0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:46.240
<v Speaker 2>Welcome in What Driving the Great? Episode two eighty eight.

0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:50.479
<v Speaker 2>Fresh off a little Christmas break, when I actually Demanse

0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:54.680
<v Speaker 2>was here in New York, Demonse gave me one of

0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:58.880
<v Speaker 2>the pardon me, greatest gifts I've ever received from anyone.

0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:02.440
<v Speaker 2>I can't do it justice by describing it, because when

0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:06.759
<v Speaker 2>I describe it, it'll sound ridiculous. But when I tell

0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:11.280
<v Speaker 2>you it's a matching Monopoly sweatsuit and it is awesome,

0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:13.680
<v Speaker 2>you're just gonna have to take my word for it.

0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:16.560
<v Speaker 2>I'll wear it on the show at one point in time, Demons,

0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:21.720
<v Speaker 2>you've really run the gamut on presence the last two

0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:25.959
<v Speaker 2>occasions for me Christmas one hundred out of one hundred

0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:30.280
<v Speaker 2>all time. My birthday, I'm pretty sure Demanse sent me

0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:38.120
<v Speaker 2>a vape and that's what it was. And even he

0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:39.960
<v Speaker 2>wrote a card. He was like, this might be a

0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:42.880
<v Speaker 2>dumb present. I was like, I might use it. Who knows.

0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:47.200
<v Speaker 2>All right, here's what missed the oh speaking of presents, well,

0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:51.280
<v Speaker 2>here's what missed the cut. Baker Mayfield playing great. There's

0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:57.000
<v Speaker 2>too many bad clock management things these coaches that it

0:01:57.240 --> 0:02:00.880
<v Speaker 2>used the problem with coaches used to be they burn

0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:04.760
<v Speaker 2>their timeouts too early. There is now a scourge of

0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:09.160
<v Speaker 2>coaches who have timeouts and are afraid to use them.

0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:11.640
<v Speaker 2>I never seen anything like it. Raem Morris might have

0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:13.799
<v Speaker 2>cost em a chance of the playoffs and Sin and

0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.200
<v Speaker 2>Roll pop Tart gets toasted. I and totally understand what

0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:21.239
<v Speaker 2>that's songbo, But that's fine. Also, speaking of Christmas, we

0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:28.280
<v Speaker 2>are one Tampa Bay victory over the New Orleans Saints

0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:33.680
<v Speaker 2>away from having given the audience a great Christmas gift

0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:38.480
<v Speaker 2>a few weeks ago when we gave you this division

0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:43.440
<v Speaker 2>winner exact run the clip from four weeks ago.

0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:47.960
<v Speaker 3>Please would you parlay LA and Tampa Bay to win

0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:51.080
<v Speaker 3>their divisions at seven to twenty plus seven twenty.

0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:55.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I would, I do think that's what's gonna happen. Wow, Okay,

0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:58.440
<v Speaker 2>well that was very sure to the point clip. But yes,

0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:02.560
<v Speaker 2>that is exactly what happened. And I thought maybe I

0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:05.440
<v Speaker 2>gave more sparkling analysis there. I didn't quite remember, but

0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:09.200
<v Speaker 2>that was great either way. And so there it is.

0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:14.639
<v Speaker 2>LA has won the division, Tampa looks like they're going

0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:20.000
<v Speaker 2>to and so Los Angeles has a meaningless Week eighteen game,

0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:24.720
<v Speaker 2>so they'll of course rest their people, as responsible teams do.

0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:28.600
<v Speaker 2>That is not what the Lions did last night, and

0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 2>that's where we'll start the show.

0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:32.880
<v Speaker 3>Go ahead, Yeah, so, I mean they played all their guys,

0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:36.680
<v Speaker 3>they got the win, but Brock Purdy got a little

0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:39.000
<v Speaker 3>banged up there. So do you think with brock perty

0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:41.160
<v Speaker 3>getting hurt and how the season has gone that it

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:43.960
<v Speaker 3>might have affected his ability to get paid next year?

0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:50.800
<v Speaker 2>So yes, definitively. Let me start with the Lions. The

0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:54.680
<v Speaker 2>Lions side of things is, I know there is now

0:03:56.200 --> 0:04:01.400
<v Speaker 2>there is probably some oh decision vindicated by Dan Campbell

0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:04.760
<v Speaker 2>and the Lions. I totally disagree with that. I thought

0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:08.480
<v Speaker 2>it was reckless in the moment, and I actually don't

0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:12.040
<v Speaker 2>think yesterday's game went in a way. I don't think

0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:15.520
<v Speaker 2>that decision could have been vindicated. But I think the

0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:19.760
<v Speaker 2>way yesterday's game played out, actually the opposite happened, because

0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:24.480
<v Speaker 2>it's just sixty more minutes of football demonstrating that that

0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:29.680
<v Speaker 2>defense can't get stops, sixty more minutes of football demonstrating

0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:32.440
<v Speaker 2>that the Lions have one way and one way only

0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:35.240
<v Speaker 2>to beat you. And listen, that offense is awesome. But

0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:39.440
<v Speaker 2>we knew that offense was awesome before last night's game,

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:47.480
<v Speaker 2>and I did not understand Dan Campbell's insistence that, of

0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:52.000
<v Speaker 2>course we're playing our guys when let's just say, for

0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:56.000
<v Speaker 2>the sake of argument, the Vikings had lost to the

0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:59.480
<v Speaker 2>Packers and then the Lions game last night would have

0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:04.240
<v Speaker 2>been meaningful, and the Lions win that game. In that scenario,

0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:09.280
<v Speaker 2>then the Lions would have last night locked up the

0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:10.000
<v Speaker 2>one seed.

0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:10.640
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.800
<v Speaker 2>Would Dan Campbell have played all his guys in Week eighteen?

0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:18.320
<v Speaker 2>Of course not. I think it was a weird mental

0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:23.440
<v Speaker 2>block of the meaningless game not being the final game

0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:26.960
<v Speaker 2>of the year, and therefore he felt an obligation to

0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:32.400
<v Speaker 2>play his people. But it is not hyperbolic to say

0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:40.200
<v Speaker 2>Lions Vikings Week eighteen Sunday Night Football Game two seventy two,

0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:44.719
<v Speaker 2>where the winner gets the buy the one seed home

0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:48.359
<v Speaker 2>field advantage and the loser is going to be playing

0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:52.520
<v Speaker 2>on the road starting in round one for the entirety

0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:55.680
<v Speaker 2>of the playoffs. It is not an exaggeration to say

0:05:56.080 --> 0:06:00.400
<v Speaker 2>that is one of the biggest regular season games when

0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:03.080
<v Speaker 2>it comes to who's going to win the championship or

0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:06.479
<v Speaker 2>certainly who's going to be in the super Bowl. In

0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:13.599
<v Speaker 2>NFL history, very very difficult to find many instances where

0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:16.559
<v Speaker 2>it is as cut and dry as win the game,

0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:22.159
<v Speaker 2>you are have the best possible path. Lose the game,

0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:25.320
<v Speaker 2>you drop all the way to the five line. Now

0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:27.600
<v Speaker 2>people can say, oh, it's not We've had a lot

0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:32.080
<v Speaker 2>of games where winner gets in the playoffs, losers eliminated.

0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:38.479
<v Speaker 2>Those games when it comes to crowning a champion, are

0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:43.080
<v Speaker 2>not as meaningful as this Lions Vikings game, because typically

0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:47.680
<v Speaker 2>if you are in a situation where if you lose

0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:53.279
<v Speaker 2>in Week eighteen, you miss the playoffs, you're not championship

0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:58.600
<v Speaker 2>caliber to begin with. Whoever wins this game is going

0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:01.599
<v Speaker 2>to have the second best record in the entire NFL Hell,

0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:06.039
<v Speaker 2>maybe tied for the best record because the Chiefs' backups

0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:09.360
<v Speaker 2>might lose. Whoever loses this game is going to have

0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:11.680
<v Speaker 2>the third best record, but one of the hardest paths.

0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:16.280
<v Speaker 2>So the reason I'm focused on that is it's not

0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:20.280
<v Speaker 2>only that you could have been as fresh as possible,

0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:24.920
<v Speaker 2>it's that your game's Monday night, so you're on short

0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:28.520
<v Speaker 2>rest now, and you opted into it for the Lions,

0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:32.880
<v Speaker 2>and you just got more evidence that your team can't

0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:35.280
<v Speaker 2>get stops. So I did not like that at all.

0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:41.600
<v Speaker 2>Now on the brock Purty stuff, if I were to

0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:46.720
<v Speaker 2>before the year have laid out a worst case scenario season,

0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:54.720
<v Speaker 2>this would be really close to it, where the Avengers

0:07:54.800 --> 0:08:02.400
<v Speaker 2>are banged up, the Niners win six games. At the

0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:06.240
<v Speaker 2>end of the year, they play their worst football of

0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:10.640
<v Speaker 2>the season. Like keep in mind, this Niner season, we

0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:14.360
<v Speaker 2>are looking at it as right now a season from hell,

0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:19.680
<v Speaker 2>But it didn't start that way. It started rocky, but

0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:23.240
<v Speaker 2>they were five and four. They were four and four

0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:28.320
<v Speaker 2>going into the by and then got maybe their best

0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:32.800
<v Speaker 2>win of the whole season at Tampa Bay to get

0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:36.480
<v Speaker 2>to five and four and were in that moment a

0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:41.560
<v Speaker 2>game out of first place. Since then, they have lost

0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:46.920
<v Speaker 2>six of seven and the last three they lost like

0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:52.480
<v Speaker 2>this when it comes to brock Purty, worst case scenario,

0:08:53.160 --> 0:09:01.439
<v Speaker 2>down three to the Rams, five minutes left infield goal range,

0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:10.000
<v Speaker 2>interception and you lose. The next week, down five against

0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:14.800
<v Speaker 2>the Dolphins, how much time is left? Two minutes left

0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:22.800
<v Speaker 2>past midfield interception and you lose. Last night, after playing

0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:27.720
<v Speaker 2>a close to perfect first half of football, down six,

0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:33.840
<v Speaker 2>fourth quarter, you've already thrown one interception to get the

0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:39.680
<v Speaker 2>Lions back in it. Interception and you get banged up

0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:51.280
<v Speaker 2>and you lose. You now have a player who is undersized,

0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:59.160
<v Speaker 2>a legitimate injury concern, who is just had and he

0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:03.560
<v Speaker 2>probably won't play against the Cardinals, so that's probably the

0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:06.960
<v Speaker 2>end of his season. Who just had a brutal year

0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:10.800
<v Speaker 2>where they lost six of seven and three straight games.

0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:15.440
<v Speaker 2>Ball in his hands, chanced to take the lead, chance

0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:22.360
<v Speaker 2>to win the game, and through an interception and saw

0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:28.960
<v Speaker 2>this from Josh Dubo or debau the associated press. Brock

0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:34.520
<v Speaker 2>Purty win down one to eight points in the fourth

0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:39.440
<v Speaker 2>quarter or overtime in regular season or the playoffs. Forty

0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:45.280
<v Speaker 2>one for seventy two, five hundred yards, three touchdowns, seven

0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:50.480
<v Speaker 2>picks of fifty three passer rating. Party ranks won one

0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:53.959
<v Speaker 2>hundred and fifty first out of one hundred and sixty

0:10:54.080 --> 0:11:00.800
<v Speaker 2>quarterbacks with fifty plus attempts. In that scenario this century,

0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:07.000
<v Speaker 2>you just can't pay that player, not right now. And

0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:17.000
<v Speaker 2>I I am not saying the Niners are going to

0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:21.640
<v Speaker 2>move off Brock Party in favor of Sam Darnold, but

0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:27.760
<v Speaker 2>if the opportunity presents itself, they're going to have those discussions.

0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:34.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying that brock Purty is going to all

0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:37.679
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden show up to training camp next year

0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:43.000
<v Speaker 2>and see there's another league minimum quarterback on the roster

0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:48.640
<v Speaker 2>who just happens to be the apple of Kyle Shanahan's

0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:52.840
<v Speaker 2>eye for the last ten years, Kirk Cousins. But it's

0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:59.640
<v Speaker 2>on the board. And I'm not saying that the Niners

0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:04.480
<v Speaker 2>are going to make the grievous error of bringing in

0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:09.720
<v Speaker 2>Aaron Rodgers, but they're gonna have meetings about it. And

0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:14.480
<v Speaker 2>here's what they're not gonna do, if they have any

0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:17.960
<v Speaker 2>sense to them whatsoever, pay Brock Party when they don't

0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:25.160
<v Speaker 2>have to, and he's under contract next year for a

0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:29.319
<v Speaker 2>million bucks. You then have the wildly unfair but incredibly

0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:34.320
<v Speaker 2>useful franchise tag available to you. And that's the situation.

0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:37.760
<v Speaker 2>And so I will ask you this de Monsey before

0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:42.720
<v Speaker 2>we move on. Last year, I think it's fair to

0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:47.040
<v Speaker 2>say that you thought I was a little unfair or

0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:53.480
<v Speaker 2>harsh on brock Party, having seen this season. If you

0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:58.640
<v Speaker 2>were the Niners and you had options of giving him

0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:02.800
<v Speaker 2>the franchise quarterback, tracked, making him play out his deal,

0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:08.200
<v Speaker 2>or bringing in another quarterback, I think I know which

0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:11.160
<v Speaker 2>option you would take. But what which of those three

0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:12.520
<v Speaker 2>doors would you walk through?

0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:18.880
<v Speaker 3>I definitely would I wouldn't pay him, I mean and

0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:20.600
<v Speaker 3>if I did pay him, yeah, I wouldn't pay him

0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:24.800
<v Speaker 3>the franchise quarterback. You know standard them? Well, right, offer it,

0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:27.400
<v Speaker 3>but is that just not a thing? Do they not

0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:29.800
<v Speaker 3>accept that? Like twenty million bucks less?

0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:33.200
<v Speaker 2>Well? I mean yeah? So like would he take the

0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:36.839
<v Speaker 2>Baker Mayfield deal three for one hundred million? I don't know.

0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:40.520
<v Speaker 2>Maybe they'll offer him that, like maybe that they'll get

0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:44.520
<v Speaker 2>they'll offer him that. I think his agent would say,

0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:47.600
<v Speaker 2>you've got to be kidding me. Look at to his deal,

0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:53.080
<v Speaker 2>look at Trevor's deal, look at Kyler's deal. And those

0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:57.480
<v Speaker 2>guys had down years, but they just wasn't their last year. Yeah,

0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:01.480
<v Speaker 2>and I mean Brocksman, he needs the guy, and so

0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:05.320
<v Speaker 2>I just I think it's a very interesting offseason coming

0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:12.960
<v Speaker 2>in San Francisco. And all last year I took the

0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:18.680
<v Speaker 2>slings and arrows for Flatley, saying I'm sorry. I know

0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:23.760
<v Speaker 2>it's not popular, and I know that his resume of

0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:30.120
<v Speaker 2>stats and wins and accomplishments measures up favorably to basically

0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:33.400
<v Speaker 2>any quarterback in NFL history through twenty five games, but

0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:36.560
<v Speaker 2>I didn't believe it, and I think this year's proven

0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:41.400
<v Speaker 2>it out. All right, Now, let's get to something that

0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:46.840
<v Speaker 2>is controversial because people are idiots.

0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:51.000
<v Speaker 3>Go ahead, Yeah, so Twitter did, Like, so you came

0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:52.800
<v Speaker 3>on to Twitter and you said the New England should

0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:55.720
<v Speaker 3>go and shop Shador, you know, despite the fact that

0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:59.000
<v Speaker 3>they already have Drake May. Yeah, and you said that

0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:01.800
<v Speaker 3>they should also go on and get Dion Sanders. This

0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:07.920
<v Speaker 3>tandem just lost to byu inaliableble. So defend yourself. What's

0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:08.600
<v Speaker 3>the logic there?

0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:11.960
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So that's a slight misrepresentation of what I said.

0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:18.760
<v Speaker 2>Here's what I said. When you have which the Patriots

0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:20.480
<v Speaker 2>do right now. Now, I don't know if they're gonna

0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:25.520
<v Speaker 2>keep it because they might beat Buffalo's backups. But when

0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:33.560
<v Speaker 2>you have pick one one, every single option must be

0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:42.160
<v Speaker 2>on the table, every option. So one option is best

0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:47.880
<v Speaker 2>player available, flatly, whether that's Travis Hunter, whether that's the

0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:52.360
<v Speaker 2>tackle from Texas, whatever it is, what is the tackle

0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:56.040
<v Speaker 2>from Texas's name? I'm gonna find it real quick. My apologies,

0:15:56.040 --> 0:16:00.760
<v Speaker 2>I should have already had it. The I doesn't matter.

0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:06.640
<v Speaker 2>I guess whomever it is, the oh, Kevin Calvin Banks.

0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:12.400
<v Speaker 2>But regardless, one option has to be just best player available.

0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:16.040
<v Speaker 2>You have to look at that. Another thing you have

0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:20.000
<v Speaker 2>to look at is every single trade offer you receive.

0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:22.920
<v Speaker 2>If a team out there wants to give you a

0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:28.560
<v Speaker 2>king's ransom because they love Chador or a cam Ward

0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:34.120
<v Speaker 2>and you can move down get extra picks. What the

0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:37.640
<v Speaker 2>Bears did that ended up netting them, Caleb Williams, what

0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:40.680
<v Speaker 2>we have seen other teams do. That's got to be

0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:45.480
<v Speaker 2>on the board. Everyone agrees that those first two things

0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:49.600
<v Speaker 2>are on the board. The third thing when you have

0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:55.560
<v Speaker 2>pick one one that must be on the board is

0:16:55.640 --> 0:17:01.400
<v Speaker 2>you do an honest evaluation of what you think about

0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:07.920
<v Speaker 2>the best quarterback in this draft versus your own quarterback.

0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:13.280
<v Speaker 2>That has to be part of the equation. And what

0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:18.880
<v Speaker 2>I said was, if they do an evaluation where they

0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:25.760
<v Speaker 2>think should Or is better than Drake May, then the

0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:29.600
<v Speaker 2>next thing you must do is see what the market

0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:35.560
<v Speaker 2>for Drake May is and in a two quarterback draft,

0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:43.200
<v Speaker 2>that market would be incredibly high. And so the somewhat

0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:49.840
<v Speaker 2>farcical but not impossible scenario is if you like should

0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:56.480
<v Speaker 2>Or more than Drake May, but the Titans like Drake

0:17:56.600 --> 0:18:01.400
<v Speaker 2>May more than cam Ward and you say, hey, we

0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:05.199
<v Speaker 2>took Drake May three overall, We'll trade him to you

0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:09.639
<v Speaker 2>for two overall, And then you do have the opportunity

0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:14.560
<v Speaker 2>to go Shadoor one Travis Hunter two. And if you

0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:18.760
<v Speaker 2>did that, I bet Dion Sanders would be willing to

0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:22.320
<v Speaker 2>coach your team if you wanted him to. And I

0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:26.119
<v Speaker 2>don't know if Dion Sanders would be a good NFL

0:18:26.200 --> 0:18:30.119
<v Speaker 2>head coach, but I do know that girod Mayo is not.

0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:37.520
<v Speaker 2>So you could get the best player available in the draft,

0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:41.760
<v Speaker 2>a quarterback that, again, if you evaluate him as better

0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:47.320
<v Speaker 2>than Drake May is an upgraded quarterback and a transformative

0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:53.880
<v Speaker 2>head coach. That's not controversial. Every team in the draft

0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:59.440
<v Speaker 2>should be having the similar discussions. You know what I'll

0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:01.920
<v Speaker 2>turn it on. It's had a bit. Now. I don't

0:19:01.920 --> 0:19:05.800
<v Speaker 2>even think they can get the number one pick, and

0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:11.080
<v Speaker 2>because of the contract, it might be implausible. But if

0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:16.200
<v Speaker 2>the Jacksonville Jaguars had the number one pick and they

0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:20.920
<v Speaker 2>did the evaluation we like Shador more than we liked Trevor,

0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:25.280
<v Speaker 2>then you shop Trevor and you draft the quarterback you

0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:30.719
<v Speaker 2>The Patriots did not take Drake May first overall, and

0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:34.080
<v Speaker 2>if they had the opportunity to draft first overall, they

0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:38.000
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't have taken Drake May. Now maybe the answer is

0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:42.080
<v Speaker 2>there were three quarterbacks in last year's draft that we

0:19:42.200 --> 0:19:46.439
<v Speaker 2>evaluate better as better prospects than any quarterback in this

0:19:46.520 --> 0:19:49.040
<v Speaker 2>year's draft, So be it. But you have to do

0:19:49.119 --> 0:19:54.680
<v Speaker 2>that evaluation. And the real pushback is from Patriot fans

0:19:55.200 --> 0:20:03.040
<v Speaker 2>who are adamant that Drake May's a superstar. And I'm listen.

0:20:03.200 --> 0:20:06.600
<v Speaker 2>I like Drake May because I like young quarterbacks. I

0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:10.120
<v Speaker 2>like athletic quarterbacks, and I don't think Drake May's had

0:20:10.480 --> 0:20:15.399
<v Speaker 2>any talent around him. So going into last year's draft,

0:20:15.480 --> 0:20:18.840
<v Speaker 2>I said I would have taken Drake over Jaden because

0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:23.639
<v Speaker 2>of the frame, the size, the age and the size

0:20:23.640 --> 0:20:26.160
<v Speaker 2>and all of that. I like Drake Moore. But Drake

0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:30.600
<v Speaker 2>May has not covered himself in glory this year. Drake

0:20:30.640 --> 0:20:36.760
<v Speaker 2>May hasn't had a single A plus game, And a

0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:41.480
<v Speaker 2>lot of the Pat fans that are most adamant Drake

0:20:41.560 --> 0:20:45.560
<v Speaker 2>May is the guy are the exact same people who

0:20:45.680 --> 0:20:49.520
<v Speaker 2>swore Mac Jones was awesome and I people will listen

0:20:49.560 --> 0:20:51.560
<v Speaker 2>to this and the thing, I'm just talking about Kevin Wilds.

0:20:51.720 --> 0:20:54.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm not just talking about Kevin Wilds, who I adore.

0:20:55.240 --> 0:21:00.320
<v Speaker 2>I listened to. I've listened all year long to Bill

0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:03.760
<v Speaker 2>Simmons talk about how awesome Drake May is up to

0:21:03.840 --> 0:21:09.600
<v Speaker 2>an including yesterday him saying cam Ward because cam Ward,

0:21:09.880 --> 0:21:12.480
<v Speaker 2>who could be quarterback one Overshito or those are the

0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:15.439
<v Speaker 2>top two quarterbacks. Cam Ward played the first half of

0:21:15.440 --> 0:21:18.400
<v Speaker 2>the Pop Tarts ball and then sat out the second half,

0:21:19.200 --> 0:21:22.840
<v Speaker 2>and Simmons just kind of said, flippantly, tell you this much,

0:21:22.920 --> 0:21:25.560
<v Speaker 2>Drake May wouldn't have done that. And it's like, hey man,

0:21:25.600 --> 0:21:27.960
<v Speaker 2>you're absolutely right. Drake May wouldn't have done that because

0:21:28.000 --> 0:21:32.160
<v Speaker 2>he sat out the entirety of his bowl game last

0:21:32.240 --> 0:21:37.480
<v Speaker 2>year to get ready for the draft, and the whole

0:21:37.560 --> 0:21:42.320
<v Speaker 2>world people Pats fans tried to convince me throughout the year. Oh,

0:21:42.400 --> 0:21:45.440
<v Speaker 2>you're not watching Drake May as closely as we are.

0:21:46.000 --> 0:21:47.280
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, you know what, that's kind of

0:21:47.280 --> 0:21:50.000
<v Speaker 2>that's somewhat fair. I think I watched the NFL as

0:21:50.040 --> 0:21:53.720
<v Speaker 2>closely as anybody, but I am not watching every single

0:21:53.760 --> 0:21:57.359
<v Speaker 2>snap of every single game live, and Pat's games are

0:21:57.480 --> 0:22:00.600
<v Speaker 2>rarely on the handful of games I rewind watch during

0:22:00.600 --> 0:22:04.280
<v Speaker 2>the week, So maybe I was under selling him, but

0:22:04.440 --> 0:22:09.520
<v Speaker 2>the whole world got to watch him Saturday. How'd that look?

0:22:10.200 --> 0:22:14.120
<v Speaker 2>And again, I think I think Drake May is going

0:22:14.160 --> 0:22:17.520
<v Speaker 2>to be a really good player. I do, But the

0:22:17.640 --> 0:22:24.720
<v Speaker 2>idea that he is sacred cow where you wouldn't do

0:22:25.000 --> 0:22:29.440
<v Speaker 2>an evaluation of do we think Shador is better? And

0:22:30.119 --> 0:22:34.240
<v Speaker 2>does the league the type of bounty we're talking about

0:22:34.280 --> 0:22:36.639
<v Speaker 2>getting for the number one pick, could we get that

0:22:36.800 --> 0:22:41.520
<v Speaker 2>same bounty for Drake May. It's just not responsible if

0:22:41.520 --> 0:22:45.280
<v Speaker 2>you're not having those discussions. So honestly, I could give

0:22:45.320 --> 0:22:51.560
<v Speaker 2>ah if all the NFL aggregator accounts, you know, retweet

0:22:51.640 --> 0:22:55.800
<v Speaker 2>the take and then say make fun of me. This

0:22:55.840 --> 0:23:01.960
<v Speaker 2>is one of those things where my confidence in my convictions,

0:23:02.840 --> 0:23:04.240
<v Speaker 2>no what you say.

0:23:04.800 --> 0:23:06.760
<v Speaker 3>You just know what you're talking about, you just know better.

0:23:08.119 --> 0:23:12.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, exactly. I just here's the thing. If you actually

0:23:12.160 --> 0:23:16.240
<v Speaker 2>listen to what I'm saying, there is not a single

0:23:16.359 --> 0:23:21.119
<v Speaker 2>argument against it. What I am saying is it is

0:23:21.200 --> 0:23:27.040
<v Speaker 2>their job to evaluate all of the players in the draft.

0:23:27.560 --> 0:23:31.400
<v Speaker 2>Because they have the first pick of the draft at

0:23:31.440 --> 0:23:34.760
<v Speaker 2>the quarterback position, there's only two guys they really got

0:23:34.760 --> 0:23:39.640
<v Speaker 2>to evaluate. If after they evaluate those two guys, they

0:23:39.760 --> 0:23:44.560
<v Speaker 2>determine they think one of them is better than the

0:23:44.600 --> 0:23:49.040
<v Speaker 2>guy they have, it is their responsibility to evaluate the

0:23:49.160 --> 0:23:52.880
<v Speaker 2>trade market for the guy they have. If as an

0:23:52.960 --> 0:23:56.600
<v Speaker 2>added bonus, the guy they evaluate is better than the

0:23:56.600 --> 0:24:00.399
<v Speaker 2>guy they have, you could then draft his best and

0:24:00.520 --> 0:24:04.040
<v Speaker 2>teammate and have his dad be the head coach. That's

0:24:04.119 --> 0:24:11.879
<v Speaker 2>something you'd think about. So of course it makes sense

0:24:13.040 --> 0:24:19.040
<v Speaker 2>and it would be This is the last point I'm

0:24:19.040 --> 0:24:22.320
<v Speaker 2>gonna make on this. Pat Fans acting like Drake Maje's

0:24:22.359 --> 0:24:25.560
<v Speaker 2>had the year Jaden Daniels had is insane. Let me

0:24:25.600 --> 0:24:30.359
<v Speaker 2>tell you this, Nobody likes Caleb Williams more than me.

0:24:32.280 --> 0:24:37.760
<v Speaker 2>If the Bears had the number one overall pick, they

0:24:37.800 --> 0:24:42.320
<v Speaker 2>should be doing exactly what I'm saying. The Patriots should

0:24:42.359 --> 0:24:48.399
<v Speaker 2>do evaluate all of their options and determine what the

0:24:48.440 --> 0:24:54.360
<v Speaker 2>best path forward is closing off a door of options

0:24:55.200 --> 0:25:01.000
<v Speaker 2>because you finally have a quarterback that can run around,

0:25:01.560 --> 0:25:07.119
<v Speaker 2>and you add Stockholm syndrome from mac Jones. So any

0:25:07.240 --> 0:25:09.680
<v Speaker 2>quarterback that can throw the ball more than thirty five

0:25:09.760 --> 0:25:12.720
<v Speaker 2>yards in the air, you think is the next John Elway,

0:25:13.040 --> 0:25:17.320
<v Speaker 2>Which is another thing I've heard these Pats fans tell me, Oh,

0:25:17.359 --> 0:25:21.680
<v Speaker 2>he's not Josh Allen, He's John Elway. Okay, maybe maybe

0:25:21.720 --> 0:25:27.719
<v Speaker 2>he is, but it's just I'm just right, and so

0:25:28.040 --> 0:25:31.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't like, do I think the Pats are gonna

0:25:31.000 --> 0:25:31.240
<v Speaker 2>do this?

0:25:31.400 --> 0:25:31.480
<v Speaker 3>No?

0:25:33.640 --> 0:25:37.360
<v Speaker 2>Do I even think they're going to do the full evaluation. No,

0:25:38.119 --> 0:25:39.880
<v Speaker 2>But that's one of the reasons they're not a well

0:25:39.920 --> 0:25:44.880
<v Speaker 2>run team since Brady left and Belichick left. Sorry all right,

0:25:45.000 --> 0:25:48.159
<v Speaker 2>speaking of the opposite of the New England Patriots to

0:25:48.280 --> 0:25:49.240
<v Speaker 2>Kansas City Chiefs.

0:25:50.320 --> 0:25:52.800
<v Speaker 3>Chiefs locked up that one seat over Christmas. We saw that,

0:25:54.040 --> 0:25:56.760
<v Speaker 3>so can see. He's in an interesting situation right now.

0:25:57.160 --> 0:26:00.040
<v Speaker 3>If they lose to Denver, Burrow and the Bengals to

0:26:00.119 --> 0:26:02.480
<v Speaker 3>get bounced out of the playoffs. But if Kansas City

0:26:02.520 --> 0:26:06.720
<v Speaker 3>beats Tenver Cincinnati, if Cincinnati wins the Miami loses, it'd

0:26:06.720 --> 0:26:09.520
<v Speaker 3>be Cincinnati versus Buffalo in round one. So do you

0:26:09.560 --> 0:26:12.280
<v Speaker 3>better for the Chiefs to let Cincinnati, you know, into

0:26:12.280 --> 0:26:13.600
<v Speaker 3>the playoffs or keep him out?

0:26:15.200 --> 0:26:22.200
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so the chief strategy on Sunday, I can guarantee

0:26:22.200 --> 0:26:25.280
<v Speaker 2>you will have nothing to do with the playoff picture.

0:26:26.080 --> 0:26:30.600
<v Speaker 2>It will flatly be getting. Here's my guest for the

0:26:30.680 --> 0:26:36.240
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs on Sunday. I would be shocked if the following

0:26:36.320 --> 0:26:44.680
<v Speaker 2>players play a single snap. Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelcey, Chris Jones,

0:26:45.440 --> 0:26:50.720
<v Speaker 2>DeAndre Hopkins. Those four guys are basically oh Isaiah pacheck

0:26:50.720 --> 0:26:55.520
<v Speaker 2>Ols certainly yeah is out. Andy has banged up ribs,

0:26:55.600 --> 0:27:01.840
<v Speaker 2>It's definitely out. I would be very surprised if Joe Tooney,

0:27:04.040 --> 0:27:10.080
<v Speaker 2>Xavier Worthy, or Trent McDuffie play a snap either, and

0:27:10.160 --> 0:27:14.040
<v Speaker 2>I think most likely Juwan Taylor, the other tackle, won't

0:27:14.040 --> 0:27:17.000
<v Speaker 2>play either. That's nine guys that would be my guess.

0:27:18.359 --> 0:27:22.720
<v Speaker 2>After that, they are going to try to win because

0:27:23.680 --> 0:27:28.760
<v Speaker 2>they win, and while they don't care about getting to

0:27:28.920 --> 0:27:33.439
<v Speaker 2>sixteen and one, I do a little bit. I really

0:27:33.560 --> 0:27:36.080
<v Speaker 2>like the idea that the year the Chiefs three P.

0:27:36.320 --> 0:27:39.200
<v Speaker 2>If they get to sixteen and one, a three P

0:27:39.520 --> 0:27:42.960
<v Speaker 2>would also mean they are the first ever nineteen win

0:27:43.720 --> 0:27:49.520
<v Speaker 2>team in NFL history to obviously never happen before. There's never,

0:27:49.640 --> 0:27:52.679
<v Speaker 2>there's only the only prior to the seventeen game season,

0:27:52.960 --> 0:27:54.600
<v Speaker 2>the only way you could do it was be to

0:27:54.640 --> 0:27:58.520
<v Speaker 2>go undefeated. And the only undefeated team happened during a

0:27:58.560 --> 0:28:02.879
<v Speaker 2>fourteen game season. So I like that idea. Now to

0:28:03.000 --> 0:28:10.280
<v Speaker 2>this nonsense about being scared of the Bengals, all right,

0:28:10.320 --> 0:28:12.800
<v Speaker 2>there's just the data, which is they haven't lost the

0:28:12.800 --> 0:28:15.480
<v Speaker 2>Bengals in two years. They've played them three times since then,

0:28:15.640 --> 0:28:18.080
<v Speaker 2>they're three and zero in those three games. But set

0:28:18.119 --> 0:28:24.920
<v Speaker 2>that aside, and this is where the NFL media drives

0:28:24.960 --> 0:28:32.879
<v Speaker 2>me bleeping crazy. A fair question to ask on Sports

0:28:32.920 --> 0:28:41.400
<v Speaker 2>TV is should the Buffalo Bills be worried that Cincinnati

0:28:41.480 --> 0:28:45.680
<v Speaker 2>will make the playoffs? You know why because the last

0:28:45.760 --> 0:28:50.160
<v Speaker 2>time Cincinnati made the playoffs, they went to Buffalo and

0:28:50.360 --> 0:28:56.560
<v Speaker 2>kicked their ass. The last three times Cincinnati has played Buffalo,

0:28:56.840 --> 0:28:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Cincinnati either beat them. One of the games they were

0:29:00.080 --> 0:29:02.320
<v Speaker 2>beating him, but it was the Tamorrow Hambling game, so

0:29:02.360 --> 0:29:05.240
<v Speaker 2>the game was stopped. But they beat him in the

0:29:05.280 --> 0:29:09.320
<v Speaker 2>playoffs two years ago. Last year, when Cincinnati wasn't very good,

0:29:09.600 --> 0:29:11.640
<v Speaker 2>they beat the Bills in the regular season they didn't

0:29:11.640 --> 0:29:14.760
<v Speaker 2>play this year, and of course that would be the

0:29:14.800 --> 0:29:19.240
<v Speaker 2>matchup if Cincinnati makes the playoffs, they are one hundred

0:29:19.240 --> 0:29:25.520
<v Speaker 2>percent playing Buffalo. But weirdly people have feel like the

0:29:25.560 --> 0:29:31.520
<v Speaker 2>Bills are owed more respect than the Chiefs. So they're

0:29:31.520 --> 0:29:35.400
<v Speaker 2>not asking that question, they're just asking should the Chiefs

0:29:35.440 --> 0:29:40.760
<v Speaker 2>be worried about it? Also, by the way, Demonse, that

0:29:41.000 --> 0:29:47.480
<v Speaker 2>is a odd matchup for Buffalo because Buffalo's back end,

0:29:47.600 --> 0:29:49.800
<v Speaker 2>is it the weakness of its team? You have the

0:29:49.840 --> 0:29:53.760
<v Speaker 2>best pair of receivers in the league. And for Josh

0:29:53.800 --> 0:29:59.239
<v Speaker 2>Allen individually, he would go into that game probably as

0:29:59.320 --> 0:30:00.920
<v Speaker 2>the guy that you know it was about to win

0:30:01.000 --> 0:30:07.680
<v Speaker 2>league MVP. It's round one and here's Josh Allen's playoffs

0:30:07.720 --> 0:30:12.560
<v Speaker 2>the last four years. AFC Championship game lost to Patrick Mahomes,

0:30:12.960 --> 0:30:17.040
<v Speaker 2>Divisional round lost to Patrick Mahomes, Divisional round home lost

0:30:17.040 --> 0:30:20.680
<v Speaker 2>to Joe Burrow, Divisional round home loss to Patrick Mahomes.

0:30:21.240 --> 0:30:26.160
<v Speaker 2>That's twenty twenty one, twenty two, twenty three. If all

0:30:26.200 --> 0:30:30.479
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden, he's staring at weight, I might lose

0:30:31.240 --> 0:30:34.040
<v Speaker 2>to one of these other two guys for the fifth

0:30:34.080 --> 0:30:38.240
<v Speaker 2>straight year, third straight year in my building and in

0:30:38.960 --> 0:30:42.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, kind of de escalating rounds of the playoffs.

0:30:43.040 --> 0:30:48.040
<v Speaker 2>That's a scary spot for Buffalo or not really. Again,

0:30:48.080 --> 0:30:50.640
<v Speaker 2>I think Buffalo is way better than Cincinnati, but just

0:30:50.760 --> 0:30:56.080
<v Speaker 2>from a pressure and nervousness standpoint. But to get back

0:30:56.120 --> 0:31:00.720
<v Speaker 2>to your question, and this is the part of it

0:31:01.320 --> 0:31:09.200
<v Speaker 2>that no one seems willing to acknowledge. The only scenario

0:31:09.240 --> 0:31:15.760
<v Speaker 2>in which the Chiefs play the Bengals would mean the

0:31:15.800 --> 0:31:23.960
<v Speaker 2>Bengals just beat Buffalo, and that is objectively an awesome outcome.

0:31:23.560 --> 0:31:24.640
<v Speaker 3>For the Chiefs.

0:31:25.160 --> 0:31:29.280
<v Speaker 2>Yes, there is one team that has beaten the Chiefs

0:31:29.280 --> 0:31:33.040
<v Speaker 2>this year. It's Buffalo. There's one team that's been the

0:31:33.120 --> 0:31:35.400
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs in the last three hundred and seventy five days.

0:31:36.040 --> 0:31:42.080
<v Speaker 2>It's three hundred and seventy days. It's Buffalo. They so

0:31:42.240 --> 0:31:45.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't think the Chiefs are gonna game it to

0:31:45.080 --> 0:31:48.240
<v Speaker 2>try to help Cincinnati to get in. And by the way,

0:31:48.280 --> 0:31:51.720
<v Speaker 2>the only way to gain that is to beat Denver

0:31:51.800 --> 0:31:54.920
<v Speaker 2>with your backups from your ten point dogs or nine

0:31:54.920 --> 0:31:58.680
<v Speaker 2>and a half point dogs, whatever it is. But it

0:31:58.800 --> 0:32:07.760
<v Speaker 2>is really idiotic media commentary to act like the Bengals

0:32:07.800 --> 0:32:10.960
<v Speaker 2>making the playoffs is bad for the Chiefs because there's

0:32:11.000 --> 0:32:13.880
<v Speaker 2>only two possible outcomes of the Bengals making the playoffs.

0:32:13.920 --> 0:32:17.440
<v Speaker 2>One is they lose in Round one. The other is

0:32:17.840 --> 0:32:22.280
<v Speaker 2>they knock out the second best team in football. I

0:32:22.400 --> 0:32:26.000
<v Speaker 2>personally would happily sign up for either one of those.

0:32:26.800 --> 0:32:30.200
<v Speaker 2>So it's just it's just stupid. What's your following, Prescinnati

0:32:30.280 --> 0:32:30.600
<v Speaker 2>in there?

0:32:31.240 --> 0:32:33.600
<v Speaker 3>The Chiefs are fifteen to one. If I had one

0:32:33.600 --> 0:32:36.600
<v Speaker 3>of the best seasons of all time. Obviously, nobody's calling

0:32:36.680 --> 0:32:38.920
<v Speaker 3>for Andy Reid to be Coach of the Year. Mahomes

0:32:38.920 --> 0:32:40.520
<v Speaker 3>there for MVP. Why is that?

0:32:42.480 --> 0:32:46.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, so that's an interesting thing, Demons where.

0:32:46.520 --> 0:32:47.760
<v Speaker 3>You also aren't doing that?

0:32:47.840 --> 0:32:51.200
<v Speaker 2>By the way, No, well, though, while we don't talk

0:32:51.240 --> 0:32:53.560
<v Speaker 2>coach of the year, I do think Andy should be

0:32:53.600 --> 0:32:58.440
<v Speaker 2>coach of the Year because somebody's here's the thing, the

0:32:58.520 --> 0:33:02.440
<v Speaker 2>media has got to decide. Somebody on the Chiefs is awesome.

0:33:03.400 --> 0:33:06.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't know who it is exactly, but somebody's doing great.

0:33:07.640 --> 0:33:14.280
<v Speaker 2>So it's either Mahomes for the clutch stuff, Chris Jones

0:33:14.520 --> 0:33:17.640
<v Speaker 2>for the number one Devens in football, or Andy Reid,

0:33:17.920 --> 0:33:20.640
<v Speaker 2>who evidently doesn't have great players and they're fifteen and one.

0:33:21.080 --> 0:33:27.360
<v Speaker 2>Somebody deserves some award. But here's my there's not an

0:33:27.400 --> 0:33:29.680
<v Speaker 2>award for it is there even Assistant Coach of the Year.

0:33:29.720 --> 0:33:30.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure.

0:33:30.720 --> 0:33:33.080
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, that's yeah.

0:33:33.120 --> 0:33:34.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't even know if there. I think that award

0:33:34.920 --> 0:33:39.440
<v Speaker 2>does exist. Actually so maybe that. So here's here's my prediction.

0:33:41.640 --> 0:33:46.600
<v Speaker 2>Right before either Conference Championship week or Super Bowl Week,

0:33:46.640 --> 0:33:50.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure, the NFL announces the finalists for all

0:33:50.720 --> 0:33:54.560
<v Speaker 2>the awards, and just like last year, the Chiefs are

0:33:54.600 --> 0:34:00.880
<v Speaker 2>going to be shut out. Nobody invited, not MVP, not

0:34:01.000 --> 0:34:03.960
<v Speaker 2>Offensive Rookie of the Year, not Defensive Rookie of the Year,

0:34:04.240 --> 0:34:06.640
<v Speaker 2>not Defensive Player of the Year, not Coach of the Year.

0:34:06.960 --> 0:34:13.080
<v Speaker 2>There is also demands a decent chance that when the

0:34:13.200 --> 0:34:19.959
<v Speaker 2>NFL announces the three AFC Pro Bowl quarterbacks, Mahomes gets

0:34:20.000 --> 0:34:23.719
<v Speaker 2>left out. There's a real shot that three AFC Pro

0:34:23.760 --> 0:34:27.759
<v Speaker 2>Bowl quarterbacks are Lamar, Josh, and Burrow. And I am

0:34:27.800 --> 0:34:31.560
<v Speaker 2>here to tell you while all of that is wildly

0:34:31.640 --> 0:34:39.800
<v Speaker 2>disrespectful and ludicrous, nothing helps the three peat chances.

0:34:39.840 --> 0:34:40.080
<v Speaker 1>More.

0:34:41.120 --> 0:34:45.719
<v Speaker 2>Of course, then the Chiefs all of a sudden, despite

0:34:45.760 --> 0:34:48.160
<v Speaker 2>being fifteen and one, well I guess at that point

0:34:48.200 --> 0:34:50.319
<v Speaker 2>they'd either be fifteen and two or sixteen to one,

0:34:51.400 --> 0:34:57.360
<v Speaker 2>being able to invent a wait, we got disrespected card

0:34:58.280 --> 0:35:03.839
<v Speaker 2>and so is specially Patrick. So I'm here telling you,

0:35:04.120 --> 0:35:07.799
<v Speaker 2>like Andy Reid not being Yeah, I don't I don't

0:35:07.800 --> 0:35:09.920
<v Speaker 2>want any of it. I don't want any of it.

0:35:10.239 --> 0:35:12.800
<v Speaker 2>You guys can have your fun ceremony while the Chiefs

0:35:12.800 --> 0:35:16.600
<v Speaker 2>are having their you know, their annual Super Bowl practice.

0:35:16.920 --> 0:35:20.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't want any of the awards, all right.

0:35:20.120 --> 0:35:24.200
<v Speaker 3>Next, So the NFC North, the one seed comes down

0:35:24.239 --> 0:35:27.280
<v Speaker 3>to the Sunday night showdown between the Vikings and the Lions.

0:35:27.920 --> 0:35:31.400
<v Speaker 3>Vikings have answered a lot of questions with Sam Darnold. Obviously,

0:35:31.440 --> 0:35:33.840
<v Speaker 3>the Lions are stacked up with with all those injuries,

0:35:33.880 --> 0:35:36.480
<v Speaker 3>but yeat, everybody still loves the Lions. What do the

0:35:36.520 --> 0:35:38.320
<v Speaker 3>Vikings have to do to be favorites.

0:35:39.880 --> 0:35:45.239
<v Speaker 2>That win that game? The Vikings win that game? Uh,

0:35:45.280 --> 0:35:48.960
<v Speaker 2>you know what? I actually I take that back. Let

0:35:49.000 --> 0:35:51.120
<v Speaker 2>me look at the odds. Right now, I think that

0:35:51.200 --> 0:35:54.640
<v Speaker 2>the Vikings win that game, the Eagles become the NFC favorites.

0:35:55.400 --> 0:35:57.680
<v Speaker 2>So I don't think there's anything they can do because

0:35:57.760 --> 0:36:02.640
<v Speaker 2>right right now, no, never mind, they would become inc

0:36:02.719 --> 0:36:07.280
<v Speaker 2>because it's close enough already. Right now, Detroit is plus

0:36:07.280 --> 0:36:11.560
<v Speaker 2>two hundred for the NFC, Philly's plus three thirty, and

0:36:11.600 --> 0:36:15.400
<v Speaker 2>the Vikings are plus three fifty, so if the Vikings

0:36:15.440 --> 0:36:18.880
<v Speaker 2>beat the Lions in Week eighteen, they will become the

0:36:19.040 --> 0:36:23.040
<v Speaker 2>NFC favorites. By the way, the Rams, oh, let me

0:36:23.120 --> 0:36:25.319
<v Speaker 2>see what they're offering me on that. I haven't even

0:36:25.360 --> 0:36:29.400
<v Speaker 2>thought about it. The Rams ten to one. Now, the

0:36:29.480 --> 0:36:31.920
<v Speaker 2>Rams haven't looked great lately, but they're about to have

0:36:32.000 --> 0:36:34.399
<v Speaker 2>a home playoff game, either the three or the four

0:36:34.520 --> 0:36:39.239
<v Speaker 2>seed ten to one again to win the conference. What

0:36:39.360 --> 0:36:43.600
<v Speaker 2>are they to win the super Bowl? Twenty five to one? Okay,

0:36:43.600 --> 0:36:46.840
<v Speaker 2>hold on, and I obviously would never cash out a

0:36:46.920 --> 0:36:49.600
<v Speaker 2>bet in my life, but I am curious if they've

0:36:49.840 --> 0:36:54.080
<v Speaker 2>cried uncle yet. The so thirty Rams are thirty five

0:36:54.120 --> 0:36:56.400
<v Speaker 2>to one on DraftKings, twenty five to one in some

0:36:56.440 --> 0:37:01.680
<v Speaker 2>other spots. But I'm looking the so my bets click here? Okay,

0:37:02.160 --> 0:37:04.880
<v Speaker 2>right now they're offering me double my bet back. But

0:37:05.000 --> 0:37:07.520
<v Speaker 2>I will never cash out ever, so I wouldn't do

0:37:07.560 --> 0:37:10.720
<v Speaker 2>it because I have the Rams to win the super

0:37:10.719 --> 0:37:14.800
<v Speaker 2>Bowl at seventy five to one. Now again, I obviously

0:37:14.840 --> 0:37:16.960
<v Speaker 2>think the Chiefs are gonna win the Super Bowl, but

0:37:17.719 --> 0:37:22.000
<v Speaker 2>I ainng a Rams Chief Super Bowl is more likely

0:37:22.120 --> 0:37:25.760
<v Speaker 2>than the Vegas odds makers think it is right now,

0:37:26.200 --> 0:37:29.080
<v Speaker 2>and that was just a high you know, as Danny

0:37:29.120 --> 0:37:31.200
<v Speaker 2>Parkins would say, probably gonna go down as a good

0:37:31.280 --> 0:37:34.680
<v Speaker 2>value loser. But that's what what Minnesota has to do

0:37:34.880 --> 0:37:39.440
<v Speaker 2>is win that game against Detroit, get the one seed,

0:37:40.200 --> 0:37:43.640
<v Speaker 2>and then they'll be the favorites. All right, let's move

0:37:43.680 --> 0:37:44.960
<v Speaker 2>on to Eagles in Saquon.

0:37:45.840 --> 0:37:48.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so the Eagles still got it done without Hurts.

0:37:48.640 --> 0:37:51.839
<v Speaker 3>Saquon is now over two thousand yards. They're locked into

0:37:51.840 --> 0:37:53.839
<v Speaker 3>the two seed, by the way, but Saquon is over

0:37:53.880 --> 0:37:56.600
<v Speaker 3>two thousand yards and one hundred and one shy away

0:37:56.600 --> 0:37:59.399
<v Speaker 3>from breaking the record. But it's there's a meaningless game

0:37:59.440 --> 0:38:01.520
<v Speaker 3>this week. I've do you think that they should let

0:38:01.520 --> 0:38:02.520
<v Speaker 3>Saquon go for it?

0:38:06.680 --> 0:38:09.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't, but it's not for the reasons I think

0:38:09.960 --> 0:38:13.160
<v Speaker 2>most people are arguing. First of all, I I see

0:38:13.160 --> 0:38:18.120
<v Speaker 2>that Saquon's minus two thirty to break the record. My

0:38:18.800 --> 0:38:21.319
<v Speaker 2>so that means Vegas thinks he's gonna break it or

0:38:21.400 --> 0:38:26.480
<v Speaker 2>does it. My guess is the places that are offering

0:38:26.520 --> 0:38:32.520
<v Speaker 2>that bet that is a must play bet, meaning he's

0:38:32.560 --> 0:38:36.799
<v Speaker 2>minus two thirty to break it if he plays, but

0:38:36.920 --> 0:38:41.200
<v Speaker 2>if he doesn't play, they just refund the wager. So

0:38:41.280 --> 0:38:44.520
<v Speaker 2>that's I'm not certain on that, but that's what I'm guessing.

0:38:44.920 --> 0:38:49.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that it would be smart for any

0:38:49.080 --> 0:38:52.200
<v Speaker 2>of these books to act like, you know what I mean,

0:38:52.239 --> 0:38:55.719
<v Speaker 2>it's a guarantee that he's playing. So let's say I'm

0:38:55.880 --> 0:38:58.520
<v Speaker 2>right that that is how that wager is set up.

0:38:59.200 --> 0:39:02.759
<v Speaker 2>Minus two already implies he is, you know, around a

0:39:02.800 --> 0:39:07.800
<v Speaker 2>seventy percent chance of breaking the record. And that's why

0:39:08.840 --> 0:39:12.320
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't. There's really there's three reasons why I wouldn't

0:39:12.360 --> 0:39:15.480
<v Speaker 2>let him try. The one is the obvious one, he

0:39:15.480 --> 0:39:17.960
<v Speaker 2>could get hurt. Set that aside, let's say you just

0:39:18.000 --> 0:39:20.759
<v Speaker 2>know he's not gonna get hurt. The other one is

0:39:20.800 --> 0:39:24.239
<v Speaker 2>the less obvious one, which is this guy's at three

0:39:24.320 --> 0:39:28.080
<v Speaker 2>hundred and forty five carries carries not touch his carries.

0:39:28.880 --> 0:39:32.240
<v Speaker 2>Only Derrick Henry has had more carries in a season

0:39:32.880 --> 0:39:37.120
<v Speaker 2>in the last decade than three forty five. Saquan has

0:39:37.160 --> 0:39:40.120
<v Speaker 2>never had more than two hundred and ninety five. And

0:39:40.400 --> 0:39:43.359
<v Speaker 2>now we're about to ask him go. They hope go

0:39:43.440 --> 0:39:47.640
<v Speaker 2>play four playoff games, So just the freshness level of it,

0:39:47.680 --> 0:39:49.680
<v Speaker 2>they're not gonna have a bye. You give him a buye.

0:39:50.080 --> 0:39:52.719
<v Speaker 2>That's the second reason. Some people have brought that up.

0:39:53.040 --> 0:39:56.239
<v Speaker 2>The third reason that no one has brought up, but

0:39:56.360 --> 0:40:00.440
<v Speaker 2>I think is super relevant is this everyone is looking

0:40:00.440 --> 0:40:05.120
<v Speaker 2>at this as a binary thing. Rest and don't get

0:40:05.120 --> 0:40:09.600
<v Speaker 2>the record. Play don't be as rested, but go get

0:40:09.600 --> 0:40:13.480
<v Speaker 2>the record. There is a third option, which is the

0:40:13.520 --> 0:40:17.680
<v Speaker 2>only thing I think demands that could really hurt the

0:40:17.719 --> 0:40:23.759
<v Speaker 2>morale of the team. Play go for the record and

0:40:23.880 --> 0:40:27.120
<v Speaker 2>not get it. One hundred and one yards is still

0:40:27.160 --> 0:40:30.239
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and one yards. I know you're playing the Giants,

0:40:31.560 --> 0:40:34.400
<v Speaker 2>but the Giants game plan for that might literally be

0:40:35.120 --> 0:40:39.919
<v Speaker 2>don't care get that record. Fifty to nothing, Yes, for real,

0:40:40.520 --> 0:40:45.440
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna play no forget single high safety, zero high safety,

0:40:45.880 --> 0:40:49.040
<v Speaker 2>one on one on the outside, nine guys in the box,

0:40:49.760 --> 0:40:54.600
<v Speaker 2>anything but the record. And there have been five games

0:40:54.640 --> 0:40:57.880
<v Speaker 2>this year Saquon didn't get one hundred yards. One hundred

0:40:57.960 --> 0:41:01.560
<v Speaker 2>yards is still one hundred yards. If he were forty

0:41:01.640 --> 0:41:05.560
<v Speaker 2>yards away, you could basically guarantee it a hunt. So

0:41:06.440 --> 0:41:12.160
<v Speaker 2>that would be it is not a disaster for him

0:41:12.200 --> 0:41:14.920
<v Speaker 2>to run, go play, break the record and just be

0:41:15.160 --> 0:41:20.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, a little more less fresh for the playoffs.

0:41:21.280 --> 0:41:24.480
<v Speaker 2>It's not a disaster to have him rest and just

0:41:24.520 --> 0:41:27.040
<v Speaker 2>feel like, ah, I didn't quite get the record. There

0:41:27.040 --> 0:41:31.719
<v Speaker 2>are only two disaster scenarios for Philly. One is he

0:41:31.760 --> 0:41:34.600
<v Speaker 2>gets hurt. The other is he goes for it and

0:41:34.600 --> 0:41:38.840
<v Speaker 2>they don't get it and that kind of invincibility gets pierced.

0:41:39.360 --> 0:41:42.640
<v Speaker 2>So I would not have him do it. All right,

0:41:42.719 --> 0:41:43.200
<v Speaker 2>go ahead?

0:41:44.760 --> 0:41:47.480
<v Speaker 3>Yes, do you think the Jamar jay should be in

0:41:47.480 --> 0:41:49.360
<v Speaker 3>the running. He's going for the triple crown? Should he

0:41:49.400 --> 0:41:50.200
<v Speaker 3>get any love for that?

0:41:50.360 --> 0:41:51.600
<v Speaker 2>For Offensive Player of the Year?

0:41:52.239 --> 0:41:54.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So.

0:41:56.400 --> 0:41:58.239
<v Speaker 2>I think Offensive Player of the Year this year is

0:41:58.239 --> 0:42:00.879
<v Speaker 2>gonna be really tough because I think Joe Burrow might

0:42:00.920 --> 0:42:04.879
<v Speaker 2>get it. So typically the way it has worked is

0:42:05.239 --> 0:42:08.160
<v Speaker 2>we've looked at Offensive Player of the Year as the

0:42:08.200 --> 0:42:11.359
<v Speaker 2>best non quarterback, but that's not in the rules. So

0:42:11.440 --> 0:42:15.080
<v Speaker 2>I think some people might say, I'm not voting Burrow

0:42:15.280 --> 0:42:19.359
<v Speaker 2>MVP because the team wasn't good enough, but I will

0:42:19.440 --> 0:42:23.440
<v Speaker 2>vote him Offensive Player of the Year. Look, but Jamar

0:42:23.920 --> 0:42:29.160
<v Speaker 2>Jace triple crown is a great option. Saquon obviously, two

0:42:29.239 --> 0:42:31.560
<v Speaker 2>thousand yards is a great option. All right, let's do Jaden.

0:42:32.719 --> 0:42:35.200
<v Speaker 3>So last year c J. Stroud took that Texans team

0:42:35.239 --> 0:42:38.040
<v Speaker 3>to the playoffs. They had no expectations and everybody was

0:42:38.040 --> 0:42:41.239
<v Speaker 3>saying c J Strouds should get MVP. Jayden Dale was

0:42:41.239 --> 0:42:43.600
<v Speaker 3>doing very similar things this year, and we do not

0:42:43.719 --> 0:42:47.480
<v Speaker 3>hear those same types of talks. Why is that so?

0:42:47.880 --> 0:42:52.479
<v Speaker 2>It's flatly because last year there wasn't a as many

0:42:53.160 --> 0:42:56.479
<v Speaker 2>good or great candidates for MVP as there were this year.

0:42:56.920 --> 0:43:00.799
<v Speaker 2>That's all Like, if Jaden was having this season last year,

0:43:01.160 --> 0:43:03.359
<v Speaker 2>he'd be right in the mix. I think people look

0:43:03.400 --> 0:43:05.960
<v Speaker 2>at Jayden's year this year as fondly as they look

0:43:06.000 --> 0:43:09.320
<v Speaker 2>at CJS. But last year was a weird MVP year

0:43:09.760 --> 0:43:13.000
<v Speaker 2>where Dak was a candidate then had a brutal game.

0:43:13.040 --> 0:43:15.280
<v Speaker 2>At the end of the year, Purty was the favorite,

0:43:15.320 --> 0:43:18.000
<v Speaker 2>then it threw the four picks against the Ravens, and

0:43:18.040 --> 0:43:23.120
<v Speaker 2>then Lamar kind of won it by default, and so

0:43:23.640 --> 0:43:26.080
<v Speaker 2>like it was like, hey, the team's really good. Because

0:43:26.160 --> 0:43:30.719
<v Speaker 2>his numbers last year, de Monse were not spectacular in

0:43:30.760 --> 0:43:35.280
<v Speaker 2>any direction, which is why a lot of the Ravens

0:43:35.360 --> 0:43:39.480
<v Speaker 2>fans this year that are trying to nag Josh Allen's

0:43:39.600 --> 0:43:43.719
<v Speaker 2>MVP case. The problem is Josh Allen's MVP case this

0:43:43.800 --> 0:43:49.160
<v Speaker 2>year is Lamar's MVP case last year, and Lamar didn't

0:43:49.200 --> 0:43:53.400
<v Speaker 2>have the statistical profile for the MVP last year, but

0:43:53.440 --> 0:43:55.400
<v Speaker 2>his team had the best record and he was awesome

0:43:57.280 --> 0:44:00.640
<v Speaker 2>for the Josh Allen doesn't have the statistics go profile

0:44:00.719 --> 0:44:02.759
<v Speaker 2>for the MVP this year, but it seem as the

0:44:02.840 --> 0:44:07.200
<v Speaker 2>second best record in the conference. They beat the Chiefs

0:44:07.200 --> 0:44:12.320
<v Speaker 2>and Lions are twenty nine and three in the season,

0:44:12.640 --> 0:44:15.400
<v Speaker 2>but they're twenty nine and one against the whole NFL

0:44:15.440 --> 0:44:18.000
<v Speaker 2>and zero to two against the Bills, So that helps

0:44:18.080 --> 0:44:22.960
<v Speaker 2>Josh and so, and they're kind of overachieving or whatever.

0:44:23.400 --> 0:44:27.880
<v Speaker 2>So the there are. But Josh is a great candidate.

0:44:28.120 --> 0:44:31.840
<v Speaker 2>Lamar is a great candidate. Sam Darnold is a great

0:44:31.880 --> 0:44:35.600
<v Speaker 2>candidate that no one will accept. Golf's a good candidate,

0:44:36.120 --> 0:44:39.160
<v Speaker 2>and Joe Burrow's a decent candidate. Those are all. They're

0:44:39.160 --> 0:44:43.120
<v Speaker 2>all having better seasons than anybody last year. So that's

0:44:43.160 --> 0:44:46.879
<v Speaker 2>why Jaden's not in the mix in my opinion. All Right,

0:44:47.200 --> 0:44:49.640
<v Speaker 2>that was a nice forty five minute a block, take

0:44:49.680 --> 0:44:53.040
<v Speaker 2>a quick break. Come back, We'll do our New Year's

0:44:53.080 --> 0:45:01.680
<v Speaker 2>resolutions before we get out of here. What's right? Welcome

0:45:01.719 --> 0:45:02.440
<v Speaker 2>back in What's right?

0:45:02.480 --> 0:45:02.759
<v Speaker 3>With Nick?

0:45:02.800 --> 0:45:06.520
<v Speaker 2>Great? It is New Year's Eve. We will be on Thursday. Uh,

0:45:07.239 --> 0:45:09.239
<v Speaker 2>we took last week off. We're not gonna take this

0:45:09.280 --> 0:45:12.920
<v Speaker 2>week off, but since New Year's Eve, we'll do some

0:45:13.200 --> 0:45:17.440
<v Speaker 2>I guess rights resolutions. So this is one of these things.

0:45:17.640 --> 0:45:21.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's a great photoshop. I love that. Uh. I

0:45:21.400 --> 0:45:24.319
<v Speaker 2>don't quite remember us doing last year, but I'm sure

0:45:24.360 --> 0:45:28.560
<v Speaker 2>we did them. So Demont's take us through this year's Yes.

0:45:28.640 --> 0:45:31.279
<v Speaker 3>So the NBA has had declining ratings this year and

0:45:31.320 --> 0:45:33.680
<v Speaker 3>people were killing the current state of the game. There's

0:45:33.719 --> 0:45:36.200
<v Speaker 3>nothing like a lofty New Year's resolution to turn it

0:45:36.239 --> 0:45:40.399
<v Speaker 3>all around fix all those problems. The NBA's twenty twenty

0:45:40.440 --> 0:45:41.799
<v Speaker 3>five resolution should.

0:45:41.600 --> 0:45:46.759
<v Speaker 2>Be for honestly, got it.

0:45:47.800 --> 0:45:52.120
<v Speaker 3>Oh, let him fight, let him fight. Go on, docky.

0:45:52.400 --> 0:45:55.120
<v Speaker 3>They do it in baseball. Tired of the tough guy.

0:45:55.200 --> 0:45:57.640
<v Speaker 3>You guys just run up to each other. It's like, oh,

0:45:57.680 --> 0:45:59.480
<v Speaker 3>we're gonna fight. We're gonna fight. The refs go and

0:45:59.520 --> 0:46:02.240
<v Speaker 3>break it up. Swing a guy to the ground, actually

0:46:02.320 --> 0:46:04.520
<v Speaker 3>hit somebody. You know, don't kill anybody. You don't fight

0:46:04.560 --> 0:46:08.640
<v Speaker 3>any of the fans. But yeah, I mean my guys

0:46:08.719 --> 0:46:09.960
<v Speaker 3>pointed each other in the face every.

0:46:09.800 --> 0:46:12.479
<v Speaker 2>Once in a while. Wow, I didn't I didn't see

0:46:12.480 --> 0:46:16.200
<v Speaker 2>that take coming. That would be uh, at least short

0:46:16.320 --> 0:46:20.080
<v Speaker 2>term fix. I will tell you this, Madam Silver is like,

0:46:20.080 --> 0:46:24.759
<v Speaker 2>you know what fighting's allowed now, people would tune in more. Uh.

0:46:24.800 --> 0:46:29.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't hate it. I don't hate the idea. I'm

0:46:29.880 --> 0:46:36.480
<v Speaker 2>curious how many uh international players Draymond would fight before

0:46:36.520 --> 0:46:40.760
<v Speaker 2>he fought an actual American player. It's a long list.

0:46:41.320 --> 0:46:47.359
<v Speaker 2>But uh so that's an interesting uh my. My response

0:46:47.760 --> 0:46:52.520
<v Speaker 2>to that is a little more I guess serious, But

0:46:52.680 --> 0:46:57.720
<v Speaker 2>demonsic is probably better. Need the next crop of superstars

0:46:57.760 --> 0:47:00.359
<v Speaker 2>to take it as seriously as the previous crow it.

0:47:01.960 --> 0:47:08.200
<v Speaker 2>That'll help, like to take it really seriously regular season

0:47:08.320 --> 0:47:12.439
<v Speaker 2>round and I think that would help a lot. We've

0:47:12.480 --> 0:47:14.440
<v Speaker 2>spent a lot of time talking about the three pointer

0:47:15.040 --> 0:47:17.400
<v Speaker 2>and load management and I don't want to do that

0:47:17.520 --> 0:47:19.680
<v Speaker 2>right now. But I also just think a level of

0:47:19.760 --> 0:47:24.719
<v Speaker 2>maturity from this next this group of guys that you

0:47:24.719 --> 0:47:27.520
<v Speaker 2>know you have. You still have a Lebron, you still

0:47:27.520 --> 0:47:30.680
<v Speaker 2>have Steph, you still have Durant that have given you

0:47:30.719 --> 0:47:34.640
<v Speaker 2>the blueprint for how to be a pro in this

0:47:34.760 --> 0:47:38.719
<v Speaker 2>league and last for a decade and a half to

0:47:38.840 --> 0:47:43.320
<v Speaker 2>two decades, and you can follow it or you can't.

0:47:43.600 --> 0:47:47.560
<v Speaker 3>Next a few weeks back, you attack the NFL playoff

0:47:47.560 --> 0:47:51.160
<v Speaker 3>format for ruining late season intrigue. Assuming there's no chance

0:47:51.200 --> 0:47:53.879
<v Speaker 3>the NFL gives up the extra game, what's the next

0:47:54.600 --> 0:47:57.400
<v Speaker 3>the next big thing the NFL's twenty twenty five resolution

0:47:57.480 --> 0:47:57.840
<v Speaker 3>should be.

0:47:59.160 --> 0:48:03.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I don't think they've listen. I don't. I don't

0:48:03.200 --> 0:48:07.200
<v Speaker 2>like the seven teams in the playoffs. I think it's

0:48:07.400 --> 0:48:10.440
<v Speaker 2>unnecessary and I think it would be way more exciting

0:48:11.160 --> 0:48:16.399
<v Speaker 2>if I'd rather have a good team left out than

0:48:16.440 --> 0:48:19.319
<v Speaker 2>a bad team in. And I know that. I just

0:48:19.360 --> 0:48:22.440
<v Speaker 2>think it makes the regular season feel more meaningful. I

0:48:22.480 --> 0:48:26.600
<v Speaker 2>think it'd be really interesting if as good as Green

0:48:26.680 --> 0:48:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Bay and Washington have been this year, if neither one

0:48:30.040 --> 0:48:32.479
<v Speaker 2>of them knew, like if both of them are like, man,

0:48:32.520 --> 0:48:35.719
<v Speaker 2>we might miss the playoffs. I think it'd be interesting

0:48:36.000 --> 0:48:42.880
<v Speaker 2>if I guess in the AFC now it would it's set.

0:48:43.000 --> 0:48:45.120
<v Speaker 2>But I think that would have meant that Denver blew

0:48:45.160 --> 0:48:47.799
<v Speaker 2>their playoffs spot this past week, like that stuff. So

0:48:48.400 --> 0:48:50.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying it's set if they were only six teams.

0:48:51.160 --> 0:48:53.879
<v Speaker 2>But the NFL probably doesn't need to change much. Man,

0:48:54.040 --> 0:48:58.280
<v Speaker 2>they're kind of rolling. I mean, it's it's working for them. Next.

0:48:59.360 --> 0:49:02.279
<v Speaker 3>The Dallas Boys underwhelm this year, yet it seems like

0:49:02.320 --> 0:49:03.920
<v Speaker 3>there's a real chance that they run it back with

0:49:04.000 --> 0:49:06.719
<v Speaker 3>Mike McCarthy if they ever want to get back to

0:49:06.800 --> 0:49:09.640
<v Speaker 3>the Super Bowl. The Cowboys twenty twenty five resolution should be.

0:49:11.320 --> 0:49:16.080
<v Speaker 2>Well. In the long term, it's to not have Jerry

0:49:16.160 --> 0:49:21.040
<v Speaker 2>running everything, but that's not gonna happen. Short terms, it's

0:49:21.640 --> 0:49:24.560
<v Speaker 2>bite the bullet fire McCarthy, hire Mike Vrabel and try

0:49:24.600 --> 0:49:27.799
<v Speaker 2>to install a culture. I mean, that's his obvious because

0:49:27.840 --> 0:49:29.279
<v Speaker 2>you're not gonna be able to change the quarterback. You're

0:49:29.320 --> 0:49:32.080
<v Speaker 2>not changing the GM. You know, Mike is gonna be

0:49:32.120 --> 0:49:34.560
<v Speaker 2>their CD is gonna be there. Those are excellent players.

0:49:36.280 --> 0:49:39.000
<v Speaker 2>You need a guy, an established head coach, and I

0:49:39.200 --> 0:49:46.040
<v Speaker 2>just don't I think people have maybe forgotten what Mike

0:49:46.120 --> 0:49:49.680
<v Speaker 2>Vrabel did with a team with a way worse quarterback

0:49:49.760 --> 0:49:53.480
<v Speaker 2>than Dak Prescott. His first year in Tennessee, they won

0:49:53.600 --> 0:49:57.239
<v Speaker 2>nine games. His second year in Tennessee, they won nine

0:49:57.320 --> 0:50:04.000
<v Speaker 2>games and made the af Championship Game. His third year

0:50:04.040 --> 0:50:09.440
<v Speaker 2>in Tennessee, they won eleven games. His fourth year in Tennessee,

0:50:10.080 --> 0:50:14.640
<v Speaker 2>they won twelve games and were the number one seed

0:50:14.840 --> 0:50:20.800
<v Speaker 2>in the conference. Then they traded aj Brown won seven

0:50:20.840 --> 0:50:23.520
<v Speaker 2>games the next year, six games last year, and they

0:50:23.600 --> 0:50:27.840
<v Speaker 2>fired him. That guy's an excellent coach, and that's what

0:50:27.880 --> 0:50:28.800
<v Speaker 2>I would do next.

0:50:29.800 --> 0:50:33.080
<v Speaker 3>The Jets also underwhelm, but that was expected. The teams

0:50:33.080 --> 0:50:36.439
<v Speaker 3>of dumpster Fire and Rodgers has washed to finally turn

0:50:36.520 --> 0:50:39.320
<v Speaker 3>things around. The Jets twenty twenty five resolution should.

0:50:39.120 --> 0:50:43.240
<v Speaker 2>Be, I mean, obviously, get out of the Aaron Rodgers

0:50:43.239 --> 0:50:48.120
<v Speaker 2>business is far away from Aaron Rodgers possible go ahead.

0:50:48.360 --> 0:50:50.040
<v Speaker 3>How likely do you think it is that they run

0:50:50.040 --> 0:50:51.319
<v Speaker 3>it back with him as of now?

0:50:52.719 --> 0:50:58.799
<v Speaker 2>Very unlikely. Coach Manginie has been pretty plugged in on

0:50:58.880 --> 0:51:02.080
<v Speaker 2>this stuff, and he said when Rogers started poking fun

0:51:02.120 --> 0:51:06.440
<v Speaker 2>at the owner's teenage son Brick, that that was Rogers

0:51:06.560 --> 0:51:10.279
<v Speaker 2>basically because the heat Rogers went on there was a

0:51:10.320 --> 0:51:15.280
<v Speaker 2>report that the Woody Johnson's kids are like deeply involved,

0:51:16.000 --> 0:51:20.440
<v Speaker 2>and Rogers then went on McAfee and said, yeah, you know,

0:51:20.560 --> 0:51:23.279
<v Speaker 2>I've never been cut by a teenager before, so that

0:51:23.320 --> 0:51:26.520
<v Speaker 2>would be a first, like poking fun at that, and

0:51:26.600 --> 0:51:28.759
<v Speaker 2>Mangini said that to him trying to shoot his way

0:51:28.800 --> 0:51:33.200
<v Speaker 2>out of town. But Wild's had a rare great tweet

0:51:33.280 --> 0:51:36.080
<v Speaker 2>during the Jets game this weekend on that third and

0:51:36.160 --> 0:51:38.760
<v Speaker 2>one play when Rogers could have run for a first,

0:51:39.200 --> 0:51:42.120
<v Speaker 2>could have then had a wide open throw to the

0:51:42.160 --> 0:51:46.359
<v Speaker 2>tight end and it didn't run, made the pass, threw

0:51:46.400 --> 0:51:48.680
<v Speaker 2>it five yards short and then yelled at the tight

0:51:48.800 --> 0:51:52.640
<v Speaker 2>end and he was like, this is perfect Darreon Rodgers

0:51:52.719 --> 0:51:55.719
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty four. Not mobile enough to run for it,

0:51:55.880 --> 0:51:58.520
<v Speaker 2>not accurate enough to throw for it, not humble enough

0:51:58.560 --> 0:52:01.880
<v Speaker 2>to admit that was my mistake, not yours. So I

0:52:01.920 --> 0:52:04.160
<v Speaker 2>would just get out of the Aaron Rodgers business and

0:52:04.360 --> 0:52:07.680
<v Speaker 2>let me say something here that we won't clip and post.

0:52:08.040 --> 0:52:11.560
<v Speaker 2>But if somebody, if we've one of the aggregators or

0:52:13.400 --> 0:52:15.880
<v Speaker 2>blogs or whatever has happens to be watching live and

0:52:15.920 --> 0:52:20.800
<v Speaker 2>clips it all on it, but we won't publicize it. Uh.

0:52:20.920 --> 0:52:28.800
<v Speaker 2>There is a rich irony to Pat McAfee correctly calling

0:52:28.840 --> 0:52:34.200
<v Speaker 2>out the Indianapolis Colts for toxic culture and no leadership

0:52:34.239 --> 0:52:39.759
<v Speaker 2>within the franchise while guffawing and hosting Aaron Rodgers every Tuesday.

0:52:40.680 --> 0:52:43.080
<v Speaker 2>He was like, this is what's wrong with the Colts.

0:52:43.560 --> 0:52:46.120
<v Speaker 2>This what let me tell you, the Colts will never

0:52:46.239 --> 0:52:49.440
<v Speaker 2>win like this, this is what's wrong. Just goes scorched

0:52:49.480 --> 0:52:54.480
<v Speaker 2>earth on them, and then every Tuesday has Aaron on

0:52:55.040 --> 0:53:00.319
<v Speaker 2>as Aaron has lit the Jets franchise on fire from

0:53:00.360 --> 0:53:04.920
<v Speaker 2>the inside out and has no problem with it. Like that.

0:53:05.080 --> 0:53:06.680
<v Speaker 2>Irony is not lost on me.

0:53:07.200 --> 0:53:10.440
<v Speaker 3>Pat McAfee's the friend that keeps the friend around just

0:53:10.480 --> 0:53:13.959
<v Speaker 3>because he's embarrassed, embarrasses himself and makes himself look better.

0:53:15.600 --> 0:53:19.839
<v Speaker 2>So I don't think that's I mean, I so I don't.

0:53:19.960 --> 0:53:22.080
<v Speaker 3>Every time Aaron Rodgers goes up there, it's bad.

0:53:24.080 --> 0:53:26.880
<v Speaker 2>It's like, and you think he looks better in comparison.

0:53:27.480 --> 0:53:30.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think I think it's just for everybody's amusement.

0:53:30.640 --> 0:53:32.279
<v Speaker 3>But that's me.

0:53:32.560 --> 0:53:35.440
<v Speaker 2>Maybe, I mean, listen, maybe he's playing forty chess that

0:53:35.520 --> 0:53:38.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm not seeing. I think there's a much simpler explanation.

0:53:39.960 --> 0:53:41.920
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's go to the next one.

0:53:42.760 --> 0:53:44.680
<v Speaker 3>This year, we both took a big step forward on

0:53:44.719 --> 0:53:47.600
<v Speaker 3>the Gambling Show with your picks and my teasers. Uh,

0:53:47.600 --> 0:53:50.760
<v Speaker 3>but there's always room for growth. Obviously. Our twenty twenty

0:53:50.760 --> 0:53:52.319
<v Speaker 3>five gambling resolution should be.

0:53:53.880 --> 0:53:57.359
<v Speaker 2>I mean, keep it going the I'm trying to see

0:53:57.400 --> 0:54:01.359
<v Speaker 2>what was this my seventh straight no? Because I went

0:54:01.400 --> 0:54:03.319
<v Speaker 2>three and two again this week. So this is my

0:54:03.520 --> 0:54:10.000
<v Speaker 2>sixth straight winning week and my eighth of my last

0:54:10.120 --> 0:54:14.080
<v Speaker 2>nine weeks have been winning weeks on the year, now

0:54:15.040 --> 0:54:19.760
<v Speaker 2>forty seven thirty seven and one and over the last

0:54:19.800 --> 0:54:22.920
<v Speaker 2>six weeks. Let me do this math real quick, over

0:54:22.960 --> 0:54:28.680
<v Speaker 2>the last six weeks, four, eight, twelve, and then twenty

0:54:28.800 --> 0:54:34.000
<v Speaker 2>one and fourteen. No, that's wrong. Give myself more credit.

0:54:34.400 --> 0:54:37.959
<v Speaker 2>Twenty one and nine over the last six weeks, which

0:54:38.000 --> 0:54:42.880
<v Speaker 2>is awesome. And so yeah, I mean, I think, in

0:54:42.960 --> 0:54:48.640
<v Speaker 2>all seriousness, I think that early in the year I

0:54:48.840 --> 0:54:57.120
<v Speaker 2>probably should just favor dogs way more, because what hurts

0:54:57.160 --> 0:54:59.080
<v Speaker 2>me is I don't really have a feel early in

0:54:59.120 --> 0:55:01.040
<v Speaker 2>the year kind of be hard and I get a

0:55:01.080 --> 0:55:03.759
<v Speaker 2>little too. I don't want to say fancy, but I

0:55:03.920 --> 0:55:06.680
<v Speaker 2>may be ambitious with the picks. And you know that

0:55:06.760 --> 0:55:10.040
<v Speaker 2>early in season on underdogs historically are the right play.

0:55:10.520 --> 0:55:13.279
<v Speaker 2>So that's probably the first few weeks while I get

0:55:13.320 --> 0:55:16.920
<v Speaker 2>my footing, you know, things that are just historical plays,

0:55:17.000 --> 0:55:21.520
<v Speaker 2>like you know, divisional underdogs, things like that. And then

0:55:22.200 --> 0:55:25.440
<v Speaker 2>once I, as Danny would say, see the NFL really

0:55:25.520 --> 0:55:31.959
<v Speaker 2>clearly as I have been lately, that is that's where

0:55:32.719 --> 0:55:34.960
<v Speaker 2>that's where I think I can make my money. All right,

0:55:35.400 --> 0:55:36.680
<v Speaker 2>last one, demanse.

0:55:37.320 --> 0:55:40.400
<v Speaker 3>Every year sports media does stuff that makes you angry.

0:55:40.760 --> 0:55:43.799
<v Speaker 3>Let's fix that. Let's fix that. Sports Media's twenty twenty

0:55:43.800 --> 0:55:45.040
<v Speaker 3>five resolutions should be.

0:55:46.520 --> 0:55:49.239
<v Speaker 2>Well listen, you know what, I just did something that

0:55:49.320 --> 0:55:54.240
<v Speaker 2>I said I don't do, which is I don't really

0:55:54.320 --> 0:56:00.160
<v Speaker 2>get in the you know, inner media beef stuff, even

0:56:00.200 --> 0:56:03.240
<v Speaker 2>though it was very clear that that's like a successful

0:56:03.360 --> 0:56:08.680
<v Speaker 2>lane for podcasts and YouTube shows people like that. I

0:56:08.719 --> 0:56:13.719
<v Speaker 2>gotta tell you that little mcfeeeron Rodgers segment, I gave

0:56:13.760 --> 0:56:16.480
<v Speaker 2>me a little little jolt. I kind of enjoyed it.

0:56:16.840 --> 0:56:19.919
<v Speaker 2>So maybe my resolution is gonna be I'm gonna I'm

0:56:19.920 --> 0:56:23.840
<v Speaker 2>gonna go uh do the opposite of the Michelle Obama

0:56:23.880 --> 0:56:26.520
<v Speaker 2>when they go low, I'll go low too, Like, maybe

0:56:26.560 --> 0:56:28.680
<v Speaker 2>that's what I'll do. I don't know, it could be fun.

0:56:28.920 --> 0:56:31.880
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of dopes in the field, a lot

0:56:32.719 --> 0:56:38.239
<v Speaker 2>and uh and I am not as worried about my

0:56:38.520 --> 0:56:41.759
<v Speaker 2>kind of universal popularity as maybe others are. So maybe

0:56:41.760 --> 0:56:44.880
<v Speaker 2>that's what I'll do. No promises, but there's a few

0:56:45.680 --> 0:56:50.719
<v Speaker 2>that are ripe for the picking here and uh and

0:56:50.760 --> 0:56:55.839
<v Speaker 2>so we'll you know, we'll see uh the so we've

0:56:55.840 --> 0:57:00.160
<v Speaker 2>got you. Oh, by the way, Well, maybe I mean

0:57:00.160 --> 0:57:05.040
<v Speaker 2>there might makes yeah, yeah, I mean there might be.

0:57:05.600 --> 0:57:08.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, there's there's a few people in particular that

0:57:08.560 --> 0:57:14.719
<v Speaker 2>it feels like, you know, their comeuppance is due, so

0:57:14.840 --> 0:57:17.080
<v Speaker 2>that could be maybe that's maybe that'll be a new

0:57:17.120 --> 0:57:19.240
<v Speaker 2>feature of the pod in the new year. We'll see

0:57:19.440 --> 0:57:21.959
<v Speaker 2>quick break right back, what's right?

0:57:27.240 --> 0:57:27.600
<v Speaker 3>All right?

0:57:27.680 --> 0:57:31.640
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back in demand. Let's run through some listener questions

0:57:31.720 --> 0:57:32.919
<v Speaker 2>quick before I got to get out.

0:57:32.840 --> 0:57:36.280
<v Speaker 3>Of here, WX says. Each year we see how valuable

0:57:36.360 --> 0:57:40.240
<v Speaker 3>quarterback rushing is, and it seems the mobile quarterbacks, for example, Stafford,

0:57:40.320 --> 0:57:43.520
<v Speaker 3>are too limited as has the mobile QB become the

0:57:43.600 --> 0:57:47.080
<v Speaker 3>NFL's version of a sinner that can't shoot in today's NBA.

0:57:49.040 --> 0:57:53.040
<v Speaker 2>No, there is a limitation associated with it. But Burrow's

0:57:53.080 --> 0:57:58.320
<v Speaker 2>not mobile, Donald's not mobile, Golf's not mobile, Stafford's not mobile.

0:57:59.120 --> 0:58:01.560
<v Speaker 2>Three of those guys having the best years of their career,

0:58:01.920 --> 0:58:07.960
<v Speaker 2>and Stafford's always dangerous. So it is. It is because

0:58:08.000 --> 0:58:12.840
<v Speaker 2>the traditional pocket passer is becoming, you know, less the standard,

0:58:13.440 --> 0:58:19.720
<v Speaker 2>but Golf, Donald and Burrow are having some of the

0:58:19.720 --> 0:58:22.080
<v Speaker 2>best years any players in the league. So no, I

0:58:22.120 --> 0:58:26.240
<v Speaker 2>don't I don't think that, but I do think I,

0:58:26.320 --> 0:58:29.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, shocker to no one. The best version of

0:58:29.560 --> 0:58:34.520
<v Speaker 2>it is Mahomes Stylistically, forget the talent, a guy that

0:58:34.800 --> 0:58:38.360
<v Speaker 2>has the ability to run, but truly only does it

0:58:38.360 --> 0:58:41.160
<v Speaker 2>in emergency scenarios. That's the best version.

0:58:41.600 --> 0:58:45.800
<v Speaker 3>Next, Tyler question for Nick, do you like Donald to

0:58:45.840 --> 0:58:47.520
<v Speaker 3>the forty nine ers and letting Perty go?

0:58:49.800 --> 0:58:53.760
<v Speaker 2>I depends on the price. And I you know Donald

0:58:53.800 --> 0:58:56.200
<v Speaker 2>was there last year and they loved him, and so

0:58:56.520 --> 0:58:59.640
<v Speaker 2>I I also want to get the results of this

0:58:59.720 --> 0:59:02.880
<v Speaker 2>late Perty elbow injury. And if it's nothing, it's nothing.

0:59:02.920 --> 0:59:07.040
<v Speaker 2>If it's significant, that that's a very big problem for them.

0:59:07.160 --> 0:59:11.360
<v Speaker 3>Next, Curtis ranked the rookie quarterbacks from best season to worse.

0:59:11.440 --> 0:59:13.000
<v Speaker 3>Now that the season is wrapping.

0:59:12.760 --> 0:59:18.400
<v Speaker 2>Up, well, Jaden's clearly number one. As far as the

0:59:18.560 --> 0:59:23.200
<v Speaker 2>individual seasons they've had. It would go Jaden one, Bow

0:59:23.320 --> 0:59:27.680
<v Speaker 2>Knicks two, Caleb three, Drake May four. That's what it

0:59:27.680 --> 0:59:33.720
<v Speaker 2>would be as far as my stock in guys moving forward.

0:59:34.840 --> 0:59:37.160
<v Speaker 2>Of those four, I'm not gonna include Pennis because he

0:59:37.160 --> 0:59:41.120
<v Speaker 2>hasn't played enough and McCarthy hasn't played at all for me,

0:59:41.920 --> 0:59:45.400
<v Speaker 2>and I know this is not what America believes. That's fine.

0:59:45.960 --> 0:59:48.680
<v Speaker 2>I would go Caleb one. I would go exact order

0:59:48.720 --> 0:59:53.160
<v Speaker 2>they were drafted. Actually, Caleb, Jaden, Drake bo Bow's been

0:59:53.200 --> 0:59:55.400
<v Speaker 2>way better than Drake this year, but I think Drake

0:59:55.480 --> 1:00:00.800
<v Speaker 2>has more upside and Jaden, I worry about the injury stuff,

1:00:00.840 --> 1:00:04.440
<v Speaker 2>but he's been so electric. My god, he's been electric.

1:00:05.480 --> 1:00:09.040
<v Speaker 3>Next, Bradley Nick, I think your ravens Lamar take is

1:00:09.080 --> 1:00:12.400
<v Speaker 3>mostly correct. The one thing I would change is is

1:00:12.480 --> 1:00:16.120
<v Speaker 3>it's not big games, it's emotional games. Oughts. I think

1:00:16.120 --> 1:00:18.080
<v Speaker 3>it's like how Andy's time ended in Philly.

1:00:18.760 --> 1:00:22.120
<v Speaker 2>So that's interesting. Maybe it is emotional games and he

1:00:22.160 --> 1:00:25.000
<v Speaker 2>gets in his own head. Maybe it's so Maybe it's

1:00:25.000 --> 1:00:28.640
<v Speaker 2>a that. I gotta think more on that, but that

1:00:28.760 --> 1:00:34.440
<v Speaker 2>seems like a plausible idea. All right, last one, uh Toamas.

1:00:35.120 --> 1:00:37.640
<v Speaker 3>If Lebron retires after this year, do you think the

1:00:37.760 --> 1:00:40.040
<v Speaker 3>NBA loses even more eyes or do you think it

1:00:40.600 --> 1:00:43.400
<v Speaker 3>a right or sorry? Or do you think it revitalizes

1:00:43.440 --> 1:00:43.800
<v Speaker 3>the league?

1:00:46.080 --> 1:00:47.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh? I think it'd be really bad for the league.

1:00:47.960 --> 1:00:49.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't think they're ready for Lebron to retire, but

1:00:49.720 --> 1:00:53.360
<v Speaker 2>he's not going to listen. I'm not claiming to be

1:00:53.520 --> 1:00:56.680
<v Speaker 2>Lebron's closest confidant, but what I will tell you is this,

1:00:57.840 --> 1:01:00.720
<v Speaker 2>Lebron James ain't leaving the NBA without a farewell tour.

1:01:01.720 --> 1:01:04.760
<v Speaker 2>I feel very confident in that Lebron's not gonna be like,

1:01:04.800 --> 1:01:07.240
<v Speaker 2>all right, guys, that's it. I think he's gonna give

1:01:07.320 --> 1:01:13.240
<v Speaker 2>us fair warning on it. I also think that he

1:01:13.320 --> 1:01:17.400
<v Speaker 2>wants to play twenty three years as a like, to

1:01:17.800 --> 1:01:22.680
<v Speaker 2>really wrestle that twenty three number away from Michael Jordan entirely.

1:01:23.160 --> 1:01:26.240
<v Speaker 2>He wore it played twenty three years like it feels

1:01:26.280 --> 1:01:29.440
<v Speaker 2>fitting now. Yesterday he was like, I could play five

1:01:29.520 --> 1:01:33.439
<v Speaker 2>to seven more at this level. And I think he's

1:01:33.640 --> 1:01:38.000
<v Speaker 2>probably telling the truth amazingly, but he's he's gonna get bored.

1:01:38.880 --> 1:01:42.600
<v Speaker 2>I'd love him to play a nice round twenty five years,

1:01:43.000 --> 1:01:48.360
<v Speaker 2>but that's not gonna happen. And so that we'll talk

1:01:48.440 --> 1:01:51.760
<v Speaker 2>more Lebron and and be listen, there's been some I

1:01:51.800 --> 1:01:54.960
<v Speaker 2>don't know if it's complaints, but you know, noticing that

1:01:55.000 --> 1:01:58.720
<v Speaker 2>we have not done nearly as much NBA this year

1:01:59.240 --> 1:02:01.520
<v Speaker 2>as we have a year past. We obviously will once

1:02:01.560 --> 1:02:03.760
<v Speaker 2>football is over, and we probably will in this coming

1:02:03.840 --> 1:02:07.880
<v Speaker 2>month when there's less football news. But I've just been

1:02:07.960 --> 1:02:10.320
<v Speaker 2>so dialed into what I think has been a dynamic

1:02:10.440 --> 1:02:13.720
<v Speaker 2>NFL season that I haven't really had as much interest

1:02:13.800 --> 1:02:16.440
<v Speaker 2>in talking NBA as of yet. All Right, see you
