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 --> 00:00:30,000
Hehehehehehe

6
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Harambe loved talking sports. Harambe doesn't talk sports anymore.

7
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,000
Why not? Because Harambe's dead.

8
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:48,000
Harambe died because some idiot could not watch their children properly while they were on the phone.

9
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:54,000
They shot him, senselessly murdered. Harambe does not talk sports anymore.

10
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,000
Sorry Harambe.

11
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:03,000
Kicking your ass with size 15 clown boots and a deep Tracy hat.

12
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000
We are rolling.

13
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:13,000
Alright. Hey, hello everybody. This is the Sports Bastards. I'm Mark.

14
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,000
And I'm Topher.

15
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,000
This is going to be an interesting experiment because Topher and I are both on vacations.

16
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:29,000
I am in Eureka Springs Arkansas on the balcony of the Flatiron Platts Suites

17
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,000
right across from the Mason Park.

18
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,000
And I'm sitting here. It's going to be a little noisy at times so I apologize.

19
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,000
But I'm overlooking the hills and the sun coming up. It's beautiful.

20
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,000
And you are?

21
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:47,000
I went to see some family. I'm in Pigeon Forge.

22
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,000
What state am I in? Good God.

23
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,000
It's in Tennessee.

24
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,000
Yeah. Okay. I wasn't sure if I was across the line in Kentucky or not.

25
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,000
Yeah, Pigeon Forge is in Tennessee.

26
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,000
Yeah, I believe so.

27
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Anyway, so I found a little coffee shop and I'm hanging out.

28
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,000
Oh yeah, yeah. I think I know which one you're talking about.

29
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Is it the one at the base of the initial hill where the smokey mountains begin right behind it?

30
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:17,000
Yeah, yeah. And there's like this little river running right next door.

31
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,000
I mean right next to the coffee shop. It's really, really cool.

32
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Yeah, I believe I know where that's at. That's a beautiful coffee shop.

33
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Man, that's good.

34
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,000
Yeah, I'm watching the birds are coming by and swooping down

35
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,000
and getting the little bugs off the surface of the river. It's pretty cool.

36
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Oh cool. Oh, so you're on the patio out there.

37
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:39,000
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's pretty loud inside.

38
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,000
A lot of people are here.

39
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:48,000
So I went out on the patio and I found a spot where I could set up the mobile rig.

40
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:53,000
Okay, I was wondering how you're going to do that because I have nothing here except for my Bluetooth sunglasses.

41
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,000
And that's it.

42
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:01,000
Yeah, well I've got you on speakerphone running through a Bluetooth speaker

43
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:07,000
and you're going into the back side of the microphone and I'm going into the front side of the microphone.

44
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,000
This will be interesting. I can tell you that.

45
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,000
I just realized how kinky that sounded.

46
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:20,000
Well, we are the sports bastards if you don't say things like that from us, don't they?

47
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:29,000
Yeah, it's going to be a little noisy here at times because in the morning they deliver all the beers and everything

48
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,000
for this little district here.

49
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,000
And like I said, there's a famous hotel right behind us

50
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,000
and this is a famous plantar building in the middle of it.

51
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,000
Then there's businesses to the other side.

52
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,000
Then there's Main Street just down the hill.

53
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:49,000
So there's a lot of commerce going on, especially in the morning because all the trucks deliver all the goods

54
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,000
because about two o'clock this place becomes a raging animal.

55
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,000
So, anyhow.

56
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:04,000
So I was just looking over the wire and there's two things, but the one that I believe is the one from Adam Scheffler

57
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,000
and the New York Post.

58
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,000
The Chiefs are training a fourth round rap day for the Andre Hopkins.

59
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,000
Yeah, yeah, that's been all over the TV this morning.

60
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,000
Apparently it's a done deal.

61
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:20,000
It's a fifth round that might become a fourth round depending on circumstances.

62
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,000
Oh, that was a conditional.

63
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Okay, I didn't get a chance to read it all.

64
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,000
I realized I didn't call my mom and check in with her because she's watching my house.

65
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:35,000
And I got to read a little bit and I was like, oh shit, she'll call during the broadcast if I don't call her.

66
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:41,000
So I like to cut that short and call her up real quick and then call Duke.

67
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:48,000
So, yeah, I mean, you know, I don't think the Chiefs are going to do it first, but now J.J. Smith-Schuster gets banged up.

68
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,000
Dorothy just banged up a little bit.

69
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:59,000
I mean, our wide receiver positions are just depleting down to like two, maybe two people.

70
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,000
Yeah, well, Sky Moore is still there, but he didn't do much.

71
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:09,000
I was getting ready to say, I've got a question coming up about him and CHE.

72
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,000
But you know what, and I think we can probably figure it out.

73
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,000
But we'll go to that a little bit later.

74
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,000
That'll be in bullet points.

75
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Well, yeah, that was the big news.

76
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,000
And then we have some other stuff coming up.

77
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:31,000
Like it seems like people are turning on Shanahan, Kyle Shanahan now.

78
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,000
Yeah.

79
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,000
Yeah, we'll get that a little bit later.

80
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,000
There's a lot of people really upset with some of the things being done as of late.

81
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:46,000
So, yeah, and before, too, not just the Super Bowl and people not being trained properly in the new.

82
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,000
I always say it's on the players.

83
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,000
It's not on hand, but some people feel differently.

84
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,000
You know, if you don't know the rules, isn't that just elementary?

85
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:59,000
Yeah, I mean, the coaches can provide them the rules.

86
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,000
The league provides them the rules.

87
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:07,000
And by gosh, it's up to the player to learn and understand the rules, you know?

88
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,000
Yeah, I can see some of the criticism, but that part I do not see.

89
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,000
That is up to the players.

90
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:18,000
And quite frankly, maybe the GM, because why do you hire people that don't know the rules?

91
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,000
Really?

92
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,000
I mean, I do want to.

93
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,000
Yeah, so, hey, I'll look at them a little bit later.

94
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,000
So, what, you want to go to a probably disastrous fix?

95
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,000
Like I said, I've been down here.

96
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,000
I have no idea.

97
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,000
I got down here to watch the chase again.

98
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:35,000
And there were a lot of 49er fans in there all until about, oh, four minutes left.

99
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,000
And then there was none.

100
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,000
It was crickets.

101
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:47,000
And they were very boisterous until Mark, the fan from Kansas City, came in with his Patrick Mahomes Super Bowl jersey on.

102
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:52,000
And they were having a good old time until Mark kept screaming louder than them.

103
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:57,000
Every time he would make more plays than them.

104
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,000
And Mark just looked over there because he had a few pops.

105
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,000
Like, bring it, bitch.

106
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,000
And then I'm like, I'm right here, man.

107
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,000
I'm right here.

108
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,000
Yeah, there's quite a few of them.

109
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,000
If I had been in my right mind, I would have just been like, hey, good play, good play.

110
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,000
No, no, no, no, no.

111
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,000
Not Mark.

112
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:21,000
Mark is a completely different animal.

113
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,000
Okay, see you out there.

114
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,000
Well, we didn't do too bad, really.

115
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,000
Really?

116
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,000
Yeah.

117
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Out of 15 games, we each missed five.

118
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,000
I'm proud of this.

119
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,000
Yeah, I was really surprised.

120
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,000
Yeah, I mean, because there were some tricky games this time.

121
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,000
Really tricky games.

122
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,000
Really toss-ups.

123
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,000
Yeah, yeah.

124
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:51,000
There were some that I got really wrong on the score.

125
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,000
Man, there's one you got really close.

126
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,000
That's the Detroit at Minnesota game.

127
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,000
That's the third one we'll get to.

128
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,000
You almost had the score perfect.

129
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,000
Oh, wow, that's cool.

130
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,000
Yeah.

131
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,000
That's very cool.

132
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,000
So.

133
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Okay.

134
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,000
Let's go ahead and start off with the Thursday night game.

135
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,000
It was Denver at New Orleans.

136
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:20,000
And I was watching a YouTube feed of a guy who was watching the game and describing it.

137
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,000
Oh, that's right.

138
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,000
You don't have Amazon Prime.

139
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:26,000
Yeah.

140
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,000
So.

141
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,000
Well, you're welcome.

142
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,000
Come over to my house and watch it if you want.

143
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,000
I appreciate it.

144
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,000
Appreciate it.

145
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,000
Whether I'm there or not, I'll be there eventually.

146
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,000
All right.

147
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,000
Well, this was a guy with a big Broncos D hanging around his neck.

148
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,000
And he had the TV out of view.

149
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,000
And he had the sound down.

150
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,000
So he's not breaking any copyright laws for rebroadcasting.

151
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:55,000
And he was watching the game and describing everything he was seeing.

152
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,000
He's putting up the score, putting up stats.

153
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,000
I mean, everything completely legal.

154
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,000
So that was pretty awesome.

155
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:08,000
My big takeaway from the game is Denver beat the crap out of New Orleans.

156
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,000
But Bo Nix did not really play well.

157
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,000
They won anyway.

158
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,000
But Bo Nix didn't play well.

159
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,000
I know.

160
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,000
And that has been the ammo for the Chiefs, too.

161
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,000
I mean, the Holmes is not particularly – well, he's not playing well at all.

162
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,000
But the thing is, here's what my Holmes is doing.

163
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,000
And Bo Nix, a little bit, but not nearly as much.

164
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,000
He was making a big play when he had to.

165
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,000
Yeah, that's the big thing.

166
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,000
Yeah, but that wasn't so much for Bo Nix.

167
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:37,000
That's more like the running backs were really making a big play when they needed to.

168
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,000
Yeah.

169
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,000
But then again, Kurt and Hunt was also.

170
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,000
But not so prolific like the Holmes was doing.

171
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,000
Like that one run was just insane.

172
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,000
But we'll be back later.

173
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,000
Well, you had 23-10.

174
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,000
And I had 17-14.

175
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,000
We both picked Denver.

176
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,000
And Denver won 32-10.

177
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,000
So New Orleans has got some questions to answer.

178
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:06,000
Well, it seems to me like – okay, General Matthew is good as he is.

179
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:13,000
He has a – in my opinion, he has a tendency to let up when things don't look good.

180
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,000
Huh, interesting.

181
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,000
And that's the way I've always seen him.

182
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,000
And it seemed like when we got rid of – well, we didn't get rid of him.

183
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,000
We let him go.

184
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,000
We let him walk.

185
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,000
Yeah.

186
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:29,000
We got some youngsters like Reed and people like that that don't seem to let up off of the pedal so much.

187
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,000
Yeah.

188
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,000
They used to call that having a, what, a high motor?

189
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,000
Yes, yes.

190
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:36,000
Absolutely.

191
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,000
Yeah.

192
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,000
And Matthew to me has always kind of reminded me of that guy.

193
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:45,000
He can get it done, but he's not always – if things start looking a little tough,

194
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,000
he starts kind of like just going into town to me.

195
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,000
Now, he's a great player.

196
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,000
Don't get me wrong.

197
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,000
Mm-hmm.

198
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:57,000
But I think that's why Spagnolo and Reed decided to go with younger players that were more hungry

199
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,000
and didn't have a couple of huge contracts behind their belts.

200
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,000
Yeah, yeah.

201
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:07,000
Yeah, when you sign older players from other teams, they can only take you so far,

202
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:13,000
and then they start feeling their age or their injuries or deciding, you know what, it's not really worth it.

203
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:18,000
Sometimes you get really, you know, a really good deal, but sometimes the players –

204
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:23,000
there's a reason why they left their old team and they let them go.

205
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,000
Yes, absolutely.

206
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,000
And I agree.

207
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,000
If they almost really weren't keeping it, they would probably try to hold onto it,

208
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,000
but the Chiefs didn't even try.

209
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:34,000
They let it go and it walked, which indicated to me that there was something –

210
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,000
and it wasn't his attitude.

211
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:40,000
He was a very nice guy, very appreciative, really loving guy, very charming,

212
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:45,000
but there was something there that indicated to them like, you know what,

213
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,000
we don't want to spend that much money on him.

214
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,000
As a matter of fact, I'll go a step further.

215
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,000
The Chiefs are not that design of a team.

216
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,000
They were not going to get Deandre Hopkins or Cooper Cuff,

217
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,000
which was the other room of which I don't believe at all because we don't have that kind of money.

218
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:03,000
But we're not going to get them at all until we're completed down to like two wide receivers.

219
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Then they had to, and then he's on his last year, they're not going to owe him anything,

220
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,000
so that makes perfect sense.

221
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,000
Yeah, yeah.

222
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:19,000
Anyhow, yeah, New Orleans, I look to them to continue to crumble whether Derek Carr is back or not.

223
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:25,000
They are on a downward spiral, and I mean, they are looking about what the Titans really have.

224
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,000
I mean, they just –

225
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:31,000
Yeah, and the Titans are giving up because they just traded us Deandre Hopkins.

226
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,000
Yeah, yeah.

227
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:38,000
Well, when you've got a guy with those 99 yards or 98, like Levis,

228
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,000
what kind of stats can you get anyhow?

229
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,000
People are down on, oh, he doesn't have any stats or what?

230
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,000
Yeah, yeah.

231
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,000
Your quarterback has 90 fucking yards.

232
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,000
Yes.

233
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:53,000
That ain't – there's going to be all the receivers, so you can't tell me that's all the 100.

234
00:12:53,000 --> 00:13:00,000
Well, some – here are the leaders for the New Orleans team in that game.

235
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:08,000
Rattler was 25 of 35 for 172 yards, no interceptions, no touchdowns.

236
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,000
Okay.

237
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:14,000
Kendra Miller, the running back, 6 for 36 yards.

238
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,000
Oh, big problem.

239
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:27,000
And their top wide receiver for the game was Cedric Wilson, Jr., 6 receptions, 57 yards and a TD.

240
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:32,000
Okay, you know what, with that team being so bad as they are,

241
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:36,000
I mean that's a pretty stellar performance out of the wide receiver.

242
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,000
And actually not that bad a performance out of Rattler.

243
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,000
I mean, he didn't have any touchdowns, but he didn't have any interceptions.

244
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:47,000
Yeah, you would like to see him break the 200-yard mark, though.

245
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,000
Yeah, I watched some of the game.

246
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:54,000
I didn't get a chance to watch all of it, but it appeared to me like he just wasn't making the big plays,

247
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:58,000
but he was beating the pedestrian yards, once in the middle between the curtains.

248
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,000
Yeah, yeah.

249
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:06,000
And I mean that's a sign of just a quarterback who's in there and not someone who's going to take you anywhere.

250
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,000
And that's what we're seeing there.

251
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:14,000
And I mean, you know, Denver has a team ascending, New Orleans is obviously a team descending,

252
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,000
and this is about what I think they do.

253
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,000
Yeah, yeah, me too.

254
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,000
So yeah, I don't know where else to take that.

255
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,000
I mean, you know, we'll see.

256
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:29,000
I think Denver can make the playoffs in a long hard spot, and we'll see from there.

257
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,000
Yeah, I agree.

258
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,000
But I don't think Bo Nix is probably not the guy to take the team on its back,

259
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:39,000
so it's going to have to be a really, really good game plan from Sean Payne.

260
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:47,000
Yeah, but you know, that would be an excellent experience for Bo Nix, though, to make the playoffs.

261
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:52,000
Even if they lose, just, you know, his first season, they make the playoffs and he gets a taste of it.

262
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,000
I mean, that would be really good for, I think, for Bo Nix's career.

263
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,000
That is what you want.

264
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,000
Yeah.

265
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,000
But you're bringing a quarterback.

266
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,000
I mean, that's what they did with Mahomes, you know, when they made the playoffs.

267
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:09,000
And there's still a lot of hubbub about Andy Reach who put Mahomes in on that playoff game

268
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,000
when Alan Smith wasn't really doing that much.

269
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,000
Yeah.

270
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:16,000
A lot of people are like, you know, put him in, put him in now, put him in now.

271
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,000
And whatever Andy Reach did, it worked, didn't it?

272
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,000
It did.

273
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,000
It did.

274
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,000
Yeah.

275
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:28,000
So, Bo Nix is kind of like that, only he's the man and there's not a guy ahead of him.

276
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,000
He's not going to be the man, you know.

277
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,000
He is the man right now.

278
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,000
So there's different ways you can weigh your feet like that,

279
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,000
and I think that it's a very intelligent way of doing it.

280
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,000
You just got to be really careful because if you have that one bad day

281
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,000
where he gets five sacks or four of them.

282
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,000
True, yeah.

283
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,000
Yeah, you got to be really careful about that.

284
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,000
So I look to the game plan to be very industrial, even the playoffs have been made.

285
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,000
Yep, yep.

286
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,000
I can, yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

287
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,000
Yeah.

288
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,000
So we'll see Sean Pagan sees a quarterback, or not quarterback,

289
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:04,000
sees a coach and also a head coach and also a Super Bowl winning.

290
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,000
So I think that he'll figure it out pretty well.

291
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,000
I think so too.

292
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,000
Yeah.

293
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:17,000
I think Denver is going to emerge as the Chief's biggest worry in the AFC West.

294
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,000
Yeah, I thought it was going to be the Chargers, but you know,

295
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,000
they're fading.

296
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:25,000
I know that Mark Harbaugh is the quarterback for Rue, per se,

297
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,000
but I don't know, there's something fundamentally wrong with Harbaugh.

298
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,000
I have not figured it all out yet.

299
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:37,000
Yeah, well, I don't know if it's injury or some mental issue that he's struggling with

300
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:43,000
or combination, but yeah, he's not the quarterback that we were used to.

301
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,000
No, not the one that came out of Bob's hop on he did,

302
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,000
and everyone was like, well, oh my gosh, we've got another Mahomes here, don't we?

303
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,000
Yeah, I remember that.

304
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,000
Yeah.

305
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,000
Not so much anymore.

306
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,000
He has too many coaches, too many offensive coaches.

307
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,000
I think some doubt beat in his head.

308
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,000
He got sacked a few times, got hit a few times like you alluded to.

309
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,000
So, you know, that's what you get, but hey, how we can move on?

310
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,000
I was going to say that when the team starts bringing in a lot of different

311
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,000
offensive coordinators for the quarterback, that's like when mommy brings home

312
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,000
a new daddy every weekend and then they leave.

313
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,000
You know?

314
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:27,000
The quarterback's just, I was just getting attached to him and now I've got a new daddy?

315
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:31,000
This is a new daddy. No, no, no, this guy's just a drunk that comes over when no one else will.

316
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,000
So, don't even talk to him.

317
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,000
I mean, that's got to be how the quarterback feels when they keep firing the

318
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,000
offensive coordinator or the quarterback's coach.

319
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,000
He's like, give me somebody. Anybody is reliable.

320
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,000
Somebody's going to be here tomorrow.

321
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,000
I was going to talk to him about the game plan.

322
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,000
I was like, where is he?

323
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,000
Well, I was going to go over this with you, but I'm just going to have that time.

324
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,000
You know, meetings and stuff.

325
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,000
Well, it appears that he's what?

326
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,000
You could just do it the Sopranos way.

327
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,000
Oh, that guy, yeah, you ain't going to see him no more.

328
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,000
No, no, no, you're going.

329
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,000
All right, moving right along.

330
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,000
We don't want to know.

331
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,000
Yes.

332
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:16,000
He's coaching with the fishes.

333
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,000
Yeah, coaching with the fishes.

334
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,000
All right.

335
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,000
Man, I have no idea what's in my coffee this morning.

336
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:29,000
You know what? I had a really, really good espresso for a pay from up the road.

337
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:33,000
Yeah, I think so.

338
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:37,000
Anyhow, I'm glad you're talking swimming well, too.

339
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:43,000
Next we have the London game, New England at Jacksonville.

340
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,000
And you picked Jacksonville 17-14.

341
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,000
I picked New England 24-17.

342
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:57,000
But you were right. It was 32-16 final score, and Jacksonville just seemed unstoppable.

343
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:03,000
It's been going on for years now, and they're never going anywhere.

344
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:07,000
So I expect the coach still to come to hot seat.

345
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:12,000
Yeah, this is like pulling the bandaid off slowly to win a few games here and there.

346
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:18,000
It's like you can't think that this team is going to be okay unchanged for next year.

347
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,000
You've got to make some changes.

348
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:28,000
Yeah, Doug Peterson is probably still on the hot seat, and Doug Peterson, again, I say,

349
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,000
is going to take a couple more blowouts.

350
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:35,000
Losers, and then he will probably be in the unemployment line.

351
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:39,000
I don't wish it on him or no, but he's obviously a pretty nice guy.

352
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:46,000
He was here in Kansas City for quite a while as one of the lead staff.

353
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:52,000
He won a Super Bowl in Philadelphia, and then everyone in Philadelphia is laughing.

354
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:56,000
You've got to read, hehehe. They're not laughing now.

355
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,000
No, no, no.

356
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:07,000
But I agree with you. Doug Peterson is not a bad guy like some coaches are.

357
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:11,000
It's just this doesn't really seem to be his thing anymore.

358
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:17,000
He had some great success earlier, but it just doesn't seem to be his jam right now.

359
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:21,000
He's in the court, a coordinator I think.

360
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:27,000
Yeah, designing game plans. Yeah, that's kind of him.

361
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:34,000
It's not like we wish him ill. It's just, hey, you're in a job you really can't do, so time to move on.

362
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:38,000
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We wish you well in the future endeavors. We'll keep in touch.

363
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:48,000
Okay, next up we have Detroit at Minnesota. Final score was 3129 Detroit.

364
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:53,000
Your guess was 3130 Detroit. You were off by one point on Minnesota.

365
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,000
I should have been there. I know.

366
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:01,000
I picked Minnesota 2717, so I missed a boat there.

367
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:11,000
Yeah, I mean, I was thinking Detroit is ascending so heavy right now.

368
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:17,000
And all these people are now they're the sexy dick. Oh yeah, yeah, they're the ones. All that stuff. I love it.

369
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,000
Until they lose one and then all of a sudden they're going to look somewhere else.

370
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:27,000
But Detroit is obviously starting to get their shit together, and they weren't doing too bad before.

371
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:33,000
They have all the components, except I'm still saying this.

372
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:43,000
Jared Goff. Jared Goff is one of the best quarterbacks ever, one of the worst quarterbacks ever, and he could be in the same game.

373
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:52,000
Yeah, and he had a hell of a game. He had the whole game he had three incompletions. That was it. He was 2225.

374
00:21:52,000 --> 00:22:05,000
I mean, is it coachable to take a player like that that has been so cool? He didn't win it when he was there.

375
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:12,000
They lost to the Patriots. This is a great keyboard overriding. I'm talking about where we lost to the keyboard.

376
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:21,000
And he went there against the Patriots and didn't look that good because he had a great game plan around, which I'm getting ready for, which is what I'm going into.

377
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:32,000
I think Jared Goff is very controllable with a good game plan. So this is all going to be up to Campbell, and how Dan Campbell can handle this right here in my opinion.

378
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:39,000
I think he has all the components. They go a long ways, but not all the way. But he's going to have to do it just right.

379
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:53,000
Yeah. Stat-wise, it was a pretty close game. Sam Darnold only had five incompletions. They had almost the same number of yards. Darnold had one interception.

380
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:57,000
Yeah, Darnold. I mean, at some point he's going to be Darnold, isn't he?

381
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,000
Yeah, that's true.

382
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,000
Yeah, so there you go.

383
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:10,000
The leading rusher for each team, pretty close. 116 yards versus 93 yards.

384
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:20,000
Leading receivers, pretty close. Eight for 112 for Detroit. Seven for 81 for Minnesota.

385
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:27,000
So I'm not that far off on the stats, but that's why it was one of the reasons it was a close game.

386
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:38,000
I watched parts of it, and it really seemed like Detroit was determined, and I could tell that they wanted it more.

387
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:45,000
I mean, Minnesota was playing their ass off, but Detroit looked like they were just not going to take no for an answer.

388
00:23:45,000 --> 00:24:01,000
Yes, I agree. Detroit has that push. They have that extra bump. And against a team like Minnesota, who is not quite there, but really close, that's going to get them somewhere.

389
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:05,000
I'd put it like this, it's going to make a hell of a championship game if they both make it.

390
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:12,000
Oh yeah. And that means that Kansas City is the only undefeated team left.

391
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:22,000
Yes. Which is insane. We'll go into that one. There's so many components on that thing.

392
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:44,000
Alrighty. Next up on the list we have Tennessee at Buffalo. Score was 34 to 10, Buffalo. I picked Buffalo 28-9, you picked Buffalo 32-7. So again, you were almost there on the score.

393
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:52,000
It was 34-10, and you picked 32-7. So you were getting psychic on that one.

394
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:59,000
That was good. That was a good pick, but that's pretty much Buffalo's ammo this year. After they got their head straightened out.

395
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:09,000
If Buffalo is going to put up some numbers, then the other numbers are depending on the team they play.

396
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:19,000
If it's an offensive juggernaut, then you can look for them to put up numbers too. But if not, they're going to shut them down.

397
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:34,000
They can be out game-playing, i.e. the Ravens. McDermott is a really good coach, but sometimes I question how good of a coach.

398
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:45,000
Well, it seemed like what their game plan, or how it worked out for them this week, was they just stifled the Titans' drives.

399
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:55,000
It's not like they were a bunch of turnovers. It was just don't let them make the converting plays.

400
00:25:55,000 --> 00:26:07,000
They guessed right so often on what to do on second and long, third and long, etc. The Titans just couldn't keep any drives going.

401
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:22,000
It kind of reminds me of the chase defense without the turnovers. That blanket defense where they go in at the quarterback so adamantly and graciously that there's nothing left really to do except run and hope to make the completion.

402
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:32,000
And that's it. You're out of the pocket virtually every play. You're throwing off balance virtually every play. And if you're not doing that, you're on the ground.

403
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:48,000
I mean, there's nothing you can do with that. I mean, you know, it was a great game plan. But I go back to when they start playing the elite teams, what's going to happen?

404
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:57,000
So we'll see. Vaughn Miller is doing a little bit better than he has last couple of games, but he still doesn't seem to be where he was the first couple of games.

405
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:58,000
Yeah.

406
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:04,000
You think? Yeah. So we'll see. I mean, he is in his mid-30s, so we'll probably see that all year.

407
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:09,000
Yeah, I don't imagine he's going to get better as the year goes on.

408
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:15,000
No, no, I think he's going to wear down. I think he will have moments of brilliance when the game plan hits just right.

409
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,000
Yeah, yeah, true.

410
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:29,000
Alright. The next game is another battle of mediocrity. Miami at Indianapolis.

411
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:37,000
Final score was 16 to 10. I picked 24-15. You picked Miami 20 to 17.

412
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,000
Okay. Did Miami win I think?

413
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,000
No, Indy won 16-10.

414
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:49,000
Indy won, that's right. Okay, yeah. Okay. And you picked Indy, didn't you?

415
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,000
Yeah.

416
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:59,000
Okay, that's what I thought. Okay. Well, I mean, I don't know what to say. The team is rudderless without Tura Kaga Viola.

417
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:05,000
He is still undecided whether he's coming back this year or not.

418
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:06,000
Yeah.

419
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:19,000
I don't know why he would. Why he would, they're not going to make the playoffs. And if they do, I mean, this whole thing is just so, I mean, when, well, I don't even know how to describe it.

420
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:27,000
It seems like the whole team is about one person on offense, even though they have Waddle and Henry Hill.

421
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:32,000
Yeah, and it really seems to be damaging the team to have this uncertainty going on week after week.

422
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:39,000
I think he would be doing everyone a favor if he just made a decision now to whether he's coming back or not this season.

423
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:48,000
You know, let next season take care of itself later. But help the team by making a decision now. Yeah, I'm coming back or no, I'm not.

424
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:56,000
Yeah, I think that would be a big step. And then they can decide if there's anybody out there. You know, they can try to pick off Corso once from us.

425
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,000
True.

426
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:04,000
You know, yeah, they could be like, you know, of course, he's done that. He's done that. He's fell on some rough times with the offense.

427
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:15,000
There's not that much difference. He is familiar with Tyree Hill at least. And not with the Chiefs, but other things.

428
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,000
So.

429
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:22,000
Tyler Hunt, you want to hear Tyler Hunt least stats?

430
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:23,000
Yes.

431
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:28,000
7 of 13, 87 yards and a touchdown.

432
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:32,000
So they didn't even let him pass very much, did they?

433
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,000
No, they didn't. No, they did not.

434
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:41,000
Indy has a good defense, but looking at the record, it would indicate to me that Huntley has nothing in the game.

435
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:51,000
Yeah. The weird thing, Huntley has 87 passing yards, but one of his receivers had 95 receiving yards.

436
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:57,000
So Huntley's total is less because he got sacked. They take the sack yards off of his stats.

437
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,000
Yes, that's right.

438
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:04,000
So he's got a receiver that has more yards than Huntley has throwing.

439
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:10,000
This baffles me because Tua is not a running quarterback. How did he get out of all these sacks?

440
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,000
I don't know.

441
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,000
He didn't really.

442
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:18,000
Must be, yeah, well, yeah.

443
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:25,000
But that was his fault. He ran head first into, what's his name?

444
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,000
I don't remember his name either.

445
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:32,000
It's the guy that fell down dead and then they brought him back.

446
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,000
Oh, Damar Hamlin. Yeah.

447
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:40,000
Hamlin, yeah, he ran chest first actually into Damar Hamlin, which is ironic.

448
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:46,000
Yeah, I remember watching that play and saying, slide, slide, and then he went smack.

449
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:51,000
Yeah, and I'm like, what? So anyhow, it's like you're not going to knock Hamlin down.

450
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,000
No.

451
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:59,000
That's it. So yeah. Yeah, Tua needs to make a decision. I don't think this season's salvageable anyhow.

452
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:05,000
Maybe they need to make a decision for him. Maybe they need to say, look, you're going to count this year.

453
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:12,000
And if you like it or not, we don't care. We're doing it for your home good and your family's good. We'll talk to you later.

454
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:17,000
Yeah, at a certain point the team's got to decide what's best for them.

455
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:21,000
And right now, waiting for Tua to make a decision is what they're doing.

456
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:28,000
But tomorrow they could decide, we got to move on. So Tua, whatever you decide, let us know that we're moving on.

457
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:32,000
Yes, I think that's going to have to happen. And we'll see what happens.

458
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:37,000
I would have to think that Tua is getting really close to figuring it out anyhow.

459
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:38,000
I would think.

460
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:42,000
You're going to figure this out. What is Miami's record for chips?

461
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:47,000
They are now two and four.

462
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:52,000
Two and four and they are how many newest league their division?

463
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:59,000
Buffalo's probably leading it. Let me see what Buffalo's. Buffalo's going to be five and two.

464
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:04,000
Okay. They're reachable, especially since they play Buffalo.

465
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,000
Yeah.

466
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,000
I thought you'd have to start playing a hell of a lot better than you're doing right now.

467
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:15,000
So are they going to do that?

468
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:20,000
I'm saying when the heads get together there and they start figuring out their decision,

469
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,000
they may look in today and go, you know what, we can make a run.

470
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:27,000
You're the right person. So I think that this is all up to Tua.

471
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:32,000
And if Tua comes in, you're going to have to change your game plan a little bit too and tell him, you got to be safe.

472
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:37,000
Spike the ball, go in while there's somebody, get rid of it, the one and eight.

473
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,000
Yeah. Yeah. And making a run is good for the team.

474
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,000
You know, it's good for everybody on the team.

475
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:47,000
You can point at it and say, look, we made the playoffs that year.

476
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,000
They even offered a rent something. I think this is true.

477
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:54,000
I read it. I forgot the source, but I looked at the sources and okay.

478
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:58,000
They offered him the special helmet, the padded one. And he said no.

479
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:05,000
Yeah, I saw these are there a Bucks player? Yeah, it was a Bucks player wearing one of the safety helmets.

480
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:10,000
And it looks a little odd at first, but God bless them. Do what you need to do.

481
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:15,000
Exactly. Protect your brain. CTE is no joke.

482
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:23,000
Yeah. Yeah. Who was the, uh, the Samoan player that even said he had CTE

483
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,000
and was going to kill himself? They eventually did. I forgot. Not that long ago.

484
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,000
Junior Sayo? Junior Sayo, yeah.

485
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:33,000
Yeah. You don't want to end up like him. You do not want to end up like him.

486
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,000
I don't understand why you couldn't have known him.

487
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:42,000
Yeah. There was a Steelers lineman.

488
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:48,000
I'm trying to remember his name. Justin something. I think his last name ended in a K.

489
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:52,000
It's an Eastern European derivative kind of name.

490
00:33:52,000 --> 00:34:01,000
But he, uh, he I think was feeling the urge to kill his whole family.

491
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:07,000
I can't remember if he did or not. I remember he killed himself.

492
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:12,000
I think he killed himself. I think he broke down that he had the urge to kill his whole family.

493
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:19,000
So he went and took care of himself so he wouldn't. I don't know if that's how that ended. He kills Samoan.

494
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:29,000
Yeah. But good lord. All the brain hits that those guys take, it's just unsustainable.

495
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:34,000
At a certain point no one's going to want to do that anymore. It's like, yeah, the money's not worth it.

496
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:42,000
And they're just going to quit. So the NFL is going to have to change before that point to where you don't have these.

497
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:48,000
My god, how many players have been injured just the last couple of weeks and they're out for the season?

498
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,000
It's just they're dropping like flies.

499
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,000
The wide receivers are getting efficient.

500
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,000
Yeah, yeah, a lot of wide outs.

501
00:34:55,000 --> 00:35:00,000
The wide receivers, yeah, I mean look at just the chase, but who's the wide receiver that went down, uh...

502
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:05,000
Iuke, uh, went down with Lungs. Mike Evans.

503
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:09,000
Yeah, uh, Iude is out for the season, I think it was, uh...

504
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,000
Oh, Deebo had the Lungs.

505
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,000
Oh, Mike Evans was passing. Deebo had the Lungs.

506
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:14,000
Yeah.

507
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:18,000
Uh, yeah, Iude was out for the season, Deebo had the water and the Lungs.

508
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:25,000
But we'll get to that later because that right there speaks volumes about what was going on on that game.

509
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:31,000
It was much closer to the game's look, but we're going to add a little bit, or not closer, much further away than that game looked.

510
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:35,000
Yeah. All right, let's, uh, you ready to hit on?

511
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:36,000
Yes.

512
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:45,000
Okay, uh, Seattle at Atlanta, uh, Seattle won 34 to 14, uh, we both picked Atlanta.

513
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,000
I picked 27-13, you picked 24-14.

514
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,000
Ah, 10 passes.

515
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:58,000
Yeah, two picks, you know, he threw two interceptions, and that was kind of, I mean the stats are pretty good for Atlanta,

516
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:02,000
but those two interceptions kind of sealed the deal.

517
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:07,000
Well, we talked about this many times before, you can never trust a Kirk Kessler school.

518
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:08,000
Yeah.

519
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:15,000
Uh, all right, a great guy, very cool guy, really nice guy, very neat, very humble, loves his family,

520
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:19,000
the ideal person to want to live next to you, but not the guy to lead your team.

521
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:27,000
Yeah, he'd be the guy that you could completely trust to run your child's high school sports program,

522
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:36,000
because he's a decent, trustworthy, and honest kind of person, but as far as taking you all the way to the championship, et cetera,

523
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,000
he just doesn't have that kind of fire and drive.

524
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:40,000
No, I agree.

525
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:41,000
He's got some.

526
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:46,000
He's the kind of guy that goes, he goes head and nose most of your lawn, because he knows you're out of town.

527
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:47,000
Yeah.

528
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:48,000
He's that kind of guy.

529
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,000
Fantastic person, but they don't want it.

530
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,000
They don't want to run your football team because they take your system.

531
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:54,000
Yeah.

532
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:58,000
He'll wash two-thirds of your car.

533
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,000
Yeah.

534
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:04,000
Oh, that cousin's got me again.

535
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,000
Look at that.

536
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,000
Yeah, they're saying he sniffs the towel lines.

537
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:12,000
Yeah, I mean, he's a very good cousin.

538
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:17,000
That's why he's never really even sniffs the promised land, just because of that.

539
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:18,000
Yeah.

540
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:19,000
No kind of thing.

541
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,000
He's a gay and a Christian.

542
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,000
No one gets offended, would they?

543
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:27,000
But you know, for the NFL, it seems like Christians kind of go in with one hand tied behind their back.

544
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:35,000
It's so weird that in so many other parts of American culture, Christianity is looked at favorably.

545
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,000
It's like the desired thing.

546
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:41,000
But if you're a football player, it's like no one can stand it.

547
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,000
Well, pretty much ruined Tim Tebow, didn't it?

548
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:44,000
Yeah, yeah.

549
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:49,000
They just defined him as God Boy, or whatever the term they used.

550
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:54,000
And they just insinuated that he was always going to be wimping out.

551
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,000
He's going to want to shake their hand instead of hitting them.

552
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:58,000
Yeah.

553
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:04,000
So I don't understand how in football, suddenly Christianity is a detriment.

554
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:05,000
It's weird.

555
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:06,000
Well, there's some of the Holmes.

556
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,000
There's a Mahomes type, too.

557
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,000
And there's other ones I'm not even thinking about right now.

558
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:17,000
But they're the kind that are Christians, they don't come out there and they'll say fuck, and they'll say shit, and they'll scream at people and get into fights.

559
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:18,000
Yeah.

560
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,000
They're the French Christians, I guess.

561
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:22,000
I can't even call them that.

562
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:23,000
I don't know their faith.

563
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:24,000
Yeah.

564
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,000
Okay, but Mahomes is pretty, you know, he's a family man.

565
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:32,000
Same girlfriend, now his wife, all through his life.

566
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:38,000
Very stable, very intelligent individual, strong faith.

567
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,000
But he's not afraid to get his hands dirty.

568
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:41,000
Yeah.

569
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,000
So I think someone like that is okay.

570
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:52,000
And there's other ones, too, because I see them praying with him before a game, but they're the kind that'll come out and hit you in the face and call you a stupid fuck.

571
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:59,000
But they'll ridicule you, they'll flick their finger in your face, but at the same time, if you fall down into it, they're the first ones to pray for you.

572
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:00,000
Yeah.

573
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:05,000
So there's two different kinds, where Tico seems to be the kind of guy that's like him.

574
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,000
I don't think I want to hit that guy that hard.

575
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,000
Or at least he's pristine.

576
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:11,000
He's pristine like that.

577
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:21,000
Yeah, yeah, like in boxing, if your opponent has a cut over their eye, you're supposed to just start hammering that cut in that eye, because that's their weak spot.

578
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:27,000
But some guys are like, no, that's wrong, and I'm going to win honestly, and I'm not going to do it that way.

579
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,000
So it's a choice.

580
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,000
Yeah, I agree.

581
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:39,000
Yeah, in boxing, the weakness you see is where you go for it, and you keep pulling on that weakness until they come out from it.

582
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:52,000
And the NFL does that in a limited extent, like any time a corner gets injured and goes out and they bring in his back up, that's right who they throw to.

583
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:57,000
I mean, they test that corner right away, because that's the weak spot.

584
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:02,000
So it's part of the game, but there's a line.

585
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:15,000
Yeah, well it's just like right now, Herb is hammering on Travis Kelso because he's virtually, I mean, Murphy is still developing, very good player, but he's still developing, I know the office, and what do you do? You go after Kelso.

586
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:16,000
Yep.

587
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,000
You know, I mean, yeah.

588
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:18,000
He's getting bold.

589
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:22,000
Yeah, he is too, but I think he's going to be more of a playoff guy.

590
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:23,000
Playoffs?

591
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:24,000
Playoffs!

592
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:28,000
I think you're going to see him emerge later on in the year.

593
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,000
Yeah, true.

594
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:35,000
All right, next up on our list is Houston at Green Bay.

595
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,000
Green Bay wore those weird all-white uniforms.

596
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:42,000
They looked like a stick of spearmint gum, didn't they?

597
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:46,000
It looked like they should say, we're going to be on them.

598
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:47,000
Yes.

599
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:50,000
Yeah, I don't like those uniforms at all.

600
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:51,000
No.

601
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,000
How do they run with those uniforms? I'll go a step further.

602
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,000
How do you run with those uniforms? Don't you feel like a complete individual?

603
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:58,000
Really?

604
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,000
I mean, you wear one of those.

605
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:10,000
And I think the fans are catching on that all these alternate uniforms only exist because they want to sell us different versions of the same uniform over and over.

606
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:13,000
And I think people are kind of getting wise to that.

607
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,000
It's like, yeah, I already bought one of your jerseys.

608
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:20,000
I'm not buying four more just because you changed the colors every week.

609
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:21,000
I agree.

610
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,000
Yeah, especially with what they charge.

611
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:27,000
I don't think people are running out and getting a special design anymore.

612
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,000
First it worked, now people just don't care.

613
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,000
They're like, oh, another one? Whatever.

614
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:37,000
But it is the smart business thing for the NFL to do, is to keep trying and keep trying.

615
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:46,000
And even if people quit buying these alternate jerseys, maybe you'll come up with one in a couple weeks that really catches on and all of a sudden everyone's buying it.

616
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,000
So they're going to keep trying.

617
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:54,000
You're going to see some really weird jerseys out there because they're trying to figure out a way to get you to buy more.

618
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:58,000
Oh yeah, and they're constantly having people employed.

619
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,000
That's all they do.

620
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:01,000
Yeah.

621
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,000
So, yeah, and they do it very well.

622
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:08,000
So, I mean, you know, the NFL is a very smart lead the way it's ran.

623
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:09,000
Yeah.

624
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,000
Good bell, big of a pain in the ass as he can be.

625
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,000
He's doing things right. He's really expanding the lead.

626
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,000
He's making everybody a lot of money.

627
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:24,000
Yeah, yeah, I mean, you know, he's doing things that people may not necessarily like, but they work.

628
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:25,000
Yeah, true, true.

629
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:32,000
And, you know, if you were one of the owners of an NFL team, you'd be on Goodell's side because he's doing what you want.

630
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,000
So it's just a matter of perspective.

631
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:35,000
I mean, you know, we're the fans.

632
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:38,000
We're having to put up with all the crap he's coming up with.

633
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:43,000
But if you were an owner, you're like, hell yeah, let's get this guy over for dinner and thanking.

634
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:46,000
Yeah, well, yes, that's true, like the London Jaguars.

635
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:47,000
Yeah.

636
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:48,000
Yeah.

637
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,000
The London Jaguars, I like that.

638
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,000
The London Jaguars.

639
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,000
Yeah, because the Jaguar is a British car.

640
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:58,000
So yeah, yes, you got it.

641
00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:59,000
Yep. Great time.

642
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:02,000
All right. Anyway, we were talking about Green Bay and Houston.

643
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:07,000
Green Bay won on the last second field goal, 24-22.

644
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,000
We both picked Houston.

645
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,000
You were 27-24.

646
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,000
I was 28-17.

647
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:17,000
Houston is still having problems with tough defensive teams.

648
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,000
Yeah.

649
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:23,000
CJ Stroud was 10 of 21 for 86 yards.

650
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,000
That's it.

651
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:26,000
Yeah, that's it.

652
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:27,000
That's shutting down.

653
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:28,000
They do.

654
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,000
That is shutting down.

655
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:39,000
Like we were talking about and we both agreed with earlier in the year, they have a near and some paint on the sky.

656
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:48,000
Now it's up to the Houston offensive furbators and the head coach to figure out something to get this guy's original flare of his ass back before it ruins him.

657
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:49,000
Yeah.

658
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,000
It's a very time-sensitive issue.

659
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:55,000
It's going to be interesting because the guy has all the talent in the whole world.

660
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,000
You don't want to destroy him now.

661
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:00,000
They made bleeps and bounds the first year.

662
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,000
They got to the playoffs and won a game.

663
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:06,000
He was throwing these downfield passes that were dimes.

664
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:09,000
Yeah, you got to get that guy's confidence back to him.

665
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:12,000
Yeah, it looks to me like the edge rush kind of gets him pretty bad.

666
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:15,000
I don't think he's used to hearing footsteps behind him.

667
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:16,000
Yeah.

668
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:22,000
Well, Houston's leading receiver had one catch for 28 yards.

669
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:24,000
That is shutting down all the way.

670
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,000
It cannot happen.

671
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:27,000
Damn.

672
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,000
It cannot happen.

673
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:33,000
I know I sound like Webb Dawson when I say that, but yeah, you cannot have that.

674
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:34,000
Remember you did that?

675
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,000
We would get out there and on the game.

676
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:39,000
And as soon as he saw it coming, he'd go, you cannot have that.

677
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:42,000
He would get so indignant.

678
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:43,000
No, I loved it.

679
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,000
He didn't care if we missed off or whatever.

680
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:48,000
He would say it like it was.

681
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,000
He'd go, the quarterback cannot grow on his back.

682
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:57,000
Yeah, the later in his career he got as the radio guy, the more he told it like it is.

683
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,000
And boy, I miss that.

684
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,000
Because there's nothing but positivity now.

685
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:07,000
They say everybody kisses puppies and goes to church.

686
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,000
Everybody's an awesome, wonderful person.

687
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:12,000
It's like, I don't believe it.

688
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,000
Tell me the reality, please.

689
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:19,000
I think what would be wrong when he got older, when he wasn't so much a combinator,

690
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:23,000
but just a chiming guy, I think is what you call him, you know?

691
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,000
And he would have comments here and there.

692
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,000
He wouldn't even talk about people in practice.

693
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,000
But he wasn't mean about it.

694
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,000
No.

695
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:38,000
He would say, this guy in practice wasn't excessively productive or whatever.

696
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:42,000
He looked at well or something.

697
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:46,000
He would state what we didn't see.

698
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:52,000
Yeah, it wasn't the same old BS that coaches and players say at the press conferences

699
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,000
because they're trying not to say anything at all.

700
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:57,000
Len Dawson actually told you something.

701
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:00,000
Yeah, and he had nothing to prove to anybody.

702
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,000
And I loved it. It was great.

703
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:06,000
And another thing I loved was there was no bigger bad effect from the homes of Len Dawson.

704
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:10,000
Yeah, I'm glad they got to meet before Lenny passed.

705
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:11,000
I did too.

706
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,000
He was so jazzed about it.

707
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:16,000
He knew that this was the guy, and he was just so pumped.

708
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:21,000
I mean, he didn't care that he didn't want to be the last guy to win a Super Bowl in Kansas City.

709
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,000
He wanted to watch Kansas City win 30 of them.

710
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,000
That's kind of the guy he was.

711
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:26,000
Perfect guy.

712
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:28,000
And everyone I know that that is a gentleman.

713
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,000
Beautiful person.

714
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:41,000
When Montana came to Kansas City, Len Dawson would not un-retire his number for Montana to bear.

715
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:46,000
Because Len Dawson was 16 and Montana was 16.

716
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:51,000
I think Lenny Dawson would have un-retired his number if Patrick had wanted it.

717
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,000
That's how much he liked him.

718
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:56,000
Yes, I think there was a little bit of an ego with Montana.

719
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,000
I think Dawson was like, yeah, I'm not going to do it.

720
00:46:58,000 --> 00:46:59,000
Nope.

721
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,000
And I agree with him.

722
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:02,000
I agree with him.

723
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:03,000
Especially now.

724
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:04,000
Yeah.

725
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:09,000
You don't un-retire a number for some free agent who comes in at the last second of their career.

726
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:14,000
You do it for a franchise guy who's going to be there for a dozen years.

727
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:15,000
Yeah.

728
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:16,000
And it seems like this too.

729
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:20,000
I always put stuff together like I always talk about the Kesley Plain connection.

730
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:25,000
Okay, 15 and 16 were 88 and 87.

731
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,000
Or, high density.

732
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,000
Oh, yeah.

733
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:32,000
Two old-timers and two of the best of all.

734
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:34,000
Wow.

735
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:35,000
Cool.

736
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,000
Yeah, so that's me.

737
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,000
My fucked up mind.

738
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,000
Yeah.

739
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,000
All righty.

740
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:47,000
Let's go to Cincinnati at Cleveland.

741
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:52,000
The final score was Cincinnati 21-14.

742
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,000
I had picked 34-10.

743
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:57,000
You picked 20-19.

744
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:58,000
So you were closer.

745
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:02,000
It was a closer game than I predicted.

746
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:05,000
And this is going to be remembered.

747
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:08,000
I don't know why I even did that.

748
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:10,000
I can't remember my reasoning, but go ahead.

749
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,000
Yeah.

750
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:20,000
I think this is going to be remembered as the game that gave Cleveland a face-saving way to get out of the Deshaun Watson experiment.

751
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:21,000
They are.

752
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:24,000
This is going to be in bullet points, but they are under a lot of criticism.

753
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:28,000
It may be Deshaun Watson, but you can cheer a guy getting parted off the field.

754
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:31,000
It may be a career ending injury.

755
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:32,000
Yeah, yeah.

756
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:33,000
I've been seeing some things about that.

757
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:37,000
I've even heard one place replay the audio.

758
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,000
And it's like, that doesn't really sound like cheering.

759
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:41,000
That just sounds like normal crowd noise.

760
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:45,000
Well, maybe that's not the right clip then.

761
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:48,000
It may not be the right clip because there are a lot of criticism.

762
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:52,000
And the thing is, if you're going to be better than somebody, be better than.

763
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:53,000
You know what I mean?

764
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:59,000
And I'm talking about personally, as a person, as a personality, as kindness and love.

765
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:07,000
If you're going to be like, that guy is a bad guy because he did this, then don't cheer him when he's on the ground crying and his leg is almost empty.

766
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:11,000
Yeah, that's kind of a Philly fan thing to do.

767
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:13,000
Yes, you know what?

768
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:16,000
We may question your character, but we love you.

769
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,000
You're a person and we wish you the best.

770
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:19,000
Yeah.

771
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:21,000
He's almost dead.

772
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:22,000
Yay!

773
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:25,000
That's just kind of weird.

774
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:26,000
It is.

775
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:27,000
Oh yeah, yeah.

776
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:28,000
Yeah, put that down one machine.

777
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:29,000
Yeah, let him go.

778
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:32,000
Let him go.

779
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:35,000
Yeah, so anyhow, yeah, I mean, what more is there to say?

780
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,000
Cleveland is in a spiral.

781
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:40,000
They can never make the right decision after Mayfield.

782
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:43,000
We always said, you and I both were like, what did you think we said?

783
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,000
Mayfield got a wrong deal there.

784
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:46,000
He did.

785
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:50,000
He was injured and hard to throw because of his shoulder.

786
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:52,000
And they said, oh, horrible here.

787
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:53,000
And I'm like, what do you mean a horrible here?

788
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:55,000
He was out there when he should have been.

789
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:58,000
And he's doing really well in Tampa Bay.

790
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:01,000
He's not winning every game, but he's playing well.

791
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,000
No, I agree.

792
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,000
This is funny.

793
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,000
People are looking at me up here like I'm talking to myself.

794
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:08,000
It looks like it.

795
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,000
Yeah, but it looks like a different one else.

796
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:11,000
I am talking to myself.

797
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:14,000
Yeah.

798
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:21,000
Well, one bullet point I took away from the Cinti Cleveland game is nobody could run the ball.

799
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:27,000
Chase Brown got 15 carries for 44 yards.

800
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:32,000
And Cleveland's running back had three carries for 44 yards.

801
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:33,000
That was it.

802
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:36,000
Yeah, well, OK, here's what I got to say to that.

803
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:38,000
Joe Mixon isn't tearing it up either.

804
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:40,000
So Cincinnati had some cloth to pick up with.

805
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:44,000
Yeah.

806
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:46,000
Joe Mixon doesn't look very well down there either.

807
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,000
That's true.

808
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:52,000
Yeah, I don't think they had to answer running back, although it kind of looked like they did,

809
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:55,000
unless it is systems, but who knows?

810
00:50:55,000 --> 00:51:02,000
I know Cincinnati looked like the team to be for so long.

811
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:05,000
Now they look like the team to be.

812
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:07,000
Yeah.

813
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:15,000
They are really going in an awkward direction where they kind of lost their identity.

814
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:20,000
If they win, it's got to be by like 37 to 35.

815
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:21,000
Yeah.

816
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:22,000
Usually.

817
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:26,000
Yeah, Cleveland stopped them very well.

818
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:31,000
I mean, you know, people are thinking they were healing, that they have an easy schedule,

819
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:37,000
but now I'm not so sure because with an easy schedule, you have to be better than the other teams.

820
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:38,000
I'm not sure.

821
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:39,000
Yeah.

822
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:48,000
And, you know, they beat Cleveland by a touchdown, but it was on the back of them losing to Sean Watson.

823
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:57,000
And really, they should have won by three scores if they're the team that you want them to be.

824
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:00,000
I remember Cincinnati being a high scoring team.

825
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:02,000
I mean, they were never the grinded out kind of team.

826
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,000
They're always high scoring.

827
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:11,000
I know, and Joe Burrow is the kind of guy that would make that nine throw with the very end just to get it.

828
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:12,000
They go, OK, here we go.

829
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:13,000
Yeah.

830
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:18,000
Games on the line, Joe Cool out here, no big deal, watch this.

831
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:19,000
OK, there you go.

832
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:21,000
I'll see you guys next game.

833
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:22,000
Not so much now.

834
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:23,000
Not so much now.

835
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:24,000
Yeah.

836
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:25,000
We'll see.

837
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:29,000
I mean, they still have time to get better, but they do not look like the team of the past.

838
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:30,000
No.

839
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:31,000
With Joe Burrow.

840
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:32,000
With Joe Burrow.

841
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:33,000
Yeah.

842
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:34,000
With their lead.

843
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:35,000
All right.

844
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:37,000
Next up, we have Philly at New York Giants.

845
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:42,000
Man, Philly just went on cruise control, won 28-3.

846
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:44,000
We both got that ride.

847
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:47,000
I picked 24-13, you picked 32-27.

848
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:51,000
Neither one of us thought the Giants were going to score so little.

849
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,000
Yeah, I know.

850
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:56,000
The Giants are the Giants, I guess, at the end of the day, aren't they?

851
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:57,000
Yeah.

852
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:01,000
Saquon Barkley came back and just ran all over his former team.

853
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:02,000
Yeah.

854
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:03,000
I didn't put that in.

855
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:04,000
That's my fault.

856
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:05,000
I didn't put that in.

857
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:07,000
I didn't mean to be a separation.

858
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:08,000
Yeah, I didn't remember that either.

859
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:12,000
I don't have an action ride, but obviously he has something like that.

860
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:13,000
Yeah.

861
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:19,000
17 carries, 176 yards, so he's averaging 10 yards of carry.

862
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:20,000
Yeah.

863
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:26,000
Well, I think it speaks to the fact that Philly and Philly have served that great, that again,

864
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:29,000
the Giants took the start of that cruise.

865
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:30,000
Yeah.

866
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:33,000
And also, you got a guy that had an action ride, he was definitely grounded.

867
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:37,000
He took it to the heat now, but he had to go to the heat up.

868
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:41,000
Mediocre Dan Jones was 14 of 21 for 99 yards.

869
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:45,000
Oh, Daniel Jones, got the big contract, Daniel Jones?

870
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:46,000
Yeah.

871
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:47,000
Oh, him?

872
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:49,000
Didn't even break 100 yards.

873
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:50,000
Yeah.

874
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:51,000
Already did.

875
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:52,000
Yeah, him.

876
00:53:52,000 --> 00:54:01,000
But, Andy, how about I'll go into this later, because it seems like it's become a defensive

877
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:02,000
league again.

878
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:03,000
Yeah, that's true.

879
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:04,000
That's true.

880
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:09,000
I guess the last franchise quarterback the Giants had was Eli.

881
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:10,000
Mm-hmm.

882
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:12,000
And then before that, I can't...

883
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:14,000
Before Eli, it was with Phil Simms?

884
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:16,000
Was it that long ago?

885
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:21,000
Well, Eli wasn't exactly the best quarterback ever.

886
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:22,000
No, he didn't.

887
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:23,000
He played well, you know.

888
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:27,000
He got into the Hall of Fame, because on the back of those Super Bowls.

889
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:28,000
Yep, yeah.

890
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:31,000
Two Super Bowls and the manning name on the back.

891
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:32,000
Yeah.

892
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:34,000
And he beat Brady.

893
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:37,000
Yes, that was probably the biggest thing there.

894
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:39,000
But that was more of a Spagnolo.

895
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:40,000
That was a Spagnolo thing.

896
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:42,000
He did make some great throws.

897
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:43,000
Yeah.

898
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:49,000
Because Spagnolo, he countered Newton to England so well that he built the spike in the lead.

899
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:53,000
That was one of the few times I've seen Tom Brady in a Super Bowl look kind of confused

900
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:55,000
and not in the pen and lost.

901
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:56,000
Yeah.

902
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:59,000
But he's not a bad-done Super Bowl player.

903
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:00,000
You know what?

904
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:04,000
Because personally I'm wondering how long the Giants are just going to be in this holding

905
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:08,000
pattern of not being very good.

906
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:11,000
It's been a long time, hasn't it?

907
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:14,000
The GF, I think, is a lot of fans here.

908
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:15,000
Yeah.

909
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:20,000
And I think they start considering making some big changes in the front office.

910
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:22,000
I think this is what you're going to get.

911
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:24,000
Labyrinth Rinse for Pete.

912
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:25,000
Yeah.

913
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:30,000
So yeah, Philadelphia isn't necessarily that good.

914
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:34,000
They might make some playoffs, but I look for them again to keep estering in the playoffs

915
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:35,000
like last year.

916
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:37,000
Just kind of maybe one and done.

917
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:40,000
Or maybe it's just a little past the lesser team, but then that's it.

918
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:42,000
They hit the wall.

919
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:43,000
Yeah.

920
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:46,000
And I go ahead and I'm going to say this again.

921
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:47,000
Hurts.

922
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:50,000
Hurts is a guy waiting to be hurt.

923
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:51,000
Yeah.

924
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:52,000
No pun intended.

925
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:53,000
Yeah, okay.

926
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:55,000
I'm sorry.

927
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:58,000
Yeah, he looks like a broken leg in traction.

928
00:55:58,000 --> 00:55:59,000
Wait.

929
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:00,000
Yeah.

930
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:04,000
A guy his size cannot take that many chances.

931
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:05,000
I'm sorry.

932
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:06,000
Yeah, it's funny.

933
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:08,000
You and I both know it's going to be his legs.

934
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:10,000
I mean, not his shoulder, not his back.

935
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:11,000
It's going to be his legs.

936
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:13,000
It's going to be his legs, yeah.

937
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:18,000
And there's going to be a point in the season where you and I go, well, we discussed this

938
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:19,000
a few times now.

939
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:20,000
Yeah.

940
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:21,000
Look what happened.

941
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:26,000
I'm not saying we're brain-stirred, but I'm also saying we're not stupid asses.

942
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:27,000
Yes.

943
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:28,000
We pay a little bit of attention.

944
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:29,000
A little bit, yeah.

945
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:32,000
Not much, just enough to get us by.

946
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:37,000
All right, you ready to talk about the Raiders and the Rams?

947
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:40,000
Oh, the Raiders, what's his name?

948
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:51,000
David O. Pierce said he has figured out the way to beat the Holmes, he said this yesterday.

949
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:52,000
That guy.

950
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:53,000
That guy.

951
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:54,000
Oh, you've got some balls, Donnie.

952
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:55,000
Yeah, the Kermit the Frog people.

953
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:56,000
Oh, okay.

954
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:57,000
Yeah, let's talk about them.

955
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:00,000
Let's talk about them.

956
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:01,000
All righty.

957
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:05,000
Final score was 20 to 15.

958
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:06,000
Weird ass score.

959
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:10,000
You had the Rams 27-13, you had the Rams 22-14.

960
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:15,000
So, again, you were really, really close on predicting the score.

961
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:21,000
I don't know how I'm doing it, so I don't know how I am.

962
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:22,000
Let's see.

963
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:23,000
Look.

964
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:29,000
Yeah, it looked like a lot of field goals for the Raiders.

965
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:36,000
Gartner Minshew was less than 50% on his passing and threw three interceptions.

966
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:40,000
But Jack O'Neil, this is why he's a better quarterback.

967
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:45,000
They should do another commercial where he hits the fence.

968
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:49,000
You know, I could have sworn I heard they were going to start at O'Connell, but maybe

969
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:50,000
that was last week.

970
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:52,000
But they just keep going back and forth and back and forth.

971
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:56,000
Well, that's when the Bombs and Pierce should not be mouthing off like that when he can't

972
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:58,000
even figure out his quarterback.

973
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:05,000
Yeah, I remember a Royals season a few years back where the lineup changed pretty much

974
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:06,000
every game.

975
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:08,000
Yeah, that's the Raiders.

976
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:12,000
Yeah, and the Royals had a really bad season that year.

977
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:15,000
I remember that, yeah.

978
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:20,000
And then, you know, if the Raiders don't have anybody quarterback, then just pick one and

979
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:21,000
go with it.

980
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:24,000
Don't keep flip-flopping them back and forth.

981
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:29,000
Pick your sacrificial lamb and go further down the list.

982
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:34,000
And that screams of O'Connell.

983
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:39,000
You won't mention it, you'll back up to whoever your real guy is.

984
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:42,000
But O'Connell should be the bridge player, if you will.

985
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:45,000
The guy that he's not putting in any house.

986
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:47,000
So here, here's the job for four years.

987
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:48,000
Enjoy.

988
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:54,000
Yeah, it's weird.

989
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:56,000
I don't know what else there is to do.

990
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:58,000
In fact, Dad, I've been really interested to see the Chiefs Raiders game coming up.

991
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:00,000
Oh, yeah, that's going to be good.

992
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:06,000
There were no touchdown passes in the game between the Rams and the Raiders.

993
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:11,000
And let's see, the Chiefs defense is much better than the Rams defense.

994
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:12,000
Yeah.

995
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:18,000
Okay, I wonder how they play off beating the Holms with no touchdowns.

996
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:22,000
Oh, Stafford threw a pick and Minshew threw three picks.

997
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:24,000
Stafford looks like shit.

998
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:26,000
Yeah, he's not doing well.

999
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:30,000
He was 14 of 23, 154 yards.

1000
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:33,000
How old is Stafford now?

1001
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:36,000
Good question.

1002
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:41,000
He is 36.

1003
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:43,000
Okay, he might be descending.

1004
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:46,000
I don't know how well he keeps the Chiefs.

1005
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:48,000
Yeah.

1006
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:51,000
He might not be in very much offensive line projection.

1007
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:54,000
Projection two, that might be part of it, but still.

1008
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:56,000
Yeah.

1009
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:58,000
Yeah, I mean, we've got to play wiser when that happens.

1010
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:01,000
So, Stafford's just not having a good year.

1011
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:04,000
No, he's not.

1012
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:06,000
Is he like that one Super Bowl guy?

1013
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:07,000
God is God.

1014
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:08,000
I think so.

1015
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:10,000
I mean, that's the way it's looking.

1016
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:12,000
I'm having to move my equipment around a little bit.

1017
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:14,000
Sorry for the noise.

1018
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:20,000
I had used a table beside me, and I know my voice keeps cutting out when I turn to look at the display.

1019
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:22,000
I thought it was my blue jib.

1020
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:23,000
No, that was me.

1021
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:25,000
This is going to work a little better.

1022
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:27,000
It's free.

1023
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:31,000
Yeah, it took me until an hour into the podcast to figure it out.

1024
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:32,000
Sorry.

1025
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:36,000
That's our ammo when they're right back at home.

1026
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:37,000
Relax.

1027
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:38,000
Free.

1028
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:43,000
I'm sorry.

1029
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:44,000
All righty.

1030
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:45,000
Well, let's see.

1031
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:54,000
Looking over our predictions for this week, you predicted a lot of wide margins, and you were right a lot more often than I was.

1032
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:58,000
I was picking close scores, and I didn't do so well on that.

1033
01:00:58,000 --> 01:00:59,000
Our next one up.

1034
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:04,000
This is the time of year where the week can start to set in.

1035
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:05,000
Oh, yeah.

1036
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:06,000
I didn't take that into account.

1037
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:11,000
Yeah, the separation starts getting wider and wider from this point on.

1038
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:12,000
Yes.

1039
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:22,000
Yeah, and you start building traction November, end of October, and then December, you'll be going guns and blades if you're going to be a team that's going in vertical.

1040
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:23,000
Yeah.

1041
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:31,000
Well, up next we have Carolina and Washington, a tale of two different, very different teams.

1042
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:34,000
Final score was 40 to 7.

1043
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:37,000
You were very close at 35 to 10.

1044
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:43,000
I picked the winner 21-10, but I wasn't very close on the score.

1045
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:49,000
The interesting thing was, who was the guy that did this damage?

1046
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:50,000
It was not.

1047
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:52,000
It was not the new guy.

1048
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:54,000
It was not General Daniels.

1049
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:58,000
Daniels, he went out very early in the game.

1050
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:00,000
That's true.

1051
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:02,000
Yeah.

1052
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:05,000
The backup is the guy that did this.

1053
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:07,000
I can't think of his name right now.

1054
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:08,000
Marcus Mariota.

1055
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:10,000
Mariota, yeah.

1056
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:12,000
Mariota is the guy that did all the damage.

1057
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:14,000
It was not J. LeDaniel.

1058
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:20,000
Yeah, he was two touchdowns, 205 yards, 18 of 23.

1059
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:22,000
That's pretty good.

1060
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:23,000
Yeah, yeah.

1061
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:26,000
I mean, he come and he showed up.

1062
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:28,000
J. LeDaniel is all the way to status.

1063
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:31,000
Is he out or is he coming back?

1064
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:36,000
I'm trying to find her.

1065
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:40,000
Oops, that's not working.

1066
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:50,000
I'm already had my eyebrow raised because you already have an injury that took you out most of one game.

1067
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:52,000
Yeah, I'm not finding anything on J. LeDaniel right now.

1068
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:56,000
I can't use my phone because that's how I'm getting used.

1069
01:02:56,000 --> 01:03:02,000
I'm outside on a balcony and I can't see my phone very well and I'm wearing shades or Bluetooth.

1070
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:04,000
So, you know what, I hope you say that like that.

1071
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:06,000
We'll address it next week.

1072
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:08,000
But I've already raised my eyebrow.

1073
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:10,000
The guy is already out for most of one game.

1074
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:17,000
So, you know, I mean, there's been a lot of players that are supposed to beat the next guy and we were really high on him.

1075
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:20,000
Now, is he going to have an injury from career?

1076
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:22,000
Man, that would suck.

1077
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:24,000
Let's hope not because he's fun to watch.

1078
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:26,000
He is really fun to watch.

1079
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:27,000
I hope that's not the deal.

1080
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:30,000
Maybe that was a knock on him coming out of college by no one else.

1081
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:32,000
Oh, maybe so.

1082
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:40,000
Anyhow, that's remain to be seen but I've found it amazing that Marcus Murray-Oden has anything left to pick at at all.

1083
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:42,000
He's bounced around so much.

1084
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:43,000
It's amazing.

1085
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:46,000
I mean, that guy's been punching the face so many times.

1086
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:51,000
He's just bigger.

1087
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:54,000
You hear Andy Dalton's stats?

1088
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:57,000
Andy Dalton being Andy Dalton.

1089
01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:59,000
11 for 16.

1090
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:01,000
93 yards.

1091
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:03,000
Two interceptions.

1092
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:08,000
Okay, well that's where the 40 of the points probably came from right there at short field.

1093
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:12,000
But still, Murray-Oden took advantage of the short field too.

1094
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:14,000
So there's a lot to be said.

1095
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:19,000
Yeah, you get a short field but you still have to score.

1096
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:24,000
I don't really remember Andy Dalton throwing so many picks when he was a starter.

1097
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:26,000
No, he wasn't.

1098
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:28,000
Why don't you put in Young?

1099
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:29,000
Why don't you just put in Young?

1100
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:32,000
I don't think Young's hurting anything under the red rock.

1101
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:37,000
True, true.

1102
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:39,000
Yeah, I mean, okay.

1103
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:41,000
Logshting got away.

1104
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:42,000
He went back and forth bad.

1105
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:47,000
But I hope Dave Daniels comes back because I want them to win that division and go for it.

1106
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:49,000
Yeah, yeah.

1107
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:52,000
I mean, cowboys are basically giving up any chance.

1108
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:56,000
So the commanders might as well take the division.

1109
01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:57,000
Yeah, yeah.

1110
01:04:57,000 --> 01:04:58,000
They might as well take it.

1111
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:01,000
The cowboys are just sitting there going, here you want it?

1112
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:02,000
Yeah.

1113
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:05,000
Here.

1114
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:07,000
Well, here's a fun one we can talk about.

1115
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:10,000
Kansas City at San Francisco.

1116
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:13,000
Okay.

1117
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:16,000
Should I give them the one full of points right now since we're talking about it?

1118
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:18,000
Yeah, I think it's a good idea.

1119
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:20,000
Okay.

1120
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:25,000
Did Kansas City destroy the dynasty before it began?

1121
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:27,000
I think so.

1122
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:33,000
I think we saw this budding dynasty and we just kind of stomped it back into the ground.

1123
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:35,000
I think so too.

1124
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:39,000
And I also go back to something that Stephen A said.

1125
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:44,000
And he said there's a lot of quarterbacks that should have won rings that are not going to

1126
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:47,000
because they have a guy named Patrick Mahomes in the league.

1127
01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:48,000
Yeah.

1128
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:52,000
You could say the same thing about Elway and Brady.

1129
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:54,000
Exactly.

1130
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:58,000
A trade green probably could have won at least a championship game.

1131
01:05:58,000 --> 01:05:59,000
Yeah.

1132
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:02,000
But Brady from Super Bowl was for Brady and Manny.

1133
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:04,000
Yeah.

1134
01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:05,000
And Kirk Warner too.

1135
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:07,000
Yeah.

1136
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:12,000
So the same thing's kind of going on here.

1137
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:17,000
So yeah, but now we're in their head so bad that when we start kicking them they just

1138
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:18,000
fall down.

1139
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:19,000
Yeah.

1140
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:20,000
They fall down and they have no answer.

1141
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:22,000
They started losing their discipline.

1142
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:27,000
You know, the penalties started spiking up and they started looking like they weren't

1143
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:28,000
sure what was going on.

1144
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:30,000
They were just in disarray.

1145
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:32,000
I mean they got brought up.

1146
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:38,000
And I can say just with this, with the injury list, Iook is out for deceiving, torn MCL

1147
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:39,000
or ACL.

1148
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:42,000
The highest class I knew they didn't quite know was one or the other.

1149
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:43,000
It's torn.

1150
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:44,000
He's out for deceiving.

1151
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:45,000
Yeah.

1152
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:46,000
And then you have, was it Kittle?

1153
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:47,000
No, no, Samuel.

1154
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:48,000
They had Prudence once.

1155
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:51,000
He got hit so hard.

1156
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:52,000
Yeah.

1157
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:54,000
There was another wide receiver.

1158
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:56,000
I can't remember if it was this team or another.

1159
01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:57,000
They had a dislocated ankle.

1160
01:06:57,000 --> 01:07:00,000
They didn't show the replay because it was so ugly.

1161
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:01,000
Okay.

1162
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:02,000
Yeah.

1163
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:04,000
I can't remember who that was.

1164
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:06,000
I think that was a different team.

1165
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:09,000
It was just another wide receiver getting killed.

1166
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:12,000
Yeah, it was another wide receiver getting murdered.

1167
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:15,000
Okay, brought hurting through the interceptions.

1168
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:17,000
Not necessarily his fault.

1169
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:22,000
I mean, my God, what did he do when you have Carlos just come around the back and you could

1170
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:24,000
see his hands literally coming at you.

1171
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:25,000
Yeah.

1172
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:28,000
You see Chris Jones from the front with his hands up in the air.

1173
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:31,000
It's like a wall in the wall, a wall behind him, a wall in front of him.

1174
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:35,000
He was smothered, covered, destroyed defense and they had no, they had no idea what was

1175
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:36,000
going on.

1176
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:37,000
They had no answer for it at all.

1177
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:38,000
No, no.

1178
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:43,000
I mean, even McAffrey, I think the outcome would have been exactly the same.

1179
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:45,000
I think so, yeah.

1180
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:49,000
Yeah, I think that this team is in disarray.

1181
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:52,000
I think that you may not even see him in the playoffs this year.

1182
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:56,000
And like I said, I think the minus team may have been destroyed before it began.

1183
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:57,000
Yeah.

1184
01:07:57,000 --> 01:08:04,000
By the hands of Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes, Chris Jones, George Marlovis, Reid, all the

1185
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:05,000
other teams.

1186
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:07,000
And this is without luxurious team.

1187
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:10,000
Yeah, that's the fun part.

1188
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:11,000
Yeah.

1189
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:17,000
So we both agree that the Chiefs destroyed the 49ers' dynasty before it began.

1190
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:18,000
Okay.

1191
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:20,000
The Shanahan revolt has begun.

1192
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:26,000
Rock purty was being chewed out for five minutes at his locker.

1193
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:27,000
Wow.

1194
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:31,000
And the video came out because someone doesn't like Shanahan.

1195
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:32,000
Yeah.

1196
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:36,000
It has been a team personnel or a team player.

1197
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:37,000
Yeah, that's right.

1198
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:41,000
They were outraged by this and they posted it on X or Twitter.

1199
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:44,000
And then we haters came out.

1200
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:47,000
And obviously Shanahan has felt a lot of that role right now.

1201
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:51,000
One guy wrote, the Shanahan revolt about purty being chewed out.

1202
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:56,000
One guy wrote this, this guy is the same one who abandoned the run in the Falcon Super

1203
01:08:56,000 --> 01:09:00,000
Bowl 28-3 over the Patriots.

1204
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:01,000
Oh, yeah.

1205
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:06,000
And they were beating the hell out of 28-3, I believe, right?

1206
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:07,000
Yeah.

1207
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:11,000
And then he decided he was going to throw the whole seven half and guess who won?

1208
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:12,000
Yeah.

1209
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:14,000
He abandoned it.

1210
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:18,000
But there's so much more that people are writing about.

1211
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:23,000
They're saying about his game plan, about undisciplined team, about not knowing the

1212
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:29,000
rules of the overtime in the Super Bowl, about some of the questionable picks that they had,

1213
01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:33,000
about him ruling these people, misusing people.

1214
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:36,000
They revolted because people are not revolting against purty.

1215
01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:38,000
They're behind purty.

1216
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:42,000
Because purty is doing a good job still, even three interceptions, like I said.

1217
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:44,000
You can't throw the ball on your back.

1218
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:50,000
So, yeah, I mean, he did everything he could, and there's nothing he could really do.

1219
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:52,000
I mean, he's just getting the story at every angle.

1220
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:58,000
So, Shanahan, let's say Shanahan is not coming up with the right game plans, knowing how

1221
01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:01,000
to beat these people, and I think I agree with that.

1222
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:07,000
You know, I'm remembering the teams, Shanahan 49ers teams from a year, two, three ago,

1223
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:11,000
and they were working together.

1224
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:12,000
They were more efficient.

1225
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:14,000
They seemed to just have it together.

1226
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:16,000
Now they're a mess.

1227
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:17,000
They're dysfunctional.

1228
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:18,000
They're angry.

1229
01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:19,000
They're fighting.

1230
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:20,000
They're undisciplined.

1231
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:27,000
The coaches just really lost his control over the team, and too many of the players are

1232
01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:33,000
just acting on what they want to do instead of slavishly following the coach, which is

1233
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:36,000
kind of what you need them to do.

1234
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:39,000
I think there's a lot of dissent in the locker room.

1235
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:40,000
I think there's a lot of dissension.

1236
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:44,000
I think there's a lot of questions about the leadership there, and I think it's going

1237
01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:50,000
to continue, and very possibly we could be seeing the head of this almost next year.

1238
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:57,000
Yeah, all the stuff that was acceptable and you could deal with as long as you were winning

1239
01:10:57,000 --> 01:11:01,000
and making the playoffs, now that's all coming back to piss you off.

1240
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:02,000
It's like, you know what?

1241
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:06,000
This has been going on for three years, and now that we're losing, it really bugs me,

1242
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:08,000
and I'm going to get angry about it.

1243
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:10,000
Yeah, and also, here's the thing.

1244
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:16,000
I've got to admit, Shanahan, just a little bit here, it's got to be hard to come that

1245
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:19,000
close to two Super Bowls and lose both of them.

1246
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:20,000
That is true.

1247
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:22,000
That's got to be tough.

1248
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:28,000
It's got to rip your heart out, so I've got to give him a little bit of fluctuation there.

1249
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:34,000
But still, he has made some questionable decisions, and that 2-0-5-30 was bullshit.

1250
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:35,000
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

1251
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:37,000
Couldn't shoot out the offensive line.

1252
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:42,000
Couldn't shoot out the offensive line.

1253
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:45,000
So anyhow, anyhow, I mean, what's there to say?

1254
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:50,000
I mean, Kansas City keeps winning with basically one wide receiver.

1255
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:55,000
Yeah, Noah Gray was our leading receiver, four receptions for 66 yards.

1256
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:59,000
Wasn't even Kelsey, it was Noah Gray.

1257
01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:04,000
Noah Gray, and that's because Kelsey played triple team, which allowed Noah Gray to run

1258
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:06,000
free in the middle a couple of times, and he got him.

1259
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:07,000
Yeah.

1260
01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:12,000
One of these still looked good, he's developed in, I mean, what can you say about a team

1261
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:16,000
that pretty much plays anybody's game that they're playing to beat Samad.

1262
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:17,000
Yeah.

1263
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:23,000
I mean, you know, it's like, okay, well, I guess we're going to have a defensive team

1264
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:26,000
here, but then it just turned out to just be Kareem Hunt's show.

1265
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:30,000
Kareem Hunt and Matthew Fahome's making a big play when it counts.

1266
01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:32,000
That's true.

1267
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:34,000
Murthy got three for 19.

1268
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:37,000
Kelsey got four for 17.

1269
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:44,000
Well, he did much better than what it would appear because he was being followed so heavily.

1270
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:45,000
Yeah.

1271
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:49,000
Eight different receivers caught a path.

1272
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:52,000
Yep, well, there you go.

1273
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:56,000
I mean, it is what it is.

1274
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:59,000
I mean, the game wasn't close either.

1275
01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:03,000
They started taking away about two minutes before halftime.

1276
01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:08,000
You could see them starting to creep down to 49ers, you could see the doubt on their face.

1277
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:10,000
She was looking on her face like it's happening again.

1278
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:14,000
And about the third quarter, you could tell that this team was the team just waiting to lose.

1279
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:16,000
Yeah, yeah.

1280
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:23,000
Our MO a lot of times is we're down at halftime and then we come storming back.

1281
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:27,000
This time we were ahead at halftime and we just stayed ahead.

1282
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:37,000
Doesn't that tell you about a lot of the teams now and about what went on and how they feel and their psyche right there?

1283
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:40,000
That is the biggest indicator right there.

1284
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:46,000
They're just waiting for us to beat them.

1285
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:48,000
It sounds like it.

1286
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:54,000
We'll see what they do the rest of the year, but it doesn't look very promising.

1287
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:56,000
No.

1288
01:13:56,000 --> 01:14:00,000
It's kind of a weak division that the Niners are in.

1289
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:02,000
Nobody's really stepping up.

1290
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:04,000
I know they're going to make the playoffs.

1291
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:05,000
Playoffs?

1292
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:07,000
Playoffs?

1293
01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:14,000
But I don't see it getting past a team that's really well-oiled by the Lions.

1294
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:17,000
Or maybe the Minnesotans.

1295
01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:18,000
Yeah, yeah.

1296
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:21,000
Minnesotans are going to be the good ones.

1297
01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:23,000
Yeah, if you played them well, you probably should win.

1298
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:26,000
That's pretty much the long and short of it.

1299
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:31,000
Team Steel 6-0, the only undefeated team.

1300
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:33,000
I don't think they care about being undefeated.

1301
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:35,000
I think they care about the championships.

1302
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:40,000
I do expect them to lose coming up and it will probably be to a division rival.

1303
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:43,000
Oh yeah.

1304
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:44,000
That's my prediction.

1305
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:50,000
They're going to go in, make it lose two, make it three games because later on in the season, if they can have a lot, they will.

1306
01:14:50,000 --> 01:15:00,000
So if they haven't sealed up because they have a tiebreaker against some of the pivotal teams, now Buffalo's coming up.

1307
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:01,000
That's a wild card.

1308
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:10,000
If they can beat Buffalo, then they could probably stop three games before if they keep playing the way they are and let up on the panel and then let some people rest.

1309
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:15,000
So I think that Buffalo game, there's going to be a lot more into it than people think.

1310
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:24,000
Yeah, that would be alright if they're losing a game or two at the end of the season because they've got home field advantage wrapped up and it doesn't matter.

1311
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:27,000
I don't care about an undefeated season.

1312
01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:29,000
I just want another Super Bowl.

1313
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:35,000
I mean obviously they don't care about personal stats or anything except championships.

1314
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:38,000
I see last season.

1315
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:42,000
They're cooking a lot of bones since they had me out that last game that were not.

1316
01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:44,000
Because they often do the playoffs.

1317
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:46,000
Playoffs?

1318
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:52,000
Well that's probably something that the Chiefs talk about with new players coming in and free agents, etc.

1319
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:55,000
Around here, we just want to win.

1320
01:15:55,000 --> 01:16:01,000
Individual stats are going to get sacrificed if it makes us win.

1321
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:05,000
So if you're not okay with that, maybe we're not the team for you.

1322
01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:09,000
I'm sure they're talking about it right off the bat.

1323
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:14,000
Situational conversation I think is just like hiring someone for a job.

1324
01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:23,000
So okay, the guy second in charge has a different opinion and he's going around telling people that he doesn't think that you're correct on this.

1325
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:25,000
Stuff like that.

1326
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:27,000
Yeah.

1327
01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:32,000
Stuff that will indicate the person's mindset.

1328
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:34,000
Yeah.

1329
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:41,000
I think that's something a lot of people think should pick up, they tell it.

1330
01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:47,000
Yeah, we're kind of learning Deshaun Watson's mindset was all about Deshaun Watson.

1331
01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:50,000
When he said he was no longer going to run as the quarterback.

1332
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:53,000
And that was one of his big things is he was mobile and he was big.

1333
01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:57,000
But he's like, nah, I'm a quarterback. I don't do that anymore.

1334
01:16:57,000 --> 01:17:00,000
Well that's, he's not effective anymore either, is he?

1335
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:02,000
No.

1336
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:06,000
That's what made him effective was his legs. His legs made him effective.

1337
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:12,000
Yeah, but he just unilaterally decided on his own, I'm just not going to do that part of my game anymore.

1338
01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:15,000
To heck with the rest of the team and them counting on me.

1339
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:17,000
I just don't want to.

1340
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:19,000
I don't want to.

1341
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:21,000
Yeah.

1342
01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:27,000
Another thing is I think that he is so far in shame and debt.

1343
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:29,000
Yeah.

1344
01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:33,000
He probably goes home and looks at America, you piece of shit.

1345
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:35,000
Yeah.

1346
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:44,000
And you know at this point it would probably make better financial sense for him to just lose his NFL career, declare bankruptcy, and then start over.

1347
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:46,000
Rather than try to continue.

1348
01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:52,000
Yeah, if he tries to continue he's just going to be giving all that money away anyway because he owes everybody everything.

1349
01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:56,000
Yeah, that's what, yeah, I think the same as you. Just give it up.

1350
01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:58,000
He's an influence.

1351
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:04,000
He spends some time reflecting on the fact that he did this to himself and he could have prevented it.

1352
01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:09,000
Well, I mean he could be that guy or he also could be that guy. I didn't do anything wrong. They wanted to.

1353
01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:11,000
Yeah.

1354
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:15,000
It's everyone else's fault for not letting me get away with it.

1355
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:18,000
But honestly, yeah that's right.

1356
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:22,000
Honestly, do you see anyone else picking him up besides his name with Cleveland? I don't.

1357
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:26,000
No, no. Why would they?

1358
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:28,000
You don't need that.

1359
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:30,000
All that baggage.

1360
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:33,000
Yep. All right, we can go on to the next one I guess.

1361
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:40,000
All right, coming up we have the New York Jets at the Pittsburgh Squealers.

1362
01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:53,000
Okay, I really questioned Tomlin, Mike Tomlin about bringing in Russell Wilson and Justin Fields was training very well.

1363
01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:56,000
I still kind of scratched my head but it worked.

1364
01:18:56,000 --> 01:19:04,000
Yeah, yeah. I think Tomlin's response after the game was, see this is why I'm so well compensated. I know what I'm doing.

1365
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:08,000
Yes.

1366
01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:09,000
Anyway.

1367
01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:10,000
You can't hurt them.

1368
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:18,000
No, you can't. Steelers won 37 to 15. I had the Steelers winning 27-24 in overtime. That didn't work.

1369
01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:25,000
And you had the Jets winning 28-24. We thought Devonte Adams was going to make a splash.

1370
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:30,000
No, Aaron Rodgers looks like a washed up, hammered out piece of dog shit.

1371
01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:35,000
Yeah, a couple of bad interceptions.

1372
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:36,000
No running game to speak of.

1373
01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:47,000
I guess when you go out on the limb like that, when you go out on the limb like that and you pound your chest like that and you make a big scene like that and then when it doesn't work out, you really look foolish.

1374
01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:49,000
Yes.

1375
01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:56,000
Nobody likes him anymore. His legacy is pretty much destroyed. He found out to be a liar on several occasions.

1376
01:19:56,000 --> 01:20:04,000
Yeah, all of his weirdness is not really all that attractive when he's not kicking ass on the field.

1377
01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:13,000
When he's kicking ass on the field, you forget. You're like, okay, cool. He's doing it. Well, he's not winning. And he's looking bad. So, yeah.

1378
01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:22,000
There's a famous expression, everybody loves the slutty party girl until she pukes on your shoes and then she's just a pain in the ass.

1379
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:25,000
And that's exactly what's going on. I love that.

1380
01:20:25,000 --> 01:20:28,000
Yep. Aaron Rodgers is starting to puke on everybody's shoes.

1381
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:44,000
Yep. And therefore, he is getting ridiculed. He's getting pointed at. People are laughing at him. That's what you're going to get when, like I said earlier, when you put yourself out on the limb like that and you pump this and pound your chest.

1382
01:20:44,000 --> 01:20:46,000
That's what happens.

1383
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:58,000
And I mean, you know, he probably ought to retire after this year and go away quietly and take his trophy and put it somewhere where everybody can see.

1384
01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:12,000
You know, Aaron Rodgers was the biggest deal in Green Bay for a long time. And he got used to being the biggest deal in town. But in New York, he's not even close. And he never will be.

1385
01:21:12,000 --> 01:21:17,000
No, no, no, no, no, no. They have the Yankees now. They couldn't give a shit less.

1386
01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:30,000
Yeah. Now, it's like some guy who came in from another town to finish out his career here and we're supposed to all just jump on and love him. That's not really a New York thing.

1387
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:38,000
I agree. Another thing is this right here. And I've touched on this before and I think you have too.

1388
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:47,000
Okay, go back to Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers. And Aaron Rodgers just outraged the way Brett Favre treated him. He didn't teach him anything, he was mean to him, he didn't like him.

1389
01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:54,000
Well, now they're friends. But anyhow, he was outraged. And then they get Jordan Love and what did he do?

1390
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:55,000
Same thing.

1391
01:21:55,000 --> 01:21:57,000
He was going to be in Brett Favre and do Aaron Rodgers.

1392
01:21:57,000 --> 01:21:58,000
Yeah.

1393
01:21:58,000 --> 01:22:02,000
So if you're going to be outraged by that behavior, then well, better not ever do.

1394
01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:05,000
And then when he got to New York, he did it to Zach Wilson.

1395
01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:15,000
Okay. Robert Salab, we don't know the whole story on that, but I have a feeling Brett Favre had a little, or not Brett Favre, but Aaron Rodgers had a little bit to do that too probably.

1396
01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:27,000
Yeah. Did you just see Aaron Rodgers comment after the game? He said, yeah, man, the energy was just kind of flat. Nobody really seemed to be up for the game. I don't know what the deal was. Everyone was just kind of flat.

1397
01:22:27,000 --> 01:22:29,000
That's kind of like coach.

1398
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:36,000
Yes, exactly. It was pretty obvious that he was through.

1399
01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:40,000
Now we have a temporary coach.

1400
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:43,000
Yeah.

1401
01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:50,000
Yeah, he, I mean, actually, I'm not elated towards him just stepping down now. Let him start over.

1402
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:54,000
Yeah.

1403
01:22:54,000 --> 01:23:03,000
The Jets were stupid forever doing it. So they get what they get and Aaron Rodgers and Aaron Rodgers so he gets what he gets. So I guess it's all justice.

1404
01:23:03,000 --> 01:23:15,000
Yeah, yeah. I never really understood Aaron Rodgers going to the Jets. It's like you need more than just an Aaron Rodgers. And even though they've added a few more pieces, it's still not enough.

1405
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:21,000
I really thought that they added enough pieces, but now it's looking like the pieces that they added weren't the right ones. And I agree.

1406
01:23:21,000 --> 01:23:23,000
Yeah.

1407
01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:26,000
So, it was done.

1408
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:34,000
Not right. Aaron Rodgers is not the leader that some people thought he was, but we all, a lot of people have questions like you and I did.

1409
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:43,000
He's not the leader that you thought he was. It's showing. It's parlaying out. It is playing out in real time. And I think it's going to continue to be a shit show for the rest of the year.

1410
01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:59,000
Yeah, yeah. It's got to be tough. As an interim coach, you didn't go into the season thinking you were going to be running the organization. And now you've got to figure out how to use all these expensive pieces in your offense and defense.

1411
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:13,000
And they all have egos and they all want to be the star. And you've got to figure out how to use them all effectively and efficiently and try to beat the other team. And he's still running the defense. And yeah.

1412
01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:16,000
What a mess that would be for an interim coach.

1413
01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:27,000
Oh, I know. Yeah. If I was him, I would just be trying to show people that I have a race under pressure more than anything else.

1414
01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:30,000
Yeah, that would be a good tech. Yeah.

1415
01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:41,000
Yeah, we're like, look, we're doing everything we can. We have a lot of issues right now. I'm addressing everything if we can do something about everything else. We're trying to have a positive attitude. We're working hard to get better.

1416
01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:45,000
And that's it. That's all he's got to do. People will be like, we get it.

1417
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:48,000
Yeah, yeah.

1418
01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:52,000
So, yeah, this could be a very good thing for the interim. We'll see.

1419
01:24:52,000 --> 01:25:05,000
Yeah. With the Jets being two and five now, you know, they've got to start thinking realistically that we've got to build the team and win back the fan base and we're not making the postseason.

1420
01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:13,000
Yeah, but now they're stuck with Deontay Adams, too. They're stuck with him. And I'm not talking about him as a player. I'm talking about his half room.

1421
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:15,000
Yeah. Yeah.

1422
01:25:15,000 --> 01:25:22,000
Yeah. Well, you know what? I'm glad we're chiefs fans.

1423
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:28,000
Yeah. You know, I really don't see the Jets doing any better now that Deontay Adams is there.

1424
01:25:28,000 --> 01:25:33,000
Overall, I think they're going to have about the same season that they would have had without him.

1425
01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:37,000
The reason they got him is he was great over there in the lodgers.

1426
01:25:37,000 --> 01:25:39,000
Yeah.

1427
01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:45,000
Now three catches for 30 yards in his Jets debut.

1428
01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:47,000
Now they go have a beer together and talk about the loss, I guess.

1429
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:49,000
Yeah. Yeah.

1430
01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:50,000
All right.

1431
01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:57,000
Go to their darkness sweat lodge and they have an ayahuasca.

1432
01:25:57,000 --> 01:26:03,000
I wonder if they've both seen the little clockwork elves or whatever.

1433
01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:10,000
I think those of Deontay's into that stuff. Maybe he just hangs out and watches Aaron Rodgers trip balls.

1434
01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:13,000
That might be. It might be a shit show. Yeah.

1435
01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:18,000
Well, supposedly I read up on ayahuasca and heard different shows about it.

1436
01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:23,000
Hey, how supposedly everyone sees the same elves and stuff like that in it. So anyhow.

1437
01:26:23,000 --> 01:26:26,000
So anyway, these elves are busy. They are busy.

1438
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:30,000
Yeah? Making toys for Santa's workshop maybe?

1439
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:34,000
They don't get paid very much doing that. So they've got to be an ayahuasca elf too.

1440
01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:36,000
Yeah. They're moonlighting.

1441
01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:40,000
Yeah, they're moonlighting. It's kind of sad for the little guys.

1442
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:44,000
Yeah. They need a union, don't they?

1443
01:26:44,000 --> 01:26:48,000
Yeah, they do. They need an elves union.

1444
01:26:48,000 --> 01:26:53,000
They need to get a hold of their baseball. They need to get a hold of their union.

1445
01:26:53,000 --> 01:26:56,000
Yeah. There we go. Yeah.

1446
01:26:56,000 --> 01:27:00,000
Yeah, the elves will be assumed the small markets will be completely out of business.

1447
01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:05,000
Oh.

1448
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:09,000
We're excessively smart ass today because we're in vacation spots.

1449
01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:12,000
Yes, we are.

1450
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:15,000
And we also know it's going to sound like shit anyhow so we don't hear.

1451
01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:18,000
Yeah. But what do we say? It's free.

1452
01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:21,000
It's free. Yeah.

1453
01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:24,000
Alright. Let's go ahead and show the next game.

1454
01:27:24,000 --> 01:27:27,000
We had two Monday night football games.

1455
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:31,000
One was on broadcast TV. The other was on a streaming service.

1456
01:27:31,000 --> 01:27:37,000
Yeah, because I'm down here I didn't get to watch the one I wanted to watch because they don't have the streaming service.

1457
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:42,000
And the platter and flats are kind of screwed. I don't have it on my phone so I'm like, ehh.

1458
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:44,000
So anyhow, go ahead.

1459
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:47,000
Alright. The first one, Baltimore at Tampa Bay.

1460
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:52,000
Baltimore was an offensive juggernaut, 41 to 31.

1461
01:27:52,000 --> 01:27:55,000
And the game looked much closer than what it was.

1462
01:27:55,000 --> 01:28:00,000
Yeah, it really did. I got it wrong. I picked Tampa Bay 30-27.

1463
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:03,000
You got it right. You picked Baltimore 30 to 27.

1464
01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:08,000
So we had the same scores but you just picked the right one.

1465
01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:14,000
Yeah. And I didn't think Baltimore was going to trounce them so bad I have to admit.

1466
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:18,000
Yeah. They were just running downhill, weren't they?

1467
01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:24,000
I mean, five touchdowns for Lamar Jackson. Almost 170 yards for Derrick Henry.

1468
01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:31,000
Uh huh. Um. This is the template that they wanted.

1469
01:28:31,000 --> 01:28:33,000
Yeah. Yeah.

1470
01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:34,000
Are they there?

1471
01:28:34,000 --> 01:28:35,000
It looks like it.

1472
01:28:35,000 --> 01:28:36,000
Where is Tampa Bay not exit?

1473
01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:41,000
I mean, it looks like they're there. I mean, they looked so good all game long.

1474
01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:46,000
There was no let up. They were just an efficient machine.

1475
01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:51,000
It was kind of... I'm so glad the Chiefs have already played them in the regular season.

1476
01:28:51,000 --> 01:28:55,000
Because if we had to play them now it would be tough. Really tough.

1477
01:28:55,000 --> 01:29:03,000
If you ask me, the league kind of screwed them by putting them up against the people they lost during the championship game at their home right off the bat.

1478
01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:06,000
Yeah. I agree. So that could be looked at.

1479
01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:15,000
I'm sure when they saw that game, they weren't like cheering as get back. They're like, what the hell?

1480
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:21,000
We gotta play them there. Yeah. Anyhow.

1481
01:29:21,000 --> 01:29:22,000
If...

1482
01:29:22,000 --> 01:29:25,000
There's a board club we're going to on that too. So, anyhow.

1483
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:42,000
If you believe that the league is trying to influence games in the season, that would be a good way right off the bat to put Baltimore down behind the Chiefs and make them come back from behind.

1484
01:29:42,000 --> 01:29:47,000
So, it worked out really, really well for the Chiefs.

1485
01:29:47,000 --> 01:29:56,000
Which makes me wonder how much of it was just an accident of the schedule and how much was, oh, let's do this because it'll be exciting.

1486
01:29:56,000 --> 01:30:01,000
I think it's a little bit of both. I thought that they knew some of the repercussions of it.

1487
01:30:01,000 --> 01:30:08,000
But they also knew that the interest would outlay the why are they doing this.

1488
01:30:08,000 --> 01:30:15,000
Yeah. Yeah. I think when they found that the Chiefs and the Ravens were due to play each other, they're like, yeah, here we go.

1489
01:30:15,000 --> 01:30:24,000
First game of the season. Thursday night. Everybody watches. Ad Arrowhead reigning Super Bowl champs. Oh, yeah, we got to do that.

1490
01:30:24,000 --> 01:30:28,000
And Baltimore just got dragged along for the ride.

1491
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:38,000
Yeah. And like I said, I mean, I'm sure it was like, woohoo, we get to play these guys again. I'm sure it's like, oh, shit, what did they do to us?

1492
01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:45,000
You're like, oh, I fucking hate Arrowhead, man.

1493
01:30:45,000 --> 01:30:55,000
Yeah, because they were flat shut down. They only scored 10 points in that championship game. So, you know, I'm sure they were like, what the hell?

1494
01:30:55,000 --> 01:31:08,000
Yeah. So anyhow, worked out great for us. But yeah, Baltimore was out ahead big early and then Tampa Bay tried to make some comebacks, but you know, didn't didn't pan out.

1495
01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:13,000
There's some garbage time scoring. So, no biggie. Yeah, there was a lot of garbage time scoring.

1496
01:31:13,000 --> 01:31:20,000
And it actually kind of made it look like it was a close game, but it was anything but. Yeah. Yeah.

1497
01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:31,000
And then the second game was the Los Angeles Chargers at the Arizona Cardinals. Cardinals won 17 to 15.

1498
01:31:31,000 --> 01:31:40,000
You had picked the Chargers 17-10. I'd pick the Cardinals 23 to 17. Oh, you were not that far off.

1499
01:31:40,000 --> 01:31:53,000
Yeah. Kyler Murray looked pretty good. He ran for that big ass long touchdown.

1500
01:31:53,000 --> 01:32:00,000
Well, this is what they thought caught more of what Kyler Murray was going to be. They thought he was going to be a run guy setting up the pass.

1501
01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:10,000
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, he was only about 50% on his passes. One pick, one touchdown, 150 yards.

1502
01:32:10,000 --> 01:32:17,000
So it wasn't really like a stellar quarterback performance, but he did enough to win. Definitely.

1503
01:32:17,000 --> 01:32:23,000
Yeah. Hang on one second. I got a little business to discuss. Are you going to go to that shop?

1504
01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:30,000
Okay. Go ahead. If I got a bug out of this place and they come up knocking on the door, I'll just take everything down to the cars.

1505
01:32:30,000 --> 01:32:35,000
Okay. Yeah. Go ahead and take a shower because I don't know when they want us out. So. All right. All right.

1506
01:32:35,000 --> 01:32:50,000
Anyhow. Okay. Where were we? Kyler Murray is doing okay stat-wise, but he did all the things they needed him to do to win.

1507
01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:56,000
Yeah. And this is the guy they thought they were going to get. And it looks like they're kind of they got rid of Kingsbury.

1508
01:32:56,000 --> 01:33:02,000
So I think maybe this they're going a little bit more towards what they thought they were going to do.

1509
01:33:02,000 --> 01:33:06,000
Yeah. That'd be odd if Kingsbury was the problem all along.

1510
01:33:06,000 --> 01:33:14,000
Well, I mean, there's something about these coaches that come from the college playing type of team.

1511
01:33:14,000 --> 01:33:23,000
And I can go to the homes on this. Everyone was wrong, though, but the homes is what work is still not good, but he's doing it.

1512
01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:28,000
Yeah. Kyler Murray had a lot of he had a lot of flaws, too, but he had a lot of success.

1513
01:33:28,000 --> 01:33:34,000
He was just in the way where you got to play with what he does, just like the chiefs play with what the homes does.

1514
01:33:34,000 --> 01:33:41,000
True. True. I think that there may have been some of that tried to make him something that he wasn't.

1515
01:33:41,000 --> 01:33:44,000
And now they're kind of like, OK, we think we got it now.

1516
01:33:44,000 --> 01:33:49,000
We're going to have to do the approach games like this and let him run first.

1517
01:33:49,000 --> 01:33:53,000
And then if he makes a big pass, great. If not, then we're going to live for another day.

1518
01:33:53,000 --> 01:33:57,000
Yeah. And also the defense is better, too.

1519
01:33:57,000 --> 01:34:02,000
So that's. Oh, yeah. I mean, Justin Herbert actually had a decent game passing.

1520
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:10,000
He was three fifty yards, twenty seven to thirty nine. But no no touchdowns.

1521
01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:13,000
I had that kind of surprise me with no touchdowns deal.

1522
01:34:13,000 --> 01:34:16,000
But you know what? I mean, they're doing pretty well the way they're doing it.

1523
01:34:16,000 --> 01:34:18,000
So why not just keep going? Yeah.

1524
01:34:18,000 --> 01:34:22,000
Not much of a running game for Los Angeles this this week.

1525
01:34:22,000 --> 01:34:27,000
They're like, what was it? Forty yards for Dobbins.

1526
01:34:27,000 --> 01:34:31,000
So they couldn't they couldn't run on Arizona. They could pass all over the place.

1527
01:34:31,000 --> 01:34:37,000
They just couldn't get it into the end zone. Yeah. Yeah, that's true.

1528
01:34:37,000 --> 01:34:43,000
Yeah. Well, I kind of look for Arizona to keep keep on the pace that they're doing.

1529
01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:46,000
And I think they're going to continue a little bit better an inch at a time.

1530
01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:50,000
And I think they're going to keep Kyler Murray there because kind of speculated

1531
01:34:50,000 --> 01:34:52,000
whether they're going to keep him there or not.

1532
01:34:52,000 --> 01:34:56,000
I think they're going to keep him there and they're going to try to do the original assessment of Bill.

1533
01:34:56,000 --> 01:35:02,000
Yeah, that makes sense. I think Kyler Murray's definitely got a place there.

1534
01:35:02,000 --> 01:35:09,000
He needs some improvement in some areas, but he's he's not someone you don't start over.

1535
01:35:09,000 --> 01:35:15,000
No, no, no. I think there's enough there to work with. Yeah.

1536
01:35:15,000 --> 01:35:18,000
OK, is that the end of the games? That was it.

1537
01:35:18,000 --> 01:35:25,000
So we were both 10 and five on our picks. OK. Not so bad. Not so bad.

1538
01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:28,000
That's not so bad. It's pretty good. Yeah.

1539
01:35:28,000 --> 01:35:32,000
OK, well, I guess we'll go into bullet points. That sounds good.

1540
01:35:32,000 --> 01:35:37,000
All right. Let me let me take just a little pause for the cause if you don't mind.

1541
01:35:37,000 --> 01:35:41,000
No, go ahead. And we're back.

1542
01:35:41,000 --> 01:35:49,000
OK, bullet points. Does the NFL have a responsibility to come up with rough and the passer guidelines?

1543
01:35:49,000 --> 01:35:57,000
Yeah. Yeah, they need to have something concrete that everyone can know exactly what they can and can't do.

1544
01:35:57,000 --> 01:36:04,000
I agree because you have a bunch of people that are running in there for the kill and they have to soften up.

1545
01:36:04,000 --> 01:36:08,000
And then the quarterback makes a play that they probably shouldn't have played if the guy didn't know.

1546
01:36:08,000 --> 01:36:12,000
You know what I mean? Yeah. It doesn't seem to quite know how to go about sacking this guy.

1547
01:36:12,000 --> 01:36:18,000
So there's that hesitation, which gives a quarterback that's good like Mahomes or someone like that,

1548
01:36:18,000 --> 01:36:24,000
that extra advantage of Lamar Jackson or somebody to run or to throw that with hands.

1549
01:36:24,000 --> 01:36:29,000
I think there needs to be some definite guidelines and they need to stick to them.

1550
01:36:29,000 --> 01:36:35,000
One odd thing I saw from last week's games, there was a quarterback who was running and he was past the line of scrimmage.

1551
01:36:35,000 --> 01:36:38,000
So now he was a ball carrier, not a quarterback.

1552
01:36:38,000 --> 01:36:42,000
And somebody hit him to tackle him and hit him helmet to helmet.

1553
01:36:42,000 --> 01:36:48,000
And on the replay, they said, oh, well, see, that's OK, because the quarterback rules don't apply.

1554
01:36:48,000 --> 01:36:52,000
He's like a running back. I thought that was still fricking helmet to helmet.

1555
01:36:52,000 --> 01:36:55,000
And you're just going to... I know it. It was so odd.

1556
01:36:55,000 --> 01:37:02,000
It's like, am I in an alternate universe where they never put in the rule about helmet to helmet contact?

1557
01:37:02,000 --> 01:37:09,000
Yeah. No, I saw that same play and I'm sitting there going, that has nothing to do with the price of tea in China.

1558
01:37:09,000 --> 01:37:15,000
It has nothing to do with nothing. It's a foul. Helmet to helmet is a foul on anybody.

1559
01:37:15,000 --> 01:37:22,000
And the weird thing was both commentators were completely on board with helmet to helmet, who cares?

1560
01:37:22,000 --> 01:37:28,000
And the crowd didn't even react. Or if they did, they dubbed in different audio.

1561
01:37:28,000 --> 01:37:32,000
It looked to me like the crowd didn't even notice.

1562
01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:35,000
Yeah. It was just such an odd moment.

1563
01:37:35,000 --> 01:37:44,000
That's funny. You and I saw the same play and thought the exact same thing, which indicates to me that everybody else they're watching on TV thought the same thing too.

1564
01:37:44,000 --> 01:37:48,000
Yeah. Yeah, that was a stupid remark.

1565
01:37:48,000 --> 01:37:51,000
I don't get it.

1566
01:37:51,000 --> 01:37:52,000
I don't either.

1567
01:37:52,000 --> 01:37:58,000
Alright. This year they have opened a lot of heavy, popular, important games right off the start of the season.

1568
01:37:58,000 --> 01:38:03,000
Is this wise? And we just went into a little bit of that.

1569
01:38:03,000 --> 01:38:14,000
Well, you know, it's not unwise, because late in the season they always make sure to have division games that have a lot of playoff implications.

1570
01:38:14,000 --> 01:38:28,000
So maybe putting the big heavy games earlier in the season is to ramp up the excitement then and then try to keep it going all season long instead of waiting until the end to have a big spike in interest.

1571
01:38:28,000 --> 01:38:44,000
To me, it's brilliant. It's brilliant. And the reason is because everything you just said, you're going to have games later on that need something just out of just coincidence and also division games and also the games that can't be accounted for.

1572
01:38:44,000 --> 01:38:49,000
You know, like if this team beats this team, this team wins, you know, they'll be in the lead.

1573
01:38:49,000 --> 01:39:03,000
You know, there's so much of that going on at the end of the season. Like, let's say the Chiefs and the Ravens are in a statistical tie and the Chiefs are playing the Commanders and the Ravens are playing the Fills.

1574
01:39:03,000 --> 01:39:10,000
And they're both going to be very tough games. And they each have to win to stay in the driver's seat.

1575
01:39:10,000 --> 01:39:13,000
Those are games that come up later that cannot even be predicted.

1576
01:39:13,000 --> 01:39:14,000
True, true.

1577
01:39:14,000 --> 01:39:23,000
I think it's brilliant that they put these marquee games at the first because who was going to miss that rematch of the AFC Championship game that was just such a real nut-tucker.

1578
01:39:23,000 --> 01:39:26,000
No kidding.

1579
01:39:26,000 --> 01:39:44,000
Yeah, and then you put the second AFC Championship game on the second game of the season. And that was, you know, the second, not the second game, but the second week. And that would be Zanatti and Kansas City.

1580
01:39:44,000 --> 01:39:48,000
Yeah, they recreated the Chiefs' playoff drive.

1581
01:39:48,000 --> 01:40:03,000
Yeah, which is brilliant because what did you have on those? You had Jackson Magic, you had Mahomes Magic, you had Burrow Magic, you had Mahome Back. I mean, it was the perfect opportunity to do that in the season.

1582
01:40:03,000 --> 01:40:11,000
Yeah. This is what, year two of the partnership with Gambling for the NFL?

1583
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:12,000
Yes.

1584
01:40:12,000 --> 01:40:22,000
They're still going to do some experimentation to see how they can change the season and the schedules around to make the gambling part better.

1585
01:40:22,000 --> 01:40:34,000
So I don't think they're done tinkering with things. I think we're going to get more changes, some subtle, some large, but it's all going to be aimed at maximizing the gambling opportunities.

1586
01:40:34,000 --> 01:40:38,000
Yeah, that's going to continue and they're doing it well.

1587
01:40:38,000 --> 01:40:39,000
Yeah.

1588
01:40:39,000 --> 01:40:46,000
Okay, we talked about storied rivalries in the NFL and the best ones, all right?

1589
01:40:46,000 --> 01:40:55,000
Right now, currently, who do you see as the best rivalries? Currently. I mean, just right now, this year.

1590
01:40:55,000 --> 01:40:58,000
Casey Baltimore.

1591
01:40:58,000 --> 01:41:00,000
Bingo.

1592
01:41:00,000 --> 01:41:03,000
Rolls. Rolls Baltimore.

1593
01:41:03,000 --> 01:41:08,000
Yeah, yeah. I'm trying to come up with an NFC one.

1594
01:41:08,000 --> 01:41:13,000
I say probably the Commanders and the Eagles.

1595
01:41:13,000 --> 01:41:23,000
Yeah, yeah. Chicago Detroit is going to be more meaningful than Chicago Green Bay this year, I think.

1596
01:41:23,000 --> 01:41:33,000
Yes. I think that those are great examples and those are probably some of the best. And also, virtually the Chiefs against any other division leader.

1597
01:41:33,000 --> 01:41:40,000
Yeah, pretty much. We've made a lot of rivals in the last five years.

1598
01:41:40,000 --> 01:41:47,000
Yeah, I know. We have. And we have to look at everybody like that, too, because everybody wants to knock the big guy off the shelf.

1599
01:41:47,000 --> 01:41:50,000
And that's what's happening.

1600
01:41:50,000 --> 01:42:03,000
Okay. Will the NFL suffer backlash from the old school fans due to the new popular appearances of celebrities like Taylor Swift? And there's others, too, but that's the most notable.

1601
01:42:03,000 --> 01:42:10,000
Yes. I think they're going to experience backlash, but I don't think they're going to do anything about it. They're not going to care.

1602
01:42:10,000 --> 01:42:16,000
The fans that they kind of gain or are buying the jerseys will much outweigh the old fashioned band that's like 75.

1603
01:42:16,000 --> 01:42:18,000
Yeah. Yeah.

1604
01:42:18,000 --> 01:42:22,000
He's not buying a jersey. He's drinking foot supply and cussing.

1605
01:42:22,000 --> 01:42:31,000
Yeah. I mean, a fan like me, I'm 63. And I much preferred the football from the 70s and 80s than what we got now.

1606
01:42:31,000 --> 01:42:41,000
And my opinion is never going to change. So I'm going to be disregarded, basically, because football is going in a certain direction.

1607
01:42:41,000 --> 01:42:51,000
And if I'm not willing to hang in there and keep up and go along, then they'll replace me. And that's what businesses do. I get it.

1608
01:42:51,000 --> 01:42:56,000
So I think, yeah, they're going to get backlash, but they're not going to care.

1609
01:42:56,000 --> 01:43:05,000
I'll also add a step to that. Okay. I care. But if the chiefs weren't so dominant, I probably wouldn't care nearly as much because the rule changes.

1610
01:43:05,000 --> 01:43:08,000
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. When?

1611
01:43:08,000 --> 01:43:11,000
I like people's gold.

1612
01:43:11,000 --> 01:43:22,000
Well, I think when the chiefs dynasty that we currently have fades away, it's going to be tough for me to keep watching football.

1613
01:43:22,000 --> 01:43:23,000
The same here.

1614
01:43:23,000 --> 01:43:37,000
Yeah. It just it's changing every year and it's not really the game I fell in love with. So at some point I'll watch my last football game and say, yeah, that's it. I'm done.

1615
01:43:37,000 --> 01:43:45,000
Yeah. And that's going to have to do with the chiefs and their dominance. I mean, once we start looking a little bit more mortal, I'm not going to be quite as interested.

1616
01:43:45,000 --> 01:43:52,000
Then once we lose my homes and other read and other key elements, probably I'm not going to be nearly as interested in it.

1617
01:43:52,000 --> 01:44:02,000
So, yeah, you're going to have these young up and comers that are, you know, they're going to figure out a way to incorporate more celebrities into it.

1618
01:44:02,000 --> 01:44:07,000
I'm sure. Yeah. Because everybody's thinking, oh, well, this is working out for them.

1619
01:44:07,000 --> 01:44:19,000
Here's a little side note. Think of the sport of horse racing. It would not exist at all without gambling. Gambling is such an integral part.

1620
01:44:19,000 --> 01:44:26,000
It's like horse racing and gambling have to exist simultaneously or horse racing wouldn't exist.

1621
01:44:26,000 --> 01:44:29,000
Horse racing would be non-existent without gambling.

1622
01:44:29,000 --> 01:44:38,000
And I think football is going that direction. I think football is going to turn into the kind of thing that just is there to be a gambling opportunity.

1623
01:44:38,000 --> 01:44:45,000
And that's about it. I agree. And the only reason people have a rooting interest is because of money.

1624
01:44:45,000 --> 01:44:54,000
Boxing is sort of that way. But still, when you have boxing, you get you get champions of various boxing organizations.

1625
01:44:54,000 --> 01:45:02,000
So you get, you know, a champion in this weight class champion, that weight class horse racing is like, who cares?

1626
01:45:02,000 --> 01:45:07,000
You know, it's just there's another race coming up. Who cares? Who won the last race? Let's just move on.

1627
01:45:07,000 --> 01:45:14,000
Well, there's a chopper coming up over the big hill there. I can't quite see him yet.

1628
01:45:14,000 --> 01:45:19,000
Somebody from Fort Lost in the I mean, Fort Leonard Woods.

1629
01:45:19,000 --> 01:45:24,000
Fort Lost in the Woods. Airwise, I'm sure we're not that far away from them.

1630
01:45:24,000 --> 01:45:37,000
No, not really. Yeah. Okay. Tom Brayden, I'm an reporter for the NFL team. Good or bad?

1631
01:45:37,000 --> 01:45:40,000
I think it's bad. I think too.

1632
01:45:40,000 --> 01:45:46,000
Primarily because it has now put a severe kink in his broadcasting career.

1633
01:45:46,000 --> 01:45:56,000
There are things he can't say, talk about, address because he's a part owner of another team and that would be taken as promotion.

1634
01:45:56,000 --> 01:46:03,000
I read up on that and he is limited on a lot of things now, which sucks because he was really starting to become his own.

1635
01:46:03,000 --> 01:46:11,000
Yeah, yeah. It's just a shame that ownership is the Raiders. Are you part ownership of the Raiders?

1636
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:16,000
Because that's probably the only team that was interested in selling part of themselves.

1637
01:46:16,000 --> 01:46:19,000
Yeah, they had to try to spruce up their image somehow.

1638
01:46:19,000 --> 01:46:26,000
Yeah. But, oh man, he had just started his broadcasting career and now he's severely handicapped.

1639
01:46:26,000 --> 01:46:29,000
I wonder if the network is pissed.

1640
01:46:29,000 --> 01:46:31,000
Oh, I would think so. I would think so.

1641
01:46:31,000 --> 01:46:38,000
They're paying for this guy without any ties. They're not paying for this guy with all these ties.

1642
01:46:38,000 --> 01:46:44,000
Man, it's just a really surprising move on my part and yeah, I think it's a bad idea.

1643
01:46:44,000 --> 01:46:46,000
I do too.

1644
01:46:46,000 --> 01:46:49,000
He should do one or the other, but not both. I'll put it that way.

1645
01:46:49,000 --> 01:46:52,000
Not both. I agree 100%.

1646
01:46:52,000 --> 01:46:57,000
Next one. Whose leg is Skittnark Bolas humping currently?

1647
01:46:57,000 --> 01:47:09,000
Um, God, maybe Shannon Sharps. Yeah, Shannon Sharps. Yeah, that's it.

1648
01:47:09,000 --> 01:47:13,000
Is he still humping Zach Prescott's leg?

1649
01:47:13,000 --> 01:47:15,000
No, no, no. He's off of his stick.

1650
01:47:15,000 --> 01:47:17,000
He's off him.

1651
01:47:17,000 --> 01:47:22,000
Oh yeah, he abandoned him. Oh my God, he could not run further away from him.

1652
01:47:22,000 --> 01:47:25,000
After all the wonderful things he said about him, now he just turns his back.

1653
01:47:25,000 --> 01:47:29,000
He owes Zach a sorry card.

1654
01:47:29,000 --> 01:47:31,000
Yeah.

1655
01:47:31,000 --> 01:47:33,000
And a Bolligbee card.

1656
01:47:33,000 --> 01:47:40,000
Anyhow, okay, there's discussions about finally putting Pete Rose in the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame.

1657
01:47:40,000 --> 01:47:44,000
Good? About time? Or too late? Why now?

1658
01:47:44,000 --> 01:47:49,000
Um, I think probably about time.

1659
01:47:49,000 --> 01:47:50,000
Me too.

1660
01:47:50,000 --> 01:48:03,000
Again, because gambling has become so much more accepted and part of the game that Pete Rose now looks like somebody who was just ahead of his time instead of some guy who was corrupt and damaging the game.

1661
01:48:03,000 --> 01:48:13,000
It gets me like this, okay. They knew they were going to probably put him in, but they waited until he died. What kind of logic is that?

1662
01:48:13,000 --> 01:48:21,000
Just one more middle finger that the Major League Baseball gave to Pete Rose.

1663
01:48:21,000 --> 01:48:24,000
To me, it's just another black mark against baseball.

1664
01:48:24,000 --> 01:48:38,000
Yeah, yeah. It was just another way to punish him for the mess they put baseball through and all the years they had to talk about it and deal with it and clean up the mess. They're like, screw that guy. We're going to wait until he's dead.

1665
01:48:38,000 --> 01:48:40,000
Yeah, I agree and it's bullshit.

1666
01:48:40,000 --> 01:48:41,000
It is.

1667
01:48:41,000 --> 01:48:47,000
The next one and the last one are, are certain franchises cursed?

1668
01:48:47,000 --> 01:48:50,000
Yeah, I think so. I think so.

1669
01:48:50,000 --> 01:48:52,000
Me too. Me too.

1670
01:48:52,000 --> 01:48:59,000
Yeah, pretty much the way you say that. I mean, I think the proof's in the pudding, isn't it?

1671
01:48:59,000 --> 01:49:14,000
Yeah. It's not always just bad management or bad ownership or poor drafts or tough opponents. Sometimes the franchise itself, you just know they're going to do nothing.

1672
01:49:14,000 --> 01:49:23,000
Yeah, yeah. I agree with that. There's so many different... everybody can think of a team that's cursed.

1673
01:49:23,000 --> 01:49:29,000
Jack DeVille obviously is. I mean, there's a lot of them that are cursed and that's just the way it is.

1674
01:49:29,000 --> 01:49:35,000
Washington was cursed until they managed to get an exorcism going and got Dan Snyder out.

1675
01:49:35,000 --> 01:49:36,000
And now they look great.

1676
01:49:36,000 --> 01:49:39,000
Yeah, that lifted the curse definitely.

1677
01:49:39,000 --> 01:49:45,000
No better justice than getting an idiot like that out of there and doing well.

1678
01:49:45,000 --> 01:49:54,000
Before we end this podcast right here, I want to go into our next show after the NFL season, The Music Creeps, right?

1679
01:49:54,000 --> 01:49:56,000
Yeah.

1680
01:49:56,000 --> 01:50:02,000
Okay, I've got this segment on there that I'm really stoked about and it's called Alternate Universe Vans.

1681
01:50:02,000 --> 01:50:04,000
Oh.

1682
01:50:04,000 --> 01:50:12,000
Yes, and I'm going to give you an introduction to it right now. And I just want this right here on this podcast, we can listen back to it and see how it sounds.

1683
01:50:12,000 --> 01:50:22,000
Okay. Alternate Universe is a band that is like another band that comes up with songs like the other band did. You see what I'm saying?

1684
01:50:22,000 --> 01:50:23,000
Yeah.

1685
01:50:23,000 --> 01:50:28,000
Okay. So are you familiar with the band Nashville Pussy?

1686
01:50:28,000 --> 01:50:30,000
No, I don't think I am.

1687
01:50:30,000 --> 01:50:32,000
Oh, okay. Well...

1688
01:50:32,000 --> 01:50:33,000
Sorry.

1689
01:50:33,000 --> 01:50:40,000
Okay. Well, I was going to call them the Memphis Meat Flaps.

1690
01:50:40,000 --> 01:50:54,000
They're a big hit. They're claimed to fame with a song called Fried Chicken and Coffee and I was going to call it Pork Tenderloin and Tea.

1691
01:50:54,000 --> 01:50:56,000
I like this.

1692
01:50:56,000 --> 01:51:01,000
Do you see what I'm doing with this?

1693
01:51:01,000 --> 01:51:09,000
I just want to hear how this sounds on a podcast because this is one of the regular features I envision us doing. What do you think, Saul?

1694
01:51:09,000 --> 01:51:11,000
Oh, I like it. I like it.

1695
01:51:11,000 --> 01:51:20,000
I do too. So, alright. Let's go ahead and shut this bitch down because I'm not sure whether they'll kick us out and get on to the next podcast. That sound good?

1696
01:51:20,000 --> 01:51:22,000
That sounds good.

1697
01:51:22,000 --> 01:51:25,000
Alright.

1698
01:51:25,000 --> 01:51:32,000
Good thing this abortion is free. Who the hell would pay a dime for this shit?

1699
01:51:32,000 --> 01:51:42,000
Did you really sit down and listen to all that garbage they were spitting? Do you actually believe one inch of it? I didn't think so. Hang on. Game over.
