We'll be down with the King coming up the come on,
we gotta like that.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
I'm sorry. Run DMC down with the King.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Sean King, the former NFL quarterback and Fox Sports Radio
NFL analysts. We will get to Sean. That's coming up
in twenty seven minutes. First, Rob g Bill Belichick made
big news and know his girl is not pregnant. That's
not the news of the day. I'm just saying, do
you know that? No, I don't know that. Actually right, don't.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
Assume now you are a reporter, Rob, but you should
know any journalistic integrity.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
You don't know for sure. Don't be saying it. I said,
What did I say? I said? And no, I didn't
say it was happening. No, but you said that she's
definitely not what if she is? I don't know that
that's true. I'm assuming anyway, allegedly just say allegedly before
everything can be fine. That's right, that's right.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
In these days and times your house, I learned that
early on. In mind, Well, this is not alleged.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
This is official like a referee with the whistle. Bill Belichick,
after one horrible season in North Carolina, is cleaning house.
He has fired offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens and especial teams
coordinator Mike Prifer, leaving only one coordinator left from his
first season in Chapel Hill.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Who would that be?
Speaker 5 (02:54):
That would of course his son, Steve Belichick Defense. Everybody
else gone the Belichick stay for year two.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Okay, when he took this job, I went off because
I thought this was about his son. I'm against nepotism.
Me and Kelvin we go about it all the time,
and he's like, oh, you know, it's no, no, no, no.
When you own your own business. Okay, when you own
your own business.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
If I own a sandwich shop, my family could work
in a sandwich shop. People can talk about Jerry Jerry
Jones owns a family business. That's his business. His kids
can work in his family business. Yes, when you work
in a corporate setting that's not your family business, then
I'm not with nepotism.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Kelvin Washington got hired as a co host, not my nephew.
I tell him all the time. If that's the case,
let me bring my nephew and he could take your play. No,
you wouldn't feel good about that and go Robert. Would
Rob's nephew be the co host of the show? And
the NFL is terrible with nepotism in football in general.
(04:04):
They just had an awful season at North Carolina? Why
is his son still employed? Why doesn't the ad and
people pushed back? It was bad, bad all the way
across the board? Was their defense number one? And college football?
Am I missing something?
Speaker 3 (04:22):
They definitely weren't that they weren't number one. The only
reason he got hired.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Was because his dad was the coach. The only reason
he didn't get fired was because his dad is the coach.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
In Detroit. I got in trouble with Rob Maronelli.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
You remember that because Rob Maronelli's son in law was
a defensive coordinator.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
What'd you say, Roder? What'd you say to him? I
go get Rob?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Do you remember that? Everybody remember that? There was a
press conference is famous. I'm gonna say this without saying it.
When they make the list for the three greatest questions
ever asked at a press conference, I'm gonna be one
or two because one of them was a woman asking
(05:23):
who am I? Why am I blanket on his name?
On Washington's quarterback, Thug Williams. One of the questions you
remember this, she asked him the Super Bowl press conference,
how long have you been a black quarterback?
Speaker 3 (05:36):
So that so that's what. Oh that's number one? Always
past that one. How long have you been a black quarterback?
You won't pass that one? So I had a question
to Rob Maryland.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
But anyway, my point is, and it was because his
son in law was the defensive coordinator of the Lions.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
That was the year they went Owen sixteen. Wow.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
And the game that I had the big blow up,
and the whole thing was the Lions played the Saints.
They scored on every offensive possession. The only time they
didn't score was when they kneeled down in the game
because they were in the red zone. That's how, that's
how the mercy. Okay, you know what, they just kneeled down.
(06:19):
They could have scored. They just kneeled down. And I
get it. And my point is, this is why I'm
not cool with nepotism, is that there's some defensive coordinator
out there who's worked his butt off for an opportunity
would love to be that at North Carolina. Maybe he
can fix the defense, but he can't get the job
(06:41):
because Bill Belichick is holding it with his son, who
may or may not be.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Qualified.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
I'm not going to sit there and say he's not qualified,
but the reason he has a job is because of
his pops. And so this is just another one. It
just it's it feels bad, it stinks, and if you're
the ad, this is why you can't. This is my
pushback on these schools that give coaches carte blanche and
(07:11):
allow them to do whatever they want. That's why I
think you have a lot of problems on college campuses
with these coaches.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
And we mentioned all these coaches.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
You have problems at Louisville or whatever, and Rick Patino
and Bobby Butt, like seriously, because they walk around and
they have carte blanche and no one's going to step
to them. And there's no reason that Bill Belichick's son
should still be employed really after that season.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Yeah, the crazy part about it, Rob, I don't know
statistically how bad North Carolina defense was, so I can't
really comment on that part of it. I am like you, like,
nepotism is a thing, and obviously people stay higher way
longer than they should be in those situations.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Right.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
But I'll say this about you know, people that hire
these people knowing that that part of it's coming coming
on board with it.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Right.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
The North Carolina ad had to know and had to
have conversations about this before. Right, So this isn't something
that's catching him by surprise or the fact that everybody
else got fired and his son still there. We already
know that the only reason Bill Belichick took that job
is for his son to be the head coach of
that team eventually, Like, there's no other reason why Bill
(08:24):
Belichick would be coaching the North Carolina tar Heels. So
we can all see this coming. I get it.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Yeah, but I still think there has to be a
degree and this is where I'm where you have to
earn your keep.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
I might have got you in the door because you yeah, yeah,
but you still have to perform. I don't think that
you should just be able to hang on and you're
letting other people go. I think it's hard for them
to look at it and go, wait a minute, just
cleared everybody, But he.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Gets to stay.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
We got blowed out almost every week by forty points
and he gets to keep his gig. I know he's
a coach's son. Yeah, but it's sent a bad message.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
It really does know the message it sends to me
if I'm looking at it, if I'm another coach, why
would I go to the coach? It's not even about
like he should be fired at whatever. That's that's we
can tell. That's a package deal. But if I'm another
coach coming there and you just cleaned the house up
to one season and didn't give us a chance to
even try to write that.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Well, and there's the other part, yeah, is his son
gets another year to write it? Why are we making
any changes? Whatso after that's where's all year two? This
was our first year where at North Carolina. We're all
trying to get adjusted, Bill trying to get adjusted. He
didn't have a great year as a head coach. It
was embarrassing, to be honest. Done, Okay you said this before.
(09:43):
I still think that he made a big mistake. He
never should have went to college. I would have taken
the Atlanta Falcons job. And last night we sove Raheem Morris.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
What do we see? Did you watch the game? I
did watch it.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Did you see the halftime, Alice, did you see the video?
Rob G saw the video?
Speaker 6 (09:59):
Right?
Speaker 3 (10:00):
What happened at halftime?
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Was it?
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Who they kiss?
Speaker 7 (10:06):
Who?
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Kids? Who?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Were he Morris at halftime? Now now you're what were
they down by a point or whatever? Just a one
point game? Now obviously they won, so nobody's gonna make
a big deal out of it.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
I guess.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Going towards the locker room or whatever, he stops by
the set, comes behind him and gives him a kiss
on the cheek. And I just thought, is that what
my head coach would be like his thought process going
into do you know what I mean? Like it just
seemed like it was out of it went pregame, post
game like this is at halftime.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
It just seemed weird. The set. I'm gonna show it
to you. But but my point is the Belichick thing.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
If I'm the a D and this is why you
can't give people cart blanche. Everybody has to have checks
and balances.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
But when you talk about nepotism, if somebody's hiring them
to be a part of that, the the affinity that
they have for the person they're hiring, these little things
like this are gonna be swept under the rug anyway,
it's because the ad you got Bill Belichick in the building,
like you know what I mean? Like, so all the
other stuff doesn't even matter. But I agree with you
about the nepotism part of it. I don't like it either.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
I just I don't. I don't think. I don't.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
I don't know how that works unless you're winning a championship. Seriously,
other than that, if you want a championship, it's hard
to argue with anything you do.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
They didn't do that, Okay.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
That that's where I feel like Bill's not bulletproof.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
This was garbage this past year. Okay.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
So if I'm the a D like what's going on here? Okay,
you're making changes. Maybe we should hold on everybody another.
You give them all a chance. If you think your
son or that needs another. Do you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Like it.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Just feels grimy, grimy O. No, I agree with that part.
Yeah it's grimmy.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
But yeah, if you're gonna fire that whole staff and
then keep one, it's just too obvious.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
It's just too obvious. That part is it's so bad.
I'm not so.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
I just can't get over how brazen and how people
just there's like, I don't care, We're gonna do it. Yes,
they're so brazen with it. They rub it in your face.
They tell you like yo, yes, we'll do whatever we want. Really,
Bill Bellichie, how many national championships have you won and
caught like it? I'm telling you, I get it. Once
(12:33):
you won six Super Bowls, you could do it. You
can treat the media anyway, treat the staff like seriously.
You can get away with it. As Chris Paul, you
can do whatever you want. When you're a star. Start
doing that. At the end of your career.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Oh, they'll check you. They will check you. You dude,
this is not eight years ago. It ain't no All
Star guard. You're averaging two points.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Really, you're gonna bad mouth the organization and and and
all the people and staff.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Your words carry no weight here, son, No am I right?
Absolutely can't do it? And do it? No all right?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven
nine nine six sixty three sixty nine. Do you have
a problem with Bill Belichick's nepotism at North Carolina or
you just accept it? Carrie said, I'm he's not surprised.
I get it. I'm bothered by it because they were firings. Okay,
like they were firing so obviously something wasn't right and
(13:28):
you need to correct it. So no matter what, if
they're lasting, defensive points giving up or whatever, or first
you know, giving up too many points a game, he
gets to stick around next year, two and a year
after Bill's still there like that. That's what's the drawing.
What's the point where you change things or decide so
he can never be fired? Is that the deal? Never
(13:51):
be demoted? Who signs up for that? Eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox What is the Odd Couple? On

(15:46):
these calls. Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven,
seven nine nine six sixty three sixty nine, Bill Belichick
fired most of his.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Staff except for his son, so Grimy.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
This is why I'm against NEP but a lot of
you people, man, you guys are all you'll cool with it.
I'm not cool with it. I've never taken part in that.
Why you're not cool with it, Rob, because it stops
opportunities for people who have worked hard looking for an
opportunity and they don't have an end. Their dad's not
a head coach, or their uncle or something in that.
Speaker 8 (16:19):
Their friend, the radio hosts, you know what I mean.
I don't mean to be racist. I'm just saying it.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Wait to call the kettle black.
Speaker 8 (16:27):
Okay, thank you Andre, Massachusetts Goal.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
What's up Andre?
Speaker 6 (16:35):
How you doing?
Speaker 7 (16:36):
Thanks for thanks for taking a call. Listen. I'm not
over a problem with it because it's to be expected
with Bill Belichick. You know, Frankly, if this is the
nostalgia of Bill Belichick trying to read.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Andre, but they're companies that that's frowned upon and written
in that you can't hire relatives like I don't know
why we accept it in sports?
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Why? Why do you accept it to be expected? Why?
And then for him to fire everybody but keep his son.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
That's the only part for me. Yeah, the nepotism's already there.
Andre you cool with that, rub.
Speaker 7 (17:10):
You know, with the work that you've done with the
National Association of Black Journalists and kind of mentoring young
journalists and building them up to you know, where they
can move forward in their career. The connecting point is
you're a thousand percent right yees, because those individuals who
are talented, capable, and qualify. We're talking about journalism, but
we're also talking about sports. The references that you made
that aren't going to get an opportunity. Right With Bill Belichick,
(17:33):
the thing, the thing that really galls me right now
is he got away with this for decades because they
were winning with the Patriot Way and not paying guide
and firing everybody, and it all took place behind the
guides of Tom Brady. So we accepted it, but minus
Tom Brady when he's doing the same nepotism and it's
really just about ego. You know, the Carolina partials are
(17:55):
awful because Bill Belichick is an emperor without any closed.
He's not committed to the job. He's out there with
his twenty whatever girlfriend doing opposes at the beach. He
doesn't care. That's why they're awful. But that's not You
can't say that because you Bill Belichick, so fire everybody else,
put the blame on them, and keep it moving. That's
what he got away with and he can't do it anymore.
So good. Maybe people start calling him out for it.
(18:18):
Thanks taking a call all.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
R right now, right, Yeah, I'll be that guy if
other people don't want to say anything. It's just I'm
always going to stand for that. I'm really and I
don't care. Being a mentor to people is not hiring people.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
I don't hire anybody. I've never hired anybody at Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
You've never hired anybody. But you had influence, No I did.
You had no influence, well getting hired.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Rob hold on, I'm a smart guy.
Speaker 8 (18:46):
Let me put some puzzle pieces. Where do you teach
right now? That's a quick question.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
What do you teach right now? Rob usc All?
Speaker 8 (18:54):
Right, Hey, Chris microphone, Chris, I got a.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Question for you.
Speaker 8 (18:58):
Where did you graduate from? Just so just a random
question where.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Okay, let me get this straight. Where do I graduate from?
You graduate college?
Speaker 7 (19:06):
I prefer not to speak.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Did you or did you not attend to Rob Parker class?
Speaker 2 (19:14):
I attended to Rob Parker class that he bullied me
into your changing.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
No, no, no, legit. I wasn't even taking at the
honest of the good job. Alex, you're with me on this.
He's you know, you've got some people, you know in
the door.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
That's not nepartism. I'm not hiring nephew's Rob g.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
On the odd mob. I'm sure it's on my side.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
It's kind of split actually, okay, and not with regards
to this whole situation, but with regards to the Bill Belichick.
Rodman says, hey, if I can help my son, I would.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
If you have your own business, I'm fine. I think
anybody would have anybody. No, it wouldn't, but that's why.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
But I'm saying, that's why if we worked, if you're
I'm just let's just keep it real.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Scott Shapiro's our ball.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Seriously, Yeah, would there be a Fox Sports radio if
his nephew, his cousin, his uncle, like from a corporate standpoint, no,
it would not. So easily. Scott could say I'm gonna
hire my cousin. Oh yeah, I'll put when Chris leeds,
I'm gonna put my nephew in to do the show.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
No, it would how are the ratings though?
Speaker 6 (20:21):
No?
Speaker 1 (20:21):
But if the ratings are fine and they no, corporate
wouldn't allow that to happen.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
You know that rock? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:29):
All right, so here's another one. That's why they put
those kind of things in there.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
Zach from Florida says, Steve talking about Steve Belichick coaching
the NFL for years, and they almost beat a top
twenty five Virginia team.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
With the bet. Oh also, did they win a little.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
He's trying to defend these, says, maybe this guy isn't
the problem because for context.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Did you see the scores of those games? I need
the four context.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
The tar Heels offense ranked one hundred and twenty ninth
National League total offense, one hundred and nineteenth in points
per game defense. They were a blistering sixty ninth in scoring.
Oh yeah, real good, and forty first in total defense. Okay,
forty first, all right? Not not this, I mean not bad, all.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Right, I'm not eving Chris Profett I'm not gonna even
call you usc.

Let's hear from the King, none other than Sean King. Sean,
what's happening?
Speaker 6 (21:37):
What's up?
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Fellows sewn? What's up? Bollow you?
Speaker 6 (21:42):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (21:44):
When are you going to be a starting quarterback in
the NFL? Because anybody that's putting people in who are
forty four years old, got nineteen.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Kids out of shape?
Speaker 2 (21:54):
All that.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Uh, how ludacris is this.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
It's extremely ludicris, but it's also the best thing that's
ever happened in the game of football. It's a direct
shot at all of the parents that have kids in
middle of high school that are paying all this money
(22:20):
for these quarterback coaches that are teaching their kids nothing
about how to play the quarterback position at a high level.
That's what this is about. There are so few quarterbacks
that the NFL things are capable of helping them actually
win a game. If they went and got a guy,
that's my age to by pass being eligible for the
(22:44):
Hall of Fame to come at and play well.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
First of all, he wasn't getting in the Hall of
Fame on the first ballot anyway, So I like I
hear people say, oh, I can't believe he's doing that.
He's not a first ballot Hall of Famer. Okay, he
never won anything. But my disrespect to the game, though,
is the idea that you could put a forty four
year old guy who hasn't played in five years. That's
disrespectful to the game. That's the issue that I have, no.
Speaker 6 (23:13):
Rob. First of all, you don't know he wasn't gonna
get in because you only have one vote. Secondly, he
wasn't getting in. What it's not the first First of all,
it wouldn't be the first person that got in into them.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Vote for No, No, he wasn't getting in.
Speaker 6 (23:27):
I'm sorry you can't definitively say that. But it's more
a direct attack of the evolution of the quarterback position,
and so to the Steph Curry has changed basketball, patting
Mahomes has changed.
Speaker 9 (23:46):
Quarterback Sean, why why do you now, Sean, why do
you think the quarterback Why do you think the quarterback
position has changed so much and so drastically that you
need effect that these guys can't run and can't read coverages, Now,
what's going on with that?
Speaker 6 (23:58):
So it has nothing to do with that component. It's
the fact that people have monetized training the best and
brightest and most talented quarterbacks in this country, and in
order to justify what they're getting, they mimic the Patrick
Mahomes top ten plays, the Josh Allen top ten plays,
(24:22):
mimick Lamar Jackson top ten plays. What they don't do
is say, let's analyze Joe Burrow from the waist down,
from start to finish. They don't go back and say,
none of these guys that are training quarterbacks now utilize
Tom Brady or Peyton Manning kilm.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Well, but doesn't the Peyton many have a quarterback school
or something. I thought they have a school for quarterbacks.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
No, they've got like something that goes on in Louisiana
where they get called the top college and high school quarterbacks.
But that's not like something that Peyton's actually developing the kids.
Those are kids that are already on the radar that
they get to come to a camp and do something
from the Louisiana We.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Want to ask you about Joe Burrow sound like somebody
ready to retire. He's twenty nine, making a gazillion dollars
and not having fun play football.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
That's what he said. What did you hear?
Speaker 6 (25:17):
What I heard was I'm saying the head coach and
a GM two individuals that I don't want to be
attached to moving forward.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
But wait a minute, let me just push back.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
He's the one who went out of his way to
push for the two receivers to get paid. Okay, you
need to be protected. What about the offensive line? Now
you want? You wanted your weapons, but there was no
money to take care of protecting you. Come on, man,
you're culpable. You can't act like it's just the front
office in them. Why did they need to sign both
(25:52):
of those guys and spend all that money on receivers
when you can't protect a quarterback?
Speaker 6 (25:57):
Come on, Sean, I'm glad you're brought that up, Rob,
because this is a problem in sports overall. At some point,
the adults in the room have to actually adult. Yeah, right, Like,
so I don't care what Joe Burrow thinks, Like if
I'm a GM of the Bengals, like, what's best for
us to have a confident football team? Not football offense
(26:20):
in college. I'm not letting my players vote on if
we're going to a bowl game because I'm the adult
in a room, and I understand the bowl game is
about two things. It's about rewarding the seniors for everything
that they put into college football. I understand that they
may not ever play this game again. And it's also
an opportunity to forget me to get my young players
(26:40):
who are going to be here next year from full
contact eleven or eleven practice. We're starting like so sometimes
the adults in the room got an adult, and I
feel like that's what's missing in the game of football
from top to bottom. The adults are acquiescing to the
younger individuals, whether they be teenagers, whether they be college
(27:03):
age kids, whether it be pros. Like, at some point,
the adult's got to start a doing It's not sure,
it's not up to you, Like ro, when did your parents,
I'm gonna ask you, well, what do you think about this?
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Never they never even asked me what what did I
want for dinner? Or you know, like like this is
dinner tonight, that's that's what we're having exactly.
Speaker 6 (27:22):
Yeah, if the Bengals hire me, like I would invite
Joe Burrow into the Romans, say listen, and I think
you're a great quarterback. Here's what we're gonna do. I
want you to trust me to be a great gym.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Yeah, give me bright like.
Speaker 6 (27:35):
I'm just like, I'm gonna trust you to be a
great quarterback.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
I like that.
Speaker 6 (27:39):
Ask your opinion. I wanted. If I don't ask your opinion,
I don't need it and I'm not gonna accept it.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
I like that. I like that.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
So let's talk about quarterbacks. We still Since you're here
and what's going on with Lamar? Have you checked out
any of this tape recently? I mean he hasn't hasn't
been very accurate here in the last since he's gotten
back from injury. Have you looked at anything or detected
anything about his play here recently?
Speaker 6 (28:00):
For the other but context, he's a two time MVTEP,
but he's never been an accurate quarterback. He's always gotten
away with it because he's been the best athlete on
the field, regardless of position. So the first time in
his career he's had sustained injuries. He's not incapable of playing,
but he's not the best athlete on the field. And
here's where it goes back to I don't think Lamar's
(28:23):
ever been really coached by coach, meaning like when we
come from practice, I don't care to win ten of twelve.
Your fundamentals were bad on nine of the ten completions.
And as we get older, you have to rely on fundamentals.
It's not about this talent, because the talent starts to age,
(28:44):
it starts to diminish, and then what do you fall
back on. It's why Brady and Peyton one champion themselves
later in their career.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
No, no, no, don't get me, don't give me Payton.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Payt had ninety eight yards, he had an interception, and
he didn't play well.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
That was a defensive super Bowl.
Speaker 6 (29:02):
We're talking about fundamentals.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
I'm just saying he don't act like he quarterbacked them
to a super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
He was the ten man in that game. We couldn't
come on. That was That was a parting gift. All right,
let's go here.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
I want to talk about Patrick Mahomes speaking of agent
quarterbacks and how bad?
Speaker 3 (29:19):
How bad?
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Before the season started, I said they wouldn't make the playoffs.
Sean uh that they played the Chargers. What do you
got for me with the Chiefs six and seven, just
really bad games. Other than that four touchdown game against
the what was that against Dallas that they lost, he's
really been bad. He's got three touchdowns I think, and
six interceptions in the other four games. So it's really
(29:43):
really been a rough patch for Patrick Mahomes. What do
you see here?
Speaker 6 (29:47):
First Battle Hall of Famer.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Well, we're not talking about we're not talking about I
can't talk.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Right, Go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 6 (29:55):
First first Battle Hall of Famer. Not very good right now.
Let's say from Aaron Rodgers, but Aaron Rodgers's age base,
Patrick Mahomes a performance base. They got everybody healthy, but
you can't they they don't have talent like they got.
They're be Worthy Rice like Hollywood Brown, like Juju Suss,
(30:15):
mister Travis Kelsey like even if some of those guys
are out in their prime. They got more guys than
almost every other team in that's football league. What's happened
is Patrick Mahomes and his pettiness changed the entire way
the National Football League view contract on the quarterback. They
(30:39):
made a conscientious effort to say we're going to protect
the quarterback at all costs, and Patrick Mahomes kept pushing
the line. They kept pushing the line. I'm gonna, you know,
like I'm gonna go out of bounce and get Tim
more y'all, like I'm gonna slide and run. Now, guess what.
Everybody's on Patrick Mahomes and he's not performing. So guess what.
(31:01):
He's in no doubt Hall of Famer, but he's now
playing for Mount Wesnore. I think the truth. Don't have emotions,
is it's the truth? Right? Patrick Mahone's not very good
right now. I'm not saying he hasn't been great up
to this point in his career. Right now, he's not
very good. Watch the game.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
No, I agree, and people and a lot of people
don't want to criticize him, and I get it because
of his resume. But we're talking about not a lifetime
achievement of what we're talking about. To hear and now,
thanks Sean, all good, my man, appreciate you, Thank.
Speaker 6 (31:32):
You, hey. Before we leave, the MAT's got to be
the dumbest organizations in the world which you play one
Soto and then decide we're not going to keep the
closer and we'll let Peter Alonzo walk, all right, I'll
see you guys later.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
We already know Peter Lonzo one fifty five. They didn't
have that for him, but Dad seven sixty five.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
For want solo?
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Can you ridiculous right now? You don't have any money
for Peter Alonzo. Oh no, we're not giving him a
five year contract as if their owners worth twenty three billion.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Dollars one yeah, I know, yeah, all right.

that when it talks about Jalen hurts In the Eagles
do some splaining.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (34:03):
ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Folllon Friend of the Show did
its weekly buzz calling for ESPN.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
We saw Jeremy fallon and Detroit. We love Jeremy Fowler.
He's a good guy.
Speaker 5 (34:12):
And don't hate the Messenger because he is reporting his
latest column that folks around the NFL believe that the
Philadelphia Eagles will be looking to draft Jalen Hurts his
potential replacement early in the upcoming NFL Draft. One sort
described that to Fowler quote, the Eagles will do to
Jalen what they.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Did to Carson Wentz. Oh, there's a big difference. I
can't get with it. Carson Wentz didn't win anything for them.
This guy is the reigning Super Bowl MVP. Everybody from
the Super Bowl last year when we were where was
it New Orleans, they all came up to our show.
All you gotta do is Sakuon Barkley, You'll beat the Eagles.
(34:54):
That was the game play. Remember that Sakwan had negative
thirty five yards and they rolled over the Chiefs stop it,
and Jalen Hurts delivered every play that they needed.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
Carry him.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
I right, and I'm not saying he's an all world quarterback,
but you can win with him.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
He's been to two Super Bowls.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Even the one they lost, he played well in that
one against the Chiefs.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
Well, listen, Rob, are you trying to improve your team
every year? Sure?
Speaker 4 (35:21):
Okay, So if they're if they if they're saying they
want to get a quarterback and be get his eventual replacement,
I don't think anything's wrong with that. But the way
they're reporting it and making it seem like because he
had a couple of bad games, they need to take
him out, but they equate.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
Them to know no, no, And we talked about it
on your show before. I told you he is a
Tier two quarterback.
Speaker 4 (35:45):
Hurts, but in those big games in the Super Bowl,
he outperforms the other quarterback.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
At one point this year they won twenty five of
twenty what was it, twenty five, twenty five and five,
Remember at that stretch before they started losing. And I
get it, when you start losing, you start looking at it,
looking at what's the issue here?
Speaker 3 (36:02):
Whatever? Whatever? And uh Aj Brown in that game.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
And I'm not making excuses for Carson Wentz because he
had I mean Carson Wentz for Jalen Hurds because he
had all those turnovers. But Aj Brown dropped a couple
of big plays in that game. They easily could have
won they only lost by field goaling overtime.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
Yeah, there were some drop balls out there by AJ
for sure. But Jalen has to be better. Rob, there
is no doubt. He's got to be able to read
defenses and make make the throwers and right. And during
the season he hasn't done that to the to the
level we expected.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
Not at all.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
All right, coming up our number three. Can you believe
we're in the third hour already?
Speaker 3 (36:36):
Nope?
Speaker 1 (36:37):
And it's a Friday Friday, and next Friday, I'm gonna
be at your show.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
We'll talk about that, right all right?
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Coming up, NFL execs are right about Philip Rivers. I
can't wait to talk about that.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
They all are.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Predicting something and for once they're in lockstep with yours, truly,
robbed walk rare.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
Okay, you need to do stick and stay America.
