WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.980
Well, since the sports show can't be called two

00:00:02.980 --> 00:00:06.540
douchebags with a microphone, maybe we could

00:00:06.540 --> 00:00:13.759
just call them the sports bastards. Let's go

00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:15.539
in and see how the levels are. Let's see how

00:00:15.539 --> 00:00:17.980
nasty and weird the levels get. Okay. And I'm

00:00:17.980 --> 00:00:21.420
going to get myself more imposition. Okay. And

00:00:21.420 --> 00:00:23.519
I think we can turn this up just a hair. Okay.

00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:26.300
We're the sports bastards, but we're figuring

00:00:26.300 --> 00:00:29.379
some shit out. So we're still the sports bastards.

00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:32.600
It's just we're not quite being sports bastards.

00:00:32.740 --> 00:00:35.640
Yeah. I brought down the headphone gain a little

00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:37.539
bit so we're not blowing our own ears out. Of

00:00:37.539 --> 00:00:39.700
course, we're going to blow your ears out. We

00:00:39.700 --> 00:00:42.420
don't care about that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You

00:00:42.420 --> 00:00:44.700
guys have clearly demonstrated you don't care

00:00:44.700 --> 00:00:46.600
about quality. You're listening to this shit.

00:00:47.100 --> 00:00:54.130
That's exactly right. Anyhow, any takeaways from

00:00:54.130 --> 00:00:57.289
the preseason game? Mahomes is one for one. I

00:00:57.289 --> 00:00:58.990
got one takeaway, and that's about it. Well,

00:00:59.109 --> 00:01:01.590
Josh Simmons played good. Yeah, yeah. That was

00:01:01.590 --> 00:01:04.030
pretty awesome. At one point, Mahomes was one

00:01:04.030 --> 00:01:06.390
pass for one completion for one yard and one

00:01:06.390 --> 00:01:09.750
touchdown. Yes. That's what I love. But the thing

00:01:09.750 --> 00:01:11.450
that I loved about it was the pass he threw.

00:01:12.109 --> 00:01:15.170
Yeah. The pass he threw was incatchable for anybody

00:01:15.170 --> 00:01:17.950
but the receiver. Yes, yes. I remember you mentioned

00:01:17.950 --> 00:01:20.090
that at the time. Look where he placed that ball.

00:01:20.329 --> 00:01:22.430
It was perfect. No one was getting it except

00:01:22.430 --> 00:01:25.629
the intended target, and that's Mahomes' brain

00:01:25.629 --> 00:01:28.450
at work there. Yes, and it was just preseason,

00:01:28.530 --> 00:01:31.230
but he was doing things the way they needed to

00:01:31.230 --> 00:01:33.969
be. Yeah, yeah. And that's what makes him above

00:01:33.969 --> 00:01:36.790
everyone else. That's how come Tom Brady can't

00:01:36.790 --> 00:01:39.090
quit raving about him. Yeah. Tom Brady sees things

00:01:39.090 --> 00:01:40.750
like that, and he's like, you know, this guy

00:01:40.750 --> 00:01:43.599
is just. There's all these opportunities to show

00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:46.599
how he gets it, whereas a lot of players are

00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:48.400
like, oh, well, he kind of missed that, but you

00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:50.599
can't be on it. No, Mahomes is on the ball all

00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:52.799
the time. All the time, yes. Well, I guess my

00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:55.799
one big takeaway would be that the Chiefs really

00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:57.879
didn't show much, but that's kind of what they

00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:00.060
did. They never do. I mean, that's Andy Reid

00:02:00.060 --> 00:02:03.019
right there, classic. So they played well. They

00:02:03.019 --> 00:02:04.939
played efficiently. There weren't a whole lot

00:02:04.939 --> 00:02:07.140
of screw -ups. That's all I really cared about.

00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:10.139
Oh, yeah. You know, and Andy Reid is traditionally,

00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:12.379
even during the season, you don't even see what

00:02:12.379 --> 00:02:15.159
they're capable of doing. He is such a deceptionist.

00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:17.500
It's insane. I'm sure he's got a whole list of

00:02:17.500 --> 00:02:19.560
plays for the second half of the season only.

00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:23.139
Or, we're not going to do this until after we've

00:02:23.139 --> 00:02:24.960
already played Denver once. He's going to do

00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:27.620
just enough. That kind of thing. No, I agree.

00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:30.840
Because he's kind of like this, and people don't

00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:32.759
realize. They go, oh, only one by one point.

00:02:33.219 --> 00:02:35.819
That's all you need to win. And Reid knows that.

00:02:38.770 --> 00:02:41.210
Oh, shit, they're already shutting us down. Yeah,

00:02:41.289 --> 00:02:44.270
it's that scam likely guy. Oh, that fucking bastard.

00:02:44.650 --> 00:02:48.110
No, let's see. In 1972, the Dolphins went with

00:02:48.110 --> 00:02:52.590
a perfect season. Undefeated in the regular season,

00:02:52.729 --> 00:02:54.849
all the wins in the playoffs and the Super Bowl.

00:02:55.090 --> 00:02:58.909
I have no idea what the point margin was in any

00:02:58.909 --> 00:03:00.650
of those games. And nobody cared. Nobody cares.

00:03:01.259 --> 00:03:03.740
It doesn't matter. Yeah. Yeah. And they lost

00:03:03.740 --> 00:03:05.539
all their preseason games that year, but that

00:03:05.539 --> 00:03:10.080
didn't matter either, did it? No. No. So, yeah,

00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:12.759
you've got to think, okay, what's important and

00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:15.340
what do the bookies want us to think about? Yes.

00:03:15.340 --> 00:03:19.340
Yeah. Yeah. And also, people tend to get carried

00:03:19.340 --> 00:03:21.560
away with stuff, too. Yeah. Like, well, we just

00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:25.479
barely won that one. Okay? That's like saying

00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:31.169
you're sort of dead. Yes. A win, as long as I've

00:03:31.169 --> 00:03:33.909
checked, is still a W, which still counts in

00:03:33.909 --> 00:03:37.030
the W column, which still counts in the division,

00:03:37.210 --> 00:03:40.550
which still counts in the conference, which still

00:03:40.550 --> 00:03:43.689
counts in the Super Bowl. So I'm going to go

00:03:43.689 --> 00:03:45.750
ahead and just go with that. Yeah, the weird

00:03:45.750 --> 00:03:48.569
thing about that opening weekend of preseason

00:03:48.569 --> 00:03:52.400
games. There were three tie games. Yes, I thought

00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:55.080
that was interesting. It's unusual. Thank God

00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:57.639
they've done away with overtime in preseason,

00:03:57.699 --> 00:03:59.719
because that was just stupid. It was ridiculous.

00:04:00.500 --> 00:04:05.639
And also, does it also indicate more of a parity

00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:10.780
even than before, maybe? I think so, and I think

00:04:10.780 --> 00:04:15.509
teams are... less likely to try to win these

00:04:15.509 --> 00:04:18.129
games, even if they had a stinko season last

00:04:18.129 --> 00:04:20.189
year. That used to be the thing. It was, oh,

00:04:20.209 --> 00:04:21.670
well, let's get out there and get our players

00:04:21.670 --> 00:04:24.389
used to winning. Let's win these preseason. Those

00:04:24.389 --> 00:04:26.470
are for teams that won in 15 last year. They're

00:04:26.470 --> 00:04:28.610
the ones doing that. And even then, they usually

00:04:28.610 --> 00:04:30.730
don't do that anymore. Everyone's gotten smarter.

00:04:30.990 --> 00:04:32.990
The fans have gotten a little more savvy. It's

00:04:32.990 --> 00:04:35.449
like, it's preseason. We don't care. Just show

00:04:35.449 --> 00:04:36.970
us that you're on the ball and you've got it

00:04:36.970 --> 00:04:38.829
figured out. If your team's good, they're going

00:04:38.829 --> 00:04:43.220
to win. That's it. Win when it counts. Yes. So

00:04:43.220 --> 00:04:46.579
it was fun to see football again. Oh, I agree.

00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:49.579
I agree. Have some bullet points or you got something

00:04:49.579 --> 00:04:51.579
you want to go into? I was just going to say

00:04:51.579 --> 00:04:54.199
it's really sad to see Deion Bush out for the

00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:57.500
season. Yes. Oh, that was a gut punch. Yeah.

00:04:57.870 --> 00:05:00.509
Yeah. What's his fourth, fifth year in the league?

00:05:00.750 --> 00:05:04.250
Fifth year, I think. And he does a lot on special

00:05:04.250 --> 00:05:06.029
teams. We're going to miss him on special teams

00:05:06.029 --> 00:05:10.110
as well as in the backfield. Yeah. Achilles,

00:05:10.250 --> 00:05:12.449
another Achilles injury. They're all over the

00:05:12.449 --> 00:05:15.029
place this season. Well, we have stretched the

00:05:15.029 --> 00:05:17.930
season another game. True. And they're going

00:05:17.930 --> 00:05:21.089
to stretch it another game. So I don't know if

00:05:21.089 --> 00:05:24.389
it's that or not. I don't know. Yeah. We'll see.

00:05:24.569 --> 00:05:27.069
Everything tends to balance out eventually. Yeah.

00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:32.000
Yeah, so I got some bullet points in if you want

00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:33.920
to go into some of them. Yes, please. All right.

00:05:34.620 --> 00:05:37.600
The Chiefs have seven stand -alone primetime

00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:41.300
games, including the season starter in Brazil

00:05:41.300 --> 00:05:45.360
on Friday, September 5th on YouTube. Is that

00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:48.860
too many? I think it is. I think so, too. I mean,

00:05:48.939 --> 00:05:52.160
for several reasons. One is overexposure of the

00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:55.779
Chiefs brand, again. Yes. Two, just from a personal

00:05:55.779 --> 00:05:58.639
standpoint, that's seven times I'm going to have

00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:01.160
to stay up late to watch the game if I want to

00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:05.019
see it live. And it's easier for me because I'm

00:06:05.019 --> 00:06:07.259
retired, but a lot of people work and they're

00:06:07.259 --> 00:06:09.660
going to feel like crap in the morning. So it's

00:06:09.660 --> 00:06:12.519
just three or four a season is plenty, I think.

00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:15.879
I remember I just got pissed every time I'd see

00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:18.420
Dallas on Monday night or Sunday night football

00:06:18.420 --> 00:06:21.839
six times during the season. There are other

00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:24.699
teams I want to see, man. If you don't live in

00:06:24.699 --> 00:06:26.899
Kansas City or from Kansas City and have some

00:06:26.899 --> 00:06:29.259
sort of vested interest in the Chiefs, you probably

00:06:29.259 --> 00:06:31.660
hate them. Yeah, yeah. And they're going to start

00:06:31.660 --> 00:06:33.779
paying the price in ratings, and then they'll

00:06:33.779 --> 00:06:37.060
fix it. But for right now, it's what they're

00:06:37.060 --> 00:06:38.579
doing. Well, they're trying to fix it with a

00:06:38.579 --> 00:06:44.040
schedule. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, you know, take heart,

00:06:44.139 --> 00:06:45.879
everyone. The Chiefs might get flexed out of

00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:48.199
some of those games. Yeah, they might. They might.

00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:53.620
Yeah. And my hope is that they do just because

00:06:53.620 --> 00:06:55.759
it doesn't matter to us. We're going to see the

00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:58.579
game either way. Yeah, yeah. And the reason is

00:06:58.579 --> 00:07:00.980
because I do think an overexposure is a problem

00:07:00.980 --> 00:07:03.120
with them right now. Yeah. I had people that

00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:05.939
I knew that were just all just giddy about Mahomes

00:07:05.939 --> 00:07:08.579
before, and they loved Kelsey and the story and

00:07:08.579 --> 00:07:12.100
all that and everything. And now they're like,

00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:15.680
they don't like him. Yeah, yeah. Even Travis

00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:19.120
Kelsey is saying publicly now that all of his,

00:07:19.689 --> 00:07:22.569
extra activities last season affected his on

00:07:22.569 --> 00:07:26.949
the field play and no shit yeah he's you know

00:07:26.949 --> 00:07:28.930
we all knew that but it's nice that he's admitting

00:07:28.930 --> 00:07:30.829
it publicly and he said yeah this won't be that

00:07:30.829 --> 00:07:33.990
won't be a problem anymore that's good so and

00:07:33.990 --> 00:07:36.290
that was another thing about having seven prime

00:07:36.290 --> 00:07:39.750
time standalone games is a lot of the players

00:07:39.750 --> 00:07:41.629
are going to enjoy being in the spotlight so

00:07:41.629 --> 00:07:45.730
much that it can be a distraction from what you're

00:07:45.730 --> 00:07:47.769
supposed to be doing on the field oh i agree

00:07:50.779 --> 00:07:52.639
Well, time's going to tell on that one. We'll

00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:55.560
see. I mean, has the game got away from him in

00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:57.519
that time that he wasn't so concerned about it?

00:07:58.540 --> 00:08:00.759
I don't think so. I don't think so. I don't either,

00:08:00.980 --> 00:08:03.560
but, you know, we'll see. Time will tell. Yeah.

00:08:04.139 --> 00:08:06.639
I think that a good season for him will be right

00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:08.819
at about 1 ,000 yards. If he does that, I think

00:08:08.819 --> 00:08:10.519
that would be a great benchmark for him to go

00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:13.939
ahead and say adios, thank you. Whoa, time to

00:08:13.939 --> 00:08:15.680
put the condom on the microphone. That's a lot

00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:19.319
of wind noise. Yeah, it is. We're practicing

00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:22.579
safe podcasting now. All right. Yeah, what do

00:08:22.579 --> 00:08:24.480
you think touchdowns for Kelsey this season?

00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:29.500
In 17 games, I'd be happy with 12. I'm going

00:08:29.500 --> 00:08:35.379
to say, yeah, yeah, 12. One a game would be pushing

00:08:35.379 --> 00:08:37.399
it. Well, I mean, last year, didn't he have a

00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:39.200
game, was it against the Raiders, where he had

00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:41.399
three yards and, like, four touchdowns or something?

00:08:41.870 --> 00:08:44.129
Yeah, that's true. That's true, yeah. Or was

00:08:44.129 --> 00:08:46.330
that the year before? There was a game where,

00:08:46.370 --> 00:08:48.389
yeah, there was like several one -yard touchdown

00:08:48.389 --> 00:08:51.409
passes. Yeah. Well, I look for some of those

00:08:51.409 --> 00:08:54.669
again. Yeah, yeah. Because he has that ability

00:08:54.669 --> 00:08:56.809
of his size and his arm length and everything

00:08:56.809 --> 00:08:58.889
to get open in tight spots. I imagine in some

00:08:58.889 --> 00:09:00.850
fantasy football leagues that would present a

00:09:00.850 --> 00:09:07.269
real problem. Yeah, probably. Yes. All right,

00:09:07.389 --> 00:09:11.070
who would be Mahomes' biggest rival? On the team

00:09:11.070 --> 00:09:14.440
or? No. Oh, okay. No, no, no. I was going to

00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:16.759
say Gardner Minshew looked pretty good, but that

00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:20.919
fourth guy, Olaida Kuhn, I remember in last year,

00:09:20.980 --> 00:09:23.720
he shows flashes. He shows some real flashes

00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:26.259
there. Yeah. Who was the third one that threw

00:09:26.259 --> 00:09:28.879
the interception? Bailey Zappi. Zappi, yeah.

00:09:29.259 --> 00:09:31.460
Yeah, he's not going to be there very long. Oh,

00:09:31.460 --> 00:09:33.720
yeah. When I saw that, it was like, who the heck

00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:38.059
were you throwing that to? I know. Biggest rival

00:09:38.059 --> 00:09:42.460
in the league right now? Yeah. I'm going to say

00:09:42.460 --> 00:09:49.539
Joe Burrow. I'm going to have to say Josh Allen.

00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:53.600
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But Joe Burrow, look, if they

00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:56.620
get it together, it will be Joe Burrow. But they

00:09:56.620 --> 00:09:58.840
have to get it together. And I think Joe Burrow

00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:04.980
is also much more likely to have a personal competition

00:10:04.980 --> 00:10:09.110
with Mahomes. The way Randy Rhodes had a personal

00:10:09.110 --> 00:10:13.450
competition with Eddie Van Halen. Him and Burrow

00:10:13.450 --> 00:10:15.690
may get along on the surface, but I do believe,

00:10:15.889 --> 00:10:18.429
just my own thought, by looking and watching,

00:10:18.490 --> 00:10:20.490
analyzing, and then you have people over there

00:10:20.490 --> 00:10:23.789
like, oh, Jamar Chase mouthing off and stuff

00:10:23.789 --> 00:10:25.269
like that. Well, you have a lot of them mouthing

00:10:25.269 --> 00:10:28.769
off. I think that dynamic right there won't allow

00:10:28.769 --> 00:10:31.809
them to actually be as close because Josh Allen

00:10:31.809 --> 00:10:36.480
and Patrick Mahomes are good friends. Yeah, yeah,

00:10:36.500 --> 00:10:38.159
I think that's a big difference there is Josh

00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:40.919
Allen will look at Mahomes and say, you know,

00:10:40.940 --> 00:10:43.899
that's all right. I can get better and I can

00:10:43.899 --> 00:10:46.600
be better than you and I can beat you. Joe Burrow,

00:10:46.620 --> 00:10:49.240
I think, looks at Mahomes and says, you're in

00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:52.000
my way. Yes, I agree. And that's not a knock

00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.539
on Joe Burrow. It seriously is not. It's just

00:10:54.539 --> 00:10:58.649
kind of a different attitude. And I think if

00:10:58.649 --> 00:11:00.929
Joe Burrow and Mahomes had actually become good

00:11:00.929 --> 00:11:02.710
friends, that he probably would have more of

00:11:02.710 --> 00:11:04.990
a Josh Allen attitude. I think so, too. Right

00:11:04.990 --> 00:11:07.669
now, I think it is actually probably in Burrow's

00:11:07.669 --> 00:11:11.389
best interest to not cozy up to Mahomes, to keep

00:11:11.389 --> 00:11:14.570
the rivalry going, and keep that distance, and

00:11:14.570 --> 00:11:17.529
look at him as, you're in my way, and I need

00:11:17.529 --> 00:11:19.870
to push you out of my way. And also, everybody,

00:11:20.149 --> 00:11:22.269
it's never been Burrow. Burrow's never come out

00:11:22.269 --> 00:11:24.629
and mouthed off about Mahomes, ever. He's been

00:11:24.629 --> 00:11:26.509
the perfect gentleman, and I like him personally

00:11:26.509 --> 00:11:29.440
really well. The thing is, is everyone around

00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:33.059
him has done that. And that's a team issue. That's

00:11:33.059 --> 00:11:35.220
not the players. I mean, because all the players

00:11:35.220 --> 00:11:37.799
feel the way those players have been saying.

00:11:37.899 --> 00:11:40.639
It's just usually they don't say it out loud.

00:11:40.899 --> 00:11:42.399
You don't express it. What you do is go, man,

00:11:42.500 --> 00:11:43.860
you've got to take your hats off to them, man.

00:11:43.860 --> 00:11:46.200
They came in and played their ass off. You know,

00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:50.440
like the late hit was three years ago now, the

00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:53.139
championship game. where you have their own people

00:11:53.139 --> 00:11:55.460
screaming at each other, don't come in this locker

00:11:55.460 --> 00:11:58.039
room, and stuff like that. It shows like there's

00:11:58.039 --> 00:11:59.960
a definite problem there, and that's how come

00:11:59.960 --> 00:12:01.700
I can't give Joe Burrow. It's not Joe Burrow.

00:12:02.259 --> 00:12:04.779
It's his team. Yeah, it's like last season, Joe

00:12:04.779 --> 00:12:07.340
Burrow was kind of the bright spot on that offense,

00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:09.139
wasn't he? And that was it. Yeah, that was it,

00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:12.600
really. He hasn't given up. He hasn't quit. No.

00:12:12.740 --> 00:12:15.740
No, he's going to be there. He's a gamer. He's

00:12:15.740 --> 00:12:19.019
a player. But Ty Hendrickson, I don't think he's

00:12:19.019 --> 00:12:21.990
signing, is he? Or has he? Has he signed? I don't

00:12:21.990 --> 00:12:23.669
think he has. I don't think Hendricks has. I

00:12:23.669 --> 00:12:27.710
saw a story popped up that tried to fool me into

00:12:27.710 --> 00:12:29.850
believing that he had signed with the Jaguars.

00:12:30.830 --> 00:12:36.149
Yeah, no. Which is weird. Clickbait. You're like,

00:12:36.210 --> 00:12:38.590
what? Yeah, and you had to look through until

00:12:38.590 --> 00:12:41.169
finally he said, oh, no, the Jaguars are looking

00:12:41.169 --> 00:12:45.629
for someone like him. Oh, okay. It's just like

00:12:45.629 --> 00:12:49.250
all the clickbait on Ozzy's grave. There's like

00:12:49.250 --> 00:12:53.529
30 of them now. Have you ever even seen the real

00:12:53.529 --> 00:12:56.370
one? Who knows? There's so many AI -generated

00:12:56.370 --> 00:12:59.710
grave sites of his. I'm already getting the clickbait

00:12:59.710 --> 00:13:03.889
of Andy Reid blows up and fires three players

00:13:03.889 --> 00:13:05.809
from the team immediately, and there's a quote,

00:13:05.929 --> 00:13:08.830
I'm not going to stand for this. And it turns

00:13:08.830 --> 00:13:10.629
out that there's one of those clickbaits for

00:13:10.629 --> 00:13:12.629
every stinking team in the league, and it's just

00:13:12.629 --> 00:13:15.549
garbage. So you've got to weed through that crap.

00:13:15.789 --> 00:13:20.559
Yep. All right, moving on. Is this the year Karloftis

00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:25.340
becomes the official superstar? I'm saying yes.

00:13:25.620 --> 00:13:28.259
You know, that's a good question. I could definitely

00:13:28.259 --> 00:13:30.580
see that happening. He's got the good contract.

00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:33.139
He's settled in. He's been steadily improving.

00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:35.940
Chris Jones is a year older. Yeah, and I don't

00:13:35.940 --> 00:13:39.100
think Chris Jones has that kind of jealousy or

00:13:39.100 --> 00:13:42.039
envy. No, no, he's the opposite. Yeah, he's not

00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:43.919
going to be saying, hey, get me more reps than

00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:47.179
him. There's a reason. There's a reason that

00:13:47.179 --> 00:13:51.080
Travis Kelsey said, hey, redo my contract. Sign

00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:54.919
him. I remember when Derek Thomas and Neal Smith

00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:57.259
were the two big pass rushers for the Chiefs.

00:13:57.259 --> 00:14:01.159
Yep. And Neal Smith wasn't getting as many sacks,

00:14:01.179 --> 00:14:03.879
and he was asked about that, and he said, that

00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:06.019
doesn't matter. You know, what I'm doing is getting

00:14:06.019 --> 00:14:08.159
Derek Thomas sacks. And this is the same way

00:14:08.159 --> 00:14:11.019
with Karloff to St. Jones. And then a lot of

00:14:11.019 --> 00:14:13.799
times a Manahew gets them. It doesn't matter.

00:14:13.860 --> 00:14:16.519
They have this rush that's designed to flush

00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:19.340
a guy out, and then first man to him gets him.

00:14:19.659 --> 00:14:23.799
Sometimes it's Michael Dana. But the thing is,

00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:26.000
it's as long as they get him. That's all they

00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:28.000
care about. Nobody cares about stats. They care

00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:30.419
about rings, and that's why this team's been

00:14:30.419 --> 00:14:33.539
so special. Everyone on there is looking at a

00:14:33.539 --> 00:14:35.379
ring. They're not looking at personal stats.

00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:37.399
They don't care. And that used to be more of

00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:40.360
a big thing in the players' contracts. they would

00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:42.840
base some incentives and bonuses and things on

00:14:42.840 --> 00:14:45.840
certain stats. And I think the league as a whole

00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:47.500
has said, you know what, this isn't working out

00:14:47.500 --> 00:14:49.240
for us because then players don't care about

00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:51.279
the team. Exactly. They just want their stats

00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:53.580
so they get paid, so let's get that out of the

00:14:53.580 --> 00:14:56.080
contracts. It's kind of faded out now, which

00:14:56.080 --> 00:14:57.340
is a good thing. Yeah, it has, which is great.

00:14:57.679 --> 00:15:01.460
All right. Will Aaron Rodgers win a playoff game

00:15:01.460 --> 00:15:04.960
with the Steelers? Yeah, I think he will. I think

00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:06.600
he's going to win one. I think he will. Then

00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:08.600
he's going to hit the brick wall of the Bills.

00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:12.360
Maybe the Bengals, the Chiefs. At his own age?

00:15:12.700 --> 00:15:16.740
Yeah. Maybe Baltimore. I don't know. I'm still

00:15:16.740 --> 00:15:20.519
not convinced on them. Texans, as of right now,

00:15:20.580 --> 00:15:24.080
I think they could beat the Texans. I think if

00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:27.200
he'd stayed with the Packers, I wouldn't be as

00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:29.220
impressed with the Packers as I am this season.

00:15:29.500 --> 00:15:32.279
Oh, yeah. Well, Jordan Love is out for a little

00:15:32.279 --> 00:15:35.500
bit, isn't he? Yeah. Anyway, I'm jumping ahead

00:15:35.500 --> 00:15:38.899
to predictions. Oh, okay. No, that's fine. But,

00:15:38.899 --> 00:15:40.820
yeah, I think the Steelers are going to win one,

00:15:40.899 --> 00:15:43.480
especially if it's a home game. But then, yeah,

00:15:43.539 --> 00:15:45.879
they'll hit the wall. I got a question, just

00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:47.820
a sidebar here. Sure. Do you think that the Packers

00:15:47.820 --> 00:15:51.039
are going to win because of Jordan Love or because

00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:53.740
he's part of the team? I think it's going to

00:15:53.740 --> 00:15:55.759
be a team, kind of a team system. I agree, too.

00:15:55.799 --> 00:15:57.259
I don't think he's a guy that's going to grab

00:15:57.259 --> 00:15:58.759
the team, throw them on his shoulders and go,

00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:01.529
come on, guys. Maybe once in a while, but not

00:16:01.529 --> 00:16:04.629
as a regular everyday thing. There are some teams,

00:16:04.629 --> 00:16:06.570
like the Bills, go out there knowing whatever

00:16:06.570 --> 00:16:09.629
happens, Josh Allen is going to push and he's

00:16:09.629 --> 00:16:11.570
going to get us. He's going to get us in a position.

00:16:11.570 --> 00:16:13.309
And they just know it. They just know it going

00:16:13.309 --> 00:16:15.409
in. No matter what happens, Josh Allen's never

00:16:15.409 --> 00:16:17.549
out of it. The opposing team knows it too. They're

00:16:17.549 --> 00:16:20.190
like, well, you have Josh Allen up there, so

00:16:20.190 --> 00:16:23.350
we know this. Yeah, so it's going to take a bit

00:16:23.350 --> 00:16:26.799
to build that kind of confidence. with a team

00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:28.820
of the younger quarterback or a new quarterback

00:16:28.820 --> 00:16:33.720
or that kind of thing. Yeah. All right. Who will

00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:36.720
lead the league in passing this season, yards

00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:41.659
and then rating? Wow. I'm going to say Mahomes.

00:16:42.940 --> 00:16:45.799
That's tempting. I'm trying to think of who did

00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:48.879
the best in signing wide receivers this season,

00:16:48.899 --> 00:16:51.159
but that's usually a sign that there's a problem

00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:54.799
there, so it's not a good idea. I could go Mahomes.

00:16:54.799 --> 00:16:57.940
I could go Jaden Daniels in Washington. Jaden

00:16:57.940 --> 00:17:01.500
Daniels, I think, might be second. The reason

00:17:01.500 --> 00:17:03.419
I'm going Mahomes is because you have Worthy.

00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:06.900
You have Rice. You also have Juju. Don't forget

00:17:06.900 --> 00:17:11.220
him. You also have Hollywood. Hollywood. You

00:17:11.220 --> 00:17:14.480
also have Kelsey. You also have Gray. You also

00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:18.460
have... Royals is doing okay. Yeah, he's coming

00:17:18.460 --> 00:17:21.279
on. It looks to me like we finally have a little

00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:24.769
bit of depth. along with some superstar potential

00:17:24.769 --> 00:17:27.950
players, and you have the quarterback to do it.

00:17:29.430 --> 00:17:31.910
They've been, you know, it's been a long time

00:17:31.910 --> 00:17:34.390
coming. I mean, and look, we've been winning

00:17:34.390 --> 00:17:36.910
and everything, and he's been making every play

00:17:36.910 --> 00:17:39.269
that he had to when he had to, obviously. Yeah.

00:17:39.690 --> 00:17:43.329
So none of that is an issue because he's winning,

00:17:43.430 --> 00:17:45.349
but I think this is a year that he's going to

00:17:45.349 --> 00:17:49.089
win more with his arm than ever before. Yeah,

00:17:49.269 --> 00:17:52.849
yeah. The line's getting improved. Oh, yeah,

00:17:52.930 --> 00:17:54.890
and that's the other thing, too. The line seems

00:17:54.890 --> 00:17:58.029
to be working itself out. If Josh Simmons continues

00:17:58.029 --> 00:18:01.029
on the pace that he's going and some of the backups

00:18:01.029 --> 00:18:02.849
are doing as well as they are and some of the

00:18:02.849 --> 00:18:07.130
signings, yeah. And then they'll need to make

00:18:07.130 --> 00:18:09.529
sure they have a game plan designed for if there's

00:18:09.529 --> 00:18:12.410
nothing available in, like, three seconds, Mahomes

00:18:12.410 --> 00:18:14.950
needs to just throw it away or run with it or

00:18:14.950 --> 00:18:17.589
something. But to keep scrambling around and

00:18:17.589 --> 00:18:19.369
around and changing direction, that's how he

00:18:19.369 --> 00:18:22.170
gets hurt. Yes. And, I mean, look at the Super

00:18:22.170 --> 00:18:26.650
Bowl. Yeah. Yeah. So you can have him flushed

00:18:26.650 --> 00:18:28.329
out of the pocket just running willy -nilly.

00:18:30.549 --> 00:18:33.049
Here's a question for the Chiefs for this season.

00:18:33.069 --> 00:18:35.950
Do you think we're going to see much of the five

00:18:35.950 --> 00:18:38.849
-receiver set where Kelsey comes no tight ends

00:18:38.849 --> 00:18:42.910
at all? You know, I'd love to see that. Huh?

00:18:43.069 --> 00:18:46.769
I'd love to see that. I think it depends on how

00:18:46.769 --> 00:18:50.079
well it works. Yeah, up until now I've seen some

00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:53.759
empty backfield sets where there's all the receivers

00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:56.359
out there, but Kelsey's one of them. Yes. But

00:18:56.359 --> 00:19:00.009
imagine with our wide receiver depth. resting

00:19:00.009 --> 00:19:02.950
the tight ends or put in an extra lineman as

00:19:02.950 --> 00:19:06.230
an eligible. I think Kelsey's age, but then Noah

00:19:06.230 --> 00:19:09.029
Gray is looking really good anyhow. And, I mean,

00:19:09.049 --> 00:19:12.690
he can be such a good decoy that I don't think

00:19:12.690 --> 00:19:14.849
that that's going to be the norm the wide receiver

00:19:14.849 --> 00:19:16.930
set. I would like to see him try it a couple

00:19:16.930 --> 00:19:18.670
times in preseason. No, that's what I'm saying.

00:19:18.690 --> 00:19:21.930
Just to screw with everyone. Yeah. You put the

00:19:21.930 --> 00:19:24.069
threat in there. Yeah, absolutely. And then you

00:19:24.069 --> 00:19:26.920
put it in there. Then they're scrambling trying

00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:30.039
to change personnel, which is always good. Always

00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:31.640
good. The defense is there. It's all right. Who's

00:19:31.640 --> 00:19:33.579
got Kelsey? Wait a minute. Kelsey's not in here.

00:19:33.660 --> 00:19:36.640
Where the hell's Kelsey? Hang on. Hang on. Time

00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:42.019
out. Time out. Yes. Good old Andy Reid stuff

00:19:42.019 --> 00:19:45.099
right there. Yes. If you can't have good clock

00:19:45.099 --> 00:19:47.099
management, make sure the other team doesn't

00:19:47.099 --> 00:19:48.900
have good clock management either. That's the

00:19:48.900 --> 00:19:51.359
one where the other coach looks over. Andy Reid

00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:57.559
goes, seriously? I'm seriously going to ring

00:19:57.559 --> 00:19:59.920
your doorbell and run tonight, man. Yeah, this

00:19:59.920 --> 00:20:02.420
is the shit that wakes him up at 3 in the morning

00:20:02.420 --> 00:20:05.500
to jot it down. Yes. And you're like, don't.

00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:09.980
Fuck, where's my paper? Alexa, take a note. Yeah,

00:20:09.980 --> 00:20:16.279
yes. 42 .7 under. And in the morning he was like,

00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:17.859
the hell did I mean by that? Yeah, let's get

00:20:17.859 --> 00:20:19.880
ready to go. 42 .7 under. What the fuck was I

00:20:19.880 --> 00:20:25.859
thinking? All right. Will Arrowhead end up in

00:20:25.859 --> 00:20:29.619
the dot? Hmm. Wyandotte County, for those non

00:20:29.619 --> 00:20:32.079
-familiar, Wyandotte County is where we have

00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:35.559
the Raceway, the Kansas Speedway, and also Sporting

00:20:35.559 --> 00:20:39.579
KC, which is our soccer club, and various other

00:20:39.579 --> 00:20:41.700
teams. Yeah, it's the whole Legends shopping

00:20:41.700 --> 00:20:44.720
area, Cabela's, Nasty Natural. Nebraska Furniture

00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:46.519
Mart. They have the land. They have the capital.

00:20:46.819 --> 00:20:50.019
Yeah. All the Kansas in that area works as a

00:20:50.019 --> 00:20:52.059
unified government to where we're a free -for

00:20:52.059 --> 00:20:54.259
-all here. Clay County is working against Jackson.

00:20:54.660 --> 00:20:56.940
Jackson and Cass are working against Clay. You

00:20:56.940 --> 00:21:00.460
know. Yeah. Yeah. I think not only is it likely,

00:21:00.579 --> 00:21:03.200
it just makes sense to put the stadium in Wyandotte

00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:05.859
County out by the racetrack, share their parking

00:21:05.859 --> 00:21:10.059
if you need to. Yeah. Great, great tailgating.

00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:15.380
There's 435 right there. There's several major

00:21:15.380 --> 00:21:17.940
feeder roads coming in. There's I -70 as a backup

00:21:17.940 --> 00:21:20.140
right there. There's two major arteries. State

00:21:20.140 --> 00:21:22.940
Avenue and Parallel and Kansas Avenue that all

00:21:22.940 --> 00:21:26.619
feed right into 435. Yeah, you can rearrange

00:21:26.619 --> 00:21:29.640
stuff a little bit and make, what would you call

00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:33.720
it, like direct into the stadiums and out. Yep.

00:21:33.819 --> 00:21:37.400
You can have four lanes saying 435 South, four

00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:40.299
lanes saying 435 North, four lanes saying 70

00:21:40.299 --> 00:21:45.079
East, four lanes saying 70 West. And you could

00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:49.480
even use, like, the Schlierbahn. outdoor amusement

00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:53.099
park. That's across the street from that whole

00:21:53.099 --> 00:21:55.380
area. You could use that as the staging area

00:21:55.380 --> 00:21:57.279
and run shuttles back and forth. That'd be great.

00:21:57.539 --> 00:22:00.119
And also you have Margaritaville there too. Oh

00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:03.880
yeah, that's right. You have a couple of huge

00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:06.279
hotels there where people go, we're going to

00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:08.759
go watch a game and stay a week in Margaritaville.

00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:10.799
We're going to go stay at Great Wolf Flora for

00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:13.960
three days and go to the football game. That

00:22:13.960 --> 00:22:18.150
area was... among the top three finalists for

00:22:18.150 --> 00:22:19.849
the NASCAR Hall of Fame that they eventually

00:22:19.849 --> 00:22:23.450
put in a much more geographically South Carolina.

00:22:23.670 --> 00:22:25.910
Yeah, geographically that made a lot more sense.

00:22:25.970 --> 00:22:28.109
That's where it's from. But that's how impressed

00:22:28.109 --> 00:22:30.410
they were at the area. It's like, hey, we could

00:22:30.410 --> 00:22:32.210
seriously put it here. I'd forgotten about that.

00:22:32.309 --> 00:22:34.829
They were really close. They were either seriously

00:22:34.829 --> 00:22:37.430
in the running or being seriously used as a bargaining

00:22:37.430 --> 00:22:39.309
chip. I think they were seriously in the running

00:22:39.309 --> 00:22:41.329
by the way it looked. I mean, they really fucked

00:22:41.329 --> 00:22:43.130
around with them quite a bit. It wasn't like

00:22:43.130 --> 00:22:45.740
a little brush and look. Yeah. It was more like

00:22:45.740 --> 00:22:48.200
a, well, let's take a look at this area. Yeah,

00:22:48.220 --> 00:22:50.799
it wasn't over the sweater. It was definitely

00:22:50.799 --> 00:22:54.119
hand under. And also, retractable roof. They

00:22:54.119 --> 00:22:58.190
have the money. Super bold. Yep. Oh, yeah, we'll

00:22:58.190 --> 00:23:01.130
get a Super Bowl as soon as possible once that

00:23:01.130 --> 00:23:03.849
retractable roof stadium's there. We'll get the

00:23:03.849 --> 00:23:06.430
next one available. Yeah, isn't that awesome?

00:23:06.529 --> 00:23:08.210
And then you have Margaritaville there, you have

00:23:08.210 --> 00:23:09.990
Great Wolf Lodge, and you're going to have whatever

00:23:09.990 --> 00:23:12.089
else they decide to build there too, which will

00:23:12.089 --> 00:23:14.430
be quite a bit. We're right now at Arrowhead

00:23:14.430 --> 00:23:17.170
Stadium. We have Taco Bell. And a really crappy

00:23:17.170 --> 00:23:18.930
hotel across the highway. Oh, yeah, I forgot

00:23:18.930 --> 00:23:20.990
about that place, whatever the fuck it is now.

00:23:22.089 --> 00:23:25.569
American Quality Inn or some shit, or I don't

00:23:25.569 --> 00:23:28.390
know. Let's see, the Aviation Institute is not

00:23:28.390 --> 00:23:31.450
too far, where they teach you how to fix airplanes.

00:23:31.670 --> 00:23:34.849
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you could go there and learn

00:23:34.849 --> 00:23:38.190
how to fix airplanes. Since 1972, the county

00:23:38.190 --> 00:23:41.009
and city has had the ability and the opportunity

00:23:41.009 --> 00:23:44.210
to develop that area. You know, I miss the good

00:23:44.210 --> 00:23:50.529
old days when John F. Laughon Furniture was there.

00:23:50.650 --> 00:23:53.670
Oh, yeah. Laughon or something like that. John

00:23:53.670 --> 00:23:56.289
F. Laughon Furniture. I mean, there was Haun

00:23:56.289 --> 00:23:59.450
Bedding. I think it was John F. Laughon Furniture.

00:23:59.509 --> 00:24:01.920
Yeah, yeah. When it was right across the road.

00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:04.180
At least you'd go get a mattress after the game.

00:24:04.299 --> 00:24:06.180
Yeah, you'd buy a couch and put it out there

00:24:06.180 --> 00:24:08.319
in the parking lot to tailgate all of us. Yes,

00:24:08.420 --> 00:24:13.519
yes. Google it. John F. Lawhon. Okay? Yeah, but

00:24:13.519 --> 00:24:16.839
it's just criminal how they let all that go to

00:24:16.839 --> 00:24:19.880
waste and didn't develop a damn thing. Were they

00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:22.259
just trying to punish Raytown, you think? Yes.

00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:26.140
I think so. Man, we even had a tornado there

00:24:26.140 --> 00:24:28.259
last year. Or this year, actually. Yeah, I've

00:24:28.259 --> 00:24:30.240
actually recorded that one. I had my recorder

00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:32.759
out on the porch. That's right. Yeah, the touchdown

00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:35.339
near the stadiums and then again in Independence.

00:24:35.700 --> 00:24:38.299
Yeah. Independence, it actually rose its head.

00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:40.779
The stadium, it came down and said, nah, I'll

00:24:40.779 --> 00:24:43.200
leave you guys alone. Yeah. This place is already

00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:45.900
wrecked. Yeah, yes. The parking lot certainly

00:24:45.900 --> 00:24:49.539
is. It manhandled a couple of outhouses and was

00:24:49.539 --> 00:24:52.799
on its way. Yes. Yeah, so. Kind of like a George

00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:58.240
Michael concert. He manhandled a lot of outhouses.

00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:07.740
Literally. The joys of mental illness. So bad

00:25:07.740 --> 00:25:09.859
it gave him a heart attack. He must have been

00:25:09.859 --> 00:25:14.339
jacking pretty furiously. Fist of fury. That

00:25:14.339 --> 00:25:17.740
was a Cheech and Chong bit. They had like the

00:25:17.740 --> 00:25:20.240
masturbation. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Championships,

00:25:20.359 --> 00:25:22.619
and Tommy Chong was playing the winner, and he

00:25:22.619 --> 00:25:24.880
had, like, this big piece of fur glued to his

00:25:24.880 --> 00:25:29.299
palm. Yeah. He's standing there in trench coat

00:25:29.299 --> 00:25:33.759
just twitching. Oh, my God. No one will really

00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:36.440
know how funny they were. Oh, my gosh. Yeah.

00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:38.759
That was mostly because at the time there was

00:25:38.759 --> 00:25:40.660
absolutely nothing like them and nobody had really

00:25:40.660 --> 00:25:42.859
gone this direction before. No, no. So it was

00:25:42.859 --> 00:25:45.259
just like all new ground. It was back when smoking

00:25:45.259 --> 00:25:48.019
marijuana would make you kill people. Yes. Yeah,

00:25:48.019 --> 00:25:51.839
yeah. Yes. One puff and you're addicted for life.

00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:53.680
Yeah, and you're going to be on the street. You're

00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:56.119
going to be fucking giving sailors fucking rim

00:25:56.119 --> 00:26:00.900
jobs for joints. All right. Which running back

00:26:00.900 --> 00:26:03.799
will lead the Chiefs in yards this season? I'm

00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:06.059
going to say Hunt. I'm going to say Hunt also.

00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:09.700
And I think Pacheco and Mitchell are going to

00:26:09.700 --> 00:26:12.200
have a decent showing too. Yeah. If they both

00:26:12.200 --> 00:26:15.119
make it. Pacheco had a really good first game.

00:26:15.140 --> 00:26:18.380
He did, yeah. But he had a really good first

00:26:18.380 --> 00:26:21.759
game last year too. Yeah. I'm the kind of guy

00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:24.240
that say you keep at least three running backs.

00:26:24.279 --> 00:26:26.140
I think so too. Because you're going to use at

00:26:26.140 --> 00:26:28.480
least two during the game. The reason I say they

00:26:28.480 --> 00:26:30.319
may not make it is they have a couple other ones

00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:33.539
too that they're kind of high on. So I think

00:26:33.539 --> 00:26:35.619
it's going to be a really, really nut -tugger

00:26:35.619 --> 00:26:37.500
about who's going to get in and who isn't. I

00:26:37.500 --> 00:26:39.859
don't think you keep over three. Yeah. And then

00:26:39.859 --> 00:26:42.119
sometimes it comes down to, you know, we'd really

00:26:42.119 --> 00:26:45.380
rather use this guy, but we can put him on the

00:26:45.380 --> 00:26:47.859
practice squad. This guy, we can't. So we're

00:26:47.859 --> 00:26:49.819
going to keep the guy that we can't put on the

00:26:49.819 --> 00:26:51.240
practice squad. Well, like Carson, I think you

00:26:51.240 --> 00:26:53.140
could put him on the practice squad and nobody's

00:26:53.140 --> 00:26:57.430
really going to go after him. Yeah. If you'd

00:26:57.430 --> 00:26:59.750
rather keep somebody else than him, then that's

00:26:59.750 --> 00:27:01.450
a safe place to stash a team. Well, I mean, I

00:27:01.450 --> 00:27:04.210
kind of think the Lusters wore off on him. I

00:27:04.210 --> 00:27:07.089
mean, of course, he still could pop up and start

00:27:07.089 --> 00:27:09.589
doing better. But to me, I think he kind of got

00:27:09.589 --> 00:27:11.829
figured out in the league last year really easily.

00:27:12.549 --> 00:27:15.670
Yeah, I think a lot of hype was made of him that

00:27:15.670 --> 00:27:18.109
was not quite deserved. I agree. And it's not

00:27:18.109 --> 00:27:20.029
his fault that he didn't live up to the hype

00:27:20.029 --> 00:27:21.970
because he wasn't the one organizing it. Everybody

00:27:21.970 --> 00:27:24.650
was wanting him to be a Mike Alstott. There's

00:27:24.650 --> 00:27:27.339
no... There's only one Mike Allstock. Yeah. You

00:27:27.339 --> 00:27:30.279
know, he's a good -looking white guy, big, could

00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:35.079
fucking run. Yeah. Well, he got found out. We'll

00:27:35.079 --> 00:27:39.359
see what happens. Yeah. All right. Will Worthy

00:27:39.359 --> 00:27:42.259
crack 1 ,000 yards this season? If so, how much

00:27:42.259 --> 00:27:45.920
will he clear 1 ,000 yards? I'm thinking he's

00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:48.559
going to clear it by about 200, 250. Me too.

00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:50.740
I think he's going to have 1 ,250. Yeah. Really

00:27:50.740 --> 00:27:53.500
strong showing. Yeah. Yeah, I think that the

00:27:53.500 --> 00:27:56.819
guy is a superstar in the making. I think he's

00:27:56.819 --> 00:27:58.819
going to be a long yard specialist. You're going

00:27:58.819 --> 00:28:00.539
to see him running down the sideline. Yeah, I

00:28:00.539 --> 00:28:02.960
think his average per reception is going to be

00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:06.059
enormous. If Rasheed Rice wasn't going to have

00:28:06.059 --> 00:28:09.039
a suspension, I'd say he'd probably get $1 ,300,

00:28:09.140 --> 00:28:12.380
$1 ,400. Yeah, I think Rasheed Rice... He'll

00:28:12.380 --> 00:28:15.059
be lucky to make $1 ,000 if he's out six games.

00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:17.920
It could be six. It could be. We'll see. We're

00:28:17.920 --> 00:28:20.559
going to find out just how much the league wants

00:28:20.559 --> 00:28:23.759
the Chiefs to be in it or not by their suspension.

00:28:24.079 --> 00:28:26.460
If you try to tell me that they don't go by stuff

00:28:26.460 --> 00:28:28.960
like that, I can show you a lot of instances

00:28:28.960 --> 00:28:32.940
where they do. Now, God forbid this happens.

00:28:33.919 --> 00:28:36.180
The quarterbacks who are the major challenge

00:28:36.180 --> 00:28:39.619
to Mahomes and the AFC start getting injured

00:28:39.619 --> 00:28:41.759
and out for the season. Yeah. You're going to

00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:43.819
see the suspension come in and wreck our chances

00:28:43.819 --> 00:28:45.720
so the Chiefs can't just run away with it. I

00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:48.380
agree. I agree. Yeah. I think that's going to

00:28:48.380 --> 00:28:50.680
be one of the big factors is as long as there

00:28:50.680 --> 00:28:54.559
are quarterbacks alive in the AFC who can reasonably

00:28:54.559 --> 00:28:58.059
defeat Mahomes and the Chiefs, they'll put the

00:28:58.059 --> 00:29:00.319
suspension wherever. You just brought something

00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:02.960
up here I'm going to take a look at. Week 17,

00:29:03.359 --> 00:29:06.920
Denver Broncos. Week 18, Las Vegas Raiders. Week

00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:10.519
15, Los Angeles Chargers. Yeah. There, right

00:29:10.519 --> 00:29:15.059
there, would indicate if it's close, you're going

00:29:15.059 --> 00:29:18.460
to see. Yeah. If you suspend him for the last

00:29:18.460 --> 00:29:22.319
four to six games of the regular season, people

00:29:22.319 --> 00:29:24.359
say, oh, well, now he's nice and fresh for the

00:29:24.359 --> 00:29:26.500
playoffs. No, he'll be out of sync for the playoffs.

00:29:26.619 --> 00:29:29.240
Yes. That would really destroy the season is

00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:33.490
take Rice out. for the end run of the regular

00:29:33.490 --> 00:29:35.789
season and have them just lost in the playoffs,

00:29:36.029 --> 00:29:38.589
I think that would be a pretty good way to make

00:29:38.589 --> 00:29:41.309
sure the Chiefs falter. Yeah, or if the Chiefs

00:29:41.309 --> 00:29:43.450
are running away with it, like you said, all

00:29:43.450 --> 00:29:46.069
of a sudden it's going to go, oh, six games starting

00:29:46.069 --> 00:29:49.950
next week. Yeah. And then all of a sudden you're

00:29:49.950 --> 00:29:52.549
going to see these last three games pop up in

00:29:52.549 --> 00:29:57.049
the last four weeks of the season. Then they're

00:29:57.049 --> 00:29:58.809
going to mean something. We don't have rice.

00:29:59.170 --> 00:30:02.529
Yeah. And we came back down to earth. I mean,

00:30:02.549 --> 00:30:04.509
we're still doing well, but all of a sudden the

00:30:04.509 --> 00:30:07.190
division is in flux. Is this going to be the

00:30:07.190 --> 00:30:10.910
year? It could be. We're down one of our biggest

00:30:10.910 --> 00:30:13.970
soldiers. Every other team's playing well. Bo

00:30:13.970 --> 00:30:17.349
Nix is playing well. What's his name? Geno Smith

00:30:17.349 --> 00:30:20.529
is playing well. Herbert is playing well. He's

00:30:20.529 --> 00:30:25.940
Herbert. A thing to watch would be. Right now,

00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:28.799
the Chiefs have won the division for how many

00:30:28.799 --> 00:30:33.000
times in a row? Eleven, maybe? It's some ridiculous

00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:35.460
number. Yeah. So there's a bet you can place

00:30:35.460 --> 00:30:37.240
on whether or not they'll win the division this

00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:39.819
year. They'll be tied for the all -time with

00:30:39.819 --> 00:30:44.240
the Patriots. Oh, yeah. Okay. The Patriots. Yeah.

00:30:44.319 --> 00:30:48.079
Now, we need to watch that bet. Mm -hmm. And

00:30:48.079 --> 00:30:50.539
when that number starts going up, up, up, up,

00:30:50.539 --> 00:30:53.019
up of people betting on the Chiefs not to win

00:30:53.019 --> 00:30:55.369
the division. then we know the suspension is

00:30:55.369 --> 00:30:57.049
coming and it's going to hurt the Chiefs. Yes.

00:30:57.309 --> 00:31:00.329
Because members of the NFL league office will

00:31:00.329 --> 00:31:02.509
know when the suspension is coming. Yes. And

00:31:02.509 --> 00:31:06.410
they will know when to place the bets. So I'm

00:31:06.410 --> 00:31:08.930
going to watch that betting line. Yeah. And if

00:31:08.930 --> 00:31:11.029
it starts to shift towards Chiefs are not going

00:31:11.029 --> 00:31:13.450
to win the division, then you figure the suspension

00:31:13.450 --> 00:31:15.130
is not far behind. We know that it's coming up.

00:31:15.130 --> 00:31:17.750
Someone got the Iggy from inside and said, hey,

00:31:17.829 --> 00:31:20.299
guys. I mean, you know, Vegas gets the Iggy on

00:31:20.299 --> 00:31:23.160
everything anyhow, so, you know. But anymore,

00:31:23.359 --> 00:31:26.220
that seems like a reasonable strategy is to watch

00:31:26.220 --> 00:31:29.160
for the insider trading to happen right in front

00:31:29.160 --> 00:31:31.259
of your eyes. It's really not that much different.

00:31:31.839 --> 00:31:34.160
It's like inside information, you react to it

00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:38.599
to make money. Yep. All right. What game will

00:31:38.599 --> 00:31:40.420
be the roughest game on the Chiefs' schedule

00:31:40.420 --> 00:31:42.880
this year? And let me go over a few of them here.

00:31:43.119 --> 00:31:51.650
Yeah. Okay. We've got the Eagles, the Ravens,

00:31:51.650 --> 00:31:57.069
the Lions, the Commanders, the Bills, Texans.

00:32:02.109 --> 00:32:04.390
In addition to the division opponents. Yeah,

00:32:04.470 --> 00:32:06.509
the division opponents. I kind of left them alone.

00:32:06.569 --> 00:32:09.069
Yeah, because we know them. I'm going to say

00:32:09.069 --> 00:32:10.789
Philadelphia. Out of that group, I was going

00:32:10.789 --> 00:32:14.009
to go Buffalo first, Philly second. No, no, no,

00:32:14.009 --> 00:32:16.230
you're right. Buffalo is always kicking our ass

00:32:16.230 --> 00:32:18.289
during the regular season. And they've got something

00:32:18.289 --> 00:32:21.910
very significant to gain by getting the tiebreaker

00:32:21.910 --> 00:32:24.430
over us. Yes. Whereas Eagles would like to just

00:32:24.430 --> 00:32:27.150
stomp us just for its own sake. And then Buffalo

00:32:27.150 --> 00:32:29.130
will lose to Jacksonville the next week and we'll

00:32:29.130 --> 00:32:33.589
win. Probably happen. That's what's been happening.

00:32:33.730 --> 00:32:36.869
We go, there we go, we finally got it. I remember

00:32:36.869 --> 00:32:39.970
a season where the Chiefs would get a really

00:32:39.970 --> 00:32:42.670
tough opponent. And we'd play them tough and

00:32:42.670 --> 00:32:45.130
we'd squeak out a victory. And then the very

00:32:45.130 --> 00:32:47.390
next week, a cream puff would come in and the

00:32:47.390 --> 00:32:49.349
Chiefs would just lay down and get trampled.

00:32:49.450 --> 00:32:53.769
Yeah. Like, who the hell are you guys? Is this

00:32:53.769 --> 00:32:55.970
the team? Are you sending in subs? Is this your

00:32:55.970 --> 00:33:01.829
wives and kids playing? Or Michael Spinks. It's

00:33:01.829 --> 00:33:03.849
like, there's no way this scrub's going to win.

00:33:05.730 --> 00:33:11.329
Go home, everybody. All right. Will, finally,

00:33:11.569 --> 00:33:14.029
will the Chiefs have home field advantage this

00:33:14.029 --> 00:33:18.230
season? Yes. I think so too. I think as business

00:33:18.230 --> 00:33:21.750
as usual, nameless, faceless opponent that's

00:33:21.750 --> 00:33:24.369
always there, that they're always fighting, and

00:33:24.369 --> 00:33:27.190
they don't stop. I think that Mahomes reads every

00:33:27.190 --> 00:33:30.589
piece of bullshit everywhere. Yes. And I think

00:33:30.589 --> 00:33:33.049
he doesn't get mad, he gets better. He's like,

00:33:33.150 --> 00:33:37.170
all right, okay, let's see what else. Oh, okay,

00:33:37.289 --> 00:33:40.019
I see I'm washed up. Oh, let's see. What is this?

00:33:40.700 --> 00:33:45.819
Ben, Rapeless Burger said what? Oh, I'm not in

00:33:45.819 --> 00:33:48.160
my prime. Well, that's right. Raffles Burger

00:33:48.160 --> 00:33:50.359
was accused of rape, wasn't he? Three or four

00:33:50.359 --> 00:33:52.500
times. Yeah. How do you think I got the name

00:33:52.500 --> 00:34:00.559
Johnny Rohypnol? Yeah. Oh, my God. Yeah, so anyhow.

00:34:01.900 --> 00:34:05.910
Yeah, I think. Yeah. Yeah, I think they're still

00:34:05.910 --> 00:34:07.609
there, and I think that they're not wanting to

00:34:07.609 --> 00:34:13.289
give it up anytime soon. No, not at all. All

00:34:13.289 --> 00:34:16.690
right. Okay, you got something you want to go

00:34:16.690 --> 00:34:18.849
into? That's the end of bullet points? Yeah,

00:34:18.949 --> 00:34:20.610
I started looking at some of the latest things

00:34:20.610 --> 00:34:24.909
happening in the league right now. First thing

00:34:24.909 --> 00:34:27.030
that jumped out at me was the Cleveland Browns

00:34:27.030 --> 00:34:31.010
edge rusher, Miles Garrett, cited for driving

00:34:31.010 --> 00:34:33.710
100 in a 60 -mile -an -hour zone last weekend.

00:34:34.139 --> 00:34:35.800
Oh, I didn't see that. I guess he was trying

00:34:35.800 --> 00:34:39.380
to outdo Shador Sanders. He got tired of him

00:34:39.380 --> 00:34:42.760
getting all the pub. Yes. And this was just hours

00:34:42.760 --> 00:34:44.840
after the team's preseason opener against the

00:34:44.840 --> 00:34:47.420
Panthers. Where Shador is getting a statue erected

00:34:47.420 --> 00:34:51.659
right now. Yeah. Now, Garrett has been stopped

00:34:51.659 --> 00:34:54.860
for speeding seven other times since he was drafted

00:34:54.860 --> 00:34:57.039
number one overall pick by the franchise. Oh,

00:34:57.039 --> 00:34:59.260
he's got him alleged for it, huh? Okay. Now,

00:34:59.280 --> 00:35:00.820
speaking for the first time since the incident,

00:35:00.900 --> 00:35:03.900
Browns. Coach Stefanski called the situation

00:35:03.900 --> 00:35:06.639
with Garrett extremely disappointing. Coming

00:35:06.639 --> 00:35:08.940
from a team leader, this is extremely disappointing.

00:35:09.480 --> 00:35:11.699
It's been addressed with Miles with the team.

00:35:11.780 --> 00:35:13.880
He needs to slow down for his safety and the

00:35:13.880 --> 00:35:17.900
safety of others. Now, in September of 22, Miles

00:35:17.900 --> 00:35:19.920
Garrett was injured after he rolled his Porsche.

00:35:20.300 --> 00:35:22.880
It went airborne. He rolled it several times.

00:35:23.300 --> 00:35:26.920
And he was injured. And he said at the time,

00:35:26.980 --> 00:35:28.980
wow, that's a wake -up call for me. Man, I'm

00:35:28.980 --> 00:35:32.079
going to change my ways. Yeah, he hasn't. No.

00:35:32.179 --> 00:35:35.579
No. I think that he looked down on his cue card

00:35:35.579 --> 00:35:38.119
at what his lawyer said to say. Yeah. Let's see.

00:35:38.179 --> 00:35:40.400
Okay. What is this? What's the chart? Oh, okay.

00:35:40.519 --> 00:35:44.739
Hang on. Oh. This is my heartfelt apology that

00:35:44.739 --> 00:35:47.119
was written by three lawyers for me this afternoon.

00:35:47.440 --> 00:35:50.480
Oh, shit. I mean, this is my heartfelt apology

00:35:50.480 --> 00:35:54.420
that I wrote down earlier this afternoon. All

00:35:54.420 --> 00:35:57.940
right. Now, Baltimore. Baltimore. This is Baltimore.

00:35:58.409 --> 00:36:00.969
Baltimore Ravens quarterback and two -time NFL

00:36:00.969 --> 00:36:03.929
MVP Lamar Jackson has withdrawn his trademark

00:36:03.929 --> 00:36:06.789
opposition to former Dallas Cowboys quarterback

00:36:06.789 --> 00:36:10.210
Troy Aikman's use of the number eight. They both

00:36:10.210 --> 00:36:12.750
wear number eight. Okay. Now, this is more than

00:36:12.750 --> 00:36:16.010
a year after the dispute began. Jackson's attorney,

00:36:16.269 --> 00:36:18.590
Andrea Evans, reportedly filed a motion earlier

00:36:18.590 --> 00:36:20.969
this week to withdraw the challenge with prejudice,

00:36:21.190 --> 00:36:25.460
meaning that he cannot refile the petition. If

00:36:25.460 --> 00:36:28.400
you withdraw without prejudice, that means, let

00:36:28.400 --> 00:36:31.019
me think about it, refile. Withdraw with prejudice,

00:36:31.199 --> 00:36:34.059
then that brings in double jeopardy. So apparently

00:36:34.059 --> 00:36:37.980
they've reached an agreement. Okay, I didn't

00:36:37.980 --> 00:36:40.500
know about that whole deal, did you? No, I didn't.

00:36:40.639 --> 00:36:43.360
But it says this withdrawal of the lawsuit clears

00:36:43.360 --> 00:36:46.679
the way for FL -101, the company that filed the

00:36:46.679 --> 00:36:49.239
trademark applications and listed Aikman as a

00:36:49.239 --> 00:36:52.840
director in SEC filings, not Southeastern Conference

00:36:52.840 --> 00:36:55.619
Security and Exchange Commission. Okay, okay.

00:36:55.920 --> 00:36:57.820
It's because Aikman's been using the number eight

00:36:57.820 --> 00:37:01.280
on products, including apparel, beverages, bags.

00:37:03.159 --> 00:37:05.420
Jackson initially challenged the Pro Football

00:37:05.420 --> 00:37:08.380
Hall of Fame quarterback use of the number, arguing

00:37:08.380 --> 00:37:11.880
that the word eight spelled out in letters on

00:37:11.880 --> 00:37:14.940
commercial items could confuse consumers. So

00:37:14.940 --> 00:37:16.280
there's a difference between just the number

00:37:16.280 --> 00:37:19.869
eight and the word eight spelled out. Jackson

00:37:19.869 --> 00:37:22.130
has long promoted the number through trademarks

00:37:22.130 --> 00:37:25.849
such as Era 8 by Lamar Jackson, Era 8 and You

00:37:25.849 --> 00:37:29.849
Ate Yet. Okay, so who sued who? Lamar Jackson's

00:37:29.849 --> 00:37:31.630
been suing Troy Aikman. That's what I thought.

00:37:31.710 --> 00:37:35.889
Okay. Yeah. And he's contended that his fame

00:37:35.889 --> 00:37:39.409
and association with the number would make Aikman's

00:37:39.409 --> 00:37:41.829
products appear that they were connected to him.

00:37:43.369 --> 00:37:45.530
Yes. So that was the thing. It's like, you know,

00:37:45.550 --> 00:37:47.860
I want to be number eight. He's trying to be

00:37:47.860 --> 00:37:49.760
number eight. Only one of us can be the number

00:37:49.760 --> 00:37:52.000
eight nationally. One of them owns it, so that

00:37:52.000 --> 00:37:56.099
would be Jackson's company. No, right now it's

00:37:56.099 --> 00:37:58.639
Aikman. It's Aikman that owns it. Yeah, so Aikman's

00:37:58.639 --> 00:38:03.780
listed as the, what is it? And that's per this

00:38:03.780 --> 00:38:05.639
agreement. Yeah, Aikman is listed as director

00:38:05.639 --> 00:38:08.659
for FL -101, which has been using Aikman's number

00:38:08.659 --> 00:38:11.039
eight in merchandise, et cetera. So now they

00:38:11.039 --> 00:38:13.099
can continue, and Lamar Jackson's going to figure

00:38:13.099 --> 00:38:16.130
out something else today. Okay. It's probably

00:38:16.130 --> 00:38:18.349
a case of the attorneys got together and said,

00:38:18.489 --> 00:38:21.429
you know, everyone's going to lose money on this.

00:38:21.449 --> 00:38:23.630
Let's come up with a deal. I got money we could

00:38:23.630 --> 00:38:33.190
use. 15's bitch. Wow. Oh, hey, how about second

00:38:33.190 --> 00:38:39.929
place? We could put number two everywhere. Oh,

00:38:39.949 --> 00:38:42.789
my gosh. All right. All right. That was mean,

00:38:42.789 --> 00:38:45.360
and I know it. Okay. Next up, Miami Dolphins

00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:47.739
second -year pass rusher, former Penn State star

00:38:47.739 --> 00:38:50.179
Chop Robinson, was carted off the field with

00:38:50.179 --> 00:38:52.800
an injury during Wednesday's joint practice against

00:38:52.800 --> 00:38:58.340
the Lions. Some of the teammates and defensive

00:38:58.340 --> 00:39:00.639
coordinator Anthony Weaver were seen helping

00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:03.119
Robinson on the turf before a cart was called

00:39:03.119 --> 00:39:06.360
in to transfer to the locker room. Extent of

00:39:06.360 --> 00:39:09.590
his injuries has not been reported yet. supposedly

00:39:09.590 --> 00:39:11.909
he's been really impressing the coaching staff

00:39:11.909 --> 00:39:14.070
during practice, was developing in a premier

00:39:14.070 --> 00:39:16.889
pass rush threat alongside Bradley Chubb and

00:39:16.889 --> 00:39:22.010
Jalen Phillips. Earlier this summer, Robinson

00:39:22.010 --> 00:39:24.610
had told CBS Miami that he was anxious to start

00:39:24.610 --> 00:39:26.849
the 2020 -25 season because he had cut weight

00:39:26.849 --> 00:39:29.349
and improved his game during the offseason, and

00:39:29.349 --> 00:39:32.650
he was ready to just tear it up. So let's hope

00:39:32.650 --> 00:39:35.349
this injury is not too serious, but oh my God,

00:39:35.369 --> 00:39:40.409
there have been so many Achilles injuries. Let's

00:39:40.409 --> 00:39:47.090
see. Phillips. Who's Phillips? Okay. Jalen Phillips

00:39:47.090 --> 00:39:48.889
was quoted saying, I feel like Chop is going

00:39:48.889 --> 00:39:51.130
to be one of the best players in the league very

00:39:51.130 --> 00:39:53.309
soon. I think he's already supremely talented,

00:39:53.409 --> 00:39:55.949
but more comfortable and confident he gets. I

00:39:55.949 --> 00:39:57.750
think he's a future defensive player of the year

00:39:57.750 --> 00:40:00.969
candidate. In the interest of good football,

00:40:01.110 --> 00:40:03.150
let's hope he gets back on the field real soon.

00:40:03.309 --> 00:40:08.190
Yeah, I hope so. Yeah. Next up, rookie quarterback

00:40:08.190 --> 00:40:10.989
Shadir Sanders has been making headway in the

00:40:10.989 --> 00:40:13.010
Cleveland Browns quarterback battle. Depends

00:40:13.010 --> 00:40:15.730
on the news story you see. I get one saying he's

00:40:15.730 --> 00:40:17.969
stinking up the place. I get one saying it's

00:40:17.969 --> 00:40:21.110
just really awful. This is from CBS, so this

00:40:21.110 --> 00:40:23.849
is probably a little more close to the... Well,

00:40:23.929 --> 00:40:26.610
I mean, he's probably in the right place if he's

00:40:26.610 --> 00:40:32.380
trying to land a spot. Yeah. He may have just

00:40:32.380 --> 00:40:34.519
suffered a setback, though. According to the

00:40:34.519 --> 00:40:37.840
team, Sanders injured his oblique throwing earlier

00:40:37.840 --> 00:40:40.239
during joint practice with the Philadelphia Eagles.

00:40:40.380 --> 00:40:42.920
That's like one of the shoulder or chest muscles

00:40:42.920 --> 00:40:45.739
that helps with the throwing motion. Oh, I didn't

00:40:45.739 --> 00:40:47.860
know that. I think that's what it is. That's

00:40:47.860 --> 00:40:50.300
good, yeah. It's said that he could miss Cleveland's

00:40:50.300 --> 00:40:52.119
preseason matchup against Philly this coming

00:40:52.119 --> 00:40:56.269
Saturday. Sanders put together an impressive

00:40:56.269 --> 00:40:58.489
performance during their first preseason matchup

00:40:58.489 --> 00:41:01.190
against the Panthers, completing 14 of 23 for

00:41:01.190 --> 00:41:04.550
138 yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions.

00:41:05.769 --> 00:41:08.110
Deion Sanders said his son was going to be a

00:41:08.110 --> 00:41:10.730
problem in his first preseason action, and he

00:41:10.730 --> 00:41:15.289
was. He was a problem for the Panthers. Sanders

00:41:15.289 --> 00:41:17.989
even saw an increase in reps during practice

00:41:17.989 --> 00:41:20.949
during the week, but has not been promoted on

00:41:20.949 --> 00:41:24.349
the team's depth chart. His oblique issue is

00:41:24.349 --> 00:41:26.250
just the most recent injury for the Browns quarterback

00:41:26.250 --> 00:41:29.030
room. Kenny Pickett and Dylan Gabriel missed

00:41:29.030 --> 00:41:32.590
week one due to hamstring injuries, which led

00:41:32.590 --> 00:41:34.730
Cleveland to sign quarterback Tyler Huntley.

00:41:36.210 --> 00:41:39.409
ESPN is reporting. Was he the guy from Baltimore,

00:41:39.550 --> 00:41:43.469
Huntley? That sounds right. I think so. Yeah,

00:41:43.590 --> 00:41:46.010
he played a lot of that one season that Lamar

00:41:46.010 --> 00:41:50.070
Jackson was out. Okay. And then he went to Miami.

00:41:50.820 --> 00:41:53.280
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, okay. I want to make sure we're

00:41:53.280 --> 00:41:56.159
talking about the same person. Oh, go ahead.

00:41:56.420 --> 00:41:58.119
I was just going to say, ESPN has been reporting

00:41:58.119 --> 00:42:00.460
that Pickett has not taken part in team drills

00:42:00.460 --> 00:42:04.099
since July 26th. But Gabriel has now participated

00:42:04.099 --> 00:42:07.039
in team drills two days in a row after experiencing

00:42:07.039 --> 00:42:11.119
hamstring tightness this past week. I've got

00:42:11.119 --> 00:42:14.400
a question along the same lines. Deshaun Watson,

00:42:14.619 --> 00:42:17.019
is he going to come back and play, or do you

00:42:17.019 --> 00:42:18.679
think he's going to come back and be let go?

00:42:20.480 --> 00:42:23.679
Let go? I think so, too. I think the fact that

00:42:23.679 --> 00:42:26.820
he was mentioned early, early during OTAs, and

00:42:26.820 --> 00:42:28.400
now they haven't talked about him at all, and

00:42:28.400 --> 00:42:31.039
his name is being kept out of any Cleveland Browns

00:42:31.039 --> 00:42:33.280
story. Could remind you of Houston, doesn't it?

00:42:33.360 --> 00:42:35.099
Yeah, yeah. I think they're just kind of all

00:42:35.099 --> 00:42:38.260
done talking about him. I think there's so much

00:42:38.260 --> 00:42:40.880
more to those stories we don't know and we're

00:42:40.880 --> 00:42:43.480
not going to know by the way everyone's acting.

00:42:43.800 --> 00:42:47.980
Yeah. Yeah. So, all right, go ahead. I just wanted

00:42:47.980 --> 00:42:53.340
to ask that. Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas

00:42:53.340 --> 00:42:56.679
Cowboys, Yoda. Yoda, yeah. He generally doesn't

00:42:56.679 --> 00:42:59.679
keep quiet about anything. No. He blabs and tells

00:42:59.679 --> 00:43:03.860
you everything. Yeah. But this week, he revealed

00:43:03.860 --> 00:43:06.840
that he's been battling stage four melanoma,

00:43:06.920 --> 00:43:13.940
which is skin cancer, for a decade. And he apparently

00:43:13.940 --> 00:43:16.480
is doing really, really well. He said he was

00:43:16.480 --> 00:43:19.179
diagnosed in 2010, underwent a number of treatments,

00:43:19.380 --> 00:43:24.099
a number of surgeries. 15 years. Yep. And he

00:43:24.099 --> 00:43:26.119
ultimately credited an experimental drug for

00:43:26.119 --> 00:43:28.300
saving your life. It's called PD -1 therapy.

00:43:29.480 --> 00:43:33.559
He was in the clinical trials for it. It wasn't

00:43:33.559 --> 00:43:35.860
approved for human use yet, so he volunteered

00:43:35.860 --> 00:43:38.940
to let them experiment on him. Sorry, I'm kicking

00:43:38.940 --> 00:43:40.679
your foot. No, that's all right. No, I didn't

00:43:40.679 --> 00:43:47.559
know what it was. Yeah. Okay. As a human being,

00:43:47.719 --> 00:43:49.780
I now can have some sympathy for him because

00:43:49.780 --> 00:43:52.099
cancer is a real shit thing to happen to anybody.

00:43:52.119 --> 00:43:56.340
Yeah, it sucks. Yeah. But I'm looking forward

00:43:56.340 --> 00:43:58.219
to next week when I'll forget all about it and

00:43:58.219 --> 00:44:00.420
go back to ragging him for making really bad

00:44:00.420 --> 00:44:03.320
decisions. I'm never going to be nice about him,

00:44:03.340 --> 00:44:05.519
but I have a lot of empathy for him, and I hope

00:44:05.519 --> 00:44:09.860
he gets better. Yeah, definitely. Here we go.

00:44:09.920 --> 00:44:12.519
Los Angeles Chargers have already received bad

00:44:12.519 --> 00:44:15.360
news along the offensive line. Oh, that's too

00:44:15.360 --> 00:44:19.400
bad. Yeah. Isn't it just... Oh, that Jim Bahar

00:44:19.400 --> 00:44:23.579
ball is just so likable. Franchise left tackle

00:44:23.579 --> 00:44:26.400
Rashawn Slater suffered a season -ending torn

00:44:26.400 --> 00:44:29.260
patellar tendon in practice. That's the tendon

00:44:29.260 --> 00:44:31.059
that keeps your kneecap in place. Where's that

00:44:31.059 --> 00:44:39.719
Price is Right losing sound? Let's see. Now guard

00:44:39.719 --> 00:44:42.980
Mechie. Mickey Becton's status for the start

00:44:42.980 --> 00:44:45.219
of the season is up in the air. He has yet to

00:44:45.219 --> 00:44:47.179
return from practice while dealing with a quote

00:44:47.179 --> 00:44:50.519
-unquote minor injury. It's keeping him out this

00:44:50.519 --> 00:44:52.460
long, and he's up in the air for the season opener.

00:44:52.900 --> 00:44:55.159
That's not really a minor issue. No, it isn't.

00:44:56.639 --> 00:44:59.739
The offensive coordinator, Greg Roman, told reporters

00:44:59.739 --> 00:45:01.940
that he expects Becton, who hasn't practiced

00:45:01.940 --> 00:45:04.880
since July 28th, will be ready for the start

00:45:04.880 --> 00:45:06.539
of the regular season, although he's not putting

00:45:06.539 --> 00:45:10.590
anything in concrete. Mickey's working through

00:45:10.590 --> 00:45:13.110
something, he said. He'll be fine. He's getting

00:45:13.110 --> 00:45:15.030
a lot of great meeting time and walk -through

00:45:15.030 --> 00:45:18.050
time. Working through something. That doesn't

00:45:18.050 --> 00:45:20.809
sound like an injury anymore. Sounds like his

00:45:20.809 --> 00:45:22.489
pee -pee was touched when he was like seven.

00:45:22.590 --> 00:45:28.650
It could be. No, I don't know. I don't know.

00:45:29.429 --> 00:45:31.389
Working through something. Yeah, it makes it

00:45:31.389 --> 00:45:33.190
sound like it's more of a personal issue, but

00:45:33.190 --> 00:45:35.570
they called it an injury, and then this guy forgot

00:45:35.570 --> 00:45:38.170
that they were calling it an injury and let it

00:45:38.170 --> 00:45:43.309
slip. There is absolutely no truth to the rumor

00:45:43.309 --> 00:45:45.349
that his pee -pee was touched by a clown when

00:45:45.349 --> 00:45:48.829
he was seven. It was at the circus, yes, but

00:45:48.829 --> 00:45:53.030
the clown got nowhere near his pee -pee. Anyhow,

00:45:53.030 --> 00:45:55.949
go ahead. Okay, John Gruden is making noise again.

00:45:56.210 --> 00:46:00.760
Okay. He plans to appeal a ruling. by a Nevada

00:46:00.760 --> 00:46:03.460
Supreme Court that will allow former Vegas Raiders

00:46:03.460 --> 00:46:06.860
coach John Gruden to proceed with his lawsuit

00:46:06.860 --> 00:46:09.099
and not go through the league for arbitration.

00:46:10.340 --> 00:46:13.159
Gruden sued the NFL in November of 21, claiming

00:46:13.159 --> 00:46:15.579
that the NFL and Commissioner Roger Goodell had

00:46:15.579 --> 00:46:18.059
organized a quote, malicious and orchestrated

00:46:18.059 --> 00:46:21.099
campaign to destroy his career by leaking old

00:46:21.099 --> 00:46:23.860
emails he had sent that included offensive language.

00:46:24.730 --> 00:46:27.090
Now, that did happen. They did go through all

00:46:27.090 --> 00:46:29.030
his emails, and they leaked the worst possible

00:46:29.030 --> 00:46:31.750
ones to the public. Supposedly, there's a lot

00:46:31.750 --> 00:46:33.269
of other people that could have been thrown under

00:46:33.269 --> 00:46:35.550
the bus, but Gruden took the high route. Those

00:46:35.550 --> 00:46:41.010
emails weren't just him saying stuff. Let's see.

00:46:41.070 --> 00:46:44.429
In a 5 -2 decision, the Nevada Supreme Court

00:46:44.429 --> 00:46:47.150
ruled Monday that the NFL Constitution and Bylaws

00:46:47.150 --> 00:46:50.630
Arbitration Clause does not apply to Gruden as

00:46:50.630 --> 00:46:54.599
a former employee and is unconscionable. So the

00:46:54.599 --> 00:46:57.480
court is saying your policy on this is really

00:46:57.480 --> 00:47:01.099
grotesque and ugly, and no decent person would

00:47:01.099 --> 00:47:03.480
have a clause like this. That's pretty stern.

00:47:03.699 --> 00:47:06.519
Yes, it is. So now it allows Gruden's lawsuit

00:47:06.519 --> 00:47:10.480
to proceed in public. I love that. Yes. The NFL

00:47:10.480 --> 00:47:12.599
wanted to be closed arbitration, and then they

00:47:12.599 --> 00:47:14.300
come out saying, we've reached an agreement and

00:47:14.300 --> 00:47:16.300
we're not talking about it. That's what the NFL

00:47:16.300 --> 00:47:17.659
wanted. That's what they wanted. And that's what

00:47:17.659 --> 00:47:19.639
the court said is, uh -uh, you don't get to do

00:47:19.639 --> 00:47:22.309
that. This is going to be a very public lawsuit.

00:47:22.449 --> 00:47:26.449
Now Gruden gets to point out, hey, this is what

00:47:26.449 --> 00:47:29.710
happened. And this is also his way to get back

00:47:29.710 --> 00:47:33.730
some relevancy in the leak, too. Yes. To be shown

00:47:33.730 --> 00:47:35.949
that he was done dirty like that, I think is

00:47:35.949 --> 00:47:37.710
going to outshine anything he might have said.

00:47:38.090 --> 00:47:42.730
Yep. So, anyhow, go ahead. Gruden claims that

00:47:42.730 --> 00:47:45.269
the NFL selectively leaked his emails, which

00:47:45.269 --> 00:47:47.230
they did. They selected a few. They didn't just

00:47:47.230 --> 00:47:48.730
leak a bunch of them. They pretty much said that.

00:47:49.789 --> 00:47:51.530
And they leaked the ones that contained allegedly

00:47:51.530 --> 00:47:54.809
racist, misogynistic, and anti -gay remarks in

00:47:54.809 --> 00:47:56.849
an attempt to destroy his reputation and force

00:47:56.849 --> 00:47:59.550
the Raiders to fire him. Gruden later resigned

00:47:59.550 --> 00:48:02.530
as head coach of the Raiders under duress. He's

00:48:02.530 --> 00:48:04.769
seeking monetary damages, claiming the disclosure

00:48:04.769 --> 00:48:06.969
of the emails ruined his coaching career and

00:48:06.969 --> 00:48:09.949
endorsement contracts, which it did. Speaking

00:48:09.949 --> 00:48:12.510
to ESPN, Gruden has said Tuesday that he's looking

00:48:12.510 --> 00:48:14.570
forward to having the truth come out and he wants

00:48:14.570 --> 00:48:16.409
to make sure what happened to him does not happen

00:48:16.409 --> 00:48:19.369
to anyone else. And, boy, golly, I hope it comes

00:48:19.369 --> 00:48:24.170
out very publicly. It cannot come out fast enough,

00:48:24.289 --> 00:48:26.570
and I want it public, and I want it everywhere.

00:48:26.730 --> 00:48:29.389
I would love to see someone turn over a rock

00:48:29.389 --> 00:48:31.590
and see all the dirty, squirming, ugly things

00:48:31.590 --> 00:48:33.550
that the NFL is trying to hide. I can't wait.

00:48:33.630 --> 00:48:37.750
I would love to see that. I cannot wait. The

00:48:37.750 --> 00:48:40.809
game of football will survive, but I'd like to

00:48:40.809 --> 00:48:44.909
see the NFL get just crushed. Yes. Absolutely

00:48:44.909 --> 00:48:49.449
crushed. If the suit goes on, they're going to

00:48:49.449 --> 00:48:51.070
do what they can to settle out of court, I'm

00:48:51.070 --> 00:48:55.250
thinking. Absolutely. Yeah. All right. San Francisco

00:48:55.250 --> 00:48:58.190
49ers receiver Jawan Jennings hasn't practiced

00:48:58.190 --> 00:49:01.769
since July 27th due to a calf injury, which came

00:49:01.769 --> 00:49:03.829
less than two weeks after reports surfaced that

00:49:03.829 --> 00:49:06.170
Jennings wanted a new contract and is open to

00:49:06.170 --> 00:49:08.150
trade if he isn't compensated adequately. I remember

00:49:08.150 --> 00:49:10.909
we talked about this. We figured his ask for

00:49:10.909 --> 00:49:14.420
a trade was contract -based. Yeah. Well. He's

00:49:14.420 --> 00:49:16.420
entering the final year of his two -year $15

00:49:16.420 --> 00:49:22.300
.4 million extension. Despite wanting a new contract,

00:49:22.440 --> 00:49:24.480
it doesn't appear that the extension is imminent.

00:49:24.980 --> 00:49:28.280
Tim Kawakami of the San Francisco Standard. Kawakami?

00:49:28.440 --> 00:49:31.219
Yeah. What a name. He reported Tuesday that the

00:49:31.219 --> 00:49:33.500
two sides are not close to a new ingredient,

00:49:33.739 --> 00:49:36.440
citing the timing of the contract request. The

00:49:36.440 --> 00:49:39.599
49ers had a massive roster overhaul this offseason,

00:49:39.699 --> 00:49:42.699
letting free agents such as Dre Greenlaw, Tarverius

00:49:42.699 --> 00:49:46.139
Ward, and... Tala Noah Hufunga, excuse me, walk

00:49:46.139 --> 00:49:51.199
-in free agency. Oh, yeah, work's free now? And

00:49:51.199 --> 00:49:53.719
let's see, 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan addressed

00:49:53.719 --> 00:49:55.880
the rumors earlier this month about whether Jennings'

00:49:56.019 --> 00:49:58.519
absence from practice was contract -related or

00:49:58.519 --> 00:50:00.880
due to the calf injury. Well, you can ask him

00:50:00.880 --> 00:50:03.139
that, Shanahan said, but he tells me it's his

00:50:03.139 --> 00:50:06.079
calf and the calf shows, so we got to be delicate

00:50:06.079 --> 00:50:11.380
with those calves. This is why nobody likes him.

00:50:11.519 --> 00:50:14.699
I think, I think. The receiver probably has,

00:50:14.760 --> 00:50:16.980
like, a little tiny scratch on his calf, and

00:50:16.980 --> 00:50:19.119
they're saying, look, calf injury. Sit your ass

00:50:19.119 --> 00:50:23.739
out. I agree. Yeah. Let's see. Kyle Shanahan's

00:50:23.739 --> 00:50:26.260
got that flippant attitude when he says stuff

00:50:26.260 --> 00:50:30.079
anyhow. Yeah. Now, the 49ers did sign wide receiver

00:50:30.079 --> 00:50:32.900
Brandon Ayuk to a massive four -year, $120 million

00:50:32.900 --> 00:50:35.219
extension right before the start of the 2024

00:50:35.219 --> 00:50:36.320
season. And people are scratching their heads.

00:50:36.889 --> 00:50:38.789
And then Ayuk suffered a season -ending knee

00:50:38.789 --> 00:50:41.030
injury in Week 7 against Kansas City Chiefs and

00:50:41.030 --> 00:50:43.050
expected to start this season on the pup list.

00:50:43.369 --> 00:50:46.829
Yep. Without Ayuk and Jennings, the 49ers wide

00:50:46.829 --> 00:50:51.090
receiver core is thin. Additionally, rookie fourth

00:50:51.090 --> 00:50:53.329
-round pick Jordan Watkins is out for at least

00:50:53.329 --> 00:50:55.550
a month after suffering a high ankle sprain against

00:50:55.550 --> 00:50:59.289
the Broncos. Headlining the group. This is who

00:50:59.289 --> 00:51:01.510
is headlining the receivers group for the 49ers

00:51:01.510 --> 00:51:05.190
right now. Former first -round Rick. First round

00:51:05.190 --> 00:51:08.590
pick, Ricky Pearsall, who finished strong last

00:51:08.590 --> 00:51:12.630
season. They also re -signed their quarterback.

00:51:14.869 --> 00:51:20.050
Oh, yeah. Brock Purdy. Brock Purdy to a huge

00:51:20.050 --> 00:51:21.849
deal. I didn't think that was going to happen,

00:51:21.909 --> 00:51:25.389
but by golly, they sure did. That's giving people

00:51:25.389 --> 00:51:27.510
scratch their heads, just like the Duke deal.

00:51:30.190 --> 00:51:33.980
Anyhow, go ahead. I think they're a... I think

00:51:33.980 --> 00:51:35.739
their franchise is in real trouble right now.

00:51:35.980 --> 00:51:40.280
I kind of get that impression, yeah. That's the

00:51:40.280 --> 00:51:42.480
extent of my NFL news, and then I wrote down

00:51:42.480 --> 00:51:46.639
my division predictions. McCaffrey is a huge

00:51:46.639 --> 00:51:49.400
question mark, too. You know, I keep forgetting

00:51:49.400 --> 00:51:51.800
that he's even on the team. I know. But, yeah,

00:51:51.920 --> 00:51:53.559
he's sitting there holding down a roster spot

00:51:53.559 --> 00:51:57.320
and eating up a lot of cap room. They're in trouble,

00:51:57.440 --> 00:52:00.340
I believe. Yeah. And I think this might be the

00:52:00.340 --> 00:52:05.380
final dirt. on Shanahan's grave because they

00:52:05.380 --> 00:52:09.400
have Salah, Robert Salah over there. Oh, yeah,

00:52:09.519 --> 00:52:14.039
yeah. Yeah. So reportedly they really like him

00:52:14.039 --> 00:52:17.000
in all different kinds of ways. I could see the

00:52:17.000 --> 00:52:20.019
49ers sending a delegation to Denver and saying,

00:52:20.119 --> 00:52:22.500
look, a couple years ago you were in salary cap

00:52:22.500 --> 00:52:25.519
hell with a shit quarterback, and now look at

00:52:25.519 --> 00:52:28.159
you. Tell us how you did it, please. We're in

00:52:28.159 --> 00:52:31.980
desperate straits. Yeah. The problem is, is Denver,

00:52:32.179 --> 00:52:34.820
they did spend some bad money with Russell Wilson,

00:52:35.000 --> 00:52:37.460
but they didn't spend a whole lot of bad money

00:52:37.460 --> 00:52:39.599
on anybody else. Yeah, it was just kind of all

00:52:39.599 --> 00:52:42.400
that one guy. San Francisco spread it all around

00:52:42.400 --> 00:52:45.079
and made sure they're fucked. Yep. So we'll see

00:52:45.079 --> 00:52:47.559
what happens. You know, you can always draft

00:52:47.559 --> 00:52:49.659
your way out of bullshit like that, too, if you

00:52:49.659 --> 00:52:51.820
do it right. Yeah, yeah, and you're held by the

00:52:51.820 --> 00:52:55.000
fact that draft picks have a... salary structure

00:52:55.000 --> 00:52:57.699
in place you don't need to worry about your first

00:52:57.699 --> 00:52:59.380
round draft pick holding you up for millions

00:52:59.380 --> 00:53:04.719
yeah yep yep so all right um so that's the red

00:53:04.719 --> 00:53:07.539
so you've got some predictions now yeah if we

00:53:07.539 --> 00:53:09.880
were going to do the uh division by division

00:53:09.880 --> 00:53:13.599
i've got my division winners picked okay all

00:53:13.599 --> 00:53:19.079
right afc east i'm picking buffalo It's pretty

00:53:19.079 --> 00:53:23.480
easy. Yeah. I actually saw some places that were

00:53:23.480 --> 00:53:25.159
thinking New England is going to come through

00:53:25.159 --> 00:53:27.340
and win the division. They might be a second,

00:53:27.380 --> 00:53:30.280
but they're not going to be first. No, no. I'm

00:53:30.280 --> 00:53:33.960
definitely seeing Buffalo without much trouble.

00:53:35.460 --> 00:53:40.320
I think I would agree with that. Yeah. AFC North,

00:53:40.599 --> 00:53:44.679
I'm going to go with the Bengals. I think Baltimore

00:53:44.679 --> 00:53:49.900
is... is out of fresh ideas. I think so, too.

00:53:50.119 --> 00:53:51.920
And what they're doing now, people have got to

00:53:51.920 --> 00:53:56.440
figure it out. So I can see the Bengals putting

00:53:56.440 --> 00:54:01.800
it together this year and getting the number

00:54:01.800 --> 00:54:04.420
three, maybe even the number two seed. I think

00:54:04.420 --> 00:54:07.519
that's accurate, too. We're right on par with

00:54:07.519 --> 00:54:12.800
each other right now. AFC South? I'm going to

00:54:12.800 --> 00:54:15.800
pick Jacksonville. Really? I think they're improved.

00:54:16.750 --> 00:54:20.789
I think they've, after being irrelevant for most

00:54:20.789 --> 00:54:23.150
of last season and the offseason, they've had

00:54:23.150 --> 00:54:25.630
a lot of time to do stuff in private and get

00:54:25.630 --> 00:54:28.710
things figured out. I think they've made some

00:54:28.710 --> 00:54:31.829
good moves, and they're in a weak division. Yeah,

00:54:31.849 --> 00:54:33.429
they are. What about Trevor Lawrence? You think

00:54:33.429 --> 00:54:36.969
he's back from his injury? I think so. I think

00:54:36.969 --> 00:54:39.449
so. I don't know if he's going to be 100%, but

00:54:39.449 --> 00:54:42.530
he's going to be the best choice right now. Is

00:54:42.530 --> 00:54:46.300
he going to take that step finally? Or do you

00:54:46.300 --> 00:54:50.219
think he's just going to be there? I think he

00:54:50.219 --> 00:54:53.340
is what he's going to be. I think this is as

00:54:53.340 --> 00:54:56.920
good as he's going to get physically. Mentally,

00:54:56.940 --> 00:54:58.880
of course, there's room for a little improvement,

00:54:59.019 --> 00:55:02.000
sharpen up his game. That will be the team Pittsburgh

00:55:02.000 --> 00:55:08.099
beats. Yeah. Yeah, good point. And then for the

00:55:08.099 --> 00:55:11.760
AFC West, man, I'm waffling between. The Chiefs

00:55:11.760 --> 00:55:13.679
and the Broncos, but I'm going to land on the

00:55:13.679 --> 00:55:15.460
Chiefs. I'm landing on the Chiefs, too, until

00:55:15.460 --> 00:55:19.199
they show otherwise. Yeah. The history's there.

00:55:19.300 --> 00:55:21.820
The momentum's there. The key players are there.

00:55:22.059 --> 00:55:26.260
Number 15. Yeah. Andy Reid. A rededicated number

00:55:26.260 --> 00:55:29.019
87. Yes. Their restaurant has opened up. They're

00:55:29.019 --> 00:55:31.800
all happy now. Yeah, yeah. All right. Yeah, whatever

00:55:31.800 --> 00:55:33.480
that shit they were eating, though, did not look

00:55:33.480 --> 00:55:36.019
that good. Did you see the plate? I know. What

00:55:36.019 --> 00:55:38.039
the fuck was that? Let's hope it was just bad

00:55:38.039 --> 00:55:42.739
lighting or something. I hope so. Anyhow. NFC

00:55:42.739 --> 00:55:46.239
East. I think Washington's going to take it.

00:55:47.019 --> 00:55:49.500
Agreed. Philly's going to be a wild card. I agree.

00:55:49.619 --> 00:55:52.360
I think Washington has proved their offense and

00:55:52.360 --> 00:55:55.920
defense substantially. Yep. And I think they're

00:55:55.920 --> 00:55:59.260
going to hit the ground running. I agree. Yeah.

00:56:00.699 --> 00:56:03.820
Yeah, Philly is going to be tough, and you've

00:56:03.820 --> 00:56:05.760
got to watch them in the playoffs. Playoffs?

00:56:05.940 --> 00:56:08.960
Playoffs, yeah. But I think the whole thing is,

00:56:09.059 --> 00:56:11.530
I think if they're having problems. They've had

00:56:11.530 --> 00:56:15.250
in the past problems keeping their focus year

00:56:15.250 --> 00:56:19.670
in, year out, unlike the Chiefs. So I look for

00:56:19.670 --> 00:56:23.170
that to continue. Part of it is Jalen Hurts because

00:56:23.170 --> 00:56:26.010
he's kind of a streak guy. He can do really good

00:56:26.010 --> 00:56:29.570
or he can not. Shaquan Barkley, I'm not convinced

00:56:29.570 --> 00:56:32.630
on him staying healthy. That's a thing. When

00:56:32.630 --> 00:56:36.030
he's on, he's amazing, but he's like Pacheco.

00:56:36.070 --> 00:56:37.789
He's going to hurt himself with the way he runs.

00:56:39.079 --> 00:56:41.719
All right, we're in agreement on that too. Okay,

00:56:41.840 --> 00:56:45.179
NFC North. I'm picking the Packers over the Lions

00:56:45.179 --> 00:56:47.760
and over the Vikings. You know, I think the Lions

00:56:47.760 --> 00:56:49.599
are on the dissension now. I think they are.

00:56:49.679 --> 00:56:52.579
I think they had their moment and their coach

00:56:52.579 --> 00:56:54.300
kind of let them down. They're a paper tiger.

00:56:54.480 --> 00:56:58.380
Yeah. With Jared Goff. Tiger. Yeah. Lions and

00:56:58.380 --> 00:57:02.780
Tigers. And Bears, oh my. Yeah. I would agree

00:57:02.780 --> 00:57:05.480
with that. I would agree with that. I think the

00:57:05.480 --> 00:57:07.320
Packers would have taken the division last season

00:57:07.320 --> 00:57:10.039
if they could have just quit. losing to the division

00:57:10.039 --> 00:57:12.119
opponents. That's what killed him last year.

00:57:12.260 --> 00:57:13.820
I think they're going to fix that this year.

00:57:14.000 --> 00:57:16.400
I think so, too. I think Matt LeFleur is a really

00:57:16.400 --> 00:57:20.139
good coach. I think your general manager, Gook

00:57:20.139 --> 00:57:23.639
and Kuntz, Kuntz, Kuntz, I don't know. Babelstanch.

00:57:24.019 --> 00:57:26.820
Babelstanch, yeah. Any way you say it, it sounds

00:57:26.820 --> 00:57:31.139
obscene. I know. So, whatever he is, I think

00:57:31.139 --> 00:57:33.820
he's pretty savvy. Yeah. A lot more than I thought

00:57:33.820 --> 00:57:35.860
before. I got to watching some of his moves.

00:57:36.349 --> 00:57:38.269
Yeah, I think they're in position to do it. I

00:57:38.269 --> 00:57:42.150
agree. NFC South, again, kind of a weak division,

00:57:42.289 --> 00:57:44.530
but I think it's going to be the Atlanta Falcons

00:57:44.530 --> 00:57:46.989
because they fixed their quarterback position,

00:57:47.150 --> 00:57:49.530
and that's really what screwed them up last year.

00:57:49.750 --> 00:57:55.130
Yeah. Where did Kirk Cousins go? I think he's

00:57:55.130 --> 00:57:58.710
bagging groceries in Decatur, Illinois. Probably.

00:58:01.719 --> 00:58:03.739
Kirk Cousins probably built his own church on

00:58:03.739 --> 00:58:06.300
his land and has his friends over. Yeah. Look,

00:58:06.380 --> 00:58:09.780
he's a good guy. I'm not making fun of him. He's

00:58:09.780 --> 00:58:16.280
a great guy. He's pretty mild and safe and...

00:58:16.809 --> 00:58:19.869
I think he's a little too mild for his own good.

00:58:19.949 --> 00:58:21.489
I think if he had a little bit more fire, he

00:58:21.489 --> 00:58:23.070
might have been a little bit more successful.

00:58:23.329 --> 00:58:25.409
Yeah, I just really can't picture that guy firing

00:58:25.409 --> 00:58:27.969
a team up. No, that's what I'm saying is he's

00:58:27.969 --> 00:58:29.510
not the kind of guy that goes in there and goes,

00:58:29.610 --> 00:58:32.650
you know what they're saying about us? And then

00:58:32.650 --> 00:58:35.730
he brings out this huge picture. He goes. This

00:58:35.730 --> 00:58:37.989
is what little Skip Tard Ball has said about

00:58:37.989 --> 00:58:41.510
us. This is what so -and -so said about us. Look

00:58:41.510 --> 00:58:43.670
at this whole line here. This is what Sports

00:58:43.670 --> 00:58:46.969
Illustrated, they published this last week. I

00:58:46.969 --> 00:58:49.230
see them just going in going, hey, guys, we're

00:58:49.230 --> 00:58:51.949
going to give it our all. Shoot on the field.

00:58:52.210 --> 00:58:59.750
Yeah. Yeah. All right. NFC West. This one I went

00:58:59.750 --> 00:59:01.809
around and around a couple of times, and I finally

00:59:01.809 --> 00:59:06.639
landed on the Rams. That's funny. Because I think

00:59:06.639 --> 00:59:08.739
everyone else is at least a year away. I agree.

00:59:08.980 --> 00:59:10.860
And the Rams are the ones who are the closest

00:59:10.860 --> 00:59:13.480
to being put together. I hate this, but I can't

00:59:13.480 --> 00:59:15.760
argue with any of them. I feel the same way on

00:59:15.760 --> 00:59:18.719
all of them. Isn't that crazy? It is. The only

00:59:18.719 --> 00:59:21.380
one I have a little reservations about is maybe

00:59:21.380 --> 00:59:24.800
the Commanders and Philadelphia swapping. Yeah.

00:59:24.880 --> 00:59:28.039
But other than that, I agree with it 100%. Yeah.

00:59:28.860 --> 00:59:32.760
I kept looking at this like, really? Well, what

00:59:32.760 --> 00:59:35.300
would I change? And also, you made a good point

00:59:35.300 --> 00:59:38.500
about Detroit, too, about how – what's his name?

00:59:38.599 --> 00:59:40.860
I forgot his name. Campbell. Dan Campbell let

00:59:40.860 --> 00:59:43.599
him down. I don't think he can recover from that.

00:59:43.699 --> 00:59:46.219
I don't think anyone believes in him now. No,

00:59:46.300 --> 00:59:49.800
and that's a real shame because he probably could

00:59:49.800 --> 00:59:52.679
be a really good head coach. He needs to go back

00:59:52.679 --> 00:59:54.699
to being coordinator for five or six years and

00:59:54.699 --> 00:59:56.559
work his way back out. Yeah, I think that's a

00:59:56.559 --> 01:00:00.440
good plan is if he sticks around and – wrecks

01:00:00.440 --> 01:00:02.119
the team then he'll never get another chance

01:00:02.119 --> 01:00:06.360
but if he takes his lumps now and takes a demotion

01:00:06.360 --> 01:00:10.199
yeah to you know oc or dc or whatever he's good

01:00:10.199 --> 01:00:14.460
at he's not gonna though he's not gonna he's

01:00:14.460 --> 01:00:16.940
gonna ride it all the way down Because that's

01:00:16.940 --> 01:00:18.820
just not its nature. We're going to have to run

01:00:18.820 --> 01:00:21.460
a low pass, a high pass filter so they can get

01:00:21.460 --> 01:00:23.780
out of that 100 hertz rumble. Yeah. That car

01:00:23.780 --> 01:00:27.079
is rumbling the heck out of us. God. Look at

01:00:27.079 --> 01:00:29.360
the waveform on the screen. It's just blooming.

01:00:32.219 --> 01:00:36.460
Good. Sorry about your ears. Not. Our little

01:00:36.460 --> 01:00:39.699
microphone is soldiering on. It is. It's trembling

01:00:39.699 --> 01:00:42.519
in fear right now. It thought it was a GTO, but

01:00:42.519 --> 01:00:45.559
it wasn't. I don't know what the fuck it was,

01:00:45.679 --> 01:00:47.860
actually. I don't know. First glance, it could

01:00:47.860 --> 01:00:50.599
be a Charger. It might have been a Charger. Yeah.

01:00:50.780 --> 01:00:54.659
Okay. It's hard to tell. So, that's kind of my

01:00:54.659 --> 01:00:59.860
football stuff. All right. How about if we go

01:00:59.860 --> 01:01:02.599
through a couple of games? Not all of them. You

01:01:02.599 --> 01:01:04.199
want to go through the first third of the schedule?

01:01:04.699 --> 01:01:07.559
Sure. I know it's early and they don't even have

01:01:07.559 --> 01:01:12.079
the rosters yet, but why not? Why not? First

01:01:12.079 --> 01:01:15.840
one, Los Angeles Chargers, 7 p .m., 9 -5. That's

01:01:15.840 --> 01:01:21.880
a Friday night in Brazil. Sao Paulo. Yes. A lot

01:01:21.880 --> 01:01:23.980
of famous concerts have happened there. Yeah,

01:01:24.000 --> 01:01:26.219
yeah. Yeah, that's amazing. Only the rockers

01:01:26.219 --> 01:01:29.760
call it Sao Paulo. Yeah. Have you noticed that?

01:01:29.900 --> 01:01:31.960
Uh -huh. I think it's just as popular as saying

01:01:31.960 --> 01:01:35.179
Sao Paulo, which it should be. I saw some of

01:01:35.179 --> 01:01:37.840
the other day on a video talking about the town

01:01:37.840 --> 01:01:45.059
of Spokane, Washington. I want to call it Spokaki.

01:01:45.199 --> 01:01:50.679
Yeah, there we go. I'm looking for the Chiefs

01:01:50.679 --> 01:01:54.900
to do really well here. The Chargers are in a

01:01:54.900 --> 01:01:58.179
bit of turmoil. I think so. They've got this

01:01:58.179 --> 01:02:01.139
pending lawsuit over their bait and switch on

01:02:01.139 --> 01:02:05.429
the game. which it was clearly to me. Yeah, yeah.

01:02:05.510 --> 01:02:08.710
They told their season ticket holders you're

01:02:08.710 --> 01:02:10.329
going to have nine home games, including the

01:02:10.329 --> 01:02:12.610
season opener against the Chiefs, knowing full

01:02:12.610 --> 01:02:14.269
well that they were going to move into Brazil,

01:02:14.309 --> 01:02:17.210
and they're not giving anyone refunds for that

01:02:17.210 --> 01:02:19.389
ninth game that they're missing out on now. Yeah.

01:02:19.730 --> 01:02:26.289
Is that a Nissan maybe? Or is that a newer Charger?

01:02:26.309 --> 01:02:30.050
It just looks different. It's a little bit like

01:02:30.050 --> 01:02:32.329
a Jaguar in a way. It does look like a Jaguar,

01:02:32.389 --> 01:02:34.969
but I don't think it is. Well, whoever steps

01:02:34.969 --> 01:02:37.170
out will have to ask. Maybe it is a Jaguar. Oh,

01:02:37.170 --> 01:02:40.989
well, anyhow. I just think the Chargers are going

01:02:40.989 --> 01:02:43.489
to have some distractions. Their line is going

01:02:43.489 --> 01:02:45.550
to be suspect. I think the pass rush is going

01:02:45.550 --> 01:02:50.409
to eat Justin Herbert up and make him question

01:02:50.409 --> 01:02:53.750
his lineage. Yeah, he's going to leave the field

01:02:53.750 --> 01:02:56.550
with the same look on his face. Yeah, yeah. Of

01:02:56.550 --> 01:03:01.460
sheer disgust. The real bright point in all this

01:03:01.460 --> 01:03:04.000
is since they're traveling south, there's no

01:03:04.000 --> 01:03:06.639
time zone change, no jet lag. Yeah, that's right.

01:03:06.860 --> 01:03:08.599
It's only when you go east -west you get that

01:03:08.599 --> 01:03:11.019
jet lag because the time zone changes. Yeah,

01:03:11.079 --> 01:03:13.780
the Chiefs go straight south. Yeah, you can fly

01:03:13.780 --> 01:03:18.059
from far northern Canada straight down to Panama

01:03:18.059 --> 01:03:21.059
and stay in the same time zone and you're just

01:03:21.059 --> 01:03:24.260
fine. Yeah. It's when they start sending games

01:03:24.260 --> 01:03:27.349
to London. Oh, that's bullshit. You go through

01:03:27.349 --> 01:03:30.849
so many time zones. Yeah. London, here in the

01:03:30.849 --> 01:03:33.849
middle of the country, we're six hours behind

01:03:33.849 --> 01:03:38.010
London. So if it's noon here, it's dinner time

01:03:38.010 --> 01:03:41.250
in London. Yeah, and it's weird. You know, just

01:03:41.250 --> 01:03:47.849
to the east of Brazil. is two time zones that

01:03:47.849 --> 01:03:49.889
are relatively close to each other, because I

01:03:49.889 --> 01:03:52.250
know, because every time we go down there to

01:03:52.250 --> 01:03:55.690
the ABC Islands, we hit that time. Yeah. You

01:03:55.690 --> 01:03:57.730
have Eastern time, and then I think it might

01:03:57.730 --> 01:04:01.269
be Caribbean. Yeah. Okay? And they're really

01:04:01.269 --> 01:04:04.309
close to each other. And it kind of reminds me

01:04:04.309 --> 01:04:07.469
of Michigan, on the other side of Lake Michigan,

01:04:07.670 --> 01:04:11.070
where real quick, you're either Central or Eastern,

01:04:11.230 --> 01:04:13.409
and it depends on what block you're on. Yes.

01:04:14.269 --> 01:04:16.050
You'd get up in the morning and walk across the

01:04:16.050 --> 01:04:18.210
street to your job and be an hour late. Yes,

01:04:18.210 --> 01:04:21.510
it's like, what? No, literally. We were working

01:04:21.510 --> 01:04:25.289
in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and that happened. Because

01:04:25.289 --> 01:04:27.730
the job was just outside of Kalamazoo, just to

01:04:27.730 --> 01:04:30.969
the west, and we were central there. And we're

01:04:30.969 --> 01:04:34.769
like, what? So, yeah, anyhow, just something

01:04:34.769 --> 01:04:36.510
interesting there. I'm glad it's central, but

01:04:36.510 --> 01:04:38.309
if you just go to the east just a little bit,

01:04:38.349 --> 01:04:40.230
you have two time zones really close to each

01:04:40.230 --> 01:04:42.610
other. It would really suck to work in China.

01:04:43.900 --> 01:04:46.480
because they only have one time zone for the

01:04:46.480 --> 01:04:48.139
whole freaking country. I know. Isn't that fucked

01:04:48.139 --> 01:04:50.059
up? They decided, yeah, we don't want to mess

01:04:50.059 --> 01:04:53.019
with converting. Well, it's our time. It's 5

01:04:53.019 --> 01:04:55.079
o 'clock here. What time is it? Nah. And it's

01:04:55.079 --> 01:04:57.460
a huge country. Everybody goes by Beijing time.

01:04:57.699 --> 01:05:01.860
Yep. So when it's 8 o 'clock in the morning in

01:05:01.860 --> 01:05:03.699
Beijing, it's 8 o 'clock in the morning wherever

01:05:03.699 --> 01:05:06.199
you are, even though dawn isn't for another five

01:05:06.199 --> 01:05:08.579
or six hours. It's still 8 o 'clock in the morning.

01:05:08.619 --> 01:05:10.800
Get your ass up and eat breakfast. That is so

01:05:10.800 --> 01:05:17.320
bizarre. All right. Let's see. How about the

01:05:17.320 --> 01:05:24.119
Eagles? Chiefs will beat them. It'll be a statement

01:05:24.119 --> 01:05:27.880
game for the Chiefs. And the Eagles will come

01:05:27.880 --> 01:05:30.900
all confident and cocky. Hey, we beat these guys

01:05:30.900 --> 01:05:32.400
in the Super Bowl. And the Chiefs are going to

01:05:32.400 --> 01:05:34.940
come in and say, well, that was last year. Right

01:05:34.940 --> 01:05:37.320
now you guys are one and one. One and one in

01:05:37.320 --> 01:05:42.019
the Super Bowl. I want them to stay cocky. I

01:05:42.019 --> 01:05:47.719
want them to stay cocky. Haven't the Eagles won

01:05:47.719 --> 01:05:49.820
two? Oh, no, no, I'm talking about against each

01:05:49.820 --> 01:05:51.659
other. Oh, okay, I was going to think overall

01:05:51.659 --> 01:05:53.980
record. No, no, they've won two. They've won

01:05:53.980 --> 01:05:56.340
two because they won with Nick Foles, too. Yeah,

01:05:56.380 --> 01:06:00.539
and they lost the one to the Raiders. Yes. In

01:06:00.539 --> 01:06:04.940
knowledge. And then they lost one to the Patriots.

01:06:07.379 --> 01:06:12.119
Or no, or was that New Orleans? No. I can't.

01:06:12.119 --> 01:06:14.300
I don't think the Eagles have been in only three.

01:06:14.639 --> 01:06:16.340
I think you're right. They're two and one. I

01:06:16.340 --> 01:06:17.880
was talking about when they went with Andy Reid.

01:06:20.059 --> 01:06:24.039
Oh, yeah. I think it was the Patriots because

01:06:24.039 --> 01:06:27.079
Terrell Owens was playing even though he was

01:06:27.079 --> 01:06:29.900
limping. Oh, yeah, yeah. They almost pulled it

01:06:29.900 --> 01:06:33.500
off. Yeah. Yeah. Anyhow, it doesn't matter. Okay,

01:06:33.679 --> 01:06:37.170
I agree. The New York Giants are going to play

01:06:37.170 --> 01:06:40.630
them tough, believe it or not. Probably so. And

01:06:40.630 --> 01:06:42.929
that could be one of those trap games that they

01:06:42.929 --> 01:06:44.869
love to talk about where you play down to the

01:06:44.869 --> 01:06:47.369
level of your opponent. Because we have the Philadelphia

01:06:47.369 --> 01:06:52.530
before and the Ravens after. Yeah. Two playoff,

01:06:52.550 --> 01:06:56.309
playoff, playoffs, at least teams. Yeah, they're

01:06:56.309 --> 01:06:57.909
going to look at the Giants as being a flyover

01:06:57.909 --> 01:06:59.730
state. Yeah, and I think it's going to be a tough

01:06:59.730 --> 01:07:02.730
game. It's a trap game, typical. Yeah. Typical

01:07:02.730 --> 01:07:07.019
trap game. Yeah. I think they're capable of losing

01:07:07.019 --> 01:07:09.139
that. And also, it's on Sunday night football,

01:07:09.360 --> 01:07:11.400
so it would just make it even that more of a

01:07:11.400 --> 01:07:14.199
kick in the ass. Yeah. I think they'll pull it

01:07:14.199 --> 01:07:15.920
off, but I think it's going to be a last -minute

01:07:15.920 --> 01:07:20.840
heroic somehow. So, all right. And then the Jags

01:07:20.840 --> 01:07:24.420
beat them. Yeah. And then, finally, we'll stop

01:07:24.420 --> 01:07:27.639
it right here. The Detroit Lions, October 12th,

01:07:27.639 --> 01:07:32.099
7 .20 p .m., Sunday night football again. Hmm.

01:07:33.379 --> 01:07:37.079
That's another one they could lose. The Lions

01:07:37.079 --> 01:07:39.679
play them tough because they're a hard -nosed

01:07:39.679 --> 01:07:44.579
football. I'm going to go with the Lions. I think

01:07:44.579 --> 01:07:46.320
this is the first game they lose this season.

01:07:46.599 --> 01:07:49.800
Yeah. And then Lions are going to get a big head

01:07:49.800 --> 01:07:51.579
and run around and go, we're going to do it.

01:07:51.679 --> 01:07:54.300
And then they're going to – Jared Goff's going

01:07:54.300 --> 01:07:57.079
to wet down his leg the very next game. That's

01:07:57.079 --> 01:08:02.519
it. It's over. See you. Kitchen closed. I remember

01:08:02.519 --> 01:08:04.780
growing up when I was first starting to watch

01:08:04.780 --> 01:08:08.099
football. The Lions had a reputation of being

01:08:08.099 --> 01:08:11.739
a dirty team, the dirty heads and the intentional

01:08:11.739 --> 01:08:15.550
injuries. At the point where I started paying

01:08:15.550 --> 01:08:17.750
attention to football, the Lions were so bad

01:08:17.750 --> 01:08:19.590
that they were just never even covered. Oh, yeah.

01:08:19.670 --> 01:08:22.189
I never saw a Lions game unless it was on Thanksgiving.

01:08:22.510 --> 01:08:25.250
It was so bad, Barry Sanders retired. Yeah. He's

01:08:25.250 --> 01:08:28.890
like, I have no hope of winning a Super Bowl.

01:08:29.510 --> 01:08:32.649
Why would I kill myself for this? Yeah. I'm going

01:08:32.649 --> 01:08:34.689
to go to London and write books. I think that's

01:08:34.689 --> 01:08:36.470
what he did, wasn't it? I think he did, yeah.

01:08:36.729 --> 01:08:39.710
Yeah. So, anyhow. A really old computer football

01:08:39.710 --> 01:08:43.079
game called Front Page Sports. It was actually

01:08:43.079 --> 01:08:46.760
pretty good for the time. It was very well done,

01:08:46.859 --> 01:08:48.640
very detailed. It was early 90s, wasn't it? Yeah.

01:08:48.659 --> 01:08:50.960
Yeah, I remember him. Barry Sanders was on the

01:08:50.960 --> 01:08:54.880
cover of that. Okay. Yeah. The guy that fucking

01:08:54.880 --> 01:08:59.579
his hips, his fucking legs, his upper legs were

01:08:59.579 --> 01:09:02.020
like the size of his head. I mean, gosh, I mean,

01:09:02.020 --> 01:09:04.260
yeah. Yeah, it's like two giant tree trunks.

01:09:04.319 --> 01:09:06.819
Yeah, no wonder the guy could run so well. And

01:09:06.819 --> 01:09:08.800
the thing is, Barry Sanders was unique because

01:09:08.800 --> 01:09:11.359
he'd lose you to... Lose you one, lose you two,

01:09:11.460 --> 01:09:13.939
and then break off a 50 -yarder. Kind of like

01:09:13.939 --> 01:09:15.939
Eric Dickerson. Yeah, a lot like that. Except

01:09:15.939 --> 01:09:18.340
Eric Dickerson fumbled a little more. He fumbled

01:09:18.340 --> 01:09:20.420
a lot, yeah, he did. And then, you know, if you

01:09:20.420 --> 01:09:22.619
were going to play Eric Dickerson, you just had

01:09:22.619 --> 01:09:25.380
to count on him losing yards on some blades and

01:09:25.380 --> 01:09:28.460
fumbling. But he was going to rip off some enormous

01:09:28.460 --> 01:09:31.060
gains. Oh, yeah, it's too bad no one could see

01:09:31.060 --> 01:09:34.420
what Barry Sanders could have done in a critical

01:09:34.420 --> 01:09:36.340
situation because he never had any with him.

01:09:36.640 --> 01:09:40.979
Yeah. Was that like the Wayne LaFont? Yeah. Era.

01:09:41.420 --> 01:09:43.640
Yeah. Yeah. I don't even remember who they had.

01:09:44.060 --> 01:09:46.560
I remember Scotty Mitchell once at quarterback.

01:09:46.579 --> 01:09:50.180
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Scotty Mitchell.

01:09:50.359 --> 01:09:53.180
They got him from Miami, didn't they? That sounds

01:09:53.180 --> 01:09:54.539
about right. Wasn't he the guy that took over

01:09:54.539 --> 01:10:01.300
for Marino? Marino, I think. Yeah. Dan Marino.

01:10:01.779 --> 01:10:03.739
And he had a good season. It was like, we got

01:10:03.739 --> 01:10:06.470
him. We got the next guy. There was also Brian

01:10:06.470 --> 01:10:08.310
Greasy for a while. Brian Greasy for a little

01:10:08.310 --> 01:10:12.670
bit. Yeah. He did okay. What was his father's

01:10:12.670 --> 01:10:16.409
first name? Was it Don? Bob. I think it was Bob

01:10:16.409 --> 01:10:21.430
Greasy. Bob Greasy, I think. What a name. Okay,

01:10:21.750 --> 01:10:25.489
let's see. I think we're on board with all that.

01:10:25.729 --> 01:10:29.750
You got anything else? Pretty well tapped out.

01:10:29.770 --> 01:10:33.500
We got... Aaron 10, Aaron 20, something like

01:10:33.500 --> 01:10:34.640
that. All right, you want to go ahead and end

01:10:34.640 --> 01:10:36.760
this and go to the music creaks? We shall do

01:10:36.760 --> 01:10:39.020
it. All right, okay. Hey, everybody, thank you

01:10:39.020 --> 01:10:41.100
for listening. I really, really appreciate you.

01:10:41.319 --> 01:10:46.000
Go fuck yourself. Oh, no. Looks like the show's

01:10:46.000 --> 01:10:49.619
over, kids. Mark has explosive diarrhea and can't

01:10:49.619 --> 01:10:53.039
afford a wireless mic. Fear not, assholes. They'll

01:10:53.039 --> 01:10:54.899
be back invading your ear holes soon.
