1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
Recorded live, Frank, is a story for his story.

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,000
River Market area, damp city, Kansas City,

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,000
near the banks of the Crystal River,

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,000
the Missouri River,

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,000
the sports bastards.

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,000
These sports bastards,

7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,000
I have a deaf neighbor,

8
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,000
and he told me he hates this show.

9
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,000
And he can't even hear it.

10
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,000
That'll tell you how good this show is.

11
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,000
This person fucking hates it.

12
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,000
Harambe used to listen to our original show,

13
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,000
two dipships and a cheap radio shack,

14
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,000
cheap radio shack, realistic tape recorder.

15
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,000
Harambe does not listen to our original show,

16
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,000
two dipships and a cheap radio shack,

17
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,000
realistic tape recorder anymore.

18
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,000
You might ask why Harambe never listens to our original show,

19
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,000
two dipships and a cheap radio shack,

20
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,000
realistic tape recorder.

21
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,000
Well, it's because Harambe is deaf.

22
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,000
Senselessly murdered because some idiot

23
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,000
did not walk her child properly while looking on her vote.

24
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Sadly, Harambe does not listen to our original show,

25
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,000
two dipships and a cheap radio shack,

26
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,000
cheap radio shack, realistic tape recorder,

27
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,000
or any other show anymore.

28
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,000
Sorry, Harambe.

29
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,000
And we're off to the races.

30
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,000
Alright, these sports bastards.

31
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,000
Yes.

32
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,000
Yeah, we are back.

33
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,000
Well, should we get right to it

34
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,000
and start with the Chiefs Texans,

35
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,000
the Texans versus the Chiefs, I guess?

36
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Yeah, or as the Texans say,

37
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,000
the referees.

38
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,000
Yes.

39
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Let's go over that a little bit.

40
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,000
Yeah, let's do.

41
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,000
Okay, the Texans had 13 ejections.

42
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,000
They were third in the league, both leagues.

43
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,000
13 ejections due to unnecessary roughness.

44
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,000
Yeah, that's a culture.

45
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,000
Yes, it is.

46
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,000
That's a teen culture.

47
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,000
Yeah, they're third, only two behind the leader.

48
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,000
The Chiefs were way down there at like number 20

49
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,000
with six of them.

50
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,000
Okay, so the Texans,

51
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,000
here's what happened.

52
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,000
The Texans are dirty players,

53
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,000
and they were trying to knock Mahomes out of the game.

54
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Two helmets coming at a guy that's falling on the ground,

55
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,000
trying to spear him from each side,

56
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,000
they're trying to knock him out of the game.

57
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,000
And they were told ahead of time,

58
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,000
I'm certain of this, they were told ahead of time,

59
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,000
hey, they've been known to do this,

60
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,000
like Al Shearer and those guys.

61
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,000
These guys have been known to hit people

62
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,000
and tried to knock them out of the game.

63
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,000
I mean, as Trevor Lawrence.

64
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,000
Pretty easy to see.

65
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,000
So, ever since that Trevor Lawrence situation,

66
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,000
they've been watching him.

67
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,000
And I'm sure the league has told the Texans,

68
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,000
we're watching you because you've got a pattern and a history,

69
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,000
and you're knocking out the big money makers.

70
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,000
Yes, so you pussies down there in fucking Texas,

71
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,000
you guys couldn't be more wrong.

72
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,000
You guys are idiots,

73
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,000
but I don't even think you believe your own drivel.

74
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,000
You're trying to make an excuse for your team

75
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,000
that did not get any better,

76
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,000
although you signed a bunch of people.

77
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,000
There are a bunch of Houston Texan fans that get it.

78
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,000
And then there's the whiny bitchy few

79
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,000
that want to blame anybody except their own team.

80
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,000
Yeah, that's a better way of putting it.

81
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,000
When I say Texan fans,

82
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,000
I'm talking about the few that refuse to admit it.

83
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,000
It's like the fake liberals.

84
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,000
You have the bandwagon fans or the whiny fans

85
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,000
that are only happy when everything's going their way.

86
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,000
Oh, you can see that now.

87
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,000
Now that Trump's in office,

88
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,000
you can see them waving their tiny little fists.

89
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,000
It's like, get out of here, man.

90
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,000
Just go. Just leave us alone.

91
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,000
You know, and I'm not saying I'm for anybody.

92
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,000
What I'm saying is the phony outrage.

93
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,000
Yeah.

94
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,000
Enough.

95
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,000
Here's a little side note.

96
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,000
You remember the show Frasier?

97
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,000
Yes.

98
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:41,000
The reboot of it is two seasons in,

99
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,000
and CBS is announced

100
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,000
that even though they were expected to pick it up for another season,

101
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,000
they've announced, nope, we're not gonna.

102
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,000
We don't want it. It's done.

103
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,000
And it's because Kelsey Grammer is a Trump supporter in Trump 1.

104
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,000
Oh, I didn't know that.

105
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,000
Yeah.

106
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,000
He's actually a fairly well-known to be a Trump supporter.

107
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:06,000
And this is the studio's punishment to take away his TV show.

108
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,000
Well, you see, in my opinion,

109
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,000
the people that did that are phony liberals

110
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:16,000
because if you really believed, if you really believed in personal choice,

111
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,000
if you really believed in acceptance,

112
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,000
if you really believed in freedom for all,

113
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,000
Kelsey Grammer, in that world, Kelsey Grammer can be a Trump supporter,

114
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,000
and you would still love him the same.

115
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,000
Yeah, every time I see someone who claims to be a liberal or a leftist

116
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,000
taking revenge on somebody because they don't like the way they think

117
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,000
or the way they view politics,

118
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,000
yeah, you're fake.

119
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,000
You're fake.

120
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,000
You're a real liberal.

121
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,000
You're a fake liberal.

122
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,000
And you're probably saying you are just to get laid.

123
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,000
Yeah, yeah, that's right.

124
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,000
Some chick with hairy underarms and body odor.

125
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,000
So anyway, there's side note there.

126
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,000
I think we got our point across on the Texas fans.

127
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,000
But definitely that play, the two Texans players were coming in.

128
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,000
You could see them lower their heads and aim for Mahomes head.

129
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:12,000
And I think it's reasonable to believe that the Texans players have been told,

130
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,000
knock out the good players on the other team,

131
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,000
injure them enough to where they can't play.

132
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,000
Because you're not going to win if you don't do that.

133
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,000
And that says a lot about your team if that's how you have to win.

134
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,000
I forgot the name of the guy that did graze Mahomes' helmet.

135
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,000
That will get a penalty every time.

136
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,000
It doesn't matter.

137
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,000
It does not matter.

138
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,000
You'll also get a fine from the league office.

139
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,000
Yeah, and he probably is going to look at a fine too.

140
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,000
Troy Aikman, fucking retire you idiot.

141
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,000
You're a blathering fool.

142
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,000
I don't see anything wrong.

143
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,000
I don't think there's a penalty there.

144
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Nobody asked you, you stupid fuck.

145
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,000
And I think the league is going to get on his ass and say,

146
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,000
you don't have an opinion, you have the league's opinion.

147
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,000
That's what we pay you to give is the league's message.

148
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000
So I think they're going to tell Troy Aikman,

149
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,000
shut up with your own personal opinions.

150
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:03,000
That's what it sounded like to me, a fucking ape.

151
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,000
He probably was nervous as hell and knew he was doing something wrong

152
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,000
and he knew he was going to get called into corporate offices and yelled at

153
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,000
because he aired a personal contrary opinion

154
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,000
that made the NFL officials look like they didn't know what they're doing.

155
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,000
Yes.

156
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,000
NFL doesn't like that.

157
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,000
No, they don't.

158
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,000
And even though he works for the network, he still works for the NFL too.

159
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,000
You can look at him and tell he's a little, I don't know, something.

160
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,000
Touched, they used to call it or something like that.

161
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,000
Yeah, I think his impulse control is a little off

162
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,000
because most people would realize, yeah, I'm on the company time here.

163
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,000
I better not say anything against.

164
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,000
All this is personal opinion.

165
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,000
Absolutely.

166
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,000
Yeah.

167
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,000
And everything allegedly and all that good shit to cover our ass, okay?

168
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:54,000
So he looks to me like three seconds away from fucking starting a fight.

169
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,000
They ripped the Texans off.

170
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,000
Come on, man.

171
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,000
Yeah, you can see his Texas loyalty shining through.

172
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,000
Oh, yeah, you can.

173
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,000
I saw the most hilarious video this morning on Facebook.

174
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:11,000
It was a woman who was saying, the Texans fans are right.

175
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:16,000
The referees did win the game for the Chiefs and I have the video proof.

176
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:21,000
And then she started showing the video and she would photoshop in an NFL referee.

177
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,000
I sent that to you.

178
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,000
Yeah, okay, you sent it to us.

179
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,000
So the referee in there yanking the guy's helmet off and making him throw it.

180
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,000
The referee jumping in there and blocking that kick.

181
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,000
She was illustrating through the absurd because it's so funny.

182
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,000
She goes, how can this be a perfect pass?

183
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:42,000
And it shows the referee guiding the ball to Travis Kelsey.

184
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,000
It was such a beautiful way to deflate all the idiots.

185
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,000
He was like, oh, let's focus on only the things that make our argument

186
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,000
and ignore everything else.

187
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,000
Yes.

188
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,000
So look, Texas, you guys are going to get this next year too unless you clean up your act.

189
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:01,000
The fact is you spent a lot of cap money getting people that were supposed to take you over the top and it didn't.

190
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Actually, C.J. Stroud came back down to earth.

191
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,000
There's a year of tape on him and they figured him out.

192
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,000
Yeah, he needs to change for next year.

193
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,000
Yes, he does.

194
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:16,000
The reason Mahomes didn't have to is because he is not the regular quarterback.

195
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:21,000
He can adapt during the course of a game and he has like nine different things he can switch up and do.

196
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,000
Stroud still is at the point, I think, where he needs the game plan.

197
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,000
He needs the game plan, yes.

198
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,000
Mahomes can read the defenses so well.

199
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,000
He changes stuff on the spot.

200
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,000
C.J. Stroud really didn't do that.

201
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,000
No.

202
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,000
Not that I could tell.

203
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,000
He wasn't telling people, hey, look at the formation and pointing around.

204
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,000
You see Mahomes doing that all the time.

205
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,000
He'll stand up and he'll look.

206
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,000
He'll do a signal like they're going to do a blitz.

207
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:54,000
And then he's signaling to the rest of the players there on the field because he has the helmet that has communication.

208
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,000
But he already identified it because he studies the game enough.

209
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:06,000
And whenever they do a blitz or a trick play, something going on that they're trying to do, he alerts the players to move around.

210
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:17,000
You know, I'm thinking about this as you're speaking, and I remember in the Texans, they would have the center pointing and turning around and telling the quarterback, you know, pointing.

211
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,000
That's exactly what I'm talking about.

212
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,000
Here's the mic linebacker.

213
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,000
There's the strong safety.

214
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,000
Mahomes does that himself.

215
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,000
The center doesn't have to.

216
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,000
The center doesn't have to.

217
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:29,000
That tells me that the center was reading the defenses, not C.J. Stroud.

218
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,000
Yeah.

219
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,000
That's a difference in ability.

220
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:37,000
I hope C.J. Stroud gets that ability because he'll be so much more fun to watch.

221
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,000
I'm not so high on him now.

222
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,000
No, no.

223
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,000
Jaden Daniels is a new sexy guy in town now.

224
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,000
Everyone's all over him.

225
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,000
He's looking pretty good.

226
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,000
He is looking.

227
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,000
He's looking better than C.J. Stroud did last year by far.

228
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,000
Yeah.

229
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,000
And the reason is, is he is a five-star player.

230
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:57,000
Every aspect of the game, he's got five stars.

231
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,000
Yeah.

232
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,000
I mean, no matter what he does.

233
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,000
Excuse me.

234
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,000
This guy is going to be interesting to see him develop.

235
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,000
Yeah.

236
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:09,000
And I give him a decent shot because of this right here, of going to the Super Bowl.

237
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,000
He has the imp factor.

238
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,000
Yeah, he does.

239
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,000
You create your own luck.

240
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,000
I've always said this.

241
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,000
And I believe this firmly.

242
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,000
You put yourself in a position to have a little luck and it will happen.

243
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,000
Yeah.

244
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,000
That's happened to Mahomes his whole career.

245
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:26,000
You don't just get lucky by walking out on the street and looking down at the road and looking at a rock.

246
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,000
Yeah.

247
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,000
You get lucky by forming that.

248
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,000
You put yourself in a position of success and it will happen.

249
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,000
Yeah.

250
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,000
And that's what Mahomes does, the right mindset.

251
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,000
And that's where someone like Andy Reid comes along.

252
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,000
Oh, yeah.

253
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,000
Andy Reid says, you don't accept anything except the best.

254
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,000
Yeah.

255
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,000
And that's what you give 100% on the field.

256
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:51,000
Brady used the term cardiac commanders, which is an odd expression.

257
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,000
That's a good...

258
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,000
Because that one came out in the 80s, didn't it?

259
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,000
It did, but he brought it back.

260
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,000
I thought that was kind of cool.

261
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,000
Yeah.

262
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:09,000
I think that could apply to any of the new style of quarterbacks that you can just never count out, no matter what.

263
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Yeah.

264
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:16,000
Mahomes is one, Josh Allen is one, Jaden Daniels is looking like one.

265
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,000
Yeah.

266
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,000
I thought Justin Herbert was going to be that guy, but he kind of isn't.

267
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:28,000
The more I see him, the more he's looking like Philip Rivers of the same team, a guy that can put up stats.

268
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,000
Well, he's not even Philip Rivers.

269
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,000
He doesn't even put out the stats now.

270
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,000
No, Philip Rivers was tough.

271
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,000
Yeah.

272
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,000
Justin Herbert, I think he's decently tough, but Philip Rivers was way tough.

273
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,000
Yeah.

274
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,000
Justin Herbert looks to me like a guy that has the tools, but doesn't have the drive.

275
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,000
That's a good way to put it, yeah.

276
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,000
I don't think he quite believes in himself or the system or something.

277
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,000
No, something's going on there.

278
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,000
Yeah.

279
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,000
There's a disconnect, and Jim Harbaugh's not figuring it out as of right now.

280
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,000
Yeah.

281
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,000
Don't get me wrong.

282
00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:01,000
First year, he took them to the playoffs when they're abysmal last year, which was good,

283
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:06,000
but the performance in the playoffs showed that they should not have even been there.

284
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,000
Yeah, yeah.

285
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:18,000
And this is a team we just took apart systematically with eight sacks, a blocked field goal, a missed point after because of the penetration.

286
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,000
Yeah.

287
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,000
The guy was nervous.

288
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,000
That's why he missed it.

289
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:29,000
So there's all these things that happen because we're playing at a high level and 100%.

290
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,000
Yeah.

291
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:36,000
So the Texans dismantled the Chargers, and we dismantled the Texans.

292
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,000
Yeah.

293
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,000
So that tells you right there.

294
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,000
Yeah, the Chargers.

295
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:44,000
Let's see, who would have been in if the Chargers hadn't made it in?

296
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,000
Would it have been maybe Miami?

297
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,000
I think Miami would have put a better fight of whoever because the Chiefs weren't in it.

298
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,000
The Chiefs would have dismantled them because they have their number.

299
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,000
Yeah.

300
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,000
They blow up Tyreek Hill at the line, and it's done.

301
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,000
Pretty much.

302
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:03,000
Another key thing is Jalen Watson is back.

303
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,000
Yes.

304
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:10,000
That guy is such a deep ball expert, if you will.

305
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,000
Yeah.

306
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,000
He seems to show up right when you need him.

307
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:20,000
I remember his name getting called a lot before he got injured in week seven.

308
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,000
Yeah.

309
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,000
I was really high on him.

310
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:26,000
He is a guy that works so well with Spagnolo because he has many faces.

311
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:31,000
You can put him on so many different looks of the defense and so many different reads.

312
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,000
That's what kind of player he is.

313
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:39,000
He was slowly developing and quietly developing into a premier shutdown guy.

314
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,000
Yeah.

315
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:46,000
I'm wondering, are they grooming him to be like the guy who covers the slot receiver?

316
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,000
That's what I'm thinking.

317
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,000
Or the nickel corner?

318
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,000
Yes, the nickel in the slot.

319
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:53,000
That's what it looked like to me, and he's sure done a good job because he pretty much took it away.

320
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:58,000
This is his first game back after having a broken ankle.

321
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,000
Yeah.

322
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,000
He was out about 10 weeks.

323
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,000
Yeah, 10 weeks.

324
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,000
I couldn't believe we got him back.

325
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,000
I was like, wow, this is perfect timing.

326
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,000
It is.

327
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:10,000
The only person left on injured reserve is Rashi Rice.

328
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,000
He's not coming back.

329
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,000
No, no.

330
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,000
No.

331
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:18,000
Boy, we've all done a really good job of forgetting about his legal troubles, haven't we?

332
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,000
Yeah, we did.

333
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,000
That's going to come up still.

334
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,000
We'll deal with that in the offseason.

335
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,000
I just remembered another bullet point.

336
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,000
I forgot to bring my bullet points over.

337
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,000
Do you want to get into them here now, some bullet points?

338
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,000
Yeah, we can cover the other three games in a bit.

339
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,000
Okay, I just remembered one.

340
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:43,000
Okay, number one, will Aaron Rodgers go to a subpar team, a losing team, just to stay

341
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,000
playing?

342
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,000
Wow.

343
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,000
You know, I don't really think he will.

344
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,000
No, his ego will not let him, I'm pretty sure.

345
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:56,000
You know, that would help to rehabilitate his image, but I don't think he really cares

346
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,000
that much about that.

347
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,000
He doesn't have that much time either.

348
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,000
True.

349
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,000
You know, if he's going to coach up a team and develop with them for three years, he's

350
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,000
not the type of guy that can do like Tom Brady and play until he's 45.

351
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:15,000
Yeah, and there's a whole category of injuries that would end his career, whereas a younger

352
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,000
quarterback would just, you know, come back next year.

353
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,000
Yeah, yeah, so.

354
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,000
Yeah, he's one strained or torn ligament away from retiring.

355
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,000
Okay, yeah, I agree.

356
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,000
I don't think he will either.

357
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,000
What if the Raiders came at him and Tom Brady behind it?

358
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,000
Wow, wouldn't that be ironic for Devontae Adams?

359
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:40,000
Because that's the team he left to go reunite with Aaron Rodgers.

360
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,000
But even Devontae saying, you know, Aaron Rodgers really isn't all that.

361
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,000
It's not that big a deal.

362
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,000
No, no, no, no, no, I know.

363
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:51,000
And for somebody that's supposed to be such buddies with him, he sure turned on him quick.

364
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,000
Yeah, yeah.

365
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,000
So I imagine Devontae stays where he is.

366
00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:01,000
I can see Aaron Rodgers going to the Raiders, especially if they give him a promise of being

367
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,000
able to move into management.

368
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:07,000
Yeah, and also I think Tom Brady would be like, okay, we're going to go after this guy,

369
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,000
this guy, and this guy.

370
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,000
What do you think of that?

371
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,000
Yeah, yeah, they could use him.

372
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:16,000
As long as he's not on another team, they could use him as an advisor on personnel matters.

373
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,000
Well, he'd have to be very quiet about it, number one, because he's a commentator.

374
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:26,000
Tom Brady is the guy that basically built that team in Tampa, and he had a lot to say so with the Patriots.

375
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,000
Yeah.

376
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,000
You know, he went to Tampa and said, yeah, I'll come there, but I want this guy, this guy,

377
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,000
and this guy.

378
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,000
Gronk was one of them, and who was another one?

379
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,000
It was a receiver, I think.

380
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,000
Yeah, a couple of, there was a receiver and then somebody else.

381
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:42,000
He said, I want these three guys, and if you get these three guys, I'm in.

382
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,000
So they got those three guys, and he came in, and they won a Super Bowl.

383
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,000
Yeah, they did.

384
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:51,000
So I misunderstood, because I thought you were saying Aaron Rodgers would advise them on who to get.

385
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,000
Oh, no, no, no, no.

386
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,000
You were saying Tom Brady.

387
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,000
Tom Brady, I'm sorry.

388
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,000
Yeah, I misunderstood it, so.

389
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,000
Okay.

390
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,000
Okay, so let's say.

391
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,000
I think the bomb under our table is about to go off.

392
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,000
It is.

393
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:08,000
If I could shut that thing, if I could figure out how to undo that damn thing, I would.

394
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,000
Oh, yeah.

395
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:16,000
Okay, so let's look at some possible landing spots that would be good for, let's say Aaron Rodgers wants to go on with his career.

396
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,000
Okay.

397
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,000
One that I thought of was the Cleveland Browns.

398
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,000
Yeah.

399
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,000
If they have a cap room.

400
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,000
They've got a decent enough team around him.

401
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,000
I don't know about the Panthers so much.

402
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,000
I think they need some other help.

403
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:42,000
Watson is out for a considerable amount of time next year, too, because he reentered his MCL, I think it was, right after he had it fixed.

404
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,000
Yeah.

405
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,000
But he had to have another surgery on it.

406
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:52,000
The Cleveland Browns can't have him on the roster and win, and they can't afford to get rid of him.

407
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,000
What are they going to do?

408
00:17:54,000 --> 00:18:04,000
You'll have to draft somebody is the only thing you can do because I don't think they have the space for Aaron Rodgers, but if they did, it'd be a perfect landing spot.

409
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:09,000
Another one would be he could follow Brett Favre's footsteps and go to Minnesota.

410
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,000
Yeah.

411
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:14,000
You have receivers, you have Justin Jefferson, you have a really good defense.

412
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:18,000
And that would be the exact trajectory that Brett Favre took.

413
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,000
Green Bay to New York Jets to Minnesota.

414
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,000
Yeah.

415
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:23,000
I could see him doing that.

416
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,000
I could, too.

417
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:28,000
I mean, I think that would make the optimal amount of sense for him.

418
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:36,000
I could see Minnesota have an interest in him after the Sam Darnold wild card player.

419
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,000
Yeah.

420
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,000
Sam Darnold.

421
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,000
Maybe Atlanta, maybe New Orleans.

422
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,000
Yeah.

423
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,000
But Atlanta is a more complete team than New Orleans is, I think, right now.

424
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,000
Yeah, absolutely.

425
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:54,000
And as far as Deshaun Watson goes, I thought of a way that the Cleveland Browns can get out from under him.

426
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,000
Trade him to the Raiders.

427
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,000
They don't even have to get that complex.

428
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:07,000
They can set him up to take a fall for some sort of morals clause in his contract.

429
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,000
Yeah.

430
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:14,000
And that way they could dump him and write off the cap penalties and all that.

431
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:21,000
So if the Cleveland Browns are desperate enough, they'll set him up to get busted again for something that they can say,

432
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,000
look, what a horrible person he is.

433
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,000
We can't hit him on our team.

434
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,000
Yeah, you're out of here.

435
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,000
Yeah.

436
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,000
That could happen.

437
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:37,000
If they're desperate enough and if they need that money enough, they could run him out of the league on a trumped up morals issue.

438
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,000
Yeah.

439
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,000
Yeah.

440
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,000
Okay.

441
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:47,000
So I think Minnesota would be the best spot for him and I think they do have some cap room.

442
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:53,000
Well, I think that if Aaron Rodgers wants to play for a good team, he's going to have to accept the cap as what it is.

443
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,000
True.

444
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,000
He's not going to get an extraordinary amount of money on any team that's ready.

445
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,000
Yeah, he got that with the Jets.

446
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,000
He needs to be happy with that and go signs or whatever.

447
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,000
Yeah.

448
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:04,000
Yes.

449
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:09,000
So if Minnesota is interested in him, I think that would be the most logical landing spot for him.

450
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:10,000
Okay.

451
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaking of Sam Darnold.

452
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,000
Okay.

453
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,000
Jared Goff.

454
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:22,000
Jared Goff became Jared Goff again and he was one of the guys that I said Jared Goff will be Jared Goff eventually.

455
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,000
Yeah, that was a really bad loss for the Lions.

456
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,000
Yeah.

457
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,000
It was worse than the score indicated.

458
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,000
They were the best team ever.

459
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,000
Ask any talking head.

460
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:38,000
You know, from Skip Tard to, I don't know, Calhurd wasn't quite so high on him.

461
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,000
No, but just about everybody else was.

462
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:41,000
Yeah, everybody else was.

463
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,000
Everyone was like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

464
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,000
If the Chiefs come here, that's it.

465
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,000
They're done.

466
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,000
They're done.

467
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,000
Yeah.

468
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,000
And, yeah, the story of them.

469
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:48,000
Bill Cowher was up their ass.

470
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,000
Oh my God.

471
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,000
He was so far up their ass you could only see his shoelaces.

472
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,000
Yeah.

473
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:57,000
You know why Cowher's not coaching anymore.

474
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,000
Yeah.

475
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:03,000
He makes bad judgments, obviously.

476
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:09,000
You know, Jared Goff, he's the type of guy that if you come at him hard and heavy and

477
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:13,000
you have a good pass rushing, you're going to get to him.

478
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,000
He will make mistakes.

479
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,000
He's not that disciplined when it counts.

480
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,000
So during the season, you're playing all these teams and they don't have that much.

481
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,000
They have a lot into it, but not like the playoffs.

482
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:26,000
Yeah.

483
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:30,000
The playoffs, you have the people that fucking, they fought, scratched, and clogged their

484
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:34,000
way to the top, and they're not giving up.

485
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:39,000
They're generally smarter players, more prepared players, more prepared staffs.

486
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:40,000
Uh-huh.

487
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,000
Yeah.

488
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:46,000
It just, that kind of answers the questions about why did the Lions have some success

489
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:50,000
during the season if the Rams just told everybody, this is how you defeat them.

490
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,000
They have no answer for this.

491
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,000
I've got one for you.

492
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,000
Maurice Schottenheimer with the Chiefs.

493
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,000
You have everything but the quarterback.

494
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,000
Yeah, that's true.

495
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:05,000
Everything but the quarterback is a flawed philosophy.

496
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,000
You have to have the quarterback.

497
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:13,000
Josh Allen in Detroit, they'd have a title.

498
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,000
Oh gosh, yeah.

499
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,000
Oh, three or four maybe.

500
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,000
Yeah.

501
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,000
Yeah.

502
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,000
Well, they haven't come to fruition that long.

503
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,000
They have two.

504
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,000
Yeah, they have two.

505
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,000
Yeah.

506
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,000
Well, I don't know.

507
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:28,000
They've been facing the Chiefs, and we'll get it out here in a little bit.

508
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:29,000
Yeah.

509
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:33,000
The Chiefs have something that nobody can figure out really.

510
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:37,000
Yeah, that's, the defense is just amazing in that Texans game.

511
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:38,000
Yeah.

512
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:45,000
And I will be very sad if Spags goes, becomes a head coach somewhere else, but he's supposedly

513
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:50,000
interviewing a little bit, but I would not be surprised if the Chiefs win the Super Bowl

514
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:55,000
with a three-peat, Kelsey retires, Andy retires, Spags gets elevated to head coach.

515
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,000
I don't think Andy's going to retire.

516
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,000
He just signed a huge deal.

517
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,000
Yeah, but that would kind of work out well to keep Spags here.

518
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,000
I think that's the only way you can do it though is if Andy retires.

519
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:11,000
I think what they might do here to keep him is say, as soon as Andy retires, it's yours.

520
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,000
Yeah, that would be a violation of the Rooney rule, but nobody cares about that apparently.

521
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,000
No, no, no, no, no, they do that shit all the time.

522
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,000
You just don't announce it.

523
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:22,000
Yeah, I mean the Lions just hired a head coach, a white guy.

524
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,000
Did they interview any people of color?

525
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,000
No.

526
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,000
No, they didn't.

527
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,000
The Rooney rule says they have to.

528
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,000
That's no biggie.

529
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:30,000
Okay, thanks.

530
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,000
No, I know.

531
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:35,000
But apparently the Rooney rule either doesn't apply anymore or is just being ignored because...

532
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,000
It's not sexy anymore, I guess.

533
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,000
It's sexy for a while for people to scream.

534
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:49,000
They need to hire somebody, they need to at least interview a black person.

535
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,000
Or a Hispanic or Asian or...

536
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,000
Or a Hispanic or some sort of minority, which did not happen.

537
00:23:53,000 --> 00:24:00,000
Yeah, because I remember Tom Flores for a while was the guy that everybody interviewed because he was Hispanic and then they go hire the guy they wanted.

538
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:08,000
But it just shows that all along the NFL never took it seriously and was just doing it to appease the people who were complaining.

539
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,000
I respect this better.

540
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,000
They're just like, oh, okay, we're just not doing that.

541
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,000
They're not trying to act like they're doing it, they're just not doing it.

542
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:24,000
And it may be that the NFL has demonstrated, you know, we don't care if a guy has got a different ethnicity, we're going to hire the best.

543
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,000
And right now this guy is the best and he just happens to be white.

544
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,000
Yeah.

545
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:36,000
I think that's kind of what they're doing is the NFL has shown that they are willing to hire people of color for important positions.

546
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,000
So I think they relaxed the Rooney rule.

547
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:42,000
And they will continue and there'll be a part of, I'll put it like as in the quarterback.

548
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,000
You didn't see any black quarterbacks for what?

549
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,000
I don't know, for quite a while, but about 15 years ago that started to change.

550
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:51,000
And now I would say at least half of them.

551
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,000
Yeah.

552
00:24:52,000 --> 00:25:02,000
So I think the same thing is going to happen with the big coaching positions is people are going to figure out, you know what, this guy, this is a guy we can hire and he's going to do really good for us.

553
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:06,000
You know, no skin color involved, just this guy's the best one for it.

554
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:12,000
And it's going to keep happening because, you know, I mean, there's a lot of very well qualified.

555
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,000
You know, I was just thinking about something.

556
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:25,000
The Cleveland Browns, I think started faltering when their general manager Ozzie Newsome left.

557
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,000
Yeah. Yeah.

558
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:34,000
And he was a former player and he's black and he did an excellent job.

559
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,000
He really did.

560
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,000
And when he left, the team faltered.

561
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,000
And what else do you need to see?

562
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:46,000
You know, do you really need the all white club to lead your team?

563
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:53,000
I mean, how much more evidence do you need to see that it doesn't matter how much pigmentation their skin has?

564
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:59,000
Well, the problem is, is everybody's seeing it taking everything in skin color and not as the person themselves.

565
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:05,000
Yeah, it's funny that diversity tends to be only what sighted people.

566
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:06,000
Exactly.

567
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,000
You get blind people in there and they can't tell your team's diverse.

568
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:14,000
They can't tell by, you know, because they can't see the skin color.

569
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,000
That seems to be what we're stuck on as far as diversity.

570
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,000
Oh, look at the skin color and then make it diverse.

571
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,000
A really good businessman. They don't care.

572
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,000
Yeah. Yeah.

573
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,000
Best guy. Who's going to make you more money? This guy?

574
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,000
Oh, he's black. OK, so all right. Go get him.

575
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:36,000
Yeah. But it's funny. Diversity is just diversity for sighted people.

576
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,000
Yeah. We don't take into account blind people.

577
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,000
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. But I mean, you got to start somewhere.

578
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,000
I get that. I get that.

579
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:49,000
But the thing is, is really is, is this I think it's actually washing itself out now.

580
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:54,000
There are a few black head coaches and there'll be a lot more coming to sight quarterbacks.

581
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:58,000
We'll have to wait and see if it goes the way of gun control laws,

582
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:06,000
because for decades, gun control laws have been useless, pointless, ineffective.

583
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:11,000
But it's something that is talked about and passed to make everybody feel good

584
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,000
and feel like they've done something. Oh, well, it's a start. No, that's true.

585
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:19,000
It's a distraction and it's them jangling shiny keys in front of your face.

586
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:23,000
It's not a start. It's true. It's making you shut up for a while.

587
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:28,000
Yeah, that's true. It's appeasing. Yeah. Oh, see, see, we did it.

588
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:34,000
I'm pretty sure that every company who's doing the diversity and equity and inclusion stuff

589
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:38,000
is doing it because there's something in it for them and they're going to drop it

590
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:42,000
the moment there's nothing in it. Exactly. Yeah.

591
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,000
Bottom line, business is business. Yeah.

592
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,000
OK. Speaking of Spagnolo, that's where this all started.

593
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,000
Yeah. But we do what we do here. Yeah.

594
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:55,000
OK. Well, if he does be a head coach, will he be successful?

595
00:27:55,000 --> 00:28:00,000
With the right offensive coordinator? Yeah, because just a purely defensive head coach.

596
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,000
That doesn't really work. I agree.

597
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:07,000
Because the league is biased towards offense and scoring points and the G-Wiz plays

598
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,000
and the excitement. Yeah.

599
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:14,000
So if you go in with an offensive, defensive mindset, you're already at a disadvantage.

600
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,000
Yeah, I agree.

601
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:20,000
He would need a very strong offensive coordinator and let him run the show.

602
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:24,000
Yeah. Yeah. OK. Spags plays for the Chiefs, right?

603
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:28,000
Or is coach for the Chiefs? OK.

604
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,000
The big game coming up, again, the usual suspects. Yeah.

605
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:36,000
And the Bills are going to be at the Chiefs this time for a championship game.

606
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:44,000
If Josh Allen loses this, will he be viewed as a Philip Rivers type of guy,

607
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:49,000
a guy that can get you to the playoffs but not get you over the hump?

608
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:56,000
I think so. And unfortunately, Buffalo has another example they can easily compare it to,

609
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,000
is the four teams that made the Super Bowl and lost every one of them.

610
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:03,000
Yeah. I was going to say him. What the hell is his name? Jim Kelly.

611
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:07,000
Jim Kelly. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

612
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:12,000
Yeah. Jim Kelly is actually a better example, a guy that can get you all these stats.

613
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:17,000
Or will he be known as Patrick Mahomes era?

614
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,000
Should have had a couple of rings, but he couldn't.

615
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:26,000
You know, I think they will take that into account when considering people for honors,

616
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,000
such as the Hall of Fame, et cetera, was the Mahomes era.

617
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:34,000
Because that is such a huge obstacle for a lot of these players to overcome.

618
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:39,000
And just making the playoffs and winning one in the Mahomes era is pretty damn good.

619
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,000
Yeah. I agree. Yeah. I agree.

620
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:46,000
I think making the playoffs out of the AFC West during the Mahomes era is an accomplishment.

621
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:50,000
I agree. Because the Chiefs have won seven in a row.

622
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:57,000
Yeah. I agree. Or no. More than that. It's seven AFC championships in a row?

623
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:01,000
Yeah. And like nine or ten West championships.

624
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:06,000
Yeah. The last team to win it before the Chiefs was Denver.

625
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:11,000
So think back how long it's been since Denver had a team that could win the division.

626
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,000
Oh, shit. That's how long it's been since the Chiefs have done it.

627
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,000
I think we're going on ten years now. I think so.

628
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,000
Ten seasons. Pretty close to it. Yeah. Yep.

629
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:29,000
Wow. Okay. If the Chiefs win against the Bills, will they finally get credit where it's deserved?

630
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,000
That will be a three-peat never done before.

631
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:41,000
Yeah. I think they will. I think that will kind of put them up there with the all-time dynasties and greatest teams of all time.

632
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,000
I think so, too.

633
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:48,000
I mean, look at the 85 Bears. That was a one-year wonder with that team.

634
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:53,000
But they're forever known as one of the greatest teams ever, even though that's not even close to being true.

635
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:58,000
Yeah. I mean, they really didn't. They had a dominating defense, but they didn't really blow anyone away.

636
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,000
They had to fight and scratch for every one of those games they won.

637
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:08,000
Jim McMahon was like a Trent Dilfer. Just kind of like a low-key guy. Didn't make a lot of mistakes, but didn't make a lot of plays.

638
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:14,000
Just kind of like heavy running game. Take time off the clock and let your defense do the rest.

639
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:15,000
Pretty much, yeah.

640
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:22,000
Yeah. So, I mean, Mike Dick knew exactly how to play that and win, and he did.

641
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:28,000
So, yeah, I think the Chiefs could easily surpass the Bears as far as greatest team of all time.

642
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:29,000
Yeah.

643
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:38,000
I think this year's team, with all the injuries and having to sub players, it's definitely in strong conversation for one of the best teams of all time.

644
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:42,000
Yes. And there's going to be a bunch of little side notes, too.

645
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:51,000
So, if they make it to the Super Bowl and they get 10 points behind, this is going to be the first time the other team freaks out.

646
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:55,000
Yeah. Oh, God, we're ahead. That's bad for us.

647
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:59,000
We're ahead by 10 points. Guys.

648
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:00,000
That's hilarious.

649
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:05,000
People may not say they believe in that, but you tell me it wouldn't enter their head.

650
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,000
Yeah. Oh, and do a group pose.

651
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:09,000
Oh, yeah.

652
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,000
Do that. Wait a minute.

653
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:18,000
Yeah. Sports players are generally superstitious, so I think they would definitely think about that.

654
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:24,000
Yeah. So, I think that they will get legitimacy with the people that are honest.

655
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:28,000
Yeah. The people that are not honest? No. They'll never get legitimacy.

656
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:33,000
And that's just all there is to it.

657
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:40,000
Marty Schoenheimer is one that said it really good. He said, if you blame the refs for losing a game, then you're not good.

658
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:46,000
You're not good enough. He always said, don't blame the refs.

659
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:47,000
And I agree with that.

660
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:51,000
Yeah, that does seem like the easy excuse.

661
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:52,000
It is.

662
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,000
Oh, they're all against us.

663
00:32:54,000 --> 00:33:04,000
You know, the thing, I think, to calmly and rationally remember is, if the referees really are influencing the games

664
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:10,000
and making these decisions and calls to make sure one team wins over another,

665
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:14,000
then the league and their gambling partners are okay with it.

666
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,000
Yes.

667
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,000
Because otherwise, they would do something about it.

668
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:24,000
The bookies are not going to lose a bunch of bets because an NFL official stepped in and made the wrong call.

669
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,000
They're not going to put up with that.

670
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:30,000
I've got a great example for you, too. And here's why people are naturally leery.

671
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:36,000
And all I got to say is, would Vegas do something underhanded, Christopher?

672
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:40,000
Oh, let's see. Vegas? Yeah, I think so. They might.

673
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:51,000
Yeah, yeah. So, okay. So the game against the Texans, we were up by, let's see, the two points.

674
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:55,000
So we're up by, let's see, it was 25 to 12. Was that it?

675
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:56,000
Yeah.

676
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,000
And then 25 to 14.

677
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:04,000
Yeah, because the Chiefs ran out of the back of the end zone to run some time off the clock and gave up the safety.

678
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,000
And that enabled them to do a free kick instead of a punt.

679
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,000
Yes.

680
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,000
That actually helped them win the game.

681
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,000
Yeah, it did. Well, a lot of people say that's because of Vegas and the spread.

682
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:15,000
Yeah, that too.

683
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:20,000
Because a lot of people, the bet, I guess, lost a lot of money when they did that.

684
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,000
But then again, it was a smart thing to do, too.

685
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:31,000
It was. But I have seen a number of games where it's just like guaranteed certainty that this one team is going to win.

686
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:42,000
But then right towards the end, the breaks and the calls go the way of the other team and they can go down and get a score and put it to within a one score game.

687
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:46,000
And then all of a sudden it goes back the other way and the other teams, you know, is dominant again.

688
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:52,000
But I can see them doing that to shave points off the spread.

689
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,000
So the bookies are happier with how the game ends.

690
00:34:55,000 --> 00:35:00,000
But Andy Reid's explanation was brilliant. And it's legit.

691
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:06,000
He said to avoid a bad snap or something and the possibility of them getting back in the game.

692
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:10,000
Yeah. That's how you do it. And he's right.

693
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:15,000
And there was a movie in the 80s with Tom Cruise and Craig T. Nelson called All the Right Moves.

694
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:16,000
Yeah.

695
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:22,000
It's about a high school football team that was perennial losers, always losing to the rich schools.

696
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:30,000
And there was a point in one game where the team was actually going to win.

697
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:39,000
All they had to do was punt the ball and run the clock out or run the ball out of them, you know, because they were like on their own one yard line.

698
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:40,000
Yeah.

699
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:47,000
And the smart play would have been to hike the ball to the quarterback and have them run out of the back of the end zone, give up the safety and punt the ball.

700
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,000
Time would run out and they'd win.

701
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,000
Instead, the quarterback tried to run out of the end zone, fumbled.

702
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:56,000
The other team pounced on the ball and got a touchdown and won.

703
00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:03,000
And it was like three hours later, the coach was lying in bed thinking, oh, my God, I should have taken the safety.

704
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,000
But see, Andy thought of it first. Andy thought of it right away.

705
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:11,000
It's like, take the safety. That way they can't get a cheap, easy touchdown off us.

706
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:15,000
Yeah. It was there in that movie in 1985. It just happened right like that.

707
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,000
The Super Bowl two years ago.

708
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,000
Yeah. They were instructed.

709
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,000
Who was it was wide open.

710
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,000
It was a running back of ours.

711
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,000
Williams, maybe.

712
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,000
Yeah. OK.

713
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:38,000
Wide open. Lays down to not to not get the touchdown.

714
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:43,000
Oh, that was number one.

715
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,000
Now it's worthy is number one.

716
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,000
Yeah. But it was like.

717
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,000
Yeah. Number one, McKinnon.

718
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,000
Yeah. Jared McKinnon. Yeah.

719
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,000
Jared McKinnon. Yeah. The running back. Jared McKinnon. It wasn't Williams.

720
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:59,000
Williams was the Super Bowl a couple before that. OK.

721
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:03,000
When we had to let Kareem Hunt go. Yeah. Yeah. OK.

722
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:09,000
Jared McKinnon had a clear path to the end zone, but he was instructed.

723
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,000
You're probably going to have a clear path. You lay down.

724
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,000
He laid down at the one yard line.

725
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:18,000
And the reason is because they knew at that point you kick a field goal

726
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,000
and you can run the clock out. Yeah.

727
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:24,000
If you do that, you have to get a two point conversion

728
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,000
because to guard against them getting one and winning the game

729
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,000
and leaving too much time on the clock for them.

730
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,000
Yeah. It's more a certain point.

731
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,000
It's more important to run the clock out than it is to score any more points.

732
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,000
Yeah. So Andy Reid has a history of doing stuff like that.

733
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:41,000
And I think that a lot of this stuff and this conspiracy stuff is bullshit

734
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,000
because at first I fell for it and I go, oh, that makes sense.

735
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,000
Then I got to think about it. I'm like, no, that's wrong.

736
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,000
Andy Reid has a mind like that.

737
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:54,000
And he wants to make sure if he's got a win in his pocket, he's keeping that win in his pocket.

738
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:59,000
And ironically, when he was in Philly in the first few years here in KC,

739
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,000
he was being criticized for poor clock management. I know.

740
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,000
But he has fixed that, hasn't he? Yes, he has.

741
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,000
He's a lot better at that.

742
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,000
You know how you fix that by having a quarterback like Mahomes.

743
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:13,000
You know, when you have an Alex Smith, you need all your timeouts.

744
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:19,000
And yeah, think of the teams that were never in a position to where critical clock management was an issue.

745
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,000
You never get the practice. Yeah. Yeah.

746
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:29,000
So anyhow, yeah. So let's see. I even forgot what we started in on, but OK.

747
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:35,000
Will Tom Brady make the Raiders legitimate?

748
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,000
I think so. I do too.

749
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:46,000
I just get this feeling that the Raiders owner, Mark Davis, is going to listen to Tom Brady and try it his way.

750
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,000
And when the success starts coming, he's going to say, all right, we'll do it your way.

751
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:56,000
I think that was the whole thought process of hiring Tom Brady or letting Tom Brady buy part of his minority ownership.

752
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,000
Yeah. Is we want his input.

753
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:03,000
And he's not an employee of Mark Davis. No, he's a co-owner.

754
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:08,000
Yeah. So that gives him a lot more gravitas. Yeah. Yep.

755
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,000
Yeah. So Mark Davis is smart enough to.

756
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,000
OK, Tom, what do you think we should do?

757
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:17,000
That way Davis gets to spend more time with his 18 year old wife.

758
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,000
Yeah, yes. Yes.

759
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:25,000
Him and Bill Belichick can have a double date. Yeah. Young, young, young girlfriends and wives.

760
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,000
Yep. They can have a cradle robbing party. Yeah.

761
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:35,000
They can go to like a Ferris wheel and maybe what was that, the the kids museum or something with them.

762
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:38,000
Yeah. Go see the clowns. Yeah.

763
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:43,000
Anyhow. All right. Who is Jaden Daniels ahead of already?

764
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:48,000
Sam Darnold. Yeah. Aaron Rodgers. Yeah.

765
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,000
Let's see. CJ Stroud. CJ Stroud. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

766
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,000
I think he's better than Trevor Lawrence at this point. Yes.

767
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:58,000
Does Trevor. Trevor. Somebody brought this up and it made sense.

768
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,000
Trevor Lawrence has not progressed since college. No, he hasn't.

769
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:05,000
He's the exact same player he was in college. Yeah. And I attribute that.

770
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:09,000
He's exactly what you get. He's a beach guy, just kind of like Herbert.

771
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:13,000
And especially with Doug Peterson, who's a known quarterback guy. Yeah.

772
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,000
And Trevor Lawrence hasn't progressed one bit.

773
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:21,000
No, he's not wanting. He doesn't have that. He doesn't have that gut for it.

774
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:24,000
Yeah. Kind of like I'm thinking Herbert, too. I think that they're too busy

775
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:28,000
just living their lives and living on the beach and they don't really care.

776
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:34,000
I think he's surpassed Russell Wilson. Yes.

777
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:42,000
Who else? Let's see. Oh, Bryce Young. Yeah, definitely Bryce Young.

778
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:46,000
Kyler Murray. Caleb Williams. Kyler Murray. Caleb Williams and Kyler Murray. Yeah.

779
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:52,000
There's a lot of quarterbacks with several years on them that he's just run right past.

780
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:58,000
Yeah. So it's safe to say that probably about 85% of the quarterbacks he jumped ahead of.

781
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:04,000
Boy, Washington is going to look back on that draft and really pat themselves on the back.

782
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:14,000
Yeah, they are. And another thing is this here. I think that Daniels is more legit than CJ Stroud.

783
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:19,000
Yeah. Because like I said, he's a five-star player. He has five stars on every front that you can see.

784
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:27,000
CJ Stroud isn't. CJ Stroud has, like Caleb Williams, he has talent that can be developed and exploited.

785
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:34,000
Jaden Daniels is just kind of way more complete already. You don't have to develop all that much with him.

786
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:39,000
I'll put it like this. OK, if Jaden Daniels is on the Texans and they lost,

787
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:44,000
he wouldn't have said anything like, CJ Stroud, like, oh yeah, yeah, you know, talking about the refs.

788
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:49,000
He would have been like, you know, we just got to play better. We got to play better. It'll take care of itself.

789
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:54,000
He would have taken that on his back and said, you know, it starts with me. I should have played better.

790
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:58,000
I should have picked up the pace. I should have thought not to do this, not to do that.

791
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,000
And he goes, yeah, you know what? I failed.

792
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:05,000
Or like Lamar Jackson said, you know, we were right there, but I'm tired of being right there.

793
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:11,000
I know. I appreciated that, too, because he's right. They're always right there, but they never get over it.

794
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:16,000
But I'll tell you Lamar Jackson's problem is, is two. Josh Allen and Patrick Mahal.

795
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:26,000
Yeah. Yeah, I think if Lamar Jackson and the whole Baltimore Ravens team moved to the NFC,

796
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:29,000
they would be much better. Yeah, they'd be in a couple of Super Bowls.

797
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:33,000
They'd be fighting. They'd be beating some people in the playoffs and getting to the Super Bowl.

798
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:38,000
Yeah, I mean, I could see them beating Sam Fran just with their game plan, how they do things.

799
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:43,000
But who knows? I mean, you know, Sam Fran was a very good team. We'll see how they rebound from this.

800
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:46,000
That's another place that needs a quarterback. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

801
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:49,000
They're kind of done with the Brock Purdy era.

802
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:52,000
It looks like they're kind of washing their hands of it, doesn't it?

803
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:56,000
Yeah, I think they figured out this is all you get from Brock Purdy.

804
00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:02,000
Yeah, you're not going to get anything else. And look, I mean, for a Mr. Irrelevant, great job.

805
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:07,000
Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. And also a great backup, a fantastic backup.

806
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:14,000
Yeah. Every now and then he has a little flash of something like the elite quarterbacks, but he can't sustain it.

807
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:21,000
He doesn't have that ability to take the game on his back and go, come on, guys, I'm going to guide you to where we need to go.

808
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:30,000
So, all right. Next, are the Chiefs, is their hate justified?

809
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:35,000
You know, I kind of get it how people are really sick and tired of the Chiefs.

810
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,000
You're right. That's where I was going to go.

811
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:42,000
It's the same overexposure that we got with the Patriots and with the Cowboys.

812
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,000
Yes. And with the Yankees.

813
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:49,000
Yeah, the Yankees are really good at illustrating that. Yes.

814
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:53,000
People get sick of seeing the same old, the same suspects in there.

815
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:59,000
Yeah. And especially if Mahomes wins again this weekend, you are going to see all kinds of hate.

816
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:05,000
And, oh, the referee did this, you know, a referee attacked Allen with a butcher knife.

817
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:08,000
Yeah. You know, there will be all this stuff that they say.

818
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:11,000
But you know, they're all going to still tune in to watch the Super Bowl. Exactly.

819
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:17,000
Because the ratings keep going up and up and up. The ratings between the Texas and the Chiefs was an all-time high. All-time high.

820
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:21,000
So, they might say, I hate watching the Chiefs win, but they still tune in, don't they?

821
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:30,000
Yeah, they do. And the funny thing is, is it wasn't a barn burner, like they thought. No.

822
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:35,000
It was not a throw fest. I think I predicted 31 to 29. You know, big score.

823
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:41,000
Yeah, I forgot what I predicted. It was up there. We both thought it was going to be a high-scoring game. Yeah, we did.

824
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:44,000
But boy, defense has jumped right in.

825
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:51,000
I'll tell you what, the Chiefs defense is the reason we're winning so many games.

826
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:56,000
I mean, Mahomes, too. Let me say it. OK. That's completely wrong what I just said.

827
00:44:56,000 --> 00:45:03,000
Mahomes makes the plays when it counts with a strong defense is what wins games. Yeah.

828
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:08,000
He finds that guy that's open somehow at the right time and does it. Yep.

829
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:19,000
So, the Kelsey haters, I don't hear him now. No. 117 yards touchdown. Pretty good day.

830
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:24,000
Pretty good day. He actually looked like he was having fun. He didn't look like he was in this much pain.

831
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:29,000
All season he didn't look like. Yeah. Yeah. I think that's what he lives for. He lives for this.

832
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:33,000
He doesn't live for the average game. So, anyhow.

833
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:40,000
Man, I could see playoffs getting addictive to football players like, oh my God, playoffs. It feels so good.

834
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:44,000
I think all the Chiefs will like it and that's why they never want to go away.

835
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:49,000
The enormous high you get from winning a tough playoff game, that must be something else.

836
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:54,000
Oh yeah. How do you like to be like a Frank Clark that wanted to come back for nothing and they didn't get him?

837
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:58,000
He'd probably be like, gosh, I want back on that team so bad. I'd love to win a couple more.

838
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:01,000
And they're, nah, we just don't really fit into our plan.

839
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:05,000
I forgot all about him. He was 55, wasn't he? Was his number. Yeah, he was really good.

840
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:15,000
He was a lineman wearing a linebacker's number. Yeah, but they figured something out because he wasn't nearly as effective the last year that I knew that he was in.

841
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:19,000
That's true. Yeah. We got him from Seattle, I think. Seattle and he went back to Seattle.

842
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:24,000
That's right. He did go back. So good for him that he was able to get back on the team. Oh, I liked him. Great guy.

843
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:29,000
Yeah, I think he was a really good guy and good player. Another one, Tyron Matthew. Yeah.

844
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:34,000
He was a perfectly fine player, but they saw something and they let him go. Yeah.

845
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:43,000
They got a younger guy in Justin Reed. He has been much better. Former Texan. Former Texan, yes. Yes.

846
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:48,000
I bet they're wishing they hadn't given him up. Oh, I bet they are too. Yeah. Yeah.

847
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:57,000
So, you know, part of what they do here is identify what is on the dissension and what's on the ascension.

848
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:03,000
Yeah, especially if you can save a little money. Yeah, and they've done that. They've done that.

849
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:13,000
So, okay, will CJ Stroud rebound next year? I think he will. I think he will too.

850
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:22,000
Yeah, I think their head coach down there, apart from teaching his team to take dirty hits and dirty shots

851
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:28,000
or at least tolerating it if he's not actually encouraging it, if he can get over that, he can become a good head coach

852
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:42,000
and build a good team. But as long as the Texans players continue to play dirty like that, there's a special level of hatred

853
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:50,000
that is aimed towards a team like that by the other organizations because they've got millions of dollars invested in these players

854
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:57,000
and they go play Houston and some jerk decides to take his knee out. It's like theirs goes millions of dollars.

855
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:07,000
Thanks a lot, asshole. The hatred they'll get from the other organizations and the other players, it's not sustainable.

856
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:13,000
If you're a dirty team that is injuring people and messing with their careers, they're not going to put up with it.

857
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:22,000
And that is one of the reasons why they were caught. That's why they were being called so very closely and they were warned ahead of time,

858
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:27,000
don't even think about doing this because if we even get a whiff of you trying to hurt somebody, we're going to call it. And they did.

859
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:32,000
And I'll put it like this, if they knock my homes out of the game, they don't care if their two starters are ejected.

860
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:39,000
They plan on winning that game after that. Exactly. So, you know what, serves them right. Come back next year,

861
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:43,000
be a little bit more legitimate and quit trying to do that dirty play that knocks a guy out.

862
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:51,000
And the NFL has been very clear about this the last few years is here are the quarterbacks that are making us a shit ton of money

863
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:56,000
and drawing the viewers in. Don't fuck with that. Yeah. You mess with them, we're going to put you down.

864
00:48:56,000 --> 00:49:04,000
Because now you're messing with our money too. Yep. Players, why can't they figure that out? Why can't the teams figure that out?

865
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:10,000
Just don't go after them and try to hurt them. Make a legitimate tackle or legitimate play or whatever.

866
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:19,000
But if you, yeah, they're going to get nailed. I agree. Okay, they're talking about adding the 18th game now, sooner than later.

867
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:30,000
Should this be figured in every contract? Yeah, I think so. They're saying it didn't amount to more injuries, but I differ.

868
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:38,000
I beg to differ on that. Yeah, true. And I think when the league schedule went from 16 to 17 games,

869
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:45,000
they didn't really figure it into the contract. It's just whatever your contract is now you get it over 17 weeks instead of 16.

870
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:51,000
Yeah. But I think if you're going to add an 18th game, the players are going to start putting in contracts of, you know,

871
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:58,000
this many games in a season equals this much money because that's wear and tear on my body. Yeah. Yep.

872
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:04,000
So there's going to be a premium paid to make them play that extra game.

873
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:09,000
Just because it didn't parlay in quarterbacks being knocked out doesn't mean anything. Yeah.

874
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:19,000
Receivers were taken a beating. And also the other side of it too, the cornerbacks. Corners and D linemen.

875
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:23,000
And D linemen, yeah. Not too many. There are some linebackers that got knocked out. There are some linebackers.

876
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:28,000
And there are some offensive linemen that paid the price too. Yeah. So they can't tell me that it didn't affect it.

877
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:36,000
It does. It does affect it. And I think that on their negotiation on every one go, look, you went from 16 to 17 games.

878
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:41,000
Now you're going to go to 18 games. You better up this offer a little bit. Plus it's going to shorten careers.

879
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:47,000
It's going to shorten careers. Because that extra game isn't just for this season. It also affects you next season.

880
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:52,000
And then there's another extra game that season too. It all accumulates. And then you might have to travel overseas.

881
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:59,000
Which affects your play and everything. So yeah, I think that this is going to amount to better contracts.

882
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:06,000
Yeah. And maybe even guaranteed ones. Yeah. I think that's definitely going to have to be taken into consideration.

883
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:12,000
And players union, if their leadership is on the ball, they will definitely be looking into that already.

884
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:21,000
They'll be all over this. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. And finally, will Patrick Mahomes catch Tom Brady over the course of his career?

885
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:29,000
Wow. Boy, what's Brady got like 95,000 yards or something? Yeah. Something really stupid?

886
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:35,000
Let's just go with rings first. Rings? I think it's very doable. I think that's doable. Yeah.

887
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:44,000
I think he's at least going to tie in. Yeah. It is kind of a different era as far as the financials and the way the game is run.

888
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:51,000
So there's going to be more obstacles to overcome, I think. 95,000 yards though. I don't know if Patrick could.

889
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:59,000
I know how well he's done and he's surpassing all these legendary players earlier than them. Yeah, I know that.

890
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:06,000
But as we get and we've progressed into the game and becomes a different type of a quarterback and to where he doesn't have to gunsling anymore.

891
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:16,000
I don't think he will. Yeah. That's what I was going to mention too is Brady put up a lot of passing yards because a lot of times he had to.

892
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:24,000
Yes. To come back or to maintain a lead. Mahomes used to do that, but the team has evolved to where he really doesn't need to put up big numbers.

893
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:33,000
And credit to Brett Veach and the other guys. I mean, oh, and we can get to that too because their assistant general manager was hired as the general manager

894
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:42,000
of the Titans five year deal. And that was on my paper, but I forgot his name. Anyhow, we can look it up.

895
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:53,000
Okay, so I think that a lot of the records, he's not going to hit. I think he's going to be in the ballpark, but I don't think he'll hit.

896
00:52:53,000 --> 00:53:00,000
And that is simply because Brett Veach and the guys knew you're not going to keep doing the shootout. Someone will figure it out.

897
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:10,000
They'll stop you. We're going to have to go to a defensive oriented team. And that's what they slowly did. They got Spagnolo, Bob Sutton stuff of like anybody throwing anywhere is out.

898
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:18,000
Now we're having real schemes, complicated schemes, disguised blitzes. Just because someone is in the backfield doesn't mean they're going to stay there.

899
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:27,000
Yeah. Just someone's in coverage doesn't mean they're going to stay there. Yeah. Love it. So. Another good example of that is in the Baltimore Buffalo game.

900
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:35,000
I think it was in the third quarter and Josh Allen had less than 100 yards passing. Yeah. But they were having no trouble. They're having no trouble.

901
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:42,000
Moving the ball, getting down the field, scoring. Yeah. That kind of versatility where you're not, oh, we're a passing team and that's all we do.

902
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:50,000
Well, then you can get that taken away. Yep. Yeah. The better teams are really versatile. I got a question for you. Yeah.

903
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:59,000
OK. In the AFC Championship game, what if Mahomes has more rushing yards than Josh Allen?

904
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:04,000
Does that mean they're winning the game or does that mean they're losing the game? Just a thought I just thought of.

905
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:12,000
I would say they're winning the game. Me too. Because I think if the Chiefs are struggling, Mahomes wouldn't be getting those yards.

906
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:20,000
He'd be getting sacked. Yeah. Because generally Mahomes does not. Well, the team doesn't call a design run for Mahomes anymore. No, no.

907
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:28,000
So if he runs, it's because everything broke down and this is his best chance. The quarterback sneak was X'd out after Denver and he popped his knee, hurt his knee.

908
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:36,000
In fact, they talked about that during the Texans game. They actually mentioned that on airs is, yeah, the Chiefs don't do quarterback sneaks because Mahomes got injured.

909
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:44,000
They did the radio. OK. Yeah. Because I had just mentioned it like 10 minutes before and then it came up on TV. Oh, there you go.

910
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:52,000
That's good. Yeah, I understand. Mitch Holtis is still milking that sweet nectar then. In case you're wondering.

911
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:59,000
Yeah. Yeah. So the ejaculate of the end zone. Yeah.

912
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:10,000
The Chiefs are getting a big load of the sweet nectar down their throats, right? Collinsworth and Holtis combined.

913
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:17,000
Mitch Collinsworth or Chris Holtis. Chris Holtis.

914
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:25,000
OK. Well, you had some football stuff that you have there. Yeah. Yeah, I was writing down some things.

915
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:33,000
We were watching this morning earlier, the Lions offensive coordinator, Ben Johnson, goes to the Bears to be the head coach.

916
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:39,000
They're talking about, you know, oh, is this going to save Caleb Williams? Is this going to bring him back?

917
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:46,000
The general consensus was he's not ruined. He's not that much of a project.

918
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:54,000
He's to be determined. Yeah. Yeah. Rehabilitation, I think, would be a good term, but he doesn't have to be like salvaged from the garbage heap or something.

919
00:55:54,000 --> 00:56:00,000
No, I think that he hasn't been knocked around enough to where he lost all confidence. Yeah.

920
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:08,000
His biggest problem from what I can see is his lack of taking chances because Babe Ruth was the home run king for a long time.

921
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:12,000
He is also the strikeout king. He was. Why is that? Because he always took the chance.

922
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:17,000
Caleb Williams right now has not been trained to take the chance. Mahomes, he throws interceptions now.

923
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:24,000
Remember Royals Steve Balboni? Yes, he struck out all the time, but he hit home runs. Yeah.

924
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:28,000
When he came up to bat, he's either going to strike out or hit a home run. Yeah.

925
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:34,000
He's one of the two. Yep. I forgot his nickname. It's something like the big sausage or something. I forgot.

926
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:38,000
Yeah, he was a pretty big guy. Big, beefy guy. He could have played football.

927
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaking of Balboni, Rocky VII is coming to theater soon. Wow.

928
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:54,000
This one it looks like is finally going to be put to rest. From what I read, Rocky dies. Oh wow.

929
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:57,000
And that's going to be it. Done. Okay.

930
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:01,000
And that's the kind of thing they probably go ahead and tell you up front to get you to come watch the movie.

931
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:07,000
Yeah, yeah. And also I think that a lot of it is virtual reality stuff. No, I can see that.

932
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:11,000
Sylvester Stallone, he looks great. Don't get me wrong. But he is 70. Yeah.

933
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:16,000
They're not going to have him in a ring against somebody. I mean, you know, maybe some of his... With his shirt off.

934
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:20,000
Yeah, with his shirt off. I'm sure he still looks great though with his shirt off. He doesn't look like he...

935
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:26,000
I'm sure he looks a hell of a lot better than I do. Oh, hell yeah. Me too.

936
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:29,000
I wish that's not hard to look better than me with a shirt off. Yeah, me neither.

937
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:35,000
The man boobs are creeping in. Yep, yep, yep. And that unsightly hernia. Yeah.

938
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:40,000
I'm talking about me, not you. Oh, okay. I've got a few surgical scars too. Yep.

939
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:48,000
Cooper Cupp. White receiver number 10 for the Rams. Yeah, yeah. He's been mouthing off lately, but I haven't had a chance to check.

940
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:53,000
He's saying he doesn't think he's going to be a Ram next season. He says it's not up to me.

941
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:59,000
I'd like to be here, but I don't know what's going to happen. Well, the back story is he has two seasons left on his contract,

942
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:05,000
but next season he's going to make $12.5 million, $5 million of it guaranteed.

943
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:13,000
And then if they cut him before June 1st, the team could save $7.5 million on the salary cap.

944
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:21,000
Okay. So pay him $12.5 million next year or save $7.5 million and get rid of him.

945
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:28,000
I think that's wishful thinking. He's looking at other teams like the Chiefs. The Chiefs, maybe Buffalo.

946
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:35,000
Yeah, yeah. He won't even hit the ground if he gets let go by the Rams. He'll be scooped up before he falls an inch.

947
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:42,000
Yeah, I think he is doing that for effect. So people will look that way.

948
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:46,000
Win-win for him. Either he puts the pressure on the Rams to keep him around. Exactly.

949
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:53,000
Or he puts the other teams on notice. Hey, save some cap room for me. I'm going to be available to save.

950
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:58,000
Save some cap room for me. And I think there are three or four teams that he said that specifically to.

951
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:03,000
And one of them would be the Chiefs. Who the heck wouldn't want to? If you're a wide receiver, why wouldn't you want to play for the Chiefs?

952
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:12,000
Yeah, yeah, exactly. You know, and I was reading where DeAndre Hopkins is like, wow, never won a divisional game before.

953
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:18,000
Now he's got that. Never been to a Super Bowl before. He may have that. In a championship game, never been to there. He's got that.

954
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:28,000
Yeah. You know, this is what the Niners were doing in the 80s. They were taking players from other teams that still had a lot left to offer and saying, come here.

955
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:34,000
We'll sign you for one season. You'll probably win the Super Bowl and you'll at least make playoffs and play.

956
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:41,000
You'd have great players on bad teams. They're like, hallelujah. I can finally see what it feels like to play a playoff game.

957
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:49,000
Yeah. Yeah. There's a lot of players that still do that like DJ Humphries. He was a pro bowler.

958
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:58,000
Yeah. I think he's still got some rehab going on and he might be there again, but he could have signed with anybody and probably for a little bit more money.

959
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:07,000
But he went to the Chiefs. Tony Gonzalez. That's a good one. Left the Chiefs and went to the Atlanta Falcons because they were way closer to Super Bowl than the Chiefs were at the time.

960
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:14,000
It didn't work out for him. No, he got to one. Yeah. He managed to actually win a playoff game with Atlanta.

961
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:23,000
Yeah. So I imagine he was excited about that. Yeah. But it's nice that the Chiefs are now that team that everyone wants to come to and have the best time of their career.

962
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:31,000
Yep. And then way too long neck Ryan kind of shit the bed in the second half. Matt Ryan.

963
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:41,000
Oh, Shane Steichen, who is the is he the GM or he's the GM or the coach of the Colts?

964
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:52,000
I think he's the GM. Yeah. Well, they're hiring former Bengals defensive coordinator Lou and Arumo to be the defensive coordinator in Indianapolis.

965
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:57,000
Did they not see the defense this year of the Bengals? That's what kind of made me wonder.

966
01:00:57,000 --> 01:01:03,000
I didn't think the Colts defense was markedly worse than Cincinnati.

967
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:08,000
So why make the change unless they knew they were going to lose that guy anyway?

968
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:15,000
I'm just kind of curious about this. It says Arumo takes over a defense in India that cratered over the last two seasons.

969
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:21,000
I don't think they really cratered. No. Falling from mid-level unit to you know, they're about 15th place.

970
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:30,000
Now they're in 24th and 29th. Former Jags coach Gus Bradley was the overseeing the defense as its coordinator.

971
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:34,000
OK, but they fired him at the end of the year.

972
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:40,000
I guess I wasn't paying that much attention to Indianapolis, but apparently they've just getting been getting worse and worse and worse.

973
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:49,000
So steady slow down hill slide. It started with trying to prop up Richardson. Yeah, that's true.

974
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:54,000
Oh, India would be another place Rogers could land. Oh, that's right. That's true.

975
01:01:54,000 --> 01:02:00,000
Play indoors for half your games, at least half the games. Probably help his old bones out quite a bit.

976
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:05,000
Yeah, let's see who was else in the division with them is the Titans.

977
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:11,000
Usually warm weather, the Texans warm weather, the Jags warm weather. Yeah, that'd be a good fit for Rogers.

978
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:18,000
He probably wouldn't have to get as Green Bay cold as he used to. Yeah.

979
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:21,000
And then let's see that I had the whole list of who the Raiders have fired.

980
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:26,000
They've been firing people over the whole course of the season. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

981
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:33,000
They hired their fired their head coach, Antonio Pierce on January 7th after one season.

982
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:41,000
Two days later. Yeah, not anymore. Two days later, they fired general manager Tom Tolesko. Oh, yeah.

983
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:52,000
And then during the season, they fired offensive coordinator Luke Getze, QB coach Rick Scandorillo and O-line coach James Craig.

984
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:59,000
They fired them back on November 3rd after a blowout loss to the Bengals, which dropped them to two and seven.

985
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:05,000
OK, so they've been firing people all season long. To me, that's not a legitimate team. No, no.

986
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:13,000
You stay put. Look at Jerry Jones. I mean, I hate Jerry Jones and he's an idiot, but he he knew not to get rid of McCarthy.

987
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:20,000
You're still paying him. Yeah. And the team's not going anywhere. Yeah, it's it's it's like spite.

988
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:23,000
It's like, oh, hurt you because you're hurting me. Yeah. Yeah.

989
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:28,000
Instead, just be like you're going to ride the season out as horrible as it is unless you resign.

990
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:33,000
You're staying there. Why bother with firing anybody during the season, this failed season?

991
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:38,000
Yeah. Yeah. Unless there's a coach sitting at home waiting to come in who's like a legend.

992
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:43,000
Yeah. If you're going to get Bill Belichick midseason, then yeah, go ahead and fire your guy.

993
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:47,000
He accidentally ran into Belichick at a party at a function.

994
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:51,000
And hey, I'd be willing to coach for you if you got rid of that fucking ass bag. Oh, really?

995
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:55,000
OK. OK. Don't say anything. I'm going to fire him first and then we'll get with you.

996
01:03:55,000 --> 01:04:00,000
It turns out. Oh, man, I was drunk. I didn't know what I was saying. What?

997
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:07,000
You know, before the season or early in the season, I was really down on the Carolina Panthers is like the worst organization.

998
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:12,000
It's like they weren't even trying. Raiders have far surpassed them. Yeah.

999
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:18,000
And right behind the Raiders is the Cleveland Browns, specifically because they won't let go of Deshaun Watson.

1000
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:22,000
I think if Cleveland wrote a book, it'd be how to destroy a perfectly good team.

1001
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:27,000
And it's such a storied franchise. I mean, the Browns have been around since, what, the 50s.

1002
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:31,000
Seventy five years. Art Modell was a prophet. Yeah.

1003
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:35,000
And he looked at that team and said, this team is cursed. I'm fucking out of here.

1004
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:38,000
Well, took them out of the whole city. And then look at Baltimore.

1005
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:43,000
I mean, they may not be winning Super Bowls, but they're always in the conversation. They've won a few.

1006
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:47,000
Yeah, they won a few. Yeah. Cleveland had Cleveland hasn't been to a Super Bowl.

1007
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:51,000
No, no. I don't look for it the way they're doing business.

1008
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:55,000
Yeah, they could write the book, how to fuck up a perfectly good team. No kidding.

1009
01:04:55,000 --> 01:05:02,000
And yeah, so. Yeah. And you know, the Raiders, you know, I remember the Raiders in the late 60s

1010
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:07,000
and 70s and early into the 80s when Al Davis was running them. Yeah.

1011
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:14,000
And he was unhinged. He was impulsive, but he would manage to every once in a while,

1012
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:18,000
put together a decent team and then make a run. They just don't do that anymore.

1013
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:23,000
No, I agree. They know. You can't do business that way anymore. The league has changed.

1014
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:28,000
But I think Al Davis's son, Mark, has not figured that out yet. I agree.

1015
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:35,000
This is the way dad did it. Did it work? No. This isn't 1975 anymore. It ain't going to work.

1016
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:43,000
No, I agree. Who was that tight end that the Raiders had? He was number 46.

1017
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:49,000
And he had a mullet of long curly hair and he had a molestash that he wore.

1018
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:56,000
I keep trying to remember that guy's name. He used to do like a five minute commentary on the NFL.

1019
01:05:56,000 --> 01:06:00,000
I know who you're talking about. Yeah. Damn it. Yeah. He died young too. Yeah, he did.

1020
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:04,000
I think as a result of abusing his body of steroids. Probably.

1021
01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:12,000
Oh, shit. I can't think of his name. Yeah. Oh, well. Anyway. Yeah. I can see his face.

1022
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:18,000
But I mean, back then, the Raiders actually mattered. Yeah. They just don't matter anymore.

1023
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:22,000
No, I agree. And I really don't see him mattering as long as they're in Vegas.

1024
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:25,000
Vegas will never take them seriously.

1025
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:29,000
It's like, oh, the Raiders are winning great. Oh, the Raiders are losing?

1026
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:31,000
Screw them. There's other stuff to do. Yeah.

1027
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:36,000
And it's kind of like Los Angeles. You're just never going to get any kind of decent home field advantage

1028
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:38,000
because there's just so much else to do.

1029
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:43,000
Anyone that has season tickets are like, oh, man, it's going to be a great day. Let's sell them online.

1030
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:55,000
Yeah. Let's see. Other notable firings. 49ers fired their defensive coordinator, Nick Sorensen.

1031
01:06:55,000 --> 01:07:00,000
Yeah. Not to be confused with dirty Dan Sorensen.

1032
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:05,000
Dan Sorensen was another one they got rid of when they saw the red. Well, he was spotty anyhow.

1033
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:12,000
Yeah. He made some great plays, but he was a penalty waiting to happen. Yeah. For a lot. Yeah.

1034
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:20,000
The Titans fired GM Ran Karthon. We already talked about Colts firing DC Gus Bradley.

1035
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:24,000
Seahawks fired offensive coordinator, Ryan Grubb.

1036
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:30,000
Bengals, we mentioned, fired their defensive coordinator, Lou Anarumo.

1037
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:34,000
Patriots fired Gerard Mayo and hired Mike Vrabel. We already knew that.

1038
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:40,000
Browns fired offensive coordinator, DeKen Dorsey and no line coach, Andy Dickerson.

1039
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:45,000
Bears fired head coach, Mac Eberfluse and offensive coordinator, Shane Waldron.

1040
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:50,000
And they've already got their new head coach. And the Saints fired head coach, Dennis Allen.

1041
01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:55,000
So this really seems like a lot more than the usual turnover, doesn't it?

1042
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:58,000
It is. And that's why I'm afraid this might be the one that Spagnollo goes.

1043
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:01,000
Yeah. Yeah. Because there's so many opportunities.

1044
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:06,000
I think Spags might have a pretty good shot with New Orleans.

1045
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:12,000
Yeah. Yeah, I could see New Orleans.

1046
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:19,000
Yeah. And any team that is in a division where they've got to go up against somebody like Mahomes.

1047
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:23,000
Yeah. Yeah. You'll need a defensive mind like Spags.

1048
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:26,000
Exactly. That's what I'm thinking. And he might be able to turn that around.

1049
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:33,000
I'm sure he would. Yeah. Bob Sutton's defense was so horrible and Spags turned it around in a couple of years.

1050
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:45,000
It's a perfect learning situation for Spags because he's learning how to design a defense against Patrick Mahomes in practice every day.

1051
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:52,000
Yeah. He goes and practices against Patrick Mahomes and every day that they practice. You've got to get good.

1052
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:59,000
Yeah. Yep. That's true. Yeah. That is an advantage, though. There's a wizard that can do anything and you're trying to stop him.

1053
01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:08,000
Yeah. And you get to study him constantly. Yeah. So when you run up against Josh Allen, you have a pretty good inkling of what to do.

1054
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:19,000
Yeah. That's got to be pretty advantageous. Yeah. Is that it? That's all I had on the hirings and firings.

1055
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:26,000
The game. The championship game, AFC. Yeah. Now, let's do the NFC first and then we'll go to AFC.

1056
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:36,000
OK. Philly and Washington. Sounds like the 70s, doesn't it? It does. It does. I always kind of had a soft spot for the Washington team.

1057
01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:43,000
Yeah. Me too, especially after they got rid of Dan Snyder. Now they're kind of like now they're winning and looking good.

1058
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:49,000
I think that's awesome. It's just reward for an idiot. Yeah. The curse of Dan Snyder is gone. Yes. It's so nice.

1059
01:09:49,000 --> 01:10:02,000
Washington did a really good job handling the blanking who they played last week.

1060
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:14,000
The Rams. The Rams. And then, well, who beat the Lions? Look how prepared we are.

1061
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:22,000
Oh, shit. I thought it was Lions and Rams. Oh, shit. Was it? Hang on. Hang on. Who did beat the Lions?

1062
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:31,000
It was Washington. Hang on. Let's see. Shit. I keep. I got these wrong. Yeah, we're not prepared, are we?

1063
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:39,000
Well, we had to. We had to change our locale last second.

1064
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:45,000
Okay. Eagles beat the Rams. Commanders dismantled the Lions. That's it. Sorry.

1065
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:54,000
So, yeah, the commanders did really well against the Lions. They were on fire. They were. The defense was handling everything the Lions could handle.

1066
01:10:54,000 --> 01:11:05,000
Philadelphia has been a good team, but I don't know. There's something about them that just doesn't really impress me for some reason.

1067
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:13,000
I know they're really good. They won a ton of games. They're right there in the NFC Championship game, but for some reason, I just really don't believe in them.

1068
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:20,000
I'm not sure why. No, I. I really think.

1069
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:32,000
Yeah, I was hoping the Lions would make it to the Super Bowl, but after seeing them fall apart against Washington, then I'm glad they're gone, because that would have been a real stinker of a Super Bowl.

1070
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:36,000
Oh, God. Yeah.

1071
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:46,000
Okay. Well, Philadelphia is seasoned and tenured, but Jayden Daniels doesn't know he can't do it.

1072
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:53,000
Yeah. So that makes him really dangerous. Yeah. And he's been doing it on the road.

1073
01:11:53,000 --> 01:12:01,000
Yeah. I'm going to give the edge as silly as it seems. I'm going to give it to the commanders. I think so, too.

1074
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:10,000
Philly may win, but Jayden Daniels going to do some special things. They're going to make the league turn around and go. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

1075
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:20,000
I want to remind everybody. Well, it is D Ford that really fucked up that game. But yeah, Mahomes made it to the championship game his first year.

1076
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:28,000
And so did Jayden Daniels, at least. Yeah. So if you want to compare, I think it's a little bit more comparison than some of the other ones.

1077
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:40,000
So I'm giving the edge to the commanders. But and also I think I'm not a believer in Nick Sirianni. I think he's an idiot.

1078
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:49,000
But Shaquan Barkley, you got to stop him. Yeah. And Jaylen Hertz and a defense. I mean, you know, it's going to be a really tall task.

1079
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:57,000
But I'll tell you this. If the game is tied into the fourth quarter, I think the commanders are going to definitely win. Yeah. Yeah. I can see that. Yeah. Yeah.

1080
01:12:57,000 --> 01:13:05,000
If you're like got nine minutes left in the fourth quarter and it's close or tied, watch out. Yeah. You leave them in the game. Yeah.

1081
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:14,000
I'm going to say the commanders are going to eat by late in the game. You? Yeah. I'm going to go with commanders as well.

1082
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:28,000
A one score game. Yeah. Probably like four or five points. It's going to be close, which is good for viewing because if one touchdown can change the lead, then that's always fun.

1083
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:39,000
Fun to watch. Yeah. Yeah. I think both games are going to be fantastic. So I'm going to give the commanders a slight edge. So yeah, me too.

1084
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:50,000
OK. I don't have a score yet. Twenty four, twenty three. Yeah. Twenty eight, twenty seven, something like that. I think both those sound good. Yeah. Yeah.

1085
01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:58,000
And it would not surprise me when the Eagles win, but I'm giving the commanders a slight edge because Jaden Daniels does not know he cannot do it. Yeah.

1086
01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:10,000
So, oh, I was just reading on my phone here. Skip Bayless accused the NFL of rigging the game between the Texas and Chiefs to keep Taylor Swift in there.

1087
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:20,000
If I was the NFL, I would ban his credentials. I would think so. He's outright calling it a fixed game. Yeah. I think he's losing his mind.

1088
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:26,000
He hates the Chiefs so much. Either that or his career is sinking and he's doing everything possible to get attention.

1089
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:35,000
Well, that lawsuit. Have you read that lawsuit? No, I just heard that he was getting sued. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Against him and Fox Sports, I believe.

1090
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:45,000
Yeah. He is supposedly a real fucking nasty. Wow. Yeah. I can see that little bitch. Yeah. Yep. I can see that little bitch being a filthy, in my opinion. Yeah. Yeah.

1091
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:52,000
Someone that has nothing to say but counter programming is an idiot. Number one, they have nothing of their own to provide. Yeah.

1092
01:14:52,000 --> 01:15:04,000
So, if I was the NFL, I'd say, listen, you're allegedly an old nasty and you bring nothing to the game and you just said we rigged a game. Uh-uh. You're out of here.

1093
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:15,000
I'm sure you've watched TV shows where there's that one character and their entire job on the TV show is to be annoying. Yeah, that's him. And obnoxious. Yeah. And just piss you off.

1094
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:27,000
Yeah, that's Skip Bayless. Yeah, that's him. On a TV show that works for a while, it's the person you love to hate. Uh-huh. But on a TV show, you script everything they say. They never surprise you.

1095
01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:40,000
Skip Bayless is being that guy that you can't control his mouth and you know he loves to hear himself talk. Yes. Yeah. So, who knows what he's going to say next? If he's willing to say that out loud, what is he holding back?

1096
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:57,000
No, I know. And he's done this a few times on Twitter or X. You know, when Mahomes didn't get in the Pro Bowl. I told you and it's like, what do you mean? That means nothing. Yeah. Like I said, Mahomes is going to be busy. He's not going to your fucking Pro Bowl.

1097
01:15:57,000 --> 01:16:14,000
Yeah. He'd be the kind of guy that, you know, when somebody rescues a little kid from drowning in a swimming pool and you're all standing around congratulating the lifeguard, he's the kind of guy that would run up and say, yeah, yeah, I did great, didn't I? Yeah.

1098
01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:35,000
Yeah. Patting himself on the back. I'll put it like this. Mahomes is the type of guy that will tell you what he is. You don't tell him what he is. Yeah. So, you will see again what he is. And so, anyhow, that game, we both gave slight edge to Washington. Yeah.

1099
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:51,000
Okay. So, now let's get over to the Kansas City Chiefs with the Buffalo Bills arriving here. Probably. Let's see. What is today? Today's Tuesday. They'll probably get here Friday. Yeah, they'll probably be here Friday. So, make sure that their steak is tough.

1100
01:16:51,000 --> 01:17:11,000
It's supposed to be decent weather. Yeah. Above freezing. Yeah, above freezing. So, it should, the weather should not affect that game at all. To me, it's a dead toss up. It really is. I mean, it could be a late mistake or late penalty that's going to decide this game.

1101
01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:24,000
You're talking about two of the greatest quarterbacks probably ever when it's all said and done. Yeah. If I had to give a slight edge to somebody, how can you not go against Mahomes? And this is not being a homer. Not really. This is body of work.

1102
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:39,000
And what they've overcome this season. Yeah. I'm going to have to give a slight edge to Mahomes. And that's it. Yeah. But I think the team that doesn't make the mistake at the very end is going to be the victorious one.

1103
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:59,000
Yeah, I would game plan this way. I would tell the team, don't worry about Josh Allen's running ability. Worry about his quarterback sneak ability. But stop the running backs. If Josh Allen wants to take off and run with it, let him and then hit him like you would a running back.

1104
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:21,000
I would too. Yeah. Then do your usual pass defense and blitzing, etc. But I think if you take away the Bills running game as far as their two actual running backs, I think that will hurt Buffalo. I think Buffalo will have to become predictable at that point.

1105
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:46,000
And also, I think disguised blitzes are going to be the key too. If he's back in the pocket and he doesn't know someone's coming, that's going to be lethal to him and good for us. The tip pass with some of our taller guys like Amenahue and Janel and Jones. Yeah. Some of these taller guys are going to get in there and get some big hands up above there.

1106
01:18:46,000 --> 01:19:01,000
The timing is just amazing. It boggles my mind how these giant human beings can have that much body control and timing. I know. Well, you're either born with the ability to or not. You and I don't have that ability. Plus, they're like half our age.

1107
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:27,000
Yeah, that's true too. That makes a slight difference. You can get into shape and do the best you can. But if you're not born with these God-given gifts, you're not playing that type of a game. So, yeah. Chief slight-edged you. I'm going to give it a 32, 27, chiefs.

1108
01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:35,000
I'm going to go lower scoring. I'm going to go like 27 to 23, chiefs.

1109
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:40,000
Okay. And this is not being a homer. We're going by body of work. Go ahead.

1110
01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:42,000
I think a home field advantage is going to come up big.

1111
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:44,000
That's another thing too.

1112
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:52,000
Being that loud in an outdoor stadium has got to hurt.

1113
01:19:52,000 --> 01:20:01,000
I could see earlier in the season when the chiefs played the Bills, they were probably thinking at that point, we're going to see these guys in the playoffs.

1114
01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:06,000
They said it at the end of the game. They said, we'll see here in a couple of months.

1115
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:18,000
But I think in the game preparation, even back then, they were thinking, here's the stuff we want to hide. Even if we lose this game to Buffalo, this is still important to hide this stuff.

1116
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:22,000
I think that was the, and we're going to see all that stuff on Sunday.

1117
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:30,000
They were neck and neck until that last run from Allen. And then the one where he ran for 20-some yards and got an end zone.

1118
01:20:30,000 --> 01:20:35,000
So, they got a really good play in on us, but as far as the game being dominated, it didn't happen.

1119
01:20:35,000 --> 01:20:42,000
It's funny. It used to be win every game no matter what. Now it's win strategically.

1120
01:20:42,000 --> 01:20:52,000
Andy Reid, I can corner him for a lot of that. His game planning and strategies during the year are much different than the ones during the playoffs.

1121
01:20:52,000 --> 01:20:56,000
I think that's how it's going to go.

1122
01:20:56,000 --> 01:20:59,000
Okay, well, I guess we got that covered.

1123
01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:00,000
Yeah.

1124
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:04,000
So, should we shut this off and go to the music creeps?

1125
01:21:04,000 --> 01:21:05,000
I think we should.

1126
01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:07,000
Okay, alright. Everybody, thanks for listening. Fuck you.

1127
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:08,000
Bye.

1128
01:21:08,000 --> 01:21:14,000
Did you really sit there and listen to all that garbage that was being, do you actually believe one inch of it?

1129
01:21:14,000 --> 01:21:42,000
I didn't think so. Hang on, game over.
