And it's not just 0:00:56.280 --> 0:01:01.120 glorious because the bet we gave out before to all 0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:04.640 of you on our preseason gambling show, which just printed 0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:05.720 money for the audience. 0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:06.160 This year. 0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:09.600 The gambling show as a whole, the preseason one, that is, 0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:12.560 the regular gambling show is broken. About even two and 0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:15.160 two this week in a little backdoor cover by the Jags, 0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:17.600 grinted us from going three to one, but that's fine. 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:21.000 Puts us six and four thus far through the playoffs. 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:21.399 We'll take it. 0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:25.440 It's no big deal. We gave you fifty to one 0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:28.760 Chiefs Niners Super Bowl before the year, and there's four 0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:31.800 teams remaining and one of them is the Chiefs and 0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:34.520 one of them is the Niners. We will discuss whether 0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:37.720 or not we are cashing that ticket out. 0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:38.920 Spoiler alert. 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:42.240 Never in my life would I hedge a bet or 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:46.039 cash out of bet. There's a reason the sportsbooks give 0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:49.120 you that option. It's not to be kind, it's because 0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:52.320 they want you to do it. We'll discuss that later 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:54.680 in the show, but we must of course start with 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:57.920 the AFC. But before we do that, what we are 0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:01.840 not discussing on today's show Novak Djokovic advances in the 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:03.520 Australian Open. As much as I would love to do 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:05.000 a Knicks tennis corner, today is. 0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:05.480 Not the day. 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:10.680 The Lakers, down twenty five at the half, beat the 0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:16.560 Blazers now one. It's two games, but one loss out 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:18.480 of the sixth seed. And by the way, I don't 0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:20.680 know if you know this, you're gonna get to see 0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:23.880 lebron live and in person in a week. We got 0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:26.919 four Lakers nets tickets and then you're not gonna get 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:29.440 to see Lakers Knicks because I bought just two tickets 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:31.040 for that game, but you're gonna get to go to 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:34.960 one of them. And Zaire Williams says, forget my field 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:38.400 goal percentage. I'm gonna shoot n eighty footer and make it. 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:41.000 None of that, though, is the news of the day, 0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:44.520 demon Zay, what are we starting with today? 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:47.359 My friend? All right, man, I'm starting to sound like 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:49.079 a broken record on Monday mornings. 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:50.400 But what are you gonna say? 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:52.079 You were right? You were right? 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:53.440 Oh, I was right. 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:56.480 Everybody kept saying they were the Bills with a team 0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:59.200 to beat and Alan would be MVP. You never had 0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:02.360 faith in the Bill. Feel free to gloat right now. 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:06.240 Okay, here's the thing. I don't need to gloat. 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:12.880 What I do need to say is this, never again 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:19.240 should I should anyone be able to accuse me of Oh, Nick, 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:23.320 you don't really not only do you not really believe 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:27.400 what you're saying, but you're saying it out of fear. 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:32.560 That has been like that specific accusation has been lodged 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:36.840 at me three times about three very different teams. It 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:40.760 first was lodged at me about the Clippers with Kawhi 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:45.800 and Paul George when I said they were around two ceiling, 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:49.360 I bet on that. I bet against them in that series. 0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:53.360 Everyone's like, oh, Lebron Kawhi, Lebron Kawhi might be the 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:55.480 best player in the league, not only the best player 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:59.000 in LA and ever, And I said, eh, they don't 0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:01.240 really seem to have an size. 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:03.280 We don't have need to religate the Clippers thing. 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:06.640 But as you know, we now smash cut five years 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:09.640 into the Kawhi of Paul George's era, and Kauhi has 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:13.600 played in zero conference finals game, let alone NBA finals game. 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:17.280 I was right. The next time that was lodged to 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:18.320 me was about the Nets. 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:21.520 Oh, Nick, you know the Nets are a dominant team, 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:24.200 said eh, I don't know how they're gonna guard Giannis 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:27.480 in a series ever seems important? Oh, Nick, you don't 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:28.279 really believe that. 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:32.600 And then they have played in zero conference finals. 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:35.320 And the next time it was lodged about at me 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:39.960 all year long was about the big bad defending zero 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:45.480 times Super Bowl champion Buffalo Bills that all year long 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:46.880 I said was overvalued. 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:49.280 That all year long, I. 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:53.159 Said, we were prematurely anointing that all year long, I 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:57.159 seem to be the only person judging Josh Allen by 0:04:57.200 --> 0:05:01.200 the standard we have judged every other quarterback in the 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:05.440 league in its history, before they had proven they can 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:08.840 win the big game. I need you to not make 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:11.640 critical errors, and I need to see you do it 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:15.279 before I know you can do it. And I was 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:20.239 a hater, I was trolling. I was giving out hot 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:24.440 takes that I didn't actually believe. And then what did 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:30.320 we just see? We just saw the Buffalo Bills melt down. 0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:38.280 Scott Kasmar had an amazing stat. All year long, the 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:43.040 Bills had five drives where they trailed by double digits 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:46.159 and they all took place in the same game, a 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:49.400 game they won against the Baltimore Ravens, the game they're 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:52.360 down twenty to three, and there was all year long, 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:56.000 there was one game and it was five total drives 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.599 where they weren't either leading or within a score. 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:01.320 And then in their. 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:04.320 Biggest game of their season, the game to give them 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:09.080 the opportunity to get redemption for his store is such 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:13.160 a historic choke job of last year's divisional round that 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:16.640 the NFL changed the rules for him, and they were 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:19.840 gonna get it in perfect conditions in a dome. All 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:23.320 they had to do was win a home game. Yeah, 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:28.560 and they had seven drives where they trailed by double digits. 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:30.480 They weren't in that game. 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:34.240 They could have been in the game seventeen to seven 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:38.880 with the ball first in goal and Josh Allen sales 0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:41.680 the ball over. I don't know if Stefan Diggs or 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:45.440 Gabe Davis has said whoever it was on third and goal, 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:48.880 settle for a field goal and were off to the races. 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:51.520 And this Bills. 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:59.159 Team now is undeniably, unquestionably, inarguably not the best team 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:03.080 in the league, not the best team in their own conference, 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:06.640 not the second best team in their own conference. What 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:11.520 the Buffalo Bills are is in the discussion as the 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:13.400 third best team in their own conference. 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:15.520 What Josh Allen. 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:21.560 Is is nothing more and nothing less than in the 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:26.480 discussion for the third best quarterback in his own conference. 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:27.320 That's it. 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:29.800 Well, I would. 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:32.760 Love to hear someone make the credible argument that one 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:37.800 could make for Alan over Mahomes or alanover Burrow. Spoiler alert, 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:43.760 it doesn't exist. It does not exist. Josh Allen has 0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:49.720 now played eight career playoff games. He was historically great 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:52.440 in two of them. One of those he ended up losing, 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:54.560 not his fault. That was the Chiefs game last year. 0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:59.000 He was very good in another one that was the 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:04.680 game against the Call in twenty twenty. He was okay 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:10.280 in one more, and he was down right bad in four. 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:13.840 Half of his career playoff games. 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:14.400 He's been bad. 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:19.360 Joe Burrow has been bad in six career playoff games 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:25.080 in zero. Mahomes has been downright bad in twelve career 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:28.240 playoff games and a half of one the second half 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:30.680 of the AFC title game last year against Joe Burrow. 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:36.000 Here's the bigger problems for the Buffalo Bills. I said all. 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:39.360 Week, and I sat on Sunday on social on Twitter, 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:44.000 and folks at the time, folks pretended I was wrong 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:48.559 or disagreed, and now everyone's having the conversations. Losing that 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:54.240 type of game at home, when you're the preseason favorite, 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:56.760 when you're the favorite in that game by six points, 0:08:56.840 --> 0:09:00.520 when the other team's on three backup offensive linemen, Losing 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:03.920 that game in any fashion is the type of loss 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:06.960 that makes a franchise have to take a really hard 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:10.800 look in the mirror and figure out why we're going backwards, 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:16.079 losing it because you got dog walked for sixty minutes 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:20.840 because you were never in the game and type of 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:26.439 loss makes franchise have to make some almost impossible decisions. 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:29.760 You seem very happy with your righteousness. Don't you think 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:31.800 there's a little chance you should have been rooting for 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:34.120 Buffalo being that the Chiefs can't beat Somes? 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:38.240 Okay, so we'll talk about that later. Listen. I am 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:41.319 obviously a Chiefs fan, right, but I do. 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:45.640 Not view the entire prism of the NFL through the 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:50.560 lens of what's best for my team. And here is 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:55.200 why you won't hear Bengals slander from me, because the 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:58.880 Bills stuff was never slander, it was truth telling. If 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:04.320 the Bengals come into Arrowhead and win again, they will 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:05.040 have earned it. 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:07.760 They will they will. 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:12.480 Have accomplished the things people pretended Buffalo, did you tip 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:16.040 your cap to them? Am I concerned? Of course I'm concerned. 0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:19.480 Am I even more concerned because Mahomes's legs seems really 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:20.000 messed up? 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:20.960 Yeah? 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:23.680 Could the Bengals win that game? You bet your ass 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:27.240 they could win that game. What do you have you 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:28.080 looked at the lines? 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:30.040 What Chiefs Bengals? 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:30.920 What do you think the line is? 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:35.400 Shoot? Probably Chiefs minus one and a half. 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:40.240 That is exactly right. Wow, you hadn't looked yet. Great job. 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:43.079 Well you have really grown up right before my eyes 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:43.679 on the gambling. 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:44.079 But that is it? 0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:49.360 So that is that to me? That tells us Vegas 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:50.760 thinks Mahomes is really hurt. 0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:54.080 Yeah, that's Chiefs minus four at least if Mahomes doesn't 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:56.720 get hurt. Minus one and a half is scary. So 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:59.360 but we'll get to the Chiefs in a moment. So 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:03.760 it's not all about you know, what's best for the Chiefs. 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:07.280 It's a when it comes to my professional life, it's 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:10.520 about telling the audience what's actually happening. 0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:15.839 And I lost my train of thought for a moment there. 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:20.079 What I was I was for Buffalo. 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:22.920 No, no, no, But before before you even said anything, what 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:25.000 I was trying to go through is for Buffalo. What 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:28.240 this means for them? Oh, here's here's what it is. 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:33.560 This is via Scott Kashmir kasmar Uh, who's a great 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:36.959 follow on Twitter. He's really Gabe. You would love him. 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:41.560 Gabe's our producer. Nobody dislikes Brady more than this guy. 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:45.360 But he's also like a really smart football He gave 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:47.719 things that might be him Nah. He he's on the 0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:50.480 Rob Parker train of calling him the loat instead of 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:52.760 the goat, the luckiest of all time. 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:57.120 He does this whole thing. But he had an article 0:11:57.320 --> 0:11:58.840 for five thirty eight, five. 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:05.600 Years ago that's still true, which is, no, every single 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:09.600 coach quarterback combo that has ever won a Super Bowl 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:14.320 won their first super Bowl together within five years of 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:19.440 being together. So there has never been a quarterback and 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:24.600 coach that have been together for more than five years 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:28.160 that ended up ever winning a super Bowl if they 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:30.480 didn't at least win their first one within those first 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:34.480 five years. He pointed this out. Credit to him, I 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:38.360 wouldn't have known this. There were two this year coach 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:41.679 quarterback combos that have been together five plus years that 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:44.000 this was year five and they hadn't won a Super 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:48.520 Bowl yet. Those two were John Harbaugh and Lamar looks 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:52.680 like we're headed for divorce and Sean McDermott and Josh Allen. 0:12:53.920 --> 0:13:01.000 Now we're not headed for divorce there, but how do they. 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:09.280 Cross this massive delta they clearly need to cross. Because 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:13.920 here's the other thing that was missed in all of 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:16.640 the commentary last year or this year. 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:19.559 About last year, people acted like. 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:25.400 The Chiefs Bills game was the Super Bowl because it 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:28.360 was between the two teams everyone thought were the best, 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:31.839 and because it was a classic. And you call that 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:36.000 a coin flip game, Fine, the Chiefs got lucky. I disagree, 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:39.440 but fine, fat Everyone has just acted like if the 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:42.000 Bills won that game, they'd have won the Super Bowl. 0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:46.000 Here's the problem with that. The Bills lost to a 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:50.320 team that the very next round then lost to Cincinnati, 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:53.640 and then Cincinnati in the very next round lost to 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:58.800 the Rams. So last year they weren't good enough to 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:03.719 beat the team that ended up being the league's bronze medalist. 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:08.440 And this year, if we needed more evidence that maybe 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:12.160 even if the Bills had won that game last year, 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:15.520 he ins Kansas City, that Cincinnati could have been the 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:18.960 next week and gone to Buffalo and whooped their ass. 0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:21.600 The only piece of evidence I need to present you 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:30.200 is this week's game. They're not close. And it was 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:35.600 galling to me the way the media would not be 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:41.400 consistent in their analysis of this team. You don't get 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:45.160 to say, and they tried to pull the same shit 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:47.840 with Mahomes all year in a different way. You don't 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:51.760 get to say, Von Miller put the Bills over the top. 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:54.800 Have Von Miller be the difference in the win over 0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:57.880 the Chiefs have Von Miller be their most consistent guy. 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:04.360 And then when von Miller sadly tears his ACL, pretend 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:06.880 that that doesn't change the math for this team. 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:08.600 But everyone was. 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:13.880 So pop committed in the Bills being this legendary juggernaut 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:16.320 because Josh having him throw the ball seventy five yards 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:18.400 in the air, you know what he needed to be 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:21.160 able to do yesterday, Throw the ball seven yards in 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:24.120 the air on third and two, not take a deep 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:28.160 shot down the sideline to gave Davis take the first down. 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:32.360 It's Peyton Manning says, don't go broke taking a profit 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:38.160 and every other When Mahomes last year had the first 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:41.240 slump of his career, having already won an MVP, had 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:43.880 having already won a Super Bowl MVP, having already been 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:47.440 to another Super Bowl, and he started turning the ball 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:50.680 over at a rate we had never seen from him 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:55.560 before and briefly was among the league leaders in turnovers. 0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:57.280 He got roasted for it. 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:04.360 Josh Allen finishes this season with thirty four combined fumbles 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:10.600 and picks, and it's I'm the one person like that. 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:14.320 It seems like a problem. Well, it was a problem, 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:17.360 and yesterday the bigger problem is they lost without Josh 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:19.080 Allen turning the ball over. Now he did at the 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:21.040 very end, but are now it's seventeen to two minutes left. 0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:25.600 They just got their asses kicked. Start to finish. Long 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:28.880 ways to go and in twenty twenty. And there is 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:33.120 the last thing I'll say on this. We have seen 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:37.680 this story before. This is the other part about this 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:42.880 job that I think folks in the job I wish 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:48.600 took more seriously and understood that those of us on 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:52.760 national television. And I'm lucky enough to work with a 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:56.880 couple guys who take it this seriously and understand the 0:16:57.000 --> 0:17:00.200 history and know it, which is why our TV show work. 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:05.240 But they pay us a ton of money for fake jobs. 0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:10.800 You have a responsibility to the audience to understand that 0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:14.920 things aren't always unprecedented, and history can tell us a story. 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:21.160 In nineteen ninety eight, Demons, the Minnesota Vikings, had one 0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:24.200 of the greatest teams ever to not make a Super Bowl. 0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:28.399 They had drafted Randy Moss. Our friend Chris Carter was 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:32.000 still there. Randall Cunningham came out of retirement. That team 0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:34.920 went fifteen to one and got unlucky in the conference 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:38.920 championship game. Everyone's like, oh, they'll be back, They'll be back. 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:42.920 And then the next year they took a bit of 0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:45.880 a step backwards. And then the next year they were 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:49.399 back in the conference championship game and they lost forty 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:53.720 one to nothing. Whoa, And they never made it back. 0:17:55.040 --> 0:17:59.000 And then Chris left and then Randy left, and then 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:02.640 the team was turned over to Dante Culpepper. And who 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:05.399 by the way, there is that it had already been 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:07.600 turned over in the two thousand season. I believe there 0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:10.480 is no one's ready for this conversation of is Josh 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:13.959 Allen a white? Dante Culpepper. Nobody's ready for that conversation. 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:17.680 But I might unveil that on television later today. Oh, Demonse, 0:18:18.359 --> 0:18:21.240 you've got to watch his highlights. You've got to watch now. 0:18:21.280 --> 0:18:24.280 He got his knee blown up, so it derailed his career. 0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:27.760 But you've got to watch some Culpeper highlights. He's the biggest, 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:30.520 strongest guy. He can throw the ball seventy yards and 0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:35.440 he's very reckless. Does he remind you of anybody? But 0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:39.120 you can't go backwards like this. 0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:45.040 You can't make a conference championship game, get whooped on 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:48.520 the road, and be like, okay, we're say to everyone, 0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:50.159 we're obsessed with beating the Chiefs. 0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:53.280 That's what they said. After twenty twenty, build your whole 0:18:53.280 --> 0:18:56.680 team to beat them. And then the next year, because 0:18:56.720 --> 0:19:00.000 you're not good enough in the regular season, instead of 0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:02.760 playing the Chiefs again in the play in the conference 0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:05.560 championship game, you got to play him in round two 0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:06.960 in their building. 0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:07.280 Again. 0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:08.919 Blow that game. 0:19:09.720 --> 0:19:14.119 The next year, go spend one hundred and twenty million 0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:18.080 dollars for six years of an aging pass rusher in 0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:21.920 von Miller, because you need one more piece to put 0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:25.359 you over the top. Do all that because Josh Allen's 0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:30.360 contrey hasn't kicked in yet. Once again, not have If 0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:32.040 this game would have happened, it wouldn't have been in 0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:32.960 Buffalo neutral site. 0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:33.560 It doesn't matter. 0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:38.800 But then that year, losing round two at home, not 0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:42.679 even against the Chiefs, and get it blown out. That 0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:47.359 is a straight trajectory downwards. If only someone could have 0:19:47.359 --> 0:19:49.240 warned you, guys next. 0:19:49.040 --> 0:19:51.560 This guy said last thing I'm gonna say about five 0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:53.080 minutes ago, that's hilarious. 0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:57.399 I told them, I told Gabe last night. We're just 0:19:57.440 --> 0:20:00.280 gonna do Bill's Chiefs in a twenty minute a block. Well, 0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:02.880 we've done seventeen minutes. We're not to the Chiefs yet. 0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:04.879 Next. All right, So your Chiefs have moved on to 0:20:04.920 --> 0:20:08.120 the AFC Championship for the fifth straight year. Yeah. 0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:12.320 By the way, just for the record, here, two teams 0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:17.400 have been to five straight conference championship games. Okay, the 0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:19.760 the Raiders did it five times in the seventies with 0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:20.520 John Madden. 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:22.920 John Madden was the great young coach. 0:20:23.000 --> 0:20:23.640 They won one. 0:20:23.560 --> 0:20:26.280 Super Bowl, probably should have won more, went there five times. 0:20:26.480 --> 0:20:29.720 The Patriots went to eight straight from twenty eleven to 0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:33.880 twenty eighteen, which means there have now been twelve consecutive 0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:37.840 AFC Championship games either with the Patriots or the Chiefs. 0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:39.920 Because they played each other in twenty eighteen, the Chiefs 0:20:40.000 --> 0:20:40.800 kind of took the torch. 0:20:41.119 --> 0:20:44.720 What has never happened is a team hosting more than 0:20:44.760 --> 0:20:47.840 three in a row. That this will be the Chiefs. 0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:51.440 Fifth time in a row hosting the conference championship game. 0:20:51.640 --> 0:20:55.000 For some context, de Monsey, the Chiefs were in Super 0:20:55.000 --> 0:20:57.880 Bowl One. They've been around the NFL as long as 0:20:57.880 --> 0:21:01.000 there's been Super Bowls. They had never hosted a conference 0:21:01.080 --> 0:21:04.480 championship game before Mahomes was a part of the team, 0:21:04.920 --> 0:21:07.200 and now they have hosted it every year he's been 0:21:07.200 --> 0:21:07.560 the starter. 0:21:07.720 --> 0:21:11.520 Go ahead, Wow, all right, well this comes at a price. Yeah. 0:21:11.600 --> 0:21:13.680 After the game, it was revealed that Mahomes is dealing 0:21:13.720 --> 0:21:16.480 with a high ankle sprain, but they say he'll continue 0:21:16.480 --> 0:21:18.720 to play through it. You must be really worried about 0:21:18.760 --> 0:21:22.200 the Chiefs playing the Bengals with of course, yeah. 0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:22.639 I mean Mahome. 0:21:22.720 --> 0:21:26.080 We it's amazing he played through it. Yeah, that was 0:21:26.160 --> 0:21:26.880 a great win. 0:21:28.480 --> 0:21:29.199 Now there is. 0:21:29.400 --> 0:21:33.480 Mahomes has suffered three injuries in his career. In twenty nineteen, 0:21:33.480 --> 0:21:35.959 he got his kneecap just located in the regular season. 0:21:36.880 --> 0:21:37.880 They won the Super Bowl. 0:21:38.240 --> 0:21:41.360 In twenty twenty, he got choked out in the playoff game. 0:21:41.480 --> 0:21:42.439 Chad Henney came in. 0:21:43.720 --> 0:21:45.679 They held on for dear life against the Browns, they 0:21:45.720 --> 0:21:48.280 went to the Super Bowl, and now this year, Uh, 0:21:48.720 --> 0:21:52.160 there's a bad injury. High ankle sprain usually knocks guys 0:21:52.160 --> 0:21:55.560 out a month. Mahomes stayed in the game, briefly, left, 0:21:55.600 --> 0:22:00.440 came back and we'll see. Listen, the and the other 0:22:00.800 --> 0:22:04.120 sneaky part of that game was the entire receiving corp 0:22:04.200 --> 0:22:04.720 did nothing. 0:22:05.280 --> 0:22:07.640 NBS had the touchdown catch. That was his only catch. 0:22:07.920 --> 0:22:10.280 Juju made one big catch I think on third down. 0:22:10.480 --> 0:22:13.159 That was his only catch. Sky Moore got the ball twice, 0:22:13.320 --> 0:22:17.040 had zero total yards. This was tight ends, but checko 0:22:17.119 --> 0:22:19.399 the seventh round running back. This is gonna be a 0:22:19.480 --> 0:22:22.159 hell of a test. It's a tough battle even if 0:22:22.200 --> 0:22:27.480 Mahomes is healthy. However, here's what I'll tell you. We 0:22:27.560 --> 0:22:31.439 have updated quarterback rankings in the NFL, and this is 0:22:31.480 --> 0:22:36.960 how they go. Mahomes is an unquestioned one with a bullet. 0:22:37.280 --> 0:22:41.080 Joe Burrow is an unquestioned two with a bullet. Who 0:22:41.080 --> 0:22:42.560 do you think I'm gonna put at number three? 0:22:43.000 --> 0:22:45.439 You're gonna put somebody else, but it should be Jalen Hurts. 0:22:46.400 --> 0:22:49.120 Jalen Hurts has a strong argument, and we'll get to him. 0:22:49.119 --> 0:22:50.400 I'm not gonna say Jalen Hurts. 0:22:50.400 --> 0:22:51.320 Oh, Trevor. 0:22:51.440 --> 0:22:56.040 Nope, I'm not gonna say Trevor the third best go 0:22:56.080 --> 0:22:59.640 ahead rock party. No, that's funny. 0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:03.000 The best quarterback in the league is Patrick Mahomes. The 0:23:03.040 --> 0:23:06.000 second best quarterback in the league is Joe Burrow. The 0:23:06.040 --> 0:23:08.680
