0:00.0	Hello fearless army Jason Whitlock here your fearless leader filling in for Uncle Jimmy
0:14.8	Hope your holiday is going great. We have a review of this week's fire starters and on Monday
0:24.0	I started out talking about Tom Brady and Aaron Rogers and what it means that two of the 10
0:31.5	oldest players in the NFL are the leading candidates to be the MVP. Take a listen.
0:38.8	In 1963 at the age of 37, New York Giants quarterback Yeal Burton Abraham Tittle Jr. was named
0:50.8	the most valuable player of the National Football League. In the league's then 43 year history,
0:57.4	YA Tittle was the oldest player to win the award. Tittle held that distinction for the next 50
1:05.2	years until Peyton Manning older by seven months won the award in 2013. Four years later, 40-year-old

2:03.1	Football rules makers in pursuit of player safety and points have made the game far too easy.
2:09.2	I do not say that to denigrate Brady or Rogers. As a fan, I love watching them play. I respect
2:15.4	their approach to the game. I marvel at their sustained discipline and passion.
2:21.4	Football is a more enjoyable product with Brady and Rogers than without them.
2:27.4	My problem is their prolonged domination of the league indicates a reduction in the stakes
2:34.0	and or consequences of playing the game. When you reduce the risk, you reduce the reward.
2:41.3	You reduce the level of satisfaction among fans. Despite all of its corruption, the sport of
2:48.4	boxing won't die because of the elevated consequences of the sport. At any moment, someone could
