Transcript

00:00We as a show and obviously our guy Ken Barkley gets a ton of credit for this

00:04And he liked it also Femi was not on the show at this point

00:07And he can celebrating in Las Vegas after a cashed on on NFL honors

00:12But we collectively did this last year as a show with Joe Flacco at a hundred to one now

00:19If you're new to the program, you're like, oh, well Joe Flacco was awesome last year for the Browns

00:23What do you think we bet it after week 16?

00:25No, we bet it after like his first start with the Cleveland Browns

00:28You know when he was literally called off his couch. He was retired

00:32Comes off the couch and start slanging 300-yard games

00:36Eventually taking the Browns to the playoffs. What a frickin story

00:42100 to 1 in one other award market in any other sport. Can you make an insane?

00:49Handicap like Joe Flacco at that point in time when the bet was placed at a hundred to one and the bet

00:57wins

01:01Tell me what it is

01:03This was America's favorite award market. Well, not anymore. It's dead

01:08You know why it's dead because a lot of you people not everybody not everybody

01:14But a lot of you people you bitched and moans

01:19You whined and complained

01:22like babies

01:24Because DeMar Hamlin didn't win

01:27Comeback player of the year and my favorite part about it. You self-righteous

01:33Sanctimonious babies that that complaint this was painted as if it was some sort of personal travesty as

01:40Ric Flair said in 1992 after the Royal Rumble a

01:44miscarriage of justice

01:46That DeMar Hamlin didn't win comeback player of the year. Also, he's like more famous than Taylor Swift. I think he's doing okay

01:54The truth is you weren't upset that Hamlin didn't win because you wanted DeMar Hamlin to win. You're upset because you lost your bet

02:02Because DeMar Hamlin didn't win and Joe Flacco won instead. That's why you bitched and moans

02:08That's why you whined and complained because you lost your bet

02:12Take it from me someone that whines and complains every day when he loses a bet

02:17I know what it sounds like when people do that. Trust me

02:21I know better than anyone and because you people you were so loud so vociferous

02:26So aggressive about it the Associated Press literally changed the rules and the guidelines for the award

02:33I'm gonna read this tweet today from Rob Maddy

02:38Senior NFL writer and insider for the Associated Press and this was the gentleman who this summer

02:44tweeted the new guidelines for comeback player of the year that we have covered painstakingly on this show and

02:51I quote

02:53Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold probably would have been a candidate for the comeback player of the year award

02:58Before the AP issued guidance to voters before the season

03:02Instructing them that quote the spirit of the award is to honor a player who has demonstrated resilience in the face of adversity

03:09by overcoming illness

03:11physical injury or other circumstances that led him to miss playing time the previous season

03:17Maddy adding if he keeps playing at this level

03:20Darnold could end up with another award most valuable player

03:24We could have done without the editorialization at the end there Rob like thank you for your take on Sam Darnold winning

03:29But we didn't need that like just give us give us the facts Rob. I don't need what your thought on MVP

03:35Does anyone think Sam Darnold's gonna win comeback player of the year? What's he coming back from sucking?

03:42Being bad

03:44He was the Niners backup quarterback last season. He wasn't injured. He wasn't overcoming illness. He was overcoming the Adam Gase

03:52He was overcoming Matt rule

03:55That's what he's overcoming. He's not overcoming some serious illness. He didn't like Tara's ACL. He didn't break his arm

04:01He didn't separate his shoulder. He's over. He's overcoming nothing other than playing bad to start his career

04:07We tried to tell you this over the last couple weeks and yet Sam Darnold a couple days ago was the favorite to win this

04:13Award people are betting Sam Darnold people are betting the more Hamlin in

04:192020 not 2023

04:212024 people are betting Kyler Murray. He played last year. What the hell are people doing?

04:27Kyler played last season for Arizona

04:31Femi said something earlier on the on the phone today

04:33I thought was was really good when players get drug-tested at the Combine rook incoming rookies get drug-tested at the Combine

04:40It's an intelligence test. If you fail your drug test at the Combine that you know is coming. You're stupid

04:48This is the betting version of the Combine drug test if you bet Sam Darnold

04:53If you bet to bar Hamlin if you bet Kyler Murray, you're dumb

04:59Sorry, they can't win and I'm not telling you this literally the voters are

05:05The Associated Press is telling you these he literally said Sam Darnold can't win

05:10But we have all these people doing contact Sam Darnold best bet for comeback player of the year

05:13Do you know the rules like spend your money on something more valuable like the Carolina Panthers to win the Super Bowl?

05:21RFK to be elected the next president of the United States

05:24Like flush it down the toilet or Venmo it to me at the Costos if you're gonna waste your money

05:29I'll take it. They can't win
