00:00803-0550. Hey everybody, I'm back. Excited to be back. Baltimore on Sunday. I've been
00:06catching the Baltimore discourse, the Alan, the Alan Lamar discourse. Is it even, is Alan even
00:12involved? No. A lot of it this week is just, and it's coming from Baltimore also. We played,
00:18did we play the video? There's a video of Ravens fans kind of saying the same stuff. Like, get on
00:24the field, dude. Right. Like, what, you can't play unless it's exactly 100%. You can't play if
00:29you're 90%. Like, there is a lot of that with Jackson right now. There's a lot of
00:34stuff being uncovered from previous seasons where, like, I read a couple
00:39quotes that I saw Nick Wright bring up in 2021 where Harbaugh for, like, multiple
00:44weeks in a row was like, yeah, he assured me he's going to play. He's going to
00:47play. It's a day-to-day thing. He'll be back. And then he didn't play the rest of
00:50the season. No. Like, he just, he's going to play now. I think that's almost. We
00:55certainly think so. Yeah. I saw the, the Nick Wright clip and agreed with a lot of
01:01it because, you know, I don't think we're here to call anyone soft or call
01:07anyone fragile, but Lamar, the entire time he's been in the league, hasn't it
01:15been, he's unavailable or he's questionably available or that's a bigger
01:21part of it. You never really know what's going on. And the difference
01:25between Lamar and Josh is with Josh, we know he's hurt and playing anyway. And
01:31with Lamar, you don't know if he's hurt and maybe not playing as a result. Allen
01:36never even tells you what his injuries are. He won't even throw up, show up on
01:39the injury report, even if he's got one, right? They've somehow mastered that
01:43game where they, we know he's hurt. We know something's in there and it's not
01:47even on the injury report. The thing I wonder about Lamar, and I say this as
01:51someone that thinks he's excellent, amazing when he's on the field, money
01:55plays. And you know, the last time these two teams met in the playoffs, Lamar
02:01outplayed Allen. Yeah. He did have turnovers, but you know me, like I, I don't
02:05think those have to be the end all be all. He played a great game in a loss here
02:10to Josh and the bills. And you know, that doesn't matter because there are two
02:16things about these two that are different. One is playoff success. And
02:19the other is, will you play? Can I count on you to play playoff success? Josh is
02:24a lot better. Can I count on you to play? It's a blowout. I mean, it's, it's, it's
02:30yeah. Two ends of the spectrum. I can count on Allen to play. And with Lamar, I
02:35just, I never know. No. And it's really about the, the questionable, like you don't
02:41really ever know what's going on. Part of it. Like what, what feels worse? Feels
02:47worse. And maybe there is no difference what actually the results are, but Joe
02:52Burrow versus Lamar. Joe Burrow's missed more games in his career than Lamar
02:55Jackson has. He has, but they're all season ending injuries. It's a torn
03:01ligament in his elbow. There's an ACL. There's an ACL in his rookie season. There
03:05was a, there was another, there's a foot injury maybe. Whatever. There were the
03:10bad season ending injuries where no one's expecting you to play through a
03:14torn ACL or, oh, I have a ripped ligament in my right elbow. What am I
03:18gonna do? You can't play through that. Like Burrow's missed games, but when it's
03:22that or Jackson, who's missed almost the same amount of games, I think it's 16 to
03:2824. So like whatever. But with Jackson, it all kind of sounds like it's now you
03:34just don't want to do it. Right. Like you could, but you don't really, you don't
03:39feel like, what did he say earlier in the week? I don't feel like that I'm going to
03:43be helping the team if I'm not a hundred percent out there, which I think is
03:47bogus. I think him at 70% is probably a lot better than Tyler Huntley. Yeah, maybe
03:52Huntley ends up being pretty good. But the thing about it that's so strange is it's
03:56not like Lamar is the kind of guy that if he's got a high ankle sprain or if he's
04:00got some sort of whatever limitation to being able to run, he's still an
04:04incredible passer without having to run. Incredible. This is not the guy that
04:10needs to run to survive says, well, I can't run, so I can't play. That's what's
04:16odd to me. But even beyond that, it's like it actually happens like even in
04:20games, right? Like not just to be like snarky about it. He leaves to go to the
04:25bathroom in the middle of games. I think a lot of guys do that, don't they? He
04:30doesn't, they don't misplays, right? They don't misdrive. He's a starting
04:33quarterback. That's happened to him. How about there was a time where me and
04:38Nate were sitting here doing pregame, was it last year or the year before? And
04:42Jackson, I remember this only because I had him in fantasy that day. I'm not
04:45sure the game mattered, but it's like 11 o'clock and all of a sudden like, oh, Lamar
04:49might not play today because he feels sick. Like what? Yeah. It's 11 o'clock on a
04:53Sunday. What do you mean he might not play? I think he might have actually
04:56played, but it was a question and he's been a guy who's, has he missed games
05:01through the flu? I feel like I'd want to bet he has at some point along the
05:05way. I just think he's giving off the impression that if I don't feel right, I
05:10just don't really feel like playing. I'm not going to play. And you've got Josh
05:14Allen and Mahomes and you've got, I mean, most quarterbacks are this way, I
05:18would say, where if they've got something like that going on, a nagging
05:22injury or you're sick or whatever, then they're going to be on the field no
05:26matter what. And you just don't even have to question it. 803 05 50. If you
05:30want to chat with us about the bills and the Ravens coming up Sunday, one
05:33o'clock off the buy, the bill said the longest active streak in the NFL of
05:37wins off the buy 11 in a row, 11 in a row. Do you know the last game they
05:43lost off the buy? Yeah. Hmm. We looked it up a little earlier in the week. I
05:49there's no way I'm going to know this because it's I'll tell you the game
05:52and maybe you can tell me what happened. That I'm sure I can do. The bills lost to
05:56the chiefs 17 to 13 in 2014 with Kyle Orton as their quarterback. Okay. I
06:01don't remember that at all. This is the Bryce Brown fumble game. Ah, yes. They
06:04should have won. Yes. They should have won. Yeah. Benjamin in Jamestown leads us
06:09off on this Thursday morning on, uh, on the saves. What's up, Benjamin?
06:13Good morning. Uh, sorry to interrupt the Ravens talk. That's all right. I'm flying
06:18out to LA, driving to the airport right now. Going to see the Sabres play the Ducks
06:21tonight. My brother's picking me up from the airport. We're driving straight there
06:25and then going to the Kings game on Saturday. Did this trip in the spring, uh, last
06:29season on back-to-back nights because the Olympic schedule was just for any fans that
06:34ever want to do it. I know it's not a cheap trip, but it really is a good
06:38experience. The Kings stadium pretty late back arena. Ducks fans seem to take it
06:43pretty seriously. I know that the stakes aren't as high right now as it was in the
06:47spring. We're playing against the Ducks and that was a fun overtime loss. Um, but
06:52it's a, it's a good trip. I think I'd really suggest it for anybody who looks to go
06:55out there. And are you familiar with the movie UHF, Jeremy? Uh, yes. Yes. So this
07:02Saturday, uh, the Hollywood Bowl, the only reason I have this trip booked is do a
07:06screening with a live orchestra and Weird Al's band. Wow. They're playing the
07:10music live with it. That's the only reason I'm taking this trip and the
07:13Sabres are not to schedule. So I'm doing this trip again, uh, going to see both
07:18hockey games as well. So it's a pretty busy weekend for me. But I just want to say
07:22anyone ever interested in doing it, uh, good trip, certainly. Yeah. It's certainly
07:27worth it. The Ducks have their own parking garages, free parking at all Ducks
07:31games. Nice. Get out there, get some California weather, uh, go Sabres, go
07:35Bells. Thank you. Thanks Benjamin. If you'd given me 10,000 years to guess why
07:40you're going to Los Angeles, a live UHF performance with an orchestra would
07:45have been pretty, it would taken a long time to get there. Enjoy the trip. Ducks
07:49games. You did not go to the Washington game when you were in Washington? No. End
07:53of our trip. We were leaving at like four o'clock the next morning. So we get out
07:57before a marathon, closed all the streets down. Like we're not, yeah, let's, yeah,
08:00let's just watch the game. You didn't want to see Alex Tuck score the two
08:02goals. No, he scored two goals again last night. He did, huh? Yeah. He's, I
08:07believe he's got nine goals in 11 games. What are those nine goals going to look
08:11like in six years? 803-0550. So it's fine. It's fine. It's totally fine. It's
08:17fine. The Sabres got to win. They beat a team that never wins in regulation in
08:20the, in the, uh, sharks. Yeah, they still, they're sitting on one, one
08:23and the Sabres have, are they up to three? Hey, beating them before overtime
08:28though is an accomplishment because not many teams to do in that. That's right.
08:30That's right. That's right. And, uh, anyway, on the Sabres, how did you, how
08:35did you handle it? We never put it on the bet board. I should have led with
08:38this. Connor Hallibuck's next game will be a Buffalo as a Buffalo
08:41Sabre. We never, I don't think we bet it. I didn't bet against it. I
08:44definitely said it a bunch. You definitely said it a lot and it did not
08:48happen. And he has played and he is a member of the New Jersey Devils. And
08:51I've got some thoughts on that as well. I mean, it could be worse. You could
08:53have purchased a Connor Hallibuck Sabres jersey. That, that, that's
08:57something that Joe Kelly did do. Yeah. He has it now forever. It'll be a
09:00thing. It'll be in the ethers of history there in 15 years. He's
09:04going to wear it somewhere. I mean, like what on earth are you
09:07wearing? It's going to, it's going to bring back flashbacks of just
09:10the hella buck summer. Honestly, though, how different is that than
09:13like a random, you know, uh, Baltimore Ravens, 2013 AFC North
09:20champs shirt, right? Like not a year where you win the Superbowl, just a
09:24year that nobody remembers. You won the division. Like, Oh, Oh, Oh,
09:27that's right. They had a good year that year. And this
09:31Jersey would be like, Oh, that's right. I remember the Sabres
09:33were talking about this as an idea. Yeah. It's not that
09:36different. No, it's not. It's not that bad. I mean, it's a
09:40little, how different is it than the Colts AFC finalist? Oh,
09:44maybe not different than that. Participation banner. Yeah. How
09:47different is it than if I, what was that one? AFC finalists? When a
09:50team, when a team makes the wild card in baseball and they sell
09:53the shirts, it's not that different. Those are things that you
09:56accomplish. Yeah. Right. Those you get across the line. That's
10:00that, it would be the same basically as if the Sabres, you know, I
10:04guess they just made it. In 2023, when they missed by one point, if
10:07they had been selling jerseys or shirts during April, that said, uh,
10:112023 Stanley cup playoffs and you bought one of those shirts, that's
10:15that would be the equivalent. That's probably right. All right.
10:18Shots of audio, Sal Capaccio, Brian Wacker from the Baltimore
10:21Sun on the Ravens fun frivolity along the way on a beautiful day. It's
10:26going to be a near record highs today. So enjoy it. Get with us. Jump
10:30in. Tyrell Shavers being activated today. He played like 40% of their
10:36snaps. Yeah. Yeah. As the one of the original Tyrell Shavers truthers, I
10:43remain stunned what Tyrell Shavers now gets treated like now that he's
10:47returning from pub and that says the OG. Yeah. You were like training
10:53camp here. I was, I was, I was foundation basement level. This guy
10:58can play. Yeah. And now we're at like, this guy has got a cult
11:02following. So good to get him back. He's a good player, but you know,
11:06anyway, 803-0550 to join us. Jeremy and Joe on WGR.
