I'm laughing and showing for thes live right now. Look

welcome with my co host Kelvin w finn Yo.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I feel all, you know, obviously running around Christmas shopping

tired and all the Christmas treats, I feel block. I
feel like I look like Philip Rivers right now. It
was just showing him Rob he out here looking oh
he literally bent over rubbing his knees crazy.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
All right, let's welcome into cup. We got a lot
to get to.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Odd Couple crew wouldn't be able to do this five
radio program without him. Rob G is our producer, what
Mexican is, Alex is our uh, Alex is our engineering.
Speaker 4 (04:19):

Speaker 1 (04:21):

Speaker 4 (04:26):
In his life. Okay, there're Steven Elijah. Let's go here
we go.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Steve is at the h is that the updated ste
He'll keep us updated throughout the program, and of course
Elijah our social media guru, one of the best in
the business. All right, let's get there. Let's get to
your Detroit Lions. And I'm not gonna sit here and
make a big stink about it.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
But I told you, did you tell me? I told you?
Speaker 3 (04:51):
And we have a Jordan's bet, And I know that
they're not officially eliminated.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
I know that.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Are they gonna make the black what I'm saying, Yeah,
I ain't got no choice.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Yeah No, they're not going to affect the player. Yeah,
you on it and I got to ride it out.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
And we've seen crazy things happen now really my brain.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
No, But.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Anyway, they're not in it because if you look at
that deep didn't you sort of run defense yesterday? They
gave up two hundred and thirty yards on the ground
to the Steelers who can't run the ball.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
No, t J.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Watt, I mean just you could go look up and
down and needed calls at the end. Oh, I can't
believe passing, the offensive passing apperance or whatever it was
it was.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
You know you're saying the last one was the last
one for sure.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Also, and also the Steelers had a offensive passing appearance
as well, they had one earlier in the game, so
they had a touchdown taking off the board. I'm talking
about the last one. There's no doubt in my mind.
But I'm not surprised here that the Lions took a
step back this season, and it the reason that I
(06:02):
said that they would not make the playoffs has nothing
to do with my hate for Detroit. Hey for the Lions,
Hey for Dan Gambles call NFL analysis is why I
bring up that I've covered the league since nineteen eighty seven.
I really take a look at this stuff, and you
can't lose two coordinators and have it not affect anything.
(06:23):
And that's the part that was the reason why I
said it, and I even told you that they can
win nine or ten games and not make the playoffs,
which they might. If they split the last two, they'll
have ten wins and not make the playoffs. And that
is exactly what I was talking about about that division,
about that team, about Dank Campbell, Dan Gamble again, early
(06:46):
in the game, there was a field goal to be had.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
You take that field goal early on.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Guess what you're setting up for a game winning field goal,
keep your season alive and well where you still would
even have a chance at the division. So this comes
as no surprise to me at all. It ain't based
on hate, it's not it's facts, not feelings. And I've
seen other teams lose both of their coordinators and take
(07:11):
a step back. I told you the division was better, right, Packers,
Bears way better, and even the Vikings who gave you
the death blow, the Minnesota Vikings right on your home field,
that's the game that killed them. I'm not surprised. I
(07:34):
told you the Lions window was closed, and I'm more
confident today that they let the Steelers come into their
building with the season on the line, and they got
roughed over. They got worked over like a burger and
fries on both lines offensive and defensive line.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Well, I think you'll give a little too much to
the Steelers, But I have a whole lot of issues. Specifically,
I'm gonna start with Dan Campbell and his gambles. And
I've been here on the air off the air telling
you the same thing. I don't like those, And the
same phrase I keep using is as if he didn't
know this, and he should because he played football, he
was an assistant coach for years and he's obviously been
(08:12):
a head coach for years. It's called situational awareness and
the idea that you would just walk into something going, well,
this is just what we do, this is just who
we are. Yeah, And that's also called the definition and
say he's doing the same thing over expecting different results.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
And to me, Dan Campbell put his.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Team in multiple situations multiple games this year where they
were in these games and had a chance to win
it to lose. If you go back to what he
was doing against the Packers, going forward on his own
side of the ball for no reason, not putting, not
taking field goals. Same thing with the Eagles. You remember
how close both of those games were. Right there, you're
right there in the game. You got a chance to
win it. And it's specifically this past one you just
(08:50):
mentioned it. Steals, go down and get a three, all right,
they get a field go no big deal. You go
march down, you kick a field goal, fourth and four
whatever it was fourth and for the goal of the fourth,
what are you doing?
Speaker 4 (09:00):
You tie it up?
Speaker 1 (09:02):
This is called December football, rob You have to make
wise decisions to get into the postseason.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
The whole goal is to get in there. And then
you say, well, you know what, we're here.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
You never know, and he keeps putting himself in his
positions where you know your team is training, you have
a million guys hurt, you know, you're fighting for your life.
They need to lean on you sometimes and you say, guys,
we're taking the three. I know, coach with we're taking
the points because you're disrespecting the game, dispecting the Steelers
in this case, the Eagles another time, and the Packers
(09:32):
another time, and you're disrespecting your team. You work hard
for every yard, especially in December. This is when teams
are locking in, they're getting focused for the postseason or
trying to make a postseason run. So that was the
first thing that I had issues with Secondly, what the
heck we talked about this before. I don't know what's
going on with their personal training staff, but them in
(09:52):
the forty nine Ers, they got they got some real
issues with guys.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Regularly, it's football. Everybody's gonna get hurt.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
They are regularly having big time guys, small guys, middling
guys get hurt. To the tune of what's going on,
is that how they're practicing. Are they practicing too hard?
You know, pads all the time, not taking some days off.
There's something going on where they always are out. They're
always entered the middle of.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Seven and a half point favorites at home game, even
with the injuries. But Steelers were missing some some players.
But you can't keep leaning on that. And they should
have beaten this. They should have beaten the Steelers. That
you should have, whether it be the field, go out
there and to win one or should be touched out.
Where we will disagree is I do think that was
a touchdown because we see that play all the time
in the NFL. I mean teams, some teams make literal
(10:36):
habits of that play.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Both of them. The first one.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
The first one, I have to me that's the one
I have a big issue with. It happens all the time,
and not to mention if you watch it and if
they show it again, he literally pushed the defender, pushed
the receiver Tesla into the defender.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
You're the only one on this band wagon. You get you.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
I be guarantee if a Rob g he would say
the same thing. I just I just think I'm not
even that wasn't even where I led the show, So
I'm not acting like I didn't say that was the
sole reason anybody who.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Watched that you give up to you give up three
explosive plays five yards or more, you expect to win
that game.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
In the NFL, it happens all the time the game, No,
it happens all the time. You go get yours, but
they got they You can't let the Steelers who don't.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
Want to.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Thirty yards on you. You cannot get the ball right
on you like that. And so that's it. That's a
big game that you cannot afford and order.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
The Lions had three plays for negative two yards, and
of course the safety there.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
That was they played. They played poorly and still had
a chance to win it. And I go back to
you kick the field goal, you were winning by one,
You wipe the sweat off your forehead and you go.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
We walked away.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
The Super Bowl era, only seven teams have gone from
the number one overall seed to not making the playoffs
the next year.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
The Lions have a chance.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
They have a big chance to do that. And I'm
highly disappointed.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
The number one seed last year obviously, and it's right there.
To give me the Lions best win this.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Year, we had to pull up everything. I don't have
it off the top of my head.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Because because this is another one when you take a
look at the Lions season and be honest with yourself,
because they haven't beaten anybody.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
The one team they beat wasn't the team that they
are now.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
That's the only game that they've won against the good
like a good team.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
The Cowboys are a good team. The on these teams
are under five hundred.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
What I'm saying, we can't with my point is you
can't do that like they're good or great at the time,
because you.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Get to see what a team is and it's at
the end of the year.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
But I'm saying they two seconds ago, we were saying
that that Jerry Jones got it right, we all him
an apology.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Then they go off and lose and and but no,
that's not that.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
I'm just saying when they do versus five hundred teams,
just your final record. It's not your record when the
season starts and you will one and oh or two
and oh.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
But they should win. The Bucks are bad.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
They're saying that was a good win at the time,
and I'm saying they should have the right there with
the Eagles.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
They should have won the right there in the pack
Ravens are under five hundred. The Bucks are under five hundred.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
The only the only win that they got over a
good team now is the Bears.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
And they were bad, and they didn't close out against
a handful of good teams they had a chance, for instance,
the Steelers, the Rams, the Packers. I mean, they didn't
close out absolutely win an't eat right what I'm saying.
They didn't close out against these teams that are good,
either good or great teams that they had a chance.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
To eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Now, they got a hope, they own a hope and
wishes they got to do their part win the last
two and then hope that the you know, they.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Faught away that ninety will get you on the sub
I mean, okay, don't act like we ain't never seen
it before.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Literally, they go to do it. I told you, yes,
I have no choice. But I'm saying, do you believe it?
Speaker 4 (13:48):
You believe it. You believe they're.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Gonna they can beat the two teams they gonna make
the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
I'm saying they can do their part.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
They beat the Vikings and to beat the Bears, they
literally that's not a far fretch for them.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
To senior defense. Lately, they're giving up thirty two points
a week.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Are you serious? Okay, so the team you just said
they got a ton of injury, Yes, and you're that
as an excuse me. You're win their last two weeks.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
The Vikings and Bears aren't some juggernauts that they can't beat,
That's all I'm If you'd have told me they have
to beat the Rams and they got to beat the Patriots,
then I would have easily told you know, they gotta
beat the Vikings and what.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Their issue that you don't understand is they can win
those two games and still.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Not make just said that. I said, the only thing
you can do is control your part. And I said,
if they're going to make the playoffs, they're going to
do their part.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Are they going to make the play Yes, we have
a pair of Jordans on it. So what do you
want me? I said, yes, back in the summer.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Okay, eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. Are you
surprised by the Lions fall off this season? And how
much blame does Dan Campbell deserve in all of this?

he ain't wrong.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Antonio in Miami, you're on the odd couple of Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 6 (17:55):
I definitely think that cocaine Wayne Fonts is having a
snow party and whatever he did for not being one
of the worst coaches in life's history. You can just
see Dan Campbell's Rudolph Faith glowing as like one of
the uh with red red whiteness, as like one of
(18:18):
the uh, you know, violinists on the Titanic going down. Yeah,
prompade all over. It's like, this is how we do things.
And I'll bet anyone there or anyone out there that
a Dunlan Wings at Jordan's Restaurant that Ben Johnson and
the Bears get their Super Bowl before Detroit.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
There you go appreciate the call eight seven, seven ninety
nine on Fox appreciation as possible.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
I mean, they got a long leeway. Dre in Michigan,
you're on the couple of Fox Sports Rade.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
I think Dray said I was a hater and I
hate the Lions, and I was wrong, right, Draight, Well,
two things he'll be true.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
First of all, you are hater, that's two things. Two
things can't be true. Rob, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 10 (18:58):
Right, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 11 (18:59):
But as I told you, my brother, the one that
don't like.
Speaker 10 (19:02):
You, you cool with me because you always spoke the truth
with you?
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Was it?
Speaker 10 (19:04):
But I ain't gonna talk about that.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
What's your brother's name? I just want to know for
my own.
Speaker 10 (19:10):
Oh he O call know it just back when he
used to write for the Trade News because you used
to tell the truth all the time. He like that.
But but no, I put this on Dan campbell Man.
He's been about three or four games this year. Had
he just you know, played situational football, Okay, I'm gonna
punt instead of going for it, you know you you
could have changed the outcome of the game. And I
(19:31):
actually agree with you when you said I ain't think
I thought they were gonna make the playoff. I didn't
think it's gonna be great. But they didn't make any
moves to get better. Everybody made moves to get better
in our division except for the lunch. You can't sit.
You're got the Kansas City Chiefs, where you got Super bowls.
He can lean on.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
What did their general manager home tell everybody, brat home,
Brad home.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
We're good. That's what he's said when they asked him
about you. We're good. Yeah, they are, but why can
we be great? Thanks? I'm at at You know that
they are good, but they could be great?
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Who that Ray in Seattle? You're on the odd couple
of Fox Sports Radio?
Speaker 4 (20:04):
What's up?
Speaker 12 (20:05):
Ray?
Speaker 5 (20:06):
Hey?
Speaker 10 (20:06):
What's going on?
Speaker 11 (20:07):
Gentlemen?
Speaker 10 (20:08):
Oh, such a pleasure to be on.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
Happy holidays? Right, yes, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 11 (20:12):
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas. Yeah.
Speaker 10 (20:14):
So a couple of things.
Speaker 11 (20:15):
One, uh, it's not a surprise they dropped off. One
they lost their coordinators.
Speaker 6 (20:21):
Two, they didn't.
Speaker 11 (20:22):
Pick anybody on defense after all the issues they had
last year. And number three, how could they not put
in a game plan to use arguably the best backfield
ind the NFL with Montgomery Ayes for fifteen yards?
Speaker 4 (20:36):
I know?
Speaker 6 (20:38):
Right?
Speaker 11 (20:38):
And then the last thing is Campbell keeps acting this way,
he's gonna end up like the guy in San Diego
or La Staley with Oceananigan.
Speaker 6 (20:46):
He's going to be out the doors.
Speaker 11 (20:48):
So thank you, gentlemen, Happy holidays and happy.

I see that again.

I'm not gonna wish you and marry Christmas.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
That's the fattiest thing. Hang up the phone, Rob, I
don't care if it's a lie. Third, I'm not wishing

and marry Christmas.
Speaker 4 (23:16):

Every goal starts with an assist on and off the field.
That's why haley On and US Soccer are launching for
the Assists, which is a celebration of everyday acts of
support that helped people achieve their goals with iconic brands
like Cinsinai and Toms voltairean Advilain sentrum. To learn more,
go to haley on assists dot com. On the way,
we got Player of Today Checho City as well. But
let's talk about this from yesterday during the game, DK
(23:43):
Metcalf got into it with the fan Rob G and
h which in real time you're kind of like, well,
what's going on? We can tell and obviously you look
at sports in general. The last couple of years seems
like we've seen this happen more and more. But we
finally got a little bit more details in the league
has finally come down as well.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
Yeah, it really is a he said, he still give
that a minute. But the big story, the big headline
of all this is that DK Metcalf, Steelers superstar wide
receiver has been suspended for the last two games of
the regular season, which is important because in Week eighteen,
if they don't get the job done this Sunday, it'll
be for all the marbles, potentially in the AFC North
against the Baltimore Ravens if he's playing, So DK will appeal,
(24:24):
is hoping to get it down to one game, but
we'll see what happens.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Again.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
Going back to what happened, it is a he said,
he said. The fan in question, Ryan Kennedy, has apparently
got into a DK before, dating back to when he
played for the Seahawks, and Kennedy told the Detroit Free
Press that all he did was called DK Metcalf by
his government name, and that's what spawned this whole thing.
According to Chad Ocho Cinco formerly knowned as Chad Johnson,
(24:50):
DK's version of it is that this fan called him
the N word and called his mother the sea word,
neither one of which can be proven either way. But
the long story short is DK Metcalf got upset, ran
up on this fan on the sidelines, grabbed him by
his collar, pulled him by it and kind of reached
out like he was gonna slap and didn't really make
a connection. But he is now suspended for two games.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
You always got to do the pemp slap because that
doesn't leave marks for the police.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
I'm just saying, yeah, what in the world can be
some knuckles. I've been here something on the back hand
grabbing some knuckles.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Rob, caution this, that's not very Christmas ely of you
as well, Christmas Eve, I've discussed the look of what
I'm not gonna.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
Wish you merry Christmas. Christmas. The disgust on Alex's face,
I can't.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Believe you say that we overheard Christmas Time Family Friends
Joey from you over hear pimp slapping. I'm talking about
no evidence, no no trace, no case.
Speaker 8 (25:46):
Listen, get a soap and put in the sock later.
But you gotta admit, in the old movies in the
fifties and many listen, they were slapping the ladies up.
And I know that sounds crazy, but we're not being
funny like they really were.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Alex, you watched those old movies in the four He's
in fifties people getting pimp slap slapped, all the time.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Card, right, I mean, what was going on back? They
need to is it?
Speaker 3 (26:08):
There must be a video of the greatest slaps in
TV or movie.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
We had just said thirty seconds ago.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
I thought you were gonna say they put disclaimers like yo,
we was wilding back in the day.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
You know, he was a little crazy. We were wrong
for these things. That's what.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
There's one out there on social media where the mother
slaps the daughter because she was in a hotel with
a guy or whatever, and she pulls the Christmas tree
down with her and she gets, you know, like the drop.
She pulls the tree down, and then she looks up
at her mother says Merry Christmas, mama, that is.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
And then what if she said, I ain't gonna wish
you merry Christmas?
Speaker 3 (26:47):
You know, hey, in this case here with Metcap, the
league had no choice.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
It's spelled out.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
You can't go into the stands, you can't confront col security.
That's just not your place. All you're doing is opening
up the league to be liable. You to be liable,
the team to be liable. Everybody that that's what you're
You're inviting a lawsuit.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
So that's what he don't do. I told Robgi big suit.
He re the guy already's lowered up. Lawyered up, right, Robber.
I told robg he was like, well, why would he
lawyer up if he didn't do anything? I say, layer up,
because he's about to get two fifty. They're gonna say,
give us a million. DK's people will say, here's one hundred.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
Shut up. They'll say give us five DK. They will
settle it to.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
They're gonna and they'll settle because if you go to
court and and say and he said, and he said
the stuff that that that he alleges, it's a he said,
she said, and they might just throw it out because
you don't have proof on either.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
You got a chance you say that, Johnnoyer, you.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Say him saying his full government name would not enrage
him enough to actually feel like he needed to do something.
So just logically you take the check as a as
a jury member, you don't believe that him saying his
full name is the reason that he was iry.
Speaker 5 (28:03):
Here's something that gots to be has to be noted.
There are fan videos of the interaction. I've seen them.
The problem is you don't see what led to d
When they started all you see is him saying the
Garius what's going like and then getting really upset. So
if you didn't have that as your argument that I
only called him by his government name, the only video
that we've seen that exists is just that part.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
Well that's what I'm saying. Already was over there, D
already I had to call him, all right, so he
didn't call him that, and then he went over there.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
The video starts with DK already kind of looking mad
at him, ticked off, Lauri like, and he gets Inchine
closer and closer. So yeah, absolutely, he probably says something.
Maybe it's a split the difference, you know, it's something
in the middle. But he said the one thing I'll
say real quick for he break the difference. Why DK
could have maybe stalled himself out his own self more
though so than like the NBA fans are right up
(28:53):
on you. In the NBA, right up on you there.
You know this, You've been a million, one hundred and
fifty million games. They're fifteen feet away. In some cases
you gotta walk all the way to sideline. Then it's
a huge you know, wall up there typically in the NFL,
so maybe you can stall it out.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Take some little taken breath. With the NBA, they're right
in your face.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
And that's to me and why it makes it a
little bit more different, why it's more confrontational when it
comes to the NBA happening all right on the way
playing today, sheckl City plus me. I'll get you ready
for this Monday night football game as well. We'll do

Speaker 1 (32:33):
Second with the YouTube Beans saying in the Odd Mob
on YouTube, Rob g will.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
Be got Mondays are always festive ready to get to
us because there's conversations bubbling up that have nothing new
what we're talking about, because they're waiting for it to
come up later in the show, like oh, I can't
wait till they talk about this, and it's like, well,
I don't even we're gonna get to it, but they're
gonna go off about it. So just a few of
things that we have talked about. Jarvis Jones says, when
(32:59):
I was inhigh school, this girl invited me to her
house after school, her mama came home, stopped to taste
out of my mouth.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
Okay, that's relatable. You know we've been there. I got caught,
I got caught, uh in. Me and my boy had
to hide in the closet. I'm like, got my dad's
come home. Me and my boy? WHOA, what do you mean?
You and your boy were going there? Crazy? Wow? What's
going on? This story mean.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Girl's dad came home. How you got that? And he
was like, who's somebody been up here? And her and
her friend and all of a sudden he opened the door.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
He was just sitting there. You should have started with, hey,
we were get girl and Alex. I started with at
this girl's house and me and my buddy some name right,
But I'm still riding. I did say that. Dang it.
Inns in Love is eighth grade.
Speaker 5 (33:43):
Clay says DK is an idiot. Tomlin always been dealing
with bad attitude players. That reflects on him somehow. I
don't know if I would agree with that.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
I don't agree with that DK was going because DK
was this guy in Seattle.
Speaker 4 (33:54):
Yes he was, if you read.
Speaker 5 (33:55):
Why they traded him, one of the reasons they traded.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
Yeah, he was always getting in trouble.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
He had was at fifteen fifteen yard penalties, which is crazy,
which is create for a receiver Like okay, that's if
defensive player. I get it, because you got to make players.
You gotta be tough. You got to tackle for a receiver.
That's why Rob G can you find out for me?
Speaker 4 (34:10):
I'm just curious.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
It's said the Lions had two hundred and sixty seven
injury games, the second most in the NFL. I'm just
curious who's the first team because it didn't listen who
the first team was.
Speaker 4 (34:19):
It have to be like the Niners, Niners. I guess
those two teams are the but.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
I want to know because I want to see, like
where are they? Are they in the playoffs or out?
Like what was the team to the sixty seven games
second most? But I'm just curious which was the first team? Yeah,
to see where they fit in and if you and
if you look at it, over the last few years,
every team that finishes with in the top three to
they all not make the playoffs, Like like you.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Have to get me saying most get missed, like players
miss this year, because that's a weird stack.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
I don't sixty seven games is what I saw.
Speaker 4 (34:52):
I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Yeah, I have to see the stack, and I don't
know if they're saying over a period of time over
this one season.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
It said this year, So like, guys, I just got
me eight that guy.
Speaker 5 (35:01):
That sounds incorrect because as of last week that's what
this was coming into. Yeah, last week, the Bears had
led the league at two forty. Okay, but and then
Lions were at two twenty six. But they have another
forty game, Like how many guys they got here?
Speaker 3 (35:16):
Right?
Speaker 4 (35:16):
But they said to not crazy Roger, honestly.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
But but but but that's my point, rob G about
the Bears is that they got to having a great season,
and they've had as.
Speaker 5 (35:26):
As of last week, in order, it was Bears, Lions, Bills, Niners, Chargers.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
Four of those five are in the playoffs. And that
and that's my thing.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
When people use injuries as the reason why the Lions
fell off, it's just nobody.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
I didn't say that that's the reason why. I believe
it can cost you a game. But they are what.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
I'm just saying. You're looking at the other teams.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
It's like if you if you showed me in the
top five teams, none of them were in the playoffs,
then I could buy into the injury.
Speaker 4 (35:53):
Oh that's why I was more on the gamble that
more than anything for me.
Speaker 5 (35:57):
Last one from the YouTube, beans Z Maine said, and man,
Robb ain't been this right since twenty nineteen when the
Raptors in Nationals won championships.
Speaker 4 (36:04):
That's right, that's a long.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
Time to go then I picked both, right, rob g
I've got both of those rule and the Nationals.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Oh yeah, that's where pair Jordans came from, right, that's right. Yeah,
I wouldn't hear, but all right, yeah, will it be?
Speaker 4 (36:17):
Will you be sick that you have to bam me
Jordans if the lines don't make it? Or no?
Speaker 1 (36:20):
You cool wabbi, you know, because being if it was
just a pick, I would be more mad they didn't
make it legitimately than the Jordan's meaning I'm a fan
first of them, you know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (36:29):
So I would love for them to go to the super Bowl.
That'd be great.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
So that would take me off that they're actually not
in the playoff, meaning we could have bet on something else.
Oh and you Jordans would make me mad, but more
so that they're not going to be in it, meaning
like if the bet was just the Steelers or just
the Ravens or something. The fact that the Lions are
sitting here with a basically no chance of making the
postseason is dumb. Win just the two games or so
that you would need to be in. They were in
(36:53):
those games and cost themselves. Mostly that is frustrating.
Speaker 4 (36:57):
Dan Campbell. He allergic the field goes Rob, I'm just.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
Saying, like, what what what they're together? Like a year
and a half, you guys, like a year, a year
and a half, something like that. Two pair of Jordans
in the year and a half. That's not Seriously, I'm
not I don't mind. Let's let's be on. We up
against We'll be honest about Rob twenty nineteen pick.
Speaker 5 (37:17):
He gets credit for the Raptors, but before that, he
had the Warriors all season until Katie got hurt and
and the viral clip we had was no KD, no title.
Speaker 4 (37:26):
Well but that's why.
Speaker 5 (37:27):
But but Rob gets credit for picking the Raptors as.
Speaker 4 (37:30):
If he picked you, but I picked the nation.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Have told me that you said Patrick Mahonmes wasn't gonna
win another one after he won the first one.
Speaker 4 (37:43):
Did you say that, Rob? Did he say that?
Speaker 6 (37:46):
No?
Speaker 4 (37:46):
I did not say that.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
All I know too is odd you're steals picked with
seven wins.
Speaker 4 (37:53):
No, seven wins,
