WEBVTT

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

00:00:03.560 --> 00:00:14.580
Bastards. Sorry about your luck. The Sports Bastards.

00:00:14.619 --> 00:00:18.820
The only sports show with gusto. That's right.

00:00:18.940 --> 00:00:23.500
I said gusto. Just like Schlitz beer. Google

00:00:23.500 --> 00:00:28.170
it. The following is a parody. A parody, and

00:00:28.170 --> 00:00:30.530
nothing but a parody. So don't get your panties

00:00:30.530 --> 00:00:34.450
in a wad. Well, hey there, fellas. This is Lil'

00:00:34.570 --> 00:00:36.950
Skippy Bayless, and I like to say that I am a

00:00:36.950 --> 00:00:39.350
jealous little bitch, and I only mouth off about

00:00:39.350 --> 00:00:41.429
my homes and the Chiefs is because I have to

00:00:41.429 --> 00:00:43.850
latch on to something relevant as an attempt

00:00:43.850 --> 00:00:46.909
to make me relevant. But it isn't working. Well,

00:00:47.030 --> 00:00:49.549
I gotta go. I have a new Dak Prescott poster

00:00:49.549 --> 00:00:53.939
I need to run one out to. See ya! Here we go.

00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:56.380
All right. We are the Sports Bastards. I am Mark.

00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:59.600
And I am Topher. All right. Well, welcome. We're

00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:01.840
going to be talking a lot of Chiefs, of course.

00:01:01.979 --> 00:01:04.040
Oh, here comes our coffee. Oh, yes. City Market

00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:06.439
Coffee. This is amazing. This one's real hot.

00:01:06.500 --> 00:01:09.140
Oh, thank you. Is that the Americano? Yes. Thank

00:01:09.140 --> 00:01:11.670
you. Thank you. You're welcome. I'm glad he left

00:01:11.670 --> 00:01:13.590
the lid off. That'll help cool down a little

00:01:13.590 --> 00:01:15.430
bit. Probably ten minutes before I can take a

00:01:15.430 --> 00:01:20.629
drink. So, we got some Chiefs stuff to talk about.

00:01:20.730 --> 00:01:23.129
A lot of Chiefs stuff. Yes. But first, like on

00:01:23.129 --> 00:01:25.310
the way down here, we were talking. I'd like

00:01:25.310 --> 00:01:28.629
to go into Jim Harbaugh. Yes. And his dirty hitting,

00:01:28.709 --> 00:01:31.450
in my opinion. Oh, my gosh. I mean, that's like

00:01:31.450 --> 00:01:34.569
throwback from 20, 25 years ago when the teams,

00:01:34.609 --> 00:01:37.349
you know, were doing Bounty Gate. You had teams

00:01:37.349 --> 00:01:40.760
like the Houston Oilers. Look them up. Yeah,

00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:44.200
Google it. The at -the -time Oakland or Los Angeles

00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:47.659
Raiders. Wherever they were. Detroit Lions. They

00:01:47.659 --> 00:01:51.379
all had the reputation of hitting you to injure

00:01:51.379 --> 00:01:53.280
you, knock you out of the game because they wanted

00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:55.180
to play against your second and third stringers.

00:01:55.219 --> 00:01:56.819
Well, like you brought back. Look at Michigan

00:01:56.819 --> 00:01:59.159
and the shambles he left that in. Oh, my God.

00:01:59.299 --> 00:02:02.780
Their head coach is fired, arrested, in jail.

00:02:03.659 --> 00:02:08.199
I know. He's having an affair with one of the

00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:11.340
staffers, raised her salary from $58 ,000 a year

00:02:11.340 --> 00:02:13.960
to $99 ,000 a year as soon as she started sleeping

00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:16.159
with him, and then he's going after somebody

00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:19.219
else, stalking her, breaking and entering into

00:02:19.219 --> 00:02:22.020
her home. Yeah. This is the guy that Jim Harbaugh

00:02:22.020 --> 00:02:24.300
hired, worked next to, and thought the world

00:02:24.300 --> 00:02:26.719
of, and left the team to him. That tells you

00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:28.819
what Jim Harbaugh is. Reminds me of Sandusky

00:02:28.819 --> 00:02:31.259
and Joe Paterno. Yes, it does. I know this is

00:02:31.259 --> 00:02:34.360
going on, but he is such a good coach. Yeah.

00:02:34.539 --> 00:02:36.580
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Allegedly. Allegedly.

00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:40.259
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I don't like Jim Harbaugh.

00:02:40.300 --> 00:02:43.800
I never have. No, he does the poor, confused

00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:46.000
old grandpa look from the sidelines with his

00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:48.879
big, giant glasses and his squinty face and his

00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:50.979
mouth open. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's a piece of

00:02:50.979 --> 00:02:53.819
shit in my opinion. Inside his head, he's Hitler.

00:02:53.979 --> 00:02:58.680
His apology meant nothing. Nothing. No. You go

00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:00.599
out and try to fucking murder somebody, and they

00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:05.080
come out and go, I'm so sorry he was hurt. And

00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:07.120
while he was apologizing, he was writing the

00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:09.740
check to the player for the bounty on Mahomes'

00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:12.439
left knee, which everybody knew was injured.

00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:14.939
Everybody could see it. You could see it two

00:03:14.939 --> 00:03:17.080
weeks leading up. Yeah, I even talked about it

00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:19.240
on the podcast. Look, I've had knee problems

00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:21.680
for a while now because of my old job and those

00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:25.020
dirty pieces of shit. They didn't care if they

00:03:25.020 --> 00:03:29.550
tore your body up. They just wanted money. Okay.

00:03:29.990 --> 00:03:34.030
The thing is, is I am no stranger to knee problems.

00:03:34.169 --> 00:03:38.110
And I identified this probably three weeks ago.

00:03:38.330 --> 00:03:42.770
I know that sideways feather ginger walk. Yes.

00:03:42.909 --> 00:03:47.229
I know that too well. And like you said, they

00:03:47.229 --> 00:03:49.810
all have bone specialists on their team. Yep.

00:03:49.830 --> 00:03:52.889
They all have all these advanced doctors. And

00:03:52.889 --> 00:03:56.689
they all looked at it and said, yeah, that guy's

00:03:56.689 --> 00:04:00.669
knee is fucked. Now, Mahomes' knee didn't blow

00:04:00.669 --> 00:04:03.650
out right then because of a hit. It blew out

00:04:03.650 --> 00:04:06.789
just because he did what I did. Remember what

00:04:06.789 --> 00:04:10.530
I did going up these spiral stairs? Yes. About

00:04:10.530 --> 00:04:12.770
a year ago, and I couldn't walk for almost a

00:04:12.770 --> 00:04:16.329
week? Mm -hmm. That's what he did. You planted

00:04:16.329 --> 00:04:18.870
it sideways just enough to where it tore the

00:04:18.870 --> 00:04:21.509
tendons. Yeah. Mine didn't tear, luckily. Yeah.

00:04:21.589 --> 00:04:23.829
But I definitely felt it. Yeah, with Mahomes,

00:04:23.870 --> 00:04:27.589
it was ACL and LCL complete tear. Yeah, yeah.

00:04:28.469 --> 00:04:31.709
So there's different ways. Jim Harbaugh, we agree,

00:04:31.790 --> 00:04:34.689
is a piece of shit. Yeah, yeah. The ninth year,

00:04:34.829 --> 00:04:36.889
I'm sure everybody has seen this because it's

00:04:36.889 --> 00:04:39.410
been publicized everywhere. The ninth year, but

00:04:39.410 --> 00:04:41.769
it was only the first game, and it was involving

00:04:41.769 --> 00:04:45.470
the Chiefs, where Matt Castle had to take over

00:04:45.470 --> 00:04:49.550
for Tom Brady, and they missed the playoffs that

00:04:49.550 --> 00:04:53.810
season. Playoffs. Yeah, there we go. So, okay,

00:04:54.009 --> 00:04:58.399
that being said. This is the ninth season of

00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:00.360
Mahomes. They both have three Super Bowl rings,

00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:02.339
and they both missed the playoffs in their ninth

00:05:02.339 --> 00:05:04.139
season. Just a little bit different in the timing,

00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:07.720
okay? All right. Now how Mahomes responds to

00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:10.540
this is going to mean his future to me. Yeah.

00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:14.019
Because Brady was not – he was a game manager.

00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:17.439
He was not – we've always said this. When he

00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:19.420
first came in the league, it was Bill Belichick's

00:05:19.420 --> 00:05:22.689
defense. Yeah. And Brady just knew enough not

00:05:22.689 --> 00:05:24.589
to fuck it up. Yeah. And I'm pretty sure that's

00:05:24.589 --> 00:05:25.970
what Belichick told him. He said, all right,

00:05:25.970 --> 00:05:27.670
boy, this is your shot, but don't mess it up.

00:05:27.769 --> 00:05:30.389
Yes. Don't take that shot that you don't know

00:05:30.389 --> 00:05:35.889
a la Minshew. Yeah. Okay? So don't take that

00:05:35.889 --> 00:05:38.129
shot that you're unsure about. We're going to

00:05:38.129 --> 00:05:40.610
run a lot, and we're going to play ball control.

00:05:41.490 --> 00:05:49.009
Right? Okay. So. Go ahead, because I've got so

00:05:49.009 --> 00:05:51.110
much to say, I'm just going to keep fucking talking.

00:05:51.310 --> 00:05:56.149
It does seem like an odd parallel. And as you

00:05:56.149 --> 00:05:58.509
were saying, Mahomes is more of the playmaker,

00:05:58.709 --> 00:06:01.069
take the team on his back, spectacular kind of

00:06:01.069 --> 00:06:05.670
guy that Brady wasn't at that point. And we'll

00:06:05.670 --> 00:06:09.709
see how Mahomes' game changes. Because he's not

00:06:09.709 --> 00:06:12.189
going to make it back by game one of next season.

00:06:12.370 --> 00:06:14.449
No, no, no. He's probably not going to be back

00:06:14.449 --> 00:06:18.480
until sometime in October. Yes. And his game

00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:21.420
is going to have to change. And even when he

00:06:21.420 --> 00:06:23.899
comes back, he won't be 100%. He won't be the

00:06:23.899 --> 00:06:25.759
same. It's going to take until the second year

00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:28.579
for him to get back to healthy again. Well, I

00:06:28.579 --> 00:06:31.519
don't think we're going to be that in contention

00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:33.720
anyhow next year. I really don't think so, no.

00:06:33.779 --> 00:06:36.540
We start off $48 million over the cap as of right

00:06:36.540 --> 00:06:40.480
now. Now the cap goes up every year, and I understand

00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:42.639
this. And there's things they do to kick the

00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:46.279
can down the road, you know. So there's things

00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:48.579
they do to kick the can down the road. But the

00:06:48.579 --> 00:06:51.800
problem is a lot of our can kicking has come

00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:55.000
due. And we have these players that are rotten

00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:58.639
on the vine, per se. And we're paying them a

00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:02.420
large amount of money now. So like every team,

00:07:02.459 --> 00:07:06.040
the NFL is designed like this. It's like, do

00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:09.019
great, do great, do great. Oh, fuck, we can't

00:07:09.019 --> 00:07:12.899
do it now. We owe everybody everything. They

00:07:12.899 --> 00:07:17.069
talk about it openly in baseball. You spend everything,

00:07:17.410 --> 00:07:19.889
you pretty much blow the budget to try to build

00:07:19.889 --> 00:07:21.889
for a winning team this year, and then you know

00:07:21.889 --> 00:07:24.029
you're going to suck for five years. And baseball

00:07:24.029 --> 00:07:26.290
just knows that, and the fans know it, and everybody

00:07:26.290 --> 00:07:27.730
knows that they just do it because that's the

00:07:27.730 --> 00:07:30.050
way it works. The Royals did it. They finally

00:07:30.050 --> 00:07:33.389
won the World Series in 2015 after how long of

00:07:33.389 --> 00:07:36.389
an absence since 1985? 30 years. Yeah, 30 years.

00:07:36.589 --> 00:07:38.790
So they finally won the World Series in 2015.

00:07:38.870 --> 00:07:41.529
It took them nine years to get back to the playoffs.

00:07:42.029 --> 00:07:45.529
which is not unusual, and I think the NFL is

00:07:45.529 --> 00:07:47.670
going that way. Right now there are a lot of

00:07:47.670 --> 00:07:51.329
teams better than the Chiefs and don't have to

00:07:51.329 --> 00:07:54.589
do as much work as the Chiefs. Well, I look at

00:07:54.589 --> 00:07:59.230
it as the Chiefs and a lot of other teams need

00:07:59.230 --> 00:08:03.009
rebuilding, some work, some improvement, et cetera,

00:08:03.050 --> 00:08:05.170
and all the teams are going to do it, some with

00:08:05.170 --> 00:08:07.490
more success than others, but I see the Chiefs.

00:08:07.870 --> 00:08:10.410
starting from farther back than a lot of other

00:08:10.410 --> 00:08:13.709
teams in the AFC. So they're all going to improve

00:08:13.709 --> 00:08:16.050
themselves too. So just the Chiefs improving

00:08:16.050 --> 00:08:18.829
doesn't mean enough because the other teams aren't

00:08:18.829 --> 00:08:21.829
sitting still. And the Bills are going to improve,

00:08:21.990 --> 00:08:24.850
and the Bengals are going to improve. The Bengals

00:08:24.850 --> 00:08:28.209
are just sure. Well, who knows. But all the teams

00:08:28.209 --> 00:08:30.370
giving us trouble, the Texans are going to improve.

00:08:30.589 --> 00:08:32.370
All the teams that gave us trouble this year,

00:08:32.429 --> 00:08:34.350
they're going to get better too. So we've got

00:08:34.350 --> 00:08:37.490
to get better plus some. The Texans are my dark

00:08:37.490 --> 00:08:39.870
horse now. Yeah. I'll tell you what, they are

00:08:39.870 --> 00:08:41.889
gelling at the right time. And now C .J. Stroud

00:08:41.889 --> 00:08:44.470
is throwing. Oh, my gosh. He looked like Mahomes

00:08:44.470 --> 00:08:46.909
did a few years ago. He did. It's a type of just

00:08:46.909 --> 00:08:50.149
– and Caleb Williams threw some amazing passes

00:08:50.149 --> 00:08:53.049
too against Cleveland. Caleb Williams has just

00:08:53.049 --> 00:08:55.110
been off the hook. And he's not a flashy guy.

00:08:55.190 --> 00:08:58.870
He's not going to throw for like 390 yards, 400

00:08:58.870 --> 00:09:01.850
yards. Yeah. He's just doing what it takes. Yeah.

00:09:02.789 --> 00:09:05.870
There's a lot to be said for that. I'm so grateful

00:09:05.870 --> 00:09:09.269
that all of our fears seem to be misplaced about

00:09:09.269 --> 00:09:13.889
Caleb Williams in Chicago. They're managing not

00:09:13.889 --> 00:09:16.850
to destroy his career. And they have a running

00:09:16.850 --> 00:09:18.950
game, and they're winning, and they could win

00:09:18.950 --> 00:09:20.929
the division, especially now that Green Bay is

00:09:20.929 --> 00:09:26.789
decimated. Yeah, Green Bay, yeah, Parsons is

00:09:26.789 --> 00:09:28.450
out, and then they have another couple people

00:09:28.450 --> 00:09:32.279
out too. They are not... They were my dark horse

00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:35.600
in the NFC. Now, I don't know. They don't have

00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:38.320
enough, I don't think, anymore. You see, if I

00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:42.340
was a believer in Sam Darnold, I would go with

00:09:42.340 --> 00:09:45.039
the Seahawks with their defense. But I am not

00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:47.039
a believer in Sam Darnold. We saw what he did

00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:48.860
last year in Minnesota. Yeah, he's going to wet

00:09:48.860 --> 00:09:54.700
down his leg. So, you know, you're talking about

00:09:54.700 --> 00:09:58.379
the Chiefs and people lapping them in Chicago.

00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:01.419
Yeah. Do you want a comparison of the Eric Biennium

00:10:01.419 --> 00:10:05.559
years? Two, I've got it right here. Nice. Two,

00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:12.000
current. 2018 under Eric Biennium, Mahomes had.

00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:14.720
And I didn't do 2017 because he had one game.

00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:16.539
He was at the starter, and they threw him in

00:10:16.539 --> 00:10:19.200
there just to get some work. Get us all excited

00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:21.460
about him. Yes, which he didn't do. He looked.

00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:26.240
Average? Yeah, he did. But next year, he made

00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:29.700
up for that. Okay, 2018 under Eric Biennium,

00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:36.720
5 ,097 yards, 50 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions.

00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:39.559
And I'll just wait a second here. Somebody's

00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:42.500
peeling a child. Yes, yes. They've got his skin

00:10:42.500 --> 00:10:45.620
mostly off. Yeah, yeah, yep, still happening.

00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:52.799
Yep, yep. So, anyhow, I mean, I don't know. We

00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:54.759
could tap dance maybe while this is going on.

00:10:54.860 --> 00:10:57.080
I could, yeah. We could tell knock -knock jokes.

00:10:57.559 --> 00:10:59.919
Yeah, yeah, knock -knock jokes will work. You

00:10:59.919 --> 00:11:02.320
know why dogs can never tell knock -knock jokes?

00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:04.559
No, why? Because the first one says knock -knock,

00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:07.240
and then they just both start barking. True,

00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:11.399
true. So, okay, so under Eric Biennemi, 2018

00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:15.799
is first full starting season, 597 yards, 50

00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:21.139
touchdowns, 12 interceptions. He had a rating

00:11:21.139 --> 00:11:28.580
of 113 .8. Yes. 2019 under Eric Biennemi, 4 ,031

00:11:28.580 --> 00:11:33.379
yards, 26 touchdowns, 5 interceptions, 105 .3

00:11:33.379 --> 00:11:41.740
rating. Yeah. 2020 under Eric Biennemi, 4 ,740

00:11:41.740 --> 00:11:47.480
yards, 38 touchdowns, 6 interceptions, 108 .2

00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:55.379
rating. 2021 under Eric Biennemi, 4 ,839 yards,

00:11:55.519 --> 00:12:00.919
37 touchdowns, 13 interceptions, 98 .5 rating.

00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:06.000
2022 under, hey, how you doing, Franco? Under

00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:12.039
Eric Biennemi, 5 ,250 yards, 41 touchdowns, 12

00:12:12.039 --> 00:12:16.009
interceptions, 105 .2 rating. Now let's go to

00:12:16.009 --> 00:12:18.990
Matt Nagy. All these three are under Matt Nagy

00:12:18.990 --> 00:12:24.549
since Eric the Enemy left. 20 -23, 4 ,183 yards,

00:12:24.690 --> 00:12:29.750
27 touchdowns, 14 interceptions, 92 .6. That's

00:12:29.750 --> 00:12:32.029
good. Touchdown -interception ratio, I've been

00:12:32.029 --> 00:12:34.970
keeping track on that. It was excellent for Mahomes.

00:12:35.009 --> 00:12:38.629
It was like 10 -1, 6 -1, 5 -1. Those last two

00:12:38.629 --> 00:12:41.450
years, it was 4 -1. Yes. Under Matt Nagy, now

00:12:41.450 --> 00:12:45.299
it's 2 -1. Part of it is... the league catching

00:12:45.299 --> 00:12:47.779
up and figuring out Mahomes, but a one -year

00:12:47.779 --> 00:12:50.659
jump where the ratio of touchdowns and interceptions

00:12:50.659 --> 00:12:55.320
is cut in half. Yeah. That's a problem. There

00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:58.559
is, and that's lack of coaching, I believe. 2024

00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:04.200
under Nagy, 3 ,928 yards, 26 touchdowns, 11 interceptions.

00:13:04.419 --> 00:13:06.740
It's about two to one again. Yeah. Two to one.

00:13:06.940 --> 00:13:10.980
93 -5 interception. Now, current. Now, this season's

00:13:10.980 --> 00:13:16.720
over for Mahomes. Yeah. 2025. Under neck. 3 ,587

00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:19.179
yards, which is very respectable, I have to add

00:13:19.179 --> 00:13:21.799
that. Very respectable for this point in the

00:13:21.799 --> 00:13:25.419
season. 14 games in, yeah. Yeah, yeah. So he

00:13:25.419 --> 00:13:27.559
could have easily got well over 4 ,000 yards,

00:13:27.659 --> 00:13:30.299
which is a very good season for most quarterbacks.

00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:35.100
Yeah. Now, you're saying two for one. 22 touchdowns,

00:13:35.100 --> 00:13:38.600
11 interceptions. Two to one. Two to one. 89

00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:43.379
.6, which is not respectable. So not only, I

00:13:43.379 --> 00:13:45.440
mean, the touchdown to interception is going

00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:48.340
to hammer your rating, but other things too,

00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:51.240
the number of incompletions. Which he has a ton

00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:54.500
of. Yeah. Which shows you right there, there

00:13:54.500 --> 00:13:57.799
is lack of belief in your offensive line and

00:13:57.799 --> 00:14:00.600
your running backs. The Chiefs have got to come

00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:02.799
out and admit, because this is what I'm thinking

00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:05.840
anyway, either Mahomes isn't as good as he used

00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:08.799
to be and he's falling off the cliff, or the

00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:12.129
team. Management is letting him down big time.

00:14:12.289 --> 00:14:14.990
The front office is not doing what they need

00:14:14.990 --> 00:14:16.970
to do, what they should do, what they have been

00:14:16.970 --> 00:14:19.450
doing, and they're wrecking Mahomes' career.

00:14:19.789 --> 00:14:22.649
It's one or the other. Either Mahomes is fading

00:14:22.649 --> 00:14:26.389
or the Chiefs organization is wrecking his career.

00:14:26.570 --> 00:14:30.649
I've got a slightly different take. Every quarterback

00:14:30.649 --> 00:14:36.250
that's in the Hall of Fame right now. Okay, think

00:14:36.250 --> 00:14:40.269
back to Brett Favre. Yeah. His first... Seven,

00:14:40.309 --> 00:14:44.190
eight seasons, a monster. Yeah. And then because

00:14:44.190 --> 00:14:47.009
of the league catching up with you, he was pedestrian

00:14:47.009 --> 00:14:49.889
for probably ten years. Yeah, he started getting

00:14:49.889 --> 00:14:53.850
attacked for throwing these stupid interceptions.

00:14:54.070 --> 00:14:56.389
Yeah. Which, you know, the first few years, that

00:14:56.389 --> 00:14:59.029
was worth it because he was still winning the

00:14:59.029 --> 00:15:02.370
games. How about Aaron Rodgers, if you want to

00:15:02.370 --> 00:15:05.070
still talk about Green Bay? Same thing. First

00:15:05.070 --> 00:15:09.320
five, six seasons, amazing. Then all of a sudden

00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:11.419
the league caught up with him and also the salary

00:15:11.419 --> 00:15:14.080
cap doesn't look nearly as good. Don't have the

00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:17.399
weapons. This happens to every prominent quarterback

00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:19.740
that's going to, and Mahomes is going to be in

00:15:19.740 --> 00:15:23.340
the Hall of Fame first ballot, no doubt. If you

00:15:23.340 --> 00:15:25.379
want to go back in time, Dan Marino was the same

00:15:25.379 --> 00:15:28.460
way. His first few seasons, his first or second

00:15:28.460 --> 00:15:30.240
season in the league, he made it to the Super

00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:33.960
Bowl and they lost. And he had amazing passing

00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:37.450
numbers and completions. And then it all just

00:15:37.450 --> 00:15:39.389
started fading away because the rest of the league

00:15:39.389 --> 00:15:41.710
figured it out. He got it older. He got more

00:15:41.710 --> 00:15:44.610
frustrated. It wasn't nearly as fun anymore.

00:15:44.730 --> 00:15:47.029
It's the perfect storm of everything. What leads

00:15:47.029 --> 00:15:51.610
to more of a mediocrity career is because of

00:15:51.610 --> 00:15:53.970
that right there. All these factors and others

00:15:53.970 --> 00:15:55.789
that we have no idea about because we're not

00:15:55.789 --> 00:16:01.029
there. Also, I think that's part of it right

00:16:01.029 --> 00:16:03.009
there, is the league is definitely caught up

00:16:03.009 --> 00:16:06.659
with. So this is where... It comes up with the

00:16:06.659 --> 00:16:09.480
chiefs to respond to this. Yes. They have to

00:16:09.480 --> 00:16:11.379
look at themselves and have an honest review

00:16:11.379 --> 00:16:14.220
about what's going on. Yeah. But I'm not so sure

00:16:14.220 --> 00:16:17.279
that's going on. Yeah, I wonder about their ability

00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:19.919
to honestly look at themselves and make the painful

00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:22.480
changes they need. I don't think they really

00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:26.100
have the stomach for it. They're going to have

00:16:26.100 --> 00:16:29.899
to show me by dumping some prominent people.

00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:31.879
Some people, they're going to make you go, what?

00:16:32.730 --> 00:16:34.970
Like Chris Jones. Yes, that's what they need

00:16:34.970 --> 00:16:38.370
to do is do shocking, surprising moves. That's

00:16:38.370 --> 00:16:40.009
the only thing that's going to work. I mean,

00:16:40.090 --> 00:16:43.529
absolutely. They need to Jerry Jones it. Yeah.

00:16:43.610 --> 00:16:46.769
But not. A little bit more intelligent than that.

00:16:46.850 --> 00:16:50.350
Yeah. And you've got to tell your front office

00:16:50.350 --> 00:16:52.090
when you're doing it too. Yeah. You don't just

00:16:52.090 --> 00:16:55.590
do it and just be like, oh, oh, by the way, Micah

00:16:55.590 --> 00:16:58.149
Parsons will not be suiting up. I went ahead

00:16:58.149 --> 00:17:00.990
and traded him to the Packers. What? Yeah, deal

00:17:00.990 --> 00:17:04.240
with it. Yeah, and they're out of playoff contention

00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:05.799
from my understanding now because they lost.

00:17:06.299 --> 00:17:11.180
So, all right. This is, and I want your interjections

00:17:11.180 --> 00:17:13.180
on everything. I'll pause, and I want you to

00:17:13.180 --> 00:17:15.420
come back with this. Okay. I don't think you're

00:17:15.420 --> 00:17:19.200
that far off like a lot of people do. Not really,

00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:21.680
no, because they still have a lot of really good

00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:23.799
players who've worked together for a long time,

00:17:23.900 --> 00:17:28.039
and that's a big part of it. You put in some

00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:32.190
new people here and there. If Mahomes was done

00:17:32.190 --> 00:17:34.430
and gone and we had to start all over a quarterback,

00:17:34.750 --> 00:17:37.990
that would be a lot tougher. But he's coming

00:17:37.990 --> 00:17:41.049
back, and even though he would physically be

00:17:41.049 --> 00:17:43.690
as good right off the bat, his brain is still

00:17:43.690 --> 00:17:46.390
there. I hope he talks to Tom Brady. They're

00:17:46.390 --> 00:17:48.589
friends. They're good friends. I hope he calls

00:17:48.589 --> 00:17:51.210
him up and gets advice. Yeah, that would be a

00:17:51.210 --> 00:17:53.230
good idea. Because I'm pretty sure Brady will

00:17:53.230 --> 00:17:55.789
tell him, that was my clue to stay in shape better

00:17:55.789 --> 00:17:58.829
and really make a run. Quit taking so many chances.

00:17:59.450 --> 00:18:01.049
Quit taking so many chances. Yeah, I mean, it's

00:18:01.049 --> 00:18:04.430
part of its ego, part of its reality. Look how

00:18:04.430 --> 00:18:06.430
well the team does when you're playing and look

00:18:06.430 --> 00:18:08.390
how well they don't do when you're not playing.

00:18:08.609 --> 00:18:10.970
So take care of yourself because the rest of

00:18:10.970 --> 00:18:13.190
the team needs you and quit running around and

00:18:13.190 --> 00:18:15.230
flinging your body all over the place. Yeah.

00:18:15.529 --> 00:18:18.690
Well, his comment was he felt he let everybody

00:18:18.690 --> 00:18:22.210
down. He needs to stop that. Well, he's letting

00:18:22.210 --> 00:18:24.369
people down by taking stupid chances. Bingo.

00:18:24.470 --> 00:18:27.339
That's what's letting people down. Yep. By throwing

00:18:27.339 --> 00:18:29.579
the ball away, getting the fourth down, and having

00:18:29.579 --> 00:18:31.940
Ariza come in and punt, that's not letting the

00:18:31.940 --> 00:18:34.200
team down. No, no it isn't. That's the front

00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:35.960
office and the coaching staff letting the team

00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:38.299
down. Yeah, and it's just like I go back to the

00:18:38.299 --> 00:18:40.740
fourth and three pretty much, even though they

00:18:40.740 --> 00:18:43.220
called it a one. Yeah. Fourth and three from

00:18:43.220 --> 00:18:45.940
your 30 -yard line when you're tied at home with

00:18:45.940 --> 00:18:47.839
eight minutes to go. And your defense is playing

00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:49.920
so well that it's okay to punt. You'll get the

00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:51.779
ball back. Yeah, you know, and the defense probably

00:18:51.779 --> 00:18:53.460
looked at each other and said, what the fuck?

00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:57.519
Yeah. I would have. And they are adding so much

00:18:57.519 --> 00:19:00.140
fuel to the fire for the people who believe these

00:19:00.140 --> 00:19:03.440
games are fixed. Because what other stupid reason

00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:06.220
is there other than it was to make the game turn

00:19:06.220 --> 00:19:11.259
out the way it did? If you bet on the NFL, I

00:19:11.259 --> 00:19:13.740
still contend you're a fool. Yeah. The games

00:19:13.740 --> 00:19:18.359
are influenced so heavily that you're not going

00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:20.519
to have the spread. If they don't want the spread,

00:19:20.700 --> 00:19:22.630
they'll get rid of it. And the reason they get

00:19:22.630 --> 00:19:25.549
rid of it is by non -calls like happened in the

00:19:25.549 --> 00:19:29.369
game. Yeah. Like someone, I mean, all over. There

00:19:29.369 --> 00:19:31.390
were two real controversial calls in the Bills

00:19:31.390 --> 00:19:34.210
-Patriots game that pushed the game the Bills

00:19:34.210 --> 00:19:36.549
way. Yeah, because they want that. Yep. Josh

00:19:36.549 --> 00:19:39.750
Allen is their pet. Yeah. They want him to win

00:19:39.750 --> 00:19:43.109
bad. And it shows in their decision making. Yeah.

00:19:43.130 --> 00:19:45.369
And maybe Mahomes was like that at first too.

00:19:45.609 --> 00:19:48.529
I'm a homer. So, I mean, I like to think I'm

00:19:48.529 --> 00:19:52.049
realistic, but I can't remember that much. Mahomes

00:19:52.049 --> 00:19:55.369
might have got a little hug too at the beginning

00:19:55.369 --> 00:19:57.849
also. Yeah, the first few seasons he was definitely

00:19:57.849 --> 00:20:02.289
getting the gentle treatment from the officials.

00:20:02.309 --> 00:20:04.210
You walk by and sneeze on him and they're going

00:20:04.210 --> 00:20:07.210
to call you for roughing the quarterback. Well,

00:20:07.230 --> 00:20:09.609
all that's changed. All that has definitely changed.

00:20:10.069 --> 00:20:14.849
So I start off with this. The defense is looking

00:20:14.849 --> 00:20:17.430
at Leet again. We have a bunch of youngsters

00:20:17.430 --> 00:20:19.970
in there like Williams. Which is great. It is.

00:20:20.779 --> 00:20:25.259
So we need to build on that. Okay. We need to

00:20:25.259 --> 00:20:29.779
become a run first for real. Yes. For real. Strong

00:20:29.779 --> 00:20:33.500
running game. You go out and either buy or draft

00:20:33.500 --> 00:20:36.359
or a combination of both these people. No more

00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:38.579
Aliyah Mitchells that are just going to rot on

00:20:38.579 --> 00:20:41.400
the practice squad or on the roster. What a waste

00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:43.980
he was. Yeah. He got into like one or two games

00:20:43.980 --> 00:20:47.240
that I can remember and said, yeah, how much

00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:51.079
money they pissed away. Mm -hmm. And they let

00:20:51.079 --> 00:20:54.180
P. Ryan go. Yeah, P. Ryan should have been kept.

00:20:54.319 --> 00:20:56.019
Yeah. And they shouldn't have even looked at

00:20:56.019 --> 00:21:00.319
Mitchell. Or a lair. Oh, a lair. A waste of a

00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:03.299
roster spot all season. A lair still burns my

00:21:03.299 --> 00:21:08.039
ass. He must have pictures of somebody that he's

00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:09.759
threatening him with. How else does he manage

00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:12.359
to stay on the roster, eating up a roster spot

00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:15.599
and contributing jack? Yeah. Oh, I don't get

00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:17.089
it. Yeah, contributing nothing. Listen, I know

00:21:17.089 --> 00:21:19.190
they like the guy and he's a fine person by all

00:21:19.190 --> 00:21:23.009
accounts, but this is business. Business. Yeah.

00:21:23.130 --> 00:21:25.990
Hey, next time that, you know, listeners are

00:21:25.990 --> 00:21:28.490
out there. and they need to take an airplane

00:21:28.490 --> 00:21:30.970
trip some way, don't get a qualified pilot who

00:21:30.970 --> 00:21:33.690
knows what he's doing. Just get a nice guy that

00:21:33.690 --> 00:21:36.109
you want to hang out with, and that'll be fine.

00:21:36.230 --> 00:21:38.670
That's good enough. That's the humane thing to

00:21:38.670 --> 00:21:41.210
do. Next time you need open -heart surgery, just

00:21:41.210 --> 00:21:43.930
pick your best friend. Don't get that asshole

00:21:43.930 --> 00:21:45.829
doctor who thinks he's better than you but knows

00:21:45.829 --> 00:21:48.690
what he's doing. See how stupid that sounds?

00:21:51.930 --> 00:21:56.579
True. Very, very true. So I think run first,

00:21:56.680 --> 00:21:59.599
strong running game. Special teams, they need

00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:02.359
a new coach. Oh, God. They have the talent. I

00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:03.240
think they do, yeah. I think Vince, they have

00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:07.859
the talent. Remigio, who else is this? Smith,

00:22:07.859 --> 00:22:10.200
Thornton. Williams. Williams, yeah. He's getting

00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:11.799
in there and doing some stuff. But, yeah, they

00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:13.980
need somebody with a completely different mindset

00:22:13.980 --> 00:22:17.119
on special teams. Yeah. I wonder, you know, special

00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:20.740
teams also governs the kicking game. So I wonder

00:22:20.740 --> 00:22:23.160
how much of Butker's problems relate to the special

00:22:23.160 --> 00:22:27.799
teams coach. I would say a lot. Because the hate

00:22:27.799 --> 00:22:30.119
he got for when he spoke out about his family

00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:32.079
values was one thing, but that faded pretty quickly.

00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:34.039
Oh, yeah, and Dave Tobe is obviously a liberal.

00:22:34.220 --> 00:22:37.000
I wonder how well that pans out in the locker

00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:40.619
room, too. Yeah, yeah, because when he got criticism

00:22:40.619 --> 00:22:43.660
from Trump, and there's a long history of U .S.

00:22:43.680 --> 00:22:46.160
presidents weighing in on the NFL. That's not

00:22:46.160 --> 00:22:50.359
a new thing. That happens all the time. But for

00:22:50.359 --> 00:22:54.440
Tobe to... totally sidestep that and pretend

00:22:54.440 --> 00:22:56.940
it was about something else. Oh, I know. It's

00:22:56.940 --> 00:22:59.500
just stupid. No, no, no. It was wag the dog at

00:22:59.500 --> 00:23:03.420
its finest. You know what Trump said? It's like,

00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:05.859
no, we're talking about your job and your people.

00:23:06.019 --> 00:23:08.299
It seems like somebody who said, let's get Dave

00:23:08.299 --> 00:23:10.660
Tobe out in the media and have him say whatever

00:23:10.660 --> 00:23:14.859
the people want to hear. It's like have him pander

00:23:14.859 --> 00:23:18.480
to the Trump haters. I question that, though.

00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:22.299
We have so many... The Chiefs have so many fans

00:23:22.299 --> 00:23:27.640
in Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, rural Missouri, Arkansas,

00:23:28.440 --> 00:23:31.480
parts of Oklahoma, northern Oklahoma. Why would

00:23:31.480 --> 00:23:34.359
you, that did not get him any favors like he

00:23:34.359 --> 00:23:36.339
thought. There are some industries where you

00:23:36.339 --> 00:23:38.900
can take sides. Like, you know, if you're a rock

00:23:38.900 --> 00:23:43.220
band or you're an author or you own a small donut

00:23:43.220 --> 00:23:45.440
shop or something. But like you're a football

00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:49.079
team or your business makes and sells, you know,

00:23:49.079 --> 00:23:52.019
office equipment. It's stupid to publicly take

00:23:52.019 --> 00:23:55.200
sides on anything. I know, and he did that just

00:23:55.200 --> 00:23:58.779
to take the diversion. A diversion. Look over

00:23:58.779 --> 00:24:01.119
there. Quit looking at my job performance. Let's

00:24:01.119 --> 00:24:03.920
all focus on who we hate. Yes. He thought it

00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:05.460
was going to work, but all it did... It's so

00:24:05.460 --> 00:24:08.099
transparent. Yeah, everybody's just like me going,

00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:10.980
shut up. Yeah. I'll give you another example,

00:24:11.019 --> 00:24:15.599
too, about presidents weighing in. Wilmington,

00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:18.680
Delaware is a suburb of Philadelphia, and that's

00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:22.049
where... Joe Biden's from, the ex -president.

00:24:22.650 --> 00:24:25.210
He was on the sidelines of the Philadelphia game

00:24:25.210 --> 00:24:27.190
wearing one of their hats because he is from

00:24:27.190 --> 00:24:33.730
that area. Yeah. Okay. That's common practice.

00:24:33.970 --> 00:24:36.309
Yeah. That is common practice right there. Nobody

00:24:36.309 --> 00:24:38.029
said anything about that, although I did piss

00:24:38.029 --> 00:24:40.089
some people off. In the comments, I put, who

00:24:40.089 --> 00:24:44.369
put his hat on for him? I got a little bit of

00:24:44.369 --> 00:24:46.410
heat for that, but it was just a joke. I mean,

00:24:46.430 --> 00:24:52.119
you know, the guy drools. So, anyhow, bad taste

00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:54.640
maybe? I don't care. That's what I do. Yeah.

00:24:54.799 --> 00:24:58.240
Yeah, so get used to it. Strong running game,

00:24:58.359 --> 00:25:01.180
running game first, special teams. Need a new

00:25:01.180 --> 00:25:03.539
coach, we have the talent. Yeah. Chiefs need

00:25:03.539 --> 00:25:06.319
to be a more physical team. Very much more physical.

00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:11.750
We need to have bigger backs. And also. to counteract

00:25:11.750 --> 00:25:13.730
the bullshit that went on in this last game of

00:25:13.730 --> 00:25:16.150
delayed hitting. You come out there and do that

00:25:16.150 --> 00:25:18.269
to Justin Herbert three or four times and just

00:25:18.269 --> 00:25:21.049
knock the piss out of him. Yeah. And there you

00:25:21.049 --> 00:25:27.329
go. Yep. Yeah, get any defensive linebackers,

00:25:27.329 --> 00:25:31.009
yeah, but corners and safeties, get ones that

00:25:31.009 --> 00:25:34.049
hit like a bulldozer. Yes. Like Albert Lewis

00:25:34.049 --> 00:25:36.750
used to hit. Oh, Albert Lewis. Like Deron Cherry

00:25:36.750 --> 00:25:40.339
or Kevin Porter used to hit. These people I remember

00:25:40.339 --> 00:25:43.539
from the 80s. They would knock your mouth guard

00:25:43.539 --> 00:25:46.819
out in every hit. And it was a clean hit. They

00:25:46.819 --> 00:25:51.079
just hit with a ton of force. The Chiefs, the

00:25:51.079 --> 00:25:55.440
whole image I get from the Chiefs defense is

00:25:55.440 --> 00:25:58.619
they're doing a good job, but the first guy never

00:25:58.619 --> 00:26:00.849
makes the tackle. That's something they have

00:26:00.849 --> 00:26:02.930
to work on, and I think that's going to be part

00:26:02.930 --> 00:26:05.130
of the coaching right there. And how many times

00:26:05.130 --> 00:26:07.430
did the other team, the first guy not only makes

00:26:07.430 --> 00:26:09.650
the tackle, but he blows up the ball carrier?

00:26:09.990 --> 00:26:12.150
Yeah. Chiefs haven't done that more than a handful

00:26:12.150 --> 00:26:13.970
of times this season. Oh, I know. They're starting

00:26:13.970 --> 00:26:15.849
to do a little bit more as we go on, but it's

00:26:15.849 --> 00:26:18.130
a little too little, a little too late there.

00:26:18.829 --> 00:26:22.769
So Spagnuolo, you have to keep him. You don't

00:26:22.769 --> 00:26:24.450
get rid of him. But you have to get some new

00:26:24.450 --> 00:26:27.589
coaches in there under him that coach better.

00:26:28.189 --> 00:26:31.289
You have to coach them to finish a tackle and

00:26:31.289 --> 00:26:33.849
not just like, oh, no, fingernail it. What can

00:26:33.849 --> 00:26:38.809
happen? Almost, almost, no. I got a hand on them

00:26:38.809 --> 00:26:41.369
and slowed them down a little bit. Yay, you get

00:26:41.369 --> 00:26:45.369
the sticker on your locker. Yeah, yeah. Yeah,

00:26:46.410 --> 00:26:50.390
there's got to be a better way of doing it. And

00:26:50.390 --> 00:26:52.029
I also think that there needs to be a change

00:26:52.029 --> 00:26:55.009
of certain personnel. But we've got grades coming

00:26:55.009 --> 00:26:56.730
up, so we'll go into that a little bit later.

00:26:57.069 --> 00:27:00.009
And here is my whole thought on everything. And

00:27:00.009 --> 00:27:03.210
this is a system, almost in a nutshell, defense

00:27:03.210 --> 00:27:06.349
being good, maybe elite, maybe not, but close

00:27:06.349 --> 00:27:09.269
to. Defense holding people to 20 points a game,

00:27:09.329 --> 00:27:11.470
like they have been, or 19, or I think now it's

00:27:11.470 --> 00:27:14.390
like 18. That's fine. 18 points a game, you should

00:27:14.390 --> 00:27:16.970
win a majority of them. Yeah. No big deal. So,

00:27:16.990 --> 00:27:20.509
all right. You have to have a first -run team

00:27:20.509 --> 00:27:24.019
with a strong offensive line. With Mahomes only

00:27:24.019 --> 00:27:27.259
doing magic when needed. Yes. Not all the time.

00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:34.140
That puts it in a really good nutshell. It seems

00:27:34.140 --> 00:27:36.559
like he's approaching every single play as if

00:27:36.559 --> 00:27:38.859
it's, you know, got to make this play or the

00:27:38.859 --> 00:27:42.480
season's over. Yeah. And remember we were talking

00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:45.099
the other day about how women can smell desperation

00:27:45.099 --> 00:27:48.109
on men? Yes. When it comes to dating, it's the

00:27:48.109 --> 00:27:49.990
same way on the football team. The other team

00:27:49.990 --> 00:27:52.430
can smell the desperation on the Chiefs, and

00:27:52.430 --> 00:27:56.130
they're going to take advantage of it. So that

00:27:56.130 --> 00:27:59.150
attitude of every play has to be a spectacular

00:27:59.150 --> 00:28:01.349
game winner, you've got to knock that out of

00:28:01.349 --> 00:28:03.549
a home's head. Well, the way you do that is because

00:28:03.549 --> 00:28:05.150
you've got to correct the wrongs that are going

00:28:05.150 --> 00:28:06.809
on right now. You have to correct them. You have

00:28:06.809 --> 00:28:09.289
to get a strong defensive line to where he's

00:28:09.289 --> 00:28:11.599
not running for his life constantly. Does it

00:28:11.599 --> 00:28:14.059
really show – do you think it shows that Mahomes

00:28:14.059 --> 00:28:16.779
doesn't trust his own offense? Yes. That he has

00:28:16.779 --> 00:28:19.000
to do everything and make all these extra efforts

00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:21.380
and run for his life and stretch and put himself

00:28:21.380 --> 00:28:23.619
in harm's way because he doesn't think the other

00:28:23.619 --> 00:28:26.299
ten guys are going to get it done. Yeah, I agree.

00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:28.400
That's how it looks to me. That's what it looks

00:28:28.400 --> 00:28:30.099
like to me too. Yeah, so you've got to build

00:28:30.099 --> 00:28:33.259
up the trust again in Mahomes that the other

00:28:33.259 --> 00:28:35.160
ten guys out there know what they're doing and

00:28:35.160 --> 00:28:38.240
can do it and can get it done without him having

00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:40.359
to make every play. Yeah. That's going to take

00:28:40.359 --> 00:28:43.049
a bit. Well, they're going to have to coach that

00:28:43.049 --> 00:28:44.890
out of him, which is not going to be easy, because

00:28:44.890 --> 00:28:46.750
right now the first thing he does is run out

00:28:46.750 --> 00:28:48.829
of the pocket. Yes. When there's time or not,

00:28:48.930 --> 00:28:52.309
he runs out of the pocket. And ever since a guy,

00:28:52.450 --> 00:28:55.869
it was Romo that mentioned it in a game a while

00:28:55.869 --> 00:28:58.910
back, when Mahomes drops back, he goes through

00:28:58.910 --> 00:29:02.029
his progression of receivers way too fast, and

00:29:02.029 --> 00:29:05.190
he never comes back to anybody. It's like, bip,

00:29:05.269 --> 00:29:07.650
bip, bip, throw, or bip, bip, bip, run, run,

00:29:07.769 --> 00:29:10.930
run, run, desperation throw. And there's so many

00:29:10.930 --> 00:29:13.509
times when the first guy he looks at, who's usually

00:29:13.509 --> 00:29:16.769
his primary, isn't open yet, he moves on, but

00:29:16.769 --> 00:29:19.170
if he came back, the guy's open now. And there

00:29:19.170 --> 00:29:21.589
have been so many times when Kelsey's open, Rice

00:29:21.589 --> 00:29:25.450
is open, Brown is open, but Mahomes doesn't bother

00:29:25.450 --> 00:29:28.630
to even look. He's already dismissed them. It's

00:29:28.630 --> 00:29:31.009
like they weren't open the moment he looked at

00:29:31.009 --> 00:29:32.650
them, so for the rest of the play, they don't

00:29:32.650 --> 00:29:35.349
exist. And that comes from no offensive line.

00:29:35.509 --> 00:29:37.690
Yeah. That comes from that. Yeah, I don't have

00:29:37.690 --> 00:29:39.529
time to come back and look again. I've got to

00:29:39.529 --> 00:29:41.410
throw this damn thing as soon as I find somebody,

00:29:41.410 --> 00:29:43.410
anybody to throw it to. Oh, God, now I've got

00:29:43.410 --> 00:29:46.390
to run again. That's how he looks to me every

00:29:46.390 --> 00:29:49.990
single game. Yeah. And his career is going to

00:29:49.990 --> 00:29:52.190
last about two more years that way. Yeah, he's

00:29:52.190 --> 00:29:54.150
got to. Two more bad years. Yeah, two more bad

00:29:54.150 --> 00:29:57.650
years. They have to start protecting him. And

00:29:57.650 --> 00:30:00.470
it's going to be, I don't know, his smart guy

00:30:00.470 --> 00:30:02.990
has a lot of great instinct, despite what people

00:30:02.990 --> 00:30:06.000
say. Yeah. I mean. Five trips to the Super Bowl,

00:30:06.099 --> 00:30:08.440
three wins, I think that speaks for itself. Yeah.

00:30:08.940 --> 00:30:11.460
But they're going to have to coach this out of

00:30:11.460 --> 00:30:13.180
him, which isn't going to be real easy because

00:30:13.180 --> 00:30:15.799
once you start getting those happy feet, it's

00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:19.359
hard to unhappy them. Yes. As soon as you hear

00:30:19.359 --> 00:30:22.119
footsteps, you're like, oh, shit, here it comes.

00:30:22.299 --> 00:30:24.400
Yeah, it's going to be not only confidence in

00:30:24.400 --> 00:30:27.920
the team, but confidence in himself to know when

00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:31.910
to stand in, when to bail. And if he does get

00:30:31.910 --> 00:30:33.650
hits, like, all right, well, they got me that

00:30:33.650 --> 00:30:35.109
time, but they're not going to get me next time.

00:30:35.430 --> 00:30:37.869
Okay, let's go to play calling real quick. And

00:30:37.869 --> 00:30:40.450
I've got a great example. Okay, one of the reasons

00:30:40.450 --> 00:30:42.710
we're not scoring nearly as many points is this.

00:30:43.109 --> 00:30:46.670
Remember those wide open plays that no one could

00:30:46.670 --> 00:30:48.829
get to you? You caught the ball before they hit

00:30:48.829 --> 00:30:51.549
you? Yeah. That's not happening. No. We're not

00:30:51.549 --> 00:30:55.309
fooling people. No separation. We had, look at

00:30:55.309 --> 00:30:57.529
two years ago, the Philadelphia Super Bowl that

00:30:57.529 --> 00:31:00.119
we won. Look at some of those plays where, like,

00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:03.299
you had someone in the middle, wide fucking open,

00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:06.420
no one around him, and you got the people baffled,

00:31:06.440 --> 00:31:08.400
the commentators going, how did that happen?

00:31:08.400 --> 00:31:11.579
There's not anyone within 100 miles. Runs in

00:31:11.579 --> 00:31:13.819
that zone. You have someone right next to him.

00:31:14.079 --> 00:31:16.140
He's hitting him as hard as he can. Half the

00:31:16.140 --> 00:31:17.859
time the ball comes out, half the time he stays

00:31:17.859 --> 00:31:21.259
right there. And then you got a third and goal

00:31:21.259 --> 00:31:23.859
from the 12 because you got a couple of penalties.

00:31:24.779 --> 00:31:29.279
So everything that they're doing. they're not

00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:32.920
doing it correct right now. Yeah, yeah. It's

00:31:32.920 --> 00:31:34.960
sad to see him hanging on to things that used

00:31:34.960 --> 00:31:37.079
to work instead of realizing this isn't working

00:31:37.079 --> 00:31:39.420
anymore and we need to figure out something else.

00:31:39.500 --> 00:31:41.960
The play calling, I think, is exactly what it

00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:44.640
is and what I said earlier. You don't worry about

00:31:44.640 --> 00:31:47.619
those trick plays. You have a hard -nosed, Marty

00:31:47.619 --> 00:31:50.099
Schottenheimer -type team that gets out there

00:31:50.099 --> 00:31:53.420
and runs the ball, but Mahomes can do these Caleb

00:31:53.420 --> 00:31:56.079
William things. That's what they're doing in

00:31:56.079 --> 00:31:58.819
Chicago. Strong running game, and Caleb Williams

00:31:58.819 --> 00:32:00.640
every now and then throws you a little magic.

00:32:00.900 --> 00:32:03.700
And it has everyone go, whoa, where was that?

00:32:04.279 --> 00:32:07.299
I've seen in a number of games this season on

00:32:07.299 --> 00:32:14.000
play calling that they'll get into, you know,

00:32:14.059 --> 00:32:15.900
a drive is going. They're about in the middle

00:32:15.900 --> 00:32:19.200
of the field. And on first down, they try some

00:32:19.200 --> 00:32:22.099
ridiculous bomb to the end zone. It's an all

00:32:22.099 --> 00:32:24.160
-or -nothing play, and it usually winds up nothing

00:32:24.160 --> 00:32:25.880
the way our passing game is going this year.

00:32:26.039 --> 00:32:29.420
Oh, yeah. So now it's second and 10. And you

00:32:29.420 --> 00:32:32.119
have a holding call. So now it's second and 20.

00:32:32.900 --> 00:32:35.359
And they give the ball to Pacheco, who gets two

00:32:35.359 --> 00:32:38.640
yards. Now it's third and 18. And it happens

00:32:38.640 --> 00:32:41.319
over and over and over and over. The play calling

00:32:41.319 --> 00:32:43.440
is so screwed up that they're getting into third

00:32:43.440 --> 00:32:45.740
and long. And even when they get into, like,

00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:47.680
third and two, third and three. They're still

00:32:47.680 --> 00:32:49.539
not making it. He's still trying the long bomb

00:32:49.539 --> 00:32:51.599
down the field. It's like, throw the ball for

00:32:51.599 --> 00:32:53.680
five freaking yards and let's keep this drive

00:32:53.680 --> 00:32:55.799
going. But, nope, let's gamble everything on

00:32:55.799 --> 00:32:58.119
this long throw all the way down that doesn't

00:32:58.119 --> 00:33:00.220
work. And it's like, oh, damn, well, here we

00:33:00.220 --> 00:33:02.319
go. And all the rest of the drive is wasted.

00:33:02.799 --> 00:33:05.200
Utterly wasted. Let's talk about Gardner Minshew,

00:33:05.279 --> 00:33:08.079
okay? And you're talking about how going and

00:33:08.079 --> 00:33:09.940
throwing the ball when you shouldn't. Mm -hmm.

00:33:10.349 --> 00:33:12.509
That's what ended to the demise of the Chiefs

00:33:12.509 --> 00:33:14.390
this year right there. Well, my home's going

00:33:14.390 --> 00:33:18.890
down, but okay. Gardner Minshew should have had

00:33:18.890 --> 00:33:21.750
that ball ran, and I'm pretty sure the play was

00:33:21.750 --> 00:33:23.809
called in. He didn't do it himself. He's a backup

00:33:23.809 --> 00:33:27.250
quarterback. So that play call was to throw.

00:33:27.450 --> 00:33:30.690
Why? You're already at field goal range. Yeah.

00:33:30.849 --> 00:33:35.490
Yeah. The object is to not turn the ball over

00:33:35.490 --> 00:33:37.789
and give yourself a shot at winning the game.

00:33:37.970 --> 00:33:41.420
They did everything but that. Yeah, yeah. And

00:33:41.420 --> 00:33:43.839
I would even go as far as say call plays that

00:33:43.839 --> 00:33:47.299
you are unlikely to commit penalties on. Yes,

00:33:47.319 --> 00:33:49.019
that's the other thing. Running plays, generally

00:33:49.019 --> 00:33:52.079
you commit a penalty on, don't you, Chiefs? They

00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:55.680
do. Yeah, they do. Yeah. Yeah, the play calling

00:33:55.680 --> 00:34:00.380
is... Horrendous. It's like they're out of touch

00:34:00.380 --> 00:34:02.779
with what's really going on and how the team's

00:34:02.779 --> 00:34:04.680
performing. It's like, well, if I just call these

00:34:04.680 --> 00:34:07.099
plays, then they'll force them to step up and

00:34:07.099 --> 00:34:10.119
perform. Uh -uh. I... I compare the Chiefs offense

00:34:10.119 --> 00:34:13.539
to the guy that still drives around in a 1970s

00:34:13.539 --> 00:34:17.139
van and wears really tight Levi's and a button

00:34:17.139 --> 00:34:20.579
-up shirt and a bandana. He never did get off

00:34:20.579 --> 00:34:24.780
the fucking pot. He stayed there. He stayed in

00:34:24.780 --> 00:34:29.619
the 1970 fucking 7 or 8 or 1980. He stayed there.

00:34:29.699 --> 00:34:31.679
The Chiefs stayed where they're at. They didn't

00:34:31.679 --> 00:34:35.760
progress. And I get it. It's working. Keep doing

00:34:35.760 --> 00:34:38.139
it. It's not working. You've got to recognize

00:34:38.139 --> 00:34:41.860
when it stops working. I would hope it's recognized

00:34:41.860 --> 00:34:46.159
now. Oh, gosh. And Andy Reid. He needs to not

00:34:46.159 --> 00:34:48.780
talk so much anymore. He needs to just get out

00:34:48.780 --> 00:34:52.179
there and do a Bill Belichick. Yeah. Well, we're

00:34:52.179 --> 00:34:54.820
working on everything, and we've got a plan.

00:34:54.900 --> 00:34:57.760
We're going to try to implement it the best we

00:34:57.760 --> 00:35:00.739
can. Thank you. Bye. Yeah. Go out and say the

00:35:00.739 --> 00:35:02.719
usual stuff that means nothing, and everyone's

00:35:02.719 --> 00:35:04.719
used to hearing, and then leave. Yeah, and nobody

00:35:04.719 --> 00:35:07.460
cares. They're just like, it's just Bill Belichick

00:35:07.460 --> 00:35:09.960
saying nothing. Let's go. He's fulfilled his

00:35:09.960 --> 00:35:12.519
legal obligation under his contract to show up

00:35:12.519 --> 00:35:14.000
and talk to the press and answer the questions.

00:35:14.000 --> 00:35:15.800
I love it personally. It's brilliant. It's like,

00:35:15.800 --> 00:35:18.159
you know, I'll get out there. I'm not going to

00:35:18.159 --> 00:35:19.820
say anything, but I'm going to go out there.

00:35:19.920 --> 00:35:22.380
Yeah. Well, and I know how it spawned people

00:35:22.380 --> 00:35:25.219
criticizing for everything he said, analyzing

00:35:25.219 --> 00:35:27.559
every second of it. Holding it against you, saying,

00:35:27.679 --> 00:35:30.420
well, three weeks ago you said this. What's changed?

00:35:30.500 --> 00:35:33.000
And it's out of context. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So

00:35:33.000 --> 00:35:40.610
I get it. I definitely get that. So, anyhow,

00:35:41.030 --> 00:35:45.050
I mean, yeah. You got something you want to go

00:35:45.050 --> 00:35:48.690
into? Well, if we're going to stick on the Chiefs,

00:35:48.690 --> 00:35:51.409
I'd be happy to go into the grades. Okay, yeah.

00:35:51.469 --> 00:35:57.610
Go ahead, and then I'll go into mine. Overall

00:35:57.610 --> 00:36:03.989
offense, I'm going to give them a C. Offensive

00:36:03.989 --> 00:36:08.989
line gets a D. The stupid penalties, the lining

00:36:08.989 --> 00:36:12.989
up offside, the false starts, the lining up too

00:36:12.989 --> 00:36:19.389
far back, kind of stupid stuff. The running game,

00:36:19.570 --> 00:36:22.210
I don't think it's the running backs' fault,

00:36:22.289 --> 00:36:25.690
but the entire running game gets an F. They do.

00:36:25.869 --> 00:36:30.570
The running game was basically unimportant and

00:36:30.570 --> 00:36:32.849
didn't mean anything for most games. There was

00:36:32.849 --> 00:36:34.650
a game or two where the running game was important.

00:36:35.320 --> 00:36:37.320
The rest of the season was like, running game?

00:36:37.539 --> 00:36:41.599
How funny. Yeah, yeah. So they get an F. A five

00:36:41.599 --> 00:36:45.219
-yard pass is a run. No, it isn't. No. No. It's

00:36:45.219 --> 00:36:47.239
a pass. Because an incomplete pass stops the

00:36:47.239 --> 00:36:50.659
clock. A run stop for no gain keeps the clock

00:36:50.659 --> 00:36:53.239
running. Yes. Big difference. Big difference.

00:36:53.599 --> 00:36:58.820
So, okay. Mahomes is getting a C. That's the

00:36:58.820 --> 00:37:00.960
same one I gave him, too, a C. The receiving

00:37:00.960 --> 00:37:04.769
core gets a D. Little flashes of brilliance here

00:37:04.769 --> 00:37:08.929
and there. Kelsey gets a D. The other two tight

00:37:08.929 --> 00:37:12.150
ends get an F. Because as bad as Kelsey was playing,

00:37:12.269 --> 00:37:14.630
the other two couldn't get him off the field.

00:37:14.869 --> 00:37:19.750
No, I agree. Defense -wise, overall, I'll give

00:37:19.750 --> 00:37:24.869
him a B+. Secondary gets a B. The linebackers

00:37:24.869 --> 00:37:31.880
get a B to B+. The D line gets a D. Because for

00:37:31.880 --> 00:37:34.159
all the talent and all the money, they are so

00:37:34.159 --> 00:37:37.239
underperforming. I think you're being generous

00:37:37.239 --> 00:37:39.360
with the D. Yeah, I think Guy Mills, well, let's

00:37:39.360 --> 00:37:43.480
put a D minus. That's what I got. You paid those

00:37:43.480 --> 00:37:46.280
four guys, or at least some of them, enormous

00:37:46.280 --> 00:37:49.960
amounts of money. And despite the fact that a

00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:52.480
lot of the teams get by just fine with a four

00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:54.900
-man rush, the Chiefs couldn't. The four -man

00:37:54.900 --> 00:37:58.179
rush never worked all season long. They had to

00:37:58.179 --> 00:38:00.860
blitz two or three more people. The only guy

00:38:00.860 --> 00:38:03.420
I've seen really kind of toting his weight out

00:38:03.420 --> 00:38:05.780
there is Karloftis. Yeah, Karloftis is doing

00:38:05.780 --> 00:38:08.840
well. He's doing as well as he can with virtually

00:38:08.840 --> 00:38:13.480
no support from a Manahew and Jones. Yeah, he's

00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:16.579
basically single -handedly, you see 56 in there

00:38:16.579 --> 00:38:19.400
constantly. Yeah, I've seen him chase people

00:38:19.400 --> 00:38:23.460
into Chris Jones' grasp. fails to make the tackle.

00:38:23.619 --> 00:38:25.739
I've seen that several times this year. Yeah,

00:38:25.739 --> 00:38:27.639
that worked last year, didn't work this year.

00:38:27.780 --> 00:38:30.780
No, because Chris Jones couldn't tackle him this

00:38:30.780 --> 00:38:32.800
year for whatever reason. Yeah, too much money

00:38:32.800 --> 00:38:35.760
in his wallet. Probably. It's hampering his tackling

00:38:35.760 --> 00:38:37.940
abilities. Yeah, yeah, it's weighing him down.

00:38:42.139 --> 00:38:49.039
Special teams, F. Yeah. Butker, for the kicking

00:38:49.039 --> 00:38:53.840
game, gets a C. Mm -hmm. The punter, Matt Ariza,

00:38:53.860 --> 00:38:56.380
did great all season long. He did great. He gets

00:38:56.380 --> 00:38:59.079
an A. He was awesome, yeah. I mean, he did so

00:38:59.079 --> 00:39:04.739
many of these 10, 12 -yard line punts. Yeah,

00:39:04.840 --> 00:39:07.119
every time you pin him inside the 20 is great.

00:39:07.179 --> 00:39:09.159
Every time you pin him inside the 10 is, like,

00:39:09.159 --> 00:39:11.400
super great. Yeah, but it didn't matter because

00:39:11.400 --> 00:39:13.659
every time we stopped him at fourth down down

00:39:13.659 --> 00:39:15.659
there, someone committed a penalty and gave him

00:39:15.659 --> 00:39:19.400
a first down. So, you know, but still, yeah.

00:39:21.280 --> 00:39:23.280
The punter seems like the highlight of the team

00:39:23.280 --> 00:39:26.760
so far this year. Yeah, he is pretty much. The

00:39:26.760 --> 00:39:29.159
punter and the secondary. Yeah, they're the only

00:39:29.159 --> 00:39:31.579
ones consistently doing a good job. Consistently.

00:39:33.159 --> 00:39:37.159
You got any more grades or is that pretty much

00:39:37.159 --> 00:39:40.800
it? Coaching staff gets an F because they had

00:39:40.800 --> 00:39:44.460
it all and they just let it all slip away. Yeah.

00:39:46.349 --> 00:39:49.750
I don't know if it's ego or money saving or believing

00:39:49.750 --> 00:39:54.269
their own press or... All. Yeah. Complacency.

00:39:54.530 --> 00:39:56.369
Oh, we're good enough. Look how great we did

00:39:56.369 --> 00:39:58.030
last year. We'll just do this, this, and yeah,

00:39:58.070 --> 00:40:02.309
we'll be fine. With 50 % that. Yeah. 50 % that

00:40:02.309 --> 00:40:04.829
and the other one's just like, oh, well, we always

00:40:04.829 --> 00:40:06.849
find a way. We always find a way. Well, sometimes

00:40:06.849 --> 00:40:09.050
you don't find a way. Yeah. And it's been proven.

00:40:09.469 --> 00:40:11.610
And when you know all of your competitors out

00:40:11.610 --> 00:40:14.329
there are scrutinizing every single play you

00:40:14.329 --> 00:40:16.530
had the season before, and they have professionals

00:40:16.530 --> 00:40:18.530
looking at it the way you have professionals.

00:40:18.849 --> 00:40:21.929
Yeah. You know, they've got their medical staff

00:40:21.929 --> 00:40:24.429
looking and seeing people's, you know, oh, look,

00:40:24.489 --> 00:40:26.610
he's favoring this arm. Oh, look, he can't raise

00:40:26.610 --> 00:40:28.510
his left arm that high. Like we talked about

00:40:28.510 --> 00:40:30.510
Mahomes' knee. Yeah. They all looked at that.

00:40:31.000 --> 00:40:33.159
All of it's getting analyzed and scrutinized.

00:40:33.159 --> 00:40:36.059
They have psychologists and human behavioral

00:40:36.059 --> 00:40:38.579
specialists who are looking at the body language

00:40:38.579 --> 00:40:41.559
of the team and the coaches to say, these people

00:40:41.559 --> 00:40:44.599
are demoralized. This guy's struggling physically

00:40:44.599 --> 00:40:47.360
and mentally. Let's go after him. That's all

00:40:47.360 --> 00:40:49.559
fair game. It's like the boxer who gets a cut

00:40:49.559 --> 00:40:52.340
over his eye, his opponent hammers that cut over

00:40:52.340 --> 00:40:53.980
and over. It's what you do. It's part of the

00:40:53.980 --> 00:40:58.179
game. Yeah, so anything that's not illegal, other

00:40:58.179 --> 00:41:00.639
teams are going to do to exploit the Chiefs.

00:41:00.639 --> 00:41:02.920
Exactly. And even some illegal things until they

00:41:02.920 --> 00:41:05.739
get caught. Yes, and it's a copycat league. One,

00:41:06.059 --> 00:41:10.019
the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl exposed

00:41:10.019 --> 00:41:12.960
some things. They figured it out. They sat back.

00:41:13.519 --> 00:41:16.119
kept quiet, and sprung out. It's like you said

00:41:16.119 --> 00:41:19.179
on the way down here, they showed the league

00:41:19.179 --> 00:41:21.880
that the Chiefs are a fast team, but not a physical

00:41:21.880 --> 00:41:23.920
team. Exactly. And all you have to do is crack

00:41:23.920 --> 00:41:26.019
them in the mouth once or twice, and they start

00:41:26.019 --> 00:41:29.559
crying. Yeah, and it was, I mean, it's not even

00:41:29.559 --> 00:41:32.349
questionable. It was preponderance of evidence

00:41:32.349 --> 00:41:36.369
right off the bat. It was, I mean, we knew the

00:41:36.369 --> 00:41:38.909
game was over halfway in the first quarter because

00:41:38.909 --> 00:41:43.650
of just the domination that they were giving

00:41:43.650 --> 00:41:47.690
us. I mean, they were just like nothing. We didn't

00:41:47.690 --> 00:41:50.630
have an answer for anything. Yeah, yeah. It's

00:41:50.630 --> 00:41:53.489
like the big brother who's in high school, you

00:41:53.489 --> 00:41:56.239
know. comes over where you and your grade school

00:41:56.239 --> 00:41:58.579
friends are and just pushes you all around, there's

00:41:58.579 --> 00:42:00.820
nothing you can do about it. That's how it looks.

00:42:00.920 --> 00:42:04.400
And it's not like this season went off the rails

00:42:04.400 --> 00:42:07.059
somewhere. It's like the whole season was this

00:42:07.059 --> 00:42:10.840
way. When it started to cave in, the whole thing

00:42:10.840 --> 00:42:13.079
fell through. It's good to remember the Chiefs

00:42:13.079 --> 00:42:16.659
did not win two in a row all season long. They

00:42:16.659 --> 00:42:20.980
have not won two in a row. If you ever wonder

00:42:20.980 --> 00:42:25.880
what caliber that is, Look up the teams that

00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:27.880
have not won two in a row through the years.

00:42:28.139 --> 00:42:30.639
Look it up. Just go to chatbot. Yeah. And get

00:42:30.639 --> 00:42:34.900
a list of all these teams and their final record,

00:42:34.940 --> 00:42:37.420
and you tell me what kind of company that's in.

00:42:37.619 --> 00:42:40.639
And the bad thing is that out of all those teams,

00:42:40.719 --> 00:42:43.019
the Chiefs are probably the most talented of

00:42:43.019 --> 00:42:45.980
the teams. That's the issue right there. That's

00:42:45.980 --> 00:42:50.480
the issue. God. Of course, we could still – we

00:42:50.480 --> 00:42:55.340
have – another couple of chances to win two in

00:42:55.340 --> 00:42:58.000
a row this season. Because we have three games

00:42:58.000 --> 00:43:00.019
left. We could win the next two or we could win

00:43:00.019 --> 00:43:01.280
the last two. Let's say we've got the Titans.

00:43:02.199 --> 00:43:05.860
Titans. Raiders. Raiders and then Broncos. Okay,

00:43:05.900 --> 00:43:07.239
we might win both of those. So we might be able

00:43:07.239 --> 00:43:09.219
to win Titans, Raiders, and then lose to the

00:43:09.219 --> 00:43:12.480
Broncos. I'm kind of hoping. Or the Broncos are

00:43:12.480 --> 00:43:13.940
probably going to be arresting everybody. We

00:43:13.940 --> 00:43:15.059
might be able to beat them. Yeah, we'll probably

00:43:15.059 --> 00:43:17.219
beat them. Like last year, opposite of last year

00:43:17.219 --> 00:43:20.519
where they're just like, whatever. Except Cincinnati

00:43:20.519 --> 00:43:23.329
won't be there to whine. Yeah. Yeah. You guys

00:43:23.329 --> 00:43:25.570
do that on purpose. You don't want to face us.

00:43:25.690 --> 00:43:27.550
It's like, no, we don't want to get our guys

00:43:27.550 --> 00:43:29.889
killed, so fuck off. Yeah. You guys take care

00:43:29.889 --> 00:43:33.949
of you. We take care of us. Deal? All right.

00:43:33.989 --> 00:43:37.369
I got some grades here. Okay. All right. Overall,

00:43:37.590 --> 00:43:41.469
offense gets an F -. Oh, yeah. Patrick Mahomes

00:43:41.469 --> 00:43:46.610
gets a C. Travis Kelsey gets a C. Although he

00:43:46.610 --> 00:43:49.289
is having a decent season, all the drop passes.

00:43:49.610 --> 00:43:54.760
Yeah. Hollywood Brown gets a negative 50. Yeah.

00:43:55.260 --> 00:43:58.780
Yeah, he was so much hype and so much. I never

00:43:58.780 --> 00:44:00.420
did like him. Especially since Rasheed Rice was

00:44:00.420 --> 00:44:01.880
going to be suspended. It was like, Hollywood

00:44:01.880 --> 00:44:05.260
Brown, Hollywood Brown. Yeah, when they talked

00:44:05.260 --> 00:44:06.739
about him and signed him, it was like, really?

00:44:07.119 --> 00:44:08.960
That's what I thought. I looked at his numbers

00:44:08.960 --> 00:44:10.780
over in Arizona and everything. Like maybe Antonio

00:44:10.780 --> 00:44:14.940
Brown in his prime. Hollywood Brown, he's never

00:44:14.940 --> 00:44:18.619
had that great of a fucking season. Never. I

00:44:18.619 --> 00:44:21.460
don't know what they saw in him. At all. And

00:44:21.460 --> 00:44:24.159
now I think it's proven right. We're like, why

00:44:24.159 --> 00:44:27.480
did you hire this guy? Maybe another chief staffer

00:44:27.480 --> 00:44:29.980
trying to show how clever he is by picking somebody

00:44:29.980 --> 00:44:33.300
out of the blue and having it work out. Or it's

00:44:33.300 --> 00:44:35.219
the only one they could afford, maybe. I don't

00:44:35.219 --> 00:44:36.340
know. It could be a little bit of everything,

00:44:36.500 --> 00:44:40.059
but it's not working. Xavier Worthy, see him.

00:44:40.559 --> 00:44:45.670
Yeah. Rushie Rice gets an F. Yeah. And I'm sorry,

00:44:45.769 --> 00:44:47.610
he's made some big plays, but he's also made

00:44:47.610 --> 00:44:49.750
some bumbling plays. And also the fact that he

00:44:49.750 --> 00:44:52.289
missed six games because of stupidity. Yes. All

00:44:52.289 --> 00:44:54.530
that goes together, he gets an F. Yeah, yeah.

00:44:54.650 --> 00:44:57.550
He chose to screw up this whole season from the

00:44:57.550 --> 00:45:00.429
beginning. Yes. From his perspective. Uh -huh.

00:45:00.449 --> 00:45:04.269
And as you said, the good plays he made are way

00:45:04.269 --> 00:45:07.030
outweighed by the fact that he wasn't there and

00:45:07.030 --> 00:45:11.670
the just utter disaster that really important

00:45:11.670 --> 00:45:13.929
plays we needed and the ball would just bounce

00:45:13.929 --> 00:45:17.440
off him. Yeah. Or he was like three feet past

00:45:17.440 --> 00:45:19.940
where he was supposed to be. He isn't the automatic

00:45:19.940 --> 00:45:22.519
that he is supposed to. And he was supposed to

00:45:22.519 --> 00:45:25.000
be the franchise quarter receiver. That's what

00:45:25.000 --> 00:45:27.119
the organization is saying. He looks like number

00:45:27.119 --> 00:45:29.699
three to me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think Thornton

00:45:29.699 --> 00:45:33.539
is way more likely to be a number one than Rice.

00:45:33.579 --> 00:45:36.099
Yeah, and Thornton needs to get a little bit

00:45:36.099 --> 00:45:39.840
better at ball handling. He can get open. He

00:45:39.840 --> 00:45:42.760
can catch that catch. But you have to tuck it

00:45:42.760 --> 00:45:45.139
in quickly before that guy comes up and hits

00:45:45.139 --> 00:45:47.800
you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He still looks like the

00:45:47.800 --> 00:45:50.260
rookie he is. He is. Well, he's not a rookie.

00:45:50.619 --> 00:45:54.440
No, second year? Or third. He was with the Patriots

00:45:54.440 --> 00:45:55.880
and they released him. Oh, that's right. That's

00:45:55.880 --> 00:45:58.119
right. Okay. I'm thinking of somebody else that

00:45:58.119 --> 00:45:59.940
was a rookie. No, I know who you're thinking.

00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:01.860
Everyone thinks it's that guy, but it's not.

00:46:01.980 --> 00:46:05.929
I know. I know who you're thinking of. No, he

00:46:05.929 --> 00:46:08.409
was with the Patriots, and they released him.

00:46:08.510 --> 00:46:10.650
That's right. I remember that now. But it doesn't

00:46:10.650 --> 00:46:13.030
matter. I mean, still, we know what we have there.

00:46:13.110 --> 00:46:15.030
And also, he's very young, so he's pretty much

00:46:15.030 --> 00:46:16.730
a rookie because he didn't hardly play up there.

00:46:16.889 --> 00:46:18.750
Yeah. So you could call him a rookie, really.

00:46:18.969 --> 00:46:24.269
True. He gets a B -. Noah Gray gets an F -. Yeah.

00:46:24.309 --> 00:46:26.610
He was supposed to progress and become a very

00:46:26.610 --> 00:46:29.309
solid backup, if not the heir apparent. I don't

00:46:29.309 --> 00:46:33.030
see that at all. Yeah. At all. Not even close.

00:46:34.699 --> 00:46:37.179
I'm going to go to the offensive line. They get

00:46:37.179 --> 00:46:41.539
an F -. Trey Smith gets a B. Creed Humphrey gets

00:46:41.539 --> 00:46:45.360
a B -. And I like to say this. It could be because

00:46:45.360 --> 00:46:47.360
they're overworked and asked to do too much.

00:46:47.420 --> 00:46:50.719
They probably are as good as they're hyped. They're

00:46:50.719 --> 00:46:54.719
asked to block three people. And you kind of

00:46:54.719 --> 00:46:57.360
look silly trying to block three people. You

00:46:57.360 --> 00:46:59.500
kind of get burnt trying to block three people.

00:47:00.260 --> 00:47:04.099
Jawan Taylor gets a C. And the only reason he

00:47:04.099 --> 00:47:06.840
was raised to a C is because they're definitively

00:47:06.840 --> 00:47:09.019
better with him in there, even though he gets

00:47:09.019 --> 00:47:10.940
penalties. When he's not committing a penalty,

00:47:11.059 --> 00:47:12.960
he does a really good job on pass protection.

00:47:13.300 --> 00:47:17.239
If they could tune him to at least cut those

00:47:17.239 --> 00:47:20.320
penalties in half, he has cut a lot of them out.

00:47:20.719 --> 00:47:22.840
But if they could get him to cut them in half,

00:47:23.079 --> 00:47:26.460
he would be a very reliable... I think they need

00:47:26.460 --> 00:47:29.190
to, before the game, have him make... fists out

00:47:29.190 --> 00:47:31.690
of each hand and then wrap them completely in

00:47:31.690 --> 00:47:34.389
tape where he's just got clubs and he can't use

00:47:34.389 --> 00:47:36.389
his fingers, therefore he can't grab anybody.

00:47:36.690 --> 00:47:38.829
I love that idea. The only way he could hold

00:47:38.829 --> 00:47:40.989
would be hooking an entire arm around somebody.

00:47:41.269 --> 00:47:43.650
But yeah, tape his hands up to where he can't

00:47:43.650 --> 00:47:45.869
grab, he can't hold, he can't grip. And then

00:47:45.869 --> 00:47:48.269
the fall starts. He's gotten better at that,

00:47:48.329 --> 00:47:49.949
but he's got to get better at that too. But the

00:47:49.949 --> 00:47:52.989
holding calls killed us. Yeah. His holding calls

00:47:52.989 --> 00:47:56.940
were at the worst time. Yeah. Now part of that

00:47:56.940 --> 00:47:59.539
is the officials are waiting because the officials

00:47:59.539 --> 00:48:03.280
have said and journalists have said and hosts

00:48:03.280 --> 00:48:05.599
have said and players have said they could call

00:48:05.599 --> 00:48:07.599
holding on every play because holding occurs

00:48:07.599 --> 00:48:11.159
in some fashion on every single play. Yeah. So

00:48:11.159 --> 00:48:14.079
that tells me the officials are waiting until

00:48:14.079 --> 00:48:16.699
it makes a difference, then they call it. That's

00:48:16.699 --> 00:48:18.400
why I say if you bet on the NFL, you're a fool

00:48:18.400 --> 00:48:21.800
in my opinion because the holding call is so

00:48:21.800 --> 00:48:26.170
subject to the referee. Yeah. He could just not

00:48:26.170 --> 00:48:30.250
like something you said to him. If you bet on

00:48:30.250 --> 00:48:32.489
the NFL, then I've got a fuel pump for a Tesla

00:48:32.489 --> 00:48:42.289
I want to sell you. Like that went a lot. Okay,

00:48:42.409 --> 00:48:45.570
so Jawan Taylor gets a C. Kingsley Suamatia,

00:48:45.730 --> 00:48:49.090
I think is how it's pronounced. Yeah. Okay, gets

00:48:49.090 --> 00:48:51.929
a B. Yeah, he did well. He did well when they

00:48:51.929 --> 00:48:54.610
switched him up. Yeah, yes, he did very well.

00:48:55.159 --> 00:48:57.119
And he's very encouraging because he's still

00:48:57.119 --> 00:49:00.360
learning. Yeah. Josh Simmons gets an F. Yeah.

00:49:00.440 --> 00:49:02.880
I'm sorry. When he was in there, he did a decent

00:49:02.880 --> 00:49:05.820
job. But the lack of him being there lowered

00:49:05.820 --> 00:49:08.739
him to an F. Yeah. Next season, if he's in there

00:49:08.739 --> 00:49:11.960
that much, he's going to be on the practice squad.

00:49:12.159 --> 00:49:16.619
Yeah. I mean, he has to be able to complete a

00:49:16.619 --> 00:49:19.519
full season. Yes. And play almost every down.

00:49:19.719 --> 00:49:24.190
Yes. Yeah. You need your O -line. And your D

00:49:24.190 --> 00:49:26.429
-line to some degree too, but especially the

00:49:26.429 --> 00:49:28.429
O -line, to be able to communicate with each

00:49:28.429 --> 00:49:33.269
other without words. They line up, the O -line

00:49:33.269 --> 00:49:35.269
looks at the defense, and they all just know

00:49:35.269 --> 00:49:37.869
because they've worked together so long. The

00:49:37.869 --> 00:49:39.690
center's looking at it and saying, okay, I know

00:49:39.690 --> 00:49:42.130
the left guard is going to do this, and I know

00:49:42.130 --> 00:49:45.369
the right tackle's going to do this, so my responsibilities

00:49:45.369 --> 00:49:48.329
are going to be this and this. You've got to

00:49:48.329 --> 00:49:52.329
be in all season. build up that rapport and just,

00:49:52.429 --> 00:49:55.110
you know, coming and going for whatever reason.

00:49:55.150 --> 00:49:57.010
His reasons were good. His reasons were valid.

00:49:57.070 --> 00:50:00.909
Not criticizing that. But, you know, if you're

00:50:00.909 --> 00:50:02.909
not going to be there on a consistent, regular

00:50:02.909 --> 00:50:05.230
basis, it doesn't matter how good you are. I

00:50:05.230 --> 00:50:08.690
agree. Just doesn't. Yeah. Yeah. If you're not

00:50:08.690 --> 00:50:11.230
there, it's just like at work. Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

00:50:11.269 --> 00:50:15.190
If you don't show up, then you're not going to

00:50:15.190 --> 00:50:17.800
make a difference and they don't want you. I

00:50:17.800 --> 00:50:20.940
worked with a guy at the post office who had

00:50:20.940 --> 00:50:24.820
like four accidents within a single year. Did

00:50:24.820 --> 00:50:28.159
he shit himself? Not pretty much. Not a single

00:50:28.159 --> 00:50:31.280
one of those was his fault. You know, he did

00:50:31.280 --> 00:50:33.579
everything right and these just happened to him.

00:50:33.679 --> 00:50:36.320
They fired him anyway. Even though it wasn't

00:50:36.320 --> 00:50:39.260
his fault, the explanation was you're accident

00:50:39.260 --> 00:50:42.260
prone. You attract accidents. You've had four

00:50:42.260 --> 00:50:45.039
times as many accidents as anybody else in here.

00:50:45.779 --> 00:50:48.159
There's something to that. You're breaking too

00:50:48.159 --> 00:50:51.219
hard or switching lanes. Even though we can't

00:50:51.219 --> 00:50:53.619
pinpoint exactly, the fact is that accidents

00:50:53.619 --> 00:50:56.880
seek you out so we don't want you near us. Yeah.

00:50:56.940 --> 00:51:00.159
It makes sense. So Josh Simmons, he gets an F

00:51:00.159 --> 00:51:02.860
because of lack of being there. Yep. And listen,

00:51:02.960 --> 00:51:05.179
I agree with the family stuff and all that, but

00:51:05.179 --> 00:51:08.500
you promptly come back for a half a game, or

00:51:08.500 --> 00:51:10.260
was it a game and a half? I'd take a game and

00:51:10.260 --> 00:51:11.659
a half. Game and a half. And you shatter and

00:51:11.659 --> 00:51:15.099
dislocate your wrist. I'm sorry. No. Nope. Right

00:51:15.099 --> 00:51:18.260
now he gets an F. Whatever the reasons are, you

00:51:18.260 --> 00:51:20.059
just weren't there when we needed you. Yeah,

00:51:20.059 --> 00:51:22.980
we don't care the reasons. Blanket. F. All right,

00:51:23.119 --> 00:51:26.500
Jalen Moore gets a C. Actually, probably a B

00:51:26.500 --> 00:51:30.900
-. Yeah. Jalen Moore showed flashes of really

00:51:30.900 --> 00:51:34.880
good play, but he was inconsistent. Yeah. If

00:51:34.880 --> 00:51:36.800
he can clean that up a little bit, he's going

00:51:36.800 --> 00:51:39.849
to be really good. Do you agree with this or

00:51:39.849 --> 00:51:43.309
not? Yeah, yeah, I think he did a good job at

00:51:43.309 --> 00:51:46.530
right tackle. Right tackle, you do a lot more

00:51:46.530 --> 00:51:49.409
run blocking than pass blocking. But even then,

00:51:49.510 --> 00:51:50.929
we didn't have much of a running game anyway.

00:51:51.130 --> 00:51:53.389
No, we weren't running any houses. Yeah, but

00:51:53.389 --> 00:51:55.869
he is pass blocking decent. And that was the

00:51:55.869 --> 00:51:57.929
only one I wasn't sure about the grade on. That's

00:51:57.929 --> 00:52:00.230
why I asked you is because I was kind of like,

00:52:00.269 --> 00:52:03.130
meh. And after I said it out loud, I was like,

00:52:03.150 --> 00:52:05.639
he deserves a B -. It's not a C. I'm trying to

00:52:05.639 --> 00:52:07.860
think of who was the right guard. It was Caliendo

00:52:07.860 --> 00:52:10.980
at the end. Oh, he's next. Yeah, but the right

00:52:10.980 --> 00:52:16.719
guard was... Shit. Trey Smith? Trey Smith. Yeah,

00:52:16.780 --> 00:52:23.079
he was out. I keep thinking Jim or Joe Tooney

00:52:23.079 --> 00:52:25.900
or T -H -U -N -D -Y, but he's gone. Yeah, he's

00:52:25.900 --> 00:52:28.579
in Chicago doing very well. Yes, he is. Probably

00:52:28.579 --> 00:52:30.579
loving every minute that he's there. Oh, I'm

00:52:30.579 --> 00:52:35.480
sure he is. Yeah, especially right now. Yeah,

00:52:35.480 --> 00:52:37.800
Trey Smith was hurt. Trey Smith, I think, did

00:52:37.800 --> 00:52:40.760
a good job, but then Caliendo. Yeah, Trey Smith,

00:52:40.960 --> 00:52:43.659
he gets a B, like I said, and that's just because

00:52:43.659 --> 00:52:46.420
the B, I think he's overworked, like I said.

00:52:46.699 --> 00:52:50.579
Mike Caliendo gets an F -. Yeah. Horrible. Yeah.

00:52:51.699 --> 00:52:54.679
Esopole, in a short time, he has a B+. Yeah.

00:52:55.239 --> 00:52:57.960
The others didn't even register. I don't even

00:52:57.960 --> 00:53:00.619
want to talk about it. It doesn't matter. Yeah,

00:53:00.659 --> 00:53:02.820
I don't even know their names. Player X, Player

00:53:02.820 --> 00:53:06.519
O, Player B, all of them. Yeah. Who cares? Yeah,

00:53:06.599 --> 00:53:09.619
practice squad fodder. Yeah, yes. Yeah, it's

00:53:09.619 --> 00:53:11.719
like they weren't there anyhow. Yeah, I think

00:53:11.719 --> 00:53:13.579
the Chiefs finished the season with a lot of

00:53:13.579 --> 00:53:15.460
guys on the active roster that would have been

00:53:15.460 --> 00:53:17.800
lucky to be on the practice squad. Mm -hmm. Boom.

00:53:18.349 --> 00:53:20.530
We just needed them in the game because we didn't

00:53:20.530 --> 00:53:22.309
have anybody else. But to be fair, we were sucking

00:53:22.309 --> 00:53:24.409
before all the injuries. So nobody could go,

00:53:24.469 --> 00:53:26.849
oh, hey, this is because we were injured. No.

00:53:27.010 --> 00:53:30.210
Yeah, yeah, that's what history is going to say.

00:53:30.349 --> 00:53:32.789
Yeah, and that's what sits so wrong with so many

00:53:32.789 --> 00:53:36.269
people, you know, in the NFL media is like you

00:53:36.269 --> 00:53:38.849
can't point to anything. It's like everything

00:53:38.849 --> 00:53:41.829
sucked and we don't know exactly why. What exactly

00:53:41.829 --> 00:53:44.329
was – there wasn't one cause. There was a lot

00:53:44.329 --> 00:53:47.429
of causes. And now he's like, oh, Mahomes is

00:53:47.429 --> 00:53:50.219
hurt. Yeah, in history, that's what's going to

00:53:50.219 --> 00:53:52.539
happen. But we were toast well before that. Yeah,

00:53:52.739 --> 00:53:54.920
we're injury -ridden. No, no, no, no. It has

00:53:54.920 --> 00:53:57.360
nothing to do with how bad we're playing. Colin

00:53:57.360 --> 00:54:00.519
Cowherd said this, and you tell me. I think there's

00:54:00.519 --> 00:54:02.179
some flaws in it, but there's a lot of truth

00:54:02.179 --> 00:54:05.559
to it. He said this is how dynasties end. They

00:54:05.559 --> 00:54:08.039
come along, they dominate, dominate, and then

00:54:08.039 --> 00:54:10.099
they start winning the close games just barely.

00:54:10.519 --> 00:54:13.039
And then one season, they don't win the close

00:54:13.039 --> 00:54:16.460
games, and it's over. Yeah. I think part of that's

00:54:16.460 --> 00:54:18.690
right, but not all of it. Yeah, yeah, that can

00:54:18.690 --> 00:54:21.610
definitely make it over for that season, and

00:54:21.610 --> 00:54:23.469
it is what happened with the Chiefs this season

00:54:23.469 --> 00:54:26.309
is they lost all those close games. The reason

00:54:26.309 --> 00:54:28.070
for that is something you need to figure out,

00:54:28.130 --> 00:54:32.170
but the psychological damage that it does to

00:54:32.170 --> 00:54:35.750
the players I think is the big part is they believed

00:54:35.750 --> 00:54:38.150
in themselves so strongly, and now they're doing,

00:54:38.289 --> 00:54:40.409
to their mind, doing everything they did last

00:54:40.409 --> 00:54:42.530
time, but now suddenly it's not working, and

00:54:42.530 --> 00:54:45.590
it's so confusing. I've seen so many times the

00:54:45.590 --> 00:54:47.769
players on the sideline looking up at the scoreboard

00:54:47.769 --> 00:54:51.030
with this just shocked and puzzled look on their

00:54:51.030 --> 00:54:53.050
face like, what the hell happened? I want to

00:54:53.050 --> 00:54:55.329
see that replay because I was out there in that

00:54:55.329 --> 00:54:56.849
play and I don't know what the hell happened.

00:54:57.690 --> 00:55:00.030
That's a bad attitude for your players to have.

00:55:00.230 --> 00:55:02.409
They kind of need to know what went wrong so

00:55:02.409 --> 00:55:05.650
they can fix it. So many times it was like they

00:55:05.650 --> 00:55:09.690
just look lost. It's like you get in your car

00:55:09.690 --> 00:55:12.579
and you... hit the starter button to turn it

00:55:12.579 --> 00:55:14.980
on, and instead the tires blow. You're like,

00:55:15.059 --> 00:55:19.019
what the fuck, man? That's the expression I saw.

00:55:19.159 --> 00:55:21.440
That's a good analogy. It's like, this was supposed

00:55:21.440 --> 00:55:25.139
to work. I just fought this. That's the look

00:55:25.139 --> 00:55:27.260
I see on a lot of the players' faces. I agree.

00:55:27.360 --> 00:55:30.139
It was shell shock. They're unprepared. They

00:55:30.139 --> 00:55:33.369
weren't even prepared for adversity. No. They

00:55:33.369 --> 00:55:35.409
were so sure that it was all going to go fine,

00:55:35.449 --> 00:55:37.989
all going to go great, and then bad stuff happened.

00:55:37.989 --> 00:55:40.389
That's part of the problem. They threw themselves

00:55:40.389 --> 00:55:43.050
on the field and expected to win. It happens

00:55:43.050 --> 00:55:46.230
all the time. And it finally happened to us.

00:55:46.230 --> 00:55:47.909
They're lucky to hold it together so many years

00:55:47.909 --> 00:55:50.469
and not have that happen before. Although I can

00:55:50.469 --> 00:55:52.590
argue that it started happening last season.

00:55:53.210 --> 00:55:56.250
True, true. But, you know, all the Chiefs haters

00:55:56.250 --> 00:55:57.989
out there that have been waiting for a moment

00:55:57.989 --> 00:56:01.309
like this. Go ahead and let us have it. We deserve

00:56:01.309 --> 00:56:03.730
it. I mean, it's not like some fluke or some

00:56:03.730 --> 00:56:07.469
bad thing went our way. The Chiefs just utterly

00:56:07.469 --> 00:56:10.170
stunk it up this year and did nothing to fix

00:56:10.170 --> 00:56:13.289
it. So they deserve all the anger and all the

00:56:13.289 --> 00:56:16.889
gloating. Except for idiots, in my opinion, like

00:56:16.889 --> 00:56:20.929
Craig Carton and Skip Bayless. You cannot predict

00:56:20.929 --> 00:56:22.889
somebody's death for eight years, and then when

00:56:22.889 --> 00:56:26.260
it happens, go, see, I told you. Stop that. You

00:56:26.260 --> 00:56:28.579
guys are idiots. Every time a baby is born, you

00:56:28.579 --> 00:56:30.219
can point them and say, I predict that child's

00:56:30.219 --> 00:56:32.920
going to die someday. Okay, you're going to hit

00:56:32.920 --> 00:56:35.440
it eventually. Yeah, eight years later, eight

00:56:35.440 --> 00:56:37.940
years later, Craig Carton does an itty -bitty

00:56:37.940 --> 00:56:40.539
show, a really small show on X, and hardly has

00:56:40.539 --> 00:56:45.039
any viewership, allegedly, in my opinion. And

00:56:45.039 --> 00:56:47.440
I think that he does this to try to get Kansas

00:56:47.440 --> 00:56:50.280
City fans to watch him. To hate on them. To hate

00:56:50.280 --> 00:56:53.780
on them. And it's an old gimmick, and it's really

00:56:53.780 --> 00:56:56.840
mundane and boring. You're a one -note person,

00:56:57.000 --> 00:56:59.179
in my opinion. One -note person, have nothing

00:56:59.179 --> 00:57:02.059
to say. They're the anti -programmer, and that's

00:57:02.059 --> 00:57:04.900
what Skip and Carton are to me. Anti -programmers.

00:57:05.119 --> 00:57:06.800
Doesn't matter. Wind's out of the north. No,

00:57:06.840 --> 00:57:08.840
it isn't. It's out of the south. That's what

00:57:08.840 --> 00:57:11.340
they do. Yeah, yeah. And in the early days...

00:57:13.719 --> 00:57:18.079
shock rock and shock djs yes it worked because

00:57:18.079 --> 00:57:20.639
part of the ratings was determined by how many

00:57:20.639 --> 00:57:23.280
phone calls you got yes now that doesn't matter

00:57:23.280 --> 00:57:25.780
anymore no but on social media if you've got

00:57:25.780 --> 00:57:29.719
like a podcast or a video or something then your

00:57:29.719 --> 00:57:33.300
monetization depends on how many likes you get

00:57:33.300 --> 00:57:35.860
how many views you get how many subscribers and

00:57:35.860 --> 00:57:37.460
it doesn't matter if they're hating on you as

00:57:37.460 --> 00:57:39.900
long as they're watching yeah no that's true

00:57:40.329 --> 00:57:42.889
And also, the thing that really destroyed a lot

00:57:42.889 --> 00:57:46.969
of shock radio is Nelson Radings. When Nelson

00:57:46.969 --> 00:57:49.210
Radings came out, they kind of proved in a lot

00:57:49.210 --> 00:57:52.190
of these shows that people want to be the rebel.

00:57:52.369 --> 00:57:54.449
And they go, what do you listen to in the morning?

00:57:54.510 --> 00:57:56.510
And they pick the most outlandish one and go,

00:57:56.590 --> 00:57:59.909
I listen to this guy. And then you find out they're

00:57:59.909 --> 00:58:02.469
listening to Easy Listening or something or KCMO.

00:58:02.710 --> 00:58:04.829
And it's like, wait a minute, you said you listen

00:58:04.829 --> 00:58:07.110
to, I don't know, like Johnny Dare or something.

00:58:07.210 --> 00:58:09.460
You said you listen to him. but you're actually

00:58:09.460 --> 00:58:12.820
listening to KCMO. The wannabe responses. Yes,

00:58:12.900 --> 00:58:15.079
they want to look cool when they respond. It's

00:58:15.079 --> 00:58:17.139
like the opposite of virtue signaling, where

00:58:17.139 --> 00:58:19.480
you say, oh, I give money to that, and you don't.

00:58:19.599 --> 00:58:21.840
You just want to have people think you do. The

00:58:21.840 --> 00:58:26.159
opposite of that is to pretend as if you're this

00:58:26.159 --> 00:58:28.960
outlaw, this rebel, and you live on the edge,

00:58:29.039 --> 00:58:31.320
but really you drink warm milk every night before

00:58:31.320 --> 00:58:34.440
you go to bed at 6 .30. Yes, you're out slamming

00:58:34.440 --> 00:58:37.559
tequila. and fucking racing cars and stuff, but

00:58:37.559 --> 00:58:39.719
actually you go to bed at 6 o 'clock. Yeah. After

00:58:39.719 --> 00:58:42.500
watching Leave it to Beaver reruns. Yes. Yeah,

00:58:42.579 --> 00:58:45.420
I agree. But what they found out when they did

00:58:45.420 --> 00:58:49.599
the personal people meters is a lot of what they

00:58:49.599 --> 00:58:52.360
said they did, they did not. And then you're

00:58:52.360 --> 00:58:54.659
talking about the calls and all that. Well, it's

00:58:54.659 --> 00:58:56.920
too easy to manipulate a lot of that, okay? You

00:58:56.920 --> 00:59:00.360
can get a lot of calls from friends that would

00:59:00.360 --> 00:59:03.659
count. Get somebody with a few robocall machines

00:59:03.659 --> 00:59:06.980
and say, hey, light us up, man. Boost our ratings.

00:59:06.980 --> 00:59:08.880
They have a name for that, don't they? And then

00:59:08.880 --> 00:59:10.860
there's watch winding and a whole bunch of different

00:59:10.860 --> 00:59:15.239
things you can do to beef up your ratings. Make

00:59:15.239 --> 00:59:17.179
it look like a whole lot more people are involved

00:59:17.179 --> 00:59:19.480
than really are. Yeah, yeah. And the great ones

00:59:19.480 --> 00:59:22.820
did that. The great ones did that. Nobody could

00:59:22.820 --> 00:59:25.039
have been on the phone. But they have five people

00:59:25.039 --> 00:59:29.079
that are voice actors or something or someone

00:59:29.079 --> 00:59:32.429
they know. Come on. all of a sudden act like

00:59:32.429 --> 00:59:35.130
it's a huge deal, and everybody piles on. They're

00:59:35.130 --> 00:59:37.489
like, yeah, I agree with him, and then you have

00:59:37.489 --> 00:59:39.429
real people calling in because of the fake people

00:59:39.429 --> 00:59:41.650
calling. Or you have someone call in and say

00:59:41.650 --> 00:59:45.389
something completely absurd. I saw an example,

00:59:45.530 --> 00:59:50.570
in fact, this morning on one of those half -hour

00:59:50.570 --> 00:59:52.510
religious programs that come on early in the

00:59:52.510 --> 00:59:54.550
morning. Oh, yeah, yeah, the pay -for? Yeah,

00:59:54.630 --> 00:59:58.949
and after the person did their message, etc.,

00:59:58.949 --> 01:00:01.559
then they had... you know at the end they've

01:00:01.559 --> 01:00:03.139
got five ten minutes where they're trying to

01:00:03.139 --> 01:00:06.639
sell you merchandise and the gym bakery yeah

01:00:06.639 --> 01:00:09.940
yeah yeah um and for this one it was a book that

01:00:09.940 --> 01:00:12.539
was supposed to help you through times of trouble

01:00:12.539 --> 01:00:15.880
and they had like five different people that

01:00:15.880 --> 01:00:17.699
they were showing is like and every one of them

01:00:17.699 --> 01:00:20.139
was either a long this guy's like i was a meth

01:00:20.139 --> 01:00:22.599
addict for 15 years and this one gal was like

01:00:22.599 --> 01:00:24.599
you know i was living on the street and had a

01:00:24.599 --> 01:00:27.920
drinking problem And so it's all these different

01:00:27.920 --> 01:00:29.639
people who, you know, cleaned up their life,

01:00:29.719 --> 01:00:31.280
turned them around. And I was looking at them

01:00:31.280 --> 01:00:35.260
thinking, I don't think so. Because every person

01:00:35.260 --> 01:00:37.480
they're showing was, number one, a little too

01:00:37.480 --> 01:00:40.099
young to have been on the street or addicted

01:00:40.099 --> 01:00:44.360
for that long. Number two, they all had beautifully

01:00:44.360 --> 01:00:48.179
straight white teeth and perfect skin. Now, the

01:00:48.179 --> 01:00:50.800
guy who was a meth addict for 15 years wouldn't

01:00:50.800 --> 01:00:54.210
have teeth. No, you're right. And the gal who

01:00:54.210 --> 01:00:56.230
was living on the street and drunk and selling

01:00:56.230 --> 01:01:00.869
her body for 15 years would have scars and bad

01:01:00.869 --> 01:01:03.710
skin. And her teeth would be bad. Every one of

01:01:03.710 --> 01:01:06.150
these people was model perfect. They were all

01:01:06.150 --> 01:01:09.409
extremely attractive. All of them perfectly fit.

01:01:09.650 --> 01:01:11.510
Nobody was overweight. Nobody was underweight.

01:01:11.690 --> 01:01:14.210
It was like, these are all models. And they're

01:01:14.210 --> 01:01:16.789
acting. They're pretending. Just like Joel Osteen's

01:01:16.789 --> 01:01:21.980
hair. Perfect. No, I like Joel Osteen. I have

01:01:21.980 --> 01:01:24.199
nothing against him. But even this religious

01:01:24.199 --> 01:01:27.019
program, they're not leaving it to chance. They're

01:01:27.019 --> 01:01:29.340
going to fool you and trick you by bringing out

01:01:29.340 --> 01:01:32.199
these perfect -looking people as an example of,

01:01:32.219 --> 01:01:35.300
you know, look how beautiful and perfect they

01:01:35.300 --> 01:01:37.679
are now that they've read the book they were

01:01:37.679 --> 01:01:40.039
trying to sell you. It's another way to convince

01:01:40.039 --> 01:01:41.880
you that the book will work a miracle in your

01:01:41.880 --> 01:01:44.460
life by trotting in an actor pretending that

01:01:44.460 --> 01:01:46.920
they had this awful backstory. So, okay, let

01:01:46.920 --> 01:01:49.739
me get this straight. You're saying a televangelist

01:01:49.739 --> 01:01:52.440
is a crook? Is that what you're saying? Allegedly.

01:01:52.920 --> 01:01:57.460
Allegedly. All right, I'm going to go back to

01:01:57.460 --> 01:02:03.420
the grades. I love that. Allegedly. Running backs,

01:02:03.519 --> 01:02:06.539
Pacheco, F -. He should not be on the team next

01:02:06.539 --> 01:02:09.000
year. No way, no how. And if they bring him back,

01:02:09.099 --> 01:02:12.059
I question everything about the organization.

01:02:12.460 --> 01:02:14.739
Yeah, that would be a clear sign that they're

01:02:14.739 --> 01:02:17.929
clueless. And they don't get it. Exactly. Oh,

01:02:17.989 --> 01:02:20.550
he'll get better. No, he won't. What you see

01:02:20.550 --> 01:02:22.369
is what you get. Yeah, he's just going to get

01:02:22.369 --> 01:02:25.030
more injured as time goes by. Rashad Smith gets

01:02:25.030 --> 01:02:28.829
an F -. He come out looking great. He had flashes.

01:02:29.090 --> 01:02:31.210
He had flashes, but, boy, he got stopped a lot.

01:02:31.289 --> 01:02:33.949
A lot. They figured him out fast. Yeah, they

01:02:33.949 --> 01:02:35.570
did. The other teams did. He didn't figure out

01:02:35.570 --> 01:02:38.739
the running lanes ever that I saw. No. He had

01:02:38.739 --> 01:02:41.320
him, too, on a couple of them. His instinct isn't

01:02:41.320 --> 01:02:43.760
there. Yeah, I would see him running directly

01:02:43.760 --> 01:02:45.739
at the guy who was trying to tackle him. Exactly.

01:02:46.320 --> 01:02:50.360
A guy that small, you don't want to run over

01:02:50.360 --> 01:02:52.119
a guy because you're not going to make it. You

01:02:52.119 --> 01:02:54.940
need to fake him, jump to the side, do something

01:02:54.940 --> 01:02:57.820
to avoid him, but run straight at the guy who

01:02:57.820 --> 01:02:59.840
was trying to tackle him, and the guy would make

01:02:59.840 --> 01:03:02.809
the tackle immediately. Yeah, the only guy I've

01:03:02.809 --> 01:03:04.969
seen waiting for the hole to open up has been

01:03:04.969 --> 01:03:08.329
Hunt. Yeah. That's it. Yeah. He has a better

01:03:08.329 --> 01:03:10.309
instinct than the both of them, a lot better

01:03:10.309 --> 01:03:12.969
instinct. So, all right. Who knows about Mitchell?

01:03:13.110 --> 01:03:16.050
I mean, I'm going to give him an incomplete.

01:03:17.729 --> 01:03:21.289
We dropped him from the class. Oh, yeah. Yeah,

01:03:21.349 --> 01:03:23.130
yeah, yeah. You know what? I'm going to erase

01:03:23.130 --> 01:03:25.289
him. I gave him an F-, but you know what? I don't

01:03:25.289 --> 01:03:27.550
know, honestly. Who would know? He was barely

01:03:27.550 --> 01:03:32.389
in there. Creamhunt gets a B -. He did good when

01:03:32.389 --> 01:03:35.050
they used him properly, and how you use him properly

01:03:35.050 --> 01:03:37.230
is you keep him in the game. Yes. You don't take

01:03:37.230 --> 01:03:39.210
him out and just suddenly not run him anymore.

01:03:39.429 --> 01:03:42.599
Do you think he is a credible? target for dump

01:03:42.599 --> 01:03:44.699
-off passes? Do you think the other team thinks

01:03:44.699 --> 01:03:47.739
he's a threat that way? He used to be. I don't

01:03:47.739 --> 01:03:49.980
remember them using him much that way this season,

01:03:50.000 --> 01:03:53.739
but they should. Leave him in, get him 30 touches

01:03:53.739 --> 01:03:57.139
a game at least, and have five of those be passes.

01:03:57.420 --> 01:04:00.699
He's a good catcher. He catches balls really

01:04:00.699 --> 01:04:03.280
well, and he runs with them very well. He tucks

01:04:03.280 --> 01:04:05.980
the ball in. In his whole career, he's only had

01:04:05.980 --> 01:04:09.699
two fumbles. Wow. Yeah. Yeah, and they were both

01:04:09.699 --> 01:04:12.739
with the Chiefs. Yeah, I remember one very memorable

01:04:12.739 --> 01:04:14.260
one with the Chiefs. His first play. His first

01:04:14.260 --> 01:04:17.039
play. Very first play. Then he didn't do it ever

01:04:17.039 --> 01:04:19.500
again until, what, three games ago or two games

01:04:19.500 --> 01:04:22.639
ago. Yeah. All right. Against the Colts. And

01:04:22.639 --> 01:04:25.039
we ended up winning that game. Surprise, surprise.

01:04:25.320 --> 01:04:28.940
Yeah, yep. Special teams. Elijah Mitchell, I

01:04:28.940 --> 01:04:32.099
X'd him out. Yeah. Special teams, F minus. And

01:04:32.099 --> 01:04:35.380
not because, not because of the talent that we

01:04:35.380 --> 01:04:38.860
have. Remigio gets a C because he didn't show

01:04:38.860 --> 01:04:40.880
anything, even though I think he was used completely

01:04:40.880 --> 01:04:44.980
wrong. Thornton gets a B. I saw flashes there

01:04:44.980 --> 01:04:47.300
where he looked really good, and I saw flashes

01:04:47.300 --> 01:04:49.119
where he didn't look good, but I think there's

01:04:49.119 --> 01:04:52.800
enough upside to where I'd give him a B. It's

01:04:52.800 --> 01:04:54.519
kind of really kind of incomplete. We'll see.

01:04:55.300 --> 01:04:59.050
Defense gets a B -. They finished much stronger,

01:04:59.090 --> 01:05:00.750
but earlier in the season brought down their

01:05:00.750 --> 01:05:03.150
score quite a bit, considerably. And lack of

01:05:03.150 --> 01:05:06.050
critical execution is what really brought them

01:05:06.050 --> 01:05:09.050
down. It took so long for the defense to gel.

01:05:09.150 --> 01:05:11.469
It looked like they were playing as a unit. I

01:05:11.469 --> 01:05:13.250
mean, you want that by the first, second game,

01:05:13.389 --> 01:05:16.389
but it was like mid -season, the earliest, where

01:05:16.389 --> 01:05:18.110
they finally started looking like a cohesive

01:05:18.110 --> 01:05:22.010
unit. We let Snead go. Yeah. We let Reid go.

01:05:22.190 --> 01:05:28.389
Yeah. Before that, we led Matthews. Tyron Matthew.

01:05:28.869 --> 01:05:31.449
Tyron Matthew. We've led all these good people,

01:05:31.510 --> 01:05:33.409
these proven people that command more money.

01:05:33.429 --> 01:05:35.829
We let them go, and we brought in younger people.

01:05:36.110 --> 01:05:38.909
So I see how come it took a while for him to

01:05:38.909 --> 01:05:42.030
jail. And this is where I go to. We're not that

01:05:42.030 --> 01:05:45.150
far off. That defense is looking good. And one

01:05:45.150 --> 01:05:47.389
more year, and a lot of these guys, we don't

01:05:47.389 --> 01:05:50.070
have to rehire. They're already on the payroll.

01:05:50.619 --> 01:05:52.719
You bring that with a couple of good draft picks

01:05:52.719 --> 01:05:55.440
and maybe hire somebody for a pass rusher, and

01:05:55.440 --> 01:05:57.679
I think you're set there. And then you have to

01:05:57.679 --> 01:05:59.400
go the offensive line, like I said, and you have

01:05:59.400 --> 01:06:01.619
to have a great running game. Not a good one,

01:06:01.659 --> 01:06:05.719
but a great. Run first, but I don't think they're

01:06:05.719 --> 01:06:09.400
capable of it. I've always been a fan of having

01:06:09.400 --> 01:06:12.360
a running game that the other team fears. Yes.

01:06:12.420 --> 01:06:16.199
And you go into the game with the other team

01:06:16.199 --> 01:06:18.280
thinking, oh, God, we've got to stop the run.

01:06:18.679 --> 01:06:21.380
and then you've got them concentrating on one

01:06:21.380 --> 01:06:23.440
thing, and you exploit everything else. It's

01:06:23.440 --> 01:06:27.260
demoralizing. When you run on a team, it beats

01:06:27.260 --> 01:06:29.920
them down so bad. It's demoralizing. It hurts

01:06:29.920 --> 01:06:32.559
them. They get tweaked. Yeah, and then at the

01:06:32.559 --> 01:06:34.539
end of the game, you start fucking throwing your

01:06:34.539 --> 01:06:37.300
receivers out there, and you're going to have

01:06:37.300 --> 01:06:38.940
a couple of them break loose because those other

01:06:38.940 --> 01:06:41.480
guys are hurting, and they're tired from trying

01:06:41.480 --> 01:06:43.639
to stop this huge guy in this huge offensive

01:06:43.639 --> 01:06:46.760
line. Yeah. So, all right. Something I wanted

01:06:46.760 --> 01:06:48.340
to mention about the play calling that I forgot

01:06:48.340 --> 01:06:50.900
earlier is there were a number of times this

01:06:50.900 --> 01:06:54.659
season where I saw on a third down, it was like,

01:06:54.679 --> 01:06:56.480
I think I mentioned third and short, and they'd

01:06:56.480 --> 01:06:58.860
go for a bomb, which was ridiculous. And there

01:06:58.860 --> 01:07:00.519
were a lot of times where it was third and long,

01:07:00.579 --> 01:07:03.679
and they would do a give -up play. Yes, yes.

01:07:03.679 --> 01:07:05.659
Like, he'll swing out to the running back, and

01:07:05.659 --> 01:07:08.360
he'll get, like, four yards. And it's like they've

01:07:08.360 --> 01:07:10.460
already decided on third down, well, we're not

01:07:10.460 --> 01:07:11.940
going to make it. Let's just get in a better

01:07:11.940 --> 01:07:14.760
position to punt. I don't like that in a team

01:07:14.760 --> 01:07:17.579
where they give up on third down and just. I

01:07:17.579 --> 01:07:20.179
don't either. And that time that Mahomes threw

01:07:20.179 --> 01:07:23.360
that interception on third down. Which time?

01:07:23.960 --> 01:07:26.579
But everyone is explaining it away. Well, it's

01:07:26.579 --> 01:07:28.659
basically like a punt. You know, we're considering

01:07:28.659 --> 01:07:31.760
an arm punt. No. No, you lost an entire down.

01:07:32.000 --> 01:07:35.159
We had the ball. Yeah. The object is to keep

01:07:35.159 --> 01:07:37.760
the ball. And even if it had been a regular punt,

01:07:37.960 --> 01:07:39.760
you could still get the ball back on a punt.

01:07:39.940 --> 01:07:44.110
How about this? You play. To win the game. Yes.

01:07:44.429 --> 01:07:48.730
Herm Edwards. Herm Edwards, yes. And by punting

01:07:48.730 --> 01:07:51.650
when you have another down, that is not winning

01:07:51.650 --> 01:07:53.969
the game. No. That's damage controlling. You

01:07:53.969 --> 01:07:55.869
don't believe in yourself. Yeah. But those give

01:07:55.869 --> 01:07:59.150
up plays on third down really bothered me. It's

01:07:59.150 --> 01:08:01.670
like the players had to know when the play came

01:08:01.670 --> 01:08:04.190
in from the sideline. They're like, no way we're

01:08:04.190 --> 01:08:06.789
making the first down here. So why even try that

01:08:06.789 --> 01:08:10.559
hard? Yeah. Don't. Don't. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So,

01:08:10.559 --> 01:08:12.260
yeah, if it's going to be like that, then just

01:08:12.260 --> 01:08:16.000
be completely safe. Yeah. Defense gets a B-,

01:08:16.000 --> 01:08:18.020
they finish much stronger. Oh, I already went

01:08:18.020 --> 01:08:20.979
over that. Bolton gets a B+. Yeah. Did a great

01:08:20.979 --> 01:08:22.699
job. He's doing a lot better in pass coverage.

01:08:22.840 --> 01:08:24.359
He's getting better in pass coverage. He's getting

01:08:24.359 --> 01:08:26.760
much better. I really like watching him progress.

01:08:26.880 --> 01:08:29.390
He is. He's one of the best defensive guys out

01:08:29.390 --> 01:08:31.229
there, and he's not that well -known. I mean,

01:08:31.250 --> 01:08:33.329
among the players he are, but if you go to a

01:08:33.329 --> 01:08:35.489
different town and ask, hey, who's Nick Bolton?

01:08:35.529 --> 01:08:37.630
They'd be like, I don't know. Isn't he that singer

01:08:37.630 --> 01:08:39.550
guy? I was getting ready to say, yeah, Michael

01:08:39.550 --> 01:08:43.510
Bolton's brother. Probably not on the surface,

01:08:43.630 --> 01:08:48.229
but okay. Tranquil gets a B. Yeah. Chanel gets

01:08:48.229 --> 01:08:51.289
a C. He was there a few times, and there's a

01:08:51.289 --> 01:08:54.149
few times he wasn't. Yeah. Jones gets an F. Yeah.

01:08:54.770 --> 01:08:58.279
Karloftis gets a B+. Mm -hmm. Dana gets a B minus.

01:08:59.119 --> 01:09:02.899
Naughty gets an F. Yeah. Do you agree with all

01:09:02.899 --> 01:09:05.939
that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What about Amenahue?

01:09:06.819 --> 01:09:10.979
Oh, okay, I got him on the D line. Yeah, I was

01:09:10.979 --> 01:09:16.579
going to say C or D. Yeah, Amenahue, yeah. Collectively

01:09:16.579 --> 01:09:19.359
get a C -. And I'll go into them here. And I

01:09:19.359 --> 01:09:21.500
don't know why I separated. I think actually

01:09:21.500 --> 01:09:24.159
in the article, I drug the thing down and put

01:09:24.159 --> 01:09:25.560
it in the wrong area. But O'Manahue probably

01:09:25.560 --> 01:09:28.020
should have been in here as a pass rusher. But

01:09:28.020 --> 01:09:29.960
I have him on the D -line on here. Oh, okay.

01:09:29.979 --> 01:09:33.960
Yeah. McDuffie gets a C. Connor gets a C. Cook

01:09:33.960 --> 01:09:38.840
gets a B. Hicks gets a B+. Yeah. The D -line

01:09:38.840 --> 01:09:41.779
is trash. O'Manahue, Tillery, Pennell, and Gelata.

01:09:42.500 --> 01:09:46.609
Or Gelata. Yeah. Or, yeah, yeah, yeah. Ice cream.

01:09:46.770 --> 01:09:49.130
We can call them ice cream. Gelato. Gelato. There

01:09:49.130 --> 01:09:52.869
we go. Are also part, collectively, they get

01:09:52.869 --> 01:09:56.729
a C -. Yeah. And the Michael Dana, Dana, Dana,

01:09:56.789 --> 01:10:00.630
is one that the Chiefs cut, signed by somebody

01:10:00.630 --> 01:10:03.029
else, and then they brought back. And he still

01:10:03.029 --> 01:10:06.590
gets an F. It's like, that's the guy you went

01:10:06.590 --> 01:10:08.470
after, you got rid of him, then you brought him

01:10:08.470 --> 01:10:10.449
back, and you still didn't realize he was an

01:10:10.449 --> 01:10:17.470
F -. Uh -huh. Yeah. Okay, what'd you say? All

01:10:17.470 --> 01:10:21.250
right, okay, now that that situation is clear.

01:10:22.350 --> 01:10:25.850
Yeah, Michael Dana, Dana, whatever his name.

01:10:26.930 --> 01:10:30.510
Depends on who says his name. Yes. He was signed

01:10:30.510 --> 01:10:33.550
with another team when the season opened, and

01:10:33.550 --> 01:10:35.310
the Chiefs went and got him back. Yeah, they

01:10:35.310 --> 01:10:37.449
thought it was this great catch, and so did a

01:10:37.449 --> 01:10:39.510
lot of the fans. They're all celebrating. He

01:10:39.510 --> 01:10:42.310
made one or two good plays last season. Yeah,

01:10:42.310 --> 01:10:45.319
yeah. They went after him and got him back, and

01:10:45.319 --> 01:10:47.560
even when they realized he wasn't performing,

01:10:47.840 --> 01:10:49.420
they just stuck with him. It's like they did

01:10:49.420 --> 01:10:51.699
nothing. There's so much of this season where

01:10:51.699 --> 01:10:55.140
the coaching staff and the front office, they

01:10:55.140 --> 01:10:57.659
can clearly see all the problems we see, and

01:10:57.659 --> 01:11:00.119
they just do nothing. I mean, I don't understand

01:11:00.119 --> 01:11:03.720
why they couldn't just look to the practice squad

01:11:03.720 --> 01:11:05.560
and get someone to go up and go, you know what,

01:11:05.699 --> 01:11:10.100
we're not winning anyhow. I'm hoping now. that

01:11:10.100 --> 01:11:13.199
the season is over for us, that it's all backups.

01:11:13.619 --> 01:11:15.460
Let's sort them out. Let's see what they can

01:11:15.460 --> 01:11:16.779
do. You're going to be playing against their

01:11:16.779 --> 01:11:18.680
first stringers. Maybe not against Denver at

01:11:18.680 --> 01:11:21.140
the end if they lock it up. But, I mean, they're

01:11:21.140 --> 01:11:23.399
only one game ahead, so chances are they're going

01:11:23.399 --> 01:11:25.739
to be playing full force against us. True, true.

01:11:25.939 --> 01:11:28.239
And that's what I want. I want to see what we

01:11:28.239 --> 01:11:31.020
have. I know that the networks are going to fight

01:11:31.020 --> 01:11:33.569
that. And I know that the gambling institutions

01:11:33.569 --> 01:11:35.390
are going to fight that because they'll make

01:11:35.390 --> 01:11:37.510
more money if the Chiefs keep starting all their

01:11:37.510 --> 01:11:39.470
regular starters. Well, I think there's an answer

01:11:39.470 --> 01:11:41.170
to that, too. You start out with the starters,

01:11:41.250 --> 01:11:43.130
and then, you know, you just kind of like go,

01:11:43.210 --> 01:11:45.850
oh, he's tweaked. Then you throw in. That's smart,

01:11:46.050 --> 01:11:48.449
yeah, yeah, because that way all the betting

01:11:48.449 --> 01:11:51.109
gets in, and then you just start substituting

01:11:51.109 --> 01:11:53.050
people out in the first quarter. It'd be easy

01:11:53.050 --> 01:11:54.789
to do. Someone walk off limping a little bit.

01:11:54.829 --> 01:11:56.630
Oh, shit, come here. We got to look at you and,

01:11:56.649 --> 01:12:00.109
you know. Just list him as questionable and then

01:12:00.109 --> 01:12:02.409
never put him back in. We think he's okay, but

01:12:02.409 --> 01:12:04.529
we're afraid to put him back in. Just like that.

01:12:04.590 --> 01:12:07.449
We don't have a doctor here. It can be done.

01:12:09.390 --> 01:12:12.550
Even the league office will probably complain

01:12:12.550 --> 01:12:16.010
if the Chiefs spend the last three games treating

01:12:16.010 --> 01:12:18.130
him like preseason games. Yeah, you're right.

01:12:18.630 --> 01:12:21.289
I think the team should do it anyway and say,

01:12:21.350 --> 01:12:23.109
tell the league, hey, if you don't like it, stop

01:12:23.109 --> 01:12:27.390
us. I agree. Backup linebackers. Bossa gets a

01:12:27.390 --> 01:12:31.909
B -. Cochran gets a C. McDonald. I don't even

01:12:31.909 --> 01:12:33.550
think I've seen him on the field. Cooper McDonald,

01:12:33.829 --> 01:12:37.050
have you? Uh -huh. Okay, so I don't know. Joshua

01:12:37.050 --> 01:12:40.810
Williams gets a B+. He has shown me some promising

01:12:40.810 --> 01:12:43.970
skills. Jaden Hicks gets a B. Jalen Watson gets

01:12:43.970 --> 01:12:48.100
a B. Christian Fulton gets a C. Kevin Knowles

01:12:48.100 --> 01:12:50.579
gets a C. Mike Edwards gets a C. Dave Tope fired.

01:12:50.800 --> 01:12:53.439
Matt Nagy fired. The D -line coach, Joe Cohen,

01:12:53.579 --> 01:12:56.619
fired. D -backs coach, Dave Merritt, fired. Linebackers

01:12:56.619 --> 01:12:59.479
coach, Brendan Daly, fired. Oh, no, no. Linebackers

01:12:59.479 --> 01:13:02.720
coach gets a B. Sorry. Andy Reid gets an F -minus,

01:13:02.720 --> 01:13:06.399
and that's all I got. Yeah, that's so disappointing

01:13:06.399 --> 01:13:09.060
in Andy all season long that he's just been a

01:13:09.060 --> 01:13:11.760
nothing and a nobody. There's no passion. There's

01:13:11.760 --> 01:13:14.680
no fire. There's no response. He sits there like

01:13:14.680 --> 01:13:18.729
a big pile of pudding. At every game, every press

01:13:18.729 --> 01:13:20.710
conference, there's no fire, there's no passion,

01:13:20.829 --> 01:13:23.630
there's no nothing. He's just like, whatever

01:13:23.630 --> 01:13:26.710
happens, happens. He might as well be eating

01:13:26.710 --> 01:13:29.170
some ice cream like Joe Biden. Just be sitting

01:13:29.170 --> 01:13:35.369
there going, oh, what's going on? Oh, okay. I

01:13:35.369 --> 01:13:38.350
remember Gruden, John Gruden, getting fired up.

01:13:38.609 --> 01:13:41.689
That's who I think we need. But I thought of

01:13:41.689 --> 01:13:44.010
something better. You bring back Alex Smith,

01:13:44.069 --> 01:13:47.510
whatever it takes, to mentor and teach Mahomes

01:13:47.510 --> 01:13:51.630
like he did at first. Smack his hand, no. Mahomes

01:13:51.630 --> 01:13:54.310
obviously listens to him, respects him. He says

01:13:54.310 --> 01:13:56.970
it all the time. I think you bring back, you

01:13:56.970 --> 01:14:00.449
find a way to get Alex Smith over here to mentor

01:14:00.449 --> 01:14:07.869
him again. I'm remembering a Jim Harbaugh moment

01:14:07.869 --> 01:14:13.319
when he was the quarterback in Chicago. and they

01:14:13.319 --> 01:14:15.060
were playing a division rival, might have been

01:14:15.060 --> 01:14:18.000
the Vikings, I don't know. And Ditka was the

01:14:18.000 --> 01:14:22.140
coach at the time, and he sent a play in. And

01:14:22.140 --> 01:14:25.359
along with the play came the warning, do not

01:14:25.359 --> 01:14:29.300
audible out of this play. Whatever you see, do

01:14:29.300 --> 01:14:31.899
not audible out of this play. You run this play.

01:14:32.960 --> 01:14:34.899
Harbaugh gets the play, breaks the huddle, goes

01:14:34.899 --> 01:14:37.020
up, looks at the defense, and calls an audible.

01:14:38.840 --> 01:14:41.439
And during the course of his audible play, he

01:14:41.439 --> 01:14:45.140
throws an interception. And after the game, he

01:14:45.140 --> 01:14:48.579
gets asked about it from the reporters. And his

01:14:48.579 --> 01:14:51.880
response is, yeah, well, coach told me to run

01:14:51.880 --> 01:14:54.600
the play and told me not to audible. But, you

01:14:54.600 --> 01:14:57.000
know, I thought I saw something that I could

01:14:57.000 --> 01:15:00.699
exploit and I was wrong. And then so coach says

01:15:00.699 --> 01:15:04.619
I can't audible anymore. He took away Jim Harbaugh's

01:15:04.619 --> 01:15:08.489
ability to audible. He told him. If you audible

01:15:08.489 --> 01:15:10.729
again, I will pull you from the game, and you

01:15:10.729 --> 01:15:12.829
will sit the rest of the game. So you will not

01:15:12.829 --> 01:15:14.390
audible. We need somebody like that. We need

01:15:14.390 --> 01:15:16.069
a coach like that. We need a coach like that.

01:15:16.069 --> 01:15:18.489
We need a coach to tell Mahomes, quit audibling

01:15:18.489 --> 01:15:20.449
out of these plays and running around like your

01:15:20.449 --> 01:15:23.289
ass is on fire. I agree. Do the play we call

01:15:23.289 --> 01:15:25.909
in, and if there's a problem, call a frickin'

01:15:25.909 --> 01:15:27.850
timeout and come over and talk to me. But you

01:15:27.850 --> 01:15:30.369
run the play we told you. I think Mahomes has

01:15:30.369 --> 01:15:32.510
given way too much freedom. I think so, too.

01:15:32.689 --> 01:15:35.010
Make up plays, audible out of plays, do whatever

01:15:35.010 --> 01:15:37.680
the hell he feels like. I think that they're

01:15:37.680 --> 01:15:39.659
afraid to tell him what to do. I do. I mean,

01:15:39.680 --> 01:15:41.300
I don't think it's like he's going to scream

01:15:41.300 --> 01:15:43.640
and yell at him. I think that they're like, well,

01:15:43.680 --> 01:15:45.460
this guy's a legend. I better leave him alone.

01:15:45.739 --> 01:15:48.140
Yeah. Well, quit treating him like a legend and

01:15:48.140 --> 01:15:50.960
treat him like an employee. Yeah, quit treating

01:15:50.960 --> 01:15:54.260
Mahomes like he runs the franchise. Realize he

01:15:54.260 --> 01:15:56.920
works for you. He has to do what you tell him

01:15:56.920 --> 01:15:59.439
because he's under contract. Treat him that way.

01:15:59.539 --> 01:16:01.859
I've got a great example. They picked Edwards

01:16:01.859 --> 01:16:05.180
and Lair because of Mahomes. Yes. He wanted him.

01:16:05.880 --> 01:16:08.460
Same with Sky Moore. First round, Sky Moore too.

01:16:08.659 --> 01:16:11.439
Yep. Yeah, those are wasted draft picks because

01:16:11.439 --> 01:16:14.640
they listened to him. Yep. So, and look, I mean,

01:16:14.659 --> 01:16:18.399
we love Mahomes. One of the best quarterbacks

01:16:18.399 --> 01:16:20.380
ever. It's not the best when it's all said and

01:16:20.380 --> 01:16:23.880
done. I see the Ferrells are back. Yeah. So.

01:16:25.939 --> 01:16:28.970
But he needs more discipline. Yes. He's getting

01:16:28.970 --> 01:16:31.289
away with too much. He's being a little too free.

01:16:31.409 --> 01:16:33.229
He's believing his own press too much. It happens

01:16:33.229 --> 01:16:35.970
all the time. Yeah. Oh, go ahead. I'm sorry.

01:16:36.029 --> 01:16:38.350
No, he believes his own press. He thinks he can

01:16:38.350 --> 01:16:40.350
always get it done. All he has to do is try harder,

01:16:40.449 --> 01:16:46.789
push harder, yell a little more. Making Mahomes

01:16:46.789 --> 01:16:51.090
face it that he's not getting it done and what

01:16:51.090 --> 01:16:53.289
he's doing isn't working, they didn't do that

01:16:53.289 --> 01:16:55.729
all season long. Yeah, I agree. Not effectively.

01:16:55.729 --> 01:16:59.460
Maybe they tried, but it didn't work. Well, whatever's

01:16:59.460 --> 01:17:02.359
going on, I mean, it's clearly not working. Yeah.

01:17:02.640 --> 01:17:06.319
And, you know, if Andy Reid decides to stay,

01:17:06.399 --> 01:17:07.939
and I think he will. I don't think he's going

01:17:07.939 --> 01:17:10.699
to give up that easily. Unless he thinks it's

01:17:10.699 --> 01:17:12.420
a total rebuild, but I don't think it's that.

01:17:12.560 --> 01:17:14.560
I think it's as clear as pretty much what we

01:17:14.560 --> 01:17:18.619
pointed out. Yeah. So, I think he's going to

01:17:18.619 --> 01:17:21.789
stay. But with him staying, he has to get different

01:17:21.789 --> 01:17:24.170
people in certain situations, not only players

01:17:24.170 --> 01:17:27.750
but coaches. Don't be a dick for a meal and stick

01:17:27.750 --> 01:17:30.130
with your assistant coaches because you like

01:17:30.130 --> 01:17:32.729
them so much. Yes. Fire the ones that aren't

01:17:32.729 --> 01:17:34.770
doing their job. Still be their friend. Still

01:17:34.770 --> 01:17:36.529
have them over to dinner. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If

01:17:36.529 --> 01:17:38.250
they're not doing the job, replace them. They're

01:17:38.250 --> 01:17:40.329
professionals. Yeah. They know this. They're

01:17:40.329 --> 01:17:42.409
like, all right, well, it's time to go. I mean,

01:17:42.430 --> 01:17:44.170
just like Andy Reid said, it was time for him

01:17:44.170 --> 01:17:47.050
to go in Philadelphia. Yep. And he said it worked

01:17:47.050 --> 01:17:50.029
out for all of us. Yep. And so he wasn't bitter.

01:17:50.170 --> 01:17:52.289
He was like, no, I needed to go. They were right.

01:17:52.529 --> 01:17:54.729
Yeah. Take that attitude towards some of the

01:17:54.729 --> 01:17:57.109
coaches on your staff, Andy. Yeah, and you know

01:17:57.109 --> 01:17:59.130
what? It's time for them to go. If they never

01:17:59.130 --> 01:18:01.050
talk to you again, then consider that a fucking

01:18:01.050 --> 01:18:04.590
blessing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was fired from

01:18:04.590 --> 01:18:07.930
a band I really enjoyed being in, and I was fired

01:18:07.930 --> 01:18:10.829
abruptly. But I'm still friends with all of them

01:18:10.829 --> 01:18:13.659
because they did what was best for them. And

01:18:13.659 --> 01:18:15.680
I realized, well, yeah, they're not going to

01:18:15.680 --> 01:18:18.140
go anywhere with me because my health at the

01:18:18.140 --> 01:18:20.739
time was bad, and I wasn't able to commit too

01:18:20.739 --> 01:18:23.859
much. We love you, we love your drumming, but

01:18:23.859 --> 01:18:27.859
we're moving on. And I understood, and I'm still

01:18:27.859 --> 01:18:30.819
great friends with all of them. It is possible.

01:18:31.279 --> 01:18:33.819
Oh, yeah. It can be done. It can be done, yep.

01:18:34.720 --> 01:18:36.899
It's been done on a lot of levels. It's just

01:18:36.899 --> 01:18:39.199
I don't know what this is. Is it out of loyalty?

01:18:39.300 --> 01:18:41.460
Is it because they're afraid of shaking things

01:18:41.460 --> 01:18:44.810
up too much? Is it the past glory or all the

01:18:44.810 --> 01:18:47.789
above? Probably all the above. Yeah. So, all

01:18:47.789 --> 01:18:51.770
right. You got something? I'm kind of done on

01:18:51.770 --> 01:18:53.069
the Chiefs. We've been talking about the Chiefs

01:18:53.069 --> 01:18:56.829
for an hour and 15 minutes. I know. So, I've

01:18:56.829 --> 01:19:02.409
got some bullet points. Yeah. All right. Is this

01:19:02.409 --> 01:19:07.729
Buffalo's year? Man, it better be. With Baltimore

01:19:07.729 --> 01:19:10.430
out of the playoffs. Playoffs. Playoffs. With

01:19:10.430 --> 01:19:13.199
Cincinnati out of the playoffs. The Chiefs out,

01:19:13.340 --> 01:19:17.319
they've pretty much got the most clear run they

01:19:17.319 --> 01:19:20.420
could ever have. If they trip up on this, they'll

01:19:20.420 --> 01:19:22.880
never do it. And I don't think they're going

01:19:22.880 --> 01:19:24.600
to get a home field advantage. I'm pretty sure

01:19:24.600 --> 01:19:29.180
Denver's going to get that. Yeah. Or the Patriots.

01:19:29.579 --> 01:19:32.380
Denver is very scary for Buffalo, actually. Yeah,

01:19:32.380 --> 01:19:34.279
I think so. Their defense and how they shut down

01:19:34.279 --> 01:19:38.800
everything. You know, you have Sertan and people

01:19:38.800 --> 01:19:41.500
like that. that can shut down a passing game,

01:19:41.640 --> 01:19:44.140
and they have people that can shut down a running

01:19:44.140 --> 01:19:47.800
game. I mean, they look very scary, so that matchup

01:19:47.800 --> 01:19:49.640
is not good for them, especially if they go to

01:19:49.640 --> 01:19:52.939
invest field. Yeah, yeah. Which they probably

01:19:52.939 --> 01:19:56.119
will. Yeah, I see the Bills making the playoffs

01:19:56.119 --> 01:19:59.659
as a wild card. Playoffs, playoffs. And the lack

01:19:59.659 --> 01:20:02.800
of home field advantage is going to hurt. I think

01:20:02.800 --> 01:20:06.569
if they don't make... If they don't make it to

01:20:06.569 --> 01:20:09.449
the Super Bowl this year, I think Sean McDermott's

01:20:09.449 --> 01:20:11.390
job is in jeopardy. I think so, too. Because

01:20:11.390 --> 01:20:15.090
he's got everything lining up for him, and they

01:20:15.090 --> 01:20:17.609
still have that, what, four -game losing streak?

01:20:17.850 --> 01:20:20.789
Uh -huh. Three - or four -game losing streak.

01:20:20.829 --> 01:20:24.550
That reflects badly on the coach. Yes. And if

01:20:24.550 --> 01:20:28.619
they can't even make it to the big game. This

01:20:28.619 --> 01:20:30.739
season, that also reflects on the head coach.

01:20:30.960 --> 01:20:32.739
It's like it was all laying right there in front

01:20:32.739 --> 01:20:35.880
of you. The football gods took care of everything

01:20:35.880 --> 01:20:38.819
for you, and you couldn't do it. Yeah, and all

01:20:38.819 --> 01:20:42.100
of a sudden they'll be cast as the would -have

01:20:42.100 --> 01:20:43.899
-beens, the could -have -beens, and the never

01:20:43.899 --> 01:20:47.260
-dones. They'll get compared to the... Bill's

01:20:47.260 --> 01:20:49.739
team that made it to the Super Bowl four years

01:20:49.739 --> 01:20:51.819
in a row, but lost every single one of them.

01:20:52.159 --> 01:20:54.840
So far, Jim Kelly has made it further than Josh

01:20:54.840 --> 01:20:57.199
Allen, and I think Josh Allen is clearly the

01:20:57.199 --> 01:21:00.579
superior quarterback, talent -wise. Yeah, Kelly

01:21:00.579 --> 01:21:05.199
had a monster arm and could read defenses okay,

01:21:05.300 --> 01:21:08.220
but he didn't have the finesse that Kerber has.

01:21:08.460 --> 01:21:11.600
But we are how many years later, and quarterbacks

01:21:11.600 --> 01:21:14.479
have evolved. Yeah, it's like 30 years now. Yeah,

01:21:14.500 --> 01:21:19.600
yep. So, all right, so we agree to this year

01:21:19.600 --> 01:21:22.500
or nothing. All right. Who should the Super Bowl

01:21:22.500 --> 01:21:26.960
favorite be right now? I'd say the Rams. Yeah,

01:21:27.020 --> 01:21:30.560
for the NFC, I'd say the Rams. AFC, I'm going

01:21:30.560 --> 01:21:36.140
to say Buffalo because of the pedigree. Yeah,

01:21:36.180 --> 01:21:38.199
yeah. They've been there so many times. It's

01:21:38.199 --> 01:21:42.020
tempting to say Denver, but the team is inexperienced

01:21:42.020 --> 01:21:45.189
with playoff wins. Playoffs, playoffs. Didn't

01:21:45.189 --> 01:21:47.670
they make it to the postseason last year and

01:21:47.670 --> 01:21:51.010
lost? Yes. Which was a good experience for them,

01:21:51.069 --> 01:21:53.789
but making a run all the way to the Super Bowl

01:21:53.789 --> 01:21:56.170
this year, I think that's a little beyond them.

01:21:56.229 --> 01:21:59.630
I think the Patriots are more likely. I would

01:21:59.630 --> 01:22:03.470
go Denver, New England, then Buffalo. Yeah, me

01:22:03.470 --> 01:22:06.550
too. There's more at stake for Buffalo than the

01:22:06.550 --> 01:22:09.460
other two. And Buffalo might have an edge just

01:22:09.460 --> 01:22:12.579
because of the been there so many times. And

01:22:12.579 --> 01:22:14.579
they might have learned a few things from battling

01:22:14.579 --> 01:22:17.479
Kansas City and Cincinnati so many times. And

01:22:17.479 --> 01:22:21.100
doing that on a relatively new team to this could

01:22:21.100 --> 01:22:23.260
be a lot easier than doing it to a team that

01:22:23.260 --> 01:22:26.439
was seasoned and had the pedigree. It's nice

01:22:26.439 --> 01:22:28.739
that it's not cut and dried. I mean, you really

01:22:28.739 --> 01:22:31.500
could make an argument for anything. But in the

01:22:31.500 --> 01:22:36.100
NFC, I don't see too many people passing Los

01:22:36.100 --> 01:22:40.050
Angeles. Yeah, I agree. All right. The next bullet

01:22:40.050 --> 01:22:42.710
point is this. Joe Burrow, seemingly unhappy.

01:22:43.050 --> 01:22:44.390
A lot of comments were made. Sounds unhappy,

01:22:44.670 --> 01:22:47.310
yeah. Jamar Chase, I love what happened there.

01:22:47.430 --> 01:22:49.390
Yeah. But I got a story on that. I'll get to

01:22:49.390 --> 01:22:51.810
it here in a little bit. But you know what happened,

01:22:51.850 --> 01:22:55.229
too, of course. So, all right. He did a Bill

01:22:55.229 --> 01:22:59.350
Romanowski. Yes, he did. Yes, very much so. Look

01:22:59.350 --> 01:23:03.920
him up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Google it. Burrow,

01:23:03.979 --> 01:23:05.760
will he leave the Bengals before his contract

01:23:05.760 --> 01:23:10.100
is up? I think he will. I think so, too. This

01:23:10.100 --> 01:23:13.100
recent thing where he's made the comments. Yes.

01:23:13.300 --> 01:23:15.220
Yeah, I think he's got two or three years left.

01:23:15.439 --> 01:23:18.539
Will he pull an Andrew Luck? Probably. I would.

01:23:18.640 --> 01:23:20.779
He made a comment. He said, you know, I mean,

01:23:20.800 --> 01:23:23.220
he was talking about his future and it's got

01:23:23.220 --> 01:23:26.000
to be fun. He's got to enjoy it. Yeah. That would

01:23:26.000 --> 01:23:28.899
imply that he's not having fun. Ready to walk

01:23:28.899 --> 01:23:31.930
away. Not necessarily go to another team. It's

01:23:31.930 --> 01:23:33.890
just like, I'm not having fun doing this. I might

01:23:33.890 --> 01:23:37.489
just give it up altogether. I mean, he is not

01:23:37.489 --> 01:23:40.449
uncommon in comments like this either. Remember

01:23:40.449 --> 01:23:42.430
when he called out his teammates and said, well,

01:23:42.489 --> 01:23:45.250
this guy's playing good, this guy's playing good,

01:23:45.270 --> 01:23:47.189
I'm playing good. What happened to everybody?

01:23:47.430 --> 01:23:50.369
You know, you don't do that. What about the other

01:23:50.369 --> 01:23:56.539
50 people on the roster? But, yeah, the comment

01:23:56.539 --> 01:23:58.979
I heard was he's saying, if I'm going to continue

01:23:58.979 --> 01:24:01.640
to do this, it needs to be fun. It has to be

01:24:01.640 --> 01:24:05.180
fun and enjoyable, et cetera. So even if that

01:24:05.180 --> 01:24:07.159
was, you know, speaking in the heat of the moment,

01:24:07.199 --> 01:24:10.880
it does get the message out that he's ready to

01:24:10.880 --> 01:24:14.739
give it up and walk away, that he's not locked

01:24:14.739 --> 01:24:18.720
in and management, coaching staff, somebody,

01:24:18.840 --> 01:24:21.359
other players. Better step it up or he's gone.

01:24:21.539 --> 01:24:23.880
I think that that shows a fundamental lack of

01:24:23.880 --> 01:24:27.020
respect for what system you have going, doesn't

01:24:27.020 --> 01:24:29.439
it? Yeah, yeah. But to be fair, the Cincinnati

01:24:29.439 --> 01:24:32.420
Bengals organization has never really been one

01:24:32.420 --> 01:24:35.979
that you could respect as a good business. They've

01:24:35.979 --> 01:24:45.359
always been super cheap, really petty, basically

01:24:45.359 --> 01:24:48.489
kind of a backwards franchise. that have lucked

01:24:48.489 --> 01:24:51.750
into a lot of good players. Well, some talent

01:24:51.750 --> 01:24:54.649
in their front office, but the way they run the

01:24:54.649 --> 01:24:56.630
Bengals organization, I'm surprised they're not

01:24:56.630 --> 01:25:00.789
more like the Jets or the Titans, where they're

01:25:00.789 --> 01:25:04.050
just also Rams every year. I also got another

01:25:04.050 --> 01:25:08.510
observation, too. Back, was it Carson Palmer,

01:25:08.930 --> 01:25:12.770
the quarterback, and was his name Javon Perfect,

01:25:13.350 --> 01:25:16.720
defensive end? They had the game won, and he

01:25:16.720 --> 01:25:19.300
committed a personal foul. Yeah. And they lost

01:25:19.300 --> 01:25:21.319
it, and this is a championship game, right? Yeah.

01:25:22.260 --> 01:25:26.720
Fast forward three years ago, Kansas City, Arrowhead

01:25:26.720 --> 01:25:29.800
Stadium. Yeah, late hit out of bounds. Late hit

01:25:29.800 --> 01:25:33.079
out of bounds, same thing. Yeah. When you get

01:25:33.079 --> 01:25:37.439
people that are questionable, that's what happens.

01:25:37.600 --> 01:25:39.579
They're going to do questionable things at the

01:25:39.579 --> 01:25:43.279
wrong time. Yes. Yeah. Lack of disciplined players.

01:25:43.800 --> 01:25:48.119
is an indictment on the coaching staff, and also

01:25:48.119 --> 01:25:53.000
us this year, and last year even. Yeah. So, anyhow,

01:25:53.220 --> 01:25:54.880
I mean, I don't know where else to take that.

01:25:54.960 --> 01:25:57.600
We both feel kind of the same way. And, I mean,

01:25:57.619 --> 01:25:59.539
if he does go, it's going to go to a team he

01:25:59.539 --> 01:26:01.199
believes is going to win the Super Bowl. If not,

01:26:01.300 --> 01:26:02.920
I think he'll step down and just go, I'm done.

01:26:03.180 --> 01:26:07.159
Yeah. All right, should Kelsey retire after this

01:26:07.159 --> 01:26:11.130
season? I think he should. Me too. For the last

01:26:11.130 --> 01:26:13.909
two seasons, he hasn't looked like he wants to

01:26:13.909 --> 01:26:16.229
be there and just having fun or enjoying himself.

01:26:16.250 --> 01:26:19.649
He looks painful. Yeah. Yeah. He looks confused.

01:26:19.670 --> 01:26:22.689
He looks unhappy, like he'd rather be anywhere

01:26:22.689 --> 01:26:24.770
else than there. He doesn't have the fire, the

01:26:24.770 --> 01:26:27.510
passion. It's just like going through the motions.

01:26:27.770 --> 01:26:30.390
Every time he gets hit, he's got that look on

01:26:30.390 --> 01:26:32.329
his face like, why the fuck am I here? Yeah.

01:26:33.289 --> 01:26:35.920
Yeah. Damn, if I were sitting on the couch with

01:26:35.920 --> 01:26:37.800
Taylor right now, I wouldn't be in pain. I wouldn't

01:26:37.800 --> 01:26:39.899
be getting hit and having my guts ripped out.

01:26:39.979 --> 01:26:42.960
Yep. So, yeah, I think he's going to retire.

01:26:43.140 --> 01:26:45.199
Yeah. Good, bad, indifferent, whatever, he's

01:26:45.199 --> 01:26:46.920
gone. It's going to be a shame that his last

01:26:46.920 --> 01:26:50.260
two seasons were such suck fests. But, you know,

01:26:50.260 --> 01:26:52.380
last season on him personally and this season

01:26:52.380 --> 01:26:56.359
the entire team. But you don't always get to

01:26:56.359 --> 01:26:59.579
choose how you exit. No, that's true. Nope. And

01:26:59.579 --> 01:27:02.939
there's been many examples of this. Where you

01:27:02.939 --> 01:27:05.859
thought you got another year. Gronkowski is one

01:27:05.859 --> 01:27:07.840
of them. Yeah. You thought you had another year.

01:27:08.239 --> 01:27:11.100
And then midseason, you realize, I should have

01:27:11.100 --> 01:27:14.239
stopped right there. Yeah. I still say if they

01:27:14.239 --> 01:27:15.479
would have won the Super Bowl, he would have

01:27:15.479 --> 01:27:19.319
stepped down right after. Yeah. Okay. Kelsey

01:27:19.319 --> 01:27:23.460
is right under 800 yards. This season. Yeah.

01:27:23.720 --> 01:27:25.439
Minshew is a quarterback for the rest of the

01:27:25.439 --> 01:27:27.300
season. You know, the guy that threw the interception

01:27:27.300 --> 01:27:30.000
promptly. Mahomes probably would have too this

01:27:30.000 --> 01:27:34.520
year. Yeah, probably so. So. Does he get 1 ,000

01:27:34.520 --> 01:27:37.539
yards? No. I don't think so either just because

01:27:37.539 --> 01:27:39.960
of Minshew. But Minshew was just throwing to

01:27:39.960 --> 01:27:41.899
him, and that's how he got intercepted. Yeah.

01:27:42.340 --> 01:27:44.420
You've got to also look at the fact that Mahomes

01:27:44.420 --> 01:27:48.159
and Kelsey have more of a rapport than any two

01:27:48.159 --> 01:27:50.460
people on the team. Yes. Minshew doesn't have

01:27:50.460 --> 01:27:52.300
that rapport with him, so he's going to spread

01:27:52.300 --> 01:27:54.560
the ball out a lot more. Kelsey probably won't

01:27:54.560 --> 01:27:57.539
get even half the balls thrown his way that he

01:27:57.539 --> 01:27:59.619
has been. Yeah, we may be down to the fourth

01:27:59.619 --> 01:28:03.739
string by the time this season's over. All right.

01:28:07.039 --> 01:28:10.779
Okay, did the Chiefs and Mahomes specifically

01:28:10.779 --> 01:28:13.300
hurt their legacy this season by the horrendous

01:28:13.300 --> 01:28:15.939
play from top players? Yeah. I think so, too.

01:28:16.039 --> 01:28:20.739
They really did. Yeah. I think before. It was

01:28:20.739 --> 01:28:23.220
like one of the greatest dynasties ever. Now

01:28:23.220 --> 01:28:26.460
it's like, oh, my gosh. Oh, was this whole thing

01:28:26.460 --> 01:28:29.479
just a facade? Yeah, that's the question that's

01:28:29.479 --> 01:28:32.520
going to come up now is every win the Chiefs,

01:28:32.520 --> 01:28:34.659
every winning season and winning championship,

01:28:34.800 --> 01:28:36.159
et cetera, people are going to look at it and

01:28:36.159 --> 01:28:38.479
say probably it was just a fluke. Smoke and mirrors.

01:28:38.479 --> 01:28:40.699
Smoke and mirrors. Yeah. They've been saying

01:28:40.699 --> 01:28:43.090
that anyhow. You know, the coast bias. This gives

01:28:43.090 --> 01:28:45.449
them a lot more fuel and ammunition for that

01:28:45.449 --> 01:28:47.390
argument to say, yeah, look at the Chiefs this

01:28:47.390 --> 01:28:48.970
year and how they suck. Yeah, you've got the

01:28:48.970 --> 01:28:51.949
skip -tards and the cartons and people like that

01:28:51.949 --> 01:28:53.770
saying bullshit like that. They've been saying

01:28:53.770 --> 01:28:55.609
it for eight years, and now they're claiming

01:28:55.609 --> 01:28:57.909
victory like we said before. But, you know, a

01:28:57.909 --> 01:29:01.550
game as important as Sunday's game was and your

01:29:01.550 --> 01:29:05.630
leading rusher, Pacheco, has 11 carries for 21

01:29:05.630 --> 01:29:09.189
yards, there's no excuse for that. There's no

01:29:09.189 --> 01:29:11.350
way you can explain that away other than the

01:29:11.350 --> 01:29:13.989
coaching staff. Basically screwed the pooch.

01:29:14.029 --> 01:29:20.869
Yes. Yes. I agree. What percentage of this failure

01:29:20.869 --> 01:29:24.670
of the season is Mahomes' fault, and how much

01:29:24.670 --> 01:29:27.710
is the coaches' fault, and how much is the receivers'

01:29:28.010 --> 01:29:30.770
fault? And the coaches, I mean by the schemes

01:29:30.770 --> 01:29:34.229
and everything. I'm going to put half the blame

01:29:34.229 --> 01:29:39.630
on the coaching staff, and then 30 % on the homes,

01:29:39.649 --> 01:29:43.430
20 % on the receivers. Because I think the receivers

01:29:43.430 --> 01:29:48.029
have more talent than we saw. But the coaching

01:29:48.029 --> 01:29:51.210
staff, the scheme, the routes, et cetera, the

01:29:51.210 --> 01:29:54.270
coaches are not putting the players in the position

01:29:54.270 --> 01:29:58.869
where they can make plays and win. And then the

01:29:58.869 --> 01:30:01.189
20 % of the time when they're in the right spot,

01:30:01.310 --> 01:30:04.109
they drop it, they fumble it, they bat it to

01:30:04.109 --> 01:30:07.069
a defender, whatever. The receivers should probably

01:30:07.069 --> 01:30:10.449
get 25 % instead of 20%. Let's say Mahomes 25%,

01:30:10.449 --> 01:30:12.470
the receivers 25%, and the coaching staff the

01:30:12.470 --> 01:30:14.409
other 50 % because they're in charge. That's

01:30:14.409 --> 01:30:16.310
about right. And it's their job to make it work.

01:30:17.170 --> 01:30:20.229
Okay. All right. Thank you. Spread it out nice

01:30:20.229 --> 01:30:22.550
and even. Dallas people over there, close your

01:30:22.550 --> 01:30:27.970
ears. Okay. All right. Little Skippy, Little

01:30:27.970 --> 01:30:30.770
Skippy Bayless has had a very emotional day this

01:30:30.770 --> 01:30:34.250
day. I'm talking a couple days ago. He's joyous

01:30:34.250 --> 01:30:36.289
that the Chiefs are out, but then five hours

01:30:36.289 --> 01:30:38.890
later his Caltards are out as well. This is true.

01:30:39.050 --> 01:30:41.350
This is true. Could we all give him a proper

01:30:41.350 --> 01:30:44.850
fuck you? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Skip Tard, fuck you.

01:30:44.850 --> 01:30:49.869
Fuck you. All right. Last week we picked, what,

01:30:49.949 --> 01:30:56.130
five games. We both said Bengals over Ravens.

01:30:57.729 --> 01:31:01.210
That didn't work. No, I missed. As good as I

01:31:01.210 --> 01:31:05.489
was the first couple of games. Yeah. We both

01:31:05.489 --> 01:31:07.829
picked Chargers over Chiefs. Well, we got that.

01:31:08.130 --> 01:31:17.069
Yeah. Rams over Lions. Uh -huh. Seahawks over

01:31:17.069 --> 01:31:20.270
Colts. That worked out. We did better than I

01:31:20.270 --> 01:31:24.630
thought. And Broncos over Green Bay. Yep. So

01:31:24.630 --> 01:31:27.420
we were four for one last night. We did better

01:31:27.420 --> 01:31:30.619
than I thought. I was thinking we picked different

01:31:30.619 --> 01:31:33.399
for some reason. Oh wait, we did pick different

01:31:33.399 --> 01:31:35.840
on Chargers over Chiefs. I picked the Chargers.

01:31:36.119 --> 01:31:39.779
That's what I thought. I thought they had one

01:31:39.779 --> 01:31:43.260
more in them. Rams over Lions. One of us picked

01:31:43.260 --> 01:31:45.079
the Rams, one of us picked the Lions. I can't

01:31:45.079 --> 01:31:47.619
remember which. Because I put a second mark there.

01:31:50.520 --> 01:31:53.420
I don't know. I can't remember either, so it

01:31:53.420 --> 01:31:55.659
doesn't matter. Let us know in the comment section

01:31:55.659 --> 01:31:58.659
what we said last week. Believe me, believe me,

01:31:58.720 --> 01:32:01.500
they will. Believe me, they will. They're like

01:32:01.500 --> 01:32:04.300
little pit vipers way in the corner. Yeah. As

01:32:04.300 --> 01:32:06.560
soon as you say something just a little bit wrong,

01:32:06.739 --> 01:32:10.600
zap, they're like charging at you. Yeah. Which

01:32:10.600 --> 01:32:12.760
is fun. Keep us honest. That's all right. I'm

01:32:12.760 --> 01:32:14.579
telling you, Haiti milk goes to the front like

01:32:14.579 --> 01:32:19.939
always. Yeah. If I bother you that much, I want

01:32:19.939 --> 01:32:25.550
to hear about it. Yes. Let's see here. You got

01:32:25.550 --> 01:32:28.090
something? Yeah. What do you think it's going

01:32:28.090 --> 01:32:33.710
to take to turn around the Jets? Number one,

01:32:33.729 --> 01:32:36.390
new owner. Yeah. That owner is a buffoon. Yeah.

01:32:36.729 --> 01:32:40.029
Yeah. The owner lost all credibility last season

01:32:40.029 --> 01:32:42.670
when it became public knowledge that his teenage

01:32:42.670 --> 01:32:45.130
sons were making business decisions based on

01:32:45.130 --> 01:32:48.590
Madden football. Yes. So that tells you how to

01:32:48.590 --> 01:32:51.899
cloud a clue that guy is. Yeah, that guy, until

01:32:51.899 --> 01:32:56.239
they get a good owner, it's useless. Either that

01:32:56.239 --> 01:32:58.579
or he's got to completely step aside, turn it

01:32:58.579 --> 01:33:00.300
over to somebody else and say, I'm just going

01:33:00.300 --> 01:33:02.039
to rake in the profits and you run the show.

01:33:02.199 --> 01:33:04.319
So far he has not shown that ability. No, he's

01:33:04.319 --> 01:33:06.899
trying to be Jerry Jones, and he's not even being

01:33:06.899 --> 01:33:09.760
a Jerry Jones yet. No, the league needs to kick

01:33:09.760 --> 01:33:13.619
him out. So you've got to sell the team. So the

01:33:13.619 --> 01:33:15.640
Jets, they have to start with a cornerstone,

01:33:15.699 --> 01:33:18.460
and that would be the quarterback. They have

01:33:18.460 --> 01:33:22.479
to. Keep losing like they are. Use that number

01:33:22.479 --> 01:33:25.899
one pick wisely. I don't know if it's this year,

01:33:26.039 --> 01:33:29.800
so maybe you suck another year, but you find

01:33:29.800 --> 01:33:32.539
that guy. You find that guy that's going to be

01:33:32.539 --> 01:33:35.140
your cornerstone, and you build around him. They

01:33:35.140 --> 01:33:37.560
already dealt Sauce Gardner, didn't they? Yes,

01:33:37.560 --> 01:33:41.380
they did. We almost got him, which sucks. They

01:33:41.380 --> 01:33:43.460
wanted a fourth round, and we were offering a

01:33:43.460 --> 01:33:45.159
sixth round. I don't know why they didn't do

01:33:45.159 --> 01:33:47.529
it. They're going to blow that fourth round anyhow

01:33:47.529 --> 01:33:50.449
in previous years. I mean, it's like, you know,

01:33:50.449 --> 01:33:54.829
Sky Moore. Yeah. Yeah. They still have Brees

01:33:54.829 --> 01:33:57.770
Hall, the running back. Yeah. He is possibly

01:33:57.770 --> 01:34:00.510
on the trading block. I mean, when the Chiefs

01:34:00.510 --> 01:34:02.170
were in need of a running back, they were talking

01:34:02.170 --> 01:34:04.310
about him. Right before the trade deadline, they

01:34:04.310 --> 01:34:06.670
might try to get Brees Hall. I think they ought

01:34:06.670 --> 01:34:07.810
to just go ahead and trade him. I think so, too.

01:34:07.810 --> 01:34:09.489
Because a running back you can get anywhere.

01:34:09.609 --> 01:34:14.100
I agree. Yep. Yeah, they should be trading off

01:34:14.100 --> 01:34:16.779
all the players that other people want and then

01:34:16.779 --> 01:34:18.260
rebuilding from the ground up. Chris Jones should

01:34:18.260 --> 01:34:21.539
be number one. Chris Jones will command a couple

01:34:21.539 --> 01:34:24.000
of draft picks. Yeah, yeah. I think the Jets

01:34:24.000 --> 01:34:25.720
will probably sign him. I think so, too. The

01:34:25.720 --> 01:34:29.319
Jets are dumb enough. If not, then maybe the

01:34:29.319 --> 01:34:31.039
Titans because they've got about everyone else

01:34:31.039 --> 01:34:37.159
we throw in. Yeah. I would go for something bold

01:34:37.159 --> 01:34:40.520
and dramatic. If I were the owner of the Jets,

01:34:40.539 --> 01:34:43.279
I would rename myself the New Jersey Jets. Just

01:34:43.279 --> 01:34:46.119
be honest about it. You practice in Jersey. You

01:34:46.119 --> 01:34:49.000
play in Jersey. You represent Jersey more than

01:34:49.000 --> 01:34:51.739
you ever do New York. So just go ahead and call

01:34:51.739 --> 01:34:54.199
yourselves the New Jersey Jets and own it. You

01:34:54.199 --> 01:34:56.760
might get some new fans. You might? Yeah. You

01:34:56.760 --> 01:35:02.340
might? Yeah. Yeah, no, I agree. So, new owner.

01:35:02.729 --> 01:35:05.489
New owner, and then we can talk. But until they

01:35:05.489 --> 01:35:07.670
have that same owner, it's going to be abysmal.

01:35:07.789 --> 01:35:10.409
Yeah, it's kind of like Jerry Jones. If Jerry

01:35:10.409 --> 01:35:14.090
Jones could stay out of it and quit loving the

01:35:14.090 --> 01:35:16.529
spotlight so much, Dallas would do a lot better.

01:35:16.670 --> 01:35:20.329
I agree. But Jerry Jones has made at least two

01:35:20.329 --> 01:35:23.510
big errors. Well, look at Micah Parsons. He traded

01:35:23.510 --> 01:35:26.789
him and then told everybody. It was like, oh,

01:35:26.850 --> 01:35:29.970
by the way, we got rid of this elite pass rusher.

01:35:30.560 --> 01:35:33.220
Yesterday, I just thought I'd let you know. And,

01:35:33.239 --> 01:35:35.579
you know, Dallas' defense was fine without him.

01:35:35.659 --> 01:35:38.500
They were still a fine defense. But imagine how

01:35:38.500 --> 01:35:41.100
shut down they would have been with him. Yes.

01:35:41.119 --> 01:35:44.439
And then they don't have to rely on Dak constantly

01:35:44.439 --> 01:35:46.619
throwing and probably throwing an interception.

01:35:46.659 --> 01:35:49.180
Yeah, having Micah Parsons on the Cowboys probably

01:35:49.180 --> 01:35:53.319
would have kept the other team seven points less

01:35:53.319 --> 01:35:57.170
per game. Yes, I agree. And also he's injured

01:35:57.170 --> 01:35:59.569
now anyhow. He's out for the season. Yeah. Yeah.

01:35:59.590 --> 01:36:02.090
So he didn't do Green Bay at the end of the day.

01:36:02.390 --> 01:36:04.289
He didn't do Green Bay that much good either.

01:36:04.329 --> 01:36:06.829
That's true. No, but if he was with Dallas still,

01:36:06.930 --> 01:36:09.329
they would have a shutdown defense. Yeah. And

01:36:09.329 --> 01:36:11.850
they would have to rely on Dak Prescott making

01:36:11.850 --> 01:36:14.369
the plays that he has to. Yeah. Which a lot of

01:36:14.369 --> 01:36:18.899
them he cannot. Yeah. So. Yeah. But if you've

01:36:18.899 --> 01:36:21.060
got somebody like Kurt Warner as your quarterback,

01:36:21.300 --> 01:36:23.100
you're not worried about the defense so much

01:36:23.100 --> 01:36:24.739
because you know you're going to score 50 points

01:36:24.739 --> 01:36:27.640
a game. Yeah. So you can get away with it in

01:36:27.640 --> 01:36:30.420
that situation. Yes. I mean, Miami got to a Super

01:36:30.420 --> 01:36:33.300
Bowl back in the 80s by outscoring everybody

01:36:33.300 --> 01:36:36.140
and not giving a damn about defense. But they

01:36:36.140 --> 01:36:40.920
didn't win it. No, they did not. Yeah. No, but,

01:36:40.979 --> 01:36:43.380
yeah, that just shows you, like, the – what's

01:36:43.380 --> 01:36:45.319
in the game right there. Yeah. Because you can

01:36:45.319 --> 01:36:47.239
outscore everybody all year long, but at the

01:36:47.239 --> 01:36:49.119
end of the day, what's going to win you anything

01:36:49.119 --> 01:36:51.560
is the defense. Yeah. And that is one of the

01:36:51.560 --> 01:36:53.460
problems with the Chiefs like we talked. Lack

01:36:53.460 --> 01:36:57.260
of critical execution. Yeah. Yeah. It's pretty

01:36:57.260 --> 01:36:58.720
much long and short of their season. Whenever

01:36:58.720 --> 01:37:00.880
they absolutely needed something, they could

01:37:00.880 --> 01:37:03.159
not get it done. Yeah. That's going to be the

01:37:03.159 --> 01:37:05.760
story of this season is the stars of the team.

01:37:05.760 --> 01:37:07.579
You guys want to talk? I just want to add two

01:37:07.579 --> 01:37:11.430
things. Yeah, come on. The Chiefs suck, and go

01:37:11.430 --> 01:37:14.649
Dallas Cowboys. We deserve it this year. We absolutely

01:37:14.649 --> 01:37:16.430
deserve it. We deserve it this year. I think

01:37:16.430 --> 01:37:17.989
I'm just going to sit there and look at our three

01:37:17.989 --> 01:37:22.430
rings in the last five Super Bowls. And it will

01:37:22.430 --> 01:37:25.689
make me feel much better. Hey, good luck to the

01:37:25.689 --> 01:37:28.090
Cowboys. We're certainly not holding on to those.

01:37:28.390 --> 01:37:30.409
Hey, you know what I want to see for real? I've

01:37:30.409 --> 01:37:32.350
been wanting to see this for a long time. Cowboys

01:37:32.350 --> 01:37:34.989
-Chiefs. Yeah. That would be an awesome Super

01:37:34.989 --> 01:37:37.510
Bowl. Yeah, that would be. It's even regional,

01:37:37.510 --> 01:37:46.890
too. Yeah. Is that when Jerry Jones is going

01:37:46.890 --> 01:37:54.170
to die? Maybe that's when it is. Yeah, I agree.

01:37:55.770 --> 01:37:57.649
All right, have a good day. Nice talking to you

01:37:57.649 --> 01:38:02.130
guys. Yeah, I think Jerry Jones' next step is

01:38:02.130 --> 01:38:04.029
he's going to have his consciousness put into

01:38:04.029 --> 01:38:07.289
one of Elon Musk's robots. And he'll just live

01:38:07.289 --> 01:38:11.430
forever. Yes. Like those floating heads on Futurama.

01:38:11.529 --> 01:38:16.819
Yeah. Yeah, or Walt Disney. No, no, no. Was it

01:38:16.819 --> 01:38:21.619
Walt Disney? Some famous guy. What was the one?

01:38:21.680 --> 01:38:25.619
Was it Casey Kasem? That they had his head? Ted

01:38:25.619 --> 01:38:27.479
Williams, the baseball player. Ted Williams was

01:38:27.479 --> 01:38:29.380
one of them. Yeah, except they let it fall out

01:38:29.380 --> 01:38:31.859
a couple of times accidentally. The skull cracked

01:38:31.859 --> 01:38:35.920
wide open. It's just a hunk of biological waste

01:38:35.920 --> 01:38:39.279
right now. That nobody knows what to do with

01:38:39.279 --> 01:38:42.630
it. It's funny. People have their heads frozen.

01:38:42.630 --> 01:38:45.689
It's like, okay, in how many years they thaw

01:38:45.689 --> 01:38:47.949
you out, but you're still dead. You still died

01:38:47.949 --> 01:38:51.109
of something. They're thawing out a corpse. Just

01:38:51.109 --> 01:38:54.350
freezing you doesn't make a difference. No. As

01:38:54.350 --> 01:38:56.310
a matter of fact, last night I did a report on

01:38:56.310 --> 01:39:01.310
Royal Caribbean. They're in a lawsuit. A guy

01:39:01.310 --> 01:39:03.770
that died. They over -served him 33 drinks and

01:39:03.770 --> 01:39:06.659
he died. Oh, I heard about that, yeah. mashing

01:39:06.659 --> 01:39:08.779
on doors and windows, just being out of control,

01:39:08.920 --> 01:39:11.260
and then he dies somehow. But the thing is, they

01:39:11.260 --> 01:39:12.960
said that they stuffed him in the refrigerator.

01:39:14.399 --> 01:39:17.100
Instead of, like, the morgue, they just threw

01:39:17.100 --> 01:39:19.020
him in the refrigerator as one of their alleged

01:39:19.020 --> 01:39:23.140
crimes. Wow. Yeah, that's illegal to treat human

01:39:23.140 --> 01:39:26.260
remains that way. It's going to be anxious to

01:39:26.260 --> 01:39:28.079
see how that... I predict it's going to be settled

01:39:28.079 --> 01:39:30.500
out of court because of that. Oh, I'm sure. But,

01:39:30.920 --> 01:39:37.090
anyhow, we'll see. You got anything more? I think

01:39:37.090 --> 01:39:38.890
that's all the football stuff. We already covered

01:39:38.890 --> 01:39:41.770
the University of Michigan and the head coach

01:39:41.770 --> 01:39:44.090
there, which reflects completely on Jim Harbaugh,

01:39:44.149 --> 01:39:46.350
I believe. Yeah, because he loved him. Just loved

01:39:46.350 --> 01:39:50.010
him. Yeah. Oh, I got one here, and then I guess

01:39:50.010 --> 01:39:52.010
we'll go into music creeps. Sure. How long do

01:39:52.010 --> 01:39:56.949
we have? Coming up on an hour 40. Okay. All right.

01:39:57.289 --> 01:40:00.409
Bengals defend leaving snow across stadium seats,

01:40:00.510 --> 01:40:04.529
potentially violating NFL policy. Oh. Yeah, a

01:40:04.529 --> 01:40:07.109
flurry of wild weather hit the NFL on Sunday,

01:40:07.210 --> 01:40:10.050
including the Cincinnati Bengals' Paycourse Stadium.

01:40:10.890 --> 01:40:17.130
The athletic Paul Donher photographed the stadium's

01:40:17.130 --> 01:40:20.949
lower cut. covered in ice and snow prior to the

01:40:20.949 --> 01:40:23.229
kickoff against the Baltimore Ravens. According

01:40:23.229 --> 01:40:27.489
to the NFL's 2022 -2023 operations manual, the

01:40:27.489 --> 01:40:30.430
Bengals may have violated NFL policies by failing

01:40:30.430 --> 01:40:32.789
to clear snow on the Paycourse Stadium seats.

01:40:33.109 --> 01:40:36.069
Wow. Yeah. I didn't know that was policy. Me

01:40:36.069 --> 01:40:39.390
neither. Now you see why Buffalo hires all those

01:40:39.390 --> 01:40:41.770
people and lets them in the game. Green Bay does

01:40:41.770 --> 01:40:43.130
the same thing. Green Bay does too, yeah. They

01:40:43.130 --> 01:40:44.989
say show up with a shovel and we'll pay you $10.

01:40:45.500 --> 01:40:47.619
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we'll pay you $10. You can

01:40:47.619 --> 01:40:51.239
watch a game after. Yep. Each home team is responsible

01:40:51.239 --> 01:40:54.079
for having a snow removal plan in place and ensuring

01:40:54.079 --> 01:40:56.739
that a stadium has adequate snow removal equipment

01:40:56.739 --> 01:40:59.899
available. Snow and ice must be removed from

01:40:59.899 --> 01:41:02.420
the stadium before all games. This applies to

01:41:02.420 --> 01:41:06.720
the playing field, sidelines, seating bowl, aisles,

01:41:06.739 --> 01:41:09.199
pedestrian ramps, walkways, parking lots, etc.

01:41:10.060 --> 01:41:12.359
And it says what pages, but who gives a shit.

01:41:12.500 --> 01:41:15.619
And before anybody gets excited about doing that

01:41:15.619 --> 01:41:17.720
to make the fan experience better, no, they're

01:41:17.720 --> 01:41:20.119
doing it to limit the liability of people slipping

01:41:20.119 --> 01:41:21.899
and falling and getting injured on that snow

01:41:21.899 --> 01:41:23.979
and ice. That's all it is. That is the reason

01:41:23.979 --> 01:41:26.079
why they have you remove it, is because it's

01:41:26.079 --> 01:41:28.420
an accident liability waiting to happen. If you

01:41:28.420 --> 01:41:30.300
couldn't sue them, they wouldn't care less. Yeah,

01:41:30.359 --> 01:41:32.399
it's not like they actually care about the fans.

01:41:32.859 --> 01:41:36.819
No. They disguise it as that, allegedly. But,

01:41:36.899 --> 01:41:38.960
yeah, they wouldn't spend any money on snow removal

01:41:38.960 --> 01:41:41.140
if they weren't worried about lawsuits. Yep.

01:41:41.279 --> 01:41:43.359
Well, the Bengals' response is this right here.

01:41:43.500 --> 01:41:45.920
They defended the stadium's conditions in a statement.

01:41:46.560 --> 01:41:48.920
Seat aisles were prioritized and are in good

01:41:48.920 --> 01:41:51.520
shape. Seats are easily wiped off and ushers

01:41:51.520 --> 01:41:53.140
are equipped to help there, the organization

01:41:53.140 --> 01:41:56.300
said. That's a whole lot of blah, blah. Well,

01:41:56.319 --> 01:41:58.220
yeah, you wipe off the seat and now it's on the

01:41:58.220 --> 01:42:00.319
floor right where you put your feet. And that's

01:42:00.319 --> 01:42:03.260
not any better. Yeah. The knees be actually removed,

01:42:03.399 --> 01:42:05.239
not just moved from the seat onto the floor.

01:42:05.880 --> 01:42:11.680
Yep. Crazy. Yep. Just yet another thing that,

01:42:11.739 --> 01:42:13.840
you know, there's hundreds of these against the

01:42:13.840 --> 01:42:16.960
Cincinnati organization and how they cheap out,

01:42:17.119 --> 01:42:19.619
they weasel out, they try not to spend money

01:42:19.619 --> 01:42:24.340
if they don't have to. It's not a fun, enjoyable

01:42:24.340 --> 01:42:27.260
place to play just because they make it so low

01:42:27.260 --> 01:42:32.319
budget. Yeah. I agree. I agree. All right. Is

01:42:32.319 --> 01:42:34.479
that all we have for here? I believe so. All

01:42:34.479 --> 01:42:36.600
right, then. Let's go ahead and go to the music

01:42:36.600 --> 01:42:40.439
creeps. We'll end this. Thanks for listening.

01:42:40.659 --> 01:42:42.760
Yeah, hey, everybody, thank you. Sorry, I was

01:42:42.760 --> 01:42:44.779
trying to get the USB drives. I forgot about

01:42:44.779 --> 01:42:46.680
it. Hey, everybody, we really appreciate you

01:42:46.680 --> 01:42:48.600
listening. The numbers really reflect it. We

01:42:48.600 --> 01:42:50.479
thank you so much, and go fuck yourself.
