Well, since the sports show can't be called two
douchebags with a microphone, maybe we could
just call them the sports bastards. Yes, it's
true. Mark is an old bastard. It's also true
that Mark uses a lot of ibuprofen. But Mark would
like to tell you, if you see any pictures of
him roofing ibuprofen, It's obviously fake, and
you're to take the pictures and tear them up
immediately. Hey fellas, remember to wipe away
from the twins. Stay fresh ideas from the douchebags.
Remember to bleach your Bluetooth after every
show. All right. Sports bastards? Master D -sports?
Yes. Yeah. After a little hiatus there. So, a
week. How high was our hiatus? It was pretty
high. Yeah, it was pretty high. Yes. I don't
remember it, that's how. No, yeah. That's pretty
good when you don't remember. I woke up with
my pants to my knees. I have no idea what happened
there. Yeah, the last time that happened to me
is I had sedation dentistry. I remember waking
up and my fly was open. And everybody in the
back room was snickering. I pulled that joke
on somebody at work once. He was talking about
getting his bunch of tooth work done, and he
said, I always do the sedation part. And I said,
when you come to, is your fly open? Or is the
dentist's fly open? Yeah. Do you have a bad taste
in your mouth? A weird taste? Oh, nasty. Oh,
yeah. If someone sees you on the internet, oh,
I must have been down on his luck. Look what
he's doing. Per guy. All he had to do was ask
money. He didn't have to do that. That's awesome.
All right, I have some bullet points. Oh, let's
start with the bullet points. Okay. Do you think
that Patrick Mahomes has a chip on his shoulder
about the lack of respect? He did cut off his
mohawk and seems to be heavily training and in
really good shape. I think he does have a significant
motivational chip. He's not smiling or laughing
nearly as much. I think he's pissed off. And
I think he realizes he's been having a lot of
fun, but maybe that is part of the reason they
didn't succeed is because they were having so
much fun. He is mad at himself. Yeah, all the
commercials, all the appearances. Seems to have
really stopped. Yeah, yeah. Because there's a
basic minimum that they have to do as NFL players.
as the interviews and appearances and things,
but you can go back down to that minimum and
then have all that free time to concentrate on
getting your game back together. Yeah, I think
that's exactly correct. I think that he refocused
and he goes, all right, do I want to be a star
like Travis Kelsey, a movie star? No. Do I want
to do more commercials? Probably not. He's like,
what do I really want to do? I want to win football
games, and I want to be a Super Bowl champion
again. Yeah, yeah. I think during this offseason,
Travis and Patrick had a late -night heart -to
-heart. I think so. Where they both realized
that this is, unless a miracle happens, Travis's
last year. And I think Travis also realized he
had a subpar year because he did admit to that.
He fessed up. He was like, yeah, you know, I
did have a subpar. here, and I really do need
to reevaluate what I'm doing and get out of the
whole Hollywood thought. I think we're going
to see Travis and Patrick both having the same
kind of mindset going into the season, and I
hope it catches on to the rest of the team. Yeah.
I can see that being very successful. I could
too. It's going to be interesting. The draft
starts tonight, doesn't it? Oh yeah, I guess
it does. You're sports bastards and you don't
know when the draft starts. Yeah, I know. Hey,
it's free. You're getting your money's worth.
So, I mean, the Chiefs go for the best talent.
Pretty much, yeah. Yeah. So it may not be an
offensive lineman, but I kind of hope it is.
Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah. I guess Sumitara. Sumitara.
Yeah, that guy. Kingsley. Kingsley, yeah. And
who is the other one who are going to be competing
for the starting job? Let's see. There's Jawan
Taylor. There's Wanya Morris. Morris. Yeah. I
think him and Morris are in contention. The right
tackle or the left tackle. Yeah. What happened
to the left tackle that we hired late in the
season? Humphreys or something? Yeah, yeah. And
then he got hurt. I think he wants to come back.
Okay. I wonder if they're going to take him back
or not. I get the impression from the last article
I saw on that, I got the impression the Chiefs
are open to the idea. It might change after the
draft. They might decide, hey, we got what we
need this way, so bye. Well, I mean, with Tooney
being traded, I mean, I think they need to stack
up on as many as they can get. Yeah, I think
that's been demonstrated pretty well by a lot
of teams these last couple years is you need
a good depth at offensive line. And I also think
that that's part of Mahomes' training so heavily
is, I think he realizes now that if I'm in better
shape, I can escape better. I'm almost 30. This
is where your body is on that tilting. Yeah,
yeah. So if he's in great shape, he's probably
going to at least stay the same. If not, maybe
a little bit better if he's in peak shape. And
that could be the difference in a couple of games.
Exactly. You know, is that he's got more energy
left at the end of the game and didn't take that
big hit and that kind of stuff. I agree. That
can add up to a couple of wins. And that's another
thing, too, is all the hits he took, too. I'm
pretty sure he felt that in the offseason for
a while. Oh, and yeah, I imagine he takes his
shirt off at home and his wife says, is this
really worth it? Look at you. Don't look in the
mirror and see how beat up and bruised you are.
Yeah. This can't go on. Yeah. So I think that
that is part of what he's doing is he's protecting
himself. Good idea. Because nobody's going to
look out for his well -being better than he is
himself. I always said, carry mace. When you're
at the bottom of the pile, you start macing fucking
faces. They're not going to want to bring you
down. Well, they could put Biggin in there and
he could bite their nuts. That's true. I need
to look up the difference between mace and pepper
spray because they're very different things.
Yeah, I know. I don't know what the difference
is. I know they both hurt like hell. Mace used
to be the thing that was used until it was discovered
that pepper spray is a lot easier to produce,
manufacture, store. It's a lot less toxic when
you spray it everywhere. And it's natural. Worst
comes to worst, you can spray a little on your
taco and have a nice spicy meal. But mace is
made from something else. It's more along the
effect of tear gas. Yeah, and I think that's
another thing, too, is I think it's not as safe
to use as pepper spray. Yeah, I think once people
started getting sued for getting maced, it's
like, you maced me, but now I've got all these
health problems and you need to pay for them.
I think a little butane flamethrower. Yeah, catch
her hair on fire. They ain't bothering you. They're
running off trying to, I don't know, find a place
to stamp it out. I always thought the best idea
to have one of those little face huggers from
the Alien movies. Just have them sitting on your
shoulder. It's like, you piss me off, then a
little hugger here is going to give you a big
hug. He likes you. He wants to hug your face
hard. Can I, boss, can I? Not quite. Just hang
on. What was it in Men in Black? Two or three.
I think it was three. The guy had the little
creature that would crawl in and out of a hole
in his hand. Yeah, yeah, that was three. Forrest
the animal. They're running out of stuff, so
they had to come up with some props. Oh, here.
Before I forget. But it's kind of like along
the lines of the magician's familiar that you'll
see in, like, Lord of the Rings. I think the
wizards there had familiars, little animals or
creatures that would do their bidding. It's kind
of along the lines of that. To me, it's kind
of like a prop. It's like, well, we're running
out of... This is the same storyline. We don't
know where to take it. Oh, let's put in little
pugs and let's put it in, you know. It's like
they got to go to the cutesy. Everyone goes,
oh, yeah, that pug scene was so funny. Oh, my.
Yeah. Yeah, in the sequels, you generally get
a lot of stuff that didn't make the cut for the
first movie. Yeah, yes. So, meh. Yeah, that's
what I say. Well, Dad and I don't watch movies
anymore. They're all too busy trying to teach
me a lesson. No kidding. It's like, no, I don't
want a lesson. I'll go search them out myself.
But you know what I want? An entertaining fucking
movie. And characters I can care about. Yes,
and not trying to fill something you need to
be filled. Spider -Man doesn't have to be a gay
woman. How about we just keep him fucking Spider
-Man? Imagine the time when you would cast a
character based on what makes sense for the character.
Yes, that's what I'm saying. But now it's who
do we want to push into the spotlight and what
message do we want to send? Let's go get that
actor. Yeah, do a movie for the gay... woman
and do a movie for her or whatever superhero
she wanted to be and call that good. But don't
make my Spider -Man something he's not. It basically
comes down to give the people what they're willing
to pay for. And then don't worry about it past
that. And we'll look at Snow White. Yeah, that's
been kind of an interesting thing. I tend to
stop believing a lot of the reports I'm seeing
about that movie because YouTube has been a loser.
giving me fake videos on it. People really don't
like it, and they're passionate and trying to
sway people from going. Yeah, and apparently
Disney has decided they're no longer going to
do live action. Yeah. Or at least they're putting
it on hold. Well, for now. We'll see. We're ready.
Okay, I got another bullet point here. Yes. The
Eagles, are they another dynasty? Kind of like
the Cowboys -Steelers rivalry of many years ago?
I think so. I think so, too. I think they're
doing all the right things. I think we'll see
them again. Oh, definitely. Yeah, yeah. And I
like Jalen Hurts. I like the way he plays. I
do, too. I like what he brings to the whole football
thing. Barring injury, I think he's going to
have a really stellar career. Yeah, yeah. And
it would be awesome to see somebody in the NFC
East besides the Cowboys being relevant for a
long time. Yeah, yeah, I think so too. You know,
I'm not saying that I want the cowboys to suck
or be bad. Oh, I do. Oh, yeah, well, you know,
a little bit of I do. But for the most part,
it's I want to change. You know, it's been this
way for a long time. No, no, no, I agree. I would
like to see them. I think it can't be the current
cast of characters and not Brian Schottheimer,
certainly. Yeah. But something like, you know.
But seeing the commanders and the eagles take
over that. division and be the big deal for a
while that'd be awesome yeah it would be yeah
i really don't care about the giants you know
they can go away for a while i agree yeah so
yeah they could stay going yeah we both kind
of are on the same path i mean yeah they not
may not be the perennial dynasty of 20 years
or 10 years or something yeah but i think they're
going to be in the conversation a lot Yeah, yeah.
I'd like to see, let me use this analogy. The
Commanders and the Eagles, I'd like to see them
dominating the division the way I expect the
Chiefs and the Broncos to dominate the AFC West.
Yes. And then the Giants and the Cowboys, they
give me like the Chargers and the Raiders who
are always kind of there but never really do
much. Yeah. I could kind of see that happening
in the AFC East. Now, as far as AFC West, I think
the Raiders are going to get a whole lot better
in a hurry. partly because they've got nowhere
to go but up. I agree. As much as I enjoy hating
on the Raiders, I want them to be a good team.
I want them to mean something. I want it to be
a tough, hard battle when the Chiefs and the
Raiders play. Of course, I want the Chiefs to
win every time. But I want it to be a tough,
hard -fought battle. I want it to mean something
as far as the division goes. That's what I'm
used to from before. Okay, I'll be right back.
All right, as they say, back to good. As good
as this gets, whatever that is. All right, so
we both agree on the Eagles. Yeah. Yeah, I think
for the next five years they're going to be relevant.
But to me, and I could be wrong, I was wrong
about Jalen Hurts quite a bit. I don't think
he's the kind of quarterback that's going to
be there forever. You know, I can see that now
that you bring that up. I can see him not necessarily
having to be replaced, but moving on to another
team. Moving on to another team or slowing down
enough to where he's not effective. Yeah. But
he is getting great coaching, obviously. Yeah,
yeah. He was not hitting dimes before. Now he
is. Yeah, and they've got a good scheme there
where... He can take advantage of the tools that
he has, the players that he has, use them more
effectively. I hear that a lot when teams are
struggling. They talk about, well, they're not
using their tools effectively. That really is
kind of a thing. I mean, if you've got a Travis
Kelsey, you need to throw him the ball a lot.
Yeah, no, I agree. If you've got a Joe Mixon,
you feed him the ball. It's that kind of stuff.
And the teams that get away from that for who
knows whatever reason. Well, I've got a good
one for you, the Super Bowl. I felt the Chiefs
should have ran more. Yeah, absolutely. You've
got to keep them honest. I don't care if they're
being knocked back a little bit or only getting
two yards. The threat's there if you keep doing
it. Sooner or later, we're going to break one,
and we don't care. We're just going to play the
waiting game. I've seen end -of -game stats where
a team has passed the ball 38 times and ran it
12. And I thought, wow, one -dimensional. Isn't
that a bad thing? I would think so, unless you're
so good. I guess. That you can just go, well,
we're going to pass this whole game and there's
not a damn thing you're going to do about it.
Yeah, I guess if it's working all the time. But
like in the Super Bowl with the Chiefs, it wasn't
working there some of the times. It was not working,
no. And, you know, you don't want the defense
to dictate what you're going to do, but you don't
be pig -headed either and say, well, we're not
running because we don't want to. No. It's half
the game, man. I think that on teams – Games
like the Super Bowl, if the team that knocks
you off your game the first, which was the Eagles,
they're going to usually win. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah,
you get the other team trying to, in recovery
mode, it's like, all right, well, everything
we worked on this week isn't working. So what
the hell do we do now? What they did is they
went over 10 points against us, and they're like,
okay, now all we need to do is play really tight
football. So they knew that the 10 -point thing
didn't really matter. Or maybe even the 14 -point
thing didn't really matter. They were looking
higher than that. They're like, we want 17 -point
lead, if not more, at halftime. And it kind of
also demonstrated that during the season, the
Chiefs relied on the other team to make mistakes.
And Philadelphia didn't make many mistakes in
that game. That's so true. It's just like the
Tampa Bay is almost a rewritten script. Same
style of play. Huge defensive backs. Outmanned
and just... Fucking pummeled our offensive line.
Yeah. So, the offensive line. No. I'm not happy
with them. No. You know, they're so good for
all this time in the Super Bowl. They lay down
like little girls. I'm sorry. You do that one
more fucking time, they're going to fire the
whole team, the whole offensive line. There's
no excuse for that. None. Yeah, yeah. They're
making them look like children. That's the kind
of thing that the players used to look to Eric
Biennemi for. He held them accountable. Anything
on the offense. No, I agree. He even got in Mahomes'
face. Yeah. He's like, look, you guys are, you
know, I don't know the language he used. I'm
sure it was pretty harsh and rough because the
commanders couldn't handle it. I know. He would
tell them. That guy's mean -sy. He says mean
-sy words. But he would get in the player's face
and tell them exactly what they're doing wrong.
Oh, he would have been chewing their ass out.
Yeah. He'd be over there fucking pointing his
finger in their face. There's no. That's all
right. We'll do it better next time. It's like,
you know, you screwed up, and this is what you
cost us. How old are they? How much money do
they make? I'm sorry, they can fucking eat that,
can't they? Grown -ass adults, yes. All right.
Do you think that the Titans are looking quarterback
in this draft, or do you think that they're not
even quite even there yet? I think they're not
even quite there yet. No, I wouldn't go for a
franchise quarterback, but I would not. Be surprised
to see him go like third, fourth round, get somebody
who's just kind of reliable and stable. You know,
somebody who can kind of grow with the team and
eventually become the backup for the franchise
quarterback. That's what I think, yeah. They're
trying to look for someone a little under an
Alex Smith level. Yeah. Who can keep him together,
be a mentor when they get the guy. Maybe a Kirk
Cousins type of guy. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, something
like that. No problem. problem drafting a guy
like that because you don't necessarily find
him in free agency yeah so draft somebody who's
not going to be your big franchise guy yeah why
not i wouldn't i wouldn't put a first round on
no it's like third or fourth round yeah i'd treat
him like a running back third or fourth round
is fine yeah yeah so you get your money's worth
out of no doubt yeah So I think if they're so
far off, unless they find that Mahomes or that
Allen or that one guy. I could definitely see
the Titans drafting best player available. Yeah,
I could too. Because they need people everywhere.
Yeah. And even if they're heavy at one position,
then trade somebody. Okay. Simple. Yeah. Along
these lines, I didn't have this written down,
but I just thought of it. Mike Vrabel, is he
going to be successful in New England? I mean,
he did pretty good with the Titans. I mean, he
never really did have the quarterback, and they
made it into the later rounds. I was trying to
remember, did he play for the Patriots? I think
he did. Yes, yeah. He played for the Chiefs and
I think the Cowboys and the Patriots. Yeah, I
could see Brable having success there in New
England for a while. But I think Brable is one
of the previous generation of head coaches. You
know, it's what they used to look for in head
coaches, but they kind of don't anymore. No,
no, no, that tough -nosed guy. And I got a great
example of that, the guy in Detroit. Yeah. Now
I forgot his name. Matt Patricia. Is that the
previous head coach in Detroit that was yelling
and screaming and everybody? Yeah, yeah, Matt
Patricia. His last name was Patricia. Yeah, yes.
He came from the... New England coaching tree.
He did for the New England tree. And nobody could
stand him. Everybody hated him and everybody
just laid down. Yeah, yeah, and that's it. Thank
you. I would have never thought of his name,
Matt Patricia. All I could think of was his last
name was a first name. Yeah. That's all I could
think. So, yeah, I think that style doesn't necessarily
parlay into winning. No, and I think Vrabel's
not quite that bad. No, Vrabel's got more smarts
than that, but I think he has that in him. Yeah,
that abrasive quality. It's the guy who's going
to drop the N -word once in a while in polite
company. That kind of person. Yeah, yeah, he
doesn't mean anything by it. And he just doesn't
realize what he's doing. Yeah, he's trying to
do it for effect. So, I mean, reportedly the
enemy used it all the time. And that's probably
why, maybe one of the reasons no one hired him.
And I guess there are some complaints. People
say, look... He can say that word every now and
then. We realize he's African American, but do
you have to use it so much? Wow. Is what I heard.
If that's true, I don't know. I heard that a
few times. I mean, I even feel that way in Quentin
Tarantino movies. Yes. It's like, dude, come
up with another word, please. Just because you
have Samuel L. Jackson doing it does not make
it right. Yeah. You know, the thing is, is he
relied on it too much. Yeah. You know, you hear
that a couple of times for shock value. You're
like. And then it's kind of like, okay, we get
it. Yes. So, all right, I think Brable will be
successful, but Super Bowl guy, probably not.
Yeah. In the playoffs, he could make it deep
like he did with Tennessee. I think the team's
going to improve with him as the head coach.
I just don't think you're going to get where
you want to go with him. And I don't have this
one down either, but suddenly it's spawning all
these questions. Dan Campbell. Is he ever going
to make it to the Super Bowl? He's another rah
-rah guy. Yeah, I think he's got almost all of
what it takes to be a championship head coach,
but there's a little something lacking, and he's
either going to have to learn that or get somebody
else on his staff that can do that. I agree.
Yeah, he doesn't strike me quite as the guy that
you're going to go live and die for. Yeah, and
also Jared Goff is not the man anyhow. I don't
think so. He's proven it many years over. Yeah.
He went to the Super Bowl one time and shit his
pants. So he went right down his leg and did
nothing, and Jared Goff did that again. The first
round of the playoffs, he did that last year
in the title game of NFC. They got clobbered.
Mm -hmm. So they're a team. And Goff is getting
older. They're a team, I think, that could, if
they see that guy, I don't think maybe not this
draft, maybe the next draft, I see them moving
up to get the guy. And we're going to go, all
right, Goff, this is probably, like Alex Smith,
this is probably going to be your last season.
We expect you to be on board, and he probably
will be. He seems like a pretty solid guy. And
we want you to teach this guy. We want you to
mentor him. and we're going to see where this
is going to take us. And I could see that happening
up there, kind of like Alex Smith and Patrick
Mahomes in Kansas City. Yeah. So, all right,
yeah, Dan Campbell does not impress me, but I
think that he can win a Super Bowl, but he's
going to need a different quarterback. Yeah,
yeah. I mean, kind of like anybody, really. I
mean, actually, I mean, while I'm saying that,
I'm thinking Mike Drable could win one too with
a right guy. Yeah. There's some coaches that
really can't, though. Schottenheimer. He would
have found a way to fuck it up. Marty, that is,
not Brian. Well, Brian's probably the same. Whoever
they got it for the New York Giants, because
they go for mediocrity anyway. They get rid of
Daniel Jones, but then they didn't have anybody
else. Yeah, they got Tommy DeVito for the quarterback
for a while. Danny DeVito's little brother. No,
because he's a hometown favorite. They thought
it was going to make everybody happy. But they're
like, listen, I know a Bronx guy or something,
like that Bronx Italian guy, or maybe he's from
Philadelphia. Northeast Italian guy, right? Yeah.
Oh, great. He's going to fit right in here. You
still have to win. Yeah, yeah. He probably sold
a few jerseys right off the bat just based on
that. Yeah, you know, that would sell a lot of
jerseys, you know? And I have to admit, I'm going
to get a Karloftis jersey. Yeah, I think I'd
be like them. I've got to support the fellow
Greek. That's the way it is. Italians are the
same way. I think most people that have a heavy
ethnic, where you definitely know where your
family's from and you definitely know what you
are, would do the same, mainly, primarily. See
you there. a whole lot of Irish or Scottish or
German football players that I can think of right
off the bat. You're right. Or if they are, they're
like so mixed in that they, you know what I mean?
Yeah, that's true. I'm predominantly German,
so I'm going to look for somebody with, well,
Roethlisberger, but I don't know. No, no, no.
You figure Berger on the end of the name, they're
probably German. Probably, yeah. So, okay, the
whole point was is I think it helped. It helped
sell jerseys to Vito, but he still didn't win,
so people got bored with it. It's like, okay,
yeah, I got his jersey, but what's he going to
do? And in retrospect, it showed that at that
point, Giants really weren't even trying. It
was just, what equipment do we do to make it
look like we're at least making an effort, and
then we'll just get through the season and count
our money. That's why you just hand it over to
Vito. And I think the Giants season ticket holders
are learning that. Yeah. This dream's not really
trying. Oh, I think so. And also, let me clarify
this. DeVito is so much better than me, I probably
shouldn't even be commenting on it. I know. Yeah,
me too. Yeah, so I admit that. But we're seeing
what we see, and we're putting him against other
big leaguers. Here's a side question. There are
people who will say, well, you can't criticize
unless you can do it better. Do you buy that?
No, never have. Because I can tell when somebody's
doing a shitty job flying the airplane. I can't
fly it myself. I can tell when somebody botches
an operation. But I can't perform surgery. So,
no, I don't have to know how to do it myself
to be able to criticize. Yeah, we hire accountants.
All of a sudden we owe like $10 ,000. We may
not be able to account, but we know something's
fucked up. I could never be president, but boy
howdy, I can recognize when people are being
bad presidents. Yes, I have. I've seen quite
a few in my years. Unfortunately, we've seen
way too many. All right. Should the Chiefs be
worried that the division is stacking up on great
coaches and finding talent to go with it? Oh,
yes. Yes. I think they should be very concerned.
Worried? No. Maybe not worried, but very concerned
and paying close attention. Worried was a bad
choice of words. Concerned. I think the fans
should be worried. I think so, too. I think it's
okay for us to worry because we have no direct
control. But the people at the Chiefs organization,
they should be concerned and they should be taking
it very seriously. Well, what we have against
us are three builders like Reed is. So you have
the Sean Payton who built up a dynasty and traded
for Drew Brees from San Diego at the time, who
never did anything with Philip Rivers. I mean,
they got to playoffs, but nothing else. So he
got Drew Brees, and he put all the puzzles together.
That was Sean Payton, and I forgot the GM's name.
You have the same thing. Beathard? Beathard.
Yeah. Beathard. Used to be. The then Redskins,
when they used to be the Redskins. Yeah, that's
right. Bobby Becker was over there. Then you
have Pete Carroll, who is a fantastic coach.
Been to the Super Bowl. Yeah, won the Super Bowl,
been twice, won one of them. He's a good builder.
The team seems to be generally pretty popular
with his players. Yes. You have that over there,
so the Raiders, Las Vegas, is going to be doing
nothing but getting better. And Tom Brady. Yeah.
Tom Brady and Pete Carroll and Tom Brady probably
had a lot in that hiring, too, I bet. But fortunately,
the Chiefs signed Gardner Minshew away from the
Raiders, so now we can pump him for information.
Yes, that might have been the reason. You can
debrief him on what the Raiders do. Yeah, I thought
that was a – you know, I know what that is. He
can throw. And he can win games for you. He's
very seasoned. So if Mahomes gets hurt, it's
not so much of a worry. Carson Wentz, you're
kind of like, I don't want him to go out. I don't
want Gardner, Menchie. You're like, okay. Yeah,
I want the Chiefs to have a backup quarterback
that is good enough that if Patrick Mahomes might
be hurt, you're okay taking him out and resting
him and putting the backup in. Yeah, not like
a wind dealer. Yeah, but that's the level I want
is like, oh, his knee is tweaked. And he's like,
well, I can play. And they're like, but you don't
have to because our backup is awesome and he'll
go and finish this quarter and then we'll see
where you are. Yeah, the backup is arguably maybe
a starter on a bad team. I mean, arguably. And
then have just a brutal running game so he doesn't
have to throw if he doesn't want to. I think
we're working on that running game. I know they're
going to draft somebody too, but they brought
back Kareem. Pacheco I've never been high on,
but if you mix him with other experienced, good
runners, he'll be more effective. Yeah, use him
five or ten downs a game. And that's it. And
I think he's more effective like that. The guy
we got from San Francisco, I keep forgetting
his damn name. Is it Mitchell? Mitchell. Yeah.
Mitchell, and then we'll see whose job or maybe
on the training squad this next running back
is going to get. Yeah. The running back's either
going to take someone's job away from him, or
he's going to be on the practice squad, and then
next year we don't hire a couple of them back.
Yeah. I would like to see them take Carson Steele
and see if he can also be a strictly blocking
tight end. He did pretty good. I think that would
be good, and then every now and then you could
sneak him the ball. Yeah, yeah. I'd say keep
him on your roster as a fourth tight end slash
starting fullback. Besides that, he owns an alligator.
Yeah, that's pretty cool. Every team needs a
guy that owns an alligator. If he changes the
S in his name to B, he would be Carbon Steel.
I like that better. Yeah. Who are you? Carbon.
And then he smokes a joint, he'll be High Carbon
Steel. High Carbon Steel. Okay, this is getting
stupid. But no, I'd like to see Carson Steel
used, but primarily as a blocker and short. short
yardage specialist i got a tagline carbon steel
no uh um what was i going to say now no impurities
here yes you know because the steel ain't no
rust on me no no no rust no impurities on pure
carbon fucking steel so bring it yeah all right
Will Mitch Holtis keep repeating the sweet nectar
of the end zone this year? God, I hope not. Listen,
I love the guy. Yeah, awesome. Awesome announcer.
His enthusiasm level is just right. He's a little
bit of a homer, but that's okay. I kind of like
that. Kevin Harlan is too. Yeah, but he's a great
caster. Go ahead. That sweet nectar of the end
zone. Somebody should have told him much sooner,
like, yeah, that kind of doesn't sound so good
for some of the people out there. Yeah. Another
thing is, I mean, it's plagued. He's done it
so much, it's like it's done. So whether you
thought it was brilliant or not, it's been plagued
too much. It's like, go on to something else,
find the next tagline. And the people I've talked
to who like it... They always say with a creepy
little giggle, oh, yeah, I like it. They like
it because of the sexual innuendo. That's why
they like it. So that's who he's appealing to
is the people who get the little sexual innuendo
of coming in your mouth. Yeah, that's true. It's
like, so, okay, that's who you're trying to appeal
to, Kansas City Chiefs? I'll remember that about
you. Well... I also think that whenever you go
to the potty stuff, like we don't, but we're
also not doing a football game for anybody. Yeah.
Or it does say explicit contact. And we're not
charging you to watch this and playing you commercials
at the same time. Anyways, soapbox, gone. Okay,
so you know what? Yeah. All right. Will the UFL
be a useful tool for the NFL? I think it already
is. Me too. I've seen a couple of NFL players
who've gone down to the UFL to play and sharpen
their skills and just keep on the radar for the
NFL teams. The deal they have with Fox Network
now is brilliant. Fox Network has the Friday
night game of the week, and then they have the
feature game Saturday in the UFL. They're treating
it like the NFL. Yeah. And they'll usually have
a really good team. One of the better teams,
like I think St. Louis and Birmingham or something
like that. Birmingham's doing well. Michigan
is doing okay. Michigan, yeah. They try to seem
to have a game that's going to be somewhat entertaining
with a dynamic quarterback at that level. And
I've been seeing games on a tape delay. Yes.
Because they realize not everybody gets the games
live. So I think it was a Saturday afternoon
or a Sunday afternoon, and I was flipping around.
It's like, oh, here's a UFL game. I've done that
too. You could tell it was filmed in an evening
setting, so it was tape delay. But it was fun
to watch. I really enjoy the UFL -style football,
and I like that there's no kicking for extra
points. I know. You go for one, two, or three.
I love that. I hope the NFL adopts that. Yeah.
If you're three points down. and you just scored
and tied the game or whatever, or you need three
more points, you don't have to try an onside
kick and get a field goal. You can do the three
points and catch up right there. Yeah, and an
18 -point lead is still just two scores. Yes,
yeah, exactly. That's awesome. So you score the
sixth, but you get in the end zone, score the
sixth, and you're still three down with 50 seconds
left. Let's tie this thing. Yeah. I love that.
You either do it or you don't on that one play.
Yeah. All right, and the Friday night games are
a complete success because their ratings are
not too bad. For a long time, people have been
trying to avoid competing with the Friday night
high school football, but people aren't really
going to that so much. Kind of fell off. Yeah,
during COVID, people realized, well, you know,
there's other things we can do on a Friday night.
And we never really did go back to it. No, no.
So offering them football on a Friday night that
they can stay at home and watch, unless your
kid's on the team, I think a lot of people are
staying home and watching then. I think so, too.
I think that's a great idea, and it seems to
be working pretty well. Yeah. Yeah, I think that
they are a force to be reckoned with, but they're
not against the NFL. They're complementary, and
that's why it's going to work. The NFL isn't
squelching them. The NFL is backing them up and
propping them up. Yeah, the previous big three
that I remember, there was the WFL in the 70s.
Yes. And then there was the USFL that Donald
Trump had a team. Oh, yeah, that's right. Yeah,
the New Jersey Generals. Yeah, the Generals.
They won every championship because you get what
you pay for. And Bon Jovi owned part of that,
too. Yeah, yeah, I think he did. No, he owned
the Philadelphia team. Oh, that's right. Okay,
yeah. But both of those, and then there was a
third one. Was it the XFL? XFL. But there was
another one that was more trying to play NFL
-style football. The XFL tried to do WWE stuff,
like he hate me and all that stuff. Oh, yeah.
But with the USFL and the WFL, which was the
World Football League, both of those were created.
specifically for the purpose of eventually merging
with the NFL. Yes. That was their goal from day
one. The XFL, not necessarily because they were
so different from the NFL. And I think the UFL
is following those same things. It's like we
don't want to merge with the NFL. We want to
be ourselves and grow this and be an alternative,
but with enough crossover that we can swap players
back and forth. Yeah. So I think that's a much
better business option than just saying, yeah,
we just eventually want to merge and swell the
NFL up to 40 teams. No. No, I agree. And then
finally, we pretty much answered this, but I
had it down anyhow. The NFL, will it become a
farm system for the NFL? I think we pretty much
illustrated that, didn't we? Yeah. Everything
that we said kind of points to that. So. Are
we still going? I hope so. Yeah, the counters
are really off. We've been going 37 minutes,
but the counter at the top says we're only going
15 because it's screwed up. But we've gotten
everything. Okay, good. Good, good, good. That's
all of my bullet points. All right, I have a
couple. Okay. The NFL has recently declared the...
judgment on the Chiefs petitioning for hosting
a Christmas Day game every year. And the NFL
says, no, we don't want a Christmas Day game
every year, and no, even if we did, we don't
want you hosting it every year. Yeah. But I had
no idea the Chiefs were agitating for that. They
wanted to have a Christmas Day home game every
season. That didn't come out until recently.
No, no. I didn't know about it until the NFL
said, no, we ain't doing it. I mean, I think,
let's see, Thanksgiving is Detroit and Dallas.
I think the Chiefs are trying to make it a tradition,
too. Yeah. And there wasn't, initially, Lamar
Hunt wanted the Thursday night football game
on Thanksgiving to be the Chiefs every season.
It's like you get the morning game is either
Dallas or Detroit, the afternoon game is the
other, and then the evening game is always the
Chiefs. Yes. And the league said, no, but we
do like the idea of a third game on Thanksgiving.
That works out well. And then that parlayed into
a Thursday night football game every week. When
it started, Thursday night football games were
only for like seven or eight weeks during the
season. But then they switched to every stinking
week of the season, somebody's playing on a Thursday
night. That all started with Lamar Hunt wanting
the Thursday night game to be permanently based
in KC. Yeah, yeah, that's where the thought came
from. And they said, yeah, we'll do that, but
not exactly like you want. We're cutting everybody
else in on the money here. And also the Thursday,
yeah, Lamar Hunt was a genius. But, okay, the
Thursday game, the midday game is usually Dallas,
and that's a great move, and here's why. People
are eating and talking to their family. The 3
o 'clock game is where you finally, you're able
to escape. Yes. And start concentrating on the
games. Nothing against your loved ones, but there's
a really good game on. Yeah. And then the evening
game is usually the dynamic where there are people
going, all right, tomorrow is Black Friday. Yeah.
And I don't have to work, and I'm going to fucking
watch this game. Yep. Yeah, it was a brilliant
move to put it on a Thursday night. And grab
some more mashed potatoes and stuff. Yeah. There
you go. Yeah. It also helps that Dallas is in
the central time zone. Yes, that's another thing.
Whereas Detroit is Eastern. And I think that's
another reason why Dallas usually goes at first.
Is Detroit in the Eastern? Yeah, it is. Okay.
But that moves Detroit back just a little bit,
an hour before. And that also moves that evening
game for the people that do have to work. Yeah.
So, let's see. The NFL is the best -run league
anywhere, hands down. Yeah, it really is. But
they also piss me off regularly, too. Yes. All
right, next bullet point I have is... Oh, I love
it. You're coming up with bullet points. The
Bills' new stadium will have a grass field. Yes.
And it will be the 16th stadium with grass. And
since two teams share stadiums, that means there
should be, what, 30 stadiums in the league? Uh
-huh. So just over half will be grass. And I
don't think it's been that way for a long time.
I think artificial turf has been the majority
for quite a while. So I'm really happy that the
Bills are going back to grass, and I hope this
is a move towards other teams, other stadiums
following suit. This way I heard it is. It's
a protection of your investment. Yeah. Because
let's see, if Josh Allen, he's a running quarterback,
not exclusively he'd rather pass, but he's a
really good, very effective running, scampering
quarterback. Artificial turf is not very lending
to that. I mean, you get the cleat stuck, you
tear your knee out. Natural grass is a better
option for someone like that. Yeah, I imagine
any team that loses a few players to catastrophic
injuries caused by natural turf, they're probably
agitating the stadiums like, all right, next
year we've got to switch. Yeah. Yeah. So I hope
more of them switch. And it is smart. You pay
all this money for these players and then...
You don't do everything to keep them healthy.
It's just stupid. No, I agree. So I think that
you're going to see more and more go to natural
grass like buffalo. And the reason that is is
because of what I just said. They have a lot
of investments out there on the field. It would
be ridiculous not to protect them. Yeah. And
another reason is because now we can control
the drainage and the runoff and tarps. You can
also heat the field. So it's not such a, regular
grass used to be not that good because they're,
you know, they wear it out after three games
and it'd be a mud fest and all that. Now they're
too good at it. And they realize they can replace
the grass easily and quickly, whereas a chunk
of turf gets worn out and damaged. You've got
seams everywhere, and now that's twice the problem.
Yes. It's just a lot easier to maintain the grass
field. Yeah, so now that they can maintain it
like that, they can have like 10 semis full of
sod show up. And 500 people laying it down. No
big deal. And there was a time when one of the
shared stadiums had grass. And what they did
with the center field logo was they had grass
painted for one team's logo, and they'd just
go pull that up in these big pallets. Oh, yeah.
And then they'd put in modular pallets that was
already painted for the other team's logo. I
thought that was brilliant. Yeah. Instead of
like the old Coliseum, Oakland Coliseum, where
they had the Raiders and the A's. And the funny
thing is was this. You'd see the baseball diamond
lines on their field. Yeah. I always thought,
why are they making the football players run
on dirt? Why don't they make the baseball players
run on grass? Yeah, yeah. Who gets to choose
which team gets what they're supposed to have?
I never even thought about it like that, but
you're right. How come baseball went out? Because
there's more games? I think at that time the
baseball was a little more popular, and I think
it was the A's stadium. I think you're right.
The Raiders moved in. I think you're right, yeah.
So when you're the stepbrother, you don't always
get. No, no, you're right. Yeah. All right. Jalen
Watson for the Chiefs. Do you think he's trade
bait? Because the Chiefs signed Christian Fulton,
and McDuffie's going to get a $13 million payday
on his fifth -year option. I think he might be
seeing this today or tomorrow. Yeah. I kind of
think so, too. As good as he is, you don't want
him sitting there not playing every now and then.
Sneak kind of had a questionable knee. Yeah.
They traded him. He had a good season. Yeah,
he had a good season. But was he the guy that
he was here? No. No. Part of it was the scheme,
and, you know, he's learning a new team. Yeah,
some of it is that, too. A year older and a hurt
knee, eh, it takes a toll. Well, they took a
pass because of that. Yeah, yeah. And the reason
they, well, it's not just that. The kind of trade
bait that he commanded, I think Jalen Watson
is in the same area. Yeah, I think so. So if
you're going to have someone that really needs
to shore up their defense, especially, you know,
for the wide receivers and deep guy and all that,
then there you go. Yeah, I'd like to see him
stay if possible, but I understand that you don't
want a guy like that just sitting around and
not on the field every defensive snap. No, yeah,
and that's why you would probably trade him and
you figure out someone else to be the backup.
But I think they already have the backups. You
know, maybe what you get for them is a draft
pick and a couple of guys who are excellent on
special teams. Yeah. And that's worth more than
having Jalen Watson only playing a couple of
downs. I would agree. Yeah. Yeah. All right.
Okay. And then my final bullet point is yesterday
I saw a story saying that Cincinnati has apparently
been able to strong -arm the stadium into making
some improvements. But this morning I read that
the Cincinnati Bengals are also considering moving
to St. Louis. Which I like. Yeah. My question
is, should they stay in Cincinnati and hope for
the improvements, or should they just go ahead
and jump to St. Louis if they can? Well, Cincinnati,
they should stay there if they can because that's
their team. Yeah. I always hate it whenever teams
do that. Yeah, I do too. But I'm not sure if
that's going to happen because the local government
in Cincinnati does not seem like they care from
what I've read. Yeah, they do seem to be, they're
kind of along the minds of, we don't want to
spend that kind of money anyway. But if we were,
we'd be spending on something that's going to
be a lot more likely to get us reelected rather
than a stadium. Here's what I'm wondering. Do
they have a Johnson County like we do that's
going to go, oh, you don't want them? We do.
Oh, in Cincinnati? Yeah. Yeah, they've got a
ritzy area. Okay. Well, I know they do, but that's
why I'm posing the question. But, yeah, the whole
county that's on the upper scale, I don't know.
I think that this county, that the ritzy area,
could be a wild card because now it's getting
to where it used to be they didn't want teams,
but now Johnson County is like. We'll take them.
Wyandotte County, too. I mean, you know, Wyandotte
County has the Speedway and the Monarchs and
the Sporting KC. Well, in the intervening years,
everyone with an NFL team has discovered new
ways to exploit that ownership to make more and
more money in different areas. And now it's become...
a much more attractive proposition for counties
and cities it's there it's like oh you know 10
years ago it was going to cost us but now there
are all these other ways to make money hell yeah
bring your team yeah yeah i mean i was surprised
like just with the royals um the suburbs jumping
in on that you know because the old sprint center
there the old sprint complex not center the old
sprint complex there they already had them landed
in there and then the owners like We already
have some things we're going to do. We're not
sure what everybody's talking about. Well, here's
something interesting I heard. Remember last
week I had to go give a deposition on something.
I can't say too much more about that. But anyway,
during a break, some of the lawyers were talking
to each other. And one asked, you know, what
law firm are you with? And she told. And she
said, oh, are you located at this certain place
downtown? And she said, yeah, but we're getting
kicked out. I said, really? She said, yeah, everybody
in the building is getting kicked out, and they're
going to convert it to condos because they hope
the Royals are going to relocate to the downtown
stadium site, and then these condos will be perfectly
placed. So the speculation has already started.
They're already booting out paying tenants, going
to refurbish the whole building, and as the lawyer
said, there's not enough plumbing in this building.
to handle condos. So they're going to be awful
or they're going to have to spend a shit ton
on plumbing. But they're going to go ahead and
do it and build all these condos hoping that
the royals are going to show up. Yeah. That's
the amount of money that's available to just
throw away on something that might not pan out.
So there's boatloads to be made with a sports
franchise. I can't believe they're believing
a politician. Yeah. Really? Yeah. But, you know,
it's the kind of thing where, oh, we have about
$5 or $6 million that we can afford to lose.
Let's go ahead and speculate that he might be
telling me the truth. And if it does pay off,
we'll get $50. At the very least, they'll just
sell it. They'll be like, yeah, this ain't working.
But I found it interesting that the real estate
speculation is well underway for a downtown Royal
Stadium. Yes. So enough people, enough millionaires
think it's going to happen that they're willing
to gamble on it. Yeah, I think so. And Washington
Square would be the optimal location for that.
You have Crown Center right next door. You have
an area where you could supply parking. And you
have the place for the ballpark right there.
And the ballpark will go up instead of around
how spread out it is. It's going to be more like
a typical ballpark. And here's another way. You
make sure streetcar lines serve the ballpark
really, really well. Yeah, that's another thing.
The streetcar is just right over there. And then
you and your buddies go buy up land for parking
lots on the other end of those streetcar lines.
Yes. And you charge people $5 or $10 or whatever
to park there to get on the streetcar. that you
know in advance exactly how it's going to work
out, so you know what land to go by to make this
parking lot. And that's all figured in with the
deal they're talking about right now. That's
a bargaining point that somebody's using. It's
like, all right, when the streetcar line is built,
I want it ending up in my property so I can build
the parking lot and charge people out the ass
to park there. Yeah, that's already being...
That's part of business right now. Yeah, and
that's also the favor section too. It's kind
of like, hey, now Spectrum's telling me there's
a power outage. However the stadium works out,
it's going to work out in whatever way is best
for the people whose money's on the line, not
us. Yes, I agree. It will be something they can
sell to us and market to us, but it's going to
be built and designed to make the investors.
a crap ton of money. So you just got to accept
that. Well, the fans want this. The fans want
that. Well, they don't care. They want money.
They want a return on their investment. I think
that's the more realistic way to look at it.
I think you're right. Yeah, so I think the downtown
thing for the Royals is going to work out. And
I think the Johnson County thing is going to
work out too for the Chiefs. And the reason is
because The Chiefs really kind of are wanting
to get a Super Bowl, and you need a retractable
roof. We all know that Kansas City and Jackson
County in particular cannot afford that. I think
that it's very conceivable that Johnson County
could pay for that. I think if Kansas City were
ever going to get a retractable roof, we already
have it. Yes. Because we've had opportunities,
we've had the money, we've had Super Bowls. dangled
in front of us and these they still didn't do
it yeah excuse me oh sure so they're just they're
not gonna no no it's not gonna happen on that
it would have to be a totally brand new stadium
in order to have any kind of roof or retractable
roof or anything well um i mean i'm not saying
it's going to happen but what i'm saying is the
money supply is there for a nicer stadium in
johnson county and we're talking football not
baseball Baseball is a downtown, traditionally
a downtown thing. Yeah. You know, like the Patriots
are in Foxborough. Because there's so many day
games. You know, you take the day games during
the week, you know, take the afternoon off from
work, the stadium's right there, go see a game.
A lot of people that work downtown do that. They're
like, yeah, I'm leaving at noon, we're going
to be at the ballpark at 1 o 'clock to watch
whatever. Yeah. So it makes optimal sense. And
also if you have people in town. visiting your
business it's a really good venture too it's
like hey whether you work downtown and they're
there or not it's like hey let's go to downtown
kansas so you can kind of look around ahead of
time and then we go you know to the game which
is down yeah that's a big benefit of baseball
is they play 10 times the games that football
does so there's huge numbers of opportunities
to go game even just a part of a game well i
mean the look at the uh the cardinals uh in st
louis Right there in the openings, you can see
the arch. You can see the Mississippi River.
It is beautiful where they put it. And then they
have the stadium area there with all the shops.
Yeah. It really rebuilt that area of downtown.
Yeah, every time your home game is shown on TV,
it's an advertisement for your city. Yeah, we're
Kansas City. It's not an advertisement. They're
so far away. They can never show the stadium
with a skyline or P &L or Arthur Bryant's or
whatever barbecue place they want to put it.
The skyline off in the distance or they show
the interstate that's going by. Yeah, and that's
it. Lovely. Yeah. That's what they do at the
Hall of Fame game in Canton, Ohio. Yeah, there's
nothing else. There's nothing there. All they
do is show you the interstate that's going by.
There's I -85. And, yeah. Yeah, I think downtown
baseball and then suburban football stadium,
Johnson County is fine with me. Wyandotte County
is fine with me. Yeah, suburban football is not
an atrocity like it is in baseball. Baseball
is like, what? You can't do that. That's got
to be downtown. So I think that that is the perfect
scenario for Kansas City. And Arrowhead might
go to Wyandotte County, actually. I mean, because
think about it. over there in the complex, right
next to the Speedway and Sporting Kansas City,
would be perfect. And Wyandotte County has the
benefit of they have land that's already cleared,
ready and available in a good spot. In Johnson
County, you're going to have to clear some land
or else build a lot of infrastructure. out to
the point where you do have clear land, and then
it's going to be farther out. So Wyandotte County
makes more sense. And they also have a unified
government that can work together, which we do
not over here on this side of the state line.
Yeah, and even Johnson County, they've got their
own county government. Yeah. All the little city
governments. Yeah, Wyandotte County, it's all
one government. If you're in Wyandotte County,
there's one government for you. One government
to deal with. It's so much easier. And look how
much they've gotten done over there. When I started
in 1988 in Wyandotte County delivering mail,
it was vastly different. Vastly different. And
then they made all those changes. They restructured
things. They passed new laws. they just did a
ton of stuff and then the expansion was enormous
and when i started in 88 wyandotte county really
was the very common bud of the joke oh yeah no
no it was like you don't want to be caught there
yeah and now it's kind of like oh yeah the legends
is over there and the soccer games and the speedway
yeah yeah and it was it was really interesting
to see The residents of Wyandotte County, the
pride in their county grew as their county got
better and better. It had more things, and so
many people were coming there to spend their
money and stay in hotels and eat food. The pride
for Wyandotte County just went enormous, way
up. And it's been the best thing that they ever
did, was arrange for all this expansion and growth.
Yeah. Yeah, I agree. I don't think they should
slow down. I think they should keep going. No,
I think so too, and that's why I think it's probably
going to end up there. Yeah. And I think that's
a great idea. Last bullet point I had is Aaron
Rodgers is still floating around out there. His
latest statement is, if I decide to play football,
it'll be for the Steelers. That means if someone
calls him, he'll play football. Yeah, because
the Steelers are like, Yeah, whatever. They're
not pursuing him. They're like, yeah, well, we're
thinking. We're thinking. Are they looking at
Cam Ward maybe? I forgot who they're looking
at. They're looking at drafting a quarterback,
actually. And what can Aaron Rodgers do for you
that your current roster can't? No, no. He's
trying to portray himself as the perfect mentor
now, but you can get other quarterbacks as mentor
for cheaper and don't bring all the baggage and
drama. I really don't think Aaron Rodgers is
worth what you'd have to pay. I don't either.
You don't want him for multi -year, but even
for one year, what's the point for just one year?
Yeah. I really am struggling to think of a team.
that would think it was a good idea to spend
that much money to get one year of Aaron Rodgers.
No. There's so many other ways you could spend
your money to get multiple years of return. I
don't get it. I think the Jets are a lesson learned
for everybody else. Yes, I think so too. I think
before that, if he wouldn't have went to the
Jets and went to a little bit better organization.
he might have been able to pull that off. But
I think now it's just like he had problems with
them. He had problems with the players. They
never could get it together. He didn't have a
very good year. All of that together, and then
the year before, he tore his hamstring. Like
third play of the game. Yeah, so they're like,
no. And that would have been okay if he just
kept his mouth shut during the offseason. Yeah,
if he kept his mouth shut. And been a good team
player, show up, support. Yeah, he didn't do
anything. No, no, he completely screwed it up.
Yeah. So why would you? Would you if you were
pretty much a quarterbackless team? Yeah. And
they said, well, Aaron Rodgers is available or
you can get someone in the draft. I think I would
have been going, I'll get someone in the draft.
Yeah, yeah. Aaron Rodgers lobbied so hard to
get Devontae Adams last season. And it did him
nothing. He promised it would turn things around.
Now they're both gone. That's another thing.
That's a good point right there. He's like, you
give me this guy and it's going to work. And
then they got him that guy. They may have gotten
worse. Yeah, because he was trying to force things
to Devontae. Yeah, he kept throwing interceptions
for a while there. Yeah. I really don't know
that Aaron Rodgers is going to be in the league
next year. I kind of doubt it. How about Devontae
Adams? Do you think there's anything left there?
Do you think that maybe he's got a little bit
of that mental stuff that a lot of wide receivers
have? Yeah, I would not use him as a starter.
Not right now, not the way he looks. I wouldn't
even put him in a slot. I think I'd be second
string for one of my two starting wide receivers
and put him in situations and spell a guy. He
would be really good for a Chiefs organization
as a complement to the real guys. He's got the
talent, but his mind, I'm not sure where his
mind is at right now. Yeah, yeah, he reminds
me of the... His desire and will may be not there.
Yeah, so, okay. You got something else you want
to go into? It's about all I can remember with
the football. Yeah, I got a list. We can do this
for a little bit, but it's going to get boring.
The Tennessee Titans are reportedly looking at
Cam Ward from Miami, but I thought Pittsburgh
was too. They kind of changed a lot of this since
I printed it out because this is designed for
two weeks ago, and things have changed dramatically
since then. So he's a senior quarterback out
of Miami. Ward said at his pro day that he was
solidifying his draft status. But this connection
has been obvious for some time. The Titans need
a new quarterback, and Ward possesses leadership,
arm strength, and platform playmaking ability
to be an excellent starter. Leadership part's
good. Yes. And the other ones I hear is maybe
the Rams are thinking about moving up. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, because they like, of course, I can't remember
anything. Stafford. Stafford, they like Matthew
Stafford, but he's getting older and his skill
set has declined, and they want that guy coming
up underneath him, learning the good things from
Stafford, and then going out with his own ability.
That might be why they let Cooper Cupp go, is
because they knew that they didn't have anybody
good enough to really throw to him and take advantage
of him. Yeah, they're just kind of like, okay,
well, we're going to go ahead and look for a
couple of these guys and groom them. Interesting.
So that could be true, but Tennessee Titans have
the first pick. If they're willing to trade it,
I don't know, but they seem to be pretty convinced.
And so if the Rams move up, it's got to be that
Tennessee didn't pick Cam or decide to go another
route. And really, it seems like in this draft,
the only notable talent on quarterback, now there's
other ones that look good, but the one that stood
out is Cam Ward. All right, the Cleveland Browns
have the second one, and they're supposedly interested
in Travis Hunter out of Colorado. Oh, that's
another thing, too. Shador Sanders, not Sandor,
Sander. Shador Sanders, Dion's son, is coming
out, too. That's right. There's supposedly a
lot of interest in him. Yeah, I caught part of
a discussion about where he would be a good fit.
but it was a radio show, and the guys were talking
over each other, and then they started talking
about food. 610 AM? Well, it is a 610 AM. It
was 96 .5. That is 610 AM. Yeah, yeah. Yeah,
I'm not particularly fond of that station. They've
gotten really good at bringing up a subject and
then engaging in distraction and meaningless
speak. to kind of draw things out and draw things
out. Just like us. Yeah, pretty much, yeah. It's
a talent you develop. It's like, I've got about
10 minutes of material, but I've got an hour
show, no problem. Especially this time of year.
Yeah, Kevin Kietzman was always really good at
that. Oh, Kevin Kietzman, though, Kevin Kietzman
was, and still is, a very clever person. Yeah.
He has that natural ability to go into something
that's polarizing when there's nothing there.
Yeah. He figures it out. To me, Kevin Keatsman
could have been a very good national guy. Yeah,
yeah. He needed a little more discipline. He
opened his mouth when he shouldn't have. But
that also made him, too. Yeah, yeah. I mean,
not necessarily on the Chiefs and the whole Tyreek
Hill situation and Andy Reid and all that. It
kind of pushed him into the situation he needed
to be in to succeed. Yeah, yeah, and his podcast
is very successful. He also has a radio show
one hour on weekdays, 11 a .m. on 7, 10 a .m.
KCMO and 94 .5 or something like that on the
FM dial. So his non -compete ran out. Oh, wow.
I find it interesting that he did not cut his
podcast, and he didn't go very long on his new
show. One hour, and then the podcast, and he's
good with that. I think that's excellent. Yeah.
And plus the buyout of that station, you know,
that he owned part of. Yeah. Yeah, so they had
to give him a big check on the way out the door,
too. Yeah, yeah. Unless he has a gambling problem,
he's pretty well set. No, I don't think he does.
Let's see. So, Travis Hunter, Colorado. He's
a quarterback wide receiver. So. And he claims,
he says he's not going to go to a team that's
not going to use him in dual situations. He wants
to be a Deion Sanders type of guy. He wants to
be used on both. He wants to be Slash. Yes, he
wants to be Slash. Without all the terrible shit
Cordell Stewart couldn't do. You know, that's
really going to limit him on which team takes
him, though. The Cleveland Browns are dumb enough
to. Yeah. So I'm saying that that's probably
correct. Yeah, it's going to have to be a desperate
team who really desperately needs a quarterback.
Yep. And that's not many of them. No. And then
here comes Shador Sanders. My friend, his last
name's Sandor, that's why I said Sanders. Shador
Sanders, Colorado quarterback. He's a senior,
of course. Neon Dion's son. New York Giants.
I don't think, look, I know it's the New York
market, but I don't see him wanting to go there
because, and I've heard little things here and
there, like, he may not be really wanting to
go there. Yeah. Gosh, that's an awful gamble.
I mean, if you go there and you're successful
and you turn it around, then you're a legend.
But the chances of that are pretty slim. You've
got to look at the track record of the Giants
organization. They don't spend money. They don't
care much about doing the right thing. They just
plod along in mediocrity and never taking chances.
So, okay, Shador, I think, is the kind of guy
that would have to come up in an Andy Reid situation.
Yeah. Not what they got going on over there in
the Giants. Rotating door head coaches. Yeah,
I think he might be ruined by that franchise,
so why would he want to go there? They have nothing.
Yeah, I would recommend he sit out a year rather
than go play for the Giants. I would too. You
know what? His pops is really intelligent, so
his pops is going to tell him what he needs to
do. Yeah. And well -connected, so I'm sure he's
already talking to all these teams. I think he
already knows where he's going to go to. He's
already talked about it. They already called
and said, hey, Dion. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're
going to get your son. Do you think you can maybe
figure out something? I'm sure. He's got a lot
of pulls still. Yeah, yeah. The next one would
be the Jaguars. Mason Graham, a defensive tackle.
I agree with that 100%. even though they paid
so much money to the big hippie, Trevor Lawrence,
that why would they want him? They're not there
yet. Everyone else is starting to realize that
Trevor Lawrence really isn't getting any better.
He's just kind of being Trevor Lawrence. Yeah,
he's not spectacular. He's not horrible. He's
like an Alex Smith. He's good, but how far is
he going to take you if you do make the playoffs?
You're like Marty Schottenheimer, man. He'll
get you most of the way there, then break your
heart. Yes. But lately he hasn't even been getting
them there. No, no. And, I mean, last year was
bullshit, that hit that was put on him. Oh, yeah.
That guy right there, he should be in jail for
a while. Yeah, I really think that criminal charges
should have been filed on that, but the NFL,
I realize they don't want to get that started.
No, they don't. They don't want to put their
foot in that bowl of shit. Yeah, yeah. They don't
want to let the legal system into their league.
Yes, because then everything is going to be legislated,
and that's the worst thing that could happen
to any business. So Las Vegas Raiders. I heard
this change too. Ashton Gentee, or Gentee, I
think it's Gentee. Ashton Gentee, Boise State,
a running back, and he's a junior. I find it
particularly odd that they're going for a running
back. Yeah, who drafts running backs in the first
round anymore? Well, they have Pete Carroll and
they have Tom Brady, so I think this is completely
wrong. This is what they think is going to happen.
I don't think that's going to happen. Or a smokescreen.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That would make more sense
to me is focus over here and think we're getting
this guy. But with Pete Carroll and Tom Brady,
why wouldn't they go for a quarterback or a wide
receiver? Or an offensive lineman. Brady was
a low pick, a very low pick. Maybe he's thinking
the same thing about the next guy from there.
He's like, no, no, no, I was picked late. We've
just got to pick the right guy. Yeah, we can
grow him into a new Tom Brady. Some of it was
Tom Brady's ability, but a lot of it was his
training, his studying, the work he put into
it. At first, it was a defense. The defense won
those Super Bowls, and Tom Brady just did not
screw it up. Yeah, he grew into the guy he is
now. He didn't start that way. I can see Tom
saying, yeah, I can make another one of me. I
think so, too. All right, New York Jets, Jackson
Dart, Mississippi quarterback. He's a senior.
I do like him a lot. Yeah? He has a good scrambling
ability. He seems to have a good sense of where
to throw the football. I don't think that I saw
a lot of Mississippi games last year. No, I looked
him up on purpose. To me, he might be the dark
horse. Because the Jets, they have Justin Fields.
But is he going to be the guy even on the Jets?
Probably not. The Panthers, Tyler Warren, he's
a tight end. He looks reasonable. I can see the
Panthers needing a tight end, definitely. A blocking
tight end who can catch rather than a catching
tight end who's iffy on the blocks. Yeah. Bryce
Young, I think, needs a target like that. So
I like this Perry. He's tall, strong. He's going
to be close to the line of scrimmage. Yeah. He's
going to be your outlet guy a lot of the time.
Yeah, he's like a Jamar Chase to a Joe Burrow
or something like that. You know, he's that guy
that's like no one, no one. Oh, Harry. There
we go. Yep. Bryce Young is going to get much
better for that guy in the lineup. I predict.
If he goes like he looks like he's going to go.
Yeah. Anything could happen, of course. So the
eight, Jalen Walker, linebacker, junior, I don't
know that much about him. Do you? No. Chicago
Bears are going to get a babble snatch out of
Missouri. Offensive tackle, junior, don't know
that much about him, even though he's a Missouri
guy. Yeah, O -tackle is a good choice for the
Bears. Yes, I think so too. The Cowboys. Who
cares? You know, like I said, this gets boring
after a while, so I'm going to end it right there.
We can go into some more later. But, you know,
they already listened to their minutes, so what
do we care? Have you got anything else you want
to go into or you want to go into the music creeps?
I think we should switch to the music creeps.
Let's do that. I've got some stuff for that.
All right. Okay. Everybody, thank you for listening.
Go fuck yourself.
