If anything happens wrong, he's screwed, Brady.

Speaker 7 (03:58):
Have you ever seen a tornado in the Midwest.

Speaker 10 (04:01):
I've seen like funnel clouds.

Speaker 9 (04:03):
I've never actually seen like a tornado, but I've seen
damage from them.

Speaker 10 (04:07):
It's scary.

Speaker 6 (04:09):
Man.

Speaker 10 (04:09):
You don't want that.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
You're quite a weird soul, bro.

Speaker 6 (04:12):
Yeah, some of the things you say, it's like, I
just wonder about you.

Speaker 10 (04:17):
I didn't say.

Speaker 7 (04:18):
I didn't first of all.

Speaker 6 (04:21):
Some of the things you say are so outlandish, bro,
and your mind, your mind is just screwed up.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
A little bit man, that screwed up. I don't know. Man.

Speaker 6 (04:31):
By the way, we wish people could just hear the
things you say sometimes.

Speaker 4 (04:34):
Man, we did have some some double barrel action, some
double barrel action in the NFL last night on Monday
Night football. Congratulations to the Atlanta Falcons. Congratulations to the
Chicago Bear. You wanted to say Chicago second, the second Well,
it's the second game. It was the main event, you know,
the main event. Yeah, I mean Joe Bucking Troy Igman
were on the call.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Main event.

Speaker 4 (04:55):
Apologies to the other broadcasting crew, but that was the
that was the main event of last night. So congratulations
to all involved. And by the way, what is apparently
speaking of congratulations, we were talking about the Colts who
got to win over the Arizona Cardinals in a game
that was probably a lot closer than a lot of

(05:15):
a lot of people thought it was going to be
this past Sunday, And now the Colts look like are
the Arizona Cardinals look like they're going to have to
go with Jacoby Brissett? Is this another week They're gonna
roll with Jacoby Brissett because Kyler Murray's got the They
say it's Liz frank Ish, not quite a Liz frank
but something along those lines that he's.

Speaker 10 (05:33):
Dealing with what does that mean.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
I don't know.

Speaker 10 (05:35):
It either is or it isn't.

Speaker 9 (05:37):
It's like it's it's like Jones fracture esco is it.

Speaker 10 (05:40):
I mean, I just I don't know.

Speaker 9 (05:42):
Anyway, Yeah, it looks like Jacoby Brissett, which I'll be
honest with you, just going back over that tape one observation,
and this is something that I think, you know, LeVar
would probably maybe cause I don't know, you know, when
you have a taller quarterback that can see, you know,
you could just incorporate more of the middle of the
field and in particularly in the passing game.

Speaker 10 (06:02):
And I feel like there was a little bit more
of that where they're utilizing.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Uh oh, well.

Speaker 10 (06:13):
Two in comparison to Kyler. You know.

Speaker 9 (06:17):
So a couple couple interesting observations are just of the
difference between the two playing quarterback in that system.

Speaker 10 (06:25):
We'll see if it continues. You could just be a
one game sample size.

Speaker 6 (06:28):
Yeah, I do tend to you look at what Jacobe
brought to the table, and it's like, uh, you know,
they they they look to have done some some different things.
But you know, I don't know. I I'm just I'm
over at the Arizona Cardinals.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
I gave them, I gave them was your team.

Speaker 6 (06:51):
I gave them my trust, I gave them my my
choice to be the team out of the West. They
have have underperformed. We don't know what Marvin Harrison junior,
you know, or Marvin Harrison what is it?

Speaker 2 (07:05):
The third? Which one is it? I'm all junior? All right?
J Yeah? Like what did he get a concussion? Did
he not? Is he going to play?

Speaker 6 (07:14):
You know? Out There's just a lot going on with
this Cardinals team. And I'm just I'm out. I'm out
on the Cardinals. Yeah, yeah, I'm out on them. So,
and I'm still not convinced of the Colts. I will
say that I'm not truly convinced. However, they are slowly
turning me into a believer. I am slowly changing my

(07:37):
opinions and my thoughts positively in the positive category with
Pittsburgh and the Colts.

Speaker 4 (07:45):
So can I read some interesting quotes speaking of the Cardinals.
So Jonathan Gannon obviously got fined one hundred thousand dollars
by the team for his outbursts with a Mario de
Mercado dropping the ball before the goal line. Diana Rossini
reported this over the weekend. Quote it was this is

(08:07):
from one NFC head coach. Quote, it was a meltdown.
He's a first time head coach, felt helpless. I don't
think they needed to find him. You deal with that internally.
A rival executive said, quote, the owner cut his balls
off in front of his entire team. You can't push
a player like that. That's garbage, said one AFC assistant.

(08:27):
And then somebody else also pointed out if you were
going to find him one hundred thousand dollars, like, why
didn't you just fire him? Like basically, if that's the
approach you take with this guy in front of the team,
then his days are probably numbered based on that. I
couldn't understand one hundred thousand dollars fine for pushing.

Speaker 9 (08:47):
I really didn't understand if you're trying to make a
point for the finding or against the fine.

Speaker 10 (08:51):
I feel like there was a little bit back and
forth there.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
Well, I don't understand why would the owner come out
and find him an let it go public that yeah,
we're not going to accept this, and he got popped
one hundred thousand dollars almost like the owner basically picked
a side there publicly and he sided with the player
who made a mistake over his coach.

Speaker 9 (09:13):
I mean, honestly, because public perception and I feel like
they just feel like they needed to do something for
the sake of doing something.

Speaker 6 (09:19):
That's what I think it was. I don't think it
was siding with the player. I just think that thousand
dollars is the public perception of it.

Speaker 10 (09:26):
I'm a cube million.

Speaker 7 (09:28):
You can't have that.

Speaker 4 (09:30):
You can't have the conversation behind the scenes and then say, hey,
we we dealt with it internally.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
I think that's how it should have happened.

Speaker 10 (09:36):
Yeah, because there's there's someone here.

Speaker 9 (09:38):
Let me put it this way, there's someone in the
PR department who is probably being like, oh man, the
Twitter reaction, the social media reaction, just all these mentions,
even though half of our bots and they're like, what
could we do to comment, Well, let's do something unprecedented.
Let's find him one hundred thousand dollars. You know he
can afford. It sends a message, you know, squashes this

(10:01):
and it goes away. Right Like until you brought this up,
or Diana Rassini in this report, it really was a
non conversation.

Speaker 10 (10:07):
Once the final was done, it was done, it was over.
Everyone moved on.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
You know, that was the end of it.

Speaker 9 (10:14):
But well, I'm just saying like it, like it comes
from someone who thinks they're a genius in the pier department,
who will eventually send a stupid tweet that they'll end
up deleting and taking back off and then getting fired
for it's usually one.

Speaker 10 (10:27):
Of those people.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
Their season has packed up and moved on too. Damn.

Speaker 9 (10:32):
No, don't you start that. You stay strong, You stay strong,
VARs stand on it ten toes down.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
Will not on that hill?

Speaker 9 (10:42):
No, okay, what about the New England Patriots hill? Are
you off that hill that they're not going to be
the second best or better team?

Speaker 2 (10:48):
I'm off that hill too.

Speaker 10 (10:50):
Damn. This whole Penn State thing really jacked you up.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Huh. I'm not jacked up by I'm but you're now
like changing all your your like yeah feelings, Yeah I am.

Speaker 6 (11:06):
I told you all that though I have I have
this thing that that I live with called chronic change
my opinions syndrome, And when it's time to change them,
I change them. So I don't have a problem changing
my opinions from time to time, Like I don't you know,
I could be locked in like it's seemingly like a

(11:28):
bold deal when when my predictions hit, but it's really not.
You know, every once in a while, your your predictions hit,
and I'm going to make it seem like I make
my predictions hit all the time, but they really don't.
They really don't. And I have no problem changing what
I was feeling and what I was thinking to what
is really happening in the actual here now.

Speaker 10 (11:49):
Well, one thing we can all agree upon. What can
we agree on is the ego should have flipping plays sake,
come on, Barkley so he could have gotten MVP last year.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
Agreed, We can agree on that. That what he was
going for right there.

Speaker 10 (12:02):
Me, you're right, it's an agreeable thing. I don't agree
on that.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
I mean, he will never come that close ever again.
Hell no. And look at what they did. They made
that man sit out and missed that record. That's crazy.

Speaker 6 (12:13):
And they're probably gonna win the Super Bowl anyway. They're
not going to win the super Bowl this year. By
the way, are they going to play in the Super
Bowl this year?

Speaker 10 (12:23):
I'm not writing that team often.

Speaker 6 (12:24):
I'm not writing amav either, But I don't know that
they don't look like a super Bowl team right now.

Speaker 9 (12:30):
Jonah brought up the Bucks and how injured they were
the Eagles that could happen to them, and they're like, oh,
they're still a first round guy who just stepped in.
Like they just they've got like stacked, you know, positions
all across that scene.

Speaker 6 (12:42):
They just don't seem like they're as good a team
when Jalen Carter is not in the lineup though, Like
they I'm.

Speaker 9 (12:50):
More concerned about the passing game, Like that's that's where
there seems to be a disconnect. I don't know if
it's Petulo calling the plays or you know, Jalen, which
you know, again.

Speaker 10 (13:01):
We'll see it could rectify itself easily.

Speaker 7 (13:03):
But do you guys want to hear a fun fact.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
Let's hear your fun fat So you remember.

Speaker 4 (13:09):
Back in the day, there used to be this narrative,
this discussion that the Seahawks were great at home, but
on the road they struggled. It was kind of like
Tampa Bay playing in the elements, like that was always
the big story in them. The Seattle Seahawks have won
nine straight road games. Damn Yeah, they go on the
road and haven't lost.

Speaker 6 (13:29):
Great wrestling in a What Warriors? Oh yeah, the Legion
of Doom. They were in the WWE.

Speaker 4 (13:37):
But nine straight games they've won on them animal animals,
So impressive. Loaurnidis his dad, No, Jonas, we know.

Speaker 10 (13:48):
That that's an impressive staff though, Jonnas, thank you for
sharing that.

Speaker 4 (13:51):
No, I just think I think it's interesting that Seattle
kind of flies under the radar as another team, they
are flying under the radar. I refuse to believe in
them too, I did to. I said, I just refuse.
I thought they were going to finish dead last.

Speaker 6 (14:05):
I don't know where they're going to finish, but I
refuse to believe in them right now. Sorry, I can't
give my I can't give my trust to them.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
I just won't. Why not, I just can't. I don't know.
Maybe they're not spicy enough. I just don't. I don't know.

Speaker 6 (14:23):
How could they get spad Put some spice, some hot
sauce on them. I mean, put some Louisiana. They could
get real spicy. Oh yeah, do you want them to
get spicy? You know, I already did a read at
the top of the show, so I'm gonna give a
live my guy.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
Okay, it's all good. You know I did it right.

Speaker 6 (14:44):
When we came into the segment, we were backed up,
my guys. Well, I appreciate it, my guy.

Speaker 4 (14:50):
Let me tell you something, guy at the Home Depot,
Makita tools are built for the pros who show up
early with tools built the last job after job, year
after year. When the job calls for the best calling
Makita available at the home Depot.

Speaker 7 (15:02):
How pros get more done?

Speaker 2 (15:04):
All right?

Speaker 4 (15:04):
So coming up next here on two Pros and a
cup of Joe, we are going to catch up with
our guy, the one and only Dean Blandino, and that'll
be yours right here at FSR.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
My guys wanted it, so I'm gonna give it to
my guys. All right.

Speaker 6 (15:17):
Yeah, it's Louisiana Hot Sauce. And you know what, the
food tastes better, The drinks are colder and the hot
sauce is hotter. Well that is if you got that Louisiana,
that original Louisiana hot sauce, Because nothing brings the heat
like your team getting that dub, and nothing brings the
flavor like that bold, hand crafty kick straight out of Louisiana.

(15:42):
That's right, Peppery peppers, vinegar and salt. Seems simple, but
our Louisiana flavor masters have been blending that for over
almost one hundred years. It'll turn every good meal into
a great meal, and every great meal into a party.
And on your wait, you know how that goes, Wings, nachos, burgers,

(16:03):
It don't matter. Just hit it with some of that
original Louisiana Hot sauce. After a win, suddenly it's unbeatable,
like a touchdown dance on your tongue. And hey, if
your team didn't pull off the victory, don't matter. Pour
some on anyway. It'll help ease the pain. But wow,
it'll make your taste taste real good. It ain't gonna ease.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
Up on that heat.

Speaker 6 (16:27):
No, no, no, no, It's gonna be good. Yes, indeed,
and that's why we call it the Victory Formation. For
your taste buzz the original Louisiana Hot Sauce. That's Louisiana
Hot by you too.

We're waiting his appearances arrival, all right, So Dean Blandino
will be joining us here coming up, coming up, here shortly,
so hopefully we are efforting Dean Blandino.

Speaker 7 (18:05):
He's a very busy guy.

Speaker 4 (18:06):
There's a lot to discuss, a lot to look back
on in the world of football and beyond. So one
thing I did want to know, all you want to know,
whose idea was it to change five and fifteen yard
face masks straight up fifteen yards every time?

Speaker 10 (18:22):
Yeah? Whose idea?

Speaker 2 (18:23):
In jos, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (18:25):
It feels a little punitive, and it still happens every
single week. A guy barely grabs onto somebody's face mask,
gets by accident, they get popped fifteen yards. It just
seems like that's that's a bit much if you ask me.
All right, So with that said, let's welcome in Fox

(18:46):
NFL rules. We're gonna call him expert for the NFL
and for college football.

Speaker 6 (18:54):
When you hear the music means you could get late,
means you found out horse horse head, you're gonna go
and get late.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
It could be a problem.

Speaker 4 (19:03):
Yeah, one and only Dean Blandino is with us here
on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 8 (19:09):
Dean, good morning, Good morning guys.

Speaker 10 (19:14):
Oh, how how are we doing past?

Speaker 2 (19:16):
I mean, yeah, that good morning was real too, wasn't it.

Speaker 8 (19:20):
Yeah? I can't. I mean, I'm I'm usually like a
pretty jovial guy, but with that music, I just I
feel like I got to change it up.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
Yeah, you go into character.

Speaker 8 (19:28):
I like that.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
Yeah, good morning guys. Forget about it.

Speaker 7 (19:32):
Hey, Dean, I was thinking about this before you came on.

Speaker 4 (19:35):
A Mikey whose idea was it to change five and
fifteen yard face masks to fifteen yard face masks straight
across the board? And will they ever go back to
maybe a less punitive version like the five yard option,
because it feels like even a glancing tug of the
face mask or your finger just happens to slip up
there and they'll call it and it's a you know,
it's fifteen yards in a first down.

Speaker 8 (19:58):
Yeah, I mean that goes back. Oh, that's probably late nineties.
I think the issue at the time was yet the
five and the fifteen, and the officials were pretty much
defaulting to the five yard penalty, you know, they didn't
want to. They were going with the lesser of the
two evils, and so there was some pretty good face
mass that should have been fifteen that were ending up

(20:20):
with five yard penalties, and they felt like face masks
with a safety issue should be just a personal foul
fifteen yarder, and yeah it is. I understand the issue
now with some of them where it's just kind of
like maybe it's a graze and you certainly want the
officials to see the whole thing, and there's got to
be a grab and a twist to turn to pull

(20:41):
the book and the rulebook language. But that was kind
of the reasoning why because you were seeing some face
masks that were really pretty pretty good ones and then
they were only getting five yard penalties.

Speaker 10 (20:53):
Dean O, God, God, I was actually gonna go to
the college rounds.

Speaker 9 (20:57):
I mean one of the viral videos that went crazy
was Kirby Smart at Georgia.

Speaker 10 (21:05):
Yeah, yeah, making What I guess is that, I guess
you make a tee to clap. Now, maybe that's the
yes here.

Speaker 8 (21:14):
That whole thing got way and so here's what. Here's
what happened. Now, Kirby called time out. There's no question
he was signaling time out or he was trying to
give one of his assistant coaches a technical foul, whatever
it was, but he was he was he was calling
time out, and the officials stopped, you know, the officials

(21:34):
stopped the game. And then they talked about it. And
what Kirby was telling the officials, now, he wasn't saying
I was clapping. He was saying, if you watch the
safety comes up and the safety's clapping, which in college
you can't do on defense, that snapcount to clap. So
he was telling the officials, no, their guy was clapping.
That's that's a foul. And the officials, though, for whatever reason,

(21:57):
they gave him the time out fact which they shouldn't have.
He called time out. If you're going to call time
out to bitch about something, that's you still get the
time out. But he wasn't saying I was I was clapping.
He was saying that they were clapping to mimic our
snap count. So it was just kind of it got
but you know, look, I'm all about the memes. I'm
all about the you know.

Speaker 10 (22:16):
So it works for me, of course, Dean.

Speaker 6 (22:23):
I don't know if I don't know if it's just me,
but I feel like these receivers emotions, they're they're going
towards the line of scrimmage more than I've ever seen.
It's not as pronounced as Canadian League, but I have
seen it called.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
A few times how how are you? I mean, have
you noticed it? Am? I am?

Speaker 6 (22:45):
I just overreacting to it, maybe a little bit like
how is this you know, being looked at? Because it
does to me look like these receivers are going towards
the line of scrimmage when the ball is snapped.

Speaker 8 (22:59):
Yeah, I would, I would agree with you. I think, look,
and the NFL fouls are up, but you know, and
some of the pre snap stuff is up. But that's
one where we're not seeing as much. And we used
to call it shaving right like they're shaving towards the
line of scrimmage and you really you can't be going
forward at the snap. You have to be parallel or
going backwards. I think in general the last couple of

(23:20):
years they've probably been a little more liberal in terms
of letting that go. We've obviously seen some of the offenses,
like the Dolphins and some others doing some some some
more things in terms of motions and stuff like that.
But and does that gives the player an advantage when
you're moving, when you're you know, running and you're moving
towards the line of scrimmage, there's an advantage there. So

(23:43):
I think that I am seeing it as well. I
think it's something that you know, the officials have to
call when it's there, and I just think that in general,
they've been more lax in that area for whatever reason
where they don't want a lot of penalties. I'm not sure,
but that's something that they I would agree that we're seeing.
I'm seeing a lot of that too.

Speaker 4 (24:00):
Dean Blandino joining us here on Fox Sports Radio, Fox
NFL and College Football Rules Analyst. Get him on x
AT Dean Blandino, your fellow pison, Vic Fangio, a couple
of weeks ago, talked about the talked about the k ball,
the kicking ball procedures now and how they've changed that
guys have more time with the footballs. Is why you

(24:20):
know kickers are bombing these kicks like we've never seen before.

Speaker 7 (24:25):
What goes into that decision?

Speaker 4 (24:27):
Is it just about, hey, we've got to increase scoring,
give them the opportunity to doctor footballs. Because I can
remember years ago when Tom Brady was accused of doctoring
footballs and he got suspended four games.

Speaker 7 (24:38):
I think, so what's the difference here?

Speaker 8 (24:40):
Yeah, this goes back to night. I'll tell Tommy said,
what's up the this goes back to nineteen ninety nine,
when pre ninety nine the kickers, you know, they would
do all these things to the footballs, and it was
it was in some cases it was it was pretty obvious,
and officials there was no procedure in place, they weren't

(25:01):
really checking them. And then they brought this kball land
and it went right to the officials hotel and the
teams didn't get a chance to look at them. They
had a small window before the game where where two
people from the equipment from the equipment staff to come
in from each one from each team and work the
footballs and get them ready. And and that that was

(25:21):
the process for the last twenty something years. And this
was a couple of teams. This was Baltimore and I
just saw them. We had the game and with the
Ravens and the Rams Randy Brown, who's their kicking coach.
The Eagles were another team. There was a couple of
other teams that were pushing this that, look, we have
our other footballs that we use during the week for
our quarterbacks. Why can't our kickers have the footballs? The

(25:44):
league finally, the Competition Committee was okay with it. They
passed it and now what we're seeing is they get
they get sixty footballs before the season. Each team they
have to present three to the officials pregame. The officials
check them for pressure and any abnormalities, and then they
get to use them. And what we're seeing is more distance,
you know, because they do I don't know all the

(26:05):
things that they do, but you're just trying to You're
trying to kind of smooth out the football, get you know,
the dimples, whatever it may be, to get get it
a little more error dynamic. And we're seeing longer kicks.
And you know, Vic's the best. I love Vic, but
sometimes Vic's like the old man yelling at the clouds
with this. I mean, it's it is. I love Vic.

Speaker 9 (26:25):
I mean, look, the chicks dig the long ball, right,
and that's kind of what we got down kicking in
the NFL. I got to call out the Lions Chiefs
game for two reasons. What are the officials not like
having fun? I mean, the Jared Goff play was fun.
I know he gets called for a legal motion to
get set whatever.

Speaker 10 (26:44):
Just take us to the mechanics of that.

Speaker 9 (26:45):
But also, how is it possible the Chiefs don't have
a single penalty called on them.

Speaker 10 (26:52):
I mean, come on, like even you have to be
like all right, not even one, like.

Speaker 8 (26:56):
Like literally, I'm watching the game. Please have just have
one on it. Please. It's just because you know the internet,
they're going to go nuts if there's no there's no
nothing on the Chiefs but the golf play. And yes,
it's so why this rule is in place is this

(27:18):
It had nothing to do with this play, but this
play gets caught up in it, and it was we
had plays where the quarterback would go under center and
then and then start like toward the sideline and motioning,
whether it was like making a call, talking to the
receiver or even like going so far as walking towards
the sideline like he's going to call it time out,

(27:39):
and then they snap it and it's kind of like
they call it deceiving the defense whatever it is, and
it's unsports fan like conduct. Blah blah blah blah. So
they added this thing. We're saying, if you're under center,
which is a right, it's a unique position. It's a
special position. You're not on the line, you're not off
the line. If you go in motion, you have to
come to a complete stop, which which kind of eliminated

(28:00):
some of the gamesmanship that was going on. This wasn't that,
this was just a you know, a kind of a
cool play, but it's it is the role, and you know,
the officials have to discuss that it shouldn't have taken
that long. The flag should have came out right away.
You know, you're under center. If you take a position
less than the yard from the from the from the
center in your stationary you're under center. And then at

(28:23):
that point, if you go in motion, you got to
come to a complete stop versus shotgun where you can
be in motion at the snap, so those you're not
going forward. But like we were talking before, is this one.

Speaker 9 (28:33):
Though, where like the officials after a game like that
where there's not one single penalty called, they look at
each other and.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
That's not a good look.

Speaker 8 (28:41):
Jesus Joe, like you could have had one like come on,
give me, give me some now. The it's they don't
even know, like it's it's funny, like it's just weird
that it happens that way. But the officials, like they
don't keep track of there's seven on the Chiefs and
five on the Lions. I mean they after each time
there's a there's a flag, they throw a flag. They'll
they'll have a little penalty card that they write down

(29:03):
the information because they have to they have to fill
fill out a report after the game. But it's not
like they're they're checking that. It's just.

Speaker 7 (29:12):
There's not one side that's there's not a line down
the middle.

Speaker 4 (29:15):
One says Casey, one says Detroit, and they don't notice
that one's blank and the other's got a bunch of
marks on it.

Speaker 8 (29:21):
Yeah, they just I mean, it just lists it's his team,
and they lift it down and they're not really like
it's just I get it. Bleieve me, I get it.
It's it's it's but it's just dumb loss.

Speaker 7 (29:33):
It's clean, clean football, Dean.

Speaker 8 (29:34):
That's what it is, good clean football. That's right.

Speaker 6 (29:40):
I have a question, and and maybe it's because I'm
a defender, and obviously I feel like there's a conspiracy
theory connected to offense and referees. I just feel like
there's this mysterious thing that's connected. Is there like a
quota to make sure that there's calls that that you know,

(30:01):
skew things the way or or influence things the way
of the offensive side and and if so, is that
is is there like a checklist like, Okay, we got
to make sure that the offense is, you know, doing this.
We got to make sure that the offense is operating
on time. I mean there's the whole timing of games,
like the schedule and all that stuff. Games always seem

(30:25):
to generally get done on time. Every once in a
while that a few of them will run a little longer.
But I mean, is there like a chess checklist? Like
I don't want to do anything incriminating obviously in terms
of well I'm asking you, but I just always am curious,
like what what is it that the referees go into
the game and it's like, yep, this is what I'm

(30:46):
gonna have to call and I got to make sure
I'm calling this And is it? Is it really towards
the you know, making sure the offense is operating the
way they need to operate.

Speaker 8 (30:57):
Well, look from an perspective, no, the look they're just
they'll scout. They'll do they'll do advanced scout. They'll go
through the two teams they're gonna work. They'll look for tendencies,
different things they try to stay away from, like whether
it's an individual player to target that individual player. But
you'll know if this left tackle likes to you know,

(31:18):
likes to move early, or likes to get out and
especially in past protection, like you know, maybe maybe they
they they're lined up deep in the in the backfield.
They don't line up on the line of screaming, so
you'll know things like that. Look, the rules are slanted
toward the offense. That's just the way it is in
the league. The league does look at okay, what they want, points,

(31:40):
they want, passing they want because that's what people. You know,
the majority of NFL fans, you know, they like those games,
but you do need offensive and defensive balance. I agree
with you LeVar in terms of it's amazing how on
time these games. These NFL games are like you can
you can set your watch to like the the early games.

(32:01):
Every game is, you know, going to the two minute
warning right around the same time, and every game is
ending where you look at College and it's all over
the place. So you know, I think it's just well run.
I think they the rules, the timing rules in the
NFL are really I like them better than the college rules.
But there's no like agenda in terms of what what

(32:21):
we have to do. But the rules are slanted toward
the offense, and offensive production is important. The Competish Committee
sees that as an important part of in terms of
the health of the game. But look like and we
just you know, we just lost the iconic Diane Keaton
who played Michael Corleoni's wife in The Godfather, which you

(32:42):
asked him, is the Coleoni family legit? What was his answer?
He said, absolutely, that's my answer.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
Absolutely well done.

Speaker 6 (32:49):
I'm glad you compared to a Crown family. Though I
saw what you did. I saw what you did, all right,
I could dig it.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
All right. Well, Dean, where are you this week?

Speaker 6 (33:00):
Uh?

Speaker 8 (33:01):
We have Cowboys commanders in Dallas? Good one, I mean yeah,
both teams lost this week, right, yeah, both juice a
lot of energy to that one, exactly, America's game of
the week.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
Can't say Cowboys and Indians anymore, you know, can't can't
use that one.

Speaker 9 (33:19):
So can we acknowledge the fact too that you did
just drop the Uh I'll tell Tommy said that. I'll
tell Tommy said he is that where.

Speaker 10 (33:28):
We're at now?

Speaker 8 (33:29):
You know that you picked up you picked up on that, Yeah,
of course, But.

Speaker 10 (33:33):
Are you chummy enough. Now, if Tom where you feel
like you can, you can say that.

Speaker 9 (33:37):
And if if Tom actually heard this show, which he
would never would, but if he did, you know, he would.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
Be like, I mean, why would he knows?

Speaker 8 (33:46):
That's gonna be my goal to get him to listen.
I'm gonna know I'll get him.

Speaker 10 (33:51):
There's there's no shot in hell. There's no shot in hell.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
Why we hold significance in his life?

Speaker 8 (33:57):
I hear.

Speaker 9 (33:58):
What was interesting is he did say he thinks Michigan
season's over. By the way, he did already wave the
week out.

Speaker 8 (34:04):
He does think it's over. He does he goes here
because the only thing that matters is is Ohio State.
That's it.

Speaker 10 (34:09):
He's right, he thinks, he thinks the sea.

Speaker 9 (34:12):
I'm like, they contended he still went out, and they
would I think make it into the playoff probably, but
I don't know.

Speaker 10 (34:18):
Apparently doesn't think that.

Speaker 8 (34:21):
Yeah, well, I mean, who knows this college football's create?
I'm all in on Indiana?

Speaker 2 (34:26):
Are you really?

Speaker 8 (34:27):
Yeah? You like Signette and another taison? I mean, he
doesn't give two that. He's just the best.

Speaker 9 (34:34):
Now do you let me ask you this, would you
smoke a cigarette with Kurt Signetti as they call him sig.

Speaker 6 (34:38):
Would you be ripping with him? Would it be would
be cold outside? And would y'all be covering your mouths
while you're speaking to one?

Speaker 8 (34:47):
Exactly? Be right outside the hospital? Try pretending that we
were projecting brand, like.

Speaker 10 (34:54):

just felt natural. Cigarette would have been.

In the desart too, you know, y'all could have been
in La or in Vegas. You know, I mean, I'm

Smith did say.

Speaker 3 (39:01):
If I'm married and my wife is going to join

clearly you know you you don't belong with me.

Speaker 2 (39:09):
Would you worried about him? For you wouldn't?

Speaker 3 (39:13):
All right?

Speaker 11 (39:14):
So that is what Steven is.

Speaker 2 (39:15):
Remember that, and.

Speaker 14 (39:18):
Yes, this is what Serena William's husband said in response.

advice for me.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
I was hoping you were. I was hoping you're gonna
be here.

Speaker 3 (39:39):
But oh I'm not.

Speaker 10 (39:40):
Oh no, no, I am not qualified. Oh no, not me,
Damn my brother.

Speaker 8 (39:46):

I was gonna ask it because if you hadn't been
married before, right, I am married?

Speaker 2 (39:51):
No?

Speaker 15 (39:51):
No, okay, okay, because I give advice to them. Plenty
of founders who want to build billion dollar companies. And
the reason I do that is because I build billion
dollar Damn mic drop.

Speaker 10 (40:04):
By the way, you know what's worse than the mic drop.

Speaker 2 (40:06):
It was.

Speaker 10 (40:10):
At least, Mike hey, deeper than the deepest steven A, OK.

Speaker 2 (40:16):
You gotta go a little bit from the back.

Speaker 10 (40:18):
Que up top, Brady, Keep keep going, keep going, stephen.

Speaker 2 (40:24):
A, keep going, going going.

Speaker 6 (40:29):
If you it's saying, damn, I mean that was definitely

the softest responses ever.

Speaker 2 (40:41):
Hey, stephen A, if.

Speaker 6 (40:43):
You hear this, don't you ever don't you ever let
yourself be punk like that ever again in your entire life.

Speaker 10 (41:04):
Hold that one more time?

Speaker 2 (41:06):
Were one more time?

Speaker 6 (41:08):

Speaker 14 (41:17):
Serena and her husband have been married for nearly seven years,
so they look like they're going nice and strong.

Speaker 2 (41:21):
Good for that went way over Loraina's head. But that's
all right if you.

Speaker 10 (41:28):
Have anything else to talking about.

Speaker 6 (41:30):
Actually, all the way over, Lorraina, it might have went
over Quesa too. You wanted to move on when I
went up. I mean, her husband ain't the only one
that could do a mic drop in the scenario. Let's
let's be clear here, some of us ain't going back

(41:53):
pedal like Steve and Ay, we go towards the danger firington.

Speaker 2 (42:00):
Right hook.

Speaker 14 (42:02):
Oh goodness, all right, my next left over Jaguars Josh
Heines Allen's son Wesley.

Speaker 11 (42:11):
He is eight years old.

Speaker 14 (42:12):
Cute little kid was the honorary captain for the game
to celebrate over the weekend, he survived his battle with leukemia.

Speaker 11 (42:19):
So let's give him a round.

Speaker 6 (42:20):
Of a.

Speaker 8 (42:23):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (42:24):
Well.

Speaker 14 (42:24):
His dad, Josh Hines, actually took this victory as a
moment to turn it into hope for other families who
are also dealing with this. He introduced a new foundation
for One for All Hope Foundation. Every sack the Jaguars
make this season, it means four hundred and ten dollars
will be donated monthly to cancer organizations.

Speaker 10 (42:42):
That's awesome.

Speaker 2 (42:43):
Yeah it's a good cause. Alrighty, Yeah?

Speaker 10 (42:47):
Good?

Speaker 11 (42:48):
Isn't that sweet?

Speaker 2 (42:48):
I love that.

Speaker 10 (42:49):
It's a great story. You got anything else?

Speaker 2 (42:51):
Yeah? No, pretty much.

Speaker 7 (42:53):
That's it.

Speaker 11 (42:53):
And then we have a big storm brewing outside.

Speaker 10 (42:57):

Speaker 10 (43:06):
Am I missing something?

Speaker 9 (43:08):
Why is it what it rains in southern California, You
guys are incapable of driving. It rains across the rest
of the country. In fact, like the tropical rain in
South Florida is way worse than what you guys experienced.

Speaker 14 (43:19):
The problem is we see so little rain that when
it does rain for the first time in a few months,
there's oil all over the cement and so people are
driving and then they skid and they.

Speaker 6 (43:28):
Are hydro plant like three times. But my parents like, yeah,
