what is normally a Thursday tradition here on the show,
but because of the holiday, we're knocking it out today
and we're doing it with the Great Albert Breer, Senior
(01:22):
NFL reporter, lead content strategist at the MMQB. You can
get him on x at Albert Brier and AB. First off,
good morning, and I know that you're very interested in this,
but I am watching the Nora Ad Santa tracker and
it is showing that he is forty seconds away from
landing and dropping off gifts somewhere in Russia. So just
(01:45):
so you know, he's on his way, so hopefully everybody's
behaving there at the house in Russia.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Huh yeah, well, I will take it to you, Santa
to get my kids in line. But you can put
that on the lists of things that don't work.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Yeah, that's that's that trick.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Will you go to the well one too many times
and it doesn't have the effect that it once did.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Hey, by the way, how do you feel about eggnog?
Speaker 3 (02:12):
I'm fine with it, Like.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
I don't like.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
I don't I would say I love it, but like
if somebody puts it in front of me, or there's
a drink at a party, I'll have it like I
don't know, I'm not like, I don't think I'm strong
one way or the other with it.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
Yeah, I would you. I mean, if have you ever
gotten like fried off of eggnog? Like when they put
it in front of you, did they put enough of
them in front of you? I mean, you had a
great means of eggnog.
Speaker 6 (02:39):
Ar.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
I would say likes been part of the process of
me before, but it's never.
Speaker 7 (02:45):
Been the reason.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Yes, yes, yes, it's so the long snaper on a team,
you know, he gets still gets a ring.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
But you know, how much did you get the job done?
I got you, all right?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
So with that being said, how is this going to
play out with DK Metcalf and what happened in the
the guarantees and voiding potentially of the guarantees based on
his altercation with that fan in Detroit on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
You know, that's like the standard language in a lot
of contracts where if you get suspended for conduct, detrimental,
drug suspension, whatever it might be, it can avoid the
guarantees in your contracts. So I wouldn't say that is
I wouldn't say that's unusual. And and and just so
people know, like when you're talking about, you know, like
(03:36):
what the hearing officer is presiding over there, it's not
the terms of the contract, it's just the suspension. So
it's not like a hearing officer can go in there
and say, Okay, well we're going to uphold your two
game suspension, but you get to keep your guarantees, you know.
So it's either one or the other. And and look
(03:57):
like I think, you know it's it's hard because there's
this is one of those where it's like, you know,
the fan says one thing, DK says another thing. How
do you how do you adjudicate whose lines who is not?
And then you know you have I would think like
the league could find someone, whether it's a security guard,
(04:19):
it's other season ticket holders that were in that section.
I would think the leading in the lines could find
someone who is with an earshot who was a witness
to that conversation. But maybe that's asking too much. I
don't know. I just know this. I just know this,
Like I it's a serious thing for a player, because
you know, I this gives a team a lot of
(04:39):
freedom to walk away over the next couple of years
if they want to, and you know, guaranteed money to
everything in the NFL. So like if they the Steelers aside,
We're going to tear this whole thing down and build
it back from the ground up after this year, and
they want to walk away from Dk, DK, They've got
a lot more flexibility to do that. If it's a
(05:00):
spensions of health.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Abe, doesn't it open up the conversation to a larger
a larger one, Like to me, all right, what is
DK saying with Sid? Do you know that for certain
what he's alleging.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
I mean, he's yeah, So he's alleged that there were
some sort of racial and I don't know or a
racial reference, but it was something there. The fan has
adamantly denied that. And like the fan had said, I
think something along the lines of DK doesn't like being
called by his full name, and so like he was
(05:36):
referring to him by his full name, and then there
was some preference to DK's mom.
Speaker 7 (05:42):
So, I mean, here's the reason.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Why I asked, Yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 7 (05:46):
I was going to say, because I wanted to establish
that here.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
And and the reason why I'm asking is DK standing
right behind the bench, he's addressing one of his teammates.
Speaker 7 (05:57):
When the guy says whatever it.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
Is that he's saying, there was no real reaction from
any of the fans. There was a police officer that
he looked at and maybe a gesture or whatever. Everybody
watched him walk over to this fan, and you can
tell by the way he walked over there it was
a creepwalk, like he knew he was creeping over there
(06:20):
to do something. I don't know what it was going
to be. It ended up him grabbing his hair. But abe,
doesn't it open the conversation to a larger conversation. If
there were truly a racial slur of some type that
was hollered, why did that police officer not react? Why
didn't who By the way, the attendant that was standing
there in the red jacket, he was black.
Speaker 7 (06:41):
He was a black dude.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
If there was a racial slur of anything any type
that was said, they would have drugged that man up
out of there, like there's no doubt in my mind
they would have grabbed that man up and drug him
up out of that stadium. For the fact that there
was no real reactions at all between the interaction between
the fan and DK, it raises more a question to
(07:03):
me as to why was it so casual for the
people that were standing involved in it to just let
him walk over and do it right?
Speaker 3 (07:12):
And I and I like, that's all the stuff that
the league has to dig through, and like, you know,
evidently there was I think a history with DK and
this Fand I don't want to speak out of school here,
but I guess there have been something previously that had
happened between DK and the fan. A lots on the
Steelers were there, which I'm not sure when that was,
but there was when he was with Seahawks. I'm sorry,
(07:32):
we're we're been when he was a Seahawks, So you know,
I like, that's my That's my whole thing. LeVar is
like this didn't happen in some like empty hallway, you
know what I mean, Like it happened in a stadium.
And again, like it's not like the Lions don't have
records of like who is sitting where like those are
(07:54):
seats right on the field, those are all seats and
ticket holders, like they know who are saying, they know
who's sitting in those seats, they know, you know, obviously,
the identity of their own security guards. You know, So
like there should be a pretty expedient way to get
to that information.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
You know.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
And again, like it's you know, obviously, if there are
any sort of racial source involved here, it takes on
a completely different context. On the flip side, if DK
is accusing this guy of that without like and it's
not true, that's that's not good either, you know, so
(08:32):
one way or the other, something pretty bad is happening here.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Get him on x AT.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Albert Breers, senior NFL reporter, lead content strategist for the MMQB.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Joining us here on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
So we're talking about the situation with JJ McCarthy in
Minnesota earlier and he's out again. It's another injury. The
play has been spotty, although it's been better over the
past couple of games, and I'm just wondering at this point,
at the very least, they've got to bring in some
level of competition for next year, just based on the
(09:06):
play and the availability to play for J. J.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
McCarthy, Right, Yeah, I think you're spot on it.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
And they tried to this year. You know, that was
the thing is like I that was the attempt to
keep Sam Darnold, that was the attempt to keep Daniel Jones.
And they pot competitive offers in front of those two
guys with what those guys got and Seattle and Indianapolis,
and look like those guys made their decisions and I
you know, you look at the decisions those guys made.
(09:32):
It was based on, well, you took this guy, this
other guy with a tenth pick in the draft. So
if he shows he's turning a corner, like, you're not
going to play me. You know. So this is maybe
a one year thing where I can go to this
other place Seattle or Indianapolis, and if I play well enough,
I give you the quarterbacks in the next five years.
I could be in the cour decks to the next
(09:53):
ten years. So give me that opportunity. And that's sort
of I think where you know, the Vikings would be
in this situation too, going into the off season where
it's easy to say bringing competition, okay, like, so who's
going to sign up to that, Well, it's probably not
going to be a top shelf quarterback unless you give
him the job and then you're done with JJ, you know.
(10:15):
So I think it's sort of the same situation they
were in coming out of last year, where they still
need more information on who JJ's going to be long
term as a quarterback, and they liked a lot of
things about him, but there's obviously still a lot of
unknown and the health is part of that too. So
I absolutely I'm with you, Jonas. I think they do
(10:35):
what they did last offseason, which is try to bring
in competition for JJ. Now, last year was different because
they were trying to retain competition for him. Now they've
got to go out and find competition for him. But
you know, it wouldn't surprise me if they go out
and try to do what they did a couple of
years ago for reclamation project bringing in Sam, you know,
sort of what the Bucks did a few years ago
(10:58):
bringing in Baker. Try to find some many of the
reclamation projects, you know, be that a Kyler Murray or
a two or some Blowa or someone like that that
could legitimately compete with with with UH with with JJ
for the job and offer that person the opportunity to
say you can completely change the face of your career
if you come in here, you beat out JJ and
(11:19):
you play well with you know, Justin Jefferson and Jordan
Addison and a really gifted group of skilled position players
around you.
Speaker 7 (11:27):
What's that situation like in Cleveland?
Speaker 5 (11:30):
Obviously Stefanski addressed, uh, not activating Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 7 (11:34):
I would have thought it been.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Interesting to see if he did and try to maybe
work them in, maybe giving you know, some reps in
the last couple of games of the year if it
were possible. But that's not going to happen. But he
said some really really glowing things about Deshaun Watson and
his involvement and participation. Is that a setup for if
Stefanski's back, what the future looks like with Deshaun Watson?
Speaker 7 (11:59):
How it's a complicated situation.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
How how do you see them or what what conversations
are taking place around the quarterback's position and specific particularly
to Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Yeah, I don't think the owner's made a decision on
what he what he's what he's going to do with
Kevin Stefanski at so that's number one. Like, so if
we don't know who the coach is going to be
next year. It's kind of hard to really look at
and say, Okay, here's the pass out. Reality is, though,
that they have forty six million dollars employ guaranteed due
(12:32):
to Shaun Watson next year. They would take an enormous
cap hit if they just cut him. So, like you
look at it, you say, are we better cutting bait
or are we better just hanging onto this for the
last year of the deal and seeing what it looks
like and if it doesn't work out, well, you know,
like then you know, it doesn't really change much about
(12:53):
where we're at. Like what I don't see happening in
thevar is like I'd be surprised if they bank anything
on it working out, you know, as far as okay, like,
so you have to do it on the roster. We
have this sean on the roster going into twenty twenty six.
Don't know if either of those guys are going to
be a viable starting quarterback for us next year and
(13:14):
through the future, but those two could at least give
us some flexibility where if we don't like our options
out there, either on the veteran market or or in
the draft, we don't have to overextend ourselves, you know.
In other words, like if you're not in love with
Bernado Mendoza or Dunton Moore if he comes out, or
(13:36):
Ty Simpson or any of the quarterbacks in this year's class,
you can look at it and say, all right, you
know what, Like we're not going to spend the second
or third or fourth overall pick on a quarterback this year.
So I think that'd be the way that they would
look at it. But again, like until we know who
the coach is, it's hard to speak with any certainty
on on what it's going to look like for or
(13:57):
four months from now.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Maybe we're talking yesterday. LeVar made the point that this
is for a year. As far as Coach of the
Year goes, there are so many options on the table
for guys that have just done tremendous jobs, whether it's
Liam Cohen, Ben Johnson, Mike Rabel, Mike McDonald, Dave Canalis, Like,
there's so many coaches out there.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
If you had to vote to.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Days, Shanahan, Yeah, Kyle Shanahan, Like, if you had to
vote today, who's your coach of the year in the NFL?
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Probably Rabel Orthollen, I would say, like, I just like
looking what the and Ben Johnson's got to be up
there too, like the three new guys, And I hate
doing that because that's kind of the default thing, Like
you give guys who are new like the most credit
for coming in and flipping things. But I mean, all
three of those guys like came into situations that in
(14:52):
one way or another were fundamentally broken and didn't just
fix them, but are like all three of those teams
are in competition, but two weeks left for the number
one seats for a conference. I mean that's crazy, you know.
So I'd say those three guys would be the top
of my list if I had to, I had to
parse it. I mean, I get I have a hard
(15:15):
time with this. I love what all three guys have done.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
But what name is in your head right now that
you want to say what you like? I don't want
to get away.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Liam Collin is in my head right now, just because
like at the very least, like you look at like
what Brabill's done, and he has an MVP candidate at quarterback,
and part of like how Drake May has played is
because of Mike. But like Drake has played like an.
Speaker 7 (15:39):
MVP all year.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Ben Johnson, I think inherited a roster that was actually
pretty well built, you know. And I think you look
at like what Liam Collen has done in Jacksonville, and
so many things were so messed up about that place,
you know what I mean, And it was just like
I just think, like I look at where Jacksonville was,
(16:03):
and it was like, if you had told me of
those three teams, which is the least likely to make
the playoffs at the beginning of the year, I would
have said the Jaguars, I.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Mean, plus the ability to overcome that that goofy duvall
comment to start off the season, I think he should
get some extra And.
Speaker 7 (16:21):
They lost Travis Hunter.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Yeah, he created like some self created university there and
the introductor is running.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Yeah, that is a good point. LeVar just brought up
that I totally forgot about. And they lost Travis Hunter, right, That's.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Was the big loss and the guy that they were
going to count on, and Brian Thomas hasn't played as
well as they had hoped, right, Like, think about this,
like Arthur Washington, I don't think anybody would have thought,
like in December of this year that Arthur Washington would
be like a game changing player in a high leverage
(17:00):
a game with implications.
Speaker 7 (17:01):
On the number one seed.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
And Parker Washington had six guys I think it was
one hundred and forty five yards. Like so like when
you're talking about like just maximizing people, you know what
I mean, Like, I think all three of those guys
have done that. But yeah, you're right, Like with with
some of the stuff with Liam, like there were the
questions is Trevor Lawrence broken coming into the year, Trevor
has progressively gotten better over the course of the year.
(17:25):
Drives that Tims had a dynamite year. A lot of
people have given up on him and what he could be.
Like he's taking a lot of the guys that he
inherited that other people may have given up on and
really turned them into productive players. So you know, even
like on the defensive side, guys like josh hanz Allen,
like they've really maximized what they have there. It's again
(17:48):
like all three guys have been impressive. Like maybe if
I had to parse, that would say Liam, but we
still got two weeks ago, all right, so you know.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Just in the case that we don't catch up with
you before the game. We got to ask you, right,
it is that time the Pride of Ohio.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Are you guys in New Year's either?
Speaker 1 (18:05):
No?
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Is that another that day offer you guys?
Speaker 1 (18:07):
No?
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I mean I think I think we're in I believe
we're in years.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
I don't know if i'd be on Thursday next week,
because if you guys are in New Year's Day, then
I'd be whatever. Or do you guys want me to
make a pick now?
Speaker 5 (18:17):
Right? Well?
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Yeah, I'm just saying, you know, what, what are you feeling?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Because you know, maybe things will change a week from now,
But do you feel ab just picking a random number
out of the hat? Do you feel that Ohio State
at the end of their game against Miami will have
won by more.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Than nine and a half points?
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Yes, conviction. That's some conviction right there.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Yeah, I would go check here at my first Twitter.
It looks like you've taken some of the things that
I just don't know how. You look at that receiver
and you give the kids all due respects, you give
the kids from USC the bullet in the top of awards,
and it seems to like maybe Be took it personally,
(19:00):
so he'll be Tolly healthy again. He wasn't healthy the
last couple of.
Speaker 7 (19:03):
Weeks this season.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
He was fighting through some stuff. I just I hope
it looks like I did last December. Guys, you know
when I think everybody was asking questions about where the
team was at and everything else, and then you know,
the gates closed and Tennessee was in that what did
they call it? Nail and north right, like that was
what they were trying to call it. The guy came
(19:24):
out with their shirts off and and went home with
their tail between their legs. So I would hope. I
would hope that the way that the team punched the
gas last year that they find that year again. And
I think there's a chance they will.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Yeah, what did you make of the opening round of
the College football Playoff this year? Because last year it
was a clean streak for home field and this year
he had a couple of like I'm still trying to
figure out what the hell Miami Texas A and m
was like that was like the hair of the dog game.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Yeah, I mean, I have, like my first two thoughts.
My first two thoughts are like I do think, Well,
I'll give you three so on what you just said,
Like I do think like there's some element of I
would say, I would do there some element of like
the layoff of SEC two teams, and I think that
hit last year too, where you had all the teams
that had to buy losing you know, their first game.
(20:19):
Like I do wonder like how much that affects the
way the teams are playing and you know whether or
not they they can they can work for the scheduling
there a little bit. My second thought would be that
we did not need two points and James Madison in
the bracket.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
I mean, I don't know, I don't know what what.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
The idea is there. I mean, I know it's the
ACC's fault, but like this ain't basketball, like you know,
it's just honestly, like you're taking what should be like
a great celebration of the sport and like crumbling it
up and throwing in the trash for like the one
percent chance that either of those teams make compelling it all.
(21:01):
And again that's all due respects, but like you know,
we sawedalent all necessarily in the year. We know what
that looks like.
Speaker 8 (21:08):
You know, So there's that, and then you know, I
I would say, I would say the third thing is
I would love to have more on campus games.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Because the atmosphere at Texas A and M the atmosphere
and Oklahoma incredible, looks incredible, you know, and I all
mess too, like they they like the idea that we
could have quarter finals at the site of what would
it be? It would be Ohio State, Indiana, Georgia and
(21:39):
who am I missing? And and and Texas Tech? Yeah right,
like can you imagine what that would be like, you know,
next week? So I wish we I wish we had
that too, But you unfortunately, old traditions die hard, and
you know, I guess there's some bull executives who don't
want to walk away from the paycheck they begin from
(22:00):
decade for decades. So I wish you could work that
part of it out too.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I mean, look to your point. Dan Lanning even said
it that Texas Tech deserves to have a home game
that like he said it himself.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Imagine what like oh my god, like yeah, because and
you can.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
It's one of those things to where and I was
thinking about this. I thought about it last year, and
I thought about it this year. It's one of those
things to where you don't have to be there to
be able to see the effect that has on television,
Like you could just watch it and it's got that
big fight feel to it and it's I mean those
man Texas A and M they were out there for hours,
(22:39):
hours before that game getting ready to go and unfortunately
didn't work out in their favor.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Still fun, man, who wants to see?
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Like who who was asking for that? You know what
I mean? Like I see enough games of Jerry World,
Like I don't I don't need to see. I don't
need to see another game an NFL stadium because they
have three hundred luxury suites in the buildings, you know
what I mean, Like I don't need that, Like I like,
and I understand if you if you want to do
(23:09):
that for the Semis and the finals, great, you know what,
Like that's fine, no problem. I love the Rose Bull.
Incorporate the Rose Bull into that, you know, but there's
no I mean, like the history of the Cotton Bowl,
Like the Cotton Bowl got moved from the actual Cotton
Bowl stadium itself into an NFL stadium more than a
decade ago. Like that's not the Cotton Bowl the way
(23:30):
the Roase Bowl is the Road Bowl anymore, you know,
what I mean. So it just it sucks and I
wish they would do more. It's the same idea as
hanceling a Notre Dame US game, which I wish Frady
was around to talk about that. It's just like you
are you are instead of like leaning into what you're
really good at, You're like you're just going to the ATM.
Speaker 7 (23:55):
You know.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
So probably not the best way to put it, but
it just sucks that they don't lean into more of
their tradition that way.
Speaker 2 (24:00):

the world of football, both involving the states of California
and Indiana. Now, last night we had a Monday night
football game. The forty nine ers went in and really
put it on the Colts. Indianapolis is reeling. They need
(28:18):
all sorts of things to happen to get into the postseason.
San Francisco's on their way to the postseason. They clinched
on Sunday with the result on Sunday Night Football, and
so you're watching the result of the Lions loss.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Rather so you're watching the Niners do.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
What they did, and then everyone's kind of looking over
on the other side, going man Philip Rivers is out
there dealing. He's slinging it on Monday Night Football in primetime.
And he spoke not only about where he's at mentally
when it comes to all this, but you know, there's
no no happy endings unless you get to the postseason
start winning some games.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Here was the quarterback of the Colts.
Speaker 7 (28:56):
I'm torn of how to express it because it's been
a blast.
Speaker 12 (28:59):
It's been a blast to prepare and to go steak
and get ready and go out there and warm up
and do all that with these guys again.
Speaker 7 (29:04):
But again, the name of the game is not you know,
go have a good time. Has helped find a way
to lead your team to win.
Speaker 12 (29:10):
And we've come up short here these first two, but
I've been a part of less percentage chances of getting
in and got in before. So you'll you'll certainly won't
hear me losing hope.
Speaker 7 (29:22):
Here as we prepare next week.
Speaker 12 (29:24):
This is the National Football League, and you've all dreamed
of playing in this game as a kid. And if
someone asked you again, you know, would you play if
you all were going to be four and two and
fourteen like some of these teams are, if you had
two games left?
Speaker 7 (29:34):
Heck, yeah, what do you mean? We get to play
an NFL football game again?
Speaker 12 (29:36):
So I think those are the two simplest routes to say.
But it's the first and foremost our job to go thinking,
you know, do the work we've been asked to do,
and and you know we've come up short. But what
we've been asked to do is give our best effort
and so that's what has to be done, you know,
these next few days of preparation, which on a short
week with Christmas on Thursday and then a division opponent
(30:00):
this on fire right now, so we'll have to bounce
back in hurry.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Guy just doesn't curse. I think t Bow's cursed.
Speaker 7 (30:06):
More than him. But he's a great trash talker.
Speaker 13 (30:10):
He was getting it in, you know, in the game, Like, man,
you shut your pie hole. You shut your pie hole
all the way up, or I'll close it for you.
You ever have a pie hole closed for.
Speaker 7 (30:24):
You, man, I'll do you ill? Do you really bad?
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Man? You're cruising for a bruising buster your crew, you're
cruising for straight bruising.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
That's some country cursing if I ever heard it.
Speaker 7 (30:34):
Golly, you wanted to do it.
Speaker 5 (30:35):
I'll put this boot in your your backside, like all right,
you know what it must work because historically, speaker, when
you hear of Philip Rivers and his his exploits of
trash talk are really you know, they're they're well documented.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
So as he showed you enough to uh warrant coming
back next year.
Speaker 7 (31:02):
Oh y'all used Hall of Fame earlier. Qus Hall of Fame.
Now you're using coming back next year.
Speaker 11 (31:08):
Well, he was a semi finalist for the Hall of
Fame this year.
Speaker 7 (31:11):
Oh yeah, he was in it.
Speaker 5 (31:12):
Well not no more so, Oh man, I listen, here's
what I say. Clearly where things are now, with how
much the physicality of the game is being legislated out
of it, and the idea of it for him to
(31:33):
have an entire offseason knowing that he's going to have
the opportunity to possibly potentially be a backup that would
be available if if need be, which seemingly for the Colts,
that that could be a strong possibility that he ends
up finding his way back in there.
Speaker 7 (31:53):
I think as a starter, I think that that's a
that's a tall task.
Speaker 5 (31:58):
But as a backup and in an entire offseason to
kind of get himself prepared, I'm not so sure that
he wouldn't be able to do that and feel in
the way he probably feels after getting two games under
his belt.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
I wonder if he has any interest in being a backup.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
Yeah, I think that's the question because he's he's coming
back to play, and I'm sure that was the conversation
with Shane Steichen when they initially reached out to him.
He wasn't going to come in there and just sit
around the bench, you know, he'd probably rather go be
around his family as kids, coaching, et cetera. So clearly
this was this was a very targeted like, Hey, if
(32:38):
you come here and you're physically able to, we are
going to start you and play you like.
Speaker 11 (32:43):
That's where we're at. And I don't know that that
opportunity is going to be there.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
In fact, I would almost assuredly say it's not going
to be there next year as a starter. It will
be there, I believe as a backup, because there is
such a you know, a lack of you know, time
that the coaches spend with these young quarterbacks to develop them.
On top of that, every time I call a game,
and especially when there's a combination of a young player
(33:09):
and a veteran, they just they always talk about the
importance of that veteran's impact on the young quarterback, the
veteran when they get in there being able to operate
the offense. I mean, I'll just be very blunt. You know,
Kirk Cousins, who you know, just won a football game
playing in Atlanta. You know, his arms not what it
used to be. He obviously has never really been able
(33:31):
to move that well. But he's sure at this point
his career is not moving at all. I mean, he
drops back, he's at that spot, he's throwing the football
from the spot in the pocket, or he's getting sacked
with the ball he's getting out for incomplete. You know,
that's that's basically what it is. And one of the
things he brings is the ball goes to where it
should go. You know, he is dissecting what the defense
(33:52):
is doing. He understands what their concept is, and the
ball is being delivered to where it needs to go.
And you saw that last night with Philip Rivers. For
the most part, like the balls going to where it
needs or should be going. He's getting them in the
right play. He understands, whether it's the run game and
the fronts and the coverages and everything that comes along
(34:12):
with that.
Speaker 7 (34:13):
That makes sense.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
And that's one of the things that young quarterbacks are
having a really hard time right now adapting.
Speaker 11 (34:19):
Into in the NFL.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
And I could go on like this long winded conversation
about it, but it honestly starts at the grassroots level
of little league football. How we're teaching quarterbacks to play quarterback.
We have taken away a snapphone or center. We have
forced these young kids now to at a young age,
instead of reading the defense and understanding what their responses
(34:44):
are as a quarterback, to simply catch the football and look.
Speaker 7 (34:49):
Around and make a throw.
Speaker 4 (34:51):
And you're not taught the right way at a young
age anymore, and it leaks all the way up into
junior high or they start running RPOs and that's the
simplest form of asking someone back there to play quarterback,
and then it translates into the high school level. And
so it's a byproduct of what the sport of football
(35:12):
has done at multiple levels and not teaching these young
men how to play quarterback. And they get to the
NFL and it's an entirely different game than they've played
their entire life, and the decisions have to be made
in two two and a half seconds, and they have
to be able to, you know, know where they're going
to go with the football the right spot consistently, and
so many are struggling to do it. And if they
(35:33):
can't rely on their physical attributes to run or move
or get outside the pocket to buy more time to
make that decision.
Speaker 7 (35:39):
They struggle.
Speaker 11 (35:40):
So will there be a place for Philip Rivers as
a backup without a doubt? You know, does he want
to do that?
Speaker 7 (35:45):
I have no idea.
Speaker 5 (35:47):
Yeah, that would be the biggest question if he's willing
to be a backup, which why wouldn't you be? Again,
he's starting because two starters went down, right, I mean,
if I can had my bets like, oh, I would
love to play and I'd love to start. If I
(36:07):
don't have a starting position, I still get the opportunity
to be on the team and be a part of
this and have the benefits of it. And if I
need to be in the game starting at some point,
there's a chance I will get an opportunity to start,
and for what it's worth. You know, the wise bull
told the young bull, you know, let's walk down and
(36:30):
get them all. Like let's not let's not run down
and get one. Let's walk down and get them all.
And that's that's kind of to me. He's an old bull,
you know, don't there's no reason to run down into
the pastor like take your time and and and those
ones that are running down they they won and done.
Speaker 7 (36:46):
They out of there.
Speaker 5 (36:47):
And then it's it's set up for him to possibly
be able to do what he's doing right now except
being in gang condition, being in conditioned to play, not
just walking off of the street or walking off of
the football field coaching. He's actually a part of the
team now. Now, that would be if he really wanted
to play. If he doesn't want to really really play
(37:10):
and he just wants to get in there. You know,
in moments like these where you're just right outside of
the playoff season and you want to try to do
that in that manner, that's a different conversation. But if
the answer to you, if I'm answering your question, Jonas,
does this mean he plays next year? I think the
best approach to it is is to have an off
(37:32):
season and come back with the idea that I'll be
a backup until I'm needed as a starter. That'd be feasible. Well,
let me ask you guys this the two things.
Speaker 4 (37:42):
One, why would he not just go back to doing
what he was doing if a team really needs and
they call him and they're in this exact same situation. Now,
it takes a unique team and situation. Because he knows
Shan Styke and he talks soone weekly they're running the
same system with the team he's coaching and he played there,
so that's unique enough it But I think the other
conversation about, you know, would he be willing to be
(38:04):
a backup is this is a guy who's viewed as
a Hall of Famer, right, I mean, he's a semi
finals for it. I believe he'll eventually get voted in.
How many Hall of Famers do you know played backup
at the end of their career. Do you know any
of that decided to say I'm willing to just be
a backup and sail off into the sunset? Like I
kind of feel like the guys who are Hall of
(38:26):
Famers when they're done, they're done and they move on.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
Yeah, even when like Joe Montana, you know, left to
go to Kansas City, that was because they decided they
were going to go with Steve Young, and.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
He's like, I don't want to be a backup here,
I want to go start. So he ended up with
the Chiefs. Yeah, I can't, And it's a good point.
I can't think of anybody that that just kind of
wrote off into the sunset on the bench.
Speaker 5 (38:49):
It's not something I tried to commit to memory or
even researched, but you know, regardless of of at which
is a valid point point. Possibly, I don't.
Speaker 7 (39:01):
I don't know. I don't have the information on that,
but I was asked.
Speaker 4 (39:04):
I mean, there's been some like edge rushers, right, like
situational edge rushers maybe, but quarterback I don't think there
has been.
Speaker 7 (39:10):
Yeah, I don't, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (39:11):
All I would say is is if you want to
be a part of the game and you're enjoying being
around it, and you got this opportunity to get back
into it the way that he did, I don't see
there being and why would there be an issue with it.
Speaker 7 (39:26):
You are Hall of Famer.
Speaker 5 (39:27):
That's not going to change whether you're being a backup
waiting for or not even waiting for, just assisting in
the opportunity to possibly play and contribute.
Speaker 7 (39:38):
I just don't.
Speaker 5 (39:39):
I don't see that being an issue if you want
to play, you know, as it comes for us all
the ultimate end to you being a starter or you
being the main focus of the team. It comes to
an end for everybody that plays the game.
Speaker 7 (39:54):
So if you have an.
Speaker 5 (39:55):
Opportunity like Philip Rivers, it's a very unique opportunity. I
think you got to take a unique stance on it.
You find your way back into the league. You're wanted
by a team, the team took you on, you got
a contract and you're starting. If if that's not what
it is the the next year after, you do have
(40:16):
liberties and you do have privileges that a Hall of Fame,
you know, bound guy would have. I would be eating steaks.
I would be hanging out, mentoring guys, having a good
time and taking it all in one more time. I
don't know when it's over. I can't believe I'm here,
(40:39):
but I am, and I'm doing this. This is crazy
after five years, uh, this being year six of it.
Speaker 7 (40:49):
Out of your mouth. You got to go in. I'd
be right there on the sideline, straight stogy, straight stogy,
straight stogy. It might be weedy too. Now everything is.
Speaker 5 (41:01):
On the table these days, man, I might have a
straight up gunja gunja session out that joint like you know.
Speaker 7 (41:08):
I don't know, but i'd be right there, ready to go.
Speaker 5 (41:12):
I'm gonna respect the game, I'm gonna respect my teammates,
but at the same time, I'm going to enjoy the
fact that I get to enjoy this from a different perspective,
a different point of view. You know, it's very different
when you're old, you're older vet like the league feels different.
And listen, I didn't play very long, but year six
(41:32):
and seven for me was very different than year one,
one through three, one through four. It was very different
in the way I view things. So if I was
in like a fifteen twenty year career, I can't even
imagine what I'd be feeling like at year ten, year fifteen, year, seventeen,
year eighteen.
Speaker 7 (41:53):
I don't know how I feel, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (41:55):
I know I probably feel a lot more subdued and
a lot more relaxed than what I did from the
other moments in my career.
Speaker 4 (42:03):
So you know, it just depends. It all depends on
what he's looking for. Yeah, I mean, think about it
this way. The average career spend in the NFL is
like three years, maybe a little over that. So when
you get to that year, you know, five, year, six,
year seven, it's it's a small portion of the league,
like on every roster that's been around that long.
Speaker 7 (42:21):
Now they've they've changed.
Speaker 4 (42:22):
Some of the eligibility rules where you see older veteran
players who could qualify for the practice squad back when
we played you know, once you yeah, well once you
once you played enough or on the active roster enough,
you were essentially prohibited from playing the practice squad.
Speaker 7 (42:39):
So you had some guys who were brought up.
Speaker 4 (42:42):
Yeah, some guys who are brought up and they won't
even be active some days, but because they're on the
active roster, right like they just they ended up not qualifying.
So you actually cut out a big portion of the
league and made even harder back then. Today they've actually
made it easier to hang around, not necessarily always make
the active roster and be a part of that, but
it's still relatively low.
Speaker 5 (43:02):
I mean, I think you get credit as a practice
roster guy these days. I mean, because well you're not.
Speaker 7 (43:08):
As an a credited squad right. See, that's the thing,
that's the key.
Speaker 5 (43:12):
If I'm coming back as a VET, I'll be damn
if you keep me on the practice squad. I'm not
getting and I'm not getting any credit for being here
and doing what I'm doing.
Speaker 7 (43:21):
Like you could forget that.
Speaker 4 (43:23):
I get that, but I think it's it's a window
into like being able to have that shot and then yeah,
you can rank me up.
Speaker 5 (43:29):
If I'm Philip Rivers you bring me in as a
practice squad guy, or if I'm a VET and you
bring me in as a practice squad guy to ramp
me up, Like, I got no problem with that. But
if you're planning on keeping me there and I know
I'm not going to clear waivers, ain't nobody else coming
from my old ass. I'm not passing around like that. Hey,
you know, I mean, listen, you make some good money
(43:50):
that you wouldn't make otherwise, so you could look at
it that way, like you're making some appearances, But don't
expect me to be on no next level type stuff.
I'm gonna be out there, like y'all said, I had
some sunglasses on and practice.
Speaker 7 (44:04):
I have a bag of weed, Am I am?
Speaker 5 (44:06):
I practice socks I was. I'm gonna be standing out.
I'm gonna have some backwoods and the other one I'm
gonna be rolling up. They're gonna be like, what's the
O g over there doing? Man?
Speaker 4 (44:16):
The best is you know the dudes who come around
and check for their uniform violations like pregame and stuff
throughout the.
Speaker 11 (44:21):
Game, They'll be like standing there. They'll be kidding arant
to give me a little of that.
Speaker 7 (44:25):
Man, you want a little head? What you got that sock?
Speaker 3 (44:29):
Man?
Speaker 7 (44:29):
What you need? Man? I got so I got some purple?
Speaker 9 (44:32):
Hey, what you need?
Speaker 4 (44:34):
That's one of those girls spots about uh, that particular
group because those guys are former players, right, was that
at your experience and being those.
Speaker 7 (44:41):
Guys, Yeah, Merton was that's the guy when I was there,
when I was playing.
Speaker 5 (44:45):
But they'd always come and like, dap you up and hey, man,
give you a five thousand dollars five.
Speaker 11 (44:50):
Well, the usually they'd warn you. They'd be like, hey, man,
my man, you know hey, you know what you know.
Speaker 4 (44:55):
I don't want to do this, you know, you know
I got to though, that's just that's just just get
those socks for me, all right, man, Just make sure
you get Hey, hey, hey, I need to see.
Speaker 11 (45:03):
A little more like you have to play a little man.
Speaker 7 (45:06):
I need to see a little bit more white that white.
See that need and see that I see that need
and then pay some jersey. You know, you know me,
you know me, I don't know me. Man, do this, yeah,
I know me. Man, I got to do this. Come on, man,
how's the wife and kids? Everybody?
Speaker 6 (45:21):
Good?
Speaker 7 (45:21):
Man? Yeah, you guys get then you get.
Speaker 5 (45:24):
A check like, oh, like all right, and it's light
your your check is lighter, like what is going on here?
Oh you had a uniform valus man. Then then the
whole conversation after that is a whole different too. Though
you see them after they got you be like what
you doing?
Speaker 1 (45:39):
Man?
Speaker 7 (45:40):
Like, come on, bro, I thought we was boys, Like, hey, man,
I got a job to do.
Speaker 1 (45:44):
Five thousand dollars for a sock being down too low?
Well it's like it was twenty five hundred, but still
was very twenty five dollars. Come on, I would double
down though, so it gets double.
Speaker 4 (45:55):
Right if you do it again. After you get to
it again, yeah, they double. And the crazy part is
what some players have done. And well we can get
into mouthguards, like like one of my observations from bull
season has been there's just mouthguards everywhere, Like there's mouth
guards all over the field, and I'm going, what what
(46:16):
is going on? Like guys got them plugged into the
top of their helmet. There's some there's some of the receivers,
for like an m had two on their face mask
and they're not and by the way, they're not wearing
any of them. They're just on their face mask. None
of them are actually putting them in their mouth to
use the mouthguard the right way. And so like, even
the ESPN broadcast is having a hard time discern if
(46:36):
it was a flag or just a mouth guard laying
there in the field.
Speaker 11 (46:40):
And it's it's got to the point where you do
wonder if college football.
Speaker 4 (46:43):
Is going to be like, dude, you guys, you can't
wear them. They're not an accessory either put in your
mouth or like you got to leave the field.
Speaker 1 (46:51):
Yeah, the one on wild the one in the top
of the helmet, I don't get it looks like something
you get out of a claw machine.
Speaker 5 (46:56):
Because they got these new they got the new dips
out like you could put Sure, you didn't have that
type of stuff when you had airs and ride Dale's
like that.
Speaker 7 (47:04):
Why do you technology?
Speaker 2 (47:05):
Why do you got to stick anything in it?
Speaker 7 (47:07):
Yeah, well you got all these holes you gotta plug.
Speaker 11 (47:11):
Well, these dudes keep just nice putting stuff in the hole.
Speaker 7 (47:14):
Just just plug the hole. Some people take it too literal,
you know, Yeah, well I know this on the field.
They can't help it.
Speaker 2 (47:20):
What you know, man, I know that the road to
Milan runs through Saint Louis see Ilia mallanin Alyssa.
Speaker 1 (47:27):

(47:47):
with you. We're gonna catch up with our guy Dean
Blandino coming up here next.
Speaker 2 (47:50):
Do you want to let you know though?
Speaker 1 (47:52):
Listen, it's the holidays. You get a couple of days
before Christmas, a few days before the end of the year.
But you can get tools that perform at the highest
level on every ever read job without compromise. When you
shot Makita at the home depot, when the job calls
for the best calling, Mkita built to be the best
available at the home depot, How pros get more done
and how were the professionals when it comes to officiating
(48:12):
performing this weekend in the world of college football in
the NFL, we'll get the answers with Dean Blandino next
year on FSR.
Speaker 7 (48:20):
I wonder do they tailgate before figure skating events. Well,
I'll tell you what. If they do.
Speaker 5 (48:25):
Game Day's rule and this will apply to you as
well before you go in there and watch the figures skating.
If you could dig what I'm saying, add some handcrafted
tang of the original Louisiana hot sauce to your food.
That's right, super spicy.
Speaker 7 (48:41):
It don't matter what day it is.
Speaker 5 (48:43):
You could be going to see figure skate, you could
be going to see some football, it don't matter. It
becomes a little bit more like game day. When you
pour out the handcrafted recipe on pizza, you know other stuff,
You'll feel like leaping out of your recliner. You'll feel
like leaping out of your chair at the venue.
Speaker 7 (49:00):
That's right. Drop it on your wings.
Speaker 5 (49:02):
Every bite will hit the same euphoric feeling that you
feel when your team does something like, say you're wide out,
does a toe drag for a touchdown, something to that effect. Right,
you dash the simple three ingredients on your food, Well
that's Louisiana hot sauce. Y'all all right? You put it
on your plate. It's a winner. It turns any day
(49:24):
into a tailgate type of day. And you know what, well,
they've been doing it for almost one hundred years. That
legacy is long standing. If you could dig what I'm saying,
turning winning dishes into championship ones. The original Louisiana Hot sauce,
it's kind of like your food's lucky jersey, and it
(49:45):
could be your lucky jersey as well. And you know
what the original Louisiana Hot sauce as well. I'm talking about.
Make sure you add a little bit to your day
so you can have a little bit more of a
game day. That's Louisiana Hot Sauce. Make sure you.
Speaker 7 (49:58):
Buy you some.

Speaker 1 (51:00):
And love, all right, sheriff SWEEKA. You've got the good
this week because Bradon t quinn is out all right.
Speaker 7 (51:08):
So the good gentleman I got for us.
Speaker 6 (51:10):
The NBA has actually recently gathered some pulling to see
if they can try and combat new ways to prevent
teams from tanking. Have gone on to say they're suggesting
and brainstorming ideas, maybe to no longer allowing a team
to draft in the top four two years in a row,
and maybe even locking lottery positions after March.
Speaker 2 (51:29):
First, they're looking at possible things to help combat this.
Speaker 7 (51:33):
Guys.
Speaker 2 (51:33):
I think that's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (51:35):
I mean, yeah, it's you know, let's say if it works.
Let's see if if they actually you know, implement this stuff,
or if this is just all talk.
Speaker 7 (51:43):
But it's fair.
Speaker 2 (51:45):
What else we got? Who's got the you.
Speaker 13 (51:47):
Got the bad shareff, Jonas, Oh, this is easy, come on, bearing,
this is easy.
Speaker 2 (51:53):
Here's your bad for the week.
Speaker 1 (51:55):
Eggnog and the push for people to try and sell
you on eggnoggat my bad, yours, my bad, not yours.
Eggnog is revolting. It's the equivalent of peeps during Easter,
candy corn during Halloween. The people that say they like
it don't actually like it, and they can put anything
they want inside of it, like oo's a urinal cake,
(52:17):
you name it. It's not going to improve it. You
can't polish a turn, as they say, and eggnog is awful.
Speaker 2 (52:23):
Dear, you have to try different brands. Okay, candy Corn's good, Jonas,
I can't go with you there. Okay, well you know
what share of far you get?
Speaker 7 (52:32):
The ugly go for a brother, you know.
Speaker 5 (52:34):
My ugly is all of this displaced, misplaced, bad placed,
lead the lap hate Like, Mike, I get it, But bro, like,
you don't get paid to come on Jonas's feed every
single day and ask where he's at. And the rest
of the guys that are big time leave followers like

you feel about them. But hit Leah like why do
y'all keep hitting jon this up like it's the weirdest thing. Man,
It makes me wonder about it.

what is normally a Thursday tradition here on the show,
but because of the holiday, we're knocking it out today
and we're doing it with the Great Albert Breer, Senior
(01:22):
NFL reporter, lead content strategist at the MMQB. You can
get him on x at Albert Brier and AB. First off,
good morning, and I know that you're very interested in this,
but I am watching the Nora Ad Santa tracker and
it is showing that he is forty seconds away from
landing and dropping off gifts somewhere in Russia. So just
(01:45):
so you know, he's on his way, so hopefully everybody's
behaving there at the house in Russia.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Huh yeah, well, I will take it to you, Santa
to get my kids in line. But you can put
that on the lists of things that don't work.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Yeah, that's that's that trick.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Will you go to the well one too many times
and it doesn't have the effect that it once did.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Hey, by the way, how do you feel about eggnog?
Speaker 3 (02:12):
I'm fine with it, Like.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
I don't like.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
I don't I would say I love it, but like
if somebody puts it in front of me, or there's
a drink at a party, I'll have it like I
don't know, I'm not like, I don't think I'm strong
one way or the other with it.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
Yeah, I would you. I mean, if have you ever
gotten like fried off of eggnog? Like when they put
it in front of you, did they put enough of
them in front of you? I mean, you had a
great means of eggnog.
Speaker 6 (02:39):
Ar.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
I would say likes been part of the process of
me before, but it's never.
Speaker 7 (02:45):
Been the reason.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Yes, yes, yes, it's so the long snaper on a team,
you know, he gets still gets a ring.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
But you know, how much did you get the job done?
I got you, all right?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
So with that being said, how is this going to
play out with DK Metcalf and what happened in the
the guarantees and voiding potentially of the guarantees based on
his altercation with that fan in Detroit on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
You know, that's like the standard language in a lot
of contracts where if you get suspended for conduct, detrimental,
drug suspension, whatever it might be, it can avoid the
guarantees in your contracts. So I wouldn't say that is
I wouldn't say that's unusual. And and and just so
people know, like when you're talking about, you know, like
(03:36):
what the hearing officer is presiding over there, it's not
the terms of the contract, it's just the suspension. So
it's not like a hearing officer can go in there
and say, Okay, well we're going to uphold your two
game suspension, but you get to keep your guarantees, you know.
So it's either one or the other. And and look
(03:57):
like I think, you know it's it's hard because there's
this is one of those where it's like, you know,
the fan says one thing, DK says another thing. How
do you how do you adjudicate whose lines who is not?
And then you know you have I would think like
the league could find someone, whether it's a security guard,
(04:19):
it's other season ticket holders that were in that section.
I would think the leading in the lines could find
someone who is with an earshot who was a witness
to that conversation. But maybe that's asking too much. I
don't know. I just know this. I just know this,
Like I it's a serious thing for a player, because
you know, I this gives a team a lot of
(04:39):
freedom to walk away over the next couple of years
if they want to, and you know, guaranteed money to
everything in the NFL. So like if they the Steelers aside,
We're going to tear this whole thing down and build
it back from the ground up after this year, and
they want to walk away from Dk, DK, They've got
a lot more flexibility to do that. If it's a
(05:00):
spensions of health.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Abe, doesn't it open up the conversation to a larger
a larger one, Like to me, all right, what is
DK saying with Sid? Do you know that for certain
what he's alleging.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
I mean, he's yeah, So he's alleged that there were
some sort of racial and I don't know or a
racial reference, but it was something there. The fan has
adamantly denied that. And like the fan had said, I
think something along the lines of DK doesn't like being
called by his full name, and so like he was
(05:36):
referring to him by his full name, and then there
was some preference to DK's mom.
Speaker 7 (05:42):
So, I mean, here's the reason.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Why I asked, Yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 7 (05:46):
I was going to say, because I wanted to establish
that here.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
And and the reason why I'm asking is DK standing
right behind the bench, he's addressing one of his teammates.
Speaker 7 (05:57):
When the guy says whatever it.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
Is that he's saying, there was no real reaction from
any of the fans. There was a police officer that
he looked at and maybe a gesture or whatever. Everybody
watched him walk over to this fan, and you can
tell by the way he walked over there it was
a creepwalk, like he knew he was creeping over there
(06:20):
to do something. I don't know what it was going
to be. It ended up him grabbing his hair. But abe,
doesn't it open the conversation to a larger conversation. If
there were truly a racial slur of some type that
was hollered, why did that police officer not react? Why
didn't who By the way, the attendant that was standing
there in the red jacket, he was black.
Speaker 7 (06:41):
He was a black dude.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
If there was a racial slur of anything any type
that was said, they would have drugged that man up
out of there, like there's no doubt in my mind
they would have grabbed that man up and drug him
up out of that stadium. For the fact that there
was no real reactions at all between the interaction between
the fan and DK, it raises more a question to
(07:03):
me as to why was it so casual for the
people that were standing involved in it to just let
him walk over and do it right?
Speaker 3 (07:12):
And I and I like, that's all the stuff that
the league has to dig through, and like, you know,
evidently there was I think a history with DK and
this Fand I don't want to speak out of school here,
but I guess there have been something previously that had
happened between DK and the fan. A lots on the
Steelers were there, which I'm not sure when that was,
but there was when he was with Seahawks. I'm sorry,
(07:32):
we're we're been when he was a Seahawks, So you know,
I like, that's my That's my whole thing. LeVar is
like this didn't happen in some like empty hallway, you
know what I mean, Like it happened in a stadium.
And again, like it's not like the Lions don't have
records of like who is sitting where like those are
(07:54):
seats right on the field, those are all seats and
ticket holders, like they know who are saying, they know
who's sitting in those seats, they know, you know, obviously,
the identity of their own security guards. You know, So
like there should be a pretty expedient way to get
to that information.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
You know.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
And again, like it's you know, obviously, if there are
any sort of racial source involved here, it takes on
a completely different context. On the flip side, if DK
is accusing this guy of that without like and it's
not true, that's that's not good either, you know, so
(08:32):
one way or the other, something pretty bad is happening here.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Get him on x AT.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Albert Breers, senior NFL reporter, lead content strategist for the MMQB.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Joining us here on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
So we're talking about the situation with JJ McCarthy in
Minnesota earlier and he's out again. It's another injury. The
play has been spotty, although it's been better over the
past couple of games, and I'm just wondering at this point,
at the very least, they've got to bring in some
level of competition for next year, just based on the
(09:06):
play and the availability to play for J. J.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
McCarthy, Right, Yeah, I think you're spot on it.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
And they tried to this year. You know, that was
the thing is like I that was the attempt to
keep Sam Darnold, that was the attempt to keep Daniel Jones.
And they pot competitive offers in front of those two
guys with what those guys got and Seattle and Indianapolis,
and look like those guys made their decisions and I
you know, you look at the decisions those guys made.
(09:32):
It was based on, well, you took this guy, this
other guy with a tenth pick in the draft. So
if he shows he's turning a corner, like, you're not
going to play me. You know. So this is maybe
a one year thing where I can go to this
other place Seattle or Indianapolis, and if I play well enough,
I give you the quarterbacks in the next five years.
I could be in the cour decks to the next
(09:53):
ten years. So give me that opportunity. And that's sort
of I think where you know, the Vikings would be
in this situation too, going into the off season where
it's easy to say bringing competition, okay, like, so who's
going to sign up to that, Well, it's probably not
going to be a top shelf quarterback unless you give
him the job and then you're done with JJ, you know.
(10:15):
So I think it's sort of the same situation they
were in coming out of last year, where they still
need more information on who JJ's going to be long
term as a quarterback, and they liked a lot of
things about him, but there's obviously still a lot of
unknown and the health is part of that too. So
I absolutely I'm with you, Jonas. I think they do
(10:35):
what they did last offseason, which is try to bring
in competition for JJ. Now, last year was different because
they were trying to retain competition for him. Now they've
got to go out and find competition for him. But
you know, it wouldn't surprise me if they go out
and try to do what they did a couple of
years ago for reclamation project bringing in Sam, you know,
sort of what the Bucks did a few years ago
(10:58):
bringing in Baker. Try to find some many of the
reclamation projects, you know, be that a Kyler Murray or
a two or some Blowa or someone like that that
could legitimately compete with with with UH with with JJ
for the job and offer that person the opportunity to
say you can completely change the face of your career
if you come in here, you beat out JJ and
(11:19):
you play well with you know, Justin Jefferson and Jordan
Addison and a really gifted group of skilled position players
around you.
Speaker 7 (11:27):
What's that situation like in Cleveland?
Speaker 5 (11:30):
Obviously Stefanski addressed, uh, not activating Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 7 (11:34):
I would have thought it been.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Interesting to see if he did and try to maybe
work them in, maybe giving you know, some reps in
the last couple of games of the year if it
were possible. But that's not going to happen. But he
said some really really glowing things about Deshaun Watson and
his involvement and participation. Is that a setup for if
Stefanski's back, what the future looks like with Deshaun Watson?
Speaker 7 (11:59):
How it's a complicated situation.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
How how do you see them or what what conversations
are taking place around the quarterback's position and specific particularly
to Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Yeah, I don't think the owner's made a decision on
what he what he's what he's going to do with
Kevin Stefanski at so that's number one. Like, so if
we don't know who the coach is going to be
next year. It's kind of hard to really look at
and say, Okay, here's the pass out. Reality is, though,
that they have forty six million dollars employ guaranteed due
(12:32):
to Shaun Watson next year. They would take an enormous
cap hit if they just cut him. So, like you
look at it, you say, are we better cutting bait
or are we better just hanging onto this for the
last year of the deal and seeing what it looks
like and if it doesn't work out, well, you know,
like then you know, it doesn't really change much about
(12:53):
where we're at. Like what I don't see happening in
thevar is like I'd be surprised if they bank anything
on it working out, you know, as far as okay, like,
so you have to do it on the roster. We
have this sean on the roster going into twenty twenty six.
Don't know if either of those guys are going to
be a viable starting quarterback for us next year and
(13:14):
through the future, but those two could at least give
us some flexibility where if we don't like our options
out there, either on the veteran market or or in
the draft, we don't have to overextend ourselves, you know.
In other words, like if you're not in love with
Bernado Mendoza or Dunton Moore if he comes out, or
(13:36):
Ty Simpson or any of the quarterbacks in this year's class,
you can look at it and say, all right, you
know what, Like we're not going to spend the second
or third or fourth overall pick on a quarterback this year.
So I think that'd be the way that they would
look at it. But again, like until we know who
the coach is, it's hard to speak with any certainty
on on what it's going to look like for or
(13:57):
four months from now.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Maybe we're talking yesterday. LeVar made the point that this
is for a year. As far as Coach of the
Year goes, there are so many options on the table
for guys that have just done tremendous jobs, whether it's
Liam Cohen, Ben Johnson, Mike Rabel, Mike McDonald, Dave Canalis, Like,
there's so many coaches out there.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
If you had to vote to.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Days, Shanahan, Yeah, Kyle Shanahan, Like, if you had to
vote today, who's your coach of the year in the NFL?
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Probably Rabel Orthollen, I would say, like, I just like
looking what the and Ben Johnson's got to be up
there too, like the three new guys, And I hate
doing that because that's kind of the default thing, Like
you give guys who are new like the most credit
for coming in and flipping things. But I mean, all
three of those guys like came into situations that in
(14:52):
one way or another were fundamentally broken and didn't just
fix them, but are like all three of those teams
are in competition, but two weeks left for the number
one seats for a conference. I mean that's crazy, you know.
So I'd say those three guys would be the top
of my list if I had to, I had to
parse it. I mean, I get I have a hard
(15:15):
time with this. I love what all three guys have done.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
But what name is in your head right now that
you want to say what you like? I don't want
to get away.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Liam Collin is in my head right now, just because
like at the very least, like you look at like
what Brabill's done, and he has an MVP candidate at quarterback,
and part of like how Drake May has played is
because of Mike. But like Drake has played like an.
Speaker 7 (15:39):
MVP all year.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Ben Johnson, I think inherited a roster that was actually
pretty well built, you know. And I think you look
at like what Liam Collen has done in Jacksonville, and
so many things were so messed up about that place,
you know what I mean, And it was just like
I just think, like I look at where Jacksonville was,
(16:03):
and it was like, if you had told me of
those three teams, which is the least likely to make
the playoffs at the beginning of the year, I would
have said the Jaguars, I.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Mean, plus the ability to overcome that that goofy duvall
comment to start off the season, I think he should
get some extra And.
Speaker 7 (16:21):
They lost Travis Hunter.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Yeah, he created like some self created university there and
the introductor is running.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Yeah, that is a good point. LeVar just brought up
that I totally forgot about. And they lost Travis Hunter, right, That's.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Was the big loss and the guy that they were
going to count on, and Brian Thomas hasn't played as
well as they had hoped, right, Like, think about this,
like Arthur Washington, I don't think anybody would have thought,
like in December of this year that Arthur Washington would
be like a game changing player in a high leverage
(17:00):
a game with implications.
Speaker 7 (17:01):
On the number one seed.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
And Parker Washington had six guys I think it was
one hundred and forty five yards. Like so like when
you're talking about like just maximizing people, you know what
I mean, Like, I think all three of those guys
have done that. But yeah, you're right, Like with with
some of the stuff with Liam, like there were the
questions is Trevor Lawrence broken coming into the year, Trevor
has progressively gotten better over the course of the year.
(17:25):
Drives that Tims had a dynamite year. A lot of
people have given up on him and what he could be.
Like he's taking a lot of the guys that he
inherited that other people may have given up on and
really turned them into productive players. So you know, even
like on the defensive side, guys like josh hanz Allen,
like they've really maximized what they have there. It's again
(17:48):
like all three guys have been impressive. Like maybe if
I had to parse, that would say Liam, but we
still got two weeks ago, all right, so you know.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Just in the case that we don't catch up with
you before the game. We got to ask you, right,
it is that time the Pride of Ohio.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Are you guys in New Year's either?
Speaker 1 (18:05):
No?
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Is that another that day offer you guys?
Speaker 1 (18:07):
No?
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I mean I think I think we're in I believe
we're in years.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
I don't know if i'd be on Thursday next week,
because if you guys are in New Year's Day, then
I'd be whatever. Or do you guys want me to
make a pick now?
Speaker 5 (18:17):
Right? Well?
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Yeah, I'm just saying, you know, what, what are you feeling?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Because you know, maybe things will change a week from now,
But do you feel ab just picking a random number
out of the hat? Do you feel that Ohio State
at the end of their game against Miami will have
won by more.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Than nine and a half points?
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Yes, conviction. That's some conviction right there.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Yeah, I would go check here at my first Twitter.
It looks like you've taken some of the things that
I just don't know how. You look at that receiver
and you give the kids all due respects, you give
the kids from USC the bullet in the top of awards,
and it seems to like maybe Be took it personally,
(19:00):
so he'll be Tolly healthy again. He wasn't healthy the
last couple of.
Speaker 7 (19:03):
Weeks this season.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
He was fighting through some stuff. I just I hope
it looks like I did last December. Guys, you know
when I think everybody was asking questions about where the
team was at and everything else, and then you know,
the gates closed and Tennessee was in that what did
they call it? Nail and north right, like that was
what they were trying to call it. The guy came
(19:24):
out with their shirts off and and went home with
their tail between their legs. So I would hope. I
would hope that the way that the team punched the
gas last year that they find that year again. And
I think there's a chance they will.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Yeah, what did you make of the opening round of
the College football Playoff this year? Because last year it
was a clean streak for home field and this year
he had a couple of like I'm still trying to
figure out what the hell Miami Texas A and m
was like that was like the hair of the dog game.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Yeah, I mean, I have, like my first two thoughts.
My first two thoughts are like I do think, Well,
I'll give you three so on what you just said,
Like I do think like there's some element of I
would say, I would do there some element of like
the layoff of SEC two teams, and I think that
hit last year too, where you had all the teams
that had to buy losing you know, their first game.
(20:19):
Like I do wonder like how much that affects the
way the teams are playing and you know whether or
not they they can they can work for the scheduling
there a little bit. My second thought would be that
we did not need two points and James Madison in
the bracket.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
I mean, I don't know, I don't know what what.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
The idea is there. I mean, I know it's the
ACC's fault, but like this ain't basketball, like you know,
it's just honestly, like you're taking what should be like
a great celebration of the sport and like crumbling it
up and throwing in the trash for like the one
percent chance that either of those teams make compelling it all.
(21:01):
And again that's all due respects, but like you know,
we sawedalent all necessarily in the year. We know what
that looks like.
Speaker 8 (21:08):
You know, So there's that, and then you know, I
I would say, I would say the third thing is
I would love to have more on campus games.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Because the atmosphere at Texas A and M the atmosphere
and Oklahoma incredible, looks incredible, you know, and I all
mess too, like they they like the idea that we
could have quarter finals at the site of what would
it be? It would be Ohio State, Indiana, Georgia and
(21:39):
who am I missing? And and and Texas Tech? Yeah right,
like can you imagine what that would be like, you know,
next week? So I wish we I wish we had
that too, But you unfortunately, old traditions die hard, and
you know, I guess there's some bull executives who don't
want to walk away from the paycheck they begin from
(22:00):
decade for decades. So I wish you could work that
part of it out too.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I mean, look to your point. Dan Lanning even said
it that Texas Tech deserves to have a home game
that like he said it himself.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Imagine what like oh my god, like yeah, because and
you can.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
It's one of those things to where and I was
thinking about this. I thought about it last year, and
I thought about it this year. It's one of those
things to where you don't have to be there to
be able to see the effect that has on television,
Like you could just watch it and it's got that
big fight feel to it and it's I mean those
man Texas A and M they were out there for hours,
(22:39):
hours before that game getting ready to go and unfortunately
didn't work out in their favor.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Still fun, man, who wants to see?
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Like who who was asking for that? You know what
I mean? Like I see enough games of Jerry World,
Like I don't I don't need to see. I don't
need to see another game an NFL stadium because they
have three hundred luxury suites in the buildings, you know
what I mean, Like I don't need that, Like I like,
and I understand if you if you want to do
(23:09):
that for the Semis and the finals, great, you know what,
Like that's fine, no problem. I love the Rose Bull.
Incorporate the Rose Bull into that, you know, but there's
no I mean, like the history of the Cotton Bowl,
Like the Cotton Bowl got moved from the actual Cotton
Bowl stadium itself into an NFL stadium more than a
decade ago. Like that's not the Cotton Bowl the way
(23:30):
the Roase Bowl is the Road Bowl anymore, you know,
what I mean. So it just it sucks and I
wish they would do more. It's the same idea as
hanceling a Notre Dame US game, which I wish Frady
was around to talk about that. It's just like you
are you are instead of like leaning into what you're
really good at, You're like you're just going to the ATM.
Speaker 7 (23:55):
You know.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
So probably not the best way to put it, but
it just sucks that they don't lean into more of
their tradition that way.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Yeah, I'm with you. It's yeah, we talked about that yesterday.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
It's it's a bummer, and you know, twenty thirty is
the earlier they can get, earliest they can get it fixed.
So yeah, it's it's crazy, but AB always appreciate it. Man, Mary,
Christmas to you and the fam, and then hopefully we'll
talk next week.

the world of football, both involving the states of California
and Indiana. Now, last night we had a Monday night
football game. The forty nine ers went in and really
put it on the Colts. Indianapolis is reeling. They need
(28:18):
all sorts of things to happen to get into the postseason.
San Francisco's on their way to the postseason. They clinched
on Sunday with the result on Sunday Night Football, and
so you're watching the result of the Lions loss.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Rather so you're watching the Niners do.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
What they did, and then everyone's kind of looking over
on the other side, going man Philip Rivers is out
there dealing. He's slinging it on Monday Night Football in primetime.
And he spoke not only about where he's at mentally
when it comes to all this, but you know, there's
no no happy endings unless you get to the postseason
start winning some games.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Here was the quarterback of the Colts.
Speaker 7 (28:56):
I'm torn of how to express it because it's been
a blast.
Speaker 12 (28:59):
It's been a blast to prepare and to go steak
and get ready and go out there and warm up
and do all that with these guys again.
Speaker 7 (29:04):
But again, the name of the game is not you know,
go have a good time. Has helped find a way
to lead your team to win.
Speaker 12 (29:10):
And we've come up short here these first two, but
I've been a part of less percentage chances of getting
in and got in before. So you'll you'll certainly won't
hear me losing hope.
Speaker 7 (29:22):
Here as we prepare next week.
Speaker 12 (29:24):
This is the National Football League, and you've all dreamed
of playing in this game as a kid. And if
someone asked you again, you know, would you play if
you all were going to be four and two and
fourteen like some of these teams are, if you had
two games left?
Speaker 7 (29:34):
Heck, yeah, what do you mean? We get to play
an NFL football game again?
Speaker 12 (29:36):
So I think those are the two simplest routes to say.
But it's the first and foremost our job to go thinking,
you know, do the work we've been asked to do,
and and you know we've come up short. But what
we've been asked to do is give our best effort
and so that's what has to be done, you know,
these next few days of preparation, which on a short
week with Christmas on Thursday and then a division opponent
(30:00):
this on fire right now, so we'll have to bounce
back in hurry.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Guy just doesn't curse. I think t Bow's cursed.
Speaker 7 (30:06):
More than him. But he's a great trash talker.
Speaker 13 (30:10):
He was getting it in, you know, in the game, Like, man,
you shut your pie hole. You shut your pie hole
all the way up, or I'll close it for you.
You ever have a pie hole closed for.
Speaker 7 (30:24):
You, man, I'll do you ill? Do you really bad?
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Man? You're cruising for a bruising buster your crew, you're
cruising for straight bruising.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
That's some country cursing if I ever heard it.
Speaker 7 (30:34):
Golly, you wanted to do it.
Speaker 5 (30:35):
I'll put this boot in your your backside, like all right,
you know what it must work because historically, speaker, when
you hear of Philip Rivers and his his exploits of
trash talk are really you know, they're they're well documented.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
So as he showed you enough to uh warrant coming
back next year.
Speaker 7 (31:02):
Oh y'all used Hall of Fame earlier. Qus Hall of Fame.
Now you're using coming back next year.
Speaker 11 (31:08):
Well, he was a semi finalist for the Hall of
Fame this year.
Speaker 7 (31:11):
Oh yeah, he was in it.
Speaker 5 (31:12):
Well not no more so, Oh man, I listen, here's
what I say. Clearly where things are now, with how
much the physicality of the game is being legislated out
of it, and the idea of it for him to
(31:33):
have an entire offseason knowing that he's going to have
the opportunity to possibly potentially be a backup that would
be available if if need be, which seemingly for the Colts,
that that could be a strong possibility that he ends
up finding his way back in there.
Speaker 7 (31:53):
I think as a starter, I think that that's a
that's a tall task.
Speaker 5 (31:58):
But as a backup and in an entire offseason to
kind of get himself prepared, I'm not so sure that
he wouldn't be able to do that and feel in
the way he probably feels after getting two games under
his belt.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
I wonder if he has any interest in being a backup.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
Yeah, I think that's the question because he's he's coming
back to play, and I'm sure that was the conversation
with Shane Steichen when they initially reached out to him.
He wasn't going to come in there and just sit
around the bench, you know, he'd probably rather go be
around his family as kids, coaching, et cetera. So clearly
this was this was a very targeted like, Hey, if
(32:38):
you come here and you're physically able to, we are
going to start you and play you like.
Speaker 11 (32:43):
That's where we're at. And I don't know that that
opportunity is going to be there.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
In fact, I would almost assuredly say it's not going
to be there next year as a starter. It will
be there, I believe as a backup, because there is
such a you know, a lack of you know, time
that the coaches spend with these young quarterbacks to develop them.
On top of that, every time I call a game,
and especially when there's a combination of a young player
(33:09):
and a veteran, they just they always talk about the
importance of that veteran's impact on the young quarterback, the
veteran when they get in there being able to operate
the offense. I mean, I'll just be very blunt. You know,
Kirk Cousins, who you know, just won a football game
playing in Atlanta. You know, his arms not what it
used to be. He obviously has never really been able
(33:31):
to move that well. But he's sure at this point
his career is not moving at all. I mean, he
drops back, he's at that spot, he's throwing the football
from the spot in the pocket, or he's getting sacked
with the ball he's getting out for incomplete. You know,
that's that's basically what it is. And one of the
things he brings is the ball goes to where it
should go. You know, he is dissecting what the defense
(33:52):
is doing. He understands what their concept is, and the
ball is being delivered to where it needs to go.
And you saw that last night with Philip Rivers. For
the most part, like the balls going to where it
needs or should be going. He's getting them in the
right play. He understands, whether it's the run game and
the fronts and the coverages and everything that comes along
(34:12):
with that.
Speaker 7 (34:13):
That makes sense.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
And that's one of the things that young quarterbacks are
having a really hard time right now adapting.
Speaker 11 (34:19):
Into in the NFL.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
And I could go on like this long winded conversation
about it, but it honestly starts at the grassroots level
of little league football. How we're teaching quarterbacks to play quarterback.
We have taken away a snapphone or center. We have
forced these young kids now to at a young age,
instead of reading the defense and understanding what their responses
(34:44):
are as a quarterback, to simply catch the football and look.
Speaker 7 (34:49):
Around and make a throw.
Speaker 4 (34:51):
And you're not taught the right way at a young
age anymore, and it leaks all the way up into
junior high or they start running RPOs and that's the
simplest form of asking someone back there to play quarterback,
and then it translates into the high school level. And
so it's a byproduct of what the sport of football
(35:12):
has done at multiple levels and not teaching these young
men how to play quarterback. And they get to the
NFL and it's an entirely different game than they've played
their entire life, and the decisions have to be made
in two two and a half seconds, and they have
to be able to, you know, know where they're going
to go with the football the right spot consistently, and
so many are struggling to do it. And if they
(35:33):
can't rely on their physical attributes to run or move
or get outside the pocket to buy more time to
make that decision.
Speaker 7 (35:39):
They struggle.
Speaker 11 (35:40):
So will there be a place for Philip Rivers as
a backup without a doubt? You know, does he want
to do that?
Speaker 7 (35:45):
I have no idea.
Speaker 5 (35:47):
Yeah, that would be the biggest question if he's willing
to be a backup, which why wouldn't you be? Again,
he's starting because two starters went down, right, I mean,
if I can had my bets like, oh, I would
love to play and I'd love to start. If I
(36:07):
don't have a starting position, I still get the opportunity
to be on the team and be a part of
this and have the benefits of it. And if I
need to be in the game starting at some point,
there's a chance I will get an opportunity to start,
and for what it's worth. You know, the wise bull
told the young bull, you know, let's walk down and
(36:30):
get them all. Like let's not let's not run down
and get one. Let's walk down and get them all.
And that's that's kind of to me. He's an old bull,
you know, don't there's no reason to run down into
the pastor like take your time and and and those
ones that are running down they they won and done.
Speaker 7 (36:46):
They out of there.
Speaker 5 (36:47):
And then it's it's set up for him to possibly
be able to do what he's doing right now except
being in gang condition, being in conditioned to play, not
just walking off of the street or walking off of
the football field coaching. He's actually a part of the
team now. Now, that would be if he really wanted
to play. If he doesn't want to really really play
(37:10):
and he just wants to get in there. You know,
in moments like these where you're just right outside of
the playoff season and you want to try to do
that in that manner, that's a different conversation. But if
the answer to you, if I'm answering your question, Jonas,
does this mean he plays next year? I think the
best approach to it is is to have an off
(37:32):
season and come back with the idea that I'll be
a backup until I'm needed as a starter. That'd be feasible. Well,
let me ask you guys this the two things.
Speaker 4 (37:42):
One, why would he not just go back to doing
what he was doing if a team really needs and
they call him and they're in this exact same situation. Now,
it takes a unique team and situation. Because he knows
Shan Styke and he talks soone weekly they're running the
same system with the team he's coaching and he played there,
so that's unique enough it But I think the other
conversation about, you know, would he be willing to be
(38:04):
a backup is this is a guy who's viewed as
a Hall of Famer, right, I mean, he's a semi
finals for it. I believe he'll eventually get voted in.
How many Hall of Famers do you know played backup
at the end of their career. Do you know any
of that decided to say I'm willing to just be
a backup and sail off into the sunset? Like I
kind of feel like the guys who are Hall of
(38:26):
Famers when they're done, they're done and they move on.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
Yeah, even when like Joe Montana, you know, left to
go to Kansas City, that was because they decided they
were going to go with Steve Young, and.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
He's like, I don't want to be a backup here,
I want to go start. So he ended up with
the Chiefs. Yeah, I can't, And it's a good point.
I can't think of anybody that that just kind of
wrote off into the sunset on the bench.
Speaker 5 (38:49):
It's not something I tried to commit to memory or
even researched, but you know, regardless of of at which
is a valid point point. Possibly, I don't.
Speaker 7 (39:01):
I don't know. I don't have the information on that,
but I was asked.
Speaker 4 (39:04):
I mean, there's been some like edge rushers, right, like
situational edge rushers maybe, but quarterback I don't think there
has been.
Speaker 7 (39:10):
Yeah, I don't, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (39:11):
All I would say is is if you want to
be a part of the game and you're enjoying being
around it, and you got this opportunity to get back
into it the way that he did, I don't see
there being and why would there be an issue with it.
Speaker 7 (39:26):
You are Hall of Famer.
Speaker 5 (39:27):
That's not going to change whether you're being a backup
waiting for or not even waiting for, just assisting in
the opportunity to possibly play and contribute.
Speaker 7 (39:38):
I just don't.
Speaker 5 (39:39):
I don't see that being an issue if you want
to play, you know, as it comes for us all
the ultimate end to you being a starter or you
being the main focus of the team. It comes to
an end for everybody that plays the game.
Speaker 7 (39:54):
So if you have an.
Speaker 5 (39:55):
Opportunity like Philip Rivers, it's a very unique opportunity. I
think you got to take a unique stance on it.
You find your way back into the league. You're wanted
by a team, the team took you on, you got
a contract and you're starting. If if that's not what
it is the the next year after, you do have
(40:16):
liberties and you do have privileges that a Hall of Fame,
you know, bound guy would have. I would be eating steaks.
I would be hanging out, mentoring guys, having a good
time and taking it all in one more time. I
don't know when it's over. I can't believe I'm here,
(40:39):
but I am, and I'm doing this. This is crazy
after five years, uh, this being year six of it.
Speaker 7 (40:49):
Out of your mouth. You got to go in. I'd
be right there on the sideline, straight stogy, straight stogy,
straight stogy. It might be weedy too. Now everything is.
Speaker 5 (41:01):
On the table these days, man, I might have a
straight up gunja gunja session out that joint like you know.
Speaker 7 (41:08):
I don't know, but i'd be right there, ready to go.
Speaker 5 (41:12):
I'm gonna respect the game, I'm gonna respect my teammates,
but at the same time, I'm going to enjoy the
fact that I get to enjoy this from a different perspective,
a different point of view. You know, it's very different
when you're old, you're older vet like the league feels different.
And listen, I didn't play very long, but year six
(41:32):
and seven for me was very different than year one,
one through three, one through four. It was very different
in the way I view things. So if I was
in like a fifteen twenty year career, I can't even
imagine what I'd be feeling like at year ten, year fifteen, year, seventeen,
year eighteen.
Speaker 7 (41:53):
I don't know how I feel, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (41:55):
I know I probably feel a lot more subdued and
a lot more relaxed than what I did from the
other moments in my career.
Speaker 4 (42:03):
So you know, it just depends. It all depends on
what he's looking for. Yeah, I mean, think about it
this way. The average career spend in the NFL is
like three years, maybe a little over that. So when
you get to that year, you know, five, year, six,
year seven, it's it's a small portion of the league,
like on every roster that's been around that long.
Speaker 7 (42:21):
Now they've they've changed.
Speaker 4 (42:22):
Some of the eligibility rules where you see older veteran
players who could qualify for the practice squad back when
we played you know, once you yeah, well once you
once you played enough or on the active roster enough,
you were essentially prohibited from playing the practice squad.
Speaker 7 (42:39):
So you had some guys who were brought up.
Speaker 4 (42:42):
Yeah, some guys who are brought up and they won't
even be active some days, but because they're on the
active roster, right like they just they ended up not qualifying.
So you actually cut out a big portion of the
league and made even harder back then. Today they've actually
made it easier to hang around, not necessarily always make
the active roster and be a part of that, but
it's still relatively low.
Speaker 5 (43:02):
I mean, I think you get credit as a practice
roster guy these days. I mean, because well you're not.
Speaker 7 (43:08):
As an a credited squad right. See, that's the thing,
that's the key.
Speaker 5 (43:12):
If I'm coming back as a VET, I'll be damn
if you keep me on the practice squad. I'm not
getting and I'm not getting any credit for being here
and doing what I'm doing.
Speaker 7 (43:21):
Like you could forget that.
Speaker 4 (43:23):
I get that, but I think it's it's a window
into like being able to have that shot and then yeah,
you can rank me up.
Speaker 5 (43:29):
If I'm Philip Rivers you bring me in as a
practice squad guy, or if I'm a VET and you
bring me in as a practice squad guy to ramp
me up, Like, I got no problem with that. But
if you're planning on keeping me there and I know
I'm not going to clear waivers, ain't nobody else coming
from my old ass. I'm not passing around like that. Hey,
you know, I mean, listen, you make some good money
(43:50):
that you wouldn't make otherwise, so you could look at
it that way, like you're making some appearances, But don't
expect me to be on no next level type stuff.
I'm gonna be out there, like y'all said, I had
some sunglasses on and practice.
Speaker 7 (44:04):
I have a bag of weed, Am I am?
Speaker 5 (44:06):
I practice socks I was. I'm gonna be standing out.
I'm gonna have some backwoods and the other one I'm
gonna be rolling up. They're gonna be like, what's the
O g over there doing? Man?
Speaker 4 (44:16):
The best is you know the dudes who come around
and check for their uniform violations like pregame and stuff
throughout the.
Speaker 11 (44:21):
Game, They'll be like standing there. They'll be kidding arant
to give me a little of that.
Speaker 7 (44:25):
Man, you want a little head? What you got that sock?
Speaker 3 (44:29):
Man?
Speaker 7 (44:29):
What you need? Man? I got so I got some purple?
Speaker 9 (44:32):
Hey, what you need?
Speaker 4 (44:34):
That's one of those girls spots about uh, that particular
group because those guys are former players, right, was that
at your experience and being those.
Speaker 7 (44:41):
Guys, Yeah, Merton was that's the guy when I was there,
when I was playing.
Speaker 5 (44:45):
But they'd always come and like, dap you up and hey, man,
give you a five thousand dollars five.
Speaker 11 (44:50):
Well, the usually they'd warn you. They'd be like, hey, man,
my man, you know hey, you know what you know.
Speaker 4 (44:55):
I don't want to do this, you know, you know
I got to though, that's just that's just just get
those socks for me, all right, man, Just make sure
you get Hey, hey, hey, I need to see.
Speaker 11 (45:03):
A little more like you have to play a little man.
Speaker 7 (45:06):
I need to see a little bit more white that white.
See that need and see that I see that need
and then pay some jersey. You know, you know me,
you know me, I don't know me. Man, do this, yeah,
I know me. Man, I got to do this. Come on, man,
how's the wife and kids? Everybody?
Speaker 6 (45:21):
Good?
Speaker 7 (45:21):
Man? Yeah, you guys get then you get.
Speaker 5 (45:24):
A check like, oh, like all right, and it's light
your your check is lighter, like what is going on here?
Oh you had a uniform valus man. Then then the
whole conversation after that is a whole different too. Though
you see them after they got you be like what
you doing?
Speaker 1 (45:39):
Man?
Speaker 7 (45:40):
Like, come on, bro, I thought we was boys, Like, hey, man,
I got a job to do.
Speaker 1 (45:44):
Five thousand dollars for a sock being down too low?
Well it's like it was twenty five hundred, but still
was very twenty five dollars. Come on, I would double
down though, so it gets double.
Speaker 4 (45:55):
Right if you do it again. After you get to
it again, yeah, they double. And the crazy part is
what some players have done. And well we can get
into mouthguards, like like one of my observations from bull
season has been there's just mouthguards everywhere, Like there's mouth
guards all over the field, and I'm going, what what
(46:16):
is going on? Like guys got them plugged into the
top of their helmet. There's some there's some of the receivers,
for like an m had two on their face mask
and they're not and by the way, they're not wearing
any of them. They're just on their face mask. None
of them are actually putting them in their mouth to
use the mouthguard the right way. And so like, even
the ESPN broadcast is having a hard time discern if
(46:36):
it was a flag or just a mouth guard laying
there in the field.
Speaker 11 (46:40):
And it's it's got to the point where you do
wonder if college football.
Speaker 4 (46:43):
Is going to be like, dude, you guys, you can't
wear them. They're not an accessory either put in your
mouth or like you got to leave the field.
Speaker 1 (46:51):
Yeah, the one on wild the one in the top
of the helmet, I don't get it looks like something
you get out of a claw machine.
Speaker 5 (46:56):
Because they got these new they got the new dips
out like you could put Sure, you didn't have that
type of stuff when you had airs and ride Dale's
like that.
Speaker 7 (47:04):
Why do you technology?
Speaker 2 (47:05):
Why do you got to stick anything in it?
Speaker 7 (47:07):
Yeah, well you got all these holes you gotta plug.
Speaker 11 (47:11):
Well, these dudes keep just nice putting stuff in the hole.
Speaker 7 (47:14):
Just just plug the hole. Some people take it too literal,
you know, Yeah, well I know this on the field.
They can't help it.
Speaker 2 (47:20):
What you know, man, I know that the road to
Milan runs through Saint Louis see Ilia mallanin Alyssa.
Speaker 1 (47:27):

(47:47):
with you. We're gonna catch up with our guy Dean
Blandino coming up here next.
Speaker 2 (47:50):
Do you want to let you know though?
Speaker 1 (47:52):
Listen, it's the holidays. You get a couple of days
before Christmas, a few days before the end of the year.
But you can get tools that perform at the highest
level on every ever read job without compromise. When you
shot Makita at the home depot, when the job calls
for the best calling, Mkita built to be the best
available at the home depot, How pros get more done
and how were the professionals when it comes to officiating
(48:12):
performing this weekend in the world of college football in
the NFL, we'll get the answers with Dean Blandino next
year on FSR.
Speaker 7 (48:20):
I wonder do they tailgate before figure skating events. Well,
I'll tell you what. If they do.
Speaker 5 (48:25):
Game Day's rule and this will apply to you as
well before you go in there and watch the figures skating.
If you could dig what I'm saying, add some handcrafted
tang of the original Louisiana hot sauce to your food.
That's right, super spicy.
Speaker 7 (48:41):
It don't matter what day it is.
Speaker 5 (48:43):
You could be going to see figure skate, you could
be going to see some football, it don't matter. It
becomes a little bit more like game day. When you
pour out the handcrafted recipe on pizza, you know other stuff,
You'll feel like leaping out of your recliner. You'll feel
like leaping out of your chair at the venue.
Speaker 7 (49:00):
That's right. Drop it on your wings.
Speaker 5 (49:02):
Every bite will hit the same euphoric feeling that you
feel when your team does something like, say you're wide out,
does a toe drag for a touchdown, something to that effect. Right,
you dash the simple three ingredients on your food, Well
that's Louisiana hot sauce. Y'all all right? You put it
on your plate. It's a winner. It turns any day
(49:24):
into a tailgate type of day. And you know what, well,
they've been doing it for almost one hundred years. That
legacy is long standing. If you could dig what I'm saying,
turning winning dishes into championship ones. The original Louisiana Hot sauce,
it's kind of like your food's lucky jersey, and it
(49:45):
could be your lucky jersey as well. And you know
what the original Louisiana Hot sauce as well. I'm talking about.
Make sure you add a little bit to your day
so you can have a little bit more of a
game day. That's Louisiana Hot Sauce. Make sure you.
Speaker 7 (49:58):
Buy you some.

this week because Bradon t quinn is out all right.
Speaker 7 (51:08):
So the good gentleman I got for us.
Speaker 6 (51:10):
The NBA has actually recently gathered some pulling to see
if they can try and combat new ways to prevent
teams from tanking. Have gone on to say they're suggesting
and brainstorming ideas, maybe to no longer allowing a team
to draft in the top four two years in a row,
and maybe even locking lottery positions after March.
Speaker 2 (51:29):
First, they're looking at possible things to help combat this.
Speaker 7 (51:33):
Guys.
Speaker 2 (51:33):
I think that's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (51:35):
I mean, yeah, it's you know, let's say if it works.
Let's see if if they actually you know, implement this stuff,
or if this is just all talk.
Speaker 7 (51:43):
But it's fair.
Speaker 2 (51:45):
What else we got? Who's got the you.
Speaker 13 (51:47):
Got the bad shareff, Jonas, Oh, this is easy, come on, bearing,
this is easy.
Speaker 2 (51:53):
Here's your bad for the week.
Speaker 1 (51:55):
Eggnog and the push for people to try and sell
you on eggnoggat my bad, yours, my bad, not yours.
Eggnog is revolting. It's the equivalent of peeps during Easter,
candy corn during Halloween. The people that say they like
it don't actually like it, and they can put anything
they want inside of it, like oo's a urinal cake,
(52:17):
you name it. It's not going to improve it. You
can't polish a turn, as they say, and eggnog is awful.
Speaker 2 (52:23):
Dear, you have to try different brands. Okay, candy Corn's good, Jonas,
I can't go with you there. Okay, well you know
what share of far you get?
Speaker 7 (52:32):
The ugly go for a brother, you know.
Speaker 5 (52:34):
My ugly is all of this displaced, misplaced, bad placed,
lead the lap hate Like, Mike, I get it, But bro, like,
you don't get paid to come on Jonas's feed every
single day and ask where he's at. And the rest
of the guys that are big time leave followers like
(52:55):
that's I believe that you guys are legit and how
you feel about them. But hit Leah like why do
y'all keep hitting jon this up like it's the weirdest thing. Man,
It makes me wonder about it.
