Rocket mortgage can help you get there for hormone solutions that fit your life well rocket can in producing this extravaganza for the next four hours is Elijah Stewart I I gotta start with week to the NFL.

It kicks off tonight. It's actually refreshing that we don't have to talk about the games anymore from last week and I know Monday turned it into a totally different feel because Tuesday and Wednesday was just spent bashing Russell Wilson bashing the Daniel Hackett and I think I've got all that out of my system by now where I'm ready for week two in the NFL and went to in the NFL kicks off at the massive game if you could find it on Amazon prime now.

Luckily thanks to our boss by gasket. He's on top of things. He got the Amazon Amazon prime account so we will have it in our studio tonight. So when the game gets to kick off at 8:20 PM Eastern. I could ask you watch the game, which is a great concept when you're hosting a national radio show coast-to-coast but this game is enormous tonight and usually you would say I was actor being a cheesy radio guy old for this game went through in the NFL.

Every single game that is played this year.

Inside the AFC was there that were just regards any AFC West team is massive because this division could be the greatest division and the greatest collection of 14s inside one division that we've ever seen.

Now it doesn't mean that everything is illegal smooth sailing and all for these teams are going to be great and I told you numerous times this off-season I had the charge when the AFC West, the cheese, and second, making the playoffs, writers, and third make in the piles and I had the Broncos finishing forth like a respectable record of nine and eight. Maybe they get 10 wins go 10 and seven but be on the outside looking in, and after one week of football and let me just emphasize that once again one week of football were yes we overreact. Yes, we properly react yes we freaked out.

Yes, we give you a logical takes, but after one week. We have seen a separation inside the AFC West where the Broncos are not ready for the big stage fumble in the football which Aponte Williams fumbling the football of Melvin Gordon Russell Wilson not overruling his head football coach in the Daniel Hackett and it shows you that if you take time in Denver and that's why Tony done. She joined us in studio this year you had James Palmer for the edible network covers the Broncos they both said something that resonated with me and agree with me that the Broncos will be good but I still think their year away, and if there want to be a playoff team thereafter quickly rebound off the disaster that was Monday night up against an inferior football team in the Seattle Seahawks but you seen with the Broncos and you saw what the writers last week up against the Chargers where the Raiders offense was sloppy Derek car threw three interceptions. He was a statue is offense aligned stunk. Hunter Renfro I thought was good have a monster season still do.

They gotta get him involved more. It was pretty much as Devante Adams about downs about the Adams but still in some Bizarre Way, Raiders and Chargers games whenever they go up against one another. It always comes down still to one final driver one final possession, but I was disappointed with what I saw from the Raiders up against the Chargers because the charges came out swinging and they allowed you to get back in the game and when you allow a team like the Chargers did to just linger and linger and linger and linger. I need to see that killer instinct from the Raiders to go punch and knockout the Los Angeles Chargers but the Chargers did when the Chargers now will not of Keenan Allen tonight but you look at that offense is a masterful offense Herbert to start exorcist start that offense of line is really good and they invested in it. The last two years. Draft number Sean Slater two years ago drafting Zion Johnson this past year at a Boston College and defensively Brandon Staley last year had a defense and is defensive minded coach and the defense wasn't good. Now a lot of that he was not able to get his fingerprints on that defense. Now we had a full off-season he worked side-by-side with the general manager and Tanta Lesko and they brought in massive upgrades weather was acquiring Khalil back will probably see the debut of JC Jackson tonight in a Chargers uniform. If you follow his social media. He's kind of chirping that he's gonna play tonight. You have Derwin James. He got the contract on which only boasts a as well. I'm a believer of the Chargers but I do think there's a lot of people out there that even though people were questioning Kansas City and Kansas City, week one show Jeff you think were to take a step back because a Tyree kills no longer here. Yeah bleep do we still have one of the best quarterbacks in the sports and Patrick Holmes who is a human eraser. Anytime there's a problem. He just erases that problem. Nine times out of 10, and he put up five touchdowns against the Cardinals team that is in great but they made the playoffs last year there were a good team and they made that look like the varsity up against the JV. It was never a contest so you have a Chargers team now that you can see after one week that there is a separation in the AFC West where yeah the cheese to the charge of the two best teams. Raiders have some work to do in the offense aligned and on the defensive side of the ball. The Broncos have to get everything to gel together bring in a new coach bring in a new quarterback before the Chargers is a massive opportunity tonight with it only being week two to send the big time statement because even though was an encouraging victory and a wonderful victory last week up against the Raiders. It still with and that's important especially in this division. So if you're the Chargers and you could start off the season to Woodall and those two wins come up against two AFC West teams. You put yourself in a very nice and advantageous position early on and also you send a message to the rest of the NFL and inside that division.

This isn't the same old Chargers. This isn't when Philip Rivers was here, or the last two years. Even with what Justin Herbert is done when there's expectations and we fall short. This needs to be a new team.

This needs to be a new identity and this needs to be a new version of the Los Angeles Chargers and it really starts tonight because tonight you're going into arrowhead you're going up against the cheese team that was dominant last week with Patrick Mahon's the defense. Let's give credit to Steve Spagnolo because that defense and Kansas City last year was not good and we've seen ever since winning that Super Bowl. The defense take us a step back and Kansas City and then take another big step back last year as well and I remember that year were's bags, one that Super Bowl with Kansas City. It was actually an IT came on the show after they won the Super Bowl and he said he thought the turning point in that Super Bowl season for the defense was actually the night that my Holmes got hurt and I think you missed like two or three games or whatever it was, and the defense made big plays and they capitalize off that momentum and knew they had to pick up their game because their quarterback was out for a few weeks and you saw that defense molding to championship form where they were never a great defense, but in the NFL. You need to make a timely stop and that Kansas City defense was able to make timely stops in that Super Bowl winning season. The last two years we have not seen a good Kansas City Chiefs defense and in week one and it's only week one they made calamari, who is not a below-average quarterback look like a below-average quarterback. So when I look at this game tonight.

It's a big time statement game even though it's only week two, not only for the Chargers but also for Kansas City and maybe don't use the word statement for Kansas City. Maybe I use a reminder for Kansas City where Kansas City could remind a lot of people in the off-season, or some like Lorenzo really was on this very fine radio program was predicting that the Kansas City Chiefs are going to take a massive step back or maybe the Kansas City Chiefs remind the talk shows. Yours truly, Zach L as shame on you early on for picking the Chargers to win the AFC West. This is a reminder game for Kansas City tonight to remind the rest only just attended last week how good they are. So that's why I'm fascinated by this. And also let's be real. You know what sells in this league offense points flashy style of football and big time quarterbacks.

We got to the top 10 quarterbacks tonight. We know Patrick Bonz is in the top three and Justin Herbert is in the top seven.

Some people think after this year will be in the top five and think about that matchup that we have for probably the next decade.

Assuming these guys are able to stay healthy that you will see at least twice a year. Patrick will Holmes go up against Justin Herbert.

Now I'm not usually this type of talkshow host that compares quarterbacks and says all this is the next Brady.

This is the next Manning because a lot of times when you say all that matchup. That rivalry is going to be the case in the next decade.

People usually wrong and people have been in search of that ever since the Manning Brady rivalry did go away and another reason why that's a sensitive point for me. What I don't like to usually make comparisons that is because those two guys or two of the top five greatest quarterbacks ever do so. Brady number one and pay the Manning easily the top five quarterback of all time to see those two guys go up against one another. It's good to be tough maybe ever again in my lifetime to see who top five quarterbacks in the history of the game up against one another for a decade and meet up in more than a few postseason games. But this case, I don't want Brady's first dresser started to govern the lowest the path to the culture in the same division that the change but in this case, you have my Holmes who people do believe will become an all-time great quarterback and Ryan Harrison played with pay.

The Manning was on the DA show and he said that Justin Herbert's most talented quarterback that he's ever seen, and that was a duty and also the laughable statement of pride.

But that wasn't to that played with Peyton Manning so this has potential to be a rivalry for 10 years may be accomplished on the field that were seeing two of the top 10 quarterbacks of all time and you could tell a bit more confidently with the homes of Herbert Herbert's guy make a postseason you can see these guys go up against one another for the next decade. And that's great for the game and you look at that whole landscape of the AFC Josh Allen Joe Barro Lamar Jackson Patrick Moore Holmes, Justin Herbert, I think about the potential for some of these robberies in some of these high stake games that we've already seen her will continue to see into the future. So this really kicks off what and I don't know how it gets better than this.

On Thursday night in the net this week on Monday night am intrigued by Eagles and the Minnesota Vikings both those two teams are intriguing to me. But this is good to be the best game of the week to sleep and it means the most, and for the Los Angeles Chargers at the time to send the statement were legit this year were Toradol and were more than this division will make the password kick your ass this year and for Kansas City it's a way to remind everyone for the first time the last two years canceling as little motivation.

Kansas City has old chip on their shoulder exactly one that first Super Bowl ever was saying Dynasty dynasty dynasty, they lose in the Super Bowl. Then I get shut out in the second half of an AFC title game where my home just naturally destroyed by that Bengals defense. So on one side it's a statement game for the Chargers and on the other side for Kansas City.

It's just the way that you could wave a maybe flip off the rest of the NFL by saying were not dead yet were not going anywhere, but it's clear so far to me charging cheese to the two best teams in this division. Two of the better teams in the AFC following our conversation clearly as well and tonight there's a lot of maligned just for week two game and I can't wait to see how it's gonna play out out but you have a feel of how these games are to go if you call me up at 855-2124 CBS 855-212-4227 solid Chargers went tonight can tell you're wrong you call me up and you tell me to change her went tonight.

I can't tell you're wrong. I think this would be a lot of points there is good to be alive great quarterback play tonight, but ultimately which defense you step up its badges defense to be able make a timely stop what they did three years ago and will always off-season moves of the Chargers made this year on the defensive side of the ball payoff.

That's what I can't wait to see when we return. It's only week one, but I have a thought on the MVP conversation on a potential non-quarterback winning the award this year will tell you that is on the other side.

He had nine receptions hundred and 84 yards and not only one but two receiving touchdowns. He was dominant. He's the best receiver in the NFL.

That's no disrespect right now to Devante Adams. That's no disrespect to Cooper cop who just won the Triple Crown last year.

That is how highly I think of Justin Jefferson and the scary part is he's only going to get better. This is a do that in year one. 88 receptions for 200 yards and seven touchdowns and that was his rookie year.

We told everyone in those 14s and took receivers in front of me. They're going to pay when he said that on the show. Then last year had 108 receptions, 1616 yards and 10 receiving touchdowns.

Let me add with the head football coach that was antiquated when it came to the offense side of the ball because he was telling his defense defense defenses defense stunk and we knew that the quarterback and the head coach last year refuting all throughout the season to kick off the season we told you what he did on the field and then after the game. The Packers are going up to me. Just give it in words and words and words of installment Aaron Rodgers the rating back to back MVP award winner. He told Justin Jefferson that you were the best player on the field song to try to get ahead of the curve here and I know that no NFL wide receiver has ever won the MVP award. I know it's only week one, but there's no doubt in my mind there's not taken the ear that Justin Jefferson is going to have a mega monster season, we haven't seen a non-quarterback when the MVP award since 2012.

I want to start the campaign today for Justin Jefferson when he NFL MVP, and last year we saw two non-quarterbacks have a shot in the conversation.

Jonathan Taylor was magnificent with the Colts to know when the award and Cooper cop won the Triple Crown.

I'm not a dummy I get that.

This is usually nine times out of 10 of quarterback driven award.

But if Justin Jefferson goes on to have the season that I think he could have. He will be the biggest reason why the Minnesota Vikings will make the playoffs this year and I think the Minnesota Vikings is of the soul. Off-season are going to make the playoffs this year. So I want to start the Justin Jefferson for NFL MVP campaign right here on CBS sports radio and I think it be wonderful if we finally have a non-quarterback when the award for the first time in a decade.

If your bills then you're probably saying bleak. This guy right now we want Josh Allen. If you're Chargers Spaniard probably said the same thing. I know Justin Herbert, but I think it would be cool if we see a non-quarterback when the award and this year if I'm to put all my eggs in one basket on one non-quarterback to win the award. How can I trust Justin Jefferson the most I think running backs. I don't believe the Titans are to be that good. Jonathan Taylor just had a career last year did when the award wide receivers. The RAM just won a Super Bowl so it's good to be then tough for this year and I think the rent that the massive step back at Auslander to be a great team but if Cooper cop didn't win the MVP Ireland stability within one MVP Lodge only is it more this year so I'm going through the potential non-quarterbacks that have a chance, could have a seat at the table for this award and the guy that I keep on going back to his Justin Jefferson was enough.

This is via NFL films. This was a few members of the Green Bay Packers, led by Arun Rogers a metaphor complementing Justin Jefferson after the game when they were changing handshake are like a lot of is "I remember were so that Elijah that's that is Rogers who you know we cannot be happy with the way that game played out because Justin Jefferson essentially entered the game early on, then your Christian Watson drop in the football and there was Arun Rogers whose won the last two NFL MVP's NFL royalty is going to Hall of Fame you have to go out of his way to say that the Justin Jefferson and he did and he said you were the best player on the field that's telling what they Arun saw that plane said while elite receiver plate must be nice to get the monthly back the arm, and I remember this kind of play. Maybe I just lightly taken $42 million a year right instead of $50 million a year when Arun tried to dispute that all about. Labs were not wrong I'm not taken $50 million a year and the next thing you know breaking news about the items traded to Las Vegas raters how good you think the Vikings could be this year because I think going into the season in the NFC, said the Packers in the water just reason for best teams in the NFC the Packers the box and the ramps we been searching for that fourth best team in the NFC act on the Eagles into that conversation. If trait Lance get his act together. Maybe it's 49ers if the Cardinals could weather the storm until Hopkins comes back. Maybe it could be the Arizona Cardinals. But if you just had the Vikings whose defense was trash last to your if they could just have a serviceable defense, I would still think the Packers and when the division but imagine that Vikings team in the playoffs even though there are trust issues with her cousins because the last time we saw in the playoffs. Yes, start a game-winning touchdown pass. One week the next week is find in Richard Sherman and he gets intercepted and the cost in the game early on the second half of up against the San Francisco 49ers at the time but you look at that Vikings team.

I don't want to go all crazy and nuts after one game but you see this Vikings team with feeling and cook. Would Jefferson California Madison. These guys are on this team.

If you could just get a serviceable and competent level of plat of the defense. This Vikings team could be damn good this year absolutely. And I think we talk about the team that didn't make the playoffs last season. The Vikings probably have the highest ceiling come into this season because we look at those skill players. We look at a meeting with the chargeable charges I went through. But in the NFC is heresy. Definitely you know so that we look at the skill players.

We look at the build up the rest the passions of the hunter get after it.

Like they got a lot of good players know and and and and and why not lie.

Why can't they make a run when the gamer to the postseason because who's on the cover Jefferson and Nancy think it was a giant ginger as Randall the best one is leading to problems and that's the big thing when you look at the deep deep play of the Minnesota Vikings. It's similar to the way that we talk about Cooper cop last year Cooper cup he was in Córdoba last year and you saw that in the Super Bowl. When the guy won the Super Bowl MVP.

So for Justin Jefferson when you have Rogers that goes up to him and say hey to the best player on the field today. That's a different level of respect when it comes from the mouth of Arun Rogers and it just shows how great of a player. Justin Jefferson is and I really think to. I'm not telling you. Kevin O'Connell is good to go on to be the next Vince Lombardi. I'm not telling you. Kevin O'Connell is good to go on to be the next great NFL head coach. But Kevin O'Connell is someone that in one year could make one of the more bigger impacts to his football team because when you had a coach in there and simmer, who just ran his course.

You need a new voice and and sometimes when you make a move.

Use usually see NFL teams when they change their head coach, the higher the complete antithesis of the guy that they that they just fired an O'Connell offense of guy young guy but also a guy that has a lot of fun and I don't go crazy with these Nickelodeon awards and all that but they released the video the Minnesota Vikings of Justin Jefferson.

I guess getting the Nickelodeon MVP. I don't know the specifics sorry the Nickelodeon folks on the accolades and Nickelodeon hands out, but Kevin O'Connell when Justin Jefferson's walk around with the trophy goes out, I'll take the slime you put the slime on. They just one of those camaraderie building things that is that when you a Super Bowl. No book when you're excited to go to work and you wake up with new life to go to work.

It does make a difference in the Vikings are to be a team this year that they have new life and you saw that in week one now for week two. You're going into a tough environment, you're going up against the Philadelphia Eagles and that's a team Eagles and Vikings are similar where they both have a lot of potential.

They both could be the fourth best team in the NFC. There's questions about jail and hurt. There's excitement though with what team the moves Eagles made this off-season. Their defense is really good. This is a great task for the Vikings this week prime time game for Kirk cousins Monday night doubleheader and you're going up against another damn good football team like we talked about the Chargers tonight how they could start off their year to know, taking care of the raters and then also taking care of the Kansas City Chiefs. If the Vikings start off their year where they already annihilated the Packers and then going to Philadelphia in a tougher environment prime time game and when that's a team that a just go to start to really ascend in the level of respect that there good to get this to the people and I get that always say doubt Kirk cousins doubt Kirk cousins doubt her cousins sinner telling you that Kirk cousins going Super Bowl. I don't believe that.

But with that do Justin Jefferson the skies the limit and there's Valentines with the receivers and library receivers that have more Super Bowl but that it was a game changer and that dude has the potential to be an NFL MVP this year and the last, and we never strives to bring the wart. The last time a non-quarterback won the award was Adrian Peterson but he has that potential to be MVP type are good.

That's how great he was on what Hans numbers do you feel like you have to put up to Helene MVP.

So Esau would cup did last year. He didn't win it. You may not have a question. I have so so that it's a great question that you bring up so you have to be in that Triple Crown kinda conversation like Cooper cup was last year so Cooper cup last year had hundred and 45 receptions 1900 receiving yards and 16 touchdowns. Be like 130 catches close to 2000 yards receiving and get double digit touchdowns. It's a possibility, but maybe this is a year where yes role salivating over Josh yes role salivating over Justin Herbert Patrick Mahon's, maybe these quarterbacks kind of beat up on one another where it's like a tiebreaker monopoly, not to separate them and then that maybe is what opens the door for a non-quarterback to win the award this year because you look at the quarterbacks I give you for five quarterbacks to go wow that is great. And those guys give you playoff teams. When I look at the receivers and Cooper cup have greater just Jeff and have a great year. We know that, and then divide the atoms to the razor make the playoffs, so Jefferson could be just way over the top and clearly out in front the best wide receiver in the sport this year with the quarterbacks could be splitting hairs, now that's the case, it may still go to quarterback but I would love to see it go to Jefferson this year. If he keeps on doing what he did in week one and he is one advantage that cup didn't have last year that you have around Donnellan's team. There is in the skies clear that there are some unbelievable defensive player that change the game on that side of the ball and therefore lessens the value of crop as great as you will. And not only that still the story last year was Ken Matthew Stafford get exact on so you look at Kirk cousins are stories that will be. Can Kirk cousins get the job done, but no one thinks Kirk cousins is this great quarterback.

So Jefferson maybe makes his team to go when the division and then Jefferson parts of these monster numbers. He did get all the flowers on his way. This is that culture once again sports radio 855212 or CBS 855-212-4227. If a quarterback is not going to win the MVP this year who someone that you would maybe put a few dollars on right now. Put a few dollars on Justin Jefferson. We return a quarterback who is retired, who may be could be quarterbacking the Cowboys. I don't think it's a likely let's get into the conversation. Next, but it was a gametime decision. Big news tonight Chargers and Chiefs that our head according to James Palmer from the NFL network. JC Jackson will play tonight.

Her source so we have another big AFC West showdown tonight to kick off week two of the NFL season, we seen a lot of great quarterbacks recently retire.

We saw Philip Rivers walk away from the game after spending one year in Indianapolis we saw a Jew breeze this past last year was the first full year without your breeze as he went to TV and that wasn't all successful with NBC so there was still a push though because of injury but happens all the time for your breeze to make a return, and last year when Jim Swenson got hurt that played out live on television when he was at NBC are you to come on back Philip Rivers. There was a push to potentially have Philip Rivers return to the NFL, especially if you recall on Carson once got hurt in the off-season and there was doubts if he was even to be able to play early on last year when he was a quarterback. The Indianapolis Colts people but okay maybe Philip Rivers would come back. We just saw an injury where I guess you could say it's a little bit ambiguous on when Jack Prescott to come back because at first the timeline was 6 to 8 weeks. Then Jerry Jones who always loves the just dumped drama onto the situation. Mr. one plus one equals three was saying overnight in the bottom and I are and maybe he's back within four weeks. So with that dumb injury that Jack Prescott has that needs and got surgery I would be surprised if Jack Prescott is back within four weeks now, it's easier said than done.

Just bring in a quarterback because a quarterback is to run the entire offense is not wide receiver read okay, here's the row tree is a few plays. Right now I will get football. Someone backward, though. Give him 10 to 15 plays for the running back when he gets on a new team quarterback you're in control the entire offense and this is the first year without big Ben Roethlisberger I'm surprise and adjust such low hanging fruit like dudes don't. His arm is finished.

As our misquote so maybe that's why Bonsall surprise without low hanging. The fruit is that there wasn't a big push this week for may be big Ben to go join the Dallas Cowboys for a few weeks I saw it in one.

One sports book.

That's where I saw the article that's on the idea just crept into my mind that there was that you could put money down for big Ben to take a snap for the Dallas Cowboys this year, but it really just shows you what the rest the end of the world thinks a big Ben out. Gaia is easily to be a first valve great quarterback two-time Super Bowl champion. You know the resume and all the accolades that big Ben has it is though crazy and I guess it's all because a loyalty that the Rooney family has that the Rooney family. Let big Ben go on a year or two longer than what they should have and I know that Ben had to make some sacrifices that bother you to get back onto the field and and return to Pittsburgh, and now you're going with. Eventually Kenny Pickett are you drafted in the first round and then I guess he's doing some podcast because I saw some podcast quote come out last week and it was that I was reading that it was big Ben's podcast but that's a guy that you know didn't want to end his career it when he speaks.

Even though his arm is shot. I still think it was up to Ben PP quarterback in the Pittsburgh Steelers this year so that's why just it was a little bit surprising to me.

EJ that you didn't hear a little bit more noise, especially with how low hanging fruit is especially with Jerry Jones being the king of leading drama that there was a little bit more buzz on Big Bend this week maybe to go quarterback to Kabbalist. Now you're a big football story and I'm a big football story so that you never been told that Dom affect the historical you are feeling. I listen to you talk a lot about like you know the history of the game and stuff like that. I appreciate the edges you made that sound so sophisticated arm, foot you got in my in my bio Zach tell professional jackass professional bloviating. Jack asked and according to Liza Stewart, a football historian. I like that. I bet Jack Job, a football historian. I bet you have callers who say that you and we will appreciate the history of the game and there is a part of me that wonders when it comes to bending Cowboys is a Steelers Cowboys Steelers and Cowboys that is a massive rivalry that people don't really know or don't remember because all gains were in the 70s whenever the Steelers play in Dallas.

It's a massive game gloss to LaFrance and I year 2022 but I wonder because of his love for the Rooney's and that really the Rooney's.

I wonder if there is some aspect of that's not to be conversation because it's the Note because it's a business like not am I comparing Steelers Cowboys to Yankees and Red Sox right but we seen logic of his published never happen. Jacoby Ellsbury, Barry go from the Red Sox and Yankees. We seen Johnny Damon go from the Red Sox Yankees.

Roger Clemens was once a Red Sox then you know a lot of people remember him as a New York Yankee so we seen that in sports he seen people change teams frequently and I don't think that there'd be any animosity if you're a Steelers fan that big Ben like to see one got you know that that guy play his entire career.

One uniform, but if he was given the opportunity and took it when your football team is going with Mitch Stravinsky right now and there eventually. Hand the baton over to Kenny Pickett. I don't think there would be any resentment or animosity to big Ben. I think interests is kind of the reflection of what Big Bend is at this point, no one thinks he can actually play agree with but still, just because you don't think some good supply does not mean your name doesn't get thrown out there like Drew Brazier. The last two years was holding the saints back and it was exposed in the playoffs, where he became a turnover machine. People forget because everyone likes to talk about the the call that was missed up against the LA Rams trooper Mr. Pickett.

Over time, and then in that the plants came up against the Vikings take some was making big plays not to dictate some hell guy Andrew Bridges foam on the football and and picked either team. The last playoff game which was of the final game of it of his career up against the Buccaneers, a clean game by Tampa but the Saints gave Tampa the game away because they couldn't hang onto the football.

Drew Brazier thrown the football to the other team. So I think it's Andrew Bray's name got turnout last year just did a bunch of times now. It also helps one. It's inside the same organization were just playing for the injury does occur, and if I don't know what's in it and say Mitch Stravinsky in week one Kenny Pickett got hurt. I'm sure that big Ben's name would pop up a look I get your luck's been gone for years now and everyone still throws up by Andrew Lutz a moment it'll come back for a different circumstance, but everyone still and even Michael Irvin said he needs to stop people's lowbrow calling Name and hasn't played in what five years.

So just having player just because people may not think you're good anymore forever in the reasons are there with Her neck. It's obvious a lot more complex than just simply do think he could play or not, but these guys names get thrown out. I think would Ben went on the crimson not being the play goes beyond, I think there's nasty about this guy's been beat up when we think about breeze easy guy to know that Saints offense that it is a lightning fast.

I had a lot of injuries Brucey did but it don't we know that the whole that that then went through years in Pittsburgh and met a lot of surgeons hold the ball long you missed a lot of games. No throwing guys off from Wi-Fi portables we seen him take a lot of punishment. There is an aspect of back, I think it was punishment to be back out there and football and you don't. Also maybe November is that I think I want to play football.

Ben's going to play another season could mess up like this is you saving the cowboy season happen at the little different empanada in 2020 20 in Pittsburgh, where you'll get me wrong, to legendary French fries but I don't think Big Bend would care about that and I don't even think the Steelers would be that annoyed about that because you an opportunity want to bring the guy back and you didn't run it's a business, but I would've thought that just a few people would advocate our lease. It'll aspect that you want to come back right like an easy low hanging thing for part of it in and football. Unsurprisingly, not been on this week or better in his pocket. Some of that and ask him that you want to think the cat was like this.

What are Dupree when he was on television, and later that year that Sergey three would you go play for a few it's in the Cowboys and RJ got back to me right away because it is a playback IP address and they want to call me, so be great anymore to get a phone call. As we talked about and there was no push for Ben to go to Dallas and I think that just because everyone knows that on the shot and we seen that the last three years of Big Bend, but the seals just kept on giving them opportunity after opportunity after opportunity via Tor is the world's leading travel experience marketplace offering everything from simple tours to extreme adventures and all the niche interesting stuff in between extensive options, ease of selection and flexibility at your fingertips help make sure your time is wonderfully spent via tour is the place to go to book experiences that will create long-lasting moments that make lifetime memories and via Tor has over 300,000 bookable experiences to choose from in over 190 countries.
