<v Speaker 2>in a row. He's twenty seven to eight documented, not

0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:07.039
<v Speaker 2>documented on this show, but documented by the great people

0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:11.120
<v Speaker 2>at CBS Sports Pick them against the spread. He's crushing

0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:16.080
<v Speaker 2>all professional handicappers. Uh, life is good. Yeah, the Chiefs

0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:18.399
<v Speaker 2>gonna get revenge on the Raiders, the last team to

0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:20.520
<v Speaker 2>beat them, the team to mock them with the karmas stuff.

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:23.399
<v Speaker 2>DeAndre Hopkins on the team. We have all this, we

0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:26.280
<v Speaker 2>have a new sponsor, million things to do. Let's get

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:29.480
<v Speaker 2>right to it. Here's what missed the cut, Demanse. Bobby

0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:32.600
<v Speaker 2>Sala at the green Bay practice, gonna join the staff

0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:35.440
<v Speaker 2>in a consulting role. Sharp move by green Bay to

0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:39.440
<v Speaker 2>get him and to prevent San Francisco from getting him.

0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:43.600
<v Speaker 2>A little double dip. Bryce Young is gonna start at Denver,

0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:46.320
<v Speaker 2>which has led to one of the most It's not

0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:49.320
<v Speaker 2>one of my picks, but it is a jaw dropping

0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:55.480
<v Speaker 2>point spread because the Denver Broncos. Did you look at this?

0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:57.160
<v Speaker 2>Do you know off the top of your head, Demanse,

0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:00.400
<v Speaker 2>what the Panthers at Bronco goes?

0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 3>What the line is the Panthers? You know me, not

0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:06.680
<v Speaker 3>the Panthers, the Broncos their favorite. I can't remember about

0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:07.880
<v Speaker 3>how many? Is it like seven?

0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:16.040
<v Speaker 2>Ten bicks? Bow Knicks ten point favorite. If you'd asked

0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:18.720
<v Speaker 2>me before the year, what would need to happen for

0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:22.919
<v Speaker 2>bow Knicks to be a ten point favorite going into

0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:24.679
<v Speaker 2>a football game? I don't know what my answer would

0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:27.079
<v Speaker 2>have been, evidently it's played the Panthers and Bryce Young's

0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:31.040
<v Speaker 2>return and Brandon Aubrey, the best player on the Cowboys

0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:33.800
<v Speaker 2>right now, They're kicker is missing practice this week for

0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:36.760
<v Speaker 2>jury duty. So how about that all right? Before we

0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:41.800
<v Speaker 2>get to football, I have a rant demonse because the

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:49.600
<v Speaker 2>NBA started this week and for the majority of my life,

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:53.360
<v Speaker 2>had you asked me what my favorite sport is, I

0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:57.720
<v Speaker 2>would have said the NBA by a significant margin. Over

0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:03.560
<v Speaker 2>the last the last decade, and really since my team

0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:08.720
<v Speaker 2>drafted and nurtured and you know, played the greatest player

0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:12.280
<v Speaker 2>to ever play in the NFL, the NFL has risen

0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:14.880
<v Speaker 2>to where if you'd asked me two years ago, I

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:18.560
<v Speaker 2>would have said they're dead. Even NFL and NBA tat

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:22.239
<v Speaker 2>like my favorite days or NFL Sundays. My favorite time

0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:27.320
<v Speaker 2>of year is NBA playoffs, And over the last couple

0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:31.200
<v Speaker 2>of years, the NFL has ascended past the NBA, but

0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:33.600
<v Speaker 2>the NBA is still a very strong number two for

0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:39.960
<v Speaker 2>me personally. And then this year's opening Night, and I

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:43.240
<v Speaker 2>just didn't feel the juice, but I'm like, it's the

0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:45.680
<v Speaker 2>opening night, I want to watch it. And then I

0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:49.000
<v Speaker 2>watched the Celtics shoot sixty threes, and then I saw

0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:54.920
<v Speaker 2>that Joel Embiid was out already, and Zion is out already,

0:03:55.040 --> 0:04:03.160
<v Speaker 2>and Kawhi is out still, and here's the rant or

0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:08.400
<v Speaker 2>the warning or whatever. About five years ago, I hosted

0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:13.840
<v Speaker 2>a panel at Sloan, the sports analytics conference that Darryl Morey,

0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:17.760
<v Speaker 2>my pal among others, were a part of, and I

0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:22.840
<v Speaker 2>asked Darryl what I think is a thoughtful question, which is,

0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:29.960
<v Speaker 2>how do you try as a league to serve multiple

0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:35.920
<v Speaker 2>masters in this regard. The reason NBA guys can make

0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:41.760
<v Speaker 2>sixty million dollars a year, the reason gms like Daryl

0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:45.640
<v Speaker 2>can make well into the seven some into the eight

0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:52.440
<v Speaker 2>figures a year, is because the NBA is a super

0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:58.479
<v Speaker 2>popular television product. That's it. It is because all of

0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:01.359
<v Speaker 2>the money is general rated by the fact that it

0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:05.200
<v Speaker 2>is an entertainment product that people value in a way

0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:09.680
<v Speaker 2>They don't currently value hockey, and they don't value any

0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:13.360
<v Speaker 2>of the you know, go down a few levels, you know, uh,

0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:19.160
<v Speaker 2>Ultimate Frisbee, and they don't value paddle or padel or

0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:24.279
<v Speaker 2>whatever it's called, like they're all sports. But in this country,

0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:28.480
<v Speaker 2>the NFL is king and the Prince is the NBA

0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:33.280
<v Speaker 2>and then Major League Baseball. And so what I asked

0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:41.560
<v Speaker 2>him was, what if the best way to win starts

0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:47.800
<v Speaker 2>to conflict with creating the best television product, Because it

0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:52.479
<v Speaker 2>is his job to create a winner, but it is

0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:57.239
<v Speaker 2>the league's job to maintain popularity. And if the best

0:05:57.279 --> 0:06:01.080
<v Speaker 2>way to create a winner makes the league less popular,

0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.400
<v Speaker 2>then what are we actually doing? Because yeah, people want

0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:07.200
<v Speaker 2>to win, and they want championships, but the reason they

0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:10.240
<v Speaker 2>want one of the reasons they wanted is because what

0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:14.240
<v Speaker 2>goes along with that is incredible wealth and riches. But

0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:16.880
<v Speaker 2>if the league becomes less and less popular, there's less

0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:19.040
<v Speaker 2>and less money, and then all of a sudden, running

0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:21.440
<v Speaker 2>a basketball team is not as good of the gig

0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:23.800
<v Speaker 2>as it once was. Being an NBA star is not

0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:26.800
<v Speaker 2>as good of the gig as it once was. And

0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:29.800
<v Speaker 2>his answer was, listen, my job is to look at

0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:33.200
<v Speaker 2>the rules and create the best chance of winning possible.

0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:35.440
<v Speaker 2>If the league needs to change the rules, so be it.

0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:38.719
<v Speaker 2>And I'm here to tell you the league needs to

0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:43.320
<v Speaker 2>change some rules similar to what Baseball did with the

0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:49.720
<v Speaker 2>shift and the pitch clock and paid immediate dividends. If

0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:54.480
<v Speaker 2>your customer is telling you the product is getting worse

0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:58.400
<v Speaker 2>even though the talent is getting better. Then you need

0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:02.839
<v Speaker 2>to adjust. And the NBA, in my opinion, has do

0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:08.600
<v Speaker 2>as two not quite existential crises going on, but they

0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:12.160
<v Speaker 2>could become that. The first one is this, it took

0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:15.640
<v Speaker 2>teams and players and coaches a long time to figure

0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:19.160
<v Speaker 2>it out, but they have finally figured out. It's not

0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:22.680
<v Speaker 2>only that three is worth more than two, it's that

0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:27.640
<v Speaker 2>three is worth a lot more than two because there

0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:31.400
<v Speaker 2>is a fifty percent premium on three point shots. The

0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:35.280
<v Speaker 2>smart way to play is probably what the Celtics did

0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:40.240
<v Speaker 2>on opening night, shoot sixty of them things. Have it

0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:43.880
<v Speaker 2>be your entire offense aside from dunks and free throws.

0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:49.360
<v Speaker 2>That is the best strategy. That is also terrible television.

0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:55.880
<v Speaker 2>The other thing the league or teams have decided is ah,

0:07:55.960 --> 0:08:01.600
<v Speaker 2>the regular season doesn't really matter. All that matters is

0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:07.120
<v Speaker 2>peak playoff performance because we're judged on championships. But you

0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:11.160
<v Speaker 2>know who, it does matter to your customer and telling

0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:15.840
<v Speaker 2>your customer going into day one of the season, Zion's

0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:19.440
<v Speaker 2>not ready, Embid's not ready. Who knows when KWHI is

0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:21.720
<v Speaker 2>going to be ready? Embiid coming out and saying we're

0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:26.160
<v Speaker 2>not playing back to backs. You're alienating your customers flatly.

0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:30.640
<v Speaker 2>And I love the league. I love it, but this

0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:35.760
<v Speaker 2>shit is not sustainable. And this is where you need

0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:39.600
<v Speaker 2>a wartime conciliarity in Adam Silver, and if he isn't one,

0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:42.480
<v Speaker 2>they need to find someone to assist him with it.

0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:48.840
<v Speaker 2>To make major structural shifts to the league. The simplest

0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:52.720
<v Speaker 2>way to fix the threes problem is to change the scoring,

0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:55.080
<v Speaker 2>but they'd never do it because all the records would

0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:58.120
<v Speaker 2>be thrown out if it was fours and threes instead

0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:01.600
<v Speaker 2>of threes and twos. It ends instantly, fixes it because

0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:03.880
<v Speaker 2>then there's a thirty three percent premium instead of a

0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:07.440
<v Speaker 2>fifty percent premium. But that's not gonna happen, so you

0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:10.920
<v Speaker 2>need to adjust. You need to adjust by doing the

0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:15.120
<v Speaker 2>Hollandering idea. Was it Hollinger or is it No, it's

0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:21.960
<v Speaker 2>not Hollander, it's the cartographer Goldsbury idea, which is have

0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:25.320
<v Speaker 2>the three point arc truly be an arc, meaning it

0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:27.800
<v Speaker 2>never flattens out and you get rid of the corner threes.

0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:31.600
<v Speaker 2>I also think you could do something super radical and

0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:34.120
<v Speaker 2>be like, hey, guess what, you know what's also worth

0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:39.600
<v Speaker 2>three points dunks? I know this sounds insane guys. But

0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:43.760
<v Speaker 2>at its core, the NBA is at its best when

0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:47.280
<v Speaker 2>dudes are flying over people meeting them at the rim.

0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:50.920
<v Speaker 2>That is when it's at its best television product. A

0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:54.880
<v Speaker 2>bunch of finesse guys hanging out at the three point

0:09:54.920 --> 0:10:00.880
<v Speaker 2>line hoisting thirty footers is not good TV and everybody,

0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:07.319
<v Speaker 2>everybody is damaged. If the TV numbers, if the ratings,

0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:11.800
<v Speaker 2>if the interest goes down, you are not lifetime entitled

0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:17.360
<v Speaker 2>to a top spot in the American consciousness. Ask boxing,

0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:22.560
<v Speaker 2>ask horse racing, as baseball, post strike, as hockey anytime

0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:27.120
<v Speaker 2>in the last thirty years. You're not guaranteed it, and

0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:31.400
<v Speaker 2>you are going down a path where the games are

0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:36.040
<v Speaker 2>less compelling television and the fans are worried, do the

0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:41.880
<v Speaker 2>players even care? And so, and also the load management

0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:45.840
<v Speaker 2>issue of it. We need some evidence that it works.

0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:49.920
<v Speaker 2>If you're gonna do it, I haven't seen it. I

0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:53.120
<v Speaker 2>haven't seen a drastic reduction in injuries. I haven't seen

0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:57.200
<v Speaker 2>guys all of a sudden being of so much fresher

0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:59.680
<v Speaker 2>come the postseason. It's not what I see. I see

0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:01.839
<v Speaker 2>the guy who take time off in the regular season

0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:04.880
<v Speaker 2>because of injury are still just as injured in the postseason.

0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:08.960
<v Speaker 2>And so it's just a warning to a league I love,

0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:15.880
<v Speaker 2>you are playing a dangerous, dangerous game. And this is

0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:18.120
<v Speaker 2>you know what, demons before we move on to football.

0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:22.880
<v Speaker 2>This is a first cousin of take my tush push

0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:29.640
<v Speaker 2>take yeah, which is be like, be careful TV, and

0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:33.200
<v Speaker 2>also don't let it get too good. Like the best

0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:35.240
<v Speaker 2>thing that ever happened to the not the best thing

0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:37.120
<v Speaker 2>that ever happened, but a really good thing that happened

0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:40.920
<v Speaker 2>for the NFL is that the Eagles never figured out

0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:42.839
<v Speaker 2>how to get four yards a pop out of that,

0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:45.920
<v Speaker 2>because if they did, they should run at every single

0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:49.640
<v Speaker 2>play and they would win. And Howie Roseman and Nick

0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:52.160
<v Speaker 2>Sirian and be like, our job is to win, and

0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:54.160
<v Speaker 2>yet it is. But it's the league job to make

0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:57.920
<v Speaker 2>sure people want to watch what you're doing and that

0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:00.480
<v Speaker 2>And this is not an anti Celtics thing. I'm not

0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:03.320
<v Speaker 2>saying it because the Celtics shot sixty. And I brought

0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:05.440
<v Speaker 2>up Darryl Mory because he kind of got this train

0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:11.199
<v Speaker 2>rolling with Houston a decade ago. But it's a dangerous precedent, y'all,

0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:13.920
<v Speaker 2>and it's bad for the league. I'm just telling you,

0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:20.040
<v Speaker 2>flat out. The NFL, to their credit, has no problem

0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:25.920
<v Speaker 2>being like, oh, our customers like offense. We are changing

0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:28.719
<v Speaker 2>the rules to make it easier to play offense, and

0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:33.560
<v Speaker 2>we'll keep changing them. Our customers hate when quarterbacks get hurt,

0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:37.320
<v Speaker 2>so we're gonna make it damn near impossible to sack

0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:42.280
<v Speaker 2>the quarterback violently without getting a penalty like the baseball.

0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:43.640
<v Speaker 2>It took them a long time and then they're like,

0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:47.360
<v Speaker 2>you know what the shift to effective. Guess what new

0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:51.600
<v Speaker 2>rules can't do it? Sorry? Sorry, Oh you were all

0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:54.440
<v Speaker 2>these things. You have to be ready, willing and able

0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:57.280
<v Speaker 2>to adjust. All right, there's my NBA rant. Now we

0:12:57.320 --> 0:12:59.120
<v Speaker 2>can get to football, demons. Go ahead?

0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:00.320
<v Speaker 3>Was off fair?

0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:00.800
<v Speaker 2>Uh?

0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:03.520
<v Speaker 3>So your chiefs finally made a move for a big

0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:07.120
<v Speaker 3>name of my receiver in DeAndre Hopkins. Now he's not

0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:09.360
<v Speaker 3>the player that he was when he was whack with Houston.

0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:12.440
<v Speaker 3>But do you think that the hop can save us

0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:16.719
<v Speaker 3>struggling Patrick Mahomes willby Mahomes saving DeAndre Hopkins.

0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:19.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I don't think anyone, either one of them needs saving.

0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:26.000
<v Speaker 2>But I do think that this is a valuable addition,

0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:31.400
<v Speaker 2>and there's a lot of layers to it. First, let

0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:34.480
<v Speaker 2>me actually talk from Hopkins perspective. You know how many

0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:38.480
<v Speaker 2>quarterbacks DeAndre Hopkins demand has caught a pass from drafted

0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:41.400
<v Speaker 2>the same year as Kelsey. So this is year twelve

0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:44.120
<v Speaker 2>for him. Drafted in twenty thirteen. Give it a guess

0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:45.079
<v Speaker 2>how many quarterbacks?

0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:46.880
<v Speaker 3>Seven? Six or seven?

0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:56.040
<v Speaker 2>You're close. Seventeen. He has caught a pass from seventeen quarterbacks. Okay,

0:13:57.040 --> 0:14:01.079
<v Speaker 2>So like I. DeAndre Hopkins, who is an all timer,

0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:04.040
<v Speaker 2>five time All Pro, three time first team All Pro,

0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:08.600
<v Speaker 2>he has caught passes from the f In his Houston

0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:14.920
<v Speaker 2>days before Deshaun Watson got there, he had Brandon Whedon,

0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:21.880
<v Speaker 2>Case Keenum, Ryan Mallet who passed away, Matt schaub tj Yates,

0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:26.600
<v Speaker 2>Brock Osweiler, Brian Hoyer. Those are his quarterbacks before Deshaun.

0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:30.640
<v Speaker 2>They then get to Shawn. He gets thirty eight games

0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:35.400
<v Speaker 2>with Deshaun and they're awesome together. He then goes to Arizona.

0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:40.840
<v Speaker 2>They have Kyler Murray. They have thirty games together, pretty good.

0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:45.160
<v Speaker 2>Kyler gets hurt with Arizona. He then gets Colt McCoy,

0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:49.520
<v Speaker 2>Trace McSorley, and Chris Streveler. He then signs with the

0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:57.960
<v Speaker 2>Titans and gets Ryan Tannehill, Will Levis Mason Rudolph And

0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:00.640
<v Speaker 2>there's one other quarterback that I'm leaving out, but that's

0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:02.760
<v Speaker 2>all right. That's those are his.

0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:06.840
<v Speaker 3>Quarterable Johan Deshaun Watson Houston was the best quarterback of all.

0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:14.240
<v Speaker 2>Those by a mile, by a mile. And so, oh,

0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:15.400
<v Speaker 2>it's as bad as it gets.

0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:18.760
<v Speaker 3>Man Malik Willis. Maybe, Oh it's Malik Willis. Alink is

0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:19.960
<v Speaker 3>that the name he left?

0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:24.160
<v Speaker 2>No, because Malik Willis never threw him up the Malik.

0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:28.600
<v Speaker 2>He never caught a pass from Malik Willis. He has Malik.

0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:32.720
<v Speaker 2>There are two people, not all of the seventeen. They're

0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:36.160
<v Speaker 2>nineteen people have thrown him a pass. He's caught one

0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:38.960
<v Speaker 2>from seventeen. The two have thrown him a pass they

0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:41.520
<v Speaker 2>didn't catch one from Is Malik Willis and Derrick Henry

0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:44.920
<v Speaker 2>h oo for two one targets by those two guys.

0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:49.600
<v Speaker 2>So for d Hop this is an oasis in the

0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:57.160
<v Speaker 2>quarterback desert. And it's a really cool deal that it's

0:15:57.200 --> 0:15:59.480
<v Speaker 2>not like a make a wish thing, but there is

0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:02.320
<v Speaker 2>a cool thing that happens every year in the NFL

0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:04.880
<v Speaker 2>that I don't know why he doesn't get talked about more.

0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:09.920
<v Speaker 2>Which is the pre eminent dynasty with the best quarterback

0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:14.080
<v Speaker 2>we've ever seen. Once a year surveys the landscape and says,

0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:18.680
<v Speaker 2>who can we save and cup and who can we

0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:21.400
<v Speaker 2>give a new lease on their career? That's with a

0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:26.000
<v Speaker 2>terrible quarterback situation, dysfunctional franchise. And two years ago they're like,

0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:30.920
<v Speaker 2>you know what, young Djoka Kadarius Tony, come on down

0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:34.200
<v Speaker 2>to a real organization, learn to play football with the

0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:37.680
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs and play your cards right, you get to score

0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:40.400
<v Speaker 2>a touchdown in the Super Bowl. And he's like, okay, deal,

0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:42.960
<v Speaker 2>and he did and they did. And then the next

0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:46.520
<v Speaker 2>year they look at the landscape again, who can we save,

0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:49.440
<v Speaker 2>old friend mccol hardman, We get you out of the

0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:53.400
<v Speaker 2>Jets dysfunction. Come on down and guess what, you'll get

0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:55.560
<v Speaker 2>to score a touchdown in the Super Bowl. And this

0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:58.840
<v Speaker 2>year it's DeAndre Hopkins. Look around. You know what, will

0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:02.200
<v Speaker 2>Levis Mason come on to Kansas City and in a

0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:04.560
<v Speaker 2>few months DeAndre will get to score a touchdown in

0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:08.320
<v Speaker 2>the Super Bowl. It'll be great for all parties involved. Now,

0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:12.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, I don't love old receivers. And he's thirty two,

0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:17.080
<v Speaker 2>which is why one of the reasons the Chiefs are

0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:18.840
<v Speaker 2>the Chiefs is because they didn't give up a third

0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:23.119
<v Speaker 2>round pick for DeVante Adams a third round pick for

0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:26.920
<v Speaker 2>Amari Cooper. They gave up a fifth round pick and

0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:31.640
<v Speaker 2>Tennessee's picking up half the money for DeAndre Hopkins. And

0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:35.480
<v Speaker 2>what Hopkins will do is play the exact role Rashi

0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:38.399
<v Speaker 2>Rice was playing. He won't be as good after the catch,

0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:41.920
<v Speaker 2>but it'll be excellent at the catch point. The slot receiver.

0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:45.639
<v Speaker 2>That'll be a Mahomes third down guy, and it'll work.

0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:49.879
<v Speaker 2>It just flatly will work. Do I think the Chiefs

0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:55.880
<v Speaker 2>would have been fine anyways? But this is minimal cost,

0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:59.639
<v Speaker 2>not super high upside, but a little upside. Just like

0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:03.360
<v Speaker 2>I really liked the Amari Cooper moved for the Bills.

0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:07.960
<v Speaker 2>I like this move for the Chiefs. I wouldn't I

0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:11.639
<v Speaker 2>there was rumors that, oh, the Rams want a second

0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:15.160
<v Speaker 2>round pick for Cooper cup I would not have wanted that.

0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:17.520
<v Speaker 2>That's too eye of a price. And Cooper, even though

0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:20.919
<v Speaker 2>he's a great player, his ankles might be shot his

0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:24.400
<v Speaker 2>injury stuff. It's less of an injury concern with DeAndre Hopkins,

0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:26.960
<v Speaker 2>and he's just gonna be a reliable third down target.

0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:33.560
<v Speaker 3>So isn't it like kind of wild? Like what's at

0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:35.840
<v Speaker 3>stake for the Chiefs they give up the hop for

0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:39.720
<v Speaker 3>a fifth rounder, conditional fourth. It's like, I don't.

0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:41.200
<v Speaker 2>Know, well, and by the way, you know what I'm

0:18:41.880 --> 0:18:44.119
<v Speaker 2>so a couple of things. One is, I'm glad you

0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:46.960
<v Speaker 2>mentioned the conditional fourth part of it because I called

0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:49.359
<v Speaker 2>it a fifth rounder. I really should call it a

0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:51.960
<v Speaker 2>fourth rounder because the condition is the Chiefs make the

0:18:52.000 --> 0:18:55.480
<v Speaker 2>Super Bowl, and obviously they're going to, so it'll end

0:18:55.600 --> 0:18:58.640
<v Speaker 2>up being a fourth round pick. I don't think there

0:18:58.720 --> 0:19:01.800
<v Speaker 2>was a I don't think there was a huge market.

0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:07.199
<v Speaker 2>And I also think that while the rest of the league,

0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:09.000
<v Speaker 2>like there's been a lot of reports that teams don't

0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:10.920
<v Speaker 2>want to help the Chiefs threepete and there's you know,

0:19:10.960 --> 0:19:13.280
<v Speaker 2>the Chiefs got to pay a premium on this stuff.

0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:19.320
<v Speaker 2>The Chiefs and Titans did business this summer. The Chiefs

0:19:19.359 --> 0:19:23.480
<v Speaker 2>traded lugerious sneed to Tennessee. So there is a relationship there,

0:19:23.840 --> 0:19:26.479
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean. And maybe I'm not sure,

0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:31.040
<v Speaker 2>but I do wonder. I do wonder. I don't know

0:19:31.160 --> 0:19:36.880
<v Speaker 2>this at all raw naked speculation. I wonder if when

0:19:36.960 --> 0:19:41.520
<v Speaker 2>Brett Veach was negotiating the trade with Tennessee and Brett

0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:44.400
<v Speaker 2>said I want X, and Tennessee said, well, how about why,

0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:47.080
<v Speaker 2>and then they're going through it. If he brought up

0:19:47.080 --> 0:19:52.240
<v Speaker 2>to him, hey, all right, we wanted an extra sixth

0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:57.840
<v Speaker 2>round pick in this deal. But never no, you will

0:19:57.880 --> 0:20:01.679
<v Speaker 2>take your guys last best off, or keep that in

0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:04.919
<v Speaker 2>mind if at some point this year you decide you

0:20:05.000 --> 0:20:09.720
<v Speaker 2>want to be sellers. In regards to DeAndre Hopkins, because

0:20:09.760 --> 0:20:12.040
<v Speaker 2>Hopkins had looked at the Chiefs a couple of years ago.

0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:14.000
<v Speaker 2>I think there were a lot of us that going

0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:15.879
<v Speaker 2>into the year were like, man, Tennessee's not gonna be

0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:18.200
<v Speaker 2>as good as they think they're gonna be. You know,

0:20:18.520 --> 0:20:22.200
<v Speaker 2>that's a guy on this very show. I said his name.

0:20:22.240 --> 0:20:24.000
<v Speaker 2>He was one of the first names I listed because

0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:26.320
<v Speaker 2>I didn't think he'd be that expensive from a draft

0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:29.920
<v Speaker 2>or salary compensation. So those relationships do matter, and those

0:20:29.960 --> 0:20:32.920
<v Speaker 2>relationships are good, and I expect demonse and you have

0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:36.720
<v Speaker 2>to follow up to see DeAndre in a few packages

0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:39.240
<v Speaker 2>on the field this Sunday against the Raiders.

0:20:41.400 --> 0:20:44.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. So, I mean the Raiders are the most recent

0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:47.320
<v Speaker 3>team to beat the Chiefs, and they also took the

0:20:47.359 --> 0:20:51.080
<v Speaker 3>offseason to mock Patrick Mahomes with the whole Kermit the

0:20:51.119 --> 0:20:53.679
<v Speaker 3>Frock thing. So what do you think Patrick Mahomes and

0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:55.400
<v Speaker 3>the Chiefs have in store with them this Sunday.

0:20:57.320 --> 0:20:59.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I don't listen. I don't think they're gonna forget

0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:03.639
<v Speaker 2>the I think Mahomes will do something and then do

0:21:03.720 --> 0:21:07.119
<v Speaker 2>a mimic Kermit the Frog thing himself. I think that's

0:21:07.240 --> 0:21:11.280
<v Speaker 2>totally on the board. I also think that they're not

0:21:11.320 --> 0:21:14.560
<v Speaker 2>going to forget Antonio Pierce saying he has the recipe

0:21:14.560 --> 0:21:17.120
<v Speaker 2>to beat the Chiefs and listen, you are the last

0:21:17.119 --> 0:21:20.840
<v Speaker 2>season that works out. Yeah, over the summer. He's like, yeah,

0:21:20.880 --> 0:21:24.840
<v Speaker 2>we have the recipe and so listen. As long as

0:21:25.800 --> 0:21:29.600
<v Speaker 2>we double team Max Crosby every play, this game should

0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:32.159
<v Speaker 2>be no problem whatsoever. All right, let's go to the

0:21:32.160 --> 0:21:34.040
<v Speaker 2>Cowboys demanse Well.

0:21:34.080 --> 0:21:37.200
<v Speaker 3>So, earlier this week, Jerry Jones seemed to take a

0:21:37.240 --> 0:21:39.679
<v Speaker 3>shot at his head coach Mike McCarthy and saying that

0:21:39.720 --> 0:21:43.760
<v Speaker 3>the plays were bad plays and bad concepts, bad designs,

0:21:43.800 --> 0:21:46.560
<v Speaker 3>all that it's not like Jerry Jones has any control

0:21:46.600 --> 0:21:50.639
<v Speaker 3>over who's the head coach. But then a ton of

0:21:50.680 --> 0:21:53.679
<v Speaker 3>former Cowboys players came out and said, on the record,

0:21:54.000 --> 0:21:56.560
<v Speaker 3>has been very distracting, that there's been tourists were in

0:21:56.560 --> 0:22:01.399
<v Speaker 3>the facility while they have practices or is this all

0:22:01.560 --> 0:22:03.520
<v Speaker 3>nothing or is there something? There? Is this bigger than

0:22:03.560 --> 0:22:04.480
<v Speaker 3>what you thought initially?

0:22:05.000 --> 0:22:09.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, listen, the tours article is insane. I didn't understand

0:22:09.960 --> 0:22:13.240
<v Speaker 2>the scope of it. The tickets are forty bucks apiece,

0:22:14.040 --> 0:22:18.480
<v Speaker 2>forty bucks right, ninety bucks if you want to talk

0:22:18.520 --> 0:22:21.840
<v Speaker 2>to hologram Jerry Jones after the tour, that's true story.

0:22:22.160 --> 0:22:25.720
<v Speaker 2>But let's just assume. So let's assume that the average

0:22:25.760 --> 0:22:29.119
<v Speaker 2>ticket ends up costing fifty because the cheapest is forty,

0:22:29.200 --> 0:22:31.920
<v Speaker 2>the most expensive is ninety. Most people probably buy the tickets,

0:22:33.280 --> 0:22:37.800
<v Speaker 2>but they make ten million dollars a year off this.

0:22:38.560 --> 0:22:43.280
<v Speaker 2>So ten million divided by fifty dollars means they're selling

0:22:44.520 --> 0:22:50.520
<v Speaker 2>two hundred thousand tour tickets a year. Two hundred thousand.

0:22:51.200 --> 0:22:54.080
<v Speaker 2>There's a tour every twenty minutes almost every day. That

0:22:54.240 --> 0:22:57.520
<v Speaker 2>is a lot. And and here's the other thing, the

0:22:57.560 --> 0:23:00.560
<v Speaker 2>crazy thing about it in the article, this isn't a

0:23:00.600 --> 0:23:05.040
<v Speaker 2>money grab by Jerry Jones. Of that ten million, you

0:23:05.080 --> 0:23:08.800
<v Speaker 2>know how much the Cowboys get one hundred and sixty

0:23:08.840 --> 0:23:13.480
<v Speaker 2>two thousand dollars because it's considered football revenue. So the

0:23:13.480 --> 0:23:16.800
<v Speaker 2>way the math on that works is all football revenue

0:23:17.080 --> 0:23:20.520
<v Speaker 2>gets split with the players and then split with every team.

0:23:20.760 --> 0:23:23.600
<v Speaker 2>So the players get forty eight percent, the league gets

0:23:23.600 --> 0:23:26.800
<v Speaker 2>fifty two percent. So ten million bucks forty eight percent

0:23:26.840 --> 0:23:29.359
<v Speaker 2>off the top of the players. Now you have five

0:23:29.440 --> 0:23:32.800
<v Speaker 2>point two million, five point two million divided by thirty

0:23:32.800 --> 0:23:35.719
<v Speaker 2>two teams. Now you have one hundred and sixty two thousand,

0:23:35.840 --> 0:23:38.320
<v Speaker 2>five hundred dollars. So you might be like, why does

0:23:38.400 --> 0:23:40.960
<v Speaker 2>Jerry do it? And it's not because of the money.

0:23:41.000 --> 0:23:43.520
<v Speaker 2>It's because of the attention. It's because we're the Dallas

0:23:43.560 --> 0:23:45.880
<v Speaker 2>dam Cowboys were the biggest show in town and we

0:23:45.920 --> 0:23:48.159
<v Speaker 2>want this is how we want to do business. And

0:23:48.200 --> 0:23:51.520
<v Speaker 2>the players hate it. And I don't blame them. I couldn't.

0:23:51.640 --> 0:23:54.440
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't when I always knew the Cowboys did these tours.

0:23:54.480 --> 0:23:57.879
<v Speaker 2>We've heard people talk about it. I assumed Demonsey it

0:23:58.040 --> 0:24:02.080
<v Speaker 2>was like a thousand bucks a ticket or given out

0:24:02.119 --> 0:24:06.040
<v Speaker 2>to corporations or long times, you know what I mean,

0:24:06.080 --> 0:24:10.320
<v Speaker 2>the occasional like guess what you and four friends for

0:24:10.400 --> 0:24:13.360
<v Speaker 2>being a loyal season ticket holder can tour the facility.

0:24:13.760 --> 0:24:16.720
<v Speaker 2>I didn't think it was a group of ten to

0:24:16.720 --> 0:24:21.480
<v Speaker 2>twenty people every half hour it's just going through the facility.

0:24:21.960 --> 0:24:23.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's unbelievable.

0:24:24.880 --> 0:24:27.399
<v Speaker 3>He's also telling them like, it's like you could just

0:24:27.440 --> 0:24:29.520
<v Speaker 3>do that during the off season. They're like, don't talk

0:24:29.560 --> 0:24:31.639
<v Speaker 3>to the players. It's worked on them. Why don't you

0:24:31.680 --> 0:24:32.200
<v Speaker 3>make it work?

0:24:32.520 --> 0:24:35.280
<v Speaker 2>People want to see, right, people want to see the players.

0:24:35.880 --> 0:24:39.160
<v Speaker 2>And Jerry's quotes on this were unbelievable, where he said,

0:24:40.080 --> 0:24:43.560
<v Speaker 2>no one's ever complained about it, but it wouldn't matter

0:24:43.600 --> 0:24:47.560
<v Speaker 2>if they did. I mean this, it's just all time.

0:24:48.119 --> 0:24:55.639
<v Speaker 2>I used to think that Jerry Jones distraction stuff was overwrought.

0:24:56.119 --> 0:24:58.919
<v Speaker 2>Not so much anymore. The guy does seem to be

0:24:58.960 --> 0:25:00.720
<v Speaker 2>a bit of a menace. When it comes to the

0:25:00.720 --> 0:25:04.920
<v Speaker 2>Cowboys succeeding. It's really an unbelievable story. And they play

0:25:04.960 --> 0:25:07.760
<v Speaker 2>the Niners this week. Uh, and we'll see if that

0:25:07.760 --> 0:25:10.920
<v Speaker 2>that comes up in Knicks picks for the It's a

0:25:11.040 --> 0:25:14.800
<v Speaker 2>huge game for both teams, obviously, I would argue actually

0:25:14.880 --> 0:25:18.359
<v Speaker 2>a bigger game for the Niners because the Niners always

0:25:18.359 --> 0:25:22.560
<v Speaker 2>beat the Cowboys, and if they don't win this week

0:25:22.600 --> 0:25:25.439
<v Speaker 2>and fall to three and five, it's a sign of

0:25:25.560 --> 0:25:29.720
<v Speaker 2>real structural problems with the team right now. Meanwhile, in

0:25:29.760 --> 0:25:32.440
<v Speaker 2>a weird way. Since the Cowboys always lose to the Niners,

0:25:32.720 --> 0:25:34.639
<v Speaker 2>losing to them won't be as much of a shock

0:25:34.680 --> 0:25:38.920
<v Speaker 2>to the system. Also, in the NFC East, I think

0:25:39.040 --> 0:25:42.240
<v Speaker 2>Washington's gonna lose to Chicago this weekend because I don't

0:25:42.240 --> 0:25:45.040
<v Speaker 2>think Jayden's playing, and I think the Eagles are gonna

0:25:45.040 --> 0:25:48.720
<v Speaker 2>lose to the Bengals. So even if the Cowboys lose,

0:25:48.760 --> 0:25:54.560
<v Speaker 2>they could potentially keep pace in the NFC East. Uh right, yeah,

0:25:54.560 --> 0:25:56.320
<v Speaker 2>maybe a little bit. All right, let's go to the Rams.

0:25:57.400 --> 0:26:00.200
<v Speaker 3>Yes, so the Rams year is obviously not gone as

0:26:00.200 --> 0:26:02.920
<v Speaker 3>good as they hoped. You were Hio in La before

0:26:02.960 --> 0:26:04.960
<v Speaker 3>the season. But injuries across.

0:26:04.640 --> 0:26:06.639
<v Speaker 2>The board the NFC Championship game.

0:26:07.080 --> 0:26:09.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, injuries across the board have them at two and

0:26:09.920 --> 0:26:12.680
<v Speaker 3>four right now. Cup and Stafford were in some weird

0:26:12.760 --> 0:26:17.280
<v Speaker 3>trade rumors. The Rams win tonight versus Minnesota, they're right

0:26:17.320 --> 0:26:19.320
<v Speaker 3>back in that thing. What do you think is gonna

0:26:19.320 --> 0:26:20.480
<v Speaker 3>happen with this team?

0:26:20.760 --> 0:26:24.800
<v Speaker 2>All right? The Stafford trade rumors were wild, like, and

0:26:24.840 --> 0:26:27.679
<v Speaker 2>I think I think they were pretty unfounded. But it

0:26:27.760 --> 0:26:30.480
<v Speaker 2>was that Minnesota might try to trade for him, which

0:26:30.480 --> 0:26:33.560
<v Speaker 2>is who they're playing tonight. And Sam Darnold's got to

0:26:33.560 --> 0:26:35.439
<v Speaker 2>be like, what the what are you kidding? Wasn't I

0:26:35.480 --> 0:26:37.640
<v Speaker 2>on like everybody's MVP list a couple of weeks ago,

0:26:37.680 --> 0:26:40.680
<v Speaker 2>Like now we're trading, by the way, let me tell

0:26:40.680 --> 0:26:45.080
<v Speaker 2>you something. Right now, Vikings trading for Matt Stafford.

0:26:47.240 --> 0:26:50.520
<v Speaker 3>I would, yeah, immediately right.

0:26:52.160 --> 0:26:57.520
<v Speaker 2>More than contenders, the favorites in the NFC, the hands

0:26:57.600 --> 0:26:59.800
<v Speaker 2>down favorites in the NFC, if they would do that.

0:27:00.160 --> 0:27:03.479
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that's gonna happen. Uh, but it's a

0:27:03.520 --> 0:27:06.320
<v Speaker 2>really weird spot, Like, let's just talk about those rumors

0:27:06.320 --> 0:27:08.879
<v Speaker 2>for a second again. I think it's very, very unlikely,

0:27:09.680 --> 0:27:13.080
<v Speaker 2>but in a weird way. Like if you're Sam Darnald

0:27:13.160 --> 0:27:18.480
<v Speaker 2>tonight and you think these rumors are real, you're like, well,

0:27:18.560 --> 0:27:22.760
<v Speaker 2>let's let's let's game this out. I play really. I

0:27:22.840 --> 0:27:27.680
<v Speaker 2>play well tonight. We win and we beat the Rams,

0:27:28.359 --> 0:27:32.000
<v Speaker 2>and the Rams realize their season's over, they need to

0:27:32.040 --> 0:27:37.280
<v Speaker 2>hold a fire sale and Stafford's available. That's not good

0:27:37.320 --> 0:27:39.760
<v Speaker 2>for me. Okay, let's play out the other side of it.

0:27:40.200 --> 0:27:44.159
<v Speaker 2>I play poorly tonight and we lose. Well, that's not

0:27:44.280 --> 0:27:47.439
<v Speaker 2>good for me either. Poor Sam Darnald's kind of gonna lose. Lose.

0:27:47.880 --> 0:27:50.600
<v Speaker 2>You're playing because you're playing the Rams, you beat them

0:27:50.640 --> 0:27:52.879
<v Speaker 2>to say, to show you should be the guy. It

0:27:52.920 --> 0:27:55.880
<v Speaker 2>makes it more likely that that quarterback's available. I don't

0:27:55.880 --> 0:27:59.760
<v Speaker 2>think they're trading Stafford. I also thought, you know, Pooka

0:27:59.840 --> 0:28:04.040
<v Speaker 2>my return tonight. They think Kupp could return tonight. I

0:28:04.200 --> 0:28:06.320
<v Speaker 2>or is supposed to play to night. I should say

0:28:07.000 --> 0:28:10.920
<v Speaker 2>I thought the I thought the Rams were pretty transparent

0:28:10.960 --> 0:28:14.080
<v Speaker 2>and leaking to the media. Oh yeah, I mean, we'd

0:28:14.080 --> 0:28:16.080
<v Speaker 2>hate to trade Cooper Cup, but for the low low

0:28:16.119 --> 0:28:18.320
<v Speaker 2>price of a second round pick, we'd trade him. Like,

0:28:18.359 --> 0:28:20.680
<v Speaker 2>no one's giving you a second round pick for Cooper

0:28:20.760 --> 0:28:23.359
<v Speaker 2>Cup and all his ankle injuries and the salary has

0:28:23.480 --> 0:28:27.840
<v Speaker 2>left nobody's doing that. But I still think demanse and

0:28:27.920 --> 0:28:31.320
<v Speaker 2>maybe this is just me being tied to my preseason priors.

0:28:31.800 --> 0:28:35.160
<v Speaker 2>The Rams, if they get healthy, could turn it around.

0:28:35.520 --> 0:28:38.760
<v Speaker 2>And I will remind the audience that the Rams last

0:28:38.880 --> 0:28:43.280
<v Speaker 2>year started three and six and then ended up ten

0:28:43.320 --> 0:28:45.720
<v Speaker 2>and seven and in a back and forth one point

0:28:45.760 --> 0:28:49.920
<v Speaker 2>playoff game against the Lions. But this they really have

0:28:50.000 --> 0:28:53.720
<v Speaker 2>to steal this one tonight, because falling to two and

0:28:53.800 --> 0:28:56.840
<v Speaker 2>five might be a hole too big when you still

0:28:56.840 --> 0:29:02.600
<v Speaker 2>have on the schedule at Seattle, at San Francisco, another

0:29:02.640 --> 0:29:06.000
<v Speaker 2>game against Seattle, home for Philly, home for Buffalo, home

0:29:06.040 --> 0:29:10.320
<v Speaker 2>for Miami, like the Rams need this win and Vikings

0:29:10.360 --> 0:29:13.440
<v Speaker 2>obviously are the Vikings coming off No, they were coming

0:29:13.480 --> 0:29:17.600
<v Speaker 2>off of by last the Vikings coming off a tough loss. Now.

0:29:20.600 --> 0:29:25.120
<v Speaker 2>Other one thing on that though, fun fact because it

0:29:25.160 --> 0:29:31.400
<v Speaker 2>was Vikings Lions this weekend. The Lions this year, every

0:29:31.480 --> 0:29:34.680
<v Speaker 2>team that has played them has lost the following week.

0:29:36.240 --> 0:29:38.560
<v Speaker 2>Remember when the Niners did that a couple of years ago,

0:29:38.880 --> 0:29:41.160
<v Speaker 2>where it's like every team that played the Niners then

0:29:41.200 --> 0:29:44.320
<v Speaker 2>lost the following week. The Lions beat you up so

0:29:44.480 --> 0:29:47.320
<v Speaker 2>much it would there's a real trend here where everybody

0:29:47.320 --> 0:29:50.440
<v Speaker 2>that plays the Lions the next week they get beat

0:29:50.520 --> 0:29:53.960
<v Speaker 2>and typically get beat pretty badly. So that probably doesn't

0:29:54.000 --> 0:29:56.360
<v Speaker 2>that maybe doesn't bode well for the Vikings. I don't know.

0:29:56.880 --> 0:30:00.800
<v Speaker 2>It's actually a sneaky great Thursday night football game. All right,

0:30:00.880 --> 0:30:03.000
<v Speaker 2>let's go to Let's go to Bronni real quick and

0:30:03.040 --> 0:30:03.480
<v Speaker 2>then move on.

0:30:04.560 --> 0:30:07.280
<v Speaker 3>So, for the first time since twenty sixteen, the Lakers

0:30:07.280 --> 0:30:10.880
<v Speaker 3>won an opening night that obviously wasn't the huge story here.

0:30:11.560 --> 0:30:14.440
<v Speaker 3>Lebron and Bronny took the court together, and even for

0:30:14.480 --> 0:30:16.600
<v Speaker 3>those that hate Lebron. You gotta admit this is a

0:30:16.640 --> 0:30:17.400
<v Speaker 3>really cool thing.

0:30:18.200 --> 0:30:21.080
<v Speaker 2>You take it Listen. I just want to jump in.

0:30:21.120 --> 0:30:23.120
<v Speaker 2>I just want to respond to that part real quick.

0:30:24.880 --> 0:30:27.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't think those people will acknowledge it was a

0:30:27.240 --> 0:30:32.160
<v Speaker 2>really cool thing. I ain't that there, so I couldn't

0:30:32.200 --> 0:30:38.080
<v Speaker 2>help myself but respond to someone on Twitter Fox Sports

0:30:38.200 --> 0:30:44.719
<v Speaker 2>radio guy who I don't know definitively how old this

0:30:44.800 --> 0:30:48.120
<v Speaker 2>guy is, but I would bet a lot of money

0:30:48.720 --> 0:30:54.200
<v Speaker 2>he is younger than me and I I think probably

0:30:54.240 --> 0:31:00.200
<v Speaker 2>in his early thirties. And he tweeted, I'm just gonnad

0:31:00.240 --> 0:31:02.400
<v Speaker 2>you the exact tweet because I was so annoyed by

0:31:02.440 --> 0:31:03.720
<v Speaker 2>it that I was like, you know what, I'm just

0:31:03.840 --> 0:31:08.160
<v Speaker 2>gonna I'm gonna break my prohibition and directly respond to somebody.

0:31:08.760 --> 0:31:12.360
<v Speaker 2>So he tweeted, and this now, of course has thousands

0:31:12.360 --> 0:31:16.320
<v Speaker 2>of retweets. I'll say it so you don't have to.

0:31:17.160 --> 0:31:22.280
<v Speaker 2>There's nothing historic or special about Bronni and Lebron playing together.

0:31:22.720 --> 0:31:27.000
<v Speaker 2>It's solely to satiate the ego of Lebron. James King,

0:31:27.080 --> 0:31:33.320
<v Speaker 2>Griffy Senior and Junior felt special. That felt weird, staged,

0:31:33.640 --> 0:31:37.320
<v Speaker 2>and honestly just awkward. So I'll respond to the merits

0:31:37.320 --> 0:31:40.160
<v Speaker 2>of all that in a second. But here's why I

0:31:40.240 --> 0:31:42.480
<v Speaker 2>replied to this guy, and why I find some of

0:31:42.520 --> 0:31:47.560
<v Speaker 2>this stuff so cartoonish. This line King Griffy Senior and

0:31:47.720 --> 0:31:53.560
<v Speaker 2>Junior felt special, Bro, that was thirty four years ago.

0:31:54.880 --> 0:31:58.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't believe you were alive, and if you were,

0:31:58.880 --> 0:32:02.840
<v Speaker 2>you certainly don't remember how it felt. So don't tell

0:32:02.920 --> 0:32:06.720
<v Speaker 2>me this felt different when you're just making it up.

0:32:07.400 --> 0:32:12.880
<v Speaker 2>You didn't. You can now junior and senior, different caliber players,

0:32:12.920 --> 0:32:15.640
<v Speaker 2>all this stuff, But this pulling on the emotional that

0:32:16.000 --> 0:32:21.040
<v Speaker 2>it felt differently, full of shit. You're just making things up.

0:32:21.440 --> 0:32:25.000
<v Speaker 2>You were either not born or too young to have

0:32:25.040 --> 0:32:29.440
<v Speaker 2>any recollection of how anything felt. So it's just again

0:32:30.560 --> 0:32:35.360
<v Speaker 2>and away. And I saw Michelle Beadle be like yesterday

0:32:35.600 --> 0:32:40.960
<v Speaker 2>basically called the whole thing a sham. Folks, the guy

0:32:41.360 --> 0:32:46.800
<v Speaker 2>who has played more minutes in the NBA than anyone ever,

0:32:47.040 --> 0:32:50.840
<v Speaker 2>who has scored more points in the NBA than anyone ever,

0:32:51.080 --> 0:32:55.200
<v Speaker 2>who is the most hyped prep player in the history

0:32:55.640 --> 0:32:59.080
<v Speaker 2>of the league, who has been scrutinized more than anyone

0:32:59.160 --> 0:33:02.200
<v Speaker 2>in the history of the league, who's had no scandal,

0:33:02.400 --> 0:33:05.800
<v Speaker 2>who's had no off the court issues, who has been

0:33:05.840 --> 0:33:09.720
<v Speaker 2>a leader in his community and at worst the third

0:33:09.800 --> 0:33:12.120
<v Speaker 2>greatest player of all time and at best the greatest

0:33:12.160 --> 0:33:15.760
<v Speaker 2>player of all time, had a kid who we saw

0:33:15.920 --> 0:33:20.800
<v Speaker 2>grow up on the sidelines. That kid then was a

0:33:21.000 --> 0:33:26.240
<v Speaker 2>top college prospect. He then went to a top program

0:33:27.400 --> 0:33:30.800
<v Speaker 2>and his heart stopped and he damn near died on

0:33:30.840 --> 0:33:34.560
<v Speaker 2>the court. He then came back and started playing again

0:33:35.160 --> 0:33:41.400
<v Speaker 2>and was a fringe draftable prospect. The team that still

0:33:41.440 --> 0:33:45.720
<v Speaker 2>employs his dad, arguably the greatest player of all time,

0:33:46.400 --> 0:33:49.760
<v Speaker 2>used a late second round pick on him, and these

0:33:49.800 --> 0:33:54.600
<v Speaker 2>two guys were on the court in an NBA game together.

0:33:56.480 --> 0:34:00.360
<v Speaker 2>It's one of the coolest fucking things in sports. His string.

0:34:01.320 --> 0:34:06.120
<v Speaker 2>And if you dislike Lebron so much that you're like, oh,

0:34:07.320 --> 0:34:10.480
<v Speaker 2>what just a photo op to satiate the guy's ego,

0:34:11.000 --> 0:34:17.480
<v Speaker 2>it you've lost the plot. Now, if later in the

0:34:17.520 --> 0:34:23.480
<v Speaker 2>season Bronnie is, you know, stealing minutes from Austin reeves

0:34:23.840 --> 0:34:28.240
<v Speaker 2>and getting cooked left and right, and Lebron's making it happen,

0:34:28.680 --> 0:34:33.760
<v Speaker 2>that will be a problem. But that's not going to happen, guys,

0:34:34.480 --> 0:34:40.400
<v Speaker 2>And I so listen. I thought it was supered dope.

0:34:40.640 --> 0:34:46.680
<v Speaker 2>And I also think there is an element of and

0:34:46.719 --> 0:34:49.239
<v Speaker 2>this is goes unspoken with a lot of it, but

0:34:49.960 --> 0:34:51.759
<v Speaker 2>all speak to it. We've talked about it a bit

0:34:51.760 --> 0:34:58.680
<v Speaker 2>on this before that in the nineties a huge through

0:34:58.800 --> 0:35:06.000
<v Speaker 2>line of NBA coverage was bad guys, the word thug

0:35:06.080 --> 0:35:10.239
<v Speaker 2>thrown around a lot, absent fathers, kids all over the

0:35:10.280 --> 0:35:13.680
<v Speaker 2>country that they don't see that. Sports Illustrated had a

0:35:13.840 --> 0:35:17.920
<v Speaker 2>horrifying cover we've talked about on the show before, demanday

0:35:18.280 --> 0:35:22.200
<v Speaker 2>of a little black baby boy and the headline it

0:35:22.360 --> 0:35:28.120
<v Speaker 2>was where's daddy? And talking about absentee NBA fathers. The

0:35:28.160 --> 0:35:33.520
<v Speaker 2>face of the league for twenty years has been as

0:35:33.719 --> 0:35:38.120
<v Speaker 2>active as involved parent and husband as we've ever seen

0:35:38.160 --> 0:35:43.120
<v Speaker 2>in sports. And now his oldest son shared the court

0:35:43.160 --> 0:35:47.120
<v Speaker 2>with him in an NBA game. If you can't see that,

0:35:47.120 --> 0:35:52.799
<v Speaker 2>that is an unbelievable story, and save your what aboutism?

0:35:52.880 --> 0:35:55.640
<v Speaker 2>Well what about later, let's see how it plays out.

0:35:56.000 --> 0:35:59.840
<v Speaker 2>But Tuesday night that was dope as hell and so

0:36:00.040 --> 0:36:03.640
<v Speaker 2>oh and again, if you want to take shots at Lebron,

0:36:03.680 --> 0:36:10.479
<v Speaker 2>take shots at Lebron, but don't don't recreate history about

0:36:10.960 --> 0:36:14.600
<v Speaker 2>other moments that you weren't around for and how they're different.

0:36:15.360 --> 0:36:19.600
<v Speaker 2>Just nonsense. Get Week eight Gambling Show next. What's right?

0:38:14.880 --> 0:38:18.680
<v Speaker 2>here's where we're at on my season picks. We weren't

0:38:18.680 --> 0:38:20.960
<v Speaker 2>here last week. The week before last, I went one

0:38:21.040 --> 0:38:23.960
<v Speaker 2>and four, first true disaster of the season. Last week

0:38:24.040 --> 0:38:25.520
<v Speaker 2>I went three and two. We'll get to that in

0:38:25.560 --> 0:38:29.080
<v Speaker 2>a second. That means through seven weeks, I've made thirty

0:38:29.120 --> 0:38:32.720
<v Speaker 2>five picks. Theoretically, since it's an odd number, I shouldn't

0:38:32.719 --> 0:38:34.520
<v Speaker 2>be able to be five hundred, but I had one

0:38:34.560 --> 0:38:38.239
<v Speaker 2>push in there, which has allowed me to be seventeen

0:38:39.000 --> 0:38:45.120
<v Speaker 2>seventeen and one, which does mean if I had gotten

0:38:45.840 --> 0:38:50.200
<v Speaker 2>in order to be tied with Demonse in his picks,

0:38:50.640 --> 0:38:54.320
<v Speaker 2>I would have needed ten of those losses to be wins.

0:38:54.520 --> 0:38:56.960
<v Speaker 2>Would I just just ten bets go a different way,

0:38:57.000 --> 0:39:00.120
<v Speaker 2>and I'd be where he is? But last week I

0:39:00.160 --> 0:39:02.400
<v Speaker 2>felt pretty good about it. We weren't able to do

0:39:02.440 --> 0:39:04.120
<v Speaker 2>it on the show, but we'll talk you through it.

0:39:05.400 --> 0:39:10.520
<v Speaker 2>The Jags prohibition ended. I promptly bet them laying five

0:39:10.560 --> 0:39:13.840
<v Speaker 2>and a half in London. They were down early, didn't matter.

0:39:13.880 --> 0:39:18.160
<v Speaker 2>The Patriots stink. The Titans plus nine and a half.

0:39:18.400 --> 0:39:24.080
<v Speaker 2>I gotta tell you, man that bs that I didn't

0:39:24.120 --> 0:39:26.279
<v Speaker 2>win that bet. You might say, Nick, they lost by

0:39:26.280 --> 0:39:31.600
<v Speaker 2>one hundred. They were up ten zero. I was catching

0:39:31.719 --> 0:39:35.560
<v Speaker 2>nearly ten points. The game started ten to nothing Titans,

0:39:35.840 --> 0:39:40.640
<v Speaker 2>and then Buffalo scored thirty four consecutive points. But my

0:39:40.760 --> 0:39:43.239
<v Speaker 2>other three bets I loved as well, even though only

0:39:43.280 --> 0:39:44.919
<v Speaker 2>one two of them. Chief plus one and a half

0:39:44.920 --> 0:39:48.520
<v Speaker 2>at the Niners Auto must fire every time the Chiefs

0:39:48.560 --> 0:39:51.320
<v Speaker 2>are underdogs. It might happen again this year. Who knows.

0:39:51.560 --> 0:39:55.000
<v Speaker 2>Pittsburgh plus one and a half against the Jets. That

0:39:55.040 --> 0:39:58.200
<v Speaker 2>game didn't start well, ended great, and then and I

0:39:58.239 --> 0:40:01.440
<v Speaker 2>gotta tell you, I know you're gonna say I'm crazy

0:40:01.719 --> 0:40:04.640
<v Speaker 2>Tampa plus three and Alfagans Baltimore. I don't feel badly

0:40:04.719 --> 0:40:07.879
<v Speaker 2>about that bet get and I know that they ended

0:40:07.960 --> 0:40:11.200
<v Speaker 2>up getting blown out yet well they can't exactly. They

0:40:11.200 --> 0:40:14.320
<v Speaker 2>came out ten, oh, they should have come out fourteen nothing.

0:40:14.600 --> 0:40:17.040
<v Speaker 2>Then they drove again and Baker through that pick in

0:40:17.080 --> 0:40:21.080
<v Speaker 2>the end zone. So I felt like good process for

0:40:21.320 --> 0:40:25.279
<v Speaker 2>all of these picks yesterday or last week three and two.

0:40:25.520 --> 0:40:28.439
<v Speaker 2>Now here's the thing is, you guys might be able

0:40:28.480 --> 0:40:31.640
<v Speaker 2>to see if you follow me on Twitter. My guy

0:40:31.840 --> 0:40:36.040
<v Speaker 2>Zach has been making these awesome graphics for us, and

0:40:36.120 --> 0:40:40.000
<v Speaker 2>one of them is my season long betting trends and

0:40:40.080 --> 0:40:45.640
<v Speaker 2>scores and everything. And he informed me I am ten

0:40:45.719 --> 0:40:52.000
<v Speaker 2>and three when betting on AFC teams and seven and

0:40:52.239 --> 0:40:57.120
<v Speaker 2>fourteen when betting on NFC teams, which would lead you

0:40:57.160 --> 0:40:59.440
<v Speaker 2>to believe I have a much better pulse of the

0:40:59.440 --> 0:41:04.480
<v Speaker 2>AFC right now that in NFC, which is a little disconcerting. Yeah,

0:41:04.680 --> 0:41:07.319
<v Speaker 2>that's exactly right. I always lose to the NFC. You're right.

0:41:08.080 --> 0:41:13.280
<v Speaker 2>It's also a little disconcerting because in reviewing my wagers

0:41:13.280 --> 0:41:17.680
<v Speaker 2>for this week, four of the five NFC teams, I

0:41:17.719 --> 0:41:20.640
<v Speaker 2>gotta turn it around somehow. I gotta turn it around somehow.

0:41:20.680 --> 0:41:24.000
<v Speaker 2>So the first one Demond's, however, is my one AFC team.

0:41:24.520 --> 0:41:27.080
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna hate it. I'm sure. Go ahead.

0:41:27.200 --> 0:41:31.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you've got Cleveland plus eight and a half versus Baltimore.

0:41:32.200 --> 0:41:34.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I just yeah, I'm just gonna be I might

0:41:35.080 --> 0:41:42.279
<v Speaker 2>logic on this is twofold. First one AFC North games.

0:41:43.280 --> 0:41:46.719
<v Speaker 2>You should not be laying more than a touchdown in

0:41:46.760 --> 0:41:52.200
<v Speaker 2>any circumstance that it's divisional games. The division's too well contested.

0:41:52.520 --> 0:41:54.680
<v Speaker 2>You shouldn't ever be laying more than eight and a half.

0:41:55.080 --> 0:41:58.120
<v Speaker 2>And the other and by the way, just back that up.

0:41:58.560 --> 0:42:02.920
<v Speaker 2>Dogs in AFC North games are forty five and thirty

0:42:02.920 --> 0:42:05.680
<v Speaker 2>one against the spread in their last seventy six games

0:42:05.719 --> 0:42:10.920
<v Speaker 2>or whatever that is. But here's the other reason. The

0:42:10.960 --> 0:42:15.920
<v Speaker 2>Browns team just got a new lease on the season.

0:42:16.960 --> 0:42:20.560
<v Speaker 2>With Jamis being the quarterback, you are going to see

0:42:21.200 --> 0:42:25.960
<v Speaker 2>more excitement and belief in that offense than you have

0:42:26.040 --> 0:42:30.720
<v Speaker 2>seen all year. And Baltimore the one thing they can't

0:42:30.800 --> 0:42:35.120
<v Speaker 2>do is defend the pass. Now, I understand Amari Cooper's gone.

0:42:35.160 --> 0:42:39.879
<v Speaker 2>I'm not acting like Jamis is gonna be great. Finish well,

0:42:40.040 --> 0:42:44.719
<v Speaker 2>oh yeah, that's the right aways. Yes, the back door

0:42:44.840 --> 0:42:47.600
<v Speaker 2>is always wide open with the Ravens. You're one hundred

0:42:47.920 --> 0:42:52.320
<v Speaker 2>correct on that. And so do I feel great about

0:42:53.040 --> 0:42:58.280
<v Speaker 2>betting Jamis Winston and the Cleveland Browns uh in any spot?

0:42:58.440 --> 0:43:02.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't. But do I feel like that a home

0:43:02.880 --> 0:43:07.560
<v Speaker 2>divisional dog of eight and a half points is almost

0:43:07.560 --> 0:43:11.680
<v Speaker 2>a must fire, especially if you think that team's defense

0:43:12.080 --> 0:43:15.480
<v Speaker 2>in Cleveland is pretty decent. I do. So I'll take

0:43:15.520 --> 0:43:17.440
<v Speaker 2>Baltimore plus the eight and a half.

0:43:17.239 --> 0:43:23.000
<v Speaker 3>Next, and next you've got green Bay minus four at Jacksonville.

0:43:23.440 --> 0:43:31.400
<v Speaker 2>So fade and the Prince and so here's here's why

0:43:32.440 --> 0:43:37.560
<v Speaker 2>I think this is the rare time where laying laying

0:43:37.600 --> 0:43:41.120
<v Speaker 2>more than a field goal on the road is the

0:43:41.200 --> 0:43:44.360
<v Speaker 2>sharp side of things. I don't think it can be

0:43:44.440 --> 0:43:51.720
<v Speaker 2>overstated how bad Jacksonville's defense is. The Jags defense can't

0:43:51.760 --> 0:43:58.799
<v Speaker 2>cover anyone. The Packers have three viable legitimate receivers, and

0:43:58.920 --> 0:44:03.520
<v Speaker 2>Jordan Love is out here trying to throw four touchdowns

0:44:03.520 --> 0:44:05.879
<v Speaker 2>a game. Now, you might throw a couple picks with it,

0:44:06.280 --> 0:44:11.080
<v Speaker 2>but he he is foot on neck at all times,

0:44:11.960 --> 0:44:14.680
<v Speaker 2>and so I just feel like this is a game.

0:44:14.800 --> 0:44:21.520
<v Speaker 2>Green Bay scores thirty one thirty two points and I

0:44:21.560 --> 0:44:24.120
<v Speaker 2>don't think Jacksonville is gonna get to the high twenties.

0:44:24.400 --> 0:44:27.600
<v Speaker 2>I think green Bay's defense has been better than I expected.

0:44:27.640 --> 0:44:31.800
<v Speaker 2>This year feels like a thirty one, twenty one, thirty

0:44:31.840 --> 0:44:34.920
<v Speaker 2>one twenty four type of green Bay win. So I

0:44:34.960 --> 0:44:37.680
<v Speaker 2>just think Jags have arguably the worst defense in the

0:44:37.840 --> 0:44:40.800
<v Speaker 2>NFL right now. It's certainly on the very short list.

0:44:41.080 --> 0:44:44.239
<v Speaker 2>So this listen, I feel bad fading the Prince, but

0:44:44.360 --> 0:44:46.280
<v Speaker 2>green Bay minus four, I think it is the sharp

0:44:46.320 --> 0:44:49.120
<v Speaker 2>side of this one demonsa your thoughts.

0:44:48.840 --> 0:44:53.239
<v Speaker 3>And I like green Bay minus I'm yeah, I don't

0:44:53.280 --> 0:44:56.239
<v Speaker 3>trust exactly twenty one was I thought the Jags wuld

0:44:56.239 --> 0:44:58.920
<v Speaker 3>score there, and I don't trust the Jags at all.

0:44:58.960 --> 0:45:01.640
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what's going on there. Like from everything,

0:45:01.760 --> 0:45:03.840
<v Speaker 3>I can't blame it on Doug Peterson. It just seems

0:45:03.880 --> 0:45:05.480
<v Speaker 3>like the players don't even want to catch the ball,

0:45:05.880 --> 0:45:11.439
<v Speaker 3>and then when they can, Lawrence is overthrowing it. It's

0:45:11.440 --> 0:45:14.200
<v Speaker 3>what I'm seeing on the field. It's like he can't

0:45:14.239 --> 0:45:15.520
<v Speaker 3>execute the play.

0:45:16.000 --> 0:45:18.799
<v Speaker 2>Wow, players, Well that's what he said. That's what That's

0:45:18.840 --> 0:45:22.520
<v Speaker 2>what Doug Peterson said, the exact thing. Also, I will

0:45:22.560 --> 0:45:27.239
<v Speaker 2>say this and I'm listen, I'm not besmirching your handicapping

0:45:27.280 --> 0:45:31.160
<v Speaker 2>abilities at all. But I would wager a lot of

0:45:31.200 --> 0:45:34.120
<v Speaker 2>money and one of these games they were terrible, and

0:45:34.160 --> 0:45:37.160
<v Speaker 2>one of these games they were excellent. That you have

0:45:37.280 --> 0:45:39.919
<v Speaker 2>not seen a second of JAG's football the last two

0:45:39.920 --> 0:45:42.600
<v Speaker 2>weeks because back to back weeks they were six thirty

0:45:42.680 --> 0:45:46.120
<v Speaker 2>am West Coast start times, and I just don't think

0:45:46.600 --> 0:45:48.600
<v Speaker 2>you were getting game.

0:45:49.120 --> 0:45:56.160
<v Speaker 3>And I've had on their past games.

0:45:54.280 --> 0:45:58.399
<v Speaker 2>And so but I think that's actually fine because they

0:45:58.400 --> 0:46:01.200
<v Speaker 2>look terrible in the first one again in Chicago. They

0:46:01.200 --> 0:46:03.600
<v Speaker 2>looked good in this last one. But you're playing the

0:46:03.680 --> 0:46:06.279
<v Speaker 2>damn Patriots, So what does it really matter? Right? All right?

0:46:06.960 --> 0:46:07.480
<v Speaker 2>Next one?

0:46:08.640 --> 0:46:11.160
<v Speaker 3>Next we've got Atlanta minus two and a half at

0:46:11.200 --> 0:46:11.799
<v Speaker 3>Tampa Bay.

0:46:12.719 --> 0:46:14.680
<v Speaker 2>Hold on, I think you just skipped one, didn't you.

0:46:14.800 --> 0:46:18.239
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, oh, no, I skipped That's my bad. No, no, no,

0:46:18.520 --> 0:46:24.480
<v Speaker 2>you're right. Yeah. I just worry that Atlanta. I'm sorry

0:46:24.480 --> 0:46:29.799
<v Speaker 2>that Tampa Ravens beat them twice. Yeah, I just think

0:46:29.840 --> 0:46:36.239
<v Speaker 2>the emotional toll of that loss and no godwin, No

0:46:36.520 --> 0:46:39.760
<v Speaker 2>Evans Baker also got beat up in that game.

0:46:40.560 --> 0:46:42.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm just Tampa gotten DeAndre Hopkins.

0:46:42.760 --> 0:46:47.320
<v Speaker 2>If they wanted, well, sure they could have tried. Yeah, definitely.

0:46:49.320 --> 0:46:54.319
<v Speaker 2>But I just, I really I think that when did

0:46:54.320 --> 0:46:58.920
<v Speaker 2>the Chiefs trade for DeAndre? It was Tuesday? Right? Was

0:46:58.920 --> 0:47:00.279
<v Speaker 2>it on our two? No?

0:47:00.440 --> 0:47:02.560
<v Speaker 3>This is this is Wednesday. This wasn't interesting.

0:47:03.040 --> 0:47:05.319
<v Speaker 2>Lose yesterday, Okay, So that's why I didn't know if

0:47:05.320 --> 0:47:08.000
<v Speaker 2>it was yesterday morning or the day before yesterday. Okay,

0:47:08.239 --> 0:47:12.000
<v Speaker 2>the you're probably right, doesn't matter. You are right. It

0:47:12.040 --> 0:47:15.480
<v Speaker 2>was yesterday morning. It broke. It broke like early early morning,

0:47:15.560 --> 0:47:19.880
<v Speaker 2>yesterday morning. Uh, And so point that I the reason

0:47:19.880 --> 0:47:22.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm asking it is it does seem like the Chiefs

0:47:22.440 --> 0:47:26.279
<v Speaker 2>and Titans were working on it Monday, even if it

0:47:26.320 --> 0:47:29.440
<v Speaker 2>wasn't done, and Tampa didn't know they were gonna need

0:47:29.440 --> 0:47:33.440
<v Speaker 2>a receiver on Monday. So the now, I do think

0:47:33.440 --> 0:47:36.359
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna get Mike Evans back. I just think that

0:47:36.520 --> 0:47:41.439
<v Speaker 2>Tampa's defense has been highly disappointing. Atlanta's gonna be able

0:47:41.480 --> 0:47:44.920
<v Speaker 2>to move the ball, and I just think that that

0:47:45.040 --> 0:47:48.359
<v Speaker 2>type of loss against Baltimore, where you get beat up

0:47:48.760 --> 0:47:52.640
<v Speaker 2>and you lose key players, I just could see Atlanta

0:47:53.040 --> 0:47:55.759
<v Speaker 2>having real control of this game, even as bad as

0:47:55.760 --> 0:47:58.760
<v Speaker 2>they looked last week. I'm laying less than a field

0:47:58.800 --> 0:48:02.560
<v Speaker 2>goal again, I'm taking another road favorite, which is typically

0:48:02.600 --> 0:48:04.480
<v Speaker 2>not the sharp side of things, but I do that

0:48:04.520 --> 0:48:06.839
<v Speaker 2>a few times. This week, I'm gonna lay the two

0:48:06.880 --> 0:48:08.640
<v Speaker 2>and a half with Atlantic because I think the Tampa

0:48:08.640 --> 0:48:12.520
<v Speaker 2>injuries are too much. And Baker, by the way, is

0:48:12.600 --> 0:48:15.480
<v Speaker 2>four and ten against the spread at home against division opponents,

0:48:15.800 --> 0:48:18.680
<v Speaker 2>and Kirk Cousins, off a loss, is forty and twenty

0:48:18.719 --> 0:48:22.200
<v Speaker 2>six against the spread, which is fifth best since he

0:48:22.400 --> 0:48:24.600
<v Speaker 2>in the last twenty years in the NFL. All right,

0:48:24.719 --> 0:48:28.920
<v Speaker 2>next one. I'm telling you right now, I don't feel

0:48:28.920 --> 0:48:32.080
<v Speaker 2>great about this, but I feel like I'm obligated to

0:48:32.120 --> 0:48:32.440
<v Speaker 2>do it.

0:48:32.920 --> 0:48:36.560
<v Speaker 3>Go ahead, You've got a New Orleans plus seven at

0:48:36.560 --> 0:48:37.240
<v Speaker 3>the Chargers.

0:48:38.960 --> 0:48:43.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So here's the deal. I obviously don't think New

0:48:43.800 --> 0:48:47.880
<v Speaker 2>Orleans is good. In fact, I think they're bad, really

0:48:47.960 --> 0:48:53.719
<v Speaker 2>really bad. However, the following people for the Chargers did

0:48:53.800 --> 0:49:00.960
<v Speaker 2>not even practice yesterday. Darius Davis, will Disley, Hayden Hurst,

0:49:01.360 --> 0:49:06.520
<v Speaker 2>Quinton Johnston, Lad McConkie, Denzel Perryman. They had another four

0:49:06.600 --> 0:49:15.920
<v Speaker 2>guys that were limited in practice. Also, they are they

0:49:16.320 --> 0:49:21.560
<v Speaker 2>they don't score points, so how are they really going

0:49:21.600 --> 0:49:25.640
<v Speaker 2>to cover seven? Their points scored this year are twenty two,

0:49:26.360 --> 0:49:34.640
<v Speaker 2>twenty six, ten, ten, twenty three and fifteen New Orleans

0:49:34.680 --> 0:49:37.880
<v Speaker 2>for all its faults, and you know, and I think again,

0:49:37.920 --> 0:49:41.040
<v Speaker 2>I think New Orleans is a bad team. New Orleans,

0:49:41.080 --> 0:49:44.560
<v Speaker 2>prior to last week against the Broncos, had been able

0:49:44.600 --> 0:49:47.240
<v Speaker 2>to move the ball most of the year and score

0:49:47.320 --> 0:49:52.680
<v Speaker 2>some points. I just think that this also, there will

0:49:52.840 --> 0:49:57.160
<v Speaker 2>unequivocally be far more Saints fans at this game in

0:49:57.239 --> 0:50:01.239
<v Speaker 2>Los Angeles than there are New Orleans fans. I just

0:50:01.480 --> 0:50:06.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't think the Chargers have earned the right to

0:50:06.719 --> 0:50:11.959
<v Speaker 2>be a touchdown favorite over anyone. So I'll begrudgingly take

0:50:12.040 --> 0:50:15.040
<v Speaker 2>the seven points and believe this is going I mean,

0:50:15.160 --> 0:50:17.719
<v Speaker 2>last game the Chargers play, they didn't score any touchdowns

0:50:17.880 --> 0:50:21.640
<v Speaker 2>and Herbert once again got beat up. The offensive line,

0:50:21.960 --> 0:50:25.520
<v Speaker 2>pardon me, has not been as good as advertised. This

0:50:25.760 --> 0:50:31.680
<v Speaker 2>just really feels to me like a seventeen thirteen, seventeen, fourteen,

0:50:32.000 --> 0:50:36.359
<v Speaker 2>sixteen to ten ugly game where New Orleans is not.

0:50:36.600 --> 0:50:39.440
<v Speaker 2>New Orleans is gonna get to the teams. And I

0:50:39.600 --> 0:50:42.280
<v Speaker 2>just don't know that the Chargers are scoring twenty plus.

0:50:42.560 --> 0:50:45.840
<v Speaker 2>That offense has been wholly uninspiring. So I'll take New

0:50:45.960 --> 0:50:47.080
<v Speaker 2>Orleans plus the seven.

0:50:48.000 --> 0:50:51.920
<v Speaker 3>Last one, demonsee, last one, Yes, Chicago Brin's two and

0:50:51.960 --> 0:50:54.200
<v Speaker 3>a half at Washington my favorite.

0:50:54.320 --> 0:50:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, so listen, this is my third road favorite I'm taking.

0:50:58.000 --> 0:51:01.120
<v Speaker 2>But I am also gonna mention road fats are sixteen

0:51:01.160 --> 0:51:05.359
<v Speaker 2>and two against the spread the last few weeks. And

0:51:05.440 --> 0:51:10.880
<v Speaker 2>this is a very very simple math. Jaden Daniels isn't playing,

0:51:11.320 --> 0:51:13.719
<v Speaker 2>and Marcus Mariota is not going to be able to

0:51:13.800 --> 0:51:17.480
<v Speaker 2>duplicate what he did to Carolina, that Chicago defense is

0:51:17.520 --> 0:51:21.279
<v Speaker 2>going to get after Mariota, that Mariota is not an

0:51:21.400 --> 0:51:26.880
<v Speaker 2>NFL starting caliber quarterback, Chicago off of by huge spot

0:51:27.480 --> 0:51:31.840
<v Speaker 2>bad defense in Washington, and Washington star young quarterback's not

0:51:31.880 --> 0:51:34.480
<v Speaker 2>going to be playing. The Bears are winning this game,

0:51:34.520 --> 0:51:36.640
<v Speaker 2>and they're winning this game by more than a field goal.

0:51:37.040 --> 0:51:43.760
<v Speaker 2>And so I now, if Jaden plays, I would feel

0:51:43.800 --> 0:51:48.960
<v Speaker 2>totally differently. But this line says Vegas does not think

0:51:49.040 --> 0:51:51.880
<v Speaker 2>Jaden is playing. The Bears would not be two and

0:51:51.920 --> 0:51:55.640
<v Speaker 2>a half point road favorites against Chicago if Jaden were playing.

0:51:55.680 --> 0:51:58.799
<v Speaker 2>In fact, I think i'm the Bears not be two

0:51:58.840 --> 0:52:00.719
<v Speaker 2>and a half road favorites against one Washington if Jade

0:52:00.719 --> 0:52:02.920
<v Speaker 2>were playing. In fact, I think it would be Washington

0:52:02.960 --> 0:52:05.680
<v Speaker 2>by two instead of Chicago by two. And a half.

0:52:06.040 --> 0:52:10.640
<v Speaker 3>So actually flexing this game to like a different time slot,

0:52:10.840 --> 0:52:11.759
<v Speaker 3>and now it's gonna be.

0:52:11.760 --> 0:52:14.799
<v Speaker 2>It was gonna be a yeah, it's a bummer. It

0:52:14.920 --> 0:52:18.840
<v Speaker 2>was gonna be just the regular one o'clock game with

0:52:19.000 --> 0:52:27.120
<v Speaker 2>I think Cincinnati, uh, Philadelphia being the marquee CBS game

0:52:27.160 --> 0:52:31.520
<v Speaker 2>with Nanson Romo. They flexed this one, and now that's

0:52:31.600 --> 0:52:34.839
<v Speaker 2>kind of a bummer for CBS now Nanson Romo if

0:52:35.000 --> 0:52:39.400
<v Speaker 2>Jayden doesn't play. But yeah, that is exactly what happened.

0:52:39.480 --> 0:52:42.120
<v Speaker 2>All right, So my five picks for the week, after

0:52:42.239 --> 0:52:45.319
<v Speaker 2>nine of my last ten picks had been underdogs, we

0:52:45.360 --> 0:52:48.960
<v Speaker 2>have three favorites Atlanta Road favorite of two and a

0:52:48.960 --> 0:52:51.160
<v Speaker 2>half at Tampa, Chicago Road favorite of two and a

0:52:51.160 --> 0:52:54.120
<v Speaker 2>half at Washington, Green Bay Road favorite of four at Jacksonville.

0:52:54.400 --> 0:52:56.960
<v Speaker 2>And then two big dogs, New Orleans plus seven at

0:52:56.960 --> 0:53:00.400
<v Speaker 2>the Chargers and Cleveland plus eight and a half half

0:53:00.800 --> 0:53:06.280
<v Speaker 2>at Baltimore. All right, Demons, you have four straight winning teasers,

0:53:06.760 --> 0:53:09.480
<v Speaker 2>two that we haven't yet. You know that since we

0:53:09.480 --> 0:53:12.160
<v Speaker 2>weren't on the air last week two weeks ago. Your

0:53:12.160 --> 0:53:16.000
<v Speaker 2>teaser Houston plus a half point at New England, they

0:53:16.080 --> 0:53:21.000
<v Speaker 2>blew them out. Washington plus fourteen at Baltimore. They were

0:53:21.000 --> 0:53:23.440
<v Speaker 2>in it the whole game. They ended up losing by seven.

0:53:23.840 --> 0:53:26.960
<v Speaker 2>A plus teaser, my friend, that's a great one. And

0:53:27.000 --> 0:53:30.440
<v Speaker 2>then last week, you want to talk us through last weeks.

0:53:30.520 --> 0:53:32.680
<v Speaker 3>It was a two team seven and a half point teaser.

0:53:33.440 --> 0:53:36.279
<v Speaker 3>I cheezed the I tease the Chiefs up to nine

0:53:36.440 --> 0:53:40.439
<v Speaker 3>against San Francisco and Houston up to plus ten at

0:53:40.480 --> 0:53:43.800
<v Speaker 3>Green Bay, and those both worked out pretty well.

0:53:43.719 --> 0:53:48.800
<v Speaker 2>Easy way. And both of those were covering the whole time. Yeah,

0:53:48.840 --> 0:53:51.480
<v Speaker 2>both of those were covering the entire time. So what

0:53:51.520 --> 0:53:52.799
<v Speaker 2>are we looking at this week?

0:53:53.440 --> 0:53:56.040
<v Speaker 3>So this week it's a two teamy seven point teaser

0:53:56.080 --> 0:53:57.040
<v Speaker 3>at minus one four.

0:53:57.080 --> 0:53:59.920
<v Speaker 2>Roll not seven and a half. You're going away from

0:54:00.120 --> 0:54:00.959
<v Speaker 2>seven and a half point.

0:54:01.000 --> 0:54:03.640
<v Speaker 3>The only reason I the only reason I ever go

0:54:03.719 --> 0:54:05.840
<v Speaker 3>to the half point is just to if it's like

0:54:05.920 --> 0:54:07.080
<v Speaker 3>thirteen and a half to get.

0:54:07.000 --> 0:54:09.279
<v Speaker 2>To fourteen numbers, yeah, or whatever it may be.

0:54:10.520 --> 0:54:12.840
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, So, I mean, this week we're teasing Cleveland

0:54:12.920 --> 0:54:16.080
<v Speaker 3>up to plus fifteen and a half against Baltimore, and

0:54:16.160 --> 0:54:19.800
<v Speaker 3>I'm teasing the Chiefs down to minus two and a

0:54:19.880 --> 0:54:25.160
<v Speaker 3>half at the Raiders. And I had some other teasers

0:54:25.160 --> 0:54:29.560
<v Speaker 3>in mine here that were a little chippy but you know,

0:54:29.719 --> 0:54:32.759
<v Speaker 3>I went through the process a little bit long, a

0:54:32.760 --> 0:54:34.680
<v Speaker 3>little bit longer, and this is what I came up with,

0:54:34.840 --> 0:54:37.560
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, I think this will cash. I like this

0:54:37.600 --> 0:54:37.960
<v Speaker 3>one a lot.

0:54:39.239 --> 0:54:40.400
<v Speaker 2>Can I tell you something.

0:54:42.000 --> 0:54:46.200
<v Speaker 3>A plus A plus? I don't think I mean a plus.

0:54:46.239 --> 0:54:46.879
<v Speaker 3>It is week one.

0:54:47.920 --> 0:54:52.040
<v Speaker 2>Getting the Chiefs down to two and a half is perfect,

0:54:52.440 --> 0:54:56.880
<v Speaker 2>and getting Cleveland up through not only fourteen, but fifteen

0:54:56.920 --> 0:55:00.880
<v Speaker 2>as well, which has become a slightly not a but

0:55:00.960 --> 0:55:04.240
<v Speaker 2>because two point conversions being more prevalent, it's a little

0:55:04.239 --> 0:55:06.920
<v Speaker 2>more important than it used to be. I love this,

0:55:07.600 --> 0:55:11.120
<v Speaker 2>I love, love, love this teaser, and I also love

0:55:11.520 --> 0:55:14.840
<v Speaker 2>that you didn't I was worried you were gonna tease

0:55:14.880 --> 0:55:15.360
<v Speaker 2>the Jets.

0:55:15.360 --> 0:55:19.400
<v Speaker 3>Hold on. So yeah, so I actually didn't hear what

0:55:19.440 --> 0:55:21.960
<v Speaker 3>you said for like the last five seconds. I'm sorry.

0:55:22.000 --> 0:55:24.279
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Well, I was saying I love the teaser. I

0:55:24.320 --> 0:55:26.879
<v Speaker 2>think you did great, and I but I was I

0:55:26.920 --> 0:55:30.000
<v Speaker 2>was worried you were gonna tease the Jets, because the

0:55:30.080 --> 0:55:33.000
<v Speaker 2>Jets the Jets from minus seven just to straight up

0:55:33.040 --> 0:55:35.879
<v Speaker 2>beat the Patriots. Problem is no, and I think patri

0:55:35.880 --> 0:55:38.440
<v Speaker 2>are the worst team in the league. But until the

0:55:38.560 --> 0:55:41.480
<v Speaker 2>Jets win a game, they can lose to anybody. I

0:55:41.520 --> 0:55:45.000
<v Speaker 2>know that sounds, but I'm like, I just wouldn't want

0:55:45.040 --> 0:55:48.440
<v Speaker 2>the Jets to involve. So I love this teaser. I

0:55:48.480 --> 0:55:50.920
<v Speaker 2>think this is a sharp teaser. All right, let's do

0:55:51.080 --> 0:55:54.200
<v Speaker 2>touchdown Jeanie real quick before we answer some questions.

0:55:54.719 --> 0:55:57.239
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so we're taking a break off the offer to

0:55:57.320 --> 0:56:01.839
<v Speaker 3>reassess the process TM. In the meantime, let's bring back

0:56:02.400 --> 0:56:05.880
<v Speaker 3>out the touchdown Jeanie. So, who's scoring a touchdown this week?

0:56:06.239 --> 0:56:10.680
<v Speaker 3>Between or not between? We got Kansas City Hopkins? No, no, no,

0:56:10.640 --> 0:56:13.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry. You go ahead and pick your anytime touchdown score.

0:56:13.080 --> 0:56:13.640
<v Speaker 3>I forgotten.

0:56:13.680 --> 0:56:17.800
<v Speaker 2>So the the earfine. The options are Hopkins plus one sixty,

0:56:17.920 --> 0:56:21.399
<v Speaker 2>Kelsey plus one oh five, Xavier Worthy plus one sixty five.

0:56:21.719 --> 0:56:24.240
<v Speaker 2>This is the week Travis Kelce gets in the end zone.

0:56:26.080 --> 0:56:35.800
<v Speaker 2>Uh and so that the god dog it. That's so annoying.

0:56:35.840 --> 0:56:36.440
<v Speaker 3>What happened?

0:56:36.840 --> 0:56:40.440
<v Speaker 2>Sorry, nothing, I'll I'll tell you in a minute. Uh

0:56:40.640 --> 0:56:46.440
<v Speaker 2>So Kelsey is Kelsey is my bet? There, Kelsey would

0:56:46.760 --> 0:56:49.320
<v Speaker 2>be my bet. I think he's gonna score. He kills

0:56:49.360 --> 0:56:52.040
<v Speaker 2>the Raiders. He scored four one game against the Raiders.

0:56:52.280 --> 0:56:57.120
<v Speaker 2>He had seven catches for twenty six yards and four touchdowns.

0:56:57.520 --> 0:57:02.080
<v Speaker 2>Seven catches twenty six yards four touchdowns. That picture of

0:57:02.120 --> 0:57:05.120
<v Speaker 2>me and Kelsey celebrating the Super Bowl two years ago

0:57:05.680 --> 0:57:09.240
<v Speaker 2>after the parade in the club where it says al

0:57:09.400 --> 0:57:12.880
<v Speaker 2>F and Bundy. He got that nickname because of that game,

0:57:13.920 --> 0:57:16.920
<v Speaker 2>because al Bondi once scored four touchdowns for Poul Kai.

0:57:17.040 --> 0:57:19.400
<v Speaker 2>It was an old marriage with children thing, and so

0:57:19.440 --> 0:57:22.080
<v Speaker 2>he would always talk about it, and Kelsey scored four touchdowns.

0:57:22.200 --> 0:57:25.400
<v Speaker 2>So I'll just take Kelsey plus one oh five. All right,

0:57:25.520 --> 0:57:28.200
<v Speaker 2>quick break, answer some of your questions. Next, What's right?

0:57:34.440 --> 0:57:36.840

<v Speaker 2>some listener questions Please.

0:59:21.320 --> 0:59:26.040
<v Speaker 3>Jeff Bergstorm or Bergstrom, a podcaster is never late, nor

0:59:26.160 --> 0:59:29.200
<v Speaker 3>is the early. Here arrives precisely when he means to.

0:59:30.960 --> 0:59:34.160
<v Speaker 2>That's a well done turn of phrase, Jeff. Listen, and

0:59:34.240 --> 0:59:37.000
<v Speaker 2>our producer Matt says, that's correct, and it's not because

0:59:37.040 --> 0:59:39.320
<v Speaker 2>our computer malfunction. Right Bruin over there.

0:59:39.520 --> 0:59:44.680
<v Speaker 3>Next, Eric, who says, question from a TV from a

0:59:44.720 --> 0:59:47.400
<v Speaker 3>TV product perspective, what do you think is the difference

0:59:47.840 --> 0:59:53.520
<v Speaker 3>from the Dynasty Warriors, which were super popular in Missoula ball? Oh?

0:59:53.880 --> 0:59:57.040
<v Speaker 2>So, I so, listen, I don't think people understand the

0:59:57.120 --> 1:00:02.560
<v Speaker 2>volume of threes I'm talking about, Okay, the Warriors, the

1:00:02.640 --> 1:00:08.200
<v Speaker 2>twenty eighteen Warriors, for the record, not only did they

1:00:08.200 --> 1:00:11.000
<v Speaker 2>not shoot the most threes in the league, they were

1:00:11.120 --> 1:00:17.360
<v Speaker 2>below average in three point attempts per game. Right at it,

1:00:17.680 --> 1:00:20.280
<v Speaker 2>they were twenty nine a game, which was sixteenth in

1:00:20.320 --> 1:00:24.000
<v Speaker 2>the league. The Rockets were far and away the most

1:00:24.080 --> 1:00:26.520
<v Speaker 2>at forty two a game. So this is what I'm

1:00:26.520 --> 1:00:29.720
<v Speaker 2>talking about, Okay. In twenty eighteen the most in the

1:00:29.760 --> 1:00:33.160
<v Speaker 2>league were Rockets with twenty eight with forty two a game,

1:00:33.400 --> 1:00:35.919
<v Speaker 2>And that was when I asked Daryl about it. The

1:00:36.000 --> 1:00:40.400
<v Speaker 2>previous year, the highest was the Rockets at forty. Number

1:00:40.480 --> 1:00:45.760
<v Speaker 2>two was thirty three. Okay, so seven years ago one

1:00:45.880 --> 1:00:49.080
<v Speaker 2>team took more than thirty four to threes a game.

1:00:49.320 --> 1:00:54.600
<v Speaker 2>All right, Now, let's jump ahead to last year and

1:00:54.880 --> 1:00:57.280
<v Speaker 2>I can pull it up for you right now. So

1:00:57.600 --> 1:01:00.880
<v Speaker 2>and keep in mind those Dynastic Warriors were shoot but

1:01:01.040 --> 1:01:04.120
<v Speaker 2>seven years ago one team shot more than thirty four

1:01:04.200 --> 1:01:07.959
<v Speaker 2>threes a game. Last year, Demansey, you know how many

1:01:07.960 --> 1:01:11.720
<v Speaker 2>teams shot more than thirty four threes a game? Seventeen

1:01:13.960 --> 1:01:18.280
<v Speaker 2>seventeen teams. So it's just the game has just changed

1:01:19.720 --> 1:01:25.920
<v Speaker 2>and so massively, and again through one game this year

1:01:26.600 --> 1:01:31.080
<v Speaker 2>we had we've had seven of the twenty four teams

1:01:31.080 --> 1:01:34.760
<v Speaker 2>that have played shot more than forty threes in their

1:01:34.800 --> 1:01:37.600
<v Speaker 2>opening night. I just don't think it's good for So

1:01:37.640 --> 1:01:40.560
<v Speaker 2>it's not about the Celtics. It's about this. The Celtics

1:01:40.560 --> 1:01:43.840
<v Speaker 2>are the best team and right now they're playing mathematically

1:01:43.880 --> 1:01:48.880
<v Speaker 2>the smartest, so the only chance anyone's going to have

1:01:49.600 --> 1:01:52.320
<v Speaker 2>is to do the same thing. And it's just like

1:01:53.240 --> 1:01:55.520
<v Speaker 2>it's just not good for the sport. I know, I'm right,

1:01:56.520 --> 1:01:56.919
<v Speaker 2>all right.

1:01:57.000 --> 1:02:02.400
<v Speaker 3>Next uh, Steven Weather says, who in the year with

1:02:02.480 --> 1:02:05.400
<v Speaker 3>more wins Demonse's teasers or Trevor.

1:02:05.200 --> 1:02:10.880
<v Speaker 2>Lawrence Monse's teasers. Yeah, I was about to say these teasers.

1:02:12.320 --> 1:02:14.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, there's no question about it.

1:02:16.640 --> 1:02:21.240
<v Speaker 3>Justin next week. Next week, got Scott Frasier. What does

1:02:21.280 --> 1:02:23.760
<v Speaker 3>Buffalo need to at least have a chance to get

1:02:23.760 --> 1:02:27.800
<v Speaker 3>past Kansas City or Baltimore this year? Cooper was a start?

1:02:28.000 --> 1:02:29.040
<v Speaker 3>What else do they need?

1:02:32.840 --> 1:02:37.840
<v Speaker 2>I listen, Buffalo has a chance. They have a chance.

1:02:38.000 --> 1:02:40.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't think there's more that that they are gonna

1:02:40.400 --> 1:02:43.040
<v Speaker 2>be able to add. They're just listen. They're gonna need

1:02:43.120 --> 1:02:45.000
<v Speaker 2>Josh Allen to have the game of his life in

1:02:45.080 --> 1:02:48.480
<v Speaker 2>January and for the Chiefs to stumble like I'm the

1:02:48.840 --> 1:02:50.920
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs Bills thing they play in a month. We can

1:02:50.960 --> 1:02:55.960
<v Speaker 2>talk about it more there and then the Ryan Fitzgerald

1:02:55.960 --> 1:02:58.000
<v Speaker 2>has an interesting question, So go ahead.

1:02:58.560 --> 1:03:01.000
<v Speaker 3>Are the Bucks more likely to make the Eastern Conference

1:03:01.000 --> 1:03:02.720
<v Speaker 3>finals or miss the playoffs?

1:03:03.880 --> 1:03:05.520
<v Speaker 2>Make the I mean, listen, I don't think they're I

1:03:05.560 --> 1:03:07.960
<v Speaker 2>don't think they're gonna make these reference finals, but you're

1:03:07.960 --> 1:03:10.560
<v Speaker 2>not missing the playoffs with a healthy honest, So the

1:03:10.640 --> 1:03:17.360
<v Speaker 2>answer is make the conference. He did a weird thing,

1:03:17.760 --> 1:03:20.640
<v Speaker 2>which wherever weird, Yeah, we don't win the championship, they

1:03:20.720 --> 1:03:23.360
<v Speaker 2>might get rid of me. It's like nobody. I mean,

1:03:23.400 --> 1:03:25.440
<v Speaker 2>I feel like that's you letting them know if they

1:03:25.440 --> 1:03:27.840
<v Speaker 2>don't win a championship, you might want to leave. We'd

1:03:28.080 --> 1:03:31.160
<v Speaker 2>weird spots. That's a that's another one of the prongs

1:03:31.160 --> 1:03:33.040
<v Speaker 2>of the NBA that I didn't even get into. All Right,
