The Commanders are 4-10, they’re officially eliminated from the playoffs, and the Ron Rivera era is now all but officially over on Jan. 8 – and finally, now, Eric Bickel has reached his boiling point with his team.
But not his football team?
Apparently, because in a segment where EB and JP, running a two-man show this week, were discussing the Commanders’ future, Drab and Valdez – Seahawks and a Ravens fan, respectively – kept needling EB to the point where he exploded and called Drab a ‘mediocre producer,’ which led to some commercial break fireworks.
“Drab got in his feelings that I called him a mediocre producer, he started crying!” EB said. “Obviously, I'm frustrated. You guys push me, and I know these guys better than they know themselves. They want to get me fired up, so they're gonna push my buttons and get me fired up and then it's just, it's hard.”
Imagine, EB posited, if the Junkies were on air in Baltimore and the Ravens were a bad team for years, and the guys just kept “shoving it up Valdez’s nose how Lamar sucks.”
That’s pretty much what he says the guys are doing, and since this ain’t Bit Season, “it would wear on you, and sometimes you freak out – but I think that everybody knows I'm just lashing out.”
Maybe, but it still hurt Drab when EB called him “the worst quarterback evaluator you've ever seen in history” and Eric stood by it.
Take a listen to all of the aftermath above!
