00:00Part two, it was an unbelievable weekend of football.
00:04It is Can We Say That.
00:05David, go ahead.
00:15Can we say that Rico is wearing one of the more attractive hats he's worn in the last 90 days?
00:21I say yes.
00:22A green and white Tigers hat.
00:24That's a good reset.
00:26Unlike the other green and white crap you're wearing here.
00:28No, they do that.
00:30Did you look on the side?
00:31I can ignore that.
00:32It's still got the old English D on the front.
00:33Well, they did it for Michigan as well.
00:35They came out with the yellow and blue hat.
00:37That's nice.
00:38Do they come with spy glasses?
00:40Yes.
00:40Let's continue.
00:41But you got to throw your phone in the river.
00:43All right.
00:44Can we say that we saw, once again, another example of the ref show at the end of the Denver
00:50Rams game?
00:51100%.
00:51The NFL has a real problem.
00:53It is the amount of play stoppages, the amount of times the rules expert disagrees with the call on the
01:00field.
01:00But to your specific point, that's not pass interference.
01:03That's an interception.
01:05And it irreparably changes the game.
01:08So, yes.
01:10But it's like you're getting bludgeoned by this every week.
01:14The ref show is killing the enjoyment of the game.
01:18The NFL needs to be nuked.
01:20It's another day where this is a conversation.
01:23And aside from that BS call alone, how many – I wasn't counting.
01:29I lost track.
01:30How many flags were at the end of the game, especially in that last Denver drive particularly?
01:34As Mike said, NFL has an issue with it and will it ever get fixed?
01:37Probably not.
01:38Yeah, it's a major problem in that game.
01:40And then you had in the Dallas Ravens game where CeeDee Lamb is pulling Wiggins' arm,
01:44completely pulling his arm into the end zone, yet they call defensive pass interference.
01:49And everyone, their eyes, J.J. Watt, rules official, can all see it.
01:53See, I wonder – I mean, they have that eye in the sky.
01:55They can do that virtual whatever.
01:57Guys, it's okay to say, you know what, guys, that was a bad call.
02:01Pick up the flag and keep going.
02:03You're not embarrassing any referees.
02:06David, let's stick with that.
02:07Yeah, can we say that Dallas suffered a huge gut punch in Brazil with a loss to Lamar Jackson
02:14with seven seconds left because they could not punch the ball into the end zone?
02:19Yeah, well, neither could the Ravens earlier.
02:21It was a weird game.
02:22It was fun.
02:23It kind of was like a college football game.
02:25No defense was played at all.
02:27But that last play, it can never happen.
02:30There's no world you can give a 30-yard completion there and allow them to get the timeout off.
02:36It's just – that's a brutal loss for the Cowboys.
02:39The Ravens – I'm used to the Ravens blowing leads.
02:42That would have been the 12th double-digit blown fourth-quarter lead since 2020.
02:47The next closest is five.
02:49Apparently, Lamar learned his lesson because he was calling timeout as the ball was in the air.
02:53Yes.
02:54So I'm like, maybe – no, he actually was calling timeout, ball in the air.
02:57No, no time.
02:58If he catches it, timeout.
02:59Well, it was multiple mistakes here because Dallas had an opportunity to wind the clock down
03:04and either try to get the game-winning touchdown or the field goal to go to overtime.
03:09And then you kick the ball in the end zone, which then gives them the one play to then get
03:14in field goal range.
03:15So they messed up on all fronts in Dallas yesterday.
03:21Yeah, Dave and I, we've talked about it a lot over the past, what now, two hours behind the glass.
03:25It is mismanagement.
03:26That's why I can't even – it wasn't even a gut punch of the Cowboys.
03:29They shot themselves in their own foot.
03:32Can we say that the New York Giants quarterback room has become the most interesting quarterback room in the NFL
03:39now that number nine, JJ, has been traded there with Jameis?
03:44Okay, you got a really weird definition of interesting.
03:47I would say how about like morbid?
03:49But sure.
03:50Interesting is in the personalities in the room.
03:53Look, Jameis stinks and so does JJ.
03:55All right, maybe if you could do some weird science experiment
03:59where you tear apart both of their bodies and duct tape them back together,
04:03you could formulate a halfway decent quarterback.
04:06What do you want me to say?
04:07Well, JJ, Mike, could this possibly be one of those examples
04:11where you went to a new situation and revived your career?
04:14Well, it depends.
04:14Is he going to be an immature weirdo jackass or is he going to be an adult?
04:18Part of the reason he's not in Minnesota, go read the reporting.
04:21He's a brat.
04:23He's a weirdo.
04:24Yeah, good luck going into a locker room of 53 grown-ass men
04:28and acting like Jim Harbaugh's love child.
04:30It's not going to work.
04:32Now, if he comes to work first in, last out, shuts his mouth,
04:36stops being weird, stops being performative, and does the damn job, maybe.
04:41There were open times in Minnesota.
04:42Coaches told him, don't do this.
04:45He'd go right out, do it, come back smiling.
04:48Yeah, dude.
04:49I mean, look, I don't.
04:50I mean, maybe another Harbaugh can reel him in.
04:53Sure.
04:54Maybe he can also get the other team's plays.
04:56That seems to be directly tied to his quality of play.
04:59Based on personality, I'll agree with you, Rico.
05:02I still think the more interesting one is the team that he got traded from,
05:05the Minnesota Vikings.
05:06They are 3-0, and those three victories are coming off with two different
05:11quarterbacks.
05:12That's what I like to see.
05:14All I'll say on this one, Rico, is one thing that I do is forgetting those
05:18that is behind and reaching forward to those that are ahead,
05:21and then I'm going to stare into space.
05:23Jameis tried to pontificate like he was George Washington across the Potomac.
05:28He said, they asked the question, how confident are you in carrying this
05:32team forward?
05:33He says, one thing that I do is forgetting those that is behind and reaching
05:37forward to what's ahead, and then he stared in his face.
05:40He's weird.
05:41Once again, interesting quarterback room.
05:45Can we say, and I think we may be in unison for this one,
05:48that South Carolina defensive end, Dylan Stewart, should be kicked off the team
05:54and maybe have cost himself some NFL money next year?
05:59He punched a player, refused to come out of the game, wouldn't talk to coaches,
06:03and then when he did, he was talking back to the coaches.
06:06Yeah, not a good look.
06:07Shane Beamer's fired.
06:08South Carolina's going to tear the whole program down.
06:10Stewart, did he cost himself?
06:12No.
06:13I mean, Rico, the NFL doesn't care.
06:17Who are we kidding?
06:17He'll go in.
06:18He'll get coached up.
06:19He'll interview okay.
06:20They'll take one look at that monster at the combine and go, oh, boy,
06:23we got to take this guy.
06:24We can fix this kid.
06:25Short of killing somebody.
06:26I mean, even Leonard Little did that and got to play, so I don't know.
06:30I just don't think it'll cost them.
06:33I think it's disappointing because you're seeing the other side of the NIL thing.
06:39Dylan Stewart is arguably the highest paid defensive player in college football.
06:44No staffer is going to be able to tell him nothing.
06:47He's making 10X of some of these cats.
06:50But it was embarrassing for the young man.
06:52I mean, he was acting just – it was unhinged.
06:56It was stupid.
06:58I've said it before, and I'll say it again.
06:59If you're looking for morals in the sport of football, you are in the wrong department.
07:04He will be just fine.
07:07Well, here's the thing.
07:08Here's what I think he should do, and I can't remember which Bosa brother it was.
07:12It was injury, though.
07:13Dylan Stewart should take that and say, you know what?
07:15I'm going to prepare myself for the NFL draft.
07:18I'm just going to take a break.
07:19I think it was Nick.
07:20Yeah, Nick Bosa.
07:21I think it was Nick.
07:21You should do that.
07:22I'm going to prepare myself for the NFL draft.
07:25Off of this opportunity, because now he can then later on say, you know, I'm a better person for that.
07:31You know, whatever he has to say.
07:33But he needs to be gone.
07:35Actually, David, that may actually work.
07:39Yeah, I went to go see somebody.
07:40I saw a priest.
07:42You know, I started giving back to the community.
07:44I'm a different man.
07:46Can we say that Dan Lanning may have the line of the year?
07:51Oregon coach at the end of the game said, hey, if you want to win, come here.
07:55If you want to lose to Oregon and go to Chris Brown concerts, stay here in L.A.
08:00He's a hard O, man.
08:01You're on your own with it.
08:03I think Dan Lanning's a boner.
08:05So no one has done less with more.
08:08He's up there for the Ryan Day Award.
08:09I just he's got cutesy things.
08:12He did the same crap with Colorado.
08:13They're here for clicks and we're here for when he talks a big game and then he doesn't
08:17do a whole lot.
08:18So you can have it.
08:20I'm over to Dan Lanning thing.
08:22Ding, ding, ding, ding, Mike.
08:23And I like the Ryan Day Award that that's pretty clever.
08:26You know what I'm saying?
08:27No, I know exactly.
08:28Guys are handed everything.
08:29And it's just like, really?
08:31All right.
08:32Cute.
08:32Well, that's the thing.
08:33He has more.
08:35His backup quarterback makes more than most teams starting quarterback.
08:40Like, yeah, sweet, Dan.
08:42And Dan has more Socrates level quotes than he does titles.
08:47Correct.
08:47That says a lot right there.
08:49Yeah, I did enjoy the line, but it is fun to say that now.
08:54But then when January gets here and or December gets here and he wins a playoff game and he
08:59won't, this is going to come back to bite him.
09:01You're right.
09:01I had to make sure it wasn't.
09:02Hey, I'm like, no, he actually said that.
09:04Oh, OK.
09:06He did.
09:07Can we say that Michigan's offensive coordinator and coach does not have that much faith in
09:15Bryce Underwood for they could have put the game away third and five and they turned and
09:21handed the ball off.
09:23Oh, it would also help if they put 11 people on the field for the quarterback sneak or if
09:27Bryce would decide he wasn't going to try to dunk the basketball.
09:30Oh, wait, he's playing football.
09:32It's a sneak lean forward.
09:34You're six, three, two, 30.
09:35Yeah, dude, I still don't understand if you if you let him throw the ball 25 times against
09:39Iowa in that third and five moment, that's the seminal moment of the game.
09:44Yeah, I'd like to see some trust put in the young man.
09:47Roll them out and either you throw it or you run and pick up to five yards.
09:51The biggest problem, the offensive line is not nearly as good as it's been.
09:55And to this team plays like a collective jackass.
10:00The penalties, the stupidity, the nonsense.
10:03It's just not a well run operation right now.
10:06And Whittingham is very fortunate that they're not one in three.
10:11I mean, if we're if we're being super real about this.
10:15So clean it up, man.
10:19Yeah, I think Mike's the key word from what Mike just said is trust.
10:22There's still this weird disconnect on how Underwood is utilizing the offense right there.
10:27And it continues to show week by week.
10:30Yeah, they definitely have no trust in him.
10:32But it is disturbing, Mike, what you bring up, because in Utah, they were the least penalized
10:38team under Kyle Whittingham.
10:39So to see this, it's disturbing.
10:42It's disturbing.
10:43David, if you really think about it, it's not because the team still has that bravado that
10:47they have from their previous coach who looks like he encouraged them to go out there and
10:51just be jackasses.
10:52Because that's just and while he was searching for Instagram models at halftime, can we say
11:02that there is seriously something wrong with Drake May?
11:08Well, a they're down a couple receivers, including AJ Brown, be your coach spent the offseason
11:15getting his Sharon Moore doctorate.
11:17And I told you, I was worried they were not going to be a playoff team this year.
11:21It's all happening.
11:23It's almost like your coach knocking boots on a boat might take away from the offseason.
11:29And look, Drake May needs weapons.
11:31There are no weapons.
11:33Think fast.
11:33Name three Patriot wide receivers.
11:35They're down multiple guys, including AJ Brown, who they gave up a lot to get.
11:40Romeo.
11:41But when he's healthy.
11:43Look, bottom line, this is a very, very scary time.
11:48If you're a Patriot fan, this is this is the other side of making the Super Bowl.
11:52You don't make the playoffs.
11:53You crash and burn the next year.
11:56And look, their young quarterback is not protecting the football.
12:00Yeah, Drake May.
12:01I don't know what's going on.
12:02I don't know.
12:03Well, I forgot exactly what his quote was after the game.
12:06I believe it was something around along the lines of he said, I'm a mess or whatever.
12:09And I think, sure, the variable stuff might be, you know, a factor in his mind just being
12:15all over the place.
12:16But he just looks lost out there because when I was watching the game, I thought, oh, did
12:19the defender, you know, hit his hand?
12:21And that's when the ball came out.
12:22No, the ball just slipped out.
12:23And this was a guy that was an MVP conversations finished second in the race last year.
12:28Remind you, I may be wrong for this.
12:31And I'm not going to use a variable thing as an excuse for Drake May.
12:35OK, because at the end of last season, he didn't look the greatest either.
12:38They just happened to win.
12:40The defense was doing a lot for them.
12:41Right.
12:42They got lucky.
12:42But he didn't look good at the end of last year either.
12:45Yeah.
12:45So just saying.
12:47All right.
12:47One last one.
12:48Can we say that Texas, despite being number one, is not the best team in college football?
12:53They are not.
12:55All right.
12:55There's a better can we say that.
12:57OK.
12:58Can we just say Arch is not special?
13:02Can we just live in reality?
13:04Watch the games?
13:07He's fine.
13:08Not special.
13:09If I'm Arch, I may be.
13:11I mean, I know the money will be there, but maybe you think about going back for another season.
13:14Well, the other thing, can we say the celebration?
13:19I mean, did you did you see it Saturday?
13:22How do I put this politely?
13:24A Texas player grabbed his garden hose and watered the lawn, except it wasn't a garden hose and it wasn't
13:31the lawn.
13:33Like, sack celebrations, I'm willing to put up with a lot.
13:36That was ridiculous.
13:39Yeah.
13:39But I don't trust Texas and I don't trust Arch and I don't trust Sark in a big spot.
13:44They're good.
13:45They'll make the playoff.
13:46I don't think they're winning nothing.
13:48I agree with Mike.
13:50Everything he said is right.
13:51Arch is not special.
13:52They'll be in the playoff.
13:54Sure.
13:54But what does that do for you if you don't win anything?
13:57Yeah, they don't look like the best team in the nation.
14:00That's Can We Say That 97-1.
