Speaker 4 (00:25):
Well, Fred, I was supposed to be in Cabo this morning,
going to Cabo, but I got sick yesterday. I mean
I was it's going to ride man. I had to chills,
I had one hundred and two fever. But I feel
like a new person today. I mean I had a
bad headache, but now I feel good. I may, I may,
I may still go. We may still go, uh maybe tomorrow, Wednesday.
(00:49):
It just depends. But I feel I feel I feel
fine now. But that's that's those were my plans. I'm
not saying I'm not gonna do if those were my plans.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Did you have the bad stomach too?
Speaker 4 (00:58):
I had a stomach too. Yeah, It's just it was
just it was just a stomach ache, I mean just
killing me. I mean, is that is that? That is
that some of the symptoms also the stomach deal.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Yeah, the stomach's bad. And I heard the headache and
little fill.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Yeah, I had to. I had to chills, really man,
I mean I had to. I had to uh the
temper up to eighty degrees.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
I had.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
I had long jumps on. You know, I am. I
don't like cold. I had a hoodie on and still
couldn't get warm. But now I feel, I feel, I
feel fine.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
You're lucky. One day, I'll tell you that, because some
people have it longer than that. I had a friends.
I had it three days. Yeah, and you can't shake it.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
I had it. I was.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Both Saturday and and and Sunday just trying to uh,
trying to stop coughing. But I had to chills as well.
But the stomach thing, I was throwing up Saturday and
didn't know what it was. I was just for whatever reason,
I drink water and was throwing up. What the hell
is this? I mean, it is going around and a
lot of people are getting it. It's got to be
just a version of the flu.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
No, sometimes I got these some birds, like the stomach
and throwing it. You know that's funny. You know I
can't remember ever throwing up. You know I tried to
you know, no, I mean you know you trying to
stick your finger down you throw, to throw up in
your half, in your never. I can never remember throw
any now he does a kid. Maybe I there's a kid,
but I cannot remember because I remember in college. Man,
(02:19):
I have to stick my fingers sticky finger on your throw.
I can't do that. I can't do it. I can't
make myself throw up. That's the hardest thing I can do. Uh.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
But yeah, yeah it was. It was weird.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
But I was with you for a while.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I didn't throw it for a long time.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
I used to say the same thing, but but yeah, Saturday,
I was. It got after me a little bit, and
then I was coughing all I went to the Rams
game last night and was coughing the whole way down there.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
I was like, Man, this is not gonna work. It's
not I'm supposed to be that. I have to call him,
tell him I can't make it. I mean, I just
couldn't get that.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Ye, he ain't much. He ain't miss much from the side.
It was a blowout.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
I thought I was leaving it twenty one nothing and
the blink of eye, I thought I was leaving.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
At the end of the first quarter. Eric Dickerson, Hey
you know I leave right quick. Yeah, I left out
of that quick. I didn't go to gain.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
I tell you something. You look at the Rams and
you just have to wonder are they as good as
they seem or is everybody else not that good? Because
our Rams are just making quick work of everybody that
are playing now well.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
I mean, and that's what a good football team does.
Fred you you you get on them right quick, and
you stay on them. You don't let up off them
like Philly did Dallas yesterday. You know, you jump on
them and you stay just like Kansas City came back
and won that game against the Coat. That's what good
teams do. I mean, you find a way to win.
And I gotta say the Rams, man.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
They have.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Look they got so much young talent. I mean, you
know young that's young, young talent.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
You know.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
It reminds me of right, it reminds me of when
I was in college and we just had fun playing. Well,
you got a good football team.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Man. It's just so you like, everybody's having fun, you know, like, man,
we loving this and that's what that's what they're look like.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
They just having a good time playing together as a
football team.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
That's so funny. You said that, because that was the thing.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
I went with my kids and my boys, and and
there was some other folks in the in the box
and uh, the one thing they kept saying. And uh
because Reggie Bush was in the box too, and not
the name drop, but Mookie was in there and we
were just talking. But it was like the Rams come
(04:29):
to the sideline. They all having fun. I'm a young
guy and I'm talking about more on the defensive side.
Those guys on the defensive side, them young cats are
playing with a lot of energy, a lot of fun,
Like it doesn't matter who gets the sack, who gets
the pressure, who gets to play. They were all cheering
for each other. It just feels like they are. They
are playing together more so than than I've seen him
(04:51):
in a long time. And then on top of that,
I think it's made Matthew Stafford rewind the clock because
he's playing like he twenty five right now. It is
a well oiled machine. And again, Devanta Adams, the addition
to him to this team, it is huge. The things
(05:11):
he can do. You know, as soon as you think
that he can't get open or he can't get away from.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
You, you know, he beats you.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
At the line so quick that he's so open, and
I'm like, man, this is between him and the core.
And then you know them running the football, keeping everybody
off card they they're gonna mess around. Have home field
advantage all through the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Man, that would be nice they had homefield advantage because
they look they look like they they look like, like
you said, a well oil machine right now.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
That's what I was going to say about home field advantage.
And you know, now you just have to keep an
eye on things and not get too crazy because you
got to go week by week by week. And they've
got a game lead now on the Eagles. But I
think now that means everything everything to these guys. If
they can hold on and have home field advantage, that
(06:00):
means there's not going to be a trip back east
to the cold weather when it really counts, And to me,
that means everything given what happened last year. So they're
in that position. They have put themselves in that position
right now because they do look like a machine. Stafford
three touchdown passes. It's remarkable what he's done. Twenty seven
(06:23):
touchdown passes without a pick, and according to the Eliah
Sports Bureau, the longest such streak by any active player
since play by play was first tracked in nineteen seventy
eight eight. And you know what, Eric Rodney, watching him,
it just seems so simple, so effortless. It just looks like,
(06:44):
as you guys would say, the game slows down. Watching
the Rams on offense now and seeing how they're operating,
it looks like the game is in slow motion for
those guys and they can do whatever they want.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Well, you know, I'm going to say it's a slow
motion trade will What happens is when you know what
you're doing. It's like I hear Tom Brady say this
when he was commentating. He says that when when we
broke the huddle and I saw I saw him almost
come to the line of scrimmage, I know what defense
they were running. I mean, when you're that kind of quarterback, right,
you know better than I know. You know, you've seen
it enough time you say, oh this is cover two,
(07:18):
Oh this is man the man. You know, this is nickel.
They coming there with a nickel. I mean, you already know.
And that makes it so much easier for your football team.
And I tell all of the views this, I mean,
you think about the quarterback position right then, Like I say,
you're a quarterback, you have to know everyone's position. If
I come to the quarterback and say, hey, who who
do I have on this here? What route am I running?
He has to know if the offensive tackle time and
say what are we doing? He has to tell him
(07:41):
the receiver everything. So when you have a quarterback that's
in that kind of command on a field, it makes
it It just makes it that much easier. And he's
been there doing it for so long, and he has
mcveigh's offense down. They have the offense down. You know,
each year gets easier and easier, and you see it
in the play.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
And there's so much about you know, defensive coordinators trying
to disguise, trying to do this. But when you got
it going and you're feeling that comfortable, you can redirect
so many things and know Eric's right. You know, when
somebody asks you, the running back, say okay, well what
are we doing. We're going to slide the protection? Yeah, yeah, yes,
let's go slide left, slide left, and then uh, you
know you got number two, you got you got Mike
(08:22):
and and being able to tell him that, being able
to tell the left tackle, Hey, come on, down, down,
down block on this one. You know, being able to
do all those things at a moment's notice is when
you really are comfortable, and then it just allows you
to go play.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
You play fast, you play fast, you know. And that's
the big thing.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
When a young quarterback comes into the league and you
see a guy that's, oh man, he's killing it.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
He's killing it in college. Why why is he not
happening in form in the NFL? You know, he's killing.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
It because the game is so much faster, number one,
and they're thinking too much. They're thinking about it. They're
not allowing themselves to just go play football. And when
you're thinking, it makes you a step slower, even two
steps slower, and you're not the same guy. So when
you get to that point where you're not thinking, it's
just second nature and you're just reacting, then the talent
(09:14):
really comes out. And right now, nobody's doing that better
than Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
All right, let's look at the schedule right now. So
I think they have what Carolina next, Then they've got Arizona,
They've got the Lions. Lions are struggling. They got the Seahawks,
that's a very big game. They have the Falcons and
they wrap it up with the Cardinals. I like their
schedule and Detroit is not the same team.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
It was no and I mean they played Detroit where
back there here, they're not there here. They come here,
they come here, they'll get them, they'll get them here.
You know. And you mentioned the home field at home
feels great. You know the home feels great.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Not so much for you know, you got to go
back east and there's cold and all that kind of stuff,
unless it's crazy cold and you know it's it's windy
and that that makes a big difference. But you saw
last year Rams had to beat Rams had the ball
going ahead touchdown with you know, an eighteen yard line,
so it wasn't like they couldn't play and they outplayed Philly.
You know, Sa Kuan had those two gigantic runs that
(10:13):
that really you know, open it up for a minute.
But the Rams out played Philly in that game. So
home field is really about being comfortable. You don't have
to travel, you don't have to get on the plane.
Your routine at home is staying. You got your home
fans that kind of help pump you up. So it
is important to a certain extent. But yeah, I think
(10:34):
that their schedule is favorable for them. You know what
I'm like, is going to be the matchup. And but
Detroit coming here with the way they're playing because they're
not the same team as they were a year ago.
The Rams, it's looking really good for them right now.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
But of the final six, of the final six, they're
on the road four Yeah, they're on the road four
times of the finals.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
One of these Cardinals, the Cardinals, that's up the streets,
that's up there.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
You know, they're Carolina, the Cardinals, Uh, with Seattle and Atlanta.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Yeah, yeah, Seattle is the one on the road. That's
the one. That's the one. You know.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
The big thing for a team like the Rams, they're
playing so good defensively and offensively, is not turn the
ball over. That's that's that's that's that's a that's a
that's a killer, turn the football over. And also injuries,
if you can keep everybody healthy, that's another big thing.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
You know.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
They got I think Rob Havenstein is out. Who's I
think it's the defensive back. I think I think he's one.
They won on defensive backs. Defense player defensive secondary played
very well last night they look so fast and quick
man like, dang, but you cannot turn the ball up.
That's what happened in Philip. Remember we're on that show,
on the show last year, and I kept telling I said,
if we don't, if they don't turn the ball over,
(11:46):
they can be Philadelphia. And what They turned it over twice.
Philly didn't turn over one time and we still lost
about six points. They had a chance to win the game.
If you don't turn the ball over, you win games.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
All right, Well, uh, the Rams are in a pretty
good spot. The Rams are in a pretty good spot.
You have to give them that. I'll tell you another
surprising team. I don't know if it's a surprise the
Rams are where they're at maybe a little bit. Maybe
because you didn't expect this, you know, I.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Did this, Yeah, I did. I expected to be I
expected him to be this good. You know why, because
of last year and all the young players we had.
I expected him to be this good. I mean I
really did. I mean here, I mean yeah, I mean
I expected him to be good. I didn't expect to
have like five and six wins right now. No, the
(12:34):
question wasn't whether or not to me at least. And
I think Eric said question wasn't not they're gonna be good,
but it was Matthew Stafford gonna be healthy because remember
the back, the back all off season and before training
camp he didn't practice, and you know we're all talking
about that, Oh he's gonna take one hit. It could
be it could be done, or it could be a
situation where you know it bothers them all season long.
(12:56):
Well we haven't. It was last time we talked about
his back. Well, I'm gonna tell you as much here.
So I talked to one of the guys on the trams.
I was with the training camp, and I said, man,
I said, how is mass bag? He's out all right? Man,
you know they don't want to play.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
He's all right.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
I'm like, okay, that makes more sense. He said, ye yeah.
I mean I'm saying a little something. But they said
he's fine, he's gonna play.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Make okay. He had to play with play. But he
you know, they don't need training camp like he did.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Right right, four old right? He t thirty something years.
You don't no training camp. I mean you know you
got you got to play into it a little bit.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Oh my bag?
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Man?
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Who I'm feeling good today though.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Yeah, but has he really this season because our concerned
before the season started one big hit.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
He really hasn't been hit that much this season, has
he whole lot? So he's been getting rid of the
ball too. He's been doing his job.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
You see the throw he made last night, side on him.
I think it was a side on throw. So man, yeah,
that's but accurate too, That's what I'm saying, accurate throw
side on the side. I told you Fred when I
when I when when he when he got he came here,
I was they had something that so far.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
I met him.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
I walked up to him, I said, he said, I
know you are, I said, and nice being I said,
I'm gonna tell you. I say, you have who we've
been waiting for you. You're the missing piece. I said,
we'll win a super Bowl now, and boom, we won
the Super Bowl that year. We had some Super Bowl
teams we did. We played in New England. We had
a Super Bowl team with with Todd Gurley. We were
just missing one piece. And nothing against Jared Golf. I mean,
(14:31):
I think he's a I like him as a person,
but he was not the right fit for this football team.
And that's just the facts. I mean, he's doing great Detroit.
I think that's the place for him. You know, La
is different. You know, it's this a this is a
big market, and they're gonna criticize you and some people
and some people can't take that. But I just feel
like he's better in Detroit and that staff was the
(14:51):
right back of us.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Did you see who did the intro last night for
Sunday Night Football? Did you guys catch that at the beginning?
Who voiced the teacher?
Speaker 3 (14:59):
No?
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Was Clayton Kershaw?
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Oh? I did so, I did see, Yeah, I did see.
He was about him and Matt Stafford. Yeah, they went,
they both at the Halle. Matter of fact, funny you
say that, fred I was at the s MU game
on Saturday, and their old baseball coach came up to
me and showed me a picture of them together. You see,
say so I coached him in baseball, I coached both
of we wanted we want a state championship in baseball.
(15:23):
And he showed me a pitcher of both of them.
I'm like wow about both them. Teams went in Stafford
to catcher to Stford Clayton. Yeah, Stafford. Stafford was the catcher.
Staff is the center. It was the center on the
football team. Oh, I'm ting, I'm talking my baseball. I'm
telling my baseball.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Yeah, I know they both played both and Clayton Kirshall
was his center, So I think guess freshman year in football,
which is interesting. But yeah, though, both those guys, and
I'm sure I don't know if I don't know if
he did or not, but you imagine both those guys
pitching for the high school team, you know, and.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Matt Matt Matt, Matt, Matt was a he was a catcher,
but you know, in high school play every position all
the time.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
So yeah, you're sure. I know at some point he
jumped on the mound. But man, interesting.
Speaker 1 (16:12):

Oh yeah, come on back, Come on back.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
It's the Ford NFL Spotlight, Rodney Pete, Fred Rogan and
the Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson. Let's go in as
we get ready for this holiday week. Be careful, be careful,
be careful out there. And if you happened to get
in an accident, you know that number to call. It's
a new one. It's an easier one. Fred.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Eight hundred three four five six seven, eight and nine.
That's the number. Eight hundred and three four five six
seven eight nine.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
All right.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
So Shador Sanders made his debut for the Brown yesterday
and I read the pay I watched the game and
I read the paper and I said, boy, he looked great. Well, no,
he was fine. I mean he yeah, did he throw
a couple of touchdown jay I threw a three yard
pass and got ran sixty nine yards. So let's just
be realistic. He was fine. He was fine. But the
Raiders were awful, just awful, and no one expected them
(17:53):
to be this bad. So after the game, chip Kelly
got it. They took chip Kelly out. That was the
big signing. We've got an offensive genius here that is
going to create an offense around Gino Smith and it's
going to make all the difference in the world. And
chip Kelly was fired. Does that surprise either one of.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
You, No, it doesn't surprise me. He he destroyed Philadelphia's
team about six years six seven years ago, you know,
getting rid of Shady McCoy. I think there was he
got he could like four or five guys. And I
saw something where where McCoy was talking about it where
chip Kelly told him. I guess he had just bought himself.
(18:34):
He got a new contract by himself, a new Rolls Royce,
and he told him he didn't want them to drive it.
They shouldn't drive the Rolls Royce to to the to
the game. They should go to the hotel, get on
the bus and ride along with everybody else.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
For a home game. So that makes no sense. I
mean drive another kind of car.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
I mean, you know you have you have certain coaches
that are controlled freeze, just like he was telling Genty
that he needs to be in a like lower like
you know, put his hands on his knee. This kid
has been doing that stand up position since he was
in college. A while of a sudden, Chip Kelly is
is he a running back? I can never see him
playing with his bets playing on running back. I mean
(19:11):
so most definitely, you know, man, I mean he's just
he just he was good in college with that couple
of years, but that was it for d the pros,
it just don't fit him, I mean. And and to me,
the Raiders look horrible on I mean, they got it,
they got a decent defense, A probably see a good defense,
but offensively they sucked the embarrassed there they're they're embarrassing.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Yeah, it's it doesn't resemble. It doesn't resemble a Pete
Carroll team, all be honest with you, you know. And
I think the Peak came in there and say, listen,
I'm the oldest coach in the league. I'm just kind
of I need to surround myself with the right guys.
I'm gonna bring in Chip, and Chip's gonna take over
the offense and he's just got I'm just gonna let
him do it and uh, we'll well, we'll put up
(20:00):
a lot of points and will be okay, And it's
worked in the opposite because they look I I and
I like Gino and his resurrection in Seattle. I thought
he came on and got himself a second chance and
played well. But he looks so uncomfortable. He looks like
a rookie right now playing quarterback. And he's been in
(20:22):
the league for ten years. He looks like a rookie.
And you know, a lot of that has to go
on Chip Kelly and what is going on, you know,
with the with the Raiders, and Eric's right, you know,
you know, at one point he was thought of as
a one of the best offensive minds out there, you know,
and great success at Oregon. And but just sometimes sometimes coaches,
(20:49):
head coaches in college don't make good head coaches in
the NFL because you're dealing with grown men now and
the personalities don't don't align, and you better be a
guy that can adjust to that, because if there comes
conflict with one of your stars, and that star is
a twenty million dollar guy, the star is not going,
(21:14):
you know, it's gonna be the coach. The coach is
going before the before the star. And so I think
that there's always since he's been in the league. I
think in different places, whether it be Philly or San
Francisco or uh, it's been. I think a personality conflict
that Chip has had with the players, and it's not resonated,
you know, because you think about it. College success at Oregon,
(21:35):
then he went to Ohio State, right one of national title.
Ohio State had them rolling, and then he gets the NFL.
It can't be that bad because their offense looks horrible, horrible, horrible.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Man.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
But the thing is, you said it, Rodney man. Look,
these are these are pro athletes to professional football players.
These are grown men. You can't talk to these men
like their kids. You know, you can control that. You
could could back then, you could really control the narrative
with the with a young player in college because back
then they had nowhere to go. They couldn't leave and
say I'm up transfer to him, you know, and then
the pros man first time, I say, man, give me
(22:11):
the hell out of here, getting me out of there.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
I don't want and they go the next question, why
do you want to leave? Because I can't play for him.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
I can't play for him. I can't play for him.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
I mean, look, you want to coach like you want
to coach that you respect, and a players coach, I mean,
and but most of the most of poler the coach
you respect because you know, you're know, you might not
like all the coaches, but it's like, you know what,
I don't like him, but as a coach, I respect
him because he does such a good job. I do
respect him. It was like Bill Belichick in New England.
A lot of players might didn't care for him, but
(22:39):
they respected him because of you know, he could win,
you know, and and winning, you know, winning cures everything.
You know if you win, and it makes a big difference.
But when you playing like the Raiders are playing, it's
almost I feel bad for the fans. For the Raider fans,
It's like because they have great fans, man, the Raiders have.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Great yeah, yeah, the best fans in sports.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
They got nothing right, the right, They got nothing to
be passionate about.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
The first thing they say every year, we're going to
the super Bowl when the season start.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Okay, he was gone.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
But those people start drinking every day at eight in
the morning, so there was no way that was gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
They're not going to the cir We all last It's Okay,
it's okay to believe. Believe, believe, fred believe.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
I'm just surprised. I thought Chim Kelly was an offensive
genius in college.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
But you say, it's never resonated in pro. It never,
it has never resonated in the pro. And the thing
I always say is, your buddies get you fired. You
know you hire, I'm gonna bring my my buddy over
here before you start you start losing, just like happening
at the Raiders. You know, buddy gonna get he's he's
gonna ge. He gonna get himself fired dinner. That's why
he had to get rid of ship Kelly. Do you
(23:44):
think Pete Carroll's next?
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Yeah, he might have another year. You might have anohing.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
What did I say for What did I say in
the season started? Fraid you probably remember I said, why
that old man?
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Well I I and I live, and I like Pete
I do.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
I like Pete Carrol. But I'm like, come on, man,
that the NFL is about the young, innovative coaches. You
know they can relate to the How can I and
I have no offense? How can a seventy year old
relate to a twenty year old I mean, that's just
being honest. It's like Belichick in college, he's seventy some
years old. He can't wait to nineteen to twenty old kids.
(24:23):
I mean, let's say you lit's see your daddy, your
real dad, well, your friend Paul.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
But Eric, he relates to his girlfriend just fine.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Easy, Freddy.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
That's a that's a that's a different kind of relationship. Rick, Yeah, yeah.
And Pete is you.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Know, I think he's in what mid seventies or late
seventies something like that, where seventy three, seventy three something
like that, Minci and he's he's he's one of the
youngest seventy three year olds out there because he's got
so much energy. But at some point, yeah, man, it's
it's just doesn't translate anymore. I don't think it's him.
But I think you're right, Eric, that he he hired
(24:59):
someone and he thought he can just turn over the
offense and turn over the reins, and I don't.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
That's a that's an emphasis that I don't have to
worry about because Chip has got it. And it's proven
that Chip, Chip don't got it, Ship don't got it,
Ship don't got it, and they's put him in a
buy and so you ask it, you know, is Pete safe?
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Is he gonna be around? Man? I I it's ugly,
right man.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
How they finished the season is gonna be interesting. But
I just when you look at this team, do you
think and feel like they're going in the right direction
or they could go in the right direction, or do
you cut bait right now and say let's just clean
house and let's start all over again.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Yeah, but here here's the thing there, they're they're playing
so poorly. I mean, yesterday was just it was hard
to watch, to be honest with you, it was really difficult.
And even when Gino was on target, the guys who
dropped the ball or I'd be wide open, he thrown
seven feet passed him. I mean it was just awful
to watch, painful to watch. And I don't know. All right,
(26:06):
let's say we're going to clean house. What does that
mean they just traded for Gino? If they get rid
of Carol, what does that mean Gino is not going
to play quarterback? Because we know the problem in the
past was they didn't have a quarterback, so now they
have one, but then he can't play, so by firing
Pete Carroll. What does that do? What what is that
going to accomplish?
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Really well, look look at look at look at uh,
what's the what's the what's the kid in Indianapolis, Daniel
what's his first name, Daniel, Daniel, Daniel Jones, Daniel Jones.
Look at Daniel Jones in New York. You thought he
was done. I mean, I mean he was horrible. I
mean it really was. I'm like, oh my god, he's
he's terrible. Well, they're thinking with this kid. Now he
(26:47):
goes to Indianapolis, He's got the right coach, the right
offensive coordinator, right quarterback coach. He looks like a totally
different player. I'm serious. He threw some passages. I mean,
they end up losing that game, but he threw some
passages yesday. I'm like, man, it was impressive to watch.
I mean, yeah, you have to have the right guys.
I mean, and a lot of these young kids. I
feel bad for some of these young kids that come
(27:08):
to the league. They get to get these bad coaches,
these bad offensive coordinators, no quarterback coach, and they want
you to be that guy that you were in college.
It doesn't work like that. It just doesn't. And then
people get frustrated. Fans get frustrated, and that's what happens.
It's the same thing with is Anthony Richards in Indianapolis
and they draft him in the first round and he
almost looked like a deer in headlights, and it was
(27:31):
it takes sometime, except for some players, it may take
them two years, three years to really find their footing.
Like okay, then in the right system, this system works
for me, I could understand it better.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
And because that game is is so so fast.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
What's the guy we drafted the Rams drafted from Georgia,
the quarterback what's his name, Bridney?
Speaker 2 (27:52):
You know I'm talking about.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that's all right, that's' benn. It's
just'sn't beenning.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
So I was.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
When I was a training in, I was talking to
one of the one of the guys out there, and uh,
I said, I said, now, I said, Stustan, he looks
hit like a different quarterback. He said, Eric, he said,
you know what happened with him? He said, he came in.
He said it was too fast for him. He said
it was too fast. He couldn't pick it up. But
he couldn't And thing that that really messed him up
(28:19):
was the movement of the defenses. But right now, you
know this when the defense, the big defense in college,
they get that they set and they set in their defense,
you know, four to three, you know by two, you know,
and pros they move in the whole time. And he
said he couldn't pick He couldn't pick it up. Andrew
woodwoll Andrew Woodworth told me that he said couldn't pick
it up at first. He said, now he's kind of
got a hold on it. That's I saw him in
(28:39):
the preseason. I'm like, wow, he looked like a different player,
and that that's what happens. And they rushed these kids
in expect him to be Matthew Stafford, you know, or
whoever you know they want you to be.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Joe Montana that it don't work like that.

Oh yeah, yeah, I'm sure you live to give. Fred.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Give me some money, Fred, don't push it. All right,
So I figure, here's the story. Listen to this, and
what would you do? What would you do?
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (31:44):
There's a woman, uh, and everybody felt she'd passed away.
She passed away. She was sixty five years old. It's
a terrible situation. Everybody is mourning, everybody's very upset. So
what they do They put her in a coffin and
they leave her in the coffin until it's time to
(32:06):
take the coffin to the uh, the crematory. They're going
to cremator her body. Okay, yeah, right right. So anyway,
they're driving the coffin there and somebody thinks they hear something.
Some thinks they hear something, not sure exactly what it is,
(32:27):
so they're getting a little closer. They take the coffin out,
they bring it in, and now they're firing this thing up.
I mean, this is going to be it. They're going
to creamator. But they hear this faint knock. It's very
faint and it's hard to hear it, but you think
you hear something. So the people in the room look
(32:48):
around and they try to figure out what is that.
Now understand that they have fired this thing up, So
now we are moments away, but they hear this knock knock, knock, knock,
knock knock. Finally somebody goes, you know what, it's odd,
but it sounds like it's coming from inside the coffin,
(33:09):
and this.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Is before they like put the temperature at eight thousand degrees.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Right, right, right, But I mean it's close, Rodney, it's close.
Now they're getting ready, but they hear this knock, knock, knock, knock,
knock knock. They opened the coffin and it's the woman.
She's knocking. She's alive. She's alive in the coffin and
(33:34):
she's knocking. They opened the coffin and they look at her. Now, granted,
she seemed a little tired. You think, yeah, you think
she seemed a little tired, just a little bit, right,
But she seemed a little tired, but she was alive.
(33:57):
They took her to the hospital where she's being treated. Now,
what do you think of that story?
Speaker 4 (34:04):
Well, I've heard that before, Fred, a couple of times.
In certain countries. You know, they don't cremate. I mean,
they don't embalmb people, you know they have I just
I was just looking it up. It's a couple of
these where people have been actually buried alive. You know,
they were putting dirt on them there and I heard
them knocking on the conference. I'm not I'm not shocked
by the sad thing is is think about how many
people have acted been burned or buried alive like that.
(34:28):
And see, that is what I won't forget When I
was a kid, when I was thinking about dying. You know,
I'm not afraid of death. Now think about dying. I'm like, man,
it's gonna be hot in that in that casket. I mean,
it's gonna be hot, dark. I mean, I mean, you
didn't think about your you know, I ain't know about
your spirit and all that kind of stuff. But I
was afraid. I'm like, oh my god, I want to
die because I don't be in that dog box. But yeah,
I mean that, look it up. This happens quite often.
(34:50):
Fred looking it up.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
No, go ahead, and I'm listening.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
Yeah, I'm just saying that it happens quite often. I mean,
it's sad. It's thank God that the woman know what what?
Speaker 2 (35:00):
What? What country? What I tell you?
Speaker 4 (35:02):
I told you mostly other countries. You do youah, most
other countries. Yeah, because they don't. Lot of they don't
embomb them. A lot of they don't.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
They do not embomb them. So that's why. And you know,
depending on yeah, where you are.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
Some some places they they want to bury the body, right,
away and right away as possible, and then some of
them they want to wait. They wait for a period
of time for morning and all that kind of stuff.
So interesting. Yeah, but man, how do you not check
those double check the vitals before, don't you think?
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (35:36):
But but but what they have something called a something
because the dead man is something that you seem like
you really dead. And if you have you might have
a real faint faint post, faint post that they can't
detect almost so, I mean, it could happen, but.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
If you have a faint poles, shouldn't somehow some way
they be able to detect that.
Speaker 4 (35:58):
If a doctor maybe know, if they findly have a doctor.
You know, he said, this is in Thailand. I mean Thailand,
not Texas.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
Knowland Eric is a sophisticated country. And I'm just saying, okay,
but we think that you know, No, I don't, No,
I don't.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
But hey, but okay, I bet it wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (36:20):
It probably went in the main seats, probably in the
in the in the country somewhere.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
Yeah, well said, was this in bankok or just in
it's part in the country, the countryside where the hospital
in Bangkok?
Speaker 4 (36:33):
Wait? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, the hospital in Bangkok.
What they brought her to the hospital in Bangkok. Yeah,
they brought her after they found that she was alive.
I bet she wouldn't take she wouldn't. It didn't happen
in Bangkok.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
Oh, that's fair. It was three hundred miles from the hospital.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
Bam, there you go. That's what I'm talking about. In
the woods. It was in the Yeah, in the village,
right in the village, right in the village. I don't
know what a small towns from Bangkok.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
That and one night in Bangkok will make a hard
man humble. Just keep that in mind that the song. Yeah,
but uh, that is terrifying that you could be buried
alive in some countries.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
That is that's that is that was.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
That wasn't a purpose red well no, but I mean
Eric's pointing out that this happens more than you think.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
It happened than you think, right, it really does. Look
it up. It happens quite a bit. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (37:24):
Yeah, So I'm like, I would be that that would
just be like I've had a gun and that she
killed myself.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
Ain't Patty is Uh, he's passed. Ain't Patty passed?
Speaker 3 (37:35):
And we're gonna bury her and we're gonna take her
and get her cremated and little little boom. So they
took her to Bangkok to have her cremated.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
Created. No, they take the bank. They have a creama
take a bank to the hospital.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Yeah, they took her a bankock to the hospital, tried
to cremate her. Yeah, in the village, right in the
villa they tried to create.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Yeah, right right, exactly right.
Speaker 4 (37:59):
It's like it's like you hear about these people in
some of these villages that's in Thailand, the web and
then they go out like to get water, and all
of a sudden they get eaten by anaconda.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
What are you talking about? What you mean when my
time is coming from it? I want all right, somebody
goes off from the village, I get some water and
they get eaten.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
You've seen some of these anaconda? Have you seen the friend?
That's the truth. I'm not making this up. Yeah, I'm
not making this is not made up. This is this
is this is how some of these anac like twenty
five foot long.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
Yes, this is like the faces of death.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Oh remember that?
Speaker 1 (38:36):
Yeah, I hated that. Oh God, when the guy fell
to the snake pit, yeah, remember that, and I hated that.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
That was before they showed any of that stuff that show. Boy.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
Yeah, yeah, I don't like that one.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
Bet.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Yeah, Eric, I don't need to see a picture of
a man.
Speaker 4 (38:55):
I can send it to you. I mean, I got
it right, the picture, Okay, okay, all right, then listen.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
You don't you should do You should post that with
your Sunday morning prayer that you you send on Twitter
every Sunday. I should say your moment of reflection and
then a man getting eaten by an Anta contact.
Speaker 4 (39:09):
Oh yeah, can I please do that? That that that'll
go wrong with real will prayer? This this will happen
to all you sinners.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
That would be great. On one other note, this is
gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
This is this is your fate right here.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
Oh my god. The Ford NFL Spotlight is presented by Ford.
Speaker 2 (39:35):

very disturbing and it involves one of the three people
