But the baseball 28 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: game was not all that great. I'm sorry JJ and 29 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: Retten and Nostradinas and all that. So the football game 30 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 1: there was more juice, and I go where the juice is. 31 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 1: That's the mantra. You start out where the better story 32 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 1: isn't the better story the Sunday night NFL game. So 33 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: that is where we will begin. We will get to 34 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 1: the baseball later. It will start at Arrowhead Stadium, just 35 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 1: down the street from the home of the Bain Mallard 36 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: Chicken Fingers had a great Mallard meet and greet by 37 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: a year ago last November. There was wonderful just a 38 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: Smorgesborg of chicken fingers in the air everywhere there at 39 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: the landing in Liberty, Missouri. But on Sunday night, an 40 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: island game. We love our island games. Explain that over 41 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: the weekend on the Fifth Hour podcast, which I know 42 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: you listened to you heard the Fifth Hour podcast every 43 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: single FN day on the weekends. So the Detroit Lions 44 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: roared into Cansau City for the little playdate with the Chiefs. 45 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: That was the setup, that was the matchup. And I 46 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,959 Speaker 1: don't know if you're watching this, the baseball game was 47 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: going on. It was a quick NFL game, pretty fast 48 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: NFL game. Baseball games start a little bit before the 49 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: game in the NFL. So if you're not watching Patrick Mahomes, 50 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: wake up the echos. Two hundred and fifty seven yards 51 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: passing three touchdowns. You also scrambled for another score. And 52 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 1: Malon Matth tells me that's four touchdowns for Patrick Mahomes 53 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: and he led the Chiefs to a thirty to seventeen 54 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: win over the Detroit football team as Marquise Hollywood Brown 55 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: had two touchdown receptions Xavier Worthy had another. The Chiefs 56 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: get back to five hundred at three and three on 57 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: the season. They played a near flawless game. More on 58 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: that coming up in a little bit there. They had 59 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: no penalties, no penalties for the Chiefs, no turnovers. This 60 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: is one week after you get a penalty, you get 61 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: a penalty, you get a penalty and that Monday night game, 62 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: that last second loss, when the Chiefs defense stood around 63 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: and watched the klutz quarterback for Jacksonville, Trevor Lawrence, fall 64 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: down multiple times and then go in the end zone 65 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: because Chris Jones decided he want to hustle. I want 66 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 1: a dubby anyway. So the Chiefs bounce back and they 67 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: get to win here. And the better story, though, is 68 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 1: in the losing locker room the Detroit Lions following the loss. 69 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 1: We had a rhubarb that took place there following the loss, 70 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: as the Lion's safety Brian Branch boiling over and got 71 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: into it. He refused to do a postgame clappity clap 72 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 1: dappity DApp with Patrick Mahomes, and Branch instead decided he 73 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 1: wanted to deliver a right hook to a man wearing 74 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: a helmet, which generally is not a great idea, but 75 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: he decided to do it anyway, and he threw a 76 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,359 Speaker 1: punch there at Juju Smith Schuster. After the end of 77 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: the game, the teams come and together to exchange niceties. 78 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: That didn't seem very nice, but I don't know, maybe 79 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: it was. It was like a nice friendly punch could 80 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 1: have been there right at midfield. So let us discuss 81 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 1: the question how disappointing, how disappointing is this overall performance 82 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 1: for Dan Campbell's Detroit Lions as they end up on 83 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: the wrong side of the scoreboard and not even close 84 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: in the second half. So I've got ice bucket, toy Poodle, 85 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 1: and Mighty Mississippi and we will combine all of these 86 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 1: things together and we are going to put the biscuit 87 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: in the basket, is what we're going to do. So 88 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: a this one obviously stinks. It's like a sting from 89 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: a hornet for the Lions here because this was supposed 90 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 1: to be as well. The Chiefs aren't that good, but 91 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: still they're at home. It's prime time. You're going against 92 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: Mahomes and those guys. So this is a measuring stick 93 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 1: situation for Detroit, a barometer about where you are right 94 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: now and how you and a little bit of a 95 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,799 Speaker 1: gut check even though the Chiefs don't have a great record, 96 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: and so where do you actually stand? Let's see where 97 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: do you actually stand? Man? Okay, big boy stage right 98 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,479 Speaker 1: there Monday night or Sunday night rather with NBC and 99 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: all that, and how'd that work out? Yeah, on this night, 100 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: on that particular night, Sunday night. You did not measure up. 101 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 1: You just didn't. The game was not even really close 102 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: in the second half, right, it was not. You watched 103 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 1: the end. The Chiefs were in total control of this thing. 104 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: And this wasn't cute little Detroit hosting the Chicago Bears 105 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: in Motown on a Sunday afternoon at Ford Field. This 106 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: was not that. This was Zarohead National TV, big bright 107 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: lights and all that stuff, supposedly big boy football for 108 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: the Lions here and an angry Kansas City Chiefs team, 109 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 1: and we saw what happened for the past month. Dan 110 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: Campbell's Lions were the nfs IT team. I was asking 111 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: my weekly appearance on with my friend Bob Fesco show 112 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: in Kansas City there on our affiliate in the mornings 113 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: on Thursdays, I pop on there and said, well, it's 114 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: the top team in the NFL. I think Dusty might 115 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: have asked me that, and I said, well, right now, 116 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: the Lions, the Lions that they were the one that 117 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: stood out. And so the Lions go out there and 118 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: get whooped, whooped, he whooped in the second half of 119 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: this game here. So all the attitude and the fake kneecap, 120 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: biting all of that. So then Mahomes and the Chiefs 121 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: come out and absolutely slap them in the mouth in 122 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: the second half of this game. And some will say, 123 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: well the Lions were shorthanded, their defense was missing some 124 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: people and all that. Well, you still have to play 125 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: the game. You play the game with who with who's 126 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: out there, and no excuses. And Kansas City again defensively, 127 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: they controlled the game and offense compared to how they 128 00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: had played recently. This was a night day throwback performance, 129 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: vintage performance here. Twenty six first downs, three hundred and 130 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: fifty five yards, the Chiefs toying with them in the 131 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: first half, and then never trailed after halftime. They led 132 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: from soup to nuts in the second half all the 133 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: way through. And Aiden Hutchinson, that Detroit defense looking like 134 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: a team there that was taking part in the ice 135 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: buck bucket challenge, and they did not handle the ice water, 136 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: did not handle that very well. There, they got hypothermia. 137 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: Bad job by them, reality check, slap boom, all that stuff. 138 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: As they go down the Lions go down there. Now, 139 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: Dan Campbell is the head coach of the Detroit football team, 140 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 1: and we're gonna get his comments in a minute, Let's 141 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: go to Jared Golf though. Here's Jared Goff. This is 142 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: Jared Goff on the ineptitude of the Detroit Lions. Take 143 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: a listen. 144 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 3: On offense, I thought we had moved the ball decently, 145 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 3: I think limited possessions certainly, and so were they on offense. 146 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,559 Speaker 3: We were kind of both playing that game of long possessions. 147 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 3: And when you play that game, you gotta score. You 148 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 3: gotta finish in with touchdowns, and they did and we 149 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 3: did that first drive getting the touchdown had been nice 150 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 3: field goals, you know, consolation prize there, But then we 151 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 3: had a couple of drives we just didn't wait three 152 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 3: an hour or five an hour at front and yeah, 153 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 3: so if you're going to play that time with possession game, 154 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 3: you gotta score at the end of them. And they 155 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 3: did it more than we did. 156 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 1: So clearly my TV is not working because I did 157 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: not see that game. I did not see the game 158 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: that Jared Goff described there at all. I think Jared 159 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: Goff matter have had a concussion or something like that. 160 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: That was a welcome back to Earth situation for the 161 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: MotorCity kiddies. Now, let's not gloss over. Let us knock 162 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: gloss over the end of the game as safety Brian 163 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: Branch refusing the niceties from Patrick Mahomes. As we said 164 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: there Mahomes offering to give him a handshake or a 165 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:55,559 Speaker 1: little fist bump there, and instead he decided to wallop. 166 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: It was a mollywob Juju Smith Schuster in the helmet. 167 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,439 Speaker 1: It's dumb because the guy's wearing a helmet, so's it's 168 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: just stupid because the guy's got a helmet on and 169 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: all that stuff and not exactly a real tough guy move. 170 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: You're not Rocky Balboa out there, and you're the guy 171 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 1: the Lions here who got knocked out in the third 172 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: and fourth round. And then your guy threw a tantrum 173 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,679 Speaker 1: after the game. Who goofed? I've got to know on 174 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: the way out the now the Lions are good and 175 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: all that, but that was pretty pathetic. Here's Dan Campbell 176 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:35,079 Speaker 1: on the extra curricular activities post game in Arrowhead. 177 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 4: I'm disappointed because you know, it's been a long time 178 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 4: since you're watching somebody kneel it three times in front 179 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 4: of you and it's not even close. You know, you're 180 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 4: down two scores. I mean, we got we got worked 181 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 4: pretty good. So so yeah, it's disappointing. It's really disappointing. 182 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: Okay, well, the Lions go down there, the Chiefs still 183 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: at the grown up table there, moving on to the 184 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: other side, and that would be the winning side, the 185 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 1: Kansas City side from their perspective. Does this count? Here's 186 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: the question. Does this count as a state victory for 187 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: Andy Reid and the Chiefs here in Week six? Alright, 188 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:21,959 Speaker 1: So now here's the problem. That was a statement win 189 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: as much as a Week six NFL game can be 190 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:25,959 Speaker 1: a statement win. 191 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 4: Right. 192 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: Mahomes and Kelsey were wobbly, very wobbly for the beginning 193 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 1: part of the season, and and so this was one 194 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: of those situations like, hey, we're still around, you know, 195 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 1: remember us, We're still here. We haven't left, We're just 196 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 1: off to the side, and you know, we have every 197 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: intent of still being here at the end of the 198 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: year and all that stuff. And there was just a 199 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:54,439 Speaker 1: little more juice, just a little more right there for 200 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: one night anyway, whether this has any kind of continuation 201 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: or not, for one night, the Chiefs looked like the 202 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 1: Chiefs of recent years, and you know they is that 203 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: going to continue? 204 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 4: Ive? 205 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: Who knows, We'll see the swagger was back there. That 206 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: was like a toy poodle marking its territory on a hydrant, 207 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: if you know what I mean. Right there, they you know, 208 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 1: nobody beats the whiz. They took care of that right there. 209 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: You could see from the opening drive that say, hey, 210 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: this is our house and all that stuff, and they 211 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 1: went there two hundred and fifty seven yards to get 212 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: from whomes. She had three touchdown passes, one touchdown on 213 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: the ground, So all around, sharing the sugar and the 214 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: defense for Kansasy, which was good in Jacksonville. It's not 215 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 1: like they were bad in Jacksonville until the final play 216 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: when they stood there and watched Lawrence fumble and futs 217 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: around and getting the end zone and all that stuff. 218 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: But the second half that is when Detroit really flexed, right, 219 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 1: they really did. Detroit's firepower was totally neutralized in the 220 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: second half of this game. I'm on Ross Saint Brown 221 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: rather quiet. Jared Goff, despite what he said, nothing special, nothing, 222 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: just kind of a blah blah type situation, couldn't get 223 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 1: much of anything other than those checkdowns. Charlie checked down 224 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: for much of the second half there for the Detroit 225 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: Lions and so they scored seven points over the final 226 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 1: thirty minutes. Now, I didn't plan in the NFL, so 227 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,319 Speaker 1: I off to check with Ryan Clark on this. But 228 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: I don't think that's good. I don't think that's good. 229 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,959 Speaker 1: And so Kansas City and then slamming the door shut. 230 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 1: And a credit to Steve Spagnolo, the defensive coordinator there 231 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: is his guys were flying all over the place in 232 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: this one. And that is the first time in weeks 233 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: that I have watched Kansas City and thought, Okay, there 234 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 1: you go. All that crap. They would say, Wow, championship, 235 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: DNA and all that stuff. That's that's it the mode 236 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 1: Joe Potato, big time win, big time win. So there 237 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,839 Speaker 1: you go. That's the roadside billboard the Chiefs have put 238 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:54,839 Speaker 1: up for the rest of the NFL said you thought 239 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 1: we were slipping, I think again. Now. They had looked 240 00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 1: like a team that was sleepwalking, losing to all the 241 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: good teams they had played, and then beating the bad 242 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: teams they had played. And this is the first quality 243 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: opponent the Chiefs had beaten. The Ravens are a bad team. 244 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: The Giants are a bad team, but they would last week. 245 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: They're still a bad team. You know, don't mistake Jackson 246 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: Dart playing well, they didn't play that game. That was 247 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: a Russell Wilson game. That started the Sunday night game 248 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: against can Zaw City. So everything seemed like it was 249 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: in place. Even Andy Reid's mustache seemed like it belonged there, 250 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: It had extra hair to it. It was good to 251 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: go there. So the lesson do not sleep, do not 252 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 1: sleep on the Chiefs there. They are still the standard, 253 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: the gold standard in the AFC. And you know here 254 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: we'll see Buffalo plays on Monday Night, the Bills play, 255 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: I believe Atlanta on the Monday night card. And that's 256 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 1: the other team. I mean, you look around, who else 257 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: the Ravens falling apart Pittsburgh's four and one? Are you 258 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: considering them legit in the AFC? The Chargers? Who's the team? 259 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: All right? Now, last word, let's address the heel, A 260 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: monster in the room, the story that everyone will be 261 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: talking about over the next twenty four hours when they 262 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: talk about the NFL weekend. And that'll be one week, 263 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: one week after it was uglee with a capitol U 264 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 1: ugu lee for the Chiefs. They flipped the script in 265 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: this game against the Lions. I'm talking about from the 266 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: officiating standpoint on Sunday, the Detroit Lions the opponent. There 267 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: there were no accepted penalties, none, none. Against Kansas City. 268 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: Detroit declined an offside penalty on Chris Jones late in 269 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. But that's it, that's all. That's all 270 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: there was. Detroit was penalized four times for thirty eight yards, 271 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 1: and those mistakes swung the game. All four of them 272 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 1: swung the game. It's not my opinion, it's a fact. 273 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: You can go down point by point. An illegal motion 274 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: penalty wiped out a trick play touchdown on the first 275 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: quarter against Detroit. There was a defensive pass interference call 276 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: that extended Kansas City's go ahead drive before halftime. The 277 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: roughing the passer penalty in the fourth quarter set up 278 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: a touchdown that pushed the Chiefs lead to double digits. 279 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: So you see where I'm going with this. Now, question 280 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 1: here's the question, what do you make of the Chiefs 281 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: being we are told the second team in the last 282 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: seventy years, just the second team in the last seventy years, 283 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: to have no accepted penalties against them in a regulation 284 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: NFL game. It's only the second time in seventy years 285 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: that this has happened. So this one, hey, it smells 286 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: all right, I mean, just call like it's the smells does? 287 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 5: I mean? 288 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 1: It reeks of the shield doing what the shield does best, 289 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:08,880 Speaker 1: protecting the crown jewel. And I'm not above buying into 290 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 1: a conspiracy. I'm not. I mean, but he didn't say 291 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 1: by the fourth quarter, I didn't notice the body language 292 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 1: of the Detroit line. Some of the guys in the secondary. 293 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 1: It looked like they were in a telephone tree with 294 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 1: the irs and they were getting bounced around and all 295 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: that stuff. Detroit had measured the fourth penalties for thirty 296 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 1: eight yards in this game, and just about every single 297 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: one of them, as we laid out here, took points 298 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,920 Speaker 1: off the board or helped Kansas City put points on 299 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: the board. And that is not just bad luck. Okay, 300 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 1: that's not just bad luck. That is again the heal 301 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:49,479 Speaker 1: of monster in the room biting the kneecap, nibble, nibble, nibble, 302 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 1: right at the kneecap there. And this is the part, 303 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 1: this is the part where the NFL deep state comes 304 00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: slithering right out. Now. Is that the Taylor Swift effect, 305 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,719 Speaker 1: is that what that is was a phone call made. 306 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: Was this a point of reference, a point of emphasis 307 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: for the NFL referees in this game? It stands out 308 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:21,439 Speaker 1: so much that it'd be hard to believe for a 309 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: rational person that this was not a point of emphasis 310 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 1: for the NFL. The officials are given their directions before 311 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,439 Speaker 1: every game what to look for, what's a point of emphasis. 312 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: I find it impossible that a message was not sent 313 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:42,439 Speaker 1: down to just kind of observe and only call the 314 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 1: obvious penalties. Don't interfere with Kansas City at all. And 315 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: you've got the most marketable pop star on the planet 316 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: who's now an NFL wag wag Wag wag wag. She's 317 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 1: a wag. Yeah, And you think the league wants a 318 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: sub five hundred two four Kansas City team they lose 319 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,639 Speaker 1: this game, they'd be two and four. Please, no, No. 320 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 1: They want those cutaways, those reaction shots, they want the 321 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: merch sales, the TV hype. Is it built in? It's 322 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: baked into the NFL. It's absolutely baked in. And this game, 323 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: with the lack of penalties, was the shortest Sunday night 324 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: game in fourteen years. It's been fourteen years, fourth shortest ever, 325 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,200 Speaker 1: fourth shortest ever. And of course, how does that happen. 326 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 1: That happens because there's no those no penalty flags of 327 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 1: the officials. I'm sure it was just a kuinkie dink 328 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 1: that they decided to swallow the whistle like they were 329 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 1: entering the witness protection program and they're like, it's like 330 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 1: those kids. Kids are supposed to be seen, not heard. 331 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: And that's the referees there. And then when the NFL 332 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: wants that's the lesson. When the NFL wants a game 333 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 1: to flow, all right, they make it a point of emphasis, 334 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: and it flows like the Mighty Mississippi. It just flew by. 335 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,919 Speaker 1: And when they want chaos, it is a flag day festival. 336 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:11,880 Speaker 1: Everyone gets a flag, flags in the air everywhere if 337 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 1: they want that. And so this game flip the script. 338 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 1: Last week was a flag day on Monday night, and 339 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: this week protect the brand at all costs.

The Sunday night NFL game is going on, 377 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,640 Speaker 1: but it's the beauty of Rob Manford and the geniuses 378 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: at Major League Baseball. God forbid you start on a 379 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: Tuesday when you have the stage to yourself. But I digress. 380 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: So the Mariners opening things up in Canada, and a 381 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: surprise as Bryce Miller starting the game. A couple of 382 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: days after the Seattle baseball team played a fifteen hour 383 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: thrill over the Detroit baseball team and Bryce Miller six 384 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:09,120 Speaker 1: sharp innings and Jorge Polanco getting it done there yet again. 385 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: He had the go ahead ribby single in the sixth inning. 386 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: The Mariners getting it done a domination situation after falling 387 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,680 Speaker 1: behind early, and the Blue Jays had the brief one 388 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 1: nothing lead, but the Mariners end up winning it three 389 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: to one as they returned to the American League Championship 390 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 1: Series Seattle for the first time in twenty four years. 391 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: Once a generation, the Mariners get to the League Championship Series. 392 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:37,959 Speaker 1: Cal Rolly adding the tying solo home run, the second 393 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 1: home run he's had here in the postseason led Baseball 394 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 1: with sixty homewerns. Did Aaron Judge hit a home run 395 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 1: in the Ales? No, he did not. Oh he didn't 396 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,400 Speaker 1: play in the Ale, but he did rub some suntan 397 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: lotionan onto the Bahamas, so he's got that going for him, 398 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge. So anyway, the Blue Jays will be right 399 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 1: back at it. Game two will be the early game 400 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 1: five five o'clock eastern, two o'clock in the West against 401 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: the Mariners, who will start Logan Gilbert in that game. 402 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 1: He threw thirty four pitches in the fifteen inning game 403 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: the other night. But the better story is in the 404 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: losing locker room. So let us discuss the question here. 405 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 1: Toronto star Vladimir Guerrero, who did bupkiss in this game, 406 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 1: Vladimir Guerrero said of Toronto's loss, he said, quote, we 407 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: just didn't hit close. Quote Does that explanation work for you? 408 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: Short and sweet? Four words? Vladimir Guerrero said, we just 409 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,679 Speaker 1: didn't hit all right. So my observations, I got drug store, 410 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: MythBusters and cartoon size, and we will combine all of 411 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,160 Speaker 1: these things together and we are going to say hello 412 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: to Krusty the k clown is what we're going to do, 413 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: all right. So number one, all right, number one? So 414 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 1: I'm shaking my head. No, I do not approve the explanation, 415 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 1: while it is factually correct from Vladimir Guerrero Junior. The 416 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:09,199 Speaker 1: Toronto offense was flatter than a pancake in Saskatoon, a 417 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,919 Speaker 1: nice diner there in Saskatoon. That is accurate. This was 418 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: supposed to be the Honky Tonk Jubilee for the Toronto 419 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 1: baseball team. You look at that scene there in Toronto. 420 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: The game was on Fox, and you look at the 421 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,640 Speaker 1: building there. The ballpark was absolutely buzzing. You got that 422 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 1: cheating a hole George Springer, forever tainted as a cheat 423 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: from the twenty seventeen Cheating Astros George Springer hits a 424 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: lead off moonshot bang. Bang must have been a home 425 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 1: run because it was a bang on the trash can 426 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: and the place was louder than a Rush concert. And 427 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 1: then they had to play the rest of the game. 428 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 1: And then they had to play the rest of the 429 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 1: game and nothing. Absolutely Crickets Crickets, zip bow. The baseball 430 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: team from Canada, had one hit in twenty eight at bats. 431 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: One for twenty eight. Now that works out to an 432 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 1: thirty six batting average, which I'm told is not good. 433 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: That was their offense. It was like a tax ride 434 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,120 Speaker 1: off one for twenty eight. The rest of the game. 435 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:19,400 Speaker 1: The Jays house man was not was not Drake. They 436 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: did not have Drake. They had Limp Biscuit keep part 437 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 1: of that limp because the Toronto Blue Jays very limp 438 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 1: their total buzzkill for the Toronto side of things on 439 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,959 Speaker 1: this one. After the Springer home run, it was an 440 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 1: early Christmas Carol, even before Halloween, a silent night. They 441 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 1: had that going for them. So the Blue Jays, you 442 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,160 Speaker 1: look at this offense and they were really flexing against 443 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 1: the Yankees, right They for the most part, even the 444 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: games they lost, exception maybe one. They had a really 445 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 1: good offense going really good in that ballpark. The accusations 446 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 1: had been made that Toronto was up to some funny 447 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 1: business because they've been so much better at home offensively 448 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: than on the road. And so they're using some kind 449 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,640 Speaker 1: of special cam to spy and do they know something 450 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 1: we don't know? Anyway, in this game, the Blue Jays 451 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 1: they needed to go down to the drug store right 452 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,679 Speaker 1: across the street from the ballpark there, go to the 453 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 1: pharmacy at the drug store and pick up the bottle 454 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 1: that there's a prescription for them. It's a little bottle 455 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,360 Speaker 1: of blue pills. Because they did not rise to the occasion. 456 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: They did not rise to the occasion here. You only 457 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 1: get one opportunity. I might be wrong this, but I 458 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 1: think I'm right. You only get one opportunity to make 459 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 1: an opening impression in the American League Championship Series. You 460 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 1: get one opportunity here. And how did that go? Let's 461 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 1: see you set the tone they what kind of tone 462 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: did they set? Alarm bells? Yeah? Not good? And so 463 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,199 Speaker 1: so much for planting the flag. The Mariners were the 464 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,399 Speaker 1: team that planted the flag. The Blue Jays they tripped 465 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 1: across the border is what they did there. And as 466 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: for Vladimir Guerrero and his quote saying about the offense, 467 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 1: we just didn't hit. That was his quote, we just 468 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 1: didn't which is again no kidding, Sherlock. I understand. I 469 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,359 Speaker 1: watched the game understanding you didn't hit, all right, We 470 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: all saw that you did not hit. You did not 471 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: do much of anything. It was right boring to watch 472 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,400 Speaker 1: you attempt to do anything, kind of like Wayne Gretzky 473 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 1: coming out and saying, oh, we just didn't score enough goals. 474 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 1: You think you think now? I prefer the Mike Tomlin 475 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,679 Speaker 1: approach to these things. I always go with Mike Tomlin 476 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: went in doubt, throw Mike Tomlin quote out. When the 477 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:27,959 Speaker 1: Steelers don't play well, tom will come out with some 478 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,959 Speaker 1: over the top quote. For example, Tomlin's quote, I think 479 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: it was last year when things were not going well 480 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: for the Steelers, and he said, we make no excuses. 481 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 1: He said, we seek no comfort. We didn't play well. 482 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 1: Coach well, period, hardstop, boom done. That's it. That's all. 483 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: That's all you need right there. That should be carved 484 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: in to the Toronto Blue Jays. Dugout right there, just okay, 485 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 1: I get it now, The good news for Toronto and 486 00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: the bad news for Seattle is there is no such 487 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 1: thing as momentum. It just doesn't exist. There is no momentum. 488 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: So you don't have to worry about this some kind 489 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 1: of spillover a situation that you just put the baby 490 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 1: to bed. And then's Game two is brand new game 491 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 1: and we'll see what you got now on the winner 492 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 1: side of things, winners on the winter side of things 493 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 1: not as good as story. How do you process the 494 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 1: big dumper? Cal Raley and Seattle winning Game one with Gusto? 495 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 1: All right, so on this one, this is a myth 496 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: Buster specially. It's one of those things I love. The 497 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 1: media narrative gets slashed apart because we're not part of 498 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 1: the mainstream. I don't get paid like mainstream media. We 499 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 1: do the thing overnight here, we're not mainstream. Mainstream is 500 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 1: six am to six pm. Anything after that is not mainstream. 501 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 1: So we're on the fringes in the shadows. Do Do 502 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 1: Do Do Do Do Doo. But this was a MythBusters October edition. 503 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 1: It really was right because remember all the handwringing and 504 00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:00,120 Speaker 1: the gas baggery. I don't know if you paid any 505 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 1: attention to maybe you weren't. You were watching football a weekend. 506 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 1: But if you're a baseball person, the story was, oh 507 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: my god, the Mariners are porked. They have no chance. 508 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 1: Right they played fifteen innings two hundred pitches against the 509 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 1: Tigers on Friday. Now they have to fly across North 510 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 1: America and play right away on Sunday. There's no chance 511 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: they can win. Of course, the problem with that is 512 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 1: they discounted. They discounted the fact that they were not 513 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 1: traveling by stage coach from Washington to Ontario. They were 514 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 1: not doing that. Here. It turns out that when you 515 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 1: travel and you stay at five star hotels, you have 516 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 1: chartered flights, private air travel, you have police escorts. You're 517 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: not exactly taking the Oregon Trail. You know, you don't 518 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 1: have to worry about getting dysentery. Nobody died of dysentery 519 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 1: from the Mariners traveling party on their way to Toronto. 520 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 1: So the Mariners didn't just survive. They've obviously flourished in 521 00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:00,719 Speaker 1: this situation. Here they showed up and after that early 522 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 1: kick to the shins by the Toronto baseball team, the 523 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 1: rest of the way it was bigfoot, heavily caffeinated holding 524 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 1: a Louisville slugger and just going for here. There was 525 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 1: a surgical game on the mound in the American League 526 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 1: Championship Series. Now, I don't know how much of this 527 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 1: is Toronto just being bad. I don't have Bryce Miller 528 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 1: on my really good card. Should I have him on there? 529 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 1: I don't have him on there. I don't have him. 530 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 1: Not a list. I have like a big board card thing, 531 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 1: not a list. Terry Newey, but Bryce Miller. I look 532 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 1: at him. I was like, you know, okay, fine, average 533 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 1: major league starting pitcher, nothing over the top grade, you know, 534 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 1: good during the regular season, hadn't been all that great 535 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 1: in the playoffs, unless I'm maybe my TV was broken 536 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 1: again vintage, though not Jamie Mooy. It was like Jamie 537 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 1: Moyer with more gusto, a few extra ticks on the 538 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 1: gun there for the Mariners. They're slicing up, slicing and dicing. 539 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 1: The Toronto Blue Jays. There was six innings of one 540 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 1: run ball and painting the strike zone like he was 541 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 1: Bob Ross with the paint brush there, and good job 542 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 1: by him and the big dumper doing big dumper things, 543 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 1: sitting a home run there. Boom yachtsee longball, ding dong, 544 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 1: whatever you want to say. Their home run for him. 545 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: So there you go, just like that home field advantage gone. 546 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: Although we do know since the Mariners are like an 547 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 1: honorary Canadian team, right because so many people from Vancouver 548 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 1: come down to watch the Mariners, and there'll be a 549 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 1: lot of Canadians that make their way down across the 550 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 1: border there when they get back to Seattle. But there's 551 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 1: a game again in Toronto later on this afternoon, but 552 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 1: no home field advantage. And it was supposed to be 553 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 1: the party, as we said, supposed to be a party 554 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 1: there Ballpark formerly known as the sky Gnome back in 555 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 1: the day. Now it's got a corporate name. But buzzing. 556 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 1: The fans showed up early there. They had their blue 557 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: that's a lot of powder blue jerseys when they showed 558 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 1: the crowd and ready to scream their lungs out, and 559 00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,120 Speaker 1: there were just a handful of Mariner fans, not many, 560 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 1: not many, And how did that go well? That did 561 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 1: not go well for the home team at all. And 562 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: so very savvy performance for the Mariners. They're a good start, 563 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 1: very un Mariner like, I would say, not very un 564 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 1: Mariner like. There it's a team that's like, well, that's 565 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 1: a nice little story out of the Pacific Northwest, and 566 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 1: it's not approaching it that way, not exactly approaching it 567 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 1: that way. Here after falling behind early, coming back and 568 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 1: monster mashing here and so there you go. They took 569 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 1: the early punch and bounced right back. And that's where 570 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 1: we are. Now we move ahead in the broadcast. We'll 571 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 1: get back to the baseball. But I did want to 572 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 1: go to college football. We had a very high profile 573 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: shakeup in college football while the NFL was being played, 574 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 1: and then later on baseball we had a little wackety 575 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 1: whack as a prominent head coach has been decommissioned pre season, 576 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 1: top five in all of college football, fired before Halloween. 577 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 1: Hard to do, It's hard to do, but it happened. 578 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:15,399 Speaker 1: James Franklin gone, Nana Anna, good bye, see you later. Hey, 579 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 1: going Franklin out. Now. That led to condemnation from some 580 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:25,439 Speaker 1: powerful alumni, you believe it or not, of Penn State. 581 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:29,279 Speaker 1: You'd think after what is transpired here in the last 582 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 1: couple of years that this would not be something to 583 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,760 Speaker 1: be upset about. But there we saw it. The question 584 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:39,760 Speaker 1: on this one Packer's defensive end and a former player 585 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 1: for James Franklin, Micah Parsons says James Franklin quote deserved 586 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 1: better close quote after Penn State dismissed him. So the 587 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:55,080 Speaker 1: question is is that based in any kind of reality, 588 00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:59,720 Speaker 1: did James Franklin get a raw deal from Penn State? 589 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:07,920 Speaker 1: All right, So with all honor, with all due respect, 590 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:13,120 Speaker 1: Michael Parsons is out of his bloody mind. Okay, he 591 00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,759 Speaker 1: got the utmost James Franklin respect. Do you understand when 592 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 1: you're at one of these power schools? I think we 593 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 1: all know this, whether you're a fan of Penn State. 594 00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 1: I'm not a Penn State fan by any means, but 595 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,879 Speaker 1: I know watching college football casually, I don't talk about 596 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,880 Speaker 1: it much because it's not as popular as the NFL, 597 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 1: but watching the big time schools, the power, the elite 598 00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,840 Speaker 1: of the elite, the top of the power conferences, and 599 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 1: Notre Dame, which is not in a conference, but Notre Dame, 600 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:46,400 Speaker 1: SC Michigan, Georgia, Alabama, Penn State, Ohio State, that pedigree 601 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:50,000 Speaker 1: of school. It's how you do against the top teams, 602 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,239 Speaker 1: It's how you do in the made for TV matchups. 603 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 1: That is what separates and twenty five games against top 604 00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:01,640 Speaker 1: ten teams, or James Franklin at Penn State four and 605 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:05,800 Speaker 1: twenty one, four and twenty one against top ten teams. 606 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:10,080 Speaker 1: How about the top five one in fifteen one and 607 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 1: fifteen against top five teams, And you can't have that 608 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 1: record and then claim somehow there's some kind of mistreatment. 609 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 1: It's just not true. In fact, I would argue that 610 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:29,719 Speaker 1: James Franklin got the ultimate, the ultimate celebration. This is 611 00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,360 Speaker 1: one of the great things in his life, James Franklin, 612 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 1: because he was failing, he was drowning as coach at 613 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:40,720 Speaker 1: Penn State, and they rewarded him with one of those 614 00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:46,400 Speaker 1: cartoon sized lottery checks. You know those giant oversized checks 615 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:48,520 Speaker 1: when you win the lottery. This was there. I want 616 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 1: one of those Pennsylvania lottery They're pretty cool. He left 617 00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:57,040 Speaker 1: with forty nine million dollars. Penn State will be paying 618 00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:01,240 Speaker 1: him through twenty thirty one. Forty nine million dollars forty 619 00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:05,280 Speaker 1: a minute. Not to work now you should be. I realized, 620 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,200 Speaker 1: after taxes and all that, it's probably like twenty two 621 00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:11,279 Speaker 1: million or something like that. But still you should not 622 00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 1: ever have to work again. You should be set for life. 623 00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,920 Speaker 1: If he wants to coach. He can coach. But this 624 00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:21,360 Speaker 1: is not a sad thing. This is the ultimate to 625 00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,960 Speaker 1: think that you suck so much that somebody wrote a check, 626 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,120 Speaker 1: some booster. Now, the rumors are that Adidas, who's got 627 00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 1: a big deal with Penn State, they're the ones. I 628 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:31,400 Speaker 1: don't know if that's true or not. I read that 629 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:32,800 Speaker 1: on the internet. I read a lot of things. I 630 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:34,480 Speaker 1: don't know whether that's accurate or not. But the rumor 631 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,480 Speaker 1: is that Penn State so embarrassed and they've got the money. 632 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,399 Speaker 1: They're like, they need Penn State to be good because 633 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,879 Speaker 1: they want to sell overpriced athletic gear. And no one's 634 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,600 Speaker 1: going to buy overpriced gear with Penn State's logo on it, 635 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:50,239 Speaker 1: with the Adidas logo if they blow, and right now 636 00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:54,520 Speaker 1: they blow. They lost a winless UCLA. Now you Seela 637 00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:57,120 Speaker 1: came back and kick the snot out of Michigan State 638 00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,480 Speaker 1: over the weekend. But my gut, but you look at 639 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:04,120 Speaker 1: that and also the Northwestern loss this weekend, So no 640 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,120 Speaker 1: pity party and all that. Uh, this was this was 641 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:11,160 Speaker 1: a platinum handshake that James Franklin got. It was he 642 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:15,440 Speaker 1: was given handcuffs, golden handcuffs. He got golden handcuffs. He 643 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,719 Speaker 1: didn't just get left on the tarmac. He's not. He 644 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,360 Speaker 1: didn't show up drunk like Steve Sarkis in at usc 645 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,000 Speaker 1: and get a rude you know, departure Lane Kiffin on 646 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,959 Speaker 1: the tarmac. None of that stuff right, he got. If 647 00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:33,080 Speaker 1: the math is right on this, James Franklin the second 648 00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:37,600 Speaker 1: largest go away, don't come back. Check this side of 649 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:42,360 Speaker 1: Jimbo Fisher. He got the Jimbo. He got the Jimbo 650 00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,719 Speaker 1: and he deserves better. How does he deserve better? He'll 651 00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 1: he'll end up these guys, these coaches are cockroaches. He'll 652 00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,840 Speaker 1: end up somewhere else at a medium sized program, and 653 00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 1: then he'll have a couple of good years in some 654 00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,920 Speaker 1: power five school or top power five school will bring 655 00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,239 Speaker 1: James Stranklin back. But the the ones that deserve better 656 00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:05,200 Speaker 1: were the players at Penn State. The people that watch 657 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:09,040 Speaker 1: Penn State football. To lose to again, UCLA look like 658 00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,040 Speaker 1: they were't gonna win a game, and they kicked your 659 00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,480 Speaker 1: ass on offense up and down the field. They scored 660 00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:18,960 Speaker 1: whenever they wanted to, and lowly Northwestern. I mean, that's embarrassing. 661 00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,799 Speaker 1: I'm and you have a roster that was a top 662 00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:26,480 Speaker 1: five roster before the year, and Mike is playing the 663 00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,560 Speaker 1: loyalty card. From the bottom of it was I get 664 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:32,560 Speaker 1: I understand he likes Michaeh. Parsons.
