WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.000
Well, since the sports show can't be called two

00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:06.540
douchebags with a microphone, maybe we could

00:00:06.540 --> 00:00:13.339
just call them the sports bastards. Hello? Tomorrow

00:00:13.339 --> 00:00:15.640
morning, while grinding your coffee beans for

00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:18.480
your double mocha latte, tomorrow morning, while

00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:20.800
grinding your coffee beans for your double mocha

00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:23.719
latte, remember to not get your genitals caught

00:00:23.719 --> 00:00:28.079
in the grinder. Stay safe, everyone. No bat light

00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:30.640
here. These idiots just show up and hope for

00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:34.640
the best. This is the Sports Bastards. We're

00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:37.060
lucky to be alive the way everybody fucking drives

00:00:37.060 --> 00:00:40.020
here in this big -ass town. Yes, we're thanking

00:00:40.020 --> 00:00:42.820
God right now that we're still alive and Mark's

00:00:42.820 --> 00:00:45.200
car is in one piece because it seemed like eight

00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:47.659
different drivers tried to kill us today. Yeah.

00:00:47.979 --> 00:00:52.320
It was crazy. People, you're fucking idiots.

00:00:54.570 --> 00:00:57.469
The end. Can we try to do just one thing at a

00:00:57.469 --> 00:00:59.770
time if you're driving? Maybe it'd be the one

00:00:59.770 --> 00:01:01.890
thing you're doing at that time. Or maybe hire

00:01:01.890 --> 00:01:05.290
a fucking chimpanzee to drive. I swear, bring

00:01:05.290 --> 00:01:07.349
on the self -driving cars, man, because people

00:01:07.349 --> 00:01:10.849
can't be trusted anymore. It's crazy. I want

00:01:10.849 --> 00:01:12.790
a governor in people's cars that are proving

00:01:12.790 --> 00:01:15.909
to be idiots that if they drive like idiots,

00:01:15.989 --> 00:01:18.549
it shuts itself down. Yeah. I'm not going to

00:01:18.549 --> 00:01:20.450
do this anymore. You're a fucking moron. Then

00:01:20.450 --> 00:01:22.489
people would pound their chest about personal

00:01:22.489 --> 00:01:25.090
rights. Yeah, yeah, yeah. As if driving a car

00:01:25.090 --> 00:01:27.290
is a constitutional right or some shit like that.

00:01:27.310 --> 00:01:29.030
And we know who the idiots are. You know, you

00:01:29.030 --> 00:01:32.129
see them all the time. Yes. I think shoelaces

00:01:32.129 --> 00:01:36.810
are evil. Why else would they take them away

00:01:36.810 --> 00:01:40.709
from mental patients? Yes. Their little man bun

00:01:40.709 --> 00:01:42.409
gets tightened, which means they're ovulating.

00:01:43.349 --> 00:01:52.200
Yeah. So, I've got some grades here from ESPN

00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:55.799
.com of the draft. All righty. All right, you

00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:58.359
want to start with Kansas City? Of course. They

00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:02.659
got an A, actually. Oh, wow. Which surprised

00:02:02.659 --> 00:02:04.560
me because a lot of people took a shit on it.

00:02:04.700 --> 00:02:07.459
Yeah, that's, of course, YouTube will feed me

00:02:07.459 --> 00:02:09.500
videos, whatever they think I'm going to click

00:02:09.500 --> 00:02:12.240
on. So they were feeding me videos saying how

00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:14.699
the Chiefs sucked. Oh, no, I saw those same things.

00:02:14.699 --> 00:02:15.919
Their dynasty's over. That's what I'm talking

00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:17.460
about. Just on and on. Because they're trying

00:02:17.460 --> 00:02:19.759
to goad me into clicking on it. And also it's

00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:21.979
wishful thinking on a lot of people, too. I think

00:02:21.979 --> 00:02:24.360
so. I think so. People cannot wait for you to

00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:27.039
top the mountain so they can push you off. Yep.

00:02:27.949 --> 00:02:30.129
They're, like, cheering you up the mountain,

00:02:30.169 --> 00:02:31.689
and by the time you get there, it's, yeah, we're

00:02:31.689 --> 00:02:33.629
tired of you. Who's next? Same people with the

00:02:33.629 --> 00:02:35.789
Brady thing. Oh, he was the underdog. He was

00:02:35.789 --> 00:02:37.370
the last pick in the, I don't know, whatever

00:02:37.370 --> 00:02:41.610
draft. Yeah. 1999 draft or whatever it was. He

00:02:41.610 --> 00:02:45.770
was the last pick. Oh, we were so excited for

00:02:45.770 --> 00:02:47.729
him. He wasn't even supposed to be there, you

00:02:47.729 --> 00:02:49.009
know, and all this stuff. Yeah, it was Brock

00:02:49.009 --> 00:02:50.789
Purdy, too. He was the very last pick. Brock

00:02:50.789 --> 00:02:53.719
Purdy was the sexy one. Yeah. Yeah, so. That's

00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:55.680
the way people are. Well, I mean, look, they're

00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:59.259
driving. They're idiots. Now, I've done some

00:02:59.259 --> 00:03:01.900
idiotic shit, too, so I'm not above it. No, no,

00:03:01.939 --> 00:03:05.139
no. So, yeah, not starting this on a negative

00:03:05.139 --> 00:03:06.819
tone. I'm just starting off telling you about

00:03:06.819 --> 00:03:08.860
our day coming here. Yeah, the adrenaline is

00:03:08.860 --> 00:03:10.759
still pumping a little bit. We'll settle down

00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:16.780
once we get that caffeine going. Yeah, yes. The

00:03:16.780 --> 00:03:19.699
Chiefs are counting, this is what ESPN .com says,

00:03:19.900 --> 00:03:21.740
the Chiefs are counting on the return of two

00:03:21.740 --> 00:03:23.759
top receivers who missed most of last season

00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:26.379
with injuries. Rasheed Rice led the league with

00:03:26.379 --> 00:03:29.280
24 catches through the first three games before

00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:32.360
a season -ending knee injury, which, yeah, he

00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:34.979
was on a hell of a pace. While Hollywood Brown

00:03:34.979 --> 00:03:38.060
played in only two regular season games because

00:03:38.060 --> 00:03:41.879
of a sternovascular injury. Yeah, and preseason.

00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:44.520
That hurts. Yeah. Yeah, that hurts like hell.

00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:47.719
I'm sure it does. A sterno, that would just,

00:03:47.780 --> 00:03:50.280
yeah. Yeah. I mean, anything there would be very

00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:53.919
painful. So, Rice and Brown will combine with

00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:56.840
Xavier Worthy to give the Chiefs a potent group

00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:59.680
of wideouts with the selection of fourth -rounder

00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:02.419
Jalen Royals. Yeah, I saw that one. Yeah, that

00:04:02.419 --> 00:04:04.900
looked like a good pick. Yeah. He catches one

00:04:04.900 --> 00:04:07.400
-handed beautifully, as good as I've ever seen

00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:10.439
anyone do it. He just reaches his hand out, cuffs

00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:13.000
the ball without thinking about it. He's a natural.

00:04:13.300 --> 00:04:16.240
And he's fast. And we'll still have Kelsey and

00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:19.319
Gray coming on as good receivers. And I'd like

00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:24.120
to see him passing to the running back a little

00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:26.939
more often too. I think that's going to happen.

00:04:27.540 --> 00:04:30.060
Here's what I think is going to go on. Okay,

00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:34.319
first off, I think this is the year you see Gray.

00:04:34.910 --> 00:04:38.269
being close to Kelsey. Yeah, yeah, I can see

00:04:38.269 --> 00:04:39.889
that. They're shifting some of the weight over.

00:04:39.970 --> 00:04:42.730
It's obvious to see. And then on running backs,

00:04:42.790 --> 00:04:46.410
they're doing the same thing. Kareem Hunt, Pacheco,

00:04:46.529 --> 00:04:49.069
the guy that I can never think of his name from

00:04:49.069 --> 00:04:53.870
San Francisco. Mitchell. Mitchell, yeah. So all

00:04:53.870 --> 00:04:56.370
of these guys combined, you're going to see a

00:04:56.370 --> 00:04:59.050
less workload, which is great because of the

00:04:59.050 --> 00:05:02.420
injuries on Pacheco. Yes. And I also think at

00:05:02.420 --> 00:05:03.720
first you're not going to see a whole lot of

00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:05.759
Pacheco. People are going to question and go,

00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:09.220
oh, he must be in the doghouse. Oh, yeah, they'll

00:05:09.220 --> 00:05:10.459
start that. Yeah, they're going to go, well,

00:05:10.540 --> 00:05:12.839
he came in with a bad attitude and refused to

00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:15.319
work out. Out of nothing. It didn't really happen.

00:05:15.459 --> 00:05:17.399
And all they're doing is they're saving him for

00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:21.240
the playoffs. That's actually a good plan. I

00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:23.879
think there's a clear mission like we talked

00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:26.519
about last week when we could hear each other.

00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:31.290
What we talked about last week is. Mahomes cut

00:05:31.290 --> 00:05:34.350
off the Mohawk and got rid of the dad bod. He's

00:05:34.350 --> 00:05:37.750
pissed. He hears all the little chatter, the

00:05:37.750 --> 00:05:40.389
talking little bitches like Skip Tard and all

00:05:40.389 --> 00:05:43.209
those little guys waving their tiny little fists

00:05:43.209 --> 00:05:47.089
in the air going, I told you so. I told you so

00:05:47.089 --> 00:05:49.069
means you went to the last five Super Bowls,

00:05:49.069 --> 00:05:51.069
won three of them. That's an I told you so? Yeah.

00:05:53.329 --> 00:05:55.860
Duh. Yeah, but I understand you getting sick

00:05:55.860 --> 00:05:58.060
of the criticism. When you're on top, the criticism

00:05:58.060 --> 00:06:00.220
is a little easier to handle, but then when you

00:06:00.220 --> 00:06:02.220
stumble and everyone starts pointing and laughing,

00:06:02.259 --> 00:06:04.279
it's like, all right, I'm going to make sure

00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:07.459
I don't stumble in front of you again. Yes. Yeah.

00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:10.240
And also, he's a very nice guy, but how can he

00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:12.040
not think, I'm going to stuff this up their ass?

00:06:13.500 --> 00:06:15.839
He's competitive. Of course he's thinking that.

00:06:15.860 --> 00:06:18.480
Exactly. You want a competitive guy leading your

00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:20.920
team. Makes sense. Here's what I got for you

00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:24.209
guys to do that. Thanks. Thanks for poking the

00:06:24.209 --> 00:06:26.110
bear. Oh, absolutely, yeah. The bear's not happy.

00:06:26.550 --> 00:06:29.389
And all the ones who were talking about, you

00:06:29.389 --> 00:06:30.790
know, the Chiefs aren't going to win the division.

00:06:31.009 --> 00:06:33.149
Okay, we're better on the road anyway in the

00:06:33.149 --> 00:06:36.170
playoffs. Playoffs? Playoffs, yeah. So either

00:06:36.170 --> 00:06:38.649
way, man, either way. Doesn't matter. We won

00:06:38.649 --> 00:06:41.610
the Super Bowl only having one home game. Yeah.

00:06:41.829 --> 00:06:45.269
And that was after everybody, including me, X'd

00:06:45.269 --> 00:06:47.949
us off. Yeah. After that Christmas Day game that

00:06:47.949 --> 00:06:50.980
woke them up. Oh, yeah. It would have been exciting

00:06:50.980 --> 00:06:52.920
if they could have done all this last year and

00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:54.699
done the three -peat because no one's ever done

00:06:54.699 --> 00:06:58.399
it before. But, eh, it's just a stat. You know,

00:06:58.420 --> 00:07:00.939
let's take another win. Let's take another Super

00:07:00.939 --> 00:07:04.000
Bowl trophy home. Yes. Yeah, they're like, yeah,

00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:07.800
here it goes. All right, that was Adam Teicher.

00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:10.379
So he knows the Chiefs, and you know what, I

00:07:10.379 --> 00:07:13.759
trust him. He's very fair. Yeah, he's got that

00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:17.519
reputation with me anyway. He's not homering.

00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:21.339
He's not a Bob Brett's was or something like

00:07:21.339 --> 00:07:23.879
that. If he thinks the Chiefs are screwing up,

00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:26.379
he'll be the first one on him. So I trust his

00:07:26.379 --> 00:07:28.920
judgment on this. And also, it's pretty easy

00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:32.279
to see if that wide receiver core stays, it might

00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:34.899
be one of the best ones ever. Yeah, and we got

00:07:34.899 --> 00:07:38.800
the guy to throw to him too. So it usually works

00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:41.800
out that way for a year or two. With teams, they

00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:44.220
have the quarterback and the wide receiving core.

00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:48.620
I remember when Dallas had Troy Aikman and Michael

00:07:48.620 --> 00:07:52.220
Irvin. And what was it, Isaac Bruce? Isaac Bruce,

00:07:52.459 --> 00:07:56.819
yeah. In Denver, they had Elway and a couple

00:07:56.819 --> 00:07:59.300
of receivers. They called them the three amigos.

00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:02.759
Three amigos, yeah. So it happens, but it doesn't

00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:06.829
stay. So take advantage of this. Yeah, and then

00:08:06.829 --> 00:08:09.410
it's going to come down to resigning them and

00:08:09.410 --> 00:08:11.569
injuries. Yeah. That's the way it always does.

00:08:11.750 --> 00:08:13.490
Some of these people are going to last a long

00:08:13.490 --> 00:08:15.250
time. Some of them are going to be a flash in

00:08:15.250 --> 00:08:17.569
the pan. It's the nature of football. You get

00:08:17.569 --> 00:08:21.610
hit so much. So enjoy this year coming up. If

00:08:21.610 --> 00:08:23.910
all of them are there and none of them go to

00:08:23.910 --> 00:08:29.250
jail. Yeah, rushy. Yeah. So if all this parlays

00:08:29.250 --> 00:08:33.129
into working out for us, you might see one of

00:08:33.129 --> 00:08:36.580
the best combinations ever. Plus, we're the very

00:08:36.580 --> 00:08:39.220
pissed off Mahomes. It would be really fun also

00:08:39.220 --> 00:08:42.039
to see historic passing and receiving numbers.

00:08:42.299 --> 00:08:44.779
Yeah. That would be fun. That would be great

00:08:44.779 --> 00:08:47.320
because that would be even better for all these

00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:51.159
talking heads that doom and gloomed us. All right.

00:08:52.139 --> 00:08:55.940
So, let's move on. All right. All right, they

00:08:55.940 --> 00:08:59.440
have these in numerical order of the record of

00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:02.340
last year. Oh, okay, so like reverse draft order.

00:09:02.580 --> 00:09:07.629
Yeah. All right. Philadelphia Eagles, they ranked

00:09:07.629 --> 00:09:11.649
a B -. Okay. I mean, that's not bad, I mean,

00:09:11.649 --> 00:09:13.730
considering... Considering how late you draft

00:09:13.730 --> 00:09:16.870
every round, too. Yes, that's true. The Eagles

00:09:16.870 --> 00:09:19.149
lost a bunch of talent on defense this offseason.

00:09:19.269 --> 00:09:22.169
Oh, yeah. With departures of Ed Rusher's Josh

00:09:22.169 --> 00:09:25.570
Sweat and Brandon Graham. Quarterback Darius

00:09:25.570 --> 00:09:28.669
Slade Jr., safety C .J. Garner -Johnson, and

00:09:28.669 --> 00:09:31.110
defensive tackle Milton Williams. I won't miss

00:09:31.110 --> 00:09:34.730
any of them, by the way. Yeah. It was a different

00:09:34.730 --> 00:09:36.850
story at linebackers. They re -signed Zach Bond,

00:09:37.049 --> 00:09:40.450
a lucrative contract, selected Jihad Campbell

00:09:40.450 --> 00:09:44.169
in the first round, and then added Smil Mondin

00:09:44.169 --> 00:09:47.309
Jr. in the fifth. I like that guy. He's named

00:09:47.309 --> 00:09:50.789
Jihad Campbell. You know what Jihad means? War.

00:09:50.870 --> 00:09:56.470
Holy War. Holy War. Holy War Campbell. That's

00:09:56.470 --> 00:10:00.309
pretty funny. That is. What's your name translated?

00:10:01.769 --> 00:10:04.190
Can we just skip that? No, what's your name?

00:10:05.389 --> 00:10:12.210
Holy War. What? So, all right. So, Nekobe Dean

00:10:12.210 --> 00:10:17.029
is still recovering from a torn patellar tendon.

00:10:18.129 --> 00:10:20.230
That's the one that keeps your kneecap in place.

00:10:20.830 --> 00:10:24.870
That sounds to me like not a very good injury

00:10:24.870 --> 00:10:29.960
to have in his position of what he does. So,

00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:32.200
there's plenty of options at linebacker once

00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:37.700
he is healthy, is what they're saying. NFL experts

00:10:37.700 --> 00:10:42.940
rank them, like I said, let's see. B - I think

00:10:42.940 --> 00:10:45.419
you said. Yeah, B - there. Sorry, this thing

00:10:45.419 --> 00:10:47.779
jumbled together. Yeah. You know when it prints

00:10:47.779 --> 00:10:50.419
out, it's that weird. Yeah, so, all right. But

00:10:50.419 --> 00:10:52.379
that is good for the, I mean, the Eagles definitely,

00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:56.250
they lost. as you said, on defense. But with

00:10:56.250 --> 00:10:59.789
this draft and stuff, I can see them being the

00:10:59.789 --> 00:11:03.450
front runner to be the Super Bowl champions for

00:11:03.450 --> 00:11:06.610
2025. I can definitely see them being everyone's

00:11:06.610 --> 00:11:07.750
first pick. Oh, I can see that too. I can see

00:11:07.750 --> 00:11:11.149
that too. Yeah. All right, number three is Buffalo

00:11:11.149 --> 00:11:14.509
Bills. Well, that's just what we need is for

00:11:14.509 --> 00:11:17.730
the Bills to have a good draft. They got to be.

00:11:18.370 --> 00:11:21.519
Well. Their most improved position is defensive

00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:24.159
line, which is something that they did need.

00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:27.919
I think they signed a wide receiver in free agency.

00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:29.720
I think you're right. To help their receivers

00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:31.860
more because they seem to need receivers all

00:11:31.860 --> 00:11:36.519
the time. All right. There is no area the Bills

00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:38.480
have addressed more thoroughly this offseason

00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:41.220
than the defensive line. They selected three

00:11:41.220 --> 00:11:43.980
players for the unit in the draft, TJ Sanders,

00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:48.860
Landon Jackson, and Deion Walker. Even after

00:11:48.860 --> 00:11:51.539
adding Joey Bosa, I forgot they added him. Oh,

00:11:51.539 --> 00:11:55.220
that's right. Michael Hecht. Hocht. Whatever.

00:11:55.460 --> 00:12:01.259
H -O -E -C -H -T. Hocht? Hecht. Hecht. Yeah,

00:12:01.340 --> 00:12:03.440
usually O -E is pronounced. That's what I thought.

00:12:03.620 --> 00:12:07.159
That was my first thought. Yeah. Okay. And Larry

00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:12.399
Ogunobi. Oh, I've heard that name. Yeah. In free

00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:20.360
agency. The team signed Greg Russo to a four

00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:22.779
-year contract extension by bringing in youth

00:12:22.779 --> 00:12:25.799
and veterans. The Bills have overhauled a 2024

00:12:25.799 --> 00:12:28.779
group that was a part of the worst passing defense

00:12:28.779 --> 00:12:32.039
and third -down defense, 44 % conversion rate.

00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:36.139
Wow. I didn't realize that last year. Yep. Sean

00:12:36.139 --> 00:12:38.840
McDermott was embarrassed, pretty much is what

00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:41.620
they're saying, in long -term form. So I'll just

00:12:41.620 --> 00:12:49.919
go on. Number four, Detroit Lions. The most improved

00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:53.720
position is the offensive line. For the past

00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:56.000
three seasons, offensive line has been one of

00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:58.580
the strongest units on the roster. However, after

00:12:58.580 --> 00:13:02.179
losing veteran guard Kevin Zeiters, I think it's

00:13:02.179 --> 00:13:05.559
Zeiters. Babelsnatch. Yeah, Babelsnatch. To the

00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:08.100
Titans and free agency, Lions general manager

00:13:08.100 --> 00:13:11.860
Brad Holmes. Use draft picks to keep that unit

00:13:11.860 --> 00:13:16.059
rolling. Oh, by the way, they gave them a C.

00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:18.860
Oh, that's a good. Yeah, they didn't like them.

00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:20.519
Because they're going to have trouble reloading.

00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:23.059
Yeah. After the way they exited the playoffs

00:13:23.059 --> 00:13:28.899
last season. Well, okay. Jared Goff. It all starts

00:13:28.899 --> 00:13:32.159
and ends with him. Yeah. You have to have a big

00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:36.679
-name guy doing big -name stuff. Yeah. I mean.

00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:40.789
And a little more. strategic depth at head coach

00:13:40.789 --> 00:13:44.529
because the guy there is a real rah -rah cheerleader

00:13:44.529 --> 00:13:46.750
type. And that works as long as you've got at

00:13:46.750 --> 00:13:48.950
least somebody or three somebodies on your staff

00:13:48.950 --> 00:13:54.610
that is a chess player, so to speak. So that,

00:13:54.610 --> 00:13:58.330
I think, was a glaring error in their playoff

00:13:58.330 --> 00:14:02.269
run last season. I 100 % agree. They outfought

00:14:02.269 --> 00:14:05.330
the head coach. Yes. Yeah, I would agree with

00:14:05.330 --> 00:14:13.860
that 100%. So, they, let's see, he drafted versatile

00:14:13.860 --> 00:14:17.299
offensive linemen in Tate Ratledge and Miles

00:14:17.299 --> 00:14:20.559
Frazier, who will be trained at different positions

00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:23.740
so they can beef up the O -line. These rookies,

00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:26.080
which they need to do, because we all know that

00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:28.740
Jared Goff sees one finger in his vision, he

00:14:28.740 --> 00:14:32.559
throws the ball very oddly. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:14:32.919 --> 00:14:35.460
What do you call that when he's, like, trigger

00:14:35.460 --> 00:14:39.460
happy? Yeah, yeah, yeah. He is actually a more

00:14:39.460 --> 00:14:42.340
talented Jameis Winston, a more disciplined,

00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:45.360
a more disciplined. Yeah, I can see that because

00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:49.340
Jameis, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he's one of these guys

00:14:49.340 --> 00:14:52.120
that you get a finger in his face and he's fucking

00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:55.159
happy. He's like, I think that's one of my guys

00:14:55.159 --> 00:14:56.899
there. I better throw it to them. There's a finger

00:14:56.899 --> 00:15:01.879
in my face. And they have veterans like Graham

00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:06.100
Glasgow who strived in the NFL due to his positional

00:15:06.100 --> 00:15:09.700
versatility. So what I'm gathering this, not

00:15:09.700 --> 00:15:12.620
knowing the Lions as well as they do, is maybe

00:15:12.620 --> 00:15:14.820
one of their problems is they use too many people

00:15:14.820 --> 00:15:16.960
in too many positions and they need someone solid

00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:21.639
at one position. Yeah. Yeah, that kind of says

00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:25.220
that without saying it, doesn't it? Yeah. I remember

00:15:25.220 --> 00:15:28.240
the O -line of the Chiefs from the 90s. We had

00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:31.639
such an offensive line. It was so amazing. And

00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:33.960
it was the continuity. I remember Grunhardt was

00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:37.470
saying all we'd have to do is give a look. to

00:15:37.470 --> 00:15:39.350
the guy next to him or lift a finger, and he

00:15:39.350 --> 00:15:42.110
knew exactly what I meant, we can communicate

00:15:42.110 --> 00:15:44.370
like that. But if you're shifting guys around,

00:15:44.649 --> 00:15:47.429
you don't get that kind of communication. Plus,

00:15:47.529 --> 00:15:49.470
you've got to stop thinking about being left

00:15:49.470 --> 00:15:51.990
guard and now think about being right guard or

00:15:51.990 --> 00:15:57.710
left tackle or whatever. It's a handicap. And

00:15:57.710 --> 00:16:02.169
you do that if you have to, but, yeah, if you

00:16:02.169 --> 00:16:03.750
can get out from under that, that's definitely

00:16:03.750 --> 00:16:06.720
going to help you. I think you're right. And

00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:09.279
Goff needs as good a line as he can get. Yeah,

00:16:09.299 --> 00:16:13.559
and, I mean, honestly, they need to find that

00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:15.720
guy in the draft. And I'm talking about a quarterback.

00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:20.600
Goff is getting older. And he's been to the Super

00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:24.320
Bowl one time and shit down his leg. Yeah. He's

00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:27.080
not the guy. I would not have been surprised

00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:29.779
to see the Lions picture Der Sanders in the first

00:16:29.779 --> 00:16:33.919
round. No, I know. I think that, you know. Maybe

00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:36.360
Shadur's playing style doesn't fit what they've

00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:39.639
got in Detroit, but apart from that, I don't

00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:42.399
see why he wouldn't work there. Well, I mean,

00:16:42.419 --> 00:16:44.200
all the things that we talked about last week

00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:47.440
about his slide, I think the NFL's out to prove

00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:50.799
something. And they're like, you think that you

00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:56.120
control us? You do not. And I think that's what

00:16:56.120 --> 00:16:59.740
it's all about is, and also, it's a team attitude.

00:17:00.409 --> 00:17:02.470
They don't like a person going, I, I, I, me,

00:17:02.570 --> 00:17:04.690
me, me. That has been proven not to work. Yeah,

00:17:04.750 --> 00:17:07.230
yeah. They want a guy that comes in hat in hand.

00:17:07.849 --> 00:17:10.990
True, true. I really love this community. The

00:17:10.990 --> 00:17:13.650
grateful employee. Yeah, like Mahomes. He wanted

00:17:13.650 --> 00:17:16.750
to go to the Cowboys, but they drafted Dak Prescott

00:17:16.750 --> 00:17:19.089
the year or two years before, I think two years

00:17:19.089 --> 00:17:21.609
before. His dad went in there and said, I'm sorry,

00:17:21.690 --> 00:17:24.009
you're not going to the Cowboys. He went to the

00:17:24.009 --> 00:17:26.529
Chiefs, and he was so thankful. You know, he

00:17:26.529 --> 00:17:29.119
goes, I love this community. I think we can do

00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:31.180
a lot of great things together. Our ultimate

00:17:31.180 --> 00:17:33.180
goal is the Super Bowl, and we're going to see

00:17:33.180 --> 00:17:37.039
if we can't do it. You don't go, I'm the best

00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:39.240
ever, you know, don't screw with me, you know,

00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:42.900
all this Muhammad Ali stuff. Muhammad Ali could

00:17:42.900 --> 00:17:45.940
do it. True. Because he always backed it up.

00:17:46.559 --> 00:17:50.039
But the door is unproven. Yeah, I kind of got

00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:54.279
a bad taste in my mouth when I was hearing the

00:17:54.279 --> 00:17:59.500
conceit and the arrogance. He showed signs of

00:17:59.500 --> 00:18:01.339
it before that because I've seen him on Twitter

00:18:01.339 --> 00:18:04.519
and stuff or X or whatever saying some stuff.

00:18:04.579 --> 00:18:06.680
And I'm like, you don't have the right to say

00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:10.119
that. Not yet. Not yet. And also, your dad needs

00:18:10.119 --> 00:18:13.839
to get you in the house, set you in the corner

00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:17.880
and say, son, if you want me to back you up at

00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:21.480
all in this NFL, you shut your mouth. Yeah, yeah.

00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:24.940
And you know, if sliding down to the fifth round

00:18:24.940 --> 00:18:27.900
is it, then I'd say they're square. They're even.

00:18:28.099 --> 00:18:30.140
I want to see what he can do in the NFL. Right.

00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:32.420
And, you know, if the NFL from this point forward

00:18:32.420 --> 00:18:34.799
tries to hamper his career to teach him further

00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:37.819
lessons, then I'm all on Shadur's side. Yeah,

00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:40.240
me too. I think the NFL at this point, they've

00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:43.119
made their point. Now they need to be hands -off

00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:45.839
and let this young man have his career. Yeah.

00:18:46.220 --> 00:18:48.279
You know what? You're right. And also, I'm not

00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:51.029
even so sure it's collusion. Oh, I don't think

00:18:51.029 --> 00:18:52.569
it needed to be. No, I don't think it needed

00:18:52.569 --> 00:18:54.609
to be either. I think his action spoke for itself,

00:18:54.789 --> 00:18:56.089
and everyone was like, we don't want anybody

00:18:56.089 --> 00:18:58.829
like that. Yeah. No, you know, any more of the

00:18:58.829 --> 00:19:02.029
thing is team. Like, look at Jalen Hurts and

00:19:02.029 --> 00:19:07.329
the running back, Barkley. Yeah, Barkley. All

00:19:07.329 --> 00:19:10.190
of them didn't have an ego. You know, they pass

00:19:10.190 --> 00:19:12.470
it on to the other guy. You know, they go to

00:19:12.470 --> 00:19:14.769
Barkley, and he's like, you know, Jalen has such

00:19:14.769 --> 00:19:17.730
a good game, and I, you know. Yeah. Even Mahomes

00:19:17.730 --> 00:19:20.240
was like, you know. People always bag on him

00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:21.980
and say, you know, right there you can see the

00:19:21.980 --> 00:19:26.900
guy is a great. You know, good teams have that

00:19:26.900 --> 00:19:29.019
attitude. But then you have someone that comes

00:19:29.019 --> 00:19:31.319
in and, you know, that spoils the whole thing.

00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:35.220
You know, what Shadur Sanders' apparent attitude

00:19:35.220 --> 00:19:38.140
reminds me of is his father's attitude in the

00:19:38.140 --> 00:19:41.119
90s. Yes. Which is, you know, at that time it

00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:44.869
worked. That was expected. It was being... exploited

00:19:44.869 --> 00:19:47.190
and advertised and played up because the audience

00:19:47.190 --> 00:19:50.069
liked that. Look at all these superstars playing

00:19:50.069 --> 00:19:52.910
by their own rules, doing it their way. That

00:19:52.910 --> 00:19:55.230
doesn't fly anymore and I would hope that Dion

00:19:55.230 --> 00:19:57.710
would be smart enough to realize this isn't working.

00:19:58.670 --> 00:20:02.349
But, I don't know. We'll see. I was really surprised

00:20:02.349 --> 00:20:06.589
by the turn of events like you. Yeah. Ego gets

00:20:06.589 --> 00:20:10.029
you nowhere in life, anywhere, anyhow. Let alone

00:20:10.029 --> 00:20:15.470
a team sport. Really. And as I said, football

00:20:15.470 --> 00:20:18.589
is like the ultimate team sport because you're

00:20:18.589 --> 00:20:22.109
all working together on every single play. There

00:20:22.109 --> 00:20:24.109
are baseball players where it plays where the

00:20:24.109 --> 00:20:26.450
first baseman does nothing. He's not involved.

00:20:27.170 --> 00:20:29.730
In a football play, everybody's involved every

00:20:29.730 --> 00:20:34.529
play. So that makes it way more of a team effort.

00:20:35.509 --> 00:20:39.069
And, yeah, if you're going to put up with an

00:20:39.069 --> 00:20:40.970
ego from somebody, they better be delivering

00:20:40.970 --> 00:20:46.359
the Super Bowl rings. Yeah, yeah, I agree. Well,

00:20:46.599 --> 00:20:50.619
I mean, we're going to see what he can do. They're

00:20:50.619 --> 00:20:52.099
going to give him a fair chance. They wouldn't

00:20:52.099 --> 00:20:54.339
have drafted him if he didn't. And also, you're

00:20:54.339 --> 00:20:58.839
talking about pretty much an oarless boat right

00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:01.160
now. Oh, yeah. They have nobody to take control.

00:21:01.339 --> 00:21:04.759
This is a great opportunity for Shador, and here's

00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:08.579
why. If you can turn this team around with attitude

00:21:08.579 --> 00:21:12.279
and talent, you're the man. Yeah, yeah, he's

00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:15.950
got it. All this opportunity to build up the

00:21:15.950 --> 00:21:18.230
stock and worth of himself in the eyes of all

00:21:18.230 --> 00:21:21.470
the other NFL teams by just crushing it in Cleveland

00:21:21.470 --> 00:21:26.170
and not making too much of a fuss. Yeah, and

00:21:26.170 --> 00:21:28.450
being humble about it. Don't go out and go, yeah,

00:21:28.490 --> 00:21:32.450
I threw lights out. Just be like, man, we got

00:21:32.450 --> 00:21:34.549
some of the best receivers. Boy, those guys save

00:21:34.549 --> 00:21:37.150
my ass every day. Love them. Man, that offensive

00:21:37.150 --> 00:21:42.160
line gave me so much time. All right, Baltimore

00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:46.480
Ravens, their ranking was a D -. Oh, yeah. Their

00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:50.960
window might be closing. I kind of view it as,

00:21:51.099 --> 00:21:55.160
and the reason is, is Lamar Jackson is a running

00:21:55.160 --> 00:22:00.339
quarterback, and he's getting older. Oh, yeah,

00:22:00.380 --> 00:22:04.900
every season it's more of a risk, and you're

00:22:04.900 --> 00:22:09.109
risking more of the rest of your season. Josh

00:22:09.109 --> 00:22:12.349
Allen is a running quarterback, but he can make

00:22:12.349 --> 00:22:14.630
that throw. He's an alien anyway. Yeah, he's

00:22:14.630 --> 00:22:19.329
an alien. He's not real. I think that he's AI.

00:22:19.650 --> 00:22:22.609
He's a robot. He could be. I've never seen him

00:22:22.609 --> 00:22:24.990
actually live in person, so he probably doesn't

00:22:24.990 --> 00:22:27.789
exist. He doesn't exist. He's just AI. He's CGI.

00:22:28.069 --> 00:22:32.630
Yeah, that's it. CGI. Hollywood got so good at

00:22:32.630 --> 00:22:38.720
it. The guy, he can... He can throw the ball.

00:22:38.859 --> 00:22:41.900
He can pinpoint a pass. He can throw it anywhere

00:22:41.900 --> 00:22:44.940
it needs to be with accuracy. So he doesn't have

00:22:44.940 --> 00:22:49.299
to run. Jackson has to run. This is true. This

00:22:49.299 --> 00:22:51.700
is true. That is definitely part of their offensive

00:22:51.700 --> 00:22:57.359
mindset is a scampering quarterback. Yes. Although,

00:22:57.400 --> 00:23:00.039
to be fair, Lamar Jackson is a hell of a runner.

00:23:00.430 --> 00:23:02.589
Just say scampering kind of diminishes it. No,

00:23:02.710 --> 00:23:05.710
no, no. He's as good as a lot of running backs

00:23:05.710 --> 00:23:07.150
out there. He's a running back that can throw.

00:23:07.289 --> 00:23:10.930
Yeah, yeah. So no disrespect to Lamar Jackson's

00:23:10.930 --> 00:23:13.710
abilities. I've just never been a fan of running

00:23:13.710 --> 00:23:15.569
quarterbacks because you're risking too much.

00:23:15.589 --> 00:23:17.390
Oh, yeah. And here's another one, too. I could

00:23:17.390 --> 00:23:20.230
go out on a limb and say this. If Lamar Jackson

00:23:20.230 --> 00:23:23.430
was coming out of college and Isaiah Pacheco

00:23:23.430 --> 00:23:25.690
was coming out of college, Lamar Jackson was

00:23:25.690 --> 00:23:27.890
not a quarterback of any means, just a running

00:23:27.890 --> 00:23:31.180
back. I would pick Jackson. I think so too. And

00:23:31.180 --> 00:23:32.799
I could say that for a lot of different runners.

00:23:33.339 --> 00:23:39.519
Yeah. So we'll see. I don't like it. I'm not

00:23:39.519 --> 00:23:41.119
even going to go into it. Someone almost got

00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:45.099
ran over there. Another stupid shit. Even up

00:23:45.099 --> 00:23:47.559
here on the curb and on the patio here, we still

00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:48.759
might get crushed. I'm still watching, yeah.

00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:51.039
That FedEx truck came a little close. I know,

00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:53.220
man. We're both like looking. We didn't say anything

00:23:53.220 --> 00:23:55.250
to each other. We just kept looking like. Is

00:23:55.250 --> 00:23:57.809
he going to keep coming? In my mind, I was saying

00:23:57.809 --> 00:24:03.750
goodbye to my wife. In my mind, I was thinking,

00:24:03.809 --> 00:24:07.349
what did I need to grab first? I was thinking

00:24:07.349 --> 00:24:09.789
laptop. That's probably the first thing. Yeah.

00:24:10.190 --> 00:24:12.410
We didn't have our coffees yet because that would

00:24:12.410 --> 00:24:16.630
have been first. All right. So the Ravens' first

00:24:16.630 --> 00:24:18.569
two draft picks were defensive players who ranked

00:24:18.569 --> 00:24:22.289
among Mel Kuyper Jr.'s top 25 prospects. They

00:24:22.289 --> 00:24:24.309
don't think very much of Mel Kiper Jr., I guess.

00:24:24.549 --> 00:24:31.250
No, no. So, safety Malachi Starks and edge rusher

00:24:31.250 --> 00:24:33.430
Mike Green both will immediately make an impact

00:24:33.430 --> 00:24:37.170
on a Baltimore pass defense that allowed 244

00:24:37.170 --> 00:24:42.410
.1 yards per game in 2024. That's not bad. No,

00:24:42.410 --> 00:24:45.910
wait a minute. 244 yards a game? Yeah, that's

00:24:45.910 --> 00:24:48.430
two and a half times down the field. That's horrible,

00:24:48.509 --> 00:24:51.920
yeah. That's pretty bad. The franchise, I was

00:24:51.920 --> 00:24:54.799
thinking total yards. Total yards, that'd be

00:24:54.799 --> 00:24:58.220
awesome. Yeah. Though passing yards, that's not

00:24:58.220 --> 00:25:00.859
very good. It's less than mediocre. It's bad.

00:25:01.380 --> 00:25:04.680
So the franchise's third worst ever the past

00:25:04.680 --> 00:25:07.740
25 seasons. Baltimore believes Stark's speed

00:25:07.740 --> 00:25:11.220
will reduce explosive plays while Green's explosiveness.

00:25:11.769 --> 00:25:14.349
will disrupt quarterbacks. This combination should

00:25:14.349 --> 00:25:17.009
help finish off games for the Ravens who allowed

00:25:17.009 --> 00:25:19.750
a league -worst 14 touchdown passes in fourth

00:25:19.750 --> 00:25:24.769
quarter last season. All of those are good points.

00:25:25.009 --> 00:25:27.349
Very good, yeah. But they gave them such a bad

00:25:27.349 --> 00:25:30.650
grade. Do they not think they're that good? I

00:25:30.650 --> 00:25:33.549
guess they don't think much of their selections.

00:25:35.150 --> 00:25:37.369
It would be interesting to know if the grades

00:25:37.369 --> 00:25:41.569
are based on, you know. improving the team long

00:25:41.569 --> 00:25:43.849
-term or improving the team for the coming season.

00:25:44.009 --> 00:25:47.210
Yeah. I could see it being graded either way.

00:25:47.690 --> 00:25:50.650
You know, and that's one thing. I'm just using

00:25:50.650 --> 00:25:53.849
this as a template. Yeah. I don't agree with

00:25:53.849 --> 00:25:56.990
some of these grades at all. Yeah, there are

00:25:56.990 --> 00:25:59.910
lists that we've read that it's like, this is

00:25:59.910 --> 00:26:02.069
the list, but I don't quite agree with it. Well,

00:26:02.170 --> 00:26:04.569
to me it's kind of contradictory. They give them

00:26:04.569 --> 00:26:06.750
a bad grade, and the next thing you know, they're

00:26:06.750 --> 00:26:08.990
complimented. It's like, well, which is it? Did

00:26:08.990 --> 00:26:13.549
they suck or not? Anyhow, that's enough of this

00:26:13.549 --> 00:26:15.750
one right now. You got some stuff you want to...

00:26:15.750 --> 00:26:21.710
I'm actually fairly unprepared. I don't have

00:26:21.710 --> 00:26:23.630
anything right off the bat. Okay, well, I can

00:26:23.630 --> 00:26:29.210
go into some more stuff in here. The Washington

00:26:29.210 --> 00:26:36.200
Commanders, they got a B+. It makes an improved

00:26:36.200 --> 00:26:40.059
position in the offensive line. Though other

00:26:40.059 --> 00:26:42.299
areas might be improved, the line has definitely

00:26:42.299 --> 00:26:44.579
gotten better. Washington traded for five -time

00:26:44.579 --> 00:26:49.500
Pro Bowl left tackle Laramie Tunsell. Oh, yeah.

00:26:49.579 --> 00:26:54.619
And drafted tackle Josh Connerly Jr. in the first

00:26:54.619 --> 00:26:58.460
round. Those moves allowed it to move around

00:26:58.460 --> 00:27:01.759
20, 24, third round pick Brandon Coleman, who

00:27:01.759 --> 00:27:04.339
started 15 games, including all three in the

00:27:04.339 --> 00:27:06.900
postseason. It's possible Coleman ends up at

00:27:06.900 --> 00:27:10.920
guard, giving Washington a talented front. Once

00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:14.900
right guard Sam Cosme returns from a torn ACL.

00:27:15.259 --> 00:27:17.720
Oh, yeah. But he's due the first of the year

00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:22.039
to come back. But those also take time to get

00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:24.539
into game shape. Yeah. He might be in the game,

00:27:24.619 --> 00:27:27.980
but he won't be in there for a long amount of

00:27:27.980 --> 00:27:30.960
time, and nor will he be 100%. Yeah, yeah, not

00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:34.279
until probably midseason. And Washington's dead

00:27:34.279 --> 00:27:36.900
set on predicting his greatest asset, quarterback

00:27:36.900 --> 00:27:40.279
Jayden Daniels, while also boosting the run game.

00:27:41.380 --> 00:27:44.220
Yeah, you're saying all the right words. Yeah.

00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:47.480
Hey, you know, they've changed things around

00:27:47.480 --> 00:27:50.019
so much since they got rid of Kupnick. Oh, yeah.

00:27:50.279 --> 00:27:52.839
And I think it's great. They're a team ascending,

00:27:52.859 --> 00:27:54.859
and it all started with getting rid of their

00:27:54.859 --> 00:27:59.559
horrible owner. Yes. Yeah. All right, number

00:27:59.559 --> 00:28:05.619
seven, the Los Angeles Rams. They got a B. Most

00:28:05.619 --> 00:28:08.700
improved position, wide receiver. The Rams made

00:28:08.700 --> 00:28:10.799
a significant change in their wide receiver room,

00:28:10.900 --> 00:28:13.859
signing Devontae Adams and releasing Cooper Cupp

00:28:13.859 --> 00:28:17.880
after they could not find a trade for him. Did

00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:21.160
anyone ever pick up Cooper Cupp? I think Seattle

00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:25.089
did. Seattle did, okay. I don't know what kind

00:28:25.089 --> 00:28:27.190
of trade -up that was. Devontae Adams has showed

00:28:27.190 --> 00:28:29.809
nothing the last two years. That's true. That's

00:28:29.809 --> 00:28:32.650
true. He had a couple of good seasons, maybe

00:28:32.650 --> 00:28:36.890
more, with the Raiders. You kind of can't hold

00:28:36.890 --> 00:28:39.430
the Jets against him because that situation was

00:28:39.430 --> 00:28:42.369
so screwed up anyway. Yeah, yeah. That was a

00:28:42.369 --> 00:28:45.190
very bad scenario. But he wasn't doing all that

00:28:45.190 --> 00:28:46.990
great with the Raiders when they traded him.

00:28:47.009 --> 00:28:48.869
No, I know. He was kind of falling off. Yeah,

00:28:48.869 --> 00:28:54.210
so we'll see how he recovers. I'll bet Devontae

00:28:54.210 --> 00:28:56.130
wishes he was back at the Raiders now, considering

00:28:56.130 --> 00:28:58.369
how they've improved things. And Pete Carroll's

00:28:58.369 --> 00:29:05.230
there. Yeah. Well, you know, Cooper Cup wanted

00:29:05.230 --> 00:29:09.309
too much money. Yeah. And I don't blame them

00:29:09.309 --> 00:29:12.390
because he's pedestrian. His numbers were like

00:29:12.390 --> 00:29:17.349
700, 800 yards. Yeah. We have third stringers

00:29:17.349 --> 00:29:21.059
that could achieve that. Any good team. has third

00:29:21.059 --> 00:29:23.339
stringers that can accomplish that. Yeah, if

00:29:23.339 --> 00:29:25.660
you're not going to get over 1 ,000 yards, then

00:29:25.660 --> 00:29:28.000
your catches better be pretty clutch all the

00:29:28.000 --> 00:29:30.259
time. Yeah, you better be the guy to throw to

00:29:30.259 --> 00:29:33.079
on fourth down. Yeah, or you've got like twice

00:29:33.079 --> 00:29:35.779
as many touchdowns as anybody else. Yeah. You've

00:29:35.779 --> 00:29:38.339
got to excel somewhere. Yeah, you've got to be

00:29:38.339 --> 00:29:40.559
a specialist at that point because your numbers

00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:44.799
are pedestrian. Yeah. Well, actually upside a

00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:48.859
pedestrian. It's good. It's in the upper. But

00:29:48.859 --> 00:29:50.519
for that amount of money, that's pretty nasty.

00:29:50.680 --> 00:29:59.099
You don't get a 99 % money on a 70 % talent level.

00:29:59.339 --> 00:30:02.759
No. Anyhow. All right. Their most improved position,

00:30:02.940 --> 00:30:06.599
wide receiver. Like I said, they got Devonta

00:30:06.599 --> 00:30:09.660
Adams. They released Cooper Cuff. Wide receiver,

00:30:09.839 --> 00:30:13.900
Tutu Atwell in free agency. Although Adams' 85

00:30:13.900 --> 00:30:17.019
catches 1 ,063 yards for the Jets and Raiders

00:30:17.019 --> 00:30:20.950
last season, or his fewest since 2019. And actually,

00:30:20.990 --> 00:30:22.690
that's respectable. I didn't know he did that

00:30:22.690 --> 00:30:24.670
much. I thought he was a lot less than that myself.

00:30:25.210 --> 00:30:28.390
Okay, they did do it. They did do a step up.

00:30:28.450 --> 00:30:31.230
Yeah, that does sound like a step up. With Adams

00:30:31.230 --> 00:30:36.390
and Puka and Nakai, I guess, Babelsnatch, the

00:30:36.390 --> 00:30:39.250
Rams did not feel like they had to take a receiver

00:30:39.250 --> 00:30:41.450
early in the draft. They took a seventh -round

00:30:41.450 --> 00:30:46.369
flyer on Pitts. Kenata Mumpfield. How come all

00:30:46.369 --> 00:30:48.950
these names have to be so difficult? If you play

00:30:48.950 --> 00:30:50.509
in the NFL, you've got to have a difficult name.

00:30:51.309 --> 00:30:53.049
Imagine being the announcer and you have to memorize

00:30:53.049 --> 00:30:56.529
all these names and say them correctly each week,

00:30:56.589 --> 00:30:58.410
and then next week there's a whole new list.

00:30:59.190 --> 00:31:03.410
Then you have the old -time play -by -play guys

00:31:03.410 --> 00:31:05.970
like Kerry Kerry that would butcher the name

00:31:05.970 --> 00:31:08.029
so bad. Oh, yeah. And they just leave it, and

00:31:08.029 --> 00:31:13.440
you go, and this is... And everyone just goes

00:31:13.440 --> 00:31:18.319
riding along. Yeah, and now it's two out and

00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:21.839
bottom, you know. I want to go back to that.

00:31:21.960 --> 00:31:24.160
There was a radio announcer, I think in the 40s,

00:31:24.160 --> 00:31:28.819
who was always missing which football player

00:31:28.819 --> 00:31:31.599
had the ball. So he'd just come up with a name.

00:31:31.880 --> 00:31:34.599
He's like, oh, and Kowalski's running down the

00:31:34.599 --> 00:31:36.960
field. He's at the 50, at the 40, at the 30.

00:31:37.019 --> 00:31:38.599
And then when he finally figures out who actually

00:31:38.599 --> 00:31:40.660
has the ball, he'd say, oh, and then he laterals

00:31:40.660 --> 00:31:46.460
to Smith. And now Smith is running. That's clever.

00:31:46.680 --> 00:31:51.259
That is pretty clever. Where is this Altwell

00:31:51.259 --> 00:31:55.099
guy? This mystery guy, I don't see him on the

00:31:55.099 --> 00:31:58.119
roster. He's the one that threw to Smith. He's

00:31:58.119 --> 00:32:01.259
the one that lateraled to Smith. I love that.

00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:05.039
Yeah. All right. Wouldn't work so well for a

00:32:05.039 --> 00:32:08.339
horse race. Just can't lateral a horse. Hair,

00:32:08.599 --> 00:32:14.119
hair, hair. Here's the horse. Put your arms out.

00:32:14.400 --> 00:32:21.500
All right. Green Bay Packers. They got a C -.

00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:26.160
Most improved position, wide receiver. Sure,

00:32:26.200 --> 00:32:28.140
the Packers have a handful of rookie receivers.

00:32:28.400 --> 00:32:33.079
And GM Bryant, Gootenkunst or whatever, Kunst,

00:32:33.079 --> 00:32:37.259
Kunst. He's got the weirdest name. Gootenkunst,

00:32:37.299 --> 00:32:41.420
Kunst. Something like that. Weird. Yeah, so anyhow,

00:32:41.680 --> 00:32:45.579
Babelsnatch. Brian Babelsnatch said in the past

00:32:45.579 --> 00:32:47.220
that it's one of the most difficult positions

00:32:47.220 --> 00:32:51.039
to make an impact at right away. I disagree with

00:32:51.039 --> 00:32:54.619
that 100%. Yeah. Wide receiver is one of the

00:32:54.619 --> 00:32:57.880
ones that you show your talent immediately. Yeah,

00:32:57.920 --> 00:33:00.740
I mean, if nothing else, you can just go run

00:33:00.740 --> 00:33:02.720
fly routes until you figure out the playbook.

00:33:02.880 --> 00:33:05.200
You can make an impact. Yeah, I mean, you might

00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:07.740
start off slow like Worthy. and then all of a

00:33:07.740 --> 00:33:09.740
sudden just start catch fire, you know, lightning

00:33:09.740 --> 00:33:12.400
in a bottle. But it doesn't take you years to

00:33:12.400 --> 00:33:14.480
figure it out like sometimes it does offensive

00:33:14.480 --> 00:33:17.619
linemen or something like that. So I don't know

00:33:17.619 --> 00:33:20.019
what he's getting there, but I disagree with

00:33:20.019 --> 00:33:22.400
him. Still, Green Bay invested two of its first

00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:25.279
three draft picks in that position, taking Matthew

00:33:25.279 --> 00:33:28.099
Golden at number 23 and Savion Williams at number

00:33:28.099 --> 00:33:31.740
87 after the draft. babble snatch cooking cunts

00:33:31.740 --> 00:33:36.019
said I didn't think I'd be up here talking about

00:33:36.019 --> 00:33:38.880
taking two receivers but with Christian Watson

00:33:38.880 --> 00:33:41.480
likely out until November with a torn ACL oh

00:33:41.480 --> 00:33:46.619
I didn't know that he got torn ACL alright the

00:33:46.619 --> 00:33:49.440
Packers needed those picks they also signed Nicole

00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:56.940
Hardman I remember that oh yeah that's good I

00:33:56.940 --> 00:33:59.440
don't know how well he's going to gel with Love.

00:33:59.859 --> 00:34:04.579
Yeah. I don't know if Jordan loves his type of

00:34:04.579 --> 00:34:07.819
quarterback, but we'll find out. Yeah, I guess

00:34:07.819 --> 00:34:11.059
we will. But he's not guaranteed a roster spot.

00:34:11.199 --> 00:34:16.179
Hardman isn't. All right. Minnesota Vikings is

00:34:16.179 --> 00:34:20.739
number next, and they have a B. Most approved

00:34:20.739 --> 00:34:23.710
position, interior offensive line. The Vikings

00:34:23.710 --> 00:34:26.449
overhauled all three positions on their interior

00:34:26.449 --> 00:34:32.050
offensive line, committing $106 million in free

00:34:32.050 --> 00:34:34.969
agency to sign center Ryan Kelly and right guard

00:34:34.969 --> 00:34:38.070
Will Fries. I wonder if they have shakes with

00:34:38.070 --> 00:34:40.210
that. Wouldn't that be great if it was Fries

00:34:40.210 --> 00:34:42.050
and shakes right next to each other? That would

00:34:42.050 --> 00:34:45.969
be cool. And then burgers the quarterback. Hell

00:34:45.969 --> 00:34:49.269
yeah. Oh, oh, oh. And then the one that everybody

00:34:49.269 --> 00:34:52.170
loves, onion rings. Yes. Onion rings. He'd be

00:34:52.170 --> 00:34:55.090
the tight end. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And how about

00:34:55.090 --> 00:35:03.409
waffle? Waffle fries? Yeah. Cottage fries? How

00:35:03.409 --> 00:35:05.969
about breaded chicken breast? Ooh, that's his

00:35:05.969 --> 00:35:10.130
wife. Yeah, that's his wife. Well, with the Vikings

00:35:10.130 --> 00:35:12.530
spending a lot of money on the interior O -line,

00:35:12.769 --> 00:35:16.269
kind of hints that they're getting ready for

00:35:16.269 --> 00:35:19.679
the next quarterback. Well, I forgot their backup

00:35:19.679 --> 00:35:23.360
name last. They had, what's his name, Darnold.

00:35:23.800 --> 00:35:27.679
And he became Darnold in the postseason, flatlined.

00:35:28.599 --> 00:35:31.739
The guy behind him is a guy that they were wanting

00:35:31.739 --> 00:35:36.860
to start. Oh, okay. I forgot his name. And I

00:35:36.860 --> 00:35:39.500
think they're hedging their bet on him. That

00:35:39.500 --> 00:35:42.280
could be. Which is kind of odd because, I mean,

00:35:42.320 --> 00:35:45.820
I think they picked up a quarterback, didn't

00:35:45.820 --> 00:35:50.070
they? Yeah, sometimes you pick one up to mentor.

00:35:50.329 --> 00:35:52.730
Is it Jones, Daniel Jones or somebody? It's like

00:35:52.730 --> 00:35:54.869
a Sam Darnold type of a. Yeah, it could have

00:35:54.869 --> 00:35:58.389
been Jones. Okay, anyhow. But sometimes you pick

00:35:58.389 --> 00:36:00.710
those up to share the workload in training camp.

00:36:00.989 --> 00:36:04.210
Yeah, yeah, that's true. So with a team that

00:36:04.210 --> 00:36:07.389
is so complete, well, I mean, somewhat complete,

00:36:07.489 --> 00:36:10.510
and could be fighting for a division title or

00:36:10.510 --> 00:36:13.130
at least in the playoffs, like they were last

00:36:13.130 --> 00:36:15.550
year. True. You'd think they'd go for, like,

00:36:15.550 --> 00:36:18.019
a proven winner. Maybe there wasn't anyone out

00:36:18.019 --> 00:36:21.800
there. True. Plus, if you go with a proven winner,

00:36:21.920 --> 00:36:24.480
then you've got to adapt them and your system

00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:26.880
to each other. That's true. You're changing things.

00:36:26.920 --> 00:36:28.639
And that's why they didn't even consider Aaron

00:36:28.639 --> 00:36:33.019
Rodgers. Yeah. All right. Their choice on Donovan

00:36:33.019 --> 00:36:35.059
Jackson will likely be their new left guard.

00:36:35.440 --> 00:36:39.000
Daria was a major need for improvement. Their

00:36:39.000 --> 00:36:41.059
centers and guards all ranked in the bottom 30

00:36:41.059 --> 00:36:45.440
last season, a run block win rate. 2025, the

00:36:45.440 --> 00:36:47.659
Vikings will likely have three first -round picks,

00:36:47.840 --> 00:36:51.639
Jackson, Kelly, and left tackle Christian Dorisaw,

00:36:51.760 --> 00:36:56.440
and one second -round right tackle Brian O 'Neal

00:36:56.440 --> 00:37:02.219
in their starting lineup. That's pretty amazing

00:37:02.219 --> 00:37:04.179
to have all those first and second -round picks

00:37:04.179 --> 00:37:06.739
right there. I mean, that right there is going

00:37:06.739 --> 00:37:09.699
to be good. It also shows you're drafting well.

00:37:09.880 --> 00:37:14.440
Yeah, yeah. They gave them a B, so let me see

00:37:14.440 --> 00:37:17.219
who their quarterbacks are. I'm trying to make

00:37:17.219 --> 00:37:19.960
sense of this. Okay. Unless they really saw something

00:37:19.960 --> 00:37:26.800
in their back end. Yeah. I'm going to try to

00:37:26.800 --> 00:37:29.480
catch up on something. Minnesota Vikings quarterback

00:37:29.480 --> 00:37:34.960
roster. Minnesota Vikings quarterback roster.

00:37:43.840 --> 00:37:46.179
Notice how things are just not quite working

00:37:46.179 --> 00:37:50.420
right lately. Uh -huh. It's frustrating. It is.

00:37:50.599 --> 00:37:54.099
You know what? Whatever. Look it up. All right.

00:37:54.380 --> 00:37:57.760
Number 10 on our list is Cincinnati Bengals.

00:37:57.840 --> 00:38:01.940
They got an A. Oh. Yep. Cool. Most improved position

00:38:01.940 --> 00:38:04.380
is running back. Well, I look for that. Cincinnati

00:38:04.380 --> 00:38:08.159
has always drafted pretty well. Yeah. So. There

00:38:08.159 --> 00:38:10.519
isn't as much to choose from given Cincinnati's

00:38:10.519 --> 00:38:13.559
lack of splashy offensive offseason moves. The

00:38:13.559 --> 00:38:15.619
big money was spent on maintaining strength at

00:38:15.619 --> 00:38:19.199
wide receiver T. Higgins and Jamar Chase. That's

00:38:19.199 --> 00:38:21.559
their one, that's their fly in the ointment.

00:38:21.900 --> 00:38:24.420
They've spent so much on receivers, which is

00:38:24.420 --> 00:38:27.280
the opposite of what the Chiefs do. True, true.

00:38:27.559 --> 00:38:32.239
Yeah. I think that the secret formula is more

00:38:32.239 --> 00:38:34.280
like what the Chiefs do and you don't overspend

00:38:34.280 --> 00:38:37.809
on one position like that. Yeah, yeah, it's the

00:38:37.809 --> 00:38:41.329
attitude of Mahomes can throw to anybody, but

00:38:41.329 --> 00:38:43.889
in Cincinnati their attitude is we've got to

00:38:43.889 --> 00:38:46.289
get the best for Joe Burrow to throw to. Yeah,

00:38:46.369 --> 00:38:49.190
I think that they have to. Joe Burrow's fine.

00:38:49.309 --> 00:38:51.250
He's really good. He's one of the top quarterbacks.

00:38:51.309 --> 00:38:54.170
He's been performing well these last few seasons,

00:38:54.190 --> 00:38:56.369
even when the Bengals have been doing poorly

00:38:56.369 --> 00:38:59.349
or having disappointing seasons. Joe Burrow's

00:38:59.349 --> 00:39:01.170
still playing really well. They need to have

00:39:01.170 --> 00:39:03.260
more faith in him. Yeah. If I was them, I would

00:39:03.260 --> 00:39:05.679
be the offensive line before I did anything with

00:39:05.679 --> 00:39:07.559
the receivers. Maybe they're counting on this

00:39:07.559 --> 00:39:11.099
running back they drafted to take the load off.

00:39:11.260 --> 00:39:13.179
But you need the O -line, too. You need the O

00:39:13.179 --> 00:39:15.039
-line still for them, too. You need them to run

00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:17.380
block. Otherwise, this guy's going to get mangled

00:39:17.380 --> 00:39:21.340
like Joe Burrow did. Yeah. So, it's really frustrating.

00:39:21.360 --> 00:39:24.199
Even though I'm not a Cincinnati fan, I'm a Chiefs

00:39:24.199 --> 00:39:26.440
fan. So, you know, anything they do, I'm opposed

00:39:26.440 --> 00:39:30.119
to, you know. Just like Denver and the Raiders.

00:39:30.219 --> 00:39:33.099
Just got to automatically say no. Burrow deserves

00:39:33.099 --> 00:39:37.159
better. Yeah. He really does. You've got a guy

00:39:37.159 --> 00:39:38.940
that, if you gave him the right tools, could

00:39:38.940 --> 00:39:42.320
probably win the Super Bowl. He could probably

00:39:42.320 --> 00:39:45.639
do it on his arm. Going deep into the playoffs

00:39:45.639 --> 00:39:48.360
every year, if he had a great supporting cast

00:39:48.360 --> 00:39:51.260
around him, and maybe not even great, just good

00:39:51.260 --> 00:39:53.900
enough. But I feel that this system works against

00:39:53.900 --> 00:39:56.619
him constantly. It really seems to, you know?

00:39:56.739 --> 00:39:59.539
Yeah. I think they need to start doing things

00:39:59.539 --> 00:40:01.179
differently and have a little bit more trust

00:40:01.179 --> 00:40:05.090
in your guy. Yeah. So, but by bringing back Samadjay

00:40:05.090 --> 00:40:08.369
Pirine, which sucked because I liked him. I did

00:40:08.369 --> 00:40:10.409
too. He was our third and fourth down specialist.

00:40:10.670 --> 00:40:13.409
Yeah. He was amazing. I wish we still had him.

00:40:13.530 --> 00:40:16.849
I do too. Samadjay Pirine was just, I mean, he

00:40:16.849 --> 00:40:18.550
was always there when you really needed him.

00:40:18.610 --> 00:40:20.909
When no one else, even Kareem Hunt, you know,

00:40:20.929 --> 00:40:23.250
he got stuffed a few times. I don't know that

00:40:23.250 --> 00:40:25.070
we have anybody on the roster that can do that.

00:40:25.849 --> 00:40:28.849
I don't know, man. You know, I'm thinking, they're

00:40:28.849 --> 00:40:30.409
thinking they're not going to be in that position

00:40:30.409 --> 00:40:32.739
as much. Maybe. They're thinking, we're throwing

00:40:32.739 --> 00:40:34.920
downfield, and we don't necessarily care about

00:40:34.920 --> 00:40:36.619
third and fourth down. We're throwing downfield.

00:40:37.440 --> 00:40:39.780
There's going to be a definite change in the

00:40:39.780 --> 00:40:41.940
thought process with all those receivers, if

00:40:41.940 --> 00:40:45.699
they stay healthy and out of jail. I remember

00:40:45.699 --> 00:40:48.019
hearing that a year or two ago that the Chiefs

00:40:48.019 --> 00:40:50.659
were – I think it was right after Tyreek left,

00:40:50.760 --> 00:40:52.579
the Chiefs were talking about throwing to tall

00:40:52.579 --> 00:40:55.280
receivers and throwing downfield more. Yeah.

00:40:55.500 --> 00:40:58.739
And it kind of didn't happen. No, it didn't.

00:40:59.000 --> 00:41:04.210
And as a matter of fact, I mean – Hill, his numbers

00:41:04.210 --> 00:41:06.289
dropped off last year, and it wasn't all because

00:41:06.289 --> 00:41:11.670
of Tua being out part of the season and all that.

00:41:11.809 --> 00:41:14.190
Because they're really good receivers, they find

00:41:14.190 --> 00:41:16.449
a way to get the catches. Yeah, yeah, they get

00:41:16.449 --> 00:41:18.750
open for whoever's throwing. Yes, which would

00:41:18.750 --> 00:41:21.530
indicate to me that Tyreek Hill needs that guy

00:41:21.530 --> 00:41:23.889
to go to him. Otherwise, he's not doing it on

00:41:23.889 --> 00:41:26.489
his own back because he's not tall enough. True.

00:41:27.039 --> 00:41:28.940
And he's not as fast as he used to be. He's not

00:41:28.940 --> 00:41:31.340
as limber as he used to be. And also, he does

00:41:31.340 --> 00:41:34.820
some very dick things. Yeah. Look, the whole

00:41:34.820 --> 00:41:36.820
thing about the cops putting him on the ground

00:41:36.820 --> 00:41:38.760
and all that, that was bullshit. Yeah. I'm in

00:41:38.760 --> 00:41:42.019
Tyreek's corner all the way on that. You know,

00:41:42.039 --> 00:41:45.019
I don't think you do that. I think that they

00:41:45.019 --> 00:41:48.619
knew that he was obviously a football player,

00:41:48.739 --> 00:41:51.880
and he wasn't a threat to take off. No. You know?

00:41:52.119 --> 00:41:53.840
Yeah, he was being belligerent and all that,

00:41:53.900 --> 00:41:55.519
but you don't try to teach the guy a lesson.

00:41:56.030 --> 00:41:57.989
You give him what's allotted to him by the law

00:41:57.989 --> 00:42:00.369
and you move on. Yeah. Yeah, you don't take it

00:42:00.369 --> 00:42:02.349
in your own hands and go, well, all right, Mr.

00:42:02.469 --> 00:42:05.449
Dick, how do you like that fucking asphalt? You

00:42:05.449 --> 00:42:07.630
knew the guy wasn't running off. He's not going

00:42:07.630 --> 00:42:10.289
to risk his whole NFL career on being a dick

00:42:10.289 --> 00:42:12.949
like that. Yeah. But being mallied to you? Oh,

00:42:12.989 --> 00:42:15.670
yeah, all day long. Yeah. But that doesn't constitute

00:42:15.670 --> 00:42:18.530
eating fucking pavement. But everything else

00:42:18.530 --> 00:42:21.090
that he's done, the bullying, the smacking people

00:42:21.090 --> 00:42:25.949
around, the alleged women abuse, bullshit. I

00:42:25.949 --> 00:42:28.469
mean, no, I wouldn't want a guy like that associated

00:42:28.469 --> 00:42:30.730
with my team at all. There was one recently where

00:42:30.730 --> 00:42:32.929
I think he was choking out a family member, but

00:42:32.929 --> 00:42:34.650
I think that all got settled and dropped. That

00:42:34.650 --> 00:42:38.269
got settled, yeah. I think there might have been

00:42:38.269 --> 00:42:40.550
a little push under the table. It's like, he

00:42:40.550 --> 00:42:42.130
didn't do anything. I don't know where you guys

00:42:42.130 --> 00:42:44.650
got your information at. Hell no, we're here

00:42:44.650 --> 00:42:48.210
playing fucking skip moment. Realistically, all

00:42:48.210 --> 00:42:49.909
you have to do is pay off the victim, and then

00:42:49.909 --> 00:42:52.289
they drop the charges, and it's gone. Yeah, that's

00:42:52.289 --> 00:42:57.840
the problem. What Rasheed Rice is having is these

00:42:57.840 --> 00:43:00.619
guys down there that he hit, they don't need

00:43:00.619 --> 00:43:02.360
money. No, they don't want to. This appears,

00:43:02.599 --> 00:43:05.920
yeah. We're not interested in being bought off.

00:43:06.000 --> 00:43:08.739
We're interested in embarrassing you. Yeah, we're

00:43:08.739 --> 00:43:10.920
interested in making you pay for your crime.

00:43:11.059 --> 00:43:13.300
And you know what? I get it, man. He left them

00:43:13.300 --> 00:43:15.619
for dead. They're thinking like this. That guy

00:43:15.619 --> 00:43:19.119
just fucking left us here after he hit us, and

00:43:19.119 --> 00:43:21.340
he was laughing. And if he could have, he would

00:43:21.340 --> 00:43:23.119
have erased all evidence that he was ever there.

00:43:23.360 --> 00:43:26.860
Yeah. Yes. So I can't say I necessarily disagree

00:43:26.860 --> 00:43:30.280
with him. Yeah. I'd be pissed too. I still want

00:43:30.280 --> 00:43:32.219
to go beat that guy that almost killed us. Yeah,

00:43:32.239 --> 00:43:35.079
I know. Good thing we forgot what he looks like

00:43:35.079 --> 00:43:38.300
already. Oh, yeah. Well, the fact that I stood

00:43:38.300 --> 00:43:40.059
there for like a minute and we're both fucking

00:43:40.059 --> 00:43:42.219
telling him what a stupid ass he is. We're both

00:43:42.219 --> 00:43:44.619
pointing at him. Yeah. I should have brought

00:43:44.619 --> 00:43:46.699
my phone up and taken a picture of his face.

00:43:46.840 --> 00:43:49.750
Yeah. That definitely would have been a code

00:43:49.750 --> 00:43:52.090
brown at that point. Yeah, he had nothing to

00:43:52.090 --> 00:43:55.769
say either. He just said, no. Just came whipping

00:43:55.769 --> 00:43:58.809
out around that truck, barreling into an intersection

00:43:58.809 --> 00:44:00.929
that has a four -way stop. Everybody else was

00:44:00.929 --> 00:44:03.230
stopped. He just came barreling through. Yeah,

00:44:03.230 --> 00:44:04.869
he didn't want to be inconvenienced with the

00:44:04.869 --> 00:44:12.250
stop sign. So, anyhow, the Bengals, we just said

00:44:12.250 --> 00:44:14.750
what we did. They got P. Ryan back. They drafted

00:44:14.750 --> 00:44:17.880
Todd Jay. Brooks, I believe is how you pronounce

00:44:17.880 --> 00:44:20.840
it. It should be pronounced different, but I've

00:44:20.840 --> 00:44:23.599
heard it called T -H -A -J. Yeah. T -H -A -J.

00:44:25.239 --> 00:44:28.559
Yeah, T -H -A -J. Yeah, so anyhow, however it's

00:44:28.559 --> 00:44:31.659
pronounced, Babelstach, behind Chase Brown, who

00:44:31.659 --> 00:44:36.360
will be a featured player. All right, now, we've

00:44:36.360 --> 00:44:38.239
done enough of this. All right. All right, I

00:44:38.239 --> 00:44:40.480
want to get, do you have anything you want to

00:44:40.480 --> 00:44:44.480
go into first? I have the summary of the rule

00:44:44.480 --> 00:44:46.900
changes. At least the significant one just for

00:44:46.900 --> 00:44:48.780
the upcoming NFL season. And this is for the

00:44:48.780 --> 00:44:53.579
2025 season? Yeah. Okay. We have a new kickoff

00:44:53.579 --> 00:44:57.900
format. Again? Touchback spot, a new overtime

00:44:57.900 --> 00:45:01.300
format, and expanded replay assist capabilities.

00:45:02.019 --> 00:45:05.860
Okay. For kickoffs, the teams will now be aligned

00:45:05.860 --> 00:45:09.059
closer together on kickoffs, reducing the space

00:45:09.059 --> 00:45:13.619
and the speed they get up to. So by the time

00:45:13.619 --> 00:45:15.360
the players get to each other, they won't be

00:45:15.360 --> 00:45:17.880
moving as fast because they're going to be closer

00:45:17.880 --> 00:45:19.880
together. Okay. You know what? I see the sense

00:45:19.880 --> 00:45:21.760
and logic in that, although it's going to be

00:45:21.760 --> 00:45:26.480
a little bit more boring. Yeah. Logically. Here's

00:45:26.480 --> 00:45:29.159
what's really going to make it boring. All touchbacks

00:45:29.159 --> 00:45:31.460
will put the ball on the receiving team's 35

00:45:31.460 --> 00:45:34.579
-yard line. We're going to see more scoring,

00:45:34.699 --> 00:45:36.280
and that's what they want. That's what they want.

00:45:36.360 --> 00:45:40.199
But, Matt, now you get a touchback, and now it's

00:45:40.199 --> 00:45:43.219
minimum 65 yards to the score. And you're not,

00:45:43.239 --> 00:45:47.380
look, this really benefits the Chiefs, the Bills,

00:45:47.480 --> 00:45:51.500
the Bengals, all these teams that have these

00:45:51.500 --> 00:45:54.119
elite quarterbacks that can throw a dime 60,

00:45:54.519 --> 00:45:57.960
70 yards. One -yard scoring drives. Yes. Yeah.

00:45:58.139 --> 00:46:00.000
We're going to see some more of those. I know

00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:02.400
people go, no, the way to win a game is to grind

00:46:02.400 --> 00:46:05.039
it out. You're talking about the playoffs. Playoffs.

00:46:05.400 --> 00:46:07.699
You're not talking about a regular game against

00:46:07.699 --> 00:46:11.900
a regular team. they say the goal is to increase

00:46:11.900 --> 00:46:15.539
the number of kickoff returns and make the kickoff

00:46:15.539 --> 00:46:19.000
more similar to a regular scrimmage play. So

00:46:19.000 --> 00:46:21.039
I guess they're counting on the teams to avoid

00:46:21.039 --> 00:46:25.500
touchbacks at all costs. So that'd be on kickoff

00:46:25.500 --> 00:46:28.159
and punting, I presume. You see, but I don't

00:46:28.159 --> 00:46:30.039
get that. You put them at the 35 -yard line.

00:46:30.059 --> 00:46:31.539
If you're a Kansas City, wouldn't you do that

00:46:31.539 --> 00:46:33.760
every time? Yeah. Wouldn't you just be like,

00:46:33.860 --> 00:46:37.860
we got Mahomes. Yeah. Go to 35. He's at least

00:46:37.860 --> 00:46:41.099
going to get you three. And nowadays they have

00:46:41.099 --> 00:46:43.900
that landing zone that they have kicked into.

00:46:43.960 --> 00:46:46.400
You can fair catch anywhere in that landing zone

00:46:46.400 --> 00:46:49.820
and it's counted as a touchback. Yeah. It's easier

00:46:49.820 --> 00:46:52.599
than ever. I think it does the opposite. They're

00:46:52.599 --> 00:46:55.000
saying it does what they want it to do. I can

00:46:55.000 --> 00:46:57.940
see this getting modified once they go through

00:46:57.940 --> 00:47:01.460
preseason and see how the kickoff turns into

00:47:01.460 --> 00:47:03.559
a dead play and the punt turns into a... Well,

00:47:03.579 --> 00:47:05.940
the punt is in the same way. I can see that 100%.

00:47:05.940 --> 00:47:09.610
Yeah. Because... Like, why bother to kick? They're

00:47:09.610 --> 00:47:11.050
just going to fair catch. It's going to be on

00:47:11.050 --> 00:47:13.690
the 35 -yard line. 35 -yard line? I'd take that

00:47:13.690 --> 00:47:15.550
all day long with an elite quarterback, wouldn't

00:47:15.550 --> 00:47:21.710
you? Yeah. All right, for overtime, both teams

00:47:21.710 --> 00:47:26.190
will get a possession regardless. No matter what,

00:47:26.329 --> 00:47:28.889
both teams will get a possession. You know what?

00:47:28.969 --> 00:47:31.690
I don't care anymore. I don't either. They change

00:47:31.690 --> 00:47:34.429
this so many times, and usually it's because

00:47:34.429 --> 00:47:36.889
little bitches mouthing off about the Chiefs.

00:47:36.969 --> 00:47:39.340
Yeah. when they were all for the rule change

00:47:39.340 --> 00:47:41.460
the year before, and then they changed the rule,

00:47:41.539 --> 00:47:42.840
and then they're all against the rule change

00:47:42.840 --> 00:47:45.820
this year. Look, just because the outcome isn't

00:47:45.820 --> 00:47:48.440
what you wanted, don't change the rules. One

00:47:48.440 --> 00:47:50.860
of these days, you'll be that guy. Well, it's

00:47:50.860 --> 00:47:53.880
the viewers telling the NFL, we don't like it,

00:47:53.940 --> 00:47:56.260
and we're going to quit watching the Chiefs games.

00:47:56.920 --> 00:47:58.860
Then we want to change. Although everybody says

00:47:58.860 --> 00:48:00.739
that. Nah, they still watch. But it doesn't happen.

00:48:00.760 --> 00:48:02.960
They still watch. Everybody says that. I know

00:48:02.960 --> 00:48:05.639
if you're not from Kansas City or a fan of Kansas

00:48:05.639 --> 00:48:08.460
City, I hear everybody saying that. Where are

00:48:08.460 --> 00:48:11.059
all these viewers coming from? They're not Swifties.

00:48:11.239 --> 00:48:14.280
Yeah. Swifties aren't watching football. No.

00:48:14.599 --> 00:48:18.780
So. Tie games. The game is still tied after the,

00:48:18.820 --> 00:48:21.900
oh, the 10 -minute overtime period. 10 minutes.

00:48:21.940 --> 00:48:23.960
And that's it? That's it. So then it's a tie?

00:48:24.139 --> 00:48:26.019
One 10 -minute overtime period and then you're

00:48:26.019 --> 00:48:28.829
done. I agree with that. Why kill your people

00:48:28.829 --> 00:48:31.269
on one fucking game? I would go a step further

00:48:31.269 --> 00:48:34.530
and say no overtime in regular season. Here's

00:48:34.530 --> 00:48:36.829
what I think. I thought about this, and I like

00:48:36.829 --> 00:48:40.050
that too. Here's what I would do. Only backup

00:48:40.050 --> 00:48:43.289
players in overtime. That would be interesting.

00:48:43.590 --> 00:48:46.269
Yeah, that way you're not hurting your regular

00:48:46.269 --> 00:48:47.989
players. It's going to be really interesting.

00:48:48.269 --> 00:48:50.849
It's like, hey, come here. We're going in overtime.

00:48:51.849 --> 00:48:54.170
Who do we got? Gardner Minshew? Okay, who do

00:48:54.170 --> 00:48:59.739
they have? Billy Joe Jackson from fucking, I

00:48:59.739 --> 00:49:03.760
don't know, Creighton. You know. Hey, I think

00:49:03.760 --> 00:49:06.900
we're going to win this. Yeah. I'm glad that

00:49:06.900 --> 00:49:09.280
they finally got rid of the overtime in preseason

00:49:09.280 --> 00:49:12.559
because let's hope they don't bring that back

00:49:12.559 --> 00:49:14.360
because that was the most stupid thing ever.

00:49:14.400 --> 00:49:17.139
It's preseason. Who cares? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:49:17.280 --> 00:49:20.519
Yeah, I agree. In preseason, who cares if it's

00:49:20.519 --> 00:49:23.420
a tie game? I guess just the gamblers, I guess.

00:49:23.739 --> 00:49:26.719
Yeah, preseason just ended. Go, okay, the game's

00:49:26.719 --> 00:49:29.840
over. Yeah, that's it. Well, they say the purpose

00:49:29.840 --> 00:49:32.940
of the tie game is to make the overtime more

00:49:32.940 --> 00:49:35.619
competitive, which it would because it's like,

00:49:35.699 --> 00:49:37.719
okay, this is it. We just got this for 10 minutes.

00:49:37.940 --> 00:49:41.639
And also reduce the potential for a team to be

00:49:41.639 --> 00:49:45.030
eliminated without a chance to score. Yeah. If

00:49:45.030 --> 00:49:47.690
that's the way they'll do it, okay. I don't really

00:49:47.690 --> 00:49:49.590
have anything against that. I've been critical

00:49:49.590 --> 00:49:53.110
of the other ones. That's okay with me. Replay

00:49:53.110 --> 00:49:55.570
assist is the next category. Expanded capabilities.

00:49:55.969 --> 00:49:58.909
Replay assist can now overturn certain penalties

00:49:58.909 --> 00:50:01.730
based on clear and obvious video evidence. I'm

00:50:01.730 --> 00:50:03.789
100 % for that, even though it's going to make

00:50:03.789 --> 00:50:07.550
the game longer. Absolutely. They need to pick

00:50:07.550 --> 00:50:09.510
and choose the right ones, though, because you

00:50:09.510 --> 00:50:13.500
can't have that fucking game go four hours. People

00:50:13.500 --> 00:50:17.300
lose focus. I think it's going to hopefully put

00:50:17.300 --> 00:50:19.619
some pressure on the officials to quit making

00:50:19.619 --> 00:50:22.719
BS calls because if they get publicly overturned

00:50:22.719 --> 00:50:24.219
on the field, that's going to be embarrassing.

00:50:24.219 --> 00:50:26.900
That's going to look horrible on them. That's

00:50:26.900 --> 00:50:28.840
something they can keep track of and grade the

00:50:28.840 --> 00:50:30.820
officials on. I think I interrupted you, so go

00:50:30.820 --> 00:50:34.179
ahead. Objective penalties. Replay assist can

00:50:34.179 --> 00:50:36.980
overturn penalties for hitting a defenseless

00:50:36.980 --> 00:50:40.559
player, face mask, horse collar tackle, tripping,

00:50:40.579 --> 00:50:44.000
and roughing. or running into the kicker. So

00:50:44.000 --> 00:50:46.019
they can overturn those if the official on the

00:50:46.019 --> 00:50:48.360
field calls it wrong. I agree with that. Too

00:50:48.360 --> 00:50:51.119
many times someone is pushed, and usually it's

00:50:51.119 --> 00:50:54.019
the other team, pushed into the kicker and they

00:50:54.019 --> 00:50:56.880
get a penalty. That happened how many times last

00:50:56.880 --> 00:50:59.420
year that I know of? I think four times at least,

00:50:59.420 --> 00:51:02.059
including the playoffs. Playoffs, yeah. Where

00:51:02.059 --> 00:51:05.599
it was either momentum or someone pushing them,

00:51:05.639 --> 00:51:09.539
nudging them slightly into the kicker or the

00:51:09.539 --> 00:51:12.019
quarterback. to make it look like a late hit.

00:51:12.139 --> 00:51:17.320
Yeah. So, I agree with that. The limitation,

00:51:17.539 --> 00:51:21.420
however, is the replay will not be able to call

00:51:21.420 --> 00:51:25.099
penalties that weren't originally called. Like,

00:51:25.099 --> 00:51:28.119
say they do the replay. You know, they didn't

00:51:28.119 --> 00:51:30.659
call roughing the passer. Replay's not going

00:51:30.659 --> 00:51:32.539
to replay and say, oh, yeah, you did, and here's

00:51:32.539 --> 00:51:34.559
a penalty. It's always going to work the opposite

00:51:34.559 --> 00:51:36.320
direction. I agree with that. Yeah, I do too.

00:51:36.320 --> 00:51:38.260
Although it would be interesting. It would be.

00:51:38.280 --> 00:51:40.119
It would be interesting. Well, I mean, there's

00:51:40.119 --> 00:51:42.940
so many holding calls for every play that don't

00:51:42.940 --> 00:51:45.000
get called. I don't necessarily have a problem

00:51:45.000 --> 00:51:48.300
with it. The game happens so fast, you know.

00:51:50.260 --> 00:51:57.519
Another question that came up was rule 17. Oh,

00:51:57.519 --> 00:52:01.800
go ahead. Rule 17 grants the NFL league commissioner

00:52:01.800 --> 00:52:04.719
the authority to address extraordinarily unfair

00:52:04.719 --> 00:52:08.400
acts and potentially overturn a game's result.

00:52:09.699 --> 00:52:13.340
Wow. So the game could be over and done, and

00:52:13.340 --> 00:52:16.159
the commissioner could say, no, this was wrong,

00:52:16.300 --> 00:52:19.139
this was unfair, victory goes to the other team.

00:52:19.840 --> 00:52:23.690
He absolutely has that power. Okay. Because it's

00:52:23.690 --> 00:52:26.110
an entertainment industry. It's not actually

00:52:26.110 --> 00:52:30.829
competitive sports. That will not with somebody

00:52:30.829 --> 00:52:34.230
with a rooting interest in the game. Joe Phan

00:52:34.230 --> 00:52:38.309
is going to be pissed off badly if that happens.

00:52:38.690 --> 00:52:41.010
And then people get ripped off of what they won.

00:52:41.630 --> 00:52:44.329
They're going to think about betting on football

00:52:44.329 --> 00:52:46.489
again. They're going to go, I don't know, I won

00:52:46.489 --> 00:52:48.130
this thing, but now all of a sudden this fucker

00:52:48.130 --> 00:52:50.610
says I didn't. Yeah, they're going to have to

00:52:50.610 --> 00:52:53.010
save that for some time when they really need

00:52:53.010 --> 00:52:55.530
it because the first thing people are going to

00:52:55.530 --> 00:52:58.230
look at is, okay, you changed the outcome of

00:52:58.230 --> 00:53:00.210
the game so you wouldn't have to pay off all

00:53:00.210 --> 00:53:03.030
our bets. That's the first thing people are going

00:53:03.030 --> 00:53:05.030
to look at. That would be what I'd look at. I

00:53:05.030 --> 00:53:07.869
lost my bet because of this. I'd be like, well,

00:53:07.909 --> 00:53:10.590
what is their interest in it? Oh, I had to pay

00:53:10.590 --> 00:53:14.889
off so much? If they want to go that route, I

00:53:14.889 --> 00:53:17.449
think it's going to hurt them. But we learned

00:53:17.449 --> 00:53:20.110
last year that the officials have the authority

00:53:20.110 --> 00:53:24.269
to grant a touchdown to a team if the other team

00:53:24.269 --> 00:53:27.289
is committing penalty after penalty just specifically

00:53:27.289 --> 00:53:30.369
to draw it out. I agree with that. I do too.

00:53:30.369 --> 00:53:31.869
It's like, you guys keep doing that, we're just

00:53:31.869 --> 00:53:34.130
going to give them a touchdown. Yeah. I think

00:53:34.130 --> 00:53:36.829
it was the Eagles was one of the teams involved,

00:53:37.010 --> 00:53:40.869
and they told the team, do it one more time,

00:53:40.889 --> 00:53:44.250
and they get a touchdown. That was the most famous

00:53:44.250 --> 00:53:46.739
one. Yeah. The other ones were like regular games

00:53:46.739 --> 00:53:48.579
that people didn't give a shit about. But, yeah,

00:53:48.639 --> 00:53:52.639
and I agree with that. I do too. It gets childish.

00:53:52.719 --> 00:53:56.199
And it shows you that the teams are looking for

00:53:56.199 --> 00:53:58.800
any possible way to do an end run around the

00:53:58.800 --> 00:54:02.699
rules to win. The vast majority of the rules

00:54:02.699 --> 00:54:05.699
that the NFL has are to prevent teams from cheating.

00:54:06.300 --> 00:54:09.039
So remember that. These teams will cheat, and

00:54:09.039 --> 00:54:11.239
they're being forced every day to stop cheating.

00:54:11.739 --> 00:54:14.039
But given an opportunity, they will cheat their

00:54:14.039 --> 00:54:16.360
asses off. And that's why I thought Deflategate

00:54:16.360 --> 00:54:19.079
was bullshit. Every team cheats. The filming

00:54:19.079 --> 00:54:24.019
of the opposition, that was cheating. They should

00:54:24.019 --> 00:54:28.360
have really gotten banned for that. But Deflategate,

00:54:28.360 --> 00:54:31.159
I didn't have a problem with. Because every team

00:54:31.159 --> 00:54:33.099
does that. I know. How about the warm balls?

00:54:33.599 --> 00:54:38.460
Nick Lowry's warm balls? That's true. Didn't

00:54:38.460 --> 00:54:40.400
he slap like the ball boy? He slapped the ball

00:54:40.400 --> 00:54:43.179
boy for the Jets because he didn't warm the footballs

00:54:43.179 --> 00:54:46.420
properly. That was enough for Jets fan. Yeah.

00:54:47.260 --> 00:54:50.360
We all know Nick Lowry loves warm balls. Oh,

00:54:50.360 --> 00:54:52.519
God. He's the guy who used to answer his front

00:54:52.519 --> 00:54:55.679
door naked. I know. He was not only a swinger,

00:54:55.699 --> 00:54:58.619
but he was an equal opportunity swinger. Yeah,

00:54:58.619 --> 00:55:00.500
yeah, yeah. Whatever you got, he was willing

00:55:00.500 --> 00:55:04.500
to ride it. He was ready for it. Allegedly. Nasty

00:55:04.500 --> 00:55:07.699
guy. Yeah. Nasty guy. Yeah, they, as a matter

00:55:07.699 --> 00:55:10.820
of fact, they got rid of him. He was one of the

00:55:10.820 --> 00:55:12.619
best kickers there. They just got rid of him.

00:55:12.679 --> 00:55:14.239
The flag just said, we can't have this guy on

00:55:14.239 --> 00:55:16.599
the team anymore. Now, Lynn Elliott was the guy

00:55:16.599 --> 00:55:18.679
they chose to replace him as a problem. Oh, gosh.

00:55:18.880 --> 00:55:23.420
But you know what? That was long ago. For about

00:55:23.420 --> 00:55:25.760
20 years, nobody in Kansas City would name their

00:55:25.760 --> 00:55:31.079
children Lynn or Elliott. Yes. Yeah, and Jimmy

00:55:31.079 --> 00:55:35.119
Johnson, he kind of got a name for himself on

00:55:35.119 --> 00:55:37.300
Lynn Elliott. Yeah. Because he went in there

00:55:37.300 --> 00:55:39.800
after he missed like four or five in a row. He

00:55:39.800 --> 00:55:42.219
went out there and took everything in his locker

00:55:42.219 --> 00:55:45.559
and threw it out of the locker room. He physically

00:55:45.559 --> 00:55:48.500
kicked him off the team. Yeah. Took him by the

00:55:48.500 --> 00:55:51.539
collar and said, there's the fucking door. Don't

00:55:51.539 --> 00:55:55.059
come back. And then what did Peterson do? We

00:55:55.059 --> 00:55:57.119
won him. Hey, that guy right there, he looks

00:55:57.119 --> 00:56:01.239
good. He doesn't smell like baby oil and poop

00:56:01.239 --> 00:56:07.780
the way Lowry did. With a fig leaf over his asshole.

00:56:08.639 --> 00:56:11.820
Oh, that guy was so greasy to me. Oh, he was

00:56:11.820 --> 00:56:14.400
creepy. There was a time I went up to Chief's

00:56:14.400 --> 00:56:17.679
training camp and was taking pictures. And then

00:56:17.679 --> 00:56:19.219
when they would let people along the sidelines

00:56:19.219 --> 00:56:22.530
take pictures and stuff. and Lowry came up and

00:56:22.530 --> 00:56:24.710
photobombed every one of them. He kept stepping

00:56:24.710 --> 00:56:26.909
in front of the camera, flexing his muscles.

00:56:27.070 --> 00:56:29.650
Okay, I kind of like that. That's funny. But

00:56:29.650 --> 00:56:32.309
it's like, dude, give me a chance to take pictures

00:56:32.309 --> 00:56:34.610
of other people. Everywhere I'd move, he'd come

00:56:34.610 --> 00:56:36.230
running over and stand in front of the camera.

00:56:38.949 --> 00:56:41.230
Okay, now, you've got to admit, that is kind

00:56:41.230 --> 00:56:43.429
of funny. It was kind of funny. I was smiling.

00:56:43.429 --> 00:56:45.389
But he should have gave you a couple of pictures

00:56:45.389 --> 00:56:50.769
without him. Yeah, yeah. What a dick. You see,

00:56:50.829 --> 00:56:52.750
I'd do stuff like pick my nose or something or

00:56:52.750 --> 00:56:57.750
pick my ass or something. Oh, okay. Oh, God.

00:56:58.130 --> 00:57:00.610
Or do something like look up in the air like

00:57:00.610 --> 00:57:02.929
you're terrified and point at something. Yeah.

00:57:04.769 --> 00:57:06.869
You know what I want to do one day is get one

00:57:06.869 --> 00:57:09.590
of those falconry gloves. Yeah. And then show

00:57:09.590 --> 00:57:11.789
up at the dog park nervously looking in the sky.

00:57:15.829 --> 00:57:18.090
I would go to them when they look at me funny

00:57:18.090 --> 00:57:20.530
going. He loves to eat dogs. That's how I'm going

00:57:20.530 --> 00:57:24.110
to get him back on my arm. Everyone with a chihuahua

00:57:24.110 --> 00:57:30.230
is fucking booking. Yes. Don't worry, don't worry.

00:57:30.289 --> 00:57:31.969
If he sees me, he won't pick off your little

00:57:31.969 --> 00:57:38.489
rug rat. Yeah. All right. Fuck, where were we?

00:57:39.309 --> 00:57:42.489
We talked about NFL rules changes. And then we

00:57:42.489 --> 00:57:45.750
got off on Nick Lowry doing his P. Diddy impersonation.

00:57:46.759 --> 00:57:49.380
Oh, his trial started this week, didn't it? Oh,

00:57:49.579 --> 00:57:52.099
I didn't realize. I wonder if he's eating a jury

00:57:52.099 --> 00:57:55.119
trial or just a judge, a bench trial. You know

00:57:55.119 --> 00:57:56.800
what? I've got to find this out. I have not.

00:57:56.940 --> 00:57:58.940
You know, I just got off the boat a couple days

00:57:58.940 --> 00:58:02.079
ago. I haven't been able to keep in touch with

00:58:02.079 --> 00:58:04.239
all that stuff, like the draft. I still don't

00:58:04.239 --> 00:58:06.380
know who all we got. I know key parts of it.

00:58:06.619 --> 00:58:10.900
Yeah. So, yeah, it was my understanding that

00:58:10.900 --> 00:58:15.909
started Monday, the trial. Could be. Yeah. I'm

00:58:15.909 --> 00:58:17.610
trying to figure out, would he be better off

00:58:17.610 --> 00:58:19.789
with a bench trial where he's just got to convince

00:58:19.789 --> 00:58:23.869
the judge, or a jury trial where he can sway

00:58:23.869 --> 00:58:26.090
people's minds? I think a bench trial. I think

00:58:26.090 --> 00:58:28.869
so, too. Yeah, because I think that people have

00:58:28.869 --> 00:58:32.110
heard enough of him, and you're not going to

00:58:32.110 --> 00:58:33.909
find anyone in America that doesn't know about

00:58:33.909 --> 00:58:38.309
the case. Yeah, and I think a judge is more likely

00:58:38.309 --> 00:58:42.280
to be sympathetic. Uh -huh. And judges, a lot

00:58:42.280 --> 00:58:44.019
of them are idiots. There's a lot of fine ones,

00:58:44.139 --> 00:58:46.639
but there's a lot of idiots. Yeah. So I can see

00:58:46.639 --> 00:58:51.119
why I'm going, oh, come on. Wasn't that big a

00:58:51.119 --> 00:58:58.199
deal, was it? Yeah, I could see that happening.

00:58:58.500 --> 00:59:01.739
Oh, yeah, yeah. Or P. Diddy signs like a shirt

00:59:01.739 --> 00:59:04.340
for him or something. Yeah. Yeah. All right,

00:59:04.360 --> 00:59:08.570
here's the Chief's Draft. First round, Josh Simmons,

00:59:08.809 --> 00:59:11.590
O -tackle, Ohio State. I like that. He had some

00:59:11.590 --> 00:59:13.550
knee issues. He should have been up higher. Yeah.

00:59:13.650 --> 00:59:15.829
That's what the Chiefs do. They're going to rehab

00:59:15.829 --> 00:59:17.469
him, and if not, they're going to hedge their

00:59:17.469 --> 00:59:20.070
bet with supplementary drafts like they've already

00:59:20.070 --> 00:59:23.690
did and also free agency pickups and people on

00:59:23.690 --> 00:59:28.630
rosters that let him go. Yeah. Second round,

00:59:28.929 --> 00:59:31.670
Omar Norman -Lott, D -tackle from Tennessee.

00:59:32.329 --> 00:59:34.070
Okay, that was a guy I didn't know they got,

00:59:34.230 --> 00:59:38.670
but I like that pick. Yeah. Later in that round,

00:59:38.909 --> 00:59:43.510
Ashton Gillott, D -end Louisville. Another defensive

00:59:43.510 --> 00:59:45.710
end. Okay, I like that. I like that. Yeah, we

00:59:45.710 --> 00:59:49.650
went defensive in this draft. Round four, Jalen

00:59:49.650 --> 00:59:52.989
Royals, wide receiver, Utah State. I love that

00:59:52.989 --> 00:59:55.150
pick. Yeah, I do too. For everything we said

00:59:55.150 --> 00:59:57.010
before. Look at his highlights if you don't believe

00:59:57.010 --> 01:00:00.840
me. Yeah, he's... That guy has a hell of an upside.

01:00:00.900 --> 01:00:03.719
If you can process him, oh, my gosh, that would

01:00:03.719 --> 01:00:06.800
be. And as far as, like, the defensive ends and

01:00:06.800 --> 01:00:09.659
all that, all our guys have been here a while.

01:00:09.980 --> 01:00:11.539
Some of them are getting ready to get the huge

01:00:11.539 --> 01:00:14.800
contract. Like Karloftis, he's getting ready

01:00:14.800 --> 01:00:16.159
to get the huge contract. That's true. He's been

01:00:16.159 --> 01:00:19.219
very effective, one of our echelon pass rushers,

01:00:19.219 --> 01:00:21.639
and a pretty good run stopper. Yeah. Chris Jones

01:00:21.639 --> 01:00:23.920
already gets the money. They're going to have

01:00:23.920 --> 01:00:26.199
to let some of these people go, and these are

01:00:26.199 --> 01:00:29.170
the people who are drafting to help. learn under

01:00:29.170 --> 01:00:31.809
their tutelage. So that's what they're doing.

01:00:31.869 --> 01:00:34.110
That's why they went defensive. And offense will

01:00:34.110 --> 01:00:36.050
be the next one. They have young receivers now

01:00:36.050 --> 01:00:38.409
that they're going to have for a while. It's

01:00:38.409 --> 01:00:44.769
a constant seesaw of balance. Yeah, look at where

01:00:44.769 --> 01:00:47.369
you're aging, regardless of the talent there.

01:00:48.110 --> 01:00:50.269
If you've got an area of your team where everyone's

01:00:50.269 --> 01:00:54.429
getting old, you've got to use them now. And

01:00:54.429 --> 01:00:56.730
for a couple of reasons. For one, you have to

01:00:56.730 --> 01:00:59.309
pay them huge money. Like Chris Jones, I mean,

01:00:59.329 --> 01:01:04.130
he might be a Hall of Famer. Yeah. And to keep

01:01:04.130 --> 01:01:06.969
that guy, you can't be too unfair about it unless

01:01:06.969 --> 01:01:09.409
he agrees to it. And the older they get, the

01:01:09.409 --> 01:01:11.550
more fragile they get too, unfortunately. And

01:01:11.550 --> 01:01:13.730
that is probably the biggest reason that they're

01:01:13.730 --> 01:01:16.070
not even money. They know that they're like an

01:01:16.070 --> 01:01:20.090
ACL away from being ineffective. And you know

01:01:20.090 --> 01:01:21.929
what's also cool about this wide receiver pick?

01:01:22.230 --> 01:01:25.170
What? Seeing the name Royals on the back of a

01:01:25.170 --> 01:01:28.730
Chiefs jersey. Oh, there it is. Yeah. That's

01:01:28.730 --> 01:01:31.389
cool. I think that's going to sell a crap ton

01:01:31.389 --> 01:01:34.250
of jerseys. It's just like Mahomes wearing a

01:01:34.250 --> 01:01:37.190
Witt Jr. Yeah. I love that, though. They're both

01:01:37.190 --> 01:01:39.610
from Texas. Yeah. Witt Jr. is projected to be

01:01:39.610 --> 01:01:41.590
something like Mahomes. I mean, he's already

01:01:41.590 --> 01:01:43.949
been phenomenal. But they think the guy is special.

01:01:44.369 --> 01:01:46.389
I think that's great that they're cross -promoting.

01:01:46.510 --> 01:01:49.000
Yeah. Not that Mahomes needs any, but, you know.

01:01:49.380 --> 01:01:51.519
Anyhow, I'm sorry. Go ahead, Royals. All right,

01:01:51.619 --> 01:01:55.239
so that was picked for round five. Jeffrey Bossa,

01:01:55.420 --> 01:01:59.400
linebacker from Oregon. Bossa, not Bosa? Bossa,

01:01:59.539 --> 01:02:02.139
B -A -S -S -A. Okay, so he can't be relationed

01:02:02.139 --> 01:02:05.739
to. No. But linebackers from Oregon tend to do

01:02:05.739 --> 01:02:07.579
fairly well in the NFL. Yeah, they usually do.

01:02:08.559 --> 01:02:11.539
Later in the fifth round, Rashard Smith, running

01:02:11.539 --> 01:02:15.440
back from Utah. Utah Martin. Utah Martin, okay.

01:02:15.599 --> 01:02:18.630
Yeah. The other, Jalen Royal is from Utah State.

01:02:19.530 --> 01:02:21.929
Rashard Smith is from Utah Martin. Interesting

01:02:21.929 --> 01:02:24.909
they got these West teams. Yeah. They must have

01:02:24.909 --> 01:02:27.090
picked up some good scouts from that part of

01:02:27.090 --> 01:02:28.590
the country. That's what I'm thinking. And I

01:02:28.590 --> 01:02:32.010
think it's also widely unpicked in those areas.

01:02:32.289 --> 01:02:36.150
Yeah, I would think so. And then nothing in the

01:02:36.150 --> 01:02:38.570
sixth round. Seventh round, our last pick, Noel

01:02:38.570 --> 01:02:45.920
Williams, corner from Arizona. We do need a little

01:02:45.920 --> 01:02:51.199
beefing up on cornerback anyhow. And a lot of

01:02:51.199 --> 01:02:54.360
times being picked that late, he's not just going

01:02:54.360 --> 01:02:56.000
to be considered as corner. He's going to be

01:02:56.000 --> 01:02:59.039
kick returner, gunner on special teams, that

01:02:59.039 --> 01:03:03.420
kind of thing. Okay. And also, you know the guy

01:03:03.420 --> 01:03:06.659
from Tennessee near Nashville that was a Titans

01:03:06.659 --> 01:03:17.760
fan? Annual siren testing, 11 o 'clock on Wednesdays.

01:03:18.280 --> 01:03:22.780
Well, I thought, and I guess I was wrong, during

01:03:22.780 --> 01:03:25.199
peak severe weather season they quit doing them.

01:03:25.659 --> 01:03:28.519
I guess they don't quit. No, no, no. I think

01:03:28.519 --> 01:03:30.559
they do it on no chance of severe weather days.

01:03:30.920 --> 01:03:33.199
Or they knew we were here and they wanted to

01:03:33.199 --> 01:03:35.579
mess up our podcast a little bit. That's okay.

01:03:35.679 --> 01:03:41.309
We can hack it. Yeah, we can do it. Anyhow. Topher

01:03:41.309 --> 01:03:43.769
left in a little bit for effect there. Yes. So

01:03:43.769 --> 01:03:46.030
sorry about your ears. We had about three and

01:03:46.030 --> 01:03:47.690
a half minutes of it. You guys had about three

01:03:47.690 --> 01:03:49.050
seconds of it. Matter of fact, when we get done

01:03:49.050 --> 01:03:50.730
vomiting, we're going to get back to the football.

01:03:53.030 --> 01:03:57.250
But, you know, I can't even say the word vomiting

01:03:57.250 --> 01:03:59.610
right now. I think you heard about my little

01:03:59.610 --> 01:04:02.369
episode on the boat, did you? No, actually I

01:04:02.369 --> 01:04:04.429
didn't. Oh, well, Cindy's the one that called

01:04:04.429 --> 01:04:08.199
it. It was sun poisoning. Oh, yeah. I spoke about

01:04:08.199 --> 01:04:11.420
this on the podcast last night, but I was in

01:04:11.420 --> 01:04:14.539
the hot tub for probably four or five hours.

01:04:14.659 --> 01:04:17.639
Yeah. It was hot, hotter than hell. We never

01:04:17.639 --> 01:04:20.199
went during this. This is later. This is a cruise.

01:04:20.400 --> 01:04:22.659
Yeah. This is later than we've ever went. We

01:04:22.659 --> 01:04:24.820
went to the extreme southern islands off the

01:04:24.820 --> 01:04:27.519
tip of Venezuela, which are the ABC Islands.

01:04:27.820 --> 01:04:31.280
Yeah. And, I mean, we were just melting. So I'm

01:04:31.280 --> 01:04:34.260
in there talking football with a Cincinnati guy,

01:04:34.360 --> 01:04:38.900
a Bills guy. I forgot, a couple other fans. And

01:04:38.900 --> 01:04:41.400
we're talking football and just, you know, we're

01:04:41.400 --> 01:04:45.000
fucking three deep on everything. Yeah. And so

01:04:45.000 --> 01:04:49.400
everyone slowly starts, you know, falling off.

01:04:49.480 --> 01:04:51.099
Like, oh, I got to meet the wife somewhere. Oh,

01:04:51.119 --> 01:04:53.039
I got to go have dinner. Oh, I got to go do this,

01:04:53.039 --> 01:04:56.239
you know. Well, me, I stay in there. I pass out

01:04:56.239 --> 01:05:00.239
for a little while. I wake up. And I had my shades

01:05:00.239 --> 01:05:02.719
on so no one could tell I was asleep. Yeah. I

01:05:02.719 --> 01:05:04.820
wake up beet red, and I'm like, what the fuck

01:05:04.820 --> 01:05:07.019
is this? I never burn. I'm like, what is this

01:05:07.019 --> 01:05:10.519
red shit? Oh, this is bullshit. And I hurt like

01:05:10.519 --> 01:05:13.420
hell. Yeah. I get back to the room. Suddenly,

01:05:13.500 --> 01:05:16.420
I get very dizzy, real bad vertigo, and I start

01:05:16.420 --> 01:05:19.539
vomiting everywhere. Yeah. And I thought it was

01:05:19.539 --> 01:05:22.860
a bug, but when Val told Cindy, she goes, oh,

01:05:22.860 --> 01:05:26.440
that sounds like sun poison. Looked up the symptoms.

01:05:27.239 --> 01:05:29.539
Pretty sure I got sun poisoning. Yeah, it is

01:05:29.539 --> 01:05:33.739
an actual radiation exposure. Where the radiation

01:05:33.739 --> 01:05:37.019
comes from the sun or a bomb or an X -ray, you

01:05:37.019 --> 01:05:39.619
got overexposed to radiation. Wow, I feel like

01:05:39.619 --> 01:05:45.739
a Russian agent. Yeah. Google it. So where were

01:05:45.739 --> 01:05:50.780
we? I don't know, that tornado siren kind of

01:05:50.780 --> 01:05:53.679
blasted everything out of my head. We had talked

01:05:53.679 --> 01:05:55.780
about the rules changes and then we went on to

01:05:55.780 --> 01:05:58.690
something else. We're talking about Mahomes,

01:05:58.789 --> 01:06:03.010
Witt. Oh, yeah, yeah. We were talking about the

01:06:03.010 --> 01:06:06.210
crossover. Promotion. Promotion that's going

01:06:06.210 --> 01:06:08.730
on. And it makes sense. Yeah. It makes sense.

01:06:08.750 --> 01:06:12.630
And then I like what they're doing. We had the

01:06:12.630 --> 01:06:16.489
largest. Hey, you think they know each other?

01:06:16.610 --> 01:06:23.829
I think so. Yeah, okay. Okay, so. What the fuck?

01:06:23.949 --> 01:06:25.949
Oh, we were also talking about the draft and

01:06:25.949 --> 01:06:28.269
Jalen Royals. Well, it's kind of hard to concentrate

01:06:28.269 --> 01:06:32.590
with blabber mouths over there. It's all echoey

01:06:32.590 --> 01:06:35.090
in there. Yeah, yeah. Fuck, come on, give your

01:06:35.090 --> 01:06:41.090
gums a break, bitch. So, damn it, I had a really

01:06:41.090 --> 01:06:42.889
good point until they started blathering off.

01:06:44.799 --> 01:06:47.639
It's getting old or maybe the chips in our head

01:06:47.639 --> 01:06:50.000
are malfunctioning. That's it right there. Shut

01:06:50.000 --> 01:06:54.880
the hell up over there. No, it made me lose my

01:06:54.880 --> 01:06:59.800
train of thought. Yeah, so let's see. Alan Witt

01:06:59.800 --> 01:07:04.099
Jr. and Mahomes and the crossover and that's

01:07:04.099 --> 01:07:08.380
when it all went sideways. Yeah, okay. Well,

01:07:08.519 --> 01:07:10.719
anyhow. We'll just make up shit until we remember.

01:07:10.960 --> 01:07:15.400
Yeah, there we go. It is getting darker out there,

01:07:15.460 --> 01:07:17.780
isn't it? It might rain. I mean, the last I knew,

01:07:17.820 --> 01:07:20.219
they kind of withdrew it. Yeah. They're kind

01:07:20.219 --> 01:07:21.420
of like, oh, yeah, yeah, it's going to rain.

01:07:21.480 --> 01:07:24.219
And I said, well, if you get rain. Yeah. Tenth

01:07:24.219 --> 01:07:26.000
of an inch, maybe three -tenths of an inch at

01:07:26.000 --> 01:07:28.079
most. So, in other words, it's going to piss

01:07:28.079 --> 01:07:30.800
the grass off. Yeah. Well, I mowed mine nice

01:07:30.800 --> 01:07:33.099
and short, hoping it would rain. Oh, I had to.

01:07:33.099 --> 01:07:35.219
Rolling the dice there. I had to do it with a

01:07:35.219 --> 01:07:37.579
push mower and it sucked balls. Oh, yeah. Yeah,

01:07:37.599 --> 01:07:41.599
because our riding mower is broke in that place

01:07:41.599 --> 01:07:45.840
we sent it to in Raytown. Obviously overbooked.

01:07:45.940 --> 01:07:49.960
Yeah. So, anyhow, if it's too much, I'm just

01:07:49.960 --> 01:07:51.320
going to tell them, bring it back. I'll fucking

01:07:51.320 --> 01:07:54.840
do it myself quicker. Yeah. That's why I sent

01:07:54.840 --> 01:07:56.820
it there. I thought I was going to come back

01:07:56.820 --> 01:07:59.119
from the cruise and go, all right, send the mower

01:07:59.119 --> 01:08:03.639
back. How much is it? Nope. Yeah, yeah. Unfortunately,

01:08:03.900 --> 01:08:07.059
that's been kind of a thing with, I've run into

01:08:07.059 --> 01:08:10.130
that with auto repair. Yeah. Is I say, you know,

01:08:10.130 --> 01:08:12.849
how soon can you work it in? Oh, you can bring

01:08:12.849 --> 01:08:14.150
it in tomorrow. Yeah, that happens all the time.

01:08:14.150 --> 01:08:15.429
But they're not going to get to it tomorrow.

01:08:15.469 --> 01:08:17.109
They're going to park it out back and get to

01:08:17.109 --> 01:08:19.989
it in three weeks. Yeah, no, that's it. The place

01:08:19.989 --> 01:08:22.750
I sent my Jeep to. Once they get it on the lot,

01:08:22.850 --> 01:08:24.750
then they have some control over you. Yeah, I

01:08:24.750 --> 01:08:26.670
went up there and I asked, I go, so do I just

01:08:26.670 --> 01:08:28.510
wait here? And they looked at me funny. Yeah.

01:08:29.189 --> 01:08:32.409
And they're like, oh, no, no, no, we don't know

01:08:32.409 --> 01:08:34.609
if we're going to get to it today. Well, when

01:08:34.609 --> 01:08:39.640
do I come back tomorrow? I don't know. We'll

01:08:39.640 --> 01:08:42.279
call you when it's ready. So you have an estimate?

01:08:43.600 --> 01:08:46.640
No, no, not really. I'm like, oh, so it's just

01:08:46.640 --> 01:08:48.880
going to sit out there? Yeah. It might as well

01:08:48.880 --> 01:08:50.619
sit in my driveway until you can get to it. That's

01:08:50.619 --> 01:08:51.979
what I told him I'd say. So give me a call when

01:08:51.979 --> 01:08:53.520
you're ready to start working on it, and I'll

01:08:53.520 --> 01:08:56.180
bring it back. Yeah, I go out there. I go, okay,

01:08:56.220 --> 01:08:59.699
I see 10 cars there. So I'm 11. When you get

01:08:59.699 --> 01:09:01.600
to 11, when you get to 10, call me. I'll bring

01:09:01.600 --> 01:09:04.409
my car in. Oh, no, if you take it, you lose your

01:09:04.409 --> 01:09:07.010
place. Yes, that's what they said. I said, so

01:09:07.010 --> 01:09:09.710
you want me to just leave my car here? Then give

01:09:09.710 --> 01:09:11.890
me a damn loaner. Yeah, well, they did. They

01:09:11.890 --> 01:09:14.550
eventually had to, but that's a whole other story.

01:09:14.689 --> 01:09:18.970
Yeah. If everybody did that, if everyone just

01:09:18.970 --> 01:09:21.350
didn't accept that bullshit as common practice,

01:09:21.649 --> 01:09:24.390
it wouldn't happen. No, no. If everyone held

01:09:24.390 --> 01:09:27.409
them to a standard, there would be a standard.

01:09:27.750 --> 01:09:31.630
You know, my wife. puts it this way. People treat

01:09:31.630 --> 01:09:34.510
you the way you let them. That's true. And that

01:09:34.510 --> 01:09:37.090
is so true. If you let them do it, let them get

01:09:37.090 --> 01:09:39.149
away with it, they will keep doing it. Yeah.

01:09:39.250 --> 01:09:41.510
And then I hear people going with the overreaction.

01:09:41.550 --> 01:09:44.670
I agree with that 100%. Okay. The overreaction

01:09:44.670 --> 01:09:47.109
comes from years of people fucking pushing you

01:09:47.109 --> 01:09:49.109
around. Then when you overreact, they try to

01:09:49.109 --> 01:09:50.590
make you feel bad about it. It's like, wait a

01:09:50.590 --> 01:09:54.069
minute. Nuh -uh. No. I'm standing my ground forcefully.

01:09:54.130 --> 01:09:57.529
Yes. So don't come after me. This is after years

01:09:57.529 --> 01:10:00.029
of people doing stupid shit. Because we always

01:10:00.029 --> 01:10:03.029
get told, let it go, it's mine, or let it slide.

01:10:03.550 --> 01:10:06.970
After a certain point, you've had enough. And

01:10:06.970 --> 01:10:10.449
you realize, okay, they're picking on me because

01:10:10.449 --> 01:10:13.210
I'm letting it slide. It's happening to me because

01:10:13.210 --> 01:10:16.170
I'm not pushing back. So it's time to stand up.

01:10:16.329 --> 01:10:18.850
It is. I agree. And because it's unexpected from

01:10:18.850 --> 01:10:21.149
you, it's usually met with a little hostility.

01:10:21.789 --> 01:10:24.130
Yeah, they're like, whoa, whoa, whoa. The punching

01:10:24.130 --> 01:10:27.170
bag is punching back. I don't like that. I don't

01:10:27.170 --> 01:10:29.210
like that. Because you're not supposed to. I

01:10:29.210 --> 01:10:32.649
think that's part of the reason that people are

01:10:32.649 --> 01:10:35.390
hating on the Chiefs. Because we were a punching

01:10:35.390 --> 01:10:38.550
bag for so long. And then we got good in the

01:10:38.550 --> 01:10:41.829
90s and then we got crappy again. And now we're

01:10:41.829 --> 01:10:46.810
good and we're demonstrably as good, if not better,

01:10:46.850 --> 01:10:49.130
than anyone else currently over the last few

01:10:49.130 --> 01:10:53.909
years. Also, we are a flyover. It does make a

01:10:53.909 --> 01:10:56.539
difference. There are people who are used to

01:10:56.539 --> 01:10:59.119
the Chiefs being an easy win, you know, the easy

01:10:59.119 --> 01:11:02.180
out in baseball, irrelevant, you have to pay

01:11:02.180 --> 01:11:04.600
attention to them, and now we're not that. And

01:11:04.600 --> 01:11:07.100
that's part of the reason we get the hostility.

01:11:07.380 --> 01:11:09.439
Yeah, the East and West Coast like us to be punching

01:11:09.439 --> 01:11:12.100
bags so they can better their record and go to

01:11:12.100 --> 01:11:16.380
the playoffs and Super Bowls and championships

01:11:16.380 --> 01:11:20.340
and World Series. Yeah, yeah. It's not much different

01:11:20.340 --> 01:11:23.020
from the elite college teams who will pick, you

01:11:23.020 --> 01:11:25.920
know. a couple of really crap colleges to beat

01:11:25.920 --> 01:11:28.220
up on early in the season. You know, a tune -up

01:11:28.220 --> 01:11:30.800
game where they're guaranteed to win. That's

01:11:30.800 --> 01:11:33.319
kind of what the NFL likes for a while is they

01:11:33.319 --> 01:11:35.239
wanted certain teams to be the punching bags.

01:11:35.479 --> 01:11:38.479
Yeah, and I agree. I remember what I was going

01:11:38.479 --> 01:11:41.100
to say now before the big hysteria about people

01:11:41.100 --> 01:11:46.319
that knew each other came on. Okay. I like the

01:11:46.319 --> 01:11:48.420
way Kansas City is doing things with the new

01:11:48.420 --> 01:11:52.130
Casey Current soccer stadium. The only stand

01:11:52.130 --> 01:11:53.989
-alone female soccer stadium. It's beautiful.

01:11:54.170 --> 01:11:56.890
It's brand new. It is nice. It's got all this

01:11:56.890 --> 01:12:00.069
attention from everywhere. They had the largest,

01:12:00.270 --> 01:12:04.329
I think, women's cricket attendance ever, ever

01:12:04.329 --> 01:12:07.470
in existence at that stadium already. They had

01:12:07.470 --> 01:12:10.029
one game there that was, like, really, really

01:12:10.029 --> 01:12:12.250
cold, and they still had a ton of people show

01:12:12.250 --> 01:12:15.090
up. Yeah, it's really been a smashing success.

01:12:15.210 --> 01:12:18.920
Yeah, we need one. Look at the state of our roads.

01:12:20.439 --> 01:12:23.300
Anyways, have they done anything about the access

01:12:23.300 --> 01:12:26.579
and parking? Because I remember they weren't

01:12:26.579 --> 01:12:29.939
very ADA compliant on access. Not that I know

01:12:29.939 --> 01:12:33.100
of. Yeah, I've seen some signs about parking

01:12:33.100 --> 01:12:37.619
for the area and shuttle service. But I should

01:12:37.619 --> 01:12:39.380
look into it and see how much they've addressed.

01:12:39.680 --> 01:12:41.319
But I know they're at least not getting criticized

01:12:41.319 --> 01:12:44.739
anymore about it. No, they're not, but I do know

01:12:44.739 --> 01:12:47.020
this. If you came up to the city market, there's

01:12:47.020 --> 01:12:49.720
a game going on right now at the current stadium.

01:12:49.960 --> 01:12:54.119
Yeah. We get charged 30 -some bucks. Yep. So

01:12:54.119 --> 01:12:56.079
if they call out addressing it, I guess, okay,

01:12:56.140 --> 01:12:58.739
they did. And it's a small shuttle from here,

01:12:58.840 --> 01:13:00.819
I mean, to be honest. Yeah. You just go over

01:13:00.819 --> 01:13:03.100
one bridge, and you don't even cross the Missouri

01:13:03.100 --> 01:13:06.760
River. You just go over the bluff, basically.

01:13:07.659 --> 01:13:10.159
And the bluff is, what, about 60 feet or more,

01:13:10.300 --> 01:13:12.979
something like that? Yeah. And I guess strictly

01:13:12.979 --> 01:13:15.180
speaking, here in the city market, this isn't

01:13:15.180 --> 01:13:18.000
public parking. I think the businesses around

01:13:18.000 --> 01:13:22.319
here have control over this parking. So they

01:13:22.319 --> 01:13:24.739
made a deal where they do that. So if they get

01:13:24.739 --> 01:13:26.920
money for it, I'm all for it. Because, I mean,

01:13:27.000 --> 01:13:30.800
look, crime is killing this area. Killing this

01:13:30.800 --> 01:13:33.520
area. They're doing smash and grabs. And the

01:13:33.520 --> 01:13:35.640
people that are making an honest living by having

01:13:35.640 --> 01:13:38.010
an honest business here. If they're not getting

01:13:38.010 --> 01:13:40.510
taxed crazy, which they are, a lot of them going

01:13:40.510 --> 01:13:42.470
out because they can't afford the taxes, they're

01:13:42.470 --> 01:13:45.829
getting stolen. And then they're like Betty Ray's

01:13:45.829 --> 01:13:47.810
up the road. They got the smash and grabs a couple

01:13:47.810 --> 01:13:50.010
times. That guy said, you know how many ice cream

01:13:50.010 --> 01:13:52.090
cones I got to sell to make up that $3 ,000?

01:13:52.289 --> 01:13:54.489
And you know the tax incentives really aren't

01:13:54.489 --> 01:13:57.470
cutting it? No. They really aren't because you

01:13:57.470 --> 01:14:00.550
can give them tax breaks and other incentives

01:14:00.550 --> 01:14:04.899
to move in, but if you're getting... robbed and

01:14:04.899 --> 01:14:07.359
the customers don't want to come, your business

01:14:07.359 --> 01:14:09.619
is going to fail anyway. It's just not worth

01:14:09.619 --> 01:14:13.000
it. I would love to see a lot of businesses say,

01:14:13.119 --> 01:14:16.159
screw your tax incentives, fix the problem, and

01:14:16.159 --> 01:14:17.939
then I'll move my business. Well, I mean, look

01:14:17.939 --> 01:14:22.460
at RC's. They shut down. To be fair, it wasn't

01:14:22.460 --> 01:14:25.220
the owners that started it up, the Vannois. They

01:14:25.220 --> 01:14:27.899
sold it to another group and they probably went

01:14:27.899 --> 01:14:31.899
out because I think it's like $68 ,000. For taxes

01:14:31.899 --> 01:14:33.840
that year is what I thought it said? I think

01:14:33.840 --> 01:14:36.619
so, yeah. I was talking to the guy down there

01:14:36.619 --> 01:14:40.520
at Mama Leone's over there on Holmes and Redbridge.

01:14:40.859 --> 01:14:43.180
Oh, yeah. And if I understood him correctly,

01:14:43.460 --> 01:14:46.819
it's $50 a day is what it equals to in taxes.

01:14:47.000 --> 01:14:50.239
Lord. Yeah. So you add that up over a year. He

01:14:50.239 --> 01:14:53.779
said, all right, let's say I have a fair day.

01:14:54.060 --> 01:14:58.300
I make $300, okay? You have lights. You have

01:14:58.300 --> 01:15:01.710
labor. You have taxes. You have all the other

01:15:01.710 --> 01:15:04.630
ancillary shit, food costs. How much do you take

01:15:04.630 --> 01:15:08.229
home? Rent. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, the profit margins

01:15:08.229 --> 01:15:11.489
are tiny. Yeah. So why would someone invest in

01:15:11.489 --> 01:15:13.430
something like that when you could go, like,

01:15:13.470 --> 01:15:16.109
play the stock market and do much better? Or

01:15:16.109 --> 01:15:18.510
go to an area that's safe and secure and has

01:15:18.510 --> 01:15:21.529
a proven record of friendliness to large crowds,

01:15:21.750 --> 01:15:23.470
et cetera. Go to Leawood. Go open your business

01:15:23.470 --> 01:15:25.750
there. Go to Leawood over in Park, which a lot

01:15:25.750 --> 01:15:28.289
of businesses have. Yeah, yeah. If you want someone

01:15:28.289 --> 01:15:32.960
to risk. to come down to an area where they could

01:15:32.960 --> 01:15:36.260
suffer from a lot of crime and poor attendance,

01:15:36.500 --> 01:15:40.199
etc., you're going to wind up with a lot of gamblers

01:15:40.199 --> 01:15:43.180
who want to take that risk. That's right. As

01:15:43.180 --> 01:15:45.060
soon as they make their money back, they're going

01:15:45.060 --> 01:15:47.020
to sell and they're out, and then the new buyers

01:15:47.020 --> 01:15:48.359
are going to say, you know what, this doesn't

01:15:48.359 --> 01:15:49.819
work, and then they're out and you're back to

01:15:49.819 --> 01:15:52.960
nothing. And then from the suburbia USA, you're

01:15:52.960 --> 01:15:55.119
driving 10 miles on these shitty roads to get

01:15:55.119 --> 01:15:59.439
here. Oh, God. Yeah. Kansas City, listen up.

01:15:59.500 --> 01:16:03.140
You got the World Cup coming. You got two major

01:16:03.140 --> 01:16:05.859
issues you need to address. And I mean right

01:16:05.859 --> 01:16:10.640
now. Crime and roads. Do that and you might have

01:16:10.640 --> 01:16:13.680
some happy people. But until then, it's all cosmetic.

01:16:14.020 --> 01:16:16.859
Yeah. You can smile all you want with that golden

01:16:16.859 --> 01:16:19.500
shovel in front of the fucking camera. But the

01:16:19.500 --> 01:16:23.039
bottom line is, is it's rotten inside. Fix it,

01:16:23.039 --> 01:16:25.520
Kansas City. And with that, thank you everybody

01:16:25.520 --> 01:16:29.100
for listening. We really appreciate it. Go fuck

01:16:29.100 --> 01:16:29.460
yourself.
