now find themselves six point underdogs at Philadelphia next weekend

(01:22):
in a matchup between Matt Stafford or Matthew depending on
how he wants to be referred to, Matthew and Jalen Hurts. Yeah, well,
congratulations Matthew.

Speaker 5 (01:33):
They're a dangerous team.

Speaker 6 (01:34):
Like to me, I mean, look as good as Philly
looked offensively, there's a lot to be desired outside of Saquon.
I mean, yes, they've got the old line, yes that
you know, there's all those things, but there's something going
on between Jalen Hurts and aj Brown and Stafford's got experience,
he's got a Super Bowl ring. That defense is playing
its best football at the right time. You know, the

(01:56):
combination of Cup and Nicole, all these different things. To me,
I view the Rams as most one of the most dangerous,
not the most dangerous team in the playoffs.

Speaker 7 (02:07):
Right.

Speaker 6 (02:07):
Mcvay's a hell of a coach. So that's the one
that I think. It was a Cincinnati that made a
run when they went to the Super Bowl. They kind
of get in as one of the last teams like
I feel like the Rams or maybe that team this
year that could end up making a run to the
Super Bowl. That being said, LeVar, where are you? Like,
where in the world is LeVar Arrington?

Speaker 7 (02:30):
Hershey?

Speaker 6 (02:31):
Okay, because yesterday you were aware New Jersey. Okay, so
in Jersey. Now we're in Hershey, Hersty, Pennsylvania. Yes, does
it when you step outside, does it smell like chocolate?

Speaker 7 (02:44):
Yes? It does not? It does it does not, No,
it doesn't. But but I feel like I.

Speaker 5 (02:50):
Drove through there once and it smelled like chocolate.

Speaker 8 (02:52):
Hershey's candy. Well that's in New Jersey. It smells like
cereal because of the meal, you know. I think it's
what Nabisco maybe. Yeah, it literally smells like cereal, like
what's her cinnamon toast crunch or whatever?

Speaker 7 (03:08):
To me?

Speaker 8 (03:08):
It smells like cinnamon toast crunch to me, which is
really amazing.

Speaker 5 (03:14):
I love playing Like where in the world is is
LeVar Anton? Yeah, it's like that old game that we're
on the World's Carmen San Diego.

Speaker 8 (03:21):
Yeah, Hershey's are are much cheaper here though. The candy
is cheaper because it's here. So there you go, and
it's fresher much more fresh than what type of Hershey's
you would get where you're at.

Speaker 6 (03:39):
So, yeah, anyway, she wouldn't I get fresher Hershey's where
I'm at now than you would in California.

Speaker 7 (03:47):
Where are you at?

Speaker 5 (03:48):
Ohio?

Speaker 7 (03:49):
Ohio?

Speaker 9 (03:51):
Uh?

Speaker 7 (03:52):
Why would you say?

Speaker 5 (03:54):
It's closer in proximity to Hershey.

Speaker 6 (03:59):
Ohio's closer to Hershey, Pennsylvania than you are in California.

Speaker 8 (04:04):
Oh yeah, but I'm in Hershey, I get from the
second you leave. Yeah, yeah, well yeah that's true. Yeah, yeah,
but I'm mustache so in mine?

Speaker 5 (04:14):
Is that a part of your PhD diet?

Speaker 8 (04:17):
No, but I'm mustache them and take them. Yeah, not
for me, not for me, for the kids, gotcha? Well
only one at this point.

Speaker 5 (04:26):
Yeah, that's true. That's a good point. Yeah, you're almost
a basically an empty nester.

Speaker 7 (04:30):
One left.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, you guys are far from each other,
and just take the ice seventy and you're, uh, you're there?

Speaker 5 (04:37):
Hey, what else?

Speaker 7 (04:38):
Why do you do that? Jonah? Why do you do that?

Speaker 9 (04:40):
Do what?

Speaker 7 (04:41):
Why you do that?

Speaker 9 (04:43):
I don't why don't want to do? What did I do?

Speaker 5 (04:45):
Just say?

Speaker 9 (04:45):
You guys are close to each other it's like a
six hour.

Speaker 8 (04:47):
You typed in Hershey, and then you typed in Ohio.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
Come on, man, that's not true. It did I have
Lee's laptop? That's not possible.

Speaker 7 (04:55):
So well, well that's also not possible because he doesn't
have one.

Speaker 5 (05:00):
Have one.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
This is all off the top of my head, you know,
just getting everybody, getting everybody ready for the for the
big game Big.

Speaker 6 (05:08):
I have come to the conclusion, by the way, LeVar,
that only Jonas can get lead to do anything.

Speaker 5 (05:13):
During our show.

Speaker 6 (05:14):
It's impossible to get lead to anything unless the okay,
they worked.

Speaker 8 (05:22):
Out they only paid Lee enough to do what Jonas
wants him.

Speaker 10 (05:27):
Lee.

Speaker 6 (05:27):
I've been texting Lee for the drop for the past
three minutes program and of course are you on dial up?

Speaker 7 (05:34):
Lee?

Speaker 10 (05:34):
Like?

Speaker 5 (05:34):
What is what is going on back there?

Speaker 9 (05:36):
Well you no, I got it right here.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Well you're not Jonas, not anymore.

Speaker 6 (05:46):
See what happened.

Speaker 7 (05:51):
Version?

Speaker 9 (05:52):
And then you wanted the intro cutout, so I had
to go cut the intro.

Speaker 5 (05:54):
Off the Chris Fall show.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
You're breathing all over.

Speaker 5 (06:02):
In that time you're in You're in Diehard is awesome? Yeah, yeah,
I remember that was great?

Speaker 7 (06:08):
Man?

Speaker 9 (06:09):
What was the drop that you you can put together.

Speaker 5 (06:12):
Yeah, it doesn't matter, you don't have it.

Speaker 8 (06:19):
Oh god, that's why I said that news bad news
bears and they are the m v P s them
two right there. Yeah, in the world. Oh gosh, Oh
my gosh.

Speaker 6 (06:40):
Watching watching Rockapella perform that it's a little bit scary.

Speaker 5 (06:46):
Yeah, guys, it's just there's a lot going on there. Creepy.
They one hundred percent are oh the creepy.

Speaker 8 (06:55):
But they won't be able to creep up on Philly
and Philadelphia. Yeah, they will not. I mean there are
some beef issues going on, some drama issues. Last time
they had drama, they balled out the next game. But
it's just hard to play in Philadelphia. That's a that's
a tough place to go in and win. And I

(07:19):
just don't know. I don't know that the Rams can
do it, not with the balance of what Jay, Jalen
and Saquon are doing out of that backfield.

Speaker 7 (07:28):
I just think that it's going.

Speaker 9 (07:29):
To be tough.

Speaker 4 (07:30):
I'll take the Rams getting six points.

Speaker 5 (07:33):
I'm gonna say I'll take.

Speaker 7 (07:33):
The points too.

Speaker 6 (07:35):
Yeah, Okay, I uh, this isn't funny, but it is
a tough place to play. Eagles fans are as nasty
as they come. A couple that were Packers fans found
this out the hard way. I'm not sure if you
saw the news, but there's a gentleman who was calling
this guy's wife. I can't even say the word i'll

(07:56):
see you next tuesday, but that's.

Speaker 5 (07:58):
In essence what he was. Yeah, And I'm like, what
is going on?

Speaker 7 (08:03):
Do you?

Speaker 6 (08:04):
What do you mean? You don't need to elaborate on it, buddy,
just think about it.

Speaker 4 (08:10):
What kind of an insult is that? Like, Hey, i'll
see you next two I don't get it. What's what's
so insulting about that?

Speaker 7 (08:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (08:16):
Anyway, Uh, he like a good thing that that social
media and internet exists. The dude was kind of found out.
Apparently he works at at some kind of BTS Partners
or something like that, so he's been outed, but as
he should be. The guy was an absolute a hole.
And it's like, come on, man, Like it could be
a tough place to play without you having to add
to it, you know, and be like that.

Speaker 4 (08:37):
So anyway, I still don't get it. To see you
next tuesday for what? Like, was he trying to like
get a date?

Speaker 7 (08:43):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (08:44):
Get it, buddy? You really don't get this. Just go
talk to Lee. Take take the segment off, Go talk
to Lee.

Speaker 7 (08:49):
What are you talking about? Y'all sit in the commote
the room together? What do you mean by that?

Speaker 9 (08:57):
See you next two that?

Speaker 8 (08:58):
Don't you do know that those two are close enough
where if Lee was sitting down on the commode, Jonas
would probably be leaning up against you know, like le
feet crossed up against the uh.

Speaker 7 (09:11):
Up against the.

Speaker 8 (09:13):
Up against the sink, up against the sink, just talking sandwich.
You know, like Brady and LeVar. They really can't be
like Meantis sometimes Lee, I know Jonas, you know, like
they really could have a casual conversation like that.

Speaker 9 (09:29):
Yeah, why you're so envious of Leona's relationship?

Speaker 7 (09:32):
Oh I'm not. I just want to end it. Damn,
I want to bring y'all up.

Speaker 5 (09:38):
I definitely don't want to do that. I just I
enjoy what.

Speaker 7 (09:41):
I want to break it. I want to end it.

Speaker 6 (09:44):
I enjoy watching Lee and Jonas like operate together, Like
watch them like walk.

Speaker 5 (09:48):
Through figure out how to go places and what to do.

Speaker 9 (09:52):
I mean, listen, that is THEMB for real.

Speaker 8 (09:55):
Hey, when they ate off of each other sandwich the
way they did.

Speaker 7 (09:58):
I just that was That was it for me?

Speaker 9 (10:01):
Well, what was it for me is the fact that
you held his hair. Well I was doing it. That
was the part.

Speaker 8 (10:05):
I did not hold his hair. I just watched, y'all.
I wish I should have recorded it, because I knew
you would be the one that would be defensive about
it and be like, no, it didn't happen that way.

Speaker 9 (10:17):
Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh.

Speaker 7 (10:20):
How's your sandwich? Lee? Oh, it's really good.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
Try it, Jonas.

Speaker 8 (10:24):
And you grabbed that man sandwich and took a bite
out of it right where he been in.

Speaker 4 (10:28):
Yeah, but I made sure his hands were still on it,
like I wrapped my hands.

Speaker 7 (10:32):
Yeah you did, Yeah you did, Yes, you did.

Speaker 8 (10:36):
Yes, you did nothing, especially today in today's world.

Speaker 7 (10:41):
Nothing, absolutely nothing.

Speaker 9 (10:42):
You're the one who should be worried, not me.

Speaker 8 (10:44):
Perfectly fine, then he going to try to bring that
madness my way, like, how is your sandwich, Chase LeVar?
And then let me break you off a piece, break
it off. Don't you put your heads on my sandwich?

Speaker 9 (10:58):
You wanted to make sure I tasted the fish swish.

Speaker 4 (11:01):
The problem is you, guys, it's the big fish, the
big fish for pecause you guys well, for people that
understand don't understand the dynamic, here's how it works.

Speaker 9 (11:10):
Like Brady and LeVar are celebrities and they'll let you
know and so and I'm more of a man of
the people and so you know, I'm not a buz that.

Speaker 8 (11:25):
Ten more dollars, dollars, that's twenty.

Speaker 4 (11:29):
It's different, you know, with with certain people on this
show not named Lee, Jonas or Lorena.

Speaker 7 (11:35):
So that's ridiculous.

Speaker 8 (11:37):
The Bad News Beers led by Jonas Knox, I'm starring.

Speaker 9 (11:42):
What's a guy's name?

Speaker 4 (11:43):
Butter is the coach's named Buttermaker, the manager of the
Bad News Bears.

Speaker 8 (11:49):
Does that mean, I don't know, he used to drink
his beers.

Speaker 9 (11:52):
The simpler times, he had a cooler in the dugout.

Speaker 7 (11:57):
I think that's right. No, that it is not.

Speaker 6 (12:02):
The dug Out right, he's got the cool and the
doug That could be him.

Speaker 8 (12:07):
He ends up being that, but he's definitely in the
field playing for certain Let's.

Speaker 6 (12:12):
Let's try to transition from the Bad News Bears to
the Dallas Calboys, which could be one the same. At
this point, who is the odds on favorite to be
the next head coach for the Dallas Calboys, is it? Indeed,
Kellen Moore? Is that what we're seeing on our good
friends at DraftKings? Do they have this as a prophet?

Speaker 10 (12:29):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (12:30):
God, enough DraftKings, as I know some other uh other
books sites do.

Speaker 7 (12:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (12:35):
I saw Dion up there too, though Dion was like
number two. Is that fair?

Speaker 10 (12:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (12:41):
It was Dion Kellen Moore and uh get the latest odds.

Speaker 5 (12:46):
I saw one where like Robert Salah was high up
on that list.

Speaker 9 (12:49):
Oh wow, didn't he for the Jags job?

Speaker 5 (12:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (12:53):
I mean, look again, I think he's a good coach.
They probably shouldn't have fired him. They could have made
the decision at the end the season, but I wouldn't.

Speaker 7 (13:03):
Would they considered Zimmer?

Speaker 4 (13:07):
Uh no, No, it doesn't sound like that's I don't.
I don't think that Micah Parsons would get him. Give
him a vote of confidence.

Speaker 9 (13:16):
By the way, Uh.

Speaker 7 (13:17):
More about Monkin.

Speaker 5 (13:22):
It wouldn't be a bad idea, Todd Munkin not a
bad idea.

Speaker 7 (13:25):
It wouldn't be a bad idea.

Speaker 4 (13:27):
So I'm showing another gambling site that has Joe Brady
is the favorite right now.

Speaker 5 (13:34):
Which young offensive mind? I could see that.

Speaker 6 (13:36):
I mean it it feels like they wanted I mean again,
and maybe this is the logic, and maybe this is
what Jerry Jones would say if you asked him, But
it feels like most teams are concerned about that dilemma.
If you hire a defensive minded head coach, if he
brings along a young offensive mind, that dude's gone into
here or two. You know, you've got to have like

(13:58):
a secession plan to who that was is going to
be if you're a defensive minded head coach. And if
if you bring an offensive minded head coach, he's stay.
He's always going to be there a little longer. You
know whose name was thrown?

Speaker 7 (14:09):
What about Marcus Freeman.

Speaker 5 (14:12):
He's interviewing for the Bears job.

Speaker 7 (14:14):
Yeah, is he really well?

Speaker 6 (14:17):
I mean, Kevin warning him are close obviously dating backaways,
but there's also the team that drafted him. So why
not kick the tires? Why not, you know, interview someone
who you've had in your organization before.

Speaker 7 (14:30):
Dang, y'all gonna lose y'all coach.

Speaker 5 (14:32):
Well, he's got to replace him.

Speaker 9 (14:35):
No, he should stay in Notre Dame.

Speaker 7 (14:37):
I think i'd stay.

Speaker 9 (14:39):
Enjoy what you got. You don't need to be a
part of that disaster.

Speaker 8 (14:42):
I'm going to say, I'd say the same thing that Dion,
stay right where you at.

Speaker 5 (14:46):
But I think Dion said that. Then he say he
loves being in border, he loves everything they build.

Speaker 8 (14:49):
Did Yeah, but but I'm intrigued, he said, I'm interested.

Speaker 4 (14:54):
Interesting And his name was thrown out there as a
potential candidate.

Speaker 9 (14:58):
Was Jason Witten Uh also thrown out there?

Speaker 7 (15:02):
Why would you do that?

Speaker 9 (15:03):
I don't know. That's just one of the names that
was out there. This is this is the Cowboys.

Speaker 4 (15:09):
Wanting to let everybody know that, Hey, this is you know,
everybody wants a part of this job.

Speaker 6 (15:14):
Okay, let's let's throw out the other part of this.
Odds on where Mike McCarthy ends up.

Speaker 5 (15:21):
I just feel like.

Speaker 6 (15:22):
Chicago is going to end up being the place for
some reason. I don't know why. It just it feels
like that makes perfect sense. Right, he knows the division.
You've got a quarterback you want to bring an offensive
mind to pair him with. There's just there's something about
his attitude, is demeanor.

Speaker 5 (15:40):
The Chicago you know, like how you know?

Speaker 6 (15:42):
And I know he's he's a PA guy, but there's
just something about Chicago that feels like the right fit
for Mike McCarthy.

Speaker 4 (15:49):
Little revenge on the Packers twice a year, you know,
come back and right some wrongs.

Speaker 9 (15:54):
I don't hate it.

Speaker 4 (15:56):
There's there's a lot of a lot worse names out
there in my mind, so I don't ate Michael.

Speaker 7 (16:01):
Why does Royan Day's name not come up ever? For
like the next level?

Speaker 5 (16:06):
I feel like it does.

Speaker 7 (16:07):
Though.

Speaker 6 (16:07):
Didn't he come up when the Philly job was open
or did he interview for it?

Speaker 4 (16:12):
Well? It also came up when Justin Fields was there
early on in Chicago. They thought, you know, for a coach.

Speaker 8 (16:22):
Okay, then what about Cliff Kingsbury since we said he
to hear him up?

Speaker 7 (16:27):
Who's the interview? Wait?

Speaker 5 (16:28):
Can you imagine Cliff Kingsber in Dallas.

Speaker 7 (16:30):
Taking over Dallas?

Speaker 5 (16:32):
Look, he'd be exhausted off.

Speaker 9 (16:34):
Cliff would be exhausted.

Speaker 6 (16:36):
They had to push around a wheelchairs.

Speaker 9 (16:40):
Oh yeah, another IV bag coach.

Speaker 7 (16:43):
Tang, We'll get that guy some gat Tan w planets.

Speaker 5 (16:54):
You've seen a chiropractor like newon every Day? That back?

Speaker 7 (17:00):
Right?

Speaker 2 (17:02):
Black holes?

Speaker 5 (17:12):
Oh no, hey, thanks Lee, thanks for being on top.

Speaker 7 (17:20):
Moons. I'm just saying stupid.

Speaker 6 (17:25):
Oh if Kingsburgh has some action back there.

Speaker 7 (17:28):
Yeah, no sang.

Speaker 10 (18:40):
What's up guys?

Speaker 9 (18:41):
Are you We're good, sir?

Speaker 4 (18:44):
How you feeling after the first weekend of the NFL playoffs?
Your thoughts on the games?

Speaker 10 (18:49):
And it kind of they were kind of dues, weren't they.
I mean, you know, they weren't very good games. There
were a couple of them that were one of them
was okay, but the rest of them are very good.

Speaker 5 (19:00):
You think two years in a row peat.

Speaker 10 (19:03):
So yeah, but at least in this sport, you got
to earn your way in, like, oh.

Speaker 6 (19:08):
That's right, because I guess winning games in college football,
like Arizona State, they earn their way in, right because
they didn't win their conference and getting get in because
that right, well.

Speaker 10 (19:15):
They did, But it doesn't mean that that everybody else did.
I mean, Brady, you know there's a committee that boats
put teams in in that sport. You know that, well,
I mean.

Speaker 5 (19:24):
Yes, Pete, I do know that. Pete.

Speaker 6 (19:25):
Do you know there's one hundred and thirty three teams
that are in that sport? So it's a little different.
It's a little apples orangs as comparison as far as how.

Speaker 5 (19:32):
They get in. But you know, again, we can. We
can argue semantics all we want.

Speaker 6 (19:37):
The reality is, much like you joked about the playoff,
the wild card round has traditionally been crap for the NFL.

Speaker 7 (19:45):
Damn take that, Pete.

Speaker 10 (19:47):
By adding those apples, I think it's I think by
adding the seventh team, it's diluted. It almost like to
the point where you don't need that seventeen.

Speaker 5 (19:57):
You had one.

Speaker 7 (19:57):
You had one competitive game, buddy one, but the.

Speaker 10 (20:02):
Well, you had one competitive game in college football until
this past weekend.

Speaker 6 (20:07):
Exact same thing, same thing, So why are we complaining
about it?

Speaker 10 (20:13):
Everybody in the NFL earns their way in. It's not
it's not picked by a bunch of committee members sitting
in a room going, oh, I think this strength of
schedule looks better than that one, and they beat them.
But who cares? You know, it's not. You earn your
way in. That's the way, Pete.

Speaker 6 (20:28):
It's the stupidest thing I think I've ever heard you say.
I've heard you say some really dumb things. They have
to play throughout the source of the regular season to
earn their way in. It's no different than the NFL.
It's just a smaller league and they obviously have divisions,
which I think if anything, Pete, if you really want
to like have a discussion, you should reevaluate how teams

(20:48):
are seated based on their overall record and not winning
their division. When when you and I both know the
NFC South stinks, the AFC South stinks, and they probably
should be hosting a home playoff game. We've seen teams
of losing records make the playoffs. Are you saying that
those teams earn their way in?

Speaker 7 (21:07):
People, Pete, Pete, take that.

Speaker 10 (21:10):
Pete, Pete. You want that, Pete, that's all they want?

Speaker 7 (21:15):
Pete, Pete.

Speaker 6 (21:16):
Have we ever seen have we ever seen a team
with a losing record make the college football playoff?

Speaker 7 (21:21):
Tell us, Pete, tell us that.

Speaker 5 (21:25):
I know why, Pete.

Speaker 6 (21:26):
But the reality is you're saying they earned their way
in the losing record.

Speaker 7 (21:32):
That's ridiculous, Pete.

Speaker 10 (21:33):
By the way, you.

Speaker 5 (21:34):
Want to losing records.

Speaker 7 (21:35):
If you want to get ridiculous, Pete.

Speaker 10 (21:38):
College football is a great sport, but it's second fiddle
to that league, and you know it, damn as.

Speaker 5 (21:44):
Far as ratings. I'm sure.

Speaker 6 (21:45):
But here's the thing is, we'll see if NFL ratings
continue whatever to grow.

Speaker 5 (21:49):
The way college has.

Speaker 6 (21:51):
That's the reality is it's not growing as fast as
college has.

Speaker 7 (21:54):
Yeah, take that, Pete, take nothing.

Speaker 10 (21:57):
I want.

Speaker 7 (21:58):
I always win. You take that. The only thing that
you take that?

Speaker 6 (22:03):
So you're telling me a losing team should get in
the playoffs because they earn.

Speaker 10 (22:06):
Pete and the way the only argument, the only arguments
where there's never a winner, or when you argue against yourself.

Speaker 8 (22:16):
Pete, we're not laughing with you, Pete, we're laughing at you.

Speaker 7 (22:19):
Damn. Take that, Pete.

Speaker 5 (22:22):
He always wins.

Speaker 6 (22:23):
Besides, when we do our picks, and obviously we saw
that one the last two years.

Speaker 7 (22:26):
That's right. Take that, Pete. Q just owned you. Q
just owned you. Pete.

Speaker 10 (22:33):
Own game. The games of college football stunt, except for
the Arizona State Texas game, the only one.

Speaker 7 (22:40):
I disagree.

Speaker 10 (22:42):
I mean, look, the Notre Dame pen State, the Notre
Dame Penn State game was close. Was Was that an
exciting game?

Speaker 7 (22:50):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (22:51):
Was it not?

Speaker 7 (22:53):
Yes?

Speaker 10 (22:54):
It was? It was?

Speaker 7 (22:55):
Okay.

Speaker 10 (22:56):
I mean you got one answer the ball down the field,
you got another one. He runs around like crazy.

Speaker 8 (23:02):
All right, Pete, You throwing out insults does not make
your arguments better.

Speaker 5 (23:07):
Pete, that's true, Pete.

Speaker 6 (23:08):
How would you grade Leard as an NFL quarterback since
you went there?

Speaker 10 (23:13):
Well, I so somebody your network said he's the next
Josh Allen.

Speaker 5 (23:17):
I don't know where the hell that came, which networks?

Speaker 9 (23:20):
That Fox?

Speaker 3 (23:21):
Yeah, that was that was Jordan Palmer.

Speaker 5 (23:27):
He's not Fox.

Speaker 10 (23:28):
No, Colin Cowards. Colin Coward said out a tweet comparing
him to Josh Allen, would just give me a rank.
Come on, Colin, you know better than that Josh Allen.
Is there anything in that guy's game that makes you
think Josh Allen? Not one thing makes you think Josh Allen.

Speaker 7 (23:44):
He can run pretty well, okay.

Speaker 10 (23:47):
But he's not physical like John Come on, give me
a break. Here's nothing his arm strength.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
He's white thrower.

Speaker 8 (23:52):
Yeah, there you go, Jonas, There you go, Jonas, get
in there, get in there on him. Jonas, who was
compared to an.

Speaker 7 (24:00):
NFL another white quarterback.

Speaker 5 (24:02):
Yeah, honestly, you won. My comparisons of.

Speaker 10 (24:07):
Ryan Tannehill, Ryan Tannehill Man, I mean that's.

Speaker 6 (24:14):
Look, I think that's a good comp He not as
far along as a passer, as Ryan obviously.

Speaker 5 (24:20):
Was when he left.

Speaker 7 (24:21):
I think it's a good comp.

Speaker 6 (24:22):
I think as far as size, athleticism, like all this,
all this intangibles, I think he's similar rights.

Speaker 7 (24:26):
Yeah, yeah, take that broad side of the bar.

Speaker 10 (24:30):
And like Drew Aller in that game.

Speaker 8 (24:33):
Pete, your insults will not pull me out of character.
Drew Aller is a fire quarterback. He's a young man
finding his way.

Speaker 7 (24:40):
That's all.

Speaker 10 (24:41):
Hey.

Speaker 8 (24:42):
By the way, you know what about the quarterback Arizona State,
let's talk about him and how good he is.

Speaker 10 (24:48):
Well, you know what he's gonna be. He's gonna be
really good and he's only a wretch. By the way,
I saw the picture where you you took with the
number elevens.

Speaker 7 (24:56):
I like that. That's a good picture. Yeah, did you
like that? Thanks, Pete. I'll be your friend now, your friend.

Speaker 10 (25:04):
I like it.

Speaker 7 (25:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (25:06):
Yeah, you set me up for a backhanded Uh. I'm
not going for.

Speaker 10 (25:14):
Your bait relevant and that I'm not setting you up.

Speaker 7 (25:17):
Okay, okay, all right, good right, thank you, pet Pete.

Speaker 4 (25:21):
What did you think of the fiasco that was the
Cowboys handling of Mike McCarthy's departure.

Speaker 10 (25:28):
Well, I think it'll become more of a fiasco depending
on who they hire. I mean, if they wanted to
keep them, why didn't they keep them? And all the
coaches contracts were expiring, they started panicking and he started
getting looks somewhere else, and they said no, and then
all of a sudden he couldn't come to a deal,
and it wasn't handled very well. They should have just
kept them. I mean, the bottom line is the problem
with that team isn't Mike McCarthy. It's Jerry Jones and

(25:53):
and the you know, the situation with the roster, and
so if he wants to blame somebody, look in the
mirror and fire himself. And I've always I've always defended
him in that situation, but he's the problem in large
park because their roster is are very good, or at
least it wasn't with all the injuries this year. So
now where do they go? You think he's going to
pay ten million dollars to buy out beyond fantherers. He doesn't.

(26:15):
He doesn't pay that kind of thing. He doesn't make
those kind of deals. I doubt that's going to happen.
But where do they go? What do they do they're
going to get a better coach to Mike McCarthy, good luck.

Speaker 6 (26:25):
So what about Ben Johnson? I know they have to
wait a while until he's throw out of the playoffs.
Well what about Ben Johnson?

Speaker 10 (26:30):
Didn't they kind of I mean they kind of hurt
themselves in that scenario too, but not you know, they
could have talked to him last week. Now they can't, right,
I mean, just the timing of it is very good.
I think Ben Johnson needs to go to Jackson. Well,
I think Ben Johnson wants to go to JACKSONLL. I
think the problem is Trent Balkey. You know, Ken Ben
Johnson go in there, wowming up to get rid of
Trent Falkey in the GM role. Then I think he

(26:51):
goes in there, he gets Ryan Newmark from Washington, who's
his work with him in Detroit, and I think they
make they make that decision to go in there. So
that's what I think ideally happens for Ben Johnson. You
know the Raiders, look, working for Tom Brady might be
something you're intrigued by, and I know their agents are
close or it might be the same guy either, But
where's the quarterback in that scenario? I mean you're setting

(27:14):
yourself up. You're setting yourself up almost to be a
failure because you can't win without a quarterback. So what
do you do if you go to the Raiders, I
think you're going to be you know, have big problems
winning there.

Speaker 6 (27:25):
I want to go back to Jackson Bly because I
saw Shod Cohn on a video recording with Trem Balk
and he flat out said, like, if the head coach
wants trend Balkey out, he's out. The problem with that
is is is Tren Bulk a part of the decision
making process for who the head coach is going to be?

Speaker 10 (27:44):
Well, what it is, Brady, is Shod Cohn doesn't have
any real confidence in that building. So there's one that
he can lean on that knows the process, can do
all the interviews, talk to all the people in the league,
because you know, he's not that guy, and so he's
using him in the process. And if somebody comes in there,
and why I've been told this, if somebody comes in
there and wows him to the point that they want

(28:06):
to hire him as head coach and he doesn't want
Trent baal Key, he will either be reassigned in the organization,
which would be a good thing or booted out the door.
And quite frankly, he should be booted out the door.
I mean, the guy's had two coaches already, this is
number three. Give me a break. Look look at the
drafting that he's done over the years and some of
the free the free agent moves he made. He needs
to go and I think ultimately whoever gets that job

(28:28):
will get him out.

Speaker 8 (28:30):
I want to revisit the playoffs, Pete, and get your
opinion on, you know, since we had such a spirited
discussion about the playoffs, you know and pros versus college. Listen,
you got Baltimore and Buffalo coming up. What's your what's
your expectations of this one? I feel like that's probably
the Super Bowl chab that's coming out of that game.

Speaker 10 (28:52):
Well, you're just going to discount the Michael Jordan over
in Kansas City.

Speaker 7 (28:56):
Are you, LaVar? Huh? I mean I am? I am?

Speaker 8 (28:59):
Because their defense is what Bell's, Bell's Patrick mahomes out
quite a bit more times than maybe what people might
want to give credit for, and I don't know that
their defenses can hold up to either one of those
offenses out of Buffalo or Baltimore.

Speaker 10 (29:15):
Wow, you you just dissed Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 7 (29:19):
I did not, I just was stating facts.

Speaker 10 (29:21):
No, Look, Patrick Mahomes in the playoffs makes the big plays.
Let's be real, He's always has. He did it last year.
He made this the big throw down.

Speaker 7 (29:28):
So that's his defenses, right you you would agree that
his defense is making that big plays.

Speaker 10 (29:34):
Over the course of the course of his his career,
the defense hasn't been that good as what as it
was last year, and it's not that good this year.
They're going to win this year. It's going to because
of him. But look, could Baltimore win. They can go
in there and win. I'm not going to argue with
you on that. I think they're more than k both
of them are more than capable of going in there
and win winning, But you know it's not easy to

(29:54):
go there and win, and they need to know two
wins and they're in the Super Bowl game going for
number three. And so who do I think I think
Buffalo wins this time? And the reason I think Buffalo
wins this time last time they played him, no Milano,
no Bernard, no Tarren Johnson. I mean that's your starting
nickel corner and your two linebackers Derrick Henry Win ran

(30:15):
wild in that game. I think they're gonna do a
better job on them, and I do worry about the Ravens.
Second that we saw a little bit of that last
week when Russell Wilson actually completed passes in the second half.
So I think Buffalo wins that game in Buffalo or Baltimore.
Whoever does win going to Kansas City and win? Yeah,
are you picking them? Are you picking them? I picked
Buffalo before the season, and I'm not sure I'm going

(30:37):
to pick them to beat Kansas City.

Speaker 8 (30:38):
I picked Kansas City before the season, and I'm not
sure I'm picking Kansas City to win either one of
the against either one of those teams. Wow, I think
they're too hot. I think, by the way, I actually
think Baltimore is the hottest team.

Speaker 10 (30:52):
The old adage came true again last night, didn't it.
You are what you are?

Speaker 5 (30:58):
Come on, Pete, come on, pete.

Speaker 9 (31:01):
How much money did Sam Darnold cost himself the past
two weeks?

Speaker 7 (31:04):
Pete?

Speaker 10 (31:05):
Oh boatload? I mean, look, he wasn't going to get
the fifty million dollars deal. But you got to think
that the Vikings were sitting there saying, you know what,
maybe we should just keep him and and you know,
maybe give him the Baker Mayfield plus deal. I don't
know if he's going to get that. And if he
does get that, where else is he going to get
it from. He melted down the last two weeks he

(31:25):
had that. It was almost like he stepped in and
he took over the Kirk Cousins glazed look role. And
you know, I mean it was awful. It was he
looked like he held the ball for a half out
and it was terrible. And so again the adage usually
comes through, you are what you are, and you can

(31:45):
hide it for a little while. You can mask it
with some games, but usually plays true. You are what
you are.

Speaker 5 (31:53):
You had one hell of a season, Pete. So I
know you want to try to won a super Bowl.

Speaker 10 (31:58):
Nick Bowles wonted Super Bowl on eactly great his accident
in the history of the National Football League.

Speaker 6 (32:03):
But guess what, Pete, He's got a super Bowl ring.
So you can try to say you are what you are,
but it doesn't take away from the fact that they
didn't win fourteen games. They did get into the playoffs.
Like it's hard to kind of counter that he will
be making a decent contract the off season. The questions
more moving forward, what would you do with Sam Darnold

(32:23):
and JJ McCarthy. Would you just move on to JJ?
Or would you do something to allow Sam to be
there and then see what you have in JJ and
allow them both and maybe Pete compete whatever.

Speaker 5 (32:34):
As you head into twenty twenty.

Speaker 10 (32:35):
Five, Well, how do you do that?

Speaker 7 (32:37):
Do you tag him?

Speaker 5 (32:39):
I mean, that's one way of going about it.

Speaker 10 (32:42):
Well, let's put it this way, Brady. I thought there
was a real chance they could try and get assets
and trade JJ McCarthy a couple of weeks ago. There
isn't a chance in hell of that happening now, Zeroamn,
I mean, no way. And look, Sam Darnold did some
good things this year, There's no question about it. But
do you want him being the quarterbacks of your football

(33:03):
team if you have true Super Bowl aspirations? Yes or no?

Speaker 6 (33:07):
You we said this to start the show, and that's
more of my sentiment was I think he proved that
he's probably not that guy that's going to be able
to elevate the entire team to win a Super Bowl.
But again it's it's you know, I don't know if
Kevin O'Connell says it the same way, I don't know
if Quasio do Flamensa sees it the same way. Right,
they might they might look at the entire body of work,

(33:28):
and there might be some things they go back and
look at and say, hey, our protection wasn't great.

Speaker 5 (33:33):
You need to get rid of the football.

Speaker 6 (33:34):
But of those nine sacks, maybe you know, five of
them were still hitting home regardless, right, I get.

Speaker 10 (33:40):
I would agree with you on a lot of that.
I'm I'm not saying he's all as blamed for it, no,
but you gotta admit the look on his face.

Speaker 5 (33:49):
What was the look, Pete? He what was the look?
Describe it for us?

Speaker 1 (33:52):
It was it was like it was Michelle Show.

Speaker 10 (33:54):
I mean, when you kidding, He looked like he was
he would never be able to complete a path again
in his life. That's what he looked like.

Speaker 6 (34:00):
Am Have you ever had that, Pete? What have you
ever had that look on your face before? Give us
a time you remember having this glazed look?

Speaker 7 (34:11):
When did you have.

Speaker 10 (34:11):
Any you had that look? I never have that look
on my face ever, one of those guys, even.

Speaker 6 (34:18):
When you riding your bike around the neighborhood. You never
had any close calls where you thought some guy is
going to take you out or something.

Speaker 10 (34:25):
No, no, no, I did not and could somebody take
me out? Sure? Absolutely, you get some big monster he's
gonna take me out. But you know what I always do, Brady,
I get even.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
Tang beat City gets even at Prisco.
