WEBVTT - Better Betting with Brad Evans 0:00:03.840 --> 0:00:08.440 From the King of Sports Books comes the Key Sports 0:00:08.520 --> 0:00:18.840 podcast Unwashed, presented by the MGM. Here's your host, Jerry 0:00:18.920 --> 0:00:29.720 Ferrara and Olivia Harlan Decker. Super Bowl seven is set 0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:33.640 my Kansas City Chiefs first, the Philadelphia Eagles Andy Reid 0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:36.960 Bowl Sunday, February twelve, Glendale, Arizona, and we have two 0:00:36.960 --> 0:00:40.800 episodes before kickoff, this one and the next one. We 0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:46.000 will be on site in person together. Jerry, pack your sunscreen. 0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:48.159 Are you ready? I am ready. I can't believe we're 0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:50.240 actually going to be, as the kids say, I r 0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:53.280 L in real life doing this show, because I don't know. 0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:57.880 We've done twentysomething episodes and uh, I'm enjoying it on zoom. 0:00:57.880 --> 0:00:59.720 But it's gonna be really nice to actually be able 0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:01.840 to look each other in the eyes and have a 0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:04.520 debate or something in person. I can't wait. It'll be 0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:07.720 really nice to not like do the everyone does on 0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:09.880 zoom where you accidentally cut someone off over and over 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:12.520 and go, oh sorry, sorry, it's like that never happened? 0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:15.080 Done that? How many times? I mean we've gotten pretty 0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:18.440 good though, like our flow has gotten really good over time, 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:22.040 but yeah, probably two dozen times at least where we 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:25.319 say the same thing at the same time and someone's delayed. Yeah, 0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:28.200 luckily our editors make it look smoother than it usually is. 0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:31.600 But hey, this is, i mean, such a good game. 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:34.880 It's kind of annoying that there's two weeks to Super 0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:38.240 Bowl because these storylines just get hammered. Obviously, we have 0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:41.880 the First Brothers playing against each other. It reminded me 0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:44.920 the First Brothers coaching against each other. The Horrible was 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:47.960 I think almost a bigger story. Um with the first 0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:51.400 black starting quarterbacks, that's huge. Andy Reid going against his 0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:54.720 former team. So many storylines to sink our teeth into. 0:01:54.880 --> 0:02:00.200 But Jerry, something very important. What about barbecue versus cheese steaks. 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:03.760 That's a great question, you would think me. I've not 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:06.840 ever been to Kansas City. I'm hoping next game, that 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:10.720 your next playoff game that you're reporting on on the sidelines, 0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:12.760 I could maybe meet you and Sam out there and 0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:15.440 catch a game. My personal opinion, you would think it 0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:17.320 would be Philly because I'm kind of close to Philly 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:19.080 with New York and all that. But no, give me 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:23.400 barbecue all day, oh day. It's not even cheese steaks. 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:27.440 Great fine, like good barbecue the best I know. I 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:30.160 do love a cheese steak, but barbecue is more variety, 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:33.880 so I think food wise, barbecue wins that one. Okay, well, 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:36.799 you can obviously get all the fluff elsewhere. On this show, 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:40.920 we're bringing you expert advice and analysis on betting the 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:43.760 Big Game. We've got Brad Evans, the host of Live 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:46.120 on the Line and the ep of gaming content at 0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:49.080 Balley Sports. He's been on before. He's joining us to 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:54.120 talk props, parlay's, and all things betting surrounding the Big Game. Look, already, 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:56.320 we've had some line movement right now, it's the Eagles 0:02:56.360 --> 0:03:00.400 minus to Jerry first impression. My first impression is I 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:03.600 gotta go at the Eagles here, only because I still 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:05.840 Mahomes play the phenomenal game. And we'll get into the 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:09.320 actual breakdown, but my first instinct is to go the Eagles. 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:12.000 They actually I picked Eagles Bengals to make the Super Bowl, 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:15.480 so I was off, and I also screwed up. You know, 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:19.280 I've hitting these ten point parlay's all year long, great record. 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:21.920 I did a little seven point parlay and I just 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:25.320 thought they'd both be close games. So I basically knocked 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:29.000 the Bengals down, and I knocked the Niners up thinking 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:32.160 would be a close game, and the Eagles totally, you know, 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:35.960 with that blowout just crushed my teaser. So I'm still 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:38.360 leaning Eagles, although you'd be you really be a fool 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:40.960 to bet against Mahomes. But my initial thoughts are Eagles, 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:42.880 and do you like it as long as it stays 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:45.560 under a field goal? I love it. I do think 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:48.200 it's gonna be a close game. I actually have some 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:51.280 initial bets. It'll be fun to see where Brad Evans 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:53.520 and Pete, you and me, where we all are and 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:55.680 our thoughts and picks now, because I just think it 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:59.120 will change so much once we are live at the 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:02.400 sports book in Phoenix doing this in person. I think 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:05.080 it's gonna we have the we're reserving the right to 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:10.600 change our picks in the coming week, and the Chiefs 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:12.880 have so many injuries. We gotta dig into that as well. 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:15.520 But you mentioned Peter Andrews joining us, so that'll be 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:18.160 our next betting segments. So this whole show, we are 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:21.560 really getting into the groundwork again two weeks out. But 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:24.960 next week in person is when you can finally hold 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:26.840 our feet to the fire and hold us to what 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:28.960 we say, but right now, it's just fun, Jerry, do 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:31.400 you want to close some things out in these conference championships? 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:33.120 We we touched on it a bit, but there's a 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:35.760 lot to get to. Yeah. I just feel like, uh 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:39.760 and and congrats to the Chiefs in you your second 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:41.839 team made it, so you know it's gonna be a 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:44.000 fun sue role for you. I tried not to let 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:47.799 the refs kind of overshadow the games. The Philly Niners 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:49.640 game was just a complete bummer. It just was a 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:52.960 complete bummer. The injury, it just and it's no one's fault. 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.120 I mean, you actually got to give credit to the Eagles. 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:58.200 They forced that fumble, they forced that injury. It was 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:01.240 all clean and well played. So got that goes down 0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:03.880 with the defense. And I still say, just I have 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:08.880 not seen two lines dominate the way the Eagles offensive 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:11.640 and defensive lines dominate a game. And they've been doing 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:13.840 it all year. They had a little slide when Hurts 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:16.560 was out, So that's why I'm still leaning Eagles, because 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:18.400 to me, that's the thing that stands out most as 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:21.800 great as Mahomes and Borrow were, and Hurts was the 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:24.280 thing that jumped off the screen to meet the entire 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:29.880 weekend is how great both Eagles lines are. And uh, 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:32.120 I think that would hold up in any era, both 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:33.720 these lines. So that's the thing that jumped off the 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.440 TV to me all weekend. Well, let's stick with that game. 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:39.040 Obviously we're not having this conversation. I think if Fred 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.720 Warner stayed healthy and if brock Purty stayed healthy. So 0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:46.040 on the forty Niners six offensive snap, Hassan Reddick strip 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.560 sacks brock Purty injuring his elbow. We now know it's 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:51.080 a u c L. He's gonna have surgery, and the 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:54.320 forty Niners had to turn to their fourth string quarterback 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:58.120 backup Josh Johnson. Although my first thought, because I've covered 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:00.640 Christian McCaffrey in college and a long time, I'm I'm like, 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:03.840 Christian McCaffrey has played quarterback, he can do it, And 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.360 wouldn't that have been And I know he lined up there, 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:08.120 I think for a couple of plays, But would that 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:12.520 not have been such an amazing story? This mid season acquisition, 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:16.440 this kind of you know, once very heralded, now kind 0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:19.440 of catching his stride on his childhood favorite team and 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:22.599 team his dad played on. And if he were to 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:25.520 save the day, and like, really, ball out at quarterback? 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:27.640 Would that not have been the best story? Look, he 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:31.160 almost did his run, his tackle breaking run to make 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:33.680 it seven seven to tie the game before the I 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:35.520 think it was before the injury. Maybe it wasn't. I'm 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:38.440 not even sure at this point, but yeah, he definitely 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:41.800 he was ready to play. And we need McCaffrey on 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:44.359 this stage to truly see how great he is. And 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:46.360 I do think he showed up. But I mean, all 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:50.159 due respect, I don't think you want him throwing the 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:52.719 ball against the Eagles defense. And even if you do 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:54.240 line them up back there, you know it's going to 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:57.440 be a wildcat run. They'll put eleven in the box. 0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:00.120 It wouldn't have been pretty. So I just think at 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:03.240 the minute parody went down, there's Josh Johnson. I think 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:06.440 Josh john maybe kept a little closer. I just think 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:08.560 the game was over a minute party went down, game 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:11.560 was over. Also weird early in the game, the punt 0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:15.440 hitting that skycam line punt hitting the skycam. I know 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:18.240 a lot of people yesterday and today are talking about 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:21.360 challenging the Vanta Smith catch, and I you know, I 0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:23.640 heard Shanahan talk about it in depth, and he didn't 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:25.920 get a good look at the replay because it just 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:28.200 showed one and it was in conclusive. I mean so 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:32.920 many things. I still again all valid points, I don't think, 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:34.920 and I just think that the Eagles are the best 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:37.280 team in football and and I think it's going to 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:41.760 take a herculean effort from Mahomes and the Chiefs to 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:45.280 actually stay with them. After that Davante Smith catch, I 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:47.800 was getting on a plane, I was flying and I 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:50.400 missed it, and Peter Andrew texted me like, this is 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:53.400 the worst first quarter of football I've ever seen, and 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:55.559 you as a big forty Niners fan, And I said, 0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:59.400 I said, why, what's happening? He said, the Eagles just 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:01.800 scored on an incomplete pass And I go, how do 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:05.080 you do that? I took him pretty literally on that, 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:08.080 and he's like, yeah, well, Also, I want to give 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:10.400 a shout out to my sister in law. I'm over 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:13.040 here in Ohio where bet MGM is now prominent. She 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:18.680 hit both first touchdown of the game. Really yeah, she 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:24.240 had Miles Sanders and Travis Kelsey first touchdown. So if 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:27.320 she and like, I'm a big believer in people getting 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:29.400 hot from all over you never know who it's going 0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:31.000 to be. Could be Brad Evans, it could be my 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:33.760 sister in law. I don't think for one second I'm 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:36.000 not riding her pick. And maybe I'll give that pick 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:39.439 out next Tuesday on first touchdown score of the Super 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:43.280 Bowl because on a weekend for her, not for me, unfortunately. Okay, 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:46.199 Then getting to the second half, Josh Johnson suffers a 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:49.920 concussion take taken out of the game. Reddick had three tackles, 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.960 two sacks, a quarterback hit, a tackle for loss of force, fumble, 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:56.480 and a recovered fumble and got a quarterback out of 0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:59.000 the game. So I think, I think you've got to 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:03.600 love him. Eagles defense, don't think for one second because 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:06.200 I've been a big Hassan Reddick fan all year. He 0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:09.360 has been the most terrifying edge rusher that I've seen 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:11.280 this year because of all the you know, Giants played 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:15.200 him three times. Obviously, Boss is unbelievable. Reddick is I 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:18.760 just number seven is everywhere. I am a hundred percent 0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:22.640 betting some money on him plus three thousand for Super 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:24.080 Bowl m v P. I know we don't get a 0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:26.840 lot of defensive Super Bowl MVPs. I don't know was 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:30.000 the last one. Was it a cowboy or a raider? 0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:33.120 I don't even remember the last defensive Super Bowl MVP. 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:35.439 It has happened, just not in a while. I'm betting 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:38.520 Hassan Reddick because that could be a close game. I 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:40.600 think Reddick, and with my home is not really mobile, 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:43.840 he could have three or four sacks, a fumble, recovery, 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:46.400 a pick. I am betting Hassan Reddick super Bowl m 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:49.320 v P, not a big amount, A nice A nice sprinkle. 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:55.839 What's a nice sprinkle? Ever? Really talk about what your 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:59.240 unit is. I don't know what my unit is. Wants 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:00.880 to have it the side it? Yeah, because I'm gonna 0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:03.720 I'm gonna go through all the picks and stuff like that. 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:06.440 I just know that is something that's on my board. 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:08.680 I don't know if it's going to be hunter Bucks 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:14.960 ten bucks. It's going to be something, aren't I nosy? No? No, 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:16.559 I like it look off the air. I'm gonna be like, 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:19.400 I'm only betting it for two dollars to sound like 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:22.400 a soft but no, I'm definitely gonna take some. I'm 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:24.920 too bad at math. I will only bet a hundred 0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:28.079 bucks because the math is easy, right, hunter Bucks wins 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:32.640 you three dollars Reddick Super Bowl m v P. Oh Man, 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:35.440 I disagree that. Look I like Patrick Mahomess m v 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:38.680 P based on the momentum we saw from last weekend, 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:40.960 like the crowd chanting m v P. He's putting up 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:44.760 a herculean performance. The way he won the game, the 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:46.839 way he took that late hit and got him in 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:50.560 field goal range. I mean, like, he's such a dude, 0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:54.000 and there's no way he's not winning m v P. 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:57.080 And then if the Eagles win, I don't know, I 0:10:57.080 --> 0:10:58.840 don't know what I mean, Like it could be heard, 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:00.679 it could be I could tell at least see like 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:05.280 a mile Sanders touchdown and uh a gain Well touchdown, 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:09.079 and it's sort of like not enough offensively to declare 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:12.240 you were clearly the m v P of this win. 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:15.640 If they do win offensively, That's why I just really 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:20.680 love Reddit because he could be absolutely dominant on the devaside. 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:24.440 And also everyone's talked about deal side, late hit and 0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:26.840 all that, and he played an incredible game. And shoutouts 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:28.560 to b J Hill for sticking by him in the 0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:32.199 postgame presser, and shoutouts to a side for just sitting 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:34.720 up there and taking all the questions like he you know, 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:38.959 after emotions that I probably don't think I've ever felt 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:41.520 outside of my kids being born, and we're you know, 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:43.520 he's he went through it. So but what I will 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:47.600 say is, Mahomes made that play happen. So you could 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:50.040 say it was oh, that that play, cause Mahomes had 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:52.559 the first down. I know they only had eight seconds left, 0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:54.440 no time out, so who knows what would have happened 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:58.080 that being said with with a busted ankle, he turned 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:01.000 the corners and all to that, and and my body 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:02.960 and I were talking about it playing hoops this morning. 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:05.120 We played in our little pickup game. We both had 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:08.600 high ankle sprains. I feel like the running, yes it hurts, 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:10.960 but the stopping I think, and you if you really 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:13.600 watched Mahomes, he was fine once he got like his 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:16.640 wheels going, but trying to come to a stop with 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:20.720 a busted high ankle sprain is so so painful. So 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:23.160 Mahomes made that play happen. He got an edge with 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:26.320 one leg and got out of bounds. So you know, 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:27.800 But also I play the hell of a game. He's 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:31.000 an incredible player and people need to back the heck off. 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:34.920 And I like that his teammates are now being more 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:38.120 vocal about that. Well, everything you just mentioned about Mahomes 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:40.280 is why I think he'll be m v P. But 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:42.720 Jalen hurts, as you mentioned, if the Eagles win, obviously 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:45.360 depending what kind of game he has. But he didn't 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:47.680 have to do too much because the Eagles, as you 0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:51.000 have mentioned top to bottom, are so talented and they 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:52.760 can score in so many ways. They can get stops 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:56.560 in so many ways. But he was fifteen one yards, 0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:59.800 ran for thirty nine yards and a touchdown on eleven carries. 0:12:59.840 --> 0:13:02.200 He is great on his feet. But look, fans thought 0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:05.199 Mike Shanahan should have done more, including go to the 0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:09.160 Wildcat with McCaffrey like we talked about. Um, I guess 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:11.800 I can't. I love you, said Mike Shanahan. You mean 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:14.160 Kyle his dad. Mike his dad might have went to 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:19.920 the Wildcat. Mike might have gone to the Wildcat. Kyle Shanahan. Yeah, 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:23.319 I feel like I can't quite like give the Eagles 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:27.120 their flowers because of what they had to beat. You know, 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:30.160 I know it's not their fault, but I can't just 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:32.760 like stand in rally for the Eagles quite yet because 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:36.680 of the how they walked in now to the Super 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:40.280 They have not been tested in a very very long time. 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:43.080 You could argue that, you know, and even that Giants 0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:45.680 the last game of the regular season, which the Giants 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:48.240 didn't need and played all their second stringers, and the 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:50.840 Eagles are clearly not going to show anything. They would 0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:53.800 try to win that game to secure the one seed 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:55.760 without getting it hurt. They didn't show anything, and a 0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:58.040 lot of people tried to panic. All the Eagles didn't 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:00.360 look good versus the second unit of the aience that 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:05.720 Syriani's played this thing perfectly. They're pretty healthy, you know, 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:09.120 Lane Lane Johnson not so much, and I know, you 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:12.400 know hurts everyone's banged up, but for relative like health 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:14.680 for a team at this point in the season, they're 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:17.760 relatively healthy, which is all you needed. So but yeah, 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:21.800 they haven't been tested in weeks weeks. Again, it shouldn't 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:24.320 be a knock on them. But I I also am 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:27.840 not just here to jump on the Eagles bandwagon quite yet, 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:31.400 just a typo in the forty n season though ironically 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:34.000 we had just been talking about this last week. If 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:37.520 brock Purty goes to the Super Bowl for sure, is 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:41.360 he automatically the starter next season. Now we have a 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:43.680 real conversation because now he's gonna have surgery on his 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:47.080 throwing elbow, and I'm sure you know he's a young dude. 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:49.120 These guys have the best staff in the world, like 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:52.360 they he'll be fine, he'll recover fine. But it does 0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:57.040 beg the conversation of is it a competition. There's a 0:14:57.080 --> 0:15:01.280 lot that it's like an incredible almost a SHPOs season 0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:04.120 one cliffhanger of a show that you really really like 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:06.880 and you're really into and you're like, how is this 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:09.880 going to end? And like the finale was really good, 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:12.640 didn't wrap up the whole first season of the show, 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:15.360 but it made you say, gosh, now, I just when 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:17.320 a season two gonna happen. It's like waiting for the 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:19.800 next season of Succession to come out. So that's what 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:21.800 it's gonna be like, waiting to see how this purty 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:24.920 thing plays out. I just think it's all gonna add. 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:27.000 We've talked about this many times. It's gonna be an 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:33.280 awesome free agency sort of quarterback speed dating round. Uh 0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:35.200 in the off season. I think I think it's gonna 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:38.800 be really really fun. Absolutely so over to the a 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:41.040 f C and we've been double dipping because it's hard 0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:42.920 to just not talk about this weekend and bring in 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:45.920 Mahomes in some capacity. But my question to you is 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:50.520 Bengals Chiefs now as a rivalry Considering all four games 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:53.760 between these two star young quarterbacks have been decided by 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:57.040 three points, Mahomes finally getting his first one in the series, 0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:02.920 and the talk and of postgame interviews and all of 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:06.400 the drama and burrow Head and there's a political figure 0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:09.480 involved with the mayor of Cincinnati. Do you feel like 0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:13.720 this rivalry is now the biggest in the NFL. Definitely 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:15.800 in the a f C. Obviously, I feel like Josh 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:17.800 Allen might be the odd man out there, but yeah, 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:20.600 it is because the NFC just doesn't have the quarterback 0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:22.800 matchups to back it up. So yes, I do think 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:25.960 it's like this one's personal. It's personal. Couple of things 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:28.160 on this. So I do some work for the Knicks 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:31.320 with Knicks Gaming and I got to learn under a 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:33.840 woman named Kristen Berner who was an executive for MSG. 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:37.280 She was incredible, taught me a lot and she very much. 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:40.560 During one of the two K League video game tournaments, 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:43.680 like I was kind of trash talking one of the players, 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:45.840 and she very much like she's like that guy, you 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:49.040 don't talk trash to you talk trash to any the 0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:52.280 other ones him No, because it's too much. And I 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:56.000 feel like the Bengals all week long. I get it's 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:58.320 like an alpha move their show, but I just think 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:01.800 it was the wrong time and the wrong bunch of dudes. 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:04.720 So yeah, the mayor getting by the way, that was corny. 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:07.560 Mayor like that is. I just if I was the 0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:09.960 mayor of any city that's competing for a Super Bowl, 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:12.400 I would be at home praying. I wouldn't be out 0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:15.720 in front doing Borrow is your daddy? That is? So 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:18.320 that was so corny. That was all they like they 0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:21.720 deserved to lose for that. That was terrible, terrible. I 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:24.359 hated that. I hated it. On that note, I know 0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:27.360 I'm skipping ahead, but we've got to insert it right 0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:31.800 here are fantastic audible of the week. It's the Chiefs 0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:37.880 tight end Travis Kelsey. Take it away to Travis. Hey, 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:41.119 I've got some wise words for that Cincinnati mayor. No, 0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:47.200 you'll roll and shut your mouth. You're your brony. You 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:58.199 kinna find you, all right. So Jerry, I mentioned earlier 0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:00.480 the Chief's injuries. A lot of this happened in the 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:02.680 second half of the game, and I know we've got 0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:08.280 two weeks until the Super Bowl. However, my concerns go 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:12.080 beyond Patrick Mahomes. It goes beyond Travis Kelsey's back, because 0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:16.360 the Chiefs lost three receivers in that game. Caldarius Tony 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:20.359 McCole Hardman, who had finally come back first game since November, 0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:22.680 and that was a huge deal. We thought he was 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:24.640 coming back in the game. I did the Jacksonville game 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:27.400 before and no can do. He had a setback anyways, 0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:30.080 Candarius Tony McCole Hardman, and that was hard to see 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:33.280 because he's gripping his abs, which was his injury. And 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:37.120 Juju Smith Schuster. So three receivers, not to mention linebacker 0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:41.119 Willie Gay and cornerback Lagarius Need. That happened early in 0:18:41.119 --> 0:18:45.840 the game. I mean, Chiefs took a beating and their leader, 0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:48.240 their start. All people could talk about all week was 0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:51.680 Patrick Mahomes ankle and they've really got their work cut 0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:53.359 out for him and the next two weeks get healthy. 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:55.359 So that's got to be monitored they do. I know, 0:18:55.440 --> 0:18:59.080 we always complain, Uh wow, that week when there's no football. 0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:01.440 It's like it's oh tough, And I don't know why 0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:03.720 on earth the Phoenix Open. I think it's formerly the 0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:06.280 Waste Management Open. Why are you still on the Super 0:19:06.280 --> 0:19:08.640 Bowl Sunday weeken. I get it, it's awesome that said, 0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:10.640 but you should be the weekend before give us something 0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:13.080 to watch. It's crazy the amount. I'm not surprised that 0:19:13.119 --> 0:19:16.639 the Tony injury, he's perpetually hurt. He's going back to 0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:19.480 his days with the Giants. Just you play a great game, yeah, 0:19:19.520 --> 0:19:21.960 I just that doesn't surprise me. I feel bad for 0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:24.359 hard Man. What I still can't believe. And this is 0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:26.959 why I when my sister in law sent me her 0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:30.399 first anytime score, the first time first touchdown score a thing, 0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:33.200 I'm like, there's no way Kelsey scoring this game. There's 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:36.680 just not How are you not triple teaming Kelsey. There's 0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:39.800 no way that the Bengals will any score the first 0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:41.959 touchdown of the game. So I think as long as 0:19:41.960 --> 0:19:43.679 you have Kelsey, you have a chance. I love to 0:19:43.760 --> 0:19:46.520 check out, but yeah, it's the training staff. I think 0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:49.080 everyone has their eyes on the Chiefs training staff in 0:19:49.119 --> 0:19:52.159 the next ten days because they got their work cut out. 0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:55.360 They got to get those those players healthy, they might 0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:59.000 collectively win Super Bowl MVP. And I know we talked 0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:02.600 a lot about Reddick, but also shout outs to Chris Jones. 0:20:02.640 --> 0:20:06.000 He was incredible. The Chiefs pass rush was better than 0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:09.160 the Bengals pass rush. I know the Bengals offensive line 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:11.800 is a makeshift. We thought they figured it out versus 0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:13.640 the Bills. That might have just been a one off 0:20:13.680 --> 0:20:17.639 because Jones was all over the place. Okay, before we 0:20:17.680 --> 0:20:19.360 get to unleash, I just have to ask you one 0:20:19.359 --> 0:20:21.720 more thing, Jerry, what did you think about the Empire 0:20:21.760 --> 0:20:24.800 State Building lit up green and red? You're a New 0:20:24.880 --> 0:20:27.600 York guy, was that personal? I don't understand. I know 0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:29.600 we don't. We don't curse often on this show, but 0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:33.560 what the fuck? That's what I said, Like what, I 0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:36.479 didn't know if it was real my being trolled because 0:20:36.680 --> 0:20:39.160 I lived, you know, in Williamsburg. I had a great 0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:40.800 little view of the Empire State Building. I used to 0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:43.160
