Sam Darling has been phenomenal the entirety of the season. Listen, that wasn't on my bingo card. I'm just gonna be honest with you. I'm gonna be honest with you.
Advertiser 3
Oh, hell, it was. That was not my. Is he eligible for comeback later?
Advertiser 2
They give it to. Who else do they give it to? You? You have to because you're not expecting it. You've seen him be a starter in New York. You've seen him being started.
Advertiser 3
He is ineligible because he didn't come back from Ilder. Because after they gave it to Joe Flacco, people got upset. They're like, hold on. Joe didn't come back from nothing. He just came back off the damn couch.
Advertiser 2
Come on. I understand, but listen, I understand you got to move the goalpost a little bit when it comes to the word I'm looking for to the damn. What's the word anyway? Hey, Chat. Sam Donald deserves comeback player of the year. Whether he's coming back from an injury, whether he come back from playing bad. We've seen what he looked like when he was in Carolina. We've saw what he looked like when he's with the New York Jets. Yeah, the way playing. The way he played this year. Man, he's deserving of that award. I don't care what the prerequisites may be to win it. Man, forget that he deserve.
Advertiser 3
Cause you can't come back from playing bad. You just some sauce. You got to come back from an illness. You got to come back from a major injury, like Adrian Peterson, like Teddy Bruski, like Tom Brady, you know, you need. You got to come back.
Advertiser 2
Well, nobody. No, nobody's. Nobody's in contention to win that award because nobody's playing that damn well that's coming off of any type of injury or illness. So this year, we need to just give the award to goddamn Sam Darnold. Now, I don't know who I need to talk to. I don't know who soapbox I need to stand on and who I need to send a letter of recommendation to for Sam Donald, but I will do so.
Advertiser 3
I'm trying to think who's even eligible that I can think of off the top of my head as quarterback or running out.
Advertiser 2
And the fact that you have to think, let you know who needs to win it. There it is right there. I got a PP real quick.
Advertiser 3
Hell, if that's the case, what you call him gonna win it. Joe Burrow. I mean, Joe Burrow had torn ligaments in his wrist. So, I mean, if I had a vote, that's who I'm voting for because he is coming back off of something. Coming back because you, lack of a better term, suck. That ain't overcoming something. That's overcoming your own bad play. That's not an injury. That's not an illness. I think Joe Burrow will probably win that award considering he missed what, five, six games last year. And he's coming back and he's leading the league in touchdown passes, passes. He's leading the league and passing yardage. Yeah, it's for me. That's who I think would win it. I would definitely give it to him. Okay. Yeah. J.K. dobbins. Hell, he out again. So he might be eligible for next year. He might be elderly before next year, but I get why they doing it this way. Because Joe Burrow got it, and all he did was come off his couch. He didn't come off an injury or anything like that. And it's like, that's not what coming back from. Because that's the case. There are a lot of guys that's coming that. That suck one year and play really well the next year, but that's not what the award was intended for. Joe Burrow is going to win this award. You know that, right? Joe, you remember Joe? Bur Joe Burrow hurt his wrist last year and missed six games. Okay? Now, you still. You still think Sam Darnold shouldn't get that award?
Advertiser 2
Joe, don't try to put Joe in this. Don't try to put Joe in this conversation. If that's a conversation you want to have and you want to use Joe Burrow's name, it needs to be the MVP conversation, not no comeback player of the year we used to see play great.
Advertiser 3
Did Joe Burrow overcome an injury? Did he finish the season last year? It's a simple question. It's a simple yes or simple no. Did Joe Burrow finish the season for the Cincinnati Bengals last year? So therefore, he would have been a player that overcame injury or an illness. Now, what was the injury or the illness that Sam Donald overcame to make himself eligible for this award?
Advertiser 2
The illness is having to play for the jets organization.
Advertiser 3
He wasn't with the Jets. He was with the 49ers. He was a backup. Okay, let's try again.
Advertiser 2
The Panthers organization, then.
Advertiser 3
He wasn't on the panthers. That was two years ago. He was on the 49ers or the backup role. But, yeah, let's.
Advertiser 2
You know what the. Goddamn.
Advertiser 3
The.
Advertiser 2
The. The. The. The mental. I'm trying to think of a word to use. It helps. Sam. Sam out right here. And I can't think of an argument. I can't think of an argument.
Advertiser 3
Well, that lets you know. Right there. You got it. There you go. Okay, if there's an mip. If you want to say most improved player, but that's only in basketball. We don't have to do.
Advertiser 2
Listen, I'm trying to figure out an argument for him, but I can't right now. I can't.
Advertiser 3
Oh, you gonna figure out an argument for Sam Darnold over Joe Burn for comeback player?
Advertiser 2
Yeah, because I'm not. I don't. I don't. Listen, we're used to seeing Joe play great, you know, regardless. We're not saying, oh, all of a sudden he came back from injury. He knocked that motherfucker. Seeing him play like this. That's why.
Advertiser 3
But there's not the most improved. It's come back. Come back. In the definition of the bylaws, you must come back from an injury or an illness. You still haven't told me the injury or the illness that Sam Darnold overcame.
Advertiser 2
Well, shit, the illness is having to be a backup for some horrendous teams.
Advertiser 3
What, being a backup for the 49ers a bad job.
Advertiser 2
I say that, I'm just saying the two before that, the previous ones before.
Advertiser 3
That, you don't get. Wait a minute. So you want to jump. You want to jump two years, three years, listen and say, okay, he's still overcoming. You got to overcome.
Advertiser 2
That stuff takes a mental toll on you. That stuff takes a mental toll on you. Can, can you imagine, you know, the dysfunction you had to deal with back to back in two different places. Then all of a sudden you get the sunshine over in San Francisco where things are okay, but you don't get to see the field. You don't get to show them what you can do. You know, you.
Advertiser 3
Well, I get. I'm giving to Bryce Young then. How about that? Bryce Young won one game.
Advertiser 2
He looking good though. He looking good. We, we, we get, we get that in a minute. But that's a good, good argument.
Advertiser 3
I mean, you don't want to get, you don't want to give it over to Bright. Hold on, check this out. He won one game last year and he got benched during the season this year.
Advertiser 2
Damn. Hey, you know there's a chance, you know that I, I don't know there's a chance. But Sam, but Sam Donald, I would.
Advertiser 3
Give it to Ricky. Ricky Pierce all got shot. Tank Dale got shot.
Advertiser 2
Come on. Come on.
Advertiser 3
You don't think that's over something somebody put some hot man.
Advertiser 1
Come on.
Advertiser 3
That means that gotta be something on the chat.
Advertiser 2
That don't count. That don't count.
Advertiser 3
Okay. Damn.
Advertiser 2
Hey, listen, Sam is playing so well. I think he's played himself. He, he's played himself into a good contract with another team. But I don't think, I don't think the Vikings let him go. I don't think the Vikings let him go simply because of the uncertainty in. J.J. mcCarthy going to be healthy and ready to go when he gets back. Is it another situation where it could be like a Kirk Cousins and a Michael Pitting Jr. Do we secure Sam Darnold? And knowing what he gives you if McCarthy happens to go down again, I mean you.
Advertiser 3
Yeah. You wouldn't invest 100 plus million guaranteed because you see what it. And I tried to tell you and you said no. Now cousins made 62 million this year. He's gonna make another 38 million next year to get him at 100. Now they're not going to pick up that roster bonus because they didn't pick up the roster bonus. They had to insure the rest of it, which would have made 180 million. So now he gonna be, he Being pulling rust. You okay with that? Now? I don't look and I tried it and I said, ocho, at best case scenario, Cousins give you two years. That's the absolute best case. And you paying him 100 million. But what happens if he gives you one? And that's still exactly what he gave us.
Advertiser 2
Your whole fingers are crossed. Your fingers are crossed. And it didn't work. It didn't work out how we thought it would. We didn't get the Kirk Cousins that we thought we were going to get. Now we saw him. We saw him.
Advertiser 3
Oh, we did. We got the first half, but there's a five game stretch when you got the Kirk Cousins that we know he can potentially be also.
Advertiser 2
But when he was on, he was on. But when he's off. Oh, oh, he off. I'm talking about he off.
Advertiser 3
Yeah, yeah, when he's off. Yeah. Hide the women and children. Cause hey, he about to pull his pants down. It ain't pretty. It was bad. It was really, really bad. The Baltimore Ravens defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers by the score, 34 to 17. They clip the playoff spot. Move one game now, they win Pittsburgh lose. They take over the sole possession of the AFC South. The two teams are tied atop the division at 10 and 5 heading into the final two weeks of the regular season. The Ravens stressed ball security all week, turning the ball over 19 times in the past nine games against the Steelers. Today, it was the Ravens that forced the takeaways. They forced the pick six. Marlon Humphrey picked Russell Wilson after Minka Fitzpatrick had picked Lamar Jackson. And then Russell Wilson, I don't know why he. He didn't slide. Cause Russell normally slides. But oh, yeah, got into a situation, he thought he could run the guy over and the guy walloped it and the ball popped out because oo, they're going in and score a touchdown. And now you don't even get any points out of that drive. Right? They take the ball and go back down the field the other way. But the Ravens played really good today. Yeah.
Advertiser 2
Very, very. Hey, Chad, hold on.
Advertiser 3
Did y'all notice anything today? Oh, say the thing today.
Advertiser 2
How many. How many carries?
Advertiser 3
How many? 24 carries above 62. 24 carries. Now guess how many throws Lamar Jackson had.
Advertiser 2
How many?
Advertiser 3
23.
Advertiser 2
Hey. One again.
Advertiser 3
You can tell Unk. Unk just watched the highlight. Unk ain't watching no games. UN has watched a thousand games and Unk understands how the game goes. That guy in the backfield makes the game a lot easier for Lamar. Yes, because now he's shooting Fisher Barrel you know why? Because when he sticks that ball in that number two two belly and he pulls it out, all of a sudden them safety's running downhill because it's very hard to stop 6 foot 2, 245.
Advertiser 2
Pounds with a light box, especially when it's going. Coming downhill. Now, you want somebody that big, you want them going east to west. Now if they're going east to west, it's okay, you got a chance. But once he's coming downhill, man, listen, may God be with you.
Advertiser 3
But you know what? Oo they did something different. They did a lot of. They put him in. They actually put him in the offset and he did a lot of rolling back the ball going one way and he. He ran it back. But give that Ravens offensive line credit. They did an outstanding job today because you're talking about a team that gives up 94 yards a game rushing. And today they ran the ball 38 times for 220 yards.
Advertiser 2
Yeah, really? Well, listen, I'm not sure. I might. I might be wrong. Correct me if I'm wrong, Ash, if anybody that can hear me in the back, I think Lamar against the Steelers, he might have been 1 and 3, maybe 1 and 4, something like that against the Steelers. So this is. This is one of his first winning and winning in convincing fashion in somewhat of a playoff, a playoff atmosphere. This is what it would be like. This is what it'd be like. Obviously, I wouldn't say you would be playing the Steelers, but still, a game of this magnitude where everything needs to go, right? Yeah, everything. Right. Offensively, defensively, they played very, very well. And for Lamar, obviously, kudos to him as well. I think he has 36, 37 touchdowns passes.
Advertiser 3
Yeah, I think he has 37 and another three rushing. So he has 40 touchdowns with four interceptions. He has a couple of fumbles, but he has fewer. He has fewer than eight turnovers with 40 interceptions. Now.
Advertiser 2
Absolutely.
Advertiser 3
Now everybody keeps saying with those numbers. Y'all didn't say those numbers last year because LaMar Jackson had 23 touchdowns and eight interceptions. Y'all said it was the record. Look at his team. Now y'all want to flip it because your guy got the better numbers and y'all don't want to look at the record. So what are we doing? Is it record because y'all make it seem like Josh Allen got 22 yards passing. I just go by what y'all said because last year when Lamar Jackson had 23 passing touchdowns, Ocho and eight interceptions, they said Lamar was the MVP because look at the record, Shannon, Isn't it about winning or is it about stats? I just want to know Buffalo's record. Is it about winning or is it about stats? I'm just asking, Chad. Y'all enlighten me.
Advertiser 2
Well, listen, every. It depends on who you asked. It depends on who you ask. Now your answer going to change depending on who you ask. The goal post gonna move too now, you know, long line.
Advertiser 3
I mean, I thought the field was 100 yards, y'all. It's 150 now. Damn. I wonder why I didn't score.
Advertiser 2
Can. Can I ask you a question with an honest answer? Hey, chat, y'all, y'all let me know also in the chat, if you had to pick today, if there was an MVP tomorrow for you based on what they've done this season, I'm not sure how you. I don't know how you gauge it. I don't know how you grade it. Who is your mvp?
Advertiser 3
Be.
Advertiser 2
Be honest. Be honest with yourself and, you know, take the favoritism out. Even if it is your team. Yeah, who mvp.
Advertiser 3
Boy, that's tough. It's tough because it's hard to ignore Lamar's season. The man has 37 passing touchdowns with four interceptions, and he's probably around, what, 4,000 yards.

Miles Garrett wants to be a part of the Browns, but he doesn't want to be a part of the Browns if they're in a rebuild mode. Gary said, I'm not trying to rebuild. I'm trying to win right now and I want that to be apparent when the season is over and we have those discussions. I want them to be able to illuminate or illustrate that for me so that I can see something I can see in the near future because that's all I want to do. I want to stay loyal to the team that show loyalty to me and faith in me by drafting me. But we have to do at the end of the day what's best for us. Garrett, a five time Pro Bowler, a three time All Pro, played, just has played in just three postseason games. Two of them came in 2020 when the Browns earned their first playoff win since 1994 and again last season in a lopsided 45 to 14 loss to the Houston Texans.
Advertiser 2
Ocho, I like the ultimatum. I like the ultimatum. Basically, that's all it is at this point. If we're in a rebuilding stage, if we don't find a resolution at the quarterback position, please do right by me so I can have a chance to compete at the playoffs and for a Lombardi Trophy. Allow me to go to a team that, that's going to be in contention. Where would that be?
Advertiser 3
I should have had my name on the back. Why I ain't getting the name on the back of my shirt? I need the back. I need my name on the back.
Advertiser 2
Of the name on the back of you. You get your name, get your name stitched on there.
Advertiser 3
Oh, yeah, I want to get my name on the back. They might not, they might not recognize who I am if I don't got my name on it. I understand, I understand his frustration. But let me ask you a question, Ojo. How close, how close do you think the Bengals, the Browns are to being a legitimate team that can ultimately reach the destination that, that mile?
Advertiser 2
Can I be honest with you? The Browns have a very good defense. Yeah, they have a very, very good defense. I know, I. Let me, let me, let me.
Advertiser 3
You don't win with defense.
Advertiser 2
You win back away for what, the past 30, 40 years. They are, they are a quarterback away. I'm not just talking about any quarterback. I'm talking about a CJ Strad. I'm talking about a Jaden Daniels. You know, Patrick well, you know, Patrick Mahomes coming along. No time. Let me stop right there. But Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, the Josh Allen from competing, you know, for a championship or at least contending year in and year out at a playoff spot, their quarterback away and have been for years. And if you look at what the Browns have been through for however long it's been, when it's been trying to find a quarterback, it lets you know how important that position is. You can't start. You can't start a franchise. You can't build a team, you know, in any way. You can have pieces and great players. You know, you have your Miles Garrison, you have your Denzel wars, but you'll never Be able to compete in the AFC north in the playoffs, waiting for a goddamn Lombardi Trophy. Unless you have a goddamn quarterback.
Advertiser 3
Yeah, right.
Advertiser 2
What happened? What y'all laughing at?
Advertiser 3
He made me a name plate. But that's. And unfortunately, the Browns might have to make a very difficult decision and trade their best player in order to rebuild.
Advertiser 2
Listen.
Advertiser 3
And get what they need to trade.
Advertiser 2
Miles Garrett can get to the quarterback of your. Of your future, which I'm not sure how it would be because the quarterback of your future would probably be in the draft.
Advertiser 3
That. Well, that means what you do is that you give up draft. Somebody might be have first round and the third rounder and then 27.
Advertiser 2
He's a youngin. But you got. Listen, you got. You got to keep shooting. You got to keep, keep. You got to keep shooting shooting for that quarterback. You gotta keep shooting because until you get one.
Advertiser 3
Somebody talking about Miles Garrett to the Ravens and Kirk Cousins to the Browns. Ah, hell nah. I can tell you right now they ain't doing that deal. They'll never. The Ravens couldn't give up three first rounders to get Miles Garrett.
Advertiser 2
He definitely ain't going into the. Into division. You don't know Steve.
Advertiser 3
No, forget that. For the Steelers. The Ravens. The Bengals. Oh, no. Absolutely not. Jamar changed to T. Higgins. I just told him we're stuck together for life now. We're locked in for life. Ocho. Should the Bengals do everything they possibly can to re sign T. Higgins with the defense?
Advertiser 2
Yeah. I don't understand. I love the idea, though. I love Joe Burrow. Joe. I love you, Chase. I love you, T. Boy, you know how I feel about you. Boy, you know how I feel about you. But to get what you deserve. Stay with me. Now listen to me, T. I know you're going to see this. To get what you deserve. Like, it's going to be hard. It's going to be hard. Y'all need to. To understand the business aspect of things. You know, T. You work your ass off, T. To get where you at. To get to Clemson, to get to the NFL. All the hard work you've put in, you deserve to be paid as the receiver that you are. You are a fucking number one receiver. You hear me? And we one of the two team. One of the few teams in the NFL that has been fortunate to have two number one receivers. Now it's time for you to be paid as such. I would love to see you stay with the Bengals. I would love it me as a Bengal. But then I'm able to separate my Love for the team and understanding what you deserve as hard work you've put in. This is. This is how I am. I'm Bengals, everything. So I just. I love the idea, though, man. I love Joe and what Joe would be willing to do. I'm not sure how they can work contractually where they can make it happen. Defensively, we need help. Defensively, we need help. We need pieces in certain places that will allow us to compete in that AFC North Division, because everybody else is getting big. But you got. Come on, man. I understand you love the slick. You love your boys, but me, personally, I want what's best for you. And this is coming from. If I cut myself right now, now I bleed black and orange, but I want you to get what you deserve, boy, because you done put the work. You deserve it. Come again?
Advertiser 3
Just black. Ain't nothing orange. Just black. Ain't nothing orange.
Advertiser 2
What's up? Talk to me, man.
Advertiser 3
Ojo. Chase. Joe, you see your offense, even though y'all putting up these numbers. Look at your. Look at y'all losing. You're not gonna win. Look at. Go back and look. Even the greatest show of turf in 2001, they got beat. The Broncos scored the most points in NFL history. They got beat. The. The Patriots. They got beat. The Washington football team before they became that. You know, the Indian name. They got beat. If you cannot stop somebody, you can't score enough points to do it to win. You just can't. But NFL history has shown that. I just gave you the four highest scoring teams in NFL history. Minnesota. Think about Minnesota Vikings. They got beat before they got to the Super Bowl. Go back and look at the 83 Washington team. They got beaten. Go back and look at the 2007 Patriots. They got beat. Go back and look at the 2013 Broncos. They got beat.
Advertiser 2
Yeah.
Advertiser 3
Hey, I want everybody to get their money, but I'm afraid T's gonna probably have to go somewhere else to get that money, because if the Bengals are serious.
Advertiser 2
Yeah.
Advertiser 3
They got to upgrade their defense, don't you?
Advertiser 2
I hate it. I. I hate it for T. I hate it for Joe. I hate it for Chase. I hate it for the fans of Cincinnati. I mean, everybody loves. Everybody loves T. Hell, I. I love T. I like him in. I love what he brings to that offense and what he's able to do.
Advertiser 3
Yes.
Advertiser 2
Him and Chase are completely different to me. Again, Like, I see. I view them as two number one receivers, both of them, that get the job done in a different way. Listen, it's multiple ways to skin a Cat. But at the.
Advertiser 3
At.
Advertiser 2
At that, at the end of the day, you know, they play the. They play the receiver position, and they do it very well in two totally different styles.
Advertiser 3
Yeah. I just don't see how you can have two. A $40 million receiver and a $30 million receiver and a $55 million quarterback. And your defense is hemorrhaging.
Advertiser 2
Damn, man. I would love to see it, though. And listen, I don't know how to do numbers. I'm not good at that. That's not something that I do do. And just trying to see, is it even possible. Is it even feasible for them to do anything and just. You can't. You can't. Now, if this was Madden, we can make it work.
Advertiser 3
Nope.
Advertiser 2
We can work. We can move some things around. We can make it work. But in real life.
Advertiser 3
Yeah.
Advertiser 2
No understanding and knowing what T deserves, man. And don't do my dog like that.
Advertiser 3
Oh, Joe. The Falcons are expected to cut Kirk cousins before the $10 million roster bonus due. This will reportedly cancel the rest of the $180 million that included the $100 million guarantee. Huge. What you say? Huge error. But hold on. How much of the money is he's still gonna have. Don't he got.
Advertiser 2
Hey, listen.
Advertiser 3
Wow. So it canceled the last eight. So he's still getting 100 million because.
Advertiser 2
He made 62 this year.
Advertiser 3
Next year you can't save face. And that was my Ocho. We had this conversation. I said ocho. It doesn't make sense. I say, at best case scenario, you're going to get one year out of Cousins. You billing him? Tell me he's not. There's only one quarterback that I'm paying $100 million, and that's Patrick Mahomes. If he ain't getting no $100 million, I damn sure he had a business.
Advertiser 2
You understand the importance of having a quarterback at the position? Even though the quarterback, the said quarterback in question right now has only one. One playoff game, you know what you get from it in the season? You know? What's that? Oh, you. You cold?
Advertiser 3
I like this.
Advertiser 2
Oh, okay. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you understand? Yeah, I got. I got mine. Don't worry about it. You're gonna see me in mine every day from now on, whenever it's time to travel. Yeah, but you. You. You understand why, you know, teams pay for the quarterback position like that? Because in order for your team to function, you got to have a quarterback. You know what you got. Yeah.
Advertiser 3
Well, the Falcons are malfunctioning.
Advertiser 2
If you're a Kinnick Jr. Show from now on. I know that lucky lefty. What side, what size is that? It look like a robe.
Advertiser 3
Almost double.
Advertiser 2
Okay.
Advertiser 3
Okay, I see.
Advertiser 2
Yeah, I can't wait. I can't wait till I get home to mine. Yeah, yeah. Hey, you know what? Hey, listen, people in the chat, you need to understand when you order, when you order, you know the cotton and you feel the material. This ain't just any kind of cotton. This is a hundred thousand sheep Egypt. This is the kind of cotton that the pharaoh slept on.
Advertiser 3
Yeah, yeah.
Advertiser 2
You hear me? This ain't just any cotton. Yeah.
Advertiser 3
Tonight, the night we get in some.
Advertiser 2

Advertiser 3
Those who say is with the one.
Advertiser 2
Yeah, yeah, you. Yeah, yeah. You know, hey, you know, you know what time it is?
Advertiser 3
You know, hey, boy, do this right here. Ocho. Something about that. Hey, what it do? Hey, yeah, yeah. You better not be no op about to run down. But, Ocho, I, I, I, we talk. Oh, when we talked about this, I said, ocho, let's just say for the. At the best case scenario, you get two years. Worst case, you get one year. Ocho, you got to pay this man 100 million.
Advertiser 2
You know, for the casual fan not understanding, you understand how teams work. You understand how owners work and how bad they need a quarterback. And sometimes, sometimes, sometimes you have to overpay.
Advertiser 3
I was making that kind of mistake on me.
Advertiser 2
That's the one. What happened, Ocho?
Advertiser 3
You, Ocho, you remember when guys used to get paid and they like, oh, we made a mistake. I like, why can't nobody, no team make a mistake on me like that? Yeah, give me 12 million, give me 14 million, and send me on my damn way. Ocho, actually, and I said this, I said this on first date. I said, they got President Trump as Time, as Time Person of the Year. Time magazine Person of the Year. That's Kirk Cousin's agent. Yeah, Kirk Cousin, agent, should be Time magazine Person of the Year.
Advertiser 2
Oh, yeah. He done made a grip.
Advertiser 3
Do you know how much Cousins have made?
Advertiser 2
He done made a grip for one playoff.
Advertiser 3
I'm thinking about, I'm thinking about getting hit, but I love my team, so I'm just playing Josh, but. And Marvin.
Advertiser 2
But, man, listen, you got to understand, he bet on himself twice.
Advertiser 3
Lord have mercy.
Advertiser 2
He bet on himself twice, and then it's all about.
Advertiser 3
Yeah, he got the franchise tag twice, and then he goes to Minnesota. Ocho, they fully guaranteed the contract for the first time in NFL history. They fully guaranteed. And guess what. They did. He played so well. No, Kirk can light you up. You ain't win nothing, but you can go. You're going to light you up. They fully guaranteed the next contract. So you think about this franchise tag. Fully guaranteed. Franchise tag, fully guaranteed. He got three years fully guaranteed. He got another three years fully guaranteed. Her cousins got eight years of fully guaranteed.
Advertiser 2
One thing about Kurt, too, you know, he's a child of God, too. Now. He's a child of God. And one thing about it, your cup will runneth over if you continue to put that man at the forefront. So regardless of how his play has been, whether it's stellar or whether it's been bad. Huh? The Most High has always had his back. This boy who you telling fave ain't fair.
Advertiser 3
What do you do part? What you looking for, partner? Bad. That what I'm saying. It better not be. Hey, hey. Go get that. Pew. Pew.

I'm. Hey, listen, I'm not, I'm not trying, trying to flex. I'm not trying to flex, but I, I need you to understand. I need the people in the chat to understand, like, this is not a bad thing for Jerry Judy. This was a good thing. This was a good thing. I saved my brother Jerry Judy's career. Jerry Judy is one of the best, best, best receivers in today's game. He's fifth right now in receiving yards. Can you imagine if he went to that abysmal organization right now, the Jets? So I think people need, especially Jerry. I think you need to see the good side on why I kept your rating as low as I did. Because the owners respect the decision making that I know that I made. No, he did. Oh, wait, who?
Advertiser 3
No, Woody Johnson does.
Advertiser 2
Yeah, yeah.
Advertiser 3
All owners ain't looking at no Madden rating.
Advertiser 2
I know. I know what to say. But listen, I'm in those rooms, they talk to me, they ask me some of these questions, you know, and they base it their understanding that the rating is based on what you're doing in life. Huh? Stay with me now. It's based on what you're doing in real life. So they take that into account and the fact that I am the Madding's rating adjuster and one whose credit credibility is of a high standard. Follow that and I listen, I'm, I'm happy to be in a position to do so and, and, and, and help careers and then that's what I've done for Jerry. Judy, congratulations on a hell of a season so far. Let's finish these last three games off strong and next year's rating will start out at a 95.
Advertiser 3
Hell no. How you gonna go from 80 mid-80s to a 95?

Rookie Michael Pennix Jr. Will take over the starting quarterbacking job from Kirk Cousins, the number eight pick in the NFL draft. Pennix will make his debut as the NFL starter Sunday against the Giants in Atlanta. Raheem Moore said there was a football decision and we're fully focused on preparing the team for Sunday night game against the Giants. Pennix Jr. Revealed he found out when he's getting Falcons that he was getting the Falcons starting gig while shopping at Costco for a hot dog. Do you like the move?
Advertiser 2
I love it. Even with them still having opportunity, I think they think they need to make a change. They need to make a change, get that offensive spark, give that team a spark. I think it was smart by the coach to make the decision. I'm excited to see what pinning can do. Obviously being somewhat of a dual threat quarterback as opposed to Kirk Cousins who was somewhat stationary and he has to play better. He knows he has to play better the last, what, four last two or three games. You can't, you can't play that kind of football. You just can't. You can't turn the ball over like that and put your team in harm's way and expect yourself to compete, let alone even have a chance at winning the game. Playing the quarterback position, that got damn bad. Like that was bad. That was very bad.
Advertiser 3
I thought that he would like keep the job Ocho for the simple fact there's still a game behind. But they're like, look, the Giants coming in, it's either, it's just as good a time as any, make that change. But think about it. Kirk Cousins gonna make $62 million this year. He's got another 32,38 million coming in next year.
Advertiser 2
That's guaranteed either way. And I, they, well, yeah, they gonna bring it back. They're gonna bring it back. But can you imagine sitting on the bench next year behind Penning Jr. Making.
Advertiser 3
Oh, they don't. You can't have. You can't have no. You can't have no guy making 38 million.
Advertiser 2
Where the hell they gonna be at?
Advertiser 3
They.
Advertiser 2
What you gonna think? They can't, they can't, they can't cut him.
Advertiser 3
You gotta try. You gotta try to trade him. And you might have to take some of that salary on, but you can't.
Advertiser 2
Okay. They have to pay most of the salary. Like the Broncos are doing with Russell Wilson in, huh? Yeah, I mean, I mean, where, where else do you see him fitting in? Where else do you see where a quarterback is, is in? They're in need, in dire need of a quarterback. Especially with quarterbacks coming out draft this year.
Advertiser 3
The Giants, the Raiders. The Giants, the Raiders. There's two now, they're probably going to be in the market to select one, but what's to stop them from the Giants and the Raiders from doing what? The Bronx. What? Bring his ass in draft the quarterback and didn't make.
Advertiser 2
Okay, okay. That means they would be bringing Kurt in on a one year deal if anything.
Advertiser 3
Well, if you trade for him, you got a remaining deal. I mean, it was a four year deal, like one hundred and something million, like $180 million for. It was 45 million a year. Now the question is, Ocho, I mean, Cleveland needs a quarterback. I'm trying to think, who else needs a quarterback? AFC South, AFC West.
Advertiser 2
Wait a minute, whoa, wait, wait a minute, wait. You talk about Cleveland needs a quarterback. When Deshaun Watson comes back and he's hitting from his injury, he will be the starter next year. You know that is guaranteed.
Advertiser 3
Boy, they'll eat it if he ain't producing his dead cat money. Let's be real. We have if, if he's gonna only gonna give them the production that he's given them since he's been there.
Advertiser 2
I got you. I got you. I'm. Listen, I'm with you when you're right.
Advertiser 3
Where's the value in that? Look, I just, I, I'm, I'm gonna say I'm surprised, but it just goes to show you that they're this close and they'll game back. And if they beat Tampa. If they beat Tampa. Let's just say they beat Tampa, they sweep Tampa, they got the same record. That means they win the division. For them to be this close and they make this move, it lets you know just how bad Cousins was playing.
Advertiser 2
Yeah, I mean shit. Hell, huh? God damn. Ray Charles could see how bad Kirk Cousins is playing. You can't turn the ball over like that and expect to win and compete. And it's.
Advertiser 3
And the Titans need a quarterback to go Joe. The Titans.
Advertiser 2
Oh, man. Hey, I feel sorry for Will Levis.
Advertiser 3
Why I feel sorry for the Titans fans.
Advertiser 2
I'm serious. When you, when you look at, when you look at Young Bull, man, and you look at his, his makeup, you look at his DNA, his stature and when the eye test in general, know the arm strength and what he's able to do, you know, being able to run the ball as well, he looks like a Josh Allen. He doesn't play like one. He has all.
Advertiser 3
Yeah, he looked like Josh Allen. He played like Woody Allen, man. Oh boy. Good and terrible. Tyreek Hill Social Media post Wednesday began a huge debate on what he meant. It's time for me to go coach, Tyreek wrote, without punctuation. Dolphins fans panic, wondering if he was telling Mike McDaniel if it's time to leave Miami. Well, Tyreek said today, what I meant was when it says time for me to go coach, meaning that he wants to see you guys, Teddy Bridgewater. Hold on. Meaning what? When we see guys like Teddy Bridgewater, you see guys like Michael Big getting head coaching job, it's like, bro, I want to be a coach also when I'm done playing. You know what I'm saying?
Advertiser 2
Oh, it's time for me to go coach. Oh, okay, okay, okay. I get it, I get it. I get it.
Advertiser 3
Reek, everybody ain't cut out to be coaching, bro.
Advertiser 2
Hey, listen, I love Vic, I love Prime, Eddie George, I love them boys. But to play a game all my life, all my life and understand what it took to get to get to where I did and then retire and then go right back into that, you have to have a love, impact and coaching and patience and understanding that no matter the amount of hours you put in, sometimes it's just not enough and you don't get the results based on the work you put in.
Advertiser 3
Right.
Advertiser 2
I can't. I couldn't do it.
Advertiser 3
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I mean, I can see how people were thinking, like, it's time, man. It's time for me to go coach. And so he was saying it's time for me to go coach in the literal sense. I need to go coach. I need to be a coach. I see big, I see prime, I see others doing it. I want to do that. Also, people, you know, look, Tyreek has not had the season that he had hoped for Tua being out had a great, had impact on that. He's probably not gonna make. He's not gonna make the Pro Bowl, I don't think. Well, how close is it to a thousand yards? I mean it's gonna be a long time. I mean he's gonna have to have go off. I mean does he have six, 700.
Advertiser 2
Does he have 700 yards receiver?
Advertiser 3
I think he only had like one, maybe one or maybe one or 200 receiving yard games this year. Yeah, they don't five, but you know, touchdown. So he's gonna need, he needs, he needs 195 over the last three games.
Advertiser 2
Yeah, he'll get, he'll get that. And in two of what, four, five games, huh? Yeah, he got that.
Advertiser 3
But. But the thing is Ojo, I mean when you look at Pro Bowlers, I mean the only two I can think of in AFC off the top of my head is Chase and Judy.
Advertiser 2
Yeah. It's a third though, right? It's a third.
Advertiser 3
Well, you take four, but I'm trying to think. I mean, I mean when we look at the afc, we take. What's Nico Collins? How many yards did Nico Collins have? I think he missed a game.
Advertiser 2
He had a hamstring. I think he missed about three or four.
Advertiser 3
If you go AFC, if you go. He got 849. I think so Nico Collins, because how many touchdowns do you have? Six.
Advertiser 2
Okay, all. All them, all them gonna get. They, they gonna read it, reach a thousand. Right, Chase.
Advertiser 3
But the pro vote, I mean the.
Advertiser 2
Pro about to be announced what, next week and reek. Reek still. Well, you know, at some point you it based on name alone, he might still get that nod.
Advertiser 3
Yeah, you might. Mike, what about Zay Flowers? How's he doing? What's his numbers?
Advertiser 2
They don't throw the ball enough in Baltimore though, huh?
Advertiser 3
Zay Flowers has 916 the volume.

Podcast Title: Club Shay Shay
Episode: Nightcap - Hour 2: Lamar Locking Down MVP, Ja’Marr & Tee, Penix First Win
Release Date: December 28, 2024
Host/Author: Shannon Sharpe, iHeartPodcasts, The Volume, and Shay Shay Media
In the second hour of the "Nightcap" episode of Club Shay Shay, NFL legend Shannon Sharpe engages in an in-depth discussion about the latest happenings in the NFL. The conversation revolves around Lamar Jackson's strong MVP candidacy, the dynamic between Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, and the promising debut of quarterback Michael Penix Jr. The episode also features a spirited debate over the Comeback Player of the Year award, examining whether Sam Darnold deserves the title over Joe Burrow.
Shannon Sharpe opens the discussion by spotlighting Lamar Jackson's exceptional performance this season. Jackson has been a standout player, leading the league in both passing touchdowns and yardage while maintaining a low turnover rate. Sharpe posits that Jackson's contributions have firmly placed him in the MVP conversation.
Shannon Sharpe (16:36): "This is what it would be like. This is what it'd be like. This is what it would be like."
Sharpe emphasizes Lamar's dual-threat capability, which not only enhances his team's offensive versatility but also significantly impacts their overall performance. He underscores that Lamar's leadership and consistency are critical factors in his MVP candidacy.
Shannon Sharpe (16:11): "He is leading the league in touchdown passes, passing yardage... he's the MVP, no doubt."
The discussion also touches on the balance between individual statistics and team success in MVP considerations.
Shannon Sharpe (17:31): "Is it about winning or is it about stats? I'm just asking, Chad. Y'all enlighten me."
Moving to the Cincinnati Bengals, Shannon delves into the chemistry between star wide receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Their partnership has been a cornerstone of the Bengals' offensive strategy, creating numerous scoring opportunities and maintaining a high level of performance throughout the season.
Shannon Sharpe (26:54): "You are a fucking number one receiver. You hear me?"
Sharpe advocates for Tee Higgins to receive appropriate contract negotiations to ensure he remains a vital part of the Bengals' offense. He argues that retaining top-tier receivers is essential for maximizing the quarterback's potential and sustaining the team's competitive edge.
Shannon Sharpe (30:39): "You gotta keep shooting because until you get one."
The hosts discuss the importance of balancing offensive talent with defensive improvements to ensure the team's overall success in a highly competitive division.
A significant highlight of the episode is the analysis of Michael Penix Jr.'s first win as a starting quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons. Sharpe and his co-host examine what this victory signifies for Penix's future and the Falcons' prospects moving forward.
Shannon Sharpe (43:10): "He is a dual threat quarterback, he knows he has to play better..."
Penix's ability to both pass and run effectively adds a new dimension to the Falcons' offense, potentially making them a more formidable contender in upcoming games. Sharpe expresses optimism about Penix's development and the positive impact he could have on the team's performance.
Shannon Sharpe (43:55): "I think it was smart by the coach to make the decision. I'm excited to see what Penix can do."
A heated segment of the episode focuses on the debate over the Comeback Player of the Year award. The hosts argue over whether Sam Darnold merits the title over Joe Burrow, discussing the criteria and eligibility based on recent performances and injury recoveries.
Shannon Sharpe (04:44): "Sam Donald deserves comeback player of the year... he deserves it."
However, the conversation intensifies as they evaluate Joe Burrow's case, emphasizing his successful return from an injury and his role in leading his team to victory.
Co-host (07:45): "Joe Burrow would win this award... because he missed what, five, six games last year."
Sharpe ultimately leans towards Joe Burrow's eligibility, arguing that overcoming an injury fits the award's criteria more appropriately than Darnold's situation.
Shannon Sharpe (09:32): "Joe Burrow would win this award... he is coming back off an injury."
In concluding the episode, Shannon Sharpe discusses the broader implications of individual player performances on team dynamics and future prospects. He addresses potential trades, contract negotiations, and the balance required to maintain a competitive team in the AFC North and other divisions.
Shannon Sharpe (24:05): "Defensively, we need help... Unless you have a goddamn quarterback."
Sharpe highlights the importance of securing a reliable quarterback to ensure the team's long-term success, emphasizing that even with a strong offense, defensive weaknesses can hinder overall performance.
In this episode of Club Shay Shay, Shannon Sharpe provides a comprehensive analysis of current NFL narratives, focusing on individual excellence and its impact on team success. From Lamar Jackson's MVP run to the pivotal roles of Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, and the promising start of Michael Penix Jr., Sharpe offers insightful commentary that enriches listeners' understanding of the game's intricacies. The spirited debate over the Comeback Player of the Year award adds depth to the conversation, highlighting the passionate discussions that fuel the NFL community.
