It led me to just reference the 25 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 2: fact that I once had to have stitches in the 26 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 2: same finger. Is it your middle finger, demansee? No, the 27 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 2: same finger that Demonse's having issues with because I try 28 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 2: to juggle a broken glass bottle. That story is actually 29 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 2: wilder and funnier than it sounds, and it didn't involve alcohol. 30 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,039 Speaker 2: It didn't involve We'll tell that story in twenty minutes, 31 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 2: but let's get right to it.

Today started with Jalen Hurts. 48 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 3: He suffered a shoulder shoulder injury last weekend against the Bears. Yep, 49 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 3: so Gardner minshe Gardner Minshew is starting versus Dallas and 50 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,959 Speaker 3: the Cowboys are big favorites obviously, yep. This is great 51 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 3: news for Patrick Mahomes, which now has a straight shot 52 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 3: to MVP. But uh is Philly the best? Is Philly 53 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 3: the best team the NFC? If Hurts isn't one hundred 54 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 3: percent for the. 55 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,239 Speaker 2: Playoffs, absolutely not. I don't think the best team in 56 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 2: the NFC if he is. I think San Francisco is 57 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,119 Speaker 2: the best team in the NFC. But they obviously need 58 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 2: Hurts fully operational. This is not going to be. I 59 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 2: wouldn't imagine a situation like Carson Wentz goes down, Nick 60 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 2: Foles comes in, goes on a magical ride they win 61 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,119 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. That team, Listen, Minshew is a good backup. 62 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 2: He is not what Jalen Hurts has been so far 63 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 2: this year, so they need Hurts back. With that said, guys, there, 64 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 2: I don't want to sound like old school football yelling 65 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 2: at a cloud guy, but there is a reason that 66 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 2: for the entirety of NFL history, teams have not wanted 67 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 2: their quarterback to be their primary running threat, and what 68 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 2: we have seen this year is validation of that. Right now, 69 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 2: let me be clear, having your quarterback, having a quarterback 70 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 2: that is not a pure drop back passer and can 71 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 2: beat you with his legs is a massive edge and 72 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 2: a massive advantage, and it is hard too in modern 73 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 2: NFL to overcome if you don't have that. Burrow can 74 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 2: do it, Herbert can do it, but almost all the 75 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 2: other excellent quarterbacks add a dimension with their legs. But 76 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 2: that needs to be something that is done in case 77 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 2: of emergency, not what you build your offense around. And 78 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 2: Josh Allen can beat you with his arm, but he 79 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 2: also quarterback designed runs are a massive part of what 80 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 2: the Bills do and they're almost unguardable, indefensible. I should 81 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 2: say with that said, Josh Allen's got a banged up 82 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 2: elbow and has had it for weeks now, and they 83 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 2: keep running him. That would concern me. Lamar running almost 84 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 2: has to be a part of his game. Not shockingly, 85 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 2: for the second straight year, He's hurt. Tyler is hurt 86 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:23,919 Speaker 2: and with a serious injury. Jalen Hurts is hurt. So 87 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 2: there is a real some injuries in the NFL, are 88 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 2: fluke or random nothing you could do some spots. You've 89 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 2: got to make responsible decisions and how you use these guys. 90 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 2: Justin Well, it hurt, he got he got banged up 91 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 2: in that last game. Now I with with Justin Fields 92 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 2: and with Lamar fields where he is now and Lamar 93 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 2: it just seemed I mean, he hasn't evolved enough as 94 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 2: a passer yet, and I don't know at this point, 95 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 2: I don't know if you will. I understand the idea 96 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 2: of well, that is the best part of their game, 97 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 2: so we're not gonna take it out. Jalen has shown 98 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 2: enough evolution as a passer and Josh Allen certainly that 99 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 2: I would be more judicious with it. Mahomes is a 100 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 2: great runner. He's not that fast, but he runs to 101 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 2: open area and he's effected. But the Chiefs do that 102 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 2: in case of emergency, and they never do designed quarterback runs. 103 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 2: All of Mahomes's runs are scrambles. With the Eagles, they 104 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 2: they've solved third and one and fourth and one. How 105 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 2: have they done it by having Jalen Hurts run directly 106 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 2: into the back of the offensive line than having two 107 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 2: guys shove him in the back. So you have your 108 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 2: franchise quarterback with twenty one guys on the field all 109 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 2: hitting him from different angles. That's risky, just flatly risky. 110 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 2: And so I think that is something these teams have 111 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 2: to consider. That's first of all. Second of all, on 112 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 2: the Mahomes MVP thing, I told you guys when it 113 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 2: became Mahomes versus Hurts that just wait long enough. And 114 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 2: if Hurts fell off, and at this point he hasn't 115 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 2: fallen off, but he had throw a couple picks last 116 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 2: week and now he's going to miss a game, they 117 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 2: will create a new contender. Mark my words. If the 118 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 2: Bengals beat the Patriots this weekend, which they should, the 119 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 2: narrative on all the shows next week will be, oh, 120 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 2: if Joe Burrow and the Bengals beat Josh Allen, is 121 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 2: he the real MVP? So it's going to the narrative 122 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 2: will have gone Mahomes versus Allen to Mahomes versus Hurts 123 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 2: to Mahomes versus Borough. Tua was almost in it at 124 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 2: one point, but then he fell off instead of just 125 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 2: acknowledging that the most talented player whose team has the 126 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 2: second best record in football, who has the most yards 127 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 2: by a mile, the most touchdowns by a mile, and 128 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 2: a passer rating higher than all the other MVP candidates, 129 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 2: that he's the MVP. Folks are going to try to 130 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 2: create a two person race, even if that second person 131 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 2: is just constantly changing. All right, next, All right, you 132 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 2: said the Jags are. 133 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 3: Gonna run the table and make the playoffs, Just say 134 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,199 Speaker 3: that Tonight they have to play Sauce Gardner and the 135 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 3: Jets on the road on a short week. Yep, Trevor's 136 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 3: won two road games in his career. It's gonna be freezing, 137 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 3: and he's just lost his left tackle. 138 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 2: Yep. 139 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,839 Speaker 3: Do we have to physically restrain you from betting the 140 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 3: Jags or you a lost cause? 141 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm gonna bet the Jags, but 142 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 2: they're gonna win Okay, their defense is gonna make I mean, 143 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 2: here's the thing, if the Jets had Mike White playing, 144 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 2: I'd feel differently about this, because the Jets defense is excellent, 145 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 2: and I do and I am bummed that Trevor loss 146 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 2: is left tackle. But Zach Wilson's a terrible, terrible player, 147 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 2: and at least he has been. That sounded more harsh 148 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 2: than I meant it too, but he's bad. And the 149 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 2: Jags are gonna win, and the Titans don't have Tannehill, 150 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,439 Speaker 2: and the Jags are gonna go to the playoffs. And 151 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 2: I'm telling you right now, the possible five seeds in 152 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 2: the AFC, the likely five seeds are the Ravens, the Chargers, 153 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,839 Speaker 2: or the Dolphins. I don't think any of them want 154 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 2: to see the Jacks. Now, the other division winners are 155 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 2: going to be the Chiefs, Bills, and Bengals, so I 156 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 2: suppose they would rather see the Jags than see those teams. 157 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 2: But the Jags are going to be hosting a playoff game, 158 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 2: just like Peyton Manning in year two. Trevor Lawrence is 159 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 2: going to win to win the AFC South and host 160 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,559 Speaker 2: a playoff game in year two. Now, Peyton, I think 161 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 2: was thirteen and three when he did it, but still 162 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 2: the point stands, and me never abandoning the prince that 163 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 2: was promised is one of my best sports takes ever. 164 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 2: What Demonsey, what are you shaking? No? I stopped betting him. 165 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:18,199 Speaker 2: I never abandoned him. I absolutely never abandoned him. Fourteen touchdowns, 166 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,959 Speaker 2: one pick over the last six weeks, the league's highest 167 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 2: passer rating, all of these things, and uh we will. 168 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 2: There's one other point that I wanted to, oh yeah 169 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 2: about the Jets. Just I threw this out on TV 170 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 2: yesterday briefly, Just let let the chat marinate on this. Okay, 171 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 2: this offseason AFC East quarterback trade, both from the same 172 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 2: draft class, both falling out of favor with their teams. 173 00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 2: Who says no to Zach for Mac? Who says no 174 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 2: to Zach Wilson for Mac Jones? Straight up? I don't 175 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 2: know if Gabe's with us today, would but I don't 176 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:18,319 Speaker 2: think Belichick likes Mac Jones Zach Wilson. 177 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 3: That he didn't like Mac Jones, and he's gonna take 178 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 3: a liking to Zach Willion. 179 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 2: Well, Zach Wilson at least has physical tools, and if 180 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 2: he thinks the problem with the Jets is they're the Jets. 181 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 2: It's been coaching. Meanwhile, the Jets just want a quarterback 182 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 2: that will play the way Mac Jones played as a rookie. 183 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,839 Speaker 2: You know what I mean. Don't make mistakes. It to me. 184 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 2: Both those guys are, I believe, done with their respective teams. 185 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 2: I think Ma's fallen out of favor and Zach Wilson 186 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 2: has clearly falling out of favor, but they're both on 187 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 2: rookie contracts. I think Zach Wilson for Mac Jones is 188 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,719 Speaker 2: an interesting my problem for your problem. See who can 189 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 2: solve it? Just like it and just just let it 190 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 2: marinate folks. Okay, all right, next. 191 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 3: No, No, I think there. We're gonna make a poll 192 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 3: for it. Maybe we'll answer it later Jack, but I'm 193 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 3: guessing is gonna happen. But yeah, there's that poll. 194 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 2: In Okay, So we're gonna make a poll for Mac. 195 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 2: Verzak who says no. So make the options. I don't 196 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 2: know if we can do multiple options like this, but 197 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 2: the options, Uh, Jets say no, Patriots say no, both 198 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 2: say no, both say yes. Right, make that the four options. 199 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 2: I think they both say yes. By the way. Seventy 200 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,839 Speaker 2: seven percent of our audience on the Jags plus a 201 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 2: point and a half, all right, next to Monsea. 202 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 4: All right. The race for the AFC one seed is 203 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 4: a close one. 204 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,599 Speaker 3: The Bills currently sit at the top with the tiebreaker 205 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 3: over Kansas City. The Bengals and Chiefs have a real 206 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 3: shot at taking taking over by the end of the season. Yeah, 207 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 3: all three teams are favorite to win this week and 208 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 3: Buffalo and since he play next week, Buffalo is the 209 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 3: favorite favorite to. 210 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:55,959 Speaker 4: Be the number one seed. 211 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 3: But you can you can get Kansas City at plus 212 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 3: one thirty yea, and the Bengal that plus seven hundred. 213 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 4: Who are you putting your money on? 214 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,839 Speaker 2: Okay, I think Kansas City is gonna be the one seed. 215 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 2: Kansas City as Seahawks Denver Raiders to end the season. 216 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 4: And you think the Bills are gonna lose to Cincinnati. 217 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 2: I think the Bills are gonna lose once so but 218 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 2: but let me walk through this real quick. I believe 219 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 2: the Raiders come Week eighteen are going to be mathematically eliminated. 220 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 2: So I if the Raiders were playing for a playoff 221 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 2: spot in Week eighteen, that's a tough game. It's a 222 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 2: talented Raiders team that only lost by one the first 223 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 2: time they played Kansas City. But if they got mathematically 224 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,079 Speaker 2: eliminated the week before, which I think they will have, 225 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 2: that's a much easier game. The Broncos stink, and the 226 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 2: Chiefs are gonna be the Seahawks this week, so I 227 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 2: don't think the Bills are going to go undefeated. They 228 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:53,319 Speaker 2: almost lost last week to the Dolphins. They're at Chicago, 229 00:13:54,200 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 2: then at Cincinnati, and then home for New England. If 230 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:05,239 Speaker 2: I were to bet this, however, Cincinnati is an intriguing 231 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 2: bet because if Cincinnati runs the table, they just need 232 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 2: Kansas City to lose once. The Bills will lose. By definition, 233 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 2: if Cincinnati runs the table, because it will have lost 234 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 2: to Cincinnati, they would just if Cincinnati runs the table, 235 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 2: they need the Chiefs to lose once. So Cincinnati at 236 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 2: seven to one is the most intriguing value proposition, But 237 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 2: I think the Chiefs are gonna get it. It is 238 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 2: gonna be a really assuming Let's just assume all three 239 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 2: win this week and Cincinnati wins next week, then all 240 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 2: three teams have to go all out in week eighteen, 241 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 2: because they will. If that happens, Cincinnati, Buffalo, Kansas City 242 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 2: will all be alive for the one, the two, or 243 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 2: the three. So in a weird spot where if they 244 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 2: beat Cincinnati again, assuming they all win this week, Okay, 245 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 2: if Buffalo beats Cincinnati, then Buffalo just has to beat 246 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 2: the Patriots in week eighteen and they're the one seed 247 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 2: and Cincinnati, if they lose to Buffalo, is essentially locked 248 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 2: into the three. But if Cincinnati wins that game, then 249 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 2: the and assuming the Chiefs beat the Broncos going into 250 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 2: week seven week eighteen, the Chiefs would be thirteen and three. 251 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 2: Buffalo and Cincinnati would both be twelve and four, but 252 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 2: Cincinnati would have the tybereaker over Buffalo. Both of them 253 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 2: would have the tybereaker over in Kansas City to where 254 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 2: if Cincinnati, if Kansey were lose in week eighteen, Kancy 255 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 2: would fall all the way to the three line. So 256 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 2: there's not gonna be any resting for any of these teams, 257 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 2: and that, by the way, I'm gonna tell you the 258 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 2: worst case scenario for any of these teams is you 259 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 2: don't get to give yourself if you were to be 260 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 2: eliminated from contention for the one seed and just like 261 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 2: locked in to the three line, for instance, you can 262 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 2: rest in week eighteen, you can just give yourself a buye. 263 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 2: But if you're still alive for the one seed and 264 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 2: you gotta play all out in week eighteen and then 265 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 2: don't get the one seed, you don't get a buye, 266 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 2: and that's gonna happen. I think that's gonna be the scenario. 267 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 2: I think all of these teams are gonna have to 268 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 2: play all out the final three weeks of the year, 269 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 2: and only one of them's gonna end up with a bye. 270 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 2: We'll see who it is. It Right now, Buffalo is 271 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 2: in the pole position, but I don't think Buffalo is 272 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 2: running the table to rest the way, It's one of 273 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 2: the most interesting races at top a conference that I 274 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 2: can remember, with three teams not tied but damn near tied, 275 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 2: and two of them play each other in week seventeen. 276 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 3: All right, last, all right? Lebron and Luca go head 277 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 3: to head on Christmas Day. 278 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 2: Yep. 279 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 3: Not sure how you're gonna mentally handle this game. The 280 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 3: Lakers started off slow, but of an add a nice 281 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 3: comeback before Anthony Davis went down, and the MAVs started 282 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 3: off hot to struggle lately and are now below five hundred. 283 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 3: What are you gonna do when both of you guys 284 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 3: don't make the playoffs. 285 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:12,159 Speaker 2: Okay, that's not gonna happen. The idea, the idea that 286 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 2: they both missed the playoffs is almost impossible. One of 287 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 2: them missing the playoffs is on the board the Lakers, listen. 288 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 2: I think the Lakers are gonna be able to tread 289 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 2: water without Ad. But Lebron last night was thirty one, 290 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 2: six and eleven and they lost by double digits to 291 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:35,159 Speaker 2: the Kings. If they don't make a move, It'd be 292 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 2: one thing if they were playing if they were losing 293 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 2: these games and Lebron wasn't playing well. Lebron's playing excellent, 294 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 2: and they're just not good enough. Here's the reason that 295 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 2: I don't think they both can miss the playoffs. Denver 296 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 2: well miss the play in. Could they miss the playoffs, Yeah, 297 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 2: they could. But Denver, Memphis, New Orleans, Phoenix are basically 298 00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 2: to me locked into the playoffs. The Clips are close 299 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 2: to You can't call him locked in because of the 300 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,640 Speaker 2: injury stuff with Kawhi and Paul George, but call them 301 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 2: in and the Kings could fall off, but they're playing well. Okay, 302 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 2: those right now are your top six seeds. Portland to me, 303 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 2: is a question mark, Utah is a question mark. Dallas 304 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 2: is right there, and then there's Minnesota tied with Dallas, 305 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,880 Speaker 2: and then Golden State by the way, the Lakers behind 306 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 2: to okay see at the moment, Golden State okay see 307 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 2: and the Lakers and take you for down eleven, twelve, thirteen. 308 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 2: As far as making the play in Dallas is going 309 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 2: to be final, making the play in the Lakers hopefully will. 310 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 2: We'll see how long ad is out making the playoffs, 311 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 2: though it's not a guarantee, and it is hard that 312 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 2: both of these teams. Listen, I picked the Maps to 313 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 2: make the finals. That doesn't look like they have the 314 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 2: team for that. I'm not going to deny. I mean, 315 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,159 Speaker 2: Luke is unbelievable, but the team around him has not 316 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 2: been what I thought it would be. 317 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 3: What I don't know, maybe it's my first time hearing 318 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 3: you say this, but when the heck did you choose 319 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 3: the MAVs. 320 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 4: That go to the finals this year? 321 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 2: Before the season they made the Western Conference finals last. 322 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 3: Year and then traded Jalen Brunson And you're like, walk 323 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 3: they let Jallen Brunson walk. 324 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 2: No, I understand that it was it was maybe uh 325 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 2: you know you've benefitted from this at times. You know 326 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,360 Speaker 2: I have an outsized belief in my sons. Uh and 327 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 2: so uh, I'm gonna be honest, this was not my 328 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 2: greatest the last few minutes analysis of the NBA playoff picture, 329 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 2: I have not really considered the possibility that both Lebron 330 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 2: and Luca missed the playoffs. It would be damning for Luca, 331 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 2: a guy who I think has a chance to go 332 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 2: down will go down as one of the ten greatest 333 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 2: players ever. He can't miss the playoffs. I don't think 334 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,360 Speaker 2: he will. He has to be able to draft this 335 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,880 Speaker 2: team to at least the playoffs and then see what happens. 336 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,199 Speaker 2: The Lakers right now roster is super flawed without ad 337 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 2: Nad's heart again, so they're very hard to evaluate until 338 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 2: you see what trade they make. There's little rumblings about 339 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 2: a potential Russ and both the firsts for Bradley Beal. Now, 340 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 2: that would be a fascinating trade and help the Lakers 341 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,679 Speaker 2: a lot, even though deals on a crazy contract that 342 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 2: would change the math. The Lakers are just hard to 343 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 2: evaluate until you get the full roster. But we're now 344 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 2: thirty games in, so at some point it becomes too late. 345 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 2: What helps both of these teams is the Warriors stink 346 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 2: and the Warriors, which are one of the teams that 347 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,679 Speaker 2: everyone thought was locked into the playoffs right now, is 348 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 2: just to game up on the Lakers themselves, and they 349 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,360 Speaker 2: don't have Steph for the next month, so the Warriors 350 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,919 Speaker 2: could open up a playoff spot. All right, take a 351 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 2: quick break, come back, I'll tell the story about when 352 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 2: I try to juggle a broken glass bottle. 353 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,719 Speaker 5: This episode is brought to you by Unstoppable.

In episode one, Oh wait, what's 362 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,400 Speaker 2: right with Nick? Right? Before we get to the rest 363 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,719 Speaker 2: of our show, a few polls from the first segment 364 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 2: to address I proposed in the offseason Mac Jones for 365 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 2: Zach Wilson trade. 366 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 4: Uh. 367 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 2: Who says no? The audience says forty five percent of 368 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 2: the audience says New England says no, nine percent of 369 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 2: the audience say the Jets say no, thirty four percent 370 00:21:55,640 --> 00:22:00,080 Speaker 2: says both say no, and only ten percent say they 371 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:05,439 Speaker 2: both say yes. That's a that's I. I. How what 372 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 2: are y'all talking about? How can they both say no? 373 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:13,199 Speaker 2: How can the Jet How can the Jets not be 374 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 2: on board with this? So forty nine percent say the 375 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 2: Jets say no, in thirty four percent they both say no, 376 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 2: So forty three percent of you think the Jets are like, no, 377 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 2: We're gonna ride with Zach Wilson. They made him third 378 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 2: string before the Mike White and Joe Flacco got give 379 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:34,160 Speaker 2: me a break. And as far as the Patriots, they 380 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 2: they they should be going with Zappy right now. You 381 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 2: guys are wrong. I'm just telling you the audience wrong. 382 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:45,359 Speaker 2: As far as who makes the playoffs, Uh, ten percent 383 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 2: say the Lakers, fifty three percent say the MAVs, twenty 384 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 2: eight percent say both neither say seven percent Okay, that's 385 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 2: about right. From the audience there all right. Now a story. 386 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 2: So Demanse gashed his finger by slamming it in. He 387 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 2: got closed in a in a door and it's cut badly, 388 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 2: like right across here, and he probably should have gotten 389 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 2: a stitch. You didn't get a stitch. 390 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:08,400 Speaker 4: You'll be all right. 391 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,159 Speaker 2: I have two stories to tell. The first one is 392 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 2: a heartwarming story. The other one is a funny story 393 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 2: about my childhood. When Demanse's mom and I first started dating, 394 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 2: we couldn't have been dating more than three months. You, 395 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 2: I'm sure you don't remember that. Well, I'm sure you 396 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 2: do remember it. Yeah, you tripped outside of someone's house 397 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 2: and it was they had those like cement steps leading 398 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,120 Speaker 2: up to the door with one of those raw iron handrails, 399 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 2: and you slipped and gashed your face right on right 400 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,879 Speaker 2: where your eye socket is, right on your eyebrow and 401 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 2: cut it badly. And I was out to dinner and 402 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 2: your mom me, and it was like, what should we do? 403 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 2: I think he needs stitches. I don't know if he 404 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:10,359 Speaker 2: needs stitches. And the neighborhood that you lived in at 405 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 2: the time, it's in the inner city in Kansas City. 406 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 2: The emergency room there, you'd be there for ten hours. 407 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 2: So I told your mom, I said, take him to 408 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 2: the fire station off sixty third Street, and she was 409 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 2: And if people don't know, if people that are watching 410 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,640 Speaker 2: don't know, my dad was a firefighter for forty years, 411 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 2: was president of the union for thirty years, and I 412 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 2: used to kind of work with the fire department, drove 413 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 2: around different fire stations and sold firefighter apparel to different firefighters. 414 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 2: So I knew all these guys, and they all knew 415 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 2: my dad. And all the firefighters, all of them are 416 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 2: EMTs and some of them are paramedics. I was like, 417 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,679 Speaker 2: you're right by a fire station that I know. One 418 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 2: of the guys guy's name was Chris Ziglinski Ald not 419 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 2: older now but at the time, relatively young Polish guy 420 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 2: that had worked with my day. I had a great dude. 421 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 2: I was like, just go there, knock on the door 422 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,639 Speaker 2: and tell him who you are. And your mom was 423 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 2: real skeptical, and she did it, and the firefighter opened 424 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 2: the door and it wasn't Ziggie who opened the door 425 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 2: and was like hello, and the way your mom she's like, yeah, 426 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:27,120 Speaker 2: my son fell and you know he's bleeding. And they 427 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 2: were like, okay, well we can give you some gauze 428 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 2: or something. You need to go to the hospital. She's like, yeah, 429 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 2: I knew that, but my boyfriend said he knows. You guys, 430 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 2: They're like huh, and your mom was like my boyfriend's 431 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 2: nick right, And Ziggy heard it and said, oh, nicky, 432 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,679 Speaker 2: and then brought you guys in and gave you what 433 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 2: was called new skin and said, put this on some 434 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 2: butterfly bandages. It could use a stitch, but it doesn't 435 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,360 Speaker 2: have to have one. And then I tended to that 436 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 2: wound for like two two months, for real, like every 437 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 2: we had to do it, and there's not even a 438 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,120 Speaker 2: scar there anymore. Your eyebrows grew over it. It was right there. 439 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 2: It was right there. Okay. So that's that story. That 440 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 2: was like me and Demonse's first real bonding moment because 441 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 2: me and his mom were so new. Demanse was ten 442 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 2: years old, nine years old and somewhat skeptical of me. Okay, 443 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,639 Speaker 2: Now to my story about messing up my finger. So 444 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 2: I had seen on the David Letterman Show someone had 445 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:33,440 Speaker 2: broken glass beer bottles and juggled it. Okay. I used 446 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,879 Speaker 2: to love ib C root beer, the root beer that 447 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 2: came in a you a glass bottle. And it was 448 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 2: summer and I was like twelve years old, and I 449 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 2: was walking across the street with my IBC root beer 450 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:52,439 Speaker 2: and I dropped it and the bottom of it broke 451 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 2: and it looked just like the bottle. And I'm with 452 00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 2: my friends and I lived. This is in the summer, 453 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 2: and I lived right but I used to climb a 454 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 2: fence from my house, go go across street to my 455 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 2: neighbor's yard, climb their fence. And I was at school. 456 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 2: My school butted up against my neighbor's backyard, so I 457 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 2: could just walk to school in five minutes. That's gonna 458 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 2: be relevant in a moment. So the bottle's broken. I 459 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,880 Speaker 2: throw it up in the air and I catch it 460 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 2: by the non broken part. But my friends aren't looking 461 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:35,120 Speaker 2: and they don't believe me. They're like, no, you didn't. 462 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 2: I was like, yes, I did. I did. Watch throw 463 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,959 Speaker 2: it again, catch it by the non broken part, and 464 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 2: it slices my finger right open, right open, and I'm like, oh, 465 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 2: this is bad. This is real bad. I was like, 466 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,160 Speaker 2: but I can't call my dad and be like, Dad, 467 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 2: I was juggling a broken glass bottle. Yeah, what do 468 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 2: I do? And I knew my school had a summer program. 469 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 2: So with my hand just dripping blood, I hopped the fence, 470 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 2: walked into my school, went to the nurse and said 471 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,120 Speaker 2: I cut my hand. She was like, oh my god, 472 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 2: how'd you do this? I was like, I fell in 473 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 2: the grass and there was a piece of glass and 474 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,199 Speaker 2: I cut myself. She's like, oh my god. And then 475 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 2: she stopped and she goes, hold on a second. Are 476 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 2: you enrolled in the summer program. I was like no. 477 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,880 Speaker 2: She was like, why are you here? And I said 478 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 2: I hurt myself. She said, you can't just come here 479 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 2: for medical attention. I was like, I need help. She 480 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 2: said you need to call your parents and said, no, 481 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 2: not call my parents. So she gave me like paper 482 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 2: towels and kicked me out. I was like, you got 483 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 2: to get out of here. We're not responsible for just 484 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 2: we're not a told her that you went to that school. 485 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 2: She knew me. Oh that's how she knew, but it 486 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 2: was July like I had nothing to do with the 487 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 2: school in that moment. Went in to my friend's house. 488 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 2: I was like, I I think I'm gonna be okay, 489 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 2: but I got to clean it and my buddy poured 490 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 2: hydrogen peroxide and this is a deep nose. It wasn't better. 491 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 2: I passed out hurt so much. I passed out on 492 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 2: his floor. So now I wake up. It was very brief, pat, 493 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 2: but I like fainted from the pain. I'm bleeding everywhere. 494 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 2: His mom heard me fall. She's like, what happened? It's 495 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 2: like a and again. Now I'm pot committed to this 496 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 2: story of I fell in the grass and cut my hand, 497 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 2: which makes no sense. So she's like, you have to 498 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 2: call your father. 499 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 4: Oh boy, I really got to call him. 500 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 2: Called him like, Dad, I cut my hand. I think 501 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 2: I need stitches, so I mean. He, to his credit, 502 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 2: you know, didn't worry about the circumstances of it, just 503 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 2: came and got me to to me to the hospital. 504 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 2: I got some stitches. As I'm meaning the stitches, he's like, so, 505 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 2: what happened again? Unlike I fell in the grass in 506 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 2: our front yard and there was a piece of glass there, 507 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 2: And he's like, okay, I think I'm an idiot, and 508 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 2: so I get the stitches. We go home, we pull 509 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 2: under the driveway. Yeah, he's like, I was like, what 510 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 2: are you doing. He's like, well, I don't want you 511 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 2: to happen again. We gotta find this glass. And I mean, 512 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 2: I don't know if I ever told him the truth 513 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 2: on it, but he knew that I was doing something dumb. 514 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 2: He knew I was doing something dumb. So that's my story. 515 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 2: I hope that was a good story. All right, demanse, 516 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 2: let's get back to the show. Go ahead, all right, 517 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,479 Speaker 2: let's talk a little bit of golf, yup golf. 518 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 3: On Tuesday, the Masters announced any golfer who qualified based 519 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 3: on previous criteria will be invited to play in twenty 520 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 3: twenty three. So, after all that, the littour guys are 521 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 3: going to be able to pay the Masters play the Masters. 522 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, AUGUSTA chairman Fred Ridley said, our focus is 523 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 3: to honor the tradition of bringing together a preeminent field 524 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 3: of golfers is coming April. Was this a classy move 525 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 3: out the PGA or did Phil and the other lived 526 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 3: tour guys officially just win the argument? 527 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 2: Well, the Masters is like its own self contained thing 528 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 2: and they kind of make their own rules, So I 529 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 2: don't know that Phil and the live tour guys won 530 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 2: the argument. But this is obviously that in my opinion, 531 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 2: it's good for live golf and bad for the PGA 532 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:46,719 Speaker 2: Tour because one of the few real chips that the 533 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 2: PGA Tour was gonna be able to hold was if 534 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 2: you go play on the Live Tour, you're not gonna 535 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 2: be able to compete for all the majors, maybe any 536 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 2: of the majors, but now you are gonna be able 537 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 2: to compete for the Masters. For what it's worth, I 538 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 2: don't have as much much of a I'm not as 539 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 2: wrapped up in hating the Live Tour as some people are. 540 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 2: It's not that I support it. I've just been pretty 541 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 2: i't I've talked about this on the show before. I 542 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 2: think it's very hard to be a morally pure capitalist. 543 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 2: I understand that the Saudy government is on the far 544 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 2: end of the spectrum of people you wouldn't want to 545 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 2: be in business with. I get all of that. With 546 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 2: that said, it's for another day. The moral relativism of 547 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 2: how we all go about our lives, who we all 548 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 2: get paychecks from, where a lot of us get paychecks from, 549 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 2: it gets It's more complicated than PGA Tour good, Live 550 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 2: Golf bad. I think it's a little more nuanced than that. 551 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 2: But as a huge fan of the Masters, I am 552 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 2: glad that the best golfers alive, all of them, are 553 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 2: going to be able to play in it. So from 554 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 2: a purely selfish sports fan perspective, I'm. 555 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 3: Glad that this came about. All Right, what game are 556 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:01,239 Speaker 3: we playing today? We're playing this or that? Yeah, the 557 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 3: first one we've got here is the Vikings clinched the 558 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 3: NFC North in that ridiculous Colts game, yrazy comeback, and 559 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 3: now they play a suddenly a live Giants team. Gamblers 560 00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 3: are excited to bet against the bet against both quarterbacks 561 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,640 Speaker 3: in the playoffs. Quarterback you trust in the playoffs more? 562 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 3: Is Kirk Cousins or Daniel Jones. 563 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 2: I mean Kirk Cousins. I trust him more than Daniel 564 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 2: Jones in the playoffs. Neither's great. Also, it's absolutely in 565 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 2: play if the Vikings win this game, and I like 566 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 2: the Giants plus the points, that'll probably be one of 567 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 2: my picks for tomorrow. But it's absolutely in play if 568 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 2: the Vikings win this game. That this is Round one 569 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 2: of the playoffs. The seven seed Giants, who are currently 570 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,760 Speaker 2: the six, against the two seed Vikings, who are currently 571 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,959 Speaker 2: the two. So we might get this game in the postseason. 572 00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,560 Speaker 2: We might which would guarantee either Daniel Jones or Kirk 573 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:05,120 Speaker 2: Cousins makes round two. The Vikings are not a bad team, 574 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 2: but they're obviously not as good as the eleven and 575 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:11,360 Speaker 2: three record suggests, and their fortune in one score games 576 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:15,400 Speaker 2: is historic. But I will give them credit for not 577 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,720 Speaker 2: giving up against Indy in a game they could afford 578 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:20,880 Speaker 2: to lose because they have such a lead in the 579 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 2: division that they were gonna win the division no matter what. 580 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 2: I give them credit for that, and I trust Kirk 581 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,399 Speaker 2: a little bit more. Also, Kirk as justin Jefferson, which 582 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,839 Speaker 2: is obviously massively helpful. All right, Next, just. 583 00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,920 Speaker 3: Want to add crazy, how the narrative is now they 584 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,279 Speaker 3: play a Giants team that's suddenly alive given the start 585 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 3: of the Giants season. 586 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 4: What do you mean, I don't know he's saying. We 587 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 4: were saying the Giants are suddenly alive given I mean. 588 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 2: Six and one and then they fell apart and now yeah, absolutely, okay, 589 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:50,959 Speaker 2: I got you go ahead? 590 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:51,359 Speaker 4: All right. 591 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,040 Speaker 3: After starting one in seven, the Lions have won six 592 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,279 Speaker 3: out of seven and Dan Campbell is the Coach of 593 00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,239 Speaker 3: the Year favorite. They can enter the playoff picture as 594 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 3: soon as this week. The Lions will sneak in or 595 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,760 Speaker 3: miss out. All right, let's talk about this for a moment. 596 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:11,840 Speaker 2: So football outsiders playoff odds, which is something that I 597 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 2: value a lot. Let me pull it up the latest 598 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:23,279 Speaker 2: one have so we know. So there's gonna be two 599 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 2: playoff spots available for Giants, Washington, Seattle, and Detroit. Okay, 600 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:35,359 Speaker 2: the Giants are at ninety percent to get one of them. 601 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:40,560 Speaker 2: Let's just pencil them in. Okay, Washington's at twenty six percent, 602 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:49,120 Speaker 2: Detroit is at forty three percent, and Seattle is at 603 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:53,279 Speaker 2: thirty three percent, So not a huge discrepancy between any 604 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:57,840 Speaker 2: of them. Obviously, football outsiders likes Detroit's chances. So let's 605 00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:01,320 Speaker 2: look at their schedules. Okay, Detroit seven and seven, Seattle 606 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 2: seven and seven, and Washington is seven to six and one. 607 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 2: That tie is actually helping them quite a bit at 608 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 2: the moment. Washington the rest of the way. This week 609 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:15,800 Speaker 2: they're at the Niners, then they're home for the Browns, 610 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,200 Speaker 2: then home for the Cowboys in a game that likely 611 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:23,839 Speaker 2: will mean nothing for the Cowboys. That's critical, right, The 612 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:25,880 Speaker 2: Cowboy is probably going to be locked into the five 613 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 2: seed at that moment, so I would imagine the Commanders 614 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,520 Speaker 2: lose this week, win next week, and then play a 615 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,279 Speaker 2: Cowboys scene that might not be playing for anything. So 616 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,000 Speaker 2: they have a real good shot at getting to nine 617 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:42,040 Speaker 2: six and one. If they were to do that, then 618 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 2: Detroit or Seattle would have to run the table. Detroit 619 00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 2: the rest of the way has the Panthers, the Bears, 620 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 2: and the Packers. The Packers, I believe will be playing 621 00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:00,960 Speaker 2: for nothing in Week eighteen, will be officially eliminated. Will 622 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:05,120 Speaker 2: they play Jordan love will or will Rogers demand to play? 623 00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,600 Speaker 2: I don't know, but that's a nice schedule for the Packers. 624 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,200 Speaker 2: Seattle is in the roughest spot because they have the 625 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,839 Speaker 2: Chiefs this week, then they're home for the Jets, then 626 00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:22,000 Speaker 2: home for the Rams. So looking at those schedules, I 627 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 2: do think Detroit gets in. I think Detroit sneaks ink 628 00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:29,520 Speaker 2: to the playoffs. And that actually would mean I guess 629 00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,880 Speaker 2: I just said the Giants could be the seventh seed. 630 00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:34,919 Speaker 2: They're probably gonna be the sixth seed, but they could 631 00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:36,520 Speaker 2: be the seven seed. They'll probably gonna end up being 632 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,759 Speaker 2: the sixth seed. But yeah, I think Detroit sneaks in. 633 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,560 Speaker 2: Sneaks in all right, next, Okay, so. 634 00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,839 Speaker 3: We got Jeff Saturday benching Matt Ryan and naming Nick 635 00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:48,680 Speaker 3: Foles a starter against the Chargers on Monday. You said 636 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:52,120 Speaker 3: Saturday was incompetent and not trying to tank, But this 637 00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:55,440 Speaker 3: is the third quarterback change in five weeks and Foles 638 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,240 Speaker 3: didn't take any snaps with the first team since camp. 639 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,640 Speaker 4: Are you sure he's trying to win? Jeff Saturday is 640 00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:02,800 Speaker 4: trying or tanking? 641 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:07,000 Speaker 2: He's trying. He's trying. If you were tanking, yeah, you 642 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,520 Speaker 2: could just stick with Matt Ryan and just call seven 643 00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,040 Speaker 2: step drops and just having to fumble the ball and 644 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:15,320 Speaker 2: get annihilated. No, he doesn't know what he's doing. Yeah, 645 00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:19,680 Speaker 2: this is not five dimensional chess. This was This is 646 00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:24,000 Speaker 2: the quarterback the NFL coach version of when when Trump 647 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 2: had the press conference and he was like, bleach kills covid, 648 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:29,759 Speaker 2: I don't know, is there a way to drink it 649 00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:33,640 Speaker 2: like that? Wasn't him like playing somebody, Oh he understands 650 00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,760 Speaker 2: something we don't understand. It was just a guy who's 651 00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,640 Speaker 2: not that sharp, thinking on his feet, and it didn't 652 00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:44,360 Speaker 2: go well. Jeff's Saturday flailing as a head coach is 653 00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,920 Speaker 2: a guy who is not supposed to be a head coach. 654 00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:51,719 Speaker 2: That flail just making random choices and. 655 00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:55,120 Speaker 3: Then whenever something historic happens in a negative way, I 656 00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,919 Speaker 3: feel like it's gotta be something's off there. 657 00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they've been outscored eighty three nine in 658 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,400 Speaker 2: the fourth quarter since he took over. They blew a 659 00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,920 Speaker 2: thirty three point lead. Last week, they blew a thirty 660 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,680 Speaker 2: three point lead despite It's not even like the Vikings 661 00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:13,719 Speaker 2: played perfect. The Vikings threw a fourth quarter pick down 662 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:17,360 Speaker 2: two scores and still won the game. No, he's trying, 663 00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:20,080 Speaker 2: He's just terrible, All right, next, All right? 664 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 3: Matt Stafford announced his his spinal cord injury will not 665 00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:29,960 Speaker 3: force him to retire. Questions surround other Rams start stars 666 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,200 Speaker 3: heading into the offseason, and Detroit has their first round 667 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:38,040 Speaker 3: pick next year, the Rams will return or rebuild, Well. 668 00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:44,960 Speaker 2: They can't listen. Assuming Aaron Donald comes back, the Rams 669 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:48,160 Speaker 2: should be good next year, not great, but good. They 670 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:54,080 Speaker 2: must prioritize the offensive line this offseason. Stafford hopefully's over 671 00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:57,239 Speaker 2: the elbow injury. Cup will be back. Ramsey's got to 672 00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 2: play a little better. But what they have going for 673 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,760 Speaker 2: him is that division all of a sudden, not that tough, 674 00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 2: tough to win because of San Francisco, but I don't 675 00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,000 Speaker 2: know if Seattle is gonna be as good next year 676 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,480 Speaker 2: as they were surprisingly this year. Maybe they will, we'll see. 677 00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,920 Speaker 2: And Arizona is terrible, and the Rams are gonna get 678 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,239 Speaker 2: a last place schedule, which will help them for a 679 00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:25,960 Speaker 2: few games, a few easier games, so I listen. I 680 00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,719 Speaker 2: don't think the Rams are gonna contend for anything next year, 681 00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,360 Speaker 2: but I think they will at least return to being 682 00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:35,120 Speaker 2: a legitimate playoff contender as opposed to one of the 683 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:36,759 Speaker 2: worst teams in football as they were this year. 684 00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:41,040 Speaker 4: All right, last, right. The Week sixteen NFL schedule is crazy. 685 00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,640 Speaker 3: We have NFL games on four out of the next 686 00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:47,239 Speaker 3: five days. Red Zone is on on a Saturday. Do 687 00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,440 Speaker 3: you prefer your NFL every day or just on Sunday. 688 00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:53,239 Speaker 2: I like it on Sunday. I don't mind that we're 689 00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:56,560 Speaker 2: replacing Sunday with Saturday this week so it's not on 690 00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,280 Speaker 2: Christmas Day. I get that. I don't like the NFL 691 00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,800 Speaker 2: Christmas Day tripleheader. I I just don't. 692 00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:03,600 Speaker 4: Uh. 693 00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:07,240 Speaker 2: The thing with the NBA is I liked the NBA 694 00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:11,799 Speaker 2: on Christmas because you can kind of float in and 695 00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:13,640 Speaker 2: out of watching it, you know what I mean. You 696 00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,400 Speaker 2: don't have to sit and watch the entirety of every game. 697 00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,320 Speaker 2: You can watch the end of all the games, watch 698 00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:23,400 Speaker 2: one game in its entirety. I the NFL, to me, 699 00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:27,440 Speaker 2: is getting a little over zealous with the number of 700 00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:32,080 Speaker 2: days that we're expected to build our day around watching football. 701 00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,239 Speaker 2: It's the it's last Saturday and Sunday. It's now this 702 00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:38,319 Speaker 2: Saturday and Sunday. In the playoffs, it's gonna be every 703 00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,839 Speaker 2: Saturday and Sunday for the first few weeks. I just 704 00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:43,719 Speaker 2: it's a little too much. And I like the experience 705 00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:47,279 Speaker 2: of all so many games on Sunday and almost the 706 00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:51,279 Speaker 2: century overload. So it's a little too much. But they're not, 707 00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:53,719 Speaker 2: they're not. They're gonna keep going as long as the 708 00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:57,160 Speaker 2: ratings continue to be excellent.

Yeah, so listen, 731 00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:12,799 Speaker 2: I would like to do something. I don't know that 732 00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:16,720 Speaker 2: I actually can do it. So this is a soft promise, 733 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:22,200 Speaker 2: not a full promise. Anyone that has a smart TV 734 00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:27,600 Speaker 2: in a public venue where you can get YouTube that 735 00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:33,200 Speaker 2: puts this podcast on for the general public and takes 736 00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:38,200 Speaker 2: a picture, take a picture, tweet it at What's Right show, 737 00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,240 Speaker 2: I'm going to try to get some type of swag 738 00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,319 Speaker 2: to send you, okay, or I could just do a 739 00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:50,600 Speaker 2: cameo for him. Sure, we'll throw that in as well. 740 00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:53,560 Speaker 2: We'll throw in a Demonds cameo as well. That's a 741 00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:56,080 Speaker 2: good idea. I like that, all right? What are the 742 00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:57,360 Speaker 2: listener questions? Demanse? 743 00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:57,880 Speaker 4: All right? 744 00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:01,640 Speaker 3: Scott Frazier asked, if just Efferson goes for twenty one hundred, 745 00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,560 Speaker 3: can he get the MVP if Mahomes stumbles and Hurts 746 00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:05,320 Speaker 3: doesn't play. 747 00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:09,759 Speaker 2: No, just listen, Justin Jefferson's not going to get the MVP. Uh. 748 00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,360 Speaker 2: He could show up on ballots though, because they changed 749 00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:15,439 Speaker 2: the MVP voting to where instead of just one name, 750 00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:17,719 Speaker 2: you submit five names. So I think he can show 751 00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:21,680 Speaker 2: up on uh some ballots, but I don't think he 752 00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:23,080 Speaker 2: can win MVP. No, I don't. 753 00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:27,840 Speaker 3: Next, okay, Grand Minister omega ass I've seen a highlight 754 00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:30,719 Speaker 3: of Nick so smartly folding a two pair. I think 755 00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:34,239 Speaker 3: Jayson nine Jackson nine Jackson ye, Jackson nines to a 756 00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:35,800 Speaker 3: flush or a straight or something. 757 00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:37,839 Speaker 4: Was that the best fold. 758 00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:38,600 Speaker 2: You ever experienced? 759 00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:39,360 Speaker 4: What is here? 760 00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:41,560 Speaker 2: He's talking about a poker No, he's talking about a 761 00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:44,919 Speaker 2: poker clip of me folded on that the Poker Show. Yeah, 762 00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:52,080 Speaker 2: and one of the the the best fold I ever made. Uh, 763 00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:57,200 Speaker 2: it's actually not that interesting. But oh, look at what's 764 00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:01,040 Speaker 2: going on on our screen right now that they're trying 765 00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,640 Speaker 2: to show us. Right now, I see it. They're trying 766 00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,320 Speaker 2: to show the picture from LAX and it's creeping onto 767 00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:14,040 Speaker 2: the live screen right now. This is not the best 768 00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,160 Speaker 2: fold I ever made. I don't know. I don't have 769 00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:20,000 Speaker 2: a good quick way to tell the story. I had 770 00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:22,920 Speaker 2: ace jack on a jack high board and I folded 771 00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:27,399 Speaker 2: to one bet, and I'm sorry, I had ace jack 772 00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:29,600 Speaker 2: on an ace high board and I folded to one 773 00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:32,920 Speaker 2: bet and properly called out that the guy had Ace Queen. 774 00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:37,480 Speaker 2: And he was beside himself that I was correct, But 775 00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:40,560 Speaker 2: I need to give you the full context of it 776 00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:42,680 Speaker 2: as to why that was such a good fold. That's 777 00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:44,040 Speaker 2: not going to work in this format. 778 00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:46,200 Speaker 4: So he was like, literally just one card above you or. 779 00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:50,359 Speaker 2: Whatever, exactly right. He had me notched by one and 780 00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,840 Speaker 2: there was no reason for the bet size he made 781 00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,520 Speaker 2: and for all of it that I should fold, except 782 00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:59,360 Speaker 2: I just knew it, and so that was probably it, 783 00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:00,080 Speaker 2: all right, neck. 784 00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:04,560 Speaker 4: Anonymous ass if and win the Jags Jags in the. 785 00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:09,520 Speaker 2: Tampa t What do you think TPTWP stands for what 786 00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:11,239 Speaker 2: do you think, Sam prince that cost me a lot 787 00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:13,520 Speaker 2: of money, but the prince that would promise to make the playoffs? 788 00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:13,799 Speaker 4: Yeah? 789 00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:15,680 Speaker 3: Who would you like to see them play? And who 790 00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:17,239 Speaker 3: do you think they have a chance to beat? 791 00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:23,160 Speaker 2: I mean Jaggs, Ravens, Chargers is who they would play 792 00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:27,279 Speaker 2: one of the three? I'm sorry, Dolphins, Ravens, Chargers who 793 00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:29,120 Speaker 2: they would play one of the three. They could beat 794 00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:32,760 Speaker 2: any of those teams. They could absolutely be they could 795 00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,400 Speaker 2: beat any of those teams. I think the Chargers are 796 00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:38,160 Speaker 2: the best. The Ravens are the hardest to peg because 797 00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:42,440 Speaker 2: we don't know Lamar's health situation, and the Dolphins have 798 00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:46,000 Speaker 2: the biggest variance between their best game and their worst game. 799 00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:48,360 Speaker 2: But they could beat any of them. I would probably 800 00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:51,600 Speaker 2: pick to have them play the Ravens. I would probably 801 00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:56,840 Speaker 2: if I could set the playoffs perfectly, it would be 802 00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:03,480 Speaker 2: the Chiefs is the one, the Bills is, the two Bengals, 803 00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:09,800 Speaker 2: three Jags, four, with the Ravens as the five playing 804 00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:15,160 Speaker 2: the Jags, the Chargers as the six playing the Bengals, 805 00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:18,480 Speaker 2: and the Dolphins at the seven, giving us a third 806 00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:20,640 Speaker 2: game against the Bills. Because both those games have been 807 00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:22,399 Speaker 2: so good. All right, next? 808 00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:25,279 Speaker 3: All right, Grant Dorian asked Nick, do you think Justin 809 00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:28,440 Speaker 3: Fields will be on the Lamar Hurts trajectory starting next season? 810 00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:31,920 Speaker 3: Being another young, super athletic quarterback that excels in their 811 00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:32,840 Speaker 3: second year starting. 812 00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:35,920 Speaker 2: I think he could be if the Bears add a 813 00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:38,520 Speaker 2: lot of help. They need real receivers, they need an 814 00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:41,440 Speaker 2: offensive line. Luckily they have the cap space and the 815 00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:43,640 Speaker 2: draft picks to do it. The Bears right now would 816 00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:46,520 Speaker 2: have the second pick of the draft. I personally, if 817 00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:50,439 Speaker 2: I were them, would try to do the same type 818 00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:52,840 Speaker 2: of trade Miami did with San Francisco, where you trade 819 00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:54,520 Speaker 2: out of the top three for a team that wants 820 00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:57,240 Speaker 2: a quarterback, get a bunch of extra first round picks, 821 00:47:57,400 --> 00:47:59,680 Speaker 2: and rebuild my team that way. But I like Justin 822 00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:01,960 Speaker 2: Field a lot. And what he has going for him 823 00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:06,840 Speaker 2: that Lamar and Jalen don't is he's huge, six fours 824 00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:09,560 Speaker 2: in a half, like he's a big, big guy. Lamar 825 00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:12,240 Speaker 2: and Jalen are not that. Yeah. I like Justin Fields 826 00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,760 Speaker 2: if he can stay healthy. It's tough that style of play. 827 00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:17,399 Speaker 2: All Right, good show today, Good job Demanse, I gotta 828 00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:19,560 Speaker 2: go do television. We'll see you guys tomorrow for the 829 00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:27,720 Speaker 2: gambling show What's Right.
