Speaker 1 (00:04):
Ten Takes is a production of the NFL in partnership
with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Nine in a row. Their last loss, I don't really remember.
It was a Thursday night, said the Rams, was before Halloween,
and they lost by two to the Lions.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
And that's it.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Nine games in a row and we're coming tearing down
the stretch of the playoffs is an unbelievable thing. And
I'm just so impressed with Sam Donald because there's so
much of NFL media and certainly NFL Internet that is
just based on having familiar targets and pinatas and punchlines.
And I feel like there's been a two month waiting
period for Sam Donald to remember he's Sam Donald, whatever
the hell that means, and fall in his face and
(00:54):
have a four interception game, and then everybody can mean
this and joke that and go back to the Sam
Donald they used to know, which they can make fun
of when he was a Jets quarterback and seeing ghosts
and all that bs.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
From years ago. And he just won't do it.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
He won't let them make the joke, he won't let
them return him to a punchline.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
It's so impressive, it's so cool.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
You don't see guys this deep on their fourth team
playing this well, it doesn't happen. Eventually they remember who
they are and like, I hate to use this guy
as a punchline, but you know, Jamis Outters returns to Jamis,
he gives you a little flurry and it's oh, Jamis
is good now, and then God love him. He goes
back and he doesn't remember that to play well. Sam
Donald hasn't lost the game nine weeks. Sam Donald is
(01:35):
looking at having a buy in the NFC. Sam Donald
is squarely in MVP consideration. Now, the weaker year, Sam
Donald would be the MVP. And if you're someone who
votes for the MVP, is who's the best player combined
with who has the best story? Sam Donald is the MVP.
I don't want to shout MVP into a crowded theater
these days because everybody's drawing knives and it's got politicized
and it's horrible. But he's had a fantastic year and
(01:57):
there are thousands of people who make their living waiting
around for Sam Donald to play poorly so they can
make fun of him, and he just.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Won't do it, and you have to respect it.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
That guy could be sitting around on his butt for
a week after the regular season with a buy in
a one seat if he takes care of business next week,
which is a giant game we'll be talking about all week.
They haven't lost in nine straight games. It's incredible. I
think it's time to let the MVP conversation go. And
what do I mean by Lamar was awesome on Christmas?
Josh Allen had three more touchdowns yesterday. The MVP race
(02:27):
should be this thing of joy and fun, and it's
not anymore. It's gone dark. People are angry about it.
People fight about it. It's been politicized. It's injected with
all these things that are unsavory and unfun to talk about.
I'm on these Twitter threads where people at me where
they're fighting each other and screaming about the MVP award.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Let it go.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Sheath your sword, because let's take a step back and
just remember what the MVP is. It's a cool little
award that is more a bragging thing and a flex
because you know what's not cool. We go to honors
every year and you see the MVP show up and
he's been knocked out of the playoffs and he lost
the game two weeks ago, and he has this mandated
(03:06):
trip to whatever city is in.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
He puts on a suit and.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
He gives a speech, and honestly, I always feel like
the MVP is kind of sheepish, like almost apologetic because
they're not playing in the big Game. They were knocked
out a couple weeks ago, probably because he didn't play
very well.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
And it's kind of a weird.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Look, do you understand that the MVP almost never wins
the Super Bowl? It rarely even gets to the Super Bowl,
And ile this pull me away looking this up.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Mahomes did at one time and won the MVP won
the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
The last player to win the MVP of the NFL
and win the Super Bowl was Kurt Warner nineteen nineties,
twenty five years ago.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
It doesn't happen. So when you're rooting for you, I
want my guy to win the v he deserves MVP.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
The odds, the statistic, the football guys, whatever tell you
he won't be in the Super Bowl, and I would
just tell you, Bills fans, Josh Allen's purpose.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
In this league is singular.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
It's one thing he's put on the planet to do
is bring a Lombardi to Buffalo, and that's it. I
submit to you that if the Bill's losing the playoffs
and Josh Win's MVP and shows up the honors after
another playoff loss, it would almost be sad. That's not
what he's there for. And Lamar Lamar's crazy too, Ravens fans.
Lamar is at risk right now of becoming the first
(04:17):
ever three time MVP to never even play in a
super Bowl. It's never happened before. If you win three MVPs,
you at least get to one. That's not a good
look for him. That's not a good legacy for him.
He doesn't want that. You don't want that, and we're
almost there. Let it go. I'd almost rather go to
Joe Burrow. At this point, the Giants had lost ten
games in a row. They lost games by a score
(04:38):
of fourteen to eleven, twenty eight to three, and then
last week thirty four to seven.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
And then one man said.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Enough, give me the ball and I will lead us
to the Promised Land.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
This goes to Drew Lock of the Giants.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Drew Lock absolutely lit up MetLife yesterday. Peter has talked
about this. The Giants were at risk could becoming the
first team in NFL history to go oh to nine
at home. Okay, they had nine home games, they had
lost the first eight of them, and in this one
they actually.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Put on a show. Drew Locke played. I don't know
if it's the best game of his career. I don't know.
He had five touchdowns. That has to be.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
They go against a coach team that had a lot
to play for and Drew lock did not give a damn.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
What's interesting is years from.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Now, this game might be looked at as a very
infamous win by the Giants, who badly hurt their draft
position five years.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
It might have set them back twenty We don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
It might be a historically infamous win, but that has
nothing to do with Drew Locke.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
As you know, I players do not tank.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
That is a sound bite you will hear a lot
of over the next week. I'm happy for Drew Locke.
He's one of these guys who always seems to have
a very likable personality, is good in the media, seems
to be liked by teammates, and this is kind of
a hard lock case. That was a great day for
Drew Locke. He went out in one a football game
of the job he was asked to do. Whether you
like it or not, gay ball, we're giving.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Praise all these other commanders, and we should.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
If you go into this and say, all right, Jayden
sacked five times and Terry scary, Terry has one catch that's.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Terrible and they still won.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Like the fact that he is doing this with Alama
Daiza Kias and zach Ertz as his top two weapons.
I love those guys, but like this is a big
time We're going to the playoff type, Nick Nichols, these
are the guys. There is one person in the NFL
who ran for more yards and Jane Dniels yesterday at
Saquon Barkley.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
That's it. He did an.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Incredible, incredible job on a massive night under the lights Washington.
Like this was all the vision going back, new ownership,
new GM, new coach, new quarterback.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
It all sounded great.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
But you have those uniforms and that weird team name,
the weird mascot. It's just like all that stuff is nonsense.
This game mattered. When's the last time a commander's game matter.
I'm talking about the team that used to be called
or the Washington When is the last time a commander's
game matter that they won. It was last night, it'll
be next week, it'll be the week after that.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Because here's the deal. So Jaymie's gonna go to the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
He's gonna show up and he's gonna play either Jalen
Hurts or Matthew Stafford. Those are guys who have been
to Super Bowls. One of them has won a super Bowl.
It's varsity time. This is not gonna be Michael Pennis.
It's not gonna be some of the quarterbacks has beaten
this year, and he just beat it without his best wide.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Receiver or a running game.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Sky's the lim This is the team that could shock
you and win two playoff games this year.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
I was so impressed. The stakes are really cool in this.
I got an email I think we all got.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
You get different research emails from the media group about
this game. In that game and the one that came
through for Vikings Lions, the headline was biggest regular season
game ever, Like, is that true?
Speaker 3 (07:24):
That's kind of cool.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
We've never seen fourteen and two versus fourteen and two
the first time ever.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
It's division opponents. Is the quarterback thing, and it's just
the stakes are so high. And let's just.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Try as we start twenty twenty five, it's almost relatable.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
So think about this. The prize for this game.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Is a week off in your job right now, whatever
it may be, if you sell insurance or you're a
substitute teacher or whatever. Imagine if you had like a
big presentation with your boss or your vice president, and
if you nail that presentation, you get a damn week off.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Peter, would you like a week off right now? Incredible?
An hour? So you gotta win a shit out to
the other.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
End, and you say, and therefore, I conclude that that
is the presentation and we should extend this to our clients,
and the VP goes Johnson, you nailed it. You know what,
take a week off, go on vacation, or don't just
sit around on your butt on the couch.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Great job. The flip side of that is you.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Fumble some things, you mispronounce them, you get some facts wrong,
the overhead projector what the hell doesn't work, and they're like,
we expect to see you in on Monday. In fact,
why don't you come out on Sunday too to get
a head start, and you have to work for an
extra while.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Yes, at the remote office in Des Moines because you've
got to go on the road for the branch.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Say goodbody, family for three weeks. Oh say goodbye, go
to Des Moines Hot good bag.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
It's your biggest rival in the office.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
They get the week off because they did a better.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Presentation than you can. You imagine what the Lions are
facing this one. This is huge.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
I mean, like the super Bowl is great, the bye
week is awesome. It's almost as great as that. And
here's my take on the game. Is like Peter, I
believe too that if Sam Donald has the ball at
the end of the game, I think the Vikings are
gonna win because he's been great and I don't know
if the Lions can stop him.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
It's that simple. And it's not as sin.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
We know they're banged up and we know that they're
up against it. It's very simple. This game will be
one and lost by the Detroit Lions. We know Jamiir
Gibbs is gonna be great and golf and I'm on
a rod. It's gonna be one and lost by guys
like Kirby, Joseph Terry and Arnold Amik Robertson. Are you
familiar with Jalen Reeves Maybin. These are people in the
Lions defense that need to make a play. They're not
(09:31):
gonna hold the Vikings to twenty eight points, twenty three points,
play thirty points. But the only reason they beat the
forty nine er is.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Because of two picks by Kirby.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Look at their game against the Bills that they lost
zero takeaways none. The Bills didn't lose any fumbles Josh
than throwing the interceptions the Lions lose. Their defense cannot
win by just holding you to the low points. They
have to have takeaways. If they don't, they don't have
any takeaways. Golf could put up sixty Donald's gonna put
up sixty one. They have to have takeaways. I know
the stars are gonna show up. It's these defensive role players.
(10:00):
That's how they're gonna get the week off of work.
That's how they're gonna sit around their butts. That's how
they're gonna go on to Sandals, trip to whoever, Cabo Acapoco.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
That's what's at stake. Do you guys want a week
off wherever you are watching this, I bet you would.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
I sat here back when the season first started thirty
seven years Ago.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
I sat here in the seat and.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
I said that Mike Evans is the greatest buccaneer of
all time. And I gave this whole rant, and you
guys remember, and I felt very passionate about and I
still believe it. Mike Evans has one game left in
the regular season. As you know, the media and the
box and everybody loves this streak. He's never played a
season without a thousand yards. He's sitting there. It's doable,
needs to have a pretty good game, which is why
I don't give one player.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
I give four. Give the entire secondary of the New
Orleans Saints, who has.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
A division rival of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
There they are, guys. That is the Honey.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Badger, that's kool Aid mckinstree, that's Alante Taylor, that's Will Harris. Guys,
you're not going to the playoffs. I don't know who
you are even gonna be on the team next year.
I'm sure there'll be a new head coach. They'll be
everything in the Saints. But one more game we ride,
one more time for twenty twenty four, even though it's
twenty twenty five, and before we go off.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
To Tuloom or wherever the hell we're going.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
What say you, we just clamp up Mike Evans one
more time. Let's take that from Tampa Bay. Let's take
that for New Orleans. It's a little victory, but it's
also history. Mike Evans will go to the Hall of
Fame someday. And if you look back on that twenty
four season, remember the thousand yard sequent was broken by
a bad Saints.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Team in the last game.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
That would be an incredible little fly in the ointment.
I don't want it because I love Mike, but if
I'm a Saints fans, these are my four heroes this weekend.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Go get them boys, see what you can do.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
Is a week off in your job right now, whatever
it may be, if you sell insurance or you're a
substitute teacher or whatever. Imagine if you had like a
big presentation with your boss or your vice president, and
if you nail that presentation, you get a damn week off.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Peter, would you like a week off right now? Incredible?
An hour? So you gotta win a shit out to
the other.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
End, and you say, and therefore, I conclude that that
is the presentation and we should extend this to our clients,
and the VP goes Johnson, you nailed it. You know what,
take a week off, go on vacation, or don't just
sit around on your butt on the couch.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Great job. The flip side of that is you.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Fumble some things, you mispronounce them, you get some facts wrong,
the overhead projector what the hell doesn't work, and they're like,
we expect to see you in on Monday. In fact,
why don't you come out on Sunday too to get
a head start, and you have to work for an
extra while.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Yes, at the remote office in Des Moines because you've
got to go on the road for the branch.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Say goodbody, family for three weeks. Oh say goodbye, go
to Des Moines Hot good bag.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
It's your biggest rival in the office.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
They get the week off because they did a better.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Presentation than you can. You imagine what the Lions are
facing this one. This is huge.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
I mean, like the super Bowl is great, the bye
week is awesome. It's almost as great as that. And
here's my take on the game. Is like Peter, I
believe too that if Sam Donald has the ball at
the end of the game, I think the Vikings are
gonna win because he's been great and I don't know
if the Lions can stop him.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
It's that simple. And it's not as sin.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
We know they're banged up and we know that they're
up against it. It's very simple. This game will be
one and lost by the Detroit Lions. We know Jamiir
Gibbs is gonna be great and golf and I'm on
a rod. It's gonna be one and lost by guys
like Kirby, Joseph Terry and Arnold Amik Robertson. Are you
familiar with Jalen Reeves Maybin. These are people in the
Lions defense that need to make a play. They're not
(09:31):
gonna hold the Vikings to twenty eight points, twenty three points,
play thirty points. But the only reason they beat the
forty nine er is.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Because of two picks by Kirby.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Look at their game against the Bills that they lost
zero takeaways none. The Bills didn't lose any fumbles Josh
than throwing the interceptions the Lions lose. Their defense cannot
win by just holding you to the low points. They
have to have takeaways. If they don't, they don't have
any takeaways. Golf could put up sixty Donald's gonna put
up sixty one. They have to have takeaways. I know
the stars are gonna show up. It's these defensive role players.
(10:00):
That's how they're gonna get the week off of work.
That's how they're gonna sit around their butts. That's how
they're gonna go on to Sandals, trip to whoever, Cabo Acapoco.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
That's what's at stake. Do you guys want a week
off wherever you are watching this, I bet you would.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
I sat here back when the season first started thirty
seven years Ago.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
I sat here in the seat and.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
I said that Mike Evans is the greatest buccaneer of
all time. And I gave this whole rant, and you
guys remember, and I felt very passionate about and I
still believe it. Mike Evans has one game left in
the regular season. As you know, the media and the
box and everybody loves this streak. He's never played a
season without a thousand yards. He's sitting there. It's doable,
needs to have a pretty good game, which is why
I don't give one player.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
I give four. Give the entire secondary of the New
Orleans Saints, who has.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
A division rival of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
There they are, guys. That is the Honey.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Badger, that's kool Aid mckinstree, that's Alante Taylor, that's Will Harris. Guys,
you're not going to the playoffs. I don't know who
you are even gonna be on the team next year.
I'm sure there'll be a new head coach. They'll be
everything in the Saints. But one more game we ride,
one more time for twenty twenty four, even though it's
twenty twenty five, and before we go off.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
To Tuloom or wherever the hell we're going.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
What say you, we just clamp up Mike Evans one
more time. Let's take that from Tampa Bay. Let's take
that for New Orleans. It's a little victory, but it's
also history. Mike Evans will go to the Hall of
Fame someday. And if you look back on that twenty
four season, remember the thousand yard sequent was broken by
a bad Saints.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Team in the last game.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
That would be an incredible little fly in the ointment.
I don't want it because I love Mike, but if
I'm a Saints fans, these are my four heroes this weekend.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Go get them boys, see what you can do.
