Well, since the sports show can't be called two
douchebags with a microphone, maybe we could
just call them the sports bastards. Hi there.
This could be Dave Tobe from the Kansas City
Chiefs. If I am indeed Dave Tobe, I would like
to tell everyone that the botched kicks and penalties
are all the fault of Donald Trump. I do look
to be in high demand in off -season. High school
coaching is where it's at. Peewee League not
included, but I might have to work my way up.
Chiefs fans, get your shit together. Cass Sherwood
R1, here I come. The following is a parody. A
parody and nothing but a parody. So don't get
your panties in a wad. Well, hey there, fellas.
This is Lil Skippy Bayless. And I like to say
that I am a jealous little bitch, and I only
mouth off about my homes and the Chiefs is because
I have to latch on to something relevant as an
attempt to make me relevant. But it isn't working.
Well, I gotta go. I have a new Dak Prescott poster
I need to run one out to. See ya! We're about
ready to deliver you a very biased, skewed, inaccurate
description of the NFL. Yes. And more Chiefs
talk, of course. Yeah. Hey, we can even touch
on some NBA and MLB as far as the gambling scandal
goes. Oh, yes. That's the only thing I want to
cover from either of those sports. That's it.
I don't care about anything else from those sports.
Yes. Except someone's going to prison. I think
several someones are going to prison. Yeah. Some
high -profile people are going to prison. You
see, I didn't think that existed in today's world,
did you? No, no, I thought everybody was kind
and sweet and gentle. Oh, no, I meant it the
other way around. I meant like, it's like, so,
they were gambling a little. Leave them alone.
Oh, yeah, I see what you're saying, yeah. the
willingness to point a finger and do something
about it is new. Yeah, yeah, no, I find that
surprising that they're like, well, you know
what, they're a hamlet, so they're probably going
to get 20 years. Yeah. And also the fact that
it's involved with the mob and everything gives
it a whole other, it's like people right now
are scratching their head going, that doesn't
exist anymore, does it? Guess what? Yeah, when
the Sicilian slash Italian mob in America was
on the outs, the Russian mob moved right in.
So did the Chinese and the Hong Kong and the
Vietnamese. You notice they didn't say which
mob. They just said the mob. There are African
mobs, too. Or actually, you know what? No, no,
no. They said the mafia. Mafia. Okay, that would
be Italian. Well, anyhow. But still, I think
part of the outrage would stem from now that
gambling is mainstream and everyone's doing it,
suddenly your average gambler wants it to be
a fair chance to win. It's like, hey, if you're
out here fixing this and you want me to gamble
on it, screw you. I want to gamble and have it
be something I could win. My question is, how
long did they know about this until they had
to do something? Some of these investigations
go on for a year or more, and they let people
keep losing money in the meantime. Yeah, I'm
thinking this right here is everyone's getting
their cut, so they're like, well, we can't really
prove that. We may think that, but we don't have
the resources to go after them. Then all of a
sudden, whenever each joke down there is losing
money. It's like we're going to have to do something
because if we don't do something about this and
this gets out, no one's going to gamble again
ever. Yeah, yeah. Another example of that is
recently President Trump signed a bill outlawing
certain things having to do with hemp products
that are made into a synthetic THC. Oh, yeah,
yeah. And it's really going to hamper the hemp
industry in this country because pretty much
all of hemp can be chemically altered to make
a kind of fake THC. Well, that's pretty much
what they do now, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. But now
they're starting to say you can't ship it federally
interstate. There's a lot more controls on it.
And Jesse was saying, you know, this seemed random.
Why in the world is he doing this? And my response
is somebody didn't get bribed. And this is the
punishment for not paying off the right person.
So as soon as the right bribe hits the right
hand, that legislation is going to go away. And
think of how many other laws we have or don't
have because money changed hands in the correct
fashion. It's true. It's happening. Just get
used to it. Yeah. No, it's funny. I'm glad you
brought that up because that's really all I wanted
to talk about there of any of those two sports.
Yeah. Other than that, I got a big I don't care.
Pretty much. Okay, well, how do you feel about
the Chiefs win? Not really good. I really don't.
I mean, the defense really did a good job against
the Colts. They had, what, six straight stops?
Yeah. We hadn't heard that since last year. Kept
Taylor to less than 100 yards. That was amazing.
Yeah, it was like 74. And Kareem Hunt got over
100. Yeah, isn't that crazy? And you know what?
I thought about betting that too. I just had
a feeling. Yeah. Kareem Hunt. Here's where, in
my opinion, the Chiefs have been missing the
boat on Kareem Hunt. He is the back that the
more work you give him, the better he gets. Yes,
and as much as I hate to admit Romo is correct
about anything, Romo said that. It's like, you
keep feeding him, and he gets in the rhythm,
and he keeps going. You need to keep feeding
Kareem Hunt the ball. It's like, damn it, Romo's
correct. I hate that. Yeah, and I actually had
an email about that saying, you said that first,
and I couldn't take credit. That's pretty fucking
obvious. He didn't listen to the podcast and
go, hey, I'm going to use that. No. No. It's
pretty obvious. He's the type of back. But I
appreciate this person. Giving you the credit?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Getty, I think is his name
or something like that. He emails every now and
then. But thank you, Getty, when you hear this.
I'm pretty sure you listen to all of them. Thank
you for that compliment. But no, Romo did. I
didn't send a reply. But no, Romo did not steal
from me. I guarantee you. He's not listening
to two douchebags in a microphone going, hey,
I think that's going to, I'm going to use that.
No, it's pretty obvious that that's what happens.
It is possible for more than one person to come
up with something at the same time. Bingo, especially
something that obvious. Years and years ago,
you remember the album, the band Night Ranger?
And one of their first hits had the repeating
line, don't tell me you love me, don't tell me
I don't want to know. Like six months before
that song came out, I wrote a song with that
in the lyrics, that exact phrase, those exact
same phrases. Too bad you didn't have it notarized.
I know, I know. And then that song came out,
I was like, holy cow, there's absolutely no way
they stole that from me. The only explanation
is we each came up with it independently at roughly
the same time. Well, that's how come it's so
hard to prove plagiarism. Yeah, yeah. I mean,
how many rhythms, how many beats, how many melodies
and harmonies are there in the whole world? Yeah.
You know, there's got to be a cap on them. And
every one of them's probably been used just in
slightly different ways. So, I mean, what do
you do? I mean, you know, virtually every rock
song in the 70s. We're the same court. Yeah.
Yeah. Pretty close. Yeah. So, anyhow. All right.
Let's go ahead and go into this a little bit.
All right. I'm still not happy with Chris Jones.
No. At all. No. People are going, well, he finally
brought it. What game are we on? 11? Yeah. Okay.
So, he now finally brought it. I didn't see anything
he brought. How many sacks did we get? Absolutely
none. Yeah. None. No sacks. Our leading sacker
is Carl Loftus with five sacks. That's dismal.
That's abysmal. I think they said the team had
11 sacks total going into the game. That averages
two per game. The guy from Seattle got seven
in one fucking game. Yeah, well, they sacked
Josh Allen four times. Yeah, yeah, four times.
It can be done. Yeah, it can be done. So I'm
saying that the defensive scheme is to not sack
the quarterback because they're not getting it
done. No, I agree. I think they started doing
that this game. They're going more into coverage
because they're not getting in anyhow. Yeah,
yeah, if you're not, yeah, that's exactly, I've
yelled that at the TV several times. If you're
not going to get to them, quit trying, get into
coverage. Yeah. Do it. Yeah, I mean, I didn't
think our defensive line was that abysmal, but
evidently we are. Yeah, I remember three or four
or five weeks ago, I was hearing some guys on
the radio talking about how many times the Chiefs
have brought just all -out blitzes. It got hurt.
Way more times than the whole rest of the league
does. Oh, it was like over triple. And the reason
is because they don't trust their D -line to
get it done. Exactly. I mean, it's very plain
and very obvious. You know, if you trust someone
to do it, you don't hire three assistants for
it. You can't do like the Eagles where they're
like, just send three people. Yeah. Yeah. It's
like, one of them will get through, and if not,
then we got everybody in coverage. We got it
done anyhow. But, unfortunately, sending three
people works against the Chiefs pretty dang well.
They always get in there. Yep. You have five
guys blocking, three guys coming in, and Mahomes
gets clobbered. Well, I think if we have Jalen
Moore back and Josh Simmons back, and they're
healthy, that's going to shore up that line a
lot. Yeah. That's going to help. And then Trey
Smith got hurt. Let's hope he's not. Oh, shoot.
Yeah, yeah. I think he's okay, I believe. But,
yeah, they need Trey Smith. Otherwise, we're
getting Kelly Endo. Yeah, what's his name? The
comedian's brother. Yeah, Frank Caliendo's brother.
Yeah, Mike Caliendo, Frank Caliendo's brother.
Yeah, and yeah, they're still eating pizza, but
it is not an Italian joke. No. A lot of people
enjoy pizza. I enjoy pizza. I enjoy pizza, too.
I'm mostly German. See? There you go, my point
right there. All right, let's see. The offense
for the Chiefs. My overwhelming feeling on the
Chiefs offense is when the Chiefs are running
the ball, they do well. When they're passing
the ball, Mahomes doesn't have enough time. He
bails too early. He starts running around. And
when he does throw the ball, the defender is
like glued to the receiver. And you know who
said that? Romo. Yep. Yeah. And that's what I'm
saying is Romo gets all this heat. I learned
to think the guy's pretty good. I used to think
he was a loud mouth. No. I got to really listening
to what he's saying, and he's just telling me
the truth. Yeah, yeah. I'm coming to that opinion
myself. Instead of he's an idiot and I want him
to shut up, it's okay, he knows what he's saying,
he just talks too much. Yeah. He needs to choose
his words a little more carefully and know when
to stop talking. That's the thing right there.
Yeah. And that goes to his partner who's relatively
new to him. Oh, no, that's Jim Nance. Jim Nance
needs to step in and shut him down a little bit
more. Yeah, because when Brady was doing that
on season one, his co -host, partner, whatever,
worked with him and was not afraid to step in
and shut him down. You need someone to do that.
And Romo would be the same. You know, I'm sure
that he listens to these tapes and cringes sometimes,
too. I would think. Yeah. But, I mean, the guy
tells the truth, that he knows what he's talking
about. I mean, he's a guy that calls the plays.
He's going to go, I'll tell you what they're
going to do now. And he's always right. Yeah,
pretty often. Yeah, he's an extremely intelligent
football guy, and he shows it. So, anyhow. Yeah,
I'm starting to think he's. He's playing a character
for us. The goofy, slightly brain -addled quarterback
who got too many hits, and he's just a happy,
fun guy. He's almost like Gronkowski, but without
the creepy sexual humor. Yes! Good point. Well,
Romo, he does not bag on Mahomes. No. People
think he does. When Mahomes brought that back,
he said that's classy. Yeah. He said the guy
willed the team to victory like he always does.
Yeah. But actually, the biggest battle was fought
and won by Travis Kelsey. And that's when Kareem
Hunt, he was going over 100 yards and he had
that fumble deep in the red zone. Yeah. The first
thing Kelsey did, went over there and he goes,
we got you. Yep. He went and hugged him and slapped
him on the back or helmet. Yeah. And you can
see it in Hunt's face. We're going to get this.
And you see it. Everybody around him is like,
we're not worried now. Yeah. That's not going
to be the thing that keeps us from winning. Don't
worry about it. Keep going. Yeah, exactly. Schottenheimer
was really good about doing that for his players,
too. Speaking of Schottenheimer, we're going
to see his son here. Yeah, that's on Thursday.
Yeah, Thursday. But, yeah, Schottenheimer is
really good about it. He's like, you know when
this victory ends? 12 o 'clock tonight. Yeah.
Yeah. Tuesday. we're looking at the next game.
Yep. He said, go ahead and celebrate. You've
got one day. Yeah. That's it. But he was right.
Yeah. Don't live in the past, man. The future's
coming at you full speed. Schottenheimer, with
all his flaws, though, if he ever had the quarterback,
imagine the damage he would have done in the
NFL. Oh, yeah. I mean, he never had that guy.
No, no. He thought he did with Kosar. Yeah, he
thought he did with Kosar. But Kosar was, yeah,
like a Jim Kelly. Yeah. It was also, I mean,
actually, Josh Allen. Yeah. Which we've got a
bullet point about Josh Allen that I want to
discuss, too. But we'll get to that here in a
little bit. I want to say congratulations to
Bernie Kosar. He got his liver transplant. Oh,
he did? Yes. Good. I like him. He's a good guy.
I'm glad he did. Yeah. Good. I think it's the
second one, the first one he rejected. That's
right. Yeah, well, hopefully this works. Yeah.
The liver is easier to transplant with a lot
of things. Yeah. Yeah. So they're actually starting
to grow some, too. So we'll see how that goes.
Yeah. Yeah. If they could grow them to temper
into what they need them to, you know, because
the body is so weird about stuff like that, you
know. Yeah. Well, it needs to be anyway. Okay.
So the game. I have never. Well, I've seen games
like this before, and we usually lost them, and
that's the only difference is. But the deal that
you can go to the end zone or close to the end
zone that many times and not score is insane.
It's mind -boggling. You look at the stats, and
we were tripling everything they did, including
running the ball. Yeah. Well, I remember some
drive -killing. and score killing penalties.
Uh -huh. I remember that phantom face mask they
called. I was mad at Jawan Taylor, but actually
that was a bullshit call. That was absolute.
I apologized to him on the TV screen. I said,
that wasn't your fault, man. I'm sorry for blaming
you. I motherfucked him on the podcast, and I
got to watch the replay, and I'm like, oops.
But that's all right. He's done enough in the
past. He can handle it. No, that was not his.
And this is a great example of how the game is
influenced. That took away a touchdown and also
made us get three points that we needed. So the
thing, and also the game would have turned right
then with the momentum. So, and when they got
to stop us at three, the momentum was still theirs.
So, you know, the thing is, is this right here,
the refs are not doing us any favors. And they're
not going to be. And everybody else that says
any different are fucking fools or liars. I've
been saying it all along. You keep saying the
chiefs are the bad guys getting all the calls.
It's not the chiefs. Somebody else is making
these decisions. And the chiefs have been the
beneficiary because that's what worked out for
whoever's made this decision. But suddenly it's
not anymore. So it's not the chiefs' fault. No.
It's whoever decided that the officials should
influence these games in these ways and the tide
has turned against the Chiefs and somebody else
has turned to get the awesome calls. Well, I
think the Zebras are, I think that they're conflicted
because you'll see a phantom call go the Chiefs
way, then you'll see a phantom call go the other
way. This is back when the calls are going their
way. Yeah. And I've seen them have the retaliation
for the call itself. Yeah. And they admitted
they do that too. That's true. I remember a print
article a number of years back where the referee
of a certain crew went on record saying, yes,
we do make make -up calls. If we blow a call,
then we'll do a make -up call later in the game
to try to even it out. That's the last thing
I want to hear. So they're admitting that they
influence games when it suits them. I mean, they're
going on record saying that. And you know what
happened as a result of him saying that? Nothing.
Exactly. Because the NFL's fine with it. The
gamblers are fine with it. Everybody's fine with
it. Yeah. So quit complaining when the game is
getting massaged and influenced and steered a
different direction. That's what they've always
been doing. And, you know, it's up to you to
gamble on it or not. Oh, yeah. Well, okay. I've
got it. Okay. I've said this for a long time,
and I think you agree with me. I'm not for sure.
If not, then please tell me what you think. All
right. I think that a good team, a Super Bowl
-caliber team, doesn't care. The calls are against
them or not. They don't care. They're going to
win. Yeah, absolutely. And that's what the Chiefs'
mentality has been, like, all right, we got a
bad call. We don't care. See that end zone there?
We're going to be there again. Don't worry about
if the officials cooperate. Don't worry about
if the other team cooperates. Don't worry about
if the weather cooperates. Make your own plan.
Do what you can do. Concentrate on what you can
actually do. And never give up. Yeah. I mean,
every Super Bowl, even the ones we lost, we were
behind by 10 points. Yeah. A lot of teams, they're
like, okay, we made it here. All right, we're
happy. You know. But the Chiefs never had that
mentality. It's like, no, this isn't good enough.
Yeah. We're going to come back. And a lot of
that is Mahomes. A lot of it's Kelsey. A lot
of it's Andy Reid. A lot of it is the defensive
guys, too. I mean, Chris Jones is a great locker
room guy to an extent, but I also question whether
he's a malcontent, like I said before. Yeah.
It bugs me that right after he got that fat contract,
suddenly he's just not all that motivated. No.
No. And that pisses me off because... The money
we could have used that on, like an offensive
line. Yes. We're not getting the sacks, so why
do we need them? Yeah, I mean, if he was setting
up Karloftis and Karloftis was ever record -setting
season, then that would be one thing. That would
be different, yeah. But it's, what, JJ or TJ,
whichever one is playing, Watt. TJ, I think.
TJ, yeah, he's five sacks away from tying the
all -time single -season sack record. Yeah. Five
sacks away. You know, won a game and he's got
it. Wow. And the Chiefs are struggling along
to break double digits with the whole team put
together. Yeah, and a lot of that is, frankly,
I mean, we haven't had the picks for so long
either. True. that we couldn't get it. But still,
I mean, they found enough to get Mahomes when
we were having a playoff season and they still
ran up and got him. Yeah. And that's also due
to other people's ignorance too. Yeah. You know,
going, oh, that guy's – his footwork's wrong.
Everybody says it in the NFL Network. Yeah. Got
to be true. Don't get him. I guess it's a lot
easier to miss on a quarterback pick than on
alignment. Yes. Offense or defense. I mean, generally
a lineman, you can get something out of them
unless their name is Brian Josuak. Yeah. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. Or what was the guy in Green Bay,
Marinovich, or no? That was the quarterback guy.
Yeah, yeah, Marinovich, Todd Marinovich. That
was the quarterback guy. But anyway, Green Bay
drafted this offensive lineman number one overall,
and he was just a steroid queen. Yeah, what the
hell was his name? Yeah, he couldn't play. Just
not at all. Yeah. And then his body was so fragile
from the steroids that he just broke apart. If
I was NFL, I would have said, you know what,
come here, come here. We're going to give you
a pick. We're sorry. Yeah. I'm pretty sure that
guy's name ended in bitch. It was something bitch,
yeah. Yeah. Big old meat -headed guy. Yeah. But
after all that came out, I looked at him and
said, I should have noticed. It was just a big
steroid influence bag of whatever. Yeah. So,
all right, so the Chiefs won, but, I mean, okay.
They won ugly. Yeah, they won ugly. There's a
lot to be said for that, yes, but there's also
a lot to not be said for that either. Look, the
Colts are 8 -2, and as Dick Vermeule used to
point out, you are your record. Yeah. So a 5
-5 team, well, they came here. Beat an 8 -2 team,
yeah, okay. And it took overtime. Is there really
shame in that, or is there shame in that because
of the caliber of team we've been in the past?
Yeah, for me, I think it's because you're not
performing up to your potential. Yeah, you can
get to the end zone ten times and only score
once. And Indy was helping with all the penalties
they were committing. Yes. I mean, there were
a lot of times when pass interference saved a
drive. Yes. and flipped the field. So the Chiefs
benefited greatly from Indianapolis having a
really bad day. Yeah. And also, you've got to
give that to the Chiefs, too. You play somebody
hard. They stepped up and took advantage. Yeah,
they're going to be holding and getting in front
of you if you're open. And also, I kind of see
a little bit more of what they see in Hollywood
Brown now. Yeah. He's a detour. He's like a decoy.
Not a detour, but a decoy. To a lot of extent.
Yeah, yeah. I remember mentioning to my wife
about halfway through the third quarter, have
you heard Hollywood's Browns name mentioned at
all? No. No. It's like they haven't even thrown
to him. No. If they re -sign him, I'm going to
be furious. Yeah, yeah. Thornton should be over
there. Thornton should have that spot. By the
end of the season, Thornton's going to have somebody's
spot. I'm not sure who. When Noah Gray goes out,
Who do they have because he is injured or he
was injured? Well, we got Tunyon, who they signed
from the Packers. Yeah. But behind him, I don't
know who they got. You could put a receiver in
there. Yeah. That could be Thornton. I'd love
to see how that works. If it's strictly going
to be a blocking tight end, then you could just
have a lineman come in. Exactly. But you're short
on those two. You're short. Yeah, that's true.
We'll have to see what the injury report is.
But I don't know if I even want our lineman even.
I don't know. Yeah. They got enough on their
plate. They got enough. Before they have to come
in and sub as a tight end. And that could be
one of the long and shorts of Thornton not being
in there. Yeah. They need more blocking. So that's
another thing, too. There's so many things that
we don't see behind the scenes either. You know,
in Hollywood Brown, they may just strictly be
like, you know, during the playoffs. Playoffs.
Playoffs. So he's going to have one huge run
that's going to save the game. And they know
this. And they're like, we're keeping him because
of that. He's worth the money. I mean, it's like
Darius Toney. They kept him, and people are like,
why in the hell are they keeping him? He could
have been the MVP easily in that Super Bowl.
Easily. Right place, right time, for sure. And
then after that, what'd he do? Took a dump right
there in the field. Oh, my gosh. That was one
of the best examples of falling off a cliff you'll
ever see. Well, yeah, he fell off a cliff, came
back, fell off a cliff again. Came back, and
then now he's, well, no, he quit his rapping
career. Now he wants to be known as a football
guy, I think is what they said. So you think
maybe some mental illness may be involved in
that too? Could be, could be. With the constant
changing of your life path or whatever? I don't
know. So, all right. We agree that that was an
ugly win. We're glad they won, but we also are
not really like. very enthusiastic about it either.
Yeah, there was some guy in the post -game highlight
show that was saying, oh, the Chiefs are back,
man. Watch out for the Chiefs. This really convinced
me. Bullshit. No, bullshit. Anybody at five minutes
left in the fourth quarter and we're down 20
-9 that thought that we were going to win is
either a fool or lying to themselves. Yeah. The
way we're playing and how abysmal they were.
And every time we ended up in the red zone and
not done a damn thing that day. And we thought
that things were going to change. And, I mean,
they changed just enough for us to win. Yeah.
There were a lot of circumstances happening that
worked out just right for the Chiefs to be able
to win that game in overtime. Yeah. And also,
you're looking at Daniel Jones. Isn't it Daniel
Jones? Yeah. Yeah, Daniel Jones, he's a paper
tiger. You know, you can, during the regular
season, you can do death by paper cut. Yeah.
When you start facing the elite, talented NFL,
death by paper cut dies. Yeah, yeah, he did seem
to be pretty uncomfortable in the second half.
Like, he couldn't quite figure out what was going
on. He started missing throws. They had something
figured out about him. Well, you take away, Daniel
Jones is a lot like Sam Darnold. You take away
the deep threat because he doesn't have that
kind of an arm. Oh, yeah. You take away the deep
threat, or not the deep threat. You don't worry
about the deep threat because he's going to probably
miss them one -on -one anyhow. What you worry
about is the slants and the depth by paper cut.
And now I think that's one of the things that
the Chiefs did was they're like, no, we're guarding
against a little dunk that the people are running
10 yards on. That's true, yeah. They get a little
three -yard pass and run for seven or eight or
ten. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, let them throw the
long ball because they'll miss or we'll pick
it off or something. Yeah, and that's where,
like, why you see the elite quarterbacks. Normally
you see the elite quarterbacks in the playoffs
and the Super Bowl is because of that. They have
a well – they're well -rounded. They can do everything
well, including running. Okay, so you have that
with Mahomes. You have that with Josh Allen.
You have that with Jalen Hurts. You have that
with the upper echelon quarterbacks, if you will.
Yeah. Although a lot of people – I'm the other
way about Hurts. I think Hurts is one of the
elite. A lot of people say no. But no, whenever
it really counts. He does it normally. I mean,
he didn't do it last game. It was complete failure
against – Oh, yeah. They were up 21 to nothing.
The Eagles and lost to the Cowboys 24 -21. And
all of these happen early in the game. Yeah.
So. Alex Smith, or no, somebody had an observation
about the Eagles offense. It was Alex Smith that
made this comment about the Eagles offense. I
love his commentary. I think he's really intelligent.
Well, obviously he is. Anyhow, go ahead. What
he said is the Eagles offense to him looks rudimentary.
Really? Yeah. See, I trust his opinion. He said
it's simple, it's basic. Without saying it, he
said it was dumbed down. Why in the world would
they do it? Jalen Hurts can run whatever offense
you want him to run. He's smart. He's capable.
He can do it. Why have they dumbed down the offense?
Is something missing? Is an offensive lineman
hurt or something? Could be. I'll have to look
a little more in -depth into it. They lost a
receiver, didn't they, or a couple? You know,
I haven't really been paying that much attention.
I don't like the Eagles, so I don't really pay
that much attention to them. But that just really
struck me. Why in the world? I mean, I believe
Alex Smith when he says they've dumbed down the
offense. Why in the world would they do that?
Yeah. I don't know. It makes you wonder if they're
doing that for now. That could be a thing is
they're saving themselves for the playoffs. They're
just showing only what they have to show. Yeah,
that's what I think. And hiding the rest. So,
yeah, it could be. I think it's that because
he watched Andy Reid, the guy that beat him in
the Super Bowl a few years ago when he got his
revenge last year. Yeah. So, I think he's kind
of like, they're showing us all this stuff that
they didn't show before. Okay, so I think there
may be some of that. He's like, you know what,
let's take a page out of his book, keep everything
vanilla. We know we're going to the playoffs.
Yeah. Playoffs, yeah. We're probably going to
have home field, but they're like us. They don't
care. They're like, just get us there. We'll
do the rest. That is a fine line to walk is,
you know, keep it simple enough you don't give
stuff away, but you still got to win. Yeah. And
they didn't. No. And I may be giving them way
too much credit. I may be giving them way too
much credit. You got to think they're smarter
than they appear because they did win it last
year. Yeah, they did. That's what I'm going off
of. is there were some brilliant moves they did
last year during the season that really solidified
what kind of team they had. Yeah. And besides
their drafting and their pickups and everything
were just brilliant. Yeah. Getting Barkley was
a big part of it. Barkley was huge. Yeah. So
they looked over at the Ravens and said, Travis
Henry, huh? Let's look around. Oh, Shaquan Barkley.
Yeah, and also, we hate New York anyhow, so,
you know, give them the big double barrel. Yeah.
And New York come back and said, we got Scataboo.
No, you don't. Yeah, right now he's fucking eating
Pop -Tarts, watching I Dream of Jeannie with
his leg up in there. I can't help it. Every time
I see that guy's name, I think it says Skater
Boy. It's not what an African -American gentleman
told me he thought it sounded like. And I was
like, oh, my God, I never thought about that.
I think I know what you're saying. Yeah. It starts
with a J. Yeah, but he could say that. I could.
Yeah. I was like, oh, oh, gotcha. About the closest
you can come is those semi -carnival people called
juggalos. Yes. That's similar to the word you're
thinking of. The ICP guys, the juggalos. What
was that one? There's an ICP song. Juggalos,
he's a Hulkamaniac and all this stuff. He is.
He is. I know a lot of proud juggalos, though.
A lot of them. Oh, my gosh. Who's going chicken
hunting? We ain't going chicken hunting. You
know, I got to listen to some of that again.
All right, let's see. What's the one song they're
doing where they're doing the dating game? And
they go, all right, bachelor number three, what
would you do when we first met? Well, the first
thing I'd do, I'd stick my finger in your face,
I'd call you a whore. And I'd just sit here going,
oh, my gosh, no wonder I don't hear this on the
radio. They can't play it. All right, okay, so
Cowboys, their Thanksgiving Day. You know what
worries me more than anything is? It's Thanksgiving
Day. Yeah. The Cowboys have a tradition. We don't.
The Cowboys are amped up because of their win
over the Eagles. The Eagles. The Eagles. They
had just an amazing game. Yeah, they did. Holding
them to virtually nothing after the 21 points.
Well, they did. They held them to no points after
that. And they came back and won in overtime
by three. Amazing. Or was it overtime? Or am
I getting that mixed up with the Chiefs game?
No, the Chiefs was overtime. The Chiefs was overtime,
yeah. So they came back and won. So that can
work two ways. The letdown game afterwards. True.
But this being Thanksgiving and this being his
dad's old team, pretty much you would call it
a regional, not a rivalry because they're not
in the same division, but new team versus former
team. There are a lot of different scenarios
and little lines going on there, some little
caption lines going on. Don't forget that before
they were the Kansas City Chiefs, they were the
Dallas Texans. That's what I was saying. Crosstown
rivals of the Dallas Cowboys. For two years,
they shared that city. So there's some residual
heat there, I'm sure. Yeah. Yeah, so I think
there's a – yeah. So, you know, I hate saying
this, but I don't see the Chiefs doing it. I
just – look, they pulled off that last game.
It was at home. But I love them, and I wish they
would. But I just don't – unless something –
they flipped a switch when all that happened
in the fourth quarter and them coming back in
overtime. Unless the switch was flipped and they
got some of it figured out, I don't see it. Yeah.
What about you? I'm kind of feeling like this
is turning into a win -one -lose -one season
for the Chiefs. Yeah, I think so. And we're going
to finish as close to 500 as you can with an
uneven number of games. Yeah, we're either going
to be one up or one down this year is the way
I see it. But, I mean, I've been wrong so many
times before. True, true. And I hope I am. I
do think the Chiefs' defense is starting to be
for real and something that you can start to
count on, or at least they can step up when it
counts. Okay, if you can do that, if they can
do what they've done the last two quarters, pretty
much the second half of this last game, if they
can repeat that to some degree. then you're going
to see the Chiefs will win. On the other hand,
it doesn't take a really good defense to beat
the Chiefs' offense this season. No, that's the
thing I'm worried about is more the offense than
I am the defense. The Colts didn't necessarily
have a great offense. They had a decent one.
They're run heavy, and Jones is doing well. But
they had to make a lot of mistakes for us to
have a chance to win in overtime. Yes. And I
look around at the league and all the great defenses
out there. I mean, the Texans have an awesome
defense. The Broncos have an awesome defense.
The Bills have a good defense. We're going to
have to get through those guys if we want to
do something in the postseason. The Texans are
next after Thanksgiving. Yeah, and the Texans
always play the Chiefs tough. And they have a
great defense. It's going to destroy. anything
the Chiefs try to do. The Chiefs are going to
have to do something really unexpected. I'm not
talking trick plays. I'm talking about not being
the team you've been. Don't take forever in the
pocket. Get the ball and within two seconds throw
it somewhere. Even if it means throwing it to
the sideline, throw it somewhere. Just give them
two seconds to react and do that all game long.
and you'll have a chance against their secondary.
But the longer you take, I can see a lot of interceptions
coming. I'm getting the game ahead, but I can
see a lot of interceptions against the Texans.
I could too. Hell, they intercepted Kelly four
times. Yes. God. I know. Or not Kelly, but Allen.
Allen, yeah, Josh Allen. They intercepted it
for him. No, no, no, actually pretty much the
same person right now. Sacked him eight times,
intercepted him four times. Yeah. We cannot have
that kind of performance and win. The only thing
is it's here, which helps. So it's going to be
an interesting game, that game right there. But,
okay, so what's your prediction? And I'm talking
about, like, how the game forms, how it starts
off, middle, ending. Us versus Cowboys. I'm seeing
a slow start by the Chiefs offense. The defense
is going to hang in there. I can see it being
within two scores at halftime. But the Chiefs
are going to be behind again. And I see the fourth
quarter being really ugly. Yes. Because by that
point, the O -line for the Chiefs is kind of
worn down. Mahomes is getting planted on his
ass. On just about every pass play, whether it's
a sack or whether he gets it thrown, he's still
getting hammered. Mistakes are going to get made,
and I pretty much see the Chiefs having trouble
scoring in the second half at all. Yes. So I'm
thinking Cowboys are going to win. Being at home
on Thanksgiving after an awesome win against
the Eagles, I just, you know, the Chiefs won,
but that wasn't the game to build on. That was
a game where you go, oh, thank God we didn't
lose that. Oh, skin of my nuts game. Yes. Like,
shoo. And that's not one that pumps you up. That's
one that scares you. Yeah. And you know what?
In the locker room, maybe they view it different.
Maybe they're kind of like, we sacked up and
did it. Yeah. But, okay, I think you're absolutely
right on everything pretty much. Unfortunately.
Yeah. One thing is, if they're going to. They
cannot go three and out and keep doing that.
No, yeah. Prescott is a really good passer when
he's out throwing interceptions. Yeah. He's really
good. But he's kind of like Derek Goff was the
last few years. Not this year, though, but the
last few years. If he gets on an interception
tirade, look for several. Yeah. Don't look for
one. Look for like 30 of them. Yeah, that's a
good point. Yeah. Yeah. So it was just like Brock
Purdy last night. Yes. My God, what happened
to that guy's eyes? Three drives in a row, Purdy
was picked off to kill the drive. I know. Amazingly,
they still won. Well, it's Carolina. Yeah, the
Panthers' offense isn't doing much. But, yeah,
the Panthers' defense shows everyone that the
Niners aren't really what they think they are.
I never thought they were that anyhow. No. No,
even when they were winning with Mac Jones, not
Daniel Jones, Mac Jones, even when they were
winning with Mac Jones, it looked to me kind
of like a – Oh, what would you call it? Like
a fake. Yeah. Kind of. Yeah. So, yeah, we both
are in agreement on the Chiefs game. We think
they're going to come up short. Yeah. Like you
said, this season just smells to me of a win
one, lose one, like you said. Yeah. Another thing
that's really concerning me lately is the number
of passes that Mahomes is having tipped and batted
away. How about the interceptions? It's blatant.
Yeah, directly throwing it to the guy. What the
hell? Mahomes used to be able to throw around
the guy or fake him out, make him jump, and then
throw. And that's just gone now. That's out of
his repertoire, apparently. They're baiting him.
They're learning his idiosyncrasies and they're
baiting him. They're using AI. That's it right
there. I really do think that they studied him
enough to where they know his tendencies. They're
like, okay, if I dart to the left, he's going
to think that I'm over there. They're doing little
things like that that we don't even necessarily
see because of the camera. But if you went to
the quarterback's coach or something and go,
what is going on? They're going to go, yeah,
what they're doing is they figured him out. And
what we're trying to do is we're trying to do
this. We know he's going to throw a couple interceptions,
but you wait until later on in the game. They're
going to be used to him doing this, and we're
going to do that. There's so much of that chess
stuff going on, it's really hard to tell. There
was a Super Bowl between the Raiders and the
then Washington Redskins, now Commanders. And
at one point in the game, the Washington team
was on their own like 15, and they lined up in
a certain formation. and the Raiders defensive
coach said, I've seen that before on game film.
They're going to throw a screen out to the left.
So he sent Jack Skwirek, remember Jack Skwirek?
Yeah, I remember him, yeah. Big, tall linebacker.
They sent him in and told him, you run right
out there where I know he's going to throw the
ball. And sure enough, when the play started,
Skwirek ran right there, picked it off, and ran
it in for a touchdown. Because he knew for dead
certain. exactly what that play was and how to
beat it. And I'm starting to hear that one of
the Chiefs receivers, I think it's worthy, has
a tell. And that opposing teams know when it's
a pass and he's the primary receiver. And also
Taylor, too. Yeah, Taylor. Juan Taylor with his
foot. Yeah, when he puts his foot back, it's
a pass. Now that they know that, you can bait
teams. Yes, I hope that you start using that.
I do one -on -one -off. One on, one off. Yep.
Just really mind -fuck them. But they better
figure out what that tail is on their receiver.
The tail on the receivers, I think, is stance.
Yeah, generally it's the stance, where they're
looking. Yeah, yeah. And I can see that, too,
because I would probably not be very far off
of that either. It'll be like, all right, concentration,
I've got to get open. So you're eyeballing that
area that you're at. Sometimes it's as simple
as that. Yeah. You know, it's kind of like he's
looking over the sideline going, okay, I've got
to get to the 40. I do a quick loop around to
the left. And that's okay if you do that on the
running plays when all you're doing is being
a decoy. Yeah. If you do that same thing and
do it every single time, then it's okay. But
if, yeah, they can figure out it's like, oh,
his attitude's different. He's standing a little
different. Last time he did this, it was a pass.
And there may be stuff Mahomes is doing too.
Yeah. As good as he is, you can't catch everything.
Yeah, yeah. They pay people a lot of money to
study these. It's like Major League pitchers.
And Mahomes was a pitcher in college. You'd think
he'd be well -versed on hiding what you're about
to do. You'd have to be a pitcher more than anybody.
Yeah. Because look at a pitcher that tips his
throws. Yes. They get murdered. They do. It starts
off with like 10 jacks. 450 jacks. 450. foot
jacks. Something's going on here. He's throwing
good, but they're hitting the piss out of him.
I heard one coach put it as, this guy throws
a hell of a curveball, but he throws it like
he's throwing a curveball. So it's an automatic
ball every time. Everybody, here we go. Okay.
Ten. Nine. Like the LaRue pitch. That thing was
fun. Google it. Yeah. L -E -R -O -U -X. Yeah.
Yeah, LaRue. His pitch was basically throwing,
what, 12 foot in the air. There were great hitters
that were mind -fucked the rest of the year after
that. They couldn't get their timing back. He
would throw it up 12 foot in the air, and it
would break, come straight down, and hit the
strike zone. Yes. That's got to screw with your
head. Oh, my God, the LaRue pitch. But whenever
that didn't work, you get 10 jacks in a row,
like I said, 450 -yard footers and all that.
But whatever that thing was on is unhittable.
Yeah. I mean, it was like a knuckleball on steroids.
Yes. I mean, that doesn't even do it justice.
That thing was so out of nowhere. And I'm sure
he did it by accident, too. Well, the way it
works, I mean, we think we watch the ball, and
when it's in the right place, we swing and we
hit it. Yes. But our reflexes aren't that quick.
No, it goes up in there and you're like, oh,
ball, okay. Yeah. Every time the ball is thrown,
the hitter predicts where the ball is going to
be. Yeah. By the time he swings his bat and the
bat gets to this point, he's predicting the ball
will be there too. And the guys that are the
better at predicting get hits. And the guys that
can't make that prediction very well don't get
hits. Because once you see it where you want
it. You don't have time to hit it. It's already
passed. And that's what I meant about the timing
being going off. You throw off a hitter's timing
and they're ruined. And they're used to watching
the ball come in and then predicting the moment.
But if it's, like, way above your head dropping
straight down, it's harder to gauge the speed
of that. It is. You just can't do it. Yeah. All
you can do is, like, hold your bat out there
and try to get a punt, I guess. Yeah, because
you're not swinging on that. You're going to
miss every time. Yes. It's coming from up in
the air. from the sky, basically, instead of
coming straight directly in front of you. Yeah,
it's the difference between running towards somebody
in order to tackle them, or you're running forward
and they're running sideways across you. They
try to time that hit. Yeah, it's virtually impossible
to do. And even if you were schooled on that
and you grew up on that, still, it's almost impossible
to figure out. It was around a few years, but
eventually, like everything else, they catch
up to you. He can't go quite right. You know,
I mean, that thing right there had to be done
precisely the way it needs to be done. If not,
like I said, you get ten home runs in a row,
and it's like, he doesn't have it today, take
him out. Yeah. So, I got some bullet points.
All righty. All right. I just wanted to comment
that. The atmosphere here today, the temperature,
the sun, the clouds, and the smell of all this
food cooking, it really feels like a fall festival,
doesn't it? It does, doesn't it? I love it. It
feels like I'm out at the Shawnee Mission Farms
or whatever that place is over there. The Lewisburg
Cider Mill. Yeah, Pioneer Days, wherever. It
just has that fall festival kind of feeling to
it. It does. All we need to do is smell kettle
corn right now. Yeah. Or funnel cakes. Oh, funnel
cakes and kettle corn, yes. Yeah, I don't see
any. I'd even take funnel corn or kettle cakes
at this point. I'm sure they're very good. Okay,
I'm distracted from the bullet points. No, no,
that's all right. You deep fry all of them, whatever
it is. You could deep fry this cup right here,
and it would be fucking delicious. Yes, it would.
A little chewy, but delicious. All right. Josh
Allen, bullet points. Josh Allen, suddenly it
doesn't look so good. How in the world do the
Chiefs make Buffalo look so good every year?
During the regular season. The regular season,
yeah. Is it designed like that? It's partly,
as they say, Andy Reid expects to meet Buffalo
in the playoffs, so he's going to be a little
more generic. And, you know, of course he wants
to win because that's a good tiebreaker. But
I think Buffalo more takes the attitude of we're
going to win against the Chiefs every single
opportunity we can. Regular season, preseason,
wherever, we're going to try to beat them and
win just to convince our guys, see it get done.
Plus, I think the Bears have somebody on their
squad. coaching -wise are in their office somewhere
who is really good at analyzing Chiefs games.
Yeah. And catching whatever trend the Chiefs
are on by leading up to the Bills. It's like,
okay, here's what's trending, here's what they're
doing. You see, and I think that the devil's
in the details, like always. Here's the deal.
I think that they do that by design. They're
like, all right, we're going to lose this one.
It's out of conference. Or out of division, not
conference. It's out of division. Who cares?
It's probably not going to decide ultimately
whether we're home field or not. And either way,
the Chiefs win on the road. Yeah, they don't
care. They've won there. They've won here. Yeah,
they don't care. So what I'm saying here is I
think it is by design by the Chiefs to throw
a vanilla game out there because they don't want
them knowing anything because they're always
their Chief rival. Now, that's not taking anything
away from Josh Allen and the Bills. No. Because
the Chiefs should be able to win anyway, even
with a vanilla game. And the Bills are still
beating the Chiefs and making it look fairly
easy and fairly safe. No, no, no. That wasn't
a slight on the Bills. No, not at all. I'm just
saying that the reason it's so lopsided usually
is because of that. Because Andy Reid's like,
all right, we're going to lose this. We don't
care. He probably went in there going, look,
guys, I'd really love for us to win, but if not,
it's not the end of the world. But you know that's
got to screw with the players. They're out there
thinking all the time, you know, I blew that
play, but oh well, doesn't matter. I think that's
counterproductive. I'm sure it is happening,
but I wish it wasn't. I really don't think it's
a good idea. I hope they take this game coming
up. Well, they need every game to be taken seriously
because this, the Texans, if they can win both
of them, then you're going to start looking at,
who was it? Some bottom feeders, the Raiders,
oh, Titans. Yeah. Yeah. But we still have to
play Denver again. Yeah, we have to play Denver
and the Chargers again. And the Chargers. And
the Chargers are going to get up for us no matter
what their record is. Yeah, yeah. So it's going
to be interesting, but our path to the playoffs
this year, I think, is this right here, overtaking
the Chargers in the division. Yeah, go for that
wild card. Yeah, yeah. You're not going to get
– Denver's too far ahead unless there's a collapse
and we get our shit together. Yeah. Yeah, I think
you've got to count on no home games in the playoffs
this year. It's going to be interesting to see
though, isn't it? It will be, yeah. Well, if
they make it, I kind of doubt that. I don't see
the Chiefs making it. There aren't enough weak
teams in the wild card hunt, and the Chiefs have
lost every team in the wild card hunt. Yeah,
that's what I was going to say. Every one of
them you already look bad on. But we'll see.
We'll see. All right. The lowest seeds to win
the Super Bowl are the 2005 Steelers and the
2010 Green Bay Packers, both of whom won as the
number six seed. This year kind of suggests there
could be a repeat. I would say so. Who would
that or those teams be? As far as sixth seed?
Yeah, sixth seed. I think right now isn't Tampa
the sixth seed? Yes. I could see them doing it.
They have to really, really start firing on all
cylinders. Yeah, yeah. Right now, they're kind
of in disarray. They are, they are. They can
pull it together if they work hard, but... Baker
Mayfield might be injured. Yeah, he's probably
hiding it again. Yeah. No, if they could get
their shit together, they could. Yeah. They could
make a hell of a run. But that's a big if. Yeah.
Possibly the Steelers. Because they were so good
for a while, and now they're having all sorts
of trouble. They could turn it around again.
Yeah. The Steelers have a decent shot. The Chiefs,
of course, if they can get there, then you cannot
count. There's no way you can count them out.
If they get there, then I would almost say that
you're going to plan on them winning at least
two games. Yeah. I think the only team to win
the Super Bowl as a wild card was the Chiefs.
I think it was the Raiders. Oh, I thought the
Chiefs won 10 -6 as a wild card. The Raiders
did. I'll have to check again, but I remember
at least in the modern era. Oh, the modern era.
Yeah. From like 70 on. 71 on. That would have
been the Chiefs. I remember the record was 10
-6, but I don't know if that was good enough
to own the division at the time. Yeah. I'll double
check on that, but I remember hearing at one
point the only team to win the Super Bowl as
a wild card was the Raiders. The Raiders did.
I don't know if they were Oakland or Los Angeles
at that point. They were Oakland. Oakland, yeah.
And it was in the 70s. Yeah. And that was with
their famous running back. And who was their
quarterback? No, no, no, no. In the 70s? Yeah.
They had Plunkett. Yeah, Plunkett was one of
them. It might have been Plunkett. And then they
had a really good running back. Was it Noah Marcus
Allen yet? No, not yet. Oh, well, you know what?
It doesn't matter. All right. And Marv Hubbard.
Yeah, there we go. Yeah, Jim Plunkett, he went
to the Super Bowl and he won one. Yeah. Yeah,
that could have been Plunkett. All right, if
the Chiefs fail to make the playoffs this season,
will Andy Reid call it a day? No, I don't think
so. No. I don't think he's still coming back.
He looks to me like he's still on it, still loves
doing it, still loves coaching the team, loves
his players. I don't think he could leave his
players right now. I think his players are his
family. I am kind of wondering if the Chiefs
fail to make the postseason, will Kelsey still
retire? Okay. Would he want to end on that kind
of season, or is he like, damn it, one more?
It makes me wonder if anything short of a Super
Bowl win is going to bring him back. Yeah. And,
you know, with the fire and passion he's shown
this year, I could see him coming back easily.
Yeah. I mean, he's having a great season. Yeah,
and he didn't definitely say he was retiring.
He's just making it seem like it's a pretty strong
possibility. He's mulling it over every day.
But he's got to, let's see, his wife, well, his
future wife, his fiancee, is going to be on tour
for the foreseeable future and making albums.
Why wouldn't he want to continue his career?
There's a good point to that, yeah. He's had...
All the records that he could be getting to.
He's had his experience of joining her in her
career and lifestyle, appearing in her concerts
and traveling with her. And as a result, he sucked
on the field. So I think he realizes it's one
or the other. I think he brought it back home.
He continues on what he's doing. I think he's
got 700 yards right now with, what, five games
to go? He's gonna have 1200 yards something like
that. That's gonna be up there with one of his
best seasons And for a tight end, 1 ,200 yards
is phenomenal. He won't have the touchdowns because
he's not getting as many. Nobody's getting as
many touchdowns. Until they get this thing figured
out, it's not happening. It's a low -scoring
Chiefs team this season. Which defies all logic.
Yeah. Defies all logic. After we were hyped with
all these super -fast receivers and this is going
to be a vertical passing game. Oh, that was going
to be everything, remember? Yeah. That was going
to be everything. That was going to be everything
you ever imagined. Oh, my God. It's going to
be Air Mahomes. Now, I have to say this. Mahomes
is only behind, is it Stafford? It might be Matt
Stafford by, I don't know, maybe 80 yards as
the yards leader. Yeah. But his QBR rating is
like 92, which is not like Mahomes. No. So, he's
getting the yards. But he would have had a hell
of a lot more touchdowns if it wasn't for fucking
penalties. Oh, no kidding. That's just crazy.
Yeah, the penalties have been destroying him.
As in the last game and virtually every game
they've played this year, they've had at least
one touchdown called back. And I think they need
to seriously start considering fair catching
every kick. I think so, too. Because more than
half of the kick returns are called back for
holding or blocking the back or something. The
Chiefs just can't figure it out and can't do
it right. Oh, yeah, yeah. And then I'll also
go back to Dave Tobe. Yeah. Dave Tobe, to me,
is an idiot. And his heat reversal is just shallow
as hell. Because when people are questioning
him about, you know, the special teams have been
horrible this year, beyond horrible. I mean,
they don't even look like they practice. First
thing he does is start bitching about Trump,
President Trump, saying about the kickoff rules.
So he starts going off on that, and I don't care
if he hears me and all that. Shut up, you sack
of fat. Very obviously just a distraction. Yeah,
that's all. It's heat reversal. So everyone will
shut up about you. I'll get him. I'm going to
start talking about Trump, and he doesn't understand
the rules. It's like, shut up, you idiot. All
you're doing is make yourself look like a complete
asshole. Yes, calling a lot of attention to the
fact that he can't get it done. Nobody took his
side on that. Everyone's like, whether you like
Trump or not, they're like, shut up. Go ahead,
I'm sorry. I'm trying to come up with why the
kick return teams are so bad. It's either Taub
doesn't have the personnel to do it correctly.
So he's telling him, go out there and cheat and
break the rules and do what you have to do and
hope we get away with it. Well, as undisciplined
as he is. That could be it. Well, I mean, how
is he coaching his team the same way? Yeah. You
don't break character. You don't do that. You
don't ever respond to any type of criticism.
That's for us to do. Yeah. That's for me to make
little skits about Skippy Bayless like I did
and about Dave Tobe like I did. That's for us.
That's for us to do. Okay. It's either that or
he's just really bad at his job and he can't
figure out how to make it work. Well, as long
as he's been here, I've never seen the special
teams being that damn good. Have you? No, no.
And the penalties on the kick game have been
going up steadily. And this season is just awful.
He's lucky Andy Reid doesn't fire people midseason.
Yeah. He would have been gone a long time ago.
They should at least relieve him of his duties.
If they're not going to out and out fire him,
relieve him of his duties and put someone else
in there. Just call him an assistant, but have
him the actual coach. Have the assistant do it,
and then take the locker room and have him clean
the locker room. Say, hey, you're still getting
paid, you still have your title, but this is
what you do from now on. Yeah. Sit him down in
front of an old -school TV with Tecmo Super Bowl
and say, all right, start running kick returns
until you get it right. Meanwhile, we expect
this play spotless, by the way. You're going
to have the gag by Mike Caliendo. He likes to
take a dump in the corner. So, okay, so once
you get past that, you're fine. All you've got
to do is clean up that big hunk of shit left
in the corner, and then you're fine. and you
have to use your own toothbrush to scrub it.
Yes. If not, he's going to be in here. He's going
to be looking at your little tubby ass, that's
for sure, and smacking you around if you don't
do it right. It is so frustrating to see a guy
sitting there making enormous amounts of money
in an industry that makes enormous amounts of
money. It's all about winning, and he sits there
screwing up his job week after week, and nothing
happens. The team won't even acknowledge it.
Which infuriates me. Yeah, it's just so frustrating.
And at that point, I can either get really upset
and angry, or I can just stop caring so much
about the Chiefs. And that's what I'm doing.
I just kind of don't care. If they're going to
act like this and be like this and not tell us
anything, it's like, well, then I just don't
care so much. No, it's unbelievable. It's like,
you know what, I don't know. You're not really
treating me right with the answers, so I'm just
going to... Kind of take a step back and reevaluate
our relationship here. Let them know that we
don't like being treated this way. And, you know,
do it on an individual basis. You don't go make
a protest march or anything like this. Just decide
to not watch the game, the press conference,
the post game. You hit them with your wallet.
That's the only thing you can do. Yep. So, yeah,
so Dave Tobe should have been fired. Yeah. All
right, if you were the GM for the Bengals, Yeah.
Number one, would you fire Zach Taylor? Yes.
I would too. Number two, would you consider keeping
Joe Burrow? Yes. I don't know if I, you know,
I think I'd start looking for that replacement.
Oh, I would too. But, of course, I don't know
the day -to -day of the Bengals. I'm trying to
move out of the sun glare here. No, me too. It's
getting me too. Yeah, it's going to move in a
minute. Yeah. I think for now. Burrow's never
been, talent -wise, he's never been the problem.
Health -wise, he's been the problem. Yeah, and
that's what I'm saying is he's off of the field
half of the time at least. I mean, if I did the
figuring, I would bet he's off of the field half
of the time. Yeah. Now, as good as he is when
he's there, they went to the Super Bowl one time,
went down their leg, and they never sniffed it
ever since. Yeah. It's ended in Kansas City or
hasn't even got there. Yeah. So, and also. To
me, it seems like you have a team of a lot of
people going, aye, aye, aye. Yeah, yeah. Yeah,
that's not a cohesive team. I think that's a
symptom of Zack Taylor losing the team, as the
expression goes. You've got Jamar Chase spitting
on people. Yeah. Which he lied and lied and lied
about until they caught him on video. Yes. He's
in garbage. Yeah, and then he made up some other
shit. It's like, no, you already lied to us.
Just stop. Isn't that funny when people pivot
immediately from, I never did that to, well,
the reason I did it was. Yeah. It's like, dude,
you're busted. It's like, why don't we address
the fact that you lied up to this point? Let's
talk about that. Yeah, yeah, and then we'll go
to the act itself. But surprisingly, the majority
of the people I talk to, they don't care about
people lying. They're like, oh, yeah, I would
have lied too. Ew. Okay. I guess I'm different
than you. I don't know if I'd ever trust those
people again on anything. I mean, you don't hand
them your wallet and go, I'll be right back.
Yeah. That's for sure. All right. I think it's
possible to still build a team around Joe Burrow
that can make some noise. Zach Taylor's not going
to do it. All right. You know what? I just thought
about it, and I'm with you. Joe Burrow has too
much talent just to flush him. You have to get
a better offensive line. Yes. And change your
offensive scheme to something that doesn't put
him at such risk. Teach him to throw the ball
away. Tell him to quit running. Yes. Throw the
ball away. You're not a Mahomes. You're not a
Josh Allen. You're not a guy, Jalen Hurts. You're
not a guy that can absorb these hits. Yeah, and
you've got to realize that once you start taking
these hits, number one, it damages you and you
never fully recover, and two, it shows you that
what you're doing, you're going to take hits.
So you've got to change what you're doing. And
also change your haircut. Oh, absolutely. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. Your haircut commands I get hurt
all the time. I mean, it's kind of a delicate
haircut, wouldn't you say? It's like a big kick
me sign. Yes. It really is. Change that hair.
Smoking all the cigars you want, you still don't
look like a tough guy with that haircut. No,
no, no. You can smoke all the cigars you want.
You really look pretty delicate. I don't care.
You can have nunchucks and look delicate. If
you had brass knuckles, you'd still look delicate
with that haircut. So do something different.
Yeah. Number one, if I were you, I'd dye your
hair cold black. Yeah. Except your eyebrows.
And go with that and see how that works. Get
a haircut like Moe Howard of the Stooges. Yes.
Where it's like a helmet of hair and just straight
bangs across. Yeah. Look like they were cut with
a machete. Yes. There we go. Hey, how you doing?
Doing good. How are you? Doing good, man. You
guys on a podcast? Yeah, yeah. Hey, come on over
if you want. Want to talk a minute? Nah. All
right, man. Oh, okay. That's cool. Hey, a podcast,
you can say whatever the hell you want. It doesn't
matter. We have no, we have no, we have no rules.
We have no sponsors. Do what? It's a, well, this
one's a sports ones right here, but I mean, we
do with several ones. We do a music one, a sports
one, and then we just do a pop culture one where
you talk about anything. Okay. It's two douchebags
and a microphone. Two douchebags and a microphone?
Yes. Yeah, that sounds like us. See, you guys
can join us any time. We're here every Tuesday.
Every Tuesday? Usually on a Tuesday about 10
o 'clock. If you ever have time, come on by.
You should come over sometime. There can be four
douchebags and a microphone. Hell yeah. We can
always use more douchebags. Always. I just buy
the douchebags. All right, cool. So do we. What
would the pronouns be for douchebags? There we
go. Perfect. I think you'd fit in well on this
podcast. I don't do so much sports. No, no, no.
We'll talk about anything. We don't care. I had
sex with a frog once. Oh, wow. Sit down. Oh,
my God. Yeah, yeah. This is walking controversy
right here. I love it. I will link you guys up.
Yeah, please do. Yeah, just Google it. If someone
tries to charge you, don't pay for it. It's free.
Yeah. Yes. I'll provide you guys on there. Yeah.
Hey, man. Come on by. Talk to us. Let us know
what you think. Oh, yeah. Tuesdays at 10 o 'clock.
Tuesdays at 10 o 'clock. It might just be three
douchebags. I might leave this douchebag. Okay.
Okay, I mean, if there's 30 douchebags, we don't
give a crap. We can do that. We'll be 30 douchebags
in microphone. We don't care. There's only one
mic. All the douchebags we need. What are they
going to do, take away our sponsors? Oh, wait,
we don't have any. There we go. Between me and
him, we might make you guys talk. Oh, there we
go, maybe. They might hear some crazy shit. That'd
be all right. That works. Oh, you guys only hear
about homeless shows. Tell you all about it.
Oh, yeah. Oh, we would love that. That would
be a good subject. That would be a great subject.
Do you guys disguise voices? We can. We can.
There is a story I would love to tell, but I
don't want to get kicked out of state union.
Okay. Okay. I'll tell you how I can do that.
We'll record it here with your regular voice.
When I go home, I'll run it through this electronic
voice. That I use to do the promos with a different
voice. And I can give you a voice. I can give
you any type of voice you want. I don't even
care what voice it is. Okay. It's probably the
one I talk about the most. Yep. Okay. Okay. I'll
tell you what. When you come back, we can record
that here. And then when I take it home, I will
make it another voice. I would love to talk about
that because I'm trying to get this guy fired.
Okay. Okay. That sounds good. He works at the
homeless shelter. Okay. I live here. You know
what? That might do some good then. It might
do some good besides being entertaining. It sounds
like it. It really is. Sounds like it. Wow. I'd
love to get that message out there. Okay. Yeah.
We're going to be here, so come on by. All right.
Appreciate it. Yeah, yeah. Thank you, guys. Appreciate
it. Thank you, guys. You all have a great day.
Hey, you too. Take care, man. Good talking to
you. You too. All right. It's two new specs and
a bike, right? That's it. Spotify, anything.
All of them have us. All right. So I definitely
expect to talk to you guys. You too. All right.
Take care, man. I just realized since our podcast
is everywhere, it's kind of like a virus, isn't
it? It is. I call this the COVID podcast. Yeah,
we are. You're assuming it's not a very nice
virus, are you? No. Google sent me, whenever
I put it in analytics and all that to Google,
it sent me a little star. And I was like, what
the hell is that? And there's a message saying,
just let you know you are a fast -rising podcast
in this community. And I'm like, yeah. So I was
like, well, what can I brag about that? And I'm
like, the only thing I can think of is fast -rising
like COVID. Yeah. So, yeah. All right. So, where
were we? Oh, okay, okay. Joe Burrow. Joe Burrow.
Oh, yeah. Well, yeah, okay. You changed my mind.
I would keep him too, but I would beef that team
up. I'd get rid of Zach Taylor. In my opinion,
he's lost the team. I think he's gone after this
year anyhow. How could you keep him? How could
you justify it? Yeah, yeah. Every season has
been ended in a crushing disappointment. Yes.
So, yeah. All right. Okay. So, are the Eagles
or the Rams a better team right now? This was
written before the Cowboys game and the Rams
game. I'm saying Rams by far right now. Yeah,
yeah, I'd say so. Matthew Stafford might finally
get his MVP that he deserves. Yeah. Yeah, I mean,
they've been – that last game they just dismantled
the other team. Oh, I know. No, they've been
on fire for a while now, but quietly. Yeah. Matthew
Stafford is having a career year, and that's
pretty good saying him. Having a career year,
he's got to be extraordinary because he's always
been, even in Detroit. A great quarterback. He
was just wasted there. True, true. And the Niners
showed last night that even though they won that
game, they showed they can be beaten and they
can be handled. I don't take the Niners seriously
this year. They have too many flaws. What's going
on with Brock Purdy? It looks like he was out
for a while, and it looks like he's not really.
He had a great game the game before. He came
back the game before this game. He had a great
game. He had like four touchdowns or something.
He looked excellent. And suddenly this game,
it looks like he can't even find the right receivers
and where they're at. Yeah, and this is the game
everyone's going to – anyone who plays the Niners
from this point on is going to study last night's
game and say, what did the Panthers do? I think
he got figured out. Yeah. I think he really did.
So this is going to be interesting, but I've
never taken him seriously anyhow. Yeah, you know,
he's put up the numbers that make you think you
really ought to take him seriously, but I just
don't. There's something about him that just
he doesn't seem like he's going to stay. I always
have a problem with teams like Jonathan Taylor,
who might be the best player in football, okay,
that have – The running guy is their main feature.
Christian McCaffrey, without him, they cannot
duplicate what they do without him. He is the
catalyst for all of their scoring, basically.
He's the guy that comes up with those miracle
plays that should have been two yards and he
got 12 yards. Yeah. I never take a team like
that seriously. I never do. Unless they're really,
really solid on defense, like they're two teams
that they played the Chiefs on. Their defense
was that good, and they had just good enough
offense to get it done. So I don't take him seriously
because of McCaffrey, because if he ever gets
injured, forget it, the season's over. It's not
Brock Purdy, they can win without him, they showed
that. So I don't take them seriously because
of that. And just like Indianapolis, I don't
take them seriously because of that either. Yeah,
yeah. What do you think? Do you think the same,
the running game, the run guy being the main
feature is not the way you're going to win in
the NFL? No, no. That would have worked in the
60s. But not now. No, no. So much of the game
is designed for the forward pass. Uh -huh. and
the teams that kind of abandon that because they
can't do it or won't do it and their running
game is more effective than their pass, that
is so easy to figure out. I mean, once you know
the team either can't pass or won't pass, you
just crowd the line, and the running game goes
away. You can't be that one -dimensional anymore.
No, I know, and that's what I'm thinking about.
That's what I feel. Even though they don't look
like it, the Niners are based on Christian McCaffrey.
Yeah, yeah. And look at any game with them and
any game without them, and you can tell right
there that that is pretty much the way it goes.
It's odd because I remember in the 70s and the
80s having a one -dimensional team. was okay.
It's like, you know, this team will win if they
get the running game going, and then that will
open up the pass. Coaching got way to, just got
much smarter. Yeah. Much more well -rounded to
where they stop it. Whatever they're doing, they
stop it, and then the other team wins. Yeah.
So I kind of view them like that. Maybe not as
obvious as Indianapolis or something like that.
Oh, I wasn't going to say that anymore. We have
a few lists or something. Oh, yeah. Yeah, Indianapolis,
I'm sorry. I'm slipping the tongue. My late father
-in -law, Indianapolis, was his second team.
He liked the Chiefs first, Indianapolis second.
Oh, really? We invoked his spirit on Sunday,
said, Ed, you've got to help us win this game
against the Colts. I didn't know Ed liked the
Colts. Yeah, he really liked the Colts. Wow,
all right. But he's a bigger Chiefs fan, that's
all it gets to. Well, I've got to follow up to
that bullet point where we're talking about.
Oh, yeah. I'm starting to seriously hear. that
the Bills are now being considered a one -player
team. However Josh Allen goes, the team goes.
Well, look at the last game against the Texans.
Josh Allen had a bad game. But the game before
that, or two games before that, the game before
that he scored six touchdowns. Yeah. Okay, in
the air. The game before that against the Dolphins,
13 points, they lost. Yep. Interceptions, again,
the culprit. Yep. Josh Allen determines how your
game is going. If he's on, you're going to win,
win big. If he's not there, the rest of the team
can't do it. And it also makes me wonder if their
dynasty that never happened is over. I would
think so because right now it's looking like
they let the rest of the team go, on offense
at least, in favor of Josh Allen. It's like all
our hopes and dreams are pinned on Josh. We put
every bet on him and let's hope he makes it.
Okay, I don't do fantasy anymore or nothing like
that. I'm not a pretend GM, so I don't know.
I don't have enough time to dedicate it to it.
But it doesn't seem to me like they had that
many outlandish contracts to stifle them on signing
people that they needed. Yeah, it makes me wonder
if money is being tied up in the new stadium
that's coming next year. I don't know. Something
seems like it's going on like that. Signing bonuses
and things usually come out of ready cash. If
you're having a cash flow problem, then signing
bonuses can't happen. So that might have been
an issue is that the Bills organization was having
cash flow troubles for some of their other investments
or new stadium or something. And they're like,
we can't afford to sign these players. We have
the money, but we don't have it right now. Yeah,
that could be one of the deals. Yeah. Yeah, but
there's something going on because I don't remember
him. Even with Josh Allen, he signed a good contract,
but I don't recall it being exceptional like
a head -turner, like people going, what? They
didn't. Yeah, you never really hear about, you
know, contract holdouts or problems. I know it
wasn't. Stephon Diggs signed a big major contract
in the offseason for the Bills. No, not the Bills.
No, Patriots. Patriots, yeah. But he's panned
out so far. He's been a pretty good citizen up
there. Since they've decided to ignore the pink
cocaine he was handing out. There's that. Prior
to the season. That went away quick, didn't it?
It did, yeah. The right people got paid, and
all that pink cocaine went away. Robert Kraft
was like, oh, baby shit. Yeah. Baby shit. We'll
take care of that. Yeah. Robert, I love Hooker's
Kraft. Allegedly. Oh, no, he got convicted. Oh,
no, I know, I know. I do that as a gang. Yeah,
okay. I do that all the time. And I consider
the people that get it laughing and the people
that don't know. We can say it's allegedly, it's
allegedly. Yes, allegedly, he was convicted of
it, allegedly. Yes. So, all right. And now it's
got to be like second nature. Whenever I hear
something, I go, allegedly. I do it at work all
the time. People look at me. Yeah. And I'm like,
long story. You take a dump. You say, allegedly.
Allegedly. I didn't see it. It's alleged. The
smell could be anything. Yeah. All right. If
you could – oh, are you done with your counter?
Yeah, that was it. Okay. I agree with you. I
think they are a one -dimensional team now. Yeah.
And I think that they can be ran on pretty easily.
Yeah. As it's been demonstrated. And that's going
to be the thing I think that kills them. I think
there are still coaches out there who are upcoming
opponents of the Bills who are going to say –
Hit Josh Allen as hard as you can every time,
every chance you get. Let's hobble him and put
him out of the game, and then we'll win. That's
what they're doing with Mahomes. Yeah. And there's
something that's quietly going on this year,
and it started last year. And it's not just Mahomes,
but Mahomes is getting the bulk of it because
he's the king right now. Yes. Or was. Or is held
up as the poster boy a lot of the time. He's
getting hit hard relentlessly. I think it's by
design. Yep. Yeah. It's like if you don't knock
him out of the game, he's going to remember you.
And he's going to throw that ball. He's going
to run up in the pocket a little quicker like
he has been. Yep. And he's going to be throwing
erratic like he has been. And like Romo's been
saying, he's moving through his progressions
too quickly because he knows he's going to get
hit. Yeah. Yeah. So that is – so there's a lot
to be said for that. Yeah. And I also think,
allegedly – I think I know the coaches that are
doing bounties. Yeah. And I can count them on
one hand. And one of them could be in Detroit.
That could be one of them. And another one could
be in Denver. Yeah, absolutely in Denver. And
there's a few more that I have my suspicions
about, too. But both of them before, I believe,
have been linked to something like that anyhow.
I know one of them has. The other one, I'm not
for sure. Anyhow, if that's what's going on,
it would not surprise me. I'll just leave it
at that. I've got to say I lost a fair amount
of respect for Sean Payton in Denver when during
that Chiefs game the play was still going on
and Sean Payton ran out onto the field while
the play was still going on. And when the officials
coming up the sidelines smacked into him and
fell down. Oh, yeah. That was the unsportsmanlike
penalty called against the Denver bench. Yeah,
yeah. Because the head coach was five yards out
onto the field. What an asshole. You never get
to do that while the play is running. He should
have been ejected from the game. At the very
least, they should have said that's number one
towards ejection. I've seen head coaches ejected
before. To me, that's like a cardinal sin. Yeah.
You were doing so many things that interfere
with the game at that point. Yeah. And the game
could be manipulated so bad like that too. Yeah.
That I think that he should have been kicked
out immediately as an example. Yeah. So, but
anyhow, all right. Okay, if you can make this
call. Would you have the Super Bowl in cold weather
cities without a dome? Yes. I would, too. I'd
love that. I'd love to see it being like that
game against Miami here, the wild card round
that we're hosting here. 30 below. Oh, my gosh.
And the only reason they don't is because they're
kissing ass of all the people who are going to
be sitting in the stands. Yes. They're kissing
their asses. Yep. And also, I loved it because
that also does the intimidation factor of, like,
our linemen not wearing sleeves. Yes. Cold? What
cold? I love that. Minnesota used to do that
when they had an outdoor stadium. Yeah, yeah,
they're like, hey, watch this, guys. We fucking
wash our fucking balls in ice water. You don't.
So, yeah, so anyhow, I would love to see that,
too. I think it would be great. And also, you
talk about the betting line. People are going
to be looking at the weather. They're going to
go, oh, 45, oh, no, no, I'm going to go with
the warm weather team. 10 below, going with the
cold weather team. Also, on the disadvantage
side, it makes it harder to influence the game
if the weather is a big factor. I agree. And
they definitely want to have control of the game
and steer it where they want it to go. You notice
we don't have any big Super Bowl blowouts anymore?
It used to be routine. Well, we did last year.
Yeah. But it used to be pretty much every season.
Yeah. And the NFL stepped in and started changing
things and massaging the outcomes a little bit
to make sure we don't have blowouts anymore because
people weren't watching anymore. Oh, no, I know.
And last year was a blowout, but people go, well,
they scored 22 points. This is when all the backups
were in. Yeah. They wanted everyone to get a
chance. I respect Nick Sirianni only for this.
Yeah. He brought in a bunch of his backups, regardless
of what anybody thought. So they can always say,
I played on the field during the Super Bowl.
I got to play. And that's when we scored our
22 points. Yes, it was. Garbage time. Garbage
time. So if anyone says that wasn't a blowout
because they scored 22, they don't know what.
They weren't paying attention. Yeah, they weren't
paying attention. They went and got fucking pizza
for ten minutes and came back and said, hey,
look, the Chiefs are coming back. Yeah, okay.
Yeah. All right. If you could throw out one penalty
out of football completely. Oh, wow. I know.
Which one would it be? Block in the back. Yes.
I think that was the most piss me off penalty
ever. Well. I agree with that. There's a couple
other ones, but I'm going to go ahead and go
with that one too, and here's why. There's so
many inadvertent that get called. Someone gets
hit into another guy and he hits his back. They
throw the flag. It's a great way to manipulate
the game. It costs time. It costs yardage. It's
a bullshit penalty. I remember seeing a player
get hit directly from the side, but because his
head was turned, they called it a block in the
back. Oh, he wasn't looking. Well, that's his
frickin' fault, isn't it? No, I know. I agree.
Isn't he running out there on the field with
21 other players? Shouldn't he be looking? Shouldn't
he be looking? Shouldn't he think, hey, wait
a minute? It's so weird some of the excuses they
come up with. Oh, I know. Ridiculous. It's also
really telling that the phantom face mask that
they called on the Chiefs, the announcers talked
about that. There was another play where... Indianapolis
was backed up to their own goal line. And Jones
was in the end zone trying to pass. And someone
coming around the left end of the Colts line,
rushing the quarterback, was being held big time.
And it even showed up on the replay, big time
hold. In the end zone. That's a penalty and it's
a safety for the Chiefs. A safety, yeah. Nobody
mentioned it. Even though they replayed it several
times, the commentators never mentioned, oh,
look, there was holding, they missed it, which
they have done on other plays. But on that play,
the holding happened, no one mentioned it, no
one's talking about it. I think they're told
not to on a situation like that. Exactly. That
was one of the situations where they're influencing
the game and trying to get a certain outcome,
and they told everyone, shut up about this. Pretend
it didn't happen. And a week from now, everyone's
going to forget it ever happened. No, no, no.
And it's going to happen again. Probably a different
game. Maybe not against the Chiefs, but whenever
they need it to happen, it's going to happen.
The other penalty that I'd like to see go is
gesturing for a sportsman -like. Yeah, yeah.
Because that is manipulated so bad. Kyrie killed
doing the peace sign. They threw a 15 -yarder
on him. Yep. Peace sign means love, peace. It
doesn't mean I'm going to hit you in the face.
That was one of the most bullshit calls I've
ever seen in the NFL. And we'd already scored
the points on 13 seconds, so it didn't matter,
and then we got the ball back and won. But the
thing is, they could have manipulated that game
heavily by that. It's interesting that flashing
a peace sign gets you a penalty. But pointing
upwards and then crossing yourself doesn't give
you a penalty. They're both gestures. They're
both gestures, yes. So I guess there's a standard,
this is okay, this is not okay. You're going
to hurt a Satanist's feelings. Oh, absolutely.
You feel very excluded. The Satanists are excluded.
Yeah, yeah. And also, we all know that the worst
thing you can do ever is hurt somebody's feelings.
Oh, yeah. I mean, I don't care. You can murder
somebody, whatever. It doesn't matter. But if
you hurt someone's feelings, that's it. You've
got to go. Go to jail. You cannot be a part of
this society anymore. In fact, they'll no longer
consider you human if you hurt somebody's feelings.
Yeah, yeah, that's it. I mean, yeah, you are
done with society after that. Nobody can back
you up. That's it. It's like, if I know you hurt
somebody's feelings, I won't talk to you again.
That's it. And the big problem is that... There's
probably somebody in Melbourne, Australia right
now who is having their feelings hurt because
we're not there. I agree. So he's calling his
local tiny fist waving group and saying, My feelings
are hurt. Arrest those people. Every time you
say tiny fist, I think Skip Bayless. He is obsessed
with trying to disprove Mahomes. It's so bad
that he fucking looks like he wants to... I don't
know, maybe have some sort of a relationship
with him. Oh, yeah, there's something there.
He does protest a little too much about Mahomes.
Yeah. Part of it also is I'm sure he's realized
that it's way too late to have any kind of legacy.
for his career other than Skip Bayless was the
jerk, the brat, the irritating little brother
that you wish would just go away. So now he's
just embracing that. He says, I'm going to be
the best little obnoxious brat I can ever be.
So I'm going to go after the king. I'm going
to go after the big guy, and I'm going to disprove
him. And that comes for the tiny little fists.
Every day he wakes up, oh, I wonder what I'm
going to say about him today. And without Shannon
Sharp. Nobody gives a fuck. Yeah. He has nothing.
Nothing to offer. I mean, the best part of that
was... Skip? Skip? Skip? I can't do it quite
like he did, but it's so funny. The little scolding
tone. Yeah, yeah. He was saying something stupid,
and all of a sudden Shane goes, Skip? Skip? He
knew it was coming. Then all of a sudden, fucking
three feet of logic. All right. Do you believe
that Eric Bien -Ami was a major factor in the
Chiefs' high -flying offense over the past? Yeah.
Kind of looks like it, don't it? Yeah. The thing
I remember people saying about him is he held
players accountable and wouldn't let them get
away with anything. Yeah. Including lying to
themselves about why the game went wrong. He
wouldn't let them fool themselves and say, well,
my fault. Yeah, it was. It was your fault. Yeah.
And he even went in Mahomes. He got Mahomes'
face too. I appreciate that. Yeah. And I'm sure
at the end of the day, when let's say you're
having a beer with Mahomes on the couch, he'd
probably be like, yeah, I deserve that. Yeah.
He was right. Yeah. At the time, he may not appreciate
it because you're all hyped up and you're pissed
off. And you may even fight back, which I think
he probably did a couple of times. But at the
end of the day, he probably went home and was
like, you know what, he's right. I need to watch
that. Either that or you go home saying, I'm
going to prove that guy wrong. I'm going to get
so damn good, he's never going to be able to
say anything again. Either way, it works. The
offense has not been the same since he left.
Yeah, yeah. And they just couldn't handle him
in Washington because the way he does it is pretty
abrasive. I mean, if he was a little calmer and
a little more. He's not a nurturing guy from
what I can tell. And they were trying to nurture
a quarterback. You know, they're trying to nurture
the next guy. They've got Jalen Daniels now and
everything. And I think he might be the guy.
I don't know. He's kind of fragile now. He does
seem, yeah. And before that, he wasn't necessarily
tearing it up. He was getting figured out quite
a bit. But you know what? They're trying to nurture
a young quarterback, and that's another reason
it didn't work either, I think. So you're writing
something down, which means you've got something
you want to say. Yeah. I don't want to let the
week go by without mentioning that Shadur Sanders
got a start. Oh, he did, didn't he? And he played
well. Yeah, he did. I mean, he made some mistakes,
but he played well and they won the game. It
was the Raiders, but still. It's an NFL team,
and he started it, and he won. I would love to
see him do well. Oh, I would too. Because he
was a victim of something, and I'm not sure what.
Yeah, there was a lot more going on pre -draft
than they let us know. Well, let's see. What
was it that Bubba said? I listened to Bubba Love
Sponge here and there. I still like his show,
and he was best friends with Deion Sanders. And
he said something about, like, one agent was
mad at, like, Deion or something, if I remember
correctly. And he started spreading all this
smear campaign against Shador. Yeah, that's what
I heard too. It boils down to Shador and his
father, Dion, apparently didn't observe all the
little unwritten rules and niceties. He was being
his agent when he should have just been everybody's
friend and let someone else do that. Yeah, so
noses got bent out of shape and they decided
to punish both of them. Yeah, yeah. I really...
Any quarterback who's that talented, drafted
in the NFL, I want them to succeed because that's
going to be great fun to watch. Yeah, and also
another Sanders on the field, I'd love to see
that. Yeah, yeah. That was so fun to watch. Yeah,
I mean, it's like before Patrick Mahomes retires,
I want him to have most, if not all, of the meaningful
records for a quarterback. He should. And then
when he retires, I want somebody else to come
along and break all of his records because that
will be fun and exciting. I want to see Mahomes
get the records, but I don't want to see him
keep them. And you always see the people that
the records that they broke, they're there cheering
them on. They're their biggest fans. They're
like, man, this is history. I can't wait to see
this. They're not like going, man, this is my
record that's getting ready to fall. They're
all for it. It shows you that they're admiring
what's happening. They're like, this is epic.
And realistically, if you've got a record that's
lasted, say, 25, 30 years. That's all you can,
I mean. Yeah, then either that one day that made
the record was a fluke or there's something wrong
with your game that it's broken now and you can't
reach those heights again. Either way, that's
not really a good thing to have a record that
just lasts and lasts and lasts. That makes one
person and maybe one team happy. But if you want
to make everybody happy, have those records fall
and have them fall often. Yeah. That's true.
That's exciting. It's fun. Yeah. Yeah, no, I
agree 100%. And also, it's great for the NFL.
Yes. Because then it gets talked about constantly.
Mahomes is getting ready to break the record
of whatever, and all of a sudden you'll get the
step -ins. Like all of a sudden there's something
going on. The game has been in the huddle. And
all of a sudden, hey, real quick, back to New
York. This match with Mahomes, epic, you know.
30 million pass or something, you know. When
Kelsey caught his 85th pass and got the new franchise
record, I'm sure every team, every game playing,
they broke in and showed that. They did, and
they showed it. They're like, yeah, there's some
record being broken right now. Yeah. I mean,
realistically, these are all great gambling opportunities.
Every time a record or a streak is in danger
of being broken, gamble your ass off. I mean,
that's what happens. It's like, let's tell everyone
about these. These records are about to get broken,
and the streak that's about to get broken, and
everyone gets on their phone and bets. NFL loves
it. I love the betting line after the game where
I go and look at the stats, and it shows like
one team had an 85 % chance of winning, then
in the fourth quarter it's like 90 % and all
this stuff, right? And then at the very bottom
it says, we're sorry you didn't bet. You can
play next time or something like that. I'm like,
I bet you're sorry I didn't bet. Yeah, well,
what if you had bet on the wrong team? That's
not what they're saying. They're saying most
people are going to lose, so we're sorry you
didn't bet. So we're sorry we didn't get to get
money from you. Okay? Yeah. Knew that. Just remember,
when you do win, you're not winning money from
the bookie. You're winning money that other people
have already lost. Which makes it even funner.
Yeah. Yeah. Someone is jumping off a building
because I took their last five bucks. Yep. Yeah.
It's the same with the lottery. I mean, if you
win the lottery, the money you get paid out is
money that everyone else has already lost to
the lottery. Yeah. Yeah. That's why I'm a big
proponent of checking your lottery tickets before
you go to work. How would you like to work one
extra fucking day you didn't have to? And what
if that was the day you got hurt? Well, like
Tony Iommi. He didn't have to go back to his
dad's steel factory. He did not have to. But
his mom told him, said, you need to go finish
what you started. Yeah. Then he cuts off his
fingers, and he's getting ready to go on tour
with Jethro Tull, maybe, or something. I forgot.
I forget who, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Boop. Nope. But
it turned out to be the right decision. That's
true. That's true. All right. He needed to lose
those fingers so we could rock hard. That's right.
Yes. And so he could stay with the... He wouldn't
have never been anything much in Jethro Tull,
because he was just going to be a guitarist in
a band that wasn't his. Yeah. All right. The
stats on the 2025 Chiefs defense is considerably
better, it is, than the 2024 as of now. And actually
this last game they did even better. Yeah. Do
you believe this defense is better than last
season's or is that the type of games we've played
so far? I think I'm going to say it's the type
of games because the defensive line is not as
good as it was last year. No, not close. And
the secondary doesn't seem to be as good as it
was last year. Well, evidently, Justin Reed's
impact in the middle had a lot more. Well, I
knew it. Let's face it, we knew they were going
to lose a lot. Now, we have people stepping up
like Jamari Conner, and Jalen Watson's always
been pretty solid. Case? Yeah, yes. Cook, number
six, Cook. Yeah, Cook, not Chase, Cook. And there's
some new ones, like what's the hyphenated one?
Wallace Lott or Lott Wallace or something? Something
Wallace, yeah. There have been some people that
are stepping up and looking like they have a
lot of promise, and I think some of that's coming
together now. But their stats are still better
than last year. But it is the type of game we've
been playing. Yeah. All right. Will the Patriots
be one and done? Will the soft schedule catch
up with them? I don't think so. I don't either.
I think the Patriots are pretty much for real.
I think they've made a good choice in the quarterback.
Mike Grable really seems to fit that team well.
If anybody was going to be doing a bounty system,
I would have thought Mike Grable would be involved
in it, but he doesn't really seem to be. No,
no, no. He's one of them that I question about
that, too, because he's kind of been linked to
stuff like that before, allegedly, and all that.
Yeah, and he's been cited a few times for getting
really abrasive and nasty with players. Yeah,
yeah. And also, he's got a chip on his shoulder.
You know he wants to win Super Bowls up there
just to disgrace Belichick. Yeah. Which gets
me to this one. Okay. Let's say the Super Bowl
is the Patriots versus the Buccaneers. Who does
Tom Brady root for? Wow. Buccaneers. I think
so. I just think so. Because that was all his
baby. Yeah. That was all his baby. He went to
Bruce Arians, and I forgot the GM, and said,
listen. I want this guy, this guy, this guy,
and this guy. You make that happen, you'll see
me there. They made it happen and they saw him
there and they won. Didn't they even make him
sign Gronkowski? Yeah, he did. And Gronkowski
is just pretty much some big dumb guy in the
middle. But he was there. So, anyhow. All right.
Are we ready to go to the games? We're going
to predict maybe some blowouts and some wins
that maybe seem improbable right now? Yeah, yeah.
I think it's a good spot for that. Okay. Let's
see. We have Thursday. We have a couple of games.
Do you want to go into any of the Kansas City
-Dallas game? Sure. Well, we talked about that
a bit earlier. Yeah, we did. We both kind of
think that Dallas is going to do it. We just
think the Chiefs are an off -and -on team this
year. Yeah. Okay, so that's settled. All right,
how about Green Bay and Detroit that evening?
Yeah. I'm going to predict a Green Bay upset.
Yeah, I can see that. That was the one I was
kind of leaning towards too. I think Green Bay's
got a real good chance to go in there. expose
everything about the Lions, division rivals,
so of course they're familiar with each other.
Micah Parsons is going to be all over Goff. Yeah.
And Goff is going to make mistakes. True. And
I think that it's going to be somewhat lopsided,
probably about 10 points. That sounds about right,
yeah. So I'm going to say at the end of the day,
24 to, no, 27 to 17, Green Bay. You want me to
write this down? Yes. Check it later? Okay. Excuse
me, bring up my schedule again. All right. And
you said? 27 -17, Green Bay. Okay. That's for
your blowout. Yeah, not quite a blowout, but
I'm going to say it's a two -score game. Yeah.
That was one of the three I picked. Okay. But,
yeah, I can definitely see that happening, yeah.
We talked about Cheese Cowboys. The night game
is Bengals at Ravens. I'm actually going to pick
the Bengals because Baltimore is Flacco's old
team. Yeah. I think Flacco's going to just be
like, yeah, you know what, he still loves them.
There's no animosity, but this is my old team.
They'll let me go. I was too old or whatever,
right? Yeah. They brought him back in the league.
He's done reasonably well. I could see him having
a great game, a career game maybe. Probably not
a career game. He's had a lot of big games. But
I'm going to say he's going to have a good game,
an extremely efficient game, and get it done.
Yeah, he's been playing well. He's more than
a game manager at this point. And Ravens, man,
you just don't know what to do. What you're going
to get from them week to week. They're pretty
inconsistent right now. I know. So I'm going
to go ahead. I'm going with the Bengals, even
though it's improbable. Yeah. I was looking to
see if our coffee was ready. Yeah, usually they
bring them out to us, but it was like maybe some
of the key people that do that aren't in there
right now or something. Oh, by the way, thank
you for the coffee. Oh, no problem. No problem.
Okay. So what was the next one? Nope, I heard
my name. Okay. Let me put it on pause here. Okay,
all right. City Market Coffee just delivered
again like they always do. And they would have
brought it out to us again, but they didn't recognize
Topler's name on there. Yeah, yeah. So it didn't
happen. That's above and beyond anyway, so that's
pretty awesome. Not only is their coffee the
best, but the people here are the best. They
are. Nicole does a great job with hiring, obviously.
The owner, very, very sweet, nice lady that I
talk to every chance I get. They play good music
here, too. Yes, they do. You can hear just about
anything. Yeah. It is a very unique place, very
unique atmosphere. Yeah. If you want a really
neat day and you want to hang out somewhere,
come on down here. This is a fantastic place
to do so. Definitely. This is almost like a vacation
at home to me. I love this place. All right,
what's the next one? Bears and Eagles. That's
a Friday game. You know, even though the Eagles
lost, I think the Bears are going to take them.
Oh, really? Yes, I do. You even count that as
an upset? Yeah. All right, yeah, I was going
to take the Eagles. No, that's fine. Go ahead.
This is good because we need to differ on some
of them. Yeah. I'm taking the Bears, and it's
going to be last minute. It's not going to be
a blowout at all. I think that Caleb Williams
is learning enough and he's learning how to win
a game. That would make me very happy because
I was going to be very upset if Caleb Williams
was going to be wasted in Chicago. It can be
argued about Fields and Trubisky whether they
were ever good or not. That can be argued. But
Williams cannot be argued. He's a good player.
He's got great talent. All sorts of physical
ability. What's holding him back is... the situation
he's in right now. Yes. Let's hope he can work
through that and become every bit the quarterback
he's meant to be. I think he's done everything
he can so far. Yeah. Without a different team.
I think the enemy is probably helping him, right,
with a run game that's pretty good. Yeah. So
it takes some of the pressure off of him and
especially some of the heat that he's getting
from people trying to get in the line and sack
him and ruin him before he begins and all that.
Anyhow, I'm going to go for the upset again.
And, of course, then it's going to be argued.
People are going to go, the Eagles are in the
toilet. They're done. Dynasty over. And then
they're going to come back and probably be in
the Super Bowl again. All right. So, all right,
we got that one. And what is the other one? You
got another one, I think? Next up we have Saints
at Dolphins. At Dolphins. I'm going to pick the
Dolphins. Yeah. Yeah, they beat the Bills, and
the Saints are kind of up and down. Penix, he
plays for the Saints. Oh, no, that's Atlanta.
He's Atlanta. Yeah, I get those two confused.
I know Penix is kind of hurt. But Rattler was.
Rattler was who was playing for. Yeah, but I
think he's injured, isn't he? I haven't heard
his name at all. I had some other guy, too. I
can't remember who it is. Yeah, I'm pretty much
peeking the Dolphins too. I don't see much chance
there. Yeah. I think the Dolphins are a decent
team. Who's next here? Texans at Colts. Let's
see. I'm going to go Texans. The Texans are kind
of on a roll. And I think that the Texans are
starting to figure some things out defensively.
Yeah. And I think that Daniel Jones is just the
guy to do it on. I'm picking the Texans over
the Colts as my upset. I think the Texans' defense.
is going to do even better than the Chiefs defense
did at shutting down the Colts. I agree. And
I think it's not going to quite be a blowout,
but I think the Texans are going to handle them
quite handily. Yeah. So I guess I've got to put
a number on it. I'm going to go like 24 -10.
Okay. Not really a blowout, but, again, a two
-score game. Okay, sounds good to me. And I hate
to repeat you because I know that's not our object
here, but I agree with that 100%. So I'm going
to say my score is going to be 27 -23 Texans.
And it's going to be a last -minute drive. It's
going to make probably Davis Mills, I think,
is still in there. yeah he's been playing pretty
well so I'm gonna say that it's gonna be he's
gonna do it all right next we have Falcons at
Jets let's see I'm gonna go Falcons I think so
the Jets are just kind of nothing this year Yeah,
I agree. And, you know, they're trading away
good players, so they're kind of in the, you
know, fire sale mode. They know they're not making
the postseason. Yeah, I agree. Sorry I was distracted.
A little business going on right here, so. Yeah.
Okay, you got any more? 49ers at Browns. 49ers
are going to win it. But, well, no, no, no, no.
No. I think Shador's going to get off to a hell
of a start and really make people think. That
would be awesome. That would be a great upset,
wouldn't it? I'm going to go with the Browns.
All right. It may not pan out, but I love it.
It's a sexy pick. Yes, yes. I think I'm going
to pick the Browns as well. All right. Because
I kind of want to see it happen. Me too. I want
people to look around and go, man, did we get
duped by this Shador thing? Yeah. Jaguars at
Titans. It's got to be the Jags. The Titans are
just nothing this year. The Titans, I'll be surprised
if they win another game, and if it is, it's
going to be against the Chiefs. Yeah. Oh, God.
Yeah, I can see the Titans are tanking. They
know they're going to get the number one pick.
They want to back up Cam Ward with maybe an offensive
lineman that's worth a shot. Shit, I don't know.
Better running back, I don't know, defense. They
still need a tight end. Yeah, they do. Oh, yeah,
they'll probably go tight end, I imagine. If
there's somebody worth a first -round pick. If
there is, that's the whole wild card in it. Yeah,
picking a tight end first round, eh, that's a
little risky. What was Kelsey third? I think
so, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I remember the story on
that, too, because Andy Reid knew Jason Kelsey,
who drafted him. Yeah. And he said, hey, can
I think about... drafting your little brother,
is he going to fuck this up? He almost did early
in his career. He was a hothead. Jason Kelsey
said something like I'm going to make sure he
doesn't. He almost did a few times. How about
the time he grabbed the flag from the referee
and threw it? There was a time when I went into
my Madden football team and changed Travis Kelsey's
name to something else because I was tired of
hearing his name. Because he was pissing me off
so much. I changed his name to Kevin Phillips.
Kevin Phillips. Oh, I love that name. I think
Jihad Phillips. Yeah. Yeah, that would have been
a great one. Yeah. Yeah, Jihad. Yeah, Holy War
Phillips. Like, what's his name? Holy War Johnson,
is it? Jihad Johnson or something like that.
Yeah, something like that. Oh, well, good. All
right. And then don't forget about World War
II Jenkins. Oh, yeah. That's right. Yep. So,
yeah. Okay. Jags are tight. Cardinals and Bucs.
I don't think the Bucs are going to have much
trouble. Yeah, the Bucs are going to – they've
got to start stepping on the pedals sometime.
Yeah. And even if they don't have Mayfield, I
think they're still going to do it. I think the
Cardinals have a whole lot working for them.
And, yes, poor cards. It's like year after year
they just can't get it together. I don't think
they're really even trying at this point. Well,
it started with Kyler Murray and everybody going,
well, this is a Mahomes -like guy. This is a
new breed of quarterback. Yeah. This guy. They
oversold him big time. Yeah, they did. Oklahoma's
gather going, did they really fake him? Number
one. What? Yeah. The first couple of seasons,
he was spending more time playing Call of Duty
than he was paying attention to game film and
studying up for his job. And now he just doesn't
have it. He's not that guy ever, never has been,
never will be. All right. Vikings at Seahawks.
Seahawks. Yeah. I think J .J. McCarthy's injured,
but it doesn't matter. They're going to beat
him, too. Yeah, yeah. It was good to see him
back in and playing again. Number one, he's always
injured. Number two, he's not good enough to
get injured all the time. Yeah. I mean, he's
not going to take up a roster spot next year,
I don't think. Probably not. Let's see. Okay.
Bills at Steelers. I'm picking the Steelers.
I am too. I think that's very close to an upset
considering it's the Bills. But since the Bills
have already lost four and played really badly.
I think the Bills have at least two more losses.
Yeah, I think so too. And they have some tough
games coming up. The last tough game they failed
miserably. We'll see. Although you can say the
same about the Chiefs, too, but, like, we're
not that high on them anyhow, so. Yeah. Yeah.
All right, and I hope we're wrong. Don't get
me wrong. Yeah, really. I would love to see nothing
more than a definitive game with the Chiefs and
the Bills one more time. Yeah. And if it happens
one more time, the Chiefs win, it's going to
be, it should be undeniable right now, but, I
mean. Yeah. Before the season started, I was
hearing people saying that if the Bills coach
doesn't get them to the Super Bowl this year,
at least get them to the Super Bowl, probably
going to fire their coach. Sean McDermott, he's
going to have a job in football. He's really
good. Yeah. But he's done really well. It's just
his playoff plan. Game needs to be up, obviously.
That's what got Schottenheimer fired in Cleveland
and Kansas City. Well, was he fired or did he
quit? That's not really clear. That's true. There
was a cloud of all kinds of speculation over
that team. Yes, there was. Yeah, yeah. So, and
I don't know. I mean. That's not without precedent
for a winning coach to be fired because he can't
get that final hurdle. No, it wouldn't be the
first time. No. No, I know. not going to be the
last either. You know, if Andy Reid didn't get
him to the Super Bowl and win a few, he probably
wouldn't still be here in Kansas City either.
No. If he was a one and done like the previous
administrations, no. No, he'd been fired too.
But he's got the guy in his delivery now, so
everyone's good with him. So, okay. Yeah, McDermott
will be a coordinator somewhere and also be a
head coach again somewhere. True. But, yeah,
I agree with you. If he doesn't get into the
Super Bowl, they're going to say we have no choice.
It's not working. Our ultimate goal at the end
of the day, anything short of winning the Super
Bowl, the Chiefs last year were a failure. They
were. They were. They did not complete the mission.
So you cannot call that a successful season.
Partly because they stunk it up so bad in the
Super Bowl, but even if it had been a close game,
it still would have been a failure. It's still
a failure, just not as bad. So the most important
game of the year, you didn't show up, so there
you go. Yeah. If you can't get yourself up and
ready for the Super Bowl, maybe this is not the
sport for you. Yeah. And maybe this is a team
where they led off last year at the Super Bowl,
they carried it over this year. Yeah. I don't
know. We hope not. That would be a shame if our
Super Bowl hangover started at the beginning
of last Super Bowl instead of after. It makes
you kind of wonder. Yeah. It makes you kind of
wonder. So, I don't know. Yeah, we'll see what
happens. Okay, is there any more? The next one
I picked was Rams at Panthers. That's my blowout.
Rams. And the Rams are going to win by three
scores. I'm seeing a 20 -point difference. I
do, too. So, I'm saying like 34 -14. Yeah. Yeah,
I agree. I think Matt Stafford's going to have
at least three error touchdowns, if not four.
Yeah. We have Raiders at Chargers. Couldn't read
my own handwriting for a second. Nothing really
surprising there. Chargers aren't playing well,
but Raiders suck. They fired Chip Kelly. They
fired an offensive line coach, an offensive somebody
coach. No, I think they're going to make it somewhat
interesting. Yeah, I don't think it'll be a total
blowout, but I'm looking at Chargers. Chargers
going to win, yeah. And it's not hard to predict.
I mean, like we said, they're already calling
for Pete Carroll's head. Yeah. Las Vegas is already
calling for his head. He's so out of touch. He
still is going the rah -rah. Everything's great.
JR quarterback's so nice. There's just one more
little thing we have to. He's so out of touch
because, you know, he's freaking old. I'm freaking
old, and I can recognize when somebody's freaking
old. I can recognize that, too. He is so out
of touch. It's past him. It's like Bill Belichick
down in North Carolina trying to talk to these
18 - to 21 -year -olds. They don't care what
he won, and they don't care what he has. They
don't care about the hardware on his fingers.
They don't give a shit. And he lost another game
last week. Yes, he did. And his daughter is fighting
with his fiancée or whatever she is. He's had
all these different little variant things happening,
and I mean, it's really turned out to be a complete
clusterfuck disaster. Yeah. Despite what UNC
is saying publicly, behind the scenes they're
saying, God, I wish we'd hired anybody else,
because this guy, even if he wins, he's just
making such an ugly stain on this university.
Well, number one, that was a dumb hire. It was.
But number two, they're trying to do this for
effect. Yeah. You know? Which they will deny,
but they will. Yeah, they'll deny. I was trying
to remember, did Belichick ever coach college
football? A long time ago. Long, long time ago.
Long, long time ago. Nothing that they can base
anything on. Yeah. I think they're just trying
to get a name. It's so many, so many decades
of coaching in the pros as a coordinator, as
a head coach. He's used to dealing with grown
-ass men who are earning a paycheck. In college,
you've got to schmooze the family to get them
to send their kid there. You've got to... You've
got to talk these kids out of their homesickness
or they broke up with their girlfriend or whatever.
Belichick's not that guy. No, no. And, okay,
I'm going to be fair about this, though. I'm
giving him three seasons for recruiting. True.
You've got to give him time for that. I've got
to give him this. Outside of the media, he has
a personality, and he's actually kind of funny.
Yeah, when his girlfriend lets him. Whenever
she's not over there with his old balls in his
hand, in her hand. I like the one, he's talking
about Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift, and he
goes, yeah, he goes, Travis had a lot of big
catches in his career. This is probably the biggest
one. Yeah. But he has a good personality, and
he's actually pretty humorous. It's funny. Yeah,
it's important to remember that he's just been
hiding it all this time. It's not like it doesn't
exist. He just won't share it. We got tired of
the media fucking with him, so he's like, all
right, watch this. Yeah, we had a pretty good
game. Yep. Well, can you explain? Yeah, we had
a good game. Yep. It's like, okay. Yep. And the
subtext was there is that I ain't giving you
guys anything because look what you did with
it last time. Yes. And so it was really quite
brilliant. What he did is, watch this. I'm going
to say a whole lot of nothing. He fulfilled his
contractual obligation to talk with the press
and to be cooperative, but they can't force him
to say anything he doesn't want to say. Yeah,
and he didn't. It's funny, too, because he was
one of the few guys that made the press sweat.
Yeah. You know, they're over there going. Normally
we have the upper hand now. I don't know. He's
like just. They are used to asking these weird
-ass questions that don't really make any sense,
but they're trying to get the coach to say something
stupid. Yeah, and one of the things he did that
was subtle, and I want your opinion on this.
Yeah. He wouldn't pick who was coming next. He
would let them fight it out. Yep. He'd just be
like. To me, that is huge. Because then you have
the media kind of at odds with each other. They're
not uniformed trying to make you look bad or
make you say something you didn't. And whenever
they're fighting to try to get their words in,
it's a completely different element. While he's
up there like, you're not getting shit from me,
so you might as well cover it. That was one of
the subtle things that he did that was completely
brilliant to me. I'm not going to say, hey, Jimbo
over there, your question. He didn't have a favorite.
He didn't like any of them. To me, you are all
equally worthless. Yes. Let me prove this by
my interview. All right, is there any more? Two
more. Sunday night, we got Broncos at Commanders.
I think the Broncos are going to handle him pretty
well. Yeah, yeah. Is Jaden Daniels coming back
any time soon, or is it still Mariota? I think
it's still Mariota. He's doing okay. But remember,
he's the guy that just decided to quit on his
team. That's what I was going to say. Yeah, I
could never respect him ever since then. He's
just not good. Yeah. If you watch the first season
of quarterback, he just kind of quits on his
team. There's a second season of quarterback
out on Netflix. Nobody watched it. Yeah, I didn't
realize it was there. I'm going to watch it.
Yeah, I'm going to watch it too, but I think
the subject matter, the people that they have
aren't as strong. Yeah. First was Mahomes, Cousins,
and Mariota. Mariota, yeah. And all of them were
so completely different, it was really unique.
Yeah. Of course, everybody wanted to watch Mahomes
because that was a Super Bowl year, a winning
year. And it was very improbable during the middle
season, and you got to see the down with the
ups. Yeah. Actually, very well done. I think
it was. They had another series called Receiver.
Yeah. And they've only had one season of that.
Yeah. I think Netflix, like I've always said,
they are like one of the few entities that are
capable of real journalism. Yeah. Because they
don't, the insurance company doesn't call them
up and go, hey. You know that piece you've done?
You take it down right now. Yeah. Well, why?
Well, look how much money we contributed to you
guys. Oh, okay, it's down. They can't do that.
Netflix is subscription -based. They get to say
what they want and do what they want. Kind of
like us. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A subscription of
nothing. Only people don't pay for ours. We can
barely give it away. Really? Yeah. And most of
the times people take it as an act of aggression.
That's true. Yeah, they're like, why would you
do this to me? Why would you make me listen to
this garbage? We'll have to count up one of these
days how many restraining orders we have. Yes,
yep. And I think we're getting ready to get one
next week, the way it sounds. Probably so, yeah.
At least we know Skip Bayless will never try
to keep us from talking about him because we're
the only people who will talk about him. Yeah,
yeah. And also it is peppered up with... This
is, the last one I did was, this is obviously
parody, a parody of nothing but, so help us God.
And then the other one about Dave Tobe is, this
could be Dave Tobe, but maybe it isn't. I love
that one. And it might be Dave Tobe, but not
that Dave Tobe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And if it was,
he could have said something like this. Like
I said. In an alternate universe. Yeah, the great
thing about the English, yes, the English language
was. You could say something without saying it
and actually denying it. Yeah. Yeah. It's just
like, what was it, the Aaron Rodgers and Devontae
Adams. Mm -hmm. Strictly plutonic relationship.
Yeah. Strictly. Strictly. Just buds. Just buds.
Yeah. Nothing else. Just friends. You didn't
say anything, did you? No. No. No, no, no. People
are entitled to think what they want, though.
Yeah. Yeah. So, all right. All right. Last game.
This is my other blowout. Giants at Patriots.
Patriots going to blow them out. Yeah, I think
so too. Giants have been playing okay lately,
but I'm thinking it's like a 30 -10 kind of game.
Okay. Well, here comes the SWAT team. Oh, they
got their flat. They got their jackets on. Yeah,
they're going to deploy here in a second. So
if we have to cut this podcast off pretty quick,
then you know why. Okay, on with you on that
game. So, all right, here they come. Let's cut
it off. All right. All right. Hey, everybody,
thank you for listening. We really appreciate
it. Keep listening. The numbers are great. Go
fuck yourself.
