Speaker 1: our regular Thursday recordings. Demons, how are you good doing it? Yeah?

10
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 2: Good to see you. Good to see you.

11
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: So I have a very funny story that I will

12
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: tell later in today's show that I have just shared

13
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: with some of our great producers at Volume and Blue

14
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: Duck about a real life scenario where I, forty something

15
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: year old, long time professional grandfather, national television and podcast host,

16
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: had to borrow money this weekend to gamble with from demons.

17
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: That happened, and so and it was as just the

18
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: way it should have gone. It was so close to

19
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: being so great, and yet instead it was really was

20
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: really really was right.

21
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 2: You know what?

22
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: How many stories have started like that? I was, I

23
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 1: was right there, But such is life. So that story

24
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: coming later in today's show. Right now, we will get

25
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: to straight to voicemail, brought to you by our friends

26
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: at boost Mobile. Draymond Green ejected himself after an argument

27
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: with Steve Kerr. The the juice is still worth the

28
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: squeeze with Draymond, but man, oh man, there's a lot

29
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: less juice and the squeezings getting a lot tougher, and

30
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: that you can kind of see how that could end.

31
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: Anthony Joshua knocks out Jake Paul and I'll be totally

32
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: honest here. That was we talked about that more? Did

33
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: we talk about that at all?

34
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 2: We did on Thursday? We did?

35
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, about the gambling opportunities from that, and that

36
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: one came through. Now the knockout rounds one through three

37
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,119
Speaker 1: did not at minus one thirty, but the knockout overall

38
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: at minus three seventy did. And two thoughts on that quickly.

39
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: One is I I was nervous watching that because I

40
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: bet Joshua for knockout or TKO like, but I would

41
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: not so I would not have won the bet if

42
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: it went to the cards, which I did not think

43
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: it was going to. First few rounds obviously Jake's running around.

44
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: I didn't love that, but I felt like but I

45
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: also would not have won the bet if Jake got

46
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: deq and I was worried with him, like consistently like

47
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: wrestling and falling, that they might deque him. But Joshua

48
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: called him with a clean right broke his jaw in

49
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 1: multiple places. And now I have to listen to people

50
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: telling me, you know how tough Jake Paul is. Listen.

51
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't doubt that he's tough. Doesn't change

52
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: the fact that he is a clown and the tongue

53
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: wagging and the whole he put himself in that position

54
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: to get his jaw broken, got his jaw broken, and

55
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: people were like, Wow, you can't question that guy. I

56
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: question that guy plenty. I'm glad for Anthony Joshua and

57
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: then DK metcalf so he's been suspended for two games.

58
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: That's gonna cost him more than half a million dollars

59
00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: in salary. It might cost the Steelers. Now, the Steelers

60
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: if they win against the Bronco I'm sorry again with

61
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: the Broncos against the Browns. They the Steelers have three

62
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: ways to make the playoffs. Way number one, they beat

63
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: the Browns, they're in way number two. The Ravens lose

64
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: to the Packers, then the Steelers are in way. Number

65
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: three is Steelers beat the Ravens in Week eighteen. But

66
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf obviously won't be playing in those games, so

67
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: that hurts them a bit. I still think they'll be

68
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: able to beat the Browns. I don't think it'll be

69
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: a problem. So I just want to spend a moment

70
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 1: here talking about what DK Metcalf did so and reminder

71
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: everybody like great subscriber review would be a great Christmas

72
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: present to us if we as we inch closer to

73
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: a quarter of a million subscribers, we're right short of

74
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty thousand. We're not going to get

75
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: to a quarter of a million by New Year's as

76
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: was our goal. If we could maybe approach it by

77
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl would be great. We'd have to really

78
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: pick up the numbers on YouTube, but they much love

79
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: to everyone who subscribes already. If you're just watching or

80
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: listening on iTunes or Spotify and not subscribed on an

81
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: audio platform and or on YouTube, would be greatly appreciated. So,

82
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: you know, demanse my general feeling on a few of

83
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: these topics. What is this? There is almost no one

84
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: more embarrassing to be around or be associated with than

85
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: the full grown, post college age adult that goes to

86
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: games to nastily taunt pro athletes. I don't like that

87
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: guy in any way, shape or form. I think that

88
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 1: is embarrassing behavior. I think it is shocking. Listen. I

89
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: think booing is fine. I think making noise, I think

90
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: the ACA visional well timed, wise crack. If it's actually

91
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: funny and witty, I think there is a room for

92
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: that in sports. But the thirty something year old, and

93
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that that's what this guy was, but

94
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: just in generically, the thirty something year old or old

95
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: or drunk idiot that is just being obnoxious and making

96
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: it uncomfortable for those around him. I don't like that person.

97
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: I also have a controversial belief, which is society as

98
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: a whole is better if people have a somewhat healthy

99
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 1: fear eh, Mike get punched in the face. I think that,

100
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: like there is the furthest logical conclusion of this is

101
00:06:54,560 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 1: I find no one more abhorrent or a certain a

102
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: porrent might be the wrong word obnoxious, then the streamer

103
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: idiot kids that walk around malls and stuff, Yeah, pulling pranks,

104
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: messing with people with their own security because they know

105
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: I can't get punched in the face. And I do

106
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: think that there is a healthy self policing that can

107
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: be done of if folks know, hey, yeah, maybe I'll

108
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,239
Speaker 1: be able to press charges. Maybe I you know, maybe

109
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: it's gonna ruin the other person's next few months. But

110
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: if I act in a certain manner, I might get

111
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: punched in the face, nut shot, not stabbed, not kicked

112
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: in the head while I'm on the ground, but a

113
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: quick little jab. If everybody knows that that's on the board,

114
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: I think people will conduct themselves with more grace and courtesy.

115
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: And we've lost that a little bit, just a little bit.

116
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: We've become a little too I would say, liberal with

117
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: words that are being allowed, while a little too conservative

118
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: with punches that are allowed. Just my personal that's not

119
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: and I don't mean that in a political sense. I

120
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: mean they the I think that old sticks and stones

121
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: will break my bones, but words will never harm me.

122
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: Nursery rhyme did a little damage to a generation guy,

123
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: and so uh and so I do think they're say

124
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: it again, you know, yeah, run away correct. I do

125
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: think there was a At times certain things you deserve

126
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: to get punched like I.

127
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 2: And have the facts come out about what was said.

128
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 3: Like DK was saying that he might have called him

129
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 3: something that you never call a black man. He was

130
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 3: saying that he just called DK by his original name

131
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 3: and is and like his original name.

132
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 2: So I think that that I.

133
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: Have seen with audio sound like the guy with the

134
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: blue wig is telling the truth. Yeah, that he didn't

135
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: say anything about his wife, his mother. He didn't say

136
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: a slur.

137
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 3: I think that's also a problem on dkse on DK

138
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 3: side because I understand like the fans shouldn't be there heckling,

139
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 3: but you also shouldn't put that on the fan that

140
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 3: he said that just because you want to go.

141
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a whole nother thing, which is the if

142
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 1: you tell me, and I don't you know, the if

143
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: you tell me no matter what race, creed, ethnicity, religion,

144
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: you are, somebody weaponizes that against you in the form

145
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: of a slur. That definitely checks the box for me

146
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 1: of you're allowed to punch that person. You're not. Again,

147
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: like I said, you can't shoot them, can't stab them,

148
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: can't if they're unconscious, kick him in the head. But

149
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: one quick punch to the face. They deserve it, and

150
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: I don't think a jury of your peers is going

151
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 1: to hold you accountable, just like you know what, I'm

152
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: gonna tell my story. So I now the flip side

153
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: to that coin is claiming that happened when it didn't

154
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 1: happen is an extra type of dirty and that that

155
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: is from the same branch of something you've heard me

156
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 1: say before, which is folks inability to take an l

157
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: these days, or folks inability to be like I screwed

158
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: up like that. So again I am I want to

159
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: be very careful here because I also have not heard

160
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: DK say that's what the guy said. I think it

161
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: was o Cho Sinko reported that DK told him, So

162
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: I don't again, I have I don't know. I definitely

163
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: don't know what was said definitively. I just know what

164
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: the audio shows and the video shows seems to back

165
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: up Blue Wig guy.

166
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 2: Guy wouldn't have walked up, I feel, And I.

167
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: Also feel like I also feel like there is again

168
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: you can sometimes tell what was said by the reaction

169
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: of folks around and the it and so I.

170
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 2: Feel like, oh my gosh, like, yeah.

171
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: It didn't seem like that. Again, I'm so I the

172
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: I would not. I don't have enough evidence yet to

173
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: make my own full mental ruling, but I know which

174
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: way I'm leaning. Okay, So now that I've laid all

175
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: this out there, I want to I want to make

176
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: this point, which is, of course DK Metcalf got suspended

177
00:11:53,480 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: two games the NFL. There are very few black in

178
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: white lines that the NFL in particular has to maintain,

179
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: and one of them is you can't hit the customers.

180
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: And I feel more strongly about that, honestly, in the

181
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: NFL than the NBA, even though the NBA they're on

182
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: top of the court. Because this is I think you

183
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: have to get in such a different mind frame to

184
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: play pro football. It's while you're on the field. I

185
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: think you have to like Cyche that that it needs

186
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: to be really really instilled that you can't take that

187
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: into the stands because I think it can.

188
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 2: Go massive dude.

189
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: It's a massive dude who's in like a in that moment,

190
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: like for your mentality, like you know, the We've seen

191
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 1: plenty of these guys who in their day to day

192
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: life are just like soft spoken, quiet, you know, peaceful people,

193
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: but they have to get into it. So I just

194
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 1: think the size plus the mindset, all of that, it

195
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: becomes really like legitimately dangerous, not fake dangerous, legitimately dangerous.

196
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: And so I I as soon as it happened, I

197
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 1: texted Bruin Wilde. I was like, he's going to be

198
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: suspended a minimum of the game, maybe multiple now maybe,

199
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: And I know it voids as guarantees. I actually don't

200
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: think that matters that much because he's still a really

201
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: good player. You only don't want your guarantee, like the

202
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: Steelers want to keep paying him. So that's not going

203
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: to probably be a problem now next year, if he's

204
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 1: terrible or if he suffers a terrible injury, then those

205
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: voided guarantees could matter. But that's my general take on

206
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 1: the DK Metcalf situation. Now we have and even more

207
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: nuanced conversation to be had about my hometown Kansas City

208
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: Chiefs and where they're going geographically, and some of this

209
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: is going to be boring some of them, and you

210
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: know what I shouldn't say is going to be boring.

211
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: Some of this is going to be just real geography,

212
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: and some of it's going to be real politics. And

213
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: some of this is going to be municipal spending. But

214
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: I'll make it all good, So go ahead.

215
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 2: The season for hell becomes more hilatious.

216
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 3: You guys lost Patrick, You guys lost your backup quarterback

217
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 3: in Garda.

218
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 2: Minshew, and you lost the Titans.

219
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 3: And it seems like Kansas City Chiefs are no longer

220
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 3: going to be in Kansas City. They might be moving

221
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 3: over to Kansas in twenty thirty. How do you feel

222
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 3: about this development?

223
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: All right, first, let me explain to people what it means.

224
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: Kansas City Kansas City for all intents and purposes. When

225
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: people hear about Kansas City, they're talking about the Missouri side.

226
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: It is where I'm from, so weird kind of border

227
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: rivalry Missouri or Kansas. But I grew up one block

228
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: off State Line Road. That is exactly what it sounds

229
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: like the line between Missouri and Kansas. Now, confusingly and oddly,

230
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: the Missouri side of State Line Road is Kansas City.

231
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: The Kansas side of State Line Road is not Kansas City, Kansas.

232
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: That's a different part. Like there is a small part

233
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: of Kansasity, Kansas that touches State Line Road, but most

234
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: of it that touches State Line Road is like uh

235
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: Leewood or Oleitha or different municipalities. Okay, you guys don't

236
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: care about that. What you do what does matter is this,

237
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: The Chiefs are moving about twenty minutes west of where

238
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: they currently play. So this has no impact on them

239
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: being the Kansas City Chiefs because they were in Kansas

240
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: City proper. Yes, but they are still in the greater

241
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: Kansas City area, just like the same San Francisco forty

242
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: nine Ers play in Santa Clara. The New England Patriots,

243
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: which people consider Boston's team, play in Foxborough. Like this

244
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: is the Detroit Pistons used to play at the Palace

245
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: at Auburn Hills. This happens. This is not a team

246
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: moving the way teams move, like Baltimore going to Cleveland,

247
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: that type of the Cleveland going to Baltimore. Either, That's

248
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: not what this is at all. Now it does for

249
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: me as a native Missouri and someone who's lived lived

250
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: his whole life my dad, it's Kansasy, Missouri firefighter. I

251
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: lived in on the Missouri side and whenever people say

252
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: to me, oh, you're from Kansas, I correct them say no,

253
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: I'm from Missouri. I hate that the Chiefs are leaving

254
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: I don't hate that Missouri was not held hostage by

255
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: pro sports owners. And this is where we get into

256
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: a little bit of tricky stuff. And then we will

257
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: talk about the football piece of it, because there is

258
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: a real football piece of it. But this is so teams,

259
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: because the state of Kansas, via star bonds and other stuff,

260
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: is going to pay more money for this chief stadium

261
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 1: than any local government, which means taxpayers have paid for

262
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: any stadium in the history of America one point eight

263
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: billion dollars. And I have always believed that the call

264
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: it fifteen biggest cities in the country, all of the

265
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 1: mayors slash governors of those states should have gotten together

266
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 1: a long time ago and said, folks, we need to

267
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 1: have an agreement amongst ourselves. We are not going to

268
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 1: pay for pro those sports team stadiums because they want

269
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 1: to be in our cities. So New York, LA, Dallas, Houston, Chicago,

270
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: San Francisco, that your major markets pro sports teams want

271
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: to be there. The idea that they are going to

272
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: leave is a bluff. If you are a major, major market,

273
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 1: so you should never pay. Never pay if you're in

274
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: one of those markets. If you're in a smaller market.

275
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 1: It does get trickier because we have seen teams leave

276
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: smaller markets. And one can argue, and I have argued

277
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: for a long time to use my hometown as a example,

278
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:56,360
Speaker 1: that the thing that distinct that makes Kansas City different

279
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: from Des Moines, Iowa, or Omaha, Nebraska is that we

280
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,199
Speaker 1: have the chiefs and the royals. That's it. We're a

281
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: two sport pro sport city and there is real economic

282
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 1: and civic pride benefit to that. And Kansas City is

283
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 1: not a huge market, so you can't just dare a

284
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: team to leave the way LA could or New York

285
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 1: could or Washington, d C. Could because they might leave.

286
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 1: The Kansas City has lost teams before, and so I

287
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: don't think it. While I understand the argument of there

288
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: are better things to be putting paying taxpayer dollars for

289
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:49,120
Speaker 1: that is correct, I agree with that in general. I

290
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 1: also understand why if you're Memphis, losing the Grizzlies as

291
00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 1: scary as shit, and it might be worth taxpayer dollars

292
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: to make sure they stay. And so I think the

293
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: math is not the same for mid market and small

294
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: market teams as it is for major market teams. That's

295
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: just my opinion. I think I have data to back

296
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: that up, but it's my gut feeling on having grown

297
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: up in one of those places and feeling like I'm

298
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 1: from somewhere, and because we have pro sports teams and

299
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: so this doesn't change that for Kansas Citians, they will

300
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 1: still be the Kansas City Chiefs. Nobody half the country

301
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:41,719
Speaker 1: thought they played in Kansas already anyway, And I don't

302
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: think I understand the gut reaction people have, and I'm

303
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: with you politically on this, that it is shameful the

304
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 1: public subsidies we will give billion dollar sports teams when

305
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 1: I mean the city the state of Kansas has no

306
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: public transportation none. Don't get mad at me, Governor Laura Kelly, Like,

307
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a few bus routes, but like there

308
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 1: are there's there are things that money could be used

309
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: for that probably would help a greater group of people.

310
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: I get that, But I also do think that if

311
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 1: you're in a city the size of one that a

312
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: team might leave, losing that team can be devastating to

313
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: the community. So I do think you have to weigh

314
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 1: that the the problem for the cheap for that the

315
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 1: Chiefs were able to play into specifically is because they're

316
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:51,959
Speaker 1: on a state line, they could play one state against

317
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: the other and get basically demanse the benefit that you

318
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 1: normally only get this type of I mean one point

319
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 1: eight billion, it's the biggest public subsidy ever. You normally

320
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: only get that something like that if you are threatening

321
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: your fan base with we are moving, like we are

322
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 1: going to the Seattle SuperSonics are going to become the

323
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City Thunder. Because Kansas City that is on a

324
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: state line, they were able to get the benefit without

325
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 1: ever having to threaten. They were never threatening to move

326
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: to San Antonio. It's just like we'll just.

327
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 2: Ext whoever is going to the games previously.

328
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 1: Right, you still get to play the states against each other.

329
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 1: And this has been a problem for border cities. This

330
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: is a bigger problem when it comes to business taxes

331
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,159
Speaker 1: and municipal funding. And again, this is the part that

332
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: could be boring, but I'm gonna give a very simplistic

333
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 1: story of what's happened in my hometown. Because it's on

334
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: a state line, you'll have a business, not a sports team,

335
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: a business that is based in Kansas, and then politicians

336
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: in Missouri because they want to say we added jobs

337
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: to our community will give that business insane tax breaks

338
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: to move its headquarters fifteen minutes east over to Missouri,

339
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: and that business can then not pay the taxes it

340
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 1: was once paying. It has no impact whatsoever actually on

341
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: who has the jobs. You're not adding jobs to your community,

342
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: You're just stealing them off the books of Kansas to

343
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: Adam and Missouri, or Missouri to Adam and Kansas, vice versa.

344
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: But it's the same human beings working there, and that has,

345
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 1: you know, been That's a problem for mayors and city

346
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: councils of border cities all the time, like how do

347
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: we because it ends up being not a zero sum

348
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: game again, a zero sum for the overall community, but

349
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,360
Speaker 1: a huge win for the a zero sum for the

350
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: employment of the overall community, while being a huge win

351
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 1: for the bottom line of corporations. But that's a sidebar.

352
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 1: Now to the football piece of it, because here is

353
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: the tangible effect. The Chiefs are going to play in

354
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: a dome stadium starting in twenty thirty one.

355
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 2: Hey, that's awesome. I don't know how you feel about that.

356
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 2: That's awesome. I love the domes.

357
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: I hate so.

358
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 2: The snow games. That real effect of the weather.

359
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that passion, so the others. Here's the

360
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: so very short term, very selfish. I like the dome

361
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 1: for Patrick's late thirties.

362
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 3: Oh and then the new guy is gonna be playing

363
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 3: in the dome the whole time.

364
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: So if we are just talking about maximizing like Mahomes' career,

365
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: having the fact that his age thirty five and older

366
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:27,479
Speaker 1: seasons will be in a dome is probably good. Yeah, Okay,

367
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: that's probably good. That to me is not worth the

368
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: trade off of football slowly but surely eliminating weather as

369
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 1: a component, Like I think we are moving towards a

370
00:25:55,840 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: reality of in a decade, there are are maybe three

371
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 1: or four stadiums in the country where weather plays a part,

372
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: and I don't like that for football. I think football

373
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 1: is a game made to be played in the elements.

374
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: I don't mind domes in warm weather places because it

375
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: feels like that's actually like the elements aren't going to

376
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 1: be a big issue there anyway, and so it allows

377
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: you to host more events.

378
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 2: Fine.

379
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 1: And I don't mind the Dome in Minnesota only because

380
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: that specific place can get so Maybe it's just because

381
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 1: I'm used to it, but it can get so much

382
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 1: snow that they have like cancel games, but I guess Buffalo.

383
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,919
Speaker 1: So it's probably just because I'm used to it. But

384
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: I don't like football removing the elements and the idea

385
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: that because they build this stadium, Kansas City is going

386
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: to get a bunch of super Bowls. It's just not true.

387
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: I think they will probably get one, and people will

388
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: complain about the super Bowl being in Kansas City, and

389
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: you know what, they should because the super Bowl should

390
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: not be in Kansas City. Super Bowls shouldn't. I'm from there.

391
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: I love it. Super Bowl should not have ever been

392
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: in Minneapolis, it shouldn't have ever been in Indianapolis. It

393
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: shouldn't be in Kansas City.

394
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 2: The super Bowl sho, what does it need to be

395
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 2: in New Orleans? Or wait, what happened?

396
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: New Orleans? Miami, Vegas, LA? That's where the super Bowl elitist? Okay,

397
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: no cities, it's yeah, I guess. I mean New Orleans

398
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: isn't a big market. It's just awesome and the and

399
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 1: so I think we have seen cities that can do it.

400
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: And I'd be honestly okay with LA not being included.

401
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,439
Speaker 1: I'd be fine with it just being Vegas Miami, New

402
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: Orleans that being the rotation. You can make the argument

403
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 1: for Phoenix, but I just think they're not the idea

404
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: that Kansas City is because they add this is going

405
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: to be a part of a Super Bowl rotation. That's

406
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. Now. It's not gonna be every ten

407
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: years the biggest sporting event in the country, headquarters in

408
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: wyan Dot County for in February. It's just not happening.

409
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 1: But the big my biggest thing is on the field.

410
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: I don't like I like that weather matters, and I

411
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:45,719
Speaker 1: like that the Buffalo and Kansas City and Baltimore and

412
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and New England have to be able to play

413
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: in multiple settings. And I just I so yes, I

414
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: think it'll be good for Pat the end of you know,

415
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: the last quarter of Patrick's career. But it's to me

416
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: a bit of a bummer. And the other bomber is this,

417
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: You're gonna go from eighty thousand seats to about sixty

418
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:17,239
Speaker 1: eight thousand, and I'm going to be very interested and

419
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: I really hope that they that they find a way

420
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: because I think the tailgating will be great no matter

421
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: what one thing. Clark KHNT said yesterday. That's true. Is

422
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: parking lots don't tailgate people do, That's correct. I think

423
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: the tailgating pregame stuff. I trust they will make sure

424
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 1: that stays sacrisanct, because, like, if there's ever a reason

425
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: to go to an NFL game, going to Arrowhead to

426
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: tailgate before the game is one of the greatest things

427
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: in the NFL. And I think that will stay. But

428
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: I wonder if they're going to be able like and

429
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 1: but the other thing Clark said is seats and concrete

430
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: don't make noise. Fans do. That is true, but certain

431
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: stadiums are more we're conducive for noise than others. And

432
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: Arrowhead has been the loudest open air stadium in the

433
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: country forever. And I just hope they are able to

434
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: recreate that.

435
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 2: Is it. Is it going to have a new name, Well.

436
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: I would imagine they'll still call it Arrowhead. They've already

437
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:26,719
Speaker 1: kind of sold on that because it's technically Geha Field

438
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: at Arrowhead. And I've never totally understood naming right sponsorships, Like,

439
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: I don't know that anyone has paid more attention to

440
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs. I really don't know that anyone

441
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: in the world has paid more attention to the Kansity

442
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: chiefs than me certainly, uh since because the stadiums don't

443
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: even named that for like five years of the field

444
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: in that time prayer and I still don't. But I

445
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: still don't know what GHA is. Yeah, if you were

446
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: like this, I have no idea. I have no clue

447
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: what the I I don't know. Do they sell insurance?

448
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: Is it? Are they? I have a colt. I don't

449
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: know what it is. So it's it's always arrowhead to me.

450
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: But that's the the positive and the negative. That's what

451
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: it is. Now. Will Kn't City get a Final four? Maybe?

452
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 1: Like will they're like having a domed stadium? There is

453
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: there are benefits for it.

454
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 2: The h A is Government Employees Health Association.

455
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: Still don't know what it means. Does that mean they

456
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: they they? Does that mean they compete with the company

457
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: that Gronk advertises for So it is they're the competitors

458
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: of Gronk's company. What's that? What's the Gronk insurance company?

459
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: Where he's like, I wasn't in the military. Yeah, okay,

460
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: so EH and U SAA are competitors, all right, good

461
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: for them.

462
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 3: Do you think there's I'm sorry, just cut you off.

463
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 3: Do you think there's gonna be any teams that hold

464
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 3: out on this open air stadium closed team? Like could

465
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 3: you see Green Baby? And like the last team with

466
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 3: an open open stadium in thirty.

467
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 1: Years Buffalo's building a new stadium and Buffalo's new stadium

468
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 1: doesn't have a roof, right, fact check me on that.

469
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 2: Okay, well that's good for something then.

470
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and butfo yeah, and it's Buffalo. But I

471
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. The Chiefs playing in a dome feels

472
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 1: weird to me. I'm sure I get used to it.

473
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: And if Old Mahomes is just lighting people up, maybe

474
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: I'll be fine with it.

475
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 3: But maybe because I'm a not a savant and like

476
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 3: a football historian, I just don't see why you would

477
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 3: want like and this is like I hear a lot

478
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 3: of people that's their take. They want there to be snow,

479
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 3: the incluent weather. Why would you not just want them

480
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 3: to perform to their best ability like any other sport,

481
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 3: Like I feel like there's no sport.

482
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: It's because that's so That's where that's where I disagree

483
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: with you, know what you're saying a lot of people

484
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 1: feel that way. It just it just depends on how

485
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 1: you look at it. I look at being great at

486
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 1: football intrinsically, meaning that you can have different types of

487
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: game plans and different abilities in different weather. Yeah, because

488
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: I think that is part of building a team. I

489
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: think part of building a team is teaching them how

490
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: to exploit different weather conditions. I think that is as

491
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: intrinsic to the game as kick returning, Like that's part

492
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: of it. And I think removing it people a lot

493
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: of people feel like, oh, you were move it, and

494
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: that then makes it more pure. I feel like it

495
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: makes it less pure. And I I understand in basketball

496
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 1: that doesn't exist. Everything the same, all of it.

497
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 3: Like soccer, like I mean, I don't know if they

498
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 3: played definitely they play soccer in the snow or like

499
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 3: light snow.

500
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 2: They obviously can like heavy rain.

501
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: That's fair, but the soccer is an outdoor sport and

502
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: being able to handle heat is a bigger thing in soccer.

503
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 3: Like yeah, yeah, the yeah, yeah, I guess I'm always

504
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,760
Speaker 3: looking for the light show I'm seeing these games.

505
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 2: That's fair.

506
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: That's the way the NFL is moving that. It just

507
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,240
Speaker 1: bums me out. I mean, but again, I'm a grand

508
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: poll now.

509
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 2: And I'm sorry to those historians that stuff has changed.

510
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: No, it's fine. Just so many of the like the

511
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 1: great moments in NFL history are playoff games in the

512
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: elements and and that'll be a bummer for me, But

513
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 1: you know nothing to cry about. I just I don't

514
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: love it. That to me matters a lot more than

515
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: the fact that they're moving twenty minutes west across state lines.

516

544
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 3: Games, Ravens hanging by a thread. Drake May was looking

545
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 3: poor in the first half. Rallied Lamar Jackson came out

546
00:36:57,719 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 3: of the game with I think like a rib injury.

547
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 2: We lost the game. Now we have a seven percent

548
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 2: chance of making the playoffs. Yeah yeah, how ye? Who

549
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 2: do you think this is big wrong? The Ravens or Patriots?

550
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 1: I think, well, listen, I think it's a Let me

551
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 1: start with the Patriots. And what was I'm trying to

552
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: remember because there was a clip from last week's show.

553
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 1: Was it about Lamar? What was the clip? Maybe the

554
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 1: producers saw it as well. There is a clip of

555
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 1: I did some take that I don't even know if

556
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 1: demanse agreed with, but it was massively aggregated, and it

557
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 1: was aggregated with the monsee and I split screen. And

558
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: I always find this funny because I wasn't do you

559
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 1: guys remember what I'm talking about? Was it my last

560
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 1: week from it was from Thursday show. I can't even

561
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 1: remember what we talked about on Thursday.

562
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 3: But regardless, Lamar's health, niquill and sickness and stuff, but

563
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 3: it was something else other than that.

564
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:53,479
Speaker 2: Probably That's why.

565
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember. What are If I had our

566
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 1: rundown from last week in front of me, I could

567
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 1: I could think of it. I'm trying to think if

568
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 1: it's Lamar because the reason I thought of that is

569
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: it might happen again this week, but uh the let's

570
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 1: start with the Patriots. I think that was a growing

571
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: up moment for Drake Drake. I think that Drake was

572
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: playing one of his worst games of the year and

573
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 1: for him to rally the way he did and make

574
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 1: the I mean, he obviously had the one great deep

575
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: pass that was robbed from him on the miss DPI,

576
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 1: but didn't matter. He had already the touchdown pass he

577
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: threw to the front corner of the end zone. Yeah,

578
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 1: was unbelievable. I thought that was great, and I I

579
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 1: think that on top of that, Uhle's hold on. I

580
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: think Paul just texted to me, Oh, this is what

581
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 1: it was. Sorry, it was the thank you, Paul. It

582
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 1: was the whimby stuff. It was me saying I don't

583
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,399
Speaker 1: need to be lectured by the old French kid. That

584
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 1: the people got super mad at that take and you're

585
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 1: just sitting there like listening. It's just super funny. Thank you, Paul.

586
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 1: The no the people got mad at I think my

587
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:22,320
Speaker 1: Lamar h takes from TV. But sorry, I'm interrupting myself.

588
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:27,840
Speaker 1: I thought the Drake may touchdown pass was unild The

589
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 1: bomb was unbelievable. The fourth and two play which kept

590
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: him alive to go win the game. It was just

591
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 1: past the sideline, but it was an absolute laser that

592
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: I thought was gonna be knocked down. He was excellent.

593
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 1: And Drake May's the real deal.

594
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:43,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's the real hand.

595
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:50,439
Speaker 1: And uh, the Patriots they had to win that game

596
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 1: because while I thought sometimes the schedule stuff got a

597
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 1: little overblown, if they had played that soft schedule and

598
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:02,760
Speaker 1: then lost to Buffalo and Baltimore, it'd be like, Okay,

599
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:03,839
Speaker 1: you know what I mean.

600
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 2: They're they're a really.

601
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're Oh, they're ahead of schedule. They're better than

602
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 1: all the JV teams, but they're not an A lister,

603
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 1: And I think they proved they're A listers. And so

604
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:23,359
Speaker 1: I think that is that's the Patriots piece of it.

605
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 1: And they've got.

606
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 2: They got their quarterback. The guy looks like. I think

607
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 2: that guy's gonna be in the league for a really

608
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 2: really long time. Yeah, yeah, I solid, man.

609
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:39,879
Speaker 1: I think he is just going to be a top

610
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: five quarterback. Yeah. Forward, he's legit. He is, without a

611
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:50,320
Speaker 1: doubt legit. And then you get to the Ravens and

612
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 1: there's a lot here. They blew another big lead. Everyone's

613
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: blaming hardball. They didn't give the ball to they didn't

614
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 1: have Derrick Henry on the field for their last two possessions.

615
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:13,879
Speaker 1: People are understandably blaming hardball. Another can I call it

616
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: without people freaking out? Weird injury thing with Lamar I do.

617
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 3: I do feel strongly that he could have came back

618
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 3: in the game. Watching the like and it's and it's

619
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,839
Speaker 3: a rivengery. I do think he could have come back

620
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 3: in that game. And I don't like doing that or

621
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,359
Speaker 3: like being like so I don't know what the guy

622
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:34,760
Speaker 3: was feeling, but I don't know, like he was moving around,

623
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 3: he's like on the side, like like I've had a

624
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 3: ribbery before.

625
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 2: And I just I don't know. I felt like he

626
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 2: could have kept played, especially in that situation. We have

627
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:44,800
Speaker 2: the game. We just need you to manage.

628
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 1: But I so listen, I hate that you're the one

629
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 1: that said that instead of me, because and I want

630
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: this if this gets aggregated, people to understand he could

631
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:59,320
Speaker 1: Its just Demonte's favorite team and the guy he's ridden

632
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 1: with more than anybody. Yeah, but I was shocked he

633
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 1: didn't go back in and when he didn't go back in.

634
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 1: Let me rephrase that, I was not shocked he didn't

635
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: go back in. We didn't go back in. I assumed

636
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:19,799
Speaker 1: we were going to get the news yesterday that he

637
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 1: broke his ribs, that he had cracked ribs, that even

638
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 1: though the hit didn't the need didn't look that bad.

639
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: But you never know, you know how that is. And

640
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 1: so I just assumed, like, oh man, there's he, like

641
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 1: he's he probably isn't gonna play this coming week, and

642
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 1: that's it's a rap. And when Harbaugh came out yesterday

643
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 1: and said it's just a bad contusion and he's day

644
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 1: to day, I was stunned. Now again, it's weird because

645
00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:05,359
Speaker 1: Lamar is obviously tough, and obviously he's played cares so

646
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 1: I so that's why I'm saying, it's just another weird

647
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:16,839
Speaker 1: injury thing with Lamar, where now he has suffered a

648
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 1: hamstring injury that nobody saw when it happened, but obviously

649
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 1: was a real one, like a not real as opposed

650
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 1: to real versus fake. I should have said a significant

651
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 1: one to where he missed multiple games, including a game

652
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: after a buye that his coach thought he would be

653
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 1: back for and then had knee ankle toe injuries that

654
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 1: made him miss practice but not miss any games, but

655
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 1: he then wasn't effective in the games. Then his you know,

656
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: annual December cold had to miss practice, and now what

657
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 1: looked like a relatively banal play knocked him out for

658
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 1: the most critical half of their season, basically playing an

659
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 1: elimination game. It's just weird. And I'm not trying to

660
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 1: be like cag with my analysis here. I'm not trying

661
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 1: to hint at anything, but I'm also not going to

662
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 1: act like it's not weird. And it's very very hard

663
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:38,280
Speaker 1: not to go to the other quarterbacks in Lamar's tax

664
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 1: bracket and echelon, and I'd ask yourself, do we think

665
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 1: they would have an injury that the next day their

666
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 1: coach calls day to day and expects them to play

667
00:44:57,080 --> 00:45:01,800
Speaker 1: the next week, that we wouldn't have seen them back

668
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 1: on the field at least trying seeing giving it a

669
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 1: go and then maybe Okay, this isn't gonna work. I

670
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 1: don't know, I feel like you would have, and so

671
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:12,800
Speaker 1: it's just odd.

672
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 2: And I go about Baltimore. See so with the situation, Harball,

673
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 2: whatever it is.

674
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:23,320
Speaker 1: Let me tweak that there you go, I don't because

675
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: I said this a few weeks ago. I don't think

676
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 1: he wants out. I think he might be over Harball

677
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 1: and that this has run its course, and that Lamar

678
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 1: is resigned to the fact that this is a lost season,

679
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 1: and it is a lost season, and this was the

680
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:59,799
Speaker 1: the biggest thing I said yesterday on TV that I

681
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 1: think people maybe took issue with. But again, we won't

682
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 1: know for five years, but I'll I think this will

683
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 1: age well. I am not saying Lamar will never make

684
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,759
Speaker 1: or win a super Bowl. What I am saying is

685
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 1: I think when his career is over, we will look

686
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 1: at the best chances he had were these past three years.

687
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 1: They were the solitary super Bowl favorite at multiple points

688
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 1: in each of the last three seasons. They were the

689
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 1: super Bowl preseason favorite this year. And to come out

690
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: of these three years with two total playoff victories, come

691
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 1: out of the twenty twenties so far twenty one, twenty two,

692
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 1: twenty three, twenty four to twenty five with two total

693
00:46:54,160 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 1: playoff victories is stunning. And now I think you start

694
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:12,840
Speaker 1: a new era with a new head coach Demons. Before

695
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:16,360
Speaker 1: we move on to side of it, I want to

696
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 1: give you some news. Zay Flowers name to the Pro

697
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:24,759
Speaker 1: Bowl this morning. Now go ahead, I know you have

698
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 1: a potential Zay Flowers take.

699
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 3: Just run straight, man, please just run straight, and just

700
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 3: be a little bit tighter with the football. I just

701
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:37,240
Speaker 3: think that there there have been a couple of big

702
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 3: situations and the biggest point of the season, and I

703
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:43,239
Speaker 3: think the guy is loose with the football. He's trying

704
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 3: to play like backyard football or something, making these cuts backwards.

705
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:48,359
Speaker 3: And that's not like the only time that I've seen

706
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:51,719
Speaker 3: him do that, but just in the bigger instances, it's like, dude,

707
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 3: just just be tirer with the football. Don't try to

708
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:56,839
Speaker 3: get it all one play, go down or something. It's

709
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:57,800
Speaker 3: just kind of frustrated.

710
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 1: And he has said he was gonna do that, yeah,

711
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:03,319
Speaker 1: and then he has not done that.

712
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:04,880
Speaker 2: He's loose. It's just loose.

713
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:09,719
Speaker 1: And it's the end. He doesn't fumble a lot, but

714
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:14,240
Speaker 1: you remember the fumbles. Yeah, you're youber. There are big moments,

715
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:18,919
Speaker 1: all right. This also got you know, there's extra bad

716
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: for Baltimore because of Pittsburgh's green in the day. I

717
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:24,759
Speaker 1: know you have a question about that.

718
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 2: What'd you think of the end of that game Pittsburgh Detroit.

719
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 2: So I.

720
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 1: Thought a couple of things. One is this, you're the

721
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:40,879
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions with Dan the man Campbell. You're biting knee caps.

722
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 1: You have first and goal from the one with twenty

723
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:50,959
Speaker 1: two seconds in a timeout. Run the ball, run the ball.

724
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 1: The you ran a little fancy little pick play. You

725
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:59,240
Speaker 1: got OPI like you're supposed to be this big, strong, tough,

726
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:00,320
Speaker 1: smack smouth.

727
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 2: Get it.

728
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 1: You're the one yard line. So that's first point. That

729
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 1: was on the first OPI. The second OPI, I don't

730
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:20,280
Speaker 1: know if I love that OPI call. I also don't

731
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:24,360
Speaker 1: think that should have mattered because a Monros Saint Brown,

732
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 1: by any definition ever, was short of the end zone

733
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 1: on fourth down. And here's the critical piece. Had his

734
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:38,799
Speaker 1: momentum stopped, his forward ruggers was stopped. Now, they didn't

735
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:42,279
Speaker 1: blow it dead, but that was asinine. Had there not

736
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 1: been a called OPI and that a Monro Saint Brown

737
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 1: lateral which happened three seconds and five yards after he

738
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:55,839
Speaker 1: was first hit when he was pushed backwards, had they

739
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:59,840
Speaker 1: not said that play was blown dead, that would have

740
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:04,440
Speaker 1: been an outrage because the reason, you know is forward

741
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 1: momentum was stopped and everyone thought the play was over.

742
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 1: Was the other Steelers could have gone up and hit

743
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:12,799
Speaker 1: him as well. There were two pushing him, but they

744
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 1: didn't because they knew obviously that play was supposed to

745
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 1: be over. So I didn't think Detroit got screwed. I

746
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 1: do think Pittsburgh, where I have to give him credit

747
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:26,319
Speaker 1: to Monse is they're playing their best ball. Rogers is

748
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 1: playing his best ball. You And here is the important

749
00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 1: thing for Pittsburgh. If you beat the Browns, your old

750
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:40,600
Speaker 1: ass team, with your old ass quarterback, you can give

751
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:46,239
Speaker 1: yourselves a bye week that's super valuable. Because you beat

752
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 1: the Browns and Week eighteen is truly wholly and entirely

753
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 1: meaningless for you. You will have locked up the four seed.

754
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 1: You will not be able to improve your seed, and

755
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:07,360
Speaker 1: you can just rest Rogers, rest whomever else DK is

756
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 1: gonna be resting either way, and you'll be at home

757
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 1: for two weeks leading into the playoffs, which is a

758
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 1: home game. So Steelers beat the Browns, and they all

759
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 1: of a sudden, depending on who they draw, are live now.

760
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:30,239
Speaker 1: I don't think they're live against Buffalo, but Buffalo's not

761
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 1: guaranteed to be the five seed. And so that's a

762
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:38,800
Speaker 1: great weekend for Pittsburgh. All right, let's go on to

763
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,799
Speaker 1: the other game. Actually, before we do that, Demanse, let

764
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:44,880
Speaker 1: me do this. You ever notice how everything keeps going up.

765
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:48,400
Speaker 1: Rent's going up, streaming services going up. Your favorite burrito spot,

766
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:51,440
Speaker 1: thinks Sauls as cost extra both Boost Mobile, you and

767
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:53,239
Speaker 1: your phone build off to play the will this go

768
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:56,440
Speaker 1: up Soon? Game? Why? Because boost moa is unlimited talk,

769
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:58,359
Speaker 1: text and data playing at a price that will never

770
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 1: go up. In fact, same you'll pay for life. So

771
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:05,319
Speaker 1: switch now for unlimited wireless at a price that'll never

772
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 1: go up. Only at boost Mobile. After thirty gigs, customers

773
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:12,600
Speaker 1: may experience lower speeds. Customers will pay twenty five dollars

774
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 1: per month as long as they remain active on the

775
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 1: boost Unlimited plan. All right, let's keep going with these

776
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 1: other games.

777
00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams and the Comeback over Green Bay. I saw

778
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:25,840
Speaker 2: some beautiful stuff from this car over the weekend.

779
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:28,880
Speaker 3: Jordan Love got knocked out of the game, but I

780
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 3: think a concussion didn't matter though, because Willis came in

781
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:32,920
Speaker 3: and he was cooking too, so I think there is

782
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:36,320
Speaker 3: still a solid win. Cook the on side kick in overtime,

783
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:40,880
Speaker 3: some dots into the end zone. How what should Bears

784
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:43,200
Speaker 3: fans expectations be at this point of the season.

785
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 1: Well, listen, that was an unbelievable win. And post on

786
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:54,399
Speaker 1: sidekick Caleb was unreal. The fourth down throw to say

787
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:58,760
Speaker 1: keep the game alive was perfect. The overtime touchdown pass

788
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:03,640
Speaker 1: was perfect. Now you do have to acknowledge all of

789
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:11,760
Speaker 1: Caleb's great moments happened after an onside kick, and that means,

790
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:17,120
Speaker 1: by definition, they were incredibly lucky that they had a

791
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:20,880
Speaker 1: chance for those to happen, Like onside kicks just you

792
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 1: cover ten percent of them and so, but that's football

793
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:31,400
Speaker 1: like that the sometimes you need that little opening to

794
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 1: redeem yourself. And now the Bears are locked into the

795
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 1: playoffs feeling great and I think feeling like we can

796
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 1: play better because Caleb's highs have been unbelievable, but he

797
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:51,920
Speaker 1: hasn't been consistent yet. That is like a fair critique,

798
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 1: But the.

799
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:56,759
Speaker 2: That he hasn't been like really bad either though, Like

800
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 2: I feel like he's gone right, that's right.

801
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:04,680
Speaker 1: I think that's a great way to put it. He is.

802
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:12,440
Speaker 1: He has had high highs and high lows, but he

803
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 1: has not had enough. So and he just hasn't been

804
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:24,719
Speaker 1: consistent though, but you see it, and and if you're

805
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 1: you mentioned Malik Willis, I want to say something about

806
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:32,160
Speaker 1: him and Matt Lafore. Malik Willis has been excellent as

807
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 1: a backup for them. He might get a look somewhere

808
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:41,080
Speaker 1: next year because of this. And there is a real

809
00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:45,800
Speaker 1: benefit to now having the track record that Matt Lafore

810
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:49,759
Speaker 1: built with Malik Willis, which is you should always have

811
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 1: a good backup quarterback now because quarterbacks that are trying

812
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:57,480
Speaker 1: to rebuild their value will want to go to Green

813
00:54:57,520 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 1: Bay and he clearly can coach these guys up. So

814
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:04,840
Speaker 1: that has like a real long term impact and effect.

815
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:10,839
Speaker 1: I'm checking right now. I think Malik Willis is a

816
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:14,799
Speaker 1: free agent after this year, yeah, because he was still

817
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:19,520
Speaker 1: on his rookie deal. So Malik Willis could be looking

818
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:25,840
Speaker 1: at like one of those one year, ten twelve million

819
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:36,239
Speaker 1: dollar deals from a team that stopgap situation. Could Could

820
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:40,640
Speaker 1: the Colts sign him while they're waiting on Daniel Jones

821
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:43,520
Speaker 1: to recover something like that, Like, I think that's on

822
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:48,240
Speaker 1: the board, So I think that is interesting. I also

823
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:51,359
Speaker 1: think that because of Detroit's loss, green Bay is going

824
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:56,279
Speaker 1: to be fine. But the injuries are just piling up

825
00:55:56,320 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 1: on them, and they're not. Here's the scenario for the

826
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:08,719
Speaker 1: Lions to get in and the Packers to be out

827
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:13,120
Speaker 1: is very simple. The Packers have to lose out and

828
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:19,720
Speaker 1: the Lions have to win out. Now that's not outrageous

829
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 1: when you say there's only two games left. It would

830
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:27,839
Speaker 1: mean the Packers have to lose to Baltimore and to Minnesota,

831
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:32,879
Speaker 1: two seven and eight disappointing teams. I know in our

832
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:35,640
Speaker 1: head one team's way better than the other, but they're not.

833
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:40,359
Speaker 1: So the Packers would have to lose to Baltimore and

834
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:45,120
Speaker 1: in Minnesota, and the Lions would have to beat Minnesota

835
00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:48,200
Speaker 1: and Chicago in the final week of the year. So

836
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:53,680
Speaker 1: Packers aren't in. But it would take a disaster, and

837
00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:56,680
Speaker 1: that also means Lions are basically out. All right, Let's

838
00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:58,920
Speaker 1: talk about my favorite game of the weekend, Demonsey.

839
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 3: So you're and Trevor Lawrence went and hung thirty four

840
00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:05,800
Speaker 3: on that top rated defense in Denver. Nobody's believed in

841
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:08,000
Speaker 3: this team except for you, through and through. Are you

842
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:10,960
Speaker 3: ready to take a victory lap or ere? The your

843
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:13,080
Speaker 3: sights higher for them in the postseason?

844
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:18,680
Speaker 1: Sites are higher? Man was playing out of his mind.

845
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:26,560
Speaker 1: Everten nobody good against that Denver defense. Nobody and Trevor

846
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:32,760
Speaker 1: carved him up. Yeah, and they now they have a sneak,

847
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 1: not sneaky, but they have a path to the one seed.

848
00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:45,880
Speaker 1: So let me tell you explain what it is. They

849
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:49,000
Speaker 1: they have to win out. Obviously, who do they play.

850
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:54,280
Speaker 1: They are in Indie, which just saw essentially their season

851
00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:59,080
Speaker 1: end last night, and home for the Titans. Two and zero,

852
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 1: no problem they So if they do that, we go

853
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 1: to the old athletic playoff predictor they have. If they

854
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:13,920
Speaker 1: go to and zero, they have a thirty percent chance

855
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:18,720
Speaker 1: of the three seed, a fifty two percent chance of

856
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:25,640
Speaker 1: the two seed, and a eighteen percent chance of the

857
00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:30,400
Speaker 1: one seed. So how do they get the one seed? Again,

858
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:35,240
Speaker 1: this part's pretty simple as well. The Broncos are going

859
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:38,720
Speaker 1: to beat the Chiefs, so we can't ask for the

860
00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:43,840
Speaker 1: Broncos to beat the Chiefs to beat the Broncos. But

861
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:49,320
Speaker 1: if the Broncos then lose to the Chargers in Week eighteen,

862
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:54,120
Speaker 1: then what the Jags would need to be the one

863
00:58:54,200 --> 00:59:00,600
Speaker 1: seed is the Patriots to lose. It's hard gonna lie

864
00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:04,200
Speaker 1: either to the Jets or the Dolphins, and then that

865
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 1: so what the what the Jags need is the Patriots

866
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 1: and Broncos to lose at least once and they'll be

867
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:16,680
Speaker 1: the one seed. What I am more interested in is

868
00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:20,480
Speaker 1: how do they get the two seed? They because I

869
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:24,960
Speaker 1: think that's more realistic. I think it's the same thing. Actually,

870
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:32,160
Speaker 1: they need the they for them to get the two seed,

871
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:39,960
Speaker 1: they need the Patriots to lose once. Uh wait, is

872
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:40,840
Speaker 1: that not right?

873
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:41,280
Speaker 2: Hold on?

874
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:48,760
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm confused here. Let me look the I might

875
00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:51,040
Speaker 1: be confused on this one, because this says the more

876
00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:54,280
Speaker 1: likely if the Patriots win. Oh, because they get that,

877
00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:58,800
Speaker 1: they have the tiebreaker with New England and hold on,

878
00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:01,640
Speaker 1: is this correct? I have to look this up real quick. Sorry,

879
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:06,960
Speaker 1: I care about the Jags. I'm the only person the

880
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:10,400
Speaker 1: they do have. They would have the tiebreaker with New England.

881
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:16,120
Speaker 1: But New England. I'm so confused by this right now,

882
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:19,040
Speaker 1: hold on, let me let me figure this out real quick.

883
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:25,400
Speaker 1: Oh hold on, you know what, this is bad podcasting.

884
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:30,680
Speaker 1: I'm not doing the regardless, they're in great shape and

885
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:35,560
Speaker 1: Trevor's playing great and Liam Cohen's been awesome. There's just

886
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:36,320
Speaker 1: no way around it.

887
01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:38,440
Speaker 2: If they go on a deep playoff run, do you

888
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:41,000
Speaker 2: think it would ease the pain of your chief season

889
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 2: this year? Yeah?

890
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:47,280
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Can you imagine? I gotta tell you, just like,

891
01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:54,000
Speaker 1: right back up, how obnoxious I'm going to be if

892
01:00:54,840 --> 01:01:01,080
Speaker 1: Trevor makes a Super Bowl before Lamar and Josh Come

893
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:08,200
Speaker 1: on god, yeah, oh my goodness, gracious, all right, let's

894
01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:09,720
Speaker 1: talk Thursday night football quick.

895
01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:13,360
Speaker 3: So yeah, that game Seahawks ended up pulling out, pulling

896
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:16,040
Speaker 3: out the comeback last night. Forty nine ers made sure

897
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:18,360
Speaker 3: we didn't forget about them, and they beat the crap

898
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:20,600
Speaker 3: out of the Colts. I gotta I gotta be honest.

899
01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:21,600
Speaker 3: I turned that game.

900
01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:24,800
Speaker 2: Off the Seahawks. Was it? Seahawks Rams?

901
01:01:25,080 --> 01:01:27,440
Speaker 3: Donald threw the pike the sixteen the year it was

902
01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:30,160
Speaker 3: like thirty fourteen, Yeah, thirty to fourteen, nine minutes of

903
01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:30,840
Speaker 3: they came back.

904
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:33,760
Speaker 2: Yeah. How are we feeling about the NFC?

905
01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:36,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, I think the Rams are the best team.

906
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:43,840
Speaker 1: But that's a devastating loss. And Donald was awesome in

907
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:48,200
Speaker 1: overtime and maybe that'll be a fork in the road

908
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:53,840
Speaker 1: moment for him. But every concern you had about Donald

909
01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:57,000
Speaker 1: going into that game, he lived up to those concerns.

910
01:01:57,840 --> 01:02:01,240
Speaker 1: For the first three and a half quarters. Seattle is

911
01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:04,280
Speaker 1: such an excellent team. They were able to overcome it,

912
01:02:04,320 --> 01:02:10,360
Speaker 1: and Rashid Shaheed's punt return was great, But I still

913
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:13,440
Speaker 1: think the Rams are the best team and the Niners.

914
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:19,040
Speaker 1: Credit to Shanahan, credit to Purty, who was great last night. Again,

915
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:23,280
Speaker 1: every the somehow we're gonna have another where I'm gonna

916
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:25,800
Speaker 1: be drawn into more Brock Party arguments, even though we

917
01:02:25,840 --> 01:02:28,560
Speaker 1: saw Mac Jones step in for him and be a

918
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:31,200
Speaker 1: B plus version of him, which proved everything I always

919
01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:34,280
Speaker 1: said about that offense and that team. But whatever, it's

920
01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:37,280
Speaker 1: just my destiny to have to always to have to

921
01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:40,320
Speaker 1: argue about the forty nine Ers quarterback be proven right

922
01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:44,960
Speaker 1: through an odd real life NFL experiment, and then have

923
01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:47,600
Speaker 1: folks pretend that it's just coincidence that everything I said

924
01:02:47,600 --> 01:02:50,760
Speaker 1: would happen is exactly what happened. But Party was excellent.

925
01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:54,040
Speaker 1: I don't think the Niners defense is good enough for

926
01:02:54,120 --> 01:02:57,600
Speaker 1: a playoff run, but their offense is elite right now,

927
01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:02,000
Speaker 1: so I would power rank it Ram, Seahawks, Niners. What

928
01:03:02,160 --> 01:03:09,160
Speaker 1: is interesting, though, is the Seahawks and Niners are the

929
01:03:09,240 --> 01:03:12,600
Speaker 1: teams that control their own destiny for a one seed

930
01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:16,560
Speaker 1: and the Rams ability so if the because the Seahawks

931
01:03:16,560 --> 01:03:20,240
Speaker 1: have two games left Bears Niners. If they win both,

932
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:23,600
Speaker 1: they get the one seed and the bye. The Niners

933
01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:27,959
Speaker 1: have two games left. I'm sorry I said that wrong.

934
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:32,400
Speaker 1: By the way, the Niners two games left are Bears Seahawks.

935
01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:35,160
Speaker 1: If they win both of those games, they get the

936
01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:37,880
Speaker 1: one seed. They get the buye. The Seahawks have two

937
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:41,680
Speaker 1: games left Panthers Niners. If they win both those games,

938
01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 1: they get the one seed. They get the buye. For

939
01:03:46,320 --> 01:03:49,480
Speaker 1: the Rams to get the one seed, they need a

940
01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:54,760
Speaker 1: very specific set of things to happen. Obviously, they have

941
01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:58,600
Speaker 1: to go to and zero. They play Falcons Cardinals, and

942
01:03:58,640 --> 01:04:08,200
Speaker 1: then their smoothest path would be the Panthers beating the

943
01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:18,720
Speaker 1: Seahawks and then the Seahawks beating the Bears, But then

944
01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:26,040
Speaker 1: they also need the Bears, not to Seahawks beating the Niners.

945
01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:29,680
Speaker 1: Is the last thing. I apologize. I'm explaining this poorly.

946
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:32,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try again. For the Rams to be the

947
01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:36,520
Speaker 1: one seed, they need to go to and zero and

948
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:40,320
Speaker 1: then their easiest path would be Panthers beat the Seahawks,

949
01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:50,600
Speaker 1: Seahawks beat the Niners, and then either the Bears lose

950
01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:53,400
Speaker 1: to the Lions or the Bears lose to the Niners,

951
01:04:53,800 --> 01:05:03,520
Speaker 1: so they need somehow Essentially, the Rams do. The Bears, Seahawks,

952
01:05:04,360 --> 01:05:07,800
Speaker 1: and forty nine Ers to all lose at least once,

953
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:13,720
Speaker 1: which is tricky because they play each other, and so

954
01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:17,560
Speaker 1: the Rams' ability to get the one seed is quite slim.

955
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:21,640
Speaker 1: And I think that matters because again weather matters, they

956
01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:23,919
Speaker 1: would be they would have been in so fi they'd

957
01:05:23,960 --> 01:05:26,640
Speaker 1: had the rest. So I think they're the best team.

958
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:32,840
Speaker 1: But that loss is devastating to them, and I still

959
01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:34,680
Speaker 1: can't believe they lost the game the way they did.

960
01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:36,840
Speaker 1: All right, let me quickly go through these other games.

961
01:05:37,360 --> 01:05:41,160
Speaker 1: Eagles beat the Commanders and Marcus mariotis slash, Josh Johnson,

962
01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:45,200
Speaker 1: Saquon looks great, Jalen played really well. We'll see Eagles

963
01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:48,560
Speaker 1: big test this weekend against Buffalo. Panthers beat the Bucks

964
01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:53,680
Speaker 1: in a game I can't I'm not gonna explain all

965
01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:56,960
Speaker 1: the ins and outs of it. The short version is this,

966
01:05:58,520 --> 01:06:05,280
Speaker 1: given the way to Sunday football went, had Baker not

967
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:12,040
Speaker 1: thrown that interception, I would have taken the money that

968
01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:14,800
Speaker 1: Demands had loaned me earlier in the day that I

969
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:23,160
Speaker 1: talked about earlier and spun it into forty one thousand dollars.

970
01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:29,439
Speaker 1: That is not an exaggeration, That is not a oh

971
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:32,920
Speaker 1: you needed all these things to happen. It's very simple.

972
01:06:38,960 --> 01:06:44,600
Speaker 1: Had the Bucks won that game thanks to a very

973
01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:47,040
Speaker 1: savvy bet I placed with our friends at hard Rock,

974
01:06:49,360 --> 01:06:52,120
Speaker 1: I would have hit a nice little Christmas forty one

975
01:06:52,160 --> 01:06:56,960
Speaker 1: thousand dollars bonus are you doing? Baker threw one of

976
01:06:57,040 --> 01:06:57,960
Speaker 1: the worst picks.

977
01:06:57,760 --> 01:07:01,240
Speaker 2: Of them, and he was like peaking her. He was

978
01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:02,520
Speaker 2: peaking around his old lineman.

979
01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:07,240
Speaker 1: I can't I can't talk about I can't talk Bill's

980
01:07:07,240 --> 01:07:09,320
Speaker 1: beat the Browns twenty three to twenty in a game

981
01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:11,840
Speaker 1: Josh Allen didn't have to do anything, which is crazy

982
01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:14,000
Speaker 1: because all I hear about is how Josh Allen has

983
01:07:14,040 --> 01:07:17,160
Speaker 1: no help. I don't know. Having the freaking rushing champ

984
01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:19,360
Speaker 1: in James Cook seems like a little bit of help,

985
01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:22,200
Speaker 1: but what do I know. There. Chargers beat the Cowboys

986
01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:25,040
Speaker 1: in a game I got dead wrong. Justin Herbert played great.

987
01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:28,280
Speaker 1: I think you know he was just named the Pro Bowl.

988
01:07:28,320 --> 01:07:31,200
Speaker 1: By the way, it's Josh Allen. Drake made Justin Herbert

989
01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:33,920
Speaker 1: shout out Herbert. Texans beat the Raiders in a game

990
01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:38,200
Speaker 1: that nobody watched. But the Texans looked awful, and the

991
01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:41,760
Speaker 1: Texans offense has been shaky all year long, all year.

992
01:07:42,160 --> 01:07:45,960
Speaker 1: Bengals beat the Dolphins forty five twenty one. Quinn your

993
01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:49,680
Speaker 1: is not really an NFL quarterback, and the Bengals ripped

994
01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:53,320
Speaker 1: up the Dolphins defense. Vikings beat the Jets sixteen thirteen

995
01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:55,080
Speaker 1: in the game. I didn't spend a second watching, but

996
01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:57,600
Speaker 1: I saw Jackson dart through for thirty three yards and

997
01:07:57,640 --> 01:08:00,880
Speaker 1: played the whole game. That seems weird. Saints, he played

998
01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:03,720
Speaker 1: the whole game. Demanday. Saints beat the Jets twenty nine

999
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:06,560
Speaker 1: to six. Tyler Shutt continues to play well and Falcons

1000
01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:08,959
Speaker 1: beat the Cardinals twenty six to nineteen in a game

1001
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:12,720
Speaker 1: that happened, but I have no proof of it. All right, Uh,

1002
01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:16,040
Speaker 1: thank you everybody. We're gonna step aside here. We have

1003
