1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000 From the deep inside the bowels of the city market in Kansas City, Missouri downtown property 2 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:14,000 to the banks of the beautiful crystal blue waters of the Missouri River 3 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:25,000 it is the original two, Topher and Mark, given the 2024 football predictions for the season. 4 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,000 You thought they were done, didn't you? 5 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:35,000 They make that much of a difference. It's a building process. 6 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,000 Next year they have a couple of draft picks, maybe make an acquisition. 7 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,000 Yeah, a key free agent. 8 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:47,000 Yeah, I can see them doing that because they have the stepping stones to build now, or supposedly they do. 9 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:53,000 And you know, as long as they're entertaining to watch, they're going to keep their fan base, even though it is rebuilding. 10 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,000 Yeah, they will. They have what, 30 million people to pick from? 11 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,000 Yeah, no kidding. 12 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,000 I mean, if the Mets have a fan base, they can. 13 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000 Yeah, that's true. 14 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:14,000 So, yeah, that's, and the Giants, Daniel Jones is a key. 15 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,000 Daniel Jones is a good quarterback, but not a great quarterback. 16 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:23,000 Daniel Jones is capable of winning nine games in a season, but will he? 17 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:28,000 His arm's decent. His quarterback mind I don't put in the top 20. 18 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:34,000 His drive I'm not sure about. He's highly inconsistent. 19 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:40,000 But if Daniel Jones can hit fire like they think he can, you know, signing him that big of a contract, 20 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:46,000 and they see something I don't, then they could do a little bit better. They could do a 10 and 7. 21 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:52,000 But I say 6 and 11, probably. 22 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:58,000 Now, wouldn't you think he would have to be, the quarterback would have to have some, like, spontaneity, 23 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,000 and like, be able to be creative in the moment? 24 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,000 That's one of the reasons I'm not banking on this, because he doesn't have that. He doesn't have that ump. 25 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,000 He doesn't have that swagger. 26 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:12,000 Yeah, he needs kind of everything laid out in a plan, and this is the plan, and I'll just stick to this, 27 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,000 and I don't have to think too hard. That's kind of how I get impression of him. 28 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:20,000 I got like this. He doesn't walk in a room like my home's and go, we're going to beat these guys. 29 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,000 Yeah. 30 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:27,000 Yeah, we are. He's a guy that comes in the room and they're like, oh, there's Daniel. 31 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,000 Just a guy. 32 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,000 Yeah, just a guy. 33 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,000 So, I keep expecting someone to come over and talk. They're looking at us enough. 34 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,000 Yeah. 35 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,000 Maybe they don't know they can join in. 36 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,000 Yeah, push the chairs out and say sit down. 37 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,000 Oh, yeah, yeah. 38 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,000 That looks more inviting. 39 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,000 Yeah, more inviting. 40 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:53,000 Anyhow, okay, so I'm going to go with the NFC North. 41 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,000 All right. 42 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,000 Okay. 43 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,000 I'm on that page. 44 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:06,000 All righty. I'm picking the Lions at first place in NFC North, but Green Bay, if conditions are right, 45 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:16,000 and Goff is the hide and not the Dr. Jekyll. He has that capability. 46 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,000 That's true. I didn't remember that, but you're right. 47 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:25,000 Jared Goff looks like an all-pro and the worst quarterback ever, all in one breath. 48 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,000 Yeah, sometimes on the same game. 49 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,000 Yeah, sometimes on the same game. 50 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:38,000 He is the epitome of inconsistent, but the problem is when he's on, 51 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:45,000 he's on just like any really good quarterback, top-notch playoff, maybe even Super Bowl quarterback. 52 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,000 That's what they had last year, but that's what they had with the Rams, too. 53 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:57,000 They went to the Super Bowl, okay, but the problem is I've also seen him be that 4-11 guy. 54 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,000 Yeah, yeah. 55 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,000 He's going to have to have consistency. 56 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,000 He's going to have to prove that he is the upper-escalon of quarterbacks. 57 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,000 If not, I don't care how much defense they have. 58 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,000 He's going to throw four interceptions and lose the game. 59 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,000 Yeah, yeah. There are teams that win the Super Bowl, 60 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,000 and you can point to their quarterback and say, he's the big reason. 61 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:25,000 And then with Jared Goff, it's going to be, if they win, it's going to be despite him. 62 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:31,000 Or not necessarily because of him, a little more like, well, he didn't come in and screw things up, so we won. 63 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:37,000 Yeah, he can't scramble to get out of trouble, so if you shut him off with a good defense, he's pretty much worthless. 64 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,000 Yeah, he seems to have pretty good rapport with Amon St. Ross. 65 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,000 Yeah, he does. 66 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,000 Or Amon Ross St. Brown, sorry. 67 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:52,000 Ross St. Brown, yeah. Yeah, he's getting the Jets guy mixed. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, yeah. I agree. 68 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,000 Anyhow, go ahead with your... 69 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,000 Yeah, my first place is also the Lions. 70 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,000 Last year, they showed how tough they were. 71 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:07,000 They won a really tough season and division, and they won a playoff game. 72 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:12,000 I think they're going to build this year and be even more ready to go. 73 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,000 Like you, I'm a little concerned about Jared Goff. 74 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,000 For the same reason? 75 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:24,000 Yeah, yeah, it's just he's not as bad as others, but there are quarterbacks where you kind of wonder who's going to show up this week. 76 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,000 And that can really play on a teammate's minds. 77 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,000 He seems to be a little bit more consistent, and I'm speaking about last year only. 78 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,000 So I don't know this year, he could come in there and just be like have the Jitters or something. 79 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:44,000 Maybe it's the coaching staff has figured out, you know, here's how we handle this guy, so we put him in positions so where he doesn't flail around like that. 80 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,000 I think some of it's that. 81 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,000 So that would be, I've got him finishing 13 and 4. 82 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,000 Wow, okay. 83 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,000 And I think they're going to be really strong. 84 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:59,000 I think they're going to make their home stadium a really tough place for people to come in and win. 85 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,000 Oh, I agree. I agree. 86 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,000 Yeah. 87 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:09,000 And the funny thing is, is this year, the 49ers could be going there. 88 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,000 Yeah. 89 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:17,000 So, yeah, did they go there? Did they go there last year? 90 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,000 No, 49ers had the home. 91 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,000 That's what I thought. Yeah. Okay. 92 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,000 If they go to Detroit, it could be a completely different story. 93 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,000 Okay, go ahead. 94 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,000 No, that was that was all I had about the Lions because they were my number one pick as well. 95 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,000 Okay. Well, here's some key stuff right here. 96 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,000 Okay. 97 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,000 Golf is inconsistent. 98 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,000 Green Bay could grab the North Crown. 99 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,000 And here's why. 100 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,000 Kevin Zetler, I guess is his name, Zetler. 101 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,000 I could never say it right. 102 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:58,000 Kevin Zetler is a solid acquisition of after losing John Jackson defensively, defensive tackle. 103 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,000 DJ Reader from the Bengals. 104 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:09,000 So Guard Graham Blasso has didn't go free agency like they thought. 105 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,000 Oh, okay. Yeah. 106 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:15,000 This will be for nothing if. Oh, I'm still reading. You know what? Forget it. 107 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:21,000 Forget I said that because this is a different page here. 108 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,000 Okay. Hang on here. 109 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:33,000 Dan Campbell. Let's see. What did I do with my other page? 110 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,000 Dan Campbell is going to be a really big, big part of keeping the Lions going. 111 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,000 He's he's like just the just the right coach for this team right now. 112 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,000 Yeah. 113 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,000 Hang on here. I've got to get to my page here. 114 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,000 Hopefully I have it backed up. Anyhow, go ahead. 115 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:57,000 Okay. So for my number two, I picked the Bears. 116 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:03,000 Number 18, Caleb Williams is going to be pretty amazing. 117 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:09,000 I think so, too. 118 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:14,000 We almost lost battery power. Oh. 119 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,000 It should be charging now. Okay. 120 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,000 I think Caleb Williams is going to have an amazing season. 121 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:28,000 The offense and the defense will be okay enough to let the Bears finish nine and eight, 10 and seven. 122 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:36,000 They're going to be kind of a thorn in the Lions side, but Lions are going to win out. 123 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,000 But I got the Bears in number two, pretty solid number two. 124 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:45,000 That's it. That's an interesting choice. Okay. I have the Packers. 125 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,000 Oh, cool. That's my number two. 126 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:58,000 And not so much because Jordan Love, but because they have a they have a really solid team. 127 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:05,000 I think Matt LaFleur is a really good head coach. Yeah. 128 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:09,000 The Bears, I think, are getting on target, but I don't think they're there yet. Yeah. 129 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:17,000 So anyhow, I put down the Packers ahead of the Bears and I'm putting them at 10 and seven. 130 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,000 And a playoff contender. 131 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,000 All right, go ahead. 132 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:29,000 So, okay, my third place is the Packers. Ironically, also 10 and seven. 133 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:34,000 But oh, wow, the same record, but same record as the Bears. 134 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:39,000 But in third place, because they're not going to have any answer for the Bears or the Lions. 135 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,000 They're going to get swept by them, I think. 136 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:48,000 And like the Packers of recent times, they're going to choke when it counts. 137 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:56,000 So they'll finish in third place in the division, might get a wild card game, but that's going to be it for them. 138 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,000 We're not that far off. No, not really. 139 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:02,000 We just have a flip flop. We have the records the same. 140 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,000 Yeah. 141 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:09,000 I picked the Bears eight and nine or nine and eight. 142 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,000 Depends on Caleb Williams, how fast he can pick up on everything. 143 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,000 Yeah. 144 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:18,000 I think Caleb Williams has the ability with his arm to win games. 145 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,000 Yeah. 146 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,000 And I think he will. 147 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:26,000 I think that this is no longer the graveyard for the NFL for quarterbacks. 148 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:32,000 Yeah. I think enough time and change has happened that they can kind of get out from under that legacy. 149 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:37,000 Yeah. Yeah. I think that they were in their lesson with Trubitsky and then Fields. 150 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,000 In my opinion, they ruined Fields. Justin Fields had a lot of talent. 151 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,000 Yeah. 152 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,000 They didn't know how to use him. And now he doesn't have any confidence. 153 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,000 Let's face it, Mike Tomlin can't straighten you out here, Doug. 154 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,000 Pretty much. Yeah. Yeah. 155 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:56,000 Yeah. So that's me with the Bears right there. So. 156 00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:03,000 All right. My fourth place team, I've got the Vikings. 157 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,000 And we both agree with that. 158 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:13,000 I don't know. I'm going to change my end of the season prediction on them to six and 10. 159 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,000 I had them at about nine and eight, eight and nine. 160 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:22,000 But I think even though they got rid of Mr. Boring, Kirk Cousins. 161 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,000 Yeah. 162 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,000 I think their head coach is still going to lead them into a pretty mediocre season. 163 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:33,000 Justin Jefferson's about their main weapon on offense. 164 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,000 And once you take care of him, they're done. 165 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,000 They're done. And that's what they've been doing. 166 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,000 Yeah. Where did Kirk Cousins go? I keep forgetting. 167 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,000 Atlanta. 168 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,000 Atlanta. That's right. Yeah. Yeah. 169 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,000 OK. Well, I can. Oh, yeah. 170 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,000 OK. I've got that figured in when you do the industry. 171 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,000 I do, too. 172 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,000 And I suddenly realized where I left my page at that I was looking for. 173 00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:01,000 I can't read it now because it's done, but I have it in the back and I couldn't find it. 174 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,000 And I started reading the Detroit stats. I'm like, wait a minute. 175 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,000 Wait a minute. Wait a minute. 176 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:12,000 The sad thing is I went three deep before I realized I was talking about another team. 177 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,000 What was in that muffin you ate? I know. 178 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,000 All right. Well, why don't you lead us into the innocent South? 179 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,000 That muffin didn't cost enough. 180 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,000 Oh, yeah, yeah. Hey, you want to say anything about City Market Coffee? 181 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,000 We always raved about it. It's the best coffee house in Kansas City. 182 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,000 Oh, that's sweet. You know that your food is very underrated. 183 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,000 I think that it's important to know that we're the oldest roaster. 184 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,000 We just turned 28. Really? Yeah. Like a week and a half ago. 185 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,000 Yeah. You got to smell the place when they roast the coffee. 186 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:46,000 Oh, yeah. Oh, it's such a great smell. That's cool. 187 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,000 Anyhow, if you want a great cup of coffee and a neat place to drink it, 188 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,000 come down to City Market. We're right in the corner of the main square. 189 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:57,000 Yep. So that's where we broadcast from whenever it's Tofa night. 190 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:01,000 Yep. We got the satellite truck outside. Yeah, yeah. 191 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,000 People are pissed, though. They have to get around it. Yeah. 192 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:10,000 We already we blurbed out all the honking and cussing at us. 193 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:14,000 We hired a local motorcycle gang to guard it. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. 194 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:19,000 Were they Hells Angels or Hells Devils or something? 195 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:23,000 Hells Rejects. Hells Rejects. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 196 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,000 Good, nice, nice, good people. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 197 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,000 Holson? Yeah. All right. 198 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,000 NFC South. The Falcons. 199 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:37,000 Just paid a mint to obtain veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins. 200 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:43,000 But the wild card is Baker Mayfield. Yeah. 201 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:48,000 Baker Mayfield has shown signs of his old form in 2019 202 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:54,000 when he almost drove the Browns past the Chiefs in the divisional round of the playoffs. 203 00:13:54,000 --> 00:14:01,000 I know Atlanta has obtained some helpful additions, but Tampa is their main threat. 204 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,000 Yeah. And Tampa could win this. 205 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:12,000 But Baker Mayfield starts being his old self, 2019 self, and gets he got a little bit of consistency. 206 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:19,000 He got a little bit of continuity. And I think if he still gets a taste of that and he still keeps progressing. 207 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:25,000 And I also like their their head coach. 208 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:37,000 Voles, Todd Voles. Yeah. I believe in him. And I think even though he's a defensive guy, I think that he has good enough people around him to 209 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:42,000 nurture Baker Mayfield back to health. Yeah. Keep him in his comfort zone. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 210 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,000 Cousins is older and it's coming off a torn Achilles. 211 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:51,000 Wide receiver Darnell Mooney was a solid pickup. 212 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:59,000 Tight end Charles Weirner was also a key game. The Falcons also obtained more potential offensive parts. 213 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:04,000 I'm just not convinced that Cousins is going to be effective after the injury, or at least not at first. 214 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,000 I'm leaning towards Tampa taking the division currently. 215 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:18,000 But if Cousins gets off to a hot start, any residual effects of anything else, you know, none, none retaining, he'll be fine. 216 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:24,000 Mike Evans is resigned with Tampa and this could be the key ingredient for Mayfield's success. 217 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:33,000 Old offensive linebacker Rudy Gregory assigned a one year deal with incentives. This could bolster their defense. 218 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,000 Former jet corner. 219 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,000 Bryce Hall will also help. Oh, yeah. Yeah. 220 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:45,000 Safety Jordan Whitehead is another pickup. I'm currently leaning towards Tampa went into division. 221 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:53,000 But if they, but if you know, they don't get to the dance and they pull off at least one upset, one really big upset. Yeah. 222 00:15:53,000 --> 00:16:01,000 So, OK, I had Falcons in third place with six and eleven. Oh, Tampa. I had ten and seven. 223 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:05,000 OK, Tampa's ten and seven. OK. 224 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,000 My my thing for the Falcons. 225 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:17,000 Kurt Cousins isn't the answer and they're still trying to find a solid replacement for Matt Ryan. 226 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:21,000 And they haven't found anyone yet. And I don't think Kurt Cousins is it. 227 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:30,000 I don't think he's the dynamic, powerful kind of field presence unless he's really, really hiding it. 228 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:35,000 I just don't really think he's that much of a charismatic leader. 229 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:44,000 I agree. And I think this is going to be kind of a placeholder season for the Falcons and low end six and eleven. 230 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,000 OK. All right. Who's going to be your first? 231 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:53,000 My my this is going to be my wild pick. OK. 232 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:59,000 Of the thing. I've got the Saints going 12 and five and winning the division with Derek Carr. 233 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,000 Yeah. Derek Carr is going to remain the quarterback. Yep. 234 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:07,000 And he's going to take the 12 and five. That's very possible because he is a good quarterback. 235 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:14,000 He had so many head coaches and offensive coordinators under his belt. 236 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,000 No wonder he couldn't get anything started. So I see what you're saying. Go ahead. 237 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:23,000 Yeah. Yeah. I think I think they're going to win the division and win it handily. 238 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:30,000 And I think that's going to springboard him into the playoffs where they're going to fall apart. 239 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:34,000 I think they're going to get him into the playoffs. OK. And then they're going to get their ass kicked. 240 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:40,000 Yeah. You know how every every season there's one team that just does way better than everyone thought in the regular season. 241 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:44,000 And then in the playoffs they flame out. I think that's going to be the Saints this year. 242 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,000 I think they're going to really surprise people how many games they win. 243 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:54,000 And then in the playoffs they're going to show that they're just not ready. 244 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,000 So that was my number one. OK. 245 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:07,000 My number two is the Saints. I have them at nine and eight. Yeah. I can definitely see that. 246 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:14,000 Yeah. And the reason is is Derek Carr is older, but he is really established. 247 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:22,000 If he gets into a rhythm, they could win one or two more games. I'm not convinced on him. 248 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:36,000 Yeah. But I think that they I think they will because I think the Falcons are going to finish third because of all the reasons we talked about Kirk Cousins coming off an ACL and older and also not being Mr. Excitement. 249 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:47,000 Yeah. So I think the Saints are going to be respectable and they could make the playoffs because then I've seen that's just the way that they are right now. 250 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:54,000 They're really kind of a mediocre league. They are. Except for the 49ers and possibly the Eagles, but probably not. 251 00:18:54,000 --> 00:19:01,000 You know where they have see has like five teams that could do it. They have to. Yeah. 252 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:10,000 Yeah. You can't even really bank on the Lions yet because last year was kind of a surprise. Yeah, it was. And you don't know. You don't know what golf you're getting. Yeah. 253 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,000 All right. So you had Bucks and then Falcons and then Saints. 254 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:31,000 No, I had Bucks, Saints and then the Falcons. Bucks, Saints, Falcons. Yeah. Okay. I was talking about the Falcons because because of how how I think Tampa's going to win because the Falcons are going to flame out because of Cousins. 255 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:37,000 Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. No, I think the Saints are two and the Falcons are three. But go ahead. Oh, okay. 256 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:53,000 So since you've already been your your books, I have the books finishing second with 11 and six. You have a better record than mine, but finishing second. Yeah, because I've got the Saints blowing up. 257 00:19:53,000 --> 00:20:08,000 Bucks have a lot of really good pieces. Like we were saying earlier, keep Baker Mayfield in his comfort zone and don't ask a whole lot of him and he's going to win a lot of games. That's a good key that I didn't get to. Don't ask too much from him. 258 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:20,000 Yeah. System quarterback. He's fine. Yeah. Yeah. And build the system that he's comfortable in and can take advantage of and that works in your division. Yeah. 259 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:33,000 And then it works in your division and then leave him alone and let him do it. He's not the type type of guy that can get too rattled and still do it. Yeah, I think he was at first with Cleveland. Yeah, but I think he doesn't have that anymore because of a lot of reasons. 260 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:48,000 Yeah, you get knocked around the league a little bit and you're like, All right, none of this is too scary anymore. Yeah, he's just getting his confidence back. Yeah, he's shaky. So they're going to have to do everything just right. And I agree with you. It could be a really good season for him. 261 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:58,000 Yeah. I mean, right now the high the highlight of Baker Mayfield's career has to be that he did a commercial with Alice Cooper. Yes. 262 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:03,000 It's not that Matt Moore beat him with a fourth down throw. No. 263 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:17,000 And actually that had nothing to do with him. He did what he was supposed to do. The problem is the Chiefs did it better. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And he is responsible for the best college game ever. 264 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:40,000 Mo Holmes versus make Mayfield. Yeah, Texas Tech against Do you go to Oklahoma State or Oklahoma? I can't remember. I can't remember. Okay, maybe Oklahoma State. Yeah. And I was like, what? 64 to 62. Oh, yeah. Yeah, something like that. So that could not quit scoring. Yeah. Where was the defense? 265 00:21:40,000 --> 00:22:00,000 Not on the field. Yeah. And so let's see. I think it leaves us for the last place in the NFC South. I think we have the same team. I've got nothing to say about the Panthers. They are the Panthers. They're the Panthers. Yeah. 266 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:20,000 What I came up with, two and 15 record. Number one pick in the draft. Yeah. They're being run as a business, not a football team. I agree. Don't they remind you of the Kansas City Chiefs from about 75 till about 86? Yeah. Yeah. 267 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:46,000 It's, it's, it's there. They're there to make money. And that's all they care about. There's no effort from the owner. There's no home field advantage. They got caught numerous times last season lying about their home field attendance. Oh, yeah. Yeah. They print out. Yeah. 70,000 and change. And they show the stadium. There'd be maybe 12,000 people in there. Maybe. 268 00:22:46,000 --> 00:23:06,000 It would have been better if they would have played, if they would have painted the seats their color. Yeah. But if not, it just shows up. Yeah. And they, they dubbed in crowd noise. Yeah. All their home games because there was nobody there to cheer. That's not against the rules. 269 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:35,000 Misrepresenting your home attendance is against the rules. Yeah. But dubbing in crowd noise because you got nobody there. That's not against the rules. But they're doing that over and over and over last season. Oh, they got caught probably four times doing that. Yeah. But the league, like you said, the league doesn't really, they don't really care. Yeah. They're just like, whatever you trying to sell tickets. We get it. Yeah. You're trying to make a fervor that isn't there. And you know, the people who seem to be the most upset about all this are the people. 270 00:23:35,000 --> 00:24:04,000 In the hometown. Yeah. Who think their team is a ridiculous and embarrassing joke. Yeah. They're like, we're not going there. Yeah. So it's going to take something really big and dramatic to turn the Panthers around. Sure. It's like what a couple hours from the ocean. Yeah. Charleston is on the ocean. Yeah. I think a couple hour drive to the ocean is more appealing than watching the Panthers. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So on with you. 271 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:27,000 And you know, I know for decades, the NFL would put up with perpetual losing teams, teams that always were just very drag in the bottom. Hey, welcome over and talk. We're talking football. Talking football. No way. In an NFL NFL season preview. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, the other football. 272 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:52,000 Oh, yeah. What's our take here? What are we discussing gentlemen? Well, we're going through all the leagues and we're picking our first, second, third and fourths. And we're done with all that we just got it done. So now we're just talking football in general. You got anything you want to add? I mean, chiefs going for the three Peets big. Yeah, yeah. Um, I think the Packers are a sneaky one. I think Jacobs might make an impact over there. I'm sure you touched on that. 273 00:24:52,000 --> 00:25:20,000 We did. We did. Um, other than that, man, do you have a surprise team? Uh, Denver Broncos are going to surprise everybody. Wow. That's funny. They were my surprise surprise team would go next. Yep. Exactly. Next to the game manager. That arm is not going to talk to a while. You like that. But he'll take over. He'll make some reads the line. That's what they need. They need continuity and stability. Absolutely. All right. You guys have a good one. Thanks. Thank you. 274 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:39,000 Who's your pick for the Super Bowl teams? Super Bowl teams, Kansas City and you have to go with 49ers again. I'm sorry to do this to everybody, but if everything stays as such and no major injuries, they are head and tails above everybody else from what I can tell. 275 00:25:39,000 --> 00:26:08,000 And that that would be so sweet to get the three Pete on the Niners. Oh yeah. I want to hear. I want to hear Jerry Rice after that one. Yeah. Oh man. You probably get a Billy club and come club Kansas City himself. Really? Yeah. Um, I hate to be that generic, but that's the way I see it. Yeah. Unless there is some injuries. Yeah. You know that at this point we can't take into account any injuries. No, we can't. 276 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:38,000 We just got to go with what's what's happening right now. I got a question. Yeah. Is Brock Purdy going to be as good or nearly as good as he was? I think so. I think they figured out he's got what he does well and you know what he can do and they're keeping him comfortable and happy and they're building the offensive plan somewhat around what he's best at. Yeah. And then also somewhat around what the other players are best at. But I think Brock Purdy as of last season, 277 00:26:38,000 --> 00:27:07,000 they're like, yeah, this is the guy, you know, until the next big great thing comes along. He's not the placeholder. He's our guy. No, I agree. He believes that now and he's comfortable there. So yeah, I think Brock Purdy is going to be. This is the kind of thing they should have done with Garoppolo. Yeah. But during the Super Bowl, they were forced to throw the bomb because they were going to be behind really, really bad if they did. Yeah. But it ended up being, ended up being, 278 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:34,000 and I'm talking about not last, I'm talking about the first Super Bowl between them two. It ended up being their Achilles heel. Yeah. Because Garoppolo simply could not throw the long one. He was highly inaccurate. They had a chance to win. They had a receiver wide open on the 10 yard line. Yeah. Nobody in front of him. Nobody beside him. He would have ran it in and Garoppolo could not make that throw. 279 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:55,000 Garoppolo is like the singer who can hit that high note maybe once on a good night. Yeah. And that's it. And that's it. So yeah, he could throw the bomb and get lucky and complete it. But then his arms used up. Yeah. And then that's it. He can't do it anymore. And that is what let them win the game because the last play was an interception. 280 00:27:55,000 --> 00:28:22,000 Yeah. I mean, yeah, it just got like, okay, we knew you guys weren't going to win. But here, you just go back to locker room. Let me catch this. Go to locker room. We can all rest now. Yeah. It's been decided. There was 1% suspense. Yeah. Now there's none. Yeah. So hey, all you yellow and reds, go home. Yep. Yep. There'll be a lot of crying in the Bay Area tonight. Oh, yeah. 281 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:37,000 Oakland's over and say, yeah, you least you still got a team. Yeah. Yeah. Oakland's man. My Super Bowl teams, Chiefs and Lions. That's a solid pick. 282 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:54,000 That would be a really interesting adversary for the Chiefs because there's not a lot of history. Most recent history was the Lions came in and beat beat our pants off. It was a legitimate beat. Yeah, they beat us in every department. Yes, they did. They gave us a beating. 283 00:28:54,000 --> 00:29:11,000 So that would make it an exciting game. Lions have never been even in the Super Bowl. Let alone win one. Let alone win one. Yeah. So they won some league championships in the 50s before there was a Super Bowl. That Super Bowl didn't start until 67. Yeah. Yeah. 284 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:31,000 Yeah. Yeah. So, man, I do like that pick. And my second one that could pull it off. My question is golf. Yeah. Golf is so Jekyll and Hyde. I can't put my eggs in his basket. Yeah, I'm kind of looking at him like the Ravens were when they won with a nobody quarterback. 285 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:47,000 Do you think that Campbell has him in a system that he's going to contain him enough to not lose the game? I think so. Yeah. Well, they have good enough defense. They have good running game. They could do it. They have good offensive line. Yeah. And like you were saying earlier, the NFC is weaker. Yeah. 286 00:29:47,000 --> 00:30:07,000 And a weaker division or conference means that a mediocre team has a better chance of catching fire one day and knocking off a giant. Yeah. Whereas in the AFC, it's just like an all out slugfest. And everybody's prepared for everything every week because we know it's going to be tough. 287 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:24,000 Think of this story. I don't think it's going to happen, but will Tampa Bay against KC. Oh, that would even be better than the Lions Mayfield Mahomes part two. I know the game between them two wasn't a championship game. Yeah, there's a high scored game ever. Okay. 288 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:44,000 It's part two. And also, we owe Tampa. Yes, we do. I think that'd be a great storyline. It's not going to happen. But that would be it. That would I would rank them in order as far as popularity with viewing public in general that I think people would drove to that 49ers. 289 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:59,000 Number one, yeah, lines number two bucks number three. Yeah, that those those matchups would get the casual or non football fan to watch. Yes, because of all the story. Yeah. 290 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:20,000 I think of some other key factors going on. Like, of course, injuries. Yeah. I look for a big name to go down early, like, like Rogers did last year. And some teams can fall off because of that. Yeah. I mean, it depends on how bad the injury is, and who exactly got the injury. 291 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:35,000 Yeah, yeah. And like last season Rogers was, you know, that was the foundation upon what the jets were built. Yeah. And so it was just, I mean, it's really amazing that the jets did as well as they did. I agree. 292 00:31:35,000 --> 00:32:00,000 They play tough. But they kind of you can see about the 12th game. They started just giving up. Yeah, which, you know, kind of shows me that if Rogers had been there, that would have been an awesome team last year. Yeah. Yeah. And we'll wait to see on this one because Achilles tendon and 40 years old and NFL does not exactly match up very well. Yeah. 293 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:16,000 He does a lot of those alternative medicines and sweat lodges. Yeah, that kind of stuff. So who knows what he's doing to rehab that maybe isn't really helping. Yeah, he may refuse surgery or something. Who knows? I mean, he's that type of guy. 294 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:37,000 You know, if you want to add something on top, yeah, you know, go to the doctor and do what they say. And then if you want to add something on top, yeah, but to disregard what your orthopedic surgeon is saying in favor of healing crystals from a cave in Guatemala. Yeah. 295 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:55,000 And he did something that I thought was impossible. He made me feel bad for Jimmy Kimmel. That is tough. That is tough. That's very tough. When you name somebody is something like that, you better be damn sure they were. Yeah. He's lucky he didn't get his ass. 296 00:32:55,000 --> 00:33:11,000 Yeah, you know, Jimmy Kimmel reminds me of is that TV show How I Met Your Mother. There was that guy who played Ted Mosby. Jimmy Kimmel looks like him, but he got molested when he was a kid. 297 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:22,000 Oh, that's. Isn't that terrible? Yeah, but it's funny as hell. 298 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:36,000 Yeah, but no, when Rogers said that about him, I was like, that's just, you know, that stuff that would make someone pull a gun on. Yeah, that stuff that people would like beat you up over. 299 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:42,000 You know, that's nothing to say unless you know for sure. Yeah. 300 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:57,000 Sometimes people say things you know publicly like that you're like, Joe Rogan podcast he said that. Oh yeah, it was. Yeah, it was. So you had millions of people hearing this about somebody that I guess isn't true. 301 00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:09,000 I mean, I mean, I mean, he sure came after him after that was stuck. So I would say it probably is not. Yeah. 302 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,000 Let's see what else. 303 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:17,000 You got anything more. 304 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:29,000 Not that I can think of right off the bat. I'm with you that there's going to be one really shocking injury that is going to be kind of like the big injury of the season and everybody's going to talk about, you know, lost opportunity. 305 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,000 Oh, I got one. What first coach gets fired. 306 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:48,000 Oh, first coach to get fired is going to be whoever's in Charlotte, whoever's going to be second place would be because you know if the guy in Charlotte is first year they're not going to fire. 307 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:59,000 But who else did I rank really super low. 308 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:04,000 I'm going to say 309 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,000 Cardinals. 310 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:21,000 That's a good pick because he's on his third year and yeah, I think at this point. It's not so expensive if they need to get rid of them. And if Kyler Murray is out of control and screwing up the team, which she very well could be and I kind of expect them to be. 311 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:34,000 Then they're probably going to be because you can't fire Kyler Murray. No, you got it. You're going to fire the coach. No, they may not resign him, but they can't fire him. Yeah, but I'll look for him to resign him for the interim of the next guy coming up. 312 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:35,000 Yeah. 313 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:51,000 I think the last quarterback to actually get fired like that was Johnny Manziel getting fired. Yeah, because he just failed to show up. Yeah, he went to Vegas and partied missed the last flight and said screw it. I'm staying here and partying more. 314 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:58,000 He showed a charter to fly. Yes. Yes. At the very least. 315 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:08,000 Anyway, but yeah since then, teams tend to just sit the quarterback and they were trying to move him, but you just out and out dump them is a pretty big financial. 316 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,000 Because of plenty of good reason. 317 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:20,000 What we're referring to is the Netflix documentary I guess or series about Johnny Manziel the rise and fall of. 318 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:34,000 Yeah, a guy that had a lot of talent, but he couldn't handle it because he pretty much was pushed into college and NFL wasn't he he really that really wasn't his thing really for that much. 319 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:49,000 He enjoyed the high school football. He was really well prepared his father helped him a lot with physical training and discipline and and the attitude in high school was, you know, you're just the same as everyone else we're all, you know, equal parts, etc. 320 00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:55,000 And that worked out great for him. He had all the natural ability, went to college. 321 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,000 And his first season was phenomenal. 322 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:07,000 Yeah, again, just all natural ability because he never studied the playbook he didn't worry about learning the plays or whatever. 323 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:25,000 Second season was mediocre, and he quit trying. He wouldn't go to practice he wouldn't work out he was more interested in all the side hustles that was getting all sorts of money against the rules you know not illegal by any means but against the NCAA rules. 324 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:30,000 One that comes to mind. Yeah, Todd Marinovich. 325 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:39,000 The Oakland Raiders. Yes. Well the Oakland Raiders did did not do him any favors, starting him against the Chiefs. Oh yeah, in the playoff round. 326 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:50,000 We had that defense that was just sick. Oh yeah. Oh my gosh. And they terrorized him and sacked him what seven times. Yeah, it's kind of like what they did to Ryan Leaf. Yeah, and that was in the regular season. 327 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:57,000 Yeah, yeah, pretty much destroyed Ryan Leaf's ability to believe in himself. Yeah, it was just done after that. 328 00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:10,000 So he had a Ryan Leaf had a massive drinking problem at the time, which had a lot to do with it but Marinovich was pressured into the NFL by his father, like Mansell Mike Burnham, a former Raider. 329 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:20,000 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then, Todd got the nickname Todd Marilanovich. Oh yeah, that's right. He started smoking weed in college to deal with the stress. Yeah. 330 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:29,000 Of, you know, all he could do was play football is all he knew, but he didn't like it. He didn't want to do it anymore. Yeah, it wasn't his. He didn't have a choice. Yeah. 331 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:44,000 And then he got into the pros and he earned the nickname Todd Harrowinovich. Yes. And for good reason. For a very good reason. Yes. But that was how he dealt with, you know, my whole life is something I hate. Yeah. 332 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:56,000 And I'm stuck and there's no way out. I mean, there's a pretty good lesson in this. Yeah. Don't do that to your children. Yes. Exactly. 333 00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:10,000 I was just thinking about Jake Plummer the other day. Oh yeah. He was Broncos quarterback who seemed to have it on, you know, pretty good ability and he was on some pretty mediocre teams. Yeah. 334 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:21,000 But he was on the right path. Yeah. But there was one off season where he just decided, you know what, I don't want to play football anymore. And he just up and quit. 335 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:35,000 And he hasn't been anywhere near football since. No. And the last I heard he lives very simply and he lives out, you know, away from civilization. Yeah, in the woods, the deep woods. Is it North Carolina? 336 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:46,000 I think so. Yeah. Because I don't think he wanted to stay in Colorado. No, he didn't. I think he's in North Carolina in the woods. And he was one of those guys that, you know, it was fun in high school. 337 00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:59,000 It was OK and exciting in college. But then when he gets to the pros and it's all just a business. Yeah. And, you know, we know how sketchy and nasty and ugly things can get when people want their profits. Yeah. 338 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:08,000 And he probably looked around and said, man, I don't want anything to do with this. This guy was a chess piece. Yeah. In people's profits. And he didn't like it. Yeah. 339 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:19,000 I think he had a price. It's like, you can't get me to do all these things for the amount of money you're paying. You don't have enough money to pay me. I personally respect him for that. Absolutely. 340 00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:24,000 He's like, this ain't my thing and I'm not going to do it. I don't care what you wave in front of me. I'm done. Yeah. 341 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:37,000 Andrew Luck. He had to step down because he just was destroyed. Yes. I mean, he had his spleen. What was it? No, not his spleen. He'd probably been dead. Right. 342 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:49,000 It was Phil Simms' kid, Chris Simms, who got his spleen fractured and the head removed. Yeah, that's right. Andrew Luck just got murdered on the field and he had to have several operations. He came back. 343 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:59,000 But then the next season, he retired before the next season. Yeah, it's like he wanted to come back and play to show he could come back from the injury and then leave on his own terms immediately. 344 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:10,000 He was a guy that had really good stats and he could have been a Hall of Famer if he could have been durable enough to stay in the NFL. Yeah, I can see that. 345 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:24,000 Yeah, but he couldn't. I mean, another thing was I think Indianapolis' front line probably wasn't as good as it could have been either. No. But anyhow, Andrew Luck could have been, but because of injuries, he didn't get there. Yeah. 346 00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:37,000 Let's see. What else? Oh, the big storyline was trying to see them in the AFC Championship game, L.A. against Luck, or not L.A., Manning against Luck. Yeah. Yeah. But it didn't turn out like that. 347 00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:52,000 Yeah. Another quarterback that seemed to have a lot of troubles and never live up to potential was RG3. 348 00:41:52,000 --> 00:42:03,000 Yes. He seemed like he had it all, everything he needed. It seemed like he had early success, but then just injuries. He couldn't take a doctor's advice as a problem. 349 00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:16,000 Oh, okay. I missed that part. He came back for that knee. I believe that's what happened. He tried to push it too hard. Yeah. Yeah. He thought he could come back for that knee injury in record time. It was never the same. Yeah. 350 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:27,000 Now, it's very possible that knee injury would have done it anyhow. True. True. Knee injuries are pretty tough to come back from. But he didn't do himself any favors by coming back so quick. Yeah. 351 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:45,000 He told everybody, I'll be back in like eight weeks or something. Something crazy. But he did. But he wasn't any good. After that, he just could not get it done. Before that, he looked great. Before that, he could run. He could throw on the run. 352 00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:56,000 He brought the excitement of the wide open college game to the stodgy old NFL. Yeah. It was fun. It was great. It was fun watching him. But after that knee injury, he was never the same. 353 00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:06,000 Yeah. And that tends to happen in the NFL. You get these, like Lamar Jackson's been really lucky. But you get a scrambling running quarterback. That's what I'm saying about injuries. 354 00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:17,000 And teams will figure out how to stop that at the cost of your knees. Yes. And it's not like they're intentionally going after your knees. It's just they don't care. 355 00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:32,000 That's my number one wild card right there. Yeah. Is Jackson getting injured because he runs so much? Yeah. Even if it's just a small injury where he can play but he's not mobile, that's going to hurt. 356 00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:43,000 Yeah. And I can see that happening. I can see that ruining their season. Yep. I can see that happening more than anything else of any other team is him getting injured. Yeah. Because of the style of play. 357 00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:59,000 I mean, he's a big guy and everything. But man, you know, like you said, the knees are a tough thing to go after. Yeah. And if your team falls apart when you lose one player, then maybe it wasn't so good. 358 00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:08,000 Yeah. True. Oh, here's going back a few years. Another quarterback that never lived up to potential was Jeff George. 359 00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:23,000 Oh, yeah. Jeff George had a million dollar arm and a dime mind. Yes. Yeah. He was immature. He was a brat. He was... 360 00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:33,000 He wouldn't take responsibility. Is that Miss Goldfenstein's husband? I think it was. I think it was too. Mr. Goldfenstein. But he's a mute. Yeah. 361 00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:45,000 You had to have seen it. You had to have been here. He came up and made some gestures. Yeah. With his two teeth. Yes. Yeah. Too bad we don't have video. I know. That would have been excellent. Yeah. One of these days, huh? 362 00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:58,000 I didn't say anything. I didn't want to encourage him. Oh. Yeah. First I thought you wanted him to sit down and he's like, oh no, bye. Yeah. He looked like he was going to come in and they just started doing weird gestures. And it's like, nah, that's all right. 363 00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:11,000 So we just kept talking and luckily Miss Goldfenstein's estranged husband has left. Looks like he is having a good time though. He seemed to be happy. Whoever he's talking to without a voice. He's doing great. 364 00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:26,000 Jeff George. Yeah. Okay. Jeff George had a pompous attitude. Never went well for him. He thought he could show up and win games. Yeah. And everyone had to change for him. Yes. Yeah. Didn't work. 365 00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:42,000 He was Colts and he was Falcons and there was a third team, wasn't there? Maybe the Rams. Do you remember Warren Moon playing for Kansas City? Yes. That's an odd one that I just remembered the other day. Yeah. 366 00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:50,000 He played for Seattle one year too, didn't he? Yeah, he did. He was a Houston Euler. Yeah. Yeah. This, which is now the Tennessee Titans. Yeah. 367 00:45:50,000 --> 00:46:07,000 Same colors. Yeah. Same colors too. Yeah. Yeah. I remember Warren Moon came over here for what? Two years maybe? Yeah, it was too. Yeah. Yeah. He was. Backup. Yeah. As a backup. He didn't have the same pass that he was doing. He was so good before. He wasn't like that when he came to Kansas City. 368 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:27,000 He was more into wife beating. Allegedly. Allegedly. Yeah. Yeah. He was one of those signings that wouldn't hurt the team and was kind of a draw for fans to come buy tickets and see. I think they're also hoping for nurturing, which I don't think they got. Yeah. 369 00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:43,000 Hey, come here kid. Hey, I noticed you doing a little flick motion there. That doesn't go well. Yeah. That doesn't go well, guy. Yeah. Coach up the rookies. By the time you have flick, those linebackers are on you. You're dead in the water. You're laying on the floor. Dead meat. 370 00:46:43,000 --> 00:47:04,000 Gone. Gone. Like Mickey from Rocky or something. Yeah. You lost, boy. You fucking lost. You're never coming back. You're a loser. Your life slips through your hands like grains of sand. You watch them go. 371 00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:18,000 Come up and like hit him in the face. Go. You can't do anything about that. You know why? Because you're a loser. Didn't Trump say that about people who lost their lives in war? Did he? Yeah. Losers and suckers. 372 00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:32,000 Oh, I remember that somebody's posting that on Facebook recently. He said you can't put up a flag for Memorial Day and then support the guy who called them suckers and losers for losing their life that way. I'll have to look for that. That's one of those things that I got to see. 373 00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:47,000 Oh, I remember when he said it. Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah. He's a draft dodger and he thought he was so smart and clever because he managed to avoid it and he thought anybody who got drafted went to war as a sucker. Yeah. And then when he got killed, he was a loser. 374 00:47:47,000 --> 00:48:09,000 That's not good. Yeah. And here are all these, you know, America's great people trying to support Trump. He spits on everything. Yeah. He just took a big dump on the military and its traditions. Oh, well. There's not an answer politically. Yeah. There's not an answer. 375 00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:38,000 Yeah. It's hard to remember the last really decent presidential election where we've had two decent choices. I'm trying to think. It's tough, isn't it? It is. Who did Eisenhower run against? Wilkie? Was it Wendell Wilkie? I think it was Wendell Wilkie. I don't know enough about him to say that might have been. Yeah. 376 00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:56,000 The campaign buttons were, I like, I. Yeah. Yeah. But he had respect because he was a general. He helped us win World War II. Yeah. Extremely intelligent. Called the military industrial complex, the military industrial complex. Yeah. Yeah. 377 00:48:56,000 --> 00:49:06,000 Who did Kennedy run against? In 1960. 378 00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:24,000 I'm trying to remember that. Was it Humphrey? No, Humphrey wasn't. Humphrey wasn't until like 68. Oh. Although he was he was in there in politics. Was it Nixon? Yes. It was Nixon. It was Nixon. That's right. Yeah. 379 00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:41,000 Now at that time nobody really knew what Nixon was all about so that seemed like a pretty decent choice. Yeah. Yeah. And I got to give him some credit with China. Yeah. He really did a good job with China. Hey, he started the Environmental Production Agency. He did. That was a Nixon invention. 380 00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:56,000 He also was for social services. He did a lot for that. I mean, I guess he wasn't nearly as bad as people portray him. You know, he was like big on defense. Yeah. We built a lot of Minutemen missiles underneath his guide. 381 00:49:56,000 --> 00:50:23,000 And you also got to remember when Nixon was building his political career and legacy was during the 50s and the 60s because Nixon was what Eisenhower's vice president. Yeah. From 52 to 58. But all the time that Nixon was growing and running as a Republican, the Democrats were still very closely associated with Jim Crow in the South. Yes, they were. 382 00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:41,000 They hadn't divorced themselves from that yet. So it was pretty easy to be the acceptable alternative to the Democratic candidate, especially a Southern Democrat candidate. Yes. Yeah. Because they were still all about the segregation and the Jim Crow and the denying civil rights. 383 00:50:41,000 --> 00:51:02,000 That's a good point. That's a good point. It's weird. You wouldn't think that about the Democratic Party nowadays. No. But I'm talking about in my lifetime. They were considering nominating someone like George Wallace, who was a plansman and a segregationist. Yes. That was in the 60s during my lifetime. And he got shot. Yeah. 384 00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:23,000 The Democrats were like, okay, all right, this guy's all right. Yeah. Shows you how far things have come. Yeah. RFK. What do you think of RFK Jr.? He's like that meme I sent you. He reminds me of Egger from Men in Black. You know, the bug wearing an Egger suit. 385 00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:45,000 You know, RFK, the big, I mean, I don't like some of the stances. I do like some of them. It just depends on what it is. His biggest issue is his voice. It's hard to believe that someone, and I know it's not his fault. Yeah, it isn't, you know, his condition that happened. But it's still hard to listen to. Yeah, it's hard to listen to. Yeah. 386 00:51:45,000 --> 00:52:11,000 If he had a regular speaking voice, I think he might have been a candidate for one or the other, depending on. Yeah, I think if he had a decent speaking voice, he'd be doing reality TV right now. Oh, yeah, you're right. Yeah. Because, you know, that guy's a train wreck you'd watch every week. But that voice would just turn the viewers off big time. Yeah. So that's kind of holding him back. And he runs his whole political campaign like it's a reality TV show. 387 00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:37,000 Well, that's the other thing, the reason he could never win is because he doesn't stand, it looks to me like he doesn't stand behind what he says. I think he goes for taglines. Yeah, yeah. You know, and you know, it's a good idea to be inclusive when you're running for political office. But you also got to remember all these different groups you're including. Some of them don't like each other. Yeah. 388 00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:57,000 So you got to learn how to include them and keep them from fighting each other within your within your campaign. I was trying to think who Dick Cheney made up a lie, supposedly made up a lie about an illegitimate interracial baby. And it wasn't true. Yeah. 389 00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:14,000 You know, and back then they probably thought something about that. Oh, yeah. You know, yeah, people thought that it is like a big deal. Not just being an interracial but the child out of wedlock. Yeah, it resonated with the people from an earlier generation who thought that was just shameful. 390 00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:44,000 He was going against somebody, I think maybe the Senate or something. And he started a whisper campaign about him. And the other guy had no idea this was going on about him and really no way to defend yourself, no way to defend yourself when you don't even know what's going on. Yeah, I mean, you come out and say, this is horrible. And then you get the reputation of someone who thinks having a biracial child is a horrible thing. Yes, exactly. That's what there's like no good way to distance yourself. And it's a type of people painting them right into a corner. That's the type of people that they're dealing with, too. 391 00:53:44,000 --> 00:54:05,120 Yeah. Oh, we can't have that. It's like if you walk up to somebody and ask, have you stopped abusing children yet? How do you answer that? Because it presumes something that isn't even real yet. But there's no way to answer that question and come out looking good. Someone asked him about that and he laughed. Oh, yeah, that was a good one. 392 00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:35,120 That's probably the only way to do is just treat it like it's a joke. Yeah. But evidently, it worked. Yeah. So and now, I mean, nowadays, that wouldn't work at all. It'd be funny to be like, well, what's the problem? You know, and as well as should be. I mean, that's the way it should be. Yeah. But we've come far enough to where something like that wouldn't work. Well, they think of something else. Yeah. Yeah. Everything changes and adapts. 393 00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:56,800 I don't know. Oh, yeah. Remember when calling somebody a commie was like a horrible, deadly insult? Wow. Pinko. Yes. Yeah. Different times. Whatever that meant. Pinko was communist. I remember some of the in grade school, some of the kids using hippie as an insult. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It was an insult. 394 00:54:56,800 --> 00:55:20,480 That to a degree. Dirty hippie. Yeah. Yeah. I'm proud to come from hippie roots. It's kind of like damn dirty ape. Yeah. Dirty hippie. Charleston Heston. Charlton Heston on the planet of the apes. Yes. Yeah. Yes. Oh, my gosh. Boy, has it come a long way since all of this happened. 395 00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:46,560 Yeah. You know, it took me a long, long time to get that planet of the apes was also about how white people treated people of color. You never made the correlation. Yeah. Do now. And now it's flipped around and humans are the sub not intelligent, just, you know, beasts and only ape cultures. 396 00:55:46,560 --> 00:56:15,680 But it was like flipping, flipping the roles on all the segregation based on skin color. Well, I'd like to see the education statistics now. Man. I would, I would dare to say like maybe Indian from India has a high graduation, high level rate. 397 00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:32,400 And then a high level of what they learn like medical. Yeah. Yeah. The technical jobs, the specialty jobs, the ones where you really not only have to learn it, but you have to keep up to date on it. Yeah. Continually learn the whole rest of your career. 398 00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:55,280 Yeah. It's funny because now it seems like schools know they're like, well, you know what? Maybe we should try to get these people over here and these ones can go to a state school. Yeah. Yeah. Well, before is like talking about going out of the country. Oh, no. They finally learned. Doesn't matter where they come from. What matters is what they know and what they can do. 399 00:56:55,280 --> 00:57:17,200 Yeah. So I'm, I'm remembering a time when a high school diploma was something you actually had to work to get. And it was worth a whole hell of a lot. It meant a lot. Now it's not worth anything. Not worth a damn thing. Yeah. Yeah. And even back in the seventies, you could get a GED instead of high school. But you were looked at as a second class. 400 00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:36,160 Now GED is the same thing. Yeah. Now with the GED, it's like good for you being smart enough to get the hell out of public school. Yes. Yeah. That's a good point. People were like, oh, you're a standout. Good. Good job. Yeah. Before is like this loser couldn't even go to class five days a week. 401 00:57:36,160 --> 00:58:05,440 Funny. Yeah. Well, you know, it's healthy for priorities to change and things to come into fashion and go out of fashion. It's just so easy now with worldwide, virtually instant communication that whatever suddenly becomes a fad in like Tasmania could be suddenly a fad here tomorrow. 402 00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:30,720 Just because we can communicate that fast. And yeah. And what used to happen was the dumb or silly or flash in the pan kind of ones would get weeded out and die off before they ever made it to be populated areas. Yeah, because they didn't have anything saving them. Yeah. I mean, it was just them in the world. And whenever it was them in the world, that was it, man. The world would take care of it. 403 00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:49,280 But now you can put something on a platform and have it seen by tens of millions of not hundreds of millions of people. And you can get something to catch on immediately. Yeah. Even though it's probably just silly. Yeah. And they'll get replaced just as quickly. 404 00:58:49,280 --> 00:59:15,920 When when I was going to high school in Raymore, which is like, what 1015 miles south of Casey, I noticed that that trends and slang and things would take about two weeks to a month to make that distance from Kansas City to a small town like Raymore back then. Raymore was a really small town. 405 00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:43,040 I've got a good one for you. I used to listen to WLS in Chicago at night. You can pick it up here. Big flame throwing rock station had the Larry Lujacs and people like that on there. And you know, the big voice guys played in the spinning the records. They would get new music about a week before we did. Yeah. That's because they didn't have an internet to just throw it to everybody. Yeah. It's kind of like we're working our way over there. Just hang on. 406 00:59:43,040 --> 01:00:12,960 Yeah. That and that used to actually be a calculated strategy is to release at certain times in certain areas. And then it looks like it's still gaining steam when it's not. Yeah. Now it's just everywhere all at once. Boom. I know it's funny because I knew a song before anyone else went on the radio here with KY playing. I go, oh yeah, yeah, that's a new Don Felder. It's called Heaven Metal. You know, he got away from the Eagles and started doing his own thing. What? Oh, yeah, you would look like the genius. It's like, you're like really hooked in, man. 407 01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:41,840 Where are you getting all this info? I used to do that all the time. People could figure it out. It was simple, man. I just listened to WLS at night. Yeah. Because whatever 890 was here, they had to turn it down. I think it's a religious station. Yeah, there's never been any big station on that frequency. I think it's a low watt AM type of deal. So but speaking of that, you said something that really caught me because it's true. What did 810 WHB do their signal? Sport station? Yeah. 408 01:00:41,840 --> 01:01:10,840 It's way weaker. Yeah, I can't hardly get it sometimes. It's full of interference. Yeah. So they've had to turn down because apparently somebody else somewhere has that same frequency and has more rights to it. So WHB had to turn their transmitter down. Yeah, boy, have they changed? Yeah, they used to be the big dog in town. Yeah, they used to. They're not anymore. I think Odyssey finally came up with an answer to T.V. 409 01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:26,840 They didn't take the whole sports market instead of part of it. Something I noticed is Siren, their anchor show, the program. Curtis Seabolt was a guy we couldn't think of. Yeah, that's right. Siren's doing a lot of spin off podcasts. 410 01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:52,840 It's probably going to be his next revenue streams. I think it is. Yeah, I mean, Keatsman's doing it. Yeah. So I mean, I think there's money there if you're well known. True. Not like us. No, no. Plus, you have to actually aggressively monetize and seek sponsors. Oh, there was something I saw the other day. First time I've actually really noticed it. 411 01:01:52,840 --> 01:02:12,840 I saw product placement within a commercial. Now, I'm used to seeing tie ins. Think about it. It makes sense. Yeah. You're already paying for it. But I'm used to seeing, like, you know, Progressive Insurance did a tie in with Despicable Me movie number two or three. Yeah. 412 01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:34,840 To where they would, you know, do the commercial in the theme of Despicable Me and then mention that. But this was an advertisement for like a cold medicine. Uh huh. And during it, they showed the person who took the cold medicine picking up a can of Coca Cola with the logo and label perfectly visible and taking a drink and then smiling. 413 01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:53,840 Wow. It's a commercial within a commercial. Yeah. That's amazing. And they probably paid half of the, you know, half of the commercial just to be there. Yeah. Now, maybe the same parent company owns Coca Cola and this drug. That could be. Yeah. 414 01:02:53,840 --> 01:03:22,840 I mean, like Pepsi and Taco Bell, you know, every Taco Bell commercial, they have a huge Pepsi ice cold in the background. Yeah. Same deal. Here's an interesting thing to look into for a future podcast is if you look back at the corporate records, you'll notice that when processed food became a big deal in this country in the like 40s, 50s, et cetera, and you can see that. 415 01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:35,840 And all these food plants and food distributions and just the whole big processed food craze, the companies that got into it first and started it were tobacco companies. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. 416 01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:45,840 Tobacco companies who had spent decades learning how to make their product more and more addictive. Don't you think did the same thing with processed food? Of course they did. 417 01:03:45,840 --> 01:04:00,840 That's why the health is so shitty in this country. We're all eating addictive processed products to make somebody else money. A lot of people do not know this. Yeah. Anything in a package is processed. Absolutely. So think about that. Yep. 418 01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:16,840 Unless you go buy it by the one somewhere, it's processed. Yep. You don't know what's in it, where it came from. They're not required to give you all the ingredients, just like cigarette paper. Yeah. Don't have to give you all the ingredients. 419 01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:35,840 There's some bad stuff in there. Well, there's stuff 10 times more addictive than heroin. Yeah. I mean, yeah, no wonder no one can quit smoking. Yeah. They quit heroin. They quit meth. They quit gambling. Yeah. Can't quit smoking. Yeah. Nicotine is way tougher to kick. Yeah. 420 01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:47,840 And it's not because of the nicotine itself. It's because of what they put in the paper because there's people that can quit chewing tobacco. Mm hmm. Pipe tobacco. Yeah. Pipe tobacco. Real easily. Yeah. Cigarettes. Yeah. Rolled up cigarette. Yeah. 421 01:04:48,840 --> 01:05:02,840 Which is where they made most of the profit off of. It is. So that's the one they wanted to keep us addicted to. Then they have the subliminal advertising I told you about. Yeah. In Europe, the Formula One car, I believe it was, used to have like a big Marlboro symbol on it. 422 01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:17,840 And then they said, hey, we don't want that sponsoring. You can't put that on your car anymore. Yeah. So they put a bunch of blocks on there that kind of resemble Marlboro, but really wasn't. But when they're going 110 miles an hour, it's almost the Marlboro logo. 423 01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:33,840 Because they keyed it in with the frame rate of the video camera. Yeah. It's funny because technically they do not have the symbol on there. Yep. But really, mentally they did. Yep. And there's nothing the government could do about it. It's like they would have to pass new law. Yeah. It's like, what's this? Just a bunch of blocks. 424 01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:54,840 Just a bunch of blocks. Do you know what resembles a Marlboro? Oh, well, I guess it does. What an amazing coincidence. Wow. That is something else. Anyhow, you done? I got to go. Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty much. Yeah. Yeah. I thought that was brilliant. I mean, that was somebody earned their pay that day. Yep. 425 01:05:54,840 --> 01:06:07,840 Didn't you really sit down and listen to all that garbage that was being, do you actually believe one inch of it? I didn't think so. Hang on. Game over.
