Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number two hour two from
the coaching Carousel we go? And why why are the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers about the dump Byron Left, which their
offensive coordinator? How come NFL teams continue to get bamboozled

(00:22):
hornswaggled by the coaching hiring process or process? And what
does this particular move tell you about Tampa bag the
dismissal soon to be of Byron Left, which we'll talk
about that and more right now in our number two

(00:46):
exit Stage Left, which what well come in the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Maller Show. We are
in the air everywhere in cahoots as we flourish in
the quietest darkest hours of the night, coast to coast,

(01:08):
border to border and beyond all the past and a
rightfully powerful microphones of FSR emanating live from the code

road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended installers tirerac
dot com the way tire buying should be. So are
leading this hour coming from Tampa Bay. It's no longer
Tampa Bay. Tom Brady has one foot out the door.
He's a free agent now that the season has ended,
and we'll likely go on to greener pastures. But the Buccaneers,

(01:54):
who had a lethargic that's been kind performance. They sucked
at a time you cannot suck against the Cowboys on
Monday Night. Now the autopsy is being done on why
they blew this season. The sad sacked Tampa Bayed squad
a losing record. They only made the playoffs because they

(02:15):
were less bad than Atlanta, New Orleans and Carolina. So
they had a bad regular season, failed to meet the
expectations of Tom Brady. Tom Brady failed to meet their expectations.
And so now this is where the rubber meets the road,
and that leads to what we're gonna talk about right now. Now,
if you have not heard, heads are starting to roll allegedly.

(02:38):
Now if not, we have learned that the Buccaneers are
expected the Buccaneers are expected to say bye bye to
their offensive coordinator, Byron Leftwich. It is important to note
that Todd Bowles, the embattled head coach, says that he
has not made a final decision on left which is future.

(03:01):
But my experience is this, when a head coach is
asked whether or not they're planning to keep an assistant.
If the plan is to keep the assistant, they say, oh,
I'm gonna keep this guy. If they say if they
say anything other than that, it's the coach is done.
That's it. And when Boll says he hasn't made a decision,
that means he is considering strongly getting rid of left

(03:24):
Which and that is likely to going to be the
thing that happens now. Tampa Bay overall was ranked fifteenth
in offense, but that is misleading. That as average as
it is, but it's a one dimensional offense in Tampa.
So let us discuss the question why why are the
Buccaneers planning on dumping at one time the hot detrot

(03:49):
offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich, So why are they getting rid
of him? My observations, I've got ASTech, Madman and spring leaning,
and we will lock all of these things together and
we are going to make one of those nice cigars
that you can get in Tampa. And you don't need

(04:11):
to wait for a win because the Bucks are probably
not gonna win many games anytime soon, so you can
just smoke a cigar without having to wait for the
Bucks to win a game. So Number one Tampa Brass

(04:36):
decided it would appear to give Todd Bowls a little
more rope, another swing in the batting cage, go back
into the tea and tee it up again. Right. He
was the handpicked replacement by Bucko Bruce. Even though I
believe the conspiracy theory, I'm gonna put on my tinfoil
hat right now. I believe the conspiracy theory that Bruce

(04:57):
arians was forced out by Tom Brady and that they
decided on Todd Bowls. But they clearly have decided at
some point they want to keep Todd Bawls. Some level
they want to keep Todd Bowls, even though his resume
has a lot of blank spots. Since Todd Bowls, we
assume the position is coming back as the head coach
after one season. You have to find someone to point

(05:20):
the finger at. And the Buccaneers are following an ancient
ritual that goes back to the Aztec days in Mexico
human sacrifice. They're using the human sacrifice, a very elaborate
ritual practiced back in the day and considering the ineptitude

(05:41):
of the Buccaneer offense in twenty twenty three, it's only
natural that ownership, looking down from their luxury box wouldn't say,
you know what, we need to red tag that left
which we got to get rid of him. Now the
question again is why, Well, there's NFL code enforcement that
was not impressed with Left, which in his job he

(06:02):
failed to adapt. And much of life, and certainly in
the industrial complex of professional sports, it's Darwinism right. If
you adapt to your surroundings, you will be fine. If
you do not, that's it. You're done. There was not
enough attention to detail. Creativity was a lacking. Creativity was

(06:24):
lacking the nerds. I saw this stat bouncer, and actually
it was sent to me by a Charger fan, not
a Buccaneer fan. But the nerds determined that the Buccaneers
and the Chargers both had the most predictable play calling
on wildcard weekend. Do you see this? You didn't see this.
So Tampa was the worst in the NFL among the

(06:46):
playoff teams. The Cowboys perfectly guest or just randomly got
it right sixty percent sixty percent of the plays that
Tampa Bay ran the Dallas d anticipated what they were
going to run, and they had them fully covered. According
to the Nerds Pro Football Focus, the Chargers were the

(07:08):
second worst, just a hair behind Tampa Bay, as Jacksonville
properly defended fifty eight point one percent of the LA
Chargers offensive plays. It is interesting to note that Joe
Lombardi was also excommunicated from the Chargers the offensive coordinator.
He took the bullet for his coach and the left which,

(07:31):
although Todd Bohle says no decision has been made, it
is the case where the Bucks will be moving forward
without their offensive coordinator barring some kind of dramatic, drastic
turn of events. So it is also interesting to point
out that the Giants did the best, which means as
good as all the rest, But this actually means better

(07:52):
than all the rest in confusing the Vikings, but I
believe that as more of a byproduct of the Vikings
not being able to play defense, then it is great
offense by the Giants. Now at page two, how come
the NFL as a business continues to get bamboozled by
coaching hires in less than a year. Byron Leftwich was

(08:18):
on He was right there he was the belle of
the ball left Witch and now here we are a
year later, he's persona on Grota and if you go
into the hot tub time machine. Leftwich was the favorite.
He was the chosen one for Jacksonville. He had the
job in twenty twenty two. The legend is that Jacksonville

(08:39):
was gonna name Byron Leftwich the head coach. He had
the job one of thirty two head football coach Byron Leftwich.
And what did he do? He was a hot shot
offensive dynamoll right Tampa Bay had that whole thing. The
world was his oyster. He made demands. He made demands.

(09:04):
He said, I don't want your little job there in
Jacksonville unless you get rid of the GM. Trent Balkie.
I can't work with that guy. He's not a good executive.
So Shot Khan thought about it, he contemplated it. Said
we're good, we're done. We're gonna keep the GM. We're
not gonna fire the GM to hire you, and the
rest is history. Shot Kahn fire he didn't hire. He

(09:28):
didn't hire left which he also did not fire balk
He hired Doug Peterson X of the Philadelphia Eagles and
now Jacksonville is high falutin and they are in the playoffs.
They've won a game. Now they're a couple of wins
away from dare I say, the Super Bowl? And as
for Byron Left, which he's now licking his wounds. And

(09:50):
as they said in Man Men, that the little old show.
Not onlymore, that's that's life. Right one minute, you're on
top of the world. The next minute some secretaries running
you over with a lawnmower. And right now Left which
is being run over by lawnmower. And he'll get another job,
whether it's Pittsburgh or Washington, someone else he'll hire him.
He'll get a gig in the NFL. But he was

(10:10):
on the brink of being a head coach, and now
he's got the stank of some cooties from losing this job,
and that will stay with him until he does something
else to wash that away. Maybe he can get some
hand sanitizer. But what a twisted reality. The NFL fucked
This guy was good enough to be a head coach

(10:30):
a year ago, and now he's not even good enough
to be the offensive coordinator Tampa anymore, which tells you
that these NFL teams are just blindly guessing. They don't
have any more knowledge. They have no more wisdom than
you or I. They don't know what the hell they're doing.
It's the chaos theory of the universe, right, everyone's just
making crap up. Nobody knows anything, all right, Final points,

(10:52):
So what does this Byron left which moved by Tampa
which is not official official, but it appears about to
be official that in the coming days, coming weeks, that
left which will be relieved of his duties of the
offensive coordinator. So what does that Bibran left which move
suggest for Tampa. So if to me on this side
of the microphone, it confirms that Tom Brady is gonzo.

(11:15):
Otherwise you would want continuity. I think Tom Brady wants
a new offensive coordinator. No, come on, the Bucks are
getting a jump on the spring cleaning. I know it's
only January, but they're making room for the new regime.
It's just business. It's a business decision. And connecting the
dots us to play that. You connect the dots, fun game.

(11:38):
But when you connect the dots go where the evidence
takes you. And it's a logical conclusion that the Buccaneer
quarterback room will have a fresh, vibrant, youthful. Look, there's
nobody older than Tom Brady, so they're guaranteed to get
a younger quarterback, and they're gonna get their new franchise quarterback.
Is it true that tamp has their eye on a

(12:00):
fixer upper quarterback? Is it also true the early buzz
is that the Buccaneers will be a popular dumping ground
for failed young quarterbacks in recent years? Are those names
Justin Fields, Tray Lance, and Jordan's Love? Will one of

(12:23):
those three be the new quarterback in Tampa Bay circa
twenty twenty three. Inquiring minds would like to know Justin
Fields is dicey? He excited people. He's a terrible throwing quarterback,
great running back. The passing stats were bybically bad. Do
the Bears keep him or do they draft a quarterback

(12:47):
with the number one pick? And you look around, Tray Lance.
If Brock Purty wins two more games, forget three. If
he wins two more it gets to the super Bowl,
you gotta bring him back. Win the Super Bowl, give
him a contract. But Trey Lance has gone at that point,
Jordan Love, are the Packers really gonna get rid of

(13:12):
the big cheese Aaron Rodgers and give Jordan Love the job,
or are they gonna trade Jordan Love and start over
hit the reset button. Inquiring minds would like to know,
but I guarantee it is not gonna be Kyle Trask
or blame Gabbert. That's the replacement for Tom Right. Then
there's other options the Bucks want to go crazy, they

(13:33):
can trade for Lamar Jackson signed Jimmy Garoppolo, something along
those lines. But the word is that that is the
location for one of those young hot shot quarterbacks who
hasn't quite figured it all out yet or even gotten
the opportunity, like Jordan Love, Justin Fields, Trey Lance one
of those three, all right, is the Bennet Maller Show.

(15:44):
was good, so we began this. I were talking about
the sorry state of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as they
are about to say bye bye to Byron Left, which
they haven't done it yet, but I'm anticipating they're waiting
for him to get an their job lined up and
then and we all, he's a signer to pursue all
their opportunities in Pittsburgh or Washington or tm X. Japhoemie

(16:08):
in Chicago says Matt Nagy was once a head coach
and coach of the year. Yeah. Well, the coach of
the Year thing is a a curse. That is an
absolute curse. The Russian Kid writes in He says, Ben,

wide receivers, forty five year old quarterback. Lower your expectations.

Blow it up. He says, that's from the man the
myth legend. The Russian Kid let's go to the phones

(16:51):
and Van the one Legged Man and one legged Bama Man.
We get it right and may do that over Van
the one Legged Bama Man checking in. Hello man, welcome,
How you doing, Benny? I got skinny? Hey man, let
me tell you something many I want to tell you.
I have had some family in town. I'd take a
couple of days off. But one of the stories I

(17:12):
have to tell you are the most masculine caller to
the history of sports radio. That you were bitten your
leg was bitten off by an alligator and you then
ate that gator. That's one of the all time great stories.
And you live that life. You've lived that life. Man,
that's an amazing story. I'm a lucky man. I'm just

(17:33):
blessed there you are. How can we help? What did
you hear about? Or have you painting attention until the killer?
All about a basketball team? I did see. That's a terrible,
terrible story. Man. You make a lot of bad decisions
when you're you're in college, but that's uh, that's that's
the next level. Man. You can't be doing that. What's

(17:53):
wrong with obviously? What are you doing? What a dumbass?
Come on? I know I did some crazy things. I
was in skill in Tesco, but not like that. You
gotta And it's it's hard, I understand, like we're all
like now we're older. So but like he's like, well,
just don't do anything that will screw you up when
you five years from now or ten years from the right,
don't And it's like that's your that's a lifetime situation. There,

(18:14):
You're done. And Henry Ruggs was an Alabama player, Like
what could what? I guess that was the an Alabama
basketball player. Suppose the story I read he gave the
gun to the guy in a drive by that killed
the young lady because of something had happened at a
club right a night spot in Alabama. So I mean,
what do you I mean, what could have been all

(18:35):
our all star leading this he sees scoring um uh
Miller was with him, but he earlier in the night.
And then something I don't know. There was multiple shots
fired between the other vehicle and this vehicle. I don't
know he fired first, but it was Miles's gun and

(18:56):
the other guy fired it. And the law read, if
you want to are shooting into an occupied vehicle, somebody
gets killed. Everybody in that car, even if you didn't
shoot your inn accessory of the murder. Yeah, so, yeah,
it is. It's one of those things. I mean that
those are the laws. They don't want you to hanging
out in a situation where, you know, people get killed.

(19:16):
I understand why those laws are there. It is tough though,
because you always think when I was a kiss, I
want if you pulled the trigger, you're the one that
did it. But you can't be. If you hand the
gun over, you're you're an accessory. You're part of it,
and you get your child, but he won't face as
much of shell time. But it's a terrible situation. And yeah,
I mean there's no I got a question until your
first monologue on the job fair, you know whatever. You're

(19:39):
senior semester, they'll have these people come in. You go
over the student center and you practice interview and you
might get a job. You know, probably not hungover, walks
away across campus, hot as hell, sweating, get in there
and the guy asked me about two questions. That's your
wayments or just stop. That's if you want to hire me.

(20:01):
I got no discipline, I'm hungover. I'm gonna go later down.
You should have seen the look on his interview. I
thought you gonna say. I thought you're saying, well, you
hired you on the spot, because he's like, that's the
kind of guy. I want an honest employee, and this
is an honest guy right there, and I want to
hire the most honest person at this job. Fancy, Yeah,

(20:24):
I was, but I didn't multi damn job anybody. I
hear you, man, I understand who wants to do that?
All right? Man, there you go, Van, the one legged
bamer Man, a show legend. And we go from one
legend to another. A man who has never driven by

I listen, I've never I've never I think I one

(22:57):
time I gave away this. How long ago this is is?
I used to get gift cards for radio Shack to
give out there. I don't even know if they're around anymore.
And I remember, I don't know if I should say
to him because the guy still listened to the show.
But one of the guys I gave one of those
cards to rejected the card because he didn't want to
give his address to us, so he would not take
the gift card. Are you serious? That was very demeaning

(23:19):
to me, because I was like, well, listen, I never
get to give anything out. I do an overnight show.
I don't get any give out. Hey, let me tell
you something funny. Years ago, back before I started driving
ninety eight, I was managed okay, he stored in it
for a long time, and I was managing Kroger's night
night shift. And our boss's name now it's his name now.
His name was Dick Crumball. Dick Crumball. We used to

(23:42):
call him Dick. And so they give when I quit
my job. I give him notice on my birthday's sixteenth
to March back at ninety eight, and I quit on
the seventeenth, which the next day I just wouldn't said,
have a good day, And they give a golf card
away like two days later at this huge ball made
out of plastic. My name was drawn out that thing,

(24:04):
and he had to call me personally because he knew
I didn't like it. He had to call me personally
and tell me, Tracy, you wanted this golf cart? Pretty
pick it up. And dude, I couldn't ever been so
more happy in all my life knowing that Dick had
to give me that golf cart. So I just took
it out, put in my front yard and made good
money off. It was all free money. But it was
just funny knowing and all that time I couldn't stand him,

(24:24):
and then I ended up winning that golf cart. When
when's the funny part? When's the So you just wanted
to tell a Dick story on the air, that's all
you wanted to tell you. All right, listen, an't matter.
I gotta tell you something. I'm out of here, man,
Thank god, I go away, please? All right? We were fun.

(24:53):
I'll never get that time back. Hey, justin Yeah, you
know someday won't be on our deathbed. We're like, I've
only had a few more minutes. No, No No, I heard
I heard that guy on the radio show Yes for
Scratch Off. Till a Dick story on the air. Yeah, yeah,
all right. Be sure to catch live editions of The
Ben Meller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

(25:16):
we're the host of the number one rated show in
all the sports talk, The Folly and Tony Fusco Shop
numero o. No, yeah, and we know why millions of

(25:36):
worst thing. He's still on the shop. You don't know basketball.
If you want to hear how sports talk should be done, ye,
listen to The Folly and Tony Fusco Show on the
iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
Some controversy in the NHL. I guess, oh, I saw this.
I think, are you going to Philadelphia? Eddie? We're going

(25:58):
to Philly. CNN is gonna have that's true. The Flyers
were taken on the Anaheim Ducks, and so they was
they were having Pride night there and in Philadelphia, you know,
you know, a Pride night and the warm up they
had the rainbow jersey and they had the sticks of
the rainbow tape around him. Well, one of the players

(26:21):
for Philadelphia did not want to participate is a defenseman
from Russia. His name is Ivan Provoff. So he didn't
participate in the warm up. He did play in the game,
and so afterwards the reporters are like, well, how come
he didn't do the warm up and he but he
played in the game, and he said, basically, I didn't
want to take part in that for religious reasons. Uh.
They Head coach John Tortorella was asked about it. He

(26:42):
said he respected his decision. But as you can imagine,
that has not been the I don't folks on social
media outrage. Yeah, people should be forced to do this.
I mean, obviously we I mean, he teased their own
but in Russia doesn't putin's not friendly the gays. Is
there a chance that if this guy warned the jersey eddie,

(27:04):
if he went back to mother Russia there, that he
would facing some bats. Though you don't think they that
close attention, don't I don't think they play that close.
If it was maybe Alexander Vetchkin. I mean, everything that
guy does is a big deal, is a big deal racist.
But yeah, I don't. I don't know if they So
you think back in Leningrad they wouldn't care if he
wore the jersey. Okay, I would guess. No, are there

(27:26):
Russian guys other than him that wore the jersey? Is
am I going too deep down my tinfoil hat road here? There?
There's definitely players in the league who are from Russia
who have done it. As far as last night specifically,
were there any other Russian players on the that did it.
I don't. I'm scrolling through and I'm thinking of the

(27:46):
I'm just my conspiracy theory of mind is like, well,
this could be he might be using the religion card,
but it's also like maybe he feels that as possible,
or it's just, hey, I got to go back to
Russia and they don't like the gays in Russia and
so that's a problem and I don't want to deal
with Putin And yeah, I don't. Yeah, I don't see
any of the Russian players on the on the Flyers Ross.

(28:06):
I think I did see the the guy towards who
I love and towards you know, he didn't didn't have
a meltdown when he answered question. He answered one question
about it. Yeah, I was expecting him meltdown or he
didn't meltdown. All right, thank you for that, Eddie. It

So I am not a big fan of the BBC.

(28:52):
I don't watch a lot of BBC stuff. Don't don't
do that, uh you know whatever I've saw on. I
do like the Parliament when they start screaming at each other.
I think their politics is more fun to watch than
our politics. So that's kind of cool. But on a
BC a BBC broadcast of a soccer match recently, the

(29:14):
audio popped up on the Internet. So there's a soccer
match that's going on, and they are showing the soccer
match and then there's some new audio in the background.
Did you see what was playing eddy in the background
of the soccer match? Now you didn't know there was.
It appeared to it sounded like a young lady was

(29:36):
having an orgasm. There was some pornography that sounded like
it was playing in the in the background, and it was.
It was pretty funny because this uh one of the
hosts on the BBC when he figured out what was
going on, which was not hard to figure out, he
was trying to bite his tongue and not laugh and

(29:59):
he then pointed out that he was not expecting that
particular noise and uh yeah. It all happened this week
in FA Cup match between the Wolves and Liverpool and
the broadcaster Gary Linker I believe his name Lanker, was

(30:20):
interrupted by the sound of joined the hell out of
That's great audio. It's easy to find on the internet.
I think TMZ they did have a little clip of
it there, so I do recommend the too much masturbation
the problem here the audio. As far as the bear Jamboree,

(30:40):
the bear Jamboree that would be the new president of
the Chicago Bears, Kevin Warren. Now I'm gonna give Kevin
Warren credit because he went outside the box here. So
this guy's a high faluten Big ten commissioner guy, and
now he's the Chicago Bears president. So he was meeting
with the media this week and this just happened yesterday

(31:05):
and the CEO president CEO of the Chicago Bears talk
to the media about his soul focus for the Bears. Now,
when you think of the soul focus for an NFL CEO,
you would think what the cliche answer would be super Bowls.
I want to win and I want winners, something along

(31:27):
those lines. You want winners. And Kevin Warren got up
there at the dais and said that his sole focus
as the CEO and the president of the Chicago Bears,
his only purpose here is to get a new stadium.
That's it. You all these cares all he cares about it.
Forget Soldierville. He wants a new stadium. Now, the Bears

(31:49):
aren't planning to move out of Chicago proper and into
a new stadium that they will build out in the suburbs.
And you'd say, I don't care about I'm not from Chica.
I have family in Chicago, and I was in Chicago
last year and this came up, This topic of conversation
came up. Was visiting my cousin at her house and
her husband who goes to a lot of Bears games,

(32:12):
and he pointed out to me that that stadium, that
it's this old race track site where they're planning on
building the Bears Stadium, which is gonna be like an
attractable roofed dome, deal, state of the art. Right, It's
like right near where the guy lives out in the suburbs.
So I'm like, wait a minute, I can go, Like
when the Super bowls in Chicago, I could go stay
at my cousin's house, freeload and then not that I'll

(32:34):
be allowed in the Super Bowl, but I could go
and then partake. So of course, looking out for my
own interest there, I mean, I think, jeez, Soldier Field,
the locations great, but we're going to get to the
point that the only team, and obviously the Bears the
only one left. The Lions play indoors, the Vikings play indoors.
When I was a kid, I think of the NFC

(32:57):
North and Chicago and Green Bay Cold West. As I'm
thinking back to my childhood, I think the Vikings always
when I was a kid, they played when I was
literally playing at dome. Most of the time. The Lions
played at the Pontiac Silver Dome. But you always think
of like the Upper Midwest. That's where hardy souls live,
cold snow, people freezing their ass off sitting outside during

(33:18):
a game. And now it's gonna be all domes and
maybe at some point we'll be dead. But they'll put
a dome over lambeau Field. How about that. They'll put
a big bubble over lambeau Field and say, well, because
we want to host the Super anyway, all right, so
the Ben Mallows show, we have Mallard of the third degree.

(35:50):
guests by Matt the Warrior Raider as fan Deshaun Watson
from The Late Night Drug Tester Hard at Work there,
Do you have an answer, Eddie? Please? I need an answer?
Yea been Roethlisberger. Is it Ben Roethlisberger, That is Eddie?
Correct yourself, Roberto, that was only it was only a
couple of years ago, but now it was the COVID stuff,

(36:13):
so nobody was paying attention. You know it was back then.
It's Meller. How about that? To the third degree? This
is one big fan gets quill. I did see Jay
Scoop active on Twitter, so he's doing a little better
what's going on there? Al Michaels got a lot of
slack the past couple of days for his unenthusiastic call

(36:34):
of the jags historic comeback win over the Chargers. Michael's
dismissed it as internet composte. Ben, what do you think? Well,
we mentioned this yesterday. I could. I could watch Al
Michaels and listen to him read Wikipedia pages like random Ricky,
I don't I don't care. I'm a fan of Al Michael.
My problem with it with Dungee Man's Dungee terrible. I
don't understand. He's bad in studio, He's even worth the

(36:56):
worse in the booth. How does he keep getting these gigs?
Explain that Al's fine? Dungee's the problem. Next, CJ. McCullum
was speaking on the Raptors and he said he's been
hearing that something's going on in Toronto and that he
thinks that they are going to move someone at some point, Ben,
who would be your guests as to who the Raptors move?
So the one that's obviously you gotta look at free

(37:18):
agents because nobody resides in Toronto. Nobody goes back to
the Raptors. So Fred van Vliet is the big one,
Gary Trent Junior. Those are the two guys most likely
to be traded because their contracts are up, they have
player options, they are likely going to leave the Raptors,
and so they want to get something rather than nothing.
So I would say the favorite is Fred van Vliet,
and I know the Sons have been mentioned as a

(37:39):
possibly for him, so keep an eye on that. Next though,
the Broncos are mentioned as the front runner for Sean Payton.
Cowboys defense accordinator Dan Quinn actually has the better Vegas
odds to end up as Denver's next head coach. Oh, Ben,
would Quinn be a good fit? Well, come on, you
know the answer too. If you're asking you, you know

(38:00):
you're trying to give me, You're trying to have me
give you a confidence boost. No, dan Quinn is your
generic retread NFL coach who does not listen in Atlantic
had two good years. The rest of the time he
was like Jeff Fisher seven to nine, eight and eight.
That's who he is. He just another guy. He's just
a jag, all right. How do we do quick? Why?
I won the game? I upped the game. I am

(38:22):
a winner. Wh
