Sports Tea 🫖Esp 2: The 4 Horseman, 4 Fired Coaches

The Spaces is a rowdy, rapid-fire “Sports Tea” session centered on NFL Black Monday, branded by the host as “The Four Horsemen” for a slate of coaching exits. The host and participants (Wells, Amsterdam, Peazy) riff on alleged firings involving Raheem Morris, Kevin Stefanski, Pete Carroll, and Jonathan Gannon, then spin into speculation about Atlanta’s next coach (names floated include Brian Daboll, Mike Vrabel, and Brian Kelly). A heated wide-receiver debate dominates: the host insists Jackson Smith-Njigba was this season’s top WR on fewer receptions, with Puka Nacua close; others push back with injuries, targets, and efficiency context. Quarterbacks spark more controversy: Joe Burrow is dismissed, Joe Flacco praised, and Sam Darnold is oddly preferred over Burrow. NBA talk follows—Wells predicts titles for Miami Heat and Rockets, with a claim that adding Kevin Durant would solve Houston’s shot-creation gap; Draymond Green’s ejections, a Jokic-vs-Shaq skill vs dominance debate, and Wembanyama’s future trajectory all surface. The Spaces also touches betting lines and cash-app payouts, plus house announcements: “Welcome to the Doghouse,” Pop-Up Picks with 2× NBA champ Josh Powell, Lady Locks with Captain Will, Tara’s upcoming guest, and a rundown of Patreon collections.

Central theme: “The Four Horsemen” (Black Monday coach firings)

  • Host frames the episode around NFL “Black Monday,” asserting four head coaches were fired:
    • Atlanta Falcons — Raheem Morris: Host claims he was fired immediately post-game, characterizing Falcons as “losers” and urging fans to be ashamed. Tone is emphatic and disparaging.
    • Seattle Seahawks — Pete Carroll: Discussed as “fired”/retiring; host calls him “old” and says he should never have had a job, while another voice notes Carroll will be honored by Seattle and references the Super Bowl pass at the goal line instead of handing off to Marshawn Lynch. Host’s stance is celebratory about Carroll’s exit.
    • Cleveland Browns — Kevin Stefanski: Called “ass is grass”; host claims they predicted his firing and criticizes him for quarterback decisions and “development,” tying in college names (Shedeur Sanders, Dylan Gabriel) in a muddled way. Host says this is the firing he’s most happy about.
    • Arizona Cardinals — Jonathan Gannon: Host asserts he was fired and disparages the Cardinals’ draft decisions (specifically a WR from Ohio State), arguing the coach should have been let go immediately.
  • Replacement/candidate speculation (host’s assertions):
    • Brian Daboll (Giants) floated for Falcons.
    • Mike Vrabel (Titans, referenced as “drable/vrable”) mentioned amidst firings chatter.
    • Brian Kelly named on the “docket.”
    • Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders to Browns: Speculative scenario; debated as unlikely mid-season, with consideration that Shedeur Sanders might need another year. Health and personal factors are raised in colorful, non-technical terms.
  • Note: Participants often mix college/NFL contexts and present unverified firings; disagreements surface in-thread but no formal verification occurs.

NFC vs AFC, team posture, and 49ers physicality

  • Host asserts NFC teams will let AFC contenders “kill themselves” and then face a “defensive juggernaut,” citing the San Francisco 49ers’ physical toll on opponents.
  • Short back-and-forth on records and strength of schedule, with one participant claiming a 14–3 record and a bye, and insisting another team’s SOS was weaker.

Falcons focus and fan sentiment

  • Host repeatedly derides the Falcons and their fans; calls for a “better coach” and hopes of “going back to the Super Bowl.”
  • A tangent breaks into NBA (Trae Young trade chatter) while still in Falcons context, reflecting the fluid, cross-sport nature of the space.

Wide receiver debate: JSN vs Puka vs Pickens vs Chase vs Amon-Ra (and DK)

  • Claim: Host argues Jackson Smith-Njigba (JSN) is the best WR “this year,” citing “1793 yards” on fewer receptions and targets. He ranks top receivers as JSN, Puka Nacua, George Pickens, Jamar Chase, Amon-Ra St. Brown.
  • Counterpoints:
    • Wells and others argue Puka Nacua is superior or at least very close, noting Puka “missed 3–4 games” yet had “1715 yards on 129 receptions,” implying higher efficiency and hypothetical 2,000-yard potential if healthy.
    • Dispute over whether fewer receptions with more yards equals “better,” and whether injuries/availability metrics change the calculus.
    • Cooper Kupp’s Triple Crown year invoked: host says triple crown made Kupp the best that season; pushes the principle that on-field performance metrics define “best.”
    • DK Metcalf vs JSN: Host insists JSN is “20 times better” across on-field ability and attitude; others say DK remains superior or at least comparable.
    • Justin Jefferson acknowledged as “one of the ones,” but dismissed by the host for being at home in the playoffs.
    • Drops discussion: Jamar Chase critiqued for “too many drops,” undermining “strongest hands” narratives.
  • No consensus; the segment is heated, stat-heavy (though numbers are inconsistent and contested), and highly subjective.

Quarterback and development debate

  • Host brands a coach as the “worst head coach in history” at developing QBs, listing Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Bailey Zappe, Tyler Huntley, Dylan Gabriel, and Shedeur Sanders to argue poor development/usage. The list mixes NFL and college contexts.
  • Joe Burrow vs Sam Darnold:
    • Host provocatively says he’d take Sam Darnold over Joe Burrow; frames Darnold as a “regular season winner.”
    • Others counter that a healthy Joe Burrow is top-tier; host retorts that “mental health” makes Burrow “ass,” while others argue Cincinnati’s offense changes dramatically with Burrow under center.
    • Joe Flacco is praised by one voice as playing well in a plug-and-play scenario.

Game notes: Vikings, Texans, Ravens

  • Vikings: Anecdote about winning with a backup QB who threw ~60 yards; defense credited for the victory.
  • Ravens: Emphasis on a rare missed 44-yard game-winning field goal; shout-out to “No. 2 Wiggins” (Chad’s son) on the Ravens’ defense.

Betting talk and settlements

  • Dolphins bet: Host references a lopsided outcome (“38–10”), saying it was a “stupid bag.” Points discussion ranges from 7 to 25, with an implied line around 17 and Ty Shan mentioned in passing.
  • Wells is highlighted for paying out promptly via Cash App; participants tease Peazy for nervousness placing bets.

Miles Garrett record vs Michael Strahan

  • Host celebrates Miles Garrett as a new “sack king.”
  • Strong criticism of Michael Strahan for publicly downplaying modern sack totals due to the 17-game era; Host also references Brett Favre’s reputed “lay down” for Strahan’s record, and disparages Strahan’s TV persona, calling it performative.

Grooming/hairline and barbershop segment

  • Amsterdam details shaving methods (Andis T-liner) and micro-cuts from repeated passes with a razor; describes sensation like multiple paper cuts, not scarring.
  • Spirited jokes about hairlines, Beijing/hair fibers transferring to jerseys, and encouragements to “go bald”; multiple participants trade barbs about choosing baldness vs necessity.

NBA segment: Rockets, Nuggets/Jokic vs Shaq, Wembanyama, Draymond, college prospects

  • Wells’ multi-sport “triple threat” prediction: Miami (NBA), Patriots (NFL), Rockets (NBA) all to win, plus Duke (NCAA) if “Cam Boozer” keeps ascending.
  • Rockets case:
    • Host (and/or Wells) argues last year’s failure came from lack of shot creation (Şengün couldn’t carry perimeter scoring alone).
    • Hypothetical plug-in of Kevin Durant makes the Rockets “one of the most complete teams.”
  • Mavericks: Expected to be “a problem down the stretch.”
  • Jokic vs Shaq:
    • Consensus: Shaq unmatched in pure dominance.
    • Jokic lauded as the most skillful center (passing, boards, playmaking), with defense as his main weakness; if Jokic wins two more rings, some argue he may be considered the best ever at the position in certain frames.
  • Wembanyama: Predicted to be a major problem in about three years, contingent on playing more inside-out and developing shot selection.
  • Draymond Green: Noted for recent ejections (seven games cited); fatigue and frustration mentioned.
