Don't think we could. No, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
I think.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
It would sound like a lot of other shows on

Speaker 4 (03:14):
Look, are we team players?
Speaker 3 (03:15):

don't he don't want to look at this.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Alex, of course, is our engineer.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
You're a hidden talent.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
He sure is hidden. We'll be telling you. We tell
you all the time. No other shows when you when
you work those other shows, draft shows.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Unbelievable with the news, that's right, it can't be Alex
with the news.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
You're right, And of course, uh, Steve the Seger's tankard desk,
you will keep us updated throughout the program, and of
course a live I was so Rob it was eighty.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Three degrees in the valley. That man's got on a
big winter coat. Elijah, you don't take that off.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
That's like a sign for episode. When a lane has
a big coat on, they start, you know, trying to
run it off. Yeah, that's what during the commercial break, Eliza,
to take off your jacket. You know what's weird is
And sometime when I leave here at night and I
wasn't bringing in a jacket and I would leave and
it was like chilly, and I was like, what am
I thinking? I know it's December and now it's blazing hot,
and I got this and a jacket.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
I was at the beach today. It was seventy seven.
Well you at the beach. Yeah, the beach is crazy.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
It's usually it's to be about sixty eight, seventy there
swimming and everything.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
I was the weather. I'm in the water, water was freezing, Okay.
I figured that naked. Knowing you, of course I can't
even take mine. My daughters can't go see Uncle Alex swimming.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
No, please, Rob, Rob G. We do have news in
the National Football League. Yes, we need you to get involved.
Let you see how disgusted.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
He is, like I can't even sit down, looking like
he ain't come to work, to work.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Can you come work? Can we get Scott got it round?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
I'm telling he right on the edge, right on the
edge telling you this last month or so, it is.
Don't puss me, cuss coats to the it's what Mexican.
Speaker 6 (05:25):
Big news In Indianapolis, they're quarterback Daniel Jones, Danny Dimes,
Danny Pennies. You want to call him out for the
season with the torn achilles, wishing him a speedy recovery.
But because the Indianapolis Colts are still in the thick
of the AFC playoff race, they need a new quarterback
and uh right, the Leonard's not the answer. Six round
rookie might be heard this weekend. Uh, they don't like
(05:45):
any other options. Athlete Richardson, their former top five overall pick,
still dealing with the broken face after hit himself with
an elastic band on how that happened.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
So because of that.
Speaker 6 (05:55):
They're dipping into the Canton Hall of Fame category. Philip Rivers,
who is eligible to be in shrine in twenty twenty six,
has just been signed to their practice squad. He has
not played football in about five years. If he gets
signed to the active roster, not only will he be
the oldest quarterback in the NFL by far, he will
(06:18):
also have restarted his Hall of Fame case another five years.
So it's a double whammy for Philip Rivers.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
I'm disgusted. Can I tell you that? Why are you disgusted?
I'm absolutely disgusted? Today? Is this on? This on? Today
is one of those days when I.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Hate the National Football League because you know why, it
sounds like an old Negro spiritual when I heard the
news today?
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Is this old man River?
Speaker 5 (06:54):
This is old man River, Man River. This is when
the NFL is bad. Why they're bringing old man River
to quarterback? You mean to tell me this? Nobody else
who could play football and quarterback the Colts. This guy
hasn't played in five years. He's forty four years old.
(07:17):
And you know what, this was the same league that
years ago, five years ago, told me that Colin Kaepernick
was too old and that Colin Kaepernick couldn't play him
he was too rusty, hadn't played na whaw.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
This is the league that we have.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
I would to have more respect for the Colts that
they said Colin Kaepernick put on a helmet, get a uniform.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Come on, man, we claim it.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
I'm still mad at the NFL players who allowed the
owners to do what they did to Colin Kaepernick and
take away his career because he cared about people. It
makes me sick to think that Colin Kaepernick's career was
taken from him and NFL players, mostly black, a league
(08:05):
that's almost seventy percent black, turned the other way and
allowed that to happen. And you know what, This league
is famous for nepotism, buddyism, cronyism.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
And here's another example.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Let's go get a guy because we feel comfortable with
him and we know he hadn't played in five years.
There's nobody else on the planet who can come and
quarterback the coach and win your two games or a
game and get you in the playoffs other than old
man Rivers.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Disgusting.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
No way, if you have any decency, you gotta root
for the coach to lose every single game. That's how
I feel. I want him to win enough game to
keep the Chiefs out of the playoffs.
Speaker 7 (08:49):
And I knew you wasn't that man. His levels to
this madness. He was like, I met well hold On,
pumped the brakes, ABC. Anybody but chief Man Listen. I
thought the river ran dry. I didn't think it was anything.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Left in that. Would you call it? Simon?
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Now I'm saying five years no, all jokes aside. I
remember when Michael Vick stopped playing right he went to
prison for two years, and they were like, oh man,
it's been two years. He's probably lost it. He was
like twenty nine or whatever. He was thirty years old.
And you mentioned Colin Kaepernick. I've screened it to the heavens.
Wasn't even on the show with you. You've screened it. It
(09:29):
made no sense for people to act like there were
sixty four other quarterbacks better than Colin Kaepernick, but no,
he couldn't play Ryan, give you fine, maybe okay, he's
not a starter.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
You're tell him he's not a backup. He's not good anymore.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
And then you start to run down the Nathan Peterman's
of the NFL who were in there, like stop it.
So I'm glad you brought that up. The idea that
Colin Kaepernick's two years at the time, three years at
the time, away, four years, that he couldn't play because
Philip Rivers again has been gone for five years. Now,
let's get into this a little bit more. This is
also an in diving on the NFL quarterbacking. You're telling
me there's not somebody else around that they can find.
(10:03):
There's not a younger person around. They can make it
your a. We'll give you a sixth round pick, seven
round pick for your backup player X. I understand the familiarity.
I understand that he's been with the organization. He played
well eleven to five back in twenty twenty.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
What they win with use? Did he win something? To listen?
The world went through literal the world stopped in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
You know how much more we've been through a crazy
election cycles, summer of George Floyd, like so much has
happened in the five years.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
And he's five years older. Rob.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
He's not as if he was thirty now he's thirty five.
He's forty four. We joke about Aaron Rodgers being old
at forty one.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
He's older than Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
We're asking Philip Rivers to come in and save the day,
to be better than what Tom Brady was at his age,
even at his peak, he was never better than Tom Brady.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
You get what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
So hey, come back five years later, forty four and
comes steer this ship and mind you well, he's gotta,
you know, be good enough to win a good game
or two for them to get the postseas. What's the
postseason playing? Is a postseason playing? To continue with Philip Rivers.
So this is an indictment either on the NFL as
a whole, that they're not that many good quarterbacks laying around,
or that the Colts are just like, we don't care
(11:16):
about it, We only want to go get No.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
I told you about how bad the Colts are and
the crony ism.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
This the same organization that hired Jeff Saturday who had
no coaching experience.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Okay, how many blunders is gone wrong? Right? How many
blunders are you gonna do? For real?
Speaker 5 (11:33):
A forty four year old quarterback out of the league
for five years, that's the thing he's not. He hasn't
been a back back five years. You guys, go back
and read the stories about Colin kaepernickt now too long.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
He doesn't have it anymore anymore. He's too old.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
You know how old Colin kaepernickt now and he hasn't
played in five or six years.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
He's thirty eight. He's thirty eight, six years younger.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
And they were saying this when he was like thirty,
no one that he was done and he couldn't play anymore.
He was too rusty. And stand, this is where we are.
Old Man Rivers is crazy.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Man. He must know something. He must know the office,
the coats offense. Here we go. Hold on my head, hold,
I'm not dealing with you with you.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Oh, I'm not dealing with you right now, even though
I'm literally dealing with you right now that.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
That's where we are.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
What year is this?
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Are you serious that that Indianapolis Colts have just.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Signed Old Man River?
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Yo?
Speaker 5 (12:49):
They I'm a I'm in a bad plantation movie that
I'm watching the study of the NFL?
Speaker 4 (12:54):
What is this?
Speaker 7 (12:55):
They?
Speaker 1 (12:56):
You know, always talking about the break in case of emergency.
You know the Steelers had that with Russell Wilson or
some other teams had you know, a really good back.
You went back and first of all, he has enough children.
He could have been a coach of his own football team, you.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Like any idea that they win got him, like this
is actually this is we live in LA. He was
a Charger who of course they finally went from San Diego, LA.
This sounds like an LA Charger thing because this will
actually be a movie something made for Hollywood.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Wasn't then it's quad in the movies. This is necessary roughness.
I know what happened.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
Their general manager, Chris Ballor, was watching a rerun of
Going with the Win and figured out, like, I could
get my quarterback from that. Let me go get old
Man River to quarterback me because I gave up too
much for a dB two first round picks I pulled
and the eggs in the basket, like like, seriously, are
(13:50):
you distraught?
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Like I am disgusted Anthony right now and the and
the NFL. This is what we have. That's the first
thing I thought about today.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Old Man River is gonna be a starting quarterback in
the NFL eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Are you offended like I am?
Speaker 5 (14:12):
That the Colts brought in Philip Rivers out of retirement?
Speaker 4 (14:16):
He was on an NFL Hall of Fame ballot.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
That's crazy we wanted and even that's questionable eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven nine nine six,
sixty three, sixty nine. We want to hear from you,

Speaker 4 (18:29):
No doubt.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Thanks for the call. It is terrible, terrible. It doesn't
make sense, Rob, because nobody can. You have to be

the NFL. He couldn't run when he was in his.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Prize for the call. Appreciated's shot you, Yeah, what is it?

Speaker 4 (18:52):
Ya, thanks, we appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Uh. My concern, my thing is they must.
Speaker 9 (18:58):
Have really high expects places because.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
He's giving up his Hall of Fame eligibility and he's
a semi finalist this year.
Speaker 10 (19:05):
I mean, they really have that much expectations.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
Right, it's crazy, it's absolutely because now it's gonna have
to reset the clock five four years.
Speaker 9 (19:14):
Down the line for what a couple of games and
maybe a first round ex right, why are.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
You gonna give up that Hall of Fame eligibility?
Speaker 4 (19:22):
I thought about that.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I'm gonna tell you why for me if I was thinking, well,
why would he do this? Because at appreciated he can
add that like, oh look another playoff run.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
Well he could have a terrible oh and four and
get this good okay, And then that's the other part.
And then people remember your your last way out, Well
he looked awful. What a bad decision for him to
go out there? Like seriously, that's the other flip. It's
like the Mike Tyson fighting Jake Paul right, like like,
oh yeah, Mike Tyson might knock him out, and people
think this Instead you looked at it and.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Said, oh my god, what were you doing? It was
and that's all it is.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
Andre in Massachusetts, you're the odd couple of Fox Sports.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Ready, I'm fired up, Drey, what's up?
Speaker 10 (20:04):
How you doing? Thanks for taking the call, Rober, I
love the fire. And you make a number of Prescian
points about people who are looked over leap frog and
how this evidence is the nepotism, the cronyism, and folks
really prioritizing their own comfort over actually having the best
person in the room. Oh I thinks are well taken.
(20:24):
Listen for me.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
The Roe said it.
Speaker 10 (20:26):
Most men live lives of quiet desperation. There's nothing quiet
about this in terms of Indianapolis cults, in terms of
they're not even looking at the available talent pool in
terms of the best selection now relative to Philip Rivers,
I do think that we're looking at NFL as a
copycat league.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
They see what.
Speaker 10 (20:44):
Happened with Joe Blackaw and how that they had some
success over there, and they immediately reach for that, and
they're trying to make this Joe BLACKO two point zero.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Will it work? Almost? Prop it?
Speaker 10 (20:53):
Absolutely, It doesn't look like it's going on. I'm not
going to say one way. I don't think it's going
to work, just because.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
For five years five you.
Speaker 10 (21:02):
Can't just come right off the couch and play fall,
which is what they're asking for him. So I do
think he leaped over a lot of people. They're just
trying to copycats. Do better, Indianapolis cult. Good luck to you,
thanks taking the call.
Speaker 1 (21:14):

You got in the eligibility to left? You want to
go back and play? Yeah, Philip Rivers coming back? You
want to go back.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
No, no, I'm not going back nowhere. I'm going back
to sleep. That's about it.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
Ephelm, I said, Philip Rivers coming back reminds me of
the song.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
Old Man Rivers.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
That's right, like unbelievable that there's no other quarterback. Guys
haven't played in five years.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
They told Colin Kaepernick that he couldn't play when he
was thirty one, that he was out of the game
too long and too old, and now they're bringing back a.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Guy forty four years old.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
I mean, is there nobody else, Ephraim who can play
quarterback in the National Football League?
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Yeah, there is. I don't know what this is. I
think it's elder abuse. I think I think somebody needs
to call someone and then look in on this. Uh,
this is a good way to get to get you
to have hip surgery alone. Then you had you had design. Look.
(23:14):
I like Philip Rivers. I played in Philip Rivers era.
But Philip Rivers needs to continue to do what he's
been doing, uh these last five years, and that's just
be at home. Uh it's this is a dangerous game.
Guys are bigger, faster and stronger, and what you don't
want to do is disrespect the game by thinking you're
(23:36):
smarter than the game.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
Yes, there wasn't why people retired, right, Like, there's a
shelf life to.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
A player, Yes there is, and no matter how much
you want to keep taking yourself off the shelf, brother,
it doesn't work like that. This is a danger It's
fun and we're poking fun at it, but this is
a dangerous situation for Philip Rivers to be in because
he's not gonna be able to really protect himself.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
And that's what I brought up before I said I've
said this before. Jared Golf only has about another year
or two as far as he's like the last kind
of stand in the pocket. Everybody else can run and
move at least a nice amount. Philip Rivers couldn't do
that in his prime. And this NFL is different now.
If you're not able to get out the pocket, we
saw it last night with Justin Herbert. So I'm literally
concerned that he couldn't move it as best now that
(24:23):
it FIL's really different. He can't move, Like, how is
he going to be able to escape and avoid hits?
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Yeah? You you if you can't protect yourself. If you
can't you know, get away from backside pressure when they
blitz more than five or well, if you can't depend
on your you know, blind side tackle to protect, like
you have to be able to save yourself. And he's
not in a position to do that. And defensive linemen
(24:49):
and linebackers and defensive coordinators have only gotten bigger, stronger, faster,
and smarter. So this is about to be a situation.
And I look, I know Indian Appolis is like, look,
we have an opportunity to win the division. We have
an opportunity to do all of these things, but this
is not the way to do it. This isn't the
(25:11):
way to do it. It's this is a dangerous way,
and it's gotta be another viable option. Are you just
played with the young quarterback you have? You still have
Richardson on the on the roster.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Correct, Yeah, he's banged up, he's out, yep.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Yeah, But I mean you you gotta go find somebody.
You gotta go get one of these young kids.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Caught the Giants and saying, hey, I got a fifth,
sixth round, seven round pick for Russell will something. It
just doesn't it just doesn't make sense.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Well, you can't, you can't trade him anymore. The only
way you can pick up a quarterback now is if
he was cut, But then you have to clear waivers
and and and all of that. So it's a it's
a situation where you know they're they're they're out thinking themselves.
They think they're the smartest in the room, and you realized,
oh man, you in the wrong room.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
They well, they did it before with Jeff Saturday.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
Remember they were the ones that were going to all
the like re change the coaching things, let's go get
a guy exactly, and it was a disaster. That's Chris Ballard,
their GM who's made all this Sauce Gardner gave up
two first round picks. Everybody already's like, oh my god,
what did they do? You know, they banked on Daniel Jones.
It's just a mess with the Colts, just a mess.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Uh yeah, And he did there. They didn't know Daniel
Jones was gonna rupture as Achilles.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
No no, no, no, honest said that. But he stopped
playing as well as he did before that. Like you
started to see the old Daniel Jones the last couple
of games, like he kind of reverted back to.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Where it was.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
But let's go let's go to I do want to
ask you about the Chiefs and then Kevin could get
into last night's game. Just the Chiefs and where they are.
Patrick Mahomes numbers just horrific. Uh, And he scuffled in
four of the last five games. He had the four
touchdowns and a loss to the Cowboys, but in these
other games he's got one touchdown and six picks. So
(27:02):
it's been a really bad stretch. And that was a
game they had to have. What did you make of that?
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Well, look, it's sometimes you need to break right. Sometimes
you need a season to recalibrate and to hel up
to address the some needs, get her better draft pick,
all of those types of things. I think that's where
where the Kansas City Chiefs are right now. They weren't
(27:31):
gonna go on this miraculous run. Remember there was a
ten year period in between Tom Brady winning the first
set of Super Bowls and the second set of Super Bowls.
That's the reason we're talking about the greatest quarterback to
ever play.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
Yeah, well, and cheating those years and figut out, I'm
sure right.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
But with one of I get it. But with one
of the greatest coaches quarterback tandems. There was a down period.
They weren't anybody who expected the Chiefs to continue to
go to Super Bowls and continue to go to a
FC Championship games without a break and without coming back
down to earth. That that just wasn't you know, that
wasn't attainable.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
So well, tell Kelvin that because Kelvin had Mahomes winning
the m v P and them going to the super
Bowl again.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
No, well, no, he doesn't have him like that now, No.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
We did. He had it before. I'm saying this year,
he's like week four.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
When they start getting right, they're.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Gonna have plenty of time. They have no offensive lineman.
You can't get right if you have no offensive lineman.
They had one starter last last the other night and
he got hurt. So now you got a bunch of
guys who should be with Philip Rivers wherever he was,
uh coaching blocking for Patrick Mahomes. It just doesn't work
(28:48):
like that. The two super Bowls he lost, they had
no offensive line. That's a real thing. There are you
know all world guard and Tray Smith has been in
and out of the lineup with the ankles frame. Uh,
so they you've lost both tackles. There is a problem.
The center went down, but there's a problem.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
With Mahomes to and now I get all the other stuff.
They have the number, they have, the number seven defense.
They got all these receivers that Kelvin talked about, and
for like three weeks against bad teams, they put up
these big numbers.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
Everybody go back. Uh uh read the stories.
Speaker 5 (29:23):
All of the chiefs are backed all they got their receivers. Oh,
that's why Mahomes were struggling. Now everything's back in place.
And since then, even with all this and a number
seven defense, there's six and.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Seven, no offensive line, sixth seven. No, hey, man, I
got what you're talking about. I got a high schooler
in the middle schooler. I live in the world of
six seven. Man. Get out of.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
Here, you know, I hear it every day.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Man, Hey, embrace it. It ain't going nowhere. Just embrace
it is what it is.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
No, I ain't bracing thats alim our guests with the
odd couple on a trash talking Tuesday. Speaking of trash man,
the Eagles, what the heck is going on? They've lost
three straight. They don't the offense can't score. They were
averaging around fifteen points and then they get nineteen last night.
What the heck if I brought you in general manager, Salam,
(30:17):
what are you doing?
Speaker 3 (30:20):
What I would have done was I would have got
rid of aj Brown at the trade deadline, or I
would have drafted him. I would have got rid of
him before the draft so I can maximize that that
draft capital, and then I would have replaced him with
a young receiver in the draft and possibly another edge rusher,
just to bolster that those you know, offensive side of
(30:43):
the ball and the defensive side of the ball. Since
you didn't do any of that, and you still didn't
do it at the trade deadline when you could have
got some you know, other draft assets, then you're stuck
with it. You are what you are. You got a
discrountle receiver who feels like no matter if you're that,
he still needs here. So what you do is you
force feed him. And what happens when you force feed
(31:05):
him you lose games. You look at his numbers, his
best games, I don't know if they won those games.
And that's the problem. And you have a quarterback who's
not used to trying to force feed somebody are used
to trying to throw the ball down the field because
you essentially are running teams. That's where you had your
ultimate success. They don't run the ball anymore. If anyone
(31:28):
in that franchise and in that locker room should be upset,
it should be Sakon Barkley. He's just not getting the
touches that he normally gets. We don't ever get to
see the push push anymore because they can't get into
third or for the short they just can't do it.
So now your best play is Nolan Voyd because you
(31:48):
can't even get in position to run the play. It's
the crazy part of all. After all that I just
said all of that, they're still in first place in there.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
That's the crazy part.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
I think that's partly why it's so maddening is because
they're eight and five in this first place and they're
still good, but they're not good.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
It's like a weird conudgrum. They're good, but they ain't good.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
Yeah, they're the type of good that they'll get you
to the playoffs and then get the doors blowing off you.
Similar to Dallas Cowboys when they made their playoffs. You
know that you do all of this stuff and you
get to the to the playoffs and then somebody beat
the breaks off. You're like, well what happened? Well, well
that's what those.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
Twelve or five years with the Cowboys which you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
All right, if you appreciate it, man, thank you as
always absolutely.

convenient installation options like mobile installation tire rack dot com.
Speaker 4 (36:02):
It is the way tire buying should be.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
That that was a bad game at times, a defensive
game for both teams last.
Speaker 4 (36:11):
Night, that Monday night football game.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
But man, I tell you what, Justin Herbert playing just
had that left hand surgery, got his hand cut open
pad the cast almost playing out there, the Eagles defense
seven sacks, chasing him all game. Dude, that was an
impressive game for him. Considering Robie, he was running for
his life at every go and he just had to
realize at a certain point passing wasn't gonna be an
(36:36):
option for the most part. He had to take off
and run. Showed him a few times landing on that hand.
They kept bandaging his arm up and everything. But that
was an ugly sometimes we talk about it. You gotta
win ugly. Sometimes you gotta find a way to win.
And they were able to do that. And now here
they are what are they nine to four? But the
co of a team nobody won't really talk about right now.
You know, there's some other teams were discussing they're not
(36:56):
that impressive, Like I don't disagree with that.
Speaker 5 (36:59):
You know what, And I'm not saying that they're bad
or I'm just like they win even last night, ugly,
if the Eagles take away one turnover, seriously, they get
beat like even with all of but it was just
five turnover.
Speaker 4 (37:13):
They have more turnovers than a bakery.
Speaker 5 (37:14):
We talk about all the time, Seriously, one turnover, one playdown,
feel by a certain guy's name, and all of a sudden,
it's a different game, you know what I mean, you
don't lose that.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
There were seven turnovers in that game for only nine
points off turnovers.
Speaker 4 (37:29):
That is a little over one point. Person. That is terrible.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Like usually you know, you get some touchdowns out of that,
you get a couple, you know, a few field goals.
You get to this, you get that seven turnovers between
the two teams and all they came up it was
nine points. Yeah, that was That was terrible. And the
passing for the for the the chargers man and that
they they got to figure something out if they want
to go as far as they think they can go.
(37:54):
Because again and also blocking justin Herber my gosh, I
mean again, seven sacks they almost got about seventeen sacks
they being the Eagles on him.
Speaker 4 (38:01):
He was literally scrambled.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
There's a certain point Rob he would literally go hike
and just I'm running because I know if I dropped
back and try to find somebody, OLP, I'm gonna get
laid out.
Speaker 4 (38:09):
So they but they were able to pull that one out.
Like my game plan for just for.
Speaker 5 (38:15):
Philip Rivers jail break, I would just I've just send
people at him. Oh I'm not even I would just
I would just attack him.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
All jokes aside. And seriously, I just got upset. You
were watching it too. We were on the phone with Ether.
You saw it, but you didn't you know, we couldn't
bring it up. JJ Watt. Did you see his tweet?
It was like Philip Rivers has been coaching the same
offense that he ran with the Colts with his high
school son's team, and then every week he checks in
with stiking literally as oh and.
Speaker 4 (38:46):
And what does that mean?
Speaker 5 (38:48):
You're forty years old, haven't played in five I haven't
taken those live bullets from a football.

Speaker 4 (05:08):
Can you come work? Can we get Scott got it round?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
I'm telling he right on the edge, right on the
edge telling you this last month or so, it is.
Don't puss me, cuss coats to the it's what Mexican.
Speaker 6 (05:25):
Big news In Indianapolis, they're quarterback Daniel Jones, Danny Dimes,
Danny Pennies. You want to call him out for the
season with the torn achilles, wishing him a speedy recovery.
But because the Indianapolis Colts are still in the thick
of the AFC playoff race, they need a new quarterback
and uh right, the Leonard's not the answer. Six round
rookie might be heard this weekend. Uh, they don't like
(05:45):
any other options. Athlete Richardson, their former top five overall pick,
still dealing with the broken face after hit himself with
an elastic band on how that happened.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
So because of that.
Speaker 6 (05:55):
They're dipping into the Canton Hall of Fame category. Philip Rivers,
who is eligible to be in shrine in twenty twenty six,
has just been signed to their practice squad. He has
not played football in about five years. If he gets
signed to the active roster, not only will he be
the oldest quarterback in the NFL by far, he will
(06:18):
also have restarted his Hall of Fame case another five years.
So it's a double whammy for Philip Rivers.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
I'm disgusted. Can I tell you that? Why are you disgusted?
I'm absolutely disgusted? Today? Is this on? This on? Today
is one of those days when I.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Hate the National Football League because you know why, it
sounds like an old Negro spiritual when I heard the
news today?
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Is this old man River?
Speaker 5 (06:54):
This is old man River, Man River. This is when
the NFL is bad. Why they're bringing old man River
to quarterback? You mean to tell me this? Nobody else
who could play football and quarterback the Colts. This guy
hasn't played in five years. He's forty four years old.
(07:17):
And you know what, this was the same league that
years ago, five years ago, told me that Colin Kaepernick
was too old and that Colin Kaepernick couldn't play him
he was too rusty, hadn't played na whaw.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
This is the league that we have.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
I would to have more respect for the Colts that
they said Colin Kaepernick put on a helmet, get a uniform.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Come on, man, we claim it.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
I'm still mad at the NFL players who allowed the
owners to do what they did to Colin Kaepernick and
take away his career because he cared about people. It
makes me sick to think that Colin Kaepernick's career was
taken from him and NFL players, mostly black, a league
(08:05):
that's almost seventy percent black, turned the other way and
allowed that to happen. And you know what, This league
is famous for nepotism, buddyism, cronyism.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
And here's another example.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Let's go get a guy because we feel comfortable with
him and we know he hadn't played in five years.
There's nobody else on the planet who can come and
quarterback the coach and win your two games or a
game and get you in the playoffs other than old
man Rivers.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Disgusting.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
No way, if you have any decency, you gotta root
for the coach to lose every single game. That's how
I feel. I want him to win enough game to
keep the Chiefs out of the playoffs.
Speaker 7 (08:49):
And I knew you wasn't that man. His levels to
this madness. He was like, I met well hold On,
pumped the brakes, ABC. Anybody but chief Man Listen. I
thought the river ran dry. I didn't think it was anything.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Left in that. Would you call it? Simon?
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Now I'm saying five years no, all jokes aside. I
remember when Michael Vick stopped playing right he went to
prison for two years, and they were like, oh man,
it's been two years. He's probably lost it. He was
like twenty nine or whatever. He was thirty years old.
And you mentioned Colin Kaepernick. I've screened it to the heavens.
Wasn't even on the show with you. You've screened it. It
(09:29):
made no sense for people to act like there were
sixty four other quarterbacks better than Colin Kaepernick, but no,
he couldn't play Ryan, give you fine, maybe okay, he's
not a starter.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
You're tell him he's not a backup. He's not good anymore.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
And then you start to run down the Nathan Peterman's
of the NFL who were in there, like stop it.
So I'm glad you brought that up. The idea that
Colin Kaepernick's two years at the time, three years at
the time, away, four years, that he couldn't play because
Philip Rivers again has been gone for five years. Now,
let's get into this a little bit more. This is
also an in diving on the NFL quarterbacking. You're telling
me there's not somebody else around that they can find.
(10:03):
There's not a younger person around. They can make it
your a. We'll give you a sixth round pick, seven
round pick for your backup player X. I understand the familiarity.
I understand that he's been with the organization. He played
well eleven to five back in twenty twenty.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
What they win with use? Did he win something? To listen?
The world went through literal the world stopped in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
You know how much more we've been through a crazy
election cycles, summer of George Floyd, like so much has
happened in the five years.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
And he's five years older. Rob.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
He's not as if he was thirty now he's thirty five.
He's forty four. We joke about Aaron Rodgers being old
at forty one.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
He's older than Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
We're asking Philip Rivers to come in and save the day,
to be better than what Tom Brady was at his age,
even at his peak, he was never better than Tom Brady.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
You get what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
So hey, come back five years later, forty four and
comes steer this ship and mind you well, he's gotta,
you know, be good enough to win a good game
or two for them to get the postseas. What's the
postseason playing? Is a postseason playing? To continue with Philip Rivers.
So this is an indictment either on the NFL as
a whole, that they're not that many good quarterbacks laying around,
or that the Colts are just like, we don't care
(11:16):
about it, We only want to go get No.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
I told you about how bad the Colts are and
the crony ism.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
This the same organization that hired Jeff Saturday who had
no coaching experience.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Okay, how many blunders is gone wrong? Right? How many
blunders are you gonna do? For real?
Speaker 5 (11:33):
A forty four year old quarterback out of the league
for five years, that's the thing he's not. He hasn't
been a back back five years. You guys, go back
and read the stories about Colin kaepernickt now too long.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
He doesn't have it anymore anymore. He's too old.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
You know how old Colin kaepernickt now and he hasn't
played in five or six years.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
He's thirty eight. He's thirty eight, six years younger.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
And they were saying this when he was like thirty,
no one that he was done and he couldn't play anymore.
He was too rusty. And stand, this is where we are.
Old Man Rivers is crazy.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Man. He must know something. He must know the office,
the coats offense. Here we go. Hold on my head, hold,
I'm not dealing with you with you.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Oh, I'm not dealing with you right now, even though
I'm literally dealing with you right now that.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
That's where we are.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
What year is this?
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Are you serious that that Indianapolis Colts have just.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Signed Old Man River?
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Yo?
Speaker 5 (12:49):
They I'm a I'm in a bad plantation movie that
I'm watching the study of the NFL?
Speaker 4 (12:54):
What is this?
Speaker 7 (12:55):
They?
Speaker 1 (12:56):
You know, always talking about the break in case of emergency.
You know the Steelers had that with Russell Wilson or
some other teams had you know, a really good back.
You went back and first of all, he has enough children.
He could have been a coach of his own football team, you.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Like any idea that they win got him, like this
is actually this is we live in LA. He was
a Charger who of course they finally went from San Diego, LA.
This sounds like an LA Charger thing because this will
actually be a movie something made for Hollywood.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Wasn't then it's quad in the movies. This is necessary roughness.
I know what happened.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
Their general manager, Chris Ballor, was watching a rerun of
Going with the Win and figured out, like, I could
get my quarterback from that. Let me go get old
Man River to quarterback me because I gave up too
much for a dB two first round picks I pulled
and the eggs in the basket, like like, seriously, are
(13:50):
you distraught?
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Like I am disgusted Anthony right now and the and
the NFL. This is what we have. That's the first
thing I thought about today.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Old Man River is gonna be a starting quarterback in
the NFL eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Are you offended like I am?
Speaker 5 (14:12):
That the Colts brought in Philip Rivers out of retirement?
Speaker 4 (14:16):
He was on an NFL Hall of Fame ballot.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
That's crazy we wanted and even that's questionable eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven nine nine six,
sixty three, sixty nine. We want to hear from you,

telling you something bad's gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
No doubt.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Thanks for the call. It is terrible, terrible. It doesn't
make sense, Rob, because nobody can. You have to be
able to run down in the NFL. Right, that's where
the NFL. He couldn't run when he was in his.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Prize for the call. Appreciated's shot you, Yeah, what is it?
How's you gonna get away from people?
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Eric?
Speaker 4 (18:45):

Speaker 9 (18:51):
Rob Helvin love the show.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Ya, thanks, we appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Uh. My concern, my thing is they must.
Speaker 9 (18:58):
Have really high expects places because.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
He's giving up his Hall of Fame eligibility and he's
a semi finalist this year.
Speaker 10 (19:05):
I mean, they really have that much expectations.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
Right, it's crazy, it's absolutely because now it's gonna have
to reset the clock five four years.
Speaker 9 (19:14):
Down the line for what a couple of games and
maybe a first round ex right, why are.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
You gonna give up that Hall of Fame eligibility?
Speaker 4 (19:22):
I thought about that.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I'm gonna tell you why for me if I was thinking, well,
why would he do this? Because at appreciated he can
add that like, oh look another playoff run.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
Well he could have a terrible oh and four and
get this good okay, And then that's the other part.
And then people remember your your last way out, Well
he looked awful. What a bad decision for him to
go out there? Like seriously, that's the other flip. It's
like the Mike Tyson fighting Jake Paul right, like like,
oh yeah, Mike Tyson might knock him out, and people
think this Instead you looked at it and.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Said, oh my god, what were you doing? It was
and that's all it is.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
Andre in Massachusetts, you're the odd couple of Fox Sports.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Ready, I'm fired up, Drey, what's up?
Speaker 10 (20:04):
How you doing? Thanks for taking the call, Rober, I
love the fire. And you make a number of Prescian
points about people who are looked over leap frog and
how this evidence is the nepotism, the cronyism, and folks
really prioritizing their own comfort over actually having the best
person in the room. Oh I thinks are well taken.
(20:24):
Listen for me.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
The Roe said it.
Speaker 10 (20:26):
Most men live lives of quiet desperation. There's nothing quiet
about this in terms of Indianapolis cults, in terms of
they're not even looking at the available talent pool in
terms of the best selection now relative to Philip Rivers,
I do think that we're looking at NFL as a
copycat league.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
They see what.
Speaker 10 (20:44):
Happened with Joe Blackaw and how that they had some
success over there, and they immediately reach for that, and
they're trying to make this Joe BLACKO two point zero.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Will it work? Almost? Prop it?
Speaker 10 (20:53):
Absolutely, It doesn't look like it's going on. I'm not
going to say one way. I don't think it's going
to work, just because.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
For five years five you.
Speaker 10 (21:02):
Can't just come right off the couch and play fall,
which is what they're asking for him. So I do
think he leaped over a lot of people. They're just
trying to copycats. Do better, Indianapolis cult. Good luck to you,
thanks taking the call.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
We were talking about. Tom Brady should call it quits.
He's the same age or if now older than when
Tom Brady was playing. All Right, appreciate the calls we

Speaker 3 (22:10):
What I mean, what's happening to brothers that y'all doing?
Speaker 1 (22:14):
You got in the eligibility to left? You want to
go back and play? Yeah, Philip Rivers coming back? You
want to go back.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
No, no, I'm not going back nowhere. I'm going back
to sleep. That's about it.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
Ephelm, I said, Philip Rivers coming back reminds me of
the song.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
Old Man Rivers.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
That's right, like unbelievable that there's no other quarterback. Guys
haven't played in five years.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
They told Colin Kaepernick that he couldn't play when he
was thirty one, that he was out of the game
too long and too old, and now they're bringing back a.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Guy forty four years old.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
I mean, is there nobody else, Ephraim who can play
quarterback in the National Football League?
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Yeah, there is. I don't know what this is. I
think it's elder abuse. I think I think somebody needs
to call someone and then look in on this. Uh,
this is a good way to get to get you
to have hip surgery alone. Then you had you had design. Look.
(23:14):
I like Philip Rivers. I played in Philip Rivers era.
But Philip Rivers needs to continue to do what he's
been doing, uh these last five years, and that's just
be at home. Uh it's this is a dangerous game.
Guys are bigger, faster and stronger, and what you don't
want to do is disrespect the game by thinking you're
(23:36):
smarter than the game.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
Yes, there wasn't why people retired, right, Like, there's a
shelf life to.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
A player, Yes there is, and no matter how much
you want to keep taking yourself off the shelf, brother,
it doesn't work like that. This is a danger It's
fun and we're poking fun at it, but this is
a dangerous situation for Philip Rivers to be in because
he's not gonna be able to really protect himself.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
And that's what I brought up before I said I've
said this before. Jared Golf only has about another year
or two as far as he's like the last kind
of stand in the pocket. Everybody else can run and
move at least a nice amount. Philip Rivers couldn't do
that in his prime. And this NFL is different now.
If you're not able to get out the pocket, we
saw it last night with Justin Herbert. So I'm literally
concerned that he couldn't move it as best now that
(24:23):
it FIL's really different. He can't move, Like, how is
he going to be able to escape and avoid hits?
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Yeah? You you if you can't protect yourself. If you
can't you know, get away from backside pressure when they
blitz more than five or well, if you can't depend
on your you know, blind side tackle to protect, like
you have to be able to save yourself. And he's
not in a position to do that. And defensive linemen
(24:49):
and linebackers and defensive coordinators have only gotten bigger, stronger, faster,
and smarter. So this is about to be a situation.
And I look, I know Indian Appolis is like, look,
we have an opportunity to win the division. We have
an opportunity to do all of these things, but this
is not the way to do it. This isn't the
(25:11):
way to do it. It's this is a dangerous way,
and it's gotta be another viable option. Are you just
played with the young quarterback you have? You still have
Richardson on the on the roster.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Correct, Yeah, he's banged up, he's out, yep.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Yeah, But I mean you you gotta go find somebody.
You gotta go get one of these young kids.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Caught the Giants and saying, hey, I got a fifth,
sixth round, seven round pick for Russell will something. It
just doesn't it just doesn't make sense.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Well, you can't, you can't trade him anymore. The only
way you can pick up a quarterback now is if
he was cut, But then you have to clear waivers
and and and all of that. So it's a it's
a situation where you know they're they're they're out thinking themselves.
They think they're the smartest in the room, and you realized,
oh man, you in the wrong room.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
They well, they did it before with Jeff Saturday.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
Remember they were the ones that were going to all
the like re change the coaching things, let's go get
a guy exactly, and it was a disaster. That's Chris Ballard,
their GM who's made all this Sauce Gardner gave up
two first round picks. Everybody already's like, oh my god,
what did they do? You know, they banked on Daniel Jones.
It's just a mess with the Colts, just a mess.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Uh yeah, And he did there. They didn't know Daniel
Jones was gonna rupture as Achilles.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
No no, no, no, honest said that. But he stopped
playing as well as he did before that. Like you
started to see the old Daniel Jones the last couple
of games, like he kind of reverted back to.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Where it was.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
But let's go let's go to I do want to
ask you about the Chiefs and then Kevin could get
into last night's game. Just the Chiefs and where they are.
Patrick Mahomes numbers just horrific. Uh, And he scuffled in
four of the last five games. He had the four
touchdowns and a loss to the Cowboys, but in these
other games he's got one touchdown and six picks. So
(27:02):
it's been a really bad stretch. And that was a
game they had to have. What did you make of that?
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Well, look, it's sometimes you need to break right. Sometimes
you need a season to recalibrate and to hel up
to address the some needs, get her better draft pick,
all of those types of things. I think that's where
where the Kansas City Chiefs are right now. They weren't
(27:31):
gonna go on this miraculous run. Remember there was a
ten year period in between Tom Brady winning the first
set of Super Bowls and the second set of Super Bowls.
That's the reason we're talking about the greatest quarterback to
ever play.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
Yeah, well, and cheating those years and figut out, I'm
sure right.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
But with one of I get it. But with one
of the greatest coaches quarterback tandems. There was a down period.
They weren't anybody who expected the Chiefs to continue to
go to Super Bowls and continue to go to a
FC Championship games without a break and without coming back
down to earth. That that just wasn't you know, that
wasn't attainable.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
So well, tell Kelvin that because Kelvin had Mahomes winning
the m v P and them going to the super
Bowl again.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
No, well, no, he doesn't have him like that now, No.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
We did. He had it before. I'm saying this year,
he's like week four.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
When they start getting right, they're.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Gonna have plenty of time. They have no offensive lineman.
You can't get right if you have no offensive lineman.
They had one starter last last the other night and
he got hurt. So now you got a bunch of
guys who should be with Philip Rivers wherever he was,
uh coaching blocking for Patrick Mahomes. It just doesn't work
(28:48):
like that. The two super Bowls he lost, they had
no offensive line. That's a real thing. There are you
know all world guard and Tray Smith has been in
and out of the lineup with the ankles frame. Uh,
so they you've lost both tackles. There is a problem.
The center went down, but there's a problem.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
With Mahomes to and now I get all the other stuff.
They have the number, they have, the number seven defense.
They got all these receivers that Kelvin talked about, and
for like three weeks against bad teams, they put up
these big numbers.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
Everybody go back. Uh uh read the stories.
Speaker 5 (29:23):
All of the chiefs are backed all they got their receivers. Oh,
that's why Mahomes were struggling. Now everything's back in place.
And since then, even with all this and a number
seven defense, there's six and.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Seven, no offensive line, sixth seven. No, hey, man, I
got what you're talking about. I got a high schooler
in the middle schooler. I live in the world of
six seven. Man. Get out of.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
Here, you know, I hear it every day.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Man, Hey, embrace it. It ain't going nowhere. Just embrace
it is what it is.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
No, I ain't bracing thats alim our guests with the
odd couple on a trash talking Tuesday. Speaking of trash man,
the Eagles, what the heck is going on? They've lost
three straight. They don't the offense can't score. They were
averaging around fifteen points and then they get nineteen last night.
What the heck if I brought you in general manager, Salam,
(30:17):
what are you doing?
Speaker 3 (30:20):
What I would have done was I would have got
rid of aj Brown at the trade deadline, or I
would have drafted him. I would have got rid of
him before the draft so I can maximize that that
draft capital, and then I would have replaced him with
a young receiver in the draft and possibly another edge rusher,
just to bolster that those you know, offensive side of
(30:43):
the ball and the defensive side of the ball. Since
you didn't do any of that, and you still didn't
do it at the trade deadline when you could have
got some you know, other draft assets, then you're stuck
with it. You are what you are. You got a
discrountle receiver who feels like no matter if you're that,
he still needs here. So what you do is you
force feed him. And what happens when you force feed
(31:05):
him you lose games. You look at his numbers, his
best games, I don't know if they won those games.
And that's the problem. And you have a quarterback who's
not used to trying to force feed somebody are used
to trying to throw the ball down the field because
you essentially are running teams. That's where you had your
ultimate success. They don't run the ball anymore. If anyone
(31:28):
in that franchise and in that locker room should be upset,
it should be Sakon Barkley. He's just not getting the
touches that he normally gets. We don't ever get to
see the push push anymore because they can't get into
third or for the short they just can't do it.
So now your best play is Nolan Voyd because you
(31:48):
can't even get in position to run the play. It's
the crazy part of all. After all that I just
said all of that, they're still in first place in there.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
That's the crazy part.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
I think that's partly why it's so maddening is because
they're eight and five in this first place and they're
still good, but they're not good.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
It's like a weird conudgrum. They're good, but they ain't good.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
Yeah, they're the type of good that they'll get you
to the playoffs and then get the doors blowing off you.
Similar to Dallas Cowboys when they made their playoffs. You
know that you do all of this stuff and you
get to the to the playoffs and then somebody beat
the breaks off. You're like, well what happened? Well, well
that's what those.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
Twelve or five years with the Cowboys which you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
All right, if you appreciate it, man, thank you as
always absolutely.
Speaker 3 (32:33):

Speaker 4 (36:02):
It is the way tire buying should be.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
That that was a bad game at times, a defensive
game for both teams last.
Speaker 4 (36:11):
Night, that Monday night football game.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
But man, I tell you what, Justin Herbert playing just
had that left hand surgery, got his hand cut open
pad the cast almost playing out there, the Eagles defense
seven sacks, chasing him all game. Dude, that was an
impressive game for him. Considering Robie, he was running for
his life at every go and he just had to
realize at a certain point passing wasn't gonna be an
(36:36):
option for the most part. He had to take off
and run. Showed him a few times landing on that hand.
They kept bandaging his arm up and everything. But that
was an ugly sometimes we talk about it. You gotta
win ugly. Sometimes you gotta find a way to win.
And they were able to do that. And now here
they are what are they nine to four? But the
co of a team nobody won't really talk about right now.
You know, there's some other teams were discussing they're not
(36:56):
that impressive, Like I don't disagree with that.
Speaker 5 (36:59):
You know what, And I'm not saying that they're bad
or I'm just like they win even last night, ugly,
if the Eagles take away one turnover, seriously, they get
beat like even with all of but it was just
five turnover.
Speaker 4 (37:13):
They have more turnovers than a bakery.
Speaker 5 (37:14):
We talk about all the time, Seriously, one turnover, one playdown,
feel by a certain guy's name, and all of a sudden,
it's a different game, you know what I mean, you
don't lose that.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
There were seven turnovers in that game for only nine
points off turnovers.
Speaker 4 (37:29):
That is a little over one point. Person. That is terrible.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Like usually you know, you get some touchdowns out of that,
you get a couple, you know, a few field goals.
You get to this, you get that seven turnovers between
the two teams and all they came up it was
nine points. Yeah, that was That was terrible. And the
passing for the for the the chargers man and that
they they got to figure something out if they want
to go as far as they think they can go.
(37:54):
Because again and also blocking justin Herber my gosh, I
mean again, seven sacks they almost got about seventeen sacks
they being the Eagles on him.
Speaker 4 (38:01):
He was literally scrambled.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
There's a certain point Rob he would literally go hike
and just I'm running because I know if I dropped
back and try to find somebody, OLP, I'm gonna get
laid out.
Speaker 4 (38:09):
So they but they were able to pull that one out.
Like my game plan for just for.
Speaker 5 (38:15):
Philip Rivers jail break, I would just I've just send
people at him. Oh I'm not even I would just
I would just attack him.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
All jokes aside. And seriously, I just got upset. You
were watching it too. We were on the phone with Ether.
You saw it, but you didn't you know, we couldn't
bring it up. JJ Watt. Did you see his tweet?
It was like Philip Rivers has been coaching the same
offense that he ran with the Colts with his high
school son's team, and then every week he checks in
with stiking literally as oh and.
Speaker 4 (38:46):
And what does that mean?
Speaker 5 (38:48):
You're forty years old, haven't played in five I haven't
taken those live bullets from a football.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
Team, these guys.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
But this is this is Michael Parson. They've been chasing
you down. This is but this is the NFL. This
is this city, This is the NFL.
Speaker 5 (39:03):
This is the same league where a guy who played
golf in college became an NFL head coach because his
dad was a you know, in the NFL pipeline or
whatever front office people.
Speaker 4 (39:15):
