Quarterback Injury and Overtime Loss
00:00:00
Speaker
Our quarterback got hurt at the end of the guy who throws the ball, the main guy. He got hurt at the end of the fourth quarter, and we ended up going into overtime. And we didn't have our main primary quarterback, so we basically lost because of that.
00:00:23
Speaker
We lost by a field goal, which is three points. So kind of sucks. It was all right.
Jacksonville's Prime-Time Football Return
00:00:30
Speaker
It was the first, it was the first Monday night football game in Jacksonville since 12 years ago.
00:00:39
Speaker
It's just, we've never had a really good team to have a Monday night football game. Oh, Monday's important. Monday's prime time football. Yeah. Cause it's only one game on and it happens at APM when everybody's home, you know, they're, you know, watching football and stuff like that. And there's only one game on.
Jacksonville's Playoff Prospects
00:00:57
Speaker
So, um, there's been a Monday night football game forever, but it's been 12 years since we were on it because our team sucks so bad that, uh,
00:01:08
Speaker
this year we almost had a one seed, which is like the highest playoff seed you can get really. But now we're probably gonna be second seed.
00:01:22
Speaker
I was just checking. Uh, we, we also have Monday night game at that time. I never thought of it as prime time. Yeah. That's prime time. Eight
Champions League Overview
00:01:33
Speaker
o'clock. No, but no, the dynamic here is different because we have champions league midweek and when the team, so the way it works is during the weekend football teams play against each other. Usually Friday, Saturday, Sunday, big games are on Sunday usually. Okay.
00:01:51
Speaker
And, um, but the, the highest thing in football is, um, or soccer, if you want to call it that, um, the champions of each country, they go to a thing called the champions league. So imagine my team, Porto.
00:02:11
Speaker
It's not just the champions, it's first and second place. There's a country ranking. So Portugal, two teams go, maybe three, not sure. Spain, four or five teams go. Italy, England, more teams go. And they play like a group stage, like there's seven or eight groups, four teams each. They play against each other, the first and second one go, and then it's knockout.
00:02:40
Speaker
And these games happen on Wednesdays and Thursdays sometimes. So is that every week that same format is every week for you guys? Every two weeks for a little bit. And then there's a break. And then I think it's every other week. And then there's less and less because there's less and less teams to get eliminated. It is insane because when it gets the knockout stage, that's it. Two games went away.
00:03:07
Speaker
went home and your team is gone. And then you have to wait for a year and maybe your team doesn't qualify like it is really important. People really get sad or happy because of that.
American Football Schedule Insights
00:03:22
Speaker
Yeah, our our thing is just like every week. It's there's a Thursday night game, which is one team. Well, it's two teams that play each other. So that's our Thursday night like prime time game. And then Friday and Saturday are typically college ball. So that's like college football teams. And then Sunday is NFL from one p.m.
00:03:43
Speaker
all the way until 11 at night. So all the teams play like there. And then Monday night is our one game prime time game. And then it all just starts over again Thursday and then so forth.
Balancing Domestic and European Matches
00:03:59
Speaker
I mean, here it's different because imagine your team plays Thursday.
00:04:05
Speaker
They will get to play Monday, so that they can have some days to rest. No, we don't. Or not. I mean, I don't know how that's managed, but usually that's... Like imagine a team has a big game. Like imagine play against Barcelona or, I don't know, UC Milan or Real Madrid or Liverpool. Midweek, so big game, they will do everything they can to win.
00:04:32
Speaker
or not be embarrassed. And then in the weekend, they usually lose because they're knackered, too tired. It happens a lot, even with big team. And you can bet on this, actually. It is a pattern, for sure. When there's Champions League games, the next local game, there's usually the number of surprises there must be much higher than when there's no Champions League.
Europa League and Financial Incentives
00:05:02
Speaker
Oh, so there's Champions League, and then there's Europa League, so the champions go to Champions League, but like third, fourth, maybe fifth place in some countries goes to the Europa League, and also the third place from Champions League group stage goes to the Europa League, gets kicked out of champions,
00:05:31
Speaker
goes to Europa League and Europa League games or Champions League games each game is millions in revenue that you make each point you make so if you win the game it's three points if your tie is one point if you lose a zero and each point is worth many a lot of money and if you go over group stage to knockout it's tons of money each knockout stage tons of money they call it the
00:06:01
Speaker
Sounds like F1 racing. You get points for being in the lead, essentially. Yeah. It's all like that here, I guess. And you're in like, uh, what is it called, uh, structures or structure?
Michael Schumacher's Legacy and Health
00:06:13
Speaker
What's the, like, uh, you have the, um, Mercedes and the Ferrari, they all have their own, like.
00:06:20
Speaker
They have like, I don't know what it's called. It's broken up into organizations and those organizations can also have sub points as well, right? And then there's like racers who get points. So in Formula One, each team has two drivers and scoring the points, like the first place gets 25 points, second place gets 20 or something. And then third place it's 18.
00:06:47
Speaker
And then, I don't know, 16 and then 15, 14. So there's a big gap. Like first, the second place, I think there's a big gap. But then the gap, you get points until 10 and then.
00:07:02
Speaker
Uh, the, so that's the driver and then the teams also get points. Yeah. Yeah. There you go. The team. And so there's a driver championship and a constructor championship. Constructor. That's what I was looking for. So Mercedes, I think they were second place Red Bull was first. I watched the, um,
00:07:24
Speaker
No, I watched, I think it was like a documentary on the guy who was paralyzed from ski accident or something now. Michael Schumacher. Or was it a coma? Yeah, Michael Schumacher. I watched the documentary. It was just crazy. Like how much he just... You see the new dry? At the time I didn't understand how great he probably was.
00:07:52
Speaker
So you see new drivers coming and they are dead last. They now have this thing where in some races, each race has free practice one, two free practice three, then qualifying and then race. And in some races, teams have to have a rookie.
00:08:21
Speaker
in the car. And they did that in Abu Dhabi and I think in Las Vegas as well. They are, they always like are dead lost. Which is strange, right? Like, well, it's not strange. I mean, they don't have experience. Michael Schumacher, the guy, the guy you saw the documentary about. First time he drove, he cycled the truck.
00:08:47
Speaker
cycle the track and he was able to beat his teammate first time he drove. But he got like second, right? Or third or something, uh, his first race, which was like, that's incredible. Yeah. Yeah. Which was super surprising when like, and then he just started dominating thereafter. That's dude. Well, yeah, it was crazy watching that documentary. I don't know if it's true, but I heard they would even test the blood.
00:09:15
Speaker
They would do blood tests to see sugar levels and all of that before races. So it was all super perfect. Oh, to see if he was on any extra enhancements or anything? No, no. Like his team to see if he was in perfect shape for the race. Probably just a myth. I don't know if that's true. Not control, like substance control. No, just optimizing performance, checking he was like,
00:09:44
Speaker
Uh, top form, uh, before the race. So bad for that dude's like, yeah. He had some crazy, he left F1, he went bike racing and he broke his neck bike racing. And like he was skiing and that's how I know he survived that one, but he, he broke a few vert, uh, neck vert, I don't know. So he had a serious accident bike racing and like,
00:10:13
Speaker
He was always chasing speed, it seemed, and then he had a ski accident. He was super dedicated to... Trying to help someone, I heard. I don't know if that's true. I don't know. They won't say anything about his condition. Nobody's actually know anything about what he's like right now, what condition he's in. 10 minutes in. What do you guys think? Stop. See what it looks like. Yeah.
