WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.620
The Sports Bastards. The Sports Bastards. The

00:00:03.620 --> 00:00:07.580
Sports Bastards. The Sports Bastards. The Sports

00:00:07.580 --> 00:00:19.820
Bastards. The Sports Bastards. Well, since the

00:00:19.820 --> 00:00:22.480
sports show can't be called two douchebags with

00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:25.879
a microphone, maybe we could just call them the

00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:34.030
Sports Bastards. And it looks like we're up and

00:00:34.030 --> 00:00:37.020
away. Alright. The sports bastard. It took me

00:00:37.020 --> 00:00:39.240
a minute to get this reconfigured from what I'd

00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:41.200
done before. Oh, all right. You know what? You

00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:43.340
did, though, so. All right, so. Sorry to interrupt.

00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:47.619
You are Mark. And who am I? I believe it's Topher.

00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:50.000
That's right. You still are? I still am, yes.

00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:52.119
I'm still Mark, but I'm not for sure how much

00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:54.740
longer. I'll let everybody know if I change really

00:00:54.740 --> 00:00:57.479
quick. Yeah. You've got to make new name badges

00:00:57.479 --> 00:00:59.299
and all that. It's kind of painful. Yeah, yeah.

00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:02.539
And I have my alter ego that some people know.

00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:06.950
Dr. Z. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Remember Dr. Z? Yeah.

00:01:07.250 --> 00:01:12.269
Yeah. Okay. Maybe I made that up. Okay. All right.

00:01:12.709 --> 00:01:16.390
Oh, thank you very much. Oh, thank you. All right.

00:01:16.730 --> 00:01:19.189
City Market Coffee, the best coffee in the world.

00:01:19.269 --> 00:01:22.989
Yes, it is. Thank you. And they gave me a heart.

00:01:23.230 --> 00:01:26.349
Oh, nice. With the froth milk or whatever. Yeah.

00:01:26.349 --> 00:01:29.519
Yeah. Thank you. And we have muffins. Oh, hell

00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:32.840
yeah. Make sure we make eating and smacking noises

00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:35.379
in front of everybody. We will, and we have onion

00:01:35.379 --> 00:01:38.920
rings and fries coming up, too. So we got the

00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:43.120
very nutritious meals. Thank you. Yeah. Two muffins

00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:45.739
each? Oh, my gosh, man. We're going crazy here

00:01:45.739 --> 00:01:47.819
today. Thank you. We've got some bottled water

00:01:47.819 --> 00:01:49.980
in here if we need water. Oh, hell yeah. Right

00:01:49.980 --> 00:01:53.480
on. Yeah, and as much as we blab, we'll probably

00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:56.260
need it. Yeah, we don't exactly travel light,

00:01:56.340 --> 00:01:59.310
but... You know, we bring the important stuff.

00:01:59.390 --> 00:02:03.790
Yes, we do. Yep. We got the shock collar, right?

00:02:04.109 --> 00:02:09.270
Yes. Yes. The butt plug remover in case somebody

00:02:09.270 --> 00:02:11.270
walks by and needs their butt plug removed. I

00:02:11.270 --> 00:02:14.189
know. I know. It's so weird how that just comes

00:02:14.189 --> 00:02:16.789
in handy. Just like, oh, thank you. Yeah. Oh,

00:02:16.810 --> 00:02:19.590
yeah. City Market Coffee. Not only the best coffee,

00:02:19.650 --> 00:02:22.270
but the best food around, too. And thank you

00:02:22.270 --> 00:02:25.150
very much. You're very welcome. Enjoy. Thank

00:02:25.150 --> 00:02:29.560
you. We will. We also have the shoe horn in case

00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:32.379
an elected official comes by. We can help cry

00:02:32.379 --> 00:02:34.840
their own head out of their own ass. Yeah, but

00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:36.539
that's going to take, you know what, we better

00:02:36.539 --> 00:02:38.860
save that for last. Yeah. Because I don't think

00:02:38.860 --> 00:02:40.860
we have enough disc base on there. Yeah, it's

00:02:40.860 --> 00:02:42.620
going to take a lot of pulling, a lot of grunting

00:02:42.620 --> 00:02:46.180
and browning. Yeah, yeah. And then by the meantime,

00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:47.879
they're trying to talk to you into voting for

00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:51.300
them. Yes. I'm not voting for you. I'm not dead

00:02:51.300 --> 00:02:56.949
yet. No. Yeah. You've got to wait on death. Yep.

00:02:57.310 --> 00:03:01.370
So. So, now we know who won the Super Bowl. Yeah.

00:03:03.349 --> 00:03:09.289
I would like to say it was a contest. It was

00:03:09.289 --> 00:03:12.289
a defensive contest, I guess. Yeah. At first.

00:03:12.349 --> 00:03:15.889
At first, yeah. At first, but there's no doubt

00:03:15.889 --> 00:03:21.629
that Seattle was the barrier team in every aspect.

00:03:21.909 --> 00:03:26.729
I would say so, yeah. Patriots defense was definitely

00:03:26.729 --> 00:03:31.930
no slouch. No. But it wasn't enough. Seattle's

00:03:31.930 --> 00:03:36.030
defense is insanely good. Yeah, yeah. They remind

00:03:36.030 --> 00:03:40.849
me of Philadelphia last year. Yeah. Patriots

00:03:40.849 --> 00:03:42.990
offensive line didn't show up, which helped the

00:03:42.990 --> 00:03:45.310
Seahawks immensely. Yeah. But, you know, that's

00:03:45.310 --> 00:03:48.069
what happens. You don't say the Seahawks aren't

00:03:48.069 --> 00:03:50.150
as good just because that happens. They were

00:03:50.150 --> 00:03:51.550
good enough to take advantage of it and make

00:03:51.550 --> 00:03:55.259
it work. Yeah. All credit to the Seattle team.

00:03:55.860 --> 00:04:01.000
The Patriots with all their cap room. Why didn't

00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:05.939
they go out and sign? I guess they thought they

00:04:05.939 --> 00:04:07.939
had what they needed. That's what I'm getting

00:04:07.939 --> 00:04:13.030
at. And I don't think Mike Brable. is as motivating

00:04:13.030 --> 00:04:15.530
a coach as he thinks he is because he wasn't

00:04:15.530 --> 00:04:18.129
able to motivate the offense of the Patriots

00:04:18.129 --> 00:04:21.269
to do much at all. He wasn't able to adapt and

00:04:21.269 --> 00:04:25.389
change things. It was partially an offensive

00:04:25.389 --> 00:04:28.769
coaching failure. Yeah, and I first got this

00:04:28.769 --> 00:04:31.509
clue. I like Mike Grable a lot. I think he may

00:04:31.509 --> 00:04:34.250
one day reach the actual promised land besides

00:04:34.250 --> 00:04:37.610
just being there. But when the Chiefs played

00:04:37.610 --> 00:04:41.279
him back in 2020 in the championship game, He

00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:43.680
couldn't do the same thing. Yeah. But that was

00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:47.459
with the Titans. Yeah, yeah, with the Titans.

00:04:47.459 --> 00:04:50.920
But what is the guy's name, the quarterback from

00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:56.480
Miami that he had? Damn it. You know who I'm

00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:59.720
talking about, right? Yeah, yeah. It's like right

00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:04.480
on the tip of my brain. Me too. So anyhow, Hill

00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:08.339
something? Tannehill? Tannehill. Yeah. That's

00:05:08.339 --> 00:05:10.709
it, yeah. He had Ryan Tannehill, which I'll give

00:05:10.709 --> 00:05:13.730
him somewhat of a pass on. Yeah. He's a good

00:05:13.730 --> 00:05:16.689
backup, good game manager, not the guy who's

00:05:16.689 --> 00:05:18.750
going to win the tough game for you. No, no.

00:05:19.709 --> 00:05:21.709
And is Drake May that guy? We'll get into that

00:05:21.709 --> 00:05:23.170
a little bit later. Yeah, that's a good question.

00:05:23.170 --> 00:05:25.490
I've got a straight -up question. Yeah. And I

00:05:25.490 --> 00:05:27.569
told you about it on the way here. Yeah. We're

00:05:27.569 --> 00:05:29.850
going to save that for a standalone because that

00:05:29.850 --> 00:05:32.990
deserves a lot of thought. Yeah, yeah. So, anyhow,

00:05:33.110 --> 00:05:36.139
go ahead. We've got fries here. Oh, yeah. Thank

00:05:36.139 --> 00:05:37.639
you, sir. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Let

00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:39.800
me move my muffins out of the way. Oh, hey, all

00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:41.680
right. Those are nice muffins, by the way. They

00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:44.399
are yummy. Very nice. You got the chocolate one

00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:46.660
because that has dairy in it. Oh, that's why.

00:05:46.740 --> 00:05:48.839
Okay, thank you. I was hoping I didn't take yours.

00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:53.819
No, no. Okay, good. So, their onion rings here

00:05:53.819 --> 00:05:55.500
are phenomenal, aren't they? Oh, yeah. Yeah.

00:05:57.300 --> 00:05:59.259
I had some out of the freezer the other night.

00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:03.980
They were kind of disappointing. They can. Val

00:06:03.980 --> 00:06:05.879
taught me something on onion rings though. Yeah.

00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:09.819
Some of them are made with minced onions. You'll

00:06:09.819 --> 00:06:12.579
want those. You want the ones with the whole

00:06:12.579 --> 00:06:16.839
onions. Yeah, definitely. And she's right. Yeah.

00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:18.779
The ones with minced onions aren't nearly as

00:06:18.779 --> 00:06:21.740
good. It's more like an onion fritter shaped

00:06:21.740 --> 00:06:25.779
like a ring. Yes. Yeah. So, all right, that was

00:06:25.779 --> 00:06:30.600
onion ring talk. Bonus. Yeah, bonus. So, Mike

00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:37.600
Rabel. I can't say he let them down. What I can

00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:40.800
say is he wasn't able to coach them up enough

00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:44.420
to win, but I'm not sure if that could have happened.

00:06:45.860 --> 00:06:49.019
You're right. Yeah, there's no guarantee any

00:06:49.019 --> 00:06:52.759
amount of coaching could overcome as confident

00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:55.040
as the Seattle defense looked. They looked confident

00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:59.060
all game long. Their pregame pep talk really

00:06:59.060 --> 00:07:03.759
worked. It did. It did. Seattle has this quiet

00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:07.480
strength that the Patriots did not have. Yeah.

00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:09.519
Seattle just sat there and said, we're ready,

00:07:09.620 --> 00:07:12.300
whoever, we don't care. Nothing flashy here,

00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:15.199
nothing to see, nothing to decode. Yeah. We're

00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:17.980
playing smash mouth football here, and we're

00:07:17.980 --> 00:07:20.339
going to win the championship. And that's another

00:07:20.339 --> 00:07:22.240
question I got coming up in a little bit, too.

00:07:22.939 --> 00:07:27.740
I think it also helped that Seattle had a tough,

00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:31.990
very emotional win over Los Angeles. in their

00:07:31.990 --> 00:07:36.769
championship game, but the Patriots kind of survived

00:07:36.769 --> 00:07:39.750
the AFC championship. It wasn't a win on the

00:07:39.750 --> 00:07:41.889
part of the Patriots. It was they survived a

00:07:41.889 --> 00:07:44.430
little longer than the Broncos did. So there's

00:07:44.430 --> 00:07:47.790
no momentum there to build on. It's like we went

00:07:47.790 --> 00:07:49.769
in there and their backup quarterback hadn't

00:07:49.769 --> 00:07:52.029
played all year and we were barely able to scrape

00:07:52.029 --> 00:07:54.589
by. It doesn't build much confidence for you.

00:07:54.610 --> 00:07:56.810
No, and I think they knew that too. That was

00:07:56.810 --> 00:07:58.529
in the back of their heads as well. Boy, we got

00:07:58.529 --> 00:08:01.860
away with one. Yep. Because it's my impression

00:08:01.860 --> 00:08:03.800
the Broncos would have kicked the shit out of

00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:07.279
them with Bo Nix in. Yeah, with Bo Nix, I think

00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:10.459
the Broncos would have won that game. With Stidham,

00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:12.920
they would have at least looked better than the

00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:15.860
Patriots did. There would have been a lot more

00:08:15.860 --> 00:08:19.439
offense on the part of the Broncos. I think Seahawks

00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:23.160
eventually would have won anyway. Probably would

00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:24.939
have been a better game with the Broncos in there.

00:08:25.579 --> 00:08:28.379
I agree. It's too bad that didn't happen because

00:08:28.379 --> 00:08:30.819
I think that would have been an epic game. Because

00:08:30.819 --> 00:08:33.940
Bo Nix, he's not the flashiest, not the best.

00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:37.840
But he makes the plays when it counts. And that

00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:39.480
would have been really nice in that Super Bowl.

00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:43.159
Look, not when you're behind by 20 and getting

00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:45.620
a touchdown. I'm sorry, that's not quite the

00:08:45.620 --> 00:08:49.799
same. It's not. When you're behind by that much,

00:08:49.980 --> 00:08:52.279
you've got to kind of figure the other team is

00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:57.000
loosening up. Well, like last year. Yeah, same

00:08:57.000 --> 00:08:59.720
thing. It's kind of like, all right, let's not

00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:02.679
get anybody hurt. Let's let some people play

00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:05.460
in the Super Bowl because they earned it. They're

00:09:05.460 --> 00:09:07.240
not starters, but they played well all year.

00:09:07.299 --> 00:09:09.340
Put them in there. We're going to win this game.

00:09:09.460 --> 00:09:14.059
We clearly demonstrated it. So, yeah, I get it.

00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:16.379
The thing is on stuff like that, though, is you've

00:09:16.379 --> 00:09:18.299
got to be really careful not to let the momentum

00:09:18.299 --> 00:09:20.799
shift. Oh, yeah. And Chris Collins' work was

00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:23.539
really, or was it Tariq? One of them was like,

00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:27.399
oh, when the Patriots were. scored the touchdown,

00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:31.799
and then they stopped Seattle. All of a sudden

00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:34.340
it was like, oh, they just got to the momentum.

00:09:34.740 --> 00:09:38.960
We got us a game now. Seattle came right back

00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:43.379
and was like, we let up on the gas. We're not

00:09:43.379 --> 00:09:47.519
going to do that anymore. Watch this. It very

00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:49.860
easily could have been a shutout. Very easily

00:09:49.860 --> 00:09:50.639
could have been a shutout. It would have been

00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:53.759
the first one ever in the Super Bowl. I was rooting

00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:57.740
for it just to have one. So I've got a couple

00:09:57.740 --> 00:09:59.659
of questions about the Super Bowl here. We all

00:09:59.659 --> 00:10:02.899
know the outcome, of course. Is it 29 -13, I

00:10:02.899 --> 00:10:06.059
believe? Yeah. Yeah. But it wasn't all offense

00:10:06.059 --> 00:10:08.980
that scored the 29. No, there was a pick six

00:10:08.980 --> 00:10:11.340
in there. There was a scoop and score, wasn't

00:10:11.340 --> 00:10:15.679
there? Yeah, well, the one Walker got, the holding

00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:17.720
call brought that back. Oh, yeah. Otherwise,

00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:21.120
Walker would have had like 160 yards and a scoop

00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:24.059
and score. And he probably would have been easily

00:10:24.059 --> 00:10:27.179
MVP. Yeah, who got the MVP? I haven't looked

00:10:27.179 --> 00:10:29.919
that up yet. He should have. Yeah. He should

00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:32.960
have. Walker played out of his mind. He would

00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:36.720
be tackled and still keep going. That's an amazing

00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:40.940
guy. He ran so hard it was insane. Yeah. His

00:10:40.940 --> 00:10:43.740
running was an inspiration, and I hope that our

00:10:43.740 --> 00:10:45.820
running backs looked at that and said, shit,

00:10:45.980 --> 00:10:49.259
that's what we need to do. Yep. He said he had

00:10:49.259 --> 00:10:52.879
no for an answer on every tackle. He just kept

00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:56.470
going and going and going. And, you know, as

00:10:56.470 --> 00:10:59.250
much as I used to like Pacheco, why would you

00:10:59.250 --> 00:11:01.269
keep Pacheco if there was a running back like

00:11:01.269 --> 00:11:04.129
him out there? You would not. And I hope that

00:11:04.129 --> 00:11:06.289
– I know Andy Reid's notorious for being loyal.

00:11:06.730 --> 00:11:13.070
Yeah. But you need different running backs. Yeah.

00:11:13.990 --> 00:11:16.210
And I'm not even so sure about Hunt anymore.

00:11:17.230 --> 00:11:20.250
I like him. Yeah. But I don't know if maybe you

00:11:20.250 --> 00:11:22.029
need a complete turnover in that department.

00:11:22.470 --> 00:11:24.759
I don't know about Smith. That's still up in

00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:26.919
there. Maybe you wait until, see how he does

00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:30.500
in training camp. Maybe you keep Hunt around.

00:11:31.299 --> 00:11:33.700
A little insurance, third down back specialist,

00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:37.279
fourth down. Kind of like Pete Ryan was, who

00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:40.740
we should have kept. And then you get your main

00:11:40.740 --> 00:11:43.039
two running backs somewhere else. Mitchell's

00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:45.399
not an option, we know this. That was a complete

00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:49.159
bust. Yeah, San Francisco got even a little bit.

00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:54.600
A little bit. Yeah, it's too bad the Chiefs couldn't

00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:56.259
have been in this Super Bowl. Can you imagine

00:11:56.259 --> 00:11:59.179
over there in San Francisco in their stadium

00:11:59.179 --> 00:12:04.799
we're playing? Oh. Yeah. Something else. Yep.

00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:09.000
I noticed where Joe Montana's playing, he plays

00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:11.940
surprisingly neutral about Kansas City and San

00:12:11.940 --> 00:12:14.799
Francisco because he played for both. Yeah. I

00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:17.679
think maybe some of his feelings might be this,

00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:20.500
and I don't know for sure. It's a guess. San

00:12:20.500 --> 00:12:24.570
Francisco threw me away. Kansas City wanted him.

00:12:25.230 --> 00:12:28.549
And I think at the moment, I think there's more

00:12:28.549 --> 00:12:34.149
opportunity for him to get auxiliary income as

00:12:34.149 --> 00:12:36.129
far as endorsements and appearances. I think

00:12:36.129 --> 00:12:38.049
that would be easier in KC than it would in San

00:12:38.049 --> 00:12:41.909
Francisco. San Francisco is having a lot of troubles

00:12:41.909 --> 00:12:43.769
of their own as far as just the city itself.

00:12:44.230 --> 00:12:47.789
Oh, yeah, yeah. No kidding. And does he live

00:12:47.789 --> 00:12:49.809
in San Francisco? I think he does. He didn't

00:12:49.809 --> 00:12:51.759
stay around here, I'm pretty sure. I don't think

00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:56.559
so. Yeah. Although even with all the money he

00:12:56.559 --> 00:12:58.480
made playing football, he may not be able to

00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:03.399
afford to live there much longer. Yeah. You never

00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:06.000
know. He's probably in Santa Clara or San Jose

00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:12.960
and not actually in San Francisco. Yeah. I was

00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:16.639
surprised to see how short Joe Montana looks

00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:18.700
in relation to the other football players. He's

00:13:18.700 --> 00:13:21.639
6 '2", I believe. He's a shorter quarterback.

00:13:22.019 --> 00:13:25.440
Yeah. But I'd also like to add, 6 '2 wasn't that

00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:27.399
far out of the norm back then. No, no it wasn't.

00:13:27.779 --> 00:13:34.259
Now, 6 '5, 6 '6, not a big deal. Yeah. Okay.

00:13:35.740 --> 00:13:38.779
Should Josh Allen be thankful he didn't go to

00:13:38.779 --> 00:13:41.120
the Super Bowl and be humiliated? Oh, I think

00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:43.500
so. I think so too. I think he might have rethought

00:13:43.500 --> 00:13:46.120
things after that game and said, man, this was

00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:49.299
not the Super Bowl I wanted in on. If the Bills

00:13:49.299 --> 00:13:52.120
had made it in and lost, then Sean McDermott

00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:53.940
would have been fired yesterday instead of when

00:13:53.940 --> 00:13:56.200
he was. Yeah. Yeah, the outcome would have been

00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:59.039
the same. Yeah. Just would have delayed it two

00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:04.419
weeks. The thing is, is the ownership there is

00:14:04.419 --> 00:14:09.179
so horrible that nobody's really interested in

00:14:09.179 --> 00:14:11.000
that job, so they gave it to the offensive coordinator.

00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:13.559
Yeah. Which everyone's picking them to be back

00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:17.490
on top next year. I'm not. No. I wouldn't think

00:14:17.490 --> 00:14:20.929
so. They might win the division because, dang

00:14:20.929 --> 00:14:23.230
it, we just want that. You want that? No, no.

00:14:23.309 --> 00:14:25.509
You want number one, not number three. Yeah,

00:14:25.509 --> 00:14:28.549
I want number one. Exactly. You guys got any

00:14:28.549 --> 00:14:30.409
specials or anything? Yeah, we've got our Valentine's

00:14:30.409 --> 00:14:32.509
specials that are full -fledged going now. We've

00:14:32.509 --> 00:14:35.690
got the red velvet mocha. We've got our cherry

00:14:35.690 --> 00:14:38.250
cheesecake latte with a cheesecake cold film

00:14:38.250 --> 00:14:40.450
we make in -house. Oh, yeah. And then we have

00:14:40.450 --> 00:14:43.529
our two sandwiches, a barbecue beef sandwich

00:14:43.529 --> 00:14:46.139
with a fried onion ring on it. a little cabbage

00:14:46.139 --> 00:14:49.600
on top, and then we have a corned beef breakfast

00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:51.720
sandwich with a fried egg on it, a slice of corned

00:14:51.720 --> 00:14:54.220
beef on it, and a bean bagel. Damn it. We already

00:14:54.220 --> 00:14:56.679
ordered. Well, let's see if we get hungry a little

00:14:56.679 --> 00:14:59.299
bit later. I've got to try one of all of those.

00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:00.379
Yeah, that sounds really good. And red velvet

00:15:00.379 --> 00:15:03.500
waffles. Red velvet waffles? Yeah. Oh, shit.

00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:05.379
That house -made cream cheese frosting on top.

00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:09.480
Oh. That's pretty amazing stuff. Yeah, we're

00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:13.980
going to have to. Wow. Dang. That's impressive.

00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:21.440
Yeah. Okay, so Josh Allen probably should want

00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:25.460
in on another Super Bowl for sure. Yeah. Let's

00:15:25.460 --> 00:15:31.220
see. Is Drake May ruined? Could be. He looked

00:15:31.220 --> 00:15:33.720
pretty destroyed. It's hard to come off of something

00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:37.279
like that. Oh, my gosh. I mean, he was humiliated.

00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:44.299
I mean... Is it seven sacks? At least, yeah.

00:15:44.539 --> 00:15:49.460
I can't really blame him. He was harassed constantly.

00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:51.879
It's not like he was holding it too long or making

00:15:51.879 --> 00:15:54.919
bad choices. It's just like Mahomes this past

00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:58.240
season. He didn't have any time. Yeah. And actually,

00:15:58.419 --> 00:16:02.940
Drake May's composure impressed me. Yeah. Because

00:16:02.940 --> 00:16:05.519
he didn't really get that bad off about it or

00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:07.259
nothing. He's like, yeah, they played better.

00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:11.059
Yeah. Yeah, it would have been easy to just kind

00:16:11.059 --> 00:16:13.360
of lose it during that game and lose your temper

00:16:13.360 --> 00:16:15.620
and throw things, which I've seen a lot of other

00:16:15.620 --> 00:16:18.200
players do. I really admired him because of the

00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:21.740
level -headedness. It was like, okay, got our

00:16:21.740 --> 00:16:26.399
ass kicked. Yep. Move on next year. Yep, you've

00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:28.139
got to take the attitude of somebody was going

00:16:28.139 --> 00:16:30.720
to lose this game and be crushed, so I guess

00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:33.279
it was our turn today. Yeah, yep, and I think

00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:36.399
that's what it was. I think he compartmentalized

00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:39.879
it like he should have. Yep. Best thing for the

00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:42.100
Patriots to do would be to focus on all the good

00:16:42.100 --> 00:16:44.419
things. Hey, we got the second -year quarterback.

00:16:44.419 --> 00:16:47.059
We made it all the way to the Super Bowl. Yes.

00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:51.059
And they got a lot of cap room left so they can

00:16:51.059 --> 00:16:53.460
improve their team. That's all these positives

00:16:53.460 --> 00:16:56.000
to think about. It's kind of funny with Seattle.

00:16:56.019 --> 00:16:57.940
It's like, okay, what are you going to do for

00:16:57.940 --> 00:17:02.139
us next year? Yeah. The record's on again. Yeah.

00:17:07.369 --> 00:17:11.609
I see Seattle being back. Yeah. They've definitely

00:17:11.609 --> 00:17:14.450
got enough to build on there. Because you're

00:17:14.450 --> 00:17:18.430
going to lose team members every season. So you're

00:17:18.430 --> 00:17:20.789
always building on what you have left over. Yeah.

00:17:20.890 --> 00:17:22.869
And they're going to have plenty left. And they've

00:17:22.869 --> 00:17:27.769
got cap room. Yeah. So, okay. Sam Darnold, can

00:17:27.769 --> 00:17:31.289
we go over his graduating class? Yeah. Okay.

00:17:31.349 --> 00:17:35.269
Josh Allen. Yeah. Lamar Jackson, right? Yeah.

00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:39.019
Okay, and there was another one, too. He beat

00:17:39.019 --> 00:17:41.559
every one of them to winning a Super Bowl. Yeah.

00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:46.700
Wow. When he was frowned upon greatly, he was

00:17:46.700 --> 00:17:48.839
the guy that said, I see ghosts out there on

00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:52.259
the field. Yep. In the jets. And people automatically

00:17:52.259 --> 00:17:55.720
kind of were like, uh, it may be true, but you

00:17:55.720 --> 00:17:58.380
don't say that. Yeah. So he was kind of viewed

00:17:58.380 --> 00:18:01.039
maybe as a malcontent, or I don't know, or maybe

00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:03.019
just loose -lipped. Yeah, a little out of it.

00:18:03.180 --> 00:18:05.490
A little out of it. People didn't appreciate

00:18:05.490 --> 00:18:09.450
that, although it was true. Yeah. So he did a

00:18:09.450 --> 00:18:12.289
lot of growing up in that time, a lot. Yeah.

00:18:12.369 --> 00:18:16.750
And I read an article. He blamed San Francisco

00:18:16.750 --> 00:18:21.230
and Mike Shanahan and Brock Purdy for his success

00:18:21.230 --> 00:18:24.150
now. Wow. He said they taught him more than any

00:18:24.150 --> 00:18:27.069
other place he's been about offense, about how

00:18:27.069 --> 00:18:29.450
to compose yourself, how to throw, how to look

00:18:29.450 --> 00:18:32.400
for openings. Interesting. Yeah, he said he would

00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:35.140
not be here today if it wasn't for Kyle Shanahan

00:18:35.140 --> 00:18:38.920
and Brock Purdy specifically. How ironic that

00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:42.200
he made it and they didn't. I know. I know. You

00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:43.619
know, they're probably like, oh, that's great.

00:18:43.720 --> 00:18:48.140
I guess we gave away too much info. Yeah. So,

00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:51.480
well, I think it just strengthens the reinforcement

00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:54.259
of a system quarterback has a really hard time

00:18:54.259 --> 00:18:57.579
winning. Yeah. If you don't have a guy that can

00:18:57.579 --> 00:19:00.099
improvise and do what he needs to do, run, throw,

00:19:00.259 --> 00:19:03.920
whatever, a guy with a football mind like Mahomes

00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:05.779
where he's like, you know, I can toss this underhanded,

00:19:05.819 --> 00:19:08.440
and I know that Kelsey or somebody, I know he's

00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:10.940
with me mentally right now. There he is. So this

00:19:10.940 --> 00:19:14.059
is going to work. You need a guy like that. A

00:19:14.059 --> 00:19:17.140
system quarterback usually only gets you so far.

00:19:19.119 --> 00:19:22.000
You know, I keep remembering what a lot of military

00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:26.259
people have said. and written in books and speeches,

00:19:26.460 --> 00:19:31.759
etc., is that your plan for the battle goes completely

00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:34.359
out the window upon first contact with the enemy.

00:19:34.700 --> 00:19:38.480
He's right. And in football, once that first

00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:41.220
play is over, your game plan is trash and you

00:19:41.220 --> 00:19:45.619
need to modify, adjust. It just can't help it.

00:19:45.660 --> 00:19:47.960
Things won't go the way you planned them, so

00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:49.779
you've got to be able to adapt and adjust. And

00:19:49.779 --> 00:19:52.599
Darnold, apparently... is pretty good at seeing

00:19:52.599 --> 00:19:55.119
things that the coach couldn't anticipate, figuring

00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:57.500
things out, getting it done, and making it work.

00:19:57.619 --> 00:19:59.880
Some of those throws he made were just really,

00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:02.440
really freaking good. I know. There were others

00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:07.200
that were just plain mediocre. And even Drake

00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:09.200
May was fitting some in there that looked pretty

00:20:09.200 --> 00:20:15.140
amazing. So whoever's the better at adapting

00:20:15.140 --> 00:20:17.839
and changing as the game ebbs and flows, the

00:20:17.839 --> 00:20:22.500
game kind of breathes. It has a pulse and a respiration

00:20:22.500 --> 00:20:25.880
at the ebbs and flows. If you can ride that and

00:20:25.880 --> 00:20:28.299
know when to jump, when to strike, when to change

00:20:28.299 --> 00:20:31.440
your tactics, etc., it looks like the Seahawks

00:20:31.440 --> 00:20:33.980
were able to do that pretty well. This also was

00:20:33.980 --> 00:20:40.140
a great game to show that, to display that. Because

00:20:40.140 --> 00:20:42.220
that's exactly what happened. The ebbs and flows

00:20:42.220 --> 00:20:44.259
of the game is exactly what made it to where

00:20:44.259 --> 00:20:47.960
it was. It was like a complete apex. Seattle's

00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:52.430
climbing the hill. Got winded. Had to stop a

00:20:52.430 --> 00:20:55.289
minute. And then next thing you know, the Patriots

00:20:55.289 --> 00:20:57.589
are climbing up right behind him. Yep. So they

00:20:57.589 --> 00:21:00.109
climb a little bit more and go, okay, let's take

00:21:00.109 --> 00:21:02.210
us a little break here. Let's catch our breath.

00:21:02.309 --> 00:21:04.789
And the Patriots did it again. About the third

00:21:04.789 --> 00:21:08.650
quarter, clearly the better team on the field

00:21:08.650 --> 00:21:11.410
and the team that was going to win this was Seattle.

00:21:11.490 --> 00:21:13.829
And there was no doubt about it. Yeah. Yeah,

00:21:13.869 --> 00:21:16.029
it got pretty clear that without some sort of

00:21:16.029 --> 00:21:18.329
serious intervention that the Patriots didn't

00:21:18.329 --> 00:21:20.190
really have much of a chance. They were blanked.

00:21:20.190 --> 00:21:22.430
They were blanked in the third quarter with 53.

00:21:23.029 --> 00:21:27.329
53 total yards, not just yards out of the quarterback's

00:21:27.329 --> 00:21:29.950
hands. Total yards and through three quarters,

00:21:30.069 --> 00:21:34.589
53. That's less than 20 yards a quarter. Yeah,

00:21:34.650 --> 00:21:37.230
that is complete domination. Not even two first

00:21:37.230 --> 00:21:40.849
downs. God. The difference is at first the Patriots

00:21:40.849 --> 00:21:44.049
were able to do that to Seattle. Yeah. Holding

00:21:44.049 --> 00:21:46.049
the threes, holding the threes, holding the threes.

00:21:47.029 --> 00:21:49.900
As the game went on. They weren't able to hold

00:21:49.900 --> 00:21:52.660
them threes. No. For various reasons. I mean,

00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:56.640
the offensive line, the D -line of Seattle just

00:21:56.640 --> 00:21:59.660
manhandled everybody on their offense. And that

00:21:59.660 --> 00:22:01.980
was the difference when it kept going. And the

00:22:01.980 --> 00:22:03.779
further the game went on, the more you got to

00:22:03.779 --> 00:22:08.259
see the superior team. It's reminding me of Super

00:22:08.259 --> 00:22:11.140
Bowl IV Chiefs over the Vikings. Oh, yeah, yeah.

00:22:11.140 --> 00:22:13.900
Which I actually remember watching. I don't.

00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:18.140
Yeah. It was kind of the same thing. The Chiefs

00:22:18.140 --> 00:22:21.619
got three field goals to start, but then the

00:22:21.619 --> 00:22:23.819
Chiefs D -line just started crushing through

00:22:23.819 --> 00:22:26.839
the Vikings O -line and setting Joe Capp on his

00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:30.119
ass, and they had no answer for it. And it wasn't

00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:32.539
a high -scoring game. It was like, what, 23 -10,

00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:35.559
23 -17, something like that. But it was never

00:22:35.559 --> 00:22:39.019
really in any doubt. No, no. So this current

00:22:39.019 --> 00:22:41.099
Super Bowl, this past one, just kind of reminds

00:22:41.099 --> 00:22:43.730
me a little bit of that same attitude of... How

00:22:43.730 --> 00:22:46.250
about the Chicago Bears' one and only Super Bowl

00:22:46.250 --> 00:22:48.910
win? You were talking about this to quarterback

00:22:48.910 --> 00:22:51.369
Easton. Go ahead. You said it really well on

00:22:51.369 --> 00:22:55.150
the way in. In 1985, the Bears had their massive

00:22:55.150 --> 00:22:58.730
46 defense, and they showed up in the Super Bowl

00:22:58.730 --> 00:23:01.029
to play the New England Patriots with their second

00:23:01.029 --> 00:23:04.069
-year quarterback, Tony Easton. And the game

00:23:04.069 --> 00:23:07.869
pretty much went like we saw Sunday. It was a

00:23:07.869 --> 00:23:13.119
defensive struggle back and forth. Now in 85,

00:23:13.319 --> 00:23:15.279
the Bears were able to score a lot more. It wound

00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:17.680
up being like 46 -10 or something like that,

00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:23.039
final score. But just like Sunday, way back when

00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:25.400
the Patriots quarterback was getting hammered,

00:23:25.420 --> 00:23:27.980
was getting knocked down, he lost his confidence,

00:23:28.339 --> 00:23:31.640
didn't know what he could do to fix what was

00:23:31.640 --> 00:23:34.500
going on. They just had no answer for the relentless

00:23:34.500 --> 00:23:37.900
pass rush and the crushing attack. It really

00:23:37.900 --> 00:23:41.690
reminded me of what we saw Sunday. And the bad

00:23:41.690 --> 00:23:44.069
part is Tony Easton was never the same quarterback

00:23:44.069 --> 00:23:46.170
again. That pretty much ruined his career. It

00:23:46.170 --> 00:23:48.829
did. It very much ruined his career. Yeah. So

00:23:48.829 --> 00:23:51.210
I'm wondering that about Drake May. Yeah, it

00:23:51.210 --> 00:23:56.089
could be a bad sign for Drake May. If Rabel can

00:23:56.089 --> 00:24:00.430
step it up as a coach and take the blame, take

00:24:00.430 --> 00:24:02.589
the responsibility, and then heap the praise

00:24:02.589 --> 00:24:04.910
on Drake May, that'll go a long way towards building

00:24:04.910 --> 00:24:06.789
his confidence back. I'm pretty sure that's what

00:24:06.789 --> 00:24:09.230
he's going to do. Yeah. He's smart enough and

00:24:09.230 --> 00:24:12.450
a good enough guy. Coach to realize, I think,

00:24:12.569 --> 00:24:17.650
what needs to be done. Here's a defensive line,

00:24:17.890 --> 00:24:22.849
the new Mahomes. You know, that's a good question.

00:24:23.809 --> 00:24:26.950
I would say so. I know. Because they're starting

00:24:26.950 --> 00:24:28.730
to prove, no matter how good your quarterback

00:24:28.730 --> 00:24:32.029
is, if he doesn't have time to throw, he's not

00:24:32.029 --> 00:24:36.750
a good quarterback. And this is genius how people

00:24:36.750 --> 00:24:41.079
have figured this out, like Vic Fangio. Like,

00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:44.000
okay, we're not going to beat this guy throwing.

00:24:44.319 --> 00:24:46.119
We're not going to beat this guy head -to -head.

00:24:46.460 --> 00:24:48.519
We're only going to beat this guy by beating

00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:52.299
this guy. And so he was one of the ones that

00:24:52.299 --> 00:24:55.940
figured it out. And actually it was figured out

00:24:55.940 --> 00:24:58.319
the season before, but it was caught up to him

00:24:58.319 --> 00:25:03.960
the last Super Bowl, 59, not 60. And the D -line

00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:06.400
is, I think, the new sexy. I think the D -line

00:25:06.400 --> 00:25:09.670
is the new Mahomes. Yeah. They're pretty much

00:25:09.670 --> 00:25:13.309
going, bring your boy out here. Bring him out

00:25:13.309 --> 00:25:16.109
here. We'll take care of it. And they have been.

00:25:17.769 --> 00:25:20.089
Yeah, and your D -line is going to be the three

00:25:20.089 --> 00:25:22.970
or four people, depending on your scheme. Uh

00:25:22.970 --> 00:25:25.130
-huh. And then you've got your dedicated edge

00:25:25.130 --> 00:25:29.769
rushers. Yep. That as a group, I mean, it's more

00:25:29.769 --> 00:25:31.769
than one person. You've got a quarterback, that's

00:25:31.769 --> 00:25:38.089
one person. You find the one person. defensive

00:25:38.089 --> 00:25:41.210
pass rush, one of them can have a bad day and

00:25:41.210 --> 00:25:43.450
the rest of them still come through. Yes. If

00:25:43.450 --> 00:25:45.250
you just put everything on the quarterback and

00:25:45.250 --> 00:25:48.109
he has a bad day, you're sunk. So there's more

00:25:48.109 --> 00:25:50.529
room for error. And if you lose somebody, it's

00:25:50.529 --> 00:25:53.150
easier to put another person in and still maintain

00:25:53.150 --> 00:25:55.809
that high level. Whereas we see if Mahomes gets

00:25:55.809 --> 00:25:58.329
injured, he's out. You've got a completely different

00:25:58.329 --> 00:26:02.349
quarterback in there now. Yeah. It seems like

00:26:02.349 --> 00:26:05.869
a safer and easier way to build the pivotal point

00:26:05.869 --> 00:26:09.029
of your team. Uh -huh. is to sink the money into

00:26:09.029 --> 00:26:11.730
the pass rush. And then also the running game.

00:26:12.190 --> 00:26:15.529
How do you counteract a good pass rush? The best

00:26:15.529 --> 00:26:19.170
way is, of course, the offensive line, but the

00:26:19.170 --> 00:26:21.890
best is the running game. The running game loosens

00:26:21.890 --> 00:26:24.109
those guys up, the D -line up, because they're

00:26:24.109 --> 00:26:26.230
constantly trying to fend off that five -yard,

00:26:26.329 --> 00:26:30.230
that four -yard, that five -yard. So if I were

00:26:30.230 --> 00:26:32.710
the Chiefs, I mean, look, I mean, they're a body

00:26:32.710 --> 00:26:35.269
of success. I mean, who am I to say this, but

00:26:35.269 --> 00:26:37.440
it appears to me like... They need to change

00:26:37.440 --> 00:26:41.079
it around. You know what? Mahomes is our secret

00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:43.259
answer. He's the secret sauce. But everything

00:26:43.259 --> 00:26:47.059
else has to be in the broth. Yeah, it seems like

00:26:47.059 --> 00:26:49.720
they've been using Mahomes as like 90 % of the

00:26:49.720 --> 00:26:54.220
offense. Yeah. He should be 50%. Yeah, and his

00:26:54.220 --> 00:26:57.740
form of backyard football is so good, but it's

00:26:57.740 --> 00:27:01.000
not possible if you don't have any time for anything.

00:27:01.359 --> 00:27:03.420
And it's not really sustainable over the course

00:27:03.420 --> 00:27:08.109
of a game. You can't keep counting on those fun,

00:27:08.210 --> 00:27:11.009
high -risk throws to keep working out for you.

00:27:11.170 --> 00:27:14.490
Yeah. Pounding up the middle or around the end

00:27:14.490 --> 00:27:17.609
with a running back or running draws to defeat

00:27:17.609 --> 00:27:22.269
the pass rush. It's a very valid tactic to use,

00:27:22.369 --> 00:27:24.690
and it gets you yards, and it runs the clock

00:27:24.690 --> 00:27:27.789
down so your enemy's offense can't spend much

00:27:27.789 --> 00:27:31.250
time on the field. It's like win, win, win. Yeah.

00:27:35.819 --> 00:27:38.440
As in Kansas City doing this, we also need an

00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:39.960
offensive line a little bit more disciplined,

00:27:40.119 --> 00:27:43.380
in my opinion. Yeah. We have some really good

00:27:43.380 --> 00:27:45.740
components on there, but it seems to me like

00:27:45.740 --> 00:27:48.019
they're not that well coached, which would go

00:27:48.019 --> 00:27:54.940
to the offensive line coaching. So we have had

00:27:54.940 --> 00:27:58.539
new people come in to their credit, they realized.

00:27:59.680 --> 00:28:01.980
So anyhow, we'll move on from that. Well, one

00:28:01.980 --> 00:28:04.400
thing I wanted to mention there is when you've

00:28:04.400 --> 00:28:08.079
got – a bizarre snap count, like a hard count

00:28:08.079 --> 00:28:11.380
or a bizarre cadence or whatever, your linemen

00:28:11.380 --> 00:28:13.380
will learn that and they can handle it. But then

00:28:13.380 --> 00:28:15.480
when someone has to rotate out and someone else

00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:17.779
in, then you get false starts over and over and

00:28:17.779 --> 00:28:22.240
over and over. It makes more sense to not rely

00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:26.799
on such a weird and funky snap count. Just be

00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:29.200
able to do the job when the ball is snapped and

00:28:29.200 --> 00:28:31.460
then you don't have to worry about tricking them

00:28:31.460 --> 00:28:34.480
with a weird snap count. Exactly, yes. Get better

00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:37.359
at your job. That way you won't have to use the

00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:40.380
trick, and substituting offensive linemen won't

00:28:40.380 --> 00:28:44.259
keep setting you back five yards. Yeah. So many

00:28:44.259 --> 00:28:47.920
times you see a business or a company or a team

00:28:47.920 --> 00:28:50.019
or something, they've got a difficult situation

00:28:50.019 --> 00:28:52.680
or a problem. Yeah. Instead of fixing it, they

00:28:52.680 --> 00:28:55.279
just work it into the normal routine. It's like,

00:28:55.339 --> 00:28:57.019
okay, well, this is the way it is, and here's

00:28:57.019 --> 00:28:58.579
how we're going to accommodate it and make it

00:28:58.579 --> 00:29:00.839
part of every day. It's like, no, just fix it.

00:29:01.160 --> 00:29:05.650
Yeah. I can see the Chiefs. Well, we're going

00:29:05.650 --> 00:29:07.470
to keep doing the weird -ass snap cam because

00:29:07.470 --> 00:29:12.430
that helps us. Yeah, it's going to bite in the

00:29:12.430 --> 00:29:17.589
ass. Yeah, you won't have to do the, oh, acting

00:29:17.589 --> 00:29:20.450
like you're going to try to draw the offense

00:29:20.450 --> 00:29:22.869
offside. Say, no, this never fucking works, and

00:29:22.869 --> 00:29:24.950
then go ahead and do it anyhow. You don't have

00:29:24.950 --> 00:29:27.029
to do that if you're good enough. Yeah. Although

00:29:27.029 --> 00:29:30.569
that was funny. Yeah. All right. It's a Super

00:29:30.569 --> 00:29:34.660
Bowl legal name. Two words are one. I think it's

00:29:34.660 --> 00:29:37.759
one. It's two words. Oh, it is. It is. Look at

00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:40.700
all the Super Bowl logos. There's a space in

00:29:40.700 --> 00:29:43.180
between them. Wow, I didn't notice that. Their

00:29:43.180 --> 00:29:47.779
legal name is Super Bowl. But we all choose to

00:29:47.779 --> 00:29:50.740
just say Super Bowl. I bet they have both copyrighted.

00:29:50.900 --> 00:29:53.059
Probably. But they use the one with the space

00:29:53.059 --> 00:29:56.920
in it. Well, they obviously have to have it copyrighted

00:29:56.920 --> 00:29:59.240
because then everybody would have been... going

00:29:59.240 --> 00:30:01.660
Super Bowl in one word and going, ha ha, you

00:30:01.660 --> 00:30:03.339
can't do anything about it. So I think you're

00:30:03.339 --> 00:30:06.539
probably 100 % correct. Like, get both of them,

00:30:06.559 --> 00:30:09.400
we're going to use one of them. So, yeah, they're

00:30:09.400 --> 00:30:11.880
that kind of league, yes. Love them or hate them,

00:30:11.940 --> 00:30:16.539
whatever. Do you have something you want to go

00:30:16.539 --> 00:30:18.640
over? I have some stuff, but we can get to it

00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:26.180
here in a little bit. Let's see. What do you

00:30:26.180 --> 00:30:30.019
think about... Mike Vrabel's, I mean not Mike

00:30:30.019 --> 00:30:32.920
Vrabel, Sean Payton's future in Denver after

00:30:32.920 --> 00:30:35.660
he stuck his foot in his mouth. I know. You know,

00:30:35.680 --> 00:30:39.740
everybody's on Bo Nix's side. And they should

00:30:39.740 --> 00:30:43.119
be. They should be. How about HIPAA laws? I mean,

00:30:43.160 --> 00:30:45.400
I'm pretty sure that Denver Broncos and Sean

00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:48.460
Payton are liable if Bo Nix chooses to go that

00:30:48.460 --> 00:30:50.180
route. I doubt if he does because he wants to

00:30:50.180 --> 00:30:53.019
play there. But still, he has a hell of a complaint.

00:30:53.359 --> 00:30:57.079
Yeah, yeah. I would definitely. In his place,

00:30:57.119 --> 00:30:59.119
I would use that as a bargaining chip, saying,

00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:03.180
look, I'm not going to prosecute you, but I'm

00:31:03.180 --> 00:31:06.740
pretty pissed. Some things need to change, and

00:31:06.740 --> 00:31:09.759
here is how I want things to go, or right before

00:31:09.759 --> 00:31:12.700
the statute of limitations runs out, I will prosecute

00:31:12.700 --> 00:31:16.839
for that. Yes, and also, he was so angry, he

00:31:16.839 --> 00:31:19.440
called his own press conference. Yep. He went

00:31:19.440 --> 00:31:21.059
straight to the media and said, hey, I'm having

00:31:21.059 --> 00:31:23.559
a press conference over here at 12 o 'clock.

00:31:24.140 --> 00:31:25.940
The media went there, and that's when he gave

00:31:25.940 --> 00:31:28.480
them the good news about, hey, you don't know

00:31:28.480 --> 00:31:32.220
how many operations I had, and you shouldn't

00:31:32.220 --> 00:31:34.680
be speaking about it. I'm thinking that Sean

00:31:34.680 --> 00:31:37.180
Payton's authority over Bo Nix has just been

00:31:37.180 --> 00:31:40.700
cut in half, if not more. I think so, too. I

00:31:40.700 --> 00:31:42.980
think from now on, Bo Nix can look at Sean Payton

00:31:42.980 --> 00:31:44.920
and say, you know what? If I don't like what

00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:46.680
you're saying, I'm just not going to do it. And

00:31:46.680 --> 00:31:48.200
what the hell are you going to do about it, old

00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:49.220
man? And there's nothing he's going to do. You're

00:31:49.220 --> 00:31:51.740
right. They'll replace Sean Payton before they'll

00:31:51.740 --> 00:31:56.670
dump Bo Nix. I think so, too. Yeah. Okay, so,

00:31:56.730 --> 00:32:00.950
yeah, that was also the other thing was the attempted

00:32:00.950 --> 00:32:04.410
joke, which I don't think was a joke. Did you

00:32:04.410 --> 00:32:06.269
see him in that press conference, Sean Payton?

00:32:06.769 --> 00:32:09.809
Well, he goes, if I would have known that. He

00:32:09.809 --> 00:32:12.569
said, really, as a matter of fact, if I would

00:32:12.569 --> 00:32:14.009
have known that, I wouldn't have drafted him.

00:32:16.589 --> 00:32:18.190
It's the guy that brought you to the championship

00:32:18.190 --> 00:32:23.059
game. Yeah, he did so many things wrong. His

00:32:23.059 --> 00:32:27.660
surly, nasty attitude, zero humor. Yeah. I mean,

00:32:27.660 --> 00:32:31.000
he's done so much damage to himself image -wise.

00:32:32.160 --> 00:32:34.700
I imagine the Broncos are sitting there thinking,

00:32:34.980 --> 00:32:38.940
they're trying to decide, do we just take the

00:32:38.940 --> 00:32:42.420
side against him and let him swing on his own,

00:32:42.500 --> 00:32:46.339
or do we try to stand behind him and try to rehabilitate

00:32:46.339 --> 00:32:48.339
him and bring him back into the fold? Time will

00:32:48.339 --> 00:32:50.619
tell, but he might have lost the team. Could

00:32:50.619 --> 00:32:53.079
you imagine the rest of it? I mean, how would

00:32:53.079 --> 00:32:54.779
you like to be on that team and hear that and

00:32:54.779 --> 00:33:00.339
go, what did he just do? Yep. Yep. I mean, team

00:33:00.339 --> 00:33:02.420
sport. Everyone works together. Everyone relies

00:33:02.420 --> 00:33:04.039
on each other. Everyone counts on each other.

00:33:04.079 --> 00:33:08.279
And here's the coach singling you out. Yeah.

00:33:08.359 --> 00:33:12.900
Saying, gee, I wish we'd never drafted you. Yeah.

00:33:14.859 --> 00:33:17.299
That's what ownership chose to hire as the head

00:33:17.299 --> 00:33:20.109
coach. Think about it a little more carefully.

00:33:20.289 --> 00:33:23.069
The good coaches protect their players and throw

00:33:23.069 --> 00:33:24.950
the blame on them just like a good quarterback

00:33:24.950 --> 00:33:27.349
does. Yep, that's what I see Andy doing every

00:33:27.349 --> 00:33:29.849
time. He never blames the players. And it's a

00:33:29.849 --> 00:33:32.930
layered thing. You have Chris Jones accepting

00:33:32.930 --> 00:33:35.369
responsibility on the defense. You have Mahomes

00:33:35.369 --> 00:33:37.809
accepting responsibility over the whole team.

00:33:37.950 --> 00:33:40.910
You have Reed accepting responsibility over Mahomes.

00:33:40.990 --> 00:33:43.990
And that's the way it should be. And that's part

00:33:43.990 --> 00:33:46.329
of what you hire him for is that right there.

00:33:46.730 --> 00:33:48.549
You have to protect these people and you have

00:33:48.549 --> 00:33:52.890
to make sure that they have a clear path to succeed.

00:33:53.549 --> 00:33:57.210
What Sean Payton did was not that. If nothing

00:33:57.210 --> 00:33:59.869
else, Sean Payton has shown how he can be rattled

00:33:59.869 --> 00:34:02.930
to the point where he throws all of his good

00:34:02.930 --> 00:34:06.890
judgment and caution away. Yeah, no problem.

00:34:06.990 --> 00:34:09.010
If he can be rattled into saying something that

00:34:09.010 --> 00:34:13.690
stupid and then doubling down on it, how do you

00:34:13.690 --> 00:34:16.400
trust that guy? How do you trust him with your

00:34:16.400 --> 00:34:19.539
multi -billion dollar franchise? I wouldn't.

00:34:19.539 --> 00:34:22.860
When he's that volatile and he's that quick to

00:34:22.860 --> 00:34:25.260
say something stupid that damages your franchise.

00:34:25.659 --> 00:34:29.659
Yeah. It's like, dude, I think the Broncos are

00:34:29.659 --> 00:34:33.159
probably worth like $5 billion, $6 billion. And

00:34:33.159 --> 00:34:35.900
he can cut that value massively with one stupid

00:34:35.900 --> 00:34:39.349
comment. Yeah. I wouldn't trust him. I wouldn't

00:34:39.349 --> 00:34:41.789
either. The fallout, I don't think, is going

00:34:41.789 --> 00:34:44.750
to begin this season. I think the fallout is

00:34:44.750 --> 00:34:46.789
going to begin next season to see how they react

00:34:46.789 --> 00:34:49.530
to the coach doing that. Yeah, I imagine that

00:34:49.530 --> 00:34:53.050
somewhere in a mental ledger, the general manager

00:34:53.050 --> 00:34:55.510
or the owner or ownership group or whoever is

00:34:55.510 --> 00:34:57.949
making little check marks that, all right, you're

00:34:57.949 --> 00:34:59.929
nine -tenths of the way out the door. You do

00:34:59.929 --> 00:35:02.690
one more thing, and the ax is coming down, and

00:35:02.690 --> 00:35:06.219
we're going to make it stick. I think you're

00:35:06.219 --> 00:35:08.800
right. And the team won't care and the fans won't

00:35:08.800 --> 00:35:12.300
care because he's shown his ass. Yeah. And unless

00:35:12.300 --> 00:35:14.659
he starts winning Super Bowls pretty quick, they're

00:35:14.659 --> 00:35:16.480
tired of him already. That's the key right there.

00:35:16.599 --> 00:35:18.820
He has to go on to the promised land and win

00:35:18.820 --> 00:35:21.420
it now with the Broncos. And he's got to do this

00:35:21.420 --> 00:35:24.860
quick. Yeah. Because anything less, they're going

00:35:24.860 --> 00:35:26.559
to be like, this guy's mouthy and he's just not

00:35:26.559 --> 00:35:28.519
getting it done. Look, no Super Bowl rings, nothing.

00:35:28.719 --> 00:35:31.139
We made it. way up there both times and kept

00:35:31.139 --> 00:35:33.519
losing. No, he's going to be ousted just like

00:35:33.519 --> 00:35:36.460
Sean McDermott. You know what I'd compare it

00:35:36.460 --> 00:35:40.679
to? Say a man and a woman get married and then

00:35:40.679 --> 00:35:43.920
they have their wedding night together and the

00:35:43.920 --> 00:35:45.980
next day the guy goes to work and tells all his

00:35:45.980 --> 00:35:48.460
friends that his wife was crappy in bed and farted

00:35:48.460 --> 00:35:50.559
too much and he could do better and I wouldn't

00:35:50.559 --> 00:35:53.400
have married her if I'd known this. Does that

00:35:53.400 --> 00:35:56.889
look good for him ever? Hell no. No, no, you're

00:35:56.889 --> 00:35:58.369
right, yeah. And is his wife going to be real

00:35:58.369 --> 00:36:00.690
happy to take him back with open arms? Uh -uh.

00:36:00.809 --> 00:36:02.909
No, no, no. That's what Sean Payton basically

00:36:02.909 --> 00:36:05.730
did. He crapped all over the team that was giving

00:36:05.730 --> 00:36:08.630
him everything he demanded, everything they could,

00:36:08.670 --> 00:36:10.289
and he just crapped on them. And you're talking

00:36:10.289 --> 00:36:12.250
about the leader of this team. Yeah. This is

00:36:12.250 --> 00:36:14.750
a guy that everybody looks up to. Yeah, the quarterback

00:36:14.750 --> 00:36:18.449
is supposed to be like the coach on the field,

00:36:18.530 --> 00:36:20.170
basically. Yeah, yeah, and you're doing that?

00:36:21.150 --> 00:36:25.389
Yeah. Such bad judgment. That's the big thing

00:36:25.389 --> 00:36:29.110
is he lost control. He didn't have the discipline

00:36:29.110 --> 00:36:31.610
to keep his mouth shut. He said the stupid part

00:36:31.610 --> 00:36:36.170
aloud. Total lapse of judgment. Gosh. And non

00:36:36.170 --> 00:36:38.489
-discipline. Yeah. Yeah, I agree. But, you know,

00:36:38.550 --> 00:36:40.530
Deshaun Watson hung around in the league for

00:36:40.530 --> 00:36:43.710
a few years after he basically raped all those

00:36:43.710 --> 00:36:46.130
women. So I guess Sean Payton can hang around

00:36:46.130 --> 00:36:48.510
for saying something stupid. I guess so. Geez.

00:36:49.400 --> 00:36:51.699
It really comes in. The NFL, if they're making

00:36:51.699 --> 00:36:53.480
money off you, they'll let you stick around.

00:36:53.719 --> 00:36:55.840
Oh, yes. Without a doubt. It doesn't matter if

00:36:55.840 --> 00:36:59.059
you murdered a bunch of dogs in dog fighting

00:36:59.059 --> 00:37:01.139
rings. If they can make money off you, they'll

00:37:01.139 --> 00:37:02.860
bring you back and let you play football again.

00:37:02.860 --> 00:37:07.559
They come out of prison. Yep. Yep. So, we'll

00:37:07.559 --> 00:37:12.119
see. Yeah. Do you want to go through a few stats

00:37:12.119 --> 00:37:17.360
of the Super Bowl? Yeah. Okay. Total points,

00:37:17.559 --> 00:37:22.800
29 -13, of course, the Seahawks. Total yards,

00:37:23.139 --> 00:37:26.260
listen to this, and this is not indicative of

00:37:26.260 --> 00:37:31.360
what happened. Patriots total yards, 331. Seahawks,

00:37:31.380 --> 00:37:37.539
335. Wow. Yeah. That tells me that the Seahawks

00:37:37.539 --> 00:37:39.300
were a lot more efficient with the yards they

00:37:39.300 --> 00:37:42.440
gained. They converted them to points much better.

00:37:42.619 --> 00:37:49.840
Yes. Now, listen to this. Passing yards, 252

00:37:49.840 --> 00:37:55.079
for the Patriots, 194 for the Seahawks. Really?

00:37:55.320 --> 00:37:57.980
Yes. So reading this, you'd be like, oh, man,

00:37:58.139 --> 00:38:03.159
Seahawks didn't do that well. Well, they did

00:38:03.159 --> 00:38:05.539
have Kenneth Walker. Yeah, but, yeah, there you

00:38:05.539 --> 00:38:08.300
go there. And this goes back to what I'm saying

00:38:08.300 --> 00:38:10.980
about a running game complementary to the D -line

00:38:10.980 --> 00:38:14.440
is the way you win games now. That's as of right

00:38:14.440 --> 00:38:16.969
now. Next year might change. Yeah. Rushing yards

00:38:16.969 --> 00:38:22.550
for the Patriots, 79. Rushing yards for the Seahawks,

00:38:22.590 --> 00:38:26.809
except minus six of them were all Walker II.

00:38:27.070 --> 00:38:33.070
Wow. 141. Nice. Or no, wait a minute. 133 yards,

00:38:33.130 --> 00:38:37.710
136 yards, or was it 140 yards? Somewhere around

00:38:37.710 --> 00:38:39.969
there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was like less than

00:38:39.969 --> 00:38:44.420
10 yards. Every one belonged to Walker. First

00:38:44.420 --> 00:38:50.920
downs, Patriots 18, Seahawks 20. Wow. Can you

00:38:50.920 --> 00:38:53.659
believe that shit? They were shut down in the

00:38:53.659 --> 00:38:57.119
red zone. That's it. They were shut down in the

00:38:57.119 --> 00:38:59.119
red zone. They got all of the first downs between

00:38:59.119 --> 00:39:03.420
the 40s. Another thing worth mentioning here

00:39:03.420 --> 00:39:07.659
is Patriots actually had more passing yards than

00:39:07.659 --> 00:39:10.139
you think because the sack yardage comes off

00:39:10.139 --> 00:39:13.179
of. Drake Mays. Yes, that's a great point. He

00:39:13.179 --> 00:39:16.280
had seven sacks. So all the yardage he lost on

00:39:16.280 --> 00:39:19.199
the sacks deducted from the yards he'd already

00:39:19.199 --> 00:39:20.960
passed. He probably had 400 yards, actually.

00:39:20.960 --> 00:39:24.860
Yeah, yeah. Isn't that something? Couldn't make

00:39:24.860 --> 00:39:27.400
it count. Couldn't make it count. I'll put it

00:39:27.400 --> 00:39:30.820
like this. Mahomes won a Super Bowl like heaven

00:39:30.820 --> 00:39:34.340
won something. You know, won something passing

00:39:34.340 --> 00:39:38.019
yards. Yeah. And the ones towards the end of

00:39:38.019 --> 00:39:40.179
the game is different because that's when the

00:39:40.179 --> 00:39:42.900
game becomes more serious. And that's when you

00:39:42.900 --> 00:39:45.400
start taking chances. You hit a big play here

00:39:45.400 --> 00:39:48.000
and there. So, all right, how about third down

00:39:48.000 --> 00:39:52.900
conversions? The Patriots, 6 of 15. The Seahawks,

00:39:53.059 --> 00:39:59.380
4 of 16. Whoa. Yes. It doesn't make sense, does

00:39:59.380 --> 00:40:03.760
it? That is really weird. You know, some of those...

00:40:03.949 --> 00:40:06.690
Third downs they didn't convert, turned into

00:40:06.690 --> 00:40:10.809
field goals. Yes. I don't remember them going

00:40:10.809 --> 00:40:12.869
for it on first down, so the rest of them turned

00:40:12.869 --> 00:40:15.949
into punts. That's the next one. Wow. Fourth

00:40:15.949 --> 00:40:21.469
down conversion, 0 -0 on both. Yeah. Sacks, yards

00:40:21.469 --> 00:40:28.050
lost. Patriots had eight. This is the sacks that

00:40:28.050 --> 00:40:30.809
the team got. Like, okay, this is the Seahawks

00:40:30.809 --> 00:40:33.389
getting. Or the Patriots getting the Seahawks.

00:40:33.429 --> 00:40:36.449
They have one sack for eight yards. Wow. Yeah.

00:40:36.789 --> 00:40:41.889
And then Seahawks against Drake Mays, six, I

00:40:41.889 --> 00:40:44.690
guess. I thought it was seven. For 43 yards.

00:40:44.809 --> 00:40:50.170
So take that 43 yards off of the 300. Put that

00:40:50.170 --> 00:40:54.309
onto the 331 yards, and you're in the 370s close

00:40:54.309 --> 00:40:58.590
to 380. Yeah, wow. Interceptions thrown. I don't

00:40:58.590 --> 00:41:04.360
know. Drake May, two. Sam Darnold, none. So that

00:41:04.360 --> 00:41:12.320
was a huge one. Fumbles. Drake May, one. Sam

00:41:12.320 --> 00:41:19.099
Darnold, nothing. Penalties. Three for 25 yards,

00:41:19.139 --> 00:41:22.820
the Patriots, and four for 25 yards, the Seahawks.

00:41:22.940 --> 00:41:25.260
Thank God we didn't have a flag -filled game.

00:41:25.380 --> 00:41:28.260
That was so nice. Oh, I know. It was nice. How

00:41:28.260 --> 00:41:30.139
about time of possession? How do you think that's

00:41:30.139 --> 00:41:34.539
going? Probably a little towards the Seahawks

00:41:34.539 --> 00:41:37.260
because of their running game. But not that extraordinary.

00:41:37.659 --> 00:41:44.320
Okay. Possession time, 26 .49. 26 minutes, 49

00:41:44.320 --> 00:41:49.340
seconds. Seahawks, 33 minutes, 11 seconds. So

00:41:49.340 --> 00:41:52.019
about six seconds more. About one drive difference,

00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:55.739
should we say, right? Wow, that's not a lot.

00:41:55.960 --> 00:42:00.920
Yep. Now this is just passing. Just passing,

00:42:00.960 --> 00:42:05.460
not total yards. Drake May, 26 of 42, 271 yards.

00:42:06.460 --> 00:42:08.460
Respectable, very respectable in the Super Bowl.

00:42:08.579 --> 00:42:12.960
Two touchdowns, but two interceptions. Six sacks.

00:42:13.760 --> 00:42:19.619
76 .6 rating, which is horrible. So, Drake May

00:42:19.619 --> 00:42:24.739
on rushing. Five carries, 37 yards. Not bad.

00:42:24.880 --> 00:42:28.179
One fumble. One loss. He had more than that,

00:42:28.239 --> 00:42:37.250
but one didn't count. Ramondre Stevenson, seven

00:42:37.250 --> 00:42:40.670
carries for 23 yards, when you got Walker over

00:42:40.670 --> 00:42:45.469
there, remember, at 130 -something. So, anyhow,

00:42:45.750 --> 00:42:48.670
I got more here. Do you want me to go on to some

00:42:48.670 --> 00:42:50.929
more stats, or do we pretty much have a good

00:42:50.929 --> 00:42:53.510
idea? I think we're getting a good idea. The

00:42:53.510 --> 00:42:55.710
running game was a big difference. Kenneth Walker,

00:42:55.889 --> 00:42:57.630
the third. I thought he was the second, the third.

00:42:58.139 --> 00:43:02.659
27 carries, 135 yards. What would that break

00:43:02.659 --> 00:43:07.000
down to, 27 out of 135? I don't think it's as

00:43:07.000 --> 00:43:09.260
good as we think it is. I mean, like, stat -wise.

00:43:10.199 --> 00:43:12.860
It's more than four yards a carry. Yeah. That's

00:43:12.860 --> 00:43:16.000
like 4 .3, something like that. Something like

00:43:16.000 --> 00:43:17.539
that, yeah. Well, you know what, that's very,

00:43:17.699 --> 00:43:19.039
very good. That's pretty good, yeah. That's real

00:43:19.039 --> 00:43:20.539
good. You do that three times, you already got

00:43:20.539 --> 00:43:22.119
a first down. Yeah, that's what I judge it by.

00:43:22.260 --> 00:43:24.440
If you can run three times and get a first down,

00:43:24.519 --> 00:43:27.260
that's successful running game. Yeah, yeah. Cooper

00:43:27.260 --> 00:43:31.619
Cup, 61 yards, six catches. I thought his name

00:43:31.619 --> 00:43:34.340
was Cup of Soup. It is. Cooper Cup, Cup of Soup.

00:43:34.539 --> 00:43:39.360
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Chunky, Chunky Soup, yes. And

00:43:39.360 --> 00:43:42.940
now hearing those stats, it really, really brings

00:43:42.940 --> 00:43:45.079
into focus how one -dimensional the Patriots

00:43:45.079 --> 00:43:48.400
were. They had the passing game. Exactly. That

00:43:48.400 --> 00:43:52.300
was pretty much it. That was it? Yeah. Interesting,

00:43:52.500 --> 00:43:58.250
because I think Mike, okay. Mike Vrabel, he coached

00:43:58.250 --> 00:44:00.050
this team up so much, and it was an opening.

00:44:00.289 --> 00:44:02.969
The usual suspects were not in there. And then

00:44:02.969 --> 00:44:06.949
they were given a gift by Bo Nix shattering his

00:44:06.949 --> 00:44:10.769
ankle. Okay, so it was somewhat luck coaching

00:44:10.769 --> 00:44:13.170
up. I don't think they were really meant to be

00:44:13.170 --> 00:44:16.469
there yet. Yeah, yeah, I was getting that overwhelming

00:44:16.469 --> 00:44:19.170
feeling that if it had been another year or so,

00:44:19.210 --> 00:44:21.190
Drake May would have behaved a lot differently,

00:44:21.409 --> 00:44:25.300
would have been a lot better. Yep. At this point,

00:44:25.440 --> 00:44:28.460
he's going to have to overcome this Super Bowl

00:44:28.460 --> 00:44:31.519
loss, which may set him back six months to a

00:44:31.519 --> 00:44:35.760
year. I think it's going to. He got beat up and

00:44:35.760 --> 00:44:38.159
humiliated so bad. I think there's going to be

00:44:38.159 --> 00:44:41.099
a hangover. He might recover, yes, but I think

00:44:41.099 --> 00:44:42.980
there's going to be a hangover. And next year,

00:44:43.000 --> 00:44:44.340
they're going to have a first -place schedule.

00:44:44.760 --> 00:44:48.300
It's going to be interesting to see. So I actually

00:44:48.300 --> 00:44:52.559
think that that division in particular, them

00:44:52.559 --> 00:44:54.329
and the Bills, I think that they're going to

00:44:54.329 --> 00:44:56.510
all have a down season, but I think the Bills

00:44:56.510 --> 00:44:58.809
might squeak one out, and it would be like 11

00:44:58.809 --> 00:45:04.469
-6 as opposed to 13 or something like that. There's

00:45:04.469 --> 00:45:08.869
more on the line also for the Super Bowl than

00:45:08.869 --> 00:45:14.469
being the winning quarterback. Twenty years ago

00:45:14.469 --> 00:45:17.269
and earlier, winning the Super Bowl was its own

00:45:17.269 --> 00:45:20.010
reward. It's something you brag on. It helps

00:45:20.010 --> 00:45:24.139
you get in the Hall of Fame. Winning the Super

00:45:24.139 --> 00:45:27.880
Bowl is a stepping stone to better endorsement

00:45:27.880 --> 00:45:31.000
deals, more appearances, more opportunities,

00:45:31.300 --> 00:45:33.639
etc. So it's not just, well, we could have won

00:45:33.639 --> 00:45:36.340
the championship and we didn't. We didn't win

00:45:36.340 --> 00:45:38.639
and now all those business opportunities have

00:45:38.639 --> 00:45:42.179
disappeared. It means a lot more financially

00:45:42.179 --> 00:45:46.400
to the players who didn't win. Look at Jalen

00:45:46.400 --> 00:45:49.219
Hurts. You didn't see him on TV before that except

00:45:49.219 --> 00:45:51.480
on a football game. Yep. After the Super Bowl

00:45:51.480 --> 00:45:54.559
win, he's on a lot of commercials. Yep. And then

00:45:54.559 --> 00:45:57.880
they didn't make postseason this time, so a lot

00:45:57.880 --> 00:46:00.039
of that's going to dry up for him. Yes. And I'm

00:46:00.039 --> 00:46:02.699
sure Drake May had a ton of stuff lined up. You

00:46:02.699 --> 00:46:04.659
know, you win the Super Bowl, here's all these

00:46:04.659 --> 00:46:07.000
things. And then he didn't win, and they're all

00:46:07.000 --> 00:46:08.739
gone. They're gone. They're going to somebody

00:46:08.739 --> 00:46:13.380
else. Yeah. It's an extra factor that we don't

00:46:13.380 --> 00:46:17.320
always see or think about, but it's. You know,

00:46:17.320 --> 00:46:19.820
these players who are in the NFL are looking

00:46:19.820 --> 00:46:22.860
at it not as, you know, here's where I, this

00:46:22.860 --> 00:46:24.880
is my end, this is my goal, this is my dream.

00:46:25.000 --> 00:46:28.199
It's this is my step to the next big thing. I

00:46:28.199 --> 00:46:30.539
can use the NFL to get where I really want to

00:46:30.539 --> 00:46:34.840
go. Yes. Yep. So it ironically becomes more important

00:46:34.840 --> 00:46:38.599
they do well in the NFL because they want a head

00:46:38.599 --> 00:46:40.699
start on the next thing in their life, the podcast

00:46:40.699 --> 00:46:44.199
or the business investment or the general manager

00:46:44.199 --> 00:46:47.059
position or whatever. Yeah. No, that's true.

00:46:47.900 --> 00:46:50.019
More weight on the players. All of a sudden,

00:46:50.059 --> 00:46:52.119
Josh Allen's not in any more cute commercials

00:46:52.119 --> 00:46:55.840
like that weird -ass pistachio one. Yeah, that

00:46:55.840 --> 00:46:58.380
was pretty pervy. Yeah, or the one he's lying

00:46:58.380 --> 00:47:01.559
in bed with some dude. Yeah, yeah, they all just

00:47:01.559 --> 00:47:04.599
kind of dried up. Yeah, they did. The thing that

00:47:04.599 --> 00:47:06.739
gets me is no matter where Josh Allen's at, he's

00:47:06.739 --> 00:47:10.079
always in a football uniform. He's not as recognizable

00:47:10.079 --> 00:47:11.619
as Mahomes, I guess. You're right. It's like

00:47:11.619 --> 00:47:15.679
they don't think the general public can... tell

00:47:15.679 --> 00:47:18.820
who he is unless he's wearing red red white blue

00:47:18.820 --> 00:47:22.539
jersey yeah yeah yeah and i noticed that the

00:47:22.539 --> 00:47:24.679
other day because when that commercial where

00:47:24.679 --> 00:47:26.539
he's lying in bed i think it's like direct tv

00:47:26.539 --> 00:47:30.159
or something um he's in a football uh uniform

00:47:30.159 --> 00:47:33.300
and then the pistachio commercial he's in a football

00:47:33.300 --> 00:47:35.860
uniform yeah i don't think i've ever seen him

00:47:35.860 --> 00:47:39.500
on a commercial not in a football uniform i was

00:47:39.500 --> 00:47:42.960
trying to remember the cj stroud restaurant commercial

00:47:43.769 --> 00:47:45.510
I think he was wearing a uniform. Buffalo Wild

00:47:45.510 --> 00:47:48.070
Wings. Yeah, he was. But that's weird because,

00:47:48.150 --> 00:47:51.309
I mean, C .J. Stroud's a very recognizable young

00:47:51.309 --> 00:47:53.489
man. I mean, he's got a distinct look around.

00:47:53.630 --> 00:47:55.710
You see him once, you remember who he is. Campbell,

00:47:55.909 --> 00:47:59.510
he's also on there, too. I forgot his first name.

00:47:59.590 --> 00:48:03.309
Campbell. Dan. Dan Campbell. Yeah. The head coach

00:48:03.309 --> 00:48:05.809
of the Lions. Uh -huh. He didn't have a football

00:48:05.809 --> 00:48:09.860
uniform or anything on. No. But we also recognize

00:48:09.860 --> 00:48:11.659
him because we're into football, but I'm not

00:48:11.659 --> 00:48:14.219
sure if anyone might even know who Dan Campbell

00:48:14.219 --> 00:48:17.659
is. Yeah, yeah. But C .J. Stroud, he's wearing

00:48:17.659 --> 00:48:22.619
his uniform, so you know. But not the official

00:48:22.619 --> 00:48:24.340
uniform because then they would have had to pay

00:48:24.340 --> 00:48:26.840
the NFL. And that's the way with number 17 on

00:48:26.840 --> 00:48:29.619
Josh Allen is. You don't see bills on that anywhere.

00:48:29.659 --> 00:48:31.519
You don't see a little buffalo, a little bison

00:48:31.519 --> 00:48:33.980
on the side, nothing. Even all those commercials

00:48:33.980 --> 00:48:37.719
with Mahomes and Kelsey. They were red jerseys,

00:48:37.719 --> 00:48:39.880
but they never said Chiefs on them. They never

00:48:39.880 --> 00:48:42.159
had a logo of any kind. It was all just generic

00:48:42.159 --> 00:48:45.500
stuff. So they don't want to pay them, and I

00:48:45.500 --> 00:48:47.400
don't blame them. That's a lot of money for something

00:48:47.400 --> 00:48:49.099
you don't have to do. Everybody knows who they

00:48:49.099 --> 00:48:53.079
are. Yeah, pretty much. So, yeah. So, all right,

00:48:53.159 --> 00:48:56.360
you got something? Let's look at our predictions.

00:48:58.360 --> 00:49:02.960
You had picked the Patriots, 28 -27. I almost

00:49:02.960 --> 00:49:05.769
picked. I was going to go Seattle, but I... I

00:49:05.769 --> 00:49:09.030
had to do the opposite. Yeah. I picked Seattle

00:49:09.030 --> 00:49:12.710
28 -26. So, on score -wise, we were both completely

00:49:12.710 --> 00:49:17.449
out of it. Yeah. It was a totally different game

00:49:17.449 --> 00:49:19.510
than we expected. I mean, both of us, I think,

00:49:19.530 --> 00:49:22.429
expected a lot more offense and game to go back

00:49:22.429 --> 00:49:26.269
and forth. Yeah. Overall, the general opinion

00:49:26.269 --> 00:49:28.070
I'm getting from a lot of people was that was

00:49:28.070 --> 00:49:31.650
a boring game. Everybody I know was like, I wasted

00:49:31.650 --> 00:49:36.780
my time. Yeah. Strictly speaking, you could have

00:49:36.780 --> 00:49:39.340
tuned in for the fourth quarter and really seen

00:49:39.340 --> 00:49:40.900
all you needed to see. That's all you needed

00:49:40.900 --> 00:49:43.460
to see because, what, 9 -0 until then? Yeah.

00:49:43.940 --> 00:49:47.019
And I'm picturing the NFL who's doing everything

00:49:47.019 --> 00:49:50.039
they can to make sure every Super Bowl is competitive

00:49:50.039 --> 00:49:54.519
and not a blowout. And then they get this defensive

00:49:54.519 --> 00:49:56.940
struggle that's boring everyone to death. They've

00:49:56.940 --> 00:49:58.719
got to be pulling their hair out. What the hell

00:49:58.719 --> 00:50:00.599
do we got to do, man? Oh, I'm sure they're just

00:50:00.599 --> 00:50:04.320
like, damn. Yeah. Because me growing up in the

00:50:04.320 --> 00:50:07.179
early 20s and 30s, pretty much every Super Bowl

00:50:07.179 --> 00:50:09.980
was over by halftime. Yeah. It was just such

00:50:09.980 --> 00:50:12.760
a blowout. And one team was so clearly overmatched,

00:50:12.780 --> 00:50:14.920
it was like, eh. Most people never even bothered

00:50:14.920 --> 00:50:16.920
to tune in for the second half. It was like the

00:50:16.920 --> 00:50:19.820
old Denver Broncos with Dan Reeves. Yeah. No

00:50:19.820 --> 00:50:22.400
defense. So the other team would score like 40

00:50:22.400 --> 00:50:25.300
points in the first half and be 40 to 10 or something.

00:50:25.360 --> 00:50:27.260
It's like, there's nothing to see here. Yeah.

00:50:28.019 --> 00:50:32.969
So. I've got some bullet points. I love bullet

00:50:32.969 --> 00:50:36.010
points. All right, let's do it. Will the NFL

00:50:36.010 --> 00:50:39.030
and its convenient penalties during crucial moments

00:50:39.030 --> 00:50:41.789
catch up with them? I think it will. Yeah, it

00:50:41.789 --> 00:50:44.030
will, but this game actually was not like that.

00:50:44.070 --> 00:50:46.110
They didn't need to. They didn't need to sway

00:50:46.110 --> 00:50:50.210
the game. The game was decided pretty quickly.

00:50:50.590 --> 00:50:52.929
Yeah, but I do think there will come a time when

00:50:52.929 --> 00:50:57.329
it's done in such an obvious fashion and done

00:50:57.329 --> 00:51:00.369
so obviously to help the gambling line that,

00:51:00.880 --> 00:51:03.480
the betting public will rise up and say, uh -uh,

00:51:03.539 --> 00:51:06.139
it's obviously fixed, and we're just not going

00:51:06.139 --> 00:51:09.059
to bet on this anymore because you can take it

00:51:09.059 --> 00:51:12.739
away at any moment. And then the NFL will have

00:51:12.739 --> 00:51:15.440
to figure out what to do next. Gambling is going

00:51:15.440 --> 00:51:17.619
to be their biggest source of revenue. If it

00:51:17.619 --> 00:51:19.840
isn't already, it's going to be. And if they

00:51:19.840 --> 00:51:22.619
keep messing with the outcome of games, the gamblers

00:51:22.619 --> 00:51:25.420
are going to move on. I think they need to cut

00:51:25.420 --> 00:51:27.920
it back considerably. I think they do. Because

00:51:27.920 --> 00:51:30.340
word's out. Everybody I speak to about this agrees

00:51:30.340 --> 00:51:31.780
with it, too. They're like, you know, that's

00:51:31.780 --> 00:51:35.440
true. Yeah. Games going down to the fourth quarter

00:51:35.440 --> 00:51:38.960
late wasn't the norm. No. Now it's almost expected.

00:51:39.179 --> 00:51:43.639
Yeah. How'd that happen? I know how. Non -holding

00:51:43.639 --> 00:51:46.300
call or a holding call. A non -pass interference

00:51:46.300 --> 00:51:49.360
or a pass interference. Yeah. The phantom ones

00:51:49.360 --> 00:51:52.019
were the ones that were ignored. Easy to do.

00:51:52.360 --> 00:51:58.039
And the holding call is opinion -based. It's

00:51:58.039 --> 00:52:00.400
a judgment call. The same with pass interference.

00:52:00.719 --> 00:52:05.699
It's always a judgment call. There was a big

00:52:05.699 --> 00:52:08.159
fight late in the game. Stephon Diggs got hit

00:52:08.159 --> 00:52:10.099
out of bounds, and then he retaliated, and then

00:52:10.099 --> 00:52:12.420
it escalated from there. For once, I agreed with

00:52:12.420 --> 00:52:15.300
Diggs. That was a dirty hit that should have

00:52:15.300 --> 00:52:17.840
never happened. Yeah, and how the guy thought

00:52:17.840 --> 00:52:20.269
he could get away with that. In the stadium full

00:52:20.269 --> 00:52:21.889
of cameras. I don't think he cared. Yeah, I don't

00:52:21.889 --> 00:52:23.130
think he did either. I don't think he cared.

00:52:23.590 --> 00:52:26.389
They had the game won. I think Diggs might have

00:52:26.389 --> 00:52:29.090
been mouthing him the whole game. And he's probably

00:52:29.090 --> 00:52:31.750
like, we won this game. I don't care if I get

00:52:31.750 --> 00:52:34.489
kicked out. And he just drilled him on the sideline.

00:52:34.809 --> 00:52:37.489
So that was kind of a personal thing. That wasn't

00:52:37.489 --> 00:52:39.889
just a statement. That was like a, I remember

00:52:39.889 --> 00:52:42.510
what you said, that type of thing. Or I remember

00:52:42.510 --> 00:52:45.150
you trying to gouge my eyes out. You know, something.

00:52:46.090 --> 00:52:48.570
But at that point, I thought, okay, well, this

00:52:48.570 --> 00:52:50.750
is going to turn into a big deal, and this is

00:52:50.750 --> 00:52:52.329
going to influence the game. This is going to

00:52:52.329 --> 00:52:55.909
let the Patriots back in. And then it all just

00:52:55.909 --> 00:52:58.309
went away. The Patriots had a good drive right

00:52:58.309 --> 00:53:01.309
after that, and they were pumped. But then after

00:53:01.309 --> 00:53:03.610
that, Seattle got right back on top and started

00:53:03.610 --> 00:53:07.409
dominating. I mean, it was over. So I don't think

00:53:07.409 --> 00:53:09.170
they would have got that touchdown if it wasn't

00:53:09.170 --> 00:53:12.550
for the late hit. Because you could see them.

00:53:12.550 --> 00:53:14.070
They fired them up. Yeah, they're like, all right,

00:53:14.070 --> 00:53:17.099
motherfuckers, watch. But that was it. They had

00:53:17.099 --> 00:53:19.280
nothing else to offer because the superior team

00:53:19.280 --> 00:53:22.119
was Seattle, and they took it over again. Now,

00:53:22.119 --> 00:53:25.119
I'm sure all of that, the players are going to

00:53:25.119 --> 00:53:27.340
get fined by the league office because it doesn't

00:53:27.340 --> 00:53:29.119
matter if a penalty was called. The league office

00:53:29.119 --> 00:53:31.619
can fine you if they choose to. And they probably

00:53:31.619 --> 00:53:35.920
will on this. It was so egregious. And one of

00:53:35.920 --> 00:53:37.639
the officials got clobbered, too. He went down.

00:53:37.639 --> 00:53:43.219
Oh, I know. I know. But it just, I would like

00:53:43.219 --> 00:53:47.039
somebody to explain. any kind of reasoning for

00:53:47.039 --> 00:53:49.420
not throwing any flags at all and just letting

00:53:49.420 --> 00:53:51.679
it all go. I mean, that would have been a perfect

00:53:51.679 --> 00:53:56.920
opportunity to eject a key player off the Seattle

00:53:56.920 --> 00:53:59.800
squad, which would let the Patriots back into

00:53:59.800 --> 00:54:02.099
the game. And that's what I expected them to

00:54:02.099 --> 00:54:05.619
do. I did, too. They did not. Yeah. They threw

00:54:05.619 --> 00:54:08.820
the flag. That was it. I never even saw a flag

00:54:08.820 --> 00:54:11.719
get thrown. Was there not a flag thrown? No.

00:54:11.719 --> 00:54:14.659
Then that's bullshit. No wonder Diggs was so

00:54:14.659 --> 00:54:17.039
angry. Yeah. I mean, usually they throw flags

00:54:17.039 --> 00:54:19.000
and they say offsetting and they just pretend

00:54:19.000 --> 00:54:20.940
it never happened. This time it was like they

00:54:20.940 --> 00:54:22.619
just pushed everyone apart and went back on to

00:54:22.619 --> 00:54:25.219
the game. Something like that should not be offsetting

00:54:25.219 --> 00:54:27.500
penalties. If someone hits you that egregious,

00:54:27.500 --> 00:54:29.619
that hard, out of bounds, I think you have the

00:54:29.619 --> 00:54:32.440
right to retaliate. And I think, like in school,

00:54:32.739 --> 00:54:35.059
who threw the first punch, who started it? He

00:54:35.059 --> 00:54:37.420
did. Okay. All right, you're in trouble. This

00:54:37.420 --> 00:54:39.599
guy was defending himself. I think it's the same

00:54:39.599 --> 00:54:41.619
thing in NFL. It should be like the guy that

00:54:41.619 --> 00:54:43.960
perpetrates a crime and not the guy that reacted

00:54:43.960 --> 00:54:48.340
to it. Yeah. I agree. Is Bill Belichick still

00:54:48.340 --> 00:54:53.860
laughing? I think so. I think so, too. Of course,

00:54:53.900 --> 00:54:55.519
then somebody reminds them they didn't make it

00:54:55.519 --> 00:54:57.099
into the Hall of Fame on the first ballot and

00:54:57.099 --> 00:54:59.000
never will on the first ballot. Oh, no, no, no.

00:54:59.000 --> 00:55:00.980
That's what I'm saying. It's gone forever. That's

00:55:00.980 --> 00:55:02.980
a warm feeling in his tummy. You know that. Oh,

00:55:02.980 --> 00:55:05.340
yes, not me. Let's see how well your boy Mike

00:55:05.340 --> 00:55:10.000
Bray will do now. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. You know, Bill

00:55:10.000 --> 00:55:12.380
Belichick said, I would have won that game. I

00:55:12.380 --> 00:55:13.760
would have won that game, bitches. He's probably

00:55:13.760 --> 00:55:16.340
telling everybody he knows. Yes, he is. Here's

00:55:16.340 --> 00:55:19.099
how I would have won that. Yes. She's like, right,

00:55:19.239 --> 00:55:21.300
right, Bill, right. I'm going to buy this new

00:55:21.300 --> 00:55:27.179
outfit. Yeah, sure, whatever. So, all right.

00:55:27.579 --> 00:55:30.119
Which Super Bowl team this year will be back

00:55:30.119 --> 00:55:33.019
for another run next year? Seattle. Seattle.

00:55:33.400 --> 00:55:36.199
I don't think New England's got. They're going

00:55:36.199 --> 00:55:38.280
to get stopped well short. Yeah. I mean, they've

00:55:38.280 --> 00:55:40.340
got a chance, of course, but it doesn't look

00:55:40.340 --> 00:55:43.360
all that good right now. Of course, this can

00:55:43.360 --> 00:55:47.159
change because of rosters. Yeah. Yeah, we still

00:55:47.159 --> 00:55:49.280
have the whole free agency period and the draft

00:55:49.280 --> 00:55:53.119
and the trades and players getting hurt and all

00:55:53.119 --> 00:55:55.980
that stuff, but I just don't get the feeling

00:55:55.980 --> 00:55:59.400
that the Patriots are on that much of an upswing

00:55:59.400 --> 00:56:03.599
yet. They're improving. But as you were saying

00:56:03.599 --> 00:56:05.579
earlier, I think they got farther this year than

00:56:05.579 --> 00:56:08.559
their talent really should have let them get.

00:56:08.739 --> 00:56:12.420
I agree, yeah. So I think it was a combination

00:56:12.420 --> 00:56:16.400
of coaching them up and some good luck, good

00:56:16.400 --> 00:56:18.920
fortune like we talked about. Bo Nix injury and

00:56:18.920 --> 00:56:20.800
then the weather in Denver, which pretty much

00:56:20.800 --> 00:56:24.400
evened out both teams. Yeah, it was a bonafide

00:56:24.400 --> 00:56:27.550
snowstorm. Yeah. It was just all this luck, really.

00:56:27.730 --> 00:56:29.869
I mean, yeah, you know, they deserved to be in

00:56:29.869 --> 00:56:31.510
the championship game. I'll give them that. But

00:56:31.510 --> 00:56:34.349
other than that, I don't know. Yeah. How about

00:56:34.349 --> 00:56:36.769
what perennial winner that missed the playoffs

00:56:36.769 --> 00:56:39.570
this season, playoffs now, will be back next

00:56:39.570 --> 00:56:43.190
season? Chiefs. Yep, Chiefs. What about the Eagles?

00:56:45.110 --> 00:56:47.329
I think they'll make it, but they'll do an early

00:56:47.329 --> 00:56:49.269
exit like they did this year. Yeah, yeah. I'm

00:56:49.269 --> 00:56:52.530
kind of wondering if the Giants are not going

00:56:52.530 --> 00:56:54.960
to take over that division next season. I think

00:56:54.960 --> 00:56:57.360
between the Giants and the Cowboys, I think the

00:56:57.360 --> 00:56:59.880
Eagles are going to have a tough time. Brian

00:56:59.880 --> 00:57:02.559
Schottenheimer, I owe him an apology. I laughed

00:57:02.559 --> 00:57:06.320
when they hired him as a head coach. But then

00:57:06.320 --> 00:57:08.480
after I got to seeing some of his coaching, I

00:57:08.480 --> 00:57:10.659
was like, oh, here, you can have this if you

00:57:10.659 --> 00:57:11.860
want. There's a couple of fries. I didn't want

00:57:11.860 --> 00:57:13.840
to take it if you're still working. No, we're

00:57:13.840 --> 00:57:15.980
cool. Thank you, though. Those fries are pretty

00:57:15.980 --> 00:57:18.420
sacred, though. Yeah. Thank you. And so crispy

00:57:18.420 --> 00:57:21.340
coating on them. Yeah, that stuff is amazing.

00:57:23.460 --> 00:57:28.500
Great texture. Oh, it is. Let's see. Where was

00:57:28.500 --> 00:57:32.019
I? Yeah, yeah, okay. The Cowboys and the Giants

00:57:32.019 --> 00:57:34.340
are going to be emerging. John Harbaugh has never

00:57:34.340 --> 00:57:36.139
been anywhere where he has not been a success.

00:57:36.239 --> 00:57:41.880
I expect the same there. I think the Jets are

00:57:41.880 --> 00:57:44.760
going to look across the street to the Giants

00:57:44.760 --> 00:57:47.440
and say, huh, how come they're doing so much

00:57:47.440 --> 00:57:50.280
better and we're still sucking canal water over

00:57:50.280 --> 00:57:53.960
here? Until they get new ownership, I don't think

00:57:53.960 --> 00:57:56.320
they have a chance. Yeah, or at least get the

00:57:56.320 --> 00:57:58.940
owner to sign over control of the team to somebody

00:57:58.940 --> 00:58:00.900
who's got more than a couple active brains out.

00:58:00.900 --> 00:58:03.659
He needs a strong general manager to say, nope,

00:58:03.760 --> 00:58:07.400
we're going to do this, and you stay out of it.

00:58:07.400 --> 00:58:09.579
You go back to your businesses, not this one.

00:58:10.420 --> 00:58:14.260
So, now, will Sam Darnall get the respect among

00:58:14.260 --> 00:58:18.300
common fans? I think so. I think so. He did a

00:58:18.300 --> 00:58:21.530
really good job. Played his brains out. Didn't

00:58:21.530 --> 00:58:23.949
make any mistakes. I wasn't a fan. I thought

00:58:23.949 --> 00:58:27.849
that he was being Sam Darnold. Yeah. No? No?

00:58:27.989 --> 00:58:30.510
Yeah, that last drive he had against the Rams

00:58:30.510 --> 00:58:32.750
in the championship game was really impressive.

00:58:32.769 --> 00:58:35.050
That swayed me. I'm like, this guy is playing

00:58:35.050 --> 00:58:37.130
out of his mind. Yeah, and then this whole Super

00:58:37.130 --> 00:58:39.309
Bowl was impressive. I mean, he never seemed

00:58:39.309 --> 00:58:42.369
to really get rattled or off of his game plan.

00:58:42.610 --> 00:58:45.929
He never seemed to lose his confidence. He was

00:58:45.929 --> 00:58:47.750
just like, yep, we're going to do this. We're

00:58:47.750 --> 00:58:51.059
going to do this. That was another big thing.

00:58:51.079 --> 00:58:53.300
The Seahawks looked confident on both sides of

00:58:53.300 --> 00:58:57.280
the ball. Defense looked really confident. The

00:58:57.280 --> 00:58:59.760
Patriots did not have that confident swagger.

00:59:00.039 --> 00:59:02.760
Yeah, no, they did not. They came in tiptoeing

00:59:02.760 --> 00:59:05.900
when Seattle came in stomping. Yes. And you could

00:59:05.900 --> 00:59:07.840
see it from the start. I mean, actually, I mean,

00:59:07.840 --> 00:59:13.340
was it not there? Yeah. Yeah, so. Al Michaels

00:59:13.340 --> 00:59:16.079
is coming back for another season. Wow. I know.

00:59:16.139 --> 00:59:21.679
Is this good or should he hang it up? I'm okay

00:59:21.679 --> 00:59:22.920
with him coming back. I enjoy him. He's fine.

00:59:23.019 --> 00:59:25.159
He's still fun. He's still interesting. He's

00:59:25.159 --> 00:59:28.320
not Walt Bodine yet. No, no, no. He's not saying

00:59:28.320 --> 00:59:30.639
things that don't make sense either. He's actually

00:59:30.639 --> 00:59:33.940
very informative still. I'm like as long as he

00:59:33.940 --> 00:59:35.460
can maintain me. Slopping and sucking his ventures.

00:59:36.239 --> 00:59:40.320
That was so bad. Oh, my God. You listened to

00:59:40.320 --> 00:59:44.500
Roy Orbison's last album? Oh, yeah. Mystery Girl.

00:59:44.619 --> 00:59:46.539
And, man, you can hear his teeth sliding around

00:59:46.539 --> 00:59:48.400
on every song. Oh, I know. It's just all that

00:59:48.400 --> 00:59:50.619
poor guy. They should have done more to edit

00:59:50.619 --> 00:59:54.820
that out, but, yeah. Yeah. Oh, look at that little

00:59:54.820 --> 00:59:56.519
chihuahua. Yeah, it's a cute little baby. There

00:59:56.519 --> 01:00:02.800
he is. So, anyhow, yeah, all right. We've got

01:00:02.800 --> 01:00:03.880
a podcast. We're going to sit here and stare

01:00:03.880 --> 01:00:08.659
at the dog. I know, yeah. We're dog fans. Anyhow,

01:00:08.679 --> 01:00:12.179
let's see. Where was I? Okay, Al Michaels, good

01:00:12.179 --> 01:00:17.780
thing. Will ESPN be around in 10 years? You know,

01:00:17.820 --> 01:00:20.840
I really don't think so. I think they started

01:00:20.840 --> 01:00:25.519
as the sports source for everything, but now

01:00:25.519 --> 01:00:27.960
there's so many channels, and so many of those

01:00:27.960 --> 01:00:32.260
channels do it better than ESPN. And people are

01:00:32.260 --> 01:00:34.380
okay going to a channel to get just their football,

01:00:34.760 --> 01:00:37.219
another channel to get just their baseball, et

01:00:37.219 --> 01:00:40.019
cetera, et cetera. So ESPN tries to cover it

01:00:40.019 --> 01:00:42.619
all and does not very good on everything. I could

01:00:42.619 --> 01:00:48.639
see ESPN doing MTV, NFL Cribs. Yes. And they

01:00:48.639 --> 01:00:51.380
already, to a degree, are doing some of these

01:00:51.380 --> 01:00:57.869
real -life stuff, some of these. around the fringes

01:00:57.869 --> 01:01:00.309
of the actual game. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like,

01:01:00.309 --> 01:01:03.429
let's follow Kirk Cousins around. Let's follow

01:01:03.429 --> 01:01:06.269
Patrick Mahomes around. They're already starting

01:01:06.269 --> 01:01:09.889
to do some of that really not football, but more

01:01:09.889 --> 01:01:14.110
like entertainment. It's kind of telling to me

01:01:14.110 --> 01:01:16.489
that they're hanging on to Chris Berman long

01:01:16.489 --> 01:01:20.019
after anybody cares. Yes. But that's really all,

01:01:20.119 --> 01:01:22.300
there's like, oh, legacy. Well, no one cares

01:01:22.300 --> 01:01:24.480
about it but you. So how is that really helping

01:01:24.480 --> 01:01:26.440
you? To me, if they were really that interested

01:01:26.440 --> 01:01:29.199
in it, they'd be grooming people up. Yeah. But

01:01:29.199 --> 01:01:31.380
it seems like a lot of their ancillary shows,

01:01:31.519 --> 01:01:33.260
like Good Morning Football and stuff like that,

01:01:33.280 --> 01:01:35.659
they're going in whoever will take the job. Yeah.

01:01:36.199 --> 01:01:39.119
So it's not like they're, like, riveting. Yeah.

01:01:39.179 --> 01:01:41.360
It's just kind of like, well. I think ESPN's

01:01:41.360 --> 01:01:43.500
version is called Get Up. Get Up, that's it.

01:01:43.599 --> 01:01:45.800
Yeah, Good Morning Football. That's on the NFL

01:01:45.800 --> 01:01:48.599
channel. And it has basically almost nothing

01:01:48.599 --> 01:01:51.079
to do with football. It's just kind of one of

01:01:51.079 --> 01:01:52.820
those morning chat shows where they all talk

01:01:52.820 --> 01:01:54.420
about what they did over the weekend. You might

01:01:54.420 --> 01:01:56.539
as well listen to the radio. It's the same type

01:01:56.539 --> 01:02:00.500
of format. Someone says something, and then everyone

01:02:00.500 --> 01:02:03.280
else is like, oh, no, no. And everyone talks

01:02:03.280 --> 01:02:09.949
all at once. Yes. All right. Will. Football will

01:02:09.949 --> 01:02:13.409
still be king in 20 years. No. I don't think

01:02:13.409 --> 01:02:15.289
so. Soccer is going to take it over. It already

01:02:15.289 --> 01:02:18.269
kind of has. Look at the World Cup. Oh, my gosh.

01:02:18.269 --> 01:02:20.670
You can't quit hearing about that. Yeah, yeah.

01:02:20.869 --> 01:02:23.909
They're coming here to Kansas City to play, and

01:02:23.909 --> 01:02:26.269
I don't think I've ever heard this much buzz

01:02:26.269 --> 01:02:28.670
about anything. There are so many people getting

01:02:28.670 --> 01:02:31.269
excited about the idea of renting out their guest

01:02:31.269 --> 01:02:33.110
room to some of the people that are coming. You

01:02:33.110 --> 01:02:35.030
can make like $30 ,000 over the course of the

01:02:35.030 --> 01:02:38.530
World Cup. Letting people stay in your house,

01:02:38.610 --> 01:02:39.949
of course, you know, they're going to rip you

01:02:39.949 --> 01:02:42.309
off and probably rape you in your sleep. You

01:02:42.309 --> 01:02:44.989
know, you get $30 ,000, okay? You've got to weigh

01:02:44.989 --> 01:02:48.949
the scale. If you don't mind that and you want

01:02:48.949 --> 01:02:52.710
that $30 ,000, it's open. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I

01:02:52.710 --> 01:02:55.869
suggest Orogel. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, for your

01:02:55.869 --> 01:02:58.949
asshole. Yeah, nice numbing. Yeah, nice numbing.

01:02:58.969 --> 01:03:01.329
Or if you can get cocaine or liquid cocaine,

01:03:01.469 --> 01:03:04.889
I'd go with that. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Or Novocaine.

01:03:05.380 --> 01:03:07.300
But, all right, all right, we're going to go

01:03:07.300 --> 01:03:11.079
on from there. Yeah, I can see the NFL not able

01:03:11.079 --> 01:03:13.519
to handle the gambling aspect and then just falling

01:03:13.519 --> 01:03:17.820
into becoming what the WWE is. They kind of are.

01:03:18.000 --> 01:03:20.500
Yeah, it's going to be all flash and characters

01:03:20.500 --> 01:03:23.400
and wild attitudes and screaming announcers.

01:03:23.860 --> 01:03:26.659
I'm looking for a he -hate -me. Yeah. I'm looking

01:03:26.659 --> 01:03:30.940
for a guy to rip off his back name. Yeah. Yeah.

01:03:31.280 --> 01:03:34.519
Yeah, the NFL is going to continue to get more.

01:03:35.429 --> 01:03:37.829
childish and immature and outrageous, and they're

01:03:37.829 --> 01:03:40.030
going to start acting like minor league baseball

01:03:40.030 --> 01:03:43.030
teams. They're going to be the Savannah Bananas

01:03:43.030 --> 01:03:46.650
of football, yeah. And that will be fine as long

01:03:46.650 --> 01:03:48.769
as people can still bet on it and want to bet

01:03:48.769 --> 01:03:51.170
on it. But if something else comes along and

01:03:51.170 --> 01:03:53.230
they think that's better to bet on, that's what

01:03:53.230 --> 01:03:58.550
they'll go for. I agree. I agree. Mr. Dolphinstein.

01:04:03.220 --> 01:04:08.420
Yes, very much so. CIA operative. Don't look

01:04:08.420 --> 01:04:15.519
at him. All right. Should the NFL develop a minor

01:04:15.519 --> 01:04:19.940
league? I think they really should. I don't know

01:04:19.940 --> 01:04:21.900
that they ever will because it would cost them

01:04:21.900 --> 01:04:24.820
money, and then it's another headache that they've

01:04:24.820 --> 01:04:27.179
got to oversee and hope that it doesn't damage

01:04:27.179 --> 01:04:29.639
their reputation. But I think overall it would

01:04:29.639 --> 01:04:32.929
be so much more helpful. to the NFL to have a

01:04:32.929 --> 01:04:35.710
minor league that they can send, you know, not

01:04:35.710 --> 01:04:39.409
only draft players from, but send players down

01:04:39.409 --> 01:04:42.369
to the way they do in baseball. It's like, you

01:04:42.369 --> 01:04:44.269
know, this quarterback ain't working out. We're

01:04:44.269 --> 01:04:45.929
going to send you back down to the minor league.

01:04:45.949 --> 01:04:47.650
We're going to develop you a little bit more

01:04:47.650 --> 01:04:49.070
down there. You're going to come up like I do

01:04:49.070 --> 01:04:51.469
pitchers in major league baseball. It's like

01:04:51.469 --> 01:04:54.329
he's got the stuff, but he doesn't have the mindset.

01:04:54.329 --> 01:04:56.710
We need him to play so many innings and come

01:04:56.710 --> 01:05:00.780
back. Yeah. Same thing. Yeah. If they do do this,

01:05:00.880 --> 01:05:03.420
would the UFL be the obvious choice? I think

01:05:03.420 --> 01:05:05.380
so. And they don't even have to play by the same

01:05:05.380 --> 01:05:07.679
rules because college has different rules than

01:05:07.679 --> 01:05:09.480
the NFL. You want to see what they're capable

01:05:09.480 --> 01:05:12.280
of. It doesn't depend on, you know, they're still

01:05:12.280 --> 01:05:13.900
running up and down the field with the football

01:05:13.900 --> 01:05:16.079
and trying to sack people, so that's what counts.

01:05:16.239 --> 01:05:19.079
Don't make it arena football, but a modified

01:05:19.079 --> 01:05:21.699
version of the NFL game is perfectly fine for

01:05:21.699 --> 01:05:24.300
the minor leagues. Yeah, and honestly, you don't

01:05:24.300 --> 01:05:26.119
want it to be just like the NFL because it's

01:05:26.119 --> 01:05:28.539
an inferior product, so you have to change it.

01:05:28.730 --> 01:05:31.889
to not be so obvious. Limit the blitzing, like,

01:05:31.989 --> 01:05:34.230
you know, one blitz, you know, one blitzer per

01:05:34.230 --> 01:05:36.849
play. You can't blitz like five. Yeah, yeah,

01:05:36.909 --> 01:05:39.289
and that would be fine. I think that would be

01:05:39.289 --> 01:05:41.849
good because it would not be quite the same game.

01:05:42.050 --> 01:05:44.789
And if it's not quite the same game, you're more

01:05:44.789 --> 01:05:47.809
apt to watch it being lesser talent. Yeah, yeah.

01:05:48.090 --> 01:05:52.030
So, all right. What about college? Will a minor

01:05:52.030 --> 01:05:55.329
league hurt athletes' enrollment? I think so.

01:05:55.710 --> 01:05:58.269
Yeah, to some degree, I think so. They might

01:05:58.269 --> 01:06:01.210
go back later and get their degree. Yeah, and

01:06:01.210 --> 01:06:06.710
I could see players that are sure they're going

01:06:06.710 --> 01:06:10.010
to get drafted high, staying in college and going

01:06:10.010 --> 01:06:11.929
in for the draft, but then other players who

01:06:11.929 --> 01:06:13.389
really don't know whether they're going to get

01:06:13.389 --> 01:06:16.550
drafted or not, maybe giving up their scholarship.

01:06:17.280 --> 01:06:19.780
a year or two early so that way someone else

01:06:19.780 --> 01:06:21.840
gets a chance for that scholarship and then they

01:06:21.840 --> 01:06:23.920
go to the minors. And they're going to go, I'm

01:06:23.920 --> 01:06:26.159
going to go ahead and enter the minors. I don't

01:06:26.159 --> 01:06:27.980
think I'm going to need my degree, but it's there

01:06:27.980 --> 01:06:30.239
if I need to. And the university would love it

01:06:30.239 --> 01:06:32.099
because that frees up a scholarship to go find

01:06:32.099 --> 01:06:32.880
somebody else. Yeah, and they get someone else

01:06:32.880 --> 01:06:37.079
in. And if you've been on the team as the number

01:06:37.079 --> 01:06:38.980
four running back and you've never started and

01:06:38.980 --> 01:06:40.840
you're never going to, why would you stick around

01:06:40.840 --> 01:06:43.719
for your fifth year? Yeah, no, you wouldn't.

01:06:43.719 --> 01:06:47.730
You'd just be like, nope. Will alternative halftime

01:06:47.730 --> 01:06:50.610
shows be the normal? Yeah. I'm going to see it

01:06:50.610 --> 01:06:53.530
start creeping into the regular season. The halftime

01:06:53.530 --> 01:06:57.250
show is instead of cutting away to the talking

01:06:57.250 --> 01:06:59.030
heads in the studio, there's going to be some

01:06:59.030 --> 01:07:01.570
outrageous performance for five or ten minutes,

01:07:01.650 --> 01:07:03.710
and then they'll cut away to the studio. Yes.

01:07:03.710 --> 01:07:06.630
Yep. Miley Cyrus has already been announced for

01:07:06.630 --> 01:07:10.269
next year. Yeah. Halftime show. Okay. So look

01:07:10.269 --> 01:07:13.210
for alternative programming there, too. It's...

01:07:13.500 --> 01:07:15.679
Pretty telling that they announced it so early.

01:07:15.760 --> 01:07:17.860
Normally they don't announce until well into

01:07:17.860 --> 01:07:21.079
the season, but they wanted to wash the taste

01:07:21.079 --> 01:07:23.019
of bad money out of everybody's minds. I think

01:07:23.019 --> 01:07:26.099
so. I think the NFL is realizing that it didn't

01:07:26.099 --> 01:07:27.960
work out nearly the way they thought it would.

01:07:28.159 --> 01:07:30.119
They have a hell of a lot more English -speaking

01:07:30.119 --> 01:07:33.519
people than they thought watching them. Realistically

01:07:33.519 --> 01:07:37.699
speaking, if it's... If it's not inclusive to

01:07:37.699 --> 01:07:40.639
have the broadcast in one single language, how

01:07:40.639 --> 01:07:42.820
is it better to have it in a different single

01:07:42.820 --> 01:07:44.699
language that not everyone speaks? No, it was

01:07:44.699 --> 01:07:46.840
ridiculous. It's like, oh, not everyone speaks

01:07:46.840 --> 01:07:48.739
this language, so let's put it in a different

01:07:48.739 --> 01:07:51.079
language that not everyone speaks. How is that

01:07:51.079 --> 01:07:53.480
better? No, it isn't. It's the same thing. It

01:07:53.480 --> 01:07:55.239
is exactly the same thing. The same thing rewritten.

01:07:55.400 --> 01:07:57.860
Yeah. So I think they stepped on their dicks

01:07:57.860 --> 01:07:59.920
on this one. It's more virtue signaling by the

01:07:59.920 --> 01:08:02.900
NFL. It is. It is. Like, we love Hispanic people,

01:08:02.980 --> 01:08:04.380
then we're going to do a whole halftime show

01:08:04.380 --> 01:08:06.809
in the Spanish language. But then all the people

01:08:06.809 --> 01:08:09.750
like us, and I have nothing against the Hispanic

01:08:09.750 --> 01:08:11.730
people. I mean, it should have been like half

01:08:11.730 --> 01:08:13.230
and half or something. That would have been fine

01:08:13.230 --> 01:08:15.590
with me. But the thing is this right here. If

01:08:15.590 --> 01:08:17.130
you're going to exclude the people that brought

01:08:17.130 --> 01:08:19.590
you there, you're going to take a dump on them.

01:08:20.770 --> 01:08:23.510
That's not good. And I hear a lot of people going,

01:08:23.590 --> 01:08:26.210
fuck the NFL. I hear a lot of people going, I'm

01:08:26.210 --> 01:08:27.449
not going to have anything to do with them ever

01:08:27.449 --> 01:08:30.609
again. Yeah. And I believe them. When it gets

01:08:30.609 --> 01:08:32.289
to the point where they're starting to shove

01:08:32.289 --> 01:08:35.010
things in your face. Yep. People are like, no,

01:08:35.069 --> 01:08:37.630
I don't want that anymore. It's interesting to

01:08:37.630 --> 01:08:40.710
note that if you live in Spain and you speak

01:08:40.710 --> 01:08:44.130
Spanish, that's your native language. If you

01:08:44.130 --> 01:08:46.569
live anywhere else in the world and speak Spanish,

01:08:46.649 --> 01:08:48.689
you're speaking the language of your conquerors

01:08:48.689 --> 01:08:51.970
who came in and took your language and culture

01:08:51.970 --> 01:08:54.810
away and substituted their own. That is such

01:08:54.810 --> 01:08:56.010
a good point. And you're still speaking their

01:08:56.010 --> 01:08:58.529
language, aren't you? And you embrace the culture

01:08:58.529 --> 01:09:00.590
that took you. Yep, you're speaking the language

01:09:00.590 --> 01:09:02.229
of your conquerors. Oh, are you saying that's

01:09:02.229 --> 01:09:04.829
stolen land? Because the people in Mexico used

01:09:04.829 --> 01:09:06.670
to speak totally different language before the

01:09:06.670 --> 01:09:09.590
Spanish came over and basically destroyed their

01:09:09.590 --> 01:09:11.750
culture and their way of living and said, nope,

01:09:11.829 --> 01:09:14.569
now you have to believe in our God and come to

01:09:14.569 --> 01:09:18.029
our schools and learn our language. And suddenly

01:09:18.029 --> 01:09:20.869
now that's their culture and history? No, that

01:09:20.869 --> 01:09:23.409
was what was forced on you by the Spanish conquerors,

01:09:23.409 --> 01:09:26.229
by the white people from Europe. Yeah. Sounds

01:09:26.229 --> 01:09:30.130
like stolen land to me. Yep. Yep. Stolen culture.

01:09:30.829 --> 01:09:34.489
Stolen culture. It's odd to see all these people

01:09:34.489 --> 01:09:37.289
who have had a language forced and a religion

01:09:37.289 --> 01:09:42.149
forced on them by gunpoint and threat of violence,

01:09:42.329 --> 01:09:44.229
and now it's like, oh, well, this is who we are.

01:09:44.350 --> 01:09:46.850
No, that's what you were turned into against

01:09:46.850 --> 01:09:49.670
your will. We don't know who you really are.

01:09:50.029 --> 01:09:52.779
But if this is what you want to be, then... Quit

01:09:52.779 --> 01:09:54.560
complaining when other people do it. Exactly.

01:09:54.760 --> 01:09:56.380
That's it right there. I have nothing against

01:09:56.380 --> 01:09:58.500
you embracing it, but quit complaining about

01:09:58.500 --> 01:10:00.899
everyone else. It's like all the people in India

01:10:00.899 --> 01:10:03.560
who speak English. They were your conquerors.

01:10:03.560 --> 01:10:05.800
They came in and raped your country, basically,

01:10:05.800 --> 01:10:08.300
and gave you this language, and you still speak

01:10:08.300 --> 01:10:10.699
it. You're like, okay, fine, whatever. Whatever,

01:10:11.020 --> 01:10:14.479
yeah. I don't get it. And I still want to do

01:10:14.479 --> 01:10:17.300
the You First initiative. Anybody that has a

01:10:17.300 --> 01:10:20.399
problem with being on stolen land, give yours

01:10:20.399 --> 01:10:23.359
back first, and then I'll negotiate. But until

01:10:23.359 --> 01:10:26.359
then, shut up. It's like I told a friend of mine,

01:10:26.439 --> 01:10:28.920
we should redistribute wealth. I said, start

01:10:28.920 --> 01:10:32.079
with yours. Because you've got this nice house,

01:10:32.180 --> 01:10:34.119
you've got three cars, you've got all the money

01:10:34.119 --> 01:10:37.119
you need, and you can drive 50 miles and find

01:10:37.119 --> 01:10:40.779
somebody who has nothing. So you should sell

01:10:40.779 --> 01:10:43.600
all this and give your money away to those people

01:10:43.600 --> 01:10:46.279
who have nothing. Yeah, well, okay, let's say

01:10:46.279 --> 01:10:47.840
we're going to be the judge because everyone

01:10:47.840 --> 01:10:50.220
judges everybody. I'm the judge. You have too

01:10:50.220 --> 01:10:52.060
much. You've got to give some of it up. Yep.

01:10:53.060 --> 01:10:55.300
No, no, no, I meant the millionaires. No, no,

01:10:55.359 --> 01:10:57.659
no. It's everybody. No, everybody. Anybody who

01:10:57.659 --> 01:10:59.619
has less than you, you need to give something

01:10:59.619 --> 01:11:02.399
to. Yes. Because that's redistributing. Yep,

01:11:02.420 --> 01:11:05.100
yeah. Well, it doesn't mean anything if you can't

01:11:05.100 --> 01:11:07.119
force everyone else to do it, and there's the

01:11:07.119 --> 01:11:09.079
key. That's the key, trying to get out. It's

01:11:09.079 --> 01:11:11.000
like, I just want to make everyone else live

01:11:11.000 --> 01:11:13.840
by my ideas. Well, let's start with forcing you,

01:11:14.000 --> 01:11:16.800
and then we'll try to force everybody else. Yeah,

01:11:16.800 --> 01:11:20.520
they've got nothing. They've got nothing. It's

01:11:20.520 --> 01:11:26.180
pretty funny. Yeah. Okay. This one is interesting,

01:11:26.300 --> 01:11:28.720
and I want you to think about it for a while

01:11:28.720 --> 01:11:31.119
and give the honest answer you think you can.

01:11:31.260 --> 01:11:33.920
Okay. Because it's easy to think one thing and

01:11:33.920 --> 01:11:36.859
go with it. So, if Josh Allen was drafted by

01:11:36.859 --> 01:11:39.899
the Chiefs and Andy Reid, would he have at least

01:11:39.899 --> 01:11:47.680
one ring? Or is his heart his heart? You know,

01:11:47.720 --> 01:11:49.380
that's just what I was trying to think of. Does

01:11:49.380 --> 01:11:53.039
he have the heart that Mahomes has to go through

01:11:53.039 --> 01:11:55.140
what Mahomes did in order to get the ring? And

01:11:55.140 --> 01:11:57.760
I've got to say no. I'm going to have to say

01:11:57.760 --> 01:12:00.779
no as well, but I also have a caveat on that

01:12:00.779 --> 01:12:04.939
too. Yeah. The 13 -second game. Yeah. That was

01:12:04.939 --> 01:12:07.500
not his fault. No. He did everything he could.

01:12:07.939 --> 01:12:10.960
It's just when you have Hill and Kelsey running

01:12:10.960 --> 01:12:15.539
wild on your team. They're really hard to account

01:12:15.539 --> 01:12:18.039
for. You might shut one of them down, but you're

01:12:18.039 --> 01:12:19.619
not shutting both of them down, and that's what

01:12:19.619 --> 01:12:23.340
happened. When he came out with 13 seconds left,

01:12:23.399 --> 01:12:25.600
he had a smile. He's like, this is what I live

01:12:25.600 --> 01:12:29.520
for, and I have the two guys I need. And then

01:12:29.520 --> 01:12:32.579
I compare that to Josh Allen, who has a well

01:12:32.579 --> 01:12:37.229
-deserved reputation for taking a flop. If somebody

01:12:37.229 --> 01:12:39.770
just brushes him slightly, he'll fling himself

01:12:39.770 --> 01:12:42.829
to the ground and scream in pain, and then whine

01:12:42.829 --> 01:12:45.430
to the official, Throw a flag, man! Did you see

01:12:45.430 --> 01:12:48.350
that? He hit me, man! Throw a flag! I've never

01:12:48.350 --> 01:12:52.130
seen Mahomes do something that whiny and childish.

01:12:52.550 --> 01:12:57.109
No, no, I agree. Mahomes takes it like a strong,

01:12:57.130 --> 01:13:00.050
confident, secure person would take it. He's

01:13:00.050 --> 01:13:02.170
like, alright, that's part of the game. Alright,

01:13:02.329 --> 01:13:03.750
and then he'll talk to the player and say, hey

01:13:03.750 --> 01:13:05.090
man, that ain't cool, you hit me in the head.

01:13:05.479 --> 01:13:06.739
You can hit me, but don't hit me in the head.

01:13:06.979 --> 01:13:10.920
Josh Allen would be on the ground whining and

01:13:10.920 --> 01:13:13.119
crying and begging the official to throw a flag.

01:13:13.159 --> 01:13:15.199
That might be why he gets hit harder than any

01:13:15.199 --> 01:13:17.279
other quarterback, too. Yeah, and he certainly

01:13:17.279 --> 01:13:21.520
loses respect. Yes. So I don't know that Josh

01:13:21.520 --> 01:13:24.060
Allen really has the heart to stand in there

01:13:24.060 --> 01:13:26.659
and take the physical punishment without whining

01:13:26.659 --> 01:13:29.479
to daddy. I think that, okay, the 13 -second

01:13:29.479 --> 01:13:31.760
thing went wrong, right? Yeah. But I think that

01:13:31.760 --> 01:13:33.920
it would have went wrong anywhere. And it's like

01:13:33.920 --> 01:13:37.420
you said, exactly like you said, he doesn't have

01:13:37.420 --> 01:13:41.420
that it to get it done. You've got to believe

01:13:41.420 --> 01:13:46.079
that your genetic material is vastly superior

01:13:46.079 --> 01:13:48.899
to everyone else's genetic material. And the

01:13:48.899 --> 01:13:50.939
two little balls in your sack where the genetic

01:13:50.939 --> 01:13:53.199
material comes from, those are bigger than everyone

01:13:53.199 --> 01:13:58.680
else's. And that's what Mahomes believes when

01:13:58.680 --> 01:14:00.760
he's on that field, that nobody can beat him.

01:14:01.520 --> 01:14:04.300
I agree. Josh Allen, I don't know that he thinks

01:14:04.300 --> 01:14:13.819
that. I agree. Yep. You got something? Mmm. Let's

01:14:13.819 --> 01:14:17.260
talk about throwback jerseys and alternate journeys.

01:14:17.560 --> 01:14:23.100
Cool. Currently, it seems, I'm not sure about

01:14:23.100 --> 01:14:25.220
this, but it seems like every team can have pretty

01:14:25.220 --> 01:14:29.520
much as many alternate jerseys as they want.

01:14:29.960 --> 01:14:33.180
The throwbacks and the color rush and the alternate

01:14:33.180 --> 01:14:38.640
color rush and the 2010 anniversary away option

01:14:38.640 --> 01:14:40.380
and just, you know, whatever they want to do.

01:14:41.819 --> 01:14:44.960
But they don't allow them to wear those in the

01:14:44.960 --> 01:14:48.640
postseason. Uh -huh. I think that's going to

01:14:48.640 --> 01:14:52.859
change. I think so. I think that all the alternate

01:14:52.859 --> 01:14:54.840
and the color rush and the various other things,

01:14:55.100 --> 01:14:58.319
they're going to allow a few of those in the

01:14:58.319 --> 01:15:03.220
postseason. And I think I can see them changing

01:15:03.220 --> 01:15:06.399
every game. It's like if they play in the wild

01:15:06.399 --> 01:15:08.640
card, they're going to wear their, like the Houston

01:15:08.640 --> 01:15:11.479
Texans alternate red jerseys with the H on it.

01:15:11.560 --> 01:15:14.100
Yeah, because they want people to buy the same

01:15:14.100 --> 01:15:16.899
jersey a hundred times. And how do you do that?

01:15:16.939 --> 01:15:19.380
It can't be the same jersey. They already have

01:15:19.380 --> 01:15:21.539
home and away, so they got those two. So now

01:15:21.539 --> 01:15:23.340
they got to go with something different. So that's

01:15:23.340 --> 01:15:25.520
where you're seeing all these alternate and celebration

01:15:25.520 --> 01:15:29.300
jerseys and special one -offs and all that. And

01:15:29.300 --> 01:15:32.079
the marketing potential is awesome for the playoffs.

01:15:32.560 --> 01:15:35.319
Playoffs. Because, say, your favorite team wears

01:15:35.319 --> 01:15:38.840
this bizarre throwback, color rush, ultimate

01:15:38.840 --> 01:15:41.640
jersey, and they win. Suddenly, that's their

01:15:41.640 --> 01:15:44.159
new lucky jersey, and everyone runs out and buys

01:15:44.159 --> 01:15:46.699
one. And then they don't wear it the next game,

01:15:46.739 --> 01:15:48.699
and you lose your mind because they don't win

01:15:48.699 --> 01:15:50.340
the game. You're like, oh, you should have worn

01:15:50.340 --> 01:15:53.300
that lucky jersey. I mean, it's the marketing

01:15:53.300 --> 01:15:58.649
bonanza. Yeah. So far, they don't. allow the

01:15:58.649 --> 01:16:00.970
alternate jerseys because they want people to

01:16:00.970 --> 01:16:03.189
tune in and say, okay, that's the Dolphins, I

01:16:03.189 --> 01:16:04.850
know that's the Dolphins, that's how they look,

01:16:04.869 --> 01:16:06.909
blah, blah. That's not going to be important,

01:16:07.029 --> 01:16:09.510
I don't think. It's going to shift to, you know,

01:16:09.510 --> 01:16:12.789
wear whatever, be memorable, be exciting, we'll

01:16:12.789 --> 01:16:15.670
get maybe 10 % more viewers if the uniforms are

01:16:15.670 --> 01:16:18.750
different. I think it just makes sense. I agree.

01:16:19.250 --> 01:16:26.289
Okay. Got anything? I'm out. I'm kind of tapped.

01:16:27.180 --> 01:16:30.460
Okay. It's the end of the season, so. It is.

01:16:31.180 --> 01:16:36.899
I mean, there really wasn't that much. I got

01:16:36.899 --> 01:16:42.180
some other stuff. Sure. Okay. Yesterday, ABC

01:16:42.180 --> 01:16:46.340
World News, Secretary of Commerce's last name

01:16:46.340 --> 01:16:51.500
is Lutnik. Okay. They accidentally called him

01:16:51.500 --> 01:16:55.600
Nutlik and didn't realize it. I haven't recorded

01:16:55.600 --> 01:17:01.640
it. That is so freaking awesome. Yeah. Me and

01:17:01.640 --> 01:17:05.859
Val looked at each other. What the? Did you say

01:17:05.859 --> 01:17:08.840
what I think you said? And no one noticed. Everyone

01:17:08.840 --> 01:17:12.079
just went on. No editors. Nothing got it. Yeah.

01:17:12.380 --> 01:17:17.779
I thought it was funny. Yeah. Yeah. That's pretty

01:17:17.779 --> 01:17:24.880
good. Very funny. It was very funny. All right.

01:17:27.720 --> 01:17:31.800
Zach Galifianakis? No. He was accused of being

01:17:31.800 --> 01:17:34.180
on a plane, flipping out, taking his clothes

01:17:34.180 --> 01:17:37.020
off and screaming. No. He was actually a Russian

01:17:37.020 --> 01:17:42.699
immigrant. He was a drunk passenger. He got on

01:17:42.699 --> 01:17:44.140
the internet. People got him on the internet

01:17:44.140 --> 01:17:46.340
and said, this is Zach Galifianakis because the

01:17:46.340 --> 01:17:49.180
guy looks a lot like him. And said, man, we don't

01:17:49.180 --> 01:17:50.979
know what's going on with him. And he was drunk

01:17:50.979 --> 01:17:53.500
and screaming and throwing stuff and all that.

01:17:54.220 --> 01:17:56.539
But it wasn't him. It was a Russian immigrant

01:17:56.539 --> 01:18:00.199
that was disgruntled and drunk, and I don't know,

01:18:00.220 --> 01:18:02.619
maybe on drugs or something, was going crazy,

01:18:02.640 --> 01:18:05.520
taking his shirt off, going shit. Yeah. Yeah,

01:18:05.520 --> 01:18:07.500
so it was pretty funny. But everyone compared

01:18:07.500 --> 01:18:11.260
him and said, look, this is life imitating art,

01:18:11.420 --> 01:18:14.380
The Hangover. Yep. They compared him to The Hangover.

01:18:14.399 --> 01:18:17.960
They go, well, look. But it even wasn't him,

01:18:18.060 --> 01:18:20.100
which was even funnier because he's probably.

01:18:20.520 --> 01:18:23.640
at home on his big ranch in north carolina going

01:18:23.640 --> 01:18:26.960
what yeah i was in there that guy doesn't look

01:18:26.960 --> 01:18:28.859
anything like me although he did got an alibi

01:18:28.859 --> 01:18:31.420
man yeah everybody that says someone looks like

01:18:31.420 --> 01:18:36.579
somebody that person always says i do not when

01:18:36.579 --> 01:18:43.119
they do so um all right let's see so and it was

01:18:43.119 --> 01:18:45.979
a viral thing too so it went everywhere everywhere

01:18:48.880 --> 01:18:52.500
All right, after a romantic relationship ended,

01:18:53.279 --> 01:18:57.859
Avon Collins of Burbany, British Columbia, just

01:18:57.859 --> 01:19:00.579
needed to do something with it, they said. This

01:19:00.579 --> 01:19:05.920
was born in the Museum of Personal Failure at

01:19:05.920 --> 01:19:10.619
the Kingsgate Mall in Vancouver. Hmm. Yeah, this

01:19:10.619 --> 01:19:15.420
is like a display of failures. Okay. Okay. UPI

01:19:15.420 --> 01:19:17.920
reported Collins posted signs around the region.

01:19:18.430 --> 01:19:20.850
seeking exhibits with his headline, Failures

01:19:20.850 --> 01:19:23.949
Wanted. The museum has a wall of rejects with

01:19:23.949 --> 01:19:27.590
job application rejects and firing notices. A

01:19:27.590 --> 01:19:29.829
knife maker with Lynn Valley Forge donated a

01:19:29.829 --> 01:19:31.770
knife he had made that he's unable to sharpen

01:19:31.770 --> 01:19:33.909
because the chemical properties on the oil that

01:19:33.909 --> 01:19:38.670
were used were not the right ones. Also display

01:19:38.670 --> 01:19:43.189
are tie rods from a failed car repair. Failed

01:19:43.189 --> 01:19:47.850
songs from a local music producer. And Colin's

01:19:47.850 --> 01:19:51.829
mother's wedding gown, which she named Threads

01:19:51.829 --> 01:19:56.369
of Innocence. And this was all formed after her

01:19:56.369 --> 01:20:00.689
failed marriage. Wow. I thought that that was

01:20:00.689 --> 01:20:02.609
a pretty neat story. So she's like, all right,

01:20:02.630 --> 01:20:04.989
it failed, but I'm going to celebrate it. There's

01:20:04.989 --> 01:20:08.430
a lot of failures in the world. I'm the king

01:20:08.430 --> 01:20:11.270
of failures. So now she has this failure museum

01:20:11.270 --> 01:20:15.819
in Vancouver. That's crazy. I love it. All right.

01:20:16.159 --> 01:20:22.819
Got another little odds and ends here. CNN reported

01:20:22.819 --> 01:20:25.680
on January 23rd that in advance of the winter

01:20:25.680 --> 01:20:28.279
storm affecting much of the nation, FEMA was

01:20:28.279 --> 01:20:33.239
warned not to use the word ice. How in the hell

01:20:33.239 --> 01:20:35.880
are you going to describe ice without saying

01:20:35.880 --> 01:20:41.000
ice? It's like a huge frozen water storm. Is

01:20:41.000 --> 01:20:44.520
that how they describe it? That is so crazy.

01:20:44.520 --> 01:20:47.760
It reminds me of when COVID came out and it was

01:20:47.760 --> 01:20:49.979
called the coronavirus. Yeah. And people would

01:20:49.979 --> 01:20:52.079
refuse to buy Corona beer because they thought

01:20:52.079 --> 01:20:54.779
it would make them sick. Yes. It's that level

01:20:54.779 --> 01:20:57.399
of ridiculous. It's idiocracy come to life is

01:20:57.399 --> 01:21:02.140
what it is. Idiocracy come to life. Yeah. Wow.

01:21:02.640 --> 01:21:07.399
Yeah. So, anyhow, the Department of Homeland

01:21:07.399 --> 01:21:10.279
Security delivered a directive on January 22nd.

01:21:10.520 --> 01:21:13.159
However, a FEMA spokesperson said in a statement,

01:21:13.439 --> 01:21:16.039
FEMA will use the correct and accurate descriptions

01:21:16.039 --> 01:21:19.420
of weather conditions to communicate clearly

01:21:19.420 --> 01:21:23.140
with the American people. So I think they thought

01:21:23.140 --> 01:21:25.619
about that for a minute. And I think that the

01:21:25.619 --> 01:21:31.659
weather channels are like, what? Political correctness

01:21:31.659 --> 01:21:37.000
gone crazy. Yes. Holy cow. Another little one.

01:21:37.199 --> 01:21:39.579
Veronica, a Swiss -born cow who lives in Austria.

01:21:40.350 --> 01:21:43.069
Austria, I almost said Australia, Austria, has

01:21:43.069 --> 01:21:46.449
been documented using a tool. Oh, wow. Life Science

01:21:46.449 --> 01:21:50.329
reported on January 19th, Wiktor Wiegel, Veronica's

01:21:50.329 --> 01:21:53.130
owner, had seen her picking up sticks with her

01:21:53.130 --> 01:21:56.229
mouth occasionally over about nine years. But

01:21:56.229 --> 01:21:59.289
then Alice Osberg, a congenitive biologist at

01:21:59.289 --> 01:22:02.289
the University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna,

01:22:02.529 --> 01:22:06.189
raised the bar. Osberg and a colleague visited

01:22:06.189 --> 01:22:09.850
Veronica and placed a broom near the cow. Yeah.

01:22:10.109 --> 01:22:12.529
The cow used the broom to scratch her back. Oh,

01:22:12.609 --> 01:22:15.369
I've seen the picture. Yep. Employing the brush

01:22:15.369 --> 01:22:19.050
end about 2 .5 times more than the handle end.

01:22:19.390 --> 01:22:22.609
So this cow knew the brush end is what did it.

01:22:22.649 --> 01:22:26.449
Yep. She learned to use the handle end to stretch

01:22:26.449 --> 01:22:32.109
more delicate areas. Oh. Like her under, udder,

01:22:32.109 --> 01:22:35.550
under, or the navel. She would also readjust

01:22:35.550 --> 01:22:38.829
her grip on the broom for a better angle. It

01:22:38.829 --> 01:22:40.869
showed the kind of behavior I would not expect

01:22:40.869 --> 01:22:48.189
from a vonine like Eno. Yeah. And the definitions

01:22:48.189 --> 01:22:51.930
of tool use, this cow hit perfectly. Yeah. Yeah.

01:22:53.229 --> 01:22:55.510
That's crazy. But it makes you wonder when they

01:22:55.510 --> 01:22:57.729
go to the slaughterhouse how aware they are.

01:22:57.810 --> 01:23:00.130
Uh -huh. I think they're very aware. Oh, yeah.

01:23:00.149 --> 01:23:02.949
They can smell death. Yeah, they know it. Yeah.

01:23:02.989 --> 01:23:05.369
They also know it before you even take it there

01:23:05.369 --> 01:23:07.689
when you round them up. Yeah. They know. Yeah.

01:23:07.800 --> 01:23:10.859
I've been around it enough. They know. It's a

01:23:10.859 --> 01:23:13.579
completely different look in their eyes. It's

01:23:13.579 --> 01:23:18.039
a look of, this is the end. This is what I've

01:23:18.039 --> 01:23:23.199
been fearing. They know. There's no doubt. I

01:23:23.199 --> 01:23:29.979
remember hearing stories about birds using tools

01:23:29.979 --> 01:23:34.619
as well. Yeah, crows. Crows can make tools. Yes.

01:23:35.039 --> 01:23:37.239
That's even freakier is they can look at a piece

01:23:37.239 --> 01:23:39.859
of paper and then figure out I need to tear a

01:23:39.859 --> 01:23:42.539
strip off so I can stick it under there and drag

01:23:42.539 --> 01:23:46.779
the food to me. Yes. Chimpanzees I've seen make

01:23:46.779 --> 01:23:50.520
tools. They'll find a long thin branch of a tree

01:23:50.520 --> 01:23:53.359
and they'll strip all the leaves off so they

01:23:53.359 --> 01:23:56.960
have just like a long magic wand looking thing

01:23:56.960 --> 01:23:59.420
and they'll stick it into a termite mound and

01:23:59.420 --> 01:24:01.420
let the termites grab a hold and then pull it

01:24:01.420 --> 01:24:06.100
out and eat the termites off. present form. They

01:24:06.100 --> 01:24:09.199
didn't already use it to get turbines. So they

01:24:09.199 --> 01:24:13.760
make tools. Yeah. I've seen them do it. And also

01:24:13.760 --> 01:24:16.100
they make friends with you too. They'll give

01:24:16.100 --> 01:24:19.640
you gifts. We have one that kept giving us acorns

01:24:19.640 --> 01:24:21.340
or something like that. I'm not sure what it

01:24:21.340 --> 01:24:26.140
was. Some sort of a nut off a local tree. And

01:24:26.140 --> 01:24:29.460
he'd come to the front at our window there because

01:24:29.460 --> 01:24:31.939
we feed him. He would come up and he would look

01:24:31.939 --> 01:24:34.689
right at us. Place it down and leave. There was

01:24:34.689 --> 01:24:36.310
no doubt that's what he was doing. He was like,

01:24:36.390 --> 01:24:39.310
hey, this is for you. So you know what I did?

01:24:39.409 --> 01:24:41.430
I went out there and took him every day. Yep.

01:24:41.550 --> 01:24:44.449
And he kept doing it. So it's cool. It's only

01:24:44.449 --> 01:24:46.369
polite. I mean, he's giving you a gift. You can

01:24:46.369 --> 01:24:48.529
take it. Yeah, yep. That's what I thought. I

01:24:48.529 --> 01:24:50.270
was like, I need to go out there and let him

01:24:50.270 --> 01:24:52.529
know I appreciate it. So I took it. I mean, it's

01:24:52.529 --> 01:24:54.630
like my little dog will come up and she'll throw

01:24:54.630 --> 01:24:57.270
a toy at me. And sometimes it's because she wants

01:24:57.270 --> 01:24:59.350
to play. And sometimes it's because she's giving

01:24:59.350 --> 01:25:01.729
me a toy because she likes me. So here, have

01:25:01.729 --> 01:25:06.079
one of my toys. My friend Bobby passed away.

01:25:06.119 --> 01:25:09.600
He's an older guy. He used to walk his dog Susie,

01:25:09.600 --> 01:25:14.399
a big German Shepherd. And he had a mockingbird

01:25:14.399 --> 01:25:19.680
that would mock him. Every day he'd be walking

01:25:19.680 --> 01:25:21.640
in the park and the mockingbird would follow

01:25:21.640 --> 01:25:24.140
him around and mock them. Whether it was barking

01:25:24.140 --> 01:25:27.920
to Susie, come here. You'd always get a reply

01:25:27.920 --> 01:25:30.140
out of the mockingbird. Some of it was kind of...

01:25:30.359 --> 01:25:32.460
Yeah. It could be like, yeah, yeah, and some

01:25:32.460 --> 01:25:35.460
of those just, you know, they tried. Yeah. So,

01:25:35.479 --> 01:25:40.300
interesting stuff. Let's see. You got anything?

01:25:42.880 --> 01:25:46.939
Nope, nope. Okay. I figured the NFL part, you

01:25:46.939 --> 01:25:50.399
just ad -lib for the most part. I did write up

01:25:50.399 --> 01:25:53.060
some stories for our music creeps. Oh, I got

01:25:53.060 --> 01:25:56.500
quite a few, too. So, how long we got? About

01:25:56.500 --> 01:25:59.180
an hour and a half. Okay. Do you want to keep

01:25:59.180 --> 01:26:01.180
trying or just want to go ahead and shut this

01:26:01.180 --> 01:26:04.319
off and go into music? Let's move on. All right.

01:26:04.340 --> 01:26:08.119
Okay. Okay. Everybody, thank you for listening.

01:26:08.199 --> 01:26:10.140
We really appreciate it. Our numbers are great.

01:26:10.220 --> 01:26:12.579
We really appreciate you guys going that extra

01:26:12.579 --> 01:26:15.399
mile and doing everything it takes to help us

01:26:15.399 --> 01:26:18.439
be successful. So anyhow, with that being said,

01:26:18.579 --> 01:26:19.380
go fuck yourself.
