(00:25):
the code Bobby sports to get in the action. How
about have got boys? Come on? You know we're gonna
lead with that. We also see Kevin in a Cowboys jersey, sir,
and people have been asking you all about it, like, hey,
congrats man, good game, good game. Yeah. Yeah, we've had
a few people in today. Hey I love the jersey. Yeah,
America's team Cowboys. Number four. Who is that? What do
(00:47):
you mean? That's Dak Dak attack he wears four. Yeah,
he's number four. I haven't been a diehard fan that long.
Just this year. I guess I really don't know anybo
I haven't known people's numbers, and I as a kid,
meaning really all of them when I was a kid.
But I guess I don't pay attention. I don't even
what numbers. Brady twelve, I knew that, t That's easy, man.
(01:09):
I just don't remember people's numbers, what's my homes? No idea? Really,
that's a tough one for me. It's like, I can't name.
Give me somebody really famous. Davante Adams. He's got to
be in the eighties, so I would go eight one
Davante a single number? What is he? Okay, dude, that's crazy.
(01:35):
It's crazy that I don't know one's number. Aaron Rodgers
and that was I think only is Die went TWI
and I jumped out just literally just followed you, well
what And we can go through a lot of this stuff,
but let's start with Tom Brady for a second, because
I want to get the Cowboys in a second. I
think it's aid a second twice. But where does Tom
(01:56):
Brady play next year? Does he want to play next year?
That could be an option. I mean I don't I
say yes, I think he plays. I think he goes
one more year, and I think he announces it as
he's gonna go one more year, like this is my
last year. And I think he probably Rodgers has us
a little bit, and we wonder and maybe he's wondering,
(02:19):
maybe he tries to get back with Jael. I don't
know what the situation is it's interesting, but are they
they're divorced. But and there's got to be something more
than just him playing football. Yeah, because it could be Okay,
he plays football, it's not just him playing football. But
maybe it's the fact that he alienated everything else in
(02:40):
his life for many months at a time. Might he
played football and if he says this is my life,
I don't know. I just think if I were betting now,
I would bet he comes back for one more year.
But then we can talk about where we think he goes.
First of all, does he come back? Yes? Or no? Eddie,
he does not come back. From watching him walk off
the field, I mean, dude, I don't like Tom. I've
never been to Tom Brady fan and mostly hater because
(03:01):
he was so good. Um, I respected him as being
the goat. Absolutely, he's definitely one of the greatest quarterback.
That's that we've seen him play for sure. So I
don't like him. But I felt bad for him yesterday.
I mean, he just looked like complete crap. It looked
like the old man was getting older and it's time.
It was almost like Joe Montana when he went to
the Chiefs, like, oh man, he should have quit last year.
(03:24):
Yes he did when that slide. Yes, yes, it's a
bad slide, not a good look. I still think though,
he performed that way because of how the people were
performing around him. For example, that ball he threw to
Evans near the end of the game on a lot, Yeah,
right into his fingertips and drops it like they didn't
(03:47):
throw deep a lot because he doesn't have time to
throw deep a lot. And if you can't run the ball,
you can't run play action. That's really what Brady is
effective and very efficient doing. So I do think Brady
is still a top fifteen quarterback he in the past.
Julio Jones and the end zone, I mean that was beautiful.
I think physically still the top ten to fifteen quarterback. Mentally,
(04:09):
still probably the best. So I think he comes back,
but only if he can be on a team that
has a good offensive line and depth. Because death got
him this year. I mean they didn't have old line.
I mean sec of the season where they had more
than like three guys starting at one time, and then
(04:32):
one of those would go down, this TB would come
back and it was just him going in. Yes, but
I agree with you, he did look bad last night,
But any quarterback is gonna look bad if they if
they're not given the time to look good. And it's
not like he has the physical tools to go Barry Sanders,
where you may have a bad old line, but you're
still so good that you can sometimes navigate around that.
(04:53):
He was kind of playing out of fear too for
most of the game. I felt like he just saw
so much pressure coming after relentless flying around early on too,
because the Cowboys, I think their first two possessions they
go to and they went, both of them did, and
then he was like, well, well that was my point,
Like the Cowboys went three and out. Then I was like, okay,
well here here go the stupid the Bucks about to
(05:15):
Oh wow, Okay. Cowboys were on it, making tackles behind
the line, hitting hard, and it happened twice in If
I were Brady too, I'd be like, God, damg man,
these guys are coming at me like crazy. Ye. So,
but I think if the right situation, I think he
comes back and he goes now Kevin, I think he
does too, But yes, for the perfect situation, whether it's
in Vegas, but he knows he has a run game
(05:37):
and a defense when he threw it sixty six times.
That's insane. A defense is That's That's a great point too,
because I never factor in as a quarterback for the
defense being able to give you a shot to That's
a great point that you need a good defense so
you're not always playing from behind as well. It's almost
like it's got to be the Niners or no, I
want to say Vegas, but the Niners are just so
(05:58):
set up for success with run game in the old
line in the defense. It's almost like if he either
goes there or nowhere, Mike, I don't think so. He
could be forty six. He didn't look good. He'll be
forty six next year. Yeah, going into the season. But
I didn't realize he's that old. Yeah, he's so good looking.
I mean he does take When he was walking in
(06:19):
like he was, it was just like I didn't even
use this term a lot, but it was like Pierce
Whack and he's got good hair. I mean it's just
like right, like it's like everything and I never felt
more dt off watching TV. So we're I'm gonna go.
He comes back and goes this is my final year.
He declares it. He loves spotlight obviously he deserves it.
(06:41):
He learns it, yea, and so he says it because
he also wants the This is his final year, and
I think I'll look at let's take a draft kings
odds here plus two hundred of the Bucks still the favorite,
but bear like he stays plus two fifty to the Raiders,
plus three fifty to the Niners. The one that I
(07:03):
like its plus seven fifty the Patriots, because what a
fun story that would be if you going back to
the back Kevin, Do you guys feel like you have
enough of not not to bring him back? You know?
I mean I would love it what I'm saying, Do
you haven't? Do you have enough weapons in the old
arsenal to be able to make him feel like he's
gonna go up? Have a defense, having offensive line? No,
I feel like. I mean, our defense was good, but
our old line was kind of you know, up and down,
(07:24):
and then our weapons. I mean, come on, our number
one receiver was Jacoby Myers. Davante Parker miss half the season,
so he's going from Mike Evans. If you can't get
it done with those guys running games better, but I
don't think it'll come back. Plus nine hundred of the
Jets and the Giants. But I'm telling you what ain't
going to the Giants? Oh Dandy dives. I mean that's
giants are set now. They didn't even give him his
(07:46):
fifth year option, and now they got to pay him.
He looks great. You don't know if found interesting. Did
you see Dable's comments after where they're like, do you
think you did good? He's like, yeah, they did good.
I kind of shrugged it off. I was just wondering
if that's like the owners saying, hey, I still got
a wholesome leverage here. Don't pump him off too much.
I mean, if you don't want a whole leverage, he'll
go and and make a bunch of money somewhere else. I
don't feel like they have the now that he's wont
(08:07):
to playoff game too now that Jones, that Vikings victory
was him going, well, they're already gonna resign me, and
now they have to resign me and they have to
pay me even more. He also what he runs for
seventy and through for three hundred, Yeah, and look great
doing it. He was so legit. He's a big guy.
He could run. He's I mean, first year in this
(08:30):
system and now he knows the system. C kwon. Oh dad,
they were shooting Sakewan out of a cannon because that defense,
the Minnesota defense was happened to also watch for Jones
to run. They've also I mean for a team with
no wide receivers, yeah, they got no one. Can you
imagine giving him a weapon out there too? Is it
(08:52):
is awesome? Is it? What a weekend? What a weekend
for games? Okay, Cowboys first, Eddie, Mike, your thoughts watching
the Cowboys dominate last night? Oh my gosh, I loved it.
I'm on cloud nine still. I mean you're watching a team,
you know, just that played terribly last week and then
play like this. I mean they were firing from all cylinders, dude,
I mean Dac was on point. I mean he was.
(09:13):
He was just hitting every single target. The defense was great.
There was some like you know, our kicker obviously is
like that was like that. It was so weird that
it was just weird, Like, yes, that's a great word.
It was so weird that I don't even feel like
he's a bad kicker and should be cut because something
was happening that made it that weird. It's like when
we play golf and you're like, how do I keep
shanking it straight? Right? Like I played golf my whole life,
(09:36):
Like how does this happen? He could not straighten that
ball out to save his life. Now what do you do?
So so they did go take a shot at like
Jerry Jones when this was happening, and you just see
him like his he was like grabbing his head like
what is going on? What do you do in that scenario?
Like as an owner, as a coach, like what do
you do with him? Do you just kind of like say, hey,
(09:58):
it's all right, it happens. Good thing he won the game.
But do you just work with him some more? Or
I think if you're going to keep him, you really
don't do anything because it's just gonna further f his
head up. You know, I think he's been a really
good kicker off season, he's been great. I think he
missed one inside of fifty, uh, and then he missed
four extra points. What you worry about is and maybe
(10:21):
you don't worry, but I would just want to go
back and see how many kicks he's made with adversity
or how many kicks he's made with pressure. But There
wasn't even pressure except for it being a playoff, right,
That's that's pressure that it's But it's a playoff game, right,
it's elevated. I just think something was up that was
so weird that I still trust him because I don't
(10:42):
think it was a trust. Although they were gonna go
and kick a field goal last night and they pulled
that fourth and yeah, he was running out in the
field and they were like no, no, no, and I wondered,
what they have still gone for it anyway. It was
a situation where maybe they go for it anyway and
they pulled them back. I think they had to go
for it at that point. When he made that that
fifth extra point, do you see everybody jump like, here's
(11:03):
the thing. Show it on TV. Though, like they missed
the kick completely when he kicked it. This was the
last I'm sorry, this is the last extra point. They
missed him like, guys, maybe that was it. Let's not
show it at all. And he made it no problem.
I wouldn't cut him. He's too good of a kicker.
It was a bad night. But then I start to go,
give an example. We could, uh, let's do a comedy
(11:25):
show where I'm doing a big comedy show. We got
a theater, I've sold out. I'm gonna fly into UM
Albuquerque and it's two thousand, three thousand people and I'm
super pumped. A big night for me, a big night
for everybody else. And I have diarrhea. Nobody knows that.
But I gotta not go out there and perform even
though of diarrhea, and I'm having to like a been
(11:49):
ahold of my tongue. Let's say when I was in
Vegas but a whole almost took my tongue. I never
really want to say anything about it then, but I couldn't,
so I made a video about it. But let's say
I just try to go. I would have been physically
mentally treating everything differently because something that was happening that
nobody knewnything about. Yeah, but if I was Brett Maher,
I would be like, hey, guys, can I do a
pre game interview? I gotta tell everyone I have diarrhea,
(12:10):
because because suck I want to be there. They're gonna
be like, yes, well, we expected that he came out
and said he had diary. We get to the reporter
in the pregame, Hey make sure you throw this out
there before the game. And I'm probably wrong on my
point with that is we don't we don't know. We
we feel like because they're on TV and they're playing
in front of thousands and then millions people watching, we
feel like everything's gonna be perfect internally with them externally
(12:31):
in their lives. Get it. It could be anything, And
to me, it has to be something because he just
has not done anything like that ever. But you're right,
that first one I missed, I was like, dang. The
second one missed, I was like, this is the fourth,
the one that hit the top of the apparently went
over the ye wasn't it four? That was four? Four
in a row. I'm even questioned now that there was four.
(12:53):
I was like, maybe it was. It was. It was
two to the right, one of the left, one over.
He had to be like it was you know, he
had to say to a holder, if they just know
how diarrhea? Right? But see, Okay, So the rest of
the team they showed shots and I'm like, hey, did
you're good? You're good? Pat on the helmet, and then
Dad after the fourth and miss He's just like, what
the happening? Yeah, he's going on. I bet Dad wishes
(13:14):
he wouldn't have done that night. No, right, Yeah, by
the way, where's ready, where's bready gonna play me? Yeah?
I like the Niners. If you have to pick somebody,
he's from, he's from California, like, and that's really homecoming Vegas, Mike,
I say Vegas. Does he like Josh McDaniels enough to
go back to Vegas? They're already gether for a long time.
(13:38):
I'm gonna go with the Bucks one more run? Okay? Uh?
Cowboys when you're still in Cloud nine? Oh my gosh.
I mean, I mean after watching them last last night
and just how they played, I mean, how can you
not be so pumped? I mean, yes, we go to
San Francisco next they eight and nine Bucks team. Yeah, sure,
I get it. But it's Tom Brady's what everyone said.
(13:59):
It's Tom Brady. He gets in the playoffs, Mr playoffs
and I love but they're not. You're you're doing his
voice like, oh that people are wrong. No, he's won
more than anybody else, so he they people should feel that. No,
I get it, but we proved everyone wrong and we
broke we broke the streak, so boom, we don't we
don't crumble in the playoffs. You haven't won a playoff games.
It's like I think I was screaming out of my mom.
(14:20):
I'll tell you. I'll tell you when yesterday. Yeah, let's
just reminder. Twenty five whistles brought to you by Dragging
Sports Book, an official sports betting partner of the NFL.
Download the Draft Kings app and use the code Bobby
sports to get in on the action. I let you
guys pick the parlay. I thought we were gonna hit
it too. I was feeling good forty minus eight and
(14:40):
a half the Seahawks. I wasn't feeling good about that
one till late the Jags plus there in a half
of the Chargers as a win and the Vikings minus
two the Giants as a loss. So I don't take
any responsibility for this one. Good You shouldn't. It was
a team effort because it was two and one into
three parlay. But if I had picked him, it had
been one too. But still, I'll tell you, I suck
(15:01):
a pick in an NFL game in college, I feel great,
But NFL, man, that's hard, man, Yeah, it is hard.
So whistles, you want to take the parlay next week?
Thought I feel good about it. Hey, I'm ready for
next week. I've been just having doing a little ACTRA studying.
I feel good. New users use the code Bobby sports

(15:24):
called gambler in New York called eight seven seven eight
hoping why or text hoping why four six seven three
six nine. See show notes for full details. So the
Cowboys are having to go players though, two days less
rest in San Francisco. That's a disadvantage, you know, the TV,
the fact that the Cowboys and Tom Brady are so
(15:44):
marketable that is gonna cost the Cowboys two days of
rest in preparation, The fact that people wanted to watch
that game so much they wanted to move to Monday night.
I still think the NFL, knowing that that was probably
gonna be the case, should have put on a Sunday night,
just because that is such an unfair advantage. And even
think about that, it's like you're being punished for how
(16:05):
popular you are. That's what happened with the Cowboys. That's
what happened because people want to watch the Cowboys versus
Tom Brady for many reasons. Cowboys have one forever, Jerry Jones,
America's team. Can they break the streak? Can? Can Tom
Brady win? Can? So you're gonna go on the biggest night,
Monday Night. We are going to put your populatory in
(16:26):
the fact that you'll drive millions of millions of people
on Monday Night, which, by the way, if you win, though,
you gotta flip around real quick and go play the
forty niners in San Francisco and with limited rest in preparation.
That sucks. And they played so hard too. I mean,
you know, like you have a few players go down
(16:47):
a couple of times and it's like, oh, man, like
you want to take him out and you want to
rest him, but you can't. You're playing Tom Brady. You
can't do that. And I felt like they played their
hardest halftime. Right at halftime. I thought when Parsons came
up kind of limping, I was like, oh, this sucks. This'
is it? Cowboy friend? I have been for like I
don't know, three months. We're Jerry's guys, you know, Yeah,
(17:09):
of course I made a bigger bet. I made the
biggest bet I've ever made on a football game last night,
and you're not in our Cowboys group thread, Kevin, because
we're all Cowboy die hards in that group thread. Yeah,
I figured. Yet it's called what's our group called the name?
It's called Sinko Cowboys amigos. So it's five Cowboys friends, Okay, alrighty, yeah,
we can't change up to six. Sorry, quadra Sinko, Sinko.
(17:32):
What's Spanish for cowboys? Why isn't it seagulls? And easy?
We can change that right now, right, let's do it.
So it was in and you know, I've been doing
pretty good. I kind of bet I kind of bet
bet the whole load just about. I bet it was
a big old load. I bet bucks on the Cowboys
(17:53):
to win, just straight up with yeah, I don't want
to play with that three and so hindsight, you know, like, oh,
shout out of that. But yeah, yeah, So in the end,
I know, listen, my butt was pucker one. Brady scored
the touchdown. I was like, oh god, they missed the
two point. I was like, oh, but unclinched a little
bit that ball to Mike Evans when I saw him
(18:14):
he had he Yeah, and so my butt clinched again.
Then unpucker, it's tired. The end of the night. I
just kept puckering an unpuck around all night long. Um
so let me see what I want here on that?
Because six, so I put the winnings for the year
(18:39):
up and hit that's good. We like that, Yeah, we
like that. And then did you want on your the
other league? Two? Are you still going with that because
you have the Cowboys winning? I did, But so here's
the deal at the Chargers to those are my two teams. Yeah,
we can talk about this stupid game on the mental.
But yeah, so let me see what. I didn't gain
(19:02):
a whole bunch because everybody else won games two that
had to pay in a little bit. Let me see
if they've updated it. Yes, but yes, I don't think
Cowboys and it should have taken. It's worth five bucks.
But all those other games that other people won I
had to pay a hundred bucks in, So I don't
think that I'm made that much. If anything, I'm gonna
pull it up here. Nope, I actually lost money. Maybe
(19:23):
they're gonna how many games Cowboys won? They went twelve
before last night. Okay, so I'm gonna win one more,
so I'm gonna be at mine. But then you won. Nope,
that's right now it says minus thirty but the twenty eight.
But but I'm still in it to hopefully move that
need a little bit the next round against that sucks man.
(19:46):
I got so easy, come easy, go both spots. They
did that more. I guess next week. That's it. That's
the answer. Every time I was chasing a little bit too.
I'm being honest because I bet I got him out
in Arkansas to win, not near that near, And I
(20:08):
was like, you know why, I'm gonna go the game
fun And they got they lost, and I was like,
you know, I was gonna already bet substantial on that
one anyway, and I have it because I'm up. I
would never bet money if I was gonna get in
trouble um. But I was chasing. I was a mildly chasing. Hey,
I caught it in't Chargers Jaguars. I'm gonna tell you this,
(20:28):
this is a decision that I made midgame. I thought
it was a strategic one. Game starts Trevor Lawrence pick
touchdown Chargers, Trevor Lawrence pick Charger score touchdown around that time.
It wasn't exactly like that, but it's over at halftime
and I don't want to use up all my currency
(20:49):
of just sitting watching football. So I thought, I'm gonna
go hang out with Caitlin so I can then use
some of that time later. Oh yeah, different games, and
I go, hey, this game's out. I was honest with her.
Does its games over? So let's go do something. Let's
go because I don't need to watch the second half
(21:10):
of this game. We go, get a smoothie, you go
to coffee, plays do something. And she's like, oh cool,
she go was cool, cool, because that probably means you
want to watch another game. Yes, yes, it's absolutely all.
And so she gets it. She knows I'm coming and
what I'm coming with, and so she's like cool, cool, cool,
And so I don't know if she goes and put
the clothes on, Like it's like thirty forty five minutes
we're planning to leave. I was gonna go watch the
(21:32):
Dogs and we're about to go, and all of a sudden,
the Jaguars start coming back, and so I'm like, I
gotta watch this game, and so I set it up
and then I cancel it, which is not good. I
should have just watched the game because it's even worse.
I made her get ready now I gotta watch the
game too, and so then and then they lose. And
(21:54):
so it's not that I'm a huge Charger fan, but
I bet on them. What an epic collapse. I saw
Charges fire the ROC this morning. I guess that means
they're not firing Staley. Then if they're going to fire
those guys, they must not be fired because they would
have led with that. Yeah, I guess. So it was
their defense. Everything went wrong. They did everything wrong in
(22:18):
that second half, meaning they played they were not aggressive
at all, so passive, just trying to hold off. And
Trevor Lawrence like he's now here. That was his I'm
here a game, the Titans game at the end of
the year to go. We're gonna make it the playoffs.
That's like, all right, we think this was a successful season.
(22:38):
We think Trevor Lawrence can be something. Now. He was
a little rough early, but okay, he just want a
game that matter. Sure Titans weren't, but it's just about
winning the game. He is now after going deep into
the tunnel with four picks. The fact that he was
able to come back and then throw four touchdowns and
win that game and look that good. He's here now. Yeah,
(23:01):
he's not on the Mahomes level, but I think he's now.
If Mahomes and Josh Allen are in the A group,
Joe Burrow probably in the A minus group, but they're
all up in that tier. I think now Trevor Lawrences
in the B group. And credit to Doug Peterson too.
There's the reason he wanted Super Bowl. Yeah, you could
just tell there. He's been there and Staley hasn't. Do
you guys feel like Lawrence is now in the bottom
of that B group? Yes? Absolutely? Yeah. Back half of
(23:23):
the season, the last couple of games. Yeah, and this playoff,
especially this playoff game and the pressure is on. He
played horribly. Didn't let it really affect him, didn't He
didn't drag his daughter because of it. He got out
freaking won the game. Is Herbert out of that B group? No?
I still think he's in the B group? Yeah. I
mean he still scored seven. They still score. I don't
(23:46):
put it all on Herbert. No, the defense don't let
him scored twenty points a second half. That's all you
gotta do. But I do. I put it more on
the offensive coordinator, which the fired up because they were
they they were doing things that they don't normally do
on offense just to try to be conservative. That's not
(24:07):
when you do that. I mean, I get it, but
if you're doing it first, but once you're they scored
two touchdowns, you gotta kind of open it back up.
And they didn't. Yeah, it was almost like they were
just playing. And that's okay at first, but then when
you realize you might lose, you gotta then play to win,
because I'd probably come out up seven and play not
to lose for a while until they've actually gone, oh crap,
(24:30):
they've just uh now they've they've they've outsmart at us.
Now we have to not have to switch our style
because they switched theirs as bad. I saw an interesting
tweet this morning too, or somebody I can remember who
it said, but they said that the Cowboys played, you know,
with the big lead, they played smart every time. They
try to stay in bounds, and they would try to
run that clock as much as they could, and they
work somewhat aggressive even though they didn't have to be.
(24:51):
They still threw the ball a little bit when they didn't.
Usually you would just run it and try to run
the clock and hope to God your But the Cowboys did.
I won't say put their foot all the way into gas,
but they didn't, just put it in neutral. And you
gotta love you gotta love it because easily you can
throw a pick, something can go wrong. But they did
and they stuck with it. It's good. I like tom
(25:11):
big Cowboy fans there are I like that Jery Tomorrow.
You gotta keep that all week. I thought it was
one day all week, and if they beat the forty niners,
you have to wear it for the rest of the
tattoo star in your face. Um, okay, just we'll just
quickly roll down some of these. We talked about Charges
and Jaguars. I mean we saw two of the biggest
(25:33):
comebacks ever in the last few weeks with the Vikings
coming back over the Colts and then the Jaguars over
the Chargers. I mean that's two of the biggest ones
ever this year. Is this going to be more of
a standard thing because offenses are they can score so quickly,
and so are they gonna our teams that are up
a lot gonna have to change being conservative now because
(25:57):
teams can score so quickly, like this may change how
second halfs are done. If you're up four touchdowns, usually
you would come out and just run the ball, run
the clock, run the clock. Because offenses weren't able to
score like they are now. Quarterbacks weren't able to But
now that they can, maybe this does shift a little
bit where teams don't have to work. They don't let
me say this, they don't. They're not good sportsman, and
(26:18):
so we're not gonna run it up. Maybe they have to.
Maybe they feel like, now we got to go and
be at forty before we stop because teams can score
so much. And coach would be like, you know, there's
no need to run it up. Well, maybe it's not
called running it up anymore. Maybe it's just making sure
it's safe the deal. I wonder if we see that
the fort and Seahawks is a good game. It really was.
Until late the second half. I couldn't believe that the
(26:40):
Seahawks were playing that close. It was awesome, and I
was like, maybe they're gonna do No, they're not. Like
as soon as I started to think, well they could
never mind, I totally bit on the genos story, and
I thought, I mean, I thought that he had a
legit chance. And now I don't think you've been on it.
I think it was awesome. That's It's one of the
greatest seasons in my mind for if you're a Seahawks fan,
because when you come and you think it's gonna be
(27:01):
awful and then it ends up being a little more
than pretty good but not exactly really good, like that
net gain is awesome. When you're expected to be great
and you do great, it's still fun, but you had
the expectation and it was disappointment. If you don't, this
is all wins. Sure, it's a little dis appointing and
lost the game, But man, you're a Seahawks fan going
into the season, it was like, who's gonna be the quarterback?
(27:23):
This guy that wasn't good enough to start, or this
guy that wasn't good enough to start. It's awesome. I
haven't heard Drew Luck's name all year exactly. What was
a quarterback competition ends up being one guy who's not
gonna get paid if not there somewhere the Dolphins and
the Bills, you know what, go back. All the Dolphins
were gonna do it. Well, I thought the Dolphins were
(27:46):
gonna be in, and they were. I guess I always
felt like the Bills, we're gonna figure out way to
pull it out. But two interceptions and a fumble recovery
you do that, the odds of you winning aren't very good, Skyler.
Skyler Thompson also looked he was throwing the ball with
some zip. Yeah, he was slinging it. Yeah, and he
(28:07):
had confident and almost it wasn't reckless, but he had
nothing to lose. That's what it looked like. He had
nothing to lose. He's just throwing it. And good for him,
because you got to think that there was so much
pressure going into that game for that dude, like this
is it, this is your shot. You're going in the
first playoff game, like this is your first play and
this is your first game and it's a playoff game.
(28:28):
They need you. Well, he started another game, But you're right.
I completely agree with you. I think his showing was
solid though. I think he now has the job as
a backup somewhere, even if it's not Miami. I think
he can go be a pretty good backup quarterback. Would
you guys agree with that? I don't think he's a
starter anywhere. Giants beat the Viking started, won twenty four
(28:49):
Daniel Jones three yards, two touchdowns, ran for almost eighty
It was not Kirk cousins fault. They lost the game.
Kirk Cousins actually played pretty well last play the games
that I remembers when he throws it to talk, you know,
t J. Hawkinson five yards when they needed way more
than that. That's what we're gonna remember. But Kirk Cousins actually,
(29:11):
and I don't know his line played pretty well. I
never watched and thought, what, there's Cousins sucking again, but
prime time Kirk got him bit him in the butt
at the end of the game. But no, no, I
thought the Giants would win. I think we all did.
But then once they started playing, You're like, I don't know.
Is I an idiot? That's what I was like. I
was like, I don't know. The Vikings do look really good.
What are you gonna say, Kevin? Now, I was gonna say.
(29:33):
My thing is Jefferson was just nowhere to be seen.
Like even if he's double cover, I don't care. He's
the best. He's what top two three in the in
the league. Just throw it up to him. Maybe one. Well,
I don't know if I'm gonna be allowed throwing up,
but yeah, I'm just saying. But Kirk Cousins was yeah,
thirty one for thirty nine to seventy three with two touchdowns.
That's why. So it wasn't Cousins fault. That last taste
we got was of Cousins doing something really dumb though,
(29:54):
So that's what we're gonna remember if it was anybody else.
Not anybody else, but you know, because it's Cousins, it's Tez.

Hoping y four six seven three six nine see show

(30:58):
saw it with the Arkansas Texas A and um, if
you're like over a half yard out, you shouldn't be
holding that ball and trying to extend that all over.
And I know you're a great athlete your whole life,
You've been a great athlete. You think you can do
it most times, you probably probably does work. But two
yards out, I guess I'm just so scared of that
because I saw K. J. Jefferson do at Texas and
M loss is the game. They knocked it out fumble
running back for a touchdown. The same thing that happened here.
(31:20):
That game completely flipped whenever who was it that ran
it back for Hubbard? Complete flip of the game when
that happened. Um, the Ravens surprising to me though, like
the clock management issues at the end of the game,
because hardball usually is pretty good about that. I think
everybody was surprised, like the time outs at the end. Um.
(31:43):
But the Bengals win, and it's just about winning at
this point. It's not about any sexy points. It's gonna
be good next week. I mean, I think that's all
the games, right, Cowboys books, what's game you're looking for? Eddie?
I know what you're gonna go ahead, I saw the
has to say it. You know what I'm gonna say.
The Cowboys and the Niners. Man, I mean, I just
(32:04):
cannot wait for that game. Just a little trick though.
It's my son's birthday. I mean, I don't know what.
Does he want to have a Cowboys party? I know, no,
he said he'd like to go to dinner, and I'm like,
what time? Because the games at five thirty? The game
is no, it's not it's on, yeah, Sunday at five thirty.
So either we're gonna have a late Saturday Saturday night.
(32:25):
Though I know I told him that because that's what
you should do. Aside, because that way you can go
later and have fun because it's not a school night.
He did say like, oh, I mean, I do want
to see the Cowboys game, but I don't know. I'll decide.
I'll decide, Dad. I'm like, oh my gosh, it better
be Cowboys game. What if Cowboys game? Or or he
could watch a movie in our theater nice during the
(32:48):
Cowboys game, or he can watch the Cowboys game in
the theater. We can have a party for him, right,
But whatever it is, I have to be with him.
I know what I'm saying, you guys. I'm not gonna
throw him in the theater. So he is. If we
have a I can I can ask Caitlin. But if
we have a small or we won't say small, but
we'll have a Cowboys birthday party for him in the
theater room. In the theater room he liked, thinks the
(33:11):
movie theaters awesome. He could watch a movie in the
afternoon over there, whatever he wants, and then we could
roll it into the Cowboys game at five thirty with
Cowboys Cake. I don't know it's an in the theater.
I'm just telling you the Cowboys game is not a
priority to him, so we'll see how that plays out.
(33:32):
That's tough is Jags and Chiefs. That shouldn't be much
of a game, but you've been wrong before. It looks
like Kansas City's eight and a half. Uh. Giants and Eagles. Again,
it shouldn't be much of a game, but you never know.
And Daniel Jones is playing really well and Jalen Hurts?
(33:56):
How healthy is he? He had a week off, but
what does that even mean? Um Philly's seven and a
half point favorite. That's a lot, it is, especially not
knowing the Jalen Hurt situation. Bengals and Bills that I mean,
that's gonna be a close one. The Sunday games are
the better two games, Bengals and Bills. Buffalo is a
five point favorite. It is in Buffalo, and I wouldn't
(34:20):
be surprised at the Bengals. I expect the Bills to win,
but I wouldn't be surprised if the Bengals win that
just because I just believe in Burrow for some reason.
I guess that's some reason last year. Yeah. Um, and
then Cowboys and forty nine or San Francisco is a
four point favorite right now, and they should be. They
got a little extra time going to the beach, had
a vacations with doctatraz I needed Cowboys to win again. Okay,
(34:47):
so great week of NFL. I think this week I'm
gonna do my I'm gonna start calling it the pinky
promise better the week. I've never heard that before, and
everybody's gotten like their locks, they're die hard. I need
pinky promise. So we're gonna start calling that. So we're
gonna do that. Jim Harball is gonna stay at Michigan. Now,
(35:08):
this is what I hear, because he did this last
year too. What I hear is no team wanted to
hire him. That's what. I don't know that that's true,
but all this interest want to be happening, and then
him just pulling out again. He knows if he wants,
he knows to go the NFL or not, and then
he's interviewing the teams or teams, but then all the
sud he's like, no, never mind, I'm not really interested
in anymore. But you were forty five days ago, even
(35:32):
before the playoff, we had heard that was probably gonna
be his last year. But now all of a sudden
he's like, I'm gonna come back for a ninth season.
That doesn't just change because he put on a Michigan
sweater and go, this fits great. You know, it reminds
me how much I love it here. Either a team
wasn't willing to give him what he wanted money wise,
or they were like, what we're doing here, this isn't
(35:54):
conducive to how you do it in us doing it together.
So he he that's good for Michigan. Good for Michigan.
Um anything else. That Georgia player that died in the
car wreck, awful. I didn't see that. And the uh
woman on the recruiting on the the recruiting crew staff,
(36:15):
they were together in the car right. Yeah. The alb
Ahead Kevin just after their parade that they celebrated the championship. Yep, gosh,
it's terribly tragic. The Alabama basketball player who was arrested
for murder on Blue that was wild. I saw that.
I was like, what same, And I thought, Okay, did
you really even play or was he like you, No,
(36:36):
he was averaging like a point in a half. And
I know, we just look at these athletes and like, oh, yeah,
you know, they're they're they're they're just athletes. They're busy,
they're they're practicing and whatever. But no, but they have
real lives and personal lives not the same. But like
the kicker, he didn't kill anybody. But it's like, we
don't know what's happening or why he's affected. Yeah, he was.
(36:58):
He was on the bench for Alabamas gay in that
day he heard an ankle injury, though he said he
was out like a day before. I don't I honestly
think he did have an ankle injury. Yeah, and it
just but anyway doesn't matter. He is going to jail now, yeah, yeah,
for the rest of his life most likely and proven
(37:18):
guilty obviously, but it is Yeah, and think about the girl,
her family and that sucks. Um And that's I think
that's all I had, Mike, anything is it? Well, come
up with something real quick here, guys, Uh, what's your
thought of the thought of the week? Here's Monday shows
with us, but also Tuesday because we had a holiday yesterday.
(37:42):
But it's also us. We just come on and we
don't I don't really make a list of stuff, and
we just talked about the games and have a recap
because we build all up to it and then we
don't talk about what happened. I always feel like we
aren't really closing it before we get back into the
next week. So into the into the show message Eddie,
I just have a little bit to keep his space
at all. Man, I'm just still on last night's game
(38:04):
and I worry about I'm thinking about, you know, the
injury late last in the game. I think it's a
is it was it Cage and Gauge that got hurt.
I don't know an update on him or whatever, but man,
there's definitely a difference since since Hamlin. You know, when
like someone gets hurt and everyone just starts worrying all
of a sudden. I mean, this is if it I
(38:26):
don't think it was as serious as you know, as
we thought it was when it happened. But something's gonna
have to change, you know. If like this is just
happening over and over, it's really scary. And I think
a lot of players are changing the way they play
as well because of it. Like I don't know Trayvon
Diggs is scared or what, but I mean it's like
he didn't want to tackle yesterday. It's almost like some
(38:47):
of these like defensive backs don't even want to get
aggressive because they're scared or what. You know, it makes
sense if you're bigger, faster, and stronger and you keep
colliding into each other when you're bigger and you're faster
and you're stronger, that there are going to be more
people hurt worse. But it also makes sense the rules
(39:07):
and if I was trying to put in place and
people are like, looks have football. Look it used to
be you can't do that. But no, no, no, but
hold on, Eddie earlier on this same show, I get it.
You lectured me. I have Football's football that that was
before tomor Hamlin. You know what, And it's changed. It's
changed because and even dude, even when I saw the
promo for the Pro Bowl, I'm like, I like that
they're doing flag football and what two weeks ago, like
(39:29):
this is stupid? Who wants to see flag football? Tomor
Hamlin really changed my whole perspective on all that. Guys
are getting a lot. You're seeing guys that are to nine,
run four four or five forties. What do you think
is going to happen when they slam into somebody when
that person is not fully ready. Yeah, they're bigger and
stronger to that person, but it's all if you're ready
for it. So yes, that's I mean. I think the
(39:55):
crowd cheered and he got up and he rolled out,
So I too was worried. Everybody was on the field.
Paul Brons give me the whole Bucks team and then
half of the Cowboys team just stayed out there. But yeah,
that's scary, but I might just see. I would assume
that he's okay if there was no story. Yeah, they
posted on Twitter recently they said he's like moving all
of the extremities. He's good to go, and he's in
(40:16):
the hospital still, but he's gonna be all right, all right, Kevin.
Mine was a storyline off the field a little bit.
But during the games, was these announcers this weekend the
Saturday night game was was it al Michael's or in
Tony Dungee. You know, it's a crazy game, crazy comeback
and it was a snooze fest to them. They're like, yeah,
here comes to the jugs. Yeah, he doesn't have a
(40:36):
lot of energy. Met him super nice. That doesn't have
a lot of energy, And now my was kind of
been checked out all the year right Thursday night games.
And then the other one is Tony Romo. Man, I
know he's your boy, but that guy just doesn't stop
talking sometimes and I'm like, Romo, you don't have to
always talk, but it's what makes them him. And then
Sunday Night was a great one. Tariko with that game
was awesome. So it's just the ebbs and flows of
announcing this weekend was was a good one for me.
(40:58):
And you couldn't check out real because of well we
saw come back early with a Jags and Chargers and
we've just seen one a few weeks prior with the
Vikings and the Colts and Tom Braid. It just you
couldn't check out because even if they got out of hand,
you were like, well we've already seen this art this happened.
(41:19):
So that was that was fun mine. The Ravens are gone,
and I think of Lamar plays it's probably a bit different.
I think also people like, well they didn't want no
since I would have played. The defense would have been
different too. But he had to get on Twitter and
say no, look guys, this is my PCL. This is
now hurt it. This is why I can't. Like he
had to kind of come out and defend himself a
(41:39):
little bit, and that's an interesting situation. I think they'll
pay him. I think he'll get what he wants. I
don't blame him for not playing, No, it's for I
think people have this romantic idea of football still where
it's like you go and you play for your team
and it's all your boys, and that's all good until
you're hurt and you can't make any money in your
career doing what you spent your whole life training for.
(42:01):
It's like Knick Smithews playing for Arkansas right now. Basketball
number one recruits the end of the year last year,
like hadn't ready number one. He comes, you know, top
five NBA draft pick, is a freshman, but he's got
a knee problem all you know, and people are like,
why don't you come back and just fight for the team.
It's like, bro, you only say this because it ain't
you if that knee issue could possibly cost you millions
(42:23):
of dollars if you don't get it right. You know,
this is the like this is his his life long
career money maker, pretty short window to be an athlete.
Money that can change his family, his family's next generation,
his family's next generation. And you're gonna be like, you're
only playing one year anyway, you need to come and
worry about hurting it forever to play for the art. No,
(42:47):
you don't take care of you, because you would take
care of you, but you're the one complained by him.
It's easier for you to say yes. So you know,
I felt that, Lamar, I do. If you're really hurt
and you couldn't play great, or if you're kind of hurting,
you thought, well, this is gonna hurt me. Because it's
a business. These owners, it's a business. Everything's a business.
(43:09):
Sometimes it's romantic because our teams and we put a
lot of passion and pride into it, and they do
too to a point. But it's a business. So we
got to remember that. And let's take it easy on
the quarterbacks. I guess see who the favorite is to
land him if he leaves there? Uh, no Patriots that Vegas? Really,
what are they going to Vegas? No? Vegas? That Vegas
(43:31):
is not the Patriots. All right, that's it. Thank you guys.
We'll see you Friday. By everybody,
This is a podcast called twenty five whistle Talking Podball
and they war to whist So yes, but what did
you expect? It's a podcast called twenty five Whistles presented
by Draft Kings Sports Book, an official sports betting partner
of the NFL. Download the Draft Kings app and use
(00:25):
the code Bobby sports to get in the action. How
about have got boys? Come on? You know we're gonna
lead with that. We also see Kevin in a Cowboys jersey, sir,
and people have been asking you all about it, like, hey,
congrats man, good game, good game. Yeah. Yeah, we've had
a few people in today. Hey I love the jersey. Yeah,
America's team Cowboys. Number four. Who is that? What do
(00:47):
you mean? That's Dak Dak attack he wears four. Yeah,
he's number four. I haven't been a diehard fan that long.
Just this year. I guess I really don't know anybo
I haven't known people's numbers, and I as a kid,
meaning really all of them when I was a kid.
But I guess I don't pay attention. I don't even
what numbers. Brady twelve, I knew that, t That's easy, man.
(01:09):
I just don't remember people's numbers, what's my homes? No idea? Really,
that's a tough one for me. It's like, I can't name.
Give me somebody really famous. Davante Adams. He's got to
be in the eighties, so I would go eight one
Davante a single number? What is he? Okay, dude, that's crazy.
(01:35):
It's crazy that I don't know one's number. Aaron Rodgers
and that was I think only is Die went TWI
and I jumped out just literally just followed you, well
what And we can go through a lot of this stuff,
but let's start with Tom Brady for a second, because
I want to get the Cowboys in a second. I
think it's aid a second twice. But where does Tom
(01:56):
Brady play next year? Does he want to play next year?
That could be an option. I mean I don't I
say yes, I think he plays. I think he goes
one more year, and I think he announces it as
he's gonna go one more year, like this is my
last year. And I think he probably Rodgers has us
a little bit, and we wonder and maybe he's wondering,
(02:19):
maybe he tries to get back with Jael. I don't
know what the situation is it's interesting, but are they
they're divorced. But and there's got to be something more
than just him playing football. Yeah, because it could be Okay,
he plays football, it's not just him playing football. But
maybe it's the fact that he alienated everything else in
(02:40):
his life for many months at a time. Might he
played football and if he says this is my life,
I don't know. I just think if I were betting now,
I would bet he comes back for one more year.
But then we can talk about where we think he goes.
First of all, does he come back? Yes? Or no? Eddie,
he does not come back. From watching him walk off
the field, I mean, dude, I don't like Tom. I've
never been to Tom Brady fan and mostly hater because
(03:01):
he was so good. Um, I respected him as being
the goat. Absolutely, he's definitely one of the greatest quarterback.
That's that we've seen him play for sure. So I
don't like him. But I felt bad for him yesterday.
I mean, he just looked like complete crap. It looked
like the old man was getting older and it's time.
It was almost like Joe Montana when he went to
the Chiefs, like, oh man, he should have quit last year.
(03:24):
Yes he did when that slide. Yes, yes, it's a
bad slide, not a good look. I still think though,
he performed that way because of how the people were
performing around him. For example, that ball he threw to
Evans near the end of the game on a lot, Yeah,
right into his fingertips and drops it like they didn't
(03:47):
throw deep a lot because he doesn't have time to
throw deep a lot. And if you can't run the ball,
you can't run play action. That's really what Brady is
effective and very efficient doing. So I do think Brady
is still a top fifteen quarterback he in the past.
Julio Jones and the end zone, I mean that was beautiful.
I think physically still the top ten to fifteen quarterback. Mentally,
(04:09):
still probably the best. So I think he comes back,
but only if he can be on a team that
has a good offensive line and depth. Because death got
him this year. I mean they didn't have old line.
I mean sec of the season where they had more
than like three guys starting at one time, and then
(04:32):
one of those would go down, this TB would come
back and it was just him going in. Yes, but
I agree with you, he did look bad last night,
But any quarterback is gonna look bad if they if
they're not given the time to look good. And it's
not like he has the physical tools to go Barry Sanders,
where you may have a bad old line, but you're
still so good that you can sometimes navigate around that.
(04:53):
He was kind of playing out of fear too for
most of the game. I felt like he just saw
so much pressure coming after relentless flying around early on too,
because the Cowboys, I think their first two possessions they
go to and they went, both of them did, and
then he was like, well, well that was my point,
Like the Cowboys went three and out. Then I was like, okay,
well here here go the stupid the Bucks about to
(05:15):
Oh wow, Okay. Cowboys were on it, making tackles behind
the line, hitting hard, and it happened twice in If
I were Brady too, I'd be like, God, damg man,
these guys are coming at me like crazy. Ye. So,
but I think if the right situation, I think he
comes back and he goes now Kevin, I think he
does too, But yes, for the perfect situation, whether it's
in Vegas, but he knows he has a run game
(05:37):
and a defense when he threw it sixty six times.
That's insane. A defense is That's That's a great point too,
because I never factor in as a quarterback for the
defense being able to give you a shot to That's
a great point that you need a good defense so
you're not always playing from behind as well. It's almost
like it's got to be the Niners or no, I
want to say Vegas, but the Niners are just so
(05:58):
set up for success with run game in the old
line in the defense. It's almost like if he either
goes there or nowhere, Mike, I don't think so. He
could be forty six. He didn't look good. He'll be
forty six next year. Yeah, going into the season. But
I didn't realize he's that old. Yeah, he's so good looking.
I mean he does take When he was walking in
(06:19):
like he was, it was just like I didn't even
use this term a lot, but it was like Pierce
Whack and he's got good hair. I mean it's just
like right, like it's like everything and I never felt
more dt off watching TV. So we're I'm gonna go.
He comes back and goes this is my final year.
He declares it. He loves spotlight obviously he deserves it.
(06:41):
He learns it, yea, and so he says it because
he also wants the This is his final year, and
I think I'll look at let's take a draft kings
odds here plus two hundred of the Bucks still the favorite,
but bear like he stays plus two fifty to the Raiders,
plus three fifty to the Niners. The one that I
(07:03):
like its plus seven fifty the Patriots, because what a
fun story that would be if you going back to
the back Kevin, Do you guys feel like you have
enough of not not to bring him back? You know?
I mean I would love it what I'm saying, Do
you haven't? Do you have enough weapons in the old
arsenal to be able to make him feel like he's
gonna go up? Have a defense, having offensive line? No,
I feel like. I mean, our defense was good, but
our old line was kind of you know, up and down,
(07:24):
and then our weapons. I mean, come on, our number
one receiver was Jacoby Myers. Davante Parker miss half the season,
so he's going from Mike Evans. If you can't get
it done with those guys running games better, but I
don't think it'll come back. Plus nine hundred of the
Jets and the Giants. But I'm telling you what ain't
going to the Giants? Oh Dandy dives. I mean that's
giants are set now. They didn't even give him his
(07:46):
fifth year option, and now they got to pay him.
He looks great. You don't know if found interesting. Did
you see Dable's comments after where they're like, do you
think you did good? He's like, yeah, they did good.
I kind of shrugged it off. I was just wondering
if that's like the owners saying, hey, I still got
a wholesome leverage here. Don't pump him off too much.
I mean, if you don't want a whole leverage, he'll
go and and make a bunch of money somewhere else. I
don't feel like they have the now that he's wont
(08:07):
to playoff game too now that Jones, that Vikings victory
was him going, well, they're already gonna resign me, and
now they have to resign me and they have to
pay me even more. He also what he runs for
seventy and through for three hundred, Yeah, and look great
doing it. He was so legit. He's a big guy.
He could run. He's I mean, first year in this
(08:30):
system and now he knows the system. C kwon. Oh dad,
they were shooting Sakewan out of a cannon because that defense,
the Minnesota defense was happened to also watch for Jones
to run. They've also I mean for a team with
no wide receivers, yeah, they got no one. Can you
imagine giving him a weapon out there too? Is it
(08:52):
is awesome? Is it? What a weekend? What a weekend
for games? Okay, Cowboys first, Eddie, Mike, your thoughts watching
the Cowboys dominate last night? Oh my gosh, I loved it.
I'm on cloud nine still. I mean you're watching a team,
you know, just that played terribly last week and then
play like this. I mean they were firing from all cylinders, dude,
I mean Dac was on point. I mean he was.
(09:13):
He was just hitting every single target. The defense was great.
There was some like you know, our kicker obviously is
like that was like that. It was so weird that
it was just weird, Like, yes, that's a great word.
It was so weird that I don't even feel like
he's a bad kicker and should be cut because something
was happening that made it that weird. It's like when
we play golf and you're like, how do I keep
shanking it straight? Right? Like I played golf my whole life,
(09:36):
Like how does this happen? He could not straighten that
ball out to save his life. Now what do you do?
So so they did go take a shot at like
Jerry Jones when this was happening, and you just see
him like his he was like grabbing his head like
what is going on? What do you do in that scenario?
Like as an owner, as a coach, like what do
you do with him? Do you just kind of like say, hey,
(09:58):
it's all right, it happens. Good thing he won the game.
But do you just work with him some more? Or
I think if you're going to keep him, you really
don't do anything because it's just gonna further f his
head up. You know, I think he's been a really
good kicker off season, he's been great. I think he
missed one inside of fifty, uh, and then he missed
four extra points. What you worry about is and maybe
(10:21):
you don't worry, but I would just want to go
back and see how many kicks he's made with adversity
or how many kicks he's made with pressure. But There
wasn't even pressure except for it being a playoff, right,
That's that's pressure that it's But it's a playoff game, right,
it's elevated. I just think something was up that was
so weird that I still trust him because I don't
(10:42):
think it was a trust. Although they were gonna go
and kick a field goal last night and they pulled
that fourth and yeah, he was running out in the
field and they were like no, no, no, and I wondered,
what they have still gone for it anyway. It was
a situation where maybe they go for it anyway and
they pulled them back. I think they had to go
for it at that point. When he made that that
fifth extra point, do you see everybody jump like, here's
(11:03):
the thing. Show it on TV. Though, like they missed
the kick completely when he kicked it. This was the
last I'm sorry, this is the last extra point. They
missed him like, guys, maybe that was it. Let's not
show it at all. And he made it no problem.
I wouldn't cut him. He's too good of a kicker.
It was a bad night. But then I start to go,
give an example. We could, uh, let's do a comedy
(11:25):
show where I'm doing a big comedy show. We got
a theater, I've sold out. I'm gonna fly into UM
Albuquerque and it's two thousand, three thousand people and I'm
super pumped. A big night for me, a big night
for everybody else. And I have diarrhea. Nobody knows that.
But I gotta not go out there and perform even
though of diarrhea, and I'm having to like a been
(11:49):
ahold of my tongue. Let's say when I was in
Vegas but a whole almost took my tongue. I never
really want to say anything about it then, but I couldn't,
so I made a video about it. But let's say
I just try to go. I would have been physically
mentally treating everything differently because something that was happening that
nobody knewnything about. Yeah, but if I was Brett Maher,
I would be like, hey, guys, can I do a
pre game interview? I gotta tell everyone I have diarrhea,
(12:10):
because because suck I want to be there. They're gonna
be like, yes, well, we expected that he came out
and said he had diary. We get to the reporter
in the pregame, Hey make sure you throw this out
there before the game. And I'm probably wrong on my
point with that is we don't we don't know. We
we feel like because they're on TV and they're playing
in front of thousands and then millions people watching, we
feel like everything's gonna be perfect internally with them externally
(12:31):
in their lives. Get it. It could be anything, And
to me, it has to be something because he just
has not done anything like that ever. But you're right,
that first one I missed, I was like, dang. The
second one missed, I was like, this is the fourth,
the one that hit the top of the apparently went
over the ye wasn't it four? That was four? Four
in a row. I'm even questioned now that there was four.
(12:53):
I was like, maybe it was. It was. It was
two to the right, one of the left, one over.
He had to be like it was you know, he
had to say to a holder, if they just know
how diarrhea? Right? But see, Okay, So the rest of
the team they showed shots and I'm like, hey, did
you're good? You're good? Pat on the helmet, and then
Dad after the fourth and miss He's just like, what
the happening? Yeah, he's going on. I bet Dad wishes
(13:14):
he wouldn't have done that night. No, right, Yeah, by
the way, where's ready, where's bready gonna play me? Yeah?
I like the Niners. If you have to pick somebody,
he's from, he's from California, like, and that's really homecoming Vegas, Mike,
I say Vegas. Does he like Josh McDaniels enough to
go back to Vegas? They're already gether for a long time.
(13:38):
I'm gonna go with the Bucks one more run? Okay? Uh?
Cowboys when you're still in Cloud nine? Oh my gosh.
I mean, I mean after watching them last last night
and just how they played, I mean, how can you
not be so pumped? I mean, yes, we go to
San Francisco next they eight and nine Bucks team. Yeah, sure,
I get it. But it's Tom Brady's what everyone said.
(13:59):
It's Tom Brady. He gets in the playoffs, Mr playoffs
and I love but they're not. You're you're doing his
voice like, oh that people are wrong. No, he's won
more than anybody else, so he they people should feel that. No,
I get it, but we proved everyone wrong and we
broke we broke the streak, so boom, we don't we
don't crumble in the playoffs. You haven't won a playoff games.
It's like I think I was screaming out of my mom.
(14:20):
I'll tell you. I'll tell you when yesterday. Yeah, let's
just reminder. Twenty five whistles brought to you by Dragging
Sports Book, an official sports betting partner of the NFL.
Download the Draft Kings app and use the code Bobby
sports to get in on the action. I let you
guys pick the parlay. I thought we were gonna hit
it too. I was feeling good forty minus eight and
(14:40):
a half the Seahawks. I wasn't feeling good about that
one till late the Jags plus there in a half
of the Chargers as a win and the Vikings minus
two the Giants as a loss. So I don't take
any responsibility for this one. Good You shouldn't. It was
a team effort because it was two and one into
three parlay. But if I had picked him, it had
been one too. But still, I'll tell you, I suck
(15:01):
a pick in an NFL game in college, I feel great,
But NFL, man, that's hard, man, Yeah, it is hard.
So whistles, you want to take the parlay next week?
Thought I feel good about it. Hey, I'm ready for
next week. I've been just having doing a little ACTRA studying.
I feel good. New users use the code Bobby sports
weing to download the app twenty one and most eligible states,
but age varies by jurisdiction, eligibility retrictions. Supply gambling problem
(15:24):
called gambler in New York called eight seven seven eight
hoping why or text hoping why four six seven three
six nine. See show notes for full details. So the
Cowboys are having to go players though, two days less
rest in San Francisco. That's a disadvantage, you know, the TV,
the fact that the Cowboys and Tom Brady are so
(15:44):
marketable that is gonna cost the Cowboys two days of
rest in preparation, The fact that people wanted to watch
that game so much they wanted to move to Monday night.
I still think the NFL, knowing that that was probably
gonna be the case, should have put on a Sunday night,
just because that is such an unfair advantage. And even
think about that, it's like you're being punished for how
(16:05):
popular you are. That's what happened with the Cowboys. That's
what happened because people want to watch the Cowboys versus
Tom Brady for many reasons. Cowboys have one forever, Jerry Jones,
America's team. Can they break the streak? Can? Can Tom
Brady win? Can? So you're gonna go on the biggest night,
Monday Night. We are going to put your populatory in
(16:26):
the fact that you'll drive millions of millions of people
on Monday Night, which, by the way, if you win, though,
you gotta flip around real quick and go play the
forty niners in San Francisco and with limited rest in preparation.
That sucks. And they played so hard too. I mean,
you know, like you have a few players go down
(16:47):
a couple of times and it's like, oh, man, like
you want to take him out and you want to
rest him, but you can't. You're playing Tom Brady. You
can't do that. And I felt like they played their
hardest halftime. Right at halftime. I thought when Parsons came
up kind of limping, I was like, oh, this sucks. This'
is it? Cowboy friend? I have been for like I
don't know, three months. We're Jerry's guys, you know, Yeah,
(17:09):
of course I made a bigger bet. I made the
biggest bet I've ever made on a football game last night,
and you're not in our Cowboys group thread, Kevin, because
we're all Cowboy die hards in that group thread. Yeah,
I figured. Yet it's called what's our group called the name?
It's called Sinko Cowboys amigos. So it's five Cowboys friends, Okay, alrighty, yeah,
we can't change up to six. Sorry, quadra Sinko, Sinko.
(17:32):
What's Spanish for cowboys? Why isn't it seagulls? And easy?
We can change that right now, right, let's do it.
So it was in and you know, I've been doing
pretty good. I kind of bet I kind of bet
bet the whole load just about. I bet it was
a big old load. I bet bucks on the Cowboys
(17:53):
to win, just straight up with yeah, I don't want
to play with that three and so hindsight, you know, like, oh,
shout out of that. But yeah, yeah, So in the end,
I know, listen, my butt was pucker one. Brady scored
the touchdown. I was like, oh god, they missed the
two point. I was like, oh, but unclinched a little
bit that ball to Mike Evans when I saw him
(18:14):
he had he Yeah, and so my butt clinched again.
Then unpucker, it's tired. The end of the night. I
just kept puckering an unpuck around all night long. Um
so let me see what I want here on that?
Because six, so I put the winnings for the year
(18:39):
up and hit that's good. We like that, Yeah, we
like that. And then did you want on your the
other league? Two? Are you still going with that because
you have the Cowboys winning? I did, But so here's
the deal at the Chargers to those are my two teams. Yeah,
we can talk about this stupid game on the mental.
But yeah, so let me see what. I didn't gain
(19:02):
a whole bunch because everybody else won games two that
had to pay in a little bit. Let me see
if they've updated it. Yes, but yes, I don't think
Cowboys and it should have taken. It's worth five bucks.
But all those other games that other people won I
had to pay a hundred bucks in, So I don't
think that I'm made that much. If anything, I'm gonna
pull it up here. Nope, I actually lost money. Maybe
(19:23):
they're gonna how many games Cowboys won? They went twelve
before last night. Okay, so I'm gonna win one more,
so I'm gonna be at mine. But then you won. Nope,
that's right now it says minus thirty but the twenty eight.
But but I'm still in it to hopefully move that
need a little bit the next round against that sucks man.
(19:46):
I got so easy, come easy, go both spots. They
did that more. I guess next week. That's it. That's
the answer. Every time I was chasing a little bit too.
I'm being honest because I bet I got him out
in Arkansas to win, not near that near, And I
(20:08):
was like, you know why, I'm gonna go the game
fun And they got they lost, and I was like,
you know, I was gonna already bet substantial on that
one anyway, and I have it because I'm up. I
would never bet money if I was gonna get in
trouble um. But I was chasing. I was a mildly chasing. Hey,
I caught it in't Chargers Jaguars. I'm gonna tell you this,
(20:28):
this is a decision that I made midgame. I thought
it was a strategic one. Game starts Trevor Lawrence pick
touchdown Chargers, Trevor Lawrence pick Charger score touchdown around that time.
It wasn't exactly like that, but it's over at halftime
and I don't want to use up all my currency
(20:49):
of just sitting watching football. So I thought, I'm gonna
go hang out with Caitlin so I can then use
some of that time later. Oh yeah, different games, and
I go, hey, this game's out. I was honest with her.
Does its games over? So let's go do something. Let's
go because I don't need to watch the second half
(21:10):
of this game. We go, get a smoothie, you go
to coffee, plays do something. And she's like, oh cool,
she go was cool, cool, because that probably means you
want to watch another game. Yes, yes, it's absolutely all.
And so she gets it. She knows I'm coming and
what I'm coming with, and so she's like cool, cool, cool,
And so I don't know if she goes and put
the clothes on, Like it's like thirty forty five minutes
we're planning to leave. I was gonna go watch the
(21:32):
Dogs and we're about to go, and all of a sudden,
the Jaguars start coming back, and so I'm like, I
gotta watch this game, and so I set it up
and then I cancel it, which is not good. I
should have just watched the game because it's even worse.
I made her get ready now I gotta watch the
game too, and so then and then they lose. And
(21:54):
so it's not that I'm a huge Charger fan, but
I bet on them. What an epic collapse. I saw
Charges fire the ROC this morning. I guess that means
they're not firing Staley. Then if they're going to fire
those guys, they must not be fired because they would
have led with that. Yeah, I guess. So it was
their defense. Everything went wrong. They did everything wrong in
(22:18):
that second half, meaning they played they were not aggressive
at all, so passive, just trying to hold off. And
Trevor Lawrence like he's now here. That was his I'm
here a game, the Titans game at the end of
the year to go. We're gonna make it the playoffs.
That's like, all right, we think this was a successful season.
(22:38):
We think Trevor Lawrence can be something. Now. He was
a little rough early, but okay, he just want a
game that matter. Sure Titans weren't, but it's just about
winning the game. He is now after going deep into
the tunnel with four picks. The fact that he was
able to come back and then throw four touchdowns and
win that game and look that good. He's here now. Yeah,
(23:01):
he's not on the Mahomes level, but I think he's now.
If Mahomes and Josh Allen are in the A group,
Joe Burrow probably in the A minus group, but they're
all up in that tier. I think now Trevor Lawrences
in the B group. And credit to Doug Peterson too.
There's the reason he wanted Super Bowl. Yeah, you could
just tell there. He's been there and Staley hasn't. Do
you guys feel like Lawrence is now in the bottom
of that B group? Yes? Absolutely? Yeah. Back half of
(23:23):
the season, the last couple of games. Yeah, and this playoff,
especially this playoff game and the pressure is on. He
played horribly. Didn't let it really affect him, didn't He
didn't drag his daughter because of it. He got out
freaking won the game. Is Herbert out of that B group? No?
I still think he's in the B group? Yeah. I
mean he still scored seven. They still score. I don't
(23:46):
put it all on Herbert. No, the defense don't let
him scored twenty points a second half. That's all you
gotta do. But I do. I put it more on
the offensive coordinator, which the fired up because they were
they they were doing things that they don't normally do
on offense just to try to be conservative. That's not
(24:07):
when you do that. I mean, I get it, but
if you're doing it first, but once you're they scored
two touchdowns, you gotta kind of open it back up.
And they didn't. Yeah, it was almost like they were
just playing. And that's okay at first, but then when
you realize you might lose, you gotta then play to win,
because I'd probably come out up seven and play not
to lose for a while until they've actually gone, oh crap,
(24:30):
they've just uh now they've they've they've outsmart at us.
Now we have to not have to switch our style
because they switched theirs as bad. I saw an interesting
tweet this morning too, or somebody I can remember who
it said, but they said that the Cowboys played, you know,
with the big lead, they played smart every time. They
try to stay in bounds, and they would try to
run that clock as much as they could, and they
work somewhat aggressive even though they didn't have to be.
(24:51):
They still threw the ball a little bit when they didn't.
Usually you would just run it and try to run
the clock and hope to God your But the Cowboys did.
I won't say put their foot all the way into gas,
but they didn't, just put it in neutral. And you
gotta love you gotta love it because easily you can
throw a pick, something can go wrong. But they did
and they stuck with it. It's good. I like tom
(25:11):
big Cowboy fans there are I like that Jery Tomorrow.
You gotta keep that all week. I thought it was
one day all week, and if they beat the forty niners,
you have to wear it for the rest of the
tattoo star in your face. Um, okay, just we'll just
quickly roll down some of these. We talked about Charges
and Jaguars. I mean we saw two of the biggest
(25:33):
comebacks ever in the last few weeks with the Vikings
coming back over the Colts and then the Jaguars over
the Chargers. I mean that's two of the biggest ones
ever this year. Is this going to be more of
a standard thing because offenses are they can score so quickly,
and so are they gonna our teams that are up
a lot gonna have to change being conservative now because
(25:57):
teams can score so quickly, like this may change how
second halfs are done. If you're up four touchdowns, usually
you would come out and just run the ball, run
the clock, run the clock. Because offenses weren't able to
score like they are now. Quarterbacks weren't able to But
now that they can, maybe this does shift a little
bit where teams don't have to work. They don't let
me say this, they don't. They're not good sportsman, and
(26:18):
so we're not gonna run it up. Maybe they have to.
Maybe they feel like, now we got to go and
be at forty before we stop because teams can score
so much. And coach would be like, you know, there's
no need to run it up. Well, maybe it's not
called running it up anymore. Maybe it's just making sure
it's safe the deal. I wonder if we see that
the fort and Seahawks is a good game. It really was.
Until late the second half. I couldn't believe that the
(26:40):
Seahawks were playing that close. It was awesome, and I
was like, maybe they're gonna do No, they're not. Like
as soon as I started to think, well they could
never mind, I totally bit on the genos story, and
I thought, I mean, I thought that he had a
legit chance. And now I don't think you've been on it.
I think it was awesome. That's It's one of the
greatest seasons in my mind for if you're a Seahawks fan,
because when you come and you think it's gonna be
(27:01):
awful and then it ends up being a little more
than pretty good but not exactly really good, like that
net gain is awesome. When you're expected to be great
and you do great, it's still fun, but you had
the expectation and it was disappointment. If you don't, this
is all wins. Sure, it's a little dis appointing and
lost the game, But man, you're a Seahawks fan going
into the season, it was like, who's gonna be the quarterback?
(27:23):
This guy that wasn't good enough to start, or this
guy that wasn't good enough to start. It's awesome. I
haven't heard Drew Luck's name all year exactly. What was
a quarterback competition ends up being one guy who's not
gonna get paid if not there somewhere the Dolphins and
the Bills, you know what, go back. All the Dolphins
were gonna do it. Well, I thought the Dolphins were
(27:46):
gonna be in, and they were. I guess I always
felt like the Bills, we're gonna figure out way to
pull it out. But two interceptions and a fumble recovery
you do that, the odds of you winning aren't very good, Skyler.
Skyler Thompson also looked he was throwing the ball with
some zip. Yeah, he was slinging it. Yeah, and he
(28:07):
had confident and almost it wasn't reckless, but he had
nothing to lose. That's what it looked like. He had
nothing to lose. He's just throwing it. And good for him,
because you got to think that there was so much
pressure going into that game for that dude, like this
is it, this is your shot. You're going in the
first playoff game, like this is your first play and
this is your first game and it's a playoff game.
(28:28):
They need you. Well, he started another game, But you're right.
I completely agree with you. I think his showing was
solid though. I think he now has the job as
a backup somewhere, even if it's not Miami. I think
he can go be a pretty good backup quarterback. Would
you guys agree with that? I don't think he's a
starter anywhere. Giants beat the Viking started, won twenty four
(28:49):
Daniel Jones three yards, two touchdowns, ran for almost eighty
It was not Kirk cousins fault. They lost the game.
Kirk Cousins actually played pretty well last play the games
that I remembers when he throws it to talk, you know,
t J. Hawkinson five yards when they needed way more
than that. That's what we're gonna remember. But Kirk Cousins actually,
(29:11):
and I don't know his line played pretty well. I
never watched and thought, what, there's Cousins sucking again, but
prime time Kirk got him bit him in the butt
at the end of the game. But no, no, I
thought the Giants would win. I think we all did.
But then once they started playing, You're like, I don't know.
Is I an idiot? That's what I was like. I
was like, I don't know. The Vikings do look really good.
What are you gonna say, Kevin? Now, I was gonna say.
(29:33):
My thing is Jefferson was just nowhere to be seen.
Like even if he's double cover, I don't care. He's
the best. He's what top two three in the in
the league. Just throw it up to him. Maybe one. Well,
I don't know if I'm gonna be allowed throwing up,
but yeah, I'm just saying. But Kirk Cousins was yeah,
thirty one for thirty nine to seventy three with two touchdowns.
That's why. So it wasn't Cousins fault. That last taste
we got was of Cousins doing something really dumb though,
(29:54):
So that's what we're gonna remember if it was anybody else.
Not anybody else, but you know, because it's Cousins, it's Tez.

York called eight seven seven eight Hope and wire texts
Hoping y four six seven three six nine see show
notes for full details. Ravens and Bengals. The I just
(30:58):
saw it with the Arkansas Texas A and um, if
you're like over a half yard out, you shouldn't be
holding that ball and trying to extend that all over.
And I know you're a great athlete your whole life,
You've been a great athlete. You think you can do
it most times, you probably probably does work. But two
yards out, I guess I'm just so scared of that
because I saw K. J. Jefferson do at Texas and
M loss is the game. They knocked it out fumble
running back for a touchdown. The same thing that happened here.
(31:20):
That game completely flipped whenever who was it that ran
it back for Hubbard? Complete flip of the game when
that happened. Um, the Ravens surprising to me though, like
the clock management issues at the end of the game,
because hardball usually is pretty good about that. I think
everybody was surprised, like the time outs at the end. Um.
(31:43):
But the Bengals win, and it's just about winning at
this point. It's not about any sexy points. It's gonna
be good next week. I mean, I think that's all
the games, right, Cowboys books, what's game you're looking for? Eddie?
I know what you're gonna go ahead, I saw the
has to say it. You know what I'm gonna say.
The Cowboys and the Niners. Man, I mean, I just
(32:04):
cannot wait for that game. Just a little trick though.
It's my son's birthday. I mean, I don't know what.
Does he want to have a Cowboys party? I know, no,
he said he'd like to go to dinner, and I'm like,
what time? Because the games at five thirty? The game
is no, it's not it's on, yeah, Sunday at five thirty.
So either we're gonna have a late Saturday Saturday night.
(32:25):
Though I know I told him that because that's what
you should do. Aside, because that way you can go
later and have fun because it's not a school night.
He did say like, oh, I mean, I do want
to see the Cowboys game, but I don't know. I'll decide.
I'll decide, Dad. I'm like, oh my gosh, it better
be Cowboys game. What if Cowboys game? Or or he
could watch a movie in our theater nice during the
(32:48):
Cowboys game, or he can watch the Cowboys game in
the theater. We can have a party for him, right,
But whatever it is, I have to be with him.
I know what I'm saying, you guys. I'm not gonna
throw him in the theater. So he is. If we
have a I can I can ask Caitlin. But if
we have a small or we won't say small, but
we'll have a Cowboys birthday party for him in the
theater room. In the theater room he liked, thinks the
(33:11):
movie theaters awesome. He could watch a movie in the
afternoon over there, whatever he wants, and then we could
roll it into the Cowboys game at five thirty with
Cowboys Cake. I don't know it's an in the theater.
I'm just telling you the Cowboys game is not a
priority to him, so we'll see how that plays out.
(33:32):
That's tough is Jags and Chiefs. That shouldn't be much
of a game, but you've been wrong before. It looks
like Kansas City's eight and a half. Uh. Giants and Eagles. Again,
it shouldn't be much of a game, but you never know.
And Daniel Jones is playing really well and Jalen Hurts?
(33:56):
How healthy is he? He had a week off, but
what does that even mean? Um Philly's seven and a
half point favorite. That's a lot, it is, especially not
knowing the Jalen Hurt situation. Bengals and Bills that I mean,
that's gonna be a close one. The Sunday games are
the better two games, Bengals and Bills. Buffalo is a
five point favorite. It is in Buffalo, and I wouldn't
(34:20):
be surprised at the Bengals. I expect the Bills to win,
but I wouldn't be surprised if the Bengals win that
just because I just believe in Burrow for some reason.
I guess that's some reason last year. Yeah. Um, and
then Cowboys and forty nine or San Francisco is a
four point favorite right now, and they should be. They
got a little extra time going to the beach, had
a vacations with doctatraz I needed Cowboys to win again. Okay,
(34:47):
so great week of NFL. I think this week I'm
gonna do my I'm gonna start calling it the pinky
promise better the week. I've never heard that before, and
everybody's gotten like their locks, they're die hard. I need
pinky promise. So we're gonna start calling that. So we're
gonna do that. Jim Harball is gonna stay at Michigan. Now,
(35:08):
this is what I hear, because he did this last
year too. What I hear is no team wanted to
hire him. That's what. I don't know that that's true,
but all this interest want to be happening, and then
him just pulling out again. He knows if he wants,
he knows to go the NFL or not, and then
he's interviewing the teams or teams, but then all the
sud he's like, no, never mind, I'm not really interested
in anymore. But you were forty five days ago, even
(35:32):
before the playoff, we had heard that was probably gonna
be his last year. But now all of a sudden
he's like, I'm gonna come back for a ninth season.
That doesn't just change because he put on a Michigan
sweater and go, this fits great. You know, it reminds
me how much I love it here. Either a team
wasn't willing to give him what he wanted money wise,
or they were like, what we're doing here, this isn't
(35:54):
conducive to how you do it in us doing it together.
So he he that's good for Michigan. Good for Michigan.
Um anything else. That Georgia player that died in the
car wreck, awful. I didn't see that. And the uh
woman on the recruiting on the the recruiting crew staff,
(36:15):
they were together in the car right. Yeah. The alb
Ahead Kevin just after their parade that they celebrated the championship. Yep, gosh,
it's terribly tragic. The Alabama basketball player who was arrested
for murder on Blue that was wild. I saw that.
I was like, what same, And I thought, Okay, did
you really even play or was he like you, No,
(36:36):
he was averaging like a point in a half. And
I know, we just look at these athletes and like, oh, yeah,
you know, they're they're they're they're just athletes. They're busy,
they're they're practicing and whatever. But no, but they have
real lives and personal lives not the same. But like
the kicker, he didn't kill anybody. But it's like, we
don't know what's happening or why he's affected. Yeah, he was.
(36:58):
He was on the bench for Alabamas gay in that
day he heard an ankle injury, though he said he
was out like a day before. I don't I honestly
think he did have an ankle injury. Yeah, and it
just but anyway doesn't matter. He is going to jail now, yeah, yeah,
for the rest of his life most likely and proven
(37:18):
guilty obviously, but it is Yeah, and think about the girl,
her family and that sucks. Um And that's I think
that's all I had, Mike, anything is it? Well, come
up with something real quick here, guys, Uh, what's your
thought of the thought of the week? Here's Monday shows
with us, but also Tuesday because we had a holiday yesterday.
(37:42):
But it's also us. We just come on and we
don't I don't really make a list of stuff, and
we just talked about the games and have a recap
because we build all up to it and then we
don't talk about what happened. I always feel like we
aren't really closing it before we get back into the
next week. So into the into the show message Eddie,
I just have a little bit to keep his space
at all. Man, I'm just still on last night's game
(38:04):
and I worry about I'm thinking about, you know, the
injury late last in the game. I think it's a
is it was it Cage and Gauge that got hurt.
I don't know an update on him or whatever, but man,
there's definitely a difference since since Hamlin. You know, when
like someone gets hurt and everyone just starts worrying all
of a sudden. I mean, this is if it I
(38:26):
don't think it was as serious as you know, as
we thought it was when it happened. But something's gonna
have to change, you know. If like this is just
happening over and over, it's really scary. And I think
a lot of players are changing the way they play
as well because of it. Like I don't know Trayvon
Diggs is scared or what, but I mean it's like
he didn't want to tackle yesterday. It's almost like some
(38:47):
of these like defensive backs don't even want to get
aggressive because they're scared or what. You know, it makes
sense if you're bigger, faster, and stronger and you keep
colliding into each other when you're bigger and you're faster
and you're stronger, that there are going to be more
people hurt worse. But it also makes sense the rules
(39:07):
and if I was trying to put in place and
people are like, looks have football. Look it used to
be you can't do that. But no, no, no, but
hold on, Eddie earlier on this same show, I get it.
You lectured me. I have Football's football that that was
before tomor Hamlin. You know what, And it's changed. It's
changed because and even dude, even when I saw the
promo for the Pro Bowl, I'm like, I like that
they're doing flag football and what two weeks ago, like
(39:29):
this is stupid? Who wants to see flag football? Tomor
Hamlin really changed my whole perspective on all that. Guys
are getting a lot. You're seeing guys that are to nine,
run four four or five forties. What do you think
is going to happen when they slam into somebody when
that person is not fully ready. Yeah, they're bigger and
stronger to that person, but it's all if you're ready
for it. So yes, that's I mean. I think the
(39:55):
crowd cheered and he got up and he rolled out,
So I too was worried. Everybody was on the field.
Paul Brons give me the whole Bucks team and then
half of the Cowboys team just stayed out there. But yeah,
that's scary, but I might just see. I would assume
that he's okay if there was no story. Yeah, they
posted on Twitter recently they said he's like moving all
of the extremities. He's good to go, and he's in
(40:16):
the hospital still, but he's gonna be all right, all right, Kevin.
Mine was a storyline off the field a little bit.
But during the games, was these announcers this weekend the
Saturday night game was was it al Michael's or in
Tony Dungee. You know, it's a crazy game, crazy comeback
and it was a snooze fest to them. They're like, yeah,
here comes to the jugs. Yeah, he doesn't have a
(40:36):
lot of energy. Met him super nice. That doesn't have
a lot of energy, And now my was kind of
been checked out all the year right Thursday night games.
And then the other one is Tony Romo. Man, I
know he's your boy, but that guy just doesn't stop
talking sometimes and I'm like, Romo, you don't have to
always talk, but it's what makes them him. And then
Sunday Night was a great one. Tariko with that game
was awesome. So it's just the ebbs and flows of
announcing this weekend was was a good one for me.
(40:58):
And you couldn't check out real because of well we
saw come back early with a Jags and Chargers and
we've just seen one a few weeks prior with the
Vikings and the Colts and Tom Braid. It just you
couldn't check out because even if they got out of hand,
you were like, well we've already seen this art this happened.
(41:19):
So that was that was fun mine. The Ravens are gone,
and I think of Lamar plays it's probably a bit different.
I think also people like, well they didn't want no
since I would have played. The defense would have been
different too. But he had to get on Twitter and
say no, look guys, this is my PCL. This is
now hurt it. This is why I can't. Like he
had to kind of come out and defend himself a
(41:39):
little bit, and that's an interesting situation. I think they'll
pay him. I think he'll get what he wants. I
don't blame him for not playing, No, it's for I
think people have this romantic idea of football still where
it's like you go and you play for your team
and it's all your boys, and that's all good until
you're hurt and you can't make any money in your
career doing what you spent your whole life training for.
(42:01):
It's like Knick Smithews playing for Arkansas right now. Basketball
number one recruits the end of the year last year,
like hadn't ready number one. He comes, you know, top
five NBA draft pick, is a freshman, but he's got
a knee problem all you know, and people are like,
why don't you come back and just fight for the team.
It's like, bro, you only say this because it ain't
you if that knee issue could possibly cost you millions
(42:23):
of dollars if you don't get it right. You know,
this is the like this is his his life long
career money maker, pretty short window to be an athlete.
Money that can change his family, his family's next generation,
his family's next generation. And you're gonna be like, you're
only playing one year anyway, you need to come and
worry about hurting it forever to play for the art. No,
(42:47):
you don't take care of you, because you would take
care of you, but you're the one complained by him.
It's easier for you to say yes. So you know,
I felt that, Lamar, I do. If you're really hurt
and you couldn't play great, or if you're kind of hurting,
you thought, well, this is gonna hurt me. Because it's
a business. These owners, it's a business. Everything's a business.
(43:09):
Sometimes it's romantic because our teams and we put a
lot of passion and pride into it, and they do
too to a point. But it's a business. So we
got to remember that. And let's take it easy on
the quarterbacks. I guess see who the favorite is to
land him if he leaves there? Uh, no Patriots that Vegas? Really,
what are they going to Vegas? No? Vegas? That Vegas
(43:31):
is not the Patriots. All right, that's it. Thank you guys.
We'll see you Friday. By everybody,
