The whole thing just fraudulent Miami beats. I mean, Miami beats two one loss SEC teams that are supposed to be the cream of the crop and Ohio state. So those are supposed to be the best teams and Miami beat all of them. And the country saw last night. This is the funny thing about the underdog tail and the
lovable Trinidad Chamberlain is that everyone watched that game was like, oh my god, Miami's just mulling them. They're just physically mulling them. You can't be running 17 yards to carry everything second and two. They're just going to hold the ball all game. So we're not starting with damn a second NFL predictions. We should. You're right. Let's speed damage check up and get the five most interesting things going into this weekend. Are you ready, damn a check? I'm ready. I'm ready. So give me what you've got on Jacksonville because Dominique Foxworth and many others are saying the Jags are a Antoni. The Jags are clearly and obviously better than the builds. There will surprise no one. Hold on a second. Wait, Dominique Foxworth said that. What? Still in your voice stuff now. Dominique just said on his podcast that it's obvious to him and clear to him that the Jags are better than the builds. It should be obvious to everyone. So they're like six weeks ago. Damage check is it obvious to you? What's obvious to me is that the two best teams in the AFC are both
from the AFC South Jacksonville Jaguar's Jaguars, please, please. And the Houston Texans. Those are your two best teams. And as far as the Jacksonville game goes on the other sideline Sean McDermott, a lot of noise about Josh Allen. But if they lose this game, I think McDermott's out. So don't rush to hire John Harbaugh if you're the Dolphins or otherwise. If you like Sean McDermott a little bit better. Next, the Jenga pieces are back for the Eagles. The Jenga theory is, of course, if you remove the wrong piece, the whole thing's going to implode. The Eagles have one on defense. His name is Jalen Carter. He's back, as you already know, the offense of Jenga piece for the Philadelphia Eagles is Lane Johnson. He's back that equals not just a victory over the diminished 49ers. It equals a visit to Santa Clara for Super Bowl 60 with a shot at repeating. Next talking about the coaching carousel and all of that, just because they survived the Ravens on Sunday night does not mean Tomlinson the clear. They need to win this game or they're still out in the land of ambiguity at
least. I think in March, I would not be surprised if he moved on if they do not win this game. Next up, oh, as far as that goes, the loser of Sunday night football had they won that game, the Ravens. What is the buzz about them? Because everybody is now declared because everybody has to react to name brands and Josh Allen. This is his year to do it. Are we now picking the Ravens to go through the AFC and win that? I think there would be expectations for MVP Lamar Jackson to be MVP Lamar Jackson, even though the reason they weren't as good in Harbour got fired is because this year he was not MVP Lamar Jackson. By the way, as far as Harbour goes, his great success is remarkable how durable it was and how consistent he was. But don't forget that there is a sort of biblical may I'm going to refer back to the Bible once again, but replacing Justin Tucker with that rookie who missed the kick Justin Tucker is the reason the Ravens were relevant and in the
playoffs a lot of seasons. I mean, now everybody else has a good kicker, but at the time he was winning them games the otherwise wouldn't have. Keep that in mind when you're falling all over yourself to get John Harbour. And lastly, where I where I ended the last segment, I know that people are concerned are great that their empathy doesn't want them to put too much pressure on Josh Allen or Matthew Stafford or CJ Stroud. Take it easy. The sample sizes are small. You can't judge them based on that. But keep in mind, that's what's great about the playoffs. It's the whole point. They only give out one Lombardi trophy at the end of every year. And that's what makes it so compelling is the severity of it. And keep this in mind. It was always hard to win a Lombardi trophy is Dan Marino can tell you and Jim Kelly and Fran Tarkington. But right now, there is no math that allows for Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes to get another one at least one more before he goes on and Brock Perty and CJ Stroud. And by the way, I think
Bonix and the Broncos are going to the Super Bowl. How about this sophomore class if I'm right or Drake made does it or Caleb Williams goes to the Super Bowl. Their early entry into the conversation the greatest draft class of all time. A Jaden Daniels was in the title game a year ago. He had to sit it out from injury. We're already at that level. If one of or more than one of those cats makes a run here and then why don't you believe that Trevor Lawrence and the Jags the most impressive convincing thing to me that I have seen in football the last six weeks was the Jags going to Denver and dragging that defense with 10. So why are you doing this where you make that like legitimately there's been some impressive stuff the last two months. The Rams can be undefeated five weird one score losses makes it totally possible that they go through the road and get to the Super Bowl and no one would be surprised by that. No one at all would be surprised by that like I don't know why you're doing this with Denver when Jacksonville seems that unless Houston's defense can stop Jacksonville it seems fairly obvious that Jacksonville is better than anyone in the
AFC since since making a trade that changed their wide receivers forever. I mean it's a very close call. I'm not the only person I think I think all of football America is pointing at that game Buffalo and Jacksonville is the toughest call of this weekend. You know I am riding with for 60 minutes here. One super hero performance from Josh Allen. I completely agree Trevor Lawrence has outdoled Josh Allen in a side by side over the last six weeks or so he's been the better quarter back. I am just I this is not based on anything intellectual. I am going with the gut. I think Buffalo survives that one. I can tell I know that I can tell that I can tell it. Go with your gut. I'm telling people to go to football America and your I get it. I think that once in a while the super hero effect does it is not again durable. It's you're not going to ride it. Buffalo is
not going to the super your prediction from the most hard to predict game of the weekend is I'm going with my gut damage check filled with filled with close. What are you? What are you? What are you going? Are you doing a spreadsheet on it? I this it's a it's a very narrow call to make and I I am leaning with the known entity here and I know I'm being a little bit of a hypocrite for a number of reasons. I also think that Jacksonville is one of those teams that America for self identifying football fans. A lot of people could not name more than three guys off that rock. Do everybody know forever Lawrence. And I think there is some there's some momentum. Oh, there are offenses. No, come on. There's good offense man. Liam Cole is a very good coach. I completely agree. Liam by the way, as I'm talking about John Harbond, Sean McDerman, all these these retread guys, who would you hire if you fired Mike Tomlin? If you fired John Harbaugh,
who are you going to replace them with? These guys are the straws that stir the drink. Kyle Shanahan and San Francisco is more important than Brock Purdy is. Koc in Minnesota is more important. Ben Johnson clearly was more important in Detroit than than Dan Campbell or Jared Goff is. And now the the same is true down in Jacksonville. Instead of a retread, go and get yourself one of these clever OCs like Liam Cohen. He was a punchline because of his press conference a year ago. Now look at all. They tried that. They tried that. Keenan McCartle. Okay, you're you're you're in a nice role there. Maurice Jones drew. You guys are going to keep doing this with 90s, Jags. Tony Bacelli. Sam Bacelli. Jacksonville is the best team. Thank you, Dan. I think it seems like you agree with Dominique. Well, I just can't but it's not just the best team this weekend. Jacksonville is the best team and it's not like if you've been watching what they've been doing the last six weeks, in the AFC. They're the buzz saw offense and and unless Houston's defense can stop them.
Dan, your refusal to believe in the Denver Broncos is astonishing to me. Well, what I it's because of what I saw them do at Denver. It's what I just do it again at Denver. Okay, but they made it look pretty easy. Mark Brunel. Last thing, Damace check. I wanted to ask you because I think much of the coverage around football is silly. But when we get into the numbers and the business of sport, you got to have value at left tackle. You got to have value at quarterback. Generally speaking, Trent Williams is regarded in San Francisco as the most indispensable offensive line. And there is however, in Philadelphia, every time Lane Johnson plays, they win and win the championship. And when he doesn't, they stink and they lose. How is it that people more people don't understand that Lane Johnson is a game changing machine as much as AJ Brown or any like if we're going to make if we're going to make Jason Kelsey famous, how have we made this person this person's excellence not understood? The reason they went championships is when that guy plays right tackle, not left tackle.
Tony Brackens. The other side of that is who was the kid that the really tall white guy that they took who had that was it Matt Jones name. Wow. Listen, six wide receiver. Dan, I think I think I think the problem is that I find it the thing that I point to, there's a pretentious football fan is the person who starts to tell you about how good an offensive lineman is. Not most of us, most civilians cannot correctly identify a good offensive lineman versus a mediocre one. We can tell the bad ones because you can see the guys running by them. But beyond that, the when people start letting you know about how good Tony Bacelli was, you know that that person is full of I told you they could not watch film and why they could not watch film and tell you, oh, that guy's going to be great in the NFL. Look at that guy playing a Texas right now. He's a dominant left guard. You have no ability to to articulate or to identify who's good or merely okay at what
they're doing. That being said, I can legally agree with you about Lane Johnson. Look at the results. I think that you will see at the end of this weekend. If there is anyone who isn't aware of Lane Johnson's effect, I suspect that they will learn it based on Sequan Barkley and company having a day against the San Francisco 49ers. Like I say, diminished rush defense. I also think right tackle Daniel J. R. Amai and I have talked about this a lot over the years name drop. Left tackle is important, but if you're right handed, play if you're not if you're not Mark Brunel all right, that's what Dave Damage is throwing with the left man. Music's over. You're 20 more minutes. You've run 20 more minutes and then that's it. By the way, I said Paul for the Dolphins was good week three, so don't say that I can't. Football America. Football America is the name of my guys. I can say things too, Chris Cote. He doesn't make him accurate. I can just throw out a bunch of crap about how great that offensive linemen is.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. This is the Dan Limiter show with the Stugat. You and your toy, Jesus, get out of here. If people want more coverage, they can find you on Football America. Thank you, Josh. Oh, we got a beauty coming for you today. Yes, it's a lot of fun. What is approaching with these playoffs? I did want to, I actually wanted to and we couldn't get to it because he talks too much. I wanted to find what would be the historical comp for what do you mean there's an offensive lineman out there who wanders the earth and they win championships and the champions always win in tough guy Philadelphia
when he's tougher than everyone else at offensive line play. So good at it that he's a right tackle who everyone in football knows is whatever Trent Williams is is a left tackle. What's the historical comp for a human being who's running through football that way and shouldn't that be the guy? The guy who has to black block Max Crosby successfully. Should that not be the guy who is the guy who gets to be the king of football more than Patrick Holmes or anyone else that the guy who every time Jason Kelsey's famous because he was one of the five guys on that line. But all the other four guys on that line don't know that's the that's the guy who's the biggest of the gorillas. Give me the historical comfort offensive lineman that gives off of that. I don't have one. Like I don't I believe this person should be a lot more famous than he is. I believe the idea of somebody being a mauling right tackle is a mauling right tackle who wins championships because the chiefs are not physically strong enough to deal with whatever that thing is because we talked to Lane Johnson. He worked he laughed. He laughed. He's like, yeah,
I need a babysitter for a while because of you know the performance enhancers that there's rage control impulse control issues. There's a person playing for the Philadelphia Eagles the champion to make Saquon Barkley a lot better. Who every time he plays damage checking everyone else is saying yeah, the Eagles won championships. You've been talking about all year but they're they're going to go back to being the thing that has five cement mixers and just choose up offense and what's so weird about why isn't Jalen? Why is Jalen hurts have so many three now? So could Lane Johnson's not playing. Is there a better first name for an offense alignment than Lane? You create lanes. I was thinking about this the other day with Gainwell. That's a good name for a running back. I'm like, is it the best name for running back and then I'm like, no, Chase Brown is because he's telling you from the back of his uniform, the verb you have to do to chase. Chase Brown. This guy's a writer. Chase Brown. Those are both great. Gainwell. Well, Gainwell is easy. Chase Brown is for a running back name. Chase Brown is great. In terms of first names though for an offense alignment lane. Crazy that he's the most important lane in football. Link Kiffin isn't even the most important lane
in football. Damage checks. Since he's still there, can you answer my question? What's the historic time? He's still here for. I love it. Give me the historic comp for Lane Johnson because I don't have it in the room here. Boy, now see, now I've been put on the spot. I should have just turned my my laptop off when I had a chance because I don't have they didn't know how. You should have asked Patrick Paul maybe. Detroit Jesus. Jimmy Smith by the way. See, it means got the answers. Let's lean on him. I'm trying to think of the I'm trying to run through my head and super bowl there. The reason the reason I'm bringing this up, the only reason I'm bringing this up is Damage check really loves football. He really knows football and as much as he knows and loves football, I think he might love football history even more than that. I think it's unfair in a game of violence and real estate acquisition that the lineman don't get enough attention but now Jason Kelsey has a talk show. But the biggest beast in the business is Lane Johnson and I don't feel like
enough people understand what that means and I don't have a comp for him at all. James Stewart. At all. I don't have any comp for him. Not one. Natron means. There's one for you. I mean, Dan, I completely hear you, but do you hear my point that I think it's we are detached from it? We can't really. We try to celebrate. I mean, I grew up as did you with people talking about, well, Anthony Munoz, everybody knows he's the greatest left tackle. Everybody gets that like based on what? But because the experts tell us that beyond that, we don't really have the ability to divine that with our own eyes. I think that's why it's a little bit unsatisfying for us to try and celebrate offensive lineman because deep down most of us understand we don't get it. Reggie Barlow. Football America is the podcast. Now get out of here. Just close your laptop and get out of here. Tony, what game are we playing here? I'm trying to help you, Dan. Is Jonathan Ogden a good one? Well, but here, the reason that I'm doing this, okay. Look,
so I don't know if you guys noticed or not, but is it Diego Pounds, the left tackle for Mississippi? Because Ruben Bain was shut down last night and I didn't think that was a possible thing. Now, they moved him around and I don't know the specifics of whether or not, because I haven't broken down film. I don't know whether Bain was being moved to avoid the fact that he wasn't getting pressure or whether they were just moving him around strategically. We may not have seen it, but according to Kevin Clark, Ruben Bain had more pressures, six, than anyone on either team last night. So he may not have had the sacks. He may not have had the big tackles that you noticed, but he did have six pressure. I'm with Dan, though. I didn't notice him a lot. There's a lot of scheme stuff happening too, though, right? Like, old miss is very good at getting rid of the ball quickly and trying to make things happen. So what's the easiest way to get to neutralize a pass rush at throw the ball out where he can't get there? So that's just quick. You guys saw what the first quarter was of that game. Okay. As I Miami control, I had the ball the entire first quarter and then the second quarter starts at Mississippi is Ole Miss is up seven three because they get a 73 year
run. Okay. It's the longest run against Miami since 2017. Miami hadn't allowed only a 30 yard rush against Notre Dame as the longest run, a total fluke of a play. Fluke, like a fluke of a play that hasn't happened in eight years. This defense is violent and good. We all know this. It's not up for question. But when Bain last night is quieter than he was in any of the previous two games, and he spoiled us and many of the games played this season six pressures. You are correct. Good game for mortals and but no, this guy is supposed to be tougher than all the other guys. And the biggest advantage Miami had last night was defensive line. They've got two first four. I like the Dan had to just I like the Dan just had to move from his left hand to his right hand because it looked like he was picking my giant nose for the viewers out there. David Gerard. Maybe edge. I already did. David Gerard playing. Get to the end. To that point though, Dan, a key measure or got hurt also. And that's a big part of their line. And then came back. Did probably put
a knee brace. Oh, I wondered what they shot him up with. Did you guys, I mean, there's just like on the ground like shaking. No, he shouldn't have been on the feet. Would you see how hard is elbow hit the helmet? And then I'm in a 500 pound guy landed on an awkward way. Like that guy's a beast. What would we actually want to know the science of just take me with a camera to find out what Messador just had to do to get back in this game. It's a very long needle. No, might it have just been a stinger. And he didn't actually need anything. That's not how that's staying. That's not how stingers work. No, like I don't know how. Stingers don't work your arm going the wrong way on somebody's health. Big stinger guy. I looked forward. Well, no, I'm not a big. All right, Chris. No, I'm not a big. You hit me with that's not how stingers work. Chris. Okay. I did hit you with this. And then you came back at me with big stinger guy. Are you your stinger friends? No, but being in locker rooms and talking to athletes about how stingers work. I don't know. I don't know about stingers. Look, just when we don't understand what we're watching in football because we don't
in terms of what the physical pain is. The stinger is low on the list. And if it happened to me, I would be a coward. And so I Christopher was more of a man than I am. So when I asked the questions about what is a stinger usually in there. Look, there were a lot of violent hits in that game. A number of them and a number of guys were going off the field with what looked like stinger is because of the nature of the collisions. A stinger usually doesn't happen because someone is Hulk Hogan leg dropped on the right side of your elbow when it's on the back of its arm. That's just ignorance from you. It's not because I'm a stinger guy because you sound like an idiot asshole. Blaine Gabbard. I've had a stinger where, you know, a couple minutes later, you're like, hard. I'm ready to go. How was he still here? How, how, how, how, go nights? Why, why is damage check still here? Football America is coming up. You should check out football America. I don't feel like we've covered the NFL well enough today. Jack Del Rio. He was the guy who wanted the acts in the room. And then the punter hit himself in the, he tried to do it. And he almost cut his leg off. The Jacksonville Jaguars, everybody, the team whose logo is a Jaguar with a sick blue tongue.
What's going on? What, what disease does that, does that Jaguar have that is tongue turn blue? Teal. I'm worried about him. My word association with Jack Del Rio is me at the Bristol hotel, a couple seats over at the bar, not saying anything to him, just kind of keeping an eye on him, just observing him. At that double tree? Yeah. What do you want to, what do you want to talk about? You said we haven't covered the NFL playoffs well enough. What do you want to talk about? I think we've done, we've got former Olympic sprinter. You got to keep it moving, damage check, damage check. When he hit you with the Northcott, you just let it go and keep it moving. You can't break character. You just have to, you have to keep it moving. You don't tell me. Get him out of here. All right, just get him out of here. He tried. No, he said he's not, he's just not giving me the timing I need today. And you need to get him out of here because he's haunting me and I don't want him around. I called him.
I called him last week a yammering knob. Well, he's a yammering. I love him. I think I'm just going to sit here and take that. I mean, I will. Lewis won't take him away. I keep telling Lewis, get him out of here. I can't physically get him away. It's Dostopenga. What? What? What? What do we have to do? That's true, for sure. Really? Lewis? Lewis? Really? Lewis? Damn it. Damn it. You realize how bad you are at this damage act that it would be so obvious that everyone here would be really a bingo joke. There it is. That clearly had to be known. You know, it's here. Lewis is writing when it comes to other people. Megusta Luis. Megusta Luis. All right, please leave the premises. Thank you, damage. Football America's name and the podcast. And the people who enjoy the network that we
are building, David Samson. I don't know how it is that he is still working the way that he is because of what it is that he's going through, but nothing personal. Pobletory finds out. And damage. Football America, they are fun different shows. And so I urge you today to support the one that he's doing in record numbers so that Damacek's following can continue to grow. But please get him out of here. Like, like, remove him from my thought. Dostowen. Here we go, Steelers. Here we go, loser. I'll get out of here. Tony, can you just help me like spiritually? How do I manage Damacek who is an uncontrollable scourge? Uh, I, I, whether it's garlic breath or just yammering knob, you can't get him to shut up. You can't, but sometimes he's got good stuff to say. So like, you want to keep around just in case he's got a gem in there, but then he gives you like three minutes of penguin stalking. You're like, oh, I smile. I love when Damacek joins. The problem is what Tony's saying, though,
he doesn't have judgment about what's interesting. So he thinks everything he's saying is interesting and 10% of it is. Right. And then you get that 10%. You're like, oh, that was good. But he doesn't know which is the 10% and which is the 90%. He doesn't know the difference. It's the problem. He's got a judgment problem. You guys don't get it. And you do. I do. I get Damacek and I love him. What are you getting? Just that he's, he's doing, like, it's just his stick, man. Yes, he's going to ramble, but it's just great. I love it. What's the best when like you're, when you say something to him and it's like, I'm the dammit, dammit. It's like going down a water slide. It's in turns. And wow.

It's more like space mountain. I was just over there over the weekend. Yeah. Over the week with my daughter for the first time. She wasn't on space mountain. I was. But you forget how dark it is. 20, 20 mgs. No, no, no. Stone cold. Like Steve Austin, baby. So you're there on space mountain. But the thing is it's dark. It's in the dark. So you can't see shit. It's the worst ride ever. So you're there. You're like, oh my god. Overrated ride ever. Overrated. No way. I don't like it. I want to see what I'm doing. No, I like the uncertainty. You know, it's just under mountain, but dark. Same track. But they'll exactly the same way. I don't know if that's true. Just got to someone who's not sure if that's true. First of all, when you go down the call, please set Lebatard show or space mountain and Thunder Mountain. Exactly the same thing designed except for a space mountain is just in the dark. Doesn't space mountain do loops? I didn't think what Jeremy was saying was accurate. He did. He seemed to think that he what he was saying was accurate. And once he did that, I'm assuming he knows because he has he seriously googling right now. I definitely think Google AI
answers the question. No, space mountain and big Thunder Mountain are not the same. Google AI. They're distinct Disney rollercoasters with different themes and experiencing the both are offering through links with multiple tracks in some locations. Jeremy, why would you feel the need to give misinformation like that as the world person that you are where you just came out confidently with something that I'm trying to move to the other side of the vent diagram. There you go. That's it. He wants to be on the cool side down. The issue is that if he gives that viewing nonsense, if you want to give that take, he's got to double down and completely own the take, right? If you say, hey, space mountain and Thunder Mountain are exactly the same, you got to own that thing to you, die. I mean, like, I did all of the tracks on Thunder Mountain. I have all the tracks on space. It does say that there are some track similarities, but they are not the same. Yeah, but I would say they are the same and then double down. That's how you get to the other side. Yeah. And I tell you to look it up. I don't look it up. Exactly. I don't even need to look it up. I did it. How about that? I did it. It's rare around here, though, that anyone says something with conviction and then five people look at them and say, that's not right in any way. They don't know.
Well, yeah, that's kind of Disney every summer for the last 30 years. Okay. Now you lost it. Well, but no, it's true. So you gave us your bonafide. You're building it. There we go. I mean, what I would like to know because I believe in the most wonderful way possible that our show over the next week is going to be an obnoxious embarrassment of being whatever it is. Miami was 20 years ago and what it was 10 years before that. So I cannot talk enough about this football game last night because of how funny the entirety of it is because it was one like the business of all this over the last five years. Pandemic spending Lane Kiffin's worth this. Cristobal's worth this. Who can get the who can run who can run around the inner cities and round up the best guys to be tougher than the best guys in the SEC because we're doing this quite as it's kept really cheap because the payrolls are only 20 million dollars, only 20 million dollars. When that's what it costs to be Ohio State, that's what it costs
to be Miami. You tell me Lane Kiffin is super important. So no evidence of it yesterday. The team that was better, the team that looked the best coach was the one that was totally overmatched and still in the game because it wasn't making penalties and it wasn't throwing the ball when it clearly should be running the ball. When Mississippi realized, when Ole Miss realized they couldn't run the ball anymore, which they realized when they had 74 yards rushing and all of it was on one run. They said, okay, we're not going to run the ball anymore and our running backs out with the hamstring. The team that was better coached yesterday lost and barely because they were totally overmatched and had no business being in that football game. I will say this, Golding is going to be a very good coach in college football. What he did to rally the troops and get those guys focused and playing good football, I was really surprised by Golding. I was like, man, this guy gets it. They showed his background of playing D2 and then going here and then going there and going Alabama coming back and it's like, this guy gets it. So I'm excited to see what he Golding is. Why are you giving Ole Miss better coached yesterday just because of the
mislegged penalties? No, I'm just saying if the way that we do this, just the way that we do it, right? It's not just the penalties, right? If I, that was a disaster football game that might have played the opposite. No penalties, I just don't know if that's coached. No, but so Chris, let's start here. Whatever it is the discipline resides on how it is that you measure, all of these guys study all week at like military complexes to not fall stark twice because the game plan is this week. Here's the advantages we have going in guys. Ole Miss, they're not as big as us. We're going to grind them to dust with Fletcher. It's going to be really easy. It's second and three all game. Just don't make mistakes. Don't make mistakes. More penalties in one game than they had in the previous three combined when you need to be disciplined this time of year. Mississippi can't convert a third down. Overwhelmed in every way physically along the offensive and defensive line, but somehow still has four sacks even though she shouldn't have any. Beck's playing a different game than most quarterbacks. He just sits back there with the ball. He just sits back there and he's got plenty of time. The sacks he took is because he's holding
the ball too long. Everything is scheme to have Beck have success in that game and Beck did good game managing and then bailed out the entire coaching staff and the entire city on that last drive because Miami overwhelmingly physically superior the entire game now had a tired team and defense that had 90 plays run on it and yet still with 18 seconds left who goes right down the field and is throwing into your end zone. It ain't the poorly coached team right. It was it was terrifying with those 18 seconds left on the clock as you were looking to be like it can't happen like this. It can it cannot end like this where they go down the field and 18 seconds no time outs. They had one they had one time out I think and but that last drive offensively was pretty perfectly executed by Miami. There were several drives earlier in the game where it felt like the the play calling was like out of nowhere. It was like they're dominating. They're running the ball for seven eight yards. It was crazy. A flea flicker. What do you do? Why are you come out out of nowhere? A third and four with the 20 year Monday morning quarterback. That flea flicker
worked in the moment. It was his play. Why would you go out of there? It was an intentional ground. You've been running the shit out of the ball. They were just dominated. It just felt like they could have won by a lot more. I actually did find myself like rooting for Miami last night and I was sitting there going like what in the world is going on? You're why are you not just running the ball down their throw. Exactly right Jeremy. ETR established a run. He's getting close on our side. Chris it's usually pretty rare that you're watching a football game at college football and you're like oh this team's just better than this one just physically better. It's because time of possession you're just watching it's second it can be second and three all game if you just don't do holding and you just don't do. Oh no. There was like Miami shot themselves in the foot so many times in that game. I'm not I just am like what we're doing here of like whether that's coaching or not. Chris. That's the part. All right let's just do it this way. Any game throughout sports in football you've ever seen the entirety of your life because McDermott's going to lose his job here in a second. It's going to be over 13 seconds. Any game in your life you've seen the entirety of your life. Beck scores that touchdown unless you return the kick for a touchdown. You're not throwing into the end zone of the game from 20 yards away because you allowed the other
team to get down the field in 18 seconds and you had to call timeout because your entire secondary doesn't know what it's doing but you have to call timeout precious timeout because you got to make sure hey guys don't give them another seven yards here because they're just going to get even closer and like what you saw at the end of that game last night was an apocalypse of defensive coaching an apocalypse that if they'd lost that game any coach in America would have been run out of town for allowing Trinidad Chandler's to go with one time out 18 seconds the length of the field and throw into your end zone and get a plausible pass interference call and now they win the game one yard running in from the end zone because you couldn't stop them in 18 seconds. How many more ways would you like me to prove to you that Mississippi was better coached yesterday because that example alone at the end of a game is enough to get coaches fired. I mean I'm with you like you get blamed when bad results happen the coaches get blamed you know I think there is a debate to have on whether the coaches are actually blamed for that or whether it's just bad. Why do you
think you why do you think Chris ball wasn't accepting those hugs he knew that were 18 seconds left. No I'm with you there's a weird game so we're not getting crystal ball again maybe I would take the under it's asking get him. I do like the premise of us pitching him like we will kick like Dan will be in the like in the penalty talk. Tony will do not allow the talk it'll be Mike let's get him in Doza. This is what I want to do I want if they win the national championship because obviously they lose he's not gonna play along but if they win I want Dan in like some sort of clown outfit and crystal ball hurling pies at his face or in a dunk tank one or the two and maybe a dunk tank and then instead of hitting baskets like we did in Milwaukee we got you got to hit a football you got to throw a spiral and hit the thing ding and drop Dan into the thing you got to be dressed bring the whole team out we'll bring the whole team out the Carson Malik Malaki Malaki all of them. Yeah but you say that and it is it is something that I actually am going to put under consideration here if if there is a way to allow Mario crystal ball to embarrass me because he's never respected
the court jester critic that I am while he was headed toward this game of insanity last night I'm in a local park and I'm riding around on my bicycle and what I don't know I saw a mean laugh earlier about this because you guys were making fun of which parts of of this because this was actually I was my own stunt man here and I had no help this all happened. I wish we had another shot of you doing this. Well this is the story okay so this is the story I'm about to tell you though because the funnier part of what happened here that I wish had been on camera that I turned the camera off for here well let's are we just going to end up playing this. I will tell the audio audience that the punch line is me falling off of the bicycle and and retrieving it with blood on my face. I want to give you guys some predictions and some videos of the course of the evening. Whoa I'm in traffic now and in dangerous place and Valerie might have been right
and whoa that was a little closer than I would have liked it to admit actually. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Cains, Mike, 10. Uh so there's a lot of there's a there's a lot of blood on my forehead when. And the canes didn't cover. And right one other canes didn't cover. They covered, they didn't cover over his. They did cover, but they didn't cover by 10. But so, yeah. So what happened funny after that is I'm laying in a park on my stomach. Mario Cristobal is about to play one of the biggest games ever played in Miami and bringing back Miami pride. And I'm in a local park with catch up on my forehead because I've been riding a bike with the phone in one hand and napkin full of catch up in the other. And as I'm doing that part and
this is really free behind the video. Not hands free, but I've got, but, but, but not really using the brakes, the hand brakes and just sort of, you know, riding my bike with my hands on the corners. I, as I'm crawling around on the ground, a man rushes over right after I've turned that off and says, are you okay? And so I'm looking up from grass. And I'm like, yeah, yeah, I was just fooling you. I'm an actor. Yeah, I'm just, but I'm on my hands and knees with catch up on my hands and hands on my forehead. And I'm doing it for the gram. You should have said, you ruined the shot.
