Ravens Caged By Steelers (Hour 2)

It is the JR Sport Brief Show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network.

Coming to you live from Atlanta, Georgia. Thank you to everybody tuned in and locked in all over North America. I'll be hanging out with you for the next three hours. This is when the show gets started.

Well, not really. It got started an hour ago. I'll be here with you for three more hours. I've been here for for one hour. I already forgot what the hell I've been doing.

Sorry, I'm just being human. Anyway, we already talked about a lot last hour. New York Giants moving their starting quarterback to the bench, moving him on out the door. Next, Daniel Jones telling him sayonara for Tommy DeVito. We talked about Kirby Smart lying to the public, telling everybody he trusts Carson Beck.

What a lie. Deion Sanders wants respect for his players. You better respect Travis Hunter.

You better respect his son. And we talked about some good NFL football that we saw yesterday between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Bills. And except for the Bills won, the Chiefs lost.

Buffalo Bills are hoping that this happens in the postseason. Good luck to that. And we have so much more to get into. You can always listen to the show on the free Odyssey app on your local Infinity Sports Network affiliate. You got Sirius XM and Channel 158.

And if you got a smart speaker, ask the speaker, talk to the machine, ask it to play the Infinity Sports Network. And 20 minutes from now, we're going to have a conversation with Jonas Schaefer from the Baltimore banner, because that was a good game we had yesterday as well. And quite a few good games. Game winning drives, game winning runs. You saw what happened last night with the Bengals and the Chargers were trying to blow the game. But I guess this is what happens when you have Harbaugh in.

That's why you have him in so you can actually win a game. The Steelers kicked their way to another victory, the most Steelers victory ever. Every Steelers victory is a Steelers victory.

They can't help themselves but to win everything ugly. And then we already talked about this, but we'll get into it a little bit more. Cowboys are going to host the Houston Texans in about an hour from now. Monday Night Football and Dallas Cowboys have already unfortunately had a hiccup tonight in Arlington as a piece of the roof has fallen off. Everything is OK. Everybody's fine. They open up the roof for the first time in about two years and a piece of sheet metal or something fell out of the sky.

And so now they have promptly closed the roof. Good and congratulations. Oh, man. Yeah. Hello.

It's not hilarious. Hickey did. They showed it on TV. The pylon cam got it. How about that? Oh, did it really?

I didn't see that. That's actually a great use of the pylon cam. Man. Yo, bro, that thing is like.

I don't know, a little 10 feet. They're showing they're showing C.J. Stroud. Hey, listen, man, that's where the thing could have fell on you, OK? Oh, man. They got a guy in the roof with a power drill. They got Jerry Jones looking about.

Hickey, you cannot make this stuff up. Now we got video. Now it's an hour later.

Oh, my God. The roof is caving in on the Cowboys figuratively and literally. What a way to open up the Monday night football countdown show. Hey, by the way, we got football tonight, but the Cowboys roof is falling apart.

Way to go, Jerry. Hickey, if I looked up and I was standing there. I took my chin and take it like a champ. Oh, I would. I would tuck my chin.

Oh, my God. Lift my shoulders up and take it like a champ. I would be on the floor. I'll be on the floor. This is what Jerry did. Jerry did it.

I came to Dallas Cowboys Stadium to work. I'm leaving in a wheelchair. Oh, yeah. Take one.

Take one like like a champ. I would have. I think leaving in a wheelchair is the best case scenario that I think you would have died. No, that piece of ten foot piece of sheet metal drop in one thousand feet. Did you see it spinning? It was light. It was down fast. No, if it was heavy, it would have done some damage, like real damage. If it was heavy, like it would have darted down like it was spinning like like a feather.

Right. But if it's spinning and it's dropping at that height, I mean, that has to do some real damage to the point of I mean, the tuck my chin. I don't know. Take it like a champ shoulder. If you if you tuck your chin good enough, you let it get to the back of your neck. What if it gets your spinal cord?

Why are you being so morbid and down? I'm just trying to protect you because I'm afraid you're going to put yourself in a situation to where I watched it fall again. It almost hit a guy, a guy. He moved out the way.

He moved. Oh, that would have been I mean, unless it's split me in half. Yeah, that was what I'm worried about. Yeah, it looks sharp. Yeah, that thing looks sharp. It would have cut me in half like one of those movies where the bad guy gets split in half. Yeah, it did that. Can I throw this by you?

Go ahead. Do you think it was at all by chance? Intentional to distract everybody from the fact that the Cowboys stink. So instead of spending two hour pregame show talking about how bad the Cowboys are, now you're spending some of that pregame show breaking down footage of a piece of sheet metal falling from the roof. Hey, I got a four hour show here, right? They got they got an hour pregame. They have spent the first five minutes talking about this piece of sheet metal. So when you say on and now they got Dak Prescott walking in on on crutches and a Yankee hat.

Interesting. What a Dallas Cowboys. What a what a distraction.

What do you think? Jerry Jones told some guy, hey, go up there and, you know, this let the metal loose. Like, well, I mean, he is the master salesman, right? And he could also be the master distractor when things right now are not going well. He we know he deflects blame very, very I don't say well, but he deflects blame a lot. And so maybe he knowing this is a spotlight game, maybe one of the last opportunities, you know, they got Thanksgiving.

That's a little bit of a different animal. But Monday Night Football, everybody watching here to our pregame show, get started here in ESPN. Have you figured, you know, with an in-state rival coming to town that just about to kick our ass? You know, it's just, you know, let's just take the attention away from our bad team with our bad quarterback and our bad head coach and our bad defense.

And let's just put it on on right now, objects falling from the sky. Now, you know what? You know what I'm looking forward to? When he talks to the media, when he does, does he have his radio? Well, he's going to talk after the game after they probably lose. And then he's probably going to do radio, what, twice this week, at least. And so the first time he does radio down in Dallas, they're going to ask him about his roof falling apart. And what is he going to say at that point? Accidents happen. You know, thank God no one was injured and we're investigating why that's the case.

There should be like, I already know what he's going to say. Nothing. I'm not going to say not a damn thing. I still wish, you know, I could duck. You know, if I hit the floor, if I hit the floor, forget tucking my chin.

If I hit the floor on my hands and knees and tuck my head, I take, I take a hit from the sheet metal. What's the worst? Nothing. It cut me. That's the worst. Nothing. Now, what about this is on video and you are, I don't want to say intentionally, let's say, but maybe let's just say not urgently getting out of the way. Does the video aspect ruin?

No. I'm just, I'm just making sure I'm thinking about every angle to make sure you're not putting yourself in harm's way for no reason. You got two options when an object is coming your way. You could brace yourself for impact or you can move.

Right. The guy who moved out of the way, you saw the thing fall, right? You saw it?

I did see it fall. Did you see the guy move out of the way at the last second? The last second he moved out the way. Right. So if he moved out of the way at the last second, that guy almost got hit. What's the difference for me at the last second going, Oh crap, that's the best options for me to hit the ground. I guess, you know what?

Okay. If you sell it, fair, you got to sell it though. Hickey, if I should be so lucky, the ceiling... Can't be running underneath it. No, no, you just got to stand there. If I'm lucky enough to be underneath it.

If I had it my way, the ceiling in the studio would cave in on me right now. If I'd be so lucky, but I'm not. Some people get lucky. I wish, you know, lucky enough to win the lottery or lucky enough to date the girl of my dreams. JR goes off, I'm lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time for a piece of metal to just knock me out in the right way or the roof above my head to just cave in and hurt me in a way where I can get paid a lot of money. Correct. I could be so lucky.

Not to be mistaken. I'm not one of those people who jumps in front of moving vehicles. That's not me. But if the vehicle wants to hit me, depending on how fast I'll take the hit. Hey, I'll take you. I could take some abuse. I'll tell you that much.

Okay. It's a Georgia play driving, maybe get out of the way. If a Georgia... What, hit by a charger at 120 miles per hour?

This is not the battle I want to win right now. Thank you for reminding me how dangerous it is to drive out here. I remind that every day I get my vehicle.

Yeah, I know. Anyway, I'm good to be alive. I'm happy to be here. Shout out to everybody out there trying to feel better for some things.

I'm trying to avoid injury. I am, seriously. As they show Troy Hickey, Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith are standing on the field looking up at the ceiling. You can't make this stuff up. Oh my God. You just got to laugh at this point, right? Like they know the glory days. They know what it used to be.

And now all of a sudden here you are back at home and it's just like, you can't even have the roof working properly. Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith are looking at their point up at the sky. Thank God. How about this? All jokes aside, thank God this didn't happen during the game. Could you imagine? Oh my God. Could you imagine if it landed on the play on the field of play?

It landed on the sidelines, like just right outside of the end zone. You can't make this stuff up. Takes out Mike McCarthy. Then we would have reason to say Jerry is behind it.

I think we got a good reason for that, man. Wow. 855-212-4200. 855-212-4227.

That's 855-212-4227. Jonas Schaefer from the Baltimore Banner is going to join us on the other side of the break, have a chat about why these Baltimore Ravens can never beat the Steelers and what this means for the rest of the season as they get ready to take on the Chargers who had a damn good game last night. And next week we get a Harbaugh bowl.

But yeah, it's shout outs, it's shout outs to the Chargers last night. Looked like they were going to choke this game away and came back and won against the Bengals. Poor Joe Burrow can't win a game to save his life.

He could ball out and have the game of his life. He still takes an L. Chargers beat the Bengals 34 to 27 in the Bengals. Got five losses by seven points or fewer. They now have a record of four and seven. Burrow threw three touchdowns yesterday and trying to lead them back. The Chargers led 27 and six in the third.

And then they still won. You got Justin Herbert, he long ass runs. He's finding Lad McConkie who ended the day, ended the night I should say. 123 yards receiving. Dobbins had that big run to shut things down. 29 yards to put them away.

And that was pretty much all that she wrote. Chargers come out on top of the Bengals. At least one Harbaugh was happy yesterday.

Congratulations on that side. You know what? This is just poor for the Bengals. And we could probably, I think we can go ahead and bury them. Because Joe Burrow, he says we got to get better at finishing games. Maybe you need to start better as well, Joe.

Sorry. Just got to make the plays. Just got to make the plays.

And we have it down the stretch and we're not, we're not, you know, a good enough team to, you know, our margin of error is slim. So we got to make those plays. I got to make those plays. We all got to make those plays. Yeah, but starting off the game at 27 and six is, that doesn't help when you have to try to come from behind. Not, not, not at all.

And Hickey, you shared this with me earlier today. In the seven losses this season that the Bengals have, Joe Burrow has completed 67% of his passes. 2100 yards, 18 touchdowns and two interceptions. What the hell is he talking about? He needs to be better. You're right. It ain't on him. That's for damn sure. This season, this four and seven year lost year, it ain't his fault.

Yeah. The defense stinks. They have no run game. You know, not a lot of people talk about the fact that Mixon is gone. Like he's now a member of the Houston Texans and the Bengals are going nowhere. I hope that this isn't what we see from the rest of Joe Burrow's career.

I certainly hope not. We know, or we can expect Jamar Chase to get paid. We know T Higgins is going to be gone next year. He had himself a damn good game yesterday at T Higgins, holding in 148 yards with a touchdown. Chase had two touchdowns and 75 yards. The Bengals are not doing a damn thing this year.

It's unfortunate. Hey, listen, Jamar Chase. He was asked why they can't win latent games. Listen to Jamar. I play football on the field. I don't call plays. I can't really do nothing. Do you think that's part of the finishing factor is play stuff. I don't know.

Yeah. He don't know nothing. He's just like, where's my money. It better come next season. Whether we win or lose, it's the bangles, man, bangles will pay him and be awful for the next bunch of years. It's the JR sport pre show here with you coast to coast on the infinity sports network of the bangles.

Yeah. This is bad loss yesterday in front of the whole country against the chargers. And next week, the chargers, they're going to take on the Ravens who had a bad loss yesterday against the Steelers. It's going to be a hardball bowl for the entire country to watch.

Only one hardball can come out on top. We're going to have a chat on the other side of the break. Joining us is Jonas Shaffer from the Baltimore banner. What's up with the Ravens? What are they going to do in a post-season and when are they actually going to go out there and beat the Steelers? We'll talk about this on the other side of the break. Our guests will join us.

You're locked in. It's the JR sport brief show coast to coast on the infinity sports network. You're listening to the JR sport brief.

It is the JR sport brief show here with you coast to coast on the infinity sports network amongst all the amazing games that we had yesterday. Early on, we saw another battle punch him in the mouth fight between the Steelers and the Ravens. Unfortunately for the Ravens, they come out on the wrong side of the ledger as they lose again to the Steelers. The Ravens have now lost seven out of eight.

Lamar Jackson is now one and four versus the Steelers as a starter. Man, you thought the Ravens just needed to get over the hump of the, I don't know, the chiefs and health in the post-season. What the hell is going on against this team from the steel city to talk about the Ravens and what's going on and what they can do to improve. Joining us right now from the Baltimore banner is Jonas Schaefer. Jonas, how are you, man? I'm doing all right. Thank you for having me. Absolutely.

Thank you and appreciate the time. Now we know when we get these AFC North matchups is everybody punch each other in the mouth, but why aren't things a little bit more even here when it comes down to the Steelers specifically for the Ravens? I think if any of us knew that we would probably be getting a lot of money on the Ravens coaching staff because it's not clear to me. Obviously some of Lamar's and the Ravens not having a leg up in this series is just because they've not needed Lamar in games that they haven't needed to win. They've missed him for some games where he's been injured and of course have not had him at their services, but Pittsburgh has just kind of dragged the Ravens down to their level on defense, especially. They've gotten after Lamar as a pass rush group. They've been the beneficiary of some dropped passes. They've gotten after him with sacks and they just have kind of thrown a wrench into this whole offense that you don't typically see, especially this season. I think yesterday was really apparent just how much attention the Ravens paid to the Steelers pass rush group with the amount of chip blocks that we saw. The Steelers were able to set the Ravens back enough on early downs that when they were going for it on third long, the Ravens just couldn't really pick them apart on zone defense or man-to-man because they were so worried about blocking T.J. Watt or Nick Herbig or Cameron Hayward. It just did not really sing the way you're kind of used to seeing for this Ravens offense.

Jonas, you're from Maryland. How much or how bad was the sky falling of this morning for Ravens fans? Was this a, hey, we lost to the Steelers again? Or is this now an indicator of what the season will look like the rest of the way?

I think it's probably a good question. I think there's a little bit of a, a little bit of b because this is not, I think, the way that Ravens fans expected to lose a game to the Steelers. This was a relatively high flying Steelers offense under Russell Wilson, but the Ravens did a good job on defense. It was, um, you know, they got probably their, their best combined, uh, defensive, you know, past defense run defense effort of the season. And it was still not nearly enough. I mean, I think this was the first time that a team in this Ravens Steelers, uh, rivalry, that the history of the rivalry has ever won a game without scoring a touchdown.

That's, that's just not what you typically see. Um, but there were certainly some red flags that you kind of continue to see in this game in Ravens wins and other Ravens losses. It's, it's the penalties.

They leave the NFL by far in the number of flags. It's, it's that inability to finish some of these lower scoring games, um, where, you know, you would think that with Derek Henry and Lamar Jackson, they'd be able to, to grind these, to grind these ones out. So, um, obviously the Ravens and the fans would much rather be in first place in the AFC North, but I still think they are, you know, in relatively safe position to, to make the playoffs. It's just probably not going to be, uh, a top two seed at this point.

And, uh, it's, it's about positioning yourself for, for possibly, you know, waiting on the road when you get to the postseason. Jonas Schaeffer is here with us from the Baltimore banner. When you talk about some of the moves that the Ravens have made in season to try to bolster their playoff hopes and where they end up, we saw Tredavious White.

Okay. He's still playing and didn't have an impact at all yesterday. And, uh, you know, Deontay Johnson, we heard from Mike Tomlin, he said, Hey, I got other plays to worry about.

Now he came down with zero catches. So all things considered have the Ravens really made any adjustments in season that could affect them come January? Uh, with the trade acquisitions, um, it's, it's to be determined. Um, I think Deontay Johnson could be a nice piece down the road, but you're right.

Just that the results have not yet been there. Uh, I think Tredavious White definitely showed the Ravens something, uh, you know, for him to get on the field after basically less than two weeks of practice, uh, considering just how much of a struggle it's been for guys who've been in this Raven system after they lost Mike McDonald, uh, to get up to speed and get on the same page, I think was definitely impressive. Um, but you know, the, the, some of the most noteworthy, some of the most significant moves that they've made, uh, on, on the roster personnel side of things is just, you know, them benching guys or them deactivating guys.

It's, it's, you know, putting the Arderius Washington, a former undrafted rookie as the starting safety next to Kyle Hamilton, uh, who's usually in the slot in the box because Eddie Jackson has been a really, really disappointing signings because Marcus Williams, who was, you know, signed to create a claim a couple of years ago has been even more disappointing signing, uh, especially this year, just completely out of nowhere. So, um, they are continuing to, you know, hit certain levers, push certain buttons to try to get the most out of the defense. I think they feel pretty good about their offense. It's still, you know, probably, you know, a top two offense in the NFL, but for whatever reason, they just haven't had a whole lot of luck, uh, getting things consistent on defense.

And, uh, the next two weeks going against Justin Herbert and then, uh, that really, really talented Eagles offense, especially with them, turning things up with Saquon Barkley, I think could be huge, huge challenges as they kind of try to get rolling into the buy. Speaker 2 Well, Jonas, you talk about the defense. This has typically been the Ravens bread and butter and just completely ignore them winning championships with Ray Lewis and Ed Reed and what have you. This is still been their bread and butter. And this year they've given up about 25 points a game. The pass defense has been pretty bad given some of the top flight names that they have. We see the pass rushes and what it used to be. How has the defense fallen off in such a way that it looks like this now over the past several years?

Speaker 1 I think the big, uh, culprit has been, you know, just the brain drain. Obviously last year was the second under Mike McDonald. You know, that defense the first year under Mike McDonald in Baltimore took a while to get going. It really didn't start to turn up until, uh, guys got comfortable in the system until Roquan Smith arrived at mid season in that trade with Chicago. Um, but they also lost Anthony Weaver to Miami and, you know, we're starting to see that dolphin ticket, that dolphin defense get turned around. Denard Wilson, you know, who was, uh, I think heralded for a lot of what he did with the defensive backs group last year in Baltimore, you know, went to Tennessee and despite, you know, the injuries there with Lageria Sneed and them just kind of parting ways with assets, you know, every other week, it seems like has done a really, really nice job with them.

And for whatever reason, the, the lessons and all the, uh, you know, strategic carryover has not really done anyone, um, all that much good, you know, early in the season, there were the ratios with the pass brush, not getting home more recently. It's been guys in the secondary, not being on the same page or just being unable to hang with number one receives number one wide receivers. They're probably the worst defense in the NFL at this point against number one wide receivers.

And, you know, that continued yesterday, you know, uh, George Pickens just had the one moon ball catch. He's still finished with close to a hundred yards, you know, Brandon Stevens, uh, who's been starting opposite Marlon Humphrey has, has really, you know, done a pretty spectacular regression from last year and done it in a contract year for him. Um, and then Marcus Williams, you know, like I said, uh, I think the safety group, even though it has Kyle Hamilton, um, who's, you know, another potential having another potential pro bowl season, you know, you look at the PFF grades and pretty much every single one of those guys hitting into week 11 was, uh, you know, near the bottom of the league in PFF grades. And no one expected that considering just how acclaimed they've been and how well they've played last year.

So it's really tough to point your finger at just one group. Um, Roquan Smith has not had a, a good year in past coverage either. And, you know, you put all that together and suddenly this, this spine and this defense that was so well-regarded last year has just taken a huge step backward. And, um, even though it looked a little, a little improved yesterday, you know, I'm still not fully committed to saying that this is a group that should be anywhere close to feared come playoff time. Oh, well Jonas, you talked about Monday night football next week. We have the Harbaugh bowl as the Ravens are going to be in Los Angeles to take on the chargers. You talked about the Eagles. They get a bye week, which I would say, Hey, when you got a rushing team on the offense, like the Ravens, they'll certainly going to enjoy it. They have the giants, the Steelers again, this time at home, they go to Texas to take on the Texans or Houston, I should say. And then they finish against the Browns. You talked about this being a Ravens team that is likely going to have to hit the road, uh, in the playoffs. What do you see as the most realistic outcome by the time we get to the post season? Um, in terms of what their seating is or what they can do in the playoffs. Oh, I mean, what, what's the most likely is the scenario for this season to conclude?

It's a good question. Um, you know, it's, it's, it's tough to get over the defensive hang ups we've seen this year. And it's also tough to, uh, imagine a, you know, it's also tough to, I guess, get over some of what we've seen from Lamar in the playoffs, which has been a guy who, you know, does not look anything look, who does not look anything like the excellent regular season version that we've seen. You know, you think back to even last year and it was, um, I don't think there was a player who finished the season on a hotter hot streak than Lamar did. And then it goes into that game against the Texans and it was the Ravens defense that carried them for the first two and a half quarters.

He just could not figure out the blitz. And then, you know, you go against the, the cheese and they take away the Ravens run. And again, it was a whole lot of kind of running around with your head cut off, not really any direction and, you know, come, maybe it's just the kind of fumes of that game against Pittsburgh, but you do get a little bit shaky. You know, if you go against the team that is able to take away the run is able to, you know, get after Lamar with the pass rush without devoting a whole lot of bodies. Um, I think this is a much more capable Ravens offense than last year's, but, uh, I still think, you know, considering where the chiefs are, who they might be, um, just that, that championship pedigree, considering the direction that the bills are right now, I know the Ravens, you know, blew their doors off, uh, you know, a month or two ago, but the way that they've kind of developed into a very well-rounded unit, I think has to be a little bit fearful. So I think the Ravens are probably underdogs at this point to make the ASU championship game. But I think you could also say that, you know, if this defense even gives them, you know, a top 15 double top 15 defense level, uh, I don't know if anyone's feeling it may be as higher.

Okay. Well, Jonas is to be seen. That's why they go out there and play the games. Let's see if the Ravens can turn things around. I think there's like you, they'll get into the post season. Maybe you went around, maybe two, uh, but we, we, we see the teams that are competing at a higher level than them, especially right now at Jonas, where can people follow you and all of your work?

Yeah. Uh, on, on X, uh, Jonas underscore safer, JL and may has FHA, FFR, and then, and, uh, the Baltimore banner. So the, the Baltimore banner.com slash sports. And, uh, yeah, we'll be covered all through the season. And thank you, Jonas. Appreciate it, man. And enjoy the rest of the evening, the rest of the season. Great catching up with you, man.

Thanks for having me on. No doubt about it. That Jonas Schaefer from the Baltimore banner taking a look at these Ravens and, and nobody has the answer. I mean, outside of having to play them all the damn time. And this is what the Steelers do. They drag you into a cave and they just club you and they just beat you down.

It doesn't matter what you want to do. The Steelers impose their will. They beat the Ravens 18 to 16 yesterday. They just beat them up. Like there's no other explanation besides just beating them up. Boswell kicked six field goals to win his game for the Steelers six.

You can't make this stuff up. I wouldn't be shocked that the Steelers, this is the funny thing about the Steelers. Am I trusting them to go on a three and four game winning streak against the best of the best in the postseason? Uh, probably not, but on any given Sunday, they could beat anybody. They have one of the top, if not the top defense in the NFL and they just, they club you and then they beat you via field goals.

It's like death by a thousand strikes. And then somehow they win. And here you have, uh, Mike Tomlin, who's basically a game away once again from looking at a season where he finishes with a winning record and things are not going to get easier, you know, for the Pittsburgh Steelers as the season continues on, they have a record now of eight and two.

Uh, God bless them. Nice to see they got the Browns next. They have the bangles, the Browns, the Eagles, the Ravens, the chiefs, and the bangles again. And so we'll see how these Steelers go ahead and finish off the year.

But Mike Tomlin guaranteed the end with another positive season. I'm sure the bangles will play them close and then decide to choke the game away at the end. It's the bangles way right now. It's the JR sport. We show here with you coast to coast on the infinity sports network. We're going to take a break. When we come back on the other side, Hey, let's talk about some college teams that have choked and they've waited until the worst possible moment to do so. Well, LSU really choking away a season. They may have to get rid of their head coach and then BYU. Yeah, they were undefeated. Now they took an L now might cost them a whole lot more than the game. This past Saturday, you were listening to the JR sport brief.

It is the JR sport brief show here with you coast to coast on the infinity sports network. Thank you to Jonas Schaefer from the Baltimore banner for joining us in our last break, taking a look at the Baltimore Ravens who are now seven and four after losing to the Steelers, 18 to 16. The defenses is not improved.

Their trade acquisitions before the break have not yet done a thing. And it's not going to get any easier as these Ravens get ready to take on Jim Harbaugh and the chargers. That's that's next Monday, Monday night football, we got another good matchup.

It would be fun. The charge is able to go ahead and I don't want to say turn your season around, but not necessarily the same joke. They have a record of seven and three.

People will take a look at the teams that they have, you know, gone up against and go, Oh, well, the defense is great, but the teams they play against are pretty much garbage. But we're going to have a good one next week and we will get, I don't even know. Hickey, how many how many Harbaugh stories will we get next Monday? Like, like three hours worth all day? Oh, all day. Yeah. Probably all week, honestly, leading up to it. It's going to be a little insufferable.

Harbaugh on the Harbaugh. I can't call it crime, but violence, right? Violence. Yeah, I think they would appreciate that.

Okay. Harbaugh on Harbaugh violence. Good for them. I'm sure their dad will be in attendance doing insane what I have no idea, but I'm sure he'll be there. I was going to say maybe wearing a split Jersey, but what do you do when your sons are the head coaches?

No Jersey to wear. Do the dads do that? I feel like the moms always do that, right? Yes.

So if you're Mrs. Harbaugh, right. Do you just wear nothing? Do you wear like a, you know, a chargers hat and a raven sweatshirt? Does one parent wear one? The other parent wears the other?

Do you just both go neutral? Well, I mean, how old is their mother? How about she just wear a sweater, right? She's wearing a sweater, not wearing no Jersey, right?

That could pass. She got to be in her, I don't know. How old does she got to be? They're in their sixties, give or take, right? And like round 60. Yeah. Maybe seventies. Eighty something, right? I don't know.

No. Do they, do old people wear jerseys? They wear, they wear sweaters. They do wear sweaters. Cause cold.

It is cold. Old. You're right.

I hope they'd be in a box. Excuse me? You know, like in a, in a suite, you know, what did you do? Oh, Oh my gosh.

You are sick. You know that you said, I was like, Hey, what is he talking about? Oh, the game.

I slowed down a little bit, put him in a box. Jesus Christ. Oh my gosh.

Yeah. You were trying to put me in a wheelchair early. What are you talking about? I'm trying to keep you out of a wheelchair as you're trying to dive under loose pieces of metal, falling hundreds of feet in the air.

So I don't, I don't know the full story yet at Dallas Cowboys stadium. It appears that there was a guy, I don't know if this is before or after he was pulling loose sheets of metal. Did you see that guy with the drill? And like, he was strapped in?

Yes. That's what I couldn't tell what he was doing. He was drilling something in or just there. So there's just loose pieces of scrap metal up in the roof of Jerry's world. I don't know if he was the cause of the first sheet falling or if the sheet fell and they said, Hey, you go up there and fix it. You know, I don't know. I don't know.

We'll find out sooner than later, but yes. And by the way, I see, I've seen more images of that loose sheet of metal. That thing is big, man. That was, that thing is like 12 feet, you think, give or take, right? Yeah. It's pretty long, not too wide, more like a rectangle, but it's what I would agree. Like maybe 10 by three.

Yeah. It's the photo it's like up against one of the field level suites and it spans multiple panels. So, you know, if you, you think about a suite, if it's one suite is pretty wide and all the 10, 12 feet, that thing is, I think it's huge.

I think it's huge. Hopefully nothing else falls out of the sky at the game. Cooper Rush is going to be throwing some interceptions.

That'll probably be the only thing out there floating around. We'll talk about this sad sack of an NFL Monday night football game at the top of the hour, right before they get ready to kick things off. And speaking of a sad sack, this was pretty hilarious. We talked about Joe burrow. This guy is lighting it up for a team that still sucks and stinks. His defense is atrocious.

I don't know. Maybe Joe burrow wants to go back in time and go back to LSU. I know everybody at LSU would love to have Joe burrow back. They stink right now.

They got a record of six and four. I was laughing out loud. Brian Kelly is yelling at his players, telling them that they are unculturable. You got players who are cursing him out on the sidelines. Hickey, why did they cut away? Because it's disrespectful. I wanted to see the interaction. They just cut away. I agree. Get the camera on them and keep it there.

Let's see what happens. These are adults. These are grown men. I don't care if this one guy is a student, the other guy is a coach. This is entertainment. If we got, if we got one athlete pulling up to the head coach and just cursing him out, let us see it. And so I know people in Louisiana, they can't stand Brian Kelly. They're probably sick of this dude. And so today he spoke to the media.

Oh yeah, by the way, I didn't even get into all of this. They lost to the Gators. They have lost three straight games. They were ranked last week on the AP top 25. They are no longer ranked this week. You got recruits who are being recruited away, star quarterbacks who are being recruited away from LSU. They got Vanderbilt next.

They got the Sooners and today Brian Kelly, he says, you know what, in order to right this ship from my six and 14, I'm not doing nothing crazy. When you don't get the right outcomes, immediately, it's going to be, you know, uh, take this action, do this, um, you know, bench that guy, fire that guy. It's much more about for us, um, you know, understanding that we have a process in place. We have to stick with our process.

And then maybe are there things that you have to tweak within that? And that's how I've operated for over 34 years. Uh, I'm certainly going to, uh, feel the pain of our entire state when we're not successful. He's going to feel the pain of the entire, if he gets fired, he still gets paid. I don't think you feel in that pain, not in Louisiana. I'm sorry.

This is quite pathetic. And also, by the way, anytime a head coach, anytime an organization, I don't care if it's the pros or, or college, anytime anybody has talked about a process, they've been a loser. We can take a look at the, and for whatever reason, it's a lot to do with Philadelphia.

Philadelphia 76 is our bunch of losers. Tell me how that process is working out. They got the nerve and the temerity to tell everybody that Joel Embiid, uh, they, they announced when this guy is likely to miss a game, I'm like, that's normal. Let us know when he's actually healthy enough to play that process stinks. And then I've heard Nick Sirianni, the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles. This man has talked about a process. And it's like, if you got to start talking about a process, you might as well get ready to get fired. This man, Brian Kelly is saying he feels the whole pain of Louisiana. I don't think so. I think the fans are feeling the pain.

They want to get you the hell up on out of there. We can shut the door completely closed on LSU. We can watch them in a bowl game and that'll be about it.

That'll be the extent period. Also, meanwhile, we had an undefeated team that took an L over the weekend. BYU people were complaining about where they were situated, where they were in the playoff.

Well, they're going to take a tumble, especially tomorrow. They lost to Kansas, which all of a sudden is now playing a spoiler. At the end of the year, they lost the Kansas 17 to 13 BYU could not score in the end zone to save their damn lives. They blew a 13 to 10 lead entering into the fourth quarter. And so BYU let's also relax on what the hell they can do and who gives a damn where they end up in a playoff. They ain't winning it.

Kalani Satake, their head coach. He said our offense, especially late, trying to win in the Renzo and we couldn't do it. Yeah, it just didn't seem like it was clicking, you know, a lot of mistakes and, you know, just seemed like we could, we got a lot of yards and the run game was working pretty nicely. You know, the turnover at the end of the half cost us settling for field goals isn't going to work either. And then, so, you know, offensively and obviously the way we ended the half and the end of the game, not good enough. So we got, we got to fix it. We got to figure it out. Yeah. Not, not good enough at all.

So what are you doing in the future? You still optimistic? We still have a lot to play for. There's still a lot. We still control our destiny and it doesn't really matter. We just got to get back to getting to work and, and winning next week's Superbowl.

That's, that's going to be the key. Ah, whatever. They got Arizona State in Houston.

They're going to get into the playoff and they're going to get eliminated. Sorry. It's the JR sport. We show here with you coast to coast on the infinity sports network. We're going to take a break. When we come back and talk about this Monday night football matchup between the Texans and the Cowboys, the Cowboys are hoping nothing falls from the sky. The Texans open for victory. We'll talk about it. Don't move.
