Hey, guess what? You just landed on the Sports
Bastards. Sorry about your luck. Sports Bastards.
Oh, I don't think anybody's ready for nine hours
of this. Oh, okay. Well, I guess you're just
going to have to use your power bank on something
else. And good thing the power didn't go out
last night because now you'd have about one hour.
Yeah, I would have had to be scrambling to recharge
it. Yes. Ow! Okay. Hot coffee burn baby. Oh,
yeah, yeah, yeah. Having a rain man moment there.
All right, so. Okay. I want to start off. Sports
bastards. We didn't say that, did we? No, we
didn't. Okay. Here we are 35 seconds in, and
we haven't still told how well. You know what?
They're getting what they pay for, aren't they?
Exactly, yeah. You give people a free podcast,
they take what they get. Yes, that's right. So
I'm going to start off with a Christmas Day triple
header. They have not announced the games. Just
two day games on Netflix and one night game on
Amazon Prime. Interesting. So they're essentially
both on apps. Yeah. So like they're threatening
to do. And like I said, I really do believe this
is going to be true. They're spreading them out
so far to where when they bring them all to one
home, maybe NFL Network app or something. That's
what I'm guessing. Yeah, or what's going to run
to that. Well, you can get everything right here.
Yeah. It makes sense because the NFL has been
selling the TV rights for the games to all these
networks who are in turn making a profit on it.
So the NFL has realized if we keep these games
ourselves and broadcast them ourselves, we'll
get that profit. Because if they can afford to
pay us $50 million and still make a profit, we
will too. So the NFL network is setting itself
up to become the home for all NFL games. And
I believe that's probably what's going to happen
is that right there. And then they can charge
whatever they want for it per month, and people
will pay it. Especially if you're gambling on
the games, you're going to have to pay it so
you can watch and make sure. And that's where
the mobile phone comes in, the smartphone. And
they have mentioned this several times about
they want it easy to be phone accessible through
apps. The reason that is is the guy with more
than a rooting interest. He's, I don't know,
camping. He goes, oh shit, hang on. I put $20
down on the Vikings. Let's see what's going on
there. Okay, I can watch. Oh, it's a fourth quarter.
They're behind by three and they're driving.
He puts on the game. He watches it because he
has that money down on him. Yeah, I think that's
going to be the driving force behind getting
high -speed internet and cell phone coverage
to the entire nation, including these remote
and rural areas, because there's money to be
made off of them. Remote areas of camping in
southern Missouri, I know people that go deer
hunting every year. For a long time, you just
had to, you know, well, I hope they're okay,
you know. You get a satellite phone, maybe that
would work. Yeah, that would be it, satellite
phone, kind of like ship to shore out there.
But what it is, is they can get phone service
all through those deep woods now. It's a combination
of there's money to be made off the people in
the remote areas. Plus, there's tracking data
together and cell based on those people. Yeah,
because if you provide them cell phone service,
you can track them constantly, and then somebody
will pay you for that tracking data. Yeah. Money
to be made. Yeah. So I'm saying people are out
deer hunting, and they have a little bit of money
on the game, so that's a win -win for them. Yeah.
So NFL Network is positioning themselves really
well, I think. I'd be surprised if they let this
opportunity get past them. But, yeah, I would
say within the next three to five years, all
the games will be on NFL, and you need the NFL
app, and they're going to charge what they want
to charge. Yeah, like business as usual, in other
words. Yeah, yeah. All right. Next, the NFL owners
have voted to align the regular season overtime
rules more closely with the postseason overtime
rules. I'd heard about that one, yeah. Yeah.
The overtime rules in the postseason, the period
is 15 minutes long, and both teams are guaranteed
a possession. Yeah. Even if a team gets the ball
first and scores a touchdown. Yeah. So what happened
in the Super Bowl two years ago won't happen
again. Yep. So. You keep making these rules to
make it harder for the Chiefs to win. Yes. They
are picking on the Eagles this time with the,
what is it? Tush push, but they tabled it. Yeah,
the butt blast. They tabled it. Yeah, the ass
dozer. The ass dozer. Well, I'll tell you one
thing is, if they outlaw it, they're going to
cleverly figure out ways around it. True. And
get people hurt. But what I think other teams
should do, under the current rules, each team
needs to hire somebody who's about five feet
tall and weighs 75 pounds. Yes. And list them
as an eligible number. Yeah. So he can line up
under center, receive the snap, and then three
big guys pick him up and throw him over the line
of scrimmage. I love that idea. That is perfectly
legal under today's rules. Yeah. Why aren't they
doing it yet? Well, you're going to see a rule
change next year. Yeah. Remember when Major League
Baseball, one team signed a little person? whose
strike zone was so tiny that he got walked every
time. The very next year they changed the strike
zone to be no matter how tall or short you are,
this is the strike zone. This is the strike zone
between your, what is it, between the top of
your, hey, you know what, that's baseball, who
cares. Yeah, but it's interesting how many rules
are in place to stop teams from cheating. Yeah.
Not to prevent them, to stop them in the first
place. Can you imagine the little people? I mean,
they're already pissed off about everything.
you do that in football oh my gosh they'll be
picketing games they'll be out there think of
all the actors who are also little people who
got shut out of the snow white movie in favor
of cgi you know i know yeah yeah well you know
there's a fire at the epcot center it got better
it got better numbers than the snow white movie
so yeah i haven't really looked at anything about
the snow white movie because right now youtube
is just sending me fake videos about whatever
it thinks I'm interested in. Oh, no, it was a
complete, complete flop. That's what I figured,
but, you know, YouTube is at this point is trying
to tell me what it thinks I want to hear, so
I'll click on the video and watch it. You know,
Hollywood's too busy trying to teach everybody
a lesson. Nobody wants that. Yeah, it's really
weird for such an industry that is so obsessed
with making money and staying on top. they still
feel like they can throw in some material that
maybe not everybody wants to see or is willing
to pay for. Yeah, I pay for a movie. They're
not making strictly business decisions, are they?
No, and I'm not saying I agree with it or not
or anything like that. What I'm saying is I want
a movie if I pay for a movie. I don't want it
skewed one way or another to try to teach me
something or to point out something. Yeah. Think
of a band you like, and if their next album comes
out and it's all a discussion of French literature
from the 1800s. You're not going to buy it. No.
You're going to be like, yeah, that's cool. And
that's a perfectly valid subject, but I don't
want to pay for to hear it. So that's what people
are saying about any movie they don't want to
see is like, yeah, I'm not interested in that,
and I'm voting with my money. Yeah, and that's
what's been going on a lot, how a lot of these
movies have been flopping because they throw
their own twist on it, and people are like, that's
not how I remember it. Yeah, and then the worst
thing they can do is start blaming the public
for being racist or bigoted or stupid. And that's
been going on too. Yeah, and that always works.
Really poorly, doesn't it? Yes, it's like I'm
none of the above, and I don't appreciate the
accusation, and that's going to make me even
stay away from you guys further. Okay, so both
teams are guaranteed a possession. So under last
year's rule, the touchback is so – okay, but
that's no longer the case. So that's going to
be like another – the way I read this and the
way I read it is it's going to be another quarter.
Yeah, a full quarter. Yeah, and that's it. Under
last year's rule, the touchback was at the 30
-yard line. Now it's at the 35 -yard line. Oh.
Yeah, so you're going to see more scoring. That's
interesting because I had read something about
them wanting to change that because so many teams
were opting for the touchback because it was
good field position that it became a dead play
again. This is going to make it worse. I know.
Who's going to pay attention to kickoff when
it's, you know, they kick the ball, they fair
catch, and they spot it at the 35, and now we
go to commercial again. I think they figured
out that a lot of people like scoring. Yeah,
that's true. So, I mean, I think that's what
it is. And they'll tweak it again, too. And then
the other big rule is now the footballs are going
to contain a computer chip, and they will tell
you exactly where the football is so there's
no more whining. Yeah. And we know who they are.
Yes. We got that guy. They didn't spot the ball
right. Yeah, and that's such the easiest thing
to say, too. And like it's the first time that's
ever happened in the history of pro football.
I know. Amazing. Yeah, I like the human element,
you know. So, all right, they missed one. But
I'm not even saying they missed one. I don't
think they missed that one against the Bills.
There was no clear -cut evidence showing that
Josh Allen was over the line. No clear -cut.
It has to be clear -cut. Yeah, if you've watched
TV for like, I don't know, any portion of your
life, you realize that camera angle tells everything.
Yes. If they show this camera angle, and you're
like, oh my God, it was over the line. Then they
show that camera angle, oh, it's not over the
line. It's just whichever angle they want to
show you. Yeah, yeah. And so the whole thing
about, oh, they ripped us off, is not valid.
Because there's no way it could be proven and
it's always been like this and always will be
like that. If you cannot prove it, it can't be
overturned. It's got to be clear -cut evidence
that that's what happened like a fumble. They
have to have clear -cut evidence that the guy's
knee wasn't down. And if there's a bunch of bodies
in there and they couldn't tell, then they can't
rule it. And like, who recovered the fumble?
It changes hands Langer 10 times when all these
bodies are piled on top of each other. They can't
tell. They do their best guess. Yeah, they can't
tell. They do their best guess. And that's it.
And that's part of the game. And if you don't
like it, I mean, that's just too damn bad, you
know? Yeah, if you remove all that human element,
you might as well just have the game simulated
on a video game console. Yeah. Why not? Why not?
Yeah. So these people that are asking for something
different, it doesn't matter because when they
get jabbed by the new rule, then they're going
to bitch about it again and go, well, okay, so
what happens is we're going to have that extra
quarter and then someone's going to get stiffed
by it and then they're going to want to go back
to the other way and go, well, how come we can't
go back? We would have won this because we scored
the touchdown first. That's not what you said
last year. Well, see, that's the brilliant thing
about the NFL. They can change their rules every
year if they want to. They decide this year we're
going to have the rules favoring this type of
offense and this type of game play. And then
the next year they're like, eh, let's change
it to something else. Yeah, yes. They're under
no obligation to keep the rules consistent. I
find it funny that every one of these rules are
a direct result of Mahomes beating somebody.
That is kind of a recurring theme, isn't it?
And then the good old people that can't handle
a dynasty in the Midwest. They cheated. The refs
are always on their side. You're full of shit.
I never heard the league office once complain
about the referee's calls. I never heard the
gambling institution in Vegas and Atlantic City
complaining. And if things were being fixed or
thrown, don't you think the bookies would know
or object? if it wasn't going in their favor?
Oh, gosh, yeah. No, the whole thing is just ridiculous.
Yeah. I mean, the general public is saying, this
is wrong, this is fixed. The people actually
doing it are just twiddling their thumbs and
raking in the money. Yeah, and I think you said
it first. It's not broken. It's working exactly
how they designed it to work. I think you're
the one that said this first, and it makes so
much sense. Yeah. Okay. All 32 teams. Okay, we're
going to have the Chiefs win for the next 10
years. Yeah, we're all just going to give up
and roll over and let the Chiefs beat us. That
sounds like a great idea. 31 other competitive,
highly motivated business owners or business
owning groups, they're just going to roll over
and let the league tell them to let the Chiefs
win? Yeah. I don't think so. No, I don't think
so either. So, okay, so it's like always, you
know, losers, weepers. Yeah, people look for
a reason for something that happened that makes
it not their fault. Yeah, yes. And also another
thing is, it's great talk. It's great fucking
water bottle talk. And it's great for the radio,
for internet shows, for podcasts, to keep stirring
up this type of controversy and concern about
it. It makes money. In sports radio, it used
to be the Pete Rose rule. So you don't have anything
going on. It's dead. You just start up the, should
Pete Rose be in the Hall of Fame? Then you get
500 calls. Yeah, you bring that one up during
ratings week. Yes, and that is something nobody
really gives a fuck about, but everybody has
an opinion on it. Do you remember the early days
of call -in radio when people first started getting
cell phones? Yeah. They would prioritize those
calls on the radio. Yes. And they would announce
to you, this is so -and -so calling in on a cellular
phone. Yes. And the excuse they gave was, well,
they're paying for their minutes, so we'll try
to get them on faster. The reality was, is the
cell phone industry, their advocacy group, was
paying the radio stations to promote... cell
phone ownership as fun and cool and a thing you
want to do. Yeah, look, you can be driving down
the road and calling and bitch at me. So I'm
remembering all those times where they said,
here's Bill from Topeka calling in on a cell
phone. They were getting paid for every single
time they did that. I remember Don Fortune doing
that a lot. Yeah. So it's important also to realize
that the advertising is everywhere. It's not
just during the commercial breaks. It's everywhere.
They could throw away the commercial breaks and
still make a shit ton off of advertising with
everything. Yeah. Yeah. No, you're right. Keep
that in mind when paying for your streaming service.
Yes. Yes. Well, all right. I'm in a cranky mood
today. I apologize to all our listeners. I'm
kind of cranky. I'm going to try to turn it around.
Well, I mean, getting woke up by thunderstorms
and all that stuff doesn't help. It doesn't lend
to it. Yeah. Day two of a migraine. Oh, really?
Yeah. I'm on my medication, so I'm feeling okay
now. You're okay? Okay. It still kind of weirds
me out. Okay. All right. That's cool. Well, and
also the doom and gloom of the, you know, oh,
no, no. We got conditions favorable for tornadoes
at four in the morning. Nice. Nice. Thanks. Yeah.
So, yeah, I'm going to go to sleep and feel really
good when I go to sleep now. Thanks. Oh, and
besides that, if you don't get nailed by a tornado,
you've got large hail and damaging winds. Yeah.
Maybe even baseball size. So enjoy. Have a good
night. What's that Metallica song, Now I Lay
Me Down to Sleep? Yeah. I pray the Lord my soul
to keep. A little baby don't say a word. Inner
Sandman. Inner Sandman, yep. I just heard that
the other day. Yeah. That would have been a hell
of a way to do your nighttime prayers, just whip
out a guitar and start jamming. Hush little baby,
don't say a word. And that baby will be in therapy
the rest of its life. Sports show, that's right,
sports show. Yeah, it's all right. We'll get
to the music creeds later. Yeah, yeah. But, you
know, I mean, obviously, you know, it doesn't,
the downloads are about the same as the rest
of them. That's good. Evidently, they must not
care. Yeah. Either that or they put it on to
go to sleep. Yeah. Or it's the same group of
people who can't get to their phone to turn it
off. Yeah. Somebody turned it on to make them
sad. Yeah, yeah. And it's like, man, I sure wish
I could get to that phone. I don't want to hear
it anymore. We give. We give. Okay. Ten cent
raise. Just turn that shit off. All right. Well,
do you want to do some more report cards? Yeah,
sure. All right. Topher, I'll let you begin.
All right. Well, we all remember what fun the
New York Jets were last year. We're both a mess.
Oh, yeah. And then, is he going to Pittsburgh
or not? Oh, yeah. I wanted to talk about that.
You know, Aaron Rodgers is doing the coy gimmick
again. Well, I may retire. I don't know. Maybe
I'll stay. Trying to raise his price and get
his perks. Yeah, and I don't think that's happening
this time. I don't think so. I think people got,
in the past two years, they've gotten an idea
of what Aaron Rodgers can do for a team. Not
as much as you're going to have to pay for. Yeah.
He's kind of Russell Wilson. It's kind of like,
hmm, I don't know if he's worth the money. Yeah.
Yeah, so. Well, I. I got a cut off here of the
treatment of families, but I think it was about
a B. You know what? Make it up. It's fine. No
one knows. Because they said it was all right.
Okay. They got a B plus in nutrition and diet,
a B in strength coaches, and a B in head coach.
Everything else was a C or lower. Okay. So, food
and dining area was a D minus last year. They
brought it up to a C minus this year. Oh, God
bless them. The players rate the taste of the
team's food at 6 .8 out of 10. That's not very
good. Freshness at 7 .5 out of 10. That's better.
So, you know they're getting some mushy grapes
and brown bananas. They rate their dining areas
a 7 .28 out of 10, making them 27 out of 32 teams.
I believe that. Nutrition and dietitian are okay.
Locker room, D+. Most of that's Aaron Rodgers.
Yeah. It's amazing. The two teams with the New
York franchise in their name are crap. And they're
crap organizations, and they have crap facilities.
This is New York. I guess nobody really cares
that much anymore. There's just so many other
things to do. Like the Los Angeles, there's always
something else to do. Yeah, and I think that
is part of the deal why the NFL probably doesn't
necessarily care as much as they used to. That
they realize that these other teams are actually
garnering the underdog status, and they like
that. Well, 73 % of the players feel they have
enough room in their individual lockers. So that
means 17 % or 27 % think they don't. 28 % feel
their locker room size itself is too small. Okay.
The training room got a C. Their rankings were
75 % to 80 % on hot tub space, cold tub space,
full -time physical therapist. So they're like,
neat. Training staff is a C. They feel that the
training staff only slightly contributes to their
success. And only 74 % of the players feel they
get enough one -on -one action. Or attention,
I say, action. I know what you're saying. Weight
room is a C+. The equipment quality is okay,
but the weight room itself is way too small.
Strength coach has got a B. Team travel has got
a C+. 84 % of the players say they have enough
room. But pretty much most of the players said,
our schedule's not efficient. They leave at bad
times. They arrive at bad times. Let's go into
that just a second. Do you think that they're
buying cheaper flights? Yeah. That's what it
is. I think that for a lot of these team charters,
some teams own their own plane. Other teams will
charter a plane. But I think in a lot of the
cases, they tell the airlines whose facilities
they're using, work us in whenever, just charge
us less money per week to park our plane here
and service it. So if you've got five flights
that need to go out, you can push us to the back
of the line. We don't care as long as we get
the cheaper rate. That's what teams are doing,
and the players are having to sit around for
hours waiting for their plane to take off. Because
once they close the doors and push it back from
the gate, You're not getting off. No. Not unless
that plane's on fire. They are not letting you
off. So you're hostage there for five, six, seven
hours waiting for clearance to take off. I think
that's part of what they're talking about of
inefficient travel. Oh, yeah. Okay. That would
make sense. I was a hostage on a plane before,
too, trying to leave DFW. And there was hailstorms
all around us. Oh. And I'm like, oh, okay, they're
going to let us back in the airport. No. No.
They'll make you sit there until the toilets
overflow and run down the aisles and they won't
push you back to the gate to let you off. No,
I know. And we were there for over two hours
just sitting there. And then when all the weather
calmed down. Okay, we can go now. I'm like, well,
I guess I never, you know, I was like thinking,
oh, I'll get to buy a pizza, get a Coke. Well,
see, the big thing is if they don't let you off
the plane, they don't have to refund your money.
They don't have to give you a voucher. They don't
have to do anything. If they take you back and
let you off the plane, now they got to pay. So
as long as they keep you on that plane, they
don't have to spend another penny on you. That
makes sense. That's why they do it. Okay. You
know, we've always heard these airlines are operating
on like a. Razor thin profit margin. Well, this
is part of the way they stay profitable is once
they have your money, they do everything possible
to make sure they never have to give any of it
back. Yeah. Or give you any perks for the inconvenience.
That's why you're a prisoner on the airplane.
Yeah. And you know what? I mean, look, I mean,
I want safe flights above anything. So that's
what it takes and that's what it takes, you know.
They need that extra money for a little bit more
safety. Okay. It's kind of like the school districts
that won't call a snow day because if the students
aren't physically there in the building, they
don't get paid by the federal government for
that day. Yeah. So they won't call a snow day
because they need the money. Yeah, that's right.
Yeah. Okay. That's how things work. Yeah. Okay.
New York Jets. Owner got an F. You figured, Woody
Johnson. Moron. Aptly named Johnson. Yes. Letting
his teenage sons run the team for him because
of what they see on Madden football and read
on social media. Normally a story like that is
a fringe story. Not now. You spend billions on
a team and you let your kids run it on their
whim. Yeah. Whatever the hell, man. I don't care.
I trust you guys. Go ahead. Oh, that player wasn't
so good in Madden football? Well, we won't sign
him in real life then. Forget it. We all know
Madden football is so reliable. Yeah, that's
why when the head coach was fired last year,
he said, literally, I'm taking orders from teenagers.
I remember that. Uh -huh. He was dead serious
about it. Anyway, okay, so Woody Johnson gets
a rating of 5 .58 out of 10, ranking him dead
last. I believe it. That's perceived willingness
to invest in the facilities. Yeah, I believe
that. And you know how players feel. They all
slightly contribute, somewhat contribute to a
winning attitude or positive team. The players
feel that Johnson does not contribute to a winning
attitude and a positive culture. Just flat out
doesn't. There's no maybe, a little bit, sort
of. No, they're just dead flat out. So this guy's
nothing. I got to say, I get it. All the stuff
that came out, yes. And only enough players agreed
that he was somewhat committed to building a
competitive team to only getting him a rank of
31 out of 32 teams. Wow. Yeah. Okay. It's amazing
how the league office just lets this happen.
They're like, eh, we don't care. No, I know.
Run this New York franchise into the ground.
If their overall profits are good, then I think
a lot of it just gets overlooked anyhow. So their
overall profits are really good. I'm just imagining
a team in New York that is doing well and everybody
is enjoying and they sell about three to five
million jerseys. Yeah. Why wouldn't you want
to? Why are you letting the Giants and the Jets
just kind of. muddle around and get by. Yeah.
I don't know. Yeah. Well, there's things they're
not telling us. Oh, well, yeah. Look, I mean,
like I said, the overall profit is really good.
So a lot of this stuff is they're going to consider
ancillary, secondary. You know, it's kind of
like, well, look at this business model. It's
working, obviously. So we're not going to really
stress about that too well. That's something
that the players will have to take up with their
owners, you know. Yeah. All right. I have the
Bears. Go Bears. But they're surprisingly in
the middle. They're number 14 overall ranking.
And, you know, I mean, the Bears is kind of like
a combination, and this is not this right here
related, but there's a combination of the wrong
management with wrong draft picks. Now they may
have a right draft pick, and they may have the
right management, but we don't know because who
they got in, we'll have to wait and see. But
at least they're trying. They got Eric Biennemi
in there, who is used to a winning team. I mean,
the last couple of years, no, but when he was
with Kansas City, he had a great deal to do with
everything, obviously. And he's seasoned very
well. So I think he has more influence than people
think. I think that he's like, well, you know,
I really like this running back, and I kind of
like this guy right here. I think Caleb Williams
can do it if we complement him with this and
this, the play calling. I remember some Chiefs
players saying that Eric Bien -Ami, they liked
the way he held the players accountable for what
they were doing and what they were doing wrong
in their actions, et cetera, but he did it in
such a way that you wanted to learn from it and
get better. It's not like he was yelling at you
and running you down. When he got to the commanders,
that's how they took it, and they hated him there
because they felt like he was picking on them.
In the Chiefs, it was like, okay, yeah, we get
what you're saying, and you want this team to
be better, so okay. And you're also talking about
a winning culture too. Yeah. A winning culture
is accountability. That's a big part of it. And
when the enemy went to the commanders, they still
had the most toxic owner in all the sports, Daniel
Snyder. Yeah, that's right. So once he left,
it was like, you know, the wicked witch dying.
Yeah, it's like, hey, everything's good now.
Yes. Okay, they ranked 14th overall, ranking
the breakdown. Treatment of families, C +, they're
19th. Room for improvement. Yeah, food and dining
area, 22nd, a C +, not very well. Nutrition,
dietician, a B, they're number 19th. Locker room,
A-, they're 8th, and some of this is cut. Oh,
maybe it's not. Okay. Weight room, they got an
A. Nice. They're number six. Strength coaches,
B plus. They're 20th with a B plus. That means
there are a lot of teams with really good strength
coaches. Yeah, and that would figure that they
would hone in on that, too. Team travel, they
got a B. They're number 19. But they're also
in the middle of the country, too. That's true.
And Chicago. I mean, there's like 10 airports
there. So if they were anything lower than that,
I would have serious... I think half the problems
with travel out of Chicago is because it's just
so congested. It's not the team's fault or the
airline's fault. It's just because there are
so many people in the air. That's why I won't
take O 'Hare layover. I'll take a Midway Air
layover, but not O 'Hare. That's not Atlanta
bad or Denver bad, but it's bad. Alright, head
coach C. 32nd, but that's going to, you know,
we'll see. Yeah, the new head coach. Yeah. Ownership,
A -. They did okay. They've got a new stadium
coming, too. Yeah, and that's going to help things,
too. Because with a winning culture, also a new
stadium definitely helps. Oh, yeah. All right.
Treatment of families. They've got the C -. Bears
provide daycare during home games and family
room during home games. There was one team, their
family meeting room for after the game was a
tent in the parking lot. Oh, I know. I can't
remember which team that was. Who was it? Yeah,
I mean, you're a multi -billion dollar sports
franchise, and the team's family gets to go stand
around in a tent in the parking lot. I can't
remember who the hell that was now. The ones
we've already covered I left at home, but I believe
it was an NFC team. Post -game area, 7 out of
10. Me? Food, dining area, C+. Taste of the team's
food is a 7 .6 out of a 10. Freshness of their
food is a 7 .4 out of a 10. The 7 .4 is 24 out
of 32 teams. And the 7 .6 of the rate of the
food is 10 out of a ranking of 23. So that's
not too bad. Nutritionist, dietician, B. 71 %
of players reported they get an individualized
nutrition plan, ranking them 26 out of 32. The
players believe their dietician is moderately
accessible, a ranking of 22 out of 32. Moderately
accessible. Moderately. That's not very good.
Must not pick up the phone all the time. Must
be busy. Busy man. Hang on. I've got to check
this guy's mashed potatoes. I'll be right with
you. The sodium content's getting a little crazy
here. Hang on, I'll be back a little bit later.
I'm going to fly to Idaho and source some better
potatoes. Yes. I'm checking in the Himalayan
pink salt. I'll be right back. Locker room, A
-. Eighth out of 32 teams. It's a shame they'll
have to leave it behind when they're moving to
the new stadium. I know. 94 % of players feel
they have enough room in their individual lockers.
10 out of 32 is their rank. 100 % of players
believe locker room size is adequate, making
Bears one of five teams 100 % with a perfect
score. Wow. The Chiefs did pretty poorly with
their locker rooms, as I recall. Yeah, we did.
Evidently, they bumped elbows quite a bit. Yeah.
I mean, we've got a stadium that was built in
1972, so that's, what, 53 years ago? Yeah. So
there's some basic architecture there they have
to work around. Well, if we get the stadium in
Johnson County, you're going to look for a really,
really high facility. Yeah. I don't think that
Kansas City can afford it. In a lot of ways,
I don't think Kansas City should try to afford
it. If Johnson County slash Overland Park slash
whatever can afford the stadium and the facilities
and all that, I don't care. Look, I mean, our
paved roads are about like gravel roads in certain
areas. And our crime is out of control. We have
bigger issues. Absolutely. But we want to keep
the Chiefs in the Kansas City area, so I think
it's only the smart thing to do is relinquish
them to Johnson County. Why not? Yeah. I mean,
I would love to see the stadium that come up,
but they're talking about a retractable roof.
That way we can get a Super Bowl. Yeah. God bless
them. I hope they get it. It helps when you don't
define your manhood based on whether you have
an NFL team in your city. Yeah. That really helps.
Yeah, it does. If you don't do that. Yes. And
right now, if a city was to get rid of a team
so successful in a dynasty, that would be horrendous.
Yeah. That would probably be one of the dumbest
things ever done by a city. Yeah. But we've been
pretty good about doing dumb things. Yeah. All
right. Training room, it got cut off, but 86
% of Bears players feel they have enough full
-time trainers, so 19 out of 32. 84 % of players
feel they have enough full -time physical therapists,
ranking them 18 out of 32. Probably a B range
group. Yeah, they have enough hot tub space,
4 out of 32. And the Bears have one of four teams
with a perfect score about cold tub space. So,
evidently, they have a lot of ice. Yeah, go chip
some chunks of ice out of Lake Michigan and bring
them into the locker room. This one's got a carp
in it. They have trucks that do that. This one's
got a chunk of the Edmund Fitzgerald in it. Hey,
let that thing melt a little bit. Let's get that
out of there and then chunk it up. Oh wait, wrong
lake. It wasn't Michigan. Does that look like
sewage? Oh, they must have went to Joliet. Let's
hope that that's just a freeze -dried burrito.
All right. Training staff is a B. That looks
especially like a cornback rattler. I don't know.
Don't lick it. No, Virginia, you must not put
your lips upon it. All right. Training staff,
B. 17th out of 32 teams. 85 % of Bears players
receive enough one -on -one training, ranking
them 20 out of 32. Players feel the training
staff's moderate lead contributes to their overall
success, 13 out of 32. Weight room, they got
an A. The players report the weight room equipment
is high quality, ranking them 7 out of 32 teams.
The players feel they have more than enough space
in their weight room, a ranking out of 6 out
of 32. Strength coaches B +, 20th out of 32 teams.
98 % of players report that they get individualized
training. Training plan, 6 out of 32. And the
players feel their strength coaches moderately
contribute to their overall success, 26 out of
32. Not very well, but yeah. I'm not sure what
this B is about. It's kind of off. Team travel.
Oh, okay. It's right after strength coaches.
Okay, thank you. 84 % of Bears feel they have
a comfortable amount of personal space on team
flight, 22 out of 32. The players feel their
team's travel schedule is somewhat efficient,
ranking them 6 out of 32, but we also stated
they have two hubs and they're in the middle
of the country, so they should do well. Head
coach, C. I'm not even going to read that because
he's gone. They got a new one. All right, what
is the next one up there after head coach? Ownership.
Okay, ownership. The McCaskey family's average,
they got an A-, rating for perceived willingness,
and that is 13th out of 32 teams. Their willingness
to invest in facilities, 9 .3 out of 10. The
Bears players are ranking at 14 out of 32 owners
in the league. And that's a turnaround because
I remember in the 80s, the Bears ownership was
considered to be pretty much hands -off and didn't
want to invest. Yeah, I remember that. And it
was still the McCaskies back then. So they've
made improvements in how much they're willing
to invest. And it makes sense because... In the
80s, you could make a certain amount off an NFL
franchise. Now you can make way more off of it,
you know, multiple times as much. So it's a worthwhile
investment now. And only the idiots are not investing
in their teams. Yeah. Like Woody Johnson. Like
Woody Johnson, yeah. And whoever it is that owns
the Arizona Cardinals. Oh. Who are dead last.
And it shows. It does show. Well, number one,
their market. Nobody gives a shit about football
there. It's such a bad place to put it. They're
retired and they're in golf carts going around
their neighborhood. The players feel that McCaskey
family moderately contributes to a positive team
culture, ranking them 15 out of 32. So no rah
-rah from him. No. The players feel McCaskey's
family is extremely committed to building a competitive
team and rank 14 out of 32. And I would agree
with that. They always go for what they think
is the best pick. They try to hire. the coach
that they think is the best coach, they really
don't skimp on that. No, no. They've just been
hitting it wrong. Yeah. Instead of hitting a
bullseye, they've been hitting the outer ring
of 10. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But that's a good way
to put it. They're trying. They're just not succeeding
yet, but they're still trying. They're trying
to do what's best with it, and they'll get it.
I mean, they'll figure it out. Sooner or later,
they're going to get that magic potion. They're
going to figure it out. And it might be this
year. We'll see. Okay, Chicago Bears overall
ranking 20 -25. Yeah. This is 14, and it doesn't
tell what... Yeah, this is pretty much the end
of this. Cut a bunch of stuff off. Where's the
gun pile? I'm just grabbing it over here. Oh,
okay. You just turn them upside down. I've got
the Tampa Bay Buccaneers up next. By the way,
how many stacks of paper, computer paper, did
you use on these things? 32 teams. It was about
11 pages per, so... About 400 pages. 400 pages.
Okay, so that's about half of a stack of paper.
Yeah, I had to go in there and feed the printer
several times. Oh, me too. I hate it. Then he
gets that error. It's like, hey, I got nothing.
Oh, shit. Hang on, hang on. Mine flashes a red
light and just kind of stares at me. Yeah. Hey.
So, anyhow. Buccaneers. Let's see. The good side
is... They consistently highlight the support
staff and the strength coaches who always earn
high grades. This time they got a year, an A.
The team improved its treatment of players' families
from an F to a C -. And the big change they made
is the year before, they were charging players
daycare for their kids. Now they stopped charging
by the child for daycare. God, I would think.
That is just, yeah. You watch your owner drive
up in this half a million dollar car and he can't
pay for your kid's daycare while you go to work
and earn him money. Think of all the money that
you make this person and then they charge you
for daycare. I'd be like, I don't know about
this. You might as well charge them for the water
they drink out of the water fountain. Yeah. Anyway,
that was enough to bring them from an F to a
C -. It was just they quit charging him for daycare.
Yeah. But they still want better food quality,
more variety in the cafeteria. Another major
concern is locker room cleanliness. Oh. 44 %
of players report ongoing plumbing issues and
persistent bad odors in the locker room. That's
not good. This is an NFL franchise that recently
won a Super Bowl. Yeah. And they have a locker
room that smells like a campground toilet. Well,
part of that Raymond James Stadium is a dump.
It is. It's awful. It's just bad. So food and
dining, daycare, etc. They've got a good score
in training staff and weight room. B, strength
coaches, A. So we'll skip ahead to team travel.
They've got a C-, which is odd because you'd
think there'd be a lot of flights in and out
of Tampa. Yeah, but they say only 65 % of the
players believe they have enough personal space
on the flight itself. Wow. And they rank the
team's travel schedule as somewhat efficient.
Head coach got a B+. They say he's receptive
to locker room feedback, efficient with their
time. He reserves a perfect score, one of six
coaches across the league. Wow. Okay. But ownership
is a D+. The Glazer family's average rating for
perceived willingness to invest in the facilities
is 6 .5 out of 10. Wow, I thought it'd be a little
bit higher than that, but okay. Yeah. I think
if they would get a new stadium... That would
go a long way towards fixing that score. I think
you're right. Exactly. Ray J is a dump, and it's
been proven to be a dump, and it's been around
for a long time, and they do. They need to come
up with another facility. Yep. But I think them
and Tampa are at a standstill right now. Yeah.
And I don't think St. Petersburg has enough money.
So it's going to be interesting to see what happens.
I don't think they're going to leave the area.
But they've got some finagling to do. They've
got to figure this shit out. All right, because
they're not going to continue to play there.
That's all there is to it. I mean, they're going
to have to get out of there. Madden football
has nothing to do with real life, but when you
fire up the game and you're in owner mode, there
are certain teams that you can move the team
right away. The stadium is so bad, and Tampa
Bay's been hitting that list for several years
now. I can believe that. Washington was another
one. Oh, yeah, that's an old stadium. The problem
with Washington is I think they'd have to do
it in the offseason. There's no room up there,
none at all. They'd have to tear down the existing
one and then put up one right there. Yeah, it'd
be the thing where they'd have to play a year
somewhere else, like a nearby college stadium
or something. Unless they go way out in the bird
somewhere. That's the way it's going to have
to be is that. All right, Baltimore Ravens, 13th
out of 32 teams. Top half. Yeah. All right, once
again, Baltimore Ravens finish in the middle
of the pack. No significant weaknesses. Treatment
of family, C +, that's 17th. Food, dining area,
B, that's 14th. Nutritionist, dietician, B, that's
20th. Let me get this page here that's kind of
stuck together. Okay. Training staff, B-, that's
22nd. Yeah. Weight room, B +, that's 15th. Strength
coaches, B +, that's 22nd. Team travel, A-, and
they're on a coast. Yeah. That's pretty good,
11th. Head coach, a B, they're 28th. So John
Harbaugh is kind of, I don't know, man. They're
not, like, really that favorable of them. It's
28. Wow. I mean, but it is a B score, so. Yeah,
that shows that most of the coaches are getting
a B. Yeah. Yeah, so, yeah, most of them are.
And ownership is an A, and they're ranked ninth.
So that's pretty good. Okay, treatment of families
is C+. It's cut off, so I don't know quite why
it's a C+. They organize family events several
times a year, ranking 21 out of 32. Postgame
is rated 7 .6 out of 10. Players express a desire
for better, more direct communication between
the team and their families. All right, food
and dining area, they have a B. They're 14th
out of 32nd. The Ravens ranked the taste of their
food 8 .16 out of 10 and 16 out of 32 ranking.
Wow. You would not necessarily keep going back
to a restaurant that only was like 8 to 8 .5
out of 10. No, no, no, no. That would be like,
oh, they were okay. Yeah. That wouldn't be like
they were horrible. It would be like they were
okay. Yeah. That's really it. I mean, it's like,
yeah. They rate the freshness of their food 8.
8 .50 out of the 10. 14 out of 32nd, which isn't
that good. The players rate their dining area
8 .6 out of 10. That is number 16 out of 32.
Nutritionists and dieticians, 20th out of 32
teams. 81 % of the players say they get individualized
nutrition plans. That's 21 out of 32. The players
believe their team's dietician is very accessible.
21 out of 32. Again. Locker room, B minus. That's
17th out of 32 teams. 68 % of players feel they
have enough room in their individual lockers,
a ranking of 26 out of 32. 87 % of players believe
the locker room size is adequate, ranking the
Ravens 18 out of 32 again. They're not doing
bad. No, they're doing okay. They're better in
the middle of the pack, mostly. All right. What
is the next one? Because this is cut off. After
food and dining. Training room. Training room
is training staff. Okay. Oh, wait. You said weight
room. Training room. Training room. Okay. Training
staff. Okay. 92 % of Ravens feel they have enough
full -time trainers, ranking them 12 out of 32.
93 % of players feel they have enough full -time
physical therapists, a rank 4 out of 32. 73 %
of players feel they have enough hot tub space,
ranking them 23 out of 32. 75 % of players feel
they have enough cold tub space, a rank of 24
out of 32. Yeah, not very well there. Training
staff, a B -. 87 % of the Ravens players responded
that they receive enough one -on -one training,
ranking them 18 out of 32. The players feel their
training staff slightly contributes to their
overall success, ranking them 28 out of 32. Slightly
is not very good. Slightly is not very good.
Yeah. And what is the next one after that? After
training staff? Yes. Feels. I'll find a better
website next year. Oh, well. Weight room. We're
getting the point across, I believe. Okay, B
+, 15th out of 32 teams. The players can leave
their weight room equipment. Quality is good,
15 out of 32. The players feel they have adequate
space in their weight room, 12 out of 32. Strength
coaches, B +, 22nd out of 32 teams. 91 % of players
think they get an individualized training plan.
From the strength coach, 22 out of 32, which
isn't bad. The Ravens players feel they have
the strength coaches moderately contribute to
their overall success, 20 out of 32. The next
one. Team travel. 95%. They got an A-, 11th out
of 32, 95%. The Ravens feel they have a comfortable
amount of personal space on team flights, ranking
them 7 out of 32, which is good. Again, you're
not too far from D .C., and there's like... 500
airports in that area. Yeah, that's true. They
could go out as a small one and probably get
out in 10 minutes. The players believe their
team's travel schedule is somewhat efficient
and rank 14 out of 32 teams. Older players appreciate
their head coach allows them to stay at home
before the home games instead of sleeping at
the team hotel. Nice. That is good. I remember
the Chiefs... Pre -game hotel for home games.
They ranked it as really awful. Oh, I remember
that. And we're like thinking it's like the one
right next to Arrowhead, that run -down piece
of crap. Yeah. Okay. Head coach, B. 75 % of the
Ravens players feel their head coach, John Harbaugh,
is efficient with their time. A rank 28 out of
32. And players feel that Harbaugh is moderately
receptable to feedback from the locker room.
Moderately. 25 out of 32. So he doesn't listen
very well. Nah. Yeah, he seems headstrong. Yeah.
What's the next one? Ownership. All right. Owner
Steve Biscotti. An average perceived willingness.
I wonder if his family had anything to do with
those delicious breakfast treats. Could be. Let's
go dunk him in some hot coffee and see what happens.
Hey, Biscotti. You know, he got a lot of shit
going on. Do you think Biscotti was on the Star
Trek? Yes, I think so. Beam me up, Biscotti.
You know, he probably heard everything. Oh, I'm
sure. Yeah. All right. Owner Steve Biscotti's
average rating for perceived willingness. I think
he's Italian, maybe. I don't know. Maybe it's
Steve Buscemi and they just didn't want to say
it. That's it. Yeah, I read something about that.
The willingness to invest in facilities is 9
out of 28 out of 10. Wow. Yeah, that's pretty
good. So Biscotti's doing something well besides
dunking in coffee, isn't he? Yeah. A ranking
9 out of 32 owners in the league, so he did all
right. He must have some pretty good coffee.
The players filled biscotti significantly contributes
to a positive team culture. A rank 8 out of 32.
The rest are more fond of Pop -Tarts. That's
right. And who doesn't love Pop -Tarts? Oh, really?
They're delicious little pieces of toast from
heaven. There's only a few of them that are non
-dairy that I can eat. Yeah, I'm sorry. If I
buy a box, I eat the whole thing all at once,
so I just don't buy them. You know what? I don't
blame you. They're damn good, aren't they? Yes.
And the fact that you can throw them in a toaster
and they pop out delicious is amazing. Hey, I'm
old enough. I remember Pop -Tarts before they
were frosted. And you talk one dry, cardboard
-tasting piece of crap. I think I remember that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Those were awful. Those were
so bad. Especially the off -brand ones my parents
would buy. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just like
the off -brand sodas. One was Canfield's, I believe.
Oh, that shit was horrible. Oh, yeah. We'd go
to the lake and they're like, hey, let's get
some orange pop. And I'm like, no, no, no, no.
Not that one. Oh, no. Oh, no. That was the cheapest.
Fuck. But you can use that to clean your battery
terminals. Oh, it did very well. And I hear it
is effective against the clap. Bull weevil clap
or just a regular clap? Oh, no, no. Bull weevil
clap is there. Oh, that's the big stuff. Oh,
yeah. I've got to retell that story. You know
that a lot of our podcasts don't exist anymore.
Oh, gosh. Yeah. It's like last of the second
season or first of the third season. Yeah, it
only takes so many on RSS, and all the other
ones feed off of that. So we probably have, I
don't know, maybe 60 of them non -existent. Gosh,
I'll have to go through the archives and see
if I have any of them. Yeah, what I'd like to
do is if I could get them all downloaded, I will
make best ofs in all of them. That way we consolidate,
and I'll go all the way up to the season that
we're on. Nice. And then that way they get a
pretty good idea of everything on there, and
it's consolidated where it'll fit everything.
Yeah. We'll have to see if our storm special
is still up. I think it is because it's got its
own little section. I hope so because, man, that
thing is excellent. I can repost that one. I
got that one. Okay. All right. The player's field,
Biscotti, is extremely committed to building
a competitive team. I rank 9 out of 32 teams.
And the overall ranking is not on there. Okay.
That is all I have with this one. All right.
Yeah, the rest, I don't know what it's saying.
It's just like ancillary crap. Yeah. Well, I'm
going to do two kind of together because... They
both mostly have good ratings, but one or two
bad ones. Okay. The first one is the Broncos.
They had an overall ranking of 17. And they got
A's and B's in everything except treatment of
families. And they got a C - there. And the big
reason is they're another team where their post
-game family area is out in the parking lot,
regardless of the weather. I still cannot believe
that they do that. Cheap -ass motherfucker. The
players are constantly harping on this. In Denver,
during the early season, it's damn hot out in
that parking lot. In the late season, it's frickin'
cold and snowy and icy. In Denver, all of them.
And the players and their families have to go
stand in a tent in the parking lot for their
postgame. Jeez. Because Denver's cheap. Man,
no wonder they've been having problems landing
free agents. Everything else on the report card
is A's and B's. But treatment of family is crap.
That's horrible. So I guess if you're a young
single guy with no kids, Denver's a fine place
to play. But if you've got a family you care
about, no. Wow. And the second one's the Tennessee
Titans, who are ranked just above them in the
16th. Again, B's and A's in just about everything.
But the reason that they turned it around, the
biggest change was they hired Ainsley Moore as
director of player and family affairs. They boosted
their family treatment grade from a D -plus to
a B -plus. That's good. And they jumped their
team travel grade from an F to a B because first
-year head coach flipped the seating chart and
said, players, now you get first class. Coaches
and staff. You're back in economy. I love that.
Yep. That's great. But up until last year, the
Titans players had to fly economy while the coaches
sat in first class. That's such a bad precedent.
I wouldn't play for a team like that. I would
not play for a team like that. No. It's like
I'm sitting out a year, find a place to trade
me. Wow. Yeah, I would too. I'd be like, no way
I'm going to that cheap bastard. And then I'm
trying to go through the last thing. He's just
hit the highlights. Okay. Report card of the
Dallas Cowboys. Oh, I can't wait to see what
they think of their owner. Well, they're 10th
out of 32 teams, and that's what my hesitation.
I'm like, am I reading this correct? They're
overall 10th? Overall 10th. Wow. That's much
better than I ever thought. Yeah, they should
have good facilities. Yeah, and Brian Schottenheimer
is going to do nothing but improve that whole
thing. Okay. Let me go bet everything I have
on him. I'm still flabbergasted and befuddled
and in awe of such a stupid move. It must be
that Jerry Jones can fit his hand right up the
back of Brian Schottenheimer's back and move
his mouth for him with his hand. He blows in
everything, and Brian Schottenheimer's like,
okay, okay, because of what did you say? Yeah,
just like Jerry Jones, tell me what to say. He's
got his hand up his back moving his mouth like
a ventriloquist dummy. Yeah, yeah, no clout at
all, just like him. It's like, I'm Jerry Jones,
you're Brian Schottenheimer. We know the pecking
order here, so act as such. Jerry found someone
who was just happy to be there. And that's him.
Yep. He'll do whatever Jerry Jones tells him,
no matter how disastrous it is. They finish this
season in the top ten, excelling in several areas.
So we're just going to go right to it. The ranking
breakdown, food, dining area, B +, 11. Nutrition,
dietitian, B plus, 17th. Locker room, A, 6th.
Training room, C, 27th. Training staff, C, 30th.
Weight room, A minus, 11th. Strength coaches,
B plus, 18th. Team travel, B minus, 23rd. I would
have expected it to have been a little bit better
than 23rd because they are in the middle and
they have two huge hubs. Yeah. You know, they've
got Love and they've got DFW, which goes everywhere.
So, head coach A, they like McCarthy, who isn't
there anymore. Ownership B, 18th. Oh, McCarthy
was 14th out of overall. The Cowboys provide
daycare during home games. Players rate the postgame
family area 9 out of 5 out of 10. 2 out of 32
teams. The players feel this team frequently
organizes family events, which ranks 1 out of
32 teams. Food and dining area, B+. 8 .26 out
of 10. 8 .58 out of 10 on the freshness. And
9 .14 out of 10 players rate the dining area.
So they got a B +, 17 out of 32 teams. 73 % of
players report they get individualized nutrition
plan. The players feel their team dietician is
very accessible, 9 out of 32. Locker room A,
I'm leaving some of this out because it really
doesn't matter. I'm just telling them what they
think of them. Locker room A, 6 out of 32. 95
% of players feel they have enough room in their
individual lockers, a ranking of 8 out of 32,
and they should. They have that brand new stadium.
Yeah, who spent the money on that stadium? Yeah,
so they should. However, center players believe
the locker room size is adequate, so they did
that okay, too, making the Cowboys one of five
teams in the NFL with a perfect score. Nice.
The plumbing is ranked high. Oh, okay. It just
left that on its own, but it got off after that.
All I could see was the plumbing was ranked high,
and I couldn't see anything else. So the toilets
don't back up. Yeah. Okay. So good. I'm not sure
what the next one is. After a locker room or
what? Locker room. Training staff? Okay. 75 %
of players feel they have enough full -time trainers.
60 % of players feel they have enough physical
therapists. Hot tub space is great with 95%.
88 % of players say they have enough cold stuff
or cold space. Cold tub space, yeah. Okay, training
staff is C, 30th out of 32 teams. 72 % say they
get enough one -on -one treatment. Weight room,
A-, they report the equipment is high quality,
11 out of 32. They feel they have more than enough
space to train in their weight room, 10 out of
32. Strength coaches, B +, 18th out of 32. The
Cowboys feel their strength coaches moderately
contribute to their overall success. Team travel,
B -. 81 % believe they have a comfortable amount
of personal space on team flights. 24 out of
32. The players feel team travel is somewhat
efficient. A rank 17 out of 32. Head coach, an
A. 14 out of 32. So an A doesn't really mean
that much because that's middle of the... Yeah.
Okay. The players feel that McCarthy was highly
receptive to locker room feedback. No fat jokes.
Rating him 11 out of 32. Ownership. 18th out
of 32 gives him a B. Jerry Jones. Amazing. I'm
not even reading that. That's bullshit. I know.
I don't understand how they can give him a B
rating when he is the single most destructive
force in that franchise. He's the main reason
they're not winning championships. Right now
I'm questioning this whole thing. I know. It's
ridiculous. Yeah. How could that guy get a high
score? How? I don't get it. He's done nothing
but screwed up the team. Yeah. Okay, all right.
I don't know. All right, well, Jacksonville Jaguars.
They surprisingly got B's and A's in just about
everything. Okay. They got a C for head coach
because they felt Doug Peterson wouldn't listen
to anybody. Okay. He wasted a lot of their time
and just didn't want to hear what they had to
say. Treatment of families, F. Dead Solid F.
They do provide daycare during home games, but
their post -game family area is ranked 5 .4 out
of 10. Oh, my God. Yeah. The treatment of families
is the team's lowest -graded category. They believe
that many changes need to be made. More access
to sideline passes so they can actually see their
families before the game. During the game, players
want to... That's pretty good. That's a good
one. During the game, players want a family room
so their families can escape the heat and allow
mothers to change or nurse their babies. There
is none. They're just on their own. You've got
to go do wherever you are or go stand in a stinky
bathroom to do it. Whatever, yeah. That's, yeah.
And their post -game family is crap. Their post
-game family area is crap. Their food got a C
+, because it's just not very fresh. And the
taste is bad. But their dining area is really,
really nice. It's just when you go there to eat,
the food's crap. So that's kind of the highlights
of the Jaguars. They're actually doing a lot
of things right, but they're doing a few things
really, really, really, really poorly. Yeah.
Do you want to do the rest of them next time
and do a little game I call forward -backward?
Yes. Okay. We're going to do the Western Division.
Okay. Okay, I'm going to mention a team. And
you say you think they're going to move forward
or backward this next year. Ooh, I like this.
I do too. Let's start at the bottom feeder, Oakland
Raiders. Or not Oakland, Las Vegas. I think they're
going to take a step ahead. Me too. I definitely
do. They put a lot of good pieces in place. I
think so also. So Oakland, Las Vegas Raiders
are going to take a step forward. Do you have
an idea of what? What position they'll be in?
First, second, third, fourth? I'm going to put
them third. I think they're going to finish above
either Los Angeles or Denver, but I'm not sure
which one. Yeah. I'm going to put them third,
and they're going to have at least a winning
record. Yeah, I think so, too. I think it might
be nine and eight. Yeah. And that's probably
it, or it could be... It could be eight and nine.
Eight and nine, yeah. That's pretty close to
a winning record. It's the closest you can get.
Okay. You know, I'm going to go ahead and put
them fourth again. Okay. But they're going to
have a group. But they're going to be a better
team. Yeah, the Western Division is going to
be tough. Yeah. So, I mean, look at everybody
that was hired to beat Reed and Mahomes. Pete
Carroll. Yeah. Super Bowl winner. Tom Brady is
now on board. Yeah, many Super Bowl winner. Okay,
so not only Pete Carroll was hired, but also
you have Jim Harbaugh, who's been in the Super
Bowl. And then you have Sean Payton, who has
won a Super Bowl and been to many playoff games.
All these guys are going against Andy Reid and
Patrick Mahomes. So it's going to be a very tough
division. It will. And I think getting home field
advantage is going to be hard to from here on
out. Fortunately, the Chiefs really don't need
home field advantage to succeed in the playoffs.
Actually, they did better in playoffs. Yeah,
they did pretty well when they were on the road.
Yeah, they did very well. Part of that is Mahomes,
he doesn't seem to have nerves. Yeah. He just
gets out there and does the same thing. Yeah.
Unless he's flat on his back. Yeah. So, yeah,
the Raiders, I think, are going to be fourth,
but I think it's going to be 9 -8, 8 -9, and
that's just because the strength of the division.
Yeah. I would give them a leap forward, but I
think the other two teams are going to take a
leap forward, too. Yeah. So, all right, then
let's go to the Chargers. Okay, I think they're
going to take a step back. I'm going to put them
fourth. You know, I think they're going to take
a step back, too, but I think it's still going
to be they're going to win the tiebreaker is
what I think between them, and it might be a
9 -8, 8 -9 situation. Oh, it could be, yeah.
But, I mean, either one of those could be interchangeable
and would not surprise me at all if Vegas finished
above them. Yeah. I'm kind of thinking Justin
Herbert's going to have a little... crisis of
confidence this year and he's going to have a
bad season. That would make sense. They're not
going to want to pull him. They're going to try
to let him struggle through. I think he's going
to have a really bad year and it's going to drag
the team down. The second coming of Patrick Mahomes
is really not looking like the second coming
of Patrick Mahomes. I cannot count how many...
Kind of looks like the second coming of Jackson
Mahomes. Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, that was bad. I'm
sorry. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So he's getting businesses
closed down, allegedly. So, all right. Yeah,
I look at Justin Herbert the way back in 85.
The Patriots had a quarterback named Tony Eason
who was supposed to be the next big thing, and
then he got into the Super Bowl against the Bears
and was destroyed, and he was never the same
again. No. The only thing is I don't look for
the Chargers to even make the Super Bowl. No.
But same thing. Yeah, I think Herbert's going
to have a bad year, and Harbaugh's not going
to know what to do about it until too late. No,
I know. I think that he is just not as much as
they thought he was. He's great. if he's cheating,
allegedly in college. Yeah, yeah. When you're
in college and you're bossing around 18 to 20
-year -old young men, that's very different from
bossing around 21 to 35 -year -old men who are
so rich they can buy and sell you. Yes. And they
just don't give a damn. And they're going to
be like, okay, great, you got a championship
with Michigan. So. Yeah. Yeah. So the next one
is the Denver Broncos. Okay, I think they are
going to take a step forward. I think so too.
And they're going to finish first or second.
Very well could be. I'm giving Denver a reasonable
chance to win the division over the Chiefs. Could
be. They're a younger team. They're a hungrier
team. There were so many games in the last even
two years that the Chiefs were just like really
damn lucky to win. And if those start going not
the Chiefs' way, Denver could easily sweep ahead
and win the division. So I'm looking at Denver
to take a step forward and finish either first
or second. I'm keeping Denver in second place
just because of the Mahomes -Reed factor. I think
that Denver is going to do really well, but they
just cannot do it. against the Chiefs like no
one has been able to. Yeah, that might be a confidence
thing as well. I think some of that is, yeah.
Their quarterback, I mean, great. I like it,
yeah. I like Bo Nix a lot. Nix is fantastic,
and I think that he's going to continue to do
well, and he will decide in the next couple of
years whether he's the guy that takes the team
on the back or not. Right now, it's possible.
It's in the equation, but it is still undetermined.
Yeah. We're going to find out more when they
get to some crucial games at the end of the season
and playoff games. Yeah, absolutely. And that's
going to determine, to me, the next five years
of how they do against the Chiefs. I mean, because
if you look at the Chiefs, they're just trying
to stay put with defense and they're loading
up on offense. So their defense might take a
step back, but their offense looks to me like
they're taking a couple of steps forward. Yeah,
that was a pretty low -scoring season last season.
Yeah, and they still – One lost one game, essentially.
The other one was backups. It's like none or
almost none games over 30 points. Yeah, and they
still won them all. So I look for the defense
to do well again. But I also think that the offense
is going to take a step or two forward. Yeah,
another 10 points a game would be really nice.
I think you'll see that happen, not in every
game, but I think you're going to see that happen
in a lot of games. So I'm going to say that the
Chiefs are probably going to be 13 -4. As odd
as that sounds with their schedule, last year
would I have ever picked 15 -1? Hell no. Well,
15 -2, but no. No, I would have been like, no
way. Especially their play. I've been like, there's
no way. I picked them 15 -2 last year. Oh, you
did, didn't you? I did, yeah. Okay. And I thought
you were nuts. Yeah. Okay. I think you're going
to have 13 -4 because every game the ball isn't
going to bounce in the right direction. Yeah.
And I think that that's going to be tied or close
to getting home field advantage. We'll see. We've
got to see because Buffalo seems to be making
more moves, and they're not fucking around. They
want to be the guy. So that's one thing. And
Josh Allen has a limited lifespan left, just
like Mahomes has a limited lifespan left. It's
like you can't wait any longer to start your
dynasty. You've just got to go now. Something
I'm noticing right now, Mahomes is starting to
keep in a little bit better shape. Why is that?
Because he's hitting 30 years old. Yeah. And
he knows. He looked back and looked at Tom Brady.
Tom Brady, the older he got, the more strenuous
his workouts were because he knew you're going
to lose a certain amount each year, so you've
got to stay ahead of the game. Mahomes is that
smart. Yeah. And he's starting, I notice, he's
starting to work out more. He cut his hair a
little bit, kind of got a little bit different
look now. I think that he's going to be the serious
guy that's going to be kind of buff. I mean,
he's already maybe one of the best ever, easily.
And the study of the motion of the human body
and the way our systems work together is advanced
so much that you can tailor a workout to not
only the position he plays and how he plays it,
but the age he is. So you make sure you don't
hurt or strain anything because a 30 -year -old's
workout shouldn't be the same as a 20 -year -old's
workout. No, and they know this. And also, I'm
pretty sure that Mahomes probably has his own
trainer. He'd be smart to, yeah. And I don't
know if the team pays for it for him, but I'm
sure he has one guy or two or three dedicated
to him only. I would say he probably pays them
himself. That way he knows they're working for
him and not the team. Yes. I agree. So Denver,
10 -7, could be 11 -6 easily. Yeah. Okay, so
I pick the Chiefs number one, and you pick them
one or two, right? Yeah. I'm looking for a race
at the end of the season for the AFC West title
between Denver and Kansas City. I haven't seen
the schedule yet to see what kind of games are
late in the season, but they generally try to
pack the end of the season with some pretty significant
games that are going to affect people's playoff
seedings. Yeah, playoffs. Playoffs. So that's
what I'm kind of looking for. I see the Chiefs
doing about as well this coming season as they
did last season, but as you said, in a slightly
different way. The defense will be all right.
Offense is going to pick up a little more. But
everybody's a year older. I think it's going
to take a toll. I'm giving Kelsey a bounce back
here. I could see that, yeah. Worthy is so fast.
Hollywood Brown is a speedster. You have a bunch
of other components, and plus probably a new
running back, too, that they're going to draft.
And you have Hunt, and you might have Pacheco.
You're going to get Rice back probably halfway
through the season. Yeah, Rushie Rice. They're
saying maybe the first of the season now. Oh,
okay. Rasheed is definitely, he's saying, I'm
going to be back the full season. And supposedly
his progress is good enough to where it's in
the cards. Could be. Yeah. You know, there's
the injury plus the legal issues. Yeah. And as
far as the legal issues go, whatever the courts
decide for him, you know, that has to happen.
But the NFL can decide to just give him a slap
on the wrist. If they really want him to play.
I look for them to do that because he is a high
-caliber player and they want to see what he
can do. And I kind of think that they're going
to be like, look, nobody was killed. They're
figuring all this out in courts. Nobody's really
freaked out about it. Let's just go ahead and
keep it low. Let this guy play. Remember how
difficult it was for the league to suspend Tom
Brady for a couple three games? Yeah. They hated
doing that because the ratings plummeted because
Brady wasn't on TV. so they learned their lesson
there is you know if this player does something
really ugly and horrible let's keep him playing
and just figure out a way to sell it and schmooze
it and spin it i agree yeah yeah so they kind
of like uh but i mean the real atrocity wasn't
to play gate it was spy game yeah and they hid
that under the rug with something else yeah and
that was it so Yeah, they didn't want him going
away because if they went away, a lot of the
ratings went away because everybody was waiting
for him to get their ass kicked, which happened
a couple of times and not that much. Plus, there's
still a ton of money to be made on talking about
the Patriots dynasty and doing shows about it.
And if you tarnish that legacy, no one's going
to be interested and you've lost all that money
-making opportunity. Yeah, they're going to go,
yeah, you know what, that was just bullshit because
they cheated. It's like how they covered up Bob
Saget's death. Oh, yeah, that's right. Because
if they had revealed exactly the bizarre, weird,
and creepy circumstances under which he died,
nobody would watch the reruns of his show anymore.
No, that's true. And there's revenue gone. Isn't
that that pervert? Yeah. So they sanitized the
method of his death so people would still watch
his TV show reruns. Yeah. Would they do that?
You're damn right they would. Why wouldn't they?
There's money to be made. Why wouldn't they?
They don't give a shit about him. They never
did. Or the family. No. They certainly don't
care about us and telling us the truth. Oh, hell
no. They lie to us routinely, and they think
it's funny. All right, Chiefs 14 -3, 13 -4, even
11 possibly. Any of those would not surprise
me in that range. Yeah, I'm kind of seeing the
Chiefs and the Chargers in the range between
12 -5 and 14 -3. Chargers or Broncos? I mean,
I'm sorry, Broncos. Okay. So I think you're pointing.
I have an old man brain. Yeah. I think a lot
of this is going to depend on Bo Nix. Yeah. They're
going to depend on the running game that they
have. If it's still successful, then Bo Nix is
going to have a better season. Another thing
is the receivers that they're going to draft.
And I don't know if they're going to pick up
any, but I expect them to get him some help.
Yeah. And they're like, you did pretty good,
but we're going to get you some help, and we're
going to try to get you over the top. We're going
to try to get you to that next level. We're going
to try to get you in the top six or five. I remember
the Broncos having a punishing running game when
they were making it to the Super Bowls. Well,
when they won Super Bowls, they did. When they
lost Super Bowls, they did not. And that was
John Elway's army. No defense, no running game.
Yeah, yeah. And every year they get their ass
kicked in the Super Bowl. Nobody enjoyed that.
Yeah, but at least they made it to the Super
Bowl, not like other teams. Yeah. All right.
I just wanted to cover the Western Division.
Next week we can do another one. Sounds good.
All right. You want to go into the music creeps?
I've got a whole page of NFL records. Oh, good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I forgot about that.
Yes. Now, here are some NFL records that you
really don't want to break. Because, I mean,
I'm not being mean. The NFL actually keeps track
of these records. No, no, no, I love this thing.
These, yeah. Okay, our first one here is the
shortest career as measured in playing time.
Ryan Sutter was a Panther safety. His entire
career was five seconds. He was activated off
the practice squad. sent in for the opening kickoff,
during which he missed a tackle, fell and hurt
his shoulder, and his career was done. Five seconds.
Five seconds. One play. One play. And he missed
the tackle. Oh, my gosh. Poor guy. That's the
Al Bundy. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. All right.
Most arrests by an NFL player. Michael Irvin?
The number is ten. Ten arrests. Adam Pac -Man
Jones and Alden Smith. Wow. Mostly drug and violence
-related charges. There was some trespassing
in there, but most of them were drug and violence
-related. I forgot about Pac -Man. Yeah. He's
cleaned his act up. He is now. Yeah. He eventually
dropped the name Pac -Man during his playing
time. He says, I don't want to be that guy anymore.
Just call me Adam Jones. Just like Andre Rison.
Yeah. No more Bad Moon. What was he after that?
I forgot. Oh, well, it doesn't matter. I can't
remember. But it's funny, when he dropped the
Pac -Man. Spider -Man. Yeah. When he dropped
the Pac -Man, he became Adam Jones, which is
the same name as the guitar player for Tool.
Oh, yeah, that's right. Okay, now the most arrests
as a team since the year 2000, Vikings have had
60. Really? 60 arrests. You wouldn't think of
them as being a high team for the rest because
you don't hear that much about them. Well, a
big chunk of that was that whole party boat thing.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Remember they had the team
party boat and they were giving lots of drugs,
lots of underage girls, lots of date rape going
on. That was a whole Vikings thing. They got
nailed for that one. You don't want to break
that record. No, no. Heaviest player ever for
the NFL. Bears offensive tackle Aaron Gibson
at 410 pounds. Wow. He made the refrigerator
probably look somewhat skinny. Yeah, I remember
William Perry, he was like, he was right around
300 pounds. And people thought that was just
comically obese for any human being. But now
300 pounds for an offensive tackle. That's pretty
normal. Yeah, that's normal. Pretty normal, yeah.
But then again, they're not built like he was
either. I mean, to where it's kind of like a
lot of fat. going over your belt line and all
that. Plus, the players now who are carrying
that weight, they've trained all their lives
and conditioned to carry that, whereas William
Perry basically just ate his brains out and put
on a bunch of fat. And this is self -admitted,
too. He admits to it, so it's not like we're
telling anything new. This one's fun. The shortest
punt ever in NFL history. Oh, this is going to
be good. Remember Sean Landetta of the Eagles?
Thank goodness. 1985 playoffs versus the Giants.
Playoffs. Playoffs. He punted for negative seven
yards. And that's basically how far behind the
line of scrimmage he stands. So that punt must
have gone straight up. And then it came straight
down and was recovered by a Giants player and
returned for a touchdown. Oh my gosh. In the
playoffs. Playoffs. A negative seven -yard punt.
I love it. Oh, my God. I bet you he bought all
of the footage on that. Yeah. Yeah, he did a
Tom Hanks. He's like, I'm never making the Hall
of Fame now. I might as well just give it up.
Yep, that's it. But I'll bet you that football
is probably in the Hall of Fame. I bet it is,
too. I'll bet it is. This is the minus seven
football. Hey, come here. Everybody, take it.
Nobody's ever done this before. Oh, shit. Shit,
shit, shit, shit, shit. That's all right. It
worked. Okay. It's all right. Well, sorry about
that. Let's see if I've got a napkin or something.
Okay, I'll go get a couple. All right, we'll
hit pause here. Okay, excitement's over. Yeah,
a little Cubano spillage there. Curtis and me.
All right, where were we? Okay, next one. The
only NFL team to lose a game to the CFL. I didn't
know that was possible. They used to play exhibition
games. But let's see. The Buffalo Bills lost
an exhibition game to the Hamilton Tiger Caps
38 -21. Does it have the quarterback's name on
there? It does not. Oh, that's too bad. First
half they played by the CFL rules. Second half
they played by NFL rules. How confusing is that?
That, yeah. I don't blame anyone for losing that
way. I'd be like, I'm not even going to. Now
here's the fun part for me. The game was played
on August 8, 1961. That is the exact day I was
born. Oh, wow. Just up the road in Rochester,
New York, I was being born while this game was
being played. Wow, against the CFL. And that's
the last time the NFL ever played the CFL. Yeah,
they didn't want to lose. Yeah, you beat us,
we're not playing you again. Oh, you know Canada
has that football up on display somewhere. But
that was on my actual real birthday. That was
kind of cool. Wow, that is cool. Yeah. And they
just jumped across the border anyhow. Yeah, pretty
much. All right, the most times a player has
been traded. Oh, that's going to be interesting.
This is a three -way tie at four trades. Okay.
Brandon Cooks got traded four times. Kiki Alonzo,
I think he was a linebacker, got traded four
times. That sounds about right. And running back
Eric Dickerson got traded four times. Oh, I knew
Dickerson did quite a bit. For such a good player,
he was really good at garnishing the key players
for other teams. Now, Dickerson would have been
all alone at five trades, except his final one
to the Cowboys, he failed the physical, which
voided the trade. Oh, okay. So he stuck it for
him. That was probably later in his career, wasn't
it? Yeah, he was going from the Falcons to the
Cowboys, and the Cowboys said, no, you're not.
The Falcons, he did play for them. Yeah, it was
Rams, and then Colts, and then Raiders, and then
Falcons. Okay. And then he was going to go to
the Cowboys, but Bailey Fitzgerald. Wow. So four
trades each. Okay. Okay. Most single season losses.
16. So nobody's lost every game in the 17 -game
schedule yet. But only two teams have lost every
single game in the 16 games. The 2017 Browns
and the 2008 Lions. Wow. Okay. Now, I thought
Cincinnati was on that list. I thought I remembered
Cincinnati losing every single game. Yeah. But
I think it was Cleveland. I was thinking of Cleveland
instead of Cincinnati. For some reason, Cincinnati
sounds about right, but I guess not. But I think
that maybe they won one or two games and escaped.
Yeah, this is before Carson Palmer came in and
all that. And I forgot the head coach that was
there for years. Oh, yeah. I can't remember his
name. Oh, well, anyhow. I don't remember. All
right, the longest losing streak over multiple
seasons. is the Chicago Cardinals. Wow. Yeah,
before they were the Arizona Cardinals. Or the
St. Louis Cardinals. Well, they were the Phoenix
Cardinals. Then they were the St. Louis Cardinals,
and before that they were the Chicago Cardinals.
Okay. So back when the Bears and the Cardinals
were both playing in Chicago, they had a playoff
game to see which team was going to stay and
which was going to leave. And the Cardinals lost,
so they moved to St. Louis. Oh, wow. Yeah. So
anyway, the Chicago Cardinals from 19... That's
interesting. I never knew that. Yeah. Between
1942 and 1945, so there's four seasons during
World War II, the Cardinals lost 29 games in
a row. Wow. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. They lost the
last four of the 42 season. They lost all 10
in the 43 season, all 10 in the 44 season, and
the first five of the 1945 season. Just to give
everyone an idea, an 0 -4 team is harder to do
than an 0 -4 winning team. Yeah. 17 -0, it's
harder to go 0 -17. Yes, it really is. Yeah,
so that will give you an idea about how inept
that team was. And this was including the year
1944. The Chicago Cardinals temporarily merged
with the Pittsburgh Steelers because neither
team had enough players to field a team because
everyone was all fighting World War II. Okay,
that makes sense. 29 losses. And also there's
no men to watch it. Yeah. But when they did break
the streak with a win, they beat, I think, the
Bears. Oh, okay. And then they lost the rest
of the games that season. You know, the Bears
are like. Oh, my gosh. What the hell? Yeah, why
did we have to be the ones? I would have been.
This one surprised me. Most Super Bowl losses
by a franchise. Okay. Two teams are tied with
five. One's the Broncos. I was getting ready
to say Broncos, and that was John Elway. Who
do you think the other one is? Buffalo. Patriots.
Oh, that's right, because they lost two before
Brady. Before Brady, yeah. They've been in so
many Super Bowls that they've lost five of them,
and they still are, I think, have the most Super
Bowl wins. That's just crazy. Okay, most consecutive
Super Bowl losses. Buffalo. Buffalo Bills, yep.
They lost four in a row. In 1990, the loss to
the Giants, NFC East team. In 91, they lost to
the then Washington Redskins, NFC East team.
And then in 92 and 93, they lost to the Cowboys
both times. Again, NFC East. NFC East. So for
four years in a row, we had the Buffalo Bills
playing somebody from the NFC East in the Super
Bowl. And losing everyone. Four years in a row.
Yep. And lost all four of them. That's where
the white right came from. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Scott Norwood. And then they were going to change
their area code in Buffalo to 044. Yeah, I remember
that one too. And then this Bill's Cowboys Super
Bowl is going to come up later, too. Okay, lowest
scoring Super Bowl. It was Super Bowl 53 in 2019.
The Patriots beat the Rams 13 -3. Okay. That
was boring as hell. It was also one of the most
lowest rated Super Bowls. Well, there's no excitement
between those two. Think of it. Yeah. Brady can
only score 13 points. Okay. No, and by this time,
Brady was like kind of a, you know. Yeah. All
right, most Super Bowl turnovers by a single
team. In Super Bowl XXVII, the Bills lost nine
turnovers to the Cowboys. I'd forgotten about
that, but I believe it. Yeah, that's more than
two per quarter. How many did Jim Kelly lose,
I wonder? I bet you he lost probably four of
those, I would think so. Yeah, and that was the
game where the Cowboys won 52 -17. Wow. Yeah.
Now, the most Super Bowl turnovers totaled by
both teams combined, 11. Yeah, Super Bowl V,
which is sometimes called the Blunder Bowl, it
was the Colts against the Cowboys. Now, two years
previous, the Colts had been the NFC team playing
the Jets. But then with the merger, the Colts
got switched to the AFC, and now they represented
the AFC in the Super Bowl. So the Colts have
represented both sides. Okay. The Colts had seven
turnovers. The Cowboys had four, but the Colts
still won the game 16 -13. Wow. But it was just
mistake after mistake. And it wasn't like, you
know, punching out the ball or cool interceptions.
It was just bad play. Bad play. It was just,
yeah. Which is horrible. For the Super Bowl.
Yeah. Anyway. All right. Only Super Bowl non
-sellout. I can't believe that, but go ahead.
Super Bowl I. Oh, I can. 1967 Packers versus
Chiefs. It was carried on two TV networks simultaneously.
Because the AFL had their own network and the
NFL had their network. And also, they were still
the foolish dozen that was never going to make
anything. They were like, no, they're going to
go under. And they never thought they'd merge
with the NFL because they became so prominent.
Yeah, after a couple of seasons, someone remarked
that Lamar Hunt had lost a million dollars during
the past season of football. And the NFL owners
were chuckling about that, and then somebody
commented, yeah, at that rate, he'll only last
another 53 seasons. And then the NFL said, oh,
shit, they aren't going anywhere. We better make
a merger. Yep. Anyways, 30 ,000 unsold tickets
to Super Bowl I, and the prices range from $12
to $115. Oh, wow. But back then, it was not even
called the Super Bowl yet. Uh -huh. The halftime
show was a college marching band and demonstrations
of jetpacks. Oh, my God, how much it's changed.
And it is rumored that Packers star player Max
McGee was hung over and hiding in the stands
with the fans at the start of the game because
he couldn't play. And somebody went and found
him and made him dress and go in and play. Oh,
that's funny. And he wound up doing really well.
Two more. Biggest blowout in NFL history. It
was the 1940 NFL Championships between the Bears
and the then Washington Redskins. 73 to nothing.
Wow. Oh my gosh. Ten touchdowns in the field
goal. And it got to the point about halftime.
The officials came to the Bears and said, listen,
you've got to quit scoring touchdowns because
when you do, you kick the extra point and we
lose the ball. It goes in the stands and we're
running out of footballs. So you need to quit
scoring because we're running out of footballs.
And Chicago said, screw that, and they just went
ahead and kept scoring. So they had to go, when
they kicked the extra point, they had to go into
the stands and get the ball back so they could
keep playing. Wow. Different times, huh? Yeah.
okay biggest blown lead okay of all time was
the 2022 colts they were up 33 to nothing over
the vikings lost 39 36 in overtime wow i remember
that game i remember seeing you know the scores
flash up and the colts were just like destroying
the vikings and then the vikings started coming
back and I think the Colts had to kick a field
goal to send it into overtime to tie it at 36.
Then the Vikings won it in overtime. Wow. That
was one point better than the Bills beating the
Houston Oilers in the playoffs, overcoming a
32 -point deficit. Was that Warren Moon? Yep.
The Oilers were ahead by 32 points, and it was
like second half already. I think I remember
that one. And I was like, wow. And Jim Kelly
even got knocked out of the game. And backup
Frank Reich came in and brought him all the way
back and sent the Oilers home. And Carl Peterson
was on the phone. So, that's what I got for you.
Those are NFL records that you don't want to
break. No, no, no, no. You don't want to get
those. Yes. All right. All right, so shall we
end this segment and proceed to the next? Yeah.
Thanks for listening. Go fuck yourself.
