Well, since the sports show can't be called two douchebags with a microphone,
maybe we could just call them the sports bastards.
Harambe used to listen to our original show, Two Dip Shits and a Cheek Radio Shack Realistic Tape Recorder.
You might ask why Harambe never listens to our original show, Two Dip Shits and a Cheek Radio Shack Realistic Tape Recorder.
Well, it's because Harambe is dead.
Sorry Harambe, being sports bastards, the only sports show with gusto.
So we can just kind of do a rambling intro kind of thing.
Make people think like they got into the podcast halfway through.
Oh, okay. I like that. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, thanks for turning it on.
We have three hours that are not going to be shown because he just now turned it on.
Yeah. Yeah. Sorry.
You missed it all. Yeah. Yep.
Your life is incomplete.
But if you order the subscription, $9.95 a month, you can get the outtakes.
That's when we know we've really arrived, just we have a monthly subscription service and it's crap.
Yeah. Right now they'd only pay us to shut up.
Yeah. Yeah. And that's pretty lucrative.
It is. Yeah. Five bucks and we're not ready to give that one up.
No, no. Five bucks and we don't send it to their inbox. They're like, man, it's worth it.
Yeah. It's like the guy who shows up at your house with a set of bagpipes.
He says, pay me 10 bucks or I'll start playing.
Yeah. He gets a lot of money.
Or it's like find out whenever someone is out late in their hangovers.
Then you go to their door.
10 bucks or I won't stop.
That's when Junior comes in and says, Dad, I'm going to practice my trombone now, unless...
You know, if you give me some money for the arcade, then I'll be down there not playing the trombone.
Kids are smart. Kids are smart.
Yes, they are. Oh, yeah. Yeah. They manipulate parents all the time.
Sometimes you know it, sometimes you don't.
Yeah.
I guess this is supposed to be a football show.
It is. It is. So, okay. We got a game coming up this Sunday at 520 or something like that.
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah, 525 and it is called the Super Bowl.
It's number 59.
Yeah, Super Bowl licks. That's the way the Roman numerals spell out licks.
And for all you conspiracists, yes, it's all red. So, they think they're the chiefs.
Yeah. And if that's the way the script is written?
Yeah. Yeah.
They wasn't sure if the Eagles were still going to be a team by then, so they couldn't put three in there.
Oh, that's true. That's true.
Yeah. Yeah. So, anyhow.
I love the fact that it's in New Orleans. That's an hour flight.
Yeah, and there's tons of lights.
Yes. And for what I saw, it's going to be a sea of red. It's basically going to be a home game.
I imagine so. That'd be an awesome destination for Philly fan who's probably tired of the cold right now.
Oh, probably.
But, yeah, I see KC flooding that stadium by then.
Yeah. Well, the advantage we have is Philly fan doesn't have any money, you know.
Collecting aluminum cans doesn't quite get you enough money for a...
And notice we're saying Philly fan, not resident of Philadelphia.
Yeah, we're saying Philly fan.
We're saying Philly fan. You can live anywhere and be Philly fan.
Yes. Yep.
So, Philadelphia, we love you. As a town, we love you.
But Philly fan, you're kind of like Yankee fan or Jayhawk fan.
Yeah, yeah. Very annoying.
Yes.
I've got something here I want to just start off with.
USA today, they can eat a pile of dicks. And here's why.
Okay.
All right. They put in writing like it was a fact that the Bills scored a first down on that play.
Oh, I remember that. Yeah, they just declared it in that this was now fact.
Yeah, yeah. Which is bullshit.
This is why newspapers are going out of business. Printing opinion, but not printing facts.
Yeah, yeah. It's a sad state of the printed media that now they're forced to run stories that are going to appeal to the kind of people who are already subscribing.
Yes.
Because you're not going to get any new subscribers.
Yeah.
So, it's like public radio. They're going to give the people what they want to hear and what they want to read and fuck the truth.
Yeah. So, I mean, if I wanted that opinion, I would go get a news gazette buffalo or whatever it is.
Exactly.
And I would buy that. And then they would be on there. When that was a first down and I know it.
I would like to know how anyone knew it was a first down.
Yeah.
How could you tell?
They tell you over and over. That yellow line you see on the field is not official.
No.
And in fact, the NFL has already addressed this. They're going to get artificial intelligence involved next season.
The officials are still going to determine forward progress and spot the ball. But then AI is going to measure it.
You see, and I like this because now all these blathering fools are not going to be able. I mean, they can bitch about AI.
It's going to be like, look, guys, it's just like the world changes, you know, after they said, well, now we need two people scoring in overtime.
The second possession.
Yeah, second possession. And the Chiefs, frankly, they did it the very, you know, in the Super Bowl.
But the thing is, is they come up with all these rules and it doesn't mean anything because talent wins. That's just the way it is.
I mean, talent, then they're done at the, you know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like the politicians when the tornado hits a town, they all get on their podium and say, oh, we're sending our thoughts and prayers.
Well, a truckload of thoughts and prayers isn't going to feed anyone.
No, no, no. Go down there and send them food, send them shelter, send them money.
That has taken the place of a checkbook charity where you used to write, just write them a check and don't think about them.
Now you just be seen in public saying thoughts and prayers and you never have to give a damn again.
Yeah, that's true. And then it's quickly forgotten.
Yeah.
So anyhow, I mean, I'm, I think the AI thing is going to be great and you're going to have people bitching about how long it's taken.
Yeah.
We've got three timeouts in a row because AI is doing it. Well, there you go.
Tennis is already doing it. They use AI and a chip in the ball and positional cameras in certain positions, et cetera.
And they can determine exactly where that ball was and where it hit in or out on the line, whatever.
It's just a matter of will. So far, the NFL, this is as far as they're willing to go.
Yeah.
But if we keep the pressure up, then there's going to start turning over all these things where judgment calls can make a big impact on the game.
Yeah. So I think that this is where they should go because everybody seems to have their opinion on this and it all, you know, I mean, it's just the general.
You prop them up. Everybody loved Tom Brady at first, too.
Oh, yeah.
He was the guy that came in behind Drew Bledsoe, the superstar. He was supposed to be, he was the last pick in that draft. I mean, was it 29 draft, 2000? No, no, no.
No, it was 1999.
It was like a third or fifth round draft, something like that. Yeah.
Yeah. He was way down there. He wasn't supposed to do anything.
He was probably the last quarterback taken. That's what they're about to say.
Yeah. Yeah, that was it. Yeah. He was the last quarterback taken. So he wasn't supposed to do anything.
All of a sudden when he did, he was the darling. I was like, oh, yeah, let him win two or three Super Bowls.
And now all of a sudden he was a piece of crap. Everybody wanted to cheat. Yeah. Yeah.
All the stories started coming out about deflated footballs and stealing signs and filming practices.
This is the same thing we do every time there's somebody who's popular.
Eventually we get tired of them being popular. So we tear them down, throw them away and pick someone else.
Yeah. Yeah. Right now it's the chief's turn to be popular nationwide. And I'm loving every second of it.
I know it's going to go away. Yeah. And I'll never see it again in my lifetime.
But for now it feels pretty freaking good.
I mean, you know, you have a certain amount of society, like 2 percent, that are running around all over the internet going, oh, it's fake, it's scripted and all this because, you know, Taylor and all that stuff.
Where so all the other 31 teams are like, OK, we're going to let you guys win again. I'm sorry. That's just not going to happen.
And also I got a thing I want to produce here about Skip Bayless. Oh, yes.
All he's trying to do is save face now because he was so wrong about Mahomes. Oh, yeah. OK.
So now he says, according to him, he never was a great quarterback. OK. Uh huh.
So now he's saying, well, he doesn't look the same as he used to. That's what I'm trying to say. He's not the same quarterback. No, no, no, no, no, no.
You blither an idiot. No, you said he was never that guy. So now you're saying he was. Dude's been electronically recorded for years and now he's he's trying to walk it back.
Yeah, he's trying to walk it back. OK. He's a little sawed off fucking piece of crap. Yeah.
You know, so hey, I'll skip target. Shut up. Just go away. Yeah.
Pretty much the whole country wants Skip Tard to go away. Yeah. Yeah. Go grab some fentanyl and chew on it.
Allegedly. Allegedly. Go grab some chewing gum with fentanyl laced chewing gum and shut up.
So anyhow, speaking of altering reality, we'll hit this again on the music creeps.
But the self titled CD by Motley Crue, the one with John Karabi on it, it is disappearing from most major streaming platforms.
Really? I think you can still find it on Amazon, but pretty much everywhere else.
All you find is the song Hooligans Holiday and everything else has been removed.
And I'll mention 10 years people forget that there ever was an album.
See how they're rewriting history right in front of us and make more now.
Everything is with John five. John five. John five. Yep.
People are going to forget Mick was ever in the band. Yeah.
And that's what Mick one of the things that he's fighting for and one of the things he's taking them to court for.
What he says is showing up right there on what they're doing right now because he said that they're trying to erase him from the whole history of Motley Crue.
And it's a real thing. It really is a real thing. Yeah.
And people do it and they do make money by doing it. Yeah. Yeah. You got to watch it.
Anyway, back to football. We can get into that a little bit later.
But I wanted to mention that about how history can be changed right under your nose.
I know. Well, I got the CD and then I got their branch off CD that you had to send in a little piece of paper that they gave you with the self titled album.
It's called Coordinary and it has some great songs on there.
And as long as I can play it to people, I'm going to let them know they're out there.
I mean, they may not be able to get them anywhere. Probably YouTube.
I get them on YouTube. But other than that, you know what? I don't care.
They want to be like that. I wouldn't go buy their shit anyhow.
But eventually every disc player in the country will have a code sent to it saying, no, don't play that.
Pretend you don't recognize it. Pretend the disc is too scratched.
Yeah, I can see that too. So, you know, all this corporate bullshit that Nicky used to speak about.
He's a part of it in my opinion. Yeah, he lost all credibility.
It's sad. It really is sad. That part was always in him. It was always in him.
I wish he would have kept it under wraps a little longer.
Nicky, you're much cooler when you're on heroin. I'm sorry.
That's true. Yeah, there were some people that probably were a little cooler when they were blasted out of their minds.
Yeah, yeah. I think he was one of them.
Anyhow, okay, so do you think the Chiefs are going to have a really tough time?
Yes, I think it's going to be difficult.
I think Shaquam Barkley is not only a running machine, but a time eating machine.
Yeah, that's going to be a big part of it.
I remember the last Super Bowl that the Chiefs played Philly, they started the game trying to run the play clock down to almost nothing.
So they started the game in chew the clock mode to keep Mahomes off the field as much as possible.
I imagine they're going to do that again.
I'm looking for Eric Coriel. I think the Chiefs are going to just throw, throw, throw.
They're like, okay, take 10 minutes scoring. Another minute, we're going to have another seven.
And then in the fourth quarter, when they're wore down, you're going to see Cream Hunt.
And wouldn't it be interesting if Cream Hunt had more yards than Shaquam Barkley?
Oh, that would be so fun.
That would be fun.
We got to worry about the Chiefs D getting tired from being out there, you know, five, six, seven minute drives.
So they're going to have to lean on their depth quite a bit, start shuffling guys in and out the minute they get anywhere close to being tired.
Take them out for a play or two.
And that's a good thing about the Super Bowl halftime is it's so long that they get a really good rest.
That's true. That is good for them.
Yeah. So I think it's going to once again, it's probably going to be decided by maybe a late mistake.
Yeah. I think the Chiefs are going to bring out all sorts of things we haven't seen this year.
Oh, I think so too.
Well, all on defense, you know, on offense. The defense is going to be, I think the defense is usual, but geared more towards stopping the running game.
But we're going to see some offense that we haven't seen yet.
I say that there's going to be a couple of people getting sacks that you're going to go, how did that happen?
I'll tell you how that happened. Spagnolo's genius.
Yeah.
You know, McDuffie might get a sack.
You'd be like, how did that happen?
Yeah, they get you to the point where just when you think you figured out what the trick is, he changes the trick.
So now it's something else.
Yeah, he does.
You never get a handle on it.
Look at what we're doing. Oh, no, no. Oh, no. They're doing that over there.
It keeps the offense frustrated.
Yeah.
Because they're always trying to follow their guy. You know, their guy splits across the field.
They're like, wait a minute, hang on. What's he doing?
You get those blockers second guessing.
Yes.
And not going with their first instinct, which they normally they go with their first instinct. That's how they react so quickly.
Now you get them. They stop and think for a minute. And yeah, that's an awesome advantage.
It is.
They're just run right past him.
Yep.
Something the chief's going to have to watch, though, is the officials are going to be very tight on when Philly does the butt bump.
The tush push.
Yeah. The officials are going to be watching that very close because the chiefs were able to stop Josh Allen by jumping the snap count.
Well, Washington tried to do that to Philly and were called on two successive penalties.
And they almost got a free touchdown because of it.
So I think the officials are going to tell the chiefs right off the bat, look, we're going to watch you really carefully on that play, in particular that play.
And if you jump, we're calling.
Yeah.
Even by just a hair, they're going to I think they're going to call.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
I think also I think this is going to probably be a high scoring game anyhow.
Yeah. Yeah.
The last one was 38-35.
Yeah.
I look for it like that again. 38-35 something like that again.
Now I think you're going to get a majority of the scoring in the third and fourth quarter late in the third and fourth quarter.
Yeah.
It's going to look like a 10 to 17 deal and then all of a sudden it's going to go, oh, they got one.
OK, we answer back.
They do.
You know, I'm leaning towards 48-30, 42-38.
That sounds about right.
42-38.
Yeah.
Yeah. So like last year, last Super Bowl, but with a little extra scoring on top.
Yeah.
And until further notice, I have to go with Kansas City.
Oh, yeah.
Absolutely.
The pedigree, everything is there.
I mean, I know I'm a Chiefs homer, yes, but this is coming out as in, like if I was gambling on it myself, which I might be on something, who knows?
We'll see.
Or if someone held a gun in my head and said, you picked the right one or you're dead, I mean, would you go against my homes?
No.
Now you'd be like, OK, and Reed and everybody else, Gene Jones, Carl Lothdus, all those guys.
Yeah.
And we don't know how many of those players are already figuring this is going to be the last game of their career because they haven't told anyone yet.
That's true.
But there are going to be some players on both sides who know and a few of their teammates know this is it.
Yeah.
So I don't care if I bust a kidney or lose a leg or whatever, I want that ring.
Yeah.
Yep.
And this is something about Shaquan Barkley, too.
Yeah.
He is going to want to win a ring.
He was in New York doing nothing, nothing, wasting, riding on the vinyl.
Now he has a purpose.
You got to watch that guy.
But Kareem Hunt.
Yep.
He definitely wants to make, you know, comeback player in at least that sense.
I think somebody has already made comeback player of the year.
Yeah, should have.
I think it was Joe Burrow.
Oh, he did.
I think, yeah, because he came back from that injury that put him out in the season and he did have a really good season.
Yeah, but I don't.
I think something like Hunt is a better example of comeback player of the year.
And also it exemplifies the redemption.
You know, it's like, all right, I messed up.
I had to leave.
I was out of football, sitting on the couch, eating Cheetos, and I got the call.
Pacheco went out.
And all of a sudden I got this new gift from God and I'm giving it everything that I can.
Miles Garrett has learned that lesson, hasn't he?
Yes, he's leaving Cleveland.
He publicly sent a message out saying, I've loved my time here, loved the fan base, and et cetera,
but I want a ring, so I'm leaving.
Just out and out told him, I'm not going to get a ring here, so I'm leaving.
Wow.
Well, unfortunately, I don't think.
That's pretty harsh.
I don't think the Chiefs can use him because of monetary and who they have and all that and who they have to hold on to.
But I would love to see him in the Chief's uniform, but that's not going to happen.
Yeah.
Do the Ravens have any cap room?
I don't know.
I don't think so.
Do the Bills?
The Bills might because I got rid of everybody.
That's true.
The Bills might have some room.
That might be a good fit.
Yeah.
Cooper Cup is being shopped by the Rams.
It wasn't his idea, but I don't even see Cooper Cup coming here.
He did kind of.
We don't have room for him.
No, we don't have room for him.
We have too many younger receivers, though.
I mean, with Worthy and Rice and whoever they pick up in this draft, we don't do it.
We don't do that.
Yeah.
We're grooming the next Tyreek Hill right now, and he's a blossom in front of your eyes.
Yeah.
That would be Xavier Worthy.
Yeah.
If Rice isn't coming back after his legal troubles and we lose Hopkins and Schuster
to free agency, then you can see you signing Cup.
It's going to be for a two-year deal.
You're not going to get the five years or nothing.
Yeah.
This is simply if he wants a ring, he will deal with that.
I've already started hearing rumors that Deandre Hopkins is going to want to go play as a
Jet next year.
We'll see.
If he gets a ring, I can definitely see that.
If he doesn't...
Probably stick around.
Probably stick around, yeah.
Yeah.
But, I mean, do you...
I don't know if he fits in their plans long-term.
Yeah.
I'm not sure how old he is.
I think Smith Schuster, if he wants to go, you let him go again.
But Hopkins, I think you want to hang on to him.
Brown, I think you want to hang on to him.
Yeah, definitely.
I don't know how long their current contracts are, but I think you want to...
I think Hollywood has two more years.
I think they signed him to a three-year, didn't they?
Yeah, yeah.
But Hopkins, I could see him just being on something that finishes out this season that
he's done.
I think that's what it is right now.
Yeah.
And then they'll reevaluate afterwards, and I can see the Chiefs going, hey, man, got
your ring.
We love you, man.
Thanks for your help.
You really helped us out.
How little are you willing to sign for?
Yeah.
And how little are you willing to play?
Yeah.
Because a big chunk of the receiving's already been spoken for.
Yeah.
And then we have Samajay Perine, number 34.
Yeah, yeah.
Cincinnati's throwaway.
He gets on the field here and there, but boy, he makes a difference when he does.
I'll tell you what.
This is why Brett Veach and Andy Reid are so good.
Yeah.
They saw Perine, no one else did.
Cincinnati is like, eh, we're not going to re-sign you.
And there he is, a free agent, and the Chiefs are like, we can use that guy.
No one else did.
And he is a third and fourth down machine.
I hope his jersey sales are going through the roof because he deserves it.
He's one of my favorite players.
Oh yeah, I love him.
I'll tell you what.
Every time he came for training camp, I was like, keep him, keep him, and they wouldn't
keep him.
Yeah, I'm glad they did.
And then, Rogigio.
Rogigio.
Romeo.
Romeo, that's it, yeah.
Yeah.
It's not spelled anything like it.
Yeah, unless you say the M, it's all hee-hee-hee-hee-oh.
Yeah, Romeo.
That guy came from the practice squad.
He's awesome.
Oh yeah.
That guy's spin move is just insane.
I think that that is going to be your Kaderius Tony of this Super Bowl.
Yeah, yeah.
But I mean.
He's got that, on his kick returns and his punt returns, is he doing, I don't know if
he's doing punt, but I think he's doing kick.
I think his career is going to be better than that, though.
But I'm just saying, like, the surprise, people are going to go, where did this guy come from?
Yeah.
We're going to find out, yeah.
Well, I've been noticing on the ones where he doesn't run it back very far, it's like
he was very close to breaking it.
It's like he was moving to the area where he could have broken through.
So his vision and his decision making is excellent.
And they have very little film on him.
Yeah.
Very little.
That's even better.
Yeah, it is.
I'm not so sure if he would have came up, even if Hardman didn't get hurt.
Yeah, because Hardman really wasn't doing a lot.
No, he wasn't.
He was a good guy to grab the ball and just kind of like take a knee.
Yeah.
He's really good at that.
He's not as young as he used to be, and he never was the poor man's Tyree Kill like they
billed him as.
Yeah, yeah.
He wasn't OK with maybe fourth receiver.
Yeah.
He spells your number one and two guys when they're tired.
Yeah, yeah.
He comes in, does a decent job.
He can block a little bit.
He knows the schemes.
But someone like Remiscio, he is like a talent that's unspoken for.
Yeah.
He is someone that's coming up, and he's not nearly as good as he's going to be.
We have a decent special teams coach, so we can take advantage of that.
Yeah.
So I look for Remiscio to continue even after this to do good things.
He's on a rookie contract anyhow, so you know.
Yeah.
We got him for a while.
Yeah.
So all right, and that's the type of things they do like.
Xavier Worthy, they got him for five years.
Yeah.
Rashi Rice, they got him for three more years.
They know this, and then you're, you know.
And then Brown for probably a couple more.
Yeah.
So the thing is, is they have their nucleus of what they see is going to be the next version of the offense.
Yeah.
They have it.
And the offensive line is going to come and go because that's the nature of it.
True, true.
You really hope that you can get a line that stays together for multiple seasons to where they can kind of read each other's mind.
Those days are open.
Yeah, they really are.
Yeah.
Because you have so many situational players that you've got to go more on what's really being said or shown rather than just, oh, yeah, I'm pretty sure this is what it means.
Oops.
Yeah.
Oh, I forgot.
He got subbed out last snap.
This is somebody else.
Yeah.
Yeah, those days I think are gone.
That's all right.
I'm all for seeing more players rotated in and out.
That's going to prolong a lot of careers.
I think it will.
And it'll give careers to some players who are that excellent backup for like 20, 25% of the snaps in the game.
I'd like to see those type of players have a good career.
No, me too.
Me too.
I think it's team this.
I think there's going to be some unlikely heroes besides the regular heroes like Mahomes.
Yeah.
I think Mahomes legs are going to be a big part of this.
True.
He was hobbled last time, but not this time.
No, no.
And even if he gets hobbled, you don't want to do that.
No.
It gets better.
Yes.
It's just like this is going to be the first Super Bowl that if the Eagles get ahead by 10 points, they're going to be afraid.
Yeah.
They're going to be like, oh, shit, we fell into their trap.
We're ahead by 10.
Playing out just like all the other ones.
Yes.
I think I've seen this movie.
You see the win probability, and then it gets down to like 10% for the Chiefs.
Yeah.
And then Mahomes gets to the 20 yard line of the Eagles.
It goes up to 90% because they know they're like, well, this is it.
You motivated him.
Now he's going to do this.
Yeah.
So.
Y'all done poked a bear.
OK.
Do you want to do a score, a final score?
I'm going to stick with 42 to 38.
I'm going to go 40 to 35 the Chiefs.
And the reason it's going to be five points is because they're going to get a late field
goal just to cap it off, and they're going to run off time for this field goal.
And then you're going to see like maybe three seconds left, if any, to do that.
So.
I mean, you're really going to be irritated if towards the end of the game it starts
becoming obvious that they're late, that they're trying to get it to go into overtime.
There was a lot of people saying that about the last one.
Yeah.
38.
Yeah.
Or no, 48.
No, 58.
58.
Yeah.
OK.
Yeah.
Super Bowl 58.
To me, it kind of looked like the defenses were generally better than the offenses.
Yeah.
And that, I mean, and we, I think we kind of knew this going into the game too.
But I can see how someone would think that they're like, hey, let's get it to go into
overtime.
The betting line is going to go berserk.
Yeah.
And not even necessarily at being illegally fixed or managed.
No, no, no.
The coach is playing for overtime.
Yeah.
Yeah, because they're going to play safe.
They don't want to give up the ball.
Yeah.
OK.
Let's see.
Like the, I was thinking about this.
OK.
So, when Francisco won the coin toss, the Chiefs winning odds went to 20 percent.
Where they took the ball first, it went up to 80 percent.
So, that tells you about what they think of Mahomes, even if they say it or not.
That's what they think of him.
That's what the public thinks of him too.
Exactly.
And read.
Because the line basically reflects the way the public bets.
Yeah.
And as soon as they saw, oh, they're getting the ball first.
Mahomes going to have it last.
Everyone likes it.
Hey.
Everyone's driving the state line going south.
If you know, you know.
Yeah, it's like, here, take my phone, run across the road and place this damn bet.
Yeah, I know how many people do that too.
And it is that precise.
North, the state line road, it's a four lane road, four lane highway, kind of a highway.
Yeah.
Thurl way, whatever.
North side is Missouri.
Yeah.
South side is Kansas.
Yeah.
And you're on the north side, it will not let you bet.
You go on the south side, it will let you bet.
And I'm sure somebody's tried to get really precise and try to find a point at which it
doesn't know.
It won't do, yeah.
It'll decide.
It'll just make a decision.
It'll just say, yeah, you're here.
I think if you're on the south side generally in a lane, that's it.
It's like, okay, place your bet.
Or like get out and stand in the median and try to find the exact point at which it doesn't
know what state you're in, but it's going to make a choice.
It'll never say, I don't know.
Yeah.
And also as you get to the further south, like Leewood South, you don't know anyhow
because state line ends and then Kansas road and all that takes over.
Yep.
So, you know, you'd have to be out there on the land to know where Kansas actually officially
starts so you wouldn't know anyhow.
Yeah.
But anyhow.
But you know how your cell phone always automatically adjusts to the time zone?
Oh yeah, yeah, that's right.
So when you step into Kansas, your phone will roll back about 50 years.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
Actually, I think wheat comes on your phone.
Yeah.
Yeah, a little grains of wheat comes out.
Playing in the wind.
Apple pie.
The song Amish Paradise starts playing.
Yes.
All right.
Okay.
I'm saying 4035, Chiefs.
You're saying 42.
What was it?
4238.
All right.
We're really close there.
We both are going for the Chiefs.
I've got a few questions if you want to do this.
Sure.
Okay.
If the Chiefs lose, will they still be considered a dynasty just because they've been there
so many times and they won a majority of them still?
I believe so.
This is the first time that a team that's won two Super Bowls in a row has made it back
to the Super Bowl.
Yeah.
It's never happened before that a team has actually made it back to try to get their
third.
They made it to the championship game many times.
Yeah, but never made it past there.
So this is already groundbreaking that the Chiefs are now the first ones to actually
get to defend the title to get the three in a row.
So I really do think despite all the cries of favoritism and fixing, et cetera, it's
still going to go down as an awesome dynasty right up there with all the others.
I think it already is.
If Holmes, if he retired right now, I forgot the article I was reading, said, or maybe
it was Nick Wright.
I think Nick Wright.
He said, still, you're looking at the second best quarterback ever if he retired right
now.
Yeah.
So he's not even quite 30 yet.
Yeah, that's true.
He's pretty young.
Already surpassed Joe Montana on playoff wins.
Yeah.
Just incredible stats.
Yeah.
I mean, Andy Reid would get there with ass bags with Philadelphia.
He'd get there with ass bags, but he never had that guy to take him over.
He almost beat the Patriots that was getting close there with Terrell Owens and his bad
knee and everything.
Yeah, that's true.
That's true.
Yeah.
I mean, so he's good enough to win without somebody, but you've got to have everything
go perfectly.
Yeah.
So, you know, I mean, maybe the best coach ever, maybe the best quarterback ever.
So this is definitely a dynasty.
Yeah, I think if Andy's already won the Super Bowl with two different teams, and now he
added winning two in a row, and if he adds winning three in a row.
Well, he went to the Super Bowl with Philadelphia.
He didn't win it.
He didn't quite win it.
Oh, that's right.
He got to the Super Bowl with two different teams.
That's right.
There are other teams, but if he wins three in a row.
Well, I mean, he went to the championship game, what, five times, six times over there
in Philadelphia, and I think they were in a row, or most of them were in a row.
He can keep a good thing going.
He's done that here.
So I'm thinking Andy's in there in the top five coaches of all time.
I think so, too.
How about one of the best teams ever?
Do you think they'll go down as that?
Yeah, yeah, at least the defense should be considered, because the defense has been amazing.
Oh, okay.
That's what it's getting ready to go into.
Yeah.
Now, who would be mentioned when 20 years from now all the smoke's cleared, Kansas City's
back to having Matt Cassels?
Yeah.
You know.
On the defense, they'll remember Chris Jones, George Karloff, just from Trent McDuffy.
On the offense, they'll remember Patrick and Travis and...
Tyreek.
Tyreek, yeah.
Probably worthy in rice.
But not necessarily a running back, because we've changed running backs so many times.
But game backs, they're not really keen on...
It's just like they always found someone new.
Damian Williams was pretty much the star of the...
Fuck whatever.
Whatever the Super Bowl that was.
Yeah, that first one against San Francisco.
Yeah, and that was because Cream Hunt was kicked off of the team.
Yeah.
So Damian Williams came in.
He had a 100-yard game in the Super Bowl, over 100 yards.
That's pretty good.
Yeah, it is.
Yeah, that's why I'm thinking of getting remembered.
And then coaching-wise, it's going to be Andy Spags and probably Matt Nagy over Eric Bieneme.
I think so too, because Matt Nagy has the tenure.
Yeah.
You know?
And also, Nagy was there at the inception of the Holtz.
True, true.
He was one of the driving forces.
Says, have him sit behind Alex Smith, have him pick his brain, have him learn everything,
which turned out to be a brilliant move.
Oh, it was.
People didn't like it at the time, and the biggest criticism was this.
When they went to the playoff game...
Playoff?
...that they lost with Alex Smith, I forgot who it was.
Probably against the Patriots, I forgot who.
Or it could have been even maybe an Andrew Luck Indianapolis, a new Crappalus or something.
But whoever it was, I forgot.
That people wanted him to put in Mahomes.
Oh, bad idea.
No, I know, and Reed was like, no, no, no, no, sink or swim, this is our guy.
Alex Smith is going to be traded.
He knows this.
He's good with it.
He's good with teaching the youngster.
So Matt Nagy will be known as one of the driving forces on that, and also picking Mahomes.
So Matt Nagy will be there.
Eric Bieneme has kind of ruined his legacy anyhow.
Yeah, I think so.
I don't know what's going on with him.
I know he's had some problems with the law and some other allegations and stuff, but still...
I don't know what it is about his interviews that are so bad that nobody really considers him after the interview.
They don't call him back.
What I've heard players say about him, they're kind of dancing around the issue,
but basically what they're saying is he's very outspoken.
He speaks roughly and coarsely.
I remember that, yeah.
Lots of cuss words.
And he can get really offensive and mean in his effort to drive you to what he thinks he needs out of you.
You're right. Yeah, you know what? I'd heard that too.
Yeah. And he didn't really fit in with the Washington Commanders because all the players there were like,
who the hell is this guy to come and call me a wimp?
So I think it comes through in his interviews that he's that really tough, outspoken, I'm going to offend you and your family.
He didn't last in college either.
So when I heard he'd been getting hired for college, I was like raising an eyebrow right then going,
wait a minute, this guy already has PR problems and now you're going to put him in a college?
Where there's going to be people who are young and can get really destroyed by an angry coach and their parents who use the university.
Yeah, one year now he's in Chicago.
Yeah, as a running backs or a line coach, something like that.
A running back, I think. Here's a running back.
So anyhow, I mean, he's still got a career, but not like anyone thought it was going to be.
Matt Nagy will actually have that, Brett Veach. I don't even think John Dorsey is going to be mentioned in it.
Probably not.
Because he actually was a GM when we drafted him.
Yeah.
Brett Veach was the assistant, but the word was, is Brett Veach is the one that kept sending Andy Reid tapes to my home school.
You've got to check this guy out. And then finally Andy Reid was, I forgot where I read it at, it might have been the star when they used to give your stuff for free because I won't pay for their garbage.
And finally Andy Reid sent a message back going, OK, we're going to get him if we can.
And I think that alerted everyone else in the organization that Brett Veach was maybe a little more on the ball than Dorsey.
So maybe we ought to move him into that position.
So when Dorsey's contract was up, they let him go.
And then they moved Veach in when Dorsey went to Atlanta maybe, like Piolli did or something.
I think so.
The Atlanta sounds right.
Yeah. So I think Matt Nagy, John Dorsey, or not John Dorsey.
Brett Veach.
Yeah. Matt Nagy and Brett Veach, Andy Reid. I think all of these guys are going to be mentioned in that Spagnolo, of course.
They're all going to be known as a legacy of this great team or the greatest team ever.
Ironically, I don't think the owner is going to get mentioned because he didn't do anything different.
Clark Hatton.
Clark and Lamar before him. They were trying to do this all along.
It's just now working out for them. But it wasn't like they had a crap owner and then suddenly got a good one.
This has been the owner we've had all along. They've just been doing it right for so long.
Well, I've got to give Clark this, whether he ever gets credit or not, he is the one that targeted Reid.
As soon as he was let go in Philadelphia, there was rumor and he laid low in the brush.
He already knew they had a contact that knew each other and that was Dick Vermeel.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah. And then my understanding of it was, which I read was, he called up Dick Vermeel and he said,
Hey, do you think Andy Reid would be interested in this job?
And he said, if he isn't, he will be when I get done talking to him.
And then after they approached Andy Reid, he's going to come in for an interview.
Andy Reid called Vermeel and said, Hey, what do you think of Kansas City?
And Vermeel said, go. Do it.
And then it was done. He signed as soon as he got here.
And Dick Vermeel was treated very well here. He's still very reverent. People love him. He's a good guy.
Now all he does is make wine. He lives over in Hapa Valley and makes wine. God bless him.
I think that's great. He's probably 85 and still out there squishing grapes.
Yeah. So anyhow, he just, I think Vermeel's biggest issue was he had Peterson to deal with.
And Peterson was a guy that could not spot the quarterback ever.
And another big failing of Vermeel is he wouldn't fire his assistant coaches and coordinators,
even when they were shown to be utterly incompetent. Who was the defensive coordinator?
Bruce somebody? Yeah.
Everyone knew for months that this guy was awful, needed to be let go. We were 30 seconds in every category.
He was so loyal. He was like, Oh, no, no, let me get in there and talk to him.
Even that coach called Vermeel and said, Coach, you got to let me resign.
And Dick's like, Nope, no, no, won't hear of it. No, no, you're staying.
He had to talk Vermeel into letting him resign.
He's the one that got Holliday from Green Bay, wanted him and he was horrible.
Yeah. Was it Vani? Vani Holliday. Vani Holliday. Yeah.
And who was the other rusher he got? They're like the two ass bags NFL that were propped up by other defensive.
Oh, yeah. Can't remember. But anyhow, when they got here, they were alone.
And it was like, that guy? Yeah. So anyhow.
All right. Andy Reid.
Top 10? Yeah. Top three?
If he wins the third one, yeah. OK. If he doesn't, top five.
OK, if he wins the third one, top two? Yeah. Yeah.
What if he wins a third one and then wins another one or two later down the road or in consecutively?
Number one? I think so. That's probably what's going to take the bump Belichick out.
I think you get a three-peat and then one more and he will be known as the best.
And this is body of work. Yeah. Because Belichick did. He went to a wild card in Cleveland.
Yeah. Well, I forgot who the quarterback was and they promptly lost and went out.
Andy Reid did it over there. He went to the championship game so many times. A lot of were at home.
He coached teams up so well that I think it actually, the three-peat and one more and he will be known.
Probably for real, real quarter, real football guys. Yeah.
Not these guys that say they know anything. But people who really know something about football, they're going to go, this guy's the best.
And it's proven by his body of work. Yeah. Yeah.
And we got to remember that Belichick had stretches where they bombed out in the playoffs. Yes.
And at one point it was like over ten years before they got back to get into the Super Bowl.
I got a question for you. Yeah. Do you believe the report that Tom Brady reached out to Belichick
after he went to North Carolina and wanted him to like rip up the contract and come to the Raiders?
And this is after Brady got more power and say so with the Raiders?
I really don't think it's true. I think that's something that was floated out there to try to see what people's reaction was going to be in case they wanted to do something like that.
That's kind of what I think too. I think if they were serious about it they would have gotten it.
Yeah. It was like a dress rehearsal to see how it worked.
You know, I mean how, what, how better would that have been set up for Belichick? Yeah.
Okay. You're in the same division as Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes. Yeah.
If you could get by on them you would be like oh my god this guy is the wizard.
Yeah, yeah. That was, it would definitely would have been a make or break situation for them.
And then you have the guy picking with you. You have the minority owner picking with you and going hey Bill come here.
Let's look at tape on this guy and what do you think?
You know I think Brady would probably be better at picking out quarterbacks for to draft than Elway was.
I think so too. Elway as general manager just, he really whiffed on a lot of quarterbacks.
Oh I know. He was horrible at it. So I think, you know, and was Elway a minority owner in the Broncos?
I think he was. I think he had some ownership. And also general manager too.
Yeah and he was GM. So then when he lost his GM job to what John Lynch I think it was? John Lynch, yeah.
I think as a minority owner of the team he was still able to have some influence.
He was like, what they say, they kick him upstairs to an office where he really can't fuck anything up.
Yeah that's what they say. It's like we still love you.
So Brady's in that position. You can't do our picks anymore.
Yeah I mean the Raiders have a general manager. So I could see Brady not pulling the strings from behind the scenes but definitely having a big influence.
And I think he can anyhow. I mean because of his contract with Fox I think that he can take a back seat and suggest stuff.
But he can't be the main guy going, yeah we decided to get this guy. He's just going to be like, yeah I guess they decided to go that way.
Think about it from the general manager's perspective. If you get Tom Brady and Bill Belichick in your organization they're going to out vote you every single time.
That's right.
You're pretty much giving up control of the team to those two.
You know what? And you get a lot of people not wanting that job.
They'll be like, those guys are going to override me every time. So I'm not going to do it.
It's like when Peter Criss left Kiss, he sold out to the other guys. And then they hired just a hired drummer.
Eric Carr.
Yeah so at that point there were only three owners of Kiss and Gene and Paul could out vote Ace any time they wanted.
Yeah and Ace was really pissed off about that too because him and Peter always voted the same. And Paul and Gene always voted the same.
Yeah so that's going to be the Raiders general manager's like Tom and Bill. It's whatever they say is going to happen anyway.
Yeah you'd just be like alright fuck it.
So alright. People bitch about the same team going in over and over and we know it's the Chiefs. But the Raiding say otherwise. Why is this?
Is this the Taylor Swift, Travis Kelsey effect? Or is this actual football enthusiasts watching it and it's a small minority of people causing all the noise?
Well the majority of people watching the Super Bowl are not really hardcore football fans. Because it's an entertainment event more than anything else.
So the ratings are going to be huge even if they put in like the Carolina Panthers and the Los Angeles Chargers.
True.
As long as they had somebody super popular doing the halftime show about a billion people would probably tune in.
Yeah.
The people complaining are the ones that want more variety in the Super Bowl. That's the ones who watch the Super Bowl over and over for the game.
You're right.
Yeah so they're the ones complaining. But as long as the ratings are up NFL is just going to laugh at us.
You're right. Yeah. They're going to be like say what you want we're going this direction and that's all there is to it.
They're going to look at this and say aren't you cute.
Yeah they're wiping their ass with $1000 bills. Is there $1000 anymore? I don't think there is.
I think there is actually.
I think there is but whether they print any or not is out of the question.
I don't know. Yeah they're wiping their ass with $1000 bills and going okay.
Yeah.
Alright fine. You have a right to your opinion we're doing this.
Okay let's see I think that's pretty much all I have with the questions. You have some you want to get into.
Yeah. Let's see I think I already mentioned all these things but some stories I picked up.
One I forgot to print off. Mike Vrabel new head coach at New England Patriots.
There has been a very popular assistant coach there and if my printer had printed off the story I would know his name.
Vrabel went in and just dumped it which didn't set well with the players and the fan base especially.
But as you said that's what you hire Vrabel to do is come in and put his guys in there.
But then he installed this guy as wide receivers coach and again I don't remember the guys name.
But the general reaction is are you nuts because this guy has failed everywhere he's gone.
And he's never been a wide receivers coach in his life.
What position did Vrabel play?
Linebacker.
Linebacker. Okay well that rules that out. I was thinking that he just wanted a figurehead there and he was going to do all the decisions.
But he's not really an offensive coach.
No he isn't he's a defensive guy that's what I thought.
So the two head scratchers is you fired the really popular guy who was doing a really good job.
A lot of players said this guy is the reason we had these good plays.
And then you bring in a guy that nobody's heard of and nobody wants and can't even do the job that you're hiring for.
It's like did he owe him money? Is he being blackmailed? Why the hell would you hire this guy?
Yeah that's a good point I don't know.
And so far Vrabel is not saying anything about it. Isn't that weird?
Yeah it is weird because Vrabel had success.
He had success for a while in Tennessee.
Yeah when Tannehill left then went into success when he had Mariota he couldn't do anything.
He needed at least a serviceable quarterback if not a decent one to do anything.
But that's probably true with most people.
Yeah man Mariota really really untapped potential there. I mean he could have been so much better.
Oh I know and I think it was how he started out too.
He was put in yanked out, put in yanked out, put in yanked out, banished.
Oh no no no everyone else is hurt come on back. He was just fucked with constantly.
I think if he could have been nurtured better and allowed to grow better and maybe went behind a better veteran quarterback.
He might have been quite a bit better but now he just poofed. Did he come from Oregon?
I think so yeah.
But another thing that really hampered his career is he was featured on the Amazon Prime show called quarterbacks.
Yes. That featured I think it was Mahomes that was the season.
He didn't come off very well.
No no he was playing whatever team he was playing for.
Atlanta maybe?
I think it was Atlanta yeah.
But he was getting injured. I mean he wasn't doing all that well and he had this nagging injury but he was able to play.
And at a certain point late in the season he realized he probably wasn't going to start anymore so he quit on the team.
He said well I'm just going to go have this surgery that I can do in the offseason but I'm just going to do it now because you're not going to play me anyway.
So at that point this team didn't have a backup quarterback and they had to go scramble and get one.
I wasn't real high with them at first but then after I saw that I was like no this is not a guy you want on your team.
Yeah because that show came out right after the season ended and everybody saw exactly what he did.
By that time he'd already hooked on with somebody else I think Tennessee.
Yeah and now he's gone.
Yeah because nobody wants him.
No the word is out about him. He let his true nature come out and people are like no we don't want that on our team and I can't blame him.
It's like that quarterback for Colts Richardson last season after a certain play he took himself out of the game.
He's like I'm tired I ran around a bunch. I want to go out.
And he insisted. The coach is like no you're the starting quarterback go back in. He's like nah I'm tired.
Would Mahomes or Josh Allen do that? No they'd be fighting someone to get back in. They're like let me back in.
Mahomes jumped around on one leg in order to stay in the game and Richardson's like yeah I'm tired I ran a few feet.
I'll tell you what we all like Josh Allen we agreed with that right? Yeah.
Yeah he's a good guy and he's probably the second best quarterback and if he can get to a Super Bowl or something he could probably go down as one of the best ever.
Really talented guy. So I like what he said afterwards. He said man he goes I wake myself up at night and I think I want plays back that I did.
You see he didn't blame the refs. He was like no no no let's see what did he say? He said after that play we had 13 minutes left and we still couldn't get it done.
Yeah yeah like before the game McDermott was telling the team you're not going to get the calls. Yeah.
So just plan on that and act accordingly and Josh Allen said we did and we still lost the game that's on us.
Yeah and also McDermott wasn't being a smart ass. No. He wasn't saying he's a really good coach. He wasn't saying hey they're going to root for the Chiefs so watch out.
He was saying don't bet on it and I'm pretty sure Reid said the same thing. If you got to wait on the call then you're just not doing it so forget it.
Yeah I would really like to see the players stop calling for a penalty flag right after this. It's getting worse.
Like pretending to throw the flag. That is borderline unsportsmanlike conduct. They might start calling it you watch. To start lobbying for a flag.
Well the more that you see a flag come up after that is the more you're going to see people starting to go or actually officials starting to go you know I'm getting tired of this question me.
I'm going to start calling unsportsmanlike when they do that. I can see that happening really easily.
I mean go up to the official and ask him you know seriously that's not a flag when you did blah blah.
But to lobby in front of the entire crowd and everybody watching on TV that's unsportsmanlike. I really don't like it.
I would go to him personally and go hey listen you know I know everything is a bang bang play and everything but can you please look it over a little bit because I really do think I was fouled blatantly.
Let's set aside the part of our culture that says do whatever it takes to get more than you deserve and just say alright the play is going to happen and I don't need to be trying to bring all this pressure and attention to myself to try to get a flag that I guess I don't deserve.
And then I would say something like okay if you look at it and you still determine it's the same then I respect that but I just would like you to look at it again.
Yeah. Yeah I think that's the way to do it. You don't just start going do the flag.
Yeah. And look the Chiefs are just as guilty as anybody.
Yeah. Imagine if all 11 players on one side just all started doing the throw the flag motion.
I want to do it when there's no play.
Do it on the coin toss.
Yeah.
I'm surprised someone did do that on San Francisco last year on overtime.
It's like hey I want to challenge that play. What play?
The coin flip. My guy's an idiot.
Alright.
I've learned that the Washington commanders are going to stay the Washington commanders.
Yeah.
They're having a little bit of success. Why change it?
Exactly. Back in June the owner was like yeah you know maybe we'll be open to changing our point at some time.
I heard they're going to be the dead skins but then they drafted a hot center and now they're not.
Yeah but on Monday in a press conference he said yeah Rick Commander's name is here to stay.
Not Watson Daniels.
Daniels yeah.
Yeah.
So yeah I mean you've got people out there buying Commander's jerseys and if you tell them that Commander's name is here to stay they'll buy more.
If you tell them we're changing the jersey in a couple years maybe then they're not going to buy.
Yeah.
That is a smart move. Keep the name that's working for you.
It is and also I talked to several people about this at No Football and they said the same thing.
Daniels did not quit on that game. He kept throwing that ball up there. He didn't care if his interceptor or not.
Mahomes would have done the same thing.
Yeah.
And I go back to this. The two leading interceptions and the two quarterbacks leading in interceptions the last 10 years and also or actually let's say 8 years
and also the most touchdowns leaders are Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes.
Yeah because they take chances.
It's the Babe Ruth effect. Babe Ruth was a home run king for a long time. He is also the strikeout leader.
So if you don't take chances like Caleb Williams needs to learn this.
Throw that interception. Just get the ball down there.
Yeah and when you throw the interception dust yourself off. Forget about it and keep going and know you're going to throw another one and don't worry about it.
Yeah you're going to throw another one and that's the way it is but you're also going to throw a couple of touchdowns in between.
Yeah. I mean throwing excessive interceptions will get a quarterback bench.
You can be James Winston. You can not be James Winston or even Jared Goff.
But you know what gets you benched even faster is being timid and unsure. They're going to yank you so fast.
I call that black ledging.
Yes.
Todd Blackledge is a great fucking example of that.
Yeah and it's not his fault. He got ruined by being drafted here.
Yeah yeah he didn't have an offensive line. The offensive coordinator was a boob. The coach was a boob and above all Jack Stedman was a boob.
Oh God. Didn't Blackledge come from Penn State?
Yes. He was picked above. Was it Marino, Elway and somebody else?
He was definitely picked above Marino.
And I think it might have been Elway too or maybe that was Fuller that was picked above Elway. I don't know.
But anyhow they had a history of just picking the wrong guy.
Yeah.
Early early in the first round.
Yeah. Well Stedman admitted that he was running the team as a business to make money and that was it.
They didn't care about winning. They didn't care about growing the brand.
And a lot of teams in the NFL at that time were getting away with that.
Yeah.
That doesn't fly now.
No.
Thank God.
It has become such a league that if you don't sell jerseys and everything it's for what have you done for me right now.
Yeah. The other owners will start putting pressure on you.
Case in point the Patriots. They had their new guy in there for one year and this is after they fired the guy right after Belichick.
Yeah.
Okay. Had him in there for one year but they have so much pressure they're like no no no we got to get Frable.
Mike Frable is out there. He's a hometown favorite and we think he can change the franchise
because there's no tolerance for two or three losing seasons in a row.
Yeah. It's sad because towards the end of the season everyone was saying these Patriots are getting better.
They were getting better. I like watching them.
They're improving. They're getting it. Next year they're going to be a force to look back and work.
Drake May was looking much better.
Yeah. But they just they had their guy of Raible that they wanted as soon as they knew he was available. Yeah. It's sad.
Yeah. You know I always heard that one. Be careful what you want. Yeah. Or be careful when you get it. Yeah.
This could be that deal. We'll see.
I did see that there is there at least one article I saw popped up in my feed about a lot of the players in the NFL are getting very unhappy about the lack of hiring of black coaches.
Yeah. Yeah. They're starting to. I forgot the name of the rule. The Rooney Rule. The Rooney Rule.
Yeah. They're talking about that they need to bring that back because it shouldn't have went away though. It should have still been there.
I know. Apparently it's still there. It's just they got real lacks on.
Well now they're choosing love so they're not worried about it.
Yeah. That's right. But you know it's.
Listen. It shows you they never meant it.
Yeah. I think back then they kind of sort of meant it. But now it's you know is this going to make us money or cost us money. And that's how they decide.
Yeah. The court of popular opinion told them that they needed to do it this way. Yeah. And now suddenly the all these other things have went into play.
Yeah. So now it's not take it wasn't taken to the top the front burner. It wasn't taken that at all.
I think they've learned that the people watching football and the people betting on football really don't care about diversity.
No I bet you they don't either. They just want their team to win. Yeah.
But I'll also say this. With it going about it naturally there's more black coaches in the NFL than ever before which I'm proud to say because a lot of them are very good coaches.
Yeah. And you know we come a long way from when they wouldn't let Doug Williams play. Yeah.
They said he wasn't smart enough or some bullshit. He got interviewed at the Super Bowl. How long have you been a black quarterback?
God what fucking idiots we were back then.
And who that asshole was on TV.
Talking about insecure motherfuckers. Yeah.
Wasn't Jimmy the Greek was saying that the black athletes don't have the mental capacity to be quarterbacks.
Yeah. Yeah. Basically. Because it requires intelligence. Yeah they were like. I had applied head coaching was going to be the same way.
Damn his ass got yanked right away. Yes it did and it deserved to the fucking racist.
But imagine a time where he felt perfectly safe doing that on air. He didn't think anything was going to go wrong.
Howard Cosell and some of his favorite statements. Oh my God. Yeah. The famous run monkey run. Oh yeah.
What the fuck. And he got away with it. He did. He did.
Man there's such a different time. But then again I mean he did.
I don't think he met in that context honestly because he did love black athletes.
He was in love with Muhammad Ali. But on the other hand you got to watch what you're saying.
Be mindful of what's coming out of your mouth given the current change in the etiquette. I think an old Jewish guy.
He was a lawyer. Yeah he's a lawyer. I think it just never occurred to him what it might have sounded like. Yeah I think so.
Yeah so anyhow I mean Jimmy the great racist. Howard Cosell I'm not so sure.
He's like one of those casual armchair racists. He was never going to go march in a march.
But he was going to say crap in front of everybody. Yeah yeah.
Well you know what I mean whenever you go into intent and what the heart meant you can't really prove it anyhow.
So who knows. So anyhow you know he could have put up a ruse loving Ali and all those guys. But he really secretly didn't.
Who knows. Yeah anyhow go ahead.
Remember when Joe Burroughs house got broken into when he was here losing to the Chiefs. Yeah yeah yeah.
And his girlfriend was there. How does that work?
Well it turned out that he had broken up with the one before and was going with this one.
And they knew but we didn't know that he changed girlfriends so we all expected this to be a big deal.
And everybody was giving him shit one day and he goes no no that is my girlfriend.
We're going to fuck alone. But the deal is here's what I'm saying.
How's his girlfriend be home and that fucking house gets broken into and burglarized.
How does that happen? Yeah well there was an arrest Tuesday in New York's Diamond District that was linked to that burglary.
And they said it's a group that has been targeted homes across the country.
Burrow theft was specifically mentioned. Was Mahomes and Kelsey part of that?
Ummm it doesn't say. It makes me wonder I've heard very little about that.
Yeah yeah and it could be that the security where they live is so tight that they were just crossed off the list.
It could be. But two men, Dmitry Nazhinsky and Juan Villar.
Guilty. Guilty.
Yeah. Felling the indictment on conspiracy to receive stolen property and receiving stolen property.
Allegedly. Apparently these men they're investigating whether they have ties to a group that was recently arrested in connection with the burrow burglary.
And they say that these two guys Nazhinsky and Villar have been linked by evidence to the four Chilean nationals who arrested last month in the South American ring.
To come up here and rob the homes of rich people.
Wow.
Yeah and Nazhinsky and Villar were the fences. They take the stolen property and sell it.
That would make sense though you know they know they're at a football game. They know they're there.
Yeah you can see them on TV. It's like their house.
Oh I know how Burrow's girlfriend was there and it got burglarized.
Must have been asleep.
I guess.
Must have been asleep.
Okay.
This group travels around the US committing burglaries targeting wealthier neighborhoods, jewelry vendors.
They steal the luxury accessories.
And then these two that were recently arrested provide the market to sell them.
Let's see searches conducted in New York and New Jersey yielded large quantities of suspected stolen property included high end watches and handbags,
wine, sports memorabilia, jewelry, artwork and burglary tools.
The defendants created an illicit market and fueled demand for burglaries to our South American theft groups
by purchasing the watches and other luxury items and then reselling them in the New York City store.
Wow.
So then it just repeats the other part of that.
But there is a vast and thriving market for people who will buy stuff knowing it's stolen,
knowing they can never display it and tell their friends about it, but they want it.
And they don't care that it's stolen. So there are thieves out there.
It's like the movie Gone in 60 Seconds where you have a list of the cars that they need to go steal.
They get lists of somebody's willing to spend X amount of money on whatever watch you can get from Nolan Ryan's house.
That kind of thing. So somebody will go to it.
So this is apparently part of that ring is not quite on demand theft, but very close to it.
Yeah, very close to it.
Yeah, so there's probably a website that you log on to and say, here's the things I'm looking for.
I'll buy any kind of sports memorabilia from these athletes.
I'll buy any kind of clothing from this actress, any kind of blah blah.
Makes sense.
People look at those lists and say, I know where I can get that and it's not such a hard job. I'm going to go steal that.
I know when they're busy.
Yeah. So all the things that the Internet and AI does for people like us, it's also doing for the criminals in the scammers.
It's helping them just as much as it helps us.
Well, it's just like every year, the top thieves of that year get job offers.
Oh, yeah.
Isn't that funny?
And for a lot of them, that's why they're doing it.
Yeah, yeah. To prove that they know this much about it.
Then someone goes, we need to hire that guy to guard against what he's doing because everyone else is now.
It's like a guy breaks into your house and you're like, hey, look, I'm not going to prosecute.
How did you get in? How did you do that? OK. Hey, would you like to work for me?
Yeah. There was a character on a TV show that worked for a pharmaceutical company.
And she said, you know, let's go out to celebrate.
You know, my stock options just got a big bump.
Today, my company invented and then invented the cure for restless eye syndrome.
Yes.
And that pretty much tells it.
I always say the cure to restless leg syndrome is run around the block four times.
Yeah, I found it works to get my legs warm.
Yeah, yeah.
But this restless eye syndrome.
I'm trying to go to sleep, but my eyes keep moving.
Oh, gosh. There was some pill ad that I saw on TV.
And the ailment they were trying to fix was something I didn't even consider to be an.
I can remember what it was, but it was like, you know, maybe having a hangnail or, you know,
was something stupid like that. Having too many white marks on your fingernails.
And then they had this drug for it with all these hideous side effects.
OK, this is a straight up cash grab. We can tell now.
And also, if they know something has horrible side effects, they do a little research and they go,
well, how much are we going to make putting this out and paying off the lawsuits?
How much are we going to do by not putting this out and no lawsuits?
And then if the if the money is over, yeah, by just putting it out and dealing with lawsuits, they do it.
Like, yeah, we estimate that 400 people are going to die.
Each one of them are going to get two point two million with their with their fees, you know,
their attorney fees and all that. And they're like, OK, but if you put this out,
you're still going to make 10 million. Yeah. OK, put it out.
And it's also interesting to know that when they talk about these prescription drugs
being cheaper in other countries, that is partially subsidized by us paying way too much.
That's right. Yeah. So the fact that we're paying too much is helping the people in the other countries
get cheaper drugs because they know the companies can gouge us.
And when they say, well, it's for research. No, they spend 19 times more on advertising
than they spend on research. Yeah. So that's what we're paying for is their advertising.
Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's true. I think there's a few more CEOs need to have a stern talking to.
You know, if a little bit unrelated, but if I was a ruffer right now, I would go up to people
and go, you guys are hypocrites. Yeah. You get it? Yeah. You know, wait. OK.
Say it again. OK. If if I was a ruffer, most of them come from south of the border, right?
Yeah. Probably right. I mean, because they're not afraid of hard work where a lot of Americans are.
I would go to people. You guys are hypocrites. Now you want me out. Yeah.
Roof your fucking house. And now you want me out. Yeah. I've seen a similar mean.
The word the name Margaret. Yeah. I forgot it was a meme. I'm sorry. I forgot to say that.
A price out. OK. Anyhow. But you know how we took people who've used the name Karen for an
entitled yes, noxious. It's being replaced by the name Margaret in a lot of things. Oh, it is. Yeah.
Yeah. So the meme was. So Margaret, you don't know who's going to pick your blueberries for you.
How about your unemployed blue haired, tick tock addicted son living in your basement?
Oh, like that mean better. Yeah. But the meme that I saw, you got to see the look on the guy's face
and the guy that had the roofing done. Anyhow, just look it up. Just Google it. Yeah. Anyhow.
But yeah, a lot of people left in advance. It's like we're not sticking around to see if we get deported.
We're just leaving. Yeah, they're just leaving. Yeah. Yeah. It's going to be interesting to see how
America reacts when the well underpaid labor that everyone's been exploiting just decides to leave.
Yeah, they all left. Or the government kicks them out. It's like, OK, who's going to do this?
A lot of them just said, you know what, we're not going to do it anymore. Fuck you. You guys just aren't going to have it.
We'll go back there and find something to do. We're not going to do it here because you guys are like turning their back on us.
The thing I say is I want to see a system where we get people in here. OK. You see what I mean?
So, OK, you kicked out people that weren't supposed to be here. All right. OK, that's done. We're going on right now.
Now, how do you determine who gets to come back in? Because we do need immigrants.
We need people to come over here and work. We have demonstrated this time and time again.
So how do you do that now? Man, I don't see how you construct any kind of restrictions to immigration without sounding racist.
I know. It just can't be done. I just don't either. You have an open border and everyone can come in
and then you bar them based on like criminal record or whether they're a psychopath or something like that.
But to say, you know, OK, what country are you coming from? We're only going to let in X number of people from your country this year.
How is that anything but racist? I know. You just you can't. I don't know how they're going to do it.
I don't have a solution. I don't either. No, I know. But if every border across the entire planet was open, then it would be a big deal.
I mean, before when they let people come over, I was definitely racist. Yeah. Oh, the Irish. OK, what do they do?
Oh, they can build this. I mean, the Chinese. Oh, they build railroads. You know, anybody that they needed.
They figured out who was good at that and they brought them over. And that was the reason for the big influx of immigrants is
because all these industrial barons had all these factories and all these contracts and stuff to make. But they needed workers.
Yeah. And there weren't enough workers in this country yet.
So they just pretended like they were being nice to the people, the rest of the world.
Oh, come over here and have a better life. But really, that is come over here because we need cheap labor. Yeah.
And also, I got something else for you to think about. Yeah. How much of the economy do you think of EBT fuels?
Wow. I would say it's a good chunk. Yeah. I'm sure we don't even know the real numbers.
No, we wouldn't know. Yeah. But now you're not going to get a lot of that going into the stores.
So is that going to hurt the stores? I think so. Yeah. Their business is going to be down a certain percentage because of it.
You know, pretty much the whole rest of the world you go to into store and they're out of stuff occasionally. Yeah.
We're so we're so hampered here for never having that. But when when a store is out of something, we freak out or we even think a store is going to run out of something.
Toilet paper. Yeah. Toilet paper, bottled water, whatever. Yeah.
For the rest of the world, it's like, yeah, shortages come and go. Yeah. We just deal with it. We'll just deal with it.
But we've been brought up and breastfed on on demand. You want it, you get it right now as long as you pay enough. Right now. Yeah.
If that fails to appear, then there are going to be a number of people who just won't be able to handle it. Yeah.
No, you're right. It's going to be interesting to see. But we kind of got off subject. But anyhow. Yeah.
Let's talk about Justin Tucker. Oh, yeah. That piece of crap. Yes. All right.
Justin Tucker, Raven's kicker, has been accused of inappropriate behavior by at least three more massage therapists.
That means he stuck his peepee out when he's getting rubbed down. He's doing a Deshaun Watson. Yes. He's being a Deshaun Watson.
Yeah. He pulls his peepee out and says, hey, this needs massage, too. And then they go, that's not what they pay me for, idiot.
So on Sunday, three additional therapists came forward and have accused him of inappropriate behavior during massage sessions.
These are similar to those made by six massage therapists in an article published by the Banner on Thursday.
Per the Banner, the incidents allegedly took place between 2012 and 2016. So they've had these covered up all this time.
Baltimore Ravens knew he was this scumbag, and they kept it on him on the team. Well, now he's not now he's not hitting field goals.
Yeah. Now that he's no longer useful to the team. Now they're letting us see what kind of person he's always been. Yeah.
Thanks, Baltimore Ravens. Yeah. Anyway, so Tucker, of course, says this is all false. That's what he's supposed to say.
So, of course, I don't believe him. I don't believe him either.
One therapist who worked at a luxury spa, the QG in downtown Baltimore, produced what she said was an internal report regarding interactions with Tucker in 2015,
stating in the report that she no longer felt safe or comfortable working with him. According to the Banner, the report was signed and dated by an individual, the therapist said was her supervisor.
The owner of the spa said through the attorney that he was unaware of any complaints made against Tucker. So, of course, he's going to pretend that he never knew. Yeah.
So he's not implicated in the cover up. Two former employees of the same spa also accused Tucker of inappropriate behavior.
According to the article, the attorney who specializes in sexual abuse and harassment cases representing the six massage therapists, who let Tucker was inappropriate with all of them.
So they've all got the same lawyer. They're all coordinating. And we're learning that he's been this way for 12 years, at least. Yeah.
And it's just been hidden from us. So while Deshaun Watson was getting kicked around and raked over the coals, Justin Tucker was like, thank God the cover up's working. Yeah.
And I still say the reason it's coming out now is because he's not effective. And how many more of the NFL players that we're told are awesome and great guys are like Justin Tucker and they're just not letting us know it yet.
It's like Subway hanging on to Jared Vogel until they could detach. They knew he was a pedophile. Yeah, they knew he was. Yeah. And they're like, OK, we can't say this. We can't.
Somehow we got to get away from him before this all comes out. Yeah. That's what the Ravens are doing. Yeah. How many more of them are out there? I'd say a lot. Yeah.
I'm glad I didn't have any daughters because I'd be so worried about them running into guys like this.
The sad thing is this is two players. I wonder how many other times it went on. It's never going to be reported. It's done with a long time ago. Yeah. And is this a trend? Massage therapists are getting targeted?
I don't understand. Yeah, I don't know. The only thing I can think of is they think, oh, I'm a superstar athlete. You ought to be more than happy to go extra for me. And then when they don't, they're like, well, I'm Justin Tucker. How come you won't do that?
Yeah, I can see that. Yeah. Yeah. You know, well, maybe I went to school for a long time not to fucking do that. You think maybe someone like Gene Simmons would probably have that kind of attitude towards women as well? Yes. Not saying him specifically.
Allegedly. Allegedly. Because Kiss likes to sue people. Yes. And also, he changed his tune. When that became misogynistic behavior, you never heard him talk about it anymore. Before that, he had a list and Polaroids and everything.
In fact, I remember there's at least one athlete who had been bragging about the number of women he'd slept with. And it was like in the multiple hundreds. And then when public sentiment turned against him, he said, oh, yeah, well, I exaggerated. That was all for a fact.
Yeah. And yeah. We never know what to believe from it. Yeah, we know. They're just going to say what their publicist says for them to say.
Yeah, they feed them all this stuff. So anyhow.
Anyhow, let's see. You got any more questions? Go ahead.
That was pretty much ahead on the football side of it. Oh, I also have the stuff about if Drew Bledsoe had not gotten injured and Tom Brady had never gone in for him.
Then imagine a year or two later, Brady was being traded by the Patriots. Who would he have gone to? The Chiefs.
Well, I came up with a list of some people who had questionable quarterback play. OK.
In 2002, Seattle had Matt Hasselbeck and he had dismal numbers. Pittsburgh had Tommy Maddox. Pittsburgh definitely had so dismal. Yeah.
Cleveland had Tim Couch. Utter failure. Cleveland wouldn't have been smart enough to get him. No, they wouldn't have been smart enough.
Detroit had Joey Harrington. Remember him? You know, I can't remember who was running Detroit, so I can't really say. Yeah.
He was. He always struck me as he looked like he was still a high school quarterback running around on the field. Yeah.
Chicago had some guy named Jim Miller. Who? I don't remember that at all.
Dallas had Chad Hutchinson. I vaguely remember. I do a little bit. Yeah. But all these, all these I'm mentioning had pretty poor, pretty poor seasons in 2002.
Baltimore had Chris Redmond. Remember? Oh yeah, I remember him. Yeah.
So those were some options in 2002 that Brady could have gone to. In 2003, if he'd held on another year, Dallas instead of Chad Hutchinson, now they had Quincy Carter. Oh God, yeah.
Cleveland had Kelly Holcomb. He bounced around the league everywhere. Pittsburgh still had Tommy Maddox. Atlanta had Doug Johnson.
I remember Doug Johnson as being this kind of big, bland, kind of nothing guy. Yeah, he was. He couldn't really throw the football that well. Yeah. He couldn't scramble. He was just nothing really. Yeah.
Yeah. He walks in, he walks in front of you and you already forgot what he looks like. Yeah.
Cleveland still had Tim Couch. Baltimore had Anthony Wright. Who I really don't remember. I don't remember him at all. But they replaced Chris Redmond with Anthony Wright. Yeah. Okay.
And the Jets had Vinnie Testaverde. Imagine the Jets. Of course, they wouldn't have traded Testaverde. They wouldn't have traded Testaverde. Who did the Chiefs have?
In 2002 and 2003. I didn't go down the list far enough, but I think it was Trent Green. Okay, they wouldn't have been interested then. Yeah.
But from the 2000 list, I think Pittsburgh, who was suffering through Tommy Maddox, that definitely would have been a good spot. And also Mike Tomlin would probably be smart enough to get the GM to at least take a look at him. Yeah.
Dallas probably would have been a good fit for him. Yeah. Back then they may have went for it. Now, no. Yeah. And back then Jerry Jones wasn't interfering quite to the extent he is now.
Oh, now he's hiring Brian Schottenheimer. Oh, gosh. Maybe Seattle. Seattle could get him. Because that gets him out of the AFC and into the NFC. Yeah.
And then in 2003, Dallas again. Pittsburgh still. Yeah. Cleveland had both Kelly Holcomb and Tim Couch. Oh, wow. In 2003.
But Cleveland wasn't smart enough, so they would have not looked at him. So they would have went, we're sticking with Couch and Holcomb. If he wanted to trade out of the AFC in 2003, there wasn't a real obvious team that I saw looking by the end of the year stats other than Dallas.
No, I agree. Even though teams did poorly, their quarterback play was pretty good. You know, I was looking at touchdown interception ratio. I made sure they started a lot of games, not just a couple.
Another thing is, is the defensive team that New England was at that time, and with Belichick's genius on defenses. Yeah. So, okay. Brady would have never taken off like that because he wouldn't have that chance.
Oh, that's true. That's true. He would have needed to go to a strong defense in order to become Tom Brady. Yeah, he just came in and played kind of really vanilla football.
Yeah, he started as the dreaded game manager, the guy who won't win you many, but he won't lose them. And the only reason he got that option was because of the defense. Yeah. So, that makes Baltimore all that more attractive because they had a good defense around 2002-2003.
Baltimore would have been a great landing spot for them. As a matter of fact, I think if anybody would have thought about it at all and gave them any serious consideration, it probably would have been Baltimore. And then Pittsburgh right behind them because Pittsburgh had a good defense too.
Yeah, Pittsburgh I could have too. Was that Mike Tomlin? I think it was. Yeah, Tomlin has been there forever. Cower already was gone in the 90s. I think so. Or that was close to the transition.
I think it was Tomlin. But anyhow, even Cower might have too. They had Cordell Stewart in Pittsburgh at that time too. Slash. Slash, yeah. That guy never got a decent shot in the NFL. No, he really didn't. I mean, I think he could have been good, but he had been nurtured right, which he really, I don't know what exactly happened.
Plus that was right smack in the era of everyone's afraid of black quarterbacks in the NFL. So, the word out was, oh, they're going to get hurt so don't have them run. If they're not a pocket passer, you can't use them in the NFL. That's when that shit was going around.
Yeah, so yeah, not a pocket passer, not the prototypical quarterback build, wrong skin tone for the good old boy network. Yeah, for the good old boy. Yeah, so. And you know, they had Rodney Pete in Pittsburgh, who did really well. Oh yeah, that's right, yeah.
But Charlie Batch was, he stuck around, but he wasn't really all that awesome. Charlie Batch was mixed. But he was okay. You know, it seems like after Cower left, then they started being more open to people of color in the quarterback position.
Yeah, it does seem like that. And then Rafflesberger came in and stole the job from everyone else. It's like, we don't care where your family was originally from. Rafflesberger is too freaking good. Yeah, they did not deny him.
Yeah, yeah. It's like, yeah, you got to beat him out with talent now.
Nobody gets an audition as long as this guy's healthy.
Remember Jim Drunken Miller? Oh my gosh. Rafflesberger always reminded me by the name of that guy. Yeah, yeah. Did he play for Atlanta? Or am I thinking of a different Miller?
He played for San Francisco, I believe. That's right, yeah. I remember that. And he was horrible. They drafted him early and he got in a bunch of trouble, didn't he?
Yeah, he was one of those guys that looked great in college. But they couldn't make the transition when they got to the NFL, they weren't fast enough, they weren't quick enough.
And in his case, I also think he wasn't mentally mature enough to handle the pressures, the temptations. No, because I think he got in a bunch of trouble in nightclubs or something, kind of like Rafflesberger did. Yeah, yeah.
That must be tough though. You're like 20, 21, you just got out of college and somebody hands you millions of dollars and says, you're on your own, be a man. Yikes.
It's hard for them. Yeah. Someone that young, it's hard for them, especially if they don't have really good people around them. Yeah, yeah.
Most of the time, if you're going to get a bunch of money, then the people who come towards you are the ones who want to siphon some off. Yeah.
Yeah, then the ones that hired the entourage, they always never work out either because entourage is yes men. And if you're fucking up, they're siphoning, you're the man, you're doing great.
A real friend is like, dude, come here, come here. Maybe you need to dial this down a bit.
Imagine all the rock stars whose reputations would be so much better if they had somebody nearby to say, that's stupid, don't do that.
That's right. A lot of bands would have never broken up if they did. Yeah.
Yeah, a lot of the yes men were going, oh, you're better than these guys, you need to leave. They're living off your name.
Eddie Murphy did a bit about James Brown and how you couldn't understand what he was saying. Yeah.
And James Brown ran his band with a really tight fist. Oh, yeah. You did what he said, you did it now.
He didn't paint very well either. Yeah. And so he was doing this bit, he was kind of like Buddy Rich, he was doing this bit where it was James Brown, you know, turning around and yelling to his backup band.
And they're like, yeah, yeah, all right. And then one of them turns out, he's like, what did he say? I don't know, man, he signs our paychecks, just say yeah. Just say yeah.
Yeah, that's true. Yeah. David Bowie was also incredibly stingy. He paid his backup band union scale and not a penny more. Yep.
And also, he also he, he lived at Glenn Hughes house for like over a year. Yeah, he just showed up and wouldn't leave.
Yeah, he wouldn't leave. And then him and his model girlfriend, I think she was the, I think maybe African American or some sort of.
I think it was her name. She was in one of the Star Trek movies. Yeah. They have loud, loud aggressive sex every night.
And it's in his book and Glenn Hughes is out there and his better one. Come on, guys.
Now I'm picturing it. I don't want to picture it. Yeah. Oh, man. Then the next day you're a breakfast with him.
You're like, man, OK. Now, these two that would definitely be a boner killer is imagine David Bowie naked. Oh, yeah.
No, no, no, no, no. That's just way too much pale skin. That's just. Yeah. That's British pale skin. Yeah.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Translucent wiener.
Oh, OK. So I'm kind of all out of football stuff for the time. OK. Well, I got the NFL drunkest fans.
Oh, drunkest fans. Man, who would that be? Who do you think number one would be?
Maybe the Raiders or somebody. I'm leaning towards either Raiders or Cleveland Browns fans. The dog pound.
No, the Tennessee Titans. Real. Wow. Number one. I would not have. I would not have thought of that.
Number two. This is a blue collar town, so I can kind of see it.
But I think if they run out of money for Budweiser's or whatever and has a Bush natural lights or whatever, Pittsburgh Steelers.
Oh, yeah. That's right. Yeah. I think there are a number of breweries in Pittsburgh.
There is basically serve the Pittsburgh area. I could see that. Yeah.
Number three. Well, probably because the team hasn't been anything since Andrew Luck. That'd be Indian Crapple is Colts.
Oh, well, have you ever been to Indiana? Yeah. Yeah. There ain't shit to do there. No.
No, no. Get no day drinking during the football games. About all they got.
There is one cool town in Indiana. We'll go Kentucky. Went there to meet some family last year.
It's kind of halfway from where they're going from where we're at. You go across the Ohio River and I forgot the name of the town.
It's right on the Ohio River. Anyhow, it's cool. It has like a bunch of backyard bars. Oh, cool. Yeah, it's really neat.
I can't remember the name of the town. Oh, well, there is another town in Indiana, Fort Wayne. Fort Wayne is cool.
Yeah. Remember the band Fountains of Wayne? Yeah. That's what they're named after. The Fountains of Fort Wayne.
How? And Sweetwater Music is located there. That's right. And they are enormous.
And apparently if you show up at their store, absolutely anything they have in stock, they will go get it and unbox it and let you try it.
Wow. Absolutely anything. I know they're really, really well known and really liked. Yeah.
Also, Michigan City. Oh, yeah. And that is home of Lake Michigan and the Michigan City Public Beach, which they were so busy the day I was there.
I was meeting my cousin at Notre Dame. So I fly into Chicago and they couldn't get there until a little bit later.
They had some delays up in Canada. So I was like, all right, you know, and his oldest daughter was looking at maybe Notre Dame going to.
And it didn't work out. But I was like, you know, I think I'll go see Lake Michigan.
I get up there and that damn park was so huge that I couldn't. I had a rental and I couldn't remember what it looked like.
So I'm out there with my key. And all the trees looked alike and all the grass looked alike.
Is everybody's parking in grass? Oh, I had a hell of a time finding that fucking car. I guess. Yeah.
So anyhow, but, you know, I have to admit I have a little bit of a little bit of bias against Indiana as a state, because when I think of Indiana,
mostly what I think of is Major Frank Burns, the Ferret Face, the chin, the lipless wonder. Yes. Yes.
And he I got to give. I forgot his name. Larry Linville. Larry Linville. I got to give him credit. He played.
He was so good. Yeah. The most obnoxious, childish, petulant army major you could ever run into.
Oh, yeah. And such a crappy surgeon on top. He hated radar. Yeah.
And he used to always get after, get out of here, you little pipsqueak. He hated everybody he had authority over. Yes. Yeah.
So, yeah, Larry Linville actually was in after the show was all done.
Pretty much everybody said that was their favorite co-worker was Larry Linville. He was such a nice guy.
So funny. So great to hang out with. It's like nothing at all like you see on the street.
Then he quit the show and they brought in what's his name? David Ogden Starrs. Yeah. For Winchester. Winchester. Yeah.
Larry Linville said that once Houlahan got married, he figured there really wasn't much else. No.
He said before Houlahan got married, he's like there really isn't much more to do with this Frank Burns character.
I'm just doing the same stuff over and over. Yeah. He got bored with it. Yeah.
So that's why they had Houlahan get engaged and then get married. So that'd be a good reason for Frank to leave.
Yeah. And then they had him flip out and do crazy shit or something. Yeah. Yeah.
And his ending was the Army covered up all of his transgressions, promoted him to Lieutenant Colonel, and stationed him back home in Fort Wayne.
Yeah, that's right. Yeah. It was funny because they did the irony of life so well because I remember, damn it, the first, not Potter, but McClean Stevenson.
It was Henry Blake. Yeah. They had him die. Yes. He quit the show. No one even knew it.
I mean, it was like a big secret. And they're like, expect him to go home. Yeah.
And then they're like, well, you know, he got shot down overseas. The plane went in the water. That was it. Yeah.
And when they filmed that scene, it's an operating session. And Radar comes in to read them.
And they told everybody that Radar is going to come in and read a telegram. And they didn't know. They didn't know what he was going to say. Yeah.
They told Radar, you know, what he was going to say. Yeah, because he had to.
So the reactions you see are the ones that the actors actually had on hearing that the Henry Blake character was dead and no possibility of ever coming back.
Yeah. And everybody was like, you know, silenced. Yeah. And everyone kept stating character. That was pretty awesome, too. Yeah. Yeah.
And they did that on the Sopranos, too, whenever one of them was killed off. They kept it secret as much as they could.
And then the day that they're filming, they read it and they all get a moment of silence. And they're like, OK, all right.
And then when they do it, but they did a little bit different. They didn't do it right there and let him know, you know, what during the scene.
They let him know that day. And they're all like kind of like, oh, shit, that's it. He's not coming back.
And that would kind of be what it was like when a friend of yours gets assassinated. Exactly.
That's what they did like. You hear that you're here. They're gone. Yeah. And that's it. It's like, huh, how did that happen?
Yeah. So there's you know, there's a certain degree of like real life in it. Yeah, that's pretty clever. I think that's great.
Anyhow, let's see. Oh, drunken fans.
Number four is the Atlanta Falcons for obvious reasons. Oh, yeah. Lots of wine coolers and mixed drinks.
Yeah, I would think San Francisco is in there somewhere, but I'll wait and see. Wow. OK.
Next one would be New Orleans. Oh, yeah. That makes a lot of sense. Of course. Yeah. It's party town.
Yeah, they're down there drinking hurricanes and hand grenades. Yeah.
To me, hand grenades are worse than hurricanes, but whatever. I taste better, too. All right. Miami Dolphins.
Oh, yeah. You're in Miami. It never gets all that cold there. So you're drinking. Yeah.
The Green Bay Packers. Huh. Yeah, that's a beard. But yeah, I can see beer.
But yeah, next one, New England Patriots. Now, that surprises me. Number eight. Me too.
Number nine, I thought would be number one, and that's the Raiders. Oh, wow.
I guess they're all on something else. I guess alcohol is not their drug of choice during the game.
Number 10 are the Rams. Hmm.
Number 11 is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It'd be kind of a party town. Yeah. Yeah, I could see that.
Number 12 are the Cleveland Browns, who I thought would have been hired. Oh, yeah. I would have thought so, too.
Yeah. Number 13 is the Seahawks. Hmm. 14 is the 49ers. They're halfway down.
Yeah. I mean, you think San Francisco, it's right in the middle of wine country.
You'd think you'd have all the people drinking wine and then all the people who are sick of wine drinking beer.
Oh, yeah. I would have thought, yeah. Yeah. This next one really got me because I thought they'd be really high
because of the breweries in the city and around surrounding areas. And that's the Denver Boncos.
Denver is a craft beer city and has been for a long time. Yeah.
They have some very famous craft beers, including like Breckenridge Brewery and some other places.
And they even have a Breckenridge right there on the spot at Millerfield, or no Coorsfield, and was the other one,
at Invesco or Mile High. They have, you know, so that kind of surprised me.
Number 16 is Philadelphia. I figured they'd register high. I thought they would be higher, yeah.
Number 17 is the Panthers. They got a reason to drink. Yes, they do. Yep.
Number 18 would be the Texans. Yeah.
Number 20 is Buffalo, although it did spike last week. Oh, I imagine so. Yeah.
They went to number one last week. Yeah. At about five till six. Yeah.
Number 21 would be the Cowboys. Yeah.
22 would be the Lions, although they spiked about three weeks ago. Yeah, I'm sure they did. Yeah.
Number 23 would be the Arizona Cardinals. I didn't know old people drank that much. Yeah, that's odd.
24, the Bears. The Bears. The Bears. They're too full of pizza. Yeah, yeah, that's true.
They got to work off that Chicago crust, deep dish. Yeah.
26, the Chargers. I wonder if that's, well, that'd be Los Angeles. I wonder what it would have been in San Diego.
Yeah, that's a good question. Second biggest city in the state. Yeah, that's true.
Right next to Tijuana. TJ. Yes. Yeah, okay. Yeah, TJ is an interesting place because I know people that used to go there all the time.
Donkey shows exist. Yep. Yeah. Yep. And as most Mexicans will tell you, Tijuana was built for the Americans to come across the border to visit. Yes.
It wasn't built for Mexican people living. No, no, no. It was built for the Americans. It was like Vegas. Yeah.
You know, it's built for the entertainment and for whatever you want. All the shit that you don't get here, come on down. Yeah.
So don't go to Tijuana and expect it to be real life. No, no, no. It's as fake as it gets. Don't go down there with your family. No.
So 28 would be the commanders. Oh, yeah. Yeah. 29 is the Giants and then the 30, 31 and 32 are all tied.
And one of them is the chiefs and the other two I ran out of paper. So who's left?
Let's see. Jets. Jets. The Jets. Kansas City. And then there's one more. Cincinnati. Cincinnati.
Are all tied 31st or 30th. Yeah. Yeah. Cool. Yeah. That's surprising. There's some there's some cities there I figured to be the much different spot.
I thought Cincinnati would be higher, honestly. Yeah. They are really they are a they're a drinking town. You know. Yeah.
And I guess Seattle is too. I was surprised by Seattle, but I guess not everybody drinks coffee in Seattle.
Some of us don't drink beer. It's another brewery heavy town. Yeah. Could be spike coffee. Yeah.
Actually, Seattle is actually a fun place to hang out if you like to party because there's a local beer, tons of local coffee and tons of local weed.
Yeah. And awesome seafood if you like seafood. Yeah. And then you have the bay there. I mean, yeah. Yeah. Canada's just right across the border. Yep.
Yeah. I like I like Seattle. I was very impressed with it. Really expensive to live there. Yeah. Yeah. Very expensive.
The only way you can afford to live in Seattle, ironically enough, is to be homeless. Yeah. And they have enough of that.
I'm not saying that to be a smart Alice. It's smart Alec. It's that that really is the most affordable way to live in Seattle. Yep. Yeah.
I got some prop bets. Oh, I love those. I do too. One of the prop bets is will a player or coach cry during the national anthem?
Oh, absolutely. Chris Jones is going to cry. Yes, is minus 430. So there you go. Yeah. Yeah. Chris Jones is going to cry.
No, you're giving up 285. So there you go. Yeah. I'm not sure how those numbers work.
But OK, minus means that you're on a handicap because they think it's good that that's what's going to happen. Yeah.
Plus means you're giving up points because it's likely it's likely. Yeah. OK.
So John Besties national anthem.
Over 120 seconds is minus 22. So they think it's going to go long and under 120.5 seconds is at 100 plus. Huh?
Well, you know, I would consider that a sucker bet because I'm pretty sure the national anthem has already been recorded.
I know. Yeah. So they already know how long it is. I would never bet that because I'm the same with you.
I'm like, wait a minute. They're going to know this. I mean, remember that that big climactic national anthem
when Whitney Houston sang it right when the first Gulf War happened? Yeah.
And everyone rushed right out the next day to buy a copy of it. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
It's because it was recorded in the studio and they had all those copies ready for sale before she even sang it on the field because she was lip syncing.
Yeah, they couldn't press it that night and sing it out. Yeah. So, yeah, that's that's a sucker bet.
It's like, you know, how long is the new movie coming out going to be?
Well, they get to decide. So whatever you bet on, they're going to do the other. Yeah. Sucker bet.
No, I think so, too. This next one, I think, is a sucker bet, too, because I'll bet you they probably went to them and said, well, what's going on?
Well, Travis Kelsey proposed to Taylor Swift. Yes, plus 500. No, minus 950. Are they talking about at the Super Bowl?
Yeah. And that's it's really heavy. I know nobody's going to think so. And I will agree with that, too. I don't think it's going to happen.
I wouldn't think so. But if if somebody offered them enough money to stay, you know, that's what I'm saying.
Yeah, I think that's a sucker's bet, because I think if they came up to him and said, hey, we want this to happen, what's it going to take?
Yeah. Especially if we're going to do it anyhow, because of speculation, she keeps wearing gloves in public.
Yeah. There's a ring underneath there. Yeah.
Imagine the reality show that Taylor Swift and Kelsey are going to have. And this is their advanced PR is proposed right at the Super Bowl.
And then we'll announce your TV show. And then I could see that. Yeah.
So it's probably something already made up in advance. I could definitely see. Yeah.
Taylor and Travis or Travis and Taylor, whatever they call it. Zany new comedy. Yeah.
They're going to have a reality show. Oops, we got married. Funny scenarios like Taylor doesn't know what shirt to put on.
Travis wears it for her to illustrate how cool it looks.
Next week, Taylor was counting your money and lost track at seven hundred fifty three million.
Now he has to start over. It's so silly. Oh, and then slapstick ensues.
Especially when brother Jason came over to help her count with shirtless in a bathtub.
Wow. Yeah. Now, remember last time you may or may not remember this.
When I read this, I was like, oh, yeah, I didn't necessarily remember right off my head.
But OK, last time the Superdome hosted a Super Bowl, the game had a thirty four minute power outage.
Oh, that's right. Yeah. Right. So, of course, there is a profit.
Plus sixteen hundred for yes, there will be. So I don't believe there will be minus fifteen hundred for no.
Wow. Yeah. Kind of not the way I thought it would go. No, no, no.
All right. Any quarterback to record a reception?
Wow. A quarterback. I like that one a lot because that one is just going to be.
I don't think they're going to get that fancy.
I can't remember my homes or her catching the pass this season.
No, no, that would be considered a risky play. And I don't see him doing it in Super Bowl.
I see him doing it in the regular season. Yeah. But not during the Super Bowl.
Yeah. So anyhow, yes, plus sixteen hundred, no, minus sixty six hundred.
Any non-quarterback to throw a touchdown?
I can see that happening. Yeah. Minus six hundred plus eight. Eight hundred.
Yeah. I can see how people are voting yes on that one. I could too. Because that happens.
Yeah. And I think that's a good bet too because if it happens you're making a lot of money.
And I think this is going to be the game to pull out all the stops. So you're more likely to see a play like that.
Something like that is less risky than a quarterback catching a ball. Yeah. True.
All right. Any lineman to score a touchdown?
Well, that happens. Yeah. Didn't the Chiefs lineman score a touchdown in a Super Bowl?
Yes. So there you go. It's happening. Who was it? Al Greti? No. Was it Al Greti?
It might have been. I remember it was an O lineman. Yeah. It was an O lineman. Yeah. Anyhow. Okay.
Well, that's all I got. All right. All right. Should we go ahead and go to the music creeps here?
I think we should. All right. Well, we'll be right back.
Oh, no. Looks like the show's over kids. Mark has explosive diarrhea and can't afford a wireless mic.
Fear not, assholes. They'll be back invading your ear holes soon.
