Colin gives his instant reaction to the Blue Jays beating the Mariners to advance to the World Series and the Lions drubbing the Buccaneers on MNF.

He starts with the ALCS and tips his cap to the Blue Jays for being the better team, and looks ahead to the Dodgers/Blue Jays matchup in the World Series (2:30). 

He moves to the Lions beating the Baker Mayfield and the Bucs 24-9 and highlights the “juice” in the building at Ford Field and the incredible play of Jamyr Gibbs for the Lions. He also credits Dan Campell for creating an incredible winning culture in Detroit and calls him the “ripped Ted Lasso” (7:30).

Speaker 1 (00:01):
The volume. Now it's time for this week's Redeemed team member,
brought to you by Hulu's Chad Powers. This week it's
Devonte Adams three touchdowns in London Rams crush the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Adams became the second player to have three touchdowns in
an international game. He and Stafford were dialed in. Chad
Powers is now streaming new episodes Tuesday on Hulu and

Some of the night was good. As a longtime Mariner fan,
we had our opportunities. I mean, Julio Rodriguez came up
for the final at bat of the season. He and

(00:46):
Cal Rawley. That's who you would have chosen. They got
a homer from Julio Rodriguez. They got a homer from
cal Rawley. The Mariners led late late innings on the road,
where road teams strangely have done very well in Game seven's.
Before tonight, they had won seven of the last eight.
George Kirby on the mound. But Dan Wilson, the very

(01:07):
popular manager who was a great, great defensive catcher in
all of baseball, played for the Mariners was an All Star.
I think one year beloved manager, he elected to throw
to George Springer. I would not have there was a
base open. You could argue they should have gone to

(01:27):
Muno's their top closer. But Seattle is a really good team.
I mean they have I mean Louis Castillo and George
Kobe and Kirby and Brian wu excellent bullpen, very flexible,
they can do a lot of things. Muno is a
great closer. You got two big sticks, and Julio Rodriguez
and Cal Rawley run the bases. You can grind out runs,

(01:49):
hit for power. The Mariners earned a Game seven in
the American League Championship Series. But you know, Dan Wilson
probably considered, you know, king George Springer, who's the former
Astro who was known as a great clutch hitter for
the Astros and has been a great clutch hitter for
the Blue Jays. I would not have pitched the George Springer.
I don't know if I would have brought in Munno's

(02:12):
or not. Probably it was the biggest at bat the
Mariners were facing, arguably in their existence. You know, but
that's not kind of the rotation. How the Mariners had
worked throughout the season. So you know, I just Toronto's
a really good team. And they I mean, they thoroughly
dominated the Yankees. Remember they crushed the Yankees in those

(02:34):
first two games in Toronto. So the Mariners had a lead,
they had George Kirby, you know what, they got beat
by a better team. So I thought the Mariners Dodgers
was going to be a really interesting series, a lot
of great starting pitching. I thought it was going to
be a real situational world series with you know, some

(02:55):
long balls. The Mariners' best two hitters are power hitters,
and everybody in the Dodgers seemingly hits for power. Dodgers
will be a huge favorite over the Toronto Blue Jays
and should be. And you know, listen, if you're a network,
you're never rooting for Canadian teams. Canadian teams don't count.
They use a different system for ratings. Their viewers, their

(03:15):
consumers don't count for our American TV ratings. So you know,
you're you're you're rooting. If you're any network in this country,
you're you know, our American network's one American teams. It's
better for business. But Toronto was a great team all
year and they deserved it. I mean, the Dodgers have
overwhelmed Cincinnati, Philadelphia, completely overwhelmed Milwaukee. They're an all star

(03:41):
lineup with sensational pitching. They've apparently solved their bullpen woes
all season, so they'll go in Friday in Toronto is
Game one. Dodgers will be a prohibitive favorite and should
be listen when you're a Mariner fan, when you grew
up a Mariners fan, it was a It was a
magical season. And they're well run. You know, middle of

(04:02):
the road payroll, never been a big free agent hub.
They have to draft and develop, but they've got the
right manager, a lot of good young arms, and that's all.

World Series. All right. Today's show is brought to you

Detroit Lions beating Baker Mayfield and the Bucks twenty four
to nine. You know, Dan Campbell, the coach of the Lions,

(05:49):
is like a ripped version of Ted Lasso. I don't
know if he's adding a ton schematically, but there's that
belief thing. And I mean they're missing all sorts of
backups in the secondary. And yet Baker Mayfield had one
of his worst outings of the year, twenty eight for
fifty touchdown a pick two hundred and twenty eight yards

(06:12):
under duress all night long, I mean the pass rate
percentage rush percentage by Detroit, I mean it had to
be over fifty percent. They were winning their matchups all
night long. So it's just one of those nights where
and you could tell early on in this game, I mean,
it should have been twenty four nothing and Detroit goffed

(06:36):
a terrible pick and they made mistakes, but you could
just tell the juice in the building for the Lions
was incredible. You know, I was doing my herd hierarchy
for tomorrow, and Kansas City is the best team in
the league. I'm not sure who the second best team is.
The best roster in the NFL. I think is Philadelphia,
so they're probably the second best team in the league.
I mean, they just figure out ways to win. They

(06:56):
can no longer run the ball, which is bizarre, but
best roster along with Kansas City in the NFL. But man,
there's a lot of I mean Detroit and Tampa. If
that game's in Tampa, it felt like Detroit got a
lot of the Colts and I mean, like, go either
way stuff. I don't think the officials or the reviews
were wrong. It's just one of those things. At home,

(07:17):
you tend to get a break. On the road, you don't.
It's always felt like that since I've been watching football
since I was eight, you know. I just feel like
if Detroit and Tampa played again and it was in Tampa,
Tampa could win. I think Denver stacked, but they should
have been beaten by the New York Giants. There's an argument.
I mean, the Rams defense the last three or four
weeks has been insane. There's an argument the Rams McVeigh

(07:39):
Stafford and that defense. Are they the third best team
in the league? Is it the Colts who had the
Rams beaten in so far? I don't know. I mean,
I just know when I watched Detroit play, especially at home,
that's a really good football team. But you don't get
to play Super Bowls at home. You generally don't get

(08:00):
conference championship at home. But I felt like it was
just a it was just a buzz saw tonight and
Tampa wasn't up for it. And I mean, they had
Mike Evans, but he got hurt. Buka is remarkable, but
it was just it was Detroit's night. They were getting
big chunk plays. You know Jamiir Gibbs. You know Brad Holmes,

(08:22):
the executive, the GM upstairs for the Lions who has
rebuilt this into a incredibly redeemable roster. He took Jamiir
Gibbs in the first round, and you know, people's Jeremiah
Love for Notre Dame is going to be a first
round pick as a running back, like first round running
backs have done well. I mean, Todd Gurley, Zeke Saquon Barkley,

(08:44):
Bijon Robinson, Christian McCaffrey, Gibbs, Josh Jacobs, I mean there
was some missus Sony Michelle New England. I mean he
was the second best running back at Georgia. Belichick can't
draft offense. Sony Michell should been drafted in the second.
Nick Chubb went to Cleveland, he should have been drafted
in the first. So that's just sort of a Belichick

(09:05):
drafting air. He had many but a lot of these
first round running backs and I think you're getting I'll
be honest with you. I think it's to some degree,
it's kind of pivoting to a running back league again,
because everybody's playing these shell defenses. They're not giving you
anything over the top, and so it's forcing you to
run more. And I think Gibbs is a sensational talent.

(09:27):
I mean, he's just one of those guys. You don't
see this very often in pro sports, but Gibbs is
one of those guys even among pro athletes, has a
different gear like he is just quicker and twitchier and
faster than fast NFL players and he's strong. So Detroit

(09:47):
when you play at home. I went four and one
on Blazing five and this was my second favorite bet
after Cleveland over Miami in harsh weather. So my favorite
two bets this week were four and one f one
back to back weeks. NFL is such a hard league
to bet. I mean, I watched Denver win. Denver shouldn't

(10:08):
have won. They trailed nineteen nothing. I had Denver minus seven.
They got their ears boxed for two and a half hours.
But this felt like these Monday night football games. Seattle,
by the way, is beating Houston as I do this.
Seattle's a great Monday night football team. Detroit's won five
straight games on Monday night football. I think many of

(10:28):
those have been at home. So it was just one
of those things. I don't think any less of Baker
and the Bucks. There are games we all watch them
and you feel like, after like two series, you just
kind of feel like all the energy is on one side.
And it felt like it was in Detroit's corner tonight
and again Dan Campbell with a patchwork defense. It's so

(10:50):
obvious what is happening in New England and Detroit if
you look at the really good teams in this league.
Nick Siriani's not a schematic whiz, He's a CEO. Tie
Pi's in Alpha. Is that what happens in Miami is
there's no leadership, twas not a strong voice. Mike McDaniel's
more of a coordinator than he is a stand in

(11:10):
front of the room and galvanize a bunch of alpha males.
You just watched Detroit and Dan Campbell. It just it works.
He has this team absolutely believing in themselves. And it
feels like that secondary for Detroit has been injury plagued
or bad forever. So much of Detroit, I like, it's

(11:31):
just I feel like they can't get the secondary solved.
The minute it's solved, it gets banged up. But they
win tonight, and I know they lost soundly to Kansas City.
They're one of the top three or four teams in
the league. To me, When you can run the football
like that, when you have that offensive line, when that

(11:52):
play with Panay Seouol, when Piney Seool moves outside like
on a sweep and he's coming down the pipe and
you're a corner or a safety, good hell. That that's
the stuff defensive backs have nightmares over. So listen, congrats

(12:13):
to Dan Campbell. Ted Lasso with a bench press. So
much of what you do as a coach is getting
these guys to believe. It's what Vrabel's done in New England.
New England. New England's got some good players. I mean
they spent some money, but they on the perimeter. You
know they're not They're not wildly explosive, but belief quarterback.
They run the ball pretty effectively. Is New England going

(12:35):
to make the herd hierarchy? Probably got to find a
spot for him. We'll see you tomorrow in FS one.
