00:07welcome in on an unbelievable tuesday we have a jam-packed show i have to air a grievance to
00:16start the show and i don't know if anyone will agree i think people will but i want to say
00:22something that i just feel like most people feel but they won't say rico can we start that way
00:28before we go down the rabbit hole of bryce underwood and whittingham and pat fitzgerald's
00:33middle finger may i you know what mike let's go okay so i may regret this but let's go no
00:41no i
00:42don't think you're going to regret anything to anything i promise this is nothing salacious
00:46it's sports the nfl is awful to watch 90 of the time the nfl has an unbelievable problem on its
00:57hand i want to hearken back to yesterday as the the latest i have to keep our streak alive we
01:03were
01:03in grave danger yesterday until david david went cal ripken and saved us last night rams and bills i
01:11was excited to watch and i'm telling you even if you see the final score or you watched like six
01:19minutes of the fourth quarter where you go wow this is whiz bang pow here's the issue 24 accepted
01:27penalties 31 penalties called 31 24 accepted and you get in a vortex watching the nfl where every play
01:40ends with one of the following an injury a review or a penalty the games are too long the games
01:49are
01:49over-officiated the games are over-analyzed and the worst part of all of it we are now conditioned
01:57like puppy dogs that we don't even celebrate for fear of the boogeyman aka the yellow flag graphic
02:08touchdown question mark you can't even stand up in your seat because you're looking immediately
02:16to the bottom of the screen and you get to see old spank mcgillicuddy come on there and talk about
02:23some five year five five yard penalty rico am i calling on you no no no i'm raising my hand
02:30yes
02:30that and lowering my head that that that is me because you've been conditioned because even live
02:36when state scored a touchdown immediately scan the field was in any yellow flags there you go okay now
02:43you can celebrate i want to know from you guys out there now listen this goes well beyond you know
02:50oh you're a boomer games should not be ending at midnight eastern standard time full stop i don't
02:59want to hear a couple minutes of ot these games this league the penalties the play stoppages the reviews
03:08the unbelievable amount of commercials and that's coming from a person who does a commercial product
03:17it's unbelievable i mean pretty soon they're going to start sponsoring your urination and you didn't
03:24even know it you're going to go pee and jake from state farm is going to be there to help
03:29you lift the
03:29seat i'm asking are you with me because to me college is one thing we're going to get to it
03:40the nfl is the
03:41most over officiated product in america and rico last night get a couple penalties i did i legitimately
03:51thought of you it's a third and forever and one of the corners in a different area code grabs a
04:00jersey
04:00quarterback's not looking that way quarterback even if he were one of these new battle robots wouldn't be
04:06able to get the ball over there put the flag away as paul sarah said yesterday so eloquently just
04:12because you can call holding on every play let's not prove that theory correct how about the new wave
04:19of flag cutscene after discussion with my scumbag friends there's no penalty on the play then why'd you
04:29throw the effing flag last night was the highlight of it that was supposed to be the game of the
04:40week
04:40along with niners and seattle rico average nfl game right now we're going north to 20 penalties
04:46we're getting 25 of them called in this case you're getting over 30 you're getting 24 accepted
04:54who's willing to say this with me because i know everything's the nfl everything i do is nfl
05:0375 of this show 100 of the side project with boomer esiason when we were doing cash the ticket much
05:10more work goes into the nfl what you guys care about the nfl advertising rates are built off of the
05:17nfl
05:18well guys do we have a problem i'm asking we do have a problem but no no no i'll i
05:28mean the injuries
05:29mike yeah you can't help that that's just i didn't say no no i'm just saying you said either it
05:34is an
05:34injury review you're getting seven of those a game right that's just because players don't do anything
05:39in the in the camps the flags i get the review they don't have to be that long but i'm
05:46okay with
05:47review if you get it right i'm i can live with the review part doesn't have to be as long
05:52let's
05:53expedite this if we don't know within 30 seconds we don't need to find this a brooder film to figure
05:58out okay well was it somebody in the grass you know i don't need that okay it's a touchdown or
06:04it's
06:04an incomplete pass but yes the flags can we can we agree the officials need to receive a memo
06:12throw half of the penalties you are currently throwing you are killing this sport yes and
06:19especially i would like to do this because they have this rule for intentional grounding yeah if
06:26there's not a receiver within a certain amount of space it's intentional grounding but if they said
06:32you know what the tight end was right there they could pick up the flag okay if the play didn't
06:37take
06:38place within 30 feet of the defensive holding 10 yards pick up the flag you know what you had no
06:45impact on the play no harm no foul we'll keep this thing going okay david paul and i'm happy to
06:51take
06:51the slander if you think everything's great everything's awesome shout out lego movie tell me
06:57the nfl has a officiating problem it is deeply impacting the watchability of the sport
07:04and i'll say it again to you no rational responsible human who's got to get up and go to
07:11work at a job they hate to support a family that hates them half the time can be up at
07:16midnight on a
07:17weeknight watching football it's an absurdity for a game to start at eight and to still be going at
07:24midnight and please i don't want to hear about the the nonsense with overtime if a game ends at 11
07:3035
07:31it's too late it's insanity and it's all the officiating stop it david paul god what do you
07:40got for me well i was also going to say too it's and this has been happening a lot lately
07:44if a receiver
07:45falls down in front of a defensive back that doesn't necessarily mean it's always pass interference
07:51correct and that happened against the bills when the bills got the lead 1914 there was a play where
07:56their feet got tangled and the receiver fell and they called him a penalty he never actually put his
08:00hands on the receiver at all their feet just got tangled because reps have begun to do the most
08:05dangerous thing of all paul they are making anticipation penalties they are throwing a flag
08:11on what they think they're seeing or what they think they're about to see it's gone too far i think
08:18it's to
08:18your point about the holding calls sometimes you know like they say in nascar rubbing is racing
08:24all right there's going to be holding on every play if it's egregious if it's on the edge if it's
08:30sprung a 40 yard run you got to drop the laundry but we can't be doing this i mean my
08:36god every big
08:38third down you get a team to third and 16 you know what you're afraid of some ridiculous freebie first
08:46down on a nonsense defensive call how about this year what is it with defensive holding brother if i'm a
08:54i'm simply on third and 18 yolo just no no run around in circles and just get a call in
09:01the
09:01secondary you'll get a call in the secondary i have no intention i'm throwing this ball like if i'm a
09:06ref and i know i'm facing a josh allen who's going to run around a lot and extend plays i'm
09:11going to
09:12make the burden of proof that much higher i can't have defenders be helpless and that's the problem
09:20everything's geared towards offense everything what's the point of playing defense i want does
09:25the nfl have a problem are you with me on this because i feel like saying it you say something
09:31about the nfl people look at you like you got a banana hanging off your head it's a bad product
09:37nine out of ten games now when it's good it's great but last night was ruined that should have
09:43been a great game it was a penalty review injury fiesta lasting essentially until midnight
09:51featuring idiocy on special teams it's just funny that you say the nfl and all that because people
09:57will tell you it feels great it's great it's great because you know well you know college football
10:02that's what's just horrible it's like no there's great games in all sports but most of the games are
10:07not most baseball games are not occasionally you'll get a great game football's once a week though that's
10:15the difference we center our week on these games and you sit down to watch it why by the end
10:22of the
10:22game do i notice six or seven annoying things about the lead official because he's been on my screen so
10:28much i'm so glad you brought up the lead official yesterday because at one point yesterday they threw a
10:33flag he walked around for a while and they were like there was a flag we thought maybe they picked
10:39it up walked a while from a for a while and then finally said oh replay assist says there was
10:44no flag
10:45then why don't you even throw one in the first place and why are you taking forever walking around
10:49after he was talking davis like people go for a walk on their phone he was talking to you wasting
10:55my
10:55time he's talking to new york after deeper discussion we've you've what you threw the flag
11:02why'd you throw the flag they threw a flag for roughing the passer last night and then what
11:07talked about their feelings
