Hey, guess what? You just landed on the sports
bastards. Sorry about your luck. Well, since
the sports show can't be called two douchebags
with a microphone, maybe we could just call them
the sports bastards. I've got us going. I'll
kind of adjust the levels on the fly. Okay. All
right. We're kind of on a time limit today because,
well, the city market in Kansas City are stupid.
Yes. I mean, no other way to say it except they
are ridiculously stupid. Yeah. It's like, please
come down and spend your money, but you have
nowhere to park. yeah yeah and if you do park
you better damn well be out there after two hours
well or they're gonna boot your car yes and they
will too because you know um there's this thing
about spending too much money and you have to
reach for money well you know uh yeah yeah yeah
so anyhow little chicago we are in every aspect
yeah unfortunately yeah yeah crime all that good
stuff at least we're not as bad as memphis yet
oh geez yeah yeah yeah you drive buy, you might
just, I don't know, get ricochet shot. Something.
Yeah, geez. Yeah. They are dying down there,
too, because the businesses are just like, you
know. Giving up. Yeah, they're giving up. Well,
they are around here, too, actually. Yeah, kind
of like the businesses in San Francisco and various
other California cities. They're like, eh. We
can't work under your existing laws, so see ya.
Yeah, we'll just see you later. CVS, I think,
wasn't it, and Walgreens maybe? I don't know.
There's been a few of them that just said, you
know what, we're leaving. A bunch of insurance
companies pulling out of California. I can't
blame them. Not exactly a fun time to be a Californian
right now, I don't imagine. No, I don't think
so either. Yep, and then you go to another state.
and you do the same thing. Yeah. They're like
a herd of fucking elk. It's a rolling tide. It's
like, oh, look what they're getting away over
there. Let's do it here. Yeah. Come on. Hey.
Let's make everything the same. Yes. Yeah, that'll
work. Yes. We're all unique, special little snowflakes,
and we all deserve exactly the same thing. Yes.
Yeah. How does that work again? Well, okay, the
app doesn't seem to be working. You know what?
I'm going to keep working on this. All right.
You got some football stuff going on. Yeah, yeah.
Everyone's probably heard by now that Aaron Rodgers
has signed a one -year deal with the Steelers.
And he's saying he's pretty darn sure that this
is going to be his last season in the NFL. Yeah.
And the way he's phrasing it is, well, they only
gave me a one -year deal, so I guess I'm only
here for one year. What would you give him? I'm
pretty sure he only wanted a one -year deal.
Yeah. Yeah. I would have gave him a 20 -day deal.
Say, the first game, if you don't look good,
fucking you're out. We're not wasting time with
you. Halftime of the first game, we have the
option to void your contract and send you back
to Green Bay. See Mike Tomlin running out there,
fucking calling it a timeout. We don't understand
why he's calling it a timeout. Oh, wait a minute.
Oh, yeah, yeah. He's firing Aaron Rodgers. Aaron
Rodgers being forced to strip his uniform off
at the 50 -yard line because he can't take it
home with him. They charge him a fee. So he's
like, I only got a 30 -day deal. Here you go.
First thing, we'd be able to see if he's hung
like a Tootsie Roll, like apparently P. Diddy
is. He may have won the trial, but he lost the
war. Because he will never, people will never,
look, I mean, he's got enough money, he doesn't
have to worry about selling albums. True. But,
I mean, he'll get some lawsuits, I know this,
and all that. But still, he'll still have enough
money. Yeah. The thing is, is his reputation
is ruined. Ruined. Yeah, yeah. There's only going
to be a few people left that are going to be
willing to say that they still support Diddy
publicly. Yeah. Yeah, and that will... Yeah.
And those people, people will laugh at anyhow.
Notice how it's always guys with little tiny
wieners that cause all the trouble. Like Elon
Musk and his dick that don't work. Yeah. Jack
the Ripper had a wiener that didn't work and
he wound up killing women because he was so angry
that his dick didn't work. It makes you pretty
fucking mad every day. Every guy out there who's
driving a big giant lifted pickup truck. You
know they got tiny winners. You mean the transgender
one? Yes. The transgender pickup trucks with
the little balls hanging from the... Well, I'll
go into one bullet point while we're on Aaron
Rodgers. Will Aaron Rodgers be a success in Pittsburgh?
Limited success. I think he will. I think that's
exactly... I think they'll go to the playoffs.
Yeah, they've got a good team. Playoffs. They
have a really good head coach in Mike Tomlin.
So if there's any good to be wrung out of Aaron
Rodgers, he'll get it. He'll find it. Yep, and
here's what's stopping him. Buffalo, Kansas City,
Baltimore, Cincinnati maybe. Let's see. There's
a variety of teams much better. Yeah, I think
Aaron Rodgers is going to realize that the AFC
is not as friendly as the NFC has been lately.
Yes, yep, I agree. Yeah, so you got some more?
Go ahead. Yeah, let's talk about Justin Tucker,
the ex -Ravens kicker who apparently was doing
a Deshaun Watson on every massage therapist he
could find. Now, all along he's been saying,
I'm perfectly innocent, I've done nothing wrong,
I'm going to be exonerated, everyone will see,
I've done absolutely nothing. Okay, he had a
meeting at the NFL office with him, his union
rep, and himself, and the NFL said, you've got
two choices. One, we can do a full investigation
into this, take our time, look into everything,
and then we can make a decision then. Or, you
can take a 10 -game suspension right now, and
it'll all be over and done with. And Justin Tucker,
who claims he's completely innocent, said, oh
hell yeah, I'll take the 10 -game suspension.
Don't investigate me. If he's so innocent, why
doesn't he want an investigation? Well, because
he's looked at all these other investigations
and all the dirt they uncovered to Sean Watson.
Because they won't stop. If they investigate,
they're not going to stop with just the massage
therapist that he's trying to rape. They're going
to look into everything. Exactly. So Justin Cucker,
the sexual predator and scumbag, has now got
a 10 -game suspension. He has no team. He has
listed his Baltimore house for sale. And any
team that wants him is going to be without him
for 10 games. Okay, I got it. We'll do this.
Okay, excellent. You think Tucker's done at least
for this year? I think he's done for good because
he was already declining. He's already an overkicker.
True. And last year he had a horrible season.
That is true as well. There's a history like
Deshaun Watson and all these other players that
as soon as they – go through a situation like
this, they're ruined. Yeah. Psychologically,
they can't do it anymore. It's kind of like a,
I don't know, like they've been found out. Yeah,
and I imagine a lot of their teammates just don't
want them around anymore, don't want anything
to do with them. Yeah. Yeah. It's like people
don't want to hang out with them. People don't
want to pal around with them. They don't want
to be seen with them. It's a different element
when something like that happens. I remember
a line from a movie where a man had been fired.
the police force and his reaction was I was a
member of a group and they will no longer have
me. And he was just utterly despondent because
being a cop was his identity. I think Tucker's
going to have the same thing. He's a football
player. He loves being a football player. That's
a good point. He uses being a football player
to sexually assault women. He's going to miss
that because he's an asshole. But he's going
to have to adjust to life where he's not a football
player and nobody admires him and most people
think he's a dirty scumbag. wow that's going
to be shocked oh yeah anything like this where
the it's uh where you're pretty much a scumbag
if you do like wife feeding yeah if you've ever
noticed that first their skills deteriorate they
decline significantly no matter what age they
are yeah and i think it's a psychological thing
because like i said people distance themselves
from you they're not as nice yeah They don't
want you around their family and children, you
know, stuff like that. And then I think it gets
in their psyche that they're inferior. Unless
you're a true sociopath and have zero remorse
or conscience. Which could be, Justin Tucker.
Which could be. But unless you're that, it will
eat at you. You might justify it to yourself
in all sorts of ways. You know, I'm doing it
for my own reasons. I'm okay. I'm not a bad person.
It's going to eat at you. I agree. Yeah. Yeah.
Unless you just have absolutely no moral center
at all. Well, let's face it. Justin Tucker was
not a favored person at all. Yeah. He was not
liked. He was very hard to get along with. He
did dirty things to the other players. Kind of
like Nick Lowry. Yeah, like Nick Lowry, yeah.
Like Nick the Kick. Yeah. Yeah, he would go over
there and pick fights with the opposite team
and be a dick. So, you know, he pretty much gets
what he, you know, it's justice, if you will.
Karma is biting his ass. Yes. Yeah. Good job.
Yep. Okay, got an update on the Cleveland Browns
and the Art Modell Law. Oh, yeah. The Cleveland
Browns were trying to leave the city limits of
Cleveland for a suburb called Brook Park, and
they had like a massive dome stadium they want
to build there. Yeah. But there's this Art Modell
Law that says if you use publicly funded venue
for your sports team, you can't leave. without
giving 60 days notice and putting your team up
for sale. And if the city or the people of the
city want to buy it, you have to sell it. Okay,
that was taken to court, and the court decided
that's not the city of Cleveland, that's the
state of Ohio. So they can't leave the state
of Ohio, but they can definitely leave Cleveland.
So they're going to go to the suburbs like another
certain team that we know of that we'll get into.
Yes. So, yeah, Cleveland has closed on their
property in Brook Park. So they are leaving downtown
Cleveland for the suburbs, and that's that. Well,
you know what? I mean, everybody loves a downtown
stadium. Yeah. But if there's more money elsewhere,
like Kansas City, they're going to go there.
Paid a visit to the Cleveland Browns Stadium.
I parked there when I went to the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame. You can walk from one to the other.
That's what I thought. That's why they did that
cross promotion. Yeah. And it's right there on
the shore of whatever great lake that is. Erie?
I think it's Erie. I think it's Erie. So you
get a nice cold wind coming off that lake. Even
though it was summer, that was a cold wind coming
off the lake. But the downtown area of Cleveland,
there was just nothing there. Yeah. I mean, if
you want to go down and make a day of it, there's
just nothing there. Or there wasn't then, when
I visited about 10 years ago. You see, I find
that surprising. Yeah. I mean, why wouldn't they
build up the shoreline and the lake and all that?
Wasn't that why they put the Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame there? Exactly. And the stadium there,
so they could develop around it? Nothing. Cleveland
has been known as a cesspool for a while to other
cities, and so I'm not dogging them. Yeah, I
know it's really undesirable for other players
to have to go to Cleveland just because they've
had their reputation. It's not a real fun place
to live. Yeah, so that would just go along with
it. I mean, you know, I'm pretty sure the suburbs
are more lively, but definitely an inclusion
of more funds. Yeah. What is it about Ohio teams?
We've got Cleveland that's kind of a dump. Cincinnati,
who plays in the town that is one of the most
racist cities in the Midwest, if not the country.
I mean, what do these players think when they
get traded or drafted by the Bengals and they
show up and everybody hates them because of their
skin color? It's like, is this 1950? What the
hell is going on here? And all this is allegedly.
Allegedly. Okay. If you can kind of notice by
all the flack they get, and I'm talking about
the Bengals, now you've got Ty Henderson not
wanting to sign. You have Jamar Chase, and then
you had, who's that other receiver that had problems
with him? T. Higgins. Yeah, T. Higgins. Every
one of their star players, except for Burrow,
has had problems signing their contract. Yeah.
So there's something a little bit more to it
than that. I think so. It turns out Cincinnati
is staying put, at least for this season. Yeah.
And they're continuing to work out a deal. You
see, I don't think that they're going to move.
I don't think the NFL is going to allow them
to move. Yeah, that's the thing to remember is
no team can move without league approval. Exactly.
So when Art Modell snuck the Browns out of Cleveland
in the 90s and moved them to Baltimore and everyone
woke up and, oh my God, the Browns have moved.
The whole league office knew about it. All 32
other teams knew about it. They just didn't tell
anybody. No, you're right. Same thing when the
Baltimore Colts left Baltimore and became the
Indianapolis Colts in the middle of the night
with like 10 moving trucks. Yeah. And everybody
was shocked. Well, the league knew all about
it because they'd already approved it. They just
chose not to tell anybody. Yeah. That's the NFL.
Yeah, that is the NFL. That's your friend, the
NFL. But the NFL will do what the NFL needs to
do to... Continue to make record profits. Oh,
heck yeah. And that's all there is to it. It's
about the money. Always has been. And if you
think it's about the sport or the game or the...
No, it's about the money. It is. Yeah, everything
else has been. It's about the money. I would
agree. Well, let's talk about Mark Donovan and
the Kansas City Chiefs. Okay. Well, I... Oh,
go ahead. I was kind of heartbroken when I saw
this story yesterday. that Art Donovan, president
of the Kansas City Chiefs, wrote a letter to
the Kansas Senate. And this is public information
because it's an elected body. And he was saying,
we really want this to go forward to a dome stadium
in Kansas. We really want to bring the NFL to
Kansas. Please, please give us the extension
on the deadline so we can make this work and
make it happen because we really want to build
a dome stadium in Kansas. Okay. That is in writing
from the chief's president. Mark Donovan is intelligent,
extremely intelligent. Yeah. And very savvy businessman.
And let me go ahead and just go through a line
of this. Okay. Kansas City. Yeah. One of the
worst crime records in the country. Oh, yeah.
Right next to Arrowhead Stadium, what is there,
a Taco Bell? Maybe one, yeah. Yeah. An Amoco
or something, a BP or something. In a shitty
hotel. In a shitty hotel that I think has been
abandoned. I don't even think it's a hotel anymore.
It's some sort of an old complex that turned
into a Christian athlete complex, but now I don't
even know if it's that. There's nothing around
it. We've had 50 years to develop the stadium
area. We've done nothing. Nothing. Nothing. So,
they look over at Kansas. They see the Speedway.
Yep. They see Children's Mercy Park. They see
the Legends. They see these beautiful infrastructures.
Kansas said already, you come over here, we're
going to give you a dome. A retractable dome
will get a Super Bowl. Yeah, we'll be first in
line for a Super Bowl once we have that dome
stated. With our tradition and Patrick Mahomes
at the helm and Andy Reid, we will get a Super
Bowl sooner than later. And Missouri could have
done something about this a long time ago, but
they did not. Missouri, Kansas City, Missouri
is going off the cliff and has been. It really
is, yeah. It got too big too fast, and instead
of having a good plan, all we had was corruption.
Well, yeah, and all you have is people with photo
ops. Yeah. you know right next to the streetcar
hey look yeah then someone gets shot right next
door have you ever seen those groundbreaking
ceremonies where they get the politicians out
there with the gold shovels and they pretend
they're digging dirt isn't that the biggest circle
jerk you've ever seen and it's just utterly useless
really stupid and it's just a bunch of political
hacks up there congratulating all it is is people
trying to further their career yeah every photo
op they can insert themselves into that's what
they do and that's what you have around kansas
city and that's what you had around chicago and
that's what you had around every city that has
failed i tell you the more often i see a politician's
picture the more i hate them me too because they're
spending their time getting their picture taken
it's like get to work yeah i don't want to see
your fucking mug i know what you look like you're
my employee trump You're my employee, Quentin
Lucas. Get your fucking ass to work. And you
know why Topra said both parties? You know why
I said both parties? Because both parties are
scum. Yes, yes. Look, you may agree with one
more than the other, but believe you me, if it
came to their pocket and your pocket, it would
be their pocket. And that's how come things are
the way they are. How come you can have all this
redevelopment going on and all these big corporations
get all these tax breaks and then the people
down the road that try to open up a business
in the crossroads get taxed to death? The only
consolation is it's way worse in England. Yeah,
that's about it. It is so bad. I've been watching
this show about this guy who's trying to run
a farm in England. And the government is crushing
the farmer in England. Just out and out trying
to destroy them. Yeah. Like slaughterhouses in
England. They change the rules and regulations
on them so fast that the only ones they can keep
up and survive are the big... industrial corporate
ones. Uh -huh. And they're taking over. And that's
what the legislature's for. Yeah. So Kansas City,
Missouri legislature has been designed to make
money for the people in power, but not to build
us a stadium. Yes, absolutely. Okay, so we're
talking about the Chiefs. Okay. Oh. Okay. We're
talking about developing them around the Arrowhead
Stadium. Let me ask you a question. Yeah. When
the Chiefs move to Kansas and when the Royals
move downtown, are they ever going to get another
tenant for either of those stadiums? No. No,
I don't think so either. It's going to be torn
down. That's the sad part. Arrowhead Stadium
and Royal Stadium are going to get demolished.
Now, hopefully they will sell parts of it. Like,
hey, you want to buy a seat that used to be in
Arrowhead Stadium? Here it is for $175 or whatever.
They will. But those stadiums are going to get
torn down because the teams moved. So what do
you think they're going to build in their place?
I'm thinking maybe a Walmart. Probably. Probably.
Yeah. That will close in six months. Yeah. Yes.
Yeah. Yeah. Yep. How about a truck driving school?
There we go. There we go. I think it will be
one of those truck depot facilities. Yeah, yeah.
No, it's going to be an Amazon warehouse. Oh,
that's even better. Put a big -ass Amazon warehouse
right where Mahomes and Dawson and Kelsey and
Montana, all those people had all those excellent
plays, all that years of excellence. Let's just
tear it down and put a... frickin' Amazon warehouse
in its place. Yeah, yeah. Thanks, Mayor Lucas.
Yes, thank you. And furthermore, more insult
to injury, they could call it Mack Castle...
Industrial Park. Industrial Park, yes. I'd love
that. I would, too. Todd Haley Industrial Avenue.
Yes. Todd Haley Avenue, Mack Castle Industrial
Park. The Todd Haley Welcoming Center. Yes, that
would be a good one. It hits you in the face.
It throws a beer at you. And then it pouts like
a little five -year -old. Now, the interesting
thing I forgot to mention, when Mark Donovan
wrote this letter, the Missouri legislature responded
with, oh, well, that's just a formality. It was
no big deal. Yeah, it was just a formality. Bullshit.
I know that. Even Missouri's political spin is
getting pretty weak. They can't come up with
a better lie than that. Why in the world would
you just go, I mean. I would have been so adamant
about that, going, no, that's what they all do.
It's a positioning. It's a point. It's trying
to get us to react, and we did. But no. You know
what? No, no, no. This is Mark Donovan being
a great businessman, which he is. Yep. And that's
why he has that spot. Yeah. But for me, what's
more insulting than being lied to is being lied
to poorly. Yeah. It's like... You didn't even
take the time and effort to come up with a good
lie or a believable lie. You put no effort into
this. You thought I was just going to believe
this sack of shit. No, I know. You have no respect
for me whatsoever. You think I'm going to buy
this. It was almost like it caught him off guard
so quick. Yeah. That they didn't know, you know,
it was like a quick, what do we... Somebody released
a statement that it was expected and we knew
it and it's a formality. Okay, it's either that
or they thought, we'd better downplay this. Let's
soft serve this guy. Oh, yeah, yeah, that old
thing. Yeah, I think it's, you know, dead man
walking time. I think it is, too. It really is.
And honestly, if I were the Chiefs, I would look
to go to Johnson County as well or even Wyandotte
County. One of the two. Now, that whole complex
that used to be the sprint... and then it was
T -Mobile, and now it's Asperia. One of the partners,
one of the part owners of the Chiefs has bought
most of that. And that's where the Chiefs offices
are going to be, where their training facility
is going to be. And the stadium is going to be
in Wyandotte County near the racetrack because
they can borrow their parking. They won't have
to build all their own parking because there's
pretty much never going to be a day where there's
a race and a football game in the same weekend.
So the Chiefs will always be able to use the
racetrack's parking lot. Maybe they can knock
down Warren Buckplug's place over there. That
could work. Did I say Buckplug? Warren Buffet.
Warren Buffet. Maybe they can knock down his
Nebraska Furniture Mart and put in something
useful like a stadium. They're not calling it
Nebraska Furniture Mart anymore. Oh, what are
they calling it? All the advertisements say NFM.
They're going by their initials now. The softer
gentle. Yes. It's like the Jewish Community Center
in Johnson County. They won't call themselves
the Jewish Community Center anymore. Yeah, because
someone will kill them. They call themselves
the J. The J. It's all those neurotic, insecure
Johnson County housewives don't have to feel
weird about going someplace that says Jew on
it. Oh, no. Here's what I thought it was. It's
so they don't get shot. Well, that could be true.
People have already been shot there. That's true,
that's true. The other guy showed up to the Jewish
community center and shot five people, none of
which were Jews. He ran for Senate, too, didn't
he? The Senate of Kansas or something, I thought.
I wouldn't be surprised. No, I'm pretty sure
he did. Hey, if Washington, D .C. will re -elect
crackhead Marion Barry, this guy's got a shot.
How about that idiot over there in California?
They're all idiots over there in California.
Yeah, that's what I was getting ready to say.
I can't think of his name, but they're all. Yeah,
I don't blame the Chiefs at all. I would move
too. I don't care what Missouri offered me. I'd
still move. I'd be like, no, you guys need to
concentrate on yourselves. We can't have a relationship
right now because you've got to work on yourself.
That's it. And then a couple weeks ago, I was
giving a deposition in a room full of lawyers.
And during a break in the proceedings, one of
the lawyers was talking to the other and saying,
hey, where's your office? And it was some office
here downtown. And then she said, but we're all
getting kicked out. I said, why are you getting
kicked out? It's like someone bought the building,
is gonna turn it into condos because they believe
the Royal Stadium is gonna be right nearby. So
the real estate speculation has already started
based on the Royals moving downtown. People are
buying buildings and turning them into condos.
because they're that sure that the Royals are
moving downtown. That's good enough for me. I
think the deal's been cut. Yeah, they're not
telling us yet, but the deal's been done. They're
like, well, we might as well concentrate everything
on the Royals because we know the Chiefs have
left. Yeah, and very earliest, they'll wait until
after the baseball season is over to tell us,
oh, by the way, that was the last time we're
going to be in. And also, the Royals need more
help. They do. They do. Yeah, I think as soon
as they get a stadium plan and get it built,
they are gone. They are gone. Yeah. And the reason
is, is because... Oh. That's my take my pills
alarm. Oh, okay. I already did. Okay, cool. Anyhow,
I mean, do you want to keep going on that? I
think we kind of hashed it. Yeah. Okay. Let's
see, was interested to read that the Patriots
have drafted three kickers in the last five years.
Apparently it's not working out, so Andy Borgalis
is the latest. They moved on from Gostkowski
in 20, remember Gostkowski? Yeah. In 2020 they
moved on from him, and this is their third drafted
kicker in five years. They don't seem to be able
to get it right. Well, I don't know what happened.
Evidently, Bill Belichick had more to do with
everything than everybody thought. When Tom Brady
left and he went and won a Super Bowl in Tampa,
everybody crossed out Belichick's name. No, he
had a lot more to do with it than we thought,
obviously. Yeah, there was more to it than just
calling the plays. He was the guy that came in
and said, no, we shouldn't do that. Here's what
we need to do. Hey, how about look at this guy?
He was the guy. He was the, uh, the suggester.
I think they came in and make great suggestions
that they listened to. So I don't think he was
the GM obviously per se, but he was the counselor.
He was the guy that they went there and, um,
and asked it. They ran it through him. The filters.
Yeah. Yeah. And so evidently, uh, after both
left, They have nothing. Yeah, it's kind of a
shell of what it used to be, and they weren't
really prepared to replace everything that those
two gave them. Which surprises me because it
was coming for years. Well, that tells you the
attitude of their owner, who figured, we're wonderful,
we're great, we're perfect, we'll just coast
along, no problem, we'll replace Brady, we'll
replace Belichick, we're the Patriots. Kraft
is too busy getting rub and tuck somewhere. Robert
Kraft, the human trafficker. Yes. No, no, actually,
this one is. I know, I know, I'm joking right
now. Yeah, this one's not a legend. He was actually
convicted. Yeah, he was convicted. He was convicted,
and the NFL League office said, eh, he's too
important to us. He makes us too much money.
We're just going to forget it. Yeah, we're going
to sweep it under the rug. He got absolutely
zero penalty or punishment for the league. They
just said, don't worry about it, dude. I say
that sarcastically. Allegedly. Allegedly. Because
we're in such a litigious society that you have
to say that on everything. Yes. But if they ask,
we're talking about somebody else. Just happen
to have the same day. Yeah, that's right. And
that's something that people don't realize. And
then, like I always said, if you really want
to say something, don't say it. But you say it
with so much force that you are saying it. Yep.
It's just like Aaron Rodgers and Devontae Adams
did not have any type of a sexual relationship
at all. Never, never, never, never. All those
accusations of the Eagles head coach raping children,
they haven't been proven yet. No. Which is technically
true. Was there accusations or not? No. Oh, okay.
I was like thinking, did I miss something? Okay.
You're illustrating. I got what you did. Okay.
Want to hear some news about Deshaun Watson?
Yes. While we're there, we might as well. Might
as well. We'll talk about Tucker. We'll talk
about Watson. He's been hanging out at Cleveland's
activities and OTAs and things. There was like
a strength... deal for the quarterbacks recently,
and he was there watching, pulled a hoodie over
his face so nobody could really see it was him.
But they say he has been in the building in a
walking boot throwing passes to receivers so
they could practice. And apparently the Browns
are happy to have him. Now his status is he's
going to start the season on the pup list, which
is physically unable to perform. which means
he's going to have probably five to six weeks
that he has to be out, and then he'll have like
a five - or six -week window where they can activate
him or he'll have to stay on the list the whole
season. How many years does he have left on his
contract? Two, I think. Okay. But they're saying
late November, early December, he could be activated
and get out on the field. Well, I suppose they
have nothing to lose. Yeah, because what I'm
hearing is Shador Sanders is looking like third
string so far in camp. Now, maybe he's going
to go out there and set the world on fire in
the preseason games because there are plenty
of players who are lousy in practice but great
on game day, like Derek Thomas. He was crap in
practice. Oh, God, yeah, he would never practice
a lot of times. Yeah, but they knew on game day
he was going to be all there. He'd show up hungover
the day of the game. He still had a great game,
though. He was that much of an athlete to where
it didn't matter. I'm still rooting for Shadur
Sanders to do something spectacular in this league.
Yeah, me too. I would love to see this. So far,
he's not showing any signs of it. No, and another
thing is his speeding ticket. It wasn't a fact
that he was speeding, and a couple of times,
here's what it is, his reaction to it. Yeah.
Your reaction to it is everything. You just got
to be like, you know, man, I made some boneheaded
moves. I'm trying to get better. I'm a work in
progress. I'm sorry. No, no humility, no humbleness
at all. Yeah, he's surprised that it's such a
big deal. Yeah, he should have been like, I'm
sorry, everybody. I let you down. I'm going to
try to be a better person. Yeah, it was really
a bad look for him. And I'm hoping that his dad...
Talked to him in private and said, this isn't
the way you do it. I don't think his dad has
any influence on him at all. I really don't.
I really don't. I think he's doing stupid shit
and that's just the way it is. Anyhow, you got
anything? Let's see. Oh, remember a Bears cornerback
named Charles Tillman? Yes, yeah. I think he
played for about 10 years or so. He is now an
FBI agent. Really? Yeah. And not Pat Tillman,
if people are thinking of him. No, Pat Tillman
is deceased. Yeah, he played for Arizona and
joined the military to go fight Afghanistan.
He was an Army Ranger and died in friendly fire,
which they covered up for a long time. They covered
up for years, said, oh, no, it was the enemy.
No, it was us. Yeah. Sad story. Yeah, thank you,
military, for lying to us. Yeah. Anyway, Charles
Tillman, cornerback. When he retired, he enrolled
in the FBI training program at Quantico. I thought
that was just the CIA, but I think that's somewhere
else. That's a good point. But anyway, he's now
a full -fledged FBI agent. And in fact, he was
recently part of a raid on the home of Chicago
rapper Lil Reese, who was very surprised to see
ex -football player Charles Tillman with a badge
and a gun. Charles Tillman, what are you doing
here? Well, you know, I had to do something after
football. Well, his dad was apparently a real
law and order guy. And like, by the way, if you
have any cocaine, flush it. Or get ready to go
for your bedroom. I understand that's where you
keep the cocaine at. Go ahead and flush it. Anyhow,
go ahead. And I want those signed picture discs.
Oh, yes. Yeah, put them on my doorstep. Well,
the last thing I got for football is ESPN's list
of the top 10 teams that had the best offseason.
Oh, okay. So we'll start with number 10. And
they said it was Cleveland. They added D -tackle
Mason Graham, running back Quinshawn Judkins,
quarterbacks Dylan Gabriel and Shadur Sanders.
So that gave him enough juice to be 10 on the
list. Okay, I can kind of get that. And also
Shador Sanders, with his physical ability, if
they could get him to catch fire, they might
be on to something. Because he's still an unknown
at this point. He could do something. Everything
is right now. He has got to apply himself and
take it seriously. If he does that, he could
be a top -notch quarterback. Because he has the
ability of Mahomes. But that mind isn't there.
There's that new breed of quarterback that came
out. They grew up playing Madden football on
the Xbox. And they grew up using absolutely every
feature of the most advanced setting and learning
it all. And the quarterbacks who come in and
just rely on raw talent to make it through, they're
going to get blown out of the water right away.
Yes. And if Shadur Sanders, I don't know, but
if he is thinking that his natural ability and
his last name are going to be good enough, no,
they're not. I'll put it like this. Let's take
Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, even
Jalen Hurts to an extent, and put them all together
in all the highlight reels that you have. That
is what the quarterbacks today are looking at.
They're not looking at Lenny Dawson scrambling
a couple of feet here and there and throwing
a bullet to somebody like Thomas or somebody.
Not Emmitt Thomas, was it? Anyhow, it doesn't
matter. So that's not what they're looking at.
Emmitt Smith. Emmitt Smith, yeah, thank you.
There wasn't Emmitt Thomas. Yeah, yeah, that's
right. Okay, Emmitt Smith and all them. So that's
what they're looking at. They're not looking
at the old -fashioned quarterback in the pocket.
And it's a telling thing that prior to the draft,
when Shador Sanders was doing all the wrong things
and hurting his draft status, despite... Deion
Sanders' popularity, nobody reached out to him
and said, hey, your kid is hurting himself. You
need to have a talk with him or he's going to
slide down the draft. Nobody told him that because
they don't think enough of his kid to bother
doing that. Well, another problem is when he
became his kid's agent. Yeah, then he was the
enemy. Yeah, he was the enemy. He wasn't a guy
you go, hey, Deion, could you come here for a
second? Yeah. I kind of saw your kid, you know,
maybe you need to get a little talk with him
or something. They're not doing that now. They're
like, no, let him keep fucking up. I can get
this guy on the cheap, and then maybe we can
process him into something good. Yeah. So, yeah,
he should have never became his agent, in my
opinion. Yeah, I think it would have gone a little
better for him if he hadn't. I think so, too.
But, anyhow, that's neither here nor there. All
right. Well, number nine on the improved list
is Philadelphia Eagles. They've added linebacker
Josh Uche. who I think was with the Chiefs last
year. Yeah, he was. Linebacker Aziz Ojulari,
cornerback Adore Jackson, and they drafted pass
rusher Jihad Holy War Campbell. Oh, yeah. And
safety Andrew Makuba and interior D lineman Ty
Robinson. Otis Taylor is the guy I was trying
to think of. Yes. Okay. Anyhow, how I got Emmitt
Thomas from that, I don't know. There was an
Emlin Tunnel as well. Yeah, okay. There's all
sorts of interesting names. There is. So I agree
Philadelphia has added a lot of good players.
And Saquon Barkley is awesome. I mean, they added
a boatload on defense. That's all this is, is
defensive players. Well, that's intelligent because
they lost quite a bit on defense. Yeah, they
did. Eight on the list is Indianapolis. Now,
some of these teams made the list because they
had a long way to improve and they made a big
step. Yeah, that's kind of what I thought. When
you're at zero and you get to ten, that's a big
step. So they added quarterback Daniel Jones.
Okay. Tight end Tyler Warren. Cornerback Charverius
Ward, who used to be a chief. Yeah, you know
what? I mean, that guy has ability. He's not
always consistent, but he has ability. And they
added safety Cameron Bynum. So two on offense,
two on defense. Okay. And, you know, Daniel Jones,
me, I don't know if they're going to get a lot
out of him in Indy, but he probably won't lose
too many games. No. And Indy's quarterback who
said, no, it was that 49ers player who refused
to go back in in a game last season because it
was a losing effort and he knew there was no
point. He said the other days, like, I was mentally
exhausted and pretty much out of it, and I wouldn't
have said that on a normal day. But I was so
exhausted and my brain wasn't working right.
Is that a championship attitude, though? No.
No. You don't make excuses. You say, all right,
I screwed up. I'll do better next time. That's
all you've got to say. He's a problem to me,
but whatever. Here's one that's kind of scary.
Number seven on the list of improved teams, Buffalo.
Buffalo. We don't need Buffalo to improve. No,
I know. They're hard enough already. Well, you've
got to look at it. From their perspective. Yeah.
Yeah. Every year, you have one team that you
lose to, and you can never make it to the promised
land. So what can you do? Well, here's what they
did. They added wide receivers Josh Palmer and
Elijah Moore. They added D -end Joey Bosa. Oh.
Defensile end Michael Hecht from the CFL. D -tackle
Larry Ogunjobi. Both of those two, Pecht and
Ogunjovi, are suspended for the first six games.
Okay. They didn't say why. Okay. They've also
added D -tackled TJ Sanders, D -end Landon Jackson,
and D -tackled Dion Walker. Lots of defense.
Well, if you ask me, they had a better draft
than most of them, except maybe Philadelphia.
Yeah. Well, some of this is draft, some of this
is free agent. Oh, okay, okay. But... Mahomes
is going to have probably at least three -quarters
of a second less in the pocket with all those
people coming at him this year. That's going
to be interesting. Well, that's the problem when
you're at the top, man. I mean, look at our division
alone, but go ahead. Next on the list, we have
Carolina. They have a long ways to go. They added
D -tackle Bobby Brown III. I love the name Bobby
Brown. Yeah, let's get ready to say. Because
there's that Bobby Brown that was beating up
on Whitney Houston's daughter. There's the Bobby
Brown that was the hot model that was in the
Cherry Pie video for Warren. That says that Paul
Stanley is a creep. Yeah. Yeah. And there's the
Bobby Brown that is the Frank Zappa song. Oh,
yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Which is filthy and profane,
and I highly suggest you go listen to it. Yeah.
Bobby Brown by Frank Zappa. Wow. And he wasn't
talking about the groupie because she was much
later. Yes. Carolina also added D .N. to Tershawn
Wharton. Oh, yeah, good one. Linebacker Patrick
Jones II, and they drafted in the first round
wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan. That's pretty
awesome. You have a name like Tetairoa and a
last name McMillan. That's awesome. That's just
awesome. How does that happen? It's like a Hawaiian
first name and an Irish last name. Yeah, that's
what I was going to say. Okay. Well, that's cool.
Whatever. For all we knew, they just made the
whole thing up. But, hey, do that too. It's your
name. Irish Hawaiian. Wow. Yeah. It's funny when
you think of it. Your name is the noise people
make to get your attention. True. So why shouldn't
you get to choose it yourself? Imagine you had
a large man with a horrible temper. And drinks
a lot. This is all just because of the stereotypes.
Just joking. Don't want anyone offended. Well,
you know what? No, this is our podcast. I don't
care if you're offended. Yeah, we get to offend.
Yeah, yes. All right, next up on the list, Washington
Commanders. They have added left tackle Laramie
Tunsell. Who's good, but he's injury prone. Yeah.
That's why the Chiefs passed on him. Yes. And
they added wide receiver Debo Samuel, who used
to be, what, a 49er? Yeah, he was on his – he's
lukewarm now, Debo. But it makes sense for Washington.
It does for Washington because you have – Someone
for Jayden Daniels to throw to. Yeah, you have
another target, and also you have something that
they have to concentrate on. Yeah. If Debo's
healthy, you have to acknowledge him being in
the lineup. You've got to put one and maybe one
and three -quarters people on. You don't have
to necessarily double -team them. You've got
to have somebody nearby. Yeah. Next up, and this
is also scary, number four on the list of teams
with great off -seasons, Denver. Oops. Yeah.
They added tight end Evan Ingram. There you go.
And something I've noticed with the Chiefs historically
is the Chiefs have trouble defending other teams'
tight ends. Yes. for some reason, even though
we've got great ones. They're wide open in the
middle so much. We've had Tony Gonzalez. We have
Jason, Travis Kelsey. We've had good tight ends.
We think we know how they work, but eh. They
also added running back J .K. Dobbins, running
back R .J. Harvey, safety Talanoa Hufanga, and
linebacker Dre Greenlaw. I remember Dre Greenlaw
from last year, and I remember seeing his name
in on a lot of tackles. Was he a free agent?
Yeah, these were all free agents they seemed
to have added. They didn't list anyone that Denver
drafted. Oh, okay. They had a better free agency
to draft. That's why they had free agencies,
because their drafting does so well. Okay, number
three, Minnesota. They've added center Ryan Kelly.
Okay. Offensive guard Will Fries. Freeze Fries.
Freeze. F -R -I -E -S. And they have first round
draft pick offensive guard J .J. McCarthy. So
they have a new center and two new guards. That
interior line is going to be much better. Well,
it shows you that they're not really convinced
of the quarterback still. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Number
two on the most improved list, New England Patriots.
They added offensive tackle Morgan Moses. Okay.
They added cornerback Carlton Davis. Okay. Linebacker
Harold Landry. Okay. Drafted offensive tackle
Will Campbell. Running back Travion Henderson.
And wide receiver Kyle Williams. That's a good
chunk of talent. That's a good chunk of talent.
Now if their front office can do the right thing
and handle them, that will be a big deal. That's
going to be the question. That will be the question.
I'm going to move this a little closer to you
here. Okay. And then number one on the list of
teams with the most improved offseason, Chicago
Bears. Wow. They have a new head coach, Ben Johnson,
who was the offensive coordinator for the Lions.
So that gives them a double whammy edge on the
Lions now. They added offensive guard Joe Tooney.
Whom we lost. Yes, we traded. Center, Drew Dahlman.
Offensive guard, Jonah Jackson. Defensive tackle,
Grady Jarrett. Defensive end, Dayo Odeyingbo.
Odeyingbo. Yeah. Okay. And they drafted wide
receiver Luther Burden III. Uh -huh. Tied in
Colston Loveland. Uh -huh. But here's the red
flag. Chicago was number one on the list last
year, too. Well, I've never believed these things.
Number one, I mean, a lot of the players that
they had, sometimes they don't work in the new
system. Some of those get cut during training
camp. Yeah, and if you see the really good teams,
they don't jump on these players that are going
to be overpriced anyhow. What they do is they
find the diamond in the rough. Look at the Chiefs.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Too many teams look for that
person who's going to be the new feature. You
should already have the feature. You should look
for support for the feature. That's why it always
got me about people going, Brett Beach needs
to go for this wide receiver. And it's like,
well, how much money does he cost? They should
get Tyreek Hill back. How much money will he
cost? Yeah, we got two or three receivers for
what we would have had to pay Hill. Yeah, and
they're going to be much better, too, probably.
I mean, it would. I mean, if you go by what they
did and if they're healthy, they're going to.
Yeah. I mean, Rasheed Rice has got the ability
to be a 1 ,400 -yard receiver easily. Oh, man,
I would love to see that. He could lead the league.
I would like to see somehow his legal troubles
get resolved with minimal playing time lost.
He's not going to be suspended this year. They
already said that. Yeah. So if he does get suspended,
my experience is with the NFL is the longer they
wait, the less they have a chance of getting
suspended. Because they're letting him uncool
off. Yes. Yeah. Yep. That's an interesting point.
Yeah. Really good one. I got some bullet points.
Excellent. Okay. We already answered Aaron Rodgers'
one. Yep. Does Aaron Rodgers have enough targets
to throw to? No, not enough. No, not to be successful
like we know him. I think, in my opinion, you
need to have three respected targets on field
at all times. Two receivers and a tight end,
two receivers and a running back, a receiver,
a tight end, and a running back. Somehow you've
got to have at least three. With Mike Tomlin,
he seems to like to have that running back that
you can always ditch off to. Yeah. Sometimes
they use the tight end as the dumbbell. Yes.
Yeah. Something I love to do in video football
games is send the running back on a fly route.
Yes. Because nobody expects it. No, I know. And
it works for real in the NFL, too. It does. It
does. You're thinking they're in there to block.
Yep. And it just doesn't work like that. All
of a sudden, they're right in. They just straight
downfield, and the tight end comes back to block,
and then he swings out to be your dump -off guy.
And the secondary's like, what the hell? P. Ryan
was so good at that. P. Ryan was a good one,
yes. Oh, yeah. Okay, do you think the chance...
to properly address their offensive line problems?
I don't think they're done. The moves they've
made I like, but they're not done yet. I'll tell
you what, at the end of these mini camps coming
up in July, if they make a move, they're not
convinced. And I think they're going to make
a move not just because they're not convinced,
but because of injuries. And it'll be another
even worse red flag if the... after the final
cut down first game of the season if they pick
somebody up off free agency. That means they're
really not convinced. Yeah, so we're going to
see what happens. And also, if you pick up a
free agent, that free agent's going to have to
come in wanting to win because he's going to
take less money to come. And he's going to have
to start from scratch and not do a damn thing.
Yes. Yeah, that shows a little bit of panic if
they do that. Yeah. Is the formula for beating
the Chiefs pretty much out there with the O -line?
Yeah, I think so. You don't worry so much about
covering the receivers for the Chiefs as you
disrupt Mahomes' timing. It's actually a very
primitive way of playing football, and it's been
done since the dawn of football. Harass the quarterback.
Marty Schottenheimer was so good at it. Harass
the quarterback. Get in there. Get in his face.
Don't give him a minute to rest, not a minute
to gather his thoughts. Just keep him out of
his game. Yeah, the whole problem with that is
the quick -release quarterback, which Mahomes
needs to do more of. I think so. He used to.
He's got to scramblin'. Yeah. Get rid of the
ball, whether it's throwing the ball away or
ditching it to somebody or spiking it on the
ground, throwing it over someone's head. At least
that way you're having the thought is we better
stay back because he's going to throw. And some
good ways to beat the blitz also are screen passes
because that's where you let the pass rush come
at you and the last second you dump it off to
the running back or the right to see that. So
all plays are good. Outside runs where the quarterback
gets the ball and just pitches it. Yes. Like
10 yards out to the end. And you can even throw
it to a wide receiver and it counts as a pass.
But just immediately get the ball outside of
the box. Yeah. And everybody that they've got
committed to rushing the quarterback is now out
of the play. Yes. Completely out of the play.
So, yeah. It's a coughing kind of day. There's
an allergy in the air somewhere that's getting
us. Plus, with all the rain we got recently,
the sewers have kind of backed up a little bit.
There's a stink going on. Yeah. Will the Chiefs
get dethroned from the division championship
this year? I don't think this year. It's a strong
possibility this year, but I'm going to go no.
If somebody was, it's absolutely going to be
Denver. I think Denver is the next person to
step up. Bo Nix has to build on what he did last
year. So I think Bo Nix is very capable. So if
he can continue his body of work that he's doing,
they're going to be fine. I'm going to try to
watch some Denver games just so I can see Bo
Nix. They're a fun team to watch. They are, unless
you're playing against them. Well, yeah, yeah.
I want us to beat the hell out of them every
year, but, you know. Who will lead the NFL in
passing yards this year? Oh, gosh. You know,
it's tempting to say, like, Mahomes or Josh Allen
or something, but chances are it's going to be
a team that's struggling. I'm going to say Jaden
Daniels. Yeah, I think Jaden Daniels is going
to throw a crap ton. I do too. Especially if
they get behind and they're coming back, you
know. I think that's going to happen because
of their schedule. That was the thing with 300
-yard passing games for quarterbacks are generally
games where they're behind and trying to come
back. Absolutely. Because you don't throw that
much if you're in control. Whenever you see 400
yards, usually you see an L next to it. Who will
the Chiefs' leading rusher be this season? I'm
going to say Mitchell. Yeah, I'm going to say
Mitchell, the new guy. I think he's going to
stay healthy. Yeah. And he'll probably have about
1 ,300 yards. Hunt will probably have 1 ,000
or just a little bit under. Pacheco will probably
get about five. Yeah. I just don't see Pacheco
staying healthy unless he changes his running
style like you said. I'd be okay with Pacheco
getting about 500 yards rushing and about 500
yards receiving. I would too, yes. I think that's
the way you use him. Yeah. Use him like P. Ryan
kind of too. Yeah. He's going to dive bomb by
a bird. I agree. And, okay, we'll be over 1 ,000
yards. I think Mitchell will be over 1 ,000 yards.
However much, I'm not sure. I'm going to go with
12, not 13. That sounds good. Who will lead in
tackles this season for the Chiefs? I think it's
going to be a linebacker. i do too um um yeah
who do we have besides bolton we have chanel
chanel i think chanel has got a good chance just
because of um You have the defensive ends rushing
out of the pocket, and I couldn't see a linebacker.
Well, if you look at last year, too, linebackers
were always there. They get rushed out of the
pocket by Jones or Karloftis or somebody. They
don't necessarily get them, but they steer them
into the linebackers. So I look for that to continue
because it's successful. I remember in the bad
days of the losing Chiefs, you'd look at the
stats. after a Sunday game, and the leading tacklers
were always in the secondary. Yes. Because the
other team was getting a first down pretty much
every play. It's not so good. No. What about
sacks? Karloftis, I think, is going to get the
most sacks this year. I agree. And he's got a
contract year coming up. Yes. And also, he is
just, every year he's building. He's getting
better, yeah. I see Karloftis getting close to
20 this year. I think so, too. Will Russell Wilson
get a Taco Bell in his house like Devontae Adams?
Yes. I think so, too. And maybe a Domino's Pizza.
Yes. I'd rather have a Domino's Pizza anyhow
than a Taco Bell. So, all right, how long have
we got on this one? We've got about an hour.
Okay, you want to go ahead and cut this off and
then go into music creaks, or do you want to
keep going? Yeah, let's go ahead and give it
a chop. Okay, all right. Everybody, thank you
for listening. Go fuck yourself.
