WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.620
The sports bastards. The sports bastards. The

00:00:03.620 --> 00:00:07.580
sports bastards. The sports bastards. The sports

00:00:07.580 --> 00:00:17.100
bastards. The sports bastards. The following

00:00:17.100 --> 00:00:22.219
is a parody. A parody and nothing but a parody.

00:00:22.379 --> 00:00:25.480
So don't get your panties in a wad. Well, hey

00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:29.000
there, fellas. This is Lil' Skippy Bayless. And

00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:31.079
I like to say that I am a jealous little bitch,

00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:33.679
and I only mouth off about my homes and the Chiefs

00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:36.020
is because I have to latch on to something relevant

00:00:36.020 --> 00:00:39.240
as an attempt to make me relevant. But it isn't

00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:42.439
working. Well, I gotta go. I have a new Dak Prescott

00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:47.200
poster I need to run one out to. See ya! Hi there.

00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:51.979
This is your ears. Why are you listening to this

00:00:51.979 --> 00:01:08.939
garbage? I thought we were friends. And we're

00:01:08.939 --> 00:01:11.379
off and running. All right. We are the sports

00:01:11.379 --> 00:01:13.859
bastards. I am the mark portion of this sports

00:01:13.859 --> 00:01:16.459
bastard program. And I am playing the role of

00:01:16.459 --> 00:01:19.180
Topher. All right. I'm unwrapping our muffins.

00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:21.420
Oh, thank you. Hell yeah. There you go. People

00:01:21.420 --> 00:01:23.859
love that sound. We have banana nut and blueberry,

00:01:24.099 --> 00:01:27.099
two of each. Ooh. And then plus the food that's

00:01:27.099 --> 00:01:29.260
coming. Oh, we're feasting today, folks. Yeah.

00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:31.280
I got some hot coffee here. Yeah, yeah. Well,

00:01:31.340 --> 00:01:34.700
I got cold coffee, but oh well. Oops. My little

00:01:34.700 --> 00:01:38.909
coffee condom slipped off. Uh -oh. Native when

00:01:38.909 --> 00:01:40.629
the coffee condom breaks. You've got to be safe.

00:01:40.730 --> 00:01:43.930
Yes. You have to be safe. Yeah. All right. We

00:01:43.930 --> 00:01:46.430
have some interesting outcomes of some interesting

00:01:46.430 --> 00:01:49.810
games called the playoffs. Playoffs. Playoffs.

00:01:49.870 --> 00:01:54.650
In the NFL. All right. See, I think we went three

00:01:54.650 --> 00:01:56.769
and three with our predictions. You know what?

00:01:56.790 --> 00:02:01.909
I'll accept that in the first round. Yeah. Cool.

00:02:02.090 --> 00:02:05.250
Well, let's give them a table of contents. Yes.

00:02:05.290 --> 00:02:08.330
I've got a story about Mike Tomlin. Oh, I do

00:02:08.330 --> 00:02:11.110
too, but that's cool. We can incorporate them

00:02:11.110 --> 00:02:15.150
both. I have bullet points. Excellent. I have

00:02:15.150 --> 00:02:19.889
Mike Tomlin. I have Aaron Rodgers. I've got a

00:02:19.889 --> 00:02:23.050
story about the coaching vacancies and who ESPN

00:02:23.050 --> 00:02:25.650
thinks is going where. Oh, good. I'm glad you

00:02:25.650 --> 00:02:28.409
did that because I didn't have time to get any

00:02:28.409 --> 00:02:31.129
of that down. So I have the divisional round

00:02:31.129 --> 00:02:38.840
games coming up. Oh, and I've got all the longest

00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:41.780
tenured head coaches in NFL history. Oh, good,

00:02:41.900 --> 00:02:45.479
good. And I also have the Eagles and the Chiefs.

00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:48.060
Oh, yeah. Okay. Whoa, this thing is full. Both

00:02:48.060 --> 00:02:51.319
of them experienced considerable setbacks this

00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:53.560
year. Yep. But we'll get to that in a little

00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:55.460
bit. I want to know, are they both going to come

00:02:55.460 --> 00:02:58.439
back? Or is that it for a bit for both of them?

00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:00.819
Because they both have salary cap issues. True.

00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:03.080
I think they're both coming back because they're

00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:06.379
both making some changes. I do too. I mean, Spagnuolo's

00:03:06.379 --> 00:03:09.979
almost definitely gone. Philly fired their offensive

00:03:09.979 --> 00:03:13.719
coordinator. Yeah. Which he was probably relieved

00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:16.860
of duty the last few games. I think he was relieved

00:03:16.860 --> 00:03:20.389
of duty. He ain't doing shit. Well, you talked

00:03:20.389 --> 00:03:22.349
about someone that was being hugged and being,

00:03:22.409 --> 00:03:25.409
like, thrown off board. I mean, he went, like,

00:03:25.409 --> 00:03:30.030
out of nowhere. Yep. So, all right. Well, what

00:03:30.030 --> 00:03:33.909
would you want to focus in on first? I have some

00:03:33.909 --> 00:03:36.870
bullet points. Let's take care of our predictions

00:03:36.870 --> 00:03:39.469
from last week and get those done. I think that's

00:03:39.469 --> 00:03:44.889
a great idea. We selected the Rams to beat the

00:03:44.889 --> 00:03:49.620
Panthers. We are correct on that. We almost were

00:03:49.620 --> 00:03:51.740
not. Yeah, I was watching most of that game,

00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:57.280
and it really did seem to go back and forth like

00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:00.560
so many of the games did this past weekend. By

00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:02.780
the fourth quarter, suddenly the game got really

00:04:02.780 --> 00:04:04.979
tight and the scores went back and forth, and

00:04:04.979 --> 00:04:08.180
it all came down to the very end. Wow, that worked

00:04:08.180 --> 00:04:11.039
out just so amazingly well for the NFL. It's

00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:13.780
just amazing. It was so coincidental that all

00:04:13.780 --> 00:04:16.920
these games just happened to come down to. of

00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:19.259
battling fourth quarter. Yeah, and you know what

00:04:19.259 --> 00:04:22.220
is even more amazing is it seemed like there

00:04:22.220 --> 00:04:25.160
was strategic penalties in the third and fourth

00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:28.860
quarter to make that game like that. But I would

00:04:28.860 --> 00:04:32.339
never say that it's been influenced. And it's

00:04:32.339 --> 00:04:34.819
amazing how some of those plays, they'd show

00:04:34.819 --> 00:04:37.759
the instant replay, and the player was clearly

00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:41.019
committing a violation of the penalty, and not

00:04:41.019 --> 00:04:43.439
even the announcers mention it because they know

00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:44.759
none's going to happen. They know not to, yep.

00:04:45.610 --> 00:04:49.089
It's just amazing. I've seen play after play

00:04:49.089 --> 00:04:53.189
where somebody gets deliberate helmet -to -helmet

00:04:53.189 --> 00:04:55.410
contact, and they show the replay five or six

00:04:55.410 --> 00:04:57.930
times, and both announcers never even mention

00:04:57.930 --> 00:05:00.750
that the two heads hit together because they

00:05:00.750 --> 00:05:03.209
were told not to, apparently. Yeah, no, you're

00:05:03.209 --> 00:05:05.589
right. And I know what play you're talking about,

00:05:05.649 --> 00:05:08.310
too. I saw that. And also, they're tired of the

00:05:08.310 --> 00:05:10.410
Eagles being there. They are. There were some

00:05:10.410 --> 00:05:12.769
pass interference calls that were egregious,

00:05:12.769 --> 00:05:16.579
which they didn't call. Oh, thank you. Oh, here,

00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:19.300
let me get this out of your way. Perfect. Right

00:05:19.300 --> 00:05:22.360
there. Appreciate it. Enjoy. Oh, I'm sure. But

00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:24.860
anyway, Rams, Panthers, it makes more sense.

00:05:25.139 --> 00:05:28.060
L .A. is the bigger market. Yeah. So they're

00:05:28.060 --> 00:05:35.100
going to get the Packers -Bears. Yeah. That one

00:05:35.100 --> 00:05:38.660
went, let's see, Packers got out to a lead, then

00:05:38.660 --> 00:05:41.139
they just quit scoring, and the Bears came roaring

00:05:41.139 --> 00:05:44.300
back. So somehow the Packers just all of a sudden

00:05:44.300 --> 00:05:46.680
couldn't do anything anymore, while the Bears

00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:48.500
suddenly could do everything. I know. Isn't that

00:05:48.500 --> 00:05:50.680
interesting? It's amazing how that worked out.

00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:55.240
Uh -huh. Let's see. The one thing I noticed there

00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:58.180
is this right here. Matt LaFleur is a genius.

00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:02.759
Matt LaFleur went from being the next guy out

00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:05.500
to, we better sign him to a multi -year deal,

00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:08.600
and I don't know how he did that. It's pretty

00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:15.089
amazing. Mm -hmm. Still hearing word that Bien

00:06:15.089 --> 00:06:16.970
-Ami is probably going to come back to the Chiefs.

00:06:17.449 --> 00:06:19.870
That's been going on for a while now, so I think

00:06:19.870 --> 00:06:22.389
there's legs to it. And Matt Nagy has said he's

00:06:22.389 --> 00:06:25.269
not coming back, regardless. Regardless. Yeah.

00:06:25.870 --> 00:06:29.089
I think that's one of those, you can't fire me

00:06:29.089 --> 00:06:33.410
because I'm quitting. And also, there's a little

00:06:33.410 --> 00:06:36.370
bit more to it, and I'll explain. Okay, he wants

00:06:36.370 --> 00:06:39.050
to be known as a guy that's calling his own plays

00:06:39.050 --> 00:06:41.730
and making his own plays. He's not getting that.

00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:47.740
Yeah, that's true. And where the enemy really

00:06:47.740 --> 00:06:51.540
kind of needs to... He took a step back after

00:06:51.540 --> 00:06:53.800
leaving Kansas City, trying to make a step forward.

00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:58.720
So now he's going to take a step forward to Kansas

00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:04.720
City after he took a step back in Chicago. So

00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:10.339
I get that. I get that. And also, I think that...

00:07:12.500 --> 00:07:14.939
it's going to value his stock more too. It's

00:07:14.939 --> 00:07:16.819
like, well, this is his second tenure with Andy

00:07:16.819 --> 00:07:20.240
Reid and as an offensive coordinator, and everything

00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:24.699
really kind of shut down after that. And then

00:07:24.699 --> 00:07:26.759
if he comes back and he restores the offense

00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:29.180
to what it was, he's going to get him another

00:07:29.180 --> 00:07:33.899
job quickly. Mm -hmm. It'll be a proof that his

00:07:33.899 --> 00:07:38.420
method works. Mm -hmm. Let me get a correction

00:07:38.420 --> 00:07:41.790
here. We were actually 4 -2. Really? Mm -hmm.

00:07:41.790 --> 00:07:45.610
Okay, good. But I got the Rams -Panthers game

00:07:45.610 --> 00:07:52.649
wrong, and you got the Chargers -Pats game wrong.

00:07:53.209 --> 00:07:55.610
Wow. So that's part of me different. All the

00:07:55.610 --> 00:07:58.430
rest of them, we went the same way, win or lose.

00:07:59.050 --> 00:08:02.189
Yeah, that Pats game, Chargers game, I'll tell

00:08:02.189 --> 00:08:04.970
you what, Jim Harbaugh, he's not ready for the

00:08:04.970 --> 00:08:06.870
big leagues, at least not right now, and Justin

00:08:06.870 --> 00:08:08.670
Herbert is not the guy. But I got more on that

00:08:08.670 --> 00:08:12.920
coming up. The third game was Bills at Jags.

00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:17.480
We both picked the Jags. But there again, amazingly,

00:08:17.579 --> 00:08:19.040
in the fourth quarter, it just started going

00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:21.319
back and forth and back and forth. And the Bills

00:08:21.319 --> 00:08:23.800
started making all these amazing plays. What

00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:27.540
an amazing coincidence that is. Yeah. Especially

00:08:27.540 --> 00:08:33.620
with Josh Allen. The media darling. Current media

00:08:33.620 --> 00:08:36.379
darling. Will change eventually. Just give it

00:08:36.379 --> 00:08:39.549
time. I mean. There are people three years ago

00:08:39.549 --> 00:08:41.470
that thought Mahomes was always going to be a

00:08:41.470 --> 00:08:43.309
big deal and it was never going to end. Yeah.

00:08:43.649 --> 00:08:47.190
Yeah, it ended. Even when the Chiefs get good

00:08:47.190 --> 00:08:49.549
again, Mahomes will never be what he once was

00:08:49.549 --> 00:08:52.169
in the eyes of the country. No, no, no. They'll

00:08:52.169 --> 00:08:54.990
be like, well, he had that rough patch. So that

00:08:54.990 --> 00:08:57.250
takes away everything he's ever done in life.

00:08:57.850 --> 00:09:01.809
Yeah. Yeah. Stupid thinking. 49ers and Eagles,

00:09:01.950 --> 00:09:04.350
we both picked the Eagles, but wow, they looked

00:09:04.350 --> 00:09:08.179
flat. Oh, God. I've never been so happy to be

00:09:08.179 --> 00:09:10.620
off on a prediction in my life. Yeah, yeah. I

00:09:10.620 --> 00:09:13.679
mean, I'm not a real big fan of the 49ers, but

00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:17.419
the Eagles really didn't seem like they were

00:09:17.419 --> 00:09:20.200
going to do anything past this game anyway. No,

00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:22.559
I agree. Yeah, might as well knock them out.

00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:29.299
Chargers at Pabst. I really thought that was

00:09:29.299 --> 00:09:32.429
going to be a closer game, but, like, What one

00:09:32.429 --> 00:09:35.029
field goal is all the Chargers got for the whole

00:09:35.029 --> 00:09:36.950
playoff game? I know, wasn't that funny? That's

00:09:36.950 --> 00:09:40.090
an indictment right there. That's all you could

00:09:40.090 --> 00:09:45.389
muster is a field goal. Yeesh. Jim Harbaugh had

00:09:45.389 --> 00:09:49.169
to let that game feeling very deflated. Having

00:09:49.169 --> 00:09:53.970
fond memories of Michigan. Yeah. See, in Michigan,

00:09:53.990 --> 00:09:56.549
I could just buy my way into victories. Yeah,

00:09:56.610 --> 00:10:00.480
not here. And then the last one, the Texans and

00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:03.460
the Steelers, we both picked the Texans. And

00:10:03.460 --> 00:10:06.519
I actually stopped watching when it was 7 -6

00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:09.799
in the third quarter, I think it was. It was

00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:12.940
like, eh, this isn't going anywhere. The Texans

00:10:12.940 --> 00:10:16.429
exploded for... 13 more points. Oh, no, I had

00:10:16.429 --> 00:10:18.350
to work the next day, so I went to bed. I was

00:10:18.350 --> 00:10:21.230
like, yeah, that's enough. 23 more points. Anyway,

00:10:21.330 --> 00:10:23.669
but it really wasn't the Texans' offense. It

00:10:23.669 --> 00:10:25.570
was their defense and special teams that really

00:10:25.570 --> 00:10:26.649
took care of that. Oh, wait, no, I didn't have

00:10:26.649 --> 00:10:28.710
to work. I just got bored. No, you're right.

00:10:28.789 --> 00:10:34.570
Okay. No, their defense, yeah. You know, I still

00:10:34.570 --> 00:10:37.570
have the Texans as my dark horse. I think the

00:10:37.570 --> 00:10:39.409
Texans could very well go to the Super Bowl,

00:10:39.529 --> 00:10:42.409
and they could conceivably even win it because

00:10:42.409 --> 00:10:46.919
their defense. It's just been outstanding. They've

00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:50.460
won 11 games in a row, number one. Yeah. But

00:10:50.460 --> 00:10:52.720
you know that they're going to have to have some

00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:55.600
offense to score some points. They really are.

00:10:57.940 --> 00:11:01.659
There's been some times when super defensive

00:11:01.659 --> 00:11:04.320
teams have won the Super Bowl on the strength

00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:06.299
of their defense. I think there's a Ravens team

00:11:06.299 --> 00:11:10.379
that comes to mind. But that's kind of the exception.

00:11:11.850 --> 00:11:13.610
I don't know. I think Houston really needs to

00:11:13.610 --> 00:11:17.009
figure out why their offense is not doing so

00:11:17.009 --> 00:11:20.350
well. I would agree. But the only reason I give

00:11:20.350 --> 00:11:22.009
them a chance at all is because I don't see a

00:11:22.009 --> 00:11:24.590
real juggernaut out there right now. No. It's

00:11:24.590 --> 00:11:26.750
kind of wide open. Yeah, we'll have to see how

00:11:26.750 --> 00:11:30.029
the Broncos play because they had the week off.

00:11:30.169 --> 00:11:32.190
So that's the only one we haven't seen play yet.

00:11:32.570 --> 00:11:34.809
Yeah, the only thing I can say about Bo Nix is

00:11:34.809 --> 00:11:36.649
this right here. He makes the plays when it counts,

00:11:36.710 --> 00:11:40.639
so I guess that's good enough. Yeah. I think

00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:42.220
that's going to be a really good matchup with

00:11:42.220 --> 00:11:46.700
the Broncos and the Bills. Yeah, yeah. I think

00:11:46.700 --> 00:11:48.820
it's been a long time since they've faced each

00:11:48.820 --> 00:11:51.860
other in the playoffs. Playoffs, yeah. Especially

00:11:51.860 --> 00:11:55.200
in Denver. Oh, it has been. Yeah. It's been at

00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:56.980
least ten years, but it's been a lot more than

00:11:56.980 --> 00:12:02.559
that. Yeah. Yeah. So that was last week. We didn't

00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:06.360
do too bad. All right. Four and two in the playoffs.

00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:09.769
Playoffs. Playoffs. All right, what do you want

00:12:09.769 --> 00:12:13.169
to go into now? Let's talk about Mike Tomlin.

00:12:13.330 --> 00:12:18.950
Okay, sounds good. 19 -year run. Never had a

00:12:18.950 --> 00:12:21.649
losing season. He had some 500 seasons, but never

00:12:21.649 --> 00:12:23.769
a losing season. I'm going to incorporate my

00:12:23.769 --> 00:12:28.350
Mike Tomlin stuff, too, with you. Okay. Now,

00:12:28.429 --> 00:12:30.529
they are talking about this as a mutual decision,

00:12:30.629 --> 00:12:33.289
and he decided to step down and blah, blah. Did

00:12:33.289 --> 00:12:36.720
he step down? That's what it says. Tomlin said

00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:39.159
in a statement that he decided to step down after

00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:42.159
much thought and reflection. I don't think so.

00:12:42.740 --> 00:12:48.320
I don't think so. I think, if anything, the team

00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:52.139
said, going forward, here are the terms and conditions.

00:12:53.139 --> 00:12:55.500
Because he still had, what, two years, three

00:12:55.500 --> 00:12:59.860
years left on his deal? Yeah. The team probably

00:12:59.860 --> 00:13:01.620
told him, going forward, here's what it's going

00:13:01.620 --> 00:13:04.899
to be. Take it or leave it. basically saying

00:13:04.899 --> 00:13:07.559
quit or we're going to do it our way next year.

00:13:07.820 --> 00:13:09.620
And he probably just didn't want to do that.

00:13:09.620 --> 00:13:10.879
He caught me off guard. I didn't know they fired

00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:14.179
him. Or he quit. He's saying he quit, but they

00:13:14.179 --> 00:13:16.840
probably made the job look so unattractive and

00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:18.639
unappealing that he just kind of was like, yeah,

00:13:18.700 --> 00:13:20.779
I'm not going to stick around and do that. Here's

00:13:20.779 --> 00:13:23.519
my question, and this is going into some of my

00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:28.200
stuff on Tomlin. Okay, is Tomlin a victim of

00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:31.100
his own strength? And what I mean by that is,

00:13:31.529 --> 00:13:36.070
He takes an under -talented team and has the

00:13:36.070 --> 00:13:40.450
ability to coach them to be a winner, but you'll

00:13:40.450 --> 00:13:43.309
never have that kind of subpar talent winning

00:13:43.309 --> 00:13:47.830
the playoffs. Wow, wow. That's a good point,

00:13:47.929 --> 00:13:53.929
because he seems to have equal success on a team

00:13:53.929 --> 00:13:58.330
of just homegrown talent. versus the team where

00:13:58.330 --> 00:14:00.669
they go out and sign big -name free agents and

00:14:00.669 --> 00:14:02.750
bring in people. It really doesn't seem to make

00:14:02.750 --> 00:14:06.909
any difference, which is kind of a bad thing

00:14:06.909 --> 00:14:09.309
for Tomlin because that means that he's not taking

00:14:09.309 --> 00:14:12.009
advantage of those high -priced talents that

00:14:12.009 --> 00:14:15.110
they brought in. That's right. So it's slow and

00:14:15.110 --> 00:14:18.850
steady and always kind of there, but that's like

00:14:18.850 --> 00:14:22.549
always the bridesmaid. They still say that. Yeah,

00:14:22.730 --> 00:14:24.850
and never the bride. And if not, then Google

00:14:24.850 --> 00:14:26.500
it. If you don't know what he's talking about,

00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:29.700
Google it. Yeah, I think he's a victim of his

00:14:29.700 --> 00:14:32.899
own strength. And it is a time, it's time for

00:14:32.899 --> 00:14:36.039
him to leave. Yeah. It is. It is. I mean, just

00:14:36.039 --> 00:14:39.039
like Andy Reid did a perfectly great job, a fantastic,

00:14:39.340 --> 00:14:42.039
phenomenal job in Philadelphia, but it was time

00:14:42.039 --> 00:14:44.279
for him to leave. And he said that too. He's

00:14:44.279 --> 00:14:46.080
like, yeah, I had no problems with it. I needed

00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:49.879
to leave. It's interesting how over the years

00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:51.620
there have been a number of head coaches that

00:14:51.620 --> 00:14:54.700
also function as general manager. Not so much

00:14:54.700 --> 00:14:58.019
anymore. But I'm struggling to think of a single

00:14:58.019 --> 00:15:01.100
instance where a head coach has been fired or

00:15:01.100 --> 00:15:03.399
retired from head coaching and gone on to be

00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:05.580
a general manager. I don't think it happens.

00:15:05.580 --> 00:15:07.340
I don't remember anything like that either. I

00:15:07.340 --> 00:15:08.940
don't remember it ever going the other way either.

00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:11.759
A general manager never becomes a head coach.

00:15:13.419 --> 00:15:15.600
There's something about those skill sets that

00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:19.620
just really don't overlap apparently. I agree.

00:15:19.899 --> 00:15:21.879
I think when you're going through the ranks.

00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:25.740
They automatically identify you as one or the

00:15:25.740 --> 00:15:28.220
other. They're like, does this guy know personnel

00:15:28.220 --> 00:15:31.279
that well? Nobody can fire him up good. I think

00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:33.679
the front office will tend to look at the head

00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:37.759
coach as being like the top level supervisor.

00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:43.019
But the front office is upper management. And

00:15:43.019 --> 00:15:45.379
the two don't necessarily eat at the same table.

00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:49.960
No. The only close that you can get to that is

00:15:49.960 --> 00:15:53.669
like Mike Holmgren. The only way to go to Seattle

00:15:53.669 --> 00:15:58.830
was, you know, to be part of GM too, GM and that.

00:15:58.909 --> 00:16:02.850
And Andy Reid's done – he has a lot of input,

00:16:02.970 --> 00:16:06.149
you know. And that's per probably his contract.

00:16:06.190 --> 00:16:09.289
Like, hey, I got to have some input on the guys

00:16:09.289 --> 00:16:10.769
that are playing for me. And they're like, okay,

00:16:10.809 --> 00:16:14.409
Andy, you deserve that right, so we're going

00:16:14.409 --> 00:16:18.230
to give it to you. Yeah. I always thought if

00:16:18.230 --> 00:16:21.620
I were a head coach – But most of what I would

00:16:21.620 --> 00:16:24.980
ask for, as far as general manager duties, would

00:16:24.980 --> 00:16:27.440
say I want to make the fourth and fifth round

00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:30.100
draft picks. And if we don't have any fourth

00:16:30.100 --> 00:16:31.899
and fifth round, then I want two other picks.

00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:35.059
But I don't want the first rounders. I don't

00:16:35.059 --> 00:16:37.480
want the late rounders. Just give me a couple

00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:40.120
in the middle so I pick my guys. Kind of like

00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:42.419
Spagnuolo seems to do, where it has the biggest

00:16:42.419 --> 00:16:44.600
input on. They get those guys third and fourth

00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:47.860
and start sorting them out. Yeah, I mean, you

00:16:47.860 --> 00:16:50.860
can get... Such gems in the third, fourth, and

00:16:50.860 --> 00:16:53.980
fifth rounds. I got a question. Who is a stronger

00:16:53.980 --> 00:16:57.720
candidate for head coaching? Is it John Harbaugh

00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:02.259
or Mike Tomlin? I'd say Harbaugh. Harbaugh, too.

00:17:02.340 --> 00:17:04.980
Although they both won the Super Bowl, I'm going

00:17:04.980 --> 00:17:07.380
to say this right here. John Harbaugh has had

00:17:07.380 --> 00:17:10.440
success with various quarterbacks. Tomlin has

00:17:10.440 --> 00:17:13.839
only had the ultimate success with one. Yeah.

00:17:14.859 --> 00:17:18.279
Plus, with Tomlin saying, I'm stepping down voluntarily,

00:17:18.660 --> 00:17:21.359
that doesn't sound like a coach who's all fired

00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:23.380
up. And, in fact, he's really not expected to

00:17:23.380 --> 00:17:25.880
coach next year at all. He's expected that nobody's

00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:27.559
going to offer him a job for the next season.

00:17:27.740 --> 00:17:31.099
Yeah. So he'll sit out a year. I don't know.

00:17:31.119 --> 00:17:36.500
He doesn't seem to enjoy. The media part of it,

00:17:36.519 --> 00:17:38.900
talking on the sideline and stuff, I don't know

00:17:38.900 --> 00:17:41.619
if he really wants to go into broadcasting or

00:17:41.619 --> 00:17:43.880
hosting a show or anything. I don't know if that's

00:17:43.880 --> 00:17:48.519
his personality. The way he talks, he's kind

00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:50.619
of soft -spoken. I would say no. I mean, he may

00:17:50.619 --> 00:17:52.819
not be out on the field, but whenever he's talking

00:17:52.819 --> 00:17:54.819
with the media or the sideline reporters, he's

00:17:54.819 --> 00:17:57.269
relatively soft -spoken. Yeah, yeah. It doesn't

00:17:57.269 --> 00:17:59.769
really seem like he's into it and enjoying it.

00:17:59.829 --> 00:18:01.470
It's just like he's polite and he's going to

00:18:01.470 --> 00:18:04.450
be nice, but it's an obligation that he's discharging.

00:18:04.650 --> 00:18:08.289
Yeah, yeah. I can see him being like an advisor

00:18:08.289 --> 00:18:14.390
or something, but not necessarily a GM. Yeah.

00:18:15.089 --> 00:18:17.390
Yeah, I don't see him taking a head coaching

00:18:17.390 --> 00:18:21.490
job, not really ever again. I just don't see

00:18:21.490 --> 00:18:25.029
it. You know, I think I agree with you. I think

00:18:25.029 --> 00:18:27.930
that he would be an advisor or something, a special

00:18:27.930 --> 00:18:31.250
advisor. He'd be like a Bruce Arians did, where

00:18:31.250 --> 00:18:33.269
he's like, well, I'm going to go to the front

00:18:33.269 --> 00:18:35.670
office, but it's kind of undetermined exactly

00:18:35.670 --> 00:18:38.990
what he does. I think he gets paid to stand there

00:18:38.990 --> 00:18:41.869
and just watch the game. Yeah. So, there it comes.

00:18:42.250 --> 00:18:44.529
Do you think Pete Carroll and the season he had

00:18:44.529 --> 00:18:47.170
has kind of turned the NFL off of hiring people

00:18:47.170 --> 00:18:49.630
like Tomlin or Belichick to be head coaches again?

00:18:49.630 --> 00:18:51.829
It's like they're too old. They're too long at

00:18:51.829 --> 00:18:54.589
one team. They've been out of it too long. I

00:18:54.589 --> 00:18:57.970
think Pete Carroll kind of ruined it for everybody.

00:18:58.170 --> 00:19:01.009
John Harbaugh has been rumored to be really interested

00:19:01.009 --> 00:19:04.109
in the Titan job. And he said he likes Cam Ward.

00:19:04.269 --> 00:19:06.509
He likes what he sees. He likes the new Christian

00:19:06.509 --> 00:19:08.549
team. They have plenty of cap room and a new

00:19:08.549 --> 00:19:11.210
stadium coming next year or the year after. Yeah.

00:19:11.690 --> 00:19:16.150
And now that Pittsburgh and Miami have thrown

00:19:16.150 --> 00:19:18.789
their hats into the ring for needing a head coach,

00:19:18.970 --> 00:19:22.049
then, yeah, Spags ain't necessarily going to

00:19:22.049 --> 00:19:26.869
Tennessee. No, no. I don't think he's going to

00:19:26.869 --> 00:19:28.569
go to Tennessee. I think Tennessee is going to

00:19:28.569 --> 00:19:30.710
probably get John Harbaugh because John Harbaugh

00:19:30.710 --> 00:19:34.630
seems to be mutually as interested. So Spagnuolo

00:19:34.630 --> 00:19:40.750
still keeps getting pushed towards the Giants.

00:19:42.700 --> 00:19:44.720
And I don't know if it's just people starting

00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:46.380
shit on the internet or not, but there's been

00:19:46.380 --> 00:19:48.740
a hell of a lot of rumors saying, no, they want

00:19:48.740 --> 00:19:52.039
him. So I don't know if that's true or not, but

00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:57.700
that's been the hot talk. What I see in the Giants

00:19:57.700 --> 00:20:00.960
organization is they have a lot of pieces that

00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:04.420
he could very effectively use. So I think they've

00:20:04.420 --> 00:20:07.400
got... a good basis for it there, and you can

00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:09.259
step in and make a real difference. I think you're

00:20:09.259 --> 00:20:11.000
right. Yeah, and I think that's what he's looking

00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:12.460
at. Yeah, and some other teams, he'd have to

00:20:12.460 --> 00:20:16.319
go ahead and find the players first. Or they've

00:20:16.319 --> 00:20:19.240
got a good defense, and he would have to adapt

00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:21.700
his style to theirs. Like if he went to Cleveland,

00:20:21.839 --> 00:20:23.700
they've already got a pretty good defense. Oh,

00:20:23.700 --> 00:20:25.319
yeah. And they wouldn't want him to mess with

00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:32.859
that. No, no. I'll put it like this. Who did

00:20:32.859 --> 00:20:36.700
he have before Jackson, Lamar Jackson? In between

00:20:36.700 --> 00:20:39.680
Flacco and Jackson, he had a quarterback. Was

00:20:39.680 --> 00:20:41.880
it like Tyrod Taylor or something? I remember

00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:44.720
him being there, yeah. Yeah. Well, he had some

00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:47.720
people like Gatflo to do there, right? Well,

00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:50.619
on this, he doesn't have that Tyrod Taylor. He

00:20:50.619 --> 00:20:53.579
thinks he has the guy already, Cam Newton. Yeah.

00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:56.240
Or not. Yeah, yeah, Cam Ward, not Newton. Yeah,

00:20:56.259 --> 00:20:59.660
Cam Newton, yeah, no, no. He's not the guy. Not

00:20:59.660 --> 00:21:01.680
anymore. He looked like it for a minute, didn't

00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:06.440
he? He did, yeah. So the thing that I think is

00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:10.259
he's got the guy that he thinks he can mold and

00:21:10.259 --> 00:21:12.700
shape into the guy he needs, so he's not walking

00:21:12.700 --> 00:21:15.519
into, like you said, a situation where it's like,

00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:17.819
well, I think we're going to start off. I'm going

00:21:17.819 --> 00:21:20.200
to talk to the GM and maybe draft this quarterback.

00:21:20.940 --> 00:21:23.400
He's got the guy right there in place. He's got

00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:25.819
a really good defense and a new stadium and all

00:21:25.819 --> 00:21:29.519
kinds of cap room. The thing is, I see John Harbaugh

00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:33.559
being lethal in Tennessee. Just like their old

00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:41.859
coach is in New England now. Well, from a selfish

00:21:41.859 --> 00:21:44.039
standpoint, I'd be happy to see him not in the

00:21:44.039 --> 00:21:48.359
AFC West. Me too. So I'm pretty curious to see

00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:51.220
who winds up in Las Vegas. The less we face him,

00:21:51.339 --> 00:21:54.799
the better off I feel. I mean, the guy, he's

00:21:54.799 --> 00:21:57.599
just one of those coaches. that we know can beat

00:21:57.599 --> 00:22:00.680
us if he has a good game. Here's a little side

00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:02.559
note. We were talking about Vegas. Did you know

00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:05.680
that the Oakland A's are trying to move to Las

00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:09.680
Vegas? Yes, I did know that. They have requested

00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:13.720
the trademark for Las Vegas Athletics and Vegas

00:22:13.720 --> 00:22:16.880
Athletics as trademark names. They were denied.

00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:20.359
The court said, nope, that's too generic a term.

00:22:20.640 --> 00:22:22.359
Athletics could be anything, and you're not going

00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:26.339
to own it. They should have went with A's. What

00:22:26.339 --> 00:22:29.380
a big blow to them is now anybody can post anything

00:22:29.380 --> 00:22:31.819
that says Las Vegas Athletics, and as long as

00:22:31.819 --> 00:22:34.099
they don't use the exact logo, they can sell

00:22:34.099 --> 00:22:36.440
that legally. That's funny. Isn't that awesome?

00:22:36.519 --> 00:22:38.759
They should have stayed where they were. Should

00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:40.339
have stayed where they were. Yeah, they should

00:22:40.339 --> 00:22:43.700
have just stayed where they were. Look, everybody's

00:22:43.700 --> 00:22:45.500
moving out of Oakland. There's not any money

00:22:45.500 --> 00:22:48.359
there. No. Just kind of like how the stadiums

00:22:48.359 --> 00:22:53.230
are doing in Kansas City. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, they're

00:22:53.230 --> 00:23:03.750
definitely trying to come up with a better...

00:23:03.750 --> 00:23:08.309
Let's see. The A's are a storied franchise, but

00:23:08.309 --> 00:23:11.329
they've been nomads. They've been all over, so

00:23:11.329 --> 00:23:14.569
I think them moving isn't that big of a deal

00:23:14.569 --> 00:23:16.289
to anybody. It's just kind of like, well, that's

00:23:16.289 --> 00:23:18.509
what they do. I guess that's the way to describe

00:23:18.509 --> 00:23:25.559
it. So, all right. I've got some bullet points,

00:23:25.559 --> 00:23:29.240
or you got something? That was all I had on Tomlin.

00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:31.960
Okay. Well, you know what? While we're talking

00:23:31.960 --> 00:23:37.319
about Tomlin, how about Aaron Rodgers? Okay.

00:23:38.200 --> 00:23:42.160
Is he going to retire now? Yeah, I would say

00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:45.339
so. With Tomlin leaving, I think that's going

00:23:45.339 --> 00:23:47.839
to be... Kind of the little push over the edge

00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:50.240
that Aaron Rodgers needs. It's like, I ain't

00:23:50.240 --> 00:23:52.619
starting over again with a new head coach next

00:23:52.619 --> 00:23:56.480
year, a new staff, all the changes, like, eh.

00:23:56.799 --> 00:23:59.660
No, I agree. So as disappointing as this season

00:23:59.660 --> 00:24:02.799
was for Aaron Rodgers, next season is probably

00:24:02.799 --> 00:24:05.000
going to be a bit worse. Oh, yeah, and the problem

00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:07.720
is all the premier teams have their guy in place.

00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:10.730
Yeah. So he'd have to go to, like, an Atlanta

00:24:10.730 --> 00:24:13.309
or something if they even want him. I don't know.

00:24:13.369 --> 00:24:15.289
They have Kirk Cousins down there. He would have

00:24:15.289 --> 00:24:17.890
to go to a team that's been a perennial stomping

00:24:17.890 --> 00:24:23.009
bag. I mean, maybe the Raiders, but I doubt it.

00:24:23.049 --> 00:24:24.609
I think the Raiders want to come up with their

00:24:24.609 --> 00:24:27.210
guy. I think Tom Brady kind of put his foot down

00:24:27.210 --> 00:24:31.049
and said, all right, we're going to get the coach

00:24:31.049 --> 00:24:33.849
that we want, and we're going to get the quarterback

00:24:33.849 --> 00:24:35.730
that we want, and we're going to build from there.

00:24:36.509 --> 00:24:40.470
Yeah. The Raiders really do seem the only franchise

00:24:40.470 --> 00:24:43.210
that is totally lost on quarterback, but Aaron

00:24:43.210 --> 00:24:45.829
Rodgers would be such a lousy fit for him. No.

00:24:45.869 --> 00:24:50.309
Just a bad idea. And really, Tampa Bay looks

00:24:50.309 --> 00:24:52.589
like they could use somebody now that Baker Mayfield

00:24:52.589 --> 00:24:54.289
has fallen off a cliff, but they're not going

00:24:54.289 --> 00:24:57.150
to go for Aaron Rodgers. He's too old. There's

00:24:57.150 --> 00:24:58.910
just not much left in the tank. You're not going

00:24:58.910 --> 00:25:03.069
to invest that amount of money. There's a minimum

00:25:03.069 --> 00:25:06.089
amount that he can legally accept, Aaron Rodgers

00:25:06.089 --> 00:25:08.589
first. as a quarterback and the years in the

00:25:08.589 --> 00:25:12.509
league, there's a union contract minimum that

00:25:12.509 --> 00:25:14.990
teams can pay him. So it's not like they can

00:25:14.990 --> 00:25:17.930
sign him for dirt cheap just for the fun of it.

00:25:19.809 --> 00:25:25.769
Yeah. So, okay, so it doesn't look very good

00:25:25.769 --> 00:25:28.170
for Aaron Rodgers, and I think he's probably

00:25:28.170 --> 00:25:29.869
going to look at that and probably just be like,

00:25:29.869 --> 00:25:32.339
you know. That's okay. It's been a great career.

00:25:32.579 --> 00:25:35.039
And I think he'd rather go ahead and retire than

00:25:35.039 --> 00:25:39.319
try to hook on and fail and then retire. Oh,

00:25:39.420 --> 00:25:41.079
well, I guess nobody wants me. I'll go ahead

00:25:41.079 --> 00:25:43.799
and quit. I think he'd rather just retire. That

00:25:43.799 --> 00:25:48.759
almost happened last year. And also, another

00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:50.920
thing is he's been acting really peculiar at

00:25:50.920 --> 00:25:53.539
the press conferences. Even more than usual.

00:25:53.700 --> 00:25:56.730
Even more than usual. The way he talks to himself

00:25:56.730 --> 00:25:59.690
about how a reporter's doing it is really fucking

00:25:59.690 --> 00:26:05.329
weird. Okay, I think I see what you're trying

00:26:05.329 --> 00:26:08.990
to do here. I'm not going to be a part of it,

00:26:09.029 --> 00:26:13.349
so fuck this, I'm going to leave. It's like,

00:26:13.349 --> 00:26:14.910
do you really have to go through everything like

00:26:14.910 --> 00:26:17.190
that, or are you just coming up with a reason

00:26:17.190 --> 00:26:19.250
to leave, or you think you're going to say something

00:26:19.250 --> 00:26:22.750
you're not supposed to, so you leave? It is weird,

00:26:22.869 --> 00:26:26.250
isn't it? It really does sound like he's emotionally

00:26:26.250 --> 00:26:31.289
divesting himself from the team, this community.

00:26:32.210 --> 00:26:34.170
Disinvesting, divesting, whatever it is. Yeah.

00:26:34.890 --> 00:26:37.829
So he's starting to cut to emotional ties, I'll

00:26:37.829 --> 00:26:40.190
put it that way. So he doesn't really care to

00:26:40.190 --> 00:26:42.789
be nice to the local press because he's probably

00:26:42.789 --> 00:26:44.390
figuring it's not going to matter at the end

00:26:44.390 --> 00:26:45.769
of the season because I ain't going to be here.

00:26:46.029 --> 00:26:47.950
And I don't care what they say about me after

00:26:47.950 --> 00:26:50.210
I'm gone. No, I just think his explanation on

00:26:50.210 --> 00:26:52.990
why he's leaving has just always been so creepy.

00:26:53.210 --> 00:26:55.970
And he's only started this last few press conferences

00:26:55.970 --> 00:26:58.430
where he says, Hey, how you doing? Good. How

00:26:58.430 --> 00:27:02.269
are you? I'm doing good. I'm Franco from Corollos.

00:27:02.349 --> 00:27:05.579
Yep. Our favorite Italian market and deli. Yep.

00:27:05.660 --> 00:27:07.319
We'll try not to get him in trouble anymore.

00:27:07.660 --> 00:27:12.920
Yeah, yeah. I don't think his boss likes him

00:27:12.920 --> 00:27:15.140
coming over and talking for a couple hours. Yeah.

00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:17.960
So he'll come by and he'll say hi, but I get

00:27:17.960 --> 00:27:20.900
it. Let me check our noise level meter, see what

00:27:20.900 --> 00:27:23.119
we're getting here. It turns itself off. Uh -oh.

00:27:24.019 --> 00:27:25.960
It's got a battery saver. So right now we're

00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:28.859
hitting about 75 to 80 on the decibel. That's

00:27:28.859 --> 00:27:33.789
about normal conversation. That's pretty good.

00:27:34.109 --> 00:27:36.509
All right. I'm good with that. Not too noisy.

00:27:36.930 --> 00:27:41.269
No. All right. You got something you want to

00:27:41.269 --> 00:27:44.349
go into? I got a whole bunch of shit, so it doesn't

00:27:44.349 --> 00:27:47.849
matter to me. Whatever. Let's see. Went to an

00:27:47.849 --> 00:27:51.069
ESPN site and got their predictions on who's

00:27:51.069 --> 00:27:53.869
going to go where on the coaching carousel. Oh,

00:27:53.869 --> 00:27:56.849
okay. Let me get my readers back on for this.

00:27:58.910 --> 00:28:02.859
All right. Nine open NFL coaching jobs. Because

00:28:02.859 --> 00:28:04.319
they're counting coordinators, too. Have you

00:28:04.319 --> 00:28:06.380
guys got any specials or anything going on? City

00:28:06.380 --> 00:28:09.420
market coffee? Not right now. We still have the

00:28:09.420 --> 00:28:11.119
winter specials. We're about to start the Valentine's

00:28:11.119 --> 00:28:13.200
specials here next week. All right. There we

00:28:13.200 --> 00:28:14.880
go. Valentine's Day special. We've got a strawberry

00:28:14.880 --> 00:28:21.779
cheesecake latte. There's a barbecue beef sandwich.

00:28:22.619 --> 00:28:24.960
We've got pickled red onion on it. We're picking

00:28:24.960 --> 00:28:28.160
cabbage. And then we have a white chocolate strawberry

00:28:28.160 --> 00:28:33.640
martini. Everybody, you hear that? You fucking

00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:38.980
hear that? Thank you. Appreciate it. Damn, now

00:28:38.980 --> 00:28:42.980
I'm hungry again. And thirsty. Anyhow, I'm sorry,

00:28:43.079 --> 00:28:45.180
go ahead. Alright, what have we got here? We

00:28:45.180 --> 00:28:50.759
have... This is where they said Tomlin had two

00:28:50.759 --> 00:28:53.039
years remaining on his contract. Inform Steelers

00:28:53.039 --> 00:28:55.019
players of his decision to walk away at their

00:28:55.019 --> 00:28:57.940
2 p .m. meeting on Tuesday, one day after Pittsburgh

00:28:57.940 --> 00:29:01.119
was eliminated from the playoffs. Playoffs! With

00:29:01.119 --> 00:29:04.769
a 30 -6 loss to the Texans. And that was about

00:29:04.769 --> 00:29:07.369
as dismal as you could get. Oh, man. I mean,

00:29:07.369 --> 00:29:10.069
at that point, I think everybody there with their

00:29:10.069 --> 00:29:12.829
terrible towels was probably like going, I wish

00:29:12.829 --> 00:29:15.150
we didn't even make the playoffs. Yeah. Because

00:29:15.150 --> 00:29:19.289
they lost and looked so bad. It's like one of

00:29:19.289 --> 00:29:20.910
those deals, like if the Chiefs would have backed

00:29:20.910 --> 00:29:22.410
their way into it and looked that bad, I'd be

00:29:22.410 --> 00:29:24.650
like, I wish we wouldn't have made it. Yeah,

00:29:24.710 --> 00:29:29.509
yeah. If your team doesn't make that field goal

00:29:29.509 --> 00:29:31.829
at the end. Frank, are the Chiefs scoring back

00:29:31.829 --> 00:29:35.000
next year? Are the Chiefs flooring back next

00:29:35.000 --> 00:29:37.680
year? Going back next year? Flooring, like coming

00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:42.799
back. If they get a good offensive coordinator,

00:29:43.640 --> 00:29:48.339
if they get some help, yeah. Okay. Well, we think

00:29:48.339 --> 00:29:50.440
so, too. That's why I asked. And I think they

00:29:50.440 --> 00:29:53.700
need to get somebody outside of the Chiefs organization.

00:29:54.480 --> 00:29:57.680
Yeah, I read a long article about that, and they

00:29:57.680 --> 00:29:59.900
talk about how Andy Reid doesn't like to do that.

00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:03.690
Yeah. I know they're talking about being a B,

00:30:03.730 --> 00:30:07.990
but they got McDaniels out there. There's the

00:30:07.990 --> 00:30:11.930
guy that. Wouldn't you love to see Josh McDaniels,

00:30:11.930 --> 00:30:14.470
or no, Mike McDaniels. Wouldn't you love to see

00:30:14.470 --> 00:30:18.549
what he can do with Mahomes or try to? What's

00:30:18.549 --> 00:30:23.650
the guy that is college coach? Belichick? Oh,

00:30:23.650 --> 00:30:29.210
no. No, Mahomes college coach. Oh, yeah, Kingsbury.

00:30:29.450 --> 00:30:32.359
Kingsbury. Yeah. I mean. I wouldn't mind seeing

00:30:32.359 --> 00:30:34.519
Kingsbury. He's already had a bunch of success

00:30:34.519 --> 00:30:38.900
for a while. It'll be interesting to see. It

00:30:38.900 --> 00:30:42.019
will be, yeah. But yeah, if they do that, it'd

00:30:42.019 --> 00:30:45.000
be good. I'd like to see Alex Smith come over

00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:47.779
and be a quarterback's coach. He did so good

00:30:47.779 --> 00:30:49.660
with Mahomes that first year when he was still

00:30:49.660 --> 00:30:53.099
a starter. He taught him so many things. Even

00:30:53.099 --> 00:30:56.140
Mahomes and Mahomes' dad both always thanked

00:30:56.140 --> 00:30:59.779
him first. There's a reason for that. I agree.

00:31:01.700 --> 00:31:03.720
Yeah, I agree with you. There's so much talent

00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:05.640
outside of here. I would love to see someone

00:31:05.640 --> 00:31:11.500
else's idea. He's too young. I mean, there's

00:31:11.500 --> 00:31:14.380
no reason for him to be that he's going down

00:31:14.380 --> 00:31:18.180
this direction already. Well, he's been injured

00:31:18.180 --> 00:31:21.259
because I have a new knee and I have knee problems.

00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:25.119
You do a certain walk when you can't put all

00:31:25.119 --> 00:31:26.500
your weight on your knee, and he'd been doing

00:31:26.500 --> 00:31:28.920
that for at least three games. Yeah. And anybody

00:31:28.920 --> 00:31:31.140
with any type of a brain at all could tell he

00:31:31.140 --> 00:31:34.299
was not the same. Now, how come, my question

00:31:34.299 --> 00:31:37.000
is, is how come the coaching didn't set him down,

00:31:37.059 --> 00:31:42.220
didn't shut him down? Exactly. Because he has

00:31:42.220 --> 00:31:44.700
too much clout, and that's the problem. Yeah.

00:31:44.720 --> 00:31:47.700
I love Mahomes, and we need him here, but they

00:31:47.700 --> 00:31:49.559
need to figure out a way to say, dude, we don't

00:31:49.559 --> 00:31:52.000
care. We don't care who you are. You have to

00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:56.200
go rest. Yeah. Get Mahomes to take no for an

00:31:56.200 --> 00:31:59.980
answer a lot more than he is. Yes. I think that's

00:31:59.980 --> 00:32:02.539
a big part of it. Yeah, a very big part of it.

00:32:02.720 --> 00:32:07.619
And I say this is it for Andy. It gets better.

00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:12.000
If we get the same production, it might be time

00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:14.720
to cut loose from Andy. I can see that. Yeah,

00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:17.200
I can see that too. And there's so much young

00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:22.210
talent now in the NFL that could – I think he

00:32:22.210 --> 00:32:30.450
has that old school kind of coaching style. Do

00:32:30.450 --> 00:32:32.049
you think that's how come maybe some of the team

00:32:32.049 --> 00:32:34.009
wasn't as good this year? Because they're really

00:32:34.009 --> 00:32:37.890
not used to that type of coaching. They don't

00:32:37.890 --> 00:32:39.809
like that type of coaching. They don't respond

00:32:39.809 --> 00:32:42.009
to that type of coaching. I've always kind of

00:32:42.009 --> 00:32:46.849
felt that with Danny Green, sometimes with the

00:32:46.849 --> 00:32:50.660
four wide receivers. What was it, a year or two

00:32:50.660 --> 00:32:55.900
ago? He had a nice receiver before and a lot

00:32:55.900 --> 00:32:59.200
of talent, but he wasn't utilizing people the

00:32:59.200 --> 00:33:02.579
right way. I agree. I agree. Well, even this

00:33:02.579 --> 00:33:05.740
year, some of it was offensive line, but the

00:33:05.740 --> 00:33:08.500
running backs in particular, whoever's coaching

00:33:08.500 --> 00:33:11.460
them, I think, to me, is not doing a good job.

00:33:11.660 --> 00:33:15.019
Oh, shit. Lost pepper. Here, hang on. I'll get

00:33:15.019 --> 00:33:19.400
it. Sorry, I interrupted Franco bringing peppers

00:33:19.400 --> 00:33:22.299
to Corollos. Pepper overboard. Yeah, that was

00:33:22.299 --> 00:33:25.259
split wide open. Sorry about that. Corollos,

00:33:25.259 --> 00:33:27.279
yeah, the best Italian joint in Kansas City.

00:33:27.819 --> 00:33:32.779
All right, yeah. Yep. You guys do a great job.

00:33:33.599 --> 00:33:36.140
All right, I got to get in there. Sorry, you're

00:33:36.140 --> 00:33:41.660
carrying all that shit. All right, Franco. Get

00:33:41.660 --> 00:33:44.190
him in trouble again. I know, I know. I felt

00:33:44.190 --> 00:33:46.150
mad after I asked him. I was like, I should have

00:33:46.150 --> 00:33:49.450
left him alone. Anyhow, I'm sorry. Well, he can

00:33:49.450 --> 00:33:52.150
tell he's being nice to us. Okay, so the coaching

00:33:52.150 --> 00:33:56.930
carousel. Yeah, yeah. First, I guess they're

00:33:56.930 --> 00:33:59.910
doing these in alphabetical order. Arizona Cardinals,

00:34:00.069 --> 00:34:04.170
Jonathan Gannon was fired. Really don't know

00:34:04.170 --> 00:34:06.569
anything about him prior to coming to the NFL

00:34:06.569 --> 00:34:08.650
because we don't get much coverage of the Cardinals

00:34:08.650 --> 00:34:14.260
here at KC. No. Three seasons, had a 15 -36 record.

00:34:14.320 --> 00:34:17.440
So he lost two games for every one he won. I

00:34:17.440 --> 00:34:21.699
would say that would earn a fire. Now the ESPN's

00:34:21.699 --> 00:34:23.619
prediction for who's going to get the job is

00:34:23.619 --> 00:34:27.800
Clint Kubiak, the offensive coordinator's son.

00:34:28.219 --> 00:34:32.300
But he's the OC in Seattle. So that's who they're

00:34:32.300 --> 00:34:33.579
predicting. Oh, that's right. That's where I

00:34:33.579 --> 00:34:35.860
heard his name. And you know what? That guy deserves

00:34:35.860 --> 00:34:38.920
a promotion. Even though Darnold's doing so well

00:34:38.920 --> 00:34:42.599
in Minnesota. He looks so comfortable and so

00:34:42.599 --> 00:34:45.619
good in the spot that he put him in. Yeah. So

00:34:45.619 --> 00:34:48.320
I think Kubiak is an excellent choice to take

00:34:48.320 --> 00:34:54.119
the next step. I think so too. And you figure

00:34:54.119 --> 00:34:57.239
he's got no quarterbacks inside now. Yeah. So

00:34:57.239 --> 00:34:59.039
if anybody's going to get anything from Kyler

00:34:59.039 --> 00:35:00.780
Murray. It's going to be him. It's going to be

00:35:00.780 --> 00:35:03.280
Clint Kubiak. I agree. That's going to be interesting.

00:35:03.420 --> 00:35:05.260
I'm going to watch that period if that does happen.

00:35:05.260 --> 00:35:07.639
Yeah, yeah. And, you know, I would be happy to

00:35:07.639 --> 00:35:10.360
see the Cardinals have an upswing. I really would.

00:35:10.400 --> 00:35:12.000
Yeah, they don't bother me at all. I mean, yeah.

00:35:13.320 --> 00:35:15.579
Next up, we've got Atlanta Falcons. Their former

00:35:15.579 --> 00:35:18.079
coach, Raheem Morris, was fired last week after

00:35:18.079 --> 00:35:22.500
two seasons and a 16 -18 record. You see, I didn't

00:35:22.500 --> 00:35:25.539
agree with that one at all. No, it seems like.

00:35:26.860 --> 00:35:29.460
They fired him because they expected him to do

00:35:29.460 --> 00:35:31.300
a lot better than that with the talent they gave

00:35:31.300 --> 00:35:33.059
him. So maybe they're thinking this ain't our

00:35:33.059 --> 00:35:35.539
guy because he should be doing better than this.

00:35:35.849 --> 00:35:39.369
I guess. Yeah. Yeah, 16 -8, he's not bad for

00:35:39.369 --> 00:35:41.630
two years with the talent he had. Yeah. He's

00:35:41.630 --> 00:35:44.889
coaching him right, I think. He is, yeah. I think

00:35:44.889 --> 00:35:46.869
he is getting the most he can out of him. I'd

00:35:46.869 --> 00:35:48.750
like to know about Raheem Morris a little bit

00:35:48.750 --> 00:35:51.090
more about him to see if he would be a good fit

00:35:51.090 --> 00:35:53.929
with us. Yeah, I could definitely see him landing

00:35:53.929 --> 00:35:59.409
somewhere this year. I do, too. Yeah. But ESPN's

00:35:59.409 --> 00:36:02.170
prediction is going to be John Horbaugh, former

00:36:02.170 --> 00:36:05.579
Ravens head coach. To Atlanta? To Atlanta. Okay,

00:36:05.719 --> 00:36:08.739
well, the last I read, Titans, he was like really

00:36:08.739 --> 00:36:10.760
leaning towards them. So, okay, maybe something

00:36:10.760 --> 00:36:14.760
happened that I don't know. I don't know. Maybe

00:36:14.760 --> 00:36:19.559
there's some tie -ins there, personnel -wise,

00:36:19.619 --> 00:36:21.940
front office or on the team that we aren't fully

00:36:21.940 --> 00:36:24.780
aware of. Oh, no, from what I understood, Cam

00:36:24.780 --> 00:36:28.000
Ward, salary cap, new stadium. But then again,

00:36:28.119 --> 00:36:31.460
maybe he's just a sucker for a bird mascot. He

00:36:31.460 --> 00:36:34.739
could be. He's like, oh, I'm going to go from

00:36:34.739 --> 00:36:37.219
Ravens to Falcons. Falcons are bigger and badder.

00:36:37.300 --> 00:36:40.579
Yeah. Yeah. All right, speaking of the Ravens,

00:36:40.579 --> 00:36:43.380
Baltimore Ravens, they fired former head coach

00:36:43.380 --> 00:36:47.059
John Harbaugh last week after 18 seasons. That

00:36:47.059 --> 00:36:51.800
still caught me by surprise. Averaging 10 wins

00:36:51.800 --> 00:36:55.210
a season. He had a 180 and 113 regular season

00:36:55.210 --> 00:36:59.530
record, 13 and 11 playoff record. Playoff? And

00:36:59.530 --> 00:37:02.269
the same goal. I missed that one. Sorry, I got

00:37:02.269 --> 00:37:05.250
a text for my massage tonight. I was trying to

00:37:05.250 --> 00:37:07.670
make sure it wasn't canceled. You got by on me.

00:37:08.090 --> 00:37:12.210
But, yeah, part of the oddness of that firing

00:37:12.210 --> 00:37:15.150
is the fact that he's been doing very well recently,

00:37:15.369 --> 00:37:19.570
getting into the postseason, having very... high

00:37:19.570 --> 00:37:22.550
records, winning the division. But I guess they

00:37:22.550 --> 00:37:24.530
just figure that they've given every chance,

00:37:24.610 --> 00:37:26.550
and he hasn't got them over the hill for a long

00:37:26.550 --> 00:37:30.909
time, so on they go. ESPN's prediction is Kevin

00:37:30.909 --> 00:37:34.469
Stefanski, former Browns head coach. Oh, I think

00:37:34.469 --> 00:37:37.050
that's a great idea. I think so, too. Stays within

00:37:37.050 --> 00:37:40.369
the division. He's familiar with both teams.

00:37:40.530 --> 00:37:42.650
I think that could be a really good hire. To

00:37:42.650 --> 00:37:49.340
me, I think that's a good hire. Yeah. Let's see.

00:37:49.460 --> 00:37:52.280
Oh, now up next to the Cleveland Browns. All

00:37:52.280 --> 00:37:54.900
this is allegedly. They didn't hire him. Well,

00:37:54.940 --> 00:37:59.400
that's true. This is all legend. Cleveland Browns,

00:37:59.400 --> 00:38:01.980
they fired Kevin Stefanski last week after six

00:38:01.980 --> 00:38:05.820
seasons, a 45 -56 regular season record, a 1

00:38:05.820 --> 00:38:13.000
-2 playoff record. Playoff? ESPN's prediction

00:38:13.000 --> 00:38:16.059
for the next Browns head coach, Mike McDaniel,

00:38:16.179 --> 00:38:19.340
former Dolphins. Do they want him to work with

00:38:19.340 --> 00:38:22.579
Shador? Do they want him to work with Gabriel?

00:38:22.880 --> 00:38:25.619
Or do they want him to work with the massage

00:38:25.619 --> 00:38:29.980
guy? From what I've read and read between the

00:38:29.980 --> 00:38:33.420
lines, they're kind of leaning towards Dylan

00:38:33.420 --> 00:38:37.019
Gabriel because Shador isn't working out to be

00:38:37.019 --> 00:38:39.260
nearly what they expected him to be this season.

00:38:39.820 --> 00:38:41.679
And I think they think Dillon was a little easier

00:38:41.679 --> 00:38:43.920
to work with. I think Dillon was showing more

00:38:43.920 --> 00:38:46.480
upside, that's for sure. Dillon was getting where

00:38:46.480 --> 00:38:48.780
he was getting games into twos, not very many

00:38:48.780 --> 00:38:53.980
interceptions. He was going from bad to an upper

00:38:53.980 --> 00:38:56.679
mediocre pretty quickly. So I think that would

00:38:56.679 --> 00:38:59.019
be something to work with, and I think Mike McDaniels

00:38:59.019 --> 00:39:01.159
would be a good guy. And at this point, I think

00:39:01.159 --> 00:39:07.840
whichever one of the two is more willing to learn,

00:39:08.409 --> 00:39:10.449
and work with coaching staff is the one they're

00:39:10.449 --> 00:39:13.309
going to focus on. So if Shador Sanders has an

00:39:13.309 --> 00:39:16.210
independent streak and pushes back, they're probably

00:39:16.210 --> 00:39:17.989
just going to say, yeah, it's not worth it, let's

00:39:17.989 --> 00:39:20.409
go with the other guy. Yeah, and I think that's

00:39:20.409 --> 00:39:22.710
also good bait for Shador. If they think there's

00:39:22.710 --> 00:39:25.309
more there, he's going to respond to that if

00:39:25.309 --> 00:39:27.789
he wants to. Yeah. So I get it. They'll probably

00:39:27.789 --> 00:39:29.510
tell him, you know, fight to get your starting

00:39:29.510 --> 00:39:31.889
job back. Let's see what you got. No, that's

00:39:31.889 --> 00:39:36.739
the way it should be done too. Las Vegas Raiders

00:39:36.739 --> 00:39:39.679
fired former coach Pete Carroll after one season

00:39:39.679 --> 00:39:46.179
and a 3 -14 record. ESPN prediction for the next

00:39:46.179 --> 00:39:49.380
Raiders head coach, Robert Saleh. Saleh, yeah,

00:39:50.019 --> 00:39:52.900
former Jets, now he's with the 49ers. Currently

00:39:52.900 --> 00:39:57.440
their defensive coordinator. And good, very good

00:39:57.440 --> 00:39:59.960
defensive coordinator. Game plan he came up against

00:39:59.960 --> 00:40:04.000
the Eagles was brilliant. He stifled them. Yeah,

00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:06.429
yeah. I think he'd fit in pretty well with the

00:40:06.429 --> 00:40:09.230
Raiders. Raiders would like to have a big, mean,

00:40:09.329 --> 00:40:12.250
tough defense the way they used to. I could see

00:40:12.250 --> 00:40:14.469
Robert Salah being a perfect fit over there,

00:40:14.489 --> 00:40:16.309
although I don't want him in our division. No,

00:40:16.309 --> 00:40:19.269
I don't. I'm trying to remember the last time

00:40:19.269 --> 00:40:21.809
the Raiders had a defense the league feared.

00:40:21.969 --> 00:40:26.769
It's been a long -ass time. Not even when Schottenheimer

00:40:26.769 --> 00:40:29.110
was facing off on them. Not even then they really

00:40:29.110 --> 00:40:32.500
didn't have a defense. I'm thinking early 80s.

00:40:32.500 --> 00:40:34.420
Early 80s. Probably the last time they had a

00:40:34.420 --> 00:40:36.780
feared defense. Yeah, and that was back when

00:40:36.780 --> 00:40:40.880
they had Stabler. Stabler was more in the 70s.

00:40:41.980 --> 00:40:44.400
Yeah, he was. Then they moved on from him to

00:40:44.400 --> 00:40:47.420
Plunkett. Plunkett. Plunkett is who I was thinking

00:40:47.420 --> 00:40:49.340
of. They had a pretty good defense with Steve

00:40:49.340 --> 00:40:54.110
Plunkett. Yeah. Was that Steve Plunkett? Jim

00:40:54.110 --> 00:40:56.449
Plunkett. Jim Plunkett. Steve Plunkett is the

00:40:56.449 --> 00:40:59.130
lead singer of Autograph. Oh, okay. Yeah, that's

00:40:59.130 --> 00:41:02.449
right. Which is actually his stepson. Yes. Yes.

00:41:02.449 --> 00:41:06.110
Which he found out much later, too. Yeah. All

00:41:06.110 --> 00:41:09.889
right, next up, Miami Dolphins. Former coach

00:41:09.889 --> 00:41:12.389
was Mike McDaniel. Fired last week after four

00:41:12.389 --> 00:41:16.409
seasons, a 35 -33 regular season record, and

00:41:16.409 --> 00:41:19.710
0 -2 in the playoffs. That's going to kill you.

00:41:19.869 --> 00:41:22.309
They fired him right after he was doing breakdancing

00:41:22.309 --> 00:41:27.559
karaoke. Yeah, I'd fire him for that. That's

00:41:27.559 --> 00:41:30.639
crime against humanity. Yeah, yeah. So they went

00:41:30.639 --> 00:41:33.000
ahead and said, well, while you're doing that,

00:41:33.159 --> 00:41:36.320
did that guy just take off his shirt? I think

00:41:36.320 --> 00:41:41.539
it just ripped off of the Hulk style. It's fucking

00:41:41.539 --> 00:41:45.500
20 degrees out there. Whatever. Okay. He's trolling

00:41:45.500 --> 00:41:49.159
for the ladies. I guess so. Or guys. Could be.

00:41:50.239 --> 00:41:52.260
You know what? To each his own. That's fine with

00:41:52.260 --> 00:41:55.260
me. Yep. All right, ESPN's prediction for the

00:41:55.260 --> 00:41:58.260
next Dolphins coach, Chris Shula from the Rams,

00:41:58.360 --> 00:42:00.519
defensive coordinator. Oh, okay. Get another

00:42:00.519 --> 00:42:04.199
Shula back in Miami. That would probably be his

00:42:04.199 --> 00:42:07.119
grandson. That would have to be his grandson,

00:42:07.340 --> 00:42:10.599
yeah. Okay. This is no joke, really. Yeah, yeah,

00:42:10.639 --> 00:42:14.960
it really is. Because, yeah, Don Shula was 60s.

00:42:14.960 --> 00:42:17.199
He was coaching back in the 60s. I think he started

00:42:17.199 --> 00:42:20.809
with the Baltimore Colts. Back when the Colts

00:42:20.809 --> 00:42:24.210
were in Baltimore. Yes, he did, yeah. All right,

00:42:24.289 --> 00:42:27.090
New York Giants. Former coach Brian Dable fired

00:42:27.090 --> 00:42:30.510
in November after three and a half seasons, 20

00:42:30.510 --> 00:42:33.670
-40 -1 regular season record and 1 -1 record

00:42:33.670 --> 00:42:37.590
in the postseason. Offensive coordinator Mike

00:42:37.590 --> 00:42:39.829
Kafka finished the season as interim head coach

00:42:39.829 --> 00:42:45.269
and went 2 -5. He is supposed to be on the Chiefs'

00:42:45.269 --> 00:42:49.639
horizon because he used to work with... With

00:42:49.639 --> 00:42:55.559
Andy Reid in those offenses. Yeah. And he's probably

00:42:55.559 --> 00:42:58.300
going to be let go. Yeah. Interim coaches generally

00:42:58.300 --> 00:43:00.619
do. That was one of the predictions I read, but

00:43:00.619 --> 00:43:04.619
I don't necessarily trust. Yeah. The ESPN's prediction

00:43:04.619 --> 00:43:07.079
for the next Giants head coach is Jeff Halfley,

00:43:07.159 --> 00:43:10.980
Packers defensive coordinator. Even after the

00:43:10.980 --> 00:43:15.429
playoffs? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I thought his stock

00:43:15.429 --> 00:43:17.849
would have went down after Chicago surged back

00:43:17.849 --> 00:43:20.170
in the fourth quarter and had their way with

00:43:20.170 --> 00:43:22.369
him. Yeah, yeah, Packers defense didn't look

00:43:22.369 --> 00:43:25.550
so great then. No, no. But it's also possible

00:43:25.550 --> 00:43:27.429
that the Giants really don't have the pull to

00:43:27.429 --> 00:43:31.420
get a top tier. No, that's it right there. They're

00:43:31.420 --> 00:43:33.280
going to have to get what they can get. It's

00:43:33.280 --> 00:43:37.760
just like the Chiefs, 80s, and then in the 2000s

00:43:37.760 --> 00:43:40.400
when they were horrible, they couldn't get a

00:43:40.400 --> 00:43:42.460
good head coach. They tried and tried, and then

00:43:42.460 --> 00:43:44.960
finally, the only reason Andy Reid came here

00:43:44.960 --> 00:43:47.320
was because Dick Vermeule was here, and they're

00:43:47.320 --> 00:43:48.860
good friends. He called up Dick Vermeule, and

00:43:48.860 --> 00:43:51.300
he said, hey, Kansas City called me, and Dick

00:43:51.300 --> 00:43:53.980
Vermeule said, go, go right now. And that's why.

00:43:54.719 --> 00:43:56.500
Other than that, we probably would not have gotten

00:43:56.500 --> 00:43:59.159
him. Yeah, I don't think so. Yeah, it worked

00:43:59.159 --> 00:44:02.199
out great for everybody. Yeah, yep. Except for

00:44:02.199 --> 00:44:06.440
the Chiefs haters. Yes. Okay, and then as of

00:44:06.440 --> 00:44:09.000
yesterday, Pittsburgh Steelers also need to head

00:44:09.000 --> 00:44:12.019
coach now. Former coach Mike Tomlin, who parted

00:44:12.019 --> 00:44:14.099
ways with the team. I like that, parted ways.

00:44:14.099 --> 00:44:16.639
Mutually, mutually, or whatever. Parted his hair,

00:44:16.840 --> 00:44:22.679
or passed wind, or I don't know. 19 seasons with

00:44:22.679 --> 00:44:28.929
a 193 -114 -2 regular season record. That's pretty

00:44:28.929 --> 00:44:31.650
impressive. Yeah. Didn't quite make it to 200

00:44:31.650 --> 00:44:34.150
wins. But here's the one that I surprised me.

00:44:34.309 --> 00:44:41.590
8 -12 in the playoffs. Wow. 8 -12? 8 -12. He

00:44:41.590 --> 00:44:44.849
had a lot of seasons where he was one and done

00:44:44.849 --> 00:44:49.730
or win one, lose one, and you're done. I had

00:44:49.730 --> 00:44:52.210
no idea that he had lost four more than he'd

00:44:52.210 --> 00:44:55.360
won. I didn't either. That surprised me. They

00:44:55.360 --> 00:44:57.659
all came under Roethlisberger, I know that. Yeah.

00:44:57.760 --> 00:45:00.019
Every one of his wins came under Roethlisberger,

00:45:00.139 --> 00:45:02.179
including the Super Bowl. Yeah. And that was

00:45:02.179 --> 00:45:05.239
against the Arizona Cardinals and Kurt Warner.

00:45:05.440 --> 00:45:08.280
Yeah, yeah. Two Super Bowl appearances and one

00:45:08.280 --> 00:45:12.639
Super Bowl title for Tomlin. But ESPN's prediction

00:45:12.639 --> 00:45:16.019
for the next head coach is Jesse Minter, the

00:45:16.019 --> 00:45:20.000
Chargers defensive coordinator. And again, did

00:45:20.000 --> 00:45:25.360
we see the playoff game? Not so good. Over the

00:45:25.360 --> 00:45:29.760
past few seasons, the Chargers have had a reputation

00:45:29.760 --> 00:45:34.400
of a decent defense, but I don't know. I mean,

00:45:34.400 --> 00:45:36.539
well, they did hold Drake May in the Patriots

00:45:36.539 --> 00:45:39.719
high -rolling offense to, what, 16, 18 points?

00:45:40.059 --> 00:45:43.960
Yeah. But they let, who was it? Was it Demarcus

00:45:43.960 --> 00:45:47.780
Robinson? Yeah. They let him just fucking eat

00:45:47.780 --> 00:45:51.139
them up. He ate them alive. Our old, yeah, our

00:45:51.139 --> 00:45:53.800
old wide receiver, number five. Yeah. Well, he's

00:45:53.800 --> 00:45:56.440
number five up there, too. And he ate them up.

00:45:56.960 --> 00:45:59.820
Yeah. So, okay, whatever. Yeah, I remember Robinson

00:45:59.820 --> 00:46:04.260
was, he couldn't. I think I'm thinking of a different

00:46:04.260 --> 00:46:07.679
game, but go ahead. Oh, yeah, yeah. But, yeah,

00:46:07.739 --> 00:46:10.159
Robinson, he had a couple of spectacular catches.

00:46:10.340 --> 00:46:14.300
Yeah. Okay, anyhow, go ahead. What was it, the

00:46:14.300 --> 00:46:18.059
90s or early 2000s? We had Johnny Robinson. Yeah,

00:46:18.139 --> 00:46:20.280
yeah, that's right. And then Will Robinson. Yeah.

00:46:20.380 --> 00:46:23.239
Yeah, Will Robinson, he was kind of spacey. Yeah,

00:46:23.300 --> 00:46:25.980
yeah. He was always yelling about Dr. Smith.

00:46:26.500 --> 00:46:32.119
Touch it. Last team on the list, the Tennessee

00:46:32.119 --> 00:46:36.179
Titans. Mom! June, Dr. Smith touched him again.

00:46:38.039 --> 00:46:41.099
Former coach Brian Callahan fired in October

00:46:41.099 --> 00:46:43.980
after nearly one and a half seasons. Wow, nearly

00:46:43.980 --> 00:46:47.860
one and a half. Demarcus Robinson. And a 4 -19

00:46:47.860 --> 00:46:50.719
record. Mike McCoy finished the season as interim

00:46:50.719 --> 00:46:55.960
coach and went 2 -9. I think Brian Callahan showed

00:46:55.960 --> 00:46:59.760
that he's a lot alike his father, Bill Callahan,

00:46:59.940 --> 00:47:03.699
who did great at Nebraska. They got into pros

00:47:03.699 --> 00:47:07.500
and pretty much just grabbed his pants. It was

00:47:07.500 --> 00:47:10.980
the 49ers who I was meaning to say. Demarcus

00:47:10.980 --> 00:47:15.969
Robinson tore. Prediction for the next Titans

00:47:15.969 --> 00:47:18.449
coach, Matt Nagy, Chiefs Offensive Coordinator.

00:47:18.789 --> 00:47:21.829
Good. Good. Let him go. Let him go. See you.

00:47:22.269 --> 00:47:26.269
Yeah. But nowhere in this was Steve Spagnuolo

00:47:26.269 --> 00:47:30.750
mentioned. It depends on who you listen to. Yeah.

00:47:30.829 --> 00:47:33.170
If you listen to one person, he's the hottest

00:47:33.170 --> 00:47:34.829
candidate out there. If you listen to another

00:47:34.829 --> 00:47:40.139
one, he's not even on the radar. Yeah. So. Let's

00:47:40.139 --> 00:47:42.139
see. We can talk about how the Eagles have fired

00:47:42.139 --> 00:47:44.159
their offensive coordinator, Kevin Petullo. I

00:47:44.159 --> 00:47:47.019
think we mentioned it earlier, but we had to

00:47:47.019 --> 00:47:50.219
figure that was going to happen. I don't know

00:47:50.219 --> 00:47:53.300
that the Eagles would be interested in Matt Nagy

00:47:53.300 --> 00:47:55.320
and whether he would do a lateral move like that

00:47:55.320 --> 00:47:57.809
to be their offensive coordinator. I'm going

00:47:57.809 --> 00:48:00.590
to say no. I'm going to say no on both parts.

00:48:00.670 --> 00:48:02.250
I don't think either one would want the other.

00:48:02.610 --> 00:48:05.250
Doesn't fit the bill. And Nagy has said he's

00:48:05.250 --> 00:48:07.570
not coming back no matter what. He's like, either

00:48:07.570 --> 00:48:09.269
I'm getting another job or I'm quitting, but

00:48:09.269 --> 00:48:11.409
I ain't coming back here. Because he's probably

00:48:11.409 --> 00:48:13.269
heard the people in the stands yelling at him

00:48:13.269 --> 00:48:17.429
every game. Probably. And let's hope he takes

00:48:17.429 --> 00:48:19.369
the special teams coach with him when he leaves.

00:48:19.530 --> 00:48:23.650
Yeah, Dave Tom, whatever. Yeah, whatever. Yeah,

00:48:23.710 --> 00:48:27.980
I don't like that idiot either. No. Anyone that

00:48:27.980 --> 00:48:30.820
won't take responsibility for his own shit, I

00:48:30.820 --> 00:48:33.860
don't like. Yeah. And then you try to divert

00:48:33.860 --> 00:48:36.800
everything by going to a stupid question. Who

00:48:36.800 --> 00:48:38.960
cares what the president thinks about the fucking

00:48:38.960 --> 00:48:41.960
new rules? Who cares? And did they really think

00:48:41.960 --> 00:48:45.139
we were that stupid that that weak -ass attempt

00:48:45.139 --> 00:48:47.659
at a distraction was going to work? Yeah, yeah.

00:48:47.739 --> 00:48:49.800
You pouting out your little fucking bird chest.

00:48:50.059 --> 00:48:52.659
You could tell him I said that. Yeah. No one's

00:48:52.659 --> 00:48:54.139
going to tell him I said that because he won't

00:48:54.139 --> 00:48:58.760
give a fuck. Yeah. He's like the little ant standing

00:48:58.760 --> 00:49:01.199
on top of his anthill yelling about how strong

00:49:01.199 --> 00:49:03.440
and powerful he is as the steamroller smooshes

00:49:03.440 --> 00:49:07.940
him. You've got a great high opinion of yourself,

00:49:08.119 --> 00:49:10.539
but how'd it work out for you? Yeah, and then

00:49:10.539 --> 00:49:12.679
also, you know, people are going to run and tell

00:49:12.679 --> 00:49:16.179
the president, Hey, President Trump, you hear

00:49:16.179 --> 00:49:20.699
what Dave Tobe said about you? Who's that? I

00:49:20.699 --> 00:49:24.219
think he's like a special teams guy. I don't

00:49:24.219 --> 00:49:26.840
care. Why not? It's like they were expecting

00:49:26.840 --> 00:49:28.920
him to go running to his room and throw himself

00:49:28.920 --> 00:49:31.920
on his pillow and weep into his David Cassidy

00:49:31.920 --> 00:49:38.380
pillowcase. Why? Why? Why? Why me? He's taking

00:49:38.380 --> 00:49:42.340
a shower. At the very least, Dave Taub should

00:49:42.340 --> 00:49:45.960
find the person who suggested it. release that

00:49:45.960 --> 00:49:48.079
statement, and fire that person. Immediately.

00:49:48.079 --> 00:49:50.440
Because that person has no idea how to handle

00:49:50.440 --> 00:49:52.940
PR in the press. I'll bet you Andy Reid was like,

00:49:53.000 --> 00:49:57.280
what? Motherfucker. Get him on the phone right

00:49:57.280 --> 00:50:00.159
now. Right now. Go ahead and buy him a plane

00:50:00.159 --> 00:50:03.679
ticket right now that I want to talk to. No,

00:50:03.679 --> 00:50:05.599
no, no. I want to talk to him on the phone. Bring

00:50:05.599 --> 00:50:09.739
him here. Let me get my fucking boots on. It's

00:50:09.739 --> 00:50:11.239
the kind of thing where you don't want someone

00:50:11.239 --> 00:50:13.800
that stupid to be associated with your organization.

00:50:13.800 --> 00:50:15.400
Yeah, that's what it's like. You bring him here

00:50:15.400 --> 00:50:18.920
now. We can do this two ways. You can step down

00:50:18.920 --> 00:50:20.840
after this season or I can fire your stupid ass

00:50:20.840 --> 00:50:25.860
right now. Anyhow, go ahead. Let's see. The Buffalo

00:50:25.860 --> 00:50:30.000
Bills have lost yet another wide receiver. Tyrell

00:50:30.000 --> 00:50:33.280
Shavers suffered a torn ACL. Ernie Shavers, the

00:50:33.280 --> 00:50:38.639
boxer. Yeah. His brother. Yeah. In Sunday's 27

00:50:38.639 --> 00:50:42.539
-24 victory over the Jaguars. Coach Sean McDermott

00:50:42.539 --> 00:50:44.659
said Tuesday that Shavers played the second half

00:50:44.659 --> 00:50:48.619
Sunday on his torn ACL. Oh. Which he suffered

00:50:48.619 --> 00:50:51.059
in the second quarter on a punt return. You see,

00:50:51.219 --> 00:50:53.539
I told you Mahomes is a wimp. No, I'm joking.

00:50:53.980 --> 00:50:57.280
That's what people are going to say now. As he

00:50:57.280 --> 00:50:59.099
came off a block, Shavers immediately pulled

00:50:59.099 --> 00:51:01.320
up and began limping and then was looked at by

00:51:01.320 --> 00:51:03.840
athletic trainers on the field. Shavers came

00:51:03.840 --> 00:51:06.840
back to play 21 offensive snaps in the final

00:51:06.840 --> 00:51:09.039
two quarters but did not return to special teams.

00:51:09.900 --> 00:51:12.940
So it's a partial tear, not a total tear. Because,

00:51:12.960 --> 00:51:14.380
you know, a total tear and you wouldn't be able

00:51:14.380 --> 00:51:19.480
to stand up. But that's pretty tough on his part.

00:51:19.559 --> 00:51:24.989
And it shows also... how the league and the teams

00:51:24.989 --> 00:51:28.269
view the players as disposable. It's like, we

00:51:28.269 --> 00:51:30.429
need something from you. We don't care if it

00:51:30.429 --> 00:51:32.210
wrecks the rest of your career and you never

00:51:32.210 --> 00:51:34.829
play again. We need this from you now. Give it

00:51:34.829 --> 00:51:38.449
to us. So if I were Terrell Shavers, I would

00:51:38.449 --> 00:51:40.510
look at that very carefully and remember that

00:51:40.510 --> 00:51:44.230
come contract time that they view the players

00:51:44.230 --> 00:51:49.829
as something to use and then discard. I would

00:51:49.829 --> 00:51:54.900
keep that in mind. It looks like the Baltimore

00:51:54.900 --> 00:52:00.380
Ravens owner is starting out a love fest towards

00:52:00.380 --> 00:52:04.840
Lamar Jackson. Ravens owner Stephen Bischiotti

00:52:04.840 --> 00:52:09.219
said on Tuesday that he told Lamar Jackson he

00:52:09.219 --> 00:52:11.579
wants a new deal done by the start of free agency

00:52:11.579 --> 00:52:14.260
in March that would significantly lower the two

00:52:14.260 --> 00:52:21.150
-time NFL MVP's $74 .5 million cap number. Quote,

00:52:21.150 --> 00:52:23.269
the urgency of that matters to me because we've

00:52:23.269 --> 00:52:25.510
got free agents and I don't want to go into free

00:52:25.510 --> 00:52:29.250
agency with that hanging over our head. Biscotti

00:52:29.250 --> 00:52:32.250
said, and I made it clear to Lamar. Is that the

00:52:32.250 --> 00:52:34.769
cookie guy? Yes, the one you dunk in your coffee.

00:52:34.869 --> 00:52:36.710
Yes, okay, that's what I thought. He said, I

00:52:36.710 --> 00:52:38.829
made it very clear to Lamar that I think he was

00:52:38.829 --> 00:52:41.309
very appreciative of my stance and hopefully

00:52:41.309 --> 00:52:43.929
willing to work with Eric DaCosta, Ravens General

00:52:43.929 --> 00:52:46.849
Manager, and not get this thing dragged out into

00:52:46.849 --> 00:52:49.559
April like last time. It's very hard for him

00:52:49.559 --> 00:52:51.519
to build a roster when that thing is not centered.

00:52:53.320 --> 00:52:56.500
Jackson, who is 29 years old, is under contract

00:52:56.500 --> 00:52:59.179
for three more years, but his cap number increases

00:52:59.179 --> 00:53:03.320
by $31 million in 2026. Wow. So that would be

00:53:03.320 --> 00:53:06.260
a $74 .5 million cap figure that would count

00:53:06.260 --> 00:53:11.079
for 25 % of the team's salary cap in one player.

00:53:11.320 --> 00:53:14.900
Yeah, he's got to change that. I mean, if Jackson

00:53:14.900 --> 00:53:17.000
wants to win regularly, he's going to have to

00:53:17.000 --> 00:53:19.730
figure that out. Yeah. yeah and at a certain

00:53:19.730 --> 00:53:24.250
point players start to realize that if i want

00:53:24.250 --> 00:53:27.449
championships then i gotta give up some of my

00:53:27.449 --> 00:53:30.289
stuff so they have money to pay these other people

00:53:30.289 --> 00:53:35.030
come over and win championships okay and i think

00:53:35.030 --> 00:53:37.650
the realization is starting to get there and

00:53:37.650 --> 00:53:40.670
this is part of the owner coming out and saying

00:53:40.670 --> 00:53:42.449
you know we love you lamar we want you to be

00:53:42.449 --> 00:53:46.050
here but get reasonable on your salary demands

00:53:46.050 --> 00:53:48.449
hey i get it and it needs to be done now not

00:53:48.449 --> 00:53:50.389
later because they need to know where they stand

00:53:50.389 --> 00:53:52.869
with a salary cap yeah and also it's going to

00:53:52.869 --> 00:53:54.489
make a hell of a difference on the next coach

00:53:54.489 --> 00:54:00.630
they hire this is true as well if you interview

00:54:00.630 --> 00:54:02.929
a head coaching prospect and say well lamar's

00:54:02.929 --> 00:54:06.309
kind of iffy on the contract we don't know yeah

00:54:06.309 --> 00:54:08.550
you're gonna lose somebody that way yeah yep

00:54:08.550 --> 00:54:11.909
a good person a good person would be like you

00:54:11.909 --> 00:54:17.340
know i have options i'm not gonna do this Well,

00:54:17.340 --> 00:54:21.980
and then what I got left is the longest tenured

00:54:21.980 --> 00:54:25.659
head coaches in the NFL history. Okay, that'll

00:54:25.659 --> 00:54:28.300
do. Or you want to do that a little better? No,

00:54:28.320 --> 00:54:34.659
let's skip on to something else. All right, I've

00:54:34.659 --> 00:54:41.239
got some bullet points. All right, do the Rams

00:54:41.239 --> 00:54:43.179
have something to worry about going forward in

00:54:43.179 --> 00:54:47.559
the playoffs? Wow. Yeah, I think so. I do too.

00:54:49.079 --> 00:54:51.780
They've got some issues there, obviously, that

00:54:51.780 --> 00:54:55.820
have been exploited. Yeah. I'm not sure who the

00:54:55.820 --> 00:55:01.320
Rams play next. Hang on. So we've got Rams and

00:55:01.320 --> 00:55:03.780
the Niners and the Seahawks and the Bears, okay.

00:55:05.559 --> 00:55:08.920
Well, they've got a chance against the Bears,

00:55:09.059 --> 00:55:13.969
but against the Niners or the Hawks. It's kind

00:55:13.969 --> 00:55:17.829
of iffy. I don't really see the Rams going all

00:55:17.829 --> 00:55:21.809
the way this year. No, I don't either. It's possible,

00:55:21.929 --> 00:55:23.789
though, because if there's ever a wide open year,

00:55:23.929 --> 00:55:30.969
I think it's right now on both sides. So, okay.

00:55:31.869 --> 00:55:34.809
I think they have a lot to worry about. Yeah.

00:55:35.949 --> 00:55:40.559
And we'll see if they get past Chicago. That

00:55:40.559 --> 00:55:42.760
does seem to be kind of a historic matchup, though,

00:55:42.800 --> 00:55:46.360
Rams and Bears. It really is. Yeah. I'm sure

00:55:46.360 --> 00:55:50.780
the NFL loves this LA -Chicago. Yeah. All right,

00:55:50.820 --> 00:55:54.039
Stafford made some crucial errors but made crucial

00:55:54.039 --> 00:55:58.340
plays to win. Is this a sign of a first -class

00:55:58.340 --> 00:56:05.599
quarterback or the opposite? Wow. It's a good

00:56:05.599 --> 00:56:11.440
question. Yeah, I thought so. I'm going to start

00:56:11.440 --> 00:56:13.820
deciding the good quarterback. Yeah, being able

00:56:13.820 --> 00:56:15.500
to overcome your mistakes and keep your head

00:56:15.500 --> 00:56:17.599
in the game, I think that outweighs making a

00:56:17.599 --> 00:56:22.719
mistake in the first place. Yeah. Well, I go

00:56:22.719 --> 00:56:25.840
back to the prolific quarterback, though, are

00:56:25.840 --> 00:56:29.860
all interception machines. It's the more you

00:56:29.860 --> 00:56:31.920
try, the more you do, the more you do, the more

00:56:31.920 --> 00:56:35.480
you do. I remember Hall of Fame running back

00:56:35.480 --> 00:56:38.000
Eric Dickerson. You just knew he was going to

00:56:38.000 --> 00:56:39.920
fumble at least once in the game. Yeah, but you

00:56:39.920 --> 00:56:41.579
didn't care because he got you so many other

00:56:41.579 --> 00:56:43.440
points, so many yards. But he could rip off these

00:56:43.440 --> 00:56:46.199
big, amazing long runs. It was like it all balanced

00:56:46.199 --> 00:56:49.039
out. Yeah, it did, and also it helped your offense

00:56:49.039 --> 00:56:52.460
so much with that threat there that, yeah, they

00:56:52.460 --> 00:56:54.500
won more games or not, but like you said, you

00:56:54.500 --> 00:56:56.000
knew he was going to fumble, but it was like,

00:56:56.039 --> 00:56:59.619
well, we still got to give him another. I think

00:56:59.619 --> 00:57:02.860
teams are kind of accustomed to having their

00:57:02.860 --> 00:57:05.139
opponent flip the field on them with a long pass,

00:57:05.360 --> 00:57:09.019
but having them do it with a long run. It just

00:57:09.019 --> 00:57:11.960
hurts a little more. It does. We had these guys

00:57:11.960 --> 00:57:17.280
backed up beside their own 20. Now they're already

00:57:17.280 --> 00:57:20.360
in field goal position one play later. Yeah.

00:57:20.460 --> 00:57:22.739
And it wasn't their passing defense. These guys

00:57:22.739 --> 00:57:25.860
just ran right through us. That's demoralizing.

00:57:26.019 --> 00:57:28.320
And also another thing demoralizing and just

00:57:28.320 --> 00:57:31.059
kills the defense is having to chase after a

00:57:31.059 --> 00:57:35.159
running back in the flat. It's brutal on the

00:57:35.159 --> 00:57:38.760
body, and it wears you down quickly. So, I mean,

00:57:38.800 --> 00:57:41.400
a good running game just demoralizes the other

00:57:41.400 --> 00:57:44.960
team. It really does. Yeah. I've always been

00:57:44.960 --> 00:57:48.179
a proponent of a strong running game. I'm starting

00:57:48.179 --> 00:57:51.099
with that. It should start, and then set up to

00:57:51.099 --> 00:57:55.320
pass. Yeah. Okay. Will Carolina be a regular

00:57:55.320 --> 00:57:57.320
in the playoffs in the near future? Playoffs.

00:57:57.420 --> 00:58:00.719
Playoffs. I think so. I think they've built something

00:58:00.719 --> 00:58:05.099
pretty good here. Thank you. Oh, welcome. I think

00:58:05.099 --> 00:58:07.280
they're headed in the right direction. Yeah.

00:58:09.599 --> 00:58:13.599
You know, of course, they got the same drawbacks

00:58:13.599 --> 00:58:15.559
every team has, which is, you know, keep their

00:58:15.559 --> 00:58:17.639
players healthy, keep their players re -signed.

00:58:17.719 --> 00:58:19.900
But since every team goes through that, then

00:58:19.900 --> 00:58:23.619
that kind of makes it even. Yeah, I can see Carolina.

00:58:26.739 --> 00:58:28.639
You know, I can see them kind of taking over

00:58:28.639 --> 00:58:31.119
that division because Tampa Bay is kind of iffy.

00:58:31.139 --> 00:58:35.730
The Saints are iffy. The Falcons are iffy. I

00:58:35.730 --> 00:58:37.829
could see the Panthers becoming the strength

00:58:37.829 --> 00:58:40.309
of that division for a while. I could too, but

00:58:40.309 --> 00:58:43.769
I used to love Todd Bowles. I'm not sure if he's

00:58:43.769 --> 00:58:48.409
head coach material. Yeah. You really learn a

00:58:48.409 --> 00:58:50.570
lot about a head coach when there's a lot of

00:58:50.570 --> 00:58:55.329
adversity. Yes. And I'm going to point fingers

00:58:55.329 --> 00:58:57.650
right here in Kansas City, and as much adversity

00:58:57.650 --> 00:59:00.050
as the Chiefs had this year, I don't think Andy

00:59:00.050 --> 00:59:03.260
Reid handled it very well. I don't think he did

00:59:03.260 --> 00:59:07.420
at all. I think he abandoned sections of the

00:59:07.420 --> 00:59:13.019
game that he shouldn't have. He waffled on players.

00:59:13.519 --> 00:59:16.199
It's like, all right, it's you. You're the starter.

00:59:16.380 --> 00:59:18.219
We're sticking with it until you prove otherwise.

00:59:18.559 --> 00:59:22.380
He waffled on that. It was just shifting lineup,

00:59:22.639 --> 00:59:25.500
shifting people in and out constantly so no one

00:59:25.500 --> 00:59:27.719
could get in a rhythm or get used to working

00:59:27.719 --> 00:59:31.110
with each other. Personnel -wise, I think it

00:59:31.110 --> 00:59:32.590
was poorly handled. It was like mass confusion.

00:59:32.869 --> 00:59:36.969
Yeah, yeah. And the game plan was, it seemed

00:59:36.969 --> 00:59:39.409
like the game plan was based on Mahomes performing

00:59:39.409 --> 00:59:43.889
the way he did three, four years ago. They fell

00:59:43.889 --> 00:59:46.389
in love with backyard football. Yes. Just go

00:59:46.389 --> 00:59:48.690
out there and do what you can. It ain't working

00:59:48.690 --> 00:59:52.070
anymore. No, no. It barely worked back then.

00:59:52.170 --> 00:59:54.449
And, yeah, people caught up. People figured it

00:59:54.449 --> 00:59:57.010
out. Especially with offensive lines so thin

00:59:57.010 --> 01:00:00.809
and not that good because they could send Irving

01:00:00.809 --> 01:00:04.630
coverage and still sack the quarterback. I can

01:00:04.630 --> 01:00:07.050
imagine the members of the other team, when they'd

01:00:07.050 --> 01:00:08.809
see the Chiefs come out and do their backyard

01:00:08.809 --> 01:00:15.739
trick play, goofy kind of thing. It seemed like

01:00:15.739 --> 01:00:19.219
an insult, like a taunt. Yes. Like the guy who's

01:00:19.219 --> 01:00:21.099
running into the end zone and holding the ball

01:00:21.099 --> 01:00:23.099
back towards you, knowing you can never reach

01:00:23.099 --> 01:00:25.699
him in time and tiptoeing. It's that kind of

01:00:25.699 --> 01:00:27.559
taunt. And I think all the other teams said,

01:00:27.619 --> 01:00:30.099
you know what, it's bad enough that the Chiefs

01:00:30.099 --> 01:00:31.800
are everywhere and we get them all pushed down

01:00:31.800 --> 01:00:33.760
our throats, but now you're out there on the

01:00:33.760 --> 01:00:36.219
field taunting us with these dumbass little kid

01:00:36.219 --> 01:00:39.380
plays, making us look stupid. All right, we're

01:00:39.380 --> 01:00:41.559
just going to start pounding you. We'll take

01:00:41.559 --> 01:00:43.340
the penalties. We're just going to drive you

01:00:43.340 --> 01:00:45.659
into the dirt because fuck you. And that's why

01:00:45.659 --> 01:00:47.360
I don't feel sorry. I think that was it. I don't

01:00:47.360 --> 01:00:49.199
feel sorry about Jim Harbaugh and his fucking

01:00:49.199 --> 01:00:51.300
little precious quarterback pretty much leaving

01:00:51.300 --> 01:00:54.179
on a stretcher. Yep. There you go. There you

01:00:54.179 --> 01:00:56.159
fucking go. You like to do that or you got it

01:00:56.159 --> 01:00:58.880
back to you? Yeah. Well, enjoy it because more

01:00:58.880 --> 01:01:01.599
is coming, asshole. Yep. People owe you. Oh,

01:01:01.679 --> 01:01:05.059
yeah. Yeah. I think unofficially there's going

01:01:05.059 --> 01:01:08.530
to be a lot of bounty. against the Los Angeles

01:01:08.530 --> 01:01:11.869
Chargers next season. Yes. I think it's going

01:01:11.869 --> 01:01:14.750
to hurt them. Yeah, I think so too. All right,

01:01:14.909 --> 01:01:17.449
is Amazon or Netflix doing a better job with

01:01:17.449 --> 01:01:21.489
NFL? I'm going to say Amazon. I think Amazon's

01:01:21.489 --> 01:01:25.510
doing better. When they came out with that, the

01:01:25.510 --> 01:01:29.250
AWS, the Amazon stats and next -gen stats and

01:01:29.250 --> 01:01:33.449
the AI, all that kind of stuff, that was the

01:01:33.449 --> 01:01:38.250
whole idea. To show people, look, we can carry

01:01:38.250 --> 01:01:42.789
the football games. Yes. And now it's taken over.

01:01:43.090 --> 01:01:45.570
Like I said, Amazon used to be a company that

01:01:45.570 --> 01:01:48.309
sold products. Now they're a company that gathers

01:01:48.309 --> 01:01:50.650
marketing information and sells it to other people.

01:01:50.789 --> 01:01:53.050
And the way they gather it is by selling products.

01:01:53.150 --> 01:01:55.670
But the marketing information is the main goal

01:01:55.670 --> 01:01:59.369
now. Well, what's pissing me off is now on Amazon

01:01:59.369 --> 01:02:03.079
Prime. And actually, if you have a Fire Stick

01:02:03.079 --> 01:02:06.519
or a Smart TV through Amazon, what happens is

01:02:06.519 --> 01:02:10.019
when you pause a show, a commercial comes on.

01:02:10.440 --> 01:02:13.360
It's a flat steel commercial, but it's on. YouTube's

01:02:13.360 --> 01:02:17.639
doing that too. Yeah, it's bullshit. I think

01:02:17.639 --> 01:02:21.340
Netflix can catch up, but I'd rather have Netflix

01:02:21.340 --> 01:02:24.800
put money into more original programming. Me

01:02:24.800 --> 01:02:26.719
too. I wish they'd just stay out of NFL and let

01:02:26.719 --> 01:02:29.389
everyone else do it. Because eventually... The

01:02:29.389 --> 01:02:32.610
NFL is going to own the broadcast rights, and

01:02:32.610 --> 01:02:34.869
you just go directly to the NFL if you want to

01:02:34.869 --> 01:02:35.829
see the game. Yeah, they're going to do that

01:02:35.829 --> 01:02:38.230
with an app, I'm sure. You want to pay $50 a

01:02:38.230 --> 01:02:39.829
month, you can watch every game on your app.

01:02:39.909 --> 01:02:42.750
You can communicate with the NFL. You can order

01:02:42.750 --> 01:02:45.469
swag. You can order tickets. You can do everything

01:02:45.469 --> 01:02:49.230
on here. You want to tap dance? I mean, if the

01:02:49.230 --> 01:02:52.369
NFL is selling the rights. and the person or

01:02:52.369 --> 01:02:54.389
the company buying the rights can still make

01:02:54.389 --> 01:02:56.550
a profit, then that's profit the NFL could have

01:02:56.550 --> 01:02:58.670
made by keeping the rights. Yeah, that's true.

01:02:58.789 --> 01:03:01.389
And I know they know that. And it's going to

01:03:01.389 --> 01:03:03.469
get to the point where if you want to watch an

01:03:03.469 --> 01:03:06.590
NFL game, you have to go through the NFL to see

01:03:06.590 --> 01:03:09.969
it or get it. And then from there, it may move

01:03:09.969 --> 01:03:15.210
over to one of the casinos. Yeah. It's like MGM

01:03:15.210 --> 01:03:22.019
Grand presents the NFL kind of thing. Okay. You

01:03:22.019 --> 01:03:25.340
know, I'm going to do one more NFL, but you're

01:03:25.340 --> 01:03:27.659
talking about the casinos, right? You know what,

01:03:27.679 --> 01:03:29.820
I'm going to jump up to your question after this

01:03:29.820 --> 01:03:31.920
because you're talking about the casinos. The

01:03:31.920 --> 01:03:35.099
Royals canceled their contract with DraftKings.

01:03:35.739 --> 01:03:38.599
Is this because the elderly won't go to a gambling

01:03:38.599 --> 01:03:41.559
source to watch the game, or do they think that

01:03:41.559 --> 01:03:43.460
they got a bad deal? There's several of them

01:03:43.460 --> 01:03:45.780
that did that, not just the Royals. There's like

01:03:45.780 --> 01:03:47.360
four other teams that did that. I didn't get

01:03:47.360 --> 01:03:50.889
a chance to see the other teams. Do you believe

01:03:50.889 --> 01:03:53.710
that it has to do with your clientele base, or

01:03:53.710 --> 01:03:55.389
do you think there's something more to it, like

01:03:55.389 --> 01:03:56.730
they think they've got a better deal somewhere

01:03:56.730 --> 01:03:59.969
else? I think it has to do with the deal, because

01:03:59.969 --> 01:04:03.420
if you offer gambling... on the Royals, it doesn't

01:04:03.420 --> 01:04:05.480
matter who the Royals fan base is because people

01:04:05.480 --> 01:04:07.239
will get on there and bet against the Royals.

01:04:07.300 --> 01:04:09.800
That's right. And other baseball fans or people

01:04:09.800 --> 01:04:11.739
who just want to gamble. I mean, there's somebody

01:04:11.739 --> 01:04:14.139
who would gamble on the color of your next piss

01:04:14.139 --> 01:04:16.920
if they could. Michael Jordan, allegedly. Yeah.

01:04:18.260 --> 01:04:21.280
So I don't think it has really much to do with

01:04:21.280 --> 01:04:23.760
the clientele or fan base. It's just some of

01:04:23.760 --> 01:04:26.539
these teams realize they get a shit deal. And

01:04:26.539 --> 01:04:28.599
I'm wondering if it's the smaller market teams

01:04:28.599 --> 01:04:31.050
that got the crappy deals. I think it was. I

01:04:31.050 --> 01:04:33.190
think it's like the Cincinnati's and stuff like

01:04:33.190 --> 01:04:34.909
that, I do believe. I'll have to look it up.

01:04:35.250 --> 01:04:38.469
I'll come up with more, but okay. Then the question

01:04:38.469 --> 01:04:41.809
before is, is the pay -per -game coming to the

01:04:41.809 --> 01:04:44.650
NFL? So if you want this game, you can have it.

01:04:44.670 --> 01:04:48.489
It's going to be $7 .99. I think so. There's

01:04:48.489 --> 01:04:51.250
no flat order. I want the Chiefs all year on

01:04:51.250 --> 01:04:53.309
whatever. Yeah, I think it's going to be more

01:04:53.309 --> 01:04:55.329
all -the -cart, as you said. I think so, too.

01:04:55.849 --> 01:04:59.019
It's going to be Bistro. Yeah, yeah. Cafe style.

01:04:59.260 --> 01:05:04.119
Yes. Or what is it? Deli style. Deli style. That's

01:05:04.119 --> 01:05:06.659
what the weed dispensaries are doing now. You

01:05:06.659 --> 01:05:08.579
know, on the little tiny buds for the plants

01:05:08.579 --> 01:05:10.639
that don't grow and develop properly, and the

01:05:10.639 --> 01:05:12.500
buds turn out to be little tiny things. They

01:05:12.500 --> 01:05:14.280
used to sell them for a discount and call them

01:05:14.280 --> 01:05:17.659
budlets. Now they're charging more and calling

01:05:17.659 --> 01:05:21.039
it deli style. Of course. As, you know, the plant

01:05:21.039 --> 01:05:23.119
failed, but now they're turning it into, oh,

01:05:23.159 --> 01:05:24.780
well, this is a desirable thing, and we're going

01:05:24.780 --> 01:05:26.639
to charge you more for it. And everybody does

01:05:26.639 --> 01:05:31.219
it. Yeah. But I've noticed UFC has abandoned

01:05:31.219 --> 01:05:34.280
pay -per -view. There's no more pay -per -view

01:05:34.280 --> 01:05:36.340
UFC. It's all going to be from a streaming service.

01:05:36.400 --> 01:05:38.400
I think Paramount Plus now is where it goes.

01:05:38.500 --> 01:05:40.519
I agree. I think a lot of people are getting

01:05:40.519 --> 01:05:43.300
really burned on this pay -per -view stuff, but

01:05:43.300 --> 01:05:45.840
the NFL's got the advantage because they can

01:05:45.840 --> 01:05:49.340
guarantee you a close, competitive, tight game

01:05:49.340 --> 01:05:52.980
because they will influence it that way as the

01:05:52.980 --> 01:05:55.099
game is going and make sure it's not a blowout.

01:05:55.800 --> 01:05:57.940
But when it gets to the point the NFL is selling

01:05:57.940 --> 01:06:01.159
the pay -per -view, there's no reason not to

01:06:01.159 --> 01:06:03.980
control it. I mean, they can legally do it. There's

01:06:03.980 --> 01:06:06.719
nothing against the law in fixing a game or scripting

01:06:06.719 --> 01:06:09.139
a game because they never told you it was a fair

01:06:09.139 --> 01:06:11.380
and open sports competition. It's entertainment.

01:06:11.980 --> 01:06:15.019
I think it's going to go that way, and I think

01:06:15.019 --> 01:06:17.920
that will be one of the final things they do

01:06:17.920 --> 01:06:20.860
because... At that point, you're on the downward

01:06:20.860 --> 01:06:23.619
slope of people are getting so pissed off that

01:06:23.619 --> 01:06:26.539
you're squeezing them for every penny that they're

01:06:26.539 --> 01:06:28.820
going to start finding other things to do. I

01:06:28.820 --> 01:06:30.420
agree. Other ways to spend their money. They're

01:06:30.420 --> 01:06:32.059
like, you know what? This just ain't worth it

01:06:32.059 --> 01:06:34.659
anymore. Every time I turn around, I have to

01:06:34.659 --> 01:06:37.440
spend more and buy more and manage these accounts.

01:06:37.639 --> 01:06:40.000
Eh, forget it. I'm just going to do something

01:06:40.000 --> 01:06:43.840
else. I see it coming, but the NFL is going to

01:06:43.840 --> 01:06:46.360
be run into the ground and monetized all the

01:06:46.360 --> 01:06:48.320
way. They're going to squeeze every penny out

01:06:48.320 --> 01:06:51.239
of it and then leave a rotting corpse by the

01:06:51.239 --> 01:06:53.300
side of the road. That's pretty much what they're

01:06:53.300 --> 01:06:57.719
doing. Yeah. Look at it. Yeah. All right. Next

01:06:57.719 --> 01:07:00.280
one. Should baseball have a disclaimer? before

01:07:00.280 --> 01:07:02.820
every broadcast explaining that the game is slow

01:07:02.820 --> 01:07:05.280
and somewhat boring at times. I would think that

01:07:05.280 --> 01:07:07.139
would be a good public service. They could count

01:07:07.139 --> 01:07:08.780
that as a public service announcement. Yeah,

01:07:08.820 --> 01:07:11.380
yeah. They wouldn't have to do another one for

01:07:11.380 --> 01:07:13.420
I don't know how many more ads. And, you know,

01:07:13.420 --> 01:07:16.280
sign up a lot of sponsors for, like, energy drinks

01:07:16.280 --> 01:07:21.539
and coffee and pep pills and anything to keep

01:07:21.539 --> 01:07:29.659
you awake. Yeah. Yeah. Was it not Salman X? I

01:07:29.659 --> 01:07:31.940
think that puts you to sleep. Yeah. No does.

01:07:32.199 --> 01:07:34.940
Yeah, no does. There we go. Yeah, no does. Yeah.

01:07:35.440 --> 01:07:41.059
All right. Google it. All right. What does the

01:07:41.059 --> 01:07:43.619
best job covering the broadcasting for the NFL?

01:07:45.559 --> 01:07:53.159
Hmm. I'm going to say NBC. Is that the Sunday

01:07:53.159 --> 01:07:58.090
night? Yes. Yeah. I'd say so. They seem to do

01:07:58.090 --> 01:08:02.909
the best job of giving you information that you

01:08:02.909 --> 01:08:06.130
can actually use and need. I mean, they do throw

01:08:06.130 --> 01:08:09.610
in the goofy stuff and the, you know, hey, look

01:08:09.610 --> 01:08:12.969
at me stuff. Yeah. They talk too much about gambling.

01:08:13.050 --> 01:08:16.050
And, of course, all of the broadcast teams are

01:08:16.050 --> 01:08:18.569
relentless fans about, oh, isn't he just the

01:08:18.569 --> 01:08:20.989
greatest player? That's what gets me. I mean,

01:08:21.010 --> 01:08:24.270
Collinsworth, he just, like, everybody's the

01:08:24.270 --> 01:08:27.619
greatest guy ever. That last game that I saw...

01:08:27.619 --> 01:08:30.579
But he also criticizes very well, too. Yeah.

01:08:30.859 --> 01:08:33.220
I think it was the last game I saw the Chiefs

01:08:33.220 --> 01:08:41.340
play where the color commentator guy said three

01:08:41.340 --> 01:08:43.260
different times about three different players

01:08:43.260 --> 01:08:45.500
on the Chiefs roster. He said, that's the guy.

01:08:45.560 --> 01:08:47.140
That's the guy they trust right there. Yeah,

01:08:47.199 --> 01:08:50.079
they trust him. And he kept going back to that

01:08:50.079 --> 01:08:52.880
well over and over and over. And it became just

01:08:52.880 --> 01:08:55.479
so painfully obvious that he was... He was coming

01:08:55.479 --> 01:08:58.100
up with stuff to try to pad the stats to make

01:08:58.100 --> 01:08:59.920
it look better than what it was. Yeah, he was

01:08:59.920 --> 01:09:03.899
rah -rah. Chiefs are great. Broncos are great.

01:09:04.000 --> 01:09:06.180
Everybody's great. The country staffs are great.

01:09:06.279 --> 01:09:07.779
The fans are great. Everybody's wonderful and

01:09:07.779 --> 01:09:11.760
great. It's like handing out a participation

01:09:11.760 --> 01:09:14.319
trophy to everybody. You quit believing it means

01:09:14.319 --> 01:09:16.670
anything. Well, that's what I like about Tom

01:09:16.670 --> 01:09:19.390
Brady is Tom Brady will actually say something

01:09:19.390 --> 01:09:23.810
like, yeah, so -and -so, you know, isn't having

01:09:23.810 --> 01:09:27.289
a great season and kind of get into it a little

01:09:27.289 --> 01:09:29.229
bit because he doesn't care, I don't think. He's

01:09:29.229 --> 01:09:30.489
just like, you know, I'm just going to tell it

01:09:30.489 --> 01:09:33.750
like I see it. Romo's another one that's really

01:09:33.750 --> 01:09:36.869
bad about glad -handing everybody because I'll

01:09:36.869 --> 01:09:39.050
see him talk about one player and what a great

01:09:39.050 --> 01:09:40.970
defender he is. Oh, he's just so amazing. He's

01:09:40.970 --> 01:09:43.199
so quick and he never misses a play. And then

01:09:43.199 --> 01:09:46.020
the very next play, the guy gets burned. So instead

01:09:46.020 --> 01:09:48.539
of saying, oh, he got burned, he said, oh, yeah,

01:09:48.579 --> 01:09:50.880
the guy who scored on him, man, he's just a bastard.

01:09:51.020 --> 01:09:53.899
Yeah, he was. Just suddenly, oh, that guy screwed

01:09:53.899 --> 01:09:55.899
up. Well, let's just talk about this best, wonderful

01:09:55.899 --> 01:09:57.800
guy over here. And everybody's wonderful and

01:09:57.800 --> 01:10:01.579
the best, and nobody's farts stink. Most of these

01:10:01.579 --> 01:10:04.039
are former players, too. Yeah. And because they

01:10:04.039 --> 01:10:06.520
know how it feels to get criticized, so they're

01:10:06.520 --> 01:10:08.380
afraid to do it. They're like, oh, no, man, I

01:10:08.380 --> 01:10:10.319
remember that one asshole saying this or this

01:10:10.319 --> 01:10:12.920
about, you know. Yeah. And they realize that

01:10:12.920 --> 01:10:16.479
it's so easy now to find out what's been said

01:10:16.479 --> 01:10:18.800
about anybody, and they'll hold it against you.

01:10:18.819 --> 01:10:20.699
Next time you want an interview or ask a question,

01:10:20.859 --> 01:10:22.640
they'll just lie to your face or blow you off

01:10:22.640 --> 01:10:26.319
or something. It started with Chrissy Chandler.

01:10:26.479 --> 01:10:29.840
Yes. We're not getting anything close to the

01:10:29.840 --> 01:10:32.680
truth or the reality. We're just getting whatever

01:10:32.680 --> 01:10:35.340
the current story or spin is. Was that Jim Rome?

01:10:35.899 --> 01:10:38.600
Yeah, he was Chrissy Everett. Chrissy Everett.

01:10:38.600 --> 01:10:40.859
Jim Everett was the quarterback for the Rams.

01:10:40.880 --> 01:10:43.420
He called him Chris Everett. Chris Everett. Yeah,

01:10:43.479 --> 01:10:46.880
that was it. Yeah. And he also called him Chandelier.

01:10:46.899 --> 01:10:50.420
Not Chandler, but Chandelier. Chrissy Chandelier

01:10:50.420 --> 01:10:52.779
and stuff like that. Yeah. Until he came on the

01:10:52.779 --> 01:10:56.619
show and smacked the piss out of me. Yes. Then

01:10:56.619 --> 01:11:02.180
that changed. Yeah. And I remember I watched

01:11:02.180 --> 01:11:06.010
it a little while back again. And he goes, I

01:11:06.010 --> 01:11:07.670
think Jim Rohn said something like, you mean

01:11:07.670 --> 01:11:09.770
to tell me that if I say that again, you're going

01:11:09.770 --> 01:11:11.109
to smack me or something like that? And he goes,

01:11:11.109 --> 01:11:13.050
yeah. And he said it again, and he jumped up

01:11:13.050 --> 01:11:16.369
and smacked him. Yep. Told you. Yep. I wonder

01:11:16.369 --> 01:11:19.050
how much of that was staged for our entertainment.

01:11:19.050 --> 01:11:21.510
I wondered that, too, because watching it, to

01:11:21.510 --> 01:11:24.430
me, it wasn't overly convincing. Yeah. And no

01:11:24.430 --> 01:11:27.770
charges were filed. I think that's a no -brainer.

01:11:27.810 --> 01:11:29.890
It's like, charge the guy. Have him arrested.

01:11:30.710 --> 01:11:32.630
Otherwise, you're telling everyone it's okay

01:11:32.630 --> 01:11:34.449
to get on the air and smack Jim Rome around.

01:11:34.989 --> 01:11:38.170
So the fact that nobody ever even whispered about

01:11:38.170 --> 01:11:40.569
pressing charges or a lawsuit or anything, it

01:11:40.569 --> 01:11:44.770
makes it smell like a prearranged publicity stunt

01:11:44.770 --> 01:11:46.729
to me. Just like this, Jim Everett or any other

01:11:46.729 --> 01:11:48.949
quarterback that was any good at all didn't give

01:11:48.949 --> 01:11:51.270
a shit what anybody said about him anyhow. They

01:11:51.270 --> 01:11:52.729
knew what they did and they knew what they do.

01:11:52.909 --> 01:11:55.890
Yeah. So, all right. If the Packers aren't going

01:11:55.890 --> 01:12:01.750
well into the playoffs this season, is Matt LaFleur

01:12:01.750 --> 01:12:04.289
in trouble? Evidently not. This has been answered.

01:12:04.930 --> 01:12:07.210
Yeah, but I think he's one of those guys that

01:12:07.210 --> 01:12:09.590
might get fired in the middle of next season.

01:12:10.930 --> 01:12:13.729
After they re -upped him for four years or five

01:12:13.729 --> 01:12:16.470
years. Yeah, he starts out like two and seven

01:12:16.470 --> 01:12:21.270
next season. He's gone. Yeah. All right, and

01:12:21.270 --> 01:12:24.680
finally. Who has the nicest -looking pass in

01:12:24.680 --> 01:12:28.359
the NFL, spiral -wise, accuracy? Oh, wow. Yeah,

01:12:28.500 --> 01:12:34.039
I know. Man, there's been some awesome passers.

01:12:34.079 --> 01:12:36.800
I mean, Doug Williams for the Washington Redskins.

01:12:36.800 --> 01:12:38.000
Oh, my God, yeah, Washington Redskins, yeah.

01:12:38.300 --> 01:12:41.460
Beautiful, perfect, tight spiral. It could be

01:12:41.460 --> 01:12:44.920
raining, muddy, winds, doesn't matter. He threw

01:12:44.920 --> 01:12:47.800
a perfect pass. I'm still a huge fan of Doug

01:12:47.800 --> 01:12:50.460
Williams. Yeah, yeah. And also his testimony,

01:12:50.500 --> 01:12:54.239
too. Yeah. The way they treated him because he

01:12:54.239 --> 01:12:57.180
was African -American and a quarterback and telling

01:12:57.180 --> 01:12:59.100
him he wasn't smart enough and he couldn't get

01:12:59.100 --> 01:13:02.979
the schemes and all that. I mean, he still talks

01:13:02.979 --> 01:13:05.359
and is happy. I mean, I think I'd be bitter.

01:13:05.439 --> 01:13:06.840
I'd be like, you know what, fuck every one of

01:13:06.840 --> 01:13:10.239
you guys. It just really seems strange looking

01:13:10.239 --> 01:13:13.079
back that there was a time when the NFL owners

01:13:13.079 --> 01:13:15.399
let anything get in the way of making money.

01:13:15.770 --> 01:13:18.390
Yes. But they did. It's like, oh, black players?

01:13:18.510 --> 01:13:20.729
We don't want them at all. Yeah. And then it

01:13:20.729 --> 01:13:23.649
turned into, okay, it's working out to our advantage

01:13:23.649 --> 01:13:25.810
to have black players, but we're not going to

01:13:25.810 --> 01:13:28.630
let them be quarterbacks or head coaches or anything.

01:13:28.649 --> 01:13:30.529
Yeah, they're going to be running backs and stuff

01:13:30.529 --> 01:13:33.510
like that. Yeah. Yeah, it's crazy. But even into

01:13:33.510 --> 01:13:35.970
the 90s, there was still a lot of talk about

01:13:35.970 --> 01:13:41.369
the certain coaches that would be, like, threatening

01:13:41.369 --> 01:13:45.109
to quit if they hired a black man to be quarterback.

01:13:45.740 --> 01:13:50.060
But anymore, it's been pretty much weeded out

01:13:50.060 --> 01:13:53.319
that everybody realizes whoever can help us make

01:13:53.319 --> 01:13:56.039
more money and grow the NFL, that's who we want.

01:13:56.140 --> 01:13:58.760
We don't care where they come from, how they

01:13:58.760 --> 01:14:01.880
look, who they pray to, who they go to bed with.

01:14:01.920 --> 01:14:03.579
It doesn't matter. If they can make us money,

01:14:03.720 --> 01:14:07.600
we like them. And if you're a business owner,

01:14:07.720 --> 01:14:09.890
that's the way to do it. That's the intelligent

01:14:09.890 --> 01:14:11.909
thing to do. And also, a lot of times a team

01:14:11.909 --> 01:14:14.369
wants a certain player, and that player happens

01:14:14.369 --> 01:14:19.189
to be black. Yeah. I don't know of any fan base

01:14:19.189 --> 01:14:22.470
anymore that would really object to a black starting

01:14:22.470 --> 01:14:24.550
quarterback for their favorite team. Not anymore,

01:14:24.810 --> 01:14:27.890
no. I think people have – and, okay, the people

01:14:27.890 --> 01:14:29.609
that do still think like that have learned their

01:14:29.609 --> 01:14:32.689
lesson. Yeah, I think college helped weed that

01:14:32.689 --> 01:14:34.869
out too. I think so too. Because there's a lot

01:14:34.869 --> 01:14:37.850
more diversity. In college football, as far as

01:14:37.850 --> 01:14:41.369
what ethnicities are regularly starting in different

01:14:41.369 --> 01:14:45.270
positions, et cetera. So I think a lot of people,

01:14:45.289 --> 01:14:47.369
they watch college, and they love their college

01:14:47.369 --> 01:14:49.630
team more than they do their NFL team. Oh, there's

01:14:49.630 --> 01:14:51.930
a lot of them. And they realize, you know, well,

01:14:51.970 --> 01:14:53.850
I don't like that guy because he doesn't look

01:14:53.850 --> 01:14:56.449
right. Oh, my team's winning now, and he's playing

01:14:56.449 --> 01:14:58.850
well. Oh, I like that guy after all. You don't

01:14:58.850 --> 01:15:00.529
think college is that big? Go to Louisville,

01:15:00.590 --> 01:15:02.689
Kentucky, and you tell me that college isn't

01:15:02.689 --> 01:15:05.520
that big. Anywhere in the state of Texas. Yes.

01:15:05.520 --> 01:15:07.819
It's like a whole separate religion down there.

01:15:08.180 --> 01:15:11.060
Yeah. No, Louisville, I was very impressed with

01:15:11.060 --> 01:15:13.500
that because my cousin's daughter almost went

01:15:13.500 --> 01:15:15.479
to Louisville. Oh, yeah? We was there visiting

01:15:15.479 --> 01:15:17.199
the school. I met him there, you know, me and

01:15:17.199 --> 01:15:19.039
Val met him there to, you know, get together

01:15:19.039 --> 01:15:22.140
with family. And that whole town, that whole

01:15:22.140 --> 01:15:24.340
city, which is a good -sized city, about a million

01:15:24.340 --> 01:15:28.220
and a quarter or something like that, all Louisville

01:15:28.220 --> 01:15:31.479
Cardinals. Huge stadium everywhere, Louisville

01:15:31.479 --> 01:15:34.810
Cardinal this, Louisville Cardinal that. They,

01:15:34.930 --> 01:15:39.289
I mean, it's like, it's maybe better than a lot

01:15:39.289 --> 01:15:42.750
of proteins. Yeah. And it's interesting, there's,

01:15:42.750 --> 01:15:47.310
you know, I remember Dr. Martin Luther King saying,

01:15:47.470 --> 01:15:50.369
judge us on the content of our character rather

01:15:50.369 --> 01:15:52.609
than the color of our skin. Yeah. I think in

01:15:52.609 --> 01:15:55.810
sports, it is turned into that. It's like, we

01:15:55.810 --> 01:16:01.149
don't care what... ethnicity you are or where

01:16:01.149 --> 01:16:03.229
your parents are from or anything can you help

01:16:03.229 --> 01:16:06.569
us win okay we love you yeah and they're judging

01:16:06.569 --> 01:16:09.909
these athletes pregnant playing for the college

01:16:09.909 --> 01:16:13.649
teams on what they can do as far as helping the

01:16:13.649 --> 01:16:16.130
team win their athletic ability working together

01:16:16.130 --> 01:16:19.609
as a team and they don't care if you're from

01:16:19.609 --> 01:16:28.300
Tokyo or Chihuahua or wherever help us win No,

01:16:28.300 --> 01:16:32.180
I agree. Okay. After Saul said the Eagles won

01:16:32.180 --> 01:16:34.340
as many playoff games as the Chiefs did this

01:16:34.340 --> 01:16:39.579
season, which is a big fat zero. Okay. The Eagles

01:16:39.579 --> 01:16:41.239
have been rumored to make some big offensive

01:16:41.239 --> 01:16:44.579
coaching changes this offseason. Do you think

01:16:44.579 --> 01:16:50.319
that needs to happen? Yeah. Yeah. They've got

01:16:50.319 --> 01:16:55.500
the star running back. But if you're a one -dimensional

01:16:55.500 --> 01:16:57.399
team, it doesn't matter if your one dimension

01:16:57.399 --> 01:16:59.500
is running or passing. You're still one -dimensional

01:16:59.500 --> 01:17:01.319
and they can shut you down. Now you're getting

01:17:01.319 --> 01:17:04.640
into what I'm going to. Yeah. Okay. A lot of

01:17:04.640 --> 01:17:08.539
grumblings about Jalen Hurts. Do they need to

01:17:08.539 --> 01:17:11.100
look at the draft for another QB1? Or do you

01:17:11.100 --> 01:17:14.359
think that he's good enough? He was last season,

01:17:14.460 --> 01:17:18.560
but this season not so much. Has he been uncovered

01:17:18.560 --> 01:17:22.130
and found out? Or when Barkley's not having quite

01:17:22.130 --> 01:17:24.909
as good a season, he does not prop up Hurts enough?

01:17:26.069 --> 01:17:28.789
Yeah, I think it's more of that. I think Jalen

01:17:28.789 --> 01:17:33.850
Hurts is fine. I think that letting the running

01:17:33.850 --> 01:17:39.789
game falter a bit, not be so strong this season,

01:17:39.850 --> 01:17:42.029
and then their offensive coordinator obviously

01:17:42.029 --> 01:17:43.949
doing things wrong because they fired his ass.

01:17:44.090 --> 01:17:47.250
Yeah. But I think Jalen Hurts was mishandled

01:17:47.250 --> 01:17:50.470
and mismanaged. Basically the whole offensive

01:17:50.470 --> 01:17:54.510
philosophy for the team for this season just

01:17:54.510 --> 01:17:59.250
wasn't correct. Have a strong running game. Great.

01:17:59.310 --> 01:18:01.449
That's a great idea. Be able to run inside. Be

01:18:01.449 --> 01:18:03.630
able to run outside. Be able to throw to your

01:18:03.630 --> 01:18:05.750
running backs. But if that's all you've got,

01:18:05.890 --> 01:18:08.329
then you're going to get 11 guys in the box.

01:18:08.649 --> 01:18:12.949
You've got to have a long pass or a quick pass

01:18:12.949 --> 01:18:16.229
or something so they can't commit to stopping

01:18:16.229 --> 01:18:19.270
the running game. For the most part. It seemed

01:18:19.270 --> 01:18:21.050
like teams, when they face the Eagles, like,

01:18:21.109 --> 01:18:23.770
let's commit to stopping the run, and the passing

01:18:23.770 --> 01:18:26.050
game will take care of itself. And that kind

01:18:26.050 --> 01:18:28.670
of worked. I know it's foolproof, but it kind

01:18:28.670 --> 01:18:31.510
of worked against the Eagles. No, it did. Okay,

01:18:33.010 --> 01:18:35.609
then. The Chiefs have been rumored to be the

01:18:35.609 --> 01:18:37.989
same, that they're going to make big offensive

01:18:37.989 --> 01:18:40.930
changes, not in quarterback, but probably definitely

01:18:40.930 --> 01:18:45.810
receivers and the coaches. So, are both teams

01:18:45.810 --> 01:18:47.979
going to be back? Or do you think that they're

01:18:47.979 --> 01:18:49.640
both on the decline and they're going to have

01:18:49.640 --> 01:18:52.739
to sit back for a little bit? I think they're

01:18:52.739 --> 01:18:55.939
both going to come back strong next year. I think

01:18:55.939 --> 01:18:59.039
a good way for really either team to do it is

01:18:59.039 --> 01:19:04.239
paring your receiving core down to two, maybe

01:19:04.239 --> 01:19:09.060
three stars who are going to catch 80 % of your

01:19:09.060 --> 01:19:12.699
balls. Instead of having like five guys and they're

01:19:12.699 --> 01:19:15.279
constantly rotating in and out and nobody catches

01:19:15.279 --> 01:19:17.880
shit because nobody can get in rhythm and nobody's

01:19:17.880 --> 01:19:20.960
the featured guy. I agree. It didn't work. It

01:19:20.960 --> 01:19:23.600
didn't work at all last year. Well, Mahomes does

01:19:23.600 --> 01:19:26.239
that organically. You don't have to put in five

01:19:26.239 --> 01:19:28.859
kind of stars. No, he's going to spread it around.

01:19:29.159 --> 01:19:31.180
He always has. Just by himself, yeah. He always

01:19:31.180 --> 01:19:34.840
has and always will. But having the same one,

01:19:34.899 --> 01:19:37.479
two, and three receivers in for 90 % of your

01:19:37.479 --> 01:19:40.359
pass plays is going to be a good thing. It really

01:19:40.359 --> 01:19:47.260
is. It really is. No, I agree. So, do we go after

01:19:47.260 --> 01:19:50.840
that number one guy finally, or do we draft him?

01:19:52.260 --> 01:19:57.220
I think we have enough talent on the team right

01:19:57.220 --> 01:20:01.319
now that you could pick two or three of the guys

01:20:01.319 --> 01:20:05.649
that are on the team right now, and then... give

01:20:05.649 --> 01:20:07.869
the others lesser roles or trade them or whatever,

01:20:08.010 --> 01:20:10.750
and then draft the guy for the future. Because

01:20:10.750 --> 01:20:14.029
they do pretty well drafting receivers. But don't

01:20:14.029 --> 01:20:16.130
go out and find the guy because now it's somebody

01:20:16.130 --> 01:20:18.090
who's never worked in your system before and

01:20:18.090 --> 01:20:20.609
there's a learning curve and he's got to catch

01:20:20.609 --> 01:20:24.369
up. I'd say you've got the guys for next season.

01:20:24.550 --> 01:20:30.489
Go draft somebody. Okay. I agree. I think I'd

01:20:30.489 --> 01:20:33.329
probably be about the right one. Okay. So we

01:20:33.329 --> 01:20:35.340
both agree that both... The teams are going to

01:20:35.340 --> 01:20:37.619
be back. They're going to be a part of it again.

01:20:37.859 --> 01:20:41.220
Yeah. Okay. Do you want to go into the games

01:20:41.220 --> 01:20:44.060
coming up and do our predictions? Yeah. All righty.

01:20:45.279 --> 01:20:50.279
First one, 4 .30 p .m. Eastern time on CBS. The

01:20:50.279 --> 01:20:53.060
number six seed Bills at the number one seed

01:20:53.060 --> 01:21:01.590
Broncos. Wow. I used to really like snow games,

01:21:01.770 --> 01:21:04.710
but not so much anymore. It's more fun for rain.

01:21:04.890 --> 01:21:10.310
But I hope it's kind of a cool or cold day. I

01:21:10.310 --> 01:21:12.149
think that would make it more interesting for

01:21:12.149 --> 01:21:14.649
both teams to play. I think so too. And they're

01:21:14.649 --> 01:21:16.649
both cold weather teams. They both play in the

01:21:16.649 --> 01:21:19.550
cold enough. And outdoors. And outdoors. Yeah.

01:21:19.949 --> 01:21:22.869
I'm going to give the edge to the Broncos. I'm

01:21:22.869 --> 01:21:27.289
going to go. I'm going to have to go Broncos

01:21:27.289 --> 01:21:33.270
too. Although it pains me. Yeah. I'm thinking

01:21:33.270 --> 01:21:36.189
about how banged up Josh Allen particularly is.

01:21:36.229 --> 01:21:39.550
They lost some players. Yeah, they lost a lot

01:21:39.550 --> 01:21:42.029
of players. Yeah, and Denver's at home. They're

01:21:42.029 --> 01:21:46.810
well -rested from last week. And they don't have

01:21:46.810 --> 01:21:49.470
the pressure on them, I don't think, that the

01:21:49.470 --> 01:21:51.729
Bills have on them this year. They do not have

01:21:51.729 --> 01:21:53.390
the pressure. Enormous pressure on the Bills

01:21:53.390 --> 01:21:55.670
this year. They could coast to the Super Bowl

01:21:55.670 --> 01:21:57.909
on the clout that they have without any pressure

01:21:57.909 --> 01:22:01.729
right now. So next year will be different. This

01:22:01.729 --> 01:22:05.430
year, no. It would be embarrassing for the Broncos

01:22:05.430 --> 01:22:07.869
to get the number one seed and then lose at home

01:22:07.869 --> 01:22:11.289
in the first round. But that would be, I think,

01:22:11.289 --> 01:22:14.170
a lot more survivable than the Bills going in.

01:22:15.199 --> 01:22:17.579
getting blown out by Denver. Oh, if the Bills

01:22:17.579 --> 01:22:20.640
even lose this game, their whole franchise is

01:22:20.640 --> 01:22:22.920
going to be in question big time. Yeah, because

01:22:22.920 --> 01:22:26.060
the storybook setting is there. Last season in

01:22:26.060 --> 01:22:28.840
the old stadium, let's go all the way. It's our

01:22:28.840 --> 01:22:31.819
season. Mahomes is out. Jackson's out. The Steelers

01:22:31.819 --> 01:22:35.880
are out. So many teams have fallen by the wayside.

01:22:36.020 --> 01:22:39.060
The Bengals are out. Yeah. If you can't do it

01:22:39.060 --> 01:22:41.560
this season, Bills, then you can't do it. Yeah.

01:22:41.960 --> 01:22:45.510
Yeah, it should be a clear one for them. If I

01:22:45.510 --> 01:22:47.890
was the fans over there, I'd be fucking happy

01:22:47.890 --> 01:22:49.590
as hell going, look, everybody's out of your

01:22:49.590 --> 01:22:52.609
way. You guys just go do it. If the Bills hadn't

01:22:52.609 --> 01:22:55.270
gone on that losing streak, I'm pretty sure they

01:22:55.270 --> 01:22:57.270
would have had the number one seed. I know, but

01:22:57.270 --> 01:22:59.250
the thing is, is they shit the bed back then.

01:22:59.270 --> 01:23:03.250
Yeah. So we'll see. All right, how about the

01:23:03.250 --> 01:23:07.109
49ers, the number six seed 49ers at the number

01:23:07.109 --> 01:23:10.989
one seed, Seattle Seahawks. This will be 8 p

01:23:10.989 --> 01:23:16.239
.m. Eastern time on Fox. And this Saturday, January

01:23:16.239 --> 01:23:20.520
17th, in case I didn't say that earlier. Wow,

01:23:20.760 --> 01:23:23.340
you know, that's kind of tough to call. It is,

01:23:23.340 --> 01:23:25.899
isn't it? I'm tempted to go with the Niners because

01:23:25.899 --> 01:23:29.000
they're playing well and they're on fire and

01:23:29.000 --> 01:23:31.020
they're really believing in themselves. I actually

01:23:31.020 --> 01:23:33.479
think so, too. Even with George Kittle out and

01:23:33.479 --> 01:23:36.539
their other injuries, I'm not sure if Trent Williams

01:23:36.539 --> 01:23:38.899
is back in or not, but if Trent Williams is back

01:23:38.899 --> 01:23:41.239
in, I'm definitely giving it to the 49ers. Yeah.

01:23:41.920 --> 01:23:44.800
Remember when McCaffrey was supposedly done and

01:23:44.800 --> 01:23:47.579
they had this progressive leg disease that was

01:23:47.579 --> 01:23:50.140
never going to get any better? Suddenly no one

01:23:50.140 --> 01:23:52.600
even mentions that it ever happened. I know.

01:23:52.600 --> 01:23:54.479
It's like we were supposed to forget it was ever

01:23:54.479 --> 01:23:57.220
a thing. I guess some dead babies got injected.

01:23:57.359 --> 01:23:59.659
Yeah, yeah. Allegedly. After they were allegedly

01:23:59.659 --> 01:24:02.619
sacrificed to Satan. Yes, yeah, allegedly, yeah.

01:24:03.600 --> 01:24:06.579
So anymore when they say, oh, this catastrophic

01:24:06.579 --> 01:24:08.960
injury, I don't believe them because they say

01:24:08.960 --> 01:24:11.319
that about everything. So they can set it up

01:24:11.319 --> 01:24:14.939
for a miraculous return. I don't buy it anymore.

01:24:15.539 --> 01:24:19.960
Show me the x -ray. Same here. So I'm leaning

01:24:19.960 --> 01:24:22.899
towards the 49ers too. So we both pick the 49ers

01:24:22.899 --> 01:24:27.439
and we both pick the Broncos. I do want the Broncos

01:24:27.439 --> 01:24:29.859
to win over the Bills. Not because I hate the

01:24:29.859 --> 01:24:32.060
Bills, but because it's going to be interesting

01:24:32.060 --> 01:24:35.539
to see how the Bills react if they don't make

01:24:35.539 --> 01:24:38.640
it. all the way and win the Super Bowl, it's

01:24:38.640 --> 01:24:39.819
going to be interesting to see. That's a good

01:24:39.819 --> 01:24:42.899
question. That's a good question. They're going

01:24:42.899 --> 01:24:45.260
to doubt their whole scheme and go some way.

01:24:46.760 --> 01:24:49.760
Yeah. And no, they don't want to go limping into

01:24:49.760 --> 01:24:52.920
their new stadium with a failed playoff run.

01:24:53.300 --> 01:24:56.060
Playoffs. Playoffs. Yeah. No, they don't. Yeah.

01:24:56.300 --> 01:25:01.359
All right. Number five. This is the next round.

01:25:02.060 --> 01:25:05.050
Okay. It's going to be Sunday's games. Yeah.

01:25:05.510 --> 01:25:07.949
No, this is Saturday's game still. Oh, okay.

01:25:08.069 --> 01:25:12.770
Yeah. The Texans at the Patriots, ESPN, ABC,

01:25:12.890 --> 01:25:18.250
at 3 p .m. Eastern time. And this will be – I

01:25:18.250 --> 01:25:20.729
don't know why I skipped to the 8 o 'clock game.

01:25:21.090 --> 01:25:26.390
I have no idea. So, the Texans, I like what they're

01:25:26.390 --> 01:25:28.270
doing, but I'm with you. I don't think they have

01:25:28.270 --> 01:25:30.670
enough offense. Yeah. So, I'm going to say the

01:25:30.670 --> 01:25:32.949
Patriots are going to get them. What do you think?

01:25:33.500 --> 01:25:35.699
I think so, too. I know the Patriots haven't

01:25:35.699 --> 01:25:37.720
really beat anybody with a winning record this

01:25:37.720 --> 01:25:39.739
season, but that's such a misleading stat. It

01:25:39.739 --> 01:25:42.500
is. It is. I don't care. They beat every team

01:25:42.500 --> 01:25:44.699
they're supposed to and then a couple more. Yeah,

01:25:44.760 --> 01:25:48.600
yeah. And even teams with losing records can

01:25:48.600 --> 01:25:52.060
be really tough -ass opponents. There is no giving

01:25:52.060 --> 01:25:54.920
game in the NFL ever. Unless the team is 0 -17,

01:25:55.340 --> 01:25:57.260
then they are capable of winning, aren't they?

01:25:58.060 --> 01:26:01.840
Yeah, I think the Pats are definitely... Going

01:26:01.840 --> 01:26:05.260
to be able to take advantage of the Texans' lack

01:26:05.260 --> 01:26:08.720
of offense. Yeah, Romeo Cornell had the 0 -4

01:26:08.720 --> 01:26:13.739
team. Yeah. And I forgot who was before LeFleur

01:26:13.739 --> 01:26:19.300
had the no -loss team. Yeah. This Romeo Cornell's

01:26:19.300 --> 01:26:22.260
only year in Kansas City. They came to Kansas

01:26:22.260 --> 01:26:26.880
City and were huge, huge, huge favorites. And

01:26:26.880 --> 01:26:30.319
Kansas City beat their ass. So anything can happen

01:26:30.319 --> 01:26:32.699
in NFL. We had nobody. Tyler Thigpen, maybe?

01:26:32.880 --> 01:26:35.260
Yeah. Or something like that? Yeah. No running

01:26:35.260 --> 01:26:37.920
back to speak of. Yeah. So, yeah, don't tell

01:26:37.920 --> 01:26:40.680
me it can't be done. Yeah. So the Patriots doing

01:26:40.680 --> 01:26:44.159
what they did is phenomenal. Yeah. All right.

01:26:44.260 --> 01:26:46.600
So we both think the Patriots are going to do

01:26:46.600 --> 01:26:52.180
it? Yeah, I think so. This is 6 .30 p .m. Eastern

01:26:52.180 --> 01:26:56.319
Time, NBC. Number five Rams, number two Bears.

01:26:57.610 --> 01:27:01.829
I'm going to go with Rams like you. Pedigree

01:27:01.829 --> 01:27:04.670
is going to count so much on this. I think so,

01:27:04.829 --> 01:27:07.569
yeah. Matt Stafford is going to count so much

01:27:07.569 --> 01:27:13.090
on this. The Bears are still learning, and they're

01:27:13.090 --> 01:27:15.430
going to be there for a while. I just don't think

01:27:15.430 --> 01:27:18.149
they're quite there yet. Yeah, yeah. That big

01:27:18.149 --> 01:27:22.789
comeback against Green Bay was exciting and impressive,

01:27:22.970 --> 01:27:25.609
but it's not the kind of thing I think the Bears

01:27:25.609 --> 01:27:30.340
can do over and over. I think nine times out

01:27:30.340 --> 01:27:33.060
of ten, they fail in their comeback. Yes. We

01:27:33.060 --> 01:27:34.760
just saw the one time in ten where it worked.

01:27:35.300 --> 01:27:39.800
Yep. But, yeah, I really don't. Yeah, I can see

01:27:39.800 --> 01:27:43.920
the Bears getting in a hole, and then the maturity

01:27:43.920 --> 01:27:49.159
and experience of the Rams takes over. I don't

01:27:49.159 --> 01:27:50.819
know. It's probably going to be another one of

01:27:50.819 --> 01:27:52.539
those games where in the fourth quarter suddenly

01:27:52.539 --> 01:27:54.399
they're tied up and they go back and forth and

01:27:54.399 --> 01:27:58.229
back and forth like they're supposed to. But

01:27:58.229 --> 01:28:02.590
I tend to think the Rams are going to never be

01:28:02.590 --> 01:28:07.770
trailing from halftime on. Okay. All right, I

01:28:07.770 --> 01:28:17.109
could go along with that, too. All right. Okay,

01:28:17.270 --> 01:28:19.729
that was Sundays. I'm sorry. Oh, okay. Yeah,

01:28:19.789 --> 01:28:21.909
the Texas Patriots and the Rams and Bears are

01:28:21.909 --> 01:28:24.460
Sundays. I'm sorry. I said that, then went away

01:28:24.460 --> 01:28:26.420
from it, then you said that, then went away from

01:28:26.420 --> 01:28:29.359
it. It is Sundays. It's just the fact that my

01:28:29.359 --> 01:28:31.600
printer decided not to print it out up there,

01:28:31.640 --> 01:28:34.960
decided to print it down. Yeah. So this is Sunday,

01:28:35.039 --> 01:28:38.260
January 18th's games. Okay. So, all right. And

01:28:38.260 --> 01:28:39.939
I was thinking, gosh, that's a lot of games for

01:28:39.939 --> 01:28:42.460
one day, and isn't that all of them? Yeah, it

01:28:42.460 --> 01:28:45.079
is kind of all of them. Yeah, okay. All right,

01:28:45.140 --> 01:28:48.060
that's our predictions. All right. Let's see

01:28:48.060 --> 01:28:50.880
if I have anything. You got anything else on

01:28:50.880 --> 01:28:53.399
there? Yeah, I've got the longest tenured head

01:28:53.399 --> 01:28:56.979
coaches in NFL history. Good. At the start of

01:28:56.979 --> 01:29:01.460
the 2025 season, the longest tenured active head

01:29:01.460 --> 01:29:04.000
coaches were Mike Tomlin, John Harbaugh, and

01:29:04.000 --> 01:29:07.260
Andy Reid. Two of the three have been fired.

01:29:09.760 --> 01:29:11.800
At the end of the season, Harbaugh was fired

01:29:11.800 --> 01:29:15.430
from Baltimore Ravens after 18 years. And Tomlin

01:29:15.430 --> 01:29:18.289
stepped down slash was fired after 19 years.

01:29:19.689 --> 01:29:22.369
And then nine teams have dismissed their head

01:29:22.369 --> 01:29:24.489
coaches. We covered that before. But Andy Reid

01:29:24.489 --> 01:29:26.689
is now the longest tenured head coach in the

01:29:26.689 --> 01:29:28.750
league, having been at the helm of the Kansas

01:29:28.750 --> 01:29:32.170
City Chiefs for 13 years. So everybody that was

01:29:32.170 --> 01:29:34.430
coaching when Andy Reid got hired is gone. Is

01:29:34.430 --> 01:29:37.250
gone now. Yeah, at least with a different team.

01:29:37.529 --> 01:29:41.449
Yeah. Sean McDermott, Sean McVay, and Kyle Shanahan.

01:29:42.159 --> 01:29:44.779
are four years behind him with nine years apiece.

01:29:45.260 --> 01:29:47.920
Matt LaFleur and Zach Taylor have six years each.

01:29:48.920 --> 01:29:54.840
If you go back in history of the NFL to see who

01:29:54.840 --> 01:29:56.760
the longest tenure head coach is, we have a tie

01:29:56.760 --> 01:30:00.819
at number one. Curly Lambeau for the Packers,

01:30:00.899 --> 01:30:08.779
29 seasons from 1921 to 1949. He founded the

01:30:08.779 --> 01:30:12.300
Green Bay Packers in 1919 and played 10 seasons

01:30:12.300 --> 01:30:14.720
with the team before becoming a player coach

01:30:14.720 --> 01:30:19.479
in 1929. That year he led the Packers to the

01:30:19.479 --> 01:30:22.279
NFL championship because there was no Super Bowl

01:30:22.279 --> 01:30:26.279
prior to 1967 and then retired as a player continuing

01:30:26.279 --> 01:30:29.619
as a coach. for the next 20 years, winning five

01:30:29.619 --> 01:30:33.800
more NFL championships in 1930, 31, 36, 39, and

01:30:33.800 --> 01:30:36.119
44. What's this guy's name again? Curly Lambeau.

01:30:36.180 --> 01:30:38.619
Oh, Curly Lambeau. Lambeau Field. Lambeau Field.

01:30:38.699 --> 01:30:42.699
Yeah, the Lambeau League. So he was named to

01:30:42.699 --> 01:30:52.399
the NFL's 100th anniversary all -time team. Now

01:30:52.399 --> 01:30:55.159
tied with him is Tom Landry. For the Cowboys,

01:30:55.220 --> 01:31:01.020
also 29 seasons from 1960 to 1988. Landry was

01:31:01.020 --> 01:31:04.619
the first coach of the Cowboys in 1960, and he

01:31:04.619 --> 01:31:07.479
would set an NFL record of 20 consecutive winning

01:31:07.479 --> 01:31:11.020
seasons during his tenure. Landry led Dallas

01:31:11.020 --> 01:31:14.199
to two Super Bowl wins, defeating the Miami Dolphins

01:31:14.199 --> 01:31:16.760
in Super Bowl VI and the Denver Broncos in the

01:31:16.760 --> 01:31:19.840
Super Bowl XII. He was named the NFL's Coach

01:31:19.840 --> 01:31:23.520
of the Year in 1966 and the UPI NFL Coach of

01:31:23.520 --> 01:31:27.859
the Year in 1975. Wow. UPI, that was United Press

01:31:27.859 --> 01:31:30.140
International. Yeah, they're still around, actually.

01:31:30.140 --> 01:31:32.500
They're still around? Yeah. Okay. They have this

01:31:32.500 --> 01:31:35.119
segment I look at every now and then called Weird

01:31:35.119 --> 01:31:38.479
News. Oh, cool. And you can find some crazy shit

01:31:38.479 --> 01:31:41.420
going on there. It's pretty good. All right.

01:31:42.300 --> 01:31:45.880
Tom Landry was an innovator. With the 4 -3 defense

01:31:45.880 --> 01:31:48.760
being among his creations. Really? I didn't know

01:31:48.760 --> 01:31:51.739
that. Tom Langer invented the 4 -3 defense. I

01:31:51.739 --> 01:31:53.380
wonder what they did before then. I think it

01:31:53.380 --> 01:31:56.840
was more like a 4 -4. Really? Yeah. Okay. Or

01:31:56.840 --> 01:32:00.619
a 5 -2. Because it was more heavily a run league.

01:32:01.039 --> 01:32:04.340
Yeah. Okay. That's why. That's why. Okay. Got

01:32:04.340 --> 01:32:07.520
it. Yeah. In second place, Don Shula for the

01:32:07.520 --> 01:32:11.579
Miami Dolphins. 26 seasons. 1970 through 1995.

01:32:12.939 --> 01:32:15.500
So he took over when I was a little kid in grade

01:32:15.500 --> 01:32:19.560
school. And by the time he finished, I was married,

01:32:19.699 --> 01:32:27.079
had two kids. Wow. Playing in a band. From 1970

01:32:27.079 --> 01:32:30.199
through 1995, Shula had the legendary run as

01:32:30.199 --> 01:32:32.800
head of the coach of the Dolphins. Shula led

01:32:32.800 --> 01:32:35.119
the Dolphins to a pair of championships in Super

01:32:35.119 --> 01:32:39.140
Bowl VII and Super Bowl VIII. Miami had a perfect

01:32:39.140 --> 01:32:42.420
season in 1972, making Shula the only coach in

01:32:42.420 --> 01:32:45.100
NFL history to go undefeated through regular

01:32:45.100 --> 01:32:48.659
season, postseason, and championship. Now, back

01:32:48.659 --> 01:32:51.539
then, they played six preseason games, and he

01:32:51.539 --> 01:32:54.520
lost all of them that season. Lost every single

01:32:54.520 --> 01:32:58.600
one. Shows him how little that matters. No, I

01:32:58.600 --> 01:33:01.119
know. If you can just look at the Chiefs for

01:33:01.119 --> 01:33:03.579
that, they don't give one ounce of shit about

01:33:03.579 --> 01:33:05.829
the preseason, as you shouldn't. And according

01:33:05.829 --> 01:33:07.930
to my uncle Mike, who was a very big Dolphins

01:33:07.930 --> 01:33:11.029
fan, he said during that 72 perfect season, they

01:33:11.029 --> 01:33:13.569
won the coin toss just about every single time.

01:33:14.930 --> 01:33:17.069
So people had to know things were going their

01:33:17.069 --> 01:33:20.869
way. No, there is a thing about luck like that.

01:33:20.949 --> 01:33:23.670
The Chiefs were like that too for many years.

01:33:23.750 --> 01:33:26.529
They won every coin toss, and they always deferred,

01:33:26.529 --> 01:33:28.869
and they always scored first in the third quarter,

01:33:28.970 --> 01:33:31.289
and they always won. There's something to the

01:33:31.289 --> 01:33:33.529
luck that you create for yourself. I've always

01:33:33.529 --> 01:33:36.039
said. A lot of people don't seem to understand

01:33:36.039 --> 01:33:37.720
what I'm saying, but I think you do, don't you?

01:33:37.920 --> 01:33:40.819
Yeah. You create your own luck by your own actions.

01:33:41.000 --> 01:33:43.100
Yeah. Part of it is getting your opponent to

01:33:43.100 --> 01:33:45.399
show up thinking they've already lost. Yes. It's

01:33:45.399 --> 01:33:46.979
like, oh, we're not going to win this plane toss.

01:33:47.140 --> 01:33:49.100
They always win. And the most luckiest things

01:33:49.100 --> 01:33:51.479
happen to you because you set the universe up

01:33:51.479 --> 01:33:55.079
like that. Yep. So anyhow, go ahead. Let's see.

01:33:55.180 --> 01:33:58.180
Shula was named the AP's Associated Press NFL

01:33:58.180 --> 01:34:03.680
Coach of the Year in 64, 67, 68, and 72. Shula

01:34:03.680 --> 01:34:07.420
is the winningest coach in NFL history with 328

01:34:07.420 --> 01:34:12.060
regular season wins. Wow. That's amazing. And

01:34:12.060 --> 01:34:14.479
doesn't he have the only perfect record? Yep,

01:34:14.539 --> 01:34:20.840
only one. 16 -0, but still. 16 -0 has been done,

01:34:20.859 --> 01:34:24.079
but not with a world champion. Yeah, yeah. Actually,

01:34:24.079 --> 01:34:30.079
it was a 14 -game season, two playoffs, and it

01:34:30.079 --> 01:34:33.680
would have been 17 -0. Oh, 17 -0, okay. But,

01:34:33.800 --> 01:34:36.899
yeah, 328 regular season wins, and he started

01:34:36.899 --> 01:34:38.880
and played a lot of his career when there were

01:34:38.880 --> 01:34:42.420
only 14 games in the season. Yeah. So that's

01:34:42.420 --> 01:34:46.340
even better. Number three on the list, Bill Belichick,

01:34:46.340 --> 01:34:50.500
I mean Chick, Patriots, 24 seasons from 2000

01:34:50.500 --> 01:34:53.000
to 2023. Doesn't that just sound good, the Patriots?

01:34:53.279 --> 01:34:56.319
It does. Belichick was hired by the New England

01:34:56.319 --> 01:35:00.479
Patriots on January 27, 2000. He was at the helm

01:35:00.479 --> 01:35:02.979
of their dynasty, leading the team to six Super

01:35:02.979 --> 01:35:12.760
Bowl victories in 21, 25, 36, 38, 39, 49, 51,

01:35:12.920 --> 01:35:17.380
and 53. Okay. So his first Super Bowl was Super

01:35:17.380 --> 01:35:20.619
Bowl XXI. The last was Super Bowl 53. Didn't

01:35:20.619 --> 01:35:27.600
he have two with Bill Parcells? I think so, yeah.

01:35:28.270 --> 01:35:31.430
I believe he did. He was a coordinator. Yeah.

01:35:31.630 --> 01:35:34.170
But I believe he got two with Bill Parcells and

01:35:34.170 --> 01:35:36.350
his Giants team. At least one. I think maybe

01:35:36.350 --> 01:35:39.430
two. It says Belichick ranks first among all

01:35:39.430 --> 01:35:44.170
NFL coaches in playoff wins with 31 playoff victories.

01:35:44.529 --> 01:35:47.649
Shit. He was named Associated Press NFL Coach

01:35:47.649 --> 01:35:52.250
of the Year in 2003, 2007, and 2010. And he was

01:35:52.250 --> 01:35:54.989
the only active coach selected at the NFL's 100th

01:35:54.989 --> 01:36:00.029
anniversary all -time team. Wow. Okay. We've

01:36:00.029 --> 01:36:03.569
got a tie for number four. Chuck Knoll with the

01:36:03.569 --> 01:36:08.550
Steelers, 23 seasons, 69 through 91. The Steelers

01:36:08.550 --> 01:36:10.710
hired Knoll as their head coach on January 27,

01:36:11.130 --> 01:36:14.930
1969, and his tenure lasted 23 years. Over that

01:36:14.930 --> 01:36:17.409
span, Knoll led the Steelers to four Super Bowl

01:36:17.409 --> 01:36:21.489
victories, Super Bowls 9 and 10 and Super Bowls

01:36:21.489 --> 01:36:25.430
13 and 14. So he had back -to -back, a couple

01:36:25.430 --> 01:36:27.859
years off, two more back -to -back. Oh, wow.

01:36:28.119 --> 01:36:30.640
It's the second most in NFL history behind only

01:36:30.640 --> 01:36:33.720
Bill Belichick. He was named the Maxwell Club's

01:36:33.720 --> 01:36:37.579
NFL Coach of the Year in 1989 and the UPI AFC

01:36:37.579 --> 01:36:40.819
Coach of the Year in 1972. Noel was selected

01:36:40.819 --> 01:36:43.260
to the NFL 100th Anniversary All -Time Team.

01:36:44.720 --> 01:36:49.279
Wow. Going back to the last one tied in fourth

01:36:49.279 --> 01:36:53.020
place is Steve Owen. head coach of the Giants

01:36:53.020 --> 01:36:58.279
for 23 seasons from 1931 to 1953. He started

01:36:58.279 --> 01:37:00.520
as a player coach for the New York Giants in

01:37:00.520 --> 01:37:03.479
1931. He continued coaching the team long after

01:37:03.479 --> 01:37:05.500
his playing career ended, and he led the Giants

01:37:05.500 --> 01:37:09.659
to two NFL championships in 1934 and 1938 during

01:37:09.659 --> 01:37:12.439
his tenure. He's still the winningest head coach

01:37:12.439 --> 01:37:17.100
in franchise history with 153. Owen was deducted

01:37:17.100 --> 01:37:20.890
into the Giants' Ring of Honor in 2010. Now,

01:37:20.930 --> 01:37:23.710
George Hallis of the Chicago Bears would have

01:37:23.710 --> 01:37:27.289
made this list with 40 seasons, but they weren't

01:37:27.289 --> 01:37:30.710
all in a row. Oh, okay. He kept firing himself

01:37:30.710 --> 01:37:32.989
as head coach and hiring somebody else. Oh, that's

01:37:32.989 --> 01:37:34.510
right. And then he'd fire them and take over

01:37:34.510 --> 01:37:36.369
again. Because he was the owner of the team,

01:37:36.489 --> 01:37:38.729
he would just hire himself as head coach. He

01:37:38.729 --> 01:37:41.989
did four 10 -year stints as head coach, but he

01:37:41.989 --> 01:37:46.369
kept firing himself. At least he was fair. Yeah.

01:37:47.069 --> 01:37:48.789
He's like, damn, I don't know what I'm doing.

01:37:49.010 --> 01:37:51.789
I better fire myself. Come here. You coach this

01:37:51.789 --> 01:37:53.750
team. You know what? You're doing less than me,

01:37:53.869 --> 01:37:55.710
so you're fired, and I'm back in there. Yeah,

01:37:55.729 --> 01:37:57.369
it was usually a year or two, and then he's like,

01:37:57.449 --> 01:37:58.850
nah, I'm coaching. Yeah, this ain't working.

01:37:58.909 --> 01:38:03.789
Fuck you. Get out of here. Wow. Is that it? That's

01:38:03.789 --> 01:38:07.229
it. How about some Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen

01:38:07.229 --> 01:38:11.090
career stats? Year by year here. We hear so much.

01:38:11.739 --> 01:38:15.819
We hear so much about Mr. Allen and best guy

01:38:15.819 --> 01:38:17.699
ever. Oh, my God. Yeah, I've never seen anything

01:38:17.699 --> 01:38:21.260
like him. Oh, geez. Oh, fuck. Everything. Everything.

01:38:21.380 --> 01:38:25.819
Yeah, the Josh Allen fan club really seems to

01:38:25.819 --> 01:38:29.939
be huge and vocal. And I love Josh Allen. I do.

01:38:30.239 --> 01:38:32.899
But what I don't love is these idiots that put

01:38:32.899 --> 01:38:35.920
him ahead of Mahomes. Yeah. It's ridiculous at

01:38:35.920 --> 01:38:38.659
this point. It's a real bad look when you're

01:38:38.659 --> 01:38:42.130
being so obvious. promote him and push him into

01:38:42.130 --> 01:38:44.810
the forefront. Like, why are you trying so hard?

01:38:44.890 --> 01:38:46.770
You make me suspicious just because you're trying

01:38:46.770 --> 01:38:50.010
so freaking hard. Exactly. And also, if you took

01:38:50.010 --> 01:38:53.010
Josh Allen by himself, candidly, and go, who's

01:38:53.010 --> 01:38:55.689
a better quarterback? He would say Mahomes. Yeah,

01:38:55.710 --> 01:38:58.869
I imagine so. Yeah, and I mean, talking honestly,

01:38:59.210 --> 01:39:01.569
he would be like, yeah, Mahomes. He's got three

01:39:01.569 --> 01:39:04.670
Super Bowls, five all together, got three rings.

01:39:04.930 --> 01:39:10.470
Meet me every time. So, okay. The first year,

01:39:10.689 --> 01:39:14.149
Josh Allen, I can't, like, compare year to year

01:39:14.149 --> 01:39:18.090
because the home started 2017. True. And then,

01:39:18.170 --> 01:39:23.550
well, actually, 2017, I could just throw that

01:39:23.550 --> 01:39:25.909
away and start with 2018 because he played one

01:39:25.909 --> 01:39:30.329
game in 2017. Yeah. And he had 22 completions

01:39:30.329 --> 01:39:37.029
out of 35 attempts, 62 .9 with 284 yards, no

01:39:37.029 --> 01:39:39.909
touchdowns. No interceptions, so. Still damn

01:39:39.909 --> 01:39:43.390
good. Yeah, yeah, still damn good. And that prompted

01:39:43.390 --> 01:39:45.630
them to go ahead and trade Alex Smith the next

01:39:45.630 --> 01:39:48.289
year and keep him. Yeah. Okay, so let's go to

01:39:48.289 --> 01:39:56.470
2018. Josh Allen had 169, 320 attempts, 169 completions,

01:39:56.470 --> 01:40:02.909
52 .8, 2 ,074 yards, 10 touchdowns, 12 interceptions,

01:40:02.970 --> 01:40:10.199
and a 67 .9 rating. Nothing too exciting there.

01:40:10.439 --> 01:40:16.720
No. The Chiefs, 2018, Mahomes, 16 games, and

01:40:16.720 --> 01:40:20.779
it was 12 games for Allen his first year. Okay.

01:40:20.819 --> 01:40:28.760
He had 580 attempts, 383 completions, 66 percentage

01:40:28.760 --> 01:40:36.640
completion rate, 5 ,097 yards. Wow. Yes. 50 touchdowns.

01:40:37.069 --> 01:40:42.109
12 interceptions for a 113 .8. That's a huge

01:40:42.109 --> 01:40:44.869
difference. Yes. Between Allen's year and Mahomes'

01:40:45.029 --> 01:40:50.210
year. Let's go to 2019. Okay. 2019, 16 games

01:40:50.210 --> 01:40:54.430
and 14 games for Mahomes. He got hurt in Denver,

01:40:54.510 --> 01:40:59.210
I believe. Yeah, I think so. Okay. All right.

01:40:59.630 --> 01:41:04.449
Josh Allen had 461 attempts, 271 completions,

01:41:04.449 --> 01:41:12.840
58 .8. Completion ratio, 3 ,089 yards, 20 touchdowns,

01:41:12.840 --> 01:41:21.100
and nine interceptions for an 85 .3 percentage.

01:41:21.439 --> 01:41:23.600
That's still two to one touchdown to interception.

01:41:23.720 --> 01:41:29.399
That's, man. Yeah, fair. Yeah. Okay, 2019 for

01:41:29.399 --> 01:41:34.060
Mr. Mahomes would be in 14 games, 484 attempts,

01:41:34.239 --> 01:41:40.680
319 completions. 65 .9 completion ratio, 4 ,031

01:41:40.680 --> 01:41:45.659
yards, 26 touchdowns, five interceptions, 105

01:41:45.659 --> 01:41:50.340
.3. Josh Allen was throwing one interception

01:41:50.340 --> 01:41:52.380
for every two touchdowns. Mahomes was throwing

01:41:52.380 --> 01:41:55.479
one interception for every five touchdowns. Exactly.

01:41:55.500 --> 01:41:59.920
Big difference. Yep. All right, 2020 Chiefs versus

01:41:59.920 --> 01:42:06.300
Mahomes versus Allen. Let's see. Okay, 16 games

01:42:06.300 --> 01:42:12.100
for Allen. He had 572 attempts, 396 completions,

01:42:12.100 --> 01:42:18.220
a 69 .2 percentage, 4 ,544 yards, 37 touchdowns,

01:42:18.220 --> 01:42:21.840
10 interceptions, 107 .2. Best season so far.

01:42:21.939 --> 01:42:25.239
Yes. So let's go to the 2020 Mahomes then. Yeah.

01:42:25.520 --> 01:42:33.380
15 games, one game less, 588 attempts, 390 completions.

01:42:33.710 --> 01:42:40.970
66 .3 completion, 4 ,740 yards, 38 touchdowns,

01:42:40.970 --> 01:42:46.550
6 interceptions. Better than 6 -1. Yes. 108 .2

01:42:46.550 --> 01:42:50.430
quarterback rating. So are you getting a pattern

01:42:50.430 --> 01:42:54.250
here? Yeah, he's always behind Mahomes stat -wise.

01:42:54.390 --> 01:42:56.930
Sometimes way behind, sometimes a little bit

01:42:56.930 --> 01:43:00.409
behind. But either way, every time behind Mahomes.

01:43:00.569 --> 01:43:06.710
Yeah. So let's go to 2021. 17 games for Josh

01:43:06.710 --> 01:43:12.770
Allen. 13 games for, and I don't know, I can't

01:43:12.770 --> 01:43:15.170
remember, was he hurt that many times, I guess,

01:43:15.289 --> 01:43:19.430
in 2021? I guess he was, wasn't he? Okay, and

01:43:19.430 --> 01:43:24.470
17 games for him too as well. Attempts, okay,

01:43:24.689 --> 01:43:34.349
for Josh Allen, it is, for 17 games, 409. 696

01:43:34.349 --> 01:43:39.329
attempts, 409 completions, 63 .3 completion ratio,

01:43:39.590 --> 01:43:44.489
4 ,407 yards, 36 touchdowns, 15 interceptions

01:43:44.489 --> 01:43:48.689
for a 92 .2. Not that good. Yeah, getting close

01:43:48.689 --> 01:43:51.890
to 2 -1 on interception to touchdown again. Yeah.

01:43:52.170 --> 01:43:55.409
So let's go back to Mahomes here for the 2021,

01:43:55.590 --> 01:44:00.710
and this is in 13 games. Or no, 17 games, sorry.

01:44:02.229 --> 01:44:08.189
658 attempts, 436 completions, 66 .3 completion

01:44:08.189 --> 01:44:10.770
percentage. Really consistent with that. Very

01:44:10.770 --> 01:44:16.369
much so. All really close. With completely different

01:44:16.369 --> 01:44:20.329
receivers, the only one steady was Kelsey. Yeah.

01:44:20.470 --> 01:44:27.470
4 ,836 yards, 37 touchdowns, 13 interceptions,

01:44:27.630 --> 01:44:34.289
98 .4. to Josh Allen's 92 .2. So let's go to

01:44:34.289 --> 01:44:42.270
2022. 16 games for Allen, 17 games for Mahomes.

01:44:43.590 --> 01:44:49.449
Attempts, 567, 359, this is for Allen, completions,

01:44:49.449 --> 01:44:56.470
63 .3 completion, 4 ,283 yards, 35 touchdowns,

01:44:56.470 --> 01:45:00.609
14 interceptions. 96 .6, which is respectable.

01:45:00.689 --> 01:45:08.010
Very. So, let's go to Mahomes. 17 games, 648

01:45:08.010 --> 01:45:15.029
attempts, 435 completions, 67 .1 completion ratio,

01:45:15.409 --> 01:45:19.029
5 ,250 yards. One of the all -time great, great

01:45:19.029 --> 01:45:21.350
seedlings ever. It's like 1 ,000 more than Allen

01:45:21.350 --> 01:45:25.569
again. Yeah. Yep, again. 41 touchdowns, 12 interceptions,

01:45:25.670 --> 01:45:30.189
105 .2 rating. Wow. So right there alone, who

01:45:30.189 --> 01:45:32.590
was beating who hands down without even fucking

01:45:32.590 --> 01:45:34.970
being close? Every season, Mahomes is ahead.

01:45:35.170 --> 01:45:37.729
Yeah. Every season. Even on his quote -unquote

01:45:37.729 --> 01:45:43.149
bad seasons, he's ahead. So let's go to 2023.

01:45:43.289 --> 01:45:52.829
He had 16 games. 2023, 17 games for Allen. 579

01:45:52.829 --> 01:45:57.689
attempts, 385 completions, 66 .5 completion ratio,

01:45:57.989 --> 01:46:04.289
4 ,306 yards, 29 touchdowns, 18... Wait a minute,

01:46:04.329 --> 01:46:07.930
I did that one, 92 .2 receptions. No, this is

01:46:07.930 --> 01:46:12.510
different. Yeah, it is, okay. So, 29 touchdowns,

01:46:12.510 --> 01:46:16.569
18 interceptions, 92 .2 rating. 29 versus 18.

01:46:16.770 --> 01:46:20.350
That's not good. That's not even two touchdowns

01:46:20.350 --> 01:46:22.229
for every interception. And this is the season

01:46:22.229 --> 01:46:25.569
Mahomes is getting bagged on really bad. 16 games,

01:46:25.909 --> 01:46:31.449
597 attempts, 401 completions, 67 .2 completion

01:46:31.449 --> 01:46:37.189
ratio. Right again, 4 ,183 yards. And remember,

01:46:37.390 --> 01:46:38.970
this is the season he's getting all different

01:46:38.970 --> 01:46:42.630
kinds of bullshit for. Yeah. 27 touchdowns, 14

01:46:42.630 --> 01:46:44.930
interceptions, which is unusual for him at a

01:46:44.930 --> 01:46:49.250
92 .6 ratio. Again, better than Allen at a 92

01:46:49.250 --> 01:46:52.310
.2. That's the first time Mahomes has been as

01:46:52.310 --> 01:46:55.109
low as 2 -1 on touchdowns and interceptions.

01:46:55.229 --> 01:46:59.630
Yeah. Yep. And let's go to 2024. 17 games for

01:46:59.630 --> 01:47:05.750
Allen, 483 attempts, 307 completions, 63 .3 ratio,

01:47:06.130 --> 01:47:11.930
3 ,731. 31 yards, so he's only in the high threes

01:47:11.930 --> 01:47:19.170
there, and only 3 ,070. 28 touchdowns to 16 interceptions.

01:47:19.569 --> 01:47:24.029
Worse than 2 -1 again? Yes. And believe it or

01:47:24.029 --> 01:47:27.750
not, a 102. No, it isn't. Where did the rating

01:47:27.750 --> 01:47:36.090
go? Yeah, okay. 25, no, 28 to 6. 101 .4 quarterback

01:47:36.090 --> 01:47:42.489
rating. And then Mahomes 2024, 16 games, 581

01:47:42.489 --> 01:47:48.609
attempts, 391. So out of 581, he had almost 400

01:47:48.609 --> 01:47:56.710
completion yards. And 67 .5, 3 ,928 yards, 26

01:47:56.710 --> 01:47:59.550
touchdowns, 11 interceptions. And this is a season

01:47:59.550 --> 01:48:04.210
he got a lot of flack for, too. 93 .5 quarterback

01:48:04.210 --> 01:48:06.770
rating. That was lower than Mahomes' standard.

01:48:07.640 --> 01:48:10.279
He's still better than Josh Allen year after

01:48:10.279 --> 01:48:12.520
year after year. That's what I'm saying is where

01:48:12.520 --> 01:48:15.600
are they getting this bullshit at? So then finally

01:48:15.600 --> 01:48:18.199
this year it's really kind of incomplete because

01:48:18.199 --> 01:48:21.560
Mahomes went down with injury. But Josh Allen

01:48:21.560 --> 01:48:26.460
had 16 games, 460 attempts, 319 completions,

01:48:26.460 --> 01:48:34.539
69 .4 completion ratio, 3 ,668 yards, 25 touchdowns,

01:48:34.539 --> 01:48:38.819
10 interceptions, 102 .2. Then the Chiefs, like

01:48:38.819 --> 01:48:41.979
I said, this is not a good one to judge it by

01:48:41.979 --> 01:48:44.699
because he was injured for the last three games.

01:48:45.180 --> 01:48:51.180
So he played 11 games, and he had 502 attempts,

01:48:51.359 --> 01:48:55.939
315 completion, 62 .8 completion, which is really

01:48:55.939 --> 01:49:00.140
low for him. 3 ,587 yards, not that far behind

01:49:00.140 --> 01:49:05.729
Josh Allen with three games less. 22 touchdowns,

01:49:05.729 --> 01:49:08.130
11 interceptions, which is 2 -1, which is not

01:49:08.130 --> 01:49:13.109
like him. Yeah. 89 .6 quarterback rating. Yeah.

01:49:13.609 --> 01:49:16.329
So, want to hear the rushing yards from each

01:49:16.329 --> 01:49:19.289
one of them? Yeah. Not that far off like one

01:49:19.289 --> 01:49:23.729
would think. Because if you heard any of the

01:49:23.729 --> 01:49:28.369
media, you would go, oh my gosh, Josh Allen can

01:49:28.369 --> 01:49:35.060
run so much more than... Emma Holmes, don't tell

01:49:35.060 --> 01:49:37.539
me it didn't fucking print out. Oh, okay, no,

01:49:37.600 --> 01:49:42.619
it didn't. Okay, okay. Okay. Rushing stats for

01:49:42.619 --> 01:49:49.659
Josh Allen. 2028, he had 89 attempts for 631

01:49:49.659 --> 01:49:52.960
yards and a 7 .1 average and eight touchdowns.

01:49:55.500 --> 01:50:03.319
Nice. 2018. Mahomes had 16 attempts, 272 rush

01:50:03.319 --> 01:50:09.399
yards, and four rushing touchdowns. So Allen's

01:50:09.399 --> 01:50:11.819
a better runner, but not that much better. And

01:50:11.819 --> 01:50:13.720
Allen, I think, is going to get more touchdowns

01:50:13.720 --> 01:50:15.579
because they have him do the quarterback sneak

01:50:15.579 --> 01:50:18.600
for touchdowns, and they don't do that with Mahomes.

01:50:19.300 --> 01:50:22.579
So there will be disparity there. Yeah, so Allen

01:50:22.579 --> 01:50:27.779
has a couple of 700 -yard seasons. Mahomes' highest

01:50:27.779 --> 01:50:31.460
one is 422. But he definitely made that up in

01:50:31.460 --> 01:50:33.779
passes. And I don't have to read all of the rushing

01:50:33.779 --> 01:50:36.640
stats because that's really not what we're talking

01:50:36.640 --> 01:50:40.380
about here. And it's worth noting that one of

01:50:40.380 --> 01:50:42.739
Josh Allen's rushing attempts in that previous

01:50:42.739 --> 01:50:46.380
game is what buggered his knee up. Yes. Yep.

01:50:46.420 --> 01:50:49.420
Which is why they don't have Mahomes down. Exactly.

01:50:49.819 --> 01:50:54.600
Yeah. So, you tell me. Who was definitively,

01:50:54.699 --> 01:50:59.159
besides the rings, besides the appearances, Who

01:50:59.159 --> 01:51:02.640
is definitively the better quarterback, hands

01:51:02.640 --> 01:51:05.260
down? I don't care how you look on the field.

01:51:05.420 --> 01:51:08.100
I don't care how you throw a tight spiral. I

01:51:08.100 --> 01:51:10.979
don't care how you run around and scramble and

01:51:10.979 --> 01:51:14.800
extend plays. It's obvious Mahomes is actually

01:51:14.800 --> 01:51:19.020
quite a bet above Allen. Yeah. A lot more. I

01:51:19.020 --> 01:51:21.800
mean, they can't even compare it. He's so far

01:51:21.800 --> 01:51:25.979
ahead of them. Yeah. But I think. There's such

01:51:25.979 --> 01:51:30.500
a desire to have somebody for Mahomes to be competing

01:51:30.500 --> 01:51:33.439
against and to be his rival. They're making one

01:51:33.439 --> 01:51:37.800
up. They're fudging figures. They're lying about

01:51:37.800 --> 01:51:39.640
figures. They're ignoring other figures just

01:51:39.640 --> 01:51:43.020
to make sure that there's this pseudo -competitive

01:51:43.020 --> 01:51:45.659
rivalry. Now, Mahomes and Allen probably don't

01:51:45.659 --> 01:51:47.859
give a damn about it. They're like, fine, do

01:51:47.859 --> 01:51:49.560
whatever you want. I bet they call each other

01:51:49.560 --> 01:51:51.199
up and go, hey, did you see what so -and -so

01:51:51.199 --> 01:51:54.130
did? Oh, yeah, yeah, that's good. But it's performance

01:51:54.130 --> 01:51:58.050
theater for us, the fans. The players themselves

01:51:58.050 --> 01:52:00.210
don't care. It doesn't mean anything to them,

01:52:00.250 --> 01:52:01.989
and they know it's not real. It doesn't have

01:52:01.989 --> 01:52:05.189
any meaning. But it's just something to be fun

01:52:05.189 --> 01:52:08.210
and distracting, and this will make Buffalo Bills

01:52:08.210 --> 01:52:10.670
fans happy, and this will make Chiefs fans angry.

01:52:10.909 --> 01:52:12.949
I wish they'd be intellectually honest at least,

01:52:12.989 --> 01:52:16.750
but they won't. No, it's all about manipulation

01:52:16.750 --> 01:52:23.630
and crowd control. So they're politics too. Okay,

01:52:23.630 --> 01:52:28.390
so Allen and Mahomes are really good friends.

01:52:29.770 --> 01:52:32.430
So if anyone's thinking there's like a rivalry

01:52:32.430 --> 01:52:35.409
there, yeah, it's friendly though. I mean, yeah,

01:52:35.470 --> 01:52:38.409
it's a rivalry to go, ha, ha, I won. But as far

01:52:38.409 --> 01:52:40.050
as that, they really like each other. They get

01:52:40.050 --> 01:52:43.090
along and they're good friends. So this isn't

01:52:43.090 --> 01:52:45.090
them two perpetrating this is what I'm getting

01:52:45.090 --> 01:52:50.350
at. This is the media wanting a storyline so

01:52:50.350 --> 01:52:53.779
bad. So if they could get something between Purdy

01:52:53.779 --> 01:53:01.119
and Hertz, or Purdy and Stafford, or Goff and

01:53:01.119 --> 01:53:03.220
Stafford, but Goff doesn't have a personality,

01:53:03.479 --> 01:53:05.060
so they couldn't get anything out of him. True,

01:53:05.060 --> 01:53:08.699
true. And Stafford's just like an overall nice

01:53:08.699 --> 01:53:10.800
guy. He's not going to be doing anything like

01:53:10.800 --> 01:53:14.439
that. And Darnold is pretty bland. Yeah, Darnold

01:53:14.439 --> 01:53:18.239
is like salt. Yeah. Yeah, out of the spices.

01:53:18.970 --> 01:53:22.130
He would be like baking soda. Yeah. Yeah. Well.

01:53:25.270 --> 01:53:29.029
But he's looking good this year. Yeah. He looked

01:53:29.029 --> 01:53:30.989
good last year until the playoffs. Playoffs.

01:53:31.550 --> 01:53:34.310
So we will see. All right. That's all I got,

01:53:34.409 --> 01:53:37.329
I believe. Yeah. I think I'm pretty well tapped

01:53:37.329 --> 01:53:39.609
out. I got a little thing about Jimmy Harbaugh.

01:53:39.729 --> 01:53:41.250
If you want me to do that or you want to go ahead

01:53:41.250 --> 01:53:44.729
and go. Okay. Okay. Round us off to about two

01:53:44.729 --> 01:53:47.609
hours here. All right. Cool. Jimmy Harbaugh.

01:53:48.010 --> 01:53:53.909
Is Justin Herbert still the guy? Maybe not. Would

01:53:53.909 --> 01:53:56.890
you, firstly, if you were Jimmy Harbaugh, would

01:53:56.890 --> 01:54:00.289
you move on from him? Yeah. I would too. Herbert

01:54:00.289 --> 01:54:03.130
has never had a decent game or a game -winning

01:54:03.130 --> 01:54:07.949
drive in the playoffs or a crucial game. I never

01:54:07.949 --> 01:54:10.569
remember any game where he came to bat and said,

01:54:10.630 --> 01:54:14.170
I'm going to win. No, I don't. Not a single one

01:54:14.170 --> 01:54:16.550
where it's like, the Chargers, led by Justin

01:54:16.550 --> 01:54:18.850
Herbert, came roaring back to win in the last...

01:54:18.850 --> 01:54:21.710
No, he doesn't put them on his back. He doesn't

01:54:21.710 --> 01:54:24.909
do a Mahomes or even an Allen or even a Hurts

01:54:24.909 --> 01:54:28.810
last year or a Jaden Daniels last year. He doesn't

01:54:28.810 --> 01:54:30.430
go, hey, everybody get on my back. Watch this.

01:54:31.229 --> 01:54:35.409
Wow. Yeah. I mean, Caleb Williams has more tenure

01:54:35.409 --> 01:54:38.619
on game -winning drives than he does. It really

01:54:38.619 --> 01:54:40.960
kind of goes. Trevor Lawrence has him. That's

01:54:40.960 --> 01:54:43.979
true. Yeah. It kind of shows how we were sold

01:54:43.979 --> 01:54:47.159
an image of Justin Herbert and who he's supposed

01:54:47.159 --> 01:54:49.159
to be, but he just hasn't measured up. Well,

01:54:49.220 --> 01:54:51.840
this is right before Allen got prominent. So

01:54:51.840 --> 01:54:55.039
they had to have somebody going, this guy's the

01:54:55.039 --> 01:54:57.180
next Mahomes. Yeah. I remember hearing that.

01:54:57.399 --> 01:55:00.000
And for a team, it's to their advantage to tell

01:55:00.000 --> 01:55:02.479
the fan base, hey, we're the quarterback we got.

01:55:02.520 --> 01:55:06.000
He's the next whoever. And if you can make them

01:55:06.000 --> 01:55:07.520
believe it and make them buy more tickets, great.

01:55:07.520 --> 01:55:08.880
Well, that's what it is. They're trying to make

01:55:08.880 --> 01:55:12.840
the general public believe that Justin Herbert

01:55:12.840 --> 01:55:17.600
is in the same class as Mahomes or Allen or whoever

01:55:17.600 --> 01:55:21.100
else you want to go with that. And they hadn't

01:55:21.100 --> 01:55:23.899
been in Los Angeles all that long. They were

01:55:23.899 --> 01:55:26.140
in San Diego for the longest time before that.

01:55:26.199 --> 01:55:29.180
So it was another reason to their advantage to

01:55:29.180 --> 01:55:32.199
try to... play up Justin Herbert as the next

01:55:32.199 --> 01:55:34.359
greatest thing. And then whether he was or not,

01:55:34.460 --> 01:55:36.579
it's like, eh, we'll deal with that later. I've

01:55:36.579 --> 01:55:39.699
got even more. Okay. Were the Chargers exposed?

01:55:40.319 --> 01:55:44.220
Yes. Okay. Their best game of the season was

01:55:44.220 --> 01:55:46.500
that first game in Brazil against the Chiefs

01:55:46.500 --> 01:55:49.439
where they looked amazing. But that was, I think,

01:55:49.479 --> 01:55:51.720
everything they had for the whole season. That

01:55:51.720 --> 01:55:54.220
was everything. I agree. They used up all of

01:55:54.220 --> 01:55:57.720
their good mojo that game. Yep. Hope it was worth

01:55:57.720 --> 01:56:01.020
it. Yeah, check this out. Herbert was not sacked

01:56:01.020 --> 01:56:05.720
once in the playoff game. Not once. He was 19

01:56:05.720 --> 01:56:11.800
for 31, 159 yards, no touchdowns, no interceptions.

01:56:11.859 --> 01:56:14.380
But without a single sack, he did that poorly.

01:56:14.659 --> 01:56:19.020
Yes, without a single sack. Wow. He was pressured,

01:56:19.039 --> 01:56:22.460
but not as bad as one would think. Not like that.

01:56:22.500 --> 01:56:25.460
I'm sure he got knocked down a few times. But,

01:56:25.500 --> 01:56:28.140
yeah, that just seems like they really got to

01:56:28.140 --> 01:56:31.619
him. They were inside his head. Yeah. And, yeah.

01:56:31.619 --> 01:56:35.739
You have no sacks to speak of at all, none. Man,

01:56:35.899 --> 01:56:38.000
so many quarterbacks would love to have a game

01:56:38.000 --> 01:56:40.140
where they never got planted on their ass. Oh,

01:56:40.159 --> 01:56:42.260
you imagine Mahomes? He'd have had fucking 500

01:56:42.260 --> 01:56:44.359
yards if he never got planted on his ass. So

01:56:44.359 --> 01:56:48.659
159 yards is all he has. That's sad. The leading

01:56:48.659 --> 01:56:53.090
charger receiver was McConkley. Actually, it's

01:56:53.090 --> 01:56:57.289
McConkie. McConkie, yeah. For 32 yards. Is he

01:56:57.289 --> 01:56:59.850
related to Phil McConkie, who used to be a giant?

01:57:00.090 --> 01:57:02.149
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's his son or

01:57:02.149 --> 01:57:04.069
grandson or nephew. Yeah, yeah, Phil McConkie.

01:57:04.350 --> 01:57:06.989
Yeah, yeah, that's him. Third great stepson twice

01:57:06.989 --> 01:57:10.529
removed. Yeah, yeah, yes, yeah, yeah. And he's

01:57:10.529 --> 01:57:13.050
also related to the smart -ass saying, Phil,

01:57:13.109 --> 01:57:16.010
you know, fill your anus? This is Phil McConkie.

01:57:16.329 --> 01:57:20.340
Ah, all right, okay. Drake May was sacked five

01:57:20.340 --> 01:57:23.779
times, but still threw for 268 yards with one

01:57:23.779 --> 01:57:28.060
touchdown and one interception. May, who had

01:57:28.060 --> 01:57:31.479
five sacks, had 66 yards rushing to Herbert's

01:57:31.479 --> 01:57:37.659
57 with no sacks. Wow. Yeah. And just see, as

01:57:37.659 --> 01:57:39.739
I recall, Justin Herbert was drafted a lot higher

01:57:39.739 --> 01:57:44.140
than Drake May was. Yes. Wow. Yep. Yeah. Man,

01:57:44.199 --> 01:57:47.100
it's just so hard to hit on a quarterback. Oh,

01:57:47.100 --> 01:57:49.850
it is. For last year, will you have touched Drake

01:57:49.850 --> 01:57:54.130
May with a fucking pole? No. No. No. And I thought

01:57:54.130 --> 01:57:56.609
Trevor Lawrence was all washed up. I did too.

01:57:57.649 --> 01:58:01.430
Trevor Lawrence is not washed up, but I don't

01:58:01.430 --> 01:58:04.710
think he's championship material. I need to see

01:58:04.710 --> 01:58:07.189
more consistency out of him before I can think

01:58:07.189 --> 01:58:09.289
of teams. He's going to lead a team to the promised

01:58:09.289 --> 01:58:10.930
land. I don't even know if he won a playoff game

01:58:10.930 --> 01:58:16.210
either. Playoff. Good question. But in the big

01:58:16.210 --> 01:58:19.439
games. He can handle a lot of them, but on the

01:58:19.439 --> 01:58:22.760
national stage with playoffs, I don't know if

01:58:22.760 --> 01:58:25.380
he can handle it. Yeah. Because so far, I think

01:58:25.380 --> 01:58:29.779
he's a zero on playoff games. Playoffs. Yeah.

01:58:30.300 --> 01:58:34.319
The franchise has won playoff games because they

01:58:34.319 --> 01:58:37.140
went to the AFC Championship one year. Mark Vernell

01:58:37.140 --> 01:58:42.119
and Tom Coughlin is McCaukey's stepdad. Yeah.

01:58:42.119 --> 01:58:44.039
Yeah, yeah. They just changed the name a little

01:58:44.039 --> 01:58:46.829
bit. There's a clerical error. They misspelled

01:58:46.829 --> 01:58:50.029
it. And great cousins of Phil, my cocky. Yeah.

01:58:50.090 --> 01:58:55.250
Yeah. All right. Okay. That's all I got. All

01:58:55.250 --> 01:58:56.750
right. All right. We're going to end this piece

01:58:56.750 --> 01:58:59.409
of crap. Okay. So anyhow, hey, guys, we hit our

01:58:59.409 --> 01:59:01.590
millionth download the other day. Yeah, that's

01:59:01.590 --> 01:59:03.449
exciting. We're going to post some proof here

01:59:03.449 --> 01:59:05.609
soon. I'm trying to figure out a way to capture

01:59:05.609 --> 01:59:07.949
it from the entity that gave this to us on our

01:59:07.949 --> 01:59:11.109
ward. So once I can capture it, I will be posting

01:59:11.109 --> 01:59:13.649
it on the Douchebag page and our personal pages,

01:59:13.770 --> 01:59:16.130
too. We'll have to get mugs and T -shirts and

01:59:16.130 --> 01:59:18.409
hats made. Yeah, a million downloads. There you

01:59:18.409 --> 01:59:21.350
go, bitches. It only took us four years. It only

01:59:21.350 --> 01:59:24.890
took us four years. But we're rolling now. Yes.

01:59:25.510 --> 01:59:28.270
So that being said, thank you guys for spreading

01:59:28.270 --> 01:59:30.250
the word. It's really, really working, obviously,

01:59:30.310 --> 01:59:33.310
to have a million downloads. No advertisers or

01:59:33.310 --> 01:59:35.029
anything. Thank you so much, and go fuck yourself.
