1:02Four or two of the big city down on a Roosevelt with the little seven o'clock jets. Home opener is coming up on Sunday at one o'clock against the Green Bay Packers and on the call with Bob was shoes in his Anthony Beck. And he's always a fun listen and always good to talk to him here on a football Friday. Roosevelt, how are you, sir? Don what's up? It's great that my old kept my old partner in crime, man. It's good to be back on here. Your voice, brother. I said before I miss you, man. And he always come on with us during the preimposed and you know, but I would ask wacky questions. And now you get a chance to call the games and you did a great job coaching as well. I mean, is calling games as much fun as coaching and playing? Yeah, I love coaching right now. You know, I've been fortunate to have success over the last four years in the U.F.L. And you know, started new franchise last year in Orlando when I was in St. Louis for the first three. So it's been great. I mean, calling games is good too. It keeps me around the game. I mean, hell, people don't want to watch preseason games when I do the TV games with I and Eagle, man, that's my super bowl.

2:03I get to see players that I'm probably going to look to draft, right? So it's really fun. It's great. It's great to be a part of it as a coach, but also as a tight end. What did you think when Reich put out the five tight end, I formation in that third quarter? Well, I started squinting and I started counting. I'm like, hold on here. It's not 13 personnel. It's not even, I don't even see it back. Hell, I said it was, I said it was 14 because Beck usually is like a full back, right? So I was like, I'm going to count him. But it's like, is this really what we're going to call it? Zero, five personnel, but it's really unbelievable. I mean, they're all usable by, they all have a purpose where they create a matchup problem. And you know, you're not going to see a ton of it. You may not see it again for three games, but 13 personnel, like, you know, hell, the Packers ran just as many 13 personnel packages as the jets. That's a trend, you know, McVeigh started hitting that a couple of like two years ago, and teams have started to see like how that's evolutionizing and making the matchups and stuff like that. So yeah, listen, I was definitely shocked for a guy that loved the tight end position for

3:05Zor. I was just having a conversation during the break guys with no less than authority than my dear friend Mark Ballard, who is a big, big green Bay Packers fan. And Anthony, his concern as a Packers fan is the state of that line and thinks that in spite of the fact that love was able to end up putting up numbers last week, they really have problems there. Is that a place you think the jets can exploit? Yeah, you know, I think so. A lot of people are crushing their line. I mean, you know, they have a quarterback that has to orchestrate a lot of protections when I watch the film. I see a lot of putting back certain places, changing things up, trying to get where they want to slide it to. Of course, they got beat a couple of times. It's always tough when you got 78 guys in the box, who's dropping, who's staying? Are they all coming if they are? Where's the quarterback? So I felt like the offensive line didn't do great. I didn't feel like love was really good on his plan on how he attacked. And now he did complete some of them footballs because you should have really good strikes,

4:06especially when I think they loaded up in that package where there's seven or eight guys about 10 times in the game. So you think like, wow, they're doing that 10 times in the game and you got a quarterback like love and some of the off areas where you can throw the ball. I mean, he had a ton of yards, but he was a 50 percent passer. I felt like he struggled when they actually dropped out of that. And I think that may be what the jets do defensively. They may sugar and show and then they call like their simulated blitzes where they look like they're bringing six or seven or maybe eight, but they only bring four and they drop. And that causes confusion too because you think about the quarterback. Well, this space is going to be open and all of a sudden you got guys kind of in that area. You guys remember Aaron Rogers versus the Vikings when they did that similar and Aaron had a tough time. He threw it to an inner pick six and and different things. So yeah, they all come. It's difficult, but you can have home run hits. But if they don't come and they drop out, now they're in the holes where you think they're not going to be. We'll see how the defense plays it, but they got really good pass rushers.

5:07They don't have to bring more than four at time. I'm speaking for the jet at least up on the saw last week. And then on the offensive side of the ball, without Parsons, they're 0 and 5. The Packers allowing nearly 30 points of game. But how much will the weather really affect what the jets can do offensively? I think it's got to be a leg up for the jets, right? There's no, there's no Jacob's right. So they're they're run game struggle. I mean, there are past first. They really couldn't get that thing going at all on the ground. Had a few runs, but you're right. I just, you know, I just feel like if the weather is a problem, you know, I feel like that, that definitely elevates the way that they can maybe manage a drive and control drives versus maybe with the Packers lean on. I will say this though, like if Jordan Love has time, right, he's going to, he will carve you off. He's one of those guys. And you know, can do the same thing as well, but he is not afraid. I mean, he may play versus the pressure, but like he's a guy with golden and they got craft the tight end and Watson. These guys, if they catch the ball, like he throws a nice ball, it's going to be there

6:09for them to make those plays. The offensive line, I got a lot of love as it well deserved. Normally when you talk about an offensive line, it's not always, it's like you don't notice when they're good. You only notice when they're bad. But in this case, they were getting a lot of credit as they certainly deserved. And it feels like with with Gino Smith, that this point of his career, what we saw in Seattle versus what we saw in Vegas, I kept wondering was it just because the Raider's offensive line was really bad and he just was constantly under pressure. And it just seems like he was very comfortable with that line around him. Did you see it that way? Well, he should be. I mean, it's a lot better than what he had in Vegas. That's for sure. You know, you have a real offensive coordinator that has a really good plan put in place. You got a good online coach. You know, what I would say is what I saw from the offensive line is the most important things. They came off the football and asserted their will and really got great push, initial push on that front four. And that's not, you know, those two guys inside Simmons are really good players and they

7:10cause problems. I will say this if I'm sitting there as an offensive line coach or coach and I'm looking at a film and say, hey, guys, listen, if we're a little bit more sticky, which I means like, hey, can we hold the block a little longer? Can we not have guys come off? Because you saw the backs did a phenomenal job. Both of them. Breeze and Alan really like spinning out of some things, making some extra yards like they were phenomenal the way they ran the ball. And I think it's only an upside because once they get better and and and excel in those things, the backs now have that get into the second level. That's where Breeze is a problem. Like these guys get through the first level, which are able to do multiple times. But I think there's going to be a little bit more of bigger runs as the season goes on. But yeah, the offensive line deserves a credit. It's very difficult. It's hard to play that position. They got five really good players up front. And for the most part, what I saw, they really were good. If I have to critique them, hey, man, let's be a little more sticky on what we're doing. If they do that, guys, with the push they got, it's going to be fun to watch this season. Now if they, let's play the Jets play a great game, they get to 2-0.

8:12At that point, where do you think your expectations would lie for this football team this season? Yeah, I think I would, kind of as a fans perspective, right? You don't like, they're 2-0. What is it going to be? Week to week? I just truly believe, guys, that they're not far away from whatever Ashowan and the league were pegging as the good team. But they got to do it consistently. They got to execute. You can't have somebody drop 40 on you, week six randomly, like, what's going on? Those are the things that maybe are edge in the memories of fans over the years, or something happens. If they stay healthy, to me, with Frank Rake, up in the box, guys, to me, that's a cheat code. I don't know. I've been seeing this meme of his eyes. I think that's hilarious because for a guy to be up there and see the field, his perspective, I'm calling a game. I love that visual for me. I see everything. A guy like that who's always called plays on the field, and he's got four coaches next to him, feeding them all different kinds of things. If you just get where you need to be, stay ahead of the sticks and do what you want to

9:14do, man, the plays are going to be there. We're going to have real offensive plays, series to series, quarterbacks going to have a real understanding of where the ball is supposed to be, and where is it getting checked down to. Those are the two things to me that just separate this team offensively, and ultimately to me, to help them be better than what they've been in the past. I do have a little bit higher expectation because I do believe they have talented players enough to be in every game in the fourth quarter. Now they've got to figure out, hey, do they mentally have to name-win it? Do they believe they can do it in those quarters and say, you know what, we're not the same team. We're different. You've got a lot of new pieces which are great. Those guys don't know that. Jeff fans do, but those guys don't really know that. I love Aaron Cohn plays. It's very hard to manage a football game. I don't want to call plays. When I'm managing a game, I'm thinking about scoring, I'm thinking about series drives, things that happened before. All those things are going in my mind, but I just feel like when I watch Aaron, he's just more in tune to the game. That's the fact that he's called defensive plays and has his eyes on the offense.

10:16To me, I think situationally, he'll be fine. So far, so good. I think that little half thing, I was probably more the quarterback. I shouldn't have checked it down in that moment. They would have had some more time. But I just feel like I'm willing to see that growth. I just, I love Aaron Cohn. I would rather have it on me. I pick my players on my team. I'm picking them. If they ain't the guys, then it's on me. I think Aaron's in that scene. Well, this is going to be on me if the defense doesn't get it done so far. They did a great job in the first week. Talking to Anthony Beck, former tie-down for the Jets now doing radio second year with his partner, Bob, with Shuson. Jets 1 and 0. They'll be taking on the Packers at 1 o'clock coming up on Sunday. It's easy to say it's different because they're 1 and 0. And there's a different offensive coordinator. And as you said, now Glenn calling plays on defense. He didn't do that last year. But did you see a difference in Glenn being around him during training camp, being around him in preparation for Tennessee? Do you notice the difference in Aaron Glenn from year to year? I think it started in the off season, guys. And he was pretty adamant about it.

11:18The guy took a step back and was self-aware and said, you know what? This coach, this coach, this player, this player, this player wasn't good enough. And whether I bought this guy in or whatever it may be, they sat down there and they made the changes and they made a year one. I mean, I think there's 16 new coaches on the staff. That's kind of unprecedented when you think about. There's a lot of new guys in particular with the two coordinators as well making that change. So there's a lot there. And I think the other thing is, you know, you talk about the physicality and practices and how they did things maybe in Detroit, right? We watch that hard knocks and they just, you know, it was like a full-go session every day on those videos. And then last year was pretty intense. He looked like he took a step back and I'm like, how do I maximize player health? How do I keep him fresher? How do I get him literally a little bit more like loving the fact that they want to get out there and play on Sundays and how do I get through him through a week? So again, you're right. It's one week. But I think for him, it's like that he's changed multiple ways that I've seen, you know, and outside maybe the way he talks to the media and things of that, you guys, that's

12:18your end of the spectrum. But I just think from a football standpoint, man, he's like, hey, how do I get players to play better for me? How do I get people in the building that can play better for me and help the organization win? And I think they do have some pieces in the right places, guys, to do that. But they ultimately have to go out there and execute every week and that's something consistently we haven't seen, you know, in the last decade, right? So we have to see that every week and I think it's, you should be temperately excited about it. But again, they do have enough players if you stay healthy, you know, to be competitive every single week and that's big for fans. I think that's what fans want. Man, Anthony, there's no such thing as tempered anything with a jet fan. You probably know. You're in the right attitude here. You're in the right attitude here. You know, I'm trying to describe it. I've been trying all day. It's fun to watch. I'll just tell you this right now, like the offense last year, what I had to watch and call, like to see just in one game, you know, like, and really the one drive and preseason, like I can see like, like, this is, this is better. I like what I'm saying.

13:19And we got to see it every week, but it's going to be pretty good. Like there's going to be guys open. You're going to see, you're not, I always felt like we always saw like 50, 50 balls, like guys are going to be like, we have to catch balls in areas and spaces and it's going to look like maybe we, we see the chiefs or whoever we think the offense is great on. Like that's what it should look like. And you got really good backs as well. So, you know, again, I'm excited to see how this thing looks throughout the week. And listen, man, you know, maybe before the season started, yeah, you're not beaten Green Bay, but you turn the tape on. That's right. Man, like, I don't know if you feel, Green Bay feels really excited about what they saw the jets put on film. I know. I think that's exactly right. It's a totally different situation as we sit here in mid September than when we talked about this game in mid or early August. What other storylines right now NFL wide have you very excited about this season? I think the number one thing is guys like we all just, people just expect the normal teams to be the best. Like everybody's watched the bills now for two weeks and everybody thinks like, okay,

14:19I just feel like let's, let's, this thing's got to play out. I just think there's more parity than ever guys and people say that every year. I just think man, like any given Sunday, you're asking get beat. And that's what I love about it. So that gives teams like the jets or even the Titans. Well, I don't know how bad the Titans are. Like that was as bad as I've seen a team play, but man, it's got to get better. Right? You would think I don't know. We'll see, but at least competitively. So I think that's what gives you kind of every fan base in the, in the world, really, as they watch their team is like, hey, we don't know we have, you know, what's it? What's it going to look like? Like you could be, you know, five and seven and still in the playoff mix, you know, when that time comes. So I just think it's going to be that kind of tight look throughout the NFL. And I think that's great because it gives your team a chance every single week. Anthony, you played in an era where there were four preseason games you had two of days. I would think that you were pretty well conditioned going into the month of September. And now nobody plays in the preseason.

15:19There's only three of them. If you had the kind of camp that they have today, how long would it take you to be physically ready for the regular season? Yeah, I do think that's a challenge. That's the tricky part. Like how do you get tackling in and be good at tackling? I think we saw this week the scoring was, you know, probably a lot higher than people normally would think. And defense is usually a little bit higher early in the season. I don't think as many teams did join practices as much, even though they utilize that as their main deals, you know, the jets didn't do. I think they did two last year. I only did one versus the buck. So you're right. You're going to go through some growing things. I think with that, that's always going to be, I don't think anybody's just going to tackle great. But man, like there's a lot of ways to prepare yourself to be good at that. And that's where the coaching and the way you practice and the drills that you do matter. And I think just speaking from Aaron Glenn's perspective and how I've seen him operate and what he's been talking about, he's changed a lot of things to try to get his team better even though maybe they're not doing as much as that.

16:21So it looked really good to me from attacking standpoint from the defense. They looked fresh. They looked fast. You know, they, they're secondary or really good tacklers like Brownlee and, and, and belt. These guys like they want to tackle like that. And that's great because that's going to be big for him. But, you know, you know, Davis, I mean, not gosh. I mean, he looked like he was 25 years old when I run inside line to sideline. I don't know how he does it. I mean, it's a gift. I mean, because to play 15 years and what he does every single snap, it's, it's just amazing. But I do think, you know, offenses may be shining a little bit early, but those defenses will, will catch up. And, and again, it'll, it'll be a lot more closer games, obviously with the NFL as you get into those fourth quarters. Now it's, it's coaching, it's situational awareness and it's, it's those last couple drives like that's where you got to make the difference. And that's something we have to see as well from the Jets, Jetside as well. Yeah, on that point, your impressions of David Bailey and his, in his debut in the NFL, what, what do you think about what I expected?

17:21I mean, you know, he played whatever snaps you play, what it was a 23 or 20 or so. I'm not, I don't have it in front of me right now. But, you know, listen, the guy gives effort every single play. You know, he will be, he'll grow to be a problem. He's going to have to go through a, you know, a long season and go through those deals. But, you know, to me, I feel like you can get in between that seven and a half, 10 stacks, you know, because he's not going to be utilized every single down in distance. They're going to have some really cool packs. I think, you know, I don't know if anybody's talked about like, you know, there's a package where you got four defensive ends in there. They call it NASCAR. They're, it's just meaning more faster guys trying to go and attack. They did that. I think once, once or twice in the football game, you're going to have like really good pass saucers in there at any given time. So they have depth. They can be fresher guys. I just think that helps David. He doesn't have to have the onus of his, of the back pack of, hey, I got to get all the sacks because they got dudes that can do it, right? McDonald, I mean, these guys are going to be fresher. They're going to be faster, right? And especially early in the season, conditioning wise, like that should pay off for the jets.

18:22And he did. I felt like the rush in general, like across the board, it looked fast, it looked good, and they rotated some guy. They got a good, too deep going when you're talking about a hot day, when you got lime in that, have to play every single snap. Those things start showing up on film site. I kind of like what he did and he's only going to get better. Now, it's just crazy. Like the jets have not, it's not, talent's not in the problem, Anthony. There's been talent on this team for a few years. Just can they find the coach and can they find the quarterback? The hope is that Glenn can be the coach. But how do they get the quarterback? Even if you know, plays well, we know he's not the future. So how much you conscious of that as the jets organization tries to build, tries to, to win games and then also realize that the biggest piece is still not there. Yeah, well, they don't care about that now because they want Geno to max out and be as great as he can be. But don't get a twist. Darren's watching 10 or 11 quarterbacks every single week in college. So that's happening and that's going to be a big discussion.

19:24And they're going to have to make, they're going to have an excellent opportunity to get exactly who they want, regardless of wherever their draft spot is. And I think there's a lot of stories that need to be told about some of these quarterbacks that everybody's self-proclaiming that they really love. I watch a lot of college ball. I know that position. Obviously guys, you know, really well the quarterback position in college. And I just think when that thing pans out, that'll be a different thing. But when that time comes, but I just think at this point, like Geno gives you enough to be dangerous, competitive, have a good offense, can strike, to make all the throws. Is it going to have turnovers? Is he going to make something absolutely? But I'll tell you what guys, you watched the jets last year. You were hoping Justin Field threw a damn pick because you never took any chances, right? So that's the one thing I think Geno is going to do is like he's not going to be shying away from that. And I kind of made a little bit of a bold prediction. I mean, you only have to average 59 yards of game as a receiver to have a thousand. There's no reason why Mitchell and both Garrett Wilson both can't have a thousand. It'll be close, I think, if they stay healthy. But I think they're both fast enough and good enough to be that, which we're saying that. That I didn't have since my deckers, Marshall, but it can be done.

20:26I mean, they're already ahead of it. They both they both add over that in this game. And they both have the ability to get separation, which you got to have that guys. If you don't have that, you got no shot. Well, Anthony, you're killing it as a coach or killing it as an analyst. And you just love in life. I'm happy for you, man. Yeah, you guys are awesome. I appreciate you having me. That's it. I'll be back. You can hear him on the radio side with Bob was shoes in every week on Jets football. And he's just a great guy. I'm really happy for him, man. I know he loves coaching and he's doing great job as an analyst. And he certainly knows his football and he knows his jets. It's a football Friday, gentlemen. Yes.

Did you or someone you know participate in fraudulent fan behavior? I'm a fraud with a capital F. Is your friend a fraud? I have been a complete and utter fraud. Are you a fraud? What is fraud?

23:30Let's ask Tom McCrecker. Screw. Go scratch yourself. Brought to you by Dagestino Law. Ah, the fraud alert Friday folks brought you by Dagestino. Dagestino. Oh, my bad. Thank you. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome, welcome, welcome. I don't know what happened in the last week. But the inbox went crazy. Oh, that's because of me. What'd you do? I said listen to the tweet. Yeah. It had to be done. You know, social media. It's gone. I don't know if the view is it had to be done as much as it should be. Why have we not been doing it previously? There you go. But either way, good job by you to do it. I'm sitting here every week. Oh, I'm out of emails. Ah, emails. Yeah, social is a good thought. But that good job, buddy. All right, here we go. To the honorable chief justice, LaGrec.

24:32This question isn't a fan fraud question, but fandom of jays. My wife and I traveled to Nashville last weekend for the Jets game. Sure. Maybe an Asmaniac. Or an Asmatic. The key fact here is that our anniversary was August 9th. And earlier this summer, I'd suggested we do a weekend trip without the kids. We had talked about Nashville before. And I said, I know a perfect weekend we could go and combine it with the Jets game. To her credit, she told me to buy whatever seats I wanted and even agree to wear Jets gear for the game. I have to acknowledge she was a champ sitting out 100 degree temperatures. While I was getting excited for every positive play and doing the JETS, JETS cheer whenever someone started it. OK. Throughout the weekend, I told people that were there for an aversion, that we were there for an aversion. Every time I did this, my wife rolled her eyes and said it was my football trip. At the end of the game, I told my wife happy anniversary and asked her if there could have been a better way to celebrate it, again receiving an eye roll. Did I go too far trying to get away with treating this like an anniversary trip for my

25:33wife? Should I just be grateful she put herself through the experience and didn't leave me at the stadium? Is this husband a fraud? Respectfully, Eric and Virginia. All right. Oh, is he a fraud? What a bad guy, too. Oh, no. Her gift to you was, all right, let's just go football, right? And then she's got to sit in it and watch it. Interfilled. And then you have the audacity to play it off it that it was spill an anniversary trip. Oh, come on. Aniversary supposed to be 50, 50, not 99.9. Oh, my God. And a happy anniversary. She is an absolute gem. And I'm going to go out on the limit and say, you don't deserve her. My recommendation to her is find someone else. Oh, wait a minute. I love this take from Don. That's strong. That's not straight. You know what? It's strong and it needs to be strong. This woman sacrificed her anniversary to go to Nashville, sitting her own bill if it's 100 degrees, watching you be a yo-yo.

26:35And then you have the audacity to turn around and say happy anniversary. That's what we don't know. That's it's tough. After the game. Did he take her out? Did he show her a good time? Doesn't say. Don't you think? You know what? He can sound like hair. Doesn't sound like it. That little hotel. Oh, yeah, that's probably her. Oh, boy. Oh, yeah. We'll go back to the hotel. How do you celebrate the anniversary? I'm sure she's really looking forward to that too. After you're freaking 100 degrees from watching the game. Alan, real quick. Wouldn't even include it any of the things he didn't say to that. So obviously he didn't do anything. He is an animal that does not deserve a woman. Never mind this one. He's trying to get her by her hair to Nashville. Yep. He said he's like, he said, he said, sit there. I'm going to go watch football. And then when the game was over, drag your back to New York. Yep. Is that what he did? We have our first ever. We have our first ever caveman from. Never, never heard of it. Never seen it. And it was the thing. He just heard it. We've just seen it. I got to tell you.

27:36It's it's and I'm going to add I want to add to this. What makes him a terrible guy is. All he had to do. And he could still actually maybe try to do this. Is like surprise her with another night. And be like, hey babe, this is our real anniversary celebration. Thank you so much for Nashville. Well, that would be the right thing. That would be the thing. That wasn't an anniversary trip. I don't know. Her hanging out with the Asmaniacs. What do you have gone down on? Sorry. That would be one way to help the anniversary. I have. There was more. Oh, sorry. Go ahead. Hopefully she did. Big fan. Hey, you got to hold you guys down. No, it's it's like you go down. Yeah. Saturday. And you take her out on Saturday. You make it all about her because the next day is going to be all about me and what I want. So you that that's the right thing to do. Yeah. Now, none of it's included in the. Oh, I'm disgusted. Yeah, it's bad. It's a bad job. But a great way to start this Fartleurt Friday. We keep it going here. Let's see.

28:37You've spoken my name many times on the fraudulence of fans who do not watch when their teams are bad or making exit just to be traffic in the parking lot. In light of your comments, supporting fans who left before the end of the meds game on Monday to send a message to the team. I must ask you to clarify your position on this matter. As a Giants fan outside of the broadcast market, I must shell out cold hard cash for Sunday tickets to watch them every week. In 24 and 2025, I held off on purchasing the package until October. So I didn't literally pay harder and money in August for a terrible product and miserable Sundays through December anymore. My most effective way to assert my puny voice was to keep as much of my money out of the pocket the Giants ownership as possible until I see a halfway decent product in the field. The last two years, not only did I buy, did I not buy the package, but I boycott a Giants games. Even when they were on national or local TV, not on a laziness, not at a frustration with watching losing football, but as Seinfeld put it for spiked.

29:37In most situations, you would call Metz fans frauds for leaving a 2-1 game. But point on Tuesday really at home for me. So, fair judge, is the fans motive the biggest contributing factor when evaluating activity that might be on paper fraudulent? And Am I a fraud? Mike in Virginia also peter if I am declared fraud asked on if that means he is one himself. I am not a fraud and don't expect him to rule me as one, but his steadfast dedication to carrying the cross of misery has given me pause in the past. Very well written by a fraud. Oh, don't compare baseball to football. It's one of 162 games the game is over. It's done. And they were making a statement walking out because they wouldn't have gone anyway if it wasn't for Peter Lanzo. You're flat out not watching one of 17 games. And by the way, I know it was a rough few years for the Giants. And a lot of embarrassing things has happened, but their last Super Bowl still in my DVR. So, always me.

30:40It's not like you're a jet fan who hasn't seen anything in like 60 years and no playoff appearances for 15. Their last Super Bowl championship was in February of 2012. Okay? So, give me a break already. Stop it. You're a fraud. I'm going to call you a fraud. And I don't care what you think about it. How about that? And that the people that walked out of city field were frauds. They were true fans. It's one of 62. But they still knew what the score was. You're flat out didn't watch because always me my team didn't make the playoffs for a few years. And they embarrassed me. Fraud. Freak fraud. How about that? Don't ever challenge me again, buddy. I make the rules not you. And if you don't like it, guess what? Go scratch. Go to YouTube. I expect to be. You do expect it wrong. Challenge me. I like when he gets very angry. He takes it very seriously. I'm like, you should just insert shots at dawn in these emails, even if they don't exist.

31:41Well, that would be fraud. It works, doesn't it? It works. This what the segment's about plagiarism fraud. Brian writes Peter is a fraud. Oh, no. There's no way any real Washington fan does not hate the giants after what LT and par cells did to him as a kid. Washington never beat LT. He went around Jacobi like a cone and has kept big Jake out of the hall of fame. Um, I don't know what you're referring to. I don't know when I refer to not hating the giants. Um, I don't hate them as much as the cowboys or the Eagles. But I certainly do not like the giants. I don't think anyone I just I try to be an unbiased person talking about it. Don, but have I shown any any fraud them and how I talk about the giant? I mean, I don't that this is this is difficult to rule on because I think when it comes to football, that's the one area where Peter is not a fraud.

32:45Thank you. I've never seen him express love for the giants nor nor I don't think he particularly hates them. I do. I do think the giants owned the commander slash redskins for a long time. Um, that's why I that that's the that's the team that I hate the least in the division because the giants have had success. But in that same period where we were quote unquote owned by the giants in that exact period is when we also want a couple of Super Bowl. So like, I don't know. Yeah, you got through it. I mean, it was okay. But you know, that you live in New York. And I think he is seen. And I don't want to put words in Peter's mouth. But of as far as from a fan base standpoint, the giant fans are gems compared to eagle and cowboy. That's right. That's right. That's exactly that has to be placed in the hopper as well. It's in the hopper. I would say it's in the hopper. That's what it is. So, it's in the hopper. There is a conversation that is worse to make a ruling. And I think this is obvious. I sense no fraud from. Oh, no. Now we're talking hockey and basketball. I'm in a different situation.

33:48From football. The one thing I'll always stand by Peter is his like a fraudulent. First football. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Judge. Alright. I'm here. out right. Angry. Yeah, he's got a rash going. I'm sorry. Yeah, a rash, you say. Yeah. Yeah. I don't even know what that means. Exactly. Look at him. Look at his face. How about this Ryan said wants to sanction judge LaGrecca. No, no, sanctioned. Big fan of the show and absolutely love this segment. It pains me to write this, but I need to call massive fraud, massive on the honorable Donald Marco Alloicious chocolate soft serve in your pants LaGrecca. This should be a hoot. Don, you are normally an excellent judge, excellent, excellent judge. But we cannot ignore the elephant in the room that you made a bet this past weekend. Lost the bet and did not act on the consequences of said bet. I made a bet myself. What are we doing here? Nothing. Your judge of fraud and you committed fraud.

34:50There has to be some sort of sanctioning not to rectify this fraudulent behavior. Zero. I would suggest that the court be sanctioned and Alan take over as fraud judge next Friday. Ever. This is a, this is a lapse in judgment. Oh my God. Dead hand. This is a lapse in judgment and your record is clean otherwise. But ultimately in action is still action and actions have consequences. You know, it's, it's, it's, it's, I was a point being made here. I couldn't agree more. It needs to be acknowledged. It wasn't a bet. I just thought it was, it was worse than a bet. It was a promise. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, you know what it was? It was a declaration. That's right. And a man made a declaration. I don't know. We let him off the hook, Peter. I'm not doing it. If anything works for us, but listen, it's fraud. You'll end there's no question. If you want to call me a fraud, I'm not even going to fight it. But I will say this. It's not the same as a bet because if I have a bet with Peter where the loser has to do something, if the loser doesn't do something,

35:55that that's, that's a lack of integrity between person to person because I would expect Peter to do it had he lost. That to me, that's, to me, that's what makes this worse. But, but that's fine. It's the lack of respect for yourself. That's the part that hurts. But you know what? I'm not doing it. This bad guy and I'm a fraud. But I'm not doing it. So I, I, I'm the mistake I made was even. And by the way, hold on. It's a double fraud. And it's a double fraud. Don't forget. Don't forget Alan. He wasted like 90 seconds to two minutes pretending this was about his daughter. Do you remember that? Before he then just caved to him? I don't even know what I'm saying. I'm just not doing it. He started out being like my, my, my daughter said, please dad. That was part of that father to be my father. Yeah. Did I did that I not eventually owned. No, he owned it. I was being performative. And then he just said, I meant, whoops, I'm not doing it. Unbelievable. But you know what? Believe it. Any happen. Oh, no. We have to hold him accountable in some way. I will think of, we'll think of something. May not be on the air, but there is some accountability.

36:56It does need to be exact. Get in the kangaroo court. Shlomo writes us and says greetings, Your Honor. I'm a Yankees, Nick's and Giants fan and always will be. However, I find them when I go, I find that when I go to random teams games, I root for the home team. parentheses, biggest rival I have rooted for is the Mets. An example is a few years back when Sanga got two under strikeouts, I joined in the ovation for him. I haven't rooted for a big rival or for a team to win. That'll impact my team. parentheses rooting for the heat to win a random game when Campbell Walker was the next point guard. If you know, you know, am I a fraud? I don't, I don't get the whole like cheering for Sanga because he got this 200 strike. I don't know. I'm gonna rule no fraud, but he's his rivals. He's itching. I need better. Well, the what the, if the worst example is him cheering that Sanga got his 200 strikeout. That's not bad.

38:00That there's worse things in the world. I would say what you're saying. He has early onset of fraud. Oh, yeah. I mean, I would see a doctor. Yeah. Fraud tendencies. He's he's he's definitely trending in that direction. Right. He's showing the show of humanity. I'm gonna show love. Yeah. I'm gonna say that right now, no, but I would get an exam. And ladies and gentlemen, that will do it for fraud.

41:09I didn't listen to anything you just said. Kick this show on demand whenever you want. Just subscribe to us whenever you get your podcasts. It's a football Friday on ESPN, New York brought to you by DraftKeyes. Lock Alex Monaco made his debut last Friday. What a debut it was. Got both locals right. He made an adjustment because he's got a big weekend. Apparently he's got a wedding. So he shifted from 5.30 to 4.45 and he joins us here on Don Han and Rosenberg. How are you buddy? What's up boys? Absolutely. Pleasure to be back with you. Almost hit the New York football trifecta. Didn't think Josh Allen would elevate 36 on the road, but here we are. I didn't know music wise also that Alex was a male stripper. But that was quite a theme song they brought you in with their buddy. So congrats on that too, dude. Did you hear that? That was either Magic Mike or Dirk Diggler. I don't know. That was something else.

42:09They must know I'm in a suit that fit me again because I'm sweating over here in Charlotte. But I swung by Bank of America, one of my picks here even though they're on the road this week. I feel good and I got something for Peter too for the commanders. He should feel good. Talk to me. Talk to me. Well, it's not one of my five, but there's an incredible bedding trend here. So in short, small road underdogs off a week one loss are 26 and 6 against the spread week two. It's a red it's 81 percent. Wait, say it one more time. So if you're off a week one loss and you're a small underdog in week two, you cover 26 and 6 against the spread. This is 2016 on. So last 10 years of football. And honestly, I don't know who's softer right now. The Lions defense of the Cowboys. I like a bounce back by Danny Quinn if I don't say so myself. Wow. I don't I don't. I'm obviously scared to touch it, but I like the commies to cover the number of Dallas.

43:11I do, but if it goes the wrong way, you know, it could get ugly. We'll take the over if you want to win or for that. I like that too. I mean, would you say before you get into your picks, would you say what we're trending at least week one? There's a lot of like take the over emotion and any time the bears or the bills are playing, are you almost thinking that way now because of what these offenses have looked like so far? It's tough, Alan. I mean, I got I got smoked last night. I went in the Lions den. It wasn't fun. Talk about being at a rehearsal dinner with five and a half on the screen trying to make small pocket. I look up and there are already down three scores before intermission. I don't know. I don't know if we can take the bill, fade the bill here anytime soon and kill their getting and land enough points in the division. But yeah, to your point, some of these offenses, you know, it's kind of in short not the Brady manning breeze air. These teams are not coming in week one but in depth. So to your point now on this very true, the overs would make more sense out the gate

44:13outside of these prime time spots. All right. What do you like locally? Well, are we ready for more suffering? Are we ready for the New York Jets to again shock the world? I told you all the only word about the hero optimism. I'm sorry. I mean, this Packer team with no pass rush and a maddened 77 at running back and dobs is in a different uniform and wicks is in a different it's watching Tucker craft and a team that's one in sticks last year, guys, as a road favorite. And with a G column plays and truly and a don't in the room at quarterback. I could go all day, but again, I joke, you know, a little word play here. The Packer's a nice guy friend that has no problem going up to a group of girls, but he cannot number close. I mean, their minus 53. Their minus 53 in the fourth quarter. What's the point of playing it if you can't close? How about this difference in guys? Here are some stats that Ballard sent over to me. I never hear him this down on his team.

45:13This is my good friend is a Packers fan and blogger. He wrote love faced 10 unblocked pressures on Sunday. According next gen stats, that is the most by any quarterback in five seasons. According to ESPN analytics, the Packers were dead last in past block. We enraged it 9%. The next worst was the Cardinals at 22%. They were just getting blown up. I think we got weather, right? We got a little bit of weather in that light. Oh, big time. Yeah, a lot of rain during the game. The jets. You got the asmaniac if I said that correctly. I said, why not happy birthday, Jake? I mean, the energy sensational. And I'm looking forward to another all-out performance. And I cannot wait for the Aaron Glenn return to Ford's field. That's seven and a half number. If you like the jets this weekend, oh, that's going under a touchdown on a early look ahead. I don't want to get too excited. Oh, boy. But I think we got two double. Did you win teams and down? I'm not kidding.

46:14Oh, my goodness. So locally, real quick, because the L'Alonga bet down. Harbaugh, just so we know, I'm taking the giants. I don't feel as good about the giants as I do the jets with the points. But Harbaugh, 15 and 8 against the spread on Monday night. And when he closes as an underdog, seven points or more, it's happened 17 times. He's 12 and five. It's the third best against the spread coach as an underdog in the Super Bowl era. That's who we got on our side with the seven points. I just think the way to the world on McVeigh and them, obviously they got a long time to prep. But I'm leaning giants with the points. I got the jets outright. On the money line. On the money line. And my biggest underdog, I'll be ready. I got a quick one for you. All right. Are we ready to go in to New England and take a Pittsburgh Steelers? We're good on the points, Vegas. I'll take them on the money line. On the money line. Do we realize this game happened last year?

47:16It was 21, 14, Pittsburgh. It was a five turn over New England day. Drake maze off a national Wednesday night. This guy was throwing three flies up balls. Hawk Garbage to Seattle defense. This is exactly the same recipe. And I got a 16 and 6 number for you. McCarthy and Aaron Rogers in their week one and two together in their career and Rogers. Oh, don't worry about extended arrests for Mike Frabel here. He's 14 and five against the spread versus teams on extended arrests in 2021. I personally think we're getting incredible value. And the line's already been bent down. Five and a half long gone. It's now four and a half. I really like the Pittsburgh Steelers gentlemen. A little bit emotional. But I think we got real questions about the New England Patriots. Wow. This guy's hot. Wow. Yeah, no, he's feeling it. 89 degrees in the sky. So I got no choice. Boys. Oh, man, you're the best. We will talk to you at your usual spot. 5 30 next week. Man, thanks a lot, man. Enjoy the wedding.

48:17Thank you, boys. That is Alex Monaco. He's shot out of a cannon like he always is. Yeah, he's good. That's why I like he puts it right on the table. He just drops your entire tape. OK, all right. Calm down. All right. So he likes he loves the jets. Yes, he likes the giants. Right. He's got and he's got the Steelers. He also likes the over in Washington. Watched his game with Dallas, but he also likes Dallas to cover the numbers. That was no, no, no, like Washington. Oh, he likes Washington to cover it. OK. Yeah, no, that's what he said. Well, because he, he, he, he, I got thrown off just because of the fact he talked about teams that lose that are a dog. So that's right to Washington. The dog on the road. They're a dog. They lost. They lost a close, this is a close spread. And he was putting all that together. And he feels good about the commies. All right. I like it. Jonathan Wilma. He's got the call on box for the jets and the packers with our buddy. Kenny Albert. John of the bill joins us next. Don on a Roosevelt take a little seven o'clock here on a football Friday
