00:00Let's go to Friday night's game now, where we spoke about this a little bit yesterday
00:08and I saw a note that the NFL is going to provide extra security, Scotty, in Brazil
00:14for the Packers and the Eagles so that nobody's worried.
00:19They've heard the players voice their frustrations and there's going to be some extra security
00:24so that everybody feels comfortable down in Sao Paulo for that game coming up on Friday night.
00:30Would you think, Mike, that, you know, honestly, at some level, it's almost as though, you
00:36know, sans what happened to Trump in Pennsylvania or whatever, you know, the rally with the
00:43kids shooting him in the ear, tried to kill him, sans that, is that not like, you know,
00:50the NFL in Sao Paulo and those two NFL teams and their respective hotels, et cetera, where
00:57they're staying, would that not truly be the safest place to be in, like, the entire country
01:06of Brazil on Friday night in the fact that they're going to have, like, I mean, literally
01:13armies of guys with, you know, submachine guns and army and military and police.
01:21They're going to be all over those hotels and all over those NFL teams and all over
01:27those buses and all over those convoys to the stadium from the hotels, like, it'd be
01:34the last place in the world you'd want to be like, hey, I think I'm going to go over
01:37and start killing some people.
01:39You know, honestly, you got to pick your spots.
01:42I would think that it'd be the safest place on earth tomorrow night.
01:45Now, I'm not talking about after the game, leaving the hotel, trying to go down to the
01:52barrio to have a beverage in Brazil and Sao Paulo.
01:57That's probably not a good idea.
01:58But when you're with the team, I think they have absolutely nothing to worry about.
02:01And I wouldn't have brought my families either to Sao Paulo because it really is hell on
02:08earth.
02:09I mean, I have it's inexplicable how they're having, frankly, an NFL game there.
02:15And to be honest, I'm surprised that they pulled off the Olympics there without a bunch
02:20of people being murdered and robbed and raped and shanked and kidnapped and sold into slavery
02:26and and, you know, sex traffic and narcotics.
02:30What don't they have down there with problems in Brazil?
02:33Let's get real here for a second.
02:35It's a mess.
02:36That place is an absolute hellhole.
02:38It's a mess.
02:39And you can quote me on that.
02:41It's no different than me talking about Oakland, California.
02:45On the field, of course, the Eagles will get to debut their newest weapon, running back
02:51Saquon Barkley, who came over from the New York Giants in the offseason.
02:56Head coach Nick Sirianni, very excited to have Barkley on his team.
03:00I mean, he made a run at practice yesterday.
03:02And I just remember I was wearing sunglasses.
03:04It was sunny.
03:05And I was just kind of looking, taking my sunglasses off and looking at a couple of
03:09coaches.
03:10I'm like, all right, this is awesome, you know, that we that we got him here, not only
03:14for the play that he brings to the field and the cut that he made yesterday at practice,
03:19but also his leadership and the person.
03:21What about when he's off for a month every year and he takes his vacation in the middle
03:26of the season?
03:28He's like Giancarlo Stanton.
03:30He gets that month long Caribbean trip in every year in the middle of the season.
03:34I don't have any stock in this guy's ability to play every game.
03:39It's not happening.
03:40He's always injured.
03:41I mean, that's why they don't want to admit it, but that's why they wouldn't give him
03:47the money.
03:48They just don't think he's worth the money because he misses five, six games a year.
03:52It's just automatic.
03:53He's just not.
03:56That's for sure.
03:57He misses a lot of games, a lot of games.
03:59I did want to update you on this, too.
04:01I told you Harper got hit in the elbow in his first at-bat.
04:06He left the game, Scotty.
04:07First hit for him in his second time around, so that is not a good sign.
04:13Hopefully nothing serious for Bryce Harper, who's opening the door for the Diamondbacks
04:18and Padres and Mets, opening the door for everybody else.
04:23That on Friday night is still the other Philadelphia team.
04:26The Eagles are still minus two and a half, with a 49 and a half total.
04:31I got to tell you, I know we're going to do this more on Friday when we talk about what
04:36we like in the game.
04:37It just smells like an under to me, Scotty, honestly.
04:40That 49 and a half, I think it's going to be like all these other international games.
04:46It's going to be slow.
04:47I don't think the guys are going to be right.
04:50I think they're going to be looking to get the hell out of there.
04:52It just doesn't feel like a game that's going to be 35-31.
04:55It feels more like a game that's going to be 17-13.
04:58I agree that I think it's an under, but look, my favorite part of it is watching Kaplan
05:07yesterday with his homerized milquetoast ass just constantly nobbing the Eagles.
05:13I mean, this guy, he does the Eagles pregame show.
05:17He comes on here.
05:18He would pick the Eagles to win every game, every week, every year, over every team in
05:23the league.
05:25He's once again picking them to win the division.
05:28And this is a team that lost six of seven to close it out.
05:31They should have fired Sirianni.
05:34They went and got that broken down Barkley from the Giants, and then they got a guy from
05:40Washington that they didn't want.
05:42Their receiver that they drafted from Penn State, Dotson, they didn't even want him.
05:46They owe him $7 million.
05:47They're like, here, you take him.
05:48We don't want him.
05:49He sucks.
05:51Then they immediately come out and say, oh, we have the best receiving core in the NFL.
05:54I don't buy their quarterback.
05:57I don't buy their coach.
05:59I don't buy them.
06:01I don't buy them to win the East.
06:04I still think Dallas is better than them, three straight 12-win seasons, and he thinks
06:09they suck.
06:10At least I come right out with it.
06:11My Steelers suck.
06:13My quarterbacks suck.
06:14I come right out with it every year.
06:16And I love Kaplan more than anybody, but I mean, this guy and the Eagles, can it just
06:20stop already?
