Speaker 2: telling people to like, subscribe, rate review for basically the
Speaker 2: last and I'm now seeing all these podcasts just crushing us.
Speaker 2: I think we're doing really good work, but we've said
Speaker 2: that we've kind of plateaued a bit on the subscribers
Speaker 2: and the ratings. So I'm gonna because I don't ask often,
Speaker 2: and because I think I've earned it by hopefully helping
Speaker 2: you guys make money betting the cheats in the playoffs
Speaker 2: as underdogs. If you could do me the following favor,
Speaker 2: and we're gonna pay it back on this show and
Speaker 2: another shows. If you could leave a review, that would

Speaker 2: definitely subscribe on Spotify or iTunes wherever you listen, and
Speaker 2: on our YouTube page. Subscribing on the YouTube page would
Speaker 2: be greatly appreciated, and I'm wondering if post football season,
Speaker 2: if we might have some content YouTube exclusive via Demanse
Speaker 2: in Los Angeles. He and I haven't talked about this,
Speaker 2: but I've been thinking about it about whether or not
Speaker 2: you could do some standalone content for the YouTube page.
Speaker 2: Whether it's streaming or something. I'm not sure this is,
Speaker 2: but I think it could be a offseason. I meant

Speaker 2: we have a giveaway that we're doing today and throughout
Speaker 2: the week that we'll get into in just a moment.
Speaker 2: But first, here's what missed the cut for today's show,
Speaker 2: Steph Curry versus Sabrina Ayanescu. Apologies if I mispronounced that
Speaker 2: in the three point contest, that's gonna be awesome. Travis
Speaker 2: Kelcey not attending the Grammys, he has a super Bowl
Speaker 2: to play, and Dame returns to Portland, yet the Bucks lose,
Speaker 2: and later in the show, we're gonna be giving away
Speaker 2: some We're gonna have our first ever What's Right Show giveaway.
Speaker 2: I will explain that in moments. But before we do that, Demons,
Speaker 2: let's get right to what the top of the show
Speaker 2: topic is, which is, of course, the Chiefs.
Speaker 3: The Chiefs right on the cusp is at solidifying theirself
Speaker 3: as a dynasty, going to the Super Bowl four times
Speaker 3: in the last five years, on the cusp of winning
Speaker 3: the third one in the last five years. But for
Speaker 3: some reason they are still underdogs in this game.
Speaker 4: Could you explain that?
Speaker 3: And do you think that they deserve to be underdogs
Speaker 3: in this game against the forty nine ers. The forty
Speaker 3: nine ers are obviously pretty good.
Speaker 2: Four nine ers are really good, but the forty nine
Speaker 2: ers have not really played their best ball over the
Speaker 2: last five six weeks. Baltimore crushed them, they had less
Speaker 2: than impressive performances right before and after that game, and
Speaker 2: in both of these playoff games, the Niners have looked
Speaker 2: super vulnerable, particularly on the back end of their defense.
Speaker 2: Here is the crazy thing about the Chiefs in the
Speaker 2: playoffs the last two years, They've consistently been underdogs. AFC
Speaker 2: Title game last year in Arrowhead opened Cincinnati favored by
Speaker 2: a point and a half in Arrowhead. Now that line
Speaker 2: ended up moving to where the Chiefs were the one
Speaker 2: one and a half point favorites to kickoff, but it started.
Speaker 2: Cincinnati is the favorite the Super Bowl neutral sight against
Speaker 2: Philly Philly one point favorite. Round two in Buffalo, Buffalo
Speaker 2: three and a half point favorites, Round or the AFC
Speaker 2: Title game this year against Baltimore. Baltimore closed at a
Speaker 2: five point favorite, and then the Super Bowl opened. San
Speaker 2: Francisco minus three and a half got bet all the
Speaker 2: way down to San Francisco minus one and a half
Speaker 2: and has now been bet back up to San Francisco
Speaker 2: minus two and a half, and so they have allowed
Speaker 2: the Chiefs to credibly be Then nobody believes in US team,
Speaker 2: despite the fact that I think everyone would acknowledge that
Speaker 2: this postseason, at the very least, the Chiefs have looked
Speaker 2: far better than San Francisco has. Now, the Chiefs have
Speaker 2: two significant injuries going into this game that San Francisco
Speaker 2: does not. Joe Tooney, the all Pro left guard who
Speaker 2: got hurt in the Bills game. It looks like he's
Speaker 2: not going to be able to go even in the
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. They hold out hope, but probably not. And
Speaker 2: Charles Amenaho, the one of their major offseason free agent
Speaker 2: acquisitions the defensive end. He tore his ACL sadly in
Speaker 2: the AFC Title Game, and this is brutal for him. Man,
Speaker 2: he was a Niner. He has talked super Bowl all year.
Speaker 2: He has talked about how he signed with the Chiefs
Speaker 2: to get to the super Bowl and a game before
Speaker 2: you get to the super Bowl and a mina, who's
Speaker 2: the one who had the stripsack on Lamar. You know,
Speaker 2: he's been excellent for the Chiefs. He missed the first
Speaker 2: six games of the year with a suspension, so those
Speaker 2: are major losses. We'll see about Willie Gay, We'll see
Speaker 2: about Derek Natty, two Chiefs that starting Chiefs defensive players
Speaker 2: who had to miss the previous week against the Ravens
Speaker 2: and not he's missed I think the last two games.
Speaker 2: In fact, I know he has. He missed the Bills
Speaker 2: game as well, but I think the wrong team's favored.
Speaker 2: And we'll do more super Bowl stuff next week. But
Speaker 2: it is I'm actually happy that the Chiefs have that
Speaker 2: little bulletin board material that they're the underdogs. But I
Speaker 2: want this is what I want to do here. I
Speaker 2: want to tell you guys about our giveaway, and then
Speaker 2: I want to discuss what I think in retrospect might
Speaker 2: be the single biggest game in NFL history. But here's
Speaker 2: our giveaway. So as you guys know, I never had
Speaker 2: a doubt about the Chiefs this year, I have. I
Speaker 2: got the tattoo that says it as much. And this
Speaker 2: is what we're doing for you guys. You guys can
Speaker 2: join me in being right about the team. If you
Speaker 2: also have no doubt about the Chiefs in the super Bowl,
Speaker 2: we can get you a temporary never a Doubt tattoo
Speaker 2: in the exact same script as mine so you can
Speaker 2: show you solidarity. All you have to do is tag
Speaker 2: us on social media at What's Right Show and explain
Speaker 2: why rolling with the Chiefs and include the hashtag never
Speaker 2: a Doubt. We'll pick our favorites and send you a
Speaker 2: replica of my never a Doubt tattoo for you to
Speaker 2: show off at your Super Bowl party. Make sure you
Speaker 2: have your DMS open so we can reach out to
Speaker 2: you if you win. But again, tag us at What's
Speaker 2: Right Show, use hashtag never a doubt and about why
Speaker 2: you believe the Chiefs are gonna win, and we'll send
Speaker 2: you a never adult Chiefs tattoo. We'll pick out our favorites,
Speaker 2: and then I'll find some ways to maybe do some
Speaker 2: in person giveaways of these. Maybe we'll have some extras
Speaker 2: here at Trentage that people can, you know, come by
Speaker 2: and pick up. So we'll do all that, but first
Speaker 2: and foremost tag it. Demanze also has never a Doubt
Speaker 2: tattooed on his forearm, but his is in Korean. But demonse,
Speaker 2: didn't you know, demons show it's right there. It's not there,
Speaker 2: it is. Yeah, he got it very big letters in Korean.
Speaker 2: Never a doubt. I had doubts when he got that tattoo,
Speaker 2: but little did I know he was ahead of the curve.
Speaker 2: All right, I want to talk about what now we
Speaker 2: might look at on as one of the single biggest
Speaker 2: games in NFL history, because if Mahomes wins on Sunday,
Speaker 2: there is going to be a lot of could he
Speaker 2: be the goat conversation? But that conversation runs into two
Speaker 2: significant hurdles. One is seven to three rings Brady to Mahomes,
Speaker 2: and the other is Brady beat him head up in
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl in Tampa. I know some people will
Speaker 2: bring up the fact that Brady also beat him in
Speaker 2: the AFC Title Game, Mohmes first year as a starter.
Speaker 2: That one is less noteworthy to me because Mahomes played
Speaker 2: a perfect game. Brady threw multiple interceptions that you know
Speaker 2: Mahomes by any metric outplayed Tom in that game. And
Speaker 2: then he can get the ball in overtime, and Tom
Speaker 2: had his best drive of the game at the end
Speaker 2: and in overtime. But the Super Bowls the Super Bowl,
Speaker 2: and the Chiefs were the defending champs, the Chiefs were
Speaker 2: the favorites, the Chiefs had beaten them in the regular season,
Speaker 2: and the Chiefs got their ass kicked. And so for
Speaker 2: all those reasons, Mahomes has a very tough hill to
Speaker 2: climb in the goat conversation. So just as a thought exercise, demanse,
Speaker 2: let's pretend for a moment the Chiefs had beaten the
Speaker 2: Bucks in that Super Bowl. And when we talk about
Speaker 2: the biggest names and people in NFL history, how that
Speaker 2: one game going differently would change everyone's legacies and thoughts. Okay,
Speaker 2: start with Bill Belichick. How much of Bill Belichick's current
Speaker 2: kind of slide in standing has been because Tom Brady
Speaker 2: left him and immediately won a Super Bowl, as opposed
Speaker 2: to if the Chiefs had won that game, it would
Speaker 2: have been, well, you played Mahomes and Andy in the
Speaker 2: playoffs with Belichick, you won the game. You played him
Speaker 2: in the super Bowl without him, you lost the game.
Speaker 2: But more so from Bill. If Patrick wins on Sunday,
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl total is going to be seven to
Speaker 2: three Tom Patrick, with Tom having been two to zero
Speaker 2: in the playoffs against him again, flip the result of
Speaker 2: that won super Bowl. Now it's six to four. Mahomes
Speaker 2: would have won four in five years, which no one
Speaker 2: has ever done. They'd be one and one in the
Speaker 2: playoffs against each other, and I think most people would say, oh,
Speaker 2: he's going to become, if not already, the greatest player ever.
Speaker 2: That one game the thing it changed as far as
Speaker 2: how also Tom, people would say what they kind of
Speaker 2: now say about Bill. They would say, well, he was
Speaker 2: good without Bill, but never, you know, never was able
Speaker 2: to get over the hump, never was able to win
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl, and he won one in his second
Speaker 2: to last year with the Patriots. That one game, the
Speaker 2: butterfly effect it has on the rest of the league
Speaker 2: as far as legacies. The Chiefs would already have had
Speaker 2: a back to back and the way we look at
Speaker 2: the goat debate. It's wild to me because the difference
Speaker 2: between it being currently seven to two and maybe here
Speaker 2: in a few weeks seven to three versus it being
Speaker 2: six to three and maybe in a few weeks six
Speaker 2: to four, it might be a hurdle too high for
Speaker 2: Patrick to overcome for the count the rings folks, but
Speaker 2: it is. It also makes me happy that that game
Speaker 2: wasn't in retrospect close because it would even more Oh
Speaker 2: and you blew it at the Chiefs just getting their
Speaker 2: ass kicked start to finish. Other people have asked me
Speaker 2: about the one other you know, playoff loss to Brady
Speaker 2: in the twenty eighteen season and how much that burns
Speaker 2: the D FOURD off sides game all that, I've now
Speaker 2: come to peace with this. I truly believe had the
Speaker 2: Chiefs won that game, they wouldn't have fired Bob Sutton,
Speaker 2: the inover has had defensive coordinator, and then brought in
Speaker 2: Steve Spagnolo, who, in my opinion, has been the fourth
Speaker 2: most important person of this dynasty. It goes Andy, I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: it goes Patrick, then Andy, then Travis, and then Steve Spagnolo.
Speaker 2: But if the Chiefs hadn't beaten the Patriots and made
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. I don't think they bring in Bob Sutton.
Speaker 2: I don't think they bring in Steve Spagnolo. So I'm
Speaker 2: kind of at peace with that loss. Typically, but everything
Speaker 2: that's happened since then, if it all rolls the same,
Speaker 2: but the Chiefs find a way to win that Super
Speaker 2: Bowl against Tampa, we are having totally different discussions. But
Speaker 2: such his life. And now they got to take care
Speaker 2: of Brock in the forty nine ers, and let's go
Speaker 2: ahead and get to them now, Demonse, all right.
Speaker 3: So the Avengers love nothing but hyping up Brock Party
Speaker 3: and backing them up. Christian McCaffrey just said the other day,
Speaker 3: I don't know when exactly it was, but he said
Speaker 3: Party takes a lot of heat for absolutely no reason.
Speaker 3: It's like he wasn't there in the football game that
Speaker 3: they just played a few days ago. Are the forty
Speaker 3: Do you think the forty nine ers are overcompensating because
Speaker 3: they know Rock Party isn't that good?
Speaker 4: What do you think is going on there? Is it genuine?
Speaker 3: I think it's I think it's a little genuine.
Speaker 2: I think it's a little genuine. I think it's a
Speaker 2: little trying to gas their guy up and build his confidence.
Speaker 2: I also think that it's a little straw many like
Speaker 2: I at this point demonse and starting to be flattered
Speaker 2: that my voice in the sports media seems to have
Speaker 2: grown loud enough that me and Cam Newton and a
Speaker 2: couple other people saying pump the brakes on brock Party
Speaker 2: as League MVP has become this rallying crid where Draymond
Speaker 2: Green is referencing this stuff in Warriors post games like
Speaker 2: I go ahead.
Speaker 3: Demanse, Yeah, I was just about to say I didn't
Speaker 3: see that. I saw it in the rundown. I mean
Speaker 3: that kind of brings me to the follow up. Do
Speaker 3: you think that Draymond Green might have said something to
Speaker 3: backup Rock Party?
Speaker 4: It's to slight you.
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, I mean yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean I think it's at least part of it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 3: I like.
Speaker 2: So, here's the thing. I it is odd to me
Speaker 2: that so much of the conversation is brock Party gets
Speaker 2: no respect when that conversation is being had had in
Speaker 2: the same football universe of Brock Purty NFL MVP finalist,
Speaker 2: Brock Party, pro bowler. Brock Party is like he is.
Speaker 3: You can't say that nobody gives him respect. And the
Speaker 3: argument is he should be m VP.
Speaker 2: Exactly, and when he's a finalist for MVP, which means
Speaker 2: he's top five vote getter this year. So this when
Speaker 2: they say the media doesn't respect him, the media is
Speaker 2: the one voting on MVP and he's a finalist, And
Speaker 2: so the the I I was, and I said it
Speaker 2: on Tuesday. I was impressed by some of the things
Speaker 2: he did in the NFC Championship game. Some of you know,
Speaker 2: he played poorly, obviously in large stretches of it, but
Speaker 2: then he made some some of the scrambles were good.
Speaker 2: He made a couple of really nice throws. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: but I I think there is a level of projection
Speaker 2: and where I get frustrated. And I talked by the
Speaker 2: way Damon Bruce speaking of subscribing things on YouTube, if
Speaker 2: you're a Bay Area sports fan, Damon Bruce, in my opinion,
Speaker 2: the best sports radio host in Bay Area history, started
Speaker 2: his own YouTube channel in his own podcast that he
Speaker 2: went Independent. I went on with him last night for
Speaker 2: like forty five minutes. You guys should subscribe to Damon
Speaker 2: Bruce Plus if you for anything Warriors, Niners, bay Area
Speaker 2: related and he and I argued about Brock Purty and
Speaker 2: here is to me, what is so interesting about the
Speaker 2: party thing. His biggest supporters agree with me on so
Speaker 2: many things. They just don't like my delivery. If you
Speaker 2: ask the biggest Brock party supporters, hey, okay, no matter
Speaker 2: what you think of him, are there five guys on
Speaker 2: the Niners offense better than him? They will sheepishly try
Speaker 2: to change the subject and then typically admit, yes, Trent,
Speaker 2: Christian Kittle, Ayuk debo, all five of those guys are
Speaker 2: better at their jobs than pretty as it is, and
Speaker 2: my frustration.
Speaker 4: But those other guys aren't the Trent Williams.
Speaker 3: That isn't the position that usually gets MVPs like A
Speaker 3: couple of those positions aren't even really like in the
Speaker 3: race so to speak for mv.
Speaker 2: Of course, No, no, that's absolutely right.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: I don't disagree with you on that. My My point is,
Speaker 2: though we Trent Williams only gets a Christian McCaffrey never
Speaker 2: gets asked, man, how good is Trent Williams? Brandon Ayuk
Speaker 2: never gets asked how good is George Kittle? These guys
Speaker 2: who are a plus players are then asked about and
Speaker 2: I get it to the quarterback, like how good is Brock?
Speaker 2: And I feel like we are we are efforting to
Speaker 2: build other to a degree where it almost by default
Speaker 2: takes away some from the actual great players. But we'll see, man,
Speaker 2: Like you couldn't have asked for a better scenario for
Speaker 2: folks that have wanted my Brock Party take to be
Speaker 2: a classic Category three. When I'm confident it's gonna be
Speaker 2: a classic Category two, go ahead.
Speaker 3: I got shut I got shut out last week when
Speaker 3: this topic came up. But exactly what you said was
Speaker 3: gonna happen. I'm not saying that Brock Perry is gonna
Speaker 3: go and beat Mahomes, but this is like nightmare fuel
Speaker 3: for you, like the forty nine ers of gear notes
Speaker 3: to play the Chiefs in the super Bowl, And if
Speaker 3: Rock Party beats the Chiefs in the super Bowl, it's
Speaker 3: I'm truly gonna feel for you, like genuinely I'm gonna be.
Speaker 4: Sad for you.
Speaker 2: I mean, I went through something similar the last time
Speaker 2: the Chiefs were going for a repeat, which was I
Speaker 2: was the guy all year long doubting Brady with the Bucks.
Speaker 2: Now it's a different type of doubt because Brady was
Speaker 2: already the goat. But but I was saying that I
Speaker 2: thought he wasn't the same player that you know. I
Speaker 2: would love if the Chiefs got to play them in
Speaker 2: the super Bowl, which, by the way, that I have
Speaker 2: never said about San Francisco because I have so much
Speaker 2: respect for that roster and that team as a whole.
Speaker 2: I've never said like, oh, that would be the dream
Speaker 2: super Bowl matchup. And then Tom Brady played the Chiefs
Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl and they kicked their ass and
Speaker 2: I had to eat it and wear it all off season.
Speaker 2: This is now any other NFC team that made it,
Speaker 2: I would be on a total take free role. If
Speaker 2: the cow always made it in one. I picked the
Speaker 2: Cowboys all year, right. If the Lions made it in one,
Speaker 2: I haven't been one of those people calling the Lions
Speaker 2: frauds like I've been like, hey, that's a good team that.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: If Baker made it in one, I almost get more
Speaker 2: credit than it had, right Uh. If the oh, I guess,
Speaker 2: if the Eagles had done it, I would have had
Speaker 2: to be pretty little eagle my face because I had been.
Speaker 2: But the Eagles were The Eagles had as good a
Speaker 2: chance of winning three playoff games as the Panthers did
Speaker 2: the way they looked going into the playoffs, the Packers,
Speaker 2: I would have just been happy for you, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean. Nobody's like, oh, Nick, you've hated on
Speaker 2: the Packers and the Rams. I the last two months,
Speaker 2: I was saying that I thought they could make the
Speaker 2: super Bowl out of the NFC. I you know, I
Speaker 2: picked them to be in the conference championship game.
Speaker 4: Team.
Speaker 2: The Niners are the only one which but it also
Speaker 2: could be the single best like it Also, there is
Speaker 2: a game script here where Mahomes drives down the field
Speaker 2: and gets a quick seven.
Speaker 3: And just where party just folds and all that stuff
Speaker 3: comes to.
Speaker 2: Light where the Chiefs get an early lead, the Niners
Speaker 2: make a mistake, or they get stopped, or their crummy
Speaker 2: rookie kicker misses a field goal, and before you know it,
Speaker 2: it's ten to nothing Kansas City. And I know the
Speaker 2: Niners have had comebacks this postseason, right, and then all
Speaker 2: of a sudden, we have some tip passes, we have
Speaker 2: some pretty hospital balls, we have some ducks over the
Speaker 2: middle of the field. Like there is a script where
Speaker 2: and here's the other thing I'll say about the party stuff.
Speaker 2: I think the Niners should tamp down the conversation surrounding
Speaker 2: it for two reasons. One, this guy has a blinked
Speaker 2: I give him credit. The Super Bowl is going to
Speaker 2: feel different two weeks leading up to it, staring across
Speaker 2: the field at Patrick Mahomes, knowing what is at stake
Speaker 2: for him, for his career, legacy, all of it, It's
Speaker 2: gonna feel different. Anger's the fact that the biggest storyline
Speaker 2: going into the game is going to be Here's brock
Speaker 2: Perty's arc, Here's Tom Brady's arc, Here's Brock Purty's arc,
Speaker 2: Here's Joe Montana's arc. That's gonna be the storyline. And
Speaker 2: some you know, tricky television producers are also going to
Speaker 2: do Here was brock Purty this season, Here's Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 2: this season. And there is going to be I think,
Speaker 2: added undue pressure on the kid because his teammates are,
Speaker 2: you know, so leaning into him being the story. Here's
Speaker 2: the other thing that I believe is going to happen.
Speaker 2: I believe some San Francisco forty nine or at media
Speaker 2: Nite at the Super Bowl is going to say the
Speaker 2: seemingly innocuous thing that most people would say in this spot,
Speaker 2: and as soon as they say it, my buddy Bobby Stroup,
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes's personal trainer, will find the clip and tweet
Speaker 2: it out, which means he sent it to Patrick. And
Speaker 2: the quote is going to be this San Francisco forty
Speaker 2: nine or X call it, uh, maybe George Kittle. I
Speaker 2: think Brock is the best quarterback in the NFL. End quote,
Speaker 2: And that is not seemingly a shot, but I'm telling
Speaker 2: you it will be viewed as one.
Speaker 3: And so I think the quarterbacks are even in the
Speaker 3: super Bowl.
Speaker 2: Well, but it will be like the I don't think
Speaker 2: anyone is going to say the words I think Brock
Speaker 2: is better than my I don't think they're gonna say that,
Speaker 2: but I do think someone will say he's the best
Speaker 2: quarterback in the NFL, which Mahomes is in the NFL.
Speaker 2: So just you know what I mean, just kind of
Speaker 2: file that away and we'll see if it happens. Before
Speaker 2: we get to the Cowboys and Belichick, we have some
Speaker 2: early contest juries that we can throw up on the screen. Again,
Speaker 2: tag at What's Right show and use hashtag never a
Speaker 2: Doubt If you want to try to get one of
Speaker 2: these free temporary tattoos thousand of cards says, or the
Speaker 2: House of Cards tweeted A thousand cards tweeted I believe
Speaker 2: in the Chiefs because of fifteen. Patrick Mowons can't be stopped.
Speaker 2: I can't say never a doubt for most of the season,
Speaker 2: but I'll never doubt fifteen again. I appreciate the honesty there, Buddy,
Speaker 2: the Knitton says, I've been trying to tell everyone that
Speaker 2: they just won the Super Bowl with the same receiving corps.
Speaker 2: No one ever listens. I get called fake fan, bandwagoner,
Speaker 2: et cetera. But It'm really just about the facts. If
Speaker 2: Mahomes is playing, I'm not betting against him, smart man.
Speaker 2: And then Dylan Mayle says, why the Kansaity Chiefs are
Speaker 2: gonna win the Super Bowl? Better coach, better defense, far
Speaker 2: better quarterback gets throw to the goat tight end. It's
Speaker 2: really that simple. At What's Right show hashtag never a doubt?
Speaker 2: Love it, So keep sending those in and we'll pick
Speaker 2: some winners. What's up to Monsey? Did you want to
Speaker 2: say somewhere you want to move on to the count?
Speaker 4: No? That was that was That was awesome.
Speaker 3: Guys, don't bet against Patrick Mahomes, but onto the Cowboys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 4: Uh so Yeah.
Speaker 3: Jerry Jones, he stirred the pot yesterday and he said
Speaker 3: that he believes that he and Bill Belichick could definitely
Speaker 3: work well together.
Speaker 4: I think we're gonna pull up the Coulte board.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no doubt in my mind we could work together. None. None. Yo,
Speaker 3: Why did he do this? And should we send him?
Speaker 3: Never a doubt stand for his new relationship.
Speaker 2: He's out of his mind and not because why would
Speaker 2: he do that?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 2: It's not that I disagree that he and Belichick could
Speaker 2: work together, but you Kepta McCarthy, like, could you imagine
Speaker 2: demonse could could? Like if trying to think of a
Speaker 2: good example here, if it became very well known that
Speaker 2: who's a great sports podcaster, I'll use Kevin Clark. I
Speaker 2: think he's awesome. I think Kevin Clark, he does stuff
Speaker 2: for Omaha, I think he's awesome. If Kevin Clark was
Speaker 2: very publicly looking for a new podcasting role and you
Speaker 2: were very publicly on the hot seat here and I
Speaker 2: make an announcement, we're bringing Demonsee back. You know what.
Speaker 2: We didn't like the what how the last year ended,
Speaker 2: but we're bringing him back. And then A week later,
Speaker 2: I tell Andrew Marshand, Oh do I think me and
Speaker 2: Kevin Clark could work well together? You bet your ass?
Speaker 2: I feel we could absolutely Yeah, No, I have no doubt. Hey,
Speaker 2: you would then be like wait a minute here, like
Speaker 2: how old I see? And here's the So here's the
Speaker 2: Manginie on the show yesterday said he thinks it's more
Speaker 2: than on the board that Belichick never gets another job.
Speaker 3: That no, I would say the same thing to some
Speaker 3: of my colleagues yesterday.
Speaker 4: I thought I was insane.
Speaker 2: So he's I mean, he's not going to get a
Speaker 2: job this cycle. And so then he would be the
Speaker 2: oldest coach ever in NFL history, oldest head coach a
Speaker 2: year from now. And that is I that is to
Speaker 2: me unfathomable. But maybe it's true. Here's the thing that
Speaker 2: Colin has brought up a bunch that I think Warren's mentioning.
Speaker 2: There are, in my opinion, five a lister quarterbacks demanse
Speaker 2: who their head coach starts next year on the semi
Speaker 2: hot or red hot seat Okay with McDermott, Jalen with
Speaker 2: Sirianni Dak with uh McCarthy, McCarthy, Trevor with Doug Peterson
Speaker 2: and Caleb with the head coach of the Bears. I
Speaker 2: reflus I think all I think any of those five
Speaker 2: coaches could be fired if next year goes poorly, I
Speaker 2: would expect at least a couple of them probably to
Speaker 2: be fired. So unlike this year where there was only
Speaker 2: one a list quarterback Herbert with a coaching vacancy available,
Speaker 2: next year there could be a handful. And if you're Belichick,
Speaker 2: I honestly think the Cowboys of those five potential jobs
Speaker 2: are the least attractive. I think because of the ownership,
Speaker 2: because of Dak's contract, and because of some of the things.
Speaker 4: Like it's just like I don't think that's gonna end
Speaker 4: up going anywhere.
Speaker 2: Well, so that's the concern. That's the concern is exactly
Speaker 2: that is that the And now maybe Belichick could unlock it.
Speaker 2: But if if you again, I don't know that he'll
Speaker 2: have his choice of jobs. But if I were him,
Speaker 2: the idea of getting Trevor to a higher level, getting
Speaker 2: Josh to just cut out some of the turnovers, building there,
Speaker 2: going to Philly, getting Jaalen back to where he was,
Speaker 2: along with having that d line personnel and the Caleb thing.
Speaker 2: I don't think the Bears would hire seventy three year old.
Speaker 2: I think Bill Belichick. That that's why I thought Philly
Speaker 2: should fire Sirianni and bringing Bill immediately, but they didn't.
Speaker 2: All right, let's go speaking of coaching. I mean, we're
Speaker 2: kind of doing this there, but we can get more
Speaker 2: into it here.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 3: So, obviously there's been a huge coaching fiasco, a lot
Speaker 3: of jobs opening up, a lot of jobs being closed.
Speaker 3: Did On Belichick, Carl and Vrabel are still available, obviously,
Speaker 3: but Ben Johnson managed to stay put. There's one opening left,
Speaker 3: and it doesn't seem like they're likely to pick any
Speaker 3: of those guys. How do we go from so many
Speaker 3: there being so many coaches to coaches being snubbed in
Speaker 3: an abundance of coaches announces?
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I don't know that Ben Johnson thing. You know,
Speaker 2: it was reported that he wanted crazy money and that
Speaker 2: that turned some teams off. Vrabel I think is confident
Speaker 2: he can get a really good job. So when the
Speaker 2: charger job wasn't there, you went to Harball. He wanted
Speaker 2: to fall back. I don't know how much of a
Speaker 2: market there I guess was for Carol and Belichick because
Speaker 2: of their age. I think that probably works against them.
Speaker 2: But I also think to reference back to what I
Speaker 2: said earlier, if you're one of those guys and you
Speaker 2: believe you can get a job, waiting a year is
Speaker 2: not the worst idea. Like where if you believe that
Speaker 2: the Cowboys, Eagles, Bills, those three at least one, if
Speaker 2: not two, of those three could come open. What was
Speaker 2: very surprising was no team that made the playoffs fired
Speaker 2: their coach. That usually happens that a team makes the playoffs,
Speaker 2: but it was disappointing like what happened with the Eagles,
Speaker 2: or just falls totally flat on their face, like happen
Speaker 2: with the Cowboys that despite making the playoffs, they fire
Speaker 2: their coach, but they didn't. All right, keep the never

Speaker 2: All right, demonse, what are we doing here now? Oh,
Speaker 2: we've got one we can show. Sorry, all right, let's
Speaker 2: see I'm seeing the I'm seeing black on my screen,
Speaker 2: so I can't see that. Okay, Patrick Mahomes reminding the
Speaker 2: rest of the NFL how many cans of Whoop Pass
Speaker 2: he saws available. That's a decent meme. That's I don't
Speaker 2: know what it's from. I'll be honest with you, I'm
Speaker 2: not sure, but uh shout out.
Speaker 3: I think that's themselves.
Speaker 2: We entered the contest. All right, demonse, Let's go on
Speaker 2: to the Lebron and the Lakers.
Speaker 3: So we are a week away from the trade deadline,
Speaker 3: the NBA trade deadline, and Lebron is already tweeting We're
Speaker 3: going to show those on YouTube.
Speaker 2: Hour the hour glass where time is running out, not
Speaker 2: the hour glass where it just started. That is no right,
Speaker 2: So the two hour tweet, man, he tweeted the one,
Speaker 2: yeah that where time is running out.
Speaker 4: Go ahead. Guys are such big babies.
Speaker 3: But you said you don't You said you don't think
Speaker 3: he'll demand a trade, but still help the Lakers trade him.
Speaker 3: Would Lebron's legacy take a hit with a mid season trade?
Speaker 3: Or like maybe that tweet was about Darvin Ham.
Speaker 2: Oh, I think it probably was about Darvin Ham. But
Speaker 2: but firing the coach. The Lakers don't have a move
Speaker 2: they can make to make them championship caliber, all right,
Speaker 2: There's just not There isn't one they could improve. They
Speaker 2: could fire the coach, they could try to acquire Zach
Speaker 2: Lavine or de Jonte Murray, but I don't know that
Speaker 2: that makes them championship caliber. It's crazy that Lebron and
Speaker 2: ad have been healthy all year and they're a five
Speaker 2: hundred team. I would like Lebron to be traded that
Speaker 2: he could go. There are three teams out East right
Speaker 2: now that I think are a tick below championship caliber
Speaker 2: that if he went there could win the whole thing.
Speaker 2: The Heat, the Sixers, or the Knicks. I think all
Speaker 2: three of those teams would be with Lebron good enough
Speaker 2: to win the title. And if Lebron were to say
Speaker 2: to the Lakers, because Lebron's a free agent after this year,
Speaker 2: I'm leaving after this season, so why don't you get
Speaker 2: something back for me, I think it could be great
Speaker 2: for all parties. I just don't think he'll do it.
Speaker 2: I think one of the reasons he won't do it
Speaker 2: is because I think he wants to be for the
Speaker 2: rest of this season in Los Angeles so he can
Speaker 2: watch Bronny play. I think that he's not gonna, you know,
Speaker 2: he's never done a mid season move where all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, you know, his daughter and other son, he's
Speaker 2: not gonna be able to be around them. And I
Speaker 2: think he takes a lot of pride in the fact
Speaker 2: that he has honored every contract he's ever signed. He's
Speaker 2: never asked out, he's never demanded a trade. He has
Speaker 2: only left teams via free agency when the contract has expired,
Speaker 2: and so I think he takes pride in it. I
Speaker 2: do think it's a shame though, this year, because the
Speaker 2: Lakers are not good enough and uh and he's just
Speaker 2: so that that's where we're at on the Lakers. Also,
Speaker 2: NBA don't have the trade deadline be three days before
Speaker 2: the super Bowl. From just like a content perspective, Push
Speaker 2: it back to a week after the super Bowl and
Speaker 2: you'll get all the conversation. I don't undert like. I
Speaker 2: just think it's bad from a strategy perspective. But go ahead, Demante.
Speaker 3: So dan Quinn just went to the Commander's breaking news.
Speaker 2: Oh wait, oh, I saw that that might be happening. No, no, no,
Speaker 2: that was good. I'm I'm done with the lebron stuff.
Speaker 2: I saw this morning that somebody reported that was close.
Speaker 2: I don't know that that's a great hire for the record, uh,
Speaker 2: I mean, he's the Cowboys job there until the playoffs. Well,
Speaker 2: the enemy's not gonna get a job. It would appear
Speaker 2: like that's another discussion for another day. He wasn't even
Speaker 2: discussed in this cycle, like he wasn't even one of
Speaker 2: the people that was getting overlooked the I would love
Speaker 2: for I'd love for him to come back to the Chiefs.
Speaker 2: I don't know that he will. The reason I don't
Speaker 2: know that I love this for the Commanders is they
Speaker 2: have the number two pick of the draft. They're gonna
Speaker 2: draft either Drake may or Jaden Daniels. Ideally, I would
Speaker 2: like to marry him with an offensive coach instead. You're
Speaker 2: gonna have a scenario where dan Quinn hires an offensive coordinator.
Speaker 2: If it goes great, then that offensive coordinator will then
Speaker 2: get plucked away and then the quarterback is on you
Speaker 2: know what I mean? So here one of the so
Speaker 2: one of the secrets to the Patriot dynasty was Josh
Speaker 2: McDaniels was the offensive coordinator left did such a terrible
Speaker 2: job in Denver that once he got fired, no one
Speaker 2: wanted him as the head coach, and he eventually went
Speaker 2: back to New England and Brady got to just even
Speaker 2: though he had defensive coach have the same offensive mind
Speaker 2: with him for like another decade, because he wasn't getting
Speaker 2: any other head coaching jobs until the Raiders got desperate
Speaker 2: and gave him the job a couple of years ago,
Speaker 2: once Brady was already gone. So the Chiefs, by the way,
Speaker 2: have something similar on the other side they was talking
Speaker 2: about with Spagnolo. Andy hires Spagnolo. Spagnolo's head coaching tenure
Speaker 2: with the Rams was such a disaster, no one interviews
Speaker 2: him for head coaching jobs, and Andy can just turn
Speaker 2: the defense over to him. And while Andy could lose
Speaker 2: offensive coordinators because he's an offensive minded coach, he can
Speaker 2: then get more involved. I just the dan Quinn hire
Speaker 2: is uninspiring in my opinion. Oh, Matt Ford, I met
Speaker 2: God like a Commanders fan. Matt, you want to jump
Speaker 2: on the mic, Matt, how are you feeling, buddy, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: Like I assume he wanted Ben Johnson.
Speaker 3: He says, anytime you can hire the guy who gave
Speaker 3: up fifty who gave up fifty points to Jordan Love
Speaker 3: in a playoff game?
Speaker 2: You have to do it, yeah, I mean he's not
Speaker 2: coming off a great performance. There's I mean, there's no
Speaker 2: there's no question there. All right, demonse, let's play public defender.
Speaker 3: We are playing public defender, all right. So the Pro Bowl,
Speaker 3: the Pro Bowl alternates were announced and Gardner Minshew got
Speaker 3: selected in the AFC. Oh so you probably thought we
Speaker 3: were going to have you defend Gardner Minshew making the
Speaker 3: Pro Bowl. But that's not what we're having you do.
Speaker 3: You will be making the case for your favorite quarterback
Speaker 3: getting snubbed, counselor defend your client Josh Allen.
Speaker 2: So I don't think I have to defend him. I
Speaker 2: think Josh Allen opted out. I think the way the
Speaker 2: Pro Bowl alternates work is this, if they have to
Speaker 2: go to an alternate, they call a guy and say, hey,
Speaker 2: if you're named, will you go, And I think Josh
Speaker 2: said no, so then they had to go down further
Speaker 2: down the list. So here is I'm not actually gonna
Speaker 2: do a public defender on this just because I think
Speaker 2: it's obviously Josh was better this year than Gardner. It
Speaker 2: also was a weird spot where Josh was an MVP finalist, uh,
Speaker 2: but not a pro bowler. Uh. The and the so
Speaker 2: he was an MVP finalist over Tua, over Mahomes who.
Speaker 2: Again I'm not saying we're MVPs, but those guys were
Speaker 2: named the Pro Bowl, Josh wasn't.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: Here's would Tyler Hutley not have been worthy of that?
Speaker 4: Last year?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Last year a mac Jones a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2: So that that's how those guys end up getting getting in.
Speaker 2: But now that there's not an actual football game, I
Speaker 2: don't think we need alternates. I think you name the
Speaker 2: official roster and if guys don't go or don't show up,
Speaker 2: then you just adjust the little skills competitions on the fly.
Speaker 2: I don't think you need alternates. And because it screws
Speaker 2: up the history books when it's like this guy was
Speaker 2: a pro bowler and this guy wasn't, like the idea
Speaker 2: that by Pro Bowl Records Gardner Minshew had a better
Speaker 2: year this year than CJ. Stroud or Josh Allen and
Speaker 2: maybe CJ took someone else's spot. I'm not sure is
Speaker 2: crazy to me?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 2: Next?
Speaker 3: All right, So Kevin Durant returned to Brooklyn for the
Speaker 3: first time since being traded last night. Even Katie had said, quote,
Speaker 3: please don't do the night. We will be better off
Speaker 3: without it in quote. So of course the Nets did
Speaker 3: anyway to gimmembrate one epic runs of the Eastern Conference,
Speaker 3: simmis counselor defend your client, the Brooklyn Nets, or this
Speaker 3: very easy defense.
Speaker 2: In the modern NBA, everybody gets tribute videos. Kevin Durant is,
Speaker 2: in his short tenure, still one of the greatest players
Speaker 2: in the history of our franchise. We don't have posts
Speaker 2: since we've been to Brooklyn around two. Game seven of
Speaker 2: a round two is the furthest we've ever been in
Speaker 2: the playoffs. Katie was awesome for us here it didn't
Speaker 2: end great. And here's the other thing that I will
Speaker 2: say to defend my client, the Brooklyn Nets. We have
Speaker 2: a sneaking suspicion that had there been an announcement before
Speaker 2: Kevin said anything that we were not doing a tribute video,
Speaker 2: he would have been pissed. So he can go ahead
Speaker 2: and say, don't do it. I don't need it.
Speaker 4: What out see?
Speaker 3: Why do we counselor sorry, why do we care about
Speaker 3: Katie being pissed if he demanded a trade out of Brooklyn.
Speaker 4: Why do we care about this guy for you?
Speaker 2: That's no I understand that, But my point is far
Speaker 2: lesser players have gotten tribute videos. I don't know when
Speaker 2: we jumped the shark on tribute videos, but now it means, really,
Speaker 2: did you ever play for us and have any meaning?
Speaker 2: We're gonna give you a tribute video? And so that's
Speaker 2: just the hold on. Let me see if I can
Speaker 2: find the example saddest NBA tribute video, saddest, the well
Speaker 2: so sad as maybe the hold on worst player.
Speaker 3: Two goo's he didn't get it on YouTube?
Speaker 2: Honestly, all right, Reddit might have an answer here. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 2: so the Nets did one for Blake Griffin. Think about that.
Speaker 2: The Nets did a tribute video for Blake Griffin. Oh,
Speaker 2: I've got a better one. The Cavs did one for
Speaker 2: little Isaiah Thomas, who was on the team for fifty
Speaker 2: games before Lebron had him ship. Doubt that not. The
Speaker 2: Celtics Demanse the Calves did it, and so the people.
Speaker 2: The Norris Cole got one with the Heat. Now he
Speaker 2: did win titles with the Heat.
Speaker 3: That might have been the worst one. You listed to
Speaker 3: be honest. But yeah, but they at least actually.
Speaker 2: Did. I think the Lakers gave Taylor Horton Tucker a
Speaker 2: tribute video.
Speaker 3: This is my point, man, everybody leaves has a mural
Speaker 3: out here in La right now.
Speaker 2: Oh so uh oh, the Hawks gave Dwight Howard a
Speaker 2: tribute video.
Speaker 4: That's crazy.
Speaker 2: Do you even remember Dwight Howard playing for the Hawks.
Speaker 2: Let me see how many games he played for the Hawks.
Speaker 2: Dwight played. I'm trying to pull it up right now.
Speaker 2: Dwight played seventy four games one season with the Hawks.
Speaker 2: Given tribute video. So this's my point. Everybody gets them
Speaker 2: all right, next?
Speaker 3: Okay, yesterday, Mavericks Heads coach Jason Kidds said, Lucas past
Speaker 3: Dirk and is as the best player in the mass
Speaker 3: franchise history and now is in the realm of Michael
Speaker 3: Jordan and Lebron James counselor defend your client, Jason kidd.
Speaker 2: This is an open and shutcase of a man desperately
Speaker 2: trying to make sure Lucas stays that Luca is approaching
Speaker 2: pre agency, as Simmons has dubbed it, pre free agency
Speaker 2: the MAVs. You know, my employer. The MAVs have not
Speaker 2: done a great job building a team around him. Luca's
Speaker 2: averaged forty twelve and twelve the last few weeks, and
Speaker 2: we're still barely hanging on to a playoff spot. And
Speaker 2: I need to throw as many flowers his way as
Speaker 2: possible because we're terrified that he is eventually going to
Speaker 2: demand a trade. Obviously, he is not in the realm
Speaker 2: of Michael or Lebron, and obviously he is not yet
Speaker 2: past Dirk for the best player in MAVs history. Now,
Speaker 2: what I will say is, Luca is building a case
Speaker 2: in all seriousness demands. I'm I'm curious what your immediate
Speaker 2: reaction is going to be. Luca is building a case
Speaker 2: that he is one of how do I put it,
Speaker 2: on track to be one of the three greatest offensive
Speaker 2: players ever. He is building that case, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean? That just on and not scoring and creating,
Speaker 2: because his assist numbers are crazy and is all and
Speaker 2: so he is not improved enough defensively to ever get
Speaker 2: in the fort but the yeah, but I mean even
Speaker 2: the even the top ten all time, He's going to
Speaker 2: have to the worst defender in the all time pantheon,
Speaker 2: like top twelve fourteen guys. The worst two defenders are
Speaker 2: Magic and Steph and I get by the way, similar size,
Speaker 2: all that stuff. But Magic went to nine finals and
Speaker 2: won five rings like that. You know that's gonna be. Uh,
Speaker 2: that's gonna be and one four league MVPs like that
Speaker 2: or three league MVPs. That's gonna be a tough one
Speaker 2: for Luca. Uh. But yeah, Jason Kidds just trying to
Speaker 2: make sure Lucas stays all right.
Speaker 3: Next, the NBA is coming under fire for their sixty
Speaker 3: five game requirement to be eligible for awards.
Speaker 4: Like MVP in all NBA.
Speaker 3: Now players like Embiide of course and Tyrese Helliberden are
Speaker 3: likely to miss out on clam claiming those awards due
Speaker 3: to injuries. Counselor defend your client the NBA.
Speaker 2: Uh, my client in the NBA fell victim to something
Speaker 2: we often do, the old unintended consequences. The old heart
Speaker 2: was in the right place, but didn't necessarily see some
Speaker 2: of the unintended consequences of this. Also, my client in
Speaker 2: the NBA would like to stand by the sixty five
Speaker 2: game requirement for League MVP.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: That's legitimate, and if you look at NBA history, the
Speaker 2: vast majority of MVPs played more than seventy games sixty
Speaker 2: five shouldn't have been a problem up until recently. The
Speaker 2: All NBA stuff is trickier because of the money associated
Speaker 2: with it. So demand's a Tyrese Halliburton has a contract
Speaker 2: that is going to so it's a five year, two
Speaker 2: hundred million dollars deal that becomes a five year, two
Speaker 2: hundred and five forty million dollar deal if he makes
Speaker 2: the All NBA team this year. So the fact that
Speaker 2: he's played up to that level but might not make
Speaker 2: it because he's not going to meet the games restriction,
Speaker 2: that's brutal and something the NBA should have anticipated and
Speaker 2: maybe created a workaround for because they're not load managing him.
Speaker 2: He got hurt, but he's been.
Speaker 3: Awesome, so they should be some type again, right, because
Speaker 3: like they just incorporated that, right.
Speaker 4: I feel like with that.
Speaker 3: Just being yes being put in that they'll create some
Speaker 3: type of structure to make it to where guys, we'll
Speaker 3: get some type of pass for that because Hylburton obvious.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so they they they kind of maybe took uh,
Speaker 2: you know, a sledgehammer where you needed a scalpel With
Speaker 2: all that said, the load management stuff is it's such
Speaker 2: a disaster for the league and they need to find
Speaker 2: a way to get their arms around it. I don't
Speaker 2: think they've gotten it exactly right yet. All Right, we're
Speaker 2: gonna keep doing our tattoo giveaway. I'm gonna remind everyone
Speaker 2: about that, and we're going to answer some of your
Speaker 2: listener questions. We'll do that next What's Right. All right,
Speaker 2: welcome back in What's Driving the Right Episode two thirteen. Again,
Speaker 2: we're doing something we've never done before. We're doing a giveaway.
Speaker 2: You can get a temporary never a Doubt tattoo if
Speaker 2: you're you know, believe in the Chiefs for this Super
Speaker 2: Bowl against the Niners. All you gotta do is tweet
Speaker 2: at What's Right show, include the ashtag never a Doubt
Speaker 2: and why you believe in the Kansaity Chiefs for the
Speaker 2: Super Bowl against the Niners. We have your dms open,
Speaker 2: we'll pick some of our favorites. We'll send them out
Speaker 2: to you guys before the Super Bowl, and then also
Speaker 2: if you're in the New York area, we'll do maybe
Speaker 2: a giveaway here at Trentage and maybe we can set
Speaker 2: something up with demanse for the people out on the
Speaker 2: West coast. Mike Brand says, never dow the Chiefs when
Speaker 2: you have potentially greyst player ever plays most important position
Speaker 2: bet the farm and him every time Cherry on tops
Speaker 2: having two goats at their position with Kelsey and Reid
Speaker 2: love it. So that's a good tweet from Mike Branch,
Speaker 2: lifelong BattleHawks fans, says defense looked amazing all year. It
Speaker 2: was clear reading Mahomes figured out how to make this
Speaker 2: at least a competent offense by January. That is exactly right,
Speaker 2: and it's why I believe in them all year.
Speaker 4: Baby.
Speaker 2: And someone that I can't see, because there we go.
Speaker 2: Ryan Hodges has been riding since day one, and my
Speaker 2: Marcus Allen Jersey, all right, he definitely should get one.
Speaker 4: I like that.
Speaker 2: Good job by him. All right, demons, let's read some
Speaker 2: listener questions before we wrap up the show.
Speaker 3: Mkill Clinton's asking the good stuff, Nikhill, Clinton, francis no disrespect,
Speaker 3: he said, Nick, are you concerned that Andy, Reid and
Speaker 3: Mahomes aren't gonna have more than ten years together to
Speaker 3: run the dynasty like Belichick and Brady did.
Speaker 4: Heat So.
Speaker 2: Here's the thing, I'm not concerned. There's been a Andy
Speaker 2: Reid retirement rumors floated repeatedly by Florio and then all
Speaker 2: I saw that the other day, people were like, oh,
Speaker 2: someone else has chimed in, and it was Michelle Tafoya.
Speaker 2: What that, guys, I'm here to tell you that the
Speaker 2: idea that Michelle Tafoya would have insight on what Andy
Speaker 2: Reid er Patrick Mahomes is doing. I mean, I say
Speaker 2: this with I guess a modicum of respect, but if
Speaker 2: it's not some moral panic about what books are available
Speaker 2: in your kid's school library, Michelle Tafoya is not your
Speaker 2: go to source on anything these days, all right, And
Speaker 2: then so I just I don't think Andy is retiring.
Speaker 2: And if you remember, when Mahomes agreed to the ten
Speaker 2: year contract, he said that Andy told him he would
Speaker 2: stay as long as the contract. Now, I don't know
Speaker 2: if Patrick's gonna keep Andy to that, but Patrick's got
Speaker 2: nine years left on the deal or eight years left
Speaker 2: on the deal. And so I the I'm not worried
Speaker 2: about any of the key pieces leaving. Well, that's not true.
Speaker 2: Chris Jones could leave, So I'm not worried about Travis.
Speaker 2: I'm not worried about Travis leaving. So I'll tell you why. Well,
Speaker 2: maybe just one. But so the Chris Jones could leave
Speaker 2: in free agency and Lugarious Sneid could leave in free agency,
Speaker 2: it would be shocking if the Chiefs could bring him
Speaker 2: both back. I love both those players, Love both those players.
Speaker 2: Chris has been the best defensive player since Derek Thomas
Speaker 2: for the Kansas City Chiefs, and Snead's one of the
Speaker 2: best draft picks of this era, fourth round pick, turning
Speaker 2: into maybe the best corner in football. Snead also has
Speaker 2: had a life full of tragedy. I mean, the if
Speaker 2: people go back and read about Sneid, there was I yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean it's public record. But Lagarius Snead, there was
Speaker 2: an article written about him about three years ago, two
Speaker 2: and a half years ago about how so many members
Speaker 2: of his family died early or were murdered. And in
Speaker 2: that article he talks about how his brother basically led
Speaker 2: him through this and got you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: looked over him, helped him all of it. And like
Speaker 2: two months after that article came out, that brother was killed.
Speaker 2: So Snead has had a very very rough go of it.
Speaker 2: Has not made real money in the league. I mean,
Speaker 2: he's been I understand it's all relative, but he's played
Speaker 2: in the NFL for four years. He's made just under
Speaker 2: four million dollars. So I hope Lagarius Snead gets every
Speaker 2: dollar he possibly can get and can help set up
Speaker 2: who you know what I mean. And so those guys
Speaker 2: might be gone, and he's not going anywhere, and Travis
Speaker 2: is having too much fun, is still too good in
Speaker 2: the playoffs. And here's the other thing. I think Taylor
Speaker 2: loves going to these games too much. I think that
Speaker 2: Taylor is being like Taylor is not fake supporting Travis
Speaker 2: at these games. This is Wilde's take, but it is
Speaker 2: the right take. Wild's take is life is high school,
Speaker 2: and in high school, Taylor Swift was the band girl
Speaker 2: that the jocks didn't pay any attention to. And now
Speaker 2: she's dating the star of the football team and having
Speaker 2: the time of her life. And so the well, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: the co star of the football team. And so this
Speaker 2: idea that, oh, Travis is gonna retire because of the
Speaker 2: I think the only reason people think Travis might retire
Speaker 2: is because he's so famous now and has so many
Speaker 2: other opportunities. Because of the Taylor Swift relationship. I think
Speaker 2: Taylor loves it, and so I don't think he's retiring.
Speaker 2: I just don't. I mean, he has said he's not retiring.
Speaker 2: After the game, he said to Mahomes, I could do
Speaker 2: this another eleven years. That obviously isn't true. But he's
Speaker 2: too good still, right.
Speaker 3: I wasn't saying because of just fame got too rich.
Speaker 3: I was just saying, like, how much longer can he
Speaker 3: do it? She's like physically, yeah, I mean.
Speaker 2: Giving him the first couple months of next season off.
Speaker 2: Here's the other thing, though, demanse, if they win Sunday,
Speaker 2: they have a chance to be the greatest team ever. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because no team is ever threepeeded, and so that if
Speaker 2: they win Sunday, I wonder yeah, And but I also
Speaker 2: wonder if that makes Chris Jones more likely to come back,
Speaker 2: if they can work something out where it's like, guys, rue,
Speaker 2: we can you know what I mean? The like, Chris
Speaker 2: now is not a lock Hall of famer. He's not.
Speaker 2: I don't even think right now he is a likely
Speaker 2: Hall of famer because he doesn't have the individual accolades
Speaker 2: yet he only has a couple all pros, you know,
Speaker 2: it's a tough position. The Yeah, he only has two
Speaker 2: All pros. Well, he only has two first team All Pros.
Speaker 2: He does have three second team All Pros. So maybe
Speaker 2: he is a Hall of Famer. I'm not sure. But
Speaker 2: if he is the star of a defense, that three
Speaker 2: peats changes a lot of things. So we'll see.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but go ahead.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry to.
Speaker 3: No, so I'll just go into the next question. Yeah,
Speaker 3: oh yeah, sorry. Brandon Thompson says Vandy Reid did retire.
Speaker 3: Who would be your ideal head coach coach that you
Speaker 3: want to have coaching?
Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 2: So if I would be absolutely fine with this setup,
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick, you can come be the head coach of
Speaker 2: the Chiefs. You can maybe pass Brady in Super Bowls.
Speaker 2: You can get Shula's record. However, you need to bring
Speaker 2: in to run the offense, Eric b Enemy, and the
Speaker 2: enemy can be the potential coach in waiting. You have
Speaker 2: to keep Steve Spagnolo running the defense, and Brett Beach
Speaker 2: has to keep running the team. You are the head
Speaker 2: coach and head coach alone. If that couldn't happen, then
Speaker 2: I would hire the enemy. I well, I would talk
Speaker 2: to Mike Vrabel, but I would hire the enemy, and
Speaker 2: I would say, you have a relationship with everyone. Patrick's
Speaker 2: gonna help Spags is gonna run the defense, and we'll
Speaker 2: let you do it all right.
Speaker 3: Next, Andrew Simpson says, Hey, Nick, hypothetical, I would love
Speaker 3: to hear you talk about Fields to Miami for first
Speaker 3: and Tua to Vikings. Give h McDaniels a higher ceiling
Speaker 3: quarterback and gets the Vikings and out for Cousins, who says, no, all.
Speaker 2: Right, well, listen, nobody's trading a first round or for Fields.
Speaker 2: You might be able to get a good too. I
Speaker 2: don't think you're gonna get a first I also think
Speaker 2: Miami is gonna run it back with Tua, just not
Speaker 2: give him a contract. I think that their situation is
Speaker 2: that we thought this year was gonna be the year
Speaker 2: or two, you know, proved whether or not he was
Speaker 2: worth the contract. I think they're gonna let him play
Speaker 2: out his fifty year option and see I don't think
Speaker 2: also there's a great market for him in the trade market.
Speaker 2: And if you're in Minnesota, you kind of already had
Speaker 2: the good but not great limited quarterback. And I think
Speaker 2: they're gonna bring back Kirk I think the only hope
Speaker 2: for Kirk being so nowhere else was if the Niners
Speaker 2: fell totally flat in the playoffs and Shanahan, who's always
Speaker 2: wanted Kirk winning, got him. But that's not what happened here,
Speaker 2: all right.
Speaker 3: Next, this name confused me. Originally thought it was Marcus
Speaker 3: Valdez Scanling, but Marcus Valdez as me. Does Josh Allen
Speaker 3: deserve more credit for his game versus Kansas City considering
Speaker 3: Lamar's performance being far worse.
Speaker 2: Well, I here's what I will say. I do think
Speaker 2: Lamar's performance against Kansas City put Josh back in the
Speaker 2: pole position to be considered the second best quarterback in football.
Speaker 2: I think that the fact that Tua did nothing against
Speaker 2: this Chiefs defense, Baltimore did nothing against this Chiefs defense,
Speaker 2: and Josh had a decent game with obviously some mistakes,
Speaker 2: but a decent game I didn't get put him back
Speaker 2: in the pole position at least until we see Burrow
Speaker 2: back healthy. All Right, I gotta go, gotta go to
Speaker 2: do TV. Demon's keep healing up. Great job today, Great
Speaker 2: job by the Blue Duck folks. Sorry for producer Matt
Speaker 2: and the Commanders, but maybe Dan Quinn will be great.
Speaker 2: This time he did get to a Super Bowl as
Speaker 2: a head coach. Don't forget that with Atlanta they did,
Speaker 2: of course obviously blow it. I will talk to you
Speaker 2: guys on first things first today at three o'clock. Don't forget.
