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 --> 00:00:37,000
Hello, this is the two originals Topher and Mark.

6
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Hi everyone.

7
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,000
We are doing the original NFL show.

8
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,000
We did our predictions last time, so we're down here at the city market

9
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,000
and we encourage people to join in even though you'll hear this in two days.

10
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,000
We should have brought a sign that says sit down and talk.

11
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:00,000
Yeah, for real. I mean if you're a time traveler, come on by.

12
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Yes.

13
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Yes, we encourage that.

14
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,000
Actually, it would probably work if we put a sign that says don't sit down and talk.

15
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,000
Then they will.

16
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,000
Yeah, leave us alone, we're podcasting.

17
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:19,000
They'll be like, hey, hey, look.

18
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:28,000
So, anyhow, do you want to just start rating the games and kind of coming up with who we think is going to win?

19
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,000
Yeah.

20
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Any side notes, like if you think someone is going to perform excessively well or anything,

21
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:41,000
just stuff like that, just kind of detail it a little bit better than we did last time.

22
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:46,000
Yeah, last time we were strictly going by indices and records and kind of year they would have,

23
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,000
but this is an opportunity to kind of dig into the game by game.

24
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Yeah, and I have a list of the games right here, starting with Thursday night.

25
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,000
The most important game.

26
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,000
The most important game, yes.

27
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:04,000
And also a little bit later on in the program here, we're going to have Skip Bayless's stupidest statements.

28
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,000
I can't wait for that.

29
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,000
Here's what the problem is, Topher.

30
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:13,000
I spent an hour on this and the list was so long I couldn't go through it.

31
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,000
So I had to just pick some of the high spots.

32
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:23,000
And the same way with the next feature, which would be Chris Collinsworth homoerotic statements.

33
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,000
There are almost as many as Skip Bayless's.

34
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,000
I mean, they've got to be doing it on purpose.

35
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,000
I would think so.

36
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:35,000
They've got to figure this is getting me traction in my career, so I'm going to keep doing it.

37
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,000
I don't care what you think of me.

38
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:47,000
I heard through the grapevine that allegedly that Skip Bayless's actual name on his bursary

39
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,000
is Skipper Ballas.

40
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:55,000
So he had to change it just a little bit.

41
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,000
Oh my gosh.

42
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,000
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

43
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,000
All right.

44
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,000
So we're going to start off.

45
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,000
This is going to be broadcast on NBC, Telemundo and Universal.

46
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,000
It's the Ravens against the Chiefs.

47
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,000
In Arrowhead.

48
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,000
In Arrowhead, yes.

49
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:20,000
And I mean, this is going to be a litmus test, but also it's going to be a revenge game.

50
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,000
Oh yeah.

51
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:27,000
I know it's at Arrowhead and I think the Chiefs, you go ahead and then I'll go ahead with that.

52
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,000
Oh, OK.

53
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:34,000
I like the fact the second year in a row the Chiefs are kicking off the season.

54
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,000
I know they tend to try to get the Super Bowl teams to kick off the season.

55
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:43,000
And Chiefs is one of the last two years, so it kind of follows.

56
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:49,000
Lamar Jackson was quoted recently as saying, they asked him about this being a revenge game.

57
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,000
And he said, frankly, any game I'm in feels like a revenge game.

58
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,000
That tells me that that's a very determined man.

59
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:03,000
He knows what he wants and he's really focused because he could have said all sorts of stuff.

60
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:10,000
But from what he said and that just kind of boiled down to that simple language,

61
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:16,000
I think Lamar Jackson is more dangerous this year than he has been recently.

62
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,000
I would agree. He's a hungry, hungry man right now.

63
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,000
And also another thing is, he's smart.

64
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,000
He is.

65
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,000
Why inflame the monster? Why poke the bear?

66
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:32,000
He knows. He's not motherfucking Mahomes like other people.

67
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,000
He's not dissing him.

68
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,000
It doesn't do any good.

69
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,000
He sees other people make those mistakes.

70
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,000
It's great when you learn from your own mistakes.

71
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,000
It's even better when you learn from other people's mistakes.

72
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,000
Lamar Jackson can do both.

73
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,000
Yes, he can.

74
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,000
Take Jamar Chase.

75
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:54,000
He did not say Mahomes, but he did say Mahomes.

76
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,000
I think he kind of figured, you know what?

77
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,000
It hasn't been working.

78
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,000
So I'm just going to tell the truth.

79
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,000
He was asked who was the best quarterback in the league.

80
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,000
He said, I can't say his name.

81
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,000
So that would be one Patrick Mahomes.

82
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:21,000
I think that he finally comes to terms that all I'm doing is looking like an idiot.

83
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,000
I mean like a little skippy ballist.

84
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:30,000
There's a level of being a homer that's expected.

85
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,000
You pick your own team to win.

86
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,000
You always think you're going to win.

87
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:40,000
But to carry it so far as to say we have the best players, the best team, the best everything,

88
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,000
when you clearly don't, it just gets embarrassing after a while.

89
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,000
Well, yeah, it sounds like sour grapes.

90
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,000
It sounds like spoiled milk.

91
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:53,000
I mean, it's just like people are like, oh, okay, well, you sound scorned.

92
00:05:53,000 --> 00:06:02,000
Even during all the years when Brady was winning and Elway was winning and Peyton Manning was winning,

93
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,000
I didn't like watching them win so much because they always beat the Chiefs.

94
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:12,000
But I never thought of them as anything less than an amazingly brilliant quarterback.

95
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,000
Oh, I was the same way.

96
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,000
I'd marvel but be mad.

97
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,000
Yeah.

98
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:21,000
And so for people to come in and just try to pretend Mahomes isn't what he really is,

99
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,000
doesn't it seem childish to you?

100
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,000
It is childish.

101
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,000
Yeah.

102
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,000
Yeah.

103
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:34,000
It's like you're scrunching your eyes so tight that you can will away the rock that's about to hit you.

104
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,000
No.

105
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,000
It didn't work that way.

106
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,000
It's not going to work.

107
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,000
Yeah.

108
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,000
Yeah.

109
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,000
Yeah.

110
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:45,000
So I mean, Lewis, like you said, is a hungry man.

111
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,000
The only problem with Lewis is this right here.

112
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,000
Lewis?

113
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,000
Or not Lewis.

114
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,000
Lamar.

115
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,000
No, Lewis.

116
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,000
Okay.

117
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,000
All right.

118
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,000
Sorry.

119
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,000
You know what?

120
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,000
It's still early.

121
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,000
I'm still drinking my hot chocolate.

122
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,000
And there have been a lot of football players named Lewis.

123
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,000
Yeah, there have.

124
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,000
So yeah.

125
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Lewis is his cousin.

126
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,000
Yeah.

127
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,000
Yeah.

128
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,000
Yeah.

129
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,000
Yeah.

130
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,000
Very nice guy.

131
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,000
Very nice guy.

132
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,000
So, okay.

133
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,000
Jackson's a hungry man.

134
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,000
Okay.

135
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,000
And he wants that title really bad, which is good.

136
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,000
I mean, that's what you want from your quarterback.

137
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,000
You want your quarterback.

138
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,000
You not go make mistakes.

139
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,000
Yeah.

140
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,000
But say something positive.

141
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,000
Say something that's not going to inflame the competition.

142
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,000
Yeah.

143
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,000
You want to fire up your own team without firing up the other team at the same time.

144
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Yes.

145
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,000
Well, I mean, I can't wait to see what the Kermit the Frog does.

146
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,000
You know what I mean?

147
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,000
I know.

148
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,000
That's going to be fun.

149
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:45,000
Like, Mahomes didn't have enough revenge on his mind from last year anyhow.

150
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:54,000
If the Chiefs are as smart as I think they are, somebody in their public relations or

151
00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:01,000
fan relations department is going to make up a few thousand Kermit the Frog dolls.

152
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,000
Yes.

153
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,000
Dressed in, what would they put Mahomes' jersey on, Kermit the Frog?

154
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,000
Is that what they did?

155
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,000
Yeah.

156
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,000
And they did some crazy, yeah, boys.

157
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,000
I think they're going to make up a bunch of those and hand them out at the stadium.

158
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,000
Oh, that would be excellent.

159
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:21,000
So the Raiders fans can be seen on TV holding all these little dolls up and fire up the team.

160
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,000
I think the Chiefs are going to do it themselves.

161
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,000
That would be the smartest thing to do.

162
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:26,000
That would be excellent.

163
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,000
That would fire up the team.

164
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:32,000
That would fire up the home crowd here in KC.

165
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,000
I've got a great example.

166
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,000
Chicago skipped over him, picked Mitch Trevisky.

167
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,000
Trevisky?

168
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,000
Yeah.

169
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,000
He's kind of not in the league in anywhere.

170
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,000
No, he is.

171
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,000
I think he's a backup for somebody.

172
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,000
I can't remember.

173
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,000
Bills, I think.

174
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:51,000
Yeah, he's a Bills backup, yeah.

175
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:55,000
And then, let's see, what were some of the other ones that he went after?

176
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,000
Kind of, but kind of not, but kind of proved his point.

177
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,000
He should have picked me.

178
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:09,000
The other one was, oh, he went to Texas, and now he is with the Browns, the quarterback.

179
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,000
Watson?

180
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,000
Watson.

181
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,000
Yeah.

182
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,000
So anyhow, Watson, I think, went above him, too.

183
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,000
I think so, yeah.

184
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,000
So he was the third quarterback picked in the draft.

185
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:25,000
And I was reading part of that, and they said his footwork was awful.

186
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,000
What they didn't see was it didn't matter.

187
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,000
Yeah.

188
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,000
Yeah.

189
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,000
He could throw from any position.

190
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,000
So I think a lot of it was Brett Veach.

191
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,000
And then finally, from what I read the other day, Andy Reed says, enough.

192
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,000
This guy's fantastic.

193
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,000
I see it.

194
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,000
I see it, you know, because he kept sending videos, highlights of him.

195
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:51,000
And so I guess, like, Reed and the rest and company are smart enough, naggy at the time.

196
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,000
And I think the enemy, I'm not sure if he was with them or not when they drafted him.

197
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,000
I think so.

198
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,000
Okay.

199
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:02,000
So they were smart enough to leave him alone and let Alex Smith, because Alex Smith, a

200
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:08,000
very smart quarterback, really smart quarterback, figure out how to tutor and train this guy.

201
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,000
And obviously, he did a fantastic job.

202
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,000
Yeah.

203
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:17,000
I mean, when the guy's dad's thanking you and the man himself is thanking you and everybody

204
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,000
on the whole team is thanking you, then that's something.

205
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,000
Yeah.

206
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,000
So.

207
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:26,000
Oh, but anyhow, Ravens versus Chiefs.

208
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:34,000
I think the Ravens are going to give the Chiefs everything they can handle offensively.

209
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:39,000
I think the Chiefs D is going to struggle to get a handle on the Ravens.

210
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:44,000
I can see the Chiefs going down early and clawing their way back.

211
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,000
I think the Chiefs will win.

212
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,000
They're going to be unveiling the banner of the new Super Bowl banner.

213
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,000
It's home game to start the season.

214
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,000
The whole football nation is watching.

215
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,000
Yeah.

216
00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:00,000
I think that'll be enough to give the Chiefs what they need to beat the Ravens.

217
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,000
But I think it's going to be tough.

218
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:05,000
At the end of the game, we're going to be exhausted from watching.

219
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,000
Yeah.

220
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,000
Yeah.

221
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,000
And it's going to be like the Super Bowl where I'm standing up.

222
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,000
Yeah.

223
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,000
Yeah.

224
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,000
Were you standing up too during the Super Bowl because a couple of guys at work said

225
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,000
they were too.

226
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,000
Yeah.

227
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,000
I was restless.

228
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,000
Yeah.

229
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,000
I couldn't sit down.

230
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:27,000
At first Super Bowl, 54, at halftime, I had to go lie down because I was just so nervous

231
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,000
and worked up.

232
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,000
Yeah.

233
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,000
Yeah.

234
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,000
So was I.

235
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,000
Yeah.

236
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,000
Then I had to end up staying in the kitchen.

237
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,000
Every time I went to Rotel, we either got an interception or we scored.

238
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,000
I go back in there with my dip and my chip services.

239
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,000
Go back.

240
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,000
Yes.

241
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:49,000
Luckily, the guy was very affluent at the house we were at.

242
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,000
So we had a big TV in the kitchen.

243
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,000
Oh, well that's good.

244
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,000
So I was like, you know what?

245
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,000
This is just as good.

246
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,000
Yes.

247
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,000
Plus I'm closer to the food.

248
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,000
Oh, that's always a plus.

249
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,000
Double.

250
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:00,000
Yeah.

251
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:05,000
All right, so do you have a number on it or not?

252
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,000
34, 31.

253
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,000
I love that score.

254
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,000
No overtime, but 34, 31.

255
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,000
Okay.

256
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:20,000
I too think it's going to be a struggle, but I think it's going to be a struggle until

257
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,000
the third quarter.

258
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,000
And I think the Chiefs are going to pull away from it.

259
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,000
Oh, I'd love to see that.

260
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,000
Yeah.

261
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:29,960
I think it's going to be a very tough game, but I can foresee the Chiefs figuring it out

262
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,000
and just pounding their chest.

263
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,000
Yeah.

264
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:37,000
I think that last year their embarrassment against the Lions is still in their minds.

265
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,000
I hope so.

266
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,000
I hope they're still thinking about that.

267
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,000
Yeah.

268
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,000
I think that there's a lot of different factors that's going to propel them to do this and

269
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,000
do it right.

270
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,000
Yeah.

271
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,000
The game I'm worried about is against Cincinnati.

272
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,000
Yeah, the very next one.

273
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,000
Yeah.

274
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:57,000
It's there, and they definitely have a bone to pick with us.

275
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:04,000
They've started to define their season by how they do against the Chiefs, which is flattering

276
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,000
for the Kansas City Chiefs.

277
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,000
But not so flattering for them.

278
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,000
Yeah, and it means you're going to get their best.

279
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:14,000
You're going to get their all or nothing effort.

280
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,000
Yeah.

281
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,000
Yeah, I agree.

282
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,000
Hey, Jamar, the water's warm.

283
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,000
Come on over.

284
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,000
Definitely.

285
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,000
Come on over.

286
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,000
No big deal.

287
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,000
We've got enough room here.

288
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,000
We've got enough room in the pool.

289
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,000
Jump on in.

290
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,000
Yep.

291
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,000
Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.

292
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:32,000
You've won a championship over here instead of just be there and do it.

293
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:37,000
I was going to say a side note, but Brandon I.U. finally signed with San Francisco.

294
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,000
He kind of had to at this point, didn't he?

295
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,000
I mean, geez.

296
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:45,000
Yeah, they were talking about, what, Pittsburgh, and then they were talking about Washington.

297
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:50,000
Was it a contract to subdue him and get him on the team, or was it a long-term one that

298
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,000
he wanted?

299
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,000
I didn't see the details now that you mentioned it, but...

300
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:58,000
I'll have to look it up later, but I have a feeling it might be like the Chris Jones'

301
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,000
contract.

302
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,000
Yeah.

303
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:04,000
They had to shovel some money around, and Kelsey gave up a little for later on.

304
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,000
Yeah.

305
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:09,000
So they could sign Chris Jones that one year, and then work on the contract all year long.

306
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,000
Yeah.

307
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,000
And it proved to work out fine.

308
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:21,000
So I have some questions about our secondary, but like I said on the last one that you and

309
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,000
I, why should I not trust Spagnolo?

310
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:25,000
Yeah.

311
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,000
He's been figuring it out.

312
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,000
He really has.

313
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,000
Yeah.

314
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:33,000
I mean, we had nobody beginning last year according to everybody.

315
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,000
Yeah.

316
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,000
Yeah.

317
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,000
I'm hoping to see a big year out of Watson in the secondary.

318
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,000
I think so.

319
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,000
There's a Watson who's a wide receiver, and there's a Watson who's in the secondary.

320
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:45,000
The Watson that's a wide receiver, is he on the practice squad, or did he make the team?

321
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,000
I can't remember.

322
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,000
I think he made the team.

323
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:52,000
They were planning on him making the team, but that was before they signed Smiths-Easter.

324
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,000
Juju.

325
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,000
Yeah.

326
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,000
Yeah.

327
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:59,000
I think Juju's a great signing too, because I think Juju knows the offense.

328
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,000
He's had a series of unfortunate events up there in New England.

329
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:08,000
He was injured, couldn't have very good quarterbacks or a system to work with.

330
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,000
The team was in disarray.

331
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,000
Yeah.

332
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,000
Very much.

333
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,000
Yeah.

334
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,000
I think she was just going to come here, and he's going to be like a kid with a big fucking

335
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,000
thing of candy.

336
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,000
Yeah.

337
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,000
I'm going to reach in there and get every sweet tart I can.

338
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:28,000
He'll be a good transition point from the current team, guys who've been there a few

339
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,000
years, and the new players.

340
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,000
Yes.

341
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:36,000
The rookies and the free agent ones who don't know Kansas City, don't know Arrowhead, et

342
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,000
cetera.

343
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,000
Juju can say, hey, I've played somewhere else, and I came here.

344
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,000
I've left again.

345
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,000
Now I'm back again.

346
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:49,000
He can kind of be their guide on how to transition into a Chiefs' culture.

347
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,000
Kind of like Hardman did.

348
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,000
Is Hardman with the team or not?

349
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,000
I think he made it second string, didn't he?

350
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,000
Yeah.

351
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,000
Okay.

352
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,000
Hardman did that.

353
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:04,000
He signed with the Jets, and then they traded him back to us for a player later to be named.

354
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:09,000
Then he came back, and he was actually one of the heroes of the Super Bowl.

355
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,000
Yeah.

356
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,000
Yeah.

357
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:17,000
So Juju could... I know he didn't get traded back just in time for the Super Bowl or not.

358
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:23,000
He got traded back later on in the season when the Jets realized they weren't going anywhere.

359
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:29,000
Did they release... I can't remember if they released him or traded him.

360
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:33,000
My first instinct to say this is they released him.

361
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,000
Okay.

362
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:39,000
So he kind of did the same thing, and Schuster's kind of like, you know what?

363
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,000
Okay.

364
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,000
I've got another start here.

365
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,000
I'm going to make the most of it, kind of like Hardman did.

366
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,000
Yeah.

367
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,000
So, all right.

368
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:52,000
The next game is... This is Friday, September 6th.

369
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,000
So there's a Thursday game, and there's a Friday game this year.

370
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,000
That's unusual.

371
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,000
It is.

372
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:04,000
And this is a good one, because this is a litmus test for the Packers, and definitely

373
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,000
the Eagles, the way they flamed out last year.

374
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:15,000
So we have the Packers in Philadelphia playing the Eagles on Friday, September 6th.

375
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,000
Your thoughts?

376
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:26,000
You know, if it was in Green Bay, that would make this easier.

377
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,000
I'm... I don't know.

378
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:34,000
It's hard to trust either team, but I think the Eagles at home with their new running

379
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:40,000
pack are going to be riding the high enough that they can handle the Packers.

380
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,000
Okay.

381
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:47,000
And the Packers seem to go year after year with the attitude of, hey, we're the Packers.

382
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,000
We're good.

383
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,000
You know?

384
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,000
We're tough.

385
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,000
I agree.

386
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,000
I agree.

387
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,000
We're good enough just because we're the Packers.

388
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:59,000
But they kind of barely make up for that on the... They barely back it up on the field.

389
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,000
Yes.

390
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,000
That's what I'm trying to say.

391
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,000
So I think the Eagles being at home are going to probably win that one.

392
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,000
I would agree.

393
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,000
Yeah.

394
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,000
Do you have a number in mind?

395
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:18,000
I think it'll be a two-score game, probably a margin of like nine to 10, something like

396
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,000
that, but not a real high-scoring game.

397
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:26,000
So call it like 28-17 or something like that.

398
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:33,000
I am going that way too, and here's why, not that Philadelphia is that great, but I think

399
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,000
that Jordan Love's going to come back there early.

400
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:41,000
He has a full season where people have been studying him, looking at him, watching him.

401
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:48,000
And I know he was behind Rodgers and all that and had time to watch him, but I mean, Rodgers

402
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:53,000
didn't like him because that's kind of what it looks like.

403
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,000
And Rodgers is definitely pissed about them drafting him.

404
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:03,000
So I'm not sure how much Jordan got to actually learn in that time.

405
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,000
So I'm thinking, he looked good at times.

406
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:12,000
He looked really good in the playoffs, which is fantastic, but I just think that he is

407
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,000
going to actually kind of come back to earth.

408
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:18,000
He's not going to fail, but he's going to be more pedestrian this year.

409
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:23,000
You made a good point about the team studying him because last season, teams had basically

410
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,000
one week to get ready for him.

411
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,000
That's all the time they spent on it because they had other teams the other weeks.

412
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,000
But they've had a whole off season.

413
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:35,000
Everybody has looked at the schedule, especially the division rivals, and said, okay, now we

414
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:36,000
can learn.

415
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,000
We've watched the whole season of him.

416
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,000
Let's look at what he does.

417
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,000
Let's look at his tendencies.

418
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:47,000
See, that's where that Amazon AWS next-gen stats comes in.

419
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,000
They're analyzing the opponents with that shit.

420
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,000
Oh, I know.

421
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,000
Yeah.

422
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,000
And it's actually a great tool.

423
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,000
Yeah.

424
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:59,000
It's like, hey, 46% of the time on third in this distance, you know, they go to this type

425
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,000
of pass.

426
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,000
So let's hammer that kind of pass.

427
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,000
It makes it easy.

428
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,000
Yeah.

429
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,000
I think there's flaws in Jordan Love's game.

430
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,000
I think there's plenty of them to expose.

431
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:23,000
But then again, like I said last time, Brent Hurts is someone just waiting, screaming to

432
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,000
break a leg.

433
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,000
Yeah.

434
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,000
Yeah.

435
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,000
He doesn't give me the impression of he's going to be there that long.

436
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:36,000
I mean, he has all the talent, but he looks fragile for some reason, doesn't he?

437
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,000
Yeah, he does.

438
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:44,000
And also the way he just goes at it with no regard, I'm just running forward and I don't

439
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,000
give a shit.

440
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,000
Yeah.

441
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,000
He's a quarterback still.

442
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:51,000
Even though he's a running quarterback, he's still a quarterback.

443
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,000
Yeah.

444
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:56,000
So I just don't see him last in all season.

445
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:02,000
But above all, I think that that kind of offense, they're kind of guarding against now and they

446
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:07,000
kind of, I don't know, not figured it out, but coiled it.

447
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,000
Yeah.

448
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:13,000
Because if you notice the last part of last season, they weren't that high score in juggernaut.

449
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,000
No.

450
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,000
Yeah.

451
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,000
They're fighting for every score they got.

452
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,000
Yeah.

453
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:22,000
And their defense in what games they did win in the last five, did they even win one in

454
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,000
the last five?

455
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,000
I think they won one in the last five.

456
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:25,000
Yeah.

457
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:26,000
They had quite a slide there.

458
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:27,000
Yeah.

459
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,000
Yeah.

460
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:32,800
And they were not going, you know, I mean, the Super Bowl before was 38-35.

461
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:33,800
There was none of that going on.

462
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,120
You know, there's none of that going on.

463
00:21:36,120 --> 00:21:41,000
And there wasn't that push up the middle to where Andy Reid said, don't score.

464
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,000
Yeah.

465
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:47,000
You know, let's take off and just give him two seconds left to come up with three points.

466
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:52,000
Number one, he knew Hurts didn't have that time, he doesn't have that type of range.

467
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,000
Yeah.

468
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,000
It's a hell Mary at best.

469
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:56,000
And it didn't work.

470
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:01,000
I mean, no one caught it, it was an incompletion.

471
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:06,000
So I think that there's a lot of that that's going to happen this year.

472
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:10,000
I think they're going to be a good team and win the division, but I don't.

473
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,000
I picked them winning the division too.

474
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,000
Yeah.

475
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,000
I think they're good enough to win the division, but I think there's enough exposure in their

476
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,000
game to where good teams will catch it.

477
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,000
Yeah.

478
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,000
So.

479
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,000
All right.

480
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,000
Let's see Steelers versus the Falcons.

481
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,000
Oh, gosh.

482
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:29,000
Let's see.

483
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,000
Kirk Cousins with the Falcons.

484
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,000
Yeah.

485
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,000
Does he have any receivers over there?

486
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:41,000
I can't think of one right off hand.

487
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,000
I don't really know household names, I guess.

488
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,000
No, no Jefferson, nothing, huh?

489
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:48,000
No.

490
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,000
Gosh.

491
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,000
Okay.

492
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,000
Yeah.

493
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,000
What are your thoughts?

494
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,000
I don't even care where it's being played.

495
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:04,000
I think it's going to be a pretty boring game to watch, a couple of mediocre teams.

496
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:08,000
You can't really do much.

497
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,000
I'm going to lean towards the Steelers.

498
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:14,000
I think they're going to be able to figure something out and get something going.

499
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:19,000
I think both teams really had a scramble of quarterback in the offseason, but the Steelers,

500
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:26,000
I think, it hurts me to say it, but I think the Steelers have better quarterback than

501
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:31,000
the Falcons, even though neither one have very good.

502
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:36,000
Well, I agree with you, but maybe not for the same reason, and here's why.

503
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,000
He doesn't have the weapons around him.

504
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:40,000
Yeah, yeah.

505
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:47,000
I think the Steelers are going to make more decisive, bold moves on the field.

506
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,000
Yeah.

507
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:55,000
I think Kirk Cousins is just going to kind of mediocre their way to a disappointing loss.

508
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,000
Yeah.

509
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,000
Yeah, that's how I see it.

510
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:02,000
Do you have a number in mind or not?

511
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:06,000
Low scoring, probably like 23-13.

512
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,000
Okay.

513
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:15,000
Real quick, the Friday game, I have 27 to 10, the Eagles.

514
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:22,000
Okay, so I didn't give the score on the Eagles, so that's my prediction of the score.

515
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:27,000
So the next Sunday game that we're talking about was the Steelers and the Falcons, and

516
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,000
I feel the same way you do.

517
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,000
Yeah.

518
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,000
Both teams are in transition.

519
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,000
The Steelers are trying to find that guy.

520
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:36,000
Yeah.

521
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,000
They have Justin Fields and Russell Wilson.

522
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,000
I think Fields is going to win that just because he's younger, and neither one of them are

523
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,000
no good.

524
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,000
Yeah.

525
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:48,000
Russell Wilson's been a proven distraction, even though Mike Tomlin runs the show.

526
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:52,000
I still think there's going to be some of this, just throw the young guy in there.

527
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,000
Maybe we can groom him.

528
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,000
Maybe he has the tools.

529
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,000
He can run.

530
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,000
He can throw.

531
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,000
He seems pretty intelligent.

532
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:05,000
So, you know, I think that they're just going to throw the young guy in there, and I think

533
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:09,000
he'll probably have a decent year, much better than in Chicago.

534
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:10,000
Yeah.

535
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:17,000
But he might crack like the 10th best or 11th best with some luck.

536
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,000
Yeah.

537
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:23,000
So I give it to the Steelers about the same score.

538
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,000
Yeah.

539
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:36,000
I'm going to go 23-14, and that's because I think Kurt Cousin will will a couple of touchdowns

540
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,000
out, not that he's like that great.

541
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:39,000
Yeah.

542
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,000
I just think it's the first game of the season.

543
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:47,000
He's in a new team, and I think he's going to do his damndest to try to show something.

544
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:52,000
And this first game of the season is the one that every team has had the longest to prepare

545
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:53,000
for.

546
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:54,000
Yes.

547
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:59,000
This is the longest they'll have all season to prepare for a team, the whole offseason.

548
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,000
Yeah.

549
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,000
Yeah.

550
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,000
These are the games that nothing works out at first.

551
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,000
Yeah.

552
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,000
Until they get a little creative and crafty, and then things start flowing.

553
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,000
Yeah.

554
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,000
So it's just like the Thursday night game.

555
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,000
I think that that's going to be low score until about the third quarter.

556
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:17,000
And then I think both teams are going to ramp it up and figure some stuff out.

557
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,000
Yeah.

558
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:25,000
Anyhow, the next Sunday game, the Cardinals versus the Bills up there in Buffalo.

559
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:32,000
I'm going to go Buffalo there.

560
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:33,000
Yeah.

561
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:38,000
The Cardinals, yeah, they have good pieces.

562
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:43,000
They've got decent players on both sides of the line.

563
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:47,000
But they just can't consistently put things together.

564
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:53,000
I don't have confidence in the Cardinals mounting a game-winning drive late in the game.

565
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:57,000
It's just I don't see them as a complete team yet.

566
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:04,000
Buffalo, I think, has a decided advantage there, and I can see Buffalo putting some

567
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:11,000
points up on them, like 30 to 17.

568
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,000
Okay.

569
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,000
I think the Cardinals can get, like you said, two touchdowns and a field goal.

570
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:23,000
Maybe one of those touchdowns on special teams for defense.

571
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:27,000
You're not going to believe this, but I'm actually picking an upset.

572
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,000
I think the Bills are deflated.

573
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,000
They're a team in transition.

574
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,000
Stephon Diggs left.

575
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:40,000
He was having tussles with Josh Allen, the quarterback.

576
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,000
A lot of key elements left.

577
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:47,000
There is disarray in that locker room, and I think it's still that.

578
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,000
They have a bunch of unproven people.

579
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:55,000
Let's face it, the game up in Buffalo, the divisional title game, they flatlined.

580
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,000
They completely flatlined that game.

581
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:02,000
Now, some of it was the Chiefs defense, which was excellent, but they had no spark.

582
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:08,000
I remember watching and thinking, man, this isn't the Bills team that I expected to see.

583
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,000
No, it hasn't been.

584
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:17,000
They have not been the same since they were at Arrowhead, the famous 13 seconds game.

585
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,000
I don't think that's what broke them.

586
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,000
I think what broke them was themselves.

587
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:29,000
I think the people's personalities didn't match, and I think that, what's his name, McDermott, right?

588
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:36,000
McDermott, I think he's a good coach, but not a good enough coach to squelch that.

589
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:43,000
I still think that there's a lot of flux, and people just not knowing really what's going on or who's on the same page.

590
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:48,000
So I'm going to say very low scoring. I'm going to go, this is going to be a snoozer of a game.

591
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,000
It's going to be 17 to 10.

592
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,000
Wow, that will be a snoozer.

593
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,000
That's my upset of the week, my prediction.

594
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,000
I wouldn't suggest anyone betting on it.

595
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:03,000
Don't bet the way I say it. This is just my own gut feeling.

596
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:09,000
I remember there was a game last season between, I think it was the Raiders and the Vikings.

597
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,000
Final score was 3-0.

598
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,000
I remember that nothing game.

599
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:18,000
That field goal didn't happen until the fourth quarter.

600
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:23,000
Denver had a game like that the year before with Russell Wilson.

601
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:29,000
It was going into overtime like nothing, nothing, but someone scored like 3-0.

602
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,000
How embarrassing.

603
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:36,000
I watched that whole game just out of shock.

604
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,000
I was like, jeez, what happened?

605
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:44,000
It's almost like you have to try harder to not score in an entire game.

606
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:48,000
It's just like going 0-16 is harder than going 16-0.

607
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,000
Pretty much, yeah.

608
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:53,000
Someone locks themselves, backs themselves into a win somewhere.

609
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,000
Some team gives you a win somehow.

610
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,000
So, you know, anyhow.

611
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:02,000
So, all right, we're differing on that.

612
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:08,000
All right, the next one is another Sunday game and that is the Titans against the Bears.

613
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:12,000
Oh, cool.

614
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:16,000
I think the Bears are going to do it.

615
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:21,000
I didn't have any high hopes for the Titans this season.

616
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:27,000
They kind of don't have much of an identity in my mind anyway.

617
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:32,000
Bears, I think, are excited and they're pretty stoked.

618
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:37,000
They're more stoked about Caleb Williams than they were about Justin Fields when they drafted him.

619
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:42,000
And way more than when they drafted Trubisky.

620
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,000
You know they're still kicking themselves in the ass every day they wake up.

621
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,000
They're going, we should have done it.

622
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:49,000
Think about that.

623
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,000
The Bears, they passed on Mahomes.

624
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,000
They drafted Trubisky, who's gone.

625
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,000
They drafted Fields, who's gone.

626
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:03,000
And still the organization and the fan base is excited about yet another drafted quarterback.

627
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,000
That's pretty amazing.

628
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,000
It is.

629
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,000
I think Caleb Williams can be very good.

630
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,000
I think he's a little bit different in this case.

631
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,000
But we are looking at the graveyard of quarterbacks.

632
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:18,000
Yeah, hopefully he can break that curse.

633
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:19,000
Who was it?

634
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,000
Was it Mahomes who broke the Madden curse?

635
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,000
Yes, yeah, he was on the cover of Madden and still won.

636
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:32,000
So I can see Caleb Williams breaking the Chicago Bears curse on quarterbacks.

637
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:39,000
I'm going to say the quarterbacks are going to go and embarrass the Titans.

638
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:40,000
28-3.

639
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:41,000
Oh!

640
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:42,000
Geez.

641
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,000
I'm going to say 28-3.

642
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,000
Okay.

643
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:51,000
I'm getting more hopes on the Bears defense than I am.

644
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,000
I think the Titans are going to be good enough to score more than three,

645
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:57,000
but I think the Bears defense is going to rise to the challenge.

646
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:58,000
Okay, you've got to score, what did you say?

647
00:31:58,000 --> 00:31:59,000
28-3.

648
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,000
28-3, okay.

649
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:05,000
I'm going to say that this game is very close and it's a toss-up.

650
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,000
And here's why.

651
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:11,000
Titans defense is really good this year.

652
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:12,000
That's true, that's true.

653
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,000
Really good.

654
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,000
He's a brand new quarterback.

655
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:19,000
I think they're going to do some things that are going to surprise him.

656
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:20,000
Yeah.

657
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,000
And I think there's going to be a lot of trickery.

658
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,000
That would be the smart play.

659
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,000
Yeah, you have Caleb Williams.

660
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:32,000
Okay, so you could probably do some things you couldn't do on a seasoned guy.

661
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,000
Yeah, yeah.

662
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:38,000
I mean, how does he act towards a real pass rush?

663
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,000
How about the sneak?

664
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,000
You know, how about the disguised blitz?

665
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:49,000
Yeah, for all intents and purposes, Caleb Williams has never really played in anything

666
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,000
but high school and college football.

667
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,000
His preseason really doesn't count.

668
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,000
Yeah, I still think he's going to be good.

669
00:32:55,000 --> 00:33:00,000
But I think this game, he could be overmatched because, you know,

670
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,000
Jerry Snead is shutting down one side.

671
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:03,000
We know this.

672
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,000
He's really good at making sure you don't score touchdowns on his side of the field.

673
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,000
Yes.

674
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,000
And I don't know if Caleb Williams has that savvy yet to go,

675
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,000
okay, I don't have it there so I'm going to try it here.

676
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,000
Good point, good point.

677
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,000
He's probably going to throw into a few interceptions early.

678
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:20,000
I think so too.

679
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:21,000
Yeah.

680
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,000
So I give the Titans a slight edge.

681
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:27,000
And I think this game here is going to be like 23-21.

682
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:28,000
Wow.

683
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:29,000
Just like that.

684
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:30,000
That'd be cool.

685
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,000
That'd be more exciting to watch than my version.

686
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:36,000
Yeah, well, I mean, look, let's face it, either one could happen.

687
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,000
Either one could happen.

688
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,000
Like if Caleb Williams comes out, first thing he does is fumble

689
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,000
or throw an interception in the first...

690
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,000
And then he's second-guessing himself all game long.

691
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,000
Yeah, he's losing that game.

692
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:51,000
He may not lose the war, but he's going to lose that battle.

693
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:52,000
Yeah.

694
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,000
So, I mean, am I right?

695
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:55,000
Who knows?

696
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:56,000
We'll find out Sunday.

697
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,000
Yeah.

698
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,000
All right, the next one is another Sunday game.

699
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,000
And all these are 12 p.m., by the way.

700
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:03,000
This is central time.

701
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:04,000
Okay.

702
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,000
Okay.

703
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:06,000
Early games.

704
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,000
Yes, because this should be out before all the games come out.

705
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,000
I'm going to try to get it out really quick.

706
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,000
I'm going to expedite it so we have our picks in there.

707
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,000
So not like anyone will follow our advice.

708
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:18,000
Yeah.

709
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:19,000
I mean, if they're smart, they don't.

710
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,000
No, no.

711
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,000
If you are going to bet on this, go to Kansas.

712
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:23,000
Yes, yeah.

713
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,000
Yeah, go on the south side of State Line.

714
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:26,000
You can bet there.

715
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:27,000
Yeah.

716
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:28,000
It's proven.

717
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:29,000
I did it.

718
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,000
You go on the north side.

719
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,000
While someone else is driving, so don't get silly there, okay?

720
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,000
Whoever's out there going, oh, you did that?

721
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:37,000
No.

722
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:41,000
Val was driving, and we went up to Andy's Ice Cream, you know?

723
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:42,000
Got us an ice cream.

724
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:43,000
That's north.

725
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,000
Went back south to where we live.

726
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:47,000
That's south.

727
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,000
On the way there, it wouldn't do it.

728
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:50,000
It wouldn't do it on the way back.

729
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,000
They have it that precise.

730
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,000
GPS has really come a long way.

731
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:55,000
It's kind of scary.

732
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,000
It's like, shit, they know right here.

733
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,000
They probably know within a millimeter where I'm at.

734
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,000
That's something else.

735
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:09,000
All right, the next one is the Patri-Rots against the Bungles.

736
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:15,000
Okay.

737
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,000
I can't think of the history between those two teams.

738
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,000
I don't remember seeing a lot of games between them.

739
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,000
No, the Patriots were already dead and gone.

740
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:28,000
I mean, the Bungles kind of rised up about the time Tom Brady went to Tampa.

741
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,000
Yeah, you're right.

742
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,000
That's when they started getting good.

743
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:35,000
So they never really had to fight each other for the conference.

744
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:36,000
No.

745
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,000
Yeah.

746
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:41,000
It's always pretty much been, I mean, the Browns have given them more competition.

747
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:42,000
Yeah.

748
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:46,000
Who else is in that league, in that conference?

749
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:47,000
Steelers.

750
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:48,000
The Steelers.

751
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:49,000
Ravens.

752
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:53,000
Yeah, the Ravens, of course, have been giving them a lot of competition.

753
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:54,000
Yeah.

754
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,000
So.

755
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,000
I think the Bungles are a more complete team.

756
00:35:58,000 --> 00:35:59,000
They're more a polished team.

757
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:03,000
They've got their plan in place and they've got it going.

758
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:08,000
Whereas the Patriots are still trying to put their car together before they can get it out on the road.

759
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,000
Yeah.

760
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:16,000
Is Matt Jones still the starter or do you know?

761
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:17,000
Brissette.

762
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:18,000
Oh, Brissette.

763
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:19,000
Jacoby Brissette?

764
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:20,000
Yeah.

765
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:21,000
Well, he came from there.

766
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:22,000
He is Tom Brady's backup.

767
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:23,000
Isn't Brissette there?

768
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,000
Brissette was at the Colts for a while.

769
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:26,000
Yeah, yeah.

770
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,000
He was at some other team, too.

771
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,000
He kind of bounced around a little bit.

772
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,000
Coincidentally, their backup Zappie is with us.

773
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:34,000
He's on the practice squad.

774
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:35,000
Yeah.

775
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,000
Funny.

776
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:37,000
Yeah.

777
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,000
OK.

778
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:42,000
But yeah, I remember seeing a crawl at the bottom of the screen saying Brissette was named head starter.

779
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:43,000
OK.

780
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,000
So he beat out Matt Jones.

781
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:47,000
Yeah.

782
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:48,000
OK.

783
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:52,000
Well, since you said Brissette, I mean it's going to be a little bit more of a game, I think.

784
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,000
But anyhow, go ahead with yours.

785
00:36:55,000 --> 00:37:03,000
The Patriots give me the impression of a team that's going to be finding ways to lose for at least part of the season.

786
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:06,000
And I think this first game they're going to lose.

787
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,000
And they're going to look pretty bad doing it.

788
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,000
Yeah.

789
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,000
I think the score won't really reflect it.

790
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:16,000
I've been looking at something like 24-17.

791
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:21,000
But I think the Bengals are going to be ahead for the majority of the game.

792
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,000
Yeah.

793
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:27,000
Then the Pats will get a garbage-type touchdown, something like that.

794
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,000
Yeah, in the last two minutes when they're...

795
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:34,000
Now, the Bengals have the ability to put up two more scores if they felt like it.

796
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,000
So their score could get higher.

797
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:38,000
But I think...

798
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:42,000
Yeah, this is going to be a rough one to predict the score in because it just depends on so many...

799
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:46,000
I mean, they're going to protect Burrow with everything in their might.

800
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,000
So if they're ahead that much, he's coming out.

801
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,000
That's why I'm thinking of the lower scorers.

802
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:55,000
Once they get ahead and they're pretty sure that they're going to stay ahead, they're going to get conservative.

803
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,000
They're going to go max protect.

804
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:58,000
Yeah.

805
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,000
As you said, pull them out in the last 10 minutes in the game.

806
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,000
And how good is his arm?

807
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:06,000
Now, I mean, that was a pretty bad injury.

808
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,000
I saw him trying to throw on the sideline.

809
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,000
I'm like, uh-oh.

810
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,000
I mean, the ball, he couldn't even grip the ball.

811
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:16,000
It just kept going, boom, off of his hand.

812
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:20,000
I know he's young, but how does that affect you?

813
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,000
Psychologically, probably more than anything else.

814
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:24,000
I would agree.

815
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:30,000
As long as he's got the feeling back, he can probably adapt pretty quickly.

816
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:35,000
And I'm sure they all use human growth hormone to ramp up their healing rate.

817
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:36,000
Oh, I bet.

818
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:37,000
I bet anything they do.

819
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:38,000
Yeah.

820
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:51,000
Another thing is I think that Joe Burrow should be used more conservatively anyhow,

821
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:55,000
because I think that they leave him out there too long.

822
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,000
They need to design an offense.

823
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,000
This is what I think, but he's the head coach, you know.

824
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:03,000
But I think that they need to dink and dunk more and get him away from danger.

825
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:08,000
I wonder how much of their game plan is tailored towards,

826
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:13,000
let's get everyone excited about this passing offense so we can get on TV more,

827
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,000
sell more season tickets, blah, blah.

828
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:16,000
All of the above.

829
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:17,000
Yeah.

830
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:22,000
I mean, it's not – I don't think it's unreasonable at all that a team would say,

831
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:26,000
as long as we got this quarterback, let's just, you know, use the wow factor,

832
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:30,000
increase our bottom line, just throw, you know, score 40, 50 points a game,

833
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:33,000
throw all over the place.

834
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:38,000
But this season they're probably much better off using the running game a lot more

835
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:43,000
and throwing shorter passes and not being as spectacular and exciting,

836
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:47,000
but just winning more games and having your players healthier at the end of the season.

837
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,000
And also, Mixon is gone.

838
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,000
Yeah.

839
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,000
Do they have anyone who's going to be really stepping in

840
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,000
and being their go-to running back?

841
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,000
They might have drafted one, I'm not sure.

842
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:58,000
I don't have to look that up.

843
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,000
We'll have to see if it's going to be running back by committee,

844
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,000
which, you know, kind of works anymore.

845
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:04,000
That's what everybody pretty much does.

846
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:05,000
Yeah.

847
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:09,000
I mean, I'm pretty sure Carson Steele is going to have a good little –

848
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,000
you know, it's going to be the check-ups, it's going to be number one,

849
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:15,000
but I think Steele is going to be a pretty solid number two with maybe,

850
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,000
I don't know, eight, 10 carries.

851
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:18,000
That's what I was thinking.

852
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:25,000
He'll probably get somewhere around 10 or less, 10 or fewer per game,

853
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:29,000
but he'll end the season with more yards than you think.

854
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:30,000
Yes, I think so, too.

855
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,000
He'll end the season and go, wow, he ran that many yards?

856
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,000
I think he's over under about 500 yards.

857
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:39,000
Yeah, and I think he's going to score a lot of touchdowns,

858
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:40,000
a lot of short-yardage touchdowns.

859
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,000
Yes, and then when the postseason comes,

860
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:48,000
he's not going to score as many touchdowns because they're going to trick people.

861
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:49,000
He's going to be the decoy.

862
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:53,000
You have to identify him, you have to say, that guy right there, stop him.

863
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,000
You have to put all your might in the middle,

864
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,000
and if you don't do that, he's getting in anyhow.

865
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,000
But if you do do that, someone's free in the backfield.

866
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:05,000
It is the perfect, perfect component to them.

867
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:12,000
There's a play, a not uncommon play, where you fake it to the halfback

868
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:15,000
and then flip it out to the fullback.

869
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,000
That's a great, yeah, you could see something like that going on.

870
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,000
I could see that going very well.

871
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:24,000
You really make another team's defense really look stupid, foolish,

872
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:29,000
just like they're unprepared, sloppy, and really it wasn't their fault at all.

873
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,000
It's just like how you guard against that.

874
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,000
And then you can do the opposite of the play if they're keying on steel.

875
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:38,000
You fake it to him and flip it out to the flat where Hardman

876
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:42,000
or Juju Smith-Houster is standing and grab the ball and run in.

877
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:47,000
Well, like I said on the last one, that's how the Chiefs won the Super Bowl.

878
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:52,000
They were going to not let Pacheco in so much, and they let Hardman in the corner.

879
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,000
Yeah, he was going to stand in there waiting for the ball.

880
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,000
It was a great sell by the Chiefs, too.

881
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:02,000
It was a great sell because, I mean, I was flinching to the left.

882
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,000
I was like, okay, Pacheco's going to get it.

883
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,000
I'm like, hey, wait a minute.

884
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:11,000
Whoever's calling these plays is doing a really good job of figuring out

885
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:15,000
the right time to call the play that they've been setting up all game long.

886
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:18,000
It's worked out really well recently.

887
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:23,000
And I could tell, as soon as that happened, they flinched.

888
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,000
And then the Homes was getting ready to throw it without turning.

889
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,000
I was like, we won this game.

890
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,000
Nobody's near him. We won this game.

891
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,000
Yeah, just you could see it.

892
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,000
It's like this. We've seen it before.

893
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,000
We've seen that exact kind of set up.

894
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:37,000
It's like, oh, yeah, he's got it.

895
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:42,000
Yeah, they faked so hard that everybody is like going to the middle.

896
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:45,000
And no.

897
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:49,000
Okay, anyhow, let's get back to Patriots, Bengals.

898
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:57,000
That was the one where I was saying that the Bengals are going to be like 24-17

899
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:00,000
because they're going to only score in as much as they have to.

900
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:04,000
And the Patriots would get a garbage time touchdown late.

901
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:14,000
I'm going to go 24-13.

902
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:20,000
I think Jacobi Brissette is going to be outmatched because of the personnel there.

903
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,000
When he did good, he had a pretty solid team around him.

904
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:26,000
I'm not convinced the Patriots are anything much at all.

905
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:31,000
No, no, they're really going to have to show us before I think they're going to get any credibility.

906
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:35,000
Yeah, so we both think that the Bengals are going to win.

907
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:41,000
But I'm not so convinced about Burroughs' arm.

908
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:46,000
Is it going to be back or is it going to take a few weeks?

909
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:50,000
Yeah, the test isn't going to be the first one he throws deep,

910
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,000
but the third or fourth one he throws deep.

911
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:53,000
I agree.

912
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:57,000
Is it anywhere near the receiver? Is it arriving with any authority?

913
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,000
Or is he losing it?

914
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:03,000
Does the first throw kind of use up his arm for the day?

915
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:06,000
That's a great way of looking at it, actually.

916
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:13,000
I mean, is he going to be just mousing it at first, being scared?

917
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:18,000
With his personality, I could see them wanting to get a deep haul early.

918
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:19,000
I could too.

919
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:20,000
And make a statement.

920
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,000
He's going to pound his chest.

921
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:27,000
Hey, look, hit chase in the corner, 50-yard touchdown.

922
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:34,000
And there's something to be said for making the defense start respecting the bomb right off the bat.

923
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,000
There is. It stretches the field.

924
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:39,000
You stretch the field and you've got the advantage.

925
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:45,000
Because you have all these different places that you can go to once you stretch the field like that.

926
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:53,000
I'm remembering the Oakland Raiders of the 1960s when they had Darrell LaMonica as quarterback.

927
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,000
Oh, God, I forgot all about him.

928
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,000
He was nicknamed the mad bomber.

929
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:02,000
Because their whole offensive plan was they would just run the ball right up the middle.

930
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:07,000
Run, run, run, run, and just pound you with the ground game.

931
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:13,000
And once you started committing to stopping the run, he would throw a 60-yard pass over everyone's head.

932
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:18,000
To a speedy receiver like Baletnikov or whoever.

933
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:25,000
I can't remember. Yeah, he was a very interesting quarterback because other than that, it was kind of a mess.

934
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:31,000
Yeah, yeah, that was the days when a 50% completion rating was okay.

935
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:35,000
Because all of your passes were like for 40 or 50 yards.

936
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:38,000
Yeah, and the rest was run, run, run.

937
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,000
I mean, it used to be a running league.

938
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:42,000
Now it is a passing league.

939
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,000
And if you have a running game, you're going to lose.

940
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,000
I mean, for the most part.

941
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:51,000
I mean, they did pretty good with Tannehill and Henry over there in the Titans.

942
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,000
They had a pretty balanced offense.

943
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:58,000
And they had enough of a running game with Henry to where Tannehill could be successful.

944
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,000
Took a lot of pressure off of him.

945
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:05,000
But other than that team right there, I think there's been a whole lot of teams being able to do that.

946
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,000
Smashmouth type of a...

947
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:11,000
The Chiefs tried it for a while with Okoye and Barry Ward.

948
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,000
Yeah, and it worked in the 90s.

949
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:16,000
I mean, it worked, but not enough to propel you.

950
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:20,000
You have to have that guy that can just take the game on his back.

951
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:24,000
And another thing that I've been saying forever, pinpoint passes.

952
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,000
He has to be deadly accurate.

953
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:30,000
That's the difference between Alex Smith and Patrick Mahomes.

954
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:32,000
Alex Smith had a good arm.

955
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:34,000
Mahomes has a great arm.

956
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:36,000
Alex Smith could pinpoint it and get you close.

957
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:41,000
But he couldn't hit someone in the breadbasket on a dead run at the five yard line.

958
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:47,000
He couldn't do that pass that only the receiver can get.

959
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:48,000
Yeah, yeah.

960
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,000
And that's what a lot of quarterbacks...

961
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:56,000
To me, that's one of the biggest things between a good quarterback, a really good quarterback, and a great quarterback.

962
00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:00,000
Is the ability to hit someone in the breadbasket on a dead run.

963
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:04,000
That timing and that perfection only comes from a certain amount of people.

964
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:05,000
And that's it.

965
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:13,000
Yeah, just finally attuned to your own physical abilities and how things feel.

966
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:17,000
And paying attention to the physical part of throwing the football.

967
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:20,000
Consistency in absolutely everything.

968
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:24,000
And that's what is going to get you that accuracy.

969
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:32,000
And some players just don't really pay attention as much as they need to in order to be that precise.

970
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:33,000
But Mahomes has that gift.

971
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:37,000
Yeah, and also another thing is this right here.

972
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:41,000
They have to constantly guard against all points.

973
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:42,000
Yeah.

974
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:48,000
You know, Alex Smith was good to win 11 games, maybe 12 games on a really good year.

975
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:50,000
I'm not dogging him, fantastic person.

976
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:53,000
The reason Mahomes is what he is today is because of Alex Smith.

977
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,000
I mean a chunk of it.

978
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:56,000
Yeah.

979
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:59,000
But they didn't respect his long pass.

980
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:00,000
No.

981
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:03,000
So they could guard against that and they knew it had to be something in the middle.

982
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:08,000
They knew it had to be something like a tight end type of situation or something like that.

983
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:11,000
Yeah, if you only have to put one person back deep.

984
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:12,000
Yeah.

985
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:16,000
That gives you a lot more coverage in the shorter areas.

986
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:22,000
And the only time it really bites you in the ass, you know, even the long passes, you still got that guy deep.

987
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:23,000
Yeah.

988
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,000
To back up.

989
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:30,000
But the only time it really bites you in the ass is if like a runner or short pass really breaks it.

990
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:31,000
Yeah.

991
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:34,000
And your deep guy is on the other side of the field and can't catch up.

992
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:45,000
Well, you know, the last year when we traded Alex Smith, he had coincidentally the same way over in San Francisco.

993
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:47,000
He had the best rating that he'd ever had.

994
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,000
He had like a 103.1.

995
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:53,000
I think he had a 102 or a 101.2 or something like that.

996
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,000
Passer rating here.

997
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:58,000
And I think he was number one with that.

998
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:00,000
And I think he might have been number two with yards.

999
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,000
But here's where the yards came from.

1000
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:05,000
He didn't pinpoint those bullets, you know, those long bombs.

1001
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:06,000
Tyreek broke.

1002
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:07,000
Yes.

1003
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:11,000
Tyreek broke and he was relatively new and he was killing people with that.

1004
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:17,000
And so he'd throw the football 15 yards.

1005
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:19,000
Tyreek would pick up 20 more.

1006
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:20,000
Yeah.

1007
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:23,000
And he would inflate it in stats and same way with Kelsey too in the middle.

1008
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:26,000
Kelsey would break three or four tackles.

1009
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,000
And usually doubling.

1010
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:29,000
Yeah.

1011
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:30,000
The distance that Alex threw it.

1012
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:31,000
Yeah.

1013
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:36,000
So that made Alex Smith, people are going, you're trading this guy?

1014
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:37,000
It's deceptive.

1015
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:38,000
Yeah, it is.

1016
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:39,000
Yeah.

1017
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:43,000
Oh, there are a lot of people saying, well, that's the end of their run.

1018
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:47,000
And there are a lot of people saying Alex Smith wasn't going to do shit either.

1019
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:48,000
No.

1020
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:51,000
He was a respectable quarterback everywhere he went.

1021
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:54,000
Well, Reid allowed him to use his intelligence.

1022
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:55,000
Yeah.

1023
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:59,000
He didn't try to stifle what he does best.

1024
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:02,000
He said, do it.

1025
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:03,000
This is what we're running.

1026
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:04,000
Do it.

1027
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:05,000
He didn't get in his way.

1028
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:06,000
Yeah.

1029
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:07,000
So, all right.

1030
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:15,000
So the next one we got is the Texans at the Colts.

1031
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:20,000
You're going to have to go with the Texans here.

1032
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:28,000
They're primed and ready to believe, have a good season, build on last year, division

1033
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,000
rival to start the season.

1034
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:31,000
Yeah.

1035
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:37,000
And going into the Colts dome and trashing is probably something that they really want

1036
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:38,000
to do.

1037
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:39,000
Yeah.

1038
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:40,000
Who is the Colts quarterback?

1039
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:41,000
Oh, God.

1040
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:46,000
Is this what, Mayo?

1041
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:50,000
It might be, here, let me see here.

1042
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:52,000
Good Lord.

1043
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:57,000
I used to memorize all this stuff every season, but I guess I just don't care that much anymore.

1044
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:58,000
No, me too.

1045
00:50:58,000 --> 00:50:59,000
Me too.

1046
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,000
And also, I didn't have the time to either.

1047
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:05,000
And you know, it's partly because that information is so readily available.

1048
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:08,000
You don't need to memorize it.

1049
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:16,000
So, who is the 2020-2024 Colts starting quarterback?

1050
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:20,000
Sam Ethlinger and Anthony Richardson.

1051
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:23,000
So, Mayo might not even be there anymore.

1052
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:24,000
Yeah.

1053
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:25,000
Okay.

1054
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:26,000
No, I don't think so.

1055
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:29,000
Colts Anthony Richardson to be youngest starting quarterback in 2024.

1056
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:30,000
Okay.

1057
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:31,000
So, there you go.

1058
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:32,000
All right.

1059
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:36,000
So, that makes it even more likely that the Texans are going to go in and just ruin their

1060
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:37,000
home opener.

1061
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,000
The Texans also have a really good defense.

1062
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:41,000
Yeah, they do.

1063
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,000
Yeah, I think, go ahead with yours.

1064
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:48,000
It's going to be hard for the Colts to score.

1065
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:49,000
Yep.

1066
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:56,000
And I'm going to say the Texans are going to hit their stride third and fourth quarter

1067
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,000
and start racking up points.

1068
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:02,000
Because that's important for a team at this stage in their development is to go out and

1069
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:07,000
have some dominant wins like that so coach isn't going to hold back.

1070
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:15,000
So, this is going to be high scoring like 35-10, maybe 38-10.

1071
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:18,000
I think that's pretty correct.

1072
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:22,000
Okay, CJ Stroud has Stefan Diggs.

1073
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:24,000
That's insane.

1074
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:26,000
Yeah.

1075
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,000
That was like my home to cheetah.

1076
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:29,000
Yes.

1077
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:30,000
Yeah.

1078
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:32,000
What the hell?

1079
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:34,000
Are you sure this is fair?

1080
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:36,000
Yeah, yeah.

1081
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:37,000
It's the same thing.

1082
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:38,000
It is.

1083
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:47,000
So, CJ Stroud, if he picks up like he did before, Diggs might lead in yards at the end of the

1084
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:52,000
season and CJ is going to have a very high passer rating and stats.

1085
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:53,000
Yeah.

1086
00:52:53,000 --> 00:53:00,000
But to me right now, as I see it, I think the real competition, don't get me wrong,

1087
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:02,000
the Bengals are probably going to be solid.

1088
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:05,000
They may not be as good as years in the past, but they're going to be solid.

1089
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:08,000
The Bills, I think, are going to take a step or two back.

1090
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:10,000
Yeah, that's looking likely.

1091
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,000
But Baltimore is solid.

1092
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:17,000
There'll be a surprise team in there somewhere and I think they're not so much a surprise

1093
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:18,000
team if you watched last year.

1094
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:19,000
Yeah.

1095
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:24,000
I think the Texans might be the one to challenge the Chiefs for a home-filled advantage.

1096
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:26,000
Yeah, yeah.

1097
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:28,000
Don't discount Cleveland.

1098
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,000
No, Cleveland, I agree with you.

1099
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:31,000
Cleveland too.

1100
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:32,000
They've still got a lot of good pieces.

1101
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:37,000
It's going to depend on Deshaun Watson keeping his head in the game.

1102
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:41,000
That's the biggest issue right there.

1103
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:44,000
To me, you know what, we'll get to them and we'll talk about them.

1104
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:45,000
Yeah.

1105
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:46,000
So, okay.

1106
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,000
So, I picked a high scoring game.

1107
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:50,000
I picked a high scoring game too, but Texans.

1108
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:54,000
I think the Colts are going to be good to rattle out 13 points at the most.

1109
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:55,000
Yeah.

1110
00:53:55,000 --> 00:54:00,000
I think the Colts are going to have 13 and I think that probably the Texans are going

1111
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:04,000
to have maybe 32.

1112
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:06,000
I think they'll take CJ out.

1113
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:07,000
Oh, yeah?

1114
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:08,000
Yeah.

1115
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:09,000
They fool it.

1116
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:15,000
Man, it's tough to pull your starting quarterback in game one unless he's hurt, fragile, like

1117
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:16,000
Joe Burrow.

1118
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:17,000
I think it's a whole new era.

1119
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:18,000
Yeah.

1120
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:21,000
Everyone's looking at Burrow and going, we're not doing that.

1121
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:22,000
Well, true.

1122
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:24,000
And CJ Stroud is a really nice kid.

1123
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:27,000
I think he'd be like, okay, I understand.

1124
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:29,000
No problem.

1125
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:30,000
Yeah.

1126
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:34,000
I don't think he has the clout like a Mahomes going, no, I'm staying in.

1127
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,000
When Reid's telling him to come out, he's like, no, I'm staying in.

1128
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:39,000
He doesn't have that kind of clout, at least not yet.

1129
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:42,000
When we get to the Jets and Aaron Rodgers, we can revisit that.

1130
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:43,000
Yes.

1131
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:44,000
To that point.

1132
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:45,000
Yes, we can.

1133
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:46,000
Yes, we can.

1134
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:48,000
I think you're thinking the same thing I am.

1135
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,000
Yes, yes.

1136
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:51,000
Yeah.

1137
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:56,000
And they play San Fran, I think, too, which is even going to be cooler.

1138
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:58,000
Oh my gosh.

1139
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:03,000
This opening day and Thursday is fantastic lineups.

1140
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:05,000
I got to give it to the NFL.

1141
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:07,000
Their schedule maker really did a good job.

1142
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:09,000
Yeah, he amped it up.

1143
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:14,000
All right, the next one is the Jags against the Fins.

1144
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:18,000
The Dolphins, if you don't know, but if you listen to this podcast, you're probably a sports fan.

1145
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:21,000
Yeah, yeah.

1146
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:23,000
Gosh.

1147
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:26,000
I'm going to have to go Dolphins here.

1148
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:32,000
I think they're going to, I picked them to have a strong season.

1149
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:34,000
Close game.

1150
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:35,000
I'm going to say.

1151
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:37,000
Hey, you want to talk?

1152
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:38,000
Come on over, come on.

1153
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:42,000
Yeah, yeah, any of you, any of you guys want to say anything?

1154
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:43,000
Come on over.

1155
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:49,000
We're just talking about the slate of games this season, this opening weekend, and who's going to win?

1156
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:51,000
Oh, the Chiefs obviously.

1157
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:54,000
Yeah, the Chiefs, yeah.

1158
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:56,000
All right, you got anything?

1159
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:59,000
It doesn't matter whether it's sports or not, we're an open book.

1160
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:03,000
If you want to say anything, go ahead, we don't, you know.

1161
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:06,000
I don't know, just be happy, have a good day.

1162
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:07,000
All right.

1163
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:12,000
What do you think about sports gambling on one side of the state line and then legal weed on the other side?

1164
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:17,000
Legal weed on the other side of the state line?

1165
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:21,000
To be honest, I don't like it, but obviously I can't do anything about it.

1166
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:23,000
It is kind of weird, you know.

1167
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:25,000
It's a sinner's dream.

1168
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:28,000
Weird because people just go to the other side and do it.

1169
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:37,000
Yeah, and law enforcement on both sides that says we're not going to bother trying to bust people coming from the other side of the state line because it's a waste of time.

1170
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:40,000
Well, we went near the dispensary on state line.

1171
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:44,000
We went against state line and that thing has more Johnson County plates than Missouri plates.

1172
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:45,000
Yes, yes.

1173
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:46,000
It's not good.

1174
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:47,000
It's not good.

1175
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,000
It's not good.

1176
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:51,000
Yeah, I mean, yeah, here's the way I see it.

1177
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:52,000
It's a sinner's dream.

1178
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:57,000
They go get their weed and then they go to Kansas, start placing bets, stung.

1179
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:58,000
Yeah.

1180
00:56:58,000 --> 00:56:59,000
There we go.

1181
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:01,000
Now, then all they need is a pizza.

1182
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:02,000
Or that's good.

1183
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:03,000
Yeah.

1184
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:08,000
And then we don't pay attention to what the politicians are doing because we're all high and betting on football.

1185
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:10,000
Yeah, yeah.

1186
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:11,000
Yeah.

1187
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:13,000
Have a good day.

1188
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:14,000
Thank you.

1189
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:15,000
Thanks for joining in.

1190
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:16,000
Thanks for stopping by.

1191
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:17,000
That was great.

1192
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:18,000
It was.

1193
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:20,000
We always get good stuff out of people, don't we?

1194
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:21,000
Yes.

1195
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:23,000
We should ask them their pick against the Jags, against the Dolphins.

1196
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:24,000
Oh, that's true.

1197
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:28,000
They probably wouldn't know, but it's always fun just to go, well, I like the Dolphins' uniforms better.

1198
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:29,000
Yeah.

1199
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:30,000
It's always fun.

1200
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:33,000
And it's surprising how many times that works out.

1201
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:34,000
Yeah.

1202
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:41,000
There was a plot line in a TV show where a woman was picking the winners of the football

1203
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:44,000
games by the strength of their state animal.

1204
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:48,000
You see, I love that.

1205
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:50,000
I would go on board with that.

1206
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:52,000
I would go on board with that league.

1207
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:56,000
And if it was a tie, then she'd go with the state flower.

1208
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:59,000
I mean, the arrowhead would serve really good.

1209
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,000
The arrowhead could kill about anything, right?

1210
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:02,000
Yeah.

1211
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:03,000
Yeah.

1212
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:04,000
So who is the Missouri state animal?

1213
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:05,000
Oh, the state animal.

1214
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:06,000
I was thinking about that.

1215
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:07,000
Sorry.

1216
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:08,000
Completely screwed that one up.

1217
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:09,000
A bear.

1218
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:11,000
I think it's a bear, even though it shouldn't be a bear.

1219
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:12,000
It's on our flag.

1220
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:13,000
Yeah.

1221
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:14,000
I think it's a bear.

1222
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:17,000
And the reason is, Southern Missouri has a lot of black bears.

1223
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:18,000
It does.

1224
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:19,000
Yeah.

1225
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:21,000
If you see one, you've probably got 500.

1226
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:22,000
Yes.

1227
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:24,000
And they're really good at hiding.

1228
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:26,000
And they're docile.

1229
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:30,000
You see a black bear, you don't necessarily have to get the hell out of there.

1230
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:33,000
Don't piss them off, because they can climb trees better than you can.

1231
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:34,000
Yes.

1232
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:35,000
And people think that too.

1233
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:36,000
They're like, I'll climb up this tree.

1234
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:37,000
No.

1235
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:38,000
Then you're a sitting duck.

1236
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:39,000
Yes.

1237
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:40,000
Yeah.

1238
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:44,000
That bear turns around, looks at the camera and goes, these people are stupid, aren't they?

1239
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:47,000
He turns back.

1240
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:50,000
You need to really read some National Geographic.

1241
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:53,000
Oh, let's see.

1242
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:59,000
Well, in honor of my late Uncle Mike, who was a Lifetime Dolphins fan, I'm going to

1243
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:02,000
go lean towards the Dolphins this season.

1244
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:06,000
Oh yeah, you picked him to actually win the division.

1245
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:07,000
Yeah.

1246
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:14,000
I think the Dolphins are going to keep it pretty close with the Jags and vice versa.

1247
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:22,000
And then Tunga Wailoa, I have practice saying his name.

1248
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:24,000
Let's just call him TV.

1249
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:25,000
Yeah.

1250
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:31,000
I think he's going to throw some late touchdowns and win going away.

1251
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:34,000
But it'll be a pretty good matchup for the whole game.

1252
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:39,000
But when it's crunch time, I think Miami is going to pull it out.

1253
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:40,000
Okay.

1254
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:43,000
Do you have a...

1255
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:44,000
Oh.

1256
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:52,000
I'm going to go with 30 to 13.

1257
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:53,000
Okay.

1258
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:59,000
I think the Dolphins are going to pull it out, but I think it's going to be really hard.

1259
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:01,000
I think it's going to be a nut-tucker.

1260
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:02,000
Yeah.

1261
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:04,000
The question I was going to ask is this right here.

1262
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:05,000
Okay.

1263
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:09,000
Is Doug Peterson still the coach for the Jags?

1264
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:10,000
Didn't he go there?

1265
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:11,000
I believe so, yeah.

1266
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:12,000
Okay.

1267
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:16,000
Doug Peterson is really good at coming up with schemes.

1268
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:23,000
I think, I mean, look at him in Philadelphia, what he did in Philadelphia.

1269
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:24,000
Yeah?

1270
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:25,000
Yeah.

1271
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:26,000
True?

1272
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:27,000
Yeah.

1273
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:28,000
He contained the Patriots good enough to win.

1274
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:29,000
Where is it?

1275
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:30,000
Is that a helicopter?

1276
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:31,000
I don't know where it is.

1277
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:32,000
Oh, no.

1278
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:33,000
It's a truck right there.

1279
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:34,000
Oh, okay.

1280
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:35,000
I was going to say, there's low rumble.

1281
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:43,000
It's like a helicopter or we're having an earthquake or something.

1282
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:44,000
I think this is...

1283
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:45,000
Semi-live podcasting is what you get.

1284
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:46,000
Yeah.

1285
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:49,000
You get this two days later, but it's live.

1286
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:50,000
Yes.

1287
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:51,000
We're live.

1288
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:54,000
I remember when we first did the first podcast and everyone was trying to call in.

1289
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:57,000
It's like, oh, no, this is two days ago.

1290
01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:59,000
You said you were live.

1291
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:01,000
Hey, we're live when we're sitting here.

1292
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:02,000
That's what I said.

1293
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:03,000
I said we're live here.

1294
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:04,800
Right now, we're live.

1295
01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:12,000
Or it's like the strip pubs where they say live girls, like what, as opposed to dead

1296
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:13,000
ones?

1297
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:18,400
You know what, if it's named Spanky's and it's down near Reed Springs, they might pull

1298
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:20,720
that off down there.

1299
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:24,000
I've already spoke about it on the regular podcast.

1300
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:25,000
Spanky's.

1301
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:27,000
Amputee, botch boob job.

1302
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:30,000
Oh, there's a market for that.

1303
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:31,000
Meth face.

1304
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:32,000
Oh, no.

1305
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:34,160
There's definitely a market for just pretty anything.

1306
01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:38,480
It was the only strip club where I had to like back up and try to slowly get out of

1307
01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:40,200
there because they're all trying to bring you in.

1308
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:43,200
Like, come on in, sugar.

1309
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:45,200
Well, yeah, well, it's warm.

1310
01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:46,200
Come on in here.

1311
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:47,200
Here, here.

1312
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:48,200
Let me see your lap.

1313
01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:50,200
No, I'd rather eat a bullet right now.

1314
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:51,200
Yeah.

1315
01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:54,200
I think it should be a rule.

1316
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:58,200
If you're not allowed to touch the stripper, then the stripper's not allowed to touch you

1317
01:01:58,200 --> 01:01:59,200
either.

1318
01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:00,200
That's right.

1319
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:03,200
Well, I think they had a lot of people turn around and running by their reaction.

1320
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:04,200
Like, oh, no, no, come on back.

1321
01:02:04,200 --> 01:02:05,200
Hey, hey, you want to talk?

1322
01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:06,200
Oh, yeah.

1323
01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:07,200
Yeah.

1324
01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:08,200
Come on.

1325
01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:09,200
OK.

1326
01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:10,960
Hey, good morning, Kansas City.

1327
01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:12,200
It's a beautiful day out there.

1328
01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:13,200
It is.

1329
01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:17,440
And I just want to say hello to all my kiddos on bus 124.

1330
01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:18,440
I love you.

1331
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:19,440
All right.

1332
01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:20,440
We love bus 124, too.

1333
01:02:20,440 --> 01:02:21,440
North Kansas City School District.

1334
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:22,440
All right.

1335
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:23,440
Cool.

1336
01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:24,440
Thank you.

1337
01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:25,440
Have a nice day.

1338
01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:26,440
All right.

1339
01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:27,440
You, too.

1340
01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:28,440
What about the Chiefs?

1341
01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:29,440
You got anything on the Chiefs you want to say?

1342
01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:30,440
Yeah, they're short.

1343
01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:31,440
Don't listen to him, OK?

1344
01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:32,440
OK.

1345
01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:33,440
He's horrible.

1346
01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:34,440
OK.

1347
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:35,440
When does he have a baby?

1348
01:02:35,440 --> 01:02:39,440
He's horrible.

1349
01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:40,440
OK.

1350
01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:41,440
When does he have it?

1351
01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:42,440
I can do this year.

1352
01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:43,440
Oh, the Chiefs?

1353
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:44,440
Yeah.

1354
01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:45,440
Oh, the Three-Fer.

1355
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:46,440
Yeah, the Three-Fer.

1356
01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:47,440
Definitely.

1357
01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:48,440
They're headed that way.

1358
01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:49,440
No doubt, man.

1359
01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:50,440
I have every faith in the team and coachery.

1360
01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:51,440
All right.

1361
01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:52,440
Who's their main competition this year?

1362
01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:53,440
Who are they going to see in the championship game?

1363
01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:54,440
Holy moly.

1364
01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:55,440
It hasn't been much because of the things.

1365
01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:56,440
I'm thinking the Eagles.

1366
01:02:56,440 --> 01:02:57,440
Oh, no, no.

1367
01:02:57,440 --> 01:02:58,440
That'd be the Super Bowl.

1368
01:02:58,440 --> 01:02:59,440
Oh, OK.

1369
01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:00,440
OK.

1370
01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:01,440
I'm sorry.

1371
01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:02,440
Yeah, the Conference Championship.

1372
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:03,440
That's what you're thinking.

1373
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:04,440
Yeah.

1374
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:05,440
The Conference Championship.

1375
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:06,440
That's what you picked.

1376
01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:07,440
What?

1377
01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:08,440
No.

1378
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:09,440
I don't know.

1379
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:10,440
Oh, no, you didn't.

1380
01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:11,440
I'm waiting to see how the Broncos are going to do against them.

1381
01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:12,440
Oh, OK.

1382
01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:13,440
That's what I want to see.

1383
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:14,440
Well, they're really high.

1384
01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:15,440
He's looking to see if they're in there.

1385
01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:16,440
They're not there.

1386
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:19,440
I picked the Chiefs and the Lions in the Super Bowl.

1387
01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:20,440
Oh, there you go.

1388
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:21,440
That was it.

1389
01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:22,440
There you go.

1390
01:03:22,440 --> 01:03:23,440
You know what?

1391
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:24,440
You know what?

1392
01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:25,440
That would be an interesting.

1393
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:26,440
Yep.

1394
01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:27,440
Who else would be interesting would be?

1395
01:03:27,440 --> 01:03:28,440
Come on, man.

1396
01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:29,440
The Vikings.

1397
01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:30,440
The Vikings.

1398
01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:31,440
The Vikings.

1399
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:32,440
The Vikings.

1400
01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:35,440
The Vikings, maybe?

1401
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:36,440
No, that would be interesting.

1402
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:41,440
What would be interesting would be Carolina against, let me think here, what's another

1403
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:42,440
ass bag?

1404
01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:43,440
You're in trouble now.

1405
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:44,440
Let's see, Carolina against.

1406
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:47,440
Who's the bottom feeder of the AFC?

1407
01:03:47,440 --> 01:03:48,440
Oh, gosh.

1408
01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:49,440
Oh, New England.

1409
01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:50,440
New England.

1410
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:51,440
There we go.

1411
01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:52,440
Yeah.

1412
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:53,440
That would be really interesting.

1413
01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:54,440
As long as they don't have to play the balls, they'll be fine.

1414
01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:55,440
No more Tom Brady, dude.

1415
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:56,440
Oh, no, they'll just be filming.

1416
01:03:56,440 --> 01:03:57,440
There you go.

1417
01:03:57,440 --> 01:03:58,440
Oh, OK.

1418
01:03:58,440 --> 01:03:59,440
That's what we're filming.

1419
01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:00,440
That's what we're filming.

1420
01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:01,440
That's what we're filming.

1421
01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:02,440
It's good, though, because pretty much in history, the Lions have been the underdog.

1422
01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:03,440
You know, they really have.

1423
01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:04,440
That would be a good game.

1424
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:05,440
They should have been there last year.

1425
01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:06,440
The Browns as well.

1426
01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:07,440
The Browns, yeah.

1427
01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:08,440
They're going to have a solid year.

1428
01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:09,440
Yeah, they definitely are.

1429
01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:10,440
It's going to be an interesting year to see who's going to walk over who.

1430
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:11,440
I'm looking forward to it.

1431
01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:12,440
We might do it.

1432
01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:13,440
Have a good day, you guys.

1433
01:04:13,440 --> 01:04:14,440
Thank you so much.

1434
01:04:14,440 --> 01:04:15,440
Thanks for stopping by.

1435
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:16,440
Yeah, thank you.

1436
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:17,440
All righty.

1437
01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:18,440
It never fails.

1438
01:04:18,440 --> 01:04:19,440
We get the most interesting people.

1439
01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:36,120
Everybody who stops by has always had something fun or interesting to talk about.

1440
01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:37,120
We've never had a dud.

1441
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:38,120
No, we never have.

1442
01:04:38,120 --> 01:04:39,120
We wind up looking like the duds.

1443
01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:43,720
Yeah, they're like, man, I wish those two would shut up and no one else talk.

1444
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:46,720
We should just turn the podcast over to them and walk away.

1445
01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:47,720
Here we go.

1446
01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:48,720
Thank you.

1447
01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:49,720
Thank you.

1448
01:04:49,720 --> 01:04:53,720
And I'm sure most people are thinking on the other end.

1449
01:04:53,720 --> 01:04:56,720
Yeah, they're thinking, why did I download this garbage?

1450
01:04:56,720 --> 01:04:57,720
Yep.

1451
01:04:57,720 --> 01:05:03,000
What I love doing now, and I've been doing this quite a while, is reading hate mail.

1452
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:04,000
It's awesome.

1453
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:05,000
It's awesome.

1454
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:06,520
I swear.

1455
01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:07,520
That sounds like fun.

1456
01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:08,520
Yeah, I encourage them.

1457
01:05:08,520 --> 01:05:10,520
I say, if you hate me, write me.

1458
01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:11,520
Yeah.

1459
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:14,440
So anyhow, I think it's great.

1460
01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:15,440
I love it.

1461
01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:16,440
I think it's great.

1462
01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:18,440
I would rather read hate mail than love mail.

1463
01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:19,440
Definitely.

1464
01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:20,440
Because love mail is like, oh, you're great.

1465
01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:21,440
Keep it up.

1466
01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:24,840
Hate mail is like, you know, you did this, you did this, and you said that.

1467
01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:26,200
It's way more interesting.

1468
01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:27,200
Yeah, way more interesting.

1469
01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:28,200
Yeah.

1470
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:29,200
Okay.

1471
01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:32,200
I forgot what game we were talking about.

1472
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:33,200
Jaguars.

1473
01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:34,200
Jaguars, that's it.

1474
01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:35,200
The Jags against the Dolphins.

1475
01:05:35,200 --> 01:05:37,520
I think the Jags are going to give them a hell of a fight because they're going to pass

1476
01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:38,520
rush.

1477
01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:39,520
They're going to disguise blitz.

1478
01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:44,440
They're going to have people covered, but you're going to have Tyreek Hill and Waddle.

1479
01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:45,440
Yeah.

1480
01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:49,080
And that's going to be the factor that propels them over.

1481
01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:51,160
But I don't think it's going to be as easy as it looks.

1482
01:05:51,160 --> 01:05:52,160
Yeah.

1483
01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:56,160
I think it's going to be like 28 to 24.

1484
01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:57,160
Yeah.

1485
01:05:57,160 --> 01:06:04,040
And the reason I think that is because I think that the Jags are poised to maybe have a decent

1486
01:06:04,040 --> 01:06:05,040
year again.

1487
01:06:05,040 --> 01:06:06,040
Yeah.

1488
01:06:06,040 --> 01:06:08,440
And I think they have a bone to pick with Miami anyhow.

1489
01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:09,440
Yeah, true.

1490
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:15,640
And I think that Doug Peterson, it is an even number year.

1491
01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:16,640
Yeah.

1492
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:17,640
So he'll be good.

1493
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:18,640
Oh, funny.

1494
01:06:18,640 --> 01:06:19,640
Yeah.

1495
01:06:19,640 --> 01:06:20,640
Yeah.

1496
01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:21,640
There is that about him.

1497
01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:22,640
Yeah.

1498
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:23,640
Some reason.

1499
01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:24,640
Yeah.

1500
01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:25,640
Yeah.

1501
01:06:25,640 --> 01:06:26,640
So we go to the next one.

1502
01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:28,640
The Panthers versus the Saints.

1503
01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:29,640
Oh, gosh.

1504
01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:30,640
Okay.

1505
01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:31,640
Yeah.

1506
01:06:31,640 --> 01:06:32,640
Okay.

1507
01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:33,640
We'll go to the next.

1508
01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:34,640
No.

1509
01:06:34,640 --> 01:06:38,080
Man, Panthers are going to struggle to win anything this year and they're going to look

1510
01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:39,880
bad every game.

1511
01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:46,880
And they're going to have 15,000 people in their home stadium and their stadium is going

1512
01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:48,320
to claim it's a sellout again.

1513
01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:49,800
Just like they lied last year.

1514
01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:51,920
I like Derek Carr as a quarterback anyhow.

1515
01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:52,920
Yeah.

1516
01:06:52,920 --> 01:06:54,840
Derek Carr is a pretty good quarterback.

1517
01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:57,520
I'd rate him over Kirk Cousins.

1518
01:06:57,520 --> 01:07:01,240
There was somebody else the Saints picked up just this past off season.

1519
01:07:01,240 --> 01:07:04,080
Oh, who was it?

1520
01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:05,640
Is Honey Badger still there?

1521
01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:06,640
Yeah.

1522
01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:07,640
Yeah.

1523
01:07:07,640 --> 01:07:08,640
Matthew's still there.

1524
01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:09,640
Yeah.

1525
01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:11,880
Because he just made a comment about Mahomes.

1526
01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:12,880
It wasn't bad.

1527
01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:13,880
He's never motherfuckin'.

1528
01:07:13,880 --> 01:07:14,880
No.

1529
01:07:14,880 --> 01:07:15,880
He's a classy guy.

1530
01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:18,400
He just made a comment and I'm pretty sure he was in his Saints uniform.

1531
01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:19,400
Yeah.

1532
01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:20,400
Yeah.

1533
01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:22,120
He gave him a good compliment.

1534
01:07:22,120 --> 01:07:25,640
I think it's about the three-peat and he said something like, if anyone's going to do it,

1535
01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:26,640
it's going to be him.

1536
01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:27,640
Yeah.

1537
01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:28,640
It sounds like it.

1538
01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:29,640
Yeah.

1539
01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:30,640
So.

1540
01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:32,640
So I think the Saints are going to have a walk in the park against the Panthers.

1541
01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:33,640
Yeah.

1542
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:38,200
The Panthers are going to look like a genius and everything's going to work on the Saints

1543
01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:43,960
side of the ball and the Panthers are going to look like what they are, which is a business

1544
01:07:43,960 --> 01:07:46,520
that is pretending to be a football team.

1545
01:07:46,520 --> 01:07:47,520
Yes.

1546
01:07:47,520 --> 01:07:48,680
100%.

1547
01:07:48,680 --> 01:07:50,840
They remind me of the Chiefs in the 80s.

1548
01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:51,840
Yeah.

1549
01:07:51,840 --> 01:07:55,400
From about 75 till about 85 or 86.

1550
01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:56,400
Flat line.

1551
01:07:56,400 --> 01:07:57,400
Yeah.

1552
01:07:57,400 --> 01:08:02,480
When Jack Stedman was in charge of the Chiefs, he ran it just to make sure they made a profit

1553
01:08:02,480 --> 01:08:03,920
each year and that was all they cared about.

1554
01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:05,400
And that was all he gave a shit about.

1555
01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:06,400
Yeah.

1556
01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:08,960
And in between, he was making horrible draft pick choices.

1557
01:08:08,960 --> 01:08:12,560
And you know, back then, the revenue stream wasn't all that great.

1558
01:08:12,560 --> 01:08:15,000
So that was a decent business model.

1559
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:16,200
No, it was.

1560
01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:20,520
But now there is so much more money to be made with a successful team.

1561
01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:27,200
Not only with the team, the individual players have more value for marketing and merchandise.

1562
01:08:27,200 --> 01:08:33,800
It's just winning is now the very profitable thing to do, whereas before it was like, all

1563
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:36,400
you have to do is have a team and you're making money.

1564
01:08:36,400 --> 01:08:37,400
Yeah.

1565
01:08:37,400 --> 01:08:39,560
Here's what I think happened with Stedman.

1566
01:08:39,560 --> 01:08:40,560
Yeah.

1567
01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:44,200
First Fuller, he went for Fuller instead of Elway, was it?

1568
01:08:44,200 --> 01:08:45,920
Or Marino?

1569
01:08:45,920 --> 01:08:46,920
Black Ledge.

1570
01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:47,920
Black Ledge, okay.

1571
01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:49,160
He got Black Ledge instead of Marino.

1572
01:08:49,160 --> 01:08:50,160
Yeah, okay.

1573
01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:52,600
First he went Steve Fuller, complete bust.

1574
01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:53,600
Yeah.

1575
01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:57,120
Then he went Todd Black, Black Ledge, complete bust.

1576
01:08:57,120 --> 01:09:00,040
I think after that he was like, don't scare me.

1577
01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:02,320
Yeah, yeah, I can't hit it right anyhow.

1578
01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:06,760
So he settled for Bill Kenny, who he picked up in a later round and actually did a decent

1579
01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:07,760
job.

1580
01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:11,480
I mean, for that bad of a team, he was okay.

1581
01:09:11,480 --> 01:09:17,600
The Chiefs didn't draft a quarterback in the first round between Black Ledge and Mahomes?

1582
01:09:17,600 --> 01:09:18,600
No, I know.

1583
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:19,600
Not one.

1584
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:20,600
They were afraid to.

1585
01:09:20,600 --> 01:09:21,600
Yeah.

1586
01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:26,320
Well, Marty Schottenheimer was always in these rehab projects, which never served him well.

1587
01:09:26,320 --> 01:09:29,360
He would get like Matt Blunden in the sixth round.

1588
01:09:29,360 --> 01:09:33,440
And then he would go and trade for a Montana or a Gerback.

1589
01:09:33,440 --> 01:09:39,640
Schottenheimer's the mentality of patch it up, good enough to get going again, whereas

1590
01:09:39,640 --> 01:09:43,720
the better choice would be let's fix it right so it's better next time.

1591
01:09:43,720 --> 01:09:49,840
Yeah, he was more interested to me on paper than he was actual like, let's go ahead and

1592
01:09:49,840 --> 01:09:52,120
just tank.

1593
01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:54,240
I really like these two guys coming out of college.

1594
01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:57,760
I'm pretty sure we'd be able to get one of them.

1595
01:09:57,760 --> 01:10:02,840
I don't think he had any faith in his draft, him or Peterson's drafting ability to draft

1596
01:10:02,840 --> 01:10:03,840
a quarterback.

1597
01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:08,360
No, all the better players that they are high on were the ones they got from other teams.

1598
01:10:08,360 --> 01:10:09,360
Yeah.

1599
01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:13,960
And I would like to say one thing on Schottenheimer and Peterson's defense.

1600
01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:17,360
Montana was going to go to the Super Bowl until he got sandwiched in Buffalo.

1601
01:10:17,360 --> 01:10:18,360
Yes.

1602
01:10:18,360 --> 01:10:19,360
And he got knocked out of the game.

1603
01:10:19,360 --> 01:10:24,600
And the old fumble-fuck Dave Craig came in and fumbled the ball and all different kinds

1604
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:25,600
of stupid shit.

1605
01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:26,600
Yep.

1606
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:27,600
Yep.

1607
01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:29,600
Small hands Dave Craig.

1608
01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:30,600
Yes.

1609
01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:34,000
He's the guy that Derrick Thomas sacked seven times in the game.

1610
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:35,840
And almost got the eighth one.

1611
01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:36,840
I know.

1612
01:10:36,840 --> 01:10:39,600
That eighth one he could have got real easily.

1613
01:10:39,600 --> 01:10:42,720
And that would have won us the game too, instead of being lost.

1614
01:10:42,720 --> 01:10:43,720
I know.

1615
01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:44,720
It sucked.

1616
01:10:44,720 --> 01:10:48,120
Yeah, we were about the only team that had one guy who had seven sacks on the quarterback

1617
01:10:48,120 --> 01:10:49,520
and they still lost.

1618
01:10:49,520 --> 01:10:50,520
Yeah.

1619
01:10:50,520 --> 01:10:51,520
So, anyhow.

1620
01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:52,960
And Dave Craig was a good quarterback.

1621
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:57,040
He just wasn't good enough to win a championship game.

1622
01:10:57,040 --> 01:11:00,520
Yeah, he was the quintessential game manager quarterback.

1623
01:11:00,520 --> 01:11:01,520
Yeah.

1624
01:11:01,520 --> 01:11:03,760
The guy who's not going to lose the game for you.

1625
01:11:03,760 --> 01:11:04,760
Yeah.

1626
01:11:04,760 --> 01:11:07,360
Montana had them all psyched up and you could see it.

1627
01:11:07,360 --> 01:11:08,360
Yeah.

1628
01:11:08,360 --> 01:11:09,840
As soon as he went out of the game you could see it on their face.

1629
01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:10,840
Popped the balloon.

1630
01:11:10,840 --> 01:11:11,840
Yeah.

1631
01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:12,840
Popped the balloon and it's done.

1632
01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:13,840
Yeah.

1633
01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:17,920
So, was that Thomas and Smith that sandwiched him?

1634
01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:19,880
I think so, yeah.

1635
01:11:19,880 --> 01:11:20,880
Was it Thurman Thomas?

1636
01:11:20,880 --> 01:11:23,880
No, he was on, Thurman Thomas was the body bag.

1637
01:11:23,880 --> 01:11:24,880
Oh, he was on, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1638
01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:26,880
It was Bruce Smith and who else was there?

1639
01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:28,440
Bruce Smith and I thought the other guys were.

1640
01:11:28,440 --> 01:11:30,440
Ryan Cox was there for a while.

1641
01:11:30,440 --> 01:11:31,440
Yeah.

1642
01:11:31,440 --> 01:11:32,440
Oh, well, anyhow.

1643
01:11:32,440 --> 01:11:34,200
Yeah, that sandwich did him in.

1644
01:11:34,200 --> 01:11:37,480
I'm going to pick the Saints over the Panthers too and I'm going to pick them big.

1645
01:11:37,480 --> 01:11:44,000
I'm going to say like 35 to, I'm going to give them 17.

1646
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:46,640
And I think one's going to be a garbage touchdown at the very late.

1647
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:47,640
Yeah.

1648
01:11:47,640 --> 01:11:48,640
17.

1649
01:11:48,640 --> 01:11:55,040
Okay, the next one we have is the Minnesota Vikings against the New York Giants.

1650
01:11:55,040 --> 01:11:56,040
Huh.

1651
01:11:56,040 --> 01:12:00,360
All right, well, let's see, the next one, no.

1652
01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:09,000
Well, you know, if the Vikings have any chance to win their opening game it'd be the Giants

1653
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:10,960
who are in a little bit of a disarray.

1654
01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:13,640
I still think the Giants are going to be able to beat the Vikings.

1655
01:12:13,640 --> 01:12:19,360
The Vikings seem to have Justin Jefferson and that's about it.

1656
01:12:19,360 --> 01:12:20,360
Yeah.

1657
01:12:20,360 --> 01:12:25,520
You know, their running game's okay, but they keep trading away their good running

1658
01:12:25,520 --> 01:12:26,520
backs.

1659
01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:27,520
Yeah.

1660
01:12:27,520 --> 01:12:32,760
I can't really think of anything exciting to say about the Vikings' defense.

1661
01:12:32,760 --> 01:12:34,760
No, no.

1662
01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:38,520
I can see the Giants winning this in a boring game.

1663
01:12:38,520 --> 01:12:43,440
You know, something like 2017.

1664
01:12:43,440 --> 01:12:44,440
Yeah.

1665
01:12:44,440 --> 01:12:48,120
I really have nothing else except that.

1666
01:12:48,120 --> 01:12:49,120
I agree.

1667
01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:54,800
I forgot the quarterback for the Panthers, the draft pick.

1668
01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:59,960
Oh, well, you know what, anyhow.

1669
01:12:59,960 --> 01:13:02,840
That game is going to be kind of like the flyover state for the weekend.

1670
01:13:02,840 --> 01:13:03,840
Yes.

1671
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:06,040
That's the game that everyone goes and does yard work on.

1672
01:13:06,040 --> 01:13:07,040
Yeah.

1673
01:13:07,040 --> 01:13:09,040
Like, man, it's 72.

1674
01:13:09,040 --> 01:13:11,920
Oh, wait, let's check football.

1675
01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:14,560
Man, that yard looks nice.

1676
01:13:14,560 --> 01:13:16,920
I'm going to place a bed on it and then turn the TV off.

1677
01:13:16,920 --> 01:13:21,840
Yeah, and then I'm going to go outside and I'm going to mow the lawn.

1678
01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:25,440
Next one is an interesting one.

1679
01:13:25,440 --> 01:13:29,000
Raiders versus Chargers.

1680
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:30,160
I like this matchup.

1681
01:13:30,160 --> 01:13:31,160
I do too.

1682
01:13:31,160 --> 01:13:38,240
You know, I don't have much hope for the Raiders or the Chargers this year, but AFC West rivals,

1683
01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:42,520
they're going to get pretty stamped up for that.

1684
01:13:42,520 --> 01:13:43,520
Yeah.

1685
01:13:43,520 --> 01:13:44,520
Yeah.

1686
01:13:44,520 --> 01:13:45,520
The Raiders have a really good defense.

1687
01:13:45,520 --> 01:13:49,080
Do you think they can harass Herbert enough to?

1688
01:13:49,080 --> 01:13:50,080
Yeah.

1689
01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:52,880
I think Max Crosby is feeling good this year.

1690
01:13:52,880 --> 01:13:55,560
Gosh, yeah, that guy's a one-man wrecking crew.

1691
01:13:55,560 --> 01:13:56,560
He is.

1692
01:13:56,560 --> 01:13:57,560
Yeah.

1693
01:13:57,560 --> 01:14:05,320
I think Max Crosby is going to have a good game against the Chargers.

1694
01:14:05,320 --> 01:14:12,200
And God, I never even did figure out who the Raiders quarterback is this season because

1695
01:14:12,200 --> 01:14:13,200
Garoppolo is going.

1696
01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:14,200
Hang on.

1697
01:14:14,200 --> 01:14:15,200
Yeah.

1698
01:14:15,200 --> 01:14:18,480
Yeah, they dumped him at the end of last year and he went to the Rams.

1699
01:14:18,480 --> 01:14:19,480
Yeah.

1700
01:14:19,480 --> 01:14:25,920
I think they're really disappointed in him, how he performed and constantly getting injured.

1701
01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:26,920
Yeah.

1702
01:14:26,920 --> 01:14:30,400
And I think that the whole league is like went away from Garoppolo.

1703
01:14:30,400 --> 01:14:31,400
Yeah.

1704
01:14:31,400 --> 01:14:37,200
I mean, they had chances at the Super Bowl against the Chiefs, the first one that Garoppolo

1705
01:14:37,200 --> 01:14:38,200
was in.

1706
01:14:38,200 --> 01:14:41,080
They had chances to win that game, but he could not get it done with his arm.

1707
01:14:41,080 --> 01:14:48,160
And I think people are just like, he's an okay quarterback, but he just can't.

1708
01:14:48,160 --> 01:14:49,160
Let's see here.

1709
01:14:49,160 --> 01:14:53,280
Ah, Gardner, Minshew, Nathan Peterman, and Aiden O'Connell.

1710
01:14:53,280 --> 01:14:55,760
Hmm, okay.

1711
01:14:55,760 --> 01:14:58,600
So if they're going to start Minshew, I think he can have a decent game.

1712
01:14:58,600 --> 01:15:01,920
He can get the ball to Devontae Adams often enough.

1713
01:15:01,920 --> 01:15:04,160
Yeah, go ahead.

1714
01:15:04,160 --> 01:15:07,160
I think the Raiders could do it.

1715
01:15:07,160 --> 01:15:10,160
Score?

1716
01:15:10,160 --> 01:15:16,040
30-13.

1717
01:15:16,040 --> 01:15:22,560
That only gives the Chargers one touchdown or two touchdowns and a missed extra point.

1718
01:15:22,560 --> 01:15:27,760
O'Connell was the Raiders quarterback last year, right?

1719
01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:30,800
When Garoppolo went down, I think it was O'Connell or whatever.

1720
01:15:30,800 --> 01:15:31,800
I think it was.

1721
01:15:31,800 --> 01:15:32,800
I think it was there last year, yeah.

1722
01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:33,800
He wasn't very good.

1723
01:15:33,800 --> 01:15:36,840
Gardner Minshew is good.

1724
01:15:36,840 --> 01:15:38,240
He's very intriguing, though.

1725
01:15:38,240 --> 01:15:39,240
He's a bridge player.

1726
01:15:39,240 --> 01:15:43,680
He's not like your franchise or long-term guy, but he's there until the good guy comes.

1727
01:15:43,680 --> 01:15:46,720
He's a, um, shit, man.

1728
01:15:46,720 --> 01:15:50,200
He's kind of like, uh, I can't think of his name, man.

1729
01:15:50,200 --> 01:15:51,200
Damn it.

1730
01:15:51,200 --> 01:15:52,200
I can't think of anything this morning.

1731
01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:53,200
It's driving me nuts.

1732
01:15:53,200 --> 01:15:54,200
Anyhow.

1733
01:15:54,200 --> 01:16:09,480
Raiders over the Chargers, I think it's going to be probably 24-13, just because it's a

1734
01:16:09,480 --> 01:16:10,480
division game.

1735
01:16:10,480 --> 01:16:11,480
Yeah.

1736
01:16:11,480 --> 01:16:12,480
Yeah, so.

1737
01:16:12,480 --> 01:16:15,880
Yeah, that sounds more realistic than my 30-13.

1738
01:16:15,880 --> 01:16:16,880
Fitzpatrick.

1739
01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:17,880
Yeah.

1740
01:16:17,880 --> 01:16:20,640
Minshew reminds me of another Ryan Fitzpatrick.

1741
01:16:20,640 --> 01:16:21,640
Yeah.

1742
01:16:21,640 --> 01:16:28,320
He's a guy that's good and can win some games, but forget about, you know, anything else.

1743
01:16:28,320 --> 01:16:29,320
Yeah.

1744
01:16:29,320 --> 01:16:30,320
Yeah.

1745
01:16:30,320 --> 01:16:31,800
I never really felt comfortable with Fitzpatrick.

1746
01:16:31,800 --> 01:16:36,240
You know, whatever team he was on, it was like, oh, wow, he played well, but.

1747
01:16:36,240 --> 01:16:37,240
Fitzmagic.

1748
01:16:37,240 --> 01:16:38,240
Yeah.

1749
01:16:38,240 --> 01:16:41,480
He won the game against the Patriots with a horrible team as a Dolphins.

1750
01:16:41,480 --> 01:16:42,480
That's right.

1751
01:16:42,480 --> 01:16:43,480
Yeah.

1752
01:16:43,480 --> 01:16:47,640
It propelled us to the game being here, the championship game being here.

1753
01:16:47,640 --> 01:16:49,320
I remember that now.

1754
01:16:49,320 --> 01:16:54,520
People were sending him thank you notes and cards.

1755
01:16:54,520 --> 01:16:56,720
I'm pretty sure New England was doing the opposite.

1756
01:16:56,720 --> 01:16:57,720
Yes.

1757
01:16:57,720 --> 01:16:58,720
Yeah.

1758
01:16:58,720 --> 01:17:00,720
Probably sending him little boxes of defecation.

1759
01:17:00,720 --> 01:17:03,720
Here you go.

1760
01:17:03,720 --> 01:17:04,720
Yeah.

1761
01:17:04,720 --> 01:17:07,440
And it's not illegal to mail defecation.

1762
01:17:07,440 --> 01:17:12,640
I remember delivering an envelope with a little dead mouse in it.

1763
01:17:12,640 --> 01:17:13,640
What?

1764
01:17:13,640 --> 01:17:16,400
Was it for a biological study or was it?

1765
01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:21,440
This woman came out and said somebody just keeps mailing me these things and she brought

1766
01:17:21,440 --> 01:17:23,440
out three different envelopes, that dead mice in.

1767
01:17:23,440 --> 01:17:26,440
They're all dried up.

1768
01:17:26,440 --> 01:17:31,120
I would look at her and go, who did you fuck?

1769
01:17:31,120 --> 01:17:32,120
Just be honest.

1770
01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:33,120
Yeah.

1771
01:17:33,120 --> 01:17:34,120
Just be honest.

1772
01:17:34,120 --> 01:17:35,120
This is a woman's corn thing.

1773
01:17:35,120 --> 01:17:36,120
Just be honest.

1774
01:17:36,120 --> 01:17:42,720
That's like, was it fatal attraction where they boiled the rabbit?

1775
01:17:42,720 --> 01:17:43,720
Oh yeah.

1776
01:17:43,720 --> 01:17:44,720
Something like that.

1777
01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:46,600
That's kind of like that level.

1778
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:47,600
Yeah.

1779
01:17:47,600 --> 01:17:48,600
That's like psychotic shit.

1780
01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:51,520
What can I do to really piss them off?

1781
01:17:51,520 --> 01:17:55,720
Then they look down and they hear a snap and they see the mouse.

1782
01:17:55,720 --> 01:17:56,720
Oh.

1783
01:17:56,720 --> 01:18:00,640
They took the time to dry them because they weighed nothing.

1784
01:18:00,640 --> 01:18:01,640
They dried them?

1785
01:18:01,640 --> 01:18:02,640
They dried them.

1786
01:18:02,640 --> 01:18:07,640
I bet you that woman disappeared, didn't you?

1787
01:18:07,640 --> 01:18:09,400
It wasn't my regular route.

1788
01:18:09,400 --> 01:18:11,960
So I did it every once in a while.

1789
01:18:11,960 --> 01:18:13,640
That psychopath probably went and got her.

1790
01:18:13,640 --> 01:18:17,280
I remember delivering one of those lumpy, bumpy envelopes and wondering, what the hell's

1791
01:18:17,280 --> 01:18:18,280
in here?

1792
01:18:18,280 --> 01:18:19,280
Oh, okay.

1793
01:18:19,280 --> 01:18:20,280
It's Mickey.

1794
01:18:20,280 --> 01:18:21,280
Hey, look, Stuart.

1795
01:18:21,280 --> 01:18:22,280
Oh, geez.

1796
01:18:22,280 --> 01:18:23,280
We're wrecking childhoods.

1797
01:18:23,280 --> 01:18:24,280
It's all right.

1798
01:18:24,280 --> 01:18:25,280
Yes.

1799
01:18:25,280 --> 01:18:26,280
Yes.

1800
01:18:26,280 --> 01:18:37,280
Well, they're not supposed to be listening to this.

1801
01:18:37,280 --> 01:18:39,360
I put a split sit down on Elton.

1802
01:18:39,360 --> 01:18:43,200
So if you're letting your kid listen to this, you're bad.

1803
01:18:43,200 --> 01:18:44,200
All righty.

1804
01:18:44,200 --> 01:18:49,280
And especially if you're a really cool MILF, you need a spanking.

1805
01:18:49,280 --> 01:18:51,320
All right.

1806
01:18:51,320 --> 01:18:53,120
I'm glad Val doesn't listen.

1807
01:18:53,120 --> 01:18:55,960
She does not listen to our FILF.

1808
01:18:55,960 --> 01:18:57,560
The MILF I was talking about was her.

1809
01:18:57,560 --> 01:18:58,560
Yeah.

1810
01:18:58,560 --> 01:19:01,320
See, my wife and I don't have any grandkids yet.

1811
01:19:01,320 --> 01:19:03,400
So technically she's still a MILF.

1812
01:19:03,400 --> 01:19:04,400
Oh, okay.

1813
01:19:04,400 --> 01:19:05,400
Wait a minute.

1814
01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:07,400
Val would be a GILF.

1815
01:19:07,400 --> 01:19:08,400
GILF, yeah.

1816
01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:09,400
All right.

1817
01:19:09,400 --> 01:19:10,400
I got to change everything to a GILF.

1818
01:19:10,400 --> 01:19:11,400
Yeah.

1819
01:19:11,400 --> 01:19:12,400
All right.

1820
01:19:12,400 --> 01:19:15,560
Next one, Broncos versus Seahawks.

1821
01:19:15,560 --> 01:19:16,560
This is an interesting game.

1822
01:19:16,560 --> 01:19:17,560
Yeah.

1823
01:19:17,560 --> 01:19:25,280
The question is, they didn't hire within the Seahawks.

1824
01:19:25,280 --> 01:19:29,360
Pete Carroll wanted to hire one of his assistants really bad because he thought the guy was

1825
01:19:29,360 --> 01:19:30,360
ready to make the leap.

1826
01:19:30,360 --> 01:19:31,360
Yeah.

1827
01:19:31,360 --> 01:19:34,420
They hired a guy from college, did they?

1828
01:19:34,420 --> 01:19:36,000
Like they did with Pete Carroll?

1829
01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:37,000
Yeah.

1830
01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:40,600
I'm blanking on that.

1831
01:19:40,600 --> 01:19:42,320
I didn't recognize the name.

1832
01:19:42,320 --> 01:19:43,320
I didn't either.

1833
01:19:43,320 --> 01:19:44,320
When they announced it.

1834
01:19:44,320 --> 01:19:45,320
I didn't either.

1835
01:19:45,320 --> 01:19:50,880
It's somebody they guess had their eye on, but it was recommended to them.

1836
01:19:50,880 --> 01:19:51,880
Pretty unknown.

1837
01:19:51,880 --> 01:19:53,960
We know a little bit about the Broncos, so go ahead.

1838
01:19:53,960 --> 01:20:01,120
I see the Broncos having a good game against the Seahawks.

1839
01:20:01,120 --> 01:20:05,400
Seahawks is another one of those teams that seem to have all the parts, but they just

1840
01:20:05,400 --> 01:20:07,960
can't consistently get it done.

1841
01:20:07,960 --> 01:20:10,160
Who's their quarterback now?

1842
01:20:10,160 --> 01:20:11,960
It's still Geno Smith.

1843
01:20:11,960 --> 01:20:12,960
I think it is.

1844
01:20:12,960 --> 01:20:16,160
I didn't know if the new regime didn't think that much of him.

1845
01:20:16,160 --> 01:20:19,240
It might have said, okay, no.

1846
01:20:19,240 --> 01:20:26,760
I think as the Bonex, I think they're going to do everything they can to make sure he

1847
01:20:26,760 --> 01:20:28,920
has a good season.

1848
01:20:28,920 --> 01:20:30,960
Seahawks starting quarterback 2024.

1849
01:20:30,960 --> 01:20:39,360
As part of my NFL preview, I mentioned that the Broncos are going to try to make sure

1850
01:20:39,360 --> 01:20:44,920
the Broncos win a lot of games this season to get Bonex used to winning.

1851
01:20:44,920 --> 01:20:50,920
They don't want them to have a statistically good year, but lose 12 games.

1852
01:20:50,920 --> 01:20:54,360
Geno Smith and Sam Howell is the backup.

1853
01:20:54,360 --> 01:20:56,560
That guy was from Washington, wasn't it Howell?

1854
01:20:56,560 --> 01:21:00,440
He did good a couple of times with the enemy.

1855
01:21:00,440 --> 01:21:04,240
Anyhow, yeah, go ahead.

1856
01:21:04,240 --> 01:21:05,560
Not a high scoring game.

1857
01:21:05,560 --> 01:21:13,560
I think it'll probably be 24-17 in that ballpark, but I think the Broncos are going to have

1858
01:21:13,560 --> 01:21:14,560
a good day.

1859
01:21:14,560 --> 01:21:20,840
Bonex is going to look decent, and they're going to make sure that pretty much all the

1860
01:21:20,840 --> 01:21:25,040
play calls they send into him are things that he can do and he's good at.

1861
01:21:25,040 --> 01:21:27,080
You mentioned it on the last podcast.

1862
01:21:27,080 --> 01:21:30,120
They want him to win a few games to get him.

1863
01:21:30,120 --> 01:21:31,400
Get used to the success.

1864
01:21:31,400 --> 01:21:32,400
Go ahead.

1865
01:21:32,400 --> 01:21:35,880
Don't do anything to rattle his confidence.

1866
01:21:35,880 --> 01:21:37,160
I guess that's what you're about to say.

1867
01:21:37,160 --> 01:21:39,160
Get him confidence, get him to believe himself.

1868
01:21:39,160 --> 01:21:42,760
Get him to say, hey, look, you're playing in the NFL and you're doing good.

1869
01:21:42,760 --> 01:21:43,760
That kind of thing.

1870
01:21:43,760 --> 01:21:47,880
If he comes up 500 and in the top 10, I think he's going to have a little bit of confidence

1871
01:21:47,880 --> 01:21:49,400
and build from there.

1872
01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:53,960
If that doesn't happen, then you're going to look at another failure coming out of Denver.

1873
01:21:53,960 --> 01:21:57,400
They've had a string of those ever since Elway left.

1874
01:21:57,400 --> 01:22:01,120
Coincidentally, Elway is one of the pickers.

1875
01:22:01,120 --> 01:22:04,000
Yeah.

1876
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:05,200
They didn't draft Elway.

1877
01:22:05,200 --> 01:22:06,840
They didn't draft Manning.

1878
01:22:06,840 --> 01:22:07,840
No.

1879
01:22:07,840 --> 01:22:13,520
Who of the Broncos drafted that wound up being a really good quarterback for him for a long

1880
01:22:13,520 --> 01:22:14,520
period of time?

1881
01:22:14,520 --> 01:22:16,920
Who was Elway's backup for a long time?

1882
01:22:16,920 --> 01:22:18,720
Carlos, Rich Carlos.

1883
01:22:18,720 --> 01:22:20,520
Yeah, he was decent.

1884
01:22:20,520 --> 01:22:24,920
Yeah, every time he was, he just couldn't get in the game because Elway was so bulletproof.

1885
01:22:24,920 --> 01:22:25,920
Yeah, so.

1886
01:22:25,920 --> 01:22:27,200
When he got in, he was damn good.

1887
01:22:27,200 --> 01:22:30,320
He might very well be one of the better quarterbacks they developed.

1888
01:22:30,320 --> 01:22:31,320
Yeah.

1889
01:22:31,320 --> 01:22:32,320
Just by default.

1890
01:22:32,320 --> 01:22:33,320
Yeah.

1891
01:22:33,320 --> 01:22:34,320
Because no one else they picked.

1892
01:22:34,320 --> 01:22:37,480
And he stuck around for almost a decade, wasn't it?

1893
01:22:37,480 --> 01:22:39,320
Yeah, maybe Jake Plummer.

1894
01:22:39,320 --> 01:22:41,400
Yeah, Jake Plummer was good.

1895
01:22:41,400 --> 01:22:42,760
He just didn't want to play anymore.

1896
01:22:42,760 --> 01:22:45,960
What about Jay Cutler?

1897
01:22:45,960 --> 01:22:46,960
Rocket arm.

1898
01:22:46,960 --> 01:22:48,760
Did they draft him?

1899
01:22:48,760 --> 01:22:49,760
I think they did.

1900
01:22:49,760 --> 01:22:51,760
I thought they were, you know what, maybe they didn't.

1901
01:22:51,760 --> 01:22:52,760
Yeah.

1902
01:22:52,760 --> 01:22:54,840
Because I was looking specifically at who they drafted.

1903
01:22:54,840 --> 01:22:55,840
Okay.

1904
01:22:55,840 --> 01:22:57,320
Who's been a good quarterback for him.

1905
01:22:57,320 --> 01:23:02,520
Here's a perfect example of another Jeff George, million dollar arm, 10 cent mind.

1906
01:23:02,520 --> 01:23:03,520
Yeah.

1907
01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:05,520
Yeah, just not, yeah.

1908
01:23:05,520 --> 01:23:06,520
Okay.

1909
01:23:06,520 --> 01:23:12,000
That was like the highlight of, who was the sportscaster?

1910
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:17,960
Jason somebody here in town, big giant food tick.

1911
01:23:17,960 --> 01:23:25,800
Anyway, the highlight of his life was he was on the same college team as Jeff George and

1912
01:23:25,800 --> 01:23:27,720
held hands with him in the muddle.

1913
01:23:27,720 --> 01:23:29,440
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

1914
01:23:29,440 --> 01:23:30,440
I think I know who you're talking about.

1915
01:23:30,440 --> 01:23:31,440
The ball state guy.

1916
01:23:31,440 --> 01:23:32,440
Damn it.

1917
01:23:32,440 --> 01:23:36,000
Yeah, I know who you're talking about because there's a ball state.

1918
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:38,080
There's not very many ball staters.

1919
01:23:38,080 --> 01:23:39,080
Yeah.

1920
01:23:39,080 --> 01:23:40,080
Yeah.

1921
01:23:40,080 --> 01:23:44,840
Who drafted Jay Cutler quarterback?

1922
01:23:44,840 --> 01:23:45,840
Denver Broncos.

1923
01:23:45,840 --> 01:23:47,000
Okay, so they did draft him.

1924
01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:48,520
Yeah, he worked out pretty well.

1925
01:23:48,520 --> 01:23:49,520
Yeah, he did.

1926
01:23:49,520 --> 01:23:51,520
They traded him though.

1927
01:23:51,520 --> 01:23:52,520
Yeah.

1928
01:23:52,520 --> 01:23:53,520
Bears.

1929
01:23:53,520 --> 01:23:54,520
He went to the Bears.

1930
01:23:54,520 --> 01:23:55,520
Yeah, he went to the Bears.

1931
01:23:55,520 --> 01:23:56,520
The Bears.

1932
01:23:56,520 --> 01:23:57,520
The Bears, yep.

1933
01:23:57,520 --> 01:23:58,520
The Bears.

1934
01:23:58,520 --> 01:24:03,320
Now is that the same Bears that women would rather be in the woods with than a man?

1935
01:24:03,320 --> 01:24:04,320
Yeah.

1936
01:24:04,320 --> 01:24:06,200
I'm still seeing memes on that.

1937
01:24:06,200 --> 01:24:08,800
That got way more traction than it deserved, didn't it?

1938
01:24:08,800 --> 01:24:09,800
I know it did.

1939
01:24:09,800 --> 01:24:10,800
I was like.

1940
01:24:10,800 --> 01:24:14,120
And people just lost their minds over it.

1941
01:24:14,120 --> 01:24:15,120
I know.

1942
01:24:15,120 --> 01:24:19,360
But you know, the funny thing is if the dead internet theory is correct, it wasn't people

1943
01:24:19,360 --> 01:24:20,600
losing their minds on it.

1944
01:24:20,600 --> 01:24:21,600
It was bots.

1945
01:24:21,600 --> 01:24:22,600
Yes.

1946
01:24:22,600 --> 01:24:24,200
Trying to get us to join in.

1947
01:24:24,200 --> 01:24:25,960
I think it's a percentage.

1948
01:24:25,960 --> 01:24:29,480
I think like 70% are bots and 30% are real.

1949
01:24:29,480 --> 01:24:30,480
Yeah.

1950
01:24:30,480 --> 01:24:35,160
I think there's been enough of us who've just gotten sick and tired of the garbage on social

1951
01:24:35,160 --> 01:24:36,160
media.

1952
01:24:36,160 --> 01:24:37,160
Yeah, I don't bother.

1953
01:24:37,160 --> 01:24:40,880
That there's not enough of us left who are real to generate the content, the amount of

1954
01:24:40,880 --> 01:24:42,560
likes and the excitement.

1955
01:24:42,560 --> 01:24:47,960
So yeah, 70% is just bots out there posting stuff, trying to get us excited, trying to

1956
01:24:47,960 --> 01:24:48,960
get us angry.

1957
01:24:48,960 --> 01:24:53,600
And let's face it, Zuckerberg has pretty much said allegedly all this stuff, you know,

1958
01:24:53,600 --> 01:24:58,680
that he actually didn't get sued for all this stuff, I think.

1959
01:24:58,680 --> 01:25:06,840
Yeah, somebody tried to bring some sort of fraud thing going, but it's not illegal.

1960
01:25:06,840 --> 01:25:15,520
There's nothing illegal about having pretend members on your social media platform spewing

1961
01:25:15,520 --> 01:25:18,920
out AI and written posts.

1962
01:25:18,920 --> 01:25:20,440
There's nothing illegal about that.

1963
01:25:20,440 --> 01:25:21,720
And it's good for your business.

1964
01:25:21,720 --> 01:25:23,520
So of course they're going to do it.

1965
01:25:23,520 --> 01:25:24,520
Oh yeah, yeah.

1966
01:25:24,520 --> 01:25:28,600
Well, it's funny, whenever I talk about anything, all of a sudden my Facebook feed is trying

1967
01:25:28,600 --> 01:25:29,600
to sell me that.

1968
01:25:29,600 --> 01:25:30,600
Yeah.

1969
01:25:30,600 --> 01:25:32,480
Yeah, like I did a couple of experiments.

1970
01:25:32,480 --> 01:25:34,480
I talked about this on the other podcast.

1971
01:25:34,480 --> 01:25:37,680
I'm like, you know, get a niche market, okay?

1972
01:25:37,680 --> 01:25:38,680
Like antique vases.

1973
01:25:38,680 --> 01:25:39,680
Yeah.

1974
01:25:39,680 --> 01:25:40,680
Say it close to your phone.

1975
01:25:40,680 --> 01:25:44,160
Next thing you know, you're going to see antique vases.

1976
01:25:44,160 --> 01:25:49,640
Something that you've never seen on there, but after you mention it, it will be there.

1977
01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:56,680
The other day I was looking at an audio interface with more inputs than the one I currently

1978
01:25:56,680 --> 01:25:57,680
have.

1979
01:25:57,680 --> 01:26:00,640
And I did one search and looked at one brand.

1980
01:26:00,640 --> 01:26:08,240
And for the last two weeks, my feed has just been flooded with ads for audio interfaces,

1981
01:26:08,240 --> 01:26:14,080
articles about audio interfaces, sales ads pop up.

1982
01:26:14,080 --> 01:26:15,080
It's on YouTube.

1983
01:26:15,080 --> 01:26:16,840
It's on my Google News feed.

1984
01:26:16,840 --> 01:26:18,360
Oh, that sounds like hell.

1985
01:26:18,360 --> 01:26:20,320
It's on Facebook.

1986
01:26:20,320 --> 01:26:24,280
Just mention it once and it's everywhere.

1987
01:26:24,280 --> 01:26:26,720
And that's not done by people.

1988
01:26:26,720 --> 01:26:27,720
That's done by bots.

1989
01:26:27,720 --> 01:26:28,720
Yeah.

1990
01:26:28,720 --> 01:26:31,240
So why not do all this other stuff by bots?

1991
01:26:31,240 --> 01:26:32,240
Yeah.

1992
01:26:32,240 --> 01:26:40,800
I keep seeing tons of AI created pictures trying to manipulate my emotions.

1993
01:26:40,800 --> 01:26:44,960
Usually it's like a dog that's crying because he's been abandoned or roadside.

1994
01:26:44,960 --> 01:26:45,960
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1995
01:26:45,960 --> 01:26:46,960
It's a totally fake picture.

1996
01:26:46,960 --> 01:26:47,960
I agree.

1997
01:26:47,960 --> 01:26:50,080
I think dogs don't cry out of their eyes.

1998
01:26:50,080 --> 01:26:52,080
Humans do that.

1999
01:26:52,080 --> 01:26:56,560
And I look at that and I think, well, this is just a blatant manipulation.

2000
01:26:56,560 --> 01:27:04,400
So I kill the post and scroll down the page and there's another one under a slightly different

2001
01:27:04,400 --> 01:27:07,800
name, slightly different picture.

2002
01:27:07,800 --> 01:27:15,920
Like wow, somebody somewhere has identified me and is trying to get something out of me

2003
01:27:15,920 --> 01:27:16,920
with these pictures.

2004
01:27:16,920 --> 01:27:18,680
And I'm not sure what.

2005
01:27:18,680 --> 01:27:22,680
Are they trying to get me to donate or are they trying to get me to just respond?

2006
01:27:22,680 --> 01:27:26,280
I look at some of it as a test to see how you react.

2007
01:27:26,280 --> 01:27:29,720
I think it's like, okay, they come up with all this information.

2008
01:27:29,720 --> 01:27:32,160
Okay, here's how he did on this.

2009
01:27:32,160 --> 01:27:33,660
Here's how he did on this.

2010
01:27:33,660 --> 01:27:34,920
Here's how he did on this.

2011
01:27:34,920 --> 01:27:37,240
So you'll be a part of a score of a final test.

2012
01:27:37,240 --> 01:27:42,260
Okay, this guy you can try to sell cars to.

2013
01:27:42,260 --> 01:27:44,680
This guy, he likes Doritos.

2014
01:27:44,680 --> 01:27:50,200
It's like the big companies that'll put out the major hiring drive and they'll get thousands

2015
01:27:50,200 --> 01:27:53,000
of people to send them job applications.

2016
01:27:53,000 --> 01:27:54,640
But they never had any jobs open.

2017
01:27:54,640 --> 01:27:56,240
They just wanted that marketing data.

2018
01:27:56,240 --> 01:28:00,480
And then they use what they can out of it and then they sell the rest of the data to

2019
01:28:00,480 --> 01:28:01,480
somebody else.

2020
01:28:01,480 --> 01:28:02,480
These temp services.

2021
01:28:02,480 --> 01:28:06,160
I'm pretty sure temp services do that too.

2022
01:28:06,160 --> 01:28:08,880
I mean, yeah, that's an alternate way to make more money.

2023
01:28:08,880 --> 01:28:10,280
They're all bored.

2024
01:28:10,280 --> 01:28:12,480
I know this isn't anything to do with football.

2025
01:28:12,480 --> 01:28:16,040
Have you heard of the recent Borderlands movie?

2026
01:28:16,040 --> 01:28:17,040
No.

2027
01:28:17,040 --> 01:28:20,440
Okay, there's a video game franchise called Borderlands.

2028
01:28:20,440 --> 01:28:22,880
It's first person shooter.

2029
01:28:22,880 --> 01:28:27,720
The graphics are kind of cartoony, but it's really graphically violent.

2030
01:28:27,720 --> 01:28:33,200
There's a lot of foul language and it's basically a whole lot of fun because it's kind of over

2031
01:28:33,200 --> 01:28:34,200
the top.

2032
01:28:34,200 --> 01:28:40,000
And there's been Borderlands 1, 2, and 3 and then some auxiliary games, et cetera.

2033
01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:44,800
And then here recently they put out a Borderlands movie.

2034
01:28:44,800 --> 01:28:49,520
And it did horribly, horribly at the box office.

2035
01:28:49,520 --> 01:28:52,240
It has a rotten tomato score.

2036
01:28:52,240 --> 01:28:56,240
It started out at 0% and then one person gave it a positive review.

2037
01:28:56,240 --> 01:28:59,440
So it got up to 3%.

2038
01:28:59,440 --> 01:29:04,320
People working on the movie have come out and said publicly, said, yeah, while we were

2039
01:29:04,320 --> 01:29:06,960
making this movie, we all knew it was terrible.

2040
01:29:06,960 --> 01:29:09,480
It has nothing to do with the game franchise.

2041
01:29:09,480 --> 01:29:13,600
It just kind of looks like it and uses some of the same names, but it's just an awful

2042
01:29:13,600 --> 01:29:14,600
story.

2043
01:29:14,600 --> 01:29:17,000
So was this authorized by the game people?

2044
01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:18,000
Yes.

2045
01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:23,920
And the guys working on it, the men and women working on it say this was never intended

2046
01:29:23,920 --> 01:29:24,920
to make money.

2047
01:29:24,920 --> 01:29:26,960
Everybody knew it was a piece of garbage.

2048
01:29:26,960 --> 01:29:29,000
This was a tax write off for somebody.

2049
01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:30,400
Oh, oh, okay.

2050
01:29:30,400 --> 01:29:36,520
So the game came out bombed, but interest in the video games skyrocketed.

2051
01:29:36,520 --> 01:29:37,960
And wouldn't you know it?

2052
01:29:37,960 --> 01:29:41,120
Borderlands 4 is just about ready to come out.

2053
01:29:41,120 --> 01:29:42,120
Yep.

2054
01:29:42,120 --> 01:29:43,200
Isn't that amazing?

2055
01:29:43,200 --> 01:29:50,120
They spent a hundred million dollars making this piece of shit movie, intending for it

2056
01:29:50,120 --> 01:29:55,640
to flop, which would garner a lot of press and publicity.

2057
01:29:55,640 --> 01:30:00,440
Get people excited about the good version of Borderlands, which was the games, and now

2058
01:30:00,440 --> 01:30:02,680
they've got a new game coming out.

2059
01:30:02,680 --> 01:30:04,000
That was the plan all along.

2060
01:30:04,000 --> 01:30:06,360
Well, the problem is people fall for this.

2061
01:30:06,360 --> 01:30:07,360
Yeah.

2062
01:30:07,360 --> 01:30:12,680
Did you really sit there and listen to all that garbage that was being, do you actually

2063
01:30:12,680 --> 01:30:13,680
believe one inch of it?

2064
01:30:13,680 --> 01:30:14,680
I didn't think so.

2065
01:30:14,680 --> 01:30:41,680
Hang on, game over.
