Starting point is 00:00:12 We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it. But, you know, tired and sick. Tired and sick.

Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and Friends on the ice. Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is, getting a racist statue removed. And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is, getting a new one put up in its place.
Starting point is 00:01:15 I'm Akela Hughes, and Rebel Spirit Season 2 is about both of those things. As I was watching these statues come down, I was thinking about what it meant that I grew up in a majority black city, in which there were more homages to enslavers than there were to enslave people. Listen to Rebel Spirit Season 2 on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Every family has its secrets. But what happens when you discover that your dad has been living a double life? That is not the look of an innocent man. Is everyone lying to me about who they are?
Starting point is 00:01:49 I felt such desperation. I felt it was what I had to do. Listen to deep cover the family man. on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Starting point is 00:02:23 You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. drama. You've seen that Lakerland drama? Can I read this? Are you doing this story? Are you doing this one? We are doing a little Lakers. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:02:39 I don't know if it's the one you're looking at, but... The LeBron Camp upset on? Oh, boy, we're not doing that, but that probably leads the show tomorrow. That's a big one. Go ahead. Fire away. Let's do it. No, I'll wait.
Starting point is 00:02:52 I'll wait. You sure? Power hour. Come on, buddy. It's just, there's always drama with LeBron and his camp. There's just so much ego. It's like, LeBron, come on, I want to put my arms around you. It says here, LeBron's camp took notice of how quickly the Lakers traded picks to appease Luca Dantzich.
Starting point is 00:03:12 Because he's going into his prime for the next 10 years. Take care of him. It's Hollywood. He's a rising star. LeBron came to L.A. was an older player. It wasn't the same, and he's been great. But you have 10 more prime years, arguably, of Luca. You had seen LeBron's prime by the time he came.
Starting point is 00:03:29 to LA. It's a different environment. It says what is clear is that Donthage will have a say, and it wasn't lost on James Camp. Rob Polenka prioritized Lucas' involvement and immediately engaged in the Mark Williams'
Starting point is 00:03:45 trade. Can you just be happy that Lucas showed up? Can we just be happy? Is that you got young and dynamic? So... I mean, pass the baton. It's Lucas franchise. Pass the a baton. So I do play
Starting point is 00:04:00 a lot of hoops and a lot of these guys in pickup. I'm talking to them and they are like, Jay Mack, you know where LeBron's going next year, right? He's not going to be happy with his Lucas stuff. He's going to go to Dallas and play with Kyrie and AD. You watch LeBron will leave. And I was like, I don't think he's going to leave, but then
Starting point is 00:04:16 you see stuff like this. And this is this reek of Aaron Rogers complaining. Nobody drafts a receiver for me. Remember in Green Bay? It's like LeBron. The league is catered to your every whim. They drafted your who is a 6-2 non-point guard, not every turn the league has to pamper you. And I want to support LeBron,
Starting point is 00:04:37 because I think he's been good for the league, but it's like you're at the end of your career. They drafted Brony. Yeah, they're going to give Luke a huge say. By the way, not only are they giving Luke a huge say. They need a big. They're a terrible rebounding team. I mean, right now, the Lakers are 26 in rebounding.
Starting point is 00:04:54 Like, they needed a big. They had to get things going. Oh, it's just this tedium, this need to constantly be pandered to. Be sure to catch live editions of the herd weekdays in noon Eastern, 9 a.m. Pacific on Fox Sports Radio, FS1 and the IHeart Radio app. Hey, it's us to Jonas Brothers, and guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, new? Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey, Jonas.
Starting point is 00:05:21 We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of. We're starting a trend. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember.
Starting point is 00:05:36 I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Oh, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band. Before Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my level.
Starting point is 00:05:58 Notepad Hey Jonas and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smigel and friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer Streeter Seidel.
Starting point is 00:06:27 help an a cappella band with their between songs banter. Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter. Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and friends on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal but encouraged. It's the enhanced games.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the I-Hard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:07:13 Welcome to my new podcast, Learn the Hardweight with me, your host, and your favorite therapist, Kear Games. And in recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, I'm bringing over a decade of my own experience in the mental health field and conversations with so many incredible guests, I'm talking. Tripp Fontaine, Ryan Clark. Sometimes when we're in the pursuit of the thing,
Starting point is 00:07:32 we get so wrapped up in the chase that we don't realize that we are in possession of the thing. And we're still chasing it. And we don't know when we've done enough. Because people scoreboard watch. Life becomes about wins and losses. Steve Burns, Dustin Ross. Because you find it important to be a good person while you hear on earth.
Starting point is 00:07:51 Are you a good person because you're afraid? Because that's two different intentions, bro. Absolutely. And that's two different. different levels of trust. I want you to just really be a good person. Join me, Keer Gaines, as we have real conversations about healing, growth, fatherhood, pressure, and purpose on my new podcast, Learn the Hardway. Open your free iHeartRadio app. Search Learn the hard way and listen now. J. Mack with the news. No, no, no, turn on the news. This is the herd line news.
Starting point is 00:08:22 We got to continue to hit the Eagles every hour because they are Super Bowl champs. own the Chiefs. However, however, there is a question about if Kellyn Moore is going to return as OC next year or take the Saints head coaching job. Amid all the celebration last night, Nick Siriani made a public pitch to his OC to return for another season. Vick's been a great coordinator in this league for decades, and he was awesome today. Kellan, you know, let's run this. Let's run this back, Kelly. Let's run this back. My guess is he doesn't return. right? Well, Kellyn's taking the Saints show. I think everybody thinks that.
Starting point is 00:09:00 Didn't the Rams hire like Wade Phillips, is their defensive coordinator way back? Old defensive coordinator sticks around, not looking for another job. I think that's the new model defensively. I don't know what you do with these offensive guys because the second they have success, Shane Stuyken, gone, Kellyn Moore, gone. Well, I mean, I think it's some you date, some you marry. I mean, if you get two great years, I have a coordinator and it helps your team, hopefully you can take some of his brilliance when he leaves.
Starting point is 00:09:26 Ben Johnson and Detroit? Yeah, Ben Johnson leaves. If I'm the new coordinator, I take Ben's playbook. I'm like, I mean, although proximity to greatness doesn't equal greatness, if you get somebody like Nick Saban is a young coach on the Cleveland Brown staff, take the gift, be a sponge, be willing to take everything you can out of a great young coach like Ben Johnson, take a lot of his playbook. Nothing wrong with that.
Starting point is 00:09:51 I mean, you're not going to keep talented people in any industry unless, you know, if you're paying them a ton and they're number one, but a lot of people, not all people, by the way, but there's just a lot of people, a lot of receivers want to be ones and paid like ones, even though they may be twos, so you just have to, but I think I'm not going to not hire a guy and go, listen, I love him, but he may leave me. Well, that's what I want. I've lost a lot of producers in my day. Well, they were good.
Starting point is 00:10:19 I'd rather have a good producer that leaves than a mediocre producer. I think I know how you feel. All right, let's go to the next story. Tyreek Hill, Colin, you remember at the end of the season? He's like, get me out of here, I'm done, peace. Well, he has now apologized. Quietly on Friday, Tyree made it clear he wants to stick around in Miami. Oh.
Starting point is 00:10:41 Toie, he's another competitor. He's a hell of a competitor. A lot of people don't know that. He's a winner. He's consistent. So I'm looking forward to, you know, just us continuing to build our relationship and even more. I love it. This is my public apology.
Starting point is 00:10:57 Is that what that is? Please. This is my public apology to you, Tua. I love you, bro. There you go. I like that. Steps up and says, hey, I was a little hard. My bad.
Starting point is 00:11:07 I'm okay with that. You know what I do if I'm Tua? What? I go right to Mike McDaniel. Hey, can we trade him now? Can we ship him out of town? Well, I'd trade him for a left tackle. In a heartbeat.
Starting point is 00:11:16 I mean, Tua obviously needs a guy like Tyree Kill, but I don't know. He's getting up close up there in age and he's always something with this guy. Left tackle is not. not a bad idea. Defensive end? Pass rusher. It gets something. But Tyreek Hill, you can win with Waddle, right?
Starting point is 00:11:34 I mean, they didn't win with Tyreek last year. I don't know. I would move on, but I'm in the minority on that one. Final story, Colin, is to the NBA. And the Lakers, they play tonight, and they will not have rim-running center, Mark Williams, who they thought they had at the trade deadline. Look at these Mark Williams highlights, just drop-step and hammering on people. First, it was the Lakers had the Christmas.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Paul deal done and the NBA said no and now they had this done and the doctors said no. Yeah. This is a tough loss for the... Now, in fairness, Lakers are 9 and 1 in their last 10 without him and Mark Williams misses a lot of games. He does.
Starting point is 00:12:12 I saw Polinka say he's never had a surgery, but he's always banged up in some way. He's missed. Mark Williams has missed 44 more games in his career that he's played. That's Embedish. But, yeah, but I will say this He was exactly what they needed in terms of stylistically, long, dynamic. They just, they will not defend the rim.
Starting point is 00:12:36 They're a bad rebounding team, and Luca doesn't play defense. They're going to be a bad, now they did get Dalton Connect back. Yeah, that's a big win. I know we love Connect 4 here. But last year with lively and Gafford in Dallas, catching lobs from Luca and then protecting the rim, you need one. Now they're going to look at the buyout market. I don't know. There is a world where the Lakers kind of got off good here, not making the trade. Because Mark Williams is often injured, and they keep the draft pick, which I know LeBron doesn't care about.
Starting point is 00:13:05 But here's my thing. I would agree with you if the trade deadline was a week away. But now this is what they are now. Well, there's the buyout market. And, you know, somebody could say, hey, I'm not plenty. You guys aren't contending. Can I just like Nick Claxton with Brooklyn? Okay. Right. So what's he doing on Brooklyn? Like, the Lakers could use it. Now, I don't know if that can happen. I guess the other big story.
Starting point is 00:13:27 I don't know much about the buyout market. Yeah, you know, we need one of these capologists to chime in and say, you know, I guess some of these stars can, well, not stars, but Ben Simmons is going to the Nets and being like, hey, we're not going anywhere. Can I go play for a contender? I don't want Ben Simmons. Well, the Lakers. Is there any good players in the buyout market, like good players? Well, we'll see. We'll see who gets bought out.
Starting point is 00:13:45 But I don't know, Luca expected to make his debut tonight against the jazz. A buyout market sounds like a used car lot. That's what it sounds. Pretty much. Javelle McGee, you know, he's like 30. 48 or whatever. But they do have Austin Reeves still, and I do need to remind everyone he went there. 45, 7, and 7.
Starting point is 00:14:03 And you scoffed at me when I said he's better than Mark Price, the legendary Calf. No, he's not. He's way better than Mark. It's not even close. Austin Reeves, 45, 7, and 7. Mark Price is maybe the most underrated player in league history. Significantly underrated, very good, but I'm just telling you, Austin Reeves, I love this guy. And now you keep Dalton Connect.
Starting point is 00:14:24 The Lakers have three white guys who are like, could be pivotal. Luca, Reeves, and Connect. All I know is Dalton Connect, Reeves, Luca LeBron. They'll be a very good offensive team. Oh, the other thing, do you watch the Celtics beat the Knicks? I watched every second of that thing. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:14:40 Boston ain't messing around. Well, when they need to turn it up, they can. Boston, they're kind of going, like the Chiefs this year. I know they were 15 and 2, but they went through the motions. Remember, they weren't killing a lot of people? I watched them play the Knicks twice, and they have hammered the Knicks twice. Also true. Nicks need to avoid them in the play.
Starting point is 00:14:56 I'd rather face Cleveland than Boston early on. J. Mac with the news. Well, that's the news. And thanks for stopping by. The Heard Lie News. By the way, Mark Cuban had a funny exchange with Bill Gates over the weekend on the Luca trade. If after you left Microsoft,
Starting point is 00:15:17 you found out that Steve Ballmer traded Windows 11, like the new hot operating system, rating system for Windows 10, the Hall of Fame, but all the upgrade. I might have to hide from the press. Yeah, listen, it was, think about this, two weeks ago. Did you have this two-team parlay, Luca to the Lakers, Chiefs Trail 34-0? I mean, think, it is hard to wrap your brains around, Kansas City behind 34-0.
Starting point is 00:16:03 For years and years, the AFC's been better at the top than the NFC. You watch Philadelphia, you're like, maybe tied to turning. Jaden Daniels, Philadelphia, Detroit. I don't know. Just things to think about. Lakers play tonight, for the record.
Starting point is 00:16:20 They've won 9 of 10. LeBron's 12.5 point favorites tonight. You want that? LeBron's last 10 games, he's been great. I mean, Reeves, Connect, LeBron, Luca, they'll score. Rui, they'll score. Do you think they could go to the NBA final?
Starting point is 00:16:34 No, no. I think with Mark Williams healthy, they could have. Mark Williams, not that he has the same style, he reminds me, remember when the Celtics had Robert Williams? And when they were playing the Warriors, and Robert Williams, when healthy, was a huge problem for the Warriors. Like, they just couldn't score at the rim. And in that series, he got banged up.
Starting point is 00:16:52 I think he's in Portland now. You could never trade. Robert Williams, I think from Texas A&M, incredibly athletic rim protector, he just, he wasn't healthy very often. He could be a buyout candidate, because they got Aiton, they got the young kid from Gonzaga, Klingin, who's like 7-2, and then they got Robert Williams. Not a bad buyout market.
Starting point is 00:17:11 Look at you. You didn't know about the buyout market five minutes ago? I've heard of the buyout market, but I don't know who's on it. I know, yeah, yeah, yeah. Rent a center. That's what they need rent a center. Be sure to catch live editions of the herd weekdays in noon Eastern 9 a.m. Pacific. Hey, it's Steve Kavino. And I'm Rich Davis.

Starting point is 00:18:34 We just contributed to our... We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how did we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band.
Starting point is 00:18:56 Before Jonas Brothers... This is how you guys remember it going down. Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, people could call in and say, Hey, Jonas. And then I broke down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys.

We were God's chosen, Kingdom on earth. He felt destined for greatness. So when a swaggering Armenian businessman catapults Jacob
Starting point is 00:20:37 into an extraordinary world, he doesn't look back. Ferraris and Lamborghinis, private jets, meeting the president of Turkey. I'm Michelle McPhee, and this is one of the most shocking criminal conspiracies I've ever come across. When Jacob met Levant this went to a billion dollar fraud. But with two kings from entirely different worlds, just how long can their empire survive? The largest tax investigation in American history.
Starting point is 00:21:06 You need to tell me what you know. Is somebody coming after me? Jacob told Levan, you're ruining my life. Listen to Kingdom of Fraud on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On Fox College Hoops Friday at 8 Eastern
Starting point is 00:21:27 UCLA takes on Omar Balo and Indiana in a primetime Big Ten battle. Bloomington's supposed to be a great college town. I took the points with UNC tonight against Clemson. Any interest? No. Okay. In watching it or betting it?
Starting point is 00:21:45 Well, Clemson just beat Duke. So obviously there'll be a pullback and I think UNC can cover or beat him straight back. I was thinking about this. You and I don't want to overreact. right like okay my holmes got blown out again in the super bowl but let's just say i was your top sales guy you run the company and i'm like i'm your top sales guy and you know there's this annual big meeting heads of state meeting and i've been in five of them and two of
Starting point is 00:22:13 them i've been atrocious three of them i've been pretty good not great but pretty good two i've been atrocious well that's who i am if jimmy garoppolo hits one pass in a Super Bowl against Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes is two and three in Super Bowls. He has twice been overwhelmed. He was awful yesterday. He had no second pitch. He was absolutely awful. You can blame everybody you want in protection. He was bad. I'm trying to think of a quarterback I've ever seen it was that bad in the Super Bowl. I don't think I've ever seen. Now, Peyton Manning was bad against the Seahawks, but Peyton's not a guy that had a lot of mobility. I mean, Mahomes does have gears and
Starting point is 00:22:50 ability to run around. And if you go look at Tom Brady and Mahomes, they're Super Bowl performances. And, again, Tom played a team like the Eagles. It was called the Seahawks, and he beat them. Now, Malcolm Butler made the interception, but Tom trailed in that game and kept battling and battling and battling. Tom Brady is a little like Derek Jeter. He was always really, really, really, really good.
Starting point is 00:23:17 Even in the Super Bowls, he was really, really, really good. Mahomes has been a bad Super Bowl quarterback. 10 touchdown, 7 picks, 86 pass-er rating. that's with two weeks to prepare an Andy Reid. If you gave Brady Andy Reed and you gave Mahomes, Belichick and Josh McDaniels, what would Brady's numbers be? And I go back to those interviews we had with Tom Brady on Friday.
Starting point is 00:23:40 They were so good. And I know you say, hey, don't, you know, let's not make too much of the game. I got five Super Bowls now, and Mahomes has not been great in any of them. Now, he's made great plays in those Super Bowls. but he has not been well Colin what did he have to work with well what did brady have to work with in his first run and it didn't have much to work with that he won three super bowls it's something i mean it's
Starting point is 00:24:08 i mean shady mccoy came on earlier today on the gap between brady and mahomes before this game i was a big guy saying hey this gap is closer than which people think right and all the success that pat has been doing lately the team and i played with pat you know so i know him and Tom shared that same winning gene of, okay, I'm going to get it done. He's moving so much
Starting point is 00:24:30 and you throw him picks, sixes and et cetera, and throwing picks. So when I look at Tom Brady where, okay, things are not going my way. They're not blocking the same way. I got to do something. I can't just sit here and get blown out.
Starting point is 00:24:41 I'm the greatest. And Tom would never had a game like this because even the family's okay, we're going to dump to the running backs, right? We're going to make this game as boring as possible. Now we're going to get a whole bunch of seconds and five, right?
Starting point is 00:24:50 Second and six. And we're going to make this game manageable. Yeah. Tom was very good. good at winning a hand without great cards. That's what he was really good at. And remember, New England could not draft a wide receiver the entire time, Tom 20 years, was in New England.
Starting point is 00:25:08 Edelman was a college quarterback who developed into an excellent receiver. They couldn't draft a wide receiver to save their life. They had a defensive coach. They got some nice tight ends. Gronk was obviously amazing, the late Aaron Hernandez. but if you look at New England, they always had more great defensive players than offensive players, and Brady figured out a way
Starting point is 00:25:29 to make James White out of Wisconsin an incredible threat in a Super Bowl and incredible threat in playoff runs. Edelman was a college quarterback at Kent State. I mean, Wes Welker was known before he got, when he was in Miami, he's a really good punt returner. So, I mean, Brady took Dion Branch and Wes Welker and Edelman and a lot of huge parts.
Starting point is 00:25:51 and then when he did get Randy Moss, he broke every NFL record, right? Like, he was just explosive. So I don't think it's being too harsh on Mahomes to go, dude, I got five Super Bowls against a bunch of different coaches, and you haven't been great. You've had great moments. But it just bothered me the lack of kind of second pitch. Matt Hasselback earlier on Mahom's struggles last night.
Starting point is 00:26:13 Clearly, he did not have a great day, and that's sports, and that happens. But it is a team sport. And so, like, yes, the legacy and all that kind of thing. But there were moments when he was trying to put the team on his back. And again, I just think, like, pass protection is huge. The turnovers and then guys playing, like, really, like, we're just beating ourselves. We're laid off the ball. We're dropping passes.
Starting point is 00:26:35 We're having penalties where it just was just not their night. I don't know what all went into that. But that was an unrecognizable team to me. And, J. Mack, I wanted to throw this at you. So over the last, let's say, you know, Burrow, Josh Allen, Lamar, Mahomes, we felt like the AFC was the conference of maybe better coaching, but absolutely better quarterbacks. That's why it's, I mean, I think this year I went four for foreign divisions. The AFCs become the easier conference to predict, whereas Jalen Hertz is the only quarterback in the NFC in the last 11 years to go to two Super Bowls.
Starting point is 00:27:16 like right like it's you every year you get a different quarterback in the Super Bowl from the NFC it's a harder uh division harder conference to predict aFC's pretty easy but you start looking at the NFC now jaden Daniels there's no mistaking he's going to be a playoff quarterback and jalen hurts now with this roster okay that's that's a playoff quarterback can Caleb Williams hit and i i wonder if we have a little bit of a pendulum swing is that whereas the AFC was the conference of quarterbacks. The NFC in the last seven, eight years. San Francisco, Philly, Detroit had the better rosters.
Starting point is 00:27:56 San Francisco had about a five-year stretch. That was the best roster. Philadelphia now, the last three years. That's the best roster. Detroit's probably second best the last several years. So it's been like the NFC, Niners, Eagles, Lions, those are the best rosters. Those are better than Kansas City's roster. Do you think a lot of that has to do with the AFC guys paying
Starting point is 00:28:16 their quarterbacks and having to pair back, scale back on the offensive line defense. I think it's AFC teams just hitting on them, and then some of it's luck. I mean, nobody thought Jaden Daniels would be this good. But hold on. Are you willing to put Jalen Hertz in that category with the Big Four, the Fantastic Four, whatever you want to call? No, I'm not. No, I'm not.
Starting point is 00:28:36 Again, you did this with Brock Purdy, contextualized Brock Purdy. When he had all these guys and Kyle Shanahan in their prime or closer to their prime, He looked great. If you put Jalen Hertz on Carolina with a terrible O line, does he look like this? No, he's not a great pocket. When you have four beats, 1001, 1002. My only problem with that, Colin, you could do that with every...
Starting point is 00:28:59 Joe Montana without Jerry Rice and John Taylor and Bill Walsh. Like, I don't want to do that. I need to ask you, based on what these guys have accomplished, I don't see why Hertz isn't in that category. If you don't want to put him top four, at least make him five. You don't want to talk about it. That is the only discussion as a GM. That is it. Jimmy Garapolo, let's re-sign him.
Starting point is 00:29:20 No, it's the players and the coach. Brock Purdy's $60 million. Outrageous. That's a little different discussion. Well, your job as a GM is to figure out what is fools gold or deceptive, Dak Prescott. The minute he loses top receivers, you're paying $60 million for a $38 million quarterback.
Starting point is 00:29:38 Fair enough. So then who do you have as the fifth best goal? We know who the top four are that's unequivoccur. I think there are four great quarterbacks in this league. Helms, Alan Lamar, Burrow. And then I think it's all situational five through ten. Jared Goff with protection is really good. Jalen Hertz with the greatest roster in 10 years is really good.
Starting point is 00:30:00 Jared Goff had protection against a bad Washington defense and did a horrible performance. Maybe he was concussed, who knows. But again, he's not number five. By number five. You need a number five. I need to hear it. I don't have one. You got three minutes.
Starting point is 00:30:11 I don't have one. Come on. Come on. Is it Trevor Lawrence? No, it's circumstantial. Is it C.J. Stroud? It's almost like this. If you said in the NBA, who is going to be the best player in the league next year?
Starting point is 00:30:23 And I'm going to go, Wembe. And then who's going to be the second best player? And I would probably say if he was in shape, Luca or Yonis. Yonich. Yeah, right, right, right. Yeah, Yokich. I'd say Wemby next year or Yokich. Yolkich, Wemby.
Starting point is 00:30:38 But by the time you get to four, I'm like, well, I like SGA, but what if he was on a team where he didn't get all those shots? There's a lot of, I mean, he's a good play. I'm not denying, I'm not denying Jalen Hertz deserves all the flowers. But we have, in my lifetime, we have never had five Hall of Fame quarterbacks
Starting point is 00:30:57 all in their prime. In my, I've been watching football since the 70s. You usually get two to three, like Brady, Manning, Big Ben, and there's a little drop-off. And my whole life, like, Marino, Elway, who, However, there's a little drop-off. You don't get five unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:31:16 I think we have four all-timers. Then it is circumstantial. Really talented guys. Herbert, Hertz. Right? Herbert, sure. Jordan Love, I think, super talented. Hertz has now been dominant in two Super Bowls.
Starting point is 00:31:33 He outplayed Mahomes in both of them. You and I would agree. Mahomes, very good quarterback. Like you said, struggled in Super Bowls. The lights are bright. What does Jail and Hertz do? I mean, he's amazing. Two awesome.
Starting point is 00:31:42 And one more point. It's not like this is just two Super Bowls. He had a 13 game stretch of season where he had 33 touchdowns and one turnover. Let me ask you. Colin. It was contextually. How's he not five? I want you to think like a GM, not a fan.
Starting point is 00:31:54 Okay. Who's the best running back in the NFL? This season or? Yeah. Sequin Barkley this season. Oh, okay, okay. Jalen Hurts has him. Who has the best offensive line in football?
Starting point is 00:32:04 Your GM? I would say the Eagles are the best. Oh, Jaylon Hurts says that. Who has the best one, two, receiving ten? in the league. Excuse me, I couldn't hear you. I'm thinking. Oh, it looks like Philadelphia, but I'm not supposed to, oh, by the way, what team
Starting point is 00:32:18 who's the most under-rended tied-in in the league? But you still got to deliver. He still has to make the plays, not turn the football over. It's much easier to deliver when you have, like Brock Purdy three years ago, eight Hall of Famers around you. It's
Starting point is 00:32:34 much easier when I'm a point guard, when I pass to Luca and he hits a jumper, than when I'm passing to a G-leger. So, okay, so to back up, you have four guys who are a superstars. And after that, we just don't know. It changes every week. I think we have four unbelievable all-time talents. Then I think we have players, Justin Herbert without a great coach.
Starting point is 00:32:55 He's in that group. Justin Herbert with a great coach. He's not to say. So like Justin Herbert with the Eagles would win 17 Super Bowls. Okay, fine, fine, fine. I get that. So who is it? It's Herbert and Hertz.
Starting point is 00:33:06 And who else? I don't have it. Is Dak in that group? No. Okay. Thank you. Is Jared Goff in that hurt server? No, no.
Starting point is 00:33:14 You got to have. Is Jordan Love in there? Let me throw a name at you. And I don't think this is a reach. Jaden Daniel. Stop! 16 games, my guy. That's it.
Starting point is 00:33:24 Stop it. No. He can't be after one season. I did not need to watch a second show from David Copperfield to say that guy is a magician notable exception. Come on. One season. of Jaded?
Starting point is 00:33:40 Why don't? Oh, oh, oh. We saw one season of C.J. Stroud. Oh, my goodness. Top seven. What happened in year two? A little sophomore slump, as they like to say. Be nice if anybody stayed healthy on the team.
Starting point is 00:33:53 Now we're making excuses. And they're going to fire his garbage O.C. If you put C.J. Stroud with Dallas Goddard, A.J. Brown, DeVonte Smith, Sequin Barkley. You don't think he could get to a Super Bowl? So now we just plug any quarterback in and the Eagles will be winning. Oh, okay. That's what we're doing.
Starting point is 00:34:07 I didn't say. Bryce Young. Your guy, your new buddy. You got his number, right? You guys texting? A little bromance happening? Maybe. I may need to do Herdline News guy after this segment.
Starting point is 00:34:17 Bryce is very with it, very current. Live in L.A. The Hurd. Hey, guys, it's us. The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what?
