0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:44.839
<v Speaker 2>All Right, welcome man, Episode one ninety one. What's right

0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:47.600
<v Speaker 2>with Nick Wright? Apologies for the people watching live on

0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:50.920
<v Speaker 2>YouTube this morning for the substantial delay. We had a

0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:54.920
<v Speaker 2>slight internet issue here at Trentadge in Harlem. It has

0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:58.200
<v Speaker 2>been since been worked out. But because of that, and

0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:01.040
<v Speaker 2>I know I promised this five out of shows and

0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:03.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't always deliver it, we are gonna try to

0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:07.600
<v Speaker 2>have a nice, clean, tight, efficient show today. We will

0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:09.920
<v Speaker 2>get to all of that. Also, it sounds like Demonse

0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:12.640
<v Speaker 2>might need his headphones lowered a bit. While you guys

0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:15.280
<v Speaker 2>do that, I will tell you all what missed the cut.

0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:19.200
<v Speaker 2>Here's what is not on today's show. Daniel Jones maybe

0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:20.960
<v Speaker 2>out for the well it is out for the year,

0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:24.039
<v Speaker 2>and might have played his last snap with the New

0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:27.959
<v Speaker 2>York Giants. The Celtics suffer their first loss thanks to

0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:33.000
<v Speaker 2>the incandescent Anthony Edwards and Nikoli Jokic passes Lebron James

0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:37.000
<v Speaker 2>in all time triple doubles. Demonse, where we must begin, though,

0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:39.319
<v Speaker 2>is with a football game that if you were on

0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:42.200
<v Speaker 2>the West Coast you probably didn't see. But if you weren't,

0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:46.560
<v Speaker 2>you missed a heck of a performance from arguably the

0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:50.480
<v Speaker 2>best defense in the NFL, the Kansas City Chiefs.

0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:54.160
<v Speaker 3>Demonse, go right ahead, doesn't matter what the Chiefs are, man,

0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:57.120
<v Speaker 3>they're gonna get the dub. So the candle business over

0:01:57.160 --> 0:02:01.160
<v Speaker 3>the Dolphins twenty one to fourteen. Everybody's saying, the bigger

0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:04.600
<v Speaker 3>problem is how the Dolphins is how the Dolphins can't

0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:08.160
<v Speaker 3>seem to beat really good teams. Every team they've beaten

0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:12.160
<v Speaker 3>is below five hundred and quite yep, far below five hundred. Actually,

0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:15.639
<v Speaker 3>would you rather defending champs get their roses? Or is

0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:17.840
<v Speaker 3>it better for the doubt and bulletin board material to

0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:18.560
<v Speaker 3>keep flowing.

0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:22.519
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So all I answer that I know Demonte I

0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:24.359
<v Speaker 2>think is having some ear piece issues, but I think

0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:27.600
<v Speaker 2>we'll get that figured out. While I answer hopefully here

0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:36.600
<v Speaker 2>is I understand. Folks are now have adjusted what is

0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:41.600
<v Speaker 2>expected of the Chiefs to away to where they flatly

0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:46.960
<v Speaker 2>will not accept them being a different type of great

0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:52.240
<v Speaker 2>football team that despite the fact that only one team

0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:54.520
<v Speaker 2>in the league has a better record, despite the fact

0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:58.120
<v Speaker 2>that they're the one seed because and despite the fact

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:02.360
<v Speaker 2>that they were or they won the Super Bowl last

0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:07.680
<v Speaker 2>year with this exact offense, with the exception of Juju

0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:10.919
<v Speaker 2>Smith Schuster was on the team last year and Rashi

0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:16.519
<v Speaker 2>Rice was not, people are convincing themselves there is something

0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:20.200
<v Speaker 2>deeply wrong with the Chiefs. If they are not high flying,

0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:24.440
<v Speaker 2>if they are not a dynamic, dynamite offense, which up

0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:26.880
<v Speaker 2>to this point they have not been. There is no

0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:29.960
<v Speaker 2>denying the fact that up to this point what the

0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:36.160
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs have been is an above average offense. Number four

0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:39.120
<v Speaker 2>in the offense in the NFL in yards per game,

0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:42.320
<v Speaker 2>number twelve in the offense in points per game, or

0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 2>in the NFL in points per game. So you know,

0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:49.320
<v Speaker 2>a fringe top ten offense firmly in the top ten yards,

0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:52.960
<v Speaker 2>just outside the top ten in points, and a dominant

0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:56.840
<v Speaker 2>defense that just held the Miami Dolphins in Tua Tongue

0:03:56.840 --> 0:04:01.040
<v Speaker 2>of Ailoa to fourteen points, had Tiekill have his worst

0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:05.240
<v Speaker 2>game in more than a year, and folks simply don't

0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:09.680
<v Speaker 2>want that to be how the Chiefs win games. But

0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:13.520
<v Speaker 2>the question I posed to everyone on first things first,

0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:17.080
<v Speaker 2>and I will pose to the audience right now, is

0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:22.040
<v Speaker 2>the following, do you think Patrick Mahomes is an all

0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:25.200
<v Speaker 2>time great quarterback? I think everyone is going to say

0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:27.760
<v Speaker 2>yes to that. Now, I'm not gonna ask the next

0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:30.640
<v Speaker 2>question that you think I'm gonna ask. I am now

0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:36.040
<v Speaker 2>gonna say, replace Patrick Mahomes in your mind's eye with

0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:42.200
<v Speaker 2>any other all time great quarterback in his prime. Any

0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:46.599
<v Speaker 2>other one. Pick Peyton, pick Brady, pick Rogers in his prime,

0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:50.840
<v Speaker 2>pick Marino, pick any of the other guys that are

0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:57.039
<v Speaker 2>in the Patrick Mahomes echelon, and ask yourselves this, If

0:04:57.080 --> 0:05:01.480
<v Speaker 2>that quarterback in hit the pro time of his career,

0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:09.920
<v Speaker 2>had a consensus top three defense and a consensus top

0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:14.560
<v Speaker 2>three head coach, would that team be head and Shoulders

0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:18.719
<v Speaker 2>clearly the scariest team and the best team in the league.

0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:24.279
<v Speaker 2>If you took Apex Peyton Manning and gave him a

0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:26.960
<v Speaker 2>top three defense and a coach you love, would that

0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:30.240
<v Speaker 2>be the scariest team in the league? Tom Brady with

0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:32.679
<v Speaker 2>a top three defense and a coach you love, would

0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:37.000
<v Speaker 2>that automatically be the scariest team in the league? If

0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:39.840
<v Speaker 2>you then add to it that they were the defending

0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:44.800
<v Speaker 2>champions and their seven and two with one bad game,

0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:49.720
<v Speaker 2>one bad loss all year, with the tiebreaker over one

0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:54.880
<v Speaker 2>divisional leader in Jacksonville, just got the tiebreaker over another

0:05:54.920 --> 0:06:00.559
<v Speaker 2>divisional leader Miami. What would we be talking about now?

0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:03.880
<v Speaker 2>You might say, well, that doesn't guarantee you're gonna win

0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:05.880
<v Speaker 2>the Super Bowl. Of course, winning Super Bowl is hard.

0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:11.520
<v Speaker 2>Single elimination postseasons are difficult on all fronts. But is

0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:16.400
<v Speaker 2>it not correct for me to say there has been

0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:22.520
<v Speaker 2>a wildly disproportionate amount of what is wrong with the

0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:28.680
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs for a team that every single team in the

0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:33.560
<v Speaker 2>league from a raw record perspective would trade places with

0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:39.600
<v Speaker 2>the Chiefs except for Philly, and from a holistic perspective,

0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:43.800
<v Speaker 2>every team in the league. If you could trade quarterbacks,

0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:45.720
<v Speaker 2>would you trade with the Chiefs? Of course you would.

0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:48.520
<v Speaker 2>Every team in the league. If you could trade coaches,

0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:51.000
<v Speaker 2>would you trade with the Chiefs? At least twenty nine

0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:56.320
<v Speaker 2>of them would, and every team in the league if

0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:59.000
<v Speaker 2>you could trade defenses with the Chiefs, would you twenty

0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:01.520
<v Speaker 2>eight of them would? So what are we talking about?

0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:07.000
<v Speaker 2>So is it that I and this just unrepentant Kansas

0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:10.920
<v Speaker 2>City homer? I won't recognize this is clearly a flawed

0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:15.360
<v Speaker 2>damage team? Or am I the only one seeing this

0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:16.800
<v Speaker 2>clearly go ahead demands?

0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:19.200
<v Speaker 3>It looks like I want to say, I think maybe

0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:21.600
<v Speaker 3>the problem is the Chiefs aren't as dominant as you

0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:26.360
<v Speaker 3>may describe. You're always talking about how the Chiefs never

0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:29.240
<v Speaker 3>blow anybody out. Why is that? Why is it that

0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:32.440
<v Speaker 3>they never blow anybody out? They're always playing games, But

0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:34.640
<v Speaker 3>other teams have the ability to blow these teams out

0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:38.400
<v Speaker 3>of the water. So that I mean, in Week one

0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:41.400
<v Speaker 3>they lost to them, and then you know, I consider it.

0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:43.440
<v Speaker 3>I mean, that's not a bad loss. Lines are rolling,

0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:45.440
<v Speaker 3>but like when you look at what other teams have

0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:47.600
<v Speaker 3>done to them, it's just like it's crazy when you

0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:48.480
<v Speaker 3>put two and two together.

0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:53.160
<v Speaker 2>No, so listen, the Chiefs, I guess from a style

0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:57.080
<v Speaker 2>points perspective, I know that they don't blow people out,

0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:59.280
<v Speaker 2>except for, of course, when they do so, they blow

0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:01.960
<v Speaker 2>out the Chargers, they blew out the Bears those games.

0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:06.320
<v Speaker 2>You know, we're just gonna we're This is another thing

0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:08.200
<v Speaker 2>we do where it's like, well, if you take out

0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:10.640
<v Speaker 2>the times the offense has look great, the offense hasn't

0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:13.800
<v Speaker 2>looked great. Well, yeah, I agree with that. And if

0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:17.000
<v Speaker 2>you take out the wins, they've only lost, and so yes,

0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:21.960
<v Speaker 2>the Ravens. The Ravens in the last three weeks have

0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:25.680
<v Speaker 2>two wins the likes of which the Chiefs don't have.

0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:32.679
<v Speaker 2>A blowout victory, a blowout, dominant victory over two good teams,

0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:36.200
<v Speaker 2>maybe not great teams in Detroit and Seattle, but two

0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:40.600
<v Speaker 2>good teams. But in the interim of that, what the

0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:44.720
<v Speaker 2>Ravens have is two bad losses. The Chiefs have won

0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:49.800
<v Speaker 2>a closer than you would have liked game the well,

0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:51.920
<v Speaker 2>you know what, I can't call the Cardinals game closer

0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:53.560
<v Speaker 2>than you would have liked. It ended up closer than

0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:55.480
<v Speaker 2>you would have liked, but it wasn't actually close. The

0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:59.680
<v Speaker 2>Ravens dominated that game. Right now this moment, if you

0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:03.040
<v Speaker 2>had if none of us had ever seen the NFL,

0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:07.080
<v Speaker 2>we would definitely say they If we didn't had no

0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:10.160
<v Speaker 2>context of history that the Ravens have a very strong

0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:14.400
<v Speaker 2>argument that they're the best team. I get that, But

0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:17.920
<v Speaker 2>because we have and because right now the Ravens have

0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:20.520
<v Speaker 2>the number one scoring defense and then the Chiefs are

0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:22.920
<v Speaker 2>right there with the number two scoring defense. So you

0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:27.280
<v Speaker 2>call the defense as a wash, it's not ridiculous to

0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:30.880
<v Speaker 2>say that. Well, on one hand, you have a guy

0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:35.680
<v Speaker 2>who is building a resume. Well, if we're talking about

0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:38.440
<v Speaker 2>what they're going to look like in the postseason, Lamar

0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:42.280
<v Speaker 2>Jackson's biggest question mark of his career is his postseason performance.

0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:47.120
<v Speaker 2>He's won one playoff game ever in we have seen

0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:51.360
<v Speaker 2>Lamar be dominant in regular seasons throughout his career and

0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:54.120
<v Speaker 2>then either be hurt for the postseason or play poorly

0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:57.160
<v Speaker 2>in the postseason. And the opposite's the case with Kansas City.

0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:01.800
<v Speaker 2>But I'm not even asking that everyone acknowledged what I

0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:06.240
<v Speaker 2>think is so clearly true that the Chiefs check every

0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:10.880
<v Speaker 2>box you would want of the Super Bowl favorite, the

0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:14.400
<v Speaker 2>best coach, the best quarterback, a dominant defense, now a

0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:17.760
<v Speaker 2>nick but they they don't have the skill position. Guys, Well,

0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:19.920
<v Speaker 2>you're not going to have a perfect football team. You

0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:23.400
<v Speaker 2>are making tradeoffs, and you saw it on Sunday. The

0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:26.760
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs traded Tyreek Hill for draft picks. They used one

0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:29.320
<v Speaker 2>of those draft picks on Trent mcduffee. Tyreek Hill and

0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:33.120
<v Speaker 2>trmp mcduffee literally ran into each other and Trent mcduffee

0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:35.040
<v Speaker 2>ripped the ball out of his hands. And they won

0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.439
<v Speaker 2>the game because of it. And people are still like, ah,

0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:41.679
<v Speaker 2>they missed Tyreek Hill. Yes, this team with Tyreek Hill

0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:45.040
<v Speaker 2>would be better, But would this team be better with

0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:49.000
<v Speaker 2>Tyreek Hill without Trimp McDuffie, without the other draft picks

0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:51.640
<v Speaker 2>they were able to make because of that trade, without

0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:55.920
<v Speaker 2>the cap the salary cap space they were able to

0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:58.200
<v Speaker 2>acquire because of that trade. I don't agree. I don't

0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:03.560
<v Speaker 2>believe that. And there is also, and this is the

0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:06.600
<v Speaker 2>part that is simply baffling to me, the proof of

0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:10.600
<v Speaker 2>concept of they not only do they win the Super Bowl,

0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:13.640
<v Speaker 2>they won the Super Bowl by scoring thirty eight points

0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:15.520
<v Speaker 2>of being the highest scoring team in the NFL last

0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:21.760
<v Speaker 2>year without Tyreek Hill. And so I there has been

0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:26.199
<v Speaker 2>so much hand ringing about what's wrong with the Chiefs

0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:30.600
<v Speaker 2>and the answer is nothing. So the answer is, go ahead.

0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:35.400
<v Speaker 3>You guys aren't like you guys aren't hurting for Tyreek kill,

0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:40.120
<v Speaker 3>but you could use Tyreek h Tyrek kill would be yeah,

0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:43.800
<v Speaker 3>everything you say that you guys all missed him, but

0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:46.800
<v Speaker 3>like kind of like you guys kind of do like

0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:48.960
<v Speaker 3>as far as like the production that you get from

0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:49.679
<v Speaker 3>the receivers.

0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:53.280
<v Speaker 2>But you this is okay, here's the point that I

0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:57.040
<v Speaker 2>am making. Demon's I'm gonna use. I'm just gonna make

0:11:57.200 --> 0:12:00.199
<v Speaker 2>use a bad analogy, but I'm going to use it. Okay.

0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:04.679
<v Speaker 2>Let's say you had a really fancy, nice computer, okay,

0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:09.280
<v Speaker 2>and you traded it to someone for an electric bicycle

0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:12.400
<v Speaker 2>because you needed a way to get to work. And

0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:14.040
<v Speaker 2>now you have a way to get to work and

0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:17.520
<v Speaker 2>you're using it, but you don't have the computer. You

0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:20.800
<v Speaker 2>missed the computer. You wish you had it, but you

0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:24.880
<v Speaker 2>decided to get rid of it for something you needed more.

0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:28.959
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, you have with some money, you

0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:32.960
<v Speaker 2>got the electric bicycle and one thousand bucks, and with

0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:35.959
<v Speaker 2>that thousand bucks you bought a couch. So you're sitting

0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:39.000
<v Speaker 2>on your couch missing your computer, but you get to

0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:42.640
<v Speaker 2>and from work with your bike. This idea. Every time

0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:45.880
<v Speaker 2>you make a trade, you are giving up something of

0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:49.400
<v Speaker 2>value to get something of value back. But since they

0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:52.880
<v Speaker 2>made that trade, there has been one Super Bowl played,

0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:56.559
<v Speaker 2>they won it. There's been one full season played. They

0:12:56.559 --> 0:13:00.199
<v Speaker 2>had the highest scoring offense in the league, their quarterback

0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:04.920
<v Speaker 2>one league MVP. And this year what you are seeing

0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:09.000
<v Speaker 2>is the fruits of with that trade. We drafted a

0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:11.960
<v Speaker 2>bunch of defensive players and we have the best defense

0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:16.199
<v Speaker 2>in the history of the team. And people are still like, well,

0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:19.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if they should have done it. I don't.

0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:25.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm just baffled by it. I'm and I don't actually

0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:28.400
<v Speaker 2>think here's the last point. I don't think people actually

0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:34.120
<v Speaker 2>believe it. I don't think people. I think people want

0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:39.000
<v Speaker 2>the Chiefs to have to win shootouts, and seeing them

0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:43.200
<v Speaker 2>be able to win games when the offense isn't clicking

0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:48.320
<v Speaker 2>is so a weird and be scary. They're trying to

0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:51.600
<v Speaker 2>speak and to exist in some major issue. But I'm

0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:56.360
<v Speaker 2>just asking what team in the league wouldn't trade places

0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:59.640
<v Speaker 2>with Kansas City And you can say Philly, but I

0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:04.120
<v Speaker 2>and Philly, by the way, has been they have handled

0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:06.280
<v Speaker 2>their business this year, and they've handled their business a

0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:10.200
<v Speaker 2>game better than Kansas City has. And you know what,

0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:12.439
<v Speaker 2>I'll ask it another way. I'm gonna ask it one

0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:17.599
<v Speaker 2>other way and then we'll move on when the playoffs

0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:23.840
<v Speaker 2>roll around. No matter who the Chiefs are playing, if

0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:27.040
<v Speaker 2>their next round opponent is set. So if the Chiefs

0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:30.240
<v Speaker 2>are playing the final game of divisional round weekend or

0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:33.880
<v Speaker 2>the final game of conference championship weekend, okay, and the

0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:36.960
<v Speaker 2>other teams are set, and all these other teams are like,

0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:39.920
<v Speaker 2>all right, We're on to the next round. No matter

0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:44.200
<v Speaker 2>who the Chiefs are playing. Are those other teams rooting

0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:47.160
<v Speaker 2>for the Chiefs to win or the other team to win?

0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:51.800
<v Speaker 2>If the Ravens have advanced to the conference championship game

0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:54.240
<v Speaker 2>and it's Chiefs Bengals, who are the Ravens rooting for?

0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:57.440
<v Speaker 2>They want to play the Chiefs and this flawed offense.

0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:00.840
<v Speaker 2>If the Eagles or the Niners or the or the

0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:04.200
<v Speaker 2>Lions have made the Super Bowl and it's Chiefs Ravens

0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:07.640
<v Speaker 2>in the conference championship game, who is the other team

0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:10.800
<v Speaker 2>rooting for? Because that's who they would They're like, oh,

0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:15.160
<v Speaker 2>give us the Chiefs. Of course, not every team in

0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:18.080
<v Speaker 2>the league is hoping the Chiefs get upset because they're

0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:21.600
<v Speaker 2>the scariest team in the league to face. That's undeniable.

0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:24.640
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's talk Eagles. Now go ahead, all right.

0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:26.840
<v Speaker 3>The Eagles proved again who's the top dog in the

0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:30.560
<v Speaker 3>NFC with their win over Dallas. Defense obviously had some

0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:34.280
<v Speaker 3>problems in Jalen Hurts looks a little hurt. Are things

0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:37.240
<v Speaker 3>are as sunny in Philadelphia as they seem right now?

0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:44.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, listen, Jalen is hurt. And I thought he was good,

0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:48.320
<v Speaker 2>not great in that game. But because he was injured,

0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:51.760
<v Speaker 2>you give him a great grade because he fought through it.

0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:58.480
<v Speaker 2>And I think Philly is an imperfect team, not because

0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:02.600
<v Speaker 2>of Jalen, but most notably because, as I said before

0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:04.840
<v Speaker 2>the game, and I listen, I know I picked the Cowboys.

0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:07.480
<v Speaker 2>I was wrong, but a lot of the reasons I

0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:11.240
<v Speaker 2>picked the Cowboys ended up being proven out. If if

0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:16.720
<v Speaker 2>you can block Philly, you can cook their secondary just undeniably,

0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:22.320
<v Speaker 2>if you the teams that right now this year, here's

0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:28.720
<v Speaker 2>a stat. There have been nineteen three hundred yard, three

0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:32.320
<v Speaker 2>touchdown passing games in the NFL all year. There have

0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:37.400
<v Speaker 2>been nineteen of them. Okay, all thirty two teams, all

0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:40.280
<v Speaker 2>ten weeks. Nineteen times a quarterback has thrown for three

0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:44.760
<v Speaker 2>hundred yards and three touchdowns within one game. Philadelphia has

0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:50.040
<v Speaker 2>allowed four of the nineteen so almost a quarter of

0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:54.560
<v Speaker 2>the hands down, holy crap, great quarterbacking performances this year

0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:57.400
<v Speaker 2>have been allowed by Philly. Now the flip side to

0:16:57.440 --> 0:17:03.200
<v Speaker 2>that stat is the phillyeen that Philly didn't allow. Those

0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:06.520
<v Speaker 2>teams are one in fourteen. The team that allowed three

0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:11.360
<v Speaker 2>hundred yards and three touchdowns passing fifteen times, Philly's not involved.

0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:15.200
<v Speaker 2>Those teams have one win in fourteen losses. Philly has

0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:20.560
<v Speaker 2>allowed four. They're four and up. Philly is undefeated allowing

0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:23.520
<v Speaker 2>these amazing passing games. The rest of the league is

0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:26.359
<v Speaker 2>one in fourteen. Now they're allowing them way more than

0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:32.240
<v Speaker 2>any other team. Philadelphia is best positioned of any team

0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:36.119
<v Speaker 2>in the NFC. I do the Niners. You know, we

0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:38.760
<v Speaker 2>didn't see him this weekend, but last time we saw him,

0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:42.960
<v Speaker 2>their quarterback was spiraling and they'd lost three straight. The

0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:48.240
<v Speaker 2>Lions might not be quite ready for prime time, but

0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:51.960
<v Speaker 2>I do think the Lions could block Philly, and Dallas

0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:57.280
<v Speaker 2>is right there. But Philly just beat them, and now

0:17:57.359 --> 0:18:00.359
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's gonna be an uphill battle for Dallas

0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:03.480
<v Speaker 2>to not have that game in Philadelphia if they were

0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:07.480
<v Speaker 2>to play in the postseason. So Philly has handled its business.

0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:10.439
<v Speaker 2>They are incredibly sharp in how they go forward on

0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:15.840
<v Speaker 2>fourth downs, brotherly shove or not. But they have to

0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:23.840
<v Speaker 2>me a glaring weakness that if they were to get

0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:28.040
<v Speaker 2>back to the Super Bowl, I think most notably Kansas

0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:33.679
<v Speaker 2>City and Cincinnati could absolutely take advantage of and maybe Baltimore.

0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:38.399
<v Speaker 2>So I Philadelphia, I don't know how they're gonna shore

0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:42.359
<v Speaker 2>up that secondary they traded for. Bayered Sligh and Bradbury

0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:43.840
<v Speaker 2>haven't been good this year.

0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:47.879
<v Speaker 3>With the Chiefs and the Eagles as far as the

0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:51.440
<v Speaker 3>secondary lagging and the Chiefs not having great receivers, Like

0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:52.800
<v Speaker 3>wouldn't that be like that? Yes?

0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:56.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but they the Chiefs played them in the Super

0:18:56.640 --> 0:18:58.800
<v Speaker 2>Bowl last year with the same receivers and they scored

0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:03.320
<v Speaker 2>thirty eight points. Like that's the thing, like the the idea.

0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:08.000
<v Speaker 2>Now again, maybe I'm maybe I'm wrong, Maybe I am

0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:13.239
<v Speaker 2>greatly undervaluing the contributions of Juju Smith Schuster. But it

0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:17.679
<v Speaker 2>is literally the same receiving corps except Juju's gone and

0:19:17.800 --> 0:19:20.520
<v Speaker 2>Rashi Rice is in. And I think Rashie Rice is

0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:24.000
<v Speaker 2>already tracking towards being better. But I but I don't

0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:25.560
<v Speaker 2>want to talk about the Chiefs angle of it. I

0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:27.360
<v Speaker 2>want to get Listen, the Eagles are eight and one

0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:30.600
<v Speaker 2>through nine games. They've had no Super Bowl hangover. They

0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:35.160
<v Speaker 2>now they are another team that is not blowing teams out.

0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:38.720
<v Speaker 2>What they are doing is handling their business. They the

0:19:39.640 --> 0:19:42.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, they blew out Miami kind of they beat

0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:45.520
<v Speaker 2>Miami by fourteen. That was the great drive at the

0:19:45.600 --> 0:19:48.600
<v Speaker 2>end of the game that sapped the clock. They're not

0:19:48.680 --> 0:19:52.040
<v Speaker 2>blowing teams out, but they're winning. They're say it again.

0:19:52.359 --> 0:19:55.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh and they blew up the Fox early in the year. Yeah, no,

0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:58.720
<v Speaker 2>that's right, but the and they but a lot of

0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:02.520
<v Speaker 2>these If you can't blow you're drawing dead against them.

0:20:03.200 --> 0:20:07.000
<v Speaker 2>If you can block them, they're gonna get in a shootout. Now,

0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:10.120
<v Speaker 2>where I also give Philly credit is Jalen Hurts has

0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:13.560
<v Speaker 2>proven capable of winning these shootouts and aj Brown has

0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:19.320
<v Speaker 2>been exceptional. So listen, Philly is I Philly is right

0:20:19.400 --> 0:20:25.600
<v Speaker 2>now a very legitimate NFC favorite and a deserved NFC favorite.

0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:28.679
<v Speaker 2>I know I picked the Cowboys, but they Philly right

0:20:28.720 --> 0:20:32.199
<v Speaker 2>now has earned it. What's what are you looking like?

0:20:32.280 --> 0:20:34.359
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I don't know.

0:20:34.440 --> 0:20:37.119
<v Speaker 2>At the top of the NFC, I mean, people like

0:20:37.200 --> 0:20:43.320
<v Speaker 2>the Niners, Lions, and they just beat the Cowboys. I mean,

0:20:43.359 --> 0:20:47.760
<v Speaker 2>the NFC's got I think four legit teams. The Seahawks

0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:50.000
<v Speaker 2>have to take a bit of a step back, and

0:20:50.040 --> 0:20:53.480
<v Speaker 2>then there's a bunch of nothing like the Seahawks getting

0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:55.880
<v Speaker 2>rolled the way they got rolled. They've got to take

0:20:55.880 --> 0:20:58.040
<v Speaker 2>a step back at least for the time being. All Right,

0:20:58.080 --> 0:20:59.280
<v Speaker 2>let's go to Monday night football.

0:21:00.240 --> 0:21:02.679
<v Speaker 3>Dwaye, do you want to talk. You've apparently been picking

0:21:02.680 --> 0:21:04.399
<v Speaker 3>a fight with this guy. No, I.

0:21:05.960 --> 0:21:08.200
<v Speaker 2>No, this is always Sonny. He just said they never

0:21:08.240 --> 0:21:10.280
<v Speaker 2>a doubt thing. I don't really care. I didn't. I

0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:13.080
<v Speaker 2>don't know. I'm not I didn't watch the show. I

0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:15.600
<v Speaker 2>know he's not Danny DeVito, and he's not the guy

0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:18.639
<v Speaker 2>from Horrible Bosses, so I'm not really that familiar with him.

0:21:18.680 --> 0:21:21.040
<v Speaker 2>I know he was on It's always Sonny. People get

0:21:21.040 --> 0:21:22.800
<v Speaker 2>mad at me when I say that. I you know

0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:26.359
<v Speaker 2>that when people tweet never a Doubt they're sealing it

0:21:26.400 --> 0:21:28.199
<v Speaker 2>from me that they're like, oh, Nick, You're not the

0:21:28.240 --> 0:21:30.560
<v Speaker 2>first person to say it. Obviously, I'm not the first

0:21:30.560 --> 0:21:33.000
<v Speaker 2>person to say it, am I the first person to

0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:36.679
<v Speaker 2>really popularize it in reference to when you've won a

0:21:36.720 --> 0:21:39.639
<v Speaker 2>football game that there was actually massive doubt about and

0:21:39.760 --> 0:21:41.960
<v Speaker 2>maybe I think I was, but that's neither here nor there.

0:21:42.000 --> 0:21:44.560
<v Speaker 2>Go ahead, all right.

0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:47.760
<v Speaker 3>The only thing the Jets had going for them was

0:21:47.960 --> 0:21:51.480
<v Speaker 3>Aaron Rodgers passing the ball pre game. So he clearly

0:21:51.520 --> 0:21:54.719
<v Speaker 3>wants to come back early from this Achi Lees injury.

0:21:55.880 --> 0:21:59.520
<v Speaker 3>So looking at the Jets schedule, what's realistic for him

0:21:59.560 --> 0:22:01.159
<v Speaker 3>to come back? And when should he come back if

0:22:01.160 --> 0:22:02.360
<v Speaker 3>they want to make a playoff run?

0:22:02.880 --> 0:22:05.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay, he can't. I still do not believe he's going

0:22:05.920 --> 0:22:10.240
<v Speaker 2>to come back, and the Jets are The Jets are cooked.

0:22:11.119 --> 0:22:15.320
<v Speaker 2>The Jets tried to pretend like they were gonna be

0:22:15.320 --> 0:22:18.159
<v Speaker 2>able to get by with Zach Wilson, and because they

0:22:18.200 --> 0:22:21.359
<v Speaker 2>won a few games, we were like, oh maybe they can. No,

0:22:21.440 --> 0:22:27.080
<v Speaker 2>they can't. And you saw it last night and the

0:22:27.320 --> 0:22:31.960
<v Speaker 2>Zach played well against the Chiefs, to his credit, played

0:22:32.200 --> 0:22:36.359
<v Speaker 2>passable against the Broncos, and then he was bad against

0:22:36.359 --> 0:22:38.560
<v Speaker 2>the Eagles and Jalen had the worst game you know,

0:22:38.680 --> 0:22:41.359
<v Speaker 2>he's had in years and gave that game to the Jets.

0:22:41.560 --> 0:22:44.200
<v Speaker 2>The Giants game is the single worst win I've ever

0:22:44.240 --> 0:22:47.320
<v Speaker 2>seen in NFL history. And then they were drawing dead

0:22:47.359 --> 0:22:51.320
<v Speaker 2>against the Chargers. The Jets and I because I said,

0:22:51.359 --> 0:22:53.440
<v Speaker 2>we were gonna be fast today because we got off

0:22:53.440 --> 0:22:56.000
<v Speaker 2>to such a late start. I'm gonna talk about this

0:22:56.080 --> 0:22:58.720
<v Speaker 2>at length on the TV show today, But the way

0:22:58.760 --> 0:23:01.840
<v Speaker 2>the Jets managed the quarterback situation this year was total

0:23:01.880 --> 0:23:04.640
<v Speaker 2>male practice. And I don't know if they were protecting

0:23:04.640 --> 0:23:09.400
<v Speaker 2>Aaron Rodgers ego or the GM's ego who selected Zach Wilson,

0:23:09.680 --> 0:23:14.320
<v Speaker 2>but they were in service of protecting someone's pride. They

0:23:14.480 --> 0:23:18.280
<v Speaker 2>sacrificed any chance at competing for anything this year because

0:23:18.280 --> 0:23:22.560
<v Speaker 2>that defense is excellent. But the people are like, when

0:23:22.640 --> 0:23:26.720
<v Speaker 2>should Aaron come back? I mean, let's be the most

0:23:26.920 --> 0:23:31.880
<v Speaker 2>optimistic you possibly could be and say Aaron actually would

0:23:31.920 --> 0:23:36.080
<v Speaker 2>be available by the very end of the season, or

0:23:36.320 --> 0:23:41.200
<v Speaker 2>call it December that he sets all the records. Aaron

0:23:41.280 --> 0:23:43.680
<v Speaker 2>Rodgers are gonna come back for a five to eleven team,

0:23:44.200 --> 0:23:47.879
<v Speaker 2>Like that's what we're talking about. No, he's not. And

0:23:48.720 --> 0:23:52.680
<v Speaker 2>they're at the Raiders this week, then at Buffalo, home

0:23:52.720 --> 0:23:55.679
<v Speaker 2>for the Dolphins, home for the Falcons, home for the

0:23:55.720 --> 0:24:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Texans at the Dolphins. Their best case scenario, best case

0:24:02.119 --> 0:24:04.600
<v Speaker 2>is they go two and four over the next six.

0:24:05.160 --> 0:24:07.400
<v Speaker 2>That puts them that puts them at six and eight

0:24:07.480 --> 0:24:09.879
<v Speaker 2>and totally cooked. So no, I mean, there's gonna be

0:24:09.960 --> 0:24:13.840
<v Speaker 2>a ten win team in the AFC that misses the playoffs.

0:24:14.080 --> 0:24:16.600
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, like the offensive line is still

0:24:17.520 --> 0:24:21.040
<v Speaker 2>the idea that you're just going to come back on one.

0:24:20.480 --> 0:24:21.600
<v Speaker 3>All right?

0:24:21.720 --> 0:24:22.080
<v Speaker 2>Next?

0:24:23.040 --> 0:24:25.800
<v Speaker 3>Wait, so, do you think the Chargers have any life

0:24:26.320 --> 0:24:28.240
<v Speaker 3>like with the with the win last night or do

0:24:28.280 --> 0:24:29.520
<v Speaker 3>you want to go we want to go over that

0:24:29.600 --> 0:24:30.280
<v Speaker 3>at all? No?

0:24:30.359 --> 0:24:34.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I listen, the win last night doesn't mean

0:24:34.840 --> 0:24:37.960
<v Speaker 2>much to me for the Chargers. The Chargers season was

0:24:37.960 --> 0:24:42.080
<v Speaker 2>on the line against Kansas City and they didn't show up.

0:24:42.800 --> 0:24:45.120
<v Speaker 2>They since then have beaten the Bears and the Jets,

0:24:45.280 --> 0:24:48.760
<v Speaker 2>and you know, you're happy for him, but they already

0:24:48.760 --> 0:24:52.520
<v Speaker 2>have four losses. They have games left against the Lions,

0:24:52.920 --> 0:24:57.600
<v Speaker 2>the Ravens, the Bills, and the Chiefs. Two divisional games

0:24:57.600 --> 0:25:00.880
<v Speaker 2>against the Broncos, who aren't good with division games are hard,

0:25:01.600 --> 0:25:05.120
<v Speaker 2>and then road games at the Packers that shouldn't be hard,

0:25:05.560 --> 0:25:09.200
<v Speaker 2>at the Patriots that shouldn't be hard, and at the

0:25:09.320 --> 0:25:12.720
<v Speaker 2>Raiders a road divisional game. I mean, the Chargers feel

0:25:12.720 --> 0:25:15.240
<v Speaker 2>like they're gonna charger this and be nine and eight

0:25:15.800 --> 0:25:18.399
<v Speaker 2>and maybe going into the final week of the season.

0:25:18.680 --> 0:25:22.920
<v Speaker 2>The most vintage way for this Chargers season to end

0:25:23.720 --> 0:25:27.879
<v Speaker 2>would be for them to be nine and seven going

0:25:27.920 --> 0:25:33.000
<v Speaker 2>into Week eighteen at home against the Chiefs. Have the

0:25:33.119 --> 0:25:37.040
<v Speaker 2>Chargers be in a win and in situation, and the

0:25:37.119 --> 0:25:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs be in a already clinched the one seed, benching

0:25:41.760 --> 0:25:45.960
<v Speaker 2>Mahomes for rest situation, and the Chargers still lose the game.

0:25:46.640 --> 0:25:51.560
<v Speaker 2>That would be like the most vented Chargers season possible.

0:25:52.000 --> 0:25:54.840
<v Speaker 2>Is like you when you look at the schedule and

0:25:54.920 --> 0:25:59.080
<v Speaker 2>you're in the AFC West, you are praying that one

0:25:59.119 --> 0:26:03.440
<v Speaker 2>of your two Chiefs games is Week eighteen because there's

0:26:03.480 --> 0:26:06.880
<v Speaker 2>a chance the Chiefs are resting people there there you're

0:26:06.960 --> 0:26:11.399
<v Speaker 2>a massive dog. Well the I mean, I mean, I

0:26:11.480 --> 0:26:14.520
<v Speaker 2>understand the Chiefs lost Week one this year, but the

0:26:14.760 --> 0:26:17.280
<v Speaker 2>prior to that, they had never lost Week one. The

0:26:17.680 --> 0:26:20.720
<v Speaker 2>with Mahomes, you're hoping, if it's a division you gotta

0:26:20.720 --> 0:26:23.080
<v Speaker 2>play a divisional game in the final week of the year,

0:26:23.880 --> 0:26:27.560
<v Speaker 2>and you're hoping that's your Chiefs game because if they've

0:26:27.600 --> 0:26:30.760
<v Speaker 2>clinched a few years ago, the Chargers beat the Chiefs

0:26:30.760 --> 0:26:35.160
<v Speaker 2>in this exact scenario, Mahomes was. It was Herbert Tricky year.

0:26:35.200 --> 0:26:38.959
<v Speaker 2>I think Mahomes was resting that started arresting and the

0:26:39.080 --> 0:26:41.760
<v Speaker 2>Chargers got the win, but I think the Chargers are

0:26:41.760 --> 0:26:44.240
<v Speaker 2>a nine to eighteen that misses the postseason. I picked

0:26:44.280 --> 0:26:45.960
<v Speaker 2>them to make the playoffs for the year. I don't

0:26:46.000 --> 0:26:48.840
<v Speaker 2>believe that's who they are. All right, go ahead, all right?

0:26:48.920 --> 0:26:51.800
<v Speaker 3>C J. Stroud has exceeded expectations as a rookie. He's

0:26:51.840 --> 0:26:55.960
<v Speaker 3>breaking records. Houston's thrilled. But you hinted how this emergence

0:26:56.000 --> 0:27:00.919
<v Speaker 3>added to the disproportionate, disproported disproportion at quarterback talent in

0:27:01.000 --> 0:27:03.240
<v Speaker 3>the a f C versus NFC. So we're gonna do

0:27:03.280 --> 0:27:06.120
<v Speaker 3>a nick makes it right? Uh? How should the league

0:27:06.160 --> 0:27:08.480
<v Speaker 3>go about fixing the quarterback and balance in the NFL?

0:27:08.720 --> 0:27:13.199
<v Speaker 2>There's no way to fix it. I no, I mean

0:27:13.280 --> 0:27:16.720
<v Speaker 2>I joked that we need to do a conference realignment

0:27:16.880 --> 0:27:22.960
<v Speaker 2>based on strength of quarterbacks. But like, here's the and

0:27:23.280 --> 0:27:28.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm not breaking news here, but aside from Jalen and Dak,

0:27:30.960 --> 0:27:35.359
<v Speaker 2>take Jalen Hurts one, Dak Prescott two, who's the next

0:27:35.400 --> 0:27:38.800
<v Speaker 2>best quarterback in the NFC? Jared?

0:27:38.840 --> 0:27:40.640
<v Speaker 3>I mean he's hurt. He's hurt right now.

0:27:41.880 --> 0:27:47.560
<v Speaker 2>Golf's not hurt. Golf's fine. Uh, Kirk Cousins, Golf hurt.

0:27:48.320 --> 0:27:52.520
<v Speaker 2>Kirk Yeah, Kirk's done for the year. He popped his achilles.

0:27:56.000 --> 0:27:58.200
<v Speaker 2>Kirk would have been third or fourth, but he's done

0:27:58.240 --> 0:28:01.440
<v Speaker 2>for the year and isn't then a free agent. If

0:28:01.480 --> 0:28:06.159
<v Speaker 2>you in the AFC, you have Mahomes, what the producers

0:28:06.160 --> 0:28:12.240
<v Speaker 2>have listed Mahomes, Burrow, Lamar Trevor to Josh Allen, Justin Herbert, CJ. Stroud.

0:28:13.400 --> 0:28:17.960
<v Speaker 2>Of the ten best quarterbacks in football, eight of them

0:28:18.040 --> 0:28:23.040
<v Speaker 2>might be in the AFC. It's also why the NFL

0:28:23.200 --> 0:28:28.359
<v Speaker 2>needs Caleb and Drake May to go to the NFC.

0:28:29.160 --> 0:28:31.280
<v Speaker 2>You need some of these young and I don't even

0:28:31.359 --> 0:28:34.280
<v Speaker 2>know that. You know, you can't guarantee Drake May's gonna hit,

0:28:34.280 --> 0:28:38.640
<v Speaker 2>but you need some of these Like this year, the

0:28:38.680 --> 0:28:42.120
<v Speaker 2>Panthers in the NFC had the number one pick, they

0:28:42.160 --> 0:28:45.080
<v Speaker 2>took Bryce Young. The Texans in the AFC had the

0:28:45.160 --> 0:28:48.560
<v Speaker 2>number two pick, they were forced to take CJ. Stroud.

0:28:48.960 --> 0:28:51.720
<v Speaker 2>Just flip those two and you're you know what I mean.

0:28:52.000 --> 0:28:55.840
<v Speaker 2>We're in a different situation now the NFC. Maybe people

0:28:55.880 --> 0:29:00.200
<v Speaker 2>believe Kyler is gonna come back and change this where

0:29:00.320 --> 0:29:02.760
<v Speaker 2>people believe in brock Purty in a way I don't.

0:29:03.040 --> 0:29:06.960
<v Speaker 2>But the problem is Kyler is gonna get replaced next

0:29:07.040 --> 0:29:09.640
<v Speaker 2>year by Caleb if they get the number one pick,

0:29:09.720 --> 0:29:11.680
<v Speaker 2>Drake May if they get the number two pick, and

0:29:11.720 --> 0:29:14.480
<v Speaker 2>then where does Kyler go? There's just there's no easy

0:29:14.480 --> 0:29:18.160
<v Speaker 2>way to fix this. But it's just if you're in

0:29:18.200 --> 0:29:23.920
<v Speaker 2>the NFC, you feel like you have so many more opportunities. Meanwhile,

0:29:23.960 --> 0:29:27.320
<v Speaker 2>if you're in the AFC, you it is just a

0:29:27.480 --> 0:29:32.520
<v Speaker 2>murderer's row of quarterbacks. And CJ. Stroud, who is having

0:29:32.520 --> 0:29:35.920
<v Speaker 2>one of the best rookie seasons ever and just had

0:29:35.960 --> 0:29:38.240
<v Speaker 2>one of the best games anyone has played in the

0:29:38.320 --> 0:29:42.120
<v Speaker 2>NFL all year, is just you know, Adam to the bunch,

0:29:42.120 --> 0:29:48.719
<v Speaker 2>all right, take quick break, come back, what's right? All right?

0:29:48.760 --> 0:29:50.959
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back in What's right? With Nick? Right? Demon's day?

0:29:51.000 --> 0:29:52.880
<v Speaker 2>What game are we play before we get to right

0:29:52.960 --> 0:29:55.400
<v Speaker 2>or wrong? I should say it's a new month, so

0:29:55.480 --> 0:29:57.640
<v Speaker 2>it's time for another edition of Playing your Flag.

0:29:57.720 --> 0:30:01.440
<v Speaker 3>Go ahead, yeah, play play at your flag. Quick reminder,

0:30:01.520 --> 0:30:04.200
<v Speaker 3>you're going to keep some from last time, and then

0:30:04.200 --> 0:30:07.520
<v Speaker 3>you're gonna replace others. Last month you added the Bengals

0:30:07.560 --> 0:30:11.479
<v Speaker 3>are cooked and Belichick's job security is a hot debate topic.

0:30:11.960 --> 0:30:14.840
<v Speaker 3>Which flags are you replacing this month? Probably both of those?

0:30:14.960 --> 0:30:20.120
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So I said before Week one that the Chiefs

0:30:20.120 --> 0:30:23.080
<v Speaker 2>are the best team in the NFL. Check that Robert

0:30:23.200 --> 0:30:25.440
<v Speaker 2>Sala was gonna end up on the hot seat given

0:30:25.480 --> 0:30:28.680
<v Speaker 2>another few weeks, and then check that the quarterback woes

0:30:28.720 --> 0:30:32.240
<v Speaker 2>will bite the forty nine ers has already happened. Check now,

0:30:32.400 --> 0:30:37.760
<v Speaker 2>then I last month I added that Bill Belichick's job

0:30:37.800 --> 0:30:40.280
<v Speaker 2>security is gonna be a hot debate topic. Check the

0:30:40.360 --> 0:30:42.720
<v Speaker 2>Athletic today they talked about whether or not he could

0:30:42.720 --> 0:30:47.120
<v Speaker 2>be fired mid season if they lose in Germany. Check.

0:30:47.360 --> 0:30:50.200
<v Speaker 2>So I only have room to add one more. Luckily,

0:30:50.280 --> 0:30:52.480
<v Speaker 2>I have a bad one. I said the Bengals were cooked.

0:30:52.520 --> 0:30:55.760
<v Speaker 2>They obviously are not. They're terrifying now. The Bengals are

0:30:55.800 --> 0:30:58.280
<v Speaker 2>in a weird spot. I thought they were cooked because

0:30:58.400 --> 0:31:00.240
<v Speaker 2>I didn't think Joe Burrow was going to be able

0:31:00.240 --> 0:31:03.280
<v Speaker 2>to get healthy by continuing to play football. I was wrong.

0:31:03.480 --> 0:31:06.840
<v Speaker 2>He's fully healthy and they're back to being awesome. Now

0:31:06.880 --> 0:31:10.960
<v Speaker 2>here's the problem for the Bengals. They here's what they

0:31:11.040 --> 0:31:15.160
<v Speaker 2>their next month is home for the Texans, all of

0:31:15.200 --> 0:31:20.280
<v Speaker 2>a sudden tough game, particularly since they have had they've

0:31:20.360 --> 0:31:24.000
<v Speaker 2>essentially been season on the line three weeks in a row.

0:31:24.120 --> 0:31:27.560
<v Speaker 2>Seattle at the Niners home for the Bills, and the

0:31:27.600 --> 0:31:30.760
<v Speaker 2>week after the Texans game, actually the Thursday after the

0:31:30.800 --> 0:31:34.160
<v Speaker 2>Texans game, they're in Baltimore, so that's kind of like

0:31:34.280 --> 0:31:37.720
<v Speaker 2>vintage trap game spot. But the Bengals home for the Texans,

0:31:37.920 --> 0:31:43.760
<v Speaker 2>then at the Ravens home for the Steelers at the Jags. So,

0:31:44.480 --> 0:31:47.040
<v Speaker 2>and then they end the year, by the way, they

0:31:47.080 --> 0:31:50.120
<v Speaker 2>go home for Colts home for Vikings, sure easy, then

0:31:50.280 --> 0:31:54.320
<v Speaker 2>at Pittsburgh at Kansas City home for the Browns. So

0:31:54.640 --> 0:31:58.480
<v Speaker 2>the Bengals are terrifying, and they are also far from

0:31:58.600 --> 0:32:01.200
<v Speaker 2>guaranteed to even be a player team. But if they

0:32:01.240 --> 0:32:04.120
<v Speaker 2>get in, they're I mean, with Joe Burrow playing this way,

0:32:04.160 --> 0:32:06.960
<v Speaker 2>he's hands down the second best quarterback alive, has been

0:32:06.960 --> 0:32:08.719
<v Speaker 2>for a couple of years. I'm glad folks are now

0:32:08.800 --> 0:32:12.640
<v Speaker 2>joining me on that. People aren't. You know, you don't

0:32:12.640 --> 0:32:15.000
<v Speaker 2>hear about Josh Allen quite as much you once did.

0:32:15.040 --> 0:32:18.080
<v Speaker 2>I wonder why so, But the Bengals are not cooked.

0:32:18.600 --> 0:32:22.240
<v Speaker 2>They're not you know, they're they are not fully safe,

0:32:22.240 --> 0:32:25.360
<v Speaker 2>but they're not cooked. So we're gonna remove Bengals are cooked,

0:32:25.400 --> 0:32:28.120
<v Speaker 2>and we're gonna replace it with something we talked about

0:32:28.200 --> 0:32:32.960
<v Speaker 2>last month that despite Philly beating Dallas I still like,

0:32:33.520 --> 0:32:37.360
<v Speaker 2>and that's Detroit being the one seat. The Lions now,

0:32:37.400 --> 0:32:41.720
<v Speaker 2>coming off a bye, they have two losses. What they

0:32:41.800 --> 0:32:45.960
<v Speaker 2>have after the bye at the Chargers. That's always a

0:32:46.040 --> 0:32:48.719
<v Speaker 2>kind of unfair spot, if you ask me, It's not

0:32:48.760 --> 0:32:51.280
<v Speaker 2>only the Lions are coming off a bye, It's that

0:32:51.400 --> 0:32:54.560
<v Speaker 2>the Chargers played on Monday, so the Chargers are on

0:32:54.640 --> 0:32:57.760
<v Speaker 2>a short week. The Lions are on super extended rest.

0:32:58.280 --> 0:33:03.080
<v Speaker 2>After that, they have the Bears, the Packers, the Saints,

0:33:03.480 --> 0:33:08.240
<v Speaker 2>the Bears, the Broncos, the Vikings at the Cowboys, and

0:33:08.280 --> 0:33:12.840
<v Speaker 2>then the Vikings. The Lions to me look like at

0:33:12.840 --> 0:33:17.320
<v Speaker 2>this point a fourteen win team given that schedule, so

0:33:17.400 --> 0:33:20.440
<v Speaker 2>they can be the one seed Philly. And let me

0:33:20.480 --> 0:33:25.680
<v Speaker 2>make sure I'm right on this, but well, the the

0:33:25.720 --> 0:33:29.680
<v Speaker 2>Eagles Lions tiebreaker would come down likely to conference record,

0:33:30.320 --> 0:33:33.960
<v Speaker 2>which would be tricky. I guess it would because they

0:33:34.000 --> 0:33:38.120
<v Speaker 2>eat right now. Philly's one loss is a non con loss.

0:33:38.160 --> 0:33:40.840
<v Speaker 2>The Lions also have one non con loss, so that's

0:33:40.840 --> 0:33:44.200
<v Speaker 2>a tricky one. I think the Lion I think Philly's

0:33:44.200 --> 0:33:47.160
<v Speaker 2>gonna slip up a bit in the coming weeks, even

0:33:47.200 --> 0:33:50.120
<v Speaker 2>though I think Philly's excellent. What they have, and we've

0:33:50.160 --> 0:33:53.239
<v Speaker 2>talked about this at length. They're at Kansas City, then

0:33:53.280 --> 0:33:55.960
<v Speaker 2>home for the Bills, home for the Niners, at the Cowboys,

0:33:56.040 --> 0:33:59.320
<v Speaker 2>at the Seahawks, before they finished with Giants, Cardinals, Giants,

0:33:59.320 --> 0:34:02.000
<v Speaker 2>which is basically, they're gonna have a month off before

0:34:02.040 --> 0:34:06.000
<v Speaker 2>the playoffs. So I think that the Lions catch the Eagles,

0:34:06.000 --> 0:34:07.560
<v Speaker 2>and the Lions of the one seed. That's where I'm

0:34:07.560 --> 0:34:09.520
<v Speaker 2>planning my flag. All right, let's play a game.

0:34:09.680 --> 0:34:12.080
<v Speaker 3>That wasn't the good seed on there, like that wasn't

0:34:12.160 --> 0:34:14.600
<v Speaker 3>coming out on top of their division. Because when we

0:34:14.680 --> 0:34:17.160
<v Speaker 3>placed that bet a while ago, I was under the

0:34:17.200 --> 0:34:19.799
<v Speaker 3>impression that it was them finishing over.

0:34:21.560 --> 0:34:27.000
<v Speaker 2>You thought we were getting fifty demonse. You thought we

0:34:27.000 --> 0:34:30.440
<v Speaker 2>were getting lost four on them winning the division.

0:34:32.000 --> 0:34:34.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I did, honestly, buddy.

0:34:34.680 --> 0:34:38.000
<v Speaker 2>They were like minus five hundred to win the division.

0:34:38.760 --> 0:34:42.480
<v Speaker 2>They were the massive favorite. That's why you liked that

0:34:42.560 --> 0:34:43.319
<v Speaker 2>bet so much.

0:34:43.400 --> 0:34:45.560
<v Speaker 3>I loved it, and I was I thought it was

0:34:45.600 --> 0:34:50.200
<v Speaker 3>free money. Oh yeah, yeah, chat, oh.

0:34:50.000 --> 0:34:54.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Okay, all right, well, no, we did make that bet,

0:34:54.360 --> 0:34:56.879
<v Speaker 2>but it's to be the one seed, not to win

0:34:56.960 --> 0:35:00.400
<v Speaker 2>the NFC North. Okay, all right, let's.

0:35:00.280 --> 0:35:03.000
<v Speaker 3>Play right or right or wrong? So first, we got

0:35:03.080 --> 0:35:07.320
<v Speaker 3>Josh Dobbs here, Vikings quarterback. Josh Dobbs studied aerospace engineering

0:35:07.320 --> 0:35:10.440
<v Speaker 3>in school. Now he's playing out of this world. Despite

0:35:10.480 --> 0:35:13.320
<v Speaker 3>not knowing the playbook or even some of his teammates' names,

0:35:13.800 --> 0:35:16.000
<v Speaker 3>he came in and let an unforgettable win for his

0:35:16.120 --> 0:35:19.759
<v Speaker 3>third team three months. Right or wrong, playing quarterback is

0:35:19.800 --> 0:35:20.760
<v Speaker 3>not rocket science.

0:35:21.560 --> 0:35:24.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, listen, Josh Doobbs obviously a brilliant guy, and what

0:35:24.719 --> 0:35:27.440
<v Speaker 2>he did this weekend is remarkable and he deserves all

0:35:27.480 --> 0:35:32.799
<v Speaker 2>the credit in the world. But and I tweeted this,

0:35:33.000 --> 0:35:37.279
<v Speaker 2>and we can be fast on it. But I am

0:35:37.320 --> 0:35:41.560
<v Speaker 2>old enough to remember in the midst of the obvious

0:35:41.680 --> 0:35:45.520
<v Speaker 2>blackballing of Colin Kaepernick, that with when he had only

0:35:45.560 --> 0:35:48.400
<v Speaker 2>been blackballed for like a year and was still in

0:35:48.440 --> 0:35:52.000
<v Speaker 2>football shape and still available. And even if people were like, ah,

0:35:52.040 --> 0:35:54.520
<v Speaker 2>he's not a great quarterback, but he was obviously good

0:35:54.600 --> 0:35:58.160
<v Speaker 2>enough to play in the NFL. Whenever a quarterback would

0:35:58.160 --> 0:36:01.080
<v Speaker 2>get hurt and people would be like, hey, you could

0:36:01.120 --> 0:36:06.320
<v Speaker 2>sign cap what all of that just the talking points

0:36:06.360 --> 0:36:10.680
<v Speaker 2>from the entirety of NFL media was well, really, what

0:36:10.760 --> 0:36:13.160
<v Speaker 2>would be the point because even if they sign him,

0:36:13.400 --> 0:36:16.080
<v Speaker 2>you can you can't play quarterback unless you've been there

0:36:16.120 --> 0:36:18.160
<v Speaker 2>for at least a month six weeks. By that time,

0:36:18.239 --> 0:36:21.200
<v Speaker 2>the quarterback's back, like he's got to be there for

0:36:21.719 --> 0:36:27.000
<v Speaker 2>a long time. And since then, just in the last

0:36:27.360 --> 0:36:31.040
<v Speaker 2>nine months of football, we've seen Baker Mayfield get signed

0:36:31.040 --> 0:36:34.600
<v Speaker 2>on a Tuesday and lead a game winning ninety eight

0:36:34.680 --> 0:36:38.480
<v Speaker 2>yard drive for the Rams on like Thursday Night Football

0:36:38.560 --> 0:36:40.760
<v Speaker 2>or whatever the hell that was if you remember that game,

0:36:41.080 --> 0:36:45.080
<v Speaker 2>and Josh Dobbs get traded midweek, not know anyone's name,

0:36:45.360 --> 0:36:49.160
<v Speaker 2>learn the cadence on the sideline and play awesome. So

0:36:49.360 --> 0:36:53.359
<v Speaker 2>maybe just maybe that you. Yes, it is not an

0:36:53.360 --> 0:36:56.040
<v Speaker 2>ideal situation, but it's doable, all right.

0:36:56.160 --> 0:37:00.799
<v Speaker 3>Next, all right, everyone's finally joining me on the raven bandwagon.

0:37:00.920 --> 0:37:03.880
<v Speaker 3>He just blew out the Seahawks and destroyed a teaser

0:37:04.239 --> 0:37:06.760
<v Speaker 3>and are looking dominant on both sides of the football.

0:37:06.880 --> 0:37:10.520
<v Speaker 2>DeMont loves the Ravens and then just teases against them and.

0:37:10.440 --> 0:37:14.520
<v Speaker 3>Losing and we show on Thursday. But I'm literally never

0:37:14.600 --> 0:37:17.080
<v Speaker 3>doing that again, like even watching the games. It's so

0:37:17.280 --> 0:37:19.759
<v Speaker 3>kind of weird. But right or wrong, Ravens are the

0:37:19.840 --> 0:37:20.880
<v Speaker 3>Chief's biggest threat.

0:37:23.920 --> 0:37:31.960
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so Cincinnati has earned the title because they've played

0:37:31.960 --> 0:37:34.920
<v Speaker 2>the Chiefs tough, and they have the only quarterback in

0:37:34.960 --> 0:37:38.759
<v Speaker 2>the league that's beaten Patrick Mahomes in a game that mattered. Oh, Nick,

0:37:38.840 --> 0:37:41.120
<v Speaker 2>all the games matter. Just to be very clear, because

0:37:41.120 --> 0:37:43.640
<v Speaker 2>I said this on TV yesterday and people didn't quite

0:37:43.719 --> 0:37:46.560
<v Speaker 2>understand it. What is the point of the regular season

0:37:46.600 --> 0:37:51.280
<v Speaker 2>demonse playoff seeding right to determine who has the highest seed,

0:37:51.320 --> 0:37:54.400
<v Speaker 2>who has home field? All of this. Since Patrick Mahonmes

0:37:54.400 --> 0:37:57.160
<v Speaker 2>been on the Chiefs, have they ever had to play

0:37:57.160 --> 0:38:00.400
<v Speaker 2>a road playoff game? No, so they either been the

0:38:00.440 --> 0:38:03.520
<v Speaker 2>one seed or been the default one seed because the

0:38:03.520 --> 0:38:07.719
<v Speaker 2>one seed lost every single year. So they literally have

0:38:07.800 --> 0:38:11.200
<v Speaker 2>not had a damaging regular season loss because they've been

0:38:11.239 --> 0:38:15.520
<v Speaker 2>in perfect seeding and playoff positioning every single year. So

0:38:15.600 --> 0:38:18.600
<v Speaker 2>Patrick Mahomes has lost three games that mattered in his career,

0:38:19.000 --> 0:38:21.600
<v Speaker 2>one to Tom Brady as a Patriot, one to Tom

0:38:21.640 --> 0:38:24.239
<v Speaker 2>Brady as a Buck, and one to Joe Burrow. So

0:38:24.360 --> 0:38:26.840
<v Speaker 2>Joe Burrow is the only quarterback alive that has beaten

0:38:27.120 --> 0:38:30.200
<v Speaker 2>Patrick Mahomes in the game that matters. Because of that,

0:38:31.000 --> 0:38:34.759
<v Speaker 2>his team gets the title of the scariest team. They

0:38:34.760 --> 0:38:41.640
<v Speaker 2>have earned that now to the Ravens and people go

0:38:41.680 --> 0:38:42.600
<v Speaker 2>ahead demant say.

0:38:42.520 --> 0:38:46.120
<v Speaker 3>Go go nothing. I just say that, like some get

0:38:46.480 --> 0:38:48.520
<v Speaker 3>I hate bringing it back there, dude, But like, would

0:38:48.520 --> 0:38:52.080
<v Speaker 3>you say the first game of the season matters, I'd say,

0:38:52.080 --> 0:38:52.879
<v Speaker 3>that's a pretty big game.

0:38:53.000 --> 0:38:58.080
<v Speaker 2>Let's see, Well let's see. You mean the Lions game. Yeah,

0:38:58.120 --> 0:39:00.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I mean, let's see if Chiefs get the

0:39:00.560 --> 0:39:01.879
<v Speaker 2>one seed. How much does it mean.

0:39:04.760 --> 0:39:06.160
<v Speaker 3>For your soul?

0:39:07.320 --> 0:39:12.799
<v Speaker 2>But certainly matters for the other team maybe. But I'm

0:39:12.880 --> 0:39:16.279
<v Speaker 2>what I'm saying is if the Chiefs end up with

0:39:16.800 --> 0:39:20.919
<v Speaker 2>the number one seed this year at fifteen and two

0:39:21.040 --> 0:39:22.080
<v Speaker 2>or fourteen.

0:39:22.440 --> 0:39:24.600
<v Speaker 3>None of it would have mattered, is what you're saying.

0:39:24.760 --> 0:39:29.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm just I'm just asking. I'm the here's I

0:39:30.680 --> 0:39:36.160
<v Speaker 2>am asking that if if you end up achieving your

0:39:36.440 --> 0:39:40.759
<v Speaker 2>the maximum, the biggest reward for the regular season is

0:39:40.800 --> 0:39:45.120
<v Speaker 2>playoff seeding. If you end up with the number one seed,

0:39:45.600 --> 0:39:48.920
<v Speaker 2>then I would argue the losses didn't matter. Now, if

0:39:48.960 --> 0:39:51.000
<v Speaker 2>you end up being a game out of that one

0:39:51.120 --> 0:39:55.480
<v Speaker 2>seed mattered greatly, We'll see. So we'll see if that

0:39:55.520 --> 0:39:58.840
<v Speaker 2>game ended up mattering for the Chiefs. Now to the

0:39:58.960 --> 0:40:01.920
<v Speaker 2>Ravens and the point I was trying to make, and

0:40:01.960 --> 0:40:05.640
<v Speaker 2>people will get mad, But a quick history lesson on

0:40:05.719 --> 0:40:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Lamar in the Ravens. Lamar's first year in the league,

0:40:10.560 --> 0:40:13.920
<v Speaker 2>he did not start until late in the season. He

0:40:14.040 --> 0:40:18.879
<v Speaker 2>took over a middling at best team. They immediately went

0:40:19.040 --> 0:40:23.239
<v Speaker 2>six and one, looked awesome, and then in the playoffs

0:40:23.239 --> 0:40:26.640
<v Speaker 2>he was terrible. Lamar's second year in the league, he

0:40:26.800 --> 0:40:31.080
<v Speaker 2>started from day one. They not only started six and two,

0:40:31.239 --> 0:40:37.320
<v Speaker 2>they finished fourteen in two he was the league MVP unanimously,

0:40:38.440 --> 0:40:43.799
<v Speaker 2>and in the playoffs looked terrible. Then next year the

0:40:43.880 --> 0:40:48.319
<v Speaker 2>Ravens started you guessed it, six and two, and then

0:40:48.360 --> 0:40:50.800
<v Speaker 2>in the playoffs beat the Titans and then lost to

0:40:50.840 --> 0:40:54.800
<v Speaker 2>the Bills. The next year he started six and three

0:40:55.680 --> 0:40:58.600
<v Speaker 2>and then got hurt. And last year they started seven

0:40:58.640 --> 0:41:01.719
<v Speaker 2>and three and then he got hurt. I say all

0:41:01.719 --> 0:41:04.759
<v Speaker 2>that to say this, the Ravens are in the I'll

0:41:04.840 --> 0:41:07.960
<v Speaker 2>believe it when I see it in the postseason. Group. Sorry,

0:41:08.440 --> 0:41:11.880
<v Speaker 2>we do this in sports all the time. This is

0:41:12.000 --> 0:41:18.160
<v Speaker 2>essentially what the uh James Harden Rockets turned into. At

0:41:18.160 --> 0:41:21.200
<v Speaker 2>some point it was like, Yep, great regular season, I'll

0:41:21.200 --> 0:41:24.480
<v Speaker 2>believe it when I see it in the playoffs. I

0:41:24.640 --> 0:41:27.840
<v Speaker 2>need to see you come through. So the Ravens defense

0:41:27.880 --> 0:41:30.279
<v Speaker 2>has been unbelievable, and Lamar has a case. He has

0:41:30.320 --> 0:41:33.600
<v Speaker 2>been the MVP of the league, but there is and

0:41:33.719 --> 0:41:36.759
<v Speaker 2>I take the team very seriously, but there is a

0:41:36.800 --> 0:41:40.400
<v Speaker 2>bit of a I have seen it fall on its

0:41:40.480 --> 0:41:44.000
<v Speaker 2>face too many times in the postseason that Ravens operation

0:41:44.600 --> 0:41:47.680
<v Speaker 2>for me to fully believe in them, and I think

0:41:47.719 --> 0:41:49.400
<v Speaker 2>that's fair. I think that's what a lot of people

0:41:49.440 --> 0:41:53.520
<v Speaker 2>do with the Gubins. He's paid and they have more weapons.

0:41:53.800 --> 0:41:56.440
<v Speaker 2>But I need to see it. All right, let's do

0:41:56.520 --> 0:41:57.440
<v Speaker 2>the Raiders.

0:41:57.680 --> 0:41:59.480
<v Speaker 3>All right. But it looks at their celebration you would

0:41:59.480 --> 0:42:01.640
<v Speaker 3>think that the Raiders had just won a playoff game,

0:42:01.840 --> 0:42:04.560
<v Speaker 3>but they were actually lighting up cigars to celebrate beating

0:42:04.600 --> 0:42:07.239
<v Speaker 3>Tommy DeVito and the Giants to move to four and five.

0:42:07.840 --> 0:42:12.120
<v Speaker 3>Right or wrong, Raiders were celebrating firing McDaniels, not the win.

0:42:12.280 --> 0:42:15.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean both. They were celebrating both. They wouldn't have

0:42:15.320 --> 0:42:19.640
<v Speaker 2>done that had they lost. And I understand that a

0:42:19.680 --> 0:42:21.480
<v Speaker 2>lot of people think it's a bad look. I thought

0:42:21.480 --> 0:42:24.520
<v Speaker 2>it was charming. They were just so sick of McDaniels.

0:42:24.719 --> 0:42:27.759
<v Speaker 2>They gotta win. They played great. Good for them. I'm

0:42:27.760 --> 0:42:32.000
<v Speaker 2>not gonna rain Jimmy. The Raiders haven't the oh yeah, yeah,

0:42:32.080 --> 0:42:35.759
<v Speaker 2>the Raiders haven't had many good moments lately. All right,

0:42:35.760 --> 0:42:37.560
<v Speaker 2>de Monsei, Let's skip all the way down to the

0:42:37.560 --> 0:42:40.239
<v Speaker 2>college football game, because you were at what I thought

0:42:40.320 --> 0:42:41.880
<v Speaker 2>was gonna be the college football game of the year

0:42:42.040 --> 0:42:43.560
<v Speaker 2>Washington USC. Go ahead.

0:42:44.760 --> 0:42:46.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So I went to the first my first college

0:42:46.880 --> 0:42:49.880
<v Speaker 3>basketball or football game with Daniel Victor and the guys

0:42:50.360 --> 0:42:52.600
<v Speaker 3>Chauncey shout out to Chauncey.

0:42:53.520 --> 0:42:55.800
<v Speaker 2>Instead of even asking me the question, hold on, instead

0:42:55.840 --> 0:42:57.440
<v Speaker 2>of even asking me the question. I don't care. I

0:42:57.480 --> 0:43:02.040
<v Speaker 2>don't care that Caleb tell me what you thought of it.

0:43:02.520 --> 0:43:05.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that was a that was This is unfortunate. But

0:43:06.440 --> 0:43:09.560
<v Speaker 3>I do think that his play style is pretty crazy.

0:43:09.640 --> 0:43:11.920
<v Speaker 3>It's the it's the little move that he does, like

0:43:12.520 --> 0:43:15.200
<v Speaker 3>where he liked, the little angle that he takes where

0:43:15.200 --> 0:43:17.440
<v Speaker 3>he gets. I mean, somebody did a front flip when

0:43:17.520 --> 0:43:18.759
<v Speaker 3>we saw the game the other day.

0:43:19.200 --> 0:43:19.359
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:43:19.440 --> 0:43:21.640
<v Speaker 3>I thought it was cool. But I think that, you know,

0:43:21.640 --> 0:43:24.879
<v Speaker 3>he's gonna have guys like Joey Bosa pulling up on him,

0:43:24.960 --> 0:43:26.959
<v Speaker 3>and I don't know if that's the same type of stuff.

0:43:27.000 --> 0:43:30.200
<v Speaker 3>It's gonna fly. But I mean, obviously, athleticism is gonna

0:43:30.200 --> 0:43:33.560
<v Speaker 3>follow you wherever you go. But uh, but I'm curious

0:43:33.560 --> 0:43:35.200
<v Speaker 3>to see how it translates to the pros.

0:43:36.000 --> 0:43:39.120
<v Speaker 2>But do you think of the environment at the USC?

0:43:39.800 --> 0:43:42.319
<v Speaker 3>It was crazy, It was crazy. It was It was

0:43:42.360 --> 0:43:44.719
<v Speaker 3>the most people that I've been around in a very

0:43:44.800 --> 0:43:49.120
<v Speaker 3>long time. It was like so many people. Man, energy

0:43:49.200 --> 0:43:51.960
<v Speaker 3>was great. Uh. I really like the music that the

0:43:52.000 --> 0:43:54.279
<v Speaker 3>band was playing a lot of familiar songs that I

0:43:54.360 --> 0:43:56.520
<v Speaker 3>just didn't expect them to like do it instrumental to.

0:43:57.160 --> 0:43:59.440
<v Speaker 3>But uh, but yeah, no, it was. It was a

0:43:59.480 --> 0:44:02.320
<v Speaker 3>great experiens. No defense was played. Got to see a

0:44:02.320 --> 0:44:04.160
<v Speaker 3>lot of offense. It's very cool.

0:44:05.880 --> 0:44:08.880
<v Speaker 2>Who's wearing the Michigan outfit? And why are they wear

0:44:09.120 --> 0:44:09.800
<v Speaker 2>Michigan outfit?

0:44:09.840 --> 0:44:14.760
<v Speaker 3>To Quincy Quincy Quincy, I'm so sorry.

0:44:15.040 --> 0:44:19.839
<v Speaker 2>Just drop an F bombs. You're saying one hundred percent,

0:44:20.560 --> 0:44:29.120
<v Speaker 2>one hundred, one hundred all right, So go through the

0:44:29.200 --> 0:44:30.919
<v Speaker 2>questions as they start with Joe Joey.

0:44:31.360 --> 0:44:34.040
<v Speaker 3>Joey Demontel said, Nick, do you think C. J. Stroud

0:44:34.080 --> 0:44:36.160
<v Speaker 3>has the potential to be a top three quarterback in

0:44:36.200 --> 0:44:37.520
<v Speaker 3>the league with Mahomes and Burrow?

0:44:39.200 --> 0:44:43.839
<v Speaker 2>But sure, I mean the I mean a fun exercise

0:44:43.920 --> 0:44:48.960
<v Speaker 2>that I was doing the uh yesterday off the air,

0:44:49.239 --> 0:44:52.680
<v Speaker 2>was you get any quarterback you want just take Caleb

0:44:52.719 --> 0:44:54.680
<v Speaker 2>out of it. Just guys, are the pros for the

0:44:54.800 --> 0:44:58.239
<v Speaker 2>next decade. Mahomes is the first pick, Burrows the second pick.

0:44:58.840 --> 0:45:03.960
<v Speaker 2>Who's the third? Some would argue Lamar, some would argue Jalen.

0:45:04.680 --> 0:45:07.719
<v Speaker 2>I think CJ would get some votes. I think see

0:45:07.760 --> 0:45:10.520
<v Speaker 2>if we're talking long term, I think Seed. I think Trevor.

0:45:10.600 --> 0:45:14.719
<v Speaker 2>Obviously some would argue Trevor, but he's put himself. He

0:45:14.800 --> 0:45:17.719
<v Speaker 2>has acquitted himself as well as someone can through half

0:45:17.760 --> 0:45:19.439
<v Speaker 2>a season, all right.

0:45:19.480 --> 0:45:24.600
<v Speaker 3>Next Daniel christ Chriss, Should the Packers be throwing the

0:45:24.680 --> 0:45:27.319
<v Speaker 3>rest of throwing the rest of their season? Do they

0:45:27.360 --> 0:45:29.760
<v Speaker 3>have a chance for a good quarterback in the draft.

0:45:30.600 --> 0:45:32.279
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that they have to throw the rest

0:45:32.320 --> 0:45:34.920
<v Speaker 2>of their season. I mean they might just be losing games.

0:45:35.440 --> 0:45:37.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean the Packers are really really bad now. They

0:45:38.000 --> 0:45:40.840
<v Speaker 2>have games left against the Giants, Panthers, and Bears.

0:45:41.400 --> 0:45:43.000
<v Speaker 3>So I the that.

0:45:43.320 --> 0:45:47.080
<v Speaker 2>But somebody I believe in Shador as at least an

0:45:47.160 --> 0:45:50.160
<v Speaker 2>interesting NFL prospect, and he's not gonna go top five

0:45:50.239 --> 0:45:53.440
<v Speaker 2>if he goes in this year's draft. Now, I'd be

0:45:53.600 --> 0:45:56.239
<v Speaker 2>very interesting for to see Shador be like, Hey, guess

0:45:56.239 --> 0:45:58.280
<v Speaker 2>what should or are you're going to Green Bay, Wisconsin,

0:45:58.400 --> 0:46:02.200
<v Speaker 2>have fun and so but I mean the Packers, obviously

0:46:02.239 --> 0:46:04.399
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna have to move off love. I think after

0:46:04.520 --> 0:46:07.200
<v Speaker 2>this year, all right, and let's go to.

0:46:08.680 --> 0:46:08.839
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:46:10.280 --> 0:46:13.040
<v Speaker 2>Actually, you know what Deco Bird wanted to ask about

0:46:13.040 --> 0:46:15.279
<v Speaker 2>the NBA In season tournament. I need to see more

0:46:15.320 --> 0:46:18.000
<v Speaker 2>of it. We only saw the one games of pool play,

0:46:18.440 --> 0:46:21.760
<v Speaker 2>and Ali said, DEMANDE quit fading the ravens and your teasers.

0:46:21.840 --> 0:46:24.080
<v Speaker 2>All good points. I gotta get to work. I'll see

0:46:24.120 --> 0:46:27.719
<v Speaker 2>you guys out Colin today around one o'clock Eastern. I'll

0:46:27.760 --> 0:46:29.560
<v Speaker 2>see you on First Things versus Three? What's right
