WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.980
Well, since the sports show can't be called two

00:00:02.980 --> 00:00:06.540
douchebags with a microphone, maybe we could

00:00:06.540 --> 00:00:14.339
just call them the sports bastards. Yes, it's

00:00:14.339 --> 00:00:17.559
true. Mark is an old bastard. It's also true

00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:21.039
that Mark uses a lot of ibuprofen. But Mark would

00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:23.960
like to tell you, if you see any pictures of

00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:27.949
him roofing ibuprofen. It's obviously fake, and

00:00:27.949 --> 00:00:29.789
you're to take the pictures and tear them up

00:00:29.789 --> 00:00:47.549
immediately. These sports bastards. I'm Mark.

00:00:47.689 --> 00:00:50.929
I'm Topher. All right, we still are. And it's

00:00:50.929 --> 00:00:53.189
New Year's Day for us. Yes, it is. Yep. I don't

00:00:53.189 --> 00:00:55.969
know where you are, what you're doing. Right

00:00:55.969 --> 00:00:58.149
now, right here, for us, it's New Year's Day.

00:00:58.429 --> 00:01:00.590
Yeah, I think some people are on their second

00:01:00.590 --> 00:01:03.070
date. Some people are on January 2nd right now.

00:01:03.189 --> 00:01:06.269
Yeah, yeah, across the date line. And no, they're

00:01:06.269 --> 00:01:09.010
not in the future. No, but some people think.

00:01:09.950 --> 00:01:12.150
We'll mention that a little bit later. Yeah,

00:01:12.150 --> 00:01:17.569
yep. All right, I've got some stuff here. I'm

00:01:17.569 --> 00:01:21.069
glad you've got stuff. Okay. Why don't we...

00:01:22.430 --> 00:01:24.290
Okay, first off, you got anything to say about

00:01:24.290 --> 00:01:27.689
the Chiefs? Well, they played about how I expected.

00:01:30.049 --> 00:01:32.269
I mean, for a bunch of backups, they played hard.

00:01:32.430 --> 00:01:36.870
Yeah, yeah. So I really wasn't surprised by much

00:01:36.870 --> 00:01:39.730
that happened in the Broncos -Chiefs game from

00:01:39.730 --> 00:01:41.689
the Chiefs' perspective, but on the Broncos'

00:01:41.790 --> 00:01:44.069
side, I was kind of surprised at how poorly they

00:01:44.069 --> 00:01:46.930
played, especially from a Sean Payton -led team.

00:01:47.150 --> 00:01:50.530
Yes, how about this? They get destroyed by Jacksonville.

00:01:51.060 --> 00:01:53.420
And then they play our third and fourth stringers

00:01:53.420 --> 00:01:56.019
and almost lose. And it's not like they don't

00:01:56.019 --> 00:01:58.140
have anything to play for. They absolutely have

00:01:58.140 --> 00:02:00.579
something to play for, yeah. So they're looking

00:02:00.579 --> 00:02:03.400
for that number one seed. Home field advantage

00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:06.560
throughout. Yeah, it really surprised me how

00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:09.840
poorly they prepared and how poorly they played

00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:12.919
and how long they let the Chiefs linger in the

00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:16.639
game. They reminded me of the Chiefs. Yeah, yeah.

00:02:16.860 --> 00:02:18.819
They just let them stick around, stick around,

00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:21.919
stick around, and then finally. They pulled it

00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:24.939
off somehow. Yeah. Now, normally, this is what

00:02:24.939 --> 00:02:27.360
they would call a trap game. Yeah. But nobody

00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:30.120
mentioned that word during the broadcast that

00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:32.060
I can remember hearing. They don't do that anymore.

00:02:32.180 --> 00:02:35.219
No, they really don't. You know, in Madden football,

00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:38.479
they still use that term for whatever part of

00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:41.020
reality that affects. Yeah. But I guess if you're

00:02:41.020 --> 00:02:42.960
the New York Jets, Madden football is kind of

00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:44.960
their Bible. It's what they go to. Yeah, yeah.

00:02:45.819 --> 00:02:51.349
Because their owner is senile. You boys play

00:02:51.349 --> 00:02:54.069
with Madden, don't you? Yeah. Check out his ratings

00:02:54.069 --> 00:02:55.849
and see if we want a trace holder. See if we

00:02:55.849 --> 00:03:00.370
want this guy. Oh, God. But, yeah, I really don't

00:03:00.370 --> 00:03:02.729
know if Denver's got anything left in the tank.

00:03:03.009 --> 00:03:05.110
It doesn't look like it does. No, it really doesn't.

00:03:05.129 --> 00:03:10.229
So it's going to be interesting to see who crashes

00:03:10.229 --> 00:03:13.250
and burns in the playoffs. Playoffs? Yeah. It

00:03:13.250 --> 00:03:15.449
looks like we have a lot of paper tigers. Yeah,

00:03:15.530 --> 00:03:20.680
absolutely. Let's see, New England. They beat

00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:24.740
one winning record team. Can that be trusted?

00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:28.539
And that's Buffalo, that's division. Not really.

00:03:28.740 --> 00:03:32.060
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Buffalo, how can

00:03:32.060 --> 00:03:34.120
you be happier there? I mean, I wouldn't be.

00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:40.199
Yeah, they're not. Buffalo is getting things

00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:43.900
done, but last minute, last second, desperation

00:03:43.900 --> 00:03:47.580
type. They're not playing like an efficient,

00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:51.680
well -coached. talented team. They look like

00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:54.379
a bunch of people who are, their heads are on

00:03:54.379 --> 00:03:56.020
fire and they're running out frantically trying

00:03:56.020 --> 00:03:57.740
to figure out what to do and somehow it's working.

00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:00.819
That's a good way of putting it. It really is.

00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:07.800
They don't get out ahead. They don't dominate.

00:04:09.780 --> 00:04:11.719
So it leads me to believe that if you have a

00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:13.919
team with a really good defense, they're in trouble.

00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:16.259
And I'll tell you what, they better hope they

00:04:16.259 --> 00:04:19.550
don't face the Texans. Yeah, yeah. Because the

00:04:19.550 --> 00:04:21.389
Texans have that kind of defense that could kill

00:04:21.389 --> 00:04:23.610
him. You put Josh Allen on his butt a couple,

00:04:23.649 --> 00:04:26.350
three times, and he's rattled for the game. And

00:04:26.350 --> 00:04:28.629
he stops believing in his team, and he starts

00:04:28.629 --> 00:04:30.129
trying to figure out, oh, I've got to do this

00:04:30.129 --> 00:04:33.449
all by myself. And that's a good way to beat

00:04:33.449 --> 00:04:37.269
him. It makes it easier. I call this the Spagnolo

00:04:37.269 --> 00:04:40.829
effect. Yeah. People watch this. They watch this

00:04:40.829 --> 00:04:44.259
in the playoffs many times. Then they're like,

00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:47.399
well, who shuts him down routinely? Well, during

00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:49.740
the regular season, he doesn't. But during the

00:04:49.740 --> 00:04:54.199
playoffs, when it counts, they shut him down.

00:04:54.379 --> 00:04:57.019
Yeah. So that shuts a lot right there. Yeah.

00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:00.639
So at the very least, I mean, it doesn't seem

00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:05.259
like Josh Allen, he's showtime. It doesn't seem

00:05:05.259 --> 00:05:08.079
like that. No. You know? It's hard to think of

00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:12.100
a single team. that's going to be in the postseason

00:05:12.100 --> 00:05:15.079
that looks like a consistently dominating team.

00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:18.079
All of them have flaws. All of them have problems.

00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:22.000
I think that's pretty much the way the – I mean,

00:05:22.019 --> 00:05:24.860
this is like the wet dream for the NFL. Anybody

00:05:24.860 --> 00:05:27.600
could win. Anybody could lose. The gambling is

00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:29.980
going to go crazy. And then whichever way the

00:05:29.980 --> 00:05:32.660
gambling goes, they decide how to influence the

00:05:32.660 --> 00:05:34.680
games to push them towards this conclusion or

00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:39.860
that conclusion. Yeah, over at NFL League office,

00:05:39.939 --> 00:05:41.899
the floor must be really sticky right about now.

00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:46.160
Well, I'm sure it is. Yeah, as sticky as a porn

00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:49.540
theater floor for the same reason. Yeah, for

00:05:49.540 --> 00:05:52.519
the same reason. Okay, well, let's go into some

00:05:52.519 --> 00:05:54.839
teams limping into the playoffs since we're talking

00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:56.279
about this. Yeah, that sounds good. Playoffs.

00:05:57.100 --> 00:06:00.899
How about the Packers? Limping, limping, limping.

00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:04.379
Jordan Love's hurt. Yeah. Is he still on concussion

00:06:04.379 --> 00:06:07.100
protocol? Well, he's out for the final game of

00:06:07.100 --> 00:06:08.699
the season. Yeah, yeah, they took him out. They

00:06:08.699 --> 00:06:11.839
have nothing to gain anyhow, so, yeah. We'll

00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:13.680
see if he's back next week because they will

00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:15.660
be playing next week. They will be playing next

00:06:15.660 --> 00:06:20.459
week. They better hope he is. Yeah. But the backup's

00:06:20.459 --> 00:06:24.550
playing pretty well. I forgot his name. I forgot

00:06:24.550 --> 00:06:26.750
it too. Yeah, we can't necessarily blame that

00:06:26.750 --> 00:06:29.350
on him. He's doing a pretty good job. Yeah. The

00:06:29.350 --> 00:06:31.129
whole team just kind of seems to be fumbling

00:06:31.129 --> 00:06:35.110
around. And to be fair, they were doing that

00:06:35.110 --> 00:06:38.410
with Jordan Love too. Yeah, yeah. It's not like

00:06:38.410 --> 00:06:41.290
Jordan Love was holding him together. No, no.

00:06:41.670 --> 00:06:44.430
No, he wasn't by any means. He probably wanted

00:06:44.430 --> 00:06:46.550
to. He's probably trying to, but it wasn't working.

00:06:46.970 --> 00:06:49.569
The Packers, whether they're one and done, it's

00:06:49.569 --> 00:06:52.500
going to depend widely on who they face. Yeah,

00:06:52.500 --> 00:06:55.399
true. Yeah, I mean, if you got them against Philly,

00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:59.360
I don't know who I'd pick. Wow, that is, yeah,

00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:01.660
that's interesting. Probably Philadelphia just

00:07:01.660 --> 00:07:03.319
because they've been there, done that, the pedigree

00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:05.779
factor. But only because of that, not the way

00:07:05.779 --> 00:07:08.360
they're playing. Because the Packers are playing

00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:14.639
horrible as well. Yeah. So, let's go to the Eagles.

00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:18.360
Oh, okay. All right. Let's see, who all is going

00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:20.699
to be in the playoffs over there in the NFC?

00:07:21.790 --> 00:07:25.649
You got Panthers and the Bears. I see them beating

00:07:25.649 --> 00:07:30.009
the Panthers. The Bears, I don't see, I don't,

00:07:30.009 --> 00:07:32.170
you know what, the Bears, I see a scenario where

00:07:32.170 --> 00:07:34.569
the Bears beat them pretty easily. Yeah, I think

00:07:34.569 --> 00:07:37.490
more highly of the Bears than just about anybody

00:07:37.490 --> 00:07:40.329
else in the NFC. You got the Falcons are in.

00:07:41.310 --> 00:07:44.379
And then for the West, it's... What, Seattle

00:07:44.379 --> 00:07:48.480
and the Rams? And San Francisco, possibly. Yeah.

00:07:48.740 --> 00:07:51.100
It depends. I think San Francisco is still in

00:07:51.100 --> 00:07:53.420
play to get the number one seed. I think the

00:07:53.420 --> 00:07:55.759
NFC West is probably going to provide the two

00:07:55.759 --> 00:08:01.240
wild cards. Yes. Yep. Well, you have three 11

00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:03.860
-win teams and one 12. No, there's two 11 -win

00:08:03.860 --> 00:08:06.740
teams and one 12 -win team. Yeah. Yeah, so. So

00:08:06.740 --> 00:08:08.579
you've got three wild cards. Yeah, you've got

00:08:08.579 --> 00:08:11.899
three wild cards. So that could be. Two of the

00:08:11.899 --> 00:08:14.379
teams out of the West plus the Packers. I think

00:08:14.379 --> 00:08:17.579
so, yeah. That makes sense. Yeah, that does make

00:08:17.579 --> 00:08:19.920
sense. And that's going to be a pretty good little

00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:23.660
face -off between, I mean, the West is, I think,

00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:25.120
where you're going to have the winner coming

00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:27.879
out of. Seems like, yeah, if it's not Chicago.

00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:31.699
Yeah, I am not still. Not quite sold on Chicago?

00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:36.460
No, not quite sold on Chicago and also Sam Darnold.

00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:40.649
Oh, true, true. Yeah. So if I had to pick anyone

00:08:40.649 --> 00:08:42.870
from there, again, because of the pedigree of

00:08:42.870 --> 00:08:44.710
the bidder who done that and all that, I would

00:08:44.710 --> 00:08:47.169
pick the Rams over all of them, even though they're

00:08:47.169 --> 00:08:49.870
playing fucking horrible. Yeah. I think that

00:08:49.870 --> 00:08:54.649
Matthew Stafford and Covey and Sean McVay have

00:08:54.649 --> 00:08:58.049
that switch. And I've seen the Niners screw it

00:08:58.049 --> 00:09:00.029
up. I have too. When they have everything going

00:09:00.029 --> 00:09:01.909
their way and they still manage to screw it up.

00:09:01.970 --> 00:09:03.789
They've been doing that quite a bit lately. Yeah,

00:09:03.789 --> 00:09:05.250
yeah. That's something they've got to look at

00:09:05.250 --> 00:09:07.779
and figure out what's going on there. So, yeah,

00:09:07.820 --> 00:09:10.200
I believe the Niners are a lot more capable of

00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:13.679
stepping on their own feet. And they have been.

00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:17.679
Yeah. So, yeah, I can see that very easily. So,

00:09:17.860 --> 00:09:20.139
Buffalo, we talked about them. They're limping

00:09:20.139 --> 00:09:23.220
in the playoffs. They need to really get it together

00:09:23.220 --> 00:09:25.919
because they are going to lose to a subpar team

00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:28.440
when they're playing. Yeah. I think they'll lose

00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:30.740
to Jacksonville. They would definitely probably

00:09:30.740 --> 00:09:33.860
lose to Houston. Yeah, the Texans. Stroud is

00:09:33.860 --> 00:09:36.759
making some. Pretty amazing throws. Yeah. Their

00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:40.399
defense is enough to make Buffalo wish they hadn't

00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:44.100
shown up. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. So that's

00:09:44.100 --> 00:09:46.559
going to be, if they play them, I think Buffalo

00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:48.379
could be a one and done if they play them first

00:09:48.379 --> 00:09:53.360
off. Yeah. The Steelers, DK, I forgot. DeKalen

00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:56.659
Zacharias Metcalf. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's not

00:09:56.659 --> 00:10:01.159
going to be in there by any means. Nope. So I

00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:04.600
never was high on the Steelers anyhow. I definitely

00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:08.679
am not now. No, no. I mean, especially when you

00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:10.820
compare them to how the Steelers have been lately,

00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:13.200
when they've been a strong team, they've been

00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:15.519
a really strong team. Yes. This year they're

00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:18.019
just kind of barely strong enough to limp into

00:10:18.019 --> 00:10:21.399
the playoffs. Playoffs, playoffs. I could see

00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:24.320
them being a one -to -done. Yeah, I could too.

00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:31.340
I could too. How about the Bucs if they make

00:10:31.340 --> 00:10:34.730
it? No, they're not going anywhere. Yeah, and

00:10:34.730 --> 00:10:37.009
I think Carolina's going to stomp their ass.

00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:39.419
Yeah, I think Baker Mayfield has lost whatever

00:10:39.419 --> 00:10:41.379
he had last season. He just doesn't have it this

00:10:41.379 --> 00:10:43.120
season. And earlier this season. Yeah, that's

00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:44.779
true. Earlier in the season he was doing a lot

00:10:44.779 --> 00:10:47.139
better. First five games he had all the comebacks.

00:10:47.139 --> 00:10:49.600
He was looking brilliant. I don't know. Now,

00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:52.259
if he's hurt again and not telling anybody, then

00:10:52.259 --> 00:10:54.080
that's just stupid. Because that's what he did

00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:56.120
in Cleveland. I know. And he got everyone pissed

00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:58.299
at him and they ran him out of town. Yeah. So

00:10:58.299 --> 00:11:00.740
if he's doing it again in Tampa, well, that's

00:11:00.740 --> 00:11:02.779
on you for being that stupid. Because it's going

00:11:02.779 --> 00:11:05.080
to get your ass run out of Tampa too. I gave

00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:08.279
him a pass and I dogged on the Browns for getting

00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:10.279
rid of him and all that and everything. But you

00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:13.299
know what? If this continues to happen like they

00:11:13.299 --> 00:11:15.879
don't make it to the playoffs, then yes. I think

00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:17.480
that I'm going to go ahead and say, you know

00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:19.559
what? I was wrong on that. Baker Mayfield is

00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:22.100
not anything. Yeah, yeah. It seems like Cleveland

00:11:22.100 --> 00:11:24.980
kind of knew what they were doing, at least in

00:11:24.980 --> 00:11:27.879
that instance. Yeah. But everything else, no.

00:11:28.059 --> 00:11:34.149
No, no. How about the Chargers? Wow. They're

00:11:34.149 --> 00:11:37.690
missing something big. Yeah, something just ain't

00:11:37.690 --> 00:11:40.169
working right there. Yeah, and I don't think

00:11:40.169 --> 00:11:41.929
it's necessarily their defense, although their

00:11:41.929 --> 00:11:44.330
defense has a tendency to let them down in big

00:11:44.330 --> 00:11:48.230
moments. But Herbert is playing pretty inconsistently.

00:11:48.289 --> 00:11:50.610
He's not playing like someone who really believes

00:11:50.610 --> 00:11:53.330
in himself and his team. He never has. Yeah.

00:11:54.610 --> 00:11:56.610
And, of course, you've got Grandpa Jim there

00:11:56.610 --> 00:11:58.789
on the sidelines squinting up at the scoreboards.

00:11:58.889 --> 00:12:03.350
Yeah, I don't like Jim Harbaugh at all. I mean,

00:12:03.370 --> 00:12:05.889
just look at the University of Michigan and all

00:12:05.889 --> 00:12:07.769
the legal troubles they're having there. That's

00:12:07.769 --> 00:12:10.690
all on Jim Harbaugh because that's his mess he

00:12:10.690 --> 00:12:13.549
created. That's the kind of trash you got coaching

00:12:13.549 --> 00:12:17.409
in the Chargers. Yeah, and the people seem to

00:12:17.409 --> 00:12:20.070
be fine with that too. Oh, yeah, yeah. For most

00:12:20.070 --> 00:12:22.190
people, they don't care if you raped a nun yesterday.

00:12:22.250 --> 00:12:24.309
As long as you win and make the money. Yeah,

00:12:24.330 --> 00:12:27.389
yeah, they'll be good with you. Yeah. Yep. So

00:12:27.389 --> 00:12:30.230
we don't see the Chargers being very good? No,

00:12:30.330 --> 00:12:34.649
I don't think so. Okay. How about Sam Fran? They

00:12:34.649 --> 00:12:40.610
just lost to the Falcons. Mm -hmm. How many points

00:12:40.610 --> 00:12:44.350
did they give up to the Falcons? Was it 32, 38?

00:12:44.350 --> 00:12:46.950
It was quite a few, yeah. Something enormous.

00:12:47.330 --> 00:12:50.210
Robert Salah was put over there for their defense.

00:12:50.590 --> 00:12:54.519
Yeah. I don't really see their defense been showing

00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:57.059
up in a few games now. Yeah, it's been a little

00:12:57.059 --> 00:13:02.539
hard to see what they're actually trying to accomplish

00:13:02.539 --> 00:13:04.899
because they're not being the same team week

00:13:04.899 --> 00:13:09.419
after week. It just – I don't get it. No, I don't

00:13:09.419 --> 00:13:18.460
either. I don't either. Let me find the – You're

00:13:18.460 --> 00:13:22.210
looking for the box score? Yeah. The 49ers played

00:13:22.210 --> 00:13:24.909
the Bears. The Rams played the Falcons. Oh, wait

00:13:24.909 --> 00:13:27.090
a minute. Rams, Rams, Rams. Sorry, I got that

00:13:27.090 --> 00:13:29.289
wrong. The Falcons were up 27 -24 over the Rams.

00:13:29.450 --> 00:13:32.690
Yeah. The 49ers were 42 -38 over the Bears. Yeah,

00:13:32.750 --> 00:13:34.269
yeah. I was talking about the Bears. Really high

00:13:34.269 --> 00:13:36.370
-scoring game. Yeah, 42 -38. So, yeah, the defenses

00:13:36.370 --> 00:13:40.490
didn't show up there. And that's the question

00:13:40.490 --> 00:13:43.429
I have about the Bears is, is games like that,

00:13:43.509 --> 00:13:45.509
too. Yeah. They've given away a couple of them

00:13:45.509 --> 00:13:48.710
that I know of already. Yeah. Yeah, and then

00:13:48.710 --> 00:13:51.759
the Rams lost to the Falcons. Yeah. Which is

00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:57.080
nothing to brag about. No. So all of these teams

00:13:57.080 --> 00:14:00.460
have huge flaws, and then we also – so Sam Fran,

00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:03.659
I mean, they don't look that good either. I mean

00:14:03.659 --> 00:14:06.759
– Inconsistent. Yeah. I mean, they beat the Bears,

00:14:06.940 --> 00:14:09.860
yes, but almost did not. And they gave up that

00:14:09.860 --> 00:14:11.840
many points. So how good can you feel about that?

00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:16.419
Yeah, yeah. They always say defense wins championships.

00:14:17.690 --> 00:14:20.450
Not always, but it's a necessary ingredient.

00:14:20.470 --> 00:14:22.769
You really got to have a good defense or a consistent

00:14:22.769 --> 00:14:25.549
defense. And if you're giving up 38 points to

00:14:25.549 --> 00:14:28.929
the Bears, then your defense needs to work. You

00:14:28.929 --> 00:14:32.029
won the game, sure, but you gave up 38 freaking

00:14:32.029 --> 00:14:34.690
points. No, I know. That's not going to work

00:14:34.690 --> 00:14:37.509
next week. No, no, no, no. That's not playoff

00:14:37.509 --> 00:14:40.509
football. No, it's not. Playoff. Playoff. So,

00:14:40.610 --> 00:14:43.070
all right, let's go to finally, how about the

00:14:43.070 --> 00:14:46.950
Broncos? Now the Broncos, as crappy as they looked

00:14:46.950 --> 00:14:48.830
against the Chiefs, I think they can turn around

00:14:48.830 --> 00:14:51.730
and make a showing in the postseason. Yeah, I

00:14:51.730 --> 00:14:54.529
think so too. The reason is because what you

00:14:54.529 --> 00:15:00.049
just said, defense. Yeah. So yeah, I could see

00:15:00.049 --> 00:15:01.669
them, but they're going to have to pick it up

00:15:01.669 --> 00:15:04.590
a lot. Yeah. And the offense is going to have

00:15:04.590 --> 00:15:07.309
to take advantage when the defense gives them

00:15:07.309 --> 00:15:09.370
opportunities. Yes. Which they don't always do.

00:15:09.769 --> 00:15:15.210
Yeah. Yep. I agree. All right. Well, how about

00:15:15.210 --> 00:15:19.090
teams that are excelling? Only a couple of them

00:15:19.090 --> 00:15:21.870
that I know of. That would be Jacksonville and

00:15:21.870 --> 00:15:27.289
the Texans. Out of those two, just because of

00:15:27.289 --> 00:15:29.330
the defenses, I'm going to pick the Texans, but

00:15:29.330 --> 00:15:31.830
not by far because Jacksonville, they're playing

00:15:31.830 --> 00:15:35.389
great situational football. True, true. It's

00:15:35.389 --> 00:15:37.929
not like they're playing outstanding. There's

00:15:37.929 --> 00:15:40.570
nothing they do particularly like the best at.

00:15:41.040 --> 00:15:42.960
which is everything they're just kind of good

00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:46.639
enough at and getting it done. So, I mean, how

00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:48.740
do you beat a team like that? Yeah, they're going

00:15:48.740 --> 00:15:50.659
to be beat somewhere down the line, I'm sure,

00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:52.460
but it's going to be hard to beat a team like

00:15:52.460 --> 00:15:54.320
that because they're just kind of like, all right,

00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:56.460
we're down by seven, but we'll figure out a way.

00:15:56.799 --> 00:15:58.720
They're figuring out a way. The Chiefs lived

00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:02.879
on figuring out a way. So that's going to be

00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:06.860
interesting. The Texans, they're excelling at

00:16:06.860 --> 00:16:10.220
the right time. And their defense has always

00:16:10.220 --> 00:16:12.740
been spectacular, and their pass rush is phenomenal.

00:16:13.340 --> 00:16:17.559
But C .J. Stroud is not having like a statistical

00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:21.659
fantastic season or nothing like that. He's just

00:16:21.659 --> 00:16:24.080
making some extraordinary plays when it absolutely

00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:26.279
counts. And, you know, that's probably better,

00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:29.379
you know, because there have been plenty of seasons

00:16:29.379 --> 00:16:32.759
that. Like back in the 80s, Dan Marino would

00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:35.759
rack up 4 ,000 -plus passing yards and tons of

00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:38.480
touchdowns. But they didn't make the postseason

00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:40.399
because they had no defense. Yeah. And they had

00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:44.399
no running game. Yep. So just basing it strictly

00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:47.399
on QB stats doesn't work. No. The fact that he's

00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:51.279
making it when it counts, that's huge. That is

00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:54.059
huge. Because it also means you're putting yourself

00:16:54.059 --> 00:16:57.429
in the position. But then you're also taking

00:16:57.429 --> 00:17:00.250
advantage of it and making it work. Yeah, yep.

00:17:00.610 --> 00:17:03.870
That's something to admire, something to strive

00:17:03.870 --> 00:17:06.509
for. Oh, yeah, yeah. I could see the championship

00:17:06.509 --> 00:17:10.509
game in the AFC coming down to just whoever plays

00:17:10.509 --> 00:17:13.609
the best situational football. Right now, I'd

00:17:13.609 --> 00:17:17.829
like to see a defensive struggle in the AFC championship

00:17:17.829 --> 00:17:20.349
between the Broncos and the Texans. I would love

00:17:20.349 --> 00:17:22.190
to see that. That, I think, would be exciting.

00:17:24.750 --> 00:17:28.849
It's also going to be exciting. I'm not necessarily

00:17:28.849 --> 00:17:32.549
wishing ill on the Buffalo Bills, but I think

00:17:32.549 --> 00:17:34.890
it would be interesting to see what happens if

00:17:34.890 --> 00:17:37.589
the Bills get knocked out embarrassingly in the

00:17:37.589 --> 00:17:39.950
first round. Not that I'm wishing it on them.

00:17:39.950 --> 00:17:42.369
I'm not a Bills hater. But it would be interesting

00:17:42.369 --> 00:17:47.009
to see how the team, head coaching, front office,

00:17:47.130 --> 00:17:49.890
etc. reacts, to see how the fan base reacts.

00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:52.579
Because if they set up for them this season,

00:17:52.660 --> 00:17:54.380
then they're just not taking advantage of them.

00:17:54.440 --> 00:17:56.839
No, they're not. Not at all. Yeah. If they don't

00:17:56.839 --> 00:17:59.740
do it this season, it's not going to happen.

00:17:59.960 --> 00:18:04.119
Yeah. Yeah. They've got to seriously question

00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:07.880
a lot of their coaching staff and their philosophy,

00:18:08.099 --> 00:18:10.960
et cetera, because they're all doing what they're

00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:12.819
supposed to be doing, and they seem to be succeeding,

00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:15.779
but it's just not been enough to even get them

00:18:15.779 --> 00:18:19.509
in the game. It will be especially crushing for

00:18:19.509 --> 00:18:22.009
the Bills if they get in and then get blown out,

00:18:22.109 --> 00:18:26.490
which the league would hate. It would be interesting

00:18:26.490 --> 00:18:29.390
to see what happens in Buffalo. If they don't

00:18:29.390 --> 00:18:32.809
win the Super Bowl, then changes are coming,

00:18:32.890 --> 00:18:36.509
I think. I could see the same thing happening

00:18:36.509 --> 00:18:39.710
in Dallas. Yeah, I could too. Because Jerry Jones

00:18:39.710 --> 00:18:41.670
likes to mess with his team. He likes to play

00:18:41.670 --> 00:18:51.339
with things. The rest of the NFC, well, let's

00:18:51.339 --> 00:18:54.299
stick with the AFC for the moment. I think the

00:18:54.299 --> 00:18:56.299
Bills are the number one. They're going to go

00:18:56.299 --> 00:18:59.380
through some changes of the winning team. So

00:18:59.380 --> 00:19:02.279
the losing team is, of course, the Raiders. You've

00:19:02.279 --> 00:19:06.220
got to do massive amounts of stuff there. Los

00:19:06.220 --> 00:19:11.339
Angeles Chargers are going to have to make some

00:19:11.339 --> 00:19:14.799
changes. Steelers are going to have to make big

00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:17.150
changes. Because I don't think Aaron Rodgers

00:19:17.150 --> 00:19:20.450
is going to come back. No, I don't either. And

00:19:20.450 --> 00:19:22.609
then in the east, the Dolphins are going to rebuild.

00:19:24.009 --> 00:19:28.049
The Patriots are on their way. Yeah. It'll be

00:19:28.049 --> 00:19:30.210
interesting. A lot of the perennial teams that

00:19:30.210 --> 00:19:33.349
you think are always going to be there on the

00:19:33.349 --> 00:19:37.789
– Okay, the new number works. Oh, cool. Okay.

00:19:38.029 --> 00:19:42.849
But for the moment, you know, speaking of the

00:19:42.849 --> 00:19:46.369
postseason. Pretty much, I think every weekend

00:19:46.369 --> 00:19:49.329
is going to be interesting. Yeah. Now that we

00:19:49.329 --> 00:19:51.650
don't have the home team to root for, I could

00:19:51.650 --> 00:19:53.670
be a lot more objective. No, me too. And not

00:19:53.670 --> 00:19:56.049
really care about the outcome, but just be interested

00:19:56.049 --> 00:20:02.069
in seeing what happens. Yeah, I agree. Hey, Dom,

00:20:02.089 --> 00:20:03.730
we're doing something here. We're trying to get

00:20:03.730 --> 00:20:06.849
some people to call in, so I'm posting something.

00:20:06.910 --> 00:20:09.690
So if it sounds like I'm preoccupied, I am. Yeah.

00:20:10.670 --> 00:20:14.940
So, okay, so we're... What happened to the Niners'

00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:19.319
defense? They've been giving up 30 points often.

00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:23.960
Yeah. Can you really win a Super Bowl like that?

00:20:24.059 --> 00:20:26.180
I guess you can, but it makes it a lot harder.

00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:29.000
It's really tough to get to the Super Bowl giving

00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:31.579
up that many points in a second game. Yeah, I

00:20:31.579 --> 00:20:35.059
don't think they will, but... Everyone's defense

00:20:35.059 --> 00:20:36.980
is a little dinged up this time of the year,

00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:40.099
but for the Niners, it looks more like they've

00:20:40.099 --> 00:20:43.730
been figured out. Every year when Madden football

00:20:43.730 --> 00:20:46.250
came out, people would find an exploit play,

00:20:46.450 --> 00:20:49.029
something that always worked and you couldn't

00:20:49.029 --> 00:20:52.029
defend against. And they would just run that

00:20:52.029 --> 00:20:53.609
play over and over and over and over and over.

00:20:55.529 --> 00:20:57.529
That's kind of what it's looking like now with

00:20:57.529 --> 00:20:59.890
a number of teams, is somebody has figured them

00:20:59.890 --> 00:21:02.450
out what the exploit play is that's always going

00:21:02.450 --> 00:21:05.210
to work against them. And when they really need

00:21:05.210 --> 00:21:07.230
that first down or really need a score, they

00:21:07.230 --> 00:21:11.299
go to it and they just hammer them. Yeah, good

00:21:11.299 --> 00:21:15.380
point. I try not to base a lot of things on Madden

00:21:15.380 --> 00:21:17.339
because that's just fantasy land. But it was

00:21:17.339 --> 00:21:19.380
interesting the other day. I fired up Madden

00:21:19.380 --> 00:21:25.640
23, which is the 1922 roster. And I put on an

00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:29.279
exhibition game of the Chiefs versus the Broncos

00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:33.539
and just let the video game run both sides. I

00:21:33.539 --> 00:21:37.240
just watched. And the way they had Mahomes programmed

00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:41.329
to act. was pretty much how I remember him from

00:21:41.329 --> 00:21:44.190
three years ago. He was quick, he was decisive,

00:21:44.490 --> 00:21:47.009
he was making throws quickly. He would almost

00:21:47.009 --> 00:21:51.410
never get hit or touched. Rarely scamper out

00:21:51.410 --> 00:21:53.190
of the pocket. He'd find a way to move around

00:21:53.190 --> 00:21:55.849
and make a throw from within the pocket. Every

00:21:55.849 --> 00:21:57.829
now and then he'd scamper out and make a throw,

00:21:57.869 --> 00:22:02.369
etc. And now I compare that to this season. Madden

00:22:02.369 --> 00:22:04.750
football was designed to look like the way the

00:22:04.750 --> 00:22:07.509
team looked at that time. To perform the way

00:22:07.509 --> 00:22:11.470
they performed. And then this season, you see

00:22:11.470 --> 00:22:14.690
Mahomes bolting out of the pocket as quickly

00:22:14.690 --> 00:22:18.069
as possible, and then everything just falls apart.

00:22:18.349 --> 00:22:22.089
Oh, I know. His total attitude towards the passing

00:22:22.089 --> 00:22:24.829
game is so completely different from what it

00:22:24.829 --> 00:22:29.250
used to be. Well, the one thing is, he was having

00:22:29.250 --> 00:22:32.829
fun. Yeah. He doesn't look like he's having any

00:22:32.829 --> 00:22:35.410
fun this year. No. No, you can see the look on

00:22:35.410 --> 00:22:37.509
his face. As soon as he hits that line, he looks

00:22:37.509 --> 00:22:40.420
worried. And that's a problem. They're going

00:22:40.420 --> 00:22:42.539
to have to address that in the offseason. I know

00:22:42.539 --> 00:22:45.420
they have components. They have some newer guys

00:22:45.420 --> 00:22:47.539
like Poley that seem to be doing good, and they

00:22:47.539 --> 00:22:50.839
have Josh Simmons when he comes back. I think

00:22:50.839 --> 00:22:52.900
they have Moore for one more year, don't they?

00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:57.079
They have Taylor for one more year if he doesn't

00:22:57.079 --> 00:23:01.839
commit penalties or something. They have the

00:23:01.839 --> 00:23:04.940
components. But I think even more than the offensive

00:23:04.940 --> 00:23:07.680
line, we do need offensive linemen. We need depth.

00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:11.779
Here's the thing we need. A solid number one

00:23:11.779 --> 00:23:15.519
running back. That will help the offensive line

00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:18.859
more than anything. Given the other team the

00:23:18.859 --> 00:23:23.099
fear that you're going to run, you get four or

00:23:23.099 --> 00:23:26.039
five yards to carry. That's pretty much the way

00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:29.230
it usually works. I've seen it a lot in the NFL

00:23:29.230 --> 00:23:31.329
is you have one featured back and then a change

00:23:31.329 --> 00:23:34.390
-up guy. Yes. And the Chiefs just have, well,

00:23:34.470 --> 00:23:36.410
we don't know, it just could be this guy for

00:23:36.410 --> 00:23:38.750
a few plays, then maybe that guy for a few plays,

00:23:38.930 --> 00:23:41.009
and who knows who. And then in the fourth quarter,

00:23:41.109 --> 00:23:45.470
nobody runs. No, I know. Isn't that crazy? It's

00:23:45.470 --> 00:23:48.029
crap. Because the other team will basically just

00:23:48.029 --> 00:23:50.390
disregard your running game when you do it that

00:23:50.390 --> 00:23:52.609
way. We don't need to worry about it because

00:23:52.609 --> 00:23:54.769
just our basic run defense will take care of

00:23:54.769 --> 00:23:56.670
it because they have no plan. They have no clue.

00:23:56.890 --> 00:23:58.410
They don't know who they're putting in. They

00:23:58.410 --> 00:24:00.109
don't know who they're starting. So obviously

00:24:00.109 --> 00:24:02.529
they haven't built a running game around anybody.

00:24:03.150 --> 00:24:07.950
It's just an afterthought. I'm disappointed in

00:24:07.950 --> 00:24:10.029
Andy Reid that he treats the running game like

00:24:10.029 --> 00:24:12.130
an unimportant afterthought. It's just, well,

00:24:12.170 --> 00:24:13.630
we have to run every once in a while just to

00:24:13.630 --> 00:24:15.930
keep them off our ass when we pass. That's pretty

00:24:15.930 --> 00:24:18.839
much it. That's bullshit. I remember seeing that

00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:21.799
article, or maybe it was on TV, I think it's

00:24:21.799 --> 00:24:24.400
an article, and I told you about this a few times,

00:24:24.519 --> 00:24:26.839
but the thing that gets me is, is this right

00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:30.200
here. They consider anything, any pass under

00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:31.940
like five or seven yards, somewhere in that,

00:24:32.039 --> 00:24:35.819
they consider that a run. But it's not the same

00:24:35.819 --> 00:24:37.519
as having a running game, which is what they

00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:40.259
forget. Yes, but they count it as a run, so if

00:24:40.259 --> 00:24:43.500
you talk to them, we run all the time. What are

00:24:43.500 --> 00:24:44.500
you talking about? Yeah, they're fooling themselves.

00:24:44.819 --> 00:24:47.660
Yeah. Yeah. Now, that's true, which I think it

00:24:47.660 --> 00:24:50.339
was. I believe that I had it vetted, and I either

00:24:50.339 --> 00:24:53.500
saw it on TV. I'm pretty sure that was correct.

00:24:53.859 --> 00:24:55.980
So that philosophy is wrong. They need to change

00:24:55.980 --> 00:24:57.920
that. They need to go, that was not a run because

00:24:57.920 --> 00:25:01.039
the ball was in the air. It doesn't have the

00:25:01.039 --> 00:25:03.900
same effect when you've got your line firing

00:25:03.900 --> 00:25:06.680
forward and bludgeoning the D -line, and then

00:25:06.680 --> 00:25:08.900
your running back goes through and smashes into

00:25:08.900 --> 00:25:12.019
a linebacker. Yeah. That's totally different.

00:25:12.559 --> 00:25:14.839
than pass blocking and then the receiver catches

00:25:14.839 --> 00:25:17.460
and he gets tackled by one guy. There's a whole

00:25:17.460 --> 00:25:20.200
bunch of physical contact and bludgeoning and

00:25:20.200 --> 00:25:23.700
hammering that's going on that will have a cumulative

00:25:23.700 --> 00:25:26.200
effect by the third quarter and fourth quarter

00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:28.640
that the other team's like, damn, that running

00:25:28.640 --> 00:25:31.960
game hurts. But if you're doing five - and six

00:25:31.960 --> 00:25:34.119
-yard dump -off passes, they don't give a shit.

00:25:34.259 --> 00:25:35.920
Nobody's getting hurt. No one's getting tired.

00:25:36.039 --> 00:25:38.599
They're like, eh. We'll just keep defending them

00:25:38.599 --> 00:25:40.720
right there. So if the coaches are thinking they're

00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:42.279
actually running when they're doing that, they're

00:25:42.279 --> 00:25:44.720
dumbasses. Yeah, and they wait on our receivers

00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:47.680
too. They wait for them to catch the ball, and

00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:49.839
then they take their helmet and just drill them

00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:54.690
as hard as they can. Yeah. What it is is it used

00:25:54.690 --> 00:25:57.509
to be that you had us outsmarting people so bad

00:25:57.509 --> 00:25:59.309
to where there wasn't any of that. The guy had

00:25:59.309 --> 00:26:01.529
already had the ball and he already ran five

00:26:01.529 --> 00:26:04.190
yards before anyone was near him. That's not

00:26:04.190 --> 00:26:06.450
happening anymore. Nobody is completely open

00:26:06.450 --> 00:26:08.630
anymore unless the play has been going on for

00:26:08.630 --> 00:26:12.109
like 30 seconds. That's a good point because

00:26:12.109 --> 00:26:14.490
I remember a lot of times when Mahomes would

00:26:14.490 --> 00:26:17.730
throw and the ball would go to receiver and everyone

00:26:17.730 --> 00:26:20.130
was like, what? How'd that guy get open? Well,

00:26:20.269 --> 00:26:23.690
he threw it to that guy. It was a surprise. Now,

00:26:23.710 --> 00:26:26.529
when Mahomes brings his arm back to throw, everyone

00:26:26.529 --> 00:26:29.369
knows exactly who he's throwing to. Yes. As early

00:26:29.369 --> 00:26:31.730
as when his arm is back behind his head, everyone

00:26:31.730 --> 00:26:34.089
on the field knows exactly who he's throwing

00:26:34.089 --> 00:26:37.430
to. The only exception was the one throw to Rice,

00:26:37.490 --> 00:26:39.869
and I can't remember, was it maybe Jacksonville

00:26:39.869 --> 00:26:41.690
or something? Yeah, where he looked one way and

00:26:41.690 --> 00:26:43.470
threw the other way. Yeah, yeah, that was a little

00:26:43.470 --> 00:26:45.690
bit of the old Mahomes. But I also contend that

00:26:45.690 --> 00:26:47.690
he's been injured for a while and hiding it,

00:26:47.730 --> 00:26:50.670
in my opinion. I mean, I can't prove that. But,

00:26:50.730 --> 00:26:54.460
like I said, I am not... I am no stranger to

00:26:54.460 --> 00:26:58.000
knee problems. I had a new knee put in. Well,

00:26:58.079 --> 00:27:00.319
your wife, too, Cindy. Yeah. And thank you very

00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:01.960
much, Cindy. Well, you won't listen to this,

00:27:02.039 --> 00:27:04.019
so I'll just send her a text later thanking her

00:27:04.019 --> 00:27:07.259
for the breakfast sandwich. Cindy's kitchen is

00:27:07.259 --> 00:27:09.380
the best kitchen around. That thing is amazing.

00:27:09.519 --> 00:27:16.289
It is. Yep. So. I think he's been injured because,

00:27:16.509 --> 00:27:18.630
you know, like I said, courtesy of my last job,

00:27:18.670 --> 00:27:21.390
those idiots, you know, I have a lot of knee

00:27:21.390 --> 00:27:23.150
problems because of the type of work that I do.

00:27:23.470 --> 00:27:25.609
And like I said, I had a knee replacement. There

00:27:25.609 --> 00:27:27.930
is a certain walk that you do when your knees

00:27:27.930 --> 00:27:30.369
hurt. Yeah. And I've seen Mahomes do that for

00:27:30.369 --> 00:27:32.750
quite a few games this year and last year too.

00:27:32.930 --> 00:27:35.029
Yeah. This has been coming on, in my opinion.

00:27:35.029 --> 00:27:38.750
I mean, I could be wrong, of course, but being

00:27:38.750 --> 00:27:41.329
familiar with that type of injury on myself,

00:27:41.630 --> 00:27:46.829
I know that walk. Now, this is what confuses

00:27:46.829 --> 00:27:51.170
me about the people who bet on football. They're

00:27:51.170 --> 00:27:53.750
supposed to tell you when players are injured.

00:27:53.829 --> 00:27:55.970
They're supposed to be real up front and be open

00:27:55.970 --> 00:27:57.869
and honest about all the injuries. Now, they

00:27:57.869 --> 00:27:59.809
don't do that in college because everyone there

00:27:59.809 --> 00:28:01.930
is under 21 and they're minors and you don't

00:28:01.930 --> 00:28:05.490
share the medical information for minors. But

00:28:05.490 --> 00:28:07.470
in the NFL, they're all grown -ass adult men.

00:28:08.269 --> 00:28:10.829
At least they're all men now. That might happen

00:28:10.829 --> 00:28:15.470
sometime in the future. The only thing I can

00:28:15.470 --> 00:28:18.829
think of is normally the gambling community would

00:28:18.829 --> 00:28:21.150
say, this isn't right, you're supposed to tell

00:28:21.150 --> 00:28:23.589
us when people are fair so we can make an appropriate

00:28:23.589 --> 00:28:28.190
bet. But I think what's happening is for the

00:28:28.190 --> 00:28:32.309
savvy gambler who knows what extra services to

00:28:32.309 --> 00:28:35.130
subscribe to to get inside information, they're

00:28:35.130 --> 00:28:37.430
the ones who are learning about all these secret

00:28:37.430 --> 00:28:39.390
injuries. Oh, I hear that all the time. So these

00:28:39.390 --> 00:28:42.670
injuries are being released, but they're behind

00:28:42.670 --> 00:28:46.220
a paywall. So as before, they would just have

00:28:46.220 --> 00:28:48.519
to tell everybody to make it fair and honest.

00:28:48.700 --> 00:28:51.460
Now they've put that behind a paywall. Oh, you

00:28:51.460 --> 00:28:53.880
want to bet on the NFL? Okay. But if you want

00:28:53.880 --> 00:28:56.559
the real information, then here's this never

00:28:56.559 --> 00:28:58.619
-ending monthly payment you have to give to us.

00:28:58.799 --> 00:29:01.599
Yeah, we'll give you what's probably happening.

00:29:01.759 --> 00:29:05.119
Yeah. So the more you pay, the more likely you

00:29:05.119 --> 00:29:07.400
are to get the true information of what's really

00:29:07.400 --> 00:29:10.680
going on. If you're not paying at all, then you're

00:29:10.680 --> 00:29:14.410
being lied to left and right. Yes. I have some

00:29:14.410 --> 00:29:16.730
of the Super Bowl favorite odds right now. Great.

00:29:16.829 --> 00:29:19.450
You want to hear them? Yes. The Rams are currently

00:29:19.450 --> 00:29:22.349
the favorite. Interesting. Even after their dismal,

00:29:22.349 --> 00:29:28.410
you know, against Atlanta. Yeah. Plus 425 is

00:29:28.410 --> 00:29:32.730
what they have. The Seahawks are the second favorite.

00:29:33.369 --> 00:29:35.869
They've moved above San Fran by quite a bit,

00:29:35.950 --> 00:29:40.890
actually. Plus 550. They like Darnold. Yeah,

00:29:40.930 --> 00:29:45.440
I guess so. I'm still not convinced. I'm sorry.

00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:49.660
I mean, I'm waiting on this. I don't – Darnold's

00:29:49.660 --> 00:29:51.839
playing fantastic. He's playing out of his mind.

00:29:51.859 --> 00:29:54.319
But I still contend you get – people have been

00:29:54.319 --> 00:29:56.440
watching all your defensive gurus and they're

00:29:56.440 --> 00:29:58.079
going to find the holes in his game like they

00:29:58.079 --> 00:30:00.579
did everywhere else. Yeah. Minnesota had happened.

00:30:01.039 --> 00:30:02.819
Minnesota was like – they were one of the favorites.

00:30:02.920 --> 00:30:04.500
They're like, oh, my gosh, look at him. They

00:30:04.500 --> 00:30:07.500
are playing on all cylinders. Now, the teams

00:30:07.500 --> 00:30:09.880
will tell you. Oh, we're only looking at this

00:30:09.880 --> 00:30:11.819
next game next week. We're not looking ahead.

00:30:12.319 --> 00:30:14.140
Well, yeah, they are. Yeah, they are. You know,

00:30:14.140 --> 00:30:16.440
your defense coordinator is looking at the next

00:30:16.440 --> 00:30:18.680
opponent, but he's got members of the staff looking

00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:20.619
at the game after that and the game after that.

00:30:20.740 --> 00:30:21.920
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, yeah, they are looking

00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:23.279
ahead. They have people checking it out. Yeah.

00:30:23.319 --> 00:30:26.420
Yes. So right now every team that's going to

00:30:26.420 --> 00:30:28.839
be in the postseason has got a staff member or

00:30:28.839 --> 00:30:32.119
two examining every other team they could possibly

00:30:32.119 --> 00:30:35.200
face. Yeah. So all the homework's being done

00:30:35.200 --> 00:30:40.079
right now. The next are, it's a tie between Buffalo,

00:30:40.440 --> 00:30:44.319
the Broncos, the Pats, and the 49ers are all

00:30:44.319 --> 00:30:48.720
plus 900. So after that plus 550, plus 900. So

00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:52.140
there's a considerable gap between the favorites

00:30:52.140 --> 00:30:55.140
after that. Buffalo's in the third tier. Yes.

00:30:55.660 --> 00:30:58.299
So are the Broncos. That's got to wrangle them.

00:30:58.420 --> 00:31:04.599
The Pats and the 49ers. But what's the one name

00:31:04.599 --> 00:31:10.460
we haven't heard? The Eagles. Wow, you're right,

00:31:10.579 --> 00:31:14.640
yeah. They're plus 1 ,000. Nobody's convinced

00:31:14.640 --> 00:31:17.119
about them this year at all. But I'd like to

00:31:17.119 --> 00:31:19.599
remind you, they weren't last year either. Yeah.

00:31:19.900 --> 00:31:22.759
So last year about this time, yeah. And if the

00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:26.160
coach is smart in Philadelphia, which I'm not

00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:28.319
sure about. I'm not sure about that. He had another

00:31:28.319 --> 00:31:31.839
altercation with fans again. But the smart thing

00:31:31.839 --> 00:31:33.920
we'd do would be to point out to the team, hey,

00:31:33.980 --> 00:31:36.410
look. This is how little they think of us. Let's

00:31:36.410 --> 00:31:38.609
go out there and rub their noses in it. Oh, yeah.

00:31:38.769 --> 00:31:41.750
I mean, that can motivate your team. You want

00:31:41.750 --> 00:31:44.670
to hear my Nick Sirianni impression? Yeah. You

00:31:44.670 --> 00:31:48.849
talking to me? You talking to me? You fucking

00:31:48.849 --> 00:31:54.289
talking to me? That's Nick Sirianni. He probably

00:31:54.289 --> 00:31:56.569
wishes it were the good old days of the Philly

00:31:56.569 --> 00:32:02.960
mob. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what? You tell

00:32:02.960 --> 00:32:06.000
me who that guy is. You go find out. He grew

00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:08.859
up watching Casino and Goodfellas, and he thinks,

00:32:08.880 --> 00:32:11.900
that's the life, man. I'm surprised he doesn't

00:32:11.900 --> 00:32:16.039
wear wingtips and a hat. And say, use guys. Use

00:32:16.039 --> 00:32:18.819
guys. Wear a tracksuit. Wait, he does wear a

00:32:18.819 --> 00:32:21.940
tracksuit. Hey, forget it. Hey, hang on, hang

00:32:21.940 --> 00:32:24.539
on, hang on. I'm Mediterranean. We can say this

00:32:24.539 --> 00:32:27.970
stuff. Yes. Yes, okay? I have my card that says

00:32:27.970 --> 00:32:30.190
that I can make fun of them. Yep. Yes. You're

00:32:30.190 --> 00:32:31.769
from that part of the world. Yes, yeah. Hang

00:32:31.769 --> 00:32:36.269
on here. Let me show you. See? Oh, it says it

00:32:36.269 --> 00:32:37.430
right there. All right, there we go. Very official

00:32:37.430 --> 00:32:39.109
looking. It's laminated and everything. Yeah,

00:32:39.170 --> 00:32:41.529
besides this being a podcast. Yeah. But anyhow,

00:32:41.769 --> 00:32:45.210
all right. The next one are the Texans, which

00:32:45.210 --> 00:32:47.390
I don't agree with. I think they should be higher.

00:32:47.529 --> 00:32:50.690
I think so, too. Plus $1 ,200. Advise to put

00:32:50.690 --> 00:32:53.890
money on anybody right now. The only money I

00:32:53.890 --> 00:32:56.349
put on, but I don't because I'm not a fool. Plus

00:32:56.349 --> 00:33:02.309
$1 ,200. How about the Packers? Middle of the

00:33:02.309 --> 00:33:06.009
pack. Yeah, middle of the pack. No pun intended.

00:33:07.950 --> 00:33:11.309
The Chargers and the Steelers. The Chargers at

00:33:11.309 --> 00:33:14.369
$2 ,500 plus $2 ,500. And the Steelers at plus

00:33:14.369 --> 00:33:16.950
$3 ,500. That sounds about right. Yeah, I think

00:33:16.950 --> 00:33:21.650
that's about right too. Alright, well, let's

00:33:21.650 --> 00:33:23.829
get to something else here. I have a bunch of

00:33:23.829 --> 00:33:34.930
things here. So, let's see. Oh, I have some bullet

00:33:34.930 --> 00:33:40.089
points. Oh, my favorite part. Me too. Alright.

00:33:41.769 --> 00:33:45.089
Lions are 8 -8 for a 500 record. What happened

00:33:45.089 --> 00:33:48.319
to them? They look like world beaters, not only

00:33:48.319 --> 00:33:51.019
earlier this year, but last year. And they keep

00:33:51.019 --> 00:33:54.839
fizzling. Part of it is Jared Goff. Yeah, good

00:33:54.839 --> 00:33:57.660
point. But that's not all of it. They have other

00:33:57.660 --> 00:34:01.160
internal problems somewhere, and it's hard to

00:34:01.160 --> 00:34:04.539
really locate it. Do you have any idea of what

00:34:04.539 --> 00:34:06.839
is going on? Well, I was going to mention Jared

00:34:06.839 --> 00:34:09.400
Goff first. I've been watching the second season

00:34:09.400 --> 00:34:12.500
of the Netflix series Quarterback, and Jared

00:34:12.500 --> 00:34:14.480
Goff is one of the ones featured. He doesn't

00:34:14.480 --> 00:34:17.119
have a personality to me. Not much of one, no.

00:34:18.239 --> 00:34:21.719
They're showing last year's season, not this

00:34:21.719 --> 00:34:27.659
year's. Two impressions I got right off the bat

00:34:27.659 --> 00:34:31.079
is the word fucking comes out of his mouth about

00:34:31.079 --> 00:34:33.480
every three seconds. Everything's fucking this

00:34:33.480 --> 00:34:35.099
and fucking that, and the fucking ball, we go

00:34:35.099 --> 00:34:36.980
to the fucking end zone, and the fucking grade,

00:34:37.079 --> 00:34:39.199
and fucking, fucking, fucking. That's Jared Goff.

00:34:39.539 --> 00:34:41.840
Everything's a fucking. Yeah, you know, and I

00:34:41.840 --> 00:34:44.219
have this story about the word fucking. And how

00:34:44.219 --> 00:34:47.320
you use it. All right. You use it appropriately

00:34:47.320 --> 00:34:49.980
with exclamation. I think you're probably fairly

00:34:49.980 --> 00:34:52.480
intelligent. But if you use it every other word,

00:34:52.539 --> 00:34:54.800
you're not. You don't have anything to say. No,

00:34:54.800 --> 00:34:58.460
it's a crutch word. So, number one, there's that.

00:34:58.679 --> 00:35:01.679
And number two, they started showing his things

00:35:01.679 --> 00:35:04.480
from back in his past career, like in Los Angeles.

00:35:04.860 --> 00:35:08.000
And he does have games where he is a turnover

00:35:08.000 --> 00:35:10.980
machine. Yeah. Like he did last week when he

00:35:10.980 --> 00:35:13.440
threw two interceptions and fumbled three times.

00:35:14.299 --> 00:35:17.300
He is a turnover machine, and that will come

00:35:17.300 --> 00:35:19.860
up, and it will happen to him. That's who Jared

00:35:19.860 --> 00:35:22.539
Goff is. Every once in a while, he just loses

00:35:22.539 --> 00:35:25.300
his mind and throws the game away. I think Dan

00:35:25.300 --> 00:35:27.719
Campbell and company are probably going to be

00:35:27.719 --> 00:35:29.820
looking for that guy in the draft. If it's not

00:35:29.820 --> 00:35:33.579
this year, it's next year. I'm not even sure

00:35:33.579 --> 00:35:35.119
if they're thinking they're ready next year.

00:35:35.530 --> 00:35:37.489
So I'm thinking that they're probably going to

00:35:37.489 --> 00:35:39.369
look for that guy either this year or next year

00:35:39.369 --> 00:35:42.989
in the draft. Because, I mean, look, Sean McVay

00:35:42.989 --> 00:35:44.869
could have easily stayed with Jared Goff and

00:35:44.869 --> 00:35:47.989
got back into the Super Bowl and all that. But

00:35:47.989 --> 00:35:51.510
he wasn't going to win one, and he probably wasn't

00:35:51.510 --> 00:35:53.250
even going to get there actually with Goff. Goff

00:35:53.250 --> 00:35:55.250
went there one time and he lost. He went down

00:35:55.250 --> 00:35:58.929
his leg. So, I mean, it can be done with Goff.

00:35:59.269 --> 00:36:01.889
Sean McVay did it, but it takes extraordinary

00:36:01.889 --> 00:36:05.590
circumstances. Dan Campbell as a coach strikes

00:36:05.590 --> 00:36:10.389
me as the rah -rah guy who will shout and scream

00:36:10.389 --> 00:36:13.409
about how great things are, refuse to acknowledge

00:36:13.409 --> 00:36:15.829
the flaws and just think, well, we just do it

00:36:15.829 --> 00:36:18.429
harder, faster, it'll be all fine. He's like

00:36:18.429 --> 00:36:21.369
the guy who's running really fast and thinks,

00:36:21.409 --> 00:36:24.010
I can make that 500 -foot jump if I just run

00:36:24.010 --> 00:36:26.769
really hard and jump really hard and just believe

00:36:26.769 --> 00:36:28.849
real hard in myself. No, you're not going to

00:36:28.849 --> 00:36:33.079
make that 500 -yard jump. Oh, no. But Dan Campbell

00:36:33.079 --> 00:36:35.179
strikes me as that kind of guy who can convince

00:36:35.179 --> 00:36:39.000
himself very quickly that he knows the answer

00:36:39.000 --> 00:36:40.599
and he's got the right answer and that's all

00:36:40.599 --> 00:36:42.920
he needs to do. And then it blows up in his face

00:36:42.920 --> 00:36:45.300
and he looks lost for a little bit. And then

00:36:45.300 --> 00:36:48.059
he focuses on something else. This is it. This

00:36:48.059 --> 00:36:50.239
has got to be it. And he just goes all in on

00:36:50.239 --> 00:36:52.280
that. And that's not right either. That's the

00:36:52.280 --> 00:36:54.599
kind of guy Dan Campbell is. No, I agree. And

00:36:54.599 --> 00:36:57.019
if he happens to land on the right thing, it

00:36:57.019 --> 00:37:00.969
works great. But if he doesn't, everything has

00:37:00.969 --> 00:37:03.829
to be exactly right for him to be in that position.

00:37:04.150 --> 00:37:06.570
As we saw this year. Well, actually, as we saw

00:37:06.570 --> 00:37:08.730
every year. I mean, as soon as the competition

00:37:08.730 --> 00:37:12.010
got stronger, he got weaker. And they didn't

00:37:12.010 --> 00:37:15.190
just lose last season. They lost badly. Yes.

00:37:15.210 --> 00:37:17.789
When they lost in the playoffs, it was like destroyed.

00:37:18.429 --> 00:37:21.800
Yeah. And, you know, that's from people watching

00:37:21.800 --> 00:37:25.760
you and seeing all of your weak spots and exploiting

00:37:25.760 --> 00:37:28.079
every one of them. And that's what happened.

00:37:28.860 --> 00:37:32.380
So, I mean, yeah, so they have a lot of rebuilding

00:37:32.380 --> 00:37:35.380
to do. And I think you're going to see the organization,

00:37:35.719 --> 00:37:39.360
they're going to get rid of Goff or make him

00:37:39.360 --> 00:37:42.099
a backup. And they're going to get their guy

00:37:42.099 --> 00:37:44.420
or try to get their guy. It's not easy to do.

00:37:45.019 --> 00:37:47.920
Not easy to do. And, I mean, you can look at

00:37:47.920 --> 00:37:51.800
Patrick Mahomes' draft class as an example. Trubisky,

00:37:51.900 --> 00:37:53.440
and who was the other one that was picked before

00:37:53.440 --> 00:37:57.639
him? Oh, Deshaun Watson, was it? Yeah. Yeah.

00:37:57.840 --> 00:38:00.460
Those two were picked before Mahomes, and astoundingly,

00:38:00.559 --> 00:38:03.340
I mean, people were like, like, Mahomes may not

00:38:03.340 --> 00:38:06.039
even be in the first round. Yeah, these two,

00:38:06.099 --> 00:38:10.800
these are the gems. So, yeah, well, look at history

00:38:10.800 --> 00:38:14.980
now. Yeah. So. All right, so the Lions had a

00:38:14.980 --> 00:38:17.039
few injuries, but no more than other teams. So

00:38:17.039 --> 00:38:20.099
do we agree that that is not an excuse for them?

00:38:20.460 --> 00:38:23.039
No, no. Everybody's dealing with injuries. Everybody's

00:38:23.039 --> 00:38:25.980
dealing with fatigue and soreness. And everyone's

00:38:25.980 --> 00:38:29.360
gone through very, very similar things. It all

00:38:29.360 --> 00:38:32.039
comes down to how the team handles it versus

00:38:32.039 --> 00:38:34.059
the way other teams handle it for their part.

00:38:34.219 --> 00:38:36.119
And guess who's good with that or should be good

00:38:36.119 --> 00:38:39.440
with that? That should be... The coach. Yep.

00:38:39.559 --> 00:38:42.099
Going, look, adversity makes us stronger, not

00:38:42.099 --> 00:38:44.980
weaker. Yep. So here, guys, jump on my back.

00:38:45.000 --> 00:38:47.320
I'm going to show you how to do this. I remember

00:38:47.320 --> 00:38:52.260
back what was in the 70s, and the Super Bowl

00:38:52.260 --> 00:38:55.780
was the Raiders versus the Eagles. Yeah. John

00:38:55.780 --> 00:38:58.539
Madden was coaching the Raiders, and Dick Vermeule

00:38:58.539 --> 00:39:01.099
was coaching the Eagles, and the game was down

00:39:01.099 --> 00:39:04.630
in New Orleans. And the night before the game,

00:39:04.809 --> 00:39:07.989
Madden said to his team, go out and have fun,

00:39:08.010 --> 00:39:11.610
party, celebrate, have a good time, just don't

00:39:11.610 --> 00:39:14.530
get too drunk, get back at a decent time, and

00:39:14.530 --> 00:39:16.250
we're going to go out tomorrow and just clobber

00:39:16.250 --> 00:39:18.489
these guys. And they all went out and had a great

00:39:18.489 --> 00:39:21.590
time and came back relaxed. Dick Vermeule had

00:39:21.590 --> 00:39:24.829
all of his team on a very strict schedule, bed

00:39:24.829 --> 00:39:27.750
checks, lockdown at 8 o 'clock, and he had them

00:39:27.750 --> 00:39:32.349
all. and there was no fun, there was no relaxing.

00:39:32.429 --> 00:39:34.929
It was all about business and the game. And when

00:39:34.929 --> 00:39:36.730
the Eagles got out on the field, they looked

00:39:36.730 --> 00:39:39.829
so screwed up tight and so wound up, they couldn't

00:39:39.829 --> 00:39:42.849
do anything. And the Raiders just demolished

00:39:42.849 --> 00:39:45.150
them. They were just having fun, enjoying themselves,

00:39:45.349 --> 00:39:48.369
and just destroying the Eagles because the coach

00:39:48.369 --> 00:39:52.980
fucked up. Dick Vermeule said... in later interviews,

00:39:53.059 --> 00:39:54.840
yeah, this is the absolute wrong thing to do,

00:39:54.880 --> 00:39:57.599
especially in New Orleans, is I made everyone

00:39:57.599 --> 00:39:59.840
stay inside and hate the fact that they were

00:39:59.840 --> 00:40:03.280
there. And that just didn't work. So the head

00:40:03.280 --> 00:40:06.800
coach is an enormous influencer in that situation.

00:40:06.820 --> 00:40:13.320
I agree. And Andy Reid's good at it. I can't

00:40:13.320 --> 00:40:15.239
think of who else right off the bat who's really

00:40:15.239 --> 00:40:17.300
good at preparing their teams, but I know some

00:40:17.300 --> 00:40:20.409
coaches that are lousy at it. Yeah. And one's

00:40:20.409 --> 00:40:28.469
Pete Carroll. Another one is Sirianni. Oh, yeah,

00:40:28.550 --> 00:40:33.349
yeah. But, yeah, the coach is going to screw

00:40:33.349 --> 00:40:36.269
it up for a number of teams. Yeah. The first

00:40:36.269 --> 00:40:38.969
week in the postseason, you're going to see coaches

00:40:38.969 --> 00:40:44.670
failing more than teams failing. Okay. All right,

00:40:44.730 --> 00:40:48.119
well. Detroit didn't have a very good chance

00:40:48.119 --> 00:40:51.719
of getting in the playoffs anyhow. But what do

00:40:51.719 --> 00:40:54.679
you make of the Vikings beating them soundly

00:40:54.679 --> 00:40:57.079
with a brand new rookie? I forgot his name already.

00:40:57.420 --> 00:40:59.619
McCarthy. No, not McCarthy. No, no, that's right.

00:40:59.760 --> 00:41:04.000
It was Bosmer. Yes. Yeah. And, I mean, he made

00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:06.320
some throws that they couldn't stop, which was

00:41:06.320 --> 00:41:09.960
kind of ridiculous, you would think. Yeah. especially

00:41:09.960 --> 00:41:12.900
Detroit, a hard -hitting, hard -nosed team, supposedly.

00:41:12.960 --> 00:41:14.980
They should be able to eat up a third -string

00:41:14.980 --> 00:41:17.420
quarterback. You would think so, but they didn't.

00:41:17.420 --> 00:41:20.199
So I read a lot into that game right there because

00:41:20.199 --> 00:41:22.400
they were still alive at the time. They were

00:41:22.400 --> 00:41:24.500
still alive. Yeah, they had everything to play

00:41:24.500 --> 00:41:28.219
for. Yeah. They've got a good secondary, a decent

00:41:28.219 --> 00:41:32.469
one anyway. Yeah. Yeah, it's surprising. They're

00:41:32.469 --> 00:41:34.849
having failure on so many levels right now. It's

00:41:34.849 --> 00:41:37.489
really hard to define exactly. I mean, kind of

00:41:37.489 --> 00:41:39.670
like the Chiefs, it's really hard to define exactly

00:41:39.670 --> 00:41:42.550
what's going wrong. But you see it in the end

00:41:42.550 --> 00:41:46.909
result like we have been seeing. So, okay, the

00:41:46.909 --> 00:41:50.309
question I got there, and these are all questions

00:41:50.309 --> 00:41:53.070
extended from here that I have little sub -questions.

00:41:53.969 --> 00:41:56.849
What type of a rebuild is Detroit looking at?

00:41:59.489 --> 00:42:01.969
What's the term they say, like a partial rebuild?

00:42:02.150 --> 00:42:04.349
They don't need to tear it all down from scratch.

00:42:04.889 --> 00:42:09.090
Yeah. But I think part of Detroit's rebuild should

00:42:09.090 --> 00:42:11.829
be a change in philosophy for the offense and

00:42:11.829 --> 00:42:14.869
defense. I agree, and also a change in quarterbacks.

00:42:14.989 --> 00:42:18.489
Yeah. A change in quarterbacks. They can't have

00:42:18.489 --> 00:42:21.949
Jared Goff anymore. He's too inconsistent. And

00:42:21.949 --> 00:42:24.050
you can get a lot for him. Yes, you can, yeah.

00:42:24.349 --> 00:42:27.599
There's a team like the Raiders. could really

00:42:27.599 --> 00:42:30.340
use a quarterback of his caliber to start winning

00:42:30.340 --> 00:42:33.599
games and change their team around. In case anyone's

00:42:33.599 --> 00:42:36.519
wondering, yes, that is true. You have to establish

00:42:36.519 --> 00:42:40.820
a winning culture. Yeah. And I'm pretty sure

00:42:40.820 --> 00:42:43.679
that when Reed came to Kansas City, he grabbed

00:42:43.679 --> 00:42:46.300
Alex Smith right off the bat. not because he

00:42:46.300 --> 00:42:48.019
thought he would win a Super Bowl with them,

00:42:48.039 --> 00:42:50.619
but he knew that he would establish a winning

00:42:50.619 --> 00:42:53.360
culture with them, which he did. And then he

00:42:53.360 --> 00:42:55.280
handed it off to the guy that he thought would,

00:42:55.400 --> 00:43:00.019
and, of course, they did a few times. Okay, so

00:43:00.019 --> 00:43:04.199
that, I think that they have a number of issues

00:43:04.199 --> 00:43:07.619
they have to address, but the number one is going

00:43:07.619 --> 00:43:11.699
to be, and also the offensive line, too. A pretty

00:43:11.699 --> 00:43:13.800
shoddy play on their part, I can see that, too.

00:43:14.159 --> 00:43:17.920
So Jared Goff, the offensive line, Gibbs is great.

00:43:18.039 --> 00:43:23.019
I think you got your guy there. Their defense

00:43:23.019 --> 00:43:27.119
is good, but it's not like it was in previous

00:43:27.119 --> 00:43:31.019
years. By no means had I ever even seen a shutdown

00:43:31.019 --> 00:43:34.940
defense this year. Yeah, I remember last season

00:43:34.940 --> 00:43:38.320
watching the Lions defense, and they looked fast

00:43:38.320 --> 00:43:40.099
and energetic, and they were getting pressure.

00:43:41.210 --> 00:43:43.369
I don't see that at all this year. Yeah, something

00:43:43.369 --> 00:43:46.289
has really gone wrong there. Whether it's a missing

00:43:46.289 --> 00:43:49.630
player or two. I don't know. You know, if I kept

00:43:49.630 --> 00:43:51.590
track of Detroit better, I might be able to tell

00:43:51.590 --> 00:43:54.809
you. Didn't they have Indomitian Sioux? Oh, yeah,

00:43:54.889 --> 00:43:56.030
that was a couple years ago. The guy out of Nebraska.

00:43:56.469 --> 00:43:59.409
Yeah, yeah. He's gone now. Yeah, he's been gone.

00:43:59.469 --> 00:44:02.070
I think he's retired. Yeah, I imagine so. Yeah.

00:44:02.349 --> 00:44:05.949
He was one of those questionable iffy guys. Yeah.

00:44:06.170 --> 00:44:09.780
Yeah. If you had him running on all cylinders,

00:44:09.920 --> 00:44:12.619
he was great. If you had him disgruntled or fluffed

00:44:12.619 --> 00:44:17.219
or something like, what would you call it, disgruntled

00:44:17.219 --> 00:44:19.980
or frustrated. Yeah, he was a penalty machine

00:44:19.980 --> 00:44:25.619
at that point. Yes, yes. So, all right. Dan Campbell

00:44:25.619 --> 00:44:27.699
was looted from with his offensive coordinator,

00:44:27.940 --> 00:44:32.699
Ben Johnson. Yeah. And that could have a lot

00:44:32.699 --> 00:44:34.579
to do with it. Not only Ben Johnson leaving.

00:44:35.019 --> 00:44:37.639
but also he got some of his players going with

00:44:37.639 --> 00:44:41.139
him. So right there, to me, now let's say that

00:44:41.139 --> 00:44:48.199
Nagy leaves, okay, offensive coordinator. He's

00:44:48.199 --> 00:44:50.559
not taking any players with him. I wouldn't think.

00:44:50.699 --> 00:44:55.579
Why is that? Nobody believes in Nagy, but they

00:44:55.579 --> 00:44:59.420
believe in Reed. So how was he, how was Ben Johnson

00:44:59.420 --> 00:45:02.099
able to get these players? They don't believe

00:45:02.099 --> 00:45:04.800
in Dan Campbell. That's a good point. They had

00:45:04.800 --> 00:45:06.559
to be willing to go, and they believed they had

00:45:06.559 --> 00:45:09.960
a better chance going to Chicago with the new

00:45:09.960 --> 00:45:12.260
coach than sticking around Detroit and building

00:45:12.260 --> 00:45:14.280
on what they had. And it proves, at least right

00:45:14.280 --> 00:45:16.099
now, they've made the right decision. Yeah, I

00:45:16.099 --> 00:45:18.719
believe they really did. Yeah, so to me, that

00:45:18.719 --> 00:45:20.480
spoke volumes when they left with him. That's

00:45:20.480 --> 00:45:22.960
telling me, like Dan Campbell, they don't think

00:45:22.960 --> 00:45:25.460
the reason he's winning is because of Dan Campbell.

00:45:26.159 --> 00:45:30.300
Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah. So Ben Johnson's

00:45:30.300 --> 00:45:34.420
over there in Chicago, 11 -5 currently, and in

00:45:34.420 --> 00:45:36.500
contention for the NFL. They probably won't get

00:45:36.500 --> 00:45:38.940
it now, but they're in contention for the number

00:45:38.940 --> 00:45:44.300
one seed. So he turned Caleb Williams around.

00:45:44.880 --> 00:45:47.780
Yeah. Okay, Caleb Williams is looking fantastic.

00:45:48.889 --> 00:45:51.869
So the running game is spectacular. Yeah, they

00:45:51.869 --> 00:45:54.409
got a running game. They have an established

00:45:54.409 --> 00:45:58.590
running game with a couple of really good running

00:45:58.590 --> 00:46:02.210
backs. Imagine that. Yeah. Rest of the teams

00:46:02.210 --> 00:46:04.730
in the league. Take a look at Chicago. Yeah.

00:46:05.010 --> 00:46:08.809
Yeah, isn't that something? Yeah. Yeah, so I

00:46:08.809 --> 00:46:13.150
think Ben Johnson is a huge issue right there.

00:46:13.269 --> 00:46:15.510
Yeah. And I think it needs to be addressed. I

00:46:15.510 --> 00:46:18.300
don't know if they did patchwork. after he left

00:46:18.300 --> 00:46:21.119
or not, but it looks to me like they need to

00:46:21.119 --> 00:46:25.659
find their guy. So Johnson has helped Caleb Williams

00:46:25.659 --> 00:46:31.019
become a superstar. Could this be a huge factor

00:46:31.019 --> 00:46:34.920
in Detroit's collapse, like I said? Yeah. I think

00:46:34.920 --> 00:46:39.199
so too. Yeah, I think so. It's like multiplied

00:46:39.199 --> 00:46:41.460
in the fact that the Bears and the Lions are

00:46:41.460 --> 00:46:45.150
in the same division. Yeah. So every success

00:46:45.150 --> 00:46:49.570
Chicago has directly affects the Lions in a negative

00:46:49.570 --> 00:46:53.809
way. Yeah. You know, it's expected in this offseason

00:46:53.809 --> 00:46:56.389
that Dan Campbell's going to return the favor

00:46:56.389 --> 00:47:02.269
and raid Ben Johnson's staff, which he may or

00:47:02.269 --> 00:47:05.789
may not be successful at. Yeah. Because members

00:47:05.789 --> 00:47:09.289
of Ben Johnson's staff might not want to go over

00:47:09.289 --> 00:47:12.250
to the Lions, even if it's a promotion. It's

00:47:12.250 --> 00:47:13.809
like, hey, your quarterback's coach over there.

00:47:13.829 --> 00:47:15.329
You can come over here and be offensive coordinator.

00:47:15.590 --> 00:47:18.130
It's like, yeah, no thanks. Yeah, yeah, no. We're

00:47:18.130 --> 00:47:20.250
building a winner over here. I'll stay where

00:47:20.250 --> 00:47:22.489
I am. Yeah, you guys go ahead and do what you're

00:47:22.489 --> 00:47:25.210
doing there. We're fine. Yeah, I don't see Dan

00:47:25.210 --> 00:47:27.590
Campbell being the kind of guy who can convince

00:47:27.590 --> 00:47:30.909
other coaches, especially long -tenured coaches,

00:47:31.110 --> 00:47:33.730
to make the change. Come on, guys, let's go get

00:47:33.730 --> 00:47:37.469
him. And they're looking at him like, no. we're

00:47:37.469 --> 00:47:39.309
not going to go get them with you. We're going

00:47:39.309 --> 00:47:41.030
to go get them with someone else. It's like the

00:47:41.030 --> 00:47:43.730
guys on sports radio whose only convincing argument

00:47:43.730 --> 00:47:47.269
is, I mean, come on, man. Yes. That's all they

00:47:47.269 --> 00:47:49.630
got in their bag of convincing. And I won't say

00:47:49.630 --> 00:47:53.010
who that is, but I've heard a couple in particular

00:47:53.010 --> 00:47:56.510
do that. And it's like, I tell you what, on the

00:47:56.510 --> 00:47:59.429
radio that does not come out very good at all.

00:47:59.530 --> 00:48:03.110
No, no. It comes out as someone not doing their

00:48:03.110 --> 00:48:09.309
homework. Yeah, a good phrase I heard in a movie

00:48:09.309 --> 00:48:12.269
was someone looked at someone and said, you're

00:48:12.269 --> 00:48:17.150
very passionate, but you're not convincing. You

00:48:17.150 --> 00:48:18.650
know what, I know a lot of people like that.

00:48:18.730 --> 00:48:20.389
Yeah, when you say, I mean, come on, man, come

00:48:20.389 --> 00:48:22.250
on. Let's go do it. They're very passionate,

00:48:22.289 --> 00:48:25.110
but they are not convincing. Oh, no, yeah, I

00:48:25.110 --> 00:48:28.670
agree. Yeah, and all you do is react on emotion,

00:48:28.929 --> 00:48:31.690
then they're like, oh, yeah, let's do it. But

00:48:31.690 --> 00:48:34.539
if you think... and you use logical, rational

00:48:34.539 --> 00:48:37.360
thinking, you're like, they're not saying anything.

00:48:38.139 --> 00:48:41.519
They're just trying to rev my emotions up, and

00:48:41.519 --> 00:48:44.239
there's no substance behind it. And smart people,

00:48:44.340 --> 00:48:46.519
smart coaches, smart players will see that and

00:48:46.519 --> 00:48:49.360
go, yeah, that's going to work for about 10 minutes,

00:48:49.460 --> 00:48:51.780
and then it's not working anymore. You have your

00:48:51.780 --> 00:48:55.079
first monumental collapse, and that's done. The

00:48:55.079 --> 00:48:58.519
rah -rah is over. It's like a pyramid scheme.

00:48:58.639 --> 00:49:01.099
It only works as long as everything's doing correct.

00:49:02.119 --> 00:49:04.480
First little flaw, it all just crumbles and falls

00:49:04.480 --> 00:49:08.780
apart. All right, Green Bay got pummeled. Anything

00:49:08.780 --> 00:49:11.460
to that? Jordan Love is out for a concussion,

00:49:11.480 --> 00:49:14.539
but their defense gives up 218 yards to Derrick

00:49:14.539 --> 00:49:17.280
Henry and four touchdowns, not to mention Ty

00:49:17.280 --> 00:49:20.860
Dillard Huntley starting at quarterback. So I

00:49:20.860 --> 00:49:23.880
go back to Green Bay got pummeled and all those

00:49:23.880 --> 00:49:31.269
stats. What is that? Man, I mean, doesn't it

00:49:31.269 --> 00:49:33.969
look kind of like they gave up on that game?

00:49:34.650 --> 00:49:37.889
Or they didn't prepare? Didn't prepare, I'd say.

00:49:38.889 --> 00:49:43.670
Yeah. It really makes me not think the Packers

00:49:43.670 --> 00:49:46.130
have anything left to give. I don't think so.

00:49:46.170 --> 00:49:49.110
And here's one of the reasons, okay? You knew

00:49:49.110 --> 00:49:51.750
Lamar Jackson was going to be out the whole time.

00:49:51.889 --> 00:49:54.110
You knew that Tyler Huntley was going to be in.

00:49:54.889 --> 00:49:56.650
So what are they going to do? They're going to

00:49:56.650 --> 00:49:59.449
run. They have Travis Henry. And Travis Henry,

00:49:59.570 --> 00:50:03.289
218 yards. He hasn't done that all season. Yeah,

00:50:03.289 --> 00:50:08.610
yeah. Yeah, so that tells me unprepared at the

00:50:08.610 --> 00:50:12.269
very least. And the historic value, they go into

00:50:12.269 --> 00:50:15.170
Lambeau in December, late December, where the

00:50:15.170 --> 00:50:17.070
Packers are supposed to have all the home field

00:50:17.070 --> 00:50:21.469
advantage. And Ravens almost doubled their score.

00:50:21.949 --> 00:50:26.679
Yeah, isn't that something? Yeah, you can say,

00:50:26.679 --> 00:50:29.159
well, a team can have an aberration or a bad

00:50:29.159 --> 00:50:32.219
week or whatever, but just this monumental failure,

00:50:32.440 --> 00:50:36.420
just total collapse, and to look bad doing it,

00:50:36.500 --> 00:50:39.659
that's not a one -week problem. That's not something

00:50:39.659 --> 00:50:41.579
that's, oh, this is a blip, it'll be better next

00:50:41.579 --> 00:50:44.599
week. No, no, no, no. That's like major bleeding.

00:50:45.800 --> 00:50:48.219
Yeah, that's like scrambling, you better figure

00:50:48.219 --> 00:50:52.019
something out now. Yep. Because everybody else

00:50:52.019 --> 00:50:53.760
is looking at the game film and saying, yeah,

00:50:53.760 --> 00:50:57.260
here's how you beat the Packers. Yep, you're

00:50:57.260 --> 00:51:00.420
right. Yep, and they are right now, I'll tell

00:51:00.420 --> 00:51:02.820
you what. They may make the playoffs, but I don't

00:51:02.820 --> 00:51:04.519
think they're going to make it very much further

00:51:04.519 --> 00:51:07.940
than that. Playoffs, playoffs. All right, I have

00:51:07.940 --> 00:51:09.800
some more bullet points. Those actually were

00:51:09.800 --> 00:51:12.039
not bullet points. Those were observations. I

00:51:12.039 --> 00:51:14.039
need to start writing this shit down so I know

00:51:14.039 --> 00:51:17.940
what I'm doing. Will the Raiders try to seriously

00:51:17.940 --> 00:51:22.519
draft a top quarterback in the draft? I think

00:51:22.519 --> 00:51:24.400
they're going to get rid of Pete Carroll first.

00:51:24.699 --> 00:51:27.300
Yeah. They're going to find that guy and they're

00:51:27.300 --> 00:51:30.579
going to find a GM, I think, finally because

00:51:30.579 --> 00:51:33.980
Tom Brady's there now. Tom Brady likes the GM

00:51:33.980 --> 00:51:36.039
that's there. He does? Yeah, and they have a

00:51:36.039 --> 00:51:38.260
good relationship. Okay, then he will probably

00:51:38.260 --> 00:51:41.780
be a strong consultant. Yeah, yeah. This would

00:51:41.780 --> 00:51:44.000
be the perfect time for the Raiders to go after

00:51:44.000 --> 00:51:46.139
a franchise quarterback because you've got Brady

00:51:46.139 --> 00:51:48.820
there for advice. He and the GM are on the same

00:51:48.820 --> 00:51:50.719
page. They've got a really, really high draft

00:51:50.719 --> 00:51:53.599
pick. No one's going to be upset if the current

00:51:53.599 --> 00:51:56.480
quarterback crop doesn't come back. Yeah. It's

00:51:56.480 --> 00:51:59.260
like perfect setup to go find. But if that guy

00:51:59.260 --> 00:52:01.840
isn't there. You mean Aiden McConnell is going

00:52:01.840 --> 00:52:05.179
to be a free agent? Imagine that. I can't believe

00:52:05.179 --> 00:52:07.940
that. So much talent. You think someone's going

00:52:07.940 --> 00:52:10.460
to sign Geno Smith, or is he done? Oh, I forgot

00:52:10.460 --> 00:52:14.059
about him. Someone will sign him to be a backup.

00:52:14.219 --> 00:52:16.239
I wouldn't mind seeing him as a backup on the

00:52:16.239 --> 00:52:18.460
Chiefs. I would love to see him as a backup on

00:52:18.460 --> 00:52:20.820
the Chiefs, because I think as a backup, he would

00:52:20.820 --> 00:52:23.260
be one of the better ones. Yeah, he's definitely

00:52:23.260 --> 00:52:27.309
very smart, and he's got good discipline. He

00:52:27.309 --> 00:52:29.730
just can't quite make the throws he used to be

00:52:29.730 --> 00:52:31.909
able to make. But for a backup, you don't care.

00:52:32.090 --> 00:52:35.730
No, no, no, he would be fine. Because I don't

00:52:35.730 --> 00:52:39.750
think we're holding on to Minshew. No. And like

00:52:39.750 --> 00:52:43.150
I said before, and I still contend this, on that

00:52:43.150 --> 00:52:45.510
throw alone that he didn't have to throw that

00:52:45.510 --> 00:52:47.630
got the interception that ended our season for

00:52:47.630 --> 00:52:50.409
playoff hopes. Yeah. Look, the season was trashed

00:52:50.409 --> 00:52:53.039
anyhow. But that right there, when he threw that,

00:52:53.119 --> 00:52:55.659
I was like, don't resign him. That's it. Yeah.

00:52:56.039 --> 00:52:59.400
To me, the very first thought that came into

00:52:59.400 --> 00:53:01.699
my head when he threw that ball was he knew he

00:53:01.699 --> 00:53:04.239
shouldn't have thrown it. He broke the huddle

00:53:04.239 --> 00:53:06.800
already with the decision that he was going to

00:53:06.800 --> 00:53:09.019
throw it to Kelsey because Kelsey told him to.

00:53:10.340 --> 00:53:12.099
It's like he didn't care what happened on the

00:53:12.099 --> 00:53:14.039
play, what the defense was doing. No matter how

00:53:14.039 --> 00:53:16.619
a play unfolded, he had already decided he was

00:53:16.619 --> 00:53:19.099
going to throw it to Kelsey. and he didn't happen

00:53:19.099 --> 00:53:21.860
to see the ghost right behind him. Yeah. He was

00:53:21.860 --> 00:53:24.699
there just silent, just nothing, nothing to see

00:53:24.699 --> 00:53:27.460
here. I'm just standing here right next to Kelsey

00:53:27.460 --> 00:53:29.480
while you throw. Oh, wait a minute, what did

00:53:29.480 --> 00:53:31.599
he do? He ran in front and caught the ball. And

00:53:31.599 --> 00:53:36.219
it's also very possible that the Broncos heard

00:53:36.219 --> 00:53:41.059
him or saw him talking with Minshew and figured

00:53:41.059 --> 00:53:43.559
out, yeah, Kelsey's telling him, throw me the

00:53:43.559 --> 00:53:45.980
ball, throw me the ball. Yeah. Make sure you

00:53:45.980 --> 00:53:48.840
– You take the extra special attention on Kelsey

00:53:48.840 --> 00:53:51.179
this play. The season was terminal anyhow. That

00:53:51.179 --> 00:53:53.519
was just a gunshot that did it. Yeah, but it

00:53:53.519 --> 00:53:58.739
shows real lack of judgment on Minshew's part.

00:53:59.039 --> 00:54:01.179
Yeah, he should have been like, you may be Travis

00:54:01.179 --> 00:54:05.260
Kelsey, but this is my game right now, and I'm

00:54:05.260 --> 00:54:07.960
the leader. He should look at it as, Kelsey,

00:54:08.099 --> 00:54:09.980
you probably won't be back next year. I want

00:54:09.980 --> 00:54:12.380
to be back next year. So I'm doing it my way.

00:54:12.420 --> 00:54:14.500
I'm not milling. That should have been a run.

00:54:15.279 --> 00:54:18.019
That should have been a run so bad. It should

00:54:18.019 --> 00:54:22.440
have been a run. Anyhow, all right. Will Mahomes

00:54:22.440 --> 00:54:24.940
be ready for the first regular season game next

00:54:24.940 --> 00:54:27.539
year? I'll say no. I'm going to say no either

00:54:27.539 --> 00:54:28.920
because I think they're going to tell him you're

00:54:28.920 --> 00:54:31.340
not ready. He's going to want to play. Yes. And

00:54:31.340 --> 00:54:34.760
they might, let's hope not, but they might actually

00:54:34.760 --> 00:54:38.440
let him talk them into starting him, but he won't

00:54:38.440 --> 00:54:41.659
be ready and he won't perform well. I say this

00:54:41.659 --> 00:54:45.519
again, Robert Griffin III. Yep. That guy was

00:54:45.519 --> 00:54:49.699
phenomenal until he hurt his knee and he came

00:54:49.699 --> 00:54:53.320
back too early and nobody told him no. Yep. Yep.

00:54:53.659 --> 00:54:56.400
Now he's out of football. Yeah. Way out of football.

00:54:56.420 --> 00:54:59.719
Way out of football. Yeah. Now he's telling Mahomes

00:54:59.719 --> 00:55:02.659
to be careful. Yeah. Tweeting out, you know,

00:55:02.659 --> 00:55:05.340
hey, be careful there, guy. You know, don't do

00:55:05.340 --> 00:55:08.800
like me. Right now I'm going to say keep Mahomes

00:55:08.800 --> 00:55:12.019
out the first four games. Yes. If you go two

00:55:12.019 --> 00:55:16.039
and two. That's fine. Yeah. Yeah. It's just like

00:55:16.039 --> 00:55:19.280
I've always said, just get us to the wild card.

00:55:19.440 --> 00:55:22.079
I don't care. When you've got a guy like Mahomes

00:55:22.079 --> 00:55:26.599
and Andy Reid and Steve Spagnuolo, you've always

00:55:26.599 --> 00:55:29.860
got to be worried about him. All right. Will

00:55:29.860 --> 00:55:36.000
Kelsey join the Pro Bowl this year? I think they're

00:55:36.000 --> 00:55:38.440
going to tell him to. Yeah. They want Taylor

00:55:38.440 --> 00:55:40.769
Swift there somewhere. Yeah, that makes sense.

00:55:40.909 --> 00:55:43.530
The whole Pro Bowl thing is such a different

00:55:43.530 --> 00:55:46.110
– it's not even a football game anymore. It used

00:55:46.110 --> 00:55:47.969
to be a football game. No, it isn't. It's a big

00:55:47.969 --> 00:55:51.429
show. And he is the most popular football player.

00:55:51.929 --> 00:55:54.210
Yeah, it's more of a public appearance anymore,

00:55:54.309 --> 00:55:55.869
and they can definitely tell the players you

00:55:55.869 --> 00:55:57.710
have to go. It's a public appearance. I think

00:55:57.710 --> 00:55:59.110
they're going to tell him to go whether he wants

00:55:59.110 --> 00:56:01.289
to or not, and I think he's going to go whether

00:56:01.289 --> 00:56:03.570
he retires or not. I think he's that kind of

00:56:03.570 --> 00:56:05.489
guy that if they ask him and tell him to go,

00:56:05.530 --> 00:56:08.710
he will. Yeah. All right, he's a team player.

00:56:09.469 --> 00:56:12.570
So, all right, Seahawks are the number one seed

00:56:12.570 --> 00:56:15.389
in NFC. Will they be a real threat to Philly,

00:56:15.449 --> 00:56:20.469
San Fran, and the Rams? Philly, yes. San Francisco

00:56:20.469 --> 00:56:23.829
and the Rams, no. No, I think they'll stomp them.

00:56:23.989 --> 00:56:26.730
Yeah. And particularly the Rams. I don't see

00:56:26.730 --> 00:56:29.250
Philadelphia beating anybody in the first round.

00:56:29.369 --> 00:56:31.690
I really don't. If they play like they have been,

00:56:31.690 --> 00:56:34.449
yeah. It's not they're playing excessively bad.

00:56:34.489 --> 00:56:36.969
It's just they're just so bland and mediocre

00:56:36.969 --> 00:56:40.440
and nothing. Yeah, they have just, that ump that

00:56:40.440 --> 00:56:42.900
they had, they lost. That fire in a bottle, they

00:56:42.900 --> 00:56:45.880
caught and gone. It's all on the coaching staff,

00:56:45.940 --> 00:56:48.619
too. Oh, I agree 100%. Absolutely 100 % on the

00:56:48.619 --> 00:56:50.780
coaching staff. Players are fine. The players

00:56:50.780 --> 00:56:53.599
are who they were last year. They're just fine.

00:56:54.920 --> 00:56:58.659
It's the culture around the team and the club

00:56:58.659 --> 00:57:01.139
and during practice and in the locker room, something

00:57:01.139 --> 00:57:04.639
is off. Oh, yeah, no, I know. Yeah, something

00:57:04.639 --> 00:57:07.699
about Mike DeMone or Nick Sirianni, whoever you

00:57:07.699 --> 00:57:11.860
want to call it, Mike DeMone. Hey, hey, you want

00:57:11.860 --> 00:57:13.579
some Sabbath tickets? I've got them right here.

00:57:14.820 --> 00:57:16.500
Hey, you want from Roe? You want to meet him?

00:57:16.579 --> 00:57:20.179
You want to meet him? All right. Yeah, hey, man,

00:57:20.280 --> 00:57:22.219
I'll take that action on the game. Don't forget

00:57:22.219 --> 00:57:24.599
the two -point spread. Hang on, hang on. I've

00:57:24.599 --> 00:57:26.960
got to show my card to you. Okay, I can make

00:57:26.960 --> 00:57:29.699
jokes like that. Oh, yeah. All right, okay, all

00:57:29.699 --> 00:57:34.829
right. All right, let's see. Matthew Stafford

00:57:34.829 --> 00:57:37.750
had a bad game. Will that take him out of MVP

00:57:37.750 --> 00:57:42.889
talk? I don't think it will take him out, but

00:57:42.889 --> 00:57:43.989
it will definitely hurt him. It set him back

00:57:43.989 --> 00:57:45.909
quite a bit, didn't it? Yeah. They'll still talk

00:57:45.909 --> 00:57:50.050
about it, but, man, NFC MVP? Caleb Williams?

00:57:50.650 --> 00:57:52.809
I would have to say Caleb Williams, yeah. That's

00:57:52.809 --> 00:57:55.050
who I'm kind of looking at right now. Yeah, because

00:57:55.050 --> 00:57:57.590
what he's done, I mean, the team's success is

00:57:57.590 --> 00:58:01.119
due in large part. to Caleb Williams and the

00:58:01.119 --> 00:58:06.099
performance he's put through. I think of all

00:58:06.099 --> 00:58:10.380
the teams, you take Caleb Williams away from

00:58:10.380 --> 00:58:14.239
the Bears, that's the biggest impact. anything

00:58:14.239 --> 00:58:17.059
if they took him away. I agree. It's on the same

00:58:17.059 --> 00:58:19.679
level as Mahomes. You take Mahomes out of the

00:58:19.679 --> 00:58:22.139
Chiefs and they're flat as a pancake. Well, they've

00:58:22.139 --> 00:58:26.000
been showing this. Same with Josh Allen in Buffalo,

00:58:26.280 --> 00:58:28.519
but at the same time, Josh Allen in there still

00:58:28.519 --> 00:58:31.800
isn't all that great. Beautiful shelter there.

00:58:33.179 --> 00:58:37.980
Besides Mahomes, who is the best all -around

00:58:37.980 --> 00:58:45.179
player on the Chiefs? Bolton is making an argument

00:58:45.179 --> 00:58:50.039
for that. Tranquil is really good. Oh, man, Tranquil

00:58:50.039 --> 00:58:53.860
is so underrated, too. Drew Tranquil, on all

00:58:53.860 --> 00:58:56.719
the big plays, he's somewhere. He's somewhere

00:58:56.719 --> 00:58:59.739
around there. Karloftis is another one, but he's

00:58:59.739 --> 00:59:02.860
not necessarily underrated. People see him getting

00:59:02.860 --> 00:59:07.320
in there all the time. I guess if it were anybody

00:59:07.320 --> 00:59:11.860
on offense, it might be the center. Although

00:59:11.860 --> 00:59:17.679
he gets a lot of credit. Yeah, I could see Trey.

00:59:19.639 --> 00:59:21.599
It's going to be interesting to see when Josh

00:59:21.599 --> 00:59:25.320
Simmons progresses because he really got off

00:59:25.320 --> 00:59:28.239
to a great start. He had family issues, so he

00:59:28.239 --> 00:59:31.380
had to leave and leave for a while. If he would

00:59:31.380 --> 00:59:32.940
have played the whole season, I would love to

00:59:32.940 --> 00:59:34.960
see where he is at, what kind of stats he put

00:59:34.960 --> 00:59:37.639
up. Because that guy right there, if he continues

00:59:37.639 --> 00:59:40.440
to play and has his head in the game, He's going

00:59:40.440 --> 00:59:43.039
to be one of the best. And that's such an important

00:59:43.039 --> 00:59:45.860
position for a right -handed quarterback is having

00:59:45.860 --> 00:59:50.460
a left tackle who can keep that rusher from blindsiding

00:59:50.460 --> 00:59:52.659
and destroying your quarterback. Look what happened

00:59:52.659 --> 00:59:55.420
after he left. Yeah. I mean, the games he was

00:59:55.420 --> 00:59:58.599
in there were starting to win like 30 -10, 28

00:59:58.599 --> 01:00:01.599
-23. I mean, we were really starting to catch

01:00:01.599 --> 01:00:05.440
fire until he left. Yeah, and what they seemed

01:00:05.440 --> 01:00:07.860
to be doing was having the left guard move over

01:00:07.860 --> 01:00:10.099
to help. On the left tackle, and then people

01:00:10.099 --> 01:00:12.719
were coming up right up the middle. Yes, and

01:00:12.719 --> 01:00:16.099
it worked. Yeah, it worked really well. All right,

01:00:16.199 --> 01:00:19.340
do you believe that Clark Hunt did Kansas City,

01:00:19.420 --> 01:00:24.099
Missouri dirty? Oh, yeah, absolutely. But I think

01:00:24.099 --> 01:00:25.780
Kansas City, Missouri did not help themselves.

01:00:26.900 --> 01:00:30.380
No. They went in lackadaisical and divided and

01:00:30.380 --> 01:00:34.300
unattentive. That seems to have been the philosophy

01:00:34.300 --> 01:00:38.019
of the Jackson County Sports Authority, is that

01:00:38.019 --> 01:00:41.039
who the governing body was? Yeah. Is they were

01:00:41.039 --> 01:00:44.539
always planning to do the bare minimum and just

01:00:44.539 --> 01:00:49.090
kind of coast and drift by. And I think Jackson

01:00:49.090 --> 01:00:51.510
County knew eventually they would lose the team,

01:00:51.630 --> 01:00:53.070
but they weren't going to change it. That's the

01:00:53.070 --> 01:00:54.769
way I looked at it, too. I think Jackson County

01:00:54.769 --> 01:00:56.969
knew they were going either way. And chose not

01:00:56.969 --> 01:00:59.250
to even try to compete. Yeah, they just kind

01:00:59.250 --> 01:01:02.070
of like, they threw up some smoke. But at the

01:01:02.070 --> 01:01:04.489
end of the day, it showed you how far it got

01:01:04.489 --> 01:01:06.469
them. They weren't even like really considered,

01:01:06.650 --> 01:01:09.349
it didn't look like to me. And I know why. I

01:01:09.349 --> 01:01:11.630
mean, look, we don't have to hash into it anymore.

01:01:12.170 --> 01:01:15.030
The city of Kansas City, they can't have a relationship

01:01:15.030 --> 01:01:17.900
right now. It's working on it. itself yeah so

01:01:17.900 --> 01:01:20.480
well i did hear this morning that the chiefs

01:01:20.480 --> 01:01:22.579
announced they're going to spend one million

01:01:22.579 --> 01:01:26.579
dollars in olathe building team offices practice

01:01:26.579 --> 01:01:29.300
facilities and an entertainment entertainment

01:01:29.300 --> 01:01:32.260
district of course now they could have done that

01:01:32.260 --> 01:01:34.039
while they were over here in kansas city side

01:01:34.039 --> 01:01:37.139
but they chose not to because they knew jackson

01:01:37.139 --> 01:01:40.329
county wasn't going to lift a finger So Kansas

01:01:40.329 --> 01:01:43.110
City, the Chiefs wanted to invest that $1 billion.

01:01:43.869 --> 01:01:46.389
It just didn't make sense in Jackson County.

01:01:46.449 --> 01:01:48.329
Now it makes sense, and they're doing it. Yeah,

01:01:48.349 --> 01:01:51.050
50 -some years, and they never developed that

01:01:51.050 --> 01:01:52.949
whole area out there, so why would anyone believe

01:01:52.949 --> 01:01:55.469
that? Yeah. Why would anyone in the whole world

01:01:55.469 --> 01:01:57.889
believe that? I'm sure Jackson County took the

01:01:57.889 --> 01:02:00.030
attitude of, oh, if you wanted to develop it,

01:02:00.030 --> 01:02:03.630
go ahead, but we ain't doing nothing. Yeah. No,

01:02:03.750 --> 01:02:10.250
I agree. Yeah. All right. Okay. You believe it

01:02:10.250 --> 01:02:14.510
too, so that takes away the other question I

01:02:14.510 --> 01:02:17.389
have with it. It's like, if not, why are the

01:02:17.389 --> 01:02:21.210
people taking this? Well, all right, then finally,

01:02:21.530 --> 01:02:23.889
if you could change the Chiefs' uniforms, just

01:02:23.889 --> 01:02:28.289
mildly tweak it, not a full -on change, just

01:02:28.289 --> 01:02:30.389
mildly tweak their uniforms, what would you do?

01:02:33.190 --> 01:02:35.650
Huh. I'm just thinking of putting like a star

01:02:35.650 --> 01:02:39.280
on there, kind of like the Cowboys did. Like

01:02:39.280 --> 01:02:41.599
putting a star on their shoulder pads or something,

01:02:41.800 --> 01:02:45.659
maybe. Yeah. Or maybe even an Arrowhead logo

01:02:45.659 --> 01:02:49.840
on their shoulder pads. Yeah. Something I've

01:02:49.840 --> 01:02:54.739
wanted to see them do is slightly tone down the

01:02:54.739 --> 01:02:59.019
red color to something a little darker. A little

01:02:59.019 --> 01:03:01.199
bit more like Tampa Bay -ish, maybe, or something.

01:03:02.090 --> 01:03:06.230
Not quite like the Commanders, but instead of

01:03:06.230 --> 01:03:09.690
a bright, shiny Fire Engine Red, have more of

01:03:09.690 --> 01:03:12.989
a matte finish. Yeah, I think they picked the

01:03:12.989 --> 01:03:16.349
Fire Engine Red because of their name, the Chiefs,

01:03:16.349 --> 01:03:18.670
which is named after, was it William Bartle?

01:03:18.710 --> 01:03:22.070
H. Roe Bartle. H. Roe Bartle. Yeah. The guy that

01:03:22.070 --> 01:03:24.829
Bartle Hall is named after. Yes. But I would

01:03:24.829 --> 01:03:28.480
say, like, look at the color of... Kind of drying

01:03:28.480 --> 01:03:31.860
blood. And that dullish red it has. I'd like

01:03:31.860 --> 01:03:35.400
to see that. I'd see that. Kind of like a mix

01:03:35.400 --> 01:03:38.940
between the Commanders and the Browns. Yeah.

01:03:39.039 --> 01:03:41.880
And have some black accents. Not even the Browns.

01:03:41.880 --> 01:03:44.159
Maybe Tampa Bay and the Commanders or something

01:03:44.159 --> 01:03:49.179
like that. So do you want to go into some game

01:03:49.179 --> 01:03:51.940
predictions? Let's do it. All right. First off,

01:03:51.960 --> 01:03:59.409
Seahawks versus the 49ers. I'm going to go Seahawks.

01:04:01.150 --> 01:04:03.690
Niners seem a little happy and full of themselves

01:04:03.690 --> 01:04:08.070
now. I just get the impression Seahawks are taking

01:04:08.070 --> 01:04:10.730
it more seriously. Okay, I'm going to mark this

01:04:10.730 --> 01:04:16.949
stuff down. I'm going 49ers. Just because I don't

01:04:16.949 --> 01:04:23.010
believe in Sam Darnold. Then after we do these

01:04:23.010 --> 01:04:25.030
predictions, I want to make a point that we're

01:04:25.030 --> 01:04:27.369
talking about on the way down here. Okay. All

01:04:27.369 --> 01:04:32.420
right. Panthers versus Bucs. Wow. We can go Panthers.

01:04:32.579 --> 01:04:35.619
And all of these are... I'm going to go Panthers

01:04:35.619 --> 01:04:38.340
as well. No, you know what? No, I'm going Bucs.

01:04:39.340 --> 01:04:44.780
Okay. Okay, here's the deal. All of these are

01:04:44.780 --> 01:04:48.480
playoff implications, if not deciding the division.

01:04:48.719 --> 01:04:52.840
All these games. Chargers versus Broncos. Now,

01:04:52.840 --> 01:04:56.079
the Broncos have won the division. I'm going

01:04:56.079 --> 01:05:02.199
to... I'm going to go Broncos. I think I'm going

01:05:02.199 --> 01:05:07.219
to go Broncos, too. It's in Denver, so. All right.

01:05:07.239 --> 01:05:09.679
And then finally, the Ravens versus the Steelers.

01:05:09.699 --> 01:05:12.579
I'm going to go Ravens because Dean. Yeah, yeah.

01:05:12.739 --> 01:05:19.340
What's his name? Dacarius. Dacalin Zacarius Metcalf.

01:05:19.639 --> 01:05:23.320
Dacalin Zacarius Metcalf will be out for the

01:05:23.320 --> 01:05:26.760
until future notice. Yeah. Until further notice,

01:05:26.860 --> 01:05:31.969
yeah. And he has lost. the future contract monies.

01:05:31.969 --> 01:05:35.510
Yes, he has. It's roughly going to cost him $45

01:05:35.510 --> 01:05:38.769
million in future earnings. And I'm so happy.

01:05:38.969 --> 01:05:41.909
I'm so happy that he fucked up his life to that

01:05:41.909 --> 01:05:44.809
degree. I think it's awesome. And just because

01:05:44.809 --> 01:05:47.130
someone's calling him by his real name, what

01:05:47.130 --> 01:05:49.690
is it? Yeah, DeCalin Zacarias Metcalf. DeCalin

01:05:49.690 --> 01:05:52.449
Zacarias Metcalf, okay. He doesn't like that

01:05:52.449 --> 01:05:56.170
name, Zacarian? DeCalin Zacarias, yeah. Apparently

01:05:56.170 --> 01:05:58.809
that makes him start punching people. Oh, okay,

01:05:58.969 --> 01:06:02.050
well, that's good to know. If I ever need a couple

01:06:02.050 --> 01:06:06.769
of bucks, I know what to do. So, every one of

01:06:06.769 --> 01:06:09.210
these games I just referred to are games that

01:06:09.210 --> 01:06:12.000
are... Really big playoff implications. Yeah.

01:06:12.159 --> 01:06:15.739
So how did, at the first of the year, Seahawks

01:06:15.739 --> 01:06:19.619
and Niners, how did they pick that game for the

01:06:19.619 --> 01:06:22.900
final game? I wouldn't have picked it. No, me

01:06:22.900 --> 01:06:24.900
neither. How about the Panthers versus the Bucs?

01:06:24.980 --> 01:06:27.320
No kidding. At the first of the year, it would

01:06:27.320 --> 01:06:28.920
be like Bucs are going to be strong, Panthers

01:06:28.920 --> 01:06:31.139
are going to be an also -ran. But somehow they

01:06:31.139 --> 01:06:35.880
knew. Somehow they knew. Or how about the Ravens

01:06:35.880 --> 01:06:39.000
versus the Steelers? Yeah. Chargers versus the

01:06:39.000 --> 01:06:43.039
Broncos isn't quite so obvious. But what I want

01:06:43.039 --> 01:06:44.860
to bring up, and you and I talked about this

01:06:44.860 --> 01:06:47.900
a little bit, is, okay, these games aren't great,

01:06:47.920 --> 01:06:50.539
but these games are heavily influenced. Because

01:06:50.539 --> 01:06:52.880
every time you see they need a game like you're

01:06:52.880 --> 01:06:54.659
talking about Buffalo, go ahead about what you

01:06:54.659 --> 01:06:57.860
were saying. I was watching like the second half

01:06:57.860 --> 01:07:00.539
of the Buffalo -Philly game, and Buffalo was

01:07:00.539 --> 01:07:02.440
playing like crap and couldn't get much done.

01:07:02.519 --> 01:07:05.280
Of course, Philly was playing about as badly.

01:07:05.519 --> 01:07:11.239
Yeah. But late in the fourth quarter, when the

01:07:11.239 --> 01:07:15.619
Bills were down by two scores, they got the ball

01:07:15.619 --> 01:07:17.860
back and they were driving. Now, if that drive

01:07:17.860 --> 01:07:20.139
failed, then the game's pretty much done. Yes.

01:07:20.559 --> 01:07:22.820
I know exactly what you're talking about. I watched

01:07:22.820 --> 01:07:26.139
this game too. But as the game went along, suddenly

01:07:26.139 --> 01:07:29.639
the penalties started going against Philly that

01:07:29.639 --> 01:07:32.780
prolonged the Bills' drive and helped them keep

01:07:32.780 --> 01:07:36.340
the drive going, keep the drive going. What would

01:07:36.340 --> 01:07:39.780
you call them? Point of view penalties. These

01:07:39.780 --> 01:07:42.179
are judgment penalties. Like we were talking

01:07:42.179 --> 01:07:44.860
about before about how holding and pass interference

01:07:44.860 --> 01:07:47.960
is really a judgment call. Very much so. There's

01:07:47.960 --> 01:07:51.400
no textbook one. Unless they're like all over

01:07:51.400 --> 01:07:54.719
them and humping their back or something. But

01:07:54.719 --> 01:07:56.880
a lot of these are just subject. You see it go

01:07:56.880 --> 01:08:00.039
on, go on, and go on. And they have the player

01:08:00.039 --> 01:08:02.539
trained to where this is okay. And then at a

01:08:02.539 --> 01:08:05.530
critical time. They call it. And it's almost

01:08:05.530 --> 01:08:08.190
like they bait the player. Going, it's okay,

01:08:08.289 --> 01:08:11.590
go ahead, go ahead. You're not going to call

01:08:11.590 --> 01:08:15.269
it today until it matters. And that is a perfect

01:08:15.269 --> 01:08:19.770
setup if you want to influence the game is get

01:08:19.770 --> 01:08:23.210
the players to be relaxed about breaking rules.

01:08:24.319 --> 01:08:27.279
and then selectively enforce them when you want

01:08:27.279 --> 01:08:29.039
to make the game go a certain way. And at that

01:08:29.039 --> 01:08:31.680
point, the players are so used to doing the wrong

01:08:31.680 --> 01:08:34.199
thing that they can't stop. Yeah, exactly. Like,

01:08:34.220 --> 01:08:37.159
Jawan Taylor can't manage to line up on the actual

01:08:37.159 --> 01:08:39.199
line of scrimmage because he's so used to lining

01:08:39.199 --> 01:08:41.760
up too far back. And they let him time after

01:08:41.760 --> 01:08:44.439
time because when the moment's right, then they'll

01:08:44.439 --> 01:08:47.000
flag him to influence the game in a certain direction.

01:08:47.199 --> 01:08:50.060
Well, look at Dee Ford in the famous 2019 championship

01:08:50.060 --> 01:08:54.100
game. Yeah. Yeah. Something else I noticed about

01:08:54.100 --> 01:08:56.859
the Buffalo game. Or 2018. 2018. 2018, yeah.

01:08:58.979 --> 01:09:02.199
Is a lot of these penalties, the flag doesn't

01:09:02.199 --> 01:09:04.380
come out until the play's over. That's what pisses

01:09:04.380 --> 01:09:06.520
me off. And they've already seen how the play

01:09:06.520 --> 01:09:08.960
ends up. And if it worked out the way the officials

01:09:08.960 --> 01:09:10.560
wanted to, they wouldn't have bothered to even

01:09:10.560 --> 01:09:13.479
throw that flag. Exactly. But, you know, say

01:09:13.479 --> 01:09:16.819
it was an incomplete pass on Josh Allen's part,

01:09:16.880 --> 01:09:19.699
it brings up fourth down. Then they'll throw

01:09:19.699 --> 01:09:21.979
the flag and say, oh yeah, during the play I

01:09:21.979 --> 01:09:24.359
saw this thing over here. They didn't throw the

01:09:24.359 --> 01:09:26.260
flag at that point, which they're supposed to.

01:09:26.300 --> 01:09:28.399
You're supposed to throw the flag at the point

01:09:28.399 --> 01:09:30.960
on the field where the penalty occurs. But they

01:09:30.960 --> 01:09:32.819
wait until the play is over to see how it works

01:09:32.819 --> 01:09:34.899
out. Then decide whether they're going to flag

01:09:34.899 --> 01:09:37.439
that penalty. So the flag comes out late. And

01:09:37.439 --> 01:09:39.520
I started remembering, that's been happening

01:09:39.520 --> 01:09:42.060
all season. Especially in the fourth quarter,

01:09:42.260 --> 01:09:45.000
especially on an important drive, the flags come

01:09:45.000 --> 01:09:48.340
out late. Because I hear the announcers, okay,

01:09:48.520 --> 01:09:52.060
he's got the pass, oh wait, look, now there's

01:09:52.060 --> 01:09:54.359
a flag. The officials are talking and now the

01:09:54.359 --> 01:09:57.960
flag comes out. Over and over and over, the flag

01:09:57.960 --> 01:10:00.779
is thrown after everything is already done. Yeah,

01:10:00.840 --> 01:10:02.800
and that's when they figure out what they need

01:10:02.800 --> 01:10:04.619
to do. The narrative is like, well, they're up

01:10:04.619 --> 01:10:08.039
two by two points, or two scores. We need to

01:10:08.039 --> 01:10:09.760
stop this right now. We need to get it within

01:10:09.760 --> 01:10:11.680
one score or people are going to stop watching.

01:10:11.800 --> 01:10:15.729
Yeah. And they made sure that the Buffalo had

01:10:15.729 --> 01:10:18.130
every chance to score, and Buffalo screwed it

01:10:18.130 --> 01:10:20.529
up and couldn't get it done. But the officials

01:10:20.529 --> 01:10:22.810
in the league office tried really hard to make

01:10:22.810 --> 01:10:24.890
sure Buffalo could get it within one score. Well,

01:10:24.909 --> 01:10:27.869
if Josh Allen didn't wet down his leg, they would

01:10:27.869 --> 01:10:29.989
have got it. The receiver is wide open. He just

01:10:29.989 --> 01:10:32.590
could not make it to him. He overthrew him. And

01:10:32.590 --> 01:10:34.649
I've also noticed how the players have stopped

01:10:34.649 --> 01:10:38.210
objecting to these penalties because they already

01:10:38.210 --> 01:10:40.819
know this is how it goes. They've already been

01:10:40.819 --> 01:10:43.079
told all season long that you will get called

01:10:43.079 --> 01:10:45.699
for penalties at the right moment to make the

01:10:45.699 --> 01:10:47.680
game to go in whatever direction the gambling

01:10:47.680 --> 01:10:51.800
partners want it to go. So no sense in screaming

01:10:51.800 --> 01:10:53.880
and yelling on the field because we've already

01:10:53.880 --> 01:10:55.840
told you this is going to happen. You've just

01:10:55.840 --> 01:10:58.119
got to get used to it. If you want to stay playing

01:10:58.119 --> 01:11:00.600
in the NFL and get that big paycheck, you'll

01:11:00.600 --> 01:11:03.840
put up with it and you'll shut up about it. That's

01:11:03.840 --> 01:11:06.380
what's happening. Oh, yeah. How about this? Okay.

01:11:06.760 --> 01:11:09.319
Sean McDermott, I haven't heard a lot of shit

01:11:09.319 --> 01:11:12.600
on him, right? But here's the deal. Why do you

01:11:12.600 --> 01:11:16.939
go for two in that situation? You're at home,

01:11:16.960 --> 01:11:20.600
and the other team's playing like shit. There's

01:11:20.600 --> 01:11:23.199
nothing that screams, I don't have any faith

01:11:23.199 --> 01:11:25.619
in you, more. People go, oh, no, he has faith

01:11:25.619 --> 01:11:26.939
in him. He thinks you're going to make it. No,

01:11:27.039 --> 01:11:30.039
no, no, no, no. No, that means we've got to just

01:11:30.039 --> 01:11:33.239
get this horrible thing over with. Yeah. Yeah.

01:11:36.310 --> 01:11:41.069
Yeah, there's supposed to be a formula or a chart

01:11:41.069 --> 01:11:43.550
or something for when you go for two. Well, no,

01:11:43.710 --> 01:11:45.930
and that's what I was going by. You're at home,

01:11:46.069 --> 01:11:48.930
you don't. You go for the tie. Yeah. You go for

01:11:48.930 --> 01:11:53.210
the tie, and then, I mean, case in point, look

01:11:53.210 --> 01:11:55.989
at the Chiefs in the famous 13 seconds. Yeah.

01:11:56.050 --> 01:11:59.270
They went for the tie. And they got it. I mean,

01:11:59.289 --> 01:12:01.409
of course, time was working against them, yeah.

01:12:01.630 --> 01:12:04.170
But they went for the tie, right? Yeah. Okay,

01:12:04.270 --> 01:12:08.630
so go for the tie when you're at home because

01:12:08.630 --> 01:12:10.689
you have faith in your team and especially at

01:12:10.689 --> 01:12:12.970
home. Yeah, that's been the prevailing wisdom

01:12:12.970 --> 01:12:15.810
for as long as I can remember. You have hold

01:12:15.810 --> 01:12:18.430
field advantage, so go for the tie, go for overtime.

01:12:18.829 --> 01:12:21.050
Now, on the road, it's okay to go for two. On

01:12:21.050 --> 01:12:23.119
the road, you take the chances. Because your

01:12:23.119 --> 01:12:25.739
chances of winning on the road in overtime are

01:12:25.739 --> 01:12:28.279
considerably less. So it's like, let's try to

01:12:28.279 --> 01:12:29.760
do it right now. If you do it right now, you

01:12:29.760 --> 01:12:31.560
won. If not, then you lost, and that's it. Go

01:12:31.560 --> 01:12:35.359
home. But on the other hand, a two -point conversion

01:12:35.359 --> 01:12:38.739
gives endless possibilities for a bullshit penalty

01:12:38.739 --> 01:12:41.819
by the officials, whereas a kick doesn't. Yes.

01:12:42.319 --> 01:12:45.239
And I was looking for that. Yeah. Going for two

01:12:45.239 --> 01:12:48.680
means the officials can step in and influence

01:12:48.680 --> 01:12:51.260
the game again. Yes. But a kick, you either make

01:12:51.260 --> 01:12:53.319
it or you don't. Well, I mean, look, it would

01:12:53.319 --> 01:12:55.060
have worked, though. I mean, I have to give him

01:12:55.060 --> 01:12:57.460
that, but Josh Allen just had a little happy

01:12:57.460 --> 01:12:59.760
feet there. Yeah, he just threw it way out to

01:12:59.760 --> 01:13:03.460
the left. That throw could not have been worse.

01:13:03.600 --> 01:13:07.239
Yeah. And at least Josh Allen was a man like

01:13:07.239 --> 01:13:09.039
Mahomes does, you know, and goes, you know what,

01:13:09.100 --> 01:13:12.600
me. I missed him. He was open. I missed him.

01:13:12.659 --> 01:13:14.680
And Josh Allen did do that, and I appreciate

01:13:14.680 --> 01:13:16.579
that. He took the blame like he should have.

01:13:17.340 --> 01:13:21.310
So, all right. But, yeah, I question McDermott,

01:13:21.329 --> 01:13:23.409
and maybe he's one of the reasons they haven't

01:13:23.409 --> 01:13:25.670
made it to the promised land. Maybe he's a big

01:13:25.670 --> 01:13:29.350
reason. I don't know. I've got a cute little

01:13:29.350 --> 01:13:33.590
story here. Okay. The first openly gay football

01:13:33.590 --> 01:13:37.829
player, Las Vegas defensive back Carl Nassib,

01:13:37.850 --> 01:13:41.550
or Naysib. I think it's Nassib, isn't it? I'm

01:13:41.550 --> 01:13:43.050
not sure. I think that's how someone else, yeah.

01:13:43.210 --> 01:13:46.310
Yeah. In a game in the 2020 season against the

01:13:46.310 --> 01:13:48.449
Cleveland Browns, Nassib was getting annoyed

01:13:48.449 --> 01:13:50.869
that they kept running bootlegs on the opposite

01:13:50.869 --> 01:13:53.390
side of him. So he yelled, hey, stop with all

01:13:53.390 --> 01:13:57.789
the gay ass bootlegs. The entire Cleveland Browns

01:13:57.789 --> 01:14:02.550
offensive line yelled, you can't say that. That

01:14:02.550 --> 01:14:09.010
was funny. And this was his words, not mine.

01:14:09.250 --> 01:14:13.029
Yeah, that's funny. Do you want to go into Stephon

01:14:13.029 --> 01:14:16.960
Diggs? Oh, yeah. All right. They covered up the

01:14:16.960 --> 01:14:20.739
crime in the preseason, but they can't cover

01:14:20.739 --> 01:14:22.779
this one. Yeah, but this one came out big and

01:14:22.779 --> 01:14:26.619
bold. Yep. New England's paint tree rocks. Wide

01:14:26.619 --> 01:14:29.500
receiver Stefan Diggs is facing a felony charge

01:14:29.500 --> 01:14:32.800
of strangulation and a misdemeanor charge of

01:14:32.800 --> 01:14:35.420
assault with an alleged incident on December

01:14:35.420 --> 01:14:38.619
2nd. So this happened more recently than I thought.

01:14:38.720 --> 01:14:40.960
I thought this happened in fall somehow. Yeah.

01:14:40.960 --> 01:14:44.159
No, it happened a few weeks ago. Mm -hmm. A motion

01:14:44.159 --> 01:14:46.779
hearing took place Tuesday morning. It actually

01:14:46.779 --> 01:14:49.260
happened last year. Yeah, I guess it is last

01:14:49.260 --> 01:14:52.420
year. All the things you haven't done since last

01:14:52.420 --> 01:14:57.840
year. I know. A motion hearing took place Tuesday

01:14:57.840 --> 01:15:00.079
morning at the Denham, Massachusetts District

01:15:00.079 --> 01:15:03.199
Court. Diggs Arraignments is scheduled for January

01:15:03.199 --> 01:15:06.800
23rd. which is the Friday before the AFC Championship

01:15:06.800 --> 01:15:09.020
game. I don't think he's going to have to worry

01:15:09.020 --> 01:15:12.060
about it. No. According to the police report,

01:15:12.220 --> 01:15:14.220
a woman went to the police, and it was a woman.

01:15:14.260 --> 01:15:17.260
I thought it was a man. Yeah. Okay. December

01:15:17.260 --> 01:15:21.180
16th ensured that he was working as a private

01:15:21.180 --> 01:15:24.739
chef on the date that the incident in question

01:15:24.739 --> 01:15:27.880
when Diggs entered her unlocked bedroom and allegedly

01:15:27.880 --> 01:15:30.220
smacked her across the face after they discussed

01:15:30.220 --> 01:15:33.590
money he owed her. Yeah, she wanted to be paid

01:15:33.590 --> 01:15:36.489
and he said he didn't owe her. Yeah. And he got

01:15:36.489 --> 01:15:40.369
violent about it. According to police, she said

01:15:40.369 --> 01:15:43.529
she attempted to push Diggs away and he allegedly

01:15:43.529 --> 01:15:45.829
tried to choke her with his elbow around her

01:15:45.829 --> 01:15:48.029
neck and later threw her on the bed and said

01:15:48.029 --> 01:15:53.489
lies when she had not been paid. So, after the

01:15:53.489 --> 01:15:56.250
alleged assault, she left her position at the

01:15:56.250 --> 01:15:58.710
residence to stay with a friend. When the woman

01:15:58.710 --> 01:16:03.609
returned December 9th to retrieve... with a friend

01:16:03.609 --> 01:16:06.649
to retrieve her money. The woman returned. Diggs

01:16:06.649 --> 01:16:09.489
referred to her as his assistant, who told the

01:16:09.489 --> 01:16:12.050
woman she had to sign a non -disclosure agreement

01:16:12.050 --> 01:16:14.770
before she would be paid. She did not sign it

01:16:14.770 --> 01:16:17.649
for the report. Isn't that dirty? Yeah. Yeah,

01:16:17.710 --> 01:16:20.069
I won't pay you unless you agree to cover up

01:16:20.069 --> 01:16:24.390
my crime. Yeah. What a scumbag. Yeah, and she

01:16:24.390 --> 01:16:26.920
very wisely said, no, that's all right. I think

01:16:26.920 --> 01:16:28.520
there's more money on the backside of this. There's

01:16:28.520 --> 01:16:30.779
more of this, but I think we got to the gist

01:16:30.779 --> 01:16:35.000
of it. Yeah. Yeah. Looks like Buffalo knew what

01:16:35.000 --> 01:16:37.000
they were doing to get rid of this guy. Yes.

01:16:37.140 --> 01:16:40.319
Yeah. And also, Stevon Diggs was also malcontent

01:16:40.319 --> 01:16:42.960
anyhow. He was getting on there and openly dogging

01:16:42.960 --> 01:16:45.560
Josh Allens and the whole organization constantly.

01:16:45.960 --> 01:16:48.399
Why would you keep someone like that? Yeah. They're

01:16:48.399 --> 01:16:49.680
like, no, you know what? You can have all the

01:16:49.680 --> 01:16:51.460
talent in the world. Then he went to the Texans,

01:16:51.460 --> 01:16:53.859
right? Yeah. How did that turn out? They let

01:16:53.859 --> 01:16:57.689
him go too. Yeah. So. So now he's with the Patriots,

01:16:57.909 --> 01:17:01.390
and we'll see what happens, because we'll see

01:17:01.390 --> 01:17:03.609
how much longer he's with them. Yeah, Stevon

01:17:03.609 --> 01:17:06.250
Diggs is one of these guys that are just, the

01:17:06.250 --> 01:17:08.449
longer he goes along, the more he's flaming out,

01:17:08.510 --> 01:17:11.869
and the more he's showing that he's not going

01:17:11.869 --> 01:17:15.210
to probably last in this. Yeah, the rate he's

01:17:15.210 --> 01:17:17.210
going, he's going to wind up leaving the league

01:17:17.210 --> 01:17:22.880
to go to jail. In the preseason, he was photographed

01:17:22.880 --> 01:17:26.460
with a big -ass bag of pink cocaine that he was

01:17:26.460 --> 01:17:29.319
trying to give to several of the young ladies

01:17:29.319 --> 01:17:32.140
around him. And basically, pink cocaine isn't

01:17:32.140 --> 01:17:36.579
cocaine, but it's the new date rape drug. And

01:17:36.579 --> 01:17:39.760
it's a mild hallucinogen, and it kind of takes

01:17:39.760 --> 01:17:41.460
you out of your head, and you really have no

01:17:41.460 --> 01:17:45.220
control. And there he was with like three or

01:17:45.220 --> 01:17:47.560
four... His nickname is Bill Cosby. Yeah. And

01:17:47.560 --> 01:17:49.460
there he was with three or four women on this

01:17:49.460 --> 01:17:55.779
yacht. And everyone knows exactly what he's trying

01:17:55.779 --> 01:17:57.640
to do. He's going to get them messed up and then

01:17:57.640 --> 01:18:00.399
rape them. Yeah. Which is what Stefan Diggs is.

01:18:00.659 --> 01:18:02.720
Yep. That's the kind of guy he is. And I'm surprised

01:18:02.720 --> 01:18:04.840
none of this was sexual. I really thought when

01:18:04.840 --> 01:18:07.520
I found out it was a woman that, because when

01:18:07.520 --> 01:18:09.500
it first came out, it was a man and he was a

01:18:09.500 --> 01:18:12.359
trainer. And this is the first reports I got.

01:18:12.460 --> 01:18:14.989
And then it was a chef, but it was a man. And

01:18:14.989 --> 01:18:16.850
now as a chef, there's a woman that was living

01:18:16.850 --> 01:18:20.529
on his residence. Yep. Yeah, I think Stefan Diggs'

01:18:20.649 --> 01:18:24.170
crew was trying to spin it. Yes. And it's like,

01:18:24.229 --> 01:18:26.050
let's spin it this way and see if we can make

01:18:26.050 --> 01:18:28.010
it go away, and they couldn't make it go away,

01:18:28.029 --> 01:18:30.529
so now the truth comes out. No, this lady's mad,

01:18:30.590 --> 01:18:34.729
and she should be. Yeah. So, okay, earlier we

01:18:34.729 --> 01:18:37.529
spoke about the Truman Sports Complex, right,

01:18:37.609 --> 01:18:39.609
and how nothing was developed around it. Yeah.

01:18:39.689 --> 01:18:41.949
I want to hear a list of everything that's been

01:18:41.949 --> 01:18:45.520
developed. Oh, yes. And this isn't even all of

01:18:45.520 --> 01:18:47.560
it. There's some of it. There are so many things.

01:18:47.779 --> 01:18:51.140
I'll bet. I couldn't even get to them all. So

01:18:51.140 --> 01:18:54.520
these are the broad stroke, bigger ones. Okay.

01:18:54.640 --> 01:18:56.960
List of all that's been developed or revitalized

01:18:56.960 --> 01:19:02.100
before Truman Sports Complex. All right. And

01:19:02.100 --> 01:19:04.859
this would be called the Big Bang Wave in Kansas

01:19:04.859 --> 01:19:08.439
City, 2005 to 2011. Not all of them, like I said.

01:19:08.619 --> 01:19:11.760
Yeah. This period marked the shift from a ghost

01:19:11.760 --> 01:19:15.119
town downtown to a destination, which it did.

01:19:15.220 --> 01:19:17.619
They did that, and they did it good. The Power

01:19:17.619 --> 01:19:20.859
and Light District, $850 million plus, completed

01:19:20.859 --> 01:19:24.340
in 2007. It replaced blocks of surface parking

01:19:24.340 --> 01:19:26.680
with an eight -block entertainment district.

01:19:27.279 --> 01:19:32.100
T -Mobile Center opened in 2007 as a sprint center,

01:19:32.199 --> 01:19:34.680
providing a modern arena for major concert and

01:19:34.680 --> 01:19:38.039
sporting events. The Kauffman Center for the

01:19:38.039 --> 01:19:42.000
Performing Arts. Yeah. Let's see. They did not

01:19:42.000 --> 01:19:45.859
give money on the T -Mobile Center, so I don't

01:19:45.859 --> 01:19:47.300
think they know, but it would have been well

01:19:47.300 --> 01:19:51.119
up in the triple millions. Yeah. $413 million.

01:19:51.359 --> 01:19:54.180
It opened in 2011, becoming an architectural

01:19:54.180 --> 01:19:57.300
icon for the city. The IRS and Federal Reserve

01:19:57.300 --> 01:20:00.260
Building. Massive relocations downtown and Union

01:20:00.260 --> 01:20:02.659
Station area brought thousands of daytime workers.

01:20:03.779 --> 01:20:09.039
The connectivity wave, 2012 to 2020, and it made

01:20:09.039 --> 01:20:13.739
the city more livable and walkable. The KC streetcars

01:20:13.739 --> 01:20:18.300
in 2016 till current. So the current initial

01:20:18.300 --> 01:20:21.859
2 .2 mile starter line spurred an estimated 4

01:20:21.859 --> 01:20:28.579
billion. And then, let's see here, the conversion

01:20:28.579 --> 01:20:31.180
boom. The Power and Light Building, the Commerce

01:20:31.180 --> 01:20:33.199
Tower, the Grandview Apartments will redevelop

01:20:33.199 --> 01:20:38.119
into luxury apartments. The Crossroads Art District

01:20:38.119 --> 01:20:40.720
transformed from a collective of empty warehouses

01:20:40.720 --> 01:20:44.300
into a thriving hub. The Global Stage Wave, current

01:20:44.300 --> 01:20:46.960
redevelopment is focused on massive infrastructure

01:20:46.960 --> 01:20:50.140
for the international events like the World Cup.

01:20:50.340 --> 01:20:55.079
The KCI Airport Terminal, $1 .5 billion. The

01:20:55.079 --> 01:20:58.020
KPCP Stadium, which does not have a price on

01:20:58.020 --> 01:21:00.930
it either. The streetcar expansion currently,

01:21:01.130 --> 01:21:03.670
which will be another couple billion probably.

01:21:04.149 --> 01:21:07.810
And South Loop Link, a planned cap over I -670

01:21:07.810 --> 01:21:11.189
to create a 5 .5 and a half acre park, stretched

01:21:11.189 --> 01:21:13.289
together with the crossroads in the Central Business

01:21:13.289 --> 01:21:16.789
District. And that one right there is a definite

01:21:16.789 --> 01:21:20.029
two. We have the private investments too that

01:21:20.029 --> 01:21:23.130
they couldn't tap into. And that would be like

01:21:23.130 --> 01:21:24.930
the Rock Island Bridge, and that would also be

01:21:24.930 --> 01:21:28.270
like the new Barney Alice Plaza slash amphitheater.

01:21:28.489 --> 01:21:31.590
What about the Ferris wheel? Oh, the Ferris wheel,

01:21:31.649 --> 01:21:34.250
too, yeah. Like I said, this is just the broad

01:21:34.250 --> 01:21:37.989
streams. So all of this has been done, and the

01:21:37.989 --> 01:21:40.609
point I'm making here is some of it is private

01:21:40.609 --> 01:21:44.250
money, yes. But they figured out a way to get

01:21:44.250 --> 01:21:46.670
all of this done. They worked at it. They worked

01:21:46.670 --> 01:21:48.649
hard. There was a lot of negotiations behind

01:21:48.649 --> 01:21:50.470
the scenes. There was tax incentives. There was

01:21:50.470 --> 01:21:52.430
this and that. How come that couldn't have been

01:21:52.430 --> 01:21:57.529
done with the Truman Sports Complex? One possible.

01:21:58.439 --> 01:22:01.300
Now that I'm learning how the Chiefs deal is

01:22:01.300 --> 01:22:05.939
with the state of Kansas, the Chiefs are going

01:22:05.939 --> 01:22:09.520
to get every penny of income generated in that

01:22:09.520 --> 01:22:12.819
Dome Stadium. Whether the Chiefs are there or

01:22:12.819 --> 01:22:14.920
not, no matter who's there, no matter who's performing,

01:22:15.119 --> 01:22:17.260
no matter what it is, they're getting every penny.

01:22:17.279 --> 01:22:19.479
To me, it tells me this. I'm glad that Kansas

01:22:19.479 --> 01:22:21.779
got them. I am too. I mean, they're kind of leeches.

01:22:22.100 --> 01:22:23.920
I'm sorry. They're still going to be the Kansas

01:22:23.920 --> 01:22:25.880
City Chiefs. That's all I give a shit about.

01:22:25.939 --> 01:22:30.579
Yeah. But I'm thinking that all through the years,

01:22:30.640 --> 01:22:32.880
the chiefs have been telling the county, hey,

01:22:33.020 --> 01:22:35.939
develop this area around us. And the county's

01:22:35.939 --> 01:22:37.720
saying, okay. And then the chief's saying, oh,

01:22:37.739 --> 01:22:40.699
and we get every penny of it. And maybe that's

01:22:40.699 --> 01:22:43.119
been the stumbling block is they wanted the county

01:22:43.119 --> 01:22:45.579
to develop that whole area and get nothing from

01:22:45.579 --> 01:22:48.579
it. The chiefs wanted every penny. And that is

01:22:48.579 --> 01:22:50.699
probably a really good answer, I would think.

01:22:50.819 --> 01:22:54.359
And you know what? If that's the case, then I'm

01:22:54.359 --> 01:22:57.039
sorry, Missouri. We're better off without them.

01:22:57.439 --> 01:22:59.560
There's more things we can do with our money

01:22:59.560 --> 01:23:04.180
than give them every penny. Because that's the

01:23:04.180 --> 01:23:06.359
deal they have with Kansas. And they're building

01:23:06.359 --> 01:23:10.020
their own practice facility, team offices, and

01:23:10.020 --> 01:23:12.880
entertainment district in Olathe. The Chiefs

01:23:12.880 --> 01:23:14.439
announced they're spending a billion dollars

01:23:14.439 --> 01:23:16.579
of their own money there. And they're going to

01:23:16.579 --> 01:23:19.020
get every penny ever made there. I think that's

01:23:19.020 --> 01:23:20.859
what they wanted Jackson County to do with the

01:23:20.859 --> 01:23:24.000
Truman Sports Complex is you develop it, we get

01:23:24.000 --> 01:23:27.979
the money. You can get your taxes off of whatever's

01:23:27.979 --> 01:23:29.859
bought and sold here, but we get the income.

01:23:30.119 --> 01:23:33.659
And I think Jackson County said no. And you know

01:23:33.659 --> 01:23:36.039
what? Do you agree with that? I do. I would,

01:23:36.119 --> 01:23:38.960
yeah. Because it's just highway robbery. Oh,

01:23:38.979 --> 01:23:40.899
yeah, especially that you knew that Kansas was

01:23:40.899 --> 01:23:42.779
going to get them. Now, if you thought they were

01:23:42.779 --> 01:23:45.859
going to go to another team or another state

01:23:45.859 --> 01:23:49.079
or another city, then no, then you need to give

01:23:49.079 --> 01:23:51.380
in. But since they knew Kansas was going to get

01:23:51.380 --> 01:23:53.680
them, they're like, let them pay for it. It's

01:23:53.680 --> 01:23:56.060
fine with me. Because what Jackson County could

01:23:56.060 --> 01:23:58.699
have done was spent like $2 or $3 billion developing

01:23:58.699 --> 01:24:02.479
that area and then make a couple hundred million

01:24:02.479 --> 01:24:04.760
in taxes back and then the Chiefs leave anyway.

01:24:05.039 --> 01:24:07.659
And now the county is stuck with this giant entertainment

01:24:07.659 --> 01:24:09.600
district that no one's going to go to because

01:24:09.600 --> 01:24:12.079
the teams are gone. So it wouldn't have made

01:24:12.079 --> 01:24:15.159
sense. I would like to do a little add -on note.

01:24:15.760 --> 01:24:18.119
Kansas' deadline for the Royals in coming up

01:24:18.119 --> 01:24:21.180
with a plan was last night. So it appears that

01:24:21.180 --> 01:24:24.060
Kansas City will retain the Royals if things

01:24:24.060 --> 01:24:26.479
stay currently like that. Yeah, but they're definitely

01:24:26.479 --> 01:24:28.399
leaving Truman Sports Complex. Yeah, Union Station

01:24:28.399 --> 01:24:31.579
is backing Washington Square heavily. They said

01:24:31.579 --> 01:24:33.699
they want them there. They said that this is

01:24:33.699 --> 01:24:35.659
like the perfect location. I agree with them.

01:24:35.659 --> 01:24:38.380
You've got Halls Crown Center, and then you have

01:24:38.380 --> 01:24:41.340
Union Station. You have the Crossroads. You have

01:24:41.340 --> 01:24:43.560
Power and Light, everything right there. But

01:24:43.560 --> 01:24:46.460
the main thing is what makes a baseball stadium

01:24:46.460 --> 01:24:48.779
a baseball stadium anymore is it's downtown.

01:24:49.399 --> 01:24:52.079
You look over there, you see the skyline, and,

01:24:52.199 --> 01:24:55.460
I mean, it's a good thing. And the reason is

01:24:55.460 --> 01:24:57.859
is because there's so many games, you need to

01:24:57.859 --> 01:25:00.079
get more reasons for people to come out. Yeah,

01:25:00.159 --> 01:25:02.319
yeah. If you make the area a place where people

01:25:02.319 --> 01:25:04.899
are going to be anyway, then just deciding to

01:25:04.899 --> 01:25:06.779
go to a game is pretty simple. It's like, hey,

01:25:06.859 --> 01:25:08.659
it's only five blocks that way. Let's just go

01:25:08.659 --> 01:25:10.420
catch the rest of the game. Yeah, what the hell.

01:25:10.560 --> 01:25:13.060
Yeah, we can come down here and then go to the

01:25:13.060 --> 01:25:15.239
game if we wanted to, you know. Yeah. Yeah, I

01:25:15.239 --> 01:25:17.680
mean. There are a lot of things I don't do just

01:25:17.680 --> 01:25:19.779
because it's inconvenient. Yeah. So the more

01:25:19.779 --> 01:25:21.779
convenient you make it, the more likely people

01:25:21.779 --> 01:25:23.739
are going to come spend their money. So downtown

01:25:23.739 --> 01:25:26.220
makes the most sense of anything. We'd go see

01:25:26.220 --> 01:25:28.479
a game. Yeah. I mean, we did a couple years ago.

01:25:28.500 --> 01:25:31.140
It was fantastic. Yeah. I'd do it again. Would

01:25:31.140 --> 01:25:33.520
you? Yeah. Especially downtown. I'd wear more

01:25:33.520 --> 01:25:37.039
sunblock next time. Burned. Well, the thing is,

01:25:37.039 --> 01:25:39.800
it didn't seem that bad out there. No, it didn't.

01:25:39.840 --> 01:25:42.020
But, man, I'll tell you what, that sun was stronger

01:25:42.020 --> 01:25:46.140
than it felt. Yes, it was. All right, and let's

01:25:46.140 --> 01:25:51.119
see. And finally, I have a... Do you want to

01:25:51.119 --> 01:25:54.800
go into any DK Metcalf stuff? Let's save it until

01:25:54.800 --> 01:25:56.760
next time. Okay, yeah. I mean, we've already

01:25:56.760 --> 01:26:01.079
did digs and all that stuff. Yeah. All right,

01:26:01.180 --> 01:26:03.039
how long have we got on this? About an hour and

01:26:03.039 --> 01:26:04.659
a half. All right, do you want to go ahead and

01:26:04.659 --> 01:26:07.319
cut that and then go into music creeps? Let's

01:26:07.319 --> 01:26:10.159
do it. All righty. Hey, everybody, thank you

01:26:10.159 --> 01:26:12.359
for listening. You guys are amazing. The numbers.

01:26:12.460 --> 01:26:15.260
We even got people from Birmingham, England.

01:26:15.399 --> 01:26:17.479
I like that. I'm going to go ahead and say it's

01:26:17.479 --> 01:26:19.500
the Osbournes that are listening to us. Yeah.

01:26:20.039 --> 01:26:22.760
I'm pretty sure it is. So thank you. I'm hoping

01:26:22.760 --> 01:26:25.640
it's that music reaction guy that watched Molly

01:26:25.640 --> 01:26:28.069
Boy. Oh, is he from Birmingham? Yep. Oh, it might

01:26:28.069 --> 01:26:29.909
be then. It might be Molly Boy, because I mentioned

01:26:29.909 --> 01:26:32.409
him on the podcast. Oh, yeah, yeah. No, I mentioned

01:26:32.409 --> 01:26:34.789
him a few times, too. We love the guy. And also,

01:26:34.909 --> 01:26:37.970
I've seen his personal page pop up as a suggestion.

01:26:38.170 --> 01:26:40.069
Yeah. So he might have been doing a little creeping,

01:26:40.130 --> 01:26:43.539
which we... We are fantastic with. Yes. Come

01:26:43.539 --> 01:26:45.920
on the show. We'd love to talk to you. We're

01:26:45.920 --> 01:26:47.859
big fans of yours. He likes to come over and

01:26:47.859 --> 01:26:50.079
visit the United States. Hey, if he wants to

01:26:50.079 --> 01:26:51.739
come to Kansas City, he can stay at my place.

01:26:51.859 --> 01:26:54.800
There you go. 2douchesatmail .com. This is an

01:26:54.800 --> 01:26:57.479
actual email. Yep. This isn't the bullshit ones

01:26:57.479 --> 01:26:59.840
from Excite and Lycos and all that that we used

01:26:59.840 --> 01:27:03.539

we would love to talk to you. Absolutely. And

01:27:09.600 --> 01:27:12.479
if this is the Osbournes, then hell yeah. Then

01:27:12.479 --> 01:27:15.819
you guys call in too, please. Maybe it's Jack

01:27:15.819 --> 01:27:18.100
listening. Maybe it's Tony Iommi. I mean, he

01:27:18.100 --> 01:27:19.880
used to live there. Gieser Butler, I think, lives
