Speaker 3 (04:44):
I thought it was all right? Can we talk? Yes?
We can? All right?
Speaker 4 (04:53):
And I want to say this. I'm not first guessing this. Okay,
I've been saying this forever.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Hey, where are we going with this?
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Sean Payton, who's the coach of the Denver Broncos.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
He was wrong and he allowed.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
His dislike for Russell Wilson personally to get in the
way of the football and the facts.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
It was about feelings.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
And you know what was the worst part is that
so many people bought into it because Sean Payton was
ready and decided to bite the bullet and say, just
get this guy out of here.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
I don't care how much money it costs.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
They took an unprecedented hit on a salary cap, right
because they just want to get Russell Wilson out of
my face.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Everybody. Oh, you know, last year we really didn't play
that well. We really looked at the nut.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Despite numbers because they weren't bad. But they still made
the case like he was no good. And I'm not
saying he's a super Bowl quarterback from from years ago
with Seattle, but you must admit you saw the win
yesterday in Washington, big time, three touchdowns, he had a pick,
(06:21):
He played well, and he's played well for for Pittsburgh.
What's the one thing they've been missing for the last five, six,
seven years.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
They're on the quarterback, right, somebody who could throw the
football downfield. That's that's the key. Key component right there
is that he he was solid all day and he
made the right three to four paud.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
I mean he threw one with the day. But that's
what you need different. That is the difference. That's what
I was saying earlier this year. I wasn't justin fields,
oh he can't play it and below in the league.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
But if you have these.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Two and you're just stealers, you haven't won a playoff
game in eight years.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
This is what you're looking for. Okay.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Now, all of a sudden, all the NFL analysts in
the talking heads, oh the stealers or Super Bowl contender
now and they were the same ones who were dissing,
Oh Russell Wilson. I don't know what they got him for.
Nobody wanted him, you remember that talk. Nobody wanted him.
He's washed. Oh he's so phony, Oh he's this, he's dad,
(07:23):
he's running from Mayor. The dude can still play football?
Can people come around? How much better does he have
to play? I'm not crowning him. I'm just saying you
were wrong, and you brought into Sean Payton's hate, dislike
whatever you want to call it, feelings because he won't
(07:44):
this guy, he didn't like that guy from day one
when he got there in Denver, and couldn't wait to
figure out a way to.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Get rid of him. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
I think Sean Payton had a control issue in that
if you don't do exactly what I want you to do,
then we have issues. And I think the reason why
he wanted a young quarterback in order somebody that he can,
you know, in bo Nixon, somebody that he can kind
of shape and mold, is so that it's almost like
a Manchurian candidate. Right, I can get you to do
exactly what I want you to do, be exactly what
I want you to be, whereas with Russell Wilson, I
(08:16):
have to work with you. You have years of experience, right,
so he can be like, well I used to do
this and this kind of works, and I don't want
to deal with that. If I'm Sean Payne, I want
you to be yes, sir, Yes, sir, this is what
we're gonna do now.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
On the flip side, I like everything you just said.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
The only thing I would add to that is sometimes
life is gonna life. And if you're Russell Wilson, maybe
people did believe he ain't got it, like he used
to he's washed, or he ain't this, he ain't that,
And it didn't help you. Starting to have people come out,
Oh I didn't like him as a teammate, and guys
you kind of thought would have had his back, had spoken,
you know, kind of ill against him. And maybe there
was some truth to what they felt. I'm not gonna
deny that, but it doesn't matter. And that sometimes in
(08:51):
life you got to remind people. Point Blake Pier, You've
been there in your career. Oh Rob can't do this.
Rob ain't that. And you got to remind people and
to me, everything you said may be true, but it's
incumbent upon you.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Rip two.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
One of my mentors and a mentor to a lot
of great people, Tom Brady, Michael Phelps and all. His
name is Greg Harden and he says, control the controllables.
And that's what Russell Wilson is doing right now. I
got a good position, I got a good team, I
got a coach.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
That believes in me.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Let me go out here and ball and control the
controllables and let the chips fall where they may. And
he's been able to reinvent himself again. Still early, but
I think he's doing everything he needs to do to
get this team right where they want to be and hopefully.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Contend with something.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
And we've seen this before, Rob, You know what, it
reminds me of Kurt Warner pauling out Toast of the
Town MVP A team for about two three years, greatest
show on turf, lighting it up, setting records were all, man,
Kurt Warner is the best? What an amazing story? Where's
Disney when you need it? And then he started to
flounder a little bit. Then they wanted to start somebody else.
(09:51):
Then he goes to the Giants, doesn't work out a
year or so, then they go and draft Eli Manning
and then they're like, no, we gotta we gotta get
Eli in here, and they kick him out. We say, oh,
he's pretty us watched. What does he do? He goes
to the Cardinals and gets him to one of the
best Super Bowls we'd ever seen and that and almost
won that when he ended up having a couple of
good years there and restored his career. And that's what
got him in the Hall of Fame was putting that
(10:12):
icing on the cake. So to me, that's what Russell
Wilson's doing right now, controlling his controllables, coming in, performing
with a really good team, and now he's right back
where he wants to be an opportunity to win it all.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
I don't disagree.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
But the Sean Payton campaign against Russell Wilson was about
feelings and that's what I told you think it was.
That's what he didn't like him. He thought he was
a prima donna. I think he had an office at
the facility, you knowing all that he did that. But
but Brett Farv had a separate locker room when he
played for the Jets. Okay, I could give you other
guys of that. Ilk coolve had similar stuff. And I'm
(10:46):
talking about the campaign to kind of poison the well
against Russell Wilson.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
That's what I'm He went out.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
Of his way to tell people nobody takes that kind
of and and you know what, if you wanted to
have your own quarterback and bring him along, that's fine,
But to act like last year he didn't do anything. Well,
he didn't him at the end. You remember the missed
the rest of the season, which was strange, which was
see everything else.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Still had a chance to win game warm they didn't.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
They didn't want him to get hurt, so because they
knew they were getting rid of him exactly. So they said,
that's that part right there, You got it. You might
have to see me in the parking lot. Well, but Igo,
that's the time when I need Russell Wilson to be
Russell Westbrook.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
But where the people Sean Payton? He was wrong.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
I mean, you can't look at Russell Wilson with the
Steelers and not look at this guy and go he
has something in the tank.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
He does He ain't.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
No, I'm not saying he a Hall of Fame quarterback tomorrow,
yesterday or whatever. But you cannot sit there and look
at this guy and believe he's the same guy that
Sean Payton went out of his way to say he
was washed and he's this, and he's that and all
those other things. Because he went to Pittsburgh. Uh, and
he sat behind right while he was injured or whatever.
(12:03):
Didn't make a belly. Oh I need to get back in.
I need to watch he got hazy. He didn't say anything.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
He's run this as well as you can right now.
He is playing very well, teams playing well. He you know,
there wasn't really any issues he seemed to have been
a mentor for Justin Fields and seems and Justin Fields
doesn't seemed to be receptible. Obviously, he didn't want to
lose a position.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
And even if you're Justin Fields and you're watching him now,
you can't even feel bad about yourself.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
I think that why he's just and he's still so
young justin fields that I think you're like, whether it
be here, whether it be somewhere else, he's in a
good position, meaning you've played well with Pittsburgh, you're learning,
and you're being tutored, tutored under a Hall of Fame quarterback.
And that whether again, whether it's two three years from
Pittsburgh with Pittsburg, or if they say we got a
great asset to trade in Justin Fields.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
I'm not really worried about Justin Fields. I think he'll
be fine. And let me give you these numbers. You ready,
this is how well he's playing. He's third in quarterback rating,
passer rating, right tenth in QB are, tenth in passing
yard per game, and the touchdown interception ratio six to one, Like,
don't you can't play any better than that? He's in
the top ten in all of these things and this
(13:09):
is like you know, long in the two years old.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Yeah, only thing I'll say quickly before he break.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
I think I think Sean Payton, if you sat him
down despite everything, we'll say, I'm happy where I am.
We almost won that game yesterday against the Chiefs, but
you did win, right. But I'm saying he would say,
we're a competitive team five and you're five. Five, We're
a competitive team. I got a young quarterback I believe in,
and I think he I think he was. I'm not
saying you would say I'm happy where I'm going.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
That's fine. This wasn't working.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
He and I I think sometimes fast case scenario Russell
Wilson's bawling teams winning, Sean Payton, who kind of you know,
put put that scenario out there, will say, CCC, I
got what I want. I got this new guy. My
team's playing just fine.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
But what he did to attack Russell Wilson in his career,
what he did if you ever listened to any of
the veteran players in the NFL, who will analysts now
until the vision was totally disrespectful to a guy won
a Super Bowl and went to a second one.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Especially I don't care playing.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
You know what I'm saying, like, that's that's totally disrespectful. So,
Sean Payton, I hope you looked at the quarterback rating
and passer ratings and stats and if you're still on
that nonsense about he's washed and he can't play and
he's a bad guy.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Whatever, that talk was, all right?

Speaker 6 (16:01):
Kevin, you're putting in just like a glove.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Brother, my guy, If it don't fit, I must have quit.
Speaker 7 (16:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
I just want to say, man, Yeah, he disrespected He
just totally disrespected him.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Russell Wilson living.
Speaker 6 (16:17):
I saw him. You know they showed a segment where
he was king on the front on the side line
when he's fun his finger at.
Speaker 7 (16:21):
Him and everything.
Speaker 6 (16:22):
And he did the best thing. He didn't wistening, he
didn't say anything back. He played in the silent treatment.
Speaker 7 (16:29):
But you don't have to go that far.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
He's already you know, he's already had to preaking. See
how the or the gas taking him too much of
my money. So I just want to get I just
want to push him out the door. But they showed
another segment where bo Nicks came out the field and
Sean was trying to challenge him about then and bo
Nicks can't back down.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Both went him. He went at him. That was about
three weeks ago.
Speaker 6 (16:49):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, And Sean didn't be a little to him.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
He didn't like him before he got there. I mean
that's just fat. Yeah, you think, no doubt. Andre in Massachusetts, Up, Drey,
Thanks for the call. You're on the odd couple Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 7 (17:05):
How you doing. Thanks for taking the call. Listen. When
it comes to the Steelers and Mike Tomlin and what
he establishes, he says, the standard is the standard, okay,
and I'm gonna push you and I'm going to see
that you raise your level. But if and when you do,
my arm is around you, and it's always understood. This
is coming from a place of love and a place
of support. And we see what the results are with
(17:28):
Russell west Uh, with Russell Wilson. Excuse me, Sean Payton
did his whole my way of the highway, old school,
red in the face, screaming that you calling you out
your name way of doing things. Is that the reason
that they gave up seventy points to the Miami Dolphins. Thanks, thanks,
because you're you're all up in somebody's face.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Ra ra.
Speaker 7 (17:44):
And we see totally different situation when Bo Nicks this year,
a rookie gave it right back to him, okay and
stood him down, and you know wasn't having that way
of going about things. So in terms of Russell Wilson,
he's done it the hard way and you got to
tip your half of this guy. He had to work
for the job, he had to earn the job. Mike
Tomlin gave him that opportunity, you know, gave him the
(18:05):
benefit of the doubts, and you see the results. So
Sean Payton, you know how you do things, and you
know wash buckling, you know you need to kind of
look at yourself in the Mayyor and get with the
modern way of coaching and always have these players back.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Thank you so much, Thank you, no doubt.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
Randy in New Orleans, you're on the couple of Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 8 (18:23):
What's up, Randy, Uncle Rob Calvin? What's gone on all
right now? Calvin? I was literally thinking the same thing.
The rough situation reminds me of Kurt Wanda when he
started to fall off with the Giants and then he
started his career back up in Arizona.
Speaker 7 (18:38):
Right.
Speaker 8 (18:39):
I have to get rib the credits. During the summer,
you said Russ should start for the Steelers. But to
answer the question, it makes Sean look bad. I could
speak from a stand from a fan standpoint, watching Sean
for eighteen years and walla. We know that Sean has
a big ego and that he has to be the
biggest star on the team. But my main issue is this,
(19:00):
if he's supposed to be the quarterback whisperer that everybody
says he is, why couldn't he bring this out of rush?
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Thank you when he was.
Speaker 8 (19:08):
It's not like it's terrible numbers.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
To me, his numbers were, you know what, His numbers
were decent, But they tried to point like they were.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
No good like that's how they painted them.
Speaker 8 (19:21):
I figure if you couple that with a decent quarterback
and a quarterback whisperer, right, that's just turned your franchise around.
I just feel like Sean didn't want to coach him
from there.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
You go, Randy, Sometimes it don't matter what it looks like.
I just don't like you. And that was the issue.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
He just didn't like him.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
I want my own quarter They do this all the time,
but here's what their own coach. Coaches want their own quarterback.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
But you don't disrespect the guy's career and money to
water to tell people that he's no.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
You could just move on. You could just move on
without doing all that.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
There's a degree of respect to a guy who won
a Super Bowl and went to a second one. That's
all I'm said. You can make a change. Okay, that's
not what I'm against. It's how he handled Oh yeah,
I mean he's straight up to act like he can't
play again because we're gonna trade you, as if you're
going to trash. First of all, he wasn't playing trash. Secondly,
he's earned better respect than That's.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
What I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
Yeah, Tim Chili, Tim in Atlanta's up. Tim, You're in
the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio whatever.
Speaker 6 (20:21):
Smoky smoky, smoky.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Smoke dog o that Wow.
Speaker 5 (20:30):
But think about it, guys, If you think about it,
the same thing that Mike Toomland has in Pittsburgh. It's
the same situation that Sean Payton had a great defense,
a good young receiver and Jerry Judy yep it had
a good defensive. You know, good great defensive was holding
teams down, and Mike Towmland has the same thing. The
only difference is Mike Thomland is a better coach. Because
(20:51):
you ask most people who's the better coach, Sean Payton,
Mike Toomland. A lot of them say Sam Payton. I'm like, wow,
Mike Tooman has never had a losing Sea Uh. You know,
He's always uplifted his players, loved and their play for them,
their run through all a lot of guys and hated Sean.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Let me tell you this all the other stuff, Tim,
go look at the records of Mike McCarthy and Sean Payton.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
They're almost identical.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
I'm telling but the but the view of Sean Payton
is way up here and Mike McCarthy's way down.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Not to mention Sean, and they both won one Super Bowl.
They're both that Hall of Fame quarterbacks.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
But the difference is Mike McCarthy with Aaron Rodgers didn't
go seven and nine three years in a row like
they did in New Orleans with Drew Bree.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
No, Sean Payton is eating he's eating off that one
Super Bowl. He's eating off of that. Not to say
he had had a heck of a career. He's had
a heck of a career. Throw No, No, that was
the money right there.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
And by the way, I'm still mad at Chief didn't
go get Mike Williams with That's the story for another day.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
I mean, my name it.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
I called that out and Mike Roger I called that out.
All right, trendy right now, Still a lot left coming up.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
Man the Jets, you can say that plan hands landed.
I don't even know if it ever took off. That
jet ain't go. It might have just been stuck on
the runway. This thing is all types of bad right
now when you look at what's going on with the offense.
One of the things I've mentioned when we talked to
the offense on the d, the defense, the team as
a whole, one of the things I looked at all
(22:28):
the way it is they I don't mind we've talked
about this before. You see it in any sport, especially like,
for instance, you see it in the NBA with the
Lebron led team.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Right you kind of mortgage everything. You say, we're gonna
do this.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
We're gonna get move coaches, we're gonna go get some
some rich Paul guys, We're gonna do whatever we're gonna
do when we're gonna mortgage our future with this player.
That's what the Jets did with Aaron Rodgers, and I'm
actually not mad at it. He's a Hall of Famer
who has had an amazing career. They thought they were
a guy away, so they took the risk, They took
the calculator risk and said we'll pretty much provide everything
(23:00):
for him, and it just hasn't worked out. And now
it's to the place where I'm glad that it's we're here,
so that we can move on because after ten weeks
the offense looks the same as it has with Zach Wilson.
If they're literally one point more, one point more than
when they had Zack Wilson, the they haven't had any
more yards. They have like eight literally eight more yards
(23:23):
than when they had Zack Wilson. They've went out and
got DeVante Adams is not working. They've got Green Bay
receivers that's not working. They've changed coaches, it's not working.
They've changed offensive coordinators, it's not working. They have gone
down the entire checklist of what you can do to
make this a better situation, and it has not work.
And so at this point they have to start thinking
(23:45):
about the future. What are we going to do moving forward?
How can we press the reset button, like when you're
losing to a kid and they've all of a sudden
snatched the court out or hit the reset button on
a video game council. It's that time for the Jets
to go ahead and hit reset at the end of
this season.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
And figure out what's going to work.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Because defensively they're not great like they had been in
the last few years. Offensively they're trash, which doesn't make sense.
If on paper I told you all the players they have,
you would think, oh, this team putting up points.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Their not offensive line is.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
Bad, they can't run the football and Aaron Rodgers is
coming off of a major injury. But they but that
all is excuses in the NFL. But that's what But
that's those are facts though. But it's just like I'm
just saying, if you don't have an offensive line, I
don't care who's a quarterback.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
You got to protect the forty year old quarterback. You
got to be able to run the ball.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
So that.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Year old, yeah, but you.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
Got to be able to do other things so that
it works if you don't protect them like they didn't
in and in the first game ever where it was
hurried three out of the four snaps and he wound
up getting hurt on one of the snaps. And if
you don't have those things, I never thought this would work.
But I understand why they did it. No, just this
is the franchise that has won a Super Bow nineteen
(25:00):
sixty nine.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
I just said, mortgage, it's time to reset.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
They're not gonna reset until after the season is over.
They got to see I if there's any kind of
salvaging and seeing if this progresses, because you can still
draft a quarterback, but no one on the Jets or
Jets fans are looking at some fu. They've drafted Sam Darnold,
Zach Wilson, They've they've they've drafted uh, who's the other
(25:27):
guy in Seattle. I'm just forgetting Smith, Gino Smith. They've
drafted like nine quarterbacks. So you can sit here and go, well,
they're gonna start all over again, do that, But they're
not going to until after the season.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
I literally said, at the end of the season, you
yanked the court, how you press reset on the game council?
You start over and organizationally, you have to figure something out.
What's our ethos, what do we believe in? They broke
off them. You've got bats runnership, so they're gonna have
to just like just like the Lions didn't win for
fifty years. Bad ownership, yep, bad gems right.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
You you experienced it, you watched it some teams. If
you don't have those people in place, it doesn't matter.
You still do the same thing over and over.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
That's what I'm literally saying.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
They have to find the way to resetting and completely
can change the ethos.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
That's what the Lions did.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
They finally got some better ownership, they finally got some
better right, and they find.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
The Jets a did nothing since sixty whatever. But the
Jets have won a Super Bowl. Let's can we the
Lions sixty whatever? The Lions have never been to a
Super Bowl?
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Why are you telling me what what they did with
Joe Namath who is literally eighty something?
Speaker 3 (26:36):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
But I'm just saying an organization a caver never can't
only matter if se do you know that the Lions
are franchise and they're the only team that want it? Okay,
but we're talking about the Jets, who have equally done nothing.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
They want it with Joe Namath. That's if that's what
you're hanging your head over. What are we doing this about.
There are three teams that don't have.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
A Super Bowl and I'm just telling you the Lions
are one of them who looks that they're way close
to the winning one.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
Yeah, but I'm just trying to say it looks like
in the first modern no.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
No, no no, but they haven't won, and my.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Point, looks like they're set to win one for the
next five years at least compete for.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
We don't get what I'm saying to you, and what
I'm saying is bad organizations. This stuff can happen for
a long time because I saw it in Detroit. I
saw them hire Matt Millen. I saw them do the
same thing, draft the same wide receiver. I saw them
do higher dumb coaches and guys who were not.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Good over and over and over. And I'm trying to say,
I'm confused with what you saying because I'm agreeing.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
I'm saying the Lionleys finally got it right, and look
at them finally having an ethos away about it.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
But now they're right.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
What I'll never do is I'll never take away a
team you could you could discount Joe Namath and then
winning that is one of the biggest Super Bowl wins
by any team in any franchise, because it will be
Baltimore coach.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
My point so long ago they're the Indianapolis goes down
about the Baltimore coach. What's your history?
Speaker 4 (28:03):
What you don't know is that forced the merger between
the AFL and the NFL.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
That's how earth shadowing him, I pray. I'm just trying
to tell you don't.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
I hear, I hear this, but I pray no one
ever has to justify Kelvin's success by telling me something
I did in nineteen whatever context col context, that cannot
discount it as why I absolutely can't. Oh, I don't
want to talk about the championship.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Brought that up. I don't want to what you brought
a name, it's eighty years old.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
Let me know when you're done, because you literally ever,
I think there's nothing in the NFL with the Packers,
none of that matters. Like in the early days of
the NFL. What I'm saying is we're trying to win
trophy named after Should we take Vincent to take his
name off?
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Because because he's dead, you can keep bringing that up.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
If you want to try to take away from the
fact that Aaron Rodgers stinks, he absolutely stinks. You can
bring up Joe Namath if you want, you can bring
up Johnny.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
It's just a crusty trying to give me some I'm
trying to give you some education.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
I don't need that.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
We all know that they beat Johnny the Baltimore I'm
not going to let you discount a super Bowl when
your team has never won one.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Now stick a lion about the line.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
They haven't won last year? They choked that in the
nfship game. You show me, can you to take the choked?
It that because I didn't bring up the lions. He
did because you brought the lion.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
To take and he brought up the lions. Can you
bring up to take?
Speaker 1 (29:39):
When he told me about the nineteen sixty whatever the
Super Bowl, I'm talking the biggest Super Bowl upsets in the.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
History of this league is the it is.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
It is what forced the merger between the NFL and
the AFT.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Let me know what you've done talking about the Civil War.
Let me know when you're that's part of my history.
It is a part of my history. It beat us
and Johnny come lately.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
What happened last week in the greatest how about I
haven't won anything, so stop?
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Why did you bring the lions? Because that's what Rob
Parker literally, I love these a lion all right?
Speaker 4 (30:18):
Won the game today, would have five interceptions and the
other team going to take it out won the Super
Bowl last night.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Promise, And I'm gonna.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Johnny Cochrane and Rob Parker when it comes to defense
attorneys because I brought up that I brought up, nothing
about anything. All I simply said was the Jets whole
situation has been horrific, completely horrid, and they need to reset.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
That's all I say.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
You did correct me when I'm said, Joe name it
is eighty years old.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
After you brought him up. Let me tell you it
was not on my mind. Joe Namath. You brought up
Joe Namath. They absolutely need to pull the plug. And
it's okay. The Lions had to do what you mentioned it.
So many teams have had to do it. It's okay
to have recent is not a big deal. They'll be
fine if they do that at some point and decide
to move on. Speaking of moving on, we got Checho City.
(31:07):
We also got Monday night football preview as well. Getting
you ready, I'll see the Rams right now in front
of my face as they get ready to take on
the Dolphins.
Speaker 3 (31:14):

Speaker 4 (32:01):
On Friday I was two and one. My record is
now fifty four sixty and two. I am getting closer
back to five hundred. Yes, it's been a good little run.
Here uh, here we go a little Shekel City tonight.
I got the let's start with the best bet. I'm
gonna take the Dolphins plus two and a half at
the Rams. That's gonna be my best bet. Rams have
(32:24):
won three in a row. Dolphins have played well, they
have won, but they're playing to it helped, you know, yeah,
big time. Everybody thought tours didn't matter. Uh you saw
what that offense was without them, No what offense?
Speaker 3 (32:36):
That's right? All right.
Speaker 4 (32:37):
Also, I'm gonna take the Sacramento Kings minus two and
a half theuring San Antonio taken on the Spurs, and
I'm gonna take the Brooklyn Nets minus one and a
half at New Wallans they got injuries.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
No Zion Zion is like off man, It's sad.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
Something could have been when we see you Master, when
he was at Duke and before the sneaker blowout or whatever,
it was like, this dude's gonna be a my I.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Remember high school. He has one of the greatest high
school mixtapes of all time. He was piped up since
then looked like little It's amazing now, but it ain't
a mixtape tape.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
So here we go again.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
So we got the Net minus one and a half
in New Orleans, the Kings minus two and a half
in San Antonio with Wemby.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
Everybody knows.
Speaker 4 (33:24):
You know it's Wemby and the Dolphins plus two and
a half taking on the Rams here in Los Angeles
from Monday night football. And remember Calvin, which I'm telling
you who'd have bet on. I'm telling you who I
bet on. So we got a game right now looking
at it. You got Matthew Stafford on the that looks
like they're doing an interview. But you got Matthew Stafford
(33:44):
and the Rams versus the Dolphins, who are kind of
going in the opposite directions. Dolphins come into the season
with a lot of excitement, you know, a lot of
hopes going in. But but Twa goes down with his third concussion. Well,
I don't see that stat there. Twelve and two against
the Rams all time, including five wins.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Let's go great, shoot, I didn't see. I'm looking at
the bottom. Yeah, but you got the Rams right now.
They're three and one in their home games. They're at
home in this if won three straight, they got their
guys back. They're starting to look healthy in one of
those teams that we may be having a conversation in
three weeks. You know, Let's say they get it right
and all of a sudden, you know they're seven and four,
(34:21):
or you're like, oh, shoot, is just a repeat of
what they did last year when they got hot late
and became a dangerous team you wouldn't want to necessarily
play in the postseason. It really put up a really
good game against the Lions when Matthew Stafford went back
to Detroit and ended up being a really good game
between he Jerreed Goff and the Lions in the Rams.
So but the Rams are heading in the right direction again.
They're healthy, Matthew Stafford's playing well. Sean McVay has got
(34:44):
this team believing that, hey, we can do this again.
And obviously the Dolphins are just trying to get right.
They're just trying to stake some things. Win the Super Bowl, well,
get in the postseason. Then once you get in, you
see what happens. That's their goal is to get in.
The Dolphins, they're just trying to win some games, string together,
some win, string together, some confidence, start to believe that
they're what they're gonna be from last year.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Can Tyreek Hill get back on track and to us.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Start finding that rhythm even more and getting having those explosive,
crazy games like you had the last couple of seasons.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
That's what the Dolphins are trying to do right now.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
If you're Mike McDaniel, that's your only hope is it
straying together, win at it, one win at a time,
make the offense look good again, you know, and then
get some momentum probably towards the end of the season,
hopefully going into the next season, because that's all they
can really do. Sitting at two and six. I mean
they have to run off a miracle run to you know,
have a chance of the postseason right now.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
No, I mean it's it's more about just getting things
back in place. They've played well, They've had a couple
of games with the offense is good. They just haven't
been able to close it out or win the game
at the end. But I expect a good game from
the Dolphins. I got the Dolphins plus two and a
half points, so, but I have them winning the game tonight.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
I do.
Speaker 4 (35:53):
I don't expect the Rams to win four in a row.
They're good, but not great. And for whatever we and
the Dolphins have owned them, that is weird. That is
certain team.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
There's a certain teams like that.
Speaker 4 (36:06):
It doesn't it doesn't even record doesn't matter, Yeah, it
doesn't matter. Just certain teams seem to be able to
beat uh other teams, you know, like uh and have
some sort of hold over them. I don't know what
it is, but this is one of them. They were
right there, they beat the Dolphins against the Bills, who
are really good team.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
They were right well, they played well, they were right there.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
They covered you know, they were the six point hundred
doll They only lost by uh three their last second.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
You know that field goal there, Yeah, they were in
that game was winnable, definitely. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
So they again, if you're the Dolphins, you're just trying
to get right. And if I remember that game was
in Buffalo, Yeah, yeah, they're just if you're the Dolphins,
you're trying to get right again. So you can say,
all right, this feels good to even say they lose today,
but it's a heartbreaker missfield goal, but there again, they
score points.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
They're getting this thing going.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Tyreek Hill gets a buck fifteen and maybe a touchdown.
A risk injury, yeah, said, he's active. They I thought
that's all he was acting. He is.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
I'm just saying, but that could hurt him.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
But let's say he plays well and you're starting to say, man,
we're getting this thing going. We're feeling good. That's all
sometimes you can do. If you if you go back
to some time again, if you're the Rams last season,
getting things going towards the end, if you're the Lions
the season before, winning all those games towards the end,
if you're the Dolphins, that's my mindset, let's train together
a bunch of wins. Finish the season maybe seven to ten,
(37:26):
you know, something like that, or you know, maybe you know,
just go six and two or three towards the end
of the season so that wee can start to feel
good going in the next season, because that's basically where
they're at. I mean again, they'd have to go on
a crazy run to look at the postseason, and I
just don't see that actually happening.
Speaker 4 (37:42):
And I saw another number of Monday Night Football stafford
nineteen career touchdowns, fifteen interceptions. Wow, yeah, that sounds like
he played a lot of those years with those Lions
right there.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
I don't know how many Monday Night GET Football games
they were on.
Speaker 4 (37:55):
No, it was very like nah the season because I
went home for one and then they skip two or
three and then they pick all right, y'all hot again.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
You know, they'd be all right, what Calvin Johnson doing
this year? What are you doing? All right? Cool?
Speaker 1 (38:05):
He'll play speaking of what a game or what a
horrible game? Or was it a good game?
Speaker 3 (38:11):
I don't know, we'll talk about it. Fox Sports Radio

first day at school. Really I'm not look wow, flex
a little new outfit and you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
I think you know what it is. You know when
you're gonna.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Get an extra little DM and he knows he's gonna
get a little extra DEM that.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
I just wanted to say, you look so handsome.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
NBC I, NBC U I, NBA.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
All right, black and the Erry suit of the Juice,
the Berry Very Friday, the older the Berry, the sweet Juice.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
I thought it was all right? Can we talk? Yes?
We can? All right?
Speaker 4 (04:53):
And I want to say this. I'm not first guessing this. Okay,
I've been saying this forever.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Hey, where are we going with this?
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Sean Payton, who's the coach of the Denver Broncos.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
He was wrong and he allowed.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
His dislike for Russell Wilson personally to get in the
way of the football and the facts.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
It was about feelings.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
And you know what was the worst part is that
so many people bought into it because Sean Payton was
ready and decided to bite the bullet and say, just
get this guy out of here.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
I don't care how much money it costs.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
They took an unprecedented hit on a salary cap, right
because they just want to get Russell Wilson out of
my face.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Everybody. Oh, you know, last year we really didn't play
that well. We really looked at the nut.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Despite numbers because they weren't bad. But they still made
the case like he was no good. And I'm not
saying he's a super Bowl quarterback from from years ago
with Seattle, but you must admit you saw the win
yesterday in Washington, big time, three touchdowns, he had a pick,
(06:21):
He played well, and he's played well for for Pittsburgh.
What's the one thing they've been missing for the last five, six,
seven years.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
They're on the quarterback, right, somebody who could throw the
football downfield. That's that's the key. Key component right there
is that he he was solid all day and he
made the right three to four paud.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
I mean he threw one with the day. But that's
what you need different. That is the difference. That's what
I was saying earlier this year. I wasn't justin fields,
oh he can't play it and below in the league.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
But if you have these.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Two and you're just stealers, you haven't won a playoff
game in eight years.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
This is what you're looking for. Okay.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Now, all of a sudden, all the NFL analysts in
the talking heads, oh the stealers or Super Bowl contender
now and they were the same ones who were dissing,
Oh Russell Wilson. I don't know what they got him for.
Nobody wanted him, you remember that talk. Nobody wanted him.
He's washed. Oh he's so phony, Oh he's this, he's dad,
(07:23):
he's running from Mayor. The dude can still play football?
Can people come around? How much better does he have
to play? I'm not crowning him. I'm just saying you
were wrong, and you brought into Sean Payton's hate, dislike
whatever you want to call it, feelings because he won't
(07:44):
this guy, he didn't like that guy from day one
when he got there in Denver, and couldn't wait to
figure out a way to.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Get rid of him. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
I think Sean Payton had a control issue in that
if you don't do exactly what I want you to do,
then we have issues. And I think the reason why
he wanted a young quarterback in order somebody that he can,
you know, in bo Nixon, somebody that he can kind
of shape and mold, is so that it's almost like
a Manchurian candidate. Right, I can get you to do
exactly what I want you to do, be exactly what
I want you to be, whereas with Russell Wilson, I
(08:16):
have to work with you. You have years of experience, right,
so he can be like, well I used to do
this and this kind of works, and I don't want
to deal with that. If I'm Sean Payne, I want
you to be yes, sir, Yes, sir, this is what
we're gonna do now.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
On the flip side, I like everything you just said.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
The only thing I would add to that is sometimes
life is gonna life. And if you're Russell Wilson, maybe
people did believe he ain't got it, like he used
to he's washed, or he ain't this, he ain't that,
And it didn't help you. Starting to have people come out,
Oh I didn't like him as a teammate, and guys
you kind of thought would have had his back, had spoken,
you know, kind of ill against him. And maybe there
was some truth to what they felt. I'm not gonna
deny that, but it doesn't matter. And that sometimes in
(08:51):
life you got to remind people. Point Blake Pier, You've
been there in your career. Oh Rob can't do this.
Rob ain't that. And you got to remind people and
to me, everything you said may be true, but it's
incumbent upon you.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Rip two.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
One of my mentors and a mentor to a lot
of great people, Tom Brady, Michael Phelps and all. His
name is Greg Harden and he says, control the controllables.
And that's what Russell Wilson is doing right now. I
got a good position, I got a good team, I
got a coach.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
That believes in me.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Let me go out here and ball and control the
controllables and let the chips fall where they may. And
he's been able to reinvent himself again. Still early, but
I think he's doing everything he needs to do to
get this team right where they want to be and hopefully.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Contend with something.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
And we've seen this before, Rob, You know what, it
reminds me of Kurt Warner pauling out Toast of the
Town MVP A team for about two three years, greatest
show on turf, lighting it up, setting records were all, man,
Kurt Warner is the best? What an amazing story? Where's
Disney when you need it? And then he started to
flounder a little bit. Then they wanted to start somebody else.
(09:51):
Then he goes to the Giants, doesn't work out a
year or so, then they go and draft Eli Manning
and then they're like, no, we gotta we gotta get
Eli in here, and they kick him out. We say, oh,
he's pretty us watched. What does he do? He goes
to the Cardinals and gets him to one of the
best Super Bowls we'd ever seen and that and almost
won that when he ended up having a couple of
good years there and restored his career. And that's what
got him in the Hall of Fame was putting that
(10:12):
icing on the cake. So to me, that's what Russell
Wilson's doing right now, controlling his controllables, coming in, performing
with a really good team, and now he's right back
where he wants to be an opportunity to win it all.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
I don't disagree.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
But the Sean Payton campaign against Russell Wilson was about
feelings and that's what I told you think it was.
That's what he didn't like him. He thought he was
a prima donna. I think he had an office at
the facility, you knowing all that he did that. But
but Brett Farv had a separate locker room when he
played for the Jets. Okay, I could give you other
guys of that. Ilk coolve had similar stuff. And I'm
(10:46):
talking about the campaign to kind of poison the well
against Russell Wilson.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
That's what I'm He went out.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
Of his way to tell people nobody takes that kind
of and and you know what, if you wanted to
have your own quarterback and bring him along, that's fine,
But to act like last year he didn't do anything. Well,
he didn't him at the end. You remember the missed
the rest of the season, which was strange, which was
see everything else.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Still had a chance to win game warm they didn't.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
They didn't want him to get hurt, so because they
knew they were getting rid of him exactly. So they said,
that's that part right there, You got it. You might
have to see me in the parking lot. Well, but Igo,
that's the time when I need Russell Wilson to be
Russell Westbrook.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
But where the people Sean Payton? He was wrong.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
I mean, you can't look at Russell Wilson with the
Steelers and not look at this guy and go he
has something in the tank.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
He does He ain't.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
No, I'm not saying he a Hall of Fame quarterback tomorrow,
yesterday or whatever. But you cannot sit there and look
at this guy and believe he's the same guy that
Sean Payton went out of his way to say he
was washed and he's this, and he's that and all
those other things. Because he went to Pittsburgh. Uh, and
he sat behind right while he was injured or whatever.
(12:03):
Didn't make a belly. Oh I need to get back in.
I need to watch he got hazy. He didn't say anything.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
He's run this as well as you can right now.
He is playing very well, teams playing well. He you know,
there wasn't really any issues he seemed to have been
a mentor for Justin Fields and seems and Justin Fields
doesn't seemed to be receptible. Obviously, he didn't want to
lose a position.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
And even if you're Justin Fields and you're watching him now,
you can't even feel bad about yourself.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
I think that why he's just and he's still so
young justin fields that I think you're like, whether it
be here, whether it be somewhere else, he's in a
good position, meaning you've played well with Pittsburgh, you're learning,
and you're being tutored, tutored under a Hall of Fame quarterback.
And that whether again, whether it's two three years from
Pittsburgh with Pittsburg, or if they say we got a
great asset to trade in Justin Fields.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
I'm not really worried about Justin Fields. I think he'll
be fine. And let me give you these numbers. You ready,
this is how well he's playing. He's third in quarterback rating,
passer rating, right tenth in QB are, tenth in passing
yard per game, and the touchdown interception ratio six to one, Like,
don't you can't play any better than that? He's in
the top ten in all of these things and this
(13:09):
is like you know, long in the two years old.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Yeah, only thing I'll say quickly before he break.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
I think I think Sean Payton, if you sat him
down despite everything, we'll say, I'm happy where I am.
We almost won that game yesterday against the Chiefs, but
you did win, right. But I'm saying he would say,
we're a competitive team five and you're five. Five, We're
a competitive team. I got a young quarterback I believe in,
and I think he I think he was. I'm not
saying you would say I'm happy where I'm going.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
That's fine. This wasn't working.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
He and I I think sometimes fast case scenario Russell
Wilson's bawling teams winning, Sean Payton, who kind of you know,
put put that scenario out there, will say, CCC, I
got what I want. I got this new guy. My
team's playing just fine.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
But what he did to attack Russell Wilson in his career,
what he did if you ever listened to any of
the veteran players in the NFL, who will analysts now
until the vision was totally disrespectful to a guy won
a Super Bowl and went to a second one.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Especially I don't care playing.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
You know what I'm saying, like, that's that's totally disrespectful. So,
Sean Payton, I hope you looked at the quarterback rating
and passer ratings and stats and if you're still on
that nonsense about he's washed and he can't play and
he's a bad guy.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Whatever, that talk was, all right?

Kevin, you're putting in just like a glove.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Brother, my guy, If it don't fit, I must have quit.
Speaker 7 (16:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
I just want to say, man, Yeah, he disrespected He
just totally disrespected him.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Russell Wilson living.
Speaker 6 (16:17):
I saw him. You know they showed a segment where
he was king on the front on the side line
when he's fun his finger at.
Speaker 7 (16:21):
Him and everything.
Speaker 6 (16:22):
And he did the best thing. He didn't wistening, he
didn't say anything back. He played in the silent treatment.
Speaker 7 (16:29):
But you don't have to go that far.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
He's already you know, he's already had to preaking. See
how the or the gas taking him too much of
my money. So I just want to get I just
want to push him out the door. But they showed
another segment where bo Nicks came out the field and
Sean was trying to challenge him about then and bo
Nicks can't back down.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Both went him. He went at him. That was about
three weeks ago.
Speaker 6 (16:49):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, And Sean didn't be a little to him.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
He didn't like him before he got there. I mean
that's just fat. Yeah, you think, no doubt. Andre in Massachusetts, Up, Drey,
Thanks for the call. You're on the odd couple Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 7 (17:05):
How you doing. Thanks for taking the call. Listen. When
it comes to the Steelers and Mike Tomlin and what
he establishes, he says, the standard is the standard, okay,
and I'm gonna push you and I'm going to see
that you raise your level. But if and when you do,
my arm is around you, and it's always understood. This
is coming from a place of love and a place
of support. And we see what the results are with
(17:28):
Russell west Uh, with Russell Wilson. Excuse me, Sean Payton
did his whole my way of the highway, old school,
red in the face, screaming that you calling you out
your name way of doing things. Is that the reason
that they gave up seventy points to the Miami Dolphins. Thanks, thanks,
because you're you're all up in somebody's face.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Ra ra.
Speaker 7 (17:44):
And we see totally different situation when Bo Nicks this year,
a rookie gave it right back to him, okay and
stood him down, and you know wasn't having that way
of going about things. So in terms of Russell Wilson,
he's done it the hard way and you got to
tip your half of this guy. He had to work
for the job, he had to earn the job. Mike
Tomlin gave him that opportunity, you know, gave him the
(18:05):
benefit of the doubts, and you see the results. So
Sean Payton, you know how you do things, and you
know wash buckling, you know you need to kind of
look at yourself in the Mayyor and get with the
modern way of coaching and always have these players back.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Thank you so much, Thank you, no doubt.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
Randy in New Orleans, you're on the couple of Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 8 (18:23):
What's up, Randy, Uncle Rob Calvin? What's gone on all
right now? Calvin? I was literally thinking the same thing.
The rough situation reminds me of Kurt Wanda when he
started to fall off with the Giants and then he
started his career back up in Arizona.
Speaker 7 (18:38):
Right.
Speaker 8 (18:39):
I have to get rib the credits. During the summer,
you said Russ should start for the Steelers. But to
answer the question, it makes Sean look bad. I could
speak from a stand from a fan standpoint, watching Sean
for eighteen years and walla. We know that Sean has
a big ego and that he has to be the
biggest star on the team. But my main issue is this,
(19:00):
if he's supposed to be the quarterback whisperer that everybody
says he is, why couldn't he bring this out of rush?
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Thank you when he was.
Speaker 8 (19:08):
It's not like it's terrible numbers.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
To me, his numbers were, you know what, His numbers
were decent, But they tried to point like they were.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
No good like that's how they painted them.
Speaker 8 (19:21):
I figure if you couple that with a decent quarterback
and a quarterback whisperer, right, that's just turned your franchise around.
I just feel like Sean didn't want to coach him
from there.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
You go, Randy, Sometimes it don't matter what it looks like.
I just don't like you. And that was the issue.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
He just didn't like him.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
I want my own quarter They do this all the time,
but here's what their own coach. Coaches want their own quarterback.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
But you don't disrespect the guy's career and money to
water to tell people that he's no.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
You could just move on. You could just move on
without doing all that.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
There's a degree of respect to a guy who won
a Super Bowl and went to a second one. That's
all I'm said. You can make a change. Okay, that's
not what I'm against. It's how he handled Oh yeah,
I mean he's straight up to act like he can't
play again because we're gonna trade you, as if you're
going to trash. First of all, he wasn't playing trash. Secondly,
he's earned better respect than That's.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
What I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
Yeah, Tim Chili, Tim in Atlanta's up. Tim, You're in
the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio whatever.
Speaker 6 (20:21):
Smoky smoky, smoky.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Smoke dog o that Wow.
Speaker 5 (20:30):
But think about it, guys, If you think about it,
the same thing that Mike Toomland has in Pittsburgh. It's
the same situation that Sean Payton had a great defense,
a good young receiver and Jerry Judy yep it had
a good defensive. You know, good great defensive was holding
teams down, and Mike Towmland has the same thing. The
only difference is Mike Thomland is a better coach. Because
(20:51):
you ask most people who's the better coach, Sean Payton,
Mike Toomland. A lot of them say Sam Payton. I'm like, wow,
Mike Tooman has never had a losing Sea Uh. You know,
He's always uplifted his players, loved and their play for them,
their run through all a lot of guys and hated Sean.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Let me tell you this all the other stuff, Tim,
go look at the records of Mike McCarthy and Sean Payton.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
They're almost identical.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
I'm telling but the but the view of Sean Payton
is way up here and Mike McCarthy's way down.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Not to mention Sean, and they both won one Super Bowl.
They're both that Hall of Fame quarterbacks.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
But the difference is Mike McCarthy with Aaron Rodgers didn't
go seven and nine three years in a row like
they did in New Orleans with Drew Bree.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
No, Sean Payton is eating he's eating off that one
Super Bowl. He's eating off of that. Not to say
he had had a heck of a career. He's had
a heck of a career. Throw No, No, that was
the money right there.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
And by the way, I'm still mad at Chief didn't
go get Mike Williams with That's the story for another day.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
I mean, my name it.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
I called that out and Mike Roger I called that out.
All right, trendy right now, Still a lot left coming up.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio

Speaker 1 (22:07):
Man the Jets, you can say that plan hands landed.
I don't even know if it ever took off. That
jet ain't go. It might have just been stuck on
the runway. This thing is all types of bad right
now when you look at what's going on with the offense.
One of the things I've mentioned when we talked to
the offense on the d, the defense, the team as
a whole, one of the things I looked at all
(22:28):
the way it is they I don't mind we've talked
about this before. You see it in any sport, especially like,
for instance, you see it in the NBA with the
Lebron led team.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Right you kind of mortgage everything. You say, we're gonna
do this.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
We're gonna get move coaches, we're gonna go get some
some rich Paul guys, We're gonna do whatever we're gonna
do when we're gonna mortgage our future with this player.
That's what the Jets did with Aaron Rodgers, and I'm
actually not mad at it. He's a Hall of Famer
who has had an amazing career. They thought they were
a guy away, so they took the risk, They took
the calculator risk and said we'll pretty much provide everything
(23:00):
for him, and it just hasn't worked out. And now
it's to the place where I'm glad that it's we're here,
so that we can move on because after ten weeks
the offense looks the same as it has with Zach Wilson.
If they're literally one point more, one point more than
when they had Zack Wilson, the they haven't had any
more yards. They have like eight literally eight more yards
(23:23):
than when they had Zack Wilson. They've went out and
got DeVante Adams is not working. They've got Green Bay
receivers that's not working. They've changed coaches, it's not working.
They've changed offensive coordinators, it's not working. They have gone
down the entire checklist of what you can do to
make this a better situation, and it has not work.
And so at this point they have to start thinking
(23:45):
about the future. What are we going to do moving forward?
How can we press the reset button, like when you're
losing to a kid and they've all of a sudden
snatched the court out or hit the reset button on
a video game council. It's that time for the Jets
to go ahead and hit reset at the end of
this season.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
And figure out what's going to work.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Because defensively they're not great like they had been in
the last few years. Offensively they're trash, which doesn't make sense.
If on paper I told you all the players they have,
you would think, oh, this team putting up points.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Their not offensive line is.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
Bad, they can't run the football and Aaron Rodgers is
coming off of a major injury. But they but that
all is excuses in the NFL. But that's what But
that's those are facts though. But it's just like I'm
just saying, if you don't have an offensive line, I
don't care who's a quarterback.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
You got to protect the forty year old quarterback. You
got to be able to run the ball.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
So that.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Year old, yeah, but you.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
Got to be able to do other things so that
it works if you don't protect them like they didn't
in and in the first game ever where it was
hurried three out of the four snaps and he wound
up getting hurt on one of the snaps. And if
you don't have those things, I never thought this would work.
But I understand why they did it. No, just this
is the franchise that has won a Super Bow nineteen
(25:00):
sixty nine.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
I just said, mortgage, it's time to reset.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
They're not gonna reset until after the season is over.
They got to see I if there's any kind of
salvaging and seeing if this progresses, because you can still
draft a quarterback, but no one on the Jets or
Jets fans are looking at some fu. They've drafted Sam Darnold,
Zach Wilson, They've they've they've drafted uh, who's the other
(25:27):
guy in Seattle. I'm just forgetting Smith, Gino Smith. They've
drafted like nine quarterbacks. So you can sit here and go, well,
they're gonna start all over again, do that, But they're
not going to until after the season.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
I literally said, at the end of the season, you
yanked the court, how you press reset on the game council?
You start over and organizationally, you have to figure something out.
What's our ethos, what do we believe in? They broke
off them. You've got bats runnership, so they're gonna have
to just like just like the Lions didn't win for
fifty years. Bad ownership, yep, bad gems right.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
You you experienced it, you watched it some teams. If
you don't have those people in place, it doesn't matter.
You still do the same thing over and over.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
That's what I'm literally saying.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
They have to find the way to resetting and completely
can change the ethos.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
That's what the Lions did.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
They finally got some better ownership, they finally got some
better right, and they find.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
The Jets a did nothing since sixty whatever. But the
Jets have won a Super Bowl. Let's can we the
Lions sixty whatever? The Lions have never been to a
Super Bowl?
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Why are you telling me what what they did with
Joe Namath who is literally eighty something?
Speaker 3 (26:36):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
But I'm just saying an organization a caver never can't
only matter if se do you know that the Lions
are franchise and they're the only team that want it? Okay,
but we're talking about the Jets, who have equally done nothing.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
They want it with Joe Namath. That's if that's what
you're hanging your head over. What are we doing this about.
There are three teams that don't have.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
A Super Bowl and I'm just telling you the Lions
are one of them who looks that they're way close
to the winning one.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
Yeah, but I'm just trying to say it looks like
in the first modern no.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
No, no no, but they haven't won, and my.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Point, looks like they're set to win one for the
next five years at least compete for.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
We don't get what I'm saying to you, and what
I'm saying is bad organizations. This stuff can happen for
a long time because I saw it in Detroit. I
saw them hire Matt Millen. I saw them do the
same thing, draft the same wide receiver. I saw them
do higher dumb coaches and guys who were not.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Good over and over and over. And I'm trying to say,
I'm confused with what you saying because I'm agreeing.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
I'm saying the Lionleys finally got it right, and look
at them finally having an ethos away about it.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
But now they're right.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
What I'll never do is I'll never take away a
team you could you could discount Joe Namath and then
winning that is one of the biggest Super Bowl wins
by any team in any franchise, because it will be
Baltimore coach.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
My point so long ago they're the Indianapolis goes down
about the Baltimore coach. What's your history?
Speaker 4 (28:03):
What you don't know is that forced the merger between
the AFL and the NFL.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
That's how earth shadowing him, I pray. I'm just trying
to tell you don't.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
I hear, I hear this, but I pray no one
ever has to justify Kelvin's success by telling me something
I did in nineteen whatever context col context, that cannot
discount it as why I absolutely can't. Oh, I don't
want to talk about the championship.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Brought that up. I don't want to what you brought
a name, it's eighty years old.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
Let me know when you're done, because you literally ever,
I think there's nothing in the NFL with the Packers,
none of that matters. Like in the early days of
the NFL. What I'm saying is we're trying to win
trophy named after Should we take Vincent to take his
name off?
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Because because he's dead, you can keep bringing that up.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
If you want to try to take away from the
fact that Aaron Rodgers stinks, he absolutely stinks. You can
bring up Joe Namath if you want, you can bring
up Johnny.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
It's just a crusty trying to give me some I'm
trying to give you some education.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
I don't need that.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
We all know that they beat Johnny the Baltimore I'm
not going to let you discount a super Bowl when
your team has never won one.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Now stick a lion about the line.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
They haven't won last year? They choked that in the
nfship game. You show me, can you to take the choked?
It that because I didn't bring up the lions. He
did because you brought the lion.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
To take and he brought up the lions. Can you
bring up to take?
Speaker 1 (29:39):
When he told me about the nineteen sixty whatever the
Super Bowl, I'm talking the biggest Super Bowl upsets in the.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
History of this league is the it is.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
It is what forced the merger between the NFL and
the AFT.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Let me know what you've done talking about the Civil War.
Let me know when you're that's part of my history.
It is a part of my history. It beat us
and Johnny come lately.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
What happened last week in the greatest how about I
haven't won anything, so stop?
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Why did you bring the lions? Because that's what Rob
Parker literally, I love these a lion all right?
Speaker 4 (30:18):
Won the game today, would have five interceptions and the
other team going to take it out won the Super
Bowl last night.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Promise, And I'm gonna.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Johnny Cochrane and Rob Parker when it comes to defense
attorneys because I brought up that I brought up, nothing
about anything. All I simply said was the Jets whole
situation has been horrific, completely horrid, and they need to reset.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
That's all I say.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
You did correct me when I'm said, Joe name it
is eighty years old.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
After you brought him up. Let me tell you it
was not on my mind. Joe Namath. You brought up
Joe Namath. They absolutely need to pull the plug. And
it's okay. The Lions had to do what you mentioned it.
So many teams have had to do it. It's okay
to have recent is not a big deal. They'll be
fine if they do that at some point and decide
to move on. Speaking of moving on, we got Checho City.
(31:07):
We also got Monday night football preview as well. Getting
you ready, I'll see the Rams right now in front
of my face as they get ready to take on
the Dolphins.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
We'll do that.

All right.
Speaker 4 (32:01):
On Friday I was two and one. My record is
now fifty four sixty and two. I am getting closer
back to five hundred. Yes, it's been a good little run.
Here uh, here we go a little Shekel City tonight.
I got the let's start with the best bet. I'm
gonna take the Dolphins plus two and a half at
the Rams. That's gonna be my best bet. Rams have
(32:24):
won three in a row. Dolphins have played well, they
have won, but they're playing to it helped, you know, yeah,
big time. Everybody thought tours didn't matter. Uh you saw
what that offense was without them, No what offense?
Speaker 3 (32:36):
That's right? All right.
Speaker 4 (32:37):
Also, I'm gonna take the Sacramento Kings minus two and
a half theuring San Antonio taken on the Spurs, and
I'm gonna take the Brooklyn Nets minus one and a
half at New Wallans they got injuries.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
No Zion Zion is like off man, It's sad.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
Something could have been when we see you Master, when
he was at Duke and before the sneaker blowout or whatever,
it was like, this dude's gonna be a my I.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Remember high school. He has one of the greatest high
school mixtapes of all time. He was piped up since
then looked like little It's amazing now, but it ain't
a mixtape tape.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
So here we go again.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
So we got the Net minus one and a half
in New Orleans, the Kings minus two and a half
in San Antonio with Wemby.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
Everybody knows.
Speaker 4 (33:24):
You know it's Wemby and the Dolphins plus two and
a half taking on the Rams here in Los Angeles
from Monday night football. And remember Calvin, which I'm telling
you who'd have bet on. I'm telling you who I
bet on. So we got a game right now looking
at it. You got Matthew Stafford on the that looks
like they're doing an interview. But you got Matthew Stafford
(33:44):
and the Rams versus the Dolphins, who are kind of
going in the opposite directions. Dolphins come into the season
with a lot of excitement, you know, a lot of
hopes going in. But but Twa goes down with his third concussion. Well,
I don't see that stat there. Twelve and two against
the Rams all time, including five wins.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Let's go great, shoot, I didn't see. I'm looking at
the bottom. Yeah, but you got the Rams right now.
They're three and one in their home games. They're at
home in this if won three straight, they got their
guys back. They're starting to look healthy in one of
those teams that we may be having a conversation in
three weeks. You know, Let's say they get it right
and all of a sudden, you know they're seven and four,
(34:21):
or you're like, oh, shoot, is just a repeat of
what they did last year when they got hot late
and became a dangerous team you wouldn't want to necessarily
play in the postseason. It really put up a really
good game against the Lions when Matthew Stafford went back
to Detroit and ended up being a really good game
between he Jerreed Goff and the Lions in the Rams.
So but the Rams are heading in the right direction again.
They're healthy, Matthew Stafford's playing well. Sean McVay has got
(34:44):
this team believing that, hey, we can do this again.
And obviously the Dolphins are just trying to get right.
They're just trying to stake some things. Win the Super Bowl, well,
get in the postseason. Then once you get in, you
see what happens. That's their goal is to get in.
The Dolphins, they're just trying to win some games, string together,
some win, string together, some confidence, start to believe that
they're what they're gonna be from last year.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Can Tyreek Hill get back on track and to us.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Start finding that rhythm even more and getting having those explosive,
crazy games like you had the last couple of seasons.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
That's what the Dolphins are trying to do right now.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
If you're Mike McDaniel, that's your only hope is it
straying together, win at it, one win at a time,
make the offense look good again, you know, and then
get some momentum probably towards the end of the season,
hopefully going into the next season, because that's all they
can really do. Sitting at two and six. I mean
they have to run off a miracle run to you know,
have a chance of the postseason right now.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
No, I mean it's it's more about just getting things
back in place. They've played well, They've had a couple
of games with the offense is good. They just haven't
been able to close it out or win the game
at the end. But I expect a good game from
the Dolphins. I got the Dolphins plus two and a
half points, so, but I have them winning the game tonight.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
I do.
Speaker 4 (35:53):
I don't expect the Rams to win four in a row.
They're good, but not great. And for whatever we and
the Dolphins have owned them, that is weird. That is
certain team.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
There's a certain teams like that.
Speaker 4 (36:06):
It doesn't it doesn't even record doesn't matter, Yeah, it
doesn't matter. Just certain teams seem to be able to
beat uh other teams, you know, like uh and have
some sort of hold over them. I don't know what
it is, but this is one of them. They were
right there, they beat the Dolphins against the Bills, who
are really good team.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
They were right well, they played well, they were right there.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
They covered you know, they were the six point hundred
doll They only lost by uh three their last second.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
You know that field goal there, Yeah, they were in
that game was winnable, definitely. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
So they again, if you're the Dolphins, you're just trying
to get right. And if I remember that game was
in Buffalo, Yeah, yeah, they're just if you're the Dolphins,
you're trying to get right again. So you can say,
all right, this feels good to even say they lose today,
but it's a heartbreaker missfield goal, but there again, they
score points.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
They're getting this thing going.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Tyreek Hill gets a buck fifteen and maybe a touchdown.
A risk injury, yeah, said, he's active. They I thought
that's all he was acting. He is.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
I'm just saying, but that could hurt him.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
But let's say he plays well and you're starting to say, man,
we're getting this thing going. We're feeling good. That's all
sometimes you can do. If you if you go back
to some time again, if you're the Rams last season,
getting things going towards the end, if you're the Lions
the season before, winning all those games towards the end,
if you're the Dolphins, that's my mindset, let's train together
a bunch of wins. Finish the season maybe seven to ten,
(37:26):
you know, something like that, or you know, maybe you know,
just go six and two or three towards the end
of the season so that wee can start to feel
good going in the next season, because that's basically where
they're at. I mean again, they'd have to go on
a crazy run to look at the postseason, and I
just don't see that actually happening.
Speaker 4 (37:42):
And I saw another number of Monday Night Football stafford
nineteen career touchdowns, fifteen interceptions. Wow, yeah, that sounds like
he played a lot of those years with those Lions
right there.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
I don't know how many Monday Night GET Football games
they were on.
Speaker 4 (37:55):
No, it was very like nah the season because I
went home for one and then they skip two or
three and then they pick all right, y'all hot again.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
You know, they'd be all right, what Calvin Johnson doing
this year? What are you doing? All right? Cool?
Speaker 1 (38:05):
He'll play speaking of what a game or what a
horrible game? Or was it a good game?
Speaker 3 (38:11):
I don't know, we'll talk about it. Fox Sports Radio
