Hart while on stage they're celebrating raising the trophy. Sure

Like guys joke around and play around. I mean personally,

a pointer like what it's got to be a manly
(03:00):
gesture in that moment.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Strange man, oh though, brou like.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
In the moment, what would make you think like haha,
this is gonna be funny, like let me drinking.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
He wasn't even in the back of the group. He's
standing at the.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Front, right, Yeah, be a little more discreet about it, seriously,
like full.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Thumb up too, Like what are you weren't even trying
to hide it?
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Full up?
Speaker 2 (03:22):
I mean it was.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
It was a full thumb up, full salute. The thumb
was full, yeah.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
Not the full salute salute thumb thumb had some blue
shoe up in it.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Eh man.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Hey, but I will say this Jalen turned around like like,
I'm gonna be about that business like I adn't like
that at all, like it.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Unless he was saying not in front of everybody, but yeah,
I'm gonna assume me.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
I'm gonna assume. Yeah, I'm not gonna go with the
night in front of everybody.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Now.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
I would like to also point out we mentioned Bferoni
do they ever expire? And a gentleman Bob did send
in a screenshot of his Bferoni can October nineteenth, twenty
twenty six.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Ok nic, those things stick around a while. So you
got I mean from window, when did he get it?
How long did it last?
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Yeah? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
I mean it looks like it's it's been in there
a while, like just based on the so he's got
a whole nother year with it, Like.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
What do you think happens?
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Do you think Patrick Mahomes is back before that Beeferoni
kick spires? October nineteen, twenty twenty six. I put you
in about week seven, stupid.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
I'm just saying, Oh, guys, okay, Chef boy Ard has
a manufacturing thing that says it lasts about seven hundred
and twenty days.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Well that's over two years. Yeah, over two years. Yeah, Hey,
I've had worse.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
And be clear, if we were like in a nuclear
situation where you got to go down under upper ground,
I'm eating it expire hundred percent with.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
A grilled cheese.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Yeah, made with an iron or or saving the raviolios.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Man, it is one of the easiest, most satisfying meals
that you could ever make.
Speaker 6 (05:13):
Yes, why you say like that, I'm just still skeptical
about dipping my I don't understand.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
I am so mystified at the fact that you're not
up on a meal like that.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
She's got a she's got a tower of quest bars
that were sent in by one of those weird.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
I mean, but there was a time where she wasn't
spoilt because of her status.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
I was ridden child, and I ate lots and lots
of chef boy already, and I did have that.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Did you have bread? Yeah? Did you have some butter?
But we dipped our girl cheese and ketchup? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
You off, You're off, y'all was off in that house.
That's a little bit off. You touched, you cousbag folks.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
You did so? You did? You did?
Speaker 3 (05:54):
You did ketch up French fries? Or ketchup, potato chips
and grilled cheese.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Just the grilled cheese, no sides, poverty, No, it was
whitebread and American cheese slice with a big old glob
of ketchup.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
It's good.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
I mean, I don't know that. I feel like Chef
Boyard falls in every category of earning.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Earning. You could be broke as a joke.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Ye.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Now, what I will say is the block cheese. If
you know about government cheese, you come from a certain
place and you know about government cheese, Block cheese made
the best grilled cheese, sandwiches and mac and cheese. And
if you know, you know, if you out there and
you just heard that, you're shaking your head, you're nodding
(06:44):
your head. You're like, government cheese made the best best
grilled cheeses and mac and cheese. I mean, obviously the
person making the mac and cheese had to know how
to make mac and cheese, but that was the best.
My Nana's mac and cheese was the best mac and
cheese I've ever head my entire life.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Oh it's good that cheese. Blocked cheese.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Baby man cut off the hard parts, you know, and
and have at it.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
You know, what my dad's go to was. I probably
we're gonna get back on sports. I swear to god.
We did tie in a Patrick Mahomes injury recovery reference though,
so we paid the bills. But my dad's go to
saltine crackers.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
And cheese slices. He could eat.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
He could eat a sleeve of saltines with cheese slices
and and just be totally.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
I used to be able to go through a Jiff
or the peter Pan because I like, for some reason
when I was growing up, I liked the peter Pan
peanut butter.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Because there was like it was nutty. It was like
about the lid too. The lid was different, but.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
It was like nutty, Like it was more nutty than Jeff.
Jeff was more like smooth. I like, like like I
like nuts in my my Eminem's I liked. I liked
nutty peanut butter. So I do like knocked them rits,
(08:07):
the rits the round, Oh yeah, yeah, and I go
through them or Manor or the Goobers did where you
had in there. Yeah, you had to mix jelly and
peanut butter in there and put it on like a ritz.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Them yellow the yellow ones that around. Oh man, come on,
that was a vibe. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I don't ever hear anybody say it's nothing to eat. Yes,
there is always something to eat.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Your imagination always something to eat. So uh, speaking of eating.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Put your fingers in the microwave, and I'm telling you
what you got. You got nine left to go. You
get you a little get your little finger, that's right.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Jerry Jones was on the fan in Dallas and uh,
if you were wondering whether or not based on the
Cowboys being uh, you know what looks to be uh.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Done this year.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
If you were wondering whether or not the Dallas Cowboys,
we're going to be tanking to finish out the year.
Jerry feels differently, but.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
Win is very very important in the NFL, and win
is important to me, and win does a lot of
positive things. I don't care when it happens. And we've
got we owe it to that mirror, and we owe
it certainly to our fans that we want to walk
(09:28):
out there and be competitive. We will not try for
a draft position, we won't be looking at anything like that.
We'll be out there playing football and we'll bring them
to play. So that's a long winded way of saying,
we'll play football under whatever the circumstances are, so well,
(09:48):
good for him.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Yeah, Like that's so much easier conversation I have than
the one winning the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Yeah, but I mean this is this is just where
they are and it's where they're going to be, and
people can get fired up about a win here or
win there and be like, oh man, listen, you know
they're way better than we thought. All right, But like
if you're looking at the Dallas Cowboys this year, I
think I think the takeaway this season with Dallas is
going to be, you know what, they competed and were
(10:18):
a little bit better.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Than we thought they'd be.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
You know, like like the Dallas Cowboys actually actually turned
things around it and they're sub five hundred, So like
this is just that they didn't turn things around. Okay,
but it just appears that. But you trade away Micah Parsons.
They got buried for it, as they should have. The
Mike McCarthy conversations after the season about him being back
(10:40):
as head coach. They butchered that. That's why they had
to go with Brian Schottenheimer. Like you looked at it
and you said, you know, Hey, listen, their offense looks fun.
They hire Matt Eberflus as a defensive coordinator. I don't
think it's any coincidence that, you know, JJ McCarthy's best
game of the year was against Matt Eberflus and the
Dallas Cowboys defense. But they are perpetually in no man's land.
(11:04):
They're not a serious contender. They're not going to be
a serious contender.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Ain't gonna be like your owner, ain't it? Yah, ain't
gonna be it? Are you done? What you mean?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Am I done? You know, fat Daddy?
Speaker 5 (11:18):
I just I.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Go, well, yeah, of course they're not gonna tank.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
They're just going to They're gonna be in no man's
land for the foreseeable future. And that's just the way
it's gonna be. Because look, and there's a discussion we
had about you know, Jade and Daniels that we're gonna
get into. But Washington feels like they're, you know, outside
of this year, they're on the rise. The Giants, who
the hell knows, you know, they're gonna be hiring a
new head coach. We've seen new coaches take over teams
(11:47):
and and bring them into prominence and bring them into
contention in less than a year.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Mike Rabel, Ben Johnson.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
I just look at the Cowboys and I go, yeah,
there's gonna be interesting storylines that are attached to them
because Jerry says two interviews a week and he makes,
you know, rash decisions like trading Michael Parsons, and there's
gonna be a lot of coverage of the team. But
the idea that this is ever going to be anything
other than just sort of a mediocre middle of the
(12:14):
pack ten maybe eleven wins at best and a one
and done or you know, maybe a second round appearance
in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
That's just what it's going to be.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Yeah, moving forward, Jerry Jones had his Mike Vrabel and
Jason Garrett.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
I believe that.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
He had his opportunity with Jason Garrett, and you know what,
maybe he knew it too, and that's why he held
on for so long. And that ship has floated away.
It's departed port, it's no longer there. So you were
a Jason Garrett guy. I'm not a Jason Garrett guy.
I think he's a Jason Garrett brought to the table
(12:54):
a respect factor with Jerry Jones because that was one
of his players. I always thought that he was underrated
as a coach. I mean, he was a fine coach
and he took them pretty far. I think he had
some really, really you know, strong years with the Dallas Cowboys,
and I think that that was his opportunity to have
(13:17):
a winner, and they didn't get it done. I do
not think they get it done with Brian Schottenheimer. I
do not think that they would have got it done
with Mike McCarthy.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
I just don't.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
I don't see Jerry Jones and the Jones family having
enough restraint to allow for the coach to do what
he needs to do in every single situation and circumstance
that surrounds the team, and the culture is established. So
(13:48):
it's almost like whatever it is that Jerry Jones and
company have established in terms of how the environment is,
how things are done to expectations process that we were
talking about earlier with Kirk Sittnetti, that process that these
coaches try to bring in are altered and superseded by
(14:11):
the process and the environment that has been created by
the ownership. And when that ownership process stifles what the
process of the coaching and coaching staff, coach that you
bring in there, it's going to impact you in a
way where if it's a great culture, then you'll see
(14:32):
great results. If it's a jacked up culture and you
want to see jacked up results, you don't have to
guess about it, like, oh, is he a good owner?
You don't have to guess about it because in football
you get to look at how how the team performs,
and that product that you put out there tells you exactly.
(14:54):
That's the cool thing about sports. It tells you what
you are. This is a six to what six wins?
What's the record? They're not a good team and you
could say, oh, well, they have good players, they have
shown signs of possibly being good, but you are your
(15:18):
record and your record says you are only good enough
to win six games, and you've lost more than you've won.
And this is not the first time that this team
has been in a situation where you look at them
as this is a good team, but they're not getting
the result, like that's a qualifier. There's no reason to
(15:39):
qualify it. This is a failing organization as it applies
to wins and losses. Now in terms of popularity and
in terms of worth and value, and what they generate
with ticket sales and the interest in the cheerleaders and
the interest in the paraphernalia and memorabilia. Oh, they're a juggernaut.
(16:00):
But in terms of what they are where really, I
guess shouldn't matter. I mean, maybe it shouldn't matter in
the business, but where it matters in terms of wins
and losses, they're just not They're They're a very subpar team.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Like accept it.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
You know, I'm happy that Jerry Jones didn't have to
have a conversation about super Bowls, like, oh, super Bowl
or bus.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
That's all we hear him say super Bowl or bus.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
This first time I really heard an interview where we're
just talking about just trying to win that Actually, if
he started adopting the attitude of just trying to win
versus it's always super Bowl or bus, they might hit
a different stride.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Yeah, Like he tries to sell this illusion that we're
all invested, we're trying to win a super Bowl. Okay, Well,
if you're all in you're trying to win a super Bowl,
you would have figured out what you're doing with your
head coach on time.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
You wou come on, you're not all in yeah, it's like,
but you may think you're all in and that's fine,
but ultimately speaking, if you're telling me, like, let's just
be sensible here, right, if any one of us as.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Employees, shit, we're all in.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
This is an all in year for our show, and
we do the same things and get the same results,
and there are results that weren't good enough by scale,
by measurement, then you're gonna be judged by those wins
and those losses, And there has to be an idea
(17:27):
of if this is what your products are, if this
is what you're producing, Like, think about it. You called
this an all in season, right, not my words, this
was an all in season, Then.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
What are you?
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Like, how good are you if you're at six seven
and one and you're saying this is my interpretation of
going all in to win, Like if you take a
sensible if you take a step back and look at
it sensibly, we would be on the chopping block.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Most people.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
If you're a CEO of a company, if you're an
employee of a company and you go all in and
you put your best foot forward and it's not good enough,
chances are you're depending on what field you're in, you're
possibly going to get removed and replaced, but you don't
have that happen with owners. So when your record reflects
(18:22):
in an all in season that you're only good for
a sub five hundred, sub five hundred record, who's there
to judge you. Who's there to say you have not
been good enough and you've not been good enough for
a really long time. Who's there to judge you? But
make no mistake about it, that's still who you are.
(18:44):
That all in season that we're talking about. You are
only able to put together a talented enough team to
get six wins out of fourteen games so far, and
it says what it.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Is, mediocrity. It's just what they are.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Okay, in all season, And and you're saying we're better
off without Michael Parsons, like, okay, it's just I.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Mean, look, okay, you know it's it's like, uh, you know,
you know I liked him on land Man though yeah
it was one part.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Though it was only one part. We haven't seen him
since I haven't seen the show at all.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
And maybe that's what would be good for him as
a Dallas Cowboys owner.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Just go be an actor.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Just only see you in doses they'll only do things
in doses that it ever happened. He still gets interviewed
after games, after home games, I think some away games
as well too, and he does those two hits a
week on the fan. So he's no, he's gonna he'll
be Uh, you'll be hearing from him a lot, as
we usually do. By the way, every Olympic dream starts

Man so good.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Yeah, And a lot of people think that he's been cloned.
There's that out there too. Really, there's been a lot. Yeah,
there's just you know, conspiracies out there that you know
has been cloned when he went away, that it's not
the same Dave Chappelle that it looks it just there's
you know what that's been the rumblings out there. I'm
(25:26):
not saying I believe it.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
I'm just saying those are I've.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Seen and talked to Dave Chappelle since he's been back
from his hiatus.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
There's listen, there's a conspiracy for everything. I mean, it's him.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Yeah, I would agree, No, it's it's him. Yeah, I
would agree. Some people, uh, some people are quick to
not believe anything, much like some people were quick to.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Some people think that Elvis is performing this weekend. Yeah
in Vegas. You know, there you go that he didn't
actually die. I was in a suite. I was a
sweet so goo few little what was the name of
the hotel used to always stay at that he performed
at what dodes toilet look like? Yeah, I mean they
(26:09):
said a lot of action took place in them bathrooms. Man,
there was a lot of storytelling, like historical stories being
told while we were up in there partying. I'm sure
a lot of people were leveraging too.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Here's a big Elvis.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Guy, Petros Oh is he really?
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Yeah? Oh nice.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
If we ask Patrous about Elvis, he's going to tell
you about the performance he did at a Loha stadium
where you played in the Pro Bowl, Elvis did They
did a performance of legendary performance there, Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
All right.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
So, speaking of the opposite of legendary performances, the Washington
Commanders twenty twenty five season that has been just a
just a dynamite show for everybody involved.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Well, can't blame little Danny anymore. No, you can't.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
That ship has sailed or yacht for we should probably
call it. But nonetheless, James still out there. So Jade
and Daniels is being shut down, as we alluded to yesterday,
for the rest of the year. He came back, uh,
you know, reinjured, reaggravated the elbow issue that he had,
and so Jade and Daniels is.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Done for the season.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
He's finished, So were the commanders, and Jade and Daniels
spoke about the frustrating year that has been this year
for him and his team.
Speaker 9 (27:25):
It was obviously disappointing. You know, I'm a competitor. I
want to play, but it wasn't medically cleared uh to go,
And I sat down, talked to d Q a P
and you know, made the decision. How do you feel physically?
Speaker 2 (27:38):
I'm getting better?
Speaker 9 (27:39):
I mean, I said, I didn't meet the markers to
be cleared for contact except for his game, so now
I was just focused on getting healthy and prepare for
next years. Been like for you just in general, frustrating, disappointment,
a lot more emotions, but very much probably a lot
of adversity I've dealt with on the field. For the
(28:03):
most part, and you know, just trying to learn to
keep moving.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Forward so to properly assess the state of the commanders.
All Right, you can't look at now, You've got to
look back and you've got to look forward, okay, because
now you're swimming in a kiddie pool of crap. All right,
that's what this season is. It's not saying a kittie
pool full of crap. It's disgusting.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
Man.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
You know, Charlie ever noticed that?
Speaker 5 (28:26):
The uh?
Speaker 3 (28:29):
And you know what if you're actually like relieve that
your kid is having fun and you don't remove them
from that kittie pool of crap, you got issues as
a parent too.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
What what are you getting at here? I'm just saying, man,
christ Charlie, as big as of sausages. If my kids,
you're talking about the sausage.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
You see you see how the water, You see how
water does beat its top of this here.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
We've seen in New York. Damn Daddy, that's near MF
in Canada.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
We're going to need a price check on al seven.
Be myself and I reckon, let's put a hurry on
because it looks like this and the Philip's so underrated.
It's so underrated. What an un durrated movie?
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Jo Barry's a beast bro.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
We talked about Jamie Fox earlier. Jim Carrey, you imagine
Autumn Dudes was all on the same show at one
point in time, and yeah, crazy shouts out to the
Way and Family.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Better than Saturday Night Live.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
I've always said that, you think, Yeah, that show is better,
and Living Color was better.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
I mean Living Colors pretty fire. Yeah, Saturday Night Live
is an institution. I'll take I'll take i LC. But
oh no, man, there's some skits from Saturday Night Live
that will, oh No forever be mind blowers. At that
jail sale part, where will where will Farrell.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Ca I'm walking in with Eddie Murphy and ag Kale
or Keenan fro the Keenan Kale Show. Yeah, I'm gonna
show you the door to break. Bruh. You weak.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
So on the on the subject of the Commanders. Look,
you shut him down for this year. You know he's
going to be the quarterback of the future. You're probably
gonna end up with a top five or ten pick
in the draft, and so you just hey, listen, lost season.
We'll focus on next year. But What I find interesting
(30:32):
about where Washington is is if you go back a
year ago. So we moved it forward because we can't
talk about the president because the president is awful, But
if you go back in time now and go back
to a year ago, they were the Patriots of this year,
the Bears of this year, they were the Hey, you
hire the right guy, you fix the quarterback position, and
(30:56):
the next thing you know, you're a team to reckon
with for the next X amount of years. And it
just goes to show you you need to enjoy those seasons.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
When you get that film, things can check.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
And also like a lot of the breaks that you're getting,
Like the Bears have have won a ton of games
this year that you look at and go, man, it's
one play here, it's a blocked kick here, it's this,
It's that all games they would have lost previously, but
they were on the right end of those the Chiefs
this year, all those one score.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Games that they won for all those years in the
opposite directions.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
And so like you're looking at Washington going and I
know you want to enjoy it in real time, but
I look at Washington and I go, oh, that's a
reminder that there's going to be teams this year that
are overperforming or exceeding expectations that next year we're going
to have this same conversation that we're having about Washington
now about them.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
It's called having film. You know what, what was Mike
Vrabel going to do? Who was he going to do
it with? What was Ben Johnson going to do? Who
was he going to do it with? You get a
full season of the film as you're going through it.
During the season, it's a little bit more difficult to
(32:09):
adjust and adapt to something that you weren't prepared for
then if it's somebody. That's why they always say it
doesn't matter how good a team is, if you're playing
a divisional opponent, it's always a tougher game. It's just
because you got a lot of film on it, you
got a lot of book on it. And that's why
you always hear people say you shouldn't lose to a
team that had two weeks to prepare for you they're
(32:30):
coming off of a bye. It's always a thing like
if you lose that game, because having two weeks to
be able to prepare for a game is an eternity
during the course of a season. Because the season moves
so quickly, you got to be ready and prepared. You
actually have to have your scouting reports and your information
ready to go in the offseason. That has to be
all ready to go, packaged up. And then as you
(32:53):
get closer and closer to that game, you get more
and more film and more and more current information, and
now you have more work because you have to compare
and contrast what's taking place from the information that you
scouted from during the offseason to what it looks like
real time. There's a lot of moving parts to scouting
a team properly and preparing for a team, from personnel
(33:15):
groupings to who are the players that you're going to
who's the players that.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Can hurt you if it's not the main players.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
What's the scheme, blocking schemes, what's the defensive schematics, so
on and so forth. Is it an aggressive team, is
it a blitzing team. Is it a coverage team? Is
it a Tampa two team. There are so many different
elements that you have to be prepared and ready to
deal with that.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Once you get an.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Entire offseason to look at what people have, It's like, Okay,
Jaydon Daniels did this, and I'm talking to the detail
of if he looks left first before he looks right,
he's probably his first progression. It's either to it like
you just find tendencies. Oh, he looked left first. He's
(33:59):
looking to see what the spacing is where he's going
to go.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
The schedule is tougher because you've won more games previous.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
I mean, you're you're.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
On people's radar that way, but the preparation of you
as a team, so for New England, for Chicago next year,
it's not You're not going to have those moments that
you can get away with because of the unfamiliarity of
what it is that's taking place. They now have book
(34:29):
on you and you have to stay ahead. The story
that an offensive coordinator and the defensive coordinator will tell
you is their story. The DNA of who a coach
is is their DNA. Once you once you understand the
DNA of who they are and what they're bringing to
the table, then now you you have to prepare for
it properly. And accordingly, jayde Daniels was their team. Now,
(34:53):
granted they had a lot of injuries. They didn't have
Terry McLaurin for for a standing amount of time jayde
Daniels was getting injured. They I had a lot of adversity.
They had to over rustin Eckler. Eckler went out for
the year with the achilles. I think that there are
reasons why you can say Washington didn't live up to
the expectation of what they created last year, and that's
(35:14):
how you know, circumstances out of their control. But I
think it sets the stage for a much more pressure
pack year next year, because you go from being one
game away from the super Bowl to a disappointing year,
and you can say, Okay, is disappointing because of injury.
You can you can get through this year by using that.
(35:35):
I don't think that is feasible to be able to
use that two years in a row.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Yeah, because which year are you more closely Which year
do you more closely resemble? Like because if you say, listen,
they exceeded expectations, they performed under expectations the following year,
which one is closer to the reality, Well.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
You're too far away from the super Bowl, You're too
far away from the game, away from the super Bowl.
If you have the same type of year next year,
even if it's due to injuries. You can't go back
to back seasons and be like, yeah, it's okay to
say that we weren't a good team because Jane Daniels
kept getting hurt. Again, now it's like, well, jayde Daniels
is going to continue to get hurt, So now I
got to look at this next year as well, We're
(36:15):
probably not going to do well because Jane Daniels is
going to get hurt.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
And that's why when you got these people like Steelers
fans or Eagles fans who are complaining about, well, you know,
we just you know, we just won nine win nine
games again, or we just you know, the Eagles fans
are like, wow, you know, this is disappointing. It's like, bro,
the reality of the NFL is if you are fortunate
enough to have a really good year, a lot of
(36:40):
times it looks like what Washington has this year the
following season. That's just the reality of it. That's the
way the NFL works. It's the parody. It's the up
and down nature of the NFL. There's always a team
and so like to see consistency. If you're one of
those fans of the Eagles of the Steelers, like insert
whatever team you want. Man understand, and how fortunate you
(37:01):
are to have the team that you have to root
for because most other places around the league you're either
not good enough, never gonna win a Super Bowl, or
if you do have a decent year, the following year
is going to be disappointed.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Yeah. So, and you got to keep in mind.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
Washington has PTSD based off of having an exciting quarterback
that comes in as a top draft pick and delivers
over delivers in terms.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Of what you were hoping for.
Speaker 3 (37:29):
And you were thinking what happened and then literally gets
his leg knocked off and remove from his body.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
Damn, And it was never the same. Yeah, damn, it's
never the same.
Speaker 1 (37:43):

the on the cuff for one hundred and two million
for one year.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
That's gonna be ugly, okay.
Speaker 3 (41:24):
My bad for the week is obviously the injuries to
to Juggernaut stalwarts and the NFL and Patrick Mahomes and
Michael Parsons. So that's that's definitely bad, and they don't.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
Like to see it.
Speaker 3 (41:38):
I hope they recover very well and come back even
better than what they were before.
Speaker 2 (41:42):
