(02:36):
and the reports that we have he is still in
the hospital in Cincinnati as of last night, according to
his uncle who spoke to CNN and the edf On
network and others, that he is on fifty percent oxygen,
which is an improvement off the oncent that was needed
when he initially got into the hospital. So he's still sedated.
That's the latest as far as the health concerns go

(02:58):
for to mar Hamlin and what we have based on
the information that's been passed along. If anything else comes
of that throughout the course of the show, we will
have the very latest on all of that. The conversation
then becomes what the NFL decided to do when it
came to this game. There was some speculation, will they
try and play this game the Bills Bengals game and
conclude the game which was halfway or a little bit

(03:20):
more than halfway through the first quarter. Will they try
and do something this week? Will the NFL announced the
game is not going to be played this week and
there's going to be no changes made to Week eighteen.
So then, with it being so late in the season,
and with the status of the a f C and
home field advantage and first round buys up for grabs,

(03:41):
what does the NFL do? And I don't think they
have a clear cut answer. There's been some speculation about
what they might do, But how do you guys think
this should be handled as we just sort of try
and patch this thing together and try and figure out
how we get a season finished with everything on the
line from a playoffs standpoint. Here's a tough part about
even trying to answer this is how do you expect

(04:05):
the Bills to play this week? I mean, if you're
really taking mental health seriously, how do you expect them
to be able to play this week? That I mean,
and there might be some people out there who feel
like they should be able to and that's their opinion,
But isn't this up to the players, to Sean mcdermoty's
coaching staff and and how that team, that organization is feeling.

(04:29):
That's the tough part is you've got all this stuff
that's up in the air on the line right now,
and unless we really get some some good news about
Damar Hamlin and in short order, it's it's hard for
these guys, especially some who were you stayed in Cincinnati,
they didn't even go back to Buffalo with the team.

(04:49):
You know, how do you look at the Buffalo Bills
given their current state and where their minds at and
ask them to prepare for a game when some of
these guys might not even be back in Buffalo by that.
That would be my biggest question. Like it's not it's
not about things have to go on, right. A business
has to continue to to do business under circumstances, any circumstances.

(05:15):
I mean even after nine eleven, a week later, we
were we were back playing. I don't I don't look
at it from that perspective. I look at it more
so as what you just said, how are they preparing?
You know, how are they able if if there's guys
that are still there with him and still spending time
with him, if they didn't have a legit opportunity to

(05:37):
get the week of preparation and to get back to
business and get back to work after what took place,
that would be my biggest question is how do they
How do they do that? Not not more so getting back,
because you have to get back. I mean you have to,
you have to start back. And and as difficult as

(05:59):
that may be, as as much of a proposition as
it may be, even mentally speaking, mental health wise speaking,
that's just how it is. I mean That's just how
it has to be. Is there is there's still business
that has to be done, There's still a season that
has to be played. And I don't think that that's
being insensitive to Hamlin and what took place. I just

(06:23):
think that that's I mean, for all intents of purposes,
that's just how it is. It's yeah, it's it's a
reality of the situation and where where the NFL is at.
And it is a good point on how you expect
Buffalo to play this upcoming week? You know, like everyone's
talking about, you know, well they couldn't finish the game
against Cincinnati, but we've got this week coming. Okay, Well,

(06:44):
if you couldn't play Cincinnati, what makes you think that
they'll just be ready to go for the Bills or
for the Patriots rather it just and and also on
the Cincinnati side, what makes you think Cincinnati is gonna
be ready to go this weekend? It I just wonder,
what's like, what is the fell How how late can
they push this before they make a decision on this
game or do you just say, depending on what happens

(07:07):
this weekend, we just sort of scrapped this Cincinnati game
and we just called the regular season after this upcoming
weekend and we just continue on moving forward. There's also
been a thought do you replay the game and push
wild card weekend back, which would eat up, you know,
the bye week before the Super Bowl. There's just so
much up in the air now, not a lot of

(07:29):
wiggle room the real quick. The other thing is win percentage.
You know, you could basically just go on the seating
based off I was about to ask you that they
talked about it during the COVID year because there's an
anticipation that some of the games would be canceled, and
it probably it makes a lot of sense just from
the standpoint of Levart's your point. You know, things will

(07:53):
move forward, um, but if there's some teams that can't um,
you know, similar to back when we were in the
COVID year, and there might be be a team that's
impacted by COVID and had an outbreak and they couldn't
field enough players. Other teams are still gonna play, They're
still gonna push forward, so win percentage would have to
be factored in. I think there's some people who feel like, well, hey,

(08:13):
that sounds like it's unfair then right, you know, you
have the Chiefs, who currently sit as the number one
overall seed. The Bills, had they one out, would have
ended up taking that spot. And obviously, given that they
were the favorite to win the Super Bowl four the season,
everything else that's transpired, they yeah, well that that's That's
what I was alluding to, um. But the whole point is,

(08:36):
like having home field throughout in Buffalo is a huge
home field advantage, and so it's tough to even have
this conversation because they're the team that ultimately would benefit
the most from actually going back and playing the games
to be able to have that number one you know,
overall seed and home field advantage, and yet they're the
team that's most impacted by what's happened with Damar Hamlin.

(08:59):
So it's such a difficult task for the NFL. You know,
I feel like for all parties involved in that front,
you know, in their league office, to be able to
make this decision, it's not easy. But at the end
of the day, they're gonna have to make a decision
at some point. And you know, if I'm sure they're
gonna factor in damorrow Hamblin's progress in his recovery, you know,

(09:20):
praying that he makes a full recovery. I just don't
think there's any way you can replay the game at
this point, because the season is coming to an end.
What you're gonna do, You're gonna load them up with
a game win because they would have had a bye
week or whatever, or maybe they don't have the bye
week because they don't have the number one seed anymore.
Regardless of how you look at push back playoffs so

(09:41):
that you'd eat up as Jonah said that week before
the Super Bowl, which apparently they looked at doing, or
they did back, and there's a two thousand and two,
two thousand and one, there's a season back then where
where they had done that for the playoffs to the
two one h Well, if you if you, if you
did it that way, then now you're giving all the

(10:01):
other teams an advantage as well, because remember they whatever
games were supposed to be playing. If you give if you,
if you push it back a year, put it back
a week week, right, then that would mean that everybody
gets like an extra week. Here, here's the one thing,
and everybody gets a buy now. Really yeah, And and

(10:23):
also what ends up happening is because these two this
is such a massive game for the a f C
that if you know, Cincinnati wins this weekend, Buffalo wins
this weekend, Kansas City wins this weekend. I mean, now
you're talking about or if Kansas City loses, now we're
talking about the winner of Cincinnati Buffalo. Well, I mean

(10:44):
Cincinnati would then take over the two seed and and
and then what do you do in Cincinnati could actually theoretically,
like kan City lost and a Buffalo loss, they would
have the tidebreaker over man, if they had beaten Buffalo
and Kansas City, since they already beat them there at
the sidebreaker for both. There's no I mean, it's just
the I hate to say what I think. No, I don't,

(11:06):
I don't hate to say what I think. I'm gonna
say what I think. The bottom line here is you're
not going to move the entire playoffs based off of
this one pope, this one game that that got postponed
the way that it did or or whatever it's labeled as.
So this game is going to I don't think it's

(11:29):
going to be finished. I don't think it's they're they're
not going to finish this game because you're overloading the
bills to play this game, and not to mention and
and the Bengals. These are both highly rated, ready to
playoff teams. You're not going to take a week away
from like how do you do it? Yeah? I just

(11:50):
don't see how you do it? So you got it.
You gotta go with however you calculated off of what
took place. I mean, in a way, it's no different
than if if it's part of it, it's an act
of God that took place, basically, and and and so
if it happens that way, you just got to say, hey,
we could have been the number one rated team, the

(12:10):
number one seeded team, but you know what, one of
our comrades went down. We weren't able to play the game.
So we're gonna take what our given scenario is going
into the playoffs. It is what it is. What a
crazy year from Buffalo man talk about whether I mean
everything like like being moved around, snowed in in Chicago
and then you know, seeing what happened with to mar

(12:31):
Hamlin and now trying to figure out the finish of
this season. And you know, we were looking at that
game against Kansas City that hey, that was that was
massive for them. We talked about the home field advantage
snow games in Buffalo, and and here we are trying
to figure out whether or not you're even gonna be
able to get another game. I hope the NFL is
really factoring in, you know, Sean McDermott and his team's,

(12:54):
you know, response to all this, whether it's about this week,
um in week eight teen and just moving forward and
how they're trying to create whatever decision they make moving forward.
I hope they're factoring in all of that. I'm sure
they are. I mean, I think there's you know, some
back and forth between ESPN and the NFL yesterday about

(13:15):
you know, who exactly had communicated the five minute warm up,
And as I said yesterday, uh, it's it's just it's
not like Joe Buck to say something that he wasn't
told in that instance, like he's so good at his job,
and and he came out and defended himself to Andrew Marshan,
who obviously is part of the New York Post but
as a podcast and basically said they were in contact

(13:38):
of the league the entire time. And so Troy vents
he can come out and say what every once for
the NFL. But we've seen the NFL fumble constantly, and
so there's no doubt in my mind the NFL probably
went to a standard protocol or procedure when they saw
a player down and communicated that to someone that communicated
that to ESPN, and then became aware of how dire

(14:01):
the circumstances were and probably backed off of that. But
it doesn't change the fact that you know that delay
took an hour and and it just it didn't make
any sense while the game wasn't canceled immediately, Like I
don't think you needed to have Zach Taylor approach Sean McDermott,

(14:21):
to have both teams go to the locker room and
then talk to them and say we don't need to
play this game. Like good leadership at the NFL, whether
it's Troy Vincent or Roger Goodell, they should have been
the ones to call it and not put them in
harm's way. But that that wasn't how it was. Everything transpired. Yeah,
it's just not a not an easy situation for for
a lot of people involved. But again, if we have

(14:42):
any updates on this throughout the course of the show,
we're gonna be on until nine am Eastern time. I

I'm sorry, I don't want I didn't want to start

and Jonas did it, which was it was gonna make
some time for it was through the rain in my

(16:54):
calftand down into my basement joined this show. Hey, by
the way, I texted, that was a sweet Hawaii sweater
you were wearing on with with Fred Rogan the other
night on the Challenge on NBC and l A yeah,
light blue on a homage to my favorite film about Hawaii,
Hard Ticket to Hawaii, the Andy Sadaris Vehicle from the

(17:19):
late eighties. That is one of the worst movies of
all time. Some say, but I think it's great, but no,
it's it's a really cheesy. You guys don't know who
Andy Sadaris was. Andy Saidaris was like he was like
an old sports director from the Louisiana area who went
crazy and took all this money and started making a

(17:42):
bunch of b movies with a bunch of like playboy
playmates and booby models and they shoot people and have
their boobs out and stuff like that. Uh. Sadaris was
a Greek from Shreveport, just like Tim Brando's for Shreveport.
He died in Beverly Hills, but some of these movies

(18:04):
guys like Hard Ticket to Hawaii, Savage Beast, Hard Hunted, Guns,
it's just called guns. By the way, he wrote a book.
Do you know the title of the book. I've got
it here Bullets, bombs and babes. That's right. I mean,
come on, man. And so there's this movie called Hard

(18:25):
Ticket to Hawaii and it's got a song. I mean,
maybe somebody could pull it up. It goes, it's a
hard ticket to Hawaii. It's not pair of dice all
the time. And a guy gets his head chopped off
with a frisbee in this movie, fee Well he puts

(18:53):
he puts razor blades on it. He switches them out
when he's throwing with this guard with a machine gun
takes us for this is for the Molokai cops. It's
like a hippies ninja star. It's unreal. Yeah. And he
goes nice ass to a girl and she turns around
and goes, you've got a nice as two pilgrim. It's like, yeah,

(19:13):
it's a hard ticket to anyway. That's why I wore
my squish petros Can, how was your break? You're terrible
every year it's the worst. I wish I would have
been home. There is a time. Oh yeah, come on

(19:48):
and that right Jonah oh Man, all that math? Oh yeah, Petras,
is this similar to the backside of pa Oh it's
which one the windy side of Maui? Yeah, I mean yeah.
I think you have a lot of fallout people for

(20:11):
decades that go to Hawaii and just end up pumping
gas in Honolulu and eventually they end up selling their bodies.
It's a hard ticket. It's now now, you know, Petros,
They are listening to us in Hawaii right now on

(20:32):
Hawaii Fox Sports, So shout out to them all the way.
Berto has been playing a lot of Hawaiian moves, appears
that based on that, had a lot of stuff in
the studio, a lot of people selling their bodies for
stuff that we're seeing in studio. It's a beautiful place,
but it's not paradise all the time. As we know

(20:53):
that wasn't paradise for USC. Oh come on, two lane,
I mean you know what, LaVar. You know what when
somebody takes the field and I don't know, it doesn't
matter who you're playing, but they start gashing you like
three plays at a time, like it's a high school mismatch,

(21:13):
and that's what tou Lane was doing offensively to USC.
They they were scoring in three two four plays and
going eighty yards seventy yards. You ain't gonna win as
spectacular as Caleb Williams was and as good as they
did with the time of possession and possessing the ball
because Tulane was dropping eight so they just forced Caleb

(21:36):
to pick him apart and he looked pretty good. But
man USC had some serious issues defensively all year and
they never improved. They got worse and worse. They lost
their last two games where they needed to finish strong
after the whole college football world was washing their balls
and all of a sudden everything fell apart because they

(21:56):
just couldn't get off blocks and the guys that did
get off box couldn't make the fan tackle. So it
was amazing to see. And you know, here's the other thing.
I love the city of New Orleans, as you guys know,
and I have some friends there, and never once in
their lives did any of them ever give an a
about tu Lane. They hate Tulane. New Orleans is not

(22:19):
a two lane town. New Orleans is an l s
U town. Tu Lane is a private school where kids
like Dodger GM smart kids from the East Coast, Andrew
Friedman and stuff. They end up down there and they
end up having a good time, and it's a great school.
It's in the Garden district, but it's not a place

(22:39):
that the city normally embraces. And all of a sudden,
Tu Lane beats USC and has revenge for the nineteen
two Rose Bowl lost in US, and all of a sudden,
all these guys are tweeting me and texting me pictures
and them holding bottles of Christal wearing two Lane sweatshirts.

(23:00):
Now we're popping by ad to Fee, We're popping bottles
down here. It's like, okay, really, you guys, But I
was really it was great to see. And I love
to see the turnaround as amazing. Two wins to twelve,
as you pointed out on our show yesterday. And I
like that big Willie style, big Willie Fritz style. He's

(23:20):
the guy Willie Fritz that started Blend Junior College and
their dom not started it, but he started their football
programs dominance where they became a feeder to a bunch
of blue bloods and developing talent. Cam Newton probably the
most prominent from Yeah, yeah, he would be, and so

(23:42):
I thought he did a great job obviously in the game,
and it was tough to see USC go down like that.
Blick and Riley still has turned to USC football around
and changed USC football. But they have a lot of
gaps to fill defensively literally, and they have a been
of a bitter taste going through the off season because

(24:03):
of that, and you hate to see it. It happened
to U c l A too, getting boat raced down
the stretch. Uh, to your to your point earlier about
the place, Um, they only had two and only had
one drive over eight place on offense that entire game,
and it was I want to say, maybe the final
one that ended up going for a touchdown. UM, but

(24:24):
pretty interesting. Was listening back and forth, you know, I
have the serious x M. So I was on my
way to a party and I was listening to the
USC call oh god no, and then you turn over
into the two lane. You just hit the button. It's caught.
It's history or two lane. By the way, on the

(24:47):
note of the two people reaching out doing that, you
know who else celebrated like that? This year to me
was USC so I'm not sure that that there. You know,
some of the fan base there with SC is not
in the same count I didn't try to drag my
you know what across your grave, did I know? Which?
Look as I that's the only game I root for USC,
and because I love the USC Notre Dame rivalry. I

(25:09):
loved playing in it and I thought it was really special.
So that's usually one of the only games I actually
become like an ex player and the really root for US.
But I didn't. I never go after you about it, Brady.
I know you have enough to deal with already, with
all the fight on fingers all, a lot of body,
a lot of a lot of all of the body

(25:30):
on the point of defensive issues they've had and the
issues that Lincoln had in Oklahoma. Now USC, you know
Grince was with him, he brought he brought him with them.
Do you think he's gonna they're gonna keep them? They
think there's gonna be a potential change they're given the
lack of you know, defensive prowess, I guess, or how
they struggled under Lincoln Riley as a head coach. Well,

(25:53):
he hasn't gotten the vote of confidence publicly after the game,
so you never or no, it was pretty bad that
that kind of collapse. But I don't think so. I
don't think you'd do that, not after a year of
just slapping the team together. But it does bear to
it bears to reason that a team with a really innovative,

(26:17):
great play calling offensive coach is having a hard time
playing defense. And that's not the first time that's ever happened.
I mean, this guy does come from Mike Leach's coaching tree,
even though Bob Stoops, who's a defensive guy, which is
really great. Speaks wonderfully to Bob Stoops and his football
prowess and his ability to staff. All of these guys,

(26:40):
these air raid types, a lot of them came up
under Bob Stoops, who's a defensive man and all about
that side of the ball. So well, we'll see what
they do. They have personnel problems and obviously problems with
an overall vibe in the unit, but that can't be
fixed with a transfer portal. When you're supposed to be

(27:02):
a good, growing football team, you need to develop guys
from within, developed leadership, have older guys that are really
good with really good practice habits that show the younger
guys how to be when they come into school so
they can one day become those guys. And that's something
that has to kind of feed off itself. And we

(27:24):
don't know how teams are going to handle that as
far as the transfer portal goes and how much of
that they're going to be able to do. But that's
really the way you build a defense. So we'll see
how USC handles it. Maybe a bit of a hybrid
look going forward, or they'll fire the guy, but I
hope they don't. I like him, but obviously one of

(27:45):
the worst performances I've ever seen defensively on what was
supposed to be a promising USC football team. Down to stretch.
Get him on Twitter at the Old p Petros. Papa
dvegis joining us here on two Pros and a Cup
of Joe Fox Sports Radios, Petris. I wanted to ask you, Um,
you saw Bryce Young in high school and we were

(28:05):
when I was impressed with him. We were talking about
he's most likely going to be the number one overall
pick in the draft, just in comparison two other quarterbacks
you've seen come out of Southern California. How good is
Bryce Young in comparison to all those, well, he's as
good as far as just being able to drop back
and see it and be calm and deliver the football

(28:27):
and have some arm talent and do a bunch of
good stuff. He's not like he It's the interesting thing
is Bryce Young is a lot better than a lot
of the dudes that were Gatorade Player of the Year
types before him at at modern day and I'm talking
about modern era, modern day, not Matt liner and era

(28:48):
modern day football, which is a big time high school
here in southern California. So Matt Barkley would be the
other one. J. T. Daniels would be the other one.
And those were guys that were there were really great players,
but they were five star quarterback recruits because of the
team they were on a lot like Heward from Washington.

(29:11):
They were guys that could drop back and deliver it
on a really really outlying high school football team. Uh,
not like a dude like Trevor Lawrence right, who walks
into the room and you're like, oh my god, that's
a five star quarterback. Like those guys didn't jump off
the page physically. Like to me, if you put five

(29:31):
stars by a guy, he can't be kind of a
normal looking white guy that looks like a baseball player,
you know what I'm saying, and doesn't have like these
unbelievable physical attributes like speed and all that he could
be a great quarterback. I mean, Tom Brady is not
a five star recruit. He doesn't have measurables. I mean,
he could be a great quarterback, but that doesn't mean

(29:52):
he has all these boxes that he checks as the
best recruit of all time, and Bryce was was better
than the those guys. He was more physically gifted than
those guys and a little bit quicker on the trigger
than those guys, and his talent showed even above all
of these special players that he was out there competing with.

(30:14):
So I've thought he was great the whole time. I
think his dad's a great guy, and he's got the
right kind of leadership and his family and that helps
a lot with these young guys who have a lot
of opportunity coming for them, and a lot of opportunity
through the high school time where you knew he was

(30:35):
going to be special. So I think he's been handled perfectly,
to be honest, And uh, I don't know if he's
as big strong and fast as a guy who you
would normally have as the number one pick in the draft.
But my god, they picked Baker Mayfield first in the draft.
So what you're gonna do? Let me throw this no words, No,

(30:56):
it is a hot ticket to Hawaii. Yeah. So, you know,
I just went watched the Rose Bowl and I was
making jokes about going into the game, like, you know,
the Ten is going to show you guys how to
handle you know, show us see how to handle a
team like Utah who is known to be a super

(31:17):
super physical team, and they are, they are a very
physical group. Um, we did out physical them. Penn State
eventually wore them down and out out physical them, which
that's what Michigan probably should have did as well, but
we won't. I won't touch on that. Um, just looking

(31:38):
at the idea that USC and U c l A
Are going into the Big Ten were we were the
third third best team and in the Big Ten and
and we aren't yet at the level of being as
physical as a Michigan or a you know in an
Ohio State. What what is the you know, was there

(32:00):
any type of takeaway from that that, you know, the
most physical team in the pack got man handled by
a ten team. Yeah, I don't. I mean, I think
you can look at a bowl game and say a
lot of things and make a lot draw a lot
of conclusions. I mean, it's a little bit like the
thing that happened in the Buffalo Bills game, where everybody

(32:20):
takes this young man's heart event and they turn it
into whatever they have against football or whatever their platform
is to change football or so I think if you
think the Big ten's a lot more physical than the
Pack twelve, which it is, you can take this game
and say, look at look at what happened, and oh

(32:41):
my god, USC and U C l A are left
And that could very very well be true. My my
inkling is that it's probably somewhere in the middle. Yeah,
because all I mean, you know what bowl games are like,
some teams come out and they just for whatever reason,
and you don't know why. They're well coached teams, they
just don't they don't have a good day and and yeah,
and you tah to not have a good day and

(33:02):
they got beat at the line of scrimmage by another team.
And I've seen, I mean I've seen you talk about
and do that to Alabama when they're in the Mountain
West so and Penn State had a great performance and
Franklin finally got uh a lot of what he deserves.
And I think that's great. But you know, the rose

(33:24):
but rose pedal bath and all that. But I think, uh,
I think USC and U c l A have a
little bit of adjusting to do as far as how
they're gonna play, especially deep into the season and those
and as Brady pointed out on our show, it's certainly
gonna be a lot harder to win that conference, even
though neither of them won the back twelve this year

(33:44):
than than it was the Pack twelve. But I don't
I don't know if that game, standing on its own,
is the evidence that I need to say that, oh
my god, U s C and U c l A
are gonna wilt like a like a piece of lettuce
in the sun. Uh. But but it could very well

(34:06):
be true. I mean, USC, it couldn't stop too Lane,
so yeah, you know, I mean, but they might have it.
They might be able to stop Iowa. What about what
about because that's Mike, what would Illinois? Britt Bill, I
just gonna run it down their throats the little time
they're gonna try right when when when when they were
gonna line up and they're gonna run his own right,

(34:27):
They're gonna run his own left. They're gonna run the power.
You against it, They'll keep doing it. You're a little
excited about a little turned on by I love I
love just watching run the football. Look. I did the
what's your f and Deal? Game with Pete Carol versus
Jim Harbaugh, And that's exactly what Harba did with Toby
gerhard He ran, he ran power until usc quit, literally quit,

(34:51):
and then he ran it in for to get fifty
five or something on a two point conversion, and Pete
Carroll's like, what's your deal? And then Hardball said what's
your And I called that game with the Great Barry Tompkins,
and you know, so, yes it did. It did give
me a little bit of a well, what's the name
of that new big U c l A Center? Bona?

(35:13):
Give me a little bit of a bona in the
show today? Get him on Twitter, play you get a bona. Patriss,

was like, was it at a TV or something like

(37:23):
a snowmobile? No, he was. It was run over by
an extremely large piece of snow removal equipment. Uh. It's
reportedly ways over fourteen thousand pounds according to local authorities
at wash Shoe County there in Nevada. Apparently on Tuesday,
the actor was trying to get what's called a piston

(37:43):
bully that was stuck and he attempted to try to
retrieve it the snow cap the snow cat they call it,
and get a moving and he ended up having the uh,
the machine roll over him. I was speaking with a
family member and so he is. He was fortunate to
be able to have someone there who then he was
called in for help. The airlifted him to safety. He

(38:07):
is in recovery now. Um, but it's a tragic accident
and he's he's in stable condition, but still critical at
