(00:59):
Comment away again. Mike and I love putting this content
out for you every single night. Quick update from the NBA.
Lebron misses a three with about forty seconds left to go.
The Jazz take it down the other way for a bucket.
They have the ball now with a four point lead
and twenty five seconds left to go. Looks like the
Jazz are gonna beat the Lakers here or actually, sorry,

(01:21):
we're going to the end of the third quarter. It
looks like the Jazz are gonna get to the end
of the third quarter with a four point lead over LA. Meanwhile,
the drama in Seattle. It is a thirty thirty game
right now with five and a half to go in
the fourth quarter. This game doesn't feel like it should
be close at all. It feels wow. Both teams are

(01:44):
playing great. No, the Rams have been just beating the
Seahawks up and down the field, but the Seahawks have
put a couple of big plays together, and it's thirty
to thirty. It's thirty to thirty because of one of
the most bizarre reviews you will ever see, and it
kind of reminded me a little bit of the The Music
City Miracle. So the Seahawks get a touchdown to pull

(02:06):
them within thirty twenty eight. Right Barner is wide open
for some reason on the far side of the field. Darnald,
rolling to his weak side, turns throws. He's wide open. Touchdown,
So thirty to twenty eight and the Seahawks are going
for two.

Speaker 5 (02:20):
Now.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
They try a quick hit play where Darnald takes the
snap and turns and throws really quickly to Zach Sharbonay,
who is lined up wide. One of the Rams defensive
linemen gets his arm in the way deflex the ball.
It hits the ground, bounces in the end zone incomplete pass.
Zach Charbonay just kind of finishing the play, walks into
the end zone and picks up the football. But play

(02:44):
is over. No two point conversion, and the Rams now
still have a two point lead with half the fourth
quarter left to go. Except upon further review. And they
looked at this from a thousand different angles, and there's
one angle that made it look like it really was
a backwards pass and the ball was live. There was

(03:06):
one angle made to look like nope, this is right
down the line, and this is gonna wind up staying
and not being overturned. Instead, it gets overturned. It is
viewed to be a backwards pass. So it's a fumble,
and because Zach Charbonat is the only guy somewhat paying attention,
he recovers it in the end zone. It's a two

(03:27):
point conversion. It's now a tie game. Here's how it
sounded on Amazon.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
So Bran Allen is the man of the moment, right
now it tells us.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
After reviewing the play, the quarterbay through a backward pass which.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
Does recovered in the end.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Zone by the offense and he shot trust no conversion.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
I don't know that you'll ever see something like that again.
And it really reminded me of the Music City Miracle
that you saw the play from so many different angles.
And well, we can't really go back and say it
wasn't because it looked like white Check's pass was was,
you know, right.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
Down the line.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
This at least from the one angle, looked like Darnold
did throw it behind him. Looked like he threw it
with his arm at about the nine yard line, and
the ball was deflected somewhere around the nine and a
half yard line, close to the ten and this is
where it bounced out. And look, the Rams tried to curl,
tried to pick it off, but he did. It hit
the ground. They're all thinking, okay, incomplete pass, and here's

(04:27):
Zach Charbonay recovering the ball in the end zone and
it's a two point conversion. Oh, by the way, nothing
at stake except the number one seed overall in the
NFC with this game, so not a lot out there,
don't doctor, worry about a lot other than Hey, if
the Rams win, boy, they're gonna be the number one
seed because they have the big tie breaker with the Seals.
If the Seas win, hey, they control their own fate
last two games to having games at Lumen Field all

(04:49):
the way through. So nothing at stake on that review
at all.

Speaker 6 (04:51):
You know, it's a perfect time of year for a
call like this because people have a lot of tinfoil
all over the places and they do their decorations for
you know, little projects and holiday, holiday, holiday, whatever you celebrate.
However you celebrate, I have a blest one, and take
care of your people. But it's the tin foil hat
conspiracies is already being called the pukin Nakua conversion.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Oh, I can't wait here, Nikola.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
After the game, Pooka, do you think they really just
screwed you on a couple of those plays there because
you couldn't keep your mouth out on that live stream. Oh,
by the way, I have other questions about the live
stream as well, not even going with the officials, but
let's deal with this one first.

Speaker 6 (05:26):
Yeah, So the backwards pass and you see Charbonay, he
just literally just goes to pick up the football, right,
It's like the end of the longest yard, no, no,
no crew, and he picks it up and I got
a football. And that's what sharbon Ay does here because
there's a clear recovery. Right, we always get to that
of all right, the play might have been called wrong,
but was there a clear recovery?

Speaker 2 (05:48):
Yep?

Speaker 6 (05:48):
There he is picking up and spinning the football. Thirty
thirty game. And I'll tell you Bran Allen, he was
on TV. You saw him make that call. Everybody cheered.
He hey, he fell directly. Yeah, mentioned your name, Joe,
It's Brad Allen. No, let's I mean it's Brad Allen,
like he'll say the name here. It was send your

(06:11):
cards in the letter to the league office regarding Brad Allen.
And it was pretty clear, I mean, just where Charbonay
was lined up that the intent was to set up
the screen and a quick bulldozer with the offensive line
ahead of him. And so it's even if it's just
slight waffer thin, it was enough to get over stet

(06:32):
that they put up on the broadcast. You'll appreciate this.
One Seahawks all time zero and one seventy two, when
trailing by fifteen or more in the fourth quarter. There's
one of those things like we do with Steve. It's
a random stat yeah, depending on where you want to
hit the start button, but there it is, you know.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
And that's the thing is that NFL officials have to
this play now. We're seeing this now. It's happened a
couple of times this year. I was always a big
opponent of you know, when a quarterback throws the ball
and it gets knocked out during a sack and you
blow the play dead. You can't blow the play dead.

(07:09):
You have to let it go because you can't you
don't know if his arm was going forward or if
the ball was knocked out, but they blow the play
dead and you can't go back and look at it, right.
So I for the longest time, it took a long
time to you know what, you just got to let
that go. Let the play go. You can go back
and look at it and you don't need to blow
the play dead. And it took a while for that
to become sort of the norm. With this bright here,

(07:31):
if I think all teams have to understand, and this
is where every team has to when a pass is
thrown behind the line of scrimmage, or at the line
of scrimmage, you throw an out to a wide receiver
or an out to a running back and it's an
incomplete pass. You have to play every pass like it
is a fumble. You can't stop and think, okay, incomplete
because you don't know how it's going to look.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
You don't know where the ball is going to be thrown.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
You don't know if you want to if you want
to challenge it, then it looks like, oh, it was
a backwards pass. Every team needs to play these needs
to play these downs like the ball is live and
officials can't blow the whistle until after the play is over,
which means the ball is skiders out of bounds or
someone falls on it and that's.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
The end of the play.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
You have to let it go all the way because
you see a play like this where man, I mean
all of a sudden, because it's weird that nobody it
wasn't really heads up play against. You could say charpa
Day was kind of heads up because he kind of
does it very hey, just in case I'm going to
pick up the football. He doesn't run and dive on
it like live ball. No, So you don't want to
have that be the case. So that that's where I

(08:34):
think teams have to Teams have to understand that all right,
when this happens in the future, you treat that play
like it's like all the way till the end, right,
kind of like in baseball when they first started doing
the challenges, and if there was a close play at
first base, uh, and someone was called out and but
you it might be called if the first baseman win

(08:54):
and the runner started going back to the dugout and
he tagged him out, you know, uh, because he cut
in your cross the diamond. That's an out, so you
can you can appeal if you want to, but he didn't.
So you had to tell all your players, hey, when
this happens, don't come back in, stay on the field,
go back to first base. We might challenge that. Then
if we don't challenge, you come off. So it's just
seeing it all the way through to the end. But

(09:16):
that's really where where the teams need to be because
every single play that's such a big player. That's a
play we're talking about potentially that could flip home field
in the NFC playoffs. And it was okay, Yeah, the
Rams thought the play was over that. Seahawks thought the
play was over, the officials thought the play was over,
and it's just oh, by the way, I'm picking it up. Hey,
we go back and look at it. Oh, it wasn't

(09:36):
backwards pass, and now the game is tied. Yeah, I
mean to take it into your coaching experience. I mean,
I'm sure in the soccer realm you taught your kids.
The balls goes out of bounds and it's a fifty
to fifty, you go and grab the ball, make the
ar actually make a call as opposed to looking at
each other, and then eventually whoever grabs the ball usually
gets to throw in directly thereafter. So go and make

(09:59):
your your way to have that opportunity. So coming down
to it, here a huge play as we battle for
the NFC West. Right now, the Rams have a first
down deep in Seahawks territory and it may be more
a thirty to thirty game. Again, Okata may get a
big flag for leading with his helmet for unnecessary roughness.

(10:22):
It's a big play for the Rams downfield. They're looking
at it right now, Matthew Stafford looking in a night
where you don't really have your star wide receiver DeVante Adams,
you gotta go other places. Ferguson with a big catch there.
It's been a big night for Nakua. But Ferguson the
guy coming down with it, he is wide open down
the field. They are deep in Seattle territory right now,

(10:42):
two and a half to go, and again the game
is tied at thirty apiece. But depending how this game ends,
that play is gonna wind up being a really big deal.

Speaker 6 (10:49):
Yeah, Drake Thomas trying to cover Ferguson and had no chance.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
Love the hate the Drake. I love the Drake. Hate
the drake.

Speaker 6 (10:57):
Drake failed in his opportunity here to make a big
play and then got no help in the secondary.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
Really just an odd review, I mean just there was
such an odd review of seeing it so many times,
and and.

Speaker 6 (11:08):
Think depending on your angle, right as you said, just
flip the camera to the other side of the field,
it's like, well kind of looks like it's straight down
the line.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
Yeah, yeah, I mean really the overhead angle was the
one that made it look like, Okay, that's a backwards pass. Okay,
I can see it right there. But then you look
at the other ones like, oh, that looks like that
was straight, but that was the best angle and clearly
that was the best to see where that where that
bowl was, So I get why they reversed it. It's
just this is not the spirit of what they want

(11:36):
that play to be in the NFL. So there's got
to be a little bit more attention to detailed look
and it's a big playoff.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
Teams do it all the time.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
They like to do trick plays throwing it back, so
it's never going to be a case where, okay, if
a quarterback throws the football, it's always going to be
considered a forward pass.

Speaker 7 (11:50):
Right.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
You know, you can't get to there, but you need
to be able to play it all the way through
the plate in the whistle, right play, you were a whistle,
but we did have the way, you know, we had
to go all the way and everybody's still thought it
was over. So that's not really what the NFL wants.
So I got a feeling this is going to be
on teams and the league to say, listen, this is
where it is. Don't blow the whistle until the play
absolutely ends, and teams are gonna tell their guys, hey,

(12:13):
go after that football like it's live. Even if you
know it's not.

Speaker 6 (12:15):
Yeah, that was a fairly short review too, right, we
didn't get all the lasers and protractors out. It's like, ah,
I run down the line, let's see the arm angle
and everything else. But it's the easiest two points Charbonnay
will ever score for your fantasy team.

Speaker 5 (12:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
Well, I think what happened was was bred Allen got
in the headset and said, how long do you have
to pretend to do stuff here before I could say
blank Pooka and give the two point conversion to the Seahawks.
How long do you have to have? It's good? Long enough,
long enough? Okay, yeah, backwards past blank you Pooka. Hey,
two points Seattle.

Speaker 6 (12:48):
As you say that, Pooka was just getting into it
with some Seattle defenders and they had to be separated.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
So we're coming down to the two minute warning. The
Rams are in field goal range with the football timeouts.
They want to save some time left because the Rams
are facing a third down if they get the ball
back if they stop the Rams here on third and eight.
So we have high drama coming up next. Are we
talking about a huge Rams victory where they're gonna run

(13:13):
their way to home field advantage or the Seahawks gramd.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
It away from them.

Speaker 1 (13:18):

Speaker 5 (14:32):
Boy.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
We really got something going on here now on Thursday
Night football.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
Yeah, singing at Christmas song.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
Rams and the Seahawks. There's a minute left to go.
The Rams have the football at midfield. They have just
made two incredible catches in a row, one by Poka
Nakua to keep what could be a game winning drive alive.
On a big second down and long, Matthew Stafford just

(15:00):
chucks it up to Pukah who's got one on one coverage.
And maybe Puka should do more live streams because the
bad publicity that he's gotten in the last couple of days,
insulting the refs having to apologize for a dance. He
is at nine for one sixty eight and a touchdown tonight,
and he just made a great leaping grab that gave

(15:22):
them a first down for twenty five yards. Again, third
straight game for Nakua that he has over one hundred
and fifty yards receiving. This is the kind of year
he is having right now. I mean this is one
sixty seven, one eighty one against Detroit last week. Now
one sixty eight again. Uh, this is an incredible run

(15:42):
by him. But you just saw a great catch as well.
Mumphrey makes a big catch at midfield. The ball gets
tipped at the line of scrimmage and it's one of
those living right plays where a manure the Rams you
are living right, bounces into his hands. So they have
the ball at midfield fifty seconds left to go. Now
they want to get as close as possible, because you

(16:03):
do always want to get as close as possible. But
the Rams just missed a go ahead field goal a
few moments ago that could have given him a thirty
three to thirty lead. So if you're the Rams, you're
not feeling so great about kicking this field goal here
that could win the game. But another ten or fifteen
yards you certainly are trying a game winner. The Seahawks
out of timeouts now, so if the Rams are on

(16:25):
the ten to fifteen yards, they'll be able to at
the very least take it all the way down to
the end an attempt a game winning field goal.

Speaker 6 (16:30):
He got some big wins there in Seattle mevs. Hair's
of Mevas with the field goal attempt from forty eight
that was sandwiched in between two three and outs. Great
work by the Rams defense to give him a shot.
But both of those catches just absolutely absurd. The first
was great placement of the ball by Stafford and Nikua
just doing what he's done to defense his time and

(16:52):
again twisting, turning, coming up with the ball the other
as a tip drill. The defender couldn't have played that
any better, just strong to control it and come down
with that catch.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
It really is. This is two heavyweights slugging it out right.
You hear all the thing, but the fact that the
Seahawks are playing terribly and Sam Donald has been absolutely
awful tonight. He has been terrible. He has not seen
the field well, he has held out of the football
too long. He is getting passes batted down at the
line of scrimmage regularly. And it's still thirty to thirty

(17:23):
and somehow the Seahawks have found a way to keep
this game tied with a minute left to go in regulation.

Speaker 6 (17:27):
But when he got baited by the defensive lineman on
the ender his second interception, that's the play that's gonna
stand out for me because as he's running off the field.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
A man, I'm tired. I'm tired.

Speaker 6 (17:38):
It's like I'm done, and it's not Sam Donald the defender.
It was just kind of funny just watching him take
after engaging in the block, take three steps back and
tutta there it is. It would have been JSN in
one on one coverage, The still would have been a
really tight window even if he wasn't standing there ready
to put his big mits on it. But yeah, they

(18:01):
in spite of Darnold's futility and many many circumstances, we
got ourselves to tie game inside a minute.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
Big third and ten for the Rams right now, drop
past the sideline could have been a gain of seven.
Need a little bit here, right You're not trying to
field goal from here, and you're also not going for
it on fourth down. So this is a big third
and ten for the Rams. I have to think if
they get closed, boy, if they get that, that's some

(18:29):
kind of call. That's a Sean McVay call right there.
But if you are the Rams, hey, they've been going
for it on fourth down. They've done it a couple
of times tonight. I think if they get close here
on third and ten, they'll go for it instead. Stafford
looking for Nakua across the middle of the field, the
pass falls incomplete. It is fourth and ten from midfield
for the Rams. So the Seahawks will get the football

(18:53):
back one more time unless they kick to Shaheeda again,
which and maybe maybe then the Rams, get the ball
back one more time, Shiet to be back. I'm sure
this is gonna be one of those kicks that goes
through the end zone because again the Rams are punting
from midfield. But Sam Darnald and company has forty nine seconds.
They just have to get in field goal range. No timeouts.
But it's not a lot. You're talking about forty five yards.

(19:17):
You have plenty of time to get up spike it.
You have one of the best bounty receivers in the game.
Look at the two best wide receivers in the game
are playing right now and putting a coup in Jackson
Smith the Jigba. So forty two seconds left, the Seahawks
can defy reality by somehow winning this game. I really
it makes it. This is it. If no one saw
this game. If no one saw this game, they would say, wow,

(19:39):
this but back and forth. What a great slug fest.
Now the Rams have been absolutely pummeling the Seahawks the
entire game, and somehow it's tied. Donald stinks and he
can still be the hero.

Speaker 6 (19:50):
We've been treated to eight hundred and fifty six yards
of total offense a punt return for a touchdown, the
most curious two point conversion in recent memory, also known
as the Nakua conversion, and all just sorts of chaos
left and right, and now we have an opportunity. Jason
Myers hit a fifty six yard or last week. Yeah,

(20:11):
you don't need money.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
Now you have a wind. Good be an issue.

Speaker 6 (20:14):
We watched that with the mevs kick that just started
sailing sailing, so I was like, oh, you interchitting.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
No he didn't. It did missed. So we'll see adventures
and kicking perhaps coming out.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
A quick screen pass to Charbonnay gains about twelve yards
the spike. Twenty nine seconds left to go, and the
Seahawks have the football their own thirty one yard line,
so still need some work to do, but still thirty seconds,
eleven yards, eleven yards every ten second. They'll get to
a point where you can kick because remember, yeah, fifty
six sixty yards, that's his range. Mark's one of the

(20:46):
best kickers in the NFL. He had twelve field goals
last week, so he just you know, needs one more,
one more long one. How seconds Things just got much
more difficult for the Seahawks because Sam Darnold fails to
get rid of the football Ford in the backfield and
it looked like a scary play.

Speaker 6 (21:03):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
Sam Darnold got dragged down, his feet slipped from under him.
He is sacked, and it looks like this game is
going to overtime because the Seahawks aren't going to run
another play. Donald was sacked, So now it's a third
and eighteen. We are going to overtime. Donald looks like
he's all right walking off the field, so the Seahawks
didn't want to risk anything. So now we get extra

(21:26):
football because of that big sack by Ford where the
Seahawks seemed like they were maybe two plays away from
kicking a game winning field say it, I'm a drug man.
Time out to find out what's trending in the wide
world of sports. From Monsey Belanos Monci who has a
lot of money on this game.

Speaker 4 (21:45):
I do fantasy football teams.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
Yeah, who do you have tonight?

Speaker 4 (21:50):
I'm I have Matthew Stafford, okay, and that's good. And
Jason Myers too.

Speaker 9 (21:54):
Wise, he stupid because because he got two points to
make that zero.

Speaker 4 (22:01):
It's not but two points.

Speaker 9 (22:04):
And I'm playing in one in one league in playoffs, right,
playoffs that matter? Not the playoffs and the other one
that I'm losing. But to that matter, I have I
have Matthew Stafford.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
More how to playoffs? Well, because you know you can
be in the playoffs.

Speaker 9 (22:16):
No, because you could be in the playoffs, but in
the loser's bracket.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
So but you're not in the playoffs. That's not the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
Literally, sids playoffs, that's the loser's bracket.

Speaker 4 (22:25):
Thank you. So that that's not what I'm talking about.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
I realize as a Clipper fan you're not as familiar
with the actual playoffs and how they work. So I
just wanted to tell you that right now. That's how
its cold blooded.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
I thought it was the holiday holiday holidays.

Speaker 9 (22:41):
The slippers, Like, do you go to crap on the
jets or something. I'm like, so confused.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
You go to Clippers losers bracket playoff games?

Speaker 4 (22:48):
Can you keep him?

Speaker 2 (22:49):
I will? I got you.

Speaker 4 (22:52):
Can you kick him?

Speaker 9 (22:53):
Really?

Speaker 2 (22:55):
Just that's that's just so.

Speaker 8 (22:56):
No.

Speaker 4 (22:56):
I hope you fall on your way to the car
and rip your pants.

Speaker 1 (22:59):
Wow, he's a brand new pants.

Speaker 4 (23:02):
I hope they so bad, and I hope you get
a nice.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
My wife would be very upset if I ripped these pets.
It sucks for you that's how you bought them.

Speaker 4 (23:10):
It sucks for you.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
It's just a style. They're ripped right on the seam
on the cross. Yeah, that's the style. Now she comes
running up doing the full John Cena. You can't see
me after you fall and rip your pants. The fantasy
app just wants you to continue to use it, so
they make up the Hey you're in the loser's.

Speaker 4 (23:28):
Brackety, thank you, thank you.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
Mike, sit this one out. You don't wear pants, so
that matter.

Speaker 4 (23:34):
So the playoffs that matter. I have Matthew Stafford.

Speaker 9 (23:37):
All right, and Jason Myers, and I'm playing against Pokinakua
and the other one.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
Oh goode, but that's in the loser's bracket.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
No no, no, no, no no no.

Speaker 4 (23:46):
I have two of that. I have good ones and
then one loser's bracket.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
Well, I think that one you're playing against Puka. You'll
be in the loser's bracket next week. Don't say that.
In the third place, can you see something nice to me?
You're a wonderful person, one of the greatest people I know.

Speaker 4 (23:58):
Well, I don't believe that.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
Why would I swat?

Speaker 5 (24:01):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (24:01):
I mean, look you who you are, and I got
to tell your reality about the Clippers.

Speaker 6 (24:06):
I know, I know, I really thought there was the
way he gestured. Did you not think there was a
one liners way?

Speaker 9 (24:12):
I was.

Speaker 4 (24:12):
I was waiting for it. They're aaded two overtime in Seattle.
You guys have broken it down.

Speaker 9 (24:17):
But Matthew Stafford has thrown for three hundred and eighty
seven yards and two touchdowns and Sam Darnold has thrown
for two hundred and twenty one yards, one touchdown and
two interceptions.

Speaker 4 (24:26):
But they're headed to overtime. What a night, because this
game got exciting. NBA games got exciting.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
The Nicks were excited, Nicks, We're exciting.

Speaker 9 (24:34):
The Warriors and the Suns right now are tied at
ninety six with thirty five seconds to go in Phoenix.
Jimmy Butler Jimmy the Man thirty one points, Dylan Brooks
twenty four points for the Suns. The Lakers right now
are up on the Jazz one thirty one to one
twenty with about four minutes to go. Halfway through the
third quarter, the Trailblazers lead the King seventy two to
seventy one, but the Nuggets beat the Magic car ready

(24:57):
one twenty six ten twenty six to one fifteen, while
the Pistons and the Mavericks went to overtime and Dallas won.
That one went sixteen to one fourteen. Cooper Flag with
the double double twenty three points and ten rebounds.

Speaker 4 (25:08):
The Pelicans were down well, quick.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
Mines, I want, I want to give you an updated
on the Eastern Conference standings. Who's now just a game
out of first?

Speaker 2 (25:15):
Okay? Never mind, go ahead, that's okay.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
Are you serious with the Pistons loss? You know, let
people know, Hey, gotcha? How close are the Knicks to
taking over? And how close are they in the Eastern?
Close are they?

Speaker 2 (25:27):
They're there? They're a game out, one.

Speaker 9 (25:28):
Game out because they won today on a jaln Brunson
go ahead three with four and a half second seal.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
Yeah, make sure you'd make people know we eliminated the
Pacers from play the playoffs.

Speaker 4 (25:38):
No, you did not, the little guy, Yeah, the little guy.

Speaker 9 (25:42):
The Pelicans were down twenty five points and they came
back to beat the Rockets one thirty three to one
twenty eight in overtime.

Speaker 4 (25:48):
In the NHL, there are two games still going on.

Speaker 9 (25:51):
Stars over the Sharks three to one halfway through the
second period. Late in the third period, the Flames are
up on the crack in three to two.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
Back to you, Thanks a bunch.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
I'm rooting for you all the way, thanks all the
way through in the playoffs that matter.

Speaker 4 (26:03):
I appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
Don't wait.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
My message he was, don't waste any karma or anything
in the universe on a fifth place game.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
I don't worry about I'm not.

Speaker 4 (26:14):
I'm not worried about the ones that matter.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
Okay, good good.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
Stupid pe taking playoff advice from Jason is a no. No, Okay,
fantasy playoffs. I know a lot NFL playoffs. No, I
don't nothing about. I'm not thinking about that nothing. Thanks
a bunch, Monseny. So what could have been a great
start to overtime for the Rams comes back because of
a flag. Hey Pooka, Hey Pooka, how do you feel

(26:37):
about those reps? Rivers returns the kickoff back to midfield. However,
a hold on the return takes it back to the
twenty yard line. Now, the Rams did just get a
first down, but instead of starting at the fifty yard line,
they were starting at their own twenty. I really can't
wait to hear Pooka akup. I never thought like this
time last week, what are you really gonna want here?

(26:58):
After Monday night football Gonnakus postgame press conference.

Speaker 6 (27:02):
And McVeigh I'm addressing how it all came to be
right because they wanted to go into the RAMS facility
and he explicitly said, no, we don't need this here,
we don't want this here. I don't know if he
knew the principles involved, right, the individuals because they've got
some history with them, which then became part of that
stream once he went into the van in the parking lot. So, yeah,

(27:24):
a lot to it and postgame comments. We don't normally
look for Rams commentary.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
No, you don't get that A little fired up raspy
Sean McVeigh is good. Yeah, yeah, but today there's some
substance to both sides of this. Yeah, oh yeah, no, absolutely,
like I really, I mean, you know that's seen a
top gun when in the very beginning, when Maverick and
Goose do the fly by and the guy spills coffee
all over him and they're standing outside, is often here
the guy doing a snut those jockeys Paul won fly

(27:52):
by and I want some buds. He's screaming and the
guy walks out, and then Viper comes out and says,
I think that'll just about cover the fly, like, okay,
like you think Sean McVay walked up to Pookah after today,
after the okay, so you have your what you said
about the officials, you have the apology you had to
make for the dance you did, you worried about your
brother in the car. I think that covers live streams.

(28:15):
I think you should stop doing. I think that's the
last live stream you do, right, Pooka, Okay, great? Thank
You don't want to see you in a live stream
the rest of the year. Actually, you know what, I
don't want to see you in a live stream the
rest of the time. You're in a RAMS uniform. No
live streams, that could be no, Like, that's the that's
the what the contrast is that is that? Now again?
Now I'm going off the top of my head. Now
he's having a big night to night on here.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
Huge. But was that the worst?

Speaker 1 (28:38):
Was that the worst live stream, uh ever that a
player's ever done? Was that the worst live stream a
player thought? I mean, yeah, certainly up there. Yeah that's
really bad, man. I Mean we've seen some things off
the live streams that that are controversial. But does that mean,
oh wait, the live stream was there for John Morant
we want to getting suspended because they showed the gun
on there. Well, okay, that was a live stream, so

(29:01):
but that was you know, they're better without him. But
I don't know he knew that. I don't think he
knew it was a live stream. Maybe Johnmray, I forget
if he didn't know.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
There was a guy or not. Yeah, if that guy,
you know, this was a full no, this is live stream.

Speaker 6 (29:12):
Yeah, like the thing that he issued, the apology, the dance,
and we get into anti semitism and larger discussions there.
It's like there's the question of whether he had any knowledge, right,
and in his statement he said that, But certainly in
the moment, like when you're agreeing, Hey, I'm gonna go
on this live stream, you know, the guy said he's
got all these followers, Nobody in your in your group

(29:34):
does a vetting process of what he's had and where
he's from. Uh so you got all that, But that's
that's inconsequential in the moment.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
And right now the RAMS look like they're not gonna
be happy until they hand this game to the Seahawks.
The Rams driving and they have the ball now near
midfield Stafford looking for Blake Korum in the middle of
the field. The ball is deflected intercepted by the Seahawks.
Jones comes down with it, but it's hard to see

(30:05):
if he actually got his hands under it, if the
ball hit the ground. It's being reviewed right now. The
call in the fields an internet out. That doesn't look
like it's going to be an interception. It looks like
the point of the football hits the ground, and maybe
a little bit more of the football he kind of
slides with it. I gotta think that's going to be
an incomplete pass unless they really really hate Pooka, in

(30:26):
which they will give the football to the Seahawks.

Speaker 6 (30:28):
Calls on the field was an interception though, and his
hands technically were under it started to slip through and
the point hits But did it move, Yeah, and decide
it moved decidedly as he hit the ground.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
It looks like it hits the ground.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
It looks like the well first of all, looks like
the point of the football comes down and touches the
ground even before his hands hit the ground. Then it
looks like it slides a little bit. It's a very
quick review. Matthew Stafford took off his helmet walking off
the sideline. Now he's put his helmet back on. We're
getting the call right now, they are booing at loomin field.
Is an incomplete pass. So now it's third and six

(31:03):
for the Rams again near disaster for them at midfield.
But it looks like the right call was made. You
see the again, watching again, you see the point of
the ball, then you see more of it on the ground. Yeah,
right call is made there. That's an incomplete pass. I
disagree called well, you call it on the field. But
then upon further.

Speaker 6 (31:20):
Review, the hands under the ballot But his hands are
under the ball. No, but the point of the ball
hits the ground before his hands hit the ground with
the ball on it. So if with the ball hits
the ground first, that's not a catch at the ball
and that he didn't complete the catch, Larry, he completed
the catch.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
He didn't complete the catch. Austin the Farian chickens did
not complete the catch. Larry did not complete the catch.
He bobbled all the way out of bounds. Larry, I
don't care if Carl's dead. I didn't complete the catch.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
You can keep yelling all you want.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
Uh flag on the play, Pukinakua makes a catch for
a first down. However, maybe it's gonna wind up giving
the no it's gonna be offside on Well, whenever they
throw a flag, now you think all gets going on
the Rams automatically offside on the Seahawks is declined. Puka
catches it for a first down, so the Rams have

(32:09):
it first and ten seven and a half to go
in overtime. Coming up next, we're breaking down the winners
and losers of one of the best games of the
year in the NFL Rams and the Seahawks fighting for
first place in the NFC West and first place overall,
the number one seed in the NFC. Keep it right here,
Jason and Mike. Happy Football Thursday.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
This is Fox.

Speaker 3 (32:32):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
The Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon.
Tire it away back at halftime when Jackson Smith and
Jigger was a big fat zero. Now seven catches for
ninety two yards, I mean, not quite the night that
Puka Nakua has had.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
We had to in a second.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
The Seahawks have the football five minutes to go in
overtime driving. They need a touchdown because Matthew Stafford has
thrown his third touchdown of the night. He waited for
poka Acua to break open deep. It was a big
play by Stafford and the Rams. Thirty seven thirty is

(33:21):
the score. Matthew Stafford now at four point fifty seven
and three touchdowns. Hopefully you're not going against Matthew Stafford
in fantasy. Meanwhile, Poka and Akoua with a forty six
point night so far and he's at forty six points
so far in a PPR league twelve for two twenty
five and two touchdowns.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
Uh so, huge nights up.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
Again, this is a Rams offense without Devontae Adams putting
up these numbers. But we could wind up seeing something
even more dramatic. Cooper Cup getting the way back machine
to when Cooper Cup was really good like two years ago.
A big catch and a toe drag at the seventeen
yard line. So the Seahawks now have the ball first

(34:06):
down at the seventeen of the Rams meant they need
a touchdown to tie this game, but we thought it
could have been over when Buka Akua catches that ball.
Loominfield is silent, but now here are the Seahawks finding
a way inside the twenty yard line, now facing a
second and eight four minutes to go in ot this game.
Like many people this holiday season, is drunk. We have

(34:29):
seen highlight upon highlight Cooper Cup trying to make make
up for his very early fumble. Remember that was a
red zone turnover.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
I felt like it was like three weeks.

Speaker 6 (34:38):
But it's like we talk about some of the basketball games,
they seem like they ended, you know, last night. So
this one has just been insane. Big plays, big drives,
and no ability no matter what scheme they've tried. And
McDonald's throwing the kitchen sink at the Rams to slow
down Pokin Nakua. I want to know what Sean McVay
yelled to him as he came off the field after

(35:00):
that touch out.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
I still hat you.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
You still made my weak Hell still no live streams
you're still can't to But coach, I got two hundred
and twenty yards receiving.

Speaker 2 (35:07):
I don't care. I don't care streams.

Speaker 1 (35:09):
That's not the inspiration we need no live streams, not
having any live streams. So a big third and three.
Remember you're in two down territory if you are the
Seattle Seahawks. They have the ball the Rams nine yard line.
They get the first down. It is a burst to
the four yard line, so make it a first and
goal for Seattle. Charbonnay gets the first down. Three and

(35:32):
a half left to go again, thirty seven to thirty
Rams of the lead over the Seahawks. Again, we've talked
about this a lot. It doesn't seem like it makes
any sense that this game is as close as it
is because the Seahawks got outplayed throughout most of the game.
But here we are right now and Seahawks are here
knocking on the door. They try to go tempo and

(35:52):
they can't. The Rams call time out, So time out
on the field right now, First and goal for Seattle.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
Let's see now we're up.

Speaker 6 (36:00):
But well, we're at a thousand total yards for the
game as we sit here. For the penalty narrative, it's
only eight to five, so it's not overwhelming. It may
seem it, and they've come in big spots.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
What would the penalty call be if Puka doesn't do
the live stream insulting the refs.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (36:17):
I'd have to go back penalty. What the referees have
done all day penalty? Well, I mean, like as we
talked about yesterday, I mean, there's still gonna be plenty
of opportunity in the standalone game. I'm not throwing that flag. No, no, no,
no worry about you. Guys are good, yeah, but you're
not hiding at a one o'clock window. If you blatantly
just say ah, I'm not calling that, You're gonna get
called to the carpet for that too, by one side

(36:38):
or the other, particularly in a very raucous loom.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
In the field.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
I mean a thousand yards of offense, and it doesn't
feel like the Seahawks have any of them, right. It
feels like it's all the Rams. But the Seahawks have
run for one hundred and seventy yards and now we
have a chance at a tie, potential go ahead if
they go for two. Because Jackson Smith and Jigba, who
is a big fans here. Now he's got wow, four

(37:02):
fantasy points. He catches a touchdown in the back of
the end zone thirty seven thirty six, three thirteen left,
and now the decision's gonna be made. Is it going
to be? It looks like the offense is staying on
the field for the Seahawks. They're going for two and
the win. Right here this I love this call. Right

(37:23):
before whatever happens, I love this call. Rather than give
the ball back to the Rams and offense put up
four hundred yards, go and try to win the game
right here.

Speaker 6 (37:30):
You think they're putting some ACDC through the loud speakers,
the biggest, biggest I mean, because you think about it,
this is where in theory you would say, well, tie
the game.

Speaker 1 (37:43):
See, you know there's still time left, put your defense
back on the field. But this is the Rams have
been able to do whatever they want to do. You
really think you're keeping them out of the end zone
or away from field goal range. You have three and
a half minutes left, right, you have three and a
half minutes. You're at home. Go for the juggler. You
can get three yards right here. Again we're seeing the
replay of the JSN touchdown till the.

Speaker 6 (38:03):
Time from the end zone. Great Sam saying, I'll give
you a lot of credit.

Speaker 8 (38:07):
Sam Sam, Sam samund.

Speaker 1 (38:09):
He has come back from a brutal first two and
a half quarters to have a really good last quarter
and a half plus, and now they're back on the
field for a two point conversion that could potentially give
the number one seed to the Seahawks or the Rams,
depending how this play goes.

Speaker 6 (38:25):
Yeah, I mean, look the old Uh nobody wants to tie.
Oh hate ties, So yeah, go for it.

Speaker 1 (38:31):
I mean that it's the right thing to do if
it was a defensive battle, right, and now the Seahawks
are taking a time out. If it was a defensive battle,
if it was a thirteen to thirteen game, and you
kick a field, okay, but the way you gotta you
gotta go by how the game is, and the game
is a thousand yards of offense. So what are the
odds you really think? Oh, but I had confidence in
my defense.

Speaker 2 (38:50):
No, you're just stupid.

Speaker 1 (38:51):
If you had confidence, you your defense hadn't stopped them
the entire game. Don't put them back on the field
like you you have playmakers. It looked like they had
that last play set up with Jackson Smith Njigba with
one on one coverage on the outside, but again time
out by the Rams. Puka Nakua and Matthew Stafford are
laughing on the sideline right before this two point conversion.

(39:11):
A little weird to see him laughing like that, but
real stressful. But Okay, you're an offensive player. You've kind
of done your job with you know, four hundred yards
passing a two hundred yard receivers.

Speaker 2 (39:21):
Stuff, did you do?

Speaker 6 (39:22):
I mean, at some point, you're just marveling that you're
in this situation. You've taken advantage of opportunities. You look
at the passing yard and you got eight different guys
with a reception for the rams of at least thirteen yards.

Speaker 1 (39:34):
Yeah, it's been a big night offensively. And so now
I don't think we're gonna get a time out again
because you know, we just had back to back timeouts.
So it's gonna wind up being an all Enhing play
and it is a two point conversion. The Seahawks win it.
Sam Donald buys.

Speaker 8 (39:51):
Enough time, Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam.

Speaker 1 (39:53):
Look at Sam Donald, the hero apologize now, Jason snatching
the MVP in the NFL way, Matthew Stafford, Sam Darnold
made a good pass, made a good decision.

Speaker 2 (40:06):
What do you want me to say?

Speaker 8 (40:06):
I want you to say your team destroys every good
quarterback in this league.

Speaker 2 (40:11):
Like that's new news.

Speaker 8 (40:12):
Your team literally destroys every good quarterback. Aaron Rodgers snapped
his achilles. Your teams cursed.

Speaker 2 (40:17):
It's like everything.

Speaker 1 (40:18):
It's like when the devil touches something in a movie
and it just dies right away.

Speaker 8 (40:22):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (40:23):
The touchdown, a two point conversion thirty eight to thirty
seven is your final in overtime. We break it down
with Jay Glazer coming up next. The Seahawks could wind
up being the number one seed in the NFC after
that two point conversion. Whoo, we got more. Next, must

(40:44):
listen Fox. Middle of the field, Darnald under pressure, buys
time uh, and Sawbert is wide open just inside the
goal line. He makes the catch.

Speaker 2 (40:55):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
In a few minutes, we'll play you the play by
play call and you'll hear just how stunned the Seahawks
play by play team was that they won this game.
But it was an absolute thriller. It goes to the
Seahawks are now in the driver's seat for the number
one seed in the NFC, and there is nobody better
to talk to an NFL On Fox Insider Extraordinaiy Jay Glazer,
He is on Twitter at Jay Glazer Jay Happy Thursday.

Speaker 6 (41:18):
Man.

Speaker 1 (41:18):
Mike Pulse is still racing from that game.

Speaker 5 (41:20):
Wow, how about that one? Man that you know what,
these two teams, they're gonna be doing this I think
for a long time.

Speaker 2 (41:27):
Uh, you know what do you make?

Speaker 1 (41:29):
I love the call at the end. We're gonna go
for two. Our defense has just been getting worked. They
had to do that.

Speaker 5 (41:35):
It would have to because even if it was a tie,
the Rams would have still held the time breakers, so
they had to go for it. And that's kind of yeah.
It's man. You know, defensively they're real aggressive offensively like
what they're doing Seattle. But you know, this is just
his second year of Mike McDonald and you know a
lot of people didn't know about him, but Josh Schneider
did and he was locked in on him to be

(41:56):
their head coach. It really was. You know, what he's
done with his team in such a short period of
time has really been just amazing.

Speaker 6 (42:08):
It's an absolutely insane way to kick off the next
week of action here, Jay, I mean, we've watched his
team's battle to a total of forty points struggling just
a couple of weeks ago, and to come back with
this high flying action.

Speaker 2 (42:20):
Really not what you expect squads.

Speaker 5 (42:21):
Yeah. Now, I also think the big thing for Lea
Seattle was Sam Dartle, right, like, man, they needed to
win a beigin Sam need to win a be again. Yeah,
and for sure the defensive coordinator, whether he's been a Seattle,
whether he's been in Minnesota, he's had his number and
had his number in the first half. In the adjustments
that they made and the way Sam was able to
step up, I think gives them confidence now right and

(42:45):
he became with this guy, we could win. And you know,
we know defensively they're a bit Seattle team is tough,
and you know the Rams obviously offensive even about DeVonta
Adams early on their way. Man, this is a This
is a huge win, huge for the Shadow Seahawks much.

Speaker 1 (43:07):
Now, I know how how well you know Sean McVeigh
I I I don't know how you text them after that?

Speaker 5 (43:13):
Do really well? Also so it's two of them happen
to live here, but no, really well, but.

Speaker 1 (43:19):
I don't know how how long do you wait to
text them after this? Because this is a game where
the Rams have to say right.

Speaker 5 (43:24):
After you know what it is it's not just him.
I text all my friends, most of my friends after
they lose, because nobody does.

Speaker 2 (43:33):
Oh wow, yeah, because.

Speaker 5 (43:36):
That's just it's really lonely when you lose, whether they're coaches, players, coordinators,
I just know how it is. You feel like then
everybody hates, no one wants to be you know, I'm useless,
I'm getting fired like it's you know, it need to
be crazy to be on this level. Well, the room
engine your head really started chirping him a bad losses.
So I always always step up to friends of mine

(43:59):
lose and and lose badly, and you know, adds up.
It's very appreciated that you know, you don't know what,
you know what to say, But I don't want them
to just sit there with no one where everybody else
runs away. You know, you got to run two people
with they're down, man, not run away, you know.

Speaker 1 (44:16):
But but I Jay, you know, I'm a Jets fan.
I've never gotten one text for you after a Jets game.
All we do is lose.

Speaker 5 (44:22):
You could have texted you that one I get. I
gave up on that for you. I don't have enough.

Speaker 1 (44:28):
Yeah, you just you just you just set the tweet
like to send it. I'm gonna send it at four
fifteen pm every Sunday to Jason. Hey, sorry about that,
and it just got you up to worry about it.
Just set it and forget it. That's how it goes.

Speaker 5 (44:41):
We know what the problem is there, that's yeah, but
I will, I'll, you know, and and uh, sometimes Sean
deal with it. Sometimes he melts down and that's fine.
But you know this, uh, this one's gonna sting them.
So you know from number one. I don't know what
they dropped through here, but you know on field events,
that's that's a difficult one for them. You know.

Speaker 1 (45:03):
The one thing I had to say Jay coming off
of time. We'll get to Puka in a second, is
that I know, Josh Allen, Yeah, go ahead.

Speaker 6 (45:09):
I will.

Speaker 5 (45:09):
I will say this another thing. Yeah about Shaw though,
remember last year we were I was talking about, Hey,
you're gonna rest if they won their last game. They
were facing like a they won the last team, They're
gonna face the worst team first round of the playoffs.

(45:30):
He decided to rest everybuddy. He said, why isn't it
like better for you because then you get to face
you know, this worst team the first round He's like,
if we're gonna get to the super Bowl, we got
to play them all. It doesn't matter to me. So
he did what, you know, the option of what people
think you would do. You want a better first round game.
He's like, No, if we're gonna get the super Bowl,
we got to play them all. Anyway, I care about

(45:50):
the Super Bowls. I don't care about winning one game
at a time.

Speaker 1 (45:54):
Jake Glazer with us, Jason Smith, Mike Harmon Love from
the Fox Sports Radio studios. All right, now, you know
one thing, McVeigh is gonna cat and go man without
DeVante Adams. Tonight, Matthew Stafford goes for four point fifty
and three touchdowns. I know other quarterbacks that are coming
on strong, and Josh Allen's coming on strong. But Jay,
after tonight, I don't know how you look at anybody
but Matthew Stafford for the MVP of the league.

Speaker 2 (46:14):
It's really hard.

Speaker 5 (46:15):
Yeah, you know, what Stafford's done has been absolutely ridiculous.
And yeah, I mean I agree with him, you know, obviously, Josh,
because there's nobody else you know that you can he's
doing without the weapons at Matthew House. But I don't
care weapons are weapons. But what Matthew's done this year
is just insane. I agree with it, absolutely agree.

Speaker 6 (46:35):
Now, Jay, obviously we're hoping for a better weekend. Here's
the first start of it. But you know, you look
at mahomes Micah. Two huge losses for the Packers. They've
got the Bears on Saturday and a return bout. You know,
how much does they have to change things Haflee and
what he comes in for the.

Speaker 5 (46:53):
Fine thing they are because they had a certain plan
for Micah for this game. Obviously they can't do that now.
So yeah, they're they're going to change certain things up.
And they got they lost their safety. I mean, they're
they're banged up. They're very banged up, you know, so
I think there's gonna be certain things. But it's also
part of this coaching is like you've got to make

(47:13):
sure that everyone doesn't feel deflated because you lost the
one guy. And that's huge, it's huge part part of coaching.
And you can do as much as you want, but
you really you got you're gonna have in this case,
you gotta see on Saturday if that resonated with guys,
are that or if they're you know, certain teams rally,
they lose somebody and then it sudden they get everybody

(47:33):
steps up right, and you know, and like when Joe
Burrow first came back that first game, a defense only
who's been coaches all year, all of a sudden they
are great, right, so you could rally around certain things.
They're gonna have to rally that Mike is not there.
You know, that's just a that's just the oda. Truth is,
they're gonna have to look at it and go, no,

(47:54):
the sky didn't fall. We're here for certain reason. Now
it's time for us to step up. Make him proud.

Speaker 1 (48:00):
Do you think, Jay, you look at all these look
big games this week and obviously we talked you know,
Bears and Bears and the Packers and everything else. Is
do you see the Seahawks with home field at the
end of all of this in a couple of weeks.

Speaker 5 (48:12):
I think we're sitting right now. Chaddle's a tough team.
Man at defense is ridiculous. It's you know, they're they're offensively,
they're really well balanced, run against fantastics and this is
out without their left tackles. Night it was a they're
a tough team. They're you know, I said it on
our kickoff show. The two teams you don't want to

(48:33):
face down the stretch for the Seahawks and the Texans
because of their defenses, you just don't want to see them.
And they show watch tonight. I know, I know the
high pour a game, but but so I think Seattle's
defense down a stretch, you just don't look the Rams
are how to attack them, most don't. They're just a
tough team. They're tough defense.

Speaker 6 (48:53):
The old familiarity breeds contempt and potentially about performance for
the Rams. The other thing Sean McVay had to navigate
is this whole Puka nakua thing.

Speaker 2 (49:02):
You know, the league has to chime in on the I'm.

Speaker 5 (49:04):
Sure I'm sure he's thrilled about that about that, but
I can only imagine he wasn't thrilled about that.

Speaker 6 (49:10):
Yeah, yeah, certainly, not not going into this type of
game or or any point. Uh, especially with all the
different subplots that came along with it.

Speaker 2 (49:20):
Jay, Uh, how do you how.

Speaker 6 (49:22):
Does the league respond with anything other than a statement?
I mean, he gets suspended for a seat.

Speaker 5 (49:27):
Yeah, no, I'm sure he's gonna get a hapty five
forty said about the officials that I'm sure about. And
you know, as far as the answer Somemitic stuff, I'm
gonna take him over sea. This word. I don't think
he knew. And I gonna be honest with you, guys,
I'm Jewish. I didn't know. I was like, okay, so no,
I didn't know that that's what it was. I think

(49:48):
people are so looking for anything right now. Oh look
what he did. I really don't think you knew. Now
the other stuff he said, Dad, he knows you can't say.

Speaker 1 (49:58):
Yeah, I'm a pretty I feel pretty good about this.
That Sean McVay is gonna say, hey, let's cool it
on the live streams until the end of the season.

Speaker 2 (50:05):
Well, let's not have that.

Speaker 5 (50:08):
Or the fact that the invited into the facility on Tuesday,
the one day that can practice. I'm sure you know.

Speaker 1 (50:16):
You can follow on Twitter at Jay Glazer. That is
at Jay Glazer. Jay again, Happy holidays, Thanks so much.
We'll talk to me and enjoy the night. Appreciate it Anyboddy,
there it goes Jay. Yeah, I mean I don't think
the live streams will be uh, there will be an
issue anymore.

Speaker 6 (50:32):
No, I think you want to button that up for
the last can you know, wait until the super Bowl's done,
whether we're raising a championship, you know, a true finish
to a season championship and we've got the confetti, or
you want to be consoled by your followers afterwards.

Speaker 2 (50:48):
Have at it, but until then, put the phone away.
