Speaker 4 (03:13):
By the way, while you talking about it, don't act

people falling, hurting themselves, the good people, normal people, not thieves.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
Which ones the videos you were watching? People just falling

What's going on with that? I say, you know, get

(03:49):
I'll be right back. Someone's got to say something.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
I'm hurting. It's Alex dying in the background is what
took me out. Oh my gosh, robe Rogerie wanted to Yeah,
that was his official he was.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
He was ready to fight Joe. Rob, I've never not
gave a Christmas gift.

Speaker 4 (04:08):
He just took your your Ralph Lawing shirt that he's
found at Ros's back.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
Exactly.

Speaker 4 (04:14):
It is taken back. You just lost your your daughter's gifts.
Tak him back everything.

Speaker 5 (04:18):
By the way, I did find that the owl boat,
the ones you got from my baby, still doesn't fit her,
but found it in the Joy the other day, which
he doesn't finish. She's tiny, she's still a little tiny. Yeah,
because that's for twelve months. Yeah, yeah, I'm excited for
her to wear I was. She's one, right, yeah, but
she's still that's crazy. That's been a year, right, that
is crazy. But I'll send you the picture when she

(04:41):
finally fits in it.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
Okay, Now he's trying.

Speaker 6 (04:44):
To say.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
Always nice to you, Rob. That was Alex was like,
you just say that joke, Robbie, say the joke. That
was a good one.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
I tell Alex in the background, Alice's supposed to be
my god after after what he did say, that's what I.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
Got. I'm the professional fluffer. I fluffed. Rob G is
so good there, that was great. You are a professional fluffer.
Oh my god, Wait what I do I start getting fluffed?
An you already know? Unbelievable. Dang it, Alex Sauce, you're
just fluffing everybody.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Swing some fluffed this way, unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
We got to talk about some. Rob set up the topic. Yeah,
Rob G, please, speaking of getting fluffed.

Speaker 5 (05:32):
If Bill Belichick had his way, he might be getting
fluffed in the NFL.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
He might know the way he been at. I don't
know the decisions. Been some fluffing going on.

Speaker 5 (05:43):
Friend of the show, longtime NFL insider Josina Anderson put
out a tweet that sent shockwaves through the football world
earlier on Tuesday, where she said that there are at
least two, if not three teams in the NFL right
now that have a lot of interest in Bill Belichick

(06:03):
to become their next head coach starting in twenty twenty six.
She adds that Bill has a lot of fans amongst
owners in the NFL, so don't be surprised to see
him get some more love during this next hiring cycle.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
That to me, I believe.

Speaker 4 (06:20):
I do believe they are owners right who maybe don't
quite get the ins and outs, the x's and o's
and just the system and running a program. And I
think they will look at Bill Belichick and simply go,
look he had.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
You know, all the success. Look he's got all these titles.
Is Bill Belichick.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
And I think that's why you need a general manager
to say, hey, owner, go ahead and just own, you know,
but make some money for the team.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
Let me run the team.

Speaker 4 (06:44):
And I don't want to bring him in because number one,
we know Bill Belichick is usually gonna come with power.
I want to have some power. I want to be
in control. I want to gi the draft picks. I
want to be in the decisions, some personnel decisions. You
don't want that from this version of Bill Belichick. We've
seen it didn't work in New England. We're seeing he
lost his fastball a little bit in New England. And
now we clearly sees what four and seven would you

(07:06):
n c and all the distractions that come along with it,
which are not guaranteed to go away, which is what
he was distraction free for so long.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
That's not the case anymore.

Speaker 4 (07:15):
So I absolutely get why owners they're probably cool with
him just from a bird's eye view. They only think
of him as a winner. But gms know what it is.
And this is why for the most part, aside from
I know Rob always brings up he had that opportunity
with the Hawks. Aside from that, I talk to people
that job.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
I believe. I'm that serious, like talk to people.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
I believe you when the business said that job was
his and he talked his way out of.

Speaker 4 (07:38):
It, And that's my point. I think he would just
want too much, and I think general managers know that.
I think owners just oh, it's Bill, it's Bill. Let's Bill.
Oh we might win because we'll get Bill and we
can finally have a winning situation. GMS are like, Nah,
that's not the answer. That's not our guy. And that's
why I think he only had one or two offers previously.
And I think he felt offended by that because you know,
it's almost after after wall out undid. This is how

(07:59):
y'all treat me, right, I've been the man in this
league for so long. This is how I This is
the thanks I get. And I think that's why partly
why I think he believed it took the UNC job.
Was like, I'll show you element to it. So I'm out.
We've talked about it before.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
Dude.

Speaker 4 (08:13):
It's okay to go off in the sunset, Go be
with the grandkids, be with your young lady, go do
your thing. Like it's okay to be a consultant. But
you don't have what.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
I can see him getting a job, and I'm gonna
tell you that I'm not. I'm gonna tell you that's
I can tell you why.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Look at all the bad coaches here, wrong, Look look
at all the back they're everywhere. Miami, Miami. What they
got going on there with the Jets?

Speaker 3 (08:43):
Right? The Giants gonna have an opening. They're gonna have
an opening. Uh.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
The Raiders, they're gonna replace one old guy with another.
I mean, like, Rob g it's your worst nightmare. I
mean it's it's it's they're going to have senior coffee
night every night at a Raiders game.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
Fifty cent. Yes, it is unbelievable. So I'm not.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
I don't put it past somebody saying, hey, that college thing, man,
that ain't really for you. You belong back in the NFL.
He should have never taken that job. You remember, I
thought it was ridiculous. I can't believe. Yeah, we voth
for on that. Why would he not try to get
the all time record first of all? And he should
have just even if he sat out the one year

(09:30):
and they come back, Yeah did TV and we gain
more of a personality and more quote unquote likable, right
because he had some stuff to say and then move
on from there.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
It was weird.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
I wouldn't hire him because I wouldn't hire Pete Carroll.
I thought, you know, the window I closed on him,
and you see what the disaster is there. And I
think you'd have the same thing with Bill Belichick. I
just think that we're at a point where there comes up.
You have a shelf life, right. The milk says up
until November twenty fifth, that's today. Don't try to drink

(10:09):
it tomorrow you ever push it.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
I don't drink milk, but you never have milk.

Speaker 4 (10:16):
I used to get forced to drink milk when I
was I remember I couldn't wait to turn eight or
nine because our daycare lady, why don't you like milk?

Speaker 3 (10:23):
Never like milk?

Speaker 4 (10:24):
Come to find out, my dad's whole side of the
family my mom always say, just like your dad's side,
you're you're like she poured orange juice in her cereals
like that was just how she had here other people
just like you know, you pull a board cerre, I
just eat it, like just grab it like a snack.
K No cookies, no, no, when I when I brought
up the peanut butter and jelly, that's why milk.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
That's why you were talking about all you don't need milk.
I was that long though, but no.

Speaker 4 (10:49):
But that was glass of milk, like just the oh
glass of milk or a cup of milk or bowl
of milk. Honest, the goodness, holl of my probably thirty five.
Oh that's crazy years, you.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
Know what more for us because I if I'm having
cookies or cake or I gotta have milk.

Speaker 7 (11:04):
I have to have milk. Then she rubs your belly
and puts you to sleep. Just on what I said.
I had the crumbs all in my chest hairs. She
rubbed my belly to live to that snore.

Speaker 3 (11:16):
Do you not like the taste of milk?

Speaker 4 (11:18):
Or is not the worst? Like now that I could
if I had to drink a glass like a little
Dixie cup.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
But I grew up with my buddy Billy, who didn't
like to He liked the taste of milk, but didn't
like the smell of milk, so.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
He used to hold his nose. That's how I did it.
She did and drink.

Speaker 4 (11:37):
That was me when my daycare lady would say, you
have to drink this. Ellen, I don't even know if
she's still with us on her God bless her that.

Speaker 7 (11:44):
If she's not, she wound up to go and on
having a TV show and being mean.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
To let me tell you about these kids and one
who don't like milk. That's a different Ellen. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (11:53):
I used to plug my nose and she had a
little dixie cup and I had to knock back some milk.
But I don't like milk. Isn't as bad as two things,
the only two things on earth. I don't like ranch
in sour cree. I hate ranch. I hate ranch.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (12:09):
If you were like, here's five thousand dollars, but you

Speaker 10 (17:11):
Hey, evening, Fellas, listen again tonight.

Speaker 3 (17:13):
Appreciate you as always.

Speaker 10 (17:15):
Congratulations Drive. It's always nice to be recognized. I hope
you win.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
Thank you, my man, Brian. That's the way I look
at it. You know, I don't have to be on
the list. It's nice to be on the list.

Speaker 4 (17:25):
I love him. If he loses, he gonna be so mad.
They're all dead to him. All the butters are dead.

Speaker 10 (17:32):
As far as bella chick goes. Fellas, I think you're
both right, Calvin. His time has passed. But you know,
I ain't been covering the league for forty years like Ron,
but I've been watching it and I cannot remember a
time when there's been such bad coaching in this league.
I mean, just look at this past weekend. I mean
that guy that interim coach for the Giants. If I

(17:53):
was the owner, man, general manager, I would have walked
him to the door with his stubble bag, gave him
his last fate can walk him out. I mean, so,
I do think Belichick's gonna get a shot. I mean,
I'm a I'm a couch chair coach and I'm watching
some of these calls this year and I'm just stunned. Fellas.
I can't believe it.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
Brian, Brian, You're spot on. The coaching has been awful.
I almost texted our check, dude. I don't know if
it's a copycat league. And I'll give shout out to
John Harbaugh.

Speaker 4 (18:23):
He was kind of doing it before Dan Campbell became
a coach, but Dan Campbell kind of has made it
a topic of conversation. Coachers are not kicking field goals
to their own detriment now, like not be your league.

Speaker 3 (18:35):
Neighbors brought that up.

Speaker 4 (18:36):
What what was the field goal that would I should
have texted our group over the weekend, I was watching
these games, dude. There were so many games where they
kept going for it and fourth down this and fourth
and four on their own side of the and they're
not punting or not kicking field goals. I'm like, what
are teams doing nowadays, and because now it's like cool.
I'm like, I'm gonna show you how cool am, how hip,
how much I know my team. I'm not even gonna

(18:58):
go for it. I'm like, don't over you?

Speaker 3 (19:00):
Is it?

Speaker 4 (19:01):
Use it when you can get an extra down every
now and again, you know, extra possession, but kick the
field goal sometimes.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
My goodness about Sean Sean in Sacramento. You're on the
couple of Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 11 (19:13):

Killing man with that out there? Man for Thanksgiving? But
on this topic, real quick, man, No, I am not
bringing back Bill Belichick. Anybody who's watched him in the
last two years knows he's not running the show. That's
his twenty two year old girlfriend running the show over there.
And my man doesn't love the game anymore. He's just
trying to get all of his all of his kin on.
He's trying to get all of his ex coaches on

(20:33):
instead of rinse and repeat. Let's bring in some brothers
of color who have earned their spots into the NFL
mainstream as coaches, and let's stop bringing in the same old,
good old boys from yesteryear.

Congratulations, thank you, we'll learn giving you your flowers. Listen.
I will bring in.

Speaker 9 (21:04):
Belichick as a head coach, but not as a GM.

Speaker 6 (21:08):
I think as a coach he could establish the culture.
He could do really well things of that nature. Listen.
I saw Bill Belichick out coach the heck out of
Sean McVay. He put a virtual so Chester and mansus
Opa services in in the Super Bowl.

Speaker 3 (21:24):
There's no doubt. There's no doubt about that.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
That was that team with Jared Golf average thirty five
points a game and they got three points in the
Super Bowl.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
I'm with you on that, Orlando, but that was what
eight years ago.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
No, I'm just saying that Bill when it comes to
defense and all that, he's distracted by it by the girlfriend.

Speaker 3 (21:44):
What Bill, you know, she ain't going nowhere? I mean, Orlando,
she ain't going nowhere.

Speaker 6 (21:50):
I think that's the biggest here. I never seen Bill
distracted like.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
I know. It's unbelievable, Orlando, unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (22:01):
We're on a Cincinnati because he was always.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
About not having destry. This is like urban urban Meyer

I appreciate it, man, it takes some time with us,
I know. Every year Sean always tells his Thanksgiving story.
You got one?

Speaker 6 (23:19):
Yeah, yeah, So you know, I moved to New York,
and you know, I didn't have any friends, and people
had a lot of pity on me and everything. And
Rob calls me and say, hey, man, what are you doing.
I'm like, man, I'm just crying and don't have anybody
as mun't you come on over my house and enjoy
Thanksgiving with my family and let me tell you something, man,

(23:40):
it was a great, great day. I really appreciate it.
I always tell Rob, I'll never forget that day.

Speaker 5 (23:47):
Uh so.

Speaker 6 (23:48):
Yeah. And by the way, man, you know Rob, you know,
if you if you still got some food left over,
you know, you can toss it my way.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
No, well, I'll be here. I'll be here working. Well,
we're gonna have some lobster mac and cheese in the studio.

Speaker 6 (24:04):
Lops their macon cheese. That's not traditional thing, that is it.

Speaker 3 (24:07):
But you know that's what they're doing. I tell you
the kids are doing now. Sean, Yeah, Rogie, Sean is
a voter robs in.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
Yeah, Hey, Sean, the NBA off to I don't know,
predictable start. I don't know what unpredictable like the team.
Some of the teams we expected to be really good
or really good. Some of the team we expect to
be really bad. What early on has surprised you? Because

(24:37):
I'm serious when I say the teams that I expected
to be really good are good.

Speaker 6 (24:41):
Yeah, you know, Robert, with the start of every season,
you could pretty much take I don't know ten teams
and just say, you know, thanks for the good try,
good effort, because they're not going anywhere. You could look
at the Washington Wizards and know pretty much that you know,
they turned the team over the youth. The Pacers obviously
in this situation, no Halla Burt, you know, the Celtics,

(25:02):
no Jason Tatum. So though those teams you figured that
which struggle and they has. But then you have the
Toronto Raptors, you know, sitting number two in the East,
and maybe a slightly bigger surprise that Pistons are leading
everybody in the East. But you know, when I look
at the Eastern Conference, you know, you could say, quote unquote,
these teams are surprised. But the bottom line is the

(25:23):
Eastern Conference week it's upper grabs. Yeah, you know, and
particularly the way the Knicks have played, I figured that
they would be a little bit higher, but you know,
they had a coaching change. It looks like it's a
transition there. So you know, I think if you look
at the East, it's a little bit more of a surprise,
a little bit more unpredictable. But you know, again, when
you removed Boston, Indiana from the equation, and then Giannis

(25:45):
has been hurt too, so Milwaukee's you know, it's temporary
at least out of the way. The East is where
all your surprised. Now the West, that's a whole different story.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
And let's before we go to the west. The Pistons
have run off a lot of winds thirteen in a row, okay,
a lot of bad teams, and I'm not knocking them.

Speaker 3 (26:00):
They got a win. Who's on the schedule. What do
you make of this run?

Speaker 1 (26:04):
To be able to win a Baker's dozen, you know,
and in any league, it's got to be considered impressive.
But but if you look at it, I'd say nine
of those wins against bad teams, but it doesn't matter
where do they fit in in your equation in the East.

Speaker 6 (26:18):
Yeah, I'm glad you put it in context, because you know,
only what three teams during the streak, They've only beaten
three teams that currently have a winning record, right, I.

Speaker 3 (26:26):
Mean, I know if you look at the schedule, I mean,
and I'm not hating on them.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
They're playing the Eastern Conference a lot of times and
they're killing them, and they're beating them.

Speaker 9 (26:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (26:35):
Yeah, well, well a couple of things. Kate Cunningham is playing.
I'm not going to necessarily say also because he's not
playing better than your kids or Shay or Luca, probably
not even Ni.

Speaker 3 (26:45):
He's playing all Star. You mean MVP level.

Speaker 4 (26:48):
Now he's playing all that's yeah, I'm sorry, Yeah, I'm
going to say, now, hold on playing level.

Speaker 6 (26:54):
No, no, obviously MVP level. But you know, look he's
he's and you know, no disrespect to him. Those are
three or four really good players.

Speaker 10 (27:03):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (27:03):
The mere fact that he can be like, you know,
top fiver in that conversation is says a lot about
Kate and the way he has taken over that team. Uh,
you know a short time. You know, this team a
couple of years ago, but not a couple of years ago.
Was that, Yeah, a couple of years ago they lost
twenty eighth straight and look at the look at the
street through on right now. So and then of course

(27:24):
Jalen Durham who's now talked about All Stars. Now he's
playing at All Star level.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (27:28):
He's kind of like a throwback big Man and that
you know, he kind of thrives in the post. You know,
he's real physical, Uh, you know, a little bit intimidating,
got a little bit of got a little bit of
Pistons bad boy in him, but not in a reckless way.
Uh So I think that's been great. But you know, uh,
otherwise they don't have I mean, it's not like anybody

(27:51):
who would just like, you know, blow you away on
the Pistons. But m JB. Bigger Staff a lot of
credit he's got, He's got these guys playing. But I
still wants to see this team over the next couple
weeks when the schedule gets pretty tough. Let's have this
conversation in a couple weeks.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
Let me say this too real quick, and I'm not
trying to bash the many Williams and what went on,
But I never believed the Pistons were as bad as
what we saw. Like I thought that was an indictment
of Moni Williams when they lost twenty eight in a
row and not in this league. Seriously, there was something
really wrong there, and I know he didn't originally want

(28:28):
to go to Detroit and he took the money because
they offered him so much money and whatnot. But like
the turnaround should have happened, because there's no way sewing
they should have been as bad as they were.

Speaker 3 (28:40):
I was stunned at how awful that team was.

Speaker 6 (28:43):
Whenever I see a team lose twenty eight games, I
just think they just pack it in.

Speaker 3 (28:49):
Right, I mean, it's impossible, rights.

Speaker 6 (28:53):
It's impossible. I mean really, when you really think about that,
you really got to try really really hard to lose,
or maybe not try it all really in this case,
to lose twenty eighth straight. I just think that, you know,
there's a lot of dysfunction front office to function, coaching
staff dysfunction, and any other thing is when you get
clowned on, you know, on Internet and all that stuff,

(29:14):
and you know you're kind of, you know, you kind
of like give up, you kind of surrender, and you know, again,
I agree with you, But money, he should have never
taken that job he took. Whenever you just take jobs
for money's always a bad decision. It's a bad decision
because your heart's not in it. Your heart's not in it,
and you could see it during that streak. I'm not

(29:35):
saying Money laid down, but he just he didn't have
the motivational forces to stop that streak.

Speaker 3 (29:41):
And j does. For sure. You can tell they buy
into what JB's teaching for sure.

Speaker 6 (29:45):
Hey, absolutely absolutely, Sean Paul.

Speaker 4 (29:48):
Our guests. Uh, se Paul, I know I was gonna
do it. I told you I was gonna do that.
Sean Powell, our guests. Hey, Sean, let me let me
go here. We just talking to the East'm go to West.
Form minute a team that just give me the I
love a team that I was high on, especially the
addition of kd is Houston. They've been even winning without
him last couple games, but they look really good. I'm

(30:08):
in Thompson is one of the better rising stars in
his league. But are they on Denver level, which maybe
I think they're right there. But are they really on
a Thunder level or is this just the Thunders to
win again in the West and really ultimately the NBA
as a whole.

Speaker 6 (30:23):
Yeah, I wouldn't put him on a Thunders level. I
think the one glaring issue they have right now with
a point guard not having a point guard obviously Fred
van Vliet. Yeah, you know, I got hurt this summer.
That's a big loss for number one. Fred is a
very good leader, fiery leader and all that, and he's
a stabilizing force of it at point guard. Look, he's

(30:43):
not going to be a guy who's going to shoot
lights out, high percentage average, thirty points, none of that.
But more often than not, he's going to make the
smart play, the good play, and he would have fit
very well next to KD. And it looks like that's
probably not going to happen this season, although he could
come back, but who knows. I'm not going to put
them on. I don't think anybody is on Oklahoma City's level.

(31:05):
Let's put this way. I don't think Oklahoma City of
twenty twenty four, twenty five is on this team's level.
How about that, the team that won a championship last
year is not on this team's level. And you know,
I when you're missing an All NBA player, I'm talking
about Jaylen Williams and you're still rolling like this. You

(31:27):
got that that bench that you could split a Oklahoma
City in two. I bet you both teams make playoffs.

Speaker 3 (31:33):
That they're they're that deep. I agree with you that
so is their only rival Denver. Is that is that
the only hope for the league?

Speaker 6 (31:40):
I think right now it is. I think, you know,
I'll have to see whether I don't think. I'm not
so sure the Lakers for real, But we got to
see Houston, whether they Houston could make a trade for
a point guard. I don't know what their can salary
cap situation and who they can get at this late hour.
We'll have to see. I don't see anybody else, but
you know, those may say three and have I'm not
so sure of an account Lakers fool yet. I got

(32:02):
to see a larger sample size with Lebron James joining
that team. But yeah, I think it's uh. I think
it comes down to Oklahoma City and Denver.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
Right now, and one and one last thing real quick,
we'll run out of time. Do we see any kind
of punishment for the Clippers with the uh Kawhi Leonard deal?
Or is there gonna wait till the off season or
act like it didn't happen or I don't have enough
information or evidence.

Speaker 3 (32:29):
It just seems like there's no movement or anything going
on with that.

Speaker 6 (32:33):
Yeah, Rob, you know this is the old school reporter
and me. It says, let's just sit and wait. Uh,
you know, let's let the investigation, you know, take its course.
Uh you know, let's hit and wait. You know it's
too too often, and you know, today's rapid society. We
want the answer right now, and we don't have the answer.

(32:53):
You know, we don't have We got to see all
the receipts first, uh, and then then we'll see. But
I will say this one thing about the Kawhi Leonard era,
it didn't have him produced a championship, and I don't
think it will at this point.

Speaker 3 (33:08):
Yeah. Yeah, man, I want to say curse.

Speaker 4 (33:09):
But my gosh, they've had Lob City, the Kawhi era
and Paul Jory and just it never works out for
the Clippers.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
All right, We appreciate your man, Sea and enjoy Thanksgiving
me Thanksgiving to you and the family, my man.

Speaker 3 (33:20):
Appreciate you, Hey.

Speaker 6 (33:21):

you thank you, my man, thank you.

Speaker 6 (35:55):
But let me say this real.

Speaker 9 (35:56):
Quick, guys, I think, of course, I'm I'm so sad
at you guys. Of course they should be interested in
Bill Belichick. He is one of the greatest coaches of
all time. He's a brilliant football mind, savant. I mean,
he had so much to offer to the NFL. Man,
every team should want him. And by the way, you know,

(36:19):
I would be forgetting I would even give up my
collection plate money to pay for the payout to get
him away from my tid heel.

Speaker 4 (36:26):
So there you go.

Speaker 3 (36:28):
I knew something was coming. I knew it, no doubt. Chilling.

Speaker 4 (36:34):
Good set up, Yeah, good setup. I was like, wait
a minute, he really thinks he should be a good
coach right there. Uh hey, by the way, what's going
on with the We have like three or four altercations
after the game nowadays everybody or right before, like, guys
can get spit on.

Speaker 3 (36:51):
Now guys are getting punched in the junk. What that
is going on in the NFL?

Speaker 4 (36:55):
Is it like I asked you this last time? Is
it cameras now like just we you know what I mean,
we catch everything it used to me. You see the
melee and most of the time we only focus on
the guy who the second guy you know who's reacting
to whatever happened.

Speaker 3 (37:08):
And now we got cameras cause, dude, what's his name again?

Speaker 4 (37:11):
I forgot punched Jenny in the in the in the
in the junk, Trevon Mork, bunch of them in the junk.
You got the people getting spent on two three times
throughout the season. I'm like, what is going on? Week
after week? We can getting these crazy incidents. Games are
like towards the end of the game or whatever it is,
just move on. But guys are I don't know, guys

(37:31):
are wild nowadays?

Speaker 6 (37:32):
Man?

Speaker 3 (37:32):
Will you never punch a guy in this junk?

Speaker 2 (37:34):
Like?

Speaker 3 (37:34):
That's so taboo?

Speaker 2 (37:35):
It is.

Speaker 3 (37:36):
I just can't understand it either. But spent on somebody?
Let me say this too real quick, Rob G and
your Raiders and Pete Caroll did you see this too?

Speaker 1 (37:45):
They asked Pepe Carroll. It's an old running joke that
I heard years ago. I think with the Lions or
somebody or you know, what did you think of your teams? Oh?

Speaker 3 (37:53):
You got it, team's execution or something.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
Let's this you know you mentioned execution players John McKay
once once it was asked, you know what do you
think team's execution.

Speaker 3 (38:01):
He said, I think it's a good idea. But I
never did really understand how he was willing to say that,
but I just did it. It's time to pack it up.
It's time. It's really because at least on the joke, Pete,
really that's where that's that's where you are.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
You know, he's fired every coach and now he just
let you know, let uh trashed and threw all the
players under the bus.

Speaker 3 (38:24):
But it's not your fault. It's not Pete Carroll's fa
to me. Run with it, Dagan. If you're gonna do it,
say it with your chest.

Speaker 1 (38:29):
You know what I mean, like like come up with
your own line or something if you wanted to be
funny or flip about your team.

Speaker 3 (38:35):
But it's it just sounds like it. I don't. I don't,
Mark Davis, he should shave his head ball. He ain't
doing that.

Speaker 4 (38:42):
And then go to Pete Carroll get out. Have you
have you known seen what powerful women do? If it's
woman's keep getting a he man haircut. He ain't changing that, Bill.

Speaker 3 (39:00):
What did he say? I know what you're gonna say?
Oh lord God, so would you say powerful women? Yeah?
Scared went to my book drop ah. Good point.
