 Week 14 in the books. The playoff picture is slowly coming into focus. Am I doing push-ups on the show today? I subtly remember Promising Darius Butler I would do that and he is on the show Mark Ingram also stopping by for their weekly visits It's up in Adams and it begins and now we're gonna work hard to the whistleblows and You know until the whistle blows until that clock is zero We giving it everything we got and we playing for each other and you know, it's just relentless and I Just love those guys in the locker room and the love we have for each other is just you know That's what you know was on display tonight. So any of you out there like I don't know him Well, get ready. That's pay Patriots. Paschal shirt Josh Uche Stealing the show making a name for himself three sacks New England's big 27 to 13 Monday night football win over the Cardinals Patriots fans No, he's been on it all year long and this squad was relentless. They got to Colt McCoy Poor Carl McCoy. How's he feeling this morning? Here's to you six sacks and they do what they do in December They just willed themselves back into a playoff scenario and on the other side. Listen already a rough season all around for Arizona And it got much worse Kyler Murray. It was the first drive. I believe exits the game It's feared to be an ACL. We have tests today, of course to confirm that and if it's an injury Like that then this is gonna kid not this isn't like he'll be back next season This will carry over and be something we're talking about into the season into the fantasy drafts into where the Arizona Cardinals stand after someone else won a Super Bowl in their house And that for 2023 that's the situation and that's what's at stake New England. They didn't leave this thing unscathed either They lost from Andre Stevenson to an ankle injury Devonte Parker had a concussion early on But they did lean on some rucks and you love to see it Pierre strong perfect name for running back Pierre strong Come on and Kevin Harris and this defense which was must were test spectacular to get the win the Pats outscored The Cardinals 20 zip in the second half and highlighted and the spotlighted should be the game-changing Touchdown Kyle Dugger, you know him. You love him knocking the ball away. I mean here it is. Oh, come on Deandre Let's go. How does he knock this ball out? Oh my gosh, McMillan takes it for the scoop and score This was huge. This changed the tone One of those plays and now the ABC wild card race has really gotten wild Give me the full screen here. It is the Patriots move to the ABC's final playoff spot with the win Mmm, so they're five and three and in their conference and that pushes them a smidge ahead of the Chargers up on the Jetson that three-way tiebreaker. So This is gonna be a battle this final month anything can happen But it is clear that Bella check and his boys for you Aren't not going to just go fading quietly into the night Especially with a playmaking defense like this and we're talking to Lauren sky Later today will bring you that and every later this week on up and Adam and he had a he had his hand on the sack yesterday He's been incredible and this if they make it it is on this Patriots defense back Which it was many times in Tum Brady himself won Super Bowls for this team So we're kind of coming down the final stretch of the season We're seeing some pretty important significant story lines developing And so I thought that we could take a second to talk about a few of the things that I'm sort of taking away now that All of week 14 has a row a bow and a farewell postcard attached to it And I want to start in the NFC with the Cowboys because What went on when that game against the Texans is important It took everything Dallas had to come up with the 27 to 23 win. Okay, and here's what you're looking at This is a goal line stand like no other This is something that gave the offense a pulse a chance some probability on an abacus and listen Dackin Corresponded what did they do they? Marched right downfield on a 98-yard game-winning drive both sides of the ball stepped up with the game on the line and both Deserve a ton of credit for that. We're all like living in this Odell Jerry Jones cute Matt We're not we have to pay attention with the facts What's reality what's happening in the fact is that they came down to a dramatic finish against You know a one-win team using two different quarterbacks and playing without their top two receivers That is a bit concerning. There's like a little bit of a mmm And there's always a little bit of a oh boy when it comes to Mike McCarthy McCarthy and he was asked about it after the game Here's what he said, you know, this this is football. This is just you know, I'm not trying to make excuses I you know, I get what's on my chest and the expectations I get that but it's about winning and We got it done today You got it done and yeah, like you're not wrong. So I can't like poke holes in your logic. It's true And in the process of picking up said win became the first Cobblest coach in spirit with serve back in 95 To lead Dallas to double digit wins and back-to-back seasons. That's all cute. That's great That's a nice little tweet that flew out. I actually don't even know why I'm saying that but listen It's none of that matters Sundays game is the perfect example of what everyone's hesitant to sort of wrap their arms I'm certain lamb. I'll be the first to say and if they do it. I'll be happy for them Sure, I'm happy to see them go all the way in the NFC But I can't get there yet. There's not enough proof what Odell tipped a scale in their favor It didn't we listen when he went to the Rams and he was really great I still didn't think the Rams were gonna win the Super Bowl So I don't know coming off an injury off that that would swing the balance in their favor There are major Trust issues and you can try to make it work and you can try to like see couples therapy and do all of that But if like these are foundational issues that have been extended my entire life period with this franchise And so many of you watching out there. It's hard and that is the weight that is on the chest of Mike McCarthy Whether you know, he's on the sideline throwing a clipboard or whether he's showing up looking like Vince Lombard And everybody's dragging him for it at Lambo the more I watch this team And I watched both CD and Michael Gallup completely silent on Sunday The more I watch the more I'm convinced that they need to get OPJ if they're gonna contend and yes I know they Signed my guy T. Y. Hilton. I love him a great veteran And I do understand the outlined prominent concerns about Odell's health right now But let's say that it's true, right? And they say that he won't be ready until the playoffs Okay, sometimes you just have to take a swing. Okay Odell's proven time and time again He's a bit of a difference maker and a different animal out there and it's clear Dallas is not completely filled the void Created by the Amari Cooper trade. Nobody wants to talk about that. So adding Odell Makes sense. It's a swing. I don't know if it tips everything and I all of a sudden trust them They think they're taking out the Eagles or anything like that But it gives you that much more belief in their ability to commit and to make a playoff run Jerry. I Love you. It's time. Do what you're born to do Circumcise the mosquito and take this way. All right now let next I want to hear from Steve Wilkes the Panthers had a big win over Seattle take a listen Everything that you know, we've gone through they've gone through with the different, you know coaching changes You know getting rid of players of the organization trying to tank it, you know All those different things and to see how those guys respond and came out and played today. It is pretty thrilling and emotional. Yes It's also really fun. There's lots of unpack here and we start with the NFC South situation Why is no one talking about the Panthers? Wilkes is their interim head coach The Panthers somehow under his stewardship have climbed to within a game of the Bucks for the division lead What that we have Mark Ingram are always talking about the Bucks because what the Panthers of Mark Ingram? That's the team to be and they beat Pittsburgh this weekend. Then, you know Tampa Falls to the Bengals This is what would happen Carolina would move into shoot first place What a climb for a team that fired its head coach Early in the season a team that's you know pretty much become the NFL's redemption island Let's be honest first you have Wilkes who in my opinion everyone's opinion to happen live on my show We talked about it raw deal in his first NFL head head head coaching gig fired one and done season in Arizona back in 2018 Enter wonder kid Cliff Kingsbury. Let's talk about how that's going look to highlights to last night to tell you a year ago Wilkes was the defensive coordinator at Mizzou. I'm from Mizzou I would literally just cracked my back doing that anybody hear that oh Convert saying I'm not getting out of push-ups, but I just think I'm playing hurt today It looks like Wilkes would not you know, it's hard It's you get the coaching gig the head head guy in charge and then once you lose it I really do am I ever getting back am I ever getting close to being back a lot of guys never sniff a head coaching gig again I could point to all of them But now Wilkes might be coaching his way into a full-time gig whether it's in Carolina or some other team That's like hey, they're climbing. They're playing well. They might be the lead in the division a division that has Tom Brady What? And then there's Sam Darnold Sammy Following a preseason injury Baker may build experiment PJ Walker experience He finally gets a chance to start again in week 12 and he's to it. Oh, okay He's doing that was a starter. I love to see it three touchdowns. By the way, how many interceptions? Oh Zero in those two starts amazing. How about the running back room this team all traded away their superstar and Christian McCat I literally just hurt my entire neck on that I really did doing this Aging is the dumbest anybody out there that cannot age like don't ever do it's the dumbest thing that's ever been yeah You know I'm talking about Christian McCaffrey still young often injured. He's been amazing and We got to take a look at what these these guys did in his stead instead because take a look at this since the trade Deontay Foreman sleeper du jour on our show often He's fifth in the NFL and rushing averaging over 85 yards a game on the ground for just incredible for guy Who was thought to be toast after an Achilles injury back in 2019? And there's also the Ben Maca do of it all by the way There's too much to unpack here the former Giants coach finding a way to make this offense work And I got to give credit to the defense. Oh, I'm I am like the clickbait of young feisty Jeremy chin everybody they look so great and they're fine the talent is there But they're finally playing up to The super-high ceiling of their talent and potential so if the Panthers can make this happen They go to win the Bucks lose they switch a play this would be probably one of the coolest underdog stories And one of the underdog stories that absolutely no one is talking about and I don't know why so That's what we do here on the up-and-out of show. I'm just gonna get some ice Conrad I don't want to do push-ups Here's the problem with the push-ups and can you voice of God me really quick Conrad can you be the voice of God or no? No There's not enough of an incentive for me to do push-up if I if you were to say here's a million dollars I could probably do five push-ups, but if it's just for the show I Could probably do one Conrad we're just saying to I thought you had a voice of God thing back there. Is that broken? What do you do what do you do back there Conrad? You know what you get your mind right Kay get your mind right stop making excuses over there Get your mind right do it for the show. I came I came in today I came in today, and they have a yoga mat here in front of me, and I go. Oh Yeah today. I was out. I was out kind of late. I have a creek at my neck Got nice little you like nice. What's that a shacket? Yeah Look at this look what they brought look what they brought over here. I Like it. I like did you do your push-ups? Sorry, Siri. Nobody's talking to you. Siri. No one is talking to you. There was a leg day. No put no push-ups today Leg day got the legs in got in there early. Nice Leg day. Nice walk in. Oh We got a mall walk in an 80s. Yeah, but you know what you gotta you gotta stop complaining though I heard it neck. I heard a shoulder. I heard it back in the last five minutes. Okay? Well, I'm so thanks for thanks for popping Darius on guys. That was lovely. I'll talk to you in a little bit butler Oh, you have another thing to talk about the Titans, right? Feel good story on the verge of turning into an absolute nightmare. Take a look at this They get blown up by the Jags at home, right? The Titans have now lost three straight fire their GM Their AFC South's lead has dwindled down to a measly two games Jacksonville Gaining ground quickly while Tennessee man, what's going on in Tennessee? They seem to be getting further and further away from the team that they were earlier in the year And I do not know what the answer is this seems obviously listen I'm very compassionate and empathetic about injuries as I'm dealing with one and that's what they have there Riddled with injuries rabels and a really good job of getting them to this point despite all of that but I'm starting to wonder if this year is kind of time to What do they say mail the car home like ship the car home start planning the vacation because I don't know if it's happening the Titans rank in the bottom ten and total offense and total defense and I'm really saying this because at this point, you know what teams are good You know what defenses are tough and the schedule doesn't get easier The Chargers in LA We're gonna be at that game our whole show is going to that game whoo the Texans the Cowboys and Then a week 18 meeting with the Jags that could end up being for the division title, which is woofer effect Things are at their bleakest right now But if there's one coach that we hear about constantly who I believe in who I have faith in it's gonna make it work It is Mike Vrable and we've seen him Navigate unique challenges every single year and he's gotten I mean he could win a football game in Pandora of avatar guys I'm telling you because I saw avatar last night. I Think it's the 3d glasses threw off I wouldn't wear the 3d glasses at this thing because my makeup was so pretty and I don't think anybody considers when you have to put on glasses like what that would do to your entire What if I wanted to go to the after-party so there is that so and then they have these caps I like made a stand of not wearing the 3d glasses and then of course there's captions Subtitles and you can't read them without it's like such an incredible beautiful experience. Everyone should go, but you can't read it So then you're like Trying to see what it says you can understand since I don't speak Pandora, but lovely movie and everyone should see it All right, we got to go Ray ball, what are you gonna do with Tennessee? Let's go buckle up push-ups next The cornerback captain former Colt's Patriot Panther president of What of to a non? I forgot First of what I do without you. Yes, he's president of that. I'm a little flustered Or am I looking here great because this stupid Matt is in here. I'm a listen. I'm gonna change my mood right around I'm a woman of my word. I promised you something last time you were on the show and you were so hyped. Take a look You're doing push-ups before you came on what so what is that about? I mean you always got to get your get your blood flowing get your you know how your arms right? Yeah, you know for you're insane right now. I'm gonna okay next time you come on next week. I will do push-ups That's a bet. I think I can do I got a stick to it Fandal sports book bet the under on two push ups That's a bet no bad beat refunds none of that there we go there we go. I didn't want to have to What's the prop two and a half this over I got I got That's light okay, let's go lower. Okay, look lower lower That's good. That's good. You're good. You're good. Get up. Let's go. You did it Way to set the tone way to be a woman Oh my god, someone help me. I like it. I like it. I love it. Well Jerry is now. I'm fully sweating. So that's very fun Okay, you see how much better you feel you got your blood flowing. Yeah, you feel good now. I know you feel so great I know you feel good. I really want you know what was the eight nine? I Don't know I lost count. It was like so many. That's what I'm talking about. You like it. You just get going. I like it I love it. Okay. I really think you should be a coach. I'm really I really let's go. I There's probably no one else in the world that could get me to do push-ups. I think it I just need you to be a coach See you thought only two three you end up getting eight nine. Yeah, see that Mindset, it's all about the mindset. Yeah, it's true. Here's what well Here's what Marissa said. She said that if I did two then you would have to name me the NFC and AFC team That'll make the Super Bowl. Oh That's easy. Go ahead Give it what the Eagles I said that a long long time ago. So I'm sick with the Eagles now I am a little torn. I'm a little torn on the AFC side, but I'm gonna go to surprise here who I stuck with from the beginning. I'm going chargers. I said Chargers get hot they're getting the playoffs Justin Herbert's got his weapons back. Bolton's coming back soon. Derwin's coming back soon. Give me the charges to get hot chargers Eagles yeah, how do you think the Dolphins feel about that? They they took down your team and now you're just jumping ship to the Bolts interesting. No, you know, I still have my I still have my dolphins winning the vision I am off the tour MVP train right now the last two weeks He really you know took a turn for not the worst but he fell off a little bit But I do expect him to get back rolling. I expect me to get back hot Just been a little off, but I expect me to get back clicking sooner rather than later But you know chiefs bills dolphins That's pretty much good on that side that you got the Eagles the Niners Cowboys Vikings kind on that other side So, you know, it's gonna be a fun playoffs though I love it. I have any I've not even looked at my Twitter and I just know that push-up form Twitter It's gonna be all over. There's nothing worse than the push-up form Twitter. I Don't agree. Don't worry about those Okay, I want to talk about this Justin Jefferson we need oh my gosh I need a DB breakdown on a matchup from this weekend and it is that one. What am I looking at here? Man, it's through the special man. He does everything he beat you motioning around the field across the field He beat that's him in motion right there trying to get it's hard to keep track of him Which where he is on the defensive side of the ball. He could beat you from the outside He could beat you lined up in the slot They actually took a 70 yard touchdown away from him and he still had over 200 yards But I mean 18 is always on the move Kevin O'Connell has been doing a great job Keeping him moving similar to what Cooper Cup was doing last year, but he's more dynamic He's more explosive than Cooper Cup Especially before he catches the ball and the Kirk Cousins been doing a great job Getting them ball getting him the ball. Obviously you have feeling you have eyes born You have how can see you have other weapons, but Justin Jefferson you see right here in the slot Outside leverage. He's still running outside route Kirk Cousins get hit throws it on the back shoulder seven right there So that's an accurate baseball. They should have been they should have been a 70 something yard touchdown But they said he stepped out as bad referee right there Just let the play go on then you review it after it's done, but Justin Jefferson. He's been unbelievable all your long How do you stop it? You don't you can you can you can try to slow him down. I saw Bella check try to you know deploy double teams You saw the Lions trying to double team him So whenever you're double teaming a guy and he's still wreaking havoc That's like, you know double teaming a pass rusher Yeah, you know one of these guys and he's still creating havoc There's really no stopping him. You can only try to limit him, but he's having a special special Offensive player of the year type year if that MVP award, you know, did you see did you see Chris Carter? I'm gonna show yesterday say he's the third on the list of franchise wide receivers for the Vikings He's third Randy Moss a second and Justin Jefferson is the best. I did not see that. I did not Chris Carter cc. That's the opposite of legend. He's been a little humble right there I would still keep Randy and cc at the top right now, but Justin Jeffs is well on his way Special special young talent in this league man. I love watching a team play Yeah, so basically you're saying if you see him on the schedule just chalk it up as a loss It's sort of a no never say that. Hey, hey never say that as a corner now The the Jets last week they did pretty good. You know, you got two corn sauce You got DJ Reed. They obviously got a great defensive front That's really what it's about when you're playing those type of receivers because they move around outside Inside yeah, he had a career high day there. Yes. He had the most hit the quarterback now. He gets the Jets. He didn't oh, yeah Okay, sure storms are right. Let's move it on here Baltimore Losing quarterbacks left and right Huntley leaves he's in concussion protocol reports are looking like Lamar Yeah, still a few weeks out from being available. So what if you're the head if you're Harbaugh What do you do to sort of weather the storm so you can hold on to first place? Because you know my bangles are gonna win the division the The bangles are rolling and obviously if I had to pick a division winner right now to finish strong and win that division I'm right there with you with what Joe Burrow is going to the quarterback position But it's the Ravens they find a way to win somehow some way last week I felt like they were supposed to lose that game Snoop and the guys found out what found a way to win it They are equipped if any team is equipped to win without a quarterback playing great ball It's the Baltimore Ravens with that run game So hopefully they can get that run game going get those tight end of all with whoever's playing quarterback But pray to God Snoop Huntley somehow can clear a concussion protocol Because it's tough to win this league without a quarterback Even if you're on that great Ravens team with Harbaugh calling the shots, that's gonna be tough man That's gonna be really tough and shout out maybe just lean on JK Dobbins We're gonna talk about I think later this week, but I'll say this I Think it's a lazy take but one that I'm guilty of where it's like well Those running backs are interchangeable with the Ravens and that backfield and like anybody but like JK Dobbins being healthy out there He's different. He's different for that team, and I think he needs some some love and I think they should rely on him a little bit more You are you're a DB guy, so I come to you with my questions, and I think these young corners They're acting up a little bit They need some good thing they need some captain cornerback Marissa found this it's Trayvon digs a star of course, and he goes credit me with the interception, please I had it first Ella. Well, or we can split it 50-50. Here's what he's talking about. Okay, so what are you seeing in this play and What are your thoughts this this is a good old hill Mary So this is one of those situations that you can never really practice and practice You really only get these real-life situations in the game because people don't coaches don't want everybody jumping up fighting for Ball exactly what's going on here, and they tell you all the time is a DB bat it down bat it down bat it down But real DBs real ballhawks, which Trayvon digs is they want every opportunity to get an exception So I love this. I love this from digs. I love it complain get your interception I've seen all-time great pass rushers complain for days after game to get a sack or half a sack of credit to them And I would hate for Trayvon digs to look back on his career and have 59 interceptions And I have 60 so you know ballhawks they think about stuff like this. So I love this digs. I love I love every second It is well, I love that. I'm glad he's quicked out with that win It's true, and then we have this other one, right? It's a it's a deleted tweet, and I'll just look can we just stop there? Don't delete your tweet. What did it delete? I deleted one last night. I did leave the one last Oh, I can't complain. It was I just didn't you know, I don't like negative energy on my timeline I literally tweeted out. I'm feeling like a big night for Kyle and Murray here tonight And of course with everything that's how this year has been going he gets hurt like two plays later So, you know, you got all the trolls coming to the tweets. I'm like, alright, let me just delete this But obviously we're hoping for a speedy recovery from Kyle and Murray, but let's see this sauce gardener Deleted tweet. Okay. Here it is. Here it is. This is you know He goes after his own fans speaking of a little negativity here talking about pro bowl votes because he's trailing Tariq woollen and he says to all Jets fans. How are y'all letting this happen? I thought New York City was the best city Dang, I don't know going after your own fan base your thoughts Going after your own fan base. I would almost always Tell you that's a no-go. That's that's never a good move especially in New York City, but this is a bad I feel like this was a good spirit it and I was surprised to see those numbers from Tariq as well Obviously one of our favorite players been in shut down city a ton So he deserves all the votes that he's getting but I would expect all the hype and sauce garden has been getting as well Been the top five pink in the in New York City in the Big Apple So I'm with you sauce get on these fans man And you can't once you delete a tweet you probably can't put it back up But I wouldn't you don't delete anything from Marissa will find it Marissa tracked down She's got receipts to the best you know, she's doing her thing. Okay. You mentioned shut down city I'm gonna get the all-red star burst and I'm gonna grab some flaming hot cheetos And we are in the car take me to shut down city. Let's go to shut down city You got a South Florida resident, but now he's out there in Duvall You got Tyson Campbell Targeted three times three PBU's in a big-time upset win over division rival Tennessee Titans so shout-out Tyson Campbell young corner who can have a very very good career in this league And then the guy that shares my namesake and he's also ready to switch positions So I had to make sure he got to the city at least one more time big-play slave just doing this thing He's been one of the best corners If not the best corner in NFL from week one up until now one of those engine that make that Eagles defense go So Darius slay is back in the city back in shut down city and then new first-time mayor JC Quietly having a special special year another special year His last year's rookie year was cut short by an injury, but JC horn has been a big time big time corner He's in Carolina. You know they that team obviously not making a bunch of waves until they may sneak up and win this division But JC horn, he's been playing some really good ball for that Steve Wilkes defense down there Carolina He's the mayor this week and shut down city JC horn And yeah, and I love the synergy here because I gave a lot of love to the Panthers He and that defense have those Panthers one One back of the buck for leaving the division and they never wrote games. They took down the sea how incredible What are they doing Wilkes after season, you know four and four now? I think they won three their last four You had Sam Darno. I mean he's not playing great got a couple wins under the center I think I think you take a long hard look you Steve Wilkes as this real-hand coach I'm after this season Sam Darnold has no Interceptions and two wins as a starter you love to see it for him They don't have Christian McCaffrey their entire offense and they're making it happen That's people want to Steve Wilkes. There's your guy, and if it's not in Carolina. I hope it's somewhere else Yeah, I would love to see that Carolina I also love Luke Keekley to come back on and be on that defensive staff as well beyond bigger Doing Who knows Luke is Luke's an unbelievable teammate unbelievable players so smart I think you walk in the door and be a defensive coordinator somewhere So I'm hoping to see him back on the sideline back in the game in some form or fashion We're watching here as Darius Butler puts together his coaching staff and you know you're manifesting Let me ask you this quickly. I told I brought this up to you several times and you sort of Do you not believe that we're cursed? Yo Okay, I'm not I'm not a big leave her curse, but yeah, yes something something is going on I didn't see a parallel yours out there. Yes, I did I grounded myself Don't tell me you quit you can't quit. I cannot quit I got to get back up in the batter's box and take another swing But yeah, it's something going on right now And we got to figure it out, but we got we got to turn the tide we got to turn maybe more push-ups will help Alright, thank you so much Darius Muller. We'll do work. Okay. We got to get rid of we got to get rid of the ghost Got to get rid of the ghost of the thing bad. Oh my god.

I mean, I I don't really you know, obviously we wish we would have finished that game, you know, I mean, but uh You know, I put my heart into this game put uh my everything into this game. So, um You know, I always try to do everything I can to help the team win and um, unfortunately, you know Knee got hurt in that game and um Yeah, everything transpired the way it did wasn't able to finish that game out. So That's heard that's very that hurt us that hurt us thought that hurt all of us that I was painful And I think there's many things that you know, we wish we could have done better throughout that game Make sure we secured the victory myself included so Yeah, you know, you gotta continue you gotta you have to just continue to work continue to be better Continue to learn continue to grow from mistakes. You know what I mean? And uh, so that's what we're gonna do So we you know I'm a saint's fan, you know that but the staff nobody's a saint's fan on my team But we have a group text And during that game we're all you know, we're so just so you know, like so fans of you so invested in watching you Kept the rock toe through rock. You look like you know, it was 2009 out there It was amazing and then you got hurt in the game We were all so deflated and we're all obviously rooting you on and hoping that your recovery is going well I don't like the updates that I'm reading online. What's the update What what updates are you getting mcl five four or five weeks? So I'm seeing I'm seeing your season's over and I don't want to believe that. Yeah. Yeah, um unless you know, we get into the playoffs and have a couple games in there then um, yeah, it's probably It's probably done right now for the regular season So the blessing of it is that you know, I don't have to have surgery I do have a you know, partial tear in the mcl And uh, the good thing about it is that it doesn't require surgery that it will heal on its own And I'll be back to full strength in about four to six weeks. So that is the blessing You know, I mean, um, it could have been a lot worse Usually mcl surgeries take a substantial amount of time And um, it's just a blessing a true blessing and I'm thankful that Um, I do not need surgery and that I'll be good here in about a month, you know Going to the off season healthy going to the off season. Um You know feeling good. So I'm I'm blessing. I'm thankful that I do not need surgery because anytime you have to go under that knife and get surgery Um, that that's just mentally physically emotionally. It's kind of a strain on you. So I'm definitely thankful that the Laura blessed me To at least not be able to have surgery And it's a beautiful thing and we're happy to hear that too. I think the questions are going to come I'm not going to ask you but the questions are going to come now if your season is in fact over And I think you guys have to win out and then there's a 20 chance I look that it's like a 0.9 chance of you guys making the playoffs the questions about your future are going to come I talked to taylor luan last week and we had this really open conversation. He's thinking about retiring He's mulling it over it doesn't sound at all Like you are like you very much want to play you very much want to bring a team of championship, right? Just to get that straight out there So nobody maybe this will prevent those questions from coming because it doesn't sound like you Like you're ready to leave the game or thought about your future in that regard at all No, ma'am. I have no desire to retire especially Um, not this at this moment. Uh, I have all the intentions on Preparing myself mentally physically emotionally to prepare myself to get ready for a team Hopefully that's the saints. Hopefully they bring me back. We'll see but um, if not, I'll be getting healthy I'll be working my butt off for whatever opportunity does arise and um So no retirement over here. Uh, so you guys will not not marking them the second ain't done Yeah, so um Yeah, so I got like, you know, it was a tough year, you know, uh know with injuries and Different things like that, but um, I do feel good playing ball when I'm out there moving around like you said, you know I mean in the game, you know, I felt good. I was running well. So, um I still love it with all my heart. So I put all my heart and soul into this game and um I still got a lot more to give still got a lot more to accomplish still got a lot more to do So no retirement in my future right now. I know and I know that even in these last four weeks You're gonna be in that in the team around the team on the group text around the building Just that energy that you have that's important in the locker room to that veteran presence And how you're always looking for the blessing in any other city like teams want that So i'm glad to hear that you're not you're not mulling that over Um, no mulling over here.

We got to have you do better than that red card All right, tom brady had a rough day against the niners defense on sunday as we all saw two interceptions And then after the game Okay, drae greenlaw asked brady to sign the ball. He intercepted in the game. Uh, what? That takes some nerve from greenlaw. No Hey, you only got one shot at it. You picked the goat off You got him at midfield. I mean, can you sign my pick ball for me dog? Like I'm not giving them a red on this and I give them yellow just you know caution You can't be doing this to any other quarterbacks You get one pass because it is tom brady got seven super bowls more than any franchise So you got one shot at it. You picked them off. You need them to sign the ball I'ma give them a yellow. We can't do this no more. It's a caution. You know, I mean, what do you make a tom brady's reaction there? I mean, does he feel honored? Does he feel disrespected? Is he offended? I don't know here. I mean Like if you if you fumble if you fumbled a ball And somebody came up to you and said Lord Jesus sign this sign this ball. Lord Jesus is right I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm saying f him F him get off me. That's what you're saying get off me man. That's what you do that to me Ain't gonna be no cars. No cars. I'm gonna be squabble. No, you're gonna get that Yeah, you're gonna be that guy's gonna be the tv in that mexico world club clip. I get it Okay, during during the seahawks panthers game Drew lock wanted a penalty flag Did you see this? Yeah, he's very enthusiastic. What do you make what is going on here? What do you make of this? I know he's asking for the flag But I mean the motion is a little you know a little low, you know, I mean so You know Just off the location of the motions of the movements. We don't give him a red But we know your intentions was for the flag and the yellow, but just off the visuals We're gonna give you the red Drew ski Just off the placement it matters where on the just off the placement right where on the field could have You could have been more off the hip with it. You ain't had to be Vertical and horizontal with it, you know, I mean, I didn't even realize that was why it was I did not I'm very just not I was not I did not okay this I did not say this is the clip that I wanted Just everyone's out there watching whoo giants punter Uh had a little difficulty with this one. Did you see this mark? What you got roll this Did he forget Which foot to use? Oh my goodness Dropped it man. He dropped the ball talk to me So he dropped it and he then punted. What is it? So he catches the snap Long hair hair flowing drops it then punts it What what happened man? He made a mistake He made a mistake. It's a red card. It's crucial because it's 14-0 at this moment We need you to pin the eagles back inside the five-yard line and you don't do it and it was a penalty It was a penalty for illegal kicking. So he already kind of got his so maybe we spare him There's a penalty. It was a penalty too. Yeah illegal kicking. Yes I think so. Yeah eagles got the ball back from where he kicked it Whoo We we're gonna let him live because He he has his pain and suffering already. So we're gonna let him live today. Conrad is gonna give him good We're gonna give him a yellow and tell him to caution himself to never do this again Because he's gotten a red already. He's gotten a red from his special teams coach He's gotten a red from his head coach. He's gotten a red from himself So we don't need to give him a red here on the up and Adam's show We could be merciful. That's nice of you a merciful. We love a merciful king. We do Yes, yes, you know, we don't have to always Drop the gavel on somebody we can we can give mercy and love and some grace Mark, do you think that argentina wins the world cup? Cool, I think those friends those boys over there in france. I think they tough I think that's a touch. I think that's a tough bunch a very talented bunch But if anybody could do it it is the goat himself messy in argentina So we shall see we shall see. I think it'll be argentina france final And maybe the goat can have some magic with the left foot Curve went in yeah, french, you know, they play some good defense and win one zero. We'll see We'll see I'm going for the mess. I'm not getting the we love you so much mark Yes, you are rooting for messy. We are rooting for you. There is a chance the saints can make the playoffs You got to win out though. So good luck against atlanta. Go get it done Who that baby who did it any chance is still a chance So that's right. All right, we love that you're feeling good avoided surgery mark ingram Everybody will be back on the up and atom show. Bye mark Peace All right, those don't lie mean put your butt down. Okay, that's what joe holder would be saying Out there in the heels though. That's right fatali carbon fatalia beans to you Oh my god, she could probably do a million push-ups compared to my two that I did In a written good form. I probably did one Hit the lights baby time to spotlight a player a performance somebody not getting enough attention We like to dish out attention here on the show I'm not sure there's a player who embodies what this segment is all about the davante smith this season the eagles Big news. They get a jib around. I talk about I talk about like every day. There is bulletons Whatever there so does everybody but you cannot underestimate what Smith has meant to philly's offense. Okay. He has been balling and we're going to give him some shine He had a catch. Oh, oh my gosh on fourth and seventh It is what sparks the eagles and led to the 49 22 below out. Look at the oh First though, you're just dying when you saw this Yes, amazing the concentration it must take to make a grab between two defenders I don't know I could have ever done it sounds looks looks insane He stays on his feet and then he takes in for 41 yard touchdown And the score on fourth down it is absurd and he's consistently made I think some of the best catches that we've seen in a league this year And no one's really talking about it Probably because of a jib round probably because of that probably because like It's hard to change your reputation in a league and like people thought what they thought about the last year But he's great And aj on sunday became the first eagles receiver to hit one thousand yards since jeremy macklin In 2014 davante, uh, he's on pace to join him as well So after not having a thousand-yard guy for like eight years philadelphia. It looks like philly It's gonna have two of them this year. So stop just talking about azure brown I'll give you a red card any yellow card and talk about davante and talk talk about how he's too skinny 16 in the NFL. He's amazing and he gets uh our lights and our shine and our
