Episode two eighty eight. 10 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 2: Fresh off a little Christmas break, when I actually Demanse 11 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 2: was here in New York, Demonse gave me one of 12 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 2: the pardon me, greatest gifts I've ever received from anyone. 13 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 2: I can't do it justice by describing it, because when 14 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,759 Speaker 2: I describe it, it'll sound ridiculous. But when I tell 15 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 2: you it's a matching Monopoly sweatsuit and it is awesome, 16 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,680 Speaker 2: you're just gonna have to take my word for it. 17 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 2: I'll wear it on the show at one point in time, Demons, 18 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 2: you've really run the gamut on presence the last two 19 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 2: occasions for me Christmas one hundred out of one hundred 20 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 2: all time. My birthday, I'm pretty sure Demanse sent me 21 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 2: a vape and that's what it was. And even he 22 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 2: wrote a card. He was like, this might be a 23 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 2: dumb present. I was like, I might use it. Who knows. 24 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 2: All right, here's what missed the oh speaking of presents, well, 25 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 2: here's what missed the cut. Baker Mayfield playing great. There's 26 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 2: too many bad clock management things these coaches that it 27 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 2: used the problem with coaches used to be they burn 28 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 2: their timeouts too early. There is now a scourge of 29 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 2: coaches who have timeouts and are afraid to use them. 30 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 2: I never seen anything like it. Raem Morris might have 31 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,799 Speaker 2: cost em a chance of the playoffs and Sin and 32 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 2: Roll pop Tart gets toasted. I and totally understand what 33 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:21,239 Speaker 2: that's songbo, But that's fine. Also, speaking of Christmas, we 34 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 2: are one Tampa Bay victory over the New Orleans Saints 35 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 2: away from having given the audience a great Christmas gift 36 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 2: a few weeks ago when we gave you this division 37 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 2: winner exact run the clip from four weeks ago. 38 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 3: Please would you parlay LA and Tampa Bay to win 39 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 3: their divisions at seven to twenty plus seven twenty. 40 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would, I do think that's what's gonna happen. Wow, Okay, 41 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 2: well that was very sure to the point clip. But yes, 42 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 2: that is exactly what happened. And I thought maybe I 43 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 2: gave more sparkling analysis there. I didn't quite remember, but 44 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 2: that was great either way. And so there it is. 45 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 2: LA has won the division, Tampa looks like they're going 46 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 2: to and so Los Angeles has a meaningless Week eighteen game, 47 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 2: so they'll of course rest their people, as responsible teams do. 48 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 2: That is not what the Lions did last night, and 49 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 2: that's where we'll start the show. 50 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 3: Go ahead, Yeah, so, I mean they played all their guys, 51 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 3: they got the win, but Brock Purdy got a little 52 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 3: banged up there. So do you think with brock perty 53 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 3: getting hurt and how the season has gone that it 54 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 3: might have affected his ability to get paid next year? 55 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 2: So yes, definitively. Let me start with the Lions. The 56 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 2: Lions side of things is, I know there is now 57 00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 2: there is probably some oh decision vindicated by Dan Campbell 58 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 2: and the Lions. I totally disagree with that. I thought 59 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 2: it was reckless in the moment, and I actually don't 60 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 2: think yesterday's game went in a way. I don't think 61 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 2: that decision could have been vindicated. But I think the 62 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 2: way yesterday's game played out, actually the opposite happened, because 63 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 2: it's just sixty more minutes of football demonstrating that that 64 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 2: defense can't get stops, sixty more minutes of football demonstrating 65 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 2: that the Lions have one way and one way only 66 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 2: to beat you. And listen, that offense is awesome. But 67 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 2: we knew that offense was awesome before last night's game, 68 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 2: and I did not understand Dan Campbell's insistence that, of 69 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 2: course we're playing our guys when let's just say, for 70 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 2: the sake of argument, the Vikings had lost to the 71 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 2: Packers and then the Lions game last night would have 72 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 2: been meaningful, and the Lions win that game. In that scenario, 73 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 2: then the Lions would have last night locked up the 74 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 2: one seed. 75 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 3: Right. 76 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 2: Would Dan Campbell have played all his guys in Week eighteen? 77 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 2: Of course not. I think it was a weird mental 78 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 2: block of the meaningless game not being the final game 79 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 2: of the year, and therefore he felt an obligation to 80 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 2: play his people. But it is not hyperbolic to say 81 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 2: Lions Vikings Week eighteen Sunday Night Football Game two seventy two, 82 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,719 Speaker 2: where the winner gets the buy the one seed home 83 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,359 Speaker 2: field advantage and the loser is going to be playing 84 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 2: on the road starting in round one for the entirety 85 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 2: of the playoffs. It is not an exaggeration to say 86 00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 2: that is one of the biggest regular season games when 87 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 2: it comes to who's going to win the championship or 88 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 2: certainly who's going to be in the super Bowl. In 89 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 2: NFL history, very very difficult to find many instances where 90 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,559 Speaker 2: it is as cut and dry as win the game, 91 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 2: you are have the best possible path. Lose the game, 92 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 2: you drop all the way to the five line. Now 93 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 2: people can say, oh, it's not We've had a lot 94 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 2: of games where winner gets in the playoffs, losers eliminated. 95 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 2: Those games when it comes to crowning a champion, are 96 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 2: not as meaningful as this Lions Vikings game, because typically 97 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 2: if you are in a situation where if you lose 98 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 2: in Week eighteen, you miss the playoffs, you're not championship 99 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 2: caliber to begin with. Whoever wins this game is going 100 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 2: to have the second best record in the entire NFL Hell, 101 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 2: maybe tied for the best record because the Chiefs' backups 102 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 2: might lose. Whoever loses this game is going to have 103 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 2: the third best record, but one of the hardest paths. 104 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 2: So the reason I'm focused on that is it's not 105 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 2: only that you could have been as fresh as possible, 106 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 2: it's that your game's Monday night, so you're on short 107 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 2: rest now, and you opted into it for the Lions, 108 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 2: and you just got more evidence that your team can't 109 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 2: get stops. So I did not like that at all. 110 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 2: Now on the brock Purty stuff, if I were to 111 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 2: before the year have laid out a worst case scenario season, 112 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 2: this would be really close to it, where the Avengers 113 00:07:54,800 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 2: are banged up, the Niners win six games. At the 114 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 2: end of the year, they play their worst football of 115 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 2: the season. Like keep in mind, this Niner season, we 116 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 2: are looking at it as right now a season from hell, 117 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 2: But it didn't start that way. It started rocky, but 118 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 2: they were five and four. They were four and four 119 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 2: going into the by and then got maybe their best 120 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 2: win of the whole season at Tampa Bay to get 121 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 2: to five and four and were in that moment a 122 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 2: game out of first place. Since then, they have lost 123 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 2: six of seven and the last three they lost like 124 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 2: this when it comes to brock Purty, worst case scenario, 125 00:08:53,160 --> 00:09:01,439 Speaker 2: down three to the Rams, five minutes left infield goal range, 126 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 2: interception and you lose. The next week, down five against 127 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 2: the Dolphins, how much time is left? Two minutes left 128 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 2: past midfield interception and you lose. Last night, after playing 129 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 2: a close to perfect first half of football, down six, 130 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 2: fourth quarter, you've already thrown one interception to get the 131 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 2: Lions back in it. Interception and you get banged up 132 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 2: and you lose. You now have a player who is undersized, 133 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 2: a legitimate injury concern, who is just had and he 134 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 2: probably won't play against the Cardinals, so that's probably the 135 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 2: end of his season. Who just had a brutal year 136 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 2: where they lost six of seven and three straight games. 137 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 2: Ball in his hands, chanced to take the lead, chance 138 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 2: to win the game, and through an interception and saw 139 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 2: this from Josh Dubo or debau the associated press. Brock 140 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 2: Purty win down one to eight points in the fourth 141 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 2: quarter or overtime in regular season or the playoffs. Forty 142 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 2: one for seventy two, five hundred yards, three touchdowns, seven 143 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 2: picks of fifty three passer rating. Party ranks won one 144 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,959 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty first out of one hundred and sixty 145 00:10:54,080 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 2: quarterbacks with fifty plus attempts. In that scenario this century, 146 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 2: you just can't pay that player, not right now. And 147 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 2: I I am not saying the Niners are going to 148 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 2: move off Brock Party in favor of Sam Darnold, but 149 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 2: if the opportunity presents itself, they're going to have those discussions. 150 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 2: I'm not saying that brock Purty is going to all 151 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 2: of a sudden show up to training camp next year 152 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 2: and see there's another league minimum quarterback on the roster 153 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 2: who just happens to be the apple of Kyle Shanahan's 154 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 2: eye for the last ten years, Kirk Cousins. But it's 155 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 2: on the board. And I'm not saying that the Niners 156 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 2: are going to make the grievous error of bringing in 157 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers, but they're gonna have meetings about it. And 158 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 2: here's what they're not gonna do, if they have any 159 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 2: sense to them whatsoever, pay Brock Party when they don't 160 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 2: have to, and he's under contract next year for a 161 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:29,319 Speaker 2: million bucks. You then have the wildly unfair but incredibly 162 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 2: useful franchise tag available to you. And that's the situation. 163 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 2: And so I will ask you this de Monsey before 164 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 2: we move on. Last year, I think it's fair to 165 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 2: say that you thought I was a little unfair or 166 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 2: harsh on brock Party, having seen this season. If you 167 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 2: were the Niners and you had options of giving him 168 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 2: the franchise quarterback, tracked, making him play out his deal, 169 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 2: or bringing in another quarterback, I think I know which 170 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 2: option you would take. But what which of those three 171 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 2: doors would you walk through? 172 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 3: I definitely would I wouldn't pay him, I mean and 173 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 3: if I did pay him, yeah, I wouldn't pay him 174 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 3: the franchise quarterback. You know standard them? Well, right, offer it, 175 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 3: but is that just not a thing? Do they not 176 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 3: accept that? Like twenty million bucks less? 177 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 2: Well? I mean yeah? So like would he take the 178 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,839 Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield deal three for one hundred million? I don't know. 179 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 2: Maybe they'll offer him that, like maybe that they'll get 180 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 2: they'll offer him that. I think his agent would say, 181 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 2: you've got to be kidding me. Look at to his deal, 182 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 2: look at Trevor's deal, look at Kyler's deal. And those 183 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 2: guys had down years, but they just wasn't their last year. Yeah, 184 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 2: and I mean Brocksman, he needs the guy, and so 185 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 2: I just I think it's a very interesting offseason coming 186 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 2: in San Francisco. And all last year I took the 187 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 2: slings and arrows for Flatley, saying I'm sorry. I know 188 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 2: it's not popular, and I know that his resume of 189 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 2: stats and wins and accomplishments measures up favorably to basically 190 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 2: any quarterback in NFL history through twenty five games, but 191 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 2: I didn't believe it, and I think this year's proven 192 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 2: it out. All right, Now, let's get to something that 193 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 2: is controversial because people are idiots. 194 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 3: Go ahead, Yeah, so Twitter did, Like, so you came 195 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 3: on to Twitter and you said the New England should 196 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 3: go and shop Shador, you know, despite the fact that 197 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 3: they already have Drake May. Yeah, and you said that 198 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 3: they should also go on and get Dion Sanders. This 199 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 3: tandem just lost to byu inaliableble. So defend yourself. What's 200 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 3: the logic there? 201 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 2: Okay, So that's a slight misrepresentation of what I said. 202 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 2: Here's what I said. When you have which the Patriots 203 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 2: do right now. Now, I don't know if they're gonna 204 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 2: keep it because they might beat Buffalo's backups. But when 205 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 2: you have pick one one, every single option must be 206 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 2: on the table, every option. So one option is best 207 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 2: player available, flatly, whether that's Travis Hunter, whether that's the 208 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 2: tackle from Texas, whatever it is, what is the tackle 209 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 2: from Texas's name? I'm gonna find it real quick. My apologies, 210 00:15:56,040 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 2: I should have already had it. The I doesn't matter. 211 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 2: I guess whomever it is, the oh, Kevin Calvin Banks. 212 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 2: But regardless, one option has to be just best player available. 213 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 2: You have to look at that. Another thing you have 214 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 2: to look at is every single trade offer you receive. 215 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 2: If a team out there wants to give you a 216 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 2: king's ransom because they love Chador or a cam Ward 217 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 2: and you can move down get extra picks. What the 218 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 2: Bears did that ended up netting them, Caleb Williams, what 219 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 2: we have seen other teams do. That's got to be 220 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 2: on the board. Everyone agrees that those first two things 221 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 2: are on the board. The third thing when you have 222 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 2: pick one one that must be on the board is 223 00:16:55,640 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 2: you do an honest evaluation of what you think about 224 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 2: the best quarterback in this draft versus your own quarterback. 225 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 2: That has to be part of the equation. And what 226 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:18,880 Speaker 2: I said was, if they do an evaluation where they 227 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 2: think should Or is better than Drake May, then the 228 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 2: next thing you must do is see what the market 229 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 2: for Drake May is and in a two quarterback draft, 230 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 2: that market would be incredibly high. And so the somewhat 231 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 2: farcical but not impossible scenario is if you like should 232 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 2: Or more than Drake May, but the Titans like Drake 233 00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 2: May more than cam Ward and you say, hey, we 234 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,199 Speaker 2: took Drake May three overall, We'll trade him to you 235 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 2: for two overall, And then you do have the opportunity 236 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 2: to go Shadoor one Travis Hunter two. And if you 237 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 2: did that, I bet Dion Sanders would be willing to 238 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 2: coach your team if you wanted him to. And I 239 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 2: don't know if Dion Sanders would be a good NFL 240 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 2: head coach, but I do know that girod Mayo is not. 241 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 2: So you could get the best player available in the draft, 242 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 2: a quarterback that, again, if you evaluate him as better 243 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 2: than Drake May is an upgraded quarterback and a transformative 244 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 2: head coach. That's not controversial. Every team in the draft 245 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 2: should be having the similar discussions. You know what I'll 246 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 2: turn it on. It's had a bit. Now. I don't 247 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 2: even think they can get the number one pick, and 248 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 2: because of the contract, it might be implausible. But if 249 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 2: the Jacksonville Jaguars had the number one pick and they 250 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 2: did the evaluation we like Shador more than we liked Trevor, 251 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 2: then you shop Trevor and you draft the quarterback you 252 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:30,719 Speaker 2: The Patriots did not take Drake May first overall, and 253 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 2: if they had the opportunity to draft first overall, they 254 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 2: wouldn't have taken Drake May. Now maybe the answer is 255 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 2: there were three quarterbacks in last year's draft that we 256 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:46,439 Speaker 2: evaluate better as better prospects than any quarterback in this 257 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 2: year's draft, So be it. But you have to do 258 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:54,680 Speaker 2: that evaluation. And the real pushback is from Patriot fans 259 00:19:55,200 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 2: who are adamant that Drake May's a superstar. And I'm listen. 260 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 2: I like Drake May because I like young quarterbacks. I 261 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,120 Speaker 2: like athletic quarterbacks, and I don't think Drake May's had 262 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 2: any talent around him. So going into last year's draft, 263 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 2: I said I would have taken Drake over Jaden because 264 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 2: of the frame, the size, the age and the size 265 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,160 Speaker 2: and all of that. I like Drake Moore. But Drake 266 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 2: May has not covered himself in glory this year. Drake 267 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 2: May hasn't had a single A plus game, And a 268 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 2: lot of the Pat fans that are most adamant Drake 269 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 2: May is the guy are the exact same people who 270 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 2: swore Mac Jones was awesome and I people will listen 271 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 2: to this and the thing, I'm just talking about Kevin Wilds. 272 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 2: I'm not just talking about Kevin Wilds, who I adore. 273 00:20:55,240 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 2: I listened to. I've listened all year long to Bill 274 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 2: Simmons talk about how awesome Drake May is up to 275 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 2: an including yesterday him saying cam Ward because cam Ward, 276 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 2: who could be quarterback one Overshito or those are the 277 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,439 Speaker 2: top two quarterbacks. Cam Ward played the first half of 278 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,400 Speaker 2: the Pop Tarts ball and then sat out the second half, 279 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 2: and Simmons just kind of said, flippantly, tell you this much, 280 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 2: Drake May wouldn't have done that. And it's like, hey man, 281 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 2: you're absolutely right. Drake May wouldn't have done that because 282 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:32,160 Speaker 2: he sat out the entirety of his bowl game last 283 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 2: year to get ready for the draft, and the whole 284 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 2: world people Pats fans tried to convince me throughout the year. Oh, 285 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 2: you're not watching Drake May as closely as we are. 286 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 2: And I was like, you know what, that's kind of 287 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 2: that's somewhat fair. I think I watched the NFL as 288 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 2: closely as anybody, but I am not watching every single 289 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 2: snap of every single game live, and Pat's games are 290 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 2: rarely on the handful of games I rewind watch during 291 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 2: the week, So maybe I was under selling him, but 292 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 2: the whole world got to watch him Saturday. How'd that look? 293 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:14,120 Speaker 2: And again, I think I think Drake May is going 294 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 2: to be a really good player. I do, But the 295 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 2: idea that he is sacred cow where you wouldn't do 296 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 2: an evaluation of do we think Shador is better? And 297 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 2: does the league the type of bounty we're talking about 298 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 2: getting for the number one pick, could we get that 299 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 2: same bounty for Drake May. It's just not responsible if 300 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 2: you're not having those discussions. So honestly, I could give 301 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 2: ah if all the NFL aggregator accounts, you know, retweet 302 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 2: the take and then say make fun of me. This 303 00:22:55,840 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 2: is one of those things where my confidence in my convictions, 304 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 2: no what you say. 305 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 3: You just know what you're talking about, you just know better. 306 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:12,120 Speaker 2: Well, exactly. I just here's the thing. If you actually 307 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 2: listen to what I'm saying, there is not a single 308 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 2: argument against it. What I am saying is it is 309 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 2: their job to evaluate all of the players in the draft. 310 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,400 Speaker 2: Because they have the first pick of the draft at 311 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 2: the quarterback position, there's only two guys they really got 312 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:39,640 Speaker 2: to evaluate. If after they evaluate those two guys, they 313 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 2: determine they think one of them is better than the 314 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 2: guy they have, it is their responsibility to evaluate the 315 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,880 Speaker 2: trade market for the guy they have. If as an 316 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 2: added bonus, the guy they evaluate is better than the 317 00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 2: guy they have, you could then draft his best and 318 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 2: teammate and have his dad be the head coach. That's 319 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:11,879 Speaker 2: something you'd think about. So of course it makes sense 320 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 2: and it would be This is the last point I'm 321 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 2: gonna make on this. Pat Fans acting like Drake Maje's 322 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 2: had the year Jaden Daniels had is insane. Let me 323 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 2: tell you this, Nobody likes Caleb Williams more than me. 324 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 2: If the Bears had the number one overall pick, they 325 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 2: should be doing exactly what I'm saying. The Patriots should 326 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:48,399 Speaker 2: do evaluate all of their options and determine what the 327 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:54,360 Speaker 2: best path forward is closing off a door of options 328 00:24:55,200 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 2: because you finally have a quarterback that can run around, 329 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:07,119 Speaker 2: and you add Stockholm syndrome from mac Jones. So any 330 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 2: quarterback that can throw the ball more than thirty five 331 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 2: yards in the air, you think is the next John Elway, 332 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 2: Which is another thing I've heard these Pats fans tell me, Oh, 333 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 2: he's not Josh Allen, He's John Elway. Okay, maybe maybe 334 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:27,719 Speaker 2: he is, but it's just I'm just right, and so 335 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 2: I don't like, do I think the Pats are gonna 336 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 2: do this? 337 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 3: No? 338 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,360 Speaker 2: Do I even think they're going to do the full evaluation. No, 339 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:39,880 Speaker 2: But that's one of the reasons they're not a well 340 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:44,880 Speaker 2: run team since Brady left and Belichick left. Sorry all right, 341 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,159 Speaker 2: speaking of the opposite of the New England Patriots to 342 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs. 343 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 3: Chiefs locked up that one seat over Christmas. We saw that, 344 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 3: so can see. He's in an interesting situation right now. 345 00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,040 Speaker 3: If they lose to Denver, Burrow and the Bengals to 346 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 3: get bounced out of the playoffs. But if Kansas City 347 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 3: beats Tenver Cincinnati, if Cincinnati wins the Miami loses, it'd 348 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 3: be Cincinnati versus Buffalo in round one. So do you 349 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 3: better for the Chiefs to let Cincinnati, you know, into 350 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 3: the playoffs or keep him out? 351 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:22,200 Speaker 2: Okay, so the chief strategy on Sunday, I can guarantee 352 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 2: you will have nothing to do with the playoff picture. 353 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 2: It will flatly be getting. Here's my guest for the 354 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 2: Chiefs on Sunday. I would be shocked if the following 355 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:44,680 Speaker 2: players play a single snap. Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelcey, Chris Jones, 356 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 2: DeAndre Hopkins. Those four guys are basically oh Isaiah pacheck 357 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 2: Ols certainly yeah is out. Andy has banged up ribs, 358 00:26:55,600 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 2: It's definitely out. I would be very surprised if Joe Tooney, 359 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 2: Xavier Worthy, or Trent McDuffie play a snap either, and 360 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 2: I think most likely Juwan Taylor, the other tackle, won't 361 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 2: play either. That's nine guys that would be my guess. 362 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:22,720 Speaker 2: After that, they are going to try to win because 363 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 2: they win, and while they don't care about getting to 364 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:33,439 Speaker 2: sixteen and one, I do a little bit. I really 365 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 2: like the idea that the year the Chiefs three P. 366 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 2: If they get to sixteen and one, a three P 367 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 2: would also mean they are the first ever nineteen win 368 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 2: team in NFL history to obviously never happen before. There's never, 369 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,679 Speaker 2: there's only the only prior to the seventeen game season, 370 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 2: the only way you could do it was be to 371 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 2: go undefeated. And the only undefeated team happened during a 372 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 2: fourteen game season. So I like that idea. Now to 373 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 2: this nonsense about being scared of the Bengals, all right, 374 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 2: there's just the data, which is they haven't lost the 375 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 2: Bengals in two years. They've played them three times since then, 376 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 2: they're three and zero in those three games. But set 377 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 2: that aside, and this is where the NFL media drives 378 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:32,879 Speaker 2: me bleeping crazy. A fair question to ask on Sports 379 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 2: TV is should the Buffalo Bills be worried that Cincinnati 380 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 2: will make the playoffs? You know why because the last 381 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 2: time Cincinnati made the playoffs, they went to Buffalo and 382 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 2: kicked their ass. The last three times Cincinnati has played Buffalo, 383 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 2: Cincinnati either beat them. One of the games they were 384 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 2: beating him, but it was the Tamorrow Hambling game, so 385 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 2: the game was stopped. But they beat him in the 386 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 2: playoffs two years ago. Last year, when Cincinnati wasn't very good, 387 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 2: they beat the Bills in the regular season they didn't 388 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 2: play this year, and of course that would be the 389 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 2: matchup if Cincinnati makes the playoffs, they are one hundred 390 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 2: percent playing Buffalo. But weirdly people have feel like the 391 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 2: Bills are owed more respect than the Chiefs. So they're 392 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 2: not asking that question, they're just asking should the Chiefs 393 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 2: be worried about it? Also, by the way, Demonse, that 394 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 2: is a odd matchup for Buffalo because Buffalo's back end, 395 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 2: is it the weakness of its team? You have the 396 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 2: best pair of receivers in the league. And for Josh 397 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:59,239 Speaker 2: Allen individually, he would go into that game probably as 398 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 2: the guy that you know it was about to win 399 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 2: league MVP. It's round one and here's Josh Allen's playoffs 400 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 2: the last four years. AFC Championship game lost to Patrick Mahomes, 401 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 2: Divisional round lost to Patrick Mahomes, Divisional round home lost 402 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 2: to Joe Burrow, Divisional round home loss to Patrick Mahomes. 403 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 2: That's twenty twenty one, twenty two, twenty three. If all 404 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:30,479 Speaker 2: of a sudden, he's staring at weight, I might lose 405 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 2: to one of these other two guys for the fifth 406 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 2: straight year, third straight year in my building and in 407 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 2: you know, kind of de escalating rounds of the playoffs. 408 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 2: That's a scary spot for Buffalo or not really. Again, 409 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 2: I think Buffalo is way better than Cincinnati, but just 410 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 2: from a pressure and nervousness standpoint. But to get back 411 00:30:56,120 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 2: to your question, and this is the part of it 412 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 2: that no one seems willing to acknowledge. The only scenario 413 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 2: in which the Chiefs play the Bengals would mean the 414 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 2: Bengals just beat Buffalo, and that is objectively an awesome outcome. 415 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 3: For the Chiefs. 416 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 2: Yes, there is one team that has beaten the Chiefs 417 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 2: this year. It's Buffalo. There's one team that's been the 418 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 2: Chiefs in the last three hundred and seventy five days. 419 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 2: It's three hundred and seventy days. It's Buffalo. They so 420 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 2: I don't think the Chiefs are gonna game it to 421 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 2: try to help Cincinnati to get in. And by the way, 422 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,720 Speaker 2: the only way to gain that is to beat Denver 423 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 2: with your backups from your ten point dogs or nine 424 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 2: and a half point dogs, whatever it is. But it 425 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 2: is really idiotic media commentary to act like the Bengals 426 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 2: making the playoffs is bad for the Chiefs because there's 427 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 2: only two possible outcomes of the Bengals making the playoffs. 428 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:17,440 Speaker 2: One is they lose in Round one. The other is 429 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 2: they knock out the second best team in football. I 430 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 2: personally would happily sign up for either one of those. 431 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 2: So it's just it's just stupid. What's your following, Prescinnati 432 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 2: in there? 433 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 3: The Chiefs are fifteen to one. If I had one 434 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 3: of the best seasons of all time. Obviously, nobody's calling 435 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 3: for Andy Reid to be Coach of the Year. Mahomes 436 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 3: there for MVP. Why is that? 437 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 2: Well, so that's an interesting thing, Demons where. 438 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 3: You also aren't doing that? 439 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 2: By the way, No, well, though, while we don't talk 440 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 2: coach of the year, I do think Andy should be 441 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 2: coach of the Year because somebody's here's the thing, the 442 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 2: media has got to decide. Somebody on the Chiefs is awesome. 443 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 2: I don't know who it is exactly, but somebody's doing great. 444 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 2: So it's either Mahomes for the clutch stuff, Chris Jones 445 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,640 Speaker 2: for the number one Devens in football, or Andy Reid, 446 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 2: who evidently doesn't have great players and they're fifteen and one. 447 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 2: Somebody deserves some award. But here's my there's not an 448 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,680 Speaker 2: award for it is there even Assistant Coach of the Year. 449 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 2: I'm not sure. 450 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's yeah. 451 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 2: I don't even know if there. I think that award 452 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:39,440 Speaker 2: does exist. Actually so maybe that. So here's here's my prediction. 453 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 2: Right before either Conference Championship week or Super Bowl Week, 454 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 2: I'm not sure, the NFL announces the finalists for all 455 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 2: the awards, and just like last year, the Chiefs are 456 00:33:54,600 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 2: going to be shut out. Nobody invited, not MVP, not 457 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 2: Offensive Rookie of the Year, not Defensive Rookie of the Year, 458 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 2: not Defensive Player of the Year, not Coach of the Year. 459 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 2: There is also demands a decent chance that when the 460 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:19,959 Speaker 2: NFL announces the three AFC Pro Bowl quarterbacks, Mahomes gets 461 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,719 Speaker 2: left out. There's a real shot that three AFC Pro 462 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:27,759 Speaker 2: Bowl quarterbacks are Lamar, Josh, and Burrow. And I am 463 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 2: here to tell you while all of that is wildly 464 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:39,800 Speaker 2: disrespectful and ludicrous, nothing helps the three peat chances. 465 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 1: More. 466 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:45,719 Speaker 2: Of course, then the Chiefs all of a sudden, despite 467 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,160 Speaker 2: being fifteen and one, well I guess at that point 468 00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,319 Speaker 2: they'd either be fifteen and two or sixteen to one, 469 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:57,360 Speaker 2: being able to invent a wait, we got disrespected card 470 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:03,839 Speaker 2: and so is specially Patrick. So I'm here telling you, 471 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,799 Speaker 2: like Andy Reid not being Yeah, I don't I don't 472 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:09,920 Speaker 2: want any of it. I don't want any of it. 473 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,800 Speaker 2: You guys can have your fun ceremony while the Chiefs 474 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 2: are having their you know, their annual Super Bowl practice. 475 00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 2: I don't want any of the awards, all right. 476 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 3: Next, So the NFC North, the one seed comes down 477 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,280 Speaker 3: to the Sunday night showdown between the Vikings and the Lions. 478 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,400 Speaker 3: Vikings have answered a lot of questions with Sam Darnold. Obviously, 479 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,840 Speaker 3: the Lions are stacked up with with all those injuries, 480 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 3: but yeat, everybody still loves the Lions. What do the 481 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,320 Speaker 3: Vikings have to do to be favorites. 482 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:45,239 Speaker 2: That win that game? The Vikings win that game? Uh, 483 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,960 Speaker 2: you know what? I actually I take that back. Let 484 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 2: me look at the odds. Right now, I think that 485 00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,640 Speaker 2: the Vikings win that game, the Eagles become the NFC favorites. 486 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 2: So I don't think there's anything they can do because 487 00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 2: right right now, no, never mind, they would become inc 488 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:07,280 Speaker 2: because it's close enough already. Right now, Detroit is plus 489 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:11,560 Speaker 2: two hundred for the NFC, Philly's plus three thirty, and 490 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:15,400 Speaker 2: the Vikings are plus three fifty, so if the Vikings 491 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,880 Speaker 2: beat the Lions in Week eighteen, they will become the 492 00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 2: NFC favorites. By the way, the Rams, oh, let me 493 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,319 Speaker 2: see what they're offering me on that. I haven't even 494 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:29,400 Speaker 2: thought about it. The Rams ten to one. Now, the 495 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,920 Speaker 2: Rams haven't looked great lately, but they're about to have 496 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,399 Speaker 2: a home playoff game, either the three or the four 497 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:39,239 Speaker 2: seed ten to one again to win the conference. What 498 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 2: are they to win the super Bowl? Twenty five to one? Okay, 499 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,840 Speaker 2: hold on, and I obviously would never cash out a 500 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,600 Speaker 2: bet in my life, but I am curious if they've 501 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:54,080 Speaker 2: cried uncle yet. The so thirty Rams are thirty five 502 00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,400 Speaker 2: to one on DraftKings, twenty five to one in some 503 00:36:56,440 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 2: other spots. But I'm looking the so my bets click here? Okay, 504 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,880 Speaker 2: right now they're offering me double my bet back. But 505 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,520 Speaker 2: I will never cash out ever, so I wouldn't do 506 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,720 Speaker 2: it because I have the Rams to win the super 507 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:14,800 Speaker 2: Bowl at seventy five to one. Now again, I obviously 508 00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:16,960 Speaker 2: think the Chiefs are gonna win the Super Bowl, but 509 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:22,000 Speaker 2: I ainng a Rams Chief Super Bowl is more likely 510 00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:25,760 Speaker 2: than the Vegas odds makers think it is right now, 511 00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 2: and that was just a high you know, as Danny 512 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,200 Speaker 2: Parkins would say, probably gonna go down as a good 513 00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 2: value loser. But that's what what Minnesota has to do 514 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:39,440 Speaker 2: is win that game against Detroit, get the one seed, 515 00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,640 Speaker 2: and then they'll be the favorites. All right, let's move 516 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:44,960 Speaker 2: on to Eagles in Saquon. 517 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, so the Eagles still got it done without Hurts. 518 00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,839 Speaker 3: Saquon is now over two thousand yards. They're locked into 519 00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:53,839 Speaker 3: the two seed, by the way, but Saquon is over 520 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,600 Speaker 3: two thousand yards and one hundred and one shy away 521 00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,399 Speaker 3: from breaking the record. But it's there's a meaningless game 522 00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,520 Speaker 3: this week. I've do you think that they should let 523 00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:02,520 Speaker 3: Saquon go for it? 524 00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,920 Speaker 2: I don't, but it's not for the reasons I think 525 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,160 Speaker 2: most people are arguing. First of all, I I see 526 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:18,120 Speaker 2: that Saquon's minus two thirty to break the record. My 527 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,319 Speaker 2: so that means Vegas thinks he's gonna break it or 528 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:26,480 Speaker 2: does it. My guess is the places that are offering 529 00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:32,520 Speaker 2: that bet that is a must play bet, meaning he's 530 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:36,799 Speaker 2: minus two thirty to break it if he plays, but 531 00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:41,200 Speaker 2: if he doesn't play, they just refund the wager. So 532 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,520 Speaker 2: that's I'm not certain on that, but that's what I'm guessing. 533 00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:49,040 Speaker 2: I don't think that it would be smart for any 534 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,200 Speaker 2: of these books to act like, you know what I mean, 535 00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,719 Speaker 2: it's a guarantee that he's playing. So let's say I'm 536 00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,520 Speaker 2: right that that is how that wager is set up. 537 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,759 Speaker 2: Minus two already implies he is, you know, around a 538 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:07,800 Speaker 2: seventy percent chance of breaking the record. And that's why 539 00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:12,320 Speaker 2: I wouldn't. There's really there's three reasons why I wouldn't 540 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,480 Speaker 2: let him try. The one is the obvious one, he 541 00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,960 Speaker 2: could get hurt. Set that aside, let's say you just 542 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,759 Speaker 2: know he's not gonna get hurt. The other one is 543 00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:24,239 Speaker 2: the less obvious one, which is this guy's at three 544 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:28,080 Speaker 2: hundred and forty five carries carries not touch his carries. 545 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:32,240 Speaker 2: Only Derrick Henry has had more carries in a season 546 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:37,120 Speaker 2: in the last decade than three forty five. Saquan has 547 00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 2: never had more than two hundred and ninety five. And 548 00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:43,359 Speaker 2: now we're about to ask him go. They hope go 549 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:47,640 Speaker 2: play four playoff games, So just the freshness level of it, 550 00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,680 Speaker 2: they're not gonna have a bye. You give him a buye. 551 00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,719 Speaker 2: That's the second reason. Some people have brought that up. 552 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:56,239 Speaker 2: The third reason that no one has brought up, but 553 00:39:56,360 --> 00:40:00,440 Speaker 2: I think is super relevant is this everyone is looking 554 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:05,120 Speaker 2: at this as a binary thing. Rest and don't get 555 00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:09,600 Speaker 2: the record. Play don't be as rested, but go get 556 00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:13,480 Speaker 2: the record. There is a third option, which is the 557 00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:17,680 Speaker 2: only thing I think demands that could really hurt the 558 00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:23,759 Speaker 2: morale of the team. Play go for the record and 559 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:27,120 Speaker 2: not get it. One hundred and one yards is still 560 00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,239 Speaker 2: one hundred and one yards. I know you're playing the Giants, 561 00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,400 Speaker 2: but the Giants game plan for that might literally be 562 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:39,919 Speaker 2: don't care get that record. Fifty to nothing, Yes, for real, 563 00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:45,440 Speaker 2: we're gonna play no forget single high safety, zero high safety, 564 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:49,040 Speaker 2: one on one on the outside, nine guys in the box, 565 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:54,600 Speaker 2: anything but the record. And there have been five games 566 00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,880 Speaker 2: this year Saquon didn't get one hundred yards. One hundred 567 00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:01,560 Speaker 2: yards is still one hundred yards. If he were forty 568 00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:05,560 Speaker 2: yards away, you could basically guarantee it a hunt. So 569 00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:12,160 Speaker 2: that would be it is not a disaster for him 570 00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,920 Speaker 2: to run, go play, break the record and just be 571 00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:20,759 Speaker 2: you know, a little more less fresh for the playoffs. 572 00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,480 Speaker 2: It's not a disaster to have him rest and just 573 00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,040 Speaker 2: feel like, ah, I didn't quite get the record. There 574 00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:31,719 Speaker 2: are only two disaster scenarios for Philly. One is he 575 00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,600 Speaker 2: gets hurt. The other is he goes for it and 576 00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:38,840 Speaker 2: they don't get it and that kind of invincibility gets pierced. 577 00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,640 Speaker 2: So I would not have him do it. All right, 578 00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:43,200 Speaker 2: go ahead? 579 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,480 Speaker 3: Yes, do you think the Jamar jay should be in 580 00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,360 Speaker 3: the running. He's going for the triple crown? Should he 581 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:50,200 Speaker 3: get any love for that? 582 00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:51,600 Speaker 2: For Offensive Player of the Year? 583 00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,279 Speaker 3: Yeah, So. 584 00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,239 Speaker 2: I think Offensive Player of the Year this year is 585 00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,879 Speaker 2: gonna be really tough because I think Joe Burrow might 586 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:04,879 Speaker 2: get it. So typically the way it has worked is 587 00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:08,160 Speaker 2: we've looked at Offensive Player of the Year as the 588 00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:11,359 Speaker 2: best non quarterback, but that's not in the rules. So 589 00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:15,080 Speaker 2: I think some people might say, I'm not voting Burrow 590 00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:19,359 Speaker 2: MVP because the team wasn't good enough, but I will 591 00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:23,440 Speaker 2: vote him Offensive Player of the Year. Look, but Jamar 592 00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:29,160 Speaker 2: Jace triple crown is a great option. Saquon obviously, two 593 00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,560 Speaker 2: thousand yards is a great option. All right, let's do Jaden. 594 00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,200 Speaker 3: So last year c J. Stroud took that Texans team 595 00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:38,040 Speaker 3: to the playoffs. They had no expectations and everybody was 596 00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:41,239 Speaker 3: saying c J Strouds should get MVP. Jayden Dale was 597 00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:43,600 Speaker 3: doing very similar things this year, and we do not 598 00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:47,480 Speaker 3: hear those same types of talks. Why is that so? 599 00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:52,479 Speaker 2: It's flatly because last year there wasn't a as many 600 00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,479 Speaker 2: good or great candidates for MVP as there were this year. 601 00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:00,799 Speaker 2: That's all Like, if Jaden was having this season last year, 602 00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,359 Speaker 2: he'd be right in the mix. I think people look 603 00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,960 Speaker 2: at Jayden's year this year as fondly as they look 604 00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:09,320 Speaker 2: at CJS. But last year was a weird MVP year 605 00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:13,000 Speaker 2: where Dak was a candidate then had a brutal game. 606 00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:15,280 Speaker 2: At the end of the year, Purty was the favorite, 607 00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:18,000 Speaker 2: then it threw the four picks against the Ravens, and 608 00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:23,120 Speaker 2: then Lamar kind of won it by default, and so 609 00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,080 Speaker 2: like it was like, hey, the team's really good. Because 610 00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:30,719 Speaker 2: his numbers last year, de Monse were not spectacular in 611 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:35,280 Speaker 2: any direction, which is why a lot of the Ravens 612 00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:39,480 Speaker 2: fans this year that are trying to nag Josh Allen's 613 00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:43,719 Speaker 2: MVP case. The problem is Josh Allen's MVP case this 614 00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:49,160 Speaker 2: year is Lamar's MVP case last year, and Lamar didn't 615 00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:53,400 Speaker 2: have the statistical profile for the MVP last year, but 616 00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:55,400 Speaker 2: his team had the best record and he was awesome 617 00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:00,640 Speaker 2: for the Josh Allen doesn't have the statistics go profile 618 00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:02,759 Speaker 2: for the MVP this year, but it seem as the 619 00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:07,200 Speaker 2: second best record in the conference. They beat the Chiefs 620 00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:12,320 Speaker 2: and Lions are twenty nine and three in the season, 621 00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:15,400 Speaker 2: but they're twenty nine and one against the whole NFL 622 00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:18,000 Speaker 2: and zero to two against the Bills, So that helps 623 00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:22,960 Speaker 2: Josh and so, and they're kind of overachieving or whatever. 624 00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:27,880 Speaker 2: So the there are. But Josh is a great candidate. 625 00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:31,840 Speaker 2: Lamar is a great candidate. Sam Darnold is a great 626 00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:35,600 Speaker 2: candidate that no one will accept. Golf's a good candidate, 627 00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:39,160 Speaker 2: and Joe Burrow's a decent candidate. Those are all. They're 628 00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:43,120 Speaker 2: all having better seasons than anybody last year. So that's 629 00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:46,879 Speaker 2: why Jaden's not in the mix in my opinion. All Right, 630 00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:49,640 Speaker 2: that was a nice forty five minute a block, take 631 00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:53,040 Speaker 2: a quick break. Come back, We'll do our New Year's 632 00:44:53,080 --> 00:45:01,680 Speaker 2: resolutions before we get out of here. What's right? Welcome 633 00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:02,440 Speaker 2: back in What's right? 634 00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:02,759 Speaker 3: With Nick? 635 00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:06,520 Speaker 2: Great? It is New Year's Eve. We will be on Thursday. Uh, 636 00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:09,239 Speaker 2: we took last week off. We're not gonna take this 637 00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:12,920 Speaker 2: week off, but since New Year's Eve, we'll do some 638 00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:17,440 Speaker 2: I guess rights resolutions. So this is one of these things. 639 00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:21,360 Speaker 2: Oh that's a great photoshop. I love that. Uh. I 640 00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:24,319 Speaker 2: don't quite remember us doing last year, but I'm sure 641 00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:28,560 Speaker 2: we did them. So Demont's take us through this year's Yes. 642 00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:31,279 Speaker 3: So the NBA has had declining ratings this year and 643 00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,680 Speaker 3: people were killing the current state of the game. There's 644 00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:36,200 Speaker 3: nothing like a lofty New Year's resolution to turn it 645 00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:40,399 Speaker 3: all around fix all those problems. The NBA's twenty twenty 646 00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:41,799 Speaker 3: five resolution should. 647 00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:46,759 Speaker 2: Be for honestly, got it. 648 00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:52,120 Speaker 3: Oh, let him fight, let him fight. Go on, docky. 649 00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:55,120 Speaker 3: They do it in baseball. Tired of the tough guy. 650 00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:57,640 Speaker 3: You guys just run up to each other. It's like, oh, 651 00:45:57,680 --> 00:45:59,480 Speaker 3: we're gonna fight. We're gonna fight. The refs go and 652 00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:02,240 Speaker 3: break it up. Swing a guy to the ground, actually 653 00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:04,520 Speaker 3: hit somebody. You know, don't kill anybody. You don't fight 654 00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:08,640 Speaker 3: any of the fans. But yeah, I mean my guys 655 00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:09,960 Speaker 3: pointed each other in the face every. 656 00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:12,479 Speaker 2: Once in a while. Wow, I didn't I didn't see 657 00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:16,200 Speaker 2: that take coming. That would be uh, at least short 658 00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:20,080 Speaker 2: term fix. I will tell you this, Madam Silver is like, 659 00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:24,759 Speaker 2: you know what fighting's allowed now, people would tune in more. Uh. 660 00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:29,720 Speaker 2: I don't hate it. I don't hate the idea. I'm 661 00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:36,480 Speaker 2: curious how many uh international players Draymond would fight before 662 00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:40,760 Speaker 2: he fought an actual American player. It's a long list. 663 00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:47,359 Speaker 2: But uh so that's an interesting uh my. My response 664 00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:52,520 Speaker 2: to that is a little more I guess serious, But 665 00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:57,720 Speaker 2: demonsic is probably better. Need the next crop of superstars 666 00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:00,359 Speaker 2: to take it as seriously as the previous crow it. 667 00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:08,200 Speaker 2: That'll help, like to take it really seriously regular season 668 00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:12,439 Speaker 2: round and I think that would help a lot. We've 669 00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:14,440 Speaker 2: spent a lot of time talking about the three pointer 670 00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:17,400 Speaker 2: and load management and I don't want to do that 671 00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:19,680 Speaker 2: right now. But I also just think a level of 672 00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:24,719 Speaker 2: maturity from this next this group of guys that you 673 00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:27,520 Speaker 2: know you have. You still have a Lebron, you still 674 00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:30,680 Speaker 2: have Steph, you still have Durant that have given you 675 00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:34,640 Speaker 2: the blueprint for how to be a pro in this 676 00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:38,719 Speaker 2: league and last for a decade and a half to 677 00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:43,320 Speaker 2: two decades, and you can follow it or you can't. 678 00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:47,560 Speaker 3: Next a few weeks back, you attack the NFL playoff 679 00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:51,160 Speaker 3: format for ruining late season intrigue. Assuming there's no chance 680 00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:53,879 Speaker 3: the NFL gives up the extra game, what's the next 681 00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:57,400 Speaker 3: the next big thing the NFL's twenty twenty five resolution 682 00:47:57,480 --> 00:47:57,840 Speaker 3: should be. 683 00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:03,120 Speaker 2: Oh, I don't think they've listen. I don't. I don't 684 00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:07,200 Speaker 2: like the seven teams in the playoffs. I think it's 685 00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:10,440 Speaker 2: unnecessary and I think it would be way more exciting 686 00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:16,399 Speaker 2: if I'd rather have a good team left out than 687 00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:19,319 Speaker 2: a bad team in. And I know that. I just 688 00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:22,440 Speaker 2: think it makes the regular season feel more meaningful. I 689 00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:26,600 Speaker 2: think it'd be really interesting if as good as Green 690 00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:30,000 Speaker 2: Bay and Washington have been this year, if neither one 691 00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:32,479 Speaker 2: of them knew, like if both of them are like, man, 692 00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:35,719 Speaker 2: we might miss the playoffs. I think it'd be interesting 693 00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:42,880 Speaker 2: if I guess in the AFC now it would it's set. 694 00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:45,120 Speaker 2: But I think that would have meant that Denver blew 695 00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:47,799 Speaker 2: their playoffs spot this past week, like that stuff. So 696 00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:50,680 Speaker 2: I'm saying it's set if they were only six teams. 697 00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,879 Speaker 2: But the NFL probably doesn't need to change much. Man, 698 00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:58,280 Speaker 2: they're kind of rolling. I mean, it's it's working for them. Next. 699 00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:02,279 Speaker 3: The Dallas Boys underwhelm this year, yet it seems like 700 00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:03,920 Speaker 3: there's a real chance that they run it back with 701 00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,719 Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy if they ever want to get back to 702 00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,640 Speaker 3: the Super Bowl. The Cowboys twenty twenty five resolution should be. 703 00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:16,080 Speaker 2: Well. In the long term, it's to not have Jerry 704 00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:21,040 Speaker 2: running everything, but that's not gonna happen. Short terms, it's 705 00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:24,560 Speaker 2: bite the bullet fire McCarthy, hire Mike Vrabel and try 706 00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:27,799 Speaker 2: to install a culture. I mean, that's his obvious because 707 00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:29,279 Speaker 2: you're not gonna be able to change the quarterback. You're 708 00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:32,080 Speaker 2: not changing the GM. You know, Mike is gonna be 709 00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:34,560 Speaker 2: their CD is gonna be there. Those are excellent players. 710 00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:39,000 Speaker 2: You need a guy, an established head coach, and I 711 00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:46,040 Speaker 2: just don't I think people have maybe forgotten what Mike 712 00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:49,680 Speaker 2: Vrabel did with a team with a way worse quarterback 713 00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:53,480 Speaker 2: than Dak Prescott. His first year in Tennessee, they won 714 00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:57,239 Speaker 2: nine games. His second year in Tennessee, they won nine 715 00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:04,000 Speaker 2: games and made the af Championship Game. His third year 716 00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:09,440 Speaker 2: in Tennessee, they won eleven games. His fourth year in Tennessee, 717 00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:14,640 Speaker 2: they won twelve games and were the number one seed 718 00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:20,800 Speaker 2: in the conference. Then they traded aj Brown won seven 719 00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:23,520 Speaker 2: games the next year, six games last year, and they 720 00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:27,840 Speaker 2: fired him. That guy's an excellent coach, and that's what 721 00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:28,800 Speaker 2: I would do next. 722 00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:33,080 Speaker 3: The Jets also underwhelm, but that was expected. The teams 723 00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:36,439 Speaker 3: of dumpster Fire and Rodgers has washed to finally turn 724 00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:39,320 Speaker 3: things around. The Jets twenty twenty five resolution should. 725 00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:43,240 Speaker 2: Be, I mean, obviously, get out of the Aaron Rodgers 726 00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:48,120 Speaker 2: business is far away from Aaron Rodgers possible go ahead. 727 00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:50,040 Speaker 3: How likely do you think it is that they run 728 00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:51,319 Speaker 3: it back with him as of now? 729 00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:58,799 Speaker 2: Very unlikely. Coach Manginie has been pretty plugged in on 730 00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:02,080 Speaker 2: this stuff, and he said when Rogers started poking fun 731 00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:06,440 Speaker 2: at the owner's teenage son Brick, that that was Rogers 732 00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:10,279 Speaker 2: basically because the heat Rogers went on there was a 733 00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:15,280 Speaker 2: report that the Woody Johnson's kids are like deeply involved, 734 00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:20,440 Speaker 2: and Rogers then went on McAfee and said, yeah, you know, 735 00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:23,279 Speaker 2: I've never been cut by a teenager before, so that 736 00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:26,520 Speaker 2: would be a first, like poking fun at that, and 737 00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:28,759 Speaker 2: Mangini said that to him trying to shoot his way 738 00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:33,200 Speaker 2: out of town. But Wild's had a rare great tweet 739 00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:36,080 Speaker 2: during the Jets game this weekend on that third and 740 00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:38,760 Speaker 2: one play when Rogers could have run for a first, 741 00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:42,120 Speaker 2: could have then had a wide open throw to the 742 00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:46,359 Speaker 2: tight end and it didn't run, made the pass, threw 743 00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:48,680 Speaker 2: it five yards short and then yelled at the tight 744 00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:52,640 Speaker 2: end and he was like, this is perfect Darreon Rodgers 745 00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:55,719 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. Not mobile enough to run for it, 746 00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:58,520 Speaker 2: not accurate enough to throw for it, not humble enough 747 00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:01,880 Speaker 2: to admit that was my mistake, not yours. So I 748 00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:04,160 Speaker 2: would just get out of the Aaron Rodgers business and 749 00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:07,680 Speaker 2: let me say something here that we won't clip and post. 750 00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:11,560 Speaker 2: But if somebody, if we've one of the aggregators or 751 00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:15,880 Speaker 2: blogs or whatever has happens to be watching live and 752 00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:20,800 Speaker 2: clips it all on it, but we won't publicize it. Uh. 753 00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:28,800 Speaker 2: There is a rich irony to Pat McAfee correctly calling 754 00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:34,200 Speaker 2: out the Indianapolis Colts for toxic culture and no leadership 755 00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:39,759 Speaker 2: within the franchise while guffawing and hosting Aaron Rodgers every Tuesday. 756 00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:43,080 Speaker 2: He was like, this is what's wrong with the Colts. 757 00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:46,120 Speaker 2: This what let me tell you, the Colts will never 758 00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:49,440 Speaker 2: win like this, this is what's wrong. Just goes scorched 759 00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:54,480 Speaker 2: earth on them, and then every Tuesday has Aaron on 760 00:52:55,040 --> 00:53:00,319 Speaker 2: as Aaron has lit the Jets franchise on fire from 761 00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:04,920 Speaker 2: the inside out and has no problem with it. Like that. 762 00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:06,680 Speaker 2: Irony is not lost on me. 763 00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:10,440 Speaker 3: Pat McAfee's the friend that keeps the friend around just 764 00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:13,959 Speaker 3: because he's embarrassed, embarrasses himself and makes himself look better. 765 00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:19,839 Speaker 2: So I don't think that's I mean, I so I don't. 766 00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:22,080 Speaker 3: Every time Aaron Rodgers goes up there, it's bad. 767 00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:26,880 Speaker 2: It's like, and you think he looks better in comparison. 768 00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:30,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think it's just for everybody's amusement. 769 00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:32,279 Speaker 3: But that's me. 770 00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:35,440 Speaker 2: Maybe, I mean, listen, maybe he's playing forty chess that 771 00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:38,840 Speaker 2: I'm not seeing. I think there's a much simpler explanation. 772 00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:41,920 Speaker 2: All right, let's go to the next one. 773 00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:44,680 Speaker 3: This year, we both took a big step forward on 774 00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:47,600 Speaker 3: the Gambling Show with your picks and my teasers. Uh, 775 00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:50,760 Speaker 3: but there's always room for growth. Obviously. Our twenty twenty 776 00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:52,319 Speaker 3: five gambling resolution should be. 777 00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:57,359 Speaker 2: I mean, keep it going the I'm trying to see 778 00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:01,359 Speaker 2: what was this my seventh straight no? Because I went 779 00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:03,319 Speaker 2: three and two again this week. So this is my 780 00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:10,000 Speaker 2: sixth straight winning week and my eighth of my last 781 00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:14,080 Speaker 2: nine weeks have been winning weeks on the year, now 782 00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:19,760 Speaker 2: forty seven thirty seven and one and over the last 783 00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:22,920 Speaker 2: six weeks. Let me do this math real quick, over 784 00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:28,680 Speaker 2: the last six weeks, four, eight, twelve, and then twenty 785 00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:34,000 Speaker 2: one and fourteen. No, that's wrong. Give myself more credit. 786 00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:37,959 Speaker 2: Twenty one and nine over the last six weeks, which 787 00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:42,880 Speaker 2: is awesome. And so yeah, I mean, I think, in 788 00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:48,640 Speaker 2: all seriousness, I think that early in the year I 789 00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:57,120 Speaker 2: probably should just favor dogs way more, because what hurts 790 00:54:57,160 --> 00:54:59,080 Speaker 2: me is I don't really have a feel early in 791 00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:01,040 Speaker 2: the year kind of be hard and I get a 792 00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:03,759 Speaker 2: little too. I don't want to say fancy, but I 793 00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,680 Speaker 2: may be ambitious with the picks. And you know that 794 00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:10,040 Speaker 2: early in season on underdogs historically are the right play. 795 00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:13,279 Speaker 2: So that's probably the first few weeks while I get 796 00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:16,920 Speaker 2: my footing, you know, things that are just historical plays, 797 00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:21,520 Speaker 2: like you know, divisional underdogs, things like that. And then 798 00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:25,440 Speaker 2: once I, as Danny would say, see the NFL really 799 00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:31,959 Speaker 2: clearly as I have been lately, that is that's where 800 00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:34,960 Speaker 2: that's where I think I can make my money. All right, 801 00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:36,680 Speaker 2: last one, demanse. 802 00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:40,400 Speaker 3: Every year sports media does stuff that makes you angry. 803 00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:43,799 Speaker 3: Let's fix that. Let's fix that. Sports Media's twenty twenty 804 00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:45,040 Speaker 3: five resolutions should be. 805 00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:49,239 Speaker 2: Well listen, you know what, I just did something that 806 00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:54,240 Speaker 2: I said I don't do, which is I don't really 807 00:55:54,320 --> 00:56:00,160 Speaker 2: get in the you know, inner media beef stuff, even 808 00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:03,240 Speaker 2: though it was very clear that that's like a successful 809 00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:08,680 Speaker 2: lane for podcasts and YouTube shows people like that. I 810 00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:13,719 Speaker 2: gotta tell you that little mcfeeeron Rodgers segment, I gave 811 00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:16,480 Speaker 2: me a little little jolt. I kind of enjoyed it. 812 00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:19,919 Speaker 2: So maybe my resolution is gonna be I'm gonna I'm 813 00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:23,840 Speaker 2: gonna go uh do the opposite of the Michelle Obama 814 00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,520 Speaker 2: when they go low, I'll go low too, Like, maybe 815 00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:28,680 Speaker 2: that's what I'll do. I don't know, it could be fun. 816 00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:31,880 Speaker 2: There's a lot of dopes in the field, a lot 817 00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:38,239 Speaker 2: and uh and I am not as worried about my 818 00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:41,759 Speaker 2: kind of universal popularity as maybe others are. So maybe 819 00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:44,880 Speaker 2: that's what I'll do. No promises, but there's a few 820 00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:50,719 Speaker 2: that are ripe for the picking here and uh and 821 00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:55,839 Speaker 2: so we'll you know, we'll see uh the so we've 822 00:56:55,840 --> 00:57:00,160 Speaker 2: got you. Oh, by the way, Well, maybe I mean 823 00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:05,040 Speaker 2: there might makes yeah, yeah, I mean there might be. 824 00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:08,440 Speaker 2: I mean, there's there's a few people in particular that 825 00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:14,719 Speaker 2: it feels like, you know, their comeuppance is due, so 826 00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:17,080 Speaker 2: that could be maybe that's maybe that'll be a new 827 00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:19,240 Speaker 2: feature of the pod in the new year. We'll see 828 00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:21,959 Speaker 2: quick break right back, what's right? 829 00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:27,600 Speaker 3: All right? 830 00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:31,640 Speaker 2: Welcome back in demand. Let's run through some listener questions 831 00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:32,919 Speaker 2: quick before I got to get out. 832 00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:36,280 Speaker 3: Of here, WX says. Each year we see how valuable 833 00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:40,240 Speaker 3: quarterback rushing is, and it seems the mobile quarterbacks, for example, Stafford, 834 00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:43,520 Speaker 3: are too limited as has the mobile QB become the 835 00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:47,080 Speaker 3: NFL's version of a sinner that can't shoot in today's NBA. 836 00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:53,040 Speaker 2: No, there is a limitation associated with it. But Burrow's 837 00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:58,320 Speaker 2: not mobile, Donald's not mobile, Golf's not mobile, Stafford's not mobile. 838 00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:01,560 Speaker 2: Three of those guys having the best years of their career, 839 00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:07,960 Speaker 2: and Stafford's always dangerous. So it is. It is because 840 00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:12,840 Speaker 2: the traditional pocket passer is becoming, you know, less the standard, 841 00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:19,720 Speaker 2: but Golf, Donald and Burrow are having some of the 842 00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:22,080 Speaker 2: best years any players in the league. So no, I 843 00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:26,240 Speaker 2: don't I don't think that, but I do think I, 844 00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:29,480 Speaker 2: you know, shocker to no one. The best version of 845 00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:34,520 Speaker 2: it is Mahomes Stylistically, forget the talent, a guy that 846 00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:38,360 Speaker 2: has the ability to run, but truly only does it 847 00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:41,160 Speaker 2: in emergency scenarios. That's the best version. 848 00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:45,800 Speaker 3: Next, Tyler question for Nick, do you like Donald to 849 00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:47,520 Speaker 3: the forty nine ers and letting Perty go? 850 00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:53,760 Speaker 2: I depends on the price. And I you know Donald 851 00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:56,200 Speaker 2: was there last year and they loved him, and so 852 00:58:56,520 --> 00:58:59,640 Speaker 2: I I also want to get the results of this 853 00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:02,880 Speaker 2: late Perty elbow injury. And if it's nothing, it's nothing. 854 00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:07,040 Speaker 2: If it's significant, that that's a very big problem for them. 855 00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:11,360 Speaker 3: Next, Curtis ranked the rookie quarterbacks from best season to worse. 856 00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:13,000 Speaker 3: Now that the season is wrapping. 857 00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:18,400 Speaker 2: Up, well, Jaden's clearly number one. As far as the 858 00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:23,200 Speaker 2: individual seasons they've had. It would go Jaden one, Bow 859 00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:27,680 Speaker 2: Knicks two, Caleb three, Drake May four. That's what it 860 00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:33,720 Speaker 2: would be as far as my stock in guys moving forward. 861 00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:37,160 Speaker 2: Of those four, I'm not gonna include Pennis because he 862 00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:41,120 Speaker 2: hasn't played enough and McCarthy hasn't played at all for me, 863 00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:45,400 Speaker 2: and I know this is not what America believes. That's fine. 864 00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:48,680 Speaker 2: I would go Caleb one. I would go exact order 865 00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:53,160 Speaker 2: they were drafted. Actually, Caleb, Jaden, Drake bo Bow's been 866 00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:55,400 Speaker 2: way better than Drake this year, but I think Drake 867 00:59:55,480 --> 01:00:00,800 Speaker 2: has more upside and Jaden, I worry about the injury stuff, 868 01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:04,440 Speaker 2: but he's been so electric. My god, he's been electric. 869 01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:09,040 Speaker 3: Next, Bradley Nick, I think your ravens Lamar take is 870 01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:12,400 Speaker 3: mostly correct. The one thing I would change is is 871 01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:16,120 Speaker 3: it's not big games, it's emotional games. Oughts. I think 872 01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:18,080 Speaker 3: it's like how Andy's time ended in Philly. 873 01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:22,120 Speaker 2: So that's interesting. Maybe it is emotional games and he 874 01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:25,000 Speaker 2: gets in his own head. Maybe it's so Maybe it's 875 01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:28,640 Speaker 2: a that. I gotta think more on that, but that 876 01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:34,440 Speaker 2: seems like a plausible idea. All right, last one, uh Toamas. 877 01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:37,640 Speaker 3: If Lebron retires after this year, do you think the 878 01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:40,040 Speaker 3: NBA loses even more eyes or do you think it 879 01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:43,400 Speaker 3: a right or sorry? Or do you think it revitalizes 880 01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:43,800 Speaker 3: the league? 881 01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:47,960 Speaker 2: Oh? I think it'd be really bad for the league. 882 01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:49,680 Speaker 2: I don't think they're ready for Lebron to retire, but 883 01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:53,360 Speaker 2: he's not going to listen. I'm not claiming to be 884 01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:56,680 Speaker 2: Lebron's closest confidant, but what I will tell you is this, 885 01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:00,720 Speaker 2: Lebron James ain't leaving the NBA without a farewell tour. 886 01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:04,760 Speaker 2: I feel very confident in that Lebron's not gonna be like, 887 01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:07,240 Speaker 2: all right, guys, that's it. I think he's gonna give 888 01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:13,240 Speaker 2: us fair warning on it. I also think that he 889 01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:17,400 Speaker 2: wants to play twenty three years as a like, to 890 01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:22,680 Speaker 2: really wrestle that twenty three number away from Michael Jordan entirely. 891 01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:26,240 Speaker 2: He wore it played twenty three years like it feels 892 01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:29,440 Speaker 2: fitting now. Yesterday he was like, I could play five 893 01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:33,439 Speaker 2: to seven more at this level. And I think he's 894 01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:38,000 Speaker 2: probably telling the truth amazingly, but he's he's gonna get bored. 895 01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:42,600 Speaker 2: I'd love him to play a nice round twenty five years, 896 01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:48,360 Speaker 2: but that's not gonna happen. And so that we'll talk 897 01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:51,760 Speaker 2: more Lebron and and be listen, there's been some I 898 01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:54,960 Speaker 2: don't know if it's complaints, but you know, noticing that 899 01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:58,720 Speaker 2: we have not done nearly as much NBA this year 900 01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:01,520 Speaker 2: as we have a year past. We obviously will once 901 01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:03,760 Speaker 2: football is over, and we probably will in this coming 902 01:02:03,840 --> 01:02:07,880 Speaker 2: month when there's less football news. But I've just been 903 01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:10,320 Speaker 2: so dialed into what I think has been a dynamic 904 01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:13,720 Speaker 2: NFL season that I haven't really had as much interest 905 01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:16,440 Speaker 2: in talking NBA as of yet.
