1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: Wow.

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 2: Wow, Hey everybody, It's Thursday, February eighth, twenty twenty four.

3
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,240
Speaker 2: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast, where we're getting

4
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 2: our popcorn ready to me your man MG Marcus a

5
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 2: Grand joined by Michael f Florio, and here we are.

6
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 2: We are. How many more sleeps? There's three more sleeps

7
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 2: until Super Bowl fifty eighth. And I don't know about you,

8
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 2: but judging from my social media timelines and all the

9
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 2: questions and activities being asked around there, it's time. We

10
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 2: just need to play this game now.

11
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I don't know how you're so

12
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: calm and everything. Like, I understand you've seen your team

13
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: play in the Super Bowl before, something I haven't had

14
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: the privilege of doing yet. But I keep thinking like,

15
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: if the Bills are playing this Sunday, I would be

16
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: like a nervous wreck. I'd probably be reading about it

17
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: all all day. You're very calm, in like kind of

18
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: zen right now.

19
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 2: H Yeah. I mean I think I think some of

20
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 2: it is, you know, when I get closer to game time,

21
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 2: then those nerves start to kick in, you know. I

22
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 2: don't know, I feel like we've been talking about this

23
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: game for two weeks. I just kind of want it

24
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 2: to happen. I think I'm more just anticipating getting to

25
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 2: the end of the day. But for now, for now,

26
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 2: it's fine, like you know, but talk to me again,

27
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 2: like Sunday at about you know, three o'clock, about half

28
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 2: an hour or so before kickoff, and then we'll see

29
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 2: how I feel about it.

30
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: I know it's very different than three years ago when

31
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: these two teams matched up, But does that give you

32
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: extra incentive to want to win? Are you more nervous

33
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: knowing like, hey, we've already lost to these guys before, Like,

34
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: how does that feel?

35
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 2: There's definitely that. I mean, I think there's a little

36
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 2: bit of, Hey, man, like the Niners led that game

37
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 2: into the fourth quarter, and there's a little bit of

38
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 2: and this one kind of slipped away. I think you

39
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 2: said that about both of their last couple of Super Bowls, right.

40
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 2: They got close against Baltimore and had a shot late,

41
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: couldn't get it done, ended up losing. They were leading

42
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: into the fourth quarter against Kansas City, had a shot

43
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: to take the lead and Jimmy Garoppolo overthrows Emmanuel Sanders,

44
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 2: which would have been a sure touchdown. So it's there's

45
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 2: a little bit of like, hey, this is a chance

46
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 2: to maybe sort of write those those missed opportunities. Think

47
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 2: for forty nine er fans, there's a little bit of

48
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 2: kind of comparing the franchise to other franchises. I mean,

49
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 2: you know, the Niners are sitting on five. They've had

50
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 2: a couple of chances to get to six, you know,

51
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 2: and that that means something to the fan base about

52
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 2: kind of counting rings and comparing them to other franchises. So, uh,

53
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 2: there's very much in an aspect of hey, this is

54
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 2: another this is another chance. I mean, the Niners until

55
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 2: they had lost to Baltimore, the Niners were undefeated in

56
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 2: Super Bowls. They had been five to oher. Uh, they've

57
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 2: lost their last two. So it is a little bit

58
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 2: of like, yeah, it's a chance to maybe to avenge

59
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: a loss for a few years ago against Kansas City.

60
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 2: It's also a chance to break a Super Bowl losing

61
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: streak and to add one more, one more championship to

62
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:09,959
Speaker 2: the to the trophy case a little bit. So I

63
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 2: think there's a lot of that in play for Niner

64
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 2: fans right now.

65
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: It makes sense. Although I'm of the mindset that if

66
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: you weren't alive to see a championship. I don't think

67
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: you should claim it.

68
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 2: Oh that's interesting. Well, fortunately I've been alive for all

69
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 2: of the forty nine Ers championship, so I guess I

70
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: can claim all five of them. That's interesting. I'm gonna

71
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 2: go back to my Lakers fans friends and be like,

72
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 2: you can't claim the seventeen trophies that the Lakers have

73
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 2: because you aren't alive for most of them.

74
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: So, like, I have a Jet fan friend who is like, well,

75
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: at least we've won a super Bowl, and I'm like,

76
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: you were your dad was a kid when they wanted like,

77
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: what are we doing here? You can't claim that.

78
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 2: That's funny. Although I say this, and I claim all

79
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 2: of USC's national championships in football, even though I was

80
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 2: not around or you know, at least affiliated with the

81
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 2: school for a good number of them. But I claimed

82
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 2: them all anyway. Whatever. Anyway, obviously, if you haven't figured

83
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 2: it out, we're talking about the Super Bowl. Super Bowl

84
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 2: fifty eight just a couple of days away. We're going

85
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 2: to go through and just kind of highlight a lot

86
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 2: of the big questions. We'll do a few more or

87
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 2: lesson we'll do some fun halftime type stuff. Then we'll

88
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 2: give you our DFS lineups, and of course we will

89
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 2: make our predictions for the game on Sunday at Allegiance Stadium.

90
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,239
Speaker 2: But I wanted to start with some non Super Bowl

91
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: news and that coming out of Los Angeles. We talked

92
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 2: previously about the Chargers hiring Jim Harbaugh as their head coach,

93
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 2: and at the time we said, well, our judgments will

94
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 2: be reserved until we see who the offensive coordinator is

95
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 2: going to be. One of the names that we floated

96
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 2: out in our conversation was Greg Roman, and lo and behold,

97
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 2: it is Greg Roman who has been hired as the

98
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:56,559
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Chargers. So we said

99
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 2: that it would be worrisome for Justin Herbert. If Roman

100
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: will the guy, Roman is the guy? Are we worried

101
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 2: for Justin Herbert?

102
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: Very much so.

103
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 2: So.

104
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: Greg Roman has been an OC in this league for

105
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: ten seasons that we know. He was under under Jim

106
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: Harbo in uh San Francisco. He had those two years

107
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: with the Buffalo Bills and then four years with the

108
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens. Now, granted, he always has had a Russian

109
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: quarterback right like Kaepernick. We know Lamar Jackson, I'm double checking.

110
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: I believe his two seasons in Buffalo. Yeah, they were

111
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor years, so always had a mobile quarterback. But

112
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: every single year that this guy has been in OC,

113
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: his offense has been top ten in rushing attempts and

114
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: rushing yards. Meanwhile, passing wise, he finished ninth in twenty

115
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: twenty one. That was the year that Lamar was hurt

116
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: and they were playing a lot of comeback. Besides that,

117
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: you look at it at thirty one, thirty one, thirty two,

118
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: twenty nine, thirty one, thirty two, thirty two, twenty eight,

119
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: like it's not going and this this lines up with

120
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: what Jim has done his whole career. It's gonna be

121
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: their run heavy system. Herbert maybe could get by an efficiency,

122
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: but I think he is very much so now like

123
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: he's not even in the question for a top five

124
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: fantasy quarterback. I think it is more of a question

125
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: is he in the top ten? Is he in that

126
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: group just outside the top ten where we know he

127
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 1: has the upside to be a lot better that I

128
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: still need to kind of determine. But with quarterback being

129
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: so deep, Marcus, I can tell you right now. And

130
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: I'm someone who is bullish about Justin Herbert this year.

131
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 1: I do not see myself drafting him much next year.

132
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just think it's gonna be worrisome. I mean,

133
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 2: so we throw in that Greg Roman is coming in

134
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 2: with what has traditionally, as you mentioned, been a very

135
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 2: run heavy offense. We're also looking at who're gonna be

136
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 2: the pass catchers there in Los Angeles. I mean, what

137
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 2: happens with Keenan Allen, what happens with Mike Williams. You know,

138
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 2: is Quentin Johnston ready to take that big next step

139
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 2: forward after what was admittedly a pretty awful rookie season.

140
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 2: There are so many question marks suddenly around Justin Herbert

141
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 2: that it gets really dicey about where you're drafting him.

142
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 2: If I were smart and on top of it and plan,

143
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 2: I'd be looking at our sleeper mock draft right now

144
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 2: and trying to see I mean, I don't believe he's

145
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 2: anywhere near coming off the board at this point, and

146
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 2: you wonder where he's going to start going in mock

147
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 2: drafts right NOWE. Right now, he is very much on

148
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 2: the board. We've had four quarterbacks drafted. Josh Allen Patrick Mahomes,

149
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts, and Lamar Jackson the four guys that are

150
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,679
Speaker 2: already off the board. It is going to be interesting

151
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 2: to see how far Justin Herbert falls down the boards

152
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 2: in a lot of mock drafts and a lot of

153
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 2: real drafts when we get to that point in the season.

154
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 2: The other question is, with Greg Roman there and wanting

155
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 2: presumably to have another run heavy offense, could we see

156
00:07:58,400 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 2: a return to the Chargers for Austin X.

157
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: I don't think so this. We work right next to Sofi,

158
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: so every once in a while we get to talk

159
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: to people who knows stuff that maybe we don't know.

160
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: And the growing thing that we kept hearing this year

161
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, this is the final year for these two.

162
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: They both kind of know they need to go in

163
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: different directions, and I think bringing in Jim and bringing

164
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:30,119
Speaker 1: in Greg Roman is kind of a sign of like, yeah,

165
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: we want to go in a different way. I think

166
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 1: these guys want a power style running game like they

167
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: want and Jim Harbor talked about it repeatedly at his

168
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: press conference last week, like they want to play a

169
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: physical style of football, and Austin Eckler not that he's

170
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: not physical, but he's not that hand the ball off

171
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: fifteen to twenty times a game like he's more of

172
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: we we know what he is, he throwing the ball

173
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,719
Speaker 1: and all that he's objectively awesome. I think both can

174
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: kind of part ways, and it could be good for fantasy.

175
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: Like I could see Alstin Eckler bouncing back in a

176
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: new offense, and I toy with the idea the other day,

177
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 1: maybe he throw like a Derrick Henry on this this

178
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: Chargers offense and watch what it can become. But not

179
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: knowing who the running back will be, Marcus, I'll tell

180
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: you I'm probably going to be much more interested in

181
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: drafting their running back than I would be drafting Herbert

182
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: at at what I'm anticipating Herbert's cost will be.

183
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 2: I mean right now, and I will reserve final judgment

184
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 2: until we see more of what the Chargers do this offseason.

185
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 2: I am not inclined to be excited about Chargers at

186
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 2: the moment. I mean, we're already talking about downgrading Justin Herbert.

187
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 2: You know, I'm not ready to really jump in on

188
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 2: Quinton Johnston just yet. Let's let's say, for you know,

189
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 2: for argument's sake, that Joshua Kelly is the guy who

190
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 2: takes over that RB one spot in Los Angeles. I

191
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 2: think he's a nice player, but he's not a guy

192
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 2: that I'm really going to to hang a lot of

193
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 2: fantasy expectations on in the upcoming season. So it's hard

194
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 2: for me to see a spot where I get excited

195
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 2: about the Chargers in fantasy next season. There's a hard

196
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 2: it's right now. It's hard for me to get excited

197
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 2: about the Chargers in actual football right now until I

198
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 2: kind of see more of what they do. You've got

199
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 2: the Chiefs who have been running the division for you know,

200
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 2: the last six or so years, back in the Super

201
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,839
Speaker 2: Bowl again. You know, You've got the le Broncos are

202
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 2: sort of in disarray. Well, we'll see what happens with

203
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 2: the Denver Broncos. The Raiders. At least there's there's optimism there.

204
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 2: Right they hire Antonio Pierce as their head coach. You know,

205
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 2: there's at least a thought, a rumor that they're going

206
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: to make a move for a quarterback. Maybe it's justin fields,

207
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 2: maybe it's somebody else. There's at least optimism there. There's

208
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 2: disarray in Denver. Uh, there's I think confusion with the Chargers.

209
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 2: I don't know that I'm super excited about them. I

210
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 2: would assume this injured streak of picking the Chargers to

211
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 2: win the West.

212
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: You know what's crazy is yes, but it's not gonna

213
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: be flashy. It's not gonna be fun for fantasy. But

214
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 1: this will be the year that they out because everyone's

215
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: gonna jump off of them, right They're no longer the

216
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: flashy and now though, that's when they'll get it done.

217
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 2: That would be very chargery of them to do it

218
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 2: when everybody has sort of, you know, given up on them,

219
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 2: and see it come together. So very interesting to see

220
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 2: what happens with the Charger roster in the next couple

221
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 2: of months, what they do in free agency, what they

222
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 2: potentially do in the draft. But Jim Harbaugh Greg Roman

223
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 2: going to try and to totally remake this offense, likely

224
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 2: from where it has been the last couple of years. Okay,

225
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 2: turn our attention to Super Bowl fifty eights coming on

226
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 2: Sunday from Allegiance Stadium in Las Vegas. You can see

227
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 2: that game, of course on CBS and Paramount Plus, and

228
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 2: if you are so inclined, you can watch SpongeBob perform

229
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 2: sweet victory the Nickelodeon broadcast as well. Seems like a

230
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 2: good time to me. Yeah, go ahead.

231
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: Oh they put out the like media like who's calling

232
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: the game for CBS and and for Nickelodeon and for

233
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: like analysts. They just said like starfish pants and like

234
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: the old characters last name.

235
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 2: That's funny. I dig that a lot. I'm gonna even

236
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 2: check that out. I guess, you know, if I don't

237
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 2: feel like if even if I don't watch it, it

238
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 2: will end up on like Twitter or somewhere.

239
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: Well, you have a you, I mean, you have a kid,

240
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: like you could throw that on for him.

241
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 2: That's true. He might watch it for a little bit.

242
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 2: I do remember when they did the Toy Story game.

243
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 2: I turned it on for him, and he was kind

244
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 2: of fascinated for a little bit. He wanted me to

245
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 2: replay it, like to run it back and replay it.

246
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 2: And it wasn't even a great play. It was like

247
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 2: a two yard screen pass or something like that. He

248
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 2: was like, play it again, and like after like the

249
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 2: fourth time, I'm like, all right, bro, like we gotta

250
00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 2: keeping sot right. I'm like, there's nothing, there's nothing that

251
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 2: happened here, kid, There's so much more exciting stuff that's

252
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 2: going to happen. But whatever, all right, So Super Bowl

253
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 2: fifty eight. I came up with four big questions for

254
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 2: the game. The first one being can Brock Party who

255
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 2: is always a subject of conversation, especially on social media,

256
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 2: can he be effective against the Chiefs defense, considering he

257
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 2: has had an up and down postseason so far.

258
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: I think so. I think it has to be in

259
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: a very specific way, though. I think if you're asking

260
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: Brock Purdy to get into a shootout with Patrick Mahomes,

261
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,719
Speaker 1: you're asking for failure. I think if you're asking Rock

262
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: Pardy to heave it downfield and win down like deep

263
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: against this chief secondary, you're probably asking for some failure there.

264
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: The Chiefs defense has shut down great quarterbacks so far

265
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: this playoff. Josh Allen had the best game against them,

266
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: and I think it was like nineteen of his completions

267
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 1: were behind the line of scrimmage. I think that is

268
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: what the forty nine have to do. And I think

269
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: if there's any team built to play in that style,

270
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: it is the forty nine Ers. Because Deebo Samuel is

271
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: probably the best yards after catch receiver in the NFL.

272
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: George Kittle is arguably the best tight end at that

273
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey is arguably the best running back at picking

274
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: up Yak after the catch. So this is an offense

275
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: and for Kyle Shanahan that going back to the Jimmy

276
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: G days, has been built off of Yak. Brock purty.

277
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: What he brings that Jimmy G did it was he

278
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: can win downfield when acts two. But as we've seen,

279
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: like like when they played Baltimore and they kind of

280
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: had to start airing it out, that's when bad things

281
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: start to happen. So I think you want to keep

282
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: a lot of short, quick passes. Let these guys get

283
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: the ball in space, play physical, and really make this

284
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: secondary have to tackle and do all of that because

285
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: their strength is taking away the pass. So I think

286
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: Brock Party can put up numbers, but I think it's

287
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: gonna and Cam Newton would hate this. I think it's

288
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: gonna be more asking you other guys like, hey, I'm

289
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: gonna give you the ball. You guys go do your thing.

290
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 2: Which honestly is how he has had success for a

291
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 2: good chunk of his career. And this isn't this isn't me,

292
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 2: you know, Doubting Brock purty or being down on him.

293
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 2: I mean, I think there's that is a talent and

294
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 2: a skill all into itself, is putting your playmakers in

295
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 2: position to be successful and to go out and make plays.

296
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 2: And I think he's done that, and then when they

297
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 2: need him to, he's come up with some big throws.

298
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 2: But I think you're right to the point that they

299
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 2: have to be efficient and he can't necessarily make a

300
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 2: lot of bad decisions. Now, some of that might not

301
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 2: be on him. Steve Spagnolo is going to do a

302
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 2: lot of things to try and confuse him. They're going

303
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 2: to show pressure looks and they may back out or

304
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 2: vice versa. So he's got to be ready for that.

305
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 2: If there is an upside, it is that a few,

306
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 2: if any quarterbacks have been as good under pressure this

307
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 2: year than brock Parties. So if that's what they decide

308
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 2: to do over the course of four quarters, it may

309
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 2: end up being kind of a frustrating day for the Chiefs.

310
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 2: The other that I think is important to watch is

311
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 2: when perty runs. How effective can he be running the football,

312
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 2: because that was a big part of what happened in

313
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 2: the NFC Championship game. We're never going to confuse him

314
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 2: with Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson. But he did run

315
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 2: when he needed to, and he picked up some big

316
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 2: yards and some big first downs. And if he can

317
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 2: do that, that certainly will keep the Chiefs a little

318
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 2: bit honest defensively. So you talk about the Niners receivers

319
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 2: a Deebo Samuel, which one of those guys you think

320
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 2: has a bigger impact than this game?

321
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: I think it has to be Deebo Samuel just the

322
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: style of play that Brandon Ayuk is your downfield threat,

323
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: and that is what the Chiefs succel at taking away.

324
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: It's not saying he can't win, he can't make a

325
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: big impact, but I think the game plan is going

326
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: to run through Deebo. I think CMC and Deebo are

327
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: going to be as they should. They're your two best players,

328
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: they are your two highest paid positional players. I think

329
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: you need to build the game plan around Deebo from

330
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: the moment he comes out with the big boombox or

331
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: whatever they're calling it nowadays. He's gonna have like four

332
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: plays where you think he's done for the game, and

333
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: then the next play he's back out there doing something

334
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,239
Speaker 1: amazing again. But I think if the forty nine Ers

335
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,199
Speaker 1: are going to win, I think Deebo Samuel has to

336
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: have a big game. And to be honest, Marcus, I

337
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: feel good about that. If I'm a forty nine Ers fan, Like,

338
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: if there's one player I trust on that offense to

339
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 1: get it done, it's Deebo Samuel.

340
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I definitely think Deebo is going to

341
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 2: be a big part of it. I think though we

342
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 2: may see a Brandon Ayuk game, and so this depends.

343
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 2: During the regular season, the Chiefs were an above average

344
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 2: team when it came to how often they used man coverage.

345
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 2: You know, look, we know most teams are going to

346
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 2: be zone heavy. That's just the way of the NFL now.

347
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 2: But when it came to playing man coverage, they did

348
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 2: it more than average. In the playoffs, that sort of

349
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,479
Speaker 2: flipped and they were below average in terms of how

350
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 2: much they were running up man coverages. But I think

351
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:01,959
Speaker 2: some of that had to do with you had two

352
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 2: quarterbacks and Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson who could take

353
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 2: off and run. If you're playing man coverage, you've got

354
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 2: defender defenders, defensive backs turning their back occasion to the quarterback.

355
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 2: That makes it really easy for those guys to take

356
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,679
Speaker 2: off and get going. That's not as much of a

357
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 2: threat for brock Purdy. Yes, he may scramble occasionally, he's

358
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 2: not going to just necessarily beat you with his Like

359
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 2: if brock Purdy runs for you know, eighty yards in

360
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 2: this game, something's probably gone really wrong for the forty

361
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 2: nine ers, you know, like that shouldn't be the or

362
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 2: maybe it's gone really wrong for the Chiefs. Either way,

363
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 2: something is weird if he gets that many yards on

364
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 2: the ground. So I think you're going to see them

365
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 2: play a little bit more man than they have in

366
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,239
Speaker 2: the first couple of playoff games, and I think that

367
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 2: works to Brandon Yuck's advantage. But to your point, if

368
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 2: Deebo is not effective in any way, that really does

369
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 2: take a lot out of their playbook. And I think

370
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 2: we saw that against the against the Packers. But they

371
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 2: really have to change up what they did when Deebo

372
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 2: got hurt early in that game and it took in

373
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 2: a while to kind of get on track. Which running

374
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 2: back is more important for their team's success. Christian McCaffrey

375
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 2: or Isaiah Pachecko, Because I don't think the answer is

376
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 2: quite as obvious as maybe it seems on the surface.

377
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: Oh see, I do. I think it's like you could

378
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: throw any running back there with Christian McCaffrey, and to me,

379
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:25,479
Speaker 1: the answer is always Christian McCaffrey because he puts up

380
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 1: well not only is he a better running back I

381
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: would say, than Isaiah Pacheco and puts up high end

382
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: RB one numbers on the ground, but he also gives

383
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: you wide receiver one numbers in the passing attack. And uh,

384
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 1: he is so hard to account for for defenses, especially

385
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: given the weapons they have a receiver and tight end

386
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 1: because you got to pick your spots, and you always

387
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: have to have someone on McCaffrey, even if it's not

388
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: a running place. So I think he just dictates so

389
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: much of the defensive coverage and the defensive attention. Like

390
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: Pachecko is a good power runner, but he got shut

391
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: down against the Ravens and they were still able to

392
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 1: I know they didn't. They only scored seventeen, but they

393
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: were still able to put up enough points. Whereas if

394
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey gets shut down someday, I think life then

395
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 1: becomes a lot tougher brock Purdy and co. Whereas I

396
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: trust Patrick Mahomes to kind of overcome it. So maybe

397
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: it's partially because of who their quarterback is and everything,

398
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,199
Speaker 1: but again, you could throw any running back there, and

399
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: I think CMC is the answer just because of how

400
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: much he does as both they run around the receiver.

401
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 2: All right, So now you said that, I look and

402
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 2: seem very zin right now. This might be my nervous

403
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 2: fan coming out in me because I watched the Niners

404
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 2: defense get run over in their first two playoff games.

405
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,360
Speaker 2: Aaron Jones ran up and down the field on them.

406
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 2: Against the Lions, it was David Montgomery and Jamier Gibbs

407
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 2: doing serious work against them, and that made it easier

408
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 2: for their respective quarterbacks to get going. I mean, when

409
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 2: the Niners trying to figure out how to stop Aaron Jones,

410
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 2: that allowed Jordan Love to kind of make some plays.

411
00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 2: When they were trying to figure out how to stop

412
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,479
Speaker 2: the Lions duo, I mean, Jared Goff was carving them

413
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 2: up all at the same time. We already know Patrick

414
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 2: Mahomes can do that. But I just get the sense

415
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,360
Speaker 2: that if you are Andy Reid, you want to try

416
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 2: to come out and see if you can get the

417
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 2: Niners defense on its heels, and that might be by

418
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 2: trying to run the ball with Pacheco, trying to get

419
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 2: him to the edges a little bit, because that's where

420
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 2: the Niners have been soft. I think if the Niners

421
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 2: can stop the run, and if they can do it

422
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 2: without adding any extra support, then that makes it a

423
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 2: little bit easier for them to defend the middle of

424
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 2: the field, to defend guys like Kelsey and Rashi Rice.

425
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 2: And this isn't to say that they're gonna shut down

426
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes, because that is nearly impossible to do. But

427
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 2: if they can make the Chiefs a little bit more

428
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 2: one dimensional with just those two pass catchers, I think

429
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 2: that helps. So weirdly, I think Isaiah Pacheco is a

430
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 2: key cog in this game for Kansas City, which kiss

431
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 2: me to my next question. Who needs a bigger game

432
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 2: for the Chiefs to win? Is it Kelsey or is

433
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 2: it Travis Kelcey or is it a Pachecko.

434
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: It's always Travis Kelcey. He is their passing attack. Like

435
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: you look at the last two games, Rashie Rice had

436
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: a really big performance against the Miami Dolphins. Travis Kelcey

437
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: played great in that game as well, but against the Bills,

438
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: Raschieve Rice was kind of held in check. It was mvs.

439
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: He had more yards, but both touchdowns went to Travis

440
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 1: Kelce and then obviously Kelsey eight against the Ravens and

441
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 1: Rashid Rice was held in check. All of their receivers

442
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: kind of were. So I still think this passing attack

443
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: goes as Travis kelcey goes, especially the closer they get

444
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: into the red zone and near the goal line, that

445
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 1: is who Mahomes is looking to throw the ball to.

446
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: And it is amazing to me that after a quote

447
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 1: unquote down year, and it's not even like tongue in

448
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: cheek like it was a bad It was a down

449
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,360
Speaker 1: year for Patch Mahomes and Travis Kelce but when they

450
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: need to turn it on, they can just flip that switch.

451
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 1: So in what potentially might be Travis Kelce's final game

452
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: as an NFL player, just speculation, but that is still

453
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 1: out there that Kelse could retire together whenever this run ends,

454
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: which would be after Sunday. I it is Travis Kelcey

455
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: all day, especially because I think if the Chiefs are

456
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: going to win, Mahomes is going to have to be

457
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 1: at least somewhat Patrick Mahomes, because I think the forty

458
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,360
Speaker 1: nine ers could put up points like like the Bills did.

459
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 1: That was the only game in the playoffs where the

460
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: Chiefs offense had to put up points, and it was

461
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: clearly everything was built around going to Travis Kelcey. I

462
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: think this will be a similar game where they have

463
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 1: to throw, they have to put up points, and that

464
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: means more Travis Kelcey with his boo in the stands.

465
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll get to that a little bit. I yeah,

466
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 2: I want to try to make the case for Pacheco.

467
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 2: I do think he's very critical though to the Chiefs

468
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 2: having success. But I'm with you that if Travis kelce

469
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 2: gets shut down, you're asking a lot of you know,

470
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 2: either Rashi Rice to pick up a lot of the slack.

471
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 2: I mean, then you're trying to get into the mvs's

472
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 2: of the world, you know, just than Watson. I mean,

473
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 2: sky Moore is still actives.

474
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's still I don't think they activated him yesterday.

475
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 2: Okay, So it's just asking a lot for guys that

476
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 2: to this point in the season haven't really shown an

477
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 2: inclination to produce big numbers. So I want to I

478
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 2: want to try to sit here and make a case

479
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 2: that Isaiah Pacheco is going to be the straw that

480
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 2: stirs the drink. I can't, I can't quite do it.

481
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 2: I think for the Chiefs to win another ring, it's

482
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 2: going to have to be heavy Mahomes and Kelsey, with

483
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,439
Speaker 2: other guys contributing in key moments U and Pacheco is

484
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 2: one of those guys. I'll take a quick break, come

485
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 2: back and talk about some of the things we expect

486
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 2: to happen on the field, play a little bit more

487
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 2: or less, talk some usher as well. It's coming up

488
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 2: next on the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast. Of course. Uh,

489
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 2: we're gonna sit here and talk about the you know,

490
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 2: the broad theme of the game. But let's kind of

491
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 2: get granular here and talk about some of the things

492
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 2: we expect to see on Sunday on the field or

493
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 2: maybe even off the field as well. Play a little

494
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,360
Speaker 2: bit more or less. So let's start with Christian McCaffrey.

495
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 2: You said, put any two running backs together, and the

496
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 2: answer is always going to be Christian McCaffrey. So ninety

497
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 2: and a half rushing yards for Christian McCaffrey.

498
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: More or less more, I think he gets the century

499
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 1: mark because for two reasons, he's Christian McCaffrey. That's one,

500
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: and then two is the weakness of the Chiefs defenses

501
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: against the run. And it was what we kept talking

502
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 1: about after the Ravens Chiefs game, like, why did Baltimore

503
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: get away from the run? Why were they so pass happy?

504
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 2: The Bills?

505
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: They the Bills I think kind of laid out the

506
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: game plan for the forty nine ers. A lot of short,

507
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: quick stuff behind the line of scrimmage, a lot of

508
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 1: QB running like you talked about, and just a whole

509
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: bunch of handing the ball off to your running back

510
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: running up the middle, getting the ball out wide in

511
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: space wherever, because that's been their weakness all year long

512
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 1: the Chiefs is they're great at taking away the pass,

513
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: especially downfield. So I think as long as the game

514
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,719
Speaker 1: is close, Kyle Shanahan is going to learn from his

515
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 1: mistakes that he made against Tom Brady and he's gonna

516
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 1: hand the ball to his superstar running back and kind

517
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: of try to control the clock and all that.

518
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go. Yeah, I guess I'll go over first.

519
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 2: I was gonna say under, but I think again, this

520
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 2: goes to my pick and my belief that the Niners

521
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 2: are gonna win this game. So I think you're gonna

522
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 2: see McCaffrey creep over that number in the fourth quarter

523
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 2: as they're trying to maybe eat some time off the clock.

524
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 2: I do hope, at least as a fan, I hope

525
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,679
Speaker 2: that Kyle Shanahan sort of looks back at his mistakes

526
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 2: from earlier in the playoffs. You mentioned the Ravens and

527
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 2: we were all surprised that they didn't try to run

528
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 2: the football more. I was surprised that the Niners didn't

529
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 2: try to run it more against the Packers a few

530
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 2: weeks ago, and the Packers have a bad run defense,

531
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 2: and they spent a lot of time, especially in the

532
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 2: first half, trying to force the pass, and then later

533
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 2: they kind of started to open some things up on

534
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 2: the ground. I would hope that Shannon hand sort of

535
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 2: learned from that and decides he's going to attack the

536
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 2: weakness of this Chief's defense. And I use this our

537
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 2: weakness advisedly. They are a very very good defense, so

538
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 2: if there is a soft spot, it's against the run.

539
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 2: I would hope that that Shanahan recognizes that and attacks that.

540
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 2: Two drend and sixty one and a half passing yards

541
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 2: for Patrick Mahomes more or less.

542
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say more because I think, again, this is

543
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: gonna be a game where the Niners can actually put

544
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: up points, which means the Chiefs are gonna have to

545
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: do so, and that usually means more Patrick Mahomes throwing

546
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: and you hear about it, and sometimes it feels like

547
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: it gets overblown. But like how how he rises to

548
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 1: the occasion in the big moment and he is so

549
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 1: prepared in all of that, it seems to just come

550
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: to fruition. And I am I've gone wrong too many

551
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: times picking against Patrick Mahomes, So I am I'm gonna

552
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: say he gets that number in what I think will

553
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:57,479
Speaker 1: be a competitive but maybe higher scoring than you might

554
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: have anticied some people might anticipate by looking at these defenses.

555
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say under again. So we did this for

556
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 2: the AFC Championship game and I think it was to

557
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 2: forty one and a half and I said less and

558
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 2: he ended it to forty one. Wow, he just slid under.

559
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,400
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go I'm gonna say under. I'm saying

560
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 2: less again that he gets less than two hundred and

561
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 2: sixty one and a half passing yards. I think what

562
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 2: has worked for Mahomes though, is maybe not the big numbers.

563
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 2: We haven't seen a ton of those, you know, three

564
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty yard games, four hundred yard games. But

565
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 2: he's been efficient and he's found ways to make plays

566
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 2: when it happens. So even if it's not a big

567
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 2: yardage game, I think he'll find a way to at

568
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,360
Speaker 2: least be efficient and move the football passing it. Six

569
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 2: and a half receptions for Travis Kelcey more or less, I'm.

570
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: Gonna say more again, I think the passing numbers for

571
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: Mahomes are pretty high, which means I think it's all

572
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: through Travis Kelcey. He had eleven catches last game for

573
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: over one hundred yards in a touchdown. I don't know

574
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: if he gets to that high of a number, but

575
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: seven something like that. I think he hit six against

576
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: the Bills, and I think six against or seven against

577
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. I think in a game again where I

578
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: think the forty nine ers are gonna push the score

579
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: up a little bit, I think Travis Kelcey tops that number.

580
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna go over that. I'm gonna say more

581
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 2: than that too, just because I think you know, I

582
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 2: don't know if he has any necessarily big plays. Maybe

583
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 2: he gets a you know, a couple of big yards

584
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 2: after catch, but I think it's a lot of them

585
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 2: just trying to move the chains and move the ball

586
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 2: down the field and getting him involved early. I'm very

587
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 2: interested in the matchup of Travis Kelcey against the forty

588
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 2: nine er linebackers. You know, does he end up matching

589
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 2: up with Fred Warner and or Dre Greenlaw and how

590
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 2: does that work out? Because I think that's gonna be

591
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 2: kind of an intriguing battle. But I think you're gonna

592
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 2: see him peppered with a lot of targets, especially early,

593
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 2: to try to soften up that middle of the field

594
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 2: if possible. Against San Francisco, I'm we talk Niners receivers

595
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 2: more or less than sixty one and a half receiving

596
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 2: yards for Brandon Ayuk.

597
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say less on this one. I feel like

598
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna disagree, But I just keep thinking that Kittle

599
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: and Debo and CMC are going to be on short

600
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: quick stuff is going to be the game plan for

601
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers. Now, you could get close to

602
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: this number on one catch, especially if it hits off

603
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: of a defender space mask or something like that first.

604
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: But I think the Chiefs are so good at limiting

605
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: downfields that unless the forty nine ers fall behind and

606
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: are in catch up mode, I think they're gonna play

607
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: to their strengths, which also happens to be the weakness

608
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: of the Chiefs defense. And that's like yards at to

609
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: the catch with your with your guys that could win

610
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: shorter to the line of scrimmage.

611
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna say more again. I think I think

612
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 2: you're gonna see the Chiefs maybe try to bring pressure

613
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 2: play a little bit more man defense, and I think

614
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 2: that's when you see a lot of the big plays

615
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 2: for Ayuk, a lot of those inbreaking routes where he

616
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 2: maybe gets some space and can get some yards after

617
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 2: the catch. So maybe he doesn't have as many touches

618
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 2: or as many catches as say Deebo Samuel, but I

619
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 2: think the yardage numbers could be decent for Ayuk in

620
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 2: this one, more or less than two and a half

621
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 2: cutaways to Taylor Swift.

622
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: Uh, she'll have that before halftime.

623
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 2: I should have made them over higher.

624
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: Before the ball even kicks off. We're gonna hear about

625
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,959
Speaker 1: how the time change from Tokyo and how she flew

626
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: back across the world and what time she landed there.

627
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: And you know what, good because the Super Bowl. I

628
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: understand it's the biggest game of the year, but it's

629
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: really more than a game. It's like a performance or

630
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: a show at this point. And Taylor Swift is a

631
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 1: needle mover if it if it was some other singer

632
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: and be like, okay, yeah, maybe, but no, Taylor Swift

633
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: is going to get eyes on the TV and move

634
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: the needle and everything. So stop crying and complaining about it.

635
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: It's good to get more fans. Like in the game. Plus,

636
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: I saw something that like if you add up all

637
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: the time that she's on, it's like less than twenty

638
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: seconds or it's not that much.

639
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 2: It really isn't you know. Like on the one hand,

640
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 2: I guess I understand people just sort of, you know,

641
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 2: having fatigue of it. But at this point I look

642
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 2: just lean into it. It is what it is. Also,

643
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,719
Speaker 2: there's only one more game this season, like this is it?

644
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 2: This is the last game. If it really does bother,

645
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 2: you just somehow suck it up for this last three

646
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 2: and a half four hours and then you'll be rid

647
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,959
Speaker 2: of this whole conversation for you know, I don't know

648
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 2: eight months.

649
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: If you're sick of seeing the Chiefs on top, you

650
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: should be rooting for Taylor Swift to pull Travis Kelce

651
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: out of the NFL and have him retire, because that

652
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: would be a huge blow to their dynasty.

653
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 2: I have actually seen that take of people saying I

654
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 2: don't really love the Chiefs, but I kind of want

655
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 2: them to win because I hope it means Travis Kelce retires,

656
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 2: I mean a little bit more vulnerable. I have seen

657
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 2: more than one person offer up that take in the

658
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 2: last week or so. They're gonna be really disappointed if

659
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 2: the Chiefs win and Travis is like I'm coming for

660
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 2: thirty or like. People are gonna be really upset about that.

661
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 2: That's what happens on Sunday. I will be one of them.

662
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 1: Half time.

663
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 2: Of course, I'm sure is performing uh your guest on

664
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 2: what song he's going to open with?

665
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 1: Uh?

666
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 2: Open?

667
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna come out swinging and open with yeah,

668
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: like the biggest one Yeah.

669
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 2: I thought about that. The reason I don't think he

670
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 2: opens with yeah is because if you're gonna do yeah,

671
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:31,719
Speaker 2: you gotta have Lil John, and I don't think you're

672
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 2: gonna have the guest come right at the start. So

673
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 2: because that was my that was going to be. My

674
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 2: first thought was that I think maybe OMG.

675
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:46,719
Speaker 1: It has to be a lot of his songs are

676
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: a little bit, a little bit you know, more of

677
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: a slower sor Yeah, you can't start a super Bowl

678
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: show with that.

679
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 2: It's gotta be. Yeah, maybe not unsure. I mean, yeah,

680
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 2: it seems like the perfect opener.

681
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: OMG is a good fallback, But you can't start with

682
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: like Mike Boo or something like that.

683
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 2: No, No, that would be sort of disappointing. Uh, DJ,

684
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 2: you got us falling in love. Maybe I can see that. Yeah,

685
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 2: I don't know. But my I was with you. I

686
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 2: was like me, I was like yeah, but I'm like no,

687
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 2: because then you gotta bring out Little John. I don't

688
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,240
Speaker 2: think you want, like, if you're usher and you're opening,

689
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,879
Speaker 2: you're playing the super Bowl, you don't want somebody else

690
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 2: to be the first part voice. You hear, right? And

691
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 2: so that that U do you do you expect any

692
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 2: guests in his set?

693
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: Little John and and maybe Ludicris I'm hoping for. But

694
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think like, what other guests could he Like?

695
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 1: Those three are clearly like the Song of the two Thousands.

696
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: We all know that that that was a collab. But

697
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of like other features that Usher

698
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: has in big songs.

699
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 2: I mean, he's done stuff with Rihanna, but Rihanna's not

700
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 2: Rihanna's not showing up.

701
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, not two years in a row.

702
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean she's she's high, she headlined. Yeah, she's

703
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,839
Speaker 2: very much in mom mode. Now good for her. I

704
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 2: can't imagine she's gonna show up and perform, So I

705
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 2: think I think Little John for one. Ludacris would be

706
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 2: dope too. I would love that if you showed up.

707
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe Ludacris flies in on his space station, and

708
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: then that'd be amazing.

709
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 2: That would be absolutely amazing if that happened. Last one here,

710
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 2: everybody talks about the commercials, although I will say this,

711
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 2: I feel like the commercials recently have been sort of

712
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 2: a letdown. Overall, they've been kind of met I think

713
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 2: the last few years, any guesses on which company has

714
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 2: the first commercial, like kickoff happens, you know, whoever has

715
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 2: their first possession, and then they go to break who has.

716
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: The first commercial State Farm. They milk this Travis kelce

717
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 1: mahomes Andy Reid. Maybe maybe there's someone else in the

718
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: or at least a joke about someone else or Taylor

719
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 1: Swift being to someone else something. But I has the

720
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 1: money and the people in the big game to kind

721
00:35:59,920 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: of to pay up to be the first commercial.

722
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 2: Yeah it's a good one. And I know they've also

723
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 2: been like hyping this Arnold Schwarzenegger. Oh yeah, they're doing

724
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 2: where it's like it looks like it's suposed to be

725
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,240
Speaker 2: had some kind of action movie.

726
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:12,800
Speaker 1: So that's a.

727
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 2: That's a good one. I think it's gonna be something weird,

728
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 2: Like it's gonna be like a you know, there was

729
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 2: that year we had all the crypto commercials like that,

730
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 2: some kind of crypto thing where we're all like, what

731
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 2: exactly is that and you gotta like scan a QR

732
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 2: code or something dumb. I think it's gonna be something off,

733
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 2: something off the beaten path that we're not expecting. But

734
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 2: State Farm's a good one. That's a that's a really good,

735
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 2: strong guess.

736
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey also is sponsored by bud Light, who has

737
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 1: those the horse commercial. Maybe we get one of Travis

738
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 1: Kelce riding in on one of those those big horses.

739
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 2: Oh you know what, here's here's my guess Uber Eats.

740
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 2: It's gonna be like, hey, do you forget to order

741
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 2: something before the game, Like, oh, you know, hey, open

742
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 2: up Uber Eats, get your pizza or wings or you

743
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 2: know whatever it is that you need to get.

744
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: If you're ordering pizza and wings after kickoff, you're not

745
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: getting into that.

746
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:14,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you're not getting them anytime soon, like at all.

747
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 2: So we'll see, all right, take one more breaker to

748
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 2: come back. We'll give you our dfs and lineups, our

749
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 2: Showdown Captain Showdown lineups, and give you our predictions for

750
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,280
Speaker 2: the game that's coming up next on the NFL Fantasy

751
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 2: Football Podcast. So I'm sure plenty of you out there

752
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,839
Speaker 2: have decided how you're gonna sweat out the Super Bowl.

753
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 2: For me, I'll be doing it just by watching my

754
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 2: team and texting endlessly with my It's so funny. So

755
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 2: I've talked to you about my friend text chain and

756
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:48,879
Speaker 2: we're always, you know, kind of going back and forth,

757
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,720
Speaker 2: especially on Sundays. My best friend, who I've known literally

758
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 2: my entire life, he's he's part of it, no surprise,

759
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,879
Speaker 2: there he has taken in the last year or so

760
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 2: last year. This year, for big games, he goes into

761
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 2: a cone of silence. He will not he will not

762
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 2: engage with us on the text chain during big games.

763
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 2: So it was like, you know, the four of us,

764
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 2: three of us are like back and forth all the time,

765
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 2: and one person is just gone and not available. And

766
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 2: then when the game's over, he will jump in with

767
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 2: all of his thoughts on what we have been texting

768
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,280
Speaker 2: about for the previous like three and a half hours.

769
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 1: I like it. I respect I didn't do the same thing,

770
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: but during the Bill's Chiefs playoff game, I was like,

771
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 1: I'm not tweeting once during this game because a lot

772
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: of the time when he tweets something emotionally, it comes

773
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 1: back to uh to bite you in one way or

774
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 1: the other. I was gonna ask you, are you watching

775
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 1: with other people, like, like, it is your team, it's

776
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:47,320
Speaker 1: not a regular super Bowl.

777
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 2: No, it's not. I am going to be It'll be

778
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 2: a small gathering. I'll be at home. You know, my

779
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 2: dad's in town, so he's gonna come by. My sister

780
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 2: may come by. But other than that, that's probably it.

781
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 2: Because you know how it is like it's hard to

782
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:06,280
Speaker 2: watch big games with your team around other people. Yep,

783
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 2: and especially if, like if some of the other people

784
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 2: don't have a rooting interest and maybe they're just interested

785
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,280
Speaker 2: in being social and talking, and it's like, I don't

786
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 2: really want to talk to you right now. I'm nervous.

787
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 2: I want to get up and maybe walk around occasionally,

788
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 2: you know. I just remember during some of those early

789
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 2: NBA finals with the Warriors, just being in my house alone, Like,

790
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 2: I don't think I sat down for four quarters, except

791
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 2: maybe during commercial breaks I would take a seat, but

792
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 2: I was just like pacing in front of the television,

793
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 2: just slamming beers to try and call my nerves. I

794
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 2: don't think I'll be that bad this weekend, but I'm

795
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,280
Speaker 2: not up for like being out in public.

796
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:48,919
Speaker 1: Necessarily outside of game sevens. I mean, football playoff games

797
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: are the most anxiety written sporting event because that's it. Yeah,

798
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 1: before the Bills got eliminated, Nicolette was like, oh, if

799
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: they make it, what do you want to do, Like,

800
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,359
Speaker 1: do you want to throw a party? And I was like, no,

801
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: I want to be exact opposite of throw apart. I

802
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 1: want to be by myself. I was like, you can

803
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: watch with me, and that is it, because just like you,

804
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: I want to be pacing. I stand in front of

805
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: the TV as if I'm about to go into the

806
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 1: next play.

807
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:14,840
Speaker 2: I'm ready to get.

808
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: Out there on that field. I need to be because

809
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 1: also good or bad, your reactions can't be as strong

810
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 1: as you want them to be when other people are

811
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: like if your team scores in the super Bowl, you

812
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 1: can't just be like yes, like me, I want to

813
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: be jumping up and down, going crazy. So I was like, yeah,

814
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:31,800
Speaker 1: if the Bills are ever in a super Bowl, I

815
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 1: need to be by my It's like when people in

816
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 1: the office are like, hey, want to come to the

817
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:36,880
Speaker 1: bar to watch the Bills play a big game, and

818
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's the last place I want to.

819
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 2: Make no offense. But I don't want to be anywhere

820
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 2: near you for this big game. So uh yeah. So

821
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 2: it's going to be a very small, intimate gathering. Good

822
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 2: Luve family, Thanks appreciate. Hopefully a great one for you guys. Yeah,

823
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 2: I mean it'd be a lot of fun absolutely, you know,

824
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 2: and believe me, I will tell you right now. I

825
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 2: know myself enough to know that if things go bad early,

826
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,879
Speaker 2: I'm just going to convince myself of the silver lining, like,

827
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 2: hey man, it was a great year and you know,

828
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 2: not everybody gets to make a Super Bowl. But if

829
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,400
Speaker 2: things turn around, then I'm gonna be like, hell yeah,

830
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 2: I always believe. I never lost faith, like the whole.

831
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 2: That's why I was for the Lions game.

832
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: One way or the other. It sounds like you'll be

833
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 1: consuming a lot of adults beverages.

834
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 2: Probably, yeah, you go make sure I picked some up

835
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 2: before Sunday. Anyway, you put together some DFS lineups for

836
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 2: the week, doing the captain style lineups here, so please

837
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 2: do the honors. How'd you put your lineup together?

838
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 1: I went with the most expensive, high end players. I

839
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: could cemc as my captain just because again what he

840
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 1: does on the ground and as a pass catcher, I

841
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 1: think he could go for two touchdowns in this game.

842
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 1: Then I have Mahomes and Kelsey as my first two flexes.

843
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: I also have a Sheet Rice in there, so going

844
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 1: heavy just because the forty nine ers receivers are ex

845
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,720
Speaker 1: so it's hard to fit them in if you also

846
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 1: want to get the top two Chiefs guys. So I

847
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 1: was able to get Rashid Rice in there. I have

848
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 1: the Chiefs passing game on lock and then have to

849
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 1: go cheap after that. So I went with the Chiefs

850
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:16,360
Speaker 1: defense because I was thinking, like, while I expect the

851
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: forty nine ers to put up points, if one of

852
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks do kind of get turnover prone, I think

853
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,839
Speaker 1: it would be Brock Purty against his chief secondary. And

854
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 1: then at that point I had two hundred dollars left,

855
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 1: So take your pick of whichever bad player on either

856
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 1: team you want to go with. I will pick Justin

857
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,839
Speaker 1: Ross because I'm like, the Chiefs have a knack for

858
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,319
Speaker 1: deciding to put the ball in the hands of obscene

859
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: wide receivers near the goal line, and so maybe it's

860
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: Justin Ross's time this go around. It won't be Kadarius Tony.

861
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: I doubt it'll be Nico Hardman after what happened when

862
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:51,799
Speaker 1: the Bills game. And then Ross also can win downfield,

863
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,360
Speaker 1: so again he's just a pure punt play, but a

864
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:55,439
Speaker 1: little bit of upside there.

865
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, look, it's hard because the top end

866
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 2: players do cost so much, so but I'm with you.

867
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 2: I went Christian McCaffrey as the captain, followed by Mahomes.

868
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 2: I got Purty in there, so I was able to

869
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,319
Speaker 2: get both quarterbacks in there, at which point I had

870
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 2: to really, you know, cut back on the spending. I

871
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 2: was able to get George Kittle in there, just in

872
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 2: case he and Purdy somehow connect.

873
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 1: You know.

874
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw. Like Kittle said, he

875
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 2: learned how to read by reading Calvin and Hobbes cartoons

876
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 2: comic strips, and he has a tattoo of Hobbs on

877
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 2: his hand. You know, for whatever it's worth, one of

878
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:28,800
Speaker 2: my best friends who's a Niners fans, also loves Calvin

879
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 2: and Hobbes. I'm grasping at anything, any kind of connections

880
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 2: to make this work out. But I took Kittle sixty

881
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:37,399
Speaker 2: four hundred, and then I had to really scale back.

882
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 2: So mvs. Marcus Valdez scantly Clyde Edwards Hilaire just because,

883
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 2: as you mentioned, if Andy Reid has something tricky up

884
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 2: his sleeve and wants to get the ball to somebody

885
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 2: that's not Rashie Rice or Travis Kelcey, then maybe it

886
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 2: ends up being say mvs. With a long catch or

887
00:43:56,080 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 2: a ceh or something like that. So yeah, that's what

888
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 2: we got. I guess it's to the end. I'm your

889
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:07,319
Speaker 2: your score your winner and your MVP for the game.

890
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:12,479
Speaker 1: I'm I don't want to disappoint you, but I've picked

891
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 1: against Mahomes too many times and been proving wrong, So

892
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 1: I think it'll be a close game again. I am

893
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 1: anticipating points in this one. I think both offenses will

894
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,439
Speaker 1: be able to move the ball. Twenty seven Kansas City

895
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:28,439
Speaker 1: twenty seven, San fran twenty four. Harrison Bucker late game

896
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 1: heroics once again. He's probably the new best kicker in football,

897
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: I would say, and the MVP. Of course, something would

898
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:37,799
Speaker 1: have to go terribly wrong for the Chiefs to win

899
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 1: and Patrick Mahomes not to get the MFA.

900
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, look at the Chiefs win, you feel

901
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 2: like it's just pretty much going to be Mahomes unless

902
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 2: they decide to give it to Kelsey just to have

903
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 2: a Taylor Swift story lost.

904
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, Kelsey. If Kelsey goes for like

905
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 1: one hundred and two, maybe they maybe they give it

906
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:53,919
Speaker 1: to him.

907
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like you get Super Bowl MVP dating the

908
00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 2: Album of the Year winner at the Grammys. I mean,

909
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 2: the the tabloids would go crazy over that, social Media

910
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:04,360
Speaker 2: would go berserve.

911
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 1: He'd have to propose at that point then.

912
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 2: I feel like you.

913
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 1: I don't know.

914
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 2: I haven't looked at all the you know, kind of

915
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 2: off the wall prop bets. I'm guessing that's gotta be

916
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 2: one out there, right that that Travis Kelsey proposes after

917
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:18,840
Speaker 2: the game to Taylor Swift.

918
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 1: I've seen grown men speculating on it on social media.

919
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 2: And you do you whatever keeps you engaged? I guess uh,

920
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 2: And maybe it's two players, two people getting engaged is

921
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:33,240
Speaker 2: what keeps you engauged? So hey, you know, more power

922
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 2: to you, no surprise. Look, I'm taking the forty nine

923
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:37,839
Speaker 2: ers to win. I think it's going to be super close.

924
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:41,399
Speaker 2: Twenty four twenty one, which, by the way, I think

925
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 2: would continue the string and make complete the string of

926
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:52,240
Speaker 2: no team scoring more than twenty four points against the Chiefs.

927
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 2: Nobody scored more than twenty four points against the Chiefs,

928
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 2: at least in the regular season. The Saints scored twenty

929
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 2: six and the brain scored thirty two in the preseason,

930
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:05,399
Speaker 2: but that was it. Nobody else scored more than twenty

931
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 2: four points. I take that the Packers scored twenty seven

932
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 2: against them in Week thirteen, So either way, the.

933
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 1: Bills would have if not for Harrison Bucker, I'm still salty.

934
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 2: Sorry. I could tell Tyler Bass I could tell so,

935
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 2: but I got the Niners pulling one out twenty four

936
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 2: twenty one. Brock Purdy is the MVP. My bold prediction,

937
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,719
Speaker 2: by the way, is that Purdy accounts for all three touchdowns,

938
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 2: two through the air, too through the air, one on

939
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:38,400
Speaker 2: the ground. That's my bold prediction for the game.

940
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 1: Brock Purty could do that, win Super Bowl MVP, and

941
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 1: there would still be people after the game saying that

942
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:46,320
Speaker 1: he's not a good quarterback.

943
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:49,399
Speaker 2: He's not a good quarterback that you know, the rest

944
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:52,920
Speaker 2: of the team carried him. He's lucky that with that

945
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,239
Speaker 2: club foot and two left hands and he's able to

946
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 2: do what he's able to do. Yeah, I think he

947
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:02,279
Speaker 2: was Dan Orlowski that the point. Or Pat McAfee. I

948
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:04,319
Speaker 2: think it was the quote that he could walk on water,

949
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:07,279
Speaker 2: and people would say it's because he can't swim. So

950
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 2: that's what it is. So there you go. That's our

951
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 2: look at Super Bowl fifty eighth. Are you gonna have

952
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 2: any big plans for watching it?

953
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:19,319
Speaker 1: I'm going back and forth. I got invited to go

954
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 1: to a Super Bowl party, or I could just like

955
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 1: stay home and eat a bunch of food here. I'm

956
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 1: going back and forth because the social part of it

957
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 1: is fun, but I always feel like I'm like, I

958
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 1: missed a bunch of the game.

959
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 2: Then, yeah, I've noticed, you know, at least since I've

960
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:37,319
Speaker 2: been working at the NFL and you've been fortunate to

961
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 2: have like access to game pass and that sort of thing,

962
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:41,880
Speaker 2: Like I'll watch the game at somewhere somewhere else, and

963
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 2: then later I'll go back and I'll you know, watch

964
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 2: the condensed version of the game, so I could see

965
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 2: the things that maybe I missed. So I get that.

966
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:52,440
Speaker 2: I get that one hundred percent. Anyway, I think it's

967
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 2: gonna be an entertaining game. I think it should be

968
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 2: a lot of fun. My heart certainly wants the forty

969
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:58,879
Speaker 2: nine ers to win. My head could make a case

970
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 2: why the Chiefs could win. But I think more than anything,

971
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:04,920
Speaker 2: it should be a very competitive football game this weekend.

972
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 2: And as you pointed out, enjoy it because we're not

973
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 2: gonna get any actual footballing for a while. You know,

974
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 2: we're looking at probably this what six seven months before

975
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 2: the NFL season comes back again, So enjoy this last

976
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:22,239
Speaker 2: little piece of football for a really, really long time.

977
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:24,479
Speaker 2: But in the meantime, that'll do it for this edition
