That's the mantra you start out or 32 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: the better story isn't the better story the Sunday night 33 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 1: NFL game. So that is where we will begin. We 34 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,799 Speaker 1: will get to the baseball later. We'll start at Arrowhead Stadium, 35 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: just down the street from the home of the Bain 36 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: Mallard Chicken Fingers had a great Mallard meet and greeted 37 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: by a year ago last November. There was wonderful just 38 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: a Smorgesborg of chicken fingers in the air everywhere there 39 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,679 Speaker 1: at the landing in Liberty, Missouri. But on Sunday night, 40 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: an island game. We love our island games. Explain that 41 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: over the weekend on the Fifth Hour podcast, which I 42 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: know you listened to. You heard the Fifth Hour podcast 43 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: every single FN day on the weekends. So the Detroit 44 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: Lions roared into Cannsau City for the little playdate with 45 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. That was the setup, that was the matchup. 46 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: And I don't know if you're watching this, the baseball 47 00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: game was going on. It was a quick NFL game, 48 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: pretty fast NFL game. Baseball games started a little bit 49 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: before the game in the NFL. So if you're not 50 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: watching Patrick Mahomes, wake up the echos two hundred and 51 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: fifty seven yards passing three touchdowns. You also scrambled for 52 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,279 Speaker 1: another score. And Malon Matt tells me that's four touchdowns 53 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: for Patrick Mahomes and he led the Chiefs to a 54 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: thirty to seventeen win over the Detroit football team as 55 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: Marquise Hollywood Brown had two touchdown receptions, Xavier Worthy had another. 56 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: The Chiefs get back to five hundred at three and 57 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: three on the season. They played a near flawless game. 58 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: More on that coming up in a little bit there. 59 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: They had no penalties, no penalties for the Chiefs, no turnovers. 60 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: This is one week after you get a penalty, you 61 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: get a penalty, you get a penalty. And that Monday 62 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: night game, that last second lost when the Chiefs defense 63 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: stood around and watched the klutz quarterback for Jacksonville, Trevor 64 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: Lawrence fall down multiple times and then go in the 65 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: end zone because Chris Jones decided he want to hustle. 66 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: I want a dubby anyway. So the Chiefs bounce back 67 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: and they get to win here. And the better story, though, 68 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 1: is in the losing locker room the Detroit Lions following 69 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: the loss. We had a rhubarb that took place there 70 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: following the loss, as the Lion's safety Brian Branch boiling 71 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: over and got into it. He refused to do a 72 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: postgame clappity Clap Dappity DApp with Patrick Maholmes, and Branch 73 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: instead decided he wanted to deliver a right hook to 74 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: a man wearing a helmet, which generally is not a 75 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: great idea, but he decided to do it anyway, and 76 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: he threw a punch there at Juju Smith Schuster. After 77 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: the end of the game, the teams are coming together 78 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: to exchange niceties. That didn't seem very nice, but I 79 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 1: don't know, maybe it was. It was like a nice 80 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: friendly punch have been there right at midfield. So let 81 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: us discuss the question how disappointing, how disappointing is this 82 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: overall performance for Dan Campbell's Detroit Lions as they end 83 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: up on the wrong side of the scoreboard and not 84 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: even close in the second half. So I've got ice bucket, 85 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: toy Poodle, and Mighty Mississippi and we will combine all 86 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: of these things together and we are going to put 87 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 1: the biscuit in the basket, is what we're going to do. 88 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,559 Speaker 1: So a this one obviously stinks. It's like a sting 89 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: from a hornet for the Lions here because this was 90 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 1: supposed to be as well. The Chiefs aren't that good, 91 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 1: but still they're at home. It's prime time. You're going 92 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: against Mahomes and those guys. So this is a measuring 93 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 1: stick situation for Detroit, a barometer about where you are 94 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: right now and how you match up, and a little 95 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: bit of a gut check even though the Chiefs don't 96 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 1: have a great record, and so where do you actually stand? 97 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: Let's see where do you actually stand? Man? Okay, big 98 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 1: boy stage right there Monday night or Sunday night rather 99 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: with NBC and all that and how'd that work out? Yeah, 100 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: on this night, on that particular night, Sunday night, you 101 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 1: did not measure up. You just didn't. The game was 102 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 1: not even really close in the second half, right, it 103 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: was not. You watched the end. The Chiefs were in 104 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:27,559 Speaker 1: total control of this thing. And this wasn't cute little 105 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: Detroit hosting the Chicago Bears in Motown on a Sunday 106 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,039 Speaker 1: afternoon at Ford Field. This was not that. This was 107 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: Zarowhead National TV, big bright lights and all that stuff, 108 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 1: supposedly big boy football for the Lions here and an 109 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 1: angry Kansas City Chiefs team, and we saw what happened. 110 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: For the past month. Dan Campbell's Lions were the NFL's 111 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: IT team. I was asking my weekly appearance on with 112 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 1: my friend Bob Fesco show in Kansas City there on 113 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: our affiliate in the mornings on Thursdays, I pop on 114 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: there and say, well, it is the top team in 115 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: the NFL. I think Dusty might have asked me that, 116 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: and I said, well, right now, the Lions, the Lions 117 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: that they were the one that stood out. And so 118 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: the Lions go out there and get whooped whoop, But 119 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: he whooped in the second half of this game here, 120 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: So all the attitude and the fake kneecap biting, all 121 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: of that. So then Mahomes and the Chiefs come out 122 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: and absolutely slap them in the mouth in the second 123 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: half of this game. And some will say, well, the 124 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: Lions were shorthanded, their defense was missing some people and 125 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: all that. Well, you still have to play the game. 126 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: You play the game with with who's out there and 127 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: no excuses. And Kansas City again defensively, they controlled the 128 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: game and offense compared to how they had played recently. 129 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: This was a night and day throwback performance, vintage performance here. 130 00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: Twenty six first downs, three hundred and fifty five yards, 131 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: the Chiefs toying with them in the first half and 132 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: then never trailed after halftime. They led from soup to 133 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: nuts in the second half all the way through, and 134 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: Aiden Hutchinson, that Detroit defense looking like a team there 135 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: that was taking part in the ice buck bucket challenge, 136 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: and they did not handle the ice water, did not 137 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: handle that very well. 138 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 4: There. 139 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: They got hypothermia. Bad job by them, reality check, slap boom, 140 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: all that stuff. As they go down the Lions go 141 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: down there. Now, Dan Campbell is the head coach of 142 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: the Detroit football team, and we're gonna get his comments 143 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: in a minut. Let's go to Jared Golf though, here's 144 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: Jared Goff. This is Jared Golf on the ineptitude of 145 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions. Take a listen. On offense, I thought. 146 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 5: We hadn't move the ball decently, I think with limited 147 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 5: possessions certainly, and so were they on offense. We were 148 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,559 Speaker 5: kind of both playing that game of long possessions. 149 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: And when you. 150 00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 5: Play the game you got a score, you gotta fishing 151 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 5: with touchdowns, and they did and we didn't. That first 152 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 5: drive getting the touchdown have been nice field goals, you know, 153 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 5: consolation prize there. But then we had a couple of 154 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 5: drives we just didn't three an hour or five an 155 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 5: hour at front and yeah, so if you're gonna play 156 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 5: that time possession game, you gotta score at the end 157 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 5: of him and they did it more than we did. 158 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: So clearly my TV is not working because I did 159 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 1: not see that game. I did not see the game 160 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: that Jared Goff described there at all. I think Jared 161 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: Goff matter have had a concussion or something like that. 162 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: That was a welcome back to her situation for the 163 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: MotorCity kiddies. Now, let's not gloss over. Let us knock 164 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: gloss over the end of the game. As safety Brian 165 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: Branch refusing the niceties from Patrick Mahomes. As we said there, 166 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: Mahomes offering to give him a handshake or a little 167 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 1: fist bump there, and instead he decided to wallop. It 168 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 1: was a mollywop Juju Smith Schuster in the helmet. Now 169 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: it's dumb because the guy's wearing a helmet, So it's 170 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 1: it's just stupid because the guy's got a helmet on 171 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: and all that stuff, and not as actually a real 172 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: tough guy move. You're not Rocky Balboa out there, and 173 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 1: you're the guy the Lions here who got knocked out 174 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: in the third and fourth round. And then your guy 175 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: threw a tantrum after the game. Who goofed? I've got 176 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,079 Speaker 1: to know on the way out the Now, the Lions 177 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: are good and all that, but that was pretty pathetic. 178 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: Here's Dan Campbell on the extra curricular activities post game 179 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: in Arrowhead. 180 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 4: I'm disappointed because you know, it's been a long time 181 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 4: since you're watching somebody kneel it three times in front 182 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 4: of you, and it's not even close. You know, you're 183 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 4: down two scores. I mean, we got we got worked 184 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 4: pretty good. So so yeah, it's disappointing. It's really disappointing. 185 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: Okay, well, the Lions go down there, the Chiefs still 186 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: at the grown up table there, moving on to the 187 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: other side, and that would be the winning side, the 188 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 1: Kansas City side from their perspective. Does this count? Here's 189 00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 1: the question. Does this count as a state victory for 190 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: Andy Reid and the Chiefs here in week six? Al Right, 191 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:14,959 Speaker 1: So now here's the problem. That was a statement win 192 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: as much as a Week six NFL game can be 193 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:18,959 Speaker 1: a statement win. 194 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 4: Right. 195 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:25,719 Speaker 1: Mahomes and Kelsey were wobbly, very wobbly, uh for the 196 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: beginning part of the season, and and so this was 197 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,719 Speaker 1: one of those situations like, hey, we're still around, you know, 198 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: remember us, We're still here. We haven't left. We're just 199 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 1: off to the side, and you know, we have every 200 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: intent of still being here at the end of the 201 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 1: year and all that stuff. And there was just a 202 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:47,439 Speaker 1: little more juice, just a little more right there for 203 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: one night, anyway, whether this has any kind of continuation 204 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: or not, for one night, the Chiefs look like the 205 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,199 Speaker 1: Chiefs of recent years and you know they they is 206 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 1: that going to continue ive? Who knows you We'll see 207 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: the swagger was back there. That was like a toy 208 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: poodle marking its territory on a hydrant, if you know 209 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,319 Speaker 1: what I mean. Right there, nobody beats the whiz. They 210 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,559 Speaker 1: took care of that right there. You could see from 211 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: the opening drive that it's say, hey, this is our 212 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 1: house and all that stuff. And they went there two 213 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty seven yards to get from Mahomes. She 214 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 1: had three touchdown passes, one touchdown on the ground. So 215 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: all around, sharing the sugar and the defense for Kansasy, 216 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,839 Speaker 1: which was good in Jacksonville. It's not like they were 217 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,679 Speaker 1: bad in Jacksonville until the final play when they stood 218 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,439 Speaker 1: there and watched Lawrence fumble and futs around and getting 219 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,679 Speaker 1: the end zone and all that stuff. But the second half, 220 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,199 Speaker 1: that is when Detroit really flexed, right, they really did. 221 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: Detroit's firepower was totally neutralized in the second half of 222 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 1: this game. I'm on Ross Saint Brown rather quiet. Jared Goff, 223 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: despite what he said, nothing special, nothing, just kind of 224 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 1: a blah blah type situation, couldn't get much of anything 225 00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: other than those checkdowns. Charlie Checkdown for much of the 226 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 1: second half there for the Detroit Lions, and so they 227 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: scored seven points over the final thirty minutes. Now, I 228 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,319 Speaker 1: didn't play in the NFL, so I off to check 229 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,319 Speaker 1: with Ryan Clark on this. But I don't think that's good. 230 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,439 Speaker 1: I don't think that's good. And so Kansas City and 231 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: then slamming the door shut. And a credit to Steve Spagnolo, 232 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator there is his guys were flying all 233 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: over the place in this one. And that is the 234 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: first time in weeks that I watched Kansas City and thought, Okay, 235 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: there you go. All that crap. He said, Wow, championship, 236 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 1: DNA and all that stuff. That's it the mode Joe Potato, 237 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,839 Speaker 1: big time win, big time win. So there you go. 238 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: That's the roadside billboard the Chiefs have put up for 239 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: the rest of the NFL said, you thought we were slipping, 240 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 1: I think again. Now they had looked like a team 241 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 1: that was sleepwalking, losing to all the good teams they 242 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: had played and then beating the bad teams they had played. 243 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 1: And this is the first quality opponent the Chiefs had beaten. 244 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: The Ravens are a bad team. The Giants are a 245 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: bad team, but they would last week. They're still a 246 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: bad team. You know, don't mistake Jackson Dart playing well. 247 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 1: They didn't play that game. That was a Russell Wilson game. 248 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: That started the Sunday night game against can Zaw City. 249 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: So everything seemed like it was in place. Even Andy 250 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: Reid's mustache seemed like it belonged there. It had extra 251 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: hair to it. It was good to go there. So 252 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: the lesson do not sleep, do not sleep on the 253 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: Chiefs there. They are still the standard, the gold standard 254 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: in the AFC. And you know here we'll see Buffalo 255 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 1: plays on Monday Night. The Bills play, I believe Atlanta 256 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: on the Monday night card. And that's the other team. 257 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: I mean, look around. Who else the Ravens have fallen 258 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: apart Pittsburgh's four and one? Are you considering them legit 259 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: in the AFC? The Chargers? Who's the t all? Right? Now, 260 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: last word, let's address the heel A monster in the room, 261 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: the story that everyone will be talking about over the 262 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: next twenty four hours when they talk about the NFL weekend. 263 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: And that'll be one week, one week after it was 264 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: Uglee with a capitol U Ugu Lee for the Chiefs. 265 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: They flipped the script in this game against the Lions. 266 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: I'm talking about from the officiating standpoint on Sunday, the 267 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: Detroit Lions the opponent. There there were no accepted penalties, none, none. 268 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: Against Kansas City. Detroit declined an offside penalty on Chris 269 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: Jones late in the fourth quarter. But that's it, that's all. 270 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: That's all there was. Detroit was penalized four times for 271 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: thirty eight yards, and those mistakes swung the game. All 272 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: four of them swung the game. It's not my opinion, 273 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: it's a fact. You can go down point by point. 274 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: An illegal motion penalty wiped out a trick play touchdown 275 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: on the first quarter against Detroit. There was a defensive 276 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: pass interference call that extended Kansas City's go ahead drive 277 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: before halftime. The roughing the passer penalty in the fourth 278 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: quarter set up a touchdown that pushed the Chiefs lead 279 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: to double digits. So you see where I'm going with this. Now, 280 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: question here's the question, what do you make of the 281 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 1: Chiefs being we are told the second team in the 282 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: last seventy years, just the second team in the last 283 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: seventy years, to have no accepted penalties against them in 284 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: a regulation NFL games, only the second time in seventy 285 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: years that this has happened. So this one, Hey, it's smells, 286 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: all right, I mean just calling it's the smells it does. 287 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: I mean it reeks of the shield doing what the 288 00:16:55,920 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: shield does best, protecting the crown jewel and above buying 289 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 1: into a conspiracy. I'm not. I mean, you didn't say 290 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 1: by the fourth quarter, I didn't notice the body language 291 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 1: of the Detroit line, some of the guys in the secondary. 292 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: It looked like they were in a telephone tree with 293 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 1: the irs and they were getting bounced around and all 294 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: that stuff. Detroit had measured the fourth penalties for thirty 295 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,119 Speaker 1: eight yards in this game, and just about every single 296 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 1: one of them, as we laid out here, took points 297 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 1: off the board or helped Kansas City put points on 298 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: the board. And that is not just bad luck. Okay, 299 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 1: that's not just bad luck. That is again the heal 300 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:42,479 Speaker 1: of monster in the room, biting the kneecap, nibble, nibble, nibble, 301 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 1: right at the kneecap there. And this is the part, 302 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: this is the part where the NFL deep state comes slithering, 303 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: slithering right out. Now, is that the Taylor Swift effect 304 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,719 Speaker 1: is that what that is was a phone call made. 305 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: Was this a point of reference? A point of emphasis 306 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: for the NFL referees in this game? It stands out 307 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:14,439 Speaker 1: so much that it'd be hard to believe for a 308 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: rational person that this was not a point of emphasis 309 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 1: for the NFL. The officials are given their directions before 310 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,439 Speaker 1: every game what to look for, what's a point of emphasis. 311 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: I find it impossible that a message was not sent 312 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 1: down to just kind of observe and only call the 313 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 1: obvious penalties. Don't interfere with Kansas City at all. And 314 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 1: you've got the most marketable pop star on the planet 315 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 1: who's now an NFL wag wag Wag wag wag. She's 316 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,959 Speaker 1: a wag. Yeah, And you think the league wants a 317 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: sub five hundred, two and four Kansas City team, they 318 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: lose this game, they'd be two and four poase. No, No, 319 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: they want those cutaways, those reaction shots, they want the 320 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: merch sales. The TV hype is it built in. It's 321 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: baked into the NFL. It's absolutely baked in. And this game, 322 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: with the lack of penalties, was the shortest Sunday night 323 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 1: game in fourteen years. It's been fourteen years, fourth shortest ever, 324 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 1: fourth shortest ever. And of course, how does that happen. 325 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 1: That happens because there's no those no penalty flags of 326 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 1: the officials. I'm sure it was just a quinkie dink 327 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 1: that they decided to swallow the whistle like they were 328 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 1: entering the witness protection program and they're like, that's like 329 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 1: those kids. Kids are supposed to be seen, not heard. 330 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: And that's the referees there. And then when the NFL 331 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: wants that's the lesson.

Doub Bears, Dob Bears, fresh off 390 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: the bye week, trying to snap out of that hibernation. 391 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 1: The Chicago Bears team against the squad formerly known as 392 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 1: the Redskins. Right, they were the match up there and 393 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams and Dob Bears get the better of Jaden 394 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: Daniels if he did not see the game as they 395 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 1: take down the Commanders on the final play as time 396 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 1: ran out, Chicago defeating Washington by one point twenty five 397 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 1: twenty four on a thirty eight yard field goal by 398 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 1: kicker Jake Moody. Yes, the same Jake Moody who was 399 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: fired by the forty nine Ers. The same Jake Moody 400 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 1: who was at Loggerheads with his teammates on the sidelines 401 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: because he missed so many kicks in a forty nine 402 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: er uniform. Well, he makes the game winner as he 403 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: was the interim kicker there for the team from Chicago, 404 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears, paced by DeAndre Swift, he ran for 405 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: one hundred and eight yards on just fourteen carries. I'm 406 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 1: told that's pretty good. I'm told that's pretty good, and 407 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,159 Speaker 1: also grabbed a pair of receptions for sixty seven yards, 408 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: including a fifty five yard catch and run yack and 409 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: e yack yards after the catch there for a touchdown 410 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 1: against a very sloppy Washington defense poor tackling there by 411 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: that defensive units of the Bears are over five hundred. 412 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,959 Speaker 1: Don't tell anybody, but the Chicago Bears are over five hundred. 413 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,439 Speaker 1: At three and two, They're coming off their bye week 414 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,120 Speaker 1: and they have now extended their winning streak to not one, 415 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,159 Speaker 1: not two, but three apes in a row. So the 416 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,919 Speaker 1: Bears have won three straight under Ben Johnson. But the 417 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: better story is in the losing locker room. So that 418 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 1: is where we will begin, and the question what went wrong? 419 00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: What went wrong for Jaden Daniels and the Washington football team. 420 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 1: And I've got Bart Simpson, Hollywood Squares, and Will Smith 421 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 1: and we'll combine all of these things together and make 422 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 1: the Baba Ganoosh. We're gonna make the Baba Ganoosh is 423 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,360 Speaker 1: what we're gonna make. So to kick off here, this 424 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 1: was a night to absolutely forget for Jade and Daniels, 425 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 1: the prodigy, the breakout star of the twenty twenty four 426 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,680 Speaker 1: NFL season, not just Jaden Daniels, but the Commanders in general. 427 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,640 Speaker 1: Jayden and Daniels is the headliner and all that. And 428 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 1: my word, and it's a conjoined word, but my word 429 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 1: for this night for Jaden Daniels and the Commanders is 430 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:44,439 Speaker 1: self inflicted. Self inflicted is the term I will use 431 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 1: here most games, as a rule, we have several truisms, 432 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 1: if you will, several of the points that are part 433 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: of the ethos of the show. Better stories in the 434 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 1: losing locker room and most games are lost, not one. 435 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,159 Speaker 1: These two things are related. You see the better stories 436 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: in losing locker room because most of the time somebody 437 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: eft up to cost their team the game. This is 438 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,679 Speaker 1: a great example of it. This is exhibit exhibit to 439 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,159 Speaker 1: exhibit A. If you will exhibit A on this you 440 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 1: don't need a zib Bruder film style frame by frame 441 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: breakdown to figure it out. Jade and Daniels. I know, 442 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 1: Halloween's a few weeks away here, we're in the middle 443 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 1: of October. So but Jane Daniels picked up his Halloween 444 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 1: costume a little early. He decided he wanted to be 445 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: Bart Simpson. And he said, you know, when you're Bart Simpson, 446 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 1: you got to hand out candy, and I'm going to 447 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: hand out butterfinger And he used his butter fingers to 448 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,680 Speaker 1: give the game to the team from Chicago. Daniels out 449 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 1: there in the rain, rainy night and auditioning for the remake. 450 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: I don't know if this is still on the air, 451 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 1: the America's Funniest Home Videos. That used to be a 452 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: think back in the day, but it still really but 453 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: it must be America's Funniest Cell Phone Videos exactly that. Yeah, 454 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 1: no home video. But he had Jaden Daniels one interception, 455 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,400 Speaker 1: he had two fumbles, lost one of the two fumbles 456 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 1: in the game. Also, his running back Jacoby Krosky Merritt 457 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:18,400 Speaker 1: also fumbled on his own. So those three hairballs coughed 458 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 1: off by the Washington football team gift wrapped thirteen points, 459 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:30,159 Speaker 1: thirteen points for Eugene in Chicago's bears as they get it, 460 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 1: and now they might as well have left the Amazon 461 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 1: package on the porch. And then Washington just invites Caleb 462 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: Williams to come over there and come pick it up 463 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 1: before the porch pirates get it. And he picked up 464 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 1: the packages. I like the package. That's a good package. 465 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 1: And here's the thing, Chicago wasn't even that shark like. 466 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:53,199 Speaker 1: This was not the most esthetically pleasing matchup. It was not. 467 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,919 Speaker 1: Chicago had nine penalty I think were over eighty yards 468 00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: in penalties. They were begging, begging Washington to put the 469 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 1: game away, but Washington said, na, na, you know we 470 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 1: can't have it. We want you. Very similar to the 471 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,120 Speaker 1: end of that Dodger Brewers game in the NLCS where 472 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:12,680 Speaker 1: the Dodgers tried to give the game away and the 473 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 1: Brewers like Pogo sticked out of the batter's box and said, 474 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,119 Speaker 1: we don't want the game. And then the same thing 475 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,359 Speaker 1: here the magic carpar It was a magic carbreak. We 476 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 1: agree on that it was a magic carpet ride. Last 477 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: season NFC title game. And there's some turbulence going on 478 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:32,680 Speaker 1: now right, there's some turbulence. This is not a team 479 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 1: that looks like a playoff team right now, just based 480 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 1: on what we saw here recently. They did beat the Chargers, 481 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 1: the beaten and broken Chargers in the previous game. But 482 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: if you look at Dan Quinn Medicine Man's Washington Commanders, 483 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 1: one week they are the Grandfather clock ticking perfectly, and 484 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 1: the next week they're busted in in a pawn shop. 485 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 1: And it goes back and forth, it goes back and forth. 486 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 1: And then on the other side, the Bears, they come 487 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 1: out of the bye week, they're feeling all good about themselves, right, 488 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 1: they win their third straight game. And we were goofing 489 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 1: on Ben Johnson earlier in the year, some turbulence to 490 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:14,920 Speaker 1: begin the seasons, behind the scenes, drama, o rama, and 491 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 1: now he's like, wow, he could be the coach of 492 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: the month, you know, why not? Coach of the month? 493 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 1: All excited. So the Bears feeling good about themselves, Washington 494 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 1: not so much. 495 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller 496 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. 497 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 1: Attention everyone, and word is password, you idiot?
