Oh shit, let's get the hell out of here. It's Argumentive Guy.
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.
Why did Harambe stop calling into our original show, Two Dip Shits and a Cheap Radio Shack Candy Recorder?
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.
Sorry Harambe.
Hi there. This is your ears. Why are you listening to this garbage? I thought we were friends.
Hello everybody. This is The Sports Bastards. This is another solo cast edition.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
He had 2688 yards, 13 touchdowns, five interceptions for an 89.8 rating. Mahomes never had a rating that low ever.
In 2021, he had 4611 yards, 34 touchdowns, 14 interceptions and a 108.3 rating.
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.
OK, so so far nothing, nothing even close to that. 4475 yards in 2022, 35 touchdowns, 12 interceptions, 100.8 rating.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
Antonio Pierce had several things that he did towards Mahomes that was idiotic.
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.
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?
Well, if you gave the blueprint for them to beat them, they wouldn't be the number one seed again, would they?
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.
So, okay, if they gave the blueprint, nobody knows how to read blueprints. That's all there is to it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We don't do that because we don't have to. Antonio Pierce and his band of misfits.
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.
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.
They want the ring, you know, like Joey Burrow, you know, he was talking about, you know, how he wanted.
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.
Okay, Joe Burrow was begging the front office of the Cincinnati Bengals to resign T. Higgins.
Okay. Well, how come he has to beg them to resign T. Higgins?
Well, I recall Joey Juicebox, mouthing about Mahomes, given his his team a sweet deal, a cap friendly deal, and it hurt his negotiations.
Okay. Well, maybe if Joey Juicebox did what Mahomes did and gave his team a more a more cap friendly contract like Mahomes did,
he wouldn't have to worry about them resigning T. Higgins. They would have the capital.
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.
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.
So that was a design thing. It's like, go ahead and leave. He'll turn out to be a malcontent anyhow.
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.
But since you were bitching about Mahomes and since you thought you needed more money, well, I guess you may not get him.
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.
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.
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.
All right. So Antonio Pierce, like I said, he coached his players to knock the head of the snake.
So and he was like really he was kind of alluding to hurting him, too.
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.
Well, he's talking about hurting the guy, too. I mean, not only mentally, but physically, too.
Well, Antonio Pierce, he just got fired. The official Patrick Mahomes ex site, Twitter, whatever, just like the post of Pierce getting fired.
And a lot of people like, well, why do you do that? I think I know why.
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.
You're going to think you're going to go, oh, well, why did they fire him?
Number one, Antonio Pierce deserved to be fired because he could not coach well enough to have a team win.
I don't care even with O'Connell. He wanted to keep him.
That was his idea. And he loved O'Connell and thought he could do a great job with him.
And, you know, he he just doesn't have what it takes to be a leading coach.
So there you go. I mean, and I don't blame Mahomes for for liking that. I would, too.
And besides that, Mahomes probably doesn't even run his Twitter or whatever.
It's probably someone else anyhow. And they probably did it.
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.
So anyhow, I mean, that's anyhow, that's too petty for someone like Mahomes.
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.
So he's much too busy. So speaking of Antonio Pierce and being fired.
And then the Jets have been rudderless for quite a while now. It appears as if the Jets and the Raiders both have
requested interviews with our Steve Spagnolo, the defensive coordinator, the great future Hall of Famer Steve Spagnolo.
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.
Don't have your great name ruined by those guys.
Actually go to a real organization that actually has a great front office and likes to win and has a traditional winning.
And you will get that job sooner or later. But I would not go with any of these two teams because they're horrible.
They're going to ruin your value.
And you'll be back to DC and somewhere because those two, those two organizations have a history of ruining great people.
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.
Let's say like Mike Tomlin wants to retire. You'd fit in great up there. I mean there's other ones.
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.
I think you could work with Cincinnati really well, although I'd hate to see you go there because I don't like them.
But I'm telling you there's better organizations that you could go to. I mean how about the Dolphins?
I mean you could do wonders down there. I mean they need, they need whatever they can get down there.
And they have a fairly good nucleus. I mean you know, is Tua Tagovaiola the guy?
Maybe not, but he's a guy that can get you to the playoffs and he can play pretty well.
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.
And something to run with until you find the guy.
So any house bags, hold out. Don't go over these two losers.
And finally let's get over to Tyreek Hill now. Tyreek Hill could not wait to leave Kansas City.
He felt he was dissed, he was butt hurt, and he left and we got quite a few really good draft picks.
Most of them defensively that parlayed into two Super Bowl wins.
Now, the team's pretty much, it doesn't look so good down there now.
They missed the playoffs and Tyreek Hill is acting out.
And he's pretty much trying to force the Dolphins into trading him.
People are saying the Los Angeles Chargers would be a good fit.
I don't know if a guy declining in his 30s, not a very real tall guy.
I'm not, you know, I'm not begging on the guy.
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?
The contract that he got from Miami was the one that was going to pay him.
And that's pretty much what a receiver gets there.
That's the bulk of what they get is that one big contract after they prove themselves the first four years.
So he got that huge contract.
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.
And also with him mouthing off and biting the hand that feeds him.
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.
They don't want to be that team that got their hand bit by this guy.
And also they're not going to pay that kind of money.
They are kind of like what the chiefs are doing is they don't overpay for receivers.
You're either on board or you're not.
And that's it.
You want to win a ring or you don't.
So after four years, you either sign a friendly deal and if you don't, you'll be traded.
I mean, I remember Tyreke Hill demanded pretty much.
He said, you know, I want to trade if you guys can't match Miami's offer here.
You know, he was demanding that he wanted to look around.
And the chief said, OK.
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.
So then they worked out a trade.
So Hill went to the Dolphins.
So and so now suddenly, you know, at first he was like, oh, my God, Tego Viola is better than my homes.
Oh, man, we are going to we are going to win some games down here.
And none of that really.
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.
He's looking over here and shit, man.
You know, they're winning all these Super Bowls and I'm not doing Jack down here.
I mean, so, Tyreke, you did yourself like this.
You're a member of the Chiefs and they were wanting to resign you.
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.
And you're where you're at.
And then you started trying to get the Chiefs to look into trading for you.
You know, when we got Deandre Hopkins, you put the you know, like the what the hell sign up and all this stuff.
And they keep throwing down hints and throwing old pictures of you and the homes together when you're bagging on the guy.
So, well, no wonder they didn't want to.
No wonder they had no interest in you at all.
I see it.
And I think the rest of the world sees it, too.
So, Tyreke, good luck.
If you get out of Miami, good luck.
I mean, because the team you go to, you're going to have to be walking very carefully.
I guarantee that.
And you're not going to see the kind of money you have been seeing either.
I can guarantee that, too.
OK, and we'll get back to some of the Chiefs talk here in a little bit.
I have a thing that Travis Kelsey said on his podcast that I found really good.
I liked it.
I like what he said because he kind of summed up what I was backing up.
I just read it.
I took a break and I had to do a couple of things.
I just came back and I just read it and it backs up exactly what I said a little bit ago.
So now I think everyone's aware of the massive fires in California.
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.
So anyhow, the the NFL issued a statement and it was that the talent city.
Where did it go?
The NFL priority is the safety of the Los Angeles community.
We are grateful for the tireless efforts of the first responders.
Our hearts are with Los Angeles and everyone affected by the fires.
We continue to prepare to play the Vikings Rams game as scheduled Monday night in SoFi Stadium.
As as with all the games, there are contingency plans in the event of a change in location is needed.
In this instance, the game will be played on Monday night at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
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.
So I think it's a pretty good black pack, a backup plan.
I mean, you know, the people that have tickets, I'm sure would travel there.
So, I mean, they just got to take a little cheap plane plane ride there.
So, yeah, I like that.
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.
And it's a hazard to the players and the people, you know, at the stadium and all that.
So we'll see what happens with that.
But right now, they're going to try.
They're going to try to play at SoFi Stadium.
Now, this next one's kind of a shocker.
But actually, if you think of both teams involved, probably not, because both teams are not a very well-run organization.
The Cowboys denied Bears permission to interview Mike McCarthy for their head coach and vacancy for a report.
So Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy appears to be one step closer returning to his role in 2025.
The Chicago Bears requested permission on Monday to interview McCarthy with his five-year Cowboys coaching contract set to expire on January 14th.
But the Cowboys blocked Chicago from doing so on Tuesday per ESPN report.
You know, following Dallas' 23-19 loss to the Commanders that close their 2024 season record at 7 and 10,
both owner and general manager Jerry Jones and McCarthy, especially McCarthy,
made it apparent that they're both leaning towards keeping their union intact and going forward.
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.
McCarthy's 49-34 record since becoming Dallas head coach in 2020 is tied for the eighth bet in the NFL during that span.
So I thought, and evidently a lot of other people talking to him, that Mike McCarthy was going to be on the hot seat
because he's been Cowboy since 2020, and they haven't really went that far.
A couple of early round playoff losses, and that's about it.
And every year they seem to think they're going to be a contender, including this year.
So it would look on the surface like maybe Mike McCarthy was underperforming, but I don't know.
He's kind of like the new Norv Turner, except he won a Super Bowl. Norv did not as a head coach.
Interesting. Interesting.
And as for the Bears, yeah, I would expect them to try to get Mike McCarthy because that's what they do.
They spin their wheels over there.
The Bears are the graveyard of quarterbacks, and they're proving it once again with Caleb Williams.
And now for the unusual head coach news.
It will continue with this story, which I found surprising also.
Tom Brady and Bill Belichick led the New England Patriots to six Super Bowl titles together.
Could the NFL's most successful duo join forces again in Las Vegas, per CBS News is what I'm reading here?
Belichick surprisingly took the head coaching job at the University of North Carolina in December,
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
and reuniting with him in Las Vegas, according to the NFL Network's Tom Pacerio.
And, you know, that's pretty solid.
So the Raiders are looking for a new head coach after dismissing Antonio Pierce on Tuesday.
And Brady thinks Belichick is a man for the job.
Brady and Belichick won six Super Bowls together with the Patriots,
and sources say Brady believes the situation in Las Vegas requires a coach of Belichick's expertise and stature
to establish a sustainable winning program, Pacerio wrote Wednesday.
That would be quite the drastic turn of events in the NFL.
And a huge audible by Belichick, since he signed this huge contract.
Could he get out of it?
So, you know, Belichick was introduced to Tar Heels less than a month ago,
and he was adamant he was serious about his job in Chapel Hill
when he asked about potentially leaving for another NFL opportunity.
I didn't come here to leave, he responded.
But with Belichick just 15 wins away from breaking Don Schueler's record
for the most wins by an NFL head coach,
he's got to be given a little bit of thought over returning to the pros.
Pryin Belichick from North Carolina would be a pricey endeavor for any NFL team,
but not just the salary they'd have to pay the head coach,
but a buyout of his contract should he decide to jot down
I resign as head coach of UNAC on a napkin in the future.
Which is 10 million should Belichick leave the Tar Heels before June 1st, 2025.
That number dips to just 1 million after that date.
But the Raiders aren't the only team to reach out to Belichick.
Multiple NFL teams have inquired about whether legendary coach Bill Belichick
would reconsider his move to college football, according to Cerro.
In addition to the Raiders, the New York Jets, Chicago Bears, Jacksonville Jaguars,
New Orleans Saints are all looking for a new head coach this offseason.
The Patriots are in that boat too after firing Jared Mayo.
And we'll go ahead and say it's highly unlikely they're among the teams
to reach out to Belichick for a potential return to the pros.
Belichick returning to NFL seems unlikely,
but it's been on the recruiting trail for UNC the last month.
So he's already recruiting, he's already well established there.
So I'm going to say with everything that he's said about he didn't go to UNC just to leave
and he's already recruiting, I'm going to say that these teams may want him,
but it doesn't seem to me like Belichick gives a shit about Don Schumel's record.
And it also seems to me like maybe the college ranks kind of do a little bit more for him
than the NFL does.
I think he probably figured he reached the apex of the NFL.
He's never going to win six Super Bowls with any other quarterback.
Maybe even never win a Super Bowl again.
He's got to find that guy.
And I don't think he really wants to go have to find that guy again.
And I think, you know what, he's thinking, you know what, college might be pretty cool.
I mean, you know, he does have a college girlfriend, you know.
So I think probably, I mean, I'm not Bill Belichick, but I would think like this, you know,
hey, let's see how well I can do recruiting on Bill Belichick with six ranked.
And it's North Carolina Fable School.
I mean, they're known for basketball school.
But what if he could get them to dominate some football?
Then that would be something to say.
So maybe he just looks at this as a challenge and something different
because he already reached the apex of anybody could in the NFL.
We don't know if anyone's ever going to get six or seven Super Bowl rings again.
I mean, Mahomes is doing really good and we'll see what happens, you know.
So anyhow, I think Belichick is probably there at UNC to stay at least for a few years.
Who knows? I mean, he's 70 something.
So I couldn't see him stay in there real long and then want to go back to the NFL.
So he probably doesn't give a shit about Don Schuel's record.
The only thing I can add to that is why in the hell would he entertain the Atlanta Falcons like he did?
Why would he even go there?
He turned down some other teams that I think would probably be a better fit for him.
I mean, and the Atlanta Falcons have not been, I mean, they just, they're constantly stepping on their dick.
And that's just the way it is.
So I don't even know why Belichick even went down there to even entertain anything.
That surprised me.
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,
an article came on my phone that I wanted to speak about because it backs up what I was saying a little bit ago.
Travis Kelsey, I guess, on his podcast, New Heights, said something
because there's a, you know, there's that big hubbub about the Chiefs through the game.
So anyhow, I like what Kelsey said here.
I mean, and I don't blame him. It's bullshit what people are, you know, they're saying you through the game.
No, like I said, the Bengals are responsible for them winning.
We're, Andy Read and Company, are responsible for us winning.
Anything that we do to help us win, we don't give a shit what the Bengals do.
And if the Bengals were in our shoes, they would have done the same thing.
But here, this sums it up what he said.
He said, I ain't scared of fucking nobody.
I wanted them in the fucking playoffs, Kelsey said.
I want to slay every dragon one by one like Mortal Kombat.
I don't even want this to be like we play the lowest seed.
Just give me the best teams.
AOC, NFC, give me all of them, Mortal Kombat style.
I'll go through every fucking one of them.
Just give them my best fucking effort.
I ain't scared of a single soul, man.
And you know what? He's right.
He goes on to some other, some more comments here that I'll get to.
But he's right.
You know, if you're the best, you want the best to play you.
Because the last thing you want to hear is somebody going, oh, man, you know, they got an easy, easy game.
You know, they looked out because so and so had a bad day or whatever.
No, no, no. You don't want to hear any of that.
You want to play the big ones because I always said, well, we want to play the Bills.
We want to play the Bills because they are seemingly the best team next to us.
And we want to beat them and we want to beat them fair and square.
That way it is determined.
You know what? The Chiefs are the number one team in the AFC and could be in the NFL.
So anyhow, he goes on to say, I'll play them at the Walmart parking lot.
I don't give a shit. Kelsey continued.
We can have our own game in the offseason where we really do get out.
Listen, I love competing against the greatest.
The Bengals are a fun ass fucking team to watch there toward the end of the season.
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.
So, you know, I mean, and he's right and he's not lying about this, honestly.
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.
And that's just the end of the story.
And that's the way it is.
So anyhow, there you go. All right. And get ready to get off here on this program here.
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.
And I think the Broncos, they may not win against the Bills, but they are going to fight them till the end.
It's going to be a close ass game with the last minute determining who wins.
So, but I think the Bills will probably take it.
But I think the Broncos have a lot of a lot of esteem now.
And I think that they they have a lot of confidence.
And like I said before, in the last solo cast, they don't know they're supposed to lose to the Bills.
They don't know that they're not supposed to be there yet.
And that's dangerous.
So Bo Nicks doesn't know that he's not supposed to out duel Josh Allen.
So you put all those together and it will be an interesting, good game and probably go down to the wire.
So anyhow, thanks for joining me, everybody.
Have a fantastic evening.
Be careful if you're in the snow affected areas that is getting ready to snow again.
So be careful.
People are out on the roads not doing the right thing.
And Mother Nature's mad at us again, seemingly.
Did you really sit down and listen to all that garbage that was being?
Do you actually believe one inch of it?
I didn't think so.
Game over.
