Speaker 2: gonna get revenge on the Raiders, the last team to

20
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 2: beat them, the team to mock them with the karmas stuff.

21
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 2: DeAndre Hopkins on the team. We have all this, we

22
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 2: have a new sponsor, million things to do. Let's get

23
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 2: right to it. Here's what missed the cut, Demanse. Bobby

24
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 2: Sala at the green Bay practice, gonna join the staff

25
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 2: in a consulting role. Sharp move by green Bay to

26
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 2: get him and to prevent San Francisco from getting him.

27
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: A little double dip. Bryce Young is gonna start at Denver,

28
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 2: which has led to one of the most It's not

29
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: one of my picks, but it is a jaw dropping

30
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 2: point spread because the Denver Broncos. Did you look at this?

31
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 2: Do you know off the top of your head, Demanse,

32
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 2: what the Panthers at Bronco goes?

33
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 3: What the line is the Panthers? You know me, not

34
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 3: the Panthers, the Broncos their favorite. I can't remember about

35
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 3: how many? Is it like seven?

36
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 2: Ten bicks? Bow Knicks ten point favorite. If you'd asked

37
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 2: me before the year, what would need to happen for

38
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 2: bow Knicks to be a ten point favorite going into

39
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 2: a football game? I don't know what my answer would

40
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 2: have been, evidently it's played the Panthers and Bryce Young's

41
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 2: return and Brandon Aubrey, the best player on the Cowboys

42
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 2: right now, They're kicker is missing practice this week for

43
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 2: jury duty. So how about that all right? Before we

44
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 2: get to football, I have a rant demonse because the

45
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 2: NBA started this week and for the majority of my life,

46
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 2: had you asked me what my favorite sport is, I

47
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 2: would have said the NBA by a significant margin. Over

48
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 2: the last the last decade, and really since my team

49
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 2: drafted and nurtured and you know, played the greatest player

50
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 2: to ever play in the NFL, the NFL has risen

51
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 2: to where if you'd asked me two years ago, I

52
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: would have said they're dead. Even NFL and NBA tat

53
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 2: like my favorite days or NFL Sundays. My favorite time

54
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 2: of year is NBA playoffs, And over the last couple

55
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 2: of years, the NFL has ascended past the NBA, but

56
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 2: the NBA is still a very strong number two for

57
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 2: me personally. And then this year's opening Night, and I

58
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: just didn't feel the juice, but I'm like, it's the

59
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 2: opening night, I want to watch it. And then I

60
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 2: watched the Celtics shoot sixty threes, and then I saw

61
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 2: that Joel Embiid was out already, and Zion is out already,

62
00:03:55,040 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 2: and Kawhi is out still, and here's the rant or

63
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: the warning or whatever. About five years ago, I hosted

64
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 2: a panel at Sloan, the sports analytics conference that Darryl Morey,

65
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 2: my pal among others, were a part of, and I

66
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 2: asked Darryl what I think is a thoughtful question, which is,

67
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 2: how do you try as a league to serve multiple

68
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 2: masters in this regard. The reason NBA guys can make

69
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: sixty million dollars a year, the reason gms like Daryl

70
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 2: can make well into the seven some into the eight

71
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 2: figures a year, is because the NBA is a super

72
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 2: popular television product. That's it. It is because all of

73
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 2: the money is general rated by the fact that it

74
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 2: is an entertainment product that people value in a way

75
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 2: They don't currently value hockey, and they don't value any

76
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 2: of the you know, go down a few levels, you know, uh,

77
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 2: Ultimate Frisbee, and they don't value paddle or padel or

78
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 2: whatever it's called, like they're all sports. But in this country,

79
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 2: the NFL is king and the Prince is the NBA

80
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 2: and then Major League Baseball. And so what I asked

81
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 2: him was, what if the best way to win starts

82
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 2: to conflict with creating the best television product, Because it

83
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 2: is his job to create a winner, but it is

84
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:57,239
Speaker 2: the league's job to maintain popularity. And if the best

85
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 2: way to create a winner makes the league less popular,

86
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 2: then what are we actually doing? Because yeah, people want

87
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 2: to win, and they want championships, but the reason they

88
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 2: want one of the reasons they wanted is because what

89
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 2: goes along with that is incredible wealth and riches. But

90
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 2: if the league becomes less and less popular, there's less

91
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 2: and less money, and then all of a sudden, running

92
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 2: a basketball team is not as good of the gig

93
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 2: as it once was. Being an NBA star is not

94
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 2: as good of the gig as it once was. And

95
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 2: his answer was, listen, my job is to look at

96
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 2: the rules and create the best chance of winning possible.

97
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 2: If the league needs to change the rules, so be it.

98
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 2: And I'm here to tell you the league needs to

99
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 2: change some rules similar to what Baseball did with the

100
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 2: shift and the pitch clock and paid immediate dividends. If

101
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 2: your customer is telling you the product is getting worse

102
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 2: even though the talent is getting better. Then you need

103
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 2: to adjust. And the NBA, in my opinion, has do

104
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 2: as two not quite existential crises going on, but they

105
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 2: could become that. The first one is this, it took

106
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 2: teams and players and coaches a long time to figure

107
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 2: it out, but they have finally figured out. It's not

108
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 2: only that three is worth more than two, it's that

109
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 2: three is worth a lot more than two because there

110
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 2: is a fifty percent premium on three point shots. The

111
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 2: smart way to play is probably what the Celtics did

112
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 2: on opening night, shoot sixty of them things. Have it

113
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 2: be your entire offense aside from dunks and free throws.

114
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 2: That is the best strategy. That is also terrible television.

115
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 2: The other thing the league or teams have decided is ah,

116
00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 2: the regular season doesn't really matter. All that matters is

117
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 2: peak playoff performance because we're judged on championships. But you

118
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 2: know who, it does matter to your customer and telling

119
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 2: your customer going into day one of the season, Zion's

120
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 2: not ready, Embid's not ready. Who knows when KWHI is

121
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 2: going to be ready? Embiid coming out and saying we're

122
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 2: not playing back to backs. You're alienating your customers flatly.

123
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 2: And I love the league. I love it, but this

124
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 2: shit is not sustainable. And this is where you need

125
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 2: a wartime conciliarity in Adam Silver, and if he isn't one,

126
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 2: they need to find someone to assist him with it.

127
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 2: To make major structural shifts to the league. The simplest

128
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 2: way to fix the threes problem is to change the scoring,

129
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 2: but they'd never do it because all the records would

130
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 2: be thrown out if it was fours and threes instead

131
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 2: of threes and twos. It ends instantly, fixes it because

132
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 2: then there's a thirty three percent premium instead of a

133
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 2: fifty percent premium. But that's not gonna happen, so you

134
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 2: need to adjust. You need to adjust by doing the

135
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 2: Hollandering idea. Was it Hollinger or is it No, it's

136
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 2: not Hollander, it's the cartographer Goldsbury idea, which is have

137
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 2: the three point arc truly be an arc, meaning it

138
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 2: never flattens out and you get rid of the corner threes.

139
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 2: I also think you could do something super radical and

140
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 2: be like, hey, guess what, you know what's also worth

141
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 2: three points dunks? I know this sounds insane guys. But

142
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 2: at its core, the NBA is at its best when

143
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 2: dudes are flying over people meeting them at the rim.

144
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 2: That is when it's at its best television product. A

145
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 2: bunch of finesse guys hanging out at the three point

146
00:09:54,920 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 2: line hoisting thirty footers is not good TV and everybody,

147
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 2: everybody is damaged. If the TV numbers, if the ratings,

148
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 2: if the interest goes down, you are not lifetime entitled

149
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 2: to a top spot in the American consciousness. Ask boxing,

150
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 2: ask horse racing, as baseball, post strike, as hockey anytime

151
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 2: in the last thirty years. You're not guaranteed it, and

152
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 2: you are going down a path where the games are

153
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 2: less compelling television and the fans are worried, do the

154
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 2: players even care? And so, and also the load management

155
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 2: issue of it. We need some evidence that it works.

156
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 2: If you're gonna do it, I haven't seen it. I

157
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 2: haven't seen a drastic reduction in injuries. I haven't seen

158
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 2: guys all of a sudden being of so much fresher

159
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 2: come the postseason. It's not what I see. I see

160
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 2: the guy who take time off in the regular season

161
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 2: because of injury are still just as injured in the postseason.

162
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 2: And so it's just a warning to a league I love,

163
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 2: you are playing a dangerous, dangerous game. And this is

164
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 2: you know what, demons before we move on to football.

165
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 2: This is a first cousin of take my tush push

166
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 2: take yeah, which is be like, be careful TV, and

167
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 2: also don't let it get too good. Like the best

168
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 2: thing that ever happened to the not the best thing

169
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 2: that ever happened, but a really good thing that happened

170
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 2: for the NFL is that the Eagles never figured out

171
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,839
Speaker 2: how to get four yards a pop out of that,

172
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 2: because if they did, they should run at every single

173
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 2: play and they would win. And Howie Roseman and Nick

174
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 2: Sirian and be like, our job is to win, and

175
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 2: yet it is. But it's the league job to make

176
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 2: sure people want to watch what you're doing and that

177
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 2: And this is not an anti Celtics thing. I'm not

178
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 2: saying it because the Celtics shot sixty. And I brought

179
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 2: up Darryl Mory because he kind of got this train

180
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 2: rolling with Houston a decade ago. But it's a dangerous precedent, y'all,

181
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 2: and it's bad for the league. I'm just telling you,

182
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 2: flat out. The NFL, to their credit, has no problem

183
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 2: being like, oh, our customers like offense. We are changing

184
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,719
Speaker 2: the rules to make it easier to play offense, and

185
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 2: we'll keep changing them. Our customers hate when quarterbacks get hurt,

186
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 2: so we're gonna make it damn near impossible to sack

187
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 2: the quarterback violently without getting a penalty like the baseball.

188
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 2: It took them a long time and then they're like,

189
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 2: you know what the shift to effective. Guess what new

190
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 2: rules can't do it? Sorry? Sorry, Oh you were all

191
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 2: these things. You have to be ready, willing and able

192
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 2: to adjust. All right, there's my NBA rant. Now we

193
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 2: can get to football, demons. Go ahead?

194
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 3: Was off fair?

195
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 2: Uh?

196
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 3: So your chiefs finally made a move for a big

197
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 3: name of my receiver in DeAndre Hopkins. Now he's not

198
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 3: the player that he was when he was whack with Houston.

199
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 3: But do you think that the hop can save us

200
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,719
Speaker 3: struggling Patrick Mahomes willby Mahomes saving DeAndre Hopkins.

201
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't think anyone, either one of them needs saving.

202
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 2: But I do think that this is a valuable addition,

203
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 2: and there's a lot of layers to it. First, let

204
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 2: me actually talk from Hopkins perspective. You know how many

205
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 2: quarterbacks DeAndre Hopkins demand has caught a pass from drafted

206
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 2: the same year as Kelsey. So this is year twelve

207
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 2: for him. Drafted in twenty thirteen. Give it a guess

208
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 2: how many quarterbacks?

209
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 3: Seven? Six or seven?

210
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 2: You're close. Seventeen. He has caught a pass from seventeen quarterbacks. Okay,

211
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 2: So like I. DeAndre Hopkins, who is an all timer,

212
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 2: five time All Pro, three time first team All Pro,

213
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 2: he has caught passes from the f In his Houston

214
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 2: days before Deshaun Watson got there, he had Brandon Whedon,

215
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 2: Case Keenum, Ryan Mallet who passed away, Matt schaub tj Yates,

216
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 2: Brock Osweiler, Brian Hoyer. Those are his quarterbacks before Deshaun.

217
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 2: They then get to Shawn. He gets thirty eight games

218
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 2: with Deshaun and they're awesome together. He then goes to Arizona.

219
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 2: They have Kyler Murray. They have thirty games together, pretty good.

220
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 2: Kyler gets hurt with Arizona. He then gets Colt McCoy,

221
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 2: Trace McSorley, and Chris Streveler. He then signs with the

222
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 2: Titans and gets Ryan Tannehill, Will Levis Mason Rudolph And

223
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 2: there's one other quarterback that I'm leaving out, but that's

224
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 2: all right. That's those are his.

225
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 3: Quarterable Johan Deshaun Watson Houston was the best quarterback of all.

226
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 2: Those by a mile, by a mile. And so, oh,

227
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 2: it's as bad as it gets.

228
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 3: Man Malik Willis. Maybe, Oh it's Malik Willis. Alink is

229
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 3: that the name he left?

230
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 2: No, because Malik Willis never threw him up the Malik.

231
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 2: He never caught a pass from Malik Willis. He has Malik.

232
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 2: There are two people, not all of the seventeen. They're

233
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 2: nineteen people have thrown him a pass. He's caught one

234
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 2: from seventeen. The two have thrown him a pass they

235
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 2: didn't catch one from Is Malik Willis and Derrick Henry

236
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 2: h oo for two one targets by those two guys.

237
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 2: So for d Hop this is an oasis in the

238
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 2: quarterback desert. And it's a really cool deal that it's

239
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 2: not like a make a wish thing, but there is

240
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 2: a cool thing that happens every year in the NFL

241
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 2: that I don't know why he doesn't get talked about more.

242
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 2: Which is the pre eminent dynasty with the best quarterback

243
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 2: we've ever seen. Once a year surveys the landscape and says,

244
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 2: who can we save and cup and who can we

245
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 2: give a new lease on their career? That's with a

246
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 2: terrible quarterback situation, dysfunctional franchise. And two years ago they're like,

247
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 2: you know what, young Djoka Kadarius Tony, come on down

248
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 2: to a real organization, learn to play football with the

249
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 2: Chiefs and play your cards right, you get to score

250
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 2: a touchdown in the Super Bowl. And he's like, okay, deal,

251
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 2: and he did and they did. And then the next

252
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 2: year they look at the landscape again, who can we save,

253
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 2: old friend mccol hardman, We get you out of the

254
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 2: Jets dysfunction. Come on down and guess what, you'll get

255
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 2: to score a touchdown in the Super Bowl. And this

256
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 2: year it's DeAndre Hopkins. Look around. You know what, will

257
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 2: Levis Mason come on to Kansas City and in a

258
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 2: few months DeAndre will get to score a touchdown in

259
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. It'll be great for all parties involved. Now,

260
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 2: you know, I don't love old receivers. And he's thirty two,

261
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 2: which is why one of the reasons the Chiefs are

262
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 2: the Chiefs is because they didn't give up a third

263
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 2: round pick for DeVante Adams a third round pick for

264
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 2: Amari Cooper. They gave up a fifth round pick and

265
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 2: Tennessee's picking up half the money for DeAndre Hopkins. And

266
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 2: what Hopkins will do is play the exact role Rashi

267
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 2: Rice was playing. He won't be as good after the catch,

268
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 2: but it'll be excellent at the catch point. The slot receiver.

269
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 2: That'll be a Mahomes third down guy, and it'll work.

270
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 2: It just flatly will work. Do I think the Chiefs

271
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 2: would have been fine anyways? But this is minimal cost,

272
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 2: not super high upside, but a little upside. Just like

273
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 2: I really liked the Amari Cooper moved for the Bills.

274
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 2: I like this move for the Chiefs. I wouldn't I

275
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 2: there was rumors that, oh, the Rams want a second

276
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 2: round pick for Cooper cup I would not have wanted that.

277
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 2: That's too eye of a price. And Cooper, even though

278
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 2: he's a great player, his ankles might be shot his

279
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 2: injury stuff. It's less of an injury concern with DeAndre Hopkins,

280
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 2: and he's just gonna be a reliable third down target.

281
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 3: So isn't it like kind of wild? Like what's at

282
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 3: stake for the Chiefs they give up the hop for

283
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 3: a fifth rounder, conditional fourth. It's like, I don't.

284
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 2: Know, well, and by the way, you know what I'm

285
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 2: so a couple of things. One is, I'm glad you

286
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 2: mentioned the conditional fourth part of it because I called

287
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 2: it a fifth rounder. I really should call it a

288
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 2: fourth rounder because the condition is the Chiefs make the

289
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, and obviously they're going to, so it'll end

290
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 2: up being a fourth round pick. I don't think there

291
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 2: was a I don't think there was a huge market.

292
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 2: And I also think that while the rest of the league,

293
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 2: like there's been a lot of reports that teams don't

294
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 2: want to help the Chiefs threepete and there's you know,

295
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 2: the Chiefs got to pay a premium on this stuff.

296
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 2: The Chiefs and Titans did business this summer. The Chiefs

297
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 2: traded lugerious sneed to Tennessee. So there is a relationship there,

298
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,479
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. And maybe I'm not sure,

299
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 2: but I do wonder. I do wonder. I don't know

300
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 2: this at all raw naked speculation. I wonder if when

301
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 2: Brett Veach was negotiating the trade with Tennessee and Brett

302
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,400
Speaker 2: said I want X, and Tennessee said, well, how about why,

303
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 2: and then they're going through it. If he brought up

304
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 2: to him, hey, all right, we wanted an extra sixth

305
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 2: round pick in this deal. But never no, you will

306
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 2: take your guys last best off, or keep that in

307
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,919
Speaker 2: mind if at some point this year you decide you

308
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 2: want to be sellers. In regards to DeAndre Hopkins, because

309
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 2: Hopkins had looked at the Chiefs a couple of years ago.

310
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 2: I think there were a lot of us that going

311
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 2: into the year were like, man, Tennessee's not gonna be

312
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 2: as good as they think they're gonna be. You know,

313
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 2: that's a guy on this very show. I said his name.

314
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 2: He was one of the first names I listed because

315
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 2: I didn't think he'd be that expensive from a draft

316
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 2: or salary compensation. So those relationships do matter, and those

317
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 2: relationships are good, and I expect demonse and you have

318
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 2: to follow up to see DeAndre in a few packages

319
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 2: on the field this Sunday against the Raiders.

320
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 3: Yeah. So, I mean the Raiders are the most recent

321
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 3: team to beat the Chiefs, and they also took the

322
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 3: offseason to mock Patrick Mahomes with the whole Kermit the

323
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 3: Frock thing. So what do you think Patrick Mahomes and

324
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 3: the Chiefs have in store with them this Sunday.

325
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't listen. I don't think they're gonna forget

326
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 2: the I think Mahomes will do something and then do

327
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 2: a mimic Kermit the Frog thing himself. I think that's

328
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 2: totally on the board. I also think that they're not

329
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 2: going to forget Antonio Pierce saying he has the recipe

330
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 2: to beat the Chiefs and listen, you are the last

331
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 2: season that works out. Yeah, over the summer. He's like, yeah,

332
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 2: we have the recipe and so listen. As long as

333
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 2: we double team Max Crosby every play, this game should

334
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 2: be no problem whatsoever. All right, let's go to the

335
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 2: Cowboys demanse Well.

336
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 3: So, earlier this week, Jerry Jones seemed to take a

337
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 3: shot at his head coach Mike McCarthy and saying that

338
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 3: the plays were bad plays and bad concepts, bad designs,

339
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 3: all that it's not like Jerry Jones has any control

340
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 3: over who's the head coach. But then a ton of

341
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 3: former Cowboys players came out and said, on the record,

342
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 3: has been very distracting, that there's been tourists were in

343
00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 3: the facility while they have practices or is this all

344
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 3: nothing or is there something? There? Is this bigger than

345
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 3: what you thought initially?

346
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 2: Well, listen, the tours article is insane. I didn't understand

347
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 2: the scope of it. The tickets are forty bucks apiece,

348
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 2: forty bucks right, ninety bucks if you want to talk

349
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 2: to hologram Jerry Jones after the tour, that's true story.

350
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 2: But let's just assume. So let's assume that the average

351
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 2: ticket ends up costing fifty because the cheapest is forty,

352
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 2: the most expensive is ninety. Most people probably buy the tickets,

353
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 2: but they make ten million dollars a year off this.

354
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 2: So ten million divided by fifty dollars means they're selling

355
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 2: two hundred thousand tour tickets a year. Two hundred thousand.

356
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 2: There's a tour every twenty minutes almost every day. That

357
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 2: is a lot. And and here's the other thing, the

358
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 2: crazy thing about it in the article, this isn't a

359
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 2: money grab by Jerry Jones. Of that ten million, you

360
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 2: know how much the Cowboys get one hundred and sixty

361
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 2: two thousand dollars because it's considered football revenue. So the

362
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 2: way the math on that works is all football revenue

363
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 2: gets split with the players and then split with every team.

364
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 2: So the players get forty eight percent, the league gets

365
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 2: fifty two percent. So ten million bucks forty eight percent

366
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 2: off the top of the players. Now you have five

367
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 2: point two million, five point two million divided by thirty

368
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,719
Speaker 2: two teams. Now you have one hundred and sixty two thousand,

369
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 2: five hundred dollars. So you might be like, why does

370
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 2: Jerry do it? And it's not because of the money.

371
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 2: It's because of the attention. It's because we're the Dallas

372
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 2: dam Cowboys were the biggest show in town and we

373
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 2: want this is how we want to do business. And

374
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 2: the players hate it. And I don't blame them. I couldn't.

375
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 2: I couldn't when I always knew the Cowboys did these tours.

376
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 2: We've heard people talk about it. I assumed Demonsey it

377
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 2: was like a thousand bucks a ticket or given out

378
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 2: to corporations or long times, you know what I mean,

379
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 2: the occasional like guess what you and four friends for

380
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,360
Speaker 2: being a loyal season ticket holder can tour the facility.

381
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 2: I didn't think it was a group of ten to

382
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 2: twenty people every half hour it's just going through the facility.

383
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 2: I mean, it's unbelievable.

384
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 3: He's also telling them like, it's like you could just

385
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 3: do that during the off season. They're like, don't talk

386
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 3: to the players. It's worked on them. Why don't you

387
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 3: make it work?

388
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 2: People want to see, right, people want to see the players.

389
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 2: And Jerry's quotes on this were unbelievable, where he said,

390
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 2: no one's ever complained about it, but it wouldn't matter

391
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 2: if they did. I mean this, it's just all time.

392
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 2: I used to think that Jerry Jones distraction stuff was overwrought.

393
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,919
Speaker 2: Not so much anymore. The guy does seem to be

394
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 2: a bit of a menace. When it comes to the

395
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 2: Cowboys succeeding. It's really an unbelievable story. And they play

396
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 2: the Niners this week. Uh, and we'll see if that

397
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 2: that comes up in Knicks picks for the It's a

398
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 2: huge game for both teams, obviously, I would argue actually

399
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 2: a bigger game for the Niners because the Niners always

400
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 2: beat the Cowboys, and if they don't win this week

401
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,439
Speaker 2: and fall to three and five, it's a sign of

402
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 2: real structural problems with the team right now. Meanwhile, in

403
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 2: a weird way. Since the Cowboys always lose to the Niners,

404
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 2: losing to them won't be as much of a shock

405
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 2: to the system. Also, in the NFC East, I think

406
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 2: Washington's gonna lose to Chicago this weekend because I don't

407
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 2: think Jayden's playing, and I think the Eagles are gonna

408
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 2: lose to the Bengals. So even if the Cowboys lose,

409
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 2: they could potentially keep pace in the NFC East. Uh right, yeah,

410
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 2: maybe a little bit. All right, let's go to the Rams.

411
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 3: Yes, so the Rams year is obviously not gone as

412
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 3: good as they hoped. You were Hio in La before

413
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 3: the season. But injuries across.

414
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 2: The board the NFC Championship game.

415
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, injuries across the board have them at two and

416
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 3: four right now. Cup and Stafford were in some weird

417
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 3: trade rumors. The Rams win tonight versus Minnesota, they're right

418
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 3: back in that thing. What do you think is gonna

419
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 3: happen with this team?

420
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 2: All right? The Stafford trade rumors were wild, like, and

421
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 2: I think I think they were pretty unfounded. But it

422
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 2: was that Minnesota might try to trade for him, which

423
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 2: is who they're playing tonight. And Sam Darnold's got to

424
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 2: be like, what the what are you kidding? Wasn't I

425
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 2: on like everybody's MVP list a couple of weeks ago,

426
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 2: Like now we're trading, by the way, let me tell

427
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 2: you something. Right now, Vikings trading for Matt Stafford.

428
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 3: I would, yeah, immediately right.

429
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 2: More than contenders, the favorites in the NFC, the hands

430
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 2: down favorites in the NFC, if they would do that.

431
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,479
Speaker 2: I don't think that's gonna happen. Uh, but it's a

432
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 2: really weird spot, Like, let's just talk about those rumors

433
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 2: for a second again. I think it's very, very unlikely,

434
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 2: but in a weird way. Like if you're Sam Darnald

435
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 2: tonight and you think these rumors are real, you're like, well,

436
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 2: let's let's let's game this out. I play really. I

437
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 2: play well tonight. We win and we beat the Rams,

438
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 2: and the Rams realize their season's over, they need to

439
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 2: hold a fire sale and Stafford's available. That's not good

440
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 2: for me. Okay, let's play out the other side of it.

441
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 2: I play poorly tonight and we lose. Well, that's not

442
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 2: good for me either. Poor Sam Darnald's kind of gonna lose. Lose.

443
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 2: You're playing because you're playing the Rams, you beat them

444
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 2: to say, to show you should be the guy. It

445
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,880
Speaker 2: makes it more likely that that quarterback's available. I don't

446
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 2: think they're trading Stafford. I also thought, you know, Pooka

447
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 2: my return tonight. They think Kupp could return tonight. I

448
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 2: or is supposed to play to night. I should say

449
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 2: I thought the I thought the Rams were pretty transparent

450
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 2: and leaking to the media. Oh yeah, I mean, we'd

451
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 2: hate to trade Cooper Cup, but for the low low

452
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 2: price of a second round pick, we'd trade him. Like,

453
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 2: no one's giving you a second round pick for Cooper

454
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 2: Cup and all his ankle injuries and the salary has

455
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 2: left nobody's doing that. But I still think demanse and

456
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 2: maybe this is just me being tied to my preseason priors.

457
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 2: The Rams, if they get healthy, could turn it around.

458
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 2: And I will remind the audience that the Rams last

459
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 2: year started three and six and then ended up ten

460
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 2: and seven and in a back and forth one point

461
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 2: playoff game against the Lions. But this they really have

462
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 2: to steal this one tonight, because falling to two and

463
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 2: five might be a hole too big when you still

464
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 2: have on the schedule at Seattle, at San Francisco, another

465
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 2: game against Seattle, home for Philly, home for Buffalo, home

466
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 2: for Miami, like the Rams need this win and Vikings

467
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 2: obviously are the Vikings coming off No, they were coming

468
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 2: off of by last the Vikings coming off a tough loss. Now.

469
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 2: Other one thing on that though, fun fact because it

470
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 2: was Vikings Lions this weekend. The Lions this year, every

471
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 2: team that has played them has lost the following week.

472
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 2: Remember when the Niners did that a couple of years ago,

473
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 2: where it's like every team that played the Niners then

474
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 2: lost the following week. The Lions beat you up so

475
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 2: much it would there's a real trend here where everybody

476
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 2: that plays the Lions the next week they get beat

477
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 2: and typically get beat pretty badly. So that probably doesn't

478
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 2: that maybe doesn't bode well for the Vikings. I don't know.

479
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 2: It's actually a sneaky great Thursday night football game. All right,

480
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 2: let's go to Let's go to Bronni real quick and

481
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 2: then move on.

482
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 3: So, for the first time since twenty sixteen, the Lakers

483
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 3: won an opening night that obviously wasn't the huge story here.

484
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 3: Lebron and Bronny took the court together, and even for

485
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 3: those that hate Lebron. You gotta admit this is a

486
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 3: really cool thing.

487
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 2: You take it Listen. I just want to jump in.

488
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 2: I just want to respond to that part real quick.

489
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 2: I don't think those people will acknowledge it was a

490
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 2: really cool thing. I ain't that there, so I couldn't

491
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 2: help myself but respond to someone on Twitter Fox Sports

492
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:44,719
Speaker 2: radio guy who I don't know definitively how old this

493
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 2: guy is, but I would bet a lot of money

494
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 2: he is younger than me and I I think probably

495
00:30:54,240 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 2: in his early thirties. And he tweeted, I'm just gonnad

496
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 2: you the exact tweet because I was so annoyed by

497
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 2: it that I was like, you know what, I'm just

498
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 2: gonna I'm gonna break my prohibition and directly respond to somebody.

499
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 2: So he tweeted, and this now, of course has thousands

500
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 2: of retweets. I'll say it so you don't have to.

501
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 2: There's nothing historic or special about Bronni and Lebron playing together.

502
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 2: It's solely to satiate the ego of Lebron. James King,

503
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 2: Griffy Senior and Junior felt special. That felt weird, staged,

504
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 2: and honestly just awkward. So I'll respond to the merits

505
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 2: of all that in a second. But here's why I

506
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 2: replied to this guy, and why I find some of

507
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 2: this stuff so cartoonish. This line King Griffy Senior and

508
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 2: Junior felt special, Bro, that was thirty four years ago.

509
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 2: I don't believe you were alive, and if you were,

510
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 2: you certainly don't remember how it felt. So don't tell

511
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 2: me this felt different when you're just making it up.

512
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 2: You didn't. You can now junior and senior, different caliber players,

513
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 2: all this stuff, But this pulling on the emotional that

514
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 2: it felt differently, full of shit. You're just making things up.

515
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 2: You were either not born or too young to have

516
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 2: any recollection of how anything felt. So it's just again

517
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 2: and away. And I saw Michelle Beadle be like yesterday

518
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 2: basically called the whole thing a sham. Folks, the guy

519
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 2: who has played more minutes in the NBA than anyone ever,

520
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 2: who has scored more points in the NBA than anyone ever,

521
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 2: who is the most hyped prep player in the history

522
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 2: of the league, who has been scrutinized more than anyone

523
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 2: in the history of the league, who's had no scandal,

524
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 2: who's had no off the court issues, who has been

525
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 2: a leader in his community and at worst the third

526
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 2: greatest player of all time and at best the greatest

527
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 2: player of all time, had a kid who we saw

528
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 2: grow up on the sidelines. That kid then was a

529
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 2: top college prospect. He then went to a top program

530
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 2: and his heart stopped and he damn near died on

531
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 2: the court. He then came back and started playing again

532
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 2: and was a fringe draftable prospect. The team that still

533
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 2: employs his dad, arguably the greatest player of all time,

534
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 2: used a late second round pick on him, and these

535
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 2: two guys were on the court in an NBA game together.

536
00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 2: It's one of the coolest fucking things in sports. His string.

537
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 2: And if you dislike Lebron so much that you're like, oh,

538
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 2: what just a photo op to satiate the guy's ego,

539
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 2: it you've lost the plot. Now, if later in the

540
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 2: season Bronnie is, you know, stealing minutes from Austin reeves

541
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:28,240
Speaker 2: and getting cooked left and right, and Lebron's making it happen,

542
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:33,760
Speaker 2: that will be a problem. But that's not going to happen, guys,

543
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 2: And I so listen. I thought it was supered dope.

544
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 2: And I also think there is an element of and

545
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 2: this is goes unspoken with a lot of it, but

546
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 2: all speak to it. We've talked about it a bit

547
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 2: on this before that in the nineties a huge through

548
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 2: line of NBA coverage was bad guys, the word thug

549
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 2: thrown around a lot, absent fathers, kids all over the

550
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 2: country that they don't see that. Sports Illustrated had a

551
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 2: horrifying cover we've talked about on the show before, demanday

552
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 2: of a little black baby boy and the headline it

553
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 2: was where's daddy? And talking about absentee NBA fathers. The

554
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 2: face of the league for twenty years has been as

555
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 2: active as involved parent and husband as we've ever seen

556
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 2: in sports. And now his oldest son shared the court

557
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 2: with him in an NBA game. If you can't see that,

558
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 2: that is an unbelievable story, and save your what aboutism?

559
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 2: Well what about later, let's see how it plays out.

560
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 2: But Tuesday night that was dope as hell and so

561
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 2: oh and again, if you want to take shots at Lebron,

562
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:10,479
Speaker 2: take shots at Lebron, but don't don't recreate history about

563
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 2: other moments that you weren't around for and how they're different.

564
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 2: Just nonsense. Get Week eight Gambling Show next. What's right?

565

593
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 2: here's where we're at on my season picks. We weren't

594
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 2: here last week. The week before last, I went one

595
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 2: and four, first true disaster of the season. Last week

596
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 2: I went three and two. We'll get to that in

597
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 2: a second. That means through seven weeks, I've made thirty

598
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:32,720
Speaker 2: five picks. Theoretically, since it's an odd number, I shouldn't

599
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 2: be able to be five hundred, but I had one

600
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 2: push in there, which has allowed me to be seventeen

601
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 2: seventeen and one, which does mean if I had gotten

602
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 2: in order to be tied with Demonse in his picks,

603
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:54,320
Speaker 2: I would have needed ten of those losses to be wins.

604
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 2: Would I just just ten bets go a different way,

605
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,120
Speaker 2: and I'd be where he is? But last week I

606
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 2: felt pretty good about it. We weren't able to do

607
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 2: it on the show, but we'll talk you through it.

608
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 2: The Jags prohibition ended. I promptly bet them laying five

609
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 2: and a half in London. They were down early, didn't matter.

610
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 2: The Patriots stink. The Titans plus nine and a half.

611
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you, man that bs that I didn't

612
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 2: win that bet. You might say, Nick, they lost by

613
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 2: one hundred. They were up ten zero. I was catching

614
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 2: nearly ten points. The game started ten to nothing Titans,

615
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 2: and then Buffalo scored thirty four consecutive points. But my

616
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 2: other three bets I loved as well, even though only

617
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:44,919
Speaker 2: one two of them. Chief plus one and a half

618
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 2: at the Niners Auto must fire every time the Chiefs

619
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,320
Speaker 2: are underdogs. It might happen again this year. Who knows.

620
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh plus one and a half against the Jets. That

621
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 2: game didn't start well, ended great, and then and I

622
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 2: gotta tell you, I know you're gonna say I'm crazy

623
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 2: Tampa plus three and Alfagans Baltimore. I don't feel badly

624
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,879
Speaker 2: about that bet get and I know that they ended

625
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 2: up getting blown out yet well they can't exactly. They

626
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:14,320
Speaker 2: came out ten, oh, they should have come out fourteen nothing.

627
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 2: Then they drove again and Baker through that pick in

628
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 2: the end zone. So I felt like good process for

629
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 2: all of these picks yesterday or last week three and two.

630
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,439
Speaker 2: Now here's the thing is, you guys might be able

631
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 2: to see if you follow me on Twitter. My guy

632
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 2: Zach has been making these awesome graphics for us, and

633
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 2: one of them is my season long betting trends and

634
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 2: scores and everything. And he informed me I am ten

635
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 2: and three when betting on AFC teams and seven and

636
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 2: fourteen when betting on NFC teams, which would lead you

637
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 2: to believe I have a much better pulse of the

638
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 2: AFC right now that in NFC, which is a little disconcerting. Yeah,

639
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 2: that's exactly right. I always lose to the NFC. You're right.

640
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:13,280
Speaker 2: It's also a little disconcerting because in reviewing my wagers

641
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 2: for this week, four of the five NFC teams, I

642
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 2: gotta turn it around somehow. I gotta turn it around somehow.

643
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 2: So the first one Demond's, however, is my one AFC team.

644
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 2: You're gonna hate it. I'm sure. Go ahead.

645
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, you've got Cleveland plus eight and a half versus Baltimore.

646
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just yeah, I'm just gonna be I might

647
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 2: logic on this is twofold. First one AFC North games.

648
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 2: You should not be laying more than a touchdown in

649
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 2: any circumstance that it's divisional games. The division's too well contested.

650
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 2: You shouldn't ever be laying more than eight and a half.

651
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 2: And the other and by the way, just back that up.

652
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 2: Dogs in AFC North games are forty five and thirty

653
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 2: one against the spread in their last seventy six games

654
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 2: or whatever that is. But here's the other reason. The

655
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 2: Browns team just got a new lease on the season.

656
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 2: With Jamis being the quarterback, you are going to see

657
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 2: more excitement and belief in that offense than you have

658
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:30,720
Speaker 2: seen all year. And Baltimore the one thing they can't

659
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 2: do is defend the pass. Now, I understand Amari Cooper's gone.

660
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:39,879
Speaker 2: I'm not acting like Jamis is gonna be great. Finish well,

661
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 2: oh yeah, that's the right aways. Yes, the back door

662
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 2: is always wide open with the Ravens. You're one hundred

663
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:52,320
Speaker 2: correct on that. And so do I feel great about

664
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:58,280
Speaker 2: betting Jamis Winston and the Cleveland Browns uh in any spot?

665
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 2: I don't. But do I feel like that a home

666
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 2: divisional dog of eight and a half points is almost

667
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 2: a must fire, especially if you think that team's defense

668
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 2: in Cleveland is pretty decent. I do. So I'll take

669
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 2: Baltimore plus the eight and a half.

670
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 3: Next, and next you've got green Bay minus four at Jacksonville.

671
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 2: So fade and the Prince and so here's here's why

672
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 2: I think this is the rare time where laying laying

673
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 2: more than a field goal on the road is the

674
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:44,360
Speaker 2: sharp side of things. I don't think it can be

675
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:51,720
Speaker 2: overstated how bad Jacksonville's defense is. The Jags defense can't

676
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:58,799
Speaker 2: cover anyone. The Packers have three viable legitimate receivers, and

677
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 2: Jordan Love is out here trying to throw four touchdowns

678
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:05,879
Speaker 2: a game. Now, you might throw a couple picks with it,

679
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 2: but he he is foot on neck at all times,

680
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 2: and so I just feel like this is a game.

681
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 2: Green Bay scores thirty one thirty two points and I

682
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 2: don't think Jacksonville is gonna get to the high twenties.

683
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 2: I think green Bay's defense has been better than I expected.

684
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:31,800
Speaker 2: This year feels like a thirty one, twenty one, thirty

685
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 2: one twenty four type of green Bay win. So I

686
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 2: just think Jags have arguably the worst defense in the

687
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:40,800
Speaker 2: NFL right now. It's certainly on the very short list.

688
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:44,239
Speaker 2: So this listen, I feel bad fading the Prince, but

689
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:46,280
Speaker 2: green Bay minus four, I think it is the sharp

690
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 2: side of this one demonsa your thoughts.

691
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 3: And I like green Bay minus I'm yeah, I don't

692
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 3: trust exactly twenty one was I thought the Jags wuld

693
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 3: score there, and I don't trust the Jags at all.

694
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on there. Like from everything,

695
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:03,840
Speaker 3: I can't blame it on Doug Peterson. It just seems

696
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 3: like the players don't even want to catch the ball,

697
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:11,439
Speaker 3: and then when they can, Lawrence is overthrowing it. It's

698
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 3: what I'm seeing on the field. It's like he can't

699
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 3: execute the play.

700
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 2: Wow, players, Well that's what he said. That's what That's

701
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 2: what Doug Peterson said, the exact thing. Also, I will

702
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 2: say this and I'm listen, I'm not besmirching your handicapping

703
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 2: abilities at all. But I would wager a lot of

704
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 2: money and one of these games they were terrible, and

705
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 2: one of these games they were excellent. That you have

706
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:39,919
Speaker 2: not seen a second of JAG's football the last two

707
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 2: weeks because back to back weeks they were six thirty

708
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 2: am West Coast start times, and I just don't think

709
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 2: you were getting game.

710
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 3: And I've had on their past games.

711
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:58,399
Speaker 2: And so but I think that's actually fine because they

712
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 2: look terrible in the first one again in Chicago. They

713
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 2: looked good in this last one. But you're playing the

714
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 2: damn Patriots, So what does it really matter? Right? All right?

715
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:07,480
Speaker 2: Next one?

716
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 3: Next we've got Atlanta minus two and a half at

717
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 3: Tampa Bay.

718
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 2: Hold on, I think you just skipped one, didn't you.

719
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 2: Oh no, oh, no, I skipped That's my bad. No, no, no,

720
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 2: you're right. Yeah. I just worry that Atlanta. I'm sorry

721
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:29,799
Speaker 2: that Tampa Ravens beat them twice. Yeah, I just think

722
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 2: the emotional toll of that loss and no godwin, No

723
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:39,760
Speaker 2: Evans Baker also got beat up in that game.

724
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:42,720
Speaker 3: I'm just Tampa gotten DeAndre Hopkins.

725
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:47,320
Speaker 2: If they wanted, well, sure they could have tried. Yeah, definitely.

726
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 2: But I just, I really I think that when did

727
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 2: the Chiefs trade for DeAndre? It was Tuesday? Right? Was

728
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 2: it on our two? No?

729
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 3: This is this is Wednesday. This wasn't interesting.

730
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:05,319
Speaker 2: Lose yesterday, Okay, So that's why I didn't know if

731
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 2: it was yesterday morning or the day before yesterday. Okay,

732
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 2: the you're probably right, doesn't matter. You are right. It

733
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 2: was yesterday morning. It broke. It broke like early early morning,

734
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:19,880
Speaker 2: yesterday morning. Uh, And so point that I the reason

735
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 2: I'm asking it is it does seem like the Chiefs

736
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 2: and Titans were working on it Monday, even if it

737
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 2: wasn't done, and Tampa didn't know they were gonna need

738
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 2: a receiver on Monday. So the now, I do think

739
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:36,359
Speaker 2: they're gonna get Mike Evans back. I just think that

740
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:41,439
Speaker 2: Tampa's defense has been highly disappointing. Atlanta's gonna be able

741
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 2: to move the ball, and I just think that that

742
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:48,359
Speaker 2: type of loss against Baltimore, where you get beat up

743
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 2: and you lose key players, I just could see Atlanta

744
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 2: having real control of this game, even as bad as

745
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:58,760
Speaker 2: they looked last week. I'm laying less than a field

746
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 2: goal again, I'm taking another road favorite, which is typically

747
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 2: not the sharp side of things, but I do that

748
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:06,839
Speaker 2: a few times. This week, I'm gonna lay the two

749
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 2: and a half with Atlantic because I think the Tampa

750
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 2: injuries are too much. And Baker, by the way, is

751
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 2: four and ten against the spread at home against division opponents,

752
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 2: and Kirk Cousins, off a loss, is forty and twenty

753
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 2: six against the spread, which is fifth best since he

754
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 2: in the last twenty years in the NFL. All right,

755
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:28,920
Speaker 2: next one. I'm telling you right now, I don't feel

756
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 2: great about this, but I feel like I'm obligated to

757
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:32,440
Speaker 2: do it.

758
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 3: Go ahead, You've got a New Orleans plus seven at

759
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:37,240
Speaker 3: the Chargers.

760
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, So here's the deal. I obviously don't think New

761
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:47,880
Speaker 2: Orleans is good. In fact, I think they're bad, really

762
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 2: really bad. However, the following people for the Chargers did

763
00:48:53,800 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 2: not even practice yesterday. Darius Davis, will Disley, Hayden Hurst,

764
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 2: Quinton Johnston, Lad McConkie, Denzel Perryman. They had another four

765
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 2: guys that were limited in practice. Also, they are they

766
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 2: they don't score points, so how are they really going

767
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 2: to cover seven? Their points scored this year are twenty two,

768
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 2: twenty six, ten, ten, twenty three and fifteen New Orleans

769
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:37,880
Speaker 2: for all its faults, and you know, and I think again,

770
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 2: I think New Orleans is a bad team. New Orleans,

771
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 2: prior to last week against the Broncos, had been able

772
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:47,240
Speaker 2: to move the ball most of the year and score

773
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 2: some points. I just think that this also, there will

774
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 2: unequivocally be far more Saints fans at this game in

775
00:49:57,239 --> 00:50:01,239
Speaker 2: Los Angeles than there are New Orleans fans. I just

776
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 2: I don't think the Chargers have earned the right to

777
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:11,959
Speaker 2: be a touchdown favorite over anyone. So I'll begrudgingly take

778
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 2: the seven points and believe this is going I mean,

779
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:17,719
Speaker 2: last game the Chargers play, they didn't score any touchdowns

780
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:21,640
Speaker 2: and Herbert once again got beat up. The offensive line,

781
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 2: pardon me, has not been as good as advertised. This

782
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 2: just really feels to me like a seventeen thirteen, seventeen, fourteen,

783
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:36,359
Speaker 2: sixteen to ten ugly game where New Orleans is not.

784
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:39,440
Speaker 2: New Orleans is gonna get to the teams. And I

785
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:42,280
Speaker 2: just don't know that the Chargers are scoring twenty plus.

786
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:45,840
Speaker 2: That offense has been wholly uninspiring. So I'll take New

787
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 2: Orleans plus the seven.

788
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:51,920
Speaker 3: Last one, demonsee, last one, Yes, Chicago Brin's two and

789
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 3: a half at Washington my favorite.

790
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:57,480
Speaker 2: Well, so listen, this is my third road favorite I'm taking.

791
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:01,120
Speaker 2: But I am also gonna mention road fats are sixteen

792
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:05,359
Speaker 2: and two against the spread the last few weeks. And

793
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:10,880
Speaker 2: this is a very very simple math. Jaden Daniels isn't playing,

794
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:13,719
Speaker 2: and Marcus Mariota is not going to be able to

795
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:17,480
Speaker 2: duplicate what he did to Carolina, that Chicago defense is

796
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 2: going to get after Mariota, that Mariota is not an

797
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:26,880
Speaker 2: NFL starting caliber quarterback, Chicago off of by huge spot

798
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:31,840
Speaker 2: bad defense in Washington, and Washington star young quarterback's not

799
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 2: going to be playing. The Bears are winning this game,

800
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 2: and they're winning this game by more than a field goal.

801
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:43,760
Speaker 2: And so I now, if Jaden plays, I would feel

802
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:48,960
Speaker 2: totally differently. But this line says Vegas does not think

803
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:51,880
Speaker 2: Jaden is playing. The Bears would not be two and

804
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 2: a half point road favorites against Chicago if Jaden were playing.

805
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:58,799
Speaker 2: In fact, I think i'm the Bears not be two

806
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:00,719
Speaker 2: and a half road favorites against one Washington if Jade

807
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 2: were playing. In fact, I think it would be Washington

808
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 2: by two instead of Chicago by two. And a half.

809
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 3: So actually flexing this game to like a different time slot,

810
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:11,759
Speaker 3: and now it's gonna be.

811
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:14,799
Speaker 2: It was gonna be a yeah, it's a bummer. It

812
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:18,840
Speaker 2: was gonna be just the regular one o'clock game with

813
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 2: I think Cincinnati, uh, Philadelphia being the marquee CBS game

814
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 2: with Nanson Romo. They flexed this one, and now that's

815
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:34,839
Speaker 2: kind of a bummer for CBS now Nanson Romo if

816
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:39,400
Speaker 2: Jayden doesn't play. But yeah, that is exactly what happened.

817
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 2: All right, So my five picks for the week, after

818
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:45,319
Speaker 2: nine of my last ten picks had been underdogs, we

819
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 2: have three favorites Atlanta Road favorite of two and a

820
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:51,160
Speaker 2: half at Tampa, Chicago Road favorite of two and a

821
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:54,120
Speaker 2: half at Washington, Green Bay Road favorite of four at Jacksonville.

822
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 2: And then two big dogs, New Orleans plus seven at

823
00:52:56,960 --> 00:53:00,400
Speaker 2: the Chargers and Cleveland plus eight and a half half

824
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:06,280
Speaker 2: at Baltimore. All right, Demons, you have four straight winning teasers,

825
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 2: two that we haven't yet. You know that since we

826
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:12,160
Speaker 2: weren't on the air last week two weeks ago. Your

827
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 2: teaser Houston plus a half point at New England, they

828
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 2: blew them out. Washington plus fourteen at Baltimore. They were

829
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 2: in it the whole game. They ended up losing by seven.

830
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:26,960
Speaker 2: A plus teaser, my friend, that's a great one. And

831
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:30,440
Speaker 2: then last week, you want to talk us through last weeks.

832
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:32,680
Speaker 3: It was a two team seven and a half point teaser.

833
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:36,279
Speaker 3: I cheezed the I tease the Chiefs up to nine

834
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:40,439
Speaker 3: against San Francisco and Houston up to plus ten at

835
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:43,800
Speaker 3: Green Bay, and those both worked out pretty well.

836
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:48,800
Speaker 2: Easy way. And both of those were covering the whole time. Yeah,

837
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:51,480
Speaker 2: both of those were covering the entire time. So what

838
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:52,799
Speaker 2: are we looking at this week?

839
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 3: So this week it's a two teamy seven point teaser

840
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:57,040
Speaker 3: at minus one four.

841
00:53:57,080 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 2: Roll not seven and a half. You're going away from

842
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:00,959
Speaker 2: seven and a half point.

843
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,640
Speaker 3: The only reason I the only reason I ever go

844
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:05,840
Speaker 3: to the half point is just to if it's like

845
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:07,080
Speaker 3: thirteen and a half to get.

846
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,279
Speaker 2: To fourteen numbers, yeah, or whatever it may be.

847
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:12,840
Speaker 3: But yeah, So, I mean, this week we're teasing Cleveland

848
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:16,080
Speaker 3: up to plus fifteen and a half against Baltimore, and

849
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:19,800
Speaker 3: I'm teasing the Chiefs down to minus two and a

850
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 3: half at the Raiders. And I had some other teasers

851
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:29,560
Speaker 3: in mine here that were a little chippy but you know,

852
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:32,759
Speaker 3: I went through the process a little bit long, a

853
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:34,680
Speaker 3: little bit longer, and this is what I came up with,

854
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:37,560
Speaker 3: And yeah, I think this will cash. I like this

855
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 3: one a lot.

856
00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:40,400
Speaker 2: Can I tell you something.

857
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 3: A plus A plus? I don't think I mean a plus.

858
00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:46,879
Speaker 3: It is week one.

859
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 2: Getting the Chiefs down to two and a half is perfect,

860
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:56,880
Speaker 2: and getting Cleveland up through not only fourteen, but fifteen

861
00:54:56,920 --> 00:55:00,880
Speaker 2: as well, which has become a slightly not a but

862
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:04,240
Speaker 2: because two point conversions being more prevalent, it's a little

863
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:06,920
Speaker 2: more important than it used to be. I love this,

864
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 2: I love, love, love this teaser, and I also love

865
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:14,840
Speaker 2: that you didn't I was worried you were gonna tease

866
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:15,360
Speaker 2: the Jets.

867
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:19,400
Speaker 3: Hold on. So yeah, so I actually didn't hear what

868
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:21,960
Speaker 3: you said for like the last five seconds. I'm sorry.

869
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:24,279
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I was saying I love the teaser. I

870
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:26,879
Speaker 2: think you did great, and I but I was I

871
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 2: was worried you were gonna tease the Jets, because the

872
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 2: Jets the Jets from minus seven just to straight up

873
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:35,879
Speaker 2: beat the Patriots. Problem is no, and I think patri

874
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:38,440
Speaker 2: are the worst team in the league. But until the

875
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:41,480
Speaker 2: Jets win a game, they can lose to anybody. I

876
00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:45,000
Speaker 2: know that sounds, but I'm like, I just wouldn't want

877
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:48,440
Speaker 2: the Jets to involve. So I love this teaser. I

878
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:50,920
Speaker 2: think this is a sharp teaser. All right, let's do

879
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:54,200
Speaker 2: touchdown Jeanie real quick before we answer some questions.

880
00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:57,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we're taking a break off the offer to

881
00:55:57,320 --> 00:56:01,839
Speaker 3: reassess the process TM. In the meantime, let's bring back

882
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:05,880
Speaker 3: out the touchdown Jeanie. So, who's scoring a touchdown this week?

883
00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:10,680
Speaker 3: Between or not between? We got Kansas City Hopkins? No, no, no,

884
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:13,080
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. You go ahead and pick your anytime touchdown score.

885
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:13,640
Speaker 3: I forgotten.

886
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:17,800
Speaker 2: So the the earfine. The options are Hopkins plus one sixty,

887
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:21,399
Speaker 2: Kelsey plus one oh five, Xavier Worthy plus one sixty five.

888
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:24,240
Speaker 2: This is the week Travis Kelce gets in the end zone.

889
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:35,800
Speaker 2: Uh and so that the god dog it. That's so annoying.

890
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:36,440
Speaker 3: What happened?

891
00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:40,440
Speaker 2: Sorry, nothing, I'll I'll tell you in a minute. Uh

892
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:46,440
Speaker 2: So Kelsey is Kelsey is my bet? There, Kelsey would

893
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:49,320
Speaker 2: be my bet. I think he's gonna score. He kills

894
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:52,040
Speaker 2: the Raiders. He scored four one game against the Raiders.

895
00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 2: He had seven catches for twenty six yards and four touchdowns.

896
00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:02,080
Speaker 2: Seven catches twenty six yards four touchdowns. That picture of

897
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:05,120
Speaker 2: me and Kelsey celebrating the Super Bowl two years ago

898
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:09,240
Speaker 2: after the parade in the club where it says al

899
00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:12,880
Speaker 2: F and Bundy. He got that nickname because of that game,

900
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 2: because al Bondi once scored four touchdowns for Poul Kai.

901
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:19,400
Speaker 2: It was an old marriage with children thing, and so

902
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:22,080
Speaker 2: he would always talk about it, and Kelsey scored four touchdowns.

903
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:25,400
Speaker 2: So I'll just take Kelsey plus one oh five. All right,

904
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:28,200
Speaker 2: quick break, answer some of your questions. Next, What's right?

Speaker 3: Jeff Bergstorm or Bergstrom, a podcaster is never late, nor

00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:29,200
Speaker 3: is the early. Here arrives precisely when he means to.

935
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:34,160
Speaker 2: That's a well done turn of phrase, Jeff. Listen, and

936
00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:37,000
Speaker 2: our producer Matt says, that's correct, and it's not because

937
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:39,320
Speaker 2: our computer malfunction. Right Bruin over there.

938
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:44,680
Speaker 3: Next, Eric, who says, question from a TV from a

939
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:47,400
Speaker 3: TV product perspective, what do you think is the difference

940
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:53,520
Speaker 3: from the Dynasty Warriors, which were super popular in Missoula ball? Oh?

941
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:57,040
Speaker 2: So, I so, listen, I don't think people understand the

942
00:59:57,120 --> 01:00:02,560
Speaker 2: volume of threes I'm talking about, Okay, the Warriors, the

943
01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen Warriors, for the record, not only did they

944
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:11,000
Speaker 2: not shoot the most threes in the league, they were

945
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:17,360
Speaker 2: below average in three point attempts per game. Right at it,

946
01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:20,280
Speaker 2: they were twenty nine a game, which was sixteenth in

947
01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:24,000
Speaker 2: the league. The Rockets were far and away the most

948
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:26,520
Speaker 2: at forty two a game. So this is what I'm

949
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:29,720
Speaker 2: talking about, Okay. In twenty eighteen the most in the

950
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 2: league were Rockets with twenty eight with forty two a game,

951
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:35,919
Speaker 2: And that was when I asked Daryl about it. The

952
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:40,400
Speaker 2: previous year, the highest was the Rockets at forty. Number

953
01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:45,760
Speaker 2: two was thirty three. Okay, so seven years ago one

954
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:49,080
Speaker 2: team took more than thirty four to threes a game.

955
01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:54,600
Speaker 2: All right, Now, let's jump ahead to last year and

956
01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 2: I can pull it up for you right now. So

957
01:00:57,600 --> 01:01:00,880
Speaker 2: and keep in mind those Dynastic Warriors were shoot but

958
01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:04,120
Speaker 2: seven years ago one team shot more than thirty four

959
01:01:04,200 --> 01:01:07,959
Speaker 2: threes a game. Last year, Demansey, you know how many

960
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 2: teams shot more than thirty four threes a game? Seventeen

961
01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:18,280
Speaker 2: seventeen teams. So it's just the game has just changed

962
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:25,920
Speaker 2: and so massively, and again through one game this year

963
01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:31,080
Speaker 2: we had we've had seven of the twenty four teams

964
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:34,760
Speaker 2: that have played shot more than forty threes in their

965
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:37,600
Speaker 2: opening night. I just don't think it's good for So

966
01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:40,560
Speaker 2: it's not about the Celtics. It's about this. The Celtics

967
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:43,840
Speaker 2: are the best team and right now they're playing mathematically

968
01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:48,880
Speaker 2: the smartest, so the only chance anyone's going to have

969
01:01:49,600 --> 01:01:52,320
Speaker 2: is to do the same thing. And it's just like

970
01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:55,520
Speaker 2: it's just not good for the sport. I know, I'm right,

971
01:01:56,520 --> 01:01:56,919
Speaker 2: all right.

972
01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:02,400
Speaker 3: Next uh, Steven Weather says, who in the year with

973
01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:05,400
Speaker 3: more wins Demonse's teasers or Trevor.

974
01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:10,880
Speaker 2: Lawrence Monse's teasers. Yeah, I was about to say these teasers.

975
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:14,160
Speaker 2: I mean, there's no question about it.

976
01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:21,240
Speaker 3: Justin next week. Next week, got Scott Frasier. What does

977
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:23,760
Speaker 3: Buffalo need to at least have a chance to get

978
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:27,800
Speaker 3: past Kansas City or Baltimore this year? Cooper was a start?

979
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:29,040
Speaker 3: What else do they need?

980
01:02:32,840 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 2: I listen, Buffalo has a chance. They have a chance.

981
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:40,400
Speaker 2: I don't think there's more that that they are gonna

982
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 2: be able to add. They're just listen. They're gonna need

983
01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:45,000
Speaker 2: Josh Allen to have the game of his life in

984
01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:48,480
Speaker 2: January and for the Chiefs to stumble like I'm the

985
01:02:48,840 --> 01:02:50,920
Speaker 2: Chiefs Bills thing they play in a month. We can

986
01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:55,960
Speaker 2: talk about it more there and then the Ryan Fitzgerald

987
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:58,000
Speaker 2: has an interesting question, So go ahead.

988
01:02:58,560 --> 01:03:01,000
Speaker 3: Are the Bucks more likely to make the Eastern Conference

989
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:02,720
Speaker 3: finals or miss the playoffs?

990
01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:05,520
Speaker 2: Make the I mean, listen, I don't think they're I

991
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:07,960
Speaker 2: don't think they're gonna make these reference finals, but you're

992
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:10,560
Speaker 2: not missing the playoffs with a healthy honest, So the

993
01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:17,360
Speaker 2: answer is make the conference. He did a weird thing,

994
01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:20,640
Speaker 2: which wherever weird, Yeah, we don't win the championship, they

995
01:03:20,720 --> 01:03:23,360
Speaker 2: might get rid of me. It's like nobody. I mean,

996
01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:25,440
Speaker 2: I feel like that's you letting them know if they

997
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:27,840
Speaker 2: don't win a championship, you might want to leave. We'd

998
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:31,160
Speaker 2: weird spots. That's a that's another one of the prongs
