Speaker 3: Welcome in What's Right with Nick Wright, Episode one twenty
Speaker 3: one on.
Speaker 4: What is Let's just be honest.
Speaker 3: Here a truly glorious NFL Monday. And it's not just
Speaker 3: glorious because the bet we gave out before to all
Speaker 3: of you on our preseason gambling show, which just printed
Speaker 3: money for the audience.
Speaker 2: This year.
Speaker 3: The gambling show as a whole, the preseason one, that is,
Speaker 3: the regular gambling show is broken. About even two and
Speaker 3: two this week in a little backdoor cover by the Jags,
Speaker 3: grinted us from going three to one, but that's fine.
Speaker 3: Puts us six and four thus far through the playoffs.
Speaker 4: We'll take it.
Speaker 3: It's no big deal. We gave you fifty to one
Speaker 3: Chiefs Niners Super Bowl before the year, and there's four
Speaker 3: teams remaining and one of them is the Chiefs and
Speaker 3: one of them is the Niners. We will discuss whether
Speaker 3: or not we are cashing that ticket out.
Speaker 4: Spoiler alert.
Speaker 3: Never in my life would I hedge a bet or
Speaker 3: cash out of bet. There's a reason the sportsbooks give
Speaker 3: you that option. It's not to be kind, it's because
Speaker 3: they want you to do it. We'll discuss that later
Speaker 3: in the show, but we must of course start with
Speaker 3: the AFC. But before we do that, what we are
Speaker 3: not discussing on today's show Novak Djokovic advances in the
Speaker 3: Australian Open. As much as I would love to do
Speaker 3: a Knicks tennis corner, today is.
Speaker 2: Not the day.
Speaker 3: The Lakers, down twenty five at the half, beat the
Speaker 3: Blazers now one. It's two games, but one loss out
Speaker 3: of the sixth seed. And by the way, I don't
Speaker 3: know if you know this, you're gonna get to see
Speaker 3: lebron live and in person in a week. We got
Speaker 3: four Lakers nets tickets and then you're not gonna get
Speaker 3: to see Lakers Knicks because I bought just two tickets
Speaker 3: for that game, but you're gonna get to go to
Speaker 3: one of them. And Zaire Williams says, forget my field
Speaker 3: goal percentage. I'm gonna shoot n eighty footer and make it.
Speaker 3: None of that, though, is the news of the day,
Speaker 3: demon Zay, what are we starting with today?
Speaker 2: My friend? All right, man, I'm starting to sound like
Speaker 2: a broken record on Monday mornings.
Speaker 4: But what are you gonna say?
Speaker 2: You were right? You were right?
Speaker 4: Oh, I was right.
Speaker 2: Everybody kept saying they were the Bills with a team
Speaker 2: to beat and Alan would be MVP. You never had
Speaker 2: faith in the Bill. Feel free to gloat right now.
Speaker 4: Okay, here's the thing. I don't need to gloat.
Speaker 3: What I do need to say is this, never again
Speaker 3: should I should anyone be able to accuse me of Oh, Nick,
Speaker 3: you don't really not only do you not really believe
Speaker 3: what you're saying, but you're saying it out of fear.
Speaker 3: That has been like that specific accusation has been lodged
Speaker 3: at me three times about three very different teams. It
Speaker 3: first was lodged at me about the Clippers with Kawhi
Speaker 3: and Paul George when I said they were around two ceiling,
Speaker 3: I bet on that. I bet against them in that series.
Speaker 3: Everyone's like, oh, Lebron Kawhi, Lebron Kawhi might be the
Speaker 3: best player in the league, not only the best player
Speaker 3: in LA and ever, And I said, eh, they don't
Speaker 3: really seem to have an size.
Speaker 4: We don't have need to religate the Clippers thing.
Speaker 3: But as you know, we now smash cut five years
Speaker 3: into the Kawhi of Paul George's era, and Kauhi has
Speaker 3: played in zero conference finals game, let alone NBA finals game.
Speaker 4: I was right. The next time that was lodged to
Speaker 4: me was about the Nets.
Speaker 3: Oh, Nick, you know the Nets are a dominant team,
Speaker 3: said eh, I don't know how they're gonna guard Giannis
Speaker 3: in a series ever seems important? Oh, Nick, you don't
Speaker 3: really believe that.
Speaker 4: And then they have played in zero conference finals.
Speaker 3: And the next time it was lodged about at me
Speaker 3: all year long was about the big bad defending zero
Speaker 3: times Super Bowl champion Buffalo Bills that all year long
Speaker 3: I said was overvalued.
Speaker 4: That all year long, I.
Speaker 3: Said, we were prematurely anointing that all year long, I
Speaker 3: seem to be the only person judging Josh Allen by
Speaker 3: the standard we have judged every other quarterback in the
Speaker 3: league in its history, before they had proven they can
Speaker 3: win the big game. I need you to not make
Speaker 3: critical errors, and I need to see you do it
Speaker 3: before I know you can do it. And I was
Speaker 3: a hater, I was trolling. I was giving out hot
Speaker 3: takes that I didn't actually believe. And then what did
Speaker 3: we just see? We just saw the Buffalo Bills melt down.
Speaker 3: Scott Kasmar had an amazing stat. All year long, the
Speaker 3: Bills had five drives where they trailed by double digits
Speaker 3: and they all took place in the same game, a
Speaker 3: game they won against the Baltimore Ravens, the game they're
Speaker 3: down twenty to three, and there was all year long,
Speaker 3: there was one game and it was five total drives
Speaker 3: where they weren't either leading or within a score.
Speaker 4: And then in their.
Speaker 3: Biggest game of their season, the game to give them
Speaker 3: the opportunity to get redemption for his store is such
Speaker 3: a historic choke job of last year's divisional round that
Speaker 3: the NFL changed the rules for him, and they were
Speaker 3: gonna get it in perfect conditions in a dome. All
Speaker 3: they had to do was win a home game. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and they had seven drives where they trailed by double digits.
Speaker 4: They weren't in that game.
Speaker 3: They could have been in the game seventeen to seven
Speaker 3: with the ball first in goal and Josh Allen sales
Speaker 3: the ball over. I don't know if Stefan Diggs or
Speaker 3: Gabe Davis has said whoever it was on third and goal,
Speaker 3: settle for a field goal and were off to the races.
Speaker 4: And this Bills.
Speaker 3: Team now is undeniably, unquestionably, inarguably not the best team
Speaker 3: in the league, not the best team in their own conference,
Speaker 3: not the second best team in their own conference. What
Speaker 3: the Buffalo Bills are is in the discussion as the
Speaker 3: third best team in their own conference.
Speaker 4: What Josh Allen.
Speaker 3: Is is nothing more and nothing less than in the
Speaker 3: discussion for the third best quarterback in his own conference.
Speaker 4: That's it.
Speaker 2: Well, I would.
Speaker 3: Love to hear someone make the credible argument that one
Speaker 3: could make for Alan over Mahomes or alanover Burrow. Spoiler alert,
Speaker 3: it doesn't exist. It does not exist. Josh Allen has
Speaker 3: now played eight career playoff games. He was historically great
Speaker 3: in two of them. One of those he ended up losing,
Speaker 3: not his fault. That was the Chiefs game last year.
Speaker 3: He was very good in another one that was the
Speaker 3: game against the Call in twenty twenty. He was okay
Speaker 3: in one more, and he was down right bad in four.
Speaker 3: Half of his career playoff games.
Speaker 4: He's been bad.
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow has been bad in six career playoff games
Speaker 3: in zero. Mahomes has been downright bad in twelve career
Speaker 3: playoff games and a half of one the second half
Speaker 3: of the AFC title game last year against Joe Burrow.
Speaker 4: Here's the bigger problems for the Buffalo Bills. I said all.
Speaker 3: Week, and I sat on Sunday on social on Twitter,
Speaker 3: and folks at the time, folks pretended I was wrong
Speaker 3: or disagreed, and now everyone's having the conversations. Losing that
Speaker 3: type of game at home, when you're the preseason favorite,
Speaker 3: when you're the favorite in that game by six points,
Speaker 3: when the other team's on three backup offensive linemen, Losing
Speaker 3: that game in any fashion is the type of loss
Speaker 3: that makes a franchise have to take a really hard
Speaker 3: look in the mirror and figure out why we're going backwards,
Speaker 3: losing it because you got dog walked for sixty minutes
Speaker 3: because you were never in the game and type of
Speaker 3: loss makes franchise have to make some almost impossible decisions.
Speaker 2: You seem very happy with your righteousness. Don't you think
Speaker 2: there's a little chance you should have been rooting for
Speaker 2: Buffalo being that the Chiefs can't beat Somes?
Speaker 4: Okay, so we'll talk about that later. Listen. I am
Speaker 4: obviously a Chiefs fan, right, but I do.
Speaker 3: Not view the entire prism of the NFL through the
Speaker 3: lens of what's best for my team. And here is
Speaker 3: why you won't hear Bengals slander from me, because the
Speaker 3: Bills stuff was never slander, it was truth telling. If
Speaker 3: the Bengals come into Arrowhead and win again, they will
Speaker 3: have earned it.
Speaker 2: They will they will.
Speaker 3: Have accomplished the things people pretended Buffalo, did you tip
Speaker 3: your cap to them? Am I concerned? Of course I'm concerned.
Speaker 3: Am I even more concerned because Mahomes's legs seems really
Speaker 3: messed up?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Could the Bengals win that game? You bet your ass
Speaker 3: they could win that game. What do you have you
Speaker 3: looked at the lines?
Speaker 2: What Chiefs Bengals?
Speaker 4: What do you think the line is?
Speaker 2: Shoot? Probably Chiefs minus one and a half.
Speaker 3: That is exactly right. Wow, you hadn't looked yet. Great job.
Speaker 4: Well you have really grown up right before my eyes
Speaker 4: on the gambling.
Speaker 2: But that is it?
Speaker 4: So that is that to me? That tells us Vegas
Speaker 4: thinks Mahomes is really hurt.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's Chiefs minus four at least if Mahomes doesn't
Speaker 3: get hurt. Minus one and a half is scary. So
Speaker 3: but we'll get to the Chiefs in a moment. So
Speaker 3: it's not all about you know, what's best for the Chiefs.
Speaker 3: It's a when it comes to my professional life, it's
Speaker 3: about telling the audience what's actually happening.
Speaker 4: And I lost my train of thought for a moment there.
Speaker 2: What I was I was for Buffalo.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, But before before you even said anything, what
Speaker 3: I was trying to go through is for Buffalo. What
Speaker 3: this means for them? Oh, here's here's what it is.
Speaker 3: This is via Scott Kashmir kasmar Uh, who's a great
Speaker 3: follow on Twitter. He's really Gabe. You would love him.
Speaker 3: Gabe's our producer. Nobody dislikes Brady more than this guy.
Speaker 3: But he's also like a really smart football He gave
Speaker 3: things that might be him Nah. He he's on the
Speaker 3: Rob Parker train of calling him the loat instead of
Speaker 3: the goat, the luckiest of all time.
Speaker 4: He does this whole thing. But he had an article
Speaker 4: for five thirty eight, five.
Speaker 3: Years ago that's still true, which is, no, every single
Speaker 3: coach quarterback combo that has ever won a Super Bowl
Speaker 3: won their first super Bowl together within five years of
Speaker 3: being together. So there has never been a quarterback and
Speaker 3: coach that have been together for more than five years
Speaker 3: that ended up ever winning a super Bowl if they
Speaker 3: didn't at least win their first one within those first
Speaker 3: five years. He pointed this out. Credit to him, I
Speaker 3: wouldn't have known this. There were two this year coach
Speaker 3: quarterback combos that have been together five plus years that
Speaker 3: this was year five and they hadn't won a Super
Speaker 3: Bowl yet. Those two were John Harbaugh and Lamar looks
Speaker 3: like we're headed for divorce and Sean McDermott and Josh Allen.
Speaker 4: Now we're not headed for divorce there, but how do they.
Speaker 3: Cross this massive delta they clearly need to cross. Because
Speaker 3: here's the other thing that was missed in all of
Speaker 3: the commentary last year or this year.
Speaker 4: About last year, people acted like.
Speaker 3: The Chiefs Bills game was the Super Bowl because it
Speaker 3: was between the two teams everyone thought were the best,
Speaker 3: and because it was a classic. And you call that
Speaker 3: a coin flip game, Fine, the Chiefs got lucky. I disagree,
Speaker 3: but fine, fat Everyone has just acted like if the
Speaker 3: Bills won that game, they'd have won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3: Here's the problem with that. The Bills lost to a
Speaker 3: team that the very next round then lost to Cincinnati,
Speaker 3: and then Cincinnati in the very next round lost to
Speaker 3: the Rams. So last year they weren't good enough to
Speaker 3: beat the team that ended up being the league's bronze medalist.
Speaker 3: And this year, if we needed more evidence that maybe
Speaker 3: even if the Bills had won that game last year,
Speaker 3: he ins Kansas City, that Cincinnati could have been the
Speaker 3: next week and gone to Buffalo and whooped their ass.
Speaker 3: The only piece of evidence I need to present you
Speaker 3: is this week's game. They're not close. And it was
Speaker 3: galling to me the way the media would not be
Speaker 3: consistent in their analysis of this team. You don't get
Speaker 3: to say, and they tried to pull the same shit
Speaker 3: with Mahomes all year in a different way. You don't
Speaker 3: get to say, Von Miller put the Bills over the top.
Speaker 3: Have Von Miller be the difference in the win over
Speaker 3: the Chiefs have Von Miller be their most consistent guy.
Speaker 3: And then when von Miller sadly tears his ACL, pretend
Speaker 3: that that doesn't change the math for this team.
Speaker 2: But everyone was.
Speaker 3: So pop committed in the Bills being this legendary juggernaut
Speaker 3: because Josh having him throw the ball seventy five yards
Speaker 3: in the air, you know what he needed to be
Speaker 3: able to do yesterday, Throw the ball seven yards in
Speaker 3: the air on third and two, not take a deep
Speaker 3: shot down the sideline to gave Davis take the first down.
Speaker 3: It's Peyton Manning says, don't go broke taking a profit
Speaker 3: and every other When Mahomes last year had the first
Speaker 3: slump of his career, having already won an MVP, had
Speaker 3: having already won a Super Bowl MVP, having already been
Speaker 3: to another Super Bowl, and he started turning the ball
Speaker 3: over at a rate we had never seen from him
Speaker 3: before and briefly was among the league leaders in turnovers.
Speaker 4: He got roasted for it.
Speaker 3: Josh Allen finishes this season with thirty four combined fumbles
Speaker 3: and picks, and it's I'm the one person like that.
Speaker 3: It seems like a problem. Well, it was a problem,
Speaker 3: and yesterday the bigger problem is they lost without Josh
Speaker 3: Allen turning the ball over. Now he did at the
Speaker 3: very end, but are now it's seventeen to two minutes left.
Speaker 3: They just got their asses kicked. Start to finish. Long
Speaker 3: ways to go and in twenty twenty. And there is
Speaker 3: the last thing I'll say on this. We have seen
Speaker 3: this story before. This is the other part about this
Speaker 3: job that I think folks in the job I wish
Speaker 3: took more seriously and understood that those of us on
Speaker 3: national television. And I'm lucky enough to work with a
Speaker 3: couple guys who take it this seriously and understand the
Speaker 3: history and know it, which is why our TV show work.
Speaker 3: But they pay us a ton of money for fake jobs.
Speaker 3: You have a responsibility to the audience to understand that
Speaker 3: things aren't always unprecedented, and history can tell us a story.
Speaker 3: In nineteen ninety eight, Demons, the Minnesota Vikings, had one
Speaker 3: of the greatest teams ever to not make a Super Bowl.
Speaker 3: They had drafted Randy Moss. Our friend Chris Carter was
Speaker 3: still there. Randall Cunningham came out of retirement. That team
Speaker 3: went fifteen to one and got unlucky in the conference
Speaker 3: championship game. Everyone's like, oh, they'll be back, They'll be back.
Speaker 3: And then the next year they took a bit of
Speaker 3: a step backwards. And then the next year they were
Speaker 3: back in the conference championship game and they lost forty
Speaker 3: one to nothing. Whoa, And they never made it back.
Speaker 3: And then Chris left and then Randy left, and then
Speaker 3: the team was turned over to Dante Culpepper. And who
Speaker 3: by the way, there is that it had already been
Speaker 3: turned over in the two thousand season. I believe there
Speaker 3: is no one's ready for this conversation of is Josh
Speaker 3: Allen a white? Dante Culpepper. Nobody's ready for that conversation.
Speaker 3: But I might unveil that on television later today. Oh, Demonse,
Speaker 3: you've got to watch his highlights. You've got to watch now.
Speaker 3: He got his knee blown up, so it derailed his career.
Speaker 3: But you've got to watch some Culpeper highlights. He's the biggest,
Speaker 3: strongest guy. He can throw the ball seventy yards and
Speaker 3: he's very reckless. Does he remind you of anybody? But
Speaker 3: you can't go backwards like this.
Speaker 4: You can't make a conference championship game, get whooped on
Speaker 4: the road, and be like, okay, we're say to everyone,
Speaker 4: we're obsessed with beating the Chiefs.
Speaker 3: That's what they said. After twenty twenty, build your whole
Speaker 3: team to beat them. And then the next year, because
Speaker 3: you're not good enough in the regular season, instead of
Speaker 3: playing the Chiefs again in the play in the conference
Speaker 3: championship game, you got to play him in round two
Speaker 3: in their building.
Speaker 2: Again.
Speaker 4: Blow that game.
Speaker 3: The next year, go spend one hundred and twenty million
Speaker 3: dollars for six years of an aging pass rusher in
Speaker 3: von Miller, because you need one more piece to put
Speaker 3: you over the top. Do all that because Josh Allen's
Speaker 3: contrey hasn't kicked in yet. Once again, not have If
Speaker 3: this game would have happened, it wouldn't have been in
Speaker 3: Buffalo neutral site.
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: But then that year, losing round two at home, not
Speaker 3: even against the Chiefs, and get it blown out. That
Speaker 3: is a straight trajectory downwards. If only someone could have
Speaker 3: warned you, guys next.
Speaker 2: This guy said last thing I'm gonna say about five
Speaker 2: minutes ago, that's hilarious.
Speaker 3: I told them, I told Gabe last night. We're just
Speaker 3: gonna do Bill's Chiefs in a twenty minute a block. Well,
Speaker 3: we've done seventeen minutes. We're not to the Chiefs yet.
Speaker 2: Next. All right, So your Chiefs have moved on to
Speaker 2: the AFC Championship for the fifth straight year. Yeah.
Speaker 3: By the way, just for the record, here, two teams
Speaker 3: have been to five straight conference championship games. Okay, the
Speaker 3: the Raiders did it five times in the seventies with
Speaker 3: John Madden.
Speaker 4: John Madden was the great young coach.
Speaker 2: They won one.
Speaker 3: Super Bowl, probably should have won more, went there five times.
Speaker 3: The Patriots went to eight straight from twenty eleven to
Speaker 3: twenty eighteen, which means there have now been twelve consecutive
Speaker 3: AFC Championship games either with the Patriots or the Chiefs.
Speaker 3: Because they played each other in twenty eighteen, the Chiefs
Speaker 3: kind of took the torch.
Speaker 4: What has never happened is a team hosting more than
Speaker 4: three in a row. That this will be the Chiefs.
Speaker 3: Fifth time in a row hosting the conference championship game.
Speaker 3: For some context, de Monsey, the Chiefs were in Super
Speaker 3: Bowl One. They've been around the NFL as long as
Speaker 3: there's been Super Bowls. They had never hosted a conference
Speaker 3: championship game before Mahomes was a part of the team,
Speaker 3: and now they have hosted it every year he's been
Speaker 3: the starter.
Speaker 2: Go ahead, Wow, all right, well this comes at a price. Yeah.
Speaker 2: After the game, it was revealed that Mahomes is dealing
Speaker 2: with a high ankle sprain, but they say he'll continue
Speaker 2: to play through it. You must be really worried about
Speaker 2: the Chiefs playing the Bengals with of course, yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean Mahome.
Speaker 3: We it's amazing he played through it. Yeah, that was
Speaker 3: a great win.
Speaker 4: Now there is.
Speaker 3: Mahomes has suffered three injuries in his career. In twenty nineteen,
Speaker 3: he got his kneecap just located in the regular season.
Speaker 4: They won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3: In twenty twenty, he got choked out in the playoff game.
Speaker 4: Chad Henney came in.
Speaker 3: They held on for dear life against the Browns, they
Speaker 3: went to the Super Bowl, and now this year, Uh,
Speaker 3: there's a bad injury. High ankle sprain usually knocks guys
Speaker 3: out a month. Mahomes stayed in the game, briefly, left,
Speaker 3: came back and we'll see. Listen, the and the other
Speaker 3: sneaky part of that game was the entire receiving corp
Speaker 3: did nothing.
Speaker 4: NBS had the touchdown catch. That was his only catch.
Speaker 3: Juju made one big catch I think on third down.
Speaker 3: That was his only catch. Sky Moore got the ball twice,
Speaker 3: had zero total yards. This was tight ends, but checko
Speaker 3: the seventh round running back. This is gonna be a
Speaker 3: hell of a test. It's a tough battle even if
Speaker 3: Mahomes is healthy. However, here's what I'll tell you. We
Speaker 3: have updated quarterback rankings in the NFL, and this is
Speaker 3: how they go. Mahomes is an unquestioned one with a bullet.
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow is an unquestioned two with a bullet. Who
Speaker 3: do you think I'm gonna put at number three?
Speaker 2: You're gonna put somebody else, but it should be Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts has a strong argument, and we'll get to him.
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna say Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 2: Oh, Trevor.
Speaker 4: Nope, I'm not gonna say Trevor the third best go
Speaker 4: ahead rock party. No, that's funny.
Speaker 3: The best quarterback in the league is Patrick Mahomes. The
Speaker 3: second best quarterback in the league is Joe Burrow. The
Speaker 3: third best quarterback in the league, as we saw yesterday
Speaker 3: is oh Patrick Mahomes on one leg. That's my quarterback rankings.
Speaker 3: A healthy Patrick Mahomes one, Joe Burrow two. Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 3: on one god doog leg is the third best quarterback
Speaker 3: in football and the only person better than him actually
Speaker 3: is Joe Burrow because the other person out of him
Speaker 3: is himself when he's healthy. That guy is an unbelievable
Speaker 3: football player. That is where my fandom comes into play.
Speaker 3: It is such a blessing to have him on this team,
Speaker 3: and it is also a blessing to have Travis Kelcey
Speaker 3: on this team. So I'm going to at some point
Speaker 3: graphically do this on TV, but I compiled this for
Speaker 3: the podcast earlier today. Right now, Patrick Mahomes, who is
Speaker 3: twenty seven years old, These are just playoff RECs involving
Speaker 3: these Kansas City Chiefs. Patrick Mahomes is twenty seven years old.
Speaker 3: He is already top ten in all time playoff passing
Speaker 3: touchdowns with thirty. By the way, Rogers and Montana are
Speaker 3: tied for second at forty five.
Speaker 4: Brady's got eighty eight. That's gonna be a tough one
Speaker 4: to catch, but Mahomes will be Mahomes could pass Kurt
Speaker 4: Warner and Dan Marino with three touchdown passes the rest
Speaker 4: of this postseason. Next Mahomes stat.
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes is already top sixteen in all time playoff yards.
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes is number one all time with a bullet
Speaker 3: playoff passer rating at one oh six. No one else is.
Speaker 3: I think Kurt Warner's number two at one oh two.
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes is already He is right now six all
Speaker 3: time in playoff rushing touchdowns by a quarterback. He's eleventh
Speaker 3: all time in playoff rushing yards by a quarterback. And
Speaker 3: now the really fun stuff, the non Patrick Mahomes playoff stats.
Speaker 3: Travis Kelcey number one all time playoff receiving yards per
Speaker 3: game if you've played at least twelve playoff games. Travis
Speaker 3: kelce in this football game tied Grounk for the third
Speaker 3: most receiving yards in playoff history, not by a tight
Speaker 3: end by anybody. With fifty five yards, he passes Edelman
Speaker 3: for second at more than fourteen hundred.
Speaker 4: Jerry Rice is at twenty two hundred. Unbelievable gap.
Speaker 3: Kelsey is gonna be the second most prolific playoff receiver ever.
Speaker 4: He's not even a receiver. Travis kelce already.
Speaker 3: Is number two all time in playoff receptions, behind only
Speaker 3: Jerry Rice. Travis Kelcey is already third all time in
Speaker 3: playoff touchdown behind only Rice and Grunk. One more he
Speaker 3: ties Grunk, Uh, the I've got one more for you,
Speaker 3: and this one will blow your mind.
Speaker 2: Like Dalton Schultz with the clock over here.
Speaker 4: With yeah, I don't care.
Speaker 3: With one more sack, Frank Clark becomes third all time
Speaker 3: in postseason sacks, behind only Willie McGuinness and Bruce Smith.
Speaker 3: He's right now fifth, al I'm sorry, Yeah, he's right
Speaker 3: now fifth, a half sack behind else Greenwood and Terrell Sucks.
Speaker 3: This team is rewriting the postseason record books thanks to
Speaker 3: the greatness of Number fifteen Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 4: It is a.
Speaker 3: Pleasure to watch. Shout out to Chad Henney for the
Speaker 3: ninety eight yard drive and now we see how much
Speaker 3: Mahomes can heal and then we get a game that
Speaker 3: we'll talk about this week. But here's the thing, healthier
Speaker 3: and I believe Mahomes is hands down, without questioning, the
Speaker 3: best quarterback in the league. With that said, even though
Speaker 3: he's banged up, if the Bengals come into Arrowhead and win.
Speaker 3: If people want to argue Burrow gets the title, I'll
Speaker 3: disagree with it, but I'll understand it.
Speaker 4: It will seem.
Speaker 3: Fair and banged up or not. If the Bengals come
Speaker 3: into Arrowhead and win, and people want to argue they
Speaker 3: deserve to be the fate, as Joe Mixon put it,
Speaker 3: the big dogs in the conference. They will have earned it.
Speaker 3: At least they will have earned it as opposed to
Speaker 3: being gifted it for accomplishing nothing like the team in Buffalo.
Speaker 4: Should we be worried about the Chiefs?
Speaker 2: What's the poll say? Eighty one percent says yes, nineteen
Speaker 2: percent says no.
Speaker 4: Okay, that's fine, folks.
Speaker 3: All I can do on this show is give you

Speaker 3: half against the Bengals when their first appearance they lost
Speaker 3: by three. I gave out multiple that the Bill's Niners.

Speaker 3: as is our goal. So hit subscribe click the bell
Speaker 3: so you know when we go live.
Speaker 4: A few of you.
Speaker 3: Guys did actually tweet out the links to the YouTube
Speaker 3: thing which we saw, which we greatly appreciate it.
Speaker 4: All right, Demanse, let's go on into the B block.
Speaker 2: Go ahead, all right. Next Sunday will be a massive day.
Speaker 2: Obviously the super Bowl participants will be decided, but more importantly,
Speaker 2: your fifty to one preseason super Bowl ticket will be decided. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you already talked about the Chiefs. San Francisco grounded out
Speaker 2: a tough win thanks to their defense. Yeah, but Dallas
Speaker 2: look pretty terrible mid game. Someone in our shows group
Speaker 2: chat asked if you were considering cashing out early. Here's
Speaker 2: what you had to say.
Speaker 3: All right, so let me see what I said. Hedging
Speaker 3: bets is for cowards and stock traders. I'm a goddamn gambler.
Speaker 3: I did tweet that. I think that. Oh and they
Speaker 3: put the picture of me with the blackamout and the ITEA,
Speaker 3: so a couple of things. Then we'll get to the
Speaker 3: cowboys that should.
Speaker 2: Be on a on a on a T shirt.
Speaker 4: I would wear that T shirt.
Speaker 3: Hedging bets is for cowards and stock traders and I'm
Speaker 3: a goddamn gamble.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I like that T shirt.
Speaker 3: The other thing is Gabe tweeted during the Cowboys game
Speaker 3: about how nobody understands the clock management rules, and I
Speaker 3: was I think he thought.
Speaker 4: I was, Oh, look at the shirt. That's a shirt.
Speaker 4: That is a great this is why you should watch
Speaker 4: us on YouTube. That's a great shirt. Graphics seems unbelievable.
Speaker 3: So Gabe tweeted, nobody understand how clock the clock rules
Speaker 3: work when Dalton Schultz went out of bounds, and I
Speaker 3: know he wasn't using it as a shot.
Speaker 4: At me, Yeah, but I actually was a feature.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I was like, what do you mean nobody? Oh, there's
Speaker 4: somebody you work with who does my friend? But okay, so.
Speaker 3: I'm obviously not cashing that ticket out right now. That
Speaker 3: ticket's worth just over sixteen grand. It costs one thousand bucks.
Speaker 3: I could put it up on prop swap and probably
Speaker 3: get thirteen thousand for it or something.
Speaker 4: That's the most ridiculous idea I've ever heard in my life.
Speaker 3: Now, I will tell you this, I would prefer the
Speaker 3: order of the games on Sunday be reversed. The Niners
Speaker 3: game is first, The Chiefs game is second, here's why
Speaker 3: I'd prefer it be reversed.
Speaker 4: Emotionally, it will be utterly crushing for me.
Speaker 3: If it's not only that if the Niners win the
Speaker 3: early game and then the Chiefs lose, and I but
Speaker 3: it's not only that I lost the opportunity at fifty
Speaker 3: thousand dollars, but also that my team's not going to
Speaker 3: the super Bowl.
Speaker 4: Here's the thing.
Speaker 3: I've experienced even worse than that before I the year
Speaker 3: the Chiefs lost to the Bucks in the Super Bowl,
Speaker 3: I had put I'd just be honest with the audience
Speaker 3: I had put before the year, ten thousand dollars on
Speaker 3: the Chiefs repeating at I think it was five and
Speaker 3: a half to one, not I think it was. I
Speaker 3: know it was five sixty and I didn't hedge it
Speaker 3: once ever, and then they just got their teeth kits.
Speaker 4: So I watched my.
Speaker 3: Team lose a Super Bowl to Tom Brady and then
Speaker 3: also lose out on that moment. And so I've been
Speaker 3: there before. I could deal with it. These are the
Speaker 3: these are the you know, the the ups and downs
Speaker 3: of someone that bets sports, and uh and you know, yeah,
Speaker 3: so I've been there before. But I'm not hedging that bet. Now, demons,
Speaker 3: let's talk about this actual game, all.
Speaker 2: Right, so the odds even better?
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no, no, go on to the let's talk about
Speaker 3: the Cowboys game. Oh who do I blame for the
Speaker 3: Cowboys most Yeah, you're fine, don't worry about it.
Speaker 4: So I got it.
Speaker 3: The the Cowboys that looks like are blaming Dak Prescott.
Speaker 3: We have a tweet to show you, guys about that that.
Speaker 3: Evidently this is from the Cowboys official Twitter account. Dak
Speaker 3: Prescott gave the ball away twice and the narrow loss
Speaker 3: to the Niners in a matchup the Cowboys had a
Speaker 3: chance to win if they didn't generate self inflicted wounds.
Speaker 3: Now let me make sure I'm fairly certain, guys. The
Speaker 3: rest of that tweet does have a link to a story,
Speaker 3: so not that that makes it much better, But yeah,
Speaker 3: if you click on that, it is an odd tweet.
Speaker 3: But if you click on the link, it's then a
Speaker 3: story on dallascowboys dot com written by Patrick Walker that
Speaker 3: taught it. They put a bunch of different game recaps
Speaker 3: out there, and that's kind of the headline from that one.
Speaker 4: So here's the deal.
Speaker 3: Your Cowboys playoff game Bingo card filled up pretty quickly.
Speaker 4: Dak throws backbreaking.
Speaker 3: Picks, check, an undisciplined team has a critical penalty at
Speaker 3: the worst possible time, the holding on Kittle that end
Speaker 3: up leading to a forty nine Ers touchdown. Check, and
Speaker 3: then Mike McCarthy's clock management.
Speaker 4: At the end.
Speaker 3: Now, by the way, both of these teams butchered the
Speaker 3: clock at the end, just butchered it. And the Niners
Speaker 3: going out of bounds is just unfathomable.
Speaker 4: But so there's so much to get to here.
Speaker 3: The one that I found there were a couple things
Speaker 3: that I found truly galling if I'm a Cowboys fan.
Speaker 4: The first one was the punt. It's a nine to
Speaker 4: nine game.
Speaker 3: You have fourth and ten past mid field, and you
Speaker 3: punted the ball and it is I'm sorry, fourth and
Speaker 3: ten is not right. I was looking at that. I
Speaker 3: was like, I don't remember being fourth and ten. It
Speaker 3: was fourth and five. It only became fourth and ten
Speaker 3: because they intentionally took a delay of game to have
Speaker 3: a better spot for the punt. It's fourth and five.
Speaker 3: It's in the playoffs. You're at the forty yard line.
Speaker 3: Now you don't want to trust Maher because he shanked
Speaker 3: another extra point in this game.
Speaker 4: So be it.
Speaker 3: He actually the one thing he's really good at his
Speaker 3: long field goals. He's got more sixty plus yards than
Speaker 3: a kicker in NFL history. That would have been fifty eight.
Speaker 2: So be it.
Speaker 3: You can't punt there. You simply can't punt there. They
Speaker 3: punted the Niners, of course, then drove the field and
Speaker 3: scored a touchdown. You then get a field goal. Niners
Speaker 3: get a field goal. You then on your next drive,
Speaker 3: the Cowboys then had the following errors. They have a
Speaker 3: third and ten with two minutes and fifty seconds left.
Speaker 3: You have all three timeouts. You're on your own twenty.
Speaker 3: If you don't get it. I understand punting there. I
Speaker 3: don't necessarily agree with it, but I do understand it.
Speaker 3: You're down seven, You're down yeah at that moment, am
Speaker 3: I right on this?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: You're down seven. You feel like we gonna stop?
Speaker 2: So be it.
Speaker 3: Dak has to know the results of this play have
Speaker 3: to be first down out of bounds or incompletion. He
Speaker 3: takes a sack, it's just impossibly not even a sack.
Speaker 3: He's trying to scramble and get stackled. So now the
Speaker 3: clock's gonna run. They're not ready to get their kicking
Speaker 3: unit on the field. Clock runs. Greg Olsen did a
Speaker 3: great job calling this out. So now you're punting it
Speaker 3: with two ten left, they fair catch it with two
Speaker 3: oh five. You miraculously get the ball back with forty
Speaker 3: five seconds left. Dak almost takes his safety on the
Speaker 3: first play. Then Dalton Schultz doesn't understand.
Speaker 4: The rules that What Gabe.
Speaker 3: Was confused why all the clock management stuff is the
Speaker 3: clock stops if you go out of bounds if you
Speaker 3: go out of bounds, either sideways or forward.
Speaker 4: So I'm not picking on Gabe. He tweeted about it.
Speaker 3: Dalton Schultz got pushed out of bounds backwards. The reason
Speaker 3: that rule exists is they don't want you to be
Speaker 3: able to in order to get out of bounds retreat
Speaker 3: to the sideline. You can't like be close to the
Speaker 3: sideline someone's I'll tackle you and you run in the
Speaker 3: opposite direction. You have to be your forward momentum has
Speaker 3: either be Your momentum's either got to be going forward
Speaker 3: or sideways, or else they don't stop the clock. Dalton
Speaker 3: Schultz didn't realize that. Then they throw at Dalton Schultz
Speaker 3: again on the sideline. It's an easy catch, and he's
Speaker 3: just too careless to drag his second feet second foot.
Speaker 4: Now we can put that on Dalton Schultz.
Speaker 3: We can also put it on Mike McCarthy in lack
Speaker 3: of attention detail and coaching, not knowing all the rules,
Speaker 3: not knowing situational football. And then, for the second straight
Speaker 3: year against the Niners in the playoffs, in a one
Speaker 3: score game, you have a cartoonishly ludicrous final play. Last year,
Speaker 3: they were in a quarterback draw to set up a
Speaker 3: shorter hail mary, but the clock's running and they don't
Speaker 3: even get the hailmary off. They spike the ball with
Speaker 3: one second left, which leads to zero seconds left and
Speaker 3: the game's over.
Speaker 4: This year, you try to run some.
Speaker 3: Fugazi version of that Colt's fake punt from a decade
Speaker 3: ago that everyone got blown up on except the Colts
Speaker 3: at least had three guys there.
Speaker 4: The Cowboys just at Zeke. Zeke gets power bomb to
Speaker 4: the center of the earth and then Turpin gets annihilated.
Speaker 4: It's just the stupidest play I've ever seen.
Speaker 3: And what's even dumber is maybe you thought we're gonna
Speaker 3: catch them off guard, but you lined up in it.
Speaker 3: The Niners called time out, and then you're like, Effett,
Speaker 3: do it again, Dimiko. Ryan's had time to be like, guys,
Speaker 3: I don't know what they're doing, but here's the deal.
Speaker 3: We're gonna have someone power rush Zeke and he's gonna
Speaker 3: get the mac Jones Chandler Jones treatment, and we think
Speaker 3: we're gonna be okay.
Speaker 4: On this play. Just a disaster.
Speaker 3: I know everyone can't be the Chiefs, but the Chiefs
Speaker 3: had thirteen seconds to get in field goal range with
Speaker 3: their season on the line in this round. Last year
Speaker 3: did it with ease, with time to spare, and made
Speaker 3: the field goal be very makeable distance.
Speaker 4: I think was forty eight yards.
Speaker 3: The Cowboys had forty five seconds to get in Hail
Speaker 3: Mary range and they couldn't. And last year they had
Speaker 3: time to get in Hail Mary range and they ran
Speaker 3: a quarterback draws. It's baffling the way this team tortures
Speaker 3: their fans. I was not really that heavily invested in
Speaker 3: this game. I had a small bet on the Niners.
Speaker 3: That was it, and I just found myself cackling maniacally
Speaker 3: about the ending of it. Just as bad as it gets,
Speaker 3: absolutely as bad as it gets. And on the Dak
Speaker 3: side of things, the guy's been a turnover machine all year,
Speaker 3: and the level of screw Dak's gonna get. I wish
Speaker 3: Josh Allen had gotten ten percent of it for also
Speaker 3: being a turnover machine, But for some reason, Josh Allen
Speaker 3: has earned this far greater benefit of the doubt.
Speaker 2: Fine, whatever, I wish britt Meyer would have Meyer maher
Speaker 2: Meyer would have slammed his helmet on the ground after
Speaker 2: he threw a second pick.
Speaker 4: Oh that's a good take. I like that. That's a sneaky,
Speaker 4: really good take. Demonse.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that you.
Speaker 4: Felt like Dak kind of didn't support his teammate enough.
Speaker 2: On that one time, Like he had a really good
Speaker 2: season and like he missed some fuel goals in the playoffs.
Speaker 2: He it's the playoffs, but you've been throwing picks all year, dude.
Speaker 3: That's a great you know what, That's a great take.
Speaker 3: That is a great take that I didn't see coming.
Speaker 3: I really like that take. I hope that makes you
Speaker 3: feel better because I know you were angry about how
Speaker 3: this segment started.
Speaker 4: You told me that was way better for the show
Speaker 4: than any question read you could do. But Dak's picks.
Speaker 3: He threw one pick inside his own that immediately led
Speaker 3: to forty nine ers points. He then threw another pick
Speaker 3: inside the Niners twenty that took points off the board
Speaker 3: for his own team. And that's what he's been doing
Speaker 3: all year, throwing picks inside in his own red zone
Speaker 3: and in the opponent's red zone. Uh, I think we
Speaker 3: need to move on where A little late, I just
Speaker 3: realized what the clock said, My bad.
Speaker 2: Go ahead, all right, Nick, Almighty, time for you to
Speaker 2: come back down to earth for a bit. Yeah. All
Speaker 2: even saying today is you're right. You're right, You're right.
Speaker 2: But you did miss on the Eagles. You had massive
Speaker 2: doubts early in the season and thought they'd go one
Speaker 2: and done. Are you sweating next week's in FC Championship
Speaker 2: after what they did to the Giants?
Speaker 4: Okay, so here's the deal.
Speaker 3: I did think they'd go one and done before the playoffs.
Speaker 3: I did not think they'd go one and done once
Speaker 3: I saw.
Speaker 4: They were playing the Giants.
Speaker 3: To be fair, I didn't pick the I know, I
Speaker 3: picked the Giants plus the points, but I said on
Speaker 3: the gambling show that was to me the absolute game
Speaker 3: I had the least feel for. I thought too many
Speaker 3: points in divisional matchup. I was obviously wrong on that,
Speaker 3: but oh, in general, you're right. I have not been
Speaker 3: an Eagles believer. The way they're running the football is spectacular, okay,
Speaker 3: And I've got to give them credit.
Speaker 4: They much like the Chiefs.
Speaker 3: They earned that one seed by being the best team
Speaker 3: in their conference all year, and the benefit of it
Speaker 3: was you would the one seed. It's not just the
Speaker 3: buye it's not just home field. It's also you get
Speaker 3: the worst team that wins in round one in your conference.
Speaker 3: And the difference between the Eagles playing the Cowboys for
Speaker 3: a third time or the Niners in this round and
Speaker 3: the Giants could not have been more glaring, just like
Speaker 3: for the Chiefs, the difference in getting the Bengals or
Speaker 3: the Bills versus getting the Jaguars no disrespect to the Prince.
Speaker 3: So they earned that, and I kicked the crap, the
Speaker 3: absolute crap out of.
Speaker 4: The Giants. Of course, I'm nervous for that game.
Speaker 3: The Eagles absolutely could beat the Niners, and brock Perty
Speaker 3: didn't play that well this week, so now you're not
Speaker 3: gonna be able to run the ball for tune to
Speaker 3: fit the yards on the Niners and but you're gonna
Speaker 3: be at home, and brock Perty is gonna be in
Speaker 3: a road playoff game that is going to be the toughest,
Speaker 3: loudest environment of his football life.
Speaker 4: So I give the Eagles credit.
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna win the Super Bowl. No, do
Speaker 3: I have the least faith in them of any of
Speaker 3: the four remaining teams. I do, but they have proven
Speaker 3: me wrong by getting here. So I give them credit
Speaker 3: for that. Where I was right though, was and I'm
Speaker 3: not gonna let you skirt this one. Demn's I told
Speaker 3: you Daniel Jones is not that guy that you know
Speaker 3: who this weekend l Jones, Well, he was the quarterback
Speaker 3: in this game.
Speaker 2: They was terrible.
Speaker 3: They were in a spot where he had to throw
Speaker 3: the ball and the guy can't throw the ball, just can't. Sorry,
Speaker 3: you know who. Actually, other than the Bills had the
Speaker 3: worst weekend the Vikings. Did they let that guy cook
Speaker 3: them off? And so the saving grace for the giantsies
Speaker 3: maybe this performance prevents you from having to drastically overpay Daniel.
Speaker 4: Jones for no reason whatsoever.
Speaker 2: All right, next, all right, so there's something Maybe we're
Speaker 2: just skipping onto the game. Maybe that's what it was. Yeah,
Speaker 2: all right, so time playing game. We are playing right
Speaker 2: or wrong today, So all good things must come to
Speaker 2: an end. The prince that was promised concluded his first year.
Speaker 2: That counts with the loss to the King in the
Speaker 2: West and the Chiefs. You have high os for Trevor's future,
Speaker 2: even saying that you think he'll win a super Bowl
Speaker 2: one day. But wait a second, that kind of sort
Speaker 2: of means right or wrong. Lawrence will eventually beat Mahomes
Speaker 2: in the playoffs. Yeah, of course, next years. I don't know.
Speaker 3: But at some point, I mean, Mahomes isn't gonna go
Speaker 3: to every super Bowl. Malmes already, by the way, got
Speaker 3: beat by Burrow once in the playoffs. The playoff games
Speaker 3: are hard. Going to multiple super Bowls is hard. Aaron
Speaker 3: Rodgers has been to one. Drew Brees went to one,
Speaker 3: Brett fav went to two. Peyton Manning his entire time
Speaker 3: in Indy went to two, then went to two more
Speaker 3: in Denver. Obviously, take Brady out of it, like Steve
Speaker 3: Young went to one. It's a great player that Ben Roethlisberger,
Speaker 3: to his credit's been to went to three, won two
Speaker 3: of them. Great defense for the first one. You know
Speaker 3: carried them that first.
Speaker 2: Year, but.
Speaker 3: Philip Rivers his whole career went to zero. Josh Allen's
Speaker 3: been to zero, Herbert's yet to win a playoff game.
Speaker 3: It's hard man, Dak Prescott's never been to a conference
Speaker 3: championship game. Like, So, yeah, I think I think I
Speaker 3: would be very surprised if Trevor Lawrence doesn't make him
Speaker 3: win a Super Bowl one day. But it's hard and
Speaker 3: may listen, maybe he beats Malomes, maybe not Cirtain, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean, like certain guys somebody, maybe somebody
Speaker 3: else beats Mahomes and Trevor goes. I don't know, but
Speaker 3: I thought Trevor comported himself.
Speaker 2: Fine.
Speaker 3: I thought the Chiefs defense was awesome in that game
Speaker 3: and deserves a ton of credit.
Speaker 2: All right, Next, the Giants are getting The Giants getting
Speaker 2: exposed might not be that bad. Saquan is up for
Speaker 2: a new deal, but said he isn't looking to reset
Speaker 2: the running back market. You also said the loss may
Speaker 2: have saved them from the franchise crippling mistake of playing
Speaker 2: my guy Danny Dion. Yeah, right or wrong? The Giants
Speaker 2: should build around Barkley and.
Speaker 3: Obviously obviously wrong. I mean, nobody thinks they should build
Speaker 3: around Daniel Jones. You want to franchise tag him, pay
Speaker 3: him thirty two million bucks him, you know, and you
Speaker 3: gotta be willing. Here's the thing, Daveo built up enough
Speaker 3: equity this year. I think if you're gonna bring Daniel
Speaker 3: Jones back on a franchise tag, what you need to
Speaker 3: do is call an offense and coach a game like
Speaker 3: you have a franchise quarterback. And if that means the
Speaker 3: interceptions and fumbles come.
Speaker 4: Back, so be it. But you need to open things
Speaker 4: up to.
Speaker 3: See what he could do if he was if you
Speaker 3: took the training rules off him. So you can then
Speaker 3: decide if you're gonna actually.
Speaker 4: Move forward with him.
Speaker 3: But you can't franchise tag him and then have him
Speaker 3: run this school yard nonsense two hundred yards per game.
Speaker 3: We're gonna treat you like a power running back BS
Speaker 3: to try to scrape out nine wins. You gotta see
Speaker 3: if this is your guy and not your guy, you
Speaker 3: gotta move on. I already think it's not the guy,
Speaker 3: but whatever, all right.
Speaker 2: Last Daniel Jones makes it past the second round of
Speaker 2: the playoffs next.
Speaker 3: Year, No chance the Giants make the conference championship game.
Speaker 2: No way. They are more likely.
Speaker 3: To miss the playoffs than to make the conference championship game.
Speaker 4: Give me a break man, go ahead.
Speaker 2: At least at least New York has any excuse for
Speaker 2: their blowout. The Giants were reportedly without without running water
Speaker 2: at their hotel ahead of their game with the Giants.
Speaker 2: I don't know if the Eagles the game with the Eagles. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's the Eagles. Sorry, yeah, yeah, I don't know if
Speaker 2: Eagles fans did this intentionally. But these are also the
Speaker 2: same fans that threw snowballs at Santa right or wrong,
Speaker 2: Giants hotel issues were all the coincidence.
Speaker 4: That's probably wrong. It probably was. I mean, I don't
Speaker 4: know I was Eagles fans or just like the hotel staff.
Speaker 3: I think that, yeah, I mean, I I mean I
Speaker 3: think they were getting them.
Speaker 2: But so be it.
Speaker 4: That happens.
Speaker 2: That happens.
Speaker 4: That's why you want to host playoff games.
Speaker 2: That's hilarious.
Speaker 3: It happens. I'm not gonna get all bent out of
Speaker 3: shape about that. It happens. Then you get over it.
Speaker 3: You host playoff games. You don't go on the road
Speaker 3: if you don't want to have to deal with you know,
Speaker 3: play sans DEMONSI that's not nearly as bad. Fans historically
Speaker 3: have repeatedly and continuously set off fire alarms, like they've
Speaker 3: pulled the thing in the team hotels and they have
Speaker 3: to go outside in the cold, go back in their bed,
Speaker 3: pull it again, go outside and the cold go.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is what happens. Playoff football, baby, everybody's gotta
Speaker 4: be ready.
Speaker 2: Get a job?
Speaker 4: Who get a job?
Speaker 2: People pull the fire alarm at the hotel.
Speaker 3: Listen, they're doing everything they can to help their team win.
Speaker 3: I don't endorse it, but I understand that's part of
Speaker 3: the territory.
Speaker 4: It happens. You gotta deal with it.
Speaker 3: We read your questions or put them in the chat
Speaker 3: now we read them next What's right?
Speaker 4: Yo, welcome back in What'll Try with Nick?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 4: Final segment?
Speaker 3: You know what, I'll be honest, this show's been just
Speaker 3: under an hour. I ain't Keeping today's show to an
Speaker 3: hour is pretty good job by us. We do have
Speaker 3: to figure out how we're gonna do the mechanics of
Speaker 3: the gambling show Friday, because there's only two games to pick,
Speaker 3: and so god, I'll get that back door cover that
Speaker 3: the Jags had really.
Speaker 2: Just give out a bunch of parlays.
Speaker 4: Well, there's only a bunch of sameas.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the same game parlay we gave out this week
Speaker 3: didn't hit, by the way, Oh man, I didn't tell
Speaker 3: you this. I had a seventy to one Bengals Bills
Speaker 3: same game parlay. Okay, that was Josh Allen to throw
Speaker 3: a pick. Check the Bengals to win out right, Check
Speaker 3: the Bengals to cover the first half number plus three
Speaker 3: and a half. Check Joe Burrow to have more than
Speaker 3: eleven rushing yards. Check Jamar Chase to score a first
Speaker 3: half touchdown. Check and Josh Allen over forty eight rushing yards.
Speaker 2: No go.
Speaker 3: I Now, luckily Alan's interception didn't happen until like the
Speaker 3: final play of the game, so I are close to it.
Speaker 3: So I had kind of like written it off, like
Speaker 3: because he needed his rushing yards didn't come in and
Speaker 3: the pick hadn't happened. So once the game was late,
Speaker 3: I was like, I don't know how to thread this needle,
Speaker 3: like I need Alan to like go on a super
Speaker 3: long run and didn't throw a bit. So I had
Speaker 3: kind of written it off, but I was when Chase
Speaker 3: scored a touchdown to start the game. Oh boy, And
Speaker 3: then Joe Borrow had a long scramble. You were traveling,
Speaker 3: so you didn't watch that game with me? It was
Speaker 3: BUTMANI was sitting with me watching me sweat this, sweat
Speaker 3: this out. Shout out, by the way to my friend
Speaker 3: Bamani Jones. Season two of Game Theory on HBO premiered
Speaker 3: on Friday. Do you know who the first guest he
Speaker 3: had on of the season was?
Speaker 2: Oh? Was it? It was me?
Speaker 4: All right, yeah, let's get to the it was me.
Speaker 4: Let's get in to the fan questions.
Speaker 2: All right, coach missed. The guy asked, when can we
Speaker 2: order the T shirt? Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 3: That's gonna be a Blue Duck Media Enterprise thing. And
Speaker 3: I'd say they'll have that put together soon. But Demanse
Speaker 3: and I are still waiting for our super big hats.
Speaker 3: Remember that, those super big hats.
Speaker 2: That actually has crossed my mind.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like, where are those super big hats? We don't
Speaker 4: ask for much around here.
Speaker 2: They're coming. I think since the business is like a startup,
Speaker 2: it's taken a minute.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, yeah, sure, that's by the business being a startup,
Speaker 3: you're talking about the super big hat company or Blue
Speaker 3: Duck Media. I think Blue Duck Media has been around
Speaker 3: for a while. Uh yeah, I mean I don't know
Speaker 3: about putting that shirt in red. There are some tweaks
Speaker 3: to it, but I would like to get that shirt
Speaker 3: made and all proceeds can go to my favorite charity,
Speaker 3: which is the Demonse moving to La fund to start
Speaker 3: a five O one three ced for it.
Speaker 2: All right, next, thanks? All right, Gabriel, said NIGOSTOSTI. Playing
Speaker 2: poker the other night, sitting between Phil and Daniel is awesome.
Speaker 2: What was it like sitting head ups against Phil?
Speaker 4: I mean, it was great until I lost. Uh.
Speaker 3: Maybe that's another reason I'm not as as anxious about
Speaker 3: out potentially hitting this fifty thousand dollars fifty to one
Speaker 3: Chiefs Niners exacta. I lost fifty thousand to play Phil
Speaker 3: heads up once. Now, I also won that tournament that
Speaker 3: Phil and Daniel were in and that played that was
Speaker 3: a forty thousand dollars profit, So maybe that's why.
Speaker 4: But it was great. Want I'm gonna do it again
Speaker 4: this summer in some capacity. Phil just lost.
Speaker 3: I got the ball rolling on that heads up dual thing.
Speaker 3: But because I didn't re challenge Phil then got different
Speaker 3: opponents and he beat Scott Sever, he lost Scott sever
Speaker 3: beat Scott Sever, then he beat someone or Tom Dwan
Speaker 3: something like that. But whatever it was, he just played
Speaker 3: Jason Kuhn eight hundred thousand each one point six million
Speaker 3: up top to the winner and Kun dusted him. Phil
Speaker 3: In My match was five and a half hours long.
Speaker 3: Coon beat him in a smooth two hours and ten
Speaker 3: minute and it was it was just a straight line. Now,
Speaker 3: Jason Kuhn right now is probably the best poka player
Speaker 3: in the world. But yeah, so it was really cool.
Speaker 4: Thank you for asking.
Speaker 2: Next, all right, Matthew Ulrich said, you always say it's terrible.
Speaker 2: You always say it's terrible value to bet across the
Speaker 2: zero on a teaser. Can you explain why it's terrible value?
Speaker 3: Because the game's not gonna end on zero. That's the
Speaker 3: simplest reason one of your possible points of winning doesn't
Speaker 3: exist in the regular season. I guess you could say
Speaker 3: it could land on zero in the playoffs, it literally can't,
Speaker 3: So you are buying people don't think about it this way.
Speaker 3: But okay, so let's say the let's take Chiefs Bengals. Okay,
Speaker 3: the Chiefs are right now one and a half point favorites.
Speaker 4: So if you tease the Chiefs, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: If you tease the Bengals, pardon me, you are paying
Speaker 3: for instead of only being able to win, if the
Speaker 3: Bengals win or lose by one, you win. If the
Speaker 3: Bengals lose by two, three, four, five, six, or seven,
Speaker 3: you're buying six other outcomes where you can win your bet. Okay,
Speaker 3: makes sense. Now let's tease it in the other direction.
Speaker 3: You take the Chiefs from plus one and a half
Speaker 3: or minus one and a half, pardon me, to plus.
Speaker 4: Four and a half. You now win.
Speaker 3: If the Chiefs win by one zero doesn't exist. They
Speaker 3: can't win or lose by zero in the playoffs, or
Speaker 3: if they lose by one, two, three, or four. So
Speaker 3: you're paying the same amount of money, but you are
Speaker 3: only getting an additional five outcomes rather than six outcomes.
Speaker 3: That's the simplest way to look at it. The other
Speaker 3: reason why there are certain teasers that are good and
Speaker 3: certain teasers that are bad is we all know NFL
Speaker 3: games are there are the typically I shouldn't say typically,
Speaker 3: but the most often margin of victory is three, four, six,
Speaker 3: and seven. Those are the key and really three, four
Speaker 3: and seven, six would be the next one. So if
Speaker 3: you are and then if you're talking big numbers, ten fourteen, right,
Speaker 3: because touchdowns are seven field goals with three. So if
Speaker 3: you are going to tease a team, you want to
Speaker 3: make sure you're getting them through key numbers. So the
Speaker 3: best value teasers are teasing favorites of seven and a
Speaker 3: half to eight and a half if we're doing a
Speaker 3: traditional six point teaser, not these exotic ten pointers you
Speaker 3: like so much. But if we're doing a traditional six
Speaker 3: point teaser, favorites of anywhere from six and a half
Speaker 3: to eight and a half or seven and a half
Speaker 3: really to eight and a half, because you are taking
Speaker 3: them down through the seven, through the six, through the
Speaker 3: four and the three, or teasing underdogs of one and
Speaker 3: a half to two and a half up. So you
Speaker 3: are teasing through the three, the four, the six, and
Speaker 3: the seven, you're getting not you're getting all of the
Speaker 3: key numbers and you're not giving up one possible outcome
Speaker 3: of value. So the teaser this weekend, if there was one,
Speaker 3: and it's staring you right in the face, is my teaser.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, go ahead, the Niners.
Speaker 4: No, this coming weekend.
Speaker 3: Demonzi did hit a teaser this weekend, but he was
Speaker 3: in a state that doesn't allow gambling, so he just
Speaker 3: sent me a screenshot of it. But luckily I placed
Speaker 3: it for him, and I'm only going to take a
Speaker 3: twenty five.
Speaker 2: Percent of it. Uh.
Speaker 3: The obvious teaser this weekend, as far as value, is
Speaker 3: a six point teaser taking the Niners from two and
Speaker 3: a half to eight and a half and taking the
Speaker 3: Bengals from one and a half to seven.
Speaker 4: That is a.
Speaker 3: True, solid, good value teaser. You're getting all of the
Speaker 3: key numbers.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 4: So that's that's the answer.
Speaker 2: I hope that I understand that logic.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I hope that made sense.
Speaker 2: All right? Next, always balling? Wait, actually no, Jack Rudolph asked,
Speaker 2: how excited?
Speaker 4: Hold on?
Speaker 3: Let me say one other thing here real quick. The
Speaker 3: reason it's important to understand that part of it is
Speaker 3: because you are You've got to look at it as
Speaker 3: you are paying for those points. So a two team
Speaker 3: six point teaser is probably minus one twenty in most shops.
Speaker 3: A two team parlay is plus two sixty. So you
Speaker 3: are going from having one hundred dollars having one hundred
Speaker 3: dollars win you two hundred and sixty dollars to one
Speaker 3: hundred dollars when you eighty three dollars, right, So you're
Speaker 3: getting one third of the value of just parlaying those teams.
Speaker 4: Why would you give up that value?
Speaker 3: Because you are getting those twelve valuable points. But if
Speaker 3: you don't make full use of those twelve points, then
Speaker 3: it's not worth giving up that value.
Speaker 4: Okay. Next, by the way, go ahead and cut this
Speaker 4: and let's put this in.
Speaker 3: The Gambling Show Friday, since we're gonna be starved for
Speaker 3: content for Friday Show because there's only two games.
Speaker 2: Go ahead, next, all right, Jack Rudolph asked, how excited
Speaker 2: are you to finally be back back to in person
Speaker 2: Super Bowl Week in Arizona. Last time you were there
Speaker 2: was the one hundredth NFL season.
Speaker 4: It was also the last time the Chiefs won a
Speaker 4: Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: Also, I haven't been to Arizona since I used to
Speaker 3: go there for Royal spring training when I was covering
Speaker 3: the Royals back in a previous life. And they have
Speaker 3: one hell of a poker room with the old Talking
Speaker 3: Stick resort in casinos, an eighty seat poker room.
Speaker 2: Quite nice.
Speaker 4: It's unbelievable. I hope it's still there. I will be
Speaker 4: checking it out. I already rented a car actually for
Speaker 4: what next?
Speaker 2: What's up? Jack? All right? Always balling? Seven? Ass? Can
Speaker 2: you give NBA comps to the raining quarterbacks in the playoffs?
Speaker 3: I could, but that's actually too big of us of
Speaker 3: a project and I don't want to rush that.
Speaker 4: Sorry, Jack, I'm not doing it.
Speaker 2: With Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 3: Be Lebron maybe, but I the Mahomes might actually right now,
Speaker 3: be honest, I don't want to do it.
Speaker 4: I sorry, I'm not I'm not doing it. That's that
Speaker 4: type of thing.
Speaker 3: I don't want to just be out there in the
Speaker 3: world and me not having given it real thought. Oh
Speaker 3: that's like also a really good, like summer television segment.
Speaker 3: There's not a lot of content, all right, Next.
Speaker 2: I try to bait them guys, all right? Marte Robinson
Speaker 2: asked what position should the Chiefs prioritize drafting for this offseason?
Speaker 3: Either wide receiver or right tackle. Wide receiver or tackle
Speaker 3: would be my answer. Uh And so, I mean that's
Speaker 3: very clear. Interior offensive line is set, d line is set,
Speaker 3: secondary is set, quarterback is set. Linebackers are set. It's
Speaker 3: got to be either wide receiver, tackle or sneaky maybe
Speaker 3: tight end. Kelsey is unbelievable, but he is getting older
Speaker 3: and I would like whoever the next tight end is
Speaker 3: to be able to learn underneath him. Thanks to our
Speaker 3: biggest audience ever. Wow, how many total.
Speaker 2: Viewers twenty one thousand, seven hundred.
Speaker 4: That's amazing. That's awesome.
Speaker 2: We appreciate current.
Speaker 4: That's awesome.
Speaker 3: We will see you guys on Thursday. Tune in three
Speaker 3: pm today on FS one. I have something very special
Speaker 3: planned for the Buffalo Bills that's coming three pm today
Speaker 3: on FS one.
Speaker 4: See you guys then, what's right
