We'll keep carrying first.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Okay, all right, all right? Why only second?
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Because because that would mean that Carrie wouldn't be in

Speaker 5 (02:46):
Phil golds Prisco.
Speaker 7 (02:48):
Pete Prisco, senior NFL columnist for CBS Sports, CBS Sports
HQ Analysts. You can get him on x at Prisco
CBS and he is very active because uh Pete is
Aaron f Then first ball, good morning, and second, is
there an epidemic in the NFL when it comes to
coaches not taking points?
Speaker 8 (03:07):
Absolutely, no question about it. And good morning fellas. And
look the bottom line. The bottom line is how many
teams look at their game. And for example, Jacksonville, if
they had kicked their field goal early in the game
to make it a seven point lead when you're at
home in the playoffs, they wouldn't they wouldn't have needed
that field goal late. And you go to San Francisco.
(03:30):
San Francisco kicked the field goal on fourth down in
the first half and late in the game that meant
that the Eagles needed to go get a touchdown. The
bottom line is, these guys are out of control and
I call it Dan Dan campbell itis, and at some
point the disease needs to be stopped.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Oh damn man, Pete, Pete, how you're the mayor of Jacksonville.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
How do you you summarize that that game?
Speaker 2 (03:54):
It's just a great game back and forth or are
you just going to play it all on the field goals?
And also if the uh okay, if you're in the
postgame press pool, would you have just complimented Liam Cohen
postgame or would you have asked them some questions?
Speaker 8 (04:10):
Well, I wouldn't. I wouldn't have complimented him first and foremost.
I would have probably asked why he went for it
on fourth down and got an explanation on that. But
you saw that that obviously that video, and I don't
understand why somebody would do that in that environment. But
I also don't understand why everybody gets so bothered by
(04:31):
it either. Look, I get it. I've worked in the
profession for a long time. I'm a professional. I wouldn't
have done that.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Well, but you're not supposed to sound like a fan
you're supposed to, you know, be objective and cover the team.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
I think that's why people have an issue with.
Speaker 8 (04:43):
It, right, I get it, But but why do uh,
why do we get so worked up over stuff like that?
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Though?
Speaker 8 (04:49):
Look, just okay, the lady had her moment. Move on,
That's all it is.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Hmm, Pete, These were to me some very very very
competitive games. I felt like the one that held the
most weight was on on Buffalo. What was What was
your take was that? Was that a big Like? Was
that the biggest game in terms of needing to win?
(05:16):
Maybe some would say Green Bay in Chicago. I wouldn't
be opposed to seeing the logic in that. What was
the one you were watching? You're like, man, there's a
lot of weight on this game.
Speaker 8 (05:27):
Well, I mean people put a lot of weight on
Josh Allen and to win that game because they keep
looking at the landscape and saying, there's no Lamar Jackson,
there's no Patrick Mahomes, there's no Joe Burrow. So if
he's not going to win it this year, when is he.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Going to win it?
Speaker 8 (05:38):
So? I think that put a lot on him. And
I could tell you that was the one thing that
Jackson was worried about if he's become superman in the moment,
and he did. He made the place when he had to,
But they didn't run the ball very well on Sunday,
and it was all about Josh Allen making those plays.
But I think that was you know, you go down
on the road in the postseason. When you're out on
the road in the postseedson, it's hard to win. And
(05:59):
he and now he's got to go back out on
the road again and it's going to be hard to win.
So you know, it's tough to win on the road.
Plus everybody always says, what if he won a game
in the playoffs, a big game in the playoffs and
he threw for one hundred and fourteen yards and you know,
two interceptions in the touchdowns, is that on him? Or
just like we penalize him for thirteen seconds in Kansas City,
(06:22):
is he responsible for not winning that game? He threw
five touchdown passes and they couldn't handle thirteen seconds back
in the day. But sometimes we put too much blame
on the quarterbacks and too much credit on the quarterbacks.
But the reality is he won, he moves on, and
now he's still got another chance to get the Super Bowl,
and I think it's entirely possible.
Speaker 7 (06:42):
Pete Prisco joining us here on Fox Sports Radio, senior
NFL columnist for CBS Sports, CBS Sports.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
HQ analysts, and again you get him on ax.
Speaker 7 (06:49):
At Prisco CBS. Pete, what's wrong with the Eagles?
Speaker 8 (06:55):
Well, offensively they're not very good. I mean you look
at that offense and you can't get any rhythm going,
and you can't get any idea of what they're doing.
Once they got the first down late in the game
and we were at the twenty something yard line, you
had three timeouts, you still could have run the ball.
Do you have to throw it four straight plays? You
(07:17):
had Barkley, he could rip off some long runs. You
didn't need to rush there, And I thought they panicked
in the moment. I think offensively they have no rhythm. Now,
guys have regressed. My lot has not been as good.
The left guard hasn't been as good, the center has
you know, isn't hasn't been as good as Chelsey over
the last couple of years. You know, the right guard
(07:37):
position wasn't as good as it was a year ago.
And they don't have Lane Johnson. So the offensive line
isn't as good, but I don't think they ever get
into any sort of rhythm. Every time you watch the Eagles,
don't you watch them and say, what the hell are
they doing? Why don't you just give it to Barkley
in that scenario? Why don't you do this? And you
know it doesn't help that AJ Brown's over there. Maybe
(07:58):
I saw him getting into with the coach. It looked
like they were complaining because he didn't die for the football.
I think that had something to do with it. But
it's not a good environment on offense and they need changes. Again.
I think the offensive coordinator is a big trouble.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Well, that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
We've kind of talked about that, and just the fact
that the offense teams to not have much of a
much creativity and much of a spark for a group
that's too talented, not too On the flip side of
the forty nine ers, have you seen this theory that's
been going around about the substation this whole like electromagnetic
pulse and things that could be impacting the San.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Francisco forty nine ers.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Would you be surprised if there was some correlation between
all these soft tissue injuries because they've been one of
the most banged up teams in the NFL and where
their practice facility is and obviously their stadium too, Like,
is that one of the least surprising things. Are you
just saying, ah, it's just a conspiracy theory. Are you
buying it?
Speaker 8 (08:53):
It's a conspiracy theory. Stop it. Look at look at
all the injuries around the league. Everybody's having these kind
of major injuries. Look at every team that's more than ever,
it's become a survival test now. I mean, you know,
we talk about them, but let's go to the Packers
and let's take away the guys that aren't on their
roster playing on Sunday. Michael on Saturday, Michael Parsons, you
know you need him sack bumble game over. That's what
(09:15):
he would do. You didn't have Tucker Craft, who was
on his way to becoming one of the better tight
ends in the league. He got there, the right starting
right tackles, the best offensive line of Zach Tom wasn't there,
Devonte Wyatt, their defensive tackle was the best run stuffer,
wasn't there. I mean, on and on it goes. Every
team in the league is that way, and you know
the forty nine ers have been hit by a ton
of them, because the Marquee guys have been hit too,
(09:36):
But so the Packers, so of other teams around the league.
So I don't Brady, where's that conspiracy theory coming from?
By the way, where's that coming from?
Speaker 3 (09:44):
I don't know. Some guy that has study on it.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Apparently he like measured the huh whatever the measurement.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
I don't know enough about it.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I just would have thought at you to see if
you couldn't shoot it down right away.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
But he did take a measurement. He did say this
is like.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Overly high or you know, probably for the betterment of
your health, which I did bring into question. A lot
of these facilities aren't necessarily built, uh in the like
safest or most environmentally friendly places like we used to
practice the rams. Apparently they're next to a toxic waste
site or a dump site. We're just south, we're just
(10:21):
northern south of that.
Speaker 8 (10:22):
So don't people live around the damn thing too?
Speaker 3 (10:25):
In some cases usually they're not supposed to be that close.
Speaker 8 (10:29):
So all we care about is the NFL is the
people being there, but not that people actually live around it.
I guess Crady. We people will find a conspiracy theory
in everything nowadays. It's unbelievable. How about guys just get hurt.
I mean that's the reality.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
It's just I think here's here's the pushback is they
don't practice as much as they used to.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
The off seasons are shorter.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Yes, there's one additional game, but you know that I've
been playing in preseason games now, So like, what do
you draw the conclusions.
Speaker 8 (10:56):
To whole issue? That's a whole other issue. And you
know I've shown this out there before. I think they're
over training. To be honest with you, I think I
think there's too much training going on because guys don't
get away, don't let their bodies heal.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
So what are they do in the off season?
Speaker 2 (11:10):
They go back smoke some smoke some SIGs and like
have a few pops back in the day.
Speaker 8 (11:15):
No, no, but Brady, you know how these guys they
it's they go from those those facilities right after the
season's over. Then they go back to the team and
work out, and then they and then they got OTA's
and they got mini camp and they're still in the
facility and then they get away for four four weeks
before the season starts, and what do they do for
those four weeks? Usually take one week of vacation, go somewhere,
and the rest of it they're training again. It's I
(11:38):
think some point you gotta you gotta pull it back
a little bit and let the body heal. I don't
think they let the body heel. Now, you know better
than me because you played. Bivarno's better than me because
he played. But the reality is, I think sometimes we
got to look at it. They sometimes overtrained.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
I feel like that's overstated.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Sometimes just because the person play doesn't mean they're aware
of what that's all about. But that that kind of
just that's the reason I'm kind of fallow over.
Speaker 8 (12:00):
Did you overtry? You know?
Speaker 1 (12:01):
If I'm being honest, I wouldn't know if I did
or if I didn't, You know what I mean, Like,
I don't know, And it's a curious it's a curious conversation.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Can I ask this.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Though, like, don't you feel like you got to keep
your body in that shape or condition? Because I also
feel like there's a significant thought to if you're out
of shape, you got to get back into shape.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Injuries coming along with that.
Speaker 8 (12:25):
No, I get it. I get it, Brady, But I'm
talking about like they go do the high intensity training
at the facilities and you know where they pay big money,
like you know, talking about the Bomba Ridos of the
world and all those.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Places, and don't don't be.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Don't be you know, sitting there and being poorly a
val Pang. It's a fellow pflo Italian bang No.
Speaker 8 (12:44):
I think those facilitiated great, but I think at some
point you got to let your body rest. And staying
in shape is one thing, but pushing yourself to the
point where you know when you get back to the team, Brady,
when you used to have, you know, the workout time
in the NFL. You come back and a lot of
guys were not in great shape, to be honest about it,
they weren't any best shape.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
No, probably not. But I didn't play that long ago.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Like most guys were still relatively in pretty good shape.
Speaker 8 (13:10):
Didn't you play like in the nineteen eighties. Isn't that
a Pete?
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Most most guys would come back this is this is
where I love Pete because I know where he's gonna
go here. Most guys would come back from one of
those facilities where they're training and they got the smoothie
and they got you know, all the stuff that they're done,
and then another smoothie.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
You know, like they they had all the smooth as
they were taking so they're in great.
Speaker 8 (13:31):
Shape, right, Yeah, ferries and instead of going out and
having a few beers and some wings and they're the
first guy that they're the first guy to pull the hamstring.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Pete could never get past the smoothie thing.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
I think that was like a Chip Kelly Philadelphia Eagles
thing that became.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Yeah, that's why I'm bringing up.
Speaker 8 (13:51):
I'm okay, I'm okay. Look I like a smoothie too.
Everybody likes the smoothie, but they act like it was
the most innovative, cutting edge.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Thing in the world to be a break Pete.
Speaker 7 (14:00):
Uh, you know, maybe some of these athletes they don't
know which way to go because if they overtrained, you
criticize them, and then if they're Vita Vea, you rip
them apart on the air. That's a great point, Jonas, like,
how do you feel about that?
Speaker 5 (14:14):
Fat shame them? How you do that in staying.
Speaker 8 (14:18):
In shape and being uh you know, working out to
the point where you're physically mauling yourself. Nine months out
of the year is two different things, you know that.
Come on, there's different there's different levels of it.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
And by the way, you moved gold posts sometimes, Pete,
there are lots of There are lots.
Speaker 8 (14:34):
Of skinny people aren't in.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Shape, by the way, there there are there certainly what
can I can?
Speaker 3 (14:41):
I ask you to name one?
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Oh God, huh, name one?
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Believe me?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Go go look around you look that you know Name
someone from Name someone from the CBS office.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
We both know air Mount.
Speaker 8 (14:56):
I'm not naming the names from my office, by the way, Brady,
speaking of my office, I got to tell you this story.
You will be so proud of this, and I'm so
happy about it. One of our guys was at a
thrift store or something yesterday during the game. I don't
know who, one of our producers, and he text he
texts Jack a picture of something in the thrift store
(15:19):
and you know what, you know what it was? It
was a Quinn Brown's jersey, and I go, you I
want it now. I zeld it was on sale with
fifty bucks, and I zeld them the fifty bucks and
by Tuesday, I will have myself up Brady. Quinn Brown.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
That's pretty awesome, Pete. I love how you just kept
the market value of that jersey up. Thank you for
fifty dollars.
Speaker 8 (15:45):
You are going to find that for me, So man,
I can't wait to get you to I might. You
guys are going to be the super Bowl, right?
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Yes? Can I can I tell you what the inscription
is gonna say?
Speaker 5 (15:54):
Pete?
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Or do you want to be surprised?
Speaker 8 (15:56):
Don't want to be surprised, But but I will tell
you because I usually come fit in with you guys
at the super Bowl for a little while. Yes, I'm
wearing that that day, Pete.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Here's the problem.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
You're gonna have to get your ass up early, and
no one's gonna be there to see it.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
Besides, you did it last year. I mean I guess
we were in New Orleans.
Speaker 8 (16:17):
Wait a second, you're on the West coast.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
Yeah, yeah, have an hour three, Just come on hour three.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
That's by the way, Pete, Pete, how hungover were this
past this past year?
Speaker 8 (16:29):
I mean, I mean I got drunk off of war
that day.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
Awf of me.
Speaker 8 (16:39):
I think you were. I think you were all really bad.
But I think LeVar took the cake. So that's why
I was clo and I was closed to.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Sleep in segment.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
I was hurting that I thought hurt was puke.
Speaker 8 (16:56):
Yeah, I was a good Yeah, Brady, come to say it,
you're all pretty bad. You're right, it was.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
It was pretty bad. It was a massacred.
Speaker 8 (17:05):
Dinner or something. Right, he had a company or something.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
No, we did, but just Brady came in hot from
golfing and turned the whole entire He turned the whole
hotel lobby into it to a hotel.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
Q from the course.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Still he was apologizing for how bad he played. It
just went downhill from there. Everybody was just getting in
on it.
Speaker 8 (17:31):
I bet, I bet you get loose. Brady doesn't. He
doesn't let it lose too much. But when he goes,
he goes.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
I never experienced it. That was the first time. But
I wasn't going to let my bro go on his own.
So we went ahead and did it, and we did
it right there a whole bunch. Hey, Pete, before my
last question to you, the game's coming up now, do
you think they will be as competitive as the ones
we just saw, because I kind of felt like outside
(17:58):
of the New England game, Uh, these games were some really,
really fine games that we saw being played, and we
didn't get the benefit of that during the regular season
very often.
Speaker 8 (18:11):
No, I look, we had a great playoff. First round
of the playoffs is a fantastic even in the New
England game, it was it was you know, it wasn't
offensively pretty, but it was, you know, a close game
for most of that game. But uh, yeah, I do
because I don't think anybody's any good. I say it
all the time.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
I don't think about default. It's going to be a
good playoff. About Default.
Speaker 8 (18:30):
It's a great and you know what, that's not a
bad thing. Everybody, you know it. Look, we've had great
playoffs so far because nobody's really that good. Think about
the teams. You thought the Rams are going to go
in and whack Carolina.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
They didn't.
Speaker 8 (18:41):
They have flaws. But do they have flaws? They have
flaws of the secondary. They don't run that well, they're
not a fast team. The secondary gives up a lot
of big plays. You go around the league, every single
team you can do that, and you know, Buffalo, Josh
Allen superman. But what about the other side of the ball.
They don't stop the run. Well, you know what that's
gonna be a problem Denver, They're not. They don't run
the ball very well, so maybe it's not gonna be
a problem. I mean, you can go around the league
(19:01):
and do that. But that's why the games have been
so good, because they're so competitive, and it not nobody
is that good. And I think the next round will
show you the same thing. The forty nine ers. Can
they go win at Seattle? Yeah? Why not? Why can't they?
There's always the X factor, the Sam Darnold factor. Sure
they can go win up there. So I think everybody's
flawed and I think that's gonna make for great games.
(19:23):
So Yes, to answer your question, I think this week
is gonna goose last week.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Can I ask one more question before jonas you ask
where I think you're to go?
Speaker 2 (19:33):
What open vacancy? I'm gonna ask this in two ways.
What open vacancy right now for head coaches? Makes the
most sense for John Harbaugh? And if you had your pick,
where would you go?
Speaker 8 (19:47):
Giants?
Speaker 5 (19:50):
Why?
Speaker 8 (19:50):
I think when you look at the Giants.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Cam Scataboo ariz So hold on, are you saying that
because of horrorball too?
Speaker 3 (19:56):
So you'd pick that and you think Harball will go there?
Speaker 8 (19:59):
Yes, yeah, and here's why. Okay, whether I think Jackson
Dark can be the future. So you have a quarterback,
I also think you get neighbors back. Let's not forget
that he's a star receiver. Your offensive left tackle is
good player. You still need some upgrades on the offensive line.
But you go to the defense. You've got a ton
of guys that can play on that defensive line, tons
of them. And I think somebody, the right coach comes
(20:21):
in there and it gets mister Carter all and going
in the right direction. He's going to be a star.
So you have talent on that team. You have pass rushers,
and you have a quarterback, and you have a left
tackle on a star wide receiver. Why wouldn't you want
that job? Plus it's New York. I'm taking that on.
Everybody always talks about, oh you go to New York,
how can you handle New York? Bring me give me that.
(20:42):
I want that. He can give it all to me.
I'm going to handle it better than anybody's ever handled
a five in that situation. I think John Harbolton around
the league long enough that he could handle it. So
I think that's the best job for him. You guys agree,
I mean, I think that's number one on my list.
I want to be the coach of the Giants.
Speaker 7 (21:00):
Well, I mean, what do you think because in Green Bay,
you know, there's the buzz that Matt Leafloor could be
on his way.
Speaker 8 (21:08):
Out and I know, well that hasn't happened yet.
Speaker 7 (21:10):
Well, but let's say that opened because I don't know
what your thought was on the Packers Bears game, but
that was an all time gag and a half by
Green Yeah, and it's like the second time and in
a few weeks against your biggest rival that that's happened.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
And I just wonder, what do you think happens?
Speaker 7 (21:29):
Is there a change made there based on all the
reports and all the smoke that's out there with Matt.
Speaker 8 (21:33):
Laflor Well you also, again, like I said before, look
at all the guys that are off that team, and
then you're and did they handle the second half poorly? Absolutely?
I thought they should have taken the ball in the
second half and been as aggressive as they were in
the first half and go end the game. You know,
they go up and get a touchdown on the opening
drive that the second half and the game's over. They
(21:54):
did they lolleygag through that, and I thought that was
part of the problem. But the other part of that
is the idiot kicker makes his kicks and you win
the game, or you at least you in a position
to win the game, I mean. And so he missed
one at the end of the half that would have
given you more momentum going into the locker room and
gave them some hope. So there's a lot of things
that play. So did la Floor handle it well by
(22:15):
the way he played the second half? No? Has he
blown leaves in the past. Absolutely? Does he have outs
in reasoning not to fire him. Yeah, No Parsons, no Craft,
no Tom, no Wyot. And you know, particularly Parsons, you
trade the value that you did to.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Go get him.
Speaker 8 (22:31):
That's the game he's deciding. Caleb Williams is scrambling around,
he's putting them on the ground. Game over. Well, he
went there, and so when he's not there, I think
that gives them a little bit of.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
An out, all right.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Pete LeVar used your quote earlier he said he was
on the right side of a bunch of bets that
didn't turn out well for him. Which one was it
for you this weekend? Which which one were you on
the wrong side of the Packers.
Speaker 8 (22:55):
The Packers, there's no business losing that game. None zero.
I mean, you can't blow that lead in that environment.
You're done. They're cooking on offense, and they got too
they got tooth conservative. I thought the second half played
not to lose rather than to win. And when you
play not to lose rather than win, what ultimately happens
you'll lose. And that's exactly what happened, particularly when you
got a knucklehead kick or can't make a kick.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Now, Pete, are you already eliminated from your picks this year?
Did you get your ass kicked again?
Speaker 4 (23:21):
No?
Speaker 8 (23:21):
But I'll tell you what I was. I'm winning across
the board and I went oh for five this week
for five?
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Peter, are you hip and hit? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Because I mean we should have been five and oh
that's why we were on the right side of those bets,
because we should have been.
Speaker 8 (23:40):
You weren't getting the Rams. That was never You were
never winning that one. That was a bad pick, that
the Rams played bad. You weren't winning that given can
or whatever it was, No.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Way, but did you picked you laid the points with
the Rams?
Speaker 5 (23:52):
Yeah, so you were wrong I was.
Speaker 8 (23:57):
Way wrong, Brady, I can say you could never say.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
Well, I mean, can you say it?
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Brady?
Speaker 5 (24:04):
Yeah, yeah, if you heard that, you heard that, Pete?
Speaker 3 (24:09):
He said, oh buddy, he said, no, that's not true.
I owe a huge apology to you.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
And now I'm to the point where, like, if you're
an Indiana fan, because I've like, I can't I have
to pick the other team because now I feel like
my disbelief in what they're doing, because it truly is
unbelievable to me, Like I can't pick them to win
the national championship now, and.
Speaker 8 (24:34):
Plus the number one football they're the number one football
program in Indiana.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Now, you can't deny that.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
It's one hundred percent true right now.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Which, by the way, Notre Dame is the only team
to beat them in the past twenty games. Whatever it's been.
Speaker 8 (24:48):
So, by the way, yeah, that, that and that and
something else will get you nothing. I mean, by the way, yeah, yeah, Pee,
how does that happen? Explain to me how that happens?
How does that Indiana who's the worst football program in
the history mankind.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Are you believing that there's some conspiracy theories out there, Pete,
I'm sure you've heard about him.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
You're all over social.
Speaker 8 (25:11):
Good yet whatever it is, move that to the desert,
please the desert.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
See this is the BSU poll.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
You say you don't believe the conspiracy theories, and then
you're literally bringing up on that's on social media right
now and you're buying into it.
Speaker 8 (25:26):
Well, I mean, what's the conspiracy theory? The whole thing,
the whole college is bye bye bye bye bye. I mean, look,
I'm not so sure it's not happening, you boys. I'm
not so sure it's not happening in the desert. By
the way, they got like three of the top wide
receivers in the portal. I mean, I'm not sure that's
not happening. And they got a bunch of offensive linements. They
might be doing it too. Bus everybody at Indiana, isn't
(25:48):
they like twenty eight years old and they have children,
don't they? The players on.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Twenty three, Which here's the thing. Every BYU team's always
got a huge average age, Like if that's if that's
the case, they should have been winning that actual championships for years.
Speaker 8 (26:02):
But I mean there they are experienced, and they're older players,
and they're good players. I mean, and he's a great coach.
They're never at a position, and.
Speaker 7 (26:08):
They have really strong Wi Fi there. From what I hear,
they're able to Yeah, that's I mean, listen, that's what
I heard. They're able to get some stuff done.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
You know.
Speaker 8 (26:17):
But seriously, why they're they're They're well coached. There's and
I'm not just talking about the head coach across. You
could watch that team. They don't make mistakes. They're so
well coached, and that shows up. And you have good players,
you have a quarterback who's accurate, and you're gonna win
some games. But come on, that turned around something, doesn't it?
Just I mean, yeah, something's not do they do? They
(26:39):
have a big, big pool of money break?
Speaker 1 (26:43):
I mean they brought some money in. I mean, is
Cuban brought some money in? Yeah, they brought some money in.
Speaker 8 (26:51):
I mean they got to have a big nil pool.
I would imagine, I would I mean, that would would
have been cost them.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
I mean they took the center from from Notre Dame.
Speaker 8 (26:59):
Notre Dame. Yeah, what did what did Mendoza cost him? Brady?
Do you have any idea?
Speaker 5 (27:04):
Not sure? Yeah, I'm not sure. Yeah, Brady, Brady went,
do we have a.
Speaker 8 (27:10):
We went to another radio.
Speaker 5 (27:16):
All right, that's half of you, Pete Frisco. Pete.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
We always that'll be enough of you, sir, Pete.
Speaker 7 (27:23):
Always appreciate it. Thank you for the time, and we

Speaker 3 (27:27):
There he is. You got it.
Speaker 7 (27:29):
Love to be senior NFL columnist for CBS Sports, CBS
Sports h Q and him out.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
I want to talk to him from a landline.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Yeah, he's got the definitely hung that bad boy up.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
He'll first off, he if he appreciates, you know, good radio,
good connection.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
That is old school is hal they used to be.
Did you hear him?
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Oh, when you got upset with somebody hung up on him,
that's when hey up meant hanging up like you hit
the button connect anyway.
Speaker 7 (28:05):
We could pull that back at some point later in
the show. Wow, man, you risk go hanging up the
lamb so much fun if people are missing out, man
enough with this red button stuff. You had just slam
that phone and it's best when you miss it on
the side to where it's gotta like rattle. Yeah. Interesting,
(28:28):
all right. So then coming up next here though, we
are going to take a by the.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Way, that's a dusty ass phone. The cockroaches will clean
it all right.
Speaker 7 (28:39):
Comeing up next, we are going to uh, we are
going to get a glimpse of what could be the
final chapter of a Hall of Fame career.
Speaker 5 (28:49):
And that's yours here on fs R.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Okay, okay, okay, listen up, everyone. We told you pizza
Hut before the first hut. Get the pizza before the
first hut.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Pizza.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
I mean, that's what I'm trying to tell y'all. Get
some pizza Hut before the first hut by the quarterback. Yeah,
and it's still going and it's going strong. And don't
forget to order Pizza Hut before the first hut is yelled,
because well, you get an opportunity to make moves and
get a hold of. What I would consider to say
(29:28):
or advise you to do is get the big New Yorker.
I mean, it's their biggest pizza for the biggest games.
And we all know that the biggest games are taking
place now. I mean there's a big game tonight, there's
a big game, Big games this upcoming weekend. And well,
if you're going to watch a massive game, why not
have massive slices. I mean that just seems to make sense.
(29:50):
And if you're a big pizza person, you know that
and why slices are really really really good, so you know,
and you can get at a really really great price.
I mean, think about a massive pizza for only ten bucksesh,
So before the first Hut, order the biggest pizza for
(30:12):
the biggest games, grab the big New Yorker. You're set
for the whole game. What's your game day pizza order?
I don't know, but you do? Do you fold your
slices like a New Yorker? I ain't from New York,
but I do fold my slices. Actually I like to
grab two's pizzas two slices and put them together. Actually
I like take them bad boys up. But a to
(30:33):
each his own. Uh.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
I like to make mine thick. I don't know why.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Anyway, for the big games, as we get, don't forget
to pizza before the Hut, order the big New Yorker earlier.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
Don't wait, it's just ten bucks.

as a news.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
Like real high level where.
Speaker 7 (34:03):
He's a new member of the show, when did you
figure out that that was Lorena?
Speaker 1 (34:08):
That did Brady or did you even know that that
was Lorena? I figured it out.
Speaker 5 (34:13):
Probably after the first week or so.
Speaker 6 (34:15):
Okay, could you tell did she tell you or did
you just know because the boys?
Speaker 5 (34:21):
Okay, you told me. I didn't know. I didn't figure
that out.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
Oh yeah, I was just saying, Okay.
Speaker 6 (34:26):
N I don't brag about it, but I am pretty
proud of it.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
I will.
Speaker 6 (34:30):
I will say that.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
I mean, you're proud of the fact that you can
make those types of sounds for a drought. Okay, I
mean you got high expectations on yourself, don't.
Speaker 5 (34:40):
You go.
Speaker 6 (34:46):
There's there's good money and audio book those type of
you're walking far.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Yeah, no doubt, pretty mother effort. Whatever we like a
help you out there pally, which I could get somebody
to make that type of sound for me. I get,
um joking, Yeah, well I ain't pretty sex.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
There there you go.
Speaker 5 (35:19):
All right, So, uh so that's where we're at tonight.
We're going.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Can I say this, By the way, I had one
of the most unfortunate things take place over the course
of the last few days.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
Oh so DP asked me to come on the show Friday.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
And obviously I do so because I love Dan, but
I also want to help promote our show and all
that stuff. And so I go on and we get
in this discussion about you know, Mendoza and Dante Moore,
and I just kind of openly said, like watching the tape,
if I'm projecting, I feel like Dante.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Moore's a little higher ceiling, you know, at the next level.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
And I wasn't taking anything away from what Bernana Mendoz
has done, you know. I said, he's the heisman. He's
been and he's had better tape this year. He's got
the best tape of anyone obviously, And it's one of
those deals where whoever picks them is going to be
basing it off of like okay, like when I when
you watch Dante Moore. It's hard not to see he
has a little bigger arm. He's he can make a
greater variety of throws as far as arm angles things
(36:15):
like that. You see more of the side arm, more
of off platform throws. He's a good athlete and all that,
but it's hard to deny the tape and looking at like, hey, dude,
he's he's got the best tape of anyone, Like he's
stepped up every single time and stuff in the moments.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
So we have this.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
Discussion, and of course it gets no traction, but of
course the game goes the way it goes.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
And everyone's like, oh, what an idiot, What an idiot?
Speaker 2 (36:43):
How would you take for how would you take Dante
more of a Fernando Mendoza.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
I's like, okay, come, everyone relaxed.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
It was before the game we talked about the fact
there's a couple more games left this season and all that,
and I thought Oregon second time around would have an
advantage and maybe, you know, maybe.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
Win and I or at least cover, which obviously that
didn't happen.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
So it uh, you know, for whatever reason, it's just
getting absolutely pulled apart, which I'm like, this wasn't after
the game. This is obviously before the game. I don't
think anyone would make that assessment before. Yeah, but excuse
me afterwards.
Speaker 5 (37:16):
After watching that.
Speaker 7 (37:17):
But you get these candy asses who stand on the
sidelines and they don't have to actually give opinions on stuff,
and they wait around to see who does. And then
when something you know goes the way that it goes
and everybody jumps on, it's just like that's that's the
way of social media. And there's probably a lot of
those people who are going to think that that that
you know maybe took place afterwards, so they'll just see
a headline.
Speaker 5 (37:37):
It's like, that's why.
Speaker 7 (37:39):
It's now to the point to where whenever I see
a headline I will literally find the original article, like
not the one that's been pulled from somewhere else, and
one that's been pulled because so many times there's just
misleading stuff to grab a quote or to grab your
attention and grab the interest.
Speaker 5 (37:57):
And that's just the way this stuff works.
Speaker 8 (37:58):
Now.
Speaker 5 (37:59):
I'm with you, man, Hey you got a friend to me,
I'll tell you that you got a friend in me.
You got a friend in me. People giving him a
hard time you can.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
You got John, and I'm a vampire, and you got
a friend Indy.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
The last thing I say is, uh, it's January twelfth.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
The franchise or excuse the transfer window closes on the sixteenth.
Now there is an extra window that opens up for
the teams playing the championship window in college football, which
that would be like the January twenty through the twenty fourth.
But look for a lot of action to start being
announced this week for the majority of those what six
(38:43):
thousand or however many players when the transfer portal, A
lot of those deals will start to.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
Get announced this week. Now I'm done, Okay.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
I know there's a lot of people panicking, but just
sit tight. You'll start hearing stuff, all right.
Speaker 7 (38:56):
So this, according to Adam Schefter, before we get to break,
the Packers are now expected to try to work out
a deal in the coming days to keep head coach
Matt laflorin Green Bay, per sources. So some optimism there.
Looks like maybe he'll be back. So much for the
the Upper Peninsula home of John Harbaugh.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
Really, uh yeah, I guess that wasn't going to do it, huh.
Speaker 7 (39:22):
All right, So up next we are going to close
up shop on this football recap Monday.

Bears Packers game. There was fans in the stands that
were great in cheese. I'm sure there was cheese everywhere. Well,

those awesome cheese grater hats the Bear's quarterback was wearing
after the game, well you're gonna have to wait till

little weird. Yeah, let's just get weird.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
Come no, that's good.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Come on?
Speaker 3 (00:52):
What about that college fall ploff bracket bar?
Speaker 5 (00:54):
Oh it's good? That ain't good?
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (00:59):
I mean if I was car it'd be good. But
you had to just go ahead and.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Is excited about that?
Speaker 1 (01:07):
If I say something, then you're going to be like,
why would you say that?
Speaker 5 (01:11):
You get involved? You grin you in.
Speaker 6 (01:15):
Number one?
Speaker 5 (01:15):
Okay, you did it twice, you doubled down.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Yeah, I's excited about it, all right?
Speaker 5 (01:20):
Why are you so excited about I'm going to pay
next year.
Speaker 6 (01:23):
I'm going to be in the Bracket Challenge and I'm
going to be number one.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Do you feel like you're number one right now in
the Bracket Challenge this year?
Speaker 3 (01:31):
No?
Speaker 5 (01:32):
Personally, I'm rooting for Andy Furman. That's my guy. That's
my guy. Who are you rooting for? Lorena?
Speaker 6 (01:39):
Brian knows in fourth place? I would like him to
get up to second.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
Get up to second? Yes, who do you want to win?
Speaker 6 (01:46):
We'll keep carrying first place.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
We'll keep carrying first.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Okay, all right, all right? Why only second?
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Because because that would mean that Carrie wouldn't be in
first place.
Speaker 6 (01:59):
Oh well, Brian doesn't want to win. He just wants
to know good accolades.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
He doesn't want to win. Okay, what that story? I mean,
let's talk about it now.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Jok it. Let's keep let's keep it moving, let's keep
it on.

Phil golds Prisco.
Speaker 7 (02:48):
Pete Prisco, senior NFL columnist for CBS Sports, CBS Sports
HQ Analysts. You can get him on x at Prisco
CBS and he is very active because uh Pete is
Aaron f Then first ball, good morning, and second, is
there an epidemic in the NFL when it comes to
coaches not taking points?
Speaker 8 (03:07):
Absolutely, no question about it. And good morning fellas. And
look the bottom line. The bottom line is how many
teams look at their game. And for example, Jacksonville, if
they had kicked their field goal early in the game
to make it a seven point lead when you're at
home in the playoffs, they wouldn't they wouldn't have needed
that field goal late. And you go to San Francisco.
(03:30):
San Francisco kicked the field goal on fourth down in
the first half and late in the game that meant
that the Eagles needed to go get a touchdown. The
bottom line is, these guys are out of control and
I call it Dan Dan campbell itis, and at some
point the disease needs to be stopped.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Oh damn man, Pete, Pete, how you're the mayor of Jacksonville.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
How do you you summarize that that game?
Speaker 2 (03:54):
It's just a great game back and forth or are
you just going to play it all on the field goals?
And also if the uh okay, if you're in the
postgame press pool, would you have just complimented Liam Cohen
postgame or would you have asked them some questions?
Speaker 8 (04:10):
Well, I wouldn't. I wouldn't have complimented him first and foremost.
I would have probably asked why he went for it
on fourth down and got an explanation on that. But
you saw that that obviously that video, and I don't
understand why somebody would do that in that environment. But
I also don't understand why everybody gets so bothered by
(04:31):
it either. Look, I get it. I've worked in the
profession for a long time. I'm a professional. I wouldn't
have done that.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Well, but you're not supposed to sound like a fan
you're supposed to, you know, be objective and cover the team.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
I think that's why people have an issue with.
Speaker 8 (04:43):
It, right, I get it, But but why do uh,
why do we get so worked up over stuff like that?
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Though?
Speaker 8 (04:49):
Look, just okay, the lady had her moment. Move on,
That's all it is.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Hmm, Pete, These were to me some very very very
competitive games. I felt like the one that held the
most weight was on on Buffalo. What was What was
your take was that? Was that a big Like? Was
that the biggest game in terms of needing to win?
(05:16):
Maybe some would say Green Bay in Chicago. I wouldn't
be opposed to seeing the logic in that. What was
the one you were watching? You're like, man, there's a
lot of weight on this game.
Speaker 8 (05:27):
Well, I mean people put a lot of weight on
Josh Allen and to win that game because they keep
looking at the landscape and saying, there's no Lamar Jackson,
there's no Patrick Mahomes, there's no Joe Burrow. So if
he's not going to win it this year, when is he.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Going to win it?
Speaker 8 (05:38):
So? I think that put a lot on him. And
I could tell you that was the one thing that
Jackson was worried about if he's become superman in the moment,
and he did. He made the place when he had to,
But they didn't run the ball very well on Sunday,
and it was all about Josh Allen making those plays.
But I think that was you know, you go down
on the road in the postseason. When you're out on
the road in the postseedson, it's hard to win. And
(05:59):
he and now he's got to go back out on
the road again and it's going to be hard to win.
So you know, it's tough to win on the road.
Plus everybody always says, what if he won a game
in the playoffs, a big game in the playoffs and
he threw for one hundred and fourteen yards and you know,
two interceptions in the touchdowns, is that on him? Or
just like we penalize him for thirteen seconds in Kansas City,
(06:22):
is he responsible for not winning that game? He threw
five touchdown passes and they couldn't handle thirteen seconds back
in the day. But sometimes we put too much blame
on the quarterbacks and too much credit on the quarterbacks.
But the reality is he won, he moves on, and
now he's still got another chance to get the Super Bowl,
and I think it's entirely possible.
Speaker 7 (06:42):
Pete Prisco joining us here on Fox Sports Radio, senior
NFL columnist for CBS Sports, CBS Sports.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
HQ analysts, and again you get him on ax.
Speaker 7 (06:49):
At Prisco CBS. Pete, what's wrong with the Eagles?
Speaker 8 (06:55):
Well, offensively they're not very good. I mean you look
at that offense and you can't get any rhythm going,
and you can't get any idea of what they're doing.
Once they got the first down late in the game
and we were at the twenty something yard line, you
had three timeouts, you still could have run the ball.
Do you have to throw it four straight plays? You
(07:17):
had Barkley, he could rip off some long runs. You
didn't need to rush there, And I thought they panicked
in the moment. I think offensively they have no rhythm. Now,
guys have regressed. My lot has not been as good.
The left guard hasn't been as good, the center has
you know, isn't hasn't been as good as Chelsey over
the last couple of years. You know, the right guard
(07:37):
position wasn't as good as it was a year ago.
And they don't have Lane Johnson. So the offensive line
isn't as good, but I don't think they ever get
into any sort of rhythm. Every time you watch the Eagles,
don't you watch them and say, what the hell are
they doing? Why don't you just give it to Barkley
in that scenario? Why don't you do this? And you
know it doesn't help that AJ Brown's over there. Maybe
(07:58):
I saw him getting into with the coach. It looked
like they were complaining because he didn't die for the football.
I think that had something to do with it. But
it's not a good environment on offense and they need changes. Again.
I think the offensive coordinator is a big trouble.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Well, that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
We've kind of talked about that, and just the fact
that the offense teams to not have much of a
much creativity and much of a spark for a group
that's too talented, not too On the flip side of
the forty nine ers, have you seen this theory that's
been going around about the substation this whole like electromagnetic
pulse and things that could be impacting the San.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Francisco forty nine ers.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Would you be surprised if there was some correlation between
all these soft tissue injuries because they've been one of
the most banged up teams in the NFL and where
their practice facility is and obviously their stadium too, Like,
is that one of the least surprising things. Are you
just saying, ah, it's just a conspiracy theory. Are you
buying it?
Speaker 8 (08:53):
It's a conspiracy theory. Stop it. Look at look at
all the injuries around the league. Everybody's having these kind
of major injuries. Look at every team that's more than ever,
it's become a survival test now. I mean, you know,
we talk about them, but let's go to the Packers
and let's take away the guys that aren't on their
roster playing on Sunday. Michael on Saturday, Michael Parsons, you
know you need him sack bumble game over. That's what
(09:15):
he would do. You didn't have Tucker Craft, who was
on his way to becoming one of the better tight
ends in the league. He got there, the right starting
right tackles, the best offensive line of Zach Tom wasn't there,
Devonte Wyatt, their defensive tackle was the best run stuffer,
wasn't there. I mean, on and on it goes. Every
team in the league is that way, and you know
the forty nine ers have been hit by a ton
of them, because the Marquee guys have been hit too,
(09:36):
But so the Packers, so of other teams around the league.
So I don't Brady, where's that conspiracy theory coming from?
By the way, where's that coming from?
Speaker 3 (09:44):
I don't know. Some guy that has study on it.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Apparently he like measured the huh whatever the measurement.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
I don't know enough about it.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I just would have thought at you to see if
you couldn't shoot it down right away.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
But he did take a measurement. He did say this
is like.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Overly high or you know, probably for the betterment of
your health, which I did bring into question. A lot
of these facilities aren't necessarily built, uh in the like
safest or most environmentally friendly places like we used to
practice the rams. Apparently they're next to a toxic waste
site or a dump site. We're just south, we're just
(10:21):
northern south of that.
Speaker 8 (10:22):
So don't people live around the damn thing too?
Speaker 3 (10:25):
In some cases usually they're not supposed to be that close.
Speaker 8 (10:29):
So all we care about is the NFL is the
people being there, but not that people actually live around it.
I guess Crady. We people will find a conspiracy theory
in everything nowadays. It's unbelievable. How about guys just get hurt.
I mean that's the reality.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
It's just I think here's here's the pushback is they
don't practice as much as they used to.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
The off seasons are shorter.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Yes, there's one additional game, but you know that I've
been playing in preseason games now, So like, what do
you draw the conclusions.
Speaker 8 (10:56):
To whole issue? That's a whole other issue. And you
know I've shown this out there before. I think they're
over training. To be honest with you, I think I
think there's too much training going on because guys don't
get away, don't let their bodies heal.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
So what are they do in the off season?
Speaker 2 (11:10):
They go back smoke some smoke some SIGs and like
have a few pops back in the day.
Speaker 8 (11:15):
No, no, but Brady, you know how these guys they
it's they go from those those facilities right after the
season's over. Then they go back to the team and
work out, and then they and then they got OTA's
and they got mini camp and they're still in the
facility and then they get away for four four weeks
before the season starts, and what do they do for
those four weeks? Usually take one week of vacation, go somewhere,
and the rest of it they're training again. It's I
(11:38):
think some point you gotta you gotta pull it back
a little bit and let the body heal. I don't
think they let the body heel. Now, you know better
than me because you played. Bivarno's better than me because
he played. But the reality is, I think sometimes we
got to look at it. They sometimes overtrained.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
I feel like that's overstated.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Sometimes just because the person play doesn't mean they're aware
of what that's all about. But that that kind of
just that's the reason I'm kind of fallow over.
Speaker 8 (12:00):
Did you overtry? You know?
Speaker 1 (12:01):
If I'm being honest, I wouldn't know if I did
or if I didn't, You know what I mean, Like,
I don't know, And it's a curious it's a curious conversation.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Can I ask this.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Though, like, don't you feel like you got to keep
your body in that shape or condition? Because I also
feel like there's a significant thought to if you're out
of shape, you got to get back into shape.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Injuries coming along with that.
Speaker 8 (12:25):
No, I get it. I get it, Brady, But I'm
talking about like they go do the high intensity training
at the facilities and you know where they pay big money,
like you know, talking about the Bomba Ridos of the
world and all those.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Places, and don't don't be.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Don't be you know, sitting there and being poorly a
val Pang. It's a fellow pflo Italian bang No.
Speaker 8 (12:44):
I think those facilitiated great, but I think at some
point you got to let your body rest. And staying
in shape is one thing, but pushing yourself to the
point where you know when you get back to the team, Brady,
when you used to have, you know, the workout time
in the NFL. You come back and a lot of
guys were not in great shape, to be honest about it,
they weren't any best shape.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
No, probably not. But I didn't play that long ago.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Like most guys were still relatively in pretty good shape.
Speaker 8 (13:10):
Didn't you play like in the nineteen eighties. Isn't that
a Pete?
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Most most guys would come back this is this is
where I love Pete because I know where he's gonna
go here. Most guys would come back from one of
those facilities where they're training and they got the smoothie
and they got you know, all the stuff that they're done,
and then another smoothie.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
You know, like they they had all the smooth as
they were taking so they're in great.
Speaker 8 (13:31):
Shape, right, Yeah, ferries and instead of going out and
having a few beers and some wings and they're the
first guy that they're the first guy to pull the hamstring.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Pete could never get past the smoothie thing.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
I think that was like a Chip Kelly Philadelphia Eagles
thing that became.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Yeah, that's why I'm bringing up.
Speaker 8 (13:51):
I'm okay, I'm okay. Look I like a smoothie too.
Everybody likes the smoothie, but they act like it was
the most innovative, cutting edge.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Thing in the world to be a break Pete.
Speaker 7 (14:00):
Uh, you know, maybe some of these athletes they don't
know which way to go because if they overtrained, you
criticize them, and then if they're Vita Vea, you rip
them apart on the air. That's a great point, Jonas, like,
how do you feel about that?
Speaker 5 (14:14):
Fat shame them? How you do that in staying.
Speaker 8 (14:18):
In shape and being uh you know, working out to
the point where you're physically mauling yourself. Nine months out
of the year is two different things, you know that.
Come on, there's different there's different levels of it.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
And by the way, you moved gold posts sometimes, Pete,
there are lots of There are lots.
Speaker 8 (14:34):
Of skinny people aren't in.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Shape, by the way, there there are there certainly what
can I can?
Speaker 3 (14:41):
I ask you to name one?
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Oh God, huh, name one?
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Believe me?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Go go look around you look that you know Name
someone from Name someone from the CBS office.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
We both know air Mount.
Speaker 8 (14:56):
I'm not naming the names from my office, by the way, Brady,
speaking of my office, I got to tell you this story.
You will be so proud of this, and I'm so
happy about it. One of our guys was at a
thrift store or something yesterday during the game. I don't
know who, one of our producers, and he text he
texts Jack a picture of something in the thrift store
(15:19):
and you know what, you know what it was? It
was a Quinn Brown's jersey, and I go, you I
want it now. I zeld it was on sale with
fifty bucks, and I zeld them the fifty bucks and
by Tuesday, I will have myself up Brady. Quinn Brown.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
That's pretty awesome, Pete. I love how you just kept
the market value of that jersey up. Thank you for
fifty dollars.
Speaker 8 (15:45):
You are going to find that for me, So man,
I can't wait to get you to I might. You
guys are going to be the super Bowl, right?
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Yes? Can I can I tell you what the inscription
is gonna say?
Speaker 5 (15:54):
Pete?
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Or do you want to be surprised?
Speaker 8 (15:56):
Don't want to be surprised, But but I will tell
you because I usually come fit in with you guys
at the super Bowl for a little while. Yes, I'm
wearing that that day, Pete.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Here's the problem.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
You're gonna have to get your ass up early, and
no one's gonna be there to see it.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
Besides, you did it last year. I mean I guess
we were in New Orleans.
Speaker 8 (16:17):
Wait a second, you're on the West coast.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
Yeah, yeah, have an hour three, Just come on hour three.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
That's by the way, Pete, Pete, how hungover were this
past this past year?
Speaker 8 (16:29):
I mean, I mean I got drunk off of war
that day.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
Awf of me.
Speaker 8 (16:39):
I think you were. I think you were all really bad.
But I think LeVar took the cake. So that's why
I was clo and I was closed to.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Sleep in segment.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
I was hurting that I thought hurt was puke.
Speaker 8 (16:56):
Yeah, I was a good Yeah, Brady, come to say it,
you're all pretty bad. You're right, it was.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
It was pretty bad. It was a massacred.
Speaker 8 (17:05):
Dinner or something. Right, he had a company or something.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
No, we did, but just Brady came in hot from
golfing and turned the whole entire He turned the whole
hotel lobby into it to a hotel.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
Q from the course.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Still he was apologizing for how bad he played. It
just went downhill from there. Everybody was just getting in
on it.
Speaker 8 (17:31):
I bet, I bet you get loose. Brady doesn't. He
doesn't let it lose too much. But when he goes,
he goes.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
I never experienced it. That was the first time. But
I wasn't going to let my bro go on his own.
So we went ahead and did it, and we did
it right there a whole bunch. Hey, Pete, before my
last question to you, the game's coming up now, do
you think they will be as competitive as the ones
we just saw, because I kind of felt like outside
(17:58):
of the New England game, Uh, these games were some really,
really fine games that we saw being played, and we
didn't get the benefit of that during the regular season
very often.
Speaker 8 (18:11):
No, I look, we had a great playoff. First round
of the playoffs is a fantastic even in the New
England game, it was it was you know, it wasn't
offensively pretty, but it was, you know, a close game
for most of that game. But uh, yeah, I do
because I don't think anybody's any good. I say it
all the time.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
I don't think about default. It's going to be a
good playoff. About Default.
Speaker 8 (18:30):
It's a great and you know what, that's not a
bad thing. Everybody, you know it. Look, we've had great
playoffs so far because nobody's really that good. Think about
the teams. You thought the Rams are going to go
in and whack Carolina.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
They didn't.
Speaker 8 (18:41):
They have flaws. But do they have flaws? They have
flaws of the secondary. They don't run that well, they're
not a fast team. The secondary gives up a lot
of big plays. You go around the league, every single
team you can do that, and you know, Buffalo, Josh
Allen superman. But what about the other side of the ball.
They don't stop the run. Well, you know what that's
gonna be a problem Denver, They're not. They don't run
the ball very well, so maybe it's not gonna be
a problem. I mean, you can go around the league
(19:01):
and do that. But that's why the games have been
so good, because they're so competitive, and it not nobody
is that good. And I think the next round will
show you the same thing. The forty nine ers. Can
they go win at Seattle? Yeah? Why not? Why can't they?
There's always the X factor, the Sam Darnold factor. Sure
they can go win up there. So I think everybody's
flawed and I think that's gonna make for great games.
(19:23):
So Yes, to answer your question, I think this week
is gonna goose last week.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Can I ask one more question before jonas you ask
where I think you're to go?
Speaker 2 (19:33):
What open vacancy? I'm gonna ask this in two ways.
What open vacancy right now for head coaches? Makes the
most sense for John Harbaugh? And if you had your pick,
where would you go?
Speaker 8 (19:47):
Giants?
Speaker 5 (19:50):
Why?
Speaker 8 (19:50):
I think when you look at the Giants.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Cam Scataboo ariz So hold on, are you saying that
because of horrorball too?
Speaker 3 (19:56):
So you'd pick that and you think Harball will go there?
Speaker 8 (19:59):
Yes, yeah, and here's why. Okay, whether I think Jackson
Dark can be the future. So you have a quarterback,
I also think you get neighbors back. Let's not forget
that he's a star receiver. Your offensive left tackle is
good player. You still need some upgrades on the offensive line.
But you go to the defense. You've got a ton
of guys that can play on that defensive line, tons
of them. And I think somebody, the right coach comes
(20:21):
in there and it gets mister Carter all and going
in the right direction. He's going to be a star.
So you have talent on that team. You have pass rushers,
and you have a quarterback, and you have a left
tackle on a star wide receiver. Why wouldn't you want
that job? Plus it's New York. I'm taking that on.
Everybody always talks about, oh you go to New York,
how can you handle New York? Bring me give me that.
(20:42):
I want that. He can give it all to me.
I'm going to handle it better than anybody's ever handled
a five in that situation. I think John Harbolton around
the league long enough that he could handle it. So
I think that's the best job for him. You guys agree,
I mean, I think that's number one on my list.
I want to be the coach of the Giants.
Speaker 7 (21:00):
Well, I mean, what do you think because in Green Bay,
you know, there's the buzz that Matt Leafloor could be
on his way.
Speaker 8 (21:08):
Out and I know, well that hasn't happened yet.
Speaker 7 (21:10):
Well, but let's say that opened because I don't know
what your thought was on the Packers Bears game, but
that was an all time gag and a half by
Green Yeah, and it's like the second time and in
a few weeks against your biggest rival that that's happened.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
And I just wonder, what do you think happens?
Speaker 7 (21:29):
Is there a change made there based on all the
reports and all the smoke that's out there with Matt.
Speaker 8 (21:33):
Laflor Well you also, again, like I said before, look
at all the guys that are off that team, and
then you're and did they handle the second half poorly? Absolutely?
I thought they should have taken the ball in the
second half and been as aggressive as they were in
the first half and go end the game. You know,
they go up and get a touchdown on the opening
drive that the second half and the game's over. They
(21:54):
did they lolleygag through that, and I thought that was
part of the problem. But the other part of that
is the idiot kicker makes his kicks and you win
the game, or you at least you in a position
to win the game, I mean. And so he missed
one at the end of the half that would have
given you more momentum going into the locker room and
gave them some hope. So there's a lot of things
that play. So did la Floor handle it well by
(22:15):
the way he played the second half? No? Has he
blown leaves in the past. Absolutely? Does he have outs
in reasoning not to fire him. Yeah, No Parsons, no Craft,
no Tom, no Wyot. And you know, particularly Parsons, you
trade the value that you did to.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Go get him.
Speaker 8 (22:31):
That's the game he's deciding. Caleb Williams is scrambling around,
he's putting them on the ground. Game over. Well, he
went there, and so when he's not there, I think
that gives them a little bit of.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
An out, all right.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Pete LeVar used your quote earlier he said he was
on the right side of a bunch of bets that
didn't turn out well for him. Which one was it
for you this weekend? Which which one were you on
the wrong side of the Packers.
Speaker 8 (22:55):
The Packers, there's no business losing that game. None zero.
I mean, you can't blow that lead in that environment.
You're done. They're cooking on offense, and they got too
they got tooth conservative. I thought the second half played
not to lose rather than to win. And when you
play not to lose rather than win, what ultimately happens
you'll lose. And that's exactly what happened, particularly when you
got a knucklehead kick or can't make a kick.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Now, Pete, are you already eliminated from your picks this year?
Did you get your ass kicked again?
Speaker 4 (23:21):
No?
Speaker 8 (23:21):
But I'll tell you what I was. I'm winning across
the board and I went oh for five this week
for five?
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Peter, are you hip and hit? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Because I mean we should have been five and oh
that's why we were on the right side of those bets,
because we should have been.
Speaker 8 (23:40):
You weren't getting the Rams. That was never You were
never winning that one. That was a bad pick, that
the Rams played bad. You weren't winning that given can
or whatever it was, No.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Way, but did you picked you laid the points with
the Rams?
Speaker 5 (23:52):
Yeah, so you were wrong I was.
Speaker 8 (23:57):
Way wrong, Brady, I can say you could never say.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
Well, I mean, can you say it?
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Brady?
Speaker 5 (24:04):
Yeah, yeah, if you heard that, you heard that, Pete?
Speaker 3 (24:09):
He said, oh buddy, he said, no, that's not true.
I owe a huge apology to you.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
And now I'm to the point where, like, if you're
an Indiana fan, because I've like, I can't I have
to pick the other team because now I feel like
my disbelief in what they're doing, because it truly is
unbelievable to me, Like I can't pick them to win
the national championship now, and.
Speaker 8 (24:34):
Plus the number one football they're the number one football
program in Indiana.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Now, you can't deny that.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
It's one hundred percent true right now.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Which, by the way, Notre Dame is the only team
to beat them in the past twenty games. Whatever it's been.
Speaker 8 (24:48):
So, by the way, yeah, that, that and that and
something else will get you nothing. I mean, by the way, yeah, yeah, Pee,
how does that happen? Explain to me how that happens?
How does that Indiana who's the worst football program in
the history mankind.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Are you believing that there's some conspiracy theories out there, Pete,
I'm sure you've heard about him.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
You're all over social.
Speaker 8 (25:11):
Good yet whatever it is, move that to the desert,
please the desert.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
See this is the BSU poll.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
You say you don't believe the conspiracy theories, and then
you're literally bringing up on that's on social media right
now and you're buying into it.
Speaker 8 (25:26):
Well, I mean, what's the conspiracy theory? The whole thing,
the whole college is bye bye bye bye bye. I mean, look,
I'm not so sure it's not happening, you boys. I'm
not so sure it's not happening in the desert. By
the way, they got like three of the top wide
receivers in the portal. I mean, I'm not sure that's
not happening. And they got a bunch of offensive linements. They
might be doing it too. Bus everybody at Indiana, isn't
(25:48):
they like twenty eight years old and they have children,
don't they? The players on.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Twenty three, Which here's the thing. Every BYU team's always
got a huge average age, Like if that's if that's
the case, they should have been winning that actual championships for years.
Speaker 8 (26:02):
But I mean there they are experienced, and they're older players,
and they're good players. I mean, and he's a great coach.
They're never at a position, and.
Speaker 7 (26:08):
They have really strong Wi Fi there. From what I hear,
they're able to Yeah, that's I mean, listen, that's what
I heard. They're able to get some stuff done.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
You know.
Speaker 8 (26:17):
But seriously, why they're they're They're well coached. There's and
I'm not just talking about the head coach across. You
could watch that team. They don't make mistakes. They're so
well coached, and that shows up. And you have good players,
you have a quarterback who's accurate, and you're gonna win
some games. But come on, that turned around something, doesn't it?
Just I mean, yeah, something's not do they do? They
(26:39):
have a big, big pool of money break?
Speaker 1 (26:43):
I mean they brought some money in. I mean, is
Cuban brought some money in? Yeah, they brought some money in.
Speaker 8 (26:51):
I mean they got to have a big nil pool.
I would imagine, I would I mean, that would would
have been cost them.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
I mean they took the center from from Notre Dame.
Speaker 8 (26:59):
Notre Dame. Yeah, what did what did Mendoza cost him? Brady?
Do you have any idea?
Speaker 5 (27:04):
Not sure? Yeah, I'm not sure. Yeah, Brady, Brady went,
do we have a.
Speaker 8 (27:10):
We went to another radio.
Speaker 5 (27:16):
All right, that's half of you, Pete Frisco. Pete.
Speaker 1 (27:19):

Sports h Q and him out.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
I want to talk to him from a landline.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Yeah, he's got the definitely hung that bad boy up.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
He'll first off, he if he appreciates, you know, good radio,
good connection.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
That is old school is hal they used to be.
Did you hear him?
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Oh, when you got upset with somebody hung up on him,
that's when hey up meant hanging up like you hit
the button connect anyway.
Speaker 7 (28:05):
We could pull that back at some point later in
the show. Wow, man, you risk go hanging up the
lamb so much fun if people are missing out, man
enough with this red button stuff. You had just slam
that phone and it's best when you miss it on
the side to where it's gotta like rattle. Yeah. Interesting,
(28:28):
all right. So then coming up next here though, we
are going to take a by the.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Way, that's a dusty ass phone. The cockroaches will clean
it all right.
Speaker 7 (28:39):
Comeing up next, we are going to uh, we are
going to get a glimpse of what could be the
final chapter of a Hall of Fame career.
Speaker 5 (28:49):
And that's yours here on fs R.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Okay, okay, okay, listen up, everyone. We told you pizza
Hut before the first hut. Get the pizza before the
first hut.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Pizza.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
I mean, that's what I'm trying to tell y'all. Get
some pizza Hut before the first hut by the quarterback. Yeah,
and it's still going and it's going strong. And don't
forget to order Pizza Hut before the first hut is yelled,
because well, you get an opportunity to make moves and
get a hold of. What I would consider to say
(29:28):
or advise you to do is get the big New Yorker.
I mean, it's their biggest pizza for the biggest games.
And we all know that the biggest games are taking
place now. I mean there's a big game tonight, there's
a big game, Big games this upcoming weekend. And well,
if you're going to watch a massive game, why not
have massive slices. I mean that just seems to make sense.
(29:50):
And if you're a big pizza person, you know that
and why slices are really really really good, so you know,
and you can get at a really really great price.
I mean, think about a massive pizza for only ten bucksesh,
So before the first Hut, order the biggest pizza for
(30:12):
the biggest games, grab the big New Yorker. You're set
for the whole game. What's your game day pizza order?
I don't know, but you do? Do you fold your
slices like a New Yorker? I ain't from New York,
but I do fold my slices. Actually I like to
grab two's pizzas two slices and put them together. Actually
I like take them bad boys up. But a to
(30:33):
each his own. Uh.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
I like to make mine thick. I don't know why.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Anyway, for the big games, as we get, don't forget
to pizza before the Hut, order the big New Yorker earlier.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
Don't wait, it's just ten bucks.

as a news.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
Like real high level where.
Speaker 7 (34:03):
He's a new member of the show, when did you
figure out that that was Lorena?
Speaker 1 (34:08):
That did Brady or did you even know that that
was Lorena? I figured it out.
Speaker 5 (34:13):
Probably after the first week or so.
Speaker 6 (34:15):
Okay, could you tell did she tell you or did
you just know because the boys?
Speaker 5 (34:21):
Okay, you told me. I didn't know. I didn't figure
that out.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
Oh yeah, I was just saying, Okay.
Speaker 6 (34:26):
N I don't brag about it, but I am pretty
proud of it.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
I will.
Speaker 6 (34:30):
I will say that.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
I mean, you're proud of the fact that you can
make those types of sounds for a drought. Okay, I
mean you got high expectations on yourself, don't.
Speaker 5 (34:40):
You go.
Speaker 6 (34:46):
There's there's good money and audio book those type of
you're walking far.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Yeah, no doubt, pretty mother effort. Whatever we like a
help you out there pally, which I could get somebody
to make that type of sound for me. I get,
um joking, Yeah, well I ain't pretty sex.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
There there you go.
Speaker 5 (35:19):
All right, So, uh so that's where we're at tonight.
We're going.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Can I say this, By the way, I had one
of the most unfortunate things take place over the course
of the last few days.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
Oh so DP asked me to come on the show Friday.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
And obviously I do so because I love Dan, but
I also want to help promote our show and all
that stuff. And so I go on and we get
in this discussion about you know, Mendoza and Dante Moore,
and I just kind of openly said, like watching the tape,
if I'm projecting, I feel like Dante.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Moore's a little higher ceiling, you know, at the next level.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
And I wasn't taking anything away from what Bernana Mendoz
has done, you know. I said, he's the heisman. He's
been and he's had better tape this year. He's got
the best tape of anyone obviously, And it's one of
those deals where whoever picks them is going to be
basing it off of like okay, like when I when
you watch Dante Moore. It's hard not to see he
has a little bigger arm. He's he can make a
greater variety of throws as far as arm angles things
(36:15):
like that. You see more of the side arm, more
of off platform throws. He's a good athlete and all that,
but it's hard to deny the tape and looking at like, hey, dude,
he's he's got the best tape of anyone, Like he's
stepped up every single time and stuff in the moments.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
So we have this.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
Discussion, and of course it gets no traction, but of
course the game goes the way it goes.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
And everyone's like, oh, what an idiot, What an idiot?
Speaker 2 (36:43):
How would you take for how would you take Dante
more of a Fernando Mendoza.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
I's like, okay, come, everyone relaxed.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
It was before the game we talked about the fact
there's a couple more games left this season and all that,
and I thought Oregon second time around would have an
advantage and maybe, you know, maybe.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
Win and I or at least cover, which obviously that
didn't happen.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
So it uh, you know, for whatever reason, it's just
getting absolutely pulled apart, which I'm like, this wasn't after
the game. This is obviously before the game. I don't
think anyone would make that assessment before. Yeah, but excuse
me afterwards.
Speaker 5 (37:16):
After watching that.
Speaker 7 (37:17):
But you get these candy asses who stand on the
sidelines and they don't have to actually give opinions on stuff,
and they wait around to see who does. And then
when something you know goes the way that it goes
and everybody jumps on, it's just like that's that's the
way of social media. And there's probably a lot of
those people who are going to think that that that
you know maybe took place afterwards, so they'll just see
a headline.
Speaker 5 (37:37):
It's like, that's why.
Speaker 7 (37:39):
It's now to the point to where whenever I see
a headline I will literally find the original article, like
not the one that's been pulled from somewhere else, and
one that's been pulled because so many times there's just
misleading stuff to grab a quote or to grab your
attention and grab the interest.
Speaker 5 (37:57):
And that's just the way this stuff works.
Speaker 8 (37:58):
Now.
Speaker 5 (37:59):
I'm with you, man, Hey you got a friend to me,
I'll tell you that you got a friend in me.
You got a friend in me. People giving him a
hard time you can.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
You got John, and I'm a vampire, and you got
a friend Indy.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
The last thing I say is, uh, it's January twelfth.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
The franchise or excuse the transfer window closes on the sixteenth.
Now there is an extra window that opens up for
the teams playing the championship window in college football, which
that would be like the January twenty through the twenty fourth.
But look for a lot of action to start being
announced this week for the majority of those what six
(38:43):
thousand or however many players when the transfer portal, A
lot of those deals will start to.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
Get announced this week. Now I'm done, Okay.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
I know there's a lot of people panicking, but just
sit tight. You'll start hearing stuff, all right.
Speaker 7 (38:56):
So this, according to Adam Schefter, before we get to break,
the Packers are now expected to try to work out
a deal in the coming days to keep head coach
Matt laflorin Green Bay, per sources. So some optimism there.
Looks like maybe he'll be back. So much for the
the Upper Peninsula home of John Harbaugh.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
Really, uh yeah, I guess that wasn't going to do it, huh.
Speaker 7 (39:22):
All right, So up next we are going to close
up shop on this football recap Monday.

huge thing of cheese. So let's pull out our cheese graders.
Oh my gosh, there was so much cheese at that
Bears Packers game. There was fans in the stands that
were great in cheese. I'm sure there was cheese everywhere. Well,
if you wanted to get your hands on one of
those awesome cheese grater hats the Bear's quarterback was wearing
after the game, well you're gonna have to wait till
(40:51):
late late February at the earliest to get one. I
tried to go get one for Jonas because his Bears.
Speaker 5 (40:57):
You know, for Jonas? Oh, yes, that who?

No, no, no, for Jonas for sure, because it's the
first time his bears have made it to the playoffs
and went like a century Damn.
Speaker 5 (41:12):
Right, you talk a gag gifts. I threw me off.

Yeah, I mean, but listen, you don't give it away
to somebody.
Speaker 6 (41:42):
