Speaker 1 (00:00):
Today seems to be a day for mentioning apologies. There
have been a couple of those out there. Here's another one.
Do your belt what Brian Branch of the Lions did. No,
Brian Branch. The Lions played the Packers on Sunday and
one by ten and just kind of we're in control
(00:21):
of it virtually the entire game. My son was out
there and his girlfriend and they were He wore a
cheese head and everything just to kind of, you know,
went in Rome type thing. The pouring rain during that
game looked miserable, but they said they had a good time.
I'm sure they did.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
So.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Brian Branch got ejected during the game, and it was
in the second quarter. The Lions were up seven to three.
He got ejected for a late hit on bow melting
of the Packers. So he starts walking off, and of
course the fans.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
And Green Bay all over them. Huh So what do
you do?
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Yeah, the weird number one gave him the one fingered salute, okay,
and that drew another flag for fifteen more yards. Apparently
he did double. Oh the Tom Herman double bird. Yepkay, yep,
he went double. And he apologized today for going double
Oh he did it on the field. Yeah, when he's
starting to walk off and there and everybody's getting.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
So it wasn't like using the tunnel, like he's direct,
he's on the like he has his teammates next to
him on the field. Well, what are we doing here?
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yeah? Yeah, making a mistake is what we were doing.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Yeah, not thinking And.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
He realized it afterwards. He apologized, said he agreed with
the officials call. Also quote That's not something I wanted
to show or want people to notice me as that.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
That was just the heat of the moment for me.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
And I apologize to everyone who's seen that, and that
won't happen again.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
You can buy a t shirts of the Double Bird
if you want, Craig, can you?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Like, do we have to apologize for everything?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Like?
Speaker 3 (01:55):
I think what? I think it would be better if
he was like, no apology. I hate green Man fans.
I apologize for the hit, but I don't apologize for
Double Bird. Like, let's come on, let's be honest.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
I apologize for nothing. Yeah. I have a feeling that
was instructed of him to do Oh for sure, yeap,
he was instructed to do it. I'm sure ESPN's sex
were all over the roll over Jason Kelsey to apologize. Yeah, yeah,
he agreed also with the call I got him kicked
out of the game, he said, I most definitely agree
(02:24):
with the call. My target was obviously high, but that
was never my intention to aim for the head. Moving forward,
I do have to move my target down, so anyway,
there and Jameson Williams got back from his two game
suspension for that substance abuse policy thing, substance performance enhancing policy.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Excuse me, I apologize.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Dan Campbell said they weren't going to waste any time
getting him back involved with with the teams that would
work out really well. Lines are seven and one. It's
the best start since nineteen fifty six. You think they
win in the Central.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
I think so. I think they are the best team
in the NFC right now. And if I were a
betting man, I would think it would be Chiefs Lines
right now. I really do. I mean, I think this
is a completely different Detroit team. I mean, even with
goff did in the elements in Lambeau. I mean, he's played,
he is I think the MVP of the league right
now at this point. He's playing perfect football. He's executing
(03:25):
the offense, and even the spite Agen Hutchinson being out
for the season, Detroit still has a very nasty defense.
They're getting their playmakers back. I mean, the tandem of
Jamira Gibbs and David Montgomery is so tough to stop.
If Laporta can stay healthy, if the offensive line can
stay healthy, this is that I think the team to
beat in January on the NFC SAW so you'd say
(03:48):
they're on a roll. Six in a row. I believe
they have the highest point differential in the league. They
do it one hundred and ten. They're the only team
over one hundred points. The second highest whole team in
point differential is the Commanders at seventy four, So, you know,
thirty six points more than the next team, which tells
you they're pretty good for any games.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
You know who else is in a row? The Rams, Well, yeah,
we'll see.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
If that continues on Monday night when they play the
Dolphins out in LA.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I was gonna say the Carolina Panthers in a row.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Right.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
One, they've won one game, they won one, they beat
the Saints. Uh and, and I'll tell you it's on
a row. Bryce Young, he's going to get to start again.
Good for him to start against the Giants when they
play in Munich Sunday morning. Are you sitting your alarm
for this cam Panthers Giants eight thirty am, Texas time?
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Are you getting up to watch that one?
Speaker 3 (04:43):
I do not think I will be? Okay, do not
think I will be. Do you think the Germans are
going to really enjoy Bryce Young first, Danny Diamonds?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I mean, could they?
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Can we give the game you give?
Speaker 1 (04:56):
You and I both know that in these European especially
ones in England, but even in Germany as well when
they played over there that I'm gonna give you a
conservative estimate, sixty five maybe seventy percent of the fans
are Americans, whether they live over there or went over
(05:20):
for the trip or what. When you see them, there's
a lot of Americans who make that. Now, for this
particular game, maybe not so much. Yeah, but if the
Eagles are over there, or the Vikings are over there
or the Packers, you know there's gonna be a lot
of their a lot of their fans there.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
For this game.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Jonathan Brooks, sexist running back, Yeah, has been activated off
the IR He's on the fifty three men roster. How
many NFL players can say they made their NFL debut
in Germany.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
It's a good question. So hopefully he gets the chance
to do that. I hope so too. Patrick Mahomes today
said he thinks his ankle is gonna be all right.
Eager to test it. Said, when you have a little
bit of a role, it's a little bit sore, but
I'm able to move around and look forward to getting
out to practice and seeing how much I can push it.
(06:14):
As the week goes on and Andy reaches, They're not
going to limit him. We're gonna have him do what
he normally.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Does, just to see how he does it.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
One other quarterback note, the Browns are kind of going.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Yeah about the Shawn Watson.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Andrew Berry is our general manager.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
His reaction and response about the future and current standing
of Deshaun Watson with the Browns franchise was.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Non committal. Quote.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Really our focus with Shawn. I would say for any
player the season ending injury in a major and remember
he had the right achilles tendant here, his first and
foremost to make sure he gets healthy from the achilles injury.
Everything else will deal with at a later moment. You know,
it should be pointed out that before the injury, watching
(07:16):
at the lowest total QBR of any qualified passer in
the NFL.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
They were one in five and his six starts.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
So this is a guy they gave a lot of
money too, and gave up to get things to get him.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Forty six million dollars each of the next two seasons.
He had cap pits of seventy two point nine million
dollars in twenty five in twenty six. If they were
the part ways with him at the end of this season,
Cleveland would take on a dead cap pit of one
hundred and seventy two million dollars total ninety nine in
twenty five and in twenty six. It will go down
(07:54):
as the worst trade in NFL history. It might be
up there as the worst trade in all the professional
sports because I don't I don't see how Watson can
come back. I mean he he was already obviously the
same player after that shoulder injury and achilles.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yeah, that could be. That could be bad. Dead cap
money of one hundred million.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
One hundred and seventy two.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
You're talking Dallas Cowboys dead cap money, and you're doing that,
you know, because the Cowboys have had a lot of
dead cap hits over the years, kind of taking it
from there, all right, We'll be back to wrap up
Hour number two here on Sports Medio AM thirteen under
the Zone.
