Coming at you live from the historic River Market
in downtown Kansas City, Missouri. This is the
Sports Bastards. This is the world's most comprehensive
sports show ever. Featuring F .L. Talk. And on
the hatchet, here it comes. Arambe used to listen
to our original show, Too Dipsious and Cheap
Radio Shack Realistic Tape Recorder. Harambe
does not listen to our original show, Two Dipshits
and a Cheap Radio Shack Realistic Tape Recorder
anymore. You might ask why Harambe never listens
to our original show, Two Dipshits and a Cheap
Radio Shack Realistic Tape Recorder. Well, it's
because Harambe is dead. Senselessly murdered
because some idiot did not watch her child properly
while looking on her phone. Sadly, Harambe does
not listen to our original show, Two Dipshits
and a Cheap Radio Shack Realistic Tape Recorder
or any other show. Sorry, Harambe. Two tool bags
and a socket wrench. We'll be right back. All
right, the sports bastards. Here we are again.
Yes. We had a little bit of exciting news, different
news last night. But actually, Saran is the first
one to report it a few days ago. Oh, yeah? Yeah,
yeah. He put out, I think, a tweet saying, hey,
I have it by good authority that Monday, I think
this is Friday when he did it. He said, this
is going down Monday, and the stadium's going
to Kansas. And he was correct. Yep, yep. That's
something we've been talking about for a while,
is that they're going to go to Wyandotte County
in the Legends area. Yeah. And put some off.
This is in Johnson County. It's exactly what
they're doing. So, yeah. The thing is right here
is we're kind of under the impression that this
is our thoughts only. This is allegedly. But
we think that. Missouri just was putting on a
show, and they knew they were never going to
get them in the first place. Yeah, yeah. I think
considering the way Missouri behaved, the people
involved, they acted like they were unorganized,
didn't have a clue. I mean, you could believe
they're all really stupid and incompetent, but
it makes a lot more sense that they knew already
that it wasn't going to happen. It was going
to Wyandotte County, and they needed Kansas City
and Missouri and Jackson County to put on a good
show. Which they did. To quote Quentin Lucas,
at least we have the streetcars. Yes, so proud
that we still have the streetcars. So take that
for whatever you want. I'm going to go get our
coffees. I'll be right back. All righty. And
we're back. Which one's mine? I don't know. Let's
take a look. I think that's the medium, isn't
it? Take a look at this one. That one's yours.
It's got foam on it. You see, I think Cubano
is the same size as a medium to large, so that's
how come we don't know. That thing's extremely
hot. I'm going to have to wait a little bit.
Yeah, mine is pre -piped in itself, and I forgot
my imperial sugars or whatever. Scoot the table
back this way so it's easier to get in and out.
I've got to go get my naked sugar. Oh, yeah,
okay. Be right back. All right, before we get
going, I want to give a shout -out to... Decalin
Zacharias Metcalf. Good old Decalin Zacharias.
If you know, you know. He'll come clear later.
Good old Decalin Zacharias. He's something else.
I would have throttled somebody too. What you
do is you slap your parents for giving you that
stupid handle. My name is DePerkins, Scrabbler
Tiles, Smegmanoid. There you go. Yeah, yeah.
Well, I'm DeMarcus. Wait, there is DeMarcuses,
isn't there? Yeah. Yeah, there's DeMarcus and
Jemarcus. And Jemarcus. Yeah. Okay. For a while
there, the J apostrophe was very popular. I'll
be Dajon Marcus. Dajon, yeah. Dajon Marcus. There
we go. Dajon, there we go. All right, all right.
Glad we got that figured out. Yes. Okay, so we
both feel... The same way. Now, it looked to
me like Missouri is, okay, Kansas has been so
organized with this. Yeah. And that was one of
the reasons we knew they were going to do this.
It's like they've had their ducks in a row where
Missouri's like, we could do this. I don't know.
Hang on. Let's see if we can get this. Oh, I
don't know. The people in Kansas were the only
ones who looked like they had a plan and knew
what they were doing. Yeah. They had a good plan,
a workable plan, and they got the sports gambling
legalized first. Yes. And, yeah. Well, I'll put
it like this. While Kansas City... is worried
about the world cup and other things going on
all the counties in kansas around us are surpassing
us on so many levels yeah and it's really it's
uh i'm just waiting for the population to be
more in kansas here now and actually the downtown
area be considered kansas one of these days yeah
yeah it really seems like the missouri projects
and specifically the kansas city missouri projects
fall into the category of it's going to cost
a bunch of money, it's never going to make money,
but it will show the country and the world what
a city we are. I'm so glad we have streetcars.
But Kansas is doing their plan. They don't have
streetcars. They're going to spend some money
and then the thing they do is going to make them
money. But they don't have streetcars. Right.
They don't have the rest of the country. thinking
how virtuous they are. Kansas City, Missouri,
their projects are based on virtue signaling
to the rest of the country. I agree. Kansas'
projects are based on let's make more money for
Kansas and bring in more tourism and blah, blah,
blah. I said this last episode and I stick by
it. We have people in areas in Kansas City of
importance and prominence that are more interested
in photo ops. They are actually getting the...
The town better, the city better. I mean, if
they're that worried about it, they'd start taking
on crime a little bit more serious than what
they're doing. Yeah, yeah, it really shows you
that the people that we've elected and put in
power have their own agenda and the things they
give a damn, and making things better for us
just isn't one of them. We have streetcars. Oh,
yes, yes. Okay, I just wanted everyone to know
that. Little old lady got raped last night, but
at least she was able to take a streetcar to
the emergency room. Oh, my God. So, all right,
so I got a little write -up about this whole
thing here. Okay. Monday's LCC meeting received
unanimous consent by lawmakers and was attended
by top officials with chiefs like owner Clark
Hunt. So the proposal states that Kansas sales
tax and revenue, star bonds, will cover up to
70 % of the total stadium construction costs.
The bond will be paid off with state sales and
liquor tax revenues generated in a defined area
around the sports complex. So the whole area
around there is going to be paying for it. So
when you go to have the Arrowhead experience,
you're paying for it right there. And that's
so smart because you get people from all over
the country who travel here for a game, and they're
helping to pay for your stadium. And they don't
care. And I worked my entire 32 years at the
Postal Service in Wyandotte County, and I learned
a lot about what's going on there. All the stuff
they've done with Star Bonds, they paid them
all off early because they made the money back.
Yeah. They have a very smart government to where
I can't really say the same around here. No,
no. All right, the tax revenues generated in
the defined area around the sports complex. The
Associated Press said this. It has previously
been used to build local attractions like the
Kansas Speedway and the Tangier and Legends Outlets
in Kansas City, Kansas. Yep. I remember when
all that was just bare ground. It really was.
It was bare ground and some trailer parks. I
do, too. It wasn't that long ago. No. It's just
enormous, and it's just a giant money printer
right now. It was a great spot for a tornado
to land. Yeah. Because if there was one around,
it was going to land right there. Yeah. But they
got the tornado paint out, all the trailer parts.
Yeah, they did. They got rid of all the trailer
parts. So now they have to go to southern Missouri
to hit something. They couldn't find very many.
They're like, no luck here. That is about when
Joplin got hit, isn't it? They got to get rid
of their trailer parts. I hope they did. So,
okay, it has been rumored that this area in Western
Wyandotte County could be the future home of
the Chiefs, according to legislators who spoke
previously with Fox 4. This came off Fox 4's
website, by the way. This is confirmed on Monday
afternoon when the Chiefs shared the official
team website. And it plans to build a state -of
-the -art dome stadium and mixed -use district
alongside a best -in -class training facility,
team headquarters. That's going to be in Olathe
at another mixed -use district. So it's so smart
to get both of the prominent Kansas counties
involved. The two that are right up against the
state line and the board of the KC Metro area.
That's so smart. Yeah, I mean, there's people
that come in for practices to watch them. Let's
say someone's coming in from Arkansas. We're
going to go around that mixed -use area. They're
going to spend money, and that's going to create
revenue for everybody. I'm pretty sure whatever
facilities they build, It's where either the
ones in Wico or the ones in Olathe, that's where
they're going to do some training camp because
that's where they want the tourists to show up
and spend their money. That's brilliant, too.
Why have them go up to St. Joe and spend their
money there? Have them keep their money right
here. No, no, I love it. It's a great idea. That
might have been part of the agreement with Kansas
is they say, hell no, you're not going to Missouri
for your training camp. You're bringing that
money here, too. I would bet that that was somewhere
in there. I would bet it is. I know we're keeping
it right here in town. But, of course, they'll
put it as. well, why go to St. Joseph when we've
got this nice new facility here? And it's like,
yeah, well, you're contractually forced to. Yes,
yeah. Well, that's the way they're going to spin
it because that's what they do. Now, I also want
to remind everybody, they are not the Overland
Park Chiefs. They are not the Olathe Chiefs.
They're not the Leavenworth Chiefs. They are
the Kansas City Chiefs still because this is
Kansas City, Kansas. They're only moving states,
but as far as the city name goes, same thing.
Exactly the same. Which is brilliant, too. Yeah,
that is brilliant. They have the KC on their
uniform. Nothing really has to change unless
they want it to. Now, there's some things that
they are going to change. You know, we can talk
about how the fan experience is definitely going
to change. Okay. Do you want to go into, let's
see, PSLs? Let's start with PSLs and work our
way into tailgating, okay? Okay, yeah. private
seating licenses, ask the Buffalo Bills fans
about that, because next year when their new
stadium opens up, you're not going to be able
to buy a ticket unless you buy a license to get
a ticket first. So it's a reshuffling of the
fan base of the season ticket holders. They're
going to price a lot of people out out of this.
And that's intentional. Yeah. And I think they're
going to do the same thing with the Chiefs. Think
about it. You've only got, what, 65 ,000 or so
seats in the Dome Stadium? Yep. You want to make
sure the people with the most money to spend
are in those seats. Yes. So you make it more
expensive to get there in the first place. That
way you pretty much guarantee whoever shows up
on game day has got a lot of money to spend.
Yep. And that's what they want more than they
want the... They'll tell you, oh, the hardcore
diehard fans and the passion. No. They're looking
at your wallet, how much you have to spend. Yeah.
Yep. Yeah, so we knew this was coming, and we've
been preaching this for a long time, and they're
going for the money. It is business. It is business.
They're not your friend. There's no giving us
a hug, nothing. This is business. If you want
to be a player, you're going to have to pay the
money. If you don't, then you're going to sit
at home and watch them like the rest of us. And
I have a feeling that by 2031... Any team in
the NFL whose game day attendance is dropping,
they're going to use AI to fill in the stands
for them. So you'll never know the difference.
Didn't they already do that? Yeah, they're already
doing that. The Panthers got caught doing that
last season. They over -reported attendance,
but you can see from the video that there weren't
that many people. But now they're going to taint
the video. And they're going to fill the empty
seats with AI people, and they're going to ramp
up the crowd volume so the people sitting at
home think, wow, what a sold -out fun place.
I'm going to go next week. True. Yeah, so, okay,
so the PSLs are coming. Yeah. The luxury boxes.
You know, I mean, Arrowhead is from 1970. Yeah.
Okay? There's only so many things you can do
with that. Yeah. It's a huge concrete structure
with stuff that's been added on to it. Yeah.
And there's nothing around it. No development.
53 years it's been sitting there in Jackson County
has developed nothing. Nothing. Not a damn thing
around the stadium complex. I'd go to Kansas
too. I don't blame them. It makes the optimal
amount of sense. And like I said, it's business.
Yep. It's business. So don't think that they
owe you a hug or anything because they don't.
And look at the Casey Current. They put their
stadium down there, and now they've got plans
to put all sorts of stuff around there and develop
the area. That's where I would love to see Arrowhead
go, right there. You're traveling on I -29. Let's
say you're not even stopping at Kansas City,
right? Oh, yeah, just driving through. Yeah,
you're going from Des Moines to Dallas. You're
going down I -29, and all of a sudden everyone's
like, hey, hey, hey, guys, look, is that Arrowhead
over there? Yeah, it sure is. Oh, hell yeah.
I mean, that's what people do on I -70 now. Yeah.
So you're driving through Denver, you can see
their stadium right there. Yeah, yep. I flip
it off every time, but every time I go that way.
But as the owner of the Chiefs, you see them
putting in a stadium facility and then dedicating
themselves, committing themselves to developing
around it. And then you look at your stadium,
it's sitting there with nothing around it, and
it's been sitting there with nothing around it
for 50 years. You've got to know Jackson County
isn't going to do shit for you, and they've made
it very plain. that they weren't going to do
anything more for the Chiefs or the Royals. No,
I know. And that whole thing is so dismal. I
mean, I love Arrowhead and I love Coffman Stadium
and all that, but the thing is the area is just...
It's ugly. It's ugly, yeah. It's not the fault
of the area or the people. It's just it's been
neglected. It's been neglected, yeah. It's been
utterly neglected. So while they're trying to
arrange these other areas, Kansas City, in my
opinion, should have been trying to... Get something
going there. You have a little bit of clout to
stand on. This is another reason why I think
they never really thought they were going to
obtain the Chiefs again. The Royals, they're
probably going to go to Kansas too. But Ware
is up for grabs. You see the Royals, I would
want to see them in downtown. I would like to
see them at Washington Square, like you're talking
about. Yeah, and I think that makes a lot more
sense. And it's a good reason for putting in
all the streetcars and the public transport is
put it somewhere where you don't have to maintain
a big -ass parking structure. You can have a
smaller one and then charge people insane amounts
to park there because there's limited spacing.
It's like, oh, well, 18 ,000 -seat ballpark,
and we've got 5 ,000 parking spaces, so each
one's going to be $200 a game. Yeah, and people
will buy it. The people that can afford it, they
don't want to walk or they don't want to ride
a streetcar from, let's say, right here at the
city market. Let's say they park here and they
go to the game and they ride the streetcar. So,
yeah, the people with money aren't going to do
that. They don't want to leave their nice car
over here and be over there. They don't want
to get stuck in traffic. They just want it like,
oh, it's just me and 200 other people. Or they'll
take an Uber or something like that because they
can afford it and they don't care. And that's
the way they plan these things out backwards
from what you think. They'll have a company do
an analytic and say, how many people would pay
$200 a game for parking? And the analytic comes
by and says, about 5 ,000 people. So they say,
great, we'll build a 5 ,000 space parking lot.
That's how they figure it out. They maximize
everything in advance. And they've already planned
to price you out already. But it's already been
worked in there. It's already going on. Back
to the dome. Oh, dome. I wish it was retractable
like first reported. I don't like dome stadiums.
They're so sterile. The sound is awful. They're
really awful for other venues. I mean, they're
going to have other events there, and they're
just going to sound like crap because it's a
dome. Domes just sound like shit. Yeah, the optimal
one would have been a retractable roof, which
wouldn't have been that much more, so I don't
understand why they didn't just go ahead and
pull the trigger on the retractable roof. Yeah,
yeah. Well, for fan comfort, they'll never open
the roof. Oh, I know. I think... Game attendance
is going to start becoming less important because
the TV coverage and now the gambling opportunities
are the two big money makers for the NFL. Having
people show up on game day is still good. You
still make money there, but it's not nearly as
important. So they'll make a nice, friendly environment
because the diehard fans are going to disappear
and the casual, hey, I just feel like going,
and oh good, it's inside, we'll be comfortable.
You know, that kind of fan you can bring in.
It's... They better not call it Arrowhead. Oh,
no. They build a new dome stadium over there.
Or Arrowhead. No. Arrowhead West. None of that.
No. No, I don't want the name Arrowhead used
at all. What about Geha? Yeah, we'll see if Geha
still wants to... Geha, that's it. Still wants
to sponsor them. Yeah, let's see if Geha is going
to sponsor them over there. Well, and also, Kansas
City has other things going on, too. Lockton
Corporation, big, big company on the plaza, on
the Country Club Plaza, is moving to Overland
Park. Everything that we just said, the crime
and everything, I mean, the taxes, everything,
people are getting out of here. It's kind of
like what's happening to California. Their business
is, what was it, Valero? Yeah. They just took
a $1 billion loss so they could get out of California
because they just can't do business in the California
regulations. It's impossible. Yeah, it's impossible
to. Yeah, so expect there to be some fuel shortages
for a while. Yeah. Because you can't pick up
your refinery and take it with you. No. You've
got to go build a new one. Yeah, and then building
one is not that easy either. It's going to take
a while. Yeah. So tailgating. Oh, yeah. Let's
go ahead and get into that and why tailgating
is so, why we have to talk about it. Yeah. Okay,
you spoke before about how, I think, was it in
Cleveland? Yeah, Cleveland's new stadium, tailgating
is going to be a subscription service. Yes. You
cannot tailgate unless you pay the monthly fee.
And they have a designated tailgating area. Uh
-huh. That's, I'm sure that's what the Chiefs
are going to do because the days of unrestricted...
barbecue cookers and grills and things. It's
too much liability. And you said it on the way
down here too. They're going to use your children
as an example. They're going to go, we can't
have this. It's so unsafe. There's always fires
and your little kids are running around. You
don't want them to catch on fire. Little Billy
catches on fire. You don't want that. Oh no,
I don't want little Billy on fire. Okay then,
you're going to have to just go by our rules.
And that's like, you've got to buy our food.
You've got to buy everything from here, probably
even beer and everything. They're going to make
you sound like an anarchist if you don't agree
to their subscription -based tailgating at the
stadium. But yeah, you're probably going to wind
up having to buy their pre -approved food because
they're going to say, well, we don't know what
people might be bringing in. We don't have time
to search at all, so you can't bring anything.
What if someone can't have pork and they accidentally
grab some? We can't have that here at Arrowhead
or whatever they call it. Or they can dummy up
a story about somebody passing around. food that
was tainted and a bunch of people got sick and
it never happened but they'll convince people
it did and then they'll say oh yeah we need more
regulation because the dummies stand in line
for that yeah they stand in line for that and
anytime you hear them use the use the word children
watch out oh yeah because they know that everybody
is like What about my child? He could be in danger
sometime. Yeah. What? Tell me more. That burning
barbecue grill over there could permanently disfigure
your child. It's just safer if we just take them
away. Oh, how much is it to get around this?
How much is it? Take my money, please. Yeah,
here. Here. Yeah, so we know how this is going
to go, and when it unfolds, at least give us
credit. I've heard Lamar Hunt talking about...
You know, he's always been after the Chiefs fans'
best experience. And then his father was at NC.
He tried to use the example that they moved from
Dallas to Kansas City Municipal Stadium and then
moved to Arrowhead Stadium. And it's like, see,
we've moved before. It's no big deal. Did you
pay for all that? And they didn't move from Dallas.
They were run out of Dallas. They were run out.
Yep. So. Kansas City managed to score them because
they were desperate and needed a place to stay.
Yeah, the indigenous history is really good on
stuff like that, isn't it? And then when they
went from municipal to Arrowhead, they stayed
within the same freaking county. I know. And
now he's trying to say that, well, this move
to Kansas is just the same. It's no different.
Fuck you, it's different. No, it's different.
Yeah. Listen. I would have a lot more respect
for the whole situation. And look, the Chiefs
got to do what they got to do. I don't damn them.
Missouri's the one that fucked up, not them.
Missouri did. Yeah, my main objection is they're
lying to us. And they're schmoozing us. They're
manipulating us. And they're handling us. It's
like, fuck you, tell us the truth. And it's going
down just like we said, too. They're going to
use your children or whatever they can, safety,
food safety, all of this. And everything they
do, the prices are going to go up. And up. And
up. And everyone will say, well, we're getting
a new stadium. Well, we're getting new this and
new that. Yeah. Okay. Yep. Yep. But wait a minute.
Wasn't that Star Bonds? Doesn't matter. Yep.
Doesn't matter. Yep. Yeah. So. That's like how
the lottery was supposed to make our schools
the best in the land. And they're shibbles. Penny
has went towards the schools. No. Yeah. Yeah.
The schools are worse than ever and they're getting
even more. Yeah. Worse. Yeah. Man. So, but the
problem, the biggest problem is, is the American
public are rubes. They let people force feed
them, whatever the narrative is. Yeah, the fear
of missing out is enormous among Americans. You
just, all you have to do is hint that somebody
else is experiencing something fun that they're
not, and they will open their wallets and say,
take it. Just give me what they're having. Yeah.
Yeah. Okay. Let's talk about what's going to
happen to the old stadium. It's going to sit
there because they're not going to be able to
afford to fucking smash it down. Yeah, yeah.
Number one, you are never going to get a client
in there that can pay for it. I mean, the Chiefs
were barely making that stadium pay for itself.
Yeah, barely. They're never getting anybody in
that's going to make money the way the Chiefs
did. That Arrowhead Stadium is going to be a
money pit. And there's already a legislator talking
about trying to force the Chiefs to pay for the
demolition of their own stadium. Yeah. It's just
political grandstanding. That's not going to
happen. Remember when Trump said he was going
to make Mexico build the wall? It's the same
bullshit. Yep, same bullshit. Just dressed up
in a different form. But yeah, I think Arrowhead's
going to sit there vacant for about three, four
years. And then they're finally going to tear
it down when it's an ugly eyesore and everybody's
sick of it. I think you're right. The only thing
that could save them from that is if they decide
to sell off pieces of it. Like the day the Chiefs
move out, they'll go and take all the seats out
and they'll sell them on the internet. Me, buying
the Defending Chiefs Arrowhead Stadium seat.
They'll sell all sorts of stuff. And then the
rest, they're just going to let it sit and rot
until it's ugly and everyone's tired of it. And
then they'll unceremoniously tear it down. Yep.
It's just going to be an ugly, sad ending to
what was the source of great fun and pride for
so many years. It's sad, but things get thrown
away. Things not only get thrown away, they get
destroyed and thrown away. It's going to be interesting
to see how long that stadium sits there. Because
you're not going to get minor leagues there like
Hy -Vee Stadium or whatever it is, Old Kemper.
People are able to use that. And it's doing very
well as a mixed -use kind of minor league. Not
even minor league, but like Bush League, high
school, soccer fields inside there, a lot of
them. And I think there's other things too, but
they do okay like that. I don't think they make
a whole lot of money. But it's an older facility.
It's already all paid off. Yeah, it's already
paid off. It's perfect for that. But Arrowhead's
different. You're not going to have anyone moving
in there to make any type of money at all. There's
just too much. So it's going to have to be destroyed,
probably. So, well, I mean... But this also gives
a deadline for the Royals. Now they've got a
concrete date. Hey, the Chiefs are leaving in
2031. That's going to be the date for the Royals
too. They don't want to be there. They don't
want to be there without the Chiefs. I don't
think the Royals plan to be there for one day
past the Chiefs moving in. I actually think the
Royals are going to move before they are. I do
too. I think the Royals are going to move pronto.
Yeah. Look, John Sherman knows when he bought
the team, he had a direction he was going to
take it. And this is what he's doing. So if you
love it or hate it, it doesn't matter. He bought
the team. It's his team, and he gets to do what
he sees fit for it. And also, another thing that's
going on is the same thing that went on with
the Chiefs. And also, I thank John Sherman for
buying them and keeping them here. There's a
lot to be said for that. And trying to have a
competitive team, even in the bullshit marketplace
of baseball. Yeah, he does seem to be making
a strong effort. Yeah, he does. So, anyhow, all
right. Do you want to keep going with that, or
do you want to move on? Let's talk about the
game Sunday. Okay, well. This won't take long.
No, not long. I guess there wasn't much happening.
We're probably going to lose to the Raiders,
too. Definitely lose to the Broncos. Yeah, yeah.
Which doesn't bother me. No, it doesn't. Look,
the season's trashed. Anyhow, why not have a
good draft pick? Why not have a better one? We
haven't got the pick this far down in probably
20 years. Since Mahomes. Yeah. Actually, before
that, Alex Smith. Oh, that's true. Yeah. I mean,
the first year he took over, we started becoming
a winning team. That's right. They traded up
for Mahomes. Yeah, they did. Yeah, they traded
for Alex Smith from San Francisco. Got him. He
did very well. But he wasn't the guy to take
you all the way, obviously. He doesn't have the
arm. He has the smarts and everything. So they
found Mahomes, and he taught Mahomes. And that's
another reason I want Smith to come over and
tutor him again, if possible. The game is pathetic
because, I mean, how many offensive linemen are
we missing? Four? Four. Okay. That's four starters.
Hole has a lot to learn. Yeah. He's doing okay.
Yeah. He really is. Yeah, he is. He's doing pretty
good, but he's there virtually by himself, really.
And as inexperienced as he is, he's so easy to
take advantage of. Yes. So he's going to get
better. He's not getting any help from Suamata
Ia, who's next to him. No. No. No. I thought
that Suamanta was getting better, but now I don't
know. But then again, it could be just one of
the things that if you have Javon Taylor in there,
love him or hate him, and a couple other key
ingredients on the edges and all that, that maybe
he might be able to play better because he doesn't
have to worry about such a burden of taking care
of everything. Yeah. It really came to the fore
on Sunday that. The Chiefs can handle having
one starter down, maybe two. But after that,
they just crumbled. There's not enough team cohesive
or magic or anything left. The defense was doing
okay, but the offense was so decimated, they
couldn't figure out what the heck they were doing.
No. It was ugly and painful to watch. No, and
then Gardner Mitchell going out. Yeah. What,
how many plays deep? It was like first. First
quarter, maybe? Something like that. He went
out, but he does not have a torn ACL. Yeah, they
reported that first. But he's not coming back
this year. No, no. And he's probably not coming
back to the Chiefs. I wouldn't think so. Did
they sign him to two years or one? They usually
do one year on the backup. He's gone. They're
going to find somebody else. Yeah, they signed
Shane Buchel from the Bills practice squad, which
they had a couple years back in training camp.
Yeah. Thanks to Bichelle for giving him bad information
so we can beat him. Yeah. No, I don't know. Bichelle,
he's had flashes of excitement, but he's got
a long ways to go. Who knows? He may be a lot
better now. We'll see. We'll see. Being under
Allen and Mahomes, maybe he'll be better. Yeah.
So we'll see what happens. So the rest of the
season's trash. So, okay, the next year coming
up, number one need. And this is also on bullet
points, but we'll skip it. Offensive line. Offensive
line. Number two need? Running back. Number three
need? Depth. That's what I do anyway. Okay, the
first two, and I'm with you 100%. Before you
even said it, that's what I was wanting. Offensive
line. Best one you can get. You can trade one
of your guys and do something with them. Or move
them to a different position. Move them to a
different position, but get the best guy you
can for that. The most talent, biggest, fastest,
whatever. Whatever you're looking for, get him.
And do whatever it takes to maneuver after that.
Then number two, a premier running back. I don't
want to see another one of these. I mean, Hunt
was like actually the only in the last, I don't
know, eight years. that we really thought anything
of out of the draft pick. They were high on Pacheco,
but I never was. I mean, I like the guy as a
person, great guy, but, I mean, really, he just
doesn't. As a week -in and week -out starter
and talent, no, I never saw it. And I never thought
he was like that anyhow. I thought he was good,
but he's not a guy that you can put the burden
on. Yeah, I figured he'd be somebody we'd see
like five times a game. Not the starter. Yeah,
that's the thing that got me too is I think that
Hunt should probably be the starter. Pacheco
should be the second. And, look, I know they're
both starters per se, but I think you start the
game out with Hunt. And then Pacheco, you don't
resign him, of course, let him go, whatever you've
got to do. You get that premier running back
or who you think is. I mean, look at all the
running backs that have been taken in that time.
They've been amazing. When was Jamar Gibbs taken?
Was he first round? They usually don't take running
backs third and first round. Running backs tend
to go third round and later. We need that guy.
We need that guy that you can constantly give
the rock to and not worry about it. Yeah, he's
not an iffy question mark week to week like Edwards
Allaire. Yeah, boot him out now. He's dead weight.
Absolutely dead weight. And this Mitchell guy
that they traded for who barely saw the field.
Aliyah Mitchell. Yeah, dump him. He's apparently
not doing anything. They actually signed him
to a decent contract too. And then he's played
maybe two plays. Yeah. Looked lost. Either they're
lying to us and there's something wrong with
him or he's just no good. Either way, dump him.
What was his injury? Was it an injury? His leg.
A leg, okay. Well, it very well could be he's
still recovering. Yeah. And they didn't necessarily
sign him for this year. They signed him for next
year maybe. That could be. It could be. But Eliah
Mitchell's not your answer either. No. Do you
keep Hunt? Yeah, I'll keep Hunt. Yeah, I keep
him for goal line. You really don't overwork
him. Even though if you look at his body of work,
he hasn't been overworked. No. The most he's
been working was his rookie and second season
here in Kansas City. Yeah, yeah. When he got
to Cleveland, it wasn't Nick Chubb already there
ahead of him. He was, and he got a majority of
the snaps. Yeah. And, I mean, of course, you
know, Nick Chubb is fantastic. Yeah. But Hunt
was just a notch below him. When he was at Kansas
City, he was not that far below him. No, I don't
think so. And I don't think they're giving him
a fair run. He's the type of guy, I've always
said this, and so have you, you feed him the
ball more, the stronger he gets, and the weaker
the line gets on the other side, the opposing
side. Yeah, the announcers in the game, they've
been calling him, he's a downhill runner. You
need to keep giving him the ball, and by third
quarter. It's like he's running down a steep
hill. No one can stop him. They're just so tired
of getting hit by this guy. I've never understood.
We've been misusing him worse than Cleveland.
I can remember a few decades ago the Chiefs were
able to commit to a running game. They just can't
anymore. They just don't want to. No, I know.
Well, I do believe that it is probably all Andy
Reid. And I go back to this. This is a few years
ago when this came out, but they believe, I think
it was like anything, any pass that's like five
or seven yards, somewhere in there, they consider
a run. So they think they run all the time. No.
No, they don't. But if that's their philosophy
and they really mean that, then that's the problem.
They need to redefine run and find out they don't
do it that much. It just seems weird to think
of it as a run. You can say it's a replacement
for the yardage you would have gotten. I think
that that was a blow -off question. Yeah. It
was like, oh, you're going to ask that? Okay.
Yeah, that type of thing. All right. Do you want
to go into something else? I really don't know
what else. Okay. The Jags. Are they for real?
Trevor Lawrence is playing about as well as I've
ever seen him play. And he seems to be, I mean,
he's like Brock Purdy. He's just gelling at the
right time. It's crazy. Brock Purdy, I'll tell
you what, I'm kind of changing my prediction
on NFC. I think San Francisco might be the team
to beat now. They're looking like it, yeah. Brock
Purdy is throwing insane, and he's got fire.
My God, he's out there dancing and pointing and
yelling at people. He's starting to get, this
kid is fun to fucking watch. Yeah. Yeah, it's
going to be interesting this season. We have
no rooting interest in the playoffs. So we can
watch, we can root for whoever we want to. Between
him and Josh Allen, I'm not sure who I would
go for. At this stage in their career, I'd go
Brock Purdy. Yeah, me too. I think, okay, here's
another thing too. Nobody's really talking about,
but if Allen fails this time, I look for that
whole thing to collapse. Yeah. Because this is
their only shot so far. of getting by Kansas
City. Yeah, yeah. Think of how this is setting
up for them. The Chiefs are out. The Ravens are
out. The Bengals are out. They changed the rules
twice that the Bills wanted to make sure the
Bills would have a better chance in the playoffs.
Playoffs, playoffs, yeah. So when you get the
rules changed in your favor twice and you still
can't make it, there's a problem. Yeah. There
is a problem. Oh, by the way, I heard, I think
it was Joe Buck or Troy Aikman on Monday Night
Football do the playoffs. He's listening to our
podcast. Hey, all right. That's awesome. Joe,
Troy, both of you, say hi. Give us an Iggy. Come
on. Call someone a douche so we know. Say hi
to DeCaylin Zacharias Metcalf for us. They don't
want to hit in the face. They don't want to get
throttled. Well, I don't know. Actually, Joe
Buck's not a small guy, too. I think he's like
6 '2". Yeah, he's not small. No, no, he looks
small next to Troy Aikman is the problem. But,
you know, if DeCaylin Zacharias Metcalf wanted
to punch me for something I said, I'd just go
hire a lawyer and take everything he got. Oh,
yeah. I'd take his house. I'd take his car. Make
sure you have regular headaches and dizziness
constantly. You're in hell. You can't live your
life. It's horrible. And I would have PTSD from
it. Every time you see a large football player
looking guy, you cower in the corner and cry.
Right? Yep. Fair? Yeah. Me too. I cower in the
corner watching Topher cower in the corner, so
it affects me too. I have a feeling that moment
of stupidity is going to cost him for years to
come. And I'm all for it because that's something
you cannot, you have to make an example of that.
You have to. That's something that they're going
to have to clamp down and it's going to hurt
them too. It's going to hurt them a lot because
they're going to have to take them away at a
crucial time. But, I mean, you can't let something
like this go on. You cannot let players go after
the stands. Yeah, yeah. There was a basketball
game a few years back where they got into the
stands and started punching fans. DK Metcalf
went after a fan is what happened. Yeah, that's
what we're talking about. In case someone doesn't
know and is not clued in, he went into the stands
after them, and that's what we're talking about.
Yeah, I saw the video from the stands, and there
was the guy in the blue hair that was yelling
stuff. And Metcalf kept looking over and looking
over, and finally he just walked over slowly,
and the guy in the blue hair leaned over, and
Metcalf grabbed him, yanked him by his wig, and
then threw a punch at him while he had his head
down close. It was egregious. I mean, it just
wasn't a warning like, I'm going to find you
or nothing like that. It was actual physical
violence. And it's not like the fan ran onto
the field. Metcalf walked over, and he intentionally
walked over. escalated the situation he chose
to. You know how many times I flipped off Ricky
Henderson in left field? How many times I called
him names, threatened to box him, told him I
was going to find him and punch him in the nose.
And he did flip me off a couple of times, very
cleverly, but he never came after me. I've been
heckled from the audience and called names and
told that was a shitty drummer. Yeah, so you
deal with it. Hand them the sticks. Yeah. Anyone
that does that, hand them the sticks. Go, here
you go. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. Okay, then. Shut
up or get the fuck out of here. Yeah. Yeah, so.
Well, the word is that what's set. Metcalf off
was the fan used his full given name. What was
that name again? I missed it. DeCaylin Zacarius
Metcalf. Was that DeCaylin Zacarius Metcalf?
I think it was. DeCaylin Zacarius Metcalf. I'm
not sure if I got this. DeCaylin? DeCaylin? DeCaylin?
Zacarius? Zacarius? Metcalf. Metcalf. It apparently
just drives him crazy for people to call him
DeCaylin Zacarius instead of DK. And that's why
he took a swing at the guy. I think I would go
by TDK also. Even though it's the abbreviations
for dick. Let's see. You're a very wealthy football
player. You're a person with civil rights over
the age of 21. Yeah, you can legally change your
name if you don't like it. Yeah, yeah. There
we go. Instead of punching people who use your
name, change your frickin' name if you don't
like it. Yeah, and if someone used to go, that's
not my name, idiot. That's who I used to be.
Yes. Yep. So we're going to call him DeCaylin
Zacharias Metcalf as often as possible. What
was that again? DeCaylin Zacharias Metcalf. Was
that DeCaylin Zacharias Metcalf? Yeah, something
like that, yeah. We're hoping he comes over and
punches us. Yeah, I'm lying. We're at the City
Market, Kansas City. It's $4 .50. 450 Walnut
Street. No, 5th Street. 450 5th Street. We're
in the northwest corner in front of the City
Market Coffee. Very best coffee house in the
world. Yes, excellent coffee. So, yeah, if Mr.
DeKalen Zacharias Metcalf wants to take off his
Steelers jersey and come over here and punch
us out for calling him DeKalen Zacharias Metcalf,
then I guess it'll happen. And I won't even box
you back. I'll let you beat the shit out of me.
Go ahead, do it, man. While he's punching you,
I'll video him. While he's punching me, you video
him. Hell, yeah. Then we'll hire the same lawyer,
and we'll just clean him out. Come on, DeKalen
Zacharias Metcalf. Come on. We're ready for it.
Oh, we're going with the Jags. Yes, okay. All
right. They are the opposite Chiefs, in my opinion.
Now, hear me out. The Chiefs have not made the
critical plays when it counted this year. They
are making all the critical plays when it counts,
including Trevor Lawrence. But listen to these
stats. Listen to these stats. Okay. Okay. Trevor
Lawrence is an 89 .9 passer rate. That's pretty
pedestrian. Yes. He's making the plays when it
counts. 3 ,489 yards with two games to go. Pedestrian.
Pedestrian. That's not anything overly. It's
respectable. That's probably about Alex Smith
numbers, something like that maybe. Okay. So
that's nothing special. Yeah. Okay. Travis and
Tanae. Etienne. Etienne. Etienne. Etienne. Thank
you. Travis Etienne, Jr., 999 yards. Okay. That's
respectable. He'll probably have 1 ,100 plus.
But getting that in the 17 -game season isn't
all that tough anymore. No, it's okay. I mean,
okay, so that's nothing, anything special. Yeah.
Now, Parker Washington is their leading receiver.
Now, remember, Travis Kelsey has 700 yards, a
little bit over 700 yards. Yeah. 645 yards. Wow.
That's their leading receiver. And they're getting
it done. That's making every play count. Exactly.
That's amazing. Their play calling and their
game management and their ability to play the
game they want have been spot on. Now, if that's
going to happen in the playoffs, I don't know.
But as of right now, this critical play that
they're doing is working to a team because how
do you beat a team like that? They don't do anything
exceptional except win. Yeah, I'd like to see
what their... percentage of penalties is compared
to the Chiefs. Oh, I bet it's a lot lower. I
did not look at it. Yeah, it's kind of out of
the blue, but that's another thing the Chiefs
really need to focus on is the penalties. Oh,
yeah. Because that's just sloppiness, laziness,
no accountability. Think of how many touchdowns
have been taken back because of that. Ten? Yeah,
I can think of ten. 10. But probably more than
that. And then there's also critical ones at
the 40 yard line that took him out of field goal
range too. Several times. Probably 10 or 12 times
too. And the times where it was brought back
for a penalty and then Mahomes did a desperation
throw and it was picked off. Yes. It all comes
back to the stupid penalties. It also shows you
this offense without Mahomes and with Mahomes.
Yeah. Everybody's motherfucking him. He was the
only thing that was working right on there. The
only thing. All right, and here's another one.
Okay, leading sacker. How many sacks do you think
a leading sacker has? He was wanting to have
like 10 to 12, yeah. 5 .5, 5 .5. That means that
really everyone's getting in there. That's what
the expression is, everyone eats. Yes, yeah.
So they don't do anything particularly well except
execute. So if they get one or two or three star
players, they're going to be unstoppable. Yeah.
I think what you're seeing is they don't expect
to go all the way this year, but in the next
couple of years, I think you're going to see
this team become a force. Yeah, I think so too.
And they're playing good football. They're well
coached. They're well taught. They have a lot
of discipline. And like you said, they have that
explosive receiver and that edge rusher that
can get it done. Watch out. They have a little
bit of discipline problem because they're D lineman
Trevon Walker. During a post -game show, he came
right out and said, you know, fuck everyone but
us. Oh, that's right. Fuck everyone but us. Because
he's basically talking about the bandwagon fans
and the people who are deciding that they're
the sexy pick now. And the head coach is kind
of spinning it. He's trying to defuse it by saying,
well, you know, that's a good attitude to have,
and it really has kind of pinned us against the
world and blah, blah, blah. It was an undisciplined
moment. You don't want to ever tell the fans,
fuck you. That's almost as bad as punching them
for calling you DeKalen Zacharias Metcalf. Every
time we say his name, someone ought to take a
hit or take a drink or something. But other than
that, I don't hear anything negative about the
Jags. No. Not a thing. So, okay, they're not
quite there yet. No. But they are going to be,
of course, in the next few years. And they're
definitely headed in the right direction. With
a purpose. The Chiefs look like they're floundering.
They look like a little kid who's drowning in
his blow -up swimming pool. I think if we get
a couple of key elements, we're back on track.
We're not as far off as it seems. And we've been
saying this for a long time now. It's not as
bad as it seems. It's an overcorrection, like
a market correction. Like when something happens
overseas and our markets... dip 2 ,000 points.
Next day they come back 2 ,500 up. We should
watch for the Chiefs not addressing it correctly.
And if we have another down year and then another,
then it's so tough to recover from that. Because
people just aren't leaving. They just don't want
your brand anymore. They have got to. Gotta be
a fast turnaround. Otherwise everything just
goes dead in the water. They need to be back
in the playoffs and doing very well next year.
So crucial. All right, how about this? Best team
in the NFC, Seahawks with Darnold at the helm?
Nah. Frisco with Birdie who's ascending? I think
so. I think so too. Yeah, I'm liking San Francisco
definitely over the Rams. Yeah. Definitely over
the Eagles. I don't know who's going to come
out of the NFC South. Maybe Atlanta? You know,
that's a good question. I don't pay any attention
to that division. Because the Bucs are like Carolina.
Carolina's doing okay. I think they're leading
the division. They may be. Let me take a look.
Yeah, I think the Panthers have been doing a
lot better. But, yeah, the Bucs are like close
to 500. Yeah, the Bucs have been floundering.
Baker Mayfield, as good as he looked early in
the season, as bad as he looks now. And I've
got to say, I was wrong about him. I thought
that he was going to be a hell of a force to
be reckoned with. He sure looked like it, but
wow, something just went away. I guess Cleveland
did know what they were doing, even though anything
else they don't. Well, Shudor's doing pretty
good. Yeah, yeah. Anyhow, I'm sorry. The Saints
are not doing all that well, but they've got
a good quarterback. Tyler Shushuff. Yeah, the
new, yeah, yeah. Shou, however you pronounce.
Shou, maybe? O -U -G -H. Is it pronounced like
cop? Shaw. Shaw, I bet. Shaw, I think. Yeah,
most of the O -G -H's are off. He's starting
to look pretty good. He may win Rookie of the
Year. Yeah, and I think right now he's definitely
in the conversation. I don't know if he'll win
it because this is like a Josh Allen kiss fest.
Yeah, but Rookie of the Year, it's going to have
to be a rookie. That's right, I'm sorry. I was
thinking of MVP. Yeah. But, yeah, he might get
rookie of the year. I'm trying to think of who
else is having a great season. But, you know
what, it doesn't matter. I can't really. Okay.
So, all right. The Rams look great at times.
Matthew Stafford is on fire statistically and
also just playing -wise. Although he did not
have particularly a good game against Seattle.
No. Is that what's going to happen in the playoffs?
I believe so. Kind of the way that game ended.
with Seattle needing the two -point conversion
or the Rams win in overtime. So it was either
make the conversion and they win or don't make
it and they lose. And they threw a backward pass
that was swatted down, and everybody thought
that was an incomplete pass play over. Yeah,
yes. And a Seahawks player just happened to walk
over to where the ball was in the end zone and
pick it up because he was going to hand it to
the official. And the official threw his arms
up and said, two point, good, game's over. And
nobody knew what was going on. I knew that rule.
I did too. These guys are millionaires playing
that game and they didn't know the rule. Nothing
was going on. I know. It was just immediately
I said, no, that's a live ball. That is a live
ball. The Seahawk that picked it up didn't know.
No. He just like was going to hand it and go,
oh, I guess we lost. I was like, nope, fake again.
Yeah. And there was for like about an hour, there
was a vocal. contingent of Rams fans saying that
the game should be a do -over because nobody
knew the rules. No, no, no, no. What bullshit
is that? No, no, no, no. You get what you get,
LA. You get what you get. Do -over. Oh, my God.
That's California thinking. Yes. That's participation
trophy thinking. I just got ran over by a truck.
Hang on. I want a do -over. Sorry, we're still
putting you in the ground. Yeah. Sorry. Yeah,
you know what? I mean, yep. Rock 30 definitely
seems like he's peaking at the right time, doesn't
he? Yes, he does. I've got something for you,
though, and this is completely different, but
think like this. History repeats itself. Yeah.
I told my big boss this because he's a Rams fan.
He grew up or lived in St. Louis enough to where
when they were the Rams. Yeah. So he's a Rams
fan, and he's true. They moved. He's still a
Rams fan, okay? Yeah. I told him the Rams are
going to make it this year to the Super Bowl,
and here's why. Huh? Okay, 2019, no 2018 to 2019,
the famous Dee Ford finger over the line. Yeah.
We should have played the Rams in the Super Bowl,
but instead that interception didn't count because
of Dee Ford. The Rams made it, we didn't. Wow.
Three years ago, Cincinnati beat us. And they
played Cincinnati, and they won. So this is two
times, not in a row, but two times they have
the Rams there, and the Chiefs know where to
be found for a Super Bowl. Yeah. So this would,
yeah, that would definitely make a big difference.
But this is also football. Yeah. But it's just
something to think about. Yeah, that's interesting.
It's like every time the Chiefs are absent, the
Rams get into the Super Bowl. Yes. So I think
there is something about. What do you call it?
There's such like a natural order about patterns
and how things happen. And history repeats itself
a lot under the same patterns. Things balance
themselves out in ways we don't even know. Yeah.
So you see something weird happening that's probably
just nature balancing itself, but we can't see
it. Yeah. So I'm wondering if the Rams aren't
going to get in there just because of that. And
if they do... then I'm going to go, yeah, they're
subject to it. If they don't, then I'm like,
that's just me thinking too much. You know, your
brain gets bored. That would be interesting to
see the Rams get in and beat Buffalo badly. I
think Buffalo would go into rebuilding mode,
fire their coach. Well, they don't have that
much of a defense. They've proven it. Matthew
Stafford will pick them apart. So, all right.
Theoretically, you know, this is football. All
right. Packers and Jordan Love look great, but
then they blow an easy victory. Yeah. What do
you make of that? Fluke for real. It's tough
to say it's a fluke because, you know, it smells
like lack of concentration and taking your eye
off. The games they've lost, they've been doing
it all year. Yeah. That Lafleur, as good as he
is, I don't think he's a fine tuner. I think
he's got the broad strokes down perfectly. Looks
great. Looks great on paper. Plays great on paper.
But when it comes down to those finishing touches
you're going to need in the playoffs, I don't
think it's there. If you need that package delivered
to that specific address, it doesn't matter if
it's within a block or two houses down. It's
like, well, it got you real close. It's not good
enough. You've got to go exactly where you need
to go. And if he's not able to get his team right
where they need to go, close enough isn't good
enough. Not when there's millions of dollars
on the line. I agree. We do see the Bills, Jags,
and Chargers getting into the playoffs now since
the Colts lost. Apparently the Colts still have
a very, very, very, very slim chance. They'll
be 10 -7 if they make it in, but everyone else
has got to lose. The Lions are in a bad position,
too, because Green Bay has to lose twice their
final two games. And they have to win their final
two games. That's probably not going to happen.
Probably not. It looks like Josh Allen is expected
to play versus the Eagles. Oh, yeah. He hurt
his foot right before halftime. Yeah. But he
stayed in the game. Yeah. And they're saying
now that it looks like it's not anything that's
going to keep him out. He's been a little beat
up all year. We'll see what happens. He has been.
He's had a reputation for flopping, pretending
he was hit. Yeah. He's really getting hit this
year. He's really getting hit this year. He's
really getting hit. Well, and he also kind of
backed off on the flopping because it's been
such a meme and everyone's joking around about
it. Hey, what am I doing? Oh, you're doing the
Josh Allen. Yeah, that's going to hurt his endorsements.
And I imagine the officials have probably talked
to him and said, you know what, the more often
you flop, the less likely we are to call roughing
against you because you're pissing us off. I'll
tell you what's going to hurt his endorsements
is that fucking pistachio commercial. Oh, God.
That is probably the worst thing ever. Yeah.
You can really wreck yourself by choosing the
wrong ad. You really can. It is flat fucking
creepy. It's not Gigglyworth. It's not he, he,
nothing. It's creepy. Yeah, there was an ad.
Remember John Cena was doing ads with a big giant
purple cow for some. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. What
was that? Yeah. And there was some. There was
one of those commercials where it was him and
the cow at home in the darkened room with a romantic
fire going, and John Cena was professing his
love for the cow. I know. It was bestiality.
He wanted to fuck the cow. It was creepy as hell.
It was creepy as hell. Another one's Buffalo
Wild Wings. Yes. Yeah. The chick wanted to date
him. Yeah, the chick wanted to have his babies.
Yes, I'm like going, ugh. The things we're being
conditioned to accept, it's just stunning. Well,
I mean, that's what the pedophiles have been
doing for years now. They're trying to make it
normalized so they can do their perversion. Yep.
All right, so. This is a fun thing to hear. Travis
Kelsey promises he's going to play really hard
for the rest of the season. Gee, too bad he didn't
say it. So he hasn't been? Yeah, apparently he
hasn't been. Too bad he didn't make that decision
before the first game of the season. But what
a bullshit move. What a stupid thing to say is
say, oh, yeah, well, now I'm going to pay real
hard and make it count. Well, that tells me you've
been slacking up until this point. So bye, Travis.
It's time for you to retire. Yeah, it's time
for him to go. I am so done with Travis Kelsey.
So am I. So am I. Yeah, that's bullshit because
that would imply that he has not been trying
that hard. Yep, yep. Isn't that supposed to be
every down of every game? You're supposed to
try your best and do your best and go all out?
Yep. He'll wait until the season is dead. Oh,
now I'm going to try. Yeah. Yeah, that's bullshit.
Did you see the hit that Lamar Jackson got? Yes.
He took a knee to the middle of the back. He's
day -to -day with that. But the thing that struck
me mostly is Lamar Jackson is pissed. And he's
mostly pissed that a knee to the back knocked
him out of the game. He's pissed that he's in
that kind of shape. And part of it is physical
conditioning. More of it, I think, is age and
the hits he's taken. But he's just really angry
that something like that can take him out of
the game. Josh, Alvin doesn't run like that anymore.
Mahomes doesn't run like that anymore. None of
the running quarterbacks run like that anymore,
and that's because of what happens to Lamar Jackson
every other season. Yeah, I think John Harbaugh
ought to set Lamar Jackson down and say – He's
on the hot seat too. Yeah, I imagine so. Tell
Lamar Jackson that if you need to run to save
your life, go ahead and run. But other than that,
take a knee and take the sack and live to play
another down. The sad thing is, is he has the
arm. He does. He has the arm. And the intelligence.
And the intelligence. Yeah. So he needs to go
with that. He needs to trust himself a little
bit more if that's what it is. Yeah. I mean,
he's got Likely and some other really good receivers
as well. He has Travis Henry. You know. This
is weird. I'm looking at my papers. It looks
like they're slightly out of order. Uh -oh. Mine
was too. I got mine figured out, though. I've
got some bullet points, but you can go ahead
with whatever you want to. Let's see. I have
a list of teams that are out of the playoffs
and how likely their head coaches are to get
fired. Oh, love that. Yeah, so it's the alphabetical.
We'll start with the Cardinals. Okay. Jonathan
Gannon, the head coach in Phoenix, he's probably
going to survive. He's got the support of the
owner. Okay. uh kyler murray they're probably
going to move on from i would think so boy a
guy that's supposed to be like in the homes like
guy yeah yeah yeah uh next up the falcons uh
raheem morris his contract is good through 2028.
uh general general manager fontenot his contract
is good through next year the owners expected
to make at least one of them leave Probably going
to be the GM. I think both of them are going
to leave. Might be, but the fact that Morris
has a longer contract, they might decide to keep
him. That could be. They might cheap out and
just keep him. But usually a new GM comes in.
He wants his own coach. He wants his own person,
yeah. We'll watch there. Unless it happens the
other way and the head coach goes. Yeah. So.
Next up we have the Bengals. Zach Taylor still
has two years left on his contract. Because of
that, they're going to. You said this on the
way down here, and I agree with it after you
said it, is they're notoriously cheap over in
Cincinnati. Yeah. I mean, look at how long Marvin
Lewis lasted. Yeah. Who was before that? I mean,
they just don't get rid of their people because
they're paying them. Yeah, yeah. That's something
I didn't know for the longest time is when a
coach gets fired, he still gets paid for the
rest of his contract unless he takes another
coaching job. Yeah. That's why you see coaches
sit out a year or two. Yeah, they're like, I'll
just take money from them. Go to the Bahamas.
Yeah. And the Bengals have been historically
very tight -fisted, and they don't want to pay
a coach to sit around for two years. Only because
of that, I think Zach Taylor's around. Only because
of that. Now, the defensive coordinator, Al Golden,
he's probably gone. He's gone. Yeah. Definitely.
The way their defense has let him down so bad
this year, he's gone. Even though they don't
really have that much talent. I mean, they just
have Hendricks. Hendrickson. Hendrickson, yeah.
Yeah, Hendrickson. He signed a big contract and
got hurt. I know. Damn. Yeah, that's another
strike against him. You know what? You can't
help stuff like that, though. And also, he kind
of did a Chris Jones where he held them over
the fire. Yeah. And he's got like a, you know,
you're going to have to do this or I'm going
to sit out. And they're like, oh, shit. At that
time, they thought they still had a chance. Yeah.
It was the beginning of the season. If you knew
Joe Burrow was going to – Did he get hurt this
year? Yeah, he got the toe this year. He was
out for like five games. Yeah, they probably
would not have bothered to sign him. Yeah, they
would have traded him. Or would have signed and
traded things. Yeah. Where they contact another
team and say, what kind of contract do you want
us to sign him to that you will take over when
we trade it to you? Yeah. Cleveland Browns. Stefanski
is 6 -25 over the last two years, which is pretty
shitty. But he has one coach of the year twice.
And his chief strategy officer, Paul DePodesta,
has left to go work for the Colorado Rockets.
So he might get a pass on this. Plus, Deshaun
Watson is going to be in his final year of his
contract, so they can probably get rid of him.
I think it's going to be a house cleaning after
next year, probably. I can kind of see Stefanski
sticking around. They'll give him another year,
another try. I think so, too. But if he doesn't,
it's like, we'll clean up this mess for you,
but now you've got to show us something. We'll
see what happens. Yeah, I agree. And also, Shador's
in there and doing decent, so we'll see if they're
going to keep and stay with him or if they're
going to bring Deshaun in. Now, for the Kansas
City Chiefs, Pretty much the consensus is Andy
Reid is staying. Yeah, Andy Reid probably from
now until the end of time, he has nothing to
worry about. Yeah, pretty much. Brett Beach is
expected to stay and reboot the roster. This
is going to determine his long -term success
right here. Yeah, this is a make and break for
Brett Beach. He's got to hit all the draft picks
right, and he's got to hit free agency right,
and he can't spend too much money because we're
already way over the cap for next year. And he's
got to let the right people go. Well, I think
Chris Jones is an obvious choice, yes, but there's
some other ones too. require that much money,
but he's not doing anything, so you might as
well get him off the roster. Yeah. If Chris Jones
was playing lights out, Omena Hugh would look
better. Yes. But you can't really afford to have
a guy like that. He's a couple bettery guy. He's
not the main guy. You keep Karloff. Besides that,
you sign him to a big contract, but he didn't
exactly kill you on the contract either. He took
a big contract, a nice one, but he didn't go
crazy on it. So he's a guy that you can build
the deal with. I think that's a round two. Yeah.
McDuffie. He's being overworked and used wrong,
I know. Yeah. But he's going to – when is his
rookie? Is it this year or next year? Should
be next year. Okay. Well, you've got to keep
him then. Yeah. He's not being paid that much.
I've been hearing them talk about trading McDuffie.
That would be – Because he's about the most valuable
player they can trade right now. Yes. I think
that's a great idea, McDuffie. And Chris Jones.
Chris Jones and McDuffie, I think, in trade.
Spagnuolo and company have been really good drafting
these people anyhow. So why not just keep the
course, keep it going. Keep it going. I have
faith in Spagnuolo and his drafting abilities
and all that because I know that he is the primary
influence on defensive drafting. Because ever
since he's come to town, they've been taking
his type of player. We'll see about Nagy. Whether
he gets a head coaching job or an offensive coordinator
job somewhere else. Well, I read something, and
I believe it to be true from the sources that
I looked at. He declined to sign a long -term
contract last year. Yeah. He thinks he's going
to get a head coaching job, too. Yeah, yeah.
He's positioning himself for the right team.
But to me, I mean, just on that alone, I'd be
like, let's move on from that. Yeah. You know,
he wants his own thing. Well, you go beef up
your resume somewhere else. We're going to find
the next big thing. You know where I think would
be a likely landing spot for Matt Nagy? Raiders.
Oh, yeah. He knows the division. Yep. And the
Raiders would love to have all of his knowledge
about the Chiefs. Even though it's going to be
completely different next year. Yeah, yeah. I
could see Matt Nagy being offered the Raiders
head coaching job. That makes sense because we
agree Pete Carroll's out. And he's out of football
now. That's it. No one's going to hire him unless
it's a front office something. He's the definition
of it's passed him by. Yep. Speaking with the
Raiders, that's our next team up. Offensive coordinator
Chip Kelly, gone. Special teams coordinator Tom
McMahon, gone. Geno Smith has 14 interceptions.
Gone. Number six pick Ashton Jante has 700 yards
on 200 carries. That's like a 1 .8 average, isn't
it? It's a little over 3. Oh, is it over 3? Yeah,
because 3 yards would be 600. Okay, and how much
is the volume altogether? 200 rushes, 700 yards.
Oh, 700 yards. So that's 3 .3 yards per rush.
Okay. It technically is enough to almost get
you a first down on three rushes. Well, it is.
If you get three and a half on three rushes,
you've got one yard to spare. So, okay. Now,
also, Max Crosby, who has been a vocal Raiders
supporter and a rah -rah guy to say, I want to
stay, I want to stay, he's lost it now. I know.
He doesn't want to stay. He totally lost his
patience and positive attitude after the Eagles
shut them out. And who's his best friend? or
one of his best friends, Mahomes. They have a
really good relationship. They talk to each other,
and he also talks to Kelsey a lot too. I know
that they're both likable guys and interesting
people to talk to, but it may be a little deeper
than that. I think that he's over there on our
sideline talking to us and seeing the culture
and going, you know, I really like this. This
is a winning atmosphere. It would not surprise
me. I don't know if it's the Chiefs' MO, though,
to go out and buy this expensive pass rusher
or this edge guy. I don't know if that's not
what they do. Yeah, I can't remember a time when
they've gone out and spent the high dollars on
a pass rusher. A little flip -flop between him
and Chris Jones would not hurt my feelings. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. So that's something to look at, although
I don't think it's going to happen. I would love
to see Max Crosby in a Chiefs uniform because
he wants to move on, and they're going to move
him on. They're rebuilding so bad anyhow. Why
have this elite guy on a horrible team that you're
paying him? Just be elite for nothing. Exactly,
yeah. Tom Brady, behind the scenes, they're saying
he wanted Ben Johnson over Pete Carroll, but
the Lions got him. Okay, well, you know what?
Tom Brady, with all his connections and everything,
they're going to find that right guy, and they're
going to get it. They're just like the Chargers
did, and just like Devin did. They're going to
get it. They're going to figure it out. Yeah,
they're saying how Brady is very close to General
Manager John Spitek. Well, he can't be the General
Manager because of his job, but he can be his
ears and eyes, and I think that's what's going
on. And he's expected to take a more active role
next year. He's kind of getting worked out what
he can do as an owner and what he can't do. Yeah,
because he's not giving up his gig on TV. No,
no, that's reliable money. And also, he's getting
better. Yeah. He's getting to where, kind of
like you don't mind hearing it now, it's kind
of like, oh, Tom Brady knows what's going on.
Pete Carroll, for his part, is vocally campaigning
to stay. But the majority of people say no chance.
No. Not a chance in hell. I don't know how you
can justify that. I'm sorry. I like Pete Carroll
as a person. Seems like a dynamite guy. He's
another guy that you want as your neighbor but
not your head coach. Yeah. You know, he'll mow
four swipes on your yard just to be nice. Yes.
But as far as coaching, it went by him. Yeah.
Dolphins. General Manager Chris Greer was gone
in October. Yep. Now, McDaniel is expected to
be back. Yeah, because they say he saved his
job because they're playing better. Yeah. He
just benched Taka Viola, didn't he? Yeah, he
benched Tua in... Who was the guy behind him?
It was a draft pick, wasn't it? Quinn Ewers.
Quinn Ewers. That's a draft pick, right? Yeah.
How high? I didn't look that up. Oh, well, you
know what? Did he do well? I don't think he's
played much. He didn't play much? Yeah. Okay.
There's like a 90 % probability the two is gone
at the end of the season. Yeah. He's not performing.
He's throwing a ton of picks, and he's got way
more concussions than anyone should be forced
to endure. This is a reach, but you know what
I'd love to see him do? What? That. Be a backup
to Jalen Hurts. Bring the old Alabama crew together
again. Oh, funny. Yeah, wouldn't that be something?
It'll be reversed because Tago Viola was the
starter and then Hurts was the guy that came
in when he got injured. It'll be reversed. Or,
you know, have someone like Andy Reid get a hold
of him as a backup, not as a starter. See what
you can do with him. I would love to see Jameis
Winston go to Andy Reid. I would love to see
what he could have done with him. and instill
some of that discipline and have someone like
Alex Smith show him and go, yeah, no, no, no,
no, yeah, yeah, yeah. At least be a hell of a
backup. Yeah. But I would just love to see the
outcome of that, see how good he can make it,
how good he can coach him up. Yeah. But that's
not going to happen. We know that. Next up we've
got the Vikings. O 'Connell has an extended contract,
and the owner seems to be on board with him.
He's staying, I'm almost sure. Yeah, they seem
to be writing this season off to injuries. Even
though J .J. McCarthy has been worthless. But
still, they're going to draft another quarterback.
We know this. And they're expected to re -sign
their defensive coordinator, Brian Flores, too.
Yes. So it looks like not a lot is going to change
in Minnesota. I didn't look for that, and their
defense really isn't the problem anyhow. It's
doing serviceable. Justin Jefferson, since they
think they're not that far off, he's staying.
They're not going to get rid of him. They're
not going to trade him, I don't think. The Jets,
now this one was kind of a surprise to me. Aaron
Glenn seems to have saved his job by firing defensive
coordinator Steve Wilks. That did it? And taking
over his duties. The support for Aaron Glenn
in the front office is very strong. Okay. And
they really think that they got the basics for
a good roster. They're going to do some reboot.
They got a ton of picks for their deadline trades
with Sauce Gardner and Williams. South Gardner,
we almost got him. Oh, we should have. Oh, well,
you know what? It doesn't matter now. This season
was for naught. Yeah, it never would matter.
But the Jets look like they're going to hire
a new defense coordinator, but they're just going
to start building from this point on. We'll see
what happens. They need a new quarterback, too.
Yeah, they do. He's probably a bridge guy if
you think about it. When you get the guy, then
you're going to get rid of him and get the guy
that you think is going to teach the guy. New
Orleans Saints, Kellen Moore has the team improving.
Yeah. He has wins over the Bucs and the Panthers.
And the quarterback situation has gotten significantly
better, too. Yeah, he's got that good rookie
quarterback, Shaw. Yeah. We're going to have
some Shaw until he's done different. So he's
probably going to return. Yeah, I think so. And
I would look for him, too. I would look for him.
I think he deserves another year. Do you think
so or not? I'm sorry? I think he deserves another
year. Yeah, I'd say so. On the last team we have
is the Commanders. Head coach Dan Quinn is expected
to return despite going 12 -5 last year and 4
-10 this year so far. But the owner, Harris,
is a fan. Defense coordinator Joe Witt Jr. has
been relieved of play calling and will not be
back. And big roster changes are expected. But
pretty much they're going to keep their head
coach. And they think their offense is doing
well. probably keep the OC. So, some firings,
some people staying. Okay. Remember we talked
about how dirty the Chargers were playing and
how they were just smashing the Chiefs players?
It has caught up with them. The Chargers, they
won seven of eight and the last four in a row,
so they're doing better, but linebacker Denzel
Perriman... as it's suspended for two games.
Good. Because he's doing repeated violations
of unnecessary roughness. That's Jim Harbaugh,
in my opinion. Yep. That's Grandpa Jim. I don't
like the guy you never have. Yeah, old Grandpa
Jim. Yep. Fucking guy that looks confused all
the time. Mm -hmm. He kept just slamming into
players, and the officials were telling him,
knock it off, we're going to call you. We're
going to call you for these hits. What finally
happened was... Wide receiver Ryan Flournoy was
already down on the ground, and Perryman came
in and just smashed right into his helmet. He
aimed for the guy's head and smashed it against
the hard ground. I saw that hit. It was dirty.
Grandpa Jim Harbaugh runs a really dirty fucking
team. Well, look at Michigan. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Let's talk about Michigan. Oh, yeah. We have
another. problem with the university of michigan
go ahead assistant matt weiss harbaugh's assistant
offense coordinator faces 10 counts of identity
theft computer hacking within the university
of michigan football offices he stole info on
150 000 student athletes used it to hack the
social media email and cloud storage of 3 000
students mostly women and he was looking for
Dirty pictures. Wow. He was looking for naked
women pictures. And then the head coach was nasty
also. This is the University of Michigan rotten
from top to bottom. And they already have the
death penalty because of Grandpa Jim. Yep. And
all the cheating that went on. Grandpa Jim is
now the scumbag of the NFL. Yeah. He's utter,
utter trash. I'm telling you what, if I was the
league, I would be looking at ejection of players
permanently if they don't stop it. Yeah. I mean,
the problem is this right here. I mean, every,
this, here, let me give you an example, and I
know you know this, but this is for everyone
else. The game between what's supposed to be
Mahomes and Knicks coming up this Christmas is
not going to be a game at all. And they can't
flex out of it because it's the Thursday night
game. It's the Thursday night game, and it's
the Christmas game. Yeah. Now, how did that happen?
Probably a lot of dirty hitting. Yep. Okay? So
you have your star quarterback out. The one that
everybody turns their TV on even though they
bitch about him. They still watch him. Half the
people want to see him succeed. The other half
want to see him lose. Yeah, yeah. But if he's
not even out there, how boring is that? No, it's
not going to get any ratings down because he's
out. Yep. So you're going to have some Swifties
probably tuning in. But other than that, I mean,
no. I can see the league office going over and
visiting the Chargers and saying, all right,
you've got to knock this shit off because you're
affecting everybody else's income. And that will
get you censored faster than anything else in
the NFL is when you start screwing up somebody
else's revenue stream. They haven't done it already.
I'm looking for it. It's not something you're
going to read in the papers. It's not something
you're going to see physically. It's something
you're going to see happening, but you've got
to identify it. You've got to watch it and see.
Yeah. And then the last football thing I have
is the Giants and the Raiders are playing. They're
both 2 -13, but somehow the Giants are favored.
How do you even pick? And really, who's going
to bail? Hey, Raiders, do you need a gun? Do
you need a gun? Or are you going to do it the
old -fashioned way with a noose? How are you
going to do it, Raiders? Wow. So that's what
I got for football. Okay, well, I have some...
Bullet points. I love the bullet points. Oh,
yeah, me too. Greatest segment ever, besides
Rob's Bag of Garbage. Oh, yeah. Rob's Bag of
Garbage is the greatest segment ever. That's
pure gold. Yeah, pure gold. This is the second
greatest. It is. All right. Here, let me pat
you on the back real hard. I hurt myself patting
myself on the back. Thank you. Thank you. Oh,
man. That straightened me out a little bit. All
right. Will Chris Jones be on the Chiefs roster
next year? God, I hope not. I hope not either.
I don't see any reason to keep him because there's
so much upside to trading him now before he plays
another year and shows that he's useless. Yes,
I agree. Especially since he kind of flurried
himself pretty good over the last few games.
I think what you're going to see is a renewed
interest with stupid teams. That may be why he's
playing so well recently is he's trying to get
his trade stock up. It could be. And if you like
Chris Jones and think he'd be a great player
for the Chiefs, then... You really should trade
him because other teams are going to think that
too. Exactly. And he's got value now. He will
not have value at the end of next season. No,
no, no. They're going to see that he's declined
so much. I mean, we see it because we're here.
Yeah. Nobody else sees it day in and day out.
Yeah. All right. So my answer simply is, if they
can get something for him, he's gone. Yeah. Because
they need to unload that salary. If they can't,
I think they're going to keep him because they
really don't have an option. Yeah, yeah, they'll
eat his cap hit to keep him rather than just
dump him. They'll figure out to defer something
else or whatever. They'll figure out something
else. All right. What would be the Chiefs' number
one need for the first draft pick me? And we
already went over that, but offensive lineman.
Yeah, preferably a tackle. Yes, yes. I know you've
got young tackles now, but none of them have
really shown that they're going to be that franchise
guy. Well, if you're not doing a complete rebuild,
which they should not be doing, then you're going
to have to do the patchwork stuff, and you're
going to have to draft well, and you can also
do some free agency. But, yeah, tackle would
probably be your biggest need on that level.
I think the interior line is doing good. The
center and the two guards are doing pretty well.
Yeah, everything else is non -existent right
now, some due to injury, some due to salary cap.
You just can't afford them. All right. Report
surfaced, we went into this too, but oh well.
Report surfaced that Matt Nagy declined to sign
an extension last season. That's fine with me.
Is he finally gone? If he gets the right offer,
he's gone. Other than that, I would see him,
if he doesn't get the right offer, he'll sign
a one or two year extension. And they love him,
so I don't see him getting rid of him. They love
him for whatever reason. If you wind up being
the team that doesn't want to let your... staff
members take a better job than no one will want
to sign with you in the first place. I agree.
You get better employees by showing them that
you're not going to stand in their way. I'll
put it like this. McDonald's doesn't get nearly
as good of employees as McDonald Douglas. Yeah.
There you go. So, yeah, along those lines right
there. So, all right. I like that. All right.
When Mahomes comes back from his injury, let
me start off like this. Okay. He's going to be
more serious, like Tom Brady was. You think.
Okay. He's like, man, my career. I'm 30 years
old. I had a major injury. I've got to get this
shit going. And seriously, at this point, he
is one more major injury away from ending his
career. Yes. Because it's going to be really
tough to come back from this one. The next one,
he's not going to be able to come back and be
the same guy he was. No, I agree. All right,
when Mahomes comes back from his injury, is there
going to be a whole new set of rules? I think
so. I think he's going to clamp it down and go,
guys, we need to get this done. We need to get
it done now. Yeah. We need to be the greatest
ever, and we need to do it right now. We can't
do it two years from now, three years from now.
We have to do it now. So I think there's going
to be an iron fist. I think it's going to be
like you perform or you're off this team, no
friendship, none of that stuff. Yeah. Even Kelsey,
if he comes back and he doesn't do it. I think
even that is like, you know, we can't have it.
We're trying to do something here, and you're
in the way. You know, I think since there's now
a six -year clock ticking on the Chiefs moving
to Wyandotte County, they're trying to get themselves
set up in a position that says six years from
now they're a hell of a team. Yes. They want
to go into the new stadium with the idea of let's
get into the Super Bowl. And the Super Bowl coming
in. As soon as the Chiefs get that new dome stadium
built and open, the NFL is going to give them
the Super Bowl here in K -State. Yes. And supposedly
fast track, I don't know if they do that. I don't
know. They reshuffle the deck on deck. Yeah,
they'll find somebody who's already hosted a
few times and take it away. They'll take it away.
All right. Well, this year determined Josh Allen's
legacy in the NFL. Yeah. Yes. This is it for
him. It pretty much is because everything is
working out perfectly from the rest of the league
standpoint to give the Bills a chance to just
sweep through the playoffs and do it. Playoffs.
Playoffs. But they're having so much trouble.
I mean, they've lost at least three games they
shouldn't have lost. Oh, I know. Although they
are playing considerably better, they're still
spotty. Yeah. And Allen is getting beat up. Yeah.
So I'm the same way. If he doesn't do it this
year, I think you're going to, number one, you're
going to see the almost dynasty just start cracking
from within. Yeah. Number two, he's not going
to be looked at seriously anymore. He's a guy
that does it in regular season. He's Dan Marino,
but after that, you know, that's it. I think
probably what would be the worst thing for the
Bills. as an organization and a fan base, would
be for them to get humiliated in their first
playoff game. And that would lead everyone with
just this utter, just horrible taste in their
mouth, and they're ready to do anything to make
it better. If they win a couple of games and
make a good showing, that could go a long way.
But if they stink up their very first game and
get hooted out, Buffalo Bill fan is going to
be pissed and looking for somebody to take the
blame. I agree. And I don't blame them. I don't
blame them. I would be too. As much as they've
worked and spent in Buffalo to get a team that
should dominate and win a championship, they
haven't even made it to the game yet. Oh, I know.
Something's got to give up there. I know. Yep.
I keep looking. I have nothing left of mine.
Oh, okay. I've got all my music stuff here. Do
the Eagles have another playoff push in them?
I do the same thing when I have nothing. I always
look to see if there's anything. Yeah. I think
the Eagles do. Yeah. I don't know if they're
going to make the Super Bowl, but they're going
to have a push in them. They'll win a game or
two, I'm sure. They still need to overcome the
knock on them that their offense is getting really
predictable and pedestrian. It is. They're kind
of looking like the Chiefs, only not as grand
of a level. Yeah, people are catching up with
them. They're figuring them out. And Jalen Hurts
is being figured out rapidly, which is scary.
The only thing I can think is maybe they're doing
an Andy Reid and they're playing possum. I could
see that because I think that the Eagles organization
is probably the next smartest organization next
to the Chiefs in the last five years. Yeah, yeah,
they really seem to be doing everything right.
Them and San Francisco have been like the two
smartest, the smartest run organizations in my
opinion. Yeah, you see Bonehead moves out of
pretty much all the other teams. Yeah, they seem
to be on the line. They definitely have it on
track. And whenever they make a mistake, they
get rid of it really quick. That's another thing,
too. They don't try to hold on and make it better.
This isn't working. Get rid of them. Jaguars
are kind of doing that, too. They are. They're
moving on really quick, which needs to happen.
Yeah. We can only move on from Travis Kelsey.
Yep. Yep. If you would have to bet only one bet,
would Chicago or Seattle be in the Super Bowl?
Chicago. Chicago. I would vote for Chicago. Yeah,
me too. Chicago Williams, Caleb Williams is playing
off the hook. Yeah, definitely. He's making some
throws that are just insane. Also, their running
game is superior. Their defense isn't bad. They're
for real. Yeah. Yeah, it's odd because I'm used
to this point in the season saying, yeah, the
Bears crumbled again. They're nothing. But here
they are. And they're kind of looking as tough
as the Lions did last year, but I think they've
got a better chance than the Lions because they've
got better coaching. I do too. Yeah, the Lions
are probably not going to make it in, and that's
fine with me. I don't like them any. I don't
like Dan Campbell. I think he's a dirty player.
In my opinion, he's a dirty coach. Yeah, at first,
last season I really thought the Lions had something
going, but the more I see and the more I hear,
the more I see this as a quick flame out. It's
a scheme more than actual talent. Yeah, it'll
get figured out in a hurry, and then the Lions
will be dead in the water, and they'll be wondering
what happened. Yeah, they're the Lion that roars,
but then when you roar back, they run away. Yeah.
All right. How good is Caleb Williams? Top five,
I think. Yeah, he's playing that way at this
point, definitely. Hell, the Stroud against the...
The Chiefs looked like he was doing fine. Oh,
I know. He looked amazing. I know. Will Stroud
can do that. He can do that at times. And you
can tell in the second half of that game that
the Texans were having fun. They were enjoying
themselves. They were relaxed, and they were
taking a little more chances. Everything the
Chiefs were not doing. The Chiefs looked like
they were in permanent tense -up, cramped mode.
Yeah. Yeah. You could tell which team was doing
well and which one wasn't. All right, and then
finally, the enemy is really looking good right
now with Chicago. Will he finally become a serious
applicant for a head coaching job? Because I
don't think he was a serious one before. Not
this year. I don't see you going from running
backs coach to head coach. He's got to make that
intermediate. I mean, even though he's been an
offensive coordinator before and he's been an
assistant head coach, I believe, wasn't he, in
Washington or something like that, they had to
give him a little bit different title for him
to move. Yeah, he's got to fill that in. He's
got to work his way back up because he went to
college. It didn't work out. Then he came back
to the NFL, and he took a lesser job. So he's
got to work his way up again. But I think it's
very possible for him to become a serious candidate
just by, after he goes through the rounds, his
body of work. I think that someone might let
it go. But there's something we don't know, too,
I'd like to add. There's something we don't know.
Because for all of these teams to pass on him
and not take him seriously, something's going
on that we don't know of. There was something,
you know, information being passed from team
to team about him that was making a lot of teams
pass. Yes. Yeah, so we don't know that part of
it. Maybe he cusses in front of everybody's children.
I think he does. Yeah. He scratches himself.
He doesn't watch his there. Touches inappropriate
parts of his body. Yeah, yeah. But only his own
body, not anyone else's. He likes to adjust himself
a little too much. Yeah. All this is just jokes.
Yes. We love EB here. Yes, we do. Especially
now. We sure miss him. I remember him rushing
for the Chargers. Yeah, he was very good. Running
back for the Chargers. He came in for Natron
Means. Yeah. He was just a backup. And then they're
just like, let him stay in. Yeah. Let him stay
in. He came out of Colorado, right? He was a
Buffalo? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. So back then,
were they the... the Big 10, Big 12 back then?
They were the Big 12. Yeah, they started out
as the Big 8. Then they went to Big 10, then
they were the Big 12. They were Big 8. They were
Big 8. I think Big 12, they're already gone.
Okay, yeah. I remember there was that one coach
that, you can't do that. This is the Big 12.
Oh, I know. It's like, well, now you're the Big
11 in name only. You're the Big 12 in name only.
Yeah. Yeah, that always cracked me up. And it's
just like all these. ones with numbers behind
them, the numbers aren't the same anymore. They
can't keep changing them. So they're just like,
keep it the Big 12. We worked on this logo. We
paid for this logo. We're going to use it. Yeah,
yeah. And most people don't count anyhow. You're
going past their fingers. They can't do it anymore.
Roman numerals? Oh, fuck that. Oh, no, no. What's
that V for? Vagina? Why is that an X there? You
have vagina? X, you mean like the social media
platform? Oh, okay. I get it. So, all right.
That's it on my bullet points. All right. How
long we got there? Coming up on an hour and a
half. All right. You want to go ahead and end
it and go into the music creeps? Sure. Let's
do that. All righty. Everybody, thank you for
listening. You guys are fantastic. Our numbers
really show it. We appreciate you guys so much.
Go fuck yourself.
