Well, since the sports show can't be called two douchebags with a microphone,
maybe we could just call them the sports bastards.
The sports bastards. The only sports show with gusto.
That's right, I said gusto. Just like Schlitt's beer. Google it.
Harambe used to listen to our original show, Two Dipchats and a Cheap Radio Shack Realistic Tape Recorder.
Harambe does not listen to our original show, Two Dipchats and a Cheap Radio Shack Realistic Tape Recorder anymore.
You might ask why Harambe never listens to our original show, Two Dipchats and a Cheap Radio Shack Realistic Tape Recorder.
Well, it's because Harambe is dead.
Senselessly murdered because some idiot did not watch her child properly while looking on her phone.
Sadly, Harambe does not listen to our original show, Two Dipchats and a Cheap Radio Shack Realistic Tape Recorder, or any other show, anymore.
Sorry, Harambe.
Hello there, sports bastards. This is Mark. Thanks for joining me.
I wanted to get into a few things first, but you know, it's kind of come to my attention.
I've been thinking about it. And of course, the last sports bastards I got into the house, Cincinnati, is throwing a bunch of shade at us, saying that we're afraid of them.
When I don't get that at all, I mean, we've been dominating them.
I mean, we've won against them, what, three or four times in a row.
We've knocked them out of the playoffs every time.
Besides that one year when Mahomes tried to take the team on the back in overtime, he made a mistake.
It wasn't Cincinnati doing it. It was Mahomes doing it.
And you know what? I mean, when you have to take a team on your back like him, sometimes you make a mistake.
But, you know, like I said before, you know, at one time, Babe Ruth was the home run king, but he was also the strikeout king.
So that's what you get. Mahomes is a hero. He's the guy that takes the team on his back and like he's shown us.
So anyhow, we are the Bengal Super Bowl every year.
I almost think if they don't anticipate on getting to the Super Bowl, they anticipate playing us and trying to win.
And it bothers them. It burns their ass knowing that we've dominated them and how cocky they got after that one win.
Oh, how cool they thought they were. You know, they just thought they were something else and the burrowhead stuff and all that.
And now all of a sudden they're like a bunch of crying little bitches.
But we are their Super Bowl. And not only that, but we are in their head so much.
I mean, we should, you know, the thing is, is this right here, they should put them in the NFC.
That way they don't have to worry about us all the time.
That way they can just shut their mouths and go try to beat someone else.
So anyhow, and also you had a subpar season. Don't blame us. You're the you guys are the ones that lost everybody.
We didn't. You know why we're in a position to knock you out of the playoffs every year?
Is because we're usually better than you. And the reason it's done every year is because we are better than you.
So Natty, sit your ass down. Shut up. Geez.
Alright. And then while I'm talking about stuff like this, first off, don't give that little pussy, skip-tard Bayless any of your available time.
I mean, ball this. He needs to tend to his own lawsuit allegations and you know, and not be a complete stroke.
Speaking of stroke, look up his lawsuit against him. The little fucking nasty, allegedly.
Okay. So the Jets are reaching big time trying to get that guy to turn the Jets fortunes around.
Listen to this list of who they're trying to get here. And like I've already stated it, man, if I was Spagnolo, I'd be like, no, no, no, that's cool.
Jets, that's okay. I'll find a real team to go to. I've got a pick. I've got my pick because I am a Hall of Fame defensive coach.
So I don't need you guys. So, okay. So the Jets are going for these are guys that they hope can turn their fortunes around if they land one of them.
If they need them, get them there for a interview. So Detroit's defensive line coordinator, Aaron Glenn, Mike Vrabel,
who is rumored to be the favorite going to the Patriots. Now I know which job I'd rather have the Patriots, not the Jets.
I mean, and now you're a couple of coaches removed from Belichick, so you're not so much in the shadow.
Now you're kind of allowed to to build a team up the team so bad. So you're allowed some grace time there, you know, and you're going to have a good draft pick, a couple of good draft picks.
So Mike Vrabel will probably go up there. But if not, I look for him to maybe try to get Spags.
Now, the only thing that the Jets may have in favor for Spags is Spags was with the Giants for a few years and he knows New York and he may want to go there.
You know, he may know some people have some friends. I'm sure he does. But I mean, I'm still saying that all that aside, you can see him on the weekends.
You can fly there or something, you know. So anyhow, Texans offensive coordinator Bobby Slowick, Rex Ryan. That guy's a dud.
I don't think I've heard anyone with as much shit except Skip Bayless, Ballas, Skip Tard Ballas and Ron Rivera, Riverboat Ron.
So, you know, that may be a good hire there, too. You know, the former Panthers and commanders head coach and of course, our boy Steve Spagnolo.
Oh, and also, let's not forget, Marilyn Turpin's college head coach, Mike Glotsky, which may not be that may not be a bad pick at all.
I mean, that guy's done some good stuff up there and they like him. So, I mean, you know, sometimes that transition is good.
I mean, you know, Pete Carroll bode well for him. Anyhow, everyone was saying about what he's going to be in the NFL.
He promptly gets into the playoffs every year, wins the Super Bowl. So, OK.
So they will be done with all their interviews just in time for the 2025 season.
I'm saying maybe September when the first game comes about and they will they'll have all these interviews done.
So anyhow, Deshaun Watson, after his first surgery on his repaired ankle, rolled his ankle again, leading to a second rupture of his Achilles tendon.
He is likely to miss significant time during the 2025 season.
So, OK, he gets he gets his ankle repaired, then he promptly goes out and fucks it up again and he needs more surgery.
I mean, the Browns are, you know, he's going to miss significant time 2025.
You know, the Browns, they kick Mayfield to the curb and they go out and get this go Bozo and they gave him a guaranteed 230 million.
The Browns said to the Jets, hold my beer. You know, I mean, that's how bad they are.
You know, I bet we can ruin a team much deeper than you can.
I think after a certain amount of mishaps, the Browns have done maybe I could see why Art Modell moved fucking in the middle of the night.
They go to Baltimore. He saw this curse years ago.
They go to Baltimore and what happens? They start winning.
The Browns are a cursed organization. I mean, it's yeah, it's not even close.
I mean, bad. So let's go on to something a little bit different here.
Can't see chiefs players may be taking a week off heading into the playoffs, but they are not immune from the household chores. Many of us face, including shoveling snow.
Amid Kansas City's historic snowstorm this week, Chiefs quarterback Jalen Watson, who might be back, he took to Twitter to ask his followers for a shovel to borrow.
I mean, I have talked about it and Robin talked about it. We got shit ton of snow here and then we got another snow on top of the big snow.
So one chiefs fan user responded to Watson and offered his services to the two time Super Bowl champion.
After exchanging Twitter DMs, the Twitter user met up with Watson to shovel his snow and the second year defensive back rewarded him with a signed authentic jersey that read to William.
Thanks for all the help and support. Go Chiefs. Watson has been sideline since week seven due to an ankle injury, but he is expected to return to action during Kansas City's playoff run after the Chiefs opened his practice window last week.
So I mean, it may not be the first game he's back.
We are going to face the lowest seed.
So we'll see who is left. Right now it's looking like the Texans unless the Broncos can pull something off, then it'll be the Broncos.
So I think that maybe Jalen Watson can maybe sit this next one out, practice a little bit more and then come back for the big game when there's against the Ravens or the Bills, unless the Broncos knock the Bills off, which is entirely possible, which I could see happening.
So they're going to go on to something a little bit different here.
The Raiders, their limited owner Tom Brady is expected to be part of a collaborative committee to interview head coaching candidates and support them for team owner Mark Davis.
League sources told Adam Schefter,
We appreciate Antonio's leadership, first as an intern head coach and then this past season as a head coach. Antonio grew up a Raiders fan and his silver and black roots run deep. He's an idiot.
We are grateful, in my opinion, we are grateful for his ability to reignite what it means to be a Raider throughout the entire organization.
We had nothing but the best for him, for Antonio and his family in the future, the team said in statements. So in other words, good luck on your future endeavors. Get the fuck out of here is what it is.
And that's it.
Pierce, who was hired last season as team's head coach after serving as interim coach in 2023, led the Raiders to a 4-13 record this season.
He said in his media availability Monday that he was operating as if he would remain as a team's coach, but acknowledged that he had not yet met with Davis. Well, we all know how that went.
The Raiders lost 30-40-20 to the Los Angeles Chargers, who we're going to get to here in a minute, and Justin Herbert and his fail.
And as we'll get that here, man on Sunday to finish this season that included a 10 game losing streak, the team's longest since 2014 when they opened 0 and 10.
The Raiders were now look to hire their fifth head coach since relocating to Las Vegas in 2020 and their ninth since Davis took over his owner upon the death of his father, Al Davis, in 2011.
And he doesn't look like he's much better. Now, the only thing that might help him out is Tom Brady. He knows football and he knows players.
So I think that they are going to get better. But I still wonder how this NFL, how he's a commentator and how that's going to jive with owning an NFL team and having too much input because of influence that you can have.
This is going to be interesting because I know the NFL does not want to set a president like this. So we're going to see where this goes.
Las Vegas finished last in this division and clinched the number six draft pick on Sunday.
The remaining AFC teams, the Chiefs, of course, number one seed, Broncos, which was the seventh, and Chargers, who are now out, advanced to the playoffs.
Pierce 46 was initially promoted from linebackers coach to interim head coach when Davis fired Josh McDaniels and general managers Dave Ziegler after less than two full seasons on Halloween night in 2023.
The Raiders went five and four under Pierce to finish out 2023, including a four and two in AFC West with a 63-21 blowout of the Chargers to finish eight and nine overall.
And their big claim to fame that year was beating the Chiefs on Christmas Day and the Chiefs promptly only lost.
Well, technically two times, but really one time after that, you know, with their backups.
After an offensive, after an offseason during which the Raiders were either unable or unwilling to trade up for a quarterback in the draft,
Pierce had his eyes on Jaden Daniels, but he was selected at number two and six quarterbacks were drafted before the Raiders selection at number 13.
Las Vegas settled for free agent veteran Gardner Minchew, giving him a two-year, $25 million contract with $15 million guaranteed.
The Raiders also had an argument with the former Arizona...oh no, not an argument, agreement. What the hell am I saying here?
The Raiders also had an agreement with former Arizona Cardinals coach Cliff Kingsbury to come aboard as offensive coordinator before he pulled out and went to the Washington Commanders who drafted Daniels.
Yeah, that warms my cold, cruel heart.
Pierce settled on former Bears offensive coordinator Luke Getsky. Yeah, okay. We see how that went.
And Minchew won a tight training camp battle with a second-year quarterback Aiden O'Connell.
Spagnolo also has NFL head coach and experience from three seasons with the St. Louis Rams 2009 to 2011.
And as the Giants interim head coach in 2017, he's been reported that the Raiders requested an interview with him.
Four hours ago, if I were Spags, I would beg the Chiefs to block permission for the Raiders. That way it looks like he wanted a head coaching job, but it's too bad they blocked it. I can't go.
And that's to save Spags. Nothing else. If I was him, I would go to Brett Veach and say, hey, look, I want to become a head coach. Yes.
But the Raiders asked me to come over and interview. Can you please block that? Because I don't want people to think I don't want a head coaching job, but I damn sure don't want to go there.
So that's my thought right there.
Anyhow, I bet Tom Brady put the thoughts in their head because he's a big fan of Spagnolo. And see the Super Bowl where the Patriots were 16-0 and then undefeated all the way to the Super Bowl.
And they were the Giants, I think, were like seven and nine. I don't even think they were 50-50. You know, I don't even think they're 500.
And they beat the Patriots thanks to Spagnolo and his incredible, interesting blitzes and blocks and schemes that he came up with.
And he beat the big bad Patriots and he held them to, I believe, 10 points. This juggernaut that was scoring points at will.
He beat them like that. So of course Tom Brady's going to be looking at that guy going, alright, well he beat my ass, but I think I can use him now. It would be nice if we're on the same team.
So I'm pretty sure that's probably what happened.
So now let's get to the Chargers against the Texans.
Number one, the Texans are good, but not that good. So how good are the Chargers?
Well, Justin Herbert only threw three interceptions all year, and he threw four in this game.
He looked horrible, but then again he didn't have any pass protection either. He was getting mangled. He was getting slammed to the ground.
You know, he was just like, he was getting just right off the bat he was getting mangled.
But that's no excuse for all the interceptions. I mean, throw the ball away.
Throw the ball away. Don't throw it into coverage. And he had a pick six. That pretty much set him back to nothing.
About that time that pick six happened, you see everybody. And then there was an interesting safety.
A blocked extra point attempt that was run 80 yards back into the end zone for a safety and two points.
And then of course the Texans who just scored the safety got the ball back.
So anyhow, I don't know what else to say about that. The Chargers are not that good a team.
Jim Harbaugh looked embarrassed. He looked frustrated.
Herbert, I've never seen him do anything in big games. He's been in two playoff games. In both of them he's laid duds.
I don't know if Justin Herbert is all of that, even though he was getting creamed at the line.
Even though he's getting body slammed every other play. Still, I don't think Herbert has that thing. He doesn't have that it.
I remember when he was going to surpass Mahomes in his first year or second year.
I was just like, oh my God, this guy's better than Mahomes. And I was like, okay, you know what?
Let's just see. Let's just quit jumping out of our skin here. Let's quit kissing this guy's ass right now and saying he's that good.
And I was right. He isn't that good. And they're just dying for someone. Someone else.
Now they're hanging their fucking hat on Josh Allen, who is probably the second best quarterback of the leagues.
And then third is probably Lamar Jackson.
And the Lions are really good, but they can be stopped. And I look for the Lions to be the opponent.
Unless, unless Dan Campbell wets down his leg again.
Last year in that game, the NFC Championship game, he did a lot of chances he didn't have to.
It looked kind of uncharacteristic. And I don't know why he went that route. But when he lost a couple of them, you could see the team kind of getting deflated.
So unless he pulls a bonehead move like that again, I think they should win it and they should win it handily.
And besides that, I'm not sure if the Vikings, Philadelphia maybe.
But I don't think the Vikings are equipped to beat him. And I'm not even sure they're going to be there to play him actually.
I kind of. But then again, I thought the Chargers were going to manhandle the Texans and I was completely wrong.
Justin Herbert went down his leg and Jim Harbaugh didn't have an answer. So what do I know?
But I see the Vikings primed for an upset because I think that they made giant steps this year from last year.
And the fact that they put Sam Darnold in there and they're winning like they were speaks volumes for their scheme and their defense and everything.
And they, you know, they are a really good team, but I don't think they've quite arrived yet.
So I think you're going to have to wait a year or two and they have to come up with a couple of draft picks and maybe a couple of accusations.
And then they may be there. I think this year is kind of up to Philly and it's kind of up to the Lions.
It'd be interesting if it would be a rematch of Super Bowl ago, not the last one, the one before.
And that would be the Eagles versus the Chiefs.
That would be interesting one because the Chiefs played the 49ers two times and got them both in the Super Bowl.
So don't ask Jerry Rice any questions about that. He doesn't like to answer them.
He gets very, very pissy that his team lost to the Chiefs two times.
So, all right.
Speaking of the Chiefs and Mahomes, you know, here's something that's been going around and people are like, you know, and I agree.
Yeah, Mahomes was snubbed really bad on the Pro Bowl.
Yes, yeah, he should have been in it. But what's funny is no one has ever heard Mahomes talking about being snubbed in the Pro Bowl.
Here's the number one reason. He'll be busy practicing for the game he's been waiting for all season.
He doesn't give a shit about that game. That game is play time.
It's flag football. And he's like, no, no, no, we'll go play for the real.
We're going to go play for the trophy while you kids go bat around over there with your flag football bullshit.
OK, you're also talking about a guy, Mahomes, his drive is unmatched.
He welcomes the naysayers and doubters and just flat out haters. He welcomes it.
He doesn't care. You know, as a matter of fact, I think he thrives on it.
I think he thrives when you got a little skip toward ballists mealy mouthing him over there. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
Like a little Chihuahua. That little bitch, you know, with all the allegations and stuff and the lawsuit and all that stuff.
Allegedly doing nasty stuff and all that stuff. You know, that Skip Bayless. Yeah, that guy.
I think that Mahomes probably just like, OK, all right, say what you will.
Everybody, everybody have your fun. Oh, no, he's no good. I know he lost it.
He can't do it anymore. Meanwhile, he is 15 and one.
So this could be interesting because Mahomes thrives on these little back biters.
He's been proven a little back nippers wrong since day one.
And I think I look for him to continue to do that.
Another thing that's going to be really interesting is is the chiefs are starting to fire on all cylinders on the offense.
They finally have enough receivers healthy. They finally have enough of a they may have came up with a pass protection scheme with Tuni and
moving some other people around a little bit and also have Mahomes get rid of the ball quicker.
So that seems to be working pretty good, too. So all of those in tandem seems to be making that offense run quite a bit better.
Which should be scary to everybody because now Mahomes has some people to throw to and he has different options.
And you're not going to stop all of them. You're not going to stop all of them.
I mean, worthy. I mean, look at worthy. He he start piling it on in the last of the season because they tried to block Hawkins.
They tried to block Brown. They tried to block Kelsey.
And let's say they got them all. Then you got worthy running around somewhere free or vice versa.
Or Noah Gray or Justin Watson has some pretty big catches.
And he also he also could be a guy that sneaks out there in the flat and they have no idea.
And there he is wide open. Bam. And Mahomes has got him for a 50 yard chunk.
So this is going to be nice. It's going to be funny. And I hope it is vindication once again on all these little nippers like that little skiptard ballist.
That guy over there nipping, nipping, nipping. That's the only thing he's got going for him.
The only thing at no talented piece of shit, in my opinion, has going for him is counterprogramming. That's it.
That's all he does. And he does that very well because he is a little bitch, in my opinion.
So also I got an email and but just for this right here for the sports bastards, not the douchebags, not the music creeps, nothing.
The music creeps never gets any email. Nobody. I don't know what the deal is with that.
I mean, I guess we're making everybody happy on that, which I find absurd.
I don't think there's no making everybody happy at all. So anyhow, he says, I talk about the Chiefs too much.
Well, I am located in Kansas City and I do know that team the best. So, you know, I'm not trying to do that.
I naturally do that. And also the Chiefs are one of the best teams and and had officially had a dynasty going for quite a while now.
So, I mean, why wouldn't I speak of them more than anything else?
You know, I'm also a fan of other things like like Jaden Daniels. Big fan of his. I want to see what he becomes.
C.J. Stroud is starting to mature and doing pretty good.
There's a lot of other players that are really like Caleb Williams might be another skeleton in the closet of the graveyard of quarterbacks over there in Chicago.
He has so much talent, but you can just see him deteriorating with that organization.
As a matter of fact, I think the NFL needs to put their foot down until Chicago.
And let's see who else? A couple other teams. But definitely Chicago.
You can't draft a quarterback anymore. You can't draft him number one and maybe not even number two.
You have to wait till the third round to draft a quarterback because we're getting sick and tired of you ruining these quarterbacks.
It should have had great careers, you know, and and I mean, there really is a pretty good argument for that.
I tell you. And there are some other ones, too.
I mean, I'd say Carolina, but they have had a little success with some of their quarterbacks like Cam Newton, DeLome, Kerry.
What's his name? I can't that Collins, Kerry Collins.
They've had some decent quarterbacks come through there, if not in the top 10 type of people.
Cam Newton was really badass in his day, so I can't put Carolina on there. And also Young.
He's he's looking like he's starting. Bryce Young is looking like he's starting to kind of get with it.
He's throwing some really nice passes. He's not consistent enough yet, but I can see something to work with there.
Anyhow, this is going to be interesting. Josh Allen, I think he's a hell of a talent.
Same way with Jackson Lamar Jackson, one hell of a talent, too.
But if you want to talk about best quarterbacks, I'm sorry, it's got to be Mahomes.
He's had the most game winning drives in a season, and that's eight this year by a long shot.
He has beat everyone else on game winning drives.
So all these close scores that you've seen, right, beaten by one or two points. Who did that?
Mahomes engineered a drive at the last minute that was successful, and it led to the Chiefs win.
Now, I remember like the second. Well, the first game was shoe gate, and that's where likely had the tip of his foot.
And because he wears black shoes, it was pretty obvious on tape.
He was just over the line and time ran out, so they didn't get a chance to do the two pointer.
So the Chiefs won by one point.
You see, John Harbaugh was going to go for the win because he's smart enough to know if you're on the road
and you're against a team like Kansas City, you don't give Mahomes the ball back if you can help him.
So he was going to go for two, and they might have gotten it. Our defense was gassed, but no, he was just over.
So and then come out Cincinnati, you know, so what I'm saying there is Mahomes orchestrated that last drive.
And then Lamar Jackson did good coming there, you know, and trying to.
I mean, he did the same thing. Mahomes did.
He went down the field in a decent amount of time to try to win, but it didn't quite work out for them.
Cincinnati game was tied up.
Mahomes gets the ball like what? I mean, a minute, 10 less, something like that.
Promptly gets the ball down, gets it within field goal range, then turns it over to Harrison Butker.
Butker hits a field goal. Bam. We win that game.
So that game, Burrow didn't come up with it. No, no, no.
The guy who did it was Mahomes. He engineered the game winning drive and got it done.
Now, Andy Reid and everybody else has a huge hand in it.
You know, Travis Kelsey, you know, there are a lot of people who didn't have Hopkins yet,
but there's a lot of people that had a lot of Rushie Rice was still there.
Brown was out. But still, Mahomes is a guy that did this.
He did this eight times this year when they really needed him.
He was there and he got the win. So anyhow, I mean, the Pro Bowl snub who gives a shit?
None of our chiefs are going to go there anyhow because they're going to be busy.
But it just shows you how ignorant the NFL and people that watch NFL can be.
And also, it's Midwestern bias. I'll say it. Midwestern bias.
They don't like little brother, the weak fields in the middle of the land.
They don't like us winning. It's got to be a coast team, West Coast, East Coast.
They want them winning. They don't want us winning because they think that we can't win.
We are little brother and we're not to be seen or heard.
We're just kind of there for punching bags for the both the coast.
But we get this thing going here and all of a sudden all you hear is just bullshit constantly about the referees.
Oh, he did this. Oh, he did it. You know, oh, they did this and got away with.
Oh, that was illegal. You know, all this stuff. So, you know, sour grapes Midwest bias.
All that put together is why seemingly the whole world is against us.
But to be fair, the Patriots have the same problem and Tom Brady had the same problem.
They they got a lot of flack and they used to have the thing about the referees love them and all this stuff.
Well, I can tell you this. OK, I'm not a fan of the players signing jerseys for the referees.
I think that should be a no no. Chit chatting is one thing.
Tom Brady used to chat him up, man. He was so nice to him, so cordial, so happy inviting.
And I think if someone does that, they can help but be a little bias.
You know, they'll give you that call when you need it a little bit if it's questionable, but just kind of, you know, Tom Brady got that.
Mahomes saw that, I think, or maybe it's just Mahomes natural demeanor.
And he does the same thing. And does he every now and then maybe get a little bit better of a call?
Possibly. But ended up to the other team to figure that out and do the same thing.
Go over there and hey, chat it up with the referees and, you know, tell some jokes, ask them how the kids are, how's the wife, all this stuff.
And how's the weather up there and uscalusa or whatever.
So, you know, that's up to the other team to either do the same thing or figure out a different thing to do.
Some sort of a gimmick to give them the edge.
I mean, that's how come teams used to put like oily substances on their shirts and stuff.
I mean, you can consider it cheating, but they kind of consider it getting the edge.
Sign stealing, figuring out people's plays, stuff like that.
That stuff's been going on forever. Deflating balls.
I bet you anything, Tom Brady's not the only one that has done that.
That came from somewhere. And from what I understand in red, that's been an age old gimmick in the NFL.
You know, the other, the opposing team, the balls are going to be maybe even a little bit overinflated and hard.
So they can't throw them as well. And then whenever their balls are being thrown,
they're going to make sure they're a little under pressure, a little bit easier to reach your hands around, a little bit easier to catch.
So, you know, that stuff's been going on if that NFL forever.
So anyhow, the cheating thing, you can say whatever you can say.
You have the refs in your back pocket, but ultimately at the end of the day, the best team wins because they might influence the game some.
But still, if your team's that good, you're going to overcome it.
And the Chiefs were the most penalized team in the NFL anyhow.
So I don't know how they get this, especially at offense.
The offense had more points taken back because of penalties.
Actually, you know what? No, they're not. Sorry. I remember seeing that article and it was bogus.
OK, they're not. They were not the most penalized team there in the top, but they're not the most penalized team in the NFL or the AFC this year.
But they are. They have the most points taken back on offensive drives because of penalties.
So that right there, you know, I think that's an argument that you can't win because if we really did have the refs in our back pocket,
they sure as hell wouldn't be in the business of taking our points back.
So anyhow, it's just stupid people and nothing to say.
Don't want us to win, you know, fucking hating, what have you.
So anyhow, keep biting our backs, bitches. We're still going to be there.
So and as I'm doing this podcast right now, it appears that the Baltimore Ravens are probably going to kick the shit out of Steelers.
It's a 514 left in the third quarter is 28 to 7 Baltimore.
And they just did something interesting. The Steelers have the ball and they called a timeout.
And then they have Justin Fields come in and then they scrapped that and they had Russell Wilson come back in and they sent Fields back to the sidelines.
So it appears that Pittsburgh is just they're getting their ass kicked so bad that they just don't know what to do.
Not very calm and Mike Tomlin to do some stuff like that.
Uncharacteristic of the confusion. Usually he has things in hand really good.
But as of right now, I can tell you it appears as if the Ravens are going to beat the Steelers handily.
So I may add on to this podcast. We'll see.
Supposed to do the douchebags tomorrow night, but there's going to be some games going on tomorrow that I'm going to speak about.
So I may do them in two separate shows or I may do them just, you know, all together.
So anyhow, so I will we'll see what happens.
OK, I mean, whatever's next is next, whether I shut this bitch off or whatever remains to be seen.
Hello, this is Mark and this is the sports bastards.
This is the next day.
Yesterday, I reported on the games on Saturday and this is Sunday now.
And I'm kind of piecemeal and together this whole little thing here that I'm doing here.
This whole, you know, sports cast, whatever you want to call it sports bastards.
Only it's just one bastard right now.
So, OK, when we left off, I thought that the Broncos were going to put up a little bit better fight against the Bills.
And the sad thing is at halftime, they're only down by three points and they would have been tied 10 to 10 if it wasn't for the Broncos in that kicker, their field goal kicker who could not get it through.
And it was a pretty much a chip shot.
And so they went down by three points, but Sean Payton was systematically destroyed by Sean McDermott and Josh Allen and a running game mainly by Josh Allen.
And they when they went into the locker room, you would think that Sean Payton would have some sort of answer to what's going on.
But they they didn't.
Afterwards, you could just see the Bills or the superior team and just smothered them and destroyed them 31 to 7.
So that was a blowout.
And then the next one was a blowout too.
And it was the Eagles against the Packers.
And it wasn't close either.
The Packers, I mean, Jordan Love threw two interceptions, I believe, possibly three.
No, actually, I think it might have been three by the time it's all over.
It's either two or three.
But Jordan Love didn't look good.
None of the Packers look especially good.
They look lethargic.
They look flat.
The Eagles didn't look very impressive, really.
I think to me, it looked more like the Packers weren't playing with the shit as opposed to the Eagles outplaying them.
But I got to give them, you know, I got to give them credit, though.
I mean, the Eagles won.
And it was what I consider pretty much a blowout.
I mean, 22 to 10.
It really wasn't that close either.
So it's interesting.
So hopefully it's Buccaneer's Commander's game that's going on right now.
17 to 13.
It's going to be the game that is going to be the close one, the Nut Tucker.
So we'll see about this.
Interesting stuff, that's for sure.
I mean, Sean Payton, he has a lot to be happy about, actually.
I mean, you know, Bo Nix looks good.
He's got a pretty solid team.
They need to add some key elements because they're not quite there yet.
But the Broncos could be a major player in the Western Division and maybe trying to upstage the Chiefs who have dominated that division for nine years now.
This could be the team that they're trying to assemble and generate a team that can do that, that could maybe win the Western Division when the Chiefs maybe have a down year or something.
The Broncos seem to be getting there.
And I mean, they're doing the right thing.
They're getting a lot of it through the draft.
They had so much dead-cap space that they had to let Russell Wilson go and all that.
It wasn't pretty sight.
It looks like they're kind of digging themselves out of the hole.
And I mean, to make the playoffs this year, it's actually pretty remarkable considering what they were working with.
So, you know, Sean Payton kind of coached above what the team is.
And Sean McDermott and the Bills are doing fantastic.
I wouldn't be surprised to see the Bills being in Kansas City.
Of course, I'm taking it a lot for granted because this is NFL.
But I'm thinking the Chiefs are going to beat the Texans at home.
But I would also like to say the NFL is like that.
You know, I mean, you'll have teams that just get hot on fire or play other teams better.
Some teams understand what another team is doing well enough to beat them.
So we'll see what happens, man.
But the Texans, they did a very solid job against the Chargers.
And they made Justin Herbert look like a high school punk.
I tell you, they just destroyed him.
They just completely destroyed him.
And Justin Herbert, I don't know, two playoff games now.
And he's got to remind me of Philip Rivers, only not as dynamic.
Because I was talking to a friend of mine at work, and I'm like, you know,
at least Philip Rivers has a question about maybe being in the Hall of Fame.
It would make someone think and maybe nod their hat to him, even though he didn't win a Super Bowl.
And he really wasn't that effective in the playoffs.
He had enough numbers and was so prolific, he could be considered for the Hall.
Justin Herbert would not even sniff it.
So, you know, Philip Rivers and the Justin Herbert kind of comparison that's been going on here lately,
I think it's no question Philip Rivers' head and tails about Justin Herbert.
So I thought Jim Harbaugh was going to have them play that game better.
But when you're a quarterback, though, with that many interceptions, it's kind of hard to win.
You can't keep turning the ball over and expecting any type of a result in your favor.
So interesting stuff.
So right now, let's go over to the Commander's Buccaneers game and take a look at this and see what's going on.
The Buccaneers are first and 10 at the Tampa Bay 15.
And the commanders are, let's see, OK, Jaden Daniels so far 18 to 29, 211 yards, one touchdown.
Russian yards, Jaden Daniels 10 carries so far, 36 yards.
Baker Mayfield 13 to 16, 139 yards, two touchdowns.
Irving is a leading rusher and that's 14 carries for 64 yards so far.
Taryn McLaurin 5 receiving yards for 79 yards or five receptions for 79 yards.
And that is, you know, of the commanders.
And Mike Evans is leading seven receptions for 92 yards and one touchdown.
Mike Evans is having the hell of a game.
The Buccaneers are only up by four points, but it looks to me like the Buccaneers might be kind of ascending away from this.
So we will see what is going on with that.
And I may just end this portion on piecemeal and that's together.
So I'm sorry, but I think I'm going to end this portion of it and then I will come back when that game is over.
And I will do an analysis of what I saw there and maybe go into some of the lineups coming up.
So, anyhow, the completion of the wild card weekend was last night.
And we had the Rams beating the hell out of the Vikings 20, 79.
So it turns out the only competitive game was the Sunday night game.
And that was between the commanders and the Buccaneers.
And that game came down to one mistake.
And I feel sorry for Baker Mayfield because he had an epic game except for that one fumble late in the fourth quarter that caused him to win.
Now, I kept saying, everyone that's been listening to me and Topher or just me myself, which it is now, for now,
I kept saying at some point Sam Darnold will be Sam Darnold.
Well, I think what you saw on that game was Sam Darnold being Sam Darnold.
Coming back to reality, Minnesota, they could hide the fact of having that quarterback that inept, in my opinion, for quite a while.
But they cannot hide it against good teams.
And that's why against the elite teams, the Vikings went 0-4 last year or last season or whatever.
I think you call it last season at this point because it was not.
Well, some of it was last year.
So anyhow, for last season, so they went actually more than 0-4.
So let's see.
Let me see if I can find some of their scores here so I can elaborate a little bit better here.
OK, so the Vikings lost to the Lions 31-9.
They lost to the Rams last night 27-9.
They did beat the Packers, but the Packers, I mean, they're OK, but they weren't all that.
They barely beat the Cardinals.
Let's see, some of the teams they beat up on is like the Jaguars and the Titans and the Colts.
But October 24th, the Rams beat them 30-20.
October 20th, the Lions beat them 31-29.
So, I mean, quality opponents, they seem to have a problem winning against.
And so that's going to tell you why Sam Darnold is not the guy.
They need to find a better quarterback.
The defense was good.
I mean, it wasn't good enough, though, but the defense was good for most of the season.
The coaching was really good, but they need that guy.
And they also probably need a little bit more maybe pass rush, maybe secondary help.
And then not to take anything against the Rams, I mean, away from the Rams.
The Rams are a complete looking team now.
They've been building esteem and they've been building up to this point in the year,
and they are peaking at the right time.
So they're going to give anybody a handful, that's for sure.
So it's going to be interesting to see the next playoff games.
So when they meet the Eagles next weekend, they better play their best game.
I'm talking about the Eagles, because the Rams are seemingly getting it all together.
So the Eagles are going to have their hands full, and I wouldn't be surprised if the Rams upset them.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if that happened.
So anyhow, the only thing is it's going to be in Philadelphia,
but I still think the Rams are good enough to beat them, but we will see.
So I'm going to go into, well, first I'm going to go a little bit about the Commander's Buccaneers game.
Mayfield, unfortunately, he had a key error in the otherwise career year,
and he took the Bucs on his back this season and got them a home playoff game.
Commanders are on a roll, but their next opponent are the Lions in Detroit.
It's been a magical season for Washington, but it's probably over come Saturday.
I think that probably that's going to be it for the Commanders,
but you know they should not be ashamed at all if they had a great season and really stepped up their game.
And they look like they seemingly have that young guy that's going to grow with the team, and that would be Jaden Daniels.
He looks great. He does big plays. He can run. He can scramble. He can throw.
So he looks like he's a real deal. So they're going to be there again probably next year.
So I would think that's going to be something to watch, and it should be interesting.
Okay, let's go into a couple of these other games.
The Texans at the Chiefs, 3.30 p.m. Central. It's on ESPN or ABC.
I think the Chiefs are probably going to beat them, but I mean it's going to be a tough game.
The Texans are playing great football right now, and their defense is just crazy.
And to be quite honest, the Kansas City's offensive line has been atrocious this year.
As of late, they've been able to hold it together with the addition of Putnam Joe Tooney.
So we'll see if they can hold them off, and if the Homes can keep getting rid of the ball quickly,
the Chiefs will win. But I think they'll win anyhow.
They always seem to find a way to, despite what some of these morons say, like Rex Ryan.
You know, Rex Ryan said they're a one-and-done team in the playoffs.
Well, that kind of scares me because he would know. He would know because that's all his team's ever done.
So he would know a one-and-done team. So, Rex, you know, you're probably going to eat your big fat words again,
but I can't wait. Just like little Skip Tard Ballas, that little bitch.
Old Skip Tard can't keep his mouth shut about my Homes because he is a jealous little bitch, in my opinion.
So, Skip Tard, I can't wait to kick dirt in your face either, you little fucking little pint-sized little bitch.
So, next one, the Commanders at the Lions, like I said, you know, it's the end of their season.
Rams and Eagles, the Rams could beat the Eagles straight out. It's going to be a hard game, but we'll see.
But the main one, the big one, Ravens at Bills, 530 Central Time on CBS and Paramount.
Boy, that game could go either way. I look forward to be a real ball tugger all the way down to the end.
And I look forward, I mean, I know we've been having nothing but blowouts except one game,
but I think this is one game that will live up to its bill.
This thing right here, I think, will probably be a late in the fourth quarter mistake.
Interception, fumble, botch kick, something. Something will happen, I think,
in the fourth quarter in an otherwise pretty much tight up, even game.
Each quarterback makes plays when they need to. They're dynamic, they're good, they have a great sense of the field.
So, this one right here is, I think, is going to be close.
And the Ravens, they're used to playing in the cold, so the cold up there is not going to bother them.
They're from Baltimore, so I think it's going to be a pretty even kill game.
We'll see. I mean, the pass rush is going to help the Bills a lot, and the Ravens defense is going to hurt them.
So, if I gave anybody a little bit of an edge for a couple of reasons, the Ravens defense is kind of shoddy at times,
and they're playing in Buffalo. So, I would say that Buffalo gets the edge,
but Baltimore is one of those teams that if they get on a roll, watch out,
they will stomp a mud hole in anybody's ass because they're that good.
But, they're not always that good.
Well, we shall see on that, but my pick there is probably the Bills.
I'm going to probably go with the Bills.
And I'm going to give them a slight edge, but other than that, I think the game is pretty even
just because these teams are familiar with each other.
They played each other so much, and they always see each other in the playoffs.
I don't look for any team to just start running away.
But, if I had to bet on a team to be there in the winner's circle afterwards,
I would go ahead and say it's the Bills.
And I'd like to say a little something about Baker Mayfield.
You know, he unfortunately had a key error in an otherwise career year.
He took the bucks on his back this season and got him a home playoff game.
He shouldn't feel too bad about that mistake of the fumble because if it weren't for him,
they wouldn't have even been there, even close to being there,
because there's quite a few times he took that team on his back and he made one mistake.
So, unfortunately, it was in the biggest game at the worst time of this season.
So, I also have something else.
Referee Bill Vinovich supposedly apologized to Josh Allen on an end zone holding call
that cost the Bills a touchdown.
So, welcome, Josh Allen.
You now get cast in the cheater zone.
I think it should be a badge of honor, actually.
The haters are sick of your team killing them, so they have to come up with something,
and it's always like they're cheating bullshit.
Mahomes has been on this list for years now.
I say fuck the flies.
They just buzz around and annoy you.
Real people find constructive things to do with their spare time.
Mediocre people, they do not understand greatness.
So, like always, slow humans that aren't capable of understanding it, they try to destroy it.
And that's what's happening here again, just like it's been happening in Mahomes.
And just like I was talking about, Skip Tarbalus, in my opinion,
has the intellect of a fucking toenail.
And anytime that guy says anything, all I hear is,
huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh.
And that's it.
And Rex Ryan, I hope, like hell, you get that Jets job,
and the Chiefs kick the shit out of you every chance they get.
They're not going to see you in the playoffs because you're not that good,
but every regular season game, I hope we just destroy you.
But the truth is, you don't deserve another head coaching job
because you're not good enough, you big fat piece of shit.
And Terry Bradshaw, shut up.
Just shut up.
You're blithering, fucking loose-lipped, fucking gum-bumped mouth.
You're denture-slip every time you fucking say anything.
Listen, I mean, you know, dementia, probably, in my opinion,
you never did have the most sense in the whole world.
You never were the brightest bulb in the room, you know?
Anyhow, besides all that, you have no idea what you're talking about.
And now that you've really kind of lost your thoughts, in my opinion,
you have to come up with a counter program, just like little Skip Tard.
So, anyhow, I think, you know what, I may have a little bit more.
Let's see here.
Oh yeah, I was going to go into this.
Mike McCarthy could not come to terms with the Dallas Cowboys,
so therefore he is out as the Cowboys' head coach.
That's interesting, because if you really wanted a guy, you would pay for him, right?
So I don't even know why, in my opinion, why they even went to the negotiation board.
Obviously, the Cowboys weren't that thrilled about retaining him,
so why did they even bother?
I mean, is Jerry Jones, I mean, I know he did that thing where he saved like $500,000 by taking Cooper Rush out.
Is this a money thing, too, he's trying to lowball,
even though McCarthy wasn't that good of a head coach, really?
Is he trying to lowball everybody? Is that what it's come to?
I mean, this game that he makes billions of dollars off of,
and he's trying to lowball people like he did Cooper Rush, seemingly,
and also now McCarthy, I'll keep you, but it's got to be for a dirt cheap price.
No wonder that team has been so horrible. No wonder.
I mean, Jerry Jones needs to sell that damn team, or retire and get the hell out of it.
He can still own it, but turn it over to somebody that has some wit, that still has a sound mind,
because he obviously does not. So, interesting.
And that's all I got to say. I mean, I don't know.
Oh no, looks like the show's over, kids.
Mark has explosive diarrhea and can't afford a wireless mic.
Fear not, assholes. They'll be back invading your ear holes soon.
