Welcome to the Big Suey, presented by Draft Kings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Lebitard podcast. I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that.
Starting point is 00:02:45 In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys? I've done it. And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, Fat Face, and the habitual liar. Have you seen this? They want you to guess when you're buying NFL tickets.
Starting point is 00:03:07 That's wrong. It's not freedom. I don't like that. You have to take the guesswork out of buying NFL tickets. That's why you download the GameTime app. You create an account, and you use code Dan for $20 off your first purchase. Terms apply. Swipe.
Starting point is 00:03:23 Tap. Ticket. I love the visual image of Greg Cody and a home he's lived for 30 years, trying not to be lonely amid a family that's just eating up the red zone in the 4 o'clock hour, even if they're bad games just because here come the Cowboys. Oh, oh, is George Pickens? Oh, he's their number one now. It's not C.D. Lamb anymore. And oh, we're going to get to watch C.D. Lamb. Get mad at Jack Prescott. Get mad for dropping the ball because the ball was in your hands and all of a sudden you dropped it. You went like this and made an O and the ball went right through like a tire on a store. swing? Please. C.D. Lamb.
Starting point is 00:03:56 George Pickens has taken over that team. He seemed like he'd be useful in Pittsburgh. It seems like he's pretty good at wide receiver, but the show's moving a little bit fast for me, and the weekend is as well. Like Tom Brady said what?
Starting point is 00:04:13 Oh, I mean, the wild headline. If you were locked in on that Cowboys and Eagles game like I was. Bad look. But you have to ask yourself, why can they say it? The Colts and Chiefs game is of Holmes rescuing his season. It is getting us ready to gallop through December and the holidays
Starting point is 00:04:30 on, oh, that team still needs to be feared. You had them this close to dead. Daniel Jones, all you got to do is not be Daniel Jones in a fourth quarter and overtime where the chiefs are going for 300 yards and the Colts best offense in the league. You're getting 18 on the road in the cold. 18
Starting point is 00:04:46 yards, not 18 points. Daniel Jones, that's why they don't trust you. That's why in any game going for in the future if the chiefs are in it against the Colts, the Chiefs will be the betting favored by three and a half or more because everyone kind of knows, oh, if it's going to be just bootlegs and tight ends and we're hiding Daniel Jones and we're not going to throw the ball down the field and they didn't try that at all, the Chiefs are going to gobble you up on offense in December when it gets a little colder
Starting point is 00:05:11 and we have to play outdoors. But they won't if they have to go through the Colts. Have you seen this? The Colts and the Chiefs played a football game. Now the Colts record might be better, perceived by many to be better. But then the two teams played. And then the Chiefs won. That makes the Chiefs better. You understand what I'm saying? Head to head, man. What's happening in college football should scare you. It should scare your family and your kids. Are you wearing eyeliner? It's not important. What's important is what happens on the field is supposed to matter. Invoking acronyms like S-O-S-S-R-S-A-G-F-O-H. D-E-I. That's what I like to say. get away from the group of five what happens on the field matters what is happening in college football hate to say it is woke that's right and it's gay oh you didn't just do that analytics one gay everything i'm sorry that's what they're doing you didn't escalate that quickly we're not we're not transit of property used to matter if miami beat notre dame that's a trans issue that people should be paying attention to and not ignoring really with george harrison you really that's how you're going to do this i ran this i ran this
Starting point is 00:06:22 spy, Jeremy, because he is woke. The Alphabet Mafia. This guy gets it, dude. I like this guy. Seriously, though, we can't allow this to happen. Two teams played. Please stop, Mike. Please stop infecting ever. I can't do this for a month. Ask yourself. If two teams played and one team won, and they have the same record, does that not make them better?
Starting point is 00:06:44 The Colts played the Chiefs yesterday. At least in this country. The Chiefs, Greg, the Chiefs announced, like, it was funny to watch it. come down to this kind of cold math. If the Chiefs win this game, they're going to make the playoffs by probabilities, and if they lose this game, and they're down 20 to 9
Starting point is 00:07:01 and fourth quarter, it looks like they're kind of done. You might want to bury this team right now. Like, you might want to finish them right now because we see how hurt the Patriots are. How injured the Patriots are. The wheels are going to fall off of that thing before it gets to the finish line. Yeah. So now what are you going to do if Mahomes
Starting point is 00:07:17 is coming for you as Romo is galloping through November with Here comes playoff, Mahomes. Here comes, he's warning you. He was warning you on those fourth quarter drives, and then the Chiefs and the Colts. Colts best offense in the league, Zaslow. The Chiefs go for 300 yards in the fourth quarter
Starting point is 00:07:35 and beyond an overtime, and the Colts, it's punt, punt, punt, punt. There's still multiple teams between Kansas City and the playoff spot. Like, they're only a game back, yes, but there's two other teams they would have to jump before they even get to the final playoffs. The point is he saved their season. season. The point is the playoff started yesterday for the Chiefs. Well, so what does that mean? Like, they have to win the rest of their games.
Starting point is 00:07:59 They're not going to. They've got to win more games than they lose, especially in the AFC. No, they'll have to be a lot better than winning more games than the rest of the way. You guys made, this is what happened. You guys made the game at Denver must win, and then it wasn't must win. You made the Colts must win, must win, and now they're back in the game. Like, we understand, we understand it's a flawed team. They can't run the ball. Like, you're going to need that in December. You can't keep asking, homes to do everything. That's the first one-score game they've won this season.
Starting point is 00:08:26 I'm just saying they probably have to go five-and-one the rest of the way to make the playoffs. And if they do that, it's playing every game on the road. The point, that's not the point. Look, that's nice. We can talk about all that, and we'll spend the weeks and the holidays discussing that. Probabilities, whatnot. Mahomes saved their season. The Chiefs have been at nine straight of these AFCs championship games.
Starting point is 00:08:47 It's nine straight. But have you seen this? The EPA tells you Indianapolis. is better, but your eyes told you different. That game happened. It should matter. To you and your family, because this is woke and gay.
Starting point is 00:09:02 You did this already before. Did you get that, Dan? I'm not going to be able to allow him to keep doing this. You're going to have to go again, Mike. I'm sorry. I don't even know what to accuse you of here. Let me see here. Can I see this? Penalizing. Minor penalty. Two minutes.
Starting point is 00:09:17 Accidental racism. Talk about the left. You can't get more woke than saying one team is better when they lost a head-to-head matchup. This should scare you. You have to scare everybody. You have to leave. You and your eyeliner. You have to go.
Starting point is 00:09:36 You have to get out of here. He's not wearing eyeliner. I'm not. I have some Egyptian roots. Get out of here. Of the football yesterday, okay? It was funny to see the Browns have their first 50-yard pass in 15 games. Isaiah Bond, Dan.
Starting point is 00:09:51 That's who it was right. The Raiders exist just for everyone else to get better. Chip Kelly is fired in the middle of the night, highest paid offensive coordinator because the Raiders are truly terrible, so terrible that Shador Sanders, who can't play quarterback, just won a road game by double digits because the Raiders stink. Raiders have such good offensive players. Chip Kelly couldn't do anything with these guys. Chip Kelly sucks.
Starting point is 00:10:13 Okay. No, but fired also. Chip Kelly fired highest paid offensive coordinator in the league. Put that over there. also put over there just Jamis Winston football all of it right catching a pass stiff hard
Starting point is 00:10:26 that was awesome no and third and 17 like breaking a tackle on a sack and it was just all James and then at the end of course they're going to lose because we all knew they were getting to come on we're so close we had them everyone knew
Starting point is 00:10:41 that that's how that was tell me that we didn't know the trick or treat Dan you knew it no but more to point though you're like doing the math in the fourth quarter of, oh, 13, really? You're going to let the Lions beat you with seven. You're going to let kick a field goal here. Okay. Look, look, a couple of things yesterday. Weird. You tell me if it's not weird. Have you guys gotten used to this yet? The Cowboys Eagles game is 21-21. There's three and a half minutes left. It's fourth and goal, and the Cowboys aren't kicking the field goal. They're going for seven
Starting point is 00:11:11 with three and a half minutes left in the game when the Eagles haven't done anything offensively in the last three quarters. Yeah. Mike McDaniel's strategy. Are you guys yet used to this? The new normal in football where they're treating, no, seven's worth more than three. Four points? Seven.
Starting point is 00:11:28 And I'm going to keep going for seven, even if the math doesn't make sense to you because three and a half minutes left in a game, Schottenheimer's kid. It's like old school Schottenheimer's kid is saying, no, we go forward on fourth and short at the goal line because touchdowns are worth more than field goals. And when you're this close, that's what we do in this sport now. It didn't only happen in the Cowboys and Eagles games. If you go to the 1 o'clock slate, the Patriots and the Bengals game, the Pats had two, basically, they had eight downs at like the two-yard line,
Starting point is 00:11:55 ran a bunch of stuff into the offensive line. They got a penalty, got a new first down, and then went forth and down, went out on downs over there too. So it was like they just went for it. No kicking field goals. Just try to get a touchdown. To me, though, the story of the day is Colch Chiefs, can you wrestle it away from them?
Starting point is 00:12:11 And to me, the stat pull away from that game for me. And we are understanding that the Chiefs dominated that game, right, and then took over the story of that game at the end. But Daniel Jones not able to throw the ball more than 20 yards all game when that offense had been in the Red Zone 26 times this season and scored 22 touchdowns. You were here to prove to me that you're what the Chief's offense used to be. Roll through half a season being the best thing in the league,
Starting point is 00:12:37 nobody can touch you 30, but it's going to be required of you, Jones. Can you do it with bootlegs and scheming? you do it with tight ends, or can you do it down the field outdoors later in the season when we trust you won't become Daniel Jones again, right? Like that's the story being told yesterday is that King Kong is on the cusp of you can push all of this off the mountain if none of you want to see it in the playoffs as the Patriots physically fall apart. Nobody wants to see this thing.
Starting point is 00:13:06 Nobody wants to see Patrick Mahomes alive and swinging in the playoffs. I think the story of the season so far in the NFL, and it's been an intriguing season is that Patrick Mahomes and that KC defense make the chiefs as good as just about any team in the league other than the L.A. Rams. For me, the Rams are the most all-round best team. That's not what the bills have to win in this conference. The Rams are somewhere else. Look, we're in agreement that whatever comes, I think we're in agreement on this, right? Whatever comes out of the AFC is going to be flawed. Like, yes. Whatever the thing is, and if you're going to make all of them flawed, the chiefs are going to be the
Starting point is 00:13:43 most feared flawed thing. Yes. But no, the Rams, no, the Rams are a buzzsaw and the Seahawks are great too and the Eagles can beat anybody except that weird short circuiting that just happened to them yesterday because football's funny. And Detroit right now
Starting point is 00:13:59 is not even a playoff team in the NFC. Well, and Detroit showed you nothing beating the Giants and Jamis that way because of the silliness of that game. The Giants also did. So you guys saw that Malik Neighbors is questioning the Giants. Look at this man, in your football Sunday. day. While Cody's trying to get messy off the ground, the headlines are rolling in. Malik
Starting point is 00:14:19 neighbors questioning that the giants are losing on purpose. That is fundamentally useless. The worst thing that a player who is not playing can do to your team on a day off, say the games are rigged. Like, this is not helpful in any way. How does he think that that's okay to put that out there? This thing is crazy. What am I missing that Malik neighbors would think so little of his organization that he would say, I think we're rigging games on purpose to lose them by way of analysis of how the Giants lost, because this is how it is with James. He'll make you crazy. Like, who was the first person to call Malik neighbors and tell him to take it down? Was it the PR guy? Was it his agent? Did he just say, oh, wow, that was unbelievably stupid?
Starting point is 00:15:00 I'll just take it down myself. No, I wasn't a self thing. It was a call. But what is that? How is the judgment that bad? So bad. Also, was he not around last year when they were losing on purpose too like he didn't see that okay but you he's right malik neighbors was right in one thing he wrote there it was the it was the line you don't kick a field goal with five question marks you kick a field goal there mike macdaniels was wrong last week and they're wrong this week for not doing that guys can you can you can you he wasn't wrong last week though can we he wasn't wrong last yeah it was not five percentages no i don't care about percentages Greg i don't care about percentages I want logic.
Starting point is 00:15:38 Have you seen this? Are you aware? Greg's the only one making sense. Thank you. You're all citing charts, numbers, and crafts. What he's talking about is what he's seeing on the field. That should matter. And if it doesn't matter, we've lost all hope. Folks, want to have some skin in the game?

Don Lebertard. A woman who was out swimming with her friends is believed to have been swallowed whole by a 13-foot shark without any of her friends noticing. That's the weirdest part about that story. You're swimming with friends, you're having a good time, and then all of a sudden people are looking around and go, where's Shelly?
Starting point is 00:18:46 like nobody screamed every friend group has a shelley though that if they go missing because a shark ate them hole you wouldn't notice classic shelly exactly right yeah yeah stugats she went quietly apparently if I'm swallowed hole by a shark you're gonna know it this is the Dan Levitar show
Starting point is 00:19:03 with the Stugats I know math is bad for an audio Monday, but Greg, the decision that McDaniel made in Madrid gave them a 3.5% better chance of win probability. That makes it the correct mathematical decision if you're always playing probabilities as the odds. Use your gut, okay? And you've got a gut. Use your gut, okay? Don't be a slave to numbers. When you're tied going into the last two minutes of the game, you kick a field goal and then you trust your defense. I'm hearing this. Are you hearing this? Are you seeing this? Numbers are bad. Numbers get in the way. Numbers are woke and gay. Greg, the thing that you're doing that is the wrong thing to do here is I want, if someone
Starting point is 00:20:12 is winning on my behalf in any industry for that person to have the best probabilities of winning in wherever the margins are for winning. So if they're going to reject the math of I had a 3.5% better chance than this, but I went with my gut. I accept the explanation, but I want the person who will choose the best mathematical path because it's the most prudent route. But if you're going by mathematics and analytics and all that stuff, you don't even need a person, you need AI to coach you, and I don't mean Alan Iverson. Anyone can look at a computer and look at those algorithms and what have you and say what you said. It's not the truth.
Starting point is 00:20:53 You've got to use the human touch. Greg is making all the sense. The field test. You want to invoke numbers and computers. They're coming for your job. That should scare you and your family. What matters is what happened on the field. Quality losses.
Starting point is 00:21:08 That's a joke. How about quality wins? In head-to-head matchups, it's woke, and it's bad, and gay. Okay, again with this? Okay, you're going to do that again then. All right, so. Minor penalty, two minutes, tremendous, Kegasong. You've seen this?
Starting point is 00:21:24 They're trying to silence me. And it starts with me. Then the Miami Hurricanes. And then you. And your family. Minor penalty, two minutes, dumpster juice takes. And gay. Minor penalty, two minutes, murdering the show with her bare hands and a dismemberment kitten, cold blood.
Starting point is 00:21:53 I'm trying to talk math here with my stubborn friend, and I just want to invoke Zadzlo and Tony on this, because I think your son is also math averse. We're in a new normal now, right? Where the thing he's complaining, he's like two weeks behind on, McDaniel did the, the wrong thing. No, he didn't. All these coaches are going to kind of on fourth and goal. If they're inside the five, they're going to go for seven and not three anymore because they've realized like they did in basketball.
Starting point is 00:22:19 We're like, oh, three points are worth more than two. Or like they did in baseball. Home runs are better than not home runs. You're going to keep shaking your head at that. They've all figured out, seven is worth more than three. I'm going to go for seven if I'm inside the five. I don't care what the game situation is. It's not even
Starting point is 00:22:35 as much about that. Although, yes, of course you're right. It's that these kickers kick and make field goals from everywhere. Yesterday, 59, 59, 61, as if it's normal. Three of them, like, it's just, we're going to, here we go. 59, 59, 69, 61. Easy, and it cleared the goalpost by like six yards. Outdoors, outdoors with wind at 59, 59, 69, 61, and you're like, what the hell?
Starting point is 00:23:00 Three point lead, giving the ball up with two minutes left is nothing. Then doing the kickoff, if they get it at like the 35, they have to go like 20 yards. You're giving the ball up with less. than two minutes left and the other team has zero time out. That's the right. Greg, that's a factor. Look, Greg, I just love that we're already here for the boldness of Schottenheimer
Starting point is 00:23:19 who's dad never would have done it this way. His dad was always losing in the playoffs with 14 and 2 teams because he would have never done it the way that his kid is doing it. The Cowboys are not as good as the Eagles. They traded Michael Parsons because they are not as good as the Eagles. They know they're not as good as the Eagles, but they're there late
Starting point is 00:23:35 in the game, they're capable of winning and George Pickens is going off. At the end the game, it's 21-21. They've got the ball inside of four minutes. It's fourth and goal, and they fail to make it. But no one questions that they would go for it anymore. I don't feel like in today's NFL. We're not playing the way you did four weeks ago even, where they're all going to get more aggressive at this, and all of the offenses are going to be efficient enough when it's like, wait a minute. So we've got to get 10 yards on four downs, and we haven't been using this fourth one? Like 10 yards. When we can get two and three here, we're
Starting point is 00:24:09 We've not been using this fourth one all season because we're afraid of doing it at our 40-yard line. Even in college sports, you're seeing like crazy. Everyone's going forward. You see what FAU did? Inside their own 20, inside their own 30. FAU went for fourth and one in the third quarter from their 10. Good. They scored a touchdown on the play.
Starting point is 00:24:27 Good, exactly right. And it actually goes back to the-what? That's actually impressive. I didn't see that. But it goes back to the Colts and Chiefs game. There was a play late, I want to say in the third quarter or maybe early fourth quarter, Colts had a third and one, and they throw a third. 35-yard past Alec Pierce somewhere down there,
Starting point is 00:24:42 fourth and one, like the 39 or 40, and then they punt the ball. It's like, it's fourth and one. You got Daniel Jones. You got Jonathan Taylor, the best running back in the sport. You can't get one yard. But guys, what happened yesterday, like to me, this part, if we're going to do just drama and stories, this part, the Colts went in with the best offense in the league.
Starting point is 00:25:00 You told us you're what the lions have been the last few years. You get the ball down the field. You make it look easy. You can churn out, drive, scoring, drive. scoring drives, 26 times in the red zone, 22 touchdowns, even when it gets tight, 22 touchdowns in the red zone. Are you that team? Oh, no, not in Kansas City, not on the road, not when it counts in the fourth quarter.
Starting point is 00:25:22 In the fourth quarter, you can put the champion, you can put him out, you can put your foot on the neck of the champion, we won 29 in your place. We did it your way, and we beat you your way at defense, and the chief's fourth quarter on, go for 300 yards and you go for 18. Like in terms of what it takes to win a football season, honestly, it reminds me of like John Morant and what's going on with Clay Thompson, where Clay Thompson looks down from championship heaven and says, do you know what it takes to, like, win this? Like how much you have to respect the weekly nature of things?
Starting point is 00:25:59 The Colts had a chance to announce themselves to America yesterday. They had a chance in the fourth quarter, and they let Playoff Mahomes be Playoff my homes before the playoffs have started because the playoffs have started for the chiefs. Like the playoffs are here. They live for this time of year. They're here to see if the Colts have the stomach for this.
Starting point is 00:26:19 Man, you think Chris Jones is going to be chasing everyone around on the goal line when Marriota's flopping around during the regular season? No, he's built for December and January. He knows what it takes to win championships. He'll try then. And occasionally in the fourth quarter when you really need him and he needs to wreck Daniel Jones.
Starting point is 00:26:35 And he throws the center 16 yards the other way and just goes and gets you. But the thing is, their identity is running the football. Jonathan Taylor had 16 carries for 56 yards, right? Like the identity for the Colts is, yes, we're the team that's going to score 22 times of 26 times in the red zone, but you can't have your best player with 58 yards from scrimmage.
Starting point is 00:26:50 No, but here, this ignores something, okay? And I've told you before to listen to Mina Kimes and the data dump she's doing before games on Friday. But before the bills and the chiefs played, she said this is what's going to happen here, because the chiefs are very bad at stopping the run up the middle and the bills are very good at running between
Starting point is 00:27:06 the tackles up the middle. That's how that game's going to go. The bills will hold the ball all game, and then the game went exactly that way. The fact that the best offense in the league with the MVP, Jonathan Taylor, scored, I don't know how many touchdowns the week before and every week. In December, Sequin Barclay time, when we need a running game, and we need, it can't be. It's 18 yards in the fourth quarter. Like, not when you're getting the 200-whatever that you did against, who was that that he did it two weeks before. The Rams, I think he had like 250-something yards. was it the Rams
Starting point is 00:27:39 Jonathan Taylor is obviously great at football. The running back is disposable. We all know how the quarterback how important he is. You're thinking of the game against the Falcons in Berlin? Yes. At deciding time yesterday Daniel Jones had a chance to finish the Chiefs
Starting point is 00:27:54 to finish them. And he gave you 18 yards of total offense. Best offense in the league. That's not me telling a story. Those are the facts. Everyone saw that on television. Chiefs aren't usually in that one o'clock game. That's where the Colts have lived for a long time.
Starting point is 00:28:11 The Chiefs, the Chiefs are slumming by coming and saving their season on one o'clock football for you. But it's complimentary football that the Colts like to play, right? Their running game opens up the passing game with those bootlegs, with those play actions for Daniel Jones. And when you're not afraid of the run
Starting point is 00:28:27 because you're stopping everything stone walling at the line of scrimmage, yeah, Ashton Doolin is going to break a 48-yard run. But like you have Michael Pittman running out of nowhere. You have Alec Pierce. You have a guy named Ogletree. catch the touchdown. Like, they're built to run the ball and then play off of that. They just could do it. Where was
Starting point is 00:28:41 Moe Alley Cox when they did either. You know what? Yes. One for nine. There's too many suspicious good teams in this league right now. Zazlo, what just happened? I thought George was about to say something. I got confused. Like, did George blurt
Starting point is 00:28:57 something out? I thought George was about to say something. Zaz, hold on a second. Zazz, no. He's just staring at it. I know. I'm sorry. No, just shut up, Zaz. Okay. You got, Zaz, you got. Minor belly, two minutes four, not listening to the show. I don't care what you got going on with George.
Starting point is 00:29:18 When the ball gets rotated to you, you're not allowed for it to hit you in the face because you're like, I don't know, I was talking to George. Did he say something to me? Like, get out. Get out. If you guys want to hear about some football, we got Liverpool losing to Norton 4 is 3-0 this weekend. That's soccer, I get it. Tony, please tell me what just happened.
Starting point is 00:29:39 You just saw it. I was scared. You and I were looking at Zaslo. I threw the ball to him, Dan. I was like, what happened? He's open. He's like a frozen computer. It looked like he wanted to talk.
Starting point is 00:29:48 All of us saw it. Me, Tony, and Chris turned to Zaslo. And instead, he's doing a private show with that asshole George over there. Okay? This guy in the corner over here that has been distracting me all show. And Greg Cody went on a Ringo star side. tangent because he got confused by this person in the corner. Ringo.
Starting point is 00:30:11 All you need is love. That's right, Craig. That's the same joke you made last time. All you need is love, man. And so that's all you got. Yes. So that is your limited fake Beatles. That is your limited fake. Ringo star, not George Harrison, right? That's right.

Starting point is 00:32:11 way more I'm sorry I just said in his headset Haven't you been to all of them too It sounded like you were speaking aloud My bad Totally on me That's 100% on me
Starting point is 00:32:27 Stugats But that goes without saying Right. That it couldn't have to be out. Well, now he said it. He didn't. He didn't say it. He said it again.
Starting point is 00:32:36 Greg. My apology is sincere. Greg. Yeah. Craig. Greg. He apologized. Craig.
Starting point is 00:32:43 Cereg. This is the Dan Lebatar show with the Stugats. The day of football yesterday, okay? The week before, okay. Scott Hansen starts at 1 o'clock with. He's like, and last week in the 1 o'clock window. Seven games, the team trailing in the fourth quarter won, five of them on the last play. And here we go.
Starting point is 00:33:10 Here's seven more hours of, are you ready to get crazy? And you want me to go to the barbie room and watch Messi and Los Juarez or whoever that is? Come on. And all the games, and all the games are close, even the meaningless ones. But in the one o'clock window, I believe the Chiefs took the storyline of the day because I believe this biggest story in this sport. And I'm kind of stunned. this, having seen 20 years of Brady, is the NFL, this champion is so large now that
Starting point is 00:33:37 the biggest story every week is, did they win or did they lose? Like, you're going to tell me the regular season doesn't matter everywhere, but no, I'll know, you know when I'll know it doesn't matter when you've eliminated them, and I know that they will not be the ones playing in the final game. And you've offered me, like, that we've actually buzz-sawed through Mahomes because this shit's hard. When I go back to, I want to play some of this sound from Clay Thompson, because I think thought it was so interesting to hear him talk like your grandpa about today's kids
Starting point is 00:34:07 because he actually knows what it takes and how hard it is to be a champion, so hard that Memphis got there for like three months, chirped an awful lot, and then cratered as a franchise crushing their youngest player. And so Clay Thompson doesn't respect John Moran, doesn't respect whatever his generation is, doesn't respect that John Morant would throw away publicly. like it's unbelievable to see Clay Thompson behaving like your grandpa at the end of the Mavericks bench when he's not very good anymore and he just doesn't respect John Morant
Starting point is 00:34:40 in a way that said so publicly after the game. So let's hear the sound here from Clay Thompson and maybe we'll get an explanation from Zazlo and what the hell he was doing with George. And if you didn't see it was because at the end of the game Clay took a final shot, the Mavericks lose and Jah who wasn't playing in the game is just kind of giving him the business.
Starting point is 00:34:59 With Jah, he's a funny. guy. He has a lot to say all the time, especially for a guy who rarely takes accountability. But you know what? That's for another day. What a job I have to say on this occasion? Nothing of intelligent, just running his mouth. And it's funny to run your mouth when you're on the bench. It's kind of the story of career so far, just leaving us wanting more. We all want to see him out there and do his best, but letting a lot of other stuff get in the way of that. And we need that in the NBA. We need our. best players be out there and when you're a star it comes with a great responsibility and i hate to see that
Starting point is 00:35:36 go to waste you can any number of times wherever there is beef and look shannon sharp was trying to fight memphis memphis was it for a minute and john morant got carried away with whatever that was for a while you rarely hear a champion of this man's credentials so clearly articulate i don't respect you and that's Those are the words that cut the most, like, oh, yeah, you got gifts. I've seen a thousand guys who have gifts. Do you know what it takes to beat all of them for 10 years? Because we've got to go get Kevin Durant and because Draymond's punching our teammates because he's a crazy person. Like, do you know what it takes?
Starting point is 00:36:12 Yeah, I think it was a pretty brutal takedown by Clay Thompson there. Like, because he said it really succinctly. Matter of fact. Yep. And while also getting the point across in a very strong way and then, you know, capping it off. with, you know, he doesn't take any accountability. He never does. Not a surprise. Look, I don't think there's a bigger, loser move.
Starting point is 00:36:34 And I think most NBA players would probably agree with it than talking trash when you're in street clothes on the bench. And then add to it, you're talking trash when you're in street clothes on the bench in the midst of, you know, your worst career season when you actually are playing. Oh, and not just your worst career season when you're playing. Right now, John Morant, I dare say, is the poster child. for this person doesn't care enough about all of his blessings
Starting point is 00:37:02 like in sports right now among superstars look this person this was face of the league 18 months ago this is you were telling me Anthony Edwards and him we're going to be the face of the league because oh what what grace to have a small guy who's sinewy
Starting point is 00:37:17 be more athletic than everybody and then fame comes to him and all the nonsense comes to him and now Clay Thompson champion pedigree champion looks down on you remembers when you challenge them, a fly around an elephant's tail for five months, that's the most relevant you've been, when you sniffed where they were with greatness for Clay to say, don't respect you. Don't respect you since back then. You guys don't understand what it takes. You've been
Starting point is 00:37:41 chirping for years, and look, you've fallen on the neck. The only thing that stopped John Morant is whatever is the pressure of being John Morant amid being a child amid the responsibilities of that franchise. He never plays. He's in the middle of a career war season. and his team sucks. And talking trash off the bench when you're in street clothes to a champion is suck a behavior. Wow, suck a move? John Moran, Suck of the day? Suck a move.
Starting point is 00:38:08 We can't do this. I don't, I'm not comfortable with how we do this. Have you seen this? We've got to be more careful again with this. For the young man, they saw bronze. I understand that Memphis has blue leadership, but someone needs to go into that town and clean it up. This shouldn't be a role model.
Starting point is 00:38:25 This is a villain. And we should talk about it that way. Should he take the crown as the ultimate sucka until we find someone else to replace him? Wow. He's the show. Suck of the year? Well, no, not the year because it could change, but I think Chris is on to something here. I'm not comfortable with you what you guys are doing.
Starting point is 00:38:41 And I don't think we're getting too far. I'm not comfortable with what you're doing. I agree. You're making this man a child. He's a grown man. 26. In charge of his own decisions. At 26, I was married with seven children.
Starting point is 00:38:54 Yeah. I don't mind infantilizing. John Moran, given what his behaviors have been. They've been public. Immature. Let's infantilize him. I don't think I don't think I'm the only one doing that. I think... How young are you making him? Is it 15?
Starting point is 00:39:10 Or is it 18? Is there a difference? It's not grown up. How big of a difference? There's a big difference between 15 and 18. Depends on which state you are. You could say that. But is it really? How much makeup are you wearing? How much... You are... What do you mean? He's got a good tan, dude.
Starting point is 00:39:25 Look, this is all I'm saying. to you, okay? When we talk about the AFC and whatever the weaknesses of the AFC is, Andy Reed and Patrick Mahomes are doing this to the Patriots, the way they're broken and saying, yeah, Hunter Henry, seven catches for 110? You think that's
Starting point is 00:39:41 how you're going to beat us in the playoffs? Let's go. Pop Douglas? Let's play that game wherever it is you want to play it. There's Mack Hollins. Man, that's where we are with this sport right now, right? It's everyone's playing exciting, interesting, close games, and everyone's just looking at the Chiefs and Eagles.
Starting point is 00:39:57 every angle. I think part of the issue is that a lot of the teams with good records are obviously not good teams. Nobody's really scared of New England. The bears, I think the bears are a good team. I don't think, I don't think, they're sneaky good. Really? I think so. I think they're sneaky good. I don't think they're going to do anything. I think they're sneaky good for right now. For first year of Ben Johnson, if I told you the bears were going to be eight and three and the lions were going to be, what, seven and four, I'd be like, okay, sneaky. We can't really do anymore. We can't really do who have they beaten in that league? Why not?
Starting point is 00:40:28 Or fourth place schedules? If you beat a team and they beat another team, you're better than that team they beat. That's the trans issue we're talking about here. Transitive property, it matters, and it should matter, because what happens between the lines is important. The more you dilute it, the more you invoke acronyms, the more you invoke math, the further it is you get away
Starting point is 00:40:49 from your traditional American values. This is wrong, and it should scare you and your family. The Chicago Bears Hold on Okay Is there not I thought there was another note After this should scare you and your family
Starting point is 00:41:03 No And it's gay Yeah okay You walked into that one then You knew that was coming It's the one that I was Analytics won everything gay Okay
Starting point is 00:41:11 I will say Not a lot of good wins on this Bears Can I just say one thing about the Bears The Bears are the biggest fraud In the NFL right now Oh no Their defense is bottom third in the league Their point differential
Starting point is 00:41:23 is minus three. They're the only great record team with a minus point differential. Not a good team. It's an embarrassment that Green Bay and Detroit is trailing to Chicago Bears. He's so close to saying. It's right there in front of his notes. You know he wants
Starting point is 00:41:39 to say it. Greg. It's woke. Greg. Greg. You say, not a good team more than embarrassment. Greg, what do you mean not a good team? The Bears are eight and three. What's the point of playing 11 games? You've got to beat the teams that you're
Starting point is 00:41:53 playing in front of. I get it. Head to head, they are 8 and 3. I'll give them that. But they're still a bad team. The quarterback of the Bears paints his nails. You can't say not a good team.
Starting point is 00:42:03 Do you know how much the Bears would be underdogs to the Kansas City Chiefs if they met next week? Okay, this is not... Probably close to double figures. No way. You're crazy. What?
Starting point is 00:42:14 That's a four and a half points. That's a four and a half points. Yeah, maybe three and a half. This is a problem with numbers. What? Who would be favored? Greg. Look at all the good teams.
Starting point is 00:42:22 Tampa Bay, not that. Good. Quality loss, though. San Francisco, not that good. We don't know about San Francisco. Philadelphia, not that good. Not that good. Greg.
Starting point is 00:42:31 Philadelphia. They're only like 28 of like 34 games. Chargers, not that good. Colts, not that good. Jaguars, not that good. Steelers, not that good. George, what are you encouraging over there? What are you telling us to roll?
Starting point is 00:42:46 Greg's right. I just wanted to see Greg keep going on which teams are good and which teams were bad. Thank you, George. I know you went over the Chicago Bears, but we're going to get to the Minnesota to Twinks any time soon? Well, nobody thinks they're good. I mean, come on. You can understand how I got confused with George earlier, right?
Starting point is 00:43:01 George Erison. Well, the underrated Beatles. Do you want any of Jeremy's thoughts on the heat? I would like his thoughts on the breakup of the Beatles, because George, George, you were at odds with Paul McCartney back then, weren't you? Yeah, I mean, it was a rough time, you know, some odd times with Lenin and McCartney and Star, And then there was the whole thing with me and Clapton and his wife.
Starting point is 00:43:24 You know, it's been an up and down life. But, you know, we figure it out. Are you seeing this? He's not George Harrison, but he's telling you he is. He's identifying as George Harrison, even though he wasn't born. That should scare you and your family. A nod again with this. It's woke.
Starting point is 00:43:40 Come on, man. How much wake up? How much makeup? Gay? That's right. He gets it. Why did he keep saying this? Why does he keep asking that?
Starting point is 00:43:54 He keeps accusing me. Look at me. Look at me. Not wearing any makeup. The side by side of Tony and Mike is. Tony, you are normally browner than Mike. He's making you look, if not albino-ish, like you are certainly not getting enough blood to your face. Like, Mike is looking a good deal more tan, Hispanic than you are?
Starting point is 00:44:13 Are you seeing this? Browner? It's a glow. When you've been exposed to the truth. Because what matters on a football field matters eternally. You're looking at poles. The pollsters are a problem, too. They're fake poles.
Starting point is 00:44:26 The coach's pole? There isn't a single coach that would be okay with the team they beat ranked ahead of them if they had the same record. Call it what it is. It's woke. It's a problem. It should scare you. It's going to be the end of you and your children. Chris, can we do funniest thing from the sports weekend, please?
Starting point is 00:44:44 I need to lighten this up. I can't give him enough penalties. Minor penalty, two minutes, delay a show. I just need to get you out so that I can do the show and you can stop doing this. You're on a platform to nowhere. Are you seeing this? They're trying to muzzle me. Okay.
Starting point is 00:45:01 I'm speaking truth. He doesn't like it. So shut me up. Okay. That's wrong. It's woke and gay. Yes. You're watching that.
Starting point is 00:45:11 So, James was delightful yesterday. That was funny and fun to watch. The open field stiff arm catching of a pass as Detroit. trying to hang on to the fringes of the playoffs. Like Detroit's trying to hold on. Like, look, we've got only so much of this man Campbell left, all right? Have you seen Gibbs? Have you seen what we looked like on the road?
Starting point is 00:45:33 And so they go in there, and they're like biting kneecaps. And it's like, James is like, who, double reverse. My hurt receiver going to be criticizing our play calling. Throw the ball back to me, stiff arm open field. James was this close to knocking the lion's, to ending the lion's window. It was only going to be dissent from Dan Campbell from here because you can only eat so many kneecaps. It's the holidays and the 50th anniversary of Miller Light.
