WEBVTT

00:00:00.330 --> 00:00:03.490
Recorded live from the historic River Market

00:00:03.490 --> 00:00:07.009
area in downtown Kansas City proper, near the

00:00:07.009 --> 00:00:09.789
banks of the crystal blue waters of the Missouri

00:00:09.789 --> 00:00:19.489
River, we give you the Sports Bastards. What

00:00:19.489 --> 00:00:21.769
the hell do they call themselves again? What

00:00:21.769 --> 00:00:26.010
was that? Sports Bastards? What a stupid fucking

00:00:26.010 --> 00:00:28.190
name. Who the hell would name their show the

00:00:28.190 --> 00:00:31.399
Sports Bastards? Gosh, man, I can't believe I'm

00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:34.600
here doing this. We're up and running. All right,

00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:38.340
this is the Sports Bastards. I'm Topher. I'm

00:00:38.340 --> 00:00:41.299
Mark. Again, still. Yeah, still. I didn't change.

00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:43.640
I think that one's yours. No, wait. No, no, no,

00:00:43.659 --> 00:00:46.159
this is mine. What'd they put in my coffee then?

00:00:47.100 --> 00:00:50.020
I don't know. It was supposed to be no milk.

00:00:51.140 --> 00:00:55.219
I don't think I want to drink that. Let me put

00:00:55.219 --> 00:00:57.939
this on pause. All right. Now that we've got

00:00:57.939 --> 00:01:00.979
the milk caper figured out and Coper's not having

00:01:00.979 --> 00:01:04.560
to take several breaks, we're all good now. All

00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:10.700
right. There it is. It had oat milk in it. Oh,

00:01:10.700 --> 00:01:12.500
that'll be fine. Is that what you wanted? Or

00:01:12.500 --> 00:01:14.980
did you just want no milk? I ordered no milk,

00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:16.299
but I'll take it with oat milk. That's fine.

00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:18.760
Do you still have it? Yeah, in fact, I can make

00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:20.219
it with no milk. I'll take the one that's there.

00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:21.780
Are you sure? Yeah, she said she put oat milk

00:01:21.780 --> 00:01:23.659
in it. That's fine. That's fine then. Thank you.

00:01:24.769 --> 00:01:27.609
Yeah, I don't want to go to waste. It's still

00:01:27.609 --> 00:01:30.030
good coffee. No, it's good coffee. And also,

00:01:30.109 --> 00:01:33.049
I like oat milk a lot. Oat milk is really good.

00:01:33.969 --> 00:01:37.170
We learned how it is that they get oat milk.

00:01:37.890 --> 00:01:40.109
Have you seen that guy on the Quaker Oats can?

00:01:40.390 --> 00:01:43.689
Yeah. They actually take his shirt off and strap

00:01:43.689 --> 00:01:46.230
a couple of breast pumps to him. Yeah, I heard

00:01:46.230 --> 00:01:48.109
that his nips are getting sore, so he's going

00:01:48.109 --> 00:01:49.829
to have to slow down. Thank you. Thank you much.

00:01:52.390 --> 00:01:54.569
Yeah, I heard his nips are being a little, they're

00:01:54.569 --> 00:01:56.569
a little tender. Yeah. So he's going to have

00:01:56.569 --> 00:01:59.310
to slow down on the oat milk production, so the

00:01:59.310 --> 00:02:01.430
price might go up. Think of how many thousands

00:02:01.430 --> 00:02:03.909
of gallons he has to produce a day. I know, I

00:02:03.909 --> 00:02:05.750
know. Well, he has to eat the right foods, and

00:02:05.750 --> 00:02:08.009
he has to, he doesn't like it because he's a

00:02:08.009 --> 00:02:11.490
Quaker. He has to do a lot of exercise regimen

00:02:11.490 --> 00:02:13.389
that he doesn't like to do because he likes to

00:02:13.389 --> 00:02:15.870
sit around and write with that feather pen. And,

00:02:15.909 --> 00:02:17.449
you know, he's going to have to get breast reconstruction

00:02:17.449 --> 00:02:19.430
surgery because they're just going to be, you

00:02:19.430 --> 00:02:22.150
know, wrung out bags by the time he's done. Oh,

00:02:22.150 --> 00:02:24.090
yeah, yeah. You know, they're already saggy.

00:02:24.090 --> 00:02:27.229
I mean, how old is he? Oh, shit. At least 100

00:02:27.229 --> 00:02:29.349
years, maybe more. Probably a couple hundred,

00:02:29.490 --> 00:02:31.169
maybe. Yeah, something like that. Yeah, so they

00:02:31.169 --> 00:02:32.990
get a little saggy over time, a little wrinkly.

00:02:33.069 --> 00:02:35.669
But he does it so we can have oatmeal. Yes, he

00:02:35.669 --> 00:02:38.740
does. Write him a thank you note if you get a

00:02:38.740 --> 00:02:42.379
chance. Yes. And write it in Pennsylvania Dutch.

00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:45.840
Yes. With that feather ink I'm talking about.

00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:50.879
Yes, yes, yes. All right. Okay, well. Chiefs

00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:54.039
game. Yes. Let's talk about the Chiefs game.

00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:57.879
We kind of was just glossing around that for

00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:00.280
a while with idle bullshit. Let's get to it.

00:03:01.219 --> 00:03:02.879
It's kind of like when you have to finally get

00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:05.039
down to scraping the dog crap off your shoe.

00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:07.819
Yes. That was the Chiefs game. And actually,

00:03:08.020 --> 00:03:13.460
for their backups, basically, they played well.

00:03:13.620 --> 00:03:16.800
They played well. Yeah. Oladokun actually did

00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:19.819
pretty well. Oladokun is really, I mean, he has

00:03:19.819 --> 00:03:22.580
a lot of upside, especially. Yeah. The fumble

00:03:22.580 --> 00:03:26.460
recovery throw for first down? Yep. That was

00:03:26.460 --> 00:03:28.740
Patrick Mahomes -esque. It was. He didn't freak

00:03:28.740 --> 00:03:30.240
out. He just went over there, he grabbed the

00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:33.319
ball, saw the guy, tossed it to him. That's stuff

00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:35.819
you learn from working behind someone like Mahomes.

00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:37.819
Yeah. That's something that you get that nature

00:03:37.819 --> 00:03:43.000
from that, okay, well, I'll just do this. He's

00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:45.219
catching on. You see, when we got Minshew and

00:03:45.219 --> 00:03:47.979
when we got Winston. Wentz and all those guys.

00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:49.900
They've already been formed. Gabbert. They've

00:03:49.900 --> 00:03:51.659
already been formed. They've already played for

00:03:51.659 --> 00:03:54.979
a long time. And there's no really reteaching

00:03:54.979 --> 00:03:59.280
them. This guy's brand new. Yeah, they're saying

00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:02.340
he's been around the Chiefs organization since

00:04:02.340 --> 00:04:05.900
about 2021. Yeah. On the practice squad or else

00:04:05.900 --> 00:04:07.780
just hanging out, just doing stuff. He's like

00:04:07.780 --> 00:04:09.900
been around and absorbing stuff. Yeah, I don't

00:04:09.900 --> 00:04:13.680
mean like he's a rookie. I mean, he is because

00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:15.659
of this. But he's a four -year -older rookie

00:04:15.659 --> 00:04:17.980
than most rookies. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So he's

00:04:17.980 --> 00:04:21.740
kind of a technical rookie, but yeah. I did notice

00:04:21.740 --> 00:04:23.920
during the broadcast that the announcers were

00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:26.879
taking great pains to try to convince us that

00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:29.379
Oladokun and Mahomes are best buds, and they

00:04:29.379 --> 00:04:31.860
go out. Like every time Mahomes and Kelsey go

00:04:31.860 --> 00:04:35.370
out, they call up. and have income too. You didn't

00:04:35.370 --> 00:04:37.230
believe that either? No, no. They were trying

00:04:37.230 --> 00:04:39.149
way too hard to sell it, and they kept going

00:04:39.149 --> 00:04:42.009
on and on. And was I wrong, or was they trying

00:04:42.009 --> 00:04:43.829
to paint a picture like they even look alike?

00:04:44.329 --> 00:04:48.550
Yeah, they kept going up to the booth to show

00:04:48.550 --> 00:04:51.490
Mahomes reacting to something as if they're best

00:04:51.490 --> 00:04:55.310
buds. I know. It was cheesy to me. Really, yeah.

00:04:55.370 --> 00:04:57.050
It was kind of like the Nebraska quarterback

00:04:57.050 --> 00:05:00.430
that everybody keeps saying, oh, he's a Mahomes.

00:05:00.470 --> 00:05:03.310
I know he is. Yeah. He just looks kind of like

00:05:03.310 --> 00:05:10.149
him. That's it. Well, I mean, okay, it's hard

00:05:10.149 --> 00:05:11.949
to get a read on a game like this, but I can

00:05:11.949 --> 00:05:13.550
tell you this right now, how good can Denver

00:05:13.550 --> 00:05:17.949
feel? Getting blown out by Jacksonville and then

00:05:17.949 --> 00:05:20.610
barely beating third stringers, maybe fourth

00:05:20.610 --> 00:05:25.389
stringers. Yeah. I mean, it was tough. We could

00:05:25.389 --> 00:05:28.529
have won that game. It was tough. Denver did

00:05:28.529 --> 00:05:31.670
back into the AFC West Championship when the

00:05:31.670 --> 00:05:33.850
Chargers lost last night. Yeah, when the Chargers

00:05:33.850 --> 00:05:37.629
shit themselves again. Oh, God. They looked good,

00:05:37.629 --> 00:05:40.470
then they looked like shit. And then drive late

00:05:40.470 --> 00:05:42.430
in the game, the officials were doing their part,

00:05:42.470 --> 00:05:45.069
kept calling flags to help keep the drive going.

00:05:45.329 --> 00:05:47.290
To make sure they could score, and then they

00:05:47.290 --> 00:05:51.149
didn't score. I know. What if, buddy? It's like

00:05:51.149 --> 00:05:53.029
the officials did everything they could to make

00:05:53.029 --> 00:05:54.949
sure you could score, and then you blew it. Yeah.

00:05:56.170 --> 00:05:58.769
It's like, nothing to see here, guys. Done. That

00:05:58.769 --> 00:06:00.949
was something I noticed in the game last night

00:06:00.949 --> 00:06:02.850
and started thinking about. I've seen it a lot

00:06:02.850 --> 00:06:07.290
this season. Is the really, really late flag

00:06:07.290 --> 00:06:10.050
for something that happened during the play.

00:06:10.209 --> 00:06:11.990
That pisses me off because that means that they

00:06:11.990 --> 00:06:13.930
talked about it, looked at each other or something.

00:06:14.850 --> 00:06:19.529
What it tells me is it looks exactly like they

00:06:19.529 --> 00:06:21.870
see something happening and they're like, okay,

00:06:21.930 --> 00:06:23.810
let's keep that in the bank and see how this

00:06:23.810 --> 00:06:26.689
play works out. And if we want this team to succeed

00:06:26.689 --> 00:06:29.050
and the play goes wrong, then we'll go ahead

00:06:29.050 --> 00:06:31.350
and throw the flag and call it back. But if the

00:06:31.350 --> 00:06:33.110
team goes ahead and does something awesome, we'll

00:06:33.110 --> 00:06:36.689
forget the penalty ever happened. So it looks

00:06:36.689 --> 00:06:38.889
like they're waiting until the play is over to

00:06:38.889 --> 00:06:41.410
decide whether or not to throw the flag to make

00:06:41.410 --> 00:06:43.350
sure the game turns out the way they want it

00:06:43.350 --> 00:06:46.529
to turn out. I don't see how it's anything but

00:06:46.529 --> 00:06:53.899
that. I don't either. To me, it's like... Penalty

00:06:53.899 --> 00:06:56.160
occurred like one and a half seconds after the

00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:58.920
ball was snapped. And about three seconds after

00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:01.540
the play was over, here comes the flag. There's

00:07:01.540 --> 00:07:04.180
no reason for that. Unless you're fixing games.

00:07:04.420 --> 00:07:07.319
Yeah. No, I agree. No, if you've got to sit there

00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:10.740
and wait on it and wait, then yeah. What it is

00:07:10.740 --> 00:07:12.699
is they don't want to look too transparent, too

00:07:12.699 --> 00:07:14.720
obvious. So they don't want to throw too many

00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:16.720
flags. So if the play doesn't go the narrative

00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:18.720
of the game, they're like, oh, we've got to interrupt

00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:21.240
it. Here, let's sway the game a little bit. Let's

00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:24.160
go ahead and influence the game. And I'm starting

00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:26.879
to remember seeing that in a lot of other games.

00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:30.959
There's like some miracle out of nowhere play

00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:34.779
that bails this team out of a big hole. And then,

00:07:34.779 --> 00:07:38.339
oops, right at the end, here comes a flag. I'm

00:07:38.339 --> 00:07:40.639
sick of that. Uh -huh. Yeah, it's kind of like.

00:07:40.860 --> 00:07:43.879
It's intentional. Yeah, and these, okay. The

00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:46.180
penalties are designed to where it is really

00:07:46.180 --> 00:07:50.160
kind of like it's so loose -based that you can

00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:51.939
really form it into what you want, and you can

00:07:51.939 --> 00:07:55.819
fit any narrative that you want. And it's true.

00:07:55.860 --> 00:07:58.759
If you don't believe me, just watch last week.

00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:01.779
Watch every game. Watch every game that was played

00:08:01.779 --> 00:08:04.220
last week, and then you get back to me and tell

00:08:04.220 --> 00:08:06.480
me if it's not a narrative that they do. It is.

00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:10.300
Keep in mind, every single play of every game

00:08:10.300 --> 00:08:14.139
is watched live. At the league offices with league

00:08:14.139 --> 00:08:18.620
officials and representatives from the referees

00:08:18.620 --> 00:08:22.060
and officials. And they can buzz into any game

00:08:22.060 --> 00:08:24.660
and stop it and say, no, call a flag on that

00:08:24.660 --> 00:08:27.560
or pick up your flag. Or they can change anything.

00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:31.720
Ultimate control from a distance. Yeah, and also,

00:08:31.779 --> 00:08:35.039
I challenge anyone to go look at the rule book

00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:39.379
on holding and pass interference. It's subject.

00:08:40.090 --> 00:08:42.929
Pretty much to the person that's watching. It's

00:08:42.929 --> 00:08:45.809
very much opinion -based. Yes. So that means

00:08:45.809 --> 00:08:47.830
they can call it any time they want or refuse

00:08:47.830 --> 00:08:49.970
to call it any time they want. Yeah, it happens.

00:08:50.389 --> 00:08:53.169
If you're betting on NFL games, then you're an

00:08:53.169 --> 00:08:56.909
idiot. You are a rube. Yeah. You probably think

00:08:56.909 --> 00:09:01.230
the stripper really does like you. Yes. You're

00:09:01.230 --> 00:09:04.039
the one that kept giving them money. And then

00:09:04.039 --> 00:09:06.460
it's like, well, no, she's got to get home. She's

00:09:06.460 --> 00:09:08.759
got to go get her kid in the morning. And she's

00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:11.720
putting herself through law school and all the

00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:13.779
same lies. It's amazing. They're all going through

00:09:13.779 --> 00:09:15.840
law school. Boy, there's a bunch of lawyers here.

00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:18.039
And the check's in the mail, and I'll still respect

00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:19.940
you tomorrow, and it won't come in your mouth.

00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:24.039
All the lies everyone tells. Don't worry. You'll

00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:26.919
get a courtesy tap. Oh, shit, I'm sorry. I forgot.

00:09:27.019 --> 00:09:29.860
I lost myself at the moment. You were so good,

00:09:29.940 --> 00:09:36.330
I couldn't. Yeah. Yeah, sorry about that. Here's

00:09:36.330 --> 00:09:39.250
a towel. I'm going to do a Bill Clinton. Put

00:09:39.250 --> 00:09:43.230
some ointment on that. It is getting really tiring

00:09:43.230 --> 00:09:47.769
watching the NFL give their gambling partners

00:09:47.769 --> 00:09:50.909
a reach around every Sunday. It's just making

00:09:50.909 --> 00:09:53.570
me ill. That is destroying the NFL if you ask

00:09:53.570 --> 00:09:56.509
me. I think it's ridiculous. The ass -kissing

00:09:56.509 --> 00:09:58.570
that goes on to the bettors, the gamblers. Everything's

00:09:58.570 --> 00:10:01.870
like draft kings, draft kings. Fan duel. Fan

00:10:01.870 --> 00:10:04.169
duel. All of it. It's bullshit. And the commercials

00:10:04.169 --> 00:10:06.950
are all, be a winner, be somebody. You're nobody

00:10:06.950 --> 00:10:08.990
unless you're betting. Oh, yeah. And how about,

00:10:09.090 --> 00:10:11.669
like, whenever they kick a field goal or a point

00:10:11.669 --> 00:10:16.230
after, the camera is aimed at the giant board.

00:10:16.730 --> 00:10:19.690
that has DraftKings on it every fucking time,

00:10:19.870 --> 00:10:22.509
every game, everywhere. And for the Chiefs end

00:10:22.509 --> 00:10:25.529
zone, it's BetMGM. Yes. And they used to show

00:10:25.529 --> 00:10:29.259
the camera angle. looking through the goal post

00:10:29.259 --> 00:10:31.179
out at the field so you see the ball coming at

00:10:31.179 --> 00:10:33.259
you. But you can't get the sponsor's logo on

00:10:33.259 --> 00:10:35.179
the screen that way, so they switch the camera

00:10:35.179 --> 00:10:37.039
around and now you've got a watch from behind.

00:10:37.299 --> 00:10:39.399
You're right. Yeah. Yeah, isn't that bullshit?

00:10:39.580 --> 00:10:41.240
And that's so they can get that in there. Yeah.

00:10:41.340 --> 00:10:43.659
They get that plug without being a plug. It's

00:10:43.659 --> 00:10:45.679
bullshit. I mean, they do everything possible

00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:48.779
to remind you that the game is not the main thing.

00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:52.100
The broadcast and the sponsors, that's the main

00:10:52.100 --> 00:10:55.320
thing. Everything takes a backseat to that. The

00:10:55.320 --> 00:10:58.779
bit MGM reminds me a bit of in the 80s when you

00:10:58.779 --> 00:11:02.179
saw Pepsi cans placed right at the camera in

00:11:02.179 --> 00:11:05.059
every movie. I remember a Superman movie where

00:11:05.059 --> 00:11:07.899
Superman got thrown through a Pepsi truck. Yes.

00:11:07.940 --> 00:11:11.539
Yeah. Yeah. They pay for that. They pay a lot

00:11:11.539 --> 00:11:13.259
of money for that. So whenever there's a big

00:11:13.259 --> 00:11:16.059
scene and there's a Pepsi can over to the right,

00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:18.919
dead center, you can see the logo perfectly placed

00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:21.940
there. That was paid for. Pepsi said, hey, how

00:11:21.940 --> 00:11:24.159
much to put this in, I don't know, Fast Times

00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:25.960
at Ridgemont High or whatever. They're trying

00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:30.679
to get the kids indoctrinated into liking Pepsi

00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:33.639
instead of Coke. Because Coca -Cola is the great

00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:35.980
American drink, but it didn't work. Pepsi's fallen

00:11:35.980 --> 00:11:39.259
even further now. Remember back when they had

00:11:39.259 --> 00:11:43.230
candy cigarettes? Yes. And kids would... buy

00:11:43.230 --> 00:11:46.049
them and pretend they're smoking. I was one of

00:11:46.049 --> 00:11:49.309
them. Me too. And it led kids into thinking smoking

00:11:49.309 --> 00:11:51.230
was fun and cool and I couldn't wait to smoke.

00:11:51.450 --> 00:11:53.690
And they decided, well, this is bad for kids,

00:11:53.730 --> 00:11:55.929
so we're going to ban these. They banned the

00:11:55.929 --> 00:11:58.110
candy cigarettes, but they didn't forget the

00:11:58.110 --> 00:12:01.210
lesson that if you get them early enough, you

00:12:01.210 --> 00:12:03.070
can talk them into anything. I mean, look at

00:12:03.070 --> 00:12:05.830
the Hitler youth. Get them early enough, you

00:12:05.830 --> 00:12:09.750
can talk them into absolutely anything. Brainwashing

00:12:09.750 --> 00:12:14.090
works. Yeah, it does. Yeah, that's true. All

00:12:14.090 --> 00:12:16.990
right. Well, we got anything else about the Chiefs

00:12:16.990 --> 00:12:20.250
or should we move on? Yeah. Chris Jones doing

00:12:20.250 --> 00:12:23.830
that offsides on fourth and two that prolonged

00:12:23.830 --> 00:12:25.990
Denver's drive and helped him get the go -ahead

00:12:25.990 --> 00:12:30.350
score. You think he was told to do that? I kind

00:12:30.350 --> 00:12:33.690
of think so. It looked really obvious to me.

00:12:33.909 --> 00:12:35.809
Yeah. I mean, it looked so plain. And the people

00:12:35.809 --> 00:12:38.330
around him on the Chiefs line. wouldn't even

00:12:38.330 --> 00:12:40.529
say, hey, do get back, you're over. It reminds

00:12:40.529 --> 00:12:44.870
me of when he let Trevor Lawrence fall down,

00:12:45.029 --> 00:12:48.289
get back up, and run six yards into the end zone

00:12:48.289 --> 00:12:49.669
when he was standing there at the goal line.

00:12:49.789 --> 00:12:52.350
I think Chris Jones is occasionally told, take

00:12:52.350 --> 00:12:54.809
this play off. Well, it kind of looks like it.

00:12:55.090 --> 00:12:57.629
And if not, then you have to get rid of that

00:12:57.629 --> 00:13:02.129
guy. Yeah. Because what other... What else could

00:13:02.129 --> 00:13:05.029
you say that is going on there if he's not getting

00:13:05.029 --> 00:13:07.629
paid off or told to or whatever? All this is

00:13:07.629 --> 00:13:11.429
allegedly, but is it malcontent then? Is he mad

00:13:11.429 --> 00:13:13.009
about something? He's like, I'm just going to

00:13:13.009 --> 00:13:16.049
not do anything. If he's not doing it intentionally,

00:13:16.309 --> 00:13:19.330
then he's just gotten that stupid all of a sudden.

00:13:19.509 --> 00:13:21.330
And why are you going to pay tens of millions

00:13:21.330 --> 00:13:24.190
of dollars to a guy who is so stupid that he

00:13:24.190 --> 00:13:26.210
can't even tell when he lines up offside and

00:13:26.210 --> 00:13:29.309
then he jumps offside too just to make sure they

00:13:29.309 --> 00:13:32.600
throw the flag? It just looked so obvious to

00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:35.840
me. And then the look on his face like, oh, gee,

00:13:35.940 --> 00:13:39.759
I goofed. Totally fake reaction on his part.

00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:44.279
Completely. Yeah. It was interesting, Denver

00:13:44.279 --> 00:13:46.559
controlled the clock. They had three drives of

00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:50.539
eight -plus minutes. They had two drives of 14

00:13:50.539 --> 00:13:56.039
and 16 plays each. Oladokun held to 43 yards

00:13:56.039 --> 00:13:58.980
passing until late in the fourth quarter. 43.

00:13:59.879 --> 00:14:03.120
No, I knew that, yeah. Nuts. Yeah. Kelsey was

00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:07.639
our leading receiver with five catches for 36

00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:10.200
yards. I know. Isn't that crazy? That's more

00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:13.679
than half of the total passing yards, just 36.

00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:17.480
And that's more than half. The running game was

00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:21.139
just as inept. Yeah. It shows you how good the

00:14:21.139 --> 00:14:25.409
defense actually did. Yeah. Yeah, they did. The

00:14:25.409 --> 00:14:27.529
defense has been playing really well with their

00:14:27.529 --> 00:14:31.889
backups. So I think we need to get a Max Crosby,

00:14:32.110 --> 00:14:36.250
possibly. Yeah, we were talking about him earlier.

00:14:37.049 --> 00:14:40.809
Up until now, he's been totally rah -rah Raiders,

00:14:40.830 --> 00:14:42.850
all for the Raiders, wants to stay, wants to

00:14:42.850 --> 00:14:46.149
succeed. And then they told him he's benched

00:14:46.149 --> 00:14:47.909
for this final game and he doesn't get a save.

00:14:48.490 --> 00:14:51.649
He really wanted to play. And the coach said,

00:14:51.690 --> 00:14:54.070
we want to protect your trade value. That would

00:14:54.070 --> 00:14:56.529
infuriate me. Yeah, that would infuriate me too.

00:14:56.610 --> 00:14:58.549
All along they've been telling him, we want you,

00:14:58.649 --> 00:15:00.070
we want you, and now all of a sudden it's like,

00:15:00.169 --> 00:15:02.830
oh, yeah, well you can't play because we're going

00:15:02.830 --> 00:15:06.330
to trade you. And they made him leave the facility.

00:15:06.330 --> 00:15:08.830
The first reports on the first day this came

00:15:08.830 --> 00:15:11.230
out for the first few hours, every report said

00:15:11.230 --> 00:15:13.870
he was asked to leave, he was told to leave.

00:15:14.389 --> 00:15:16.840
Silly. Now they've changed that and say, oh,

00:15:16.860 --> 00:15:20.299
he decided to leave. He chose to leave. No. He

00:15:20.299 --> 00:15:22.279
was booted out. He was booted out. And now they're

00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:24.879
trying to spin it otherwise, but he was booted

00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:27.360
out. He's told, you're not starting. You can't

00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:29.120
do anything about it. Get the hell out. We'll

00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:31.639
let you know when you're traded. Yeah. Basically.

00:15:31.899 --> 00:15:34.340
So he is pissed as hell. I'm going to take this

00:15:34.340 --> 00:15:37.379
a little bit further. What do you give up for

00:15:37.379 --> 00:15:43.320
a Max Crosby, if available? I'd say a third rounder

00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:47.049
and a player. I think so. I'd go third rounder.

00:15:47.169 --> 00:15:50.429
I say you want Chris Jones? Oh, yeah. Take Chris

00:15:50.429 --> 00:15:52.450
Jones, please. Yeah, you got a pass rusher there.

00:15:52.529 --> 00:15:55.230
You got a big guy. We'll take Crosby. You take

00:15:55.230 --> 00:15:59.610
him. Hey, we sent Neil Smith to, what, the Broncos

00:15:59.610 --> 00:16:02.230
way back in the day? Yeah, he got us good. Yeah,

00:16:02.250 --> 00:16:04.230
we can send Chris Jones to the Raiders. Yeah,

00:16:04.230 --> 00:16:06.190
there we go. He can be your headache, dudes.

00:16:06.590 --> 00:16:11.450
And Neil Smith completely won two Super Bowls

00:16:11.450 --> 00:16:14.340
with him after we did that. Yeah. One on us.

00:16:14.740 --> 00:16:17.860
But on the other hand, Neil Smith alone wasn't

00:16:17.860 --> 00:16:20.080
going to help the Chiefs get anywhere, so why

00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:24.299
not? No. No, at that time, they were actually

00:16:24.299 --> 00:16:27.320
looking not only to replace Smith, but also Thomas,

00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:29.860
too. Yeah. So both of them were kind of like,

00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:31.919
you know, for different reasons, falling off

00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:36.120
the ledge a little bit there. So, you know, Thomas

00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:39.240
and I think Smith, too, were notorious for skipping

00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:42.039
workouts. Yeah. So, yeah. Yeah, they said with

00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:46.179
Derek Thomas. He didn't really participate wholeheartedly

00:16:46.179 --> 00:16:48.320
in practice. In fact, in practice, he just wasn't

00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:50.879
much. You watch him in practice, this guy's a

00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:53.360
second stringer. But on game day, man, he just

00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:57.120
blew up. He was so much emulating Lawrence Taylor.

00:16:57.279 --> 00:16:59.440
He was the same on that aspect of it. Yeah, that's

00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:01.460
true. Lawrence Taylor, you see him on the practice

00:17:01.460 --> 00:17:04.200
field, you go, who's that bum? Yeah. Why is he

00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:06.039
wearing Lawrence Taylor's numbers? Yeah, yeah.

00:17:06.140 --> 00:17:08.539
It's like, that guy's slow and lethargic and

00:17:08.539 --> 00:17:10.119
don't care. And then all of a sudden, it's like,

00:17:10.140 --> 00:17:12.319
that's the same guy right there that's like destroying

00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:15.119
the quarterback. He just hasn't switched it on

00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:17.720
yet. Yeah, and that's the way DT was too. True.

00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:21.480
It worked for him. Yeah, it worked. If he would

00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:22.759
have lived, it would have been interesting to

00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:25.140
see if he could have revitalized his career a

00:17:25.140 --> 00:17:28.660
little bit more. Yeah. But probably not because,

00:17:28.779 --> 00:17:31.980
let's see, he broke his back, right? In that

00:17:31.980 --> 00:17:37.440
wreck? Yeah. Okay, he broke his back. And the

00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:40.680
thing that killed him was blood clots that formed

00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:43.160
and went to his heart. He was in Miami at one

00:17:43.160 --> 00:17:47.539
of the top doctors. And I don't know if he would

00:17:47.539 --> 00:17:50.500
have played again. Probably not. Yeah, so I guess

00:17:50.500 --> 00:17:52.519
that's irrelevant. His career was over essentially.

00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:56.619
Well, let's say if the wreck didn't happen. If

00:17:56.619 --> 00:17:58.339
the wreck didn't happen, I would love to see

00:17:58.339 --> 00:18:02.259
him. Because he was kind of at that age where

00:18:02.259 --> 00:18:04.660
if he worked out a little bit more, he'd probably

00:18:04.660 --> 00:18:06.859
be fine for another two or three years. Yeah.

00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:09.559
He had that kind of athleticism that was like

00:18:09.559 --> 00:18:13.920
just born in you, you know. So not quite a Bo

00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:17.380
Jackson, but. Yeah. But it is kind of interesting

00:18:17.380 --> 00:18:20.680
to think of. It did seem to be that if he hadn't

00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:23.500
gone through the accident and died, that he might

00:18:23.500 --> 00:18:26.839
have been traded that next year. I think so.

00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:29.140
Well, they were looking at a complete rebuild,

00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:32.859
obviously. Yeah, and you sell off your highest

00:18:32.859 --> 00:18:36.380
value properties in order to get the money in

00:18:36.380 --> 00:18:38.119
draft picks. I mean, look at the Jets. They're

00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:39.940
set up perfectly in the draft. They've got a

00:18:39.940 --> 00:18:42.440
ton of high -round draft picks. I know. I'm looking

00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:46.410
for them. I don't know about the people that

00:18:46.410 --> 00:18:48.609
run them. Yeah. They have an opportunity. Whether

00:18:48.609 --> 00:18:50.769
they'll actually be able to do it is another

00:18:50.769 --> 00:18:53.029
thing. Well, now's the time to clear house and

00:18:53.029 --> 00:18:54.730
get the people in there that you want. Yeah.

00:18:55.769 --> 00:18:58.829
And they've got a lot of trade stuff. I mean,

00:18:58.849 --> 00:19:01.150
they can trade draft picks to get players instead

00:19:01.150 --> 00:19:03.029
of having to just draft, like, you know, five

00:19:03.029 --> 00:19:04.910
players in the first three rounds or two rounds.

00:19:05.190 --> 00:19:09.680
Players, players. Alright, we got anything more,

00:19:09.700 --> 00:19:12.500
Chiefs? Yeah, I got some information about the

00:19:12.500 --> 00:19:17.799
stadium deal. Oh, good. The way the stadium deal

00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:22.660
is written, that the Chiefs will get every penny

00:19:22.660 --> 00:19:27.779
made in the stadium from any event and from any

00:19:27.779 --> 00:19:32.940
source. So from every Chiefs game, they get the

00:19:32.940 --> 00:19:35.339
tickets, they get... All of the merchandise,

00:19:35.700 --> 00:19:38.319
they get all of the parking, they get all of

00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:40.440
the concession, all of that money goes to the

00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:43.660
Chiefs. Every penny. And then next week, Chiefs

00:19:43.660 --> 00:19:45.359
are out of town playing somewhere and they bring

00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:47.960
a concert in, Chiefs get every penny from that

00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:53.960
too. So the stadium itself never makes a penny

00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:58.359
for Kansas. Every cent goes to the Chiefs. Wow.

00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:01.799
Now the Chiefs have to pay $7 million a year

00:20:01.799 --> 00:20:05.710
in rent. But they pay it into an account that

00:20:05.710 --> 00:20:09.089
they control themselves. And then they get to

00:20:09.089 --> 00:20:12.250
dip into it for maintenance and upkeep and various

00:20:12.250 --> 00:20:14.589
other things. And, of course, they can skim whatever

00:20:14.589 --> 00:20:16.329
they want off the top and just take the money

00:20:16.329 --> 00:20:18.809
back. So basically they pay nothing and it's

00:20:18.809 --> 00:20:21.170
built for them. Yeah. Basically the chiefs are

00:20:21.170 --> 00:20:23.450
paying nothing and they have no property taxes

00:20:23.450 --> 00:20:27.569
ever. I know. So it's 100 % completely free.

00:20:27.650 --> 00:20:30.210
All it does is make money for the chiefs. Anytime

00:20:30.210 --> 00:20:32.390
something happens there, every penny goes to

00:20:32.390 --> 00:20:35.519
the chiefs. None to Kansas. It's a smart idea.

00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:39.599
It's billionaire welfare. Yeah, it is. It really

00:20:39.599 --> 00:20:43.019
is. The Chiefs family is worth $25 billion. They

00:20:43.019 --> 00:20:45.539
don't need a big sweetheart deal like this, but

00:20:45.539 --> 00:20:47.880
they could get it, so they got it. No, exactly,

00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:50.460
because everyone else is, and they know what

00:20:50.460 --> 00:20:52.559
they have. They're aware of what they have. Yeah.

00:20:52.940 --> 00:20:56.099
And that's the problem. And so is everybody else.

00:20:56.319 --> 00:20:58.700
Everyone else knows that, hey, if this doesn't

00:20:58.700 --> 00:21:00.460
go through, if both sides don't do anything,

00:21:00.740 --> 00:21:04.170
they're up for grabs. An organization like that

00:21:04.170 --> 00:21:06.109
with Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid at the helm,

00:21:06.230 --> 00:21:09.130
oh, fuck. Yeah. Yeah, they would have no problem

00:21:09.130 --> 00:21:11.410
landing. I think Chicago would have reached out

00:21:11.410 --> 00:21:12.710
and tried to get him because they've been wanting

00:21:12.710 --> 00:21:15.549
a second team for a long time. Yeah. And not

00:21:15.549 --> 00:21:18.430
Chicago proper, but a lot of the outlying areas

00:21:18.430 --> 00:21:21.130
that have the money are actively looking for

00:21:21.130 --> 00:21:23.369
a team. In fact, the Bears are having trouble

00:21:23.369 --> 00:21:26.210
working out this stadium deal with Chicago, Illinois

00:21:26.210 --> 00:21:28.690
itself, so they're looking at Indiana. Yeah.

00:21:28.750 --> 00:21:32.720
The Bears might move to Indiana. Wasn't it Gary,

00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:35.440
Indiana they're talking about? And I'm like thinking,

00:21:35.480 --> 00:21:37.779
they don't have money, do they? No, they don't

00:21:37.779 --> 00:21:39.960
have money. That's probably bullshit. But they

00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:41.660
said somewhere in Northwest, they'll still call

00:21:41.660 --> 00:21:44.680
themselves the Chicago Bears, but it's like the

00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:46.940
Jets and the Giants playing in New Jersey and

00:21:46.940 --> 00:21:49.279
calling themselves the New York team. The North

00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:52.220
Shore would probably be the area that gets it

00:21:52.220 --> 00:21:54.279
because they have the money, they're affluent,

00:21:54.299 --> 00:21:59.539
and it's kind of like Kansas City, Kansas, Kansas

00:21:59.539 --> 00:22:02.130
City, Missouri. True, true. The money's up there

00:22:02.130 --> 00:22:05.509
to the North Shore. Let me think of some of the

00:22:05.509 --> 00:22:09.049
towns. Wilmette, places like that are very affluent.

00:22:09.369 --> 00:22:13.170
And so they would probably hit the stadium if

00:22:13.170 --> 00:22:19.130
anybody does. So, yeah. So, yeah. And Silterfield,

00:22:19.309 --> 00:22:21.589
I hate to think how old that thing is. Is it

00:22:21.589 --> 00:22:23.930
from the 40s maybe? I don't know. Seems like

00:22:23.930 --> 00:22:26.750
it. It's an old stadium. They've refurbished

00:22:26.750 --> 00:22:28.990
it a few times. But, yeah, there's almost so

00:22:28.990 --> 00:22:31.240
much you can do with old bones. Yeah, and that's

00:22:31.240 --> 00:22:33.119
about it. Well, it's kind of like Arrowhead.

00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:35.400
Right now, there's only so much you can do with

00:22:35.400 --> 00:22:39.079
old bones. Yeah. But they are getting, you know

00:22:39.079 --> 00:22:40.619
what's cool is they're getting a lot of heat,

00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:46.380
and justifiably so. Yeah. About screwing the

00:22:46.380 --> 00:22:49.359
people with the fan base. Yeah. Because what

00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:52.180
they're doing is reshuffling it. You're not going

00:22:52.180 --> 00:22:54.119
to have your same tickets or anything if you're

00:22:54.119 --> 00:22:57.850
not going to pay more money and a PSL. Yeah,

00:22:57.850 --> 00:22:59.769
that's how they make sure that everyone who does

00:22:59.769 --> 00:23:02.269
show up for the game on game day has a lot of

00:23:02.269 --> 00:23:05.869
money to spend. Yes. Yep. And you know what?

00:23:05.910 --> 00:23:09.349
They don't give a shit about you. No. It's the

00:23:09.349 --> 00:23:11.150
attitude, if you don't have enough money to spend,

00:23:11.289 --> 00:23:15.009
then stay home. Yeah. I've seen restaurants doing

00:23:15.009 --> 00:23:17.170
that. In fact, the wait staff saying, if you

00:23:17.170 --> 00:23:19.269
don't have enough money to tip me 20%, don't

00:23:19.269 --> 00:23:21.710
even come out to eat. You're not rich enough

00:23:21.710 --> 00:23:24.339
to come out to eat. which is a snotty and arrogant

00:23:24.339 --> 00:23:27.059
attitude, but the NFL has adopted that attitude.

00:23:27.380 --> 00:23:29.539
If you can't spend a few hundred dollars every

00:23:29.539 --> 00:23:31.279
time you come out to the stadium, we'll find

00:23:31.279 --> 00:23:33.920
somebody who does, and we'll give them your season

00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:37.500
ticket. Yep. And they can. You know, new state,

00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:39.859
new stadium, new everything. They don't have

00:23:39.859 --> 00:23:41.759
to honor any agreement with the current season

00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:44.559
ticket holders. There's always a way they can

00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:47.299
get out of it. Yep. And they will. Yep, they

00:23:47.299 --> 00:23:51.259
will. And sorry, I've got to book a hair appointment

00:23:51.259 --> 00:23:54.140
while I'm thinking about it. Because if you don't,

00:23:54.140 --> 00:23:56.900
you don't get in. I've got to have my hairs cut

00:23:56.900 --> 00:23:59.660
for the new year. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Number two

00:23:59.660 --> 00:24:01.960
on the sides. A little flip -flop on the front,

00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:03.720
right? There we go. There we go. All right. Get

00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:08.299
my ears lowered. Okay. I've been watching the

00:24:08.299 --> 00:24:11.940
Netflix series Quarterback. Yeah. In the first

00:24:11.940 --> 00:24:22.309
season, it was Mahomes and Marcus Mariota. Kirk

00:24:22.309 --> 00:24:25.730
Cousins, I think. And now the second season is

00:24:25.730 --> 00:24:32.390
Kirk Cousins again and Jared Goff. And who's

00:24:32.390 --> 00:24:40.930
the third guy? Total blank. Anyway, I'm trying

00:24:40.930 --> 00:24:43.150
to think. Oh, Joe Burrow. Oh, Joe Burrow, yeah.

00:24:43.630 --> 00:24:46.029
So interesting they picked three white quarterbacks

00:24:46.029 --> 00:24:50.680
to do this second season. Oh, yeah. It's interesting

00:24:50.680 --> 00:24:54.759
because the show is taping the 2024 season, so

00:24:54.759 --> 00:24:58.039
last year. And Jared Goff is having some issues

00:24:58.039 --> 00:25:01.079
here and there. And then I compared him to what

00:25:01.079 --> 00:25:05.000
he did against Minnesota this season. I mean,

00:25:05.019 --> 00:25:07.279
this last game against Minnesota, Jared Goff

00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:12.099
was the turnover machine. Two picks, three fumbles.

00:25:12.519 --> 00:25:16.500
Five turnovers that were directly Jared Goff's

00:25:16.500 --> 00:25:19.970
fault. Oh, yeah, no, he was horrible. They knew

00:25:19.970 --> 00:25:22.150
what they were doing with him. The Vikings knew

00:25:22.150 --> 00:25:25.210
what to do. The Vikings just came in there and

00:25:25.210 --> 00:25:28.190
they destroyed Jared Goff with that pass rush.

00:25:28.369 --> 00:25:31.690
Yep, yep. They held him to, with four minutes

00:25:31.690 --> 00:25:35.230
left in the game, the Lions had 174 yards passing.

00:25:37.210 --> 00:25:39.809
Or maybe it was 174 total yards, I don't know.

00:25:40.329 --> 00:25:42.569
Yeah, I got some stuff about the Lions. Running

00:25:42.569 --> 00:25:45.150
game was nowhere to be found. What was the last

00:25:45.150 --> 00:25:48.710
thing? Oh, Minnesota's Brosmer was 9 for 16 and

00:25:48.710 --> 00:25:50.930
51 yards. I know. And they still won the game.

00:25:50.930 --> 00:25:53.289
They still won the game significantly. So, yeah,

00:25:53.349 --> 00:25:55.509
we've learned what there is to learn about the

00:25:55.509 --> 00:25:57.589
Lions, I think. Oh, yeah. Well, here I've got

00:25:57.589 --> 00:25:59.190
something for you because I have a big write

00:25:59.190 --> 00:26:00.910
-up on this. I'll just go over it. You've covered

00:26:00.910 --> 00:26:03.529
a lot of it. But the Lions are 8 -8 for a 500

00:26:03.529 --> 00:26:06.569
record. What's happened to them? They've had

00:26:06.569 --> 00:26:08.930
a few injuries, but not any more than any other

00:26:08.930 --> 00:26:12.819
team has had. The Vikings with a brand new rookie

00:26:12.819 --> 00:26:15.259
beat them soundly, although it wasn't the rookie

00:26:15.259 --> 00:26:18.299
that beat them. Yeah. So Dan Campbell was looted

00:26:18.299 --> 00:26:20.359
from with his offensive coordinator, Ben Johnson.

00:26:20.839 --> 00:26:24.700
Okay. Ben Johnson is 11 -5 currently in concussion

00:26:24.700 --> 00:26:28.299
for the NFC number one seed. Yeah. Ben Johnson

00:26:28.299 --> 00:26:32.099
has helped Caleb Williams become a superstar.

00:26:32.500 --> 00:26:35.059
Yeah. Could this be a huge factor in Detroit's

00:26:35.059 --> 00:26:37.609
collapse? I think it is. I think that was an

00:26:37.609 --> 00:26:39.650
essential person for them. It really does seem

00:26:39.650 --> 00:26:41.549
like the front office is letting the team down.

00:26:41.750 --> 00:26:43.730
Yeah, they are. That's the big difference. Ben

00:26:43.730 --> 00:26:45.430
Johnson, I can't blame him for getting a head

00:26:45.430 --> 00:26:47.190
coaching job, and he's doing very well. Yeah.

00:26:47.289 --> 00:26:49.809
But I'm thinking, like, he was the one that kept

00:26:49.809 --> 00:26:51.730
Jared Goff together enough to where they could

00:26:51.730 --> 00:26:54.190
at least get to the playoffs. Yeah. Playoffs,

00:26:54.190 --> 00:26:57.369
playoffs. So I think that's part of what's going

00:26:57.369 --> 00:26:59.809
on there, but not everything. Yeah. The question

00:26:59.809 --> 00:27:06.880
I got is, is the team – starting to not believe

00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:10.819
in Dan Campbell? Is he losing the team? It kind

00:27:10.819 --> 00:27:13.059
of seems like it's heading that way because he

00:27:13.059 --> 00:27:14.700
really doesn't seem to have a lot of answers.

00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:17.180
He's the same rah -rah guy. There's nothing new

00:27:17.180 --> 00:27:19.119
coming out of him. We don't see any new wrinkles

00:27:19.119 --> 00:27:21.200
on the team. It's just, well, this is what we

00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:22.680
do. We're just going to keep doing it. We're

00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:24.000
going to get better at doing it. We're just going

00:27:24.000 --> 00:27:26.400
to keep doing it. Hey, maybe he gets C .J. Stroud

00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:28.240
when he's talking to him on that Buffalo Wild

00:27:28.240 --> 00:27:30.990
Wings commercial. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, and C .J.

00:27:31.029 --> 00:27:33.869
Stroud could throw three interceptions. Maybe

00:27:33.869 --> 00:27:36.329
that's it. He did too many commercials in the

00:27:36.329 --> 00:27:38.509
offseason and it rotted out his brain. Yeah,

00:27:38.569 --> 00:27:42.049
that's it right there. Yeah. I think it's CP.

00:27:42.829 --> 00:27:47.890
Yeah, yeah. All right, Green Bay got pummeled.

00:27:48.170 --> 00:27:51.089
Yeah. But anything to that. Jordan Love is out

00:27:51.089 --> 00:27:53.190
with a concussion, but their defense gives up

00:27:53.190 --> 00:27:57.650
218 yards to Derrick Henry. Yeah. And four touchdowns.

00:27:58.009 --> 00:28:01.670
Not to mention Tyler Huntley beat them. Wow.

00:28:01.809 --> 00:28:06.869
Because Lamar Jackson is out. Pretty much doing

00:28:06.869 --> 00:28:10.490
what we always said. Lamar Jackson is not the

00:28:10.490 --> 00:28:13.190
answer to any team. Yeah. And the reason is because

00:28:13.190 --> 00:28:15.890
you cannot have someone run that much and be

00:28:15.890 --> 00:28:18.329
successful. Yeah. For a lot of different reasons,

00:28:18.369 --> 00:28:21.329
but the main reason is what we've seen here.

00:28:21.609 --> 00:28:25.529
He's injured over half of the time. Yeah. I mean,

00:28:25.549 --> 00:28:27.690
he may be injured as much as Joe Burrow, and

00:28:27.690 --> 00:28:29.410
Joe Burrow is not a running quarterback. He's

00:28:29.410 --> 00:28:32.230
just fragile. Yeah. No, actually, he doesn't

00:28:32.230 --> 00:28:34.890
have an offensive line. Never has. That's more

00:28:34.890 --> 00:28:41.730
like it. Yeah. So, Green Bay, I don't know. I

00:28:41.730 --> 00:28:43.230
don't think they're going to make it very far.

00:28:43.250 --> 00:28:45.430
No, they don't look like the real thing anymore.

00:28:47.210 --> 00:28:49.710
It's not just Jordan Love being out. They've

00:28:49.710 --> 00:28:52.190
been inconsistent all season. Yes. They'll look

00:28:52.190 --> 00:28:55.299
good for a while, then they just – They'll look

00:28:55.299 --> 00:28:57.539
like a world beater, and then they look like

00:28:57.539 --> 00:29:00.279
nothing. I mean, they got pummeled in Denver,

00:29:00.359 --> 00:29:02.180
and then Denver got pummeled by Jacksonville,

00:29:02.240 --> 00:29:04.619
and then Denver barely beat the Chiefs third

00:29:04.619 --> 00:29:08.619
and fourth stringers. I remember the Chiefs last

00:29:08.619 --> 00:29:10.700
year, they looked good in every game. Even the

00:29:10.700 --> 00:29:12.500
ones they lost, they still looked good in every

00:29:12.500 --> 00:29:15.140
game. There were at least flashes of greatness

00:29:15.140 --> 00:29:17.319
in all the games. This year, the Chiefs look

00:29:17.319 --> 00:29:20.039
lost. Like they can't believe this isn't working

00:29:20.039 --> 00:29:22.680
anymore. Green Bay's kind of looking the same

00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:24.759
way. Well, I mean, they're kind of like the fans.

00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:27.440
Yeah, they're kind of like the fans on this aspect.

00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:30.160
Like, well, why isn't working? We got everybody.

00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:33.519
How about this receiving team? I mean, at this

00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:36.019
point, I mean, do you even like keep Rashi Rice?

00:29:36.039 --> 00:29:38.960
I don't know. I don't know anymore. You know,

00:29:39.000 --> 00:29:42.000
he looks great sometimes, but the fact that he

00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:45.640
can fall off so badly. is very concerning. It

00:29:45.640 --> 00:29:48.259
is. He's not going to be the franchise receiver

00:29:48.259 --> 00:29:50.859
to carry your team if he just can fall off like

00:29:50.859 --> 00:29:53.140
this. He should have been that. So what's going

00:29:53.140 --> 00:29:56.819
on? I mean, he got into some trouble. Is that

00:29:56.819 --> 00:29:59.420
what's going on? I think it's partly that and

00:29:59.420 --> 00:30:01.940
partly he's falling in with the general sense

00:30:01.940 --> 00:30:04.160
of gloom that everybody in the team and especially

00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:05.579
in the offense has. That's part of it, yeah.

00:30:05.759 --> 00:30:08.019
You know, if he and Mahomes really are hanging

00:30:08.019 --> 00:30:10.720
out the way they've always said that he does,

00:30:10.799 --> 00:30:13.339
hangs out with his receivers. then he's probably

00:30:13.339 --> 00:30:16.059
picking up a lot of anger and frustration and

00:30:16.059 --> 00:30:19.500
upset from Mahomes. I've got a question for you.

00:30:20.140 --> 00:30:23.420
All right. How much time does Mahomes have? 24

00:30:23.420 --> 00:30:26.000
hours a day? You have to sleep for some of it,

00:30:26.019 --> 00:30:29.200
right? Yeah. Okay. Well, he posts a lot of pictures

00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:31.339
of him with his family. He posts a lot of pictures

00:30:31.339 --> 00:30:34.140
in practice. He posts a lot of pictures of everything.

00:30:35.039 --> 00:30:38.680
How much time does he have? Is he really spending

00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:40.640
all this time with these people, or is that a

00:30:40.640 --> 00:30:43.000
fabrication to make it sound pretty and cute?

00:30:45.819 --> 00:30:49.619
People have been available to hire to run your

00:30:49.619 --> 00:30:52.559
social media accounts for many years. So I think

00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:55.220
a lot of what Mahomes is doing is he's taking

00:30:55.220 --> 00:30:57.240
some pictures, his wife's taking some pictures,

00:30:57.319 --> 00:30:59.200
other people are taking pictures. They're all

00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:01.059
turning it over to this person who's running

00:31:01.059 --> 00:31:04.799
Mahomes' media accounts. So it's made to look

00:31:04.799 --> 00:31:07.440
like it's constantly ghosted. Right, so it's

00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:09.799
supposed to look like Mahomes is posting all

00:31:09.799 --> 00:31:11.619
this stuff, but he's not. He's hired somebody

00:31:11.619 --> 00:31:14.240
to do it for him. But he still spends a lot of

00:31:14.240 --> 00:31:21.640
time traveling to entertainment things. What

00:31:21.640 --> 00:31:24.900
else have I seen? Oh, he does a lot of commercials,

00:31:25.039 --> 00:31:29.769
not all of them in the off -season. And I'm sure

00:31:29.769 --> 00:31:31.569
he's got a lot of businesses going. He's got

00:31:31.569 --> 00:31:35.490
the restaurant. He's got some other things. He's

00:31:35.490 --> 00:31:39.390
part owner of the Royals. So he's got a lot of

00:31:39.390 --> 00:31:41.609
stuff to occupy his mind that he needs to make

00:31:41.609 --> 00:31:44.990
decisions on. And he doesn't have as much time

00:31:44.990 --> 00:31:47.170
and space for football as he did when he was...

00:31:47.480 --> 00:31:49.559
in his second or third year. Well, and that would

00:31:49.559 --> 00:31:55.180
also explain, listen, I'm not saying, look, he's

00:31:55.180 --> 00:31:59.819
a good person and he does his job well. He's

00:31:59.819 --> 00:32:02.019
at that point in life where, you know, football

00:32:02.019 --> 00:32:04.910
is not the most important thing. Right. Which

00:32:04.910 --> 00:32:07.950
is good because there's more to life than football,

00:32:08.049 --> 00:32:09.950
and there's definitely life after football. And

00:32:09.950 --> 00:32:12.190
there will be that time when he has to go ahead

00:32:12.190 --> 00:32:15.529
and say, all right, well, this is it. So, no,

00:32:15.569 --> 00:32:17.890
he's a very well -adjusted, good human being.

00:32:18.970 --> 00:32:23.250
So I think some of this criticism that you have

00:32:23.250 --> 00:32:25.509
about him is very much unwarranted, obviously.

00:32:26.430 --> 00:32:29.089
78 yards passing to where he was always routinely

00:32:29.089 --> 00:32:34.140
getting in the high twos. Yeah. I think he also

00:32:34.140 --> 00:32:37.579
may have lost some of that fire and drive. Probably.

00:32:37.619 --> 00:32:40.880
Not lost altogether, but it's not on football.

00:32:41.059 --> 00:32:43.240
It's on other things in his life. That focus

00:32:43.240 --> 00:32:45.480
and drive and determination is still there, but

00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:47.819
it's now growing his businesses. I think it's

00:32:47.819 --> 00:32:51.660
coming back, though. I think everyone needs that

00:32:51.660 --> 00:32:54.319
slap in the face, that moment of clarity. When

00:32:54.319 --> 00:32:56.299
he's sitting there on the sideline, knowing his

00:32:56.299 --> 00:32:59.539
knees fuck beyond compare, that moment of clarity

00:32:59.539 --> 00:33:02.470
probably set in. Yeah, and that's a fairly common

00:33:02.470 --> 00:33:05.549
trajectory for a lot of players is they're hot

00:33:05.549 --> 00:33:08.950
right out of the gate, and then everything that

00:33:08.950 --> 00:33:10.890
happens to everybody happens where they get all

00:33:10.890 --> 00:33:13.069
these opportunities, they meet people, they got

00:33:13.069 --> 00:33:16.250
all this stuff, and they're focused on football

00:33:16.250 --> 00:33:19.390
waivers. And some of them can bring it back and

00:33:19.390 --> 00:33:21.410
get back to it, and others it's just like that's

00:33:21.410 --> 00:33:22.670
it for them. Well, I've got a bunch of names

00:33:22.670 --> 00:33:26.130
for you here. Yeah. Okay. Peyton Manning. Yeah.

00:33:26.329 --> 00:33:31.269
Brett Favre. Yeah. Aaron Rodgers. Oh, Tom Brady.

00:33:31.890 --> 00:33:35.210
All of them had the lull in their career. People

00:33:35.210 --> 00:33:37.529
started catching up with him, figuring out, salary

00:33:37.529 --> 00:33:40.670
cap caught up with him, all this stuff. So how

00:33:40.670 --> 00:33:43.410
you react to that is everything. Peyton Manning

00:33:43.410 --> 00:33:46.490
needed a fresh start, and they moved him off

00:33:46.490 --> 00:33:48.470
to Denver where he promptly won a couple of Super

00:33:48.470 --> 00:33:51.690
Bowls. Tom Brady, he took a few years off. He

00:33:51.690 --> 00:33:53.869
was still there, but the team was rebuilding.

00:33:54.680 --> 00:33:57.000
He waited and waited and waited and he struck

00:33:57.000 --> 00:33:59.240
while the iron was hot and he won quite a few

00:33:59.240 --> 00:34:02.799
Super Bowls there. And then he went to Tampa

00:34:02.799 --> 00:34:06.799
and won the final one. So all of these guys have

00:34:06.799 --> 00:34:09.320
their own story. Aaron Rodgers, he was in Green

00:34:09.320 --> 00:34:11.739
Bay. And he was like pedestrian, pedestrian,

00:34:11.960 --> 00:34:13.380
pedestrian. And all of a sudden he broke out

00:34:13.380 --> 00:34:15.579
again and started playing really well. And then

00:34:15.579 --> 00:34:19.840
they shipped him off. Well, they let him walk

00:34:19.840 --> 00:34:22.019
maybe? Or did they trade him to the Jets? I can't

00:34:22.019 --> 00:34:25.079
remember. Yeah, it was... I remember at that

00:34:25.079 --> 00:34:27.119
time the team was kind of ready to hand it over

00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:30.400
to Jordan Love. So it was kind of like Aaron

00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:32.579
Rodgers wanted to leave before they cut him or

00:34:32.579 --> 00:34:34.199
traded him. So it was kind of a mutual decision.

00:34:34.199 --> 00:34:36.219
Well, that started the spat right there. They

00:34:36.219 --> 00:34:38.559
drafted Jordan Love and didn't say anything to

00:34:38.559 --> 00:34:41.280
him. Yeah. And also the way they went about it

00:34:41.280 --> 00:34:43.480
is, oh, yeah, this guy is a poor man's Patrick

00:34:43.480 --> 00:34:45.880
Mahomes. So they're already advertising this

00:34:45.880 --> 00:34:49.039
next break. Yeah. And then, you know, Aaron Rodgers

00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:50.679
there going, I'm a Hall of Famer and you're doing

00:34:50.679 --> 00:34:53.300
this shit? Yeah. Yeah. I would have taken offense

00:34:53.300 --> 00:34:55.300
to that, too. I'd be like, all right, well, then,

00:34:55.360 --> 00:34:57.099
if I suck so bad, then go ahead and trade me.

00:34:57.199 --> 00:34:59.519
Yeah. You know, keep this new guy. Tell me, get

00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:01.739
back with me. But it didn't quite work like that.

00:35:02.599 --> 00:35:05.320
But, however, though, I mean, actually, he's

00:35:05.320 --> 00:35:07.360
in the exact same position in Pittsburgh where

00:35:07.360 --> 00:35:11.780
they are in Green Bay. Yeah. So, who's to say?

00:35:11.860 --> 00:35:13.739
Maybe at the end of this year, he'll probably

00:35:13.739 --> 00:35:16.440
retire. We'll see how all of that shakes out

00:35:16.440 --> 00:35:18.440
because Green Bay has not hit the promised land.

00:35:19.579 --> 00:35:21.159
Yeah, and I don't think there's any other team

00:35:21.159 --> 00:35:25.440
Aaron Rodgers could go to at his age. No, no.

00:35:25.519 --> 00:35:27.860
All the ones that are in contention have their

00:35:27.860 --> 00:35:33.099
guy. Yeah. I mean, even C .J. Stroud, as spotty

00:35:33.099 --> 00:35:35.780
as he's been, they've been winning games with

00:35:35.780 --> 00:35:38.699
him, and that's the bottom line. So whatever

00:35:38.699 --> 00:35:40.940
it takes to nut up and get that last fucking

00:35:40.940 --> 00:35:43.889
point in there, they do it. Yeah. And, you know,

00:35:43.929 --> 00:35:45.570
Rogers is going to want to be a starter wherever

00:35:45.570 --> 00:35:47.250
he goes. He's not going to accept being a backup.

00:35:47.369 --> 00:35:51.449
No, no, no. That's not in his thought process,

00:35:51.590 --> 00:35:54.429
no. He's not a backup. And if I was him, I wouldn't

00:35:54.429 --> 00:35:56.230
either. I'd be like, no, no, I'm not a backup,

00:35:56.389 --> 00:35:59.670
you know. You hired me because you want me to

00:35:59.670 --> 00:36:03.309
lead your team. All right. You got something

00:36:03.309 --> 00:36:04.710
or I got something? I got a bunch of stuff. Oh,

00:36:04.710 --> 00:36:07.869
yeah, go ahead. Possible quarterback trades in

00:36:07.869 --> 00:36:11.170
the offseason. Oh, I like this. Here's the one

00:36:11.170 --> 00:36:14.079
to think about. Kyler Murray. From Arizona to

00:36:14.079 --> 00:36:17.880
Miami. I think Arizona's ready to move on from

00:36:17.880 --> 00:36:19.900
them, and Miami's ready to move on from Tua.

00:36:20.039 --> 00:36:22.500
Well, I read the same thing about Lamar Jackson.

00:36:23.320 --> 00:36:26.619
That could be, yeah. Kyler's younger, but Lamar's

00:36:26.619 --> 00:36:30.099
better. Yeah. I don't know which one of them's

00:36:30.099 --> 00:36:33.739
true, but obviously Miami is done with Tua. Yeah.

00:36:33.840 --> 00:36:36.039
And they're shipping on. Hill is probably gone,

00:36:36.099 --> 00:36:41.019
too. So they're looking at... I would say a half

00:36:41.019 --> 00:36:42.900
a rebuild, not the full thing. They've got some

00:36:42.900 --> 00:36:45.840
defensive components. They've got Waddle. They've

00:36:45.840 --> 00:36:47.559
got a running back. I mean, they've got some

00:36:47.559 --> 00:36:49.619
components. They've got a decent offensive line

00:36:49.619 --> 00:36:52.340
now, finally. And with the rebuild and the change

00:36:52.340 --> 00:36:55.139
in offensive philosophy, they don't need somebody

00:36:55.139 --> 00:36:57.820
to come in and be Tua. They need somebody to

00:36:57.820 --> 00:37:00.900
come in and be who he is, who he is himself,

00:37:01.199 --> 00:37:03.059
and then they can build a team around that. Yeah.

00:37:04.139 --> 00:37:06.519
Tua, I would love to see him go be the backup

00:37:06.519 --> 00:37:08.699
in Philadelphia so they can bring back the duo

00:37:08.699 --> 00:37:10.460
over there in Alabama. Wouldn't that be kind

00:37:10.460 --> 00:37:12.800
of cool? Yeah, that would be fun. Yeah, so Tua,

00:37:12.800 --> 00:37:16.320
only it's reversed because Hertz was the backup.

00:37:16.480 --> 00:37:19.079
Yeah. But that would be funny for, you know,

00:37:19.079 --> 00:37:20.820
Hertz to go out and then Tua to come in and throw

00:37:20.820 --> 00:37:24.780
an interception. It would be beautiful. And I

00:37:24.780 --> 00:37:26.780
have nothing against Tua. I like him. He seems

00:37:26.780 --> 00:37:31.000
like a decent person. Yeah, that man's poor brain.

00:37:31.630 --> 00:37:34.010
That's been so savage. I don't know why he even

00:37:34.010 --> 00:37:36.809
wants to still be in there, honestly. Maybe he'd

00:37:36.809 --> 00:37:39.170
spend all his money. I don't know. The thing

00:37:39.170 --> 00:37:41.710
that got me was that last play last year when

00:37:41.710 --> 00:37:44.710
he got the big concussion where he ran straight

00:37:44.710 --> 00:37:48.190
into a lineman head first when he'd had three

00:37:48.190 --> 00:37:50.389
concussions. That was so weird and so stupid.

00:37:50.489 --> 00:37:52.090
It's like, are you trying to hurt yourself? I

00:37:52.090 --> 00:37:53.909
think I dropped my fucking drink. I was like,

00:37:53.949 --> 00:37:56.949
what is that idiot doing? Yeah, that just looked

00:37:56.949 --> 00:38:00.159
so weird. They panned to Mike McDaniels, and

00:38:00.159 --> 00:38:02.360
you could see the look on his face like, what

00:38:02.360 --> 00:38:07.360
the fuck is that guy doing? He's like sitting

00:38:07.360 --> 00:38:09.059
there going, out of all the fucking quarterbacks,

00:38:09.079 --> 00:38:12.639
they're giving me this guy? Yeah. You hobble

00:38:12.639 --> 00:38:14.639
out of the hospital with your leg in the cast,

00:38:14.679 --> 00:38:16.260
and the first thing you do is throw yourself

00:38:16.260 --> 00:38:19.820
down the stairs. It's that level of stupidity.

00:38:19.880 --> 00:38:28.469
But wait, there's more. Another trade. Kirk Cousins

00:38:28.469 --> 00:38:31.849
from Minnesota to Cleveland as a mentor slash

00:38:31.849 --> 00:38:34.630
bridge quarterback. Oh, okay. Well, I also heard

00:38:34.630 --> 00:38:38.889
that about Kansas City, too. Go ahead. But they

00:38:38.889 --> 00:38:45.809
could dump Deshaun Watson, dump Joe Flacco. keep

00:38:45.809 --> 00:38:48.010
Shador Sanders and Dylan Gabriel, because they're

00:38:48.010 --> 00:38:50.630
the young guys, bring in Kirk Cousins and have

00:38:50.630 --> 00:38:53.230
him as the mentor and starter and say, all right,

00:38:53.289 --> 00:38:55.989
you guys learn from me and then take over from

00:38:55.989 --> 00:38:58.630
me. And then Cousins sticks around to help develop

00:38:58.630 --> 00:39:01.710
their careers. I like that idea a lot better

00:39:01.710 --> 00:39:04.949
than going to Kansas City. I think we need to

00:39:04.949 --> 00:39:13.570
keep nurturing. Oladokun. Oladokun, yeah. And

00:39:13.570 --> 00:39:16.429
I will always have problems with his name because

00:39:16.429 --> 00:39:19.269
the letters together don't go together that make

00:39:19.269 --> 00:39:24.110
his name. Yeah, it's... Oladokun. I think you

00:39:24.110 --> 00:39:26.349
need to continue to try to develop him. And if

00:39:26.349 --> 00:39:28.449
not, then you find somebody. I mean, I don't

00:39:28.449 --> 00:39:30.130
think you necessarily need a Kirk Cousins, but

00:39:30.130 --> 00:39:33.659
you need someone that could... play a couple

00:39:33.659 --> 00:39:36.280
games for you and maybe win half of them. Yeah.

00:39:36.480 --> 00:39:38.840
He'd just keep you in the thought until you get

00:39:38.840 --> 00:39:41.440
the guy back. Yeah. Realistically, someone who

00:39:41.440 --> 00:39:44.039
can win. Yes. And it's not going to be a miracle

00:39:44.039 --> 00:39:46.300
for them. Yeah. You're not going to have to throw

00:39:46.300 --> 00:39:48.900
out half your playbook. Yes. They have the skills

00:39:48.900 --> 00:39:51.119
that they can actually go out and do it. I was

00:39:51.119 --> 00:39:53.840
impressed with some of the stuff that he did.

00:39:54.039 --> 00:39:57.780
I see an outline of talent. Yeah. And I think

00:39:57.780 --> 00:40:01.340
he's in the right place. He's in the right place

00:40:01.340 --> 00:40:03.880
to get nurtured and become that guy. Yeah, I

00:40:03.880 --> 00:40:05.960
think that we'll get everything he can be. I

00:40:05.960 --> 00:40:09.260
think he can be here. Yeah. And so here's another

00:40:09.260 --> 00:40:12.579
thought of it, too. You develop this guy. New

00:40:12.579 --> 00:40:15.059
England used to do it all the time. Matt Castle,

00:40:15.199 --> 00:40:18.519
we took him. Jacoby Brissett, he was traded.

00:40:18.719 --> 00:40:21.440
They traded him for significant draft picks.

00:40:21.559 --> 00:40:23.780
Yeah. And it's just people they nurtured up and

00:40:23.780 --> 00:40:26.599
made look really good. Yeah. And set him off.

00:40:27.340 --> 00:40:29.699
It's like, well, no one's replacing Brady, so

00:40:29.699 --> 00:40:31.860
you've got to go. Yeah, we're not going to pay

00:40:31.860 --> 00:40:35.360
you. We can't pay you any money, so go to Kansas

00:40:35.360 --> 00:40:39.159
City. They're dumb at the time. Yeah, we got

00:40:39.159 --> 00:40:44.420
talked into something. Yeah. So, yeah, I could

00:40:44.420 --> 00:40:46.440
see them trying to develop him and maybe doing

00:40:46.440 --> 00:40:49.199
a New England approach to that. Yeah. So, anyhow,

00:40:49.320 --> 00:40:53.400
go ahead. So, last one, Mac Jones from the 49ers

00:40:53.400 --> 00:40:57.409
to Indy. to take over from Daniel Davis. Yeah,

00:40:57.429 --> 00:41:00.150
yeah, yeah, okay, yeah. He backed up Birdie,

00:41:00.170 --> 00:41:02.429
did a pretty good job. He did. I think with the

00:41:02.429 --> 00:41:07.269
right kind of control, he's okay. Yeah. He's

00:41:07.269 --> 00:41:08.769
not a guy that you're going to go out there and

00:41:08.769 --> 00:41:11.289
just go win the game. No, no, no, no, no, no.

00:41:11.349 --> 00:41:13.630
It's like you never deviate from what I tell

00:41:13.630 --> 00:41:15.989
you. Yeah. And you do the play that I tell you.

00:41:16.349 --> 00:41:18.250
If you deviate, you see that guy over there with

00:41:18.250 --> 00:41:21.010
the headset? He's going to be wearing your fucking

00:41:21.010 --> 00:41:24.650
helmet. I like it that they set up these trades

00:41:24.650 --> 00:41:27.929
not to be the franchise quarterback, but this

00:41:27.929 --> 00:41:30.269
helps both the person being traded and the team

00:41:30.269 --> 00:41:32.190
he's going to. You see, to me that makes a hell

00:41:32.190 --> 00:41:35.769
of a lot more sense. Because you're not trading

00:41:35.769 --> 00:41:38.570
at this point to get the man. What you're doing

00:41:38.570 --> 00:41:41.090
is you need someone to supplement. the guy that

00:41:41.090 --> 00:41:43.809
you think can be the man. Yeah, to keep you in

00:41:43.809 --> 00:41:46.409
the position to where you can win when you get

00:41:46.409 --> 00:41:48.110
the right pieces. Yeah, like what the Chiefs

00:41:48.110 --> 00:41:50.849
are looking at. But I firmly believe that Mahomes

00:41:50.849 --> 00:41:53.070
is going to be back anyhow, and he's not going

00:41:53.070 --> 00:41:55.070
to give up any of that. He's going to get the

00:41:55.070 --> 00:41:58.190
good stem cells, the illegal stem cells that

00:41:58.190 --> 00:42:00.289
we don't get. They're slaughtering the babies

00:42:00.289 --> 00:42:05.050
right now to make sure. This is hyperbole. This

00:42:05.050 --> 00:42:07.889
is what they said on South Park. Yes. So take

00:42:07.889 --> 00:42:13.090
it for that. So, no, Mahomes is just that kind

00:42:13.090 --> 00:42:17.150
of a, I mean, he's just like, he's got stuff

00:42:17.150 --> 00:42:19.349
that other people don't have. Yeah. You know,

00:42:19.369 --> 00:42:23.409
he's got like just, I don't know. His genes need

00:42:23.409 --> 00:42:27.480
to be looked at. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, his

00:42:27.480 --> 00:42:30.420
genomes are like, no, no, no, no. There's something

00:42:30.420 --> 00:42:33.860
different about this one that's good. He could

00:42:33.860 --> 00:42:36.420
stand up and yell, my brain is better than everyone

00:42:36.420 --> 00:42:39.440
else's. And everyone would go, yeah, and. Yeah,

00:42:39.440 --> 00:42:41.280
pretty much for football it is. Yeah, yeah, for

00:42:41.280 --> 00:42:43.940
football everyone would go, yeah, and. And everyone

00:42:43.940 --> 00:42:45.739
would go walking off going, I don't know why

00:42:45.739 --> 00:42:52.599
he said that, but okay. I want to talk about

00:42:52.599 --> 00:42:56.469
Joe Burrow and his hospital. trade i didn't hear

00:42:56.469 --> 00:42:59.710
this one let's see yeah please okay he's on a

00:42:59.710 --> 00:43:03.889
five -year 275 million dollar deal but he's been

00:43:03.889 --> 00:43:08.570
hinting at trades oh yeah all year now it could

00:43:08.570 --> 00:43:11.769
be he's trying to blackmail and force the team

00:43:11.769 --> 00:43:14.010
into spending money and making some trades and

00:43:14.010 --> 00:43:15.989
giving up the players he needs i think that's

00:43:15.989 --> 00:43:18.349
more of it but that's probably more likely than

00:43:18.349 --> 00:43:20.750
him actually going somewhere but i also believe

00:43:21.260 --> 00:43:23.219
That he's very serious about having the right

00:43:23.219 --> 00:43:26.440
people around him too. And I think that he does

00:43:26.440 --> 00:43:28.900
not want to be traded, but if they're not going

00:43:28.900 --> 00:43:31.960
to do what he needs, he will take that. But it's

00:43:31.960 --> 00:43:34.420
got to be the right team. Five teams that have

00:43:34.420 --> 00:43:36.800
been mentioned as a possible landing spot for

00:43:36.800 --> 00:43:42.059
him. The Raiders. Yes. I think he could turn

00:43:42.059 --> 00:43:45.320
that team's offense around in a heartbeat. Tom

00:43:45.320 --> 00:43:48.679
Brady could go talk to him. And was that the

00:43:48.679 --> 00:43:52.099
Bowers, their rookie tight end? He's on IR now,

00:43:52.300 --> 00:43:55.079
but he's amazing. I want to see that, and here's

00:43:55.079 --> 00:43:57.719
why. Can you imagine Joe Burrow and Mahomes going

00:43:57.719 --> 00:44:00.559
at it two times a year? And then a lot of times

00:44:00.559 --> 00:44:02.760
for the division? Yeah. You're getting another

00:44:02.760 --> 00:44:05.159
championship game before the championship game.

00:44:05.280 --> 00:44:07.719
That could be incentive for Joe Burrow to want

00:44:07.719 --> 00:44:10.420
to come to the Raiders just so he can play the

00:44:10.420 --> 00:44:14.599
Chiefs twice a year. Or decent. Well, yeah. No,

00:44:14.639 --> 00:44:16.539
he's a competitor. He is. He's a competitor,

00:44:16.659 --> 00:44:19.219
so I think he would. Hey, you guys want to talk?

00:44:21.300 --> 00:44:24.000
Yeah, yeah. We're talking about sports, but we'll

00:44:24.000 --> 00:44:26.860
talk about anything. Where's it at? Oh, you're

00:44:26.860 --> 00:44:29.460
not video? Okay, no, we're not video. We're just

00:44:29.460 --> 00:44:32.980
audio because YouTube has so many restrictions

00:44:32.980 --> 00:44:35.420
and we do a lot of stuff that they would give

00:44:35.420 --> 00:44:37.800
us strikes against. So we're staying away from

00:44:37.800 --> 00:44:39.719
them right now. Later on, we'll tag down and

00:44:39.719 --> 00:44:41.079
probably do that. What are you talking about?

00:44:41.360 --> 00:44:43.579
We're talking about sports on this one. This

00:44:43.579 --> 00:44:46.199
one in particular, it's all branded under Two

00:44:46.199 --> 00:44:48.940
Douchebags and Microphone on all the major platforms.

00:44:49.159 --> 00:44:51.579
But this is the Sports Bastards. This is our

00:44:51.579 --> 00:44:53.579
sports show that we do once a week. Oh, cool.

00:44:53.820 --> 00:44:58.059
Yeah. All right. Thank you. Appreciate it. Have

00:44:58.059 --> 00:45:02.300
a good day. All right. It's always fun to interact

00:45:02.300 --> 00:45:04.960
with people. Last time we podcasted, this place

00:45:04.960 --> 00:45:07.199
was empty because we were late. I know. It was

00:45:07.199 --> 00:45:09.880
kind of weird. It's kind of sad without Miss

00:45:09.880 --> 00:45:13.019
Golfing Street. It is. I mean, after she saved

00:45:13.019 --> 00:45:15.880
those 30 kittens from that burning building,

00:45:16.059 --> 00:45:19.599
she really kind of got out of the spotlight because

00:45:19.599 --> 00:45:21.940
all the TV cameras were going for her and everything.

00:45:22.159 --> 00:45:24.599
Yeah, yeah. So she could be in hiding. Yeah.

00:45:25.739 --> 00:45:28.000
All those cameras were going to capture her soul,

00:45:28.159 --> 00:45:30.139
no problem. Yeah, she had a meeting with the

00:45:30.139 --> 00:45:33.559
president earlier in the year about some security

00:45:33.559 --> 00:45:36.320
things that she wanted to go over. Yeah. I heard

00:45:36.320 --> 00:45:38.780
that went really well. Yeah, they seemed like

00:45:38.780 --> 00:45:42.559
they'd get along. Yeah, yeah, I think so. Okay,

00:45:42.579 --> 00:45:45.119
anyhow. Okay, another possible spot for Joe Burrow.

00:45:45.139 --> 00:45:48.599
Cleveland Browns. They've got a hell of a defense.

00:45:48.800 --> 00:45:50.780
As much as I'm loving seeing you go to the Raiders,

00:45:50.860 --> 00:45:53.320
that makes more sense. It does, doesn't it? And

00:45:53.320 --> 00:45:55.440
they also have an offensive line that's decent.

00:45:55.780 --> 00:45:58.500
You can stay in the same division. Yeah. Yep.

00:45:59.960 --> 00:46:04.139
He could stay well away from, what's his name,

00:46:04.260 --> 00:46:09.369
the massager. Watson. Deshaun Watson. Yes. No,

00:46:09.429 --> 00:46:11.530
they'd probably get rid of him. Deshaun the Predator

00:46:11.530 --> 00:46:15.889
Watson. And I refuse to believe that he's been

00:46:15.889 --> 00:46:18.610
that injured this whole time. No, no. They're

00:46:18.610 --> 00:46:20.590
keeping him away from it because his name has

00:46:20.590 --> 00:46:22.610
not gotten better. People still hate him. And

00:46:22.610 --> 00:46:24.530
he's probably still fondling other people's daughters.

00:46:24.750 --> 00:46:27.670
Yes. Allegedly. Yeah. No, no, no. Don't massage

00:46:27.670 --> 00:46:30.849
me there. Here's where really there's a lot of

00:46:30.849 --> 00:46:35.190
tension right here. No, no, no. There's tension

00:46:35.190 --> 00:46:38.199
right here. But it's wet and sticky. I don't

00:46:38.199 --> 00:46:43.699
care. Give me back that $100 ,000, bitch. No.

00:46:44.739 --> 00:46:48.940
Another option would be the New York Jets. Why

00:46:48.940 --> 00:46:50.860
would he want to ruin his career? Why would he

00:46:50.860 --> 00:46:53.079
want to go there to die? Yeah, they'd have to

00:46:53.079 --> 00:46:56.550
really fix the franchise first. I think the Jets

00:46:56.550 --> 00:46:59.949
would probably benefit, but I think Burrow would

00:46:59.949 --> 00:47:01.710
not benefit. Would you trust him if you were

00:47:01.710 --> 00:47:03.130
Joe Burrow and they said, hey, we're thinking

00:47:03.130 --> 00:47:06.349
about sending you to the Jets. No, no, no. I

00:47:06.349 --> 00:47:10.510
think I'll retire now and open a clothing line.

00:47:11.550 --> 00:47:14.949
He's a clothes horse. Joe Burrow loves clothes.

00:47:15.289 --> 00:47:18.050
Oh, I know. He has his own personal style assistant.

00:47:19.679 --> 00:47:22.300
There was a scene where this guy wheeled in this

00:47:22.300 --> 00:47:25.219
big tailor's rack of all sorts of outfits, and

00:47:25.219 --> 00:47:27.000
Joe was going through picking the ones he liked,

00:47:27.039 --> 00:47:29.739
the ones he didn't like. Well, I'll tell you

00:47:29.739 --> 00:47:33.780
why. He came from dirt floors. God bless him.

00:47:34.179 --> 00:47:36.280
And his mother worked in the fashion industry.

00:47:36.920 --> 00:47:39.400
Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. No, he came

00:47:39.400 --> 00:47:42.039
from a very poor area. Yeah. So it makes sense,

00:47:42.039 --> 00:47:43.420
you know. He's like, you know what, I'm going

00:47:43.420 --> 00:47:45.719
to... Oridian, Ohio, is that it? Yeah. Yeah.

00:47:46.570 --> 00:47:49.730
It makes perfect sense for Burrow to go ahead

00:47:49.730 --> 00:47:55.289
and enjoy life, and I'm glad he is. But it's

00:47:55.289 --> 00:47:58.909
interesting. From watching him, the way he behaves

00:47:58.909 --> 00:48:02.449
on that show, his mannerisms and his odd behavior,

00:48:02.730 --> 00:48:04.710
the things he likes and things he doesn't like,

00:48:04.769 --> 00:48:07.630
and the fact that there's no girl anywhere to

00:48:07.630 --> 00:48:10.849
be seen anywhere, I can see why the rumors keep

00:48:10.849 --> 00:48:13.800
flying about Joe Burrow's sexuality. Yes, I get

00:48:13.800 --> 00:48:15.280
to. I don't care, and it makes no difference,

00:48:15.380 --> 00:48:17.920
and I don't even care to know. But I can see

00:48:17.920 --> 00:48:19.980
how people would possibly think that. I've got

00:48:19.980 --> 00:48:22.659
the capper. What's that? That Blink -182 fucking

00:48:22.659 --> 00:48:25.099
Frosted Tips haircut he had for a while. That

00:48:25.099 --> 00:48:28.639
was a real one. That was like a, huh. Okay, not

00:48:28.639 --> 00:48:32.900
married, no girlfriend, loves clothes. You're

00:48:32.900 --> 00:48:35.619
going to tell me you like show tunes. He watches

00:48:35.619 --> 00:48:38.760
Mary Poppins every weekend to get in the groove

00:48:38.760 --> 00:48:42.840
of the game. Remember when Freddie Mercury? adopted

00:48:42.840 --> 00:48:45.699
that look with the short, black, flattened -down

00:48:45.699 --> 00:48:48.199
hair and the big, thick, black mustache. Yes.

00:48:48.340 --> 00:48:50.500
That was called the clone look, and that was

00:48:50.500 --> 00:48:52.780
really popular in the gay community for a while.

00:48:52.840 --> 00:48:54.800
Oh, yeah, yeah. Everybody was doing that, and

00:48:54.800 --> 00:48:56.980
when Freddie did it, that was basically him telling

00:48:56.980 --> 00:48:59.860
the world, this is who I am, deal with it. Yeah.

00:48:59.900 --> 00:49:02.059
He didn't care anymore. Although everybody knew.

00:49:02.239 --> 00:49:04.300
Yeah, everybody knew already. His mannerisms

00:49:04.300 --> 00:49:08.400
and his attention to detail and art really, really

00:49:08.400 --> 00:49:11.260
gave it away. Especially like those jumps you

00:49:11.260 --> 00:49:13.920
said he used to wear. Yes. With his little flamingo

00:49:13.920 --> 00:49:19.739
poses. I'm sorry. Even a guy like me that was

00:49:19.739 --> 00:49:22.599
clunky his whole life and knew nothing about

00:49:22.599 --> 00:49:25.460
that was like, wait a minute, wait a minute,

00:49:25.519 --> 00:49:27.300
there's something going on. I remember seeing

00:49:27.300 --> 00:49:31.239
pictures of Freddie Mercury, pictures taken on

00:49:31.239 --> 00:49:34.679
stage. Remember Circus Magazine? Yeah, yeah,

00:49:34.679 --> 00:49:37.179
yeah. I remember seeing pictures of him around

00:49:37.179 --> 00:49:41.039
75, 76, and thinking, wow, if he's not careful,

00:49:41.139 --> 00:49:44.280
people are going to think he's gay. I remember

00:49:44.280 --> 00:49:46.980
seeing him on Don Kirshner's rock concert, and

00:49:46.980 --> 00:49:48.519
they panned to the audience, and there's not

00:49:48.519 --> 00:49:51.119
one chick. No. There's a bunch of guys with a

00:49:51.119 --> 00:49:53.840
clone look. Everybody already knew. Yeah. The

00:49:53.840 --> 00:49:56.679
clone look out there going nuts over Freddie,

00:49:56.800 --> 00:50:00.960
and I'm like, wow, that's weird. I watch Kiss.

00:50:01.019 --> 00:50:04.670
I watch Rod Stewart. I watch all these bands.

00:50:04.769 --> 00:50:06.889
Van Halen, I watch all these bands, and there's

00:50:06.889 --> 00:50:09.230
chicks everywhere. Not so much here. Except for

00:50:09.230 --> 00:50:15.030
Queen. They got just as much money to spend as

00:50:15.030 --> 00:50:17.329
the horny chicks do. They probably have more.

00:50:17.650 --> 00:50:19.230
That's true, because they're not dating girls.

00:50:19.570 --> 00:50:25.809
Yes. All right, Team 5, the Miami Dolphins. That

00:50:25.809 --> 00:50:28.849
makes sense. As a matter of fact, let's see.

00:50:30.769 --> 00:50:32.929
I'd love to see him go to the Raiders. Yeah.

00:50:33.050 --> 00:50:37.650
If that doesn't happen, maybe Miami. I would

00:50:37.650 --> 00:50:39.269
love to see him down in Miami. Yeah, I think

00:50:39.269 --> 00:50:40.530
Miami would work out pretty well. He loves the

00:50:40.530 --> 00:50:42.789
fashion industry, right? Yeah. He loves the warm

00:50:42.789 --> 00:50:48.550
weather. Yep. Blink -182. Yeah. Am I right with

00:50:48.550 --> 00:50:50.949
that? Is that what his frost attempts look like,

00:50:50.949 --> 00:50:57.269
like a Blink -182 thing? Yeah. Yeah. I don't

00:50:57.269 --> 00:50:59.369
know. I mean, the only person that comes close

00:50:59.369 --> 00:51:01.250
to him on fashion like that is probably Travis

00:51:01.250 --> 00:51:04.429
Kelsey. Yeah. He's always wearing something fucking

00:51:04.429 --> 00:51:06.690
weird, some sort of a get -up that you've got

00:51:06.690 --> 00:51:08.969
to sit there and go, what? George Kittle as well.

00:51:09.030 --> 00:51:11.010
Oh, George Kittle does. Yeah, he wears some pretty

00:51:11.010 --> 00:51:13.550
wild clothes. Kittle is freakish. I'm sorry.

00:51:13.829 --> 00:51:15.769
He's weird. Oh, yeah. I love the guy. Well, he's

00:51:15.769 --> 00:51:20.449
a ginger. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There we go, right

00:51:20.449 --> 00:51:22.909
there. My youngest is ginger, so I have experience

00:51:22.909 --> 00:51:26.900
with gingers. Oh, I know. I had to quit doing

00:51:26.900 --> 00:51:29.699
that at work. We used to tease around. Oh, a

00:51:29.699 --> 00:51:33.019
soulless ginger. Daywalker. Daywalker, yeah.

00:51:33.159 --> 00:51:35.559
And then finally it's like, hey, if someone overheard

00:51:35.559 --> 00:51:37.639
you saying that, that would be hate speech. Ah,

00:51:37.639 --> 00:51:40.219
okay. Yeah, I can see that. Even though it's

00:51:40.219 --> 00:51:42.860
a big gag between everybody. Yeah. Gingers are

00:51:42.860 --> 00:51:45.179
fine. We love them. Your son's ginger. You know.

00:51:45.280 --> 00:51:47.739
Yeah, Dave Mustaine. Love him. Yeah, Dave Mustaine,

00:51:47.780 --> 00:51:49.659
yeah. Even though he looks like a Beavis now.

00:51:49.880 --> 00:51:53.800
Tina Louise. Oh, yeah. She's pretty hot. Although

00:51:53.800 --> 00:51:56.780
Mary Ann was hotter, yeah. Is he Bonnie Raitt?

00:51:56.940 --> 00:51:59.820
Bonnie, yes. Yep. Awesome slide guitarist. Yep.

00:52:00.699 --> 00:52:03.280
Hey, come on. You can talk. Come on. It's cool.

00:52:03.980 --> 00:52:05.639
No, no, no. We're not on the radio. We're on

00:52:05.639 --> 00:52:08.360
a podcast. Go ahead. What are you talking about?

00:52:08.500 --> 00:52:12.260
We're talking about sports. Oh, okay. And the

00:52:12.260 --> 00:52:15.130
what? Well, we're talking football. We're not

00:52:15.130 --> 00:52:19.429
just talking sports in general. We're talking

00:52:19.429 --> 00:52:22.170
NFL. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, but, I mean, you know,

00:52:22.210 --> 00:52:23.969
the Chiefs are the Chiefs. Things are going on

00:52:23.969 --> 00:52:25.829
with them. But we're done with talking about

00:52:25.829 --> 00:52:28.050
that, you know. Good. We've moved on to the rest

00:52:28.050 --> 00:52:29.869
of the NFL. Right now we're talking about Joe

00:52:29.869 --> 00:52:32.489
Burrow and how possible trade opponents with

00:52:32.489 --> 00:52:36.690
Joe Burrow. I'm not familiar with him. Okay,

00:52:37.289 --> 00:52:40.809
he is the quarterback for Cincinnati. Okay. And

00:52:40.809 --> 00:52:44.090
he is not happy with his team because they haven't

00:52:44.090 --> 00:52:45.670
been able to get the right components around

00:52:45.670 --> 00:52:49.590
him. So supposedly, if this is true, he wants

00:52:49.590 --> 00:52:53.630
a trade, and we're talking over possible contenders

00:52:53.630 --> 00:52:56.170
in the best fit for him. And who do you think

00:52:56.170 --> 00:52:59.690
that might be? Well, Raiders number one. Raiders

00:52:59.690 --> 00:53:02.980
number one. And Miami's a close number two. Because

00:53:02.980 --> 00:53:06.000
he's a competitor, you know, and he would love

00:53:06.000 --> 00:53:07.760
to probably go against Mahomes a couple times

00:53:07.760 --> 00:53:10.699
a year. And think about the ratings on that.

00:53:10.739 --> 00:53:12.579
The NFL would love that. They'd be like, man,

00:53:12.659 --> 00:53:14.699
we need him to go there. Yeah, burrow Mahomes

00:53:14.699 --> 00:53:16.920
twice a year. You've got two championship games

00:53:16.920 --> 00:53:19.519
a year that you can always put on prime time

00:53:19.519 --> 00:53:21.639
and will get optimal amount of viewers. Yeah.

00:53:21.699 --> 00:53:25.179
True that. All about the dollar bill, you know.

00:53:25.360 --> 00:53:30.500
Yeah. Yeah. Awesome. What's next? Possibly the

00:53:30.500 --> 00:53:35.780
Browns. They have a good defense. The owner likes

00:53:35.780 --> 00:53:37.199
the coach. He's probably going to stick around.

00:53:37.820 --> 00:53:40.900
And they need a quarterback. Has anything to

00:53:40.900 --> 00:53:46.380
do about money? Well, yeah, of course. I think

00:53:46.380 --> 00:53:49.039
that whoever, if they do unload him, it's going

00:53:49.039 --> 00:53:51.159
to take draft picks and money. They're going

00:53:51.159 --> 00:53:53.760
to have to assume every bit of his contract and

00:53:53.760 --> 00:53:56.699
give him draft picks. Did you? This is about

00:53:56.699 --> 00:53:58.920
football. You see the guy that reached up in

00:53:58.920 --> 00:54:02.159
the stand and hit that guy. Yes. What's his name?

00:54:02.480 --> 00:54:07.199
DeCaylon Zacharias Metcalf. $45 million contract

00:54:07.199 --> 00:54:11.219
on a little. I know. It didn't even look like

00:54:11.219 --> 00:54:13.599
he could make it. Oh, I know. I know. Did you

00:54:13.599 --> 00:54:17.559
hear what it was about? No. The guy in the stands

00:54:17.559 --> 00:54:20.000
who got punched by him used his full name. He

00:54:20.000 --> 00:54:22.139
didn't call him DK Metcalf. He called him DK

00:54:22.139 --> 00:54:24.280
Lynn Zacharias Metcalf, which is his full name,

00:54:24.380 --> 00:54:25.860
and that pissed him right off, and he went over

00:54:25.860 --> 00:54:27.619
and punched the guy. He hates that name, and

00:54:27.619 --> 00:54:30.420
that's why he goes by DK. So nobody knows how

00:54:30.420 --> 00:54:33.059
to get under his skin. He did. So on last week's

00:54:33.059 --> 00:54:35.619
podcast, we used his name over and over and over.

00:54:35.719 --> 00:54:37.599
We're hoping he shows up and tries to punch us.

00:54:37.599 --> 00:54:40.980
I need the money. I do a podcast. Is that guy

00:54:40.980 --> 00:54:43.719
going to get paid? Yes. Yeah, I think so. Because

00:54:43.719 --> 00:54:46.539
you know he is. He didn't hurt him physically,

00:54:46.719 --> 00:54:49.519
obviously, but he's going to go, man, I haven't

00:54:49.519 --> 00:54:52.019
been able to sleep since then. My mind's messed

00:54:52.019 --> 00:54:55.820
up. I keep reliving it. PTSD. Yes. It's real.

00:54:56.019 --> 00:54:59.260
Yeah. Yes, it is. And that guy, you know, the

00:54:59.260 --> 00:55:01.900
lawyer's going to tell him right now, yeah, here's

00:55:01.900 --> 00:55:03.900
what you say. Here's what you do. Here's how

00:55:03.900 --> 00:55:06.840
you act. Yeah, that guy's getting paid just for

00:55:06.840 --> 00:55:09.869
saying, what was the name again? DeKalen Zacharias

00:55:09.869 --> 00:55:13.250
Metcalf. DeKalen Zacharias Metcalf. Metcalf.

00:55:13.349 --> 00:55:17.010
Metcalf. I just love knowing that he hates it.

00:55:17.030 --> 00:55:18.989
I personally like the name. Yeah, I mean. What's

00:55:18.989 --> 00:55:20.849
wrong with DeKalen? There's nothing wrong with

00:55:20.849 --> 00:55:23.409
it. What's wrong with Zacharias? Zacharias. Yeah.

00:55:23.510 --> 00:55:25.650
He didn't have nothing to do with it. No, you're

00:55:25.650 --> 00:55:28.710
right. Exactly. And he's rich enough he can change

00:55:28.710 --> 00:55:31.389
his name if he wants to. He can call himself

00:55:31.389 --> 00:55:34.289
David Kevin if he wants. Yeah. Keep the same

00:55:34.289 --> 00:55:38.539
initials. My son is 88 in case of Kevin. I changed

00:55:38.539 --> 00:55:42.380
his name after my son passed, and all mine. But

00:55:42.380 --> 00:55:44.340
he doesn't get any of my military benefits because

00:55:44.340 --> 00:55:47.199
I named him one way, and he changed his name

00:55:47.199 --> 00:55:51.400
another way. But what does he care? He's 88.

00:55:52.219 --> 00:55:55.239
Okay. Let's get back to football. Oh, okay. All

00:55:55.239 --> 00:55:57.159
right. Well, thank you for your service. Yeah,

00:55:57.159 --> 00:55:59.980
thank you. Hey, guys, I've got to catch the bus

00:55:59.980 --> 00:56:02.920
back out here to Salvation Army. Have a good

00:56:02.920 --> 00:56:06.989
rest of your day. I'm going to. Leavenworth.

00:56:07.050 --> 00:56:09.710
Not the prison. No, no, no. Not the town. Just

00:56:09.710 --> 00:56:14.070
the town. A good friend of mine, he passed away

00:56:14.070 --> 00:56:15.829
since, but I used to take him up there all the

00:56:15.829 --> 00:56:18.530
time to the VA. The domiciliary, yes. That's

00:56:18.530 --> 00:56:20.849
where I'm going for 90 days. Oh, good. I haven't

00:56:20.849 --> 00:56:23.630
got my life black. I came black in reality. I've

00:56:23.630 --> 00:56:26.329
got a second chance at life. Good. Good for you,

00:56:26.349 --> 00:56:28.889
man. Hey, y 'all out there, listen to these guys.

00:56:28.949 --> 00:56:30.349
They know what they're talking about. I appreciate

00:56:30.349 --> 00:56:32.130
it. What's your name, if you want to say? Armstrong.

00:56:33.349 --> 00:56:36.590
Robert. Alright. Good man here. God bless you.

00:56:37.190 --> 00:56:41.170
Happy New Year everyone. Great talking to you.

00:56:42.150 --> 00:56:45.550
That's why we come here. That's so awesome. People

00:56:45.550 --> 00:56:48.929
have so many stories that no one will ever know

00:56:48.929 --> 00:56:52.429
unless you tap into them. That guy is as nice

00:56:52.429 --> 00:56:55.969
as they get. And also he served our country.

00:56:56.150 --> 00:56:58.809
I liked his necklace. It was like a razor blade

00:56:58.809 --> 00:57:02.840
with a cross on it. It was pretty cool. All right,

00:57:02.860 --> 00:57:06.360
last possible spot for Joe Burrow. The only one

00:57:06.360 --> 00:57:10.320
in the NFC, Arizona Cardinals. I don't see him

00:57:10.320 --> 00:57:12.519
going there because it's Arizona Cardinals. Yeah,

00:57:12.579 --> 00:57:14.199
they're not a complete team yet, and I don't

00:57:14.199 --> 00:57:15.820
think he's going anywhere that's an incomplete

00:57:15.820 --> 00:57:18.199
team. Can you think of one good thing they've

00:57:18.199 --> 00:57:23.579
done in the last five years? No. No. No. They've

00:57:23.579 --> 00:57:25.380
been a bunch of screw -ups. They had that one

00:57:25.380 --> 00:57:27.920
run at the Super Bowl and lost to Pittsburgh.

00:57:28.480 --> 00:57:33.050
Yeah, that wasn't even Murray. That was Warner.

00:57:33.250 --> 00:57:35.030
That was quite a while ago. Yeah, that was Kurt

00:57:35.030 --> 00:57:37.710
Warner. Yeah. And I've got to give them credit.

00:57:37.750 --> 00:57:41.309
They almost won. Yeah. They almost won. And that

00:57:41.309 --> 00:57:44.429
was Bruce Arian's offensive coordinator, wasn't

00:57:44.429 --> 00:57:47.630
it? Oh, yeah. He might have been defensive. I

00:57:47.630 --> 00:57:50.630
forget which he did. Yeah. Yeah, that's how Bruce

00:57:50.630 --> 00:57:52.889
Arian's got a lot of notoriety, because of how

00:57:52.889 --> 00:57:58.570
he helped bring that team up. Yeah. So... It's

00:57:58.570 --> 00:58:00.769
an interesting idea to see him... possibly go

00:58:00.769 --> 00:58:05.110
to any of those teams. Oh, I know. Another reason

00:58:05.110 --> 00:58:10.530
to leave is that Cincinnati is historically very

00:58:10.530 --> 00:58:13.889
stingy with their money. And since he's got the

00:58:13.889 --> 00:58:15.769
contract, wherever he goes, they'll have to pay

00:58:15.769 --> 00:58:19.610
him. But opportunities for more money are more

00:58:19.610 --> 00:58:22.170
likely anywhere but Cincinnati. Yeah, that's

00:58:22.170 --> 00:58:24.030
what's good to say is they're so notoriously

00:58:24.030 --> 00:58:28.420
cheap. And also, another thing is... They're

00:58:28.420 --> 00:58:31.239
salary cap bound anyhow. I mean, the contract

00:58:31.239 --> 00:58:34.460
that he's under and how they have to pay everybody

00:58:34.460 --> 00:58:37.440
around him like Hendrickson, Chase, Higgins,

00:58:37.639 --> 00:58:40.380
offensive lineman. They have to pay these guys

00:58:40.380 --> 00:58:43.239
so much money that they are restricted by salary

00:58:43.239 --> 00:58:46.539
cap anyhow. Yeah. So he could possibly go somewhere

00:58:46.539 --> 00:58:49.760
else and walk into a much better situation. Yeah.

00:58:50.579 --> 00:58:52.780
And a team that has more money to spend once

00:58:52.780 --> 00:58:55.599
he gets there. Yeah. And also, another wild card

00:58:55.599 --> 00:58:57.880
is, does he believe in Zach Taylor at this time?

00:58:58.960 --> 00:59:03.039
That's a good question, whether he has faith

00:59:03.039 --> 00:59:06.579
in his coach. I don't know. I don't think he's

00:59:06.579 --> 00:59:08.360
ever said anything about that. I don't think

00:59:08.360 --> 00:59:10.079
so either. Yeah, he's talked about his fellow

00:59:10.079 --> 00:59:13.639
players quite a bit. He's thrown a few of them

00:59:13.639 --> 00:59:19.250
under the bus. Yeah, yeah, no, he's really good

00:59:19.250 --> 00:59:21.909
at throwing players under the bus. Yeah. So that

00:59:21.909 --> 00:59:25.010
is one, I mean, as much talent as he had, to

00:59:25.010 --> 00:59:30.070
me, that's not a preferred quarterback. I think

00:59:30.070 --> 00:59:33.530
that causes division. It doesn't cause people

00:59:33.530 --> 00:59:39.630
gelling together. Yeah. Anyhow. Titans are looking

00:59:39.630 --> 00:59:43.690
for a head coach. Matt Nagy, supposedly. That's

00:59:43.690 --> 00:59:45.849
first on the list. They're expected to interview

00:59:45.849 --> 00:59:48.269
Chiefs Offensive Coordinator Matt Nagy. Good.

00:59:49.429 --> 00:59:53.250
They're expected to interview former Dallas head

00:59:53.250 --> 00:59:56.369
coach Mike McCarthy. McCarthy will probably get

00:59:56.369 --> 01:00:00.750
in on that. Packers Defensive Coordinator Jeff

01:00:00.750 --> 01:00:05.409
Halfley. Oh, no, after that last game. I don't

01:00:05.409 --> 01:00:08.780
know. Rams defensive coordinator, Chris Shula.

01:00:09.059 --> 01:00:11.199
That would be a good pick. That would probably

01:00:11.199 --> 01:00:14.400
be a good pick. And Shula, the name Shula. Yeah.

01:00:15.059 --> 01:00:18.480
Long line. Chargers defensive coordinator, Jesse

01:00:18.480 --> 01:00:21.280
Minter. Chargers have a good defense. Yes, they

01:00:21.280 --> 01:00:23.800
do. They have a really, really, really hard hitting

01:00:23.800 --> 01:00:26.739
defense. Out of all the names, to me, that one

01:00:26.739 --> 01:00:31.760
sounds the most attractive. Yeah. But the Titans

01:00:31.760 --> 01:00:38.139
owner, Amy Adams Strunk. has not developed the

01:00:38.139 --> 01:00:40.480
best reputation in hiring circles after firing

01:00:40.480 --> 01:00:43.500
a winning general manager in John Robinson, a

01:00:43.500 --> 01:00:47.480
winning head coach in Mike Mrabel, the next GM

01:00:47.480 --> 01:00:50.980
after only two years, Rand Carthon, a head coach

01:00:50.980 --> 01:00:54.559
after 23 games, Callahan, and putting together

01:00:54.559 --> 01:00:57.500
an initially confusing front office setup, all

01:00:57.500 --> 01:01:00.239
while rarely speaking publicly and never taking

01:01:00.239 --> 01:01:02.900
questions from independent media. Only their

01:01:02.900 --> 01:01:07.769
homegrown... Bengals -owned reporters. I mean,

01:01:07.789 --> 01:01:10.489
like, remember Mike Bob Gretz in Kansas City?

01:01:10.630 --> 01:01:13.750
Carl Peterson owned him, and he never said anything

01:01:13.750 --> 01:01:15.849
that the Chiefs didn't tell him to say. That's

01:01:15.849 --> 01:01:18.030
basically what Cincinnati's done, is they only

01:01:18.030 --> 01:01:21.110
talk to the reporters that they pay. Bob Gretz

01:01:21.110 --> 01:01:23.550
became a clown around Kansas City because of

01:01:23.550 --> 01:01:26.550
that, you know. With the thing, you know, a less

01:01:26.550 --> 01:01:30.269
involved owner. might be more attractive to some

01:01:30.269 --> 01:01:32.269
of these candidates. I mean, if they go to Cincinnati,

01:01:32.429 --> 01:01:35.289
they know Amy Adams Strunk is going to be in

01:01:35.289 --> 01:01:38.590
there trying to be a Jerry Jones kind of owner.

01:01:38.829 --> 01:01:42.909
I don't see that being a preferred job to me.

01:01:43.329 --> 01:01:46.869
But Mike Drable, boy, doesn't that speak for

01:01:46.869 --> 01:01:50.469
– I mean, he gets let go. He goes over there

01:01:50.469 --> 01:01:54.389
and they are in contention for the home field.

01:01:54.630 --> 01:01:58.610
Yeah, yeah. kind of Buffalo's letting them stay

01:01:58.610 --> 01:02:00.809
in contention for the number one seed. Yeah.

01:02:02.369 --> 01:02:05.329
All right. I got a bunch of bullet points, or

01:02:05.329 --> 01:02:07.150
we can keep going with your stuff. You got some

01:02:07.150 --> 01:02:10.989
stuff. Go ahead. Two more pages, actually. Oh,

01:02:10.989 --> 01:02:13.190
okay. No, go ahead. And then whenever you're

01:02:13.190 --> 01:02:17.769
tired of doing it, just – Okay. Okay. Rumors

01:02:17.769 --> 01:02:20.409
are the Bears are bracing for a potential raiding

01:02:20.409 --> 01:02:23.230
of their coaching staff this winter, which would

01:02:23.230 --> 01:02:29.639
make sense. A number of the people are saying

01:02:29.639 --> 01:02:33.780
that Dan Campbell is going to go back and raid

01:02:33.780 --> 01:02:36.000
the Bears the way they raided him last year.

01:02:36.820 --> 01:02:40.599
Oh, yeah? Who is he looking at? Several coordinator

01:02:40.599 --> 01:02:42.780
candidates who are on the staff. Offensive coordinator,

01:02:43.019 --> 01:02:46.820
Declan Doyle. He doesn't call plays, but he's

01:02:46.820 --> 01:02:49.119
been under Johnson's tutelage all season long

01:02:49.119 --> 01:02:53.679
and hasn't yet turned 30. They could block teams

01:02:53.679 --> 01:02:56.780
from interviewing him. because they've got the

01:02:56.780 --> 01:02:58.739
rights to them. Yeah, that's true. And I look

01:02:58.739 --> 01:03:01.380
for them to do that probably. Other than Doyle,

01:03:01.440 --> 01:03:05.019
Press Taylor has been revitalized in Chicago

01:03:05.019 --> 01:03:07.840
as the past game coordinator. His first major

01:03:07.840 --> 01:03:10.039
offensive role without Doug Peterson as the head

01:03:10.039 --> 01:03:13.619
coach. J .T. Barrett, the former Ohio State quarterback,

01:03:13.820 --> 01:03:15.679
has been working his way up the coaching ladder

01:03:15.679 --> 01:03:19.739
the past few years. And the Bears quarterback's

01:03:19.739 --> 01:03:21.820
coach will likely get the offensive coordinator

01:03:21.820 --> 01:03:26.170
interviews. And then last but not least on offense

01:03:26.170 --> 01:03:29.909
is running backs coach Eric Biennemi. Two -time

01:03:29.909 --> 01:03:31.849
Super Bowl -winning offensive coordinator saw

01:03:31.849 --> 01:03:35.090
a brief career decline when he left Kansas City.

01:03:35.690 --> 01:03:38.570
The matches didn't work with commanders in 2023

01:03:38.570 --> 01:03:43.230
or UCLA last year. But this year, leading the

01:03:43.230 --> 01:03:45.630
running backs for Chicago, Biennemi has a backfield

01:03:45.630 --> 01:03:51.500
of DeAndre Swift and Kyle Menongi. that is already

01:03:51.500 --> 01:03:54.800
combined for more than 2 ,100 yards of scrimmage.

01:03:56.000 --> 01:04:00.019
So that might give him off a head coach juice

01:04:00.019 --> 01:04:05.119
just for some playful people. The league is expecting

01:04:05.119 --> 01:04:07.659
Dan Campbell to be in the market for a new offensive

01:04:07.659 --> 01:04:11.880
coordinator this year and possibly pull the offensive

01:04:11.880 --> 01:04:17.559
coordinator from Chicago. after Johnson took

01:04:17.559 --> 01:04:19.860
flight last year. So their offensive coordinator

01:04:19.860 --> 01:04:25.079
is... I just mentioned him. Yeah, it's the young

01:04:25.079 --> 01:04:29.300
guy, Declan Doyle. Declan Doyle, yeah. Now, the

01:04:29.300 --> 01:04:32.739
downside of blocking members of the staff from

01:04:32.739 --> 01:04:35.579
interviewing is... They think you're trying to

01:04:35.579 --> 01:04:38.380
squelch their career. Yeah, and that's the problem

01:04:38.380 --> 01:04:43.039
right there. That will discourage other prominent

01:04:43.039 --> 01:04:44.880
people from coming there because they're like,

01:04:44.900 --> 01:04:46.500
well, they'll block you from getting a better

01:04:46.500 --> 01:04:52.980
job. And then they talk about Al Harris, the

01:04:52.980 --> 01:04:55.539
defensive backs coach and defensive passing game

01:04:55.539 --> 01:04:58.219
coordinator. He has overseen a year responsible

01:04:58.219 --> 01:05:01.480
for a league -leading 21 interceptions in Chicago.

01:05:02.159 --> 01:05:05.340
Wow. A coach in the past 13 years, he was previously

01:05:05.340 --> 01:05:08.000
with the Cowboys. In his final four years in

01:05:08.000 --> 01:05:10.619
Dallas, the Cowboys had the most interceptions

01:05:10.619 --> 01:05:14.099
in the league with 72 in those four years. Wow.

01:05:14.199 --> 01:05:17.019
He had Trayvon Diggs and Deron Bland as first

01:05:17.019 --> 01:05:19.639
-team all -pros. You know how the Dallas Cowboys

01:05:19.639 --> 01:05:23.199
are doing now with him gone? Second -to -fewest

01:05:23.199 --> 01:05:25.360
interceptions in the league this season. With

01:05:25.360 --> 01:05:28.099
him being gone? With him being gone. They dropped

01:05:28.099 --> 01:05:31.860
from the most in a four -year span. to the second

01:05:31.860 --> 01:05:35.900
fewest with him gone. So the dude can coach people

01:05:35.900 --> 01:05:39.039
how to pick the ball off. Yeah, yes. So that's

01:05:39.039 --> 01:05:41.719
going to be a big thing. I mean, that's what

01:05:41.719 --> 01:05:44.059
I would look for. That wins games, especially

01:05:44.059 --> 01:05:52.239
when you don't have a superior team. Yeah. Here's

01:05:52.239 --> 01:05:56.719
an interesting topic about stadiums. Uh -huh.

01:05:58.650 --> 01:06:01.530
comparing how the stadium situation was 10 years

01:06:01.530 --> 01:06:04.570
ago and then looking ahead 10 years from now

01:06:04.570 --> 01:06:08.269
and how it's going to be. Okay, 10 years ago,

01:06:08.429 --> 01:06:14.750
Missouri has the Rams and the Chiefs. Illinois

01:06:14.750 --> 01:06:20.389
has the Bears. No NFL teams in Los Angeles. And

01:06:20.389 --> 01:06:23.050
only eight teams play their games under a roof.

01:06:24.250 --> 01:06:27.900
Wow. That was in 2015. Uh -huh. Now let's jump

01:06:27.900 --> 01:06:31.599
ahead to December 27th of 2035. That's just 10

01:06:31.599 --> 01:06:34.739
years ago. Yeah, and now 10 years from now, Missouri

01:06:34.739 --> 01:06:39.320
has no NFL teams. Indiana has two teams, the

01:06:39.320 --> 01:06:43.400
Colts and the Bears. Two teams now play in L

01:06:43.400 --> 01:06:49.480
.A., and 18 teams now play under a roof. Wow.

01:06:49.719 --> 01:06:55.980
Yeah. That's how stadiums are going. And the

01:06:55.980 --> 01:06:59.860
state of New York still only has one team. Yeah,

01:06:59.860 --> 01:07:02.280
because New Jersey, Meadowlands. Yep, yep. They

01:07:02.280 --> 01:07:04.059
have the Buffalo Bills, and that's it. Yeah,

01:07:04.139 --> 01:07:06.579
the two teams that people think they have, they

01:07:06.579 --> 01:07:09.440
actually play in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

01:07:09.440 --> 01:07:12.079
New Jersey, yep. They don't play in New York.

01:07:12.769 --> 01:07:14.969
Their facilities aren't in New York. Everything

01:07:14.969 --> 01:07:17.710
they do is in New Jersey, but they use the New

01:07:17.710 --> 01:07:20.050
York name because it gets them more juicy. I

01:07:20.050 --> 01:07:22.469
wish they would just go to New Jersey both. That

01:07:22.469 --> 01:07:25.030
would be funnier now. I think that at least the

01:07:25.030 --> 01:07:28.650
Jets should. Yeah. Well, I mean, New York probably

01:07:28.650 --> 01:07:30.389
ought to want to give them away by this point.

01:07:30.449 --> 01:07:34.269
Okay, Jersey, you can have the Jets. The Giants

01:07:34.269 --> 01:07:38.360
might be salvageable, but Jets, no. All right,

01:07:38.380 --> 01:07:40.940
and then the last thing I have. Joe Namath is

01:07:40.940 --> 01:07:42.920
even dead. He's already turned it over in his

01:07:42.920 --> 01:07:46.880
grave. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. Last thing I

01:07:46.880 --> 01:07:53.619
have is, thankfully, NFL rules say that in the

01:07:53.619 --> 01:07:55.840
postseason, all the way through the postseason,

01:07:56.079 --> 01:07:59.280
no alternate uniforms, no throwback uniforms.

01:07:59.960 --> 01:08:03.099
Really? That's always been the case. In the playoffs,

01:08:03.360 --> 01:08:07.599
they want teams to look the way they look. instead

01:08:07.599 --> 01:08:10.179
of those ridiculous ugly barber pole uniforms.

01:08:10.179 --> 01:08:13.460
I agree with that. Who has those? The Broncos,

01:08:13.840 --> 01:08:16.840
the Packers, and the Steelers all have throwback

01:08:16.840 --> 01:08:19.939
uniforms with barber pole strikes. Yes. Ugly

01:08:19.939 --> 01:08:22.319
as hell. Fucking ugly. So glad that they don't

01:08:22.319 --> 01:08:24.020
allow that during the playoffs. And then you

01:08:24.020 --> 01:08:26.520
have the teams like, well, Denver just did it,

01:08:26.539 --> 01:08:28.939
the black and white image, the negative image,

01:08:29.039 --> 01:08:31.039
and so does Cincinnati, and there's another team

01:08:31.039 --> 01:08:33.960
that does it. Detroit wears black at home with

01:08:33.960 --> 01:08:38.140
darker helmets. Cincinnati has their whiteout,

01:08:38.220 --> 01:08:41.659
where it's just black and white uniforms. Appropriate

01:08:41.659 --> 01:08:44.840
for that city. All the racial trouble they have

01:08:44.840 --> 01:08:49.659
there. Allegedly. Allegedly. So that's about

01:08:49.659 --> 01:08:52.399
all I got for the end of the day. Well, I have

01:08:52.399 --> 01:08:55.340
a bunch, a bunch of bullet points. Oh, I love

01:08:55.340 --> 01:08:58.380
bullet points. Oh, good. It's not all football

01:08:58.380 --> 01:08:59.979
either. I got some other stuff here. Excellent.

01:09:00.800 --> 01:09:04.720
Where should the Royals move to? Your opinion.

01:09:05.140 --> 01:09:10.710
Oh. I'm for Washington Square just because...

01:09:10.710 --> 01:09:13.069
I think downtown's the choice. Baseball is built

01:09:13.069 --> 01:09:16.609
for the downtown experience. Next to Crown Center,

01:09:16.850 --> 01:09:19.729
people will stay at the West End. They'll stay

01:09:19.729 --> 01:09:22.250
at the Hyatt, Wells Sheridan right next door.

01:09:23.529 --> 01:09:26.449
There's plenty of other places up there. So what

01:09:26.449 --> 01:09:28.170
I'm talking about is people coming in from other

01:09:28.170 --> 01:09:30.810
states. They've got plenty of places there to

01:09:30.810 --> 01:09:33.590
stay. There's all kinds of hotel space now. A

01:09:33.590 --> 01:09:35.750
lot of stuff in walking distance. There's cabs,

01:09:35.750 --> 01:09:39.060
there's streetcars, there's... uber it will read

01:09:39.060 --> 01:09:41.479
i mean the the area is not doing too bad right

01:09:41.479 --> 01:09:44.300
now but it will do so much better with the ballpark

01:09:44.300 --> 01:09:46.359
there they can make it like st louis where it's

01:09:46.359 --> 01:09:48.439
like you got royals laying all the way around

01:09:48.439 --> 01:09:51.220
there you got bars specific to the royals you

01:09:51.220 --> 01:09:54.140
have restaurants specific to the royals i think

01:09:54.140 --> 01:09:56.760
that downtown is a perfect place to put it and

01:09:56.760 --> 01:09:59.300
i'm glad that leeward mayor denied it because

01:09:59.300 --> 01:10:01.239
that is the worst place i think they could yeah

01:10:01.239 --> 01:10:05.420
yeah I could see, here's what I envisioned for

01:10:05.420 --> 01:10:08.140
the Royals. They move downtown, they build a

01:10:08.140 --> 01:10:11.079
stadium that holds somewhere between 12 ,000

01:10:11.079 --> 01:10:12.800
and 15 ,000 people. Yeah, they don't need as

01:10:12.800 --> 01:10:16.130
many seats as they have now. Have a lot of luxury

01:10:16.130 --> 01:10:18.609
boxes for all the downtown businesses to buy.

01:10:18.609 --> 01:10:20.010
Well, that's what happens to the other seats.

01:10:20.050 --> 01:10:22.329
You get luxury boxes and a little more revenue,

01:10:22.390 --> 01:10:25.750
which is very much more important. Very important

01:10:25.750 --> 01:10:29.270
to our being here. So much more than football.

01:10:29.409 --> 01:10:31.409
Football doesn't matter because it's all put

01:10:31.409 --> 01:10:34.369
in a pot. Baseball's not like that. No, there's

01:10:34.369 --> 01:10:37.810
no revenue sharing. No, so any revenue the Royals

01:10:37.810 --> 01:10:40.010
can get on their own, like luxury boxes, is only

01:10:40.010 --> 01:10:42.170
going to be beneficial to us having a winning

01:10:42.170 --> 01:10:47.960
team. More often. And I could see them, even

01:10:47.960 --> 01:10:50.819
with a stadium capacity of 12 ,000 to 15 ,000,

01:10:50.880 --> 01:10:55.220
only have parking for about 5 ,000 and charge

01:10:55.220 --> 01:10:57.699
out the ass. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. If you want

01:10:57.699 --> 01:11:00.140
one right next to there and an escape route right

01:11:00.140 --> 01:11:02.220
down to Bruce Watkins or whatever, you know,

01:11:02.220 --> 01:11:05.920
there you go. You know, extremely expensive parking

01:11:05.920 --> 01:11:09.180
to get everyone to use either public transport

01:11:09.180 --> 01:11:12.220
or you can have satellite parking lots with shuttle

01:11:12.220 --> 01:11:15.699
services. And then you load them up with advertising.

01:11:16.060 --> 01:11:17.979
Yeah, I mean, like where we're at right now.

01:11:18.000 --> 01:11:20.300
Yeah, like have a satellite parking lot here,

01:11:20.460 --> 01:11:22.779
and then the shuttle bus comes, and the entire

01:11:22.779 --> 01:11:25.060
shuttle bus on the inside is all advertising,

01:11:25.220 --> 01:11:27.899
and there's screens playing advertising the whole

01:11:27.899 --> 01:11:29.699
time you're being taken down to the stadium.

01:11:30.500 --> 01:11:33.939
So the shuttle service will more than pay for

01:11:33.939 --> 01:11:35.760
itself with advertising revenue. And once they

01:11:35.760 --> 01:11:37.640
build that parking structure here that they're

01:11:37.640 --> 01:11:39.680
talking about, the huge, like, 10 -story one?

01:11:39.880 --> 01:11:42.560
Yeah. You have your parking sold with shuttles.

01:11:42.720 --> 01:11:45.460
Yeah. So it would be an all -day thing. I mean,

01:11:45.479 --> 01:11:46.939
let's say, all right, you get here in the morning.

01:11:46.979 --> 01:11:49.420
The game's not until 3 or 4, okay? Uh -huh. Maybe

01:11:49.420 --> 01:11:52.159
even 7. You get here in the morning. You start

01:11:52.159 --> 01:11:53.880
your way down here at the City Market. You go

01:11:53.880 --> 01:11:56.119
around, get some stuff, get some donuts and coffee

01:11:56.119 --> 01:11:58.560
for probably right here at City Market Coffee,

01:11:58.760 --> 01:12:01.739
best coffee house in the world. You bet. So you

01:12:01.739 --> 01:12:05.300
get your stuff from here and start heading downtown.

01:12:06.340 --> 01:12:08.800
Or you stay around here to get, I don't know.

01:12:09.659 --> 01:12:11.539
A different breakfast. Maybe you get coffee here.

01:12:11.579 --> 01:12:13.960
You go get breakfast somewhere around here. You

01:12:13.960 --> 01:12:16.720
get on the shuttle. You stop halfway in the middle.

01:12:16.779 --> 01:12:19.560
You go check out some bars, some places. And

01:12:19.560 --> 01:12:21.159
then you finally work your way all the way to

01:12:21.159 --> 01:12:26.079
downtown. And there's also going to be the opportunity

01:12:26.079 --> 01:12:32.119
for people to come play hooky from work. And

01:12:32.119 --> 01:12:34.260
come in the middle of the day because, hey, there's

01:12:34.260 --> 01:12:36.600
a ball game down there. Let's go check it out.

01:12:37.250 --> 01:12:39.970
and it will have an opportunity. People can leave

01:12:39.970 --> 01:12:44.350
work or go to their extended five -martini lunch

01:12:44.350 --> 01:12:46.350
or whatever. That's a great point. And instead

01:12:46.350 --> 01:12:48.710
of going back to work, head down to the ballpark

01:12:48.710 --> 01:12:50.649
and just catch the rest of the game and find

01:12:50.649 --> 01:12:52.770
your way back to work. That is so much easier

01:12:52.770 --> 01:12:56.710
to do downtown than anywhere else. Your wife

01:12:56.710 --> 01:12:59.270
is amazing. Oh, yeah. We forgot to mention this

01:12:59.270 --> 01:13:03.729
podcast was catered by Cindy. So, good foods.

01:13:04.229 --> 01:13:08.779
Real good. Yeah. Okay, so we both agree. Yeah,

01:13:08.819 --> 01:13:12.579
I think downtown is... Overland Park, maybe,

01:13:12.840 --> 01:13:16.340
but I think it's just going to be a traffic mess

01:13:16.340 --> 01:13:21.720
there. Yeah, to me that's too suburban for something

01:13:21.720 --> 01:13:24.579
like baseball. Yeah, baseball doesn't seem to

01:13:24.579 --> 01:13:27.720
do quite as well in suburban settings. No. They

01:13:27.720 --> 01:13:31.159
really don't. Just the fact there's so many games,

01:13:31.319 --> 01:13:33.619
you don't go to every one. You go to a few here,

01:13:33.720 --> 01:13:35.739
a few there, and if they're handy to where you

01:13:35.739 --> 01:13:40.039
work, or even if it's not a work day, you know

01:13:40.039 --> 01:13:43.539
the area, if it's handy, go. So baseball needs

01:13:43.539 --> 01:13:47.859
propped up like that. Yeah. So, well, I mean,

01:13:47.859 --> 01:13:50.840
even football does. That's another big reason

01:13:50.840 --> 01:13:54.220
they're moving. Yeah. All right. Where do the

01:13:54.220 --> 01:13:56.260
Royals move to? Will that help determine their

01:13:56.260 --> 01:14:00.260
future success? Yeah, I believe so. It's one

01:14:00.260 --> 01:14:01.800
of those things I think they've got to get it

01:14:01.800 --> 01:14:04.180
right because I don't think the Royals are going

01:14:04.180 --> 01:14:06.340
to be able to move within the city of Kansas

01:14:06.340 --> 01:14:09.380
City ever again. No, I agree. This is it. If

01:14:09.380 --> 01:14:10.699
they're going to move again, they're leaving

01:14:10.699 --> 01:14:15.060
town. I think the city, the state, the county,

01:14:15.159 --> 01:14:17.699
and the Royals all kind of agree on that. It's

01:14:17.699 --> 01:14:19.760
like, let's get the best deal possible because

01:14:19.760 --> 01:14:22.989
next time we're just out. They need to keep working

01:14:22.989 --> 01:14:24.710
on it, and they need to come up with a resolution

01:14:24.710 --> 01:14:26.850
here, because if not, they're going to get stolen.

01:14:27.189 --> 01:14:32.409
Yeah. Are baseball teams really that attractive

01:14:32.409 --> 01:14:34.409
anymore? I guess so, if you don't have anything

01:14:34.409 --> 01:14:38.069
else. You can't get a football team or a basketball

01:14:38.069 --> 01:14:41.930
team. Yeah. Hockey, I have no idea how successful

01:14:41.930 --> 01:14:49.609
they are. Okay. Okay. Well, the revenue streams,

01:14:49.810 --> 01:14:52.329
the new ones. Provide better investment percentage

01:14:52.329 --> 01:14:57.489
for player development. Yeah, yeah. You know,

01:14:57.489 --> 01:15:00.909
that's something I think the NFL probably should

01:15:00.909 --> 01:15:03.229
pay more attention to than it appears they are,

01:15:03.289 --> 01:15:07.010
is developing players. I agree, because it doesn't

01:15:07.010 --> 01:15:09.029
look like they're that much concerned. Yeah.

01:15:09.569 --> 01:15:12.789
Now, for as long as I've been alive, the college

01:15:12.789 --> 01:15:15.970
football system has been doing it for them. Yeah.

01:15:16.640 --> 01:15:20.239
but the NFL style of game is different from the

01:15:20.239 --> 01:15:23.199
college style of game. Making that transition

01:15:23.199 --> 01:15:26.460
could be easier if the NFL spent some money,

01:15:26.539 --> 01:15:30.680
like on the UFL league being a minor league for

01:15:30.680 --> 01:15:33.439
the NFL. I would love to see that. The UFL is

01:15:33.439 --> 01:15:36.800
interesting enough, but you go ahead and put

01:15:36.800 --> 01:15:39.140
it as in a minor league, and you're going to

01:15:39.140 --> 01:15:42.020
see these players in the NFL. I would watch that

01:15:42.020 --> 01:15:46.100
religiously. How awesome would it be? To have

01:15:46.100 --> 01:15:48.640
a team send one of their players back down to

01:15:48.640 --> 01:15:51.739
the minors to play football. I would watch that.

01:15:52.439 --> 01:15:54.720
I would too. Imagine Chris Jones being sent down

01:15:54.720 --> 01:15:57.220
to a minor league team. We think we need some

01:15:57.220 --> 01:16:00.739
fine tuning. It would be great to do anyhow.

01:16:00.960 --> 01:16:07.899
Yeah. The buzz, everything. Yeah. How about Wichita

01:16:07.899 --> 01:16:13.029
or Omaha? Yeah. St. Joey, one of these outlying

01:16:13.029 --> 01:16:16.390
areas that has a significant population, Topeka.

01:16:16.649 --> 01:16:23.270
Yeah. Have a UFL team. Jeff City, Joplin. Yeah.

01:16:23.449 --> 01:16:25.670
They're big enough. Yeah, and then you send the

01:16:25.670 --> 01:16:27.510
guys that you need, we'll find you, and you send

01:16:27.510 --> 01:16:30.569
them there. And that will increase the attendance

01:16:30.569 --> 01:16:33.649
for the minor league team. You know, somebody

01:16:33.649 --> 01:16:36.130
down in Joplin who... Can't really afford to

01:16:36.130 --> 01:16:38.289
drive up Kansas City to go see the Chiefs play,

01:16:38.409 --> 01:16:40.350
but a couple of his favorite players get sent

01:16:40.350 --> 01:16:43.710
down to the minors. Now he can go see them. It

01:16:43.710 --> 01:16:45.689
just makes sense to me. I've got the perfect

01:16:45.689 --> 01:16:49.210
spot for him, too. Northwest Arkansas. Bentonville,

01:16:49.390 --> 01:16:52.630
Fayetteville, Springdale area. They want to draw

01:16:52.630 --> 01:16:55.050
from a number of states. Yeah, that whole area

01:16:55.050 --> 01:16:57.090
there has about 800 ,000 people in it, believe

01:16:57.090 --> 01:16:59.430
it or not, now. Yeah. They're approaching a million.

01:17:00.270 --> 01:17:03.229
And they all spend their money at Branson, so

01:17:03.229 --> 01:17:04.750
why not spend it on a football team? Yeah, spend

01:17:04.750 --> 01:17:07.310
it there, yeah. And they didn't go to Branson

01:17:07.310 --> 01:17:09.750
after the game. Well, yeah. Yeah, not that far.

01:17:09.970 --> 01:17:15.069
Yeah. So, okay. All right. Your championship

01:17:15.069 --> 01:17:19.609
predictions for the AFC and NFC, the game, the

01:17:19.609 --> 01:17:22.369
two teams, and who do you think is going to go?

01:17:22.449 --> 01:17:26.090
Who's going to win? Man, I think New England

01:17:26.090 --> 01:17:29.930
is going to be one for the AFC. And the other

01:17:29.930 --> 01:17:33.430
one, I don't know, I kind of waffle between Denver

01:17:33.430 --> 01:17:36.289
and Buffalo. Because neither one of them really

01:17:36.289 --> 01:17:39.770
seems to be full steam ahead at this point. They're

01:17:39.770 --> 01:17:47.510
wobbling. Yeah, okay. My prediction is, I think

01:17:47.510 --> 01:17:51.170
that New England is going to be in the championship

01:17:51.170 --> 01:17:53.210
game, but they may not necessarily win it. And

01:17:53.210 --> 01:17:55.930
the reason I say this is because Mike Vrabel,

01:17:56.439 --> 01:17:58.859
and how smart he is and how he's good at motivating

01:17:58.859 --> 01:18:01.920
the team. I think we can get past the first couple.

01:18:02.539 --> 01:18:04.659
And to me, I think right now the way I'm looking

01:18:04.659 --> 01:18:08.979
at it is it's going to be Denver against New

01:18:08.979 --> 01:18:11.880
England. And I think Denver might pull it off.

01:18:13.939 --> 01:18:19.859
Yeah, I can definitely see that. Yeah. But there's

01:18:19.859 --> 01:18:23.119
so much more to happen until then. Yeah. What

01:18:23.119 --> 01:18:26.369
is your solid blank? Yeah, I'm going to go New

01:18:26.369 --> 01:18:31.729
England -Buffalo. And New England's going to

01:18:31.729 --> 01:18:34.949
win. Almost went that way, too. And that's going

01:18:34.949 --> 01:18:38.630
to force Buffalo to look at themselves and say,

01:18:38.649 --> 01:18:40.289
okay, we spent all this money, developed all

01:18:40.289 --> 01:18:44.750
this talent. Our primary competitors are out

01:18:44.750 --> 01:18:46.989
this season. They've changed the rules twice

01:18:46.989 --> 01:18:50.810
to favor Buffalo. And they still can't get to

01:18:50.810 --> 01:18:52.510
the Super Bowl if they don't make it this year.

01:18:53.390 --> 01:18:57.170
Wow. The Josh Allen blood will be gone. He's

01:18:57.170 --> 01:19:00.010
going to be another Jim Kelly. Yep. Which is

01:19:00.010 --> 01:19:02.350
fine. Jim Kelly, great quarterback, just never

01:19:02.350 --> 01:19:04.189
won anything. It'll be one of those things with

01:19:04.189 --> 01:19:06.550
the memories, but who's next? Yeah. But the only

01:19:06.550 --> 01:19:09.329
thing is Jim Kelly did make it to the Super Bowl

01:19:09.329 --> 01:19:14.649
four times. All right. What team is really close

01:19:14.649 --> 01:19:19.390
to holding down at least a mini -dynasty? Holding

01:19:19.390 --> 01:19:22.829
down a what? A mini -dynasty. What team is the

01:19:22.829 --> 01:19:24.970
closest to holding down right now? I say many

01:19:24.970 --> 01:19:28.069
because nobody has that constant like the Chiefs

01:19:28.069 --> 01:19:33.609
do. I'm going to say the Eagles. Yeah. San Francisco.

01:19:33.710 --> 01:19:37.930
I wouldn't count out Jacksonville. Because they're

01:19:37.930 --> 01:19:39.989
only a couple of players away from being a neat

01:19:39.989 --> 01:19:43.489
team. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They've turned it around

01:19:43.489 --> 01:19:45.829
pretty well in the last couple of seasons. It's

01:19:45.829 --> 01:19:47.569
like they're nothing like they were two years

01:19:47.569 --> 01:19:50.829
ago. No. They're significantly better in a lot

01:19:50.829 --> 01:19:53.649
of ways with the same quarterback, which is a

01:19:53.649 --> 01:19:58.409
really good bonus for them. So I like Jacksonville.

01:19:58.430 --> 01:20:01.670
I like the town. I like the team. I kind of like

01:20:01.670 --> 01:20:03.449
their older uniforms better than their current

01:20:03.449 --> 01:20:08.409
uniforms. I do, too. But, you know, I'd like

01:20:08.409 --> 01:20:21.899
Jacksonville to succeed. Me? really hard. Yeah,

01:20:22.000 --> 01:20:23.939
I'm trying to think of who I would really like

01:20:23.939 --> 01:20:35.100
to... Houston wouldn't be bad. I think they're

01:20:35.100 --> 01:20:37.979
a little farther away. Yeah, you know what? I've

01:20:37.979 --> 01:20:39.880
been thinking about the Texans. I'm going to

01:20:39.880 --> 01:20:42.319
go with the Texans. Oh, okay. I really like their

01:20:42.319 --> 01:20:46.779
coaching staff. Yeah. I think that they need

01:20:46.779 --> 01:20:49.680
to get a quarterback to room. to come in and

01:20:49.680 --> 01:20:52.100
work with Supe Stroud. He has a talent. I've

01:20:52.100 --> 01:20:53.939
seen that guy make some plays that are insane.

01:20:54.300 --> 01:20:56.500
But I've also seen him make some bonehead plays.

01:20:57.159 --> 01:20:59.539
Maybe that's something Brady could do, sell his

01:20:59.539 --> 01:21:02.220
ownership in the Raiders and open up a quarterback

01:21:02.220 --> 01:21:06.239
school. I wish. I want Alex Smith to come back

01:21:06.239 --> 01:21:10.600
and re -tutor Mahomes. Yeah. He's apparently

01:21:10.600 --> 01:21:14.779
forgotten some things. Yeah. Yeah, I would agree.

01:21:15.279 --> 01:21:18.119
Because Mahomes made it work with Les before.

01:21:20.140 --> 01:21:22.600
So something, I mean, besides offensive line.

01:21:22.699 --> 01:21:28.460
So, okay. All right. Should the Chiefs go after

01:21:28.460 --> 01:21:31.279
Kirk Cousins or try to continue to develop Ola

01:21:31.279 --> 01:21:35.859
Duncan? You know, when we drove down here, I

01:21:35.859 --> 01:21:38.279
would have said try to get Kirk Cousins. But

01:21:38.279 --> 01:21:41.619
now. After we talked about it. Yeah, I'm thinking

01:21:41.619 --> 01:21:47.149
let's keep Ola Duncan and get. A veteran quarterback,

01:21:47.449 --> 01:21:50.189
but not quite at Kirk Cousins' level. Because

01:21:50.189 --> 01:21:53.489
you're going to have to pay him. Yeah. If nothing

01:21:53.489 --> 01:21:55.109
else, for his number of years in the league.

01:21:55.229 --> 01:21:57.569
And the fact that he's a quarterback. Yeah, he's

01:21:57.569 --> 01:22:01.810
good at command money either way. But get somebody's

01:22:01.810 --> 01:22:04.890
number two guy who's decent. I mean, right now

01:22:04.890 --> 01:22:09.029
we've got Ola Dogen and Shane Buschel, who we've

01:22:09.029 --> 01:22:11.489
seen in training camp a couple of times. Buschel

01:22:11.489 --> 01:22:15.350
is... Okay. Yeah. I mean, he's not someone you

01:22:15.350 --> 01:22:17.310
want to rely on to win half your games. True,

01:22:17.409 --> 01:22:22.149
true. I'd like to see them getting somebody with

01:22:22.149 --> 01:22:24.710
five or six years' experience at least. Jacoby

01:22:24.710 --> 01:22:27.890
Brissett. Yeah. He would be a perfect fit. If

01:22:27.890 --> 01:22:30.210
he's okay being a backup, you know, starting

01:22:30.210 --> 01:22:32.170
for the first few games while Mahomes is getting

01:22:32.170 --> 01:22:34.649
set, and then being backed up from there, and

01:22:34.649 --> 01:22:37.369
then being partially responsible for working

01:22:37.369 --> 01:22:40.109
with Oladokun. I think that would be great. Yeah,

01:22:40.210 --> 01:22:42.090
I can see that working out pretty well. And if

01:22:42.090 --> 01:22:44.090
it's not working out very well and you're worried

01:22:44.090 --> 01:22:46.010
about lagging, you just throw in Brissette and

01:22:46.010 --> 01:22:49.010
he will win you some games. He will. Yeah. He's

01:22:49.010 --> 01:22:51.229
actually a pretty good quarterback. I mean, he

01:22:51.229 --> 01:22:54.170
is on that cusp of almost being a starter. Yeah.

01:22:54.510 --> 01:23:00.409
So, okay. All right. The Broncos lost badly to

01:23:00.409 --> 01:23:03.630
Jacksonville and won barely just one score to

01:23:03.630 --> 01:23:07.869
the Chiefs backups. Yeah. What was it, a paltry

01:23:07.869 --> 01:23:11.609
80 yards, 70 yards total offense? Yeah, it was

01:23:11.609 --> 01:23:14.590
pretty weak. Yeah, and they still were one score,

01:23:14.810 --> 01:23:18.189
and that's it. And it was a nut -tugger. It was

01:23:18.189 --> 01:23:21.329
not definitive. It was very much a case of the

01:23:21.329 --> 01:23:23.869
Denver Broncos playing down to the level of their

01:23:23.869 --> 01:23:27.109
opponent. Yeah, which goes to their hair. Do

01:23:27.109 --> 01:23:29.630
they have something to worry about? Especially

01:23:29.630 --> 01:23:31.689
since their head coach should be a lot better

01:23:31.689 --> 01:23:34.239
than that. Sean Payton? Yeah, he should know

01:23:34.239 --> 01:23:36.800
better. He should know how to keep his team from

01:23:36.800 --> 01:23:39.899
overlooking someone or playing down to their

01:23:39.899 --> 01:23:41.739
level. It's like they should have gone in and

01:23:41.739 --> 01:23:43.779
said, we're going to destroy them and we're going

01:23:43.779 --> 01:23:46.100
to stomp them up and down this field and we're

01:23:46.100 --> 01:23:48.119
going to look impressive doing it. But they didn't.

01:23:48.140 --> 01:23:50.819
They came in and looked poor. Oh, I know. Sean

01:23:50.819 --> 01:23:53.340
Payton, that's interesting because he's got that

01:23:53.340 --> 01:23:55.859
defense built up like he did under Greg Williams

01:23:55.859 --> 01:23:58.840
over there in New Orleans. You know, the guy

01:23:58.840 --> 01:24:01.739
that got run out of NFL because of Bounty Day?

01:24:01.859 --> 01:24:06.439
Yeah. That guy? Yeah. This team here is different.

01:24:06.460 --> 01:24:08.520
It seems to me like, yeah, it's got great defense,

01:24:08.600 --> 01:24:10.800
but to me it's more about making the big plays

01:24:10.800 --> 01:24:13.460
when it counts. Yeah. And before we attributed

01:24:13.460 --> 01:24:17.840
that to Drew Brees, you know, that was a Drew

01:24:17.840 --> 01:24:20.340
Brees thing we thought, right? Yeah. Could that

01:24:20.340 --> 01:24:23.479
have maybe been a Sean Payton thing? Talk to

01:24:23.479 --> 01:24:27.739
me. Two threes and the play calling and the mastermind.

01:24:28.159 --> 01:24:32.800
Yeah. So maybe this is the game plan and maybe

01:24:32.800 --> 01:24:37.039
this is the way it goes. Yeah. Well, this will

01:24:37.039 --> 01:24:40.039
be determined, let's see, about one month from

01:24:40.039 --> 01:24:42.340
now. We're going to tell you exactly what these

01:24:42.340 --> 01:24:47.319
teams are going to do. All right. The Texans,

01:24:47.319 --> 01:24:53.489
how good are they? They're 11 -5 right now. I

01:24:53.489 --> 01:24:56.350
think they're pretty much as good as an 11 -5

01:24:56.350 --> 01:25:00.369
team. I think so, too. They're as good as that.

01:25:00.510 --> 01:25:03.250
I don't know how much better. Yeah, I mean, look

01:25:03.250 --> 01:25:05.550
at it realistically. That means they've lost

01:25:05.550 --> 01:25:09.310
a game for every two they've won. Yeah. So that's

01:25:09.310 --> 01:25:11.970
not great. That's not world -beating. But it's

01:25:11.970 --> 01:25:13.850
generally enough to get you into the postseason,

01:25:13.930 --> 01:25:18.250
no problem. And second year in a row. It's actually,

01:25:18.329 --> 01:25:19.930
what, the first three years of their coach's

01:25:19.930 --> 01:25:22.149
career they've done made the playoffs? Playoffs.

01:25:23.010 --> 01:25:25.130
Damn it, I missed that one. Yeah, so they're

01:25:25.130 --> 01:25:28.789
doing well. They do seem to be continuing to

01:25:28.789 --> 01:25:32.229
progress, so I would definitely keep my eye on

01:25:32.229 --> 01:25:34.409
the Texans. That's another team I'd like to see

01:25:34.409 --> 01:25:37.170
really succeed is the Texans. Okay, I think the

01:25:37.170 --> 01:25:42.250
Texans are really close, like you said. Yeah.

01:25:42.329 --> 01:25:44.689
And I think with a little luck, you could see

01:25:44.689 --> 01:25:48.500
them in the Super Bowl. They probably wouldn't

01:25:48.500 --> 01:25:50.800
do much, but they could get there, yeah. I think

01:25:50.800 --> 01:25:52.659
they don't have the experience to really handle

01:25:52.659 --> 01:25:54.560
that kind of game. Here's why I say that. You

01:25:54.560 --> 01:25:58.760
mentioned them against Josh Allen. Wow. Yeah,

01:25:59.100 --> 01:26:01.000
the championship game. The championship game,

01:26:01.079 --> 01:26:03.819
I would love to see that right there. The Texans

01:26:03.819 --> 01:26:07.199
against the Bills. Josh Allen can be put on the

01:26:07.199 --> 01:26:09.380
ground. He definitely can be sat down. See how

01:26:09.380 --> 01:26:13.140
many flops he does. Yeah. Fortunately, he's gotten

01:26:13.140 --> 01:26:14.899
away with that because nobody's buying it. He

01:26:14.899 --> 01:26:16.819
just looks like an idiot. Oh, I know. Have you

01:26:16.819 --> 01:26:19.020
seen the looks on his face? Someone started zooming

01:26:19.020 --> 01:26:22.420
in on the look on his face. It's comical. You

01:26:22.420 --> 01:26:25.840
can tell it's all put on. Yep. And he must have

01:26:25.840 --> 01:26:28.260
taken lessons from the soccer players. Yes. They're

01:26:28.260 --> 01:26:30.680
notorious for flopping. I think that's where

01:26:30.680 --> 01:26:32.819
he got it from. He's like, that guy breathed

01:26:32.819 --> 01:26:36.779
on me. My leg's broken. Yeah, well, it's just

01:26:36.779 --> 01:26:41.420
like the tush bush came from... From rugby. Oh,

01:26:41.520 --> 01:26:43.760
I thought it was from rough gay sex. Well, that

01:26:43.760 --> 01:26:46.539
too. Oh, okay. Well, I mean, you know, all this

01:26:46.539 --> 01:26:49.979
is hyperbole, Nick Sirianni, and offensive linemen.

01:26:50.140 --> 01:26:52.399
Yeah, yeah. I think the Philadelphia version

01:26:52.399 --> 01:26:55.880
came from prison sex. Yes, yes, yes. It's like,

01:26:55.960 --> 01:26:57.840
you know, getting kissed on the forehead when

01:26:57.840 --> 01:27:00.500
you're a child by your parent is love. Getting

01:27:00.500 --> 01:27:03.380
kissed on the forehead in prison is not love.

01:27:03.399 --> 01:27:08.720
No, no. Bad old saying. All right. The Bills.

01:27:10.640 --> 01:27:13.840
Oh, hang on. I dropped the gun here. CJ Stroud

01:27:13.840 --> 01:27:16.220
continues to be inconsistent with interceptions

01:27:16.220 --> 01:27:19.260
and misses to receivers. Will he be good enough

01:27:19.260 --> 01:27:21.279
for that elite defense to make a serious run?

01:27:22.579 --> 01:27:24.140
I'm saying yeah because they have him. Yeah,

01:27:24.140 --> 01:27:27.779
I think so, yeah. As long as you keep him calm

01:27:27.779 --> 01:27:31.220
and keep him within the game plan, he does pretty

01:27:31.220 --> 01:27:33.680
well and he won't get all wild and crazy and

01:27:33.680 --> 01:27:36.739
do stupid things. He doesn't do a Jared Goff

01:27:36.739 --> 01:27:39.140
where he just completely just starts freelancing

01:27:39.140 --> 01:27:43.159
stupid shit. Yeah. Mr. Turnover Machine. Yeah.

01:27:44.020 --> 01:27:46.319
He is much better than that, but I'm with him.

01:27:46.399 --> 01:27:49.140
They need to keep corralling him over and keep

01:27:49.140 --> 01:27:52.039
coaching him up. He's got all the talent in the

01:27:52.039 --> 01:27:55.239
world. I find it disturbing that Caleb Williams

01:27:55.239 --> 01:27:58.279
already surpassed him, and he's got to hear less.

01:27:58.739 --> 01:28:02.000
Yeah, that does seem a little odd. I think if

01:28:02.000 --> 01:28:04.220
C .J. Stroud were in a slightly better atmosphere,

01:28:04.399 --> 01:28:07.880
he'd be substantially more of a game -leading.

01:28:08.270 --> 01:28:10.470
A team -leading quarterback. Well, and also he

01:28:10.470 --> 01:28:13.369
has a defensive -minded coach, too. Yeah. I think

01:28:13.369 --> 01:28:14.890
they need to bring in some really good offensive

01:28:14.890 --> 01:28:17.390
people to work with him. Yeah. You know, so,

01:28:17.510 --> 01:28:21.409
all right. The Bills, are they going to be the

01:28:21.409 --> 01:28:24.869
silent assassin this year? Because if you notice,

01:28:24.970 --> 01:28:26.689
nobody's really talking about them that much.

01:28:26.689 --> 01:28:28.430
Nobody's really, yeah. The new sexy picks that

01:28:28.430 --> 01:28:30.369
have just come up, everyone's focusing on them.

01:28:30.529 --> 01:28:36.380
Yeah. Denver, the Patriots. Jacksonville. Those

01:28:36.380 --> 01:28:39.239
are all the sexy guys. They're brand new to it.

01:28:39.340 --> 01:28:42.779
And everyone's like going, what? They're doing

01:28:42.779 --> 01:28:46.039
that? They did that? It is kind of setting up

01:28:46.039 --> 01:28:47.779
for that, but I really don't think the Bills

01:28:47.779 --> 01:28:50.449
are going to be able to rally. They seem to be

01:28:50.449 --> 01:28:53.210
more comfortable as the team with the swagger.

01:28:53.329 --> 01:28:55.590
You know, Phil's Mafia, we're tough. You know,

01:28:55.630 --> 01:28:58.289
we don't sneak up on you. We just come kick the

01:28:58.289 --> 01:29:00.729
door down and rub your face in it kind of. And

01:29:00.729 --> 01:29:03.189
they really don't seem to have that swagger this

01:29:03.189 --> 01:29:05.909
year. And I don't think it's an act. I don't

01:29:05.909 --> 01:29:07.630
think it's, you know, playing it close to the

01:29:07.630 --> 01:29:09.710
vest. I think they're really all – I think they're

01:29:09.710 --> 01:29:12.329
kind of shook internally. They're kind of questioning,

01:29:12.449 --> 01:29:15.569
not to the extent the Chiefs are, but I think

01:29:15.569 --> 01:29:18.739
it's along the same lines. that the Bills are

01:29:18.739 --> 01:29:21.039
thinking, you know, how in the hell did we get

01:29:21.039 --> 01:29:23.539
into this position to where we're fighting for

01:29:23.539 --> 01:29:26.800
a playoff spot. Playoff spot. And our seeding

01:29:26.800 --> 01:29:28.880
on the last game of the year. They should have

01:29:28.880 --> 01:29:30.439
had this wrapped up by week 13. They should have,

01:29:30.640 --> 01:29:33.079
I agree. And now they've got to play Josh Allen

01:29:33.079 --> 01:29:37.579
more. And also, there's a chance, a good chance,

01:29:37.680 --> 01:29:40.979
at least 50 % chance, that they are going to

01:29:40.979 --> 01:29:43.770
be playing. the first week instead of sitting

01:29:43.770 --> 01:29:46.270
it out. Yeah, unless you're the number one seed,

01:29:46.390 --> 01:29:48.470
you play that first week. Only one team gets

01:29:48.470 --> 01:29:53.770
the bye. Yeah, I'm sure the Bills were looking

01:29:53.770 --> 01:29:56.329
forward to the last game of the season thinking,

01:29:56.529 --> 01:29:58.189
oh, we're going to rest all our starters because

01:29:58.189 --> 01:30:00.590
it won't matter. But it matters. It matters big

01:30:00.590 --> 01:30:02.909
time. Yes, it does. It really does. So they've

01:30:02.909 --> 01:30:04.949
got to play everybody. They've got to really

01:30:04.949 --> 01:30:06.930
game plan. They've got to lay it all on the line.

01:30:06.989 --> 01:30:08.310
And then next week they're going to be playing

01:30:08.310 --> 01:30:11.779
again because they're not getting the bye. That's

01:30:11.779 --> 01:30:14.020
going to be a slightly unusual position for the

01:30:14.020 --> 01:30:15.859
Bills. They're used to the last game of the season

01:30:15.859 --> 01:30:19.760
not meaning a whole bunch. Yeah. Of course, everybody's

01:30:19.760 --> 01:30:21.920
used to the Chiefs being in the postseason, and

01:30:21.920 --> 01:30:24.520
they ain't going to be this year. Well, the ratings

01:30:24.520 --> 01:30:26.420
are going to – it's going to be funny to see

01:30:26.420 --> 01:30:27.880
the ratings because they're going to be down.

01:30:28.140 --> 01:30:31.100
Yeah, I think they will be. The haters on Mahomes

01:30:31.100 --> 01:30:33.420
are a smaller group of people that make the most

01:30:33.420 --> 01:30:36.159
noise. Plus, a lot of them would tune in to try

01:30:36.159 --> 01:30:37.880
– because they're hoping to see Mahomes stink

01:30:37.880 --> 01:30:40.579
the place up. Yeah. So they'll watch too. Yeah,

01:30:40.579 --> 01:30:42.180
the ones that love him watch him and the ones

01:30:42.180 --> 01:30:45.880
that hate him watch him. All right. Just how

01:30:45.880 --> 01:30:49.699
dangerous is Philadelphia? See, I think they're

01:30:49.699 --> 01:30:52.960
very dangerous. Yeah, yeah. Shaquan Barkley gets

01:30:52.960 --> 01:30:56.640
on a roll like he did last year, and it's going

01:30:56.640 --> 01:30:58.520
to be tough to beat him. And I think Philadelphia

01:30:58.520 --> 01:31:00.640
is smart enough to start leaning on him if he

01:31:00.640 --> 01:31:03.300
gets hot. I think they're going to, yeah. I think

01:31:03.300 --> 01:31:05.220
we can already see signs of it. They're starting

01:31:05.220 --> 01:31:08.100
to go back to that. We're going to start seeing

01:31:08.100 --> 01:31:10.560
what he's going to do for a while. And then we're

01:31:10.560 --> 01:31:13.899
going to come back and revisit it a little bit.

01:31:14.199 --> 01:31:16.979
You want Jalen Hurts to stay in the ones. You

01:31:16.979 --> 01:31:18.960
don't want him to go into the twos, though. If

01:31:18.960 --> 01:31:20.899
he goes into the twos, he starts making mistakes.

01:31:21.960 --> 01:31:27.739
Yeah, yeah. And you don't want to burn up too

01:31:27.739 --> 01:31:32.859
much of your energy and enthusiasm and your drive

01:31:32.859 --> 01:31:36.199
in the first game. You want to save that for

01:31:36.199 --> 01:31:38.279
the championship game. I mean, you need to win

01:31:38.279 --> 01:31:40.590
to get there. But you don't want to blow yourself

01:31:40.590 --> 01:31:42.569
out in the first round and then have nothing

01:31:42.569 --> 01:31:44.470
for the next game. Yeah, good point. So they're

01:31:44.470 --> 01:31:46.329
going to hold Hertz back a little bit. They're

01:31:46.329 --> 01:31:48.010
going to hold play calling back a little bit

01:31:48.010 --> 01:31:51.229
and try to do just enough to win. It's probably

01:31:51.229 --> 01:31:54.529
going to work. I think so too. How dangerous

01:31:54.529 --> 01:32:00.170
is San Francisco? You know, I see them as kind

01:32:00.170 --> 01:32:04.229
of the proverbial glass cannon. A cannon will

01:32:04.229 --> 01:32:06.289
blow you away, but if you throw a rock at it,

01:32:06.310 --> 01:32:09.729
it breaks. And I think San Francisco is kind

01:32:09.729 --> 01:32:13.210
of that team. They're not physically weak or

01:32:13.210 --> 01:32:15.430
fragile, but there are some things you can do

01:32:15.430 --> 01:32:17.649
to just completely knock them out of their own

01:32:17.649 --> 01:32:19.970
heads, and they're useless for the rest of the

01:32:19.970 --> 01:32:22.430
game. Because I've seen teams do it. They just

01:32:22.430 --> 01:32:25.010
make San Francisco look stupid. Well, they shut

01:32:25.010 --> 01:32:27.329
down their game plan completely, and San Francisco

01:32:27.329 --> 01:32:30.380
doesn't seem to have an answer. Yeah. I mean,

01:32:30.399 --> 01:32:31.880
look what the Chiefs did to them in the Super

01:32:31.880 --> 01:32:34.140
Bowl. They come out hot. They come out looking

01:32:34.140 --> 01:32:35.920
like a dominant team. And then when it's all

01:32:35.920 --> 01:32:38.319
said and done, it's like they only scored 10

01:32:38.319 --> 01:32:41.380
points. That was a lot of noise for 10 points.

01:32:41.539 --> 01:32:44.500
Yeah, yeah. That was a lot of noise for 13 points.

01:32:44.840 --> 01:32:49.439
Yeah. So, yeah, I'm not sold on San Francisco's

01:32:49.439 --> 01:32:53.810
staying power. Me neither. And they're going

01:32:53.810 --> 01:32:56.409
to go whichever way Brock Purdy goes. Yes. I

01:32:56.409 --> 01:32:58.210
mean, they've got great players on offense and

01:32:58.210 --> 01:33:01.029
defense, but if Brock Purdy isn't on, they ain't

01:33:01.029 --> 01:33:03.789
winning. No. There's no way. They need Brock

01:33:03.789 --> 01:33:07.810
Purdy to be what he was the last couple of years.

01:33:08.010 --> 01:33:10.329
Yeah. It was wonderful when the Chiefs managed

01:33:10.329 --> 01:33:12.689
to win a few games when Mahomes was sidelined

01:33:12.689 --> 01:33:16.630
with injuries. But I don't see the Niners being

01:33:16.630 --> 01:33:19.899
able to quite do that. No, I don't think it's

01:33:19.899 --> 01:33:22.199
there. Not in a postseason retirement. No, no.

01:33:22.760 --> 01:33:25.479
All right. I didn't put this down, but how about

01:33:25.479 --> 01:33:30.560
Seattle? Now, Seattle could be definitely a spoiler,

01:33:30.579 --> 01:33:35.920
if not a dark horse, because they handled the

01:33:35.920 --> 01:33:40.020
Rams okay. They've got a great record. The whole

01:33:40.020 --> 01:33:43.970
thing is Sam Darnley. Yeah. But they seem to

01:33:43.970 --> 01:33:47.489
have him under control really well. That's true.

01:33:47.510 --> 01:33:49.869
They seem to be able to figure out a game plan

01:33:49.869 --> 01:33:52.229
where he doesn't have to do anything he's not

01:33:52.229 --> 01:33:54.470
really capable of doing. It's like, go out and

01:33:54.470 --> 01:33:57.989
be Sam Darnold, and we can make that work. That's

01:33:57.989 --> 01:34:00.250
a pretty good situation. I still think that an

01:34:00.250 --> 01:34:02.029
elite team is going to shut him down, and you're

01:34:02.029 --> 01:34:04.390
going to see an ugly game. It may not be the

01:34:04.390 --> 01:34:06.210
first one. It could be the championship they're

01:34:06.210 --> 01:34:08.069
going to see. But you're going to see an ugly

01:34:08.069 --> 01:34:10.189
game because the team is going to shut down Darnold.

01:34:11.040 --> 01:34:13.420
Yeah, that's a good point. I think when the team

01:34:13.420 --> 01:34:16.319
does figure them out, it's like turning off a

01:34:16.319 --> 01:34:18.020
switch. They're going to score three points.

01:34:18.220 --> 01:34:20.859
Yeah, it's going to turn from a decent -looking,

01:34:21.039 --> 01:34:24.800
high -flying team to a complete dud. Yeah, it's

01:34:24.800 --> 01:34:28.840
not smoke and mirrors, but what it is is they

01:34:28.840 --> 01:34:32.500
can be stopped easily when figured out. They're

01:34:32.500 --> 01:34:34.939
a really good team, but I don't think they're

01:34:34.939 --> 01:34:38.680
necessarily a championship -caliber team. Yeah,

01:34:38.680 --> 01:34:41.340
in engineering terms, they talk about the single

01:34:41.340 --> 01:34:44.500
point of failure. Imagine you've got this super

01:34:44.500 --> 01:34:47.779
expensive jet aircraft, and it's got all sorts

01:34:47.779 --> 01:34:50.020
of features, it flies really fast, great fuel

01:34:50.020 --> 01:34:53.619
economy, but if this one little device back here

01:34:53.619 --> 01:34:55.220
at the end of the plane isn't working, the whole

01:34:55.220 --> 01:34:57.600
plane shuts off, and you just fall out of the

01:34:57.600 --> 01:35:00.340
sky. One single point, if that fails, everything

01:35:00.340 --> 01:35:02.340
fails. That's a good way of describing it. Yeah,

01:35:02.359 --> 01:35:06.779
I can see the Seahawks being that kind of team

01:35:06.779 --> 01:35:09.899
that if Darnold isn't able to make it work, they

01:35:09.899 --> 01:35:13.100
don't have an answer. Yeah, me too. How about

01:35:13.100 --> 01:35:18.020
Chicago? Yeah, I'm looking for Chicago in Philadelphia

01:35:18.020 --> 01:35:20.560
in the NFC Championship game, and I would like

01:35:20.560 --> 01:35:23.640
to see Chicago. I would love to see it. Yeah.

01:35:23.760 --> 01:35:25.579
Love to see it. How about the enemy getting more

01:35:25.579 --> 01:35:27.680
wins in the league? Yeah, that would be funny

01:35:27.680 --> 01:35:30.140
as hell. No, no, no, no. He'd have the same amount.

01:35:30.840 --> 01:35:32.739
Oh, that's right. Yeah. Yeah, because when he

01:35:32.739 --> 01:35:36.659
left, they won one under Nagy. Yeah. Yeah. That

01:35:36.659 --> 01:35:40.239
would be awesome. It would be. It would be. All

01:35:40.239 --> 01:35:45.899
right. How about who is the best all -around

01:35:45.899 --> 01:35:50.640
quarterback in the league right now? Huh. Yeah.

01:35:50.939 --> 01:35:57.979
Well, that's an interesting point. Wow, I'm not

01:35:57.979 --> 01:36:02.800
really sure. Well, the one thing is, it is not

01:36:02.800 --> 01:36:07.279
Josh Allen. No. No. He's looking more and more

01:36:07.279 --> 01:36:09.659
like a one -sided quarterback. I mean, he's good.

01:36:09.699 --> 01:36:13.020
He's really good. But he's still missing some

01:36:13.020 --> 01:36:16.300
key points. New England's quarterback would be

01:36:16.300 --> 01:36:22.590
in the conversation. Drake May. Jalen Hurts maybe.

01:36:23.369 --> 01:36:26.649
Yeah, because of his lack of work that they give

01:36:26.649 --> 01:36:29.229
him. Like I said, he stays in the ones as a great

01:36:29.229 --> 01:36:31.210
quarterback. You start getting him into the twos,

01:36:31.210 --> 01:36:33.289
of course, in the throw line, he makes mistakes.

01:36:37.329 --> 01:36:39.729
Yeah, I'm having trouble thinking of anybody

01:36:39.729 --> 01:36:42.130
else that I really trust on that. Yeah, Caleb

01:36:42.130 --> 01:36:44.689
Williams could be in there. Not Aaron Rodgers,

01:36:44.710 --> 01:36:49.529
too old. I think I'm with you on Drake May. Yeah.

01:36:50.250 --> 01:36:53.029
I mean, if you're starting a team, he's probably

01:36:53.029 --> 01:36:55.149
the guy you'd grab. Yeah. Because you're not

01:36:55.149 --> 01:36:56.710
going to have to pay him a lot. You can pretty

01:36:56.710 --> 01:36:58.770
much do anything. You've got three more years

01:36:58.770 --> 01:37:01.449
of him being cheap, but they'll probably renegotiate,

01:37:01.470 --> 01:37:03.850
I imagine, after this year. Yeah, if he keeps

01:37:03.850 --> 01:37:06.149
playing well, then they won't let him get in

01:37:06.149 --> 01:37:08.470
on us last year. Yeah, and if they don't just,

01:37:08.470 --> 01:37:11.109
like, gut out in the playoffs. Playoffs? Yeah,

01:37:11.210 --> 01:37:13.550
so if they don't just gut out in the playoffs,

01:37:13.609 --> 01:37:15.550
I see them showing out money there going, hey.

01:37:16.250 --> 01:37:18.050
Let's go ahead and get this deal done right now.

01:37:19.050 --> 01:37:21.289
Because then you will have the component that

01:37:21.289 --> 01:37:25.329
nobody else has. Yeah, yeah. When you go to sign

01:37:25.329 --> 01:37:27.909
free agents, you go, hey, look, we got a quarterback

01:37:27.909 --> 01:37:30.430
under a long -term deal. So you know you're going

01:37:30.430 --> 01:37:36.359
to be getting him. What about Bo Nix? He's a

01:37:36.359 --> 01:37:39.340
game manager. Yeah, yeah. I was a little higher

01:37:39.340 --> 01:37:41.920
on Bo Nix earlier in the season, but he's showing

01:37:41.920 --> 01:37:44.800
his inexperience a little bit here and there,

01:37:44.880 --> 01:37:46.899
so he can be rattled. He can be disrupted. I

01:37:46.899 --> 01:37:49.220
don't think he's that upper echelon guy. He's

01:37:49.220 --> 01:37:51.739
like an Alex Smith guy, maybe a little bit better,

01:37:51.779 --> 01:37:54.420
maybe, I don't know. Yeah, probably about the

01:37:54.420 --> 01:37:56.699
same. Yeah, he's never going to be Peyton Manning,

01:37:56.699 --> 01:38:00.779
that's for sure. Mahomes is obviously the best

01:38:00.779 --> 01:38:04.399
with history backing him up. But is there another

01:38:04.399 --> 01:38:06.560
Mahomes -like quarterback working up the ranks?

01:38:08.180 --> 01:38:10.520
C .J. Stroud's looking very impressive. Kayla

01:38:10.520 --> 01:38:13.380
Williams looking very impressive. They're making

01:38:13.380 --> 01:38:15.340
the kind of throws that you see on Mahomes doing

01:38:15.340 --> 01:38:23.000
earlier in his career. Yes. The guy in Carolina.

01:38:23.920 --> 01:38:26.979
Oh, Bryce Young. Yeah. Yeah. I think he's showing

01:38:26.979 --> 01:38:32.159
a lot. He is. He is. Those are three I kind of

01:38:32.159 --> 01:38:36.819
have been watching. Yeah. Drake May you can't

01:38:36.819 --> 01:38:39.199
do yet because of bodybuilding. It's not there.

01:38:39.260 --> 01:38:41.880
It was the one season where he was... got it

01:38:41.880 --> 01:38:44.479
all together. So we can't really say that yet.

01:38:45.340 --> 01:38:49.159
And some spectacular late game winning drives

01:38:49.159 --> 01:38:51.420
doesn't hurt either if you can see a few of those.

01:38:51.460 --> 01:38:53.560
Oh, no, no, no. I mean, yeah, if he puts together

01:38:53.560 --> 01:38:55.619
two seasons like that, I would say he's the number

01:38:55.619 --> 01:39:01.560
one. Yeah. All right. Let me see. I think I have

01:39:01.560 --> 01:39:03.500
a couple other stories. Do you have some stuff

01:39:03.500 --> 01:39:05.779
or not? I'm done with the stories. Are you tapped?

01:39:05.960 --> 01:39:12.439
Yep. Oh. Well. Do you want to go to the music

01:39:12.439 --> 01:39:14.079
groups? How long do we have? Or do you want me

01:39:14.079 --> 01:39:15.500
to do some other stories? We've got an hour and

01:39:15.500 --> 01:39:18.840
40 now, so I guess we can move on. Okay. Yeah,

01:39:18.899 --> 01:39:20.500
because I have this report about the government

01:39:20.500 --> 01:39:22.460
keeps track of what people put up their butts.

01:39:24.119 --> 01:39:26.340
I don't know if that's necessarily a sports thing.

01:39:26.380 --> 01:39:28.000
It's probably more of a music thing, isn't it?

01:39:28.979 --> 01:39:32.319
Yeah, I'll probably go with the music. Maybe

01:39:32.319 --> 01:39:35.460
we can fit it in with groupies. Yeah, I think

01:39:35.460 --> 01:39:39.479
that would probably... Yeah. All righty. All

01:39:39.479 --> 01:39:41.500
right. And, you know, whatever I have in sports,

01:39:41.600 --> 01:39:44.840
it can wait. Yeah. All right. Okay. Hey, everybody,

01:39:44.939 --> 01:39:46.760
thank you for joining us. I mean, we are doing

01:39:46.760 --> 01:39:48.760
so well, and people are coming by and joining

01:39:48.760 --> 01:39:51.300
us. And we love that you listen to us from all

01:39:51.300 --> 01:39:53.479
over the world. Thank you very much, and go fuck

01:39:53.479 --> 01:39:53.899
yourself.
