Hey, guess what? You just landed on the Sports
Bastards. Sorry about your luck. Alright, we
are the Sports Bastards. Welcome to another bastard
-y episode. Yes, we are approaching now, we are
in the third week. of the NFL 2025 regular season,
and our beloved Chiefs are 0 -2. Yeah, well,
we're not the only 0 -2 team out there. It still
kind of sucks to be there. It does, but I think
there's going to be a lot of lessons to be learned
when they look back. Definitely. Here, let me
scoot some stuff around to make noise. For one,
is there royalty in football? Is there? Is there
really royalty in football? Not really. They
just kind of build some teams up and some players
up. So do you think that they think that Travis
Kelsey still has enough left in him? Man, it's
not looking like it, is it? It doesn't. I'm starting
to wonder, really, what he's got left. He looks
like an athlete that's beat up, tired, very sore.
That's what I was getting at right there. There's
things that have been hurting him since 2017.
He's 35, born on 36. Yeah. He is a tight end.
Yeah. He takes a lot of shots. That's like dog
years, you know, seven years. One year for a
tight end is like three years for a construction
worker. Yes. Well, I don't know. You've done
construction. I haven't. Carrying glass up a
fucking flight of stairs will probably take a
couple of minutes off your life. Probably so,
yes. So, okay. But still not getting... that
just hammered like dog shit every day. Yeah.
Okay. I think that maybe the Chiefs had a double
thing going on where they thought, well, he's
royalty. Yeah. And we think he has some left.
So the problem with this is once you start getting
into the mid to late 30s, as we all know, your
body doesn't just kind of decline. It starts
jumping off a cliff. You know, that's actually...
Backed up very much by medical science. I learned
recently that at age 30, you start losing kidney
function. About a half percent to one percent
every year. Yeah, so 30 really is a dividing
line. So you got a guy that's 35 going on 36,
he's taken punishment his whole life. Yeah. Had
several operations. Yeah. He's probably slowed
down his step. You know he's missed a lot of
sleep in his life. That adds up. Yeah, yeah.
All the distractions of Taylor Swift and all
that. I think that's why he got engaged right
before the season. Let's get this over with.
Maybe not wanting to do it right now, but let's
get this over with so it's out of here. And now
they're starting to hide her instead of promoting
her. Yeah, yeah. I see where you're talking now
about royalty in the NFL. Now that I know what
we're talking about, yeah, there is royalty.
Because Kelsey's definitely there. I'm sorry,
I didn't describe it right. Loyalty and royalty.
Yeah. So the loyalty part I get. I think you
have to have loyalty to a certain degree. But
also it depends on the other person too. The
other person has to go, you know, I'm eating
up a lot of salary. Yeah. And I'm not getting
enough done. Yeah. The sad thing is, is he was
our leading receiver in 66 yards. Yeah. Another
sad thing is, you know who our rushing leader
is by far? Patrick Mahomes. Yeah. I mean, it's
not even close. There's so much that's just not
going the way they told us it was going to go
at the beginning of the season. We were promised
all sorts of stuff, weren't we? Yeah, we were.
Pacheco. I've never been that high on him. Have
you? No. I mean, he was fun, but right from the
beginning, I thought this is not a sustainable
way to run the football. He's going to be fun
for a couple years, and he's going to be injury
-prone. I think he's already done. I think so.
I think that whatever he had, other teams have
figured out, and it's just not where the Chiefs
are going right now anyway. Is Mitchell even
on our – the guy we got from San Francisco, Eliah
Mitchell, is he the running back? Is he even
on our roster? I have not seen him on the field
yet. I have not. Supposedly he's there on the
roster. I don't think he's injured because that's
been the knock on him. He's had over 1 ,000 yards
one year, and he wasn't injured. Yeah. I imagine
they never intended him to be the feature back
or anything. I think they pretty much decided
that's Hunt. But I can't remember Kareem Hunt
running the ball. on Sunday. He was okay, but
that's another problem that I have is running
the ball, it seems like they get a lot more penalties
from that asshole Juwan Taylor. Number 74. Yeah,
number 74. So maybe they're afraid to run it
because that guy's such an idiot, he doesn't
know how to not flinch. And that is all on the
front office and coaching staff. It is. If your
starter... is so bad that you have to modify
your game plan to accommodate him, then what
the hell are you doing in that front office anyway?
They need to change schemes. I mean, you know,
meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Yeah.
I mean, that's what you got. You got an offensive
line that's worthless in some aspects. You have
a couple of really good guys, and then the rest
might not even be there. Yeah, that's true. You
have subpar blocking. And a lot of that is on
Kelsey, too. Kelsey doesn't look to me like he's
much of a blocker anymore either. Yeah. I remember
seeing Kelsey when he started learning how to
block, and he became a really good blocker. Yeah,
because at first it was kind of like, well, he's
a guy that can go out and run some routes. But,
yeah, he wasn't much for the blocking game. And
then he learned how to block to his credit. He
focused hard. He learned. A lot of it was Andy
Reid coming on board, too. Andy Reid knows how
to process and harness these guys. I forgot who
the coach was before that. It wasn't Todd Haley.
It was after Todd Haley. Oh, well. Romeo Cornell
was in there somewhere. I think it might have
been Cornell. Well, no, actually. Yeah, I don't
know. Well, anyhow, it doesn't matter. When they
got Reid. That's when they started having discipline
in areas like that. But I also wonder if they
didn't let things grow old on the bottom. Yeah,
that's what Hank Stram did in the 70s. I don't
see Kelsey making a lot of effort to block. It
seems like they've kind of taken a lot of that
responsibility away from him. Well, and also
the injury to Xavier Worthy. No. That he caused.
Yeah. And which he admitted and apologized for.
That right there. There are just too many things
going on with him right now that are detrimental
to the team. Yeah. He had that one really nice
fingertip catch on fourth down, but then he deflected
the ball into somebody's hands in the end zone.
Again. Again. And Mahomes tried to take the blame
for that because he's a good teammate, but no,
that was Kelsey. No, the look on his face said
it all when they panned him. He wanted to kill
him. Yeah. How must that feel for Patrick Mahomes
that here's this guy that's just been an automatic
for all these years and now he's fading? That's
the problem. The transition. Yeah. They're having
problems with the transition, not because of
the talent, but because of injuries and boneheaded
moves like rushing Rice. He's out for six games
fucking us because he's an idiot. Yeah. Let's
hope he's not an idiot anymore, but he certainly
was that day. He better get his head out of his
ass because I'll tell you what, if he doesn't
have a good season after these six games, you
cut him. Get him the fuck out of here. I'm tired
of bullshit like this. Yeah, I'm starting to
get a short amount of patience as you. No. I'm
not willing to sit here and wait three or four
years for somebody to reveal their potential.
Injured last year, missing six this year. No.
Especially when you see other teams that are
getting production right away. It doesn't have
to take two or three years before you're really
getting what you wanted out of the guy. That's
another thing that I have problems with, the
development. It's hard to believe that we have
such a successful team when you look at it on
the surface sometimes. Yeah, they seem to go
for the long -term projects. That's one of their
favorite things. Find the guy that was injured.
and didn't get good stats or find the guy with
all this raw talent and ability and then we'll
groom him. But then again, Kedarious Tony. Yeah.
We may not have won that Super Bowl without him.
Yeah. So, I don't know. You know what? Playing
the other side. Yeah, that's – when it does kind
of work out their way, that's when they say,
see, it works. We're going to keep doing it.
They have been to five out of six Super Bowls.
Remember, Croponzo. And they have won three of
them. Croponzo Thorpe. Where do I know that name
from? Wide receiver. Crap Ponzo. Crap Ponzo,
okay. He was touted to be wonderful. He was nothing.
Ryan Sims was a defensive lineman. Oh, I remember
him, yeah. Total bust. Total bust. And kind of
pompous, too, if I remember correctly. On and
on and on. Yeah. So, do you want to move off
of the Chiefs and go to the Tush Push? One more
thing I want to say about the Chiefs, and this
is something that I heard on the show yesterday.
The ones that are not as good as us. Yes. Yeah,
we feel sorry for them. Yeah, but we've got to
leave some airtime free. Yeah, we do, yes. They
were saying in the game against the Eagles, Jalen
Hurts had 25 or 26 pass attempts. The Chiefs
blitzed him on 16 of those. Now you combine that
with the number of times the Chiefs have called
a zero blitz this year, which is nobody's in
coverage, you're sending all 11 guys in. So zero
coverage, everybody's on blitz, you've got to
get to the quarterback because nobody's in coverage.
In the first two games, they've done that 14
times. And with the exception about... five teams,
that's more than all of the rest of the league
combined. I've got a question. That's a great
point you put up. I've got a question. Yeah.
Does Spagnuolo not have very much faith in the
backfield? I think it's because the D -line isn't
where it's supposed to be. That's where it is.
Yeah. They don't trust the D -line to get the
pressure all by itself, even though we spent
money on Carl Loftus and Chris Jones and O'Menehu.
And on and on and on. And they don't trust the
D -line to get there all by themselves. They
have to blitz over and over and over. Chris Jones
is a great player, but, I mean, I don't know.
It seems like he misses a lot. They've figured
him out. He is a great player, great talent,
amazing physical ability, but I think they've
figured him out. Well, look at the game against
the Chargers where he took and he held off. when
he was supposed to go in after Herbert, and he
admitted it afterwards. He goes, yeah, he goes,
I thought it was going to work like that, and
I blew it. So, okay. I don't agree with the freelancing
either, because if he was doing an extraordinary
job, then you would let him free and go, okay,
Derek Thomas is pretty much like, they're like,
just get the guy, okay? Whatever it takes, get
the guy, and he would. That's not what you have
with Chris Jones. No. Chris Jones is a big guy
that can break up plays, but he hasn't been.
Yeah, and it's not the scheme anymore where you
can just let one guy improvise. You need to know
exactly what all 11 guys are doing every moment
on every play. It should be an orchestrated attack
every time. Yeah. Because that's where the game's
played. It's a game of chess. Only probably even
more intricate than chess, as odd as that seems.
I would agree, because in chess, you've got one
piece moving per turn. In football, you've got
22 pieces moving all at the same time, and then
you have to stop and figure out what happened.
That's a little more difficult. That's another
thing. You see them on the sideline, right? They
have these little iPads and stuff. It's like,
what are you getting off of that? Are you really
figuring something out? I don't think so. I think
they're playing Nintendo. They're still getting
money. from Microsoft to use their official.
So they have to be seen a certain number of minutes
per broadcast. I bet you're right. So I think
a lot of those are fake or not even turned on.
I bet you're right. And they're just telling,
hey, go walk around the sideline holding this
and make sure the camera sees you so we satisfy
the number of on -screen minutes for the company
name and logo. Yeah. It's not about football
anymore. It's about making money off of it. football.
Yeah, why didn't I think of that? That's right.
They don't, yeah, they're probably not looking
at anything. Yeah, yeah. It's like those cooking
shows or home improvement shows. Stills of Aaron
Andrews. This is not a home improvement show.
This is a show about making money. Yes. And pretending
to improve a home is how they make money, but
this show is not here to improve homes or fix
homes, just like the Chiefs are not here to win
football games. They're here to make money. And
if winning football games makes them more money,
then they're going to do that. If keeping a bunch
of famous players on the roster that really aren't
performing anymore makes them money, they're
going to do that. That's true. It's not about
winning unless winning makes you money. Yeah.
You know, that's a good point. Sorry to be so
cynical. No, no, no. No, I like it. I like what
you said. Seriously, look at the whole thing
of football. None of that would move an inch
unless lots of money was changing hands. There's
no way people would just do that for fun. There
are people who go out and play disc golf for
fun or regular golf just for fun. NFL would cease
to exist unless it was being massively funded
and paid for. I agree. It just couldn't exist
anymore. Yeah. Well, I mean... Look, I'm going
to go ahead and cap it off with this. Okay. I
think the Chiefs are okay. Yeah, I think they're
going to be okay. Yeah, yeah, because they could
have won both games. Yeah. If one play, well,
actually, both of them came down to Kelsey. Yeah,
unfortunately. Yeah. Yeah, that was the comment
I heard about the first game is that the Chiefs
have shown you can beat the Eagles. It's just
they couldn't do it that day. Yeah. They were
close to it, and they showed everybody, look,
you can. You can beat the Eagles. Everybody was
like, oh, this team scores 40 on everybody. Oh,
they're a death machine. Well, they only scored
20. Only 20. That is not a successful day. I
mean, the defense is doing decent against both
opponents, but it's taking massive amounts of
blitzing to get it done, and then we give up
a lot of big plays. Yeah, and some of that is
Spagnuolo's blood. He's a very aggressive guy.
And, again, I have to go back to this. As bad
as it looked at times, he gets it done. Yeah.
He has one more ring than Andy Reid, doesn't
he? Yeah, he does. Yeah. Do you remember the
Cowboys flex defense from the 70s? Yes. It was
the bend but don't break. That was Tom Landry
was the head coach at that point. His idea was
we're not going to gamble. We're not going to
go all out and stop something. They're going
to complete some passes. They're going to get
some runs. But we're going to limit them to short,
modest gains. Or to three points while you're
scoring seven. Yeah, yeah. And the gamble was
we can make you take 10, 11 plays to get down
the field, and you're going to make a mistake.
And then we're going to get the ball back from
you. But you're not going to score in, like,
two or three plays. We're going to make you work
and work and work for it, and you'll make a mistake.
Yeah, the prevent. Yeah. But that used to work,
but everybody's gotten better now that you can't
count on them making a mistake at that point.
Teams can do 10, 11, 12 play drives and just
be perfect. Yes. So the flex, bend but don't
break defense, man, that just doesn't work at
all anymore. No. Because you've got to commit
to a game of that for it to work, and wow. If
there's any whiff of that going on, it's just
like, well, we'll just play it. Oh, no, you can't
do that. It's too easy for a game to get away
from you like that, too. Yep. Yep. That used
to be the Raiders' M .O. back in the 70s. They'd
pound you up the middle with the running game.
That's what she said. Yeah. And then when you
weren't expecting it, the mad bomber, Daryl LaMonica,
would throw one 70 yards over your head. And
Boletnikoff would reel it in and he'd take three
steps and be in the end zone. And that's how
they'd get ahead. They couldn't play a regular
type of football game. They had to go for the
big play every now and then. And it worked. They
got some championships that way. They did. Yeah,
that's true. It's interesting to see how the
whole thing changes over the years. You've got
to keep coming up with new stuff because the
athletes are just... so much more talented, so
much stronger, so much faster. It's just crazy.
I agree. And then now running games, as important
as they are, they're not viewed the same because
running backs get hurt so much. Yeah, yeah, the
days of the, here's our one guy and we're going
to ride this one. No, not so much. Eddie George
is. Just at least two. Yeah. Yeah. Eddie George
was a good workhorse. You put him in there for,
you'd be up 17 to 10 and you have five minutes
to kill. Give the ball to him constantly. Yep.
Terrell Davis for the Broncos. Terrell Davis
is another one. He would get, like, 170 yards,
and every other running back on the team combined
would get, like, 17. Yeah. Because it was just,
if we're going to run the ball, we're going to
give it to him. And that used to work great.
It did. Jamal Charles was really good at that,
too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Priest Holmes. Priest
Holmes was really good. Have you heard about
Priest Holmes' health? No. He has got a form
of dementia. It's concentrated mostly in the
frontal lobes of his brain. His wife is pretty
sure that it's due to repetitive brain and head
trauma injuries. She says right now he only really
remembers two things. One is their daughter's
name, and two is that he used to play football.
And that's about all he remembers. Wow. Yeah.
Oh, that's sad. He's not that old. No, he really
isn't. But that's why you're not hearing from
Priest Holmes. He's losing his brain. I'm pretty
sure he's still in his 50s. Yeah. But I'll find
out here real quick. I remember when Schottenheimer,
Marty Schottenheimer, got his dementia so bad,
he always remembered his wife. And that was it?
Yeah, he remembered. They'd say, you know, who's
your wife? He'd say, Pat. And he'd point right
to her. Yep. It's like he never lost that. No,
he didn't. And he forgot football. He did. People
told him, they said, you know that you were a
coach and you played football? And he'd just
be like, that's what they say. Yeah, he wasn't
even really sure what football was. Yeah. Yeah.
Isn't that, man, yeah, that's sad stuff. The
sacrifices that these predominantly men make
to play football, to entertain everybody, is
just... Something else. He's only 51. Yeah. Oh,
that's sad. Yeah. Jeez, per guy. So another CTE
pretty much. Scratch that up on there. Damn.
Yeah, that's too bad. He was a good guy and a
great player. He was one of my favorite Chiefs
players ever. Yeah, yeah. I always forget that
we got him from Baltimore. Yeah, yeah, because
they had Jamal Lewis. Yes, they did. Didn't that
guy? No, it was Jamal Anderson from the Falcons.
He had the massive thighs. Yeah, yeah, that was
Anderson from the Falcons. Yeah, but Jamal Lewis.
Jamal Lewis was pretty good too. Oh, he was huge.
He was kind of like a Derrick Henry. Just a huge
guy that you couldn't stop. You could jump on
top of him or grab his knees. Good luck either
way. Isn't that weird that for a span we had
a bunch of really successful running backs in
the NFL? Name Jamal. That's true. Yeah. So at
some point in the past, women or whoever were
naming their children Jamal and apparently bestowing
football skills on them with that name. I guess
so. Hey, let's change our names to Jamal. Maybe
we can make the team. Yeah, let's do it. I'll
walk on there and they'll go, where's Jamal?
Yeah, I don't think I could pass for a Jamal.
I don't either. Right here. Well, if you've got
a lot more sun, you could probably pass for a
Jamala. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm seasonal leather.
Yeah. Yeah, this is true. This is true. But during
the winter, no, forget it. Well, three of my
sons are Lebanese. They could probably pass for
a Jamala. Oh, yeah, that's right. Yeah, they
could. Yeah, they get a good tan during the summer
too, don't they? That's funny. Three of them
are half Lebanese and fairly exotic looking.
And then my other two sons. are like the palest,
most white -skinned kids you've ever seen in
your life. People walk by and go, hmm, I wonder
what happened there. One, Louis is blonde and
blue -eyed, and Jeffrey is ginger and blue -eyed.
Yep. Cool. And both going to college and doing
well. Yeah. Oh, they're out of college now. Oh,
they're out of college now. I didn't know that.
Okay. Are they living in Columbia still? They
just still live in the town. Yeah, they just
like the city of Columbia. A lot of females there.
Yes, they are. They're young men. Let's see.
I think we got off there. We got stuck on the
name Jamal and kind of derailed there. Oh, okay.
All right. Well, the tush bush. You want to go
into that now? Yes. Let's do that. Well, I used
to be for it. Yeah, I didn't really like it,
but I thought, well, it's fair. I mean, they
figured out something, but it's not really fair,
is it? No, it isn't. No, after examining it and
having people bring it up and show it and point
it out and put circles around it and stuff, it's
true. It's a form of cheating to me now. Yeah,
the offense lines up all sides. Yeah. They are
encroaching into the – there's supposed to be
a neutral zone there the length of the football,
and neither the offense nor the defense can encroach
on that. Only the center can reach out and touch
it. And also, referees hate it. Yeah. They hate
it, so I think it's going to end. Yeah, and it's
interesting. None of the Madden football games
have figured out how to make that play and get
it into the game. That's because it's illegal.
Yeah, it just doesn't work. When they try it,
it either completely never works or the offense
gets flagged for encroachment. Yeah. Yeah, it's
one of those things that they're letting it happen
in real life because it's popular with the fans.
And we know this already, that the NFL will ignore
their own rules if it's working out for them.
Oh, yeah, yeah. And then a couple years when
the Eagles – oh, go ahead. I was going to say,
so to tell the league, hey, this is breaking
the rules, they're like, yeah, so? Well, the
good thing now is the referees are helping the
Eagles instead of us. Yeah. Yeah, we're not getting
any breaks this year, are we? No, no, no. As
a matter of fact, it's the opposite now. They
don't want us in there, so they are deliberately
influencing the game against us. And you know
what? That is perfect. Yeah. I think that is
absolutely perfect. Do it. Because now the Chiefs
can fight all year, and nobody can claim that
they would hand it to them. And if they can get
into the Super Bowl and win it, then it should
shut a lot of people up. They already went on
the road. They already went on the road and won.
And if they do a wild card and get to there,
then I think that's even better because they're
going to have to – man, people are just going
to have to shut their mouths. Yeah. You go up
to Buffalo, you win there in January, late January.
That's tough. Kansas City you win in late January.
Yeah. Okay. So you win against the other best
team both times, but you're a fraud. Yeah. So
anyhow. Yeah. And then the narrative to try to
say that it's the Chiefs doing this, no. No,
no. Because the other 31 teams would gang up
and make sure it stopped. It's the league doing
everything. You know, if they pick the Chiefs
to be the recipient of all the good calls, the
Chiefs had nothing to do with it. No. Because
next year they'll pick a different team. And
three years ago they picked a different team.
It's not the Chiefs. No. They're just the ones
being picked and going along with it. Because
why wouldn't you go along with it? If it's making
money, that's all they care about is they look
down and go, wow. So they're selling a lot of
green jerseys right now. So you're going to see
things going their way. So imagine you go to
work and the boss tells you, you know what? The
whole corporate has decided to make you an example
of our favorite employee. So you're going to
get a raise and an office and someone's going
to do your work for you and you're going to get
a lot more time off. You'd say, hell yeah, sign
me up. I'd strip naked and walk around everywhere
because I could. And then, like, a year later,
they're like, oh, yeah, we're done with you,
and now it's this other person. I put my clothes
back on. Yeah. But how silly would it be to blame
you? Like, you're telling your employer, oh,
you have to treat me this way. You have to. No.
No, no. Tail's not wagging the dog. No, you're
right. The chiefs are on the receiving end. The
hose is going to get shut off at some point.
And it already has. I think it's starting to
be, yeah. I think somebody's out there stepping
on the hose to cut the water flow. They are.
They saw, and they're like, all right, we're
going to change things up. They got a new sexy,
and they're going with it. And keep in mind that
if the NFL's official gambling partners don't
have a problem with what's going on, then you
can be sure that the league and the bookies are...
calling the shots and running the show. Well,
I mean, it really well could keep going on, but
I kind of look at since gambling is involved
so heavily that some people are going to have
a problem with that going, hey, wait a minute.
These teams do the tush push all the time, and
it's cheating us out of money. Here's an interesting
thing to think about. Missouri has just now legalized
sports betting. So you know a lot of people are
going to jump on and want to bet on the Chiefs.
Yes. So here's an opportunity to set people up
with expectations and then yank the rug out from
under them late in the season and make them lose
all those bets. Oh, yeah. So I think the Chiefs
season is going to go whichever direction it
needs to so that the bookies make money. I think
that I'm going to call it. Okay. I'm going to
call that. The Chiefs' final record will be whatever
the bookies tell them it's going to be. Oh, yeah.
Well, I mean, the Chiefs are in a transition
period with a receiver core and their defense
both. You know, the fact is, is the way the NFL
is structured, and which I have no problem with.
I have a problem with baseball that doesn't have
a structure like that. So they know what they're
doing, and the whole thing is they want you to
have to constantly rebuild because of money reasons.
And I agree with him. So the Chiefs always have
to be really inventive because they're putting
out a lot of money on players that, I don't know,
you know, Kelsey and Chris Jones may not quite
be worth it now, I don't know, but, you know,
they're putting out a lot of money. Yeah, they
are. So they have to be inventive on who they
have, which means a lot of rookies. And you can
always find yourself in the position that the
Bengals do now, is that they had to pay Joe Burrow
a bunch of money. And now they've lost him for
the bulk of the season again. I know. And there's
nothing you can do. I mean, what were you going
to do, not sign him because he might get injured?
That's stupid. Hey, Skippy. You just got to do
it. Skippy. Skippy. Where are you now? A little
Skippy ball -less. Yeah, a little skip -turned
ball -less. Yeah, where are you now? You know,
when things don't work out for him, he just throws
a tantrum. Yeah. Yeah. Bill Burrow's still the
best. They stepped on his toe intentionally.
Yes. He's run off to find Mrs. Golfenstein and
cry on her shoulder. Yeah. Yeah, we still need
to find her so she can turn Rob back. Yeah. It's
really sad. It is. Rob's getting molested by
a bunch of monkeys, and he can't do anything
about it. Although, you know, he's doing a lot
of work on TV commercials. Yes, he is. Every
time you see those little black and white monkeys
running around, that's Ronald. Yeah, he's there.
So he's doing well. And he's easy to control.
He loves peanuts. Yeah. Yeah, you just throw
peanuts in front of him and he goes after them.
Rob's going to be listening to this. Motherfuckers.
He's like, quit talking about me, man. I remember
that one time they didn't have a female monkey,
so they dressed him in a miniskirt. Oh, he was
mad. Yeah. Oh, he was so mad. Okay, all right.
Let's get off Rob. Okay. Okay, the tush push.
Do you think they should ban it, and do you think
they will? Yeah, I think so. It is clearly not
a legal formation. I know they've been letting
that slide. The potential for injury, as you
mentioned, is higher in that kind of situation.
The ball can change hands five or six times in
that pile, and you never know. How are you going
to tell exactly where the ball is at the end
of it? When does forward momentum stop? I guess
if you've got the chip in the ball, you can get
some of that. Yeah. As long as it's really popular
with the fans, they're going to try to keep it
around. I don't know if it's popular anymore.
It was at first, but now I think people are getting
tired of it because they do view it as cheating.
I think what it's going to take is for it to
start not working and then for some players to
get seriously injured because of it. Then people
are going to say, you know what? That's when
you're going to see it really happen. Because
the chop block. Is illegal. Is illegal, but it
used to be perfectly legal. Yeah. Or sometimes
they call it the crack back. The crack back,
yeah. It used to be completely legal, but they
were losing players left and right to injury.
That's the only reason they made it illegal,
because the fans loved it. They loved seeing
the players get just creamed out there on the
field. So it's going to take some serious injuries
for the league to say, you know what, this just
isn't financially worth it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And also, hey, NFL. You guys are being dry jacked.
Watch out for the Chiefs. Right now, you're fucking
coming in your pants. A little bit later, it's
done. Yep. I can see the Chiefs sitting back
saying, yeah, go ahead, write us off. Yeah, write
us off. I mean, that's what they do good at.
I mean, billboard material, bulletin board material
is what it is. You know, you walk by and go,
hey, hey, you guys see this one? Yeah. Look what
they just said about you. Yep. Yeah. And it's
great motivation. So, do you want to go on to
little Joey Burrow? Let's talk about little Joseph.
Okay. Little JoJo, again, is injured. Yeah. He's
going to be out at least three months. Yeah.
Okay. Probably the season, but they're saying
three months. A season ago, he was out all year.
Last season, they were supposed to go to the
Super Bowl, according to a lot of people. Yeah.
They didn't make the playoffs. No. Playoffs.
Playoffs. Okay, so this year, looks like you're
doing great 2 -0. Burrow's out for at least three
months. I think they got ripped off. They paid
him a shit ton of money. Yeah, yeah. Well, it
was their choice. Absolutely 100 % their choice
to pay him. But, yeah, look at them now. There's
millions going to Joe Burrow this year, and they're
getting zero from him. Nothing. And now they
get a... They're going to find somebody to take
his place and pay that person too. Yep. Everybody
else that they signed for large amounts of money,
like Trey Hendrickson, so they could play and
support the team and help them. Now all that
was you might as well not have. Yeah. You know,
with Burrow out for the majority of the season,
why wouldn't you let Trey Hendrickson sit out
the season too and not pay him? It doesn't matter
anymore. No, I agree. Yeah, yeah. So, yeah, you
paid Jamar Chase and you paid – Oh, I forgot
the other guy's name. Higgins. Higgins. You paid
T. Higgins and now Hendrickson. So there's not
a whole lot of money left. So anywhere that joins
Cincinnati, you're going to have to do it for
a smaller price. Yeah. I imagine there are probably
emergency funds available under the table from
the league as in whole because they're not going
to let a team fail. No. You know, they're not
going to let a team go bankrupt or get themselves
in unwinnable salary cap hell. It's like they're
going to get them some help and relief under
the table that we don't know about because the
NFL doesn't want a team to flounder that way.
You'll never rebuild their reputation. I'm sure
Jacksonville is subsidized. Yeah. Carolina, I'm
sure, is subsidized until they get profitable.
Yeah. So, oh well. Do you want it? Well, we both
think that Joey Burrow is not that guy and that
he doesn't probably command the salary he got.
But you know what? It's all fair and great because,
you know what, he got that much money. That's
what he deserves. Yep, yep. He negotiated that
with his agent. Great deal. Yelled at Patrick
Mahomes for taking less. Yep. I wonder at what
point Joe Burrow is going to start getting the
reputation of fragile. I think he already has.
I would think he already has because this will
be the second time he's missed the bulk of the
season. He missed another long stretch, too,
earlier in his career also. So third time. Yeah,
third time. Yeah, third time he's had an extended
injury that's directly impacted their season
and will. And it's bad enough when it just, you
know, if it happens, then it'll never happen
again. But those add up. Yes. And he's had three
now, and those injuries could recur. More injuries
could happen. Turf toe is horrible. It's awful.
Oh, it is like one of the worst things you can
have because it doesn't completely go away. No.
Deion Sanders had his toe amputated because of
turf toe. Yeah. So that tells you how serious
it can be. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it hangs around
and hangs around, and basically it's... How would
you describe it? Like you put a really loose
sock on your foot, and you can grab the sock
and twist it around, and your foot stays in place.
Yes. That's what happened with Joey Burrow's
toe skin. His toe stayed in place, and all the
skin moved around it. So... Every connection
between his muscles and bones and everything
and his skin was just ripped. And now they all
have to regrow, and it's insanely painful. If
he comes back this season... I'll be stunned.
Yeah, I will too. No matter which foot it is,
you've got to be able to plant and step on it
and cut and move. Oh, yeah, and even next season.
Yeah. This thing could go on a long, long time.
If he comes back this season, it's still going
to hurt him next season. He's going to have to
miss all of this season and seriously rest it
to be back to 100 % next year. I agree. I think
that's a decision they're going to have to come
to. They may have already made that decision,
and they just don't want to tell anybody because
people quit coming to the games. Yeah, yeah.
As long as you tell your fan base you still have
a chance, they'll still keep coming to the games
and buy your merchandise, even though you know,
yeah, we don't got a shot because this guy's
having surgery next week. Who do we want for
Gardner Minshew? Who could they dangle? T. Higgins.
No. Oh, gosh. No, we don't want an attitude like
that. No. Or Chase. Yeah. Jamar Chase, everything
that he said where he almost complimented Mahomes,
he took back again. Fuck him. Jamar, you picked
the wrong team, plain and simple. Don't be mad
at us. They had that D -back, Eli Apple, that
was always fussing. As soon as he got off to
a different team, he quit talking about the Chiefs.
Yeah. He was only doing it because he was on
the Bengals. Then he went to another team and
was like, okay, who's our rival? Then he started
talking crap about them. Yeah. The Bengals are
like this. They're disgruntled at their own demise.
They did all of this to themselves. True. I mean,
you can look and say, well, the Bills have been
in our way and the Chiefs have been in our way.
That's not our issue. That's your issue. They
made it one time, and that's because Patrick
Mahomes gifted it to them. And that's because
he had to take the game on his back. I'm not
making anything. Mahomes is perfect. No issues
with that at all because that's going to happen.
And that's how they made it to the Super Bowl.
It wasn't Joe Burrell coming out and throwing
that explosive last -minute touchdown. I imagine
that a lot of people tend to remind them of that
fact. You got into the Super Bowl because somebody
else would kind of let you in, and then when
you got there, you stunk it up. Yes. Even if
it's not completely true, that's what people
are telling the Bengals, I'm sure. I'm sure they
are, too. And, look, it's not entirely true,
of course. Yeah. But a lot of truth is to it,
though. You have to start looking at public perception,
and in a way that is more important than what's
really happening or what the truth is. What do
people think is happening, and how are they going
to react based on that? How are they going to
react to it based on it, yes. You can tell them
the truth all day long, but if they've decided
that they're going to believe this thing over
here and react based on that, you better get
ready. Yeah. You can shout all day, but that's
not, no, doesn't matter. No, no, no. Number one,
nobody gives a shit. Really? Yeah. It'd be like,
fuck it. Pack it up, go over there. I don't care.
Yeah. Yeah. So it's just pretty much like people's
political opinions anymore. I'm like, there's
plenty of room over there. So go over there and
speak about it. Leave me the fuck alone. Yeah.
I've seen a lot of, without getting into too
much here, I've been seeing a lot of people complain
about, well, I thought we had free speech. Well,
you do. But everyone misunderstands it. Because
the school doesn't teach you properly. Free speech
is between you and the government. The government
cannot deny you freedom of speech unless certain
circumstances. But your employer, there's no
guarantee you can write a free speech. They can
fire you because they don't like the way your
nose is shaped. That's absolutely legal. So if
employers are firing people over comments on
social media, they've been doing that already
for years. They have been. And it's always been
legal, and now they're doing it for a slightly
different reason, and it's all still perfectly
legal, so quit pointing. Well, let's see. I think
it's something about people celebrating someone's
death, someone's assassination and murder. Yeah,
that's right. I think it's that one. Oh, yeah,
yeah. You mean these people that are all loving
and forgiving? The ones that are supposed to
be tolerant and accepting and want to get along
and want to ban guns and don't want there to
be any wars, and suddenly they're shooting people.
Well, the last time I checked, shooting was a
violent act. Especially killing someone by shooting
them in the neck. Extremely violent. That sounds
extremely violent. And then for this loving,
tolerant, and accepting group of people to suddenly
be celebrating and cheering and hoping for more?
I'll tell you what. If anyone does that in front
of me, I will speak to them again. Yeah, it's
important to keep watching and see who is exposing
themselves. Oh, I know some people's true soul.
I know some people's true soul, because they
fucking let it show. Yeah, they let it show.
Someone who's having a lot of trouble with this
right now is the author Stephen King. Okay. Because
he came out with a comment when he learned of
this certain person's death. He said, you know
he's advocating stoning gays, right? What? Because
that's in the Bible, that if someone's homosexual,
you stone them to death. Yeah, there's a lot
of stuff in the Bible that probably is not...
You're supposed to kill people who get a tattoo.
Yeah. Or if you don't honor your mother and father,
you're supposed to kill them. Yeah, so anyway,
so he made that comment. The point is taken,
I know what you're saying. And then a man posted
a response saying, for your information... Batman
came over and had dinner with my husband and
me the other night, and he was wonderful, and
we had a great time, and it was pleasant, and
he didn't know a single time to drive for a rocket.
And Stephen King's response is, well, yeah, but
what I meant is, he says in principle he supports
it. No matter what people say, Stephen King keeps
trying to excuse what he said, trying to work
around it. But what I meant was, Well, yeah,
but... He needs to just say, you know what? I
was wrong. Sorry. I'm going to go away for a
while. But people aren't doing that. They're
trying to excuse what they say. And once again,
someone thinks that they have a talent at something,
that they have the right to speak about everything,
and everyone should listen to them. Yeah, yeah.
No, no. I don't give one else a shit what he
thinks. Never did, never will. It's so funny
when people realize that... even though they
have somewhat of a celebrity status or people
pay them money or people pay attention, it could
change in an instant. All of a sudden, yeah,
we don't want you anymore. Yeah. And then you're
just done. Yeah. And, you know, Stephen King,
he's got nothing left to offer, so all he can
do is just sit in his corner and fucking, you
know, bad mouth. He's got that new movie coming
out. I imagine there are a lot of people that
aren't going to go see his new movie. I won't.
I'll never support him again. And this is all
people making choices, and they're choosing how
they want to react to a given situation. Nobody's
doing anything illegal by firing people or shunning
people or cutting them off. It's, hey, you want
to say it? Go ahead. Here are the consequences.
Yes. And you know what? Everybody gets those
consequences. Yep. And it's been going around.
Now it's coming around. Yep. I'm just sitting
back while eating popcorn and watching people
destroy their own lives for their stupidity.
You know what? It's fine with me. And to speak
of Stephen King, he must be a miserable sack
of crap. He must be. Because he could just sit
over there like Roger Waters. Roger Waters mouthed
off about Ozzie. Why? Why? The only thing I can
think is in his demented mind, he thought this
would be a good thing to get him a lot of attention.
I guess. Boy, he thought wrong. He certainly
did. He picked on someone that's like 10 times,
20 times more loved than him, more than that.
And the vast majority of the music industry is
going to turn their back on Roger Waters, if
they haven't already. They already have, but
this didn't help anything. It's done. Even the
fringe people who are still supporting him. I
mean, I know somebody who was a huge Roger Waters
fan, going to his concerts, and I bet he's never
going to go near him again. Nope, I know about
everybody I know now says that guy is just...
One of the biggest assholes that ever stepped
on the face of this earth. Yeah, I think Jack
Ellsworth was right. Yeah, yeah, he's a see you
next Tuesday. His dad thought he was a see you
next Tuesday, and he was. And he proved him right.
Yes, he was. Yeah. I love that, though. But,
you know, in Britain, the see you next Tuesday
word is not like it is here. No, uh -uh. It's
more like a dick, a dickhead or something. It's
not like the, uh... uh very derogatory slang
term yeah it's used over here it's not as well
it's offensive but not in the same way not in
the same way it's just like bloody over there
it's like saying fucking yeah yeah and over here
it's like what what yeah i don't see any blood
on there you know yeah there was a i remember
a song called bloody well right Oh, yeah, yeah.
For the English mark, that's the super tramp.
Super tramp, that's right. But for the British
mark, it's like saying fucking A. Yeah. That's
kind of what it's like. We could play it over
here. Yeah. That actually is something you can
do. You can release a song in the English -speaking
world that has the most vile, disgusting, profane
words in it in another language. And as long
as you release it in a country where they don't
speak that language, not a problem. Or how about
the old skit, Sofa King. Yeah, the Sofa King.
And his Sofa King good prices. And they played
it on virtually every radio station in America.
There was nothing the FCC could do about it.
It's going, we're not saying the F word. They're
saying Sofa King. I don't know what the problem
is. I say the word shit every time I say shih
tzu. Yeah, yeah. Well, the really good shows
knew ways around it. Yeah. And they had a good
way of making fun of it and illustrating how
absurd it was. Yes. And that's a lot of the reason
I liked a lot of the shows that I did watch is
because they constantly ridiculed the FCC and
there was nothing they could really do about
it. Because the way that it was worded and said...
They use their own idiocy against him. Yeah.
Anyhow, we're getting off subject again. I got
some bullet points, unless you got something.
Do me bullet points. All right. All right. Should
the Chiefs, I asked this already, and I know
you're in favor for it, but I had to ask it again.
Should the Chiefs try to set up a trade for Tyreek?
Because Mike McDaniels, I think the GM, he already
got fired, didn't he? Or is he on the verge?
I think he's on the verge of Mike, but Daniels,
they're starting to call for his firing. Yeah,
I imagine they'll both be gone by the end of
the year. Yeah. Which would probably mean a complete
rebuild. Like, Tagovaiola probably won't even
be there. No. No, he's pretty much fragile at
this point because one more hit in his head,
one more serious hit, and the dude shouldn't
play football again. There's some sort of a chemistry
issue, too. Something going on there. They can't
do anything right this year. Yeah, kind of like
the Bears. Those Bears are something else. Caleb
Williams, I wrote him off. Yeah, for the longest
time I've been hoping that Caleb Williams would
catch fire and be a great quarterback, but I'm
not seeing it. He had targets all day long, all
day long to hit. They could have destroyed Detroit,
but he couldn't hit them. Yeah, there's something
lacking there. No vision. He doesn't have any
vision on the field. The game is too fast for
him, which means he did not progress into the
majors. That's the knock on Trevor Lawrence,
too, in Jacksonville, is that he hasn't really
progressed beyond what he was in college. So
you can be a backup, a perennial backup that
way. But, gosh, what a shame. Yeah. Yeah, it
is. Okay, will the Chiefs be a serious contender
this time if the O -line stays as bad as it's
looked at times? No. I agree. Because Mahomes
will get beat up. The running backs will get
beat up. There will be tons of interceptions
and desperation throws. I guess I never answered
your previous question about trading for Tyreek.
Oh, no, you didn't? I'd say no. I think he's
too much of a distraction. He's bad -mouthed
the Chiefs too often, and he's really not going
to contribute. enough to justify the distraction.
I agree, and I got this little story here about
more domestic violence allegations against him.
All right. Yeah, he's not a very pleasant guy,
apparently. No, I wouldn't want him on my team
either. I'm glad you said that. Yeah, I wouldn't
want to hang out in a bar with him. Because I
said that at work to a couple people. They're
like, oh, no, you've got to get him. And I'm
like, no, you don't. They're thinking about what
he used to be 10 years ago. Yeah, he's not that
anymore, obviously. And he's going to cost a
lot of money. Yeah, there's no way. And also,
I'm waiting for Jalen Royals to get back. Yeah.
I want to see Thornton. I want to see him keep
progressing because Thornton has become a real
threat. I really like Ty Cole and Thornton. Him
and Worthy are going to be one hell of a combination.
Yeah. Whether it's in tandem or one alone. Smith
-Schuster still doing good stuff. Hollywood Brown
had a few good catches. Hollywood Brown is starting
to look pretty... Like he can be that go -to
guy like we've had for so long. I think Remigio.
Remigio, yeah. Remigio, yeah. I think he is developing
into that go -to guy also. Wouldn't that be awesome
if Brown and Remigio could take over being the
safety belt from? Travis Kelsey. From Travis
Kelsey. That's what I was thinking, too. So you
can get Travis off the field more often and get
two faster running backs in and play in his place.
If you give him a third of the snaps that he
has now, I have a feeling he'll be much more
effective. Yeah, I think he'll catch more than
Kelsey. Yeah. And I also think Ramiho and maybe
Royals or somebody like that could probably.
be the other guy of that tandem. I don't think
you want to do it with one. I think you'd have
to do it with a couple. I know Kelsey still gives
you those tough contested catches, but so can
Noah Gray, and so can your running back. Well,
good are they if you drop the easy ones. The
two that he dropped that could have won games,
well, one led to an interception, almost a pick
six if it wasn't for Josh Simmons. Yes. Amazing.
Oh, I could not believe that. That guy deserves
an award for that. They showed him on the replay.
He says, look at this guy. This is a left tackle
running his ass down. I know. And he got him,
too. I could not believe it. I'm like, pick six.
Thank you, Kelsey. Bam, he knocked him out. You
know, a pick six might have been a godsend at
that time. It might have been, yeah. It might
have been a wake -up call. But, you know what?
I'm okay with Owen, too. Yeah. It's all right.
Yeah, you know what? Because we play everyone
in our division at least once, most of them twice.
So we can take care of ourselves in the division
if we do. Yeah, we still have five division games
left. Yeah, so we can take care of business there.
And then after that five, you probably need another
six, seven wins to get into the playoffs. Yeah,
they're going to have to play really well from
this point on, but they can do it. They can do
it, yeah. Instead of starting a season with 10
or 11 wins in a row, it's like, okay, get them
now. Start your run to victories now. It's better
to flounder right now than later in the season,
like a lot of teams do. Yeah. A lot of teams
get out of the gate hot, and you're like, oh,
those guys are it. That's the new contender.
And then. Flame out. Yeah, December they start
falling off. Yeah. Okay. So. The 17 -game schedule
has been around a few seasons now. Are we ready
for the 18 -game? We know it's coming. I don't
think we're ready yet. I don't think we're ready
for the 17, but we're doing it. I think one of
the spokespeople for the NFL Players Union the
other day said, don't think the 18 -game season
is a done deal. Well, yeah, it is. It is a done
deal. They would have never done that. But coming
up with an uneven amount of... You know, of games.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, they went to 17 because they
wanted to get to 18. Yeah, 17 was the step that
they had to take. Yeah, it was never the final
destination. Yeah. So I would say by the end
of the decade, definitely. Well, they want that
money. Yeah. And also, that's another game that
they can flux overseas. I really don't know that
they could take away another preseason game,
though. Because look how unprepared teams are
with those three that they used. They might start
earlier. Here's what I got to go by. This year,
right after Oklahoma won the NBA championship,
it was like a week later and the training camp
started. Why would they want training camps to
start the week following of the NBA championship?
If it goes seven games, it's a week later. And
all of a sudden, bam, you've got football talk.
Yeah. I think they may be thinking of that going,
you know what, this is a perfect opportunity
to influx ourselves in that little time there
where people only have like baseball and maybe
a little bit of soccer to look at or something
like that, the big sports. Well, you'll notice
that as the NFL season winds down and then we
get into the postseason. Suddenly baseball is
doing stuff and getting in there. Oh, look, now
we're having an owner's meeting and we're deciding
these things. It's intentional. It's like all
your focus is over here, so we'll drop our innovation.
Now you can all think about us too. Yeah. So
it's a very smart thing to do is coordinate your
season with other seasons. What you'll never
hear us say very much is baseball is smart. You
want to hear us say that very much? Yeah. No.
So you might write that down. What is it? The
16th of September at 1117. Yeah. That's the last
time you'll hear it from us. Yep. All right.
I've got a question here that I've pondered and
pondered, and I've got ten different answers.
So would Mahomes win a Super Bowl without Reed
if he went to another coach when he was drafted?
Wow. Now think about that. Yeah. What if you
were inherited Chip Kelly? Yeah. Or there's a
better one that I can think of, Kiffin. What
if you inherited Lane Kiffin? What if Mahomes
inherited him? You know, I think what really
sticks out first from that is how Patrick Mahomes
has matured and flourished under. The type of
environment we have here, not just on the team,
but in the city. Yes. And he could have gone
a different direction in a bigger place like
Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles. If he went to Chicago,
I don't think he would have won a Super Bowl.
No, definitely not Chicago. But then a different
team philosophy and thought. He might not even
be married with kids at this point. Yeah, that's
true. You know, his life might have gone a totally
different way, and he might be, you know, party
guy, and they'd be talking about all his potential
wasted. You see. You never know. And that's the
route that I took, too, is because you take people,
put them in different situations, and they act
differently. Yeah. And I wonder if maybe he would
even be a malcontent because he knows a better
way. Well, yeah, he is really fiery and really
insistent. And I'm not dogging him at all. No,
no, no. He's great. He's perfect. And in this
organization, they know how to harness them.
Yeah, harness is the word I was looking for,
yeah. But another team, they just like yelling
at them. It's like, shut up. Yeah, exactly. That's
what I'm saying. And then a lot of teams stifle
that creativity where the Chiefs find a way to
get it out there. Yeah. You know, because they'll
come up and go, hey, Andy, I got this idea. And
instead of like, get out of here, quarterback,
shut the door. It's kind of hot out there. Yeah.
It's like, oh, well, sure, let's talk about it.
You want to go to the board and figure this out?
Yeah. Yeah, they talk about all the time about,
you know, how Mahomes will come up with a play
and then Reid will get a hold of it and re -advise,
you know. Yeah. So, and those two working together
especially. Yeah. Especially. So, and here's
another thing I'd go by, too. They got rid of
Tyreek Hill, right? Part of the success that
Mahomes had at first. He had a better season
the year after. Yes, he did. Stat -wise, much
better. So, that tells you right there, it's
not the two people they had in place there. Yeah.
Now, winning that 13 -second game for the championship,
that was Kelsey and Hill and Mahomes all together.
Yeah. Without those three people, you would not
have done that. No. So. But anyhow, I'm with
you. Yeah. I think, oh, do you think he would
win one or not? I'm going to say no. He would
have been like Dan Marino. You know, all the
talent, putting up great numbers, but the rest
of the team lets him down. Oh, yeah. Well, I
mean, look at Reed. Reed, like, looked, and he
figured that Sutton, Bob Sutton, was not getting
it done, which was pretty easy to figure out.
Yeah. And he's like, well, I need to take that
next step on defense. Spagnuolo was available,
and he looked at him and said, that is the guy.
A lot of head coaches might have been intimidated
and said, I'm not hiring him. Reed didn't care.
He was like, no, I want somebody here that can
do this and do it right, so I'm going to get
Spagnuolo. That type of no ego lends to winning.
And then be able to turn the defense over and
say. Do it your way. That's what I hired you
for. He pretty much admits it, too. He's like,
I don't know. I got spags over there for that.
I'm an offense guy. All right. Is NFL tired of
the Chiefs? Yes. Yeah. Very much. Yep. And it's
mostly because the NFL fans have gotten tired
of them and the sales of jerseys have started
to dip. Yeah, it's nothing personal. It's just
the fact of natural. Yeah, it's fatigue. Yeah,
it's fatigue. People have Chiefs fatigue. They
used to be like, oh, the Chiefs are coming to
play? I'm definitely buying a ticket for that.
Now it's like, I don't want to see those guys
again. Yeah, I've seen them ten times. Yeah,
there's always something better you can do. Yeah,
they definitely, and they'll never be as big
as they were. Even if they come back and get
super successful, people will still be tired
of them. That original pop was something else
because Mahomes was such a refreshing. Yes. They
had that tagline where they had him as a bat
boy running around for his dad. And they have
him in high school. They have him in college.
Yep. And he was like the old American kid. Yeah,
he had a different, unique... He had kind of
the demeanor of an excited little kid. Yeah.
He was somebody who was very promotable. Easy
to promote. Yeah. And also a good person. Yeah.
He wasn't out doing stupid shit. Yeah. And then,
you know, the team started succeeding. Andy Reid
has been kind of a feel -good story. So it all
came together to, like, you know, perfect storm
of promote this team. It's not going to happen
again for Kansas City. I don't imagine in my
lifetime. Yeah, I agree. I agree. Do you believe
the main reason Travis Kelsey is still in a Chiefs
uniform is mostly because they don't want to
piss off Mahomes? Yeah. Me too, 100%. Yeah, loyalty,
reaction to the team, reaction to the fan base.
And also, all the games he won for you. Yeah.
You can't just throw them out. Look, I know we
were in on him really good and everything, but
the fact is he is royalty. Yeah. There are ways
you have to take care of things, and you're not
going to drop him in midseason. Well, number
one, someone else will get him and use him against
you. Number two. Get him, milk him for information
on the Chiefs. Yeah, which he'd never do. No.
No, he's a Chiefs for life. So I think what you
need to do is start slowly taking him out of
plays and slowly putting in people like we're
talking about, like Royals or Remigio. Thornton,
having them fill that role. Yeah, definitely
not replacing him with another tight end. Put
in another receiver. Well, Noah Gray was looking
really sexy, but then he didn't have a good game.
No, he hasn't been much this season yet. No,
and I wonder if it isn't the pressure that's
put on him because of all the talk. Yeah. Because
everybody in the world last year was like, put
in Noah Gray. He's awesome. Well, okay, he's
awesome as a backup. Is he awesome as a starter?
Yeah. He's not even a starter yet and is already
starting to sputter. Well, I know from my perspective,
last season was all about, you know, throw the
ball to whoever, Kelsey, Gray, receivers, et
cetera. During the offseason, they kept talking
about the receivers, the wide receivers only.
They didn't talk about Kelsey having big receiving
numbers or Noah Gray. It was all about the wide
receivers. Yeah. And now we've lost two of them.
One to injury, one to suspension. So wouldn't
you just go back to using the tight ends? Maybe
they're not ready. Maybe the scheme was all about
using the wide receivers and the speedy guys
that run down the field, and now that they're
out, they're floundering for what to do. Well,
every time they try to use the tight end, he's
dropped the ball in a critical situation. He's
been open a few times. He's been open, yeah.
Whoever they've put in as the number one tight
end when Kelsey needs a break. They do get open.
They are available, but it's always a little
short stuff, and they immediately get hammered
or the ball knocked out of their hands. That's
something other teams are doing very well is
tackling us on the spot. I have noticed it drives
me crazy that it seems like every other team
in the league is better at not only tackling,
but the defender stays really close to the receiver.
Yes. You know, when the Chiefs are catching the
ball, there's a defender like an inch and a half
away. Yeah. When the Chiefs are on defense, the
receiver catches the ball, and the nearest Chief
is five yards away. Yeah. And he's got to run
over there and throw an arm at him. Yeah. I don't
get why the Chiefs are always so far away. I
don't either. I mean, I don't know if it's just
lack of talent or if it's lack of game plan.
I mean, because even if you're in zone, someone
comes into your zone, you run over there and
you start covering them. Yeah, you have to go
cover them. You don't wait for them to come to
you. But I see the Chiefs over and over. like
the defender will be on the wrong side of the
first down marker, and here comes the ball carrier.
The Chiefs player will just stand there and wait
for him to come to him. Does it maybe have –
And can tackle him. You think maybe they fake
blitz too much? And that takes and throws them
off the game a little bit. They have that second
or two that they're not there, and then that
shows up downfield. But that's where your safety
is supposed to come into play. Yeah, yeah. So
– Yeah, I mean. I mean, if your team is fast
enough, then you run at the guy who's got the
ball or who's about to get the ball, and you
make sure you're there when the ball is. If your
team isn't fast enough, then they stand around
and wait for the ball carrier to come to them,
and then they try to make the tackle. And that's
what I'm seeing a lot of. It's like, okay, you
got the ball. When you get here, I'll tackle
you. The good news about that is it's like Thornton
and some of our faster guys are waiting for the
ball sometimes. Yeah. They're already out there
going, all right. Here I am. It's odd that Mahomes
has been overthrowing people so much so far this
season. Well, he's under duress. Yeah. He's running
for his life. If he's in the pocket, he's standing
there, he hits that guy every time. So maybe
when Mahomes starts running and he's under duress,
he should start letting out this ear -piercing
scream so his receivers know, oh, pick up the
pace, he's going to fling it as far as he can.
I think start drilling them in the ass with a
football. Yeah. I mean, you can't use, you know,
speakers and the helmets beyond what they already
allow, but if you stand back there and just scream
bloody murder, your guy 50 yards down feels like,
uh -oh, I better run a little faster. I still
think paddling by the sideline is appropriate.
Yeah. Yep. Pull their pants down, bend them over.
Yep. Do something that boneheaded. And use that
board of education on them. The board of education.
And I want it to be a replica of old Sparky.
Gas midways, paddle it. I might know it very
well. Word on the street, rumor is I might know
it pretty well. I remember watching one of the
coaches also taught woodshop class, and I remember
watching him one semester building a new paddle
for himself. I did too. I watched old Sparky
build it. Drilling all the holes in it so the
air could get through and it could smack you
harder. He probably built one new one every year
just to scare us. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, he
was a maniacal motherfucker. He was, like, sitting
there putting these holes in it and looking at
it. He's going, you're going to get it, Mark,
and you're going to get it, and you're going
to get this. I thought about sanding this down,
but, nah, I'm just going to leave the splinters.
I want it rough and raw. And he had a big old
long stock on it, too. That way you could put
your arms way out there and just, like, virtually
jump. Yeah. And nail somebody. Well, here's a
rule idea that I proposed the other day, and
so far I've gotten good reviews on it. Okay.
The end of the game when one team's out of timeouts
and the other team's just running out the clock.
At a certain point, like if you get a first down
after the two -minute warning, then the game's
over because the other team can't stop the clock
and the first team can just run it out. At that
point, why not just say game over and treat it
like the bottom of the ninth inning if the home
team's ahead? They don't play the bottom of the
ninth inning. We already talked about this. I
agree with it 100%. Yeah. So it's like, okay,
at this point, all you have to do is kneel on
the ball two or three times. Let's just skip
it and spend the last minute and a half. Everybody
get on the field and talk and mingle. They just
don't have it. They're like, well. They don't
need it. And it's not like you have to immediately
cut away. You can still be covering the players
and the coaches, and they'll have an extra minute
and a half to mingle on the field and talk, et
cetera. I don't know why it's so important to
have them go through the motions of kneeling
down a couple of times. I think the only reason
is hopes that the ball gets slapped out. Kind
of like what happened with Philadelphia and the
Chiefs the last game. The ball got slapped out,
but it may or may have not been on the ground.
Well, I've seen that a couple of times when the
team is just going to kneel on the ball and a
defender comes flying across trying to tackle.
The officials go to them and say, hey, knock
it off, don't do that. Next time it's going to
be a penalty for unsportsmanlike because we're
just running the clock out and that's it. Yeah,
again, that's it. So they do it once and they
get reprimanded. So, no, I don't think there
is any hope of the ball getting knocked out or
a turnover or something. The league says they
don't want dead plays. That's like a minute and
a half of three dead plays. When the ball is
spiked, and I think the Raiders did it, they
jumped underneath the center with their hands
and tried to catch the ball. They've been close
a couple of times. I think there's some of that.
And I'm like, well, just go ahead and let him
do it. You never know, man. Well, spiking the
ball. That's spiking, not hitting. And it's actually,
you know, a hurry up, game on the line kind of
play. Kneeling on the ball is, hey, this thing's
over. We just got to go through the motions.
It's like mopping up after the party or the concert's
over. Why do we need to stand around and watch
them go through the motions and pretending to
do a place just so they can run the clock out?
No, I agree. I mean, they might as well just
go out on the field, and each one of them stays
on their side, and they just stand there and
look at the clock. And for the losing team, they're
like, great, prolong the agony. And for the winning
team, Fans of the winning team, I sit at home
and thinking, what's the point, man? Just make
it official. I'm not going to relax until you
make it official. This is just irritating. Yeah,
it is. I agree. And, yeah, you're right. And
they don't cut for commercials or anything because
the clock's running. So what benefit do they
really get from making us watch that? Yeah, I
agree. So far, most people I've mentioned this
to are like, yeah, I could do without that part.
Yep. Same here. All right. We both like the rule.
Okay. I've noticed this season in particular,
the Royals were in the playoff hunt, so the local
channels found a way to air more key games down
the stretch. The NFL already makes sure there's
a free provider for local games in every market.
Do you feel that will change soon, or will they
leave it alone? I think it will change. I think
so, too. I think they're going to start charging
for local games. Yeah. Especially since there's
a new change to over -the -air broadcasts. Oh,
yeah. They've gone from version 1 up to version
3 so they can put more information. Playoffs.
I didn't do that last time. They can put more
information in the signal. So remember when it
went from analog went to digital for over -the
-air? Everyone had to buy a converter box or
buy a new TV. Yeah, yep. Now you've got to do
it again. If you're getting any kind of over
-the -earth signal, you're going to need a converter
box or buy a new TV. Are they selling these signals
too? Because I think the digital, they sold the
analog. I'm not sure if it's a new frequency
or they're just changing the format of the incoming
signal. And if your machine can't handle it,
then you won't get a signal. Okay. So you need
another converter box. Yeah. So they're already
screwing with people's availability to watch
just free games over the air. They're already
starting to make it to where, oh, you still have
to spend money. And then you have to watch commercials
too. I think they're eventually going to phase
it out, whereas, yeah, there are no free games.
Everything's pay -per -view. Yeah. Well, there's
$2 a game or $10 a game. That's going to be the
question. And you'll still have ads to sit through
even though you're paying for the game. Oh, yeah,
yeah. They don't care. They're going to still
do it. They're going to start putting, I mean,
if COVID hadn't come along and pretty much wrecked
the movie theater industry, there were going
to be commercial breaks in theater movies. Yeah.
That was already in the works. That was already
planned. And studios are being encouraged to
make longer and longer movies. And they were
also being told, start working in commercial
breaks into your story and your plots and your
script because they're coming. Then COVID came
along and the whole movie industry is like, yeah,
now it's not going to work. Yeah, because now
a lot of them are going under. And also, Hollywood
is boring. Yeah, yeah. So much of the movies
coming out are so... They're designed to be something
entertaining and fun for the next week or so
and then they never matter again. Either that
or they're busy trying to teach me a lesson.
Yes. Yes, you still get those movies where it's,
oh, here's a lecture that's thinly disguised
as an entertaining movie. Yeah, they show a close
-up of the main character, and he's talking to
them, and it's all just a fucking message. Steven
Seagal used to do that in most of his movies.
There'd be a point at the end where he'd get
on a soapbox and deliver his heartfelt message,
what the movie was really all about. It should
have never came to this. Yes. Yeah. The guy can
barely speak NEM. Oh, gosh. Yeah. But, yeah,
I think guaranteeing the local games for the
local market is going to go away. I think so,
too. It's a little ways off, but it's going to
happen. Yeah. Either that or they'll give you
the bare -ass minimum. They'll give you some
low -def signal with crappy audio. It's like,
there, there's your free access to the local
games, but we're not spending any more money
on that. I agree. Take it or leave it. Yep. All
right. Green Bay has seemed to sneak up on some
people. Oh, yeah. We both thought they were a
playoff team. I didn't get my house. Do you now
feel they are a true Super Bowl contender? I'm
not going to say Super Bowl contender yet, but
I think they are definitely. Right now, I'd say
the front runner to win the division. Yeah. Because
the Lions are inconsistent. They can only seem
to score when they've got something to prove.
Yeah. The Bears are crumbling. And combined the
first two games of this year with the last few
games of last year for the Bears, it's dismal
looking. And I just don't know about the Vikings.
We'll see how their rookie quarterback goes.
But if it was between the Vikings with a rookie
quarterback and the Packers with a veteran quarterback,
I'm picking the Packers. Yeah, me too. I think
they're going to win the division. I think so
too. All right, I think they are right now. We'll
see. I mean, things change. Yeah. All right,
and then finally, a few months ago, earlier in
the year actually, Big and the Ball Biter sadly
passed away. Oh, wow. Should I still be talking
about what a psychopath he was? Yes. Yes. Absolutely.
Yeah. His legacy lives on. Yes, it does. He's
a ball biter. Yeah. All those biting and tooth
marks can't have been in vain. Should I even
tell the story or not? Why not? Okay. All right.
We've got some minutes to kill, right? It's only
an hour and 15 in. They can handle it. All right.
Well, this is back in my high school football
days. Uh -huh. And we had this big kid. I'm not
going to call him a psychopath because he has
passed away, but everything I speak at is factual
that I speak about. He had some, he was, let's
say he wasn't neurotypical. Let's put it that
way. Yeah, yeah, there, there. Okay. So, what
he did was, on his right hand, he grew his finger,
what do they call it, the one next to the pinky?
Ring finger. The ring finger? Yeah. and the thumb
he grew those two fingernails out and filed them
down into points they were like almost like knives
and you can do things to make your nails really
tough and strong too oh he was a farm hand oh
yeah yeah so he had i mean they look like cattle
chips so he filed them down and when you were
in the dog pile and he was there too If you were
the leg that he could get to, he would go right
up, right up next to your scrotum and have short
meat. Yeah, the real tender area of that thigh.
He would pinch the fuck out of you. I mean, it
would bleed a lot of times. Oh, it hurt. And
so the whole thing about this was that was bad
enough. But we used to, we were a very small
school at Cass Midway, right? And we didn't have,
we really couldn't afford a football team. But,
I mean, we did win state championships. We did
well. But the thing is, we really couldn't afford
a football team, so we had to rely on donations
from, like, Rockhurst. Okay. So we had these
helmets that never fit. They were pretty much
worn out by the time you got them, I imagine.
And every time you get hit, your helmet was liable
to pop off. Yeah. So no matter how much you strapped
them on or whatever, the helmet was worn for
three seasons. It was done. But it's all we had.
We requested white helmets, so we put the Viking
horn on the side. And that was it. You know,
a little sticker. Like, okay, here's my new one.
Here's my new helmet. So whatever his helmet
would pop off, if he could possibly get in there
in between your legs, he would bite you there
instead of use his fingers. Yeah. So we were
getting ready to play the Drexel Wildcats. He
was our arch enemy. They were just to the south
about 11 miles from us. I remember Drexel. Yeah.
And they were a tough team. Yeah, they were.
And it was September. It was really hot out.
It was like 100 and something. It was summer
slamming the door on the way out. Yeah. And they,
Jimmy, this little running back that we had,
fast little guy, he wore white because he was
playing Drexel. Okay. He was playing them in
practice. And Biggin was playing midway with
the purple on. Yeah. So. Jimmy had some sort
of jock itch or some sort of, I don't know, pariasis
or something down in his nether regions. Some
sort of fungus. Yeah, something, yeah. And it
was, like, really bad. He showed us. We're like,
oh, my God. He couldn't put his jock strap on.
Oh, God. So he had to free ball, which is dangerous.
Yeah, it's kind of dangerous. So Jimmy got by
Biggin a couple of times, and Biggin was not
real happy with him. Yeah. So the first dog poll
he did. Biggin reached in between his legs there,
and his helmet popped off. And he bit him as
hard as he could, but I guess little Jimmy's
scrotum was kind of hanging down there. He punctured
his scrotum, caused massive bleeding on these
white pants. And Jimmy jumps up screaming, screaming,
holding his fucking, holding his junk and blood
gushing out. And the coach is like, Fuck, shit,
damn. He runs over there. He pulls his pants
down. What? He's saying bite marks. He goes,
who did this? Who did this? And everyone pointed
at Biggin. So they had the health staff administer
to Jimmy, our running back, and Biggin got pulled
by the ear to the office. Oh, man. So anyhow,
yeah, so Biggin, should I still call him a, you
know what, after talking about that, yeah. Yeah,
he's still a psychopath. Look, we love him, but
he's a psychopath. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Sorry about
that viral meningitis that went to your heart.
No. I think that's what, I heard that he had
viral meningitis, that smoked him, and then I
heard that he had a heart attack. Yeah. So I
put together in his age and everything, he probably
had viral meningitis. Yeah. Went to his heart.
Yeah. Smoked him right there. Yeah, so anyhow.
Well, at least he was able to bite somebody's
balls on the football field. Yes, that's right.
So he probably felt his life was complete. He
probably did, yeah. Let's see, is he a year younger
than me? So he's like mid -50s, something like
that. Yeah. So I think he did good living that
long, biting people's nuts. Well, in honor of
Biggin, let's talk about testicles. Okay, let's
do it. You thought about that when I was talking
about it. Yeah, I started writing it down. The
word testicles has a Latin root, I believe. It
does. And you don't think about it, but it's
the basic word. Oh, here comes the truck. Hang
on a second. All right, truck gone. Here we are.
All right. So the word for testicles is been,
it's in a lot of cultures, et cetera. Did you
ever wonder before there was a Bible? I mean,
humans have been around before there were Bibles.
Yeah. Definitely. What did people used to swear
on when there was no Bible to swear on? Testicles.
They swore on their testicles. Because only men
were allowed to give evidence in court. Women
had virtually no rights. I think that's still
done in some things. It is. You put your right
hand on your testicles and swear on your testicles.
Yep. I believe that's one of the ways organized
crime used to do theirs. Probably so. They didn't
use a Bible. They swore on their testicles. And
then there's a lot of other examples, too. But,
yeah, isn't that fun? Wow. And that's how you
get the word testimony. Testimony, yep. That
is why it's called testimony, because you used
to swear on your testicles. Testament. Testament
is another one, yep. Another one. Testify. That's
another one. You think of all those people jumping
up in church and yelling testify, they're talking
about swearing on your testicles. When someone
gets testy, it's because their balls are acting
up. Yeah, yeah. Someone yanked your nuts and
you're mad. Think of all the times in your life
that you've openly talked about testicles, but
it was okay because you were testimony, testament,
testify. It's all testicle related. Oh, no, the
FCC is going to come after that now. So you say,
I swear on my balls, man. People have been swearing
on their balls for thousands of years. It's a
time -honored tradition. So in honor of Biggin,
we're going to testify that he was testy, and
it's our testimony and testament that he tested
everybody. There you go, Biggin. Rest in peace.
That was fun. Just know you had your mouth around
a set of balls. Oh, yeah, that's something you
can never that's like Cartman And then his penis
just fell into my mouth and I took a picture
Well, we've got a new skit coming up I need Rob
to do it though, but it's Rob's Uncle Rob's tips
for life, right? I've heard that, I think. Okay,
yeah, yeah, yeah. The first one was dick pics,
the rules to dick pics. Yeah. Although we left
off number three and people were pissed. And
I don't know how we did that, but we did. I still
have it written down. We still got to get around
to editing it and put it in number three. But
right now it's funny just to piss people off.
Yes. But what do you do if you're getting a haircut
and you have a male barber and he accidentally
touches your shoulder with his penis or his elbow?
for your elbow. Oh. Yeah, how do you get around
that? Because your boat was standing there and
he's touching your head and he just accidentally
touched you with his penis. I think his tip goes
away. I think so too. And if he touches him,
he'd take the tip off his dick too. Oh yeah,
yeah. It's like you're losing that tip too, man.
I think you need to jump up and beat up the first
paraplegic you see. Yeah. And then crush a beer
can against your head. Yes. Yeah. Yes. Okay,
there we go. We got it. And then yell NASCAR
rules. Yeah. Yeah. That's it right there. Oh,
I want to talk about kickers in the NFL because
they've been having a rough start to this season.
Yeah, Butker hadn't looked that good. No, Butker
was having some trouble. And then Commander's
kicker, York. missed two field goals, and kicked
the kickoff out of bounds. Oh, yeah, I saw that.
He's gone. Yeah, he's gone, yep. And then Moody
for the 49ers missed two field goals, and he
was cut. Yep. So it's amazing. All through training
camp, all through the preseason games, and you
still don't know what your kicker's no good.
Yeah, that's true. Where's the ball in control,
man? This is just weird. I don't get that either,
how you go through all that and go, well, this
is our guy. Is it something that happens in real
games, like they flinch up or something? I guess.
And if you knew the guy was not all that and
was going to let you down. Why would you even
have him out? Yeah, you're going to have to deal
with that at some point. Why let him lose a game
for you? Just do it now. Is it a money thing
maybe? I guess. Where can we save money? Oh,
let's get a shitty kicker. We don't use him.
Ask Carl Peterson about that. Yeah. Yeah, that
worked out so well for him, Len Elliott. Well,
there was one season where the Chiefs pretty
much never punted because they either scored
or turned the ball over. Yeah, that was like
– So for that whole season, they could have just
done away with the punter. Just, you know, hey,
if we ever have to punt, just use a backup quarterback.
Yeah, that's when they're winning games 47 to
45. Yeah. 43 to 42. I think they went to the
playoffs. And got clobbered by Indy. Yeah, that's
right. Indy punted once in the game. The Chiefs
never punted. Yeah. That was the difference.
Smoked. Yep. Yep, and that was it. Yep. Yep.
But, I mean, on the other hand, though, their
offense played well, too. Yeah, that's true.
All right. We'll see what they do about this
kicker situation. I also think that the NFL is
going to try to make everything but the field
goal part of the kicking game pretty much not
an issue. Non -existent. Yeah. Because kicking
the extra point, meh. Kickoffs, meh. Punts, meh.
Field goal, oh, yeah, you can bet on that. There's
tension. You can have the lead up to it in the
last second. Somebody calls a timeout. It's just
designed for TV drama. So the field goal is going
to stick around. I think the rest of the kicking
game is going to, oh, yeah, while you were commercial,
we had the puns and the kickoffs. Yeah, no big
deal. It's going to get to that point. The NFL
is examining new domestic violence allegations
against Tyreek Hill. Oh, yeah, let's sign him,
sure. I know. Yeah, the people who want to sign
him are going to think it's be fun and cute to
have Tyreek catch a few passes. And they don't
even bother to think about he's tying up a roster
spot and he's going to cost you millions of dollars
and he's going to start yelling at his teammates.
It will be one of the stupidest ideas we've done
in a while. Yeah, I really sincerely hope. The
Chiefs are just talking about it to get everyone
excited and leave it at that. I don't even think
they're talking about it. I think their fans
are, not them. Yeah, that's true. The league
is examining allegations by Hill's estranged
wife, Keita Vaccaro. In recent divorce proceedings.
Isn't she the one who had about 20 % of his children?
Yes, 20%. I think it equaled out to like 20 .3
% or something. Hey, no judgment. It's just I
think it's funny. That's what they want to do.
She was a main contributor. Yes. Barry Jackson,
Miami Herald wrote Wednesday, citing a league
spokesperson. So it's went to the league already.
TMZ obtained records of Hill and Vaccaro's divorce
proceedings Monday, which purport to describe
eight different instances of domestic violence
inflicted on Vaccaro by Hill. These include allegations
of whipping off a necklace, twisting intimate
body parts. Twisting intimate body parts. That's
a teeny twister. And in TMP's and TMZ's phrasing,
getting physical while pregnant. Oh. Yeah. Yikes,
that's just like make it extra bad. Yeah, that's
like went from disgusting to third degree or
first degree disgusting from second degree disgusting.
Yeah, I can't even, yeah, it's like a whole other
level disgusting. So, and it said that they've
been in communication with NFL and let the process
play out. Mike McDaniel told reporters Wednesday,
but he's probably the one that turned him in.
I would hope so. The Dolphins wide receiver previously
pled guilty to a charge of domestic assault and
battery. Oh, so he's already got that strike
on him. He's got three years probation, so the
next one might be a little bit of jail time.
Yeah, I don't think they're going to be able
to finagle, you know, hey, man, can you let him
finish the season before you lock him up? No,
I don't think so. I think that if he got convicted
on domestic battery or abuse charges, they'd
end the season right there and say, off you go.
I agree. Another thing that's really disturbing
about Hill is he's 31 years old and he's in the
fourth year of the Dolphins' contract, which
is his final year. And he's still not playing
well. I wonder how long ago this happened and
if the Dolphins were trying to move him before
this broke. I think so. I think that's where
all the rumors came from. It's like, before this
guy gets arrested and misses the season because
he's in jail, let's deal with some other team
and let them deal with it. Yeah, I agree. I think
that's probably what happened. It wouldn't be
much difference from a business saying, hey.
Our stock prices are tanking and we've lost all
of our suppliers, so we're going out of business.
Let's sell all our stock. Yeah. I don't think
the NFL is shy on doing something like that.
Probably not, but that's what these people think
of you. Yeah. Or they prop it all up like GameStop
and all that stuff. Yeah. And then they sell
it the next day. Everyone's like, hey, I got
this great tip, GameStop. What? GameStop? That's
been gone a long time. No, no, no, there's still
five stores. What do you think about the new
rivalry jerseys the NFL is pushing? What are
you talking about? It's certain teams have new
uniforms that are designated as rivalry uniforms,
and they only wear them when they're playing
a rival. I didn't know this. Yeah, I think there's
like three or four teams, maybe five, that have
these rivalry jerseys for this season. So they're
trying it out. So imagine if the Chiefs had a
special uniform they'd put on whenever they played
the Raiders. That's kind of what their idea is.
Or the Steelers when they played with the Browns.
They always fight real hard. So they'll have
a special rivalry jersey. They're supposed to
celebrate the rivalry. It's just a different...
configuration to sell an extra jersey. So the
backstory is this symbolizes the rivalry. The
reality is it's just another jersey. And if it's
an iconic jersey like the Chiefs or something
like that, they'll change it slightly or sell
ones with different colors like black jerseys.
Oh, remember the black jersey craze? Yes. The
Chiefs never did issue a black jersey, but I
think pretty much every other team did. Yeah.
It's typical. It's just reinvented. They're trying
to sell jerseys. Yeah. Yeah, and then a couple
seasons from now, they'll come up with a new
gimmick to make new jerseys and try to sell us.
Oh, this new jersey celebrates the 100th anniversary
of the Hall of Fame or whatever. It's like mattress
sales. There's always a mattress sale. Yeah.
Oh, my foot fell off. Let's have a mattress sale.
Yeah. And also, if you like a juice, one year
you'll get a Super Bowl commemorative one, and
the next year you get a Lamar Hunt commemorative
one. So each year they change. About the only
drawback I can see of that is you're used to
seeing the hometown crowd, and it's like if it's
the Broncos, you'll see a sea of orange. But
if they have like eight different jersey combinations,
it's like I can't tell what color the crowd is
because they're all wearing different jerseys.
I agree. I don't know if they even really care
about that. That's one thing that I can see being
kind of screwed up by the 19 different jerseys
you're going to buy. Yeah, Tyreek Hill is not
a commodity anymore. Tyreek Hill is done. I wouldn't
be surprised if he doesn't come back to the NFL
after this year. But there's probably someone
willing to try to sign him because of his past.
I don't see him possibly going into broadcasting.
I don't see him possibly going into coaching.
I don't think he's got the temperament for either.
He's certainly not demonstrated the temperament
for either. He doesn't have the personality at
all. He lashes out way too much. I think the
best choice for him would be at the end of the
season, retire, and then start a pretty much
no -holds -barred podcast. There you go, yes.
Where he tells about his whole career. high school
to college to every team he ever played for,
naming names, telling things that happened, and
just used the word allegedly a lot. Yeah. I think
that would be wildly successful. I think I would
tune in to hear what Tyreek had to say about
some of the things that happened in his life.
I would, too. Yeah. You know, somebody down the
way there is peeling a child, and they haven't
quite got all his skin. I wish I heard that,
the motherfucker. Yeah. Peeling him like a banana.
You're supposed to start at the bottom and not
the top. Yeah. They just about got all the skin
off. Yeah, that's good. I mean, it's looking
good. It's looking good. Yeah, they just got
the feet to go. It's a turf toe. It's turf body.
Turf body. I am loose inside my skin. I think
we're kind of waffling now. Yeah, okay. Let's
go ahead and go to the music creeps. All righty.
Hey, thanks everybody for listening. We really
appreciate it. The listenership is way up. Thank
you. Go fuck yourself. Oh, no. Looks like the
show's over, kids. Mark has explosive diarrhea
and can't afford a wireless mic. Fear not, assholes.
They'll be back invading your ear holes soon.
