(00:22):
It was just last week that the Bears asked for
permission Mars the interview Mike McCarthy and what did the
Cowboys say? No, that would be like you knowing that
a girl you're sort of messing around with she's not
the one, and you prevent her from maybe meeting a
(00:44):
really good guy. Like isn't that a very selfish move
with the Cowboys to be like you can't talk to him? Yeah,
but we don't want them. Maybe there's more than meetsty though.
Of course I agree with you, right, of course, But
maybe they weren't ready to pull that trigger. Maybe they
were unsure, which is never a good thing in relationships either, right.
(01:06):
Maybe it's a territorial thing. In sports, as you know,
moves are made to block the competition. Sometimes that's true,
so maybe that's also part of the thinking. But yeah,
he's gone Mike McCarthy, your thoughts on that too. We
welcome him eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. What
are your thoughts?
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Rich?
Speaker 1 (01:23):
My instinct is that again, I'm not sitting down there
with Jared Jones. Simmer down. Mit McCarthy older than I
thought sixty one? You know what? I agree? I thought
he was just an old looking fifty something. Yeah. I
thought he was like a good fifty five tops. Not
that sixty one's old by any means. Look been around
a long time, think about him in the Green Bay days,
(01:46):
But I didn't think he was sixty one. No, time's fine. Yeah,
Danny g what what is your instinct there? I was saying,
damn Bayer anyone Chi man, he's right up there, Andy
Reads sixty six? Is there the same feeling you had
when you when you heard McCarthy got let go where
you're like, man, you know what? Maybe there were some
territorial like you can't talk to him, and then they
(02:07):
didn't keep him anyway.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
I thought it was probably best for both parties to
part ways. It is just funky on how Jerry Jones operates.
And yeah, I know you can't talk to him, can't
talk to him. We have big plans and then in
a week, all of a sudden, everything has changed.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Yes, we dB there's sayings and expressions that my mom
uses all the time, but they're always better in Spanish,
and I don't speak Spanish very well. I don't speak
English very well. And there's a saying or an expression
that goes along the lines of she's or he's like
the dog that doesn't want his food but doesn't want
anyone else to have it either. So that's kind of
(02:46):
how the cowboys were acting, like, Nah, we don't want them,
but we don't want you to have them either, Oh
comito de perro and sweeth, you know, sorts of crazy expression,
no one's eating sna sanna something like that. I don't know,
but no, no, it seems wrong, but I'm sure there
(03:08):
was some reason, or maybe not, Like Dan said, maybe
it's just how Jerry Jones operate.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Jerry Jones also said that they never got to the
contract portion of it, and anybody who's been reporting on
this says it's absolutely gone to the contract portion of it,
and so I think that there's I don't know who
to believe, but I just wouldn't tend to believe Jerry
Jones in this situation that maybe Mike McCarthy's demands were
way too high and so it wasn't realistic that he
(03:35):
was going to return. But it's just interesting to see
Jerry Jones point out that they never got to the
negotiation phase even though his contract expires tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Guys, how about this saying, you know, forget about the
Spanish one, about the dog, how about never let your
left hand know what your right hand is doing. Why
should Jerry Jones as an owner give up his cards
to let everybody know that this was going to be
the case? It is big business. You know, I understand
what Rich's saying. It's a curd thing, but it is
business as competition, you know. Why put your cards out there,
(04:06):
is what I'm trying.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
There's also a trickle down effect to this, And one
of the things that wasn't pointed out aside from this is,
I'll just say this, the bears to me, interviewing twenty
different people when they haven't had a head coach since
Thanksgiving is absurd to me. Over what have you done
since at the end of November to not figure out
what type of person you want to lead your franchise?
(04:29):
So if the Bears had five interviews and they're like, Okay,
these are the guys we want it, that makes sense
because it took six weeks to figure it out. I
think the Cowboys have had five years to figure out
if they want Mike McCarthy, And if his contract expires tomorrow,
you probably have this same decision last week. But the
other domino is you have a whole staff of guys
who if they don't coach the Cowboys, who are they
(04:50):
going to coach for Whether Mike McCarthy does or doesn't
get another job, all of his assistants also need to
find work. So while amazing that Jerry Jones is being thorough,
it actually didn't do a lot of the parties and
he favors because it was a week after the regular season.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
And that's why I was investigating his age too, Because
some teams want new blood, some teams require that old
school leadership. So I was just wondering where his fit
would be. I you know, we've heard stories like in
our world, stories where I don't know, some big morning show,
the host is about to buy a house and the
program director knows they're getting fired, but lets them buy
(05:26):
the house. It's like there's a professional courtesy. But that's
the story. That's the story. But is that really the
truth exactly? For all we know? For all we know,
Jerry Jones, I'm gonna make up a scenario, but for
all we know that that boss that you just described
was handed a different budget and all of a sudden,
he's like, oh sorry, I was gonna say. For all
(05:46):
we know, Jerry Jones came to the table thinking, all right, now,
settled down, Mike McCarthy, we're gonna give you, you know.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
What, we're gon we're gonna give you this.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
We're gonna give you a year or so to get
this right, but sure, hollering, and we're going to figure it.
For all we know, Mike McCarthy came in there, they're
all cocky like, yeah you are, and you're gonna give
me a five year deal. And it's like whoa hold
what now? Hold on? So let's not all make it
look like Mike McCarthy's the victim right away, because we
don't really know what happened. But I ask you, because
(06:17):
you're a big Yankees fan, and you're saying, what does
that have to do with anything? The price of bananas?
If you're a coach in baseball, if you're a manager,
there was always, let's be honest, a mystique of like,
if you could be the manager of the Yankees, that's
as bad as as it gets in baseball, right, You're
as much as I roll my eyes at your pinstripe conversations,
(06:37):
to manage the Yankees sort of a damn honor right
in the NFL? Is it appealing to go to the
Cowboys knowing that Jerry Jones is just hovering, knowing that
there's an expectation by the fans, by ownership that like,
you better get it done, Like the leash is short,
but you're still the coach of the Cowboys? Is that like?
(06:59):
Is that appealing? I know that you're angling it to
be a position that's lost its luster, but I don't
think that's the case. I think being the manager of
the Yankees is still a highly coveted position. You're going
to get paid, but there's expectations, and I think that's
what people are scared of, you know, the expectations that
(07:21):
are required for this position at any organizations. So you
might as well coach the Cowboys, right, Like, if you're
going to coach a team. You think there's less pride
or more pride in being the coach of the Cowboys. Yeah,
there's more pressure, there's more expectations to win, but that
still comes with a lot of clout. I think whoever's
in line for that job takes that with an immense
(07:43):
sense of pride, but with that comes a lot of pressure.
I agree with that. I don't think it's a bad
thing by any means. I think people just like to
shy away from those expectations. Now, in any industry, there
comes a time where it's like, is that guy gonna
get or is that woman going to get another job?
(08:04):
Do you think Mike McCarthy after a running Green Bay,
won a Super Bowl, went to Dallas, couldn't get the
job finished. But let's be honest, a handful of twelve
and five seasons, they had good regular seasons, had some injuries.
It's it's not his fault. Does Mike McCarthy get a
job easily? Or is Mike McCarthy the type of guy that, hey,
maybe he'll throw his hat in some broadcasting, take a
(08:25):
back seat, and then re emerge like in three years. Again,
based on him being sixty one, I think option B
is more likely for a guy like him. Look at
the remding, A lot of people want to take new ideas,
younger leaders. That's just how I see it. I don't
think there's there's not a lot of Andy Reid's in
the league anymore. Who's trying to re emerge right now? Rex, Ryan,
(08:48):
maybe Gruden that you know, they also dipped out for
a while. So maybe it's time for McCarthy to reinvent
himself a little bit. Not saying he's out of it.
He can always come back, but is anyone really knocking
down his door? What do you think?
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Yeah, well, the Bears and Saints are possible landing spots
for him. But it also puts him in a in
a unique territory of how many guys have coached three
different NFL teams? We hear a lot of two. There've
been a select group that would have done four.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Bill Parcells, maybe another one did four.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
But when you really look at it, like for someone
to have four bites at the Apple, it's pretty pretty shocking,
let alone three. There's not tons and tons of coaches
I mean that have coached at three different spots, even
great coaches.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
In leadership, You're right, there comes a point where I'm
not saying it's like, eh, you gave it a shot,
you're done, but you know, like, yeah, more than two,
more than two?
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Sure, Yeah, And if you're and likely because you've won,
so you're staying at a place, and if you didn't win,
then you're not appealing to another team for a third
go at it or you know, it's it's a it's
a it's a unique spot. But McCarthy's in it. Did
have three twelve win seasons with the Cowboys in the
five years. This year obviously didn't make the postseason, but
(10:03):
he kind of fits the bill as well with the
Super Bowl with Green Bay. Wasn't like they were awful
with the Cowboys, so yeah, he could get his chance
at a third team.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Yeah, the Cowboys have always been good enough under his reign.
So that's where the problem is. It's sort of that
Tomlin purgatory that a lot of people talk about with Pittsburgh.
There is something to be said about it. I've won,
but they haven't won when and where it matters. We've
talked about that many times over the years that when
(10:31):
you're like good in the NFL, like sometimes being good,
it's like the worst place to be because you're not
forced to make real moves because people are still coming
in to watch, You're still making money and at the beginning, middle,
and end of the day, that's what it's all about.
Are you filling the seats? And they have been.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
We talked about Bill Belichick on the show last week
in regards to Tom Brady and Richard Seymour in the
new leadership with the Raiders. I'm not alone in this.
I always just assumed that the Cowboys job would be
the perfect landing spot for Belichick. I know he's close
to the Jones family and it just seemed like he
would fit in there. And I read this morning that
(11:09):
through back channels, the Cowboys never gave him a clue
that their job would be open.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
I'm gonna take a hot take deon Sanders bro Well,
you know he know who doesn't want the on apparently
your Raiders like no thanks, Yeah, but Dion prime time
for America's team. I mean he did win a Super
Bowl or two with the Jerry in that uniform. Man,
you never know, you don't know what they're cooking, dude,
and a guy like him would embrace That's the thing.
(11:35):
You need a coach that's going to embrace the expectations
in the pressure. A guy like Primetime leans into that.
He'll lean into that and own that. You know, will
he succeed, I don't know, but he's the guy built
for that type of position. Somebody angles here. But my
favorite takeaway might be what we sort of talked out
with Dan Bier a second ago. You see coaches get
so many coaches get the second shot, then very few
(11:59):
get three, and then when you start thinking about four,
because you got to think of the progression to get
to you had to be successful in the first spot. Yeah,
and we're talking head coaching position. Yeah, to get a
third spot, that means you probably were a champion somewhere.
It didn't work out at the second place. And someone's like,
all right, third time, you know it'll work out. Here.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
I have a list of the most coaching wins, and
you don't want to know who is the most coaching
wins that was in three spots only. And this will
go to your maybe your your point. Dan Reeves, great example,
went to Denver, Denver, then went to the Giants, and
then at the end of his career, the Falcons led
him to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Where they lost against Yes, the broncos Man. Yeah, I
almost feel like Pete Carroll, great example. Yeah, but I
feel like the four. That's the thing a lot of
these guys will get if you have success. It makes sense, right,
like look at it like divorces. We've talked about this. Man,
(13:00):
I thought i'd go at least a day. It's only Monday,
and Rich had to bring up my divorce over. No,
I didn't bring up your divorce.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
You know.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Sorry, I know you're Cavino. God damn Buyer. I'll not
bringing up your divorce. But a lot of times, if
you have a friend that's divorced and then they find
love again, you're like, yeah, half the people in the
world get divorced. Second job, right, second job? Now, Now
if you the second time, god forbid, you lose a spouse,
there's an issue or something like you could maybe get
(13:27):
it wrong two times, third job, third spouse. No one's
really going to buy it if you're on number four now,
so three No, if it's by the third one, you
might be the problem. But what I'm saying is by
the third one one, you're definitely out, much like a marriage.
By the third head coaching job, you better get it
(13:49):
right by the fourth time, people are talking about you
behind your back.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
I do know someone who is on number four and
the fourth one is the best one that they've had.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Really, they finally got it. But like they say, fourth times.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Yes, they say, but there's reasons, like the second one
was just a complete wash out, just like Marty Schottenneimer
only had one season with Washington, like that one really
doesn't count, like we have a few.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
One of our best female friends got married when she
was eighteen to a guy for like a year, Like
does that count? I don't know it does, but you
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
So I think, much like marriages, great people, great coaches
are gonna get three shots. By the fourth one. It's like,
I don't know, you think they deserve a fourth shots,
Maybe they should just give up on And when they do,
it's it's a true testament to their resume and their
ability to coach, because not everybody gets that opportunity. So
I think a guy like Mike McCarthy should pick and
(14:43):
choose wisely what the third step is. Because you want
a Super Bowl in Green Bay, you lived off of
that enough to get a great job in Dallas. You
had success and people still look at you as you know,
super Bowl champion coach. You get the third job. Let's
say he goes to the Bears for two three years
and it stinks. Then Mike mccarth that you might be like,
dude lost the luster.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
How about getting remarried to the same team dB. Does
Artshall lead that list?
Speaker 1 (15:09):
It's like Billy Martin and Lupenell. Does that count when
like steybren And flipped the coin and he's like this
year I want no deally want brings up an interesting point.
Three is elite territory, like it's rare and exceptional. And
we say that in entertainment there's only a handful of
people that have three different franchises like Sylvester stallone meaning Rocky,
(15:31):
Rambo and Expendables, right, like three is really to get
three you have to be you have to be a
proven box office.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Draw three different roles like we we rave how ed
O'Neil so great modern family and obviously is Al Bundy
like now is like the next territory for him is
to do three is tough? Yes, Like just to do
one more is? What?
Speaker 1 (15:53):
To strike twice is incredible? What a great observation. Three times.
You've got to be stallone level. That's a great thing.
That's the observation of the day. Forget a j. Brown
reading books and uh, you know Josh Allen hugging referees
three times is for the elite. Yeah, name, there's only
a few. Name one other than Stillone or the coaches
(16:16):
we've already mentioned. Mike McCarthy could be in that category,
but nay, Matt. We talked about Harrison Ford, Harrison Ford,
Jones Star Wars and also Jones and also the the
other what was it guarding the President? Wasn't that franchises?
That's tough. That's tough. You know, you talk about people
(16:37):
that have had success multiple times. I'll shout her out
because today's her birthday. But uh, Mary Richard Dreyfuss with
her Mary Ay Richard Julia Dreyfus, Yeah, Julia, Louis d
the Mary you know Richard d close enough. Elaine from Seinfeld.
I didn't watch the show, but New Adventures of Voltchristine
was successful. It was a good show, and and Veep
(16:58):
was an award winning show. And Seinfeld that's rare company.
It's it's her birthday today and you know what, very
rare company to say you're part of three big things.
So again, if Mike McCarthy gets another shot, that just
proves that my name could strike twice striking three times. Man,
that's that's crazy luck or crazy fortunate based on your resume.
(17:20):
Like Dan said before, So.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
By the way, really quick Patriot Games and Claire in
Present Danger. That was the Jack Ryan franchise. They have
him listed as Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Blade Runner and
Jack Ryan.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
About Keanu Bill and Ted Matrix and John Wicky. You
know what, it's Kean who would not want to be
in that can got to be on a search. Yeah,
you gotta be on a certain level of awesome. Is
Mike McCarthy there? Does he wait? Does he hit the booth?
Does he end up somewhere right away? Does he reconnect
with Aaron Rodgers? I was trying to figure that out.
(17:53):
Oh you and I were, Is there a place where
that gonna happen? That's that's a wild thought McCarthy and
Aaron Rodgers. But you know what, I mentally stole this
and I thought that I'm sorry Rich because he spoke
super highly. I was really impressed that Mike McCarthy gave
his time for that Netflix documentary. I really was he
gave his time for that. Spoke really high of Aaron Rodgers,
(18:16):
and you know, I knew they had a good relationship,
but it really said a lot to me. He was
wearing his cowboy uniform talking about Aaron Rodgers on some
BS Netflix thing. You know, I was like, yeah, he
must have a lot of respect for that dude to
put a little bow on this conversation and that Aaron
Rodgers thought you and I were talking about it during
the break And again I stole this from just this thought,
from just some dumb image as on Twitter or something
(18:37):
where someone had Aaron Rodgers in a Steeler's uniform. Ooh,
and it's not crazy when you think about the narrative
that the Steelers are in purgatory, which sounds crazy because
you think to yourself, wait, you've won eight, nine, ten, eleven,
twelve games. Mike Tomin doesn't have a losing record ever,
(18:59):
but again, sometimes there's nothing worse than being good enough
to sneak in the playoffs, but never make noise. Doesn't
he have one season where it was maybe five hundred
or something, yeah, five no, but never under it never
under right.
Speaker 6 (19:11):
So they haven't won a playoff game since January of
twenty seventeen.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
So Tomlin, who again is in you know, are arguably
football purgatory with that team. I'll tell you a way
to blow it up one way or the other. Justin
Fields and Russell Wilson both you know, are not signed
beyond what if for one year you say, let's bring
(19:37):
in Aaron Rodgers and either it becomes a wild season
of you'll look at Aaron Rodgers after a year removed
from the injury. Bringing Aaron Rodgers for one year and
then if it goes terrible, then you know what you
got after that, a big draft pick. You move down
the board, you go four and thirteen, It's like, man,
Aaron Rodgers really is done. And then at least you
have the clarity to know it's time to move on
(20:00):
and you blew it up. It's restarting, right, But Aaron Rodgers,
it's like, uh, you know, Derek, compare it to you know,
some of the players you're Yankee. I love some of
your Yankee moves because Goldschmidt, Bellinger like these, if they stink, eh,
what did you really lose? And if they're great. Wow,
what a great high risk uh, low risk ky reward situation.
(20:21):
Many times the Dodgers did that with Kershaw. I'm like,
what a great deal, low risk kyrieward. That's the craziest
thought because Aaron Rodgers doesn't apparently em like he's doesn't
seem sold on returning to the Jets, and Tomlin likes Rodgers.
Tomlin likes Rogers, So what if he went to Pittsburgh
one year and then if things don't go well, it'll
(20:44):
be terrible, but at least the Pittsburgh steel Loose will
have the clear obvious vibe to all right, we're gonna
draft a quarterback move on officially, but if he's great,
then you have a really fun playoff run with Aaron Rodgers.
To me, I just think it sounds ridiculous, But there's
something there that's fine. So Mike McCarthy out. Now, we
get into it. We do it every Monday. Things that
(21:05):
make you go hmm. But first, an update from the
Great Dan by What's up DV.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
As you guys have been talking about Mike McCarthy not
returning as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys is expected
to speak with the Bears and Saints about their head
coaching vacancies. Mike Vrabel officially introduced today as the head
coach of the New England Patriots.
Speaker 7 (21:22):
When I started my coaching career, like, I think, it
was important for me to go somewhere else, to start
another coaching journey. The opportunity at one point was probably
presented itself to be here at coaching, but I felt
like it was important to forge my own path somewhere else.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Who's winning tonight, Minnesota or Los Angeles? Minnesota Vikings all day,
no offense. What if Los Angeles is like, now, we're
doing it for Palisades, man, We're doing it for all
the victims. They got something to play for. As I
said to you the other day, doesn't believe in that.
I don't believe in that sentiment because I got proof.
You want to know why I got proof. The only
(22:05):
time I ever root it for the Yankees in my
life was All one and they lost after nine, and
I got proof. Prett Favre when his dad died, he
was playing for something. He won most of his games
the Saints after Hurricane Katrina. Yeah, people step up in
big moments.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
The Chargers then pregame they were showing all their LA
fire gear dud.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
That's the whole debate in itself. Rich does not believe in,
like I call it, to do it for Johnny, to
do it for Johnny. I don't believe in doing for
Johnny Rich I do. I believe sometimes you need the
extra something to fight for man and to play for.
But I do think that Minnesota's got this tonight about
a year ago because I keep notes in a journal
(22:43):
of all the arguments. Could you know? And I've gotten
in he go back to the archives. We had a
debate once about sort of like do it for Johnny,
but the sentiment was One of my pet peeves in
sports is when someone goes, oh, they want it more,
and I'm like, no one wants it more. They all
want it tonight. Don't tell me Sam Darnold or Matthew
(23:04):
Stafford one of them want it more than the other.
They all want it on No one's a professional athlete
and they don't want it. That's not true.
Speaker 6 (23:12):
What about desperation though, it's kind of one of the same, Right,
who's more desperate?
Speaker 1 (23:16):
And if everybody on the Buccaneers wanted it the same
way that Baker Mayfield wants it. I think they would
have won yesterday. That dude wants it. You don't see
the difference. Can I tell you Tom Brady who people
love or hate? In the booth he was stroking. He
was like Clarence Carter, is that the right artist? Yeah?
Cat stroke him to the left. He was stroking Josh Jacobs.
(23:40):
And how many times yesterday did Tom Brady say if
everyone played with the intensity of Josh Jacobs, Like there
was a moment where you're like, yo, Packers play up
to the intensity of Jacobs, like you must be said
you lost him, Danny. Let's be honest on the Raiders. Yeah,
Josh Jacobs played yesterday. If you if everyone played with
that intensity, And right when Tom Brady's done talking about that,
(24:02):
that's when Jacob's rumbled for that where he almost hit
the end zone where he dragged four eagles with him.
It's amazing, by the way, this all leads us to
something we do every Monday. We reflect and we go
over things that made you go hmmmm, things that make
you go, things that make you go. Any observations from
(24:26):
this weekend could be in entertainment, could be in the NBA,
but primarily the NFL, or college football. There's lots of
great football this weekend. Any of your observations, feel free
to hit us up at eight seven, seven ninety nine
m Fox or at Covino and Rech at Fox Sports Radio.
This is where you get involved. You make the call.
You would think I'm gonna start with like AJ Brown
his book or something you said, it could be about anything, anything.
(24:48):
Then I'm gonna say that Robbie Williams movie where they
portrayed him as a CGI chimp. Yeah, they're saying might
be one of the biggest box office busts of all time.
It made one million dollars. You know why, It's because
he never translated here in America. Most Americans like, who's
Robbie Williams When he's a big deal overseas. No Robbie
Williams the pop star in England. The theory goes like this,
(25:12):
they like their superstars to be like them, a guy
that you'd see at the pub, that you root for.
In America, you know, we wanted our celebrities to own
a chimpanzee, you know, so we wanted to have celebrities
on a pedestal. So guys like Robbie Williams never translated
to us. But a true king over there. You know
(25:35):
they love him over there. So there's a documentary about him.
You've seen the monkey on the cover of Rolling Stone.
That's the movie Better Man, and no one's really buying
into it. A cooler version of that is Pharrell, like
you said, where he did a documentary about himself, but
he used legos to portray everyone. Yeah, that's a great
one if you like music or documentaries. Definitely worth the watch.
It's called Peace by Piece. It's fun for the whole
(25:56):
family because it's lego based. But yeah, everybody knows for real,
not everybody into Robbie Williams. Not a surprise now, clearly.
The number one thing is it's so right up our alley.
Things that made you go, hmm. The Philadelphia Eagles look
like a team that's gonna, you know, maybe cruise right
to the NFC Championship game. They look good. Okay, they
may come alight from the start. But can I say,
(26:17):
because this ties into what you're about to say, that
fumble special teams in the beginning of the game. If
our eyes could see that, it looked like Green Bay
recovered it. And then there's a big, giant mysterious pylon, Like,
I hate that rule. That's the lamest rule when the Yeah,
it was the aerial shot that let us see is
(26:38):
it like? It's like baseball. Remember we found out there
in the baseball playoffs that we on TV were getting
angles the replay room wasn't getting because if you watch
that overhead view that Tom Brady and our buddy Kate
Me Kevin Burkott were talking about, there's a clear moment
where the Green Bay Packer gets possession. He's holding the
ball for a few seconds, he's down. We all saw it.
(26:58):
Why why is that not a We all understand that, Hey,
someone's biting his arm in the pile up and somehow
he got away with it. But how is that? Okay,
I know it's been that way and it's always been.
I don't in a game like that, it just doesn't
seem fair. It doesn't seem right.
Speaker 6 (27:14):
Also, it is a helmet to helmet collision penalty.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
The whole thing was like, oh come on, man, it
a weird tone, right, It's absolutely set a weird tone
for the RADII. It was a clean hit. Yeah, I
don't know, old school all right, So Tom is very
old school when it comes to stuff like that. We
watch that game and you know, Eagles look good.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
A J.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Brown caught on the sideline reading an inspirational book mid game.
Now there's so many layers to this where some people
are like, yeah, listen, who is who are you to
tell a grown athlete who's one of the best what
gets his mind right or what what levels him during
a game? It's AJ Brown. This isn't some putts. This
(27:53):
is one of the best receivers in the National Football League?
Did you ask this honor off the before we get
to the phone calls. Rich never stops talking, so it
gets a little confusing if it was on or off
the air. Facts you said you wanted to go around
the room and ask how much Russell Wilson will get
next year? Oh yeah, good, Yeah, I'd said that off
(28:14):
the air. But yeah, real quickly before we get to
all your observations, because in Dan Buyer's update, he said
Russ said he would like to stay with the Steelers
based on what you see Purdy wanting and you saw
what they paid. You know, Baker and Dak and Trevor
Lawrence and all these guys. Where do you where do
you put a thirty six year old Russell Wilson. Now,
(28:36):
that's the thing. He so visibly isn't the guy he
used to be. He's still good, right and having a
good season with the Steelers definitely keeps his value up there.
But he's not superstar money at all. Is he willing
to accept that and take that? That's the story, that's
the question here. I think he gets like thirty two
million a year. Now, to give a little perspective, Baker
(28:58):
has a three year, one hundred million deal. So Baker's
three years, one hundred million, Gino Smith three years seventy five.
I ask you, where does where does the front office
land with Russell Wilson? And is he willing to be
like a mentor for somebody else. If that's the case,
(29:20):
maybe you try to get him for two years. Otherwise
I think he's a year to year guy. What do
you think, Daniel?
Speaker 5 (29:24):
He had to give you some more context here. He's
making thirty He made thirty nine million this past season.
Steelers only had to pay one point twenty one million
of that because the Broncos picked up the rest.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Yeah, easy for him to be happy in you know,
Pittsburgh when someone else is picking up the tap right
exactly like you eat nicely when the boss is paying. Yeah,
and he's good, but he's not elite anymore. Yeah, he's
not Jaden Daniels. You know, he's not that caliber of
a player anymore. It's just not that type of guy. So, yeah,
if he were a stock, he's not on. He's not
with an arrow up right. I would say low thirties.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
I say, it's probably like a one year deal worth
like seven million dollars.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Saw like way that low? Huh? You know, and what
is he gonna do? Not take it? You're dB? I
was like to say that because I was thinking what
Cavino was saying, and I'm like, yeah, but like if
if the Steeler said no, then who else is gonna say, oh, Russ,
here's thirty or forty mel So.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Donald had a one year, ten million dollar deal with
the Vikings, but I think that there were there were
two Donald needed it to revitalize his career, and the
Vikings are like, hey, maybe if we do can get
this guy on the cheap, let's let's go for it.
And now it's ended up working out. I don't think
it's a two way street. In Russell Wilson's situation. I
just think it's somebody who may need a quarterback and
(30:44):
they don't want to spend a lot on it, and
so if he's available, they'll do it. But I mean,
even Baker before he got his three year deal, you know,
played under believe that one year deal with the Buccaneers
and then ended up getting his contract.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
So he's just going to be a bridge guy. Yeah,
that's what I mean.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
I don't know why this just popped in my head,
maybe a little more than you said, Russ one year
twelve mil, like, because there is like a sentiment of
I know it's business, but there is some layer of
insulting when a guy used to be the number one guy. Right.
It's like a baseball player when you see a guy
that was signing those big contracts in the two thousands
and now you're like, oh, what are they getting him
(31:21):
one year for mil? That's always part of it. You know.
We started off the show talking about where Mike McCarthy goes. Hey,
he comes at a high price tag just because of
who he is in his resume.
Speaker 5 (31:30):
Would you guys feel the same way about Russell Wilson
if he had not slumped in those last five games?
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Yes, yeah, I mean I feel like him and the
team was exposed. Yeah, last five games are tough but interesting.
Just something to think about because it is funny how
we're all over the place like that could well. The
thing is you have to imagine that he would be
worth thirty ish if he's already making thirty nine because
(31:55):
and he's not making, you know, over forty even though
guys like Daniel Jones all right, but not anymore. But
who's going to be willing to pay him that much?
That's the thing. So yeah, he might have to settle
for like dance at seven. Man, that's tough, so weaks.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
You also makes you think that Denver was out of
their mind. They gave him two hundred and forty three
million dollars.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
That's crazy, dude. You know what, Danny, we got a
lot of phones. But real quick before we go to
the phones, any any thoughts on the A. J. Brown
book thing? We say we danced around it because there
were so many there were so many layers to it.
And here's what AJ Brown actually said about reading the
book on the sideline excellent. Yeah, why why do you
read during the games? And what does it bring to you? Man?
(32:38):
It giving me a sense of pieceness. Piece.
Speaker 5 (32:41):
That's a book that I bring every single game, and
you know, my teammates called it the rest of game.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
You know, that's the first time I heard that. Y'all
got me my camera. That's not a first game. You know.
It got a lot of points in there. It's a
lot of mental games, a lot of mental parts about it.
You know, it's for me. You know his game is mental.
So it's called inner Excellence, Sam said us by Joe Murphy.
So if I'm wrong, blame Sam. But it is called
inner Excellence, featured on LeVar Burton's Reading Rainbow, I believe.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
So.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Yeah, but that part we're making up. But it's highlighted
pages of things that improve his mental skills, right, So
it's like a self help book of sorts. And I
think that's what matters, because I mean, TikTok could get
your Jim.
Speaker 6 (33:28):
Murphy, Jim Murphy's mistake, mistake.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
I mean, TikTok for the next six days could be
something that clears your mind in some sort of ways.
I wouldn't say that's productive for his gain. Some people
they're looking at plays, right because they need to refocus.
If this is what helps him refocus, and it's a
mental health book. I find no issue or problem with that,
and I'm sure the team is aware that this is
something that settles him and gets him on the right
(33:51):
track and fierce's mind. I think it matters what it is.
Speaker 5 (33:55):
If you were one of the coaches, though, wouldn't you
want him to be looking at one of the tablets.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
But if this is what clears his mind, I want
everyone to feel one confident and at their best in
that moment. It's not like he was reading Petunia Puddle
Duck right, It's not there stupid kid's book. He was
reading something that helps his brain. Wait, what is he reading?
There's a monster at the end of this book. Yeah,
with Grover, he's not reading The Puppy Who Lost His
(34:22):
Way with He's not playing on social media, he's not
doing words with friends, he's not doing a crossword puzzle.
He's again, this is a highlighted book to enhance his
mental skills. So maybe that clears his mind so that
he could focus on the field. I don't know his
train track of thoughts, but I'm saying the content matters
in this case. My first thought was, honestly, with Kavina.
(34:45):
My first instinct when I saw him, I'm like, that's
a J. Brown. I'm talking about a guy who's a
top ten elite wide receiver in the NFL. He doesn't
need Joe Schmoe's being like, what are you reading? While
you're reading he's a J. Brown. But if you dig
a little deeper and you really think about how the
last couple of years got caught one hundred plus catches
(35:07):
fifteen hundred is yards. This year sixty seven catches, one
thousand yards, you know, missed a couple of games, hasn't
been targeted the way he'd like vocal about. Earlier in
the season, there was a rub about that. Yep. It
almost seemed like I'm not very much part of the
game plan. One catch ten yards right when you when
(35:28):
you at that point when you catch one ball for
ten yards at that point of the game and you're
reading a book on the sideline, I just think optically
it paints a different picture. You know what it's like
when you when your wife says that she's not mad
at you, but you know she's mad at you, or
(35:51):
clearly you've upset someone but they're they're like, no, no,
I'm cool. I'm cool. You're like, they're not cool, like
he he is? He just in us for the fool.
Like the dude's reading a book on the sideline. It's
an NFL playoff game. Man, I get it. He's getting focused.
But like Cavino said, what what if what focused him
was scrolling through asses on TikTok? Is he gonna be like, yeah,
(36:14):
maybe that's what I'm saying. These content matters. Content matters. Yeah,
but that's what I'm saying, Like because a mental health book.
And I think you know he's trying to either he's
trying to bring his best or like Rich said, he's
trolling us and he's just really saying, I'm bored out
here and I couldn't care less. I've heard NFL players
say in regards to this retired guys that you know,
(36:34):
there are guys that have unorthodox way. Unorthodox way is
a prepping for a game or getting in the right mindset, meditating,
saying prayers, listening to music. You see guys like Nick
bos like slamming their helmet like remember like uh, Jim
Harbaugh will go to his quarterback and slam their shoulder pads.
Like there's different ways to get guys in his zone. Yeah,
think about this. Hold on, I'm sorry to interrupt Ridge.
I think this goes with what you're saying. Though we've
(36:55):
seen for years people with their beats headphones on before again,
this is before the game. I get it. But that's
what gets them into that mental space. I'm thinking what
he's saying is true and that's what is helping him
get into that mental space. A guy that's elite like
AJ Brown, you could argue, well, to get to that
level physically mentally, this guy needs to be elite and
(37:16):
of reading these passages and stuff, get some focus. That's
one thing. But I think we'd be rich. Every day
before the show he always reads his passage he has
on his phone. It says I'm good enough, I'm strong enough,
and Doug Garnet people like me. I have a question.
Speaker 8 (37:28):
Was the book stashed at the bench or did he
carry it out of the tunnel with him.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
That's a great question. I think it was.
Speaker 3 (37:34):
You know, it's they don't have like a bagger anything correct,
It's it's this happened during my show yesterday. This was
going on, and it's the question as well of like
are you running out of the tunnel with a backpack,
you know, like, are you is it tucking like his pain?
But it was he was sitting on the sidelines. And
I would love I would love Cavino to watch this video.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
Yeah, I know it looks bad.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
It looks so bad. You want to know why as well.
There's a couple of reasons. He doesn't go to a
bookmarked page. He just opens it. So you're just going
to randomly open a page to get your motivation.
Speaker 8 (38:07):
Maybe had a little like earmarked, you know, like you
fold down one of the.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
Corners of there appears to be a bookmark, and he
just opens the middle of the book and is just
sitting there.
Speaker 5 (38:17):
To your point, TV, in that clip we heard, he
doesn't say anything specific about what he's like, Oh, there's
mental parts to it. Yeah, it's a self empnment, but
of course there's mental parts to it.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
Guys, this pissed me off so much. Sorry.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
There been times there in yours. I see Kerry Roach
grabs a book, right, he just.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
Carry probably falls asleep when I'm talking rambling on like
I am now.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
No, no, no, here's what I'm trying to say though, Dan,
And this is for real, I see what you see,
and we're looking at it. As we said, it's very arbitrary,
you see, and and everybody could see that, right, it
looks bad. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt
of this is what gets him inspired in some such way,
and it's playful response. Also, well, you know, guys, come on,
(39:02):
I'm just reading a book.
Speaker 3 (39:03):
Here's my other point of this. Here's my other point
of this. How do you guys read books?
Speaker 9 (39:10):
Now?
Speaker 3 (39:10):
The audio books with my eyeshot tablets tablets. If he
had this book on a tablet, we would think he's
looking at plays, which we would be like, okay, he's studying.
The visual of a book is like I've checked out.
You can get checked out a book. It's like vacation.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
To a pool.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
Is he making a statement or is he for real?
That's really the question. It's a statement that I'm so bored,
I'm not involved in the game plan. I'm going to
read a book. Let me tell you. I try not
to be I try not to be spiteful, but there
are times where I've kindly asked my wife and kids,
like listen, can you can you straighten up some of
the kids toys? Honey? When I come like when I
(39:53):
come home from work. The number one thing that annoys
me is when my kids stuff is everywhere. Also make
me a sandwich. Stop it. But sometimes I will like,
and I'm ashamed to himIt this. Sometimes I like trip
over a toy, be like, God, God, damn toy on purpose,
just to sort of in a way, show like, there's
(40:15):
damn toys everywhere. Dad almost tripped.
Speaker 9 (40:18):
A J.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
Brown is doing the dad almost tripped because your toys
are everywhere. I'm so bored. I one catch. I'm a
guy that catches fifteen hundred yards a year, not a
one touch for ten yard guy. I'm so bored. Someone
give me a I'm gonna read the comics or or
or hold on. This is a mental health book, right,
mental skills of books to help. I'm just playing. And
(40:41):
again I'm not naive. I'm playing Devil's advocate. Maybe the
fact that he's not getting the ball the way he
wanted to puts him in a mental space where he
wants to punch someone in the face. And he knows
that reading these words calms him down. Right, look at it, right? Yeah?
He also like, yeah, person, and I'm playing Devil's asses.
(41:01):
If you watch the video.
Speaker 8 (41:02):
Like Dan said, he also like purses his lips in
a way like he's like mm hmm, He's like, I
see it.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
Pull out the book.
Speaker 3 (41:11):
If you're his wide receivers coach, or you're his offensive coordinator,
if you're Nick sirianni as head coach, you would say,
you know what, Aj needs this on the sidelines. Let's
download a book. Let's put it on a tablet, and
if he needs to go through, he can go to it.
And we wouldn't have known. We honestly would have thought
he'd be looking at plays if he was reading that tablet.
But no, this is an actual physical book that he
(41:34):
brought out.
Speaker 1 (41:35):
Some people don't like tablet reading.
Speaker 8 (41:37):
The only reason why he hates it prefers a physical book.
Speaker 1 (41:40):
The only reason why this wasn't a bigger deal was
because the Eagles won in a clear victory. If the
Eagles are down in the third quarter and Aj Brown's
reading the book, all right, I have another question. He
is different. I have another question. Remember I said content matters. Yeah,
the name of this book is Inner Excellence. Okay, And
again I'm playing Devil's advocate based on what he said
and what the story is it's a highlight he said,
(42:00):
a highlighted page to improve mental skills. If it was
to make a statement, then why not make an actual
statement with some you know, snarky title, an actual book
that may say something backhanded about being you know, wasting
your time or being bored, a subtle art of not
giving an f yet exactly, we're not going to make
(42:21):
a statement, and why not put out pull out some
some stupid kids book or something like that, you know,
that way, it would really make the point. This This
says to me that he he has a book that
was helping his mental health.
Speaker 3 (42:35):
Rich may remember this NFC Championship game two years ago
forty nine Ers Eagles.
Speaker 2 (42:41):
First play from scrimmage for the.
Speaker 3 (42:42):
Philadelphia Eagles was a pass to AJ Brown, and that
was because AJ Brown was sulking in their win the
week prior against the New York Giants, where he had
three catches in that playoff victory over the Giants. So
in the NFC Championship Game A, they had to make
sure that AJ Brown was involved right away so we
(43:04):
wouldn't sulk and it wouldn't be the issue that he
had developed all week long. This is not new with
AJ Brown. This is not a one off situation. So
I appreciate Cavino being Devil's advocate, but Rich is one
hundred percent correct.
Speaker 1 (43:16):
I think there's like, like you said, I do hate
that type of attitude. It's almost it's so awesomely strategic
because he has the answer for everything, like it's a
self help book. What because then it's mental health and
I'm in the right spot. But you never want to
question anybody on mental health either. I said, right now,
if I took my headphones off and I'm like, you
know what, I had enough of Rich's face and the
(43:39):
bosses and walked out, and the bosses an issue that
I'm like, well, I need a mental health Yeah. COVID
almost feels.
Speaker 5 (43:45):
Like a double diss in a way, like I'm gonna
you know what I'm mad about, but you can't really
question it because then you're questioning what you're not allowed
to anymore in our country.
Speaker 1 (43:55):
Exactly, all right, See, hey, look, I'm just trying to
explore it. That's all your thoughts. At eighty seven to
seven ninety nine on Fox, it's weird. No one can
deny that it's a weird. Look in the nineteen ninety
nine film Varsity Blues. If you recall James Vanderbeek's character
used to sit on the bench and read a book
because he was getting passed over by.
Speaker 8 (44:13):
Paul Walker who was playing out there, and he was
just a backup quarterback waiting to play.
Speaker 1 (44:17):
So what you're saying is a book on the sidelines
is a visual of apathy and frustration. Yes, just saying.
Speaker 2 (44:24):
Imagine if I was reading a book right now during
your show. How offended would you be.
Speaker 1 (44:30):
If you were just say, there's some guy that runs
works on our show once a while, and he's on
his iPad the whole time and out of me planning
another show while you were doing this show. Right, it's
we've seen it, and it does rub us the wrong
way for sure. So look, optically, I get it. But
exploring the story here about aj Brown. Things that made
us go hmmm this past weekend, some great games, a
(44:54):
nice win from the Eagles either way. So let's go
to the phones real quick, seven ninety nine on Fox.
Who do we got? All? Right?
Speaker 5 (45:02):
Let's start with Richard in Wrightwood, California. Sure, what's up about?
Speaker 9 (45:06):
Sure?
Speaker 4 (45:07):
What's up?
Speaker 9 (45:07):
Guys?
Speaker 4 (45:08):
You know?
Speaker 1 (45:08):
Right? What I might go after this weekend, a little
nice little tubing and skiing area, right, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 9 (45:13):
Yeah, Hey, listen, any coach, in my opinion, any coach
has been an ex coach of the Cowboys, when you're
considering their victors, you should give him a mulligan because
you know.
Speaker 10 (45:25):
You got Jerry Jones. He's a medaling owner. He makes
bad decisions. He gives Dak Prescott, a B quarterback a
plus money. The guy is know what he's doing, and
that's what McCarthy has to work with.
Speaker 1 (45:40):
That is, and he's missing a GM to work with
when Jerry Jones thinks that he's the be all, end
all decision maker when it comes to that. So you're
saying McCarthy has done pretty well in spite of Jerry Jones.
Danny j Bob in Michigan. What's up, Bobby, Hey Bob, Hey.
Speaker 4 (45:56):
Guys, Hey, Hey, I heard you guys on the PP
Show quite a while back, and he became an immediate fan.
Speaker 1 (46:02):
So thanks for all you do. Hey, thanks for giving
us a shot man.
Speaker 4 (46:06):
No problem. Hey, I wanted to go back to the
last dollar sec but something you guys were talking about
people that had like three acts and they were like
a winner more than once. That's something they did. And
the guy that came to my mind was Captain Kirk
William Shatner. He had Star Trek, he had Star Trek obviously,
(46:30):
J Hooker, TJ Hooker. And then the third one was
my favorite character that he did was Denny Crane, which
was from Law and Order?
Speaker 9 (46:40):
Was it?
Speaker 1 (46:40):
Yeah? Yeah, he was on one of those shows. And
dude still doing it on The Unexplained and everything else.
Like what a legend that guy is. Absolutely, that was
an interesting conversation if you missed it, Danny ge will
put on the podcast. You know not only coaches. We
just sort of said, when you think about it, to
get three you know, to strike lightning strikes, that's the expression.
(47:01):
When it strikes three times, that's that's a rare company. Yeah.
So if you're Mike McCarthy and you do get a
third head coaching job, that means you're really good.
Speaker 5 (47:10):
And before we move on to last one standing, Andy
in Rhode Island's gonna.
Speaker 2 (47:13):
Wrap it up.
Speaker 1 (47:14):
What's up?
Speaker 9 (47:16):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (47:17):
Hey, what's upbody? What's up? Bro?
Speaker 9 (47:20):
Hey? Guys?
Speaker 11 (47:21):
So things to make me that made me say, watching
the Buccaneers versus the Commanders, Hey, shout out to the
command is also you know, twenty years streak of not
winning in the playoffs, So shout out to them. Lighting
up for the final kick, the kickers all eyes on him,
the cameras on him. I must have austed his hair.
Speaker 1 (47:42):
Yeah, that was so funny, dude, that is like, no
can I can I say? That's like Cavino getting ready
for an event. That's like a show me you're nervous
without I knew you were going to say that on
the show.
Speaker 5 (47:52):
And then a story came out this morning that he
does battle with OCD.
Speaker 1 (47:56):
Oh really, yeah? Can why that that divisional doink? Wash?
How's that nail bier? But cheeks were clenched? The OCD
he speaks of, you know, which is a real thing
there there when when you need to do something obsessively
like that. It's it's so apparently he needed his hair

appreciate you, budd if you know, let me tell you
where the hat and thought came from, though I thought
maybe he had that overseas crowd. Yeah, so anyway, thank
you guys. That was fun. D B. Let's get an update,
big winner. What's up? The next round?
Speaker 3 (57:42):
Would have been interesting? If I could name another boxer,
I thought, we'll never know.
Speaker 1 (57:50):
Tonight game starts hour and ten minutes. Vikings favored by
two and a half. I said it earlier. We all
lost our barleys. By the way, I was said, did
you know that after game one six out of seven
of us had already lost our parlay? After Game one
Chargers Texans. Danny G was the only one that picked
(58:11):
the Texans, and I was like, man, Danny's the only
one that's alive in our six leg parlay, and then
the night game, he's the guy that pick the Steelers.
So I'm like, now we're all.
Speaker 5 (58:19):
I didn't pick the Steelers. I said they would cover
the points because I said Ravens by seven. Well, I
hate myself for thinking that the Steelers could be in
the game.
Speaker 1 (58:28):
Yeah, well you know what, Vegas don't want to hear
your excuses, Danny j We all lost our parlays. But tonight,
I said it from the beginning. It was my favorite
game of the week. I loved it when it was
one point, essentially a pick them, but Minnesota minus two
and a half. I know the game is in Arizona.
It's not on the road anymore, which is why the
Rams no longer are getting a little home field advantage.
But tonight Arizona Rams hosting the Vikings. What I'm not
(58:52):
even gonna ask you about tonight because I think the
Vikings are just a better team, even though the Rams
healthy are able to compete with anyone. I think you're
going to see a big bounce back from Sam Darnold.
I think the Vikings lighted up tonight. Here's my question
for you, which of these matchups would you rather see
next week? Because all the other games are set. The
winner of this game plays the Eagles in Philadelphia. Do
(59:14):
you want to see the Vikings go to Philly? Or
do you want to see the Rams go to Philly? Like?
What to you is the matchup there's more appealing. Not
only am I kissing the Boss's ass because he's a
big fan, our buddy Rocket Dog Matt ellis also a
big fan, But I just do want to see the
Vikings Eagles. So that's my answer, regardless Vikings. Now, I
(59:41):
know it was a little while back, it was like
around Thanksgiving Ish time Eagles came out here to LA
and they whoop the Rams. And I know that was
before everyone was healthy for the Rams, But I don't know.
There's a part of me that says, if you want
to see a real game next week, if you want
to see a matchup, you got it. You got to
(01:00:01):
turn to Vikings Eagles next week. That's it would only
make sense, right because when we talk about what teams
we expected to be there, the NFC North representing of
course at the Lions. If it's Lions, you have to
imagine aj Brown finishes the book by then, right, yeah,
maybe I hope so, but you expect it all along Vikings, Lions, Eagles,
(01:00:22):
and then hey, throw a fourth team in there. And
that fourth team, you know, is Washington, who's young and exciting,
and you know, you know the sentiment all the last
Washington's so exciting. You know how the sentiment over the
last year and a half has been like, man, everyone's like,
if my team's under it, I'll pull for the Lions.
I've lost that sentiment. I'm sorry, Detroit, don't hate me.
(01:00:44):
Maybe you could change my mind by kissing my ass
on social media, but you have a new team you
feel that way about. No, I'm saying, Washington, when I
watch that game this week, the whole the whole sentiment that, man,
the Lions, this is their chance, and everyone's like Lions, Bill,
someone will win eventually. How could you not say? Do
you feel for Jayden Daniels Kid's electric boogie Yogi Yogi? Yeah, okay,
(01:01:09):
I feel you on that. But your team is switching. Yeah,
you're de facto the Commandos. You're cheating on the Lion.
The facto team is Bills versus Vikings. Because I think
those fan bases are even thirsty, as thirsty as the lions.
So I just you know, as I said before, Danny,
we said it last week too. That meme is right.
It's a super Bowl. We all want it's combinations of
(01:01:29):
those teams. Not to feel that way, though, you are.
I bring this back to fighting always. I always rooted
for Canelo, but if he was fighting Triple G, Triple
G's my god. Yeah. But you know we said the
super Bowl that no one wants will be the one
we likely get, and that's Chiefs Eagles, anything but Chiefs Eagles.
Please all right, enjoy your Monday night wild Card Hell yeah,
we'll be talking about it tomorrow and have a great night.
(01:01:51):
Stay safe until then, Rima there maybe in the Promised Land.
Get back my guys,
