Speaker 1 (00:05):
This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
What is up Straight Fire, fam, It's me Jason McIntyre,
Straight Fire for Thursday, November fourteenth, And I know I
was fired up yesterday about hoops and what another great
night of basketball folks. Now hopefully tonight we get a
great night of football. We'll do best bet at the
end of the podcast. Eagles Washington, Your boy needs to
(00:32):
bounce back after last last week's it was gross. College
football has been great. We'll do college football picks tomorrow.
But oh my gosh, how good was the NBA last night?
Now we'll get to the NFL storylines. Anthony Richardson is back.
I guess Shane Steichen has been listening to this podcast, right.
We'll get to some Deon Sanders comments that are gonna
be a huge deal today as my guest, and we're
(00:55):
gonna start with the NBA where I mean listen. We
could go Cavs now thirteen to know, although they beat
the corpse that is the Sixers who are without Maxie
em Beat and Paul George. We could go with the Knicks,
who were down twenty two points at home, storm back
seventeen nothing run they end up taking a lead with
four seconds left and then losing when Kobe White gets
(01:16):
fouled on a three. And then of course there's Janis,
who dropped fifty nine points for the Bucks, fifty nine
for Yannis, sixteen of seventeen on free throws. It's crazy
because as I'm watching this game, it went to overtime
in the Bucks one. Do you guys remember where Yannis
was so uncomfortable at the foul line that opposing fans
(01:36):
would count to ten because he took so long and
he got a couple ten second violations at the foul line.
He now hit sixteen of seventeen free throws and he's
banging the mid range. Gianis is playing out of his mind.
Show in the Bucks, hey, step up your fricking game.
His starting backcourt because Lillard was out and they started
putting Gary Trent on the bench. The starting backcourt of
Delon Right and the aj Green comebined to go one
(01:57):
of nine for three points. You're starting back court three points.
Janis had fifty nine. Now in the first quarter, Jannis
had twenty two. The rest of the starters had two.
Like it is looking bleak for the Bucks. Now again,
Dame didn't play so we're not going to go overword,
but I thought the most interesting NBA happening on Wednesday
(02:18):
night was my guy Victor Wembin Yama wemby his first
fifty piece in the league. Shout out to my guy
Victor Wembin Yama eight threes. I had to look this
up because I'm such a nerd. I'm like, Wembin Yama
hit eight threes. So you guys know my story. But
I was born in New York and I really attached
to the Knicks. Sorry. I did like the at the
(02:39):
time Washington Bullets when I was living in Northern Virginia,
but they were terrible. I mean they were awful. I'll
never forget Tony Kornheiser.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Remember I would read the Washington Post every single day.
My parent, my dad would get it the newspaper at
the bottom of the driveway, bring it in before he
went to work, and I would pull out the sports
section and I would read, just Tony Kornheiser just kill
the Bullets every single week they had. He had nicknames
for all the guys. There was a guy named John Williams,
and Corneiser nicknamed him hot Plate because he just kept
(03:10):
getting fatter and fatter, John hot Plate Williams. There was
Steve Colter. I don't think he called him Steve afro Culter,
but he had an afro and that was kind of
his nick name. That one good player they had was
like Jeff Malone. They had Laddell Echols. I don't know
if you guys remember him. It was just it was
a bad time to be a Washing Bullets fan. It
got good when they got Weber and Juwan Howard, but
(03:30):
they weren't able to like make any runs or anything.
But I guess where I was going was I was
a Knicks fan early as a young guy when I
was following the NBA, and I love Patrick Ewing. He
was my favorite player. I waited in line with my
family too. Well, I don't like it was in my family.
I think it was just with my dad to get
an autograph of Patrick Ewing at Macy's and I was
(03:53):
like all excited to meet him. And you know, you
get to the front of line and Patrick Ewing basically
just signs it and hands it to you, and that
was it. It was just no, no, hey, how are you
a kid? None of that. It was just in and
out and I was a little disappointed after it. It's
like I waited in line for that and he wasn't
even that friendly. Anyways, I still like Patrick Ewing. I
have a Nick's jersey. I will wear it. You'll see
(04:14):
me on the beach tour in the Patrick Ewing jersey. Anyways,
I counted, guys, are you ready for this? Webbin Yama
fifty points last night and hit eight three pointers. Okay,
the seven foot four, seven to five guy hit eight threes.
Patrick Ewing in his first nine seasons in the NBA
(04:36):
six hundred and eighty games, hit a total of seven
three pointers. Wembin Yama hit more than that in one game. Now,
I know what you're gonna say, Jason, that was twenty
thirty years ago. Come on, man, get out of your bubble.
This is this is a new NBA. Yeah, no shit, Sherlock,
I'm aware of that. But we're talking nine seasons for
(04:56):
Patrick Ewing, nine seasons, six hundred and eighty games. That's
how much the game has changed. Where one Binyama is
making eight threes in a game in route to fifty points.
It's just and I know people are like, oh, I
hate the NBA. Back to the basket and now it's
this nonsense and threes. I love it. Now I am
a three point shooter, but I still think it's fun.
(05:18):
I mean again seeing wem Begnya, Like, how do you
defend wemban Yama. He'll get you in the post, he'll
hit threes, and he's a rim runner, like he literally
can do everything. And I think the sky's a ceiling
for this guy.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
I love the NBA, guys, I just do. Anyways, let's
get to the NFL.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
You guys know this. You get some right, you get
some wrong. I fully admit I've been way way wrong
on the Denver Broncos. I did not think that they
would be this good. I had them as pegged as
one of the worst teams in the league. Now that's
could still happened, but through ten games they look competent.
I was way, way, way, way wrong on the Pittsburgh
Steelers and the Russell Wilson experience. Now listen, it's only
(06:09):
been three games for us. They could also creter. The
schedule gets very very difficult here in short order, and
they might end up there's a chance they missed the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Whatever.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
But so far they have exceeded all expectations. One thing
I was right about that you guys listeners to this pod,
no is this Anthony Richardson benching was a total disaster.
So what happens Tuesday morning? Shane Steiken comes out says
Anthony Richardson's back is the starter against the Jets, and oh,
by the way, he's going to be starting the rest
(06:38):
of the season. Hmmm, here's the oddity. Listen to what
Stiken said over the last two weeks, He's made strides
in both his off the field preparation and attention to detail,
big time strides in becoming a pros pro. Are we
missing something here? Are there are there details that have
(06:59):
not trickled out that will was Richardson? I don't know.
When I hear off the field preparation and attention to detail,
I don't know. Are we looking at a homework situation
like Kyler Murray? Did they find out Anthony Richardson was
not watching game tape on his computer? Was he late
to meetings. Was he not locked in?
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Was he a goof off?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I don't know, but it sounds like we're missing something.
A lot of people thought he was just bench for
poor play, which is reasonable. You know, you get center
to the bench. He's missing easy layups. He was what
two for fifteen and one half. Some people think he
was mostly benched because when they asked him why he
left the game for a play, he said he was tired.
It was like the second quarter. I mean, the guy's
running for his life back there and that. I don't
(07:37):
think I've ever heard of a quarterbacks say I had
to come out because I was tired. I needed a
breather for a play. Like is the nutrition in bad shape?
Is he hitting taco bell after practice? What's going on?
I don't know. There's a lot of mystery with this
Anthony Richardson thing, But the bottom line is Stichen said
he's going to start this week against the Jets, and
he will start the rest of the season. Now hopefully
(07:59):
this will not stuck his growth too much. I use
an analogy. I think it was yesterday on the pod,
or maybe it was out and on the herd about
sports and listen in my Men's League, and yes, tonight
we have a huge semi final game against Mosk Golf.
I'm nervous, not gonna lie, you know, I'm keeping it
all honest with you, guys. I'm very nervous. I'll be
(08:19):
livid if we don't win the title this year. Anyways,
I know when I'm on the court, it's like I'm
not one of you. Got a couple stars on our team.
We had to recruit some big time guys. If I'm
in there and I miss, I don't know my first
four shots, Guys, I'm pulling myself out of the game.
I am. Now that's the beauty. I'm not one of
the stars. I can do that. And I use the
story about my kids playing volleyball, and if someone's struggling,
(08:41):
the coach can either yank the kid quickly and they
don't get to play through their mistakes, or you leave
them in there and they sink or swim and who
cares about the result. This is a long process. And
I kind of felt that way about Anthony Richardson. Was
he struggling? Hell yeah, But this idea that, hey, we're
a couple Anthony Richardson interceptions away from being a playoff team.
That is total nonsense. Come on, Like, yeah, did I
(09:02):
think the Cultu are gonna be good? Yes? Did I
think they had a shot at a wild card? Sure,
but you look at the roster and the Texans we
know are winning that division and the AFC's loaded. Now.
A couple teams have been disappointing aka the Jets and Dolphins,
but Miami's rebounding Chargers have given the look of a
playoff team, but their schedule gets tougher. But like, what
are we doing here? Are we playing for the season
(09:27):
or are we going long term? Do we have our
franchise quarterback? And the only way to find that out
is to play the damn guy. So Richardson will go
back to getting to start this year. I think that's
great news for Jonathan Taylor. That's bad news for the Jets,
but it's good news for Jets fans. Yes, Jets fans
who would not think it's the worst thing in the world.
If they lost all of the rest of their games
(09:48):
and then had a top five pick. I think that
would be fantastic. If you're not going to the playoffs,
I'm fine with you losing a lot. You already fired
the coach. Okay, you're not going to the playoffs. The
next thing, the next s Dominoda fall would be the
Aaron Rodgers situation, which I'll get to in a second.
But regarding Richardson, like is he gonna struggle? Of course,
have we seen other highly touted quarterbacks year A god
(10:10):
struggled big time. Lamar Jackson didn't play for the first
what was it like the first eight seven eight weeks
and then came in it was like exclusively running and
it was like, oh, he's limited, but he was winning
games because he could only run. And they did a
good job catering to Lamar Jackson in Baltimore. By the way,
I think in year two he won the MVP award.
(10:30):
Go look up Josh Allen's rookie year. Brian Dable fixed him,
like you just have to have confidence and faith. Now,
what we don't know is was Anthony Richardson the pick
of the owner or the coach in GM And you
know these are answers we may never ever get unfortunately,
because you know, we saw what Stichen did with Jalen Hurts.
MVP candidate would have won the award if he didn't
(10:52):
miss a couple of games late, was dynamic in the
Super Bowl against the Mahomes, nearly won that game by himself.
Hurts was amazing, and you're like, oh, they got a
supercharged version of Jalen Hurts. Like that's what Anthony Richardson
could be.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Now.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Hurts was a multi year starter in college, first at
Alabama and then he transferred to I believe it was
Oklahoma when the whole Ta thing happened. And it's like it.
Hurts is a consummate pro. Like, this guy carries a briefcase.
You always see him in a suit at press conferences.
He's got his act together. Anthony Richardson a little younger,
little inexperienced. You know, I could see it. I think
(11:28):
I told you guys the story. But a lot of
people were courting him to be his agent when he
was at Florida, and I happened to know someone close
to that process, and you know, basically everybody walked away
with man, there's no way this guy's ready. He is immature,
he doesn't have the starts. But if he plays one
more year in college, hell yeah, and then of course
the family gets involved. Oh my gosh, millions of dollars.
(11:50):
He could be a first round pick, let's do it.
And so he wasn't ready. We knew that, okay, and
it's gonna take some time. But like, if you look
at the Colts quarterback situation, folks, I'm gonna rattle off
a couple teams right now. You tell me who would
you rather have given your quarterback situation, Tua at a
massive price given his concussion issues or Anthony Richardson where
(12:13):
you just don't know. I would go Anthony Richardson because
guess what if Tua can't get them to the playoffs
and he's got that huge salary, It's like, ooh, that's
not good. And I know he had the concussion, but
they're gonna have to start looking around to cut bait,
and they don't have a ton of talent, right Anthony
Richardson if he flops this year and next, Okay, we
move on. Would just take another bite at the apple?
(12:34):
Look at the Cleveland Browns. What's your quarterback situation? Deshaun
Watson Achilles, Deshaun Watson train wreck, Jameis Winston. Eh I
do kind of like Winston this week, though, file that away,
Like I would rather have Anthony Richardson just because simply,
we don't know if he's gonna be a franchise quarterback
or not. Like some of these guys like Will Levis,
(12:54):
we know he ain't the dude. Okay, Will Levis is
not gonna be the guy. So Tennessee's got to look
for a quarterback. I read something where some speculated Sam
Darnold could be the stopgap quarterback if they don't have
a high enough pick Ticket Schaedur or cam word like,
come on, but you look around the league and that situation.
I'm not gonna lie Dak Prescott and Dallas given what
had just happened with the injury, given the rest of
(13:15):
the roster, or Anthony Richardson in Indie, that's a no
brainer for me. I'm going Anthony Richardson now. It's easy
for us to play armchair GM here. Meanwhile, if you're
in it, oh, I need Dak out there to save
my job, right, I mean McDaniel there was some scuttlet
about him being on the hot seat. So this is
a difficult process. There's no right answers. That's the beauty
(13:38):
of having a podcast and you guys having a voice
and social media and TV radio, like everybody can chime in,
and there is no definitive right answer right there just isn't.
Like when Baker Mayfield washed out in Cleveland and then
he bounces around to the Rams and was he in
Carolina somewhere and it's like, oh man, it's over for
that guy. Well, you know what, bound it in Tampa
(14:00):
and Baker may feels pretty damn good right now. I
don't think he's a top ten quarterback, but the ceiling
of being a top fifteen quarterback.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
He could be in the league.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
For a while and keep Tampa relevant in that sad
sack division. Like I mean, he definitely looks better than
Derek Carr. No, I mean, I like what I've seen
from Baker. Derek Carr can't seem to figure it out.
All right, let's quickly pivot because I mentioned the Jets briefly,
so I don't want to take credit for this, but
I have been pushing. I hope Aaron Rodgers doesn't come back.
(14:29):
I hope he doesn't come back. Now that they lost
to Arizona. The media is on the story when we
were early, because that's I like to kind of try
to be early on stuff. And the media asked Aaron
Rodgers if he wants to play next year. Okay, men,
you mind you It's mid November and they're three and seven.
Aaron Rodgers, I think so.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
He turns forty one in nineteen days. Okay, Rogers in
the off season, if you remember, said he hopes to
play two or three or f four more years. That
was in the offseason when he was rehabbing the achilles. Okay,
now he's saying, I think so yeah. Well, let's see
how this season ends out. Okay, let's see. I know
(15:14):
it's like the contract stuff is where it gets interesting.
To bring him back, the Jets would have to exercise
a thirty five million dollar option bonus. He has a
two point five million dollar base salary. The cap charge
is manageable twenty three and a half million. If does
it get so ugly that Rogers says, I'm done. I
can't do this. I've lost the you know, maybe I
(15:34):
need to go on a darkness retreat and find myself.
It's just football's not for me anymore. Is that in play?
Of course it is. You don't think Rogers could wake
up between now and I don't know, May March, whatever
it is, and be like I think I'm cooked, and
it would not shock me because that's kind of how
this guy operates the Jets. Now, it would be really
would really screw the Jets if it was past the
(15:55):
draft they didn't take a quarterback and then Rogers says, eh,
you know what, I'm out. But that would be on
break for him because he's kind of an ordinary I
don't want to say too many mean words and be
a jerk here, but there's a scenario where the Jets
are drafting top five and they need to find out
from Rogers and he ain't going. I don't think he's
gonna want to leave money on the table, but honestly,
it would probably be better. And I don't know if
(16:16):
life is gonna get so unpleasant for him with the
Jets and the New York media and are the teammates
gonna turn on him? I don't know. So the Jets
are similar on that Dallas track right now. But I
will say this, folks, and I probably should have led
with this, but we're we're starting to see like this
(16:36):
quarterback class coming out twenty twenty five in the draft
is not gonna be great. Okay, I like cam Ward.
We'll see what everyone else thinks. I think Jalen Milroe
has some potential with Alabama. I think he could be
a decent pro. I don't know if he's top ten.
If you go back and listen to Feldman last week,
it sounds like scouts like him. Sad Or Sanders is
(16:58):
the one guy who's unequivocally been the best out there.
But here's where it gets interesting. So Dion Sanders went
on one of the Fox shows yesterday speak and said
would he step in and stop Schador from being drafted
by the wrong team? And he said, yeah, but I'm
not going to do it publicly. I'll do it privately. Well,
(17:19):
ladies and gentlemen, I need to ask you. Can you
please define for me the wrong team? I don't know.
That's very open ended, extremely open ended. The wrong team.
I'll just I'll just go through a couple with you here, guys, Okay,
this is fun. There should be a fun experience. Is
Jacksonville the wrong team? I'll just remove them because they
(17:40):
pay Trevor Lawrence. Are the New York Giants the wrong team?
I mean, how many coaches have been in the last
three or four years now. Brian Dable is a great coach.
You have Molak neighbors. Maybe a good city for marketing
could work. Tennessee is that the wrong team? Who's the
last good quarterback they had Steve McNair I Cleveland, terrible franchise,
(18:00):
nobody's ever had success there. That could be a bad
setting for Shaduur, who feels like a Hollywood type guy,
not like a Cleveland, Ohio guy. Vegas Raiders, I said,
dangerous city, also a really rotten franchise right now, from
owner to coach, they're going nowhere fast. They traded Davonte
like Vegas is a multi year rebuild. I don't think
(18:21):
New England, you know, Drake May's look good. I don't
know if New Orleans would Jets Carolina. I mean, there's
a lot of potentially wrong to use Deon's word, a
lot of wrong teams in there. I listen, I'm on
record saying this, and it's early. Let's see how the
process goes for Cam Woarre, Jalen Milroe, all these guys.
If you draft shaduor Sanders, just be ready from day
(18:45):
one for the Deon Sanders is going to be the
next coach. Just be ready. And you know that there's
some coaches around the league. Callahan and Tennessee, do you
really if you draft him, you're gonna be looking over
your shoulder and that is undeniable. You could say, no,
I don't care what he said about staying in college.
If he's got a chance to coach his son in
(19:06):
the NFL, you can bet your bottom dollar that Dion's
jumping at that. So whatever coach drafts Shador, just be
ready that that will be a looming situation. All right,
let's get your best bet here for Thursday night football.

couch watching the game. He's making money while you do it.
(19:43):
Here's your best bet.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
All right, Thursday and at Football is another great matchup.
I don't think we could match Bengals Ravens from last week,
which was a thriller Ravens escape. But we get two
really good teams in the NFC. I think the Eagles
are second or third in the NFC, and I think
Washington's probably in the four or five range. Both these
teams could end up in the NFC Championship game. However,
(20:06):
I got to give the edge to the Eagles here,
and part of me, listen, I have I went against
Washington a couple times early this season and I got
kicked in the teeth, really stung, so that I backed
them and you know, good to go. Here's my concern
with Washington. And again there's no real data on this
season to back it up. But we know, listen, rookies
sometimes can hit a rookie wall. It's less about that.
(20:30):
Although Daniels was not great against Chicago, you know they
went on the Hail Mary. And then last week. I
know people will say, oh, they scored twenty seven on Pittsburgh. Well,
you know, remember Pittsburgh got a fake punt that failed
and Washington gets the ball first and ten in the
red zone based on that. So that is a kind
of a cheap touchdown if you track those. But you
start to think, okay, two games in a row against
good defenses. Eagles defense is really good. Now it's on
(20:50):
the road and a short week, and then here's the kicker.
So we love what Cliff Kingsbury has done all season.
He has been tremendous dialing up amazing plays. But do
you want to consider his history where in Arizona he
got off to plenty of hot starts, new wrinkles offense,
(21:10):
doing really cool, not gimmicky, but creative, interesting stuff that
caught teams off. Guarden Arizona got off to a bunch
of hot starts, and then in the second half of
the season, for whatever reason, either he stuck to his
guns and people caught up to him, or he tried
to pivot and everybody was ready, or he just didn't
have a counter pitch and the Arizona Cardinals had a
(21:32):
lot of problems in the second half of the season.
This actually goes back to his days at Texas Tech.
People have dug into the numbers. I'm not gonna go
too deep again. Different offenses, different quarterbacks, different everything. That
being said, I think you have to wonder. Okay, second
half of the season and Jane Daniels, this is two
straight games where it hasn't gone awesome. The weather looks
(21:52):
like it's going to be in the high thirties, low
forties short week. Philadelphia has been something of a juggernaut
at home. Jalen Hurts in night games at home eight
two and one against the spread. Philly is coming off
an easy win over Dallas where they were able to
thankfully rest a bunch of their stars in the fourth
(22:13):
quarter so that they'd be fresh for Thursday. Meanwhile, Washington's
in a game to the end with the Steelers, and
you know, we'll see there's no major injuries that I
can find that Brian Robinson, obviously he go for Washington.
That's big. And I did go against Jayden Daniels on
Monday Night football against the Bengals. That one hurt because
(22:33):
Daniels was incredible. Thursday's a little different though. You know, again,
this is a short week for a rookie quarterback, and
I just I'm gonna give the edge to the Eagles here.
I do think that they should be okay handling Jayden Daniels' legs.
I'm gonna assume he I would look at his rushing
yards over prop simply because I think given the good
(22:57):
play of these cornerbacks for Philly, they are rookies, but
they're playing great. I wonder if Jane Daniels does a
lot of tuck and runs the way he did against
Tampa Bay early, if he's under pressure just he just chuck,
tuck and run. However, the linebackers Zach Bond and Nikobe
Dean are very good. Philly loves Zach Bond. They kind
of stole him from the Saints where he was. I
don't know if misused is the right word, but I
don't know. This is kind of to me. It'll ultimately
(23:19):
come down to can Dan Quinn stop Kellen Moore. Remember
these two were unstaffed together at Dallas, a lot of familiarity.
So I'm looking at like a low scoring game and
I'm thinking maybe we're looking at Philadelphia twenty four Washington fourteen,
twenty three to seventeen. I like Philadelphia and the cover.
(23:40):
This is not a big play for me. This is
a pizza money wager at best. These divisional matchups are tricky.
I'm coming off a week where I did awful in
the contest, unspeakably bad. I don't even want to discuss it,
and I'm looking at a bounce back. I don't think
there's any big edge here. I think Philly's the better
team and I think they get it done at home.
That being said, you know, Jaden Daniels is not a
(24:02):
comfortable guy to bet against because he is going to
be in every game thanks to his legs scrambling ability,
and I think Washington's gonna be live here obviously. I mean, listen,
it's a three and a half. If this were three,
to me, it's like, well, why isn't this three? Because
it seems like, okay, this is three two. But I
wonder if all the sharp money pushed it off three
(24:23):
and now US peasants, us pleabes are coming in late
at three and a half, and you know, maybe this
is twenty three twenty Washington loses, you know, and the
sharp guys get a push. So I'm sticking with three
and a half. I think Fonngio's defense gets it done.
I think Philadelphi's defense being you know, they got two
rookie cornerbacks in the secondary and they've been improving every week,
(24:44):
and they were so good against Cooper Rush could have
had no where to throw, like steedee lamb was never
opened in that game. And you know, if they can
bottle up Terry McClure and then you're like, okay, Austin
Eckler beat me, go ahead, double dog, dare you? So
it should be a very good game. I'm excited for it.
We will have weekend picks tomorrow. Talk to you then
This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
What is up Straight Fire, fam, It's me Jason McIntyre,
Straight Fire for Thursday, November fourteenth, And I know I
was fired up yesterday about hoops and what another great
night of basketball folks. Now hopefully tonight we get a
great night of football. We'll do best bet at the
end of the podcast. Eagles Washington, Your boy needs to
(00:32):
bounce back after last last week's it was gross. College
football has been great. We'll do college football picks tomorrow.
But oh my gosh, how good was the NBA last night?
Now we'll get to the NFL storylines. Anthony Richardson is back.
I guess Shane Steichen has been listening to this podcast, right.
We'll get to some Deon Sanders comments that are gonna
be a huge deal today as my guest, and we're
(00:55):
gonna start with the NBA where I mean listen. We
could go Cavs now thirteen to know, although they beat
the corpse that is the Sixers who are without Maxie
em Beat and Paul George. We could go with the Knicks,
who were down twenty two points at home, storm back
seventeen nothing run they end up taking a lead with
four seconds left and then losing when Kobe White gets
(01:16):
fouled on a three. And then of course there's Janis,
who dropped fifty nine points for the Bucks, fifty nine
for Yannis, sixteen of seventeen on free throws. It's crazy
because as I'm watching this game, it went to overtime
in the Bucks one. Do you guys remember where Yannis
was so uncomfortable at the foul line that opposing fans
(01:36):
would count to ten because he took so long and
he got a couple ten second violations at the foul line.
He now hit sixteen of seventeen free throws and he's
banging the mid range. Gianis is playing out of his mind.
Show in the Bucks, hey, step up your fricking game.
His starting backcourt because Lillard was out and they started
putting Gary Trent on the bench. The starting backcourt of
Delon Right and the aj Green comebined to go one
(01:57):
of nine for three points. You're starting back court three points.
Janis had fifty nine. Now in the first quarter, Jannis
had twenty two. The rest of the starters had two.
Like it is looking bleak for the Bucks. Now again,
Dame didn't play so we're not going to go overword,
but I thought the most interesting NBA happening on Wednesday
(02:18):
night was my guy Victor Wembin Yama wemby his first
fifty piece in the league. Shout out to my guy
Victor Wembin Yama eight threes. I had to look this
up because I'm such a nerd. I'm like, Wembin Yama
hit eight threes. So you guys know my story. But
I was born in New York and I really attached
to the Knicks. Sorry. I did like the at the
(02:39):
time Washington Bullets when I was living in Northern Virginia,
but they were terrible. I mean they were awful. I'll
never forget Tony Kornheiser.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Remember I would read the Washington Post every single day.
My parent, my dad would get it the newspaper at
the bottom of the driveway, bring it in before he
went to work, and I would pull out the sports
section and I would read, just Tony Kornheiser just kill
the Bullets every single week they had. He had nicknames
for all the guys. There was a guy named John Williams,
and Corneiser nicknamed him hot Plate because he just kept
(03:10):
getting fatter and fatter, John hot Plate Williams. There was
Steve Colter. I don't think he called him Steve afro Culter,
but he had an afro and that was kind of
his nick name. That one good player they had was
like Jeff Malone. They had Laddell Echols. I don't know
if you guys remember him. It was just it was
a bad time to be a Washing Bullets fan. It
got good when they got Weber and Juwan Howard, but
(03:30):
they weren't able to like make any runs or anything.
But I guess where I was going was I was
a Knicks fan early as a young guy when I
was following the NBA, and I love Patrick Ewing. He
was my favorite player. I waited in line with my
family too. Well, I don't like it was in my family.
I think it was just with my dad to get
an autograph of Patrick Ewing at Macy's and I was
(03:53):
like all excited to meet him. And you know, you
get to the front of line and Patrick Ewing basically
just signs it and hands it to you, and that
was it. It was just no, no, hey, how are you
a kid? None of that. It was just in and
out and I was a little disappointed after it. It's
like I waited in line for that and he wasn't
even that friendly. Anyways, I still like Patrick Ewing. I
have a Nick's jersey. I will wear it. You'll see
(04:14):
me on the beach tour in the Patrick Ewing jersey. Anyways,
I counted, guys, are you ready for this? Webbin Yama
fifty points last night and hit eight three pointers. Okay,
the seven foot four, seven to five guy hit eight threes.
Patrick Ewing in his first nine seasons in the NBA
(04:36):
six hundred and eighty games, hit a total of seven
three pointers. Wembin Yama hit more than that in one game. Now,
I know what you're gonna say, Jason, that was twenty
thirty years ago. Come on, man, get out of your bubble.
This is this is a new NBA. Yeah, no shit, Sherlock,
I'm aware of that. But we're talking nine seasons for
(04:56):
Patrick Ewing, nine seasons, six hundred and eighty games. That's
how much the game has changed. Where one Binyama is
making eight threes in a game in route to fifty points.
It's just and I know people are like, oh, I
hate the NBA. Back to the basket and now it's
this nonsense and threes. I love it. Now I am
a three point shooter, but I still think it's fun.
(05:18):
I mean again seeing wem Begnya, Like, how do you
defend wemban Yama. He'll get you in the post, he'll
hit threes, and he's a rim runner, like he literally
can do everything. And I think the sky's a ceiling
for this guy.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
I love the NBA, guys, I just do. Anyways, let's
get to the NFL.
Speaker 1 (05:36):

Speaker 2 (05:48):
You guys know this. You get some right, you get
some wrong. I fully admit I've been way way wrong
on the Denver Broncos. I did not think that they
would be this good. I had them as pegged as
one of the worst teams in the league. Now that's
could still happened, but through ten games they look competent.
I was way, way, way, way wrong on the Pittsburgh
Steelers and the Russell Wilson experience. Now listen, it's only
(06:09):
been three games for us. They could also creter. The
schedule gets very very difficult here in short order, and
they might end up there's a chance they missed the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Whatever.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
But so far they have exceeded all expectations. One thing
I was right about that you guys listeners to this pod,
no is this Anthony Richardson benching was a total disaster.
So what happens Tuesday morning? Shane Steiken comes out says
Anthony Richardson's back is the starter against the Jets, and oh,
by the way, he's going to be starting the rest
(06:38):
of the season. Hmmm, here's the oddity. Listen to what
Stiken said over the last two weeks, He's made strides
in both his off the field preparation and attention to detail,
big time strides in becoming a pros pro. Are we
missing something here? Are there are there details that have
(06:59):
not trickled out that will was Richardson? I don't know.
When I hear off the field preparation and attention to detail,
I don't know. Are we looking at a homework situation
like Kyler Murray? Did they find out Anthony Richardson was
not watching game tape on his computer? Was he late
to meetings. Was he not locked in?
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Was he a goof off?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I don't know, but it sounds like we're missing something.
A lot of people thought he was just bench for
poor play, which is reasonable. You know, you get center
to the bench. He's missing easy layups. He was what
two for fifteen and one half. Some people think he
was mostly benched because when they asked him why he
left the game for a play, he said he was tired.
It was like the second quarter. I mean, the guy's
running for his life back there and that. I don't
(07:37):
think I've ever heard of a quarterbacks say I had
to come out because I was tired. I needed a
breather for a play. Like is the nutrition in bad shape?
Is he hitting taco bell after practice? What's going on?
I don't know. There's a lot of mystery with this
Anthony Richardson thing, But the bottom line is Stichen said
he's going to start this week against the Jets, and
he will start the rest of the season. Now hopefully
(07:59):
this will not stuck his growth too much. I use
an analogy. I think it was yesterday on the pod,
or maybe it was out and on the herd about
sports and listen in my Men's League, and yes, tonight
we have a huge semi final game against Mosk Golf.
I'm nervous, not gonna lie, you know, I'm keeping it
all honest with you, guys. I'm very nervous. I'll be
(08:19):
livid if we don't win the title this year. Anyways,
I know when I'm on the court, it's like I'm
not one of you. Got a couple stars on our team.
We had to recruit some big time guys. If I'm
in there and I miss, I don't know my first
four shots, Guys, I'm pulling myself out of the game.
I am. Now that's the beauty. I'm not one of
the stars. I can do that. And I use the
story about my kids playing volleyball, and if someone's struggling,
(08:41):
the coach can either yank the kid quickly and they
don't get to play through their mistakes, or you leave
them in there and they sink or swim and who
cares about the result. This is a long process. And
I kind of felt that way about Anthony Richardson. Was
he struggling? Hell yeah, But this idea that, hey, we're
a couple Anthony Richardson interceptions away from being a playoff team.
That is total nonsense. Come on, Like, yeah, did I
(09:02):
think the Cultu are gonna be good? Yes? Did I
think they had a shot at a wild card? Sure,
but you look at the roster and the Texans we
know are winning that division and the AFC's loaded. Now.
A couple teams have been disappointing aka the Jets and Dolphins,
but Miami's rebounding Chargers have given the look of a
playoff team, but their schedule gets tougher. But like, what
are we doing here? Are we playing for the season
(09:27):
or are we going long term? Do we have our
franchise quarterback? And the only way to find that out
is to play the damn guy. So Richardson will go
back to getting to start this year. I think that's
great news for Jonathan Taylor. That's bad news for the Jets,
but it's good news for Jets fans. Yes, Jets fans
who would not think it's the worst thing in the world.
If they lost all of the rest of their games
(09:48):
and then had a top five pick. I think that
would be fantastic. If you're not going to the playoffs,
I'm fine with you losing a lot. You already fired
the coach. Okay, you're not going to the playoffs. The
next thing, the next s Dominoda fall would be the
Aaron Rodgers situation, which I'll get to in a second.
But regarding Richardson, like is he gonna struggle? Of course,
have we seen other highly touted quarterbacks year A god
(10:10):
struggled big time. Lamar Jackson didn't play for the first
what was it like the first eight seven eight weeks
and then came in it was like exclusively running and
it was like, oh, he's limited, but he was winning
games because he could only run. And they did a
good job catering to Lamar Jackson in Baltimore. By the way,
I think in year two he won the MVP award.
(10:30):
Go look up Josh Allen's rookie year. Brian Dable fixed him,
like you just have to have confidence and faith. Now,
what we don't know is was Anthony Richardson the pick
of the owner or the coach in GM And you
know these are answers we may never ever get unfortunately,
because you know, we saw what Stichen did with Jalen Hurts.
MVP candidate would have won the award if he didn't
(10:52):
miss a couple of games late, was dynamic in the
Super Bowl against the Mahomes, nearly won that game by himself.
Hurts was amazing, and you're like, oh, they got a
supercharged version of Jalen Hurts. Like that's what Anthony Richardson
could be.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Now.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Hurts was a multi year starter in college, first at
Alabama and then he transferred to I believe it was
Oklahoma when the whole Ta thing happened. And it's like it.
Hurts is a consummate pro. Like, this guy carries a briefcase.
You always see him in a suit at press conferences.
He's got his act together. Anthony Richardson a little younger,
little inexperienced. You know, I could see it. I think
(11:28):
I told you guys the story. But a lot of
people were courting him to be his agent when he
was at Florida, and I happened to know someone close
to that process, and you know, basically everybody walked away
with man, there's no way this guy's ready. He is immature,
he doesn't have the starts. But if he plays one
more year in college, hell yeah, and then of course
the family gets involved. Oh my gosh, millions of dollars.
(11:50):
He could be a first round pick, let's do it.
And so he wasn't ready. We knew that, okay, and
it's gonna take some time. But like, if you look
at the Colts quarterback situation, folks, I'm gonna rattle off
a couple teams right now. You tell me who would
you rather have given your quarterback situation, Tua at a
massive price given his concussion issues or Anthony Richardson where
(12:13):
you just don't know. I would go Anthony Richardson because
guess what if Tua can't get them to the playoffs
and he's got that huge salary, It's like, ooh, that's
not good. And I know he had the concussion, but
they're gonna have to start looking around to cut bait,
and they don't have a ton of talent, right Anthony
Richardson if he flops this year and next, Okay, we
move on. Would just take another bite at the apple?
(12:34):
Look at the Cleveland Browns. What's your quarterback situation? Deshaun
Watson Achilles, Deshaun Watson train wreck, Jameis Winston. Eh I
do kind of like Winston this week, though, file that away,
Like I would rather have Anthony Richardson just because simply,
we don't know if he's gonna be a franchise quarterback
or not. Like some of these guys like Will Levis,
(12:54):
we know he ain't the dude. Okay, Will Levis is
not gonna be the guy. So Tennessee's got to look
for a quarterback. I read something where some speculated Sam
Darnold could be the stopgap quarterback if they don't have
a high enough pick Ticket Schaedur or cam word like,
come on, but you look around the league and that situation.
I'm not gonna lie Dak Prescott and Dallas given what
had just happened with the injury, given the rest of
(13:15):
the roster, or Anthony Richardson in Indie, that's a no
brainer for me. I'm going Anthony Richardson now. It's easy
for us to play armchair GM here. Meanwhile, if you're
in it, oh, I need Dak out there to save
my job, right, I mean McDaniel there was some scuttlet
about him being on the hot seat. So this is
a difficult process. There's no right answers. That's the beauty
(13:38):
of having a podcast and you guys having a voice
and social media and TV radio, like everybody can chime in,
and there is no definitive right answer right there just isn't.
Like when Baker Mayfield washed out in Cleveland and then
he bounces around to the Rams and was he in
Carolina somewhere and it's like, oh man, it's over for
that guy. Well, you know what, bound it in Tampa
(14:00):
and Baker may feels pretty damn good right now. I
don't think he's a top ten quarterback, but the ceiling
of being a top fifteen quarterback.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
He could be in the league.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
For a while and keep Tampa relevant in that sad
sack division. Like I mean, he definitely looks better than
Derek Carr. No, I mean, I like what I've seen
from Baker. Derek Carr can't seem to figure it out.
All right, let's quickly pivot because I mentioned the Jets briefly,
so I don't want to take credit for this, but
I have been pushing. I hope Aaron Rodgers doesn't come back.
(14:29):
I hope he doesn't come back. Now that they lost
to Arizona. The media is on the story when we
were early, because that's I like to kind of try
to be early on stuff. And the media asked Aaron
Rodgers if he wants to play next year. Okay, men,
you mind you It's mid November and they're three and seven.
Aaron Rodgers, I think so.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
He turns forty one in nineteen days. Okay, Rogers in
the off season, if you remember, said he hopes to
play two or three or f four more years. That
was in the offseason when he was rehabbing the achilles. Okay,
now he's saying, I think so yeah. Well, let's see
how this season ends out. Okay, let's see. I know
(15:14):
it's like the contract stuff is where it gets interesting.
To bring him back, the Jets would have to exercise
a thirty five million dollar option bonus. He has a
two point five million dollar base salary. The cap charge
is manageable twenty three and a half million. If does
it get so ugly that Rogers says, I'm done. I
can't do this. I've lost the you know, maybe I
(15:34):
need to go on a darkness retreat and find myself.
It's just football's not for me anymore. Is that in play?
Of course it is. You don't think Rogers could wake
up between now and I don't know, May March, whatever
it is, and be like I think I'm cooked, and
it would not shock me because that's kind of how
this guy operates the Jets. Now, it would be really
would really screw the Jets if it was past the
(15:55):
draft they didn't take a quarterback and then Rogers says, eh,
you know what, I'm out. But that would be on
break for him because he's kind of an ordinary I
don't want to say too many mean words and be
a jerk here, but there's a scenario where the Jets
are drafting top five and they need to find out
from Rogers and he ain't going. I don't think he's
gonna want to leave money on the table, but honestly,
it would probably be better. And I don't know if
(16:16):
life is gonna get so unpleasant for him with the
Jets and the New York media and are the teammates
gonna turn on him? I don't know. So the Jets
are similar on that Dallas track right now. But I
will say this, folks, and I probably should have led
with this, but we're we're starting to see like this
(16:36):
quarterback class coming out twenty twenty five in the draft
is not gonna be great. Okay, I like cam Ward.
We'll see what everyone else thinks. I think Jalen Milroe
has some potential with Alabama. I think he could be
a decent pro. I don't know if he's top ten.
If you go back and listen to Feldman last week,
it sounds like scouts like him. Sad Or Sanders is
(16:58):
the one guy who's unequivocally been the best out there.
But here's where it gets interesting. So Dion Sanders went
on one of the Fox shows yesterday speak and said
would he step in and stop Schador from being drafted
by the wrong team? And he said, yeah, but I'm
not going to do it publicly. I'll do it privately. Well,
(17:19):
ladies and gentlemen, I need to ask you. Can you
please define for me the wrong team? I don't know.
That's very open ended, extremely open ended. The wrong team.
I'll just I'll just go through a couple with you here, guys, Okay,
this is fun. There should be a fun experience. Is
Jacksonville the wrong team? I'll just remove them because they
(17:40):
pay Trevor Lawrence. Are the New York Giants the wrong team?
I mean, how many coaches have been in the last
three or four years now. Brian Dable is a great coach.
You have Molak neighbors. Maybe a good city for marketing
could work. Tennessee is that the wrong team? Who's the
last good quarterback they had Steve McNair I Cleveland, terrible franchise,
(18:00):
nobody's ever had success there. That could be a bad
setting for Shaduur, who feels like a Hollywood type guy,
not like a Cleveland, Ohio guy. Vegas Raiders, I said,
dangerous city, also a really rotten franchise right now, from
owner to coach, they're going nowhere fast. They traded Davonte
like Vegas is a multi year rebuild. I don't think
(18:21):
New England, you know, Drake May's look good. I don't
know if New Orleans would Jets Carolina. I mean, there's
a lot of potentially wrong to use Deon's word, a
lot of wrong teams in there. I listen, I'm on
record saying this, and it's early. Let's see how the
process goes for Cam Woarre, Jalen Milroe, all these guys.
If you draft shaduor Sanders, just be ready from day
(18:45):
one for the Deon Sanders is going to be the
next coach. Just be ready. And you know that there's
some coaches around the league. Callahan and Tennessee, do you
really if you draft him, you're gonna be looking over
your shoulder and that is undeniable. You could say, no,
I don't care what he said about staying in college.
If he's got a chance to coach his son in
(19:06):
the NFL, you can bet your bottom dollar that Dion's
jumping at that. So whatever coach drafts Shador, just be
ready that that will be a looming situation. All right,
let's get your best bet here for Thursday night football.

(19:43):
Here's your best bet.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
All right, Thursday and at Football is another great matchup.
I don't think we could match Bengals Ravens from last week,
which was a thriller Ravens escape. But we get two
really good teams in the NFC. I think the Eagles
are second or third in the NFC, and I think
Washington's probably in the four or five range. Both these
teams could end up in the NFC Championship game. However,
(20:06):
I got to give the edge to the Eagles here,
and part of me, listen, I have I went against
Washington a couple times early this season and I got
kicked in the teeth, really stung, so that I backed
them and you know, good to go. Here's my concern
with Washington. And again there's no real data on this
season to back it up. But we know, listen, rookies
sometimes can hit a rookie wall. It's less about that.
(20:30):
Although Daniels was not great against Chicago, you know they
went on the Hail Mary. And then last week. I
know people will say, oh, they scored twenty seven on Pittsburgh. Well,
you know, remember Pittsburgh got a fake punt that failed
and Washington gets the ball first and ten in the
red zone based on that. So that is a kind
of a cheap touchdown if you track those. But you
start to think, okay, two games in a row against
good defenses. Eagles defense is really good. Now it's on
(20:50):
the road and a short week, and then here's the kicker.
So we love what Cliff Kingsbury has done all season.
He has been tremendous dialing up amazing plays. But do
you want to consider his history where in Arizona he
got off to plenty of hot starts, new wrinkles offense,
(21:10):
doing really cool, not gimmicky, but creative, interesting stuff that
caught teams off. Guarden Arizona got off to a bunch
of hot starts, and then in the second half of
the season, for whatever reason, either he stuck to his
guns and people caught up to him, or he tried
to pivot and everybody was ready, or he just didn't
have a counter pitch and the Arizona Cardinals had a
(21:32):
lot of problems in the second half of the season.
This actually goes back to his days at Texas Tech.
People have dug into the numbers. I'm not gonna go
too deep again. Different offenses, different quarterbacks, different everything. That
being said, I think you have to wonder. Okay, second
half of the season and Jane Daniels, this is two
straight games where it hasn't gone awesome. The weather looks
(21:52):
like it's going to be in the high thirties, low
forties short week. Philadelphia has been something of a juggernaut
at home. Jalen Hurts in night games at home eight
two and one against the spread. Philly is coming off
an easy win over Dallas where they were able to
thankfully rest a bunch of their stars in the fourth
(22:13):
quarter so that they'd be fresh for Thursday. Meanwhile, Washington's
in a game to the end with the Steelers, and
you know, we'll see there's no major injuries that I
can find that Brian Robinson, obviously he go for Washington.
That's big. And I did go against Jayden Daniels on
Monday Night football against the Bengals. That one hurt because
(22:33):
Daniels was incredible. Thursday's a little different though. You know, again,
this is a short week for a rookie quarterback, and
I just I'm gonna give the edge to the Eagles here.
I do think that they should be okay handling Jayden Daniels' legs.
I'm gonna assume he I would look at his rushing
yards over prop simply because I think given the good
(22:57):
play of these cornerbacks for Philly, they are rookies, but
they're playing great. I wonder if Jane Daniels does a
lot of tuck and runs the way he did against
Tampa Bay early, if he's under pressure just he just chuck,
tuck and run. However, the linebackers Zach Bond and Nikobe
Dean are very good. Philly loves Zach Bond. They kind
of stole him from the Saints where he was. I
don't know if misused is the right word, but I
don't know. This is kind of to me. It'll ultimately
(23:19):
come down to can Dan Quinn stop Kellen Moore. Remember
these two were unstaffed together at Dallas, a lot of familiarity.
So I'm looking at like a low scoring game and
I'm thinking maybe we're looking at Philadelphia twenty four Washington fourteen,
twenty three to seventeen. I like Philadelphia and the cover.
(23:40):
This is not a big play for me. This is
a pizza money wager at best. These divisional matchups are tricky.
I'm coming off a week where I did awful in
the contest, unspeakably bad. I don't even want to discuss it,
and I'm looking at a bounce back. I don't think
there's any big edge here. I think Philly's the better
team and I think they get it done at home.
That being said, you know, Jaden Daniels is not a
(24:02):
comfortable guy to bet against because he is going to
be in every game thanks to his legs scrambling ability,
and I think Washington's gonna be live here obviously. I mean, listen,
it's a three and a half. If this were three,
to me, it's like, well, why isn't this three? Because
it seems like, okay, this is three two. But I
wonder if all the sharp money pushed it off three
(24:23):
and now US peasants, us pleabes are coming in late
at three and a half, and you know, maybe this
is twenty three twenty Washington loses, you know, and the
sharp guys get a push. So I'm sticking with three
and a half. I think Fonngio's defense gets it done.
I think Philadelphi's defense being you know, they got two
rookie cornerbacks in the secondary and they've been improving every week,
