"NFL playoffs roundup on Dave fairy. The bills barely avoided an upset, blowing a 17 zero lead in trailing by four before defeating the dolphins. Gene Batali was there. The Buffalo Bills get by the Miami Dolphins in the wild card round by a score of 34 31. Bills quarterback Josh Allen through for 352 yards and three touchdowns, he did have two interceptions as well. We did some good things today. And it's a bad thing today, you know? Some stuff to clean up some things to learn from. But we'll grow from it. It's all all that matters of surviving and advancing. Both Stefan Diggs and Gabe Davis went over a hundred yards receiving. Dolphins had the ball late with a fourth and one at midfield. That's when they took a delay of game penalty. And then on the next play, the dolphins would turn it over on downs. Dolphins quarterback Skylar tops and enjoyed the experience of his first playoff game, but would have liked a different outcome. It was awesome, unfortunately we couldn't come out with a win because I felt like our team fought really, really hard today. You could tell there was no quit. And us and walking into this game, nobody gave us a chance at all. And we had a chance to win it. It took 5 playoff games for the road team to earn a victory as Tom maryam reports. The Giants advanced to the divisional rounds of the NFC playoffs by beating the Vikings 31 24. Quarterback Daniel Jones sparked the Giants offense, throwing for 301 yards and two touchdown passes while running for another 78 yards to lead New York toward its first postseason triumph since Super Bowl 46. I think it's a big win for us, obviously big playoff game. I thought we played well. All three phases and did enough to win the game. Saquon Barkley's second touchdown run of the game, midway through the fourth quarter, provided the margin of victory snapping at 24 24 time. The New York defense held legally to Justin Jefferson to just 47 yards receiving. Kirk Cousins is now one in three in the playoffs. With that lone win being the miracle in Minneapolis three years ago. Extremely disappointing to not win the night, didn't see the season end in the way it did. And it hurts, so we didn't make enough place to win. Every play matters so much, and there were many that we'd love to have back. Craig heist was at a classic AFC north battle. Sam humbert's 98 yard touchdown return of a Tyler Huntley fumbled with 1139 to go in the fourth quarter snapped to 17 all tie as the Bengals hung on to beat the ravens 24 to 17. Credit to Logan Wilson punching it out and just being the right place right time. Got a few blocks along the way and I was just worried about getting tracked down and I'm glad I made it to the end zone. Joe burrow threw for a touchdown and ran for another while Raven quarterback Tyler Huntley threw for two scores, but he was also intercepted. His last second pass on fourth down with no time left fell incomplete. The wild card round concludes with the Buccaneers hosting the cowboys. Dallas earned four more wins during the regular season, but Tampa Bay gained home field by winning its division at 8 and 9. Bucks quarterback Tom Brady is seeking an 8th Super Bowl title and knows what it'll take to win on Monday. You're gonna have to make the plays at the end. And it's tough because there's good teams and there's little margin of air. And all these teams are well coached. I got good offenses, good defenses. They got a lot of good playmakers. Those are the best teams that are playing right now and you've got to play good if you want to if you want to advance. Brady is 7 or all time versus the cowboys. Cowboys quarterback dak Prescott is still chasing his first Super Bowl title and has lost three of his four playoff starts. So there's a sense of urgency. We've got to win, obviously every playoff game you go into it, thinking you've got to win, but having the past experiences I've had in the playoffs just understanding the team that we have, what we're capable of doing, being on the road, just know that we got to go in. We've got to stay calm. We've got to stay within ourselves and play our best game. The box defeated the cowboys 19 three on opening week. I'm Dave ferry, AP sports.

Jaguar's quarterback Trevor Lawrence overcame the worst half of his career to win and his playoff debut. I didn't play my best tonight, so I'm gonna watch the table. There's gonna be so much to learn from. But honestly, I mean, you couldn't write a better script than to win a game like that. Lawrence threw four first half interceptions, three to asante Samuel junior to help the Chargers score the first 27 points of the game. He went on to throw four touchdowns, including three in the second half. Chargers head coach Brandon staley says their second half execution was poor. Anytime you're up 27 to 7 and a half time and you've got four takeaways and you end up winning the takeaway margin four nothing. It's going to be it's going to be a killer. I'm hurting for everybody in that locker room. It's a special group of guys and this is the toughest way that you can lose. The forty-niners open their postseason schedule by claiming their 11th consecutive victory. Ryan Leung was there. The forty-niners outscored Seattle 25 to 6 in the second half to beat the Seahawks 41 to 23. In his playoff debut, Brock purdy was 18 of 30 for 332 yards and three touchdowns. Having 6 games under my belt in terms of just playing in an NFL game and trying to win for four quarters, you know, has helped me get to this point and all the guys in the locker room got my back. They've all grown together. So we're ready for what's ahead. Christian McCaffrey had a 119 yards rushing, and deebo Samuel had 6 catches for a 133 yards. You know Smith was 25 of 35 for 253 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. McCaffrey says pretty showed a lot of poise for a guy who was taken last overall in the 2022 draft. He's extremely confident and he's exactly what you would want in a quarterback. No moment is too big for him and he makes corrections quickly and we saw that today and he's able to go out there and play with some juice and hit the right guys and let everybody else do their jobs. Sunday's games have the bills hosting the dolphins. The Vikings entertaining the Giants and the ravens visiting the Bengals. The dolphins with the last team to grab an AFC playoff birth. And buffalo finished with the second best winning percentage in the conference, but bill's coach Sean McDermott says his team better be ready. That's a good football team. That we've split with this year and we have a lot of respect for them in terms of what they've done and what they've accomplished this season. So we've got to get ourselves ready to go. The dolphins handed the bills their first loss of the season during week three. Buffalo was a 32 29 winner over Miami at Orchard park on December 17th. The Vikings of the number three seed in the NFC, three spots ahead of the Giants, but New York is one of the sexy pics to pull off an upset. Minnesota head coach Kevin O'Connell says he has respect for giants coach Brian dabel and defensive coordinator wink martingale. I've talked a lot about not only their head coach, but wink and his staff, they do a phenomenal job, their challenge to prepare for and our guys got to be ready to go and ready to go play fast against a really talented defense. The Vikings earned a 27 24 home win over the Giants on Christmas Eve. Like the bills and Vikings, the Bengals are well familiar with their road opponent. Cincinnati beat the ravens 27 16 a week ago, but Baltimore came away with the last second win over the Bengals on October 9th. Joe burrow hopes their AFC title run last season will benefit them this month. I think it's natural to call back on experiences that you've had in similar situations. So I think I'd be lying if I said I wasn't, but like I said, it's a new year new team, new opponents, and so we know what it takes. That's all last year did for us. The first round ends with the Buccaneers hosting the cowboys on Monday night. I'm Dave ferry, AP sports.

A recap of Week 16 of the NFL season
"NFL week 16 roundup. I'm Dave ferry. The Buccaneers remain atop the NFC south after scoring the last 13 points in a 1916 overtime win at Arizona. Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles. I think it was a total effort in the second half, especially the fourth quarter. Defense getting stopped and the offense cashing in timely plays seemed like we play better in the fourth quarter if we can transfer that to the other three, you know, it would be pretty consistent, but it was a hard fork when we needed it. We got it. No matter how pretty it looked or it didn't look pretty. Ryan suck up entered it by hitting a 40 yard field goal and tied it on a 42 yard kick with two 27 left in regulation. The rally began after the Cardinals took a 16 6th lead on James Connors 22 yard scoring run with ten 47 remaining in regulation. Tom Brady threw for 281 yards, one TD and two interceptions. I would play better there in the fourth quarter. We executed pretty well. Hit a bunch of Brooks and tackles, you know, ran hard, a lot of guys made plays in the past games and contested catches. Got to hear as soon as they caught it and came up with it. So defense really stepped up. This was a great way to down ten in the fourth quarter on the road. It's great to find a way to win. Trace mcsorley had 217 passing yards and his first NFL start, but the Cardinals fell to four and 11. The packers playoff hopes are very much alive after they intercepted to a tongue of violet on three consecutive possessions, securing a 26 20 win at Miami. The first pick set up mason Crosby's tie breaking field goal early in the fourth quarter. Tongue of valoa was intercepted with 6 minutes left. And again, around the two minute warning. It was just terrible how everything ended. And like I told the guys, that's on me and I'll definitely get better from that. Aaron Rodgers threw for 238 yards and a touchdown as Green Bay improved to 7 or 8. A half came out of a playoff spot with two games remaining. Considering where we were a few weeks ago, a lot has happened in our favor. All the games that need to go a certain way win a certain way. Now there's obviously much much left. But again, we're going to be we played meaningful games in December. We want all three of those. Now we're playing meaningful games in January. We got to win those. The 8 and 7 dolphins led 20 to ten before losing their fourth in a row. Jaylen waddle and tyreek hill each had over 100 yards receiving. The defending Super Bowl champs finally enjoyed a blowout win. Mark Myers was there. Cam Akers ran for three touchdowns part of the rams 51 to 14 Christmas Day win against the Broncos. I mean, it's a big deal, you know, obviously I helped to contribute to a win today, so that's pretty much the biggest. The biggest highlight of it for me, you know, Christmas Day, we gotta win. Baker Mayfield through two touchdown passes to Tyler higbee and Kobe Durant had an 85 yard pick 6. Denver's Russell Wilson threw one touchdown three interceptions and was sacked 6 times. It was the 5th time Wilson has thrown three interceptions. They're more in a game. Twice against the rams. We feel like we can be better. We feel like we're more capable of being better or feel like we've had some good moments and all that. But nobody wants to put out what we put out today. That was terrible. The Chargers will face the colts on Monday night. Los Angeles will clench an AFC playoff birth with a win. Next week, the bills can clinch the number one seed in the AFC with a victory over the Bengals and a loss by the chiefs against the Broncos. Should the Bengals beat the bills and their ravens fall to Pittsburgh, Cincinnati wins the AFC north. The Jaguars are in control of the AFC south and take on the Texans in Houston. Jacksonville could lose that game and still capture the division by beating the Titans in week 18. The eagles will take the number one seat in the NFC by winning one of their last two games or having the Vikings split their last two games. A victory over the cults will put the Giants in the NFC playoffs. I'm Dave ferry, AP sports.

Highlights of Sunday's action in the NFL's Week 15
"Week 15, NFL roundup. I'm Ben Thomas, Sunday's action saw two more overtime games, but neither qualifies as the wildest finish of the weekend. That was in Las Vegas, with the Raiders beat the Patriots. Ryan lyong explains how. The Raiders scored on a crazy play as time expired to beat the Patriots 30 to 24 with three seconds remaining in the fourth quarter and the game tied the Patriots tried to extend a 23 yard run by ramonda Stevenson, but a second lateral by Jacoby Myers was fumbled and recovered by the Raiders Chandler Jones who ran it back 48 yards for the game winning touchdown. At first I was thinking who's around me. And I felt myself stumbled a little bit after the stiff arm. And that was thinking, who do I pitch it to that? I was just trying to, you know, keep the ball alive. It's when I stayed up, I just turned the jets on and the rest was history. Derek Carr was 20 of 38 for 231 yards and three touchdowns. The Bengals Buccaneers game in Tampa matched two division leaders led by two marquee quarterbacks, Tom Brady and Joe burrow. Early on, this was dominated by Brady and the bucks who jumped out to a 17 and nothing lead, but as Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd said, his team didn't panic and capitalized on four Tampa turnovers. When we create them, turn those, we got to go get them touchdowns, and not three. So I think the turning point was the offense rallying off the defense and making those turnovers into touchdowns. Boyd caught one of Joe burrow's four touchdown passes as the Bengals scored 34 consecutive points, cruising to a 34 23 win. Eric waddell, Tampa. Now one of the games that went to OT, Denny cap. The Jaguars overcome a 17 point second half deficit to stun the cowboys 40 34 and overtime. Jags quarterback Trevor Lawrence through three of his four touchdowns in the second half, hitting receivers a Jones on three of those four scores. I think it says a lot about this team, how much we trust one another. Widely Patterson sent the game to overtime on a 48 yard field goal as time expired, that set up rayshawn Jenkins for the game winning pick 6 of dak Prescott as Jacksonville improved a 6 and 8 on the season, Noah Brown caught a pair of touchdowns for the cowboys who saw four game winning streaks now and fell to ten and four. I'm Denny cap. The cowboys have clinched a playoff spot, but there are lots of winning the NFC east have gotten longer with the eagles surviving a trip to a frigid soldier field in Chicago. I really couldn't feel my hands. Equals quarterback, Jalen hurts. Didn't really have good vision on the field. In some, I never play anything that cold. Still, final score eagles 25 bears 20. The other two teams in the NFC east still have a shot at a wild card. Craig heist has the outcome of the Giants trip to Washington. Rookie pass rusher kayvon thibodeau had a strip sack of Taylor heinicke and a recovery for a touchdown while saquon Barkley rushed for a touchdown in 87 yards as the Giants beat the commanders 20 to 12. Barkley and the Giants are inching closer to the playoffs. Big win for us and, you know, playing meaningful games here in December, you know, is where you want to be. Heineken through for a touchdown pass, but was also sacked three times. The Giants improved to 8 5 and one while the commanders fall to 7.6 in one. Craig heist land over Maryland. The lines and jets are both now 7 and 7, but one of them is feeling a lot better about it than the other, Mike mancuso was at this one. The Lions continued their playoff push with the 20 to 17 win over the jets, trailing 17 to 13 with one 49 remaining on a fourth and one Jared Goff hit tight end, Brock Wright, who rumbled 51 yards for the go ahead TD. I know we had it, knew the cutback would be there, and I just thought, run as fast as I can, getting that into. Jets quarterback, Zach Wilson, who threw for 317 yards, got the jets set up for a field goal of one second remaining, but Greg sirloin missed from 58 yards. Other finals, the chiefs survived a trip to Houston beating the Texans 30 to 24 in overtime. The Chargers topped the Titans 1714, the Steelers put a 24 16 pounding on the Panthers, the saints so with the falcons 21 18, while the wolf will Broncos be the spiraling Cardinals 24 15. Monday night the Los Angeles Rams play the packers and what should be a rather frigid Lambeau Field and possible snow. I'm Ben Thomas, AP sports

"AP sports I'm Josh rowntree and other comeback win for Tom Brady this time on Monday Night Football. More from correspondent to any cap. Tom Brady hits Rashad white on a 6 yard touchdown pass with three seconds left to help the Buccaneers edge the saints 1716, Brady and the bucks overcame a 13 point fourth quarter deficit to improve to an NFC south by 6 and 6, a game and a half clear of the falcons. Yeah, it was good, you know? We got a lot of games coming down to the end and some we won some we've lost, which is why we're 6 and 6. So not where we want to be, but we'll keep fighting. The touchdown with three seconds left was the latest game winner in Brady's 23 year career and the second 13 point fourth quarter comeback with the other being the Patriots infamous Super Bowl 50 win over the falcons. In the NBA, Boston got by Toronto one 16 one ten Jayson Tatum had a game high 31 points, but tipped his cap to some of his new teammates for their help in the win. We got some new guys on the team this year, but they're great guys, great teammates. Guys are really smart. That fit in perfectly. And we all just compliment each other. Memphis got by Miami one O one 93 as tyus Jones had 28 points and ten boards. We're all in this together. You never know how things can shake up. And guys got to be ready when their name is called. So we prepare like that every single day. And then again, nice like tonight. Our reasons why. On the ice Vegas got by Boston and they shoot out four three as golden knights coach Bruce Cassidy beat his former team 6 months after being fired by Boston.

"Insulted Rachel who was Jackson's beloved wife. And so Jackson challenged him to a duel. The other man shot first. They shot Jackson right around the lungs. Okay, not through the heart, but in the long area, Jackson's bleeding and his second is trying to get help him out. And he's like, no, he says, if you put a bullet in my brain, I would still live long enough to kill you. He said those exact words and then he shot the man dead. Charles Wilkinson, I'll look it up in a minute. I want to know that name. But so that's a really nice detail, Steve, about the fact that they gave a nod to the fact that Jackson was carrying around a bullet in his lung area. And he would carry that bullet till the day he died. James here, and now a brief word from our sponsors. I think that demel was really going for it because this was more of a play. I think the dress of Jackson was, they were trying to make him look like the Jackson on the $20 bill. Instead of a realistic portrayal, I think that's where the accent kind of came in. And if you go to Jackson's, I don't know what you would even describe him as aide de camp or his bodyguard. This frontiersman guy who wore the raccoon skin half with the tail on it and everything. He had the most over the top trickily mid Tennessee accent. I mean, the guy was a total caricature. I think with the fancy mister PV maybe, something. Yeah. I think what that sort of thing in the 50s, they just turned those caricatures up as loudly as they could instead of going for something a little bit more subtle. Yeah, exactly. Let's milk it for all it's worth. Have fun with it. The man that Jackson dueled is Charles Dickinson. I think I said, Wilkinson, I'm mixing them up with general Wilkinson, who had been the U.S. commander over New Orleans for a while. All right, so another major thing is, of course, the love story. Q romantic music. By the way, the music is very good in this movie. It's by Elmer Bernstein, who made dozens and dozens of movie scores, a lot of really famous ones. It's escaping my mind, which other ones he did, but Elmer Bernstein was a very talented movie composer. Yeah, and because this is the classic age of Hollywood, we've got to have a love story worked in. We've got a shoehorn it in. So they had to make something up. Jean lafitte had plenty of women, sometimes he was married, but in the movie he has a love interest with other claiborne's only daughter. The daughter in the movie is named Annette claiborne. It's played by inger Stevens, who was a Swedish actress who tragically, I believe committed suicide when she was about 35 later on. But anyway, so claiborne's daughter Annette and Jean lafitte have all these little talks where, oh, I love you, Jean. But I don't think I can be with someone who is an enemy to my country. Oh, I'm not an enemy to your country. I am a businessman. I help your country and things like that. So cheesy stuff, but and totally made up because governor cleburne only had at this time one surviving daughter. She was named, not Annette, or sophronia, Louise claiborne. And she was two years old. At the time of the battle of New Orleans. Now, the real lafitte is believed at least by some sources to possibly have had an affair with the governor's wife, who's not shown in the movie. Needless to say, that's not going to be shown in a 1950s movie. And a fun fact, I got to throw this in. This says nothing to do with the historical accuracy of the movie, but governor claiborne was the great great great grandfather of fashion designer Liz claiborne about that. Yeah, that's a really interesting fun fact. Fun fact. I always have to work in some fun facts. Would that be interesting? I think if they remade this movie, it was too way too spicy for the mid 1950s, but to have that relationship with clayborn claiborne's wife and lafitte and then having lafitte's brother involved. I think that could have made for a really interesting and complex movie. Oh yeah, it's just like a lot of things in history, Steve, the real story is so amazing and so cool. And so fascinating, why can't you just tell the story as it happened? Why do you have to make up a bunch of crap? I was like you said, it would be wonderful to have like a ten part series on the war of 1812, even if it's a docudrama. Those have become real popular lately. We've had like the history channel has actually gotten back in the business of doing good history. They've done Lincoln series. They've done a Washington series of grant series. Fantastic. They just did one on TR, which I haven't seen yet, but do a war of 1812 series. You might even have to make it like a 20 episodes or 15 episodes. It's all about money. I just don't know that many people would be interested in watching that, but it would be wonderful. And it was really, it would be really tricky in a regular movie format. Even though this movie, I think it was about two and a half hours long to have this buddy film with Pierre and Jean lafitte plus with Andrew Jackson. I think Cecil B. DeMille did probably the best he could with it and keep it within the 50s, which this is essentially a sword and sandal drama that demel gives us time and time and time again. Yeah. Just more like swords and boots and muskets. Yeah, I mean, really, I mean, you get the swashbuckling scenes. You get eye drama, but it really does work going on 60, 70 years later. I think it leads to modern audience, just feeling a little flat. Yeah. Yeah, it's not a movie that it's going to get a lot of excitement going on. It's a decent movie. It's fun, but anyway, a couple more things about the historic actually, the actor EG Marshall, great character actor from the 50s, 60s, 70s. He's about the same. He plays claiborne governor claiborne. He's about the same age that Cleveland was at the time, but they make him look a lot older. They give him this white hair and it's just really odd. Why would you do that? But I think you mentioned he looked like an old statue. He's kind of stiff character. The interactions between Jackson lafitte and between the feet and the British Royal Navy officers as well as the interactions between Jackson and the leading citizens of New Orleans are generally accurate. One of the screenwriters said this, he said the actual historic events in question are themselves so over the top that I all I really had to do was line up the dialog and even then only some of it. He added the only real job was shoehorning a romance into it. That's a obligatory. You got to check that box. One other detail I noticed about Jackson as he's constantly saying, by the eternal, I'll destroy you or I'll hang you or something like that. Or by God almighty. He was always swearing at the time they called them oaths. By God, I will do this, sir. You know, I did that a lot. He would say by the eternal, or buy this or buy that. So I thought that was a really good detail too. I also liked that they used those congreve rockets. I did they use them in that battle. I know they used them at the battle of fort mchenry in Baltimore. Yeah, they did. A lot. Yeah, they did here to a lesser extent. The rockets, as we touched upon, were not super destructive. They didn't do a lot of damage. They were mainly, as you said earlier, a terror weapon designed to scare the enemy. Yeah, apparently they couldn't hold much of a charge, if you will, or at warhead, and they had yet to invent stabilizing bins. So then they really just went they were like, what are the ones Roman candles, the ones which is kind of just all around wherever and maybe if they hit something, we would take a lot of luck. Another thing is a major character that we haven't really discussed much is Dominique you. He had been a Corporal in the French army during some of the Napoleonic campaigns and then he found his way to the new world and in the movie he shown as Jean lafitte's second in command. He posed as a general. And he's a really good character. The guy playing him did a great job. And it's mostly accurate. What other detail I want to mention is that in the film, I think I touched on this earlier, but let's talk about it again. Everything is done at the last minute to create tension, you know, the British are coming and they're still piling up cotton bales, and they're still searching for flints for the muskets, things like that. However, the main defensive line at the Rodriguez canal it was called in the movie it's built very quickly and the militias only recruited when the British threatened the city and lafitte arrives with hundreds of pirates and gunpowder just in time to face the British, but actually the main defensive line had been constructed over the course of a week. We did touch on that. But I think it bears repeating. The real Jackson had used martial law to raise several militia units and he had already received about 4000 reinforcements. Now in your key battles of American history, you give a formal rating to the movie. We don't do that so much. But I think this is a good time to maybe give our overall thoughts about the movie. For my overall thoughts, I like that they hit a piece of American history that is not very widely talked about or certainly portrayed in film. And I really, it was accurate enough. I think as far as the production values and that sort of thing, this is a straight down the middle film from the 1950s Cecil B. DeMille, it hits all of the things that's Elsa did. I was incessantly to melted at Charlton Heston, all these movies were either set to lead a male Charlotte less than somehow and gone forward or yeah. But I think it was straight down the middle. It was a fun movie to watch. It was really well done with the costumes and the settings. I wouldn't say that this is a movie I would go and watch every week or once a month or make my kids watch or something. But I think it's something to watch and enjoy. I would certainly recommend it. Yeah, if we're going to do numbers, I'd give it a straight down the middle three. It gets points for, as you said, the costume design is really great. And given that it was filmed on a sound stage, it looks not too cheesy in hokey. Definitely get points. Fuel brinner is fantastic. Charlton Heston is really great. Charles Boyer was Dominic you. He was really good as well. So for those performances, I would give it points. I would take away points for some of the totally fictional stuff like the Corinthian and the ending was terrible. That was unnecessary. Just tell the real story, just let the guy celebrate, let him revel in his success and why do we have to have this side track thing thrown in the end. For those kind of things, I would give it. The dialog is often stiff, the romantic elements are cheesy. There's a second romantic element that we didn't discuss with the actress Claire Bloom, who played Bonnie Brown, the daughter of the captain Brown, who was executed and she's just not good. Major distraction. But other than that, yeah, there's a lot of good, but a lot of not so good. I would have loved to have seen demel started with that lecture in the beginning that a wrap up lecture at the end, and maybe they could have cut out some of that silliness and just had it develop finish the rest of the story. It's kind of the beginning part is sort of like the docu drama, you're talking about, yeah, but I like that idea, but if you had done that, are you going to give the actual ending or will it really happened in history? I guess they could have said that lafitte sailed off and set up shop in Galveston, which was accurate. The reason of course in the show in the movie would not be accurate. But yeah, there are a lot of things that could have been improved, but that's true with so many movies. Yeah. I think that whole docu drama, it's a great way to do film nowadays. I think with historical dramas in a way it's cutting out what we do here. But it's showing the fun of what was happening and really connecting you to the history, but then you get right away, what really happened. Yeah, I agree with you. Well, thanks to James people should definitely go listen to your key battles of American history, especially the war of 1812 special series that's coming up, but all of your episodes are fantastic.

"Wearing black or brown or gray, these really dull earth tones, but in reality, people did wear colorful clothes. And the movie totally gets that right. And I appreciate that about the movie. Anyway, I got off on a little tangent there, but so at the end of the movie, after the celebration, the boy appears in people start asking, well, how did you survive the Corinthian? And he's trying to cover for lafitte. Even though it's not lafitte's fault, it was done in violation of lafitte's orders, nevertheless, the boy, you know, spills the beans and says, well, the ship was attacked by one of lafitte's men and burned. And lafitte personally takes responsibility for that. He doesn't try to Dodge it. He doesn't say I ordered it, but he says I was responsible for it. And the people just go nuts and they start to hang him and all this and finally Jackson comes out and saves him and but says you've got to get out of here. And so he's given what is it like 48 hours or 24 hours? I can't remember. Maybe just ten hours. He gives them just a little bit of time to get on a ship with his man and sail away. And so that's the final scene. Total nonsense. It's great drama. And that sailing to destiny is like, what's he going to do next? It's almost like they were setting up for a sequel. But Pirates of the Caribbean part two, lafitte. Lafitte goes to Mexico. But they don't show where he's going, but in reality, lafitte was continued to be both the feats again. Remember there were two brothers in reality. They were hailed as heroes, and they hung around New Orleans for quite some time. They eventually did leave and they moved their base of operations to Galveston of all places, and were there for quite a while. In fact, today you can go down and take the Jean lafitte tour in Galveston. It's kind of cool. I haven't done it, but there's a lot of Jean lafitte swag that you can get in Galveston. And that's going to be their new base of operations. But they didn't leave because they were afraid the Americans were going to hang them or something. They left because their base had been destroyed and they were looking for the next adventure. They were wanting to start a new business, start a new mini kingdom. So that's the reality. They relocated to Galveston around late 1815 and set up shop there. They'll stay there for quite some time. I thought that part of the movie was a little infuriating because I did respect that Jean lafitte owned it, but captain Brown was under his command and he was responsible, but he could have explained himself a little further than he took care of brown. I think that might have tempered it a little bit with the angry mob. Yeah, that part is the weakest part of the entire film in my opinion. I agree with you. The real lafite would not have fallen on his sword for captain Brown. I mean, these guys are pirates. As I mentioned, they're looking out for number one. The real lafitte, even if that had happened, would have said, hey, look, this guy was acting not on my orders. In fact, he was violating my orders. I had the guy hanged for crying out loud. So give me a break. And I think in reality, people would have calmed down and he might still have had to have left, but yeah, that's just pure Hollywood all that. Go find a rope. Right now, let's hang him right now. It's ridiculous. I think one of the other things that I had to keep reminding myself of was this is really a long time after the classic age of pirates. Really, in a lot of ways, Jean lafitte was an international business man. He had a legal right to some of the piracy that he was doing. He was not a full blown pirate. He was a privateer and he was doing trading. That this was not just our and killing people. It was a business. It really was. And he saw himself as a businessman and even the leader of a community, as we said, he liked fine clothes. Wine women and song. He didn't go around. It's even funny because they allude to that in the movie. The British are looking at them when they're having dinner and they're making their offer to him. And one of the British officers says, well, you're not really what I expected. And he says, did you expect me to have a peg leg and an eye patch? That was really funny. Character of lafitte is just wonderful in this movie. And as is yule Brenner. Now let's talk a little bit about the historical accuracy. This movie is very theatrical and a play like style. Our mutual comrade at a microphone and friend Sean mciver, he's spoken to this point and other movie based podcast episodes of the movies of this time. They were not filmed in a realistic fashion at all. And I don't think I saw a single setting in this movie that wasn't obviously a sound stage. So what was maybe one of the big things of accuracy? Because I mean, in a lot of ways, we don't want to get too hung up on accuracy. It is a film. But what's something that may be really ground your gears about this movie? Well, again, the number one problem with the movie, which we've already discussed is that there's no Pierre. Jean lafitte and pier doesn't get the credit for the things he did. But again, I think they were just trying to simplify it and the Jean lafitte in the movie combined features of pier and the real Jean lafitte. But we don't need to beat that dead horse anymore. Let's talk about Andrew Jackson also played by one of my all time favorite actors Charlton Heston. I love Charlton Heston. I love ten commandments. I love Ben Hur. So many good movies with him, but you've done an episode on el cid. Just a legend of the screen. But he's pretty good as Jackson. He is shown in the movie as being much older than the actual Jackson was. He's got the big shock of white hair just purely white, but the real Jackson was 47 at the battle of New Orleans. His hair was not yet white. And heston tries to do a southern accent, of course, Jackson was from Tennessee. He grew up in the Carolinas and very southern man. He would have spoken with a southern accent. But again, heston tries the accent goes in and out, like a lot of actors and movies at that time. I just don't think until maybe the 80s maybe that they tried really hard to be really accurate with things like accents and hair styles and things like that. Like you look at the movie tora tora tora, which is a fantastic movie about Pearl Harbor, came out in 1970, but the haircuts are not 40s haircuts. They're 1960s haircuts. Things like that. And so yeah, it's just that just wasn't a big concern that type of accuracy, whereas if you watch the 2019 midway movie, those are 40s haircuts. Anyway, that's kind of a minor thing. Hair and beards are one of my pet peeves, but they should have made him look a little younger. The actual heston was about the right age, but for some reason they tried to make him look way older. They did the same thing with governor cleburne. Now, having said that, there are some really nice little details that I like, they threw in there about halfway through the movie, Jackson is always whining and dining and talking to people and all that. And then he goes into his office and he unbuttons his uniform coat and he touches his side very gingerly. You can tell he's got a wound and old wound there, and he's just kind of, he makes a face. It obviously hurts. And that is a wonderful detail. Most people probably won't even notice that, but Jackson actually did have a bullet in his chest from a duel that he had fought in 1806. And I won't go into the details of the duel, but during this scene, lafitte sneaks in through the window, threatens to shoot Jackson if he doesn't give him a pardon, which is I could not find any evidence that that is accurate. I've read several biographies of Andrew Jackson, I've read about lafitte. I've read about the battle of New Orleans and nowhere have I ever seen anything written that lafitte actually threatened Jackson, but it's good drama and Jackson tells

"Finds out lafitte was inadvertently behind the sinking of the Cunningham, the people at the party attempt to hang on the feet, but Andrew Jackson stops them because he gave lafitte a general pardon, then lafitte is seen at the end, sailing two, you'll have to wait and find out. We'll get into that a little bit at the end. Can you maybe fill out Jean lafitte's bio a little bit? Jean lafitte was portrayed by Yul Brynner quite well, I would say. But who was the real Jean lafitte? Yeah, a great performance by ewell brunner with hair this time. That's unusual. Yeah. But yeah, I just love your brinner, one of my all time favorite actors. If you like my ten favorite of all time, but I'm going to start by addressing the elephant in the room. Let's just go ahead and get it out right here. And that is the fact that Jean lafitte did not act alone. He was very much in partnership with his brother, Pierre lafitte. And so it doesn't make any sense when you talk about the actual historic Jean lafitte, it makes no sense to talk about him in isolation. So I'm going to be talking about the lafitte's, the brothers lafitte, Jean and Pierre. There may have been a third brother too, but I'll talk about that later, historians are not sure, but there were definitely two, they worked in tandem, and the movie completely cuts out Pierre, Pierre must have been rolling over in his greatest. What about me? I think what they did is they I think they kind of combine them together and kind of made a composite character. They combined some aspects of peer and John into the character of Jean. Jean lafitte was born around 1780. We're not sure where, probably in either France or son domingue, that was the French colony that later became Haiti, but possibly in Spain or even New York State. It's just his origins are shaded in mystery. So Jean and his brother Pierre had the same father who was a traitor, a man of the sea, like they would become. But they had different mothers. The air became a smuggler around the year 1800. It was a little older than John. And by 1805 Jean himself was operating a warehouse in New Orleans from which good smuggled in by Pierre were distributed. Both lafittes, but especially Jean were intelligent resourceful Jean, in particular, he was fluent in French. She was fluent in English. He had a working knowledge of Spanish. He loved drinking, gambling, women, and fine clothes, and the movie gets right. He's always almost always wearing really nice, colorful clothes, and he has a nice house. He's got plates made out of solid gold. I don't know if the real lafite was that wealthy, but he was a Bon vivant. And when you get to January of 1808, the U.S. began enforcing a law that had been passed the previous year called the embargo act, Steve and I talked about this in the very first episode of our series on the war of 1812. The embargo act basically said ships don't leave and they don't come in. There will be no trade with anybody. And the lafitte's, of course, being smugglers, they said, we're not going to follow that law. They move their base of operations to a group of islands and barataria bay, which is off the coast of southern Louisiana. Their ships would land there and John and piers men would load their smuggled goods onto smaller boats to take them to New Orleans. They would go all through the bayous and the swamps and everything and they developed a great knowledge of the terrain there. Now Pierre stayed mostly in New Orleans itself, managing their affairs while Jeanne stayed in barataria managing the outfitting of privateers in the smuggling of stolen goods. By 1810, the lafitte's business was booming and barataria had become a crowded, busy port. The lafitte's main commodity and the movie definitely does not address this issue because they wanted to make lafitte look like a really, really good guy, a wonderful guy. A little bit of an edge, perhaps, but they do not mention in the movie the fact that the lafitte's main commodity was African slaves. The U.S. had outlawed the international slave trade in 1808. So the lafitte's would smuggle in slaves from the Caribbean and other places they would buy them cheaply in the West Indies. Smuggle them in Louisiana where they were expensive because of the federal ban on slave imports that I mentioned. So that's a very seedy and dark side of the lafitte that, again, the movie completely ignores. In 1812, the lafitte began engaging in piracy, mainly against Spanish ships. They did not attack American ships as a policy. And they were actually under the flag of cartagena, which was a city which is now in modern day Colombia at the time that was breaking away from the Spanish Empire. So they were technically privateers and I guess mentioned the difference. A privateer is basically a pirate with a piece of paper from a government saying you have my blessing to do this. We talked about that also in the battle series. It's a legal pirate. But cartagena wasn't really recognized by a lot of other nations. So it was questionable and certainly not accepted by all nations that they were actually legal privateers. That's why they were called pirates often. And they had a reputation for treating captured crew members well. And they often returned captured ships. They tended to not just take the stuff, but they would leave the crew alive and just give them the ship right back. They didn't always do that, but they sometimes did. And the people of New Orleans were grateful to the lafitte for bringing them luxuries. They couldn't get due to the blockade. And I think the movie does a good job of capturing this. This movie in general, like a lot of Hollywood movies based on historical events. They get the big picture right, and they get a lot of some of the details right, but then they completely make up other things and completely get some things wrong. But we see in the opening part of the movie this outdoor bizarre where Jean lafitte and his men are selling all these smuggled in goods, these goods that they had basically captured and stolen from Spanish ships and then brought in and they sell them at high prices. And that's how they make their money. But of course, that's illegal in the U.S., so when the authorities start to come, they pack everything up and they disappear. And that did tend to happen from time to time. The government was often trying to stop this smuggling that the lafittes and their allies were doing, but they had very little success. It's really interesting gray zone that the lafitte's operated and legal pirates, but they're remit, so to speak is not from the United States and it's not from Britain. They're kind of helping the Americans, but they don't really have any obligation to do that. Did you get any sense in your research? Identify as you might say, identify as American or as something else. Well, he first and foremost, he saw himself as a French man, but he didn't have any real official ties to the French government. During the war of 1812, at least the early part, the British were not just fighting in North America. They were also fighting the French. They were fighting Napoleon, but Napoleon was defeated in 1814 and at that point the British were able to devote their full attention to the Americas. And that's what brings on the battle of New Orleans, which we'll talk more about later. But lafitte, in the movie, they portray him as desperately wanting to be an American, like he wants to become an American citizen and they give that as the reason why he doesn't attack American ships. But in reality, the real lafitte, his loyalty was to Jean lafitte. It was loyal to whatever was going to promote his situation, whatever was going to promote prosperity and bring him wealth. If that meant working for cartagena, fine, he'll work for cartagena. And later on, he actually turns and this is well after the war and after the events described in the movie, but he actually goes on the Spanish payroll in spies on people who are working to undermine Spanish authority in Mexico and other parts of their empire. So yeah, the lafitte were loyal to the lafittes. That's what they identified as their own personal entity. What was happening in New Orleans and how was lafitte involved with what was going on in this lead up to the great battle of New Orleans. Okay, so when the war of 1812 broke out, the U.S. government gave letters of Mark. And that is one of those letters I told you about that was it was an official

Andrew Jackson leads the defense of New Orleans against the British, but he needs a little help. Lafitte does help with the little suspense, despite the fact that the people of New Orleans destroy lafitte's pirate base after the battle, there's this party scene with the excessively long dance number. And we think everything's good with the dances, but at the somehow everyone finds out lafitte was inadvertently behind the sinking of the Cunningham, the people at the party attempt to hang on the feet, but Andrew Jackson stops them because he gave lafitte a general pardon, then lafitte is seen at the end, sailing two, you'll have to wait and find out. We'll get into that a little bit at the end. Can you maybe fill out Jean lafitte's bio a little bit? Jean lafitte was portrayed by Yul Brynner quite well, I would say. But who was the real Jean lafitte? Yeah, a great performance by ewell brunner with hair this time. That's unusual. Yeah. But yeah, I just love your brinner, one of my all time favorite actors. If you like my ten favorite of all time, but I'm going to start by addressing the elephant in the room. Let's just go ahead and get it out right here. And that is the fact that Jean lafitte did not act alone. He was very much in partnership with his brother, Pierre lafitte. And so it doesn't make any sense when you talk about the actual historic Jean lafitte, it makes no sense to talk about him in isolation. So I'm going to be talking about the lafitte's, the brothers lafitte, Jean and Pierre. There may have been a third brother too, but I'll talk about that later, historians are not sure, but there were definitely two, they worked in tandem, and the movie completely cuts out Pierre, Pierre must have been rolling over in his greatest. What about me? I think what they did is they I think they kind of combine them together and kind of made a composite character. They combined some aspects of peer and John into the character of Jean. Jean lafitte was born around 1780. We're not sure where, probably in either France or son domingue, that was the French colony that later became Haiti, but possibly in Spain or even New York State. It's just his origins are shaded in mystery. So Jean and his brother Pierre had the same father who was a traitor, a man of the sea, like they would become. But they had different mothers. The air became a smuggler around the year 1800. It was a little older than John. And by 1805 Jean himself was operating a warehouse in New Orleans from which good smuggled in by Pierre were distributed. Both lafittes, but especially Jean were intelligent resourceful Jean, in particular, he was fluent in French. She was fluent in English. He had a working knowledge of Spanish. He loved drinking, gambling, women, and fine clothes, and the movie gets right. He's always almost always wearing really nice, colorful clothes, and he has a nice house. He's got plates made out of solid gold. I don't know if the real lafite was that wealthy, but he was a Bon vivant. And when you get to January of 1808, the U.S. began enforcing a law that had been passed the previous year called the embargo act, Steve and I talked about this in the very first episode of our series on the war of 1812. The embargo act basically said ships don't leave and they don't come in. There will be no trade with anybody. And the lafitte's, of course, being smugglers, they said, we're not going to follow that law. They move their base of operations to a group of islands and barataria bay, which is off the coast of southern Louisiana. Their ships would land there and John and piers men would load their smuggled goods onto smaller boats to take them to New Orleans. They would go all through the bayous and the swamps and everything and they developed a great knowledge of the terrain there. Now Pierre stayed mostly in New Orleans itself, managing their affairs while Jeanne stayed in barataria managing the outfitting of privateers in the smuggling of stolen goods. By 1810, the lafitte's business was booming and barataria had become a crowded, busy port. The lafitte's main commodity and the movie definitely does not address this issue because they wanted to make lafitte look like a really, really good guy, a wonderful guy. A little bit of an edge, perhaps, but they do not mention in the movie the fact that the lafitte's main commodity was African slaves. The U.S. had outlawed the international slave trade in 1808. So the lafitte's would smuggle in slaves from the Caribbean and other places they would buy them cheaply in the West Indies. Smuggle them in Louisiana where they were expensive because of the federal ban on slave imports that I mentioned. So that's a very seedy and dark side of the lafitte that, again, the movie completely ignores. In 1812, the lafitte began engaging in piracy, mainly against Spanish ships. They did not attack American ships as a policy. And they were actually under the flag of cartagena, which was a city which is now in modern day Colombia at the time that was breaking away from the Spanish Empire. So they were technically privateers and I guess mentioned the difference. A privateer is basically a pirate with a piece of paper from a government saying you have my blessing to do this. We talked about that also in the battle series. It's a legal pirate. But cartagena wasn't really recognized by a lot of other nations. So it was questionable and certainly not accepted by all nations that they were actually legal privateers. That's why they were called pirates often. And they had a reputation for treating captured crew members well. And they often returned captured ships. They tended to not just take the stuff, but they would leave the crew alive and just give them the ship right back. They didn't always do that, but they sometimes did. And the people of New Orleans were grateful to the lafitte for bringing them luxuries. They couldn't get due to the blockade. And I think the movie does a good job of capturing this. This movie in general, like a lot of Hollywood movies based on historical events. They get the big picture right, and they get a lot of some of the details right, but then they completely make up other things and completely get some things wrong.

"1938 version. And so this is a remake of that. But because of his health, he just wasn't able to do it. So he handed it off to Anthony Quinn, also a legendary actor, not so famous as a director, Anthony Quinn was Cecil B. DeMille's son in law at the time. And yeah, and so Quinn took it over, and this ended up being the only film that Anthony Quinn ever directed. The brief synopsis of this movie, there's really not too much to it.

This battle that's the focus of the movie happened technically after the war was over. So that's even another part that really one of the key battles of the war of 1812 was after the armistice was signed in Europe. Yeah, but it hadn't been ratified yet.

"Hello, listeners, this is James as always. And I've got a special episode for you today. This is a movie discussion that I did with Steve Guerra. As you know, I love movies, especially history movies. Steve loves movies after all the man has an entire podcast about movies. When we were working on our war of 1812 series, we decided we would try to do one or two movie episodes. So we went back and looked and we found that there are very few movies on the war of 1812, especially when you compare it to say World War II, and especially there are very few recent war of 1812 movies. So we ended up just doing one. So if you don't like movie episodes and I know some people don't. That's fine. You can just skip this one and next week we'll kick off the Texas revolution. But even if you don't like movie episodes, I encourage you to give this one a try because as I always try to do, we don't just discuss the movie itself, but we go pretty deep into the history behind the movie. This is a fascinating movie about Jean lafitte and his relationship with Andrew Jackson. Around the time of the battle of New Orleans, and it's not a fantastic movie, I'll go ahead and just spoil that for you. I imagine most of you haven't seen it unless you're really into classic movies. But again, like a lot of movies, it gets some things right and it gets a lot of things wrong. But you will learn quite a bit about Jean lafitte, the pirates, as well as a different way of looking at the battle of New Orleans. So give it a try, let me know what you think. Well, there's one other thing I want to do. I hate to do this in a way, but the number of new patrons I've gotten on the Patreon site for key battles of American history has kind of stagnated for a while. As you know, this podcast is mostly a labor of love. I have expenses and I could really use your support if you would consider going to my Patreon page, which you just go to Patreon dot com and search for key battles of American history. And you'll find that I have an organization sort of set up called early raiders. And you can support the show for as little as $2 a month. That's like a McDonald's coffee, not even as much as a Starbucks coffee. They're also higher levels if you want. And even at the lowest support level, you'll get ad free episodes. You get the episodes earlier and if you go to higher levels, you can get special bonus episodes and even the ability to commission an episode of your own choosing. Would you seriously consider that I would be very grateful if some of you would go ahead and join up and help support the podcast. Thank you so much. I appreciate all of you. And now here is a collaboration episode between me and Steve Guerra. From key battles of American history and beyond the big screen. I hope you enjoy it. Take care. Welcome back to another beyond the big screen and key battles of American history, crossover episode. We have today James early of key battles of American history podcast and today we're going to talk about the war of 1812 through the lens of the 1958 movie, the Buccaneer. Now, James and I did a series of episodes for the key battles of American histories, the James asked me to help out. I don't know why, but he did. I hope it turned out okay. But so we always like to talk about a movie that goes along with the battle. And there's really only one movie, James, how are you doing this fine morning? I am just dandy. I'm looking forward to this discussion. Regarding the movies, there are actually several movies about the war of 1812, but they're all very old with a few exceptions. I mean, even going back to the silent era, this movie itself, the Buccaneer from 1958 is actually one of the more recent war of 1812 movies, and it itself is a remake of an earlier 1938 version of the Buccaneer, which I have not seen. Cecil B. DeMille was the director on the earlier one, and he was heavily involved in this one as well, though he actually didn't direct it. But we'll talk more about that later. But yeah, if you want something like Gettysburg or Lincoln or glory or something like turn Washington spies or even the Patriots, a recent war of 1812 movie that's at least decent. You're out of luck. I don't know why. I think it's just part of the fact that the war of 1812 is generally forgotten by Americans, most Americans know absolutely nothing about it. Maybe they know about the battle of New Orleans, but in the burning of The White House, but it's just not a war that captures the American imagination like the Civil War, the Revolutionary War, World War II does. When you think about World War II, there's new movies coming out all the time. Like almost every year, there's a new World War II movie. And that's a good thing, but I wish we could get some more of 1812 movies. There was a movie, a Canadian movie that came out around 2018, I can't even remember the name of it. I watched it and I just thought it was awful. Stephen, I were thinking about discussing that one, but it was just so bad. I said, Steve, we're not doing this now, or at least I'm not doing this. Steve and I have been talking about it. It's a cross between Friday the 13th or nightmare on Elm Street with last of the mohicans. So think a horror slasher movie set in 1812 or 1813. So we're not doing that one. This one is not a new movie, but again one of the newer ones, one of the better ones. It's a fun movie and we'll have a lot to say about it later. Yeah, I would really love to see maybe even a mini series based on the war of 1812 of there's a lot of drama with just the burning of Washington with what was going on with Madison. I think maybe it's not as exciting maybe or maybe it doesn't have the charisma of some of the other wars and there's not a lot of you really can't say rob rob America after it. It's kind of hard to place it. Yeah, as we discussed in our series on that, it was basically a stalemate. There really wasn't a clear winner in loser. If you think about the Revolutionary War, the Americans won, clearly, and it's a great patriotic time for Americans. If you think about World War II, we defeated the Nazis and the Japanese. You think about the Civil War, at least if you're pro union, the union won. They defeated the south and slavery was eventually abolished.

"You know what I think Mac Jones is going to improve because he's the type of guy that works that way. He's the consummate professional, which is what Bill Belichick wants in his quarterback. It's what he's used to when you look at the way he's transformed his body into off season, continue to work to get the grass and totally master the offense and they said he's taking more of a leadership role as world as well. Mac Jones, we all thought it when he skipped up to the stage when his name was called at 15 that the New England Patriots was the perfect place for this young man to play and he's already showing that he's made of the stuff that the Patriots are. Well, the Patriots took Mac Jones last season 15th overall when some thought that he might go all the way third overall of the forty-niners and speaking of the forty-niners with Jimmy G seeking a trade, Trey Lance seems primed to step into the spotlight under center. Is he ready? You guys have mixed reviews. Stay tuned here on NFL live. And how about this from VAERS quarterback Justin field to arrive at his media availability today wearing a T-shirt with the initials JD Anna in honor of our longtime colleague, Jeff Dickerson, who passed away of cancer back in December, a nice tribute from the bears young quarterback. We miss you JD more ahead here. Hold on. Breaking news in the NFL live, Adam Schefter with the latest out of Tampa in a new wide receiver. Yeah, feel a short time ago. Julio Jones, the free agent wide receiver, reached agreement with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on a one year contract that gives camp an awful lot of offensive firepower at the wide receiver position. Julio Jones, another former falcon Russell gage, not to mention Mike Evans and Chris Godwin coming off his ACL injury. That's four really good wide receivers for Tampa and Tom Brady, but Julio Jones who almost won a Super Bowl before losing the Tom Brady. Now joins them in an effort to try to win one. What's the old expression? If you can't beat them, join them from one Super Bowl contender to another, the forty-niners kicked off their training camp today after falling just short of it. I mean, in the Super Bowl last season, although he requested a trade back in April, deebo, Samuel, was a training camp today, Samuels entering the final year of his rookie contract. He's underpaid. Last week, the four niners gave Jimmy Garoppolo permission to seek a trade Jimmy G has been cleared to start practicing after officers and shoulder surgery, but with his eventual departure the forty-niners are going to turn things over to Trey Lance. The third pick overall in last year's draft, he made two starts last season, highlighted by a week 17 win against a Texans earlier today, Kyle Shannon spoke about the team's decision to move on from Jimmy G and on to Trey Lance. Jimmy understands where we're at, we understand where we're at. I can't tell you how appreciative I have been of Jimmy and him being here. And so appreciative of what he did for us last year. I think Jimmy, and we knew what movie made the year before on that. Jimmy did a hell of a job coming to the camp and went in that job and taking us real close to the Super Bowl. But we have moved on to Trey, we're starting to camp out this way. We think Jimmy would have been traded if the surgery didn't happen. And it did, he needed to do it. So there's no ill will there at all. Do you think the four to niners believe they will be better with Trey Lance as their starter rather than Jimmy Garoppolo? Well, it's a situation here where Kyle Shanahan with one 6 word public proclamation today field really turned the page by saying we have moved on to trade. And you knew that they were going to be going in that direction, but to hear it announced publicly before they even begin training camp with something else. And they wouldn't have made the move unless they felt like they saw what they needed to from Trey Lance during OTAs if you speak to some of the players who were a part of the ota program over the last month. They felt like Trey Lance really made progress every single day got better and better. And I think the forty-niners are looking for more of that with training camp getting underway. They want to try to give Trey Lance as many reps as he can get with him hopefully improving every single day. That's the idea of the team and that's why Kyle Shanahan said what he did today. We have moved on to Trey. Listen, we knew that this was coming. We knew that this day was looming when they moved up to number three and they drafted trade lands. And what's you're hoping is if you're the San Francisco forty-niners that you saw a ceiling with Jimmy Garoppolo that wasn't going to get you over the hump. The mister to Emmanuel Sanders on the post route of the Super Bowl is one I always go back to. I believe if that throw is made, stories are different for both Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo. Now you go to the bigger guy, you go to the more physical guy, the guy with the stronger arm can make some plays out of nothing and you hope that that allows you to win the big games when you aren't the better roster. But here is what I'll say. Be careful what you wish for. For all we say about Jimmy G for all the ways we think that he is not an elite quarterback. His ratio of wins compared to the players that have played when he was absent for the San Francisco forty-niners is absolutely crazy. And so Jimmy Garoppolo did what he had to do to help this team win. Now they hope Trey Lance can get them over the hump. But I'm going to say this about Jimmy Garoppolo. Look, Jimmy Garoppolo soon as he gets healthy, I've already said if he gets cut and they don't trade him Seattle needs to sign this guy immediately because I think he makes that football team. Infinitely better it makes them a content. That being said, you do not make the move that San Francisco made to then sit on it regardless of what quarterback they ultimately wound up picking and it was Trey Lance. Remember at first supposed to be Mac Jones. But you don't make that move to then have that player sit. You made that move because you felt as though you needed something more out of the position to ultimately get your offense and your football team at a level if you thought was acceptable, which is a championship level. A sustainable championship level. So now you have another quote. Well, I guess you always have a choice in terms of whether or not you want to push back that timeline. But with Trey Lance, I think we've seen enough and obviously they've seen enough to where they say, hey, look, the time is now. The time is now. And I think this team is so invested in this position in this particular move, and then obviously this particular player, that it'll be one of the most talked about stories at the NFL this year, because remember, as good as Jimmy was, they still felt as though they needed something more. And that's why the lights are going to be white hot on this position with this football team. Life isn't about fairness, I suppose RC, but in some ways it feels unfair that Trey Lance is going to have the expectations be if they don't make the Super Bowl that perhaps the decision was the wrong one. This guy is barely played over the past three years at the same time. If we're going to move the sort of Super Bowl part of the equation often the side for a second, how would you define a successful season for a guy who over the past three years has started three total football games? It's very Lance has to make this a playoff caliber team. And when I say playoff caliber, it doesn't mean they have to go to the playoffs. When divisional playoff games get to the NFC championship, he has to show that they could be competitive that they can be a team that's in the hunt for the NFC west title. Trey Lance has to come out and not just be competent but be good and be a guy they win because of not in spite of he has to show that he can be the future. And Trey, I think Trey land RC Trey is a upside play for the long term. He may play well this year, but this is about a move that's being made for future seasons to come because they believe in his potential long-term. We're gonna wrap up NFL live with one more thing, staying in the NFC west and the rams are getting richer in the secondary as Sean mcvay. Not just part time DB loose. RC both of you former DBs wouldn't think about this. That's terrible leverage, terrible leverage. He's beat right away on the stem Cooper Cup did him like he did every quarterback that he faced last year. Maybe it makes more sense for Sean mcvay to stick to play calling and dialing up the right play at the right time. NFL live returns tomorrow.

"The ESPN fantasy football is the number one fantasy game and with the season right around the corner, get your leaks started now at ESPN dot com slash fantasy football and I am being told we might have some breaking news that could impact your fantasy draft, Adam Schiff there, as always, Johnny on the spot, what can you tell us as you are continuing to tweet away at it? Will feel the biggest free agent wide receiver out there Julio Jones has reached agreement with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on a one year contract and so Tom Brady gets another target in Tampa Julio Jones going to the Buccaneers on a one year deal big hiccup for them right now and obviously they now will have Russell gage from Atlanta. They'll have Julio Jones in Atlanta. Don't think this is a reflection of where Chris Godwin said. I think the team still expects God went to be back at some point in time, but Julio Jones is taking it right now for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. All right, Julio Jones is a massive name. That much is for sure Louis Riddick, but last year he was not the same player we have seen earlier in his career. What kind of addition is this in that table passing game? When he's healthy field, he's a guy who was a legitimate ex or Z a split end or a flanker, not really an inside type of player. And the guy who can really produce still explosive plays down the field because he's big, he's long, he's strong. He's fast. So he can do all those kind of things, but look, none of that really means anything with Julio because right now the number one thing that if you asked any personnel department about Julio Jones they'd say, well, is he going to be on the field? Is he going to be healthy? Tell me how many reps he's going to give me. How many games is he going to give me? How available is he going to be? That's why at this point is where you see this guy who has who has this type of resume signing a one year deal. I'd love to see what the contract would be and how it would be structured if it's incentive laden, which I assume it is. A lot of it baseball of his play time in his availability. I think that's really what it's come down to for him right now, because when he's on, he's as good as there is. And RC, okay, I'm sorry, go ahead, RC. Take it away. Yeah, this is an if pick up, right? If Julio is healthy, it helps us. This isn't one of those things that we are counting on him to be a day one starter and the BR receiver and catch all these footballs. No, they have other weapons. This is, if he is healthy, if he is able to be matched up on third and fourth corners on safeties and different things, this is a guy who can produce if he's available on the field. This is another Tom Brady pick up a Julio Jones who is late in his career who is no longer in his prime who struggles with injuries is thinking. If I am healthy, if I can get out there, I've seen Antonio Brown produce without having to be the number one target. I can do some of the same things with a guy like Tom Brady, I believe that's his thinking. I believe the Tampa Bay Buccaneers thinking is, if we get a little bit from Julio, it helps. Yes, Louis, chef mentioned that this is not a signing that necessarily is tied to the health of Chris goblin who's coming off of that torn ACL suffered late last regular season. So it still may I kind of wonder this. Do you feel as though a Julio Jones edition was needed for Tampa Bay as in without him, they are not yet at the threshold to be considered a top favorite in the NFC. And this is the kind of move that can push them over the top. Is that where this move sort of stems from? Now, I don't think so. You know, and I'll kind of like, you know, continue on with Ryan's point of view. Ryan starred on Julio, which is, look, I think anything that they get from him at this point is just kind of like gravy. It's just kind of like a cherry on top. Yeah. I don't think this is one of those moves where they say, we need a guy and he's going to be that guy that is going to give us a little bit of a bump because we feel as though we're deficient in that room in particular that being the wide receiver room because we don't know when Godwin's going to be available. I think this is one of those where it's like, look, it's Tom Brady. It's Tampa. It's sunshine. We don't need you to be the number one guy. We just need you to make sure that you have a good training regimen to keep you available as much as possible because if you are. Now for sure feel it makes them provided everyone is helping that wireless fever room. It makes them a very, very explosive offense instead of just a very explosive ball. Well, guess what? There were questions about Leonard fournette when he joined Tom Brady in Tampa. There were questions about Antonio Brown before he decided to do a striptease act in Tampa before he joined him. Tom Brady, and there are questions about Julio Jones thing on the field. There's something about Tom Brady that helps elevate the performance of other players and with Julio wanted to finish out his career on a winning note around the greatest quarterback of all time, something tells me that he'll be healthier than he's been that he'll be out on the field that he'll be available as a weapon and the Buccaneers are paying an awful lot of money right now to their group of wide receivers. Mike Edwin's Chris Godwin, Russell gage, the other former falcon who comes over to Tampa and now Julio Jones. There is an awful lot of wider talent in Tampa. Surrounding Tom and once again, Tom Brady is the magnet drawing players two Tampa, something tells me if Tom Brady didn't come out of retirement. I don't know the Julio Jones would have wound up in Tampa wanting to play with their quarterback down there, Kyle Trask or somebody. Yeah, a lot of mouths to feed now in Tampa, but if one offense is capable of doing it, it might be the box. They, as a team, led the NFL in terms of total past attempts last year, 731, quite a stark difference from where Julio was last year in Tennessee, a much more run first offense. All right, let's move from one NFC team that made the playoffs last year to another. That being the cowboys who fell short and home playoff game last season after some poor clock management late against the forty-niners doomed them and it caused a lot of people to look directly into the future of Mike McCarthy, their head koshi some thought might not even last in Tampa Bay going into this season. He was asked about it and here's an interview with the Dallas morning news. He said quote, it's irritating that the first question you ask me has nothing to do with how I do my job. I show up every day for work to win a championship. How do we win today? That's what I'm asking. My viewpoint is it's a non story. It's a media driven narrative, or at least a narrative driven outside my realm, end quote. All right, let's go right down to, well, Dallas normally, but Oxnard, let's get Edward or here from cowboys camp out in California Ed, both Mike McCarthy and Jerry Jones are going to our half dress the media today. I went to Jerry have to say about this matter. Well, you know, what Jerry Jones says about Mike McCarthy on the first day of training camp is far less important than what the owner is saying about his head coach after the final day of the season. Whenever that might be. Still, the subject of McCarthy's future is so obvious, especially with former cowboys assistant Sean Payton no longer coaching the New Orleans Saints that Jones raised it in his opening remarks, choosing not to wait to be asked about it. He described it as the most sensitive subject to him. Here's exactly what he had to say. I want to be real clear. He wouldn't be sitting here today if I didn't think he was the man to lead this team to a Super Bowl. He would not be. And I have choices. And so that's not meant to be insensitive to anybody. That's a fact. And so you guys write about a lot of those choices and they were there for my use, and I

"Than the accomplishments of the football team. The play on the field is not good right now. When that starts to happen, and then fingers start to get pointed. Quarterback to receiver receiver to quarterback. Defensive end of defensive coordinator. Now quarterback to fans, all the finger pointing starts to tear away at the fabric of a locker room and you need somebody in there. If it's miles Garrett, if it's Baker Mayfield, if it's Jarvis Landry, is it somebody's got to be The Rock in this locker room in this organization to make sure that they don't start to implode and fall apart inside out because when it's bad on the field, it starts to trickle into the locker room. And that's what I'm starting to sense from the Cleveland Browns. All the finger pointing, it's all gonna come back upon the individuals. All right, so the browns are at the ravens Sunday Night. And more on the ravens, guys, our ravens nation reporter Jameson Hensley tweeted this. Lamar Jackson didn't participate in Tuesday's walkthrough, but he was at the ravens facility today. Remember Jackson missed Sunday 16 to 13 win at Chicago because of an illness that was not COVID related. So keep an eye on that as we wonder exactly what's going on with the browns. Still to come on NFL live, the cowboys performance on Sunday has some of our analysts scratching their heads at where the eagles might have found their groove. We come back a deep dive into the NFC east and who might end up winning this division after all. NFL live is presented by KFC. There's a real urgency for us to get it right. So it's going to be a big challenge for us and we got to get back to playing the way we're capable of playing. For Tampa Bay. Touchdown. He's having his way with this defense because they're not making it very difficult for him to see why. This was the unit that really carried this team to Super Bowl title. Good win for our team. Obviously losing two straight really sucks in the NFL. Brad, it's not very straight. The bucks won big on Monday night, but it also brought us a special Tuesday addiction a big man ball and swagger. We couldn't let this go unnoticed. Ain't no way in there, we was going to let this go unnoticed. And I apologize Jason Gary, but you went out with a bang. But you got a big fella in the end zone. Andrew Thomas university of Georgia. He got the Jordan one zone. This was a great play called. This was not boring. This had some nuance to it and look at the big fella Goa and high point the football. I know the RC. That's no appreciate that. Look at the vertical. Yes, we jump higher than over a piece of paper. Yes, we have pants. Yes, we can come down security and then dance. And then dang it. With the whole crew. Here's the thing that I love about it. The swag was on point because he had to join one cleat tone. He went up in elevated and caught the football and in our mind this big man, we are the best athletes to ever live, and this is further proof that big fast people beat little fast before. Two things to big people last night. He dialed up that touchdown. He also threw an interception to Steve mcclinton, and that's why he'll handle jobs. All right, a lot of money. We're trying to be getting a little positivity about the Giants, but now to the reality of the NFC east standings, you won't even see him on the screen right here because they're in last place, but the NFC east has always been a competitive affair, the division has gone 16 straight seasons without a repeat champ. The cowboys are in the driver's seat there with FBI giving them at least a 90% chance to make the playoffs and win this division Philly has been making moves winning three of the last four have FBI's easiest remaining schedule while Dallas is remaining slate's middle of the pack in terms of difficulty. So, you know, let's start with the eagles. What has been the catalyst of their turnaround in recent weeks? It's the run game. It's simple. And I love, by the way, just saying, run game, because it applies to more than just one player. Jalen hurts, his ability, what he does on the ground, it empowers the entire team. It empowers the offensive line, which is to arguably the best run blocking group in the NFL right now. It empowers the running black facts. Watching the eagles call so much zone read, it does remind me a little bit of the Seahawks in 2012 if you'll indulge me a little bit and a walk down memory lane things aren't so great in Seattle but back when they were happier. There's a reason why Marshawn Lynch had a renaissance when he came to Seattle because having Russell Wilson next to him, the threat of him keeping open things up for him. Watch the linebackers playing the eagles man in every game. They do not know what to do. It is an extremely difficult run game to defend and an extremely fun run game to watch. 100%. Everyone, make sure you watch NFL live next week because we are going to dive into this kind of topic a lot. But think of all the offense in the NFL that we've talked about glowingly this year. It's not 2018 or 2019 or 20 anymore. It's the teams that we feel can run the football really well because the market fences are playing. And mean is right with their run game, the variety of Philadelphia. Philadelphia is doing it so well. And I honestly feel confident saying this there are team you don't want to play. They are team you don't want to play in Dallas directly to you. They're a team you don't want in the playoffs. Think about the eagles in the way they're constructed, right? They Dallas Cowboys strength is their offensive line. The Philadelphia eagle strength is their defensive line. Also, they got a defensive player of the year cornerback as well. Now the eagle strength. Their offensive line, the cowboy strength, their defensive line. Yeah. So you're talking about a team that can kind of minimize the strength of the Dallas Cowboys. And they play week 18. And I think Dallas is going to win the division still. I think, you know, Philadelphia is way more attached to like Carolina and New Orleans and San Francisco and Minnesota. Yeah. But they are trending towards becoming a team that you don't want to play. And they're trending towards becoming a team Dallas in your division that you don't want to get in. A good reminder that that week 18 could come down to a lot in variety and divisions. But Marcus, let's talk about the cowboys. I'm in it here. How concerned are you about what you've seen on the field the last two weeks from Dallas? I'm actually not that concerned y'all. And I got to be honest with you, it doesn't have anything to do with Dallas. I think the Denver game was a blip on the radar. And when I look at the Kansas City game, obviously the offense took a step back. And there are reasons for that, but ultimately, you got to play to win these games and you got to do what you can do successfully. I think that was got a little bit drunk on the success. They had pushing the ball down the football field and they needed this Kansas City game to remind them of where they're actually built. And how they're built in order to beat teams and then help facilitate what they do down the field. Here's my concern with the Dallas Cowboys going forward. Will the complacency take over the way you call football game? And play football games. For me, it's about being mental. I'm with you today. And I understand the fear of what the eagles do as a defensive lineman trying to find spaces and no man's land, but remember people fear what the Dallas Cowboys do as well when they are doing it. And that's the point that I want to get across. They better get back to being the team that they were multiplicity wise as opposed to being one dimensional. Yeah, and I agree with Marcus. You don't get to a point to where you think the Dallas Cowboys are out of it, right? Or they can't compete to win an NFC championship. I'm definitely not on that high I was early on in the season because yes, when you have the game against the different Broncos it is just a blip. You think to yourself, okay, dak was out he didn't get the opportunity to practice he was a little rusty in the defense needed to have a little wake up call and he played better the last two weeks. But when you see a team in two of three weeks, not operate at a high level, but more importantly, not show up to a game of this magnitude. That's my issue. Because every game when you get to the playoffs, even week 18 against the Philadelphia Eagles, is going to be a game of that magnitude, what type of energy are you going to bring? What type of consistency are you going to bring and what level of confidence do you have in your coaching staff to make proper adjustments, we have to see those things happen down the line? Guys, let's get some news here before we go. New one NFL live from jets nation reporter rich dimini.

"Played since october. What would you expect from him week. One against the buccaneers guys. Get normally get off to a slow start after. They're coming off significant injury in normally. If they come up injured scale they play somewhat in the preseason. You'd like to think so. I'm expecting the doctor. Probably get off to a slow start now. I'm not saying you're going through four hundred yards. But he's probably going to be a little rusty if he does because he's not going to have the rhythm His mesh points going probably be off being an a situation like that but he's got two weeks in between now and a week from yes. Basically we Yesterday two weeks from yesterday to get ready for september night against the tampa bay buccaneer. How much can they build him up without setting him back. You're gonna have you us. Capital twelve fifteen throws a day and then expect because you expect tampa labrum with tap against the ahead early wanted. Is that going back to what he's been a when he's been doing the last two and half years skip falling behind throwing a budgetize late in the ball game and ended up with somewhere between thirty thirty five and fifty throws so. If that's the case how do you do that when you're only allowed to throw the ball sometimes about somewhere around twenty twenty to twenty five times in in practices. So that's i think you've got to get off to a slow start. I think if he can throw without having any setbacks where he's not mayhem arm is sore. And i really can't throw as long as you didn't have setbacks but i still believe he's going to get up to this little star because that's what normally happens guys get off to a slow start coming up significant injury because they like okay am i. Am i back all the way back. And it's gonna take some time for him because like i said he didn't get that pop in preseason he didn't get any preseason game but i know preseason scripted and is a lot of stuff but you still need that so i'm just saying he gets off to a somewhat of a slow start..

I think they're more capable of winning the super bowl just because of their defense right lamar jackson he's been. Mvp candidates proven. Everyone wrong they have the number one rushing attack the nfl last year and the year before m ever top five defense and so. I'm going the mark jackson baltimore ravens. Be more all day. Baby darlington how about you. I go josh allen here. I believe that the bills have been building. Something all along very progressively but quite honestly just vert meticulously. This is an organization under brendan being. That has made all the right moves to this point. I think the josh allen has set the bills up to be a position to potentially win the super bowl. Yes even this year methodical development taking one step after another. I the playoffs thing last year. All the way to the championship game. Let's see where it goes from here. D- would which of these three guys would. You bet wins the championship this season. Yeah i'm to echo. Jeff here josh allen. The buffalo bills and i think the buffalo bills organization just put on a massive class. And how you build around a young quarterback and got to give credit to all the parties involved. And i just look at when i look at josh allen. I look at the most dynamic quarterback of the three now only his leg his arm. This guys is wanted most supremely talented passes. We've seen come into the league and he's only getting better and what that team around him. I like the buffalo bills out of those three. So here's what i would say. Is i make my pick. If you were just choosing amongst the three quarterbacks you might take baker mayfield last. But i would take his team. I i will take the cleveland browns and baker mayfield to be the likeliest. Wanna do it. I i have great respect for the bills. And what they've built and all the talent they have on their team and obviously the ravens a really good. But i think if you just look at the names on the backs of the jerseys. The browns might be the most talented team in the entire. Afc and that's inclusive of everyone. I think they take a step forward this year. Particularly with the return of odell. I've got baker mayfield and the browns as the likeliest to win it again.

"But i think you know maybe he went. Take count nostalgia. Yeah he probably would this this whole cap space stuff is it's a. It's always a mess every year. Nobody ever understands. I don't care what you say. Nobody understands the cap stuff and this year is especially difficult because we don't know what the is. Yeah and it's hard to find information and it's like on when i'm taking my notes and i go to spiral i have to. I copy down the figures exactly because they'll change them and then not explain why they changed or how it changed. And you'll never be able to see where you got your number or you know what's different so i like to make sure i get a real time. Look at what. They're calculating speaking to the tight ends. You know. tom brady threw the super bowl trophy. The lombardi trophy to came braid in those guys right and that that made big news. I was not aware that they threw it to somebody to another boat as day. Yeah i saw the video with the other day. I was like how come nobody's talking about that. Was tom brady. So apparently here's for just throwing it from both. The i didn't see lombardi. Karen get all mad about the other ones like. She wanted that apology from tom. Brady nobody else. She's ridiculous Okay all clair anthony. All-clear is also up for free agency. Yeah i think we can get him for not very much like these guys. And tanner hudson he. No they don't cost a whole lot. So i think you bring them back on are often wrote if you do it Offensive of line except here bottle. I know i'm surprised that he got Offensive line. we got joe. Hague josh wells and erin stingy and achey shipley. He's a healthy scratch. 'cause he has that neck injury that his career ending so this is kind of a technicality to have him on the list. I would scratch everyone but aaron stingy. I would resign erin skinny because he played well in campus absence. And i think you reward that so he made two hundred and fifty thousand last year with i mean seven hundred and fifty thousand with the bucks last year so i think you bring him back but joe hague josh. Well gap grade would demar. Dotson bag did they. Is he gone broncos. Yeah.

"But i'm just thinking about it. Imagine if we'd had vida all year like think about that you know what i mean like. How much much more calm and the beginning you know so that we aren't so that you know that would be the only thing a little concerned about is the inability to get off the field. I think a little bit of that is the soft zone. I get not getting plays over the top and you gotta get off the field too because this often quicken you gotta get him the ball and if you can't get the ball in the playoffs that's going to be concerned but other than that. I mean this team is rolling. It's great to see a glad right guard. i hope he's okay And i mean rocks.
