00:00All right, let's get to the Monday night football games.
00:05They stunk.
00:06They stunk.
00:06That's what are you going to say?
00:08Falcons and Raiders last night.
00:10This game was, was it worse than the other one?
00:12Probably, I guess.
00:13Falcons win 15 to 9.
00:16Raiders started Spencer Rattler.
00:19He was brutal.
00:21Kirk Cousins was no better.
00:23But Atlanta somehow found a way to win and stay in the playoff
00:26fight for the Raiders at this point.
00:28They were missing, they were missing Mason Crosby.
00:32They're running back on her too, Sincere McCormick.
00:34It's just a shell of what they looked like at the beginning
00:36of the season and the Raiders are now challenging for one
00:39of the top three picks in the upcoming NFL draft.
00:42But the question for the Falcons at this point remains,
00:46do they eventually make a change at quarterback?
00:49I mean, Kirk Cousins still has not played well and Raheem
00:52Morris addressed that last night.
00:54He's got to play better and you know, obviously you got
00:56to go back, got to be a look at everything.
00:57But you know, he wants to play better.
00:59He's got to play better.
01:00We got to find a way to get him to play better.
01:02And obviously we'll get to work tomorrow.
01:04That's a part of our process, right?
01:05You go, you look at the tape, you review with the people
01:07that needs to be reviewed with, you know, we get all the
01:09coordinators in the room.
01:10We'll talk with everybody and we got to play better at
01:12the quarterback position.
01:13So part B to that, if he can't, are you prepared to replace
01:18him with Michael Pennix?
01:20You know, we got everybody in our roster for a reason, right?
01:22We got so much to get better at and like those things will
01:25always be discussed.
01:26That's just the nature of the beast in football.
01:28It just so heavily talked about it at the quarterback
01:30position because there's only one guy out there, you know,
01:32so like for us, man, our mentality is to find a way to
01:34win the next game.
01:35That's just a mentality that we're going to have glad to
01:37find a way to win.
01:39You know, it's never easy going on the road and winning
01:40this league and it's great to find a way, you know, certainly
01:45a lot of plays that you that you look at and you say, hey,
01:48we can be better.
01:49I can be better.
01:52So those conversations will happen certainly, but great
01:55to find a way with our defense was phenomenal the night
01:57special teams is phenomenal.
01:58Run game was strong.
02:00You know, we just didn't didn't convert enough third downs
02:04really to stay on the field and then turn some of those
02:06drives into points.
02:08By the way, I misspoke here, but I want to correct myself.
02:11I said that the Raiders started Spencer Rattler.
02:14They started Desmond Ritter, but is there a difference?
02:19I'm starting to think about is there a difference between
02:21those two quarterbacks?
02:21I don't know.
02:22Anyway.
02:23All right, Bears Vikings.
02:24This was the game that just crushed me watching this one
02:26and the Vikings.
02:28Yeah, I was because I was playing against all these Vikings
02:30and the Bears were just so bad yesterday until the end and
02:34the score didn't even indicate how close the game was this
02:36could have been a shutout very easily Bears couldn't get
02:38a fourth down their life was counting on it.
02:41Same thing for third down and basically Sam Darnold Aaron
02:45Jones, they kind of carved up the Bears defense.
02:48The Bears look cooked even with this new head coach interim
02:51coach Thomas Brown things are not going well.
02:53Let's hear from Sam Darnold after the game as the Vikings
02:56are now charging believe it or not toward the number one
02:59seed in the NFC, you know, I think just to be able to you
03:02know, come in it starts with, you know, ko obviously as
03:04well being able to send that message to us and we've talked
03:08about all the time.
03:08We talked about it, you know ever since really OTA is I feel
03:11like our guys have been doing such a good job of just attacking
03:14what's in front of us and we're just going to continue to
03:17do that last night.
03:18You guys actually clinched playoffs last night after the
03:21Sunday night game.
03:22Do you take a second to absorb that at all before getting
03:25back to getting ready for this one?
03:28You know, I think for us it's it truly is, you know, it's
03:32great first and foremost to be able to, you know, recognize
03:36it, you know, during the night and to be able to be with some
03:40of my teammates when that happened, you know, that's special
03:43in that moment, but to be able to wake up today and know
03:46that we have a job to do, you know, that's the best part
03:49about our team is we can we can enjoy moments like that and
03:53be mature enough to be able to come come into work today
03:55and get the job done.
03:58All right.
03:58Now the question for the upcoming week in the NFL isn't so
04:01much about the Vikings or the Bears.
04:04It's really about the Kansas City Chiefs at this point in
04:06the injury to Patrick Mahomes.
04:08It looks like there's a chance Mahomes could play this week.
04:11He has a high ankle sprain.
04:13The likelihood is the Chiefs could just shut him down for
04:16a week and then have him return Christmas Day.
04:18We will see.
04:18We'll have an update on that on tomorrow's show.
04:21Meanwhile, Mike Tomlin says that there's a chance that TJ
04:24Watt could play for the Steelers this week.
04:26He left last week's game with an injury and also they'll
04:28need George Pickens back for that offense.
04:30The Steelers just not looking the same without him.
04:33Former Steeler Deontay Johnson has an excuse to be away
04:36from the team.
04:37He is, you know, had a little bit of a checkered history
04:40here with the Ravens basically refusing to play in the game
04:44as well.
04:44I would doubt we'll see him the rest of the season and
04:46the same could be said for former first-round pick Clyde
04:48Edwards, a layer from the Kansas City Chiefs.
04:50He was released.
04:51He had suffered from PTSD over the last year or so.
04:54Hopefully gets a new opportunity to play somewhere.
04:56The biggest story in sports yesterday.
04:58Honestly comes in college football.
04:59Dave Clawson resigned as the head coach of Wake Forest.
05:03He was there 11 years.
05:05He's going to remain with the University in an advisory
05:07role working with their athletic director.
05:09They made this announcement yesterday and it basically
05:11came out of nowhere completely unexpected for the Demon
05:14Deacons. West Virginia has set aside seven and a half
05:16million dollars for Rich Rodriguez's new staff.
05:19That should be coming soon.
05:20Also some big transfer portal news for Penn State.
05:23They're going to lose one quarterback, a backup quarterback
05:26Beau Privula. James Franklin talked about the announcement
05:30yesterday.
05:30They get their starter back, but it looks like they're
05:33highly touted backup is headed to a new school.
05:36We got problems in college football and I can give you
05:44my word.
05:46Beau Privula did not want to leave our program and he did
05:51not want to leave our program until the end of the season,
05:54but the way the portal is and the timing of it and the way
06:00our team is playing and when you play the position of
06:04quarterback and there's only one spot and those spots are
06:07filling up.
06:08He felt like he was put in a no-win situation and and I
06:17agree with him and I number one, I hate for it number one
06:24most importantly for Beau Privula.
06:28I don't think it's in the best interest of the student
06:32athlete.
06:32I don't think it's in the best interest of college football,
06:36but I think that's our challenge right now, right?
06:38Who is really running college football and making the best
06:44decisions for the student athletes and for our sport as
06:48a whole.
06:50I'll coach Franklin.
06:51I have the answer for you.
06:52I know who's running college football.
06:54It's the money Washington State quarterback.
06:57John Matthew headed to his third team.
06:59It looks like in three years.
07:01He's going to be in the transfer portal.
07:02He used to back up Cam Ward believe or not once upon a
07:05time.
07:05He'll have no problem getting work.
07:07All right in the NBA crazy game last night between the
07:09Pistons and Heat.
07:10I don't know if you caught this one.
07:11Jimmy Butler had a triple-double.
07:12He was down big.
07:13They came all the way back to tie the game.
07:15They went to overtime, but Detroit wins 125 to 124 the
07:19final their Cavs still the NBA's best 23 and 4.
07:22They beat the Nets by 29 points Nuggets survive a huge
07:26comeback by the Sacramento Kings.
07:27They also win by a point James Hardwood a huge game last
07:30night with the Jazz and the Clippers.
07:31They win 144 to 107.
07:34Hey, the NBA Cup championship is tonight.
07:36Gilbert McGregor will be along to have a preview of this
07:39a little bit later.
07:39We've got the Thunder taking on the Bucks Thunder minus
07:42four and a half points and also a new number one in college
07:45basketball, Tennessee previous number one Kansas, of course
07:48lost a couple of games and they fall to number eight in
07:51the country.
