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, we give you the Sports Basket.

2
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Oh shit, let's get the hell out of here. It's Argumentive Guy.

3
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Harambe used to call into our original show, Two Dip Shits and a Cheap Radio Shack Candy Recorder. Harambe stopped calling into our original show, Two Dip Shits and a Cheap Radio Shack Candy Recorder.

4
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:42,000
Why did Harambe stop calling into our original show, Two Dip Shits and a Cheap Radio Shack Candy Recorder?

5
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Harambe was senselessly murdered because some idiot could not watch her children properly while looking at her phone. Sadly, Harambe does not listen to any show anymore.

6
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,000
Sorry Harambe.

7
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:05,000
Hi there. This is your ears. Why are you listening to this garbage? I thought we were friends.

8
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:11,000
Hello everybody. This is The Sports Bastards. This is another solo cast edition.

9
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:27,000
I'm getting to where I don't mind a solo cast nearly as much as I used to. I think I'm getting more at ease of just rambling myself. I do it anyhow when no one's around. Just this time I have a mic in front of me, right?

10
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:43,000
I'd like to get into a little bit about the Bengals fans that are outraged that the Chiefs didn't want to get any of their starters hurt. They're pissed off because they think we threw the game to keep them out.

11
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:59,000
But that's not the deal at all. I can tell you right now that's not how a handy read works. And there's nobody on the Kansas City Chiefs that's afraid of the Bengals. I can guarantee you that. We beat their ass three or four times in a row and it would happen again.

12
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:14,000
So it's not that we're, oh my God, we can't let the Bengals in here. I don't know how they get this thought that they're so big and bad that nobody wants them in the playoffs. I'm sorry. They sucked ass. They sucked ass the first part of the season.

13
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:23,000
And the only reason they got it together in the second part of the season is because they had one of the easiest schedules around. I mean they had a bunch of nobodies and they lost to a couple of them.

14
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:37,000
So this whole thought that the rest of the NFL does not want them in there is stupid. And also, you know, Joey Juicebox and they're talking about how good he is and what a good year he had.

15
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:54,000
Okay, let me throw this at you right here. Okay. If he's so good, I mean, so was Jeff George, right? Do you see any championships behind Jeff George's name? No. Well, it's kind of the same thing if you think about it.

16
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:08,000
He had Joey Juicebox. They did make it one year. One year they made it to the Super Bowl. And that's not because old Joey Juicebox actually willed them to win. That's because my homies made a mistake trying to carry the team on his back.

17
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:18,000
And that's why they got there. When they got there, they went down their leg and promptly lost. So this whole thing about the NFL being afraid of them is ridiculous.

18
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:27,000
So here I'll go into this a little bit, the article. Okay. Sarah Bengals fans started a petition demanding that the NFL put their team in the playoffs.

19
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:39,000
Disgruntled and angry Bengals fans began an online petition demanding that the NFL put their team in the playoffs despite missing out by one game.

20
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:53,000
Well, like I said there, the whole thing is the proof's in the pudding. They did not win enough games. Other people won enough games and they're in and they and the Bengals are not.

21
00:03:53,000 --> 00:04:03,000
And as far as anyone being afraid of them, they're full of shit. So anyhow, disgruntled. You know what? You go home, you lick your wounds, you get better.

22
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:11,000
You go out, you bring out the wage, you fucking pump up and then come back and try to punch us in the face next year. But don't sit there whining about it because you didn't make it.

23
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:23,000
Okay. I mean, it's ridiculous that it's even being brought up now and this change.org ought to be ashamed of themselves for allowing that to be on their platform.

24
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:36,000
I mean, you know, how about some other serious things going on, you know, like change.org taking, you know, getting after insurance companies that fuck people over all the time.

25
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:50,000
How about something like that instead of Joey Juicebox and his gang being a little bit butthurt. So and then I'd like to go into Joey Juicebox himself, Joey Burrow.

26
00:04:50,000 --> 00:05:04,000
He went to X and expressed his disappointment about not being in the playoffs. And then Jamar Chase promptly followed it up with MVP loading as if he's going to be the MVP.

27
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:15,000
I'm sorry, MVP should be reserved for people that do something with their teams like Josh Allen would be eligible. Lamar Jackson would be eligible.

28
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:30,000
Patrick Mahomes should be in the discussion too. I don't care about stats. And the thing is, I mean, he Patrick Mahomes is a different kind of magic now, but he's starting to get back that old magic now that he has a few receivers under his belt.

29
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:40,000
But whenever he needs to make that big play, the end drive, whatever he does it. So that's his magic now. And if they're not smart enough to realize that, it's not our fault.

30
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:53,000
So, OK, 2018. This is Patrick Mahomes his first full year. 2017 was his rookie year, but he only played the last game and that was a throwaway game against Denver.

31
00:05:53,000 --> 00:06:11,000
Alex Smith was the starter. OK, 2018. Patrick Mahomes had 5097 yards and 50 touchdowns with a 12 interception in a rating of 113.8. Incredible.

32
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:35,000
2019. He had 4031 yards, 26 touchdowns and five interceptions. 105.3 rating. 2020. Patrick Mahomes had 4470 yards, 38 touchdowns to six interceptions and 108.2 rating.

33
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:53,000
2021. He had 4839 yards, 37 touchdowns and six interceptions and 98.5 rating. 2022. He had 5250 yards, 41 touchdowns, 12 interceptions and 105.2 rating.

34
00:06:53,000 --> 00:07:08,000
2023. He had 4183 yards, 27 TDs, 14 ints, 92.6 rating. In 2024, he had 3928 yards, 26 touchdowns, 11 interceptions, 93.5 rating.

35
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:23,000
The last two, 23 and 24, have been the worst ratings of his career and that is because he didn't have any receivers. They were all hurt and the ones we had weren't necessarily like front of the line.

36
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:39,000
He was getting there. Schuster can be. Valdez Gantling at the time, he was fair. He did a lot of this with Travis Kelcey and a couple other guys that could do a little bit.

37
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:53,000
But he still found a way to get it done. He still found a way to win the last two Super Bowls with the rest of the team. So anyhow, Burrow, no. 2020 was Burrow's first season.

38
00:07:53,000 --> 00:08:05,000
He had 2688 yards, 13 touchdowns, five interceptions for an 89.8 rating. Mahomes never had a rating that low ever.

39
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:16,000
In 2021, he had 4611 yards, 34 touchdowns, 14 interceptions and a 108.3 rating.

40
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:28,000
Now remember, Mahomes' best rating has had over 5000 yards two times and he's had a rating of 113. He's had over 50 touchdowns two times.

41
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:40,000
OK, so so far nothing, nothing even close to that. 4475 yards in 2022, 35 touchdowns, 12 interceptions, 100.8 rating.

42
00:08:40,000 --> 00:09:00,000
2023, Juice Box had 2309 yards, 15 touchdowns, six interceptions, 91 rating. Mahomes' worst season was not even near an 89.8 or 91 rating, which Burrow has had two times in his career so far.

43
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:13,000
So 2024, the season that he's supposedly this MVP. And this is with the extra game. This is 17 games, not 16 games like Mahomes is working with on a couple of those years.

44
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:25,000
4913 yards, no 5000 yard season like Mahomes. 43 touchdowns with these receivers like Higgins and Chase. 43 touchdowns, really? That didn't sound that good to me.

45
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:44,000
Mahomes had over 50 twice, nine interceptions, 108.5 rating. That 108.5 rating, 108.3 was his best rating in 2021, but he failed to get, he wasn't even close to 50 touchdowns and he wasn't even close to 5000 yards.

46
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:57,000
At least in 2024 with the extra game, he got 4900 and a little bit of change. 43 touchdowns, so that was probably his closest effort to what Mahomes has done.

47
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:12,000
So what makes him right there? Joey Burrow, the MVP. Any of that does? Any of that? He didn't take anyone anywhere today. He just, maybe he'll take him to Cancun because he failed.

48
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:23,000
I don't know, but he's not going to the Super Bowl. Let's go a little bit further into this. There's three rings, three Super Bowl rings for Patrick Mahomes.

49
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:43,000
Zero for Burrow. Four Super Bowl appearances for Mahomes. One Super Bowl appearance for Burrow. Five home field advantage, number one seed. Zero for Burrow.

50
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:59,000
So I don't get, okay, number one, the little idiots like little Skippard Bayless, that dumbass. Okay, he said, oh, because Burrow had that kind of a year, but it still didn't touch Mahomes' best years.

51
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:09,000
So that little dumbass Skippy Bayless is saying that Burrow's the best quarterback and he's all pumping out his little bird chest and pounding his chest and stuff like that.

52
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:18,000
And that shows you how stupid the guy is. All he is is a counter programmer. So if you see the sun to the left side, he's going to be the guy that says, no, it's to the right.

53
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:31,000
Just to do it. Just to try to get people to talk about him. That little bitch has no idea about sports and he also has no idea about greatness because he's not great.

54
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:40,000
If he wasn't sucking on Shannon Sharpe's nuts all the time, he wouldn't be anywhere. Shannon Sharpe made that program with that little idiot.

55
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:52,000
He is a stupid bastard, in my opinion, and he shouldn't even be in sports talk. As a matter of fact, I'd love to see that guy somewhere because I'd like to stick my finger in his face and say, do something about it.

56
00:11:52,000 --> 00:12:04,000
Because he couldn't. Because he's a little bitch, in my opinion. So, anyhow, we shall move on from that. And as for Natty Fan, I've got one thing and one thing only for you.

57
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:15,000
Get better and do it to us. That's the only thing you can do. Don't whine, don't bitch. Your team needs to get better. And then you ex us out of the playoffs. That simple.

58
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:25,000
Other than that, I don't want to hear it. Until you guys can be able to get us back like that on that level and compete with us on that level, I don't want to fucking hear it.

59
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:37,000
And then all the stupid shit that the mayor said and the burrowhead shit and all of the stuff that you guys did because you got cocky because you actually got by us one year.

60
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:46,000
One fucking year and you guys act like you're the best team ever. No Super Bowl rings. I don't see where this pompous attitude comes from.

61
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:54,000
If I was them, I'd be a little bit embarrassed. I'd be a little red faced. I'd be like, man, we really failed. And maybe that's the reason you guys failed.

62
00:12:54,000 --> 00:13:07,000
Is because of accepting blame on your level. You're throwing blame to the Chiefs because they didn't help you win. It's not our job to help you win. It's your job. And you know how you win?

63
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:16,000
And that is by winning the games you need to win. So anyhow, I would like to go on to another idiot and that would be Antonio Pierce.

64
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:26,000
Antonio Pierce had several things that he did towards Mahomes that was idiotic.

65
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:36,000
Okay, number one, you poke the bear and you're going to get bit. He got bit. I mean, he thought he was hot shit because they beat us last year on Christmas Day.

66
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:43,000
He thought that, oh man, he went around telling everybody, we gave everybody the blueprint to beat them. So why don't they do it?

67
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:49,000
Well, if you gave the blueprint for them to beat them, they wouldn't be the number one seed again, would they?

68
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:56,000
No, not at all. They would have been 15 and 2 like they are in that last game they gave away because of the backups.

69
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:04,000
So, okay, if they gave the blueprint, nobody knows how to read blueprints. That's all there is to it.

70
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:14,000
Because, I mean, listen, I mean, if he really showed how to beat Mahomes, we would be in last place and we'd be over there in Cincinnati griping or whatever.

71
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:23,000
So, Antonio Pierce, one of the things he did besides saying that is he coached his players what he said to knock the head of the snake.

72
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:32,000
He was referring to Mahomes. It was kind of like a hit him hard, harass him and get into his psyche, get into his head.

73
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:41,000
Okay, so that's kind of a dirty way of doing things. I guarantee Andy Reid or Steve Spagnolo, they don't do that. They don't have to.

74
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:53,000
They're good enough coaches to where they can be polite and not try to hurt people because their talent is what's going to win, not trying to knock somebody out of the game.

75
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:59,000
We don't do that because we don't have to. Antonio Pierce and his band of misfits.

76
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:08,000
I mean, okay, Max Crosby, I hope he comes to the Chiefs. I'll admit that. And him and Mahomes are good friends, so you never know.

77
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:15,000
But I don't know if we could afford him. I mean, if he ever wants a ring, he'll take the he'll give us a hometown discount like a lot of players have.

78
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:25,000
They want the ring, you know, like Joey Burrow, you know, he was talking about, you know, how he wanted.

79
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:32,000
You know what? I'll go back into Cincinnati for a second, too, because I want to go in this. I'll go back to Antonio Pierce here in a minute.

80
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:41,000
Okay, Joe Burrow was begging the front office of the Cincinnati Bengals to resign T. Higgins.

81
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:47,000
Okay. Well, how come he has to beg them to resign T. Higgins?

82
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:59,000
Well, I recall Joey Juicebox, mouthing about Mahomes, given his his team a sweet deal, a cap friendly deal, and it hurt his negotiations.

83
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:13,000
Okay. Well, maybe if Joey Juicebox did what Mahomes did and gave his team a more a more cap friendly contract like Mahomes did,

84
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:18,000
he wouldn't have to worry about them resigning T. Higgins. They would have the capital.

85
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:27,000
But because he was such a hard line on his money and he wanted his share and he fist pounding and all that and and bagging on Mahomes.

86
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:34,000
Well, there you go. Mahomes signed all his guys. We signed everybody that he wanted to, you know, he'll left and we got great draft picks.

87
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:39,000
So that was a design thing. It's like, go ahead and leave. He'll turn out to be a malcontent anyhow.

88
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:50,000
And we'll get to him here in a little bit. So, Joey, don't be so greedy. You'll have T. Higgins on your team all day long.

89
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:57,000
But since you were bitching about Mahomes and since you thought you needed more money, well, I guess you may not get him.

90
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:03,000
And if I was a front office in the Bengals, I'd be like, hey, dude, you took your money. You took your money. So get out of here.

91
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:08,000
We do what we got to do. You did what you felt you got to do. So get the fuck out of here. Shut up.

92
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:15,000
We're going to have to draft somebody because we can't afford him. So get your fucking frosted tips ass out of here. Dumb shit.

93
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:22,000
All right. So Antonio Pierce, like I said, he coached his players to knock the head of the snake.

94
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:28,000
So and he was like really he was kind of alluding to hurting him, too.

95
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:37,000
I mean, if you read between the lines there, which is easy to do, saying get into his head, you know, hit him hard, get in his head, get into the psyche.

96
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:42,000
Well, he's talking about hurting the guy, too. I mean, not only mentally, but physically, too.

97
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:53,000
Well, Antonio Pierce, he just got fired. The official Patrick Mahomes ex site, Twitter, whatever, just like the post of Pierce getting fired.

98
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,000
And a lot of people like, well, why do you do that? I think I know why.

99
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:06,000
When someone tells you to when a coach in particular tells his team to do that to you, you think you're going to like the guy.

100
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,000
You're going to think you're going to go, oh, well, why did they fire him?

101
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:19,000
Number one, Antonio Pierce deserved to be fired because he could not coach well enough to have a team win.

102
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,000
I don't care even with O'Connell. He wanted to keep him.

103
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,000
That was his idea. And he loved O'Connell and thought he could do a great job with him.

104
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:35,000
And, you know, he he just doesn't have what it takes to be a leading coach.

105
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:42,000
So there you go. I mean, and I don't blame Mahomes for for liking that. I would, too.

106
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,000
And besides that, Mahomes probably doesn't even run his Twitter or whatever.

107
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,000
It's probably someone else anyhow. And they probably did it.

108
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:53,000
And when people came up to him and said something, he's probably like, oh, did I like it? Oh, OK, I guess I did.

109
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:57,000
So anyhow, I mean, that's anyhow, that's too petty for someone like Mahomes.

110
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:12,000
Anyhow, he's busy trying to win more Super Bowls. He's not busy messing with anybody or talking or, you know, saying something about somebody like other people that have less to do and lesser goals on their minds, too.

111
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:18,000
So he's much too busy. So speaking of Antonio Pierce and being fired.

112
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:28,000
And then the Jets have been rudderless for quite a while now. It appears as if the Jets and the Raiders both have

113
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:38,000
requested interviews with our Steve Spagnolo, the defensive coordinator, the great future Hall of Famer Steve Spagnolo.

114
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:49,000
So I'm saying this to Spags right here. I'm sorry those teams are trying to get you. I'd hold out and wait for a better team than those two organizations.

115
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,000
Don't have your great name ruined by those guys.

116
00:19:52,000 --> 00:20:01,000
Actually go to a real organization that actually has a great front office and likes to win and has a traditional winning.

117
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:08,000
And you will get that job sooner or later. But I would not go with any of these two teams because they're horrible.

118
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,000
They're going to ruin your value.

119
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:21,000
And you'll be back to DC and somewhere because those two, those two organizations have a history of ruining great people.

120
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:34,000
And so I'm saying don't do it Spags. Hang out here. You'll get more rings and your value is always going to be there and there's going to be better teams that are going to try to get you in the future.

121
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:40,000
Let's say like Mike Tomlin wants to retire. You'd fit in great up there. I mean there's other ones.

122
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:48,000
There's other spots where you could go. I hate to say this, but I mean Zach Taylor didn't exactly do a great job.

123
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:54,000
I think you could work with Cincinnati really well, although I'd hate to see you go there because I don't like them.

124
00:20:54,000 --> 00:21:00,000
But I'm telling you there's better organizations that you could go to. I mean how about the Dolphins?

125
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:05,000
I mean you could do wonders down there. I mean they need, they need whatever they can get down there.

126
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:12,000
And they have a fairly good nucleus. I mean you know, is Tua Tagovaiola the guy?

127
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:18,000
Maybe not, but he's a guy that can get you to the playoffs and he can play pretty well.

128
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:29,000
I don't know if he's quite the guy to take you on his back during the playoffs and take you to the promised land, but he is a skilled good quarterback.

129
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:36,000
And something to run with until you find the guy.

130
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:42,000
So any house bags, hold out. Don't go over these two losers.

131
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:49,000
And finally let's get over to Tyreek Hill now. Tyreek Hill could not wait to leave Kansas City.

132
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:55,000
He felt he was dissed, he was butt hurt, and he left and we got quite a few really good draft picks.

133
00:21:55,000 --> 00:22:00,000
Most of them defensively that parlayed into two Super Bowl wins.

134
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:06,000
Now, the team's pretty much, it doesn't look so good down there now.

135
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:15,000
They missed the playoffs and Tyreek Hill is acting out.

136
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:22,000
And he's pretty much trying to force the Dolphins into trading him.

137
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:27,000
People are saying the Los Angeles Chargers would be a good fit.

138
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:36,000
I don't know if a guy declining in his 30s, not a very real tall guy.

139
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:42,000
I'm not, you know, I'm not begging on the guy.

140
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:50,000
He's great and maybe a Hall of Famer, probably a Hall of Famer, but I mean, he's 30 now and how much money is he going to command?

141
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:55,000
The contract that he got from Miami was the one that was going to pay him.

142
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,000
And that's pretty much what a receiver gets there.

143
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:03,000
That's the bulk of what they get is that one big contract after they prove themselves the first four years.

144
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,000
So he got that huge contract.

145
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:13,000
So I don't know if there's another team that's going to pay him that much to be there, especially with him having a very mundane season.

146
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:19,000
And also with him mouthing off and biting the hand that feeds him.

147
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:25,000
That is not a very good look and a lot of teams take exception to that because they don't want to be that guy.

148
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,000
They don't want to be that team that got their hand bit by this guy.

149
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,000
And also they're not going to pay that kind of money.

150
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:36,000
They are kind of like what the chiefs are doing is they don't overpay for receivers.

151
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,000
You're either on board or you're not.

152
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,000
And that's it.

153
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,000
You want to win a ring or you don't.

154
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:46,000
So after four years, you either sign a friendly deal and if you don't, you'll be traded.

155
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,000
I mean, I remember Tyreke Hill demanded pretty much.

156
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:55,000
He said, you know, I want to trade if you guys can't match Miami's offer here.

157
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,000
You know, he was demanding that he wanted to look around.

158
00:23:58,000 --> 00:23:59,000
And the chief said, OK.

159
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:04,000
So then he came back with Miami's offer and the chief said, all right, well, let's see if we can work out a trade.

160
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,000
So then they worked out a trade.

161
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,000
So Hill went to the Dolphins.

162
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:16,000
So and so now suddenly, you know, at first he was like, oh, my God, Tego Viola is better than my homes.

163
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,000
Oh, man, we are going to we are going to win some games down here.

164
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,000
And none of that really.

165
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:31,000
I mean, ever since that brutal playoff loss to the Chiefs last season and then their early exit this season, Tyreke Hill's getting frustrated.

166
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,000
He's looking over here and shit, man.

167
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:38,000
You know, they're winning all these Super Bowls and I'm not doing Jack down here.

168
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,000
I mean, so, Tyreke, you did yourself like this.

169
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,000
You're a member of the Chiefs and they were wanting to resign you.

170
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:50,000
But you had to, you know, pound your chest and go, no, no, no, I get better money than this because I'm Tyreke Hill.

171
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,000
And you're where you're at.

172
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:57,000
And then you started trying to get the Chiefs to look into trading for you.

173
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:03,000
You know, when we got Deandre Hopkins, you put the you know, like the what the hell sign up and all this stuff.

174
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:09,000
And they keep throwing down hints and throwing old pictures of you and the homes together when you're bagging on the guy.

175
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:15,000
So, well, no wonder they didn't want to.

176
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,000
No wonder they had no interest in you at all.

177
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,000
I see it.

178
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,000
And I think the rest of the world sees it, too.

179
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,000
So, Tyreke, good luck.

180
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,000
If you get out of Miami, good luck.

181
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:28,000
I mean, because the team you go to, you're going to have to be walking very carefully.

182
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:29,000
I guarantee that.

183
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,000
And you're not going to see the kind of money you have been seeing either.

184
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,000
I can guarantee that, too.

185
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:39,000
OK, and we'll get back to some of the Chiefs talk here in a little bit.

186
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:44,000
I have a thing that Travis Kelsey said on his podcast that I found really good.

187
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,000
I liked it.

188
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:49,000
I like what he said because he kind of summed up what I was backing up.

189
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,000
I just read it.

190
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,000
I took a break and I had to do a couple of things.

191
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:57,000
I just came back and I just read it and it backs up exactly what I said a little bit ago.

192
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:04,000
So now I think everyone's aware of the massive fires in California.

193
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:21,000
Well, people are kind of nervous because of that, you know, because the playoff game between the Vikings and the Rams is going to go on this weekend.

194
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:31,000
So anyhow, the the NFL issued a statement and it was that the talent city.

195
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,000
Where did it go?

196
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,000
The NFL priority is the safety of the Los Angeles community.

197
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:39,000
We are grateful for the tireless efforts of the first responders.

198
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:43,000
Our hearts are with Los Angeles and everyone affected by the fires.

199
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:49,000
We continue to prepare to play the Vikings Rams game as scheduled Monday night in SoFi Stadium.

200
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:58,000
As as with all the games, there are contingency plans in the event of a change in location is needed.

201
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:05,000
In this instance, the game will be played on Monday night at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

202
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:16,000
We will continue to closely monitor developments in the area and will remain in contact with public officials, both clubs and the NFL Players Association.

203
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:21,000
So I think it's a pretty good black pack, a backup plan.

204
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:26,000
I mean, you know, the people that have tickets, I'm sure would travel there.

205
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:31,000
So, I mean, they just got to take a little cheap plane plane ride there.

206
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,000
So, yeah, I like that.

207
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:40,000
They're going to try to play at SoFi Stadium because a lot of people aren't just afraid of the fires, but they're talking about the air quality being so bad.

208
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:45,000
And it's a hazard to the players and the people, you know, at the stadium and all that.

209
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,000
So we'll see what happens with that.

210
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,000
But right now, they're going to try.

211
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,000
They're going to try to play at SoFi Stadium.

212
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,000
Now, this next one's kind of a shocker.

213
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:03,000
But actually, if you think of both teams involved, probably not, because both teams are not a very well-run organization.

214
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:10,000
The Cowboys denied Bears permission to interview Mike McCarthy for their head coach and vacancy for a report.

215
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:17,000
So Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy appears to be one step closer returning to his role in 2025.

216
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:26,000
The Chicago Bears requested permission on Monday to interview McCarthy with his five-year Cowboys coaching contract set to expire on January 14th.

217
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:32,000
But the Cowboys blocked Chicago from doing so on Tuesday per ESPN report.

218
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:41,000
You know, following Dallas' 23-19 loss to the Commanders that close their 2024 season record at 7 and 10,

219
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:46,000
both owner and general manager Jerry Jones and McCarthy, especially McCarthy,

220
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:51,000
made it apparent that they're both leaning towards keeping their union intact and going forward.

221
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:59,000
Jones' decision to block McCarthy from interviewing with the Bears makes it appear the two sides are looking to stay together in 2025 and beyond.

222
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:09,000
McCarthy's 49-34 record since becoming Dallas head coach in 2020 is tied for the eighth bet in the NFL during that span.

223
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:21,000
So I thought, and evidently a lot of other people talking to him, that Mike McCarthy was going to be on the hot seat

224
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:27,000
because he's been Cowboy since 2020, and they haven't really went that far.

225
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:33,000
A couple of early round playoff losses, and that's about it.

226
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:38,000
And every year they seem to think they're going to be a contender, including this year.

227
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:45,000
So it would look on the surface like maybe Mike McCarthy was underperforming, but I don't know.

228
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:53,000
He's kind of like the new Norv Turner, except he won a Super Bowl. Norv did not as a head coach.

229
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:57,000
Interesting. Interesting.

230
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:01,000
And as for the Bears, yeah, I would expect them to try to get Mike McCarthy because that's what they do.

231
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,000
They spin their wheels over there.

232
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:11,000
The Bears are the graveyard of quarterbacks, and they're proving it once again with Caleb Williams.

233
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:16,000
And now for the unusual head coach news.

234
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:21,000
It will continue with this story, which I found surprising also.

235
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:27,000
Tom Brady and Bill Belichick led the New England Patriots to six Super Bowl titles together.

236
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:34,000
Could the NFL's most successful duo join forces again in Las Vegas, per CBS News is what I'm reading here?

237
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:40,000
Belichick surprisingly took the head coaching job at the University of North Carolina in December,

238
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:47,000
but Brady, now a minority owner of the Raiders, has at least asked his former head coach about making a potential return to the NFL

239
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:53,000
and reuniting with him in Las Vegas, according to the NFL Network's Tom Pacerio.

240
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,000
And, you know, that's pretty solid.

241
00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:03,000
So the Raiders are looking for a new head coach after dismissing Antonio Pierce on Tuesday.

242
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,000
And Brady thinks Belichick is a man for the job.

243
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,000
Brady and Belichick won six Super Bowls together with the Patriots,

244
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:17,000
and sources say Brady believes the situation in Las Vegas requires a coach of Belichick's expertise and stature

245
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:22,000
to establish a sustainable winning program, Pacerio wrote Wednesday.

246
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,000
That would be quite the drastic turn of events in the NFL.

247
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:31,000
And a huge audible by Belichick, since he signed this huge contract.

248
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,000
Could he get out of it?

249
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:37,000
So, you know, Belichick was introduced to Tar Heels less than a month ago,

250
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:41,000
and he was adamant he was serious about his job in Chapel Hill

251
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:47,000
when he asked about potentially leaving for another NFL opportunity.

252
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,000
I didn't come here to leave, he responded.

253
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:53,000
But with Belichick just 15 wins away from breaking Don Schueler's record

254
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,000
for the most wins by an NFL head coach,

255
00:31:55,000 --> 00:32:01,000
he's got to be given a little bit of thought over returning to the pros.

256
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:06,000
Pryin Belichick from North Carolina would be a pricey endeavor for any NFL team,

257
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,000
but not just the salary they'd have to pay the head coach,

258
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:13,000
but a buyout of his contract should he decide to jot down

259
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:18,000
I resign as head coach of UNAC on a napkin in the future.

260
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:25,000
Which is 10 million should Belichick leave the Tar Heels before June 1st, 2025.

261
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:29,000
That number dips to just 1 million after that date.

262
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:33,000
But the Raiders aren't the only team to reach out to Belichick.

263
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:38,000
Multiple NFL teams have inquired about whether legendary coach Bill Belichick

264
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:43,000
would reconsider his move to college football, according to Cerro.

265
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:47,000
In addition to the Raiders, the New York Jets, Chicago Bears, Jacksonville Jaguars,

266
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:53,000
New Orleans Saints are all looking for a new head coach this offseason.

267
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:56,000
The Patriots are in that boat too after firing Jared Mayo.

268
00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:00,000
And we'll go ahead and say it's highly unlikely they're among the teams

269
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:05,000
to reach out to Belichick for a potential return to the pros.

270
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,000
Belichick returning to NFL seems unlikely,

271
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:12,000
but it's been on the recruiting trail for UNC the last month.

272
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:16,000
So he's already recruiting, he's already well established there.

273
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:21,000
So I'm going to say with everything that he's said about he didn't go to UNC just to leave

274
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:26,000
and he's already recruiting, I'm going to say that these teams may want him,

275
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:31,000
but it doesn't seem to me like Belichick gives a shit about Don Schumel's record.

276
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:37,000
And it also seems to me like maybe the college ranks kind of do a little bit more for him

277
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,000
than the NFL does.

278
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,000
I think he probably figured he reached the apex of the NFL.

279
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:47,000
He's never going to win six Super Bowls with any other quarterback.

280
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,000
Maybe even never win a Super Bowl again.

281
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,000
He's got to find that guy.

282
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,000
And I don't think he really wants to go have to find that guy again.

283
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:58,000
And I think, you know what, he's thinking, you know what, college might be pretty cool.

284
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:03,000
I mean, you know, he does have a college girlfriend, you know.

285
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:08,000
So I think probably, I mean, I'm not Bill Belichick, but I would think like this, you know,

286
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:13,000
hey, let's see how well I can do recruiting on Bill Belichick with six ranked.

287
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,000
And it's North Carolina Fable School.

288
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,000
I mean, they're known for basketball school.

289
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,000
But what if he could get them to dominate some football?

290
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,000
Then that would be something to say.

291
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:29,000
So maybe he just looks at this as a challenge and something different

292
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:33,000
because he already reached the apex of anybody could in the NFL.

293
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:38,000
We don't know if anyone's ever going to get six or seven Super Bowl rings again.

294
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:44,000
I mean, Mahomes is doing really good and we'll see what happens, you know.

295
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:51,000
So anyhow, I think Belichick is probably there at UNC to stay at least for a few years.

296
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,000
Who knows? I mean, he's 70 something.

297
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:57,000
So I couldn't see him stay in there real long and then want to go back to the NFL.

298
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:01,000
So he probably doesn't give a shit about Don Schuel's record.

299
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:07,000
The only thing I can add to that is why in the hell would he entertain the Atlanta Falcons like he did?

300
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,000
Why would he even go there?

301
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:13,000
He turned down some other teams that I think would probably be a better fit for him.

302
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:19,000
I mean, and the Atlanta Falcons have not been, I mean, they just, they're constantly stepping on their dick.

303
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,000
And that's just the way it is.

304
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:27,000
So I don't even know why Belichick even went down there to even entertain anything.

305
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:28,000
That surprised me.

306
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:35,000
So, okay. Well, like I was talking about before, and I'm going to go back to this just because when I took my break,

307
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:41,000
an article came on my phone that I wanted to speak about because it backs up what I was saying a little bit ago.

308
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:47,000
Travis Kelsey, I guess, on his podcast, New Heights, said something

309
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:54,000
because there's a, you know, there's that big hubbub about the Chiefs through the game.

310
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:58,000
So anyhow, I like what Kelsey said here.

311
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:06,000
I mean, and I don't blame him. It's bullshit what people are, you know, they're saying you through the game.

312
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:11,000
No, like I said, the Bengals are responsible for them winning.

313
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:16,000
We're, Andy Read and Company, are responsible for us winning.

314
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:21,000
Anything that we do to help us win, we don't give a shit what the Bengals do.

315
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:25,000
And if the Bengals were in our shoes, they would have done the same thing.

316
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:29,000
But here, this sums it up what he said.

317
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,000
He said, I ain't scared of fucking nobody.

318
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,000
I wanted them in the fucking playoffs, Kelsey said.

319
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:38,000
I want to slay every dragon one by one like Mortal Kombat.

320
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,000
I don't even want this to be like we play the lowest seed.

321
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,000
Just give me the best teams.

322
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:46,000
AOC, NFC, give me all of them, Mortal Kombat style.

323
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,000
I'll go through every fucking one of them.

324
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,000
Just give them my best fucking effort.

325
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,000
I ain't scared of a single soul, man.

326
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,000
And you know what? He's right.

327
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:01,000
He goes on to some other, some more comments here that I'll get to.

328
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:02,000
But he's right.

329
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:06,000
You know, if you're the best, you want the best to play you.

330
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:11,000
Because the last thing you want to hear is somebody going, oh, man, you know, they got an easy, easy game.

331
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:15,000
You know, they looked out because so and so had a bad day or whatever.

332
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,000
No, no, no. You don't want to hear any of that.

333
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:23,000
You want to play the big ones because I always said, well, we want to play the Bills.

334
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:27,000
We want to play the Bills because they are seemingly the best team next to us.

335
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:31,000
And we want to beat them and we want to beat them fair and square.

336
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,000
That way it is determined.

337
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:38,000
You know what? The Chiefs are the number one team in the AFC and could be in the NFL.

338
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:42,000
So anyhow, he goes on to say, I'll play them at the Walmart parking lot.

339
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,000
I don't give a shit. Kelsey continued.

340
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:48,000
We can have our own game in the offseason where we really do get out.

341
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,000
Listen, I love competing against the greatest.

342
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:57,000
The Bengals are a fun ass fucking team to watch there toward the end of the season.

343
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:06,000
It's a shame they didn't make it in the playoffs because they would because they would have had made the playoffs so much fucking crazier and that much more fun.

344
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:11,000
So, you know, I mean, and he's right and he's not lying about this, honestly.

345
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:27,000
So. And also, I'm sure that all the hubbub in Cincinnati are just a couple hundred disgruntled fans that don't understand football and don't understand that they are responsible for themselves and we're responsible for us.

346
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,000
And that's just the end of the story.

347
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:30,000
And that's the way it is.

348
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:37,000
So anyhow, there you go. All right. And get ready to get off here on this program here.

349
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:49,000
So I got the upset of the wild cards and that is going to be San Diego will upset the Texans and both of these are in the AFC.

350
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:55,000
And I think the Broncos, they may not win against the Bills, but they are going to fight them till the end.

351
00:38:55,000 --> 00:39:00,000
It's going to be a close ass game with the last minute determining who wins.

352
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,000
So, but I think the Bills will probably take it.

353
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:08,000
But I think the Broncos have a lot of a lot of esteem now.

354
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:12,000
And I think that they they have a lot of confidence.

355
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:19,000
And like I said before, in the last solo cast, they don't know they're supposed to lose to the Bills.

356
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,000
They don't know that they're not supposed to be there yet.

357
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,000
And that's dangerous.

358
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:29,000
So Bo Nicks doesn't know that he's not supposed to out duel Josh Allen.

359
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:37,000
So you put all those together and it will be an interesting, good game and probably go down to the wire.

360
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:40,000
So anyhow, thanks for joining me, everybody.

361
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,000
Have a fantastic evening.

362
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:47,000
Be careful if you're in the snow affected areas that is getting ready to snow again.

363
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:48,000
So be careful.

364
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,000
People are out on the roads not doing the right thing.

365
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:56,000
And Mother Nature's mad at us again, seemingly.

366
00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:00,000
Did you really sit down and listen to all that garbage that was being?

367
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,000
Do you actually believe one inch of it?

368
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,000
I didn't think so.

369
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:21,000
Game over.
