1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,000 Recorded live from the historic river market area in downtown Kansas City proper near the banks of the crystal blue waters of the Missouri River 2 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,000 We give you the sports basket 3 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,000 The sports bastards the only sports show with gusto 4 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,000 That's right. I said gusto just like Schlitz beer 5 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,000 Google it 6 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,000 Harambe used to love talking sports 7 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,000 Harambe does not talk sports anymore 8 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,000 Why you might ask? 9 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,000 Harambe he was senselessly murdered 10 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:47,000 He was murdered because some idiot could not watch their children properly while watching their phone 11 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,000 Sadly Harambe does not talk sports anymore 12 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,000 Sorry Harambe 13 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:59,000 Hey all this is Mark and I am with the sports bastards of course 14 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:06,000 I'm just kind of piecemealing the stuff together there are some family help things going on and 15 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,000 Rob and Tofer both having the same issue within their family 16 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,000 So I'm kind of trying to be the constant to keep the same going 17 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,000 I think Rob and I are getting together Wednesday night and doing a new douchebags 18 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:27,000 And tell everything clears up and Harambe can get back on the right track again 19 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,000 This is what you're going to have, you're going to have a solo cast 20 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,000 So if you hate me, you know not to listen to anything and have sports 21 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:38,000 So anyhow I'd like to go into this 22 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,000 I think number one 23 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:46,000 I think the chiefs need to forfeit the game endeavor and call it a tribute to Jamar Chase 24 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,000 Then he would have more reason to win all offseason 25 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,000 Yep, that would be great 26 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,000 So also check this out too 27 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:03,000 And it seems as though the elite teams this year have made statement games in week 17 28 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,000 So let's start off, here's what I mean by this 29 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,000 Let's start off Christmas Day 30 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:15,000 The chiefs absolutely destroyed the Steelers in their own Heinz field 31 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,000 That's right, that's right 32 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,000 Hunts beat Heinz that day 33 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:27,000 Probably not any other day, but that day they did 34 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,000 And yeah, I'm referring to ketchup, of course 35 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:36,000 The Ravens ran over the Texans and gave up only two points 36 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:41,000 And that occurred from a safety, not the offense, not that the offense can score two points 37 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:47,000 So it was essentially a shutout except for that one great defensive play 38 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:52,000 So that is an elite performance from probably one of the elite teams this year 39 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:57,000 That's what I would think at least, you know 40 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,000 Then so, alright, after that 41 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:06,000 Let's fast forward to two games on Sunday, last Sunday 42 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,000 The Eagles embarrassed the Cowboys 43 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,000 And the Bills kicked the asses off the Jets 44 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,000 I know the Jets are the Jets 45 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,000 And Aaron Rodgers is probably washed up, but still 46 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:26,000 They completely tore up the Jets' defense and held them to minimal offense 47 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:33,000 So to me that is something to be noted, that is something to take note, write down and pencil down 48 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:38,000 And go, alright, you know, these guys are starting to come on pretty strong 49 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,000 And I know that the Bills defense has been shoddy this year 50 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,000 And they are apt to give it up points 51 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:56,000 So I'll put it like this, I don't think there's going to be a whole lot of 35 points in this year's playoffs in the NFC or the NFC 52 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,000 I don't think so 53 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,000 I think it's going to go back to what it usually does 54 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,000 And it means great defense usually wins these games 55 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:08,000 But if there is a shootout, I'd like to say this to all the fans 56 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:16,000 Now this is if the Bengals get in, and this is for Josh Allen or any one of these guys that can throw the ball to Marjaxon 57 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:22,000 If anyone came up to me and I wasn't from Kansas City and I wasn't a Chiefs fan, they said, alright 58 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,000 Who would you pick to win a shootout? 59 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,000 You tell me, Patrick Mahomes versus Josh Allen 60 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:35,000 Patrick Mahomes versus Lamar Jackson 61 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,000 I picked Mahomes, Patrick Mahomes versus Joe Burrow 62 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,000 I picked Mahomes 63 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,000 All of these 64 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:50,000 And this is because of the whole body of work 65 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:58,000 So the body of work would tell me that Patrick Mahomes would have the edge on all of these 66 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,000 And that is because of the been there, done that 67 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,000 And sure, anybody can figure out a way to beat a team 68 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,000 You can scheme, you can just have one up on that day 69 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,000 You can make a couple of critical plays 70 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:15,000 But generally, I would say if someone held a gun in my head and said, you got to pick the winner 71 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,000 Otherwise, you know, you're no more 72 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,000 I would definitely pick Patrick Mahomes 73 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,000 And that is because of the body of work and the magic that he can do 74 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,000 I mean, I'm not saying the other ones are talented or not talented 75 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,000 They're extremely talented 76 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,000 But what I'm saying is they're not Patrick Mahomes 77 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:38,000 So anyhow, I got some other things that I would like to get to here 78 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:43,000 So it appears as Zach Taylor, this is the head coach of these Cincinnati Bengals 79 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,000 Who have an outside chance of getting on the playoffs 80 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,000 Playoffs 81 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,000 But everything has to go their way 82 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:57,000 Exactly their way, there's only one formula for them to get into the playoffs 83 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,000 It's very narrow, but it's not impossible 84 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:05,000 But Zach Taylor went out on a limb a few days ago 85 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:12,000 And he said that, you know, that Joe Burrow was the best quarterback in the world 86 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:19,000 He, I would think, knows better than that 87 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:27,000 If he doesn't, then I don't think he's much of a head coach 88 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,000 He's not much at all, if that's what he really thinks 89 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,000 I think that Zach Taylor may be in a little bit of hot water 90 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,000 Because the team just went to shit 91 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:40,000 And now they're trying to scramble and get traction and make the playoffs 92 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:47,000 But like I said, it's a very, very narrow path to get there 93 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,000 It's not impossible, but if they don't get there 94 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,000 I think Zach Taylor is probably on the hot seat 95 00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:00,000 So he was over there bragging up Joe Burrow saying he's the best in the world and everything 96 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:05,000 And I don't think he really believes that, but if he does, like I said 97 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,000 I'm giving him way too much credit, I guess, then 98 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,000 If that's really what he believes, I think he knows better 99 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,000 And I think his mouth is saying something that his ass knows better 100 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,000 Or vice versa, whatever 101 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,000 So anyhow 102 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:24,000 Or Zach Taylor is trying to get Joe Burrow into stay 103 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,000 Because he might see the writing on the wall 104 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,000 Joe Burrow looks very unhappy 105 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,000 He does not look like he fits in there 106 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:40,000 He does not look like he thinks this team is anything that's ever going to challenge for a championship 107 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:44,000 And he looks like a defeated guy that may want to go somewhere else 108 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,000 That might have a better coach, a better game plan, a better cast of characters 109 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,000 So maybe it's a little bit of both 110 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,000 Maybe he's afraid of getting let go because of their record 111 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,000 And possibly missing the playoffs 112 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:04,000 Or maybe he thinks Joe Burrow is going to try to exit 113 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,000 And he's trying to give him a little pat on the ass and rub his belly and go 114 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,000 Hey, we really love you, man, you're the best ever 115 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:16,000 All of that will remain to be seen because this is all speculation 116 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,000 It's just me noticing some things and trying to read into him 117 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,000 It could be nothing, he could just be saying that 118 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,000 He could really believe that 119 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:29,000 So anyhow, that's my take, if you will, on that 120 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:34,000 So we go back to how I say defense 121 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:39,000 Defense is usually what wins championships 122 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,000 There have been some shootouts, a couple years ago 123 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,000 The Chiefs against the Eagles ended up being a shootout 124 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,000 38 to 35, but generally they've not been shootouts 125 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,000 Generally they have been defensive battles 126 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,000 Turnovers, interceptions, what have you, okay? 127 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,000 I mean, this has happened quite a bit in the recent Super Bowls 128 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:08,000 So we're going to find this out next Sunday night 129 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:15,000 Because the NFL brilliantly flexed the Vikings' Lions game to Sunday night 130 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:21,000 So it will be the only game remaining in the regular season 131 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:29,000 And it will be between probably, I believe whoever wins this gets the crown 132 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,000 They get the conference championship 133 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,000 Or, you know, what I'm saying is they get the number one seed 134 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:41,000 And the other one has to be a wild card team because they're both in the same division 135 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:46,000 So I go back to what I said about defense is winning championships 136 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,000 Minnesota's defense is brutal 137 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:54,000 Sam Darnold has been really good 138 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,000 They've been playing very well as a team 139 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,000 And I'm telling you, we're going to see right here 140 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,000 And I'll tell you what, if I'm wrong, I'll get on here next show 141 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,000 And say, you know what, I was completely wrong 142 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,000 Detroit is the real deal and they are lethal 143 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,000 But this is how I feel about this 144 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:19,000 And I mean, I think it's not really a big secret about this 145 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,000 I mean, people have been saying this for a long time and noticing it 146 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:27,000 That defense is the key to championships generally 147 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:31,000 Now, to every rule, there's exceptions, yes 148 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:38,000 But we'll see, let's see who gets the home field advantage 149 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,000 And let's see if, let's see 150 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:50,000 I'm going to say, if the Vikings hold Detroit to under 24 points 151 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,000 Then their defense is one 152 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,000 And they should win the game 153 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,000 That's what I'm saying right now 154 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,000 Because Detroit is not widely known as a defensive team 155 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,000 They give up a lot of points 156 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,000 And all they've been doing is winning shootouts 157 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,000 With their system and their trickery plays with Jared Goff 158 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,000 And some of the fast people that they have in their lineup 159 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,000 So this is going to be interesting to see 160 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,000 I'm hoping to post this before the game is played 161 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,000 Suddenly, I think I will 162 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,000 So you guys will hear this ahead of time 163 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,000 And know that I made the prediction 164 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,000 So I'm going to say that defense wins championships 165 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:31,000 And I'm going to say that the defensive battle is going to be won by the Vikings 166 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,000 And so is the game 167 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,000 So that's my out on the limb prediction 168 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,000 And we'll see if I'm right 169 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,000 And another little side note I find extremely hilarious 170 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,000 Is this right here 171 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:49,000 Cincinnati has to root for the Chiefs this coming Sunday 172 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,000 That's right, they're going to have to root for the Chiefs 173 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:57,000 Because if the Chiefs win, they go to the playoffs 174 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:02,000 And if the Chiefs lose, they don't go to the playoffs 175 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,000 Because then Denver will have one game lead on them 176 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:10,000 But if they're in a tie, they won the tiebreaker last week 177 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,000 Against Denver 178 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,000 So this is going to be interesting because Kansas City's taking all their starters out 179 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,000 But I don't think that they plan on losing 180 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:24,000 I think that their opponents are faceless 181 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,000 I think that their opponents are all opponents 182 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,000 And I think that their identity is they don't care 183 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,000 They don't care if you bring Cincinnati 184 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,000 They don't care if you bring Buffalo 185 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,000 They don't care if you bring Detroit 186 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,000 They don't care who you bring 187 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:42,000 They are going to play them hard and they will usually come out on top 188 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,000 They don't care who you play 189 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,000 So they're not going to go, well Cincinnati traditionally plays this tough 190 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,000 They're going to look at them and go, who cares? 191 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,000 We're going to beat this team with our backups 192 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,000 We're going to send them home packing 193 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,000 And then, Nanny, come on over 194 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,000 We invite you, come on over 195 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,000 Come on over to Arrowhead 196 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,000 You know where you've been losing lately? 197 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,000 Yeah, that Arrowhead? Yeah 198 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,000 Come on over to Arrowhead 199 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,000 We'll show you 200 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,000 So, I think it's funny though 201 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,000 So Cincinnati, enjoy rooting for us 202 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,000 He he he 203 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,000 Also, I know I'm scooting along pretty 204 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,000 Pretty rapid pace on all these stuff 205 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,000 But I don't have somebody to banter with right now 206 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,000 So that's just the way it's going to go 207 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,000 I hope you enjoy it like this 208 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,000 But this is a format it's going to have to be for right now 209 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,000 Tom Brady made his pick for who's going to win 210 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,000 And he's not stupid 211 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,000 He's going for the three-peat 212 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,000 He picked Kansas City 213 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,000 He knows a lot about football 214 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,000 He knows what he's talking about 215 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,000 And he sees a team that's consistently winning 216 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:53,000 It doesn't matter whether it's a blowout, a tight game, or anything 217 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:57,000 Defensive, shootout, doesn't matter 218 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:02,000 If the Chiefs are involved, they have usually been winning most of the time 219 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,000 Probably about 98% of the time is not better 220 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,000 So Tom Brady's no fool 221 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:13,000 And he said that and he knows what he's talking about 222 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,000 So I'm kind of like saying this right here 223 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,000 To all the haters and naysayers 224 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,000 Go ahead and prepare yourself 225 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:24,000 When we get that three-peat, maybe it won't hurt as bad 226 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,000 Right? 227 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,000 Admit greatness and get better 228 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,000 That's what I've been talking about 229 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:37,000 Better yet, use the greatness as an example 230 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,000 And mold yourself around the greatness 231 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,000 Find out what makes that person great 232 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,000 Find out what they do 233 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,000 Find out their mindset 234 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,000 Find out what you need to be number one 235 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:54,000 People like Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reed and Steve Spagnolo 236 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,000 And all the cast and people, all of them 237 00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:01,000 I mean, there's too many very talented players to even start going into their names 238 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,000 Find out what makes them great 239 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,000 Find out their mindset 240 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,000 And do your own thing being great 241 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,000 Instead of motherfucking the guy on top 242 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,000 Instead of always, you know 243 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,000 I remember when Mahomes was a sexy pick 244 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,000 About four years ago, everybody heard this new guy Mahomes 245 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,000 And they're tired of the old guy Brady 246 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,000 And everyone was going, oh my god, I just hope this Mahomes guy wins 247 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,000 He's so nice 248 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,000 So over the past three, four years 249 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,000 Because Mahomes has consistently been winning 250 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,000 And the Chiefs have consistently been winning 251 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,000 Now all of a sudden they're the bad guys 252 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,000 They're the new Patriots 253 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,000 And this is the way humans work in general 254 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,000 And this, I do believe, at least somewhat true 255 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:47,000 If not very, you know, almost all the way true 256 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,000 Is you prop someone up 257 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,000 Because you know you're eventually going to cut them down 258 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:58,000 So it's like, oh yeah, yeah, Mahomes is great 259 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,000 Oh my god, look at this guy, look at this guy, oh my gosh 260 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,000 And then after he's been there a few times 261 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,000 He gets tired of hearing his name 262 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,000 All of a sudden it's like, oh, the guy's a phony 263 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,000 Now there's no way, now he doesn't have that much talent 264 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,000 These other quarterbacks are clearly better than him 265 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:18,000 If you like to fool yourself, okay 266 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,000 But I think me saying this, and if you hear this 267 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,000 You know I'm right 268 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,000 So anyhow, like I said 269 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,000 Mold yourself after the greatness 270 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,000 Do your own thing and become great yourself 271 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,000 Find your notch, don't settle for mediocre 272 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,000 Don't settle for kind of good 273 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,000 Don't settle, be the best 274 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,000 And celebrate the best 275 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,000 Celebrate the best with them knowing that you are going to be the best 276 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,000 As well 277 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,000 I've got a little example of what I'm talking about right here 278 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:55,000 Okay, I am not the best broadcaster in the whole world 279 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,000 Or podcaster, whatever this thing is 280 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,000 Okay, and I know this 281 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:06,000 But I continually listen to people that I admire 282 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,000 Whether it's old shows, new shows, whatever 283 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,000 I listen to how they do things 284 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:16,000 And I try to come up with my own thing 285 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:21,000 That is somewhat, you know, that is somewhat 286 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,000 Not what they're doing, I'm not trying to copy 287 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,000 I'm trying to come up with my own thing 288 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,000 By celebrating their greatness and recognizing their greatness 289 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,000 And I think that's a good thing because like I said before 290 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,000 Our douchebag twine and all that is more of what we really do 291 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,000 This isn't, this is a solo cast 292 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,000 I don't have a guy to go ha-ha with me 293 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,000 But I always try to temper myself after that 294 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,000 And I think I'm getting better 295 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:51,000 Because I consciously try to always do better 296 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,000 And to try to become the best I can at it 297 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,000 Or hopefully even great 298 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,000 But on this podcast level, how are you going to know if you're great 299 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,000 Because there's like 30 million of them 300 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,000 And okay, let's say you got a following of 30,000 people 301 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:09,000 So, it doesn't matter, not on a podcast scale 302 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,000 I mean, you know, only people are getting millions and millions of hits 303 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,000 Or making anything at all 304 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,000 But I'm not even looking at making money 305 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,000 All I want to do is have a little fun 306 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,000 And spread a little fun around, make people think 307 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:25,000 And enjoy myself, I make my money elsewhere, I'm fine 308 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:29,000 And this doesn't cost so much to where it prohibits my lifestyle 309 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,000 Or anything 310 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,000 So, I mean, why not do it? 311 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,000 Why not try to do it the best you can? 312 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,000 I know that I have primitive tools that I work with 313 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,000 And I know that I primarily just have me 314 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,000 Now that I can use other voices, it really helps 315 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,000 But, you know, I mean, try to understand 316 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,000 I mean, you know, I think the humor in it's good 317 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,000 And I have some great humor 318 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,000 It's just not well produced 319 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:55,000 But there's nothing I can really do about that until they come up with something 320 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,000 That I could do right here from the Talk Is Cheap Studio 321 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,000 That sounds more professional 322 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,000 This is what it is 323 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,000 And there probably is some stuff out there 324 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,000 I just don't know what it is because I have not been down that route 325 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:16,000 So, okay, I've worked at places before where we're coming up on the holidays, okay? 326 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,000 And there might be a day or two left 327 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:23,000 But you've got everything done and they come out and they're like, hey, you know what, guys? 328 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,000 There's really nothing for us to do, we swept up 329 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,000 We've got everything out, they're supposed to go out this year 330 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,000 So, hey, here's your checks 331 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,000 Take a couple extra days off, here's your pay 332 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,000 Thank you, guys, for doing a hard job 333 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,000 This is a little thank you to you guys, have a great week 334 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,000 Well, I think the NFL should do the same thing on some of these games 335 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,000 And I'll read off some of these games 336 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,000 I think the NFL should just like call them both up and go, hey, guys 337 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,000 Can you swing by the office here? 338 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,000 We've got a little something for you 339 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,000 And we don't want you to play the last game 340 00:19:54,000 --> 00:20:01,000 Here's your end of the year bonus or whatever it is for grueling the season or whatever 341 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,000 And don't play 342 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:08,000 So, okay, let's see, the first one here I have 343 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:14,000 Saturday, January 4th, it's Browns vs. the Ravens 344 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,000 I don't know if the Ravens are locked in or not 345 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,000 I think the Ravens are not quite locked in on what they're going to be 346 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,000 So that would be a game that you would want to play 347 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:30,000 The next game on the docket Saturday, January 4th, the Bengals vs. the Steelers 348 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:34,000 That is a game you would need to play 349 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:40,000 The Panthers vs. the Valkyries 350 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:45,000 That would be a game that you would need to play 351 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:50,000 So, next, the Texans vs. the Titans 352 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:54,000 That game, I would tell them both, go home, here's your check, have a great day 353 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:58,000 I don't think that the Texans can move up any 354 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:02,000 And really, I mean, you know, it's like, nah, don't even bother 355 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,000 Just go ahead, go home 356 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,000 The Texans, of course, you're going to be in the playoffs 357 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,000 Titans, go ahead and book your trips 358 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,000 The next one, the Giants vs. the Eagles 359 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:18,000 The Eagles are still trying to get the best spot they can 360 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:23,000 I don't think they're locked in, so I think that game needs to be played 361 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,000 The next one, Jaguars vs. the Colts 362 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:31,000 That's a game that you tell them, get the fuck out of here, go 363 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,000 Here is your check, thank you 364 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:37,000 I tried to draft a little bit better this year 365 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:42,000 Maybe hire a couple of people that are competent 366 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,000 But I don't think that gets the fuck out of my office, here's your check 367 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:50,000 Okay, the next one, the Commanders vs. the Cowboys 368 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:55,000 I think the Commanders still have something to play for 369 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,000 The Cowboys, of course, do not 370 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,000 So, of course, that needs to be played 371 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,000 The Cowboys vs. Packers, why? 372 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,000 The Packers are a wildcard team 373 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,000 Because they just can't keep up with the big dogs 374 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,000 They're a good team, but there's no reason this game should be played at all 375 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,000 It's not going to make any difference or locked in 376 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:21,000 So, give them their check, tell them to get the fuck out 377 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:25,000 Saints vs. Bucks, that's going to have to be played 378 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,000 Because the Buccaneers could seal the division by winning 379 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,000 The Hawkins, depends on what they do against the Panthers 380 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,000 I mean, they're both playing Tomato Cans 381 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,000 So, we'll see what happens with that 382 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:40,000 Alright, then the Bills vs. Patriots, no 383 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:47,000 The Bills are in the playoffs, and they're locked in at number two 384 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,000 Send them home, tell them to get the fuck out of here 385 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,000 Well, actually, you know what? 386 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,000 Josh Allen ain't going to play any house, what am I saying? 387 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:59,000 I'm going to go ahead and say, yeah, you know what? 388 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,000 Send them packing, all of them 389 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,000 Tell them to go ahead and book their trips 390 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:07,000 Don't need ya, have a great afternoon, whatever 391 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:12,000 Alright, next one would be Chargers and the Raiders 392 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:16,000 The Chargers are in the playoffs, and I don't think they could change any 393 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,000 And the Raiders suck ass, bye 394 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,000 Here's your check, get the fuck out 395 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,000 Chargers, you're going to have to come back in a week and prove yourself 396 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,000 Other than that, Raiders, get out of here 397 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:31,000 49ers vs. Cardinals, that's a big no 398 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,000 Both of you teams, get the fuck out of here 399 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:38,000 Go try to figure things out, go, you know, go scratch your head 400 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:42,000 Go look around, take in the night air, think about life 401 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,000 Kick a can around, whatever you got to do 402 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:50,000 Come back in a better mindset, figure this shit out 403 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,000 Chase vs. Broncos 404 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:57,000 Well, of course this game has to be played 405 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:03,000 So, yeah, the Chiefs are locked in, number one 406 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:07,000 Broncos could get a playoff spot if they win 407 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:13,000 Or it could be handed over to the Bengals if the Broncos lose 408 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,000 So that has to be played 409 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:23,000 And that's Sunday, June 5th, 325, Seahawks at Rams 410 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,000 The Rams, I believe, are locked in 411 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,000 So, that's game, tear it up, burn it down 412 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:34,000 Dolphins at Jets, who gives a shit, tear it down 413 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,000 They're not going to get in, there's too many things that have to happen to Dolphins 414 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:42,000 So, that's a game, tear it up, tell them to get the fuck out of here 415 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,000 Then, the granddaddy that I spoke about earlier 416 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,000 The Vikings vs. Lions definitely has to be played 417 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,000 And this is going to be a good game 418 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:54,000 And we'll see if I'm correct about defense 419 00:24:54,000 --> 00:25:04,000 And then, Saturday, January 11th, and Sunday, January 12th are the Wild Cart Games 420 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:14,000 Then, it fell Wild Cart Round, let's see, it doesn't even give 421 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:19,000 Okay, I thought it would give a little bit more detail about the NFC and when they played 422 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,000 But I guess it's to be determined with these last games 423 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,000 So, I went on that tangent about telling people to go home 424 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,000 Maybe there is some reason to keep them 425 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:33,000 So, there you go 426 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,000 Alright, and now for the picks of this week 427 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:41,000 Browns vs. Ravens at Baltimore 428 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:46,000 Saturday, June 4th, January 4th, not June 4th, 3.30pm 429 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:52,000 Ravens, Bengels vs. Steelers 430 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:57,000 Saturday, January 4th, 7pm, that's going to be a good game because it's going to be prime time 431 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:02,000 The Steelers keep getting their nuts kicked in 432 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:07,000 And now they can see a little light because the Bengels are not the upper echelon teams 433 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,000 Like they have been facing here lately 434 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:15,000 So, I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to pick the Steelers 435 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:20,000 And it's in Pittsburgh, so anyhow, I'm not going to pick a score 436 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:24,000 Topher's not here with me, so I see no reason to pick a score, who cares 437 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:28,000 Panthers at Falcons 438 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:32,000 I'm going to pick the Panthers in an upset 439 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:36,000 I think Penn Ex-Jr. will make a couple of mistakes 440 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,000 I think the Panthers will capitalize 441 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,000 Texans vs. Titans 442 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,000 I'm going to go Texans, of course 443 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,000 Even though it doesn't really matter, they're locked in, they want their division 444 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:52,000 So, anyhow, I'm going to go ahead and go with the Texans 445 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,000 Giants at Eagles 446 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:59,000 Well, even with their backup in, I don't think Hertz is going to be in again 447 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,000 Because he's not, I don't know 448 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:06,000 I would like to know the extent of his injury because 449 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,000 He hasn't been around 450 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,000 It's kind of concerning 451 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,000 I'm still picking the Eagles because the Giants are the Giants 452 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:20,000 Next one, Sunday, January 5th, 12pm 453 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,000 Jaguars vs. Colts 454 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:27,000 I'm only going with the Colts because the Colts are at home 455 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:31,000 Other than that, I mean, I wish both teams could lose 456 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,000 That would be excellent 457 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:38,000 That's a game that should not even hit the field 458 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,000 Alright, next one, Commanders vs. Cowboys 459 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,000 Cowboys have been playing very well lately 460 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,000 But still, who cares 461 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:52,000 Commanders are going to kick the shit out of them and I will enjoy every second of that 462 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,000 Bear V. Packers 463 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:59,000 Packers, of course, the Bears are hapless 464 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:03,000 Caleb Williams is afraid to throw the ball, he's scared to death 465 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,000 Nobody has tutored him right 466 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,000 So, there you go, Packers, of course 467 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,000 Saints vs. Buccaneers 468 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,000 Buccaneers are going to annihilate him 469 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,000 Baker Mayfield is going to have a party on him 470 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,000 He's going to dance and sing 471 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,000 He's going to, I don't know, maybe do hula hoops on him 472 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,000 They'll pop rocks at him, something 473 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,000 He's going to win 474 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,000 And the Bucs are going to win 475 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,000 And it's probably not going to be pretty either 476 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:33,000 I think they're going to monkey stomp a hole in their ass 477 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,000 That's it 478 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,000 Another one besides his asshole 479 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,000 He'll have two holes in his ass, the Saints will 480 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,000 Alright, Bill vs. Patriots 481 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,000 Um 482 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,000 Okay 483 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,000 The Patriots are lying down, obviously 484 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:52,000 And the Bills are all backups, so this is a hard one to pick 485 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,000 But, you know what? 486 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:58,000 I think that the Bills backups can beat the Patriots 487 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,000 And we're going to find out 488 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,000 That's my guess on that one 489 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,000 We'll see what happens 490 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:10,000 Alright, and that is Sunday, January 5th, 325 491 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,000 Chiefs vs. Broncos 492 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,000 Over there, mile high 493 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:21,000 Sunday, January 5th, 325 p.m. 494 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,000 I'm going to pick the Chiefs 495 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:27,000 Even though you're not going to see anybody of note playing 496 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,000 I just think that the Chiefs want to keep rolling 497 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,000 And I think that they're going to talk the backups up enough 498 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,000 To where they're going to come out throwing fire 499 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,000 And you're going to really be surprised by this 500 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,000 So, I'm picking the Chiefs 501 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:45,000 And that would mean that Cincinnati will go to the playoffs 502 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,000 And I say, Natty, go in when your first won 503 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,000 Come on in there, you bitches, come on 504 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,000 We'd love to smack you around again 505 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,000 So come on over, bitches 506 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,000 We'll see what happens 507 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,000 Seahawks vs. Rams 508 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,000 Seahawks suck 509 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,000 Geno Smith is an idiot 510 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,000 The Rams are playing well 511 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,000 They're hitting on all cylinders 512 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,000 Watch out, the Rams are going to ruin somebody's day 513 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,000 And the playoffs, you watch 514 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,000 The Rams are going to really, really hurt somebody 515 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,000 They're going to hit them 516 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,000 And they're not going to know what's happened 517 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,000 And they're going to win 518 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,000 So, you're going to see the Rams, at least in the divisional 519 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,000 I'm thinking 520 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,000 Next one, Dolphins vs. Jets 521 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,000 I think Tagovayola is injured again 522 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:35,000 And I think Aaron Rodgers is handicapped 523 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:40,000 So, I'm going to pick the Jets 524 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,000 I think the Jets are in New York 525 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,000 And I know they're hapless 526 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,000 But I think that the Dolphins don't have enough 527 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,000 Of an ass bone 528 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,000 Without Tagovayola 529 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,000 Who will not be playing 530 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,000 Next one, Vikings vs. Lions 531 00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:02,000 Sunday, January 5th, 7.20pm 532 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:06,000 Vikings, even though it's in D-Town 533 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,000 Even though it's over at the Motor City 534 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,000 Doesn't matter 535 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,000 I'm going with what I originally said 536 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,000 And this is defense 537 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,000 Wins championships 538 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,000 The Lions give up a lot of points 539 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,000 Traditionally, the Vikings do not 540 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,000 So, I think at the end of the day 541 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,000 When the shake gets out on a rug 542 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,000 Vikings are on top 543 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,000 So, there you go 544 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:31,000 There's all my picks 545 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,000 Not that anyone really gives a shit 546 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,000 But there you go 547 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,000 Okay, while I'm thinking about it here real quick 548 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,000 Because I had an email pop up on my regular email 549 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,000 I still get to get the show's email to work in again 550 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:47,000 It's doucheb66 at yahu.com 551 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,000 And I'm telling you what 552 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,000 I'm getting so frustrated with the whole mail service there 553 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,000 I think I'm just going to switch emails 554 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,000 And give you all that 555 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,000 So, you know what, if you haven't had your email read 556 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,000 And you want it to be read 557 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,000 As soon as I give you the new email address 558 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,000 Please send it there 559 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,000 Hopefully you didn't erase it, you know, photocopy it 560 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,000 You know, whatever 561 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,000 And I will read it 562 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,000 And even if it's horrible 563 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,000 You know where we'll hate Mel knows to the top 564 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,000 So, anyhow 565 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,000 There you go 566 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,000 So, once again, the giant big spectacle we know 567 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,000 Is Aaraj is rolling on 568 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,000 After missing his first season 569 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,000 With a jet student Achilles injury 570 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,000 Aaron Rogers returned this year 571 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,000 Only to face relentless challenges 572 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,000 The Jets dismal 4 and 12 record reflects a team struggling 573 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,000 To find cohesion 574 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,000 And their playoff hopes were dashed fairly early 575 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,000 Sunday, 40-14 loss to the Buffalo Bills 576 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,000 Was a low point for Rogers 577 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,000 Who set an unwanted NFL record 578 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,000 The most sat quarterback in league history 579 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,000 The statistic underscores the Jets offensive line struggles 580 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,000 And Rogers difficulties in adapting to the team 581 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,000 So, he was fined 582 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,000 Or he's getting ready to be fined 583 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,000 A pretty good sum of money according to the NFL 584 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,000 They haven't quite picked the fine yet 585 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,000 But they are unhappy with him 586 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,000 And the reason is because 587 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,000 He should know more than anything 588 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,000 About hitting someone out of bounds 589 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,000 He should know that more than anybody 590 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,000 Because he is a quarterback 591 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,000 And they protect quarterbacks from bullshit like that 592 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,000 So, Rogers frustration boiled over during a play 593 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,000 That involved an interception return 594 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,000 In an uncharacteristic move 595 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,000 He committed an unnecessary roughness penalty 596 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,000 For a late hit out of bounds 597 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,000 The infraction added insult injury 598 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,000 For a team already overwhelmed by the Bills 599 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,000 Now, I would like to see how many times 600 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:51,000 A quarterback has been penalized 601 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,000 For unnecessary roughness 602 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,000 I bet if it happened 603 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,000 It might be one or two times in the whole history of the league 604 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,000 Because the Jets are not the only ones 605 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,000 Who are in the league 606 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,000 Because generally the way I see it is 607 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,000 And I think this is probably pretty much true 608 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,000 Quarterbacks know what bullshit it is 609 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,000 To get hit out of bounds, late hits 610 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,000 They know what it is, it's bullshit 611 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,000 All it is is either intimidation 612 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,000 Or trying to hurt somebody 613 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,000 Now, A.Rodge should know better than that 614 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,000 He definitely crossed the line 615 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:26,000 And he deserves a good punishment, a good fine 616 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,000 But does that bode well for him being hired somewhere? 617 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:33,000 The Jets don't seem like they're very interested in keeping him 618 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:38,000 I mean, dad and everything else has went on 619 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:42,000 And the sideshow that he creates wherever he goes 620 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:46,000 Him just not producing, being a Malkin 10 621 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,000 In Green Bay and someone here 622 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,000 In New York Jets land 623 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,000 He has said some questionable things 624 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:59,000 So, I mean, how attractive is he to another team? 625 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,000 I'm starting to get now that even these teams 626 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,000 That feel they're a quarterback off of 627 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,000 Either making the playoffs or the big game playoffs 628 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:12,000 I think even to them, they're questioning 629 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,000 Whether they want to get someone like A.Rodge anyhow 630 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:19,000 They might go with, I don't know, Kirk Cousins as unavailable 631 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,000 I don't know, pick your guy 632 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,000 That is that guy that could do it or might do it 633 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:28,000 But not necessarily will do it 634 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:32,000 And I think they're going to be a more sexy pick than Rodgers now 635 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,000 So, like I said, they haven't picked the punishment yet 636 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:40,000 But as per NFL rules, Rodgers is expected to face 637 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,000 At least a $10,000 fine for his actions 638 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,000 The league has consistently enforced fines 639 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,000 For unnecessary roughness penalties to maintain player safety 640 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:53,000 And this incident is no exception 641 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,000 So, let's go into a little playoff talk here 642 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,000 NFL Week 18 playoff picture 643 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:02,000 The clinching scenarios and the standings 644 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:10,000 So, the NFC North and 1C to the NFC is up for grabs still 645 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,000 And the winner of the Sunday night 646 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:17,000 The last game of this regular season 647 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,000 Is going to be Minnesota Vikings at Detroit Lions 648 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:24,000 It's the finale and the winner of this game 649 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,000 Gets a first round buy 650 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:32,000 The NFC North and NFC South titles will come down to Week 18 as well 651 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,000 So, let's go on with this here 652 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:39,000 And we'll tell you in the NFC who's already clinched 653 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,000 Kansas City Chiefs in number one seed 654 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,000 Buffalo Bills, number two 655 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,000 Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens, Houston, Texas 656 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,000 Los Angeles Chargers 657 00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,000 All of them are in as of right now 658 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,000 To a wild card spot 659 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:56,000 Houston, Texas, I think one their division 660 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,000 But we'll go into that here in a minute 661 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:02,000 The matchup, Baltimore Ravens vs Cleveland on Saturday 662 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,000 How the Ravens can clinch the NFC North title 663 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:08,000 A win, a tie, or Pittsburgh loss 664 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:12,000 Or a tie vs Cincinnati 665 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:16,000 So, the Baltimore Ravens can win like that 666 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,000 If Pittsburgh loses or they tie with Cincinnati 667 00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,000 Or they can take matters into their own hands 668 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:27,000 And win and then they will clinch the NFC North 669 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,000 All right, the Pittsburgh Steelers 670 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,000 The matchup vs Cincinnati on Saturday 671 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:36,000 How the Steelers can clinch the NFC North title 672 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,000 Win plus a Baltimore loss vs Cleveland 673 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:43,000 So they have to, they could still clinch 674 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,000 But Baltimore has to lose and they have to win 675 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,000 And Baltimore is playing Cleveland which they could lose 676 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,000 Cleveland beat them earlier this year 677 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,000 Cleveland plays everybody tough, there are no slouch 678 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,000 The Bengals, they are eight and eight currently 679 00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:01,000 The matchup at Pittsburgh on Saturday 680 00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,000 Is going to dictate a lot 681 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:06,000 How the Bengals can clinch a playoff berth right here 682 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:10,000 In the playoffs, win plus Denver loss vs Kansas City 683 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:14,000 Miami loss, tie at New York Jets 684 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:18,000 So they could get in but all those things have to happen 685 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,000 They have to win, Denver has to lose 686 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:24,000 Miami has to lose or tie with the New York Jets 687 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,000 Now that could happen very easily 688 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,000 Don't get me wrong, I mean stranger things have happened 689 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,000 And this is traditionally the time of the year 690 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:36,000 People are just rolling up their carpets 691 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,000 And getting the hell out, you know 692 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:42,000 They already made their, they already bought their tickets to Europe 693 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:47,000 So Denver Broncos, they are nine and seven 694 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,000 Versus Kansas City this Sunday 695 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,000 How the Broncos can clinch a playoff berth 696 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,000 A win or a tie 697 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:59,000 Or Cincinnati loss or a tie at Pittsburgh 698 00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:03,000 Plus Miami loss or a tie at New York Jets 699 00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,000 So all Denver has to do is win 700 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:10,000 But if they lose, then there is a good chance 701 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:14,000 They could get in by losing I believe 702 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,000 Or no, you know what, yeah they could 703 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,000 They would be nine and seven and then 704 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,000 If they win, okay wait a minute they both be nine and eight 705 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,000 No, Cincinnati would get in 706 00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:30,000 So the Miami Dolphins, here is their scenario they are looking at 707 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:33,000 Eight and eight is their record 708 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:36,000 We are going against the New York Jets 709 00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:40,000 So this is how the Dolphins can clinch a playoff berth 710 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:46,000 Playoff, win and a loss versus Kansas City 711 00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:51,000 So they have to win and Denver has to lose to Kansas City 712 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,000 And then that would be the Dolphins 713 00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,000 So okay I stand corrected 714 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,000 So the Dolphins could get in with that scenario 715 00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:02,000 Okay, week 18 clinch in scenarios and then a C 716 00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:06,000 Already clinched, Detroit Lions, Philadelphia Eagles 717 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:10,000 Are the two C, Minnesota Vikings, Green Bay Packers 718 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:14,000 Los Angeles Rams and the Washington Commanders 719 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:17,000 Which is pretty damn cool considering where they came from 720 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,000 The Atlanta Falcons are eight and eight 721 00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:22,000 And the matchup is against Carolina who is no south 722 00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:26,000 I mean people are, you know, this Carolina team 723 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:29,000 I mean they can play, they can flat play 724 00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,000 And I think they will for this because you know 725 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,000 The Falcons are the rival 726 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:38,000 So this is how the Falcons can clinch the NFC South 727 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:42,000 A win plus Tampa Bay loss versus New Orleans 728 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:48,000 So then we go on to how the Buccaneers can clinch 729 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,000 A playoff spot 730 00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:54,000 The matchup versus New Orleans on Sunday 731 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,000 How the Buccaneers can clinch the NFC South 732 00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:02,000 A win or a tie or Atlanta loss or a tie versus Carolina 733 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:05,000 Carolina tying 734 00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,000 So they, you know, I mean they have pretty good odds 735 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,000 For getting in there so 736 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:13,000 The Detroit Lions, they're 14 and 2 737 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,000 And their matchup is at Minnesota and we already talked about that 738 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:19,000 That's come down to the last game of the regular season of 2024 739 00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,000 And it's going to be a doozy 740 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,000 I'll tell you what, the NFL could not have done better 741 00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:27,000 With their late season matchups, brilliant 742 00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:31,000 The matchup at Detroit on Sunday, on Sunday night football 743 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,000 How the Vikings can clinch number one seed in home field advantage 744 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,000 Is a win 745 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:39,000 And that's it, a win 746 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:44,000 If not, they are the sixth seed in the playoffs 747 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,000 Playoffs, so 748 00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:50,000 Hitting that something, you could be the number one seed 749 00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,000 Or the number six seed in the playoffs 750 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,000 These two teams are going to be balling, I can tell you that 751 00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:59,000 Now here's a rich one right here, I think you might enjoy 752 00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:04,000 AI predicts Panthers will defeat the Chiefs in Super Bowl 24 753 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,000 Yeah, this one 754 00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:12,000 The 2024 Carolina Panthers are about to become the most improbable Super Bowl champions of all time 755 00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:15,000 At least according to Grok, yes, Grok 756 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:21,000 Grok is an artificial intelligence chatbot developed by the XAI corp 757 00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:25,000 A startup company of Twitter ex owner Elon Musk 758 00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:30,000 Currently under beta testing, I wouldn't say it's private beta testing 759 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:34,000 The technology is designed to answer almost anything with a bit of wit 760 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:39,000 And a rebellious streak, so maybe that's what this says, who knows 761 00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:50,000 Anyway, the folks over there at the 33rd team just asked Grok to forecast the result of Super Bowl 24 762 00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:54,000 Which will be held at Caesar Superdome in New Orleans 763 00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:59,000 February 9th, 2025, and the answer is 764 00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,000 Interesting 765 00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:09,000 Okay, for starters the Panthers just turned in the worst record in the entire league this past season 766 00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:14,000 Their two-win campaign featured in the end-season firing of the head coach position 767 00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:18,000 A particularly rough first year for number one overall pick Bryce Young 768 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:22,000 And perhaps the most feeble offense in franchise history 769 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:28,000 Which that is saying something because they have had some feeble offenses before 770 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:33,000 So not only would they have to rise from those depths to prove Grok correct 771 00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:41,000 But they'd also have to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs who have collected three of the last Super Bowl 5 Lombardi trophies 772 00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:46,000 And they would have to do all that under a first year head coach 773 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:52,000 Eh, you know, good thing Grok is a... 774 00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:56,000 Grok is um... 775 00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,000 Beta 776 00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:04,000 So, here we go, this is the current 2025 draft order 777 00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:10,000 And this probably will not change much, there's not a whole lot contingent on the games coming up draft-wise 778 00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:13,000 Number one would be the Patriots 779 00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,000 Number two the Titans 780 00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,000 Number three the Browns 781 00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,000 Number four the John Browns 782 00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:24,000 Um, maybe you should hire someone to look for your quarterback in the future 783 00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:28,000 But you should not try to do it yourself, just saying 784 00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:29,000 Number four the Giants 785 00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:30,000 Number five the Jags 786 00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,000 Number six the Panthers 787 00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,000 Number seven the Jets 788 00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:35,000 Number eight the Raiders 789 00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,000 Number nine Bears 790 00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,000 The Bears 791 00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:40,000 Number ten Saints 792 00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:41,000 And the Bears too 793 00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:46,000 I know you're probably still high on Caleb Williams even though you ruined him already 794 00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,000 Um, don't pick a quarterback 795 00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,000 I think that the league ought to just like um... 796 00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:56,000 Not let you guys pick a quarterback ever again, just say, you know, sorry, it's just not working out 797 00:44:56,000 --> 00:45:00,000 We're gonna have to have you pick an offensive lineman or something 798 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,000 So, number ten the Saints 799 00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,000 Number eleven the 49ers 800 00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:07,000 Number twelve are the Colts 801 00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:10,000 Number thirteen the Cowboys 802 00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:13,000 Number fourteen the Cardinals 803 00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,000 Number fifteen the Dolphins 804 00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,000 Number sixteen the Bengals 805 00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:20,000 Seventeen would be the Falcons 806 00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:25,000 And the Seahawks would be number eighteen 807 00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:33,000 Alright, so here are the projected wild card round losers 808 00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:36,000 Texans 809 00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:40,000 Followed by the Broncos being number twenty, twenty-one would be the Bucks 810 00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:42,000 Twenty-two would be the Chargers 811 00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:43,000 Twenty-three the Rams 812 00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,000 Twenty-four the Packers 813 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:52,000 So the projected divisional round losers would go twenty-fifth pick the Steelers 814 00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,000 Twenty-six pick the Commanders 815 00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,000 Twenty-seventh would be the Ravens 816 00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:58,000 Twenty-eight would be the Eagles 817 00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:01,000 Or also known as the Eagles 818 00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:08,000 So, projected conference championship game losers 819 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,000 Twenty-nine the Bills 820 00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,000 Thirty the Vikings 821 00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:16,000 These are the two projected Super Bowl teams 822 00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,000 Thirty-one the Lions 823 00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:19,000 Thirty-two the Chiefs 824 00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:22,000 So, if you read this, the draft order 825 00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:26,000 They are under the belief that the Chiefs will three-peat 826 00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:31,000 Interesting how that order is set like this 827 00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:34,000 So, some of this will change 828 00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:35,000 Some of it will not 829 00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,000 Especially when you get into the wild card 830 00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:40,000 The divisional and the Super Bowl 831 00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:44,000 Interesting stuff 832 00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:48,000 Getting you really set down and listening to all that garbage that you're speaking 833 00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,000 Do you actually believe one inch of it? 834 00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,000 I didn't think so 835 00:46:52,000 --> 00:47:11,000 Hey now, game over!
