 What's up everybody on sports and like conduct. We're back. We were on a trip. We left you guys for a little bit We're here and um Lot of things have happened since we've been on a boat in the middle of the ocean. We uh We came back in one piece, which is really all that we can ask for It was close call at a couple times We both still feel like we're on this damn boat and it's been two days now two three days now But nonetheless, we are here to talk sports with y'all because a lot has happened since we last chatted We got two weeks worth of stuff to talk about so Let's just uh, let's just dive right into it gab. Where do we start? We can start with some NBA I feel like the NBA has been pretty exciting. Uh, dream on green. Where are you? You're not playing right now. Boy, um green Suspended but as dream one green is getting suspended John rant first thing back tonight. He's back I didn't think well, I guess I didn't realize like how many games had passed Because I when you guys said this morning that he's back today. It was like what so soon But I guess so which uh huge for the grizzlies because Not a good start to the season for them I mean, it definitely could be better if we want to say like that like they definitely could be better I don't know if it could get much worse. You could be like the Pistons who still haven't won a game but that's true Man, I don't know but and then on the other hand dream on like We've finally reached the point where It's the indefinite suspension. It's not even like okay. Now it's like six games now It's 10 games like you are out Until you do everything that you need to do to prove to us that you are not a lunatic Like you seem to be like you have to go through counseling and stuff to stop abusing guys on the court literally abusing them on the court Oh, yeah, it's just been a long history of Actions like this from dream on green. I I just if you're like gonna bully Jared Allen. That's how you know it's bad I mean Out of all the yeah, sweet boy like what's what's he doing? He already gets enough by his own fans so leave him alone No, but German green not playing Jai is playing Bradley Beal Out of heck Like I how many games has he played this year or Played they played one all together and I don't think he finished the game. Oh my god Now the center is doing a is it the same issue though? Like is it his back still I think it's brain dangle this time Sweet That's you know once you start you're injured with one something else is gonna happen cuz you're trying to fix everything else Yeah, I don't know. I like I really like Bradley Beal. I Really like the whole going to the Sun's thing. I thought that was gonna be it But hasn't it hasn't really worked out the way that uh any of us that hoped I suppose But I don't know and then we got it like Christmas daygames coming up it's just Really like full swing of things with NBA these last two months of the season have just like flashed crazy Yeah, Christmas day NBA Christmas day NFL the other dollars There's games Thursday Thursday Saturday Sunday Monday And we will we will be entertained. We will watch every single one. So at least we have that We will watch Easton stick an absolute Crap kicked out of him by the Buffalo Bills defense. We're gonna watch it. So What else do we have anything else? Crazy happening out there Aaron Rodgers said that he is not going to play as I was not with a concussion The Jets didn't win. They didn't even score a point against the Dolphins. So Aaron Rodgers said he has had enough He will not be coming back Which I'm a little disappointed because I was because I'm going to that Thursday night football game The Browns Jets game and when the season started in my mind, I'm like, oh, that's gonna be a Good game to go to that might be a good Thursday night football game. I Don't think it's going to be any anyway Joe Flacco playing against who's gonna who's he gonna play? It's not gonna be Wilson. I bet I just I Love doing the whole I told you so thing For especially for like all the Jets fans out there who came into my mention saying, oh, you're such a hater Like if he if he's cleared why wouldn't he come back? He literally said today that No one not even him is a hundred percent from that injury in 14 weeks Well, I mean, yeah, we already knew that like I don't know I was so wrong and I was such a hater about what he says literally the same exact thing It's okay. Like he's being he's being smart. He's doing the right thing to prolong his career Give me a break Give me a break. He was never gonna play for the next two years. I don't believe it Good for him, but I'm I'm not okay I would I would like to see one year of Aaron Rodgers with the Jets though Just to see what it actually would be like. Yeah, I don't know what it's gonna be like Well, definitely can't be worse than what they're doing right now. It would be hard to be worse than this. Um, I Am interested though because a lot of the guys that kind of came with him The Randall Cogs to Alan Lazard's people like that like You've seen a full season with them obviously not with Aaron Rodgers Which is what you thought you were gonna get but like if I'm the Jets GM and I watched these guys I'm thinking to myself like waste of my money waste my time. Are these the guys that I want to stick around With Aaron but like because you have the history of them with him. Of course, that's there for the buddy system. Just like yeah Yeah, but like it's at this point. Is Is that even is that even enough for me who said okay? We already lost one year of this guy Are we gonna, you know, try to run it back the same thing again, or are we gonna go chips all in completely and Bring in people who may not be like in his inner circle But who can get the job done? On the receiver end of that because I mean Garrett Wilson, obviously Can't do it with Zach Wilson But like it's hard to do with Zach Wilson or any of their quarterbacks that they've trotted out there this year But then Lazard and Cobb, I mean Cobb would he have gotten any playing time? No with Rogers playing anyway, you know, you know, you would have been out there He would have been out there sometimes, but I don't know if it would be productive Right like it's I just can't justify it So I'm interested to see in like the roster makeup of the Jets next year after getting a fake trial run of the personnel minus the quarterback I'm I'm wondering what it's the lines pretty bad next year So, I don't know Aaron just loves the spotlight. It's too late. The Jets season is over. Yeah, the Jets season has been over It was over whenever he went down like yeah, it was over three plays into the season And then I think we all kind of can agree on that because yeah, even though they won that game It was over at no point did I think yeah, this is gonna work out for them Which sucks for them, but Yeah, it's just whatever I Don't understand it, but I'm interested to see how it works out because I think two years Mm-hmm. I don't I just don't see it. I don't know if he wants to play He's what 38 now about to be 39 or something like that or just turned 39 So what he plays into his 41 year I don't know. I'm not too sure about that, but How about those chiefs break? I'm sorry brother. You played the Patriots You win as a win, you know, you got to celebrate every win that you can get you played the Patriots It's actually a loss Considering you didn't beat them by more than you did. You should have beat them by 40 points. You did it That's an L in my I don't know. Whatever. Um, what else because I I don't know if I want to talk about Patriots I mean, we can skip the Patriots. It's okay. We don't we all know like what my home's does We all know what the chiefs do we all know what they're capable of doing Kaderious Tony is the only question mark really right now except everybody else seems like yeah, we know what you can do But Kaderious Tony, maybe you could do a little bit more I guess maybe for their offense if you just factor in two to three drops a game For Kaderious Tony and then figure out the rest maybe cuz I don't know how it's gonna change. I just so I've seen a lot of People making excuses about the receiver group for the chiefs. I mean, they're pretty bad. Oh, no, no, no They're bad. Don't get me wrong, but they you know in terms of like Protecting my homes in a sense. I think Patrick my homes is protecting them where no, but at the same time It's like the whole comparison with Justin Herbert like it's all Justin Herbert's fault and then you think cuz I feel like everybody's roasting The Chargers players too Every time the Chargers loose. I everything I see is oh, we make excuses for Justin Herbert We always make excuses for I see a lot of people stick up for them, but it might be just because that you know, they've never Won anything we make a lot of excuses for Patrick my homes I know the receiving core is bad, but like back in the league Quarterback play has been down this year including him like I'll be come I'm not gonna sit here and say he sucks, but he has not played to his caliber this year. No way That's what on the field at all times. I don't think so. I think honestly at this point this year I think Lamar is better than him. I Mean if you gave me the option to pick between Patrick my homes and Lamar Jackson, I'm picking Patrick my homes Oh and a broad scope for sure this year though. I Don't think it's as easy like play one another soon, and then we'll get to see Good game That'd be real cool. Um, I don't know though. I This appears to be the only chiefs fan who's like happy with the receiving core. So I think Decent But I don't think they they don't have like a true like Superstar, but whatever. I don't know I said from the beginning of this season though I feel like they just are just like chilling like oh we won all this and We're just having fun now. Whatever that's lame. Well, I mean no killer instinct They look like they're having fun. So Travis Kelsey like in the the pats game every time I like caught a glimpse of it at our our event it just like I Don't know it didn't seem like they were on the same page. I don't know what the deal was But I mean maybe maybe that's the case Maybe they feel like they can kind of just like coast into the playoffs and then like really turn it on Um postseason which like if in terms of keeping guys healthy and stuff sure whatever as long as you're as long as you get there record-wise why not but Another little stuff. I see a lot of people saying that the Broncos are gonna take the division from them I just don't see a world where that happens. That is terrible. I just don't see that. I know I Don't think so the way that The head coach was screaming at Russ like I just I Just don't see it. I don't know. I don't know but like they're not they're not consistent either just like from a completely Football-based perspective like the team that goes out on the field week in and week out similar to a degree to the Buffalo Bills Consistency is like all over the place I feel like the only consistent team though that we have is 49ers right now Yeah, which is not fun for like a viewing aspect, but I guess it leaves us with some surprises It's fun for me like Christian McCaffrey. I'm gonna send him like a nice little edible arrangements or something for fantasy reasons this year, but like I also just love watching The 49ers and this is gonna make me sound like such a loser, but it's true because they give me vintage Patriots vibes where they have Everybody playing to the level that they're playing because they all are and here it comes doing their job They're all doing what they're supposed to be doing. They all have the same like end goal where it's it's the team not just individual accolades and stuff because Debo and Christian McCaffrey if they wanted to week in and week out could score six touchdowns each like that's not What's happening? It's just spread the wealth get the job done and They have and it's gonna be really Interesting to see who can Kind of step to their level come play off time Because as of right now, I don't think anybody can I don't know even if it's like anybody in their own Conference if it's somebody that they'll meet up with in the Super Bowl like I just might get a little preview this weekend Who do they play this weekend Ravens? Oh That's on that's Christmas night, right? Monday Monday Monday's Christmas guys is Monday's Christmas Monday. I don't know But they play they're the night game and that's gonna be a great game Yeah, I hope that's a Super Bowl preview. Well, I genuinely hope the tiktok prediction. Yeah So I saw that on Twitter, too. And if you guys didn't see this The logos of the Super Bowl the last couple of years how they have like that gradient color for whatever city they're in Apparently this year's is red and purple for Vegas Who's red and who's purple? Unless something absolutely insane happens and we get like Viking chiefs vikings Super Bowl, which I don't think we're gonna do I Don't know that would I mean that would be crazy to technically. They wouldn't be wrong in that whole conspiracy thing It just wouldn't be I like this take calling it now San Francisco wins NFC Baltimore loses in the divisional round Who are they gonna lose to though? What is didn't Fandle tweet out? What the current? Playoff matchups would be as of like right now probably and I know that well Baltimore's one. I Just want to see what the other ones are and I think it's Colts Browns. Those are like some of the wild cards, but Hmm, and then Buffalo still has Miami one more time Buffalo could easily miss the playoffs. I guys still think that's that's But they could also easily win the division Well, it's not really hard Like it's like an easy swing of things they could either go number one or they could just like miss in total So as of right now Yeah, the seven seed is Indy, which is crazy Against Miami. So Miami is still I mean, I I don't I know I talk a lot about Miami and how they don't beat anybody good, but like They don't it's just who's on their schedule and like you can't really knock that but well, they have the Cowboys and they have the bills Yeah, but The bills like at this point. I don't I don't know I like that like they got their win this week So they're gonna lose Saturday. Maybe They're gonna I don't know if they're gonna lose the Chargers actually So maybe they'll win this week against the Chargers lose to the Pats and then lose to the yeah, okay The Dolphins. Yeah, they'll go. Let's see. Could you imagine if the Patriots swept them this season? I you would not hear the end of it from me. That'd be pretty crazy No, so here's here's who the Dolphins have the Dolphins play the Cowboys Ravens in the bills Oh to end it out. See that's what I'm saying like it could go either way real quick That's gonna that's the real like test for them And what are you gonna lose all those games and miss the playoffs? I would love that happen, too I would love that One thing one thing you guys need to know about me. I'm a generational hater anybody does anything I'm supporting it bills lose. Don't make the playoffs. I'm supporting it. Dolphins do the same thing I'm supporting it. I don't care, but like regardless So let's say they do make the playoffs the bills make the playoffs They figure out a way they make a playoffs Whoever they have to play if they're like a seven seed. That's a terrible matchup Like if they're going to if they play Jacksonville and they have to go to oh, no, they would have to go to Like you get rewarded a home playoff game, but you play the bills that kind of sucks Instead of like the Colts I'd be the Bengal Steelers. I'd be more afraid if it was I Don't know. I mean if it was the Steelers like Loud, I'm not saying like the team itself. But like in terms of like No, I'm saying like if they're a seven seed you get the home like you're playing at home And they have to come to you they travel well though all of them do I'm not afraid of the Steelers. I think they're terrible. You have Mason Rudolph starting this weekend He's gonna save Christmas Um, I don't know. I'm not afraid of the Buffalo Bills I'm just I'm not I've seen I've seen good play from the Buffalo Bills But I've also seen them look like complete and utter idiots out there. I mean they lost to the Patriots. That's all I need That's all I need Yeah, but people have games like that every year. I know but like this Patriots team is bad They have they have a few wins Against two bad teams plus the Buffalo Bills Granted we got an all-time Mac Jones game probably the only one we're ever gonna get best game of his career That might have been like in my mind I was thinking that might have been enough to carry it over into next season But I'm glad that it didn't just for your sake. Thank you I appreciate that because I would have lost my mind. Yeah, cuz you know how it goes I'd like I watch Baker may feel these he's having a good time right now for sure But I just he was never gonna be the guy and every time he had a good game everyone's like Oh, why are we gonna get rid of them? It always goes back nope, I Just I don't know Baker may feel it though. He had a great game. He did have a good game might win the division for those guys. I Can't believe it. I know it's it's not a a tough division by any means but like you still got it I mean he's winning football He's way better than a lot of quarterbacks in the league because a lot of quarterbacks are really terrible Which we have seen he's not a top-ten guy, but he might be playing like one right now Because of how bad everything is They could want to play off game. They sure could they should The thing that makes me so mad is how he had the perfect game in Lambo Which congrats, but the last time you played there you ruined my Christmas. So I don't I don't know what to say For interceptions, you just needed a change scenery. That's all I guess that's it I'm like I'm happy for him No, and I'm happy for the Tampa Bay Bucks as a whole because like I still had a soft spot for those guys like Mike Evans Chris Godwin just from obviously Brady days and stuff. I watched them pretty religiously I think Mike Evans is Awesome for me like at least top-ten receiver in the league right now like he What is it like 11 12 consecutive seasons with over a thousand yards like the man is a freak and he only had Tom Brady for Two seasons three seasons and he was doing that with guys like James Winston and now Baker Mayfield like So I'm I'm happy for them. I hope that this continues and I do hope that they make the playoffs because I think they could actually Make a little bit of noise if they keep playing they could be noisy in the first half of a game We're probably like mess it up at the end and then I don't know. I mean if they play like they played on Sunday, I don't see why not I'm not that they're gonna beat 49ers or anything, but like I Don't know It's that time of year though crazy crazy things can happen Um, I don't know what else we got though before we get into the rest of the games I mean, we didn't talk about we have two more things We have Dodgers on here and we have Kyle McCord going to Syracuse if you want to touch on either of those topics Let's start just with the transfer portal thing Kyle McCord going from Ohio State Syracuse Well, he knew he knew I Appreciate like the the self-awareness and stuff, but like But like also at the same time, maybe he just didn't want the pressure of One of those like power schools when you have to win. I don't blame him after You know the fans the way that they treated him after the game and stuff Like I want to get the hell out of a pressure situation like that too and like with all due respect Syracuse football isn't Ohio State like Right. He was gonna go to Nebraska until Yeah, he flipped from What Georgia to Nebraska which is wild But did you see the the his like post announcing that he was Decommitting then recommitting. Yes, but like a little poem or whatever it was I want to know who wrote that because I don't think it was him. So like What is the deal looking like how much money did it take to him to go to Nebraska? I want to know does he have like Share in some cornfields and stuff like that like I oil money. I need to know yeah Going from the University of Georgia football program pretty good to Matt rule and Nebraska Thumbs up something happened because they are not they're not a good football team Personally, I would not have done but His dad was a center for Alliance that went to Nebraska. That's not enough for me That wouldn't be enough for me the whole legacy thing. Cool That's not enough But maybe I mean maybe for him obviously whatever It's his prerogative to do what he wants and if that's something that his family is happy about that's great I know it was a fat paycheck. That's all I know put put me in his shoes. It's all about the money Yeah, for sure. It's all about the money. I am not going to Nebraska unless you're paying me And that's not even in my hypothetical college football football quarterback Thing going on. I'm talking like in general real life. I I am not going to Nebraska unless you're paying me Oh, yeah, it's definitely getting a lot of money to go there. I mean, yeah, I need to know I need some more details to come out about this one Just like to show Hale Tony is getting a lot of money to go to the Dodgers At least it wasn't the Yankees. If it wasn't like a surprise little. Oh, I'm going to New York He would have ruined baseball for not only me but for almost everyone Everyone that would have been my downfall like that would have been I would have ended my baseball fandom I think because I I mean we talked about it a couple weeks ago before he Ended up making his decision. Like I love Shohei Otani as somebody who's not It wasn't a fan of the Angels, obviously. I'm not a fan of the Dodgers like I'll go to a couple Dodger games And I like them because like Mookie Betts love Mookie Betts always have it's like I'll support them But I wouldn't necessarily call myself a fan, but I'm happy that it's the Dodgers I know I said like I kind of wish it wasn't because I'm sick of them doing this getting all these Guys that are just like unbelievably good at the sport and it's like them in the braids like enough Sick of it. Um But I'm glad I'm glad it's not the Yankees because that would that would have That would not have went over well with anybody Besides the New York fans. Oh, it'd been the end for me. Um I just the way that they structured this contract to He's getting two million dollars a year for the next ten years and then all the deferrals It's like 68 million a year for the next ten years after that or whatever it is That's ridiculous. Yeah, it's genius so they can keep adding like they just traded for glass now Who I mean it all depended on health with him, but when he's healthy Damn good picture. Um But they I mean they still have enough financial flexibility because of the way they structured this But the thing is it doesn't even matter if they have it you can pay anybody any amount of money that you want to At any time you really like and so you think even do it. Do you think baseball will ever fix like now That aspect of it like a salary floor a salary cap anything like I mean they should start with the salary floor But I don't know how that even works or how you could even go about doing that Which would be great because it would help with some of the other teams to make them more competitive. Yeah, I Just don't think that would Pittsburgh Pirates or the A's or somebody like that. Oh, you have to spend at least this much Well, I said show hey oh Tony's entire contract is like ten years of lineups for us like Insane our highest paid players Jose Ramirez. It doesn't even come close to that and he's the highest ever so that's That to me is when I look at it from Manfred's point of view and I would be like kind of embarrassed if One guy in granted. He's Generational we've only seen one other person do the set type of stuff that he's doing that was over a hundred years ago whatever um But I'd be embarrassed if like his contract is more than It's what like five to seven teams entire payroll like that's That's an issue But I mean, they're not gonna They're not gonna do anything about that. I don't think they should but I don't think they will they never make Good moves for the league to be honest. No, of course not but whatever Alright, let's go NFL with let's start with this one just because I've been begging for this for two years now two years And we finally got it. So this question says who will be the Charter's coach? And the reason why he's asking that is because Brandon Staley's finally been fired Finally, I've been waiting for this one the national embarrassment again We found out this news and we were in Mexico the other day and we took shots and it was Celebration um, I Think it's just it It was too late in my opinion, but after Letting up. What was it? 64 62 points 62 points in a divisional game And the only reason they scored is because they felt bad and give him some garbage time There's just no there was no way he was keeping his job after that not not even a realm Just no just no and on top of that the GM Tom Tolesco got fired too, which I think is huge because and This is here. We go Bill Belichick to the Charter's I don't think that it's gonna happen But the hot rumor is Belichick is the favorite and it's interesting That both the head coach and the GM got fired because Belichick as we all know for however many years has had both caps on head coach and How old is he GM? 71 something like that Washed Bill Belichick and his Patriot way cronies is a terrible idea for the Charter's. So you obviously don't know what you're talking about Obviously don't Um, if anybody is gonna come in and save the Chargers is could you imagine Bill Belichick with Justin Harvard? Okay, but what happens? They suck. I Think that's incredibly difficult to do With the talent that's on that roster if they just if They just buy in and they let him just tweak it a little bit. I think they'd be fine. I think brain Brandon Staley The Rams won a Super Bowl after Brandon Staley left like as the defensive coordinator like that There's more than just his Chargers tenure to prove. He's just not very good If he brings in Brian Flores, although I wouldn't want to work with Belichick again. Um, Josh McDaniels or Bill O'Brien with Justin Herbert is worse than anything That that wouldn't happen is what I'm trying to tell you with that that wouldn't happen Kellen Moore would still be there. Kellen Moore is a very good Offensive mind. He just needs to have the ability to be that very good offensive mind. He did it with Mike McCarthy brain and staley is just Like I just he's not bill Belichick is not washed. I don't care what anybody says I know Patriots fans a not all but a good portion of them are on that boat too Where they're calling him washed and stuff maybe as long as they leave just the coaching portion to him And he doesn't have any say in the draft capital or what they're gonna do with that. That would probably be good he fine with Drafting defense I would write leave leave that to him bring in an assistant to help draft offense and we're cooking with gas We are cooking whether it's for the Patriots or for the Chargers. Whatever like It's I like it JC Jackson back to the Chargers my my dear brother Everything you're saying right now is no JC Jackson hope he's all good. Apparently he's dealing with some mental health issues right now But like just strictly from football like ever since he went to the Chargers. It just hasn't been working out for him So I don't think that that's a good idea going back there But I do think that if Belichick were to go there Things would get fixed. I am interested in the whole Jim Harbaugh aspect of it though And this comment right here if the Chargers get Harbaugh, they win the AFC Maybe the West Maybe they actually I'll actually get a prediction right and say the Chargers Will win the West and Herbert would win MVP and stuff like that, but I would like their chances more to win the AFC as a whole for sure But I don't know at the same time make the playoffs is a good start Win a playoff game when I'm gonna play off game Honest question what is fixed for the Chargers Win a playoff game with as talented of a roster as you have yet that should have been done already should have been done At the same time though Justin Herbie want to request a trade and get out of there. I would support it I would support it big time And I know exactly where you can go Got a number two Overall pick just waitin to send over to LA for him Roster didn't look very talented Thursday, buddy. It's the coaching What are you missing? It's the coaching they have the players. They just don't have the coaching Anyway Enough about the Chargers. I can't talk about that anymore because I will take up the rest of the show doing that What else do we got who else had a crazy game this week Your Browns. Oh my god, that game took I can't believe we were watching the wrong TV when it happened It it threw us all off because every time Every time we looked at the TV It was on red zone like the main one with the sound was on red zone And then all the other ones around it There were a couple that were on red zone There were a couple that were just like the regular broadcasts and stuff and they were all all three of them are at different spots So we look at one we look at the other one like wait a second The ball is in the end zone and I'm like, oh my god, we're gonna lose We're gonna lose and he should have caught it Mooney should have caught that ball Should have lost but they didn't and I don't care in screw Chicago and we deserve that the fans deserve that That's all I got to say. I've never I don't know out of my life. I don't know how he didn't catch that I think that's the closest Like tip drill Hail Mary That I've seen to be a completion like he had it right in his stomach and it just popped right out That's just just how it is. That's just how the Bears season to go in I thought you were gonna have a heart attack I I thought like you were going to fall out of your chair. I have a heart attack. Well, I didn't know what else to do I've never seen wins like that in my life. We've had so many like that not to that extent But each week, um How they win. Mm-hmm. It's been crazy Like when they won against the Colts That was insane When they beat the 49ers, that was insane. I just these are things that um never happened to This football team. It's always in the other direction We may not have our players that are healthy That's fine, but we will win games and we have a quarterback So I don't know if we do. I don't know. He's so at 38 years old. Come on. He's doing a great job. Yeah He's doing a far better job than anybody that I've ever seen. I mean, is it like outstanding and Crazy no, but does it get the job done? Yes, it's all that matters, right? He's he I know that this phrase has been passed or tossed around a little bit um Over the last couple of weeks because of cam newton saying this but like he's the definition at this point of a game manager And sometimes that's just all you need somebody who can just literally manage the game and get the win He doesn't have to be some stud Rowing 500 yards a game or whatever like might as well almost did You just I mean as long as he gets the job done. Who cares how he does it But also at the same time he's what the only quarterback this season to throw for 200 yards in the fourth quarter Yep, and he wasn't on team until What three weeks ago? Yeah, and um he so in his this probably doesn't this is like it's a perspective thing How you want to take it because one's obviously going to throw the ball more than the other But in the three games that joe flacco started he has like 900 yards And in six games that dashon played has a thousand something like a thousand one hundred He also was playing through like A broken shoulder too that he shouldn't have been playing through Well, hey, if you want to say that why did he do so well in the second half of the broken shoulder? so Just makes you think makes you wonder Makes you wonder about that contract a little more every Single day if there's every year for them to win something Now how how like that would just be such a great story Oh, awesome Like even one playoff win is awesome. That's it. Yeah, that's enough And we're building statues of flacco or I would do it myself Like honestly though if he'd want if he'd want a super bowl for the Cleveland Browns There would be a statue up the very next day. You know where that LeBron as there should be as there should be It's gonna be joe flacco forever Uh, what do you do though? Like let's say your dashon Watson and joe flacco wins a super bowl You have to play him next year As in dashon Yeah, well, I mean, what are the eagles do with falls? You know Can I mean, I don't even like I would come on as a backup or something like that. See I guess But man, that would be It would be I personally and I know you would too would love it if they kept him instead of um But like realistically it would be something similar to that But it would be a cool story nonetheless. I mean one playoff game Is enough itself, but a win would be great. It'd be awesome. Yeah I had January joe. I'm so excited Just gotta get there a couple a couple more games. Imagine if you had to play the ravens In the playoffs that would be a great game. That would be really fun to see. Uh, I don't know he's unlocking the potential of players that Should be good, but they never have the opportunity to do so Amari Cooper has looked like Vintage Amari Cooper the last couple of games. Yeah, Amari Cooper has been playing great. Um Like we were talking about this earlier. It's the craziest thing ever. I didn't believe it when I saw it Amari Cooper is going to be the first Cleveland Browns player to have two back-to-back receiving yard seasons the first time ever ever From start to finish anywhere in between ever. It's going to be Amari Cooper. And I think that is crazy That's crazy because we literally were just talking about Mike Evans having 12 12 in a row and that's just Ever you have David Najoku scoring like two touchdowns a week now I don't even know what to say. I've never seen this before ever Cherish it because it says probably it's probably gonna go away so quick I'll have for the rest of my life for these past three weeks and that's enough for me. That's more than enough um, I just I hope that they can make it because I really I really could use some like late 2000s early 2010s quarterback in the playoffs in my life right now because I don't care what you guys say about tom brady whether you like him or not You can't deny That he was so right A couple months ago or a month ago or whatever when he said that Quarterback play in the nfl is mediocre right now And I know that there's a lot of backups playing and stuff But those guys still got on rosters on professional rosters as backup quarterbacks like I don't know. I don't know. It's it's not very good At the same time though Mr. Brady did say that we need to stop um punishing defensive players the way that we do for These head-to-head hits and I agree with him a little bit in a sense where A lot of these times It's not like they can really do anything to let up. They're already going in for the tackle granted You don't need to go ahead first. We got to adjust the form. We got to work on the form and stuff like that but Quarterbacks need to be better at throwing situational awareness You see coverages where it looks like there's even the slightest bit of potential For your guide to get hit so hard that they're knocked out of the game but like any Any From five percent up of it being a hospital ball don't throw it Because you're not gonna your own guy out not helping you The defensive players are gonna keep getting punished keep getting punished And it's just gonna be like everybody says and I always make fun of these people for saying it but like Week in and week out. It's starting to be more true. We're gonna get away from playing legitimate football to playing like flag And again, it's not every time because there are there have been hits this season Like the hit on davante parker Yeah, it was a little bit of a hospital ball So it's not 100 the defenders fault But like you'll go in with the crown of your helmet to hit the guys square in the head Like both sides need to figure out how to Be better about that But it's tough because it's always a defensive player that gets Fine for it. And now I know it's only three games, but like This guy's out three games and the Steelers are on the outside looking in but like there's still a chance It's a slim chance, but there's still a chance that they can make the playoffs. So it's just It's tough. It's a it's a weird spot to be in right now and I mean I'm more than anything can't wait until Brady's in the booth and he's like saying all of this stuff on national tv And I don't know if he's gonna like Kind of censor himself or like yeah, he might have to tone it down after the first couple I don't know if he will though He might just say like you guys are paying me all this money You guys like just let me say what I want to say which I would love Because I would love for him to to say Somebody's some quarterback is playing like crap on air. I would love that I don't think it's gonna happen though But whatever um Tom Brady's torn ACL No That was that's the Carson Palmer rule Carson Palmer was the one whose ACL got torn and that's when they started cracking down on low hits to the quarterback If you're going to say stuff like this, please do your research. I'm begging. I'm begging you That was a come to Jesus ball That meant you through fitman That's not the first one. He's thrown him this year. There was one. I think against I don't know Titans. It was a couple weeks ago. Pitman got rocked who won that one. I don't know We'll see Um, what else do we have from this past week? That's worth talking about I mean the ravens beat the Jags the Jags look pretty bad. I'm not gonna lie I thought they were gonna be way better than they are I uh, I'm interested because I saw something Go all around about Trevor Lawrence's stacks In comparison, I don't remember who it was in comparison too, but it was not good. Yeah. He hasn't been good at all. He's been pretty okay. Um And That's about it. I just I don't even know what else to say about it He's been okay. You have great receivers Have a great running back Your team should be a little better than what they are Maybe that playoff win against The chargers gave us some false hope for what was to come for this season. Again, they're not bad I'm not saying that they're a bad team They just should be better than what they are Mm-hmm And now he's getting cussed Yeah, like their games aren't really competitive either. It's just I don't I don't know what to think about them The ravens are good Ravens are great. Ravens are great. Um, the way I feel about the jags is like kind of similar to how I feel about the bills like there's so much Potential there and they should have done more than they have Over the last let's just let's just call it this season and last Um, and they haven't And it's just like I've heard, you know, we heard so much about Trevor Lawrence in college You know, it was all tank for Trevor tank for Trevor and You're you've got comparisons to Daniel Jones being made about you Like Where where did we fall off here? Where what happened? Because This guy was supposed to be the next great quarterback and so far Not so much um I don't know but like Now that he's can cost him like they're still They're still in the playoff picture right now, but like the afc Is ridiculous one game could swing things 500 different ways um, so it's it's every game truly truly matters And if he's gonna miss just one, I mean, hopefully it's just one Hopefully it's not at all but concussion protocols obviously nothing to really be cavalier about um That could cost them and games like The ravens game where it should have been more competitive than it was and they left a lot On the table there, but you need to win those games But also the ravens are just really good. So I don't know. Yeah, they're getting by the afc north across the board. So that's not a good look for them. Yeah Was erin rogers lying about coming back this whole time? Probably Yeah, he probably was just doing it for the story deep down I feel like he knew this and he just wanted to keep himself in the headlines Yeah, and I feel like he knew that the jets weren't going to do it. So he just can now say oh, well Don't have to go out there now like imagine if they were in the playoff race Yeah, then what and then he doesn't come back say it like This is just narcissism 101 like he'll do he knew I Genuinely feel that he knew the entire time coming back would have been outrageous because we all knew You don't come back from that injury that quick. No matter how much of a State of the art surgery you have or whatever like impossible um So yeah, I really think he knew when he just kind of kept teasing it and kept teasing it until he couldn't anymore Just to just to stay relevant just so people remembered. Oh erin rogers, you know, he's still here. He's still in the league but what What did we expect, you know From that guy, um Oh, let's talk about last night's game real quick and then we can move on to some nba and We have a fun little christmas themed game to play. Um Let's I don't know. Do you want to start with the eagles issues first or The cool little storyline with drew lock because both are no I haven't okay Sure, we can do the story I like drew lock. I'm gonna start by saying I like drew lock and I like what he's done But I think people need to chill out with it. Yes. I completely agree But congrats big win big win and I like drew lock a lot. I just don't like him playing On the field. I don't think I don't think he's he's like, uh 17 game starter. Well, no, he was on the seven game losing streak before that There's a reason why he's now uh a backup and But it was awesome Played great yesterday But um, but that's like another thing. I don't want people to think. Oh, he had that great game He can probably do that next season. No, he actually can't do that Well, you know, you know that they will because we saw that with josh jobs and that was just after a couple weeks Right, and then they're gonna be mean to him later on Yeah, exactly. I mean, that's just How goes how the NFL goes but on the other hand Philadelphia eagles are treading into some rough Rocky waters right now because I know Jalen hurts is sick and he's got whatever illness he's got, but he hasn't closed Hasn't looked great. Um Lots of turnovers this year, which was not the issue last year. He was pretty good at protecting ball Last year, he's got more fumbles through like seven games this year than he did all of last season. It was ridiculous and their defense oof Their defense their defense is a big issue. Their defense likes to talk. That's another issue that they have. Um Their defense likes to talk and they talk a little too much and they shouldn't be talking right now They should be working to get better because they are getting embarrassed They um You know It's just it's comedy for me to see Matt patricia get the call to Be on the sidelines calling defensive plays having their real defensive coordinator moved up to the booth and And then just just see that like Some something's got to get fixed and get fixed quick because this is not going to Help in the playoffs whatsoever. You think that defense? I mean we've already we saw it a couple weeks ago But you think that defense is going to win a playoff game against the 49ers Let's say they meet in the divisional round. You think that's going to happen. No way Darius sleigh had to get a little bit of a knee surgery. I know they're only saying he's going to be out for a week, but like I don't know. Maybe they're better without it He's been really bad like actually like awful Well, he talks a lot too. So I know that's what i'm saying If he sees this i'll tell him again like he was arguing with the um Like all kinds of leaks old-time eagles I thought he does they were on a show and they were like maybe just win. He goes. Maybe don't talk about us I don't know. They just want you to win um Oh, come on j rich buddy We are not one to be talking right You know, it was funny though because I saw like on Sunday It was it was really funny to see on sunday all the like eagles fans were yelling about the cowboys making fun of them And then the next day the cowboy stands in the back. So, you know, both of you guys are just going through everything now So I get it I would do it too if I had that loss What happened? If I had that I mean dak didn't stand a chance against the bills Oh my god I was out here like right in the bills eulogy the other day and the they come out and do this to the cowboys Get up off the ground for a single play That's supposed to be the mvp or it was the mvp favorite then man Couldn't do anything. I don't know. I feel better about the eagles. Sorry to your cowboys I feel I feel better um About the eagles and I do the cowboys. I still think both are good teams But I just feel a little bit better about the eagles Because when eagles lose it's close and when the cowboys lose Well, besides 49ers game, but when the cowboys lose which has been multiple times It's been a little scary so and then my thing with the eagles is like You know More often than not their offense is going to show up It's just and like score points. It's just the matter of if their defense can stop The other team especially in crunch time With the cowboys though, I feel like if they're going to have a game like that It starts from the very beginning and there's no Fixing it. There's no Like second half adjustments or anything like that. Like if they're going to have a bad game It's going to start from the opening kickoff Yeah, I I don't know. I kind of feel bad for jaylon herds. He should play way better. He really should like 100% That's not what I'm trying to say here But every week it's a different quarterback that they switch up on who they hate this week Like it'll be just in her where one week one week people will say stuff about lamar now It's jaylon herds dach josh ellen. Like it was my home's two weeks ago. Yeah every week. It's someone new My home's deserved it two weeks ago. I mean, I'm just saying though like each week. It's like a different one Yeah, well, I mean that's just That's just I like oh they suck. They're so bad. I'm like Relax You want to say play or suck watch some of the games with the backups I don't know You could argue that the Niners and bills are playing the best football right now Niners for sure The bills I'm I'm still a little skeptical about just just A little bit and then here we go The bills will find a way to blow it next month probably You know, uh bills. I already said uh browns Ravens um playoff game would Do numbers a bills browns playoff game I think people would have to go to the hospital for alcohol poisoning like bring out Bring out the worst. Oh my god. I went to a browns bills game here like a few years ago There was some woman. She just started peeing in the middle of the street. She's like I can't find a bathroom That's how messed up everybody was I mean sometimes you got to go you got to go. So I mean you can't that would bring out the craziest people We that that's like people talking about last year the potential of like a bills eagle super bowl We're not ready for that. No as a society. We're not we're not prepared a bills eagle super you said bills eagles. Yeah Philly fans scare me so I don't know they scare me They really scared me that's too much and that's a compliment Don't take it any other way because I'm scared for you to take it in a different way They are loyal. I need I Trevor I appreciate you watching the show and interacting. I can't anymore I can't do it. Um, it's just that coach. That's awesome. This is troll. I love that one. I love that one No more That is so funny All right, let's talk nba and then let's play a quick game and then we are going to wrap it up For the next two weeks. We're doing a little holiday break Um, I'm traveling to see family and I'm going to be all over Freakin everywhere. So we're going to take the next two weeks off. So let's go out with a bang. Let's do some nba real quick And then we can bop into this game What's going on in the nba? It's the best reality tv show that I've ever watched I don't know each week. It's something I don't even want to talk about the things that I want to talk about because it's just like Way off topic, but I you mean you have anthony edwards out here Putting up apologies for no reason you have jaw coming back today raymond green. Um, I don't know what else is there Couldn't you get access to canada? There's there's that one. There's issues going down Like I'm talking major issues going down in the g league. Like it's just The pistons still haven't won a game. I don't know if they're going to I saw a tweet the other day that said could this yukon huskies team beat the detroit pistons and The poll was like 70 percent. Yes That's bad Yeah, they're not a good team Not a good team Um, what else? Ema got ejected again again That's what caroline said. I know wait against the cabs. I know who she's trying to say Against the cabs I don't know. Maybe I was with you the whole time. I don't know. Um What else? I mean the Celtics are are Celtic-ing. They're doing pretty good. James Harden. I guess last night went off Okay, they've won what seven in row eight in a row I don't know Do you know? I don't know That's madison um What else uh, yukich got ejected the other day for yeah, and I'm tired of him getting ejected. He's not for what Well, you probably said a little bit of Harsh language to the rest and they got a little sensitive, but that's just culture That's his culture respect yukich culture come on. NBA refs are are so soft It's just it's unbelievable like I understand like you probably shouldn't be like calling the refs names and Stuff like that, but like if they blew a call he to the moment like obviously you're gonna get anger directed towards you firing off teas and ejections as quickly as they do That can be a break um Dylan oh Dylan Brooks. What this thing that he's been doing at his little stardounds I don't know it must have worked out because he had a game winning three against the Grizzly so the gris uh, he's just Every time I see him do something I'm just like What the hell Um does the clippers new arena open. Yeah, it's gonna be crazy Is it next year or the following I think it's next year every time I drive by so far Like it doesn't look like they're even close. No, it's I think it's supposed to be next year. Someone told me Not madison didn't tell me Someone else told me things about it like last year what it's gonna be like I don't know if I'm allowed to disclose the information But so they said they said about how they're gonna have like the One like blank wall. That's supposed to make it like Echo like more it's gonna make the arena louder But like it's gonna be a legitimate like how Barclay center is meant to be like a basketball arena, even though they played hockey in there like this is supposed to be like The most high-tech top of the top when it comes to it's gonna be it's gonna be crazy Like the tickets are gonna be crazy how to get in you're gonna have like participation points for being allowed at your seat I'm excited you're gonna have chargers at your seat That's the one I like huge That's even like the little rental chargers. Like that's not enough. No for me But just put a usb outlet next to under the seat or something like an airplane And there you go That's all a lot less sweets. Hi for the best More seats for the people that actually like want to go and watch the games instead of just go and sit in the suites and like have social hour and stuff or Pull a Black and do whatever in his suite and stuff Um, it's gonna be cool though. Like it's every time I go to so far you can see the construction site from there And you can see it start to get build up, but Yeah, it would probably be good for their fan base too because I feel like it's like kind of Yeah, well, it's also like Getting to the staple center so hard And that's just like like you see that place and you go that's likeers, right exactly like it's yeah It's just not I don't know. I feel bad saying it but like the clippers are not The most popular team in like I don't know, but I am I'm excited for it and then 2024. I mean that's So like for the start of next season, it's gonna be good to go I think so sick all right um All right, you want to play this little game real quick and then call it a night All right caroline, let's do it so We are playing a little quiz game today and Here's what it is nba teams with at least 10 or more wins on Christmas And we caroline and I looked at a few quizzes and a lot of them were really hard like stats dating back I think one was dating back in 1966 and we said absolutely not Um, but we wanted to do something christmas theme, you know tis the season whatever So we're gonna try this one And I feel like it's gonna be easy But every time I say that we uh, right get a little stumped. Okay. Uh, let's just go lakers All right lakers and Celtics to start it off because that just feels the easiest um Let's try the nicks And let's try the heat Yeah I'm telling you the calves aren't on here. I think they might be We can try it, but I feel like they're not on here. I feel like they haven't played enough christmas games to be on here They might but I just feel like I think I think they could be. Um, what about The pistons like when the pistons were good pistons were good Seventy-sixers. Oh, yeah, I forgot about them Bucks No, they're definitely no warriors. Bucks are definitely not on there Um Suns what about the suns they've had some yeah Yeah Okay, I know this one sounds crazy, but what about the Orlando magic sounds crazy But early 2000s Actually, I don't know we need 10 or more, right? Yeah. Oh the bowls Do we not do the bowls? They're definitely on there Let's just try the bucks real quick We got two seconds left. What's the worst that can happen? Sacramento kings kings wizards cheer players. There's all really not good teams right now. See, I knew I knew they weren't gonna be I knew the cows weren't gonna be on there because the only time they've ever won Or ever get invited is when LeBron plays I'll be completely completely honest Out of all of the teams that I could have guessed for those last spots and any of them those weren't even close No Not even close But we got What nine out of 12? Yeah Not bad Not bad wizards. Yeah, exactly right like what the hell I uh, maybe like the john wall wizards Or are they counting when like when they were the washington bullets? Are they counting that? I don't know. Um Whatever we we did good enough. We got a passing grade. It's fine All right, you guys that is it for us this week Reminder next Tuesday and the following Tuesday. We are off Doing holiday stuff and we will be back Um, I guess the second Tuesday of the new year So I hope everybody enjoys their holiday and it has a happy and safe new year And we'll do dfs stuff still we'll get that posted out Our twitter will still be you know active and stuff.
