WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.560
Hey, guess what? You just landed on the sports

00:00:03.560 --> 00:00:14.500
bastards. Sorry about your luck. Hi there. This

00:00:14.500 --> 00:00:18.820
is your ears. Why are you listening to this garbage?

00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:23.679
I thought we were friends. Harambe used to love

00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:27.100
talking sports. Harambe does not talk sports

00:00:27.100 --> 00:00:31.019
anymore. Why, you might ask? Harambe, he was

00:00:31.019 --> 00:00:33.460
senselessly murdered. He was murdered because

00:00:33.460 --> 00:00:35.740
some idiot could not watch their children properly

00:00:35.740 --> 00:00:40.359
while watching their phone. Sadly, Harambe does

00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:45.700
not talk sports anymore. Sorry, Harambe. Alright.

00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:48.719
The mystery will never be revealed. No. Nope,

00:00:48.820 --> 00:00:50.920
nope, nope. And it's a really good one, too,

00:00:50.939 --> 00:00:53.700
isn't it? Yeah. Oh, shit. I like that one. Oh,

00:00:53.700 --> 00:00:56.460
that's great. I know. There's another mystery.

00:00:56.460 --> 00:01:01.399
Why every pen I have in my backpack is dry and

00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:05.939
does not function. That's me. Yeah. And whenever

00:01:05.939 --> 00:01:08.939
you really, really need it, it's like, oh, good,

00:01:09.140 --> 00:01:13.000
I got a pen. No, you don't. I've noticed right

00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:15.620
off that there's a lot more reverb. Mm -hmm.

00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:18.099
uh they've got all the doors and windows closed

00:01:18.099 --> 00:01:20.500
here because it is freaking cold oh that's true

00:01:20.500 --> 00:01:23.299
yeah so we're bouncing off a lot of glass here

00:01:23.299 --> 00:01:25.640
so that's we're giving us a nice you know it's

00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:29.739
like we're in a hall or a small venue yeah yeah

00:01:29.739 --> 00:01:33.099
no no it does sound yeah it really does sound

00:01:33.099 --> 00:01:37.379
the acoustics are Makes me miss going to the

00:01:37.379 --> 00:01:40.180
Filthy Bean in Nashville. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:44.099
Nashville? Yeah, Nashville. And Rick is not happy

00:01:44.099 --> 00:01:46.159
with us. He's reached out several times, and

00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:48.200
we haven't been able, for various reasons, to

00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:50.939
make it there. Well, the last I heard, he was

00:01:50.939 --> 00:01:53.560
kind of romancing the two fucknuts in a recorder.

00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:57.840
Yeah, they took over our bench. Yeah. Should

00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:00.239
we get back there and reclaim it? I think we

00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:03.219
should. I think so, yeah. We don't hold a grudge

00:02:03.219 --> 00:02:04.739
against Ray. Glad you remembered one. I forgot

00:02:04.739 --> 00:02:06.859
one. Yeah, this one you brought me up last week.

00:02:06.939 --> 00:02:13.500
Oh, good. Okay, that was a little scan disc to

00:02:13.500 --> 00:02:16.639
put the show on. I'm now showing Mark how my

00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:19.979
podcast notes have been custom -chewed by a tiny

00:02:19.979 --> 00:02:25.569
dog. That's why I love the Talk is Cheap studio.

00:02:25.889 --> 00:02:27.770
Everything in there, I just shut the door and

00:02:27.770 --> 00:02:31.050
nothing gets bothered. Messy as hell, but I know

00:02:31.050 --> 00:02:33.490
where it's at. I've been making notes and then

00:02:33.490 --> 00:02:35.810
a small dog found my notes and decided that they

00:02:35.810 --> 00:02:39.169
were an excellent chew toy. Yeah, the dog said,

00:02:39.270 --> 00:02:42.150
oh, it's time to test my cuteness. Hey, watch

00:02:42.150 --> 00:02:46.509
this. I think I can still read it. I think it's

00:02:46.509 --> 00:02:50.090
still okay. Okay, cool. Well... Alright, there's

00:02:50.090 --> 00:02:52.430
all kinds of stuff we can get to, but do you

00:02:52.430 --> 00:02:57.050
want to go ahead and start with the Chiefs? How

00:02:57.050 --> 00:03:00.509
about we talk about our blowout and upset picks

00:03:00.509 --> 00:03:02.389
right off the bat? Okay, that's cool. I think

00:03:02.389 --> 00:03:03.729
that would be a fun way to start it. Yeah, I

00:03:03.729 --> 00:03:05.710
got the games with the playoff implications.

00:03:06.810 --> 00:03:09.770
Playoffs? Yeah, playoffs. If you want to go by

00:03:09.770 --> 00:03:12.430
this, I got this right here. These are all the

00:03:12.430 --> 00:03:14.810
good games and ones that have that playoff implication.

00:03:15.889 --> 00:03:18.389
Excellent. Yeah, I thought of that too. I was

00:03:18.389 --> 00:03:19.750
wanting to do the blowouts, but you want to go

00:03:19.750 --> 00:03:22.669
over the ones we did? Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah, from

00:03:22.669 --> 00:03:24.770
last week. Okay, sorry. I misunderstood you.

00:03:24.889 --> 00:03:28.310
Okay. See, last week. Oh, sports bastards. Sports

00:03:28.310 --> 00:03:31.949
bastards. I'm Mark. I'm Topher. Still. Yeah,

00:03:31.969 --> 00:03:34.530
I'm still Mark too. I was hoping to be someone

00:03:34.530 --> 00:03:36.990
else today, but no, didn't go through. Didn't

00:03:36.990 --> 00:03:40.990
go through. Anyhow. I think for blowouts, I think

00:03:40.990 --> 00:03:49.099
we both picked. Giants and Patriots. Yeah. And

00:03:49.099 --> 00:03:52.939
it was a blowout. It was 33 -15, so we both were

00:03:52.939 --> 00:03:56.900
correct there. And the 15, the last touchdown

00:03:56.900 --> 00:03:59.580
was garbage. Yeah. It was just garbage time.

00:03:59.699 --> 00:04:03.099
Oh, yeah. You guys are the best. City Market

00:04:03.099 --> 00:04:05.840
Coffee is the best place ever. Not only best

00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:09.120
coffee. Best employees, best food, best people.

00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:11.419
We love you guys. Appreciate it. Thanks for saying

00:04:11.419 --> 00:04:13.800
that. Too bad you can't smell things through

00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:15.699
the podcast. You got anything going on? Any specials

00:04:15.699 --> 00:04:17.560
or anything you want to say? You want to talk

00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:20.120
about or anything? Yeah, we got our frosted gingerbread

00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:23.240
latte right now. It's got white mocha and house

00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:25.759
-made gingerbread syrup. We have a spiced pear

00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:30.579
chai, spiced pear syrup that's fresh made. We

00:04:30.579 --> 00:04:32.680
have our turkey cranberry mountain. It's got

00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:36.279
house -made cranberry sauce and turkey and arugula.

00:04:36.540 --> 00:04:38.740
Sort of toasted bread. Wow, man, that sounds

00:04:38.740 --> 00:04:41.079
really good. And then we have our mistletoe margarita.

00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:44.120
It's a house made cranberry sauce mixed in with

00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:45.480
the margarita. So it's like a cranberry style

00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:47.860
margarita. Might have to do that one too. It's

00:04:47.860 --> 00:04:50.019
delicious. Hey, thank you. Thank you, appreciate

00:04:50.019 --> 00:04:53.959
it. Yep, no problem. Hey, thank you. Wow, that

00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:57.800
sounds good. Yeah, they have some, it's nice

00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:00.379
they have some different choices. They have the

00:05:00.379 --> 00:05:03.529
stuff you'd expect, but then they. They have

00:05:03.529 --> 00:05:05.209
some interesting stuff, too. You don't get it

00:05:05.209 --> 00:05:06.629
anywhere else. Oh, they are. They're amazing.

00:05:06.850 --> 00:05:11.509
Go ahead. I will in a second. Thank you. Let's

00:05:11.509 --> 00:05:20.709
see. And then for Upset, you picked the Bears

00:05:20.709 --> 00:05:22.949
over the Eagles, and you were absolutely right

00:05:22.949 --> 00:05:28.589
there, 24 -16. And you picked the Texans over

00:05:28.589 --> 00:05:30.930
the Colts, and you were correct there, too. Yeah.

00:05:31.709 --> 00:05:34.629
Yeah. I'm telling you, on upsets, I'm always

00:05:34.629 --> 00:05:36.629
really good, and I can't wait to get a couple

00:05:36.629 --> 00:05:40.629
of them. It was based on nothing. Yeah, we just

00:05:40.629 --> 00:05:42.649
picked a kind of sperm of the moment kind of

00:05:42.649 --> 00:05:44.970
thing. Okay, and did you pick the same with me,

00:05:44.990 --> 00:05:46.730
or did you have some others? I think I picked

00:05:46.730 --> 00:05:51.350
the Texans over the Colts as an upset, and I

00:05:51.350 --> 00:05:55.870
picked Rams and Panthers as a blowout, but it

00:05:55.870 --> 00:05:57.490
was not a blowout. It was a three -point game.

00:05:58.069 --> 00:06:00.379
Let's go. Yeah. And then I picked the Giants

00:06:00.379 --> 00:06:02.279
and Pats as a blowout, and I was correct there.

00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:04.300
Well, I mean, that is an upset that you picked.

00:06:04.339 --> 00:06:05.980
I mean, it didn't have to be a blowout, but you

00:06:05.980 --> 00:06:08.740
picked the upset per se. Actually, I was picking

00:06:08.740 --> 00:06:11.100
the Rams to blow out the Panthers, but the Panthers

00:06:11.100 --> 00:06:13.540
beat the Rams by three. So I got it totally wrong.

00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:16.339
Oh, okay. I should have picked it as an upset.

00:06:17.139 --> 00:06:19.379
Okay, I got it. I could hear myself saying it

00:06:19.379 --> 00:06:23.480
wrong when I said it the first time. So anyway,

00:06:23.699 --> 00:06:29.300
that was how we did last week. Okay. All right,

00:06:29.379 --> 00:06:35.120
so let's talk about the Chiefs. I need more coffee.

00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:38.759
This is going to be painful. Well, I remember

00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:40.680
thinking that the Chiefs were going to get behind

00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:43.800
early and stay behind and be trying to catch

00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:45.620
up all game long, but that was not the case.

00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:51.339
It was back and forth. It was a close game. Weird

00:06:51.339 --> 00:06:55.839
-ass penalties that were called, but that's getting

00:06:55.839 --> 00:07:00.689
to be about normal. I think the NFL is kind of

00:07:00.689 --> 00:07:03.149
trying to get us used to the fact that they're

00:07:03.149 --> 00:07:05.829
going to make calls like that to influence games,

00:07:05.970 --> 00:07:09.889
and we all need to just get used to it. And really,

00:07:10.089 --> 00:07:12.649
they have no obligation to the gamblers and the

00:07:12.649 --> 00:07:14.610
bettors because they tell you right up front

00:07:14.610 --> 00:07:17.329
it's an entertainment league, not a sports league.

00:07:17.389 --> 00:07:19.810
It's entertainment, and they're not duty -bound

00:07:19.810 --> 00:07:21.910
to give you a fair, open, honest game. If you

00:07:21.910 --> 00:07:24.670
bet on the NFL, you might as well go bet on the

00:07:24.670 --> 00:07:28.420
WWE. Yeah, or go bet on a rerun of Gilligan's

00:07:28.420 --> 00:07:30.180
Island that they might make it off the island

00:07:30.180 --> 00:07:34.060
this time. It's already predetermined. Why are

00:07:34.060 --> 00:07:37.040
you wagering on it? It's just ridiculous. I mean,

00:07:37.060 --> 00:07:39.759
if you want to bet on how many first downs are

00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:41.339
going to be made in the first half, that kind

00:07:41.339 --> 00:07:44.000
of thing is a little random. You've got some

00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:46.680
chances there. But if you're betting on the outcome...

00:07:46.970 --> 00:07:49.290
That's probably been already decided in a lot

00:07:49.290 --> 00:07:52.990
of these games. Or the point spread or the over

00:07:52.990 --> 00:07:57.389
-under. Yeah, all that is being massaged quite

00:07:57.389 --> 00:08:01.990
a bit. Massage, yes. I don't think that the teams

00:08:01.990 --> 00:08:04.930
are both really trying. Yeah. But they can't

00:08:04.930 --> 00:08:07.870
help what the refs do. And I'm not even sure

00:08:07.870 --> 00:08:09.550
if the teams know they're doing it. Probably

00:08:09.550 --> 00:08:12.410
not would be my guess. I don't know. Some of

00:08:12.410 --> 00:08:14.430
them look like you can see the frustration on

00:08:14.430 --> 00:08:17.910
their faces. man, this is just the way the scam

00:08:17.910 --> 00:08:20.329
is and I can't do anything about it. I just got

00:08:20.329 --> 00:08:23.550
to grit my teeth, keep playing, and cash my paycheck

00:08:23.550 --> 00:08:27.329
because this is all way above me. You're not

00:08:27.329 --> 00:08:30.269
going to make a difference. The guy who unloads

00:08:30.269 --> 00:08:32.850
the truck at the back door doesn't get to decide

00:08:32.850 --> 00:08:35.490
about your new Asian markets. He just doesn't.

00:08:36.950 --> 00:08:40.190
That's true. Well, another thing I think that's

00:08:40.190 --> 00:08:44.700
going on is... They influence the game so much,

00:08:44.700 --> 00:08:46.860
and everything's according to the line and the

00:08:46.860 --> 00:08:49.879
way the game is going. Because we live in a land,

00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:52.960
and now in Missouri, as of yesterday, you can

00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:55.620
sit in your home and get on your phone and bet

00:08:55.620 --> 00:08:58.120
every play if you want. And that's the way the

00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:00.519
game's designed. Yeah, and I think we're going

00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:02.539
to start seeing that more and more as the game

00:09:02.539 --> 00:09:06.320
is going to start changing on field to be more

00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:10.120
of a gambling -friendly type of game. People

00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:12.039
who are watching it to actually watch a football

00:09:12.039 --> 00:09:16.600
game are going to become an ignored minority.

00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:19.200
Because everyone is there because they've got

00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:21.379
money wager. And all they want to see is how

00:09:21.379 --> 00:09:24.360
their bets are going to come out. Does anybody

00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:26.919
watch horse racing that doesn't have money on

00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:30.500
it? No. No. And football is going that way. It's

00:09:30.500 --> 00:09:33.159
going to become like horse racing and dog racing.

00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:36.080
Unless you have money on it, nobody gives a damn.

00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:39.679
Right. And that's... That's fine for the NFL

00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:41.139
if that's what they want to do. It's their league.

00:09:41.340 --> 00:09:43.580
They get to steer it wherever they want to steer

00:09:43.580 --> 00:09:45.899
it, but it's just kind of a shame if that's what

00:09:45.899 --> 00:09:47.539
they're going to do. We don't have to partake

00:09:47.539 --> 00:09:49.519
if we don't want to. This is true. We always

00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:51.320
have alternatives. But the difference between

00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:54.340
this year and last year is right here, I think.

00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:57.179
Lack of execution in crucial times. And I've

00:09:57.179 --> 00:10:03.519
got some examples. Last year, we gave up 20 points

00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:06.259
per game. Guess how many we gave up this year?

00:10:07.309 --> 00:10:11.429
It's more than that. 19. Oh. Seriously. Really?

00:10:11.470 --> 00:10:15.169
Look it up. Yeah. Wow. I would have bet – I would

00:10:15.169 --> 00:10:17.009
have too. Look at me saying bet. I would have

00:10:17.009 --> 00:10:18.590
thought it was going to be a lot more than that.

00:10:18.769 --> 00:10:21.710
Okay. So what does that tell you? The games are

00:10:21.710 --> 00:10:25.029
all close like they were last year. Last year

00:10:25.029 --> 00:10:29.570
we had two losses, right? Yeah. Okay. Lack of

00:10:29.570 --> 00:10:33.919
execution. Lack of staying with a guy. I mean,

00:10:33.980 --> 00:10:36.159
how many times do you see Jamari Conner just

00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:39.679
get lost? Yes. Lost. Yeah. And, you know, it's

00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:42.159
not his fault. There's too much is being asked

00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:44.600
of him. So I don't blame any of the players.

00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:47.539
Too much is being asked of them, and the coaches

00:10:47.539 --> 00:10:49.539
don't realize these guys can't do what you're

00:10:49.539 --> 00:10:53.080
asking. Yeah. Part of it is the offensive line

00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:56.860
and also Patrick Mahomes' mindset that he has

00:10:56.860 --> 00:10:58.779
to have going into the game to not get murdered.

00:10:59.259 --> 00:11:06.860
Yeah. I do believe. I had to write down a name,

00:11:06.899 --> 00:11:10.779
sorry. Okay. Last year, going into this year,

00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:16.080
the amount of quarterbacks getting hit hard has

00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:19.399
increased. Yes. And you won't see it on like

00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:26.000
a, let me think, J .J. McCarthy. Yeah. You'll

00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:27.860
see hits on him. Yeah. But not that vigorous.

00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:30.480
So that would tell me that the intent from the

00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:32.629
other team. And if you don't believe me, just

00:11:32.629 --> 00:11:35.490
look at the highlights. Go on YouTube and look

00:11:35.490 --> 00:11:37.950
and say, quarterbacks getting hit this year.

00:11:38.190 --> 00:11:40.789
Mostly clobbered Aaron Rodgers yesterday. Oh,

00:11:40.789 --> 00:11:42.990
my God. Beat the shit out of him. What's his

00:11:42.990 --> 00:11:46.029
name? Clobbered Giants quarterback Dart. Yeah.

00:11:46.110 --> 00:11:48.509
If you are a quarterback that is doing reasonably

00:11:48.509 --> 00:11:51.210
well, you get hit harder. And I'm sure it can

00:11:51.210 --> 00:11:54.889
be proven by preponderance of evidence, by looking

00:11:54.889 --> 00:11:57.549
all this up, looking it over and over, and then

00:11:57.549 --> 00:12:01.600
going, okay, that's about 90%. a prominent quarterback

00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:07.299
gets hit harder than a J .J. McCarthy or a Marcus

00:12:07.299 --> 00:12:10.059
Mariota or someone like that. They don't really

00:12:10.059 --> 00:12:11.980
seem to care about those quarterbacks because

00:12:11.980 --> 00:12:16.279
they're going to beat them. Unless you're Denver.

00:12:16.940 --> 00:12:19.639
Mariota made you look horrible. Here's something

00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:23.759
to keep in the back of your mind about these

00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:26.080
quarterbacks getting clobbered. Remember we were

00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:28.320
talking about going to the 18 -game schedule,

00:12:28.379 --> 00:12:31.419
which they say is going to happen, and the international

00:12:31.419 --> 00:12:33.740
games, et cetera, et cetera, put a lot more strain

00:12:33.740 --> 00:12:36.039
on the players. And we were talking about how

00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:38.419
are they going to preserve their franchise quarterbacks,

00:12:38.539 --> 00:12:40.399
make sure the quarterbacks can last the season.

00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:43.860
They're going in the opposite direction, possibly,

00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:47.259
allegedly, is let's clobber all the franchise

00:12:47.259 --> 00:12:50.980
quarterbacks and bring the league back to interchangeable

00:12:50.980 --> 00:12:53.000
players. It doesn't matter who's on your team.

00:12:53.100 --> 00:12:54.740
When they're on your team, you hype them up.

00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:56.940
You sell their jerseys, but then when they get

00:12:56.940 --> 00:13:00.000
hit or injured, you dump them and find somebody

00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:03.840
to replace them. And I've got more evidence on

00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:05.399
that. I'm glad you brought that up. I didn't

00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:07.759
even think about that, but listen to this. Okay,

00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:11.639
how do you neutralize? How do you neuter a quarterback?

00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:15.779
By taking away his receivers. Yep. How do you

00:13:15.779 --> 00:13:18.490
do that? by either allowing pass interference

00:13:18.490 --> 00:13:21.350
or calling it offensively, which happened to

00:13:21.350 --> 00:13:23.990
us and happened to other teams too. We weren't

00:13:23.990 --> 00:13:26.009
the only team, so they aren't focusing just on

00:13:26.009 --> 00:13:28.610
us. And as they said, they always tell you, well,

00:13:28.710 --> 00:13:31.230
they could call holding on every play, basically.

00:13:31.509 --> 00:13:34.370
Yeah, that's by design. Yeah. So they're telling

00:13:34.370 --> 00:13:36.889
you right up front that they're calling holding

00:13:36.889 --> 00:13:40.649
when they feel like it. And we've all been fine

00:13:40.649 --> 00:13:43.409
with that. So, hey, this is on us. But, yeah,

00:13:43.409 --> 00:13:45.519
that's another way of, you know, oh. the team's

00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:47.559
getting too far down the field, we'll call holding

00:13:47.559 --> 00:13:50.419
because there was always holding. And it's like

00:13:50.419 --> 00:13:52.720
they can take away a play any time they need

00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:54.940
to. That's so true, yeah. And, you know, last

00:13:54.940 --> 00:13:57.899
season we were winning all the close games, and

00:13:57.899 --> 00:14:00.700
this season we're not. It's because we're not

00:14:00.700 --> 00:14:03.379
being allowed to. Oh, yeah. Last season we're

00:14:03.379 --> 00:14:05.720
being helped to win all those close games because

00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:08.519
that was the storyline. This season it's not

00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:11.080
the storyline, so that's working against us.

00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:13.820
Now, allegedly. I'm not saying this is totally

00:14:13.820 --> 00:14:17.279
true, but the influence seems to be there. Sure

00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:20.019
seems to be there to me too. Okay, here's what

00:14:20.019 --> 00:14:24.960
I got on that. Yeah. Okay. People are sick of

00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:28.000
seeing the Chiefs just like we were the Patriots.

00:14:28.059 --> 00:14:32.720
Yeah, absolutely. Okay, so this to me, I have

00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:35.080
no proof on this, but just the way I see it is

00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:37.360
this right here. They're doing everything they

00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:39.480
can to make sure the Chiefs are not doing that.

00:14:40.109 --> 00:14:42.870
because it's starting to cost them viewers. It's

00:14:42.870 --> 00:14:45.549
starting to cost them money. And also, once you

00:14:45.549 --> 00:14:49.230
think a league is favoring a team, people stop

00:14:49.230 --> 00:14:54.009
betting. But I think it's more obvious now than

00:14:54.009 --> 00:14:57.409
ever before. They're trying to show not a narrative,

00:14:57.470 --> 00:14:58.950
but actually they're doing the narrative more

00:14:58.950 --> 00:15:02.669
than ever. Yeah, and that way you can still influence

00:15:02.669 --> 00:15:06.129
games, and you can hide it by influencing a bunch

00:15:06.129 --> 00:15:09.120
of games in a bunch of ways. I'm reminded of

00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:12.460
the storyline of a thriller movie I saw back

00:15:12.460 --> 00:15:17.580
in the 80s, I think it was, that a certain woman

00:15:17.580 --> 00:15:21.120
was targeted for killing because she knew too

00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:27.179
much about a political figure. And this woman

00:15:27.179 --> 00:15:29.840
happened to be a prostitute. Now they thought

00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:31.799
if we just go out and kill her, just silence

00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:35.669
her, it's going to look suspicious. But... If

00:15:35.669 --> 00:15:38.750
we manufacture a fake serial killer and have

00:15:38.750 --> 00:15:41.110
him go out and kill five girls and this girl

00:15:41.110 --> 00:15:43.730
is number three, no one will think a thing of

00:15:43.730 --> 00:15:47.009
it. They'll never look into it past, oh, she

00:15:47.009 --> 00:15:49.330
was just another victim of a serial killer. So

00:15:49.330 --> 00:15:51.610
they hide the murder they're intending to do

00:15:51.610 --> 00:15:55.909
in a string of murders. Okay. Yeah. Just like

00:15:55.909 --> 00:15:58.730
the night Janice Joplin died of that overdose,

00:15:59.090 --> 00:16:01.950
about 17 other people did too because there was

00:16:01.950 --> 00:16:04.610
a real hot dose going around. She wasn't the

00:16:04.610 --> 00:16:08.190
only one. It was like the shotgun approach. Yeah,

00:16:08.230 --> 00:16:11.090
yeah. Hide her death. Oh, well, there was just

00:16:11.090 --> 00:16:12.970
a hot dose going around. She was just in the

00:16:12.970 --> 00:16:16.409
wrong place, wrong time. So that no one will

00:16:16.409 --> 00:16:18.590
ever believe you if you say Janis Joplin was

00:16:18.590 --> 00:16:20.470
targeted because, oh, look at all those other

00:16:20.470 --> 00:16:23.830
people that died of overdoses too. So you can

00:16:23.830 --> 00:16:27.350
hide a game -influencing call in the fact that

00:16:27.350 --> 00:16:29.149
you're doing it all game long and want this just

00:16:29.149 --> 00:16:34.659
one more. And that's what's going on. Yeah. So,

00:16:34.659 --> 00:16:39.320
I mean, look, I mean, like we said, this is all

00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:43.039
our beliefs. This is all our own thoughts on

00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:45.179
it. It may or may not be true. And, of course,

00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:47.919
we take the worst and darkest aspect of it because

00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:55.019
that's entertaining. Yeah. Yep. So, okay, so

00:16:55.019 --> 00:17:00.059
do you want to... Let's see, we can analyze the

00:17:00.059 --> 00:17:01.980
Chiefs a little bit more. Yeah, we were going

00:17:01.980 --> 00:17:06.119
to talk about play calling. Yeah. Play calling's

00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:09.059
been horrendous. It has. I don't understand in

00:17:09.059 --> 00:17:11.500
a million years why you can't throw the little

00:17:11.500 --> 00:17:14.180
slant pass. It was working earlier in the year.

00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:16.359
Why did they stop it? Absolutely. Running was

00:17:16.359 --> 00:17:20.099
working. Why did they stop it? I want these answers.

00:17:20.500 --> 00:17:24.400
I mean, why is this going on? Is Matt Nagy that

00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:27.579
incompetent? Is Andy Reid overriding him? Is

00:17:27.579 --> 00:17:30.119
Mahomes overriding him? That's a good question,

00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:32.960
yeah. Yeah, because nobody's going to tell us

00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:36.160
what's actually going on there. Well, I offered

00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:38.220
my big boss. I said, hey, if you ever want to

00:17:38.220 --> 00:17:40.759
join on a podcast, let me know. And he was talking

00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:42.519
about it, and I agreed with him after I thought

00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:44.339
about it because I explained to him the example

00:17:44.339 --> 00:17:47.319
that I had about how come quarterbacks that throw

00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:51.339
like to throw. Quite simply, they're more comfortable.

00:17:51.930 --> 00:17:54.109
And I think he's right. I think he's right. It's

00:17:54.109 --> 00:17:56.450
not like, oh, no, we're going to do it with my

00:17:56.450 --> 00:17:58.170
arm. That's what they're used to doing, winning

00:17:58.170 --> 00:18:01.069
games with their arms. Like Aaron Rodgers, Mahomes.

00:18:02.069 --> 00:18:05.910
Minnesota is in the championship game with Brett

00:18:05.910 --> 00:18:08.950
Favre. This is after he got booted out of Jets

00:18:08.950 --> 00:18:13.029
for showing pics of his wiener and all this stuff.

00:18:13.069 --> 00:18:14.990
And all this stuff he should have been doing.

00:18:15.230 --> 00:18:17.329
Yes. We were just learning about Brett Favre.

00:18:17.430 --> 00:18:19.349
We were just learning about him. He wasn't yet

00:18:19.349 --> 00:18:21.940
stealing funds, allegedly. From poor people.

00:18:22.140 --> 00:18:26.460
Yeah, allegedly. Okay, so he had eight yards

00:18:26.460 --> 00:18:29.619
to run, his four yards, I believe, four yards

00:18:29.619 --> 00:18:32.339
for a first down. There was a guy kind of open

00:18:32.339 --> 00:18:35.000
in the middle. He threw it to the kind of guy,

00:18:35.079 --> 00:18:37.839
the guy kind of open, got an interception. That's

00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:39.980
the way his career ended. Why didn't he run those

00:18:39.980 --> 00:18:42.839
six -yard slide, and he was going to win that

00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:45.519
game, and his game was going to end either winning

00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:48.859
or losing the Super Bowl. Yeah. Why didn't he

00:18:48.859 --> 00:18:53.440
do that? Well, he's used to it. He's used to

00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:55.579
the pats on the back. He's used to the hurrahs.

00:18:55.579 --> 00:18:58.680
He's used to being the heroes. Being talked about

00:18:58.680 --> 00:19:00.640
after the game as the guy that took the team

00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:03.200
on his shoulders and willed them to win. That's

00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:07.099
what they want. That's how they are geared. Imagine,

00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:09.559
listen, ego can work for you or against you.

00:19:09.660 --> 00:19:14.319
It's up to you. Their ego is that big. It is.

00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:18.149
It has to be. There's no way you can... accomplish

00:19:18.149 --> 00:19:21.109
all that extraordinary things if you didn't have

00:19:21.109 --> 00:19:24.589
an ego. You know, I feel that ego gets a bad

00:19:24.589 --> 00:19:27.130
rap because of the way some people handle it.

00:19:27.269 --> 00:19:30.170
True, true. You have to have some amount of ego.

00:19:30.410 --> 00:19:34.829
Yeah. So I think it's a part of ingrained in

00:19:34.829 --> 00:19:37.109
them, their ego, if you will, but not in a bad

00:19:37.109 --> 00:19:39.369
way. Yeah. They're not thinking, I'm not going

00:19:39.369 --> 00:19:42.690
to do this. I throw them the best ever. No, I

00:19:42.690 --> 00:19:45.250
think it's like, hey, I think I can get it to

00:19:45.250 --> 00:19:48.759
that guy. and I don't think that the cornerback's

00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:51.640
going to be there. Oops! Yeah. Guess he was.

00:19:51.859 --> 00:19:55.720
Yeah. Okay, so instead of running, that's what

00:19:55.720 --> 00:19:57.680
he's accustomed to doing is finding the open

00:19:57.680 --> 00:20:00.759
receiver. Running wasn't even in his option book

00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:04.640
when he went back. Yeah, yeah, and the older

00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:07.579
you get, the less comfortable you are running.

00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:10.720
Yeah, when he stepped back in the pocket, I don't

00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:12.759
even think he even thought about, all I've got

00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:15.019
to do is run those four yards right there. and

00:20:15.019 --> 00:20:16.480
I've got the first down, there's nobody near

00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:19.000
me. I think the only thing tunnel vision was

00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:24.400
is bam, right there. So the play calling on the

00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:27.799
Chiefs, though, I don't know if it's Mahomes

00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:32.880
all the way. I know this. Look at the enemy.

00:20:33.529 --> 00:20:36.329
Look at that running game he's installed up there

00:20:36.329 --> 00:20:38.569
in Chicago. They have the number one seed right

00:20:38.569 --> 00:20:40.990
now. The Bears have the number one seed. Now,

00:20:41.009 --> 00:20:42.670
last year, if I would have went to you and said,

00:20:42.789 --> 00:20:45.990
hey, Topher, Bears are going to have the number

00:20:45.990 --> 00:20:50.390
one seed. No, I mean it. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah,

00:20:50.410 --> 00:20:52.089
that's what I'm saying. How many other teams

00:20:52.089 --> 00:20:54.430
are quitting the league, did you say? Yeah, yes,

00:20:54.529 --> 00:20:57.789
yeah. Yeah, so that's what I'm saying is the

00:20:57.789 --> 00:21:01.450
enemy had a habit of getting players' asses,

00:21:01.450 --> 00:21:04.650
just like my homes. There's famous footage of

00:21:04.650 --> 00:21:06.289
him getting in his face and yelling at him when

00:21:06.289 --> 00:21:08.210
he did something he didn't think was good. Yeah.

00:21:08.329 --> 00:21:10.890
Okay. And he is offensive coordinator. Yeah.

00:21:10.970 --> 00:21:13.509
But I do know this. The offense seemed to be

00:21:13.509 --> 00:21:15.869
working much better with lesser talent. Yeah.

00:21:16.049 --> 00:21:18.269
Yeah. He didn't have nearly the penalties on

00:21:18.269 --> 00:21:21.309
offense. Yeah. So something's going on there.

00:21:21.470 --> 00:21:23.730
Yeah. We've already discussed special teams.

00:21:23.809 --> 00:21:25.609
I already told you what I think of Dave Tobe

00:21:25.609 --> 00:21:28.089
and his fucking wag the dog looking over there.

00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:32.700
Any man that will avert any question of scrutiny

00:21:32.700 --> 00:21:35.460
towards him and throw it on something else, like

00:21:35.460 --> 00:21:37.740
what the president said about the new rules,

00:21:37.900 --> 00:21:41.599
that guy, what he's doing is heat reversal. It's

00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:45.700
classic. Trump said, I don't give a fuck what

00:21:45.700 --> 00:21:47.680
Trump said. What I'm doing is I'm asking you.

00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:50.160
I'm asking you how come these guys aren't. Well,

00:21:50.180 --> 00:21:52.869
that guy's wrong. The new rules are. Go ahead.

00:21:53.069 --> 00:21:56.289
Get your name out there as saying something popular.

00:21:56.329 --> 00:21:58.930
Hurry. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then the people

00:21:58.930 --> 00:22:01.009
that believe in that are like that or back on

00:22:01.009 --> 00:22:04.269
his, you know. But, you know, this isn't Midwest,

00:22:04.490 --> 00:22:06.490
so I kind of question him in doing that. Maybe

00:22:06.490 --> 00:22:08.809
he did the wrong thing. I don't know, you know.

00:22:09.970 --> 00:22:14.890
So, anyhow, and this is not a political statement.

00:22:14.930 --> 00:22:17.450
I'm not saying yay or nay. So anyone that wants

00:22:17.450 --> 00:22:20.250
to make it out of that, just, no, that's not

00:22:20.250 --> 00:22:23.779
what it is. You're how old you are. You know

00:22:23.779 --> 00:22:25.720
how you feel. I'm not about to try to tell you

00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:28.059
how you feel or how you need to change your mind.

00:22:28.359 --> 00:22:32.579
And realistically, whatever political affiliation

00:22:32.579 --> 00:22:36.259
you want or which politicians you like and dislike,

00:22:36.539 --> 00:22:39.720
there's enough on the other side that they're

00:22:39.720 --> 00:22:42.900
worth advertising to. Yes. So you just got to

00:22:42.900 --> 00:22:45.420
put up with it. Yeah. You know, whoever you like.

00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:47.400
There's a lot of people who don't like them,

00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:50.279
and those people have money too. Yes, and that's

00:22:50.279 --> 00:22:52.660
the long and the short of it. Okay, so we agree,

00:22:52.779 --> 00:22:55.160
the play calling. Now, let's get to defense.

00:22:55.799 --> 00:22:59.460
All right, 19 points this year, one point better,

00:22:59.559 --> 00:23:02.240
which is significant in the NFL. Now, we're not

00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:05.720
through with the season, so that number could

00:23:05.720 --> 00:23:08.619
go up or down accordingly. True, true. We're

00:23:08.619 --> 00:23:11.539
getting ready to face what could be a couple

00:23:11.539 --> 00:23:13.380
of tomato cans, not the Texans, but I'm talking

00:23:13.380 --> 00:23:16.170
about the Titans and the Raiders. Yeah. Okay,

00:23:16.190 --> 00:23:21.150
that would lower your point differential, too.

00:23:21.210 --> 00:23:25.289
And last year, the schedule was tougher. No,

00:23:25.430 --> 00:23:28.430
this year the schedule is tougher than last year.

00:23:29.190 --> 00:23:31.369
Yeah. The teams in the division are much better,

00:23:31.430 --> 00:23:35.130
and the teams we faced are much better. That's

00:23:35.130 --> 00:23:41.170
true. So you could take it 19 and actually be

00:23:41.170 --> 00:23:43.130
pretty good with it if you look at it like that.

00:23:43.289 --> 00:23:47.069
Yeah. So to me. I think the thing is the lack

00:23:47.069 --> 00:23:50.009
of execution and overworking certain players.

00:23:50.250 --> 00:23:53.589
How can we go 12 quarters without a sack? How

00:23:53.589 --> 00:23:56.130
in the hell is that possible? You think you run

00:23:56.130 --> 00:23:58.250
into the quarterback at least once in those 12

00:23:58.250 --> 00:24:00.890
quarters. You get pushed into them once in those

00:24:00.890 --> 00:24:04.549
12 quarters. Yeah. Are they scheming against

00:24:04.549 --> 00:24:08.680
us that good? Because there's so many variables.

00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:11.019
It's their scheme against us. It's the individual

00:24:11.019 --> 00:24:13.380
play call. It's how tired is the player at that

00:24:13.380 --> 00:24:18.000
time. But the overall trend, like you say, it's

00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:20.500
lack of execution because other teams are getting

00:24:20.500 --> 00:24:22.759
it done under exactly the same circumstances.

00:24:23.299 --> 00:24:27.400
Yeah, Myles Garrett has over double what our

00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:30.079
whole team does in sacks. Yeah, there are a lot

00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:32.160
of players out there who have more sacks than

00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:34.940
our whole team. A lot of players. And Myles Garrett,

00:24:35.160 --> 00:24:38.509
I know he's having. A season of seasons. Yeah.

00:24:38.589 --> 00:24:42.109
Even though he's on a shitty team. I mean, I

00:24:42.109 --> 00:24:46.750
wish they would trade him. Oh, I would dump Chris

00:24:46.750 --> 00:24:48.569
Jones off. Me and my boss are talking about that.

00:24:48.829 --> 00:24:50.529
Oh, my gosh. Dump Chris Jones off to a sucker.

00:24:50.769 --> 00:24:53.009
Yeah. Okay, like, I don't know, someone that

00:24:53.009 --> 00:24:55.029
really, really needs a pass rusher, they think.

00:24:55.269 --> 00:24:59.490
Titans. Yeah, yeah, yes, yeah. Ship him off there.

00:24:59.750 --> 00:25:02.619
Hey, can we have your number one pick? No, that's

00:25:02.619 --> 00:25:04.700
what we're talking about. A sane team might give

00:25:04.700 --> 00:25:07.200
you a fourth or fifth, maybe, or maybe one of

00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:11.759
those player -to -determine -later deals or compensatory

00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:14.680
pick, maybe, possibly, and get rid of his salary.

00:25:15.099 --> 00:25:18.180
There's teams out there that's stupid. And they're

00:25:18.180 --> 00:25:20.099
going to get him on what he did, not what he's

00:25:20.099 --> 00:25:22.779
doing. So they'll look at his body, work, and

00:25:22.779 --> 00:25:26.000
go, we need that guy. So you've got to find one

00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:27.740
of those guys, get rid of him, go after Miles

00:25:27.740 --> 00:25:30.519
Garrett. He wants a Super Bowl ring, I'm certain.

00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:34.599
I'm sure. He's familiar with the Chiefs. He's

00:25:34.599 --> 00:25:40.000
familiar with the AFC. Yeah. So I'm already writing

00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:43.599
off this year. What about you? Yeah. Yeah. I

00:25:43.599 --> 00:25:48.160
look at the Chiefs as being a team that if somehow

00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:50.980
they make it into the playoffs. Thank you. And

00:25:50.980 --> 00:25:54.420
do you want any of the fried pickles? I'll nab

00:25:54.420 --> 00:25:55.759
that last pickle. Thank you. Okay. Go ahead.

00:25:56.400 --> 00:25:59.599
I look at the Chiefs as being a team that. If

00:25:59.599 --> 00:26:01.539
they make it in the playoffs, they're just going

00:26:01.539 --> 00:26:04.940
to be somebody else's tomato camp. And why have

00:26:04.940 --> 00:26:06.440
the Chiefs in there if they're just going to

00:26:06.440 --> 00:26:08.920
get clobbered and pummeled? Let somebody else

00:26:08.920 --> 00:26:14.279
have a chance. Yeah. And I look at the other

00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:17.640
teams that are ahead of the Chiefs, and they're

00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:20.799
all playing much better. Oh, God, yeah. So they

00:26:20.799 --> 00:26:23.200
would have to play. much worse and we would have

00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:25.839
to play much better to even make it in the playoffs.

00:26:26.220 --> 00:26:29.039
I don't think that's going to happen. I really

00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:30.759
don't think there's much to be had this year.

00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:32.980
Of course, they've got to pretend that, oh yeah,

00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:36.400
we're still fighting. They have to do that. Until

00:26:36.400 --> 00:26:39.240
they're mathematically eliminated, they're required

00:26:39.240 --> 00:26:42.259
by their contracts to keep up the happy face.

00:26:43.200 --> 00:26:48.440
I would like to see some serious changes made

00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:50.609
in the offseason. I would, too. There's got to

00:26:50.609 --> 00:26:52.490
be. There's got to be a partial rebuild. It can't

00:26:52.490 --> 00:26:54.549
be all the way. I would like to see some surprising

00:26:54.549 --> 00:26:57.950
changes that make people go, what? I do, too.

00:26:58.009 --> 00:26:59.250
I think it's going to need something like that.

00:27:00.049 --> 00:27:01.849
There are some people that you paid some money

00:27:01.849 --> 00:27:03.210
to that you're probably going to have to be your

00:27:03.210 --> 00:27:05.170
cornerstones, probably like Karloff. This is

00:27:05.170 --> 00:27:08.990
one of them on defense, offense. You have to

00:27:08.990 --> 00:27:15.009
keep Rice. There was a lot of, I would not re

00:27:15.009 --> 00:27:17.609
-sign Hollywood Brown like they did. No. You

00:27:17.609 --> 00:27:19.250
know, I wished he wouldn't have got injured last

00:27:19.250 --> 00:27:21.509
year so we could have known and moved on. Yeah,

00:27:21.549 --> 00:27:25.210
yeah. But Mahomes seems to love him, so I don't

00:27:25.210 --> 00:27:27.890
know what, yeah, whatever. But maybe they're

00:27:27.890 --> 00:27:30.789
using him wrong, too. I loved earlier in the

00:27:30.789 --> 00:27:33.349
season where they're having to do the little

00:27:33.349 --> 00:27:36.130
quick routes. Yeah. It didn't have to be a slant.

00:27:36.150 --> 00:27:38.470
It could be in the middle. Yeah. He turned around,

00:27:38.549 --> 00:27:41.410
the timing was there, bam. Mahomes got him. Nobody

00:27:41.410 --> 00:27:45.500
near him. Nobody near him. And Hollywood Brown,

00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:48.059
you get seven yards at a time. Who cares? That's

00:27:48.059 --> 00:27:50.799
the same as running phenomenal. And that may

00:27:50.799 --> 00:27:53.440
be the reason why Hollywood Brown's stats are

00:27:53.440 --> 00:27:56.140
so disappointing this season is they took that

00:27:56.140 --> 00:27:58.759
out of the playbook. And that's where he excels.

00:27:58.779 --> 00:28:01.359
As you said, he gets open early because he's

00:28:01.359 --> 00:28:04.720
really fast at acceleration. Over the long haul,

00:28:04.779 --> 00:28:07.680
he gets caught. Yeah, and his routes, I don't

00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:10.200
think he runs his routes all the way. Just like

00:28:10.200 --> 00:28:12.740
I know Worthy doesn't. I was listening. I've

00:28:12.740 --> 00:28:15.519
got to disclose this. I was listening to a surrender

00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:19.539
show last night on WHB, and he was talking about

00:28:19.539 --> 00:28:21.759
when Worthy caught that pass right in the middle

00:28:21.759 --> 00:28:24.559
of this last game, towards the end of the game.

00:28:25.559 --> 00:28:29.059
He had all these lanes for a touchdown, and he

00:28:29.059 --> 00:28:31.640
chose to go right for the defender. Oh, yeah.

00:28:31.740 --> 00:28:34.160
That is lack of instinct. And Saran is right.

00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:37.440
And I agree with that 100%. Yeah. That is so

00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:40.099
right. Because I noticed that right off the bat.

00:28:40.119 --> 00:28:42.339
I go, why the hell is he running that way? Yeah.

00:28:42.660 --> 00:28:45.000
There was like four other ways he could have

00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:47.359
gotten an end zone. That right there is stuff

00:28:47.359 --> 00:28:49.799
that you have to coach out of them. If you can't,

00:28:49.819 --> 00:28:51.640
you've got to get rid of them. The only people

00:28:51.640 --> 00:28:54.519
who really get away with that is like. really

00:28:54.519 --> 00:28:56.839
big tight ends or fullbacks who are just going

00:28:56.839 --> 00:29:00.160
to run right over you. But, yeah, he's not that

00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:02.960
kind of guy. No, no, no, not at all. I've even

00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:05.539
seen the defensive players doing that. I've seen

00:29:05.539 --> 00:29:13.140
someone coming around the left end towards the

00:29:13.140 --> 00:29:15.079
quarterback, and if they just shifted a little

00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:17.039
to the left, they've got a clear lane. But instead,

00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:21.700
they run directly at the blocker. Uh -huh. It's

00:29:21.700 --> 00:29:24.000
like, isn't your goal to get to the quarterback?

00:29:24.180 --> 00:29:27.079
I've never understood that. It must be the coaches

00:29:27.079 --> 00:29:29.579
saying, you know, go eat up your blocker and

00:29:29.579 --> 00:29:31.960
let someone else do their job. Your job is to

00:29:31.960 --> 00:29:34.000
go engage that blocker. The only thing I can

00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:36.180
think of is maybe worthy or sake you need to

00:29:36.180 --> 00:29:39.460
get out of bounds to save time. But if you can

00:29:39.460 --> 00:29:42.880
get in the end zone, that's saving time. No kidding.

00:29:43.079 --> 00:29:45.119
I don't know. You know, that's the only thing

00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:46.880
I can think of him thinking about, but still

00:29:46.880 --> 00:29:50.829
that's flawed. It's like, end zone? Out of bounds.

00:29:50.970 --> 00:29:53.950
There is almost no time in a football game where

00:29:53.950 --> 00:29:56.970
scoring is a bad idea. No. We had one in the

00:29:56.970 --> 00:29:58.529
Super Bowl. There was one time, Super Bowl, yes.

00:29:58.569 --> 00:30:02.349
When Jared McKinnon took a knee and we just run

00:30:02.349 --> 00:30:04.809
the clock out. And you look on Philadelphia's

00:30:04.809 --> 00:30:08.549
face, and I'm like, oh, shit. We stood back so

00:30:08.549 --> 00:30:10.609
he could run in the end zone, and he didn't.

00:30:10.730 --> 00:30:15.390
Yep. Oops. Oh, about that time you saw that little

00:30:15.390 --> 00:30:17.809
fucking weasel, Nick Sirianni, with his face.

00:30:21.450 --> 00:30:24.349
Give him credit. He learned and remembered. You

00:30:24.349 --> 00:30:26.170
know what? Yeah, I need to shut up. He did whip

00:30:26.170 --> 00:30:34.230
our ass. Sorry, Nico. Okay. Anything else you

00:30:34.230 --> 00:30:35.809
want to talk about or do we want to go into some

00:30:35.809 --> 00:30:40.390
other stuff? We can move on. Okay. All right.

00:30:40.589 --> 00:30:42.509
You want to go into some bullet points? You got

00:30:42.509 --> 00:30:45.150
something you want to go into? I've got a...

00:30:47.210 --> 00:30:49.869
A couple pages of mixed sports and music creep

00:30:49.869 --> 00:30:51.990
stuff. So I got some things I can throw in here

00:30:51.990 --> 00:30:54.029
and there. Okay. I love the bullet points. Okay.

00:30:54.109 --> 00:30:58.009
All right. Okay. All right. The first, I'm starting

00:30:58.009 --> 00:31:00.190
off on bullet points then. That's what you wanted

00:31:00.190 --> 00:31:04.809
me to do, right? Yes, sir. Are the NFL reps trying

00:31:04.809 --> 00:31:09.950
to prove something here? Hmm. Are they? And here's

00:31:09.950 --> 00:31:11.710
what I'm getting at with that. Are they trying

00:31:11.710 --> 00:31:14.009
to prove that they don't favor the Chiefs? Is

00:31:14.009 --> 00:31:17.400
that what we have? Are they? Are they? You know

00:31:17.400 --> 00:31:19.619
when you overcorrect in a lane and you do it

00:31:19.619 --> 00:31:21.819
so bad that it actually makes you drive worse?

00:31:22.099 --> 00:31:25.480
Uh -huh. Is that what they're doing? They're

00:31:25.480 --> 00:31:28.119
overcorrecting so bad it's obvious? You know,

00:31:28.180 --> 00:31:32.740
that does make a lot of sense. Whoever is actually

00:31:32.740 --> 00:31:37.519
directing this, whether it's the officials' league

00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:40.400
or the NFL league or whoever's in charge, competition

00:31:40.400 --> 00:31:42.940
committee, could be all sorts of hands guiding

00:31:42.940 --> 00:31:46.779
this. But yeah, this does look like a camp classic

00:31:46.779 --> 00:31:51.740
case of overcompensating. Yeah. It's like, oh,

00:31:51.779 --> 00:31:54.059
they're accusing us of doing this, so we'll make

00:31:54.059 --> 00:31:55.940
sure, we'll show them that we're not. And then

00:31:55.940 --> 00:31:57.759
they just go way too far. It's like when you

00:31:57.759 --> 00:32:00.220
tell a lie and you give way too much information.

00:32:00.220 --> 00:32:01.880
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the first time you

00:32:01.880 --> 00:32:04.180
know someone's lying. Yeah, yeah. And yeah, there

00:32:04.180 --> 00:32:07.319
was a guy at the corner that was flipping people

00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:09.500
off. He was like, okay. And he had a blue shirt.

00:32:09.720 --> 00:32:11.480
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it had flowers on

00:32:11.480 --> 00:32:13.579
it. But, yeah, that's kind of what this smells

00:32:13.579 --> 00:32:17.099
like is the officials are trying too hard to

00:32:17.099 --> 00:32:20.240
say, nothing to see here. That's why I wrote

00:32:20.240 --> 00:32:22.579
that out. On that game, I was like, wow, this

00:32:22.579 --> 00:32:25.759
is like someone that got the word on something

00:32:25.759 --> 00:32:29.119
and overcorrected. That's how obvious it was.

00:32:29.220 --> 00:32:31.500
That will be a game full of plays that they can

00:32:31.500 --> 00:32:33.779
point to and say, look, see, we're not biased

00:32:33.779 --> 00:32:36.180
in favor of the Chiefs. Look at that. And then

00:32:36.180 --> 00:32:38.220
people won't remember the whole game. And then

00:32:38.220 --> 00:32:39.440
they hear Tony Romo. They'll just look at the

00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:42.099
little snips there. Tony Romo talking about it

00:32:42.099 --> 00:32:43.779
and Jim Nance, and they're both deciding, no,

00:32:43.819 --> 00:32:46.440
that wasn't a penalty. Then everybody hears that,

00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:48.519
and they're like, well, okay, well, if they were

00:32:48.519 --> 00:32:51.099
on the Chiefs or not now, they're happy, they

00:32:51.099 --> 00:32:54.180
go home. Yeah. Also, just create a little distance

00:32:54.180 --> 00:32:56.720
between, you know, where you are now and where

00:32:56.720 --> 00:32:59.180
you were then, and people will forget and forgive

00:32:59.180 --> 00:33:01.259
and give you the benefit of the doubt left and

00:33:01.259 --> 00:33:04.000
right. Yeah. And also, the Chiefs have not been

00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:06.160
forgotten about yet either. That's another problem

00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:08.759
too. People are still betting on the Chiefs.

00:33:08.759 --> 00:33:11.660
They're betting on them waking up. I'm not. I'm

00:33:11.660 --> 00:33:14.079
not that stupid. And plus, I wouldn't bet football

00:33:14.079 --> 00:33:16.000
right now anyhow. No, not really. You have to

00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:20.400
be a fool to bet football. So, all right. So

00:33:20.400 --> 00:33:24.569
we agree. Yeah, looks like overcompensations

00:33:24.569 --> 00:33:26.730
on the part of the officials. Yeah, they overswerved

00:33:26.730 --> 00:33:32.450
and they hit the ditch. Yes. All right. Could

00:33:32.450 --> 00:33:35.369
they be listening to the wimpy -ass crybabies

00:33:35.369 --> 00:33:37.609
and purposely trying to look harsh on the Chiefs?

00:33:37.849 --> 00:33:39.849
Well, we kind of answered that, didn't we? Yeah.

00:33:39.970 --> 00:33:41.829
That's one of the things going on. I did that

00:33:41.829 --> 00:33:43.950
in case we didn't elaborate on it because sometimes

00:33:43.950 --> 00:33:46.349
we get distracted and we just go, yeah, we agree,

00:33:46.490 --> 00:33:50.269
and then we go on. So, yeah, absolutely. Instead

00:33:50.269 --> 00:33:52.890
of listening to the wimpy -ass crybabies, they're

00:33:52.890 --> 00:33:56.289
listening to the sportsbooks in Vegas and Atlantic

00:33:56.289 --> 00:33:59.710
City and wherever else who are saying, we're

00:33:59.710 --> 00:34:01.509
noticing a little shift in the betting here,

00:34:01.630 --> 00:34:04.450
so why don't you do this and this and this to

00:34:04.450 --> 00:34:06.710
kind of shift the betting patterns back. And

00:34:06.710 --> 00:34:08.190
then the next week you call them up and say,

00:34:08.250 --> 00:34:10.030
yeah, that worked. Keep doing it. It wouldn't

00:34:10.030 --> 00:34:11.969
surprise me if New York's hardwired in their

00:34:11.969 --> 00:34:15.369
feed and telling them. Yeah. Yeah. Be like, hey,

00:34:15.449 --> 00:34:18.630
the line just changed and you have the percentages.

00:34:18.909 --> 00:34:20.949
You know how they do it. And then all of a sudden,

00:34:21.010 --> 00:34:22.730
you know, everyone's like jumping on the tip

00:34:22.730 --> 00:34:25.530
of something because someone suggested it. I

00:34:25.530 --> 00:34:27.590
think a lot of that's going on too. I remember

00:34:27.590 --> 00:34:31.369
a few years back the league said, oh, yeah, we

00:34:31.369 --> 00:34:33.909
have somebody watching every play of every game

00:34:33.909 --> 00:34:38.550
that's on. can intervene or are watching for

00:34:38.550 --> 00:34:42.349
something they can find people for, etc., etc.

00:34:42.610 --> 00:34:45.929
So they kind of introduced that a few years back,

00:34:46.010 --> 00:34:48.710
that every play of every game is being scrutinized

00:34:48.710 --> 00:34:52.269
in real time by people who know what the NFL's

00:34:52.269 --> 00:34:54.329
party line is and what they're supposed to do.

00:34:54.630 --> 00:34:57.590
And any one of them can contact the officiating

00:34:57.590 --> 00:35:00.389
crew of the game and say, here's what we want.

00:35:01.639 --> 00:35:03.599
here's what we don't like, here's what we like

00:35:03.599 --> 00:35:06.920
more of, etc. It can happen. It's possible. Yeah,

00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:11.219
no, you're right. It can. Okay, so we're very

00:35:11.219 --> 00:35:12.980
much in agreement on that, like I thought we

00:35:12.980 --> 00:35:17.420
would be. Okay, the refs are horrible. Oh, yeah.

00:35:17.519 --> 00:35:20.159
Could we maybe get a rating system in place if

00:35:20.159 --> 00:35:24.400
a blind -ass ref continues? He gets let go. There

00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:27.400
should be something. Yeah, and that would actually

00:35:27.400 --> 00:35:29.920
be a smart idea because that would give the viewing

00:35:29.920 --> 00:35:34.699
public... the impression that we have some sort

00:35:34.699 --> 00:35:37.199
of control and we can actually do something about

00:35:37.199 --> 00:35:39.960
it. I purposely would not believe it. No, no,

00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:42.940
they'll prop somebody up as the sacrificial lamb,

00:35:43.079 --> 00:35:44.920
and however you vote, they've already decided

00:35:44.920 --> 00:35:48.139
how the vote's going to come. I agree. And it's

00:35:48.139 --> 00:35:50.000
like, oh, yeah, well, there you go. The fans

00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:52.639
have spoken. Look how responsive we are, and

00:35:52.639 --> 00:35:54.800
it's a great PR win for the league. So, yeah,

00:35:54.880 --> 00:35:58.170
why not? Okay, we're in agreement on that one

00:35:58.170 --> 00:35:59.750
too. They've probably already thought of it.

00:35:59.989 --> 00:36:03.250
I'm sure they have. It's coming in 2028. Well,

00:36:04.130 --> 00:36:06.650
just like the extra game. Right now, too many

00:36:06.650 --> 00:36:08.010
people are getting injured. There's going to

00:36:08.010 --> 00:36:10.090
be outrage. They're waiting, waiting, waiting.

00:36:10.929 --> 00:36:12.869
Okay, this year we're going to have an extra

00:36:12.869 --> 00:36:15.670
game. And then they're going to justify it by

00:36:15.670 --> 00:36:18.949
taking away a preseason game. The starters weren't

00:36:18.949 --> 00:36:21.409
playing in that anyhow. I think they're also

00:36:21.409 --> 00:36:24.530
going to justify it by altering the rules as

00:36:24.530 --> 00:36:28.329
far as hits. I agree. Making the passing game

00:36:28.329 --> 00:36:31.329
just ridiculously easy. They'll probably put

00:36:31.329 --> 00:36:33.829
in a rule saying you can rush no more than four

00:36:33.829 --> 00:36:36.050
people on any given. Well, that would be nice

00:36:36.050 --> 00:36:38.570
if they did. We'd do much better. Remember in

00:36:38.570 --> 00:36:40.570
the Pro Bowl, they limited the number of people

00:36:40.570 --> 00:36:43.269
you could rush. There's no blitzing. They'll

00:36:43.269 --> 00:36:45.389
do that in a regular season game. If that's what

00:36:45.389 --> 00:36:47.570
it takes to get the extra game and still have

00:36:47.570 --> 00:36:49.710
the marquee quarterbacks, they'll do it. Yeah,

00:36:49.710 --> 00:36:51.909
the new rule in the Pro Bowl is if you touch

00:36:51.909 --> 00:36:54.360
a quarterback, you have to kiss him. Yes. Yeah,

00:36:54.380 --> 00:36:56.639
yeah. And buy him a drink. And buy him a drink,

00:36:56.739 --> 00:37:00.239
yes. You have to officially ask him out on a

00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:02.639
date. Yes. If you touch him. And remember, no

00:37:02.639 --> 00:37:07.400
means no. Yes. So no hitting unless he says it's

00:37:07.400 --> 00:37:12.360
okay. Yeah. All right. What happened to discipline?

00:37:13.039 --> 00:37:16.300
Oh, my gosh. And this is on the Chiefs, yes.

00:37:16.480 --> 00:37:19.880
But a lot of teams look sloppy as fuck. Look

00:37:19.880 --> 00:37:22.590
at Philadelphia. What happened to them? They

00:37:22.590 --> 00:37:26.369
come out of no hangover there. They come out

00:37:26.369 --> 00:37:29.070
of the box mean, lean, and pissed off and ready

00:37:29.070 --> 00:37:31.489
to go, and suddenly you see them cowering in

00:37:31.489 --> 00:37:33.889
the corner, uncertain, unsure of themselves.

00:37:34.489 --> 00:37:39.769
Yeah. It is a weird damn game. There was a player

00:37:39.769 --> 00:37:45.909
yesterday or Sunday who there was a turnover

00:37:45.909 --> 00:37:48.070
on the field. I think it was the other team went

00:37:48.070 --> 00:37:50.699
for it on fourth down, didn't make it. And the

00:37:50.699 --> 00:37:52.619
player immediately ripped his helmet off and

00:37:52.619 --> 00:37:54.659
started running around the field with no helmet

00:37:54.659 --> 00:37:57.420
on. Now, everybody knows that's a penalty. You

00:37:57.420 --> 00:37:59.920
have to be on the sideline or injured before

00:37:59.920 --> 00:38:01.519
you can take your helmet off. It doesn't matter

00:38:01.519 --> 00:38:02.800
if the clock has stopped. It doesn't matter.

00:38:03.539 --> 00:38:06.320
But he did it anyway, and I started thinking,

00:38:06.480 --> 00:38:10.679
is this the NFL having to give ground to all

00:38:10.679 --> 00:38:13.380
the individual players wanting their own individual

00:38:13.380 --> 00:38:19.239
brand and podcasts and endorsements? Well, okay.

00:38:19.949 --> 00:38:23.610
If they start doing that, I mean, to me, if you

00:38:23.610 --> 00:38:25.710
don't stick to rules, you don't have them. Yeah.

00:38:27.429 --> 00:38:33.190
Look at NASCAR. NASCAR as a whole has sponsors

00:38:33.190 --> 00:38:36.130
and official partners, etc. But the individual

00:38:36.130 --> 00:38:39.090
teams can sign sponsors or whoever they want

00:38:39.090 --> 00:38:42.710
and stick them on their car. The Kansas City

00:38:42.710 --> 00:38:45.150
Royals have a Quick Trip logo stuck on their

00:38:45.150 --> 00:38:48.570
uniform because that's an official sponsor. I

00:38:48.570 --> 00:38:50.809
would not be surprised in a few years to see

00:38:50.809 --> 00:38:54.889
NFL players with sponsor logos on their uniforms

00:38:54.889 --> 00:38:58.329
and each player should have whichever ones they

00:38:58.329 --> 00:39:01.210
want. NASCARs are whores. Yeah. They got them

00:39:01.210 --> 00:39:03.170
everywhere. Look at one of their suits. Look

00:39:03.170 --> 00:39:04.570
at one of their fire suits. Everything. It's

00:39:04.570 --> 00:39:07.130
got the patches of everything. It's hard to tell

00:39:07.130 --> 00:39:10.150
what color their car. I know. You can't tell.

00:39:10.170 --> 00:39:13.429
Back in the Dale Earnhardt senior days, you had

00:39:13.429 --> 00:39:15.949
some of them, but not all of them. Yeah. And

00:39:15.949 --> 00:39:19.409
you could tell, okay, that's him. That's Tony

00:39:19.409 --> 00:39:22.409
Stewart. Well, Tony Stewart raced until later

00:39:22.409 --> 00:39:24.110
when they started putting all those. But, yeah,

00:39:24.510 --> 00:39:27.940
Andretti's or somebody, right? Yeah, you look

00:39:27.940 --> 00:39:29.519
back then and look now, and you're like, geez,

00:39:29.619 --> 00:39:32.760
what happened? Every inch of real estate they

00:39:32.760 --> 00:39:35.960
can find, they sold. Yeah. So the NFL is doing

00:39:35.960 --> 00:39:38.360
the same thing, and there is no discipline because

00:39:38.360 --> 00:39:41.360
I think that one thing is, is I think that the

00:39:41.360 --> 00:39:43.380
teams have been stretched out with extra games.

00:39:43.659 --> 00:39:45.860
Yeah. And I think when you get tired, you lose

00:39:45.860 --> 00:39:49.920
focus. And I think the players' union has something

00:39:49.920 --> 00:39:52.539
to do with it as well. I think there's a lot

00:39:52.539 --> 00:39:54.739
of encouragement within the union to the players

00:39:54.739 --> 00:39:58.670
of, you know, Be more individuals as far as team

00:39:58.670 --> 00:40:03.849
identity, but still be a team as far as your

00:40:03.849 --> 00:40:05.469
teammates because they're your union brothers.

00:40:05.769 --> 00:40:07.989
Yeah, yeah. But as far as the owners and the

00:40:07.989 --> 00:40:10.989
head coach and all that, you know, express some

00:40:10.989 --> 00:40:13.269
individuality and some control over your life

00:40:13.269 --> 00:40:17.239
and don't wear their sponsors. You know, we'll

00:40:17.239 --> 00:40:19.380
fight until you can get your own sponsor's logos.

00:40:19.460 --> 00:40:21.219
Well, there'll be a lawsuit or something where

00:40:21.219 --> 00:40:24.280
a player says, I have a right to wear my logo.

00:40:24.380 --> 00:40:26.440
There have been in the past. I remember in the

00:40:26.440 --> 00:40:30.920
80s, a Bears player was wearing an Adidas headband,

00:40:31.019 --> 00:40:33.019
and that wasn't the official sponsor of the NFL,

00:40:33.219 --> 00:40:36.039
and he got a massive fine. Yeah, who was that?

00:40:36.039 --> 00:40:38.940
I think it was Walter Payton. Okay, that sounds,

00:40:39.099 --> 00:40:40.880
okay. And I remember saying, he's like, well,

00:40:40.900 --> 00:40:43.280
I have a deal with Adidas. And they said, well,

00:40:43.320 --> 00:40:46.179
that's fine, but. Not during an NFL game because

00:40:46.179 --> 00:40:49.199
the NFL has a deal with Nike and whatever. He

00:40:49.199 --> 00:40:51.860
has the NFL. Yeah. But that's something that

00:40:51.860 --> 00:40:54.380
could be negotiated into the next collective

00:40:54.380 --> 00:40:57.500
bargaining agreement. And I'm sure it will be.

00:40:57.619 --> 00:41:00.639
Yeah. I mean, if that's the hangnail of getting

00:41:00.639 --> 00:41:03.539
back on the field, I think they'll cave. Yeah.

00:41:03.579 --> 00:41:05.880
And you can get a more cooperative workforce

00:41:05.880 --> 00:41:08.420
if you're letting them make money on the side

00:41:08.420 --> 00:41:12.469
too. Yep, you let them their freedom to their

00:41:12.469 --> 00:41:16.510
entrepreneurship maybe or whatever. So, yeah,

00:41:16.630 --> 00:41:18.710
I think that's coming up, and you will see that.

00:41:18.909 --> 00:41:20.989
And I think that will lead to greater turnover

00:41:20.989 --> 00:41:22.690
of players. They won't stay in the league as

00:41:22.690 --> 00:41:24.849
long because, you know, they'll realize, hey,

00:41:24.929 --> 00:41:27.570
I can make almost as much money or more and not

00:41:27.570 --> 00:41:29.769
get the snot pounded out of me every week. So,

00:41:29.869 --> 00:41:32.389
huh, after four years, I'm retiring from football.

00:41:32.530 --> 00:41:35.559
And the NFL says, good, because you're – per

00:41:35.559 --> 00:41:39.360
year salary was about to go up. Yep. And also,

00:41:39.500 --> 00:41:42.199
I think, isn't it Christian Akoya that still

00:41:42.199 --> 00:41:45.199
sells insurance? Yep. Yeah, people want to meet

00:41:45.199 --> 00:41:48.329
him. I don't know about his rates. They could

00:41:48.329 --> 00:41:50.730
be triple. Yeah. But people still want to meet

00:41:50.730 --> 00:41:53.230
him, so they're like, hey, let's call up Christian

00:41:53.230 --> 00:41:55.090
Akoya. Here's his number right here in the phone

00:41:55.090 --> 00:41:58.289
book or whatever. My insurance agent is a Nigerian

00:41:58.289 --> 00:42:00.789
nightmare. Yes. That would be pretty cool if

00:42:00.789 --> 00:42:02.530
you could say that. He has a couple of bad knees,

00:42:02.690 --> 00:42:07.719
but, man, he's still a big guy. He is. So. Yeah,

00:42:07.900 --> 00:42:10.119
yeah. There's all kinds of ways to make money

00:42:10.119 --> 00:42:11.900
when you're a high -profile person like that.

00:42:12.019 --> 00:42:14.940
And Akoya was a hell of a running back for a

00:42:14.940 --> 00:42:17.119
couple years, but he was so big that he needed

00:42:17.119 --> 00:42:20.039
his knees. Yeah. But his knees did not need him.

00:42:20.340 --> 00:42:23.099
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then when people realized

00:42:23.099 --> 00:42:24.900
that he could only run in a straight line, it

00:42:24.900 --> 00:42:26.000
was pretty easy. Well, that was the other thing,

00:42:26.000 --> 00:42:28.699
too. Yeah. They just started putting five people

00:42:28.699 --> 00:42:31.420
on him. Yeah. It was like, okay. This guy cannot

00:42:31.420 --> 00:42:35.230
cut back. Yeah, so, no, he was too big. I mean,

00:42:35.269 --> 00:42:37.809
to be honest, he was too big. Funny seeing him

00:42:37.809 --> 00:42:40.030
next to his wife. His wife looks like, I don't

00:42:40.030 --> 00:42:43.829
know, like almost like I'm not being derogatory

00:42:43.829 --> 00:42:45.849
or nothing, like the size of a dog next to a

00:42:45.849 --> 00:42:49.130
human. I mean, just like small. And she's an

00:42:49.130 --> 00:42:51.710
average -sized woman. Yeah. So that's how big

00:42:51.710 --> 00:42:55.170
he is. He's like three of her. Yeah. That's amazing.

00:42:55.389 --> 00:43:00.369
Yeah, that's something. So, all right. Or the

00:43:00.369 --> 00:43:03.210
Chiefs. Too wrapped up in their recent success.

00:43:03.570 --> 00:43:06.570
Do they need a wake -up call? And what I mean

00:43:06.570 --> 00:43:10.670
by that is sitting the year out. January comes,

00:43:10.710 --> 00:43:14.230
they're making Cancun plans. Yeah. Yeah, I think

00:43:14.230 --> 00:43:17.690
that would be what it takes at this point. Because

00:43:17.690 --> 00:43:22.300
if they make the postseason now. after all this,

00:43:22.460 --> 00:43:24.800
then they'll say, see, we're not so bad. I want

00:43:24.800 --> 00:43:26.840
them to feel really awful about themselves. Yeah,

00:43:26.860 --> 00:43:28.360
they're going to go, well, we had a bad stretch,

00:43:28.500 --> 00:43:30.820
but we're on the right track. No, we need them

00:43:30.820 --> 00:43:33.340
to go, what the fuck happened? Everyone lapped

00:43:33.340 --> 00:43:35.940
us, and we took a step back at the same time.

00:43:36.239 --> 00:43:39.400
I think what would really give them a slap in

00:43:39.400 --> 00:43:43.380
the face was lose the last two games badly in

00:43:43.380 --> 00:43:46.400
no postseason, and then you've got to sit and

00:43:46.400 --> 00:43:49.860
chew on that all during the offseason. And then

00:43:49.860 --> 00:43:52.579
also, The football rankings and everything putting

00:43:52.579 --> 00:43:55.039
you down in the 20s, that'd be a hell of a kick

00:43:55.039 --> 00:43:57.659
in the nuts. They're used to losing a couple

00:43:57.659 --> 00:43:59.980
of games and still being number one. They're

00:43:59.980 --> 00:44:01.960
used to people going, nope, we're no, no, no.

00:44:02.059 --> 00:44:03.780
They're still number one. They just had some

00:44:03.780 --> 00:44:06.519
bad luck or whatever. No, people are not viewing

00:44:06.519 --> 00:44:09.380
it like that now, and I think that needs to happen.

00:44:09.599 --> 00:44:13.480
That and a slight overhaul, a partial overhaul.

00:44:14.420 --> 00:44:16.340
You need to clean some house with some of these

00:44:16.340 --> 00:44:18.619
people. First one going should be Chris Jones.

00:44:19.750 --> 00:44:23.389
Yeah, I would get rid of him. Amenahew is not

00:44:23.389 --> 00:44:28.849
doing anything. I'd get rid of number 74. Oh,

00:44:28.869 --> 00:44:31.309
Jawan Taylor. Jawan Taylor, yeah. There's got

00:44:31.309 --> 00:44:34.849
to be somebody out there who's better than him

00:44:34.849 --> 00:44:37.530
at right tackle. Well, the problem is we drafted

00:44:37.530 --> 00:44:40.550
Josh Simmons, then he took a month. And I'm not

00:44:40.550 --> 00:44:42.489
– listen, that's family. Whatever it – yeah.

00:44:42.650 --> 00:44:44.530
Yeah, I agree with that. That's family. Family

00:44:44.530 --> 00:44:46.429
is more important than anything. Yeah. That was

00:44:46.429 --> 00:44:49.000
his mom. Something was wrong with her. He needed

00:44:49.000 --> 00:44:51.619
to be there. That's fine. Yeah. But now he's

00:44:51.619 --> 00:44:54.420
injured for a long time. And we pretty much lost

00:44:54.420 --> 00:44:58.559
half the season. Yeah. From him, yeah. We got

00:44:58.559 --> 00:45:01.139
less than half of the season. So I consider that

00:45:01.139 --> 00:45:04.219
a bust. Yeah. I mean, look, he may come back

00:45:04.219 --> 00:45:06.719
roaring next year and be the best ever, but this

00:45:06.719 --> 00:45:10.400
season right here, he's a bust. Yeah, yeah. That's

00:45:10.400 --> 00:45:12.139
something we can always look back on this rookie

00:45:12.139 --> 00:45:14.599
season and say, it was such a mess, there's no

00:45:14.599 --> 00:45:17.440
way he can progress from that. Yeah, no, you're

00:45:17.440 --> 00:45:21.639
right. So that was a bust right there. They missed

00:45:21.639 --> 00:45:24.880
completely on him. But they can recover next

00:45:24.880 --> 00:45:26.579
year. We'll see. I mean, I was talking to my

00:45:26.579 --> 00:45:28.679
boss about it. And, you know, I was talking about

00:45:28.679 --> 00:45:33.260
dislocated and shattered wrist. Well, he pointed

00:45:33.260 --> 00:45:34.840
out, I didn't think about this, they have things

00:45:34.840 --> 00:45:37.400
he can wear and stuff like that that will protect

00:45:37.400 --> 00:45:39.059
him. Because I was wondering about his career

00:45:39.059 --> 00:45:40.599
after that. Because you've got to push off a

00:45:40.599 --> 00:45:42.880
lot. Yeah. You've got to put a lot. You've got

00:45:42.880 --> 00:45:46.039
to go against a lot of weight when you're. And,

00:45:46.039 --> 00:45:48.500
you know, they could put some rods in there too

00:45:48.500 --> 00:45:51.159
probably or something. So, you know, at first

00:45:51.159 --> 00:45:53.179
I was like, oh, shit, that may be it for him.

00:45:53.199 --> 00:45:54.940
But after talking to my boss, who knows a lot

00:45:54.940 --> 00:45:56.760
about football, but I don't blame him for not

00:45:56.760 --> 00:46:01.480
coming on here because, you know, he's like up

00:46:01.480 --> 00:46:04.320
there, you know, and it can be criticized or

00:46:04.320 --> 00:46:06.019
someone could say something. So I understand,

00:46:06.260 --> 00:46:08.320
you know. Yeah, he doesn't want to go on record,

00:46:08.480 --> 00:46:11.219
and I get it. I get it, too. If I had his job,

00:46:11.320 --> 00:46:12.880
I wouldn't either. I'd be like, yeah, I think

00:46:12.880 --> 00:46:15.820
I'll just talk to you about it. How's that? So,

00:46:15.820 --> 00:46:23.119
all right. All right. At this point. So, okay.

00:46:23.199 --> 00:46:25.159
First, we do agree they need a wake -up call.

00:46:25.320 --> 00:46:29.679
And the part of the wake -up call is them staying

00:46:29.679 --> 00:46:34.079
out of the playoffs. Yes. Another thing is Travis

00:46:34.079 --> 00:46:38.159
Kelsey retiring with nothing. Yeah. You know.

00:46:38.759 --> 00:46:41.239
Nothing ending it. Nothing. Well, actually, Super

00:46:41.239 --> 00:46:43.380
Bowl loss and then a team that didn't make it

00:46:43.380 --> 00:46:48.260
to the playoffs. Yeah. Playoffs. Wow. Does that

00:46:48.260 --> 00:46:49.559
really the way you want us to end this career?

00:46:50.059 --> 00:46:52.300
No, I know. I mean, I thought the other players

00:46:52.300 --> 00:46:55.360
would stand up and go, we're not letting him

00:46:55.360 --> 00:46:59.320
end like this. Yeah. Evidently not. But then

00:46:59.320 --> 00:47:01.579
again, we are depleted on defense. They did do

00:47:01.579 --> 00:47:03.239
a lot of draft picks. There are a lot of younger

00:47:03.239 --> 00:47:05.400
people there. They are still learning, and there's

00:47:05.400 --> 00:47:09.019
a lot of people outmatched. Yeah. So, all right.

00:47:09.760 --> 00:47:13.440
At this point, would you draft defense and rely

00:47:13.440 --> 00:47:17.900
on free agency to secure offensive players? I

00:47:17.900 --> 00:47:20.579
thought about that after a while, but go ahead

00:47:20.579 --> 00:47:24.460
first. My first impulse is spend your draft picks

00:47:24.460 --> 00:47:27.960
on O -line and D -line and then everything else

00:47:27.960 --> 00:47:33.210
free agency. But I can see that. being a good

00:47:33.210 --> 00:47:35.809
idea to go the free agency route for the O -line

00:47:35.809 --> 00:47:38.409
because you can get some older, wiser, experienced

00:47:38.409 --> 00:47:39.750
guys. Exactly, that's where I was going with

00:47:39.750 --> 00:47:42.610
that, yes. And we should take a look at who's

00:47:42.610 --> 00:47:45.110
on the practice squad, but you can get them working

00:47:45.110 --> 00:47:47.210
with younger players or fixing some of these

00:47:47.210 --> 00:47:49.710
players. Yeah, I think they already looked at

00:47:49.710 --> 00:47:51.510
the practice squad. I don't think there's anybody

00:47:51.510 --> 00:47:53.769
there. Now, they may be looking at other practice

00:47:53.769 --> 00:47:57.150
squads about poaching, but I don't know. What

00:47:57.150 --> 00:47:58.869
are the rules? Can they get them right now? or

00:47:58.869 --> 00:48:00.949
not from someone else. Yeah, I think you can

00:48:00.949 --> 00:48:03.030
still put them on your roster. Yeah, you have

00:48:03.030 --> 00:48:06.329
to sign them to your active roster. Yeah. But

00:48:06.329 --> 00:48:08.449
you can still poach from their practice squads.

00:48:08.670 --> 00:48:11.949
You know, anybody that was anything like that

00:48:11.949 --> 00:48:13.769
would have been protected as soon as the Chiefs

00:48:13.769 --> 00:48:20.889
were looking. Yeah. So, yeah. Okay. Okay, so

00:48:20.889 --> 00:48:25.530
we agree with that. I think it also widely depends

00:48:25.530 --> 00:48:28.110
on who's out there. Yeah. If there's a mile of

00:48:28.110 --> 00:48:32.449
Garrett dangling, you go for it. Yeah. If it's

00:48:32.449 --> 00:48:34.309
not, how old is he? Wait a minute. I don't know.

00:48:34.409 --> 00:48:40.090
Hang on. I've got to rethink this. He seemingly

00:48:40.090 --> 00:48:44.250
is in the prime of his career, but you always

00:48:44.250 --> 00:48:49.150
have that one magical season before it all starts

00:48:49.150 --> 00:48:52.730
going downhill. Yeah. With or without that nagging

00:48:52.730 --> 00:48:55.130
injury that you never quite recover from. Yes.

00:48:55.130 --> 00:48:57.489
That seems to end a lot of careers. So maybe

00:48:57.489 --> 00:49:00.489
he may not be the route we want to go. Yeah.

00:49:00.590 --> 00:49:02.570
Now, if you want to do something this year, well,

00:49:02.650 --> 00:49:04.510
the trade deadline's gone, so forget it. Yeah.

00:49:04.530 --> 00:49:09.590
So, all right. All right. Should the Chiefs try

00:49:09.590 --> 00:49:13.050
to get a franchise edge rusher? Yes. They need

00:49:13.050 --> 00:49:15.710
someone to opposite Karloftis. Mm -hmm. That

00:49:15.710 --> 00:49:18.829
simple. Yeah. Jones is not getting it done. Amenahu

00:49:18.829 --> 00:49:20.869
is not getting it done. Nobody's getting it done.

00:49:21.070 --> 00:49:24.150
Yeah. They're sending Jones up the middle a lot.

00:49:24.969 --> 00:49:29.610
So, as far as a rusher on the offense's left

00:49:29.610 --> 00:49:34.570
end, you really don't have primo there. You're

00:49:34.570 --> 00:49:37.469
not getting the results out of that position.

00:49:37.690 --> 00:49:40.909
No, you're right. A lot of teams, they'll use

00:49:40.909 --> 00:49:44.269
a linebacker to be the speed rusher on obvious

00:49:44.269 --> 00:49:48.309
passing plays. I've always favored having a dedicated

00:49:48.309 --> 00:49:53.130
pass rusher. Oh, I always have too. Yeah. He's

00:49:53.130 --> 00:49:57.610
a D end, and he's on your right end, their left

00:49:57.610 --> 00:49:59.969
end, and he's coming around and going to clobber

00:49:59.969 --> 00:50:02.190
the quarterback from the blind side. That's kind

00:50:02.190 --> 00:50:04.710
of what you've got to do. Look at T .J. Watt

00:50:04.710 --> 00:50:08.769
or Bosa. I mean, the edge rushers on them, I

00:50:08.769 --> 00:50:12.900
mean. Bosa might have ended Aaron Rodgers' career.

00:50:13.380 --> 00:50:16.239
Ooh, that was a smack. I know Rodgers came back

00:50:16.239 --> 00:50:19.059
in, but you could see the look on his face. He's

00:50:19.059 --> 00:50:21.380
not coming back. I mean, he might come back this

00:50:21.380 --> 00:50:24.800
year, but this is his final NFL season. The look

00:50:24.800 --> 00:50:27.039
on his face when he got fucking mangled was just

00:50:27.039 --> 00:50:31.099
like, I can't do this. Plus the fact that the

00:50:31.099 --> 00:50:33.519
Steelers are fading. Yeah, that's right. They're

00:50:33.519 --> 00:50:35.340
probably not going to make the postseason either.

00:50:36.269 --> 00:50:38.010
Because in that division, if you're not the division

00:50:38.010 --> 00:50:40.329
winner, you're out. Well, there's chantin' fire

00:50:40.329 --> 00:50:44.309
Tomlin now. That's surprising to me, but I guess

00:50:44.309 --> 00:50:46.630
I can see it after so many years. I mean, look,

00:50:46.809 --> 00:50:50.030
like we were talking about in the car, Andy Reid,

00:50:50.230 --> 00:50:53.690
he left Philadelphia and did much better. Yeah.

00:50:53.989 --> 00:50:55.869
Yeah, I think Tomlin can leave there and do better

00:50:55.869 --> 00:50:57.730
too, and I think maybe they can do better with

00:50:57.730 --> 00:51:00.010
someone new. Yeah. You know, after a while you

00:51:00.010 --> 00:51:01.949
get complacent, you get accustomed to everything,

00:51:02.110 --> 00:51:04.090
everything's comfortable. I think he needs to

00:51:04.090 --> 00:51:05.860
get out there on the edge again. They go, all

00:51:05.860 --> 00:51:08.360
right, Mike, you take this shitty team and you

00:51:08.360 --> 00:51:10.420
make him something. I think that's what he's

00:51:10.420 --> 00:51:14.179
built for. Marv Levy got fired in KC. And when

00:51:14.179 --> 00:51:16.739
he got hired in Buffalo, I remember Len Dawson

00:51:16.739 --> 00:51:20.039
being shocked and surprised. Like, what is Buffalo

00:51:20.039 --> 00:51:23.480
thinking? Hiring old wing team Marv Levy. You

00:51:23.480 --> 00:51:25.360
know, the guy's outdated. He's antiquated. The

00:51:25.360 --> 00:51:28.599
wing team was stupid as hell. It was like the

00:51:28.599 --> 00:51:33.179
college offense. Swing and gate. Yeah, yeah.

00:51:33.380 --> 00:51:36.139
It's just like, no, it doesn't work in the NFL.

00:51:36.639 --> 00:51:39.500
But Marvin Levy had great success in Buffalo.

00:51:39.840 --> 00:51:41.780
Yeah, he did, but he didn't do the wing tee like

00:51:41.780 --> 00:51:44.320
he did here. No, no. He had to change. Well,

00:51:44.420 --> 00:51:49.659
he had Jim Kelly. Yeah, yeah. All right, but

00:51:49.659 --> 00:51:52.179
they never did win a Super Bowl. No, they hadn't.

00:51:52.519 --> 00:51:57.519
Wide right. Scott Norwood. On my intro, I was

00:51:57.519 --> 00:51:59.500
talking about the penny being gone after this

00:51:59.500 --> 00:52:03.260
year, right? Yeah. As the penny witnessed President

00:52:03.260 --> 00:52:06.480
Kennedy assassinated, the Civil War, all this

00:52:06.480 --> 00:52:08.679
stuff. The one thing it never witnessed in its

00:52:08.679 --> 00:52:12.480
233 years of existence, Buffalo winning the Super

00:52:12.480 --> 00:52:18.039
Bowl. Cleveland hasn't sniffed one either. They

00:52:18.039 --> 00:52:21.789
haven't even been to a Super Bowl yet. No, no,

00:52:21.829 --> 00:52:25.309
they haven't even been there. But Buffalo, the

00:52:25.309 --> 00:52:28.329
penny's going to go out without witnessing it,

00:52:28.409 --> 00:52:30.789
and here's why. When they end it, it's going

00:52:30.789 --> 00:52:34.230
to be 2026. It's going to be the end of 25. The

00:52:34.230 --> 00:52:37.389
Super Bowl's in 2026. So the penny never got

00:52:37.389 --> 00:52:39.789
to witness it. Even if they win this season,

00:52:40.190 --> 00:52:42.570
the penny will not witness it. The penny is gone.

00:52:42.690 --> 00:52:44.550
And I'm sure the penny does not give one ounce

00:52:44.550 --> 00:52:47.670
of shit either. Yeah. So, all right. And the

00:52:47.670 --> 00:52:50.920
Buffalo head nickel also never saw. That's true.

00:52:51.400 --> 00:52:53.900
It's what is it? Who's on the nickel? I don't

00:52:53.900 --> 00:52:55.300
care who's on the nickel. There used to be a

00:52:55.300 --> 00:52:59.460
Buffalo. Jefferson? Jefferson. Yeah, probably.

00:52:59.900 --> 00:53:03.679
One of them with a damn wig that wanted to prove

00:53:03.679 --> 00:53:06.980
they didn't have syphilis. Yeah. How fucking

00:53:06.980 --> 00:53:13.019
weird. Okay. All right. We traded up several

00:53:13.019 --> 00:53:17.500
times to get an offensive weapon. Should maybe

00:53:17.500 --> 00:53:21.130
it be the defense's turn? Yeah. Yeah. If there's

00:53:21.130 --> 00:53:23.130
someone out there available that is that good,

00:53:23.250 --> 00:53:26.489
you do what you can to get them. Yeah, I like

00:53:26.489 --> 00:53:29.630
the philosophy of best player available. I mean,

00:53:29.630 --> 00:53:31.690
if the best player available is like a fullback,

00:53:31.789 --> 00:53:34.309
then you skip over him because nobody uses fullbacks

00:53:34.309 --> 00:53:37.409
anymore. Exactly. Unless you wind up with eight

00:53:37.409 --> 00:53:39.949
free safeties on your team, then yeah, pick the

00:53:39.949 --> 00:53:41.829
best player available. Let's say you took Brett

00:53:41.829 --> 00:53:46.909
Veach's job. Hey, Topher? Yeah. Okay. We got

00:53:46.909 --> 00:53:53.269
this fullback. What do you think? No. Okay. He'll

00:53:53.269 --> 00:53:56.289
see the field like eight times this season? No.

00:53:57.429 --> 00:54:00.789
He'll be handing out coffees. Yes. Hey, you want

00:54:00.789 --> 00:54:04.130
some Gatorade? You wait for me, punk. So, okay.

00:54:04.650 --> 00:54:06.610
Yeah, I think if there's someone that prominent,

00:54:06.670 --> 00:54:09.110
that good, you do what you can to get them. Patrick

00:54:09.110 --> 00:54:12.610
Bones is 30 years old. Time is ticking. It is.

00:54:12.869 --> 00:54:16.219
He has another 10 years. but probably a little

00:54:16.219 --> 00:54:18.099
bit more than that. But you only have ten years

00:54:18.099 --> 00:54:19.980
to get all this done that you want to get done.

00:54:20.099 --> 00:54:22.019
Yeah. You want to be the greatest player ever.

00:54:22.059 --> 00:54:25.199
You're going to have to start – I mean, it's

00:54:25.199 --> 00:54:27.179
not like he's been doing horrible. I mean, whatever.

00:54:27.500 --> 00:54:30.380
True, but he's not finished yet. No. There's

00:54:30.380 --> 00:54:33.219
a lot of work to be done. The more time you waste,

00:54:33.219 --> 00:54:34.760
the more chance you have of him getting injured

00:54:34.760 --> 00:54:38.480
for a year. All kinds of things happen. Yeah,

00:54:38.719 --> 00:54:41.639
we're lucky that Mahomes has never been injured

00:54:41.639 --> 00:54:45.369
for the year. He's been remarkable. Yeah. Especially

00:54:45.369 --> 00:54:49.070
his injuries like during big games. Like the

00:54:49.070 --> 00:54:53.030
Cleveland game, the division game here, appeared

00:54:53.030 --> 00:54:55.489
to have a concussion. Well, Matt Moore went out

00:54:55.489 --> 00:54:57.250
there and he sealed the game for us, but he was

00:54:57.250 --> 00:55:00.210
back in the Super Bowl to win. Yeah. Okay? And

00:55:00.210 --> 00:55:02.750
he didn't have a concussion. Then you had the

00:55:02.750 --> 00:55:08.349
knee and leg problem during the Super Bowl against

00:55:08.349 --> 00:55:12.039
Philadelphia. and he was in immense pain, screaming

00:55:12.039 --> 00:55:15.219
and wenching. They put in, who was the backup

00:55:15.219 --> 00:55:18.500
at the time? It wasn't Wentz. We didn't have

00:55:18.500 --> 00:55:23.860
him yet. Gabbert? Yeah. Okay. Okay. They put

00:55:23.860 --> 00:55:27.699
in Blaine Gabbert, and Mahomes, no. He got back

00:55:27.699 --> 00:55:30.039
out there. Yep. And I don't even think he limped

00:55:30.039 --> 00:55:33.039
anymore. No, no. He has a remarkable ability

00:55:33.039 --> 00:55:36.440
to either play through pain. or just doesn't

00:55:36.440 --> 00:55:39.019
get hurt that easy. Yeah, yeah. It's like the

00:55:39.019 --> 00:55:41.440
quarterbacks around him get hurt instead of him.

00:55:41.579 --> 00:55:45.239
Yeah. Because Burrow's been hurt a lot. Deshaun

00:55:45.239 --> 00:55:48.820
Watson got clobbered in Cleveland. Yeah, Deshaun,

00:55:48.820 --> 00:55:50.579
who cares? I hope he keeps getting clobbered.

00:55:50.679 --> 00:55:53.519
Oh, I've got it. I've got an analogy about Joe

00:55:53.519 --> 00:55:55.920
Burrow. Please remind me after the bullet points.

00:55:56.099 --> 00:55:59.219
Okay. Because I got an observation about that

00:55:59.219 --> 00:56:03.239
after this last game that he played in. And it's

00:56:03.239 --> 00:56:04.900
glaringly obvious. You know what? I'll do it

00:56:04.900 --> 00:56:07.840
right now and then we'll go back. Okay. Joe Burrow

00:56:07.840 --> 00:56:10.059
should be the MVP. He'll never get it because

00:56:10.059 --> 00:56:12.320
they're a losing team as of right now and probably

00:56:12.320 --> 00:56:15.380
will be. The best they can do is like 9 -8 maybe

00:56:15.380 --> 00:56:20.460
if they win out. Yeah. So, okay. Burrow is MVP

00:56:20.460 --> 00:56:23.500
because that team was in disarray falling apart.

00:56:23.599 --> 00:56:25.820
He comes back and they beat the shit out of Baltimore

00:56:25.820 --> 00:56:30.219
32 -17. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Even the defense stepped

00:56:30.219 --> 00:56:33.019
up. You can tell how important he is to that

00:56:33.019 --> 00:56:35.980
whole team. Yeah. He's everything to that team.

00:56:36.000 --> 00:56:38.619
When he's gone, they're lost. Yeah. Mahomes is

00:56:38.619 --> 00:56:40.000
the same way. Don't get me wrong. I think so.

00:56:40.099 --> 00:56:44.699
Yeah. Josh Allen, not quite so much. Yeah. Their

00:56:44.699 --> 00:56:47.400
scheme provides a lot because I've seen a backup

00:56:47.400 --> 00:56:49.239
in before, and they've done reasonably well.

00:56:49.420 --> 00:56:53.219
Yeah. But Josh Allen, you know, Jalen Hurts.

00:56:53.659 --> 00:56:56.780
That's a good one right there. You put in a –

00:56:56.780 --> 00:56:59.000
oh, shit. Who was their backup last year? And

00:56:59.000 --> 00:57:02.230
they failed miserably. Huntley? Was it Tyler

00:57:02.230 --> 00:57:04.670
Huntley last year? Sounds right. Yeah, now he's

00:57:04.670 --> 00:57:07.730
back with Baltimore, I think. Anyhow, all right.

00:57:11.030 --> 00:57:13.730
All the turds out there that have picked the

00:57:13.730 --> 00:57:16.070
Chiefs' demise for years now, should they get

00:57:16.070 --> 00:57:20.690
credit? No. No. No, you predicted something often

00:57:20.690 --> 00:57:22.530
enough. You're eventually going to get it right.

00:57:22.530 --> 00:57:23.969
You're going to get it right. A broken clock.

00:57:24.929 --> 00:57:27.190
Oh, go ahead. The broken clock is right twice

00:57:27.190 --> 00:57:31.380
a day. Yes. Same thing. Calling for their demise

00:57:31.380 --> 00:57:33.880
for eight years now. You should have shut up

00:57:33.880 --> 00:57:36.380
after the third year and went away. I'm talking

00:57:36.380 --> 00:57:38.980
about the idiots like Craig Carton and Skip Tard

00:57:38.980 --> 00:57:42.000
Ballas and all those guys that they just feed

00:57:42.000 --> 00:57:46.480
off of motherfucking the Chiefs. That's all they

00:57:46.480 --> 00:57:50.019
do. Their shtick is to try to ridicule and belittle

00:57:50.019 --> 00:57:52.300
the Chiefs. And the funny thing is they don't

00:57:52.300 --> 00:57:54.320
even understand what they're doing. They're so

00:57:54.320 --> 00:57:56.239
jealous. They don't even understand what they're

00:57:56.239 --> 00:57:58.639
doing. It's become instinct because they're so

00:57:58.639 --> 00:58:00.860
insecure, in my opinion. They'll get a lot of

00:58:00.860 --> 00:58:03.000
support from the people who dislike the Chiefs.

00:58:03.000 --> 00:58:05.800
They'll get a lot of angry calls from the people

00:58:05.800 --> 00:58:07.099
who do like the Chiefs. There's a lot of cats

00:58:07.099 --> 00:58:10.820
on the back. So it's, you know, guarantees somebody

00:58:10.820 --> 00:58:12.800
will pay attention to them for a while. They're

00:58:12.800 --> 00:58:15.320
both what I call little penis syndrome. Yes.

00:58:15.500 --> 00:58:18.739
Small penis syndrome. So you can look it up.

00:58:18.980 --> 00:58:22.780
So this is my opinion. SPS. Yes. I think they

00:58:22.780 --> 00:58:24.719
both have thimble dicks and they're mad as hell.

00:58:24.860 --> 00:58:29.989
Yeah. Packing a gherkin. A little mushroom top.

00:58:30.230 --> 00:58:34.610
Hung like a hummingbird. Which is really bad

00:58:34.610 --> 00:58:37.190
because birds don't have penises. Oh, yeah, that's

00:58:37.190 --> 00:58:39.250
right. All right. Then that's what they are.

00:58:39.949 --> 00:58:41.889
They've got a flat smoothie. They're Ken dolls.

00:58:42.070 --> 00:58:47.050
Yes, they are. All right. All right. The next

00:58:47.050 --> 00:58:49.190
one. If the Chiefs somehow get a miracle gift

00:58:49.190 --> 00:58:51.730
and make the playoffs, would you take that or

00:58:51.730 --> 00:58:54.170
would you let it bleed to address the problems?

00:58:54.570 --> 00:58:56.909
Which one would you have if you could? If you

00:58:56.909 --> 00:59:01.289
can do it right now. If they were going to get

00:59:01.289 --> 00:59:05.070
a playoff game, then I would see them get stomped

00:59:05.070 --> 00:59:07.030
and humiliated just to drive the point home.

00:59:07.090 --> 00:59:11.070
No, you're not. You've got work to do. Quit looking

00:59:11.070 --> 00:59:12.869
for the silver lining because there isn't one.

00:59:13.570 --> 00:59:16.289
I thought of that, but I'm going the other way.

00:59:16.369 --> 00:59:19.269
I think that them going to the playoffs and getting

00:59:19.269 --> 00:59:22.050
smashed in the first round would be more humiliating

00:59:22.050 --> 00:59:25.690
than just not making it. To them. Yeah, probably

00:59:25.690 --> 00:59:28.670
so. Probably so. I think I would rather make

00:59:28.670 --> 00:59:31.750
it and just let the cards fall where they will,

00:59:31.849 --> 00:59:34.469
which we probably know where they would fall.

00:59:34.630 --> 00:59:38.030
Yeah. That would kill off any lingering thought

00:59:38.030 --> 00:59:39.869
of, man, if we had just made it to the playoffs,

00:59:40.050 --> 00:59:43.269
we would have been great. Yes. Yes. That's what

00:59:43.269 --> 00:59:44.929
I'm saying. Okay, you've convinced me. All right.

00:59:45.070 --> 00:59:50.039
All right. And then finally. Does FanDuel DraftKings

00:59:50.039 --> 00:59:52.599
and such need to do their own investigation into

00:59:52.599 --> 00:59:55.179
the crooked refs, or are they in cahoots with

00:59:55.179 --> 00:59:58.800
them? Allegedly. Yeah, I think allegedly. They

00:59:58.800 --> 01:00:01.400
are very much on board with it because they would

01:00:01.400 --> 01:00:03.840
have done something about it already. If it's

01:00:03.840 --> 01:00:06.420
costing them even one penny a week, they would

01:00:06.420 --> 01:00:09.059
have done something about it already. So I think

01:00:09.059 --> 01:00:11.219
they're absolutely fine with it. They've got

01:00:11.219 --> 01:00:13.260
their bases covered. They know it. They know

01:00:13.260 --> 01:00:17.980
everything. You probably got something you want

01:00:17.980 --> 01:00:20.559
to go into? Yeah, yeah. I remember last week

01:00:20.559 --> 01:00:22.619
I was trying to come up with the name of a draft

01:00:22.619 --> 01:00:26.059
pick bust by the Green Bay Packers. It was Tony

01:00:26.059 --> 01:00:30.010
Mandarich. Yes. Remember him? Mm -hmm. Steroid.

01:00:30.590 --> 01:00:33.510
He was basically an illusion created by smoke

01:00:33.510 --> 01:00:35.809
and steroids. People get him mixed up with Todd

01:00:35.809 --> 01:00:38.289
Marinovich. Yes. Marinovich was the red -haired

01:00:38.289 --> 01:00:41.329
kid that, well, basically Marty Schottenheimer,

01:00:41.369 --> 01:00:43.809
Derek Thomas, and Neil Smith destroyed him. Yes.

01:00:43.889 --> 01:00:46.130
They put him in in a playoff game. Never played

01:00:46.130 --> 01:00:48.610
a game ever before. And he hated football. His

01:00:48.610 --> 01:00:50.909
dad made him. But anyhow, go ahead with your...

01:00:50.909 --> 01:00:53.530
But Tony Mandrich, I remember being on the cover

01:00:53.530 --> 01:00:57.289
of the sports magazines and the draft. and, you

01:00:57.289 --> 01:01:00.550
know, he was eating it up. And then he was just

01:01:00.550 --> 01:01:02.929
nothing. I mean, he couldn't play, and he kept

01:01:02.929 --> 01:01:06.070
getting injured, and everybody was piling on

01:01:06.070 --> 01:01:09.929
him left and right. And eventually he said himself

01:01:09.929 --> 01:01:12.190
in a press conference, look, it's not my fault

01:01:12.190 --> 01:01:14.650
they picked me first. I had no control over that.

01:01:14.710 --> 01:01:17.590
I am what I am. They're the ones who made me

01:01:17.590 --> 01:01:20.750
number one pick. That was almost probably as

01:01:20.750 --> 01:01:25.300
famous as, damn it. Who was the quarterback that

01:01:25.300 --> 01:01:29.099
went to San Diego Chargers at the time? Eli Manning.

01:01:29.460 --> 01:01:33.719
No, no, no, the other one. Ryan Leaf? Leaf, yeah,

01:01:33.840 --> 01:01:36.280
yeah. And where he's in the locker room and they're

01:01:36.280 --> 01:01:37.940
questioning him, he's like, stop it, quit it.

01:01:38.059 --> 01:01:40.420
Shut up, just get out of here, man. Yeah, yeah,

01:01:40.460 --> 01:01:44.599
that was like one of those blowout moments where

01:01:44.599 --> 01:01:46.920
they're like they had never come back from that.

01:01:47.019 --> 01:01:49.989
Yeah, it was a very honest outburst. It just

01:01:49.989 --> 01:01:51.849
doesn't fit in with NFL culture. No, people are

01:01:51.849 --> 01:01:54.070
like, well, why is he even here? Yeah. Why is

01:01:54.070 --> 01:01:56.269
he even here? Yeah. And that's pretty much what

01:01:56.269 --> 01:02:00.710
happened. Next thing I want to talk about is

01:02:00.710 --> 01:02:04.050
Giants rookie linebacker Abdul Carter. Okay.

01:02:04.289 --> 01:02:07.809
Has been benched for the start of the game in

01:02:07.809 --> 01:02:10.889
two of the last three games. Now, three games

01:02:10.889 --> 01:02:16.130
ago, he was benched for the opening series, and

01:02:16.130 --> 01:02:18.909
the team made some sort of excuse about, you

01:02:18.909 --> 01:02:22.920
know, It was an administrative thing, conduct

01:02:22.920 --> 01:02:25.059
that, damn it, hurt the team, blah, blah. He

01:02:25.059 --> 01:02:27.940
overslept, basically. Okay. He overslept, and

01:02:27.940 --> 01:02:30.159
they covered for it. I've got something for you

01:02:30.159 --> 01:02:32.320
right here. Yeah? That's two different head coaches.

01:02:33.039 --> 01:02:36.380
Yeah. Yeah. So something's going on. Both of

01:02:36.380 --> 01:02:39.039
them are in agreement on that. Yep, because for

01:02:39.039 --> 01:02:43.079
this most recent game, he was also benched for

01:02:43.079 --> 01:02:46.079
the first couple of series. Yeah, the game against...

01:02:46.079 --> 01:02:48.260
The Patriots. Yeah, the Patriots, yeah. And the

01:02:48.260 --> 01:02:51.400
Giants gave up a field goal on their first drive,

01:02:51.440 --> 01:02:53.260
and maybe he would have been able to help prevent

01:02:53.260 --> 01:02:55.099
that. He's a guy they might want to go after.

01:02:55.179 --> 01:02:58.980
No. Now this time, the unofficial word is that

01:02:58.980 --> 01:03:02.500
he decided he was just going to skip the walkthrough

01:03:02.500 --> 01:03:05.039
before the game. Just didn't want to do it. These

01:03:05.039 --> 01:03:07.539
problems waiting to happen. It's only a matter

01:03:07.539 --> 01:03:10.400
of time until he just doesn't show up. In my

01:03:10.400 --> 01:03:14.070
opinion. Rookie, high draft pick. And he just

01:03:14.070 --> 01:03:16.570
doesn't give a crap about being in the NFL to

01:03:16.570 --> 01:03:19.170
the point where he'll actually do his job. That's

01:03:19.170 --> 01:03:21.329
kind of scary. I mean, if this is the kind of

01:03:21.329 --> 01:03:24.130
attitude that the players are coming in with

01:03:24.130 --> 01:03:26.869
to, I mean, even if 30 % are coming into the

01:03:26.869 --> 01:03:28.530
league with the attitude of, I don't care, I'll

01:03:28.530 --> 01:03:31.010
do something else, NFL's really going to suffer.

01:03:31.090 --> 01:03:33.170
I mean, the quality of play we're used to is

01:03:33.170 --> 01:03:35.869
going to go bye -bye. Well, I mean, it really

01:03:35.869 --> 01:03:38.329
has, especially it's showed up in special teams

01:03:38.329 --> 01:03:40.829
more than anything. Yeah, that's true. It used

01:03:40.829 --> 01:03:43.030
to be, man, do good on special teams so you can

01:03:43.030 --> 01:03:45.389
make the roster. Now guys are like, hey, I'll

01:03:45.389 --> 01:03:46.969
just be a special teamer for my whole career.

01:03:47.070 --> 01:03:49.130
I don't care. Yeah, yeah, long snapper, whatever.

01:03:49.829 --> 01:03:53.170
Kendall Gammon, how long was he our long snapper?

01:03:53.170 --> 01:03:55.929
It seems like he's been there since like the

01:03:55.929 --> 01:03:58.150
30s. Yeah. Well, the Chiefs weren't around then.

01:03:59.369 --> 01:04:01.469
He's like he's grandfathered in when they came

01:04:01.469 --> 01:04:05.070
over from Texas. Yeah. I'm saying we need you

01:04:05.070 --> 01:04:12.210
to take, just say his fucking name. Kendall Gammon.

01:04:12.230 --> 01:04:16.190
Kendall Gammon, yeah. Okay. All right. Go ahead.

01:04:16.849 --> 01:04:19.650
Adam Thielen, wide receiver for the Vikings.

01:04:20.389 --> 01:04:23.750
He said this is his last year, and he has now

01:04:23.750 --> 01:04:26.480
asked the team to release him. Because he wants

01:04:26.480 --> 01:04:28.579
to sign with a team that has a realistic chance

01:04:28.579 --> 01:04:30.280
of making the playoffs and going into the Super

01:04:30.280 --> 01:04:32.320
Bowl. I wonder if he would consider the Chiefs.

01:04:32.320 --> 01:04:35.039
I wonder so too, but he has been released. The

01:04:35.039 --> 01:04:39.460
pedigree is there for the Chiefs and also him,

01:04:39.619 --> 01:04:42.960
good player. Yeah. I don't know if they have

01:04:42.960 --> 01:04:45.920
to clear waivers or if there's anything else

01:04:45.920 --> 01:04:47.719
in there or whether he can just sign with whoever

01:04:47.719 --> 01:04:50.699
he wants because apparently they gave him a release.

01:04:51.989 --> 01:04:54.949
Okay. I'm not going to do it now, but I'm going

01:04:54.949 --> 01:04:57.409
to look that up and try to figure that out. That's

01:04:57.409 --> 01:04:59.010
interesting. I didn't realize that happened.

01:04:59.269 --> 01:05:02.849
Yeah. Who else is, like, pissed off and wanting

01:05:02.849 --> 01:05:05.130
to leave from the Vikings? There's someone else,

01:05:05.210 --> 01:05:07.969
too. Oh, yeah. That was early in the season.

01:05:08.030 --> 01:05:10.690
Yeah, yeah. It was one of the receivers, I believe.

01:05:11.510 --> 01:05:15.889
Jefferson. Yeah. Yeah. I don't blame him. I don't

01:05:15.889 --> 01:05:19.269
blame him at all. They have been completely screwing

01:05:19.269 --> 01:05:25.030
up. Everything they've been doing. Yeah. I'm

01:05:25.030 --> 01:05:27.349
sorry, I have to reply to my wife. Oh, no, no,

01:05:27.389 --> 01:05:29.929
no. You reply to Cindy. We don't need her coming

01:05:29.929 --> 01:05:31.789
down here and putting a boot in your ass. Yeah.

01:05:32.969 --> 01:05:35.570
And mine, because I was an accomplice. We've

01:05:35.570 --> 01:05:37.849
got a ring doorbell, so she saw me leave without

01:05:37.849 --> 01:05:42.090
a hat on. So she texted me, what, no hat? But

01:05:42.090 --> 01:05:44.250
I have one. It's right here on the table. Sounds

01:05:44.250 --> 01:05:46.150
about like Val. I just don't need it right now,

01:05:46.210 --> 01:05:48.719
but I have one. Val made me go put my boots on

01:05:48.719 --> 01:05:51.940
in case we hit a ditch. Oh, yeah. So, okay. I

01:05:51.940 --> 01:05:59.380
did. I didn't argue. So, let's see. Oh, here's

01:05:59.380 --> 01:06:02.480
three more things I've got. Excellent. Union

01:06:02.480 --> 01:06:05.480
High School in Virginia. You heard about this?

01:06:05.539 --> 01:06:07.599
Their head coach disappeared. He just walked

01:06:07.599 --> 01:06:12.960
away. No. And at first it was a story about a

01:06:12.960 --> 01:06:16.289
missing adult. He was not a senior, so it's not

01:06:16.289 --> 01:06:18.030
a silver alert, but it's like, hey, this guy's

01:06:18.030 --> 01:06:19.650
missing. He just kind of walked away from his

01:06:19.650 --> 01:06:22.130
home. Like Urban Meyer did in Jacksonville? Yeah,

01:06:22.130 --> 01:06:23.789
something like that. He stayed in Indiana with

01:06:23.789 --> 01:06:26.789
some young chick or something? Well, this unfortunately

01:06:26.789 --> 01:06:31.469
is a really ugly version of that. Oh, I was just

01:06:31.469 --> 01:06:35.269
joking. No, no. Please go ahead. Since his disappearance,

01:06:35.690 --> 01:06:39.750
the school and the local police department have

01:06:39.750 --> 01:06:43.360
said they found numerous... instance of child

01:06:43.360 --> 01:06:46.619
pornography on his computer, and he's been using

01:06:46.619 --> 01:06:49.360
his computer to solicit sex from minors. Okay,

01:06:49.440 --> 01:06:52.679
first off, Urban Meyer, all that stuff was allegedly

01:06:52.679 --> 01:06:54.840
that went on, and I'm not even connecting him

01:06:54.840 --> 01:06:57.780
to this at all. So go ahead. Yeah, Mark, he didn't

01:06:57.780 --> 01:06:59.960
know. Mark didn't know where this was going,

01:07:00.059 --> 01:07:04.900
so yeah. Now his wife is admitting that when

01:07:04.900 --> 01:07:06.880
he left the house, he had a firearm with him.

01:07:07.500 --> 01:07:10.800
Oh. So I think he's out there and shot himself

01:07:10.800 --> 01:07:12.300
in the woods somewhere. And they're going to

01:07:12.300 --> 01:07:13.699
find him dead. They're going to find his body.

01:07:14.059 --> 01:07:17.440
But the interesting part is his team keeps winning

01:07:17.440 --> 01:07:20.679
without him. And he had nothing to do with it.

01:07:20.719 --> 01:07:22.960
Yeah, apparently so. So, I mean, good on the

01:07:22.960 --> 01:07:25.880
team for keeping going and, you know, keep those

01:07:25.880 --> 01:07:28.780
kids playing, et cetera, et cetera. And their

01:07:28.780 --> 01:07:31.019
scumbag of a head coach has nothing to do with

01:07:31.019 --> 01:07:34.070
them. Was there any rhythmic slapping? That we

01:07:34.070 --> 01:07:37.570
know of in the locker room. Are you familiar

01:07:37.570 --> 01:07:42.409
with that? I have an idea, but... That was of

01:07:42.409 --> 01:07:45.889
the Penn State Sandusky. Sandusky, yeah. One

01:07:45.889 --> 01:07:49.389
of the testimony was, did you actually see him,

01:07:49.409 --> 01:07:52.889
you know, butt -fucking one of the kids? I heard

01:07:52.889 --> 01:07:56.409
rhythmatic slapping or something like that. Like

01:07:56.409 --> 01:07:58.769
the sound of Satan clapping his hands, basically.

01:07:59.070 --> 01:08:04.980
Yes. Yeah. Yeah, that was – I'm so glad that

01:08:04.980 --> 01:08:07.119
they took down Joe Paterno's statue because he

01:08:07.119 --> 01:08:09.639
knew it. They put it back up. They did? It's

01:08:09.639 --> 01:08:12.139
back up. Yeah, I know. It's bullshit. He knew

01:08:12.139 --> 01:08:15.079
it. He enabled it. He benefited from it. He didn't

01:08:15.079 --> 01:08:20.539
want to – okay. Not my fish to fry. No, you know

01:08:20.539 --> 01:08:25.020
what? I agree with you 100%. And, you know, you

01:08:25.020 --> 01:08:27.680
can blame the school, in my opinion, Penn State,

01:08:27.880 --> 01:08:30.560
for letting it happen. Yep. I'm sorry. I mean,

01:08:30.579 --> 01:08:32.600
to me, it seems to me like why would you let

01:08:32.600 --> 01:08:36.699
the statue stand at all in all these accusations

01:08:36.699 --> 01:08:39.539
for years? Why would you let that go on? I guess

01:08:39.539 --> 01:08:41.920
if you've settled all the lawsuits and you just

01:08:41.920 --> 01:08:43.960
want to pretend it never happened, then you just

01:08:43.960 --> 01:08:47.739
do that. If I was a betting man, which I'm not

01:08:47.739 --> 01:08:51.979
anymore on football, that'd be the way I see

01:08:51.979 --> 01:08:56.359
it. So, yeah. Well, it doesn't sound like there's

01:08:56.359 --> 01:08:59.359
rhythmic slapping there, so that's good. But

01:08:59.359 --> 01:09:01.819
it sounds to me like one creep took himself off

01:09:01.819 --> 01:09:04.579
the world, and that's fine with me. Yeah, puts

01:09:04.579 --> 01:09:08.539
me in mind of a postal supervisor I had who was

01:09:08.539 --> 01:09:12.020
arrested and handcuffed on the workroom floor

01:09:12.020 --> 01:09:14.380
of the post office and taken out, along with

01:09:14.380 --> 01:09:17.060
a couple of computers, because he was soliciting

01:09:17.060 --> 01:09:19.260
sex from what he thought was a minor, but was

01:09:19.260 --> 01:09:21.859
actually a sheriff's... Oh, that old gag! Yeah.

01:09:23.130 --> 01:09:25.510
But, yeah, he did his time, had to register on

01:09:25.510 --> 01:09:27.869
the sex offender list and all that. So that's

01:09:27.869 --> 01:09:29.649
kind of the first thing I thought of when I saw

01:09:29.649 --> 01:09:31.810
this coach. Who was that old white -haired guy

01:09:31.810 --> 01:09:34.510
that looked like he's 100 ,000 years old that

01:09:34.510 --> 01:09:41.289
used to do that to catch a predator? I can't

01:09:41.289 --> 01:09:44.170
remember his name. Shit, I can't either. Chris

01:09:44.170 --> 01:09:47.029
Hansen, I remember, was the host, but he didn't

01:09:47.029 --> 01:09:49.430
have white hair. No, there's another guy that

01:09:49.430 --> 01:09:53.319
used to do it. Yeah. Anyhow, but it's funny because

01:09:53.319 --> 01:09:55.659
they try to get out and go, well, it says right

01:09:55.659 --> 01:09:59.319
here in the transcripts. And you brought a six

01:09:59.319 --> 01:10:02.119
-pack of beer and condoms. You say you're just

01:10:02.119 --> 01:10:04.079
coming here to talk? I remember that one, too.

01:10:04.260 --> 01:10:05.979
And you said you're just coming here to talk.

01:10:07.920 --> 01:10:10.420
Man, I wonder how many of them. And then all

01:10:10.420 --> 01:10:12.220
that ended when the creep went and shot himself

01:10:12.220 --> 01:10:14.460
in the bushes, and I think that's what happened.

01:10:14.600 --> 01:10:16.319
And they're like, we can't have a creep killing

01:10:16.319 --> 01:10:18.399
himself. And I'm like, yeah, yeah, do that more.

01:10:18.579 --> 01:10:20.670
Yeah, we don't have to feed him. They're off

01:10:20.670 --> 01:10:22.689
this earth. Great. It's his own choice. There

01:10:22.689 --> 01:10:25.729
we go. Yeah. Yep. Well, speaking of law enforcement,

01:10:25.909 --> 01:10:28.989
remember how I've been saying that I keep wanting

01:10:28.989 --> 01:10:31.550
somebody to actually get criminal charges filed

01:10:31.550 --> 01:10:33.949
against them for like a late hit? Yeah, I do

01:10:33.949 --> 01:10:37.810
too. Well, it might happen. Really? Jacksonville

01:10:37.810 --> 01:10:41.449
Jaguars punter Logan Cook threatened to murder

01:10:41.449 --> 01:10:44.289
Tennessee running back Julius Chestnut during

01:10:44.289 --> 01:10:48.130
the game on the field of play. Straight up threatened

01:10:48.130 --> 01:10:50.029
to have him murdered. Number one, a punter can

01:10:50.029 --> 01:10:51.989
never do that to a regular player. That's true.

01:10:52.130 --> 01:10:54.210
He's just a kicker. They should have, like, picked

01:10:54.210 --> 01:10:56.329
him up and, like, threw him in an ice bath or

01:10:56.329 --> 01:10:59.189
something. You stay there until you know your

01:10:59.189 --> 01:11:03.010
role, bitch. You kick the ball only. Get out

01:11:03.010 --> 01:11:06.729
of here. Now, the Jacksonville Jaguars coach

01:11:06.729 --> 01:11:08.989
says, oh, it's no big deal. I hear players say

01:11:08.989 --> 01:11:11.449
that stuff all the time. But this is a golden

01:11:11.449 --> 01:11:14.409
opportunity here. This is the division rival,

01:11:14.670 --> 01:11:17.149
Tennessee to Jacksonville. they can take away

01:11:17.149 --> 01:11:19.829
their starting punter by filing charges and having

01:11:19.829 --> 01:11:22.909
them arrested. Now, the league probably won't

01:11:22.909 --> 01:11:25.149
step in and do anything until the legal part

01:11:25.149 --> 01:11:30.250
happens, but you can throw a real kink into Jacksonville's

01:11:30.250 --> 01:11:33.529
team by having their punter arrested for threatening

01:11:33.529 --> 01:11:36.090
to murder somebody. I love the idea, but I've

01:11:36.090 --> 01:11:38.029
also seen Jacksonville's schedule, and I'm kind

01:11:38.029 --> 01:11:39.409
of wondering if they're going to make it now.

01:11:39.449 --> 01:11:41.989
Yeah, they've got a tough schedule. And Trevor

01:11:41.989 --> 01:11:44.590
Lawrence, I know we made him look good. Yeah.

01:11:44.989 --> 01:11:46.770
Not very many other teams have made him look

01:11:46.770 --> 01:11:49.229
that good. No, he's just not really what we think

01:11:49.229 --> 01:11:52.329
he is. Yeah, well, I never did. Dennis Green.

01:11:52.430 --> 01:11:54.350
They are who we thought we are. Yeah, that's

01:11:54.350 --> 01:11:57.930
true. Let him off the hook. And he never got

01:11:57.930 --> 01:12:00.189
another head coaching job ever. No, he didn't.

01:12:00.229 --> 01:12:02.270
Yeah. Primarily because he couldn't keep his

01:12:02.270 --> 01:12:03.750
self -control in front of the cameras. Yeah,

01:12:03.789 --> 01:12:07.659
I think he held McCray to himself. Yeah, yeah,

01:12:07.659 --> 01:12:13.159
yeah. Throwing shit and screaming. The only problem

01:12:13.159 --> 01:12:15.779
is the news cameras forgot to edit out the vodka

01:12:15.779 --> 01:12:20.760
bottle in the corner. Yes. And the giant dildo

01:12:20.760 --> 01:12:25.560
hanging off the wall. Allegedly. Allegedly. One

01:12:25.560 --> 01:12:30.520
last thing. In the offseason, the NFL sold the

01:12:30.520 --> 01:12:35.119
right to the term red zone to ESPN. Oh, because

01:12:35.119 --> 01:12:37.020
they have that red zone coverage deal. Yeah,

01:12:37.020 --> 01:12:40.479
they have NFO red zone channel. I kind of like

01:12:40.479 --> 01:12:43.760
that. I like it because I found out on my TV

01:12:43.760 --> 01:12:46.659
you can zoom in on one of them if you want. So

01:12:46.659 --> 01:12:47.939
if you see a player or something, you're like,

01:12:48.039 --> 01:12:49.619
oh, hey, they just switched to the Philadelphia

01:12:49.619 --> 01:12:54.140
-San Francisco game. It's like, oh, shit, man,

01:12:54.220 --> 01:12:57.000
do you see McCaffrey? Hey, you can zoom in on

01:12:57.000 --> 01:12:58.300
it when they're showing the replay and stuff

01:12:58.300 --> 01:13:02.439
like that. I guess they might as well. They've

01:13:02.439 --> 01:13:05.479
been using it anyhow. And, I mean, I don't suppose

01:13:05.479 --> 01:13:07.520
they could stop them from using it, really. Well,

01:13:07.579 --> 01:13:11.979
I think the NFL is, they sold the rights to ESPN,

01:13:12.020 --> 01:13:15.899
but they are now paying a license fee to use

01:13:15.899 --> 01:13:22.420
the name still. It's like selling your company.

01:13:22.720 --> 01:13:25.199
That's a tax thing. Like where they tell you

01:13:25.199 --> 01:13:28.060
to quit owning the building. Yeah. You've got

01:13:28.060 --> 01:13:30.119
to start renting. Well, I own the building. No.

01:13:30.619 --> 01:13:32.279
You've got to have something to take off your

01:13:32.279 --> 01:13:36.529
taxes. Anyway, okay, so we have the IranFL Red

01:13:36.529 --> 01:13:39.069
Zone channel. Now, from the beginning, it was

01:13:39.069 --> 01:13:42.409
sold to consumers as an ad -free channel showing

01:13:42.409 --> 01:13:45.630
all the scoring drives and plays of all the games.

01:13:45.810 --> 01:13:48.409
And it's generally a seven -hour show throughout

01:13:48.409 --> 01:13:54.829
the course of a Sunday. Yeah. Now they're showing

01:13:54.829 --> 01:13:59.090
ads. They're showing 16 ads during a seven -hour

01:13:59.090 --> 01:14:01.430
stretch. That's about two ads per hour. Uh -huh.

01:14:02.220 --> 01:14:04.920
but you still have to pay that subscription fee,

01:14:05.020 --> 01:14:07.819
which you paid to not get ads. The same bullshit.

01:14:07.819 --> 01:14:09.859
Now they're giving ads anyway. The same bullshit.

01:14:11.060 --> 01:14:12.939
We'll never do ads, and then all of a sudden

01:14:12.939 --> 01:14:18.399
you get ads. The problem is people don't care.

01:14:18.479 --> 01:14:20.619
If they cared, they'd stop. Right. All it takes

01:14:20.619 --> 01:14:22.220
is enough people to say, well, this is bullshit,

01:14:22.340 --> 01:14:24.420
and cancel those subscriptions, and they won't

01:14:24.420 --> 01:14:27.180
do it anymore. But obviously enough people to

01:14:27.180 --> 01:14:29.560
say, eh, whatever. I don't care. Let them go

01:14:29.560 --> 01:14:31.880
ahead and get me. So the rest of us get dragged

01:14:31.880 --> 01:14:33.600
along with them. It's just like credit cards.

01:14:33.779 --> 01:14:35.600
How many subscriptions are on there that you

01:14:35.600 --> 01:14:38.829
forgot about? I mean, not you specifically. Yeah,

01:14:38.829 --> 01:14:40.109
I know what you're talking about. Yeah, there's

01:14:40.109 --> 01:14:42.550
probably a hundred of them. I don't know where

01:14:42.550 --> 01:14:44.289
all these charges came from. Because people don't

01:14:44.289 --> 01:14:46.970
look. No one balances their checkbook anymore.

01:14:47.369 --> 01:14:52.149
No, no, no. Anyway, so they interrupt the broadcast

01:14:52.149 --> 01:14:55.770
for these advertisements. See, that pisses me

01:14:55.770 --> 01:14:57.909
off, too. They'll take the regular screen and

01:14:57.909 --> 01:15:00.189
they'll shrink it down to a small box in the

01:15:00.189 --> 01:15:03.229
corner and cut the audio. Is this the red zone?

01:15:03.470 --> 01:15:07.359
Yes. And then they'll bring up a big, a larger

01:15:07.359 --> 01:15:09.359
box in the middle of the screen with the advertise

01:15:09.359 --> 01:15:11.920
in it. And then around the edges they'll have

01:15:11.920 --> 01:15:14.300
advertising banners. Yeah, I saw that at work

01:15:14.300 --> 01:15:16.180
and that pissed me the fuck off. Yeah, I remember

01:15:16.180 --> 01:15:20.300
it. So you're not only paying for the NFL Red

01:15:20.300 --> 01:15:22.800
Zone and paying to have a commercial free, now

01:15:22.800 --> 01:15:24.760
they're giving you commercials and the content

01:15:24.760 --> 01:15:27.439
you paid for, they're shrinking it down to something

01:15:27.439 --> 01:15:29.479
so small you can't see it and you can't hear

01:15:29.479 --> 01:15:33.220
it while they run their ad. I'd never buy that,

01:15:33.260 --> 01:15:37.819
but there's enough stupid people. Wow. And they

01:15:37.819 --> 01:15:41.859
have said more ads to come. They said this is

01:15:41.859 --> 01:15:44.319
the beginning. There are going to be more. I'd

01:15:44.319 --> 01:15:47.380
be calling up my credit card because everything

01:15:47.380 --> 01:15:49.859
is so hard to cancel anymore. Just call up your

01:15:49.859 --> 01:15:52.000
credit card and tell them I'm disputing these

01:15:52.000 --> 01:15:54.800
charges. I don't want them anymore, and I can't

01:15:54.800 --> 01:15:58.260
figure out a way to cancel. Now, I've seen other

01:15:58.260 --> 01:16:02.720
TV shows do something similar. Like back when

01:16:02.720 --> 01:16:06.840
Paramount Network was getting all the Star Trek

01:16:06.840 --> 01:16:11.180
rights and starting a new Star Trek series, the

01:16:11.180 --> 01:16:14.819
premiere episode was put on broadcast TV. And

01:16:14.819 --> 01:16:17.680
then they said, okay, from now on you have to

01:16:17.680 --> 01:16:19.920
get Paramount Plus streaming service to see all

01:16:19.920 --> 01:16:22.180
the rest of the episodes. So it was a come on.

01:16:22.279 --> 01:16:23.899
It was like, okay, it's going to be subscription,

01:16:24.199 --> 01:16:26.979
but they told you up front. And I chose to not

01:16:26.979 --> 01:16:29.239
watch that initial episode because I wasn't going

01:16:29.239 --> 01:16:32.779
to subscribe and I didn't care. Last night I

01:16:32.779 --> 01:16:35.779
was watching a show called The Pit. It's a new...

01:16:35.779 --> 01:16:38.279
I'm familiar with it. I haven't watched it yet,

01:16:38.319 --> 01:16:40.520
but it looks interesting. Yeah, I liked it. I

01:16:40.520 --> 01:16:42.539
won't tell you anything about it, but I think

01:16:42.539 --> 01:16:44.960
it's good. It's interesting. I'm going to check

01:16:44.960 --> 01:16:48.340
into it. It's about an ER in Pittsburgh, and

01:16:48.340 --> 01:16:52.020
Noah Wiley's in it. But the first six episodes

01:16:52.020 --> 01:16:54.180
are available. I mean, they showed three last

01:16:54.180 --> 01:16:55.800
night, and they're going to show three more.

01:16:56.159 --> 01:16:59.060
But then after that, subscription to HBO Max.

01:17:00.750 --> 01:17:03.630
At least they tell you up front. Here's some

01:17:03.630 --> 01:17:06.970
for, you know, well, sort of free because they

01:17:06.970 --> 01:17:08.949
had ad breaks. You can tell it's a show that's

01:17:08.949 --> 01:17:10.789
not supposed to have ad breaks because they had

01:17:10.789 --> 01:17:12.510
to just chop right the middle of a scene to have

01:17:12.510 --> 01:17:15.130
an ad break. And they had to bleep out all the

01:17:15.130 --> 01:17:18.550
cussing. So you can tell it's made for a streaming

01:17:18.550 --> 01:17:21.130
service. Oh, yeah. Did you see where Netflix

01:17:21.130 --> 01:17:23.289
is a little bit different but in the same line?

01:17:23.489 --> 01:17:26.520
Netflix crashed. Thanksgiving Day because the

01:17:26.520 --> 01:17:29.119
Stranger Things final season came out. Oh, my

01:17:29.119 --> 01:17:32.039
gosh. And everybody, you know, they didn't do

01:17:32.039 --> 01:17:34.380
the night before when it came out, the night

01:17:34.380 --> 01:17:37.239
before Thanksgiving. Everyone decided, hey, let's

01:17:37.239 --> 01:17:38.819
wait until tomorrow. No one will be watching

01:17:38.819 --> 01:17:47.460
it. No. Everybody was. Yep. Anyhow. So who knows

01:17:47.460 --> 01:17:49.460
what's going to happen with NFL Red Zone, but

01:17:49.460 --> 01:17:51.739
what I believe is going to happen is it will

01:17:51.739 --> 01:17:55.130
soon be flooded with ads. Constant ads, never

01:17:55.130 --> 01:17:57.069
-ending ads, and enough people are going to keep

01:17:57.069 --> 01:17:58.670
subscribing. That's enough for me not to order

01:17:58.670 --> 01:18:00.930
it. Yeah, I think enough people will that it'll

01:18:00.930 --> 01:18:03.210
still be a thing. They will because people are

01:18:03.210 --> 01:18:05.470
stupid. They're sheep. Standards are so low.

01:18:05.770 --> 01:18:08.689
People treat you the way you let them treat you.

01:18:08.770 --> 01:18:12.289
Well, on the douchebags, I have this segment

01:18:12.289 --> 01:18:15.890
where I say people are sheep, and I have a great

01:18:15.890 --> 01:18:18.949
example. The KCI, the Kansas City International

01:18:18.949 --> 01:18:22.369
Guest Pass. oh yeah you gotta pay like 35 bucks

01:18:22.369 --> 01:18:25.409
to go pay three times the price of a meal you

01:18:25.409 --> 01:18:28.810
can get somewhere else mitch beat barbecue you

01:18:28.810 --> 01:18:30.630
can go to overland park and get it much cheaper

01:18:30.630 --> 01:18:33.890
yeah it's so ridiculous yes city market coffee

01:18:33.890 --> 01:18:36.689
right here they have one there much cheaper here

01:18:36.689 --> 01:18:39.489
but people will talk themselves into it being

01:18:39.489 --> 01:18:41.989
a special experience just because they had to

01:18:41.989 --> 01:18:44.050
pay more for let's go watch people happy because

01:18:44.050 --> 01:18:46.430
they're leaving And be unhappy because we're

01:18:46.430 --> 01:18:49.170
not. And eat a very expensive meal and then leave

01:18:49.170 --> 01:18:51.810
dejected. That sounds great. And then pay astronomical

01:18:51.810 --> 01:18:56.689
parking in between. Remember when the real ID

01:18:56.689 --> 01:19:00.130
driver's licenses were announced? Yeah. You're

01:19:00.130 --> 01:19:04.149
not going to be able to do anything. Boy, you're

01:19:04.149 --> 01:19:06.670
going to get one right now. Son of a bitch. You

01:19:06.670 --> 01:19:08.750
can't fly. You can't do this. You've got to bring

01:19:08.750 --> 01:19:14.010
all that extra stuff with you. Well, I saw a

01:19:15.180 --> 01:19:18.079
article yesterday saying that people who don't

01:19:18.079 --> 01:19:20.720
have the real ID, now that the deadline has come

01:19:20.720 --> 01:19:22.579
and gone, it's like, oh yeah, you can still fly.

01:19:22.720 --> 01:19:27.020
It's just an extra $18 charge. That's it. That's

01:19:27.020 --> 01:19:29.560
it? When they came out, it was like, well, this

01:19:29.560 --> 01:19:31.979
is for enhanced security, so you really know

01:19:31.979 --> 01:19:34.500
who's on the plane with you. Now it's just, eh,

01:19:34.619 --> 01:19:38.119
$18 charge. That's like going to a gun store

01:19:38.119 --> 01:19:40.119
to buy a gun, and instead of doing a background

01:19:40.119 --> 01:19:43.180
check, you just give them an extra $50. Which

01:19:43.180 --> 01:19:45.619
happens under the table, but imagine that being

01:19:45.619 --> 01:19:48.779
absolutely okay with the government. I got two

01:19:48.779 --> 01:19:54.260
names that happens, right? Yeah, I know a couple

01:19:54.260 --> 01:19:57.119
of unscrupulous dealers that you come in there,

01:19:57.220 --> 01:19:59.560
I think a 12 -year -old could walk in there for

01:19:59.560 --> 01:20:03.640
50 bucks and get something. Or, you know, DUI

01:20:03.640 --> 01:20:05.859
checkpoint. Pull a guy out of the car, and he's

01:20:05.859 --> 01:20:09.520
wasted. But, hey, I'll spend $350 and put it

01:20:09.520 --> 01:20:12.020
into the policeman's charity, and I'll just get

01:20:12.020 --> 01:20:14.779
a pass here. Yeah. That's kind of the same attitude.

01:20:15.659 --> 01:20:18.420
We don't care if you're safe, as long as the

01:20:18.420 --> 01:20:20.720
money's coming in. I got one for you about the

01:20:20.720 --> 01:20:24.159
slightly different, but along the same lines,

01:20:24.199 --> 01:20:28.820
policeman charity. Yeah. You know the... What

01:20:28.820 --> 01:20:31.279
is it? Is it the Policeman's Retirement Fund

01:20:31.279 --> 01:20:32.859
or something like that that they used to call

01:20:32.859 --> 01:20:35.340
and badger people about? Okay, and I used to

01:20:35.340 --> 01:20:37.960
give to it. But whenever anyone calls you on

01:20:37.960 --> 01:20:40.760
the phone, right? I don't believe it. Do you?

01:20:40.920 --> 01:20:43.859
No. No, the guy is trying to argue with me. He

01:20:43.859 --> 01:20:46.220
goes, no, no, no, this is real. And I go, no.

01:20:46.579 --> 01:20:49.970
I said, if you want me to do it. Send me something

01:20:49.970 --> 01:20:52.229
in the mail, and I'll make my decision then.

01:20:52.250 --> 01:20:54.229
But I'm not doing a fucking thing over the phone.

01:20:54.270 --> 01:20:56.550
He acted like I was an asshole. Yeah, yeah, I

01:20:56.550 --> 01:20:58.409
always tell those people. To me, you're just

01:20:58.409 --> 01:21:00.310
a voice on the phone. You can say you're anybody

01:21:00.310 --> 01:21:03.130
or anything, and I have no idea. So I'm not telling

01:21:03.130 --> 01:21:05.069
you anything. Yeah, and I forgot what they call

01:21:05.069 --> 01:21:07.329
it. There's a specific name. If I said it, you'd

01:21:07.329 --> 01:21:09.369
go, oh, yeah, yeah, I remember them. Policeman's

01:21:09.369 --> 01:21:11.189
Benevolence Fund or something. Something, yeah,

01:21:11.329 --> 01:21:13.609
yeah. The one I always got was for state troopers

01:21:13.609 --> 01:21:17.510
to help with the children and the families of

01:21:17.510 --> 01:21:19.609
troopers. who died in the line of duty. Yeah,

01:21:19.609 --> 01:21:21.789
and you see, I agree with that, but not over

01:21:21.789 --> 01:21:24.029
the phone. Yeah. Not over the phone. And I tried

01:21:24.029 --> 01:21:25.470
to explain it to this guy, and he was getting

01:21:25.470 --> 01:21:28.909
mad at me. And I'm like, no. I go, listen, first

01:21:28.909 --> 01:21:31.189
of all, if you're getting mad at me, and I was

01:21:31.189 --> 01:21:33.649
going to do it, I'm not now. Yeah. Second off,

01:21:33.789 --> 01:21:36.329
no. I told him, I said, well, why don't you give

01:21:36.329 --> 01:21:38.609
me your information? Oh, I don't know you. Okay,

01:21:38.670 --> 01:21:43.489
then. Uh -huh. So, anyhow. All right. Go ahead.

01:21:43.529 --> 01:21:46.850
I'm sorry. I've just got a few general... Information

01:21:46.850 --> 01:21:49.270
things that don't have to do with sports. Okay.

01:21:51.189 --> 01:21:53.489
Interesting thing I read about this morning was

01:21:53.489 --> 01:22:00.210
the third phase of the Internet is upon us. And

01:22:00.210 --> 01:22:02.270
I didn't even know there were phases, but apparently

01:22:02.270 --> 01:22:04.149
there are. I didn't know there were phases either.

01:22:04.270 --> 01:22:06.609
The first phase of the Internet was to connect

01:22:06.609 --> 01:22:10.050
up all the computers. That's been done. Yep.

01:22:10.350 --> 01:22:13.229
Second phase of the Internet is to connect ordinary

01:22:13.229 --> 01:22:16.289
devices, like your thermostat, your speakers,

01:22:16.489 --> 01:22:18.829
your lights. Everything's Bluetooth. That's been

01:22:18.829 --> 01:22:21.869
done. My shoes are Bluetooth. Yeah, yeah. No,

01:22:21.869 --> 01:22:24.229
not really. My glasses are Bluetooth. Yeah, my

01:22:24.229 --> 01:22:27.029
nose is Bluetooth. My tooth is Bluetooth. My

01:22:27.029 --> 01:22:30.470
asshole is Bluetooth. Anyhow, I'm sorry. Now,

01:22:30.529 --> 01:22:34.149
third phase of the Internet is connect our bodies.

01:22:35.659 --> 01:22:37.819
And this is happening. So my asshole would be

01:22:37.819 --> 01:22:40.060
Bluetooth. Your asshole would. Well, what they're

01:22:40.060 --> 01:22:44.079
doing is there is technology currently available

01:22:44.079 --> 01:22:48.500
of micro sensors that can be injected into a

01:22:48.500 --> 01:22:51.539
person's body. And they will communicate with

01:22:51.539 --> 01:22:54.119
the computer somewhere and tell that computer

01:22:54.119 --> 01:22:55.859
everything that's happening inside your body.

01:22:56.960 --> 01:23:00.020
Supposedly, this is for health reasons, to help

01:23:00.020 --> 01:23:02.899
diagnose illnesses or catch a heart attack. No,

01:23:03.100 --> 01:23:06.470
no. This is for marketing. This is for control

01:23:06.470 --> 01:23:09.550
and manipulation. They'll let you put those things

01:23:09.550 --> 01:23:12.829
in your body. Who knows what they do? No, I know.

01:23:12.970 --> 01:23:15.289
Yeah. Yeah, no, no, no, no, no. No, thank you.

01:23:15.310 --> 01:23:17.810
Because then someone else will buy the information

01:23:17.810 --> 01:23:20.649
just like I did on the DNA store. Ancestry .com.

01:23:20.689 --> 01:23:22.890
Yeah. Yeah, and then you don't know who has it.

01:23:22.890 --> 01:23:24.890
23andMe, whichever it was. Yeah. Yeah, 23andMe,

01:23:24.970 --> 01:23:27.090
I think. Well, whoever it was is one of them.

01:23:27.109 --> 01:23:31.449
Yeah. Plus, somebody could hack that and suddenly

01:23:31.449 --> 01:23:32.289
screw your body up. Well, I'm pissed because

01:23:32.289 --> 01:23:33.810
I have relatives do that. So now. Yeah, I had

01:23:33.810 --> 01:23:36.829
my sister. did it with one of those, so now they

01:23:36.829 --> 01:23:39.350
have very close to my information too. Yeah,

01:23:39.350 --> 01:23:41.729
it pisses me off because all that shit was sold

01:23:41.729 --> 01:23:45.449
and I don't know who to, but oh well. So anyway,

01:23:45.869 --> 01:23:48.649
third phase of the internet is here. Wiring up

01:23:48.649 --> 01:23:51.609
our bodies so our bodies are constantly connected.

01:23:52.489 --> 01:23:55.149
Well, this is the same thing as the KCI guest

01:23:55.149 --> 01:23:57.630
pass. We will run out and do it just because

01:23:57.630 --> 01:24:00.329
it's... I want to be an early adopter. I want

01:24:00.329 --> 01:24:02.569
to be the first one. I want to be able to brag

01:24:02.569 --> 01:24:04.909
about it. It's the people who went out and paid

01:24:04.909 --> 01:24:08.630
the monumental cost for those VR goggles when

01:24:08.630 --> 01:24:10.989
they first came out. Yeah. And when VR was just

01:24:10.989 --> 01:24:13.729
absolute shit. Oh, yeah. You had bragging rights.

01:24:14.090 --> 01:24:16.829
Yeah. Now nobody gives a shit about them. Really.

01:24:19.010 --> 01:24:24.369
Okay. Let's save that one for last. And I've

01:24:24.369 --> 01:24:27.590
got a bunch of other things, too, but I want

01:24:27.590 --> 01:24:29.449
to save them for the music creeps because I don't

01:24:29.449 --> 01:24:32.229
have a whole lot for the music creeps. I mean,

01:24:32.289 --> 01:24:34.829
I'm just running out of shit to say. All right.

01:24:34.909 --> 01:24:37.029
But I have some stories, at least. So, anyhow,

01:24:37.109 --> 01:24:41.149
go ahead. Well, these are both about China, as

01:24:41.149 --> 01:24:43.750
it turns out. The first one is China has now

01:24:43.750 --> 01:24:48.029
demonstrated how a flock of drones can block

01:24:48.029 --> 01:24:52.939
satellite surveillance. They sent up a big cluster

01:24:52.939 --> 01:24:56.720
of about 2 ,000 drones and disrupted the Starlink

01:24:56.720 --> 01:24:59.260
satellite network to where nobody could see what

01:24:59.260 --> 01:25:02.680
was going on. Oh, wow. So you could blind the

01:25:02.680 --> 01:25:10.000
eye in the sky with drones. Hey, Elon Musk better

01:25:10.000 --> 01:25:13.420
not piss the Chinese off. They blocked Starlink.

01:25:13.770 --> 01:25:16.130
Oh, wow. They shut it down. It's like they can't

01:25:16.130 --> 01:25:17.649
see anything that's here. There's some people

01:25:17.649 --> 01:25:19.850
on top of the mountain very pissed off. Yeah.

01:25:20.449 --> 01:25:23.689
Hey, where's that route out to get out of here?

01:25:23.789 --> 01:25:27.649
I don't know. I can't get anything. Now, the

01:25:27.649 --> 01:25:30.569
interesting part here is the story that I saved

01:25:30.569 --> 01:25:33.350
for last. This is one that I saw like a week

01:25:33.350 --> 01:25:39.130
ago. Satellite images of China, the ones they're

01:25:39.130 --> 01:25:42.720
trying to block, showed China is... They're holding

01:25:42.720 --> 01:25:45.939
drills and practicing for an amphibious invasion

01:25:45.939 --> 01:25:50.760
with landing craft, troops, support air, everything.

01:25:51.060 --> 01:25:53.460
Okay, now who are they thinking is going to be

01:25:53.460 --> 01:25:58.119
an amphibious invader, I wonder? They're going

01:25:58.119 --> 01:26:01.260
to invade Hong Kong. Oh, that's why. They looked

01:26:01.260 --> 01:26:04.000
at the landing craft, and they can see things

01:26:04.000 --> 01:26:06.100
about the landing craft and the way things were

01:26:06.100 --> 01:26:09.550
done that specifically makes it. hong kong and

01:26:09.550 --> 01:26:11.310
that's something that we have to get involved

01:26:11.310 --> 01:26:14.170
in yeah the hong kong deal you cannot let that

01:26:14.170 --> 01:26:17.630
go but but what a perfect setup here they deploy

01:26:17.630 --> 01:26:20.569
their drones to block the satellite signal then

01:26:20.569 --> 01:26:23.449
they they shut down internet and phone and then

01:26:23.449 --> 01:26:25.729
they invade hong kong and by the time anyone

01:26:25.729 --> 01:26:28.409
knows what's going on it's been 12 14 hours and

01:26:28.409 --> 01:26:32.329
china's got it well okay that's when you got

01:26:32.329 --> 01:26:35.640
to find a counter A counter. Yeah. Now, is there

01:26:35.640 --> 01:26:37.500
something that you can put in the sky that'll

01:26:37.500 --> 01:26:40.000
disable the drones? I bet you there is. Well,

01:26:40.119 --> 01:26:42.960
about the best thing is just look with visible

01:26:42.960 --> 01:26:45.100
light. Watch it craft right into them. A man

01:26:45.100 --> 01:26:47.560
craft right into them and just explode them all.

01:26:47.779 --> 01:26:50.279
Well, they spread them out over a huge area.

01:26:51.600 --> 01:26:54.399
There's a way to do it. Yeah. But still, if there's

01:26:54.399 --> 01:26:57.489
visible light, just look in visible light. You

01:26:57.489 --> 01:27:00.529
know, it's like you can block your aircraft from

01:27:00.529 --> 01:27:02.449
being seen on the enemy's radar, but you can

01:27:02.449 --> 01:27:04.210
still walk outside and look at it with your eyeballs

01:27:04.210 --> 01:27:07.229
because it's right there. Yeah. So do that instead

01:27:07.229 --> 01:27:09.989
of relying on all the electronic technology that's

01:27:09.989 --> 01:27:13.050
getting blocked is just send up an optical satellite

01:27:13.050 --> 01:27:15.670
that actually looks down with an eyeball and

01:27:15.670 --> 01:27:17.750
says, okay, this is what I see. And you see,

01:27:17.869 --> 01:27:21.489
this is something I learned over time is they

01:27:21.489 --> 01:27:24.270
already have defenses for the offenses that they

01:27:24.270 --> 01:27:26.029
came up with. They're just not telling you about

01:27:26.029 --> 01:27:29.739
it. Yeah. You know, it's just the way it is.

01:27:30.060 --> 01:27:33.399
Each side has spies, and some of them are successful,

01:27:33.720 --> 01:27:36.279
some of them are not. They find out this information,

01:27:36.460 --> 01:27:39.359
and they counter it before it begins. So, yeah,

01:27:39.439 --> 01:27:42.199
this is a bad thing, but we're going to have

01:27:42.199 --> 01:27:44.739
to see what happens because Hong Kong is one

01:27:44.739 --> 01:27:46.920
of those areas that you cannot just let go. No.

01:27:47.579 --> 01:27:49.899
There's a lot of money in Hong Kong. Oh, yeah.

01:27:49.979 --> 01:27:52.500
That would destroy the world economy right there

01:27:52.500 --> 01:27:56.739
alone. I mean, Hong Kong is just, yeah. All right,

01:27:56.800 --> 01:27:59.180
you got any more? I think I'm pretty well tapped

01:27:59.180 --> 01:28:02.000
out here. Okay. Well, I've got some games. I

01:28:02.000 --> 01:28:06.319
know we weren't on the NFL. Yeah, I've got three

01:28:06.319 --> 01:28:08.460
more things for Music Creeps. Oh, okay. Oh, for

01:28:08.460 --> 01:28:11.039
Music Creeps. Yeah. Okay. I still have a couple

01:28:11.039 --> 01:28:16.119
of things for the games coming up. Oh, yeah.

01:28:16.180 --> 01:28:18.619
The ones with playoff implications, possibly,

01:28:18.619 --> 01:28:20.920
are the only ones where the other ones, like

01:28:20.920 --> 01:28:22.920
the Titans against the Panthers. Well, actually,

01:28:23.000 --> 01:28:24.479
the Panthers might even be in it now. Well, that's

01:28:24.479 --> 01:28:28.119
true. They are. Okay. Well, the Titans against

01:28:28.119 --> 01:28:30.079
the Browns. But that's not exactly the contested

01:28:30.079 --> 01:28:32.180
game. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Okay. We're not worried

01:28:32.180 --> 01:28:34.500
about that game. No. Okay, if they were playing

01:28:34.500 --> 01:28:37.060
each other. All right. The Thursday night game

01:28:37.060 --> 01:28:41.560
starts off week 14. This will be the Cowboys

01:28:41.560 --> 01:28:44.500
versus the Lions. The Cowboys are ascending.

01:28:44.500 --> 01:28:47.460
The Lions are descending. Yes, hard. But it's

01:28:47.460 --> 01:28:50.239
in Detroit. It'll help. And it's a Thursday standalone

01:28:50.239 --> 01:28:53.420
game. I think that that's going to be enough

01:28:53.420 --> 01:28:56.699
to beat the Cowboys and settle them down a little

01:28:56.699 --> 01:28:59.699
bit, get them off their high horse. It helps

01:28:59.699 --> 01:29:02.100
that this is the Cowboys' second Thursday night

01:29:02.100 --> 01:29:04.960
game in a row, or Thursday game in a row, not

01:29:04.960 --> 01:29:07.140
Thursday night. Thursday day, yeah. Now, I remember

01:29:07.140 --> 01:29:09.439
the Raiders petitioned the league to say, we

01:29:09.439 --> 01:29:11.479
want to have more than one Thursday night football

01:29:11.479 --> 01:29:14.250
game in a season. And the NFL is saying, no,

01:29:14.449 --> 01:29:17.189
just one per team. That way we run through everybody.

01:29:18.130 --> 01:29:22.029
But through technicality, the game against the

01:29:22.029 --> 01:29:24.750
Chiefs was during the day Thursday. Their next

01:29:24.750 --> 01:29:27.170
one is during the night Thursday. So it's not

01:29:27.170 --> 01:29:29.529
a conflict. They find ways around it. And also,

01:29:29.630 --> 01:29:34.390
I think a lot of it is, you know, they got Al

01:29:34.390 --> 01:29:37.970
Michaels who's getting older too. I think a lot

01:29:37.970 --> 01:29:39.729
of the games they're looking at, they're trying

01:29:39.729 --> 01:29:41.609
to find more regional games to where he doesn't

01:29:41.609 --> 01:29:45.569
have to travel as far. I've noticed that. Whether

01:29:45.569 --> 01:29:48.229
I'm right or wrong on that, I don't know. I've

01:29:48.229 --> 01:29:52.390
known of tours for professional musicians, bands,

01:29:52.689 --> 01:29:56.789
etc., that the whole tour itinerary was built

01:29:56.789 --> 01:29:58.810
around the fact that they weren't going to get

01:29:58.810 --> 01:30:03.289
on an airplane. They just weren't. Wherever we're

01:30:03.289 --> 01:30:05.090
going next, make sure we can drive there in one

01:30:05.090 --> 01:30:08.430
night. Richie Blackmore does tours, but he can't

01:30:08.430 --> 01:30:10.350
get on a plane. He's had three or four heart

01:30:10.350 --> 01:30:13.630
attacks, and I think quadruple bypass, something

01:30:13.630 --> 01:30:15.750
like that. He had a hell of a lot of surgeries,

01:30:15.810 --> 01:30:19.270
a lot of problems. So he's 80, you know, so he's

01:30:19.270 --> 01:30:21.989
going to. And John Madden. Oh, John Madden used

01:30:21.989 --> 01:30:23.930
to travel by bus. He traveled by bus. Remember,

01:30:24.069 --> 01:30:25.609
there was a big thing, the bus, and he put the

01:30:25.609 --> 01:30:27.909
pictures on the bus and all that stuff. There

01:30:27.909 --> 01:30:31.390
was a game that they did either in Hawaii or

01:30:31.390 --> 01:30:34.899
somewhere else. Pat Summerall had somebody else

01:30:34.899 --> 01:30:36.779
because Madden said, nope, I'm not flying. I

01:30:36.779 --> 01:30:39.420
had to when I was a head coach because that's

01:30:39.420 --> 01:30:40.979
what the boss said I had to do. But right now,

01:30:41.060 --> 01:30:42.640
uh -uh, I'm not getting on an airplane no matter

01:30:42.640 --> 01:30:44.560
what. Yeah, I remember. So they just did the

01:30:44.560 --> 01:30:46.560
game without him. And they was like, well, our

01:30:46.560 --> 01:30:48.579
friend John Madden is here because he doesn't

01:30:48.579 --> 01:30:51.180
want to fly. So it was like no big deal. We were

01:30:51.180 --> 01:30:52.840
like, okay, that's John Madden. He can do it.

01:30:53.000 --> 01:30:57.680
Yep. So, yeah, Richie Blackmore, he does – well,

01:30:57.760 --> 01:31:02.180
he actually canceled his last tour because of

01:31:02.180 --> 01:31:05.680
– back issues or something. I forgot. Some sort

01:31:05.680 --> 01:31:08.619
of issues and he couldn't fulfill it with his

01:31:08.619 --> 01:31:11.720
band Blackmore Night. They do Celtic music with

01:31:11.720 --> 01:31:16.720
his wife and some other people. So, anyhow, yeah,

01:31:16.819 --> 01:31:19.539
the whole thing about the limited tours, they're

01:31:19.539 --> 01:31:22.279
more popular now than ever before because they're

01:31:22.279 --> 01:31:24.560
low budget, they're cheap. You use the people's

01:31:24.560 --> 01:31:27.840
equipments there. Yeah, and I think that's a

01:31:27.840 --> 01:31:31.279
win -win. Because the performing artist is easier

01:31:31.279 --> 01:31:34.100
on them and gets them out more often. So we,

01:31:34.180 --> 01:31:36.140
as the public who buys the tickets and goes to

01:31:36.140 --> 01:31:38.479
the show, we have more opportunities. There's

01:31:38.479 --> 01:31:40.699
probably a less expensive ticket because of smaller

01:31:40.699 --> 01:31:45.539
venues. Like George Thorogood, he's got a tour

01:31:45.539 --> 01:31:48.500
going on, but it's just California, Fort Wayne,

01:31:48.560 --> 01:31:52.239
Indiana, and Canada. One stop in Canada, I think.

01:31:52.300 --> 01:31:55.699
And it's like, what? Right now, small tours like

01:31:55.699 --> 01:31:58.949
that aren't really worth it. The kind of graft

01:31:58.949 --> 01:32:01.090
and skimming that usually goes on on the big

01:32:01.090 --> 01:32:03.250
high -dollar tours. I think that's why they do

01:32:03.250 --> 01:32:07.210
it. But once the big tours go away, they'll find

01:32:07.210 --> 01:32:10.449
this group of small regional tours, and they'll

01:32:10.449 --> 01:32:13.010
say, ah, start paying us. And they kind of really

01:32:13.010 --> 01:32:15.449
are, unless it's a festival. They kind of really

01:32:15.449 --> 01:32:19.090
are. All right, the next one. Oh, who do you

01:32:19.090 --> 01:32:22.789
think is going to win, Cowboys or Lions? I'm

01:32:22.789 --> 01:32:24.229
going with the Lions. I think it's going to be

01:32:24.229 --> 01:32:25.689
a tough win, but I think they're going to pull

01:32:25.689 --> 01:32:30.130
it out. I'll go with the Cowboys. I hope you're

01:32:30.130 --> 01:32:31.689
right. I'd love to just see that, even though

01:32:31.689 --> 01:32:34.409
I hate the Cowboys. Yeah. I want to see Dan Campbell

01:32:34.409 --> 01:32:38.949
stroke out on the sideline. I'm that guy. I want

01:32:38.949 --> 01:32:41.729
to see him just burning up light on the ground

01:32:41.729 --> 01:32:44.489
while people grab him and resuscitate him. Yeah,

01:32:44.510 --> 01:32:48.409
it's tough to want the Cowboys to win, but I

01:32:48.409 --> 01:32:51.279
think the Lions aren't. what they think they

01:32:51.279 --> 01:32:52.899
are, and they need to learn that. And I love

01:32:52.899 --> 01:32:58.340
that. Get down, little boy. Get down. Real men

01:32:58.340 --> 01:33:00.640
are playing here. Go sit down. Yep. Well, he

01:33:00.640 --> 01:33:02.579
has Jared Goff, so right there they ought to

01:33:02.579 --> 01:33:08.340
give him seven points. Yeah. All right. Sunday,

01:33:08.640 --> 01:33:14.319
December 7th, high noon. Colts versus Jags. Colts.

01:33:14.600 --> 01:33:18.039
Yeah. The Colts lost two in a row. They're snapping

01:33:18.039 --> 01:33:21.239
pissed. Yeah. And the Jags are the Jags. Yeah.

01:33:21.300 --> 01:33:23.479
That defense there is going to harass Trevor

01:33:23.479 --> 01:33:24.979
Lawrence, and Trevor Lawrence is going to do

01:33:24.979 --> 01:33:28.579
stupid shit. Yeah. Yeah. And I think. Taylor's

01:33:28.579 --> 01:33:30.899
going to be able to run for the Colts on the

01:33:30.899 --> 01:33:32.100
Jags defense. Yeah, Jonathan Taylor's going to

01:33:32.100 --> 01:33:35.199
go berserk on him. Yeah. Yeah, basically he's

01:33:35.199 --> 01:33:36.680
going to beat him over the head with his penis.

01:33:36.880 --> 01:33:39.000
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, he's going to go, hey, come

01:33:39.000 --> 01:33:41.579
here. Bam. That's it. This ain't the football,

01:33:41.720 --> 01:33:47.100
man. That's the tip of my dick. You won. You

01:33:47.100 --> 01:33:50.640
won. I'm out of here. It's got laces on it and

01:33:50.640 --> 01:33:52.779
everything. Like Lyndon B. Johnson, they used

01:33:52.779 --> 01:33:54.319
to say, whenever he wanted to win an argument,

01:33:54.439 --> 01:33:57.859
he'd flip out his enormous penis, it would hit

01:33:57.859 --> 01:33:59.500
the table and shake the table, and everyone would

01:33:59.500 --> 01:34:03.579
go, all right, he won. Meeting adjourned. Do

01:34:03.579 --> 01:34:06.340
what? Milton Berle proportions. Yeah, yeah, Milton

01:34:06.340 --> 01:34:08.800
Berle was pissed, though. He did not want that

01:34:08.800 --> 01:34:11.420
information out. When people asked him, he was

01:34:11.420 --> 01:34:14.430
just like, stop, stop. Yeah, he was embarrassed.

01:34:14.729 --> 01:34:18.069
Frank Sinatra, apparently, was hung like a horse,

01:34:18.090 --> 01:34:20.149
and he had to have his pants specially tailored

01:34:20.149 --> 01:34:24.569
to hide it hanging down his leg. Yep. What a

01:34:24.569 --> 01:34:27.890
horrible problem to have. Jeez, that poor guy.

01:34:28.149 --> 01:34:32.670
Yeah, oh. I think he was the one that they originally

01:34:32.670 --> 01:34:36.810
coined the phrase the vanilla gorilla. Oh, my

01:34:36.810 --> 01:34:40.199
God. That's pretty good. And then I think I forgot

01:34:40.199 --> 01:34:43.619
who is it now. Anyhow, it doesn't matter. Huey

01:34:43.619 --> 01:34:46.260
Lewis. Oh, yeah, him too, supposedly, according

01:34:46.260 --> 01:34:50.140
to Pamela DeMarn. One of the groupies that did

01:34:50.140 --> 01:34:52.600
the plaster caster stuff. Sweet, sweet, got it.

01:34:52.840 --> 01:34:55.220
I mean, yeah, and makeup for his looks. That's

01:34:55.220 --> 01:34:57.859
true. All right. He's like, hey, I don't need

01:34:57.859 --> 01:35:01.960
looks. Look at this. All right, you won. Huey.

01:35:02.460 --> 01:35:04.800
All right, let's see. What a name, though. Huey.

01:35:05.060 --> 01:35:08.359
Huey Jam. What a goof. All right, Sunday, December

01:35:08.359 --> 01:35:12.199
7th, high noon, Steelers versus Ravens. This

01:35:12.199 --> 01:35:13.979
one's a tough one because both teams are playing

01:35:13.979 --> 01:35:17.560
horrible. Yeah, yeah, both are angry. This is

01:35:17.560 --> 01:35:19.779
traditionally a really good rivalry because the

01:35:19.779 --> 01:35:22.479
Ravens are the ex -Browns. They hated each other

01:35:22.479 --> 01:35:23.539
when they were the Browns. I'm going to look

01:35:23.539 --> 01:35:25.659
at the standings, but this may be one of those

01:35:25.659 --> 01:35:28.100
games like kind of playoff implication deal.

01:35:28.279 --> 01:35:30.699
Oh, wait, I did put it down on here. Yeah, because

01:35:30.699 --> 01:35:33.659
the Ravens and Steelers swapped places for division.

01:35:34.700 --> 01:35:37.619
when Pittsburgh lost. So now if Pittsburgh wins,

01:35:37.800 --> 01:35:40.539
they'll get it back. Yeah, that's right. I'm

01:35:40.539 --> 01:35:44.199
going with Pittsburgh because they played well

01:35:44.199 --> 01:35:47.600
here and there, and where I see Baltimore just

01:35:47.600 --> 01:35:50.100
looking like they're flushable. Yeah, they've

01:35:50.100 --> 01:35:53.000
been that way all season. They've had a few games

01:35:53.000 --> 01:35:55.340
where they look good or parts during other games

01:35:55.340 --> 01:35:57.819
where they look good, but the Steelers had a

01:35:57.819 --> 01:36:00.399
big run of like, they were like 5 -1 at one point,

01:36:00.420 --> 01:36:04.699
something like that. So I know the Steelers have

01:36:04.699 --> 01:36:07.220
it in them. I think they're going to stomp. Oh,

01:36:07.279 --> 01:36:09.060
I think so too. Lamar Jackson's going to get

01:36:09.060 --> 01:36:12.420
hit hard. Yeah. And Travis Henry is not the same

01:36:12.420 --> 01:36:15.760
anymore. They can say whatever, but he's just

01:36:15.760 --> 01:36:19.300
not putting up the numbers. He looks slow. He

01:36:19.300 --> 01:36:22.659
looks like he doesn't know. He used to not worry

01:36:22.659 --> 01:36:24.539
about the line developing. He just ran everybody

01:36:24.539 --> 01:36:26.979
over. Yeah. Now he's not really that capable

01:36:26.979 --> 01:36:29.560
of it. He's stopping at picking. Yes. And it's

01:36:29.560 --> 01:36:32.640
just not working very well. All right, the next

01:36:32.640 --> 01:36:35.539
one. So we both agree the Ravens. Is that it?

01:36:35.800 --> 01:36:38.319
I pick the Steelers. Oh, I mean the Steelers.

01:36:38.319 --> 01:36:42.899
I'm sorry. I pick the Steelers also. This one

01:36:42.899 --> 01:36:47.420
I really love. Bears versus Packers. Yeah. This

01:36:47.420 --> 01:36:49.380
game right here, I think, is going to be a nut

01:36:49.380 --> 01:36:51.520
-tugger all the way down to the last second,

01:36:51.600 --> 01:36:54.659
possibly into overtime. Let's hope they have

01:36:54.659 --> 01:36:57.960
some sort of weather, like maybe some snow. Oh,

01:36:57.979 --> 01:36:59.760
I hope so. That would be cool. Oh, that would

01:36:59.760 --> 01:37:02.760
be great. Yeah. I want to see like Caleb Williams

01:37:02.760 --> 01:37:06.359
walk up to Jordan Love with a snowball and smash

01:37:06.359 --> 01:37:11.739
him right in the face with it. And then when

01:37:11.739 --> 01:37:13.880
Jordan Love looks at him like, why'd you do that?

01:37:13.979 --> 01:37:16.619
He sticks his finger right on his nose and says,

01:37:16.699 --> 01:37:21.560
that's what. And I want Jordan Love to take his

01:37:21.560 --> 01:37:25.500
shoe off and beat him with it. Yes, yeah. Then

01:37:25.500 --> 01:37:28.340
they can give each other wedgies. Yes, yes. And

01:37:28.340 --> 01:37:33.539
air. Oh, Wet Willie. Wet Willie? Yeah. And Indian

01:37:33.539 --> 01:37:36.399
Sunburns. Yes. Yes. Oh, those were the worst.

01:37:36.720 --> 01:37:39.180
Oh, my God. I remember getting held down and

01:37:39.180 --> 01:37:41.279
giving the old fucking knuckle rub on the head.

01:37:41.319 --> 01:37:43.699
Oh, my God. That sucks. It's like... Boogies.

01:37:43.960 --> 01:37:47.060
Oh, yep. Bastards. I think I'm going to go with

01:37:47.060 --> 01:37:49.539
Chicago over Green Bay on that one. I think they're

01:37:49.539 --> 01:37:51.479
riding high and they're... I'm going Green Bay.

01:37:51.619 --> 01:37:54.319
Oh, cool. All right. Here, let's mark this down.

01:37:54.399 --> 01:37:57.609
Okay. Okay, you're going Chicago? I know they're

01:37:57.609 --> 01:37:59.670
playing well, but I just have a feeling that

01:37:59.670 --> 01:38:01.909
Green Bay is going to make it interesting. Yeah,

01:38:02.050 --> 01:38:04.229
the first one is Cowboys, then Pittsburgh, and

01:38:04.229 --> 01:38:10.710
then Chicago. You might write it down, too, because

01:38:10.710 --> 01:38:16.149
I've been known to lose stuff a lot. So we'll

01:38:16.149 --> 01:38:26.560
have two transcripts of it and see. That's so

01:38:26.560 --> 01:38:37.140
Raven. And then bears over. Pack. All right.

01:38:41.539 --> 01:38:44.039
Okay, everything else we agreed on. So, all right,

01:38:44.039 --> 01:38:48.279
this next one, Texans versus Chiefs at Arrowhead.

01:38:48.899 --> 01:38:51.579
Texans play them tough, and they've got a hell

01:38:51.579 --> 01:38:53.800
of a defense. I'm going with Texans. I think

01:38:53.800 --> 01:38:56.659
so, too. I hate doing it, but. Yeah. I don't

01:38:56.659 --> 01:39:00.720
think – I don't know that the Chiefs can really

01:39:00.720 --> 01:39:03.439
put together a full game at this point. They

01:39:03.439 --> 01:39:03.680
haven't shown me this season. And it's going

01:39:03.680 --> 01:39:06.380
to take a full, complete game to beat Jacksonville

01:39:06.380 --> 01:39:08.539
State. Yeah. They have not shown me that this

01:39:08.539 --> 01:39:12.479
season. No, no. So I don't know why I would jump

01:39:12.479 --> 01:39:15.039
on it now. I mean, it pissed me off last season

01:39:15.039 --> 01:39:17.000
when they would be behind at halftime and then

01:39:17.000 --> 01:39:19.380
fight their way back. It's like, can't we have

01:39:19.380 --> 01:39:22.279
one game where we're ahead the whole time? Just

01:39:22.279 --> 01:39:26.789
one. The answer was no. Apparently. We called

01:39:26.789 --> 01:39:28.609
the league office and they said, no, not this

01:39:28.609 --> 01:39:31.449
season, but maybe one next year. The Texas versus

01:39:31.449 --> 01:39:35.050
Chiefs are the Sunday night game this week. So

01:39:35.050 --> 01:39:38.489
that's cool. Yeah. Stand alone. But the thing

01:39:38.489 --> 01:39:40.189
that's not cool is, is Mahomes traditionally

01:39:40.189 --> 01:39:42.489
doesn't look that great on stand alone games.

01:39:42.510 --> 01:39:44.850
No, he doesn't. I don't know. All right. And

01:39:44.850 --> 01:39:48.229
then finally, Monday, December 8th, 7 .15 p .m.,

01:39:48.229 --> 01:39:51.189
it's the Eagles versus the Chargers in L .A.

01:39:52.880 --> 01:39:54.399
Got to go Eagles with that one. I'm going to

01:39:54.399 --> 01:39:56.699
go Eagles too because I think that they've lost

01:39:56.699 --> 01:40:00.859
too many. And I think, you know, they have championship

01:40:00.859 --> 01:40:05.079
DNA, obviously. And they also have a string of

01:40:05.079 --> 01:40:08.640
the championship or close to DNA. The first game

01:40:08.640 --> 01:40:10.439
against the Chiefs in the Super Bowl, they almost

01:40:10.439 --> 01:40:12.840
won. I mean, they should have won it probably.

01:40:13.239 --> 01:40:15.920
Yeah. Okay. And then they won this last one.

01:40:16.359 --> 01:40:19.739
I think that they have the DNA. I think they

01:40:19.739 --> 01:40:23.000
have the ability to look in the mirror and go,

01:40:23.060 --> 01:40:25.520
all right, guys, we've got to quit fucking around

01:40:25.520 --> 01:40:28.340
or we're going to lose this thing. Yeah. So I

01:40:28.340 --> 01:40:30.479
think that you're going to see the Eagles. And

01:40:30.479 --> 01:40:33.920
also, Justin Herbert, even if he plays, they're

01:40:33.920 --> 01:40:35.840
going to hit that hand every fucking chance they

01:40:35.840 --> 01:40:38.109
get. They're going to destroy him. Every chance

01:40:38.109 --> 01:40:41.149
I get. I've never really fully bought in on the

01:40:41.149 --> 01:40:43.890
Chargers with Justin Herbert. I don't think he's

01:40:43.890 --> 01:40:45.890
that good. It just really hasn't even happened

01:40:45.890 --> 01:40:47.909
all that much. He's good at times. He's good

01:40:47.909 --> 01:40:49.829
at times. And then he starts looking like Justin

01:40:49.829 --> 01:40:52.449
Herbert, and that's not good. You know, the whole

01:40:52.449 --> 01:40:54.430
thing is, when he came out, they were like, you

01:40:54.430 --> 01:40:57.529
know, this guy. Mahomes may have some, you know.

01:40:57.529 --> 01:41:00.449
Yeah. And, no, he hasn't shown anything like

01:41:00.449 --> 01:41:02.930
that because he's too inconsistent. Way too inconsistent.

01:41:02.930 --> 01:41:04.869
Who we have to worry about in the division is

01:41:04.869 --> 01:41:07.460
Bo Nix in Denver. Yes. That's who the Chiefs

01:41:07.460 --> 01:41:10.079
need to worry about. Game manager, but he's also

01:41:10.079 --> 01:41:12.279
a game saver too, it looks like. Yeah. He makes

01:41:12.279 --> 01:41:14.899
a big play when it needs to be. So he's not going

01:41:14.899 --> 01:41:17.319
to throw it 300 yards, but I hate saying this,

01:41:17.399 --> 01:41:19.560
but you know who he reminds me of when he was

01:41:19.560 --> 01:41:23.779
young? Tom Brady. Yeah, he does. A lot of that

01:41:23.779 --> 01:41:26.520
type of play, I'm not going to lose the game.

01:41:26.659 --> 01:41:28.420
Yep. And every now and then I'll do something

01:41:28.420 --> 01:41:32.180
to win the game. Wow. That's him. So we'll see

01:41:32.180 --> 01:41:36.500
if he continues. I got a couple of Chiefs observations.

01:41:36.739 --> 01:41:39.319
That's all of the implications. So real quick,

01:41:39.399 --> 01:41:41.260
and then we can go on to the music creeps if

01:41:41.260 --> 01:41:43.520
you want, unless you got something else. Nope.

01:41:44.600 --> 01:41:47.979
Okay. Whenever the Chiefs score 30 points this

01:41:47.979 --> 01:41:51.579
year, they win. Yeah. And that's two games. Yeah.

01:41:51.579 --> 01:41:54.859
And whenever someone else scores 30 points, they

01:41:54.859 --> 01:41:57.859
lose. Yeah. Two games. It's not much of an observation,

01:41:57.859 --> 01:41:59.520
but I didn't know we were going to have so much

01:41:59.520 --> 01:42:02.380
material. So I was like, we can just talk about

01:42:02.380 --> 01:42:07.770
this for a minute. Okay. Okay, and also, this

01:42:07.770 --> 01:42:10.069
is some observations. We went into a lot of them,

01:42:10.090 --> 01:42:14.289
okay? The lack of execution on the big plays

01:42:14.289 --> 01:42:16.689
have killed us. Yeah. Have killed us. We cannot

01:42:16.689 --> 01:42:19.590
do it this year. How do you get out of that mindset?

01:42:21.409 --> 01:42:24.770
Wow, that's a tough one. I mean, is the talent

01:42:24.770 --> 01:42:26.909
just not there? Is that it, and the other teams

01:42:26.909 --> 01:42:31.840
know who to focus on, who to pick on? I'm not

01:42:31.840 --> 01:42:34.039
sure about that. I know at least part of the

01:42:34.039 --> 01:42:37.039
problem is I'm seeing Patrick Mahomes miss a

01:42:37.039 --> 01:42:39.380
lot of throws that he used to make. Okay, that

01:42:39.380 --> 01:42:43.119
I think. This again, my boss pointed this out

01:42:43.119 --> 01:42:47.020
to me. Route running. Yeah, I wonder how much

01:42:47.020 --> 01:42:48.600
of it is route running, but there's somewhere

01:42:48.600 --> 01:42:52.220
it's just like Mahomes just like totally overthrows

01:42:52.220 --> 01:42:56.119
it. It's like the guy's not that fast. So is

01:42:56.119 --> 01:42:57.960
he throwing it away because he knows he's covered?

01:42:58.569 --> 01:43:00.689
Is he making a mistake and throwing it too hard?

01:43:00.970 --> 01:43:03.029
I think it's overcompensating. It's like I don't

01:43:03.029 --> 01:43:05.050
want to get an interception, but I also want

01:43:05.050 --> 01:43:07.810
to have a chance at this. So he makes a play

01:43:07.810 --> 01:43:10.409
like if anybody, if anyone's going to make it,

01:43:10.430 --> 01:43:12.069
it's going to be your guy, not the other guy.

01:43:12.229 --> 01:43:15.810
And, you know, he does that too, but I think

01:43:15.810 --> 01:43:18.130
if he's not getting harassed at the line so much,

01:43:18.229 --> 01:43:21.529
he makes plays like that. If he's getting harassed,

01:43:21.529 --> 01:43:23.470
he has no choice but to try to launch the ball

01:43:23.470 --> 01:43:26.510
and he just hopes for the best. If it's a route

01:43:26.510 --> 01:43:30.409
running thing? then that goes back to what Mahomes

01:43:30.409 --> 01:43:33.829
said about the enemy. The enemy held us accountable,

01:43:34.029 --> 01:43:36.350
called us on our mistakes, and made sure that

01:43:36.350 --> 01:43:38.789
we owned up to them. If no one's doing that,

01:43:38.909 --> 01:43:40.470
then the people who are running crappy routes

01:43:40.470 --> 01:43:42.569
probably aren't getting called on it enough.

01:43:42.770 --> 01:43:44.909
Yeah, Matt Nagy does not need to be everybody's

01:43:44.909 --> 01:43:48.750
best friend or whoever the receiver's coach is.

01:43:48.829 --> 01:43:51.909
Don't be their best friend. Yeah. And also, it's

01:43:51.909 --> 01:43:53.710
not like these guys are elite. I mean, there

01:43:53.710 --> 01:43:56.229
might be. There's one of them for sure and another

01:43:56.229 --> 01:43:58.630
one up and coming if he can stay out of jail.

01:43:58.890 --> 01:44:01.829
Yeah. And, okay, Rasheed Rice will be a lead

01:44:01.829 --> 01:44:05.289
if he keeps playing, doesn't get injured, doesn't

01:44:05.289 --> 01:44:09.649
do stupid shit. And Travis Kelsey, but he is

01:44:09.649 --> 01:44:12.350
probably retiring after this year, I would say.

01:44:12.529 --> 01:44:14.770
It's too early on Thornton. I mean, he looks

01:44:14.770 --> 01:44:18.840
really good, but. He's very capable, and I think

01:44:18.840 --> 01:44:21.119
it's all on the Chiefs and how they use him from

01:44:21.119 --> 01:44:23.380
here on out. Yeah, I think he can be a really,

01:44:23.380 --> 01:44:25.800
really good number two, if not eventual number

01:44:25.800 --> 01:44:29.939
one. Yes, I agree. I agree. He could be a number

01:44:29.939 --> 01:44:33.399
one, and we're the, I don't know, as high as

01:44:33.399 --> 01:44:37.079
we were on him last year, as down as I am on

01:44:37.079 --> 01:44:42.159
him this year, he has some obvious flaws that

01:44:42.159 --> 01:44:43.739
he's going to have to get over. I mean, it was

01:44:43.739 --> 01:44:46.579
rookie season. He was having trouble. Catching

01:44:46.579 --> 01:44:49.460
the ball, and he's having trouble making sure

01:44:49.460 --> 01:44:51.319
he was still inbounds when he caught the ball.

01:44:51.619 --> 01:44:54.039
And there was one famous play where he jumped

01:44:54.039 --> 01:44:56.420
up, tapped his toes, but forgot to catch the

01:44:56.420 --> 01:44:59.720
ball first. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yes.

01:45:00.100 --> 01:45:03.880
I remember that. It's like, ah. Ask backwards?

01:45:03.960 --> 01:45:06.520
Yeah. Ah, yeah. So really, he's had one decent

01:45:06.520 --> 01:45:09.300
season last season, but his first season and

01:45:09.300 --> 01:45:12.119
this season, eh. I don't know. It's like, yeah.

01:45:12.899 --> 01:45:19.319
Okay. All right, let's see. Another thing that

01:45:19.319 --> 01:45:23.939
really, really bothered me is if it wasn't for

01:45:23.939 --> 01:45:26.100
Rashi Rice the last two games, the Chiefs would

01:45:26.100 --> 01:45:28.760
have scored maybe one touchdown each game. Yeah.

01:45:28.859 --> 01:45:30.939
He was the only one getting open in the end zone.

01:45:31.159 --> 01:45:35.159
Yeah. And when there's only one guy doing it,

01:45:35.180 --> 01:45:36.819
then the other team knows it and they can shut

01:45:36.819 --> 01:45:39.239
that guy down. Yeah. So this is not looking real

01:45:39.239 --> 01:45:43.680
good. No. And Josh Simmons? Plays well when he's

01:45:43.680 --> 01:45:46.520
in, but he hasn't been in enough. So, like I

01:45:46.520 --> 01:45:51.579
said, you know. And also, the Josh Simmons thing,

01:45:51.640 --> 01:45:52.800
because I'm going into this because we've talked

01:45:52.800 --> 01:45:55.800
about him enough, is this right here. If they

01:45:55.800 --> 01:45:58.079
lose this next game, they should take Mahomes

01:45:58.079 --> 01:46:00.119
out before they take him out on a stretcher.

01:46:00.500 --> 01:46:04.119
Yeah, yeah. Once they're sure they're not being

01:46:04.119 --> 01:46:08.899
the playoffs. Playoffs. Yeah. Take him out. Yeah,

01:46:08.920 --> 01:46:11.890
that's it. Let Minshew play. Yeah, let Minshew

01:46:11.890 --> 01:46:16.890
play and go for a draft pick. Yeah. So, I agree.

01:46:18.210 --> 01:46:20.390
Will they do that? Probably not. Probably not

01:46:20.390 --> 01:46:23.210
because people come to see Mahomes play. Yeah.

01:46:23.270 --> 01:46:26.250
People bet on Mahomes being in the game. So,

01:46:26.310 --> 01:46:27.989
there will be pressure to keep him in. Maybe

01:46:27.989 --> 01:46:29.750
the last game of the season they would sit him

01:46:29.750 --> 01:46:32.550
out. You know, on the bright spot, McDonald's

01:46:32.550 --> 01:46:34.989
saved a lot of money this year on sacks. That's

01:46:34.989 --> 01:46:37.250
true. Yeah, they have that sack special, buy

01:46:37.250 --> 01:46:39.569
one Big Mac, get one free. Yep. They haven't

01:46:39.569 --> 01:46:43.310
done that in 12 quarters. Oh, gosh. It's fucking

01:46:43.310 --> 01:46:48.489
ridiculous. It is. Yeah, so. So, okay. I think

01:46:48.489 --> 01:46:52.170
that's pretty much all. Oh, oh, oh. This one

01:46:52.170 --> 01:46:53.949
I wanted to go into real quick. And then we can

01:46:53.949 --> 01:46:56.590
go into the music creeps. Because I got to pee

01:46:56.590 --> 01:46:58.149
like a racehorse. Oh, go ahead and put it on

01:46:58.149 --> 01:47:01.010
pause. Okay. All right. All right. You know what?

01:47:01.090 --> 01:47:03.090
We decided it would be really nice to just go

01:47:03.090 --> 01:47:06.390
in and end this abortion here. So, anyhow, we.

01:47:06.680 --> 01:47:08.659
Love you guys listening. Thank you. The listenership

01:47:08.659 --> 01:47:11.159
is great. We can't thank you guys enough. So

01:47:11.159 --> 01:47:12.720
anyhow, just go fuck yourself.
