We're being joined Now by man, who's a Trailblazer in the blogging world? He is sold companies to both NBC and I think ESPN the guy's a genius the founder of pro football talk the man in the know mr. Mike, Florio. Hi Chad. Hey, I got to I got to ask you a question. We're talking football today or we talked about jumping in lakes are going on roller coasters. Yeah. Listen, I don't want to get me in trouble, but I thought it was funny and I thought you handled it. Well, thank you. I appreciate that speaking of handling things. Well, I don't know how to handle the tweet that they put out this morning about something where you said. I have no inside info. This is just a feeling that Andrew Luck is going to be the starting quarterback for the Las Vegas team in the XFL in 2020. Where did that come from Florida? You have a big brain? You don't just make things up not me XFL in the NFL Las Vegas Raiders like yeah the law. Oh, oh you think he's good? Oh my God. I thought I read that. I thought it was an extra felt. Why do you think he's going to be a quarterback for the Raiders in Las Vegas? Well, I think Derek Carr is not going to be the quarterback of the Team next year, I think they seriously considered finding another quarterback this year Mike Mayock the GM of the team basically said so when explaining why they kicked tires on calamari and Dwayne has seen before the draft. Basically, there's an obligation to constantly look for upgrade. And if you find one at quarterback got to take you got to do what's right for the team and I just don't think Derek Carr and Jon Gruden was ever a good fit. I think they've tried to make it a fit. I don't think it works and I think they're going to look for whatever's out there and I could see a guy like Jon Gruden getting obsessed with the idea of trying to talk to and Ulla outer tire Malik, it wouldn't be easy to do the Colts to hold his rights and a lot of dominoes would have to follow the right way for it to happen. But it's what he wants to come back. I mean the Colts have you probably percent. I don't see the Colts turning aside or benching for set just because luck all of a sudden decide you want to come back and if they could get some sort of value and Trey everybody moves on and this all hinges on what wanted to come back after a year out of football, but I could see Gruden being very Relentless in trying to make it happen if he wraps his Around the idea of getting a veteran quarterback a smart guy who'll be able to handle Gruden's offense and a guy who'll be sufficiently thick skin that he can take whatever abuse verbally Bruton wants to throw at, you know, rude and likes to abuse his quarterbacks because that's his way of simulating game condition. So actually when they're on the football field, it's a relief because they don't have to listen to Gruden and car isn't I believe strong enough to take that and I think that's what's doing that relationship from the start. I'm kind of surprised its lasted two years, but no If the Raiders are going to look around why wouldn't you call the Colts and see what it would take to get Andrew Luck if Andrew Luck to have his mind changed and come back and play and you know to be on the team going into Las Vegas again, if he wants to come back his being away from a year from football for a year has reignited as far for him. It would be a it just makes too much sense to not happen if he decides that he's ready to come back. This is so interesting me because I was thinking about going and kicking for a team I chatted with you about that a little bit and I talked to Chris Ballard after it all came and my knee blew up and I decided I'm going to the media World here and he said he's at now if you were going to go kick somewhere that said somewhere it was going to have to pay for you, but he said to me so I couldn't even fathom what it would be if Andrew Luck was the if he was to give up Andrew Luck's rights to another team. That would have to be I mean, I would have to be a pretty massive giveaway. And I don't know if they do they have it. I guess they do because the governor Khalil Mac to get rid of them like Cooper do they have enough Pieces to potentially make that play. Well, I mean the question becomes how reasonable are they willing to be given that they do know, they feel a debt of gratitude to Andrew Luck and if he if he doesn't play for someone else and never have anything for right and all I have to do is show up like Brett Favre did in 2008 when they were ready to go with Aaron Rodgers and say Here I Am deal with me and then you got a problem. You have to figure out what you're going to do. It's so if he's determined to play it again, that's the biggest factor in all of this if he decides he wants to play. The Colts I think would be wise to try to maybe spark an auction get a couple of teams at the table. But the thing is you know for quarterbacks are going to be a little picky about where they want to go. This is an Andrew Luck coming out of retirement if he would ever choose to do it to just come out of retirement play for anyone it would have to be the right spot. And when you look at what Gruden has done historically with with veteran quarterbacks guys, like Rich Gannon and Rich Gannon was never anything close to Andrew Luck before he got connected with Jon Gruden. I just there's just this weird I could just see Gruden wanting to do it. I could see that the force of Personality doing everything he could to try to make it happen, but you're right. They have to give up something probably significant. I don't know that it would take a first-round pick. But you know if your quarterback situation is unsettled. Would you ship a first round pick to the Colts for Andrew Luck if you know, he's really coming back and he wants to stay and he's really serious about playing I'd strongly consider doing it. I mean if I'm looking for a quarterback. Anyway, I'd rather get a guy that I can play that I'm rolling the dice on I just feel like it's going to be more than a first-round pick personally. I could be wrong, you know more than I do but for me, I feel you know, not who knows who knows what you know, Chris Powell is to draw a line in the sand and say no way in hell or and Jim irsay could get involved and say we're not releasing his right. He plays for us replays for no one if you want to come back he's playing for the cold. So we will put you Kobe percent on the bench. Okay. Hey say say hello to the good boy back there for me. But yeah, that's that's made the yeah. She's a good girl. She just likes to bark when she hears me talking Wild. I'll tell Mason I said hello and I my dog had to go to the vet last night. So I got her taken care of had an allergic reaction Daddy Day Care of this morning. His mom's out of town had to make sure the house didn't go up in Flames was from all the animals. I can absolutely feel. Alright, I want to fire a couple questions that you before we let you go. I know you're very busy. Thank you for getting on here. Jason Garrett. He's done after this year, right? Yeah. I think he's got to take the Cowboys at least to the NFC Championship. Game. Haven't been there since 1995. I don't see it happening. I don't see them winning on the road against the team like the Saints the 49. The Seahawks I think he's going to be done and then who knows what Gary's going to do next? Maybe liar? Urban Meyer? Okay. All right, is is Tom Brady going to leave the Patriots as you going to retire? What do you think's going to happen with Tom? He seems more upset than he has in the past and is Josh McDaniels the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys with Tom Brady is quarterback for the Cowboys a possibility. Oh God, that would be something wouldn't it? I don't think the Cowboys are ready to bench that Prescott that were move on from him. Look, I think I think that that You know all the signs are there suggesting the Tom Brady's frustrated and that maybe it is time to move on. I think he'd like to walk away with a Super Bowl championship. The question becomes is he willing to just go somewhere else and make a money grab if there isn't that clear opportunity to win a Super Bowl because I can't find a spot for him where I would feel like he's definitely going to be in the mix unless Drew Brees retires and the Saints decide. They want to do it for you or Tom Brady before they handed over to Teddy Bridgewater assuming that they can evaluate Brady and conclude that he's still good enough. I mean how much The offensive struggles are on his shoulders. I don't know because you know, it's yeah, it's it feels like sacrilege to say that Tom Brady may not be as good as they used to be but the guys 42 and maybe some of the performance this year is on him. But you know a team like the charters they've got to do something to attract fans in La whether it's Cam Newton whether it's Tom Brady and again, I don't know that Brady's going to want to make a money grab but if I'm the Chargers and Bradys available, I've got to consider that because he's gonna sell a ton of jerseys a ton of It's and this team is struggling to compete with the Rams in that market and getting a guy like Bray even for a year or two. He still says he wants to play to his 45 or Beyond getting him for a year or two ago a long way toward helping the Chargers establish a footprint analysis. We've been on the charger strain since the beginning for Tom Brady. Not sure what's going to happen will be exciting to watch it. Okay, let's pivot Ron Rivera became the second quarter by our coach fired this season who's going to be the third and will there be another firing you think during the season? I don't know. There's going to be another one during a season full. Of course, we didn't expect. Under there to get fired during the season. There are plenty of guys who are on the hot seat. I think Pat's drummer is going to be gone when the season's over for the Giants. I think Freddy kitchens needs to be very concerned about his future in Cleveland. I think one year's enough for them to come to the conclusion that he's butting up against the ceiling that he's just not going to be able to bust through in the models Garrett incident and it doesn't help when it's time to figure out is touching the right guy for the job. And now it Rivera's available Pat with a month to go some of these teams are considering. Hey, is there an upgrade out there Ron Rivera has he got that they need to consider. Enter and all due respect is ready kitchens, but between Rivera and kitchens, I'm taking Rivera seven days out of a week. All right. Well, that's most of the days of the week. I'm guessing. Mr. Florio. You can listen to them in the morning. You can listen to his podcast. You can read about them on pro football soccer Legend your pies on did you see the Irishman? Yeah, I said I'd watch the last hour of it. That's a fight man. Yeah that did for three hours three and a half hours. What does the human being do for more than three hours at a time other than sleep right. I watch the hours long. I did it. I want a lot of vitamins were had but I did in one sitting you Italians. I'll tell you what you guys had your hands in everything in this country's history. Hey, let me take a book is awesome to I read the I read the book earlier this year and I highly recommend the book. The book is better than idea, sir. It's always better than the movie but I heard you paint houses is a great great book and the movies where I see nothing so far has been really good. I just can't find time to watch the last hour. I would like to let you know that on today's podcast Pat makgeolli show 2.0. We interviewed Michael franzese in an hour-long conversation. He was a made man in the Colombo Colombo family during that time. He said it old Frankie is lying about it. He didn't kill Hoffa so there seems to be some lies being told in that whole thing, but I enjoyed the entertainment level. Have a lot we gotta get to a break. You got to get to a podcast. I can't thank you enough. Ladies and gentlemen pro football talks Mike, Florida. Hey, bro, we are being joined now by the best ball Striker I've ever seen University of Texas grad handsome opera singer Baltimore Ravens kicker has the highest field goal percentage in the history of the NFL ladies and gentlemen big trust Justin Tucker. What a stirring in Thanks, man. Thanks for having me. Hey, I tried my best. How are you feeling? You got to be living large. You hit a beautiful ball to get a big win for your Ravens team. That was a slug Fest in a downpour this past weekend. Yeah, man, we're all stuck coming into this game. We knew the you know, the stakes are high and you know, we're starting to play December football and everything that we're working for you. I mean, you know, you've been a part of some very very good teams yourself, you know, you get to a point in the season where everything Starts to matter more and more and more each and every day. So to come out of this game against a very very good and talented 49ers team and for us to put together a complete game and get a win is definitely Big Time For Us heading into December. Hell, yeah, man, you guys are crushing it in all three phases. I mean granted Sam Cooke doesn't show up much done to get called much. But when he does he executes at a very high level. I mean your team right now is hot and that there was a candid moment that was caught on the sidelines between Harbaugh and Lamar we're live. Our was basically being told by hard by that. Hey in 20 years from now 15 years from now kids are going to be wearing the number eight all over the place because of you and then he said that's why they love you and he said I love you to Cochise why I said they but I also love you. It seems like your team's chemistry right now is at an all-time high for Mark Ingram to everybody else. It feels like that team in you guys really care about each other. That's an X Factor that I don't think it's talked about enough. Definitely dude. Yeah, this is a Brotherhood man. This is a family as much as I've been a part of in my time. Playing professional football man. I've been a been lucky enough to be a part of some really really great teams, you know got a chance to win a Super Bowl my rookie year and this team that you know, we have right now has all the makings and all the potential to do great things. You know, it's and it also helps that we we all genuinely care about each other, you know with what we're doing on the field and off the field as well. I mean, you know stuff that's not going to be talking about nearly as much as what Doing on the field is you know this time of year Thanksgiving, you know and Christmas coming up, you know the stuff that guys are doing off the field like Brandon Carr with you know, holiday helpers and lip buddies and you know, that's just one example, I could probably come up with like a at least a dozen of them. But you know, if one guy has an event and we're trying to give back to his community, you know, and they asked hey who's available who can come and support there will be you know. 20 guys at least at each one of these events that you know, one of our teammates is putting on and I think that speaks to the camaraderie that we have the Brotherhood that we share and you know, when you have that in addition to you know, the talents of the guys like Lamar Jackson and Marshall Ian and Earl Thomas and Sam Cooke and you know, all you add that all together and you have a chance to do something really special and Justin Tucker. I mean, I'll let you do that. I got you what has been the biggest difference in Lamar Jackson you think from last year to this year aside from your team buying in and getting the three tight ends and making it much different style of offense just personally both on the field and off the field. What is Lamar Jackson change from last year to this year. He has captivated the world right now many are considering him the best player on the planet right now the most athletic person he walks on any field. What does he change the most you think in the last year that you've seen from inside a locker room? Yeah, I would say first of all I would certainly agree with you. That he is absolutely one of the most dynamic players I've ever had the privilege of seeing up close and in person, you know some of the stuff he's doing week in and week out is you know, it's unbelievable. I feel like every single week he's got, you know, at least one or two or three plays where you know, the whole stadium is just shocked at what he's doing but you know the I don't really know if there's a, you know some significant difference from last year to this year. I mean You look at last year. We won what like Ada or seven out of our last like eight or nine games or whatever the numbers are, you know, and that's largely, you know due to the fact that Lamar Jackson is playing really well for us, you know, so as far as there being any sort of significant difference from last year to this year, you know, I I don't know man. I just saw he's I think from the moment he came in he was playing Well, and you know, like you said it seems like we're you know as an organization doing so much to bring out the best, you know, not only in him but everybody around him and you know this whole team so yeah, man, I I'll just leave it at that. I think he's a winner and he's he started proving that right off the bat and he's obviously continuing to do so this year. It's really cool to see up close and in person that's Before to see a guy hasn't changed especially with all the success and it's only going to keep continuing. I couldn't even fathom the amount of commercial opportunities. He's going to get this upcoming offseason. He's about to get broken off by everybody and he I don't think it's gonna matter because of how athletic he is. Let's talk about you a little bit. You're going to be a Hall of Famer and that's something that is not easy to accomplish as a kicker your guy who has stepped up in big situations and been able to rise to the occasion, which is very important in a kicking world the difference between good and great and kicking his consistency. You've been the most consistent guy in the history of the NFL. FL what is going through your mind before you kick a ball or you completely empty brand or you have thoughts and triggers that you're thinking about? Yeah, man, you know it kind of varies from it kind of varies from kick to kick to be perfectly honest, you know, sometimes I might be feeling just a little bit more whatever those feelings are, you know, I could be feeling nervous or even scared or excited or confident or a combination of all of those things all at the same time in varying degrees from kick the kick. You know, I've been I've been saying this for the last however long all of those feelings there. They're important to acknowledge that there are there so you can put them aside and focus on the task at hand at the end of the day. The only thing that really matters in those moments is hardly what you're feeling but it's those 1.3. Some odd seconds between the snap the hold in the kick and just putting the ball through the uprights. Oh and you know that's it's a little bit easier said than done, you know, you can you know, you can talk about, you know focusing but you you have to focus on focusing. It's like this super meta concept that you know, I think the true greats that have played this position or you know anything similar to it, right like you know that like the greatest kickers. Of all time like the morn Anderson's and adamant Aires and the greatest closers and baseball like Mariano Rivera and you could you could go on and on with you know, the guys who perform well in quote unquote clutch situations crunch time situations, you know, I think every single one of those guys would probably say something similar, you know, there's you know, there's feelings you got to put them aside and you just got to focus on your Technique. Eek, you know focus on the action and not the consequence and we've been fortunate enough to do that at a high enough level where we've converted and I emphasize. We you know Morgan cock Sam Cooke and and myself and everybody blocking for us over the years. We've made a lot of kicks because we've you know, kept it as simple as possible, but it's that whole simple as not easy thing. Yeah. Absolutely. I think that was by the way nice little trip into the brain there. The guy who is going to be you're going to be studied in the future. I hope you know that and that's something that I assume you appreciate and enjoy your in the moment. You can't really think about it going out for that Niners game winner. It seemed like there was a little left to right wind. What was the thought going in there? Yeah, so we pick out a small Target line through the uprights based on everything that we can gather in pregame and throughout the game for that matter. So going to the left of our bench pretty much the whole game. There was a driving rain with a left-to-right wind. What's actually kind of in a sense kind of nice about the fact that it was raining consistently throughout the game as you can see the which direction the wind is going. And normally you can't do that in our Stadium. You just kind of have to feel it and hope that you're right when you line one up and you know, try to kick it through so being able to see which direction the the raindrops are flying across the uprights certainly helped us in picking are aiming point but we have you know this - of jumbotrons on either end of the stadium and when we're kicking field goals. They have a Graphic put up on there. That just says M&T Bank Stadium and there's you know, the it's a like a black background with white lettering and Sam and I picked out the right edge of the D, which would have been the left third of the uprights. So given the conditions with you know, the rain and the field was pretty chewed up at that point. It's just about staying light on your feet getting your AIDS in and out of the ground with the plant foot contacting The Sweet Spot in the ball as best as possible and trying to hit that right edge of the letter D there on the scoreboard and that's you know, that's that's what we did and we got out of there with a you know, a very big win for this program. Yeah, massive when I don't mean it's small Miss small aim small Miss small. That's the whole game. I love that we Vinny and I say him a drunk guys, but I definitely Hymns. Sorry for interrupting.

That's something that I don't think a lot of people know about your holders like your caddy and a holder can make it go and miss a kick for you two. I don't think a lot of people know that I explained that during the Alabama kick this past week in the ball was leaning towards the kicker. He's handicapping that kicker at a massive right there. Well, I mean, yeah, you're absolutely right when you say the the kicker or the holder rather is similar to the you know, that have a caddy on the golf course. I mean when you have a guy, you know, like You have a kind of like myself. I'm like a, you know bouncing like a balloon on a string type of personality, you know, and then Sam absolutely balances me out and you know having having those just the personalities, right, you know having that balance out there is important, you know, like Sam will you know out on the practice field he'll be he'll either fire me up or call me down or whatever he needs to do to get me to put the ball through the Most and you know Sam being able to you know, Sam just being that guy and also being incredibly skilled at what he does as a you know, this as a punter and a holder, you know, that's not like a 80/20 job. It's a you know, it's a 100 100 job Sam being able to catch with his hands in poor conditions and spot the ball consistently. Only you know with each and every kick is something that I don't think any of us around here and take for granted and I certainly do not well, you know, the wolf pack is very impressive over there you Cox and cook our a tag team had triple a triple threat. That is honestly something that hasn't been matching this NFL. It's been fun to watch a couple quick questions for you. Let you go Anthony to go. Yo here digs was wondering if you go to Texas you just automatically get Matthew McConaughey's number. You know, it's funny. I did I've met him a couple times super nice guy very down-to-earth really really cool and met him a couple of times in Austin at you know, various events, like he and Mack Brown and Jack Ingram have this great charity group Mac Jack McConaughey, and I've been to their event over a weekend and the work that they do is really really great, you know, helping a lot of kids out, but, you know got getting a chance to meet him a kind of shoots a bolt. With with him a couple of times and even at practices when I was playing at Texas, he would you know, he would come around and be at practice and share word with us, but you know having had a chance to meet him meet him a handful of times and then this preseason running into them in Washington, which I don't know. I don't know I need to ask him about that. Like how are you a fan of the the Washington Redskins? You know, you're a you're a Texas guy like that doesn't add up to me. Well, we'll have to figure that one out. Are you questioning McConaughey? I believe that I am. Yeah, we're gonna have to we're going to have a conversation about that but no having a having a having chance to you know, meet him and you know know that he is a supporter of the Texas Longhorns and everybody that's come through there. It's really cool man. That's beautiful Tasha might want to know because it has been talked about a lot a lot a lot but it has been mentioned a couple times. You're an incredibly talented Opera. Or is that something could you do any style of singing and are you going to release a record or to you know the whole me singing opera and everybody wants to tag along or you know add on to that the he sings opera and seven different languages and I just want to put it out there, you know, cuz you guys have like a massive following so maybe this will actually stick this time because I've said it a couple of times before but being able to sing in like a the classical Style. It's you know, people just want to say sing opera but it's really if I wanted to get specific and Technical I would say it's the bel canto style of singing and singing in that style in 7 different languages is actually like super common. Like it's actually probably the standard it would probably be closer to eight languages and like so if if I was at you know while I was at the University of Texas taking voice lessons and earning My degree in music and all that stuff, right? I could be walking through the butler School of Music and swing my backpack in a circle and I would hit 10 musicians that are like significantly more talented than I ever could be. So I think the fact that I happen to kick a kick a ball straight A lot of the time and seeing in what people think is like a lot of languages. I guess. It's kind of I guess it's pretty cool. I did a lot of people that are better at singing or music than you but you didn't hit a single person. That's probably the best of all time at a different thing and also do that stop underselling yourself. I can't even speak seven different accents and languages. Well, you know, you might be right with part of that like yeah, like I'm not gonna I don't think many of the other music students at Texas were as good at kicking a ball as I was. Could you sing like, let's say Say whenever you're done here and what 10 years however long it is an old Justin Tucker wants to do a country album. Is that something that you see in your horizon, or are you done with it only to do it for special occasions? I'm kind of just going wherever the wind takes me at this point man, you know one foot in front of the other and every other cliche I could come up with and I say, you know, wherever the wind takes me that's usually where ever my son Easton and my wife Amanda are you know wanting to go and oftentimes? It's Chick-fil-A One support lay, so I'm just going to go to go to Chipotle get quesadillas and guac was with when my little guy and enjoy that as you know as that becomes more of a More and more of a thing towards the quote-unquote back nine of my career, but it's funny, you know over the last like year. I don't know why but over the last year I've been asked more and more about the end of my career and I'm like dude. I'm so hopefully I'm still on like the front nine, you know, I'm still chasing the you know, like the goat Adam and Morton and you know, John Carney like Matt Stover Phil Dawson those guys all you know put Other 20 plus years of high high quality football mean. Yeah, I'll just I'll just keep I'll keep singing in the in the car and in the shower until I'm you know at your 20, you know, knock on wood that I knock on wood. If you're with me man, maybe I can get their way. I can't thank you enough when you do that album. I'm excited for it. I don't care what year it is. I'll probably be retired again at that point, but ladies and gentlemen best kicker in the game a guy who wins game. Ames is going to have to win some here down the stretch. I assume it's going to get close. Good luck in the playoffs Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker. Thank you, buddy. Thanks for having me bro here. Hey, man, you still there? Yeah, you look thinner than you've ever looked is that I look I look thinner. See ya fitter. I should say fitter instead of film better. Yeah. I'm still I'm still at like 180 3.0 man. I know maybe it's I've been I've been trying new stuff like trimming up the beer to certain way, you know. That probably that was it. That's it. Alright, thank you. Talk. Appreciate you. All right, you gotta Pat later, dude. Yeah, he's so good at kicking. Yeah, you gotta focus on focusing. I think we just talked about this yesterday. Literally. Yeah, they literally just talked about this yesterday because we did the next foul ball tossing and a lot of people are asking how many takes was it was seven is that it was seven takes and the first six I was just throwing it right. I was just throwing it trying to get it in and then on the seventh one, I was like, alright actually try to get it in here like that. Was like actually try to get in there. So you tell yourself to actually Focus. That's a very interesting thing to hear him say that because it literally just happened two days ago. What a good conversation with that guy by the way, he's going to be the country musician at some point. Somebody's got to talk them into it. Might as well might as well. He's from Texas. He has the look but a ball cap on him for sure. He in the offseason he kick balls and make a few million singing country songs. So matter sell it to everyone in Baltimore Baltimore we weren't in country until That's or trigger. That's unbelievable started singing. He is so good at kicking loss. So good at it, you know every time he goes out there. It's going to be a big and that's and when he misses it's big news, like when he misses he actually has to have a press conference about correct like the last couple times. He's missed they've called him in for press conferences. Like what happened. He's like, I just miss it. What are you are you? Okay? Are you okay? That's what he missed an extra point or something last year and he literally had to have a press conference about why he missed it. He was like, I don't know man. I'm sorry. I'd like 99.9% Sam Cooke very good. Morgan Cox. Very good that Baltimore Ravens seem very very very good there at Buffalo this weekend. He's gonna have some tough conditions up their bills. Mafia. Buffalo is plus five and a half this weekend against the Ravens. How do we feel about it? I don't like it. You like Buffalo plus 5 and 1/2 think so. All right. Let me hear why I don't know if I have read Baltimore big spread last week. I feel like it could be a kind of a similar game bad conditions and buffalo tight Buffalo plays everyone tight Josh. Down look good last week five and a half. A lot of points. It is was five and a half Point home dog. I don't know buffaloes been very good. Yeah, they have been very good under the radar sneaky good to write everybody including us. We didn't talk about him that much as much as we probably should have because we have a lot of fans and muffled. Yeah. I want to know we appreciate the bills Mafia always give a lot of credit the bills Mafia who stuck with this team and it seems like this year. It's all paying off for them. It seems like the Buffalo Bills are in actual Squad now granted Jerry world was up in arms are whenever they get the wind down there, but they just - Allen's playing. Well, that defense is good. If that defense can stop Lamar Jackson then it's going to be close game, right? That's kind of the way it goes. But if you can't stop Lamar Jackson and by stopping Lamar Jax, I mean slow him down, right? You're not going to stop. I mean last we get a hundred and a hundred and they slowed him down technically. So he's gonna do well six minute 30 second drives to and everything like that. I mean, it's just it's only a matter of time before Lamar Jackson pops one off, but that Buffalo Bills team has been playing very well up there. Do I really do? I think the Ravens are Six points better. Yes. Yeah, but can the Ravens have a down week after an emotional game against the 49ers Act and the bills have three more days to prepare possibly plus 5 and a half is a lot. I'm not betting it. I'm gonna wait for meals or 14th against the rush to so I could see them having a lot more problems against this team than we think the bills are 14th against Russia. Okay, so that means Ravens probably going to do. Well number one Raven hammer and Ravens Ravens are 4-1 and one against the spread away games as well great stats boys. He's made my choice. I just flipped completely then 10 seconds. I interrupt this incredible conversation to let you know that Mark re this selling app has made it super easy for real people to sell and ship their unused things.

Use my card the Colts claimed a new kicker Chase McLaughlin from the 49ers who was in relief of Robbie Gould the Patriots also put in a claim for him, but the Colts are higher up in the waiver due to their record. So are the Patriots wanted him because of Nick folks injury then had Chi for bath who no idea how he got that job now there without a kicker going into the weekend. Unless Vulcan get healthy. I'm not sure what they're going to do. I'll be excited to see Maybe Jake Bailey their punter will kicked. I'm not a hundred percent sure, but for the Colts I put my ear to the ground phone some people and I was like, excuse me, don't you think I should be told like isn't this something? I should I go on. I'm one of the only people that go on a lot of Big Show's and talk about the Indianapolis Colts on a regular basis. They should something I'm pretty well don't you guys think that you should give me a heads up if you guys are thinking about bringing in another kicker and I was told no which I respect and appreciate it. I heard that in Terry's knee. He has had an injury that sparked up so they were like, all right, we have to do something but they did cut another player to make room for this guy on the roster. So if they're going to cut viteri or send them to IR or something like that, they would have cut the other guy to make room for the roster. I have not talking nobody's given me anything by the way, which I don't know if I respect her hate. I think I respect it, I guess because you hate rats you respectfully hate it. Yeah, I respectfully. Hey, I respect it, but I hate They're not giving me any intel. I've not got a text from the GM which I would expect if we're going to make moves like this, but I have not gotten to I didn't text Vinny. I don't want to hear I don't want to put him in a situation. So I don't know anything from anything. All I do know is that they would have cut another guy to make room for another player. If they're going to make a move to either send him to IR or gonna whatever was going to happen. I would assume that that won't happen unless they just want to get rid of the guy which the other guy which I'm not on percent sure, but for me, this is just a statement that Vinny's knee is Hurt we all have seen the performance this year has not been up to Adam Vinatieri standards now granted this past week. He had three misses two of them being blocked only one of the block was his fault. The other one had got in the back field before he even got a chance to kick it basically the 55 Yard or you don't see a lot of people hit 55 yards and hit that ball. Well just drifted to the right. So the Miss was bad. He's had a lot of message this year though. This has not been a Terry's best work. I will not Disagree with everybody that's saying that but in this particular case, I have no idea how it's going to turn out. I have absolutely no clue. What do we got left on me once together for ya for weeks left in the season, you're bringing a guy. I have no idea. It's very interesting about seven thousand tweets came to me as soon as it was announced last night. Like well, what do you say about this? What do you say about this? To be honest? I have no idea. I've no clue what's happening and nobody's giving her any information which I hate. Yeah. I mean Vinnie had an MRI on his knee. So it's not like it's not like this is a movie where has my knees Now granted my only hobby is a child was kicking a soccer ball against the wall the side of my house, right? I didn't play video games. I didn't watch TV. I never seen a Disney movie until a couple of years ago. I mean my only hobby was just blasting a soccer ball off the side of my house. So let's assume that my knees have gotten more reps in kicking things then possibly any human in the history of existence and that's that's just what I did for fun was just blast a ball off a wall for hours at a time. Time and granted it helped me immensely. I mean I kick a soccer ball a hundred twenty-four miles an hour that got me a lot of places. I got to travel the globe playing soccer strictly because I had two strong dislike don't always have the best conditioning but they would bring me in late in the second half and say hey pal need a big one out of yeah, I would do that. I got a chance obviously to kick a 65-yard field goal. Mrs. 70 yard field goal coming out of high school because of this and got a scholarship to West Virginia go and do my thing Miss couple kicks there and make a lot of kicks Miss couple get the NFL punt made enough money to take care of everybody in my life. Basically so that hobby of mine definitely help but my knees took a real beating through this my hips whenever I was in the NFL a year five my right hip I thought I tore my hip flexor. I guess. I just had a bruise on there something like that. It came up your body whenever you're doing something that's so explosive. A lot of people underestimate the amount of explosion that is needed to kick a ball to generate enough Force to get a ball to propel off of your foot in travel 60 yards 50 yards things like that. It's a lot of Explosion. Yes, the thought of kicking a ball is easy ninja the thought of not just ninja by the way ninja speaks for a bunch of people that have been talking about football forever because commentators that made it sound like it's easiest thing because in comparison to all the other positions in football, it is much easier physically than all those positions. You're not ramming your head in the things you're not blocking people. You're not tackling people on a regular basis. You're just kicking a ball but to do that act it takes a lot of explosion. That's why you take the Rich gel and you say here's a football throw it and they throw well no gang is rolling back and they catch it. It's like okay. Here's a golf club hit a golf ball. They can hit a golf ball pretty far. They can't control it. Like it can go a little bit of a distance get my frisbee. They can throw them a baseball they can play catch but you ask them to kick the ball or punt the ball they stink at it. That's just the way it is. So to say the kicking is easy. I think although the act of it is potentially easy in comparison to other positions of football, but to be good at it. You have to have a lot of explosions Ocean you have to be able to move something at a rapid rate and to do that a lot of your joints take a beating. That's why Vinatieri kicking here in what 46 years old is so impressive to me the fact that his joints have been able to handle to wear and tear in the beat up to get to this age. Jeff Eagles. Did it Morten Andersen? Did it Gary Andersen did it these guys that can play in this explosive position that by the way once you do it, you have to go sit for probably Thirty maybe forty five minutes and come back out and be explosive again. Much like a I don't even know what it's like. I don't even know the comparison. Really. I don't think there is a comparison to it. So the fact that his joints have held up. He's had a lot of surgeries that surgeries on his knees yet surgeries on his hips. These are things he rehabs he's warm up process. It's something that's like two hours long even for practice. He has like a two-hour long routine that he has to do so he can go out and kick and not muscles and ligaments tear apart. So the fact that his knee is hurting is something that I would have expected years ago. So now I think we're potentially seeing the residual effects and I think hindsight we can look back and assume that there might have been something wrong with him. His body wasn't generating or acting a full cylinder like we it has in the past, but for this the MRI on the knee the year that he's had. I mean Ven and Terra is going to have to have a real conversation with himself, and I am not envious of him in that moment where he's going to have to talk and maybe it'll come back. Maybe he'll dominate next year. Maybe he'll do all that but for me. If military's knee is very hurt and he's not able to kick the rest of the year and Chase McLaughlin's the kicker. I think what we should all do is just thank Adam Vinatieri for his service for everything. He's done. I'm excited for his future. I'm not going to try to lean him any different direction. I don't know what the hell he's going to do. But I am a little bit worried that they brought in another guy off of waivers because that probably means that he is not able to go this weekend which could potentially lead into others, or maybe it's just one weekend. He takes off and he comes back and finishes thing off. I don't We'll see how it all works out. And then on the other side for the Patriots like they have no kicker Nick Folk the game before he had the appendicitis or whatever was tool for and that was against Dallas in a close game when the Patriots offense is struggling and they're winning these close games. Like that's a real issue for that's a for the first time in a long time. They have a real issue at specialty. So glaring issue. That's a big that they've been through a couple now, right and Gostkowski was getting booed out of the building up there because he missed a couple kicks turns out he's got like no ligaments in this year's left me or anything like that. So he's battling as well and You're talking about half inches of things were talking about half inches of things happening in milliseconds whenever you have one thing off or one thing hindering you a little bit if you just hit the ball a little fat, it's a mist of the left you hit the ball a little thin. It's a mist of the right so you got to really be humming at things and it's now granted. These are all excuses. I'm making for other people to step up and kick the ball through the uprights is something that they have to do. That's what they're being paid to do. But one of you start thinking about the minut little things that are happening, especially whenever you're talking about with something with such detail and injury can really effect Things in I don't know then he has not said this he's not said to me. I'm assuming that the knee is hurt. Probably all year. He took a couple weeks off in training camp because of me has been hurting and maybe we're seeing the effects of it but I would assume he's not kicking this weekend because he bringing cheese McLaughlin it also just magnifies how small the pool of good guys available as because we don't see new guys coming out. It's a guy like, oh, he's had two other stops this year. He's done this this year. It's not just like some random guy coming out of nowhere getting an opportunity you get into this kicking Carousel, you know, I mean getting this kicking Carousel where where you're in a pool of kickers that they bring in for a workout. It's always the same people and then they pick whoever had the best day. Okay, you're coming. Let's hope you get hot. Let's hope you get hot and if you don't get hot pool will take you out will bring in another with it. It just kind of like you're finding your guy. I mean, it's happened everywhere anytime you see a kicker leave. There's a good chance. It's going to take one or two before they find one that they get stuck on Graham. Cano was on the three teams before he got hot with the Panthers now Joey slides there. Grandma knows probably have to find a new home down at the the Buccaneers obviously so many they've Problems the Steelers had problems before they found Boswell. I mean a Patriots having problems this year. I mean, it's very difficult to find because in these workouts in on the internet, you cannot simulate what's going to happen. You cannot simulate that a game with millions of dollars millions of fans things happen. You can't simulate it. It's all in between a years every once in a while guys going to get hot everyone's well guys going to get cold. That's why you can even see Tiger Woods has droughts. That's just the way it goes. Whenever you're dealing with such small things that just have to go. So wrong for it to be a failure. I mean these types of things are going to happen people take it for granted, but there is nothing like having a good kicker that you know, when he goes out is going to is going to hit the cake. There's nothing like it. Yeah. It's so nice college football NFL are all footballs. If you have a guy that you're like this guy's going to put the ball through last year for the Steelers Boswell had an off year and it was the first time in Boswell's career that lot of Steelers fans when he would come on if you're like God. No, here we go this year though Boswell's hitting ball. Well back he comes on. It's like, alright. We got a guy. Soccer they feel like that. There's only a few kickers in the league where I think they're their team and their fan base is like, I we got a guy Dan Bailey by the way, he was not picked up by a couple teams whenever he was going through the Gypsy had a heck of her career with the Cowboys he gets cut there. He goes to work out some teams. They don't sign them. So I mean, he wasn't hitting the ball. Well now he's back to hitting the ball well for the Vikings and that's going to help them down the line. I'd assume but it's tough you get rid of a guy Jason Meyers who's with the Seahawks right now. He was a pro bowler for the Jets last year a pro bowler and they just let him walk out of the building and now they got their problems are unlike their kicker five. They got insurance salesman kicking balls and the Seahawks. Excuse me, you're just gonna let that guy walk out of the building will take him. It's a tough position to make sure that you're secure in very tough the Patriots got no they don't remember one. They practice Wednesday without a kicker. I love it. Yeah, we'll find somebody what if Julian Edelman is kicking quick question about kicking. Yeah buddy his leg speed something that's recorded by analytic people. I don't know. Always do like ball speed off the flame swing speed for golf. Yeah, that's what I was thinking of it like speeds. That's where it all comes from. That would be kind of closure. Yeah explosion. Exactly. Yeah. So for me, I was big legs big guy because I couldn't touch my toes. There's some people though that are like super levers where they utilize the science and have long legs of Thomas More stead of the Saints. His hips are at my chest like his legs are so long. So he utilizes these big ol legs and gets it going for me was all just Brute Force. Let's see how fast we can go probably also why my knees just right? Justin Tucker you see in those pictures we were showing earlier his heel was like touching the middle of his back when he's kicking. Yeah, you got to get that whip whip gotta get that leg to whip. Whip if I was taking this your brother. That was a very real possibility. I would thank God you did that, you know how to fix some heart company. Stop me if you've heard this before But I hate Stephen Singer. You heard me. I hate Stephen Singer. There's this guy in Philadelphia you've been hearing about if you've been to Philly you may have seen the Billboards or heard him on the radio. I hate Steven Singer. What does this even mean?

You can see while the other Jewelers hate the guy. Let's go to Tommy order in Cleveland, Tommy. What's going on? Hey, boys, how are you doing today? All right, how are you doing? Good, man. This is the to all the pittsburghers in the room. I'm Cleveland born and raised Pat. You said it earlier in the weekend on early in the week on get up that if you're born in Cleveland, you're born to hate Pittsburgh and vice versa. Yep. My problem. Is there with a guy like Duck a guy like Yugi you a guy like James Conner and a coach like Mike Tomlin boy, I'm having trouble hitting this T-Rex team walking through this voice. I know it's probably difficult especially like if your team for yet again had so many high expectations and broke your heart and you see a guy like Doc Hodges Quack Like come out of nowhere. He was living on a on a couch there for a while now, he has a roommate who's the University of Pittsburgh's video guy. I mean, it's a good story. He's Can his Rounds Around Pittsburgh right now? He's a Let it Loose type guy. It is very hard. No matter who you are to hate. The colleges in the Pittsburgh Steelers right now. Juju obviously is JuJu. He's going to be the most famous NFL guy on the internet before no time here James Conner, not only defeated cancer, but he's putting on for his hometown and he's also balling out. It's very hard to hate to steal his only reason why you could possibly hate Steelers is strictly because you hate people from Pittsburgh and now The Cleveland people answer is very easy to do so. I don't know what you're supposed to do pile. I just know that if you want the NFC North to have a good representative you got the Ravens, but at the Steelers can get hot and getting the hunt. They potentially get a wild-card spot. That's insane to think about and you also have to be a bit envious at Mike Tomlin can do all of this with out Juju without James Conner without Ben Roethlisberger. They're able to do with a guy who Quack Like swaying from an FCS school and everybody win as a bronzer and he got to be like that first you Jax. Now this I mean what are we gotta go through bit slippy? Yeah. I was going to say, you know, it's funny. You mentioned that with my car one because he's doing this with practice squad guys, but our guys wearing t-shirts you get some his daughter and then it's just real fresh Tommy. I can appreciate that. By the way, I think a lot more people are level-headed than we can imagine. Yeah. Yeah, go ahead and I don't like what that guy tried to do. He tried to get the eggs and I to disparage our own team. Give us a reason. Give me a reason to hate this team. I don't appreciate that all you think he tried to set you up turn. Yeah. Well disparage our team on our own. We'll need you for about those my big problem with Mason. Not only the way he throws a football but he was just had a very hateable face and personality. We don't need that for Pittsburgh. I'll need that. We're already hateable enough. Hey, listen, take a walk out of South Side about 3 a.m. The only Pittsburgh as much as you possibly can found her scar. He'll stop by. What did you just say Donner? Scour Hill? Yeah Squirrel Hill, but if you go to the casino, they'll take a couple hundo from you to I mean, there's a lot of reasons hate Pittsburgh in Doc Hodges is definitely not one of them. He's somebody you love I like it for the Steelers. Um, and by the way doesn't get enough appreciation even with the winds that he's been having that have been very difficult to manage. You got people in Pittsburgh with pretty notable phones. Like I don't like Tom when but I don't like pumpkin but it's like, all right, Daddy's hate those people Tomlin. No, no. No the people that say they don't like Tom I'd take a bullet for that man. I thought you doing color you want to say anything for the Niners? He's my second father, Callaway and Kansas. It's always a year ago guys Calloway's Mighty Ducks. He was a good kid right Conway jockey. I gotta hang up on me because I was wrong. What's up, dude? Hey, how's it going guys? Hope you guys had a good holiday. Definitely coughing that Mary Lloyd Christmas shirt for a Christmas party. I don't know sure that if you wait much longer, you're gonna get that for any holiday parties make it I'm on the website this second actually cuz like I know you go fast two-part question real quick. What are your thoughts on the Chiefs winning and Foxborough? I know like we are defense has really picked it up lately and our offense. I mean, we have all the tools. What's it going to take for the Chiefs to beat the Pats? And who do you think personally is going to be in the Super Bowl? Great question Calloway right now. I like the Seattle Seahawks because they're getting hot but the Packers have been my pick for a long. I'm which can still happen. Even with Aaron Rodgers stating that hey I can see hole 18 right now which by the way has been like yeah, he's going to retire soon or whatever the guys been a leak like 45 years. I do do people expect them to play another 50 or whatever. He's just stating at these types of opportunities. They're going to maybe come to a stop at some point. We got to take advantage of it which by the way might be motivating his team to let them know like hey, this doesn't always happen. I don't know how much longer I'm going to be playing for be able to play for so, I think it's a motivating thing. So I'm not Way out on the Packers, but for me the Seahawks seem like a team that is gonna be tough to beat especially now that I've heard Russell Wilson mic'd up on game day. I think that's gonna be a tough Squad to be the special with the Eternal optimism. They are an underdog going against the Rams on Sunday Night Football if I were you I would go ahead and take it out and bet on the Seahawks. So for me, I have the Seahawks in the NFC for no other reason other than I like them right now the Packers I think are going to be very good. I think the Saints obviously are very good. The Niners are going to be difficult, but in the AFC I got the Ins right now strictly because it is December 5th in the Patriots offense is not figured it out yet. They have looked amateur the although they have won 10 games in the last game that they lost they were in and they played terribly so you can never bet against the Patriots Kansas City Chiefs have a lot of weapons have a lot of things but they've lost games with a lot of weapons. So I'm just not sure about them. I'm excited to see what happens in Foxborough because it's damn near impossible to win there. But the Chiefs have shown that they could do in the past with a quarterback. That wasn't as good as matching pumps. Oh, That being said I have no idea what bet against Tom Brady just won't do it. But for me, I feel like the Ravens are probably the AFC Super Bowl representing these flaws. All right. I can't thank you enough for listening to the show. Wherever you may be if you're an Indianapolis, I've heard that fox big noon show is going to be an indie, you know, if you want to go to bat for your boy. Feel free. I feel like I try my best to deliver every single day with the boys for you guys. And if we aren't doing that just know that we're working every single day. Try to deliver better content.

Also, if you're a Bears fan, I'm watching the game right now. It's the second quarter midget risky isn't looked at bad the Bears. What kind of good Is he Crowley at eating a little bit to six and six teams battling it out Troy Aikman looks like a stud Joe Buck's obviously smooth as the other side of the pillow.

Cheers Tasha met play some independent music.
On today’s show, Pat and the boys are joined by friend of the show, owner and creator of Pro Football Talk, Mike Florio. They discuss Florio’s bombshell on Twitter a few days ago that he has an inkling that Andrew Luck will be the Las Vegas Raiders Quarterback to start the 2020 season, and what the Raiders would potentially have to give up in order to get his rights. Pat also asks Mike whether or not another coach will get fired before the end of the season, and where a possible landing spot for Ron Rivera might be, when Jason Garrett will be fired, and addresses the idea of Tom Brady potentially playing for a different team next year (1:57-12:07). Next, 4x All-Pro, 3x Pro Bowler, Super Bowl Champion, the most accurate kicker in NFL history, Baltimore Ravens Kicker, Justin Tucker calls in. Justin and Pat discuss his game winning kick against the 49ers in the miserable conditions in Baltimore this past weekend, what his mindset and ritual is before he lines up to kick, what he has seen in Lamar Jackson over the last two years and if there is anything he can point that has led to his massive success. He also chats about his relationship with Matthew McConaughey, his potential career as an opera singer, and why this Ravens team has bonded so quickly (12:09-32:40). Pat also reacts to the news that Adam Vinatieri has been dealing with a knee injury for some time and the Colts having to bring in a kicker and what that process is like, and why it magnifies how important having a great kicker is, and gives a couple of thoughts on some of the early lines from this weekend’s NFL games. Also included are a few calls from the radio show including questions about why Browns fans are having a hard time hating Duck Hodges, and whether or not the Chiefs have a shot to knock off the Patriots this weekend in Foxborough. Today’s show is a good one, come and laugh with us. Cheers.
