WEBVTT 00:00:00.810 --> 00:00:05.169 Hey everybody, this is the Sports Bastards, minus 00:00:05.169 --> 00:00:09.869 Topher. We'll be doing the Sports Bastards with 00:00:09.869 --> 00:00:13.689 both of us again. It'll be coming up, the mystery 00:00:13.689 --> 00:00:16.210 sports guy, he could not make it, he's out of 00:00:16.210 --> 00:00:19.789 town. So you have me, Mark, here doing the NFL 00:00:19.789 --> 00:00:24.390 show. So, love it, hate it, whatever, hooray. 00:00:24.969 --> 00:00:27.109 So we're going to start off with last week's 00:00:27.109 --> 00:00:30.079 Thursday night, Joe Flacco. Keeping the Bengals' 00:00:30.100 --> 00:00:32.899 playoff hopes alive with Burrow on track to play 00:00:32.899 --> 00:00:36.719 in mid -December. Flacco went berserk and outplayed 00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:40.280 Aaron Rodgers and had two interceptions to Flacco's 00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:43.880 zero interceptions. Flacco had three touchdowns 00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:47.060 to Rodgers' four touchdowns. Jets are scheduled 00:00:47.060 --> 00:00:50.679 to lose next Sunday when they make their way 00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:54.039 to Natty. My prediction is Natty's easy schedule, 00:00:54.140 --> 00:00:57.799 they will make the playoffs. Playoffs! Steelers 00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:01.320 go on to play the Red Hot Packers and probably 00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:05.120 will receive another loss. The Bengals could 00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:07.079 actually take that division with the Steelers' 00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:09.799 tough schedule. They have games with the Colts 00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:14.359 and Packers, Chargers, Bills, Lions, and Ravens 00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:18.219 later on, so they could be healthy by then. Bengals 00:01:18.219 --> 00:01:21.519 have the Browns and Dolphins and Jets. This division 00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:24.159 will be interesting, especially with the Steelers. 00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:29.099 on the bill for a rematch in Pittsburgh. So that 00:01:29.099 --> 00:01:31.180 ought to be a pretty good game. That might be 00:01:31.180 --> 00:01:33.140 a revenge game, and that might be a game that 00:01:33.140 --> 00:01:36.739 determines who makes the playoffs and who doesn't. 00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:39.540 So this ought to be a pretty interesting scenario 00:01:39.540 --> 00:01:43.799 right here. So the Rams, how about them, huh? 00:01:43.859 --> 00:01:45.599 They're a little Jekyll and Hyde season here. 00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:48.640 They destroyed the Jags 35 -7, no different than 00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:51.379 the Chiefs, I guess. So just as soon as the Jags 00:01:51.379 --> 00:01:54.090 arrive, they decide to lay down. I was never 00:01:54.090 --> 00:01:56.670 convinced of them after their win over the Chiefs. 00:01:57.010 --> 00:01:59.609 Jags need to look in the mirror and do some figuring 00:01:59.609 --> 00:02:02.569 out quickly. Trevor is great at times and not 00:02:02.569 --> 00:02:05.510 so great at times. His inconsistent play doesn't 00:02:05.510 --> 00:02:09.169 lend to a string of victories. Rams had no problems 00:02:09.169 --> 00:02:12.250 getting in the end zone. Have they figured it 00:02:12.250 --> 00:02:15.830 out finally? Stay tuned. They will play the 49ers 00:02:15.830 --> 00:02:18.210 and the Seahawks twice with the Lions and Bucks 00:02:18.210 --> 00:02:21.550 mixing. They will earn it if they can win consistently 00:02:21.550 --> 00:02:24.090 with that schedule coming up. Their schedule 00:02:24.090 --> 00:02:27.189 is brutal, and I'm not convinced. I don't know. 00:02:27.310 --> 00:02:30.990 I like them. They're looking better. And their 00:02:30.990 --> 00:02:33.349 play calling looks better. And they look like 00:02:33.349 --> 00:02:35.990 they could possibly easily be a playoff team. 00:02:36.930 --> 00:02:40.889 But a lot has to happen. And that's true with 00:02:40.889 --> 00:02:43.550 anybody. I mean, with any team. But we will see. 00:02:43.729 --> 00:02:45.349 I mean, yeah, that's a good start. We'll see 00:02:45.349 --> 00:02:50.520 what happens. The Eagles got back on track, or 00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:55.360 did they? It's a 28 -22 win over the falling 00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:59.639 apart Vikings. Exactly bragging rights? Probably 00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:02.819 not. And they did take care of business. Giants, 00:03:02.819 --> 00:03:04.860 Packers, Lions, Chargers, Cowboys, and Bills. 00:03:05.099 --> 00:03:07.919 They need Hurts to give a game like he did against 00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:11.800 the Vikings to stay on the winning track. They 00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:14.300 have a lot of games coming up that they're going 00:03:14.300 --> 00:03:17.960 to have a tough time with. You know, Hurts had 00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:20.800 a perfect passer rating. The Vikings are 3 -3 00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:22.780 and in danger of not even making the playoffs 00:03:22.780 --> 00:03:25.120 with their schedule this season. They have a 00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:27.159 tough schedule because they did go to the playoffs. 00:03:27.620 --> 00:03:29.960 They didn't do very well, but they went to the 00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:32.219 playoffs, so the NFL gave them a pretty tough 00:03:32.219 --> 00:03:35.979 schedule. So, hey, how about Drake May and the 00:03:35.979 --> 00:03:39.639 Surgeon Patriots are flat partying? May was 21 00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:43.500 -23 pass attempts with 222 yards and two touchdowns. 00:03:43.949 --> 00:03:46.770 I'm still sticking to this. Patriots could dethrone 00:03:46.770 --> 00:03:49.710 the Bills for the division title. Could this 00:03:49.710 --> 00:03:51.969 be the year that the Chiefs and Bills get overthrown 00:03:51.969 --> 00:03:54.189 for the division titles? It's been a long time 00:03:54.189 --> 00:03:56.210 running, and I'm not convinced yet, but this 00:03:56.210 --> 00:03:58.710 is going to be a much more interesting season 00:03:58.710 --> 00:04:02.050 than seasons past. The Bills, they have time 00:04:02.050 --> 00:04:04.270 to get it together, but they just don't look 00:04:04.270 --> 00:04:08.650 like they have anything on the right track right 00:04:08.650 --> 00:04:11.639 now. It doesn't mean that they won't get it together 00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:15.819 at all. It doesn't mean that they can't figure 00:04:15.819 --> 00:04:17.459 it out. It doesn't mean that they can't trade 00:04:17.459 --> 00:04:23.399 for a good receiver. There's a lot of time left 00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:25.680 to change the season around. They still have 00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:28.939 Josh Allen, but their defense is one of my big 00:04:28.939 --> 00:04:31.019 things on them. Their defense looks horrible. 00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:35.199 You can run on them easily. And any team that 00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:37.100 you can run on, as my opinion is, is you can 00:04:37.100 --> 00:04:40.480 beat. A lot easier than a team that you can't 00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:43.319 run on, obviously. It's been proven over and 00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:46.019 over time and time again in the NFL. If you don't 00:04:46.019 --> 00:04:49.439 run, if you don't run with success, you have 00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:51.180 a hell of a lot less chance of winning a lot 00:04:51.180 --> 00:04:56.319 of football games. The Panthers barely beat the 00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:59.759 hapless Jets. I think I'll just move on. You 00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:01.199 know, the battle of the number one pick here. 00:05:01.339 --> 00:05:03.620 The Jets might just actually do that one right, 00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:07.120 but will they waste a pick? They probably will. 00:05:07.180 --> 00:05:09.699 I'm guessing if their track record's anything 00:05:09.699 --> 00:05:13.199 like it has been, they will fuck this pick up 00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:15.259 if they get a number one or number two or number 00:05:15.259 --> 00:05:17.579 three. Doesn't matter. They'll pick the wrong 00:05:17.579 --> 00:05:20.879 one. So what am I saying? All right. Speaking 00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:22.800 of high draft picks, the Browns beat up on the 00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:25.300 Dolphins, who are just terrible. Browns have 00:05:25.300 --> 00:05:29.379 Dylan Gabriel, who has shown some upside. He 00:05:29.379 --> 00:05:34.160 had an effective 13 of 18 for 116 yards. Dolphins 00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:36.399 are going to be looking for a quarterback in 00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:38.800 the draft. Tagovaiola had three interceptions. 00:05:39.259 --> 00:05:43.339 Browns' defense is no joke. They can't win all 00:05:43.339 --> 00:05:46.060 their games for them, but the Browns are not 00:05:46.060 --> 00:05:48.079 going to be a pushover. They're going to be tough 00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:52.519 to beat, and that is because of their defense. 00:05:52.620 --> 00:05:56.459 But because they don't have that guy and they 00:05:56.459 --> 00:06:00.079 don't have the offense to generate to win games. 00:06:00.620 --> 00:06:02.560 You're going to see them probably be maybe about 00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:07.019 a 500 team. With any luck, maybe a 9 -8, but 00:06:07.019 --> 00:06:09.579 I'm thinking probably 500 or maybe just a notch 00:06:09.579 --> 00:06:12.680 below. So, I mean, their team isn't terrible 00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:16.339 or horrible like it was before. Their defense 00:06:16.339 --> 00:06:18.800 is really good, and, you know, they're a good 00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:23.500 quarterback away from being competitive and probably 00:06:23.500 --> 00:06:26.779 competitive even to the division title with a 00:06:26.779 --> 00:06:28.879 couple of good draft picks. So we'll see what 00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:34.699 happens. The Bears beat the Saints, Radler. He 00:06:34.699 --> 00:06:37.279 had interceptions with Caleb Williams, not playing 00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:40.579 a whole lot better. Both teams suck a long ways 00:06:40.579 --> 00:06:43.620 off to even respectful level. And I know the 00:06:43.620 --> 00:06:45.779 Bears have won four in a row, but come on. Do 00:06:45.779 --> 00:06:49.240 you expect this to keep on? I don't. Caleb Williams 00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:51.939 isn't playing that well. He's better than he 00:06:51.939 --> 00:06:55.620 was, but he's not the guy. And I'm sure there's 00:06:55.620 --> 00:06:57.639 probably some idiot like Skip Tard Ballas or 00:06:57.639 --> 00:06:59.860 somebody going, oh, Caleb Williams is the best 00:06:59.860 --> 00:07:01.899 ever. Oh, my God, he's better than Mahomes. He's 00:07:01.899 --> 00:07:05.360 better than Burrow. You know, those idiots. So, 00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:10.759 well, let's get to this. I hear the AFC holding 00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:12.879 their collective breath over the Chiefs coming 00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:16.480 alive offensively and defensively. A 31 -0 zip. 00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:20.040 Stomping of the Raiders. Mahomes is taken out 00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:22.000 in the third quarter as well as a chunk of the 00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:26.660 other starters. So, Trey Smith, he went down 00:07:26.660 --> 00:07:29.139 with a back injury, which makes the Josh Simmons 00:07:29.139 --> 00:07:32.360 issue even more critical. Mahomes again had a 00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:34.620 forward touchdown performance with more left 00:07:34.620 --> 00:07:37.160 on the table. There's a lot more left on the 00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:39.180 table because he had a quarter and change to 00:07:39.180 --> 00:07:42.600 play still where he was moving the ball at will. 00:07:42.980 --> 00:07:47.519 I'm not sure if they punted once. I don't think 00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:50.259 they punted once in the first half. and even 00:07:50.259 --> 00:07:52.279 i don't even think they they might have punted 00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:55.329 one time in the third quarter if that you So 00:07:55.329 --> 00:07:56.949 pretty much they scored pretty much on every 00:07:56.949 --> 00:08:00.069 time they had the football, which is pretty much 00:08:00.069 --> 00:08:02.930 old Mahomes and pretty much the old receiving 00:08:02.930 --> 00:08:05.529 core that they're used to. Not the ones in the 00:08:05.529 --> 00:08:07.410 last couple of few years, even though they won 00:08:07.410 --> 00:08:09.930 two out of three Super Bowls. They did not have 00:08:09.930 --> 00:08:12.569 a receiving core, and it was mostly defense with 00:08:12.569 --> 00:08:15.529 Patrick Mahomes making the play when he has to. 00:08:15.649 --> 00:08:18.290 And that's something that's been so underrated 00:08:18.290 --> 00:08:20.709 about Patrick Mahomes is this right here. Patrick 00:08:20.709 --> 00:08:23.670 Mahomes has always. Always been able to make 00:08:23.670 --> 00:08:26.050 the play, the fourth down play, the third down 00:08:26.050 --> 00:08:28.990 play. He's always been able to do it, and he's 00:08:28.990 --> 00:08:33.169 been able to make that point, make that one, 00:08:33.269 --> 00:08:35.590 two, or three points that's going to count in 00:08:35.590 --> 00:08:37.809 winning the game when the other team could not. 00:08:38.269 --> 00:08:40.450 The defense held them, and Mahomes just stayed 00:08:40.450 --> 00:08:42.690 steady. He didn't get crazy. He didn't go out 00:08:42.690 --> 00:08:47.210 there and try to throw 300 yards and five touchdowns. 00:08:47.210 --> 00:08:49.470 He just went out there, and he did enough just 00:08:49.470 --> 00:08:52.169 to win the game. And he knew what he was doing. 00:08:52.370 --> 00:08:54.149 He was like, you know, I don't have the receiving 00:08:54.149 --> 00:08:58.289 force, so I cannot be careless. I cannot be careless 00:08:58.289 --> 00:09:01.230 with a football. So what he did was he just took 00:09:01.230 --> 00:09:03.870 it for what he had. He took what he had, and 00:09:03.870 --> 00:09:07.049 he did what he had to, and he came out on top. 00:09:08.450 --> 00:09:10.389 And that's where a lot of people are like, oh, 00:09:10.409 --> 00:09:12.490 this isn't old Mahomes. No, actually, this Mahomes 00:09:12.490 --> 00:09:15.309 is better. This Mahomes is aware of what his 00:09:15.309 --> 00:09:17.450 team is, and he knows how to play the other team 00:09:17.450 --> 00:09:20.289 according to what his team is. The guy is incredible, 00:09:20.629 --> 00:09:24.289 and the thing is he may not even be as good as 00:09:24.289 --> 00:09:26.549 he's going to be. I mean, look at Tom Brady. 00:09:26.850 --> 00:09:29.169 Tom Brady took a lot of years. He was a game 00:09:29.169 --> 00:09:31.370 manager when he first came into the league. He 00:09:31.370 --> 00:09:33.769 was a game manager that knew enough not to screw 00:09:33.769 --> 00:09:36.580 the game up And that's what happened his first 00:09:36.580 --> 00:09:40.620 year, taking over for Drew Bledsoe. Bledsoe got 00:09:40.620 --> 00:09:42.620 injured, they won the Super Bowl. And that's 00:09:42.620 --> 00:09:45.360 because he was doing smart play, not fantastic 00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:48.120 play. He became a gunslinger later on in his 00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:53.830 career. And he wasn't nearly the same guy that 00:09:53.830 --> 00:09:56.950 he was at the end, throwing for 350 yards and 00:09:56.950 --> 00:09:59.929 five touchdowns. He was a game manager at first, 00:10:00.070 --> 00:10:02.090 and that's what Patrick Mahomes had to become. 00:10:02.409 --> 00:10:05.610 And him doing that just like that and being able 00:10:05.610 --> 00:10:07.830 to dial it down and play the type of football 00:10:07.830 --> 00:10:10.549 that will win a game like that. is incredible, 00:10:10.929 --> 00:10:13.210 and it doesn't get enough credit, and there's 00:10:13.210 --> 00:10:15.330 all the talking heads like the Skip Tards and 00:10:15.330 --> 00:10:17.029 all them that don't give them any credit for 00:10:17.029 --> 00:10:19.389 that, that shows you how much they don't know 00:10:19.389 --> 00:10:22.429 football. That shows you how much they just want 00:10:22.429 --> 00:10:25.870 to chip on the Chiefs. They just love to motherfuck 00:10:25.870 --> 00:10:27.549 the Chiefs, and the reason is because we are 00:10:27.549 --> 00:10:30.029 not the coast. We are supposed to just be there 00:10:30.029 --> 00:10:32.350 to beat up on. That's it. They don't like us 00:10:32.350 --> 00:10:34.649 when we win. They don't like us when we win, 00:10:34.730 --> 00:10:36.789 and they're going to have a lot of sorrow coming 00:10:36.789 --> 00:10:41.580 up because it ain't over. All right, so let's 00:10:41.580 --> 00:10:44.559 see. Mahomes again, you know, like I said, he 00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:46.639 had four touchdowns. The Chiefs are clicking 00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:49.080 on all cylinders. Offensive line performing well, 00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:51.299 and Rice's return have jump -started the Chiefs' 00:10:51.299 --> 00:10:54.059 powerful offense. Spaggs has the defense playing 00:10:54.059 --> 00:10:56.399 out of their minds. This young core is looking 00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:59.500 better and better each game, which is pretty 00:10:59.500 --> 00:11:02.740 much what he said. Oh, hey, all right, we got 00:11:02.740 --> 00:11:05.679 a tour over here. Okay, so you're going to hear 00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:08.379 part of the tour. I think it's a ghost tour. 00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:15.320 Okay, so let's see here. The Chiefs have been 00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:18.820 opening up the whole game with slant passes. 00:11:19.080 --> 00:11:21.539 The slant passes to keep the defenses on their 00:11:21.539 --> 00:11:25.480 heels. Then Mahomes, he lets loose with 50 -yard 00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:28.379 bombs to boot. After he has them, he can be deadly 00:11:28.379 --> 00:11:33.379 accurate from afar. He always is, and he's very 00:11:33.379 --> 00:11:39.850 precise. The thing is, you know, I'm going to 00:11:39.850 --> 00:11:42.230 go ahead and pause this for a minute while this 00:11:42.230 --> 00:11:47.149 chick's over here fucking yapping. You know what? 00:11:47.190 --> 00:11:49.149 This is taking too long, so I'm just going to 00:11:49.149 --> 00:11:52.639 go ahead and keep on with the podcast here. So, 00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:55.759 you know, the running game of the Chiefs is starting 00:11:55.759 --> 00:11:59.100 to show signs of life, which is fantastic because 00:11:59.100 --> 00:12:01.919 that is, like I said earlier in the podcast, 00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:06.700 that the whole running game sets the tone for 00:12:06.700 --> 00:12:09.580 the game that if you have a good running game, 00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:11.879 you have a much better chance of winning. It 00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:14.250 doesn't make you one -dimensional. And it's the 00:12:14.250 --> 00:12:15.649 same way with defense. You've got to be able 00:12:15.649 --> 00:12:17.870 to do everything well, defend against the passes, 00:12:17.909 --> 00:12:22.909 and also to pass rush and also have safeties 00:12:22.909 --> 00:12:26.029 that are good, that are in their places, in the 00:12:26.029 --> 00:12:30.490 zones that they need to be to catch these slant 00:12:30.490 --> 00:12:33.190 passes as well as the longer ones, and also to 00:12:33.190 --> 00:12:35.809 stop the middle of the run or on a slide run. 00:12:37.629 --> 00:12:39.710 Anyhow, the Chargers, they certainly don't look 00:12:39.710 --> 00:12:41.690 like the Super Bowl contender. Everyone in the 00:12:41.690 --> 00:12:44.669 media anointed them to be. Daniel Jones' efficient 00:12:44.669 --> 00:12:48.110 game helped the Colts whip the Chargers 38 -24. 00:12:48.769 --> 00:12:51.690 Herbert had two interceptions with three touchdowns. 00:12:51.710 --> 00:12:54.950 The Chargers got smoked by Jonathan Taylor. Herbert 00:12:54.950 --> 00:13:00.210 had 420 yards, but he did not make enough plays. 00:13:00.289 --> 00:13:03.490 He made too many mistakes to go ahead and win 00:13:03.490 --> 00:13:05.929 that game. And I'm going to pause this again 00:13:05.929 --> 00:13:14.950 because she is just way too loud. Okay, so Herbert, 00:13:15.149 --> 00:13:17.409 like I said before, Herbert had two interceptions 00:13:17.409 --> 00:13:20.190 and three touchdowns. The Chargers got smoked 00:13:20.190 --> 00:13:22.129 by Jonathan Taylor. Like I said, I'm kind of 00:13:22.129 --> 00:13:24.549 rehashing what I said a little bit ago. Herbert 00:13:24.549 --> 00:13:27.850 had 420 yards but made enough mistakes to lose 00:13:27.850 --> 00:13:30.710 with a tandem of missing key opportunities. So 00:13:30.710 --> 00:13:35.230 the game really... The game was really won because 00:13:35.230 --> 00:13:39.309 the Colts were efficient and the Chargers were 00:13:39.309 --> 00:13:42.549 not disciplined. And also the Colts, their defense 00:13:42.549 --> 00:13:44.429 and Jonathan Taylor got them off of their game. 00:13:44.649 --> 00:13:49.139 So it was a pretty easy win for them. And so, 00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:52.500 suddenly, you hear all the Charger talk like 00:13:52.500 --> 00:13:54.200 you used to. People are starting to back off 00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:56.860 of that. Just like the Josh Allen and the Bills 00:13:56.860 --> 00:13:58.500 talk. Everyone's starting to back off of that, 00:13:58.539 --> 00:14:00.419 too. They start seeing a little bit of holes 00:14:00.419 --> 00:14:02.360 in it. I'd have more respect for them if they 00:14:02.360 --> 00:14:03.919 said, you know what, I said that at the first 00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:05.779 year, so I'm going to stick with it. Win or lose, 00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:08.340 I don't care. But none of them do that. They've 00:14:08.340 --> 00:14:12.059 got to try to save face. And to credit a lot 00:14:12.059 --> 00:14:13.940 of them, like Colin Cowherd and people like that, 00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:17.259 they said, hey, I apologize to the Chiefs. Those 00:14:17.259 --> 00:14:19.279 guys, they're getting it together. I thought 00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:21.659 they were done. A lot of other people did. Well, 00:14:21.740 --> 00:14:24.779 obviously, well, I mean, you know what? I can't 00:14:24.779 --> 00:14:26.960 say, I don't think they're done, but I can't 00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:30.679 say yet. It's only six games into the season. 00:14:30.940 --> 00:14:33.240 But they look much better than they did a while 00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:36.559 back with their receiving core being full. and 00:14:36.559 --> 00:14:38.960 their offensive line performing well. And the 00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:40.580 running game is starting to get together. Maybe 00:14:40.580 --> 00:14:43.360 Pacheco was still hurt a little bit last year, 00:14:43.460 --> 00:14:45.799 but he's starting to look like he has that explosive 00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:48.659 power like he had when he first went into the 00:14:48.659 --> 00:14:50.639 league before he started getting injuries. I 00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:53.679 just hope he's careful because the injuries are 00:14:53.679 --> 00:14:55.899 what's screwing up his career, honestly. If he 00:14:55.899 --> 00:14:57.379 didn't have all those injuries, he would be a 00:14:57.379 --> 00:15:00.879 lot further along than what he is now. So we 00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:03.460 wish him luck. We need him to do well. And Kareem 00:15:03.460 --> 00:15:07.320 Hunt. is about what I think you should be. He's 00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:09.980 really good on the goal line. He's a power runner. 00:15:10.179 --> 00:15:12.320 He'll get you that couple of yards that you need, 00:15:12.419 --> 00:15:14.259 and I don't think you can ask very much more 00:15:14.259 --> 00:15:19.220 of him. All right, so the Chiefs' frustration 00:15:19.220 --> 00:15:23.399 with Elijah Mitchell, inability to get on the 00:15:23.399 --> 00:15:27.759 field. It's starting to show. Rashad Smith has 00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:31.460 established himself as a third string back, but 00:15:31.460 --> 00:15:35.379 could get more snaps to lessen the load on Pacheco 00:15:35.379 --> 00:15:39.019 and Hunt. Now they handed him the rock, I don't 00:15:39.019 --> 00:15:40.759 know, like 10 times in a row at the end of the 00:15:40.759 --> 00:15:43.700 game last week against the Raiders. And I think 00:15:43.700 --> 00:15:45.340 you're going to see that a lot. I think you're 00:15:45.340 --> 00:15:46.860 going to give it to him and he's just going to 00:15:46.860 --> 00:15:48.700 start running up the middle and just using that 00:15:48.700 --> 00:15:50.539 power running that he seems to be pretty good 00:15:50.539 --> 00:15:52.889 at. And this is a guy we've got to keep an eye 00:15:52.889 --> 00:15:55.529 on because this guy is good. He's fast. He's 00:15:55.529 --> 00:15:58.409 strong. He's got a lot of punch. I'm telling 00:15:58.409 --> 00:16:00.490 you, this guy might be very good. We've got to 00:16:00.490 --> 00:16:04.549 keep developing him like we do, like Andy Reid 00:16:04.549 --> 00:16:07.629 and company does with their brilliant staff that 00:16:07.629 --> 00:16:12.090 they have. So, you know, he's been effective 00:16:12.090 --> 00:16:14.009 enough that they're going to feed him the ball 00:16:14.009 --> 00:16:15.990 more and more, and I can't wait to see how he 00:16:15.990 --> 00:16:21.049 progresses. So the question... is should we trade 00:16:21.049 --> 00:16:24.529 Mitchell? The Saints are in the market for a 00:16:24.529 --> 00:16:29.549 running back after Kendall Miller was hurt, and 00:16:29.549 --> 00:16:33.610 he's out for the year. He had a torn ACL, so 00:16:33.610 --> 00:16:38.230 we might look at that. The Bucs got their ass 00:16:38.230 --> 00:16:43.350 handed to them by the Crybaby Lions. Now you 00:16:43.350 --> 00:16:45.269 don't hear the crybaby lions crying anymore, 00:16:45.330 --> 00:16:48.009 do you? Because they won. They dominated Tampa 00:16:48.009 --> 00:16:50.250 Bay, and suddenly everything's right in the universe. 00:16:50.649 --> 00:16:54.110 But they came to Kansas City thinking they were 00:16:54.110 --> 00:16:56.409 going to kick the shit out of us, and they got 00:16:56.409 --> 00:16:58.669 punched in the face. They got punched in the 00:16:58.669 --> 00:17:01.690 face, and they got Buster Douglas all the way 00:17:01.690 --> 00:17:03.850 fucking down. They were lying on the ground when 00:17:03.850 --> 00:17:09.309 they left, hapless and barely alive. So that's 00:17:09.309 --> 00:17:12.200 what the lions get for being so cocky. And like 00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:15.440 I said, Dan Campbell and his bullshit, it looks 00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:18.700 to me, my opinion is, is he does bounties. He 00:17:18.700 --> 00:17:21.099 was telling people to hurt Mahomes or anybody 00:17:21.099 --> 00:17:23.920 he can because I believe that that's what kind 00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:26.339 of a coach he is. And those kind of coaches never 00:17:26.339 --> 00:17:29.279 fucking last. And you watch that big fucking 00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:32.079 piece of shit, in my opinion. He's not going 00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:33.819 to be around another couple of years because 00:17:33.819 --> 00:17:35.720 he's going to keep doing shit like that. And 00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:37.339 other teams are just going to beat the hell out 00:17:37.339 --> 00:17:41.740 of him. So, all right. Detroit dominated the 00:17:41.740 --> 00:17:45.240 Bucs 24 -9. The score does not do the game justice. 00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:51.480 The Bucs were really disappointing. I mean, Mayfield, 00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:53.319 as good as he looked, was as bad as he looked. 00:17:54.019 --> 00:17:57.220 You know, everyone's anointing him the MVP. All 00:17:57.220 --> 00:17:59.380 of a sudden, you don't hear that so much anymore. 00:17:59.660 --> 00:18:01.859 You have one bad game, and suddenly you're worthless. 00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:04.380 So that's one of the problems with the league. 00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:06.259 You have a bad game, and suddenly everybody, 00:18:06.299 --> 00:18:08.609 they had their... All their chips in your corner 00:18:08.609 --> 00:18:10.569 starts grabbing them and running. This goes back 00:18:10.569 --> 00:18:13.549 to all the talking heads that refuse to admit 00:18:13.549 --> 00:18:17.390 that they are wrong. Like I said, I'd have a 00:18:17.390 --> 00:18:19.069 hell of a lot more respect for someone. I admit 00:18:19.069 --> 00:18:21.269 when I'm wrong. I thought the Chiefs were going 00:18:21.269 --> 00:18:23.589 to beat Jacksonville. When they lost, I was like, 00:18:23.609 --> 00:18:25.750 okay, I guess I was wrong. I guess maybe the 00:18:25.750 --> 00:18:27.309 Chiefs aren't quite as good as I thought they 00:18:27.309 --> 00:18:29.890 were going to be. It's not that hard to do. If 00:18:29.890 --> 00:18:33.730 I can do it, they can. The Texans continue to 00:18:33.730 --> 00:18:38.690 look abysmal. with the Seahawks handily beating 00:18:38.690 --> 00:18:43.730 them 27 -19. Many are already calling for C .J. 00:18:43.769 --> 00:18:50.349 Stroud's benching. He hasn't got off to a good 00:18:50.349 --> 00:18:54.609 start. Ever since the rookie season, he leveled 00:18:54.609 --> 00:18:57.369 off, and he hasn't been really, quite frankly, 00:18:57.529 --> 00:19:01.789 he hasn't been that high of a player. He's been 00:19:01.789 --> 00:19:05.230 about mid -level for a quarterback, which is 00:19:05.230 --> 00:19:07.509 not that good because when he came into the league 00:19:07.509 --> 00:19:10.009 his rookie season, he caught everybody by surprise, 00:19:10.109 --> 00:19:11.329 and he was looking great. He was making those 00:19:11.329 --> 00:19:13.710 long passes. He was making the difficult passes. 00:19:13.809 --> 00:19:16.029 But now it seems like if you get in his face, 00:19:16.130 --> 00:19:19.329 he will get flustered, and that's the worst thing 00:19:19.329 --> 00:19:21.269 a quarterback can do. You cannot get flustered. 00:19:21.349 --> 00:19:24.250 You have to keep to the game plan. So it's up 00:19:24.250 --> 00:19:27.690 to the Texans and C .J. Stroud to develop a plan 00:19:27.690 --> 00:19:30.230 to get by this because teams have figured them 00:19:30.230 --> 00:19:33.539 out to a point. So I'm not saying the Texans 00:19:33.539 --> 00:19:34.960 are not going to be in it, but I'm saying they 00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:37.019 got to play a hell of a lot better than they 00:19:37.019 --> 00:19:39.200 are now. They have a lot of talent on that team. 00:19:39.420 --> 00:19:41.279 They have to put it together and they have to 00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:44.579 have the coaching help them. develop this and 00:19:44.579 --> 00:19:48.880 to develop a consistency of this plane and they 00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:52.279 have to develop a consistency of of how they 00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:55.359 win they have to develop this formula and they 00:19:55.359 --> 00:19:57.140 haven't been good at that they've been erratic 00:19:57.140 --> 00:19:58.599 they've been here and there and they've been 00:19:58.599 --> 00:20:00.819 losing games they should have won and they've 00:20:00.819 --> 00:20:04.259 been winning games that by accident quite frankly 00:20:04.259 --> 00:20:10.180 so All right. Three years in the league, and 00:20:10.180 --> 00:20:13.420 he has been figured out, and they need to work 00:20:13.420 --> 00:20:17.579 on it. So Darnold did enough to win behind the 00:20:17.579 --> 00:20:20.880 Seattle strong defense. They have a really good 00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:24.140 defense. We'll see him come playoff time. Darnold 00:20:24.140 --> 00:20:27.740 will probably wet down his leg like he always 00:20:27.740 --> 00:20:30.799 has because that type of death by paper cut does 00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:35.920 not work out in the playoffs. It works great 00:20:35.920 --> 00:20:37.680 during regular season, but when you go up against 00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:39.980 these elite defenses, you get your ass handed 00:20:39.980 --> 00:20:43.279 to them, and this should be probably no different. 00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:50.000 So, let's see. You know, the Vikings had a very 00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:52.160 abrupt end of their season last year. They looked 00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:55.500 so promising, and I could really... Oops, sorry 00:20:55.500 --> 00:20:58.119 about that. I could really... see that happening 00:20:58.119 --> 00:21:00.900 again i'm not wishing it because i kind of like 00:21:00.900 --> 00:21:03.460 sam darnold and i wouldn't mind seattle doing 00:21:03.460 --> 00:21:06.500 a little something but i don't know we'll have 00:21:06.500 --> 00:21:10.180 to see i mean they're gonna Darnold's going to 00:21:10.180 --> 00:21:12.839 have to play perfect ball with that defense to 00:21:12.839 --> 00:21:15.539 get through some of the heavy hitters like the 00:21:15.539 --> 00:21:20.420 Philadelphias, the Green Bays. The Commanders, 00:21:20.420 --> 00:21:22.339 they don't look so good suddenly. There are some 00:21:22.339 --> 00:21:24.000 other teams there that look good too that I'm 00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:27.980 not even thinking of. San Francisco, if they 00:21:27.980 --> 00:21:30.500 get healthy, they're going to be lethal. The 00:21:30.500 --> 00:21:32.980 Rams, they look like they're getting it together. 00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:35.279 So it's going to be tough. It's going to be really 00:21:35.279 --> 00:21:37.579 tough for them to do anything. So we'll see. 00:21:39.029 --> 00:21:43.470 So, now, like I talked about before and about 00:21:43.470 --> 00:21:46.690 how all these talking heads, Bag Mahomes and 00:21:46.690 --> 00:21:49.450 all this, you know, it's over. He hasn't been 00:21:49.450 --> 00:21:51.890 the same in three years, all this stuff, everything, 00:21:52.130 --> 00:21:53.829 blah, blah, blah. Even though you went two out 00:21:53.829 --> 00:21:55.809 of three Super Bowls and went to all three of 00:21:55.809 --> 00:21:58.569 them during that span, you're worthless. That's 00:21:58.569 --> 00:22:02.250 what everybody says. So, let me go over some 00:22:02.250 --> 00:22:05.029 of the records as of now that Patrick Mahomes 00:22:05.029 --> 00:22:10.049 has accumulated. He's the fastest to reach 250 00:22:10.049 --> 00:22:13.869 passing touchdowns. He's the fastest to reach 00:22:13.869 --> 00:22:17.769 300 passing touchdowns. He's the fastest to reach 00:22:17.769 --> 00:22:21.230 10 ,000 yards in 34 games. He's the fastest to 00:22:21.230 --> 00:22:27.390 reach 20 ,000 yards in 107 games. And he also, 00:22:27.470 --> 00:22:29.549 oh no, 67 games. I'm sorry, I read the wrong 00:22:29.549 --> 00:22:32.970 line. Imagine that, me screwing up. Okay, he's 00:22:32.970 --> 00:22:36.660 the fastest one to... 20 ,000 yards in 67 games, 00:22:36.799 --> 00:22:40.299 and is the fastest quarterback ever to 30 ,000 00:22:40.299 --> 00:22:43.779 yards in 103 games. I'm sorry, there's a lot 00:22:43.779 --> 00:22:47.460 going on out here. I'm at the Basin Park. It's 00:22:47.460 --> 00:22:51.420 just the Basin Park. It's a nice park in the 00:22:51.420 --> 00:22:54.460 middle of Eureka Springs where I'm at right now, 00:22:54.579 --> 00:22:59.400 and it's rather spirited there having a zombie 00:22:59.400 --> 00:23:01.200 fest this weekend, so there's a lot of people 00:23:01.200 --> 00:23:07.240 here. He has multiple 5 ,000 yard seasons. Only 00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:11.319 Drew Brees and Tom Brady are the other two that 00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:18.319 have had this. His current passer rating is 102 00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:24.160 .1. Most wins in his first 100 starts with 78 00:23:24.160 --> 00:23:27.099 wins. That's a pretty good record there too, 00:23:27.299 --> 00:23:31.480 like I was saying. Tied all time record with 00:23:31.480 --> 00:23:36.309 8. Consecu of Games. with 300 passing yards per 00:23:36.309 --> 00:23:38.529 game. I'm sorry, the lighting here is very bad. 00:23:38.589 --> 00:23:40.769 I'm having trouble picking this up on the paper 00:23:40.769 --> 00:23:45.250 because I had to scribble all this because I 00:23:45.250 --> 00:23:47.210 didn't have a printer here while we're staying 00:23:47.210 --> 00:23:49.710 because we're staying in these lofts that are 00:23:49.710 --> 00:23:53.329 not really a hotel. I think they're just lofts 00:23:53.329 --> 00:23:56.069 that they rent out. So anyhow, so I didn't have 00:23:56.069 --> 00:23:58.670 the luxury of being able to put it in bold type. 00:23:58.950 --> 00:24:01.390 And this pen that I use is not the greatest. 00:24:01.430 --> 00:24:03.130 So I'm having trouble reading it a little bit. 00:24:03.819 --> 00:24:09.980 Please bear with me. So, Skip Bayless, this is 00:24:09.980 --> 00:24:12.539 some of the stupidest things that, after I read 00:24:12.539 --> 00:24:15.339 all of those about Mahomes' records, now I'm 00:24:15.339 --> 00:24:16.539 going to read you some of the things that was 00:24:16.539 --> 00:24:19.279 said about him that are ridiculous, and we're 00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:20.619 going to have a little chuckle. Hopefully you 00:24:20.619 --> 00:24:22.680 and I together are going to chuckle over these 00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:25.319 idiots that have said this. So first we go to 00:24:25.319 --> 00:24:28.680 Little Skippard. Little Skippard, he said, Skip 00:24:28.680 --> 00:24:33.099 Bayless in 2019 tweeted that Matt Moore... Beats 00:24:33.099 --> 00:24:37.579 Kirk Cousins, as I predicted on Undisputed. I'm 00:24:37.579 --> 00:24:41.480 certainly not saying Moore is better than Mahomes, 00:24:41.619 --> 00:24:44.619 but the Chiefs are playing with more spirit and 00:24:44.619 --> 00:24:48.119 fight than they did with Mahomes under Moore. 00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:54.579 I don't have to say anything. You can listen 00:24:54.579 --> 00:24:57.259 to that and analyze it yourself. I don't have 00:24:57.259 --> 00:25:03.059 to say anything about the ridiculous... Of all 00:25:03.059 --> 00:25:05.359 of that that he said, that dribble, that drool, 00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:07.680 that he just says to have his fat mouth open, 00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:13.079 what an idiot. Matt Moore has the team playing 00:25:13.079 --> 00:25:15.799 harder than Patrick Mahomes. Are you fucking 00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:18.799 kidding? Every Super Bowl they've ever played 00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:20.920 in, they've been behind by 10 points or more. 00:25:21.119 --> 00:25:23.859 And every one they won. So what do you call that? 00:25:23.940 --> 00:25:25.660 You call the team just sitting back because they 00:25:25.660 --> 00:25:28.480 don't believe in Mahomes? You're an idiot, Skip 00:25:28.480 --> 00:25:32.400 Bayless, and everybody knows this. Allegedly. 00:25:33.380 --> 00:25:36.839 He also called Mahomes dramatically overrated. 00:25:36.920 --> 00:25:39.839 That's funny. That's what I say about him. Only 00:25:39.839 --> 00:25:46.099 I'm right. He's not. He stated that he would 00:25:46.099 --> 00:25:49.940 pick Caleb Williams over Mahomes during clutch 00:25:49.940 --> 00:25:57.279 time. Once again, I go back to 13 seconds. Championship 00:25:57.279 --> 00:26:04.559 game. 2020. 2020, I think it was. Championship 00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:10.380 game, 2020 season. 13 seconds left. They tied 00:26:10.380 --> 00:26:14.339 the game in 13 seconds against the Bills. And 00:26:14.339 --> 00:26:16.539 then they won the game on the first drive in 00:26:16.539 --> 00:26:20.500 overtime. And it pissed the NFL and all the talking 00:26:20.500 --> 00:26:23.039 heads off so bad that they changed the rule so 00:26:23.039 --> 00:26:25.059 the Chiefs could come back and do it again against 00:26:25.059 --> 00:26:29.680 San Francisco with the rule change. So, Skippy, 00:26:29.819 --> 00:26:34.809 shut up. What an idiot. I mean, you sound as 00:26:34.809 --> 00:26:36.950 dumb as you look, and I didn't think that was 00:26:36.950 --> 00:26:42.390 possible. All right. Here's some more of what 00:26:42.390 --> 00:26:46.970 people said about Mahomes or to him. A -Rod encouraged 00:26:46.970 --> 00:26:51.670 Mahomes to stick with baseball. That's a good 00:26:51.670 --> 00:26:54.950 one, too. Only, I don't think he meant it derogatory. 00:26:54.970 --> 00:26:58.430 I think probably Alex Rodriguez thought that 00:26:58.430 --> 00:27:02.140 he was a good pitcher. But if not, then that 00:27:02.140 --> 00:27:07.160 was an idiotic statement. So, anyhow. Earlier 00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:11.259 this year, NBC News said that the Chiefs' 0 -2 00:27:11.259 --> 00:27:14.680 start was the worst losing streak in his NFL 00:27:14.680 --> 00:27:18.900 career. 0 -2. His worst losing streak in NFL. 00:27:19.140 --> 00:27:23.839 0 -2. Let that sink in. Think about that. 0 -2 00:27:23.839 --> 00:27:28.430 is his worst. That is when everybody said the 00:27:28.430 --> 00:27:31.369 Chiefs were over. It's done. Put a fork in them. 00:27:31.470 --> 00:27:36.309 0 -2. Two games in a row. If you count the Super 00:27:36.309 --> 00:27:38.170 Bowl, three games, but I'm counting two because 00:27:38.170 --> 00:27:42.410 this is a completely different season. So, losing 00:27:42.410 --> 00:27:45.170 two games in a row, and suddenly that makes you 00:27:45.170 --> 00:27:48.890 horrible? That tells you how good Mahomes and 00:27:48.890 --> 00:27:54.720 company is. All right, July. No, no, no. Let's 00:27:54.720 --> 00:27:58.799 go to dumbass Roethlisberger first. He said that 00:27:58.799 --> 00:28:01.920 he would rather have Aaron Rodgers over Mahomes 00:28:01.920 --> 00:28:05.680 because he thought Mahomes at 30 was past his 00:28:05.680 --> 00:28:10.500 prime. Rodgers is 42. Ben Roethlisberger, I never 00:28:10.500 --> 00:28:12.420 thought you were very smart in the first place. 00:28:12.599 --> 00:28:15.519 You have proved me wrong 100%, so thank you. 00:28:15.740 --> 00:28:18.440 And keep your fat mouth going. Can't wait till 00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:21.779 we stomp your ass if you guys make the playoffs. 00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:27.660 July 2025, Jamar Chase said that without Travis 00:28:27.660 --> 00:28:30.339 Kelsey, Mahomes is just another Kirk Cousins 00:28:30.339 --> 00:28:36.460 with a hand band. T. Higgins can keep his mouth 00:28:36.460 --> 00:28:40.099 shut. He knows not to say stupid shit like that. 00:28:40.279 --> 00:28:44.460 Jamar Chase is just erratic and blathering constantly, 00:28:44.619 --> 00:28:47.220 and I don't know why. I think he would do himself 00:28:47.220 --> 00:28:49.819 justice if he kept his mouth shut and didn't 00:28:49.819 --> 00:28:54.849 show what a fool he was. So, anyhow. You know, 00:28:54.890 --> 00:28:57.589 I don't have three days to go over all the stupid 00:28:57.589 --> 00:29:00.569 shit that Jamar Chase's shit has said towards 00:29:00.569 --> 00:29:03.549 the Chiefs. But you're welcome to look him up 00:29:03.549 --> 00:29:09.410 if you have three days. Anyhow, I could go into 00:29:09.410 --> 00:29:11.869 this week's games, but I'm going to do a whole 00:29:11.869 --> 00:29:14.349 other show. Like tonight, I can't really say 00:29:14.349 --> 00:29:16.470 anything. I'm doing this Thursday night. Thursday 00:29:16.470 --> 00:29:20.589 night baseball is going on right now. And the 00:29:20.589 --> 00:29:23.009 Chargers look like they're performing much better 00:29:23.009 --> 00:29:26.799 than they have in the last few weeks. So I can't 00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:28.759 pick anyone on this because if I had to pick 00:29:28.759 --> 00:29:30.460 someone, I'd pick the Chargers. But I already 00:29:30.460 --> 00:29:34.039 know they're like up 14 -3. And this is like 00:29:34.039 --> 00:29:37.920 still barely in the second quarter. So I can't 00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:40.039 pick this game. So what I'm going to do is I'm 00:29:40.039 --> 00:29:41.720 going to come up with a whole other show and 00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:45.079 do the picks by themselves. But instead, I'm 00:29:45.079 --> 00:29:46.819 going to go into a little bit of douchebag territory 00:29:46.819 --> 00:29:53.240 here. I've got a... Oops, sorry about that. All 00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:55.900 right. I've got a story here that I've been wanting 00:29:55.900 --> 00:29:57.339 to tell for a while, but I'm going to go ahead 00:29:57.339 --> 00:30:00.099 and do it right now because, well, hey, it's 00:30:00.099 --> 00:30:04.200 just you and me at the Basin Park. And, you know, 00:30:04.200 --> 00:30:06.799 why not? It's a beautiful evening here. That 00:30:06.799 --> 00:30:10.660 tour finally fucking left, and all that noisy 00:30:10.660 --> 00:30:12.440 shit is gone, and I'm just sitting here. There's 00:30:12.440 --> 00:30:14.799 people walking around, strolling. The town's 00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:17.460 lively. This is a fun night just to sit out here 00:30:17.460 --> 00:30:19.119 and do this, so I'm going to keep it going for 00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:21.400 a little bit longer. So if you guys don't like 00:30:21.400 --> 00:30:25.119 it, you know how to turn it off. No. Flight diverted 00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:27.420 after strange passengers started freaking out 00:30:27.420 --> 00:30:30.200 and then eating and flushing their passports. 00:30:31.140 --> 00:30:33.539 A person on the plane said his most terrifying 00:30:33.539 --> 00:30:38.799 15 minutes of my life. The Ryanair flight from 00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:43.859 Milan, Italy to London, UK had to make an emergency 00:30:43.859 --> 00:30:46.220 landing after strange passengers began freaking 00:30:46.220 --> 00:30:48.180 out and trying to dispose of their passports 00:30:48.180 --> 00:30:52.440 in unusual ways. No one on board knew what was 00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:55.539 going on. These people were acting weird an anonymous 00:30:55.539 --> 00:30:58.500 flight witness told the Daily Star of the wild 00:30:58.500 --> 00:31:01.640 saga Which occurred while they were returning 00:31:01.640 --> 00:31:04.279 home after spending time with friends abroad 00:31:04.279 --> 00:31:07.839 Essentially the flight took off and 15 to 20 00:31:07.839 --> 00:31:11.339 minutes into the flight one Once the seatbelt 00:31:11.339 --> 00:31:14.480 sign was off Something very strange happened 00:31:14.480 --> 00:31:17.220 at the front of the plane The passenger recalled, 00:31:17.579 --> 00:31:20.619 I'm just really fucking glad I landed, said one 00:31:20.619 --> 00:31:23.460 witness. According to the traveler, one of the 00:31:23.460 --> 00:31:26.059 men tore out the pages of his passport and proceeded 00:31:26.059 --> 00:31:28.759 to eat them, causing everyone on board to freak 00:31:28.759 --> 00:31:31.039 out. I get that. Anyone that eats a passport, 00:31:31.140 --> 00:31:32.099 you don't know what the hell they're going to 00:31:32.099 --> 00:31:34.400 do, right? You know, they could, like, kick out 00:31:34.400 --> 00:31:37.740 a window or something, try to storm the, you 00:31:37.740 --> 00:31:39.980 know, the cockpit, something, whatever, you know. 00:31:40.079 --> 00:31:42.160 Someone eating a passport is not there. We know 00:31:42.160 --> 00:31:43.539 this, and we don't know what they're capable 00:31:43.539 --> 00:31:48.779 of, so I understand. So, according to the traveler, 00:31:48.839 --> 00:31:50.859 one of the men tore out the pages, like I said, 00:31:50.960 --> 00:31:56.160 and his passport was eaten by him. His partner 00:31:56.160 --> 00:31:58.579 in crime then tailed it to the other end of the 00:31:58.579 --> 00:32:00.640 aircraft and attempted to flush his passport 00:32:00.640 --> 00:32:03.420 down the toilet. A flight attendant slammed on 00:32:03.420 --> 00:32:05.960 the door and pleaded with him to open it, but 00:32:05.960 --> 00:32:08.720 he refused to move, which only led to more tension 00:32:08.720 --> 00:32:11.859 per the source. I bet it did. Their hostess then 00:32:11.859 --> 00:32:14.400 made a public announcement that was so blunt 00:32:14.400 --> 00:32:17.400 and to the point, they continued, that freaked 00:32:17.400 --> 00:32:23.019 people out to another level. And so, I guess 00:32:23.019 --> 00:32:25.579 they call them, they're no longer flight attendants? 00:32:25.640 --> 00:32:29.380 Okay. At that point, the pilots decided to divert 00:32:29.380 --> 00:32:32.279 the flight to Paris, France, with a source describing 00:32:32.279 --> 00:32:34.460 the descent as the most terrifying 15 minutes 00:32:34.460 --> 00:32:37.039 of my life. Upon arrival, French authorities 00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:39.900 boarded aircraft and arrested the two men before 00:32:39.900 --> 00:32:42.920 conducting a rigorous bag search. In total, the 00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:45.200 process took a whopping two hours, after which 00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:47.400 a plane was allowed to continue on its way to 00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:53.680 London Airport. The source lauded Ryanair employees 00:32:53.680 --> 00:32:56.200 for handling the stressful situation amazingly. 00:32:56.500 --> 00:32:59.019 I think Ryanair was brilliant in handling it 00:32:59.019 --> 00:33:01.440 in a certain way. They gave out drinks towards 00:33:01.440 --> 00:33:03.640 the end of the flight, and they were coming in. 00:33:04.969 --> 00:33:08.089 And they were apologizing, which they didn't 00:33:08.089 --> 00:33:09.930 need to. They had nothing to do with it, but 00:33:09.930 --> 00:33:12.430 they helped straighten the situation out. And 00:33:12.430 --> 00:33:14.430 it sounds like they handed everything pretty 00:33:14.430 --> 00:33:16.829 well. So, Ryanair, whoever the hell you are, 00:33:16.910 --> 00:33:19.769 good job. Don't think I've ever heard of you 00:33:19.769 --> 00:33:22.430 before, actually. No, actually, you know what? 00:33:22.470 --> 00:33:24.289 I think I have. They do international flights, 00:33:24.369 --> 00:33:30.029 but anyhow. So, I got a little story here. This 00:33:30.029 --> 00:33:37.210 is... Where did it go? Alright. Oh, no, no, no. 00:33:37.230 --> 00:33:39.009 I don't want to do that one. Bear with me here. 00:33:39.430 --> 00:33:44.269 Okay. People who want to get high, they will 00:33:44.269 --> 00:33:48.369 find a way. What is bluetoothing or hotspotting? 00:33:48.589 --> 00:33:51.769 And how dangerous trend is fueling the HIV infections? 00:33:52.990 --> 00:33:55.990 Health experts are sounding alarm over a disturbing 00:33:55.990 --> 00:33:59.170 trend where drug users swap blood to score a 00:33:59.170 --> 00:34:03.910 second -hand high. Called bluetoothing? The gruesome 00:34:03.910 --> 00:34:07.490 movement is fueling a wave of new HIV infections 00:34:07.490 --> 00:34:10.070 in hotspots around the globe, including Fiji 00:34:10.070 --> 00:34:13.090 and South Africa. Doctors are warning that the 00:34:13.090 --> 00:34:15.329 surge in cases is just the tip of the iceberg 00:34:15.329 --> 00:34:17.530 when it comes to the risks tied to this dangerous 00:34:17.530 --> 00:34:21.960 practice, also known as hotspotting. It's a risky 00:34:21.960 --> 00:34:24.260 street practice that involves injecting a powerful 00:34:24.260 --> 00:34:27.119 drug like heroin or meth, then drawing a small 00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:30.420 amount of drug -laced blood back into the syringe 00:34:30.420 --> 00:34:32.619 and injecting it in someone else to share the 00:34:32.619 --> 00:34:35.539 high. The process is repeated from one person 00:34:35.539 --> 00:34:40.289 to the next, often using the same needle. In 00:34:40.289 --> 00:34:43.369 settings of severe poverty, it's a cheap method 00:34:43.369 --> 00:34:45.849 of getting high with a lot of consequences. Brian 00:34:45.849 --> 00:34:49.170 Zanoni, an Emory University professor who's studied 00:34:49.170 --> 00:34:52.070 drug injection behaviors in South Africa, told 00:34:52.070 --> 00:34:54.130 the New York Times this week. You're basically 00:34:54.130 --> 00:34:57.889 getting two doses for the price of one. But experts 00:34:57.889 --> 00:35:00.630 say it's unclear if it actually works. Some believe 00:35:00.630 --> 00:35:02.949 the secondhand injection may offer a weaker high, 00:35:03.070 --> 00:35:05.929 while others say it's little more than a placebo. 00:35:06.489 --> 00:35:12.739 I say, what the fuck? like i said at the first 00:35:12.739 --> 00:35:15.280 people will do anything to get high and that 00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:20.239 is case in point right there disgusting all right 00:35:20.239 --> 00:35:24.059 let's go to a little bit of fun here uh doritos 00:35:24.059 --> 00:35:27.420 decided they're going to release pizza flavored 00:35:27.420 --> 00:35:32.300 doritos they will be called stranger things pizza 00:35:32.300 --> 00:35:35.190 doritos Of course, in tandem with a promotion 00:35:35.190 --> 00:35:37.789 from the show Stranger Things that has aired 00:35:37.789 --> 00:35:41.110 on Netflix. But no, Doritos are not just happy 00:35:41.110 --> 00:35:42.829 with that. And everybody's raving about the pizza 00:35:42.829 --> 00:35:45.989 -flavored Doritos and taste tests, which is excellent. 00:35:47.530 --> 00:35:50.889 They want to go ahead and do savory ranch mashup, 00:35:50.909 --> 00:35:54.369 as well as some other surprise flavors that they 00:35:54.369 --> 00:35:56.630 haven't announced yet. I'm all for it. I love 00:35:56.630 --> 00:35:59.050 Doritos, but it's starting to get a little boring 00:35:59.050 --> 00:36:02.980 sometimes. There were so many times I could run 00:36:02.980 --> 00:36:09.599 back to Taco Doritos. That was a goofy little 00:36:09.599 --> 00:36:14.980 bike. All right. Now, I'm going to go to Brian 00:36:14.980 --> 00:36:17.360 Branch, and I made some fun of him. And we all 00:36:17.360 --> 00:36:20.920 know this because he, in my opinion, is a whining 00:36:20.920 --> 00:36:25.760 little pussy. And so, he was bullied by the Chiefs, 00:36:25.760 --> 00:36:28.679 and the little guy got his feelings hurt. And 00:36:28.679 --> 00:36:31.780 that's why... Me and the other douchebag, Rob, 00:36:32.079 --> 00:36:36.179 has sent him a get well card in the mail. And 00:36:36.179 --> 00:36:38.739 we will let you know if we get a response. We 00:36:38.739 --> 00:36:41.239 hope it reaches him. I sent it to the Detroit 00:36:41.239 --> 00:36:45.559 Lions mailing address. Care of Brian Branch. 00:36:45.719 --> 00:36:48.500 And it's a get well card. And I even sprayed 00:36:48.500 --> 00:36:51.099 a little bit of perfume on it that Val has to 00:36:51.099 --> 00:36:55.000 make it even more appealing to the guy. After 00:36:55.000 --> 00:36:57.019 the game concluded, Lions safety Brian Branch 00:36:57.019 --> 00:36:59.400 got into a quarrel when he dissed Chiefs quarterback 00:36:59.400 --> 00:37:02.519 Patrick Mahomes and struck Chiefs receiver Juju 00:37:02.519 --> 00:37:05.300 Smith -Schuster in the face after the wideout 00:37:05.300 --> 00:37:07.340 tried to shake his hand. After cooling down, 00:37:07.480 --> 00:37:09.800 Branch apologized for his actions, but he was 00:37:09.800 --> 00:37:11.739 given a one -game suspension for the NFL for 00:37:11.739 --> 00:37:14.840 what he did. His appeal was also denied, which 00:37:14.840 --> 00:37:16.920 is fantastic, and he probably should have gotten 00:37:16.920 --> 00:37:20.090 more than one game. While the Branch incident 00:37:20.090 --> 00:37:22.369 got the most attention after Sunday night football, 00:37:22.670 --> 00:37:24.710 there was another moment during the game that 00:37:24.710 --> 00:37:26.969 didn't go unnoticed. During the second half, 00:37:27.150 --> 00:37:30.530 Lions head rusher Aiden Hutchinson got slapped 00:37:30.530 --> 00:37:33.110 with a penalty for a late hit on Mahomes that 00:37:33.110 --> 00:37:36.750 happened second after the Chiefs quarterback 00:37:36.750 --> 00:37:39.449 had already released the ball. It was more than 00:37:39.449 --> 00:37:41.489 a second. This article says a second, but it 00:37:41.489 --> 00:37:47.269 was noticeable how late he was hit. Many expected 00:37:47.269 --> 00:37:49.469 Hutchinson to also get slapped with a fine for 00:37:49.469 --> 00:37:51.769 unnecessary roughness given the league's crackdown 00:37:51.769 --> 00:37:56.050 on sportsmanlike conduct this season. So when 00:37:56.050 --> 00:37:58.389 the NFL released its list of fines from the previous 00:37:58.389 --> 00:38:00.789 week's games, some were surprised Hutchinson's 00:38:00.789 --> 00:38:03.230 name wasn't on it. Two lines player, however, 00:38:03.349 --> 00:38:05.969 did receive fines. And I think that asshole, 00:38:06.210 --> 00:38:10.210 Dan Campbell, the head coach, needs a fine too. 00:38:11.079 --> 00:38:13.960 If you cannot, if you did not, like I think, 00:38:14.039 --> 00:38:16.960 like I suspect, like I allege, if you did not 00:38:16.960 --> 00:38:19.219 put a bounty on the players, the Chiefs players, 00:38:19.480 --> 00:38:22.159 then you don't have control over your team like 00:38:22.159 --> 00:38:26.059 you should have, and you need to do another profession. 00:38:26.820 --> 00:38:30.719 So, all right, I'm going to move on to something 00:38:30.719 --> 00:38:32.480 a little bit different from Rorschach, England. 00:38:33.280 --> 00:38:35.860 A man got a craving for gummy candies and went 00:38:35.860 --> 00:38:43.719 all in. Haribo Cola Bottle Sweets, the Manchester 00:38:43.719 --> 00:38:47.019 Evening News reported on October 1st. Then Remington, 00:38:47.360 --> 00:38:50.579 the gentleman in question, went all in eating 00:38:50.579 --> 00:38:54.800 them, finished them off in three evenings. All 00:38:54.800 --> 00:38:58.280 10 ,461 calories. A couple days later, terrible 00:38:58.280 --> 00:39:00.579 stomach cramps sent him to the hospital where 00:39:00.579 --> 00:39:04.019 he was diagnosed with diverticulitis caused by 00:39:04.019 --> 00:39:06.739 the gelatin in the candies. After six days of 00:39:06.739 --> 00:39:09.099 IV fluids, he went home and hasn't touched a 00:39:09.099 --> 00:39:12.030 gummy since. It was my own stupid fault, he said. 00:39:12.269 --> 00:39:15.389 Not even eating a cola bottle since, he said. 00:39:15.710 --> 00:39:18.650 And this is from England, so I have no idea what 00:39:18.650 --> 00:39:21.650 the hell cola bottle candies are. Well, I guess 00:39:21.650 --> 00:39:23.010 you don't want to eat a whole bunch of them, 00:39:23.050 --> 00:39:26.769 do you? Diverticulitis is no joke. So, all right. 00:39:27.230 --> 00:39:29.190 Anyhow, I think that's kind of how I'm going 00:39:29.190 --> 00:39:32.210 to end this right here. And everybody, thank 00:39:32.210 --> 00:39:33.829 you for listening to this little whatever the 00:39:33.829 --> 00:39:36.809 hell it is. And the Mystery Sports Guy will be 00:39:36.809 --> 00:39:39.110 back next week. And hopefully Topher and I will 00:39:39.110 --> 00:39:41.269 be doing a Sports Bastards, but I don't have 00:39:41.269 --> 00:39:43.869 a guarantee over that. So, anyhow, everybody 00:39:43.869 --> 00:39:46.250 have a good night. And I will continue to have 00:39:46.250 --> 00:39:48.289 fun here in Eureka Springs. And don't forget, 00:39:48.429 --> 00:39:51.329 when I get home, I'm going to mix the Crescent. 00:39:51.940 --> 00:39:54.219 hotel the most america's most haunted hotel i'm 00:39:54.219 --> 00:39:56.860 going to mix that episode up and you're going 00:39:56.860 --> 00:39:58.760 to hear a little bit of insight about that and 00:39:58.760 --> 00:40:00.420 i think you guys are going to enjoy it thank 00:40:00.420 --> 00:40:02.260 you very much thank you have a great night
