Begin Just search two pros FSR and subscribe. Feel good
night for the Pittsburgh Steelers. They get it done against
the Miami Dolphins. They end Miami's playoff hopes and the
Pittsburgh Steelers run away with that game last night. And
(01:56):
the Miami Dolphins looked like they weren't really interested in
being there at one point, just kind of seemed.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Uh DK Metcalf was out there looking like techmobile. Yeah
back in the day. Yeah, man, god, yeah, there's uh.
They were. It was poor tackling by by the Dolphins.
They were They were just able to out physical the Dolphins.
They were able to convert on on third downs in
(02:26):
the second half. Not early on, but in the second
half they were able to they converted on fourth downs.
I mean it was I thought it was a decisive
victory for for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Yeah, I think it
took you. It took my thought process into a more
positive thinking of of what what they could possibly do
(02:48):
in the postseason.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Now, what about Miami?
Speaker 3 (02:52):
What did that do for you?
Speaker 1 (02:54):
You've kind of I think you were one of the
first people that kind of kicked around the thought of,
you know, maybe Mike McDaniel it's gonna stick around.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
I think it's still it looks as it looks as
though this is the type of team that may possibly
need just a little bit more. I think he's by
himself time for another season. I don't. I don't think
unless they what there's two two three more games? R
(03:23):
two three games, unless there's just uh, just a total
collapse the rest of the way, you know, I think
that this is a team that you look at where
they're at, they have some pieces in play. Obviously they
have to decide the biggest question mark, which is the quarterback.
And I think that he gets another year as well,
(03:44):
obviously based upon all the contract talks surrounding, you know,
to us. So, yeah, but I think that you're you're
probably looking at this this team and saying, Okay, they're
bringing in a new GM and depending on how good
that g is, which you know, obviously I have a
hope and and wanting to see a certain guy in
(04:06):
particular get the job. But if he were to get
that job, I mean, he's built built winning teams before,
and he's got a great knowledge of talent. I think
that you bring in the right GM, they could be
one or two players away from being right back in
that competitive type of mode that they were in for
(04:27):
that one season. I'll say under Mike McDaniels. So, Mike McDaniel,
your guy, McDaniel, whatever, McDaniel, McDaniels, Mike McDaniel, your guy.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Spoke afterwards about the glasses on yeah, with his I mean, listen,
they're they're great shades.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I love them.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
But he spoke afterwards about the idea of benching to
and whether or not that would be a possibility at
some point this year.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
I think it would be very rash and uh short
sighted if I even tried.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
To tackle that option.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
You know, I think I have to look at the tape, uh,
and and I'll move on from there. But realistically, I'm
just supremely disappointed that, uh, you know, we couldn't come
out with a win here, Passing a lot of times
people just squarely put all the focus on on the quarterback.
I think there's a there's several times tonight that you know,
(05:32):
one in particular that stands out where I think he
was about to make the right read and you know
we uh, we had our eligible fallover. It's been a
multitude of things. It has to be better for us
to you know, be able to win games when you're
not owning time of possession or controlling controlling the game
(05:56):
on the ground. So it's not up to standard.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
So that was Mike McDaniel talking about there's more than
just the issues with the quarterback. They've got other issues
on offense. Tyreek Hills out Darren Waller was retired and
he's out there. He was bunch downs for him. Yeah,
like he's played. He's had moments this year where it's like,
all right, well that works.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
But it'd be a gorilla sitting on Mike's chest when
he's stressed out. He don't be sounded like he can
breathe that all when he be stressed out. You already Yeah,
well it's.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
A little cold out there, man.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
You know, we play one more time, play a little
bit of it. They play a little bit of his interview,
just a little bit does it play on it?
Speaker 4 (06:47):
I think it would be very rash and uh uh
short sighted if I even tried to tackle that option.
You know, I think I have to look at.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
The tape that ain't as but bro, that's stress. Yeah,
he got King Kong sitting on his jas Bro. That's
that stress.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Well look, I mean there is He's probably looking around
going if this doesn't if this doesn't play, if this doesn't.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Go, well, I'm not smoking for a new Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Like, and you've got to rely on a team that
has shown that you think stinks. Yeah, moments so he
thinks he thinks they stink to I things they stink
to define and got caught up for it.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Dead. You know, we got families. We got to play
to win.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Yeah, you think. I think now when you were alluding to,
you know who who he'd like to see get the
GM job? Is there anybody in particular you wanted to is.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
There's some good gems out there that are available, some
names out there, man, there are really good names.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Tom Telesco's out there, former GMS in the NFL to LESCo.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Is a good name. You can't handle it.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Go ahead, you can't handle it, saying Joe Douglas, Let
me go, let me let.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Me Roger Rabbit. You that's Roger, that's Robert.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Rat Joe Douglas GM.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
What once you remember Roger Rabbit. When the judge was
tapping on the wall to fout Roger Rabbit was hiding. No,
he started tapping it. Roger Rabbit couldn't take it. He
had to come out and sing it. Sing this song.
You might be too young for it. Like go, I
remember when the judge was was you know, Roger was
hiding and he started tapping the wall, doing a little beating.
(08:46):
Then he couldn't handle it, jumped out of the wall
or whatever it starts. Oh, yeah, I remember that. That's
that's Jonas right now. You tap him out, tap him out,
there we go.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
I don't know, Yeah, I'm just thinking about you know,
gms to a Lasco, Joe Dougl, Steve Kyme, like there's
some other what there was other names out there, you know,
just the other names of like gms that have that
have had previous experience.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
You know that last one you said is a pretty
strong name. If you ask me, p a guy, can
I can I throw it? Done really well for himself
in that game.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Oh Steve Kyme, Oh yeah, Steve Kime. Joe Douglas worked
with you on Draft night by guys.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Yeah, there you go, there you go.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Yeah, and also by the you know, I don't know
how how they feel about it, but maybe that's a
potential trade.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
You know, if.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Miami and Arizona are like, hey, we need to change
directions here.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
So you go on, trade one shorty for another?
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Yeah, to for Kyler?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Why not let's swap shorties? Yeah, shorty swapping? Really?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Does that happen them out?
Speaker 3 (09:56):
All right? So that is the that is the one
curve kicker for or another. Huh.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
That is the uh, that is the look at Monday
night football. Congratulations, Well there you go, and there you
have it. A to the stillest. Also, congratulations to the
Cincinnati Bengals. To the Cincinnati Bengals fan base. You're also
not going to the playoffs, but don't worry about it,
because you're gonna have something to watch down the stretch.
Joe Burrow will play in the remaining games that the
Bengals have in this twenty twenty five say man go.
(10:24):
Hasn't been any consideration of all the kind of sit
Borrow down for the last three games that come up
with that all?
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Why not because we want to win.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Easy pass action.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Y'all got four wins and you have a plethora of
talent on that team. How does that work? And how
do you maintain your job? How do you keep your
job after you've paid money to your receivers. You gave
a one year deal to your defensive end, you gave
(10:58):
a great, big deal to your order back. How does
that work? How do you have how is there even
a debate of if the coach has a job after
this season? If you're the Cincinnati Bengals, it's bongoles.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
It's hard to get It's hard to judge Zach Taylor
in the sense that, well, look, Joe Burrow has been injured.
I mean, if Joe Burrow is out there, and look
his splits, his win loss record as a coach with
Joe Burrow in the lineup when he's not in the
lineup or drastically different. But it's also been three years
(11:34):
straight they haven't made the playoffs. And I would lean like,
if you were a betting man right now, based on
what you know about the Bengals organization, based on the
performance of the team, the way Joe Burrow's talked recently
the defense, all of that stuff, Like you know the
Chase Brown calling out the defense earlier this year after
the the loss to the Bears. Like, based on everything
(11:55):
you know about this organization, this team, this situation, would
do you bet yes or no that Zach Taylor is
out after this year?
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Yes, because that need to go in a different direction
before it's too late. Yeah, you can't. You can't waste sticks.
You can't waste this amount of time on this amount
of talent because I would honestly say, you're not going
to assemble a skill group as talented as this one.
(12:28):
You're not going to pay to keep it together the
next time. This is it.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Oh and I got news for you if that's the case.
And I've said this before, that is the most coveted
job in the NFL this offseason. This is it because
if you tell me I can get Joe Burrow, Like
Mike McCarthy's out there, and Mike McCarthy is apparently going
to get some looks the Giants, the Titans have been rumored.
You mean to tell me Mike McCarthy's looking at all
the available jobs and he sees the Bengals with Joe
(12:54):
Burrow and says, now I'm going to pass and go
go coach Jackson Dart who's got seventy five concussions rookie year, Like,
that's the most coveted job. If you could coach burn Mount.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
God, you got to get you one or two guys
in free agency or in the draft that can block
shore up your your O line and then just go
all in on. Like if Mike Rabel didn't give you
the blueprint on how to build a defense in a year,
(13:27):
then you're not paying attention and you should not be
a head coach or a GM in the National Football League.
I feel like Mike Vrabel was doing all of his
scout work with his crew. They knew exactly how much
they wanted to spend, they knew exactly who they wanted
(13:47):
to go get, and they knew exactly how it was
going to impact their team. And when he got the job,
he executed. I'm the more I'm looking at it and
I'm peeling back the layers of what New England is
doing and why they've been able to do it. It's
been a masterful job of putting together the type of
personalities and talents that Mike Rabel and his team did
(14:13):
in order for them to be able to take such
a tremendously large step forward and no time at all.
So I'm if I'm coming into a job where I
have Jamar Chase Joe Burrow, I could stop there. Honestly,
(14:34):
I could stop there. But you do have Higgins. I'm
building the rest of this thing out to protect Joe Burrow.
Get a running back. Should have never let Mixing go.
Should kept him. But get you a running back like
a good site, which that's what Mike Rabel did as well,
(14:58):
and getting the kid out of a Ohio state boys.
Bet man, you get a running back and you build
your defense. Mike, fine, find a dope tackle or two
in in free agency. I'd rather bring in a vet
than bring in a young guy personally.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
But look at what Look what the Bears did. Bears
had the worst of one of the worst offensive lines
in the league. They've got one of the best offensive
lines in the league now. And if you look at
their offensive line, they've got one returning starter from last year.
It's Darnell Wright at right tackle, who they drafted a
couple of years ago out of Tennessee other than that
their starting left tackle was a second round draft pick
(15:41):
this year in Aussie Trapillo, and their their other three
linemen on the interior, Drew Dolman free agency, Joe Tooney
they got from the Chiefs, and Jonah Jackson they got
from the Rams. Like this is like it can be done,
like the Mike Vrable on the pay treats. The Bears
have shown like it can be done. It doesn't have
(16:03):
to take long. And if you already have Joe Burrow, yes,
and that they do not allow for him to get touched.
The only because I kind of go back and forth
if whether or not I think there's going to be
a change. And since when it comes to coaching from
this standpoint, I guess the one thing that makes me hesitant.
(16:23):
Man Marvin Lewis was there for a long time, and
he had all sorts of opportunity and all sorts of
all these chances to and ultimately they ended up moving
on from Marvin Lewis. But it's it doesn't seem like
an organization that pulls the trigger quick when it comes
to coaches. But I also look at Marvin Lewis and
(16:45):
I go, yeah, but he was going to the playoffs
a lot, and Cincinnati hasn't been there, and you know
the defense has been problematic, But is that you know,
more of an indictment on the coach who's hiring those
coordinates who are coaching out to that defense, Like, is
that is that partly on Zach Taylor as as to
(17:06):
why he can't get that size.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
It's always on your head coach, That's the bottom line.
There's no way of getting around that. That's that's just
what that's on the head coach. So you mentioned Marvin Lewis.
They gave Marvin Lewis a whole lot of time to
try to get to that next level and he had
some really really competitive football teams, very talented team Like
(17:31):
you cannot look at that that space and time in
the NFL with Marvin Lewis and Cincinnati and not say
that there was some fricking like they were probably Hall
of famers on if they went to another team. They
played for another team and you got Hall of famers
and some of them should like chet Chet Chad Johnson
(17:52):
should have been a first ballot Hall of Famer. He
should be a first ballot Hall of Famer. In my estimations,
AJ Green was in a mad like They've had so
many amazing player Carson Palmer, like, you know, they had
tremendous running backs and he don't have good years there.
I just I just think you're you're, You've already did
(18:14):
the long term experiment of having a ton of talent
and not having a coach that could get you over
over the hump. Now, they came close with Zach Taylor,
but it has not been close ever since that close
moment in time. And do I want to chance wasting
(18:35):
this golden opportunity of talent that I have with Joe
Burrow and the receiving corp that I have on this
side of the ball with a coach that has shown
that he cannot get it done. And that has to
be the idea of you're on a time crunch and
you're on a schedule in terms of how much longer
(18:57):
you will have all this talent. I just don't see that.
Why would you continue on with the same guy when
you're a four win team right now? I've already made
my decision already. If you're asking.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Me, you know who would be a home run higher
in Cincinnati And it would be fascinating to watch, uh oh,
Kevin Stefanski. H like, we know he can coach. You know,
he can coach offense. You know he can coach quarterbacks.
I mean you've seen he's had to do it, you know,
with whatever variations have come through there in Cleveland. And
(19:31):
if he could get to Cincinnati and coach Joe Burrow
and T Higgins and all Jamar Chase and all those
guys on offense like that, and look, maybe he can
bring Jim Schwartz with him, you know, who's been fantastic,
you know with the Cleveland Browns on defensively. I mean
that that would be and it would be fascinating to
see that play out.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
In the same time that ain't gonna happen. Oh it's
Pipe dream Man, that offensive coordinator for Washington that was
a hit A coach, Cliff Kingsbury. Cliff that to me,
I think he's an interesting name. I mean, there's there's
some young talent out there that I think I think
you gotta instead of so much recycling. You brought up
(20:13):
McCarthy earlier, I think instead of recycling. Although the NFL
is showing that they like going after old, old dudes,
even if they're players, I would also say you mentioned Washington.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Jaden Daniels is going to be shut down the rest
of the year, and as he should.
Speaker 3 (20:32):

just to keep it going.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Yeah, it's your favorite Christmas song.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
It's a good Now we can get into it, all right.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
So I'm curious to see kind of what your thoughts
were on these calls. The Tony Jefferson ejection for the
Chargers that Jim Harborough is talking about. I don't know
what he's supposed to. I get the penalty, the ejection
I'm trying to figure out. Also the Tyler shuck slide
(25:35):
at the end of the game against the Panthers that
resulted in a fifteen yard penalty. Where do you land?
Where did those land with you? As far as penalties, ejections,
should they have been called, et cetera.
Speaker 8 (25:48):
Well, I think that, Jefferson, it's a foul. I think Look,
it's we've talked about this, you know, Levars like live this.
You know, as a defensive player and how the rules
have evolved, you can't hit a receiver who who's considered
defenseless trying to make a trying to make a catch.
You can't hit him in the head. And it was
you know, there was helmet time, a contact watching it
(26:11):
live watching, you know, even the replace, I didn't think
that was a hit that raised the level of an ejection.
I really think that the aftermaths right where where okay,
players is injured, uh, you know, the reaction from the chiefs,
(26:31):
all of all of that I believe kind of factored
into him being ejected, which I'm not I don't necessarily
agree with you know, I think you have to take
the hit itself. Was it was it Flay Grant? Was
it agreed? No, it was it was a football play.
He was trying to make the hit. He was trying
to to this lodge the football. So I didn't think
(26:55):
that was an ejection. I think if if if he
gets the steve if I forget who it was, but
if he get jumps right back up and goes back
to the huddle, I don't think he's ejected. I think
everybody kind of just moves on the other one. The
shut play, and you thought that's one where look, he slid,
you got to stay off him. It's such a big
situation in the game, So I think I think it
(27:17):
got got a lot of attention. Obviously puts him in
field goal range to win the game. But you know,
when when the quarterback slides like that, I thought it
was a you know, he's literally enough and you got
to stay off him. You can't make that contact. And
that's one that that one to me was more on
you know, the defender than anything else.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Deed is there because I know that there's been rules
that have been put in place to you know, help
the offense, whether that's set out loud or not, you know,
like you want more scoring the kickoff, like all the
all the things that have been done, has there been
anything done? And I'm asking this seriously to help the
defense to where in conversations during the off season, they're like,
(27:57):
you know what, the defense is really getting the shaft
in this guard. Maybe we should do something about you know,
how how offenses are taking advantage of this situation? Like
can you think of how the defense has benefited from
a rule change or anything like that in recent years?
Speaker 8 (28:13):
Well, yeah, I think there's there have been certain changes.
Look that there's no question that offensive production, passing, scoring,
that the competition. For me, I think that's and that's
the reality, right. I don't think if you ask most
football fans, I don't think they want to see six
three games, right, They'd rather see thirty five thirty one.
But I think maintaining offensive and defensive balance is so important.
(28:38):
You want offenses to be able to put points on
the board. But you can't just have a track meet.
Nobody wants to watch it. Well, whoever gets the ball
last is going to win. There's no drama there, there's
no it's just you got to have that balance. I
think there is the have been rules in place as
it relates to certainly low blocks and protecting defensive players
from those types of things, expanding things like blocks when
(29:00):
it's a high lew block, those types of things. I
also think that, you know, one of the things they
got to look at, and I think they've looked at
in the past is offensive past difference and blocking and
picks and those rub routes and those types of things.
So I think there have been, but ultimately it is
it is seen as more of a when you look
at rules changes, you know, how do we how do
(29:23):
we maintain a healthy offense? And sometimes unfortunately the defense
be comes an after thought, but that offensive defensive bounce
is so important.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
So we saw Micah go out with a nasty knee injury.
Would you say when you lose premiere guys like Michael Parsons,
it impacts the excitement going into the game, maybe viewership,
maybe interest level in what's going on when you lose
a marquee player, even if he's a pass rushing guy
(29:54):
on the other side of the ball. Will we will
we say that there's an impact there, no.
Speaker 8 (29:59):
Question, no question. We were in the booth. I mean
we were in the booth for our game. We have
the Lions and Rams and we you know, we heard
through you know, guys on the crew that Micah. You know,
it looked like it was it was going to be
a significant injury and everybody was just kind of like
it deflated every You know this because this is a
premiere player. It doesn't matter what side of the ball
they're on. You know, we lost, you know, then you
(30:21):
lose the homes. You lose guys that in our game,
Devanty Adams went down with a hamstring. Doesn't look like
it's going to be it's going to be that that
significant hopefully, but whenever you lose those guys that, it
absolutely it diminishes. We have we have Bears Packers Saturday Night,
and not having Micah there is a is a big,
(30:42):
big hit to that game.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
I'm glad you said that, Dean because and I'm glad
that you mentioned the Bears because Colston Loveland the tight end.
Did you see did you see his monster block all males?
Garrett the monster? You saw it? Yeah? How is that praised?
(31:07):
And listen, my homie hu Ship Shipley did a whole
breakdown on Loveland in the block, and how beastly of
a block it was, and this that, and you gotta
have your head on the swivel in the NFL, because
this is the NFL. No, no, Dean, enough is enough.
(31:27):
If you have a premiere guy on that side of
the ball, there should be the same type of action
taken to protect those guys. This guy is on pace
to snap destroy the single season sack record. And imagine
if what happened to Micah happens to Miles Garrett because
(31:51):
he's getting obliterated by a chip block. This wasn't even
I don't even call that a chip block because it's
just a blind side block. I mean, he came down
on them, It's a blind side block. I'm so sick
and tired of this not being discussed more that guys
(32:14):
are just left out and not to mention when they
come around that edge. I'm seeing so much hugging, tackling,
pulling for everyone that we see get called dean. They
are not calling.
Speaker 9 (32:31):
These penalties on these guys that are holding and pulling
these guys, and for what is worth to a civilian,
they don't realize what that feels like to be moving
that fast.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
Or moving with that type of torque and power, and
a three hundred pounds plus man that's over six foot
five is pulling on you and grabbing on you and
hugging on you while you're trying to continue to run.
If you can't comprehend it, it's very difficult to say
how egregious this is to watch it taking place. I'm
(33:04):
sorry I got in my feelings, but it does say
so much of it.
Speaker 8 (33:09):
Do you you need to go look in the mirror
with some positive affirmations. I mean we can, we can
talk through that.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
Appreciate I need to get that out. I need it.
I needed this session.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Yeah, you're not a one trick pony, Dan, You're here
to help and all.
Speaker 8 (33:24):
Dan, I believe me.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
I've been walf me off the Lagan.
Speaker 8 (33:29):
I agree with you. Could not agree with you more
when you talk about those and that was one of
the things, like we're talking about, okay, rules that we'll
put in to protect the defense is the blindside block
and and and and typically when that rule went in,
it was more like out in space, it was the
punt return. It was those changing direction places. But that's
happening some of those like you said, whether it's a
(33:50):
chip block or some of these wham blocks or whatever
you want to call them. They are coming from the
blind side. You can't protect yourself. One of the things
that that you know, I think they need to look
at that doesn't happen all that often. We talked about
shop blocks earlier. When I'm engaged high right, you can't
cut me at the fire below because I can't protect myself. Well,
(34:10):
same thing with a chip block. You know, where I'm engaged,
I'm trying to come off the edge, and then this
guy just comes from the side and knocks the crap
out of me. That's a defenseless player. When you're talking
about my focus isn't on this player that's coming across
and making contact with me. So I think the league
needs to look at that. And absolutely, if you imagine,
I mean we were all, I mean miles, like you
(34:31):
said mouth, he has an incredible chance to break the
sack record, and for to lose him right now on
a hit like that would be I think that would
not be good for the league. And that's something definitely
the committee who needs to look at going forward.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Dean, before I let you go, you got any holiday?
Pet Peeves is there anything that really pisses you off
this time of year. Could be a food item, people's
manners when they're going shopping. Traffic, Is there anything that
just rubs you the wrong way?
Speaker 8 (35:00):
I mean, I traffic. I am my worst version of
myself when I'm in the car, not like you're or
I am a New Yorker. I am. I don't I've
never ever I made a pack. I don't honk unless
it's a safety issue them though, Oh but I will.
(35:22):
I will, like just and I'm not even like a
big like flip of the bird, like not even that.
I just O day, Yeah, I know I've taken the tack.
Now where I like, where it's more, I feel like
it's more impactful. Where I act disappointed, I'll give like
a thumbs down. I'll give them like a thumb down,
(35:42):
like shake my head like it's just more like you're
just the moron. And I'm not even gonna get mad.
But I'm just so disappointed. I mean, it's not hard,
just signal, just give give me, give me a blinker,
give me something, like, you know, pick a lane, like
it's not hard.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
My son four, and I was driving around with him,
and I do the same thing, and I just it
wasn't even that big of a deal, but I was
just annoyed and I just drove by and looked at
somebody and just shook my head and discuss. And my
son says to me, goes, Papa, why'd you shake your head?
And I had no good answer. It's like, yeah, you're right,
I probably shouldn't have done that, but it's just you're
(36:20):
in your car and you just you lose it a
little bit.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
Man.
Speaker 8 (36:23):
Well, I had my youngest, my youngest, he was probably
about six or seven at the time, and one time
he just goes down. He goes, it just seems like
you're the only one out there that knows how to
drive like that.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
Yeah, right, well yeah, my daughter both rolled down the
window and start at mother fing them. Yeah, we do
it together with that, and I say, this is the
only time you're allowed to do this is when you're
with dead home. Don't ever do this on your own.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
It's a good move.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
Yeah, I'll teach him my mother. You know, you got
to properly be rode raging if you're going to do it.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Uh, Dean, we appreciate. Are you going to be in
Chicago for the game this Saturday. Or where are you
going to be at?
Speaker 8 (37:01):
Well, actually, I'm not going to be The crew will
be in Chicago. I'm doing CFP games Friday and Saturday.

night for the Pittsburgh Steelers. They get it done against
the Miami Dolphins. They end Miami's playoff hopes and the
Pittsburgh Steelers run away with that game last night. And
(01:56):
the Miami Dolphins looked like they weren't really interested in
being there at one point, just kind of seemed.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Uh DK Metcalf was out there looking like techmobile. Yeah
back in the day. Yeah, man, god, yeah, there's uh.
They were. It was poor tackling by by the Dolphins.
They were They were just able to out physical the Dolphins.
They were able to convert on on third downs in
(02:26):
the second half. Not early on, but in the second
half they were able to they converted on fourth downs.
I mean it was I thought it was a decisive
victory for for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Yeah, I think it
took you. It took my thought process into a more
positive thinking of of what what they could possibly do
(02:48):
in the postseason.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Now, what about Miami?
Speaker 3 (02:52):
What did that do for you?
Speaker 1 (02:54):
You've kind of I think you were one of the
first people that kind of kicked around the thought of,
you know, maybe Mike McDaniel it's gonna stick around.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
I think it's still it looks as it looks as
though this is the type of team that may possibly
need just a little bit more. I think he's by
himself time for another season. I don't. I don't think
unless they what there's two two three more games? R
(03:23):
two three games, unless there's just uh, just a total
collapse the rest of the way, you know, I think
that this is a team that you look at where
they're at, they have some pieces in play. Obviously they
have to decide the biggest question mark, which is the quarterback.
And I think that he gets another year as well,
(03:44):
obviously based upon all the contract talks surrounding, you know,
to us. So, yeah, but I think that you're you're
probably looking at this this team and saying, Okay, they're
bringing in a new GM and depending on how good
that g is, which you know, obviously I have a
hope and and wanting to see a certain guy in
(04:06):
particular get the job. But if he were to get
that job, I mean, he's built built winning teams before,
and he's got a great knowledge of talent. I think
that you bring in the right GM, they could be
one or two players away from being right back in
that competitive type of mode that they were in for
(04:27):
that one season. I'll say under Mike McDaniels. So, Mike McDaniel,
your guy, McDaniel, whatever, McDaniel, McDaniels, Mike McDaniel, your guy.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Spoke afterwards about the glasses on yeah, with his I mean, listen,
they're they're great shades.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I love them.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
But he spoke afterwards about the idea of benching to
and whether or not that would be a possibility at
some point this year.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
I think it would be very rash and uh short
sighted if I even tried.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
To tackle that option.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
You know, I think I have to look at the tape, uh,
and and I'll move on from there. But realistically, I'm
just supremely disappointed that, uh, you know, we couldn't come
out with a win here, Passing a lot of times
people just squarely put all the focus on on the quarterback.
I think there's a there's several times tonight that you know,
(05:32):
one in particular that stands out where I think he
was about to make the right read and you know
we uh, we had our eligible fallover. It's been a
multitude of things. It has to be better for us
to you know, be able to win games when you're
not owning time of possession or controlling controlling the game
(05:56):
on the ground. So it's not up to standard.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
So that was Mike McDaniel talking about there's more than
just the issues with the quarterback. They've got other issues
on offense. Tyreek Hills out Darren Waller was retired and
he's out there. He was bunch downs for him. Yeah,
like he's played. He's had moments this year where it's like,
all right, well that works.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
But it'd be a gorilla sitting on Mike's chest when
he's stressed out. He don't be sounded like he can
breathe that all when he be stressed out. You already Yeah,
well it's.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
A little cold out there, man.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
You know, we play one more time, play a little
bit of it. They play a little bit of his interview,
just a little bit does it play on it?
Speaker 4 (06:47):
I think it would be very rash and uh uh
short sighted if I even tried to tackle that option.
You know, I think I have to look at.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
The tape that ain't as but bro, that's stress. Yeah,
he got King Kong sitting on his jas Bro. That's
that stress.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Well look, I mean there is He's probably looking around
going if this doesn't if this doesn't play, if this doesn't.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Go, well, I'm not smoking for a new Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Like, and you've got to rely on a team that
has shown that you think stinks. Yeah, moments so he
thinks he thinks they stink to I things they stink
to define and got caught up for it.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Dead. You know, we got families. We got to play
to win.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Yeah, you think. I think now when you were alluding to,
you know who who he'd like to see get the
GM job? Is there anybody in particular you wanted to is.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
There's some good gems out there that are available, some
names out there, man, there are really good names.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Tom Telesco's out there, former GMS in the NFL to LESCo.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Is a good name. You can't handle it.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Go ahead, you can't handle it, saying Joe Douglas, Let
me go, let me let.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Me Roger Rabbit. You that's Roger, that's Robert.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Rat Joe Douglas GM.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
What once you remember Roger Rabbit. When the judge was
tapping on the wall to fout Roger Rabbit was hiding. No,
he started tapping it. Roger Rabbit couldn't take it. He
had to come out and sing it. Sing this song.
You might be too young for it. Like go, I
remember when the judge was was you know, Roger was
hiding and he started tapping the wall, doing a little beating.
(08:46):
Then he couldn't handle it, jumped out of the wall
or whatever it starts. Oh, yeah, I remember that. That's
that's Jonas right now. You tap him out, tap him out,
there we go.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
I don't know, Yeah, I'm just thinking about you know,
gms to a Lasco, Joe Dougl, Steve Kyme, like there's
some other what there was other names out there, you know,
just the other names of like gms that have that
have had previous experience.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
You know that last one you said is a pretty
strong name. If you ask me, p a guy, can
I can I throw it? Done really well for himself
in that game.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Oh Steve Kyme, Oh yeah, Steve Kime. Joe Douglas worked
with you on Draft night by guys.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Yeah, there you go, there you go.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Yeah, and also by the you know, I don't know
how how they feel about it, but maybe that's a
potential trade.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
You know, if.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Miami and Arizona are like, hey, we need to change
directions here.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
So you go on, trade one shorty for another?
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Yeah, to for Kyler?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Why not let's swap shorties? Yeah, shorty swapping? Really?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Does that happen them out?
Speaker 3 (09:56):
All right? So that is the that is the one
curve kicker for or another. Huh.
Speaker 1 (10:01):

night football. Congratulations, Well there you go, and there you
have it. A to the stillest. Also, congratulations to the
Cincinnati Bengals. To the Cincinnati Bengals fan base. You're also
not going to the playoffs, but don't worry about it,
because you're gonna have something to watch down the stretch.
Joe Burrow will play in the remaining games that the
Bengals have in this twenty twenty five say man go.
(10:24):
Hasn't been any consideration of all the kind of sit
Borrow down for the last three games that come up
with that all?
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Why not because we want to win.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Easy pass action.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Y'all got four wins and you have a plethora of
talent on that team. How does that work? And how
do you maintain your job? How do you keep your
job after you've paid money to your receivers. You gave
a one year deal to your defensive end, you gave
(10:58):
a great, big deal to your order back. How does
that work? How do you have how is there even
a debate of if the coach has a job after
this season? If you're the Cincinnati Bengals, it's bongoles.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
It's hard to get It's hard to judge Zach Taylor
in the sense that, well, look, Joe Burrow has been injured.
I mean, if Joe Burrow is out there, and look
his splits, his win loss record as a coach with
Joe Burrow in the lineup when he's not in the
lineup or drastically different. But it's also been three years
(11:34):
straight they haven't made the playoffs. And I would lean like,
if you were a betting man right now, based on
what you know about the Bengals organization, based on the
performance of the team, the way Joe Burrow's talked recently
the defense, all of that stuff, Like you know the
Chase Brown calling out the defense earlier this year after
the the loss to the Bears. Like, based on everything
(11:55):
you know about this organization, this team, this situation, would
do you bet yes or no that Zach Taylor is
out after this year?
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Yes, because that need to go in a different direction
before it's too late. Yeah, you can't. You can't waste sticks.
You can't waste this amount of time on this amount
of talent because I would honestly say, you're not going
to assemble a skill group as talented as this one.
(12:28):
You're not going to pay to keep it together the
next time. This is it.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Oh and I got news for you if that's the case.
And I've said this before, that is the most coveted
job in the NFL this offseason. This is it because
if you tell me I can get Joe Burrow, Like
Mike McCarthy's out there, and Mike McCarthy is apparently going
to get some looks the Giants, the Titans have been rumored.
You mean to tell me Mike McCarthy's looking at all
the available jobs and he sees the Bengals with Joe
(12:54):
Burrow and says, now I'm going to pass and go
go coach Jackson Dart who's got seventy five concussions rookie year, Like,
that's the most coveted job. If you could coach burn Mount.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
God, you got to get you one or two guys
in free agency or in the draft that can block
shore up your your O line and then just go
all in on. Like if Mike Rabel didn't give you
the blueprint on how to build a defense in a year,
(13:27):
then you're not paying attention and you should not be
a head coach or a GM in the National Football League.
I feel like Mike Vrabel was doing all of his
scout work with his crew. They knew exactly how much
they wanted to spend, they knew exactly who they wanted
(13:47):
to go get, and they knew exactly how it was
going to impact their team. And when he got the job,
he executed. I'm the more I'm looking at it and
I'm peeling back the layers of what New England is
doing and why they've been able to do it. It's
been a masterful job of putting together the type of
personalities and talents that Mike Rabel and his team did
(14:13):
in order for them to be able to take such
a tremendously large step forward and no time at all.
So I'm if I'm coming into a job where I
have Jamar Chase Joe Burrow, I could stop there. Honestly,
(14:34):
I could stop there. But you do have Higgins. I'm
building the rest of this thing out to protect Joe Burrow.
Get a running back. Should have never let Mixing go.
Should kept him. But get you a running back like
a good site, which that's what Mike Rabel did as well,
(14:58):
and getting the kid out of a Ohio state boys.
Bet man, you get a running back and you build
your defense. Mike, fine, find a dope tackle or two
in in free agency. I'd rather bring in a vet
than bring in a young guy personally.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
But look at what Look what the Bears did. Bears
had the worst of one of the worst offensive lines
in the league. They've got one of the best offensive
lines in the league now. And if you look at
their offensive line, they've got one returning starter from last year.
It's Darnell Wright at right tackle, who they drafted a
couple of years ago out of Tennessee other than that
their starting left tackle was a second round draft pick
(15:41):
this year in Aussie Trapillo, and their their other three
linemen on the interior, Drew Dolman free agency, Joe Tooney
they got from the Chiefs, and Jonah Jackson they got
from the Rams. Like this is like it can be done,
like the Mike Vrable on the pay treats. The Bears
have shown like it can be done. It doesn't have
(16:03):
to take long. And if you already have Joe Burrow, yes,
and that they do not allow for him to get touched.
The only because I kind of go back and forth
if whether or not I think there's going to be
a change. And since when it comes to coaching from
this standpoint, I guess the one thing that makes me hesitant.
(16:23):
Man Marvin Lewis was there for a long time, and
he had all sorts of opportunity and all sorts of
all these chances to and ultimately they ended up moving
on from Marvin Lewis. But it's it doesn't seem like
an organization that pulls the trigger quick when it comes
to coaches. But I also look at Marvin Lewis and
(16:45):
I go, yeah, but he was going to the playoffs
a lot, and Cincinnati hasn't been there, and you know
the defense has been problematic, But is that you know,
more of an indictment on the coach who's hiring those
coordinates who are coaching out to that defense, Like, is
that is that partly on Zach Taylor as as to
(17:06):
why he can't get that size.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
It's always on your head coach, That's the bottom line.
There's no way of getting around that. That's that's just
what that's on the head coach. So you mentioned Marvin Lewis.
They gave Marvin Lewis a whole lot of time to
try to get to that next level and he had
some really really competitive football teams, very talented team Like
(17:31):
you cannot look at that that space and time in
the NFL with Marvin Lewis and Cincinnati and not say
that there was some fricking like they were probably Hall
of famers on if they went to another team. They
played for another team and you got Hall of famers
and some of them should like chet Chet Chad Johnson
(17:52):
should have been a first ballot Hall of Famer. He
should be a first ballot Hall of Famer. In my estimations,
AJ Green was in a mad like They've had so
many amazing player Carson Palmer, like, you know, they had
tremendous running backs and he don't have good years there.
I just I just think you're you're, You've already did
(18:14):
the long term experiment of having a ton of talent
and not having a coach that could get you over
over the hump. Now, they came close with Zach Taylor,
but it has not been close ever since that close
moment in time. And do I want to chance wasting
(18:35):
this golden opportunity of talent that I have with Joe
Burrow and the receiving corp that I have on this
side of the ball with a coach that has shown
that he cannot get it done. And that has to
be the idea of you're on a time crunch and
you're on a schedule in terms of how much longer
(18:57):
you will have all this talent. I just don't see that.
Why would you continue on with the same guy when
you're a four win team right now? I've already made
my decision already. If you're asking.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Me, you know who would be a home run higher
in Cincinnati And it would be fascinating to watch, uh oh,
Kevin Stefanski. H like, we know he can coach. You know,
he can coach offense. You know he can coach quarterbacks.
I mean you've seen he's had to do it, you know,
with whatever variations have come through there in Cleveland. And
(19:31):
if he could get to Cincinnati and coach Joe Burrow
and T Higgins and all Jamar Chase and all those
guys on offense like that, and look, maybe he can
bring Jim Schwartz with him, you know, who's been fantastic,
you know with the Cleveland Browns on defensively. I mean
that that would be and it would be fascinating to
see that play out.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
In the same time that ain't gonna happen. Oh it's
Pipe dream Man, that offensive coordinator for Washington that was
a hit A coach, Cliff Kingsbury. Cliff that to me,
I think he's an interesting name. I mean, there's there's
some young talent out there that I think I think
you gotta instead of so much recycling. You brought up
(20:13):
McCarthy earlier, I think instead of recycling. Although the NFL
is showing that they like going after old, old dudes,
even if they're players, I would also say you mentioned Washington.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Jaden Daniels is going to be shut down the rest
of the year, and as he should.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
Yeah, it's your favorite Christmas song.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
It's a good Now we can get into it, all right.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
So I'm curious to see kind of what your thoughts
were on these calls. The Tony Jefferson ejection for the
Chargers that Jim Harborough is talking about. I don't know
what he's supposed to. I get the penalty, the ejection
I'm trying to figure out. Also the Tyler shuck slide
(25:35):
at the end of the game against the Panthers that
resulted in a fifteen yard penalty. Where do you land?
Where did those land with you? As far as penalties, ejections,
should they have been called, et cetera.
Speaker 8 (25:48):
Well, I think that, Jefferson, it's a foul. I think Look,
it's we've talked about this, you know, Levars like live this.
You know, as a defensive player and how the rules
have evolved, you can't hit a receiver who who's considered
defenseless trying to make a trying to make a catch.
You can't hit him in the head. And it was
you know, there was helmet time, a contact watching it
(26:11):
live watching, you know, even the replace, I didn't think
that was a hit that raised the level of an ejection.
I really think that the aftermaths right where where okay,
players is injured, uh, you know, the reaction from the chiefs,
(26:31):
all of all of that I believe kind of factored
into him being ejected, which I'm not I don't necessarily
agree with you know, I think you have to take
the hit itself. Was it was it Flay Grant? Was
it agreed? No, it was it was a football play.
He was trying to make the hit. He was trying
to to this lodge the football. So I didn't think
(26:55):
that was an ejection. I think if if if he
gets the steve if I forget who it was, but
if he get jumps right back up and goes back
to the huddle, I don't think he's ejected. I think
everybody kind of just moves on the other one. The
shut play, and you thought that's one where look, he slid,
you got to stay off him. It's such a big
situation in the game, So I think I think it
(27:17):
got got a lot of attention. Obviously puts him in
field goal range to win the game. But you know,
when when the quarterback slides like that, I thought it
was a you know, he's literally enough and you got
to stay off him. You can't make that contact. And
that's one that that one to me was more on
you know, the defender than anything else.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Deed is there because I know that there's been rules
that have been put in place to you know, help
the offense, whether that's set out loud or not, you know,
like you want more scoring the kickoff, like all the
all the things that have been done, has there been
anything done? And I'm asking this seriously to help the
defense to where in conversations during the off season, they're like,
(27:57):
you know what, the defense is really getting the shaft
in this guard. Maybe we should do something about you know,
how how offenses are taking advantage of this situation? Like
can you think of how the defense has benefited from
a rule change or anything like that in recent years?
Speaker 8 (28:13):
Well, yeah, I think there's there have been certain changes.
Look that there's no question that offensive production, passing, scoring,
that the competition. For me, I think that's and that's
the reality, right. I don't think if you ask most
football fans, I don't think they want to see six
three games, right, They'd rather see thirty five thirty one.
But I think maintaining offensive and defensive balance is so important.
(28:38):
You want offenses to be able to put points on
the board. But you can't just have a track meet.
Nobody wants to watch it. Well, whoever gets the ball
last is going to win. There's no drama there, there's
no it's just you got to have that balance. I
think there is the have been rules in place as
it relates to certainly low blocks and protecting defensive players
from those types of things, expanding things like blocks when
(29:00):
it's a high lew block, those types of things. I
also think that, you know, one of the things they
got to look at, and I think they've looked at
in the past is offensive past difference and blocking and
picks and those rub routes and those types of things.
So I think there have been, but ultimately it is
it is seen as more of a when you look
at rules changes, you know, how do we how do
(29:23):
we maintain a healthy offense? And sometimes unfortunately the defense
be comes an after thought, but that offensive defensive bounce
is so important.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
So we saw Micah go out with a nasty knee injury.
Would you say when you lose premiere guys like Michael Parsons,
it impacts the excitement going into the game, maybe viewership,
maybe interest level in what's going on when you lose
a marquee player, even if he's a pass rushing guy
(29:54):
on the other side of the ball. Will we will
we say that there's an impact there, no.
Speaker 8 (29:59):
Question, no question. We were in the booth. I mean
we were in the booth for our game. We have
the Lions and Rams and we you know, we heard
through you know, guys on the crew that Micah. You know,
it looked like it was it was going to be
a significant injury and everybody was just kind of like
it deflated every You know this because this is a
premiere player. It doesn't matter what side of the ball
they're on. You know, we lost, you know, then you
(30:21):
lose the homes. You lose guys that in our game,
Devanty Adams went down with a hamstring. Doesn't look like
it's going to be it's going to be that that
significant hopefully, but whenever you lose those guys that, it
absolutely it diminishes. We have we have Bears Packers Saturday Night,
and not having Micah there is a is a big,
(30:42):
big hit to that game.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
I'm glad you said that, Dean because and I'm glad
that you mentioned the Bears because Colston Loveland the tight end.
Did you see did you see his monster block all males?
Garrett the monster? You saw it? Yeah? How is that praised?
(31:07):
And listen, my homie hu Ship Shipley did a whole
breakdown on Loveland in the block, and how beastly of
a block it was, and this that, and you gotta
have your head on the swivel in the NFL, because
this is the NFL. No, no, Dean, enough is enough.
(31:27):
If you have a premiere guy on that side of
the ball, there should be the same type of action
taken to protect those guys. This guy is on pace
to snap destroy the single season sack record. And imagine
if what happened to Micah happens to Miles Garrett because
(31:51):
he's getting obliterated by a chip block. This wasn't even
I don't even call that a chip block because it's
just a blind side block. I mean, he came down
on them, It's a blind side block. I'm so sick
and tired of this not being discussed more that guys
(32:14):
are just left out and not to mention when they
come around that edge. I'm seeing so much hugging, tackling,
pulling for everyone that we see get called dean. They
are not calling.
Speaker 9 (32:31):
These penalties on these guys that are holding and pulling
these guys, and for what is worth to a civilian,
they don't realize what that feels like to be moving
that fast.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
Or moving with that type of torque and power, and
a three hundred pounds plus man that's over six foot
five is pulling on you and grabbing on you and
hugging on you while you're trying to continue to run.
If you can't comprehend it, it's very difficult to say
how egregious this is to watch it taking place. I'm
(33:04):
sorry I got in my feelings, but it does say
so much of it.
Speaker 8 (33:09):
Do you you need to go look in the mirror
with some positive affirmations. I mean we can, we can
talk through that.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
Appreciate I need to get that out. I need it.
I needed this session.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Yeah, you're not a one trick pony, Dan, You're here
to help and all.
Speaker 8 (33:24):
Dan, I believe me.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
I've been walf me off the Lagan.
Speaker 8 (33:29):
I agree with you. Could not agree with you more
when you talk about those and that was one of
the things, like we're talking about, okay, rules that we'll
put in to protect the defense is the blindside block
and and and and typically when that rule went in,
it was more like out in space, it was the
punt return. It was those changing direction places. But that's
happening some of those like you said, whether it's a
(33:50):
chip block or some of these wham blocks or whatever
you want to call them. They are coming from the
blind side. You can't protect yourself. One of the things
that that you know, I think they need to look
at that doesn't happen all that often. We talked about
shop blocks earlier. When I'm engaged high right, you can't
cut me at the fire below because I can't protect myself. Well,
(34:10):
same thing with a chip block. You know, where I'm engaged,
I'm trying to come off the edge, and then this
guy just comes from the side and knocks the crap
out of me. That's a defenseless player. When you're talking
about my focus isn't on this player that's coming across
and making contact with me. So I think the league
needs to look at that. And absolutely, if you imagine,
I mean we were all, I mean miles, like you
(34:31):
said mouth, he has an incredible chance to break the
sack record, and for to lose him right now on
a hit like that would be I think that would
not be good for the league. And that's something definitely
the committee who needs to look at going forward.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Dean, before I let you go, you got any holiday?
Pet Peeves is there anything that really pisses you off
this time of year. Could be a food item, people's
manners when they're going shopping. Traffic, Is there anything that
just rubs you the wrong way?
Speaker 8 (35:00):
I mean, I traffic. I am my worst version of
myself when I'm in the car, not like you're or
I am a New Yorker. I am. I don't I've
never ever I made a pack. I don't honk unless
it's a safety issue them though, Oh but I will.
(35:22):
I will, like just and I'm not even like a
big like flip of the bird, like not even that.
I just O day, Yeah, I know I've taken the tack.
Now where I like, where it's more, I feel like
it's more impactful. Where I act disappointed, I'll give like
a thumbs down. I'll give them like a thumb down,
(35:42):
like shake my head like it's just more like you're
just the moron. And I'm not even gonna get mad.
But I'm just so disappointed. I mean, it's not hard,
just signal, just give give me, give me a blinker,
give me something, like, you know, pick a lane, like
it's not hard.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
My son four, and I was driving around with him,
and I do the same thing, and I just it
wasn't even that big of a deal, but I was
just annoyed and I just drove by and looked at
somebody and just shook my head and discuss. And my
son says to me, goes, Papa, why'd you shake your head?
And I had no good answer. It's like, yeah, you're right,
I probably shouldn't have done that, but it's just you're
(36:20):
in your car and you just you lose it a
little bit.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
Man.
Speaker 8 (36:23):
Well, I had my youngest, my youngest, he was probably
about six or seven at the time, and one time
he just goes down. He goes, it just seems like
you're the only one out there that knows how to
drive like that.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
Yeah, right, well yeah, my daughter both rolled down the
window and start at mother fing them. Yeah, we do
it together with that, and I say, this is the
only time you're allowed to do this is when you're
with dead home. Don't ever do this on your own.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
It's a good move.
Speaker 3 (36:49):
Yeah, I'll teach him my mother. You know, you got
to properly be rode raging if you're going to do it.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Uh, Dean, we appreciate. Are you going to be in
Chicago for the game this Saturday. Or where are you
going to be at?
Speaker 8 (37:01):
Well, actually, I'm not going to be The crew will
