Yeah, buddy, why would you be rooting against the guy? This is our country rooting for great things moving forward. That's all you can do, right, So happy Inauguration Day. And I hope you had Chiefs, Commandos, Eagles, Bills sort of weekend, some great great football over the weekend. Some UFC three eleven came original and we got to talk about it.
Yeah.
Man, I do want to compare, Like I said, how weekend people treat studios, not just here. We worked in radio twenty years. You do know what are you doing over there, Bob Barker, you were at Kay Rock. I have to hold my my micro and my hand today. I know the labor involved in this. Every radio station in the history of radio or television, any broadcast facility, the part timers. They use the wall as a backboard for their drink. So every radio studio in America has stains on one wall in the studio. He's not lying, and it can be the nicest studio. It's ruined within a few months. And my other thought is, you know, when you go to someone else's house, you try to be considered, but you'll see someone drop a potato chip and they'll kick it under the fridge instead of picking it up. That's how people that aren't here every day treat plays. It's a sign of one's character. If you drop a nice cube bridge, do you kick it under the fridge or do you pick it up. I try to pick it up, and sometimes if it's slippery, then I'll kick well. Like I said, it's a sign of one's character. I always reach over and pick it up. Sometimes I'll throw in a plant. Refresh that bad boy. I'll throw it in my dog. He's a little ball to in a plant. I'll throw it into theay sink. It shows the type of person you are. If you kick it under the sink, it means you don't care and you're self centered. You don't care about anyone but yourself. Look at that dep what's going on, buddy.
I'd take great offense to your weekend people part timing blanket, considering that I was in that exact chair from five to eight Eastern time yesterday, and so you generalizing us weekend people as people who are just cavalier.
Dan, you're here six days a week. I think you're more full time than anyone in this building.
That's how I look at it. I look at it. I'm saying, Dan, when you were here and you've been here.
For fifty somebody did pour a drink on the console this past weekend.
Wow.
I would not name any names. I angered. Did they gnaw off this microphone? I enough complaining.
We got football talking about, we got something else planning. Just explain say it like it's it is. It's just how it is.
That's all.
And d B good to see you, Mane, good to see you Guysb's on your updates. We got Danny g super producing at eight seven seven ninety nine studio. Yeah, and we got Iowa Sam on the ones and twos. It's definitely not one hundred degrees in this studio. Having some issues with the cooling and heating and the building. Hey, if only one MIC's working, I don't mind going back to back with Rich. Like I said, we're like eighties rock stars. We'll rock that mic. We rock the mic on the daily. Hope you brush your teeth today. I did so. I try to do that every day. Yeah yeah, not just Martin Luther king fulle brush your teeth today, not just on inauguration days.
Every day. I did that.
So, thank you guys for being here. I hope you enjoyed the weekend. Now, before we get into things that made you go hmm, all your observations from the games this weekend, or maybe a movie you saw, something you did, whatever made you say hmmm.
I know, Rich, you wanted to talk.
About Lamar Jackson being in a group of people in a category that you just don't want to find yourself in and in life and especially in sports. You know me, I love to talk about little windows. I'm going to talk about the little window we all have for opportunity in life. But before we get to that exact thought, I was happy to see Lamar Jackson not want to point fingers at Mark Andrews.
Take a listen to Lamar after the game. It's a team effort.
You know, He's been busting his behind making plays happened out down Ffield for us, came up short. And like I've been saying all season, every time we have a situations like this, turnovers play a factor. Pennanties play factor today, Well tonight to turnover K had it, you know, And that's why we lost the game because as you can see, moving the ball wonderfully.
Is hold on.
I'm sorry for my language annoying to it.
And you can't expect anything more from your leader than accountability. And that's really how you have to view it. It wasn't his fault. It's a lasting impression. He should have caught it. Don't lay a finger on Andrew's butterfingers. A bad fumble, but he wasn't the only guy that fumble. Yeah, and again there was so many moments throughout the game. It just doesn't come down to that. Turnovers absolutely right, turnovers not only your favorite Sunday morning little treat, but the name of the game.
I really think Lamar Jackson nailed it right there.
We all need to view things from that perspective and keep that in mind when watching these games. It's not his false a team game, but man, it was a big, big moment to not catch the ball.
If you go back and look at the replay of the two point conversion drop, Yeah, his bad footing had a lot to do with mishandling that ball because of the slick surface.
Yeah, you saw something slip there, but a tough loss and I think handled really well from Lamar Jackson in that moment. You got to ask yourself, though, this is where I want to go to those little windows in life, in dating, at work, every aspect of your life, you have windows of time to really get to the next level or couplish your goal. I know guys like Gary Vaynerchuck on Instagram and No TikTok's back, they'll tell you that you could start your own business and become an entrepreneur at eighty if you want far and few between. Does someone peak at eighty years old unless they're a cast member of the Sopranos, unless you're Polly Walnuts and your big gig came as an old goombag gangster at sixty years old.
He was a real gangster before the show, so I think research.
He's not old by any means, by any means, but he's turned twenty eight six and one, fourteen and two eleven and five, ten and seven, thirteen and four, twelve and five since he entered the league, three and five in the playoffs, and winning season after winning season after winning season, And you got to credit the Baltimore Ravens were continuously putting a good product out there. But as you love to tell me that the forty nine ers window you know, may be closing. Can't say the same about everyone that after years of just falling short, like eventually it's like yeah, time.
See.
I don't see that as much with the Ravens because they got Henry now and they have more weapons, and it seems like they got better this year. And I don't see Lamar Jackson losing any steam. I think this is a simple matter of turnovers losing the game, and we saw a lot of that over the weekend.
You can't expect to beat.
These teams, these high caliber teams when you're having that many turnovers. But I mean, everybody has an expiration date, Rich, I mean, you don't have all the time in the world to make it happen. I just don't think it's the case for them. I'm just saying, if you're at a job and you get passed over for that promotion one time, it's like, oh, you know, maybe next time you get passed over for that promotion time after time after time, Like you're, uh, Jason Bateman in Horrible Bosses, Like you know, you're you're about to stand up thinking.
Like and the promotion goes to Covino and about knock Covino.
Eventually you'll be like you no, no, maybe this maybe it's just never.
Gonna happen, right, That's what do you do in that case? You find another job.
I'll be honest, A lot of women find themselves dating a guy who's reluctant to pull the trigger and get married, and she's like you, like, I think.
Is it ever gonna happen?
You know?
Like you got to credit the defenders who are taking boxing lessons. I don't know how they have precision accuracy nowadays? Are they hitting the speed bag? What are they doing for target practice? Because these defenders they're not even going in for the tackle half the time. Half the time they're not in position to make the tackle, but they're able to hit a moving target. That's her key jerky juke back and forth to be able to knock the ball out the way the defenders are honestly, you also need to commend that. So we could say, yo, Mark Andrews, how did you drop it at the fifty yard.
Line like that? Right again? His terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.
Or you could say, man, these defenders are getting next level with their with their target practice.
We call that a TJ. Watt swat. You know, it's not easy to hit a moving target.
But you know what, I'll give you an analogy Stars Colin style. You know how in baseball, old fans the boomer fans are like, hey, we're gone through the days of people met in three hundred and we realized that you'd rather a guy that bats two twenty, but if he hits doubles and home runs.
So if a guy has a good right hook, that's what you're looking for nowadays.
But I'm saying because it's not even a Watt swann anymore, it's a it's a left hook. What I'm saying is, you know, old heads would say, no one wraps and tackles anymore. And the way baseball play are being conditioned now, Yo, home run trajectory, doubles, extra base hits, home runs forget Batten three ten, It doesn't matter if he beout three ten hit forty home runs. Secondaries and defenders are taught turnovers more important. So when you say, how do these grown as professional athletes not rap and tackle the way you were taught maybe as a kid, it's because the game has changed. And after the game too, when he was taking the heat off of Andrews, he was saying, this comes down to turnovers, and he is also to blame when it came to that. He was sloppy the first half and he was impeccable the second half, but.
Just tough to watch. I feel bad for him.
And to answer your question, Rich when you're that good and when you're I think he's gonna win another MVP. I don't think they're out of it yet. How many chances will the Ravens get? Have no idea what? Let's feel like they have to work on holding the ball? Thanks really three time likely MVP? Right, and he's only twenty eight, so there's a lot of time. I'm just saying, this team with Derrick, Henry, Lamar Jackson, Mark Andrews, you know, the core of this team, you know, to get back to this part of the season is hard to make the playoffs and get to the second or third round. It's not easy, So you got to ask yourself. We talked about this before, Danny. Do you remember, like a year ago, we had a conversation about who of these quarterbacks will win a Super Bowl?
Yeah, and the list was long and then very short. Yeah. We not everybody win. Yeah, we listed them off.
I remember doing this because I was trying to prove a sarcastic point, because we're like Joe Burrow, Oh, yeah, I'm sure he'll win one. Josh Allen, Oh, he'll definitely win one. Lamar Jackson, Oh he'll win one. Jalen Hurts Brock Party.
And we went down the.
List and I'm like, yo, we just said about ten different guys are going to win a Super Bowl in their career. Try two of those guys, because you could name more great quarterbacks that never won. And I'm not saying Holmes is Michael Jordan, but we always talk about how Michael Jordan prevented a hell of a lot of NBA stars from winning in the nineties. Patrick Ewing still having nightmares about it, Karl Malone's cries about it. John Stock the way I saw it, though, Rich was man, the mutual respect between Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen. Now they're gonna go They're gonna go down in history as two guys that competed for it and battled for it. And we see Josh Allen coming out on top yesterday. You know, maybe he'll win it all, maybe he stops Mahomes from being that guy to three pete. But I saw that as We're gonna see more of those battles in the future, and we might see and I think we will see Lamar Jackson on the flip side of that, maybe next year, maybe the year after, but you're gonna see that for a few more years to come. I don't think it's about windows with them, Yeah, but it's not every time you go thirteen and four, fourteen to three, twelve and five and your fan base is like, this is it. But when you got superstars like Lamar and Alan, you're gonna continue building around those guys. You know, when we say those things about your forty nine ers, I don't think brock Perdy's does the same level of God. I don't think so either, right, I mean he's not, but there's stars on that team that are that level. True but they're aging and they're getting hurt, and they're not born the same way they were born. I think the Ravens have a little more time and like I said, you'll see them back again next year, just like this, and maybe Lamar Jackson wins it. Maybe they learned something from that, maybe they counteract all these punches being thrown at it. The I'm not gonna ball out, but maybe Andrews has a little bit of redemption in him. But you know, to win even one is difficult when you think about you know, you think about guys that were there often and again, if you want to make analogy to another sport, do you remember when the Atlanta Braves won their division? What felt like it felt like fifty years in a row, when they had Gleb and small Smat and it felt like every year was like lock him in for ninety five to one hundred wins. Honestly, it might as well have been twenty five years that the Braves just dominated and they came away with one World Series nineteen.
Yes, Andrew Jones, I mean the crime dog get points to that, right, I mean, like that's.
So many great players, David Justice for a lot of it, so I want what Rich is getting. That is every year you don't do it is just you're the clock is ticking because you look at the NFL and you say guys.
Like Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees.
Guys that were there year after year after year. Tom Brady's an anomaly. Patrick Mahomes is an anomaly. These guys are just it's silly. Lamar Jackson, for as great as he is, is he going to be one of those guys that doesn't win at all. That's really what you're getting at. Until Peyton manning one with the Broncos, which you could argue the defense carried him all that greatness, and he had one in Indianapolis.
It's not easy.
I tend to agree with you, Covi. You know, the Ravens just need to play a clean game. That's it in the postseason because they're two there are two most recent playoff losses now a total of six turnovers. And you know, Lamar to me is still the most exciting quarterback to watch. I'm not a fan of the Ravens, but just to watch Lamar play in that final drive very exciting, and I want to see him make it to a Super Bowl.
I agree the station have easily won that. But I look at Von miller recovery. You know, there's so many opportunities to Andrew the Andrews fumble, like there's too many turnovers against the Bills.
Dude, come on, co But look.
From the time Lamar Jackson was twenty two in twenty eighteen till now, Dan Byer, the records are great, fourteen to two, eleven and five, they missed the you know that one off year then ten and seven, thirteen and four, twelve and five, Like, you gotta figure out how to get the next step.
Yes, and every opportunity is not the same. You're not the same team every year. What about if they dodged injuries which years past it had injuries on the offensive line that would help them. This year everything was in place. That's kind of like how I feel like with the Lions a little bit. But I know you're talking about the Ravens, But you have to take advantage when it's your year, because there is no guarantee that everything is going to go your way the next year.
In fact, it's very likely that it won't.
Right, Yeah, healthy Henry, Yes, absolutely, that's true. The only time in my life I can remember, and I'm sure there's another dB, but I remember when the Royals fell short in the World Series and they went back the next year and won it. So many times when you fall short, the sentiment is we'll be back, and it's like, the truth is, you're likely not going to be back. Matt Ryan twenty eight to three thought he was gonna win a Super Bowl. The Falcons fans. The only I'm not disagreeing with you, I actually am agreeing with you. The only factor here that separates all your other examples though, is Lamar Jackson. He's so good to count you can't really ever count him out. But you know the magic, as Dan Bayer said, because I mean, how do you discerbar with Dan Bayer? There's something magical or and health plays an issue my two teams. This is very close to me, so I'll speak on behalf of myself as a fan. I know for a fact there's no way the Mets could duplicate the magic from last year. They didn't even win the World Series, but there's no way they could duplicate that. Lindor pet Alonzo crazy magic.
And you can't do it without Pete Alonzo not gonna happen and the forty nine ers.
You guys all bust my chops when I'm you know, how many times could the Niners go deep in the playoffs and just not get the job done before a year like this happens where injuries come into play and they win six games. All right, So we asked you Fox Sports Radio Nation before we get into things that make you go hmmm, Lamar Jackson, was this his window of opportunity because they had so many things going right? This was their year, they had health, this was their time. Or do you say what Josh Allen said, This guy's are You'll be the most talented guy to ever be on a football field once he figures out how to keep it a clean game. Yeah, they'll win one eventually. You know who was close a million times and only one one? Brett farf Like there's people that had envy. I believe Brett Farva was also a three time MVP around that time, and just it's sealing. The deal is so tricky and I wish Ravens fans luck and Dan Byer. It was great to point out the Lions too, because what was the saddest loss that one? Lions by far man, and if I felt great for Jaden Daniels and you felt great for Josh Allen. But man, what a what a week ass weekend for Lions fans and Ravens fans because that was a lot of people's pick for the Super Bowl Lions and Ravens.
Yeah, oh my, so bad.
I I of course didn't rub it in on any of the Ravens a Lions fans that I know, right, because it was so tough, like, oh man.
I mean there's one here I'd like to Yeah, we've.
Been joking on the air for like five weeks now that it's going to turn out to be the Chiefs Eagles Super Bowl.
It better believe it is. Better believe it.
Three people, Let's go, Ill, let's go your thought man, some great, great football.
Let's stay on the show until tomorrow.
Patrick, I know, but how exciting was it compared to last week? Especially Rich you talked about that on Patreon today. Compared to last week's games, man, this week's games were next level awesome.
We hope you enjoy it.
For a minute, you thought like the Rams are gonna win on a last minute drive, but you.
Fell just short.
And you know, McVeigh was you know, he coaches the ass off. But you know, we'll take your feedback. We're going to get into things that made you go, hmm, football and the snow. Why is it just so much more fun to watch because we played it on video games? That's why it's just like like Jalen Hurd, even when there was even though it was a little flurry or something, it's like, oh, that's.
Just visually fun to watch.
And you know you questioned the footing, but it didn't seem to bother Saequon Barkley. But before we go too far down, you know, we were talking about Lamar Jackson. I kept calling him jokingly, Samuel Lamar Jackson, Samuel L.
Jackson.
I don't know if you saw this AI thing, but they created like who would play these guys in movies or who they resemble like Joe?
Whose energy do they have?
As Macaulay Culk. Yeah, I've seen them all. Yeah, when do you see a young Samuel L. Jackson in a Raven's uniform? He might as well be Lamar Jackson in a movie or something like that. Again, he's too old now, but you could see he's the same sort of vibe, same sort of look.
But this AI thing. Has everybody seen this at this point?
Right?
It went around.
I can't tell you how many people sent this to me. So when thirty five different people have sent it to me, I imagine it got around to everybody.
They have these AI.
Generated you know who does this NFL superstar remind you of? And a lot of them are pretty accurate. You're like, well, yeah, that's pretty good.
I like that.
So it did make me say hmmm, because I never thought of that before. Let's go to Terry in San Diego. Terry, Hey, Terry, what was your observation from the weekend?
My friend?
I don't know.
Why they put a rookie announcer on the Lions game that Tom Brady and Kevin Burkhart. They wouldn't shut up. I had to turn the sound off. They literally were having a contest of who could talk more.
I love I love Kevin Burkhart as a broadcaster, and I don't know why people think Tom Brady's so bad. He's not the most polished he's but like, does it really bother you that much?
I've never watched the game.
It does announce the only guy I'm with you Rich, But man, it's split down the middle.
It really is.
But Danny, do you ever watch a game where you're like, I can't stand to me.
Either, I don't know. It doesn't bother me. Not often.
There is a time or two where they're talking too much for me, and I'm like, okay, I get it, Like they'll repeat some thoughts over and over, but I don't know that particular broadcast didn't didn't bother Well.
Here's the thing too, with Tom Brady. He's gonna get better. We always talk about that, right, Yeah, we talked about it on the show last week. He's incredible with his work ethic. You know, he's driven to get better and maybe even be the best. But when you hire a guy like Tom Brady, he's a polarizing guy.
Right.
For as many people that like him, there are people that dislike him no matter what. So you're watching him with an already I hate this guy default setting in your brain, so you're gonna hate him every time he opens his mouth. That's the little caveat with a Tom Brady in the booth sort of thing. You don't have an opinion of him already, Not everybody loves him. It's very reflective of politics, right, because people are passionate about hating a team the way they are passionate about hating politicians. Right, So let's say you're a not a fan of President Trump, even if he does something good, you're really not gonna give him ready, And because Tom Brady probably beat all your teams, you already hate the guy. So I do understand, and I do want to say this though, as far as Kevin Burkhart, our very first TV appearance as a show was with Kevin Burkhart on S and Why. We had made other like talking head appearances on TV, but promoting our show is with Kevin Burkhart, and we worked with him twenty thirteen twenty fourteen when he was a Mets sideline guy. So to see his career flourished the way it has has been cool to watch. But I will say this from my own personal experience of just watching how he operates, I'm not sure I met anyone who had as much bde as that guy. His strut and the way he carried himself was just so confident and so cool, yeah, and so likable.
Move over, Nick Foles.
Seriously, you know he really was that guy, So I'm not really surprised and I think he's one of the great. So wherever Tom Brady lacks and he will get better. I feel like Kevin Burkhardt's making up for it no matter what. That's just my opinion. Everybody's gonna have theirs.
And it's also Tom Brady.
So while he isn't as polished, he's still given perspective from a guy that's done more than anyone else.
In the NFL.
Why are we counting on him to be polished his first year and he's the analyst. Kevin Burkhart's is as polished as you could be. You're asking the color commentator for too much. He's not supposed to be Kevin Burkhart. Kevin's got that on lockdown, no doubt. All Right, other observations, I thought the interesting thought was all the teams this past weekend that gained more yardage lost that, which was just one of those sentiments that how do you operate in the red zone, how do you hold onto the ball and not turn it over? How do you, you know, eat up the clock and keep the ball away from the other teams. It really is a matter of there was a point where some of these games felt like, Wow, this team is playing just as good as the other team, but.
The score is not showing that.
Yes, some really great competitive games, which is right, and it wasn't reflective of that. The stat went that the four teams that out gained the other team all lost. Another takeaway, I'll just say it out there to open it up, because I'm sure someone's gonna mention it or have more to elaborate on it. But the sentiment and feeling and social media outcry of the chief still getting calls.
And you know.
The the bigger the stage gets, the more obvious and more absurd, it seems, because so many eyes are on.
Come on, are you serious? You've seen this montages.
It's golf getting hit, Lamar Jackson getting hit, Stafford, every quarterback getting hit, and then they show up smashed.
Yeah, he got popped on.
And you see Mahomes two really bad calls. They don't even hit him and they get the call in fact, the two defenders.
Make and then the little tap on his back.
And it's so so evident and noticeable. Again on this big stage, it's like, of course, this is not a good look. You know what, We're gonna take all your feedback, Jimmy we'll get to you next and everyone else on hold things that made you go hmmm, divisional weekend.
But let's go to Dan Buyer for a enough day. What's up, baby, guys.
The big news other day is Ben Johnson will be the new head coach of.
The Chicago Bears. His multiple reports.
Say he will leave the Lions after three seasons as their offensive coordinator. In fact, the NFL Network says that Johnson is expected to bring Dennis Allen, the former Saints head coach, he would come over as the Bears defensive coordinator.
Honestly, I know we're not Trump, right, that's obvious. I'm not the president of anything. I'm the president of my own fan club. You have your own phone, But can you imagine can you imagine going out, remember somewhere important and your wife or girlfriends show up and they were in a Hamburgler outfit where you be like, ah hm, should I put on my Ronald mcdonald' shootes. I mean, we're not into high fashion. Maybe that's a team here break. Like I said, there's a time and place like Halloween. I don't know, and that's no hate. In fact, I congratulate our forty seventh president of the United States. But that is one of the stories today. Our outfit, Millennia Trump's outfit.
Every time I say, every time I leave the house, I always look at my wife and be.
Like, is this so okay? Right?
I always run it by someone, especially as Hamburger's a bit of a bold choice Hamburgers.
Yeah, But no one on her team said.
You know, well, they're probably going to make lots of like jokes and means about you.
You probably should.
You know how the world works, you know how look TikTok's back, right, You know people are gonna make all these jokes about it.
They would not be had a little bit. They would not be looking at me. They would be looking at my husband. So funny, that's funny. I like my hat. I have to go to the innaguration now. Now again, she's a beautiful woman. Of course that's not the point.
But it did make me say, hmmm, well, I mean this day I'll defend Donald. Your wife or girlfriend says, how does his look? Are you ever gonna say?
Not? Good? No, there is there, it is there. I know. It's like a villain of a Pilgrim movie.
It already looks like the villain from Raiders and star It already looks like an SNL skit.
Right, Oh you know that's gonna happen. It's coming, I bet you though.
If you look online and social media, people are gonna start buying that hat. Yeah, absolutely, because every time there's some items don't observ Are you running to the storted by Hulk Holgan beer just because Donald said so?
But I'll tell you.
I'll tell you what people say political by the way, Yeah, who cares? That's an observation, dude. Look on your social media feed. Half the people I love in my life are like, greatest day in the world. The other half of the people in my life are like pray the America. Like everyone makes crazy, everyone's crazy. That's Covino says. We're coming a pizza party of two. I'm a taco party of one. Record you don't want to go to my pizza party now now you've been out of that. Thanks, We're gonna go to your feedback the weekend of divisional playoffs, National championship tonight. Your observation in the world of sports and entertainment. I got two Coick entertainment ones and we'll get back to football. If you watch Silo on Apple TV the finale, and Kevino says, I'm not doing a good job selling Silo.
You gotta say Silo, Bro, Dude, I'll sell it. Ready, ready, I'll tell you how to.
I'll show you how to sell something to really get my attention, dude. Lots of great games over the weekend, right, take your pick, lots of great games.
No game was my favorite over the weekend. Gerald's Game.
Bro.
And I know what you're thinking, what's Cherald's game? Erld.
Some movie I saw on Netflix that made me say what. It didn't even make me say hmm, it made me say what Gerald's game?
Bro.
I tried Gerald's Game. You try to teach everyone how to sell something, dude. Yeah, that was my point. I watched some movie. It was supposed to be like the Stephen King thriller that's on Netflix, so I'm like, I'll check it out before I fall Asleep. Came out in twenty seventeen. Never heard about it.
Put it on. I couldn't even make it through because it was freaking me out.
I'm serious. OK, all right, that's how you sell I sold Penguin.
I sold Penguin like that for a month to you guys, we watched finally pengoodro.
B peg wind bro Gerald's game.
Bro.
If to appeal to a guido a game tonight, hold on, you're watching the game tonight. Let me sell it to a guido in Jersey. Yeah, your National championship, Bro.
Nah, the only game I care about. Gerald's Game. I'm sorry.
Another observation, I would have been one of those buffoons that lost money over the weekend. You see the Trump meme crypto coin, it was like a god buck or sell my friend.
My friend hit me up.
When it was like thirteen bucks and he's like, dude, I just put a little money for the hell of it. That thing went up to almost like fifty bucks, and then by morning it was back to a dollar. So there were people in the crypto world. They were like, yeah, let me let me buy this coin. Disaster pumping up, pumping dumb.
For sure.
We're gonna have a lot more football to talk, so I'm gonna throw some UFC three eleven out there. More and more of these names are getting impossible. Just look at that card and try to try to pronunciate any of the names that fought.
Over the week You we should do a UFC spelling BAB.
But UFC DEA, UFC three eleven came original get it, and I was down enough to watch it. Get It, Get It three eleven, UFC three eleven. But Maha Chev was victorious over Mikano. Some good fights over the weekend. But in other fight observations and inauguration observations, I don't know if you saw John Jones was invited, He was there, But you know who was rolling together today, the Paul brothers and Connor McGregor. Now they looked like they were buddy chummy at the inauguration, but I think they're probably working out a deal. Yeah, there was to talk of Jake versus Connor. No Logan Logan versus Connor. Yeah, so I would say, hey, if they're paling around like that, I think they're probably also talking business and negotiating for the casual fight fans who like a spectacle, but for the actual fight fans. I hope you enjoyed your three to eleven over the weekend. Now, another observation I made was just how good Jaden Daniels is. Now we know that already, but here's what you're hearing, and it's not what I was hearing prior to maybe this week last week, there's not only he may have had the greatest rookie season ever, but I think it's easy to say that he's having the greatest rookie quarterback season ever, right or both?
What are your thoughts on it?
I mean, have you seen a guy as poisonous electric as he's been playing in his rookie.
Season unless you're CJ.
Stroud got that attention and then you know, not that it died down, didn't make it as far. I find him to be so much more well his game, his game. They played different games, right, they're both great, but his game is so visually exciting and easy to understand.
This dude is just right and so fun to watch.
And I've heard people on this channel, people on TV my buddy's greatest rookie to ever do it, And I'm like, wow, that's that's pretty Uh. Those are some pretty big words when you think about all the greats that have stepped in, especially at quarterback now, but it makes me say hmmm, and it makes me want to watch the guy. No rookie quarterback has ever won a Super Bowl. Now, you might say the way Ben Roethlisberger your Championship game.
Yeah, year two.
So when you think about second year quarterbacks that got to the big game, Warner, Brady, Roethlisberger, Wilson, Jaden Daniels is one game away. And I'm not saying the Eagles didn't look good because it looks like Sakwon Barkley at any given moment could just bust over a fifty plus yard run. But you know what made me say hmm about him? Made me happy for him to have found a place where he gets to flourish.
You saw how excited he was.
He even said that again to be there, to get this opportunity meant the world to him. You saw his excitement in the end zone. But I saw Odell Beckham Junior post about him over the weekend too. Did you happen to see him?
I saw that saying how you're so happy for him.
Saying like, yeah, he was one of the nicest, coolest dudes to ever strap him up. So when you have your peers and your colleagues, other great players speaking that highly of you, I think that says a lot about who you are. We know how good he is, right, we see that, But it seems like he's also really dedicated and good dude all around, which makes you root for him even more just as a player.
You can hate the Eagles what you want.
Do you remember when we were filling in for the Dan Patrick Show. What was the last holiday we filled in for him? Was it Christmas?
Probably right around the holidays afterwards? New Years around there.
Yeah, And you guys said pick one quarterback if your life was on the line, to lead you down the field for a winning touchdown. Remember who I chose? No, but I was you guys took the big names I chose. In my defense, I surprised you a little because I said, even though he's a rookie, Jayden Daniels look so poised. And that's the that's the one thing that noticeably yes, the way he just calmly and he's.
Having fun out there. It's like these are high pressures.
High pressure moments. He just looks like he's playing football in the backyard. That really stands out.
People say that about other players, but I could really see that with this dude. Like I said, his game is easy to understand and it's exciting to watch. You don't have to know a lot about football to watch him and appreciate Wow, this dude. That dude, Yeah, that guy, he's really good that you could see that. So Danny g rewinder forgets to when we filled in, you made a good call. I don't remember who I think I'm not, you said Daniels, I said Josh Allen and Kevino said Tommy DeVito A.
You know, I'm pretty was always prisoner of the moment.
I mean.
I was big dreaming. Let's say, what's up to Jimmy and Jimmy? What was your observation? You really fun divisional weekend in the NFL?
What's that on, Jimmy?
Y know what's up at the Monos? I can't wait for you guys to get a three hours time squad. Y'all need that extra hour for sure.
Man, I just got to say, I need.
To preface it.
I'm a Texans fan. I'm not hating on the Chiefs at all.
Dude.
I think that they are a great team. I'm kind of rooting for history outside of Daniels for sure. But my thing that made me say hmmm, because I don't the Texans would not have won that game. They shot themselves in the foot too many times. But those calls were terrible. What made me say, hmmm, is why how is it that we can have replay as this call down and stop the play and get somebody out with the dank has a concussion, reverse a call on if it's an actual catch or not, things like that, But you can't have one for you can't have them help out to see if somebody was actually hit from the quarterback position.
I mean, it's going to change the NFL.
You know they've talked about that in all the games, saying how there's got to be a way to be able to shame some of these calls. And listen, you don't want to get tied up. Remember when we did the pass interference saying and it was so subjective like with this arm toutrument. Didn't that was I agree we should not be having pass interference calls reviewed like we did. It was a failed experiment. But if some guy is accused of roughing the passer late hit something, that is a fifteen year penalty. And a lot of times these things coincidentally happen on like a third and long and it goes from a turnover on downs or a punt to yeah, now it's the drive continues and you can see.
How it could get called incorrectly in real time because like when the two Texans helmets hit, they heard helmets hitting, they see Mahomes down, so the flag goes. But you're right, a quick replay on that you would see that it wasn't a headshot on my.
Homes and anything.
It makes the Chiefs more hate herble, and I feel it takes away from their game a little bit because they're a great team without that. They don't need that, you know what I mean, They're already hard to beat, and now you're just giving extra advantage to the Chiefs. I think that's just a bad look all around. I think you saw, I think, but that game was Buck and Akman right, and I think every announcer on all four broadcasts, all you know, all the A.
Teams were out.
I think every game there was the sentiment of, yeah, we need to clean this up and fix the replay process when it comes to these calls, because much like baseball, maybe it's a separate category, like it's not a it's not a challenge for a first down or a catch. Maybe there's another category like not the red flag, like a blue fleg something where you could challenge like that wasn't a penalty or you know, you ever see a play reviewed and they can't call the face mask because it wasn't originally called.
There has to be the ability to didn't that happen over the weekend?
With?
There has to be an.
Ability to go back and see a play and be like, well, we got it wrong. If we're correcting everything else, why can't we correct this? And I was talking to the guys I was watching the game with. I was hanging with some of my daughter's friend's dads, and we're saying, it's so subjective, right, because if Mahomes is tiptone along the sideline trying to get one more yard, if a guy hits him as he's about to step out, versus a guy tackling Lamar Jackson and tackling him with a play falls out of bounds, Like, it's so tricky for these refs and especially here in the crowd go nuts to not grab that flag.
And I think it has to be reviewable.
Comino, I agree, things that made you go hm over the weekend, Any observation you may have made will take one more phone call now, Yeah, say what's up to dougg.
Hey, what's going on, guys. I don't have any whoms, but I do want to say a couple of things. Burrow played in the Super Bowl when he was a rookie, lost to the Rams. That was his rookie year, right, I don't think it will.
Second year. Yeah, yeah, I mean impressive.
Marino lost the Super Bowl in his second year as well. Look, I'm also draw a comparison you guys were talking about Lamar Jackson earlier. Draw a comparison of his career so far of that of Dan Fouts, who was a quarterback for the Chargers, played in a you know, two AFC championships, lost, lost several other playoff games. And you know, I know Lamar still has. He's got a few more years, maybe five, six, seven years left, good years left. He so far, his his career is drawing similarities to that of Dan Fouts.
Yeah. I mean, listen, there's there's greats that never win in all sports. Yeah. I hope that's not in his future. I like Lamar jacks Right.
Let me let me ask you this all around the room. You're allowed to pick three quarterbacks that have never won to win a Super Bowl?
Who do you think deserves it? In your mind?
Of all the thirty two starting quarterbacks in the NFL, you can't pick someone that want already obviously, would you say, you know, in fast forward twenty years when we're you know, you know, about to start collecting Social Security, like it would feel.
Wrong if they didn't. It would feel wrong if they did it. You had to pick up three. Yeah, I got, it's easy, answered, I mean, but I think once you say easy, I'm gonna name others.
Oh, Lamar Jackson, we already established that it would feel wrong if he went down the Marino path, like, man, I can't believe that greatness and he never won a Super Bowl. Lamar Jackson, You can't see Lamar Jackson went out. Josh Allen is great, and the other and the other dude balling back and forth and playing a completely different game than Jackson, just so fun to watch. And Joe Burrow, he just seems too good to not win one. These are three AFC quarterbacks that every year they have to not only compete with each other, but with Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert, you know he's not in great favor right now. He had a terrible postseason game. But now you're saying Justin Herbert's not gonna win one? No, right, I mean you heard what Kevin Washington called him, justin Sherbert? Yeah yeah, And then Rob Parker said, I love Sherbert.
I mean people are.
Debating you know that he sucks. I'm not going that route. I don't put him in that category.
Cove, do you think your boy Baker Mayfield will ever get to the big Game? I don't. I don't think so, man, I would love to. What about you just name these three quarterbacks? So you were leaving off Jaden Daniels. Huh?
I mean you said, right now, who's more deservings? This is his rookie season. It's crazy that we're even talking about it.
Is this deserving or exciting? Rich? Because we got two youngsters in CJ. Stroud and Shaden Daniels.
I say, the way I interpreted what you said, when the when the record books are written, it would be a shame to see these dudes not win one.
That's uh. That is how I angled the question.
But you could also take it and say, in twenty years from now, when we're, you know, like I said, older men, who would you be like, oh, man, they never won one?
Because again, you could add CJ. Stroud, Jade and Daniels. Caleb Williams.
I mean, he didn't have the greatest rookie campaign, but he's been a new head coach.
And Ben Johnson and an offensive guy like that. Who's to say Caleb Williams doesn't.
Yeah, but we haven't in the NFL yet, so I would say I'm pretty I'm pretty confident in those three names as far as being high kyliber proven dudes in the NFL. I mean, all right, so do you think Jared GoF Win's one? I don't you think Detroit Window's done? No, I'm not rooting against Kauf, but those are by three?
Who are you three?
I think Burrow is the number one guy for me because I listen, they missed the postseason this year. But I feel like Joe Burrow somehow, there's just something about him where I feel like he has that that winning DNA or something about him. I could see Lamar and Lamar or Josh Allen. My bet is that one of them doesn't win, and that would be really sort of a bummer.
Right.
That's why I thought it was really big of Lamar and Jackson to say he he's rooting for Josh Allen to win it all. He's like, go out there and win it, win it all, man, do something.
I'm rooting for.
So basically, what you're saying could be not because you know what, They're always going to be compared together, and if Josh Allen has one and Lamar Jackson doesn't, Josh Allen gets the best of them in that conversation. So let me get this straight. Then, rock Party, Jalen Hurts, Dak Prescott. These are all guys in your mind that will never win. I mean, if I have to choose three, yeah, that they're not. They're not replacing anybody. Ideal of the memes that are going around today that it took It took Jayden Daniels one year and he made it further in the playoffs, and Dak Prescott has yeah, incredible. Hey, you know what else made me say before we move on, it's not even football related. Ben Johnson to the Bears. That was cool, that's a big story today. But what really made me say, hmm.
Is this uap retrieval footage. Come on, man, have you seen it? It looks like an egg? Stop tell me.
He's like, you know the footage, bro, the former footage US Air Force guy, right, Jacob Barbara say footage, bro enthusiastic. People have been buzzing about, buzzing about this guy's footage for a while now.
He released it over the weekend.
So apparently this guy was in some top secret Air Force UAP uf UFO retrieval thing, right, And he's like, I got footage. I took footage, which is a no no in that world that I'm going to release. I have the footage of me retrieving what they say is.
A UA page.
Footage is blurry than there's a brutal they have they've released over the weekend.
I'm watching it. This is real, It's true.
What's it called when it's in green and black night vision, you know night vision footage of him operating the helicopter that's hoisting this.
It's an egg. It's basically a.
Morcan mindy egg that the aliens traveling through telepathy, is what he's saying. And you could see it's a perfectly shaped, perfect egg shaped saying UAP or orb or whatever it is, but that is what they're saying is going on here. They're retrieving a UAP. In that video made me say, who made me say, wow, they were really onto something and Mork and Mindy who's the guy that does it late night like UFO show?
Wow, George Nori, Yeah, you gonna fill in for him? And Dan Patrick Cooper.
This is a big story in the alien world for sure, Like this is look it up and here's why I was a big story.
Yeah.
There's so many people that are like under it's like, be sure to drink your oval team and we're like, that's the video an egg And then other people are like, wow, man, that's incredible. It's like one of those one of those really split down the middle things. But it's actually they're saying, the footage is real. The footage is supposed to be real what it is because it's from the US Air Force. Yeah, this guy's incredible, source says says, I mean, says the guy, right, I mean.
His resume, give me twenty minutes and a word, doc, and I give you says the egg encountered the US Navy fighter planes. Right, So hey, think of it what you will believe.
It probably not probably a giant rock. But I'm telling you what happened over the weekend that you may have missed and made me say you know, can you.
Not tell me about he goes.
I hope it probe spot first, you know, and you know what, I'll gladly accept it if I'm wrong.
You know.
Back back to Ben Johnson for one second. Sure, I don't want to get off of your alien topic, but just one thought. Oh, just hear me one second. When you're coming off a devastating loss, a blow to the team in the city like the Lions did, Yeah, it was tough, man. Do you think Ben Johnson when you're finally granted the privilege and honor to coach a team in the NFL, do you think he's got a short memory? Or you think he's a ball of emotion. Did you ever see someone like, yeah, they lose a family member, but then you know something big happens next day, or you get dumped, but then you get the job promotion you want, Like, do you think Ben Johnson's a ball of emotions right now?
Or you think he was able to be like Lions that's in the past. I'm now a head coach.
He has so many friends in the organization and it was such a journey that you'd have to think he has some sort of a hangover today.
But I'm saying, like, a what a mix of emotions?
Have you ever you know, have you ever dealt with that at they like tragedy and happiness all at the same time.
Like, that's a really point.
Didn't we know someone that they like lost their parent but then they had a kid, like in the same week, and it's like, that's like I feel like, you know what I'm saying, like that you're dealing with a lot of highs and lows. That's real life and death. But I'm saying, you don't think Ben Johnson's like, oh my god, our fifteen to two dream season is over. Ah well, now I'm the coach of the you know, head coach of the Bears. Let's go Like that's gotta be Yeah. I think it's a really cool point. I wonder how he feels a little of both. How could he feel anything else? Every every other member of that Lions organization is he might be the only guy that's like, yeah, that's great, guys, I'm a head coach now and I got cal Williams not. I think he feels bummed, But I also think he feels excited about the future.
