Speaker 1 (00:04):
Ten Takes is a production of the NFL in partnership
with iHeartRadio. Ten Takes. What a week? What a week?
I could do a show called one hundred Takes on
that week and that would be just on the early
(00:24):
window on Sunday, but it's called ten Takes. That's what
we agree to, that's what I deliver, and we do
it in exactly ten minutes. You click, it's time for
me to go to work. Take number one. Jane Daniels
is special. And I know that seems vanilla and obvious,
but let me explain what I mean. There are good
players in the NFL, and then there are great players,
(00:44):
but that's not it. There is a very exclusive club
of special players, and they're different, and there's something different
about their body language, the way they handle the game,
the way the ball bounces their way, maybe the way
they get calls sometimes, the way they can just will
things to happen. I could list for you right now
five or six great players in the NFL who I
(01:04):
don't think qualify as special. Great players. It's odd, maybe
even Hall of Fame players, but there's only a few.
When you watch them, you're like that guy stands out
amongst the great players, even above them. Jadene Daniels is
that I was not surprised at all when they completed
the Hill Mary at all. I didn't even blink. I
(01:26):
was watching that on a plane, which is a fun
experience if you're watching NFL Sunday on a plane. I
had the whole game going to NFL plus all that,
and I could when he completed the Hail Mary. There
was like five or six people on the plane who
screamed in front of me, behind me, on the other
side of the aisle. For me, they just screamed. I
didn't scream. I didn't even blink. I thought he was
gonna complete that, not because the Bears are cursed or
(01:48):
the same old Bears. I just am like, he'll figure
it out, He'll figure it out. I was not surprised
at all. This is something really, really incredible going on
with him. The star is born. He's not just good,
He's not just great. He feels special. Take number two,
Tyreek Stevenson was worse for the Bears than the Hail Mary.
I really mean that. If you don't know what I mean.
Tyrek Stevenson is a young defensive back for the Bears
(02:08):
who had the number one video of the weekend when
he was not just talking to the Commander's fans, but
with his back fully turned to the hail Mary, and
not just for the snap. The receivers were forty yards
downfield before the safety turned around to even look at
them and stop engaging in the fans. You know, the
Bears had this really cool comeback in the fourth quarter
(02:29):
and Caleb rallied them and that was really triumphant, and
then they got screwed at the end by just dumb
luck and the football guys, and they got a hail
Mary completed. I feel like they still could die with
their boots on in that game. They made some weird choices,
I know, but I feel like they lost with kind
of some dignity. And then you see what he did,
and it's so embarrassing and it's so bush league and
it's so pathetic and so bad. And I just wonder
(02:50):
what Tyreek Stevenson was even talking about to the Commander's fans.
What was the ammunition that was so good he had
to spray it into the crowd as the hail mary
was developing. Was he telling them that he got cooked
by Terry McLaurin that day. Was he telling them that
he got a personal file for sticking his fingers into
a lineman's eyes and probably should have been ejected, or
was he telling them he was about to make the
(03:11):
biggest horses ass play of the twenty first century since
Jacoby Brissett threw a lateral for the Patriots two Chandler
Jones of the Raiders and single handle. They lost the game,
and this was honestly worse. I know, he tweeted, I
know he apologize. I actually think that's worse than the
Hail Mary. That guy could go on to become a
first ballot Hall of Famer Ed Reid, Ronnie La, Troy
palam I will combined, and they will still remember that video.
(03:33):
That's not just an all time sports video. That is
an all time Internet video. People who don't even follow football, like, wow,
look at this guy. It doesn't you know the play's
going on. Just a terrible, terrible look, young player. You
can recover from it and everything, and I'll be done
talking about after today. But I had to get the
pound of flesh there. Take number three. The Niners are alive,
and that's not good for the rest of the NFC.
I know they're just hovering there, and they'ren't really intimidating
(03:54):
right now. I think you wanted the forty nine ers
to lose that game to Dallas. I think you wanted
them out done. I want them out of the picture
because here's the deal. They've just been treading water, weird
injuries season and from hell type stuff. They win, they
stay relevant, they're still tied for first place in the division.
They go into a bye, and then they get back
not a nice player, not a role player, not a
(04:16):
locker room leader. They get back the offensive player of
the year, who they have played the entire season without.
This is a huge deal. I want the forty nine
ers out of the equation. I don't want to have
to deal with them at the end of the season,
at then beginning of the playoffs. If I'm a Lions fan,
a Packers fan, Eagles fan, Buccaneers, Falcons, I just get
the Niners out of here, because healthy Niners are totally
(04:37):
different and they're still alive. I think you wanted them dead.
Take number four. We've seen a lot of Cowboys teams
that aren't good. I can't remember in the last twenty
years seeing a Cowboys roster that's this bad. They just
don't have players. It's ridiculous. It's Dak Prescott throwing a
CD LAMB and then that's it. The running game is ridiculous.
The other receivers are pointless. Dak can't run himself, so
(04:59):
you just throw it to CD and then that's it.
It's CD with no plan B and he's still two touchdowns.
Last night. It reminds me al Pacino's been out there talking.
Schreeger tells me that he's got a book. Well, he's
got a book because probably he needs money. And he
was talking about how he had fifty million dollars one
day and then he was completely broke. So we started
taking roles like Jack and Jill and just being in
(05:19):
stupid movies that are beneath someone of his stature and
his legend, and he's just doing it for the money.
He just doesn't have anymore, but he's just showing up.
It's like that's how you feel watching Ezekiel Elliott. Wo
at one point was a top five, if not top
three star in the NFL and now just has no
business carrying the football that many times or at all
for any team at all, let alone one that's supposed
to be some sort of playoff contender, and I don't
(05:41):
want to pick on Zeke. It's been done. I just
cannot believe Jerry is allowed, not the team, but the
roster to be so bad and so Inet Take number five.
The Lions are absolutely unstoppable. My take on the lines
is their offense is so good right now and there's
not a lot of great sport and beating the hell
out of the Titans. They could have started their two's
yesterday across the board and I still think they could
(06:01):
have beaten the Titans. Hendon Hooker is the starting quarterback,
throwing passes to Alan Robinson, who I believe is still
on their bench. I still think they could have beat them.
It's so fun to watch them. It's just incredible. Don't
miss the Lions game every week. You want to see
the Lions and the Commanders. Those are the ones. If
you just want pure sports entertainment, watch those two teams.
Take number six. The Chiefs are actually more impressive than
(06:23):
the Lions. We talked about this this morning. Who's more impressive?
The Lions were just unconscious and they are a three
point shooter who can't miss, who's begging for the ball.
In the corner just draining threes, or the team that
really can't hit a shot but still winning. Do you
know how hard it is to win in the NFL
when your offense is playing poorly and they are playing poorly.
Mahomes again is still leading the NFL in interceptions, and
(06:45):
he's also leading the NFL and wins. In the way
that the league is set up now and the rules
are set up and how it's offense offense, you're not
supposed to be able to do that. He's playing bad.
He's like twenty fourth if you want to look at
passer rating. He's behind people who don't even belong in
his zip code. And it's not a one week thing.
We're two months into this season. Mahomes still can't really
get his gamer and they're undefeated. It is really hard
(07:07):
to do that. I'm still impressed. He and Jordan Love
lead the league in interceptions. They may play in the
Super Bowl. It's awesome. Take number seven. The Bills were
totally forgotten about. That happens a lot. If you lose
a nationally televised game early in the season, you get
written off and you're not interested in anymore, and they
blew it and don't worry about Josh Allen. And they
got hammered by the Ravens. They also lost to Houston
(07:28):
and looked really bad. They just absolutely beat the crap
out of the Seahawks, the Seahawks, who I think are
good sometimes, but they went into Seattle, took over the stadium,
flew three thousand miles across the country, and played one
of the more non competitive games of the entire week.
They're good. They're back. They were forgotten about, but they're back.
Take number eight. Kyler Murray, my guy. I love Kyler Murray.
You know why I love them because I love people
(07:51):
and players who just completely picked apart and picked on
over and over and over and still endure. You know this.
For years, it was nothing but jokes about how short
Kyler Murray is. The these addicted to video games. I
probably made some myself, but this was his divorced because
the day before, I think a day or two before
the game came out, the new Call of Duty came out,
which is apparently his vice and his drug, whatever you
(08:13):
want to call it. He's addicted to it. He doesn't
watch films, he's playing Call of Duty. The game came
out it's apparently incredible. I read reviews of it. They
say it's back to its roots. It's all thriller, no filler.
I was reading reviews of Call of Duty, so you
would think if ever Kyler Murray was going to start
playing that game for the days leading up to the
actual football game, he would. No. He beat it. He
beat the Dolphins. He was the best player in Cardinals Dolphins.
(08:34):
He was the best quarterback in the game that featured
two of returning I am so proud of my I
think it is so cool that all the jokes are
over all the jokes are stupid. If you're still making
Kyler Murray Call of Duty games, you're stupid. That's my
take right there. Not sophisticated one, but an accurate one.
I absolutely love Kyler Murray and I love my Cardinals. Yes,
my Cardinals being in first place in the NFC West
(08:54):
at four and four take number nine. The New York
Jets are Christopher Malta sanse I did an extended thing
about this this morning. You can see it on my
Twitter account. Good heart, you kind of root for him,
I guess. I think their intentions are in the right place,
but the intervention seeing on Sopranos is exactly what Malta
Sante needs. Where I don't have anything to say to him.
I don't think that their coaches have anything to say
(09:15):
to him anymore. I wish, truly that Adriana and carm
and Paulie and Cil and Tony could sit down and
just have a talk with the New York Jets and
explain to them what the hell is wrong with them.
If you want to see the full video, I can't
do it here. It's a ten minute show. I did
it on Good Morning Football. It's hours and hours long.
Watch it on my Twitter account. It's incredible. Take number ten.
(09:37):
I have a lot of respect for flight attendants. I do.
That's a tough racket up there. You got people being
maniac se the flight rage all that, people demanding this
and demanding that there's one thing flight attendants do that
I had over the weekend to try to be crazy.
They use the word do in a very annoying, patronizing way.
They say things like, we do have a very full flight,
(10:00):
we do appreciate your patients, we do ask that you
take you see what is the word do doing in
those sentences? Just say ladies and gentlemen, we have a
very full flight. Ladies and gentlemen, we appreciate your patience.
What is it we do appreciate your patience. I don't
know what that is. It's this weird customer service training
type of talk. But when they say we do ask,
(10:22):
I want to ring my call button and ask them
to stop saying do about everything. I know this is
deep in the weeds of the English language. I bet
you understand what I mean. I do ask that you
do my time's up. I do appreciate you listening. I
do hope you will tell your friends. I do ask
that you review and rate and retweet, and I do
(10:44):
hope I will see you next week. I do appreciate you,
and I do love you. I do say goodbye. Ten
