Speaker 2: Welcome in What driven Nick Great?

10
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 3: Episode two eighty four Ton to do today. We are

11
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 3: really in the stretch run of the NFL season. We

12
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 3: will get to all of that. We have one of

13
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 3: our favorite games of play, Public Defender, pretty damn good

14
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 3: money N'D football game last night, with one of the

15
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 3: NFL rule oddities coming into play in a way that

16
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,479
Speaker 3: I think at first blush confuses people.

17
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 2: When you really look at.

18
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 3: It, it does technically make sense, but probably should be adjusted.

19
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 3: We'll do all of that first, what missed the cut?

20
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 3: Kyle Shanahan says, there's not gonna be any trades of

21
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 3: me to the Chicago Bears bummer for the Bears Taylor

22
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 3: Swift's Eras Tour ends. I know the Swifties are gonna

23
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 3: get mad at me for this. I gotta be totally

24
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,559
Speaker 3: honest with you. I did not know that was still going.

25
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 3: I was very like up on the Eras Tours news

26
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 3: in the offseason. I felt like that was maybe served

27
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 3: more to my Twitter algorithm in August. In early September,

28
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 3: I thought it had already ended. Turns out I was

29
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 3: wrong and also missing the cut my NBA Cup prediction

30
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 3: because much like Lebron on if the Lakers aren't.

31
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 2: Involved in it, I'm not that interested.

32
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 3: And I you know what I thought it was when

33
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 3: Lebron got to add to the resume first ever NBA.

34
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 2: Cup champ title, It's like, okay, just.

35
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 3: Another thing Jordan doesn't have. Now that the Lakers aren't

36
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 3: even in the elimination round, like the knockout round, I'm like, eh.

37
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 2: In season, tournament, James that really matter demand looking great,

38
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 2: nice sweatshirt.

39
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 3: I like that a lot. Good to see you, all right,

40
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 3: Let's get right to the news of the week, which

41
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 3: is the Champs stay.

42
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 2: The Champs go ahead.

43
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, So the Kansas City Chiefs found another way to win.

44
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 4: No matter what, They're just gonna keep playing in these

45
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 4: nitty gritty games. Chris Jones actually came out and said

46
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 4: that they played these games because it holds the ratings.

47
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 4: Do you think there's a possibility that the way that

48
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 4: they're playing in these close games could come back to

49
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 4: bite them in the offseason or the playoffs the postseason?

50
00:02:58,520 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 4: Should I say?

51
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 2: Well? Listen, playoff games typically are quite close.

52
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 3: Like even the Chiefs in this dynastic run have not

53
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 3: had many postseason blowouts like the Super Bowl obviously went

54
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 3: down to overtime. The Ravens game was one of the

55
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 3: more lopsided playoff games the Chiefs have had, and because

56
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 3: they were up ten for almost the entirety of the

57
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 3: second half, but that's still they were up seven third

58
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 3: and ten, had to hit the pass to NBS.

59
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 2: That was a one score game.

60
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 3: Obviously. The Bills game, Bills have the ball down three,

61
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 3: you know, driving at the end of the game. That

62
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 3: comes down to the very end. Now, the Dolphins game

63
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 3: was a blowout, but then go on the previous year

64
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 3: Eagles game comes down to the very end. Bengals game

65
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 3: comes down to the very end. The Jags game it

66
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 3: was they won by seven. It didn't feel quite as close,

67
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 3: but that was the game that Mahomes got hurt. And

68
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 3: the previous year when they didn't win. Bengals game goes

69
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 3: to overtime. Bill's game goes to overtime. They blow out

70
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 3: the Steelers, but over their last what is this nine

71
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 3: playoff games, only one has been decided by more than

72
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 3: one score. That was the Dolphins game when the Dolphins

73
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 3: decided they didn't want to play in the cold. You

74
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 3: had one, two, three, four, four literally decided on the

75
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 3: last or second to last play of the game. And

76
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 3: so I do think there is real situational football experience

77
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 3: the Chiefs gain from this. I also think that folks

78
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 3: are so lost in wanting the Chiefs to fail that

79
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 3: we have now we haven't stopped and kind of acknowledged

80
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 3: some of the things this team is accomplishing and Patrick

81
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 3: is accomplishing. This was in Patrick's seventh season as hold on,

82
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 3: I can't believe onna be this wrong. Eighteen Yeah, is

83
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 3: seven seasons as a starter, because he has three Super

84
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 3: Bowl wins, of Super BWL loss TWOFC Championship losses seven

85
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:27,239
Speaker 3: seasons as a starter, he has won seven divisional championships

86
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 3: and he has lost five divisional games, So Mahomes has

87
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 3: two more divisional titles. Then he has divisional game losses.

88
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 3: That's incomprehensible, thirty five and five against the AFC West

89
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 3: with seven divisional titles. Also in games that Mahomes trails

90
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter, which means every single one of

91
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 3: his losses have to be included. This because not to

92
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 3: start the fourth quarter. It's at any point he has

93
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 3: trailed in fifty two fourth quarters. He is now twenty

94
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 3: six and twenty six so a hunt so like, I

95
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 3: don't even know the context for that is no other

96
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 3: quarterback is better than thirty four percent for their career

97
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 3: in those spots.

98
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 2: Mahomes is dead five hundred.

99
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 3: And then there is the like, I do understand the

100
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 3: frustration if you're an AFC West team or a team

101
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 3: of another contender, which is demonse. What have we talked

102
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 3: about all through this year's gambling show, how tough divisional

103
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 3: games are, How no matter how good you are and

104
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 3: how seemingly bad the opponent is, divisional games are just

105
00:06:53,080 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 3: a different animal that the Chiefs last three divisional games.

106
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 3: Broncos trying to kick a field goal to beat them,

107
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 3: The Chiefs block it to win by two. The Raiders

108
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 3: trying to get ready to kick a field goal to

109
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 3: beat him, The Chiefs block it. I'm sorry. The Raiders

110
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 3: fumble the snap and the Chiefs recover the fumble to

111
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 3: win by two the Chargers.

112
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 2: The Chiefs need a.

113
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 3: Field goal to beat them, they doink it off the

114
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 3: upright now, I will say the doink by the Chiefs

115
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 3: third kicker of the year makes it feel luckier if

116
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 3: you will, than that actually was. What that was was

117
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 3: once again a perfectly executed game winning drive by Patrick Mahomes.

118
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 3: You pick up a third and ten early, you pick

119
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 3: up a third and seven, ostensibly to ice the game.

120
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 3: Kelsey caught it, stayed on his knee, and so that

121
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 3: wasn't a lucky field goal. It was almost a horrific miss.

122
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 3: But when you're on your third string kicker, sometimes you

123
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 3: get the horrific misses.

124
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 2: So here's why.

125
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 3: There are two major reasons I'm not concerned about this

126
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 3: at all. Listen, the offensive line needs to be better,

127
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 3: and I'm still waiting for DJ Humphreys' news because he

128
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 3: was an upgrade over Wanya Morris, but he left the

129
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 3: game with an injury. He had been out of football

130
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 3: for a year after a torn acl so they you know,

131
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 3: that might have been grand opening, grand closing.

132
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 2: We'll see.

133
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 3: And obviously the secondary has him in the same since

134
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 3: Jalen Watson got hurt. All that's true, So that's legitimate.

135
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 3: But securing the one seed is so disproportionately valuable under

136
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 3: the new playoff format that that's right now all that matters,

137
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 3: and the Bills losing this weekend plus the Chiefs escaping

138
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 3: with a win makes it. So here's the situation for

139
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 3: Kansas City demonsay, if they beat BA I'm sorry, beat

140
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 3: Cleveland and then win their home game a week from

141
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 3: Saturday against Houston, okay, and so they have to go

142
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 3: to or Zo, beat Cleveland, beat Houston to get to

143
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 3: fourteen and one. If Buffalo loses either of its next two,

144
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 3: they play at Detroit and then they play the Patriots.

145
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 3: So it really is Buffalo loses to Detroit and Pittsburgh

146
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 3: loses either of its next two, and they play at

147
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 3: Philly and then at Baltimore. If either if those things happen,

148
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 3: the Chiefs lock up the one seed going in into

149
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 3: the Christmas game against the Steelers. An all year long,

150
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 3: that has been my focus because schedule and rest wise,

151
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 3: the Chiefs are in a very odd spot. So I

152
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,959
Speaker 3: want to take a moment here to discuss why I've

153
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,959
Speaker 3: so for the Chiefs chances to win the Super Bowl

154
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 3: they go up so dramatically if they have the one

155
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 3: seed locked before that Christmas game, because they the NFL

156
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 3: is asking those four teams that play on Christmas to

157
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 3: play as condensed of a three game stretch as any

158
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 3: teams have ever played. Where you play Saturday, I'm sorry, Sunday, Saturday, Wednesday. Now,

159
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 3: that's been done before on a Monday, Sunday Thursday schedule,

160
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 3: but when the time's that short, it does warrant mentioning.

161
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 3: This is a one o'clock kickoff, so you don't even

162
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 3: get those extra seven hours of recovery time into your

163
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 3: typical Thursday night game. And it's right before the playoffs start,

164
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 3: and it's when the Chiefs had an early season by

165
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 3: there's a lot of things there that are very disadvantageous.

166
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 3: So now I want to get to the tricky thing

167
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 3: for Kansas City. If they don't clinch until.

168
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 2: After the Steelers game, okay.

169
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 3: Because another way they can clinch is even if Buffalo

170
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:46,439
Speaker 3: wins all of their remaining games, if the Chiefs beat Cleveland,

171
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 3: beat Houston, and then beat Pittsburgh, they clinch. So typical

172
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 3: rest between football games is six days Sunday to Sunday.

173
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 2: Okay. So I'm gonna reverse engineer this calendar to.

174
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 3: Really try to lay this out for you guys, because

175
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 3: it's an unprecedented spot Kansas City could find itself in.

176
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 3: So the playoffs start January thirteenth, fourteenth, Okay, that's no,

177
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, let me. I have to get your dates

178
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 3: right on this. January eleventh, twelfth is when the playoffs start,

179
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 3: all right, So we're just gonna use Sundays as the

180
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 3: assumed day January twelfth.

181
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 2: Okay.

182
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 3: If the Chiefs have a bye, their playoffs start January nineteenth.

183
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 3: So if you rest no one ever, you play January fifth,

184
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 3: and then instead of having six days between games, you

185
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 3: have thirteen days between games.

186
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 2: Okay, if you have the bye. If the Chiefs though,

187
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 2: decide to do what a lot of teams do and not.

188
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 3: Play, guys in week eighteen, well, now, typically what you

189
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 3: would average days between games, but that's not the case

190
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 3: for Kansas City because their Week seventeen game is not

191
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 3: on a Sunday, It's on a Wednesday, December twenty fifth.

192
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 2: So if Kansas City were to say.

193
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 3: We don't have it locked, we've got to play everyone

194
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 3: through the Steelers game and then you want to rest

195
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 3: people in Week eighteen, you are then looking at playing

196
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 3: a game on December twenty fifth and then having twenty

197
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 3: six days until your next game, which is a divisional

198
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 3: round playoff game. That's unprecedented and unheard of, and it

199
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 3: would be, in my opinion, insane to do.

200
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 2: The flip side is this.

201
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 3: And I have circled this all year and I don't

202
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 3: care how mad netflix would be. It would be such

203
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 3: a huge opportunity for Kansas City if they earn it

204
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 3: by having the one locked up, and all they need

205
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 3: is to win their next two and have Buffalo and

206
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,959
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh both lose once and Buffalo and Pittsburgh are both

207
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 3: underdogs this weekend, they have an opportunity to do this.

208
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 3: Play the Rave or play the Texans this coming in

209
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 3: two weeks, which is the date of that game for

210
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 3: the Texans game is on Saturday, December twenty first. Okay,

211
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 3: sit people, for the Steelers game. Have that be the

212
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 3: week of rest. Two weeks later, play the Broncos like

213
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 3: your final preseason game or your third preseason game. Play

214
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 3: your starters for a full half, get everyone up and running,

215
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 3: sit them in the second half, and then have two

216
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 3: weeks until your next game, the divisional round game. So

217
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 3: you get to skip the Steelers on a short week.

218
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 3: You give yourself an end of season by. You then

219
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 3: play the Broncos game to stay fresh for the first half,

220
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 3: get another by, and be in a position where you

221
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 3: have twenty six days where your team really only has

222
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 3: to play gosh or a thirty days pardon me, from

223
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 3: the Texans game to the first playoff game, where you

224
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 3: really don't have to play a half of football, but

225
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 3: you can stay sharp. And for a team this old,

226
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 3: and for a team that has played eight years of

227
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 3: football in the last seven years of football since Mahomes

228
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 3: has been there, it would be such an edge.

229
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 2: And so.

230
00:15:56,040 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 3: If Buffalo loses again this weekend, and I think Pittsburgh's

231
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 3: going to lose one of their last two and Kansas

232
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 3: City wins the next two games, they will have from

233
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 3: a rest perspective, the greatest opportunity in modern NFL history

234
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 3: from how they can finagle the schedule by earning it

235
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 3: by going fourteen to one, and if they do that,

236
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 3: I'm here to tell you I don't know how close

237
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 3: those playoff games will be if every other team is

238
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 3: coming off a gauntlet and having to have won whoever

239
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 3: they play in the divisional round, travel to Arrowea after

240
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 3: having won a playoff game, and then in round three

241
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 3: that team has just won back to back playoff games

242
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 3: and has busted their ass down the stretch and Kansas

243
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 3: City is their chilling And then, by the way, another

244
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 3: bye week before the Super Bowl, you are going to

245
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 3: see a fresher, tougher, sharper Chiefs team. Now the flip

246
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 3: side to that coin is this, if they slip up

247
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 3: against the Browns or the Texans and then you have

248
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 3: to play a hard hitting, well coached, desperate Steelers team

249
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 3: on Wednesday, Christmas afternoon. That's the type of game where

250
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 3: you could see what happened to the Lions on Thanksgiving

251
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 3: happened to the Chiefs. Where it's player after player getting

252
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 3: banged up. That's a worst case scenario, so stakes couldn't

253
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 3: be higher. The next two weeks for Kansas City but

254
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 3: the the double up of Buffalo losing a heartbreaker and

255
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 3: the Chiefs winning the way they did has put him

256
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 3: in a brilliant position. All right, let's get to the

257
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 3: next weekend. Yeah, let's get to the next game, Demonse.

258
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 4: So yeah, that Rams Bills game Bills came came up

259
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 4: short forty four to forty two. But a lot of

260
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 4: people probably say that's the game of the year. Out

261
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 4: of that game, who would you say that you're more

262
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 4: impressed by, between the Rams or Josh Allen?

263
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 3: Listen, Josh Allen was excellent, excellent, And even though I

264
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 3: don't care so much about push push touchdowns and I

265
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 3: think some of these, Josh Allen the last two weeks

266
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 3: has done things no quarterbacks ever done. I don't look

267
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 3: at two weeks ago that he has a receiving touchdown.

268
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 3: A receiving touchdown is catching a touchdown. Josh Allen threw

269
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 3: a pass, it got lateral back to him, and because

270
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 3: of an odd statistical anomaly, he finishes that game with

271
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 3: one touchdown, seven receiving yards, zero catches. So it's just

272
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 3: like even the box score doesn't make sense. And I

273
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 3: don't value tush push touchdowns the way other people do

274
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 3: with that said, he was their entire offense. So I

275
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 3: was wildly impressed by him. My concern for the Bills,

276
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 3: as much as I have liked the Bills all year,

277
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 3: this was my concern early in the season, and I

278
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 3: said it, I think teams with elite passing attacks, I

279
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 3: don't think the Bills back end can hold up. And

280
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 3: the Rams, when they are healthy and Stafford is rolling,

281
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 3: that is an elite passing attack. There is no denying it,

282
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 3: there is no getting around it. And you saw it

283
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,719
Speaker 3: again this weekend. Now, the Rams have a lot of

284
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,199
Speaker 3: work to do to make the playoffs, but because of

285
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 3: this hot streak, they now sneaky have two paths to

286
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 3: the playoffs. Demonse, they control their own destiny for the

287
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 3: division if they went out and they obviously if Seattle stumbles,

288
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 3: can win the division.

289
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 2: But they also quietly.

290
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 3: Have another path that no one's really talking about, which

291
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 3: is what but if they get the seventh seed because

292
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 3: the Commanders fall apart. Now, we saw the Commanders trending

293
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 3: down and then they got the gift of the Tennessee Titans,

294
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 3: and so everyone's like, Okay, the Commanders are fine, maybe,

295
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 3: and they're coming off a bye, so maybe they're okay.

296
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 3: But they're at the Saints this weekend, then home for Philly,

297
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 3: home for the Falcons, out the Cowboys. So I just

298
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 3: I think the Rams their best path is winning the division,

299
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 3: but the seventh seed door isn't shut to them.

300
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 2: If they win the division, though, demanse.

301
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 3: They are not going to object to that potential super

302
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 3: Bowl road. They would start with a home game, ostensibly

303
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:56,199
Speaker 3: against Minnesota. Minnesota's really good, but they played Minnesota this

304
00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 3: year and beat them thirty to twenty. They then, if

305
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:04,679
Speaker 3: the bracket holds, would be going to Detroit. They played

306
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 3: Detroit in the playoffs last year, lost by one. They

307
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 3: played Detroit Week one of this season went to overtime.

308
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 3: So Detroit's better than the Rams, there's no denying it.

309
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 3: But they play Stafford plays them tough, and I just

310
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 3: when you have, in my opinion, the best coach in

311
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 3: the conference and the best quarterback in the conference.

312
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 2: If you win your.

313
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 3: Division and you get at least one home game, you're

314
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 3: a live playoffs both.

315
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, previous experience over the Lions and yeah.

316
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 3: And the last one coach quarterback combo to win a

317
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 3: Super Bowl not named Reied Mahomes was McVeigh Stafford.

318
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 2: So I just I the.

319
00:21:54,720 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 3: The Rams win their rolling offensively are just they look unstoppable.

320
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 3: And as I will say this, as bullish as I

321
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 3: am on the Chiefs, and as I have been all year,

322
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 3: the type of team that worries me the most are

323
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 3: teams with two elite receivers and an elite quarterback to

324
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 3: go along with it. Now, there's only two teams in

325
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 3: the league that fit that bill, the Rams and the Bengals.

326
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 2: The Eagles have.

327
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,679
Speaker 3: Two elite receivers, but I don't think, well, I just

328
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 3: don't think Jalen is an elite quarterback. And I don't know,

329
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 3: if you saw the latest drum out of Philly, they

330
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 3: seem to be trying to light themselves on fire again.

331
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 3: I mean, Jalen, I don't put this on Jailen, but

332
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 3: you've got a bad.

333
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 2: Game by No.

334
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 3: But the postgame comments from AJ Brown saying what's the problem?

335
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 3: He says, a passing game? And then what do you

336
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 3: guys need to work on passing? And then Brandon Graham

337
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 3: comes out yesterday and says, Brandon Graham, the leader of

338
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 3: that team, arguably who tore his triceps, so he's out

339
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 3: for the year. But still, the veteran leader said on

340
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 3: the radio yesterday. He has since apologized, Yeah, I don't

341
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 3: know what happened between jail and and aj They used

342
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 3: to be friends. Oh so yeah, And now today he's like, oh,

343
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 3: I shouldn't have said that. But like, you can't put

344
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 3: that genie back in the bottle, man. But back to

345
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 3: the point, I was thinking about teams that can give

346
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:40,679
Speaker 3: the Chiefs the most trouble. Two elite receivers, an elite

347
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 3: quarterback since Jalen Watson went down. That's the type of

348
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 3: team the Chiefs don't have, don't have an answer for.

349
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 2: All Right, so let's.

350
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 4: Go to sounds like you. I mean, he was gonna

351
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 4: ask if you regret picking the Eagles over the Rams.

352
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 4: I mean, it sounds like you do.

353
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 2: Actually, I mean.

354
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 3: I think the Eagles. It's not a full blown spiral yet.

355
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 3: I think this weekend's game against Pittsburgh is gonna be

356
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 3: incredibly instructive. You win this game, you get to twelve

357
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 3: and two to great win, you can quiet a lot

358
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 3: of the noise. You lose this game, and immediately the

359
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 3: narrative is going to be is it last year all

360
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:37,439
Speaker 3: over again? Even if that's unfair, and you know, people

361
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 3: did not like their win over Carolina. Carolina has been

362
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 3: frisky for the last month, not really winning games, but

363
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 3: playing good teams tough, and this was the closest win

364
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:52,360
Speaker 3: they had. I mean, Xavier Lagett, you know, had the touchdown. Now,

365
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 3: to be fair, that would not have won the game.

366
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 3: That would have put Carolina up one, but there was

367
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 3: forty five seconds left. Philly would have had plenty of

368
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 3: time to go back and get in field goal range.

369
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 3: I'm also going to double down on the MVP thing

370
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 3: that I do not think it's over, and right now,

371
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 3: Josh Allen is minus four point fifty or something minus

372
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:24,640
Speaker 3: five hundred. Saquon's a distant second, and in third places

373
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 3: Jared Goff. Jared Goff plays Josh Allen and the Bills

374
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:34,719
Speaker 3: on National.

375
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 2: TV this weekend.

376
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:41,719
Speaker 3: Golf right now has more touchdown passes than Allen, a

377
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 3: better passer rating than Allen, more passing yards than Allen,

378
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 3: all those things.

379
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 2: If golf betters in that game.

380
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 3: Right on a better team, If golf cooks in that

381
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 3: game and they win, there is going to be so

382
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 3: I'm real, why isn't Jared Goff the MVP momentum and

383
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 3: if the Bills lose two in a row and fall

384
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 3: to ten and four at like there and maybe the

385
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 3: three seed in the AFC. It's just I don't right

386
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,439
Speaker 3: now Allen is the favorite. Saquon right now would have

387
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 3: my vote, But right now Allen is the favorite. But

388
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 3: it is too early to say that debate is over.

389
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 3: And I think those odds are not giving golf enough credit.

390
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 4: All Right, Next, so the Bengals destroyed, not destroy. I

391
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,640
Speaker 4: guess they'd beat the Cowboys last night by a touchdown,

392
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 4: but coming into this year, you probably would have thought

393
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 4: that was gonna be a great game. But Dallas is

394
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,640
Speaker 4: without Dak obviously, in Cincinnati's defense is sucked all year.

395
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 4: Which one of these teams do you think returns to

396
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 4: relevance the fastest?

397
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 3: Well, the answer is to me obviously Cincinnati, because they

398
00:26:54,920 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 3: have the great quarterback. Now they have some structural problems.

399
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 3: After the game, they talked about keeping Higgins, Chase and

400
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 3: Joe together. That's just not happening there. Like they can

401
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 3: keep Chase there, but they're not gonna be able to

402
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 3: keep T. Higgins there. And I think everyone at this

403
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,479
Speaker 3: point knows that like T. Higgins is going to be

404
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 3: I don't think they're franchise tagging him again, and he's

405
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 3: going to be a free agent and they're you know

406
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 3: what I mean, They're gonna go out and they're gonna

407
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 3: have to pay Jamar Chase absolute top of market money.

408
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 3: And so that's like, that's what's gonna happen. I don't

409
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 3: I I to me, it's not that surprising that this

410
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 3: is the position they have found themselves in. I shouldn't

411
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 3: say it's not that surprising. It's the Bengals made a

412
00:27:54,960 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 3: decision that I disagreed with before the year in that

413
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 3: they didn't take care of their business with t Higgins

414
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 3: early enough and decide to trade him or extend him.

415
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,959
Speaker 3: And then they doubled down on that mistake by not

416
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 3: giving Jamar an obvious extension last year when he was eligible,

417
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 3: and that set the to me season off on the

418
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,360
Speaker 3: wrong foot. Now, the offense has been great despite all

419
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 3: of that. It's been mostly defensive issues. But I think

420
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 3: the Bengals have some retooling to do. The Cowboys just

421
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 3: seem stuck and they'll be relevant because they're the Cowboys.

422
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 3: And that was actually a hell of a performance last night.

423
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 3: And Micah is a such a massive difference maker just

424
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 3: when he's out there. Defensively, they're a different team. But

425
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 3: they are flirting with the idea of bringing my McCarthy back. Obviously,

426
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 3: either three best players are coming back, Micah cd and

427
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 3: Dak So I just don't see what major change is

428
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 3: going to come for the Cowboys for them to all

429
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 3: of a sudden be a contender. And the Bengals defense

430
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 3: can vary a ton year to year. The Bengals just

431
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 3: need an average defense, and they right now would be

432
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 3: ten and three with an average defense instead of their

433
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 3: position of five and eight.

434
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 4: Are you still on the boat off? They have like

435
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 4: a real playoff chance this year?

436
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 3: Like do you think, well, so I was doing some

437
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 3: it's funny you asked that. So the Bengals would have

438
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 3: to win out, which if you look at their schedule,

439
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 3: you say, well, that's possible. What they have the rest

440
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 3: of the way is the Titans, who are terrible, the Browns,

441
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 3: the the Broncos in a huge game, and then at

442
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 3: the Steelers in Week eighteen, which maybe is a super

443
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 3: meaningful game to Pittsburgh or maybe Pittsburgh's resting people. So

444
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 3: it's possible they went out and get to nine and eight.

445
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 3: It's not likely, but it's possible. The problem for Cincinnati

446
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 3: that I came across today when I was doing it is,

447
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 3: even if they win out, they are what they have

448
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 3: a very very narrow path, which is they would need

449
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 3: to win out and have the Broncos lose out, including

450
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 3: the game to them, then they would get in theoretically,

451
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 3: But the problem with that is, again we're going in

452
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 3: the weeds a bit. Is the Broncos if they lose out,

453
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 3: the Broncos play the Cults this week, and the Cults

454
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 3: are one of the teams ahead of Cincinnati in the standings. Again,

455
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 3: this is probably a better article than podcasts, but just

456
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 3: stick with me for a minute. The Bengals max out

457
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 3: at nine wins, and the only team they could win

458
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 3: the tiebreaker with that also maxes out at nine wins

459
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 3: is the Broncos because they play them head to head.

460
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 3: But the if the bronc for the Broncos to only

461
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 3: get to nine wins or fewer, they need to lose out, right,

462
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 3: so follow me along this path, one of those.

463
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 2: Losses would come to the Colts. Well, the Colts.

464
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 3: Would win every tiebreaker with Cincy, and if the Colts

465
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 3: beat the Broncos. They're at seven wins with the following

466
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 3: games left Titans, Giants, Jags. So what the Bengals need

467
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 3: to get into the playoffs is they win all their games,

468
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 3: the Colts to beat Denver, or it with the Colts

469
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 3: to beat Denver and then the Colts after beating Denver

470
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 3: to go one and two against Titans, Giants, Jags. That's

471
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 3: a really tough putt. Or the other way is for

472
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 3: the Broncos to beat the Colts and then the Broncos

473
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 3: to promptly lose every game left on their schedule. So

474
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 3: I do think that the Bengals oddly are a dangerous

475
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 3: adjacent team, but they have a two to six conference record,

476
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 3: which means they're gonna lose every tiebreaker, and they max

477
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 3: out at nine wins, so they would have to hit

478
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 3: the following exactas essentially.

479
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 2: They need to in all four of their games.

480
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 3: They then need the either the following things to happen,

481
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 3: the Broncos to beat the Colts and then promptly lose

482
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 3: all three of their.

483
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 2: Games, or.

484
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 3: The Colts to beat the Broncos and the Broncos to

485
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 3: lose two of their last three and the Colts to

486
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 3: lose two of their last three. You're just not gonna

487
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 3: get that, you know what. I mean, all of those

488
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 3: things to happen.

489
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 4: If the Bengals lose their next game, you sit Burrow.

490
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 4: You sit them right.

491
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 2: That's an interesting one.

492
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 3: If they loose the moment they get eliminated, do you

493
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 3: sit Joe Burrow?

494
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 2: Maybe?

495
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 3: I mean I think that. So here's a different one.

496
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 3: That's let's assume Burrow hasn't set Let me ask you

497
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 3: this question, de Monsey, who are your three AFC Pro

498
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 3: Bowl QUARTERBACKSFC.

499
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 4: Pro Bowl quarterbacks?

500
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 2: That seems like a why are we asking this? But

501
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 2: here's why.

502
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 3: Josh Allen's in the AFC, Lamar Jackson's in the AFC,

503
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,760
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes in the AFC, Joe Burrow's in the AFC.

504
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 3: Which of those four guys is not getting a Pro

505
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 3: Bowl seat this year? Do you have, like, what's your

506
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 3: gut reaction answer.

507
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 4: If Joe Burrow You're saying this is if Joe Burrow.

508
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 2: Sits No, I'm saying, how about this as now?

509
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 3: If you had to vote today as it is right now,

510
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 3: if you had to vote today, who's not getting a

511
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 3: Pro Bowl spot in the AFC of those four quarterbacks.

512
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, I don't know. They go back and look, I

513
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:04,839
Speaker 4: mean Burrow's obviously you've been carrying that tea. Mahomes go ahead,

514
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 4: So I mean, has Lamar not had a better season

515
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 4: like statistic wise, then I don't.

516
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 3: I think I think it would come down to Burrow

517
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 3: or Mahomes. I think Lamar is kind of locked because

518
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 3: his numbers are insane. Josh feels locked because he might

519
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 3: win the damn League MVP.

520
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 2: So then you have Burrow or Mahomes.

521
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:39,360
Speaker 3: Burrow who has the best numbers of any quarterback in football,

522
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 3: but his team is five and eight. Mahomes whose numbers

523
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 3: are mediocre. But every single person who's watched the NFL

524
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,359
Speaker 3: this year, if they were being honest and you ask

525
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,320
Speaker 3: them this question, Hey, the Chiefs who are twelve and

526
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 3: one and have the second best Super Bowl odds, but

527
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 3: really they're the favorites to win the Super Bowl? What

528
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 3: would their record with any other quarterback? What do we

529
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 3: think seven and six like this Chiefs team that has

530
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 3: the best.

531
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 2: So it's a it's.

532
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 3: A really weird spot of and one of those guys

533
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 3: is not going to be a Pro bowler. Now, if

534
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 3: the Bengals were to do what you're not suggesting but

535
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 3: you know asking, which is if they sit Burrow, then

536
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 3: it becomes an easier discussion. But I don't know who

537
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 3: gets left out. Honest to God, it can't be Lamar.

538
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,360
Speaker 3: You can't put in Burrow over Lamar.

539
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 2: You just can't.

540
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 3: Like you can put them both in, but Lamar. They've

541
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 3: played twice, they both played great in both games. Lamar's

542
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:48,439
Speaker 3: won both his team's better, their numbers are equivalent. He's

543
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 3: got to be there. Josh Allen is the overwhelming favorite

544
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,399
Speaker 3: win League MVP, so he's in there.

545
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 2: And then you have a Borrow Mahomes discussion, which is

546
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 2: an interesting one. I am here to tell you.

547
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 3: I'm here to tell you that I want nothing more

548
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 3: than for the second straight year, the Chiefs to be

549
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 3: shut out from all of the NFL awards, even like

550
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 3: honors like the you know, they announce the NFL honors

551
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 3: ceremony like Super Bowl week or the week before, and

552
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 3: they announced the finalists and last year Coach of the Year,

553
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 3: no GM of the Year, no Defensive Player of the Year,

554
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 3: no MVP, no like they got shut out for everything.

555
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 3: It's gonna happen again, by the way, Mahomes obviously is

556
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 3: not gonna be MVP finalists. They're gonna screw Chris Jones

557
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 3: on being a Defensive Player of the Year finalist. Andy

558
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 3: Reid's not even top seven or eight and Coach of

559
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 3: the year odds. If all that happens and they announce

560
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 3: the Pro Bowl rosters, a Pro Bowl and for the

561
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 3: first time in his career, Patrick Mahomes is not a

562
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 3: Pro bowler, oh my god. They might beat everyone by

563
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 3: thirty in the playoffs. I really hope it happens. All right,

564
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 3: let's talk a bit about quarterback development after the break,

565
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 3: Take quick break, come back?

566
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 2: What's right? All right?

567
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,399
Speaker 3: Welcome back in What's right? With nick right demands. Let's

568
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 3: get to our last top before we go to public defender.

569
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 4: So we got the Lions, Seahawks, Bucks, Vikings, and Steelers.

570
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 4: All those teams right now are currently playoff playoffs teams,

571
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 4: but they all got quarterbacks that are previously scrapped from

572
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 4: their last teams. Do you think that we're witnessing a

573
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 4: shift in the NFL? Is not less or is it

574
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 4: less detrimental to have a franchise quarterback than a great coach?

575
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 2: Well? What I here's what I think. I think that

576
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:07,839
Speaker 2: in the NFC.

577
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 3: You can survive make a Super Bowl even without a

578
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 3: great quarterback. We see it happen all the time. The

579
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 3: Niners made a Super Bowl with Brock Purdy, the Eagles

580
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 3: made one with Jalen Hurts. The Eagles made one with

581
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 3: Nick Foles, the Niners made one with Jimmy Garoppolo. The

582
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 3: only great quarterback who'd made a Super Bowl in the

583
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 3: NFC the last few years is Stafford and Brady obviously,

584
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 3: and Stafford, by the way, wasn't really held in this

585
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 3: high of a regard until the Rams tenure in the

586
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 3: eight So, like people are like, do you take the

587
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 3: Vikings seriously? My answer to that question is yes, because

588
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 3: they're in the NFC. And listen, Darnold's played great. I

589
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 3: don't think he's great, but he has played great. I

590
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 3: give him credit. But all of your historically great or

591
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 3: unicorn quarterbacks are in the other conference. Mahomes, Alan, Lamar, Burrow,

592
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 3: They're all there, and so you just feel like in

593
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 3: the AFC, you've got to have one of those guys.

594
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 3: In the NFC when it's like you're gonna have to

595
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 3: go through Golf or Jailing or Donald, We'll see if

596
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 3: Jordan Love can become that guy he hasn't yet, or

597
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 3: Baker or Geno. There's just a clearer path now those

598
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 3: teams might be more well rounded. So that is like

599
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 3: I listen, Obviously, great coaches are undervalued. But the other

600
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 3: piece of it is what those teams have been able

601
00:40:54,719 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 3: to do is pay B B plus A minus players

602
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 3: all over their team because their quarterback instead of making

603
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 3: sixty millions, making thirty or on the rookie scale, whatever it.

604
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 2: Is, that's a huge edge.

605
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 3: Nothing is as big of an edge as the edge

606
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 3: you get from having one.

607
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 2: Of those truly truly great quarterbacks.

608
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:25,240
Speaker 3: The where you get screwed is if you find yourself

609
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:28,839
Speaker 3: in the position the Cowboys or at this point the

610
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 3: Cardinals or those teams have, which is you have a

611
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 3: fine quarterback who you pay like he's one of those guys.

612
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 3: And so I this is not, you know, a unique

613
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:50,720
Speaker 3: opinion or new ground. This is just a different version

614
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 3: of the best way to win a championship as a

615
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 3: quarterback on the rookie pay scale. But the kind of

616
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 3: middle ground now is the veteran quarterback that makes more

617
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 3: than a rookie but way less than a superstar who

618
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 3: has a lot of experience who found a system that

619
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 3: fits him, like Gino, like Baker, like it looks like

620
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 3: we found with Donald And so that's the the Lions,

621
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 3: I guess with golf would fall into that as well.

622
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 3: But golf, you know, has been paid top of market twice.

623
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 3: Now golf got paid top of market by the Rams

624
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 3: and then the Lions just paid them top of market again.

625
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to the game. Let's go to

626
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 2: public defender.

627
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 4: Oh yes, First off, a council. It seems to exclusively

628
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 4: represent teams that can only be bright Shawn by less

629
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 4: than a touchdown. A counselor defend your client, the Eagles

630
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 4: and their Super Bowl chances.

631
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 3: Well, listen, the Eagles super Bowl hopes are.

632
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 2: It's very straightforward.

633
00:42:55,840 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 3: One is, despite all of the drama surrounding the team,

634
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 3: it is also totally on the board that they end

635
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:11,319
Speaker 3: up as the number one seed in the NFC and

636
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 3: that the Super Bowl goes through the link in January,

637
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 3: which is a brutal spot for the rest of the conference.

638
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:24,800
Speaker 3: All that they need is for the Lions to trip

639
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 3: up against Buffalo and then they're tied in the lost

640
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 3: column with Philly and it's a race to the end.

641
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:37,880
Speaker 2: Even if that does not happen. The Eagles path right

642
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 2: now would be the two seed hosting a Washington team

643
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 2: that you know they can beat, as they have already

644
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 2: beaten earlier this year, and they're gonna get another bite

645
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 2: at them later. And then.

646
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 3: If they get to that place, you feel like so

647
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 3: many of the potential bad vibes that are percolating right

648
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 3: now go away. They have arguably the best defense in

649
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 3: the whole conference, inarguably the best running back in the

650
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:11,360
Speaker 3: whole conference. They are incredibly live to win the super

651
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 3: Bowl or to get to the super Bowl, to win

652
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:18,720
Speaker 3: the conference. But there is no denying that. Right now,

653
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:23,360
Speaker 3: I put the problems on I'm gonna take off my

654
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 3: public defender at for a moment and now just talk

655
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:29,320
Speaker 3: about the Eagles. I put the problems on AJ Brown,

656
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:34,320
Speaker 3: And listen, Jalen Hurts has not played well. AJ Brown's

657
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:39,319
Speaker 3: a great player. But when you're a great player who

658
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:45,240
Speaker 3: not only has been paid, but has been paid twice,

659
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 3: if your team's winning, your job is to not cause

660
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:49,280
Speaker 3: a problem.

661
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:54,320
Speaker 2: And AJ Brown was a first round pick, got that money.

662
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 3: The Eagles paid him a ton of money when they

663
00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 3: traded for him. And this off season preemptively gave him

664
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 3: another extension. So AJ Brown is on his third big contract,

665
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 3: and the fact that and they're winning, and the fact

666
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 3: that he has decided now is the time to after

667
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 3: a win cause a problem I think is really abhorrent

668
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:30,319
Speaker 3: behavior by your captain. Like there's just I I hate it.

669
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:33,799
Speaker 3: And I understand we let wide receivers get away with

670
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 3: a lot more because the diva wide receiver thing. But

671
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 3: this is bad, man, Like you're eleven and two, Saquon,

672
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:46,800
Speaker 3: Like the whole narrative from within the locker room is man.

673
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:51,280
Speaker 3: You guys disrespected our defense. Look at him now, Saquon

674
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 3: is gonna break the rushing record. It should be nothing

675
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 3: but good vibes. And AJ Brown started a fire that

676
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:01,799
Speaker 3: then Brandon Graham, you know, added Kerosene too, So that's

677
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 3: not good. And so I do think the Eagles can

678
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 3: still make the super Bowl. But I don't trust Siriani

679
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:13,280
Speaker 3: to fix this, and I don't know why AJ Brown

680
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 3: started this problem.

681
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 4: All right, next, All right, amidst another giant's loss, a

682
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:21,840
Speaker 4: plane floor of MetLife Stadium with a vander reading, mister

683
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 4: mahra enough, please fix this dumpster fire. After the game,

684
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 4: the Elak Neighbors was asked about it and said, I

685
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 4: ain't paid for the plane. That was exactly what you

686
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 4: would say if you paid for the plane. Counselor defend

687
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,760
Speaker 4: your client, the number one suspect, Malik Neighbors.

688
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:42,760
Speaker 3: Listen, Obviously Milik Neighbors didn't pay for the plane.

689
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 1: Uh.

690
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 3: I don't even think he needs a lot of defense there.

691
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 3: Nobody thinks he actually paid for the plane. I'm going

692
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 3: to once again take off my public defender hat for

693
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:59,360
Speaker 3: a moment and talk about another devil wide receiver, Mylik Neighbors.

694
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 3: You're too young and have not accomplished enough to be

695
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 3: this much of.

696
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:04,919
Speaker 2: A pain in the ass.

697
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 3: And there's been multiple times this season where you have

698
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 3: made it clear it ain't my fault.

699
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 2: Buddy.

700
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:21,400
Speaker 3: We all know it's not your fault. We all know

701
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:23,360
Speaker 3: you're one of the best players on the team.

702
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:31,440
Speaker 2: But I do not I do not think that.

703
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 3: Malik Neighbors has earned the sweat equity to do the

704
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 3: post game malcontent stuff the way he's already doing it.

705
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 3: And maybe it's because I turned forty, maybe I'm becoming

706
00:47:56,440 --> 00:48:06,239
Speaker 3: more curmudgeonly, But the the amount of young receivers that

707
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:12,879
Speaker 3: are just an instant pain in the ass. I think

708
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 3: is not ideal and is not does not necessarily foster winning.

709
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 3: And again, I imagine Malik is incredibly frustrated, and he

710
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 3: is an awesome player. He's been the best of the

711
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 3: rookie wide receivers. He's been better than Marvin Harrison, He's

712
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 3: been better than Rome, and that's despite being in the

713
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 3: worst quarterbacking situation. Try to make it through your first

714
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:43,839
Speaker 3: season before you're like, I don't know why I didn't

715
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 3: get the ball to we were down thirty nothing, I

716
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 3: ain't paid for the plane. Like, try, if you're gonna

717
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,880
Speaker 3: be the best player on a team, try.

718
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 2: To exhibit some.

719
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:58,399
Speaker 3: Leadership qualities. I don't think that's unfair. I think that's

720
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 3: part of being a professional. Demant'sy, I hear I got

721
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 3: a new client.

722
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 4: Well, your client League Neighbors is going to jail. Now

723
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 4: you just got another client to defend Divo wide receivers

724
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 4: as a whole.

725
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 3: Well, this is actually despite everything I just said, this

726
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 3: is actually very easy. Which is wide receiver is the

727
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:30,359
Speaker 3: only position in all of sports where, even if you

728
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 3: play perfectly, you're a one hundred out of one hundred

729
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:43,880
Speaker 3: in every category. Your success is thoroughly dependent on other people.

730
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 3: There is and I said, all of sports, but I

731
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:51,720
Speaker 3: can just keep it to football. There is not another

732
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 3: position on the football field that doesn't have the opportunity

733
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:05,839
Speaker 3: to just singular dominate in individually, independent of everyone else.

734
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 2: Every spot on.

735
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 3: Defense can do it. If safety can come down, make

736
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 3: a big hit. Corners can take away side of the

737
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:17,359
Speaker 3: field or make a pick. Pats rushers run stoppers can

738
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 3: beat their block and go do it. Offensive linemen you

739
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 3: can pancake a guy again and again and again. Obviously,

740
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:29,640
Speaker 3: running back can go make somebody miss. Quarterback as the

741
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:32,799
Speaker 3: whole game in his hands. Wide receiver can do exactly

742
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 3: what you've asked, run his route exactly seven yards, lose

743
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 3: the corner, be wide open, and never get the ball

744
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:46,400
Speaker 3: or get missed. And when you play that position for

745
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:53,879
Speaker 3: your whole life growing up, when that happens, then what

746
00:50:54,080 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 3: that can engender or create is some selfishness and some

747
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 3: frustration that then once you get to the top of

748
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 3: the mountain, the NFL can really blossom. So it is

749
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 3: not a coincidence that the position that has the most

750
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:25,360
Speaker 3: divas is the dependent position, and so that is it's

751
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:31,759
Speaker 3: it is nurture more than nature in this regard. These

752
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:35,839
Speaker 3: these receivers are not born divas. They are developed into

753
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 3: them by football and what it does to them. And

754
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 3: so it's society's fault, your honor. Now we'll take off

755
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 3: my public defender. With all that said, that's what the

756
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:52,000
Speaker 3: money's for, grow up kids like they. I mean, that's

757
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:53,720
Speaker 3: what the money's for. All right, last one.

758
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,719
Speaker 4: Very well said. Arguably the greatest coach of all time,

759
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:00,800
Speaker 4: or so we thought, Bill Belichick's and able to find

760
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 4: work this past year. Now he's reportedly considering coaching historic

761
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 4: basketball school. You and see a counselor to fit the

762
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:09,800
Speaker 4: legacy of your client, Bill Belichick.

763
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:17,719
Speaker 3: Uh, your honor, I recuse myself from this case because

764
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:23,840
Speaker 3: I find it so outrageous and embarrassing that my client

765
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:28,000
Speaker 3: is publicly dating a woman forty five years younger than him.

766
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 2: And I can't believe.

767
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:37,759
Speaker 3: That the media, the mainstream media, feels like this is

768
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 3: out of bounds to discuss. It's not, and it's weird.

769
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:49,319
Speaker 3: It's not out of bounds. They've gone Instagram public. He's

770
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 3: out there on Halloween dressing up like a fisherman. She's

771
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:56,319
Speaker 3: dressing up like a Mermaid. Listen, if someone who is

772
00:52:56,360 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 3: a public figure gets caught by the media at dinner

773
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:07,560
Speaker 3: with someone pictures through the you know, restaurant window, and

774
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:11,960
Speaker 3: they and and they never do anything public about it,

775
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 3: then I would say that's their private life.

776
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:15,560
Speaker 2: Leave them alone.

777
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:23,400
Speaker 3: When you decide as a public person to publicly be

778
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:31,319
Speaker 3: in a relationship with someone I think born in the

779
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 3: two thousands, or if not in the two thousands, orn

780
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:39,879
Speaker 3: you know, in the what what'd you.

781
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:43,320
Speaker 4: Say you're getting.

782
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:45,719
Speaker 2: I'm not getting supposed to.

783
00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:50,400
Speaker 3: It's not personal life. It's not as personally I'm telling

784
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:55,279
Speaker 3: you right now. If I ran an NFL team and

785
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 3: I'm like, hey, I'm figuring out who is going to

786
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 3: be the head coach of my team, and it's like, oh,

787
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 3: there's Mike Vrabel, married kids, everyone things in line. Oh

788
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:16,440
Speaker 3: there's coordinator X single, you know, don't really know his situation.

789
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:20,280
Speaker 3: Oh here's this person divorced, don't really know his situation.

790
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:27,480
Speaker 3: Here's a man who's seventy two years old dating a

791
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 3: college student grad student. I'm going to say, I'm worried

792
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:40,280
Speaker 3: he might be going through some things that's in bounds.

793
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.

794
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:45,839
Speaker 3: That's not an unfairer and I think Belichick's greatest coach ever,

795
00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:48,680
Speaker 3: that's not unfair, and.

796
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:51,880
Speaker 2: Him doing it publicly.

797
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:57,120
Speaker 3: Is weird. It's just weird. And I don't think it's

798
00:54:57,120 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 3: helping his coaching prospects.

799
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:02,719
Speaker 4: What Yeah, I do think it's a It is a

800
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 4: little bit of a weird time to spent, like if

801
00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:07,360
Speaker 4: you're going for an NFL team, but to then also

802
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:09,680
Speaker 4: trying to go back and coach at a college when

803
00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:10,839
Speaker 4: you're currently doing that.

804
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 2: I mean, the whole little old to mom'sday.

805
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:18,440
Speaker 3: This is weird because you're my son and I'm married

806
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:20,759
Speaker 3: to your mom, so you have to put your.

807
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 2: Own in a different position.

808
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:25,120
Speaker 3: So don't even pick me. Let's not even do mean,

809
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 3: And I don't want to do what any of my

810
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:30,800
Speaker 3: colleagues because they're married as well. I'll just do myself.

811
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 3: I'm forty. I'm forty. If I was dating a twenty

812
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:46,800
Speaker 3: four year old, people would roll their eyes. If if

813
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 3: Belichick is my you know, almost almost to the year,

814
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 3: you know, who's almost the exact same age as Belichick, Papa,

815
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 3: my dad. If my dad was dating someone your age, we'd.

816
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:06,319
Speaker 2: Be like.

817
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 3: We we'd have we'd have concerns. Yeah, and I'm just

818
00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:17,840
Speaker 3: saying Belichick, I don't think it's helping his coaching career,

819
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:21,560
Speaker 3: like his ability to land one of these jobs. And

820
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:25,959
Speaker 3: I do think it's odd, and I don't I try

821
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:30,040
Speaker 3: to be very fair to people that private life is private.

822
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:31,520
Speaker 2: This is not private.

823
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:36,960
Speaker 3: This has been super public to the point to where

824
00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:40,960
Speaker 3: we know how they met. I don't know how Andy

825
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:44,359
Speaker 3: Reid met his wife. I know Belichick and her were

826
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 3: sitting next to each other on a plane and he

827
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:48,920
Speaker 3: helped her with her homework or something like. I know

828
00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:53,399
Speaker 3: that like that that, and I know that they took

829
00:56:53,440 --> 00:56:56,480
Speaker 3: Instagram pictures where he was a fisherman and she was

830
00:56:56,520 --> 00:57:00,960
Speaker 3: a mermaid for Halloween. I know that happened, and so

831
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:05,600
Speaker 3: I mean, that is what it is. And maybe people

832
00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:07,279
Speaker 3: will get mad at me for this. Maybe this will

833
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 3: get aggregated.

834
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 2: I stand by all of it. It would.

835
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:15,040
Speaker 4: It's nobody's talking about.

836
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:18,840
Speaker 3: Nobody is talking about and why if it's so weird

837
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 3: that people are afraid to talk about it.

838
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:23,200
Speaker 2: Like he's seventy two.

839
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:30,520
Speaker 3: If his girlfriend was forty two, it'd be noteworthy. That'd

840
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 3: be noteworthy.

841
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:34,600
Speaker 2: I just wouldn't forty two, all right?

842
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:37,720
Speaker 4: Forty two is different like the twenty four it would

843
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:38,640
Speaker 4: be noteworthy.

844
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 3: If you're dating someone thirty years younger than you, it's noteworthy.

845
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:49,920
Speaker 3: It's not bad, but it's noteworthy. It's certainly if I

846
00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:52,479
Speaker 3: were to, if you were to, if I were to be, like, hey,

847
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:55,400
Speaker 3: let's play a game.

848
00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:58,840
Speaker 2: If none of this had happened. Let's play a game.

849
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:06,360
Speaker 3: Guess the age within a five year band of such

850
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:11,400
Speaker 3: and such seventy two year old's girlfriend. How many guesses

851
00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:16,200
Speaker 3: does it take before you get to early forties, much

852
00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:21,800
Speaker 3: less mid twenties. Like, I think ninety is more likely

853
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:26,040
Speaker 3: than twenty five. So I just I think, like, I

854
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:30,040
Speaker 3: don't know, it's just weird. Quick break, right back, What's right?

855
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:37,840
Speaker 3: Welcome back in What's right?

856
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:38,520
Speaker 2: With Nick? Right?

857
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:41,720
Speaker 3: All right, Demante, Let's get some listener questions Summer from

858
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:44,040
Speaker 3: last week because we didn't have time for him on

859
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:46,560
Speaker 3: Thursday because Danny Parkins wouldn't stop talking. By the way,

860
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 3: Danny Parkins one and two on his picks this week,

861
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 3: I'm officially just one pick behind him. We had another

862
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 3: winning week on this show three and two on this

863
00:58:54,120 --> 00:58:58,880
Speaker 3: show two and one on TV. The teaser gotcha, Sorry, pal, oh.

864
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:01,720
Speaker 4: But that's how we'll touch I've got some thoughts on that, right,

865
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:06,080
Speaker 4: go ahead? So simpley, hey, Nick, which first round matchup

866
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:07,840
Speaker 4: would be better than a buy this year?

867
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 3: Well, there isn't one. There is no super soft first

868
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:18,960
Speaker 3: round matchup. Theoretically, if the Colts and Anthony Richardson get in,

869
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:23,280
Speaker 3: that would be you know, that's a pretty decent seventh spot.

870
00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 3: But the Broncos with Sean Payton, even with rookie bo Nicks,

871
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:32,160
Speaker 3: is not a super soft spot. And obviously the Chargers

872
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:34,000
Speaker 3: are not, and the Ravens or not or the Steelers

873
00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:35,760
Speaker 3: if they fall. So I don't think there is one.

874
00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:37,520
Speaker 3: Whoever is the two? Go ahead?

875
00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:40,160
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I guess like come that time, they're gonna

876
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:43,040
Speaker 4: have a lot of rest if that that dream scenario happens.

877
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:46,040
Speaker 4: But with the way that they're playing teams, what situation

878
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:47,160
Speaker 4: is better than a buy?

879
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:49,720
Speaker 2: Like what do you mean?

880
00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:55,959
Speaker 4: Oh? So? Like basically like so like with how close

881
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:59,440
Speaker 4: that they're playing teams like in the playoffs, like I

882
00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:02,400
Speaker 4: just think they you know, given that they.

883
01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:08,920
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly, oh yeah yeah, no, no, no, no, they there there.

884
01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:12,720
Speaker 4: Is They're gonna play everybody tight. But with that rest

885
01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 4: situation different.

886
01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:16,560
Speaker 3: Listen, And I wasn't even looking at that as the

887
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:18,320
Speaker 3: Chiefs question, because I don't think the Chiefs are gonna

888
01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:18,520
Speaker 3: be the.

889
01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:20,560
Speaker 2: Two seed like they are.

890
01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:23,800
Speaker 3: They're two games clear of Buffalo, you know the and

891
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:27,280
Speaker 3: so I'm just saying, whoever is the two seed, that

892
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:30,760
Speaker 3: Round one in both conferences is not going to be easy.

893
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:36,960
Speaker 3: In the NFC, It'll either be probably Washington, theoretically Green

894
01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:41,120
Speaker 3: Bay or the Rams like none of those are easy spots,

895
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:42,240
Speaker 3: or maybe the Seahawks.

896
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:43,720
Speaker 2: Those aren't easy games, all right.

897
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:48,560
Speaker 4: Next Marcus Nick, Nick, you do think limiting sacks should

898
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 4: be brought up more in the quarterback convos And do

899
01:00:51,160 --> 01:00:53,480
Speaker 4: you agree if sacks are more of a QB stat

900
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:56,360
Speaker 4: than an old line stat like who gets more credit

901
01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:58,440
Speaker 4: in Buffalo, Alan or the line?

902
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:01,600
Speaker 3: Well asn't I think the Bills offensive line has been

903
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:03,640
Speaker 3: one of the more underrated units in the league this year,

904
01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:07,640
Speaker 3: but Alan does get credit. I think this is I

905
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:11,600
Speaker 3: do think limiting sacks should be brought up in the

906
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 3: quarterbacking conversation, and I do think it's a skill. I

907
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:20,720
Speaker 3: also think that situationally, you've got it. This is one

908
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:22,480
Speaker 3: of those things you really got to watch the games,

909
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:27,120
Speaker 3: like how many of the sacks are instant pressure? Nothing

910
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:29,880
Speaker 3: you could do and how many of it is the

911
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:31,800
Speaker 3: quarterback running himself into sacks.

912
01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:33,520
Speaker 2: So I'll use the most sacked quarterback in the league

913
01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 2: this year, Caleb.

914
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:38,360
Speaker 3: Caleb's offensive line has been brutal and a lot of

915
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:42,800
Speaker 3: those sacks are not on him, but feels like about

916
01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:45,560
Speaker 3: a third of them are maybe a quarter of him

917
01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:47,720
Speaker 3: that he has held onto the ball too long, that

918
01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:50,880
Speaker 3: he has tried and so right, so I do think

919
01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:54,680
Speaker 3: it's a rich tapestry, if you will. But yes, Alan,

920
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:59,400
Speaker 3: not turning the ball over and not taking sacks. Sacks

921
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:03,200
Speaker 3: from a win percentage perspective are like a third is

922
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:06,919
Speaker 3: damaging as a turnover depending on the spot you take them,

923
01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:09,760
Speaker 3: so like they're really bad to take and so that

924
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:10,440
Speaker 3: is noteworthy.

925
01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:10,760
Speaker 2: All right.

926
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:15,480
Speaker 4: Next, only, Nick, you mentioned you listen to sports podcasts

927
01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:18,000
Speaker 4: to keep up with the news and analysis. Can you

928
01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:19,040
Speaker 4: tell us your favorites?

929
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:24,120
Speaker 3: Uh? Yeah, I mean I think during the NFL season,

930
01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:29,480
Speaker 3: NFL Daily with Greg Rosenthal and that crew is a

931
01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:31,920
Speaker 3: nop pun intended a daily listen for me.

932
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:34,640
Speaker 2: I love it. I think it is.

933
01:02:34,760 --> 01:02:37,160
Speaker 3: I think it is as good of a source NFL.

934
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:41,880
Speaker 3: NFL Daily is what it's called, just called in NFL Daily,

935
01:02:42,200 --> 01:02:47,080
Speaker 3: Greg Rosenthal is the host. I think that's outstanding. I

936
01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:49,760
Speaker 3: like the and in fact, there's a long list that

937
01:02:49,840 --> 01:02:52,240
Speaker 3: I could give. But if I give a long list

938
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:55,560
Speaker 3: and I don't include people, then it's like I forgot

939
01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:57,680
Speaker 3: or I snubbed him, whatever. So instead of that, I'm

940
01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:00,000
Speaker 3: just gonna give one. I think NFL Daily with Greg

941
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:02,040
Speaker 3: Rosenthal this time of the year is a must listen.

942
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:06,120
Speaker 3: All right, let's go to Lewis's question.

943
01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:09,520
Speaker 4: Demant Lewis, who is your favorite player in the NBA

944
01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:14,880
Speaker 4: and NFL? Behind Lebron and any player on the Chiefs?

945
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:20,720
Speaker 3: My favorite player in the NBA and NFL. No Chief

946
01:03:20,720 --> 01:03:26,600
Speaker 3: and not Lebron. It's a really good question.

947
01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:29,920
Speaker 4: Who Lamar?

948
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:36,360
Speaker 2: No that it wouldn't be Lamar for me. I don't

949
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:37,520
Speaker 2: hate Lamar, but it wouldn't.

950
01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:43,720
Speaker 3: I like Joe Burrow a lot, uh, and I have

951
01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:48,720
Speaker 3: massive respect for Burrow. I love Luca. Obviously, the answer

952
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:54,360
Speaker 3: is probably Luca. Uh. I'm trying to think if there's

953
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:59,600
Speaker 3: one an obvious person that I'm forgetting, but I do

954
01:03:59,720 --> 01:04:03,919
Speaker 3: love Baker. Baker's up there as well. All right, let's

955
01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:04,960
Speaker 3: go to Grayson.

956
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:09,680
Speaker 4: Grayson if Bills, If Bills lose this week and Ravens

957
01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:12,760
Speaker 4: went out, why isn't Lamar MVP? He's better in every

958
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:15,520
Speaker 4: single stat than Allen and would have one more loss

959
01:04:15,520 --> 01:04:17,120
Speaker 4: with a significantly harder schedule.

960
01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:20,720
Speaker 3: Well, and they whooped him, right, they beat him thirty

961
01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 3: five to ten.

962
01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:23,000
Speaker 2: Would be the other piece of that.

963
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:27,440
Speaker 3: I think the answer is, this award is kind of

964
01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:31,000
Speaker 3: like the narratives can get away from you, and Lamar's

965
01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:34,680
Speaker 3: MVP narrative ended and right or wrong, I don't think

966
01:04:34,680 --> 01:04:37,360
Speaker 3: he's gonna recapture it. Like I think they would have

967
01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:40,040
Speaker 3: to win out, win the division, the Bills stumble, like

968
01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:42,080
Speaker 3: a lot of things would have to happen. What I

969
01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:45,600
Speaker 3: do think is the other piece that is fair is

970
01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:48,240
Speaker 3: I do think people look at Lamar having Derrick Henry

971
01:04:48,920 --> 01:04:52,520
Speaker 3: as far more significant than anything Josh Allen has. But

972
01:04:53,040 --> 01:04:57,680
Speaker 3: Lamar should be in the conversation for regular season MVP.

973
01:04:58,120 --> 01:05:00,320
Speaker 3: There's no there's no question, Like, he.

974
01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:01,680
Speaker 4: Just had a buye. He's about the played in New

975
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:03,440
Speaker 4: York coming up, right, So it's a little bit of

976
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:04,840
Speaker 4: the lack of game.

977
01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:09,680
Speaker 3: Right, they had lost and he had a bye, and

978
01:05:09,760 --> 01:05:11,640
Speaker 3: so they had lost anything two of their last three,

979
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:15,000
Speaker 3: so that hurt him a lot obviously, Right now, if

980
01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:20,919
Speaker 3: I if I had a ballot, because I don't want

981
01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:24,240
Speaker 3: it to just be a quarterback award. I think my

982
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:32,600
Speaker 3: ballot right now would be Sakwan one, Josh Towo, TJ

983
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:37,680
Speaker 3: Watt three, Lamar four and because it'd be super fun,

984
01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:40,800
Speaker 3: Penay Seul five because I think he's the best player

985
01:05:40,840 --> 01:05:42,880
Speaker 3: on the Lions and kind of encapsulates who they are

986
01:05:42,880 --> 01:05:44,840
Speaker 3: and they're having such a great year. That would be

987
01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:46,720
Speaker 3: my ballot at the moment.

988
01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:49,280
Speaker 2: All Right, I gotta go do Colin. Great job today

989
