Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Before Rex Ryan retakes his position as head coach of
the New York Jets. At least according to him in
his camp, that's what it sounds like is gonna happen.
He's very confident he's got as good a shot as
any to get that gig, which, by the way, he
said if he did, he would end the quote country
Club for Aaron Rodgers. But he doesn't seem to think
that they should even play this game this weekend. I

(00:22):
know that the number was two and a half on
this game. Rex Ryan is like, this is essentially well,
just listen to what he calls this game for the Chargers.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
I never realized the Chargers gotta buy that it qualify
for bye, but they did because they're playing Houston. This
team right here number one in the National Football League
in scoring defense. And by the way, Quinn Johnson, he
actually could catch the ball. He was under thirteen catches.
Remember this is a kid that couldn't catch a cold like,
all of a sudden, now he's catching the ball. They're
moving and then they can pound you with the run game.

(00:54):
They also realize they have a Hall of Fame quarterback.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
So the foot fetishist is very convinced that they shouldn't
even play this game, that as soon as the Chargers
get off the bus, they've won, it's a bye week
for them. I understand thinking the Texans aren't going to
win this football game. I even understand thinking that, yeah,
it's not going to be particularly close or competitive or whatever.
I don't know if it's that lobsided. I also understand

(01:21):
something Rex Ryan television television, that bye week, off week,
have an opponent. Stuff wasn't even the most inflammatory comment.
Mister zero wins in the playoffs is a Hall of
Fame quarterback, Justin Herbert's going to the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
I did not know that. I did not realize somebody
with the career trajectory of I don't win divisions or
playoff games is headed to the Hall of Fame. I
was unaware. Thank you for enlightening me.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Rex Well, he does that almost on the daily with
various topics, good opinions and bad opinions, And bottom line is,
the incredible majority of national voices will pick the Chargers
to win, and there's a pretty good chance they're going
to be right.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
So it's not even crazy for him to have presented
it that way, and that is a reflection even though
he was way too into the Chargers. And if the
Texans are and off week for the Chargers, then why
do you care that Quinton Johnson caught all those footballs
against the team that just fired their coach that probably
wasn't off week too, Wasn't It took um till the

(02:28):
second half to actually win the game, put the game away,
make sure they would even get to this game as
opposed to having to go to Baltimore. By taking out
one of the worst teams in the NFL, good job, congrats,
It's still more of a reflection of Houston the way
they played this season, the seventeen games that these people
analysts have to look at, they stink. It's not good tape.

(02:49):
They're not a good football team the way that they
have been playing. A five to one team finished five
and six and gets to host a game against the
Chargers on Saturday.
