Twenty seven minutes from now here on the odd couple

to do this this hour. And again what a.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
Could I call it like a super Sunday yesterday because
I was just so excited just about rob g do
we have the pigskin pick off?

Speaker 5 (03:00):
Numbers.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
We do.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
We don't worry about that. Hold on later. I want
to find out. I'm just curious. I don't I don't think.
I don't think. I gotta be game right.

Speaker 5 (03:09):
You did not get everything?

Speaker 2 (03:10):
No, I didn't, but I know I had three wins
four four one again what to Calvin Kelvin?

Speaker 5 (03:17):
Yeah, less wins than that?

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Yeah, No, I want to know what actually won? Started again?
We told you let your daughters pick the game.

Speaker 6 (03:26):
You haven't had a winning week since Week six. Team,
you're right week sixteen? You left out the team at sixteen?

Speaker 1 (03:33):
Are you good?

Speaker 5 (03:34):
I was?

Speaker 1 (03:35):
Man, my focus ain't here. Man, I don't know what's
going on. Man, rob Gi, are you worried about Kelvin?

Speaker 6 (03:40):
How many of my next just tell me my hear
how I am done. I think it's statistically impossible for
you to catch up. I think you're I gotta get
like every week fifteen?

Speaker 1 (03:47):
Right, fourteen? That's just dreadful. How many more weeks? So left?

Speaker 5 (03:51):
Three?

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Three or three or four?

Speaker 5 (03:53):
So we're in fifteen now?

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Right?

Speaker 7 (03:55):
So sixteen, seventeen, eighteen plus the playoffs? Yeah, I mean,
I guess you have topic.

Speaker 6 (04:01):
I'm like the Chiefs prior to the loss like you
technically out, but you're kind of steal in it.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
No, rob gets none, right, I get them all right.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
Just like they were saying the Chiefs were going to
run the table, you are not running the test mathematically.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
AI hey chat gp zizzle. Am I out yet? No?
You are not. I ain't out yet? All right?

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Three nothing Dolphins that get a field goal five eleven
left in the first half in Pittsburgh and cold as
heck there.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
So I'm gonna call my babies right now.

Speaker 5 (04:28):
They picked Baltimore locked the f end to this game.

Speaker 6 (04:31):
Right now, My babies are picking in by the way,
from hearing my babies are picking because what you know
what they can't do. They can't do worse than that.
They can't do worse than one of you were talking
about my daughters. Okay, let me talk about my daughters. Okay,
they can't do worse than me.

Speaker 7 (04:44):
You know a true story and you know this, Robbi,
you've been around for a while. Ben Maler has done
this segment for like fifteen years now called Benny Versus
the Penny. He brought NFL games against the spread so much.
Show was on TV for a couple of years there
on the NBCC on NBC Sports, just to prove that
all the re search and all the knowledge don't you
can flip a coin and do better than that.

Speaker 5 (05:03):
And I think the penny has won like half the time.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
Is that what it is?

Speaker 6 (05:06):
Yeah, it makes sense. All of this is just do this. Yeah,
a handful of people who yes, the.

Speaker 5 (05:13):
Best guys picked like fifty eight percent.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Right, you're not.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
It's really hard with the spread and and the problem
with you know, just picking the.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
Uh what is it called again? We just picked the winner?

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Is you got to put down a lot of money
to make any money, you know what I mean, Like
if you really feel good about a game and you
got three thousand dollars to go, say yeah, oh no,
just to win four hundred or something exactly. But that's
that's scary, you know what I mean. And that's what
stops people from doing that. You got to put up.

Speaker 7 (05:45):
And Rob is so hot this season because last season
he was up and down. This season is so hot
on the p and pick off. I've gotten text from
Lamar Mitchell saying, yes, tell Rob to start betting more
on these games because he knows that Rob is picking
like sixty two percent right now.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
That's crazy.

Speaker 7 (06:01):
As soon as he starts feeling himself, he puts down
real money one and four.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Don't do it for no.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
I gotta win this. This is my football season of
domination of you.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
We'll still I got one. I'm baking on. There's a couple.
There's a couple of things here. I got a couple.
I'm still in it.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
One.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
I feel really good about this Steelers. Okay, you said
that they wouldn't win eight games? You do you know?
You keep changing it said?

Speaker 6 (06:27):
Was I said they would not win? First of all,
I said they wouldn't make the playoffs. Secondly, then you try.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
To no, no, no, But the bet was about the win
to you said eight, I did not say eight.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
How many did he say nine?

Speaker 2 (06:38):
No?

Speaker 6 (06:38):
He did not said he said nine because I tried
to My point was actually ten.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
But you said you've tried to make it. No, no, no, Okay.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
So we got that bet, we got the lie, and
I think we have we got between.

Speaker 5 (06:49):
There's a couple others.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
I think I'm trying to look at you. What else
you want to make? We get some? You got? You
got what else you got? What else is out there? Roger?
Think about? So we'll think about something else.

Speaker 5 (06:59):
All right.

Speaker 7 (07:00):
Speaking of bets, me and Rob made a bet on Friday.
You won't hear Calvin, but it's a good one. Rest
of season passer rating, Okay, Caleb Williams versus Philip Rivers.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
I got Philip, He's got Kims.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
Right.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
That is funny.

Speaker 6 (07:16):
It's it's that is actually interesting because Caleb numbers might
be you know, he might have Yeah, his numbers will
be yards a game or something bigger.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
But when you're you.

Speaker 5 (07:26):
Know, the pip of that stuff.

Speaker 7 (07:29):
So I was looking really good yesterday until the very
end of the game and a hail mary attempt to
try to salvage a win there for Indianapolis.

Speaker 5 (07:38):
They end up losing on the road to Seattle.

Speaker 7 (07:40):
Philip Rivers throws a hail mary attempt that didn't even
get to midfield, intercepted obviously. In the game, one touchdown,
one pick one, and twenty passing yards. Even still, after
that loss, Colt's head coach Shane Steichen says Philip Rivers
will be the starter next week and according to him,
as long as he's upright, Philip Rivers will be the

(08:03):
Colts QB one rest of the season.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
I'm gonna say this.

Speaker 8 (08:09):
You got to say, I hope the Coats lose every
game and don't make the playoffs for this chicanery, this
mockery of the game.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
I'm sorry. And yesterday was a perfect example of had
you had just a decent quarterback, not an old man,
not a grandpa, playing, you might have won that game.
And that was a big game to win when your
defense plays that well. And I don't want to hear anybody. Oh,
he gave them agenda win, that's what they say. He
gave Magenta win. No, no, no, no, no, Why do

(08:43):
they bring Philip Rivers in for win? Yes, to win,
to win? You hold Seattle to no touchdowns at home
kelvin zero zero and you don't win that game. I'm sorry, no, no,
that's not good enough. And I just think to take

(09:09):
and again, this is the cronyism. If it was anybody
else who was forty four and hadn't played in five years,
you'd think that they would be on a roster, on
the coach roster. Anybody else, No, nobody else.

Speaker 6 (09:27):
We talked about that just with TJ. I mean, the
quarterback is the only position that might even have a chance.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
But I'm just saying This is because of the relationship,
not because Philip Rivers is gonna win something for you.
It's just it's so bad. And I wasn't surprised that
they didn't get much going. I know he threw the
one touchdown, but my goodness, gracious man, they should have
won that game. They needed to win that game. And

(09:52):
now considering where they started, Daniel Jones, who I didn't
buy into, and then all of a sudden, once they
stopped playing the cupcake schedule, they started losing on a
regular right. That was already happening before the injury. And
now they bring in old Man Rivers. I'm not surprised
where they are.

Speaker 6 (10:09):
Old Man Rivers. A couple things for me to happen.
Number one, I just saw it and I was like, hey,
you know, he was an and it reminded me of
he's still like he was with the Chargers right there,
things going on. Can't win it, can't win it, And
obviously he had a heck of a career. The charge
with what I mean is when you kind of needed
them on the team, when the team needed to do it,
they couldn't get it done.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
And to me, that was almost like a car.

Speaker 6 (10:29):
A forty five, forty four year old carbon copy of
the Chargers staying in and found a way to be
right there in a big game in the postseason. Couldn't
get it done. So to me, I was old old man.
River is the same old river still flowing. Reminded me
that also I was looking at the Seahawks, like, what
is going on here that a forty four year old
man comes in here, hadn't played it five years?

Speaker 1 (10:53):
That's not even like usually sometimes you round things up.

Speaker 6 (10:55):
Me, it was only two and a half, three, No,
five years, he hadn't played football, and all of a
sudd he's staying in the game. He goes down, get
a last secon, you know, get the field goal, got
a chance to win the game. Obviously they come down
to the Seahawks and finally win it. Seahawks, I thought y'all
were the number two defense, the number one defense overall,
number two points allowed, rushing yards are six, number one,

(11:18):
all these huge categories for defensively. I thought you would
be able to get after him, get some interceptions, get
some fumbles, get more sacks. Like I thought, that's what
the Seahawks are gonna But we're going to feast on him.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Where was the quarterback though? You can't get in the
end zone. I'm getting it, I know.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
And there's there's my thing I keep telling you about
Sam Donald that bothers me.

Speaker 6 (11:42):
And Sam Donald to me. On the flip side of this,
the Coats have been a solid to a good team
throughout the year. What they're not is they're not the
best team defensively. Any idea that they got a guy
who isn't scoring and y'all couldn't find a way to
score in the Seahawks. And again you couldn't get after
him and torture him and make life hell for him.

(12:02):
It wasn't that bad for Philip Rivers to be honest
with you, like he just he was like he was okay,
and he had a couple of passes there. Now obviously
he was checked down, Charlie, But I thought the Seahawks
would make it a living hell. We've seen them do
that to better teams, better quarterbacks. And I walked away
from that a little disappointing them that again that he d.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
He can't run.

Speaker 6 (12:20):
He could run and he was at his prime, so
you couldn't get him off of movement and make him
scrambling around and get you know, uncomfortable.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
But if you're the Colts, really darn old twenty two
for thirty six, two seventy one, no picks, no touchdown,
no picks. But but Riley Leonard is the guy who's
been on their roster all year, a rookie quarterback for
the Colts, And why haven't they done enough to coach
him up so that he could do You only scored
sixteen points on the road, right, Yeah, you didn't need him, Bline.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
Oh my god, Philip Rivers came, he scored.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
Thirty one stoles. He didn't do anything that was so
sixteen points. You can't get a couple of field goals
and one touchdown from the rookie. Come on, man, you're
overplaying yourself, overplaying your hand. Why haven't you coached up
Leonard to be able to play in this situation? That's
why you're the backup. He's been there all almost all year, right,

(13:12):
Rob g almost all year. It doesn't make sense. It doesn't.
And that's why I'm not gonna I'm gonna rain on
Philip Rivers parade because had he won, Oh, they've been
a story, that's what this, Rob g am I right?
Or wrong, because the same thing happened with jeffs Saturday.
When he won that first game, people went ballistic, they

(13:34):
went they went nuts over Jeff Saturday, and then they
didn't win another game. If Philip Rivers won, there would
be instantly by the spring, a new Netflix movie about
him or Disney.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
I don't know who will play who play him.

Speaker 6 (13:49):
I have to think of somebody who can play him,
but he absolutely would have had a Disney movie if
he won that game.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
And here's the other numbers that that just tells you
where he is.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
You know, when you have that fat under your arm
and you can't raise it but so much, you know
what I'm.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
Saying, those are the best people to barbecue. Yeah, that's
who I wanted my grill Rivers.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
I'm just I'm not saying Rivers had that, but these
numbers suggest that maybe there's some some going on.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
We listen.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
Yeah, he was two for eight for thirty three yards, right,
and an I in t on throws of ten.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
Plus air yards? Oh he couldn't. She was he was
checking out Charlie.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
Okay, he couldn't get the ball down the field, like like, seriously,
that's ten yards, not twenty yards. Not thirty ten yards
ten plus.

Speaker 6 (14:34):
I think that the if you isolated, I would say
he played pretty well considering the circumstances.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
Period. It's an l I say it.

Speaker 6 (14:42):
But if I say, is this an indictment on again
the culture not having a better plan or maybe the
league for not having guys or guys who are If
you're a guy who been you know to say you
got you know, released recently, you've been on and off
some teams, it's an indictment on your skill set.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
That they ain't want to bring you in.

Speaker 6 (14:59):
The guy somebody that you had a forty five year
old I know he knows the system, but that shouldn't happen.

Speaker 1 (15:05):
That shouldn't happen. And dagget Rob, I heard you, you
know what, I'm done? Go to commercial.

Speaker 5 (15:13):
He ain't gonna make it six years.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
Five one day that Mic is not gonna be objeking?
Is Rob g five?

Speaker 6 (15:19):

It's a lot of years, all right.

on Fox. Just essentially, would you think of Philip Rivers?
Philip Rivers okay performance for me. Disappointed in the Seahawks
that they thought they would be coming after him. Better

(17:31):
than that. They have other quarterbacks throughout the season. You said,
six field goals, you gotta win that game. If you're
the Colts on.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
The road, you hold a whole team without a touchdown.

Speaker 6 (17:41):
Yes, Sam Worthington is who I will play Philip Rivers
in a Disney movie if he had he won that game.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
That's the dude in that avatar. That's a good one.
I can't take that.

Speaker 6 (17:51):
Jason Smith told me that he heard us, all right,
who we got eight seven, seven ninet nine on foxsh
we got.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
Oh dre and Massachusetts. You're on the odd couple of
Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
What's up dray.

Speaker 11 (18:05):
Hey doing?

Speaker 12 (18:05):
Thanks taking a call Happy Monday. No, I'm not surprised
with the result and how it played out because Philip
Rivers is an NFL player from the shoulders up. That's
what he is. He's somebody who cerebrally can come in
and exactly and instinctively execute what they want to do.
That's why they brought him off the couch to come in, right,
you bring somebody off another player who's gonna be an

(18:27):
actual professional athlete, there's gonna be a learning gain, there's
gonna be a delay in terms of them picking things up,
and they just want somebody to do exactly, specifically, minutely
what they want to do and then let the team
around him obviously going to effect try to keep things going.
Are they a Super Bowl contender? Anymore.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
No, they're not a not only no, but but Drey,
did you see him seriously like, like, you gotta win
that game. You hold a team of no touchdowns right
on the road, your defense plays, they hold them, and
you can't win that game. That's a big loss for
the Colts. I don't care what anybody.

Speaker 12 (19:03):
Says, point taking rob but again, that speaks to the situation.

Speaker 3 (19:07):
He can't only he's an NFL player.

Speaker 12 (19:09):
From the shoulders up. He's not able to will himself
to do anything athletically that's going to put them in
a position to be successful.

Speaker 11 (19:16):
He can just do exactly right.

Speaker 6 (19:18):
But that's crazy though, then dre If, thanks for the call,
dre If that if Dre what dre is saying is right,
which I think we get an understanding degree. That's crazy
that that's your quarterback, right, That he can't that he
can't do anything, that he can't do this he can
do that he's only a quarterback from the neck the
shoulders up, and that's your starting quarterback in the NFL
is crazy.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
That's crazy. Cody, where's Joe Jamis Winston? You know what
I mean?

Speaker 2 (19:40):
That time got to have somebody. Where's your Joe Flacco,
Cody and Fresno. You're on the odd couple of Fox
Sports Radio. What's up, Cody, what's up?

Speaker 11 (19:48):
Good evening, fellas.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
I just want to say, this is an indictment on
the NFL and their inability to develop quarterbacks in the
year of Our Lord twenty twenty five. You're telling me
Aaron Rodgers, Philip and Joe Flacco we're starting quarterbacks this year.
You go down the list, even Matthew Staffords almost he started.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
Seventh, right, Yeah, I agree with you.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
All of the guys who play college football, they can't
develop a They can't get anybody to throw a ball
fifteen yards.

Speaker 3 (20:18):
I'm asking serious questions. What is going on. I know
we have to win now, and I get that, but
there's no long term thinking anymore. Russell Wilson started this year.
I mean, what are we doing here in the lower
ranks and in coaching in the NFL to not get
us actual quarterbacks? Every year fifteen quarterbacks get drafted out
of the draft, and after these what thirty years, we're

(20:39):
still stuck with a third of the league being from
born before you know, the cellphones were invented.

Speaker 6 (20:45):
I still I just think you I just think we
are understating how difficult that position is, and it is
in the day, you would think there are better options.
I do think some teams just prefer to Dre's call.
How I like it, I mean I could have got
somebody else. I like it this way. And Phillip's going
run with I run. He was running it, which, by
the way, him running it in high school. The fact
that theay that like that's supposed to be apples apples

(21:07):
is crazy. That is be the greatest high school team ever. Yeah,
that's just crazy that the NFL schemes at age sixteen.

Speaker 5 (21:13):
Exactly.

Speaker 6 (21:13):
Man, he's he's running the same offense he's coaching, and
he ain't playing it. He's coaching it, he ain't out
there playing it. By the way, I do think this
next week's gonna be a rough week. I think the
forty nine is gonna get after him.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
All I know is I just want him to lose
every game. Well, I think you'll get your wish this.

Speaker 7 (21:28):
And by the way, there is a personality who's very
big in the NFL space who saw.

Speaker 5 (21:32):
One of our videos.

Speaker 7 (21:33):
I'm willing to believe on the Graham specifically about the
Philip Rivers topic, and they say I saw this clip
and somebody said that this is an indictment on the
development of quarterbacks, almost verbati what Kelvin has said. And
then you look this week, Philip Rivers starts after three days.
Brett Rippon, who's been on the team, healthy and active.
Riley Leonard, who was their rookie quarterback, been there all season,

(21:56):
was the backup to Daniel Jones all season right until
it suddenly, is practicing all week. He's healthy, he's getting full,
full work, and he's not gonna have to play. So
if that's not an indictment on another development.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
So what did he say about k rip Kelvin?

Speaker 5 (22:10):
No, they didn't use his name.

Speaker 1 (22:11):
I you know it was it? How you know it
was it?

Speaker 5 (22:12):
He That's another good question. We know we can't tell
D d R.

Speaker 6 (22:19):
I think we all know we're not talking Dominican Republic. Okay, well,
I want you to know that one of my.

Speaker 5 (22:25):
They didn't say Calvin's name.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
We're not going to say that one of my right
one of my rants about the ok C being bad
for the n b A.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
They played on n b A radio this morning.

Speaker 6 (22:36):

Speaker 2 (22:40):

they played.

Speaker 5 (22:46):
The ridiculous of course. Yeah, it's all good.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
Just get our name right in the name of the show.
Trust me they do, because I get all the articles.
I'm gonna say this.

Speaker 2 (22:57):
I do like the coat that Ryan cl Look, I
don't know about the monogram and the other.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
Wait, don't backhand compliment either like it or you know.
I said, I like that.

Speaker 7 (23:07):
It's like a hounds tooth and it looked like I
do like the jacket you're wearing, except this two different
college jacket.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
What I like it, but I don't like it? What
you don't like this with both of my alma motels
on it? Don't You're just jealous because I went to college.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
And you've had a third college on the inside. No,
there's nothing else. There's nothing college. How many colleges have
you gone to? I'm proud I've been to five. I
don't have n y you. I don't have your college.
I don't have Queen's College.

Those are all the college on your horn in these
school school streets, hey, cony streets.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
Okay, settle down with one.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
If I'm looking and I'm watching, and they looking and
they see me with this on. If you're in southern Connecticut,
you're like, man, he reps the school. And if you're Columbia,
you say, he reps his school. How do you feel
bad about it?

Speaker 6 (23:58):

Speaker 1 (24:50):
And I almost want to start singing, how do all
on gobye?

Speaker 2 (24:57):
All the ribs down there are wet from everybody crying
down there.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
I've been giving away for free to for some solad.

Speaker 6 (25:03):
I can't lie there. And I sipped the kool aid.
I was believing, I was what did I have? Alex
was playing for me? Jesse Jackson, keep hope alive? I
had him playing it, I was, I thought I was
with it.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
And you know I didn't have them there and making
the playoffs from the start of the season.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
Sow shock, imber, yep, how shocked are you? Well?

Speaker 11 (25:24):
The way that well, first of all, thank you all
for having me on. And when the super Bowl is
in Atlanta, I know where where Rob and I are
going to be at that Monday night. But but that,
but that being said, the way the season was playing
the self out, you know, it was just a matter
of time before you know, you know, before o'clock strike
midnight and Cinderella, you know, was going to turn ugly.

(25:47):
I mean, you know, the players, especially last couple of
weeks talking about it was a mustling game, must wing game,
and they said, and they kept blue me. So it
was like soon or later it was gonna catch up
with him.

Speaker 9 (25:56):
Man.

Speaker 11 (25:57):
I know, my guy Steve was talking about, you know,
even if they lost, if one of the things would
have you know, if the other things would have loved,
they would have had a chance. And I just didn't
see it. So it was just a matter of time before,
you know, I'm saying, before the you know, before the
rent was due.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
See, I think you were right in that they kept
saying all these games, Oh, they got to win this game,
like you how many of those games can you keep
saying that?

Speaker 1 (26:20):
Right?

Speaker 2 (26:21):
And they couldn't win him like that? Like they just
kept happening. So I was there. Okay, So Patrick Mahomes,
do you think they're going to rush him back or
does he miss twenty twenty six?

Speaker 11 (26:32):
Well, look, the chiefs will be careful. It's Patrick is
the person that get the word about because he's he's
getting the second opinion, and depending on you know, what
that opinion is and what the surgery is, Patrick is
going to try to rush himself back to start to
you know, to come back at the start of the seeon.
That's just how he's wired, you.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
Know, I wouldn't let that happen. That is too soon.

Speaker 11 (26:53):
No, no, no, no.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
I'm with you.

Speaker 11 (26:54):
But but I'm saying that, I'm saying I know the man.
I'm just saying, I know that's how he's wired. No,
I can see it'scenario where he wouldn't come back to
till October or late October or early November if that,
if that was the case. But when I shut him down,
you know, I don't know. It just depends on how
it comes back. I know, I know they say it

(27:15):
was a complete care, but depend on what the second
what the second what the second opinion is it is
how they're going to operate. But as much as as
much as I hate to happen this way, it does
force the chief to go to a thirty thousand view
and really, you know, kind of ripped his team to
the stud and and build it back up because you're

(27:37):
like fifty seven million dollars over the cap coming in
the next year, and so they really need the good
things to get their house in order.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
Right now, Hey, what do they do? And maybe it's
not a day.

Speaker 6 (27:48):
Maybe it's just to him Andy Reid, you know, he's
upper sixty sixty seven sixty eight years old. He's obviously
had a Hall of Fame career sixty seven, So what
do you think is I know it's earlier that's still
got games left, but just where do you think he's
f is he still is like? Is this something that
would take him off and say now I'm coming back
better than ever? Or is this something he says I
had a great run. No, I mean Belichick is still

(28:11):
coaching in.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
College that not and not coaching well, and Pete Carroll
still coaching, not coaching he was going to coach well,
I'm saying, is he gonna keep going on the Pete
Carroll embarrassment?

Speaker 5 (28:21):
Robb Gie, I'm sorry, go ahead.

Speaker 12 (28:23):
Down, You're fine.

Speaker 11 (28:24):
Look, look, I have my own my own thought on
how this might play out, and for me, depending on
what the scenario is, Sir Patrick, if he's out for
the entire year, I don't know personally, if if Andy
wants to do the whole you know, go back to
the Alex Smith style of coaching that he had to do,
you know, Patrick's rookie year and during that time before that,
and and go through another rebuild, so to speak. And

(28:47):
so I'm not I'm not sure if he's if he
wants to do that once again, because again, if he
if you rip the team up and you started back
at his SuDS, does injury even want to deal with that?
But of course if he, if he, if he grieves,
who do you bring in and play something? Because whoever
the head coach, Patrick Patrick is gonna have to prove it.
And so I just I really don't know. And that's that's, uh,

(29:09):
plus the good and the bad of it, because it's
going to be an excited out seasons in the Chiefs.
But I just don't know which way you know, Andy
would lee or where his heart lives right now?

Speaker 2 (29:18):
And let me let me ask you this, Kelvin fell Ford,
A lot of people did with the receivers. Oh yeah,
when when Patrick gets these guys back?

Speaker 1 (29:26):
Rice? Is Rice?

Speaker 2 (29:28):
Was he disappointing? What where does he fit in? Is
he really a number one? How good are his hands?
Were the receiving corps that everybody when they they had
the three games against three bad teams, they put up numbers.
Everybody thought, Oh, here they go. Maybe I'm back, Yeah,
I thought, And then it did not petered out. Where
are those receivers that Patrick? Do they have enough or not?

Speaker 11 (29:50):
You know what you know, I think this was a
question for Mark Donald's because that's just that's the thing
of the wide receivers. How about that, you know, when
you right out too close to the situation. I all
say that when you when you look at it in hindsight,
I think that they were a lot more overrated than uh.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
That's all I'm saying. There you go down. So is
this Daron Smith from Kansas City on the line stopping?

Speaker 11 (30:15):
But here's the thing, you know, because when you think
about it, I've always said about it great, especially after
you got hurt, uh in the first game, you know,
obviously lost bark to Kelsey. Is that to me? He
was He's always been too light. You know, he's you know,
he's not exactly tall, but you know, wearh one hundred
and sixty five pounds, you're not going to beat. I mean,
you know. And and when you run a four two

(30:38):
and it's straight ahead, you don't have that. You don't
have that Tyreek kill quickness and stuff. And and so
the teams, you know, the team, it's interesting think about it.
And Robert, I know you know this when when the
Chiefs lost the Super Bowl to Tampa Bay. In Tampa
Bay on the worldwide level, people saw that they needed
an offensive life. In the off season, they revemped and

(30:58):
got a whole new starting line of starting offensive fire.
When they got beat the way they did against against
the Eagles one, they did not even try to establish
the run game. And you Reed, Andy Reed came to
us at the combine and said that that was that
was regrant to something that they were going to make
sure that they that they changed up this time around.
But so but this sole entire offseason, the only thing

(31:20):
they kept talking about was having an explosive offense with
all these wide receivers and stuff, with all the speed
that they had. Well injuries and all these drop passes,
and essentially, I'm gonna tell you, essentially when things went
wrong in Kansas City was Harnson Bucker missing all these
extra miscinari seal goes. Because he was missing them early
in the ball game, we set the team behind, and

(31:42):
then and then they all sudden they were playing catch up,
and then they were all and they were always forcing
themselves to try to make big plays and try to
rely on Patrick being superman. Also a lot of times
in these days with the accession of the Raiders and
and the and the Commanders, and of course we're looking
at those two teams how they are now, and he
does not run the football. And because he does not

(32:03):
run the football, they lose the time of possession, and
they lose still position, and they just put themselves. They
always tight and coming from mind. So even if even
if anyry six round and Matt made leaves or something
like that, because Andy is still calling the plays, he
had to change how you call it the play. And
I just don't think you can after all these years.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
I got you last thing. Kevin has one more runn
he got one b. Travis Kelcey in or out next year?

Speaker 11 (32:28):
What you think I think he's going. It depends on
what happens with Ty. I can't see him coming back
in a rebuild. Plus plus he's not on the contract.

Speaker 1 (32:37):
He so yeah, to resign, all right, we'll see.

Speaker 6 (32:40):
Hey, man, we appreciate it that so much that we're
a pro, you know, all things considered, Darius.

Speaker 11 (32:46):

Last call? All right, how about Orlando and l Paso.

Speaker 2 (34:09):
You're on the couple of Fox Sports Radio and you
are the last call.

Speaker 5 (34:14):
What's up?

Speaker 1 (34:14):
Orlando.

Speaker 13 (34:16):
Anyway's up, guys. I got two questions. First questions for
Rock from Connecticut, Southern Connecticut, Sally's or pet bast who's yours?

Speaker 1 (34:24):
Said that? Again?

Speaker 13 (34:26):
Is it modern Sally's or pet based? Which pizza?

Speaker 11 (34:29):
Do you prefer.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
Modern sala not plant based?

Speaker 5 (34:34):
I know that.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
No, he's saying it must have been no spots out there.

Speaker 6 (34:37):
I think he's trying to get at like we did,
like those were the pizzas spots out there?

Speaker 2 (34:40):
Plant based zza? Yeah, oh no, but it's New Haven.
Is Peppe's pizza? Peppe Pizza, Peppi's whatever? Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no, no,
Peppi's pizza definitely.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
What about you?

Speaker 3 (34:54):
I'm I'm a.

Speaker 2 (34:55):
Sally's guy, but hey have great pizza.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
I've heard, yeah, has great pizza definitely.

Speaker 5 (35:03):
All right?

Speaker 1 (35:04):
What was the second question?

Speaker 13 (35:06):
The last question is, listen, Sanders is my guy? I
think he's just straight up I'm not even going to
say it on there, but what do you make of
this conspiracy theory about Kevin Stefanski setting up to fail
because of the whole Tim McCarver thing, as you know,
that sens and mess thing.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
I was there, I was there.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
I covered that World Series with the Tim McCarver and
the Dion. I was covered baseball then, and no, I
don't believe that. It's just that none of that. If
it just doesn't make any sense, you don't need to
do that. They didn't even have to draft him, they
didn't have to play them, you know what I mean,
as soon as Dylan.

Speaker 1 (35:42):
Was was healthy, just take them out. I mean, come on, man,
you don't go through all that to try to set
somebody up. And you know what else too, I'll say
this silly.

Speaker 6 (35:50):
I cannot like somebody, not necessarily the kid because you
don't know the kid, but like his dad and still
conduct business, you know what I mean, Like he doesn't
have to like Dion and what he did. Obviously he
may feel different because I was his grandfather, but still
can conduct business and move forward like I'm trying to
do something and they names do the starter. But yeah, man,

(36:11):
but Dean got him good though. What would you have done? No,
that's not that's on professional. What if Matthew Stafford had
did that to you? You were like Matthew, you finally
got a good playoff win, and you know, I just
and he was like Rob Parker, right, Yeah, yeah, he
just if you touched me with the bucket or whatever,
the no bucket, just all water, well unprofessional.

Speaker 5 (36:30):
I probably me and him would probably have an issue
right there.

Speaker 1 (36:33):
Would you tussle?

Speaker 2 (36:34):
I don't know if I would, actually, I think I
would have to have him fall again to see it.

Speaker 1 (36:40):
I'm like a bad swim you know what I mean?
Or Rob set us back. That water went into.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
My uh uh it burst something a vain in my eye.

Speaker 1 (36:52):
I can't see my eye something like that.

Speaker 6 (36:56):
Yeah, don't do the swimming. They already thinking we can't swim.
We don't need that'll don't do that one right there.
All right, what's the score around fourteen to three? Aaron
Rogers to a touchdown? Aaron Rodgers to uh so this
would be winning now that scaling when he's still playing.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
All right, he's still it's gonna be a bad football
you all the way around.

Speaker 1 (37:14):
Well, I still feel good.

Speaker 2 (37:15):
I'm just telling you, like all the way around, and
then next year you'll spow down to.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
Me and you'll be like, you know what, I'm bounced back, Rob.
I appreciate your football knowledge. Yeah, and you know we
got the NBA coming out.

Speaker 5 (37:26):
That's all right.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
I've been covering this leak since nineteen eighty seven and.

Speaker 5 (37:30):
It shows, Yeah, you picked the Bucks to win a championship.

Speaker 1 (37:32):
Be quiet.

Speaker 6 (37:34):
