Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
They have an injury problem with Lamar Jackson? Or do
they have an injury problem with Lamar Jackson? Guys, let's
get right into this because Monday or sorry, midway through
the third quarter he gets my Kansas City chiefs Lamar
Jackson goes down with a hamstring injury. We all saw it.
The hint not so bad. He actually got up, jogged

(00:23):
off the field with little to no limp that I noticed.
Did you guys notice a limp? Because I sure the
hell did not see a limp. Did it look like
a guy who couldn't move? Did it look like a
guy who was getting ready to come out the very
next season or the very next series? And then and
then then what happened? He never came back in, spent
the rest of the game on the sideline with what
the towel wrapped around his hamstring, ice towel, heats owl,

(00:46):
it was some type of towel. Did it look very concerning? Right?
So the question that I want to ask you guys
this right now, did Lamar Jackson quit on his team?
Because let's look at the facts. At the time, when
Lamar Jackson left the game, the Baltimore Ravens guys were
still technically in the game. Yes they were down, but

(01:07):
it wasn't over one big play, one big score from
Lamar Jackson or the Baltimore Ravens. It could flip that
whole entire game. Yes, it was a two score game,
had plenty of time left on the clock. And this
just isn't any quarterback. Yes, I dog Lamar Jackson, but
at the end of the day, he is a very
elite athlete on the field. He's a two time MVP,

(01:28):
the franchise player, and a guy who's making forty two
million dollars this season. If anybody is expected to fight
through and give their team a chance, it is him. Now,
I get it. Ham Strings can be tricky. You don't
want a worse risk long term damage. But let's be real, heal.
You are at one and two or sorry, one in

(01:48):
three right now on the season. Your season is literally
teetering one way or the other. If you if you
go one and four, one and three chance and you
making the playoffs, it's very, very unreal. He jogged off
the field. There was no limp, no collapse, no medical card.
We've seen Lamar Jackson play through worse. Instead of strapping

(02:10):
up his helmet back on, he wrapped up and shout
it down. Guys, put yourself in the Ravens locker room
right now. Justin Hill ripped off a seventy seventy one
yard run in Garbs time. Fighting to keep the team
from being embarrassed better is like ro Con Smith and
Humphreys played through injuries as well. Yes they didn't get
shut down towards the end, but they're playing through their injuries.

(02:32):
Guys are battling, and the face of the franchise he's
standing on there on the sidelines, actually sitting on the sidelines,
healthy enough to jog off the field, but not willing
to go back in and fight. That doesn't scream, That
doesn't send a message to the fans, to the players,
to his coaches. It seems like I don't want to

(02:54):
play because I'm tired of getting embarrassed. So, guys, let's
not sugarcoat this whatsoever. I think Lamar Jackson quit on
his team. The optics told the story. He could have
gone back in, he chose not to. And when your
team is baddling. The runner up of the Sioux Super
Bowls arguably one of the top teams in the AFC

(03:16):
that's not leadership, that's simply quitting. It's quitting. But what
do you guys think? Do you think Lamar Jackson put
himself above his team or do you believe it was
really the right call shutting it down? Comment down below.
I want to hear your row takes on this one.
Do not forget to hit the subscribe, but hit the like.
Go and remember we're live Monday through Thursday, nine pm

(03:38):
East Coast time right here at YouTube dot com for
a list man out. Now this is live. They don't
have to show jo jump in and comments and let
your voice be heard. Now, let's get into the comments
and discuss your thoughts. Alpha Rob says, it's very very simple, Buck.
He was getting embarrassed and did not want to play anymore.

(03:59):
Alpha Rob, you nailed it on the head when I
posted on our Facebook page, on our Twitter or on
our X I'm sorry that Lamar Jackson is injured and
will not be coming back in And I put air
quotes quotation marks around injured because I did not see him.

(04:19):
Like when you injure a hamstring, you instantly go and
like kind of reach for it right when you when
you get hurt, when you get hurt. You reach for
us to me, like you reach for your shoulder, you
reach for your hamstring, you reach for your head, like
that's just your natural reaction. I didn't see nothing from

(04:39):
from that from Lamar Jackson when he on that last
on that last play. Now, I guess we could roll
back five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten plays prior to
see if something happened. But that last plays like final,
just like no, I'm done. You didn't see any limp,
You didn't see rapes reached for like any for like anything,
and truth be trote Alpha Rob. I think you're right.

(05:00):
I just think he was tired of getting embarrassed. When
you're now one in three, you've already been sacked fifteen
times so far this season, and the whole last team
you got sacked twenty twenty three times. It's embarrassing. It sucks.
And I don't know if Lamar Jackson is really that raw,
raw leadership type of guy, because we see him shut

(05:24):
down in big times anyways, look at the playoffs. But
old Members says, no, he did not quit on his team.
He did not quit on his team. Old man River,
you are a old head. You've seen the fifties you've
seen the sixties, you've seen a little bit of the seventies,
you remember none of the eighties. But why do you

(05:48):
think he would not quit on his team? What history
shows you or either way that shows you that he
does not quit on his team, Because if you remember
a couple of years ago, was it twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen.
Maybe I'm not for sure. He hurt his ankle. They said, oh,

(06:08):
he'll be out for about three weeks. Right, Ravens were
well out of the playoff race. Insert snoopuntley right snow
puntley throw to come out and ball out. But Lamar
Jackson could have come, could have come back and led
that team to the places when he's like, ah, no,
I'm good, I'm good, just saying. And Alfaov says, most

(06:33):
guys who hurt their hands always touch it walking off
the field. Exactly. Anytime you get hurt, you you will
reach first said injured location, arms, shoulder, hamstrings, ankles, whatever, Right,
that's just your natural instinct. And Mike says, Lamar Lamar

(06:55):
should call his mama for some of his contract money
to wipe those tears. As you guys know, Lamar Jackson
mom is his agent. If I'm not for if I'm
not mistaken, or at least some type of financial advisor
type of person much like my wife gives a little
bit of allowance every week, do what you gotta do.

(07:20):
Alf Rob says, in Jackson case, he isn't the real MVP.
Josh Allen knew he wouldn't come back, So Alpha Rob
is saying, hey, Lamar jacks would have never won those MVPs.
Josh outs him, baby, not wrong. Old Man Rivers says,
the Ravens are the one that pulled out Lamar Jackson.

(07:42):
They're protecting their investment. He says, it's a business at
the end of the day. As it is a business
at the end at the at the end of the day,
you want your investments to do well, meaning that two
hundred end dollar contact or whatever he has something ridiculous right.

(08:03):
But at the same time, Old Man River, when your
business is successful aka winning football games, when you're when
your business is going deep into January, aka winning playoff games,
when your business is all built around one guy. That guys,
let's just be honest. This Week four game made the

(08:27):
canc Chiefs. This Week four game probably broke the Baltimore Ravens.
They needed him in there to go get a chance
to win the game. Now, I'm not saying they would
have won the game. The canc She's defense was playing
very very well. The offense was playing even better. But
you get a little bit of sparked to end the game,

(08:48):
just just a little bit of momentum. You know, maybe
Lamar Jackson's in there and helps him score that touchdown
to give them the twenty points. Maybe maybe he scampers
in and maybe twenty seven to thirty just gets it closer. Right,
That a little bit as far could have carried a
lot over into Houston, Texans and then into the easier

(09:09):
part of their schedule. But you know they're like, no, no, no, no.
Melon Mike says, hmmm, did it teach Mitchell toughness at Louisville?
Lamar is soft as bucks, plush homes the hall he
sleeps with. First of all, it is a Chris Jones
plush doll. We call him mister plushy. And uh no,

(09:30):
they do not teach you mental toughness in college, because
when you get a little bit hard on, I'm gonna
go transfer. I'm gonna go transfer, is what it is will.
Will Olson says, but I want the Chiefs to lose
to the lines in week six. I like the Chiefs
when they're the underdogs and not the dominant favorites. Well,

(09:51):
I agree with you. We talked about the cancy and
cheese here in a couple segments here, so stay tuned
for that melon. Mike says. Lamar stood on business once
in his career. He did, however, set out for that
that business that bid in it. Yeah, he did hold

(10:11):
out or was it was it? Was it a hold
in or a holdout? I can't remember either way. He said,
I'm not playing until I get paid. Babby, guess what.
Ravens tried to hold out? They had, They tried to.
They by golly, they tried to. But you know what,
it never worked out in the end, never worked out.
But guys, you know what, it is working out right now.
