Hey, my fellow heavy breeders, this is Dash Riptide,
your music news. Hey, this is Dash Riptide here.
I thought I'd let you all know, all you music
fans, that I pre -ordered the Aussie book, brand
new, coming out October 7th. It's called Last
Rites. I think it's going to be phenomenal from
what I read, and you should get it too if you're
a fan. This is Dash Riptide, and that was your
music news. If it's too loud, you probably have
ear damage, just like me. All right. We're going,
we're off to... Sports bastards eating muffins
right now. Yeah. Yum, yum, yum, yum. I've got
a banana nut. And I've got a wild blueberry.
Yeah. And it is wild. Oh my God, I opened it
up and it went crazy. So... Isn't that a series
of videos, Muffins Gone Wild? Yeah, I think so.
Yeah. I believe so. Alrighty then. Okay. Big
weekend, huh? Yeah. I have a bunch of little
things I'd like to talk about if you want to
go into any of them. Yeah. Okay. Fire them at
me. Okay, Rasheed Rice can now join the practice
squad with a cheat. This isn't bullet points.
I got bullet points for later. This is just topics
I think we need to discuss. Yeah. Okay, so Rice
can join their practice per their agreement with
NFL. He'll be available week seven versus the
Raiders. Oh, good. So what do you think of that?
I guess that's the way it goes now. I thought
it was still the old system where they had zero
contact and their suspension was gone, but this
really does seem to be a better way, especially
for the player. because if he comes back from
a dead stop of not being with the team, doing
nothing, he's not going to be useful right off
the bat. And also I appreciate it too because
he was injured last year. True, true, true. He's
going to need that extra to be in practice. Yeah,
when it comes to the bottom line, the NFL wants
everyone to succeed and everything to succeed.
So they're going to help Chiefs succeed just
like they're – helping the Dolphins and the Jacksonville
Jaguars and everybody else. Yeah. They want everybody
to succeed and make a ton of money. They would
love to see Mahomes' firepower show. Yeah. Because
that puts butts in seats. Even though there's
a lot of... overexposure to Mahomes and the Chiefs
right now, there's still a lot of value to these
awesome Mahomes highlights if they start coming
in. The wizardry between him and Thornton now.
Oh, yeah. Gosh. Thornton. We'll get to him here
in a little bit. Well, let's do it right now.
Okay. Brett Beach is a wizard. Yeah. He signed
Taequann Thornton, who the Patriots cut him.
Taekwon has looked like an Xavier Worthy in the
making. Very much. Taekwon looks like a thousand
yard guy. He certainly has the ability. And it
looks like he's going to push somebody down lower
on the depth chart pretty soon. Yep. And Juju
was brought back. He was here before and went
to the Patriots. Yep. And came back. So this
not only shows the Patriots as boobs, but it
also shows Brett Veach as the wizard that he
is. No one else thought they would go over there
and look at Taekwon. No one else did. I remember
the Chiefs have now transitioned. I remember
when they used to get everyone's cast off. You
know, some guy who's really kind of used up.
Now we're getting players that other teams don't
realize what they have. That is a so much better
way to do it. overpaying for Andre Rison. Ty
Law. And Ty Law, that's a good example. Yeah.
We now get them in their prime. Yeah. We don't
get them as an afterthought like, well, who the
hell's going to sign them? Yeah. Well, there's
only a couple teams that done. Chiefs are one
of them. Not anymore. And then we have an opportunity
to re -sign them for not an enormous contract,
a decent one, because they like it here. Players
tend to like it here. They do. They get treated
very well. I know the Chiefs get low ratings
in the players' report cards at the end of the
year, but those specific areas. But overall,
the players love living in Kansas City area because
it's so much lower pressure in a lot of places.
That's why Lenny Dawson lived out his life here.
Yep. And George Brett is doing the same. Yep.
I mean. George Brett was a California boy. Came
from California, loved it over there, admitted
to loving it. Lenny Dawson was from Pennsylvania.
Yeah, and he loved it there. Yeah. But the thing
is, is they both swore, I'm not leaving Kansas
City. And that's because this is their home.
And the reason it's their home is for a lot of
different reasons. But one of them is the love
affair between the fans and the players. It's
so much. than the relationship that a lot of
other towns have with their players. Mm -hmm.
We're not so much the what have you done for
me lately. Yeah. You know, George Brett has not
been playing in 30 -some years. But it doesn't
matter. People know what he's done. They love
the guy. They love what he's about. And if they
see him out in public, they don't mob him. They'll
leave him alone in a restaurant. Yeah. I saw
him in a store not too long ago. And he was signing
the firefighters. He was signing some of their
gear. Yeah, that was really cool. And he was
talking to them. And here's something that got
me is he thanked them. George Brett thanked them
for their service. Well, heck yeah. Yeah, I thought
that was classy. I'm like, you know, here's this
guy in the Baseball Hall of Fame. He didn't have
to do any of that. It's good to acknowledge that
as awesome as baseball and football and all these
other sports are, They really are just entertainment.
Oh, yeah. And also, George Brett, he used to
be kind of a feisty guy. Yes, he did. Kind of
a drinker. Kind of a, oh, would you call him
somewhat of a loose cannon? Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
I heard vague stories about him. For a while,
I worked at the Argentine station, Postal Service
KCK. And at that time, the Argentine station
delivered to Lake Quivira, which is where George
Brett lived. Uh -huh. and the rural carriers
would get all sorts of stories from the other
residents of Lake Quivira about George Brett's
wild parties and having to call the cops on George
Brett. That's fucking awesome. So... People out
at 3 a .m. in their underwear fucking shooting
skeet. Yeah. I don't know. So when they complain
to the mailman about it, you've got to figure
it's probably true. Yeah, probably so. Yeah.
Probably so. So... You know what, there's some
other stories I could go into about some people
that are famous around here, people I know that
have worked for him or done stuff for him, but
you know what, that's for another one. Okay.
But not today. Okay, so, Brett Beach, what a
wizard. Yeah. I mean, really, he always constantly
does this. You'll find Kedarious Tony. Yeah.
Trashy. Yeah. I don't know. Look for the smallest
penis around. That's who's doing it. That's it
right there. Sorry about your penis. It's small
and it don't work right. That's right. So you
keep making that noise, tough guy. Sorry about
your dick. Sorry about your thimble. I hope it
gets bigger. He's packing a gherkin. Yeah. Packing
a Tootsie Roll like P. Diddy. You're middle -aged.
Well, he's got a peach Tootsie Roll. Well, that's
true. Yeah, that's true. Or I assume. I mean,
I don't know. That makes it possible. You know
what? I don't want to know. You know what? That's
good. All right, so we agree. Brett Beach. Yeah.
Fucking genius. Amazing. I mean, we could go
on and on with, like, his acquisitions and stuff
that he's done. Like, he'll get a player off
the practice squad, keep him, and then trade
him back to the same team he stole him from.
Yep. I mean. Yeah, it's amazing. He gets these
little ancillary draft picks and does something
with them. Yeah, and it's also the people you
let go at the right time. Yes. Rather than paying
them. For Jarius Sneed, I was so up in arms about
letting him go. It looks like we probably made
the right move on that. I think so, and Tyreek
Hill definitely. Tyreek Hill without a doubt.
We definitely got rid of him at the right time.
We dodged a bullet on Tyreek Hill. I think so.
I doubt we would have had the cohesive team.
To win all these Super Bowls if Tyreek Hill was
still here being discontent. Think of all the
people that we got from that trade. I mean, Carl
Loftus is one of them. Reed, isn't it? Justin
Reed. We had to let him go, didn't we? Yeah,
we signed him away from the Texans. Yeah, that's
right. It wasn't Justin Reed. McDuffie. Yeah.
There's so many more. There's so many of the
safeties in the backfield that we got. From that
trade. Yeah. I think we received all in all that
trade with the draft picks we had. We had like
nine draft picks possibly, something like that.
It was something enormous, yeah. Yeah. And with
that, most of them panned out. So a thing that
I would like to see now is, okay, Jalen Royals,
I think is his name, right? Yeah. Okay. They
are touting him as like a real guy. I hope so.
They're saying this guy's fast, elusive, and
has great hands. Perfect. So we're going to get
a chance to probably see him in the next three
games because there's three more games before
Rasheed comes back. Thornton, I think, has probably
earned himself a spot. Oh, yeah. So the feeding
table is starting to look a little bit more narrow.
Yeah. So with all that being said, I go to this.
Travis Kelsey had another altercation with Coach
Reed. Yep. It looked like Reed came up and shoulder
checked Travis. That was awesome. He did. And
whatever he said was not nice. No. Get your head
out of your wedding plans and back in the game.
I think that's what looked to me like that was
said was like, Travis, you're going to have to
quit this bullshit. Otherwise, you're not going
to be in the starting lineup. Quit being a celebrity
and be a freaking football player. Yeah. Yes.
And Andy Reid, whenever he does show emotion,
watch out. Yeah. He was not happy. Matter of
fact, you see all the AI generated of him knocking
Kelsey out. Oh, gosh, it's funnier than that.
That's funny. One of the body slams in Hulk Hogan
style. Another one, he fucking curb kicks him.
Another one he punches him out. Just look it
up. A .I. Andy Reid beating the shit out of Travis
Kelce. That's going to be awesome. Something
I picked up on. Well, let's go back to what you
were talking about, the receivers. Oh, yeah.
I think we should get – I really hope the Chiefs
decide to let Xavier Worthy rest as long as he
needs to because we don't need him to hurry back.
At this point, we do. not need him to hurry back.
I think that's probably the plan now. I think
so. I think what they're doing is saying, you
know, we'll week to week. We were hoping he'd
play. It's all a cover story to keep you interested.
They know he's going to be out a while longer.
But they're teasing everyone each week. Oh, he
might play. Oh, gee, no. Well, I would like to
think that we have the Ravens coming up next.
The Ravens, I don't even know if there's people
out there on defense sometimes. I know. They
look so bad. That was kind of surprising. They
played John Harbaugh's much more short up than
that. Yeah. What were you saying? I watched the
second half of that game. I tuned in when there
was 14 all. And I would say Baltimore played
not as well as they usually do, not by any shot.
They haven't been. I mean, look at the game they
lost against Buffalo. Yeah. They fucked that
completely up. Buffalo didn't necessarily win
it. They handed it to them. I'm sorry, I think.
I was going to say, Detroit wasn't necessarily
playing all that great either, but they were
pretty evenly matched in their mediocre play,
and then Detroit got some good breaks. They punched
that ball out of Derrick Henry's arms. Derrick
Henry, that's going to be a problem with him.
Oh, yeah. You can tell it's getting to him. It's
the third one this year that he... The first
one lost the game for him with Buffalo. Yep.
The second one, I don't think they scored on
the second one last week, but this week was definitely
a mess -up. I mean, Derrick Henry, I mean, he's
still a great runner, but, man, he's got to get
this thing figured out. Not that I care. No.
I just assume us punching the ball out. Well,
the Chiefs are really good at punching the ball
out. Yeah. We'll see what happens. Yeah, but
it did not seem like the usual Baltimore team,
and I could see a lot of frustration on Lamar
Jackson's face, the sidelines. Would have to
be. Another thing I noticed, I almost always
see Lamar Jackson either with his helmet on or
a still photograph, whatever, but last night
he was there sitting on the bench with his helmet
off. He has put on a whole lot more muscle in
his head and his face. It looks like the guy
has gotten beefier. It looks beefier than he
usually does in his pictures, but I think he's
put on a lot of strength and muscle mass. A lot
of it I call the Mahomes effect. Do you have
a top dog in the AFC? I don't care what the critics,
whoever, the little skip -tards, all those dumbasses,
whatever they say. All of the people that are
there playing know who they aspire to and who
is the guy. That guy is Patrick Mahomes, number
15. They know it. Kansas City knows it. Now,
I don't care what any of the fucking whoever's
say. Those guys don't play the game. You have
Lamar Jackson wanting to beat the holes. Yeah.
How's he going to do that? He doesn't have all
the God -given talent of the arm. Yeah. Running,
yes. Oh, my God. And he's a good passer, too.
He's much better than he used to be. And he could
win a Super Bowl very easily. Yeah, definitely.
But he has people in his way. Yeah. If we don't
get him, usually Buffalo gets him. Yeah. That's
true. Yeah. It's kind of like you're the third
out of the top three, and they don't really have
hope. of ascending to the top, too. It's like
a three -way. Someone's always underserved. Yeah.
Yeah, Baltimore's waiting for the money shot
going, how come I never get it? This is bullshit.
I waited for ten minutes. That's okay, Baltimore.
You just go over there and run the video camera.
We'll be done in a minute. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Go over there and play Bob Crane. Yep. Was that
his name? Yes. Bob Crane. Yeah, Hogan. Same thing.
Same thing. Yeah, it's true. Yeah, filming and
all that. Both dead. Yes. But I feel for the
Baltimore faithful and for the Baltimore players
because they are good enough to win a Super Bowl.
You know, they've been good enough to win a Super
Bowl, but something always gets in the way or
lets them down or happens. I don't think it's
something Baltimore's doing wrong. It's just
there's more they could do, I think. Yeah, it's
just like the runners -up that can't get past.
I mean, it's just the top two were the top two
solid, and that would be Kansas City and the
Bills. Those are the top two solid in the AFC.
So they just can't get, they can't. whittle themselves
into that second or first seed ever because they're
always missing something, and I think some of
it is the quarterback. And part of the problem
is this. Okay, Lamar Jackson will run. He'll
run on a dime. Yep. Josh Allen, you have to provoke
him. Yeah. He trusts his arm, and he knows his
arm is his strength, even though he can run and
he's huge. Yeah. But he stays in there, and his
first idea on everything is, I've got to pass
this ball to this guy. He only runs whenever
it's an absolute necessity. And I noticed a couple
of times last night, Lamar Jackson was not able
to sense the pressure running behind him. No,
that kind of surprised me. Yeah, and he was running
like he thought, okay, I've got all the time
in this splat. No, he doesn't. Oh, no, they haven't.
They were sacking him really hard and good. I
mean, they're throwing him on the ground. So
there's something there. There's something missing.
He used to sense that pressure a lot better.
Oh, he used to be able to run out of the pocket.
Is he getting older? Is that it? A lot of wear
and tear. He's definitely getting older, but
it's also he's probably just so fed up of having
to do this over and over again. He's like, damn
it, we practiced these plays. Why aren't they
working? Oh, that would be – these are supposed
to work. That would be very frustrating. Yeah,
why do I have to keep running out of – why do
we bother to put this play in if it's not going
to work? Yeah. Lamar Jackson's age. He's 28.
That's not bad. That's like when the Chiefs threw
backwards to Pacheco twice in the game. Oh, I
know. And it was a fumble both times. It was
just the first time they couldn't figure it out
in time. The second time, yeah, he figured it
out in time. Yeah, he figured it out in time.
Yeah. But they did it again. It's a stupid backwards
pass. It's like Chiefs, screw the gimmick plays,
screw the fancy motion stuff, just get better
at, like, running for three yards and passing
for seven or eight. The gimmick plays need to
be safe from Mahomes pulling it out of his ass.
Yeah. That's it. Yeah. Because that's when he's
the best anyhow. The one that's rehearsed, it
looks to me like he's not so good at. The one
that he's just, like, running for his life and...
Going, okay, where, where, where, where? Oh,
okay, hey, Thornton's open. A guy's tackling
him. He's in midair, throws it to him, barely
gets it to him. That is what Mahomes is built
of. Not the, okay, I'm going to pitch it to him.
He's going to pitch it back to me. I'm going
to run over here. I'm going to act like I'm pitching
it to the slant. Instead, I'm going long. And
then we run around in a circle before we line
up and all that. You know what it looks like
to me is pandering to the crowd. And the viewing
audience at home. We don't care so much about
winning the game. We're just going to show you
something fun so you'll smile and buy a ticket
next week. What do they call it? Ring Around
the Rosie or something like that? Okay. That
was designed because the Raiders did their little
victory lap around Arrowhead. And that was to
mock them and make fun of them. Yeah. It worked
so well they brought it back in the Super Bowl.
And it didn't work so well. No. And probably
as soon as they saw it, all of Philadelphia's
eyes lit up. Yeah. Hey, we looked at this one
10 minutes ago. Yeah, that was on every highlight
reel, and I'm not so sure that wasn't a – well,
we won that one, but, I mean, that wasn't such
a great idea to try to repeat that. That should
have been a one and done. It worked okay, good,
put it in the books, mark it off. Yeah. So what
about Kelsey? Man, he's not focused. It's like
last year. His head's not there. He's got too
much else going on. He's doubting his own abilities.
Oh, without a doubt. He's second and triple and
quadruple guessing himself. It's a mess. Okay,
I want to go a step further with this. Okay.
What's the answer? Sit him a week. Sit him a
week and try to revise that, try to get that
hunger, that passion again? I think that's a
great idea. Under no circumstances does he go
in the game. Pick a game, deactivate him, don't
let him on the sideline. Put him up in a booth
somewhere with Taylor. Sit up here and tell me
which we'd rather have. You want this, sitting
up here with Taylor and being a celebrity? You
want to be down there on the field catching passes
and winning games. Make a decision now. I like
that. You can do everything you want with Taylor
after the season. But make your choice now. Well,
this in tandem with him admitting that he was
distracted last season. Yeah. I am still furious
over that. I know. You screw up our Super Bowl
chances because you're distracted? Yeah. No.
No, no, no. That doesn't hold water. You step
down. Google News tried to tempt me with a fake
story a couple days ago that showed some... stock
photo of Kelsey and saying, Travis Kelsey admits
he's totally distracted by wedding plans. And
then the goofy, gushy comment supposedly from
Travis Kelsey about how excited he is for a big
wedding. It's like, this is such bullshit. There's
nothing real about any of this. Oh, yeah. It's
just like that one last year when the Bills beat
us in the regular season. And they had that one
of Taylor Swift throwing her panties at Josh
Allen. I wonder how many people believe that.
Probably a few. Yeah. I saw it. I saw it. It
was on there. Yep. All right. I like that idea
a lot. The Bengals. Oh, my gosh. What has happened
to the Bengals? Oh, my God. They got hammered.
They gave up 44 points. Parts and wins. Yeah.
For the Vikings. Hey there, slap nuts. It's time
for the Creeps Music News. Hey, my little pumpkin
seeds. This is Johnny Rohypnol with your music
news. This November, Bad Company will be inducted
into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Only two
of the band's original members remain, Paul Rogers,
the singer, and drummer Simon Kirk, the latter
of which said the odds of them performing at
the ceremony are very good. It's not a definite
just yet, though. I don't know. I know that we've
been approached to play a couple of songs Kirk
recently explained to Defenders of the Faith
podcast. I've spoken with Paul. Paul's health,
as you know, is not good. But I think I'm crossing
my fingers that we will be able to play at least
one song. I don't know what that is yet, and
I don't even know who's going to be inducting
us yet. Simon, we hope you are correct. We would
love to hear one last song from you, too. This
is Johnny Rohypnol. That was your music news.
And remember, bar chords are bullshit. 172 yards
and two touchdowns. My. Yeah, that's Carson Wentz,
the guy that couldn't do anything here last year.
Yep. What the hell? Man. Yeah. It really makes
you kind of think that the Cincinnati Bengals,
as an offensive team, is Joe Burrow. That's it.
And without him, you just kind of got nothing.
Higgins and Chase should give them half his paycheck.
Yeah. Half of their paycheck, yeah. Yeah. And
that's all on the front office. If that's what
they're doing, it's like, okay, we got Joe Burrow
and these two receivers, and then that's it.
Yeah, that's it. That's all they can get because
they've demanded so much money. And Hendrickson.
It was so weird to watch Cincinnati run the ball
on first down over and over and over, and it
never worked. The Vikings knew exactly what was
coming, a run on first down, and they just blasted
that guy. He had like eight carries for four
yards at one point or something like that. And
you know where a lot of this stemmed from. Jake
Browning gave two interceptions. Yeah. So would
you say that the Bengals are in trouble already?
Yes, they are. They shouldn't be, but yes, they
are. I thought the Chiefs were the ones in trouble.
No, no, no, no. I'm telling you, no. Hey, the
Bengals, don't they have a better record than
us? They're 2 -1. They're 2 -1. And we're 1 -2,
but the Bengals look like they need help. Oh,
they look like hammered dog shit. Man. And that
injury that Burrow has is not an easy one to
get over. No, it really isn't. And I'll be surprised
if he's ready in December, honestly. Yeah. That
thing is the type of thing that if you re -aggravate
it, it's the same as what it was. Yes, yes. It's
like picking the scab off. Yeah, picking the
scab off and you're bleeding again. So it's not
a very good thing to have. Yeah, there's no way
he can plant on that foot with that toe like
that. Just no way. And if he tries, it'll just
set back his recovery. So when he has to completely
heal, then he can start working out and getting
in football shape again. I don't see it. I don't
either. Again, I think they're telling the Cincinnati
fans three months and he'll be back just because
they want to keep Hope alive. They just want
to keep Hope alive. But they know he's not. If
he does come back in three months, he'll be crap
next year too. Because he won't be healed. No,
I know. Watch out, Chicago. You're getting ready
to get a new team. That could be. Yeah, Chicago
South. The Southland penises. Southside dicks.
All right. All right. That was all I had of those
points of interest or whatever. I have bullet
points, but you probably have some stuff you
want to get to. Get me. What are we thinking
on Caleb Williams now? Shit. Yeah, it's just
he looks like he's been ruined by Chicago, just
like they ruined quarterbacks. It's a graveyard.
Yeah, it's a graveyard of quarterbacks. Trubisky,
Fields. Go ahead and put Williams in there, too.
As a matter of fact, like we talked about, I
think the NFL needs to forbid them from ever
drafting a quarterback in the first four rounds.
I think so. They're going to go, look, you're
just going to ruin another career. No, we can't
have that. There are certain teams that cannot
be trusted with a quarterback, and Chicago's
number one on that list. Yes. Another one might
be San Francisco. Yeah, good point there. They
get them hurt so often. Yeah, that's the thing.
Man, if you go play quarterback in San Francisco,
you better have good insurance. Yeah, you got
to, yeah. What is the deal with San Francisco?
Are they just not spending on the linemen, not
doing the scheme right? Do they feel too slippery?
Well, you know, I don't know about the particulars.
I haven't looked, but I would say that they act
like a team that's strapped for cash, yes. Yeah,
they do. Yeah. I mean, is McCaffrey even playing?
Not that I've seen. They have, what, four key
players on injured IR right now. They're still
3 -0, though. Yeah. They haven't done so far.
But everybody hits a tough patch in their schedule.
Their tough patch is coming up, yes. Something
I noticed in the Chiefs game is Sky Moore. Remember
him? He wore number 24? Yeah. He's not on the
team anymore because somebody else was wearing
24 on Sunday, and it wasn't Sky Moore. And he
already got booted. I guess so. Oh, they traded
for him, too. We got a draft pick. Yeah, because
I kept seeing somebody in there in a 24, and
they wouldn't show the back of his jersey ever
on TV. But then the announcer said his name,
and I didn't recognize it. I was like, oh, okay,
Sky Moore must be gone. Yeah, that doesn't surprise
me. He was not that good. Yeah, he had a few
flashes in training camp as far as I remember,
but that's about it. Yeah, that's about it, yep.
He had that one run back that looked really good,
but other than that, that was it pretty much.
So, yeah, San Francisco, let's say that they
do eat by an easy schedule and win 12 or 11 games,
wait until they start facing the real teams.
Let's see, Eagles decimate him. Yeah. The Reds,
the Commanders probably decimate him. I think
the Rams are probably going to clobber him. Yeah,
the Rams will clobber him. Green Bay, even though
they lost. Sky Moore is a 49er now. Oh, you didn't
know that they traded him. Oh, okay. Okay, I
thought you were talking about him in San Francisco.
No, no, I thought he was still on the Chiefs
team. No, no, we traded and got a draft pick.
That's why I said the draft pick. We got a draft
pick for him, yeah. That went right by me. Okay,
no, that's all right. I'm old. It happens. Yep.
What was my name again? I can't remember. I don't
know, Johnny. Maybe it's written on my underwear.
It says Calvin Klein. Yeah, that's it. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. Or let's see, it's written on the
luggage there. Samsonite. Yeah, my name is Samsonite.
Yeah, it is. What is that, Dumb and Dumber? Slappy,
silly, stupid. Oh, Samsonite. Look, it's right
here. Slappy, silly, stupid. He's coming up with
S names for the lady. I forgot. Something else,
too. Sippin' Thal Skank. Slug. Yeah. Slimy. Ooh.
So, anyhow. Oh, a little shout -out. I read this
morning where Johnny Derrick is going to be the
Grand Marshal of Kansas Speedway at a race coming
up. I saw that, too. Good for him. So, congratulations.
And suck it, 98 .9 The Rock. Yeah, I look for
him to be on the Fox. Yeah, probably so. I look
for 101 The Fox. I'm sure there's no compete
at least until the end of the year. Yeah. That's
the way they do it. They want you to forget about
them before they kick you in the face. But at
least 98 .9 still has Lazlo. Yeah. Okay. Well,
I guess some people still like him. Well, the
ratings don't look like they're doing that bad.
And I'll have to admit I'm wrong so far. I certainly
don't see the attraction, but there again. I
don't either. There's something for everybody,
I guess. Yeah. Well, for one, they're not trying
to sell commercials, it doesn't sound like, because
the last couple months Johnny was on, they did
all these public service announcements during
his spots, and now they're going to Velazlo.
Oh, my. So I think it's a cheaper option, and
they don't really give a shit about the ratings,
per se, so much. Yeah. It's kind of a... Give
and take. There's an audience out there that
Laszlo will appeal to. Yeah. But does anyone
want to advertise to those people? Well, right
now I'd say no from the advertisements that I
saw. Or the public service announcement. But
that was happening on Johnny's show too. So that
indicated to me like they're so low staffed.
Yeah. And probably not, well, they weren't making
money. That's why they were sold. Yeah. So. That's
pretty bad if you can't make money at a radio
station. Seriously, you're doing something wrong.
Yeah, well. All you have to do is pander to the
audience. Yeah. There you go. All done. Successful
business. I'll tell you who does that very well
is Urban Radio. Yes. Urban Radio is fantastic
at pandering to their audience. Yep. They figure
out what the people listening want to hear, and
that's what they tell them. Yeah, yep, yep. And
their DJ is like 103 .3. are really good at,
hey, come on down, get your free scissors, and
come on in here. I'm going to be the guy in the
top hat, and the third caller gets the, you know,
they're really, really good at pimping what they're
doing. I mean, I even almost want to go down
there. They've hired the right consultants. Yes.
They definitely have hired the right consultants
who have figured out who their audience is, who's
listening, who will respond. These other radio
stations, it's like, oh, well, last year this
is who was listening, so you can't go by last
year. Yeah. They get stuck in their ways. They
decide this is the radio station we want to be.
It's like, okay, but you're in the radio station
no one wants to listen to. Yeah, I know. The
rock chains are imaging everything, all of it.
They're voice guys. A lot of them are gone, it
sounds like. So what I'm looking at here is I
think that, like, You're not going to see Johnny
there in the mornings on Fox. No, I wouldn't
say. Probably the afternoons or evenings because
that's where you got the two older guys that
are coming up, you know, like Medlock. Yeah.
Medlock is probably 70s. And I know Chuck Nasty
is. He's at least 72 or something like that,
maybe 73. So you're looking at a couple guys
that are probably looking at hanging it up here
before too much longer. True, true. So I think
that's where Dara comes in, and they're like,
you know, they're not going to get rid of either
of these guys. They're going to have to step
down because both of them do very well still.
Yeah. So either that or they want to create old
versus new, which would Dara go in the afternoon
against that chick that they hired for afternoons
on the rock. She's from New Orleans or something.
I don't know. Yeah, she's probably still down
there and just phoning it in. Yeah, probably.
Nobody actually lives here anymore. They do it
all remotely. Yeah, she looks at the wire and
goes, okay, it's 85 and sunny. Okay, all right.
It's not like the people in the studios ever
push a button or play a song or interact with
anything. They just sit there in front of the
microphone and somebody does all the work behind
them. Yeah. They can sit in front of that microphone
at home. Oh, yeah. No, easily. They don't have
to be there at all. No, a lot of them do that.
A lot of them have their own studios, and then
they'll have fake call -ins and stuff, and it'll
sound like they're live. Hey, now we're going
to go to Jenny. Jenny is over at the Price Chopper
on Warnall. I saw a show about, it was a woman
who was the morning DJ in four different cities.
And she didn't live in any of them. But the stations
would coordinate the breaks so that she never
had two breaks at the same time. So she'd sit
in her studio at home, and the engineer would
say, okay, the Nashville station is coming up
for break next. Here's the weather and traffic
for Nashville. So she'd grab that. She'd read
it. She'd pretend she was in Nashville. And then,
like, 20 seconds later, like, okay, the New Orleans
station is coming up now. Here's what's happening
in New Orleans. Read this. And so she just did
that seamlessly, and all of those cities thought
that she was right there, talking about everything
happening, the weather, the traffic, you know.
Well, they do like they do program directors.
Generally, most likely, most program directors
are, like, quarterly. Like, this section of the
country, this guy does 20 stations over in this
area, you know. When they used to be right there
in -house, we'd walk in and go, hey, can I speak
to the program director? Yeah, sure, hang on,
let me go get it. Yeah, that person had an office
you could go to. Yeah, yeah, now it's kind of
like a... Somebody got an email. Well, I've got
to find out the extension. Hang on. Let's see,
what's the time zone? Is our program director
in? Oh, shit, I can't remember. Oh, no, he's
already gone. It's Eastern time. It's 4 o 'clock.
He just left. The door just shut. Sorry. Anyhow,
oh, should we go ahead and get back to sports?
I guess so. Sorry, I derailed us. I think it
started with a Grand Marshal. Yes, it started
with Johnny Deere. Yeah, okay. So good for you,
Johnny. Awesome. Yeah. Yeah. So, and he's not
a vengeful guy. He could go out there with a
Rock Sucks t -shirt or something. No, he wasn't
mad at all. He was just kind of like, eh, 32
years, I didn't think it'd last one. He knows
it's business. Yeah. Oh, yeah. You know, I make
fun of my old company, but then again, business
is business. Yeah. You start dipping into someone's
wallet or they think you are or whatever. And
you realize they never were there for anything
but business. Yeah, that was the part that I
protested the most was the fakery. Yeah. Yeah,
it's like, don't ever ask me how my mom's doing
when you're willing to cut my throat. Yeah. Fuck
you. Absolutely. Yeah. Don't ask how the fam
is. They're fucking, they're starving, bitch.
That's how the fam is. I remember we had one
person at the post office get up and try to preach
the team mentality. You know, oh, we're on a
team and we pull together. And I made the comment
to the guy next to me. He said, the only people
on my team have shared my last name and live
in my house. That's my team. The rest of these
people here, you're co -workers. I ain't on your
fucking team, man. So you get that lovey -dovey
fucking hug -each -other bullshit on out of here.
I love that. It was so awesome having a union.
Oh, yeah. Double barrel flip -offs all the time.
And the thing is, once someone wins that, then
you can gloat. Nothing you can do about it, dumbass.
You're stupid. I'm not. I used to hound one supervisor
because he lost agreements where he was proven
that he was deliberately lying. So I just called
him a liar every chance I could. He's already
proven he's a liar. He lost that arbitration
case because he's a liar. We know he's a liar.
He couldn't say a damn thing because it had been
proven in court that he was a liar. Oh, I love
that. So I called him a liar every chance I had.
Sure wore a shirt that said, my boss is a liar.
Yeah, there you go. That's funny. I even told
all the new hires, see that guy? He's a liar.
He will lie right to your face. Don't believe
a word he says. Nothing they could do because
it was the truth. True. Yep. Awesome. All right,
you got some stuff you want to go into, sports
-wise? Oh, my gosh. I'm kind of ill -prepared
here. I've got more stuff. Yeah, that's great.
We've got a new puppy, and that's consuming an
enormous amount of my time and energy. Oh, I
understand. I was trying to work on this story
about the top ten most expensive guitars ever
sold. and I wasn't able to get it finished. That's
okay. I'll find it and I'll get it next time.
That's all right. We'll do it next week. No big
deal. The NFL, I'm going into bullet points now.
Excellent. The NFL has admitted that the Eagles
were off sides on a couple of tush -push plays.
They told the refs to watch it closely and to
call it when it happens. I love that. Goodbye,
tush -push. Yeah, yeah, that's what I was going
to say. Is this the beginning or the end of the
play? Yes. Yeah, because it doesn't work if they
don't jump off sides like that. Nope, it doesn't.
No? Listen, the Eagles, I'm sure, are pretty
fucking happy they got away with it as long as
they could. They rode it to a championship and
almost to another. I'm pretty sure they're going
to go, all right, well, we got some use out of
it. Yeah. So. Yeah, that's the best. Instead
of banning the play. They're just making them
do it legitimately. Yeah. And it doesn't work
if they do it legitimately. They'll keep getting
off sides and have to stop. Yeah, and they're
going to lose five yards every time they do that.
Yeah. Yep, so it's going to get to that where
they're calling it, and then they're going to
go backing up. So, yeah, so it's going to be
done. Yeah. All right. Goodbye to the ass blast.
Yep. I won't miss it. Because seriously, it was
becoming a dead play. That's the NFL's term for
a play where nobody cares, like the extra point
or the kickoff. They were dead plays until they
started changing them around. The tush push is
a dead play. It is. You know, it's like, oh,
they're lining up for the tush push. Yeah, I'm
going to go take a bathroom break. I know that's
going to come out. Yeah, yep. So that's what
the NFL hates more than anything is when people
quit paying attention. Oh, yeah, no, and I was
the same way too. It's like, I don't have to
stay here for this. Yeah. Yeah. And specifically,
I don't want to hear Tony Romo start saying tush
-push a million times. Oh, gosh. Because he says
it every chance he gets. Oh, he loves saying
it. Oh, yes. Yeah. So that's the other part is
the announcers are told to use all these buzzwords
and catchphrases and the latest terms, just hammer
them. Yeah. I get so sick of that. But I'm not
their core audience, so I guess that makes sense.
So they don't give a shit. Yeah. So the next
one here, this one, I don't know now. I'm kind
of thinking maybe not. Will Russell Wilson make
the NFL Hall of Fame? No. No, he is just. Was
it two Super Bowl appearances and one win? One
win. But the thing is, is his horrendous play
after all of that. Yeah, the rest of his career.
I mean, if he had done that right at the end
of a career, that would be okay. Yeah, he's just
not playing well. As a matter of fact, I don't
know about what type of a person he is. I'm not
accusing him of anything or nothing like that.
But Chris Jones was quoted as saying he kept
wanting to exchange jerseys with Wilson. And
he never could for whatever reason. And finally
they asked him and said, I don't want one now.
Wow. Yeah, so I don't know. Something's going
on there. Yeah. A lot of people seem to not like
him. That's interesting because you don't hear
a single thing. Of course, during a broadcast,
you won't hear a bad thing about any player.
No. They're on the cheering side for everything.
Every owner, every player, every coach, every
organization, every fan base, every stadium.
They're all just the best in the league. They're
wonderful and they're perfect. Rah, rah, everybody's
wonderful. Oh, and I just visited him the other
night in his tea house in Connecticut. Yes, where
he was reading to blind children. Yes. Yeah.
Yeah, exactly. Yeah. It's just too much too often
because I don't believe a damn word they're saying.
I don't either. I don't either. I got it. This
next one I think is pretty obvious, but I'm going
to ask it anyhow. Which one of these do you want?
Banana or blueberry? I'll try the banana now.
All right. Thank you. I'm hungry. I'm going to
eat something. Okay. This is true. Has NFL ruined
its credibility? As with me. As with me too.
I'm going to say, go ahead. It's to the point
where it really seems like the NFL just doesn't
care anymore who believes and who doesn't. They're
like, yeah, so what? This is what you got. Take
it or leave it. And enough people are taking
it that it's not going anywhere. And I really
don't know that it makes any difference that
they have zero credibility. Because look how
popular the professional wrestling is. When everyone
knows now it's scripted and they have stories
written out and they know who's going to win,
who's going to lose, no one cares. You're right.
They still will tune in and watch. The only thing
that's going to be a problem is the gambling
side. Yeah. Because when enough people realize
that this is, you know, betting on the NFL is
like betting on how the next episode of Two and
a Half Men is going to end when it's already
scripted and written, you know, it doesn't make
sense to bet on that. That would be the problem
with the NFL. They have to keep enough of it
real that people still want to bet on it. Yeah,
you're right. Yeah, to me it's ruined my credibility,
but I don't think it has for the majority of
the fans. No. I hear people talk. They're aware
that the NFL is flawed. Yeah. But they still
believe them for the most part. Yeah. There's
a lot of momentum there where people say. You
know, oh, they wouldn't be risking everything
on being fake or fixing this. Well, yeah, they
would because they've already been doing it.
You just didn't realize that. Well, the reason
people don't know is because they don't actually
realize what's going on. They never bothered
to check. Hey there, Slap Nets. It's time for
the Creeps Music News. Hey, my little pumpkin
seeds. This is Johnny Rohypnol with your music
news. During an appearance on July 8th episode
of SiriusXM's Trunk Nation, Tony Omi spoke about
some of his upcoming music -related projects,
including a full -length collection of new material
from legendary Black Sabbath guitarist. Tony
said, as transcribed by Blabbermouth .net, Well,
at the moment, I was doing my own album until
Back to the Beginning event came up, and then
of course I had to stop and concentrate on preparing
for the Sabbath performance. But I'm continuing
next week to try to finish off what I started
with this album. And then who knows what I'm
going to do. It's great, really. Because if something
pops up, I'll do it if I want to do it. Asked
if his upcoming album as a Tony Iommi solo record
would guess on it, like he's done before with
the legendary 2000s Iommi, the guitarist responded,
at the moment, no. I've got one singer on it,
which I originally thought of different singers,
but it started off as it was going to be an instrumental
album, and it's gone from that into a full -fledged
Tony Iommi project. But then I thought, oh, wait,
I want to try it with a singer. So that's what
I've been doing. This is Johnny Rohypno. That
was your music news. And remember, bar chords
are bullshit. They just check the press releases
and go, oh, so -and -so's out. Okay. Yep. There's
so much that we just take somebody's word for
it. Because there's no way for us to find out
ourselves. Yeah, exactly. And that's what most
people do. And I understand that. You know, they're
driving down the road, and someone goes, oh,
so -and -so's out for three weeks. Okay, all
right. So -and -so's getting suspended for whatever.
Okay, all right. No, they're driving down the
road. They're not checking up on this, and they're
believing them. You know, they're like, okay,
that's what the NFL says. So, yeah, I'm finding
that most people believe them still. Yeah. For
the most part. For a lot of this, you figure
it doesn't matter either way, so whatever. Yeah,
that's true. But they are getting you accustomed
to the idea of accepting what they say. Mm -hmm.
What I watch for is when things start working
out just way too conveniently. It's like I smell
a fix. I smell something wrong here because if
it is just happening to work out this way, why
aren't you talking about what an amazing miracle
this is? Yeah. Remember the, what was it, the
80 or 82 Olympics where they had the miracle
on ice where the American team beat the Russian
team? Yeah. It was fixed. They arranged with
the Russians ahead of time that America was going
to win. And in exchange, America made concessions
politically to Russia on some border states.
What president did that? That would have been
Reagan. Reagan? Yeah. Sounds about right. Yeah.
But that whole miracle on ice thing, it was created.
It was set up. It was done. It was fixed. And
the Russians went along with it because they
were getting political concessions on the side
that we didn't know about. Well, you see, Reagan
was all about raw, raw America. So there you
go. Three seconds to the gold medal. One second,
you know, that whole thing right there. Who was
that? The announcer? Probably. Yeah, yeah. But
yeah, Reagan said, hey, we need a big, fat win
over the Russians. Basically a meaningless win.
It was a morale thing. And what the Russians
got was actual credible concessions on things.
And they were able to subjugate more people for
longer. Exactly. And all this rah -rah helped
get Reagan in a second time also. Yep. So, no,
and they also did that when they first got in,
securing a deal with Iran for the hostages. Yep.
At the time, people thought, oh, the Iranians
are scared of Reagan. No, he just made a deal.
He made a deal, yeah. Yep. That's what he did
with the Russians. But, no, the whole thing is
he was doing this rah -rah America, so he had
to do something like that. Yeah. Everyone's all
on board. Everyone's feeling great. Yeah. As
I recall, at the time, the U .S. military was
in really rough shape. Yep. Even though we had
a lot of material. there was a lot of organized
crime within the military. Dealing in guns, drugs,
you name it. The guy I've known for most of my
life was in the Navy at the time. And he said
he heard from Army guys that a lot of places
the commanding officers just didn't go anywhere
near the enlisted men's quarters because they
weren't welcome. and they'd probably get killed.
So here they are, the officer in charge, and
the enlisted men under them are running whatever
kind of criminal scheme and paying off enough
people that their own commanding officers are
afraid of them. Wow. I believe that, though.
If somebody had attacked at that time, the U
.S. military would have crumbled. That was a
scary time. Good thing nobody knew that. Yeah.
But Reagan built everything back up. Yeah. And
got it back up to par. And now I think we're
building, we're working on building things again,
aren't we? I mean, I believe so. So, all right.
Who's broadcasting career will last longer? Tony
Romo or Tom Brady? Brady. Brady. Whoa, wait a
second. Wait, no, no, no. Romo. Romo. Yeah, I'm
going to say Romo. Romo's already been at it
for, what, 10 years? Yeah. Brady is already getting
a lot of criticism because he was seen in the
booth over there at Raiders, and he had a headset
on, and he's trying to do Thursday, and then
he's trying to do every day. Yep. As a member
of the broadcast team, he gets access to the
visiting team that most people don't. Most people
don't let him in now. They don't let him in.
And if that's an opponent the Raiders have coming
up, He's going to learn stuff, and he'll pass
it on to his own team. I heard a guy on the radio
saying, well, there's no way the network would
ever let him broadcast a Raiders game. I mean,
they'd never put him in the booth for a Raiders
game. Oh, yes, they would. Oh, they would. If
it means better ratings. Yeah, they will. Oh,
they would. God. So how naive is that guy with
a radio show? Well, this goes back to people
trusting the NFL like I was talking about. Yeah,
this is a blind obedience guy. The NFL says this,
so it's got to be that. Are you sure? Yeah, yeah.
We don't question the NFL around here, boy. It
is crazy. Yeah. Yeah, I think Tom Brady at some
point fairly soon, probably in the next two years,
is going to be required to make a choice. Ownership
in the Raiders or their position in the broadcast
because it opens it up to conflict of interest.
antitrust, all sorts of difficulties. Well, wait
until there's a lawsuit or some sort of a scuffle
about it. You know, someone one of these days
is going to go, you know what? He was over here,
and we think that he took some of our plays.
We think that he got some of them and gave it
to their team because look at this and look at
this and look at this. It may not be true, but
the fact that someone can bring it up and say
this happened is going to be them, though. Yeah,
you create that amount of doubt. And you destroy
the gambling confidence of a lot of people. Yes,
and that's what they don't want. That is really
what it's going to come down to is does he screw
up our revenue. This is all gambling. Everything
is revenue -related, and the biggest revenue,
of course, is gambling. So there you go. Not
even TV rights. No. Gambling. Yeah, because they
really don't need TV rights anymore because they've
got, like, YouTube and Amazon Prime begging them
to show games. And then I'm still, I'm certain
this is going to happen, but we're going to have
an NFL app that says, come on home to every game.
Come on home to everything NFL. 30 bucks a month
and everything. You can even send a message to
Patrick Mahomes. You can send a message to Lamar
Jackson and tell him how bad he sucks. Whatever.
Because think about this. Give it all to Joe
Burrow. If YouTube can afford to pay whatever
they're paying to carry the NFL Sunday ticket,
and then they still make a profit on top of that,
the NFL could have been making that profit. Yes.
And that's what they're going to eventually realize
is that. We're going to spend the time and money
effort to do this ourselves, and we'll get that
profit that YouTube is currently getting. They're
looking at it right now going, all right, well,
just let it keep going on for right now. Then
we're going to get our money afterwards. We're
going to go back and get big good. But that antitrust
thing has been looming over the NFL for decades.
Every time somebody in Washington wants to make
some inroads, they bring up the, well, the NFL
is a monopoly, and we have to bust them up because
they've got too much control. And then things
happen. It all goes away. Yeah. It'll come up
again. Oh, it will. Has Baker Mayfield finally
become the top quarterback in the league? Yeah.
He was in Cleveland the first few years. Yeah,
they really didn't know what they had. No, and
we've always said this. They let him go. Really.
for something that wasn't his fault. His shoulder
was fucked up, but he played all year, and his
stats weren't good because his shoulder was messed
up, no offensive line, and so they go ahead and
just cut him, and Tampa Bay has reaped the benefits
of it. He went to another, I think he went to
another team before that, didn't he? Yeah, I
think he was somewhere else. Yeah, so anyhow,
yeah, we knew that Cleveland gave up on him way
too quick. And he's kind of on his way back down.
He's kind of looking really good like he did
in Cleveland the first three years. Yeah. I start
to wonder if Cleveland was looking for an excuse
to get rid of Baker Mayfield and bring in a quarterback
that their fan base would be more resonant and
sympathetic with. You think? It's like, because
Baker Mayfield was this, you know, happy, fun,
goofy guy doing these commercials with Alice
Cooper and, you know, being mysterious. And Deshaun
Watson had a totally different image. That's
right. You know, tough, smart. Likes to give
up. Yeah. Does whatever it takes to get it done.
So maybe they thought, well, this guy will. Yeah,
in a lot of ways. Yeah. Maybe they thought this
guy would resonate more with their core fans
who didn't like this bubbly, cheerful guy who
was making way too many commercials. That could
be. And so it's like, hey, he didn't have that
bad year. Let's get this tough guy in and just
remold our images. Play the Browns. Tough ass.
And then Deshaun Monson turned out to be a total
asshole. So it didn't work out. I think there
was something there. There's like, we want a
tougher image. Let's get a tougher, more gritty,
more fearsome quarterback. Yeah. Didn't work
out so well. No, it did not work out very well
at all. So, all right. So, okay, we both agree
that Baker Mayfield is in probably the top seven
at least. Yeah. Yeah. I would think Baker Mayfield
would kind of perennially be in contention every
year as long as his team is decent. I think so,
too. Yeah. Now, if his team is not good, then
he tends to go that way, too. Yeah. But, you
know, all right. Will Tampa be a challenger for
the Super Bowl either this year or the next coming
years? Before the season, I would have said maybe
not. But now I'm starting to think, yeah. I know
Tampa's looking pretty complete. It's interesting
to see how it's lining up. And I could see them
being in there. Yeah. And I think, really, they're
a couple of plays away from beating anybody.
Yeah. They really are. That was awesome to see
their throwback jerseys to, what, 1976 or 7?
Oh, I hated those fucking things, yeah, with
the fucking beer guy. Oh, yeah, Bucko Bruce was
his name. Bucko Bruce, yeah. Their colors were
red and orange. Those two colors you don't want
to mix on a uniform. Kind of reminds me of the
old Patriot guy. Yeah. The Patriots, they had
the Patriot guy on there. Yeah, the Minuteman.
The Minuteman guy, yeah. Yeah, they wore those.
throwback jerseys the other day, too. The Patriots
did. Oh, did they? Yeah. They even painted that
big old guy in the middle of their field and
squatted over about to hike the ball to Paul
Revere or something. Why? Why? That was back
when they were the Boston Patriots. Yeah, that's
right. And then they decided, hey, let's draw
in fans from the outside of Boston. We'll just
call ourselves New England. And it also doesn't
sound as obnoxious. Yeah. Hey, who are you rooting
for? The Boston Patriots. Yeah. Hey, the Chiefs
would change their name to the Midwest Chiefs.
There we go. So that way the whole Midwest, all,
what, 12 states, they have to be Chiefs fans
because we put them in our name. There we go.
Let's see. Let's see. The seven counties and
surrounding areas, Chiefs. Yeah. Yeah, there
we go. I think it's seven counties. No, no, no,
actually. Yeah, I think it's seven. I think it's
seven, yeah. Yeah, yeah. All right, to visualize
that little pop -up they do on the weather. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. So, yeah, every corner it's about
seven, so, yeah. The seven counties and surrounding
areas probably all the way up through Minnesota,
probably all the way to halfway through Kansas
and all the way to halfway through Tulsa and
all the way to three -quarters through Arkansas
and a little bit of Tennessee and a little bit
of Illinois. There you go. And there you go.
Jeez. All right. I would love that, too. Yeah.
What the hell is this? That's the Chiefs' new
description. The Chiefs put their own redistricting
map through. Yeah. Oh, and they also decided
to claim a little bit of Arizona, too, because
their team sucks. Yeah. See that little red dot
there? Yeah, that's them. Yep. All right. All
right. All the current top quarterbacks in the
league. who will have the best stats when they
retire. Oh. So, and this is Aaron Rodgers all
the way through Jaden Daniels. Gosh. I'd say
C .J. Stroud, but maybe not. Yeah. Yeah. I'm
wondering how far away Josh Allen is. Some awesome
stats. He's not that far away. And I see Josh
Allen actually being more productive passing
than Mahomes. Passing, yes. Anything else right
now, no. But passing, well, and running. Passing
and running, yes. Yeah, he is obviously like
a super talent. I'm not even going to say he's
more talented than Mahomes because Mahomes has
all of the hardware. All of it to back it up.
Yeah. The biggest problem with Josh Allen is
he has Mahomes to get through. That's true. If
he didn't have Mahomes to get through, it would
have been a different story. Yeah. You can say
the same for Lamar Jackson. Well, yeah, the same
thing here, too. Because if the Ravens and the
Bills had been playing for the championship every
year, they probably would have split a few. Yeah,
they would have. Yeah, I agree. So, I think probably,
I think Mahomes is going to have the best stats.
And the reason is, is he's always played another
couple of games than most anybody else has. Yeah.
And, you know, I mean, the Super Bowls and all
that count as stats too, but sometimes the Bills
take an early exit. They have been known to do
that. This is true. Yeah, and sometimes they
make it to the championship games. So, I'm going
to say by the end of the career, Mahomes. might
possibly have 15 more games than any other quarterback
on the league. True. And he's already got great
staff, so I'm going to go ahead and say Mahomes
by a little bit. That makes sense. Yeah. And
plus, he's got a – if things work out the way
they kind of look like they might, with Worthy,
Thornton, hopefully Royals, and Rice, and Brown,
and – Kelsey and Gray. Here comes the microphone
condom. There we go. With everybody that we have
on the receiving cores, it should be a pretty
dynamic season. You know, not all the time people
figure you out. Yeah. But I would say a majority
of the games, there's going to be a lot of firepower.
Yeah. Yeah. A lot of variables, it's me. You
can kind of see when Mahomes and company started
figuring out what was going on. Yeah. Much better
second half than first half. Yeah, they're slowly
getting that huge pass in. Yeah. I mean, and
I like the fact that Thornton, the first one
he dropped. Yeah. We're going to throw another
one to you. Yeah. And you're going to catch it.
Yes. And it's going to be the same exact thing.
And he's going to be, the defender's going to
be in the same exact area. And you're going to
get it this time. And he did. That right there,
to me, proved to me like Thornton. is going to
be a guy that's got to be reckoned with. Yeah,
yeah. So glad he's on the team. I am, too. And
I picked him up from New England, and New England,
once again, is sitting over there with pie on
their face. Yes. Well, yesterday I had jury duty,
and I was next to a guy that he grew up in. Was
it New Jersey? I think it was. I think it was
New Jersey, something like, no, Connecticut.
Oh, okay. And he was a huge Patriots fan. And
he said, I was telling him about that, I go,
yeah, he goes, he said, yeah, he goes, and calling
me the Patriots, he says, number one, it was
Brady the whole time. And number two, they can't
hold on, they don't give a quarterback any type
of chance at all. Yeah, they move on pretty quick,
don't they? Yeah, they do. So someone like Thornton
is going to get overlooked. They're going to
go, oh, they're all no good. Let's get in some
new guys. Yeah. Yeah, you've got to leave time
to get the quarterbacking rapport with everybody
else. Yeah. And he needs good coaching and good
assistance. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, they lost Brady
and then Belichick, so they really had to start
over from scratch on how to be a patron. Yeah,
Robert Kraft should have let Belichick go and
kept Brady, but that didn't happen. Yeah. All
right, will Lil Joey Burrow come back in late
December, as promised? I'm going to say no. And
I think that the only reason why he doesn't is
because the team will be totally out of it by
then and it won't be any point. Yeah. But if
the team is in any kind of contention, they're
going to rush him back and then screw him up
for next year. If I was them, I would hope that
that's not the case. Yeah, yeah. Well, the way
that Jake Browning is playing, I'm going to say,
and the rest of the team, I'm going to say that's
probably not going to be an issue. Yeah, I would
say. I look for the Bengals to... find a new
quarterback for the interim, probably next week
or the week after. They're going to find somebody
else than Browning. Gardner, Minshew, who can
we get? Well, if they're going to have a sucky
season, let's get one of their high -round draft
picks. Yes. Yes. All right. Will the Bengals
make the playoffs? No. Nope. And then finally,
will Bill Belichick ever come back to the NFL
if he's successful in Carolina? No, I'd say not.
I'd say he's gone to the NFL. Number one, he's
too old. Number two, I think he's lost a lot
of credibility. I don't think anyone would hire
him like they did this time. Everyone just didn't
hire him. He had like two interviews. He didn't
get either one of them. They were with shitty
teams. I can't even remember who he interviewed
with. And they're both like, nah, we're going
to go ahead and go another way. Yeah, he's not
because he's old, but because he's stuck in the
past. As far as an offensive, defensive mind,
he's a dinosaur. He wants to do it his own way,
and that doesn't work anymore. The only reason
it worked in New England is because it had been
that way for so long. As the new people came
in, everybody was already on board. So everyone
had to. But getting a whole team on board at
this point ain't going to happen. No, no, no.
That old way of doing it, I mean, that's why
he interviewed so poorly. Yeah. Was because he
was doing the old way and people were like, that's
not what's going on now. Yeah. You know, we need
this more... Let's see. Let's think of a good
young quarterback. Well, like the guy from the
Eagles, Nick Sirianni. Yeah. They want something
like that, a younger guy that is like. Quarterback
can relate to that guy. Yeah, yes. Yeah. Yeah,
where Belichick's over there. You're going to
do it like this. And he expects to be obeyed
because he's Bill Belichick. And the quarterback's
like, who the fuck are you, old man? Yeah, yeah.
Go squirt some sawdust in your little baby girlfriend.
Yeah. They want to do it like the wind dance
of the Jets. Yes. The Jets guy, the Jets coach.
You see the wind dance someone's making fun of?
Yeah, they want someone like that. Well, that's
all I have. Well, I have a thing about Chip Kelly.
He's offensive coordinator for the Raiders. Uh
-huh. And things aren't working out so well there.
No. And especially for the tight end position.
Yeah. And the criticism I read online this morning
was that a player is saying if you watch the
way Chip Kelly designs these plays and runs these
plays, et cetera, it's like college. It's based
on the hash marks being way out there to the
side. In the NFL, they're a lot closer to the
middle of the field. But if you're used to college
and you say, hey, I'm here on the left hash mark,
so if I throw the ball way over there, that safety's
got to run all the way across the field. Well,
this is the NFL, and the safety's going to have
to run like about 20 yards less to get there,
and he's faster. So that's what the guy's criticism
is. They watch the Raiders' offense and the way
Chip Kelly designs and runs these plays. They
look like college plates. It has a whole college
feel to it. We'll see if that works, but generally
speaking, college doesn't work in the NFL. It
just doesn't. So they may have, you know, he
was a hot name, but who knows if they really
got who they need there. I don't know. I'll be
interested to see the first time the Chiefs and
the Raiders play. I'm going to watch the Raiders'
offense. and see how that goes. Yeah, I do too.
Yeah, I want to watch it too. Is that Geno Smith
in Raiders offense? This is Pete Carroll. Yeah,
that's right. Last week, Geno Smith was the guy
who they were going for on fourth down, and he
forgot it was fourth down and threw the ball
away. Oh, yeah, you told me about that. He ran
around, ran back away, ran this way, and then
just decided to throw it away. And it was like,
oops, that was fourth down. We don't get another
play. He should have launched it downfield. Do
anything. Try it. Even if it's intercepted way
downfield, at least it's a better field position.
It's a kickoff. Yeah. But he just threw it to
the sideline. That's insane. And as many years
as he's been playing in the NFL and he still
doesn't get it, okay. I don't think Geno Smith
should be your quarterback if that's the case.
Yeah. Gosh. Wow. Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah, I was
never high on Geno Smith anyhow, and I don't
know why Pete Carroll... Well, I think Aiden
O 'Connell was supposed to be their starter,
but he got hurt. Oh, is that what it was? I think
it was. I don't know if they ever actually made
a commitment or a decision between the two of
them, but when Aiden O 'Connell got hurt, it
was like, well, it's going to be Geno Smith,
I guess, now anyway. Well, I never thought that
high of O 'Connell. No. He's never really shown
anything. I don't understand their attraction
to him. But, I mean, even with Tom Brady in there,
you know, they still have him. Yeah, you would
think Brady would be able to evaluate quarterbacks
really well, see what they're doing right, see
what they're doing wrong. Or talk to a quarterback
friend of his. Yeah. Say, hey, we've got a spot
open for you. We're changing things around. Las
Vegas is a great place to live. Yeah. It's not
all about organized crime anymore. I know. No,
only 50 % of it is. Yes. The rest of it, no.
Yeah. All right. You got anything else? I'm completely
out of stuff. Pretty well tapped out, I think.
All right. How long you got? About an hour and
ten minutes. All right. Well, I guess that's
all you're getting, fuckers. Well, anyhow, thank
you all for listening. You guys are awesome.
We really appreciate it. And go fuck yourself.
