I don't know if you guys know this or not,
but if you have a calendar, one of those old
school calendars, and you go through the days of the week,
(01:27):
you finally get to this day right before we head
into the weekend. And where I come from, people call
that a football Friday Friday. Yeah, Fridy Friday. Come on,
(01:47):
all right, football Friday. Rogers still hoppen down? Come on,
it is a football Friday for the next three hours.
And uh, I had a chance, in an opportunity to
break down the all twenty twos in that game last night,
and you feel about it, the stink it's over. They're
(02:16):
just not very good man. That's just the easiest way
to put it. Brady. I think, Uh, why couldn't you
been more forceful trying to talk me out of Packers
Mitus three before the game started. I feel like, that's
on you. Yeah, probably, And I did take Tennessee plus three,
so I'm not sure that. Let's tell you about that one. Um,
(02:39):
it was weird. Was like towards the end of the game,
when the Titans were up, there were showing like a
highlight package of well the Packers have stopped to run tonight.
You're like, yeah, they don't attend though, like and and
I don't know, it was it was interesting watching that
game just because you felt like Tennessee out the gate
had control, and it reminded you that last week, Look,
(03:01):
the Packers beat the Dallas Cowboys team which it took
a while, wasn't like they dominated that game by any means.
And there's a lot of mistakes, and I think, look,
I think the best I think the betting public or
and a lot of the books probably got all of
us to be like, Nope, that's it, that's the game.
The Packers are back on track again, and that's just
(03:21):
not the case. They're just not a very it's not
a very good football team. The other way to put
it right, there is no other way to put it.
And and while you can say it could be considered
to be a win, that that Derrick Henry didn't have
a game where he obliterated them. And I think we
kind of touched on that yesterday, like he has those
(03:43):
type of games where he's just not as effective as
as they would need him to be. But he was
still effective. Like he he wasn't he wasn't far from
a hundred. They were loading up to stop the run.
They used it against him. Right, you did you do
a trick play? He gets a t D pass. Uh.
(04:06):
He was efficient and effective in his ability to move
the ball. They got him the ball in the flare.
I mean, you still have to stop Derrick Henry. If
you stop Derrick Henry, you can beat this team. And
they still were unable to do so. And and twenty
(04:27):
seven points, really, I mean, would we consider that a
whole lot of points. I wouldn't think that's a whole
lot of points. It's the most they've scored all year.
Tennesseeson hasn't scored that many all year, which is crazy
because that's not a whole Twenty seven points is not
a knockdown, blow you out type of score. So you
would think with Aaron Rodgers as your quarterback, twenty seven
(04:52):
points is is a surmountable amount of points to be
able to to get more than It's just like like
you guys are saying, I mean and and and for
the first time for me this season, you know what
I can say. I can say green Bay isn't good
and Aaron, Aaron Rodgers is not. He has not excluded
from the not good. He's not good right now. And
(05:16):
and for whatever reason anybody want to give, maybe it
is his receivers, maybe it is the play calling. You know,
from from my perspective, he had mrs. He had things
he could have done better. He had decisions he could
have made that could have been better. He had MRS.
And it's not that Aaron Rodgers. We've grown accustomed to
see and get an m v P two years in
(05:37):
a row. If I would have told you guys before
the game, right, here's what's gonna happen. Tennessee is gonna
lose the turnover battle and Derrick Henry is gonna be
held under ninety yards on a short week on the road,
you would have thought, oh, well, green Bay is gonna
run away with this. To Brady's point, I never felt
like Tennessee was in or like green Bay was in
that game, like legitimately in that game from the start,
(05:58):
it was like, oh, it's just gonna be how it is.
And Ryan Tannehill played, you know, maybe might have made
a mistake on that interception. Uh yeah, I just like
that's what I can't figure out, like what happened. And
then the total disrespect right before the two minute warning
(06:20):
in the fourth quarter where everyone thinks, all right, they're
just gonna run the ball out and they're gonna go ahead,
and uh and and just you know, grind the clock,
and then they do play action and throw deep on
Alexander to Trey Burke's and end up picking up a
first down and then just kneel it. It was like,
we have no respect for your past defense. We have
no respect for you period. We're just gonna throw on
(06:42):
you when everything should tell us, don't throw the ball,
grind the clock out and down it. And they just
didn't care. There was no regard for for anybody there
in Green Bay. And I don't know when the last
time the Packers have been booted at home, but they
got their asses bood going into half and I don't
know when the last time that's actually happened. So not
a not not a great performance overall. I was gonna say,
(07:04):
outside of that one interception by Tannehill, he I mean,
he really did every third out. I felt like he
was converting, he was moving the sticks. He made throws
when they needed to be made. He threw balls away
that weren't there. I mean it was they were abiding
to you that he's been one of the more successful
quarterbacks since he's got in Tennessee. Statistically, I mean, look
(07:26):
at all his numbers. I mean he's he's the most
prolific pass for the most wins since he's gotten to Tennessee.
He's up there with some of the best in the
game in that period of time as far as wins
go and passing yard, etcetera. Like, he's been better than
people give him credit. And we all look at Saal,
it's Derrick Henry, or it's it's Mike Vrabel. He got
Coach of the Year last year. Bryan Tannehill has played
(07:47):
a part in all of this too in the regular season.
The problem with him is he's played so bad in
the postseason it makes you forget how good he's been
in the regular season. You know, another thing that should
be in it out is a Aaron Jones was the
player that we pointed out that needed to be a
key role in them being able to to staying drives
(08:12):
to actually make things work. Um, fifty six fifty six
rushing yards. I think he only had forty. As a team,
they had fifty six. Okay, Aaron, Aaron Jones had forty
yards rushing. It's it's it's It's like you had two
(08:34):
game plans going into this game. Stop Derrick Henry, stop
stop Aaron Jones. And who would ever thought to say
stop Aaron Jones. Not stop Aaron Rodgers, but stop Aaron
Aaron Jones. You forced Aaron Rodgers to have to do
it with what the receivers with Lazar with you know,
with Watson, with with those guys at Watson isn't not Watson, Yeah, yeah,
(08:58):
it is, yeah, you know in Cleveland. Okay, I just
I get a weird little vibe when I say, um,
I just I think that that is a sign of
the times. And I just wonder knowing that, Okay, the
Tennessee defense needed to achieve an objective and they did
(09:23):
and that showed in the outcome of the game. It
just it just begs the question. Now as a coach.
How good is Matt Lafleur. That has to be now
the question that begins to be the focus. He had
better show that he's a better coach, because right now
(09:44):
this looks like a team that you said, you know what,
we have road Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers has covered up
all ills and they've come up short, but they still
look like they're on that cusp of going back to
the super Bowl because they've been very close. They just
have not been able to win the big games. And
(10:05):
now they've taken a tremendous step back steps plural backwards.
You gotta now hold the hit coach, the leadership accountable
for how this team looks. Well, you're definitely oh sorry,
I was gonna say you could definitely hold him accountable
for the lack of touches Barren Jones. I mean he
(10:26):
had twenty four rushes the previous game versus Dallas. That
was a formula where when you look at his total
yardage too in that game, but what was it close
to hundred yards whatever it was. That was what really
I think they needed to do in this matchup. Run
the football, the go, go, highlights your best player and
even though Christian Watson had another a couple of touchdown catches.
(10:47):
I mean, they're there. Passing game just is not consistent enough.
And and the one thing they should be able to
rely on is Aaron Jones, who is their best player,
so give him the football more. I mean, I know,
at no point this game Green Bay ever had a lead.
I mean literally out the gate, like they just they
never had a lead. They really, I mean they were
in it the first half, um and really the second
(11:11):
half two and they brought up within the three point
game and to the fourth quarter. But you know, they
they didn't have to get a role away from the
running game. They really didn't need to, but they but
they did in part because I think it's just not
in the in Aaron Rodgers DNA the way the last
two years have gone with him win an MVP. I
think he really thinks that like in any given game,
like it's just gonna flip a switch and they're gonna
(11:31):
start throwing the football over the place, and that's just
not what this team is anymore. So I don't know
if it's so much Matt lafleur or to disconnect with
Rogers and what he thinks their offense is or he is,
but really ultimately what they need to do in order
to win. And I think right now, it's not through
there with his arm, it's it's a it's Aaron Jones
running the football. It's probably limiting the amount of snaps
(11:53):
that defense's And that's one of the toughest things to
realize as a quarterback, is you know, limiting the amount
snaps that are taken in the game. Yeah, it hurts you,
but it might hurt the other team more. And that's
what rap because the defense hasn't played well for Green Bay.
How many coaches would you, guys take right now over
Mike Rabel or how many coaches do you rather play
(12:14):
for than Mike Rabel right now in the NFL? If
you had to say, rather play for, I mean he's
on He's on the list of coaches you would want
to play for. But that that that would be the
best way answering it for me, Like I would love
to play for Andy Reid, I would love to play
for Mike Tomlin. Um hell, I probably would love to
play for Pete Carroll. He would be high on my list.
(12:37):
Like there there are coaches that that definitely have a
a factor about them that sets them apart. And I
mean I sent you all, I told you he's the
he's the meat here, he won meat and go to
the meat heads. I mean, I sent you all the
video last night. I mean his handshake with with d
Henry on the sideline. I mean, there's a few coaches
(12:58):
that are are really one of us. He's one of
the coaches that are one of us. Like he's he's
literally one of us. He's coaching. But he's like Dan Campbell,
he's one of us, you know what I mean. Like
he's not like a former player that coaches and you
can't really relate to him like ah, he's an old
school or he doesn't really he's removed or detached, like
(13:21):
he's he's not a guy that never played the game
at a high level, like Mike Vrabel can flex on
you as a player like oh yeah, oh you think
you know it all? Coach, You're thinking, all, okay, yeah,
I do know some of all of it. Like take that, like,
here's my my accolades, here's my resume, Like, oh damn,
you did do that day. So it's Jeff Saturday the
(13:43):
next Mike Rebel, Yes, yes, yeah, he is he is
the next, he is the next Mike Vrabel. I think
Jeff Saturday is gonna make I just think I'm just
I'm over the top, make I want him. I wanted
to work. I just wanted to work. You're out of here,
You're though, you are when they when they expand to Europe,
(14:10):
You're gone. Yeah I was. I was racially lamb based
it by my own race of people over liking Jeff
Saturday as a coach. I don't really need all that pressure.
I just I just want to see I just want
to see succeed. That's really all that. Yeah. Great point.
Great point. It is two pros and a couple of jones,
(14:34):
brought to you by Discover. We could talk about how
complicated other banks making to redeemed credit card rewards, or
we can talk about how we discover you can redeem
your rewards for cash and any amount at any time.
When we talk about amazing learn more discover dot com
slash redeemed rewards terms apply. So we're gonna have the
usuals coming up later on. We've got another edition of
In case you missed it. We're also going to spread
them our picks against the spread a little bit of
(14:56):
controversy that will follow when we recap our over unders
later in the show. It's all yours. It's a three
hour extravaganza here on a football Friday. But coming up,
we are going to talk about a move the NFL
made that I think screwed all of us over Yes
you included. That's next. Be sure to catch live editions
of Two Pros and a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn,
(15:19):
LaVar Arrington, and Jonas Knocks week days at six am Eastern,
three am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I
Heart Radio. Oh yeah, oh yeah, you already know, LaVar
Oh yeah, Now that is killed the gym music right there?
(15:40):
Tell me so what they're playing in the fitness center
at some luxurious hotel in Waco, Texas. Right now, you
are stupid. I would have to walk out if I
walked into a hotel and this was playing Stacked and jacked,
step and turn right back around, walk out first. I
(16:00):
wasn't able to get to Waco. I'm in Dallas right now. Really,
how far is that drive? Catch that? And that it's
fun little drive? Yeah, but you know an hour and
a half elsewhere, not in southern California. Is a lot different.
(16:23):
I think it was an hour and a half from
the Louisville Airport Lexington and it was great, scenic, you know,
a lot of farmhouses. It was awesome. An hour and
a half in l A is miserable. I'd rather get
out and walk and then and then walk into a
car afterwards. Just miserable the whole way through. So brother,
walk into a car afterwards. Oh yeah, it's like ninety
(16:45):
minutes of traffic in l A. Is disgusting. It's it's
just gross. It's the worst anywhere. I don't want to
hear anybody try and compare any other part of the country.
They don't know what it's like on the mean streets
of southern California. I have to agree with you on that. Man,
it's brutal. It's I'd have to agree man. Parking lots,
(17:07):
it does feel like y'all just have parking lots. When
you trive like you don't the highway, you know it's
gonna be bad. It is bad. It's always bad. Yeah,
it sucks, and then you just always wonder, like who
is in front of this? Like all you have to
do is drive the speed limit, at least the speed
limit and we want to just all keep moving. But
I will say this, and you know, shouts out to
(17:30):
our our our service members. I'm not I'm not you know,
I'm not. I'm not trying to like attack anyone. I
didn't hear what you say. Would you say? Would you say,
Berto say to my hair burdo? Oh yeah, I mean hey,
But I'll tell you what. Why does the why does
(17:55):
the highway? Why does the highway patrol create traffic dams? Oh?
Where they do? That? Was winding? They wand across? Yeah,
I mean why did they do that to like slow
things up so it's not so congested to you that
or something's on the road. And so I understand when
there's something on the road, but I've seen them do
that exercise. It's the breaking traffic. They just they just
(18:19):
stopped the traffic. They slow they create a traffic jam.
I had a cop get pissed at me one time
because I didn't understand what he was doing. So yeah,
I just kept going and the guy's like, he pulls
me over and he goes, what are you doing? I
don't know? What are you doing? I don't know? So
he followed because I was I was about to do
that one, I was gonna I was just gonna screw
this cop. Okay. So like when when a cop to
(18:42):
break traffic, they'll start weaving back and forth between lanes
the highway. Yeah, they turn their lights also across every
single lane because traffic traffic will be so bad that
they figure if they can create a little bit of
a gap in the highway, then at least it'll give
the cars front time to get away and it'll separate
the traffic. Yeah, but the cars be so imagine you're
(19:08):
on a highway and normal flow. It's normal flow, but
it's it's normal flow, but it's approaching a bad situation
with gridlock. And so to alleviate that, what they'll do
is they'll stop everybody. They'll send a c HP or
a chippy as they call them, onto the freeway and
they'll weave in and out of the lanes and everybody,
(19:29):
and it creates a separation between that group of cars
and the cars in front of them. Let's say it correctly,
that group of of a traffic jam. Yes, and now
you've created another traffic jams. So that's so the thought is,
if we can separate the two groups, at least we
create a little separation, maybe some of those cars in front.
We'll get off the freeway and open up the roads
a little bit. So we don't have to worry about
(19:50):
that in South Florida because we just have normal, like
crazy people who do that on their own without the
lights on everything. So they'll they'll they'll figure out a
way of doing something that as you go, oh, I'm
gonna slow down and get away from now. It's happened
to me at night while I'm coming into work and
they do it to stop the traffic. Is the caltrans
the guys that work on the highway are are gonna
(20:11):
are gonna work on something, stop stopped. I've never heard
of this. I was about to go past him. I
was pulled me over and he's like, he's like, what
are you doing? I said him, well, what are you doing? Okay,
let I ain gonna do that. I didn't understand it,
but apparently that works. I guess I did have it
done for me one time though, because my I blew
(20:32):
a tire out, so they and he did that to
stop the traffic. He recognized you, no, no, I was
in a bad spot on that that that that freeway. Yeah,
do that, Yeah, I could have been hit, like it
could have. My car definitely was was in danger of
getting hit. So yeah, he diverted to traffic. And I
can get that, but sometimes I see him do it.
(20:54):
There's nothing going on out there. Man. I was gonna say,
like when when Jonas said, like, oh I what are
you doing? I see that guy that hit me? Right,
he'd be the guy that hit me though. I remember
one time I was I was driving in a I
guess more of an acquaintances his car, and he had
a really nice car. He lived in a really nice house.
(21:15):
I didn't really know. He was a friend of a friend.
I didn't really know like what he did or how
he made his money. And I was driving his car
I'll never forget in Scottsdale, and I was I wasn't
driving overly fast, but I wasn't really sure where I
was at. But I had this car. I was at night.
I had this car like come up quick on my bumper.
I like, what in the hell, why is this car
like on my on my butt? So bad? And so
(21:36):
then I started like speed up a little bit, and
like I stayed on and like his his car was
superintended right, like I couldn't see really that well out
of anything. It probably should be illegal, but uh so
I then I started floor it. And so I'm flying
now trying to get back to this to this guy's house,
and I'm thinking myself, like, dude, what's this guy into,
Like how does he make his money? Like I am
(21:57):
I in some sort of like I'm stone trying to
chase me down down. Apparently they flipped the lights on,
and honestly, it was so tinted I could it was
an unmarked car, and it was so tinted I could
barely see the lights out of like the rear of
your beer. The cop pulls me. He was like, what
in the hell are you doing? I go, I don't
know what the hell are you doing. I was like,
I was like, you came up on me. I was like,
and I didn't. I don't know why. You're like, you'll
(22:19):
follow me that close? And he's like, well, you know,
I can I see the vices registration, Like this isn't
my car. I was like, it's it's a buddy's here
you go, this is where it's at. But he was
like baffled. He came back. He just I don't understand
why you were driving so fast? I go, I don't
understand why you were driving so fast? Your ask and
then at one point he was just like, I'm just
(22:40):
gonna give you a warning, like we basically can't. I
kept questioning him, and he came to the point where
like he couldn't really explain why he just didn't turn
his lights on in the first place, like he had
no explanation to it. It's uh, well, but should be
noted we appreciate everything that yeah, pe do everything, but
(23:01):
but absolutely our great men of service, that women of service,
absolutely our first responders. All though, it's a great point,
and you know what to show our appreciation, fellas, it's
time to stop treating your groins like junk. Introducing the
Gillette Intimate Pubic hair Trimmer. It's a gentle and easy
shade from America's number one trusted men's grooming brand. Show
your pubic region some respect with you Lette Intimate. The
(23:23):
best demand can get. It is two pros. And because
if you're not respecting, you're you're being disrespectful. Has this
been something that cops out there have always been in
californ Was that just like a Gavin newsomething like, well, no,
I think um, I think Gavin Newsom wants him to
wear masks. That's the only difference. So you just got
to be clear on on which, you know, what the
direction is in the directive from from the Great Governor
(23:46):
is you know out here, It's gonna be clear on
that which, by the way, that is being recommended now
in l A County again, indoor masks being recommended. Just
so so that's back everybody, so happy holidays. Was that
ever not recommended? Where you go? Hey, did you guys
see the video? Did you guys see the video of
the guy that was on the elevator? He is, I go, oh,
(24:08):
you got a mask, don't you? And the guy goes, yeah,
why do you have something? And he pulled down his
ski mask. Yeah, but actually I do have a mask.
You know what do you have want to see? You know?
The Arranton family after the other morning when Lavark came home,
(24:28):
they were all wearing masks. Yeah, they needed mask. In fact,
when I got up this morning, they needed a mask.
I made some ribs yesterday, guys, and I made some
I made a deep dish pan of of block cheese
mac and cheese with with corn bread. Yeah, yeah, I
(24:56):
got kind of interesting. And broccoli by the way, yeah real,
it got real when I woke up this that that's
gonna stay around for a while. I got news for you.
If it smelled like what it smelled when I dished
it versus when I was about to eat it, I
wouldn't ate it. Yeah, I would not have ad it.
(25:17):
But it actually smelled good. It was. It was good.
You know, it was really good, guys. It was. Yeah,
it was. I'm proud of myself. Well, um, let me
tell you what's not good here on two pros and
a cup of Joe. What's not good? What the NFL
did yesterday to all of us. We had an opportunity
to watch an epic snow game this weekend, Brown's Bills
(25:39):
in Orchard Park. We're talking it was a thunder snow
they're calling it. And you see some of the videos
of that, by the way, Yeah, you all know it
can it can thunder and lightning in a snowstorm. It's
great and I've never I've never known that it would
have been great on TV. I never thought to think
of it. Yeah, But unfortunately it's going to Ford Field
(26:01):
in Detroit, so we miss out on it and I
would like to just point out here, I have the
weather pulled up, the up to date weather in Orchard Park,
right at the stadium for Sunday afternoon, one Eastern time.
You guys tell me if this is unplayable weather thirty
eight degrees occasional snow showers wins it ten to fifteen
(26:26):
mile chance of snow. But let's move it to Detroit
and let's ruin it for everybody involved. If I was
if I was a Bills fan there locally, I'd be
piste off right now. But is it because of the
thunder and lightning they screwed us? Who cares? No, that's
just what we're seeing a little bit now as the
storm rolls through. To Jonas's point, like the game time
(26:48):
will actually not be impacted by by any of the weather.
It's just everything leading up to that point. One of
the things I don't really understand about this, because the
NFL made this decision. Brian MacArthur's spokesperson came out publicly
stated like, hey, look, this isn't just about the weather.
It's about the safety and resources in Buffalo and the
(27:09):
surrounding area. We don't want to take away from that
or whatever well, that was what I was thinking to myself.
I'm like, hold on a second. We have so many
other instances where we have an event, let's just call
it what it is. It's it's entertainment, and we have
the potential of their being bad weather surrounding it, and
yet we never take this sort of I don't know,
(27:32):
action to to limit, like, Okay, now we don't want
fans going Georgia Park, Like that's not a first off,
that's not like a I mean, once you're there, you're
kind of there everyone. I mean, I don't I don't know.
I think this entire thing is a slap in the
face to anyone who's ever played football outside and cold
weather before. It really is. It makes no sense. It
(27:52):
takes away from, I think, one the home field advantage
of Buffalo, like that's part of like the coolness of
doing that too. I played in an awful, awful snow
game back when we were the Browns versus Buffalo back
in two thousand and eight, Like I recall what that
was like. Now, granted it change the dynamics of that
game we ended up having. I think we kicked two
(28:14):
field goals and a safety, but at the end of
the day, like it was still one of the coolest
experiences I'll ever remember. And I think they're just taking
away from what could be a fun experience for everyone
I think this season, and it almost makes you think
they want every single stadium to be a dome, Like
that's where this is going. They just want every stadium
(28:35):
to be a dome. So whether it doesn't impact any
of these games, and and I hate that, I hate
it with every ounce of my body. Man, the fact
that these fans don't get a home game, were they
able to watch their team play, what could be a
snowball be cool. Isn't part of the cool aspect of football?
The fact that you can't control everything, like it's just
you gotta just kind of deal with what you deal with.
(28:56):
In baseball, that's always yeah, like it just some of
it you can't control. But but in baseball, they'll move,
it'll rain, and they'll just kick a game back later
or something like that. Like for outdoor sporting events, football
is in one word. There was a mac game two
nights ago where it was it was snowing and they
were out there still playing and it was great entertainment.
(29:17):
The idea that I would argue, have you guys not
played in in in warm weather? That's more dangerous? And
what these guys are going to be playing in on
Sunday as far as cold weather goes? Would you put
it that way? Like that the chance of like heat
stroke lightning? Well, it's about lightning. What I should see
(29:41):
you this video? There's literally this guy talking outside and
there's there's like lightning, air and thundergoing. It's the way,
it's the weirdest thing, like I've never ever heard or
seen that before in my life. It's so what I do.
I can't say I've thought it. I can't say I've
ever heard of it. What's the closest lightning ever came
to an You are what? Every time I play football?
(30:04):
Lightning struck my guy? Yeah? Yeah? So wait, why are you?
Why are you scared of like I was scared of it.
I was just trying to figure it out. Snow lightning, lightning, snow?
Did you didn't catch you didn't catch what I said,
thunder saw? Yeah, I don't get that. I'm just being honest.
(30:25):
I can't I can't say I've ever paid attention to
being in a thunder snowstorm. Yeah, I don't know, but
I do know when warm weather meets cold weather and
what is it. The convection of it takes place up
there in the in the sky and that's what creates
those little pockets and boom, there you go. You have
thunder or you have lightning or whatever. I get all that.
(30:47):
I just never heard of thunder Snow, what a bummer.
It's unfortunate. But I was, I was lightning, you know,
I did strike, you know, just just so you know.
And Courtney, Courtney was was thunder and lightning too. So
it's like a lot of people say, it's like, oh,
thunder enlightening, Like now we were thunder and lightning the
(31:10):
same like it was both. You'd hear the lightning never
strikes the same spot twice, right, yeah, but we did.
Is that true? Lightning strikes the same place? You know?
Qu smart like that, you know he's got knowledge that's
just the same. Honestly, newsom So I'm not really sure
(31:31):
and getting great point because I was going to use
a different um example of how lightning could strike in
the same place, but it would have been totally inappropriate
for radio. Lightning struck my mom's car when we were younger, okay,
well you know no, you know those no, those little
intenna balls that sit on the top of the antennas.
A lightning bolt hit close by and fried that intenna ball.
(31:55):
How about that? Huh? Live to tell about it? Though?
You know what they didn't They moved the car to
another location like they did with the Bills and the
Browns game. No, no, no, you'd way to bring it back,
way to bring it back. Do you remember how easy
it was to change gears in those old cars. It's awesome,
right next to the wheel, just pull it right down.
So I was a kid. Is there any more stick
(32:18):
shift cars? Is there any more stick shift cars? Any Now?
What a waste of time? Who wants to stick shift?
I mean they're out there, it's just not I don't
know that they're You have to order them. As far
as being a manual, now always you wanted that one
of those things. But that was great too if you
didn't have the break on. You just pull the thing
next to the steer and we're moving close to the
(32:38):
driver less cars or like automatic driving cars. It's that
not like it's a stick shift. You're like more actively
involved in driving. You actually did have to pull the
break the emergency brake like it was like a what
like a imagine drive now with a manual car. My mom,
(33:00):
that takes talent. My mom got off to pick up
my brother from school and I was in the car
and I just pulled that thing where you got a hill.
Was so fun? That was that? Wasn't it like a handle?
Yeah it's right next to the wheel. Yeah, it's right
next to the I do remember that. Um, you're old,
Jonas guy dirt. You can see you didn't grow up
(33:23):
and where we grow up? Right, A real deal. It

the guys are here to bring you in case you

our executive producer lead Di Di Di Digital Lap Lap Guys.
In case you've missed it. We've talked a lot this
week about um field versus turf synthetic turf in the NFL.
(35:30):
Well MetLife Stadium has announced that they will change their
field in three It will not be grass, it will
be another artificial field. Currently, the field turf is one
of the slit film surface uh slit film surfaces in
the NFL. One of six. Good you know, LaVar is
sitting there calling everybody out for being soft. All right,
thank god for the safety of everyone involved. They're making
(35:51):
some changes in the NFL. Thank god. I wonder how
many of the other like five will fall suit, you know,
because they they it's all follow the leader now, I mean,
I mean pretty much like once one chooses to like,
what's one of the six is like, all right, this
probably isn't safe. Well, it's the best money to change it.
We know what else falls? So you're like, oh, you're cheap.
(36:13):
The Maris and and and the tissues do it, you know,
especially to Marri's that's that's a no G move. So
there you go. Somebody else is in that same realm,
they're going to have to do it. I mean, did
anybody complain this much when Jimmy Hoffa was buried at
Old Giant Stadium under the term bro the Vet Stadium?
Like some of these stadium surfaces that we played on
(36:36):
the door in our time. I mean, you know, but
whatever it is, what it is, alright. Got the old
astro turf? Yeah, I mean alright, go, well, like didn't
they have like in the Midwest when it gets really
when the weather gets crap, is it all grass or
even on some of the high school fields they have
astro turf and they almost saw it turf down. Yeah.
(36:58):
They have so many activities and things going on, they
literally it's hard to keep the grass growing. So yeah,
what else we got? Lee guys, the lucky fan who
caught Aaron Judge's record setting sixty second home run ball
turned down a three million dollar offer for the ball. Instead,
he's putting it up for auction. You mean the one
that set the Al record? Yes, correct, the Ale record.
(37:22):
I'm surprised for a three billion Yeah, and we just
won the m v PS and maybe the price is
shot up a little bit. That that a record, you know.
I mean, now, how and is this guy gonna feel
like an a hole if it goes up for auction?
Tells you wait, wait, wait, yeah, we don't want it
for three million. We'll give you an We'll give you
(37:44):
one more dollar you were offered and your wait what
did Ale? Yeah, he's gonna feel real dumb. Yeah, I mean, listen,
good for him. But did he catch the ball with
without a glove or with the glove, because if he
brought his glove to a game, he should have to
give up the ball and and actually be penalized. So
(38:05):
he caught it with a glove. Yeah, okay, so he's
a nerd, all right, So he should be deducted some
of the money he gets in return. I don't know
what Shard talking about him. He probably had his girlfriend
or his you know, his wife girlfriends while he wore
that glove. Yeah, when's the last time you guys brought
a glove to a game when I was five. I
(38:29):
don't think I've ever done that. Like, what are we
doing here? Uh? What else we got? Lee, guys? The
fieful World Cup begins this Sunday, and in case you've
missed it, there's been plenty of scandals, including hired paid
actors to represent fans, fans being uh paid for positive reviews,
(38:50):
sports washing. Now there's rumors of mac match fixing. I mean, listen,
billion dollars is going to be anticipated to be bet
on these games. Yeah, so I guess. In this report,
it says that Qutar bribed the Ecuadorian national team members
(39:11):
seven point four million to throw the tournament's opening match
on Sunday. Man, I can't wait to bet on this,
just to see what happens, just to see how bad
we get screwed over on this whole thing. Um, I mean,
you know, on this, to see how bad we get
screwed over? Yeah? Why not just throwing every reasoning? Bro? Sometimes,
(39:33):
like I worry about you sometimes, don't it? It's just fun?
You know? This feels like maybe we just shouldn't have
had the World Cup. That's that's why they're playing it
in November because the weather is so bad, but they
paid so much money under the table to get the event. Now,

I don't know if you guys know this or not,
but if you have a calendar, one of those old
school calendars, and you go through the days of the week,
(01:27):
you finally get to this day right before we head
into the weekend. And where I come from, people call
that a football Friday Friday. Yeah, Fridy Friday. Come on,
(01:47):
all right, football Friday. Rogers still hoppen down? Come on,
it is a football Friday for the next three hours.
And uh, I had a chance, in an opportunity to
break down the all twenty twos in that game last night,
and you feel about it, the stink it's over. They're
(02:16):
just not very good man. That's just the easiest way
to put it. Brady. I think, Uh, why couldn't you
been more forceful trying to talk me out of Packers
Mitus three before the game started. I feel like, that's
on you. Yeah, probably, And I did take Tennessee plus three,
so I'm not sure that. Let's tell you about that one. Um,
(02:39):
it was weird. Was like towards the end of the game,
when the Titans were up, there were showing like a
highlight package of well the Packers have stopped to run tonight.
You're like, yeah, they don't attend though, like and and
I don't know, it was it was interesting watching that
game just because you felt like Tennessee out the gate
had control, and it reminded you that last week, Look,
(03:01):
the Packers beat the Dallas Cowboys team which it took
a while, wasn't like they dominated that game by any means.
And there's a lot of mistakes, and I think, look,
I think the best I think the betting public or
and a lot of the books probably got all of
us to be like, Nope, that's it, that's the game.
The Packers are back on track again, and that's just
(03:21):
not the case. They're just not a very it's not
a very good football team. The other way to put
it right, there is no other way to put it.
And and while you can say it could be considered
to be a win, that that Derrick Henry didn't have
a game where he obliterated them. And I think we
kind of touched on that yesterday, like he has those
(03:43):
type of games where he's just not as effective as
as they would need him to be. But he was
still effective. Like he he wasn't he wasn't far from
a hundred. They were loading up to stop the run.
They used it against him. Right, you did you do
a trick play? He gets a t D pass. Uh.
(04:06):
He was efficient and effective in his ability to move
the ball. They got him the ball in the flare.
I mean, you still have to stop Derrick Henry. If
you stop Derrick Henry, you can beat this team. And
they still were unable to do so. And and twenty
(04:27):
seven points, really, I mean, would we consider that a
whole lot of points. I wouldn't think that's a whole
lot of points. It's the most they've scored all year.
Tennesseeson hasn't scored that many all year, which is crazy
because that's not a whole Twenty seven points is not
a knockdown, blow you out type of score. So you
would think with Aaron Rodgers as your quarterback, twenty seven
(04:52):
points is is a surmountable amount of points to be
able to to get more than It's just like like
you guys are saying, I mean and and and for
the first time for me this season, you know what
I can say. I can say green Bay isn't good
and Aaron, Aaron Rodgers is not. He has not excluded
from the not good. He's not good right now. And
(05:16):
and for whatever reason anybody want to give, maybe it
is his receivers, maybe it is the play calling. You know,
from from my perspective, he had mrs. He had things
he could have done better. He had decisions he could
have made that could have been better. He had MRS.
And it's not that Aaron Rodgers. We've grown accustomed to
see and get an m v P two years in
(05:37):
a row. If I would have told you guys before
the game, right, here's what's gonna happen. Tennessee is gonna
lose the turnover battle and Derrick Henry is gonna be
held under ninety yards on a short week on the road,
you would have thought, oh, well, green Bay is gonna
run away with this. To Brady's point, I never felt
like Tennessee was in or like green Bay was in
that game, like legitimately in that game from the start,
(05:58):
it was like, oh, it's just gonna be how it is.
And Ryan Tannehill played, you know, maybe might have made
a mistake on that interception. Uh yeah, I just like
that's what I can't figure out, like what happened. And
then the total disrespect right before the two minute warning
(06:20):
in the fourth quarter where everyone thinks, all right, they're
just gonna run the ball out and they're gonna go ahead,
and uh and and just you know, grind the clock,
and then they do play action and throw deep on
Alexander to Trey Burke's and end up picking up a
first down and then just kneel it. It was like,
we have no respect for your past defense. We have
no respect for you period. We're just gonna throw on
(06:42):
you when everything should tell us, don't throw the ball,
grind the clock out and down it. And they just
didn't care. There was no regard for for anybody there
in Green Bay. And I don't know when the last
time the Packers have been booted at home, but they
got their asses bood going into half and I don't
know when the last time that's actually happened. So not
a not not a great performance overall. I was gonna say,
(07:04):
outside of that one interception by Tannehill, he I mean,
he really did every third out. I felt like he
was converting, he was moving the sticks. He made throws
when they needed to be made. He threw balls away
that weren't there. I mean it was they were abiding
to you that he's been one of the more successful
quarterbacks since he's got in Tennessee. Statistically, I mean, look
(07:26):
at all his numbers. I mean he's he's the most
prolific pass for the most wins since he's gotten to Tennessee.
He's up there with some of the best in the
game in that period of time as far as wins
go and passing yard, etcetera. Like, he's been better than
people give him credit. And we all look at Saal,
it's Derrick Henry, or it's it's Mike Vrabel. He got
Coach of the Year last year. Bryan Tannehill has played
(07:47):
a part in all of this too in the regular season.
The problem with him is he's played so bad in
the postseason it makes you forget how good he's been
in the regular season. You know, another thing that should
be in it out is a Aaron Jones was the
player that we pointed out that needed to be a
key role in them being able to to staying drives
(08:12):
to actually make things work. Um, fifty six fifty six
rushing yards. I think he only had forty. As a team,
they had fifty six. Okay, Aaron, Aaron Jones had forty
yards rushing. It's it's it's It's like you had two
(08:34):
game plans going into this game. Stop Derrick Henry, stop
stop Aaron Jones. And who would ever thought to say
stop Aaron Jones. Not stop Aaron Rodgers, but stop Aaron
Aaron Jones. You forced Aaron Rodgers to have to do
it with what the receivers with Lazar with you know,
with Watson, with with those guys at Watson isn't not Watson, Yeah, yeah,
(08:58):
it is, yeah, you know in Cleveland. Okay, I just
I get a weird little vibe when I say, um,
I just I think that that is a sign of
the times. And I just wonder knowing that, Okay, the
Tennessee defense needed to achieve an objective and they did
(09:23):
and that showed in the outcome of the game. It
just it just begs the question. Now as a coach.
How good is Matt Lafleur. That has to be now
the question that begins to be the focus. He had
better show that he's a better coach, because right now
(09:44):
this looks like a team that you said, you know what,
we have road Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers has covered up
all ills and they've come up short, but they still
look like they're on that cusp of going back to
the super Bowl because they've been very close. They just
have not been able to win the big games. And
(10:05):
now they've taken a tremendous step back steps plural backwards.
You gotta now hold the hit coach, the leadership accountable
for how this team looks. Well, you're definitely oh sorry,
I was gonna say you could definitely hold him accountable
for the lack of touches Barren Jones. I mean he
(10:26):
had twenty four rushes the previous game versus Dallas. That
was a formula where when you look at his total
yardage too in that game, but what was it close
to hundred yards whatever it was. That was what really
I think they needed to do in this matchup. Run
the football, the go, go, highlights your best player and
even though Christian Watson had another a couple of touchdown catches.
(10:47):
I mean, they're there. Passing game just is not consistent enough.
And and the one thing they should be able to
rely on is Aaron Jones, who is their best player,
so give him the football more. I mean, I know,
at no point this game Green Bay ever had a lead.
I mean literally out the gate, like they just they
never had a lead. They really, I mean they were
in it the first half, um and really the second
(11:11):
half two and they brought up within the three point
game and to the fourth quarter. But you know, they
they didn't have to get a role away from the
running game. They really didn't need to, but they but
they did in part because I think it's just not
in the in Aaron Rodgers DNA the way the last
two years have gone with him win an MVP. I
think he really thinks that like in any given game,
like it's just gonna flip a switch and they're gonna
(11:31):
start throwing the football over the place, and that's just
not what this team is anymore. So I don't know
if it's so much Matt lafleur or to disconnect with
Rogers and what he thinks their offense is or he is,
but really ultimately what they need to do in order
to win. And I think right now, it's not through
there with his arm, it's it's a it's Aaron Jones
running the football. It's probably limiting the amount of snaps
(11:53):
that defense's And that's one of the toughest things to
realize as a quarterback, is you know, limiting the amount
snaps that are taken in the game. Yeah, it hurts you,
but it might hurt the other team more. And that's
what rap because the defense hasn't played well for Green Bay.
How many coaches would you, guys take right now over
Mike Rabel or how many coaches do you rather play
(12:14):
for than Mike Rabel right now in the NFL? If
you had to say, rather play for, I mean he's
on He's on the list of coaches you would want
to play for. But that that that would be the
best way answering it for me, Like I would love
to play for Andy Reid, I would love to play
for Mike Tomlin. Um hell, I probably would love to
play for Pete Carroll. He would be high on my list.
(12:37):
Like there there are coaches that that definitely have a
a factor about them that sets them apart. And I
mean I sent you all, I told you he's the
he's the meat here, he won meat and go to
the meat heads. I mean, I sent you all the
video last night. I mean his handshake with with d
Henry on the sideline. I mean, there's a few coaches
(12:58):
that are are really one of us. He's one of
the coaches that are one of us. Like he's he's
literally one of us. He's coaching. But he's like Dan Campbell,
he's one of us, you know what I mean. Like
he's not like a former player that coaches and you
can't really relate to him like ah, he's an old
school or he doesn't really he's removed or detached, like
(13:21):
he's he's not a guy that never played the game
at a high level, like Mike Vrabel can flex on
you as a player like oh yeah, oh you think
you know it all? Coach, You're thinking, all, okay, yeah,
I do know some of all of it. Like take that, like,
here's my my accolades, here's my resume, Like, oh damn,
you did do that day. So it's Jeff Saturday the
(13:43):
next Mike Rebel, Yes, yes, yeah, he is he is
the next, he is the next Mike Vrabel. I think
Jeff Saturday is gonna make I just think I'm just
I'm over the top, make I want him. I wanted
to work. I just wanted to work. You're out of here,
You're though, you are when they when they expand to Europe,
(14:10):
You're gone. Yeah I was. I was racially lamb based
it by my own race of people over liking Jeff
Saturday as a coach. I don't really need all that pressure.
I just I just want to see I just want
to see succeed. That's really all that. Yeah. Great point.
Great point. It is two pros and a couple of jones,

are stupid. I would have to walk out if I
walked into a hotel and this was playing Stacked and jacked,
step and turn right back around, walk out first. I
(16:00):
wasn't able to get to Waco. I'm in Dallas right now. Really,
how far is that drive? Catch that? And that it's
fun little drive? Yeah, but you know an hour and
a half elsewhere, not in southern California. Is a lot different.
(16:23):
I think it was an hour and a half from
the Louisville Airport Lexington and it was great, scenic, you know,
a lot of farmhouses. It was awesome. An hour and
a half in l A is miserable. I'd rather get
out and walk and then and then walk into a
car afterwards. Just miserable the whole way through. So brother,
walk into a car afterwards. Oh yeah, it's like ninety
(16:45):
minutes of traffic in l A. Is disgusting. It's it's
just gross. It's the worst anywhere. I don't want to
hear anybody try and compare any other part of the country.
They don't know what it's like on the mean streets
of southern California. I have to agree with you on that. Man,
it's brutal. It's I'd have to agree man. Parking lots,
(17:07):
it does feel like y'all just have parking lots. When
you trive like you don't the highway, you know it's
gonna be bad. It is bad. It's always bad. Yeah,
it sucks, and then you just always wonder, like who
is in front of this? Like all you have to
do is drive the speed limit, at least the speed
limit and we want to just all keep moving. But
I will say this, and you know, shouts out to
(17:30):
our our our service members. I'm not I'm not you know,
I'm not. I'm not trying to like attack anyone. I
didn't hear what you say. Would you say? Would you say,
Berto say to my hair burdo? Oh yeah, I mean hey,
But I'll tell you what. Why does the why does
(17:55):
the highway? Why does the highway patrol create traffic dams? Oh?
Where they do? That? Was winding? They wand across? Yeah,
I mean why did they do that to like slow
things up so it's not so congested to you that
or something's on the road. And so I understand when
there's something on the road, but I've seen them do
that exercise. It's the breaking traffic. They just they just
(18:19):
stopped the traffic. They slow they create a traffic jam.
I had a cop get pissed at me one time
because I didn't understand what he was doing. So yeah,
I just kept going and the guy's like, he pulls
me over and he goes, what are you doing? I
don't know? What are you doing? I don't know? So
he followed because I was I was about to do
that one, I was gonna I was just gonna screw
this cop. Okay. So like when when a cop to
(18:42):
break traffic, they'll start weaving back and forth between lanes
the highway. Yeah, they turn their lights also across every
single lane because traffic traffic will be so bad that
they figure if they can create a little bit of
a gap in the highway, then at least it'll give
the cars front time to get away and it'll separate
the traffic. Yeah, but the cars be so imagine you're
(19:08):
on a highway and normal flow. It's normal flow, but
it's it's normal flow, but it's approaching a bad situation
with gridlock. And so to alleviate that, what they'll do
is they'll stop everybody. They'll send a c HP or
a chippy as they call them, onto the freeway and
they'll weave in and out of the lanes and everybody,
(19:29):
and it creates a separation between that group of cars
and the cars in front of them. Let's say it correctly,
that group of of a traffic jam. Yes, and now
you've created another traffic jams. So that's so the thought is,
if we can separate the two groups, at least we
create a little separation, maybe some of those cars in front.
We'll get off the freeway and open up the roads
a little bit. So we don't have to worry about
(19:50):
that in South Florida because we just have normal, like
crazy people who do that on their own without the
lights on everything. So they'll they'll they'll figure out a
way of doing something that as you go, oh, I'm
gonna slow down and get away from now. It's happened
to me at night while I'm coming into work and
they do it to stop the traffic. Is the caltrans
the guys that work on the highway are are gonna
(20:11):
are gonna work on something, stop stopped. I've never heard
of this. I was about to go past him. I
was pulled me over and he's like, he's like, what
are you doing? I said him, well, what are you doing? Okay,
let I ain gonna do that. I didn't understand it,
but apparently that works. I guess I did have it
done for me one time though, because my I blew
(20:32):
a tire out, so they and he did that to
stop the traffic. He recognized you, no, no, I was
in a bad spot on that that that that freeway. Yeah,
do that, Yeah, I could have been hit, like it
could have. My car definitely was was in danger of
getting hit. So yeah, he diverted to traffic. And I
can get that, but sometimes I see him do it.
(20:54):
There's nothing going on out there. Man. I was gonna say,
like when when Jonas said, like, oh I what are
you doing? I see that guy that hit me? Right,
he'd be the guy that hit me though. I remember
one time I was I was driving in a I
guess more of an acquaintances his car, and he had
a really nice car. He lived in a really nice house.
(21:15):
I didn't really know. He was a friend of a friend.
I didn't really know like what he did or how
he made his money. And I was driving his car
I'll never forget in Scottsdale, and I was I wasn't
driving overly fast, but I wasn't really sure where I
was at. But I had this car. I was at night.
I had this car like come up quick on my bumper.
I like, what in the hell, why is this car
like on my on my butt? So bad? And so
(21:36):
then I started like speed up a little bit, and
like I stayed on and like his his car was
superintended right, like I couldn't see really that well out
of anything. It probably should be illegal, but uh so
I then I started floor it. And so I'm flying
now trying to get back to this to this guy's house,
and I'm thinking myself, like, dude, what's this guy into,
Like how does he make his money? Like I am
(21:57):
I in some sort of like I'm stone trying to
chase me down down. Apparently they flipped the lights on,
and honestly, it was so tinted I could it was
an unmarked car, and it was so tinted I could
barely see the lights out of like the rear of
your beer. The cop pulls me. He was like, what
in the hell are you doing? I go, I don't
know what the hell are you doing. I was like,
I was like, you came up on me. I was like,
and I didn't. I don't know why. You're like, you'll
(22:19):
follow me that close? And he's like, well, you know,
I can I see the vices registration, Like this isn't
my car. I was like, it's it's a buddy's here
you go, this is where it's at. But he was
like baffled. He came back. He just I don't understand
why you were driving so fast? I go, I don't
understand why you were driving so fast? Your ask and
then at one point he was just like, I'm just
(22:40):
gonna give you a warning, like we basically can't. I
kept questioning him, and he came to the point where
like he couldn't really explain why he just didn't turn
his lights on in the first place, like he had
no explanation to it. It's uh, well, but should be
noted we appreciate everything that yeah, pe do everything, but
(23:01):
but absolutely our great men of service, that women of service,
absolutely our first responders. All though, it's a great point,
and you know what to show our appreciation, fellas, it's
time to stop treating your groins like junk. Introducing the
Gillette Intimate Pubic hair Trimmer. It's a gentle and easy
shade from America's number one trusted men's grooming brand. Show
your pubic region some respect with you Lette Intimate. The
(23:23):
best demand can get. It is two pros. And because
if you're not respecting, you're you're being disrespectful. Has this
been something that cops out there have always been in
californ Was that just like a Gavin newsomething like, well, no,
I think um, I think Gavin Newsom wants him to
wear masks. That's the only difference. So you just got
to be clear on on which, you know, what the
direction is in the directive from from the Great Governor
(23:46):
is you know out here, It's gonna be clear on
that which, by the way, that is being recommended now
in l A County again, indoor masks being recommended. Just
so so that's back everybody, so happy holidays. Was that
ever not recommended? Where you go? Hey, did you guys
see the video? Did you guys see the video of
the guy that was on the elevator? He is, I go, oh,
(24:08):
you got a mask, don't you? And the guy goes, yeah,
why do you have something? And he pulled down his
ski mask. Yeah, but actually I do have a mask.
You know what do you have want to see? You know?
The Arranton family after the other morning when Lavark came home,
(24:28):
they were all wearing masks. Yeah, they needed mask. In fact,
when I got up this morning, they needed a mask.
I made some ribs yesterday, guys, and I made some
I made a deep dish pan of of block cheese
mac and cheese with with corn bread. Yeah, yeah, I
(24:56):
got kind of interesting. And broccoli by the way, yeah real,
it got real when I woke up this that that's
gonna stay around for a while. I got news for you.
If it smelled like what it smelled when I dished
it versus when I was about to eat it, I
wouldn't ate it. Yeah, I would not have ad it.
(25:17):
But it actually smelled good. It was. It was good.
You know, it was really good, guys. It was. Yeah,
it was. I'm proud of myself. Well, um, let me
tell you what's not good here on two pros and
a cup of Joe. What's not good? What the NFL
did yesterday to all of us. We had an opportunity
to watch an epic snow game this weekend, Brown's Bills
(25:39):
in Orchard Park. We're talking it was a thunder snow
they're calling it. And you see some of the videos
of that, by the way, Yeah, you all know it
can it can thunder and lightning in a snowstorm. It's
great and I've never I've never known that it would
have been great on TV. I never thought to think
of it. Yeah, But unfortunately it's going to Ford Field
(26:01):
in Detroit, so we miss out on it and I
would like to just point out here, I have the
weather pulled up, the up to date weather in Orchard Park,
right at the stadium for Sunday afternoon, one Eastern time.
You guys tell me if this is unplayable weather thirty
eight degrees occasional snow showers wins it ten to fifteen
(26:26):
mile chance of snow. But let's move it to Detroit
and let's ruin it for everybody involved. If I was
if I was a Bills fan there locally, I'd be
piste off right now. But is it because of the
thunder and lightning they screwed us? Who cares? No, that's
just what we're seeing a little bit now as the
storm rolls through. To Jonas's point, like the game time
(26:48):
will actually not be impacted by by any of the weather.
It's just everything leading up to that point. One of
the things I don't really understand about this, because the
NFL made this decision. Brian MacArthur's spokesperson came out publicly
stated like, hey, look, this isn't just about the weather.
It's about the safety and resources in Buffalo and the
(27:09):
surrounding area. We don't want to take away from that
or whatever well, that was what I was thinking to myself.
I'm like, hold on a second. We have so many
other instances where we have an event, let's just call
it what it is. It's it's entertainment, and we have
the potential of their being bad weather surrounding it, and
yet we never take this sort of I don't know,
(27:32):
action to to limit, like, Okay, now we don't want
fans going Georgia Park, Like that's not a first off,
that's not like a I mean, once you're there, you're
kind of there everyone. I mean, I don't I don't know.
I think this entire thing is a slap in the
face to anyone who's ever played football outside and cold
weather before. It really is. It makes no sense. It
(27:52):
takes away from, I think, one the home field advantage
of Buffalo, like that's part of like the coolness of
doing that too. I played in an awful, awful snow
game back when we were the Browns versus Buffalo back
in two thousand and eight, Like I recall what that
was like. Now, granted it change the dynamics of that
game we ended up having. I think we kicked two
(28:14):
field goals and a safety, but at the end of
the day, like it was still one of the coolest
experiences I'll ever remember. And I think they're just taking
away from what could be a fun experience for everyone
I think this season, and it almost makes you think
they want every single stadium to be a dome, Like
that's where this is going. They just want every stadium
(28:35):
to be a dome. So whether it doesn't impact any
of these games, and and I hate that, I hate
it with every ounce of my body. Man, the fact
that these fans don't get a home game, were they
able to watch their team play, what could be a
snowball be cool. Isn't part of the cool aspect of football?
The fact that you can't control everything, like it's just
you gotta just kind of deal with what you deal with.
(28:56):
In baseball, that's always yeah, like it just some of
it you can't control. But but in baseball, they'll move,
it'll rain, and they'll just kick a game back later
or something like that. Like for outdoor sporting events, football
is in one word. There was a mac game two
nights ago where it was it was snowing and they
were out there still playing and it was great entertainment.
(29:17):
The idea that I would argue, have you guys not
played in in in warm weather? That's more dangerous? And
what these guys are going to be playing in on
Sunday as far as cold weather goes? Would you put
it that way? Like that the chance of like heat
stroke lightning? Well, it's about lightning. What I should see
(29:41):
you this video? There's literally this guy talking outside and
there's there's like lightning, air and thundergoing. It's the way,
it's the weirdest thing, like I've never ever heard or
seen that before in my life. It's so what I do.
I can't say I've thought it. I can't say I've
ever heard of it. What's the closest lightning ever came
to an You are what? Every time I play football?
(30:04):
Lightning struck my guy? Yeah? Yeah? So wait, why are you?
Why are you scared of like I was scared of it.
I was just trying to figure it out. Snow lightning, lightning, snow?
Did you didn't catch you didn't catch what I said,
thunder saw? Yeah, I don't get that. I'm just being honest.
(30:25):
I can't I can't say I've ever paid attention to
being in a thunder snowstorm. Yeah, I don't know, but
I do know when warm weather meets cold weather and
what is it. The convection of it takes place up
there in the in the sky and that's what creates
those little pockets and boom, there you go. You have
thunder or you have lightning or whatever. I get all that.
(30:47):
I just never heard of thunder Snow, what a bummer.
It's unfortunate. But I was, I was lightning, you know,
I did strike, you know, just just so you know.
And Courtney, Courtney was was thunder and lightning too. So
it's like a lot of people say, it's like, oh,
thunder enlightening, Like now we were thunder and lightning the
(31:10):
same like it was both. You'd hear the lightning never
strikes the same spot twice, right, yeah, but we did.
Is that true? Lightning strikes the same place? You know?
Qu smart like that, you know he's got knowledge that's
just the same. Honestly, newsom So I'm not really sure
(31:31):
and getting great point because I was going to use
a different um example of how lightning could strike in
the same place, but it would have been totally inappropriate
for radio. Lightning struck my mom's car when we were younger, okay,
well you know no, you know those no, those little
intenna balls that sit on the top of the antennas.
A lightning bolt hit close by and fried that intenna ball.
(31:55):
How about that? Huh? Live to tell about it? Though?
You know what they didn't They moved the car to
another location like they did with the Bills and the
Browns game. No, no, no, you'd way to bring it back,
way to bring it back. Do you remember how easy
it was to change gears in those old cars. It's awesome,
right next to the wheel, just pull it right down.
So I was a kid. Is there any more stick
(32:18):
shift cars? Is there any more stick shift cars? Any Now?
What a waste of time? Who wants to stick shift?
I mean they're out there, it's just not I don't
know that they're You have to order them. As far
as being a manual, now always you wanted that one
of those things. But that was great too if you
didn't have the break on. You just pull the thing
next to the steer and we're moving close to the
(32:38):
driver less cars or like automatic driving cars. It's that
not like it's a stick shift. You're like more actively
involved in driving. You actually did have to pull the
break the emergency brake like it was like a what
like a imagine drive now with a manual car. My mom,
(33:00):
that takes talent. My mom got off to pick up
my brother from school and I was in the car
and I just pulled that thing where you got a hill.
Was so fun? That was that? Wasn't it like a handle?
Yeah it's right next to the wheel. Yeah, it's right
next to the I do remember that. Um, you're old,
Jonas guy dirt. You can see you didn't grow up
(33:23):
and where we grow up? Right, A real deal. It

the guys are here to bring you in case you

our executive producer lead Di Di Di Digital Lap Lap Guys.
In case you've missed it. We've talked a lot this
week about um field versus turf synthetic turf in the NFL.
(35:30):
Well MetLife Stadium has announced that they will change their
field in three It will not be grass, it will
be another artificial field. Currently, the field turf is one
of the slit film surface uh slit film surfaces in
the NFL. One of six. Good you know, LaVar is
sitting there calling everybody out for being soft. All right,
thank god for the safety of everyone involved. They're making
(35:51):
some changes in the NFL. Thank god. I wonder how
many of the other like five will fall suit, you know,
because they they it's all follow the leader now, I mean,
I mean pretty much like once one chooses to like,
what's one of the six is like, all right, this
probably isn't safe. Well, it's the best money to change it.
We know what else falls? So you're like, oh, you're cheap.
(36:13):
The Maris and and and the tissues do it, you know,
especially to Marri's that's that's a no G move. So
there you go. Somebody else is in that same realm,
they're going to have to do it. I mean, did
anybody complain this much when Jimmy Hoffa was buried at
Old Giant Stadium under the term bro the Vet Stadium?
Like some of these stadium surfaces that we played on
(36:36):
the door in our time. I mean, you know, but
whatever it is, what it is, alright. Got the old
astro turf? Yeah, I mean alright, go, well, like didn't
they have like in the Midwest when it gets really
when the weather gets crap, is it all grass or
even on some of the high school fields they have
astro turf and they almost saw it turf down. Yeah.
(36:58):
They have so many activities and things going on, they
literally it's hard to keep the grass growing. So yeah,
what else we got? Lee guys, the lucky fan who
caught Aaron Judge's record setting sixty second home run ball
turned down a three million dollar offer for the ball. Instead,
he's putting it up for auction. You mean the one
that set the Al record? Yes, correct, the Ale record.
(37:22):
I'm surprised for a three billion Yeah, and we just
won the m v PS and maybe the price is
shot up a little bit. That that a record, you know.
I mean, now, how and is this guy gonna feel
like an a hole if it goes up for auction?
Tells you wait, wait, wait, yeah, we don't want it
for three million. We'll give you an We'll give you
(37:44):
one more dollar you were offered and your wait what
did Ale? Yeah, he's gonna feel real dumb. Yeah, I mean, listen,
good for him. But did he catch the ball with
without a glove or with the glove, because if he
brought his glove to a game, he should have to
give up the ball and and actually be penalized. So
(38:05):
he caught it with a glove. Yeah, okay, so he's
a nerd, all right, So he should be deducted some
of the money he gets in return. I don't know
what Shard talking about him. He probably had his girlfriend
or his you know, his wife girlfriends while he wore
that glove. Yeah, when's the last time you guys brought
a glove to a game when I was five. I
(38:29):
don't think I've ever done that. Like, what are we
doing here? Uh? What else we got? Lee, guys? The
fieful World Cup begins this Sunday, and in case you've
missed it, there's been plenty of scandals, including hired paid
actors to represent fans, fans being uh paid for positive reviews,
(38:50):
sports washing. Now there's rumors of mac match fixing. I mean, listen,
billion dollars is going to be anticipated to be bet
on these games. Yeah, so I guess. In this report,
it says that Qutar bribed the Ecuadorian national team members
(39:11):
seven point four million to throw the tournament's opening match
on Sunday. Man, I can't wait to bet on this,
just to see what happens, just to see how bad
we get screwed over on this whole thing. Um, I mean,
you know, on this, to see how bad we get
screwed over? Yeah? Why not just throwing every reasoning? Bro? Sometimes,
(39:33):
like I worry about you sometimes, don't it? It's just fun?
You know? This feels like maybe we just shouldn't have
had the World Cup. That's that's why they're playing it
in November because the weather is so bad, but they
paid so much money under the table to get the event. Now,
have you guys seen some of the places people are staying,
