Speaker 1: Ten Takes is a production of the NFL in partnership
Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio, Mary Christmas, You Filthy Animal. Ten Takes you click.
Speaker 1: I love you for it. I love you every single week.
Speaker 1: I loved you last week. I love you next week.
Speaker 1: I definitely love you this week. We do it in
Speaker 1: ten minutes, not a second more. It's always ten, not
Speaker 1: one more, not one less. About the NFL weekend and
Speaker 1: anything I got going on, anything I think might be
Speaker 1: fun to talk about. Ten Takes. Start the clock. Take
Speaker 1: number one. The ending of the Chiefs Chargers game was
Speaker 1: the funniest moment of the NFL year. I really mean
Speaker 1: this when I say when that kick hit the upright,
Speaker 1: I laughed out loud. It's a sorry state with laugh
Speaker 1: out loud right now, because everyone texts it for years
Speaker 1: and years and years, and so when you actually say
Speaker 1: that you laughed out loud, they think you didn't. You
Speaker 1: think you thought it was mildly amusing, or you're saying
Speaker 1: it to be polite. I promise you. I ge fawd.
Speaker 1: I had a belly laugh when the kick hit the upright.
Speaker 1: It was so funny to me because I personally had
Speaker 1: spent the entire morning and NFL network being in the
Speaker 1: segments about are the Chiefs lucky? Are they good? Or
Speaker 1: are they just lucky? And then it's almost like the
Speaker 1: Chiefs heard those types of segments going around and just
Speaker 1: gave a middle finger to everybody or winked at them
Speaker 1: or whatever gesture is the most flippant and hit the
Speaker 1: upright with the third string kicker. And I'll tell you this,
Speaker 1: in that point five seconds between a ball in any
Speaker 1: situation hitting the upright on a kick, and that moment
Speaker 1: when you know if it's good or not, that point
Speaker 1: five seconds is electric because sometimes it bounces back and
Speaker 1: it's no good, but sometimes it bounces past the crossbar
Speaker 1: and it is good. And it's like in this great
Speaker 1: grated suspense, but there was no suspense for that Chiefs team.
Speaker 1: You knew it was good. Dude, absolutely did. And it
Speaker 1: is so funny to me that they are now leaning
Speaker 1: into how much they are driving people crazy with the
Speaker 1: way they win these games. The way they win these games,
Speaker 1: which they do pretty much every single week except for
Speaker 1: when they lost the Bills. More on the Bills in
Speaker 1: a second, take number two more Chiefs. I've said this before,
Speaker 1: I'll say it again. I don't apologize for saying it.
Speaker 1: I love this Chiefs team. I love them my favorite
Speaker 1: team of the Mahomes era, because I love that people
Speaker 1: hate them. I love that people are sick of them,
Speaker 1: and I love now that they're collecting all of the
Speaker 1: trappings of a dynasty in terms of the reaction from
Speaker 1: the public. Number One, you get all the calls from
Speaker 1: the officials. They've had that for a long time. Number Two,
Speaker 1: you get all the lucky breaks. They've got that now too.
Speaker 1: The only thing missing from the complete set. They got
Speaker 1: to own the whole set is you cheat. And they
Speaker 1: will get there. Eventually someone will come up with something,
Speaker 1: or they'll do something legitimate, most likely the former where
Speaker 1: someone will accuse them of cheating. And once they have that,
Speaker 1: that's like the seven signs of the Apocalypse. It's the
Speaker 1: three signs of the dynasty. And I love that they
Speaker 1: do it. I love that you watch a Chiefs game,
Speaker 1: they look so bad. The offense looks so horrible, and
Speaker 1: not even just horrible. They zero flow, zero chemistry. They
Speaker 1: don't even look comfortable, let alone efficient, And then they're like,
Speaker 1: all right, should we do the thing? Now? Let's do
Speaker 1: the thing. Snap highlight run, by Mahomes Scramble My Mahomes
Speaker 1: Kelsey field goal touchdown. Let's get out here and do
Speaker 1: it next week. It reminds me, and there's not all
Speaker 1: of you will understand this, but some of you will.
Speaker 1: My favorite all time wrestler is the Ultimate Warrior, and
Speaker 1: he used to be getting beat up, beat up, beat up,
Speaker 1: beat up, and then at one point in the match,
Speaker 1: just when you think he's gonna lose, the other guy
Speaker 1: does his finisher to the Ultimate Warrior. You think it's oh,
Speaker 1: it's over. The Warrior then kicks out, starts shaking the ropes,
Speaker 1: starts doing these leg pump things, and the other guy's
Speaker 1: punching them and punching them and punching them, and it's
Speaker 1: like the Warriors like, no, I am impervious to anything
Speaker 1: you do. It's winning time. Gorilla press, shoulder block, splash,
Speaker 1: it's over. The Chiefs do that thing where they start
Speaker 1: shaking the ropes after they've been pinned, and it's so
Speaker 1: fun to watch last point on the Chiefs, all these
Speaker 1: close wins, all these these these lucky breaks, ask yourself this.
Speaker 1: Let's say they get the one seat and they get
Speaker 1: through the wild card with the buy run they get
Speaker 1: the divisional run on that Sunday, If the Chiefs were
Speaker 1: to lose to an insert team here Pittsburg, Houston, Baltimore,
Speaker 1: I don't don't know who it is, and they lose
Speaker 1: that game, and oh my god, they lost the divisional round.
Speaker 1: Given all the breaks that they've had, considering how close
Speaker 1: did they play it, would you be surprised if they
Speaker 1: lost that game, because I would be shocked, shocked. I
Speaker 1: still think they're not gonna lose it. Fifteen and three
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. I don't care how little they win by.
Speaker 1: I still think they'll win the playoff games. Take number three.
Speaker 1: Every Eagles fan I know is at best frustrated and
Speaker 1: at worst terrified. This is why the Philadelphia Eagles are
Speaker 1: one of my favorite fan bases, because they're like this,
Speaker 1: we don't have it. We're gonna lose the playoffs. I
Speaker 1: text with these people, I see these people online. The
Speaker 1: Eagles are in the middle of a nine game winning streak.
Speaker 1: They've won nine in a row. It's almost impossible to do.
Speaker 1: And all the talk after is I don't know if
Speaker 1: Jalen's got his own wide Receiver AJ Brown after a
Speaker 1: win at home is asked so what do you need
Speaker 1: to work on? It says passing. We're gonna get better
Speaker 1: at passing. I could a player off the Raiders or
Speaker 1: Giants right now who looks more joyous than the star
Speaker 1: wide receiver under contract for the Eagles of one nine
Speaker 1: in a row. Their energy is weird, and I think
Speaker 1: part of the problem, especially for the fans. I think
Speaker 1: you see that Panthers logo who you beat yesterday, and
Speaker 1: you're like, oh my god, we almost lost to the Panthers.
Speaker 1: We want to suck. You don't suck, but the Panthers
Speaker 1: don't suck either. You gotta re you gotta update the
Speaker 1: software on the Panthers. Got there. They're different now. Dave
Speaker 1: Canawis has them playing. Bryce Young is confident they almost
Speaker 1: beat the Chiefs. The Panthers are not the team that
Speaker 1: you thought they were. They're better now. It's okay that
Speaker 1: you almost lost to the Panthers. Few teams have almost
Speaker 1: lost to the Panthers. Futures have lost to the Panthers.
Speaker 1: Don't worry about Philadelphia. You're still gonna get to the
Speaker 1: title game. Take number four. You don't care about the Falcons.
Speaker 1: I know you don't. I just bet I find them fascinating.
Speaker 1: What the hell happened to this team? They were in
Speaker 1: first place. Cousins is doing the swag surf and it's
Speaker 1: one of the stories of the year in Atlanta. This
Speaker 1: and Raheem Morris, This Pijon's finally a thing. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts is actually scoring for my fantasy team. And
Speaker 1: now they are just awful. They can't do any thing.
Speaker 1: They go and they get their doors blown off by
Speaker 1: sam Donold and the Vikings not even close. Embarrassing highlights,
Speaker 1: embarrassing low lights. What happened overnight? They haven't won in
Speaker 1: a month, and they were doing great. They didn't have
Speaker 1: any massive season ending injury, they didn't have an off
Speaker 1: the field incident that just derailed them psychologically. They just
Speaker 1: started sucking. The Falcons are like when you're and you're
Speaker 1: gonna go to bed and you're like, oh, your phone
Speaker 1: needs the updates to the new iOS software. You're like,
Speaker 1: all right, yeah, I'll do it while I'm asleep. Okay, sure,
Speaker 1: that'll be great. I'll be efficient. I'll wake up in
Speaker 1: the morning. You wake up in the morning, you go
Speaker 1: over to your phone and you're like, whoa, what is
Speaker 1: this it's saying hello to me in different languages. And
Speaker 1: why does everything look so different? Go back to the
Speaker 1: old phone. I hate this phone. Can you on updates
Speaker 1: and they're like, no, we got you now, sucker, that's
Speaker 1: the Falcons. I want to go back to the old Falcons.
Speaker 1: This new update is terrible. Take number six. Oh crap,
Speaker 1: I'm only on five. Oh now I'm gonna run out
Speaker 1: of time, guys. Take number five. I hope this Bill's
Speaker 1: losses memorable. What I mean by that is I hope
Speaker 1: that in a year and really more importantly, like twenty
Speaker 1: years from now, that Bills fans don't have to look
Speaker 1: back and be like that Rams game that was really
Speaker 1: emblematic of the Josh Allen era in that he turns
Speaker 1: into Thanos and has three rushing touchdowns and three passing touchdowns.
Speaker 1: But the first time in the history of the sport
Speaker 1: and they lose to kind of a middling Rams team.
Speaker 1: Is that a bigger problem? Is that what is going
Speaker 1: to define this era? That they had Josh and he
Speaker 1: did crazy things, but inevitably they just come up short.
Speaker 1: I don't like the play calling at the goal line.
Speaker 1: Tom Brady was all over and I thought a very
Speaker 1: good broadcasting day where you don't run the quarterback sneak
Speaker 1: it makes you burn a time out. They were electric,
Speaker 1: And just because they lost to the Rams and Sean McVay,
Speaker 1: I think the best coach in the league, doesn't mean
Speaker 1: their Bills aren't gonna win the Super Bowl this year.
Speaker 1: I hope it's nothing more than that, and that years
Speaker 1: from now you won't point at that game as the
Speaker 1: perfect example of the Josh Allen era. He's amazing. The
Speaker 1: team figures out away at the end to blow it.
Speaker 1: Take number six, The Chargers are gona winn a playoff game.
Speaker 1: I'm not abandoned in that take. They're not gonna beat
Speaker 1: the Chiefs in the playoffs, but they're gonna win a
Speaker 1: playoff game. Their defense is fantastic, their coach is fantastic,
Speaker 1: their quarterback is gonna be good enough, and they're gonna
Speaker 1: get back their receiver and they're running back. I would
Speaker 1: just don't jump ship on the Chargers if you were
Speaker 1: on the ship just because they lost the Chiefs and
Speaker 1: that was the chief everybody lose the Chiefs. I still
Speaker 1: think they're gonna win a playoff game. Take number seven,
Speaker 1: the Bears are unwatchable. I mean that literally. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do something you're not supposed to do in sports media.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna break one of the rules. I'm gonna admit
Speaker 1: to you, the people. I did not watch one second
Speaker 1: of Bears forty nine ers. Now you're supposed to say
Speaker 1: you watch every game. Oh, I don't miss a game,
Speaker 1: and if I miss it, I watched the coach's tape
Speaker 1: I see in every single game. I didn't watch a
Speaker 1: single snap of Bears forty nine ers. Didn't want to,
Speaker 1: wasn't interested in it. I am so glad that I
Speaker 1: didn't because it looked like the worst football game ever played.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do it. Why would I want to
Speaker 1: expose myself to that. I'm happy for the forty nine ers.
Speaker 1: A lot of guys on that team that I like,
Speaker 1: some of them, I know, personally happy for them. Weren't
Speaker 1: the Bears supposed to get this interim coach bump? What happened?
Speaker 1: Where's the Darren Rizzy effect with the Bears. You're supposed
Speaker 1: to fire your coach and then you go off this
Speaker 1: fools golden winning streak for a few weeks, all right?
Speaker 1: Where was that? I didn't watch one down it. I'm
Speaker 1: not ashamed to admit it. I watched a lot of
Speaker 1: other games. I've watched every other Bears game this year,
Speaker 1: didn't watch this one. Might not watch next week to
Speaker 1: take another week off. Take number eight point Break is
Speaker 1: a wonderful movie to show you your child. I showed
Speaker 1: it to my eleven year old son over the weekend.
Speaker 1: I was so excited. It's one of my favorite movies
Speaker 1: of all time. It's a thirty three year old film,
Speaker 1: and my son absolutely loved it. I'm so proud of
Speaker 1: those guys. I'm proud of Papus, I'm proud of Johnny.
Speaker 1: I'm even proud of Tyler Ann Endicott, I'm proud of
Speaker 1: war Child. I'm proud of all of them. And you
Speaker 1: know why I'm proud because at the end of the movie,
Speaker 1: I turned to my eleven year old son, who loved
Speaker 1: and I said, so, son, did you find yourself at
Speaker 1: the end rooting for Johnny or for body? And he said,
Speaker 1: I don't know, and I said, exactly. I love you, son,
Speaker 1: and I'm proud of you. Take number nine. There are
Speaker 1: rams fans. That's a myth. Oh, there are no The
Speaker 1: visiting team takes over all the whole stadium. I was
Speaker 1: there and so ify yesterday Bill's Rams. There's lots of
Speaker 1: Rams fans now. I don't know if the Chargers fans,
Speaker 1: but they always stay in the broadcast. It's all the
Speaker 1: invading fans. There's lots of Rams fans. I don't know
Speaker 1: if there's charges, but they're definitely are rim Take number ten.
Speaker 1: Meeting Tom Brady is odd. I met Tom Brady, yes say,
Speaker 1: for the first time in my life. I shook his hand,
Speaker 1: I talked to him. It's weird to meet something that
Speaker 1: you've spent so much time of your life watching. I've
Speaker 1: never met Tom Cruise, I've never met Arnold Swarzenegger. I've
Speaker 1: never met Harrison Ford. But meeting Tom Brady kind of
Speaker 1: felt like that, like I have spent years watching you,
Speaker 1: studying you, and I'm really impressed by you. And you
Speaker 1: know what, he was really friendly and very kind and
Speaker 1: out going. I met Tom Brady and it was odd.
Speaker 1: I hope I meet Tom Crews next and that's it.
Speaker 1: It's over. Meeting Tom Cruise might be odd. I hope
Speaker 1: I do it before he dies on the set of
Speaker 1: one of those Mission Impossible movies. Because we know that's
Speaker 1: gonna happen. I kind of think he wants that to happen.
Speaker 1: I think he wants to go out that way. This
Speaker 1: is not called eleven takes. Why am I still talking?
Speaker 1: It's ten takes. It's ten minutes. As promised, Holiday season,
Speaker 1: the best time of the year. We will be back
Speaker 1: next week. In the meantime, please share, please tweet, please
Speaker 1: like I'm not here for my health. You're listening. If
Speaker 1: you enjoy it, let people know about it. It helps
Speaker 1: helps me, it helps you, helps all of this helps
Speaker 1: the world. It really does. See you next week. Ten
