00:00we will get to this dirty head hunting team how was your thanksgiving it was lovely first yeah
00:05family over it was lovely everything was great yeah it was great everything was smooth over eight
00:11you know gained a few pounds watch some football watch the little foosball yeah yeah it's great
00:17had family for a week wow tuesday to tuesday yeah it's lovely that's great great well a lot of people
00:23that's a lot of people you um you were there monday night i believe i was i think i saw you
00:28yes i was monday night um you uh buy into it all this team playing dirty no no who are talking who
00:39is the one speaking about this dirty play giants fans giants fans have they been in their subways
00:44you want to talk about dirty true we've talked about new york you want to talk about dirty play
00:49first of all the sideline quarterback play the guy's in bounds right you go hit them like this is
00:56football i feel like we're being kind of just as and as fans in general because we're not seeing
01:03big hits anymore like that when we see one that's not even a crazy hit right wow look at that hit
01:10that's that's crazy they're on every it's on every reel it's on instagram it's everywhere 10 20 years
01:15ago those were just like oh yeah that guy's ko'd give him some smelling salts yeah yeah he'll be fine
01:20he'll be back and that's how that is yeah it's very similar it is i mean tom when he got his helmet
01:25ripped like buffalo off buffalo like it's a bigger hit the people that are complaining about it are
01:31like he left his feet he launched himself like yeah i mean isn't that it's football yeah i actually i
01:38thought it was really fun those are plays where as the defender you hit them and you just it feels
01:45really good you just pop up you don't really feel it yeah just like a big hit and i'm sure dart didn't
01:50really feel it he gets hit he pops right up yeah i also think it was the reaction from the players
01:54on the field that led to all of these fans like sensitive and like oh my how dare you hit my
01:59quarterback quarterbacks used to get destroyed if we remember the old school nfl highlights you know
02:06ask some of these old timers ask some of these old timers like hey did you guys get hit yeah they
02:10used to body slam us yeah well i mean literally they used to suplex you i get those text messages
02:18too from giants fans or or who or patriots haters who suggest that if that had happened to drake may
02:26then we would be losing our minds no we'd be like what are you doing drake may get your ass out of
02:32bounds i mean he did get hit like that though recently in the chin remember yes he got hit directly
02:38in the head in the chargers game last year directly in the chin and his whole head shifted but we're
02:44like whoa okay we would say uh drake get out of bounds that's what drape was saying yeah you're not
02:49like you're not a running back and where you're used to because a running back would have leaned
02:55forward he would have dipped his shoulder and it wouldn't have been as bad or running high you can't
03:00run like that as a tight end you know how to kind of like give it as well as you could take he was
03:04just like strolling down the sidelines and that was a and i think you you you made a great point
03:09rob we don't see hits like that no more so people are like oh my god wow he got lit he got jacked up
03:16we used to see that every game yeah guys getting baptized like that and especially kickoff we talk
03:22about the gunner play yeah he gets also clean hit your listen when you're running down l the things
03:29have to happen in a certain order for that to even take place if the runner never gets touched
03:36he doesn't get hit in the head like that he got hit first and then rotated and then is and as a guy
03:42covering a kick ellis isn't thinking i'm gonna knock this guy out his eyes are closed he went to go
03:47hit through somebody as someone's trying to block him and he happened to go through the guy gunner gets
03:53hit rotates and gets knocked out look at a close-up of him you take the hit his they're both eyes are
04:00closed they're like oh boy contact bang one sleeping one celebrating that's football it happens what about
04:07the harold landry one which one was that where he like flew over jackson yeah like jackson dodd was in
04:12the pocket he almost got sacked and then he didn't hit him like that hard it just was people were
04:17complaining about the way in which he went into it everyone complains about everything these days
04:21that's because it was a late slide and i i i want to ask you because you you you obviously play
04:26defense you understand i i think it should be a penalty and i'm an offensive guy slide late if you
04:32slide late you should give yourself up with a three four yard halo around you so a defender knows like
04:40all right and if you don't you become fair game if you wait till a yard or two and you slide and you
04:46get your head taken off that's on you that's the majority of the guys that get ko'd when they're
04:51sliding is the defenders coming in to make contact and then they decide oh i don't want this let me
04:57slide and then they get the ricochet effect hit in the head and then their head hits off the turf that's
05:01when they're snoozing so i i agree with you i think that there should be something that if you don't get
05:06down within a certain amount within a defender's area then you're hey be a running back right put your
05:15big boy pants on take a hit so i don't think there's no dirty aspect of any of these plays
05:21that's just football and we just so happen to be soft right is there the is there lingering we were
05:26talking about this earlier because curtis brought up uh the odds when it comes to the super bowl and
05:33patriots are uh curtis what'd you where you were looking they were six seven yeah there are five
05:39teams ahead of them including the bills and the seahawks and the packers and the packers is that
05:44lingering hate for the i definitely feel that way for the for the for the dynasty i think people are
05:49maybe reluctant to accept the fact that they're going to have to witness another resurgence of a
05:58great new england football team greatest football dynasty ever yeah 100 come on there's no other
06:05thing that's that close you had 20 something years of greatness i was here for eight years
06:10now every single year i'd be like hey i got a hat and a t-shirt oh dad you want this hat doesn't fit
06:15me right like yeah sure i guess i'll take the division hat oh what about this t-shirt oh yeah we
06:20run the we run the division yeah just throw that in the back maybe we'll donate it this year
06:25so it was it was a great run we had you know obviously five years of searching and not so
06:32great and they look they look awesome so i hope they continue to build and and get better and the
06:38quarterback is making unbelievable throws i was asking my uh brother-in-law i was like hey do you
06:44think drake may is the mvp and he's like i don't know i think it'll be a non-quarterback this year
06:52really that's what he said who's he going with jonathan taylor no he's saying uh miles garrett if
06:57he breaks the sack record oh no who's the when did a defensive player ever win an mvp that's what i
07:04said i want to say it was it ray lewis no red reed maybe who who's the last look it up you got the
07:12computer in front of you yeah last night i have a question if you had to pick a team from now until
07:19forever starting today what teams would you take ahead of the patriot situation right now yes nobody
07:25right nobody you got the a 23 year old starting similar to a similar length in career as tom
07:32i'm gonna be like 60 years old when he retired i was thinking the same thing yesterday like what
07:38i might not be alive i might not live through this time that's crazy i lived in the first one but i might
07:43not make it through this like wow if they go in like a good run rabel's gonna be 70 like like old
07:50man bill was 70 yeah and then i'll be like 61 jeez no hair but that you know you think though like
07:59that's what coaches now coaches you know coaching into their 70s and and and you look at it the last
08:05two defensive players to do it obviously the greatest the only two the only two greatest football
08:10player defensively ever to play lawrence tail and alan page used to play uh d-line for the vikings
08:16but i also i also think like you know miles garrett how many sacks do you have right now uh 19 i want
08:22to say 19 was 22 and a half yeah the strahan record yeah and strahan didn't get it you know he also he
08:28was uh was he not gifted one by brett farve yeah the last one he did he did yeah he did take a dive
08:34for those giants fans bitch about lawrence taylor being dirty just asking lp had a high motive the
08:40game used to be far more dirty and you knew the dirty players they used to like tape their hands
08:46with quarters yeah and slap people you're going way back yeah like you're going to uh yeah mike
08:53dick uh mean joe green and all them yeah yeah it was too cheap to use quarters you nickels you know
08:58the guys you play yeah you played in the quarters the league with endomic and sue and similar to i
09:05think he was in the league when i played but those guys were guys like oh this guy's a dirty player
09:09like who were dirty guys that you played against uh dirty guys that we played against um
09:15i i wouldn't i thought bernard pollard was a little dirty he's the one that came in on tom
09:21uh i think brandon merriweather was on the patriots he would he had a few penalties i think james
09:31harrison was pretty dirty how about he would knock you out the line back at that brandon spikes oh
09:37was he just physical or was he dirty spikes was physical but he would also you know he would talk
09:44to you as you were sleeping so i knocked you out and say wow he's sleeping matt light had
09:51an issue with channing crowder if i remember oh yeah they had you know it's funny i did a little
09:56thing for emacs before the game and they had this trivia and i was completely wrong but i i was just
10:03like gonna make up they asked us to just make up a trivia question and i was like who was the last
10:08patriot to get ejected for fighting for the patriots it was definitely not matt light like i think there
10:14were helmets that were yeah yeah yeah there was uppercuts going down yeah usually you know like
10:20generally when you think of dirty players generally they're a lot of offensive linemen because they
10:25like to give you a little bit of that extra juice um i did i definitely didn't like the bad linemen
10:30yeah it was his last name where you played for the titans there was something wrong with him
10:35oh what about um there was something wrong did you play against you might have played with him in
10:40miami um incognito no i played against him okay did you play against i don't think he was dirty but
10:45okay maybe i wouldn't categorize him as dirty he was just what makes the jump in your mind
10:52from just physical stuff okay so like the grabbing yeah like during the the in between the whistle it's
10:59fine it's football you're you're getting fit you're getting after you're getting hit you're but
11:03it's after the play oh uh you know gio gio camini he was an offensive lineman for the jets he was with
11:11the seahawks his eye his eyebrows connected that's how i know oh okay in a unibrow yeah and his helmet
11:17was always super high oh and i would just look at his eyebrows like dude yeah this kid's dirty yeah no
11:23but he tried to like he would try to like take your knees out after the play the worst weather back
11:28because was the guys on defense when it was an interception like oh they'd be trying to knock
11:33you out they would try to like literally peel back on you you know it in the other place listen
11:37i hated interceptions anyway because i couldn't tackle and now you're trying to peel back and knock
11:42my you know my so that's what the game is like the game used to be a lot more violent when it came to
11:48getting big hits and blind side hits i mean i was on special teams i'd be running and all of a sudden
11:54i'd be on the ground i'd be like wow who got me on that one and i'd look around and it'd be some
11:59little guy and he'd be laughing at me oh yeah you got me man but it doesn't those don't hurt
12:04maybe the first time i got to cleated i was in high school i was playing thornton it was a saturday
12:08morning game i was running down on punt team i was going for the ball all of a sudden i just got
12:11on their sideline everyone was hooting and hollering i got up so which way do you run which way do you
12:17go and i broke my thumb oh same play but it was all right i put a cast on um what did you when it
12:23comes to trash talk there was a story earlier in the week with the titans running back who was
12:30complaining because the jaguars kicker said i'm gonna kill you
12:36man if that is gonna bother you you got some big problems i actually if somebody was that should be
12:46on a that should be on like your scouting report like kicker insulted running back gets emotional
12:53about it yes because then you could really get after him like hey did kicker got you going bro
12:57what's wrong with you man you're not tough enough you better get out of here hey nfl not for long
13:023.5 years you're out of here buddy go find a new job is that's why lean comb was like oh yeah people
13:08say i'm gonna kill you all the time in football they were asking speaking of kickers have we ever
13:13seen so is this a reflection of how bad football is becoming over like the last 10 years when a kicker
13:21kicker kicks the turf i've never seen a professional kicker he said it was the second time it's happened
13:26to him really yeah he said that glasses well no he and he said what i thought when watching it was
13:33that the he the ball started tilting and he thought that they were trying to adjust so he pulled up on
13:39it you just kicked the ball that's him saying like hey if i hit this ball it might down my
13:44percentage last time i saw it curtis uh very recent uh reference here was uh charlie brown and lucy
13:50right i mean she used to do that to poor charlie brown all the time if i'm the holder i'm going and
13:56just smacking him right in the face i'm saying dude you just hung me out to dry the second you don't
14:00kick the ball what happens to me oh yeah you know what i'm gonna do next time i'm gonna just flip the
14:05ball to you and see how you handle that situation getting decleted so you know the nfl randomly will
14:11test a guy after a big game for peds i would like the nfl to go through that kicker's phone his
14:16associates and see if he had money on the patriots because what i mean they're there i don't care if
14:21he said it happened before he kicked six inches behind where the ball was yeah no like and if you do
14:29that for a living right well that's why the falcons cut it remember he was here when we played
14:33atlanta and he missed a couple uh field goals there's so many kickers that need jobs i'm sorry
14:38but you'd have to leave yeah all right rob ninkovich is here we're gonna take a quick break but a lot
14:44to talk about when it comes to this patriots team let's do it you brought up hats and t-shirts hats
14:49and t-shirts next week they got one of those coming up yeah
