On the Bears and disparage them about how they handle quarterbacks, I don't blame you. But since he has been arrived as a bear. Calebims has been spoon fed everything you can possibly need in terms of the front office, in terms of leadership, in terms of the general manager, including a very brash, young, very expensive coach that in years past, I promise you was a Chicago guy, they would have never hired Ben Johnson. They hired him for Caleb. They're drafting for Caleb. So can Ben Johnson make it work? I have no idea McCarthy. Sure, there's questions, but I actually think the biggest question of all is in his own Division A team he will play at least twice this year, and I think it's.

This whole dar of like, Wow, we have this quarterback who makes as much as a long snapper, and it's such a sweet little story and let's talk all about it and charm me in a mister irrelevant. That has all gone now, it's expectations now. It's like, that's all that sweet little montage we went through with you is done. Now we have to remember that there are only three quarterbacks in the NFL who threw more interceptions in brock Party last year, he was fifteenth in touchdown paces passed. He was seventeenth in completion percentage. That's all fine. It's like a car that's just sort of decent and gets you from here to there, but you don't care because the cars three you just have to make insurance payments.

This is you have to compete with those we showed those highest earning players. Those guys are Patrick Mahomes, who is the face of the league, Josh Allen, who's the MVP, Joe Burrow, who completely annihilated everyone last year, and then Trevor Lawrence, who was constantly looked at as you are the one who was promised. So this is like the green day time of your life, something unpredictable like that was a wonderful full phase for brock Perdy and he went to a Super Bowl.

It was like he made long Snapper money. It was absolutely incredible. They won the lottery in the draft with a seventh round pick. They had a few years to cash it in and they didn't do it because they lost to the Chiefs. So now it's like John Lynch has to go to work and build his team like most teams. Sorry, you have a really expensive quarterback.

Engaging you as a fan West because I'm a fan. I hate so much. I detest the state of paying quarterbacks. I think it is so stupid. I hate that there's not a middle class. I hate this attitude of well, you have to pay him, that's the going rate, and I understand that it is. But when I see that he is making money similar to Josh Allen and his name is brock perty it's ludicrous. He's a nice quarterback, don't get me wrong, I hate that there is no reasonable thing about how about we just pay him thirty one million out No, it has to be all the way up there or nothing. And that's where we're at. Only those teams Josh Allen Bengals. Those teams sometimes they can win because their quarterbacks that good. I don't know if the Niners is. I think this is very good news because there's one thing that is bigger than your team, than our teams, and it.

To the nineteen eighty eight men's Olympic basketball team, which is the last team to feature non professionals. You got Danny Manning and David Robinson and JR. Reid before they were pros guys. They took the bronze in the eighty eights. They lost in basketball. Not only lost, they lost to the Russians. Nay, they lost to the Soviets. The kamis the Reds going out there with those guys. Two different guys named Charles Smith, including the one who lost fifty seven straight layups against the Bulls, and legend has it is still shooting laups in Madison Square Garden. They had a guy who's literally name was Bimbo. And we said enough, we're not losing to anybody. We're gonna unleash the hounds and hit you with Ewing and Jordan and bird and magic. You send the amateurs there to protect the pros. We're gonna take a loss from somebody. We're gonna lose the Angolo, We're gonna lose the Madagascar.

Is this a win for the NFL or a win for the Eagles or a win for everyone? Man? It's man and womankind, society, planet Earth. It's also a huge surprise. I did not think it was going to go this way, and I was not alone. I thought all the momentum was going towards banning this thing, not a football play on and on and on.

I mean, I'm genuinely, genuinely happy that I think justice was served and they're going to get to keep it. And there's people who are whining about it and people are throwing fits. I like how the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are handling it. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, also in the NFC, also likely playoff team. They go out on social media and they start saying like, we're ready, can we bring a look at this? So they got Vita Vea and then they got Desmond Watson who's four hundred and seventy pounds, and it's like the tweet says it right there from Trevis Sikima. The league didn't ban the toush push, so the Bucks did it themselves. They're batting down the hatches, the backing down, whatever you want to call it.

Stop this thing, unlike the Packers who are now the bullseye of the tush push and who play the Eagles week ten at Lambo National Television, and I hope the Eagles run at fifty times and the only time they don't run is when they get to the goal line and headed to their new running back aj Dillon, who's an ex Packer. That's going to be the one to watch now because of this. Is the Chiefs dynasty still alive? Or did the Eagles end it? I mean they got They didn't just lose the Super Bowl. We saw Brady lose super Bowls. They got thumped. They did not show up for that Super Bowl. They didn't belong on the field that day. During the dynasties we've seen, you know, we know Montana never lost one, Brady lost them, but in every single one it was this dramatic thing. And then the one they actually were getting thumped, they came back from twenty.

This season, though, it's going to be different because I look to Nick Sirianni, who looks like a villain. He reminds me of actually Joel's performance and the Bear like. Some people just want to punch through the screen and destroy him. But Nick Sirianni now has a cause where they tried to take his weapon from him. And let's not forget Nick Sirianni also has bleep you money now on the sideline, he has job security, he has insecurity with the play, he has money. Nick Sirianni is going to be an absolute feast of content next year, and if it goes to making him a villain, I don't think he gives a damn. My takeaway is the Titans have zero primetime games, zero and I'd like to say I.
