WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.620 The Sports Bastards. The Sports Bastards. The 00:00:03.620 --> 00:00:07.540 Sports Bastards. The Sports Bastards. The Sports 00:00:07.540 --> 00:00:19.620 Bastards. The Sports Bastards. Oh yeah, yeah, 00:00:19.660 --> 00:00:23.579 yeah. We were talking about mic sounds just before 00:00:23.579 --> 00:00:26.600 we got on here. And this is the Sports Bastards. 00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:28.879 a division of two douchebags and a microphone, 00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:32.340 and the music creeps. Yes. I'm Mark. I'm Topher. 00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:35.840 Well, we're talking about how these microphones 00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:38.439 are weird, how they pick up sounds and things, 00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:41.600 and it worked at home at the Talk is Cheap studio. 00:00:42.020 --> 00:00:45.759 I prefer to have the... Oh, there we go. Thank 00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:48.320 you. There's the good stuff. Oh, right on. Hey, 00:00:48.380 --> 00:00:49.780 you got anything you want to talk about or anything? 00:00:51.160 --> 00:00:52.780 No, I told you about the specials last week. 00:00:52.780 --> 00:00:54.479 We start here next week for Valentine's Day. 00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:56.759 Oh, good. Come down and see City Market because 00:00:56.759 --> 00:00:58.399 it's their slow season, so there's not going 00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:00.539 to be in line for you. Help these wonderful people 00:01:00.539 --> 00:01:02.299 here come down and do a little business with 00:01:02.299 --> 00:01:05.819 them. And also, it's great stuff. And some of 00:01:05.819 --> 00:01:07.900 these days, the parking is free. I mean, people 00:01:07.900 --> 00:01:09.319 have been complaining about, well, I go down 00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:11.280 there, the parking's expensive. Not every day. 00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:13.560 Not every day. Not every day. Appreciate you 00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:17.359 guys. Thank you. Thank you. So yeah, head on 00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:20.040 down here and enjoy the city market. Yeah, the 00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:23.340 city market is such a neat area. It's funny, 00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:27.859 we say city market, but it looks like on Google 00:01:27.859 --> 00:01:30.700 Maps they call it river market instead. Technically, 00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:32.480 that's the name. Yeah, I've always called it. 00:01:32.540 --> 00:01:35.420 I've lived here since 1967, and I've always called 00:01:35.420 --> 00:01:37.719 it river city market, so it's no big deal. Yeah, 00:01:37.780 --> 00:01:42.379 go ahead. Oh, thank you. Of course, fried pickles. 00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:44.569 I'm going to grab a pickle. All right. You don't 00:01:44.569 --> 00:01:47.030 use a ranch, do you? No, no thanks. Okay, that's 00:01:47.030 --> 00:01:50.549 what I thought. Got the dairy intolerance. That's 00:01:50.549 --> 00:01:52.689 what I thought. I'm going to get icky sick. No. 00:01:54.670 --> 00:01:59.650 So, I always have the microphone right to the 00:01:59.650 --> 00:02:01.689 side of my face. It sounds better. Then you can 00:02:01.689 --> 00:02:03.849 pop your peas a little bit more. Yeah, yeah. 00:02:03.890 --> 00:02:06.969 Okay. Well, I have this problem with turning 00:02:06.969 --> 00:02:09.330 around to get something and hitting the microphone 00:02:09.330 --> 00:02:12.530 with my nose. Yeah. Yeah. I've got to figure 00:02:12.530 --> 00:02:17.750 that shit out. Maybe suspend it over? That's 00:02:17.750 --> 00:02:19.270 what I'm thinking. Something like that. Yeah. 00:02:20.370 --> 00:02:25.849 Maybe that'll work. Talk past it. Well, we did 00:02:25.849 --> 00:02:31.770 okay with our picks last week. Okay. We both 00:02:31.770 --> 00:02:34.250 picked the Broncos over the Bills. And that was 00:02:34.250 --> 00:02:36.960 an interesting game. I could see how they were 00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:40.039 letting the Bills back into it there at the end. 00:02:40.099 --> 00:02:43.639 It's like the typical script where one team does 00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:45.659 great and then suddenly they forget how to play 00:02:45.659 --> 00:02:47.740 and the other team comes storming back. Phantom 00:02:47.740 --> 00:02:53.400 non -calls and phantom calls. Now, the big play 00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:59.620 in overtime. The interception or wasn't. The 00:02:59.620 --> 00:03:03.379 rules read just like they said. The problem I 00:03:03.379 --> 00:03:06.590 have is... The referee's refusal to let it go 00:03:06.590 --> 00:03:10.090 to New York. Yeah. That's the problem I had. 00:03:10.210 --> 00:03:15.250 Yeah. It should have. Yeah, it really makes it 00:03:15.250 --> 00:03:18.090 look like they knew in advance what they wanted 00:03:18.090 --> 00:03:19.530 it to be and they weren't going to let anyone 00:03:19.530 --> 00:03:21.810 talk them out of it. Yeah, and I agree with that. 00:03:22.189 --> 00:03:28.430 Yeah. I mean, and we're not talking about full 00:03:28.430 --> 00:03:30.939 -fledged grip riding. What we're talking about 00:03:30.939 --> 00:03:33.219 is pushing the game in the way you want it to 00:03:33.219 --> 00:03:36.340 go. Yep, yep, yep, yep. Which is easy to control 00:03:36.340 --> 00:03:40.199 with key penalties or non -penalties. So let's 00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:45.460 say that the Broncos knew. Yeah. Or the Bills 00:03:45.460 --> 00:03:48.039 knew that they were actually kind of being propped 00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:49.879 up because they want a better game. Yeah. They 00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:52.400 want to go down to the fourth quarter. They're 00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:55.439 going to be more rambunctious in their pass interferences 00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:58.180 and the way they play because they're figuring 00:03:58.180 --> 00:04:01.389 unless it's just, egregious, it's not going to 00:04:01.389 --> 00:04:05.330 get called. Yeah. I do think it's kind of entertaining 00:04:05.330 --> 00:04:09.530 that the NFL looks like they were really trying 00:04:09.530 --> 00:04:13.810 to get the Broncos into the championship game, 00:04:13.930 --> 00:04:16.569 except now the quarterback's out. I know. And 00:04:16.569 --> 00:04:21.009 the last thing the NFL wants is that AFC championship 00:04:21.009 --> 00:04:24.189 game with a backup QB in it. So it really bit 00:04:24.189 --> 00:04:27.029 them in the ass here. I bet they're wishing they'd 00:04:27.029 --> 00:04:29.639 let the Bills win. Yeah, I bet you they are too 00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:31.600 because Josh Allen would be playing finally. 00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:34.720 Yeah. Well, not in the Super Bowl. No, at least 00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:39.180 he'd be one step closer. Well, okay, another 00:04:39.180 --> 00:04:43.540 thing is this right here. The game right there 00:04:43.540 --> 00:04:45.600 was obviously influenced, but every other game 00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:58.040 was too. Yeah. But I go back to this. Good teams 00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:03.439 will win. Yeah. Doesn't matter. Yep. So if you've 00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:05.100 got a good enough team, you'll overcome it. If 00:05:05.100 --> 00:05:08.199 not, you won't. But the fact that the games appear 00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:10.579 to be tampered with is disturbing to me, especially 00:05:10.579 --> 00:05:14.480 if you're a betting person. And it seems like 00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:18.980 every week the protests are getting louder that 00:05:18.980 --> 00:05:24.639 this isn't right. This is coercion. This is manipulation. 00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:30.410 This is... I look at it as you've got a herd 00:05:30.410 --> 00:05:32.850 of sheep out there in the field, and you send 00:05:32.850 --> 00:05:36.110 your border collie out. He doesn't grab the sheep 00:05:36.110 --> 00:05:38.990 physically and drag them off to the pen. He just 00:05:38.990 --> 00:05:41.709 manipulates them. He just influences where they 00:05:41.709 --> 00:05:44.769 go. And eventually they all wind up exactly where 00:05:44.769 --> 00:05:46.709 they're supposed to be, but the dog has never 00:05:46.709 --> 00:05:49.009 had to physically grab one and carry him there. 00:05:49.850 --> 00:05:51.990 That's how the NFLs are influencing the games. 00:05:52.370 --> 00:05:56.399 They keep moving and pushing and... nudging here 00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:58.100 and there, and eventually it just flows exactly 00:05:58.100 --> 00:06:01.060 where they want it to flow. Because it just gets 00:06:01.060 --> 00:06:04.000 too difficult for anything else to happen. And 00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:07.839 it's, I mean, the sheep never realize, oh, he's 00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:10.379 pushing us towards this pen. They just say, oh, 00:06:10.500 --> 00:06:12.899 I can't go there because the dog's over there. 00:06:13.420 --> 00:06:16.019 And they're in the pen before they know it. Same 00:06:16.019 --> 00:06:18.240 thing with the NFL games. The game is over and 00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:21.199 the right team has won before we realize what's 00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:23.339 been going on. And then we look at it after the 00:06:23.339 --> 00:06:26.139 fact and it's like, wait a minute. This is just 00:06:26.139 --> 00:06:28.879 like the game in week 13 where they did exactly 00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:32.459 the same thing. People are starting to catch 00:06:32.459 --> 00:06:37.079 on. Oh, I think so, too. Okay, so one of the 00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:38.699 things I'd like to point out, though, is this 00:06:38.699 --> 00:06:43.240 right here. The Bills and their fans are the 00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:45.680 whiniest bunch of fucking people I've ever heard 00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:50.019 in my life. No, I'm kidding. My God. I mean... 00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:52.839 For someone that's been propped up, and I'm going 00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:54.839 to go into this a little bit later, and I did 00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:58.879 on the last podcast, the one with Rob, it's not 00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:02.120 Josh Allen's fault. The media is the one that's 00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:04.720 propped him up and made him the heir apparent. 00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:07.740 Oh, he's better than Mahomes, when actually the 00:07:07.740 --> 00:07:10.660 statistics do not, including three Super Bowl 00:07:10.660 --> 00:07:15.259 rings, including losing to Mahomes. Four or five 00:07:15.259 --> 00:07:18.139 times. He's like the guy who gets drafted number 00:07:18.139 --> 00:07:20.639 one overall. It's not his fault. He didn't choose 00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:22.639 that. It was chosen for him, but now suddenly 00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:25.220 he's got to live up. Yeah. Josh Allen's the same 00:07:25.220 --> 00:07:28.100 way. Like you said, he was chosen to be the next 00:07:28.100 --> 00:07:32.439 face of the NFL for the people who are tired 00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:35.560 of Patrick Holmes, and he couldn't measure up. 00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:37.699 It's not his fault. He's a great quarterback. 00:07:37.819 --> 00:07:41.560 He's an amazing physical talent. He's a smart 00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:46.339 man. He's not able to quite play the role that 00:07:46.339 --> 00:07:52.199 they've written for him. Not his fault. No. So 00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:55.379 I hear all this Josh Allen hatred stuff. He's 00:07:55.379 --> 00:07:59.060 a good guy. He is. Until proven otherwise. Until 00:07:59.060 --> 00:08:01.180 proven otherwise, yeah. Unless he turns out to 00:08:01.180 --> 00:08:05.439 be a Timothy Busfield, allegedly. Yeah. I would 00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:10.879 hope not. But I can see the frustration in Bill's 00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:14.000 fan. To think, how long has Josh Allen been here? 00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:15.860 Has it been the whole nine years that McDermott's 00:08:15.860 --> 00:08:18.100 there? Yes, the whole nine years, yep. So nine 00:08:18.100 --> 00:08:20.360 years out of his career, and he's never even 00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:24.519 sniffed a Super Bowl, let alone won one. Yeah. 00:08:24.620 --> 00:08:27.500 And I understand the frustration of thinking, 00:08:27.620 --> 00:08:30.000 those are nine years you just can never get back. 00:08:30.339 --> 00:08:33.039 You're never going to get those opportunities 00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:40.379 back. Put it in a crude way. I remember I read 00:08:40.379 --> 00:08:43.840 in a book a guy was talking to a young man who 00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:46.879 was just getting his first girlfriend. And he 00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:50.620 was telling him, now listen, try to get sex every 00:08:50.620 --> 00:08:53.580 night. Because any night you don't have sex, 00:08:53.779 --> 00:08:56.980 you never get that back. You never have that 00:08:56.980 --> 00:08:59.340 opportunity again. Even if you have sex twice 00:08:59.340 --> 00:09:01.720 the next day, you still missed one. Yeah, you 00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:03.480 missed one, yep. And I think people have that 00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:08.340 attitude with a lot of things. NFL included is 00:09:08.340 --> 00:09:10.480 like, Josh Allen. We've missed nine opportunities. 00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:12.960 You're never getting any of them back. Josh Allen 00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:16.679 is going on 30. Yep. So if not now, when? Yep. 00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:19.779 This was supposed to be the year because everybody 00:09:19.779 --> 00:09:22.860 that had been in his way previously was out of 00:09:22.860 --> 00:09:26.179 his way. Yeah. Specifically Mahomes, but also 00:09:26.179 --> 00:09:31.320 Burrow, also Jackson. I mean, the path was clear. 00:09:31.820 --> 00:09:33.679 And you've got to start wondering, what more 00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:37.090 can they do to set you up? and make it a perfect 00:09:37.090 --> 00:09:39.710 situation, and then you just don't capitalize. 00:09:39.850 --> 00:09:42.409 And that's why Josh Allen was so emotional about 00:09:42.409 --> 00:09:45.669 it, is he knew the perfect opportunity was blown. 00:09:45.909 --> 00:09:49.350 It's done. It's over. And then, on top of it 00:09:49.350 --> 00:09:51.710 all, his coach that he loves, and everybody loved, 00:09:51.889 --> 00:09:58.649 inspired. And I'm not really sure. I suppose 00:09:58.649 --> 00:10:01.159 it probably did need to happen. They needed something 00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:03.440 different because nine years in a row not doing 00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:07.519 it with talent like they had would indicate there's 00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:09.320 some sort of an issue in there, whether it's 00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:13.759 play calling or the almosters, the guys that 00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:17.940 can almost be the superstar. I think this is 00:10:17.940 --> 00:10:23.419 signaling a shift in the NFL. It used to be that 00:10:23.419 --> 00:10:25.120 people would make fun of the Raiders for firing 00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:28.629 their coach so often. But I think the rest of 00:10:28.629 --> 00:10:31.990 the NFL is starting to think the Raiders had 00:10:31.990 --> 00:10:34.470 it right. Why waste two or three or four more 00:10:34.470 --> 00:10:37.889 years? Let's make the change now and maybe get 00:10:37.889 --> 00:10:39.529 this turned around next year. Well, like Pete 00:10:39.529 --> 00:10:42.169 Carroll, that had to happen. He never had the 00:10:42.169 --> 00:10:44.269 team. He didn't lose the team. He never had the 00:10:44.269 --> 00:10:46.610 team. No one believed in him. And I think we're 00:10:46.610 --> 00:10:48.590 going to see, I think we're seeing the last of 00:10:48.590 --> 00:10:52.080 the old grandpa. age head coaches. I think so. 00:10:52.139 --> 00:10:54.720 I think that's a thing of the past. They just 00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:57.259 don't relate. They can't figure it out. The only 00:10:57.259 --> 00:10:59.500 reason I'm not raising hell about Sean McDermott 00:10:59.500 --> 00:11:01.820 not being hired by Kansas City is I'm relatively 00:11:01.820 --> 00:11:04.600 sure he's looking for a head coaching job and 00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:07.279 not an offensive coordinator. But man, would 00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:09.600 I love to see what that guy did. I would love 00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:11.960 to see it applied towards Mahomes. That would 00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:14.080 be funny as hell to watch Bill's fan have to 00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:16.320 deal with Sean McDermott being our offensive 00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:19.399 coordinator. Yeah. And then he could have the 00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:22.000 last laugh, too. He'd be like, look, I'm at the 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:25.740 Super Bowl. You guys are not. I guess I wasn't 00:11:25.740 --> 00:11:32.000 the problem, was I? Do you think Sean McDermott 00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:35.200 has known for at least several weeks that if 00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:39.220 he lost, he was fired? You brought this up, and 00:11:39.220 --> 00:11:42.139 I want to explain exactly what I think it was. 00:11:43.620 --> 00:11:48.259 The Bills, as in their front office. They already 00:11:48.259 --> 00:11:51.960 had a plan. When all this unfolded, and they're 00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:55.500 like, oh, look at this. We have the Patriots 00:11:55.500 --> 00:11:57.360 and Broncos pretty much in our way. Maybe the 00:11:57.360 --> 00:12:01.559 Texans. Probably not the Steelers. Probably nobody 00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:03.200 else you're going to be able to beat them like 00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:06.480 a fucking drum. Okay. These are the two real 00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:09.320 main ones, and they're new. They've never been 00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:13.299 in this position before. You have. You would 00:12:13.299 --> 00:12:15.419 have been to a Super Bowl if it wasn't for going 00:12:15.419 --> 00:12:19.500 against Mahomes. Yeah. So, I think if they knew 00:12:19.500 --> 00:12:21.440 it, they may not have expressed this to him, 00:12:21.460 --> 00:12:25.700 but they got together and said, here is what's 00:12:25.700 --> 00:12:27.600 going to have to happen. Anything short of that, 00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:30.779 you're gone. And I think that McDermott may not 00:12:30.779 --> 00:12:33.059 have been told that, but he knew that. Yeah. 00:12:33.940 --> 00:12:36.460 And I think Josh Allen knew that, too. I believe 00:12:36.460 --> 00:12:38.500 so. And it didn't help that they were, what, 00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:40.940 number seven seed? Yes. They were at the very 00:12:40.940 --> 00:12:44.399 last seed. When they had all that opportunity, 00:12:44.700 --> 00:12:47.029 that had to hurt. And it had to have fucking 00:12:47.029 --> 00:12:51.470 stung. The 13th second was probably the most 00:12:51.470 --> 00:12:58.929 stinging loss ever for him. But everything was 00:12:58.929 --> 00:13:02.370 set up. And the thing is, you can't help but 00:13:02.370 --> 00:13:04.570 imagine. Because I already did. I was like, man, 00:13:04.629 --> 00:13:06.470 he should be able to just run through it all. 00:13:06.610 --> 00:13:09.210 And everything should be fine. And he's finally 00:13:09.210 --> 00:13:11.549 going to get his trophy. And everyone's going 00:13:11.549 --> 00:13:15.980 to love him. And, you know, everybody else did 00:13:15.980 --> 00:13:17.440 that, too. They ran with it. They're like, okay, 00:13:17.500 --> 00:13:19.059 this guy's been there forever, and none of the 00:13:19.059 --> 00:13:21.179 usual suspects are in his way. He should be able 00:13:21.179 --> 00:13:23.519 to run through it. Yeah. But everything else 00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:27.279 happened besides that, including Josh Allen. 00:13:27.379 --> 00:13:29.700 I mean, if you talked to him yourself, I'm pretty 00:13:29.700 --> 00:13:32.399 sure he'd say the same thing is, I did not make 00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:35.440 the plays when I needed to. Yeah, you can argue 00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:38.990 that one play about whether it was a catch. or 00:13:38.990 --> 00:13:41.730 an interception all night long. It doesn't matter. 00:13:41.929 --> 00:13:44.649 Yeah. But the problem is this right here, is 00:13:44.649 --> 00:13:47.570 the game should have been won way before that. 00:13:47.830 --> 00:13:50.730 Yes, yes. It should have been won over – in the 00:13:50.730 --> 00:13:52.549 third quarter it should have been over. They 00:13:52.549 --> 00:13:54.129 could have capped that. They could have stopped 00:13:54.129 --> 00:13:56.110 it. They could have ran it out and been done. 00:13:56.610 --> 00:13:59.250 Yeah. Don't let yourself get into that situation. 00:13:59.830 --> 00:14:04.789 No. I know Josh Allen was beat up and injured 00:14:04.789 --> 00:14:08.960 for – in quite a few ways there towards the end. 00:14:09.179 --> 00:14:12.899 So was Mahomes in the Super Bowl. And it's Josh 00:14:12.899 --> 00:14:15.820 Allen's decision to take off and run with the 00:14:15.820 --> 00:14:19.019 ball, not slide, and take all those hits. I mean, 00:14:19.019 --> 00:14:20.720 some of them were hits when he was dropping back 00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:23.279 to pass. But still, he took off running with 00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:25.980 the ball and went head first. And every time 00:14:25.980 --> 00:14:27.799 he would take a beating on that, I don't feel 00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:29.460 very sorry for him. No, I don't either because 00:14:29.460 --> 00:14:31.419 he has a choice. Yeah, it's totally unnecessary. 00:14:31.659 --> 00:14:34.220 He's doing it because it's good for him. It's 00:14:34.220 --> 00:14:37.070 flashy for him. It pads his stats. Great on a 00:14:37.070 --> 00:14:40.029 highlight reel. Beautiful on a highlight reel. 00:14:40.210 --> 00:14:44.330 So if he chooses to take that chance to hold 00:14:44.330 --> 00:14:47.570 himself up as an awesome guy who can do it on 00:14:47.570 --> 00:14:49.929 his own, all right, well, the consequences are 00:14:49.929 --> 00:14:51.629 you're going to get the snot beat out of you 00:14:51.629 --> 00:14:53.909 once in a while, and you're not going to be able 00:14:53.909 --> 00:14:57.029 to perform well. There you go. You had the choice 00:14:57.029 --> 00:15:00.129 of to not call your own number on that run. The 00:15:00.129 --> 00:15:02.860 only time Mahomes does it anymore... He usually 00:15:02.860 --> 00:15:05.080 slides now or runs out of bounds. The only times 00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:08.000 Mahomes does it anymore is when it's a critical 00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:10.179 situation. Otherwise, you don't see him doing 00:15:10.179 --> 00:15:12.600 that. And most of the times he tries to run out 00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:15.259 of bounds, and I know why. A lot of times people 00:15:15.259 --> 00:15:18.440 take a shot at you. And when you do that, nine 00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:20.399 times out of ten, that yellow flag's thrown because 00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:22.659 they don't want that guy, like he is right now, 00:15:22.659 --> 00:15:25.299 injured. They want that guy on the field. And 00:15:25.299 --> 00:15:27.740 also, another thing is, people said, you're not 00:15:27.740 --> 00:15:29.740 going to, you know, finally, one without Mahomes, 00:15:29.799 --> 00:15:32.070 you're not going to miss him. No. They miss him. 00:15:32.090 --> 00:15:34.309 Oh, my God. They need that dynamic playmaker, 00:15:34.409 --> 00:15:36.929 the guy that just sprained his high ankle sprain 00:15:36.929 --> 00:15:39.190 and can hardly walk. Yeah. Coming back on the 00:15:39.190 --> 00:15:41.149 field and going, no, I'm playing, and you're 00:15:41.149 --> 00:15:43.769 not stopping me. Yeah. And Andy Reid just turning 00:15:43.769 --> 00:15:45.889 around going, okay, fuck it. He's going to play. 00:15:46.190 --> 00:15:49.429 All right. Yeah. And then him breaking off a 00:15:49.429 --> 00:15:52.250 20 -yard run while he's hobbling and still doing 00:15:52.250 --> 00:15:54.929 it. Yeah. People need that. Yeah. And without 00:15:54.929 --> 00:15:57.559 that, I'm telling you what, man, this. This one 00:15:57.559 --> 00:16:00.600 has been good, but for all the games that went 00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:02.659 to the fourth quarter, it's been relatively boring 00:16:02.659 --> 00:16:06.320 at parts. Yeah, it really has. You need that 00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:08.340 guy in there. You need that guy at any time. 00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:11.399 He could be three scores down at any time. He 00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:13.720 could just catch fire and destroy you. You need 00:16:13.720 --> 00:16:15.279 that guy. They don't have that guy right now. 00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:17.500 It's gotten to the point where I've been watching 00:16:17.500 --> 00:16:22.100 these playoff games, and I realize nothing in 00:16:22.100 --> 00:16:24.620 the first three quarters matters. Because they're 00:16:24.620 --> 00:16:26.320 going to make sure the fourth quarter is super 00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:28.139 exciting and that's when it comes down to the 00:16:28.139 --> 00:16:33.080 wire. Unless you've got bets to keep track of, 00:16:33.220 --> 00:16:35.379 then the first three quarters make no difference 00:16:35.379 --> 00:16:38.559 whatsoever. They're massaging the games to the 00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:40.159 point where the fourth quarter is everything. 00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:42.860 They don't want you tuning out early. They're 00:16:42.860 --> 00:16:44.799 going to start charging the advertisers more 00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:46.600 for the fourth quarter commercials if they're 00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:48.519 not already. I think they probably already are. 00:16:48.899 --> 00:16:55.419 Another thing is... The draft kings and all of 00:16:55.419 --> 00:16:58.899 those guys, they are going after the new sports 00:16:58.899 --> 00:17:01.120 better because so many states have legalized 00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:03.539 it, including Missouri. Yeah. Okay, so they're 00:17:03.539 --> 00:17:05.039 going after the new guys, and you can see it 00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:08.319 by the commercials. Yeah. They are really, really, 00:17:08.339 --> 00:17:12.319 really kindergarten about how they explain it 00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:14.440 and how they tell you how you can bet and how 00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:17.230 you get this free stuff. Yeah, you better jump 00:17:17.230 --> 00:17:20.089 on it. Everyone else is. The seasoned gambler 00:17:20.089 --> 00:17:21.910 doesn't need the commercial to make it look like 00:17:21.910 --> 00:17:24.769 a fun time and a party atmosphere. They don't 00:17:24.769 --> 00:17:26.990 care about that. That's for the new gambler. 00:17:27.089 --> 00:17:29.150 They want to draw you in and make it seem like 00:17:29.150 --> 00:17:31.269 it's the greatest party in the world and suddenly 00:17:31.269 --> 00:17:33.990 you're a part of it. Yeah. Yeah, okay. They're 00:17:33.990 --> 00:17:36.049 doing a great job of it because obviously people 00:17:36.049 --> 00:17:37.849 are jumping on board. I know a lot of people 00:17:37.849 --> 00:17:40.130 at work, younger guys, that have the app and 00:17:40.130 --> 00:17:44.210 are regularly participating. Yep. And they're 00:17:44.210 --> 00:17:45.750 like, are you going to bet? And I just quietly 00:17:45.750 --> 00:17:50.690 go, no, I'm not going to bet. You're being farmed 00:17:50.690 --> 00:17:52.670 for your money through that gambling app. Yeah. 00:17:52.769 --> 00:17:56.430 Because the phone is looking at your face when 00:17:56.430 --> 00:17:59.109 you're reading the NFL news and placing your 00:17:59.109 --> 00:18:03.109 bets. They know what ways they can push you to 00:18:03.109 --> 00:18:06.470 bet more and lose more. Yeah. Keep your thumb 00:18:06.470 --> 00:18:10.170 over the camera on your phone when you've got 00:18:10.170 --> 00:18:14.630 the screen on. Yes. That selfie camera is there 00:18:14.630 --> 00:18:17.990 to spy on you. It is. Yep. To read your face 00:18:17.990 --> 00:18:19.950 and see what you like and what you don't like. 00:18:20.130 --> 00:18:23.589 They say it isn't, but we know better. Yep. We 00:18:23.589 --> 00:18:28.329 know better. Yep. There's a rerun of the Big 00:18:28.329 --> 00:18:30.490 Bang Theory that was on the other day where they 00:18:30.490 --> 00:18:33.109 were talking about some new device that was... 00:18:33.339 --> 00:18:35.900 being researched at another university where 00:18:35.900 --> 00:18:38.799 this device could read human facial expressions 00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:41.539 and determine what emotions were at play. And 00:18:41.539 --> 00:18:44.539 I thought, yeah, they're doing that for the advertisers. 00:18:44.660 --> 00:18:47.880 In the show, they were like, oh, this will help 00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:51.220 people who can't understand social and emotional 00:18:51.220 --> 00:18:53.319 cues. It will really help them. Well, it's not 00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:57.000 for them. It's for McDonald's and Burger King 00:18:57.000 --> 00:18:59.990 and Ford and all those places. Who want to look 00:18:59.990 --> 00:19:01.769 at your face when they show the advertisement 00:19:01.769 --> 00:19:03.750 and say, ooh, they like this. Ooh, they didn't 00:19:03.750 --> 00:19:05.789 like that. Ooh, they really like that. We'll 00:19:05.789 --> 00:19:09.730 put more of that in. Yes. And when the subliminal 00:19:09.730 --> 00:19:12.069 message of sex comes on, they see the little 00:19:12.069 --> 00:19:14.170 spike in your facial expression, they know they 00:19:14.170 --> 00:19:19.410 got you. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Do you want to 00:19:19.410 --> 00:19:22.849 do some predictions? Oh, we only did one of our 00:19:22.849 --> 00:19:23.950 previous ones. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's right. 00:19:23.950 --> 00:19:26.490 So we can have the Broncos over Bills. We both 00:19:26.490 --> 00:19:29.200 picked 49ers over the Seahawks. And I really 00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:31.220 thought that they were going to make it happen. 00:19:31.339 --> 00:19:36.779 Yeah, I thought so, but no. 40 -6 or 9? It was 00:19:36.779 --> 00:19:40.579 pretty painful. It was a big margin. That was 00:19:40.579 --> 00:19:43.759 really the outlier. I think Brock Purdy's getting 00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:48.579 figured out at a rapid pace. And Christian McCaffrey. 00:19:49.140 --> 00:19:51.900 You're getting old. McCaffrey, McCafferty, whichever 00:19:51.900 --> 00:19:54.740 one. They call him Caffrey. But it looks like 00:19:54.740 --> 00:19:57.759 McCafferty to me, but I don't know. But he really 00:19:57.759 --> 00:19:59.859 didn't seem to be much of a factor in that game. 00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:02.559 No, and the thing is, is he's getting older, 00:20:02.599 --> 00:20:05.480 and they're, I mean, they're just clogging the 00:20:05.480 --> 00:20:08.599 line. Yeah. You know, I mean, just typical really 00:20:08.599 --> 00:20:12.079 good defense. You hit them hard, you disrupt 00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:14.700 their routes, you get in their face, you brutalize 00:20:14.700 --> 00:20:16.720 them, you harass them, and that's what they did, 00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:18.720 and they won. Yeah. And they didn't kind of win. 00:20:18.900 --> 00:20:23.420 Yeah. They really won. Really won. We got the 00:20:23.420 --> 00:20:26.079 pats over the Texans right. Yeah. It looked like 00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:28.900 that was going to be closer, but then C .J. Stroud 00:20:28.900 --> 00:20:32.099 started doing just horrible things. Okay, that 00:20:32.099 --> 00:20:34.619 was something I was going to go into. We'll talk 00:20:34.619 --> 00:20:37.779 about C .J. Stroud after this, okay? And then 00:20:37.779 --> 00:20:40.140 we picked the Rams over the Bears, which worked. 00:20:40.619 --> 00:20:43.779 Yes. Man, that one throw by Caleb Williams where 00:20:43.779 --> 00:20:45.539 he's running backwards, and I really thought 00:20:45.539 --> 00:20:48.380 he was getting fourth and four. Yeah, that was 00:20:48.380 --> 00:20:51.299 amazing. But then he followed it up with an interception 00:20:51.299 --> 00:20:53.200 in overtime that didn't need to be thrown there 00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:56.000 in field goal range. Yep. No, I know. Wasn't 00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:58.559 that something? Yeah, that play was one of the 00:20:58.559 --> 00:21:00.519 all -time great plays, but it didn't win it. 00:21:00.900 --> 00:21:05.240 No, no. It's a shame that that wasn't the difference 00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:07.160 and they could hold it up as, here's the highlight. 00:21:07.380 --> 00:21:09.799 No, it just kind of didn't matter. No, all they 00:21:09.799 --> 00:21:11.539 could do is just show the highlight. They can't 00:21:11.539 --> 00:21:13.599 go, this is a game winner, and everybody going 00:21:13.599 --> 00:21:17.900 crazy. No, no, no. That was for not. That was 00:21:17.900 --> 00:21:21.559 definitely for not. So, okay, we can go to CJ 00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:24.200 Stroud after we do our predictions. Okay. Okay, 00:21:24.259 --> 00:21:31.940 so. Let me get my eyeballs on so I can write 00:21:31.940 --> 00:21:39.740 legibly. Okay. All right, we got Broncos. Well, 00:21:39.819 --> 00:21:42.980 Pat's at Broncos. Well, this was going to be 00:21:42.980 --> 00:21:46.460 a tough one, but now that Stinnett is in it. 00:21:46.460 --> 00:21:51.759 Yeah. Oh, man. I'm going to go ahead and pick 00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:55.259 the Pats. Yeah, I really don't see that there's 00:21:55.259 --> 00:21:59.859 any way. They said it hasn't been since Roger 00:21:59.859 --> 00:22:04.940 Staubach in the 70s where a quarterback has made 00:22:04.940 --> 00:22:06.579 his first start in the conference championship 00:22:06.579 --> 00:22:11.759 game. Wow. Yeah, and I remember back then Staubach 00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:16.799 was Navy, so the Naval Academy had him, and that 00:22:16.799 --> 00:22:19.680 superseded the NFL's claim on him. But eventually 00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:22.839 the Navy was done with him and he was able to 00:22:22.839 --> 00:22:25.900 rejoin the team. Yeah. And then they put him 00:22:25.900 --> 00:22:30.380 in the playoffs. Playoffs. Playoffs. But I don't 00:22:30.380 --> 00:22:32.720 think that Stenum is going to do as well as Stalbach 00:22:32.720 --> 00:22:36.819 did. No, no, no. Stenum also, the Patriots should 00:22:36.819 --> 00:22:39.980 know Stenum pretty well. Yeah. He backed up Tom 00:22:39.980 --> 00:22:42.079 Brady for a couple of years. Yeah, that's who 00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:46.829 they got him from was the Pats. Yeah. So. You 00:22:46.829 --> 00:22:49.250 know, I was hoping, but Phillip Rivers already 00:22:49.250 --> 00:22:51.970 said no, he's not coming back. Wouldn't that 00:22:51.970 --> 00:22:55.410 have been neat? Yeah, that would have been kind 00:22:55.410 --> 00:22:57.250 of funny. Or as far as I didn't go to the Joe 00:22:57.250 --> 00:23:01.130 Flacco court. Like who else? There was somebody 00:23:01.130 --> 00:23:04.289 else who's like 60 and said, well, hell, I'll 00:23:04.289 --> 00:23:06.549 make a comeback. I'll come and play. Who was 00:23:06.549 --> 00:23:08.710 it? I remember it. People are like, no, that's 00:23:08.710 --> 00:23:11.630 okay. That was obviously a joke for attention. 00:23:12.390 --> 00:23:15.230 Yeah. There's no way. Anybody of that age is 00:23:15.230 --> 00:23:17.210 coming back to the NFL. No, the first time they 00:23:17.210 --> 00:23:19.269 get hit will be the last time they get hit. Yes. 00:23:19.430 --> 00:23:21.910 Yeah. And you tell me that someone isn't going 00:23:21.910 --> 00:23:24.190 to just make a point by just destroying him out 00:23:24.190 --> 00:23:28.269 there on the field? Yeah. Go home, old man. Yeah. 00:23:29.369 --> 00:23:31.630 So, yeah, I think I'm going to have to go with 00:23:31.630 --> 00:23:34.690 the Pats, and I think that actually it's going 00:23:34.690 --> 00:23:36.869 to be closer than people think. I think so, too, 00:23:36.910 --> 00:23:38.950 especially since it's in Denver and they've got 00:23:38.950 --> 00:23:40.849 a great defense. And also, you know, they're 00:23:40.849 --> 00:23:42.809 going to manipulate the game even more, in my 00:23:42.809 --> 00:23:44.829 opinion. They're going to make sure it's not 00:23:44.829 --> 00:23:48.509 a blowout. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so I'm definitely 00:23:48.509 --> 00:23:52.349 going to go ahead and go with the Patriots. And 00:23:52.349 --> 00:23:58.230 then the second game is Rams. Are you going Patriots 00:23:58.230 --> 00:23:59.809 too? Yeah, I'm sorry. Yeah, I'm going Patriots 00:23:59.809 --> 00:24:04.630 as well. I don't see how – there can't be any 00:24:04.630 --> 00:24:06.890 kind of chemistry or timing between Stidham and 00:24:06.890 --> 00:24:09.329 his receivers. They don't know his cadence all 00:24:09.329 --> 00:24:12.980 that well. There's going to be a lot of procedural 00:24:12.980 --> 00:24:15.920 mistakes on Denver's part because the quarterback 00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:18.539 is just so unfamiliar with everybody. Yes, I 00:24:18.539 --> 00:24:22.259 see for a lot of like a false start and a lot 00:24:22.259 --> 00:24:26.259 of offensive holding too. And the first couple 00:24:26.259 --> 00:24:28.460 of big hits that Stidham takes, we'll see how 00:24:28.460 --> 00:24:31.500 he reacts. I mean, that might be enough to either 00:24:31.500 --> 00:24:34.359 really fire him up or it just might kind of crush 00:24:34.359 --> 00:24:37.180 his spirit. You never know. Yeah, it might very 00:24:37.180 --> 00:24:41.400 well. Yeah, so we're both picking Denver, but 00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:44.119 are you picking a close game or not? Yeah, I 00:24:44.119 --> 00:24:46.519 think it's going to be close. I'm going to go 00:24:46.519 --> 00:24:53.980 2017. That sounds good. And, of course, the Patriots. 00:24:55.079 --> 00:25:01.559 I think I'll go 24 -21. Okay. All right, that 00:25:01.559 --> 00:25:05.359 sounds good. I like both of those scores. I think 00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:06.940 there's a really good chance one of them will 00:25:06.940 --> 00:25:13.230 hit. And the second one, Rams at Seahawks. Okay. 00:25:13.809 --> 00:25:16.970 I'm going with the Rams even though everything 00:25:16.970 --> 00:25:19.309 tells me to go with the Seahawks. I know what 00:25:19.309 --> 00:25:22.829 you mean. It's weird. There's very conflicted 00:25:22.829 --> 00:25:26.390 information on this. Yes. The Seahawks look like 00:25:26.390 --> 00:25:28.630 the dominant team over everybody this year and 00:25:28.630 --> 00:25:30.630 should be the favorites to win the Super Bowl, 00:25:30.650 --> 00:25:33.210 and I think they are. Yeah. But the Rams have 00:25:33.210 --> 00:25:36.130 that been there, done that, and they did all 00:25:36.130 --> 00:25:38.980 come from behind games anyhow. Yeah. They haven't 00:25:38.980 --> 00:25:40.839 looked particularly great, but every time they've 00:25:40.839 --> 00:25:43.440 found a way to win, which is what you want in 00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:47.759 a team. So I'm going to go ahead and I'm going 00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:50.960 to pick the Rams. And I'm going to pick the Rams, 00:25:51.099 --> 00:25:59.519 I'm going to say 31 to 29. Nice. I saw a stat 00:25:59.519 --> 00:26:01.500 this morning that kind of caught my eye. As in 00:26:01.500 --> 00:26:03.519 the two previous games between the Rams and the 00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:06.880 Seahawks, Darnold's thrown six interceptions. 00:26:08.309 --> 00:26:10.829 Okay, you know what? Is that right there? Sam 00:26:10.829 --> 00:26:13.490 Darnold being Sam Darnold. I did not have that 00:26:13.490 --> 00:26:15.730 information. I just saw that this morning. I'm 00:26:15.730 --> 00:26:18.069 pretty sure I saw that correctly. Because they 00:26:18.069 --> 00:26:20.329 were talking about it's been like a two -point 00:26:20.329 --> 00:26:22.809 game and they're really close and stuff. Well, 00:26:22.809 --> 00:26:26.210 I've been saying all year, Sam Darnold is going 00:26:26.210 --> 00:26:29.470 to be Sam Darnold because people know Sam Darnold. 00:26:29.549 --> 00:26:31.730 He's been in the league for years and he's never 00:26:31.730 --> 00:26:35.309 been an exceptional talent ever before. You can 00:26:35.309 --> 00:26:37.910 put him in a system. Kind of like Reed did with 00:26:37.910 --> 00:26:41.529 Alex Smith. But there's only so far you're going 00:26:41.529 --> 00:26:44.789 to make it. Yeah. So, I'm going to go with the 00:26:44.789 --> 00:26:47.609 Rams. And also, what you just said, six interceptions. 00:26:47.609 --> 00:26:51.029 They know how to get after him. Yeah. They know 00:26:51.029 --> 00:26:53.130 how to harass him. They know how to get in his 00:26:53.130 --> 00:26:54.970 head. And I think the Rams have the pedigree. 00:26:55.029 --> 00:26:57.210 They have the experience. And they'll get it 00:26:57.210 --> 00:27:00.630 done. Well, I'm going to pick the Seahawks. Okay. 00:27:00.970 --> 00:27:03.230 Because I really like their defense. Their running 00:27:03.230 --> 00:27:07.319 back, Charbonnet, is out. But they got someone 00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:09.759 else. They got Walker. Walker can do it, yeah. 00:27:10.180 --> 00:27:13.599 So I'm going to pick the Seahawks 34 -20. I like 00:27:13.599 --> 00:27:16.440 that one too. Two -score game. Wow, okay. So 00:27:16.440 --> 00:27:18.720 in my version, the Seahawks and the Pats in the 00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:20.859 Super Bowl. In your version, the Rams and the 00:27:20.859 --> 00:27:23.119 Pats in the Super Bowl. Yeah, yeah. I think it's 00:27:23.119 --> 00:27:25.519 a rematch of 2019, only it's going to be reverse. 00:27:25.940 --> 00:27:29.599 Yeah. And that's another thing I'm going for, 00:27:29.660 --> 00:27:32.319 too, is history repeats itself not only in life, 00:27:32.380 --> 00:27:35.500 but in sports. Oh, yeah. You look at the matchups, 00:27:35.519 --> 00:27:38.400 the defining matchups that always happen, that's 00:27:38.400 --> 00:27:40.740 history repeating itself. Yeah. Over and over. 00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:43.440 And I believe in stuff like that, and I think 00:27:43.440 --> 00:27:45.240 that there is a way to life, and you can call 00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:46.859 it whatever you want, but I think that that is 00:27:46.859 --> 00:27:49.859 one of the things. Yeah. All right. Well, do 00:27:49.859 --> 00:27:55.099 you want to go into CJ's crowd? Yes. Okay. Will. 00:27:56.000 --> 00:28:01.559 C .J. Stroud recovered after the dismal performance. 00:28:03.099 --> 00:28:10.160 Horrific performance. I mean, just like... Boy, 00:28:10.200 --> 00:28:13.799 that's tough. That's the kind of game that ruins 00:28:13.799 --> 00:28:17.359 you, yeah. And they brought up the stat is for 00:28:17.359 --> 00:28:21.160 three years in a row, the Texans have made postseason. 00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:24.319 kicked ass in the wild card round and then gotten 00:28:24.319 --> 00:28:26.680 wiped out in the divisional round. Three years 00:28:26.680 --> 00:28:29.859 in a row. So higher competition, it can't be 00:28:29.859 --> 00:28:34.500 done. Yeah. So I've seen a number of people start 00:28:34.500 --> 00:28:37.740 saying, I don't know if C .J. Stroud is going 00:28:37.740 --> 00:28:39.380 to be the guy, but you've got to at least start 00:28:39.380 --> 00:28:42.059 questioning that and thinking maybe he's not 00:28:42.059 --> 00:28:46.339 the guy after all. Well, okay. The game at halftime 00:28:46.339 --> 00:28:49.400 was still very much in reach. Yeah. Why was not? 00:28:49.980 --> 00:28:51.920 Davis Mills put in. They won every game with 00:28:51.920 --> 00:28:54.140 Davis Mills. When he was in there and he did 00:28:54.140 --> 00:28:56.400 a great job. He did a better job than C .J. Stroud 00:28:56.400 --> 00:29:00.740 on most of it. So why was Davis Mills not put 00:29:00.740 --> 00:29:03.799 in? The guy threw four interceptions in the first 00:29:03.799 --> 00:29:07.339 half. Wouldn't you do it not just because you 00:29:07.339 --> 00:29:09.160 want to win the game, but also to preserve him? 00:29:09.200 --> 00:29:10.680 If you think he's the guy, you'd be like, you 00:29:10.680 --> 00:29:12.779 know what, take him out right now. We're going 00:29:12.779 --> 00:29:15.140 to ruin him. Now, I did notice that when they 00:29:15.140 --> 00:29:17.859 came back from halftime, Stroud looked a lot 00:29:17.859 --> 00:29:19.579 better. He looked like he settled down, he was 00:29:19.579 --> 00:29:21.339 making some throws, but that really didn't last 00:29:21.339 --> 00:29:24.720 long. No. So at that point, yeah, they should 00:29:24.720 --> 00:29:26.539 have taken him out and given him a breather. 00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:29.599 Tell him, like, you're not necessarily done for 00:29:29.599 --> 00:29:32.339 the rest of the game, but sit on the sideline 00:29:32.339 --> 00:29:34.720 and observe and see what's happening from this 00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:37.460 perspective, and then we'll see if you go back 00:29:37.460 --> 00:29:42.619 in. Yeah, I agree. Yeah, I hope Stroud can recover, 00:29:42.799 --> 00:29:45.259 but this really can't. He's a good kid. He's 00:29:45.259 --> 00:29:47.140 a nice kid. I would love for him to recover, 00:29:47.259 --> 00:29:51.339 but I don't know. We'll see what happens. Okay, 00:29:51.539 --> 00:29:54.059 is part of the loss to blame on the coaching 00:29:54.059 --> 00:29:57.720 staff and how they use C .J. Stroud? Yeah, I'd 00:29:57.720 --> 00:30:00.839 say so. I would say so too. Yeah. I think that 00:30:00.839 --> 00:30:04.559 they need more of a run first type of an approach. 00:30:05.079 --> 00:30:08.640 And they need to mix in some. safer, higher completion 00:30:08.640 --> 00:30:11.480 percentage passes so he's not constantly taking 00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:14.339 the risky throws. Yeah, I don't feel that C .J. 00:30:14.380 --> 00:30:17.259 Stroud is like Andy Reid material guy. Yeah. 00:30:17.339 --> 00:30:20.779 You know, I don't think that he's that complex. 00:30:20.980 --> 00:30:23.859 I'm not saying anything bad about him at all. 00:30:23.920 --> 00:30:26.759 You have different types of players. Yeah. And 00:30:26.759 --> 00:30:29.400 I don't think that he's that guy that you can 00:30:29.400 --> 00:30:33.170 just go do whatever. No, no. Just give us the 00:30:33.170 --> 00:30:35.930 results. I agree. He strikes me as a guy that 00:30:35.930 --> 00:30:39.690 really thrives in structure. Yes. Where he knows 00:30:39.690 --> 00:30:41.650 what's expected out of him and he knows what's 00:30:41.650 --> 00:30:44.009 coming next. Like Sam Darnold. Yeah. Yeah. Sam 00:30:44.009 --> 00:30:47.210 Darnold without structure is Sam Darnold as we 00:30:47.210 --> 00:30:52.269 knew him in New York. Yeah. Yeah. So, all right. 00:30:54.089 --> 00:30:58.670 So, I'm saying that C .J. Stroud is good. continue 00:30:58.670 --> 00:31:00.930 to get worse. I hate saying that. I love the 00:31:00.930 --> 00:31:03.710 kid and everything. He's a nice kid. But I just 00:31:03.710 --> 00:31:07.049 don't see it. The first year he looked great, 00:31:07.130 --> 00:31:09.970 and ever since then he's been regressing. And 00:31:09.970 --> 00:31:13.349 not just kind of, but a lot. Yeah, yeah. The 00:31:13.349 --> 00:31:15.970 other quarterbacks are doing, they're progressing 00:31:15.970 --> 00:31:20.869 okay. In Washington, Jaden Daniels is still okay. 00:31:23.970 --> 00:31:28.710 What's his name? I'm blanking. Anyway, there's 00:31:28.710 --> 00:31:30.309 a couple of other younger quarterbacks. Caleb 00:31:30.309 --> 00:31:32.390 Williams. Oh, Caleb Williams. He's getting better. 00:31:33.690 --> 00:31:36.049 Someone who's starting to show that he's not 00:31:36.049 --> 00:31:39.309 really all they thought he was is the Panthers 00:31:39.309 --> 00:31:43.230 quarterback. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Young. Bryce 00:31:43.230 --> 00:31:45.309 Young. Bryce Young, yeah. He's not necessarily 00:31:45.309 --> 00:31:48.289 the guy. I was never sold on Bryce Young anyhow. 00:31:48.609 --> 00:31:51.069 Trevor Lawrence is making a comeback as being 00:31:51.069 --> 00:31:52.950 a better looking quarterback. He's better, but 00:31:52.950 --> 00:31:54.490 he's not the guy that's going to bring it in. 00:31:54.650 --> 00:31:56.289 They're never going to be a championship team 00:31:56.289 --> 00:31:58.650 with Trevor Lawrence at the helm. No, no. He's 00:31:58.650 --> 00:32:03.130 kind of reached. It looks like he's kind of reached 00:32:03.130 --> 00:32:05.650 his upper limit. Yeah, that's about it. If you 00:32:05.650 --> 00:32:10.250 put him on a massively talented team, then he 00:32:10.250 --> 00:32:12.750 could probably coast with them to the Super Bowl. 00:32:12.829 --> 00:32:16.089 But as far as driving them there, like a Montana 00:32:16.089 --> 00:32:19.890 or Holmes, nah, I don't see it from Trevor Lawrence. 00:32:21.609 --> 00:32:25.430 And it does seem as some quarterbacks are progressing 00:32:25.430 --> 00:32:30.190 that C .J. Stroud is backsliding. And I would 00:32:30.190 --> 00:32:32.309 look at their quarterback's coach and their offensive 00:32:32.309 --> 00:32:34.829 scheme in general and, as you said, how they're 00:32:34.829 --> 00:32:39.809 choosing to use him. It just seems so odd that 00:32:39.809 --> 00:32:43.069 teams would waste and throw away such talent 00:32:43.069 --> 00:32:46.109 and not use him in the best possible way. It's 00:32:46.109 --> 00:32:49.359 almost like... They've decided if C .J. Stroud 00:32:49.359 --> 00:32:51.660 isn't going to play quarterback our way, we don't 00:32:51.660 --> 00:32:54.299 care about him. Yeah. We're not going to adapt 00:32:54.299 --> 00:32:56.660 to fit his styles and his strengths. He's got 00:32:56.660 --> 00:32:59.059 to adapt to us or he's out of here. That kind 00:32:59.059 --> 00:33:00.740 of seems like the attitude in Houston, which 00:33:00.740 --> 00:33:03.059 is weird. It is weird. It really shouldn't be 00:33:03.059 --> 00:33:08.519 how they look at it. Yeah, I know. Yeah, okay. 00:33:09.359 --> 00:33:11.859 You spoke about Caleb Williams, right? Okay. 00:33:12.980 --> 00:33:16.220 Caleb Williams' talk is just that, talk. He's 00:33:16.220 --> 00:33:19.019 getting better. Yeah. But let me go into this. 00:33:19.180 --> 00:33:22.259 Okay. Caleb Williams had a strong 2025 season 00:33:22.259 --> 00:33:25.400 for the Chicago Bears, setting a franchise passing 00:33:25.400 --> 00:33:31.240 record with 3 ,942 yards, which isn't even 4 00:33:31.240 --> 00:33:33.940 ,000. And that's the franchise record. Yeah, 00:33:34.059 --> 00:33:36.660 they've never had great quarterbacks. Jim McMahon, 00:33:36.900 --> 00:33:38.299 I think, might have been the best one before 00:33:38.299 --> 00:33:41.000 then, and he was mediocre. He was a showman. 00:33:41.200 --> 00:33:46.029 Yeah. Okay. He had 27 touchdowns, 7 interceptions, 00:33:46.049 --> 00:33:49.529 which is a good ratio, but 27 touchdowns isn't 00:33:49.529 --> 00:33:53.710 that great. No. And rushing for 388 yards and 00:33:53.710 --> 00:33:56.849 3 scores, despite some inconsistencies in completion 00:33:56.849 --> 00:34:00.849 percentage, improved his sack avoidance. Yeah. 00:34:01.690 --> 00:34:04.869 So, 19 games and he hadn't reached the 4 ,000 00:34:04.869 --> 00:34:08.230 mark. He had 19 games this season. Yeah, you're 00:34:08.230 --> 00:34:12.349 right. Okay, Mahomes. And the reason I say this 00:34:12.349 --> 00:34:15.010 is because there's a lot of talk. Like, oh, we 00:34:15.010 --> 00:34:17.230 need to move away from Mahomes and go to Williams. 00:34:17.369 --> 00:34:24.070 He's the sexy one and all that. Okay. Mahomes 00:34:24.070 --> 00:34:29.090 was, how many games was he in? 13 games? Yeah. 00:34:29.289 --> 00:34:32.530 Okay, he's 13 games in, not 19. And he is 200 00:34:32.530 --> 00:34:36.030 yards behind Caleb Williams. That's not much. 00:34:36.170 --> 00:34:43.300 No. Wow. No. So, all right. So, all right. If 00:34:43.300 --> 00:34:45.300 Mahomes is playing against the Chicago slash 00:34:45.300 --> 00:34:48.239 Rams game, he might have thrown a pick, but he 00:34:48.239 --> 00:34:50.119 would have threw three touchdowns to win the 00:34:50.119 --> 00:34:53.300 game. Yeah. Caleb Williams did not. Caleb Williams, 00:34:53.380 --> 00:34:55.780 after that fantastic, magical play, he threw 00:34:55.780 --> 00:34:59.820 it 40 yards out, just falling backwards, almost 00:34:59.820 --> 00:35:03.659 in the end zone. Yeah. That play, as great as 00:35:03.659 --> 00:35:06.079 it was, is as bad as a play that lost the game 00:35:06.079 --> 00:35:08.900 in overtime. Yeah. They were in field goal range. 00:35:09.880 --> 00:35:12.519 He could have ran it another five yards to just 00:35:12.519 --> 00:35:15.780 kind of like put a little icing on the cake there. 00:35:16.300 --> 00:35:19.739 Instead, he chooses to throw the ball, and he 00:35:19.739 --> 00:35:21.679 threw it right into a defender's hands. Yeah. 00:35:23.559 --> 00:35:27.519 Gut punch. Yeah, gut punch. So is this guy the 00:35:27.519 --> 00:35:29.500 next Mahomes? I don't think so. No. There might 00:35:29.500 --> 00:35:31.199 be one out there, but it's not Caleb Williams, 00:35:31.320 --> 00:35:34.239 at least not right now. No. Caleb Williams has 00:35:34.239 --> 00:35:36.500 to get much better. I mean, I go back to everybody, 00:35:36.760 --> 00:35:39.380 Mahomes' first year being in a championship game, 00:35:39.519 --> 00:35:41.639 and he would have beat Brady if it wasn't for 00:35:41.639 --> 00:35:44.719 fucking Dee Ford and his stupidity. Yeah. And 00:35:44.719 --> 00:35:47.639 it may be that that was what was supposed to 00:35:47.639 --> 00:35:49.539 happen. We don't know. It could have been. Who 00:35:49.539 --> 00:35:52.960 knows? Tom Brady's last hurrah in the NFC. Yeah. 00:35:54.500 --> 00:35:59.900 So the Chiefs have... Their receiving coach, 00:36:00.139 --> 00:36:03.420 they have a new wide receiving coach. He was 00:36:03.420 --> 00:36:06.199 from the formerly Browns and Dolphins wide receivers 00:36:06.199 --> 00:36:08.980 coach. He was snapped up by the Chiefs, which 00:36:08.980 --> 00:36:11.480 means the Chiefs think it was coaching and not 00:36:11.480 --> 00:36:16.619 the receivers. So, okay, this guy is really, 00:36:16.719 --> 00:36:18.400 really good. If you look up his stats, I forgot 00:36:18.400 --> 00:36:20.820 his name, and, of course, I forgot to write it 00:36:20.820 --> 00:36:24.980 down. So, but, okay, he has a history of getting 00:36:24.980 --> 00:36:27.480 receivers wide open. Look at the Miami Dolphins 00:36:27.480 --> 00:36:29.969 and how they were doing. Yeah. Okay, this is 00:36:29.969 --> 00:36:32.210 what they need. They need separation. That was 00:36:32.210 --> 00:36:34.469 a big problem this year. Yeah, because as soon 00:36:34.469 --> 00:36:36.110 as they grab the ball, the defender is right 00:36:36.110 --> 00:36:38.050 there. Hit them as hard as they can, ball knocks 00:36:38.050 --> 00:36:42.230 out. That's it. Yeah. Play over. Yep. And no 00:36:42.230 --> 00:36:44.550 run after catch, even if you do catch it. Yes. 00:36:44.670 --> 00:36:47.929 Catch it, slam right there. Yeah. So they need 00:36:47.929 --> 00:36:49.989 to be more wide open. Yeah. So they can make 00:36:49.989 --> 00:36:53.210 better plays, unless you're, like, worthy. And 00:36:53.210 --> 00:36:55.369 you run right straight at him instead of going 00:36:55.369 --> 00:36:57.530 to the sideline and running. He's like, oh, hey, 00:36:57.630 --> 00:36:59.210 everybody's over there. Let me go over there. 00:36:59.409 --> 00:37:02.550 Yep. I don't know if that can be coached out 00:37:02.550 --> 00:37:05.090 at me and there's a problem. Yeah, that's a weird 00:37:05.090 --> 00:37:07.570 thing I see a number of football players do. 00:37:09.190 --> 00:37:11.869 They don't run at the person with the ball. They 00:37:11.869 --> 00:37:13.949 run at the person that's been assigned to block 00:37:13.949 --> 00:37:15.889 them. It's like, why are you making their job 00:37:15.889 --> 00:37:18.869 easier? Run around that guy. Fake him out. Do 00:37:18.869 --> 00:37:20.489 something. But they just run right to him and 00:37:20.489 --> 00:37:22.989 engage like, okay, my work's done. This is a 00:37:22.989 --> 00:37:24.650 guy who was supposed to block me and I was supposed 00:37:24.650 --> 00:37:26.969 to get past, so we'll just stand here and do 00:37:26.969 --> 00:37:29.090 kangaroo fighting until the play's over. Yeah, 00:37:29.130 --> 00:37:31.429 that's a good way of putting it, kangaroo fighting. 00:37:31.550 --> 00:37:34.369 That's exactly it. I just don't get that attitude 00:37:34.369 --> 00:37:36.829 of, I mean, even coaches teach us, like, here's 00:37:36.829 --> 00:37:39.880 your job. You go and engage this guy. okay, but 00:37:39.880 --> 00:37:41.500 if the play's over there and the ball's on the 00:37:41.500 --> 00:37:43.400 ground, shouldn't I be jumping on the ball instead 00:37:43.400 --> 00:37:46.000 of engaging this guy? I mean, think. Yes. Have 00:37:46.000 --> 00:37:48.199 some thoughts in your head. Well, that's what 00:37:48.199 --> 00:37:50.579 makes a good player from a fair player is right 00:37:50.579 --> 00:37:53.920 there. The instinct. The instinct of knowing 00:37:53.920 --> 00:37:56.000 what's going on in the game. That spidey sense, 00:37:56.079 --> 00:37:59.159 like, you know. It's like coach said to do this, 00:37:59.199 --> 00:38:01.659 but that doesn't apply here anymore because something 00:38:01.659 --> 00:38:04.179 else happened, so I'm going to ignore his instructions 00:38:04.179 --> 00:38:06.599 and do the right thing. Yes. Whereas so many 00:38:06.599 --> 00:38:08.619 other players are like, nope, coach said do this. 00:38:08.840 --> 00:38:10.760 I'm just going to do it even if it costs us the 00:38:10.760 --> 00:38:13.940 game. Yeah. No, I agree. And also, there's something 00:38:13.940 --> 00:38:17.219 to be said for a person in motion at full speed 00:38:17.219 --> 00:38:21.860 is extremely hard to stop. Yep. And he may be 00:38:21.860 --> 00:38:24.440 stopped well in the end zone, but he's going 00:38:24.440 --> 00:38:26.619 to get another 10, 20 yards being full motion. 00:38:26.739 --> 00:38:29.440 Yeah. Anyhow, all right, let's go to some of 00:38:29.440 --> 00:38:31.880 your stuff. All right. I don't know. I would. 00:38:33.099 --> 00:38:37.099 Written down as far as yesterday afternoon and 00:38:37.099 --> 00:38:41.860 all the coaching carousel, we know that the Giants 00:38:41.860 --> 00:38:45.099 have signed Harbaugh and the Falcons have signed 00:38:45.099 --> 00:38:49.340 Stefanski. And Baker Mayfield certainly knows 00:38:49.340 --> 00:38:52.219 that the Falcons have signed Stefanski. Did you 00:38:52.219 --> 00:38:54.559 see what he said this morning? No, what did he 00:38:54.559 --> 00:38:58.579 say? He sent out this message. Apparently Stefanski 00:38:58.579 --> 00:39:01.719 referred to something as a failure or having 00:39:01.719 --> 00:39:04.909 failed. that Baker Mayfield took exception to. 00:39:05.510 --> 00:39:08.590 And he said something like, you know, failures, 00:39:08.849 --> 00:39:10.550 you know, is it sure that's where you want to 00:39:10.550 --> 00:39:14.730 go? And then he said, still waiting on a caller 00:39:14.730 --> 00:39:17.570 or a text after you ran me out of Cleveland, 00:39:17.670 --> 00:39:20.610 threw me away like a piece of garbage. Can't 00:39:20.610 --> 00:39:25.010 wait to play you twice a year, Coach. Baker Mayfield 00:39:25.010 --> 00:39:29.500 is going to spend all of his energy just... pounding 00:39:29.500 --> 00:39:31.599 Stefanski's team every chance he gets. I can't 00:39:31.599 --> 00:39:33.619 wait to watch. I'm looking forward to that big 00:39:33.619 --> 00:39:37.300 time. So that is why Baker Mayfield was no longer 00:39:37.300 --> 00:39:39.500 in Cleveland. When we questioned that so many 00:39:39.500 --> 00:39:41.000 times. Yeah, Stefanski's the one who decided 00:39:41.000 --> 00:39:44.059 to run his ass out of town. And they never recovered 00:39:44.059 --> 00:39:47.239 from that either. No, they didn't. And I can 00:39:47.239 --> 00:39:50.619 understand how Baker Mayfield wants to go rub 00:39:50.619 --> 00:39:53.320 Stefanski's nose in it. So look how wrong you 00:39:53.320 --> 00:39:56.829 were. Smell how wrong you were. Now, what happens 00:39:56.829 --> 00:39:58.969 if Mayfield gets his ass kicked constantly by 00:39:58.969 --> 00:40:01.489 Stefanski? That's going to hurt. He's probably 00:40:01.489 --> 00:40:03.150 going to retire. I don't think he's going to. 00:40:03.230 --> 00:40:06.710 I think he may not win very many games other 00:40:06.710 --> 00:40:08.730 than that. He's going to hurt him. Yeah, he is. 00:40:09.070 --> 00:40:15.110 Yeah. So, yeah, Atlanta, I didn't realize that. 00:40:15.150 --> 00:40:17.889 Yeah, they're in the same division. Yep. Yep. 00:40:18.829 --> 00:40:24.559 Let's see. And then down here we – The Falcons 00:40:24.559 --> 00:40:27.199 hired Bill Callahan as their offensive line coach. 00:40:28.579 --> 00:40:31.780 Dumbass Bill Callahan. I know. I guess he'll 00:40:31.780 --> 00:40:35.400 be okay as line coach. No, I was getting ready 00:40:35.400 --> 00:40:39.420 to say, you know, as much as I don't like him, 00:40:39.420 --> 00:40:41.659 I think he's capable of that. Yeah, you just 00:40:41.659 --> 00:40:44.619 don't want to make him head coach. Yeah. I mean, 00:40:44.699 --> 00:40:46.800 they're kind of like the Kiffins. How do they 00:40:46.800 --> 00:40:51.760 keep getting fucking jobs? Yeah. See, the Dolphins 00:40:51.760 --> 00:40:54.980 hired... Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Halfley 00:40:54.980 --> 00:40:57.320 is their head coach, so Chris Shula is not going 00:40:57.320 --> 00:41:00.920 to get it. Uh -huh. The Chiefs apparently are 00:41:00.920 --> 00:41:03.280 planning to bring back Eric Bien -Ami as offensive 00:41:03.280 --> 00:41:07.559 coordinator. Yes. The Lions have hired the Cardinals 00:41:07.559 --> 00:41:10.760 offensive coordinator Drew Petzig as their offensive 00:41:10.760 --> 00:41:18.380 coordinator, so a lateral move. Uh -huh. And 00:41:18.380 --> 00:41:21.570 the Titans are expected to hire Robert... Salah 00:41:21.570 --> 00:41:24.730 or Salah. Salah, yeah. And that's another thing 00:41:24.730 --> 00:41:26.849 is I don't know how he keeps getting jobs. Yeah. 00:41:27.469 --> 00:41:31.230 And then the Chargers have hired Mike McDaniels 00:41:31.230 --> 00:41:34.909 as their new offensive coordinator. So he went 00:41:34.909 --> 00:41:39.809 from head coach to OC. Okay, I'm sorry, what 00:41:39.809 --> 00:41:43.809 now? The Chargers have hired Mike McDaniel as 00:41:43.809 --> 00:41:47.769 offensive coordinator. Okay, okay, good, good. 00:41:47.869 --> 00:41:49.670 So we'll get to play against him twice a year. 00:41:50.250 --> 00:41:52.929 Alright, a slight medical pause there. I'm trying 00:41:52.929 --> 00:41:56.730 to get some sort of a letter. And then my doctor 00:41:56.730 --> 00:41:59.710 is going to a private group where you pay per 00:41:59.710 --> 00:42:03.070 year to be in it. $2 ,400 a year. And I'm already 00:42:03.070 --> 00:42:05.010 getting a fucking run around calling trying to 00:42:05.010 --> 00:42:07.150 get a letter in necessity for my fucking massages. 00:42:07.230 --> 00:42:09.969 Makes it look like just a cash grab. That's what 00:42:09.969 --> 00:42:11.690 it looks like to me. They really weren't offering 00:42:11.690 --> 00:42:13.769 much else. They just wanted extra money out of 00:42:13.769 --> 00:42:15.550 you. They were easier to deal with before they 00:42:15.550 --> 00:42:17.230 joined this fucking group. So I know what I'm 00:42:17.230 --> 00:42:19.010 going to do now. I'm going somewhere else because 00:42:19.010 --> 00:42:21.769 this is bullshit. So, anyhow, I didn't say anybody's 00:42:21.769 --> 00:42:23.809 name or nothing, so fuck off if you've got something 00:42:23.809 --> 00:42:26.190 to say about it. All right, I'm fired up now, 00:42:26.289 --> 00:42:31.349 so go ahead. All right, well, I've got the head 00:42:31.349 --> 00:42:33.750 coaching vacancies that are still open. Oh, okay. 00:42:33.889 --> 00:42:38.449 Kind of a rundown on what the team is, the pros 00:42:38.449 --> 00:42:43.789 and cons. In Arizona, on the plus side, you've 00:42:43.789 --> 00:42:46.829 got wide receivers Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael 00:42:46.829 --> 00:42:51.469 Wilson. Tied in Trey McBride. But on the minus 00:42:51.469 --> 00:42:54.150 side for a potential new head coach, management's 00:42:54.150 --> 00:42:57.769 awful. General Manager Monty Austinford has made 00:42:57.769 --> 00:43:01.789 really bad drafts. And the owner is cheap. The 00:43:01.789 --> 00:43:04.309 ownership is shown year after year. They do not 00:43:04.309 --> 00:43:05.989 want to invest in the club or the facilities. 00:43:06.550 --> 00:43:09.570 You know, this reminds me of one of those people 00:43:09.570 --> 00:43:11.489 that are trying to get their foot in the door. 00:43:12.210 --> 00:43:14.800 Man, this is unclear. Oh, geez, yeah, sure. Is 00:43:14.800 --> 00:43:17.820 that from the metal? No, it's shining off the 00:43:17.820 --> 00:43:19.960 window up there. In about ten minutes, the sun 00:43:19.960 --> 00:43:22.000 will move enough and it'll be gone. So I'm just 00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:23.659 going to put up with it for ten minutes. This 00:43:23.659 --> 00:43:25.579 is a subpar candidate that's going to have to 00:43:25.579 --> 00:43:27.960 take this and earn their way up because this 00:43:27.960 --> 00:43:30.539 is not a preferred job in the NFL by any means. 00:43:30.619 --> 00:43:31.840 As a matter of fact, it's probably one of the 00:43:31.840 --> 00:43:34.179 lesser jobs. And doesn't that suck for Arizona 00:43:34.179 --> 00:43:37.480 that they're perpetually the team that they need 00:43:37.480 --> 00:43:39.739 a rookie head coach because they established 00:43:39.739 --> 00:43:41.639 one? I know, they could never graduate. Yeah. 00:43:42.079 --> 00:43:45.940 Hey, Pete Carroll's available. Yeah. So Arizona 00:43:45.940 --> 00:43:48.619 is going to keep being an also -ran as long as 00:43:48.619 --> 00:43:51.179 they're not willing to take that next step. Yes. 00:43:51.300 --> 00:43:53.619 Yeah. And that's part of the ownership being 00:43:53.619 --> 00:43:55.980 cheap. Yeah, that's part of everything we just 00:43:55.980 --> 00:43:59.320 said. Yeah. All right. So Baltimore has also 00:43:59.320 --> 00:44:02.239 got a position available. On the plus side for 00:44:02.239 --> 00:44:04.800 a potential head coach, they are all pro at multiple 00:44:04.800 --> 00:44:08.139 positions on that roster. On the minus side, 00:44:08.280 --> 00:44:10.579 both the offensive line and defensive line need 00:44:10.579 --> 00:44:14.030 makeovers. And that's difficult. You've got to 00:44:14.030 --> 00:44:15.769 find the people. You've got to get them to mesh 00:44:15.769 --> 00:44:18.389 and gel. It's not going to be an easy thing for 00:44:18.389 --> 00:44:24.250 Baltimore to revamp both those lines. The Bills 00:44:24.250 --> 00:44:27.769 were a late entry into the coaching carousel. 00:44:28.030 --> 00:44:30.289 On the plus side, you've got Josh Allen and James 00:44:30.289 --> 00:44:33.730 Cook. But that was it. That was the only thing 00:44:33.730 --> 00:44:35.769 they came up with for a plus side for the Bills. 00:44:35.769 --> 00:44:38.429 Yeah, that's about it. I was going to add new 00:44:38.429 --> 00:44:41.389 stadium because they're getting a new stadium. 00:44:42.960 --> 00:44:45.420 The Patriots owner has already come out and said 00:44:45.420 --> 00:44:47.820 Bills are making a huge mistake putting a roof 00:44:47.820 --> 00:44:50.059 on their new stadium. Oh, I agree. Because playing 00:44:50.059 --> 00:44:54.880 in the cold gives you an edge. And unless all 00:44:54.880 --> 00:44:57.019 the teams are going to switch to indoor, then 00:44:57.019 --> 00:44:59.159 you're giving up an advantage. You know, I go 00:44:59.159 --> 00:45:02.380 back to that Miami playoff game a couple of years 00:45:02.380 --> 00:45:06.260 back when it was like 10 below and all the frostbite 00:45:06.260 --> 00:45:09.780 and all that. There were players on our team 00:45:09.780 --> 00:45:12.429 that were out there with no sleeves. And that 00:45:12.429 --> 00:45:14.510 is intimidation. Yeah, and there are players 00:45:14.510 --> 00:45:17.090 on the Miami team that had never in their lives 00:45:17.090 --> 00:45:19.829 experienced those temperatures. Yeah, and it 00:45:19.829 --> 00:45:23.650 obviously, I mean, by the blowout, did factor 00:45:23.650 --> 00:45:25.889 in it. I mean, we were a superior team, yeah, 00:45:25.969 --> 00:45:28.510 but still. But, yeah, it was a pretty crushing 00:45:28.510 --> 00:45:31.329 defeat. Yeah, you could tell. Tago Viola had 00:45:31.329 --> 00:45:34.250 no fucking idea. He was out there going, jeez, 00:45:34.250 --> 00:45:36.789 man, what the hell is this? Yeah. I remember 00:45:36.789 --> 00:45:39.349 a cartoon showing a little kid outside in winter, 00:45:39.409 --> 00:45:41.809 and he's saying, the air is hurting my face. 00:45:42.750 --> 00:45:45.210 There are people who just never have experienced 00:45:45.210 --> 00:45:47.090 that, and then you want to go play three hours 00:45:47.090 --> 00:45:50.710 of football in it. Yeah, I agree. Putting that 00:45:50.710 --> 00:45:53.650 on there is just ridiculous. And also, the fun 00:45:53.650 --> 00:45:57.309 and the fodder of giving people free passes to 00:45:57.309 --> 00:46:00.110 watch a game. If they grab a snow shovel and 00:46:00.110 --> 00:46:02.530 start shoveling, I love that. I think that's 00:46:02.530 --> 00:46:05.039 just, to me. That's like a closeness that you 00:46:05.039 --> 00:46:08.300 don't get with other football teams. Yeah. Well, 00:46:08.960 --> 00:46:11.219 on the negative side for the Bills and their 00:46:11.219 --> 00:46:13.380 potential new head coach, president of football 00:46:13.380 --> 00:46:17.159 operations and GM, Brandon Bean. He was GM, and 00:46:17.159 --> 00:46:19.400 now he's also been promoted to president of football 00:46:19.400 --> 00:46:23.840 operations. He's Mr. Bean's nephew? He is. Yeah, 00:46:23.900 --> 00:46:27.199 that's what I thought, yeah. He is picked poorly 00:46:27.199 --> 00:46:31.260 at wide receiver. For example, Keon Coleman has 00:46:31.260 --> 00:46:34.429 been a healthy scratch. in multiple games for 00:46:34.429 --> 00:46:38.050 disciplinary reasons. Now, good job bashing him. 00:46:38.190 --> 00:46:40.630 Oh, is his name Sky Moore? Oh, wait a minute. 00:46:40.670 --> 00:46:43.289 Oh, hang on, hang on. I'm getting things confused. 00:46:44.030 --> 00:46:48.289 Go ahead, I'm sorry. He's also drafted Joshua 00:46:48.289 --> 00:46:52.869 Palmer, who had 22 catches for 303 yards. That 00:46:52.869 --> 00:46:55.989 ain't much. No, he's catching them one yard at 00:46:55.989 --> 00:46:59.389 a time. Curtis Samuel is another one. Hasn't 00:46:59.389 --> 00:47:01.150 been performing for the Bulls. No, never heard 00:47:01.150 --> 00:47:03.909 his name being brought up. Yep. And he's been 00:47:03.909 --> 00:47:08.090 missing at cornerback in the draft. So those 00:47:08.090 --> 00:47:12.610 are all areas of concern. Okay. And it's especially 00:47:12.610 --> 00:47:15.329 bad that they've been drafting poorly wide receiver 00:47:15.329 --> 00:47:17.809 and they traded away Stephon Diggs. Oh, I know. 00:47:17.949 --> 00:47:20.150 Oh, thank you very much. You're welcome. Thank 00:47:20.150 --> 00:47:22.230 you. All right. You all finished with that? Oh, 00:47:22.230 --> 00:47:24.510 yeah, I'm finished. Thank you. The Cubans here 00:47:24.510 --> 00:47:31.579 are the best. Yeah. You like that, huh? Okay. 00:47:31.579 --> 00:47:33.400 So it'll be interesting to see what happens at 00:47:33.400 --> 00:47:35.599 the Bills. Well, I got a question along the Bills 00:47:35.599 --> 00:47:39.019 and Josh Allen in particular. Okay. How long 00:47:39.019 --> 00:47:42.199 until the fans turn on it? I think it's already 00:47:42.199 --> 00:47:45.239 happening. On Josh Allen? Yes. Yeah, I think 00:47:45.239 --> 00:47:47.880 it's starting to happen. I'm starting to see 00:47:47.880 --> 00:47:51.460 little quotes here and there from the Bills Mafia 00:47:51.460 --> 00:47:55.079 and their whoever's and all that. Yeah. I'm starting 00:47:55.079 --> 00:47:57.260 to see little quotes that are questioning him 00:47:57.260 --> 00:48:00.949 or they were McDermott. Yeah. DeMurmurment. DeMurmurment. 00:48:02.150 --> 00:48:04.670 McDermott. DeMurmuration. Yeah, yeah, him. Yeah, 00:48:04.710 --> 00:48:06.429 that guy. Yeah, yeah, the guy that was just fired. 00:48:06.489 --> 00:48:10.889 Yeah, him. Yeah, that's, you know, Bill's fan 00:48:10.889 --> 00:48:13.750 is pretty rabid when they like you, but they're 00:48:13.750 --> 00:48:16.110 also pretty rabid when they don't like you. Yes. 00:48:16.130 --> 00:48:18.730 And if they've decided that, you know, Josh Allen 00:48:18.730 --> 00:48:20.530 ain't all that and they've been sold a bill of 00:48:20.530 --> 00:48:23.269 goods, they're going to get pretty upset. Well, 00:48:23.389 --> 00:48:25.690 I see the team kind of crumbling now. I mean, 00:48:25.710 --> 00:48:27.849 they have so many. Well, you just illustrated, 00:48:27.969 --> 00:48:31.059 you just pointed out. All the holes, but that's 00:48:31.059 --> 00:48:32.840 just the ones that are obvious. There's so many 00:48:32.840 --> 00:48:35.420 holes in their whole thing. But then again, you 00:48:35.420 --> 00:48:37.320 can look at the Chiefs the same way, I suppose. 00:48:37.679 --> 00:48:41.860 True, true. A good GM doesn't really worry about 00:48:41.860 --> 00:48:44.820 the salary cap like a bad GM. A good GM knows 00:48:44.820 --> 00:48:47.039 what to do and how to do it and when to do it. 00:48:47.199 --> 00:48:52.460 Yeah, yeah. You kick the salary of the cap heads 00:48:52.460 --> 00:48:56.980 down the road, and it's like... 100 times easier 00:48:56.980 --> 00:49:00.099 to get it done when you don't have multiple bad 00:49:00.099 --> 00:49:03.159 picks that you owe money to. Yes. And that's 00:49:03.159 --> 00:49:04.920 kind of the situation the Bills are in right 00:49:04.920 --> 00:49:07.860 now. I remember when Denver was in that position, 00:49:08.019 --> 00:49:10.780 they had a ton of cap money going to players 00:49:10.780 --> 00:49:13.079 that just weren't even on the team anymore. Yeah. 00:49:13.219 --> 00:49:18.050 They turned that around. No, that's true. When 00:49:18.050 --> 00:49:21.289 you start getting into these large contracts 00:49:21.289 --> 00:49:24.150 for people, that's exactly what happens to teams. 00:49:24.250 --> 00:49:27.110 And it's beautifully designed. The NFL really 00:49:27.110 --> 00:49:29.630 came up with a great template for what to do. 00:49:29.769 --> 00:49:34.889 And it's working for the most part. So it's the 00:49:34.889 --> 00:49:37.429 way it is. But like I said, someone that knows 00:49:37.429 --> 00:49:39.429 what they're doing really well can manipulate 00:49:39.429 --> 00:49:42.090 it enough to win all the time. So perennial winners. 00:49:42.869 --> 00:49:46.559 And how would you like to be Patriots? You already 00:49:46.559 --> 00:49:48.980 know going into next year that everyone else 00:49:48.980 --> 00:49:51.420 in the division has brand new head coaches. Yeah, 00:49:51.420 --> 00:49:54.159 oh, I'd be feasting. I think the Patriots are 00:49:54.159 --> 00:49:56.820 just like licking their lips already for next 00:49:56.820 --> 00:50:02.840 season. That's going to be something else. Especially 00:50:02.840 --> 00:50:06.199 now that John Harbaugh is going to New York. 00:50:06.619 --> 00:50:10.500 Yes. You could hear a collective sigh of relief 00:50:10.500 --> 00:50:13.719 from the Patriots. Yes. I'm sure that they were 00:50:13.719 --> 00:50:15.059 worried that he was going to end up in their 00:50:15.059 --> 00:50:19.199 division. Actually, strictly speaking, he's going 00:50:19.199 --> 00:50:21.920 to New Jersey. Well, yeah, yeah, yeah, the middle. 00:50:22.099 --> 00:50:25.539 It's true. New York really only has one team, 00:50:25.559 --> 00:50:27.780 and that's the Bills. Yeah, that's it. New Jersey 00:50:27.780 --> 00:50:30.019 has two that pretend they're in New York. Yeah, 00:50:30.059 --> 00:50:31.960 they call themselves New York, but they're actually 00:50:31.960 --> 00:50:34.059 in New Jersey. But I want to put this up. The 00:50:34.059 --> 00:50:36.920 Kansas City Chiefs will be the Kansas City Chiefs, 00:50:36.920 --> 00:50:41.219 only Kansas City Kansas Chiefs. Now, we could 00:50:41.219 --> 00:50:44.039 call ourselves the Los Angeles Chiefs of Kansas 00:50:44.039 --> 00:50:47.610 City. I like that. Yeah. Let's do it. Yeah. Yeah. 00:50:47.949 --> 00:50:51.750 All right. Next up on our coaching carousel is 00:50:51.750 --> 00:50:55.190 the Browns again are on the coaching carousel. 00:50:55.190 --> 00:50:57.670 On the plus, they have Miles Garrett and a new 00:50:57.670 --> 00:51:00.389 stadium. Yes, and they got a new stadium in the 00:51:00.389 --> 00:51:03.050 suburbs. Yeah. Even though they don't like it. 00:51:03.710 --> 00:51:06.550 And supposedly they're still fighting with the 00:51:06.550 --> 00:51:11.170 airports. Yes, they are. Yeah. On the downside, 00:51:11.309 --> 00:51:14.929 they have no franchise QB. No. No. Nothing close. 00:51:15.210 --> 00:51:20.309 Yeah, and also, what's his name? The cereal rubbing 00:51:20.309 --> 00:51:24.349 tub guy. Watson. Deshaun Watson. I don't even 00:51:24.349 --> 00:51:26.650 know if he's going to be back. They just quit 00:51:26.650 --> 00:51:29.130 talking about him altogether. That's been the 00:51:29.130 --> 00:51:31.329 most telling thing, is that they're completely 00:51:31.329 --> 00:51:34.969 ignoring his existence. And it takes, every once 00:51:34.969 --> 00:51:36.969 in a while you get an obscure reference to him 00:51:36.969 --> 00:51:39.590 as like an oh -by -the -way part of an article. 00:51:40.699 --> 00:51:43.380 Oh, by the way, Deshaun Watson is still hanging 00:51:43.380 --> 00:51:46.099 around there in Cleveland. I remember during 00:51:46.099 --> 00:51:48.619 the year last year, they were saying, yeah, Deshaun's 00:51:48.619 --> 00:51:50.719 here. He's in the facilities. He's working with 00:51:50.719 --> 00:51:53.639 the other players. Now they're like, Deshaun 00:51:53.639 --> 00:51:56.099 who? The latest allegations, I think, is what 00:51:56.099 --> 00:51:58.159 did it. Yeah. They were willing to hang with 00:51:58.159 --> 00:52:01.139 him for a little while because they paid so much 00:52:01.139 --> 00:52:04.639 money. But, you know, Stefanski really should 00:52:04.639 --> 00:52:08.079 have kept his mouth shut. Oh, yeah. Because they 00:52:08.079 --> 00:52:12.159 – They got rid of Mayfield and then just stepped 00:52:12.159 --> 00:52:14.079 into a pile of shit. Yes, they did. If you get 00:52:14.079 --> 00:52:15.760 rid of somebody you think is not getting the 00:52:15.760 --> 00:52:17.719 job done or is a malcontent or whatever, that's 00:52:17.719 --> 00:52:20.139 one thing. But how you follow that up is how 00:52:20.139 --> 00:52:23.599 you're going to be remembered. And they handed 00:52:23.599 --> 00:52:26.219 the team to a sexual predator. Yes, exactly. 00:52:26.539 --> 00:52:29.320 Public relations nightmare. Yep. I mean, you 00:52:29.320 --> 00:52:31.960 might as well go hire Jared Vogel to be your 00:52:31.960 --> 00:52:35.780 new spokesperson. Oh, like Subway did? Yeah. 00:52:36.829 --> 00:52:38.469 There's no allegedly there. There's no alleged 00:52:38.469 --> 00:52:40.929 there. He is a pedophile. He's a pervert and 00:52:40.929 --> 00:52:42.909 he's a jerk. He was in prison because of it. 00:52:42.929 --> 00:52:45.030 Yes. And getting his face smacked in every day 00:52:45.030 --> 00:52:46.949 by some guy that had his little wiener touched 00:52:46.949 --> 00:52:49.250 or something like that. Don't feel a single bit 00:52:49.250 --> 00:52:51.889 sorry for him either. No, no, no, no, no. As 00:52:51.889 --> 00:52:54.789 a matter of fact, I hope they tripled the smackings. 00:52:56.989 --> 00:52:58.909 That'd be great. Like every day they just smack 00:52:58.909 --> 00:53:03.300 him like 30 times. Yeah, yeah. He may like the 00:53:03.300 --> 00:53:05.219 first three, but then after you draw blood, he 00:53:05.219 --> 00:53:07.340 doesn't. He's like, that's enough. He's like, 00:53:07.420 --> 00:53:09.519 no, no, you don't get to dictate that. I do. 00:53:10.219 --> 00:53:12.400 Because I'm much larger than you and I can do 00:53:12.400 --> 00:53:16.300 what I want. And I'm not an underage kid. Anyhow. 00:53:16.420 --> 00:53:17.840 I think it would be interesting. I'm going to 00:53:17.840 --> 00:53:21.619 try to remember to do this. Look up how the Cleveland 00:53:21.619 --> 00:53:24.500 Browns organization has done since they were 00:53:24.500 --> 00:53:28.059 reformed. Because the Cleveland Browns ceased 00:53:28.059 --> 00:53:30.659 to exist for a while because they moved to Baltimore 00:53:30.659 --> 00:53:33.730 and became the Ravens. but they left the names 00:53:33.730 --> 00:53:37.769 and the stats behind in Cleveland. There was 00:53:37.769 --> 00:53:39.989 a point this past year where somebody was trying 00:53:39.989 --> 00:53:42.670 to talk about records in Cleveland, and they 00:53:42.670 --> 00:53:45.389 were completely ignoring the previous version 00:53:45.389 --> 00:53:47.269 of the Cleveland Browns and pretending as if 00:53:47.269 --> 00:53:49.090 this version had only been around since, what, 00:53:49.110 --> 00:53:52.889 96? I think it was about 96. Yeah, that sounds 00:53:52.889 --> 00:53:56.909 about right, yeah. But, I mean, I'm going to 00:53:56.909 --> 00:54:00.090 try to find out how they've done since they were 00:54:00.090 --> 00:54:03.320 reformed. re -entered the league. I think they've 00:54:03.320 --> 00:54:05.880 been pretty crappy for the most part. There's 00:54:05.880 --> 00:54:07.960 been like one or two high points here and there, 00:54:08.039 --> 00:54:10.820 but overall, they've been a badly run organization. 00:54:11.300 --> 00:54:13.679 Yeah, there is nothing redeeming about that. 00:54:13.880 --> 00:54:17.380 Yeah. I think they picked the wrong ownership 00:54:17.380 --> 00:54:20.380 group, the NFL did, when they were reconstituting 00:54:20.380 --> 00:54:25.159 the Browns. I think so, too. And, yeah, so, yeah, 00:54:25.239 --> 00:54:28.519 they stepped on their dicks every chance they 00:54:28.519 --> 00:54:30.940 got. And they're going to be horrible for... 00:54:31.280 --> 00:54:34.219 The foreseeable future. Yeah, yeah. That new 00:54:34.219 --> 00:54:37.659 stadium is going to be great, but when you're 00:54:37.659 --> 00:54:40.699 going to be crappy every year and miss the playoffs. 00:54:41.599 --> 00:54:44.300 Playoffs? Playoffs. And nobody's talking about 00:54:44.300 --> 00:54:45.960 you nationally because you just don't matter. 00:54:46.340 --> 00:54:48.420 The new stadium is not going to be all that great. 00:54:50.519 --> 00:54:53.440 It's going to take a real commitment to doing 00:54:53.440 --> 00:54:56.639 the hard work. I just don't see that happening 00:54:56.639 --> 00:55:00.710 with the current ownership in Cleveland. I don't 00:55:00.710 --> 00:55:03.889 either. All right, go ahead. Now we have the 00:55:03.889 --> 00:55:07.829 Las Vegas Raiders. On the plus side, they seem 00:55:07.829 --> 00:55:10.230 to have this uncanny ability to take whatever 00:55:10.230 --> 00:55:13.070 players they get and mold them into a Raiders 00:55:13.070 --> 00:55:16.449 team. I know. No matter who they get, they look 00:55:16.449 --> 00:55:18.829 like the Raiders and they act like the Raiders. 00:55:18.849 --> 00:55:20.090 It's pretty amazing. Have you heard anything 00:55:20.090 --> 00:55:22.769 about Max Crosby again or not? He was disgruntled 00:55:22.769 --> 00:55:25.030 and wanted to leave. Yeah, but then in that last 00:55:25.030 --> 00:55:27.269 game of the season, he was on the sidelines being 00:55:27.269 --> 00:55:30.440 everybody's friend. So I think he's decided that 00:55:30.440 --> 00:55:32.500 he better play along. Yeah, I think he's playing 00:55:32.500 --> 00:55:34.619 along, but I think he's actually probably talking 00:55:34.619 --> 00:55:36.559 behind the scenes going, hey, guys, I want to 00:55:36.559 --> 00:55:38.960 win a Super Bowl sometime. Can you please release 00:55:38.960 --> 00:55:43.900 me? And there was, I mean, when they shut him 00:55:43.900 --> 00:55:47.880 down for the last game, initially the report 00:55:47.880 --> 00:55:50.039 was unofficially that they were trying to protect 00:55:50.039 --> 00:55:53.539 his trade value. That's what I read, but I don't 00:55:53.539 --> 00:55:56.159 know if that was true. And then now the word's 00:55:56.159 --> 00:55:58.599 coming out is the Raiders were. intentionally 00:55:58.599 --> 00:56:00.460 tanking their season so they could get the number 00:56:00.460 --> 00:56:01.860 one overall pick. Yeah, they're going to get 00:56:01.860 --> 00:56:04.739 Mendoza, which I think is a fantastic pick after 00:56:04.739 --> 00:56:07.280 watching him. Yeah, there was somebody on one 00:56:07.280 --> 00:56:09.940 of the shows this morning, and they posed the 00:56:09.940 --> 00:56:11.559 question, should the Raiders trade their number 00:56:11.559 --> 00:56:13.980 one pick to get more picks and more players? 00:56:14.059 --> 00:56:17.139 And the guy was like, no, you need a quarterback, 00:56:17.340 --> 00:56:20.429 especially in that division. Perfect opportunity 00:56:20.429 --> 00:56:23.929 to take Mendoza, an amazing talent. He's just 00:56:23.929 --> 00:56:26.170 the kind of guy that Brady likes. He's a team 00:56:26.170 --> 00:56:28.250 player. Yeah, and he was there watching the game. 00:56:28.369 --> 00:56:31.050 Tom Brady was on the sideline watching the game. 00:56:31.210 --> 00:56:33.630 But the guy was just, he was saying, no, if they 00:56:33.630 --> 00:56:36.429 trade out of that pick, then write off the Raiders 00:56:36.429 --> 00:56:38.670 forever because they just don't want to win. 00:56:38.849 --> 00:56:40.809 So, yeah, they're going to use that pick, and 00:56:40.809 --> 00:56:42.710 they're going to take Mendoza, and that's got 00:56:42.710 --> 00:56:44.489 to be the way they do it. And that bodes well 00:56:44.489 --> 00:56:47.429 for us because for some reason they figured out, 00:56:48.159 --> 00:56:51.000 I forgot who it was. One of the services said 00:56:51.000 --> 00:56:53.880 that the Chiefs have a better chance of getting 00:56:53.880 --> 00:56:56.860 the number one guy they want, as in like an edge 00:56:56.860 --> 00:56:59.619 rusher or an offensive lineman, because it looks 00:56:59.619 --> 00:57:02.519 like the draft is going more quarterback eccentric 00:57:02.519 --> 00:57:05.659 suddenly. We don't need one. Yeah, we don't need 00:57:05.659 --> 00:57:09.320 one. And now they're projecting maybe three quarterbacks 00:57:09.320 --> 00:57:11.500 in front of us, which would lead us more leeway 00:57:11.500 --> 00:57:14.440 to get who we want. Yeah, yeah. The first draft 00:57:14.440 --> 00:57:17.599 prediction I saw was, Mel Kuyper, the loser. 00:57:18.539 --> 00:57:21.039 And he was showing the Chiefs drafting a running 00:57:21.039 --> 00:57:26.619 back, Jeremiah Love. Mel Kuyper? Yeah. Drafting 00:57:26.619 --> 00:57:28.880 a quarterback with the number nine pick in the 00:57:28.880 --> 00:57:30.780 first round. I mean a running back with the number 00:57:30.780 --> 00:57:32.599 nine pick in the first round. That was maybe 00:57:32.599 --> 00:57:36.420 20 years ago. Not now. No, you don't draft running 00:57:36.420 --> 00:57:39.840 backs in the first round. Mel Kuyper is an idiot 00:57:39.840 --> 00:57:42.619 in my opinion. I've never liked him. Never thought 00:57:42.619 --> 00:57:44.420 he knew a damn thing. I'm pretty certain about 00:57:44.420 --> 00:57:48.380 it even more now. Yeah. How does he get a paycheck? 00:57:48.800 --> 00:57:51.820 I think he must just give really good head. He 00:57:51.820 --> 00:57:55.820 must. Allegedly and all that. Because the guy, 00:57:55.900 --> 00:57:58.260 to me, doesn't seem like he knows a fucking thing. 00:57:58.679 --> 00:58:01.820 Nobody in the business respects him or his opinion. 00:58:02.480 --> 00:58:04.900 I think he's just something the fans expect. 00:58:05.199 --> 00:58:08.239 Oh, Bill Kuyper, yeah. It's for the people who 00:58:08.239 --> 00:58:11.000 don't realize what a moron he is. Did he get 00:58:11.000 --> 00:58:12.920 an inheritance to where he doesn't have to earn 00:58:12.920 --> 00:58:15.409 money? Apparently. Yeah, because I don't know 00:58:15.409 --> 00:58:17.750 anyone that will pay for his fucking predictions. 00:58:17.929 --> 00:58:24.809 No. Yeah, no. Yeah. But on the minus side with 00:58:24.809 --> 00:58:27.389 the Raiders, no job security for their head coaches. 00:58:28.210 --> 00:58:31.090 None whatsoever. And there shouldn't be. No. 00:58:31.210 --> 00:58:34.750 No, no, no. And as I said before, I think NFL 00:58:34.750 --> 00:58:37.130 teams are starting to learn that. It's like, 00:58:37.230 --> 00:58:39.949 we'll get this coach and we'll give him two years, 00:58:40.090 --> 00:58:42.510 maybe three if he's showing improvement after 00:58:42.510 --> 00:58:45.000 that. Uh -uh. We're done. Moving on. We're not 00:58:45.000 --> 00:58:48.440 wasting half of a decade trying to see whether 00:58:48.440 --> 00:58:50.440 this guy is going to work out while our players 00:58:50.440 --> 00:58:52.119 keep getting older and older. Well, it's not 00:58:52.119 --> 00:58:54.880 like college where you recruit people and groom 00:58:54.880 --> 00:58:57.880 them and watch them grow. Yeah. This is like 00:58:57.880 --> 00:59:00.659 a play right now. Look, we're getting this guy. 00:59:00.760 --> 00:59:02.820 Like Andy Reid. Yeah. As soon as we got Andy 00:59:02.820 --> 00:59:05.079 Reid, he told them who he was wanting them to 00:59:05.079 --> 00:59:07.239 get. And they're like, okay, go out and get these 00:59:07.239 --> 00:59:09.900 guys. Yeah. And they got them. Of course, you 00:59:09.900 --> 00:59:11.900 know, like they had the Jeremy Macklins and stuff 00:59:11.900 --> 00:59:13.980 like that. They didn't have, like, who was a 00:59:13.980 --> 00:59:16.840 nice receiver, but they couldn't get the upper 00:59:16.840 --> 00:59:19.719 echelon ones until later. They had to draft a 00:59:19.719 --> 00:59:21.920 couple, which they did very well. Yeah. But they 00:59:21.920 --> 00:59:23.619 had to kind of earn their way up there, which 00:59:23.619 --> 00:59:28.219 they did by winning. Yeah. So, and then the higher 00:59:28.219 --> 00:59:30.659 names started looking at us. But until then, 00:59:30.739 --> 00:59:32.699 and not until we became a Super Bowl threat. 00:59:33.000 --> 00:59:36.119 Yes. Did we have the real ones coming after us 00:59:36.119 --> 00:59:40.130 going, hey, guys, I'm ready. Come get me. They've 00:59:40.130 --> 00:59:42.329 got to go through all that first. They've got 00:59:42.329 --> 00:59:47.349 to get through the first test. They're not going 00:59:47.349 --> 00:59:50.389 to be able to get a high unless they pay something 00:59:50.389 --> 00:59:55.889 crazy. They're not going to get that guy. I saw 00:59:55.889 --> 00:59:59.730 an interesting thing this morning. In conference 00:59:59.730 --> 01:00:03.369 championship games, what is the most frequent 01:00:03.369 --> 01:00:05.909 pairing to happen in conference championship 01:00:05.909 --> 01:00:08.409 games? Which two teams have been there? playing 01:00:08.409 --> 01:00:13.630 each other the most? Conference champions? Alabama 01:00:13.630 --> 01:00:20.610 and Georgia. No, I'm talking NFL. Oh, NFL. Oh, 01:00:20.710 --> 01:00:22.750 okay. I'm sorry, we're talking college. Yeah, 01:00:22.750 --> 01:00:24.769 since the conference championship games are coming 01:00:24.769 --> 01:00:28.809 up. Okay, and this is just like the championship 01:00:28.809 --> 01:00:32.829 game, like AFC -NFC? Yeah. What two teams have 01:00:32.829 --> 01:00:36.190 faced each other the most times in the conference 01:00:36.190 --> 01:00:42.900 championship game? Steelers -Cowboys. It has 01:00:42.900 --> 01:00:45.440 to be the same conference. You're talking Super 01:00:45.440 --> 01:00:52.340 Bowl. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, shit. Okay. That makes 01:00:52.340 --> 01:00:54.420 it harder. Hang on. What do you think here? Okay. 01:00:55.619 --> 01:00:59.039 I didn't get it either. I'll give you a hint. 01:00:59.099 --> 01:01:05.480 It's NFC. Okay. I'm going to say Philadelphia 01:01:05.480 --> 01:01:11.599 -Cowboys. Close. It's 49ers -Cowboys. Ah, shit. 01:01:11.739 --> 01:01:13.519 I didn't even think of the 49ers. That's the 01:01:13.519 --> 01:01:15.420 one I should have said. But they've played each 01:01:15.420 --> 01:01:18.639 other six times in the NFC Championship. Okay. 01:01:18.679 --> 01:01:22.460 The next closest pairing has only three times. 01:01:22.619 --> 01:01:25.039 There are several pairs of teams that have seen 01:01:25.039 --> 01:01:27.659 each other three times in the AFC or NFC Championship. 01:01:27.960 --> 01:01:29.360 Was one of the Chiefs and Bills? They didn't 01:01:29.360 --> 01:01:32.619 say who they were. Okay, one of them now I think 01:01:32.619 --> 01:01:34.900 is team champion, and then the rest will playoff 01:01:34.900 --> 01:01:37.659 game. Playoff. Playoff. Okay. All right. That's 01:01:37.659 --> 01:01:39.480 a good question. Yeah, I thought it was pretty 01:01:39.480 --> 01:01:43.239 cool. Coaching carousel. Last one we have up 01:01:43.239 --> 01:01:46.500 is Pittsburgh. On the plus side, it's a very 01:01:46.500 --> 01:01:49.159 well -run and successful organization. That's 01:01:49.159 --> 01:01:51.239 a preferred job. They ought to get somebody good. 01:01:51.400 --> 01:01:54.119 Yeah. The only downside right now really is quarterback 01:01:54.119 --> 01:01:56.219 uncertainty because Aaron Rodgers probably ain't 01:01:56.219 --> 01:01:59.630 coming back, and they really don't have a – A 01:01:59.630 --> 01:02:02.050 clear starter after that. Mike Tomlin's stepping 01:02:02.050 --> 01:02:03.769 down. He's definitely not going to want to come 01:02:03.769 --> 01:02:06.389 back. Yeah. And there's really, as of right now, 01:02:06.530 --> 01:02:11.769 maybe Indianapolis. Yeah. Yeah. There's not really 01:02:11.769 --> 01:02:15.650 a good fit for him, which I could see. The Steelers 01:02:15.650 --> 01:02:18.650 were actually the only fit last year. Yeah. And 01:02:18.650 --> 01:02:20.730 that was about it because they had Justin Fields 01:02:20.730 --> 01:02:23.880 and who was the other guy. Oh, Wilson. Wilson, 01:02:23.980 --> 01:02:25.760 yeah. And neither one of them could do anything, 01:02:25.860 --> 01:02:29.500 so they needed somebody. And I think Tomlin probably 01:02:29.500 --> 01:02:31.719 already had an idea that he might step down after 01:02:31.719 --> 01:02:34.400 the season. So he was wanting one last hurrah, 01:02:34.599 --> 01:02:40.840 and that was it. And right now the people who 01:02:40.840 --> 01:02:44.119 supposedly know are predicting that Tomlin's 01:02:44.119 --> 01:02:46.159 going to sit out the next year. He's not going 01:02:46.159 --> 01:02:48.179 to jump back into coaching this season. He's 01:02:48.179 --> 01:02:50.400 going to get a good job. Yeah. He's just waiting. 01:02:50.440 --> 01:02:52.869 He's probably waiting for that team. He's got 01:02:52.869 --> 01:02:54.710 an eye on a couple of them. He's like, okay, 01:02:54.789 --> 01:02:58.570 whichever comes available first, I'm going to 01:02:58.570 --> 01:03:01.449 throw my hat in. Do you think Tomlin would go 01:03:01.449 --> 01:03:04.789 back to college, coaching college? I could see 01:03:04.789 --> 01:03:06.929 him doing that, yeah. I could. Yeah, I think 01:03:06.929 --> 01:03:09.889 he's got the temperament for guiding and molding 01:03:09.889 --> 01:03:13.869 young men. That would work out really well in 01:03:13.869 --> 01:03:17.210 college. But there again, you're dealing with 01:03:17.210 --> 01:03:20.630 a lot more immaturity in college. Yeah. So there's 01:03:20.630 --> 01:03:22.550 pluses and minuses. Yeah, I don't know. It just 01:03:22.550 --> 01:03:24.750 depends on how he feels about it. I mean, you 01:03:24.750 --> 01:03:26.650 know, some of them go back to just kind of be 01:03:26.650 --> 01:03:29.309 fulfilled. Like, you know, the NFL's great and 01:03:29.309 --> 01:03:31.050 everything, but I want to just go help children 01:03:31.050 --> 01:03:32.929 and try to, you know, kids and help their way 01:03:32.929 --> 01:03:35.030 up and show them the right way and all that. 01:03:35.590 --> 01:03:38.389 There's got to be a really high sleaze factor 01:03:38.389 --> 01:03:41.150 when you're that deeply involved in the NFL on 01:03:41.150 --> 01:03:43.449 a daily basis, and it must be really refreshing 01:03:43.449 --> 01:03:46.250 to get away from it, the constant hustle for 01:03:46.250 --> 01:03:50.260 money and fame and influence. It must get really 01:03:50.260 --> 01:03:52.119 tiring after a while and you're ready to step 01:03:52.119 --> 01:03:54.039 back and say, you know what, I want to go somewhere 01:03:54.039 --> 01:03:59.460 and fish and watch cows grazing and maybe catch 01:03:59.460 --> 01:04:04.019 a nice rainstorm. I don't want to deal with angry, 01:04:04.400 --> 01:04:10.280 steroided -up men who blew their last paycheck 01:04:10.280 --> 01:04:16.780 and won a championship. It must get old. Honestly, 01:04:16.900 --> 01:04:18.940 I've already mentioned Seattle's running back, 01:04:18.980 --> 01:04:21.199 Zach Charbonnet, is out with a torn ACL, but 01:04:21.199 --> 01:04:24.420 I think they can work around him. You want to 01:04:24.420 --> 01:04:26.840 hear some player reactions to McDermott getting 01:04:26.840 --> 01:04:30.460 fired? Yes. Oddly enough, these are all from 01:04:30.460 --> 01:04:33.460 defensive players. No offensive players weighed 01:04:33.460 --> 01:04:36.679 in. Wow, when he's an offensive guy, that's interesting. 01:04:36.699 --> 01:04:40.380 It is. Okay. Defensive tackle Jordan Phillips 01:04:40.380 --> 01:04:44.480 said, This shit here is so stupid, honestly sickening. 01:04:44.670 --> 01:04:47.550 The best coach I've ever been around. I believe 01:04:47.550 --> 01:04:52.349 it. Defensive end, Shaq Lawson. Damn shit don't 01:04:52.349 --> 01:04:55.570 make sense. He changed the whole culture, which 01:04:55.570 --> 01:04:58.030 he kind of did. He really kind of turned that 01:04:58.030 --> 01:05:01.550 team around into believing they could win. Safety, 01:05:01.909 --> 01:05:04.170 DeMar Hamlin. Remember him, number three, whose 01:05:04.170 --> 01:05:07.510 heart stopped on the beat? Yeah, yeah. His post 01:05:07.510 --> 01:05:11.150 was, thank you for everything. We love you, coach. 01:05:12.469 --> 01:05:14.449 Pretty simple. Yeah, you know what, but that 01:05:14.449 --> 01:05:18.110 was a nice one. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And then defensive 01:05:18.110 --> 01:05:21.250 tackle Daquan Jones, don't make no sense, but 01:05:21.250 --> 01:05:24.489 you got what you wanted. I think he's telling 01:05:24.489 --> 01:05:26.949 fans, hey, this is what you wanted. You wanted 01:05:26.949 --> 01:05:28.309 him fired if he couldn't do it. Oh, I love that. 01:05:28.309 --> 01:05:30.309 That's the best. That's the best answer I've 01:05:30.309 --> 01:05:31.829 ever heard. Yeah, yeah, careful what you wish 01:05:31.829 --> 01:05:34.989 for kind of thing. You got it. So I think good 01:05:34.989 --> 01:05:37.550 old Daquan Jones really had the best quote there. 01:05:38.050 --> 01:05:43.090 I love that, yeah. Yeah. And then on the next 01:05:43.090 --> 01:05:45.269 page... Their follow -up, who they hire, is going 01:05:45.269 --> 01:05:48.550 to be so important right now. Yeah. And I think 01:05:48.550 --> 01:05:52.550 Bill's owner, Terry Pegula, had the best quote 01:05:52.550 --> 01:05:56.190 of all when he said, Sean has done an admiral 01:05:56.190 --> 01:06:00.670 job. Admiral job? An admiral. I think he meant 01:06:00.670 --> 01:06:04.510 to say admirable, but an admiral is a guy who's 01:06:04.510 --> 01:06:07.349 high -ranking in Navy. So it's like a captain, 01:06:07.570 --> 01:06:13.369 an admiral, a bosun. So this is how stupid the 01:06:13.369 --> 01:06:16.250 bill's owner is. He comes out with admiral and 01:06:16.250 --> 01:06:19.030 doesn't even realize he said the totally wrong 01:06:19.030 --> 01:06:23.469 one. I had no idea you said that, but that's 01:06:23.469 --> 01:06:25.829 funny. And he went on to say, we need new structure 01:06:25.829 --> 01:06:27.869 and leadership. Well, why don't you fire yourself? 01:06:27.869 --> 01:06:31.190 Starting it with him. So I guess he wants someone 01:06:31.190 --> 01:06:33.929 else to come in and do an admiral job or maybe 01:06:33.929 --> 01:06:37.469 a four -star general job or maybe a staff sergeant 01:06:37.469 --> 01:06:43.800 job. Similar military term. What a clown. That 01:06:43.800 --> 01:06:49.619 guy's a fucking clown. What a clown. Boy, he 01:06:49.619 --> 01:06:51.519 could not have stepped on his fucking dick more. 01:06:51.679 --> 01:06:54.579 Yep. Oh, well. So, Bills fan, I'm sorry, but 01:06:54.579 --> 01:06:58.320 that's your stupid owner. I got a little something 01:06:58.320 --> 01:07:03.460 here. Matt Ryan has left his analyst job to go 01:07:03.460 --> 01:07:06.639 in favor of being hired as president of Atlanta 01:07:06.639 --> 01:07:10.019 football. I can see him fitting in there. Yep, 01:07:10.079 --> 01:07:14.320 and they hired Kevin Stefanski, so I'm thinking 01:07:14.320 --> 01:07:17.840 he might have been behind that. Yeah. Yeah, he 01:07:17.840 --> 01:07:21.280 let his analyst job go, which he did very well 01:07:21.280 --> 01:07:23.559 at. He was good, except for his unusually long 01:07:23.559 --> 01:07:28.579 neck. He did a really good job. Okay, so what 01:07:28.579 --> 01:07:31.199 should be done about the former Pro Bowl? Now 01:07:31.199 --> 01:07:35.690 it's that NFC -AFC flag football challenge. I 01:07:35.690 --> 01:07:37.489 mean, they need to call it up to lather each 01:07:37.489 --> 01:07:39.610 other's back and slap their little bottoms game 01:07:39.610 --> 01:07:44.210 or something like that. Yeah, yeah. I think at 01:07:44.210 --> 01:07:47.070 this point, call it the Pro Bowl, but don't even 01:07:47.070 --> 01:07:50.349 pretend like you're playing a real game. It's 01:07:50.349 --> 01:07:56.889 like the All -Pro team. You get named to the 01:07:56.889 --> 01:07:58.550 team, but it's not like you ever get together 01:07:58.550 --> 01:08:00.530 and do anything. You're just named to the team. 01:08:00.849 --> 01:08:04.309 Do the Pro Bowl the same way. Here are the people 01:08:04.309 --> 01:08:06.369 named to the Pro Bowl, but they're not actually 01:08:06.369 --> 01:08:09.670 getting to play anything. Instead, have your 01:08:09.670 --> 01:08:14.590 passing competitions and your flag football and 01:08:14.590 --> 01:08:17.170 whatever, but just don't pretend that it has 01:08:17.170 --> 01:08:19.310 anything to do with the Pro Bowl voting. That's 01:08:19.310 --> 01:08:22.989 my problem too. If you want it to be a show and 01:08:22.989 --> 01:08:26.670 tell, great. That's fine. Have people sign autographs, 01:08:26.670 --> 01:08:29.369 have kids come up there, all that. But don't 01:08:29.369 --> 01:08:33.939 try to act like it's this big challenge. But 01:08:33.939 --> 01:08:36.060 there's so much more that's happening in the 01:08:36.060 --> 01:08:38.579 league that shows that they're trying to dumb 01:08:38.579 --> 01:08:41.640 things down. Oh, they have. There's the Nickelodeon 01:08:41.640 --> 01:08:44.500 slime time. Have you seen that? Yes, that pisses 01:08:44.500 --> 01:08:46.880 me off. They'll take a regular football game 01:08:46.880 --> 01:08:51.100 and then edit out all the slow parts, and then 01:08:51.100 --> 01:08:54.899 they'll superimpose cartoony slime and funny 01:08:54.899 --> 01:08:59.239 hats and other goofy things onto what's basically 01:08:59.239 --> 01:09:03.310 an extended highlight reel. And initially it's 01:09:03.310 --> 01:09:05.489 like, oh, well, this is for kids. No, a lot of 01:09:05.489 --> 01:09:07.869 adults watch this because they think on a comic 01:09:07.869 --> 01:09:11.329 book level. They're dumbing it down for the idiots 01:09:11.329 --> 01:09:13.550 because they know they'll get online and gamble 01:09:13.550 --> 01:09:16.890 and lose badly. That's what they want. They've 01:09:16.890 --> 01:09:21.329 got another thing they did this year before last 01:09:21.329 --> 01:09:24.729 because it was in the Netflix show Quarterback. 01:09:24.989 --> 01:09:29.670 They did a Simpsons version of a Bengals game. 01:09:30.639 --> 01:09:33.939 And they even had a Simpsons version of Joe Burrow 01:09:33.939 --> 01:09:36.260 that they show. Oh, look, this is what I look 01:09:36.260 --> 01:09:39.380 like as a Simpson. Do you think the NFL signed 01:09:39.380 --> 01:09:41.819 off on that or the people in general signed off 01:09:41.819 --> 01:09:45.520 on it? Not a clue. I don't see Joe Burrow doing 01:09:45.520 --> 01:09:47.500 that. Yeah, yeah, go ahead and cartoon me up. 01:09:47.800 --> 01:09:51.500 But what they did was they took the real game 01:09:51.500 --> 01:09:57.600 that was happening and then they used AI to recreate 01:09:57.600 --> 01:10:01.020 it with... cartoon, kind of like, you know those 01:10:01.020 --> 01:10:03.960 little dolls called Weebles that are heavy on 01:10:03.960 --> 01:10:06.380 the bottom? That's basically what the players 01:10:06.380 --> 01:10:11.319 look like. And Bart Simpson's the quarterback. 01:10:11.680 --> 01:10:13.880 So they showed the play that actually happened, 01:10:14.060 --> 01:10:16.520 which was Burrow dropped back and then threw 01:10:16.520 --> 01:10:18.319 a pass to the corner of the end zone. The guy 01:10:18.319 --> 01:10:20.899 caught it. Amazing catch. And then they showed 01:10:20.899 --> 01:10:24.220 the Simpsons cartoon remake of it, which they 01:10:24.220 --> 01:10:27.800 showed moments later. where instead of a regular 01:10:27.800 --> 01:10:30.619 replay, they showed a cartoon replay where Bart 01:10:30.619 --> 01:10:35.819 Simpson is making the pass. I want nothing to 01:10:35.819 --> 01:10:39.199 do with that. If they're going after the people 01:10:39.199 --> 01:10:41.659 that can't even handle watching actual human 01:10:41.659 --> 01:10:43.600 beings play the game, they just want to see a 01:10:43.600 --> 01:10:46.659 cartoon, then fire all the players and just draw 01:10:46.659 --> 01:10:52.039 a cartoon. It's so stupid. But it's more experimentation. 01:10:52.119 --> 01:10:55.100 It's like, what will this get us? What can we 01:10:55.100 --> 01:10:57.300 exploit or take advantage of? We'll throw out 01:10:57.300 --> 01:11:00.460 cartoons. We'll get the goofy, idiot people who 01:11:00.460 --> 01:11:04.279 just want to giggle at something. The thing that 01:11:04.279 --> 01:11:07.640 the NFL is turning into, in a couple years, I 01:11:07.640 --> 01:11:09.560 don't see me ever wanting to watch it again, 01:11:09.600 --> 01:11:11.680 the way it's going. It's just going to get ugly 01:11:11.680 --> 01:11:15.060 and stupid and childish. And it's going to turn 01:11:15.060 --> 01:11:20.789 into WWE wrestling. That's what it's going to 01:11:20.789 --> 01:11:23.470 be. People dressed up in cartoony outfits. It's 01:11:23.470 --> 01:11:25.449 going to look like that and RuPaul's Drag Race. 01:11:25.550 --> 01:11:28.250 It doesn't mean anything. It's just wild visual 01:11:28.250 --> 01:11:38.369 spectacle. It's just ugly. What do you take about 01:11:38.369 --> 01:11:42.229 Eric Biennemi being hired back? I think that's 01:11:42.229 --> 01:11:45.930 going to be a good thing. I'm looking forward 01:11:45.930 --> 01:11:48.449 to Eric coming in and kicking a lot of players' 01:11:48.649 --> 01:11:51.470 asses and saying, I don't care who you think 01:11:51.470 --> 01:11:54.449 you are when you leave this facility, but when 01:11:54.449 --> 01:11:58.210 you're here, then you're an employee and you 01:11:58.210 --> 01:12:00.069 do what you're told or your ass is going to get 01:12:00.069 --> 01:12:02.909 fired. I want him to kick a lot of asses and 01:12:02.909 --> 01:12:05.350 say, I don't give a shit about your public appearance 01:12:05.350 --> 01:12:08.869 or your podcast or your endorsement. Fuck that. 01:12:08.930 --> 01:12:11.430 You're here to play football and that comes first 01:12:11.430 --> 01:12:14.699 or you're gone. I want to see that. I do too. 01:12:14.720 --> 01:12:16.039 I really, really want to see that. I want to 01:12:16.039 --> 01:12:19.720 see that big time. I agree. If Eric Biennium 01:12:19.720 --> 01:12:23.399 were here when Travis was just, you know, well, 01:12:23.500 --> 01:12:25.819 maybe I'll play this week. Maybe I'll just hang 01:12:25.819 --> 01:12:27.859 out. Yeah. He would have been sitting on the 01:12:27.859 --> 01:12:29.960 sidelines. His ass would have been sitting home 01:12:29.960 --> 01:12:32.140 in street clothes. Yeah. Oh, yeah. You're right. 01:12:32.260 --> 01:12:35.760 Yeah. Yeah. That's what we need. Matt Nagy seems 01:12:35.760 --> 01:12:37.680 to be everybody's best friend chuckling it up 01:12:37.680 --> 01:12:39.760 on the sidelines. No. I don't want that. No. 01:12:39.840 --> 01:12:41.800 I want a guy going, you know what? You did wrong. 01:12:42.250 --> 01:12:44.090 Come here. Let me show you what you fucking did 01:12:44.090 --> 01:12:46.449 wrong. Yeah. Do you want to win another championship? 01:12:47.069 --> 01:12:49.710 You don't have to be a dick about it, but hold 01:12:49.710 --> 01:12:51.710 them accountable. Show them exactly what they 01:12:51.710 --> 01:12:53.729 did wrong. Let them know that you're not going 01:12:53.729 --> 01:12:55.670 to stand it anymore. You're not going to put 01:12:55.670 --> 01:13:00.409 up with it. You need to fix this. Accountability. 01:13:00.449 --> 01:13:03.010 That was the big thing. Accountability, and he 01:13:03.010 --> 01:13:05.329 was not afraid to get in someone's face. He didn't 01:13:05.329 --> 01:13:07.949 care if you liked him or not. Yep. That's the 01:13:07.949 --> 01:13:11.920 kind of guy I want. You know, being one of the 01:13:11.920 --> 01:13:16.420 team leaders. So, yeah. So, all right, we're 01:13:16.420 --> 01:13:18.220 on the same page. We think it's a good thing. 01:13:18.340 --> 01:13:20.000 The only thing I would have seen better was like 01:13:20.000 --> 01:13:22.100 a fresh face like McDermott or somebody. But 01:13:22.100 --> 01:13:24.140 like I said, he's going to get a head coaching 01:13:24.140 --> 01:13:26.439 job. He's not going to mess around with a – Yeah. 01:13:26.720 --> 01:13:28.840 Unless he wants a ring before he does it. Then 01:13:28.840 --> 01:13:32.720 he could maybe, but, you know. Yeah. So, all 01:13:32.720 --> 01:13:35.039 right, you got something else? No, I'm pretty 01:13:35.039 --> 01:13:36.899 well tapped out on football. Okay, let me find 01:13:36.899 --> 01:13:38.819 my bullet points because I have some bullet points 01:13:38.819 --> 01:13:41.720 here. But until then, you can yodel or something. 01:13:41.880 --> 01:13:45.500 I don't care. Yodel -ee -lee. Yodel -ee -lee. 01:13:46.199 --> 01:13:48.199 Well, I'd encourage everyone to stick around 01:13:48.199 --> 01:13:50.159 for the music creeps because I've got some good 01:13:50.159 --> 01:13:53.399 stuff for that. Oh, good. I've got a big list 01:13:53.399 --> 01:13:57.720 about how bands got their name. Oh, good. I like 01:13:57.720 --> 01:14:00.840 that. That's a good subject. And we've got a 01:14:00.840 --> 01:14:09.100 list of older bands. that need to just quit touring 01:14:09.100 --> 01:14:16.340 and go away. And then, let's see, singers, specifically, 01:14:16.500 --> 01:14:19.960 who need to retire before they just die on stage. 01:14:21.960 --> 01:14:25.020 And then this one that was really sad for me 01:14:25.020 --> 01:14:27.800 to have to do, but female singers, who generally 01:14:27.800 --> 01:14:30.720 last longer than the male counterparts, but female 01:14:30.720 --> 01:14:33.260 singers who have really lost it and need to just 01:14:33.260 --> 01:14:37.779 stop and go away. I like that. It's kind of sad, 01:14:37.920 --> 01:14:39.819 but I'm going to say I've got overlooked drummers. 01:14:40.380 --> 01:14:44.100 Okay. And overlooked lead singers. I like that, 01:14:44.159 --> 01:14:46.699 man. I like all those. So we might not get to 01:14:46.699 --> 01:14:49.340 all of that during the music creeps, but check 01:14:49.340 --> 01:14:50.340 out your next episode. Well, I've got a bunch 01:14:50.340 --> 01:14:52.180 of stuff, too, but, you know, other than that, 01:14:52.180 --> 01:14:54.319 we've got other episodes we could do. Yeah. Okay. 01:14:55.579 --> 01:14:57.420 I've got some bullet points. You want to go into 01:14:57.420 --> 01:14:59.420 them? Hey, look, our exercise guy's back. I know. 01:14:59.479 --> 01:15:02.220 He's back over there. Yeah. Oh, I'm very happy 01:15:02.220 --> 01:15:04.800 for him. Very happy for him. So, whatever. You 01:15:04.800 --> 01:15:07.579 think he's exercising the demon that is Mrs. 01:15:07.979 --> 01:15:10.600 Gulpenstein? I think so. I think so. He's trying 01:15:10.600 --> 01:15:13.460 to cast out her spirit. Well, he's a disciple 01:15:13.460 --> 01:15:16.520 of her. She taught him, yeah, the martial arts. 01:15:16.520 --> 01:15:18.619 So he's probably trying to cast out the evil 01:15:18.619 --> 01:15:20.880 spirit that's in that wall she kept yelling at. 01:15:20.939 --> 01:15:23.260 Yeah, he is. That's why she got him. She had 01:15:23.260 --> 01:15:26.920 to go to Poland on some mission. Yeah. While 01:15:26.920 --> 01:15:28.920 she's in there, she's got this guy taking over. 01:15:29.130 --> 01:15:31.489 Yeah, yeah. I think that wall's got the ghost 01:15:31.489 --> 01:15:36.930 of some 17th century industrialist who was murdered 01:15:36.930 --> 01:15:39.609 for stealing from the government. Yeah, I think 01:15:39.609 --> 01:15:42.069 so. I believe that was the full story. They see 01:15:42.069 --> 01:15:44.989 those apparitions, and Ms. Goldstein, you know, 01:15:44.989 --> 01:15:48.029 she could feel stuff like that. So she was warning 01:15:48.029 --> 01:15:52.270 off that she was protecting us. Yeah, yeah. It's 01:15:52.270 --> 01:15:54.470 like when they put up those spirits. totems that 01:15:54.470 --> 01:15:58.130 wore the evil spirits off. She was trying to 01:15:58.130 --> 01:16:00.489 drive the evil spirit out of the city market. 01:16:01.590 --> 01:16:05.649 Nobody understood her. Nope, nope. Misunderstood. 01:16:06.170 --> 01:16:10.369 Alright, and we go on to bullet points. Why are 01:16:10.369 --> 01:16:12.729 the Bills the only fan base that consistently 01:16:12.729 --> 01:16:16.510 cries over penalties now that Cincinnati's not 01:16:16.510 --> 01:16:20.010 in it? Because Cincinnati was the worst. Then 01:16:20.010 --> 01:16:22.350 it was the Bills. Yeah, in fact, that's the first 01:16:22.350 --> 01:16:25.090 thing Sean McDermott did was complain that he 01:16:25.090 --> 01:16:27.310 was getting ripped off by the officials. I know. 01:16:27.409 --> 01:16:30.090 Which told me he already knew that he was going 01:16:30.090 --> 01:16:31.989 to get fired if he lost, and he was just taking 01:16:31.989 --> 01:16:34.529 a shot. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We didn't really 01:16:34.529 --> 01:16:37.869 go into that very much, but yeah. Yeah, those 01:16:37.869 --> 01:16:41.350 are my two theories. One, he knew weeks ago that 01:16:41.350 --> 01:16:44.310 he was going to get fired if he lost any game 01:16:44.310 --> 01:16:48.920 but the Super Bowl. So... He took a shot at the 01:16:48.920 --> 01:16:51.000 officials on his way out the door, figuring I 01:16:51.000 --> 01:16:55.119 got nothing left to lose. Because taking that 01:16:55.119 --> 01:16:58.760 shot at bad play call, if you're expecting continuous 01:16:58.760 --> 01:17:01.920 head coach, that makes you such a whiny little 01:17:01.920 --> 01:17:05.060 creep. Well, I'm surprised I hit it myself. You're 01:17:05.060 --> 01:17:08.420 picking on me. It's not my fault. Yeah, it's 01:17:08.420 --> 01:17:11.340 just bad luck for a head coach. No, I know. You 01:17:11.340 --> 01:17:14.220 understand that the fans do that because they 01:17:14.220 --> 01:17:16.649 have zero power. All they have to do is sit there 01:17:16.649 --> 01:17:18.270 and take what the team dishes out. Of course 01:17:18.270 --> 01:17:20.829 it happens when the referees are on your side. 01:17:21.130 --> 01:17:23.970 Yeah. Well, now I'm starting to see those memes 01:17:23.970 --> 01:17:26.550 that were against the Chiefs about the referees 01:17:26.550 --> 01:17:30.090 holding their MVP and the teams holding up the 01:17:30.090 --> 01:17:32.350 referee and all that. But, you know, they keep 01:17:32.350 --> 01:17:35.270 missing the point. The referees are not in charge. 01:17:35.869 --> 01:17:38.109 They're the ones doing the work, but who's telling 01:17:38.109 --> 01:17:42.369 them to? But Bill's fan and Bengals fan and... 01:17:43.160 --> 01:17:45.880 Chiefs fan and everybody else is blaming the 01:17:45.880 --> 01:17:48.739 officials. They're not making the decisions. 01:17:48.939 --> 01:17:51.159 They're carrying out their orders. You need to 01:17:51.159 --> 01:17:53.939 figure out who's telling them to do this. Blame 01:17:53.939 --> 01:17:58.520 them. Alright, which goes into here. Does the 01:17:58.520 --> 01:18:02.420 Bills Mafia have good reason? I say yes, but 01:18:02.420 --> 01:18:04.859 not for the reason everybody thinks. That call 01:18:04.859 --> 01:18:09.500 was correct from what I read. I think that the 01:18:09.500 --> 01:18:12.119 fact that they refused to have New Yorkers review 01:18:12.119 --> 01:18:15.960 it, was an indictment about how they're going 01:18:15.960 --> 01:18:17.500 to do what they want to do and they don't give 01:18:17.500 --> 01:18:20.739 a shit. They may have known they would have won 01:18:20.739 --> 01:18:22.100 and they probably did. They've been like, we 01:18:22.100 --> 01:18:24.579 know the rule book and this is going to stand. 01:18:25.220 --> 01:18:27.520 But there's a thing where you appease them and 01:18:27.520 --> 01:18:29.699 you go, alright, let's send it to New York. Then 01:18:29.699 --> 01:18:31.199 New York comes back and goes, that's the correct 01:18:31.199 --> 01:18:36.100 call. Okay, it's done. But they have a bitch 01:18:36.100 --> 01:18:39.960 because of that. It's kind of like the right 01:18:39.960 --> 01:18:44.270 to a fair trial. Yeah. And that's what Dara did. 01:18:44.529 --> 01:18:47.029 It was like, we didn't have a fair trial. You 01:18:47.029 --> 01:18:50.250 did not send the replay to New York, so it wasn't 01:18:50.250 --> 01:18:53.390 fair. Yeah. And I'd love to know what reason 01:18:53.390 --> 01:18:56.789 they gave for not letting New York weigh in. 01:18:56.829 --> 01:18:59.310 What was it now? It was really lame. The guy 01:18:59.310 --> 01:19:02.500 goes, well, yeah, I remember now. And the referee, 01:19:02.619 --> 01:19:04.960 he said, I see no reason in holding up the game 01:19:04.960 --> 01:19:07.520 for an obvious call that was right. Oh, yeah, 01:19:07.640 --> 01:19:09.939 I did hear that. Yeah. What bullshit, because 01:19:09.939 --> 01:19:11.680 they'll hold up the game for as long as they 01:19:11.680 --> 01:19:13.600 want. They'll hold up the game for five minutes 01:19:13.600 --> 01:19:15.500 if the commercial break takes that long. That's 01:19:15.500 --> 01:19:19.699 when you see Trey Smith and Patrick Mahomes watching 01:19:19.699 --> 01:19:22.239 some crossing guard get his ass kicked. Yeah. 01:19:22.239 --> 01:19:27.060 Yeah, that's when you see that. Yeah, that's 01:19:27.060 --> 01:19:31.300 such a bullshit reason. Yes, but not for the 01:19:31.300 --> 01:19:34.039 reason they're bitching. They're bitching just 01:19:34.039 --> 01:19:37.640 out of pure disgust of their own team. And I 01:19:37.640 --> 01:19:40.920 get it. I've been that guy too. And I'm not making 01:19:40.920 --> 01:19:42.760 fun of them. I've been in that situation. It 01:19:42.760 --> 01:19:46.920 sucks. But the reason they have a complaint is 01:19:46.920 --> 01:19:50.359 because of that. You appease them. You put on 01:19:50.359 --> 01:19:53.279 a show. And you go, sure, we'll send it. And 01:19:53.279 --> 01:19:55.479 then when it comes back, go, sorry it didn't 01:19:55.479 --> 01:19:58.689 go your way. Yeah, they're not even bothering 01:19:58.689 --> 01:20:01.770 to play that game. They're getting bolder and 01:20:01.770 --> 01:20:05.010 bolder about how obvious they're being that this 01:20:05.010 --> 01:20:07.189 is not fair in open competition. That's what 01:20:07.189 --> 01:20:10.770 I thought too. This right here is an indictment 01:20:10.770 --> 01:20:12.189 of that right there. It's like, no, we're not 01:20:12.189 --> 01:20:13.829 going to send New York. I didn't want to hold 01:20:13.829 --> 01:20:17.390 up the game. Well, if you're really interested 01:20:17.390 --> 01:20:22.470 in actually being fair and going by the rules, 01:20:22.550 --> 01:20:24.649 you'd send it in there just in case there's something 01:20:24.649 --> 01:20:28.359 you missed. Maybe a guy's finger was on the line. 01:20:29.140 --> 01:20:33.720 Maybe the coach that was over there had his foot 01:20:33.720 --> 01:20:35.819 over the line. There's all these things that 01:20:35.819 --> 01:20:39.260 could have happened that nobody really saw. When 01:20:39.260 --> 01:20:42.079 New York looks at it and breaks it down and dissects 01:20:42.079 --> 01:20:44.199 it and slows it down and replays it, they can 01:20:44.199 --> 01:20:49.140 see that. And really, it's a playoff divisional 01:20:49.140 --> 01:20:53.890 round game. It's the perfect time to take your 01:20:53.890 --> 01:20:57.289 time and stop the game and do it right. In that 01:20:57.289 --> 01:21:00.430 situation, I'm not a fan of stopping the games 01:21:00.430 --> 01:21:03.189 all the time either, but in that situation that 01:21:03.189 --> 01:21:07.210 had to be done. And that's to protect the integrity 01:21:07.210 --> 01:21:10.529 of the game. Say, look, we went by protocol and 01:21:10.529 --> 01:21:12.710 this is what happened. But this makes it look 01:21:12.710 --> 01:21:15.270 like this is the result we want. We're not going 01:21:15.270 --> 01:21:17.010 to let anything happen that can overturn it. 01:21:17.050 --> 01:21:23.100 We're just forging on it. Yes. All right, will 01:21:23.100 --> 01:21:26.100 Josh Allen ever make it to the Super Bowl? At 01:21:26.100 --> 01:21:27.960 this point, I'm thinking no. I'm thinking no 01:21:27.960 --> 01:21:29.880 also. I think it's going to be a three-, four 01:21:29.880 --> 01:21:31.819 -year rebuild up there. I don't think you're 01:21:31.819 --> 01:21:33.619 going to get a guy coming in there that's just 01:21:33.619 --> 01:21:36.079 going to take the team and take it to where McDermott 01:21:36.079 --> 01:21:41.600 had it. McDermott is a fine coach, and he did 01:21:41.600 --> 01:21:44.720 a phenomenal job, like the player said, in changing 01:21:44.720 --> 01:21:47.680 the culture and everything that he did. He did 01:21:47.680 --> 01:21:51.579 almost perfectly flawlessly. Yeah. He has integrity. 01:21:51.840 --> 01:21:55.060 Look at the DeMar Hamlin situation. You know, 01:21:55.119 --> 01:21:56.899 they could have said, you know what, no, this 01:21:56.899 --> 01:21:58.720 is a forfeit. But they didn't. They said, listen, 01:21:58.960 --> 01:22:01.939 Cincinnati worked with us, and we're just not 01:22:01.939 --> 01:22:04.680 going to play the game. No win, no loss. That 01:22:04.680 --> 01:22:06.960 right there showed me the integrity that he has. 01:22:07.079 --> 01:22:09.319 He could have gotten by on that and said, no, 01:22:09.359 --> 01:22:12.359 this is bullshit because our season's on the 01:22:12.359 --> 01:22:14.039 line. We don't want to go to Kansas City. They 01:22:14.039 --> 01:22:18.000 have to come here. Yeah. So. Yeah, I remember 01:22:18.000 --> 01:22:20.729 that season that. there was talk about having 01:22:20.729 --> 01:22:24.430 to do some sort of redo or something to give 01:22:24.430 --> 01:22:26.470 the Bills credit for that game so they didn't 01:22:26.470 --> 01:22:29.470 have to come here. And that's another thing that 01:22:29.470 --> 01:22:32.369 really gives a sad taste for the Bills organization 01:22:32.369 --> 01:22:35.489 is they keep whining about what other teams do 01:22:35.489 --> 01:22:38.229 and other things that happen, trying to get all 01:22:38.229 --> 01:22:40.890 the advantages for themselves. Like, go out and 01:22:40.890 --> 01:22:44.090 earn those advantages. Yes. They got the overtime 01:22:44.090 --> 01:22:47.609 rules changed twice. Yep. Because both times 01:22:47.609 --> 01:22:49.649 something happened that knocked them out, so 01:22:49.649 --> 01:22:51.170 they went and got the rule changed for that. 01:22:51.210 --> 01:22:54.529 It hasn't helped. It hasn't helped at all. And 01:22:54.529 --> 01:22:56.689 like you said, it's going to take a while to 01:22:56.689 --> 01:22:58.609 rebuild. There are other teams that are already 01:22:58.609 --> 01:23:02.149 in the process of revamping, rebuilding, and 01:23:02.149 --> 01:23:04.189 are on their way and are getting up to speed, 01:23:04.289 --> 01:23:06.069 and the Bills are sitting on the side of the 01:23:06.069 --> 01:23:07.810 road trying to figure out what to do with this 01:23:07.810 --> 01:23:12.890 busted tire. So it's going to take a while. Hey, 01:23:13.510 --> 01:23:15.170 the way the Bills' mocking has been accurate. 01:23:16.079 --> 01:23:18.720 I don't necessarily care. I was in their corner 01:23:18.720 --> 01:23:21.460 wanting Josh Allen to get one ball in our absence 01:23:21.460 --> 01:23:23.840 because it didn't matter to us. But now it's 01:23:23.840 --> 01:23:25.960 kind of like, I don't know if they deserve it, 01:23:25.979 --> 01:23:28.060 man. They've been real shitty about the way they've 01:23:28.060 --> 01:23:30.720 been doing stuff. And for people that supposedly 01:23:30.720 --> 01:23:34.439 know the game so well, I don't know. And it's 01:23:34.439 --> 01:23:38.739 doubly ironic because 60 % of Bill's mafia that 01:23:38.739 --> 01:23:41.279 goes out to the game and loses their mind, they're 01:23:41.279 --> 01:23:42.800 not going to be able to afford to go to the game 01:23:42.800 --> 01:23:45.000 next year. because they're going to have a $10 01:23:45.000 --> 01:23:48.020 ,000 to $12 ,000 seating license to buy, and 01:23:48.020 --> 01:23:49.479 then the season tickets are going to be higher, 01:23:49.579 --> 01:23:51.579 and everything's going to be higher. A lot of 01:23:51.579 --> 01:23:54.699 hardcore, lifelong Bills mafia are never going 01:23:54.699 --> 01:23:57.340 to be able to afford to go to a game again. So 01:23:57.340 --> 01:23:59.939 the home field atmosphere is going to be vastly 01:23:59.939 --> 01:24:01.699 different in Buffalo. It's going to be worse. 01:24:02.140 --> 01:24:04.199 It's not going to be what it has been because 01:24:04.199 --> 01:24:08.520 actually every NFL team is doing that. Every 01:24:08.520 --> 01:24:10.619 NFL team is doing that. They're trying to pack 01:24:10.619 --> 01:24:13.220 their stadiums with wealthy people. And they 01:24:13.220 --> 01:24:15.619 don't necessarily lose their mind and go crazy 01:24:15.619 --> 01:24:20.600 and dress up and travel. They're wealthy. They're 01:24:20.600 --> 01:24:22.600 used to having what they want, when they want 01:24:22.600 --> 01:24:24.939 it, and spending for it. So you're going to get 01:24:24.939 --> 01:24:27.859 crowds that will be like... polite, both clap 01:24:27.859 --> 01:24:31.220 and don't care. I think when the NFL starts to 01:24:31.220 --> 01:24:33.300 falter from all these things they're doing, they're 01:24:33.300 --> 01:24:35.279 going to crash really hard. Oh, I think so too. 01:24:35.500 --> 01:24:38.640 It's the game manipulation, the gambling, the 01:24:38.640 --> 01:24:41.899 fudging calls, the overpricing of everything, 01:24:42.159 --> 01:24:45.720 monetizing everything. At a certain point, everyone's 01:24:45.720 --> 01:24:48.579 going to decide. It just ain't worth it anymore. 01:24:48.800 --> 01:24:52.000 We need to, number one, identify what a private 01:24:52.000 --> 01:24:56.739 seat license is. That is a way to take your existing 01:24:56.739 --> 01:25:00.359 season ticket holder that can barely afford the 01:25:00.359 --> 01:25:02.319 tickets, has to work overtime longer to have 01:25:02.319 --> 01:25:04.539 the tickets, the one pleasure in life that they 01:25:04.539 --> 01:25:08.500 have. That's how they take it away. Their threshold 01:25:08.500 --> 01:25:12.460 is not paying $5 ,000 for this and then paying 01:25:12.460 --> 01:25:14.819 tickets at an extraordinarily high price after 01:25:14.819 --> 01:25:18.560 that. And they can't legally say, you know, hey, 01:25:18.600 --> 01:25:22.100 we're just going to refuse to sell you tickets 01:25:22.100 --> 01:25:24.279 more. We're just going to kick you off the list 01:25:24.279 --> 01:25:26.140 and take your tickets away. They can't do that. 01:25:26.159 --> 01:25:28.619 Yes. But they can price them out. Yes. Which 01:25:28.619 --> 01:25:30.439 is exactly what they're doing. And this is the 01:25:30.439 --> 01:25:32.739 elaborate way of doing it and acting like, well, 01:25:32.739 --> 01:25:35.090 wait. Yeah, we can't help it if they can't afford 01:25:35.090 --> 01:25:37.770 it. We got our product. We're trying to make 01:25:37.770 --> 01:25:39.729 it as affordable as possible, but this is what 01:25:39.729 --> 01:25:42.109 we have. And they'll complain that, well, we 01:25:42.109 --> 01:25:44.090 have to do this to keep up with all the other 01:25:44.090 --> 01:25:46.189 teams and blah, blah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But the 01:25:46.189 --> 01:25:50.689 realistic part is that probably about at least 01:25:50.689 --> 01:25:53.909 a third, maybe even half of the people that they 01:25:53.909 --> 01:25:56.350 take the season tickets away from and price them 01:25:56.350 --> 01:25:58.750 out, they're just going to give up on the team. 01:25:59.229 --> 01:26:00.810 They're like, well, this ain't my team anymore. 01:26:01.430 --> 01:26:03.789 I don't recognize the stadium. I don't recognize 01:26:03.789 --> 01:26:06.210 the coach. I don't recognize how they're treating 01:26:06.210 --> 01:26:09.149 me. This ain't my team anymore. Yeah. And they're 01:26:09.149 --> 01:26:10.949 just going to quit supporting the Bills because 01:26:10.949 --> 01:26:13.390 you've made it to where they can't afford to. 01:26:13.630 --> 01:26:18.090 Yeah. True. Okay. All right. We're going to get 01:26:18.090 --> 01:26:22.989 a lot of manufactured fans, and on the TV coverage 01:26:22.989 --> 01:26:26.619 you'll see AI -created crowds. Oh, yeah, yeah, 01:26:26.619 --> 01:26:28.159 yeah. On the TV coverage. And also sound. They 01:26:28.159 --> 01:26:29.699 already did the sound. Yeah, they've already 01:26:29.699 --> 01:26:31.720 got the sound. Look at the COVID sound they did. 01:26:31.819 --> 01:26:33.720 Yes. When nobody's in the stadium. It sounded 01:26:33.720 --> 01:26:36.960 like that place is going nuts. Yep, yep. All 01:26:36.960 --> 01:26:39.300 right, so we agree, Josh Allen. We don't think 01:26:39.300 --> 01:26:41.520 it's going to make it to a Super Bowl unless 01:26:41.520 --> 01:26:44.640 it's later on. And maybe with a – well, maybe 01:26:44.640 --> 01:26:46.539 not even with another team because I don't think 01:26:46.539 --> 01:26:49.260 he can catch on with another team and get good 01:26:49.260 --> 01:26:51.859 enough to get to the big game. I can see him 01:26:51.859 --> 01:26:54.000 going to Phillip Rivers when he gets older. And 01:26:54.000 --> 01:26:55.659 so I'm going, hey, you know, Josh Allen retired 01:26:55.659 --> 01:26:58.340 last year, but he's only 40. You think he might 01:26:58.340 --> 01:27:00.239 want to come in and finish the season for us? 01:27:00.260 --> 01:27:03.020 We're on track to be in the playoffs. I could 01:27:03.020 --> 01:27:04.840 see him maybe going there like that, but in the 01:27:04.840 --> 01:27:06.920 existence of where he is right now, no, I don't 01:27:06.920 --> 01:27:09.920 think so. I think Josh Allen has all the skill 01:27:09.920 --> 01:27:12.560 and ability and intelligence to get to the Super 01:27:12.560 --> 01:27:17.119 Bowl, but I don't think that his situation is 01:27:17.119 --> 01:27:20.640 going to hamstring him. That's probably also 01:27:20.640 --> 01:27:23.720 what Josh Allen is thinking is like, I've spent 01:27:23.720 --> 01:27:26.020 nine years here trying. Now we're going to spend 01:27:26.020 --> 01:27:28.539 the next two years rebuilding, and then we can 01:27:28.539 --> 01:27:31.819 try again. Yeah. I'm pretty sure he's having 01:27:31.819 --> 01:27:34.479 a coming -to -God meeting every morning. Yeah. 01:27:35.420 --> 01:27:39.779 We'll see if he requests a trade or not. Yeah. 01:27:40.020 --> 01:27:44.770 So, all right. Elise Burrow. shut down a lot 01:27:44.770 --> 01:27:47.670 of that. He was getting disgruntled. I think 01:27:47.670 --> 01:27:49.090 maybe he looked over there and seen everything 01:27:49.090 --> 01:27:50.909 else going on in the NFL and said, I better keep 01:27:50.909 --> 01:27:54.789 my mouth shut. I got a job and people love me 01:27:54.789 --> 01:27:56.630 here. I'm reverent and they're trying to win. 01:27:56.989 --> 01:27:58.649 I think he might have been like, that's good. 01:27:58.789 --> 01:28:00.409 I'm just going to shut up. I think he figured 01:28:00.409 --> 01:28:02.850 out that he needs to quit doing things that might 01:28:02.850 --> 01:28:06.529 get the head coach fired. Then that's just going 01:28:06.529 --> 01:28:10.590 to make it worse. That probably was part of Joe 01:28:10.590 --> 01:28:13.649 Burrow pulling back a little bit. I don't want 01:28:13.649 --> 01:28:16.329 to get this guy fired because who the hell might 01:28:16.329 --> 01:28:18.430 they bring in next who I can't get along with. 01:28:18.609 --> 01:28:22.270 Yeah, yeah. I'm absolutely sure Joe Burrow doesn't 01:28:22.270 --> 01:28:24.210 want to start over anywhere else. No, I'm pretty 01:28:24.210 --> 01:28:27.300 sure he doesn't either. He's got his lifestyle 01:28:27.300 --> 01:28:29.279 there in Cincinnati, so I'm pretty sure he's 01:28:29.279 --> 01:28:33.000 happy in the gay part of town. No, I'm joking. 01:28:33.239 --> 01:28:36.020 And overall speaking, Cincinnati is a cheaper 01:28:36.020 --> 01:28:39.039 place to live than Philadelphia or Los Angeles 01:28:39.039 --> 01:28:43.960 or Seattle or Miami. And no, he's not gay. And 01:28:43.960 --> 01:28:47.159 if he was, I wouldn't do this shit anyhow. I'm 01:28:47.159 --> 01:28:49.399 just poking a little fun at him. From watching 01:28:49.399 --> 01:28:53.779 season two of the Netflix show Quarterback. Both 01:28:53.779 --> 01:28:55.939 my wife and I are starting to get a gay vibe 01:28:55.939 --> 01:28:58.640 off him. No, that's why I said that, because 01:28:58.640 --> 01:29:00.680 a lot of people are saying that now. They're 01:29:00.680 --> 01:29:04.079 bringing that up online. And like I said, I don't 01:29:04.079 --> 01:29:06.060 give a shit. He's still the same guy either way. 01:29:06.079 --> 01:29:08.100 I don't care. The only thing I give a shit about 01:29:08.100 --> 01:29:12.579 is lying to everyone about it. And that I could 01:29:12.579 --> 01:29:15.579 even get over because he's playing football and 01:29:15.579 --> 01:29:21.189 not tennis. Yeah. You know. There's a stigma. 01:29:21.369 --> 01:29:24.630 Or ice dancing. Yes. And he's a leader. Ice dancing. 01:29:24.649 --> 01:29:28.909 That would be it. Yeah, yeah. Figure skaters, 01:29:28.949 --> 01:29:31.289 though, or something like that. Ballet dancers. 01:29:31.449 --> 01:29:37.609 Ballet dancers, yeah. So, yeah, I think that 01:29:37.609 --> 01:29:40.189 if he is, he's got to hide it because he feels 01:29:40.189 --> 01:29:42.609 like he's in a position of leading people. Yeah. 01:29:42.649 --> 01:29:45.149 And it may sway some people's opinions of him. 01:29:45.170 --> 01:29:46.890 Unfortunately, there aren't people like that. 01:29:47.090 --> 01:29:52.119 Yeah. So, all right. Caleb Williams, overrated 01:29:52.119 --> 01:29:55.960 already? I'd say yeah. Yeah, I'd say so. And 01:29:55.960 --> 01:29:58.100 it's not his fault again. Not his fault. Everyone 01:29:58.100 --> 01:30:01.819 else is doing this, not him. He's very talented. 01:30:01.819 --> 01:30:05.699 He's very smart. He's very athletic. And, again, 01:30:05.880 --> 01:30:09.619 this is not his fault, but the buzz around him 01:30:09.619 --> 01:30:13.000 has been hyped up so much that a lot more is 01:30:13.000 --> 01:30:15.180 expected of him than I think he's capable of 01:30:15.180 --> 01:30:18.840 delivering. Yeah, I think so too. Yeah, I'm noticing 01:30:18.840 --> 01:30:20.979 the sound going back and forth too. Yeah, it's 01:30:20.979 --> 01:30:25.079 weird. But I think for Caleb Williams' sake, 01:30:25.199 --> 01:30:29.359 it would be best if they just accept this is 01:30:29.359 --> 01:30:31.899 who he is and let's work with what he is and 01:30:31.899 --> 01:30:34.300 what he can do. rather than trying to push them 01:30:34.300 --> 01:30:37.020 to be somebody else. I've got something to add 01:30:37.020 --> 01:30:38.840 to that. Have you noticed how many Caleb Williams 01:30:38.840 --> 01:30:42.079 jerseys disappeared suddenly? Yes. How many of 01:30:42.079 --> 01:30:45.239 them appeared suddenly? And just as fast as they 01:30:45.239 --> 01:30:48.340 appeared, they disappeared? Yeah. Yeah. Really 01:30:48.340 --> 01:30:51.239 starting to get the bandwagon smell for this. 01:30:51.939 --> 01:30:54.300 I'm waiting for the Drake May and Bo Nix's. No, 01:30:54.359 --> 01:30:56.479 no, I did see some Bo Nix's. I saw a couple of 01:30:56.479 --> 01:30:59.989 Bo Nix's. Yeah. I saw one Drake May, and that's 01:30:59.989 --> 01:31:01.930 it. And then I saw an old Tom Brady throwback. 01:31:02.170 --> 01:31:05.550 Yeah. All right, so he's overrated. Not his fault, 01:31:05.630 --> 01:31:08.829 like we said. All right. Last year's newcomers, 01:31:08.829 --> 01:31:10.869 like the Commanders, didn't make it back to the 01:31:10.869 --> 01:31:18.130 playoffs. Yeah. So they regressed considerably. 01:31:18.210 --> 01:31:21.850 And even if Jaden Daniels was healthy all season, 01:31:21.930 --> 01:31:23.869 they still would have missed the playoffs. Yeah. 01:31:23.949 --> 01:31:27.560 Playoffs. Playoffs. All right, the FC has some 01:31:27.560 --> 01:31:30.819 newcomers. Who will not see the playoffs next 01:31:30.819 --> 01:31:35.859 year? Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh won't. Well, they 01:31:35.859 --> 01:31:38.199 weren't exactly newcomers, though, but they will 01:31:38.199 --> 01:31:41.579 not. Yeah. I'm going to go out on a limb and 01:31:41.579 --> 01:31:44.619 say the Chargers. Yeah, I can see the Chargers 01:31:44.619 --> 01:31:47.039 missing it next year. I can see the Houston Texans 01:31:47.039 --> 01:31:49.279 missing it next year. I think the Texans may 01:31:49.279 --> 01:31:51.779 actually just shit the bed, and that's it. I 01:31:51.779 --> 01:31:54.479 think you might put a cap in them for now. In 01:31:54.479 --> 01:31:57.340 Jacksonville. In Jacksonville, yeah. I think, 01:31:57.439 --> 01:32:00.340 yeah, I'm getting the feeling that next year's 01:32:00.340 --> 01:32:05.699 AFC crop of postseason teams is going to be very 01:32:05.699 --> 01:32:07.779 different. I think so. I think the Chiefs will 01:32:07.779 --> 01:32:10.819 be back in it. I think the Dolphins will be back 01:32:10.819 --> 01:32:13.560 in it. I think the Broncos are going to be in 01:32:13.560 --> 01:32:16.020 it. And I think the Patriots are probably going 01:32:16.020 --> 01:32:17.659 to hang around because their nucleus is really 01:32:17.659 --> 01:32:20.380 good and Drake May is playing well. Plus, they 01:32:20.380 --> 01:32:22.899 have the X Factor, the coach. Mike Grable is 01:32:22.899 --> 01:32:26.310 a hell of a coach. And I think the Bengals have 01:32:26.310 --> 01:32:28.869 a realistic shot of putting it together next 01:32:28.869 --> 01:32:31.130 year, too. But there are so many things they 01:32:31.130 --> 01:32:33.289 have to do just right, including Joe Burrow not 01:32:33.289 --> 01:32:35.470 getting injured. Yeah. You know, because that's 01:32:35.470 --> 01:32:37.489 what led them down to decline this year. Yeah. 01:32:37.550 --> 01:32:39.470 They were flying high, and then Joe Burrow got 01:32:39.470 --> 01:32:41.029 injured, and then all of a sudden they were not 01:32:41.029 --> 01:32:45.010 flying high. Yeah. I could see Baltimore having 01:32:45.010 --> 01:32:47.590 a playoff drought for a while. Playoffs. Playoffs. 01:32:47.810 --> 01:32:51.920 I could, too. I'm starting to see rumors. I mean, 01:32:51.939 --> 01:32:53.720 it's not like rumors it's going to happen, but 01:32:53.720 --> 01:32:56.279 people are starting to speculate. Don't you think 01:32:56.279 --> 01:32:58.399 it would be a good idea for the Ravens to trade 01:32:58.399 --> 01:33:01.659 Lamar Jackson? Oh, no, the Raiders actually seemed 01:33:01.659 --> 01:33:03.880 interested in him, all the reports were that 01:33:03.880 --> 01:33:05.399 they were asking about. But I don't know now 01:33:05.399 --> 01:33:08.520 with Mendoza. It could be let's get Jackson for 01:33:08.520 --> 01:33:13.189 Mendoza's rookie year. But I don't know that 01:33:13.189 --> 01:33:14.710 Jackson would be willing to go there knowing 01:33:14.710 --> 01:33:16.569 that his replacement's going to be in the house. 01:33:16.569 --> 01:33:18.729 I don't think Jackson would do that, no. I don't 01:33:18.729 --> 01:33:22.270 think so. I wouldn't. Not everybody's an Alex 01:33:22.270 --> 01:33:25.409 Smith where you don't have that ego. And I'm 01:33:25.409 --> 01:33:27.789 not saying he does. I'm just saying I don't know 01:33:27.789 --> 01:33:29.609 if it's going to parlay like that at all. I don't 01:33:29.609 --> 01:33:32.390 know if that's how it's going to shake out. All 01:33:32.390 --> 01:33:35.050 right, well, I think we covered everybody that's 01:33:35.050 --> 01:33:37.329 not going to see it next year. We're relatively 01:33:37.329 --> 01:33:40.229 sure. And the Patriots are going to have a first 01:33:40.229 --> 01:33:44.430 -place schedule, so maybe if they do make it, 01:33:44.470 --> 01:33:45.890 I think they will make it, but it's going to 01:33:45.890 --> 01:33:48.210 be like a seventh seed or something like that. 01:33:48.750 --> 01:33:54.609 In the NFC, I don't think Detroit's going to 01:33:54.609 --> 01:33:56.560 be back. I don't think Philadelphia is going 01:33:56.560 --> 01:33:57.460 to be back either. I don't think Philadelphia 01:33:57.460 --> 01:33:59.800 is going to be back unless they really make some 01:33:59.800 --> 01:34:01.500 changes. They're going to have to make some wholesale 01:34:01.500 --> 01:34:05.340 changes, including possibly Jalen Hurts. Jalen 01:34:05.340 --> 01:34:09.779 Hurts hurt them considerably. The NFC South was 01:34:09.779 --> 01:34:11.760 such a mess. Anybody could come out of that next 01:34:11.760 --> 01:34:20.239 year. Atlanta could. And then the West, I see 01:34:20.239 --> 01:34:22.680 the Rams and the Seahawks and the Niners all 01:34:22.680 --> 01:34:25.260 being strong again next year. Cardinals are always, 01:34:25.640 --> 01:34:29.600 I mean, generally speaking, if you write the 01:34:29.600 --> 01:34:32.100 Cardinals off more times than not, you'll be 01:34:32.100 --> 01:34:34.460 correct, which is very sad to say because I've 01:34:34.460 --> 01:34:36.420 always liked the Cardinals as a team. I do too. 01:34:36.479 --> 01:34:38.720 I give the Commanders a good shot at coming back. 01:34:38.779 --> 01:34:41.539 I think they're good to look at what they have, 01:34:41.699 --> 01:34:44.239 come up with another couple of receivers, a little 01:34:44.239 --> 01:34:46.460 bit more durable and not so apt to get into trouble 01:34:46.460 --> 01:34:49.500 and all that. I think Packers are done for a 01:34:49.500 --> 01:34:53.600 bit. Yeah. I think the Cowboys have a better 01:34:53.600 --> 01:34:55.640 chance of getting into the postseason next year 01:34:55.640 --> 01:34:57.579 than the Packers do. I think you're right. I 01:34:57.579 --> 01:34:59.880 agree. And even though the Cowboys do that every 01:34:59.880 --> 01:35:03.060 year where they look good and they crumble. Part 01:35:03.060 --> 01:35:08.260 of that is you have Dak Prescott. Yeah. And I'm 01:35:08.260 --> 01:35:10.560 sorry, Dak Prescott, as good as he looks is as 01:35:10.560 --> 01:35:14.579 bad as he looks. I mean, he will break off a 01:35:14.579 --> 01:35:17.329 string of – Just looking the best ever. I mean, 01:35:17.350 --> 01:35:20.170 he's third rated in yards this season. I mean, 01:35:20.170 --> 01:35:22.890 he's really a good quarterback, but he's not 01:35:22.890 --> 01:35:25.850 a guy that you're down two scores, there's three 01:35:25.850 --> 01:35:29.010 minutes left, and you've got to get a quick score 01:35:29.010 --> 01:35:31.210 and then follow up after a three and out and 01:35:31.210 --> 01:35:34.250 do another one. He's not that guy. Making a lot 01:35:34.250 --> 01:35:36.689 of fast decisions and making them all correctly 01:35:36.689 --> 01:35:41.310 is pretty rare. And I have yet to see Dak Prescott. 01:35:43.010 --> 01:35:45.090 show that he can do that on any kind of consistent 01:35:45.090 --> 01:35:47.630 basis. He does it every once in a while. He'll 01:35:47.630 --> 01:35:50.270 rip off a string of like, you know, oh, God, 01:35:50.329 --> 01:35:53.270 this guy's on fire. But then it just stops. That's 01:35:53.270 --> 01:35:54.489 when the little Skippy Bayless starts jumping 01:35:54.489 --> 01:35:56.430 on his rucksack, and then after that, all of 01:35:56.430 --> 01:35:59.510 a sudden, he just quietly goes away. So, all 01:35:59.510 --> 01:36:03.869 right. All right. Without Mahomes, who is the 01:36:03.869 --> 01:36:11.939 best quarterback in both leagues? Huh. I don't 01:36:11.939 --> 01:36:14.939 want to say Josh Allen anymore. I mean, he's 01:36:14.939 --> 01:36:18.060 good, but you've got to look at how the team's 01:36:18.060 --> 01:36:20.460 going and lay some of that on him. I'm going 01:36:20.460 --> 01:36:24.260 to say Stafford. Yeah, I think Stafford has pretty 01:36:24.260 --> 01:36:27.800 much got it. Goff turns into the turnover machine 01:36:27.800 --> 01:36:30.979 every once in a while. Goff is not that guy. 01:36:31.199 --> 01:36:35.939 He throws up some stats, but he can't do it for 01:36:35.939 --> 01:36:38.560 you. Jalen Hurts is just so hard to figure out 01:36:38.560 --> 01:36:42.289 anymore. I'm over him. He's looking like a mediocre 01:36:42.289 --> 01:36:44.770 quarterback, and I don't know if it's because 01:36:44.770 --> 01:36:46.430 they're hamstringing him or there's something 01:36:46.430 --> 01:36:49.890 wrong. I don't know what, but he does not look 01:36:49.890 --> 01:36:51.729 like the Jalen Hurts that we're used to. He doesn't 01:36:51.729 --> 01:36:53.970 look confident anymore in the pocket. He does 01:36:53.970 --> 01:36:55.729 not look comfortable. He doesn't look confident. 01:36:57.149 --> 01:37:00.649 Man, how did Philadelphia as a team manage to 01:37:00.649 --> 01:37:04.739 screw up Jalen Hurts? I don't know. Starts with 01:37:04.739 --> 01:37:06.880 that little weasel Sirianni and goes on down. 01:37:07.319 --> 01:37:09.479 Maybe they took him down to somebody's basement 01:37:09.479 --> 01:37:11.840 and made him a made man. That's it right there. 01:37:12.640 --> 01:37:15.640 Yeah, they were going to cap him. You know, Sirianni 01:37:15.640 --> 01:37:18.739 has a wet dream every night about wishing he 01:37:18.739 --> 01:37:23.819 was a good fella. Yeah. Hey, when you go out 01:37:23.819 --> 01:37:26.180 there, what are you going to say about us? Oh, 01:37:26.199 --> 01:37:28.399 you guys are the best. That's right. Take the 01:37:28.399 --> 01:37:39.699 cannolis. Yeah, allegedly. Yeah. So, where's 01:37:39.699 --> 01:37:43.399 my clothes right now? Best quarterback from either 01:37:43.399 --> 01:37:47.300 side we were doing. Oh, that's right. When the 01:37:47.300 --> 01:37:51.939 NFC, I was going to say Brock Purdy, but not 01:37:51.939 --> 01:37:58.560 now. He got dismantled. It's tough to say. It 01:37:58.560 --> 01:38:00.899 really is. It's really hard to tell about Minnesota's 01:38:00.899 --> 01:38:03.579 new quarterback, McCarthy. because he keeps getting 01:38:03.579 --> 01:38:06.000 hurt. Yeah, hang on. Let me take a look here. 01:38:06.079 --> 01:38:08.420 I've got a list of the quarterbacks and their 01:38:08.420 --> 01:38:13.739 yards and percentages. There was some team this 01:38:13.739 --> 01:38:15.880 morning that I heard was looking at Brian Dable, 01:38:16.020 --> 01:38:19.659 the ex -Giants head coach. Was that Miami? I 01:38:19.659 --> 01:38:21.520 think it was Miami was looking at him, but I 01:38:21.520 --> 01:38:23.260 don't know if they're serious or not. That was 01:38:23.260 --> 01:38:25.239 just a little. No, no, it was the Bills. No, 01:38:25.279 --> 01:38:27.159 it was the Bills. Because he was their offensive 01:38:27.159 --> 01:38:29.399 coordinator for three or four years. Yeah, that's 01:38:29.399 --> 01:38:31.619 right. They like him. Yeah. He might get hired. 01:38:31.699 --> 01:38:34.359 We'll see. So, yeah. He might go from New Jersey 01:38:34.359 --> 01:38:38.699 back to real New York team. Yeah, maybe. He's 01:38:38.699 --> 01:38:41.239 just got to move a couple hundred miles. It's 01:38:41.239 --> 01:38:44.039 kind of like going to Columbia or something like 01:38:44.039 --> 01:38:46.840 that. Ganges New Jersey money for American money. 01:38:47.100 --> 01:38:49.159 Yeah, yeah. Well, that's easy to do. They have 01:38:49.159 --> 01:38:51.960 machines now. Yeah. You walk up there with the 01:38:51.960 --> 01:38:55.220 U .S. dollar and they throw you out a dice. Yeah. 01:38:55.260 --> 01:39:00.520 Yeah, that's New Jersey's currency. Speaking 01:39:00.520 --> 01:39:06.640 of Sirianni, and if I could ever find my fucking 01:39:06.640 --> 01:39:10.079 information, okay, you know what, screw it. I'm 01:39:10.079 --> 01:39:22.760 going to say, shit, I don't know. So many quarterbacks 01:39:22.760 --> 01:39:24.539 have had a bad year this past year. Yeah, I know, 01:39:24.680 --> 01:39:26.439 I don't know. It just looked inconsistent or 01:39:26.439 --> 01:39:30.170 downright bad. Yeah. It's tough to say who's 01:39:30.170 --> 01:39:33.189 going to rise back up next year. And even Mahomes 01:39:33.189 --> 01:39:35.989 might have a really crappy first half of the 01:39:35.989 --> 01:39:37.810 season because his knee ain't quite right because 01:39:37.810 --> 01:39:41.369 he rushed himself back. Yeah. I'm going to say, 01:39:41.470 --> 01:39:45.729 okay, most talented overall, level -headed, winning 01:39:45.729 --> 01:39:49.470 a game and everything, Joe Burrow. Yeah. Joe 01:39:49.470 --> 01:39:57.399 Burrow and – I can't say Brock Purdy, though, 01:39:57.439 --> 01:39:59.479 because he has been looking horrible lately when 01:39:59.479 --> 01:40:03.859 you put pressure on him. Who else? You know what? 01:40:03.899 --> 01:40:09.279 Let's just go on. All right. What team do you 01:40:09.279 --> 01:40:11.619 look at to be back in the playoffs next year? 01:40:11.699 --> 01:40:21.079 Playoffs? Broncos. Yeah. I would say Cincinnati. 01:40:21.739 --> 01:40:27.010 Yeah. From the north. In the AFC South, maybe 01:40:27.010 --> 01:40:30.250 Tennessee. I mean, they could get it turned around 01:40:30.250 --> 01:40:33.949 that fast. They could. Who did they hire? Did 01:40:33.949 --> 01:40:35.569 they hire anybody yet? I don't think they did, 01:40:35.630 --> 01:40:40.510 did they? No, no, not yet. Yeah. But I don't 01:40:40.510 --> 01:40:44.010 think Indy or Jacksonville or Houston was really 01:40:44.010 --> 01:40:50.229 all that impressive. In the NFC, I could see 01:40:50.229 --> 01:40:56.939 Washington. and Carolina getting back in, Minnesota 01:40:56.939 --> 01:41:05.760 get back in, and if Baker Mayfield is as angry 01:41:05.760 --> 01:41:07.960 as he says, then he'll get the Buccaneers back 01:41:07.960 --> 01:41:10.699 into the playoffs next season. Playoff, yes. 01:41:12.239 --> 01:41:16.960 All right. Sorry, I was checking to see if they 01:41:16.960 --> 01:41:18.819 sent me the email they're supposed to, but of 01:41:18.819 --> 01:41:22.750 course they did not. Okay. Are the Eagles going 01:41:22.750 --> 01:41:26.630 to bounce back? I don't think so. I don't either. 01:41:26.789 --> 01:41:29.869 I haven't heard of any big moves they've made 01:41:29.869 --> 01:41:33.409 or even talking about making any moves. We'll 01:41:33.409 --> 01:41:35.510 see what happens in free agency, but if they're 01:41:35.510 --> 01:41:39.869 relying strictly on the draft, then they're already 01:41:39.869 --> 01:41:42.149 two feet behind. Everybody else has got to step 01:41:42.149 --> 01:41:44.189 on them. And I also heard about the Chiefs moving 01:41:44.189 --> 01:41:47.699 up. No, they only have six picks. They're not 01:41:47.699 --> 01:41:49.279 moving up. They're not giving up any of those 01:41:49.279 --> 01:41:51.659 picks. If anything, they'll move down if they 01:41:51.659 --> 01:41:53.479 don't find the right guy to get an extra couple. 01:41:53.819 --> 01:41:58.600 Yeah, yeah. Moving up a few spots in the draft 01:41:58.600 --> 01:42:02.359 is a whole different kind of prospect than, say, 01:42:02.359 --> 01:42:05.060 contacting a team and saying, you want Chris 01:42:05.060 --> 01:42:07.140 Jones to give us a fourth and a fifth round pick. 01:42:07.359 --> 01:42:09.779 Yeah. That's a totally different thing. Well, 01:42:09.800 --> 01:42:11.680 I could see that happening very easily. I look 01:42:11.680 --> 01:42:14.300 for them to try to unload Jones. I hope they 01:42:14.300 --> 01:42:16.800 do. Well, you've got to get the guy while he's 01:42:16.800 --> 01:42:18.960 still falling, descending, not when he's all 01:42:18.960 --> 01:42:21.159 the way to the ground. You want to make him look 01:42:21.159 --> 01:42:23.399 somewhat attractive the last three games of his 01:42:23.399 --> 01:42:26.420 career here. I think you could probably get a 01:42:26.420 --> 01:42:28.420 good case like, well, he was a little dinged 01:42:28.420 --> 01:42:31.840 up. I heard some interesting stats about the 01:42:31.840 --> 01:42:35.920 Chiefs. O'Minohue, do you know how many tackles 01:42:35.920 --> 01:42:38.319 he had last season? Oh, shit, not very many. 01:42:38.539 --> 01:42:46.319 28. 28. That's not even two a game. 28. And how 01:42:46.319 --> 01:42:49.020 many snaps did he take? Most of them. Most of 01:42:49.020 --> 01:42:55.180 them? Okay, worthless. Let's see. Remember Jalen 01:42:55.180 --> 01:42:58.560 Royals? Yes. Receiver? Yes. He managed to get 01:42:58.560 --> 01:43:01.420 in on the final game and caught two passes. How 01:43:01.420 --> 01:43:04.060 much? What was it, eight yards? Not too many 01:43:04.060 --> 01:43:06.600 yards. Yeah. So here he was. I think he only 01:43:06.600 --> 01:43:09.600 played. I think he was only active for seven 01:43:09.600 --> 01:43:11.739 games, and he only really got into that last 01:43:11.739 --> 01:43:13.680 one and caught two passes. I'm going to judge 01:43:13.680 --> 01:43:17.260 Royals and Thornton. Thornton has already shown 01:43:17.260 --> 01:43:21.100 flashes and worthy from here on out because I 01:43:21.100 --> 01:43:23.000 think we have a confident wide receivers coach. 01:43:23.140 --> 01:43:27.560 Yeah, yeah. But compare Jalen Royals only making 01:43:27.560 --> 01:43:31.960 two catches to Isaiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt. 01:43:32.100 --> 01:43:34.319 You know how many runs of 20 yards or more they 01:43:34.319 --> 01:43:37.220 had all season? I think one for Hunt and none 01:43:37.220 --> 01:43:40.180 for Pacheco. Between them, they had two. The 01:43:40.180 --> 01:43:42.380 same number of catches that Jalen Royals had. 01:43:43.739 --> 01:43:47.180 That's fucking crazy. Only two rushes of 20 or 01:43:47.180 --> 01:43:51.100 more yards the entire season for those two running 01:43:51.100 --> 01:43:54.720 backs combined. That should never happen. Yeah, 01:43:54.720 --> 01:43:58.800 and see how they snuck that past us? Yeah. They 01:43:58.800 --> 01:44:00.800 snuck it past us and O'Manahue couldn't even 01:44:00.800 --> 01:44:03.409 get two tackles a game. And then they snuck it 01:44:03.409 --> 01:44:05.949 past that the running backs couldn't break off 01:44:05.949 --> 01:44:09.130 a long run to save their lives. Yeah. This is 01:44:09.130 --> 01:44:11.189 part of the partial gutting that we're talking 01:44:11.189 --> 01:44:14.590 about. Yeah. This, everything that's been said, 01:44:14.649 --> 01:44:16.550 like Royals, you're probably going to keep him 01:44:16.550 --> 01:44:18.550 because he's still a rookie and he still has 01:44:18.550 --> 01:44:20.569 upside. Yeah. And you've got a new wide receiver 01:44:20.569 --> 01:44:22.430 coach coming in. And he's on that cheap rookie 01:44:22.430 --> 01:44:26.670 contract. Yeah. No problem. Yep. Yeah. All right. 01:44:28.679 --> 01:44:31.680 Mahomes says he plans on starting the first regular 01:44:31.680 --> 01:44:34.920 season game next season. Will this happen? No. 01:44:35.699 --> 01:44:37.960 I'm saying no. They're not going to let it happen? 01:44:38.180 --> 01:44:41.199 I sincerely hope they don't even let him sniff 01:44:41.199 --> 01:44:45.119 the field during preseason. Yeah. In which case 01:44:45.119 --> 01:44:47.560 he's not ready to come back on opening day. Yeah. 01:44:47.619 --> 01:44:51.720 It's like if Andy Reid puts him in in a preseason 01:44:51.720 --> 01:44:55.159 game, then Andy Reid needs to get fired. because 01:44:55.159 --> 01:44:58.359 that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Put 01:44:58.359 --> 01:45:02.800 him in a game that means nothing and on a knee 01:45:02.800 --> 01:45:06.359 that's barely healed, if healed, and let, no, 01:45:06.579 --> 01:45:10.779 no. Keep him out the whole preseason and let 01:45:10.779 --> 01:45:13.560 him see limited action the first couple three 01:45:13.560 --> 01:45:15.000 weeks. I think you're going to see something 01:45:15.000 --> 01:45:17.220 like a Kirk Cousins or somebody like that coming 01:45:17.220 --> 01:45:20.359 in for the interim. They want to make the season 01:45:20.359 --> 01:45:22.260 next season count. They don't want to throw another 01:45:22.260 --> 01:45:25.590 way on Mahomes' dime. So they're going to have 01:45:25.590 --> 01:45:27.949 to come up with a reasonable solution. That will 01:45:27.949 --> 01:45:31.510 be a veteran that has won in the past that can 01:45:31.510 --> 01:45:34.630 fit into about any type of an offensive program 01:45:34.630 --> 01:45:36.770 and do well, and that would be like a Kirk Cousins. 01:45:37.189 --> 01:45:39.409 So I look for something like that to be done. 01:45:39.529 --> 01:45:41.609 Whether it's Cousins or not specifically, I don't 01:45:41.609 --> 01:45:43.750 know. But I think something like that, they're 01:45:43.750 --> 01:45:46.649 going to slowly introduce Mahomes back into it. 01:45:46.770 --> 01:45:50.829 Yeah, yeah. If they rush him back, I mean, imagine 01:45:50.829 --> 01:45:53.479 the nightmare scenario of they rush. Mahomes 01:45:53.479 --> 01:45:55.720 back, and in the first game of the season, he 01:45:55.720 --> 01:45:59.500 suffers a season -ending knee injury again. Well, 01:45:59.500 --> 01:46:03.220 like on G3. Yeah. At that point, I'd say to Andy 01:46:03.220 --> 01:46:06.760 Reid, if you're not man enough to tell this young 01:46:06.760 --> 01:46:09.079 man, no, you can't play and make him sit on the 01:46:09.079 --> 01:46:11.239 sideline, then yeah, Andy needs to go. Yeah. 01:46:11.359 --> 01:46:14.319 If Andy is such a pushover that he lets that 01:46:14.319 --> 01:46:16.640 happen, then bye, Andy. Well, now he's got the 01:46:16.640 --> 01:46:19.420 enemy. Yeah. So we'll see. Maybe he can make 01:46:19.420 --> 01:46:22.430 the enemy the heavy. Well, I can't tell Patrick 01:46:22.430 --> 01:46:26.189 no. You go tell him no. Yeah, why not? The enemy 01:46:26.189 --> 01:46:30.289 don't care. Yeah. You know, Reed likes to draw 01:46:30.289 --> 01:46:32.210 mustaches on people while they're sleeping, right? 01:46:32.289 --> 01:46:37.229 So how firm can he be? Yeah. All right, or he 01:46:37.229 --> 01:46:39.590 likes to eat your nuggies. Yeah. Yeah, your noogies. 01:46:39.670 --> 01:46:43.329 Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that was disturbing there. 01:46:43.409 --> 01:46:45.989 Don't touch noogies. Yeah, I heard it took them 01:46:45.989 --> 01:46:48.939 a long time to get... Andy Reid, you quit drawing 01:46:48.939 --> 01:46:51.079 penises on people's faces. That's what he was 01:46:51.079 --> 01:46:53.520 trying to do. No, no, draw a mustache. This is 01:46:53.520 --> 01:46:55.220 a commercial. We want you to draw a mustache. 01:46:55.319 --> 01:46:57.899 But he kept ruining the take by drawing a big 01:46:57.899 --> 01:47:01.000 penis on the guy's face. In all fairness, that 01:47:01.000 --> 01:47:05.239 is fun. I came very close to having that done 01:47:05.239 --> 01:47:08.439 to me when I was on the road with Weatherhead. 01:47:08.720 --> 01:47:11.319 We do out -of -town gigs, and we stay overnight 01:47:11.319 --> 01:47:14.380 to do the next night. You didn't want to be the 01:47:14.380 --> 01:47:16.380 first person to fall asleep in the hotel room. 01:47:16.680 --> 01:47:20.119 Because whoever did got decorated. Oh, God, yeah. 01:47:20.119 --> 01:47:23.600 And lots of pictures taken. I don't know where 01:47:23.600 --> 01:47:26.180 the clip went, but when me and Davey used to 01:47:26.180 --> 01:47:29.479 have, Davey's parents used to go away on the 01:47:29.479 --> 01:47:32.479 weekends to the lake. And then they'd be gone 01:47:32.479 --> 01:47:34.460 for a couple weeks at a time, so it was a party 01:47:34.460 --> 01:47:36.880 at Davey's. And during the summertime, you know, 01:47:36.899 --> 01:47:38.439 we weren't in school, so we're all down there 01:47:38.439 --> 01:47:42.180 partying. So we had a thing. We'd get smashed, 01:47:42.340 --> 01:47:45.300 but... All the good sodas were in the back fridge 01:47:45.300 --> 01:47:47.199 in the back room. Nobody knew about that unless 01:47:47.199 --> 01:47:50.260 you've been around there a lot. So the newcomers, 01:47:50.260 --> 01:47:52.880 they would wake up with a hangover, run to the 01:47:52.880 --> 01:47:56.300 fridge. Nobody wanted to make coffee. So they 01:47:56.300 --> 01:47:59.779 see this can of Pepsi or Coke in there. It may 01:47:59.779 --> 01:48:01.800 be open, but they're thirsty and they don't care. 01:48:02.340 --> 01:48:05.060 They swig it, but the problem is it'd been pissed 01:48:05.060 --> 01:48:09.180 off. Yes. And it was so bad. You drink from an 01:48:09.180 --> 01:48:11.939 open can, man. You just got to figure. Oh, yeah. 01:48:12.000 --> 01:48:15.119 You'd hear that scream. And usually I'd sleep 01:48:15.119 --> 01:48:16.760 in the garage to where they couldn't get me. 01:48:16.840 --> 01:48:22.060 And Davey had some place upstairs in a closet, 01:48:22.239 --> 01:48:25.000 a closet like a little partition attic -like 01:48:25.000 --> 01:48:27.539 thing. He would sleep up there in the most weirded, 01:48:27.539 --> 01:48:30.989 contorted position ever. But they would never 01:48:30.989 --> 01:48:32.949 find us. They'd go around and try to kill everyone 01:48:32.949 --> 01:48:35.810 else, but they couldn't find us. And it'd be 01:48:35.810 --> 01:48:37.510 funny because you knew who did it because you'd 01:48:37.510 --> 01:48:40.130 hear their scream. Yeah. And it's like, hey, 01:48:40.310 --> 01:48:43.489 someone drank the piss. Oh, well, I'm tired. 01:48:43.569 --> 01:48:46.250 I think I'm going to go back then. We got a guitar 01:48:46.250 --> 01:48:49.369 player setting up for. Oh, good. Yeah. All right. 01:48:49.409 --> 01:48:52.949 That's going to be awesome. Oh, yeah. Play some 01:48:52.949 --> 01:48:58.279 purple. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, and then 01:48:58.279 --> 01:49:01.100 Joe Burrow has been rather quiet. Is the tension 01:49:01.100 --> 01:49:03.119 between him and the Bengals front office over 01:49:03.119 --> 01:49:06.779 for now? I think for now it's over. I think it 01:49:06.779 --> 01:49:08.699 is too. Yeah, I think enough has happened around 01:49:08.699 --> 01:49:10.619 the league that he realizes, you know what, I 01:49:10.619 --> 01:49:12.199 don't have it so bad here. It could be a whole 01:49:12.199 --> 01:49:13.920 lot worse. I think you're right. I'm just going 01:49:13.920 --> 01:49:16.699 to keep my head down for now. I think he's picking 01:49:16.699 --> 01:49:19.300 his battles a little more wisely. I think he 01:49:19.300 --> 01:49:20.680 should too. I think that's the thing with Joe 01:49:20.680 --> 01:49:23.560 Burrow. Maybe he's getting some better advice. 01:49:24.199 --> 01:49:27.500 Maybe he's just maturing as a person. Probably 01:49:27.500 --> 01:49:31.600 both. And he's seeing teammates that open their 01:49:31.600 --> 01:49:35.020 mouths and say silly things, regretful things, 01:49:35.220 --> 01:49:36.920 and then bad things happen to him because of 01:49:36.920 --> 01:49:40.100 it. So I think he's like, okay. I think he realized 01:49:40.100 --> 01:49:42.659 I better just start shutting down a little bit. 01:49:43.619 --> 01:49:45.960 It's pretty bad if you can't learn from your 01:49:45.960 --> 01:49:48.060 own mistakes, but you've got to be a freaking 01:49:48.060 --> 01:49:50.520 moron to not learn from somebody else's mistake. 01:49:50.840 --> 01:49:58.319 I agree. Yep. All right. Oh, okay, yeah, but 01:49:58.319 --> 01:50:01.399 we used to, someone would always have to work 01:50:01.399 --> 01:50:03.460 in the morning back to the tricks and the pranks, 01:50:03.460 --> 01:50:06.619 like you almost got a penis thrown on you. So 01:50:06.619 --> 01:50:08.300 the person that said this, you go, all right, 01:50:08.319 --> 01:50:10.699 what time do you need to woke up at? No later 01:50:10.699 --> 01:50:13.100 than 6 .30, I got to be working at 7. How long 01:50:13.100 --> 01:50:15.000 does it take you to get to work half hour? So 01:50:15.000 --> 01:50:18.119 we would take and, you know, shave off their 01:50:18.119 --> 01:50:21.939 eyebrows. paint their toenails, all this stuff 01:50:21.939 --> 01:50:23.840 that they wouldn't be able to see because we 01:50:23.840 --> 01:50:26.359 woke them up right when they had to get in the 01:50:26.359 --> 01:50:28.779 car and go to work. Yeah. So they would fly to 01:50:28.779 --> 01:50:31.020 work, same clothes, you know, all that, you're 01:50:31.020 --> 01:50:33.159 a teenager, you didn't care, and your breast 01:50:33.159 --> 01:50:35.579 stunk, and your asshole stunk, you didn't care. 01:50:35.680 --> 01:50:39.180 Yeah. So we would send them off. After we did 01:50:39.180 --> 01:50:40.920 that to them, we'd go, dude, dude, man, I just 01:50:40.920 --> 01:50:42.420 woke up. You said something about going to work. 01:50:42.500 --> 01:50:44.439 It's a half hour till. Oh, shit, I've got to 01:50:44.439 --> 01:50:46.779 get on the road now. They run out there. They 01:50:46.779 --> 01:50:48.619 get to work, and they'll be like, oh, ho, ho. 01:50:49.520 --> 01:50:52.159 Someone had a little fun last night, didn't they? 01:50:53.819 --> 01:50:56.119 Yeah, it was a great thing. All right, good times, 01:50:56.199 --> 01:50:59.479 good times. How long have we got? Coming up on 01:50:59.479 --> 01:51:01.859 two hours. All right, well, should we shut this 01:51:01.859 --> 01:51:04.020 thing down and go into the music creek? Yes. 01:51:04.279 --> 01:51:07.600 Of course, I've got to go drain a little bit. 01:51:08.060 --> 01:51:10.380 Yep. I had a lot of coffee. I need to offload. 01:51:10.579 --> 01:51:14.039 You got to go beep beep. All right. Beep beep. 01:51:15.000 --> 01:51:17.100 Everybody, thank you guys for listening. I mean, 01:51:17.100 --> 01:51:20.859 really, our millionth download was amazing. Now 01:51:20.859 --> 01:51:22.939 we're like at what? A million twelve hundred 01:51:22.939 --> 01:51:24.920 or something like that? Yeah. Thank you guys 01:51:24.920 --> 01:51:27.260 very much. Spreading the word has been working, 01:51:27.420 --> 01:51:29.539 so please do it. We can't thank you enough. And 01:51:29.539 --> 01:51:30.300 go fuck yourself.
