[00:01:19]

This is the third show. This still got Sparkasse. We will talk about football in a second, because there was a lot of fun stuff yesterday. I mean, you're sitting there watching you're watching the Cowboys do that to the Falcons. The Falcons have not been the same since being up twenty eight to three in the Super Bowl. And they are in this terrible place where now just people think they're losers. And it's not. It's not. And no matter whether you change the players or anything else, it doesn't matter now.

[00:01:55]

And people are not going to trust you because they think you're losers and you can shake that. Clemson has. I mean, Clemson used to be a verb and now Clemson is, you know, up forty nine. Nothing over Citadel, you know, in the middle of the second quarter. And they go before that, they go on a road conference game and they're just playing like family members, you know, in the second in the second quarter because they're beating people so badly.

[00:02:19]

So you can change that. But before we get to that, we can't decide whether what we're about to play for you is good trash talk or bad trash talk. So Colby Covington is a bit of a contrivance. He's a note off in terms of doing some of this stuff well or authentically. I don't buy the sincerity of what he's doing, but he's figured out something that I'm surprised more guys haven't figured out, like Conor McGregor. Floyd Mayweather figured it out a long time ago, Chilson, and figured it out that you could just be a jackass and say publicly a bunch of nonsense to get people agitated and it will help your bank account.

[00:03:00]

It'll make you a better fighter than you actually are in terms of getting people to pay to see if your face will get broken.

[00:03:08]

I figured it out a while ago, and I'm surprised that more guys in the UFC aren't willing to do it in a team sport where you're not disrespecting anybody and you've got to back up your words. So Ousman already has beaten Colby Covington and injured him, like just smashed his face as a guy who doesn't isn't known for having much of a punch. But Colby Covington, after beating a just totally washed wordly who doesn't want to throw his hands under any circumstances, he is emboldened now to talk trash.

[00:03:40]

So here's the back and forth and we give you some context here. Both of these guys, Ousman, too, is our Magga guys, and so Ousman was somebody who in the middle of this, you will hear him say that the only reason the president is calling you is because I couldn't make the last rally. And they go back and forth and there's some racism in here which fighting is very good at trafficking in and has been for a long time.

[00:04:07]

I don't know how this stuff flies in twenty twenty, but you know, Covington on Brand Covington goes low, common denominator and just goes racism in the middle of this. But here's the back and forth. You tell me whether this is good trash talk or bad trash talk.

[00:04:24]

You saw I look at it. It's just so. So yeah. You know if you see would you get us from the hood, you get a coffee, you get a call from frickin you little you little tribe, they give you some smoke signals for you. You're already making news that, hey, guess what, your username no cares about you. No one cares about you. You're pathetic. You care about me. No. Yeah. Because you got the worst decision in the history of the sport to me.

[00:04:51]

Oh you know this. You know, you didn't. I stood right up there across your party. Fake newsman voice woke you right up and protested right away. That was a bitch. Fake fake to see you next time. Wait till I see you next time. My fake newsman. You're dead. You're dead. I'm got unfinished business. Really better show up for you. You said that last time. I would have. Yeah. You wait till this time.

[00:05:13]

Yeah. Face it. Brian will. You broke your spirit. That's why you're running for me. That's why you hide. You ain't nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide. Now wait till I see you next time you finish, Tarawallie, like I did. You're dead. You're on borrowed time right now. What about some of the people about me? Look at me. You here. You look at your hair. Look at the ugliest doing here.

[00:05:35]

The UFC that hairless your face with steroids stopped. You know, the only thing you broke is your will. You broke your will. You ain't. Oh, I bet you do. What are you doing, FootStone? The boring is champ in the history of this company. Your favorite. Anything that's important when you broke your own. Why are you running. Why are you running. Come see me in octagon then see me. See what happens next time.

[00:05:58]

Your best night. That was my worst night and I get your ass tell. You'll tell me right now. Tell me what happens when you're outside. You're going out cold. I guarantee it just like I walk with you. I know you lost all those brain cells. I know your dimensional right now in delusional. Wait till I see you next time. I think you better train hard. Keep doing that, Epel. Keep it up. I don't need nothing.

[00:06:15]

This is wrong. America, Steele. I got the president, the United States dragging energy. When I see when I see you, you're dead. You're dead. I guess what I was playing before I play anymore. I'm serious now. I'm serious. Oh, wait. Wait till I see you now. You're on borrowed time. OK, I'm all the time. All right.

[00:06:37]

All right. So there is the expression when the facts are on your side, pound the facts. When the facts are not on your side, pound the table. And Covington, you see the moment where Covington gets legitimately angry. It's not wrestling character nonsense anymore. And because Ousman keeps hitting him with the same set of facts. Very simple. I broke your face. I think when you've broken someone's face, though, that's the only thing you have to throw out.

[00:07:05]

We fought this one time and that one time you left the octagon with blood all over your face and I broke your face. And if you had your face broken, the only thing you can say is wait till next time. Yes, that is correct. So you see a variety, but you can hear him. I think it was win laughs at that point because he's pounding the facts. I broke I broke your face and coming and coming back when I broke your will, which doesn't really work when someone has broken your face.

[00:07:31]

That's not really how that one goes. So you will hear we're where Covington feels most boxed in. That was a bitch face fake. I see you next time. Wait till I see you next time. My fake newsman. You say you're dead. I'm to finish business. I feel like this is the discourse right now in America about everything that we talk about. I feel like it's fake news back and forth. And you're dead.

[00:08:00]

It's fake. Fake. I see you next time. Wait till I see you next time. My fake newsman, your dad, your dad loses this book like you got to calling in fake news man. That was fake. See you next time I see you next time. Money, fake news. This man. It's so bad.

[00:08:27]

So what did you guys what is the verdict here, Chris? I heard you guys arguing before the show. Where do we come down in terms of votes, whether that's good trash talk or bad trash talk?

[00:08:38]

I think that's great trash talk. I enjoyed every second of that. And who was disagreeing with you? Was it Billy or was it someone? Because I only caught portions of this conversation to be said, we we all admit that the race is part of the trash talk was terrible, right?

[00:08:53]

And the entire thing was terrible.

[00:08:55]

That was the worst I that we opened with racism and then it somehow got worse. It's unbelievable.

[00:09:08]

It's a new season of love and it's sport clips, haircuts, all of our stylists are clean certified and guys smart. So come in and get yourself back in the game with our legendary MVP experience. It's a man, Kaisha, with our hot steam towel, relaxing shampoo in a winning cut.

[00:09:29]

Check it online and walk out with confidence. Sport clips. It's good to be a guy. And, you know, like, oh, hey, it's your homey sorry, it's your home. I know you don't like it when I call myself your old man, so I have some favors to ask you. Could you get rid of a few chairs in the living room? My floorboards are tired.

[00:09:53]

Another easy thing.

[00:09:54]

We could save money if you bundled your home and car insurance with Geico. One more thing. I know you love lavender scented candles, but could we try to find vanilla? I think it would fit my vibe better.

[00:10:04]

Geico for bundling made easy. Go to Geico Dotcom today.

[00:10:09]

All right, so Nathan Peterman is more expensive than Cam Newton, and I want you to let that marinate. That entire league allowed Bill Belichick to get Cam Newton for nothing, and he accounted for 96 percent of the Patriots offense last night, passing and running. Here are some stats. Two guys from Falcons, Cowboys. OK, if you did not see the game, it is hard to imagine how it is that the Falcons lost that game. I think they were up 15 with seven minutes left or five minutes left.

[00:10:45]

Had Mike McCarthy doing bad math and somehow the Falcons still managed to lose that game. But their games are always exciting. Give the Falcons that I love.

[00:10:54]

I love that Mike McCarthy spent the whole offseason doing, telling us that he's doing advanced math. And then there is some basic math that eludes him. But from ESPN stats and info. The Falcons had thirty nine points with zero turnovers entering the day, teams were four hundred and forty and oh when scoring thirty nine points with zero turnovers since nineteen thirty three when team turnovers were first tracked, according to Elias. OK, so that game has literally never been lost before the Falcons lost it.

[00:11:33]

That's amazing.

[00:11:34]

We honestly could devote the entire show because there were so many things in that game from the unprecedented onside kick, the slow roller that nobody had the presence of mind to jump on because they've been hammered in practice. Hey, do not touch a ball before it goes ten yards. So they're not ejecting from their programming when they should because it's such a slow roll or just jump on it. It was amazing to watch. It was the greatest onside kick in the history of the NFL.

[00:12:01]

It took a right turn at the very end to give it a couple extra yards. It is also the first successful onside kick for Gregs airline since 2014.

[00:12:11]

You don't see successful onside kicks anymore. And this was one unlike one that we've ever seen because it looked like it should have died out after four yards and just kept rolling and rolling. A falcon could have just jumped on it. They didn't want to risk touching it, which would have made it a live ball. And then you have everybody pouncing on it. But the second that it went ten yards, Dallas jumped on it. And what you ever see this?

[00:12:35]

No replay. Everyone knew. Wow, they got you there. It was just taking advantage of of a team that had never seen that before, never prepared for before. You had Jerry Jones wearing a mask and you could tell how hard it was for him to breathe because it was going in and out. He was an incredible game and it played all the hits. And I cannot believe that the Falcons once led a Super Bowl with that core twenty to three.

[00:12:58]

It's amazing where you are comfortable with the social distancing stuff going on inside the Cowboys suite. I was concerned for Jerry. He had young kids hugging him. I mean, it was I was concerned. I'm worried about the old people here.

[00:13:11]

I'm doing that with everyone on television. Are you everyone? I'm during it during the Emmys last night. I'm everyone get away from each other. And Reese Witherspoon, Sparty, you were able to close together. This is from the Ringer. Under the current 16 game schedule, NFL teams reach a thousand games after sixty two and a half years. The Falcons as a franchise have played only eight hundred and fifty seven games in their entire history, including playoffs stretching back to nineteen sixty six with a ninety nine point nine percent chance of winning in the fourth quarter.

[00:13:44]

The Falcons loss is one of the most improbable results, with a one in a thousand chance of happening in NFL history. Dan Quinn is fourteen and twenty since two thousand and eighteen, since being up twenty eight to three and being the coach that everyone wanted. And this from the athletic. In two games, in two games, the Falcons have allowed nine hundred and fifty three yards and seventy eight point the Seahawks and Cowboys scored ten touchdowns against the Falcons, the Dallas tried to give the game away, lost three fumbles and had to ill-advised fake punt that set up Atlanta for twenty three of their thirty nine points.

[00:14:30]

So the Cowboys were awfully generous and won the game anyway. The Falcons played a perfect offensive game and somehow lost it. I wanted to ask you this question because there was so much football yesterday that I think people may have missed that a. Kyla Murray is coming for everybody. He's also he's making it look like Oklahoma in the pros, which is not like those spread offense is where the quarterback runs for 30 yards up the middle of your defense that that felt like Oklahoma.

[00:15:03]

And that usually doesn't translate from college to the pros. But the other thing is that Kingsbury knows it. And so he not only goes for it on fourth and short up 20 to nothing in his own territory.

[00:15:15]

Stuckert, he runs a reverse like that team is gaining confidence because they know that their quarterback is good. And you look at the guys in the league who play that style, Russell Wilson and Lamar Jackson, those teams are scary. I don't know how you defend them. You get them in third and seven and all of a sudden you feel like you've had you feel like relief and there is no relief in getting them in third and seven. And it doesn't matter at all against the Ravens because the Ravens will just keep going for it on fourth down.

[00:15:45]

And it seems like some well, it seems like Kingsbury specifically, Andy Reid, did this in his own territory, game one. But it feels like Kingsbury specifically knows that all the math in that sport is outdated and you should go for it on fourth and short, even if you're on your own 30 yard line. Sometimes if you have the kind of offense where they're going to try and beat you with field goals and they're not going to beat you with field goal, especially with that quarterback.

[00:16:11]

And you have to give Kingsbury credit because he said right when he was hired that that's the guy he would take. They had a quarterback. He still took that quarterback anyway, got rid of Josh Rosen. But it's amazing that a quarterback like Tyler Murray could take a guy who could not succeed at Texas Tech with Patrick Mahomes, was an offensive coordinator at USC, turned down that job and that was going to be head coach of the NFL for the next two or three in twenty five years, Texas Tech, and somehow got the Arizona job.

[00:16:38]

Kyle Murray is one of the best athletes in the world right now. He's not just a tremendous thrower of the football. And it's not that he's just fast, right? Him and Lamar Jackson had incredible vision at the position. He'll just stop on a dime, let a defender just run past him and he will take it another twenty five yards. He's got incredible vision for a quarterback.

[00:16:58]

It also helps when you have Bill O'Brien sitting out there. Just give in, given DeAndre Hopkins away. I mean, it's unbelievable.

[00:17:06]

And Deshaun Watson, a wide receiver to throw to. I am so excited because finally, guys, finally, some of these cavemen who run these NFL teams and have been so conservative for so long are finally realizing, hey, fourth and one, we want to keep the ball when our quarterback special. We don't want to give it back to you.

[00:17:29]

Fourth and one, we're going to reverse the damn reverse. I've never seen you look happy. Twenty nothing because I'm like, finally go home. Finally, somebody in that league three man Oklahoma's.

[00:17:47]

It's your apartment speaking and I need some favors when you're singing in the shower, just try going up the key.

[00:17:54]

You're trying to be an alto when really you're a soprano. Oh, and if you could bundle your renters and car insurance with Geico, it's easy to do online and we could save money.

[00:18:04]

And then when you read your murder mysteries at night, could you read out loud but skip the murder parts because I get scared.

[00:18:12]

Geico for bundling made easy. Go to Geico Dotcom today. Put it on the pole, Garmo is the only thing the Jets did well yesterday was injure 49ers because that's about the only thing that happened in that game. Stewart, as a Jets fan, not only got to watch on the very first play of the game, an 80 yard touchdown, a routine sweep, right? Yeah. Where a player, Mostert, made his way down the field before he was injured in the game faster than any human being that we've been tracking at 23 something miles per hour just pulled away from your secondary.

[00:18:49]

But it wasn't the worst play of the game. They also had a third and thirty one. San Francisco did that. They converted on a handoff for a 55 yard run.

[00:18:58]

I think that was Jaris McKinnon who hasn't played the twenty. Seventeen. Yeah, with the Jets did to Mosaad, though, they hurt him. I mean, he got hurt.

[00:19:06]

He's one of the guys who got hurt and then the guy that replaced him again converted on third and thirty one, a 55 yard run most hurt.

[00:19:14]

Christine Lisi.

[00:19:17]

What. I'm sorry that I interrupted you.

[00:19:21]

You were saying I. And finally, for decades, scientists didn't know what created a mysterious network of caves in South America. In 2010, researchers learned the caves were actually tunnels dug by giant sloths 8000 to 10000 years ago. Speaking of giant sloths, Ugandan's do back to you guys.

[00:19:47]

I'm getting lazy, Christine. I know when I see the joke coming, as I saw what you were up to, as soon as I heard the giant slaw, somebody sent us in just to please the gods. They put it on the podium. How do you know the name Ron Hassey? Because the hat the happiest I've seen some guys in a month was talking about Ron Hassey during the local hour when we were just talking about slow baseball players. But someone sent me this here.

[00:20:16]

It's Keith Hernandez in the dugout with terrible mustache. And Keith Hernandez, somebody is writing in haste. Forgot you'd love this. After Keith Hernandez recorded his 2010 hit, he celebrated in the dugout with a heater. There's a picture of him in uniform in the dugout, just smoking a cigarette. It was a different time. It's great.

[00:20:40]

I longed for that time. What do you mean it's a different time? I want to go back to that time.

[00:20:45]

I'm so happy Hollywood fix the problem because you do look cool smoking. I know this is a controversial take, but it does make people look cool. So they had to take it out of TV shows and movies because it looks so cool because I saw a cricket highlight. It was one of the coolest highlights I've ever seen where ball gets hit into the stands in this fan with a mullet and sunglasses, it's singing sitting there with his legs crossed, smoking catches the ball, one crosses his legs, doesn't take the heater out of his mouth, throws it back, heater still in the mouth, sits back down, cross his legs, put it on the line.

[00:21:20]

So cool. Put it on the podium, let Batard show. Would you like us to go the other way on this and just allow baseball players to smoke cigarettes in the field like I want my center field. You're like throwing out like it gets boring out there. I no, I want my center field. I don't want them to have to get on his horse and chase something in the alley. But before a routine fly out, I want him to throw the cigarette on the ground and snuff out the butt with his with his cleat before going and just lazily getting underneath a fly ball.

[00:21:54]

It looks cool. We're sorry for the controversial take.

[00:21:58]

Now, some people here say the gods are upset with me and we will see this play out. This will be a place that perhaps you will get to laugh at me.

[00:22:06]

Isn't that always the case, though? It is. Sports fans are unusual that way. Actually, before I go down this path, I just want to know what Gordon Hayward was going for with that look of slicked hair, parted hair with a terrible puffy mustache. He was going he was going for barbershop quartet, right?

[00:22:26]

Oh, it's a good look for for him. It's a good look. He makes it work. He's had a blow up this kid because you remember what that kid looked like in Butler. I mean, the dude has found himself in the NBA.

[00:22:37]

That mustache is like can it be described as a push broom mustache? It's fluffy. Just was. Yeah, but that's the look he's had for a while now. I know the mustache is new. He has been experimenting with the facial hair a little bit. He's certainly he started going to like a great barber midway through the Utah jazz experience. But now he's doing this look, Gardner twin over here, he made it. Look, you got the mustache, but in twenty twenty, you can't ride so low mustache, you need a little bit of a buffer on the face.

[00:23:07]

And that's what Gordon Hayward has. And he looks good.

[00:23:09]

Yermo put it on the pole at Batard show. Does Gardner Minshew look like Jacksonville? That Push-Pull mustache has not worked for very many people. But the thing that people are writing me today because I was making fun last week on highly questionable, I think highly questionable has been more critical in general of Josh Allen than any show on the network, at least in part because Dominique Foxworth is made insane with rage. When he thinks about Josh Allen in a playoff game.

[00:23:38]

Rolling out and throwing to his fullback across his body in double coverage is square shaped fullback. And I don't think Foxworth has ever forgiven him for that.

[00:23:48]

He will never I mean, no. Well, he had a great game yesterday. Not good. Great down throwing the ball down the field. OK, he was seven of eight for a couple of touchdowns and he made he's there to make the big plays right now. You can't really trust him to make totally accurate throws. He made them all yesterday, but you can't also trust him to make good decisions because he is it's not just that he's reckless.

[00:24:16]

He's got the confidence you want your quarterback to have when he's that athletic. He thinks he can make every play. And so he goes against conventional wisdom in some spots where if you remember. The playoff game last year in a spot where he couldn't take a sack, he ran about 30 yards in the wrong direction late in the game, and he also was trying laterals during the game while he's running around in your secondary that were falling on the ground and.

[00:24:40]

Bills Mafia wants very badly to believe that they have a quarterback for the next 10 years, and I believe he and he's he was great yesterday. Yeah, I believe that he's too reckless and inaccurate in today's NFL to be the quarterback who doesn't do Mbewe, even though that team is just a quarterback away from being good enough to be a Super Bowl contender.

[00:25:04]

Here's what he has, though, that he hasn't had in years past. He has a number one receiver and Stefon Diggs, he actually has weapons. He has John Brown, who they got last year. He has Cole Beasley as his third wide receiver, a guy they got from the Cowboys a couple of years ago like he actually has. So he doesn't have to run as much. He only ran four times for eighteen yards yesterday. He doesn't have to run as much.

[00:25:25]

And he actually has wide receivers to throw the ball to.

[00:25:28]

And we will see. Right. We will see if these first two games, if this is a real thing, because I believe the aging of Ben Roethlisberger, the place that it'll get problematic is because in today's NFL, you got these quarterbacks don't turn the ball over. The gunslinger is largely dead in that league. The coaches, I've told you how conservative they are on fourth down. They don't want gunslingers at that position. They don't want somebody who.

[00:25:52]

Look, man, look what happened to Jameis Winston. Jameis Winston was thirty and thirty in there. Like, no, you can't have your starting job anymore. You're looking through for five thousand yards. But Bills fans are feeling themselves because their quarterback was great yesterday. Indisputably great. No dispute for me. And so this is what I'm getting. He's winning games and making plays. They wanted him to put up stats, well, they could put 400 yards and four touchdowns in their pipe and smoke it and then somebody else comes back with Leadbitter.

[00:26:24]

Do you still feel like Josh Allen is no good? 700 plus passing yards. His first two game. If a fence quarterback did that, you would be slobbering all over him. Stick that up your tailpipe, Leadbeater.

[00:26:36]

Oh, and I just I want to tell Bonnano. But which of the pipes am I to choose? Am I doing both of them in my house? Am I sitting in my tailpipe while also putting it in my pipe and smoking it? So am I taking it out of my tailpipe and then smoking it?

[00:26:52]

Because that seems I think these separate things separate pipes from pipes to which is the worst of the pipes, which is I mean, just looking at the human anatomy where the tailpipe goes.

[00:27:04]

Yeah.

[00:27:06]

But putting something in your pipe and smoking it could kill you. I mean it would also make you look cool. Yeah.

[00:27:11]

Can someone help me with where that expression comes from, where the expression why am I putting something in my pipe and smoking it.

[00:27:19]

First of all, wouldn't you wouldn't you be stunned if you were just sitting there watching anything along that line in your book that's going to. I think I'm going to actually do that at some point. Do you think I would look cool taking Josh Allen stats, putting them in my pipe and smoking?

[00:27:38]

I couldn't look cool if it had been in my tailpipe first. We can not like we can say that that's a fact. But where is that expression from? Why are people when and why are people telling you to put something in your pipe and smoke on it?

[00:27:54]

Dan? So I ask you again, Stewart, because I think it is worth trying to figure out, as all of these evolutions in sports have been happening in front of our eyes in real time, where we realize, hey, wait a minute, the two point shot that everyone in basketball has been trying to get in the post is the least efficient of the shots. And, you know, you've seen just all of the math change in that sport.

[00:28:26]

You've seen the math change in baseball where the shifts I'm man, I miss a screaming line drive up the middle being a base hit. I'm not kidding you when I say it's disorienting to me. Put it on the pole, Garmo. Do you miss it when they change the camera angle from a from the pitcher to behind second base? Do you miss knowing that the screaming line drive past the pitcher's head is a base hit, but you can't anymore with the shift.

[00:28:57]

But when I say to you again. The Cardinals last yesterday afternoon, they're up 20 to nothing. They're on their own. Twenty seven yard line, 20 to nothing. I don't think there's been a time in the sport, not Belichick, not anybody. Belichick got criticized for going on 14 short when he was playing against Peyton Manning and he had Tom Brady and he was in Colts territory.

[00:29:23]

That was a bad call. Sorry. On his own twenty seven yard line, up 20 to nothing. Fourth, in short, every coach in the history of the sport punts there, yeah, there is no one who is, but the math is going to change on this with young guys will come less conservative guys will come. People who say you don't want bleep this, I've got time, Murray. I'm not going to be scared of you. And fourth and short, you need to be scared of me on fourth.

[00:29:52]

And sure, my quarterback can get a couple of yards. He's that good with his legs or with his arm. And if he doesn't, you'll have the ball. Yes, you'll have a deep in our territory, but you haven't scored all game at my defense is pretty good. And maybe you'll get a field goal. Maybe you will. Maybe you'll get a touchdown. I'll still be up twenty seven. Yeah. I mean that's how they're thinking. I've got Dwayne Haskins.

[00:30:11]

You have no idea who you're running back is and I don't even know your name on your team. Know the name of your team is very confusing. Riverboat run might do that but he'll wait till the fourth quarter. I've Kylah Murray, the greatest wide receiver of his generation, the greatest wide receiver of the next generation. I'm going to go for this.

[00:30:26]

I love OK, that riverboat Ron got his name, his nickname specifically because he started going for it on Fourth Down when his job was in jeopardy, when he had Cam Newton, like he was forced into the bravery because he was about to lose his job. And he's like, I'm going to go for it. And you know what you're going to say? I am. You're going to say I'm a riverboat gambler, except all I am is just slightly less of a coward than all of my peers who can't do simple math, just desperate.

[00:30:55]

Now I'm about to lose my job anyway. I'm a riverboat gambler. Why? Because I dare to go for it on fourth and one with Cam Newton on your forty yard line, what are you going to do about like what are we going to do? This is what I'm saying. Ten years from now we're going to look back and be like, how are we doing? Like we gave that guy a riverboat nickname and all he did was trade ahead of his time.

[00:31:21]

He deserved this. It's not. And he's a visionary. He's another one of these conservative woofs who doesn't demand the kind of the toughness from someone else.

[00:31:29]

Madden gamers twenty years ahead of the rest of the NFL, because that's such a Madden call forth and one on my own. Twenty out, whatever. I'll go for it. And now you're seeing it in the NFL. You're begging for someone to punt in that situation when you're playing Madden begging and in the NFL, you are two. You're so satisfied.

[00:31:46]

You tell me this play, you tell me, OK, if you're the defense or you're the fan of the defense on the field and you've held the Colts to fourth and short and they decide to not punt. Are you saying no, I feel like I've won. I feel like I've won this series in this game, or are you just pooping your pants?

[00:32:07]

Because really, when you have Patrick Mahomes, you don't want to give it to the kicker.

[00:32:13]

When you have Kyla Murray, you don't want to take the ball out of his head chiefs. But some of these teams, what the hell are you going to do? The Ravens the Ravens are doing a lot as they've been doing it for a couple of seasons. Why? Because they got Lamar Jackson. Why? Because we like our chances being able to get 10 yards with Lamar Jackson. If you give us four downs more than if you give us three.

[00:32:31]

And it seems really like a simple thing. And as recently as a few years ago, Jon Gruden was telling us, nope, I don't believe. What did those analytics people ever do in terms of playing football? I go with my gut, not the math.

[00:32:48]

And that day, that's how it dies. Those two guys you're watching it, you're watching it happen, man. Andy Reid did it. He did it in the first game of the season inside of his own forty yard line.
