WEBVTT - NFL Week 2 Reaction: Chiefs IN TROUBLE? Baker & Buccaneers BUZZING! Burrow INJURED | Nick Wright 0:00:01.960 --> 0:00:05.080 Welcome in What'll Driving the Great Episode three sixty five. 0:00:05.200 --> 0:00:09.119 This episode, as always brought to you by our friends 0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:14.800 at boost Mobile. Demand's a rough weekend for me, no 0:00:15.240 --> 0:00:19.079 getting around it. And it started off so you know, 0:00:19.280 --> 0:00:22.160 rough weekends not even the right way to put it. 0:00:22.160 --> 0:00:26.240 It was just a rough Sunday. Because Friday was glorious 0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:29.720 doing the show live from Kansas City. It was an 0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:37.000 all timer, and then Saturday was wildly profitable, hopefully not 0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:40.840 just for me but for our listeners because the great 0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:47.360 Nick Shulman, the What's Right Boxing expert analyst correspondent, did 0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:50.520 an hour with us last week and gave us every 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:55.960 single reason to bet Terrence Bud Crawford in an upset, 0:00:56.280 --> 0:01:02.000 and Terrence Bud Crawford dominated that five and we were 0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:06.039 rolling and even early Saturday after. It really is just 0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:06.720 the Chiefs game. 0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:08.280 Like what am I talking about? 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:10.840 Like everything is just a Chiefs game. I got a 0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:19.280 little I feel unlucky with my five picks where I 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:22.400 ended up going two and three this weekend. One of 0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:26.759 the losses was the Jags plus three and a half. 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:30.559 They lost by four in a game they gave away 0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:36.800 just card in total Jagsy and fashion gave away, and 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:41.240 another loss was Arizona laying six and a half. They're 0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:46.039 up twenty seven to eight. Late in the game, Like 0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:50.600 late late in the game, Kyler throws a pick, they 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:53.920 allow a touchdown, they allow the what might be the 0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:57.640 only successful onside kick of the year, and all of 0:01:57.680 --> 0:02:00.600 a sudden, not only do they not cover, they almost 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:04.560 lost the game out right. But as the kids say, 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:07.600 we move, we're gonna be okay. We'll get to all 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:10.520 of that. You, on the other hand, just can't lose 0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:14.480 a teaser. Hitting price, You're hitting hitting player props left 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:17.960 and right. You're just you're on fire over on the 0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:18.959 West Coast. 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:24.600 I'm trying. I'm trying. Yeah, teasers look good any best 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:26.639 this weekend. But but yeah. 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:29.079 That's okay. The teaser looked good. You gave out a 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:32.000 winning teaser. It's all you can hope for. I will say, 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:37.680 this team, what's right in the million dollars Splash Sports Survivor. 0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:42.600 We had the Cardinals. We have now used the Jags 0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:46.359 and the Cardinals. We're two and zero. We're feeling good now. 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:49.920 I will say almost everyone's feeling good about Survivor at 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:55.680 this point because nobody's lost anything. Oh, one other note 0:02:56.320 --> 0:03:00.880 for the audience. I guess this is also for the 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:03.920 Blue Duck folks, but it won't actually impact any of 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:07.280 our schedules or anything. We are now we're going to 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:10.280 go back to doing what we did at the beginning 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:14.280 of the pod, where the pick show is released as 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:18.760 a separate episode on Friday, So we'll be live Thursday. 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:22.919 We will then also after we're live Thursday, do our 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:25.320 pick show, you know what I mean, and then it 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:28.640 will come out as its own standalone episode on Fridays. 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:31.840 I know there was some confusion for folks who because 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:33.720 we did that this week and I didn't tell you 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:36.720 guys who listened to Thursday's episode and said where were 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:39.480 the picks? They were released later as their own thing. 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:42.120 So just so everybody knows. And by the way, to 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:45.240 make sure you get everything we do like great subscribe 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:51.160 review YouTube is growing great. The iTunes and Spotify numbers 0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:54.440 are doing really well. We appreciate it. The only way 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.480 you guys can help us more than just listening to 0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:01.440 the show is throwing us up description or even on 0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:03.760 top of that review, So we would love that. Now 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:06.040 let's get right into it, straight to the voicemail brought 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:10.840 to you by our friends at boost Mobile. Bad couple 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:13.880 first few weeks for the skinny football players out there. 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:19.039 Xavier Worthy's got his shoulder popped out, DeVante Smith looked 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:20.840 like he might have gotten hurt in the Chiefs game, 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.919 and Jayden Daniels dealing with a knee sprain. That is 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:28.080 certainly something to monitor. It is, you know, fortunately for him, 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:30.920 unfortunately for the rest of the league, not even close 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:34.400 to the most dire of the quarterback injuries. This weekend, 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:39.520 we'll get to that. Crawford defeats Canelo and gives himself 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:43.200 a real argument that if you want to call him 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:47.839 the best pound for pound fighter of your lifetime, you 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:50.520 can make that case. Now he's forty two to zero. 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:55.719 He basically jumped three weight classes to beat Canelo, and 0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:59.080 it was an all timer. And I didn't think the 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:01.719 fight was as close as the judges did. And then 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:04.920 the if I wasn't having a tough enough week, and 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:07.880 I gotta be careful. You know, I'm not trying to 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:13.720 take shots at the NFL, but NFL social media tweeting 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:19.400 out never a doubt on what was the backbreaking touchdown 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:25.640 for the Eagles over the Chiefs. Felt pointed and felt personal. 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:28.560 I'm just gonna be honest with you. Now, you can 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:32.800 say that is egotistical. I don't think it is. 0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:33.440 I don't. 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:35.000 I think that was very niche. 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:36.080 That's niche right there. 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:42.279 Well, whatever it is, I didn't love it. I gotta 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:45.440 tell you. I didn't love it. And it felt like 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:48.560 a low blow. Now maybe I'm just a little on 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:52.760 tilt because of what happened in Chiefs Eagles. So Deman say, 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:57.640 let's not delay anymore, let's get right into it. Go ahead. 0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:00.880 Yeah, So the Super Bowl rematch was rough for Chiefs 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:04.160 fans and you. So there's a few things going on. 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:07.840 The Toush push is still alive, and well, my Holmes 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:10.039 is struggling to throw the ball deep, it would seem, 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:12.640 and him and Kelsey have had a few miscues that 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:16.080 have potentially cost them games. Where would you like to start? 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:21.880 Okay, So we're going to start with the chief side 0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:26.240 of things, and then we'll get into the Eagles, and 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:32.200 then we will do a Toush push discussion. Okay, So 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:35.400 I cannot and and producers tell me if the mic 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:39.640 sounds a little better. Now, I am not going to 0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:45.000 sit here and act like everything's fine with the Chiefs 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:50.320 right now, it is. There are some I want to 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:59.120 focus on the concerning things that have occurred in both games. Okay, 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:03.520 So for instance, since week one, the secondary, which has 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:09.080 been a strength of this team, looked hugely problematic against 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:12.440 Herbert and the Chargers. Week two, I thought the secondary 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:16.280 looked really good. Right, So like that's the one good game, 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:19.480 one bad game. I'm not focusing on that. Here is 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:25.080 what through two weeks looks problematic, and I don't know 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:30.920 where the solve for it is. The Chiefs running game 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:36.400 is as inept right now as it's ever been since 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:41.680 Patrick's been there. Pachecko sadly just does not look like 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.520 the same player he was before he broke his leg. 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:50.400 And what's odd about it is his biggest problem through 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:54.800 two weeks doesn't seem to be explosion. It seems to 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:59.080 be vision and hitting the right hole. You wouldn't think 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:03.840 that is related to a lower body injury, but he 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:07.520 just hasn't been effective. Kareem Hunt is who he is. 0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:12.440 He if you need one yard more way, more often 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:14.680 than not, he will get it for you. But he 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:18.720 has no chance of getting you ten. And they brought 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:22.920 in Elijah Mitchell. Nothing's happened there. They drafted Brishard Smith 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:26.160 in the I think seventh round. He's seventh round rookie. 0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:30.200 Like they just right now don't have the horses in 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:34.680 the running back room, and that is a spot that 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:40.880 I would not at all hate for them to be 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:44.920 active on in the trade market. I think we have. 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:48.559 There has been a lot of discussion of should the 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:54.000 Chiefs trade for Tyreek Kill? The wide receivers are coming back, Okay, 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:58.520 I if I were doing a trade with Miami, I 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:02.800 might be equally, if not more, interested in Devin h 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:08.160 Cham Like I think that there are you running backs 0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:12.560 will be and should be available, and that might be 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:15.080 a spot that they have to bite the bullet and 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:19.000 spend some draft capital via trade on. So that's one piece, 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:25.360 and here's another one. As good as Josh Simmons has 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:29.920 been at the left tackle spot, Patrick still doesn't feel 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:33.640 totally comfortable in his protection. Now, some of that's been 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:38.880 the left guard spot's been really problematic, but Creed's great, 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:43.959 Trey's great, Simmons is really good, Joan Taylor when he's 0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:48.760 not committing penalties is fine, and Patrick just seems like 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:54.200 he doesn't trust it. Right now, and I am as 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:57.760 confident in Patrick Mahomes as any player that's ever played 0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:00.840 in the league that he will figure stuff out. And 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:04.000 there have been times this season where it has felt 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:07.120 like he's out there, I don't want to say by himself, 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:11.079 but nobody can get opening. They can't run the ball, 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:14.080 which has forced him to and this is the part 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:17.400 of the season that I have liked the absolute least. 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:23.120 It has forced him to activate playoff running Mahomes in 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:32.840 weeks one and two, and I despise that because obviously 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:35.440 it puts him in jeopardy, which is the biggest concern. 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:38.719 But the other thing is one of the reasons he 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:42.840 has had the postseason success that he's had. One of 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:48.040 the reasons he has been so much more dynamic and 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:52.800 effective statistically and from a winning perspective on a per 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:56.040 game basis than any other quarterback in the history of 0:10:56.080 --> 0:11:00.920 the league come the postseason is because every single postseason 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:05.440 he adds a huge weapon to his game that is 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:08.320 not there in the regular season, which is the quarterback 0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:12.440 runs the scrambles. And if he's using that during the 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:18.120 regular season, it has just multiple concerns. One is he 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:21.720 can get banged up Another is you're not getting that 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:27.800 auto postseason boost. Like Josh Allen and Lamar are unbelievable 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:30.960 runners at the quarterback position. They do it starting in 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:34.839 week one and never stop. So it doesn't add an 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:37.720 element to their game come the playoffs. It has for 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:43.280 Patrick and the last listen issue on offense is the 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:46.520 greatest tight end in the history of the league has 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:49.760 had a really rough two weeks. There's no way around it. 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:54.319 Third play of the season. I thought it was Xavier's mistake. 0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:57.240 He says it was his mistake that he ran the 0:11:57.240 --> 0:12:01.240 wrong depth of his route and Xavier's hurt. Later in 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:04.760 that game, he and Patrick aren't on quite the same page. 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:09.200 When they're down nine about to score, they don't connect 0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:12.040 on what would have been a touchdown. And then obviously 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:17.760 the Eagles game, they're about to take the lead and 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:21.000 he bobbles a pass and it turns into a game 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:29.200 changing interception. That's all. Highly it's been highly damaging. I 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:33.240 don't know if it's yet highly concerning, but it's highly damaging. Okay, 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:39.800 So there is that piece of it on the defensive 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:43.640 side of the ball. The only complaint I have after 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:49.840 week two is they cannot seem to get pressure without 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:53.640 sending a blitz, like if they rush for they just 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:57.240 cannot get home. So I don't know if that means 0:12:57.280 --> 0:13:01.640 the rookies Ashton Julot or Omar Norman lot need to 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:05.520 be more effective. Certainly Charles Amena who needs to be 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:08.839 more effective. Mike Dana got hurt in this game. That 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:12.160 didn't help. George Karloft has just got paid by this team, 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:16.880 he needs to be more effective. Like Chris Jones is 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:20.280 a man on an island at times. And so those 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:26.400 are real problems, okay, And right now the Chiefs don't 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:33.080 deserve to be anything close to Super Bowl favorites. I'm 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:35.480 not gonna sit here and act like, ah, they got unlucky, 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:43.880 they got this. No. If anything, it is surprising that 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:47.320 they have had a chance to win both of these 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:52.640 games when they haven't played well. They've missed kicks in 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:57.200 both games. They haven't forced a turnover. So that is 0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:02.280 the true and fair so analysis of where the Chiefs 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:09.640 are through two weeks. Anything past that is nonsense. Anyone 0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:16.880 trying to pedal Wow, should they be worried about making 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:23.240 the playoffs? I think has lost their mind. Now is 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:31.600 the division for the first time in Jeopardy. Yeah, when 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:34.880 you're zero to two and a team that beat you 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:42.560 is two and zero with a divisional win, it's understandable 0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:46.400 that the Chiefs are no longer the favorites in the 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:49.840 division Demons, And where where does hard Rock Bet have 0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:50.760 them at right now? 0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:53.760 They've got them at plus two forty to win the division? 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:55.600 Should you hammer that? 0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:00.920 I mean, listen, as it's not surprising to you. Probably 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:04.360 I have a lot of exposure already on the Chiefs, 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:09.000 you know, futures and season and win total. But I 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:15.400 think plus two point forty is good value right now 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:18.640 when I do right now, if I had to pick it, 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:20.640 I would still pick the Chiefs to win the division. 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:25.400 And part of that is some concerning stuff. I saw 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:33.600 no no from the Chargers the Houston doesn't apply here 0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:38.520 from the Chargers last night late in that game. And 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:40.320 we'll get into that when we talk about the Chargers. 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:43.920 I thought the Chargers almost went out of their way 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:47.160 to try to keep the Raiders in that game. And 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:53.440 it's what's true for Patrick is true for all these quarterbacks. 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:57.160 Any quarterback that's running a ton early in the year, 0:15:57.360 --> 0:16:00.480 I get worried about and justin Herbert's running a lot, 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:04.840 and you know that I think that, And he took 0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:09.320 a wicked shot yesterday, and then they also had him 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:12.480 late in the game when the game was decided to 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:16.280 another quarterback run that I totally didn't understand. And so 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:20.280 I still believe the Chiefs are the best team in 0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:24.480 the AFC West. You can't right now say they're better 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:29.960 than Buffalo or Baltimore. You can say, however, right now, 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:35.200 in a span of two quick weeks, after for the 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:41.480 last few years the AFC clearly being the better of 0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:46.600 the two conferences, the NFC right now seems far superior 0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:50.920 and far deeper. Like demon's a whoa in the AFC 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:58.720 East Buffalo, Miami, New England, the Jets. There's one team 0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:07.679 you believe in the AFC North, Baltimore, since Pittsburgh, Cleveland. 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:13.160 There's one team you believe in the AFC South. Right now, 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:17.320 there might be zero teams you believe in unless you 0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:21.359 or the generic you to the audience really does believe 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:24.199 what the culture doing is sustainable. I don't know that 0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:27.000 I believe it. The AFC West, on the other hand, 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:30.080 might have a bunch of you know, the Chargers, the Broncos, 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:37.080 the Chiefs the Raiders still like it is. It's remarkable 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:43.040 to me how open the middle part of the conferences, 0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:46.320 And so I think it's fair to say the Chiefs 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:50.800 have basically not punted but giving up the opportunity to 0:17:50.840 --> 0:17:53.879 be the one seed. You know, I think that's fair. 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:57.080 I think there's you know, there are real things they 0:17:57.119 --> 0:18:01.480 need to clean up. I also feel this way, they 0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:10.840 are potentially twelve days away from everyone saying how silly 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:16.280 we should feel for writing off the Chiefs because you 0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:20.840 beat the Giants this weekend. You didn't have a game 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:24.840 against Baltimore that if you win, you're right back to 0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:28.119 being the Chiefs and all this stuff about oh, the 0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:31.919 mystique is gone or this or that that's gone like 0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:38.439 that and that conversation is gone, and so big but 0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:42.240 big next few weeks and big stretch of time before 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:47.000 Rashi comes back. Xavier might be back this weekend. He'll 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:53.480 definitely be back for the Raven game. And listen, they 0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:57.800 need to have a receiver that can beat man to 0:18:57.920 --> 0:19:04.840 man coverage. And the idea that like Mahomes is being 0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:11.680 exposed without a dynamic receiver is belied by the fact 0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:16.400 that he won League MVP with a receiving corps led 0:19:16.440 --> 0:19:21.280 by juju An MBS and the next year won Super 0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:25.879 Bowl MVP with an even worse receiving corps. And last 0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:29.639 year they went fifteen to two and made the Super 0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:33.480 Bowl with Rashim missing basically the whole year. So I 0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:38.960 think that's too reactionary. But somebody's got to get open 0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:41.600 at some point, all right, before we get to the 0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:43.679 touch push, do you have another one more follow up? 0:19:43.720 --> 0:19:45.159 You want to ask me? Uh? 0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:47.639 Yeah? With how Philly fans are treating you, do you 0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:50.320 think treating you in person? Are you thinking about taking him? 0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:54.200 And a listens so. 0:19:55.480 --> 0:19:58.199 I know we're joking. I'm gonna be serious about this 0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:05.520 just for a second. The grown adult Eagle fans that 0:20:05.800 --> 0:20:12.480 live in the New York area, and I have more 0:20:12.720 --> 0:20:18.080 sympathy for folks. When I was in Kansas City and 0:20:18.200 --> 0:20:22.080 ran into Eagle fans, I'd love to tell you the 0:20:22.160 --> 0:20:26.879 vast majority were great. They were not. The vast majority 0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:34.719 were obnoxious assholes. A few were great. But I had 0:20:34.760 --> 0:20:39.040 a group of four grown men in golf outfits at 0:20:39.119 --> 0:20:42.679 eight in the morning Friday morning in front of the 0:20:42.760 --> 0:20:47.960 hotel we were both staying at uh Yell like scream 0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:53.000 at me so like that, But but I actually give 0:20:53.080 --> 0:20:57.280 those guys not a pass. You're you flew to town 0:20:57.440 --> 0:21:01.800 for a game. You're alrighty, like you're in game mode. Whatever. 0:21:01.840 --> 0:21:07.480 It is like that, that is what it is. The 0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:12.440 Eagle fans that see me on the street in New 0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:20.520 York and a cost me for lack of a better term, 0:21:20.640 --> 0:21:23.800 or just out of their mind, like what like on 0:21:23.920 --> 0:21:27.159 it like like you're just out of your mind? What 0:21:27.200 --> 0:21:28.000 are you doing? 0:21:29.960 --> 0:21:31.880 Say it again, what are you doing with your time 0:21:31.960 --> 0:21:32.399 right now? 0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:35.080 Well, it's just you're just you're just like what are 0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:39.080 you doing? You're you're not on the team. And I 0:21:39.359 --> 0:21:46.000 like the like the this is it is forever. I've 0:21:46.080 --> 0:21:51.840 said that. Whenever Demanse says to me like, oh, you're 0:21:51.880 --> 0:21:54.800 getting killed online or people are mad at you or whatever, 0:21:55.080 --> 0:21:58.320 what I've said is no, they're not. Like maybe they are, 0:21:58.359 --> 0:22:00.520 but it doesn't matter because I don't see it. In 0:22:00.720 --> 0:22:03.320 order to tell me your feelings, you gotta see me 0:22:03.400 --> 0:22:07.360 in person. And ninety nine percent of the people who 0:22:07.440 --> 0:22:11.440 see me in person, no matter what they've said online, 0:22:12.480 --> 0:22:22.360 they're incredibly gracious. It is really surprising the level of 0:22:22.440 --> 0:22:29.000 like angst and vitriol a team that is the defending champions, 0:22:29.080 --> 0:22:35.080 their fans have and I find it. 0:22:33.920 --> 0:22:38.240 Honestly not worst fan base, but worst fan base to you, Like, 0:22:38.320 --> 0:22:40.840 I feel like Buffalo was up there at one point. 0:22:40.840 --> 0:22:43.200 But Buffalo fans were Here's the thing. 0:22:45.040 --> 0:22:47.639 I think I was, you were really I can't be. 0:22:47.960 --> 0:22:54.240 Buffalo way more than Philly, and Buffalo fans were always awesome, 0:22:55.280 --> 0:23:02.000 always it is. And Buffalo fans, by the way, never won. 0:23:03.200 --> 0:23:04.600 They never like. 0:23:04.640 --> 0:23:09.320 The the combination is already like a type of way. 0:23:09.359 --> 0:23:11.200 I feel like like they're already yeah. 0:23:11.040 --> 0:23:18.280 It's it's odd. I'm not I'm not I'm not making 0:23:18.400 --> 0:23:20.639 too big of a deal over it. But I'm not 0:23:20.680 --> 0:23:26.760 gonna act like it's not noticeable that these like thirty 0:23:26.800 --> 0:23:31.439 eight year old it pros on their lunch break that 0:23:31.720 --> 0:23:35.920 see me walking in the city, like, ain't nick right? 0:23:36.080 --> 0:23:40.159 Fuck you? Like ay Man, like we're just like that. 0:23:40.680 --> 0:23:44.359 It's a little weird, like it's just it's just and 0:23:44.400 --> 0:23:51.919 I and I the I just have a auto response 0:23:52.000 --> 0:23:56.680 of congrats on the super Bowl, like I don't know 0:23:56.720 --> 0:24:01.560 what interaction you think we're gonna have here, but it is. 0:24:03.800 --> 0:24:06.160 But what I'm saying is what the you got? They won? 0:24:06.880 --> 0:24:09.920 I don't know what they're mad about. I think that 0:24:09.960 --> 0:24:15.960 there is an element of their identity as sports fans 0:24:16.280 --> 0:24:22.480 is anger and they don't know how to deal with 0:24:22.920 --> 0:24:27.640 the fact that they won. And so it is I'm 0:24:27.680 --> 0:24:31.679 not gonna like, I'm not gonna pretend it's not weird. 0:24:34.240 --> 0:24:36.720 And people the producers asking if it happened with Niner 0:24:36.760 --> 0:24:39.880 fans or Buck fans, I'm telling you, and I am 0:24:39.920 --> 0:24:45.399 not exaggerating, It's never happened with any other fan base 0:24:46.000 --> 0:24:49.880 across any other sport. To me, like, there are some 0:24:50.600 --> 0:24:57.160 true die hard Kobe fans that really disliked me, particularly 0:24:57.800 --> 0:25:03.240 right after Kobe's trying passing, because in that time, any 0:25:03.920 --> 0:25:09.280 anybody that had you know, tape if you will, of 0:25:09.600 --> 0:25:12.280 what they thought was being unfair to Kobe, those got 0:25:12.320 --> 0:25:16.320 shared a lot, you know, in the moment after it's passing. 0:25:16.840 --> 0:25:23.320 None of those folks. If I were to make a 0:25:23.480 --> 0:25:30.480 list of the twenty worst in person interactions I've had 0:25:30.520 --> 0:25:37.080 with fans since I've been doing this, eighteen of them 0:25:38.359 --> 0:25:42.800 would be Eagle fans. Since they won the Super Bowl. 0:25:43.600 --> 0:25:50.400 It's really weird and so like, uh yeah, and so 0:25:50.520 --> 0:25:54.760 it just part of that might be geographically, Yeah, you know, 0:25:54.800 --> 0:25:56.760 what I mean. There's a lot of things, but it 0:25:56.800 --> 0:26:01.760 is it is odd, which is why this thing we're 0:26:01.760 --> 0:26:08.520 doing next, which is shining a light on the total 0:26:08.680 --> 0:26:12.080 bullshit that is the cheating of the tush push, delights 0:26:12.119 --> 0:26:14.680 me even more.

Some 0:27:58.240 --> 0:28:01.040 people would say you went on a line about the 0:28:01.119 --> 0:28:03.840 tush push and now unfair it is. Uh. You've had 0:28:03.880 --> 0:28:06.840 twenty four hours to reconsider. Are you going to walk 0:28:06.840 --> 0:28:08.359 it back? Or are you still sour on it? 0:28:10.640 --> 0:28:14.679 Listen, and you have to be my eyewitness on this, 0:28:14.800 --> 0:28:25.280 demanse Okay, okay, well before the Eagles and Chiefs ever 0:28:25.359 --> 0:28:28.600 played in any Super Bowls, before the Chiefs beat them 0:28:28.640 --> 0:28:31.040 in the Super Bowl, before the Eagles were a real 0:28:31.160 --> 0:28:35.120 top flight contender. When we were doing the show from 0:28:35.280 --> 0:28:40.520 Trentage your mom's store in Harlem together, I hated this play. 0:28:41.280 --> 0:28:44.600 Can you confirm that that is true? 0:28:44.800 --> 0:28:46.280
