Speaker 3 (01:22):
Okay, I want to get to.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
The top five quarterbacks that would benefit the most from
winning a Super Bowl ring this season. And it's a
doozy of a list. That's a it's a tough thing
to put together. Really, I put a lot of thought
into it. I'm gonna share that with you right around
the corner. But I saw a tweet that caught my
attention and I just wanted to share it with you. Okay, Now,
(01:47):
if you were watching Monday night football, or if you
just caught the highlights, that's good enough. At the end
of the game, the Rams are trying to get in
field goal range to tie the game. They weren't able
to do so they lost to the Falcons. Okay, but
Poka Nakua. It's third down. Rams are out their own
(02:07):
thirty five only ten seconds left. Matthew Stafford has to
throw the ball deep down the field and get out
of bounds. Receiver has to catch it get out of bounce.
They can maybe kick a field goal so that's exactly
what happened. Stafford threw a beautiful pass to Poka Nakua.
Looked like he made a sensational catch, dragged his feet,
(02:27):
stuck his left hand out there, just grabbed the ball.
Looked like a brilliant one handed catch. But the replay
showed it was not. The cornerback aj Terrell. Great play
by him. He was just pulling on Puka's arm and
doing that forced the ball to be out of Puka's
(02:48):
control for just a millisecond, like he just lost control
of the ball. His feet weren't in bounds. It's not
a catch. It would have it was like this close.
You can't see my fingers, but my thumb and index
finger they're real close. That's close right to being a
brilliant catch.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
But it wasn't. He lost control of the ball. I
saw this tweet.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I don't know this guy, John Ursella, and he just
tweeted this. It's I'm just gonna read it to you
and then I'll tell you what I think. I think
you probably already know what I think. If this isn't
a catch, just cancel the sport of football. No one
knows what a catch is.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Anymore.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Insane effort by Poka Nakua, unbelievable coordination and hand eye
I see enough control and I see toes.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Dragging game on the line. It's a catch.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
For me.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
This is the dumbest tweet I've read in a long time.
It's like, dude, this idea. Granted, there are some catches
where you're like, okay, he had two feet down, now
he's got to make a football move, and it's like,
what is a football move?
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Was this enough? Does it mean a third step?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Or I get that there's some times where you're like,
is that I don't know if that's a catch or
they're going to rule it a catch or but we
know this much.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
If you're like Pukin.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Nakua and you're along the sideline, you drag your feet,
you have possession of the football. Then for a little bit,
you lose possession of the football, your feet are no
longer in bounds. Textbook, not a catch. I don't care
that it was an insane effort, which it was. I
don't care that it was great hand eye coordination, which
(04:42):
it was. I don't care that the game was on
the line that uh, you know, the toes were dragon
it's not a catch. I don't care that you want
it to be.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
It's not a catch. I wanted it to be a catch,
but he lost control. It's not a catch.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Like, stop rooting for things and be objective. My gosh,
like this idea, we don't know what it catches. I'll
tell you what a catch isn't. It's like losing control
of the ball when your feet are no longer in
bounds and not completing the catch. That's what a catch isn't.
And that's exactly what happened with pukin Nakua. So spare
(05:20):
me the tears on. Oh, it's a catch for me.
That's terrible tweet, terrible tweet. I don't know who that
guy is, but you gotta do better than that, all right.
So some people might be saying that about me. Here
when I unveil a list, I know Ben is anti list.
He thinks it's lazy. I don't rely on lists. I
don't bust out lists left and right. But every now
(05:41):
and then I'll start thinking of something. I'm like, you
know what, I didn't mean for it to be this way,
but this would actually be a really good list. I
was thinking about the quarterbacks that are left that look
to be in the playoffs, and we don't know. We
don't have our playoff field set just yet. We don't
know if it's going to be the Steelers or the
We don't know if it's going to be the Panthers
(06:02):
or Tampa Bay. We don't know that yet. We'll find
out by Sunday. But based on who we think is
going to be in what the quarterbacks? And we know
what twelve of the fourteen already, there's just a couple
of spots we don't know yet of the quarterbacks that
are going to be in the playoffs. Who are the
(06:23):
top five quarterbacks that would benefit the most from winning
a super Bowl? And now let me just say this,
because I'm gonna throw out my list and it's going
to turn into, well what about this guy? What about
that guy? It's everybody. Every quarterback that's going to be
in the playoffs. Each one of them could benefit greatly,
(06:47):
would benefit greatly from winning a super Bowl, every single one.
So you're gonna hear my top five, and just make
sure you understand that I am fully aware that anyone
winning a super Bowl it would be a big deal
for them. Now I'm trying to find the top five,
like the biggest of big deals, right, who doesn't mean
(07:07):
the most four because Aaron Rodgers, it would meet a ton,
it'd be a second Super Bowl ring, it'd be another
ring with another franchise, to be huge for Rogers. But
he doesn't crack my top five. He's already got a ring.
He's already an all time you know talent. He's on
the short list of all time great quarterbacks in NFL
(07:29):
history already with the one ring. Matthew Stafford winning another
ring that'd be a huge deal for him, So.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
You could go with these guys.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
He didn't crack my list though he's already got a ring,
and we already think very, very highly of Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
So my list is it's all quarterbacks who haven't.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Won a ring yet who would benefit the most from
winning one this season. So I look at this and
the first thing I will say is Lamar Jackson is
not on my list, and not because I don't think
he would benefit a great deal.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
He would benefit a ton.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Like what we say about Lamar is he's been great
in the regular season, outstanding what a talent. Two time
MVP arguably should have been a three time MVP, but
man in the playoffs, he wets himself time and time
and time again. He does not have a good record
in the playoffs, he does not have good individual numbers
in the playoffs, and he leaves a lot to be
(08:26):
desired when he's in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
If he won a Super.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Bowl, ring that would change a ton of the narratives.
It would mean a ton to Lamar to win a
Super Bowl. But the reason I don't have him on
my top five the Ravens. They might not even make
the playoffs, and if they do, they're going nowhere right
(08:49):
Like we know this, okay, So I just can't get
beyond the logical part of this, where it's like the Ravens, dude.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
That they're not going in anywhere.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
They've had a lackluster defense, They've had significant injuries. Lamar
isn't close to himself right now. He's dealt with the
injuries he's had the hammy and the knee and the
calf and the ankle, and he went three games in
a row without accounting for any touchdowns. Like, he's not
close to the same guy right now. They have no
(09:22):
chance to win a Super Bowl. So I just can't
wrap my mind around what a super Bowl would mean
for Lamar when they just have no chance to win
a super Bowl this season. So it's more so that
than anything. So the five quarterbacks that I have on
my list that could benefit the most from winning a
super Bowl, number five I would go with Justin Herbert.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Justin Herbert has been a really good NFL quarterback.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
He has no playoff wins, and there are a lot
of people that say that and throw it in his
face that were the playoff wins? Where are they? I
would look at the first playoff game against Trevor Lalawrence
and Jacksonville.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Justin Herbert played really well.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
They had a huge lead, and the lead went bye bye,
and they lost in very embarrassing fashion to Jacksonville. That's
more on the Chargers defense than anything. I don't know
why Herbert took such a tongue lashing for the like,
not from his coach or any It was like from fans,
from listeners, from people out there just like, oh, Justin Herbert,
(10:25):
It's like, play some freaking defense man. That's not a
Justin Herbert thing. That's a lack of defense. That's a
lack of closing the deal, but he took He took
a big hit, fair or not. He took a lot
of criticism for not getting that win. And then last
year fully should be criticized through four interceptions against Houston.
(10:46):
So I don't give him the benefit of the doubt
obviously for that performance. But if he were able to
win a super Bowl this season, think about that. He's
got a broken hand, had surgery on it, not missing
any time, not only gets his first playoff win, but
he stacks win on top of win on top of win.
He has a magic carpet, right he wins it all
(11:08):
that would mean a ton for him. It would silence
a lot of the critics that are saying, where's the
playoff success?
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Where where is it?
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Another guy a little higher on my list would be
Trevor Lawrence. Trevor Lawrence, nobody says anything positive about the
guy in the regular season. You know, at least people
say things positively about Herbert in the regular season, they'll
say that about Trevor Lawrence. Trevor Lawrence is just like
this freaking guy. We thought he was going to be
the truth in the NFL. He had some really good
(11:37):
college success. Look to have all the tools, and he
just hasn't put it together. And if he's able to
win a ring, that would mean a ton for him,
especially in Jacksonville. Though I would have him number four
on my list, number three, I'd go Donald. Donald would
obviously greatly benefit from winning a ring. He's zero to
(11:58):
one in the playoffs and he's mostly looked at as
just it's like a collective eye roll, you know when
you think about Donald, and hey, who's gonna merge from
the NFC, and it's like Donald Man, Like the one
playoff game he's had, he lost to the Rams and
(12:18):
he got sacked nine times. I didn't have a bet
on the game. I didn't have a dog in the
fight at nothing. And I'm watching the game and I'm
just yelling, like throw the ball, man, Like what are
you doing?
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Throw it? Throw it away, don't get sacked for a
loss of ten yards.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Just throw it, throw it at the feet of a
covered guy and just save the yardage, man, Like.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
What are you doing?
Speaker 2 (12:47):
So everything we've said about Donald, everything we've thought about Donald,
would be completely flipped if he's able to win it all.
And listen, Seattle's got a shot. They've got a real defense,
They've got a real number one wide receiver in Jackson
Smith and Jigba. If Sam Donald is all of a
sudden playing sound football, not turning it over, yeah, like productive,
(13:10):
they absolutely have a shot to win it all. And
if he's able to do that, we're clowning, you know,
the Jets version of Sam Donald.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
I'm seeing ghosts. I'm seeing ghosts. That's what he's known for.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
He's known for seeing ghosts and choking in big moments.
That's his brand. His brand recognition is choking and coming
up small on the big stage. And if he completely
flips that, that would be massive for him. Number two
on my list what a super Bowl would mean a
(13:41):
great deal for brock Purty. I put brock Purty number
two because listen, brock Purty is a good quarterback and
he's known as mister irrelevant last pick of the draft.
And like people like me, I've been critical of Rock
Party throughout the years because I just I don't understand
(14:05):
the level of people just rushing to his defense. Like
people act like you're saying something far worse about brock
Purty than you actually are. Right, I've never said brock
Purty sucks. He's no good. This guy's a hack. I
don't even know why he's in the NFL. He shouldn't
get paid a penny. I've never said any of those things,
none of them. I'm just like, he's good. He's just
(14:27):
not great.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
He's good. He's just not worth the contract that they
gave him.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
He's good, he's just not a difference maker, meaning when
they have to skimp on the roster, he can just
take them to the promised Land. He's not on that level.
That's what I've said about brock Purty the whole time.
But there are a lot of people like me. It's
like two sides is like Braveheart over here. It's the
people like me and the people that are like just
(14:52):
coming at my jugular for saying anything halfway critical about
brock Purty.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Like this guy, he's amazing. This guy, what do you
mean he's a It's like, oh my gosh. But for
the people like me that have been critical of brock perty.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
If he won it all this season, he won a
super Bowl, he would have to play well. He's a
difference maker. He's making plays on the biggest of stages.
People like me would.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Have to go.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
We just have to shut up and take the l right,
that's what would have to happen. So for brock Purty
to go from last pick of the draft contract extension,
a lot of people saying he's not worth that contract extension.
He doesn't have the goods, he's not elite, he's not great,
he's just good. To win it all, man, he would
(15:37):
silence a ton of people. That would mean a great
deal for him to win it all. And number one
on my list the top five players that would benefit
the most from winning a Super Bowl this season, Josh Allen.
That's right, I have the Bills quarterback Josh Allen number one,
and listen, he has been fantastic, Like he was rough
(15:59):
his first two years, inaccurate. I'm blown away how great
of a quarterback he's turned into. And I'm also blown
away how he's turned into this great quarterback and then
messed up a throw against the Eagles, Who's got a
wide open guy for a two point conversion and a
win That was stunning. He's turned into one of the
more accurate quarterbacks in the NFL. He's fantastic. But what
(16:23):
it would mean for Josh Allen to win a Super
Bowl one, he would obviously he would come into he
would you go into a different tax bracket. He would
all of a sudden be among elite quarterbacks, not just now,
but in the history of the NFL. Now he's starting
to he's starting to enter territory of Okay, he's stacks
(16:45):
five ten more years of great success and maybe builds
upon the one super Bowl ring. Now we're talking about
all time greatness for Josh Allen. We're also talking about
him winning a Super Bowl. The Buffalo Bills who have
just been known for coming up short, not having the
(17:06):
clutch gene, disappointment after disappointment after disappointment, you talk about
being knighted for eternity in the Buffalo community.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
It would be winning a super Bowl and Josh Allen
doing that.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Oh my gosh, it would mean massive amounts for the
guy because he's been great in the regular season at times,
he's been great in the postseason, but he's come up
short every time, at least his teams have.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
And if he's able to get.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Them over the hump, and man, we go back to
the four straight Super Bowl losses, all the pain, all
the heartache, all of that stuff, he's able to come through,
Oh man, it'd be massive for him, not just now
in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
I think about if he.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Wins it All this season and his game's next season
being promoted. You know, it's a Super Bowl champion Josh
Allen against Super Bowl champion Patrick Mahone.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Check it out week sick man like be huge.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
It'd be huge for the NFL. That's the other thing.
Ask yourself who would benefit the NFL the most if
they were to win a championship.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
I think it's Josh Allen.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Absolutely, You're able to promote all of these like marquee
matchups going forward. He's already an MVP. He's already one
of the best quarterbacks in the league. Some people think,
based on Mahomes taking a step back, that Josh Allen
is past Mahomes. There are a lot of people who
think that if he's able to add a Super Bowl
(18:36):
to that, man, now you're cooking with grease. So I
think the NFL would benefit the most if Josh Allen
won it All, and so I'd have.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Him number one on my list.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Again, everybody can benefit everybody would It would change a
lot of things for a lot of quarterbacks, you know,
Bo Knicks, coopskuy It'd be a big deal, be a
big deal for everybody. It'd be a big deal for
Caleb Williams to win a ring with all the criticism
he took as a rookie, and then the very next
year he wins it all. W Jalen Hurts wins another ring.
(19:12):
Oh my gosh, big Jordan Love wins one. Think about
all these Packer quarterbacks, how decorated they are. He's the
next one in line to not only be really good,
but to win a ring. That'd be a big deal
for him individually, so he'd be big for everyone. But
that's my top five. I'd go Herbert fifth, Trevor Lawrence fourth,
(19:33):
Darnald third, Brock Purty second, Josh Allen number one.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
That's my list. Do you have any thoughts on that?
Speaker 2 (19:40):

Brian no in for Big Ben Malor, as I save myself.
I'm so programmed to be like It's Fox Sports Radios
count Down to Kickoff presented by BETMGM. I'm just used
to saying that on the weekend, So my bad. I
had a little flashback right there. Hey, this show is

all right, So, man, I give my guy Coop a
lot of credit. I'll get to the the heel of
the NFL as far as coaches here momentarily. But man,
(22:09):
my guy Coop is going through it. He's trying to
get to this Broncos playoffs.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Heck is Justin Cooper.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
But Justin Cooper is the fine producer of this this.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Program here, I want a steamer. That's exactly who Justin
Cooper is.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
He's a guy who says Reese's pieces and not Rece's pieces,
like I used to say, That's who Justin Cooper is.
You know, he's setting people on the right track. That's
that's what Justin Cooper does.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
That's who he is.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
But he's looking forward to seeing his Broncos play in
the NFL playoffs and sou they're either playing wild card
weekend or the divisional round. Looks like they're going to
get a buy and they're not gonna be playing the
first weekend, so it would be there the second weekend.
And so Coop is trying all every which way to
(22:55):
find a ticket. It's a there are good seats, We're
gonna have great view of the game. And you know
he doesn't have to dip into his four oh one
K for the whole value of the ticket, you know
what I mean, Like these tickets are expensive and sol
He's tried all this stuff, and so what's the latest
version here, Coop, where we're buying single tickets and we're
(23:17):
trying to make a savvy move here to save a
couple of ducats if you will, right, what's going on here?
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Well?
Speaker 6 (23:23):
Yeah, so all of these standard face value tickets, there
are no pairs of tickets left, but there are some
seats that are in the same row, individual seats in
the same row, but you know, there's people in between them,
and I'm wondering, you know, what my chance of success
would be of asking everybody to just slide over one
(23:48):
seat so that that me and my wife could sit together.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
I think there's a good chance. Man, we're talking how
many there are? Eight people?
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Is that right between you? Nine people in between you
and your girl? I mean I would I don't.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
We're moving. I'm moving over one seat.
Speaker 7 (24:07):
That's two out of the seven people between you, guys
that are willing to move.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Yeah, what if you only improve that, you know by
like four people are cool, and you still have five
people in between you and your girl.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
You know, I'm so curious how this will go down
beers or something? Yeah, right, yeah, exactly. That's not a
bad move.
Speaker 7 (24:25):
Yeah, I thought I thought about that, you know.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
So, like roughly, how much would this move save you
in overall money? Getting like two individual tickets compared to
two next to each other.
Speaker 7 (24:38):
Like two grand, oh my gosh, to Fiskits.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
You can buy a lot of beers, you know, and
you're still coming out way ahead. Yeah, that's a good move.
That's a good idea by Lorena. You know, like you'll say, hey,
I'll get you something. I'll get your free beer, get
you whatever you want at the concession stand. You know,
you move over to your left, you get closer to midfield, right, like,
you get a better view.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Like why not?
Speaker 2 (25:05):
I would absolutely move It's just one seat, you know,
it'd be a jerk move to be like, nope, this
is my seat, and I guess you can't sit next
to your girl. And I see what you're doing here,
cheap skate. I see you're just trying to save something. No,
I would move over for you, but I don't know
what do you think are they gonna do it? If
this is the move, are they gonna move for you?
Speaker 6 (25:25):
I mean I like it, Like you said I would,
I would do it for for somebody, right, Uh, but
you know, you never you never know who's just uh.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Yeah, dude, you could who knows you could get that
one person, that one couple where we've come to Broncos
games for the last forty years, and these are my seats,
and I've you know, I remember when fill in the
blank happened and I was here for this game in
this seat.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Yeah, you could run into that. Maybe that could happen.
Speaker 7 (25:57):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Man, so you think you're gonna roll with this is
the move?
Speaker 6 (26:01):
It might be I gotta you know, run it by
the wife and see if she wants to take that risk.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Man, you know her pretty well. What do you think
she's gonna say?
Speaker 7 (26:11):
You guys take risks all the time. It's one of
your favorite things to do together is take risks. I
think you should do it.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
What's like, what's a risk that Coop has taken before? Lorena?
What's what's something on his resume of about poker?
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Yeah, well you went all in with Jack eight.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
That was the risk the other night.
Speaker 7 (26:32):
Like what I think she's just referring to the amount
of money that we risk.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Ah okay, all right, Yeah, I think.
Speaker 6 (26:37):
It's worth it in terms of experience and like even
if you do have to sit a few seats away,
like we said, you could still make that fun.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Yeah right, you could just be a jerk about it.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
If they're not gonna move, Oh, I would be a yeah, yeah,
could you pass this, uh, these peanuts down to my
wife that is like ten seats away from me.
Speaker 7 (26:58):
Halfway through the game, you guys sit by each other
because you're so annoying, I know.
Speaker 6 (27:02):
Yeah, And just every time, like every few minutes, say
like oh, excuse me, excuse me, excuse me, walk over there,
and just like say say something, just catter you.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Okay, I know you're alone. You're by yourself right.
Speaker 7 (27:14):
Now, okay, good, good? Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Oh dude, I would be I would be obnoxious if
you were just gonna be that fan who's like, no,
I'm not budging.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
It's like, okay, all right, game on.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
I guess you know, I'm gonna find some ways to
be obnoxious, and it probably won't.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
You won't get your way that way at all. You know,
what is it?
Speaker 2 (27:38):
You catch more bees with honey, you gotta sweeten the pot.
You got to buy him some beers, get them to
move over. You know my approach, I would just keep talking.
I think that would be the best way. Because if
I'm walking through this, if I'm sitting at a game, okay,
and these are my seats, this is where I'm posted
up for the game and someone just approaches me and
(27:58):
they're like, hey, bro, do you mind sit like moving
down one seat? I just want to sit next to
my girl. My first thought is why, why, why?
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Why?
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Why am I doing you a favor? Like, what's the point,
what's in it for me? I honestly I would think that,
And then if you give me a little bit of
time to just warm up to the idea, I'd understand.
I'm like, man, I'm sitting in between you and your girl,
and why Like, why would.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
I do that? There's really no benefit for me. I'm
just being a jerk here. If you just kept.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Talking to me, I think I would finally get it.
You know, I don't think I would understand it first.
Speaker 7 (28:34):
It's good karma.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Yeah, yeah, you're I think you should just talk until
they say yes.
Speaker 6 (28:40):
And it's not like a window seat on a flight,
you know what I'm saying, Like, this is all one
big row of stadium seating.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Yeah, I guess The question is do you approach them
each individually with the same sales pitch or there's this
kuy like a.
Speaker 6 (28:54):
You you would imagine that they're not all individuals, that
they're probably groups know at least two, if not more.
So you would just have to get each group to
agree to move down one seat. And so that may
only be three three asks, you know, it.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Could be maybe do you stand in the aisle, you know,
like where the steps are and just say hey, hey,
you guys and you just address all nine of them
at the same time. Like, there's so many different ways
you could approach that. Yeah, wow, I'm curious. You should
video it. You should record this. You know this is
this is something for you know X, this is something
(29:35):
for you got to send it to me. I got
to see how this goes down. Man.
Speaker 6 (29:38):
You know, somebody on Twitter said I should play the
do you Know who I Am?
Speaker 7 (29:43):
Card? I don't think that'll work.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
I mean, that's not bad to have in your back pocket,
you know, like did you see this movie?
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Do you know who I Am?
Speaker 4 (29:59):
It is?
Speaker 3 (30:00):
It is?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
But man's that's not a bad last resort in case
of emergency break glass type move.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
You know, at least you have a card to play.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
Yeah, I'll just bring like multiple copies of Liar Liar
and sign them.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
I think beer is your ticket, man, Yeah, get there drinkers, Like, hey, man,
I'll buy you a beer.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
It's it's free. It's a free beer for you to move.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
One seat, Like why wouldn't you, you know, like, I'm
just trying to sit next to my girl, that's all
I'm for the Broncos. I'm wearing my overrated bow Nicks jersey,
you know, like, come on, I'm in this sh.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Maybe, yeah, I get it. You wouldn't say overrated. You
would say total fools gold if.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
You're being very accurate. But now I'm just being a
jerk right now, I'm sorry. I take everything back. Who
it's from, your notre dame cheap shot from earlier.
Speaker 6 (30:53):
Only quarterback in history, twenty plus wins, seventy five hundred yards,
fifty touchdowns, only one only in the first two years.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Only one.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Okay, can we go through these wins a little bit?
Can we do that for a second, Like the obnoxious
win by from against the Giants. The Giants are missing kicks,
the darts, throwing an obnoxious interception like that that was
a miracle comeback, you know, like.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
That's I don't know, man, It's like the wins.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Like the goal is to win, I get it, But
some of these wins, man, it's just like, dude, you're
beating the Jets thirteen to eleven.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
You're beating the Texans after you knocked out C. J.
Stroud with a late hit. You know, it's like you're
beating the Raiders ten to seven at home.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
You know what I mean. Like, if you look closer
at the wins.
Speaker 6 (31:51):
You can do that with every team, and and but
you can you can point to bad losses for all
the comp editors in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
I can't point to that many luck wins or just
playing down to your competition type points.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Who's the who's the team, who's that?
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Who's the team that has Hey we beat we beat
the Jets by two points in London. Hey we beat
the Texans minus their quarterback by three points.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
We beat the Raiders by three talk.
Speaker 7 (32:24):
About but what about the losses? Brian. You're criticizing the wins,
but the fact that are that they're wins.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
I'm talking because you brought up the wins. You brought
up the stats that circles the wins. That's why I'm
focused on the wins. Sure, but the fact is nobody
else has done it. So you can go throughout the
course of NFL history, and I'm sure you can find
plenty of you know, lucky wins, but yet still nobody
(32:52):
has those stats.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
Okay, I mean, I guess what's that? What he's excited
over here?
Speaker 1 (33:02):
He is.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Probably yelling, isn't he?
Speaker 7 (33:07):
Yes, he's aggressive.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Call h him down with some Reese's pieces, would you?
Speaker 7 (33:12):
She finished them hours ago?
Speaker 3 (33:14):
It's over with, it's done.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
You know what, I'm gonna go from your your your your,
your savior quarterback if you will there, Coop, And I'm
going to talk about another one, my guy, Trucker Nav.
He's in so cal he wants to talk about one
brock Party and I'm curious what this is about?
Speaker 3 (33:33):
What's going on? Trucker Nav?
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Hey, Brian, always a pleasure talking to you.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Thank you, Bud. Good to hear from you.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Thank you. So anyway, uh, let me just mention this
real quick that in the five biggest games of Doc
Prescott's career, he's lost Jimmy G. Sam Howell, mister irrelevant
McGregor this year against the Vikings. Oh yeah, and Jordan
(34:05):
Love in a playoff bashing couple of years ago. Right,
so back, according to you, brock Party is not worth
all that money, but he's got his team at least
in the Super Bowl. If you go back the last
ten years, I'm pretty sure Dak Prescott's always had a
pretty good offensive line. He's always had weapons, including a
(34:27):
few Hall of famers. He's always had a pretty good defense,
and actually the defense even got better this year after
they made their trades or the linebacker and the Quinn Williams.
But you know, but everybody always coddles him, makes excuses
about him. So what do you say, I mean, if
(34:48):
Dak Prescott was going to be in the playoffs, would
you have him on that top five list? And how
do you compare him to a brock party because you
said he's not worth the money, But this guy's making
sixty million. What's he ever want?
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Well, listen, I hear you, Trucker nev And this is
the way I would say it, right, Like if this
is a way to make an argument for Brock Purty
and saying like he's better than Dak Prescott or whatever.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
He's a I don't know he's been he's been more consent.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
But that's what I'm saying, is no one's saying that
Dak Prescott is top five or this unbelievable court.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
Nobody says that.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
So the thing to me is it's not a good
way to make your argument for brock Purty saying he's
better than Dak Prescott, right, Like that would be like
a girl saying, hey, I'm a supermodel and I'm better
looking than a girl that's like a five. Like that's
that's not a good way to go about making your
argument that you're a supermodel, you know what I mean. Like,
(35:48):
you don't say brock Purty is legit and one of
the top guys because he's better than Dak. You would
say he's legit and one of the top guys because
you can make some argument that he's better than the
top guys.
Speaker 3 (36:01):
Like you can't make that argument.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
So that to me shows you where doc where brock
Purty is. If you're comparing him to Dak, it's like
bro like that doesn't show that he's elite at all.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
No, I'm not saying I'm comparing it, but I'm just
saying that at least he's got his team to a
super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
I mean, yeah, he's also he's had a defense, Like
it's a team sport, you know, like Dak has put
up some great numbers.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
Yeah, but uh, you know because this year Brock party
he's basically you know, I know he hasn't played all
the games, but when he has played, he has carried
that team on his on his show, on his back
the defense and not the forty nine defense that we've
always known. You know.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
Yeah, no, I hear you, and listen. I appreciate you
checking in. It's crazy because with brock Purty, it was wild.
Just a couple of weeks ago. He was playing against
the Titans, remember when when the Niners hosted the Titans,
and it stood out to me because cam a rookie
quarterback at the time, he had nine touchdown passes seven interceptions,
(37:06):
and that's exactly what brock perty had at that time,
nine touchdown seven interceptions. It was also what Marcus Mariota
had at that time, exactly the same nine touchdown passes,
seven interceptions. That's just one thing to look at. There
are many things you could look at and dissect, but
the point is at that time brock Purty was on
(37:26):
the same block as rookie cam Ward and backup quarterback
Marcus Mariota. And since then, brock Purty has been fantastic.
He's fantastic against the Colts don't have a good defense,
and against the Bears don't have a good defense. Okay,
And if you want to get giddy about that, great,
knock yourself out. He's played great the last two weeks
(37:47):
in particular. But I don't know, man, I just when
your shoulder to shoulder with those guys, a rookie and Mariota,
I don't know that two outstanding performances granted against defenses,
if that's enough to swing it, I don't know. All right,
we got to hear from a Malard militia regular right
around the corner.
Speaker 3 (38:06):
We close it down in style. Coming up.
Speaker 2 (38:09):

to Eloy from Compton and also Robbie the Mariners fan
from earlier in the show. I was saying, I don't
know if we've seen the deuces thrown up the peace
sign thrown up like during a return. Jared Versu the Rams.
(38:45):
He did that while he was running by the Falcons
bench after a block to field goal rented in for
a touchdown, and they both said, hey, come on, Brian,
he's on your team now, Like, what's going on here
at Tyreek Hill with the deuces the he's done that,
But I don't think he's done that while going past
an opposing team's bench. I don't think that's happened. And
(39:05):
the NFL heel. In terms of coaching, that would be
Nick Sirianni. Nick Sirianni, the Eagles said coach. He was
talking trash after they beat the Bills, where he's like, yeah,
those Bills fans had a lot to say, not so
loud anymore. You know, he's just saying that so much,
not so much anymore.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
Man, He's just himself. He's a troll, he's a heel. Yeah,
and it works for him. And Saquan said it, he's
