Starting point is 00:00:05 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the right time, a wave original. My name is Beaumani Jones. Thanks for listening wherever you get your podcast. Thanks for watching us on YouTube. Subscribe, like, rate us, review us. Give us five stars. You only give us four stars. I'm inclined to believe you are a hater.
Starting point is 00:00:23 We got a lot going on. We got a lot of college football stuff. We got the police out here acting bad, right? Trying to figure out what's going on with some of these quarterbacks. But yesterday, we got a great slum. of NFL football. And not only did we get a great slate of NFL football, we got a great slate of NFL football while still in the midst of the by weeks, right? Where you're still looking up and being like, damn, where is that team? Like, oh, where are the Colts? The Colts got a week off
Starting point is 00:00:52 after they took that ass whooping last week. And then it's like, damn, where are the Saints? And it was very disappointing for the rest of the NFL that the Saints didn't play because if they did, somebody would win. You know what I mean? Like, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, They bring joy all across America. They like a spirit squad. That's how I look at them. But I have to be honest, I'm talking about that great slate of gains.
Starting point is 00:01:18 It was really a great slate of gains on paper. Right? A lot of good matchups, a lot of intriguing matchups. Not that many, like actual factual great games, but I did think the games were interesting. And look, the crown jewels of the weekend. I think that we would agree.
Starting point is 00:01:40 The two games that we were most looking for were, actually we had three of them, but we're on lock you out on two of them right now. The game of the week CBS had was Broncos and the Chiefs. Then we had the night game, the Lions, and the Eagles. And because you guys are typically curious about these things, yes, I went to Nick's house for the Chiefs and the Broncos. And I left after the first quarter, could tell. It was getting a little bit tense. And then the 12 year old when I left looked at me and said,
Starting point is 00:02:09 so I'm going to have to deal with this all by myself. And unfortunately, darling, that was exactly what was going to happen, man, because it was like we wasn't even there. You know what I'm saying? Like, the only way we could be there is by being annoyed, right? My man got focused. He was in on that. So anyway, watched some of that game over there, came back, watched the game at the crib, also had Eagles and Lions that night. And sorry, I just had this moment where I got a little salty about the Lions losing again. But anyway, the macro overarching theme that I had about that game, and it's going to tie to some other games too.
Starting point is 00:02:50 But it really was overarching. I came out about that game was, I don't feel like anybody came out of that game feeling good about their team. Either one of those games. I don't think anybody did. I was looking at all threads yesterday. I do that from time to time. Anyway,
Starting point is 00:03:06 Jemelle Hill is in a tweet. I'm reading it now and she says, so after beating the Lions, is the media going to spend this week talking about the Eagles like they're two and eight instead of eight and two? And the answer is, yeah, pretty much, that's what we're going to do.
Starting point is 00:03:20 Except it's not really so much that we're going to talk about the Eagles like they two and eight. We're going to talk about them like they got a two and eight offense that has eight and two talent. And there's just no, they are an awful watch. Like, Ryan, I think that's maybe
Starting point is 00:03:34 the thing that makes this most interesting, it's not simply that they're not good on offense. They're hard to watch. Yeah, you see why they're not good at offense. It ain't even like they're trying to be good. I remember I texted you this last night. They look like a team that needs to make a trade for a game-changing wide receiver.
Starting point is 00:03:49 Except they have one of those. They got two of them. They drafted one. They traded for one. They've got two game-changing wire receivers. They got pretty good running back, right? They have a not bad quarterback. So that's the thing I think we have to say about Hertz.
Starting point is 00:04:01 And I'm curious if you agree with me about this one. one where I do think that Hertz is a limited quarterback and they're not even getting to the limit of the limited. Right. They just like don't, they're telling everybody just don't mess nothing up. We keep talking about how mad AJ Brown is. I assure you, everybody over there has got to be mad. Right.
Starting point is 00:04:19 Like, I'm starting to like him even more because I feel like he's taking the fall for the whole squad, right? He has decided, fine, I'll do it. Right. I'll say something. If they all said something, maybe it would be a little bit better. The owner had to come down and talk to him. And I'm sure the owner started with,
Starting point is 00:04:38 Hey, hey, hey, I know. Right. I know. Here's my question for you, Ryan. Where do you think they had that conversation? And so Jeffrey Lurie, the owner of the Eagles, they said they put it out there. He had a meeting with A.J. Brown.
Starting point is 00:04:49 And they basically were like, man, not, just don't do it on. You're asking you even got called to the principal's office? Well, no. Did they, I'm not even supposed to get called to the principal's office, but like, well, yes. Yeah. There we go. A much nicer principal's office.
Starting point is 00:05:01 As a result. Yeah. Right. Except I don't think it was ever going to be like the principal's office because I would know if I was A.J. Brown, that we're just going to have a chat here. Right. Right. Because there ain't no way in the world he think this shit is okay. He didn't want paying for it. Yeah. Right. So like if A.J. Brown has a problem and he gets paid for it. What do you think the guy that's paying for it feels about it? And not just paying him paying Hertz. Yes. Yeah. All of these people to score like 15 points. So like did they come up in the all? And I'm not. Did they come up in the.
Starting point is 00:05:32 office and you know how the office will be set up, whereas the desk, but then there's also a very nice couch and coffee table. Maybe a nice view. Right. Yeah. With snacks and all kinds of things. Like, you know, would you like a latte? I can have somebody go make one for you.
Starting point is 00:05:47 Yeah. Right. Like, was the chat along those terms? Did the odor come down to the locker room during practice? They'd be like, hey, AJ, let's talk over here to the side. Yeah. And they just posted up. Was it like when they had that team meeting?
Starting point is 00:05:59 I was about to say it was in the parking lot. They actually just met the bargain lot, right? And then when, when Jeffrey Lurie is like, hey, man, just not in front of everybody. Because, look, that was the ESPN room, right? Right. Just not in front of everybody. Like, the only times they ever called me was stop fighting with your colleagues on.
Starting point is 00:06:25 In front of God and everyone. Yes, like that was kind of like the, I told the, I guess I wasn't here, when I was telling the Chris Rous. Did I tell the Chris Broussar story on here? Yes. Okay. Yes.
Starting point is 00:06:36 You did not use his name, but yes, you told that story. Okay. It was Chris Brousar. Okay. We're homies, so it's okay. But they were just like, come on, man. Or at one time I was giving it to Darren Reveil once. They were like, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Starting point is 00:06:50 That's the only time they ever called was about that. I could have said what I wanted about anybody else, about anything else. But you messy-ass blogs, that's when y'all show up. is when we start talking about each other. People want media beef. I hold this show back at every turn by me thinking it's just a little bit cheap and chintzy for me to jump in to ESPN beef or to complain about ESPN or to talk to y'all about why y'all so mad at Stephen A. Smith and participate in that conversation, anything else.
Starting point is 00:07:23 Brother, we would be doing bananas numbers. It makes no sense to me. You guys care more about. that than you do about actual factual sports. I don't know what it is. Like it used to be I got tired of it when I meet people and they want to ask me questions about this team, that team, whatever it is. Then it turned into, they just want to know mess about like every, like not even about like, hey, babe, she is fine, and she look like she is on TV? Nope, not even that. Maybe it's because you appreciate my decency. I don't know. Nah, y'all just want to get into some minutes.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Yes. That's all it is. And in line with that, Jeffrey Lurie is like, look, man, they all really care that much about sports. They just want to talk about mess. So if you could give us a little less mess. And he said, fine, could y'all give me the ball? And Jeffrey Lurie said, hey, man, I can't give you, I can't, I can't do everything here. Can't change the world. Right, right, right, right. Like, look, man, I'll actually play for the team. And that law offense looked terrible. Now, granted, the Detroit Lions who are, I got thoughts on them. But anyway, the defense is good and the defense played well. But the Eagles offense is bad.
Starting point is 00:08:40 And there's no way you win that game and come out of it feeling good. You just can't. On the other hand, you know, the Dan Campbell played calling experiment. I don't fully understand how I feel about it. I thought that he got way too cute at points in that game. Like, for example, you got the ball
Starting point is 00:09:01 inside the 10-yard line. It's like on the five, it's third down. Why are you running out of the shotgun, Dan? I don't, as much as he is, oh, man's man, right? I owe an apology to Big Brain Ben. Because apparently it's Dan Campbell with the big brain. And buddy, don't nobody want that from you? What are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:09:23 Like I saw somebody make the point about Megan the Stallion that now that she's, you know, in love, that if she think anybody want to hear her rap about that shit, she got this game messed up, right? I understand that completely, right? 100% totally get that. Dan Campbell, we don't, don't nobody hire you to be the coach
Starting point is 00:09:46 to run out of the shotgun on third and goal from the five. Just throwing it out there. At the same time, Jerry Gough, they knocked him off his square and he was done for him. He just didn't have it, didn't have it. But I did not come away from this game feeling like, those are two very good teams. I did come out of that thinking the Eagles defense is monstrous.
Starting point is 00:10:10 And shout out to Howie Roseman, who seemed to figure out, okay, why would I trade for things on offense that we're not going to use? That wouldn't make any sense. Why don't I just make this defense a little bit more terrified? Go get Jalen Johnson, terror. Right. Great job. Yeah, I mean, and also, you know, that plan of,
Starting point is 00:10:32 let's draft guys from Georgia. Yes. Seems to work. So it's funny, because I joke about it with the Bengals, where the Bengals notoriously have a bare-bone scouting department.
Starting point is 00:10:43 Right. And they just got a bunch of guys that you could watch with bunny ears on their TVs, guys that go to places like, Ohio State, Clemson, LSU. Like, they're not digging into crates.
Starting point is 00:10:54 If they didn't solve the ESPN YouTube TV thing, they wouldn't be able to scout. No, they drafted everybody that you would draft. Right. And by the way, generally great decisions, right? Like, not decisions that you would overthink, but Jamar Chase, if it came down to who did you take Jamar Chase and Pena Sewell, you would take Jamar Chase.
Starting point is 00:11:11 Correct. Right? And they did. Yeah. Like that's, those are the kinds of picks that they made. But yeah, the Eagles were just like, wow, we went down to Georgia and they had a zillion, really good player. They even drafted a couple guys from Georgia that aren't that good.
Starting point is 00:11:24 Yeah. They just keep giving it a try. They got the two defensive tackles from Georgia. They got Nacobo Bee Dean. Yeah. They got him. I feel like they got, well, Malachi Starks, he went to Georgia, right? Right.
Starting point is 00:11:35 And he's not that good. Right. Like, it's a great place to start from. If Georgia says you're good, maybe you're good. But they're doing that. They've got that. Their offense is not good. The Broncos seem to be basically a same version of that team.
Starting point is 00:11:52 And I understand this, guys. If you go look at that box score, it's going to tell you that Bo Nix was pretty good slash just fine. And I understand why you would think that. he is not good, right? Even if he played pretty good in that game, he ain't, he ain't it. And it wasn't like watching that game. You got the feeling like he was it.
Starting point is 00:12:16 He was not, okay? But look, they put up 22 points and they won that game. He is not it. I need help understanding what I'm supposed to do with the chiefs, who just a couple of weeks ago, I was pretty sure that they were back and they were the best team in the AFC. And by the way, I think it is possible that they're the best team in the AFC.
Starting point is 00:12:39 Mahomes did not play a very good game. Mahomes had a couple of big shots that were there that we have grown accustomed to him making and that he simply missed. Like, there were many ways in which the chiefs could have won this game. It is, this is the weirdest thing. You're not going to have a situation where you're going to say something like this very often. It is still possible that they are, the best team in the league.
Starting point is 00:13:04 I mean, in the AFC. I mean, leave it at that. It's still possible. Ryan, the only problem is it's going to take a lot for them to make the playoffs. Right. They probably need to go,
Starting point is 00:13:20 they're five and five. They probably need to go five and two, maybe even six and one. Okay, so try this. Here's where it gets fun. Playoff start today. 17 is going to the playoffs. Broncos, Patriots, Colts, Steelers,
Starting point is 00:13:31 bills, chargers, Jaguars. We got three teams at five and five. Okay, and just to let you know what five and five is, the fucking dolphins are four and seven. Okay, you're this close to be in them. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:47 Five and five is the Texans, the Chiefs, and the Ravens. Okay. Somewhere between two and three of those teams are not going to the playoffs. Right. Like, it is entirely possible that Patrick Mahones and
Starting point is 00:14:04 Lamar Jackson are going to be at the crib for the playoffs. Right. It's looking like, listen to this. Quarterbacks said the playoffs started today. Bonitz, Drake May, Daniel Jones, the ghost of Aaron Rogers or
Starting point is 00:14:22 Mason Rudolph. The new Josh Allen that looked like the old Josh Allen pinning that. whatever the hell Justin Herbert is. Yeah. And Trevor Lawrence,
Starting point is 00:14:36 who's a player in the NFL, right? That's what it's looking like over there. But again, I didn't come out of this feeling great about the Broncos. I didn't come out of this feeling great
Starting point is 00:14:47 about the Chiefs. What I did come out of it thinking, though, and this is a very interesting question in this day and age, is this possible? Can you 2000 Ravens your way to a championship? Because it appears that that is
Starting point is 00:14:59 what the Broncos and the Eagles are going to try to do. We are going to try to hold you guys to 17 points a game and cobble together the rest of it. And by the way, we might be able to do it. Right. You have the guys. But can you do that in 2025 NFL football? Because if you can, everybody building teams wrong. Like this is, this, now again, the Eagles just have an overwhelming level of talent. And again, winning got another pass rusher. The Broncos, who I promise you, have the most amazing defense with a bunch of dudes. I don't know who they are. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:35 Like, I watch this Bonito guy. He seems to be very good. I hope he doesn't rob me one day because if he does, I couldn't tell the cop shit. I don't know nothing about him. I don't know nothing about any of these guys. Like, I'm looking at all the names. How are you this good?
Starting point is 00:15:50 And I don't know who anybody is except for my man that y'all keep picking on. How many flags do they call around him? Moss. They kept showing the graphic. He had the most DPI calls in the league seven this year and two to yesterday. Oh, my God. One of them, come on, man. At least one of them.
Starting point is 00:16:09 Speaking of that, the Lions had a chance to get the ball back. And they called such a Jackie Passing to Fearers call on Rock Yassim at the end there. And it's so crazy. Like, why would you think it was passing or Bears just because the Eagles couldn't catch the ball? They can't never catch the ball. Yeah. an errant pass to AJ Brown, that's their offense.
Starting point is 00:16:29 And it was a terrible call to me by the Eagles. You knew you weren't going to make anything happen. You should have made them burn that last time out. Like the lines are going to get the ball back and have one time out and an off chance that they could have made something happen. There was another terrible passing affairs. It was easier when I didn't have a team. Anyway, are they going to try to, like, defense their way to a championship?
Starting point is 00:16:51 And if they are, is anybody else trying to do that? This is a tease into another block. I don't think anybody could come out of the weekend feeling worse about themselves relative to how they felt going into the weekend than fans of the Seahawks. I got a text from you. Does that say Donald's thrown four interceptions? Yes, that is what I said. That is exactly the intent.
Starting point is 00:17:25 I have been watching Chiefs and Broncos. And then I came home from Nick's house. And so, you know, Nick got all the screens, right? It's like Buffalo Wild Wings over there. Like, you can watch all the games. I typically don't watch football like that. I just got the one. But this is the rare time where it was like multiple games,
Starting point is 00:17:42 not that I simply wanted to watch, but that I would like to have paid attention to. Right. Right. And it turned out to be everything going on over there. But anyway, I'm not really paying attention to Rams Seahawks, which is honestly, that was the game with the best teams, one would have argued.
Starting point is 00:18:01 Like, I think we were talking coming into that game, that they may be the best two teams. Okay. I look up, I see what the score is. I'm like, oh, okay, I go on to box score, and I see the Sam Donald has four interceptions, and it's the third quarter. And they were bad, and they were bad.
Starting point is 00:18:17 It's not like the arm put interceptions or DB making great, it's, you're playing someone who's a lot worse than mad than you, interceptions, where they're just thrown in the, thrown in the linebackers. And what we have learned here is that I have made this point before, you can get better, but you can't become a new person. Right. Right?
Starting point is 00:18:42 Like, that's the thing about quarterbacks and a lot of these guys. They can get better, but they can't become different. They can't become new. And what your hope had to be from Sam Darnold after watching the first six years of his career was that somehow he would become something different, right? He got better. He's still who he was because those looked like Sam. I'm seeing Ghost Arnold plays and interceptions.
Starting point is 00:19:13 When I went back and got a chance to check him out, I'm like, oh, ho, ho, yeah, he's not terribly different. He just got better. And Ryan, does this also perhaps apply to Matthew Stafford? Yeah. because Sam Darno threw four interceptions in that game, and the Seahawks lost that game by two points. Yeah, well, missed a field goal at the gun, you know, like,
Starting point is 00:19:36 the Seahoe just that field goal. And yeah, you, you, with, we're talking about this going into the game, they might have the two best defenses in the NFL. They might, they might. But Matthew Stafford, Matthew Stafford looked not like Matthew Stafford in the sense that he didn't give the ball away in the course of this, because apparently he's having one of those years
Starting point is 00:19:55 where I just don't throw interceptions anymore. Right. Right? Like this happens. I want to watch Nick Foles have one of those years, right? This just, this goes. We're like, okay, I don't do this right now. Stafford was 15 for 28 for 130 yards.
Starting point is 00:20:10 Yeah. Like, this was, they did not look great either. Are both of these teams going to try to Baltimore Ravens their way into success? Is that going to be the strategy that they have to employ? But I don't feel like anybody comes out of that game. No. Feeling much better about their team.
Starting point is 00:20:35 I don't think anybody came out of Buffalo, Tampa Bay, feeling better about their team. But for Buffalo, is it going to be like this for the rest of the year? because this is two straight weeks that we have had a 2020, Josh Allen sighting. We're this close to him throwing Hail Mary bombs in overtime to a square body into playoffs, Josh Allen. Now, granted, we also got this new and improved Josh Allen.
Starting point is 00:21:13 But do you remember earlier this year when people were trying to make the honest to God argument that Josh Allen was playing quarterback as well as anybody had ever played quarterback at history of the NFL? Right. Ain't nobody saying that right now. No. That's not it. Like, he's that dude, but they, it's got, are they just asking for him to do too much? And they're, they're at the point now.
Starting point is 00:21:33 They're healthy scratching receivers. Their tight ends are getting hurt. They have an awful run defense. So if Josh Allen's going to carry, these, he's going to have to score 35 points every playoff game. They're going to play a lot of games on the road and that run defense part. Look, there's nothing worse that you can say about a football team that they can't stop the run. Like if you think about this, there's nothing that feels more demoralizing to watch.
Starting point is 00:21:56 You have eliminated all the risk, but still allowing for the possibility for explosion. And you're watching that your quarterback just sit there for. Yes. Just over there on the sideline. And it's Buffalo, so they're going to have a big old jacket. Right. He's probably tired of being out there to damn damn do cats anyway. Yeah. But they can't, they can't stop a nosebleed on the ground. But it was fun to watch. It was highly entertaining to watch. It was highly entertaining to watch what the Josh Allen show was. He had that crazy flick play that he tried to make at that point. The two interceptions that he had were they were not good.
Starting point is 00:22:32 Even the one that was on fourth down, that was not a good interception. They could keep talking about how he accounted for five touchdowns, and that's cool, but it was all over the place. Tampa Bay, they was running on them with the dude that I ain't even heard of. Sean Tucker guy, like, he was out there looking like, did he wear number 44 in Syracuse? because he was out there looking like Jim Brown. Like, did he get the Floyd Little Jersey? You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:22:58 Like, were they allowing him? Or was he just a dude that went to Syracuse? But they, nah, nah. And it's funny. Tampa Bay has two examples of better, but are they the same? And that is Baker Mayfield and Todd Bowles? Right. Right, like, Todd Bowles, this is...
Starting point is 00:23:19 You can get better, but you can't change. Yeah, yeah. yeah, this is, this is the question, but oh my God, just for all of them, I'm just looking at it. Like, Ty Bowles, remember when Taubles had to go for two a couple of times in this game, right? Yeah. And you know he hated it. I hated it. You know he hated it so much just for them to like not get it.
Starting point is 00:23:36 Yeah. Like, that was the thing, just for you to not get it, I kept having to go for two. Yeah. Because if you don't get the first one, you got to keep going and going. And you could see him on the sideline just being miserable. What is this, man? What are we doing? But that was another one where it was just kind of like,
Starting point is 00:23:56 hey, man, nobody, nobody can feel good about the team that we came out of here with. Nobody can. So is that, is it just that time of year? Or the Bears, they still got that horseshoe in there, Ursa Keister. Yeah. And they got another win.
Starting point is 00:24:13 This is J.J. McCarthy. Yeah, I was about to say, talking about quarterbacks who are not it. I mean, there's still time, right? He probably had like what, like five starts, not easy? Yeah, yeah. But I'm going to say this, Sam Darnold, everybody who's on the, don't they feel stupid for getting rid of Sam Darnold,
Starting point is 00:24:29 did you watch this game that just happened? Right. Like what they saw with Sam Darnold, I imagine, is a full on understanding and realization that this can only go so far with this guy, right, that everybody knows and understands. It can only go so far with this guy. So we're just not going to do that.
Starting point is 00:24:50 How about that? We're going to roll the dice on the kid. It's a 15, and I think that's the problem is that it's a 15 year play, not a one year play. And we can, our brains can only look at football through the lens of a one year play. That's it. Speaking of entertaining, I don't know how much you got to watch, James. We got, we got the full James too.
Starting point is 00:25:11 The full James, yeah. There's the thing about James. If nothing else, James is decisive. He just doesn't make great decisions. Correct. You know, he likes finality. He decides, though. Correct.
Starting point is 00:25:22 He hit him with a Harlem shake. Like, look, man, Joe Flacco was in line with this, and I agree with this more than ever. If I'm going to run a team and I'm going to get a backup quarterback, it's going a fun one. Right. Like, we're probably going to lose. Might as well throw it around. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:39 Why not have a good time? Everybody has a good time with James is there. If you're going to lose, you might as well be fun. Right. that's what James did. Meanwhile, Packers, you guys aren't having any fun, are you? No. Can't be.
Starting point is 00:25:57 Can't be. And by the way, I didn't think Jordan Love played badly in this game. He just gives you such high highs that you expect so much more. And he has not done that for a few weeks. Dude, man, he's throwing the ball to, like, people who came to the game. You know what I mean? Like, if you showed up to the game in the jersey that you bought, was a number for an eligible receiver.
Starting point is 00:26:23 Hey, man. How'd you like your dreams to come true? Right? Like, how'd you like that? We're out here just making everybody feel good. How would you feel about that? That was what it seemed like again for that team. Like, it doesn't, it feels like that's a team
Starting point is 00:26:41 that everybody knows. This isn't, I don't even know the right word to use, but this isn't it. because they was down to the wire with the Giants. Like the Giants had the opportunity to go ahead and win that game. They just did not pull that off, but it was there. The coachless, quarterbackless New York Giants. You're right.
Starting point is 00:27:03 Yeah. There's nobody there to even check roll. Yeah, I don't even know who the interim is. Oh, yeah, yeah, to give him the OC a shot. Yeah, that's how you know that they fired Brian Dayball. for messing up the rental car. Yeah. Because they just, they kept the same offense.
Starting point is 00:27:25 Yeah, they didn't put the, they didn't put the adult who's like the random staffer in charge. Yeah, the live backers coach. Yeah, exactly. They did not, they did not give him the job. No, no, no, no. They were just like, no, no, the problem is not what you think it is. By the way, Mason Rudolph is probably going to play
Starting point is 00:27:40 because they think Eric Rogers got a broken leverist. And the idea that Mason Rudolph still plays NFL football is kind of bananas. they've done this experiment with him like four different times. He's been there forever. But what he is is a backup quarterback. Yeah. And what he is that we used to have in the NFL that we don't have anymore is he's the long-term backup quarterback. Like if Mason Rudolph has any coach in him, he can have this job for, like he'll work with the Steelers forever.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Gary Kubiak just hitched his wagon to John Elway and wrote that for decades. I mean, he has been, like, I feel like, especially because they keep. trying to bring in starters. Yes. Like, so like, they did one of these with Trubisky. I feel like he left and then came back. He did a year in Tennessee. That's right.
Starting point is 00:28:33 Yeah. Like, just been there forever. Remember that time, Miles Garrett tried to take his hit off. That, that happened. That happened. Also, what's up with your manager, Marce? I spent on people. It's been a long year in Cincinnati.
Starting point is 00:28:53 Yo, so the trick bag is he obviously spit on him. Right. Is there a world of plausible, but I didn't mean to? Like an Elmer Fudd situation? Okay. Yes. Yes. That is, that is the thuffer and thucketash kind of thing.
Starting point is 00:29:10 All right. So here's the thing. All right. You'll never convince Jalen Ramsey of this. Correct. Right? Don't even bother with that one. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:21 You just need to apologize no matter what you. tried to do. Is it possible, though, to an uninvested party that this happened? I don't know. I, I, I, yeah, that was, that was all bad. Tough look. I can't, but see, here's the thing about it. It's a tough year for Cincinnati, yes, but y'all, yes, and y'all are losing, but hey, man. You're getting him the ball. That's what I'm saying. He's happier than AJ Brown. He only had three for 30. That's the, that's the one thing. But at least they wouldn't, like, that's, who, who, who, who, who, who. That's a great question. Who's having a worse year?
Starting point is 00:29:59 8.2, A.J. Brown or three and seven? J. Mar Jace. Jbar Chase. Who, by the way, wow, it's 79 catches, but it's only 8601 yards. He's average to 11 yards a catch. And they're losing.
Starting point is 00:30:19 Not happy. Yeah, but not A.J. Bro. What if you could consider? consistently find whatever it is you're looking for right away.

All right, let's get to some more stories from the weekend.
Starting point is 00:32:44 Shador Sanders got some action as Dillon Gabriel went out with the concussion. Had a tough time. Four for 16, 47 yards and interception. Bo, were you surprised by this performance by Shadour? I mean, it's an impossible situation for him as it typically is for anybody in that situation, right? Right. You haven't played any NFL football. You haven't gone with, you haven't practiced with the starters ever.
Starting point is 00:33:12 No, no. Yeah, it was going to look bad, right? What you'd hope was for like some flash here and there. And he had that 120-yard pass that probably would make you feel good. But the idea that he hasn't been practicing with starters doesn't sound nearly as crazy to me, as it does to everybody else. To the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, I just don't understand why everybody thinks that the world is against this rich kid.
Starting point is 00:33:41 Like, what are you talking about? Like, this is not, I just don't, I don't, I don't understand the grand conspiracy against somebody who kind of makes money for people if he gets out there. I would think that they want him to be good if anything else. Now, look, Stefancy clearly does not believe. And I do believe that. DeFansky probably has an investment in being right. I do this job. I fully understand being invested in wanting to be correct, right? Like I know how that goes. But they started the season with
Starting point is 00:34:08 him as their fourth team quarterback. The 14 quarterback is not going to get reps with the starter. I do not believe. He then comes into the year and he is the 13 quarterback. Okay. I don't really think that that player is going to get reps with the starters. They traded Joe Flacko. and they made Dylan Gabriel the starter, and that made Chador Sanders the second stream quarterback. But the first string quarterback is a rookie who clearly needs reps.
Starting point is 00:34:38 I'm not surprised that Chador does not get reps under those circumstances. The bottom line is, whether you think this is fair or right or not, they don't think he's got a future. Right. They don't. And they go to work with him every day.
Starting point is 00:34:52 Yeah, yeah, yeah. They don't believe it. I don't think that they're trying to run him out of the league. they don't think that there's a future in him. They think there's a future in Dylan Gabriel. Now, I don't think that there's a future in Dylan Gabriel, but for whatever reason, they do. And so they are treating him like there's a future.
Starting point is 00:35:11 Basically, they're like, we need to figure out what we got in Dylan Gabriel because otherwise we got to go get a quarterback. There's nothing that they believe that Shredor-Sanders can show them to make them believe that, hey, maybe we don't need to go draft a quarterback next year. We've got this guy. Now, I would think that by now they would have learned this also about Dylan Gabriel, and I think there's a good chance that Shador starts next week, depending on what kind of
Starting point is 00:35:31 concussion. Dylan Gabriel has. C.J. Stroud's been out for two weeks with a concussion, by the way. Like, these things happen. Okay. But we're reached a point now where I don't think he's, I don't think he's that good. I don't think he's going to be that good. I think it's obvious. But if you think he's going to be good and then you see him and he doesn't look good, is it always going to be yeah but like at every turn is this going to be yeah but and this idea that he of all people is this aggrieved party that is being held back
Starting point is 00:36:06 he with the beloved father right like it would be different if people didn't like Dion which is not the case people love Dion yeah right and in part because Dion is a full on debaute of football culture right he is the he is the ultimate promotion of what football can do for you and everything else. But I don't buy this idea that they just, that they just,
Starting point is 00:36:29 they try to keep their jobs over there. They really, really, really trying to keep their jobs over there. And it's not a guarantee. And so I see no reason to chastise him for the way that he played. It was always going to be tough for him. I think that it would be wise for the Browns since they have nothing to play for. And Dylan Gabriel's coming off a head injury
Starting point is 00:36:50 to go ahead and give Shador a week. let them play y'all gonna lose regardless right like so that's your best argument should door hive we sorry anyway why let's not why not have a good time they do play the Ravens next week
Starting point is 00:37:05 so they could squeak out a win somehow some way they could but I'll tell you the Ravens defense has not the Ravens the Raiders they played the Ravens yeah I was just about to say damn a home and home but you're right they could squeak out a win
Starting point is 00:37:21 And maybe that's why they don't want to place your door because again, they are able to mind it with a T-Bo situation on their hands. They become afraid. But look, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, uh, short stack got a head injury, then go ahead and place your door. See how it goes. Y'all are going to, you're probably going to lose no matter what happens.
Starting point is 00:37:41 Go ahead and see how it goes. But I can't, I can't handle this. I just can't handle this idea that somebody did something to him or is consistently doing something to him. You have to show me a lot more to show me that. Yeah. All right. Let's move to college football.
Starting point is 00:37:58 Alabama lost to Oklahoma 23, 21, their second loss of the year. Bomani is Kail and DeBore coaching for his job in the Iron Bowl. Hold on. Let's be clear. Yes. All right. Now, this is what I mean by that. Is his job in danger?
Starting point is 00:38:19 No. It's not in danger because Auburn is bad. Very bad. That is why. Another place is a substitute teacher. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the other part. They don't have a coach either.
Starting point is 00:38:32 But that is why if they lose this game, yes, there are giant problems. This would be like losing to the Citadel. This would be bad news for them. I read a call. What's my man's name that works for the Alabama papers? Casa Grande. Yes.
Starting point is 00:38:49 I just, I didn't read the article. But Casa Grande's headline about the loss was that this is the dumbest Alabama loss in years or something like that. And when I saw that, I was like, oh, yeah, this is Bamma. This is what it is. You lost a close game to a very good team. Shout out to you, Brent Venables, because we were ready to run you off of this job and say that you didn't have what it took to get it done. And the truth is. He may be the best hire of that group.
Starting point is 00:39:16 He is. They were already right up Brian Kelly. Yeah. Lincoln Riley is about a dumb or two lost way from being run out of USC. And, you know, like he's got Oklahoma humming. Oh, no, Lincoln Riley's a dead man walking. Yes. Because he don't know how to talk to people.
Starting point is 00:39:33 Like, he's already doing bad press conferences, right? He's every time somebody's rolling their eyes every time. And he's out here doing Lane Kiffin's stuff where they're dressing up the backup quarterback in a putter uniform so they can run fakes and put it on film. Unsurious. Right. which Lane Kiffin did, and we all said he was unsurious. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:51 We roundly, it wasn't long after that that Lane got fired on the tarmac. I think it was a different season, but it was who would, I did a video about that and my question was who would do such a thing. And the only answer was Lane Kiffin. And now Lincoln Riley is the guy who does these days. But Venables, hey man, you know what Oklahoma looks like?
Starting point is 00:40:08 They could consistently be a 10-win team in the SEC. And I think that that is dead in line with what should have been expected when they joined this conference. conference. Again, it was one thing to be in the Big 8 slash Big 12 where you have no actual built-in advantages, but your Oklahoma and your level of want to could carry you through to what you needed to do. It's different where you sit on the second worst recruiting territory in the entire conference. Like, you tell me if I'm wrong, I think Arkansas is the only school that really, well, Arkansas, Missouri, are the only schools sitting on worst territory?
Starting point is 00:40:47 Yes, I agree. And you just beat Alabama in back-to-back seasons. Now, I'll tell you this, you ain't going to losing nobody three times in a row, Caleb, DeBoard. Like, if y'all got, if y'all got home, if you make it through this year, you're going to home in this schedule.
Starting point is 00:41:01 Yeah, yeah, no, no, no. What you're not about to be, what you're not about to do is have a bunch of guys who leave school having never beat blank. Yeah. I don't care who the blank is. That's not going to. That doesn't work in Tuscaloosa.
Starting point is 00:41:12 No. All right, sticking in the SEC, uh, Texas head and employees had to remove a Texas state trooper from his game assignment following incident where he made physical contact with two South Carolina players during and tunnel during the game. Bo, you said you had an interesting observation about this. First of all, I would have sent a shout out to my guy Lawrence.
Starting point is 00:41:33 Lawrence who sent me a text, you know, Saturday. Sometimes I take Saturdays off from college football because, you know, daddy got to have a life too, you feel me? So anyway, I'm not watching. I get a text from my man, Lawrence, it was like, that's the Texas A&M we all know. And I look at the score, and the score is 30 to three in the third quarter. And I'm like, hell yeah, right?
Starting point is 00:41:57 Something told me, don't say nothing. Don't say nothing, right? But in my head, I was thinking that it's too late for A&M to be an eight-win team this year, so they just going to need something to happen to make them feel like an eight-win team, right? in memente is you know get you up and saba and they came back and won that game so thanks for nothing lawrence like really i can't possibly thank you less than anyway in the midst of this game tennessee had a player i think his name is nick harbour does that sound right right ryan i know yeah too it is yeah nick harbore okay so nick harbara catches the touchdown i think
Starting point is 00:42:40 this is to make it 23 to three or something like that but anyway he gets touchdown and he runs into the tunnel and the reason he runs into the tunnel is because he's got to tweak hamstring. And so his partner's run behind him to walk with him. And so they start walking back. And as he's walking back inexplicably, I think it was a cop, but you can never tell with Texas A&M because they got a pretend, they got a pretend army. So it would not surprise me if Texas A&M had a police club. You know what I mean? Just a bunch of kids, maybe not even kids. They might be grown people like the band who just dress up like police officers and walk around with badges on and they got a mascot dog that they walk around. Totally on the board with those
Starting point is 00:43:21 weirdos. Anything is possible in college station. Anything is possible, except for like a Democrat. But anyway, so the alleged policeman is walking up the tunnel. The South Carolina players are walking back. And I don't know if the policeman was just mad because them Aggies was losing, but they did one of those like shoulder bumps, right, where you walk past each other and you bump into each other with your shoulders. And the guy that's playing a football team and has a tweaked hamstring and has on a shoulder pad, he don't even really notice that this happens. The cop, however, like turns around and gives them like a, it was like a two-air shove, right? And so this happens. Everybody sees it. Some account associated with those weirdos says that the, you know, I think
Starting point is 00:44:08 is the actual police force, said that that officer will no longer have game day duties, right? He would be relieved from his game day duties. People on the internet was hot. Ryan Clark had to go in the confessional room and crank out a video about the whole thing. Chipper Jones, of all people, got, he called that police man, boy, and that man is white.
Starting point is 00:44:33 You ain't see that? I did not see Chipper Jones. Oh, man. Look that up right fast, because I don't have the Twitter logged on to this computer. And he says something about, like, He really, really, really brought the hammer to this police officer about this. I saw, yeah, go ahead read that.
Starting point is 00:44:53 This idiot needs to be unemployed tomorrow. Clown. This ain't a high school football game. Dot, dot, dot, boy. Yes, yes. I have, I got to be honest, if a Chipper Jones was calling somebody, boy, I did not. Right. Right.
Starting point is 00:45:12 I was terrified at first. assumed Chipper Jones had a, what I'd like to call a Phil Nicholson timeline? Yes, yes. I mean, he might. That's the thing about it. This was a bipartisan issue. Everybody being so mad at this police officer for bumping into this guy and my only question is, where is this fucking energy when they're killing us? Like, we show people videos of police shooting people in cold blood. And they're like, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Starting point is 00:45:44 appeared for his life. You never know. I have seen every excuse in the world for the police actually shooting us and nobody coming and standing beside us, but a wide receiver from South Carolina gets bumped into when everybody wants to write a letter to the manager. Can somebody explain to me how this happened? You're saying this is the one time that will actually want to defund the police is when they get a football player? I don't get this. Like this is, this is mind blowing to me. Like where we were 10, 12 years ago with everything, They don't got so bad. We stopped talking to y'all about the police killing us
Starting point is 00:46:17 because it became clear that y'all didn't want to hear it no more. So what we need now, if we could get some police reform, is police bumping into people? Is that what we need? Right? Do I need to go into the subway and just have a police man bump into my shoulder? And then all of a sudden, Zoran could be like, I told y'all we need to defund them.
Starting point is 00:46:35 You was right, Zoran. And then we made some changes? Is that what it takes? I just have no idea how this became the thing that made everybody not like the... I saw people mad about this who ain't say nothing about George Floyd. And by the way, that one was pretty bipartisan too. This, however, was unanimous.
Starting point is 00:46:56 And it is your friendly reminder. People don't actually like the police. Unless they are doing something for you in that moment. People don't really like the police. They just... I don't even want to finish that sentence because it'll be so sad. All right, voicemail lines open, got a couple good ones. I think you'll like this first one.
Starting point is 00:47:28 Hey, Bumani. Just wanted to ask this quick, well, two questions, actually. I'll make it pretty quick and easy here. First, after watching the Atlanta Falcons, once again, give up yet another, another crushing defeat at home. My question was not necessarily when you realized, or was it just a collage of events that happened that finally made you get out that narcotic? Or was there one specific event that you was just like, look, I can't do this anymore. That's enough. And my second question was, have you ever considered, like, you know how for the people that be on the, you know, these, these, you know, these.
Starting point is 00:48:19 these websites where you gamble, right? And there's this hope in why, have you ever considered opening up a line for Atlanta Falcons fans to get off that narcotic? You know, to be able to talk to somebody that, you know, that's been through the struggles and the ills and all that jazz of being a devoted falcons fan and deciding that this should be enough? Have you ever considered that and would, is that something that you have thought about putting together? I don't know why I'm taking shot of the Atlanta Falcons fans. I'm a Bears fan, which is kind of funny. But anyway, has that been something that you ever thought about? Thanks.
Starting point is 00:48:56 And always been a fan of the show. Was there a single event? The quarterback went to jail for fighting dogs. They replaced them with Joey Harrington. Fighting dogs. Was there an event? fighting dogs. And you're like, would you start up a helpline for the Atlanta Falcons fans?
Starting point is 00:49:32 Son, I don't hang out with losers. Like at this point, that's a choice. Call 877 L-O-O-S-E-R. Yeah, yeah, like you keep doing that right there. That's a choice. You know, I can't, I can't help you. You ain't looking for help. You want to feel like a, you just want to lose.
Starting point is 00:49:52 You're going to do that. without me. All right, here's our next one. Hey, Bo. It's E from the DMV. It's got a music question for you. So we've heard you say KRS is the best rapper. Outcast is the best group and I believe your favorite group.
Starting point is 00:50:09 And BOV is the best single. So what do you think the best rap album ever is? And who is your favorite solo rapper and your favorite album ever? Thanks, man. Appreciate it. God damn, did he say and an album cover two? I think it was single and album.
Starting point is 00:50:29 Okay. All right, so it's a single, solo MC. Solo N, Z, and then album. Okay. So the greatest album is the one I don't have a great answer for. That's harder than anything else for me. Yeah, where do you even start?
Starting point is 00:50:45 I mean, if you go, like I can give you a handful, like we're kind of ballparking in it. So public enemy, it takes the nation of millions to hold us back. Like, that's on the list. The chronic. That's on the list.
Starting point is 00:51:02 I actually don't put, like, Illmatic, ready to die that run. That's not on my greatest of all time, like, perhaps list. Scarface the Fix, that for me is on the list. It has potential. Outcast Equimini, it's on the list, right? It can be there.
Starting point is 00:51:19 There's so many, like we're working on a series right now on the great year in rap, 1996. It's so many albums to go through just off of that list to try to come up with number, to just come up with one is like borderline impossible. It's so hard to do. Now, let's just say he did say album cover. I don't know if it's the greatest, but I know the most unforgettable one. That's old dirty bastard returned to the 36 chambers with the picture of him on the food stamp card.
Starting point is 00:51:50 It's tough to beat that one. There's also shout out to Mercedes. I don't know if it's the greatest, but we'll always remember it, even if we never listened to that record. And so for those of you who don't know, I'm going to tell the story for you youngsters, okay? So when No Limit was popping, the thing about No Limit was they advertised crazy heavy. And so there would always be a bunch of ads in the source and in the album covers of No Limit, they would always have album covers of like albums that was coming soon. But it was clear that those albums had not been conceptualized.
Starting point is 00:52:25 They just had a cover and a title. That's all they had come up with. And so they had this woman named Mercedes. And Mercedes had an album cover standing in front of a Mercedes with some very, very short shorts, and she was bent over, and the title was rear end. and they teased that Mercedes album for years and years and years. Now, let's see. Did that album ever, it actually did come out.
Starting point is 00:52:59 But I feel like they kept promoting it well after it actually came out. Some movies you got to sell off the poster, you know? That's all it was. That was the whole thing. So that is, that's the most memorable album cover. of all time. That I will tell you, and I am looking at the titles of these songs, and it is very clear what time it was for Mercedes Rear-in. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:28 Yeah. Okay, my bad. All right, here's our last one. Hey, what's going on, Bomani? This is Matt from OKC. So I wanted to leave a message about the time you try to test your dad. This is back in 1998. I was 16 years old
Starting point is 00:53:46 and my dad had retired from the military so you know he's got some gray hairs and stuff starting to live a little older I'm taller than him at this point and I'm like six foot he's about 510 but he's 200 and I'm 130
Starting point is 00:54:03 so a little weight discrepancy anyhow we had gotten to an argument about something or other and I was selling froggy I was like, man, this is my time So after he retired from the military
Starting point is 00:54:21 He became a juvenile detention officer So he knew a bunch of holds and wrist locks And all this stuff Which has 16 I didn't really account for Before I made this decision But anyhow We didn't gotten to arguing about something
Starting point is 00:54:39 So I went to push him him, right? And I didn't even complete the push. By the time I had made contact with his chest, the next thing I knew, I was facing the other direction. And my feet were off the ground. Now, remember, he's 5'10, and I'm 6 foot. Now, we're about the same age. I'm 44.
Starting point is 00:55:07 So what had happened, and I didn't even realize that he had turned me around and put me, like, in a rear naked choke. Back then, this was before UFC. So there was no protocol. I wouldn't do. I didn't know to fight the hands. I didn't even know what a tap was. So I'm just there
Starting point is 00:55:26 and can't do nothing about it. So I start to see stars, and I go out. The next thing I remember is being on the floor curled up like fried shrimp, like trying to figure
Starting point is 00:55:43 out what happened. And I look up and my dad standing over top of me. Now, keep in mind, he's black and I'm mixed. And he said to me, if you ever try that light skin
Starting point is 00:56:01 shit again, you won't wake up. Yeah, man, so that's the time I try to check my dad. Special child to your mom here in OKC. She sounds like a real one. Glad that the city was able to honor her. All right, man. Love the show. Peace.
Starting point is 00:56:20 That man said, there wasn't even UFC. There was no protocol on what to do. That's a fair point. You had to learn the hard way what the protocol was. Oh, my God. Your pops even in it into it with a dollar for that self-hate. You try to have light-skinned shit with me. Like, oh, man. Can you imagine getting out of the military and deciding I'm going to go work at a juvenile
Starting point is 00:56:49 Detention Center. Hey man, that is a, like, I have nothing to fear. That, yeah, that is. So I think, so this is the thing about a juvenile detention center. I think about it as a place to work. I do kind of feel like as a grown-up, what do you have to fear? You know what I'm saying? Like, these are a bunch of kids.
Starting point is 00:57:08 I don't care how bad you think you are. But that is a back talk university, though. Yeah. That is all that is. What are these kids going to do? Talk back to me. Right? Yeah, you can push your mama around.
