1
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: Welcome in What's Right with Nick Right Episode three sixty two.

2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: This episode is presented as always by our great friends

3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: at boost Mobile. We are hours away from the start

4
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 1: of the NFL season, which means we are hours away

5
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: from the end of at least in my mind. The

6
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: Eagles reign as champions like once a new season starts,

7
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: it's a clean slate, boys and girls. And I and

8
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: I'm at the damn us Open last night that the

9
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 1: watching osaka crush Cinner is I know, I said Sinners,

10
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: not now Crais's class. Oh boy, center up close and

11
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: personal look pretty good. And I'm walking out the good,

12
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: good seats. And the only reason I can say that

13
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: they were really good seats is I'm surrounded by people

14
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: who ostensibly one would think have pretty good jobs, relatively successful.

15
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: These are expensive quarterfinal seats to the open, some some dope,

16
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: Nick Right, When are you gonna start giving the Eagles respect?

17
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: You guys won the Super Bowl, Just shut up and

18
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: be happy to I and and again like I'm I

19
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: I am not naturally anti Eagles, but I'm becoming it.

20
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: Like the the only person who the most reasonable person

21
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: in the last eight months who's been angry at me

22
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: about my Eagles opinions and actually treated it like me,

23
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: like an adult, and had a conversation. Was the mother

24
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: of the quarterback. Every other fan seems more emotionally invested

25
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: than she did. Like, it's too much, guys, it's just

26
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 1: too much, demons. How are you?

27
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 2: I'm doing great, Pops. Sorry, Philly fans have got you all.

28
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: Right, man, it's just too much. Like leave me alone,

29
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: like the I am out here providing free content for

30
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: the masses, hours upon hours a day. I don't ask

31
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: for anything, So let me watch the tennis and pe

32
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: my god, all right, A lot to get to today

33
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: Week one gambling show. If you guys didn't follow last year,

34
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: you didn't, you cost yourself some money. After four consecutive

35
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: years of being big included profitable, two years ago we

36
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: had our first losing year ever. Now, to be fair,

37
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: the losing year once you included the playoffs was one

38
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 1: game below five hundred, but a losing year all the

39
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: same because you have to be a bunch of games

40
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: above five hundred offset the big. We came back last

41
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: season forty eight and forty in the regular season fifty

42
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: six and forty four overall, So a really great overall season,

43
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: but we're gonna try to do even better, particularly because

44
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: Danny park and somehow with a lot of line shopping.

45
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 1: I think it's a little funny money involved on that.

46
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 2: Uh.

47
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: He was at sixty five percent, which was the best

48
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: of any person on national television of all. Our lines,

49
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: by the way, are provided by our new friends at

50
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: hard Rock Bet, which is super exciting. More on them

51
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: in a moment, But first, Demanse, let's get to straight

52
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 1: to voicemail brought to you by Boost Mobile, so Taylor

53
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: Swift might do a halftime show that the Clippers story.

54
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: Great job by Pablo Torri. It seems to be a

55
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: really big story. I'm just two into football right now,

56
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: and I need to see what the NBA does before

57
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: I spend a lot of time on it. I'm not

58
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: minimizing the story. It's just bad timing. If it were July,

59
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 1: I might do a whole episode on it. It's September

60
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: fourth and football starts today. Apologies, it's not what I

61
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: am super into. I am into this and put this

62
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: on social media, folks, because again, I'm not in the

63
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: business Demanse, of going out of my way to defend ESPN.

64
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: I am in the business, however, of correcting obvious factual errors.

65
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: And there are a few things about commercials coming to

66
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: Red Zone that must be addressed in no particular order.

67
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: First of all, they were there last year. It's not new.

68
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys were paying attention last season.

69
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: Scott Hansen near the end of the year stopped saying

70
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: welcome to seven hours of commercial free football. At least

71
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 1: on a couple Sundays, he just said, welcome to seven

72
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: hours of football. And if you were watching Red Zone occasionally,

73
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 1: all of a sudden it was split screen. The football

74
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: was on one half, the screen of Burger King commercials

75
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: on the other, with the audio from the commercial that

76
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: already happened. That's first of all. Second of all, this

77
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: is not ESPN's doing. They were already doing it. ESPN

78
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: has not taken over the property yet. This is the

79
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: NFL's doing. So everybody that either knows better and is

80
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: just using it to bang on ESPN or doesn't know better.

81
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: But they were scrolling a Twitter and mL Football or

82
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: some faceless, nameless aggregator put it out there and they

83
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: ran with it.

84
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 2: You are.

85
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: Doing a disservice to the public at large in spreading misinformation.

86
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: Is it the biggest deal in the world.

87
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 2: No?

88
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: Is it an annoying yes? Third of all. And this

89
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: is the parts where people are gonna get mad at me, guys.

90
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: The fact that for more than a decade we've been

91
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: able to if we wanted to turn on football on

92
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: Sundays and not have a single ad serve to us

93
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: was always always kind of a cheat we didn't really deserve.

94
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: Like the idea that we are entitled to be able

95
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: to watch this product without any sponsorship coming into it.

96
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: I never totally understood. And it's not like red Zone

97
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: costs hundreds of dollars a year. It'd be one thing

98
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: if it was like a super premium subscription that you

99
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: pay five hundred dollars a year for red Zone, pay

100
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: a lot of money for Sunday ticket, not for red Zone.

101
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 1: And here's the last part and the most important part

102
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: before we get to the show. And this is gonna

103
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: be the controversial part. And this might hurt the feelings

104
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: of some people in the working on this pod, might

105
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: hurt the feelings of some people a lot of people

106
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: listening to the show. Sorry, hard truths need to come.

107
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: No self respecting NFL fan consumes the NFL purely through

108
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: red Zone. Sorry had to be said. Sorry, you cannot

109
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: get a real temperature of the league, or understanding of

110
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: the games, or know who's good or who's bad if

111
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: you have a one TV red zone only set up,

112
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: like you just watch a game, be an adult. Understand

113
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 1: the EBB and the flow, learn how teams to quote

114
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: the great Hank Stram, matriculate the ball down the field,

115
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 1: not just popcorning candy of touchdown and turnover and punt return.

116
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: My god, now listen. If you're a very casual sports fan,

117
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: you know it's just one of the things, no problem.

118
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: But if you consider yourself a real NFL fan and

119
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: your entirety of Sunday is one TV just on red zone,

120
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: you're lying to yourself. I'm just telling you right now

121
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: that that would be no different than if you're like, oh,

122
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: I'm a die hard NBA fan, love it, bet on it,

123
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: know all the teams, Oh yeah, how do you watch

124
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: bleacher report clips? Highlights? Throw off everybody again, put some

125
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: effort in to your fandom. And so this whole red

126
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: zone thing has really got me. And I I'm not

127
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: acting as if everyone's job is to cover the NFL.

128
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: That's my job. Okay, my job. You guys don't have

129
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: to do it. But if you have a team you love,

130
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: you gotta watch their all their games, their games standalone,

131
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: own screen. Now, if you're like, hey, I watch my

132
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: team whatever the national game is, and I second screen

133
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: red Zone, great, you're doing awesome. You're you're doing great. Yeah,

134
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: that's that's that is appropriate. If you are really really

135
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: in the weeds and you want to, you know, be

136
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 1: split screening games on Sunday ticket, let I just tell you, guys,

137
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: how I my setup, which I think yes, And again,

138
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 1: I'm not asking everybody. I do this for a living.

139
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,319
Speaker 1: I'm not asking everyone do the setup that I have.

140
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: What I am saying is, don't tell me you love

141
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: the NFL, And then I find it no different. If

142
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, yeah, I just watch red Zone. Then

143
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: if I text you on Sunday at two thirty Eastern,

144
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: you know, week three, and I'm like, hey, did you

145
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: see that? And you're like, no, I'm at an apple orchard,

146
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: Like what do you do?

147
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 2: What do you mean?

148
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: Like? No, so I'm gonna catch the night game. Like

149
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: we only get eighteen of these a year. They're pretty precious.

150
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: And again, everyone pick what they want to do. But

151
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 1: don't tell me you love the league diehard. Oh, I

152
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: bet the games. I'm in fantasy leagues. I'm in this.

153
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: And the only announcer you've heard for twenty years is

154
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: Scott Hansen. Don't tell me that. If you can't if

155
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: you can't name that, tune this quickly on Joe Davis

156
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 1: or Kevin Harlan, much less Tony Romo or Troy Aikman's voice,

157
00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 1: then then I'm questioning your fandom. The way I consume

158
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: is we have upside down triangle of TVs. Okay, uh,

159
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: two big screens in the one very big screen in

160
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: my office, which is really a hallway like like it's

161
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: a set up little bit. It's yeah, it's it's uh.

162
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: The I love my house in New York City. One

163
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: of the downsides of a Brownstone is their narrow properties,

164
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: and so I have just I have carved out in

165
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: our five thousand square feet demons. I've carved out one

166
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty for me and your Mom's got the

167
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 1: rest and top left TV red zone, by the way,

168
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: very often with sound, top right TV, biggest game, bottom TV,

169
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: the biggest TV, split screen into four games of my choosing,

170
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: and that way you can follow almost every game sound

171
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: on red zone. Make sure the time the TVs are

172
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: sync dump time wise and you got it. You don't

173
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: even really have to watch red Zone. You listen, you look,

174
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: you do this all. That's that's how we do it.

175
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 2: TVs. Are you putting the Chiefs game on? When that comes?

176
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 2: Is at the bottom line.

177
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: The stand top right, the top left, red zone. Well,

178
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: the thing is this, I don't It's not really a

179
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: problem these days, Demansey, because the Chiefs only play one

180
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: o'clock on Sunday, like twice a year the Chiefs. Usually

181
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: when the Chiefs are playing, there's no other football games

182
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: being played because they know the NFL knows what the

183
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: main event is, so the Chiefs game. I walk about

184
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: eight feet from the hallway that is my office to

185
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: our living room and we have the TV that used

186
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: to be you know what statute of limitations been long enough?

187
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: Remember back when I did the show remotely, when I

188
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: did the show, you know from my house, part of

189
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: our background was this one hundred inch HD screen that

190
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: we used as part of the first thing's first background.

191
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: We stopped doing the shows remotely, and I just never

192
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: gave that back. And now that's the TV that I

193
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: watched the standalone games on. It's massive office and I

194
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: mean living room by myself or with the family.

195
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 2: That's it.

196
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 1: God, dogget Football's here. I'm so excited. That was a

197
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 1: little Also, that was the longest straight voicemail we've ever done,

198
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: shut out boost Mobile, but again too long, didn't read.

199
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: ESPN didn't do anything wrong. There were already commercials on

200
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: Red Zone. They're not going to be cutting to a

201
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: full commercial. It's going to be split screen. But most importantly,

202
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: be an adult and watch a game. All right, let's

203
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 1: get to it tomorrow.

204
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 2: Say uh yeah, so starting tonight, the NFL is officially back.

205
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 2: We'll get the game in a second. But what do

206
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 2: you think there's gonna be some of the bigger headlines

207
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 2: or storylines this year in the NFL?

208
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: All right, So I'm gonna do this the way I

209
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: do almost the way my brain works is weird, like

210
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: I have to visualize either a map or a chart

211
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: or a piece of paper to make sure I don't

212
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 1: leave anything out. So like yesterday, for first things first,

213
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: a little pre show trivia thing. Gianna asked me, can

214
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: I name the twelve cities that have all four professional

215
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: sports leagues? And I was one hundred percent confident I

216
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: would be able to do that. But the only way

217
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: that I was gonna be able to do that was

218
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: to close my eyes and see a map and just

219
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: start it in Maine and then work down and up

220
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: and down and up. So I'm gonna do something similar

221
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 1: here where I am just going to go through the

222
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: divisions and talk about what I think the biggest storyline

223
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: is AFC East. Biggest storyline, very clearly is can the

224
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: Bill can tell Again, this is the regular season storylines,

225
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 1: not the postseason storylines, because that's a separate thing, and

226
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: we have all off season talk about postseason stuff. We're

227
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: now in the regular season. AFCs storyline is very very clearly,

228
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: do the Bills have any competition whatsoever? If they do,

229
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: it would have to be from the New England Patriots,

230
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: at least in my opinion. And I think the Jets

231
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: injury yesterday of Elisha Vera Tucker was brutal for him,

232
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: losing him for the year. By the way, sidebar, We're

233
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: gonna have a very you guys can tell my energies

234
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: up I'm very excited. Note for again football fans out there,

235
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: I'm going to translate for you guys how to read

236
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: the insider's injury reports these days. Okay, if they do

237
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: not send a tweet at all, that player might have

238
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: been slightly injured but probably will play, but it doesn't

239
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: make the news. If they send a tweet that says

240
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: such and such got banged up but is expected to

241
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: be totally fine, that usually means he's going to miss

242
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: a week or two. If they send a tweet that

243
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: says avoided serious injury, consider him out a month. And

244
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: if they send a tweet like they did about Elijah

245
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: Vera Tucker yesterday, which is the team is concerned that

246
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: poor guy might have been metavacked off the field for

247
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: all we know, and he is almost assuredly out for

248
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:44,359
Speaker 1: the year. I don't know why, and the insiders all collectively,

249
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: I do know why. It's because they get the information

250
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: from agents and they don't want to make the agents mad,

251
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: and so they just soft pedal everything. But like Naji Harris,

252
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: the reporting was he's totally fine. You know, scary situation,

253
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: but the fireworks don't worry about. But meanwhile they play Friday.

254
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: We still haven't seen him without sunglasses on. Seems like

255
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: that was too much fourth of July. The avoided serious

256
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: injury usually means he was seriously injured, but he's not

257
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: out for the year and the team is very concerned,

258
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: means he's done for the season. So when I saw

259
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: that with Elijah Arra Tucker, the initial reporting like, Oh,

260
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: this poor guy who's dealt with so many injuries, he's

261
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: probably out for the year. He is in fact out

262
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: for the year. But the AFSE storyline is can anybody

263
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: give the Bills any type of resistance? The answer is

264
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: probably know the AFC North Demond's storyline to me is

265
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: not about the Ravens. I think the Ravens at this

266
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: point are the known quantity. We expect them to be

267
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: excellent every regular season. What were you saying since he

268
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: is yes.

269
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 2: What's happening with them going to continue? Are they? Are

270
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 2: the defense going to get better?

271
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 1: Can Cincinnati become a contender? Again? Like? That's the fact

272
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 1: of the matter is this. Cincinnati exploded onto the scene

273
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 1: in year two with Joe Burrow shockingly upset the Chiefs

274
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 1: in the AFC Championship Game after being down huge at halftime.

275
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: The very next year came back. We're back in the

276
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: AFC Championship game, and then a game that gets a

277
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: little forgotten the details of it. Joe Burrow had a

278
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: really rough second half of that game, including a devastating

279
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: fourth quarter interception, and they lose. They haven't played a

280
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 1: playoff game since then. The next year got derailed by

281
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: Joe's injuries, but they were four and four with him playing,

282
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: and last year got derailed by the defense. You can't

283
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: miss the playoffs three straight years and be a real contender,

284
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: and so can they get back to being an eleven,

285
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 1: maybe even twelve win team. That's the AFC North storyline,

286
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: the AFC South storyline, as much as I'd like to

287
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: make it about Travis and I don't know if you

288
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 1: guys saw the Travis and Trevor commercial, but it's just delightful.

289
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: It's so you haven't seen it, demanse watch it after

290
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: the show with the sound on. Now. Some some people

291
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:16,479
Speaker 1: might call it cringe. I find it charming. But it's

292
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 1: an Adidas commercial with like an eighty soundtrack and a

293
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:23,719
Speaker 1: lot of really weird dance moves between Travis and Trevor Lawrence.

294
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: But the storyline there is not about Travis as much

295
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: as I'd love it to be. It's about the Texans

296
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 1: new offensive coordinator and can c J. Stroud?

297
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 2: Uh?

298
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: Can c J Stroud get back to year one CJ Stroud?

299
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 1: Now I'm not I'm not drawing a direct line here, Demanse,

300
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: but I do think it is worth noting that CJ. Stroud,

301
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: up until the moment he put his arm around Caleb Williams,

302
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 1: was like, listen up, young buck, let me let me

303
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: teach you a thing or two. I think had twenty

304
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: four touchdowns, five picks, a one oh one career rating,

305
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: and was like twelve and six as a starter. Since

306
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: then he has seventeen touchdowns, twelve picks and eighty five

307
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: rating and his seven and seven as a starter. I'm

308
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: not saying those things are connected. I am saying I'm

309
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: interested in the timeline of it. New offensive coordinator. Can

310
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 1: he get back to being the CJ. Stroud he looked

311
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: like as a rookie? Now, they did win a playoff game,

312
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 1: so you back to back years won a playoff gameing

313
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: and credit for that and the AFC West. The storyline's

314
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: very very obvious, which is can anyone once Every year,

315
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 1: the AFC West has a great offseason. Every year the

316
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 1: Chargers or the Broncos or the Raiders make a move

317
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: that made the Chiefs nervous. Every year there is a well,

318
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 1: next year will be different until the games start and

319
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: then come Thanksgiving we're talking about the Chiefs magic number

320
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: to clinch the division by three or four games. Will

321
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: this year be different? Will the Chiefs actually have to

322
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: you know, win a late season game to win the

323
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: division or will they be able to rest people? So

324
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 1: the AFC is covered. Nfcast storyline is twofold. It's very obvious.

325
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: Can Philly you know, continue on the stretch. It was

326
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: on after Week four last year where the only game

327
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: they lost was a game Jalen Hurts got knocked out

328
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 1: of and a first cousin of that is Ken Washington.

329
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: Proved that last year wasn't a you know, win all

330
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 1: the close games get a little lucky year. But they

331
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: actually are building a real contender. That's the NFC East.

332
00:20:55,160 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: The NFC North demon's a most interesting yeah, man, I

333
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 1: mean you could. The Vikings are the least interesting. They're

334
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,959
Speaker 1: starting a first round pick to facto rookie quarterback. They

335
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 1: won fourteen games last year, the Packers just traded for

336
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: Micah freaking Parsons the Bears Caleb's under as much pressure

337
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: as any player in the league. And then the Lions

338
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 1: amazing regular season last year fell on their face in

339
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: the playoffs, lost both coordinators. Is that going to have

340
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: a long tail? Like? Those are the stories there. Luckily,

341
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: the NFC North covers all the interesting for the NFC South,

342
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 1: which there's it's just bake show and is it possible

343
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: the two worst teams in the league are both in

344
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: the same division, which is rare in the Saints and

345
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: the Panthers. It could happen, It's rare. And then the

346
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: NFC West de Monsey is was last year a blip

347
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: for the Niners or it was last year the canary

348
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: in the coal mine that they sadly missed their window

349
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 1: and they're gonna have to reboot it a bit. Shanahan's

350
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: comments about you know this being a bit of a

351
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 1: reboot and fans being patient leaned you one way, brought

352
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 1: Purdy's comments that we're good enough to win the Super

353
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 1: Bowl lean you another. But those are league wide the

354
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: biggest storylines headed into the season. Anything you want to add,

355
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 1: anything you take issue with.

356
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 2: Now, I'm pretty in line with you and all that stuff.

357
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:32,959
Speaker 2: I do. The Falcons might make it a little bit

358
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 2: closer in the NFC south over there. But uh but.

359
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, So here's the thing. I think the Falcons could

360
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: be a playoff team, but I think the Bucks might

361
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: win thirteen games. So it's the now maybe I'm over

362
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 1: you know. I obviously am super high on the Bucks.

363
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: I am in the super Bowl, but I don't I

364
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 1: think the Falcons could be better than they're getting credit

365
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: for and still not really compete for the division. All right,

366
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: we'll get to Week one in just a second. But first,

367
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,880

00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 2: So Philadelphia is hosting Dallas tonight at five twenty or

397
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 2: wherever wherever you guys are.

398
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: Yes, eight twenty. Amnse you always go with Eastern time zone. Listen.

399
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: I'm a Central time zone guy. I know you're on

400
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 1: the West coast, but nobody, you can't lead with the

401
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: West coast time You just can't. It's only yeah. I mean,

402
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: the only time zone no one ever has once in

403
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 1: their life led with is Mountain time zone. But you

404
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: really can't lead with West Coast.

405
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 2: A right food for thought. So they'll be hanging the

406
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 2: banner tonight. And that apparently was news to Nick Sirianni.

407
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 2: Do you think that Philly has gone too far with

408
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 2: the whole we're forgetting about the Super Bowl eyes? I

409
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 2: had on the prize stick spiel. Yeah, very performative over

410
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 2: there in Philly.

411
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 1: Performative is the exact right ward. I here's the thing.

412
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 1: I don't mind weird take. I don't mind being lied to.

413
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 1: I I understand that at times, God this is uh,

414
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: my mother would be ashamed of me. I understand that

415
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: at times, lies or the lubrication that makes society keep turning.

416
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 1: I get it, Like there are times where it is

417
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 1: just objectively lying is the right thing to do. I

418
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: get that. My only request is that your lie be

419
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 1: at least a tiny bit believable. And Nick Sirianni looking

420
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: at the assembled Philadelphia media and saying, yeah, oh it's

421
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: banner nite. I didn't know that. Yeah, we won't be

422
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 1: out there. Not only is not believable, it also if

423
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: you were, you know, in a police interrogating room the

424
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,919
Speaker 1: moment you finished the sentence, they'd be like, oh, you

425
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,199
Speaker 1: know you messed up there, right, If you didn't know

426
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 1: what was going on, how do you know you won't

427
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: be out there for all?

428
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 2: You know?

429
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: They drop it mid first drive, Jalen hurts, drop it

430
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: back to pass ban or bang like the I mean,

431
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 1: so just just so performative and silly. And now here

432
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: is the more interesting take DeMont in my opinion, because

433
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: Jalen to is the leader of this team, and Jalen

434
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: set the template by saying, yeah, I'm not wearing I'll

435
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: never wear the ring. You know, I'm putting it, you

436
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: know in wherever he said he's putting it and moving

437
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: on and that's fine. By the way, I'm not criticizing

438
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts for that. Here is my question. So Jalen

439
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 1: said that, and then it felt to me like Sirianni

440
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,919
Speaker 1: was like, all right, you're not wearing the ring. I

441
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 1: didn't even know we want that was the Super Bowl.

442
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: I was wondering why it was six months before our

443
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 1: last game. I thought it was week twenty two. The

444
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: confetti was weird at the time. I didn't know. So

445
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 1: here's my question. Let's say Jalen had gone the other way, which,

446
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 1: by the way, Jalen and he's earned this has such

447
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 1: universal approval. If he had done the exact opposite of

448
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: what he's doing, people would love it too. If every

449
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: single press conference he had the ring on, if all

450
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 1: he talked about was the ring, if he was like, yeah,

451
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: we got a lot of new players on this team.

452
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: I want them to know this is what you fight for.

453
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: This is the whole goal. I'm gonna during the games,

454
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna wear it on a chain around my neck

455
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: like this is it is a daily reminder. He would

456
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: like people would have been like, man, this guy, he gets it.

457
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: But let's just say that was his approach if that

458
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: were his approach. When Sirianni was asked about Banner Nite,

459
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: would Sirianni have been like, I didn't know what was

460
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: Banner Nite? Or would he have been like, damn straight,

461
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: in fact, look show a tattoo. I know what the

462
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: banner is gonna look like. It's tatted right here, and

463
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: and all our players we're going to be out there

464
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: locked arms saluting the banner like this is the whole point.

465
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: You guys are focused on stats and numbers like. It

466
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: does feel like Jalen set the tone and now Nick

467
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: is trying to follow, which is fine. Like, again, that

468
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: might be the right thing to do.

469
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it would be weird if they were opposites on

470
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 2: this thing, correct, it makes more sense for them.

471
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: It did feel like Sirianni overdid it a bit with

472
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: the I didn't know it was banner Nite. All right.

473
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 2: It's if they're pretending that they that that didn't happen.

474
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 2: Does the Chief super Bowl did that not happen?

475
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: Well, well, listen, the Chiefs are not doing that. I

476
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: mean the Chief Kelsey you know, doesn't want to talk

477
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: about it. Chris Jones did talk about it something. Chris

478
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: Jones is like listen like, I think it's a learning experience.

479
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: I think be better for it. I do think it's

480
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: important for teams to turn the page. I think it's

481
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: silly to pretend like something didn't happen. That's all, all right,

482
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: let's get to some other things on this game or

483
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: on this topic.

484
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, what are you expecting from the game tonight? Domination?

485
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: So probably probably Philly, you know, just beats them badly.

486
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: Possibly Dak plays out of his mind and the Cowboys hang.

487
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: The Cowboys' only path is scoring thirty one or more like,

488
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: here's a here. This is not a bet I would

489
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: be making. But if you're gonna bet the Cowboys on

490
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: the money line, go ahead and include Cowboys alternate over

491
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: twenty seven and a half points. There is no path

492
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys to win this game twenty to seventeen.

493
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: That doesn't exist in my in my eyes, their only

494
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: path is thirty one twenty eight. Dak plays great Eagles,

495
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: young pass rush and young secondary, you know, has some

496
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: miscommunications CD and pickings get loose, and all of a

497
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: sudden you know that it is a game where Jalen

498
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: has to drop back a bunch and I'm not saying

499
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: he can't do that, but it's obviously not the script

500
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: that they are used to play. So but I'm expecting

501
00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: if I had to guess seven seventeen Philly's that's how

502
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 1: this one feels to me. But that's not gonna be

503
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: one of my bets later. All right, last one on this.

504
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 2: Do you think it's weird for us to not open

505
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 2: the NFL with the Chiefs game?

506
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: It is. It's the first time in three years, and

507
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: the last two were really noteworthy for two different reasons.

508
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: The Lions game was noteworthy personally because eight hours before it,

509
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: I had guaranteed the Chiefs were gonna go undefeated and

510
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: got a tattoo to, you know, really canonize that, and

511
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: then they lost their first game. But for more importantly,

512
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: it was a sign of the things to come that

513
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: would ail the Chiefs that season, because if you remember

514
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: that game, flipped a perfect pass to Kadarius Tony that

515
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: popped up and was in the air and went the

516
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: other way, and then at the very end of the

517
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: game another perfect pass on fourth down that was just

518
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: flat dropped, and it was like, oh, could the drops

519
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: for a problem for Kansas City? And they were Last

520
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 1: year was a classic for different reasons, because Lamar tried

521
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: almost led that comeback and then the Isaiah Likely foot

522
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: on the line game, and what that portended as far

523
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 1: as things to come was idiots saying it's rigged for

524
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: the Chiefs based on correctly called decisions, because if you remember,

525
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: last year, Likely was out of bounds, and people somehow

526
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: got their hair up about it about how that was unfair.

527
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: It was unlucky, but it wasn't unfair. And then the

528
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: next week the Chiefs have a fourth and six against

529
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: Cincinnati converted, there is a hold called on Kansas City,

530
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: they take it away. They have a fourth and sixteen,

531
00:33:56,120 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: they get absolutely obliterated in a past interference. It's correctly called,

532
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: and people find a way to go on TV the

533
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: next day and be like that was the right call,

534
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 1: but I hate it, okay, buddy. Yeah, And and there

535
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 1: was also yeah. Week one has been noteworthy the last

536
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 1: couple of years, and three years ago Week one, I

537
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 1: wonder if I wonder if I could do this just

538
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 1: real quick. Last year, Chiefs meet the Bills on the

539
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 1: likely play. Year before, Chiefs lose to the Lions. Year

540
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 1: before that, the Bills. I'm sorry, Chiefs Chiefs meet the Ravens. Yeah, sorry, misspoken.

541
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: Year before Chiefs Lions, the Bills blow out the Rams.

542
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: Year before that was Tampa Dallas. Tampa won, And the

543
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 1: year before that was Chiefs Texans. Right after the twenty

544
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: four to nothing comeback for the Chiefs, and the Chiefs

545
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 1: will beat the Texans soundly. Those are the the matchups

546
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: that I remember the best. Are the last matchups? All right,

547
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: let's get to the Chiefs before we get to our picks.

548
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 2: Chiefs are headed to Brazil to play the Chargers Friday.

549
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 2: So the storyline headed into this season has been the

550
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 2: return of the Laser Show with the Chiefs. How much

551
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,359
Speaker 2: of that do you think we'll see in Game one?

552
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 1: I know they're gonna try and I know that it

553
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 1: is been the focus of the offseason is pushing the

554
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 1: ball down the field. But the Chargers know that too,

555
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: and so this is I know, this is not what

556
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: people want to hear, and it's probably not what people

557
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 1: want to see, but this isn't a game that you

558
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: fool around with. It's a Charger team that won double

559
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 1: digit games, is well coached, has a good quarterback last year,

560
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: the number one scoring defense in the league, it is

561
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 1: a weird game because it's in Brazil and the following

562
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 1: week you play Philadelphia, and that is so because of that.

563
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 1: While I would love for the Chiefs to be able

564
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 1: to do a style points type of game, it's not

565
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: the type of game they're in. And because the Chiefs

566
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:53,240
Speaker 1: just in the last game they played got their teeth

567
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: kicked in, more important than anything is a win. So

568
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:04,800
Speaker 1: I don't I do have confidence that at some point

569
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 1: this year you are going to see what people call

570
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 1: vintage Mahomes. Okay, I don't know that you're going to

571
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 1: see it immediately to start the season, and I don't

572
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,879
Speaker 1: know how much Rashi Rice not being there is going

573
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 1: to impact it. What I do know is starting out

574
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: zero to one after losing the Super Bowl and then

575
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 1: having Philadelphia in week two is not a scenario that

576
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: I would relish. So if by the flow of the

577
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: game this is a conservative game plan, I'm okay with it.

578
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: Like they now. It should be noted the last time

579
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: the Chiefs were in a spot like this where they

580
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 1: lost their final game of the year in heartbreaking fashion

581
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:15,360
Speaker 1: and was the twenty twenty two season. They lost twenty

582
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 1: twenty one to the Bengals and the playoffs. They then

583
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: traded away Tyreek Hill. That year, they started off with

584
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 1: an absolute light show. Mahomes threw for three sixty and

585
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 1: five touchdowns in his first game without Tyreek Hill, and

586
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 1: they annihilated the Cardinals. But the Cardinals are not the Chargers,

587
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: And I'm trying to remember thee the year before that,

588
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 1: after losing the Super Bowl to Tampa, they started off

589
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: against Cleveland and they scored I'm looking it up right now,

590
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: thirty three. But I don't oh, I was gonna say

591
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: I anything. Mahomes had a huge game. He did, but

592
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: that was also a very important game because they then

593
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 1: lost their next two games. That was the year they

594
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 1: started three and four before ripping off, you know, a

595
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 1: hell of a run en route to getting to that

596
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 1: AFC Championship game. So the point I'm making here is

597
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: I don't think they have the luxury this year of

598
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: worrying about style points before Rashid comes back. When Chargers

599
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 1: in Brazil home for Philly at the Giants, and that

600
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: pass rush home for Baltimore at Jacksonville home for Detroit,

601
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:44,839
Speaker 1: those are your six games without Rashi, So we'll see

602
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 1: what it looks like. But if you're asking me, would

603
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: I feel better about a thirty eight thirty five Chiefs

604
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: loss where Mahomes is unbelievable but Herbert plays out of

605
00:39:57,040 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: his mind, or if it's the exact games script of

606
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 1: the win against Denver last year sixteen fourteen with a

607
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 1: blocked field goal at the end, I'll take the sixteen

608
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 1: fourteen win. Given the context of where we're at with

609
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:11,839
Speaker 1: the season right now.

610
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 2: Are you always all right about the turf out there

611
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:17,800
Speaker 2: in Brazil, like there was a lot of problems with

612
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 2: green Bay and Philly last year.

613
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:28,280
Speaker 1: I hope not. I try. I try not to concern

614
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: that would if I were betting a total in this game,

615
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: that would be a bigger concern. But I just in

616
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 1: twenty the year the Chiefs that I'm talking about, twenty

617
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 1: twenty two, when they started the year off against Arizona.

618
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: Arizona had some weird field something I don't quite remember,

619
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:53,479
Speaker 1: but I remember Bucker got hurt on it and hurt

620
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 1: his knee, and so I that Am I nervous about it? Yeah?

621
00:40:58,480 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: Do I want to focus on it?

622
00:40:59,680 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 2: No?

623
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 1: Excuse me? All right, let's get to Rogers and the Jets.

624
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: But first a follow up. I gotta tell you this

625
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 1: might actually be the the best case scenario. Robert, I'm

626
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 1: gonna say B. I don't know that I'm gonna can

627
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 1: say his last name. Robert B, who Tuesday DMed the

628
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 1: show or messaged the show in the chat and asked

629
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 1: me if I was interested in going to Augusta has

630
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 1: followed up and this is what he writes. Yes, the

631
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 1: Augusta offer is real, but it's to come watch the

632
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: pro's practice round Tuesday before the Masters, not to play around.

633
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: Offer still stands if interested DM my account. I gotta

634
00:41:56,600 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 1: tell you that is ideal to be able to go

635
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: to Augusta watch and not have the pressure of having

636
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 1: to actually Demansey. I was trying to. I was doing

637
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 1: measurements in our garage to see if I could have

638
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:12,879
Speaker 1: a golf simulator installed in there so I could crank

639
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 1: it like I I. I was so on tilt about

640
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 1: not being able to turn down Augusta but being the

641
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 1: worst golfer to ever play Augusta. All right, that sounds

642
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 1: honestly perfect. I think I absolutely want to do it.

643
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 1: I will ask our producers to get you know, whatever

644
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 1: his account is, I don't know how it works. Get

645
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 1: his info. But yeah, go to Augusta just to watch

646
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 1: walk around, eat some pimento and cheese sandwiches. Oh my

647
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 1: sounds what a dream. All right, let's get to Aaron

648
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 1: Rodgers quickly before we get to our picks.

649
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. So Aaron Rodgers debut will come against his former

650
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 2: team in the Jets. What do you expect from Aaron

651
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 2: Rodgers this game and this year?

652
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 1: Mediocre and not much? And I just want to be

653
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 1: on I don't want to spend a lot of time

654
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:10,360
Speaker 1: on it. I just want to be on the record

655
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 1: about this. The amount of denial not as many as

656
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 1: last year, but some folks in sports media have been

657
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 1: about what to expect from forty one year old Aaron

658
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: Rodgers this year when he's gonna be forty two is

659
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 1: just baffling to me, Like truly baffling to me. This guy.

660
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: We saw him last season, and we saw him blame

661
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 1: teammates for his mistakes. We saw his inability to move.

662
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 1: We saw him throw away the Vikings game, score nine

663
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 1: points against the Broncos, throw Mike Williams under the bus.

664
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,959
Speaker 1: We saw all of it, and I do.

665
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 2: Think everybody looks at it in a sense, it's Aaron Rodgers,

666
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 2: and it must be the team. Like you throw him

667
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 2: on another team that might work coup.

668
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:08,879
Speaker 1: And that would have been fine. A decade ago. He's

669
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: forty one and he popped his achilles like. So my

670
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:18,840
Speaker 1: answer is, I do not think Rogers is going to

671
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:22,239
Speaker 1: be good. I do not think Rogers is going to

672
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 1: this year be a top twenty quarterback in the league.

673
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:30,319
Speaker 1: Doesn't change. He's one of the greatest players ever. It's

674
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 1: just I don't think he is going to get the

675
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 1: Brett far final year, second to last year in Minnesota

676
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 1: where he almost won MVP and took him to the

677
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 1: conference championship game. I don't think that is in the

678
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:46,240
Speaker 1: cards here, all right, Before we get to our picks,

Speaker 2: It is time.

695
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 1: Five picks Demonse's teaser. Maybe some exotics, some survivors. Oh,

696
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:48,360
Speaker 1: before we get to it, Survivor thing tricky spot for me.

697
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,800
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm gonna give out Survivor picks on

698
00:45:52,840 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 1: the show this year because I have too much I'm in.

699
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: So here's the deal on these Survivor contests. So I

700
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:09,240
Speaker 1: tweeted out the link to it. You can go Splash

701
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 1: sports slash nick right to see all the different contests.

702
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: The twenty five dollars one super fun. You can have

703
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 1: as many entries as you want. In fact, let me

704
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 1: and we haven't gotten there's not a ton of entries

705
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 1: in that right now. Let me see what the latest

706
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 1: number is on that. It was like three hundred and so,

707
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 1: but that's you know, winnable. That should be fun. It's yeah,

708
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 1: it's three forty is right now. So if you just

709
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 1: want to have a fun survivor thing, if that were

710
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:39,879
Speaker 1: the only one I was doing, I would give out

711
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 1: my picks on the show. But now we have a

712
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 1: very tricky situation with the one that I'm taking on.

713
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:55,359
Speaker 1: Helm you thin, because it is guaranteed demands that the

714
00:46:55,400 --> 00:47:02,439
Speaker 1: winner gets a minimum of one million dollars. Okay, it's

715
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:05,840
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars to enter. You can have up to

716
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:10,240
Speaker 1: six entries. So if there is a guarantee of a million,

717
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 1: and it's five k a person, that means you would

718
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 1: need to have two hundred entries exactly two hundred times

719
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 1: five thousands of million bucks. Right right now, it's sitting

720
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 1: on eighty one entries, which means there is four hundred

721
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 1: and five thousand dollars of entries, and we call it

722
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 1: four hundred thousand entries and six hundred thousand dollars of

723
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 1: what we call in the gambling world. And overlay that

724
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 1: the house at the moment, if it started right now,

725
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:52,720
Speaker 1: every entry all of a sudden instead of being worth

726
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 1: five grand. Let me do this math real quick.

727
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 2: What is hold on?

728
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 1: What's a million divided by eighty. Uh that's what I thought.

729
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:04,799
Speaker 1: Every if it started right now, every injury would be

730
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 1: worth twelve and a half thousand dollars. Does that make

731
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 1: Do you understand what I'm saying that Like some think

732
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 1: about like this, Yeah, there's less people and so you're already.

733
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:18,359
Speaker 1: So if it ends with one hundred injries at five

734
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 1: k each, the prize pool should be half a million bucks.

735
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 1: But the prize pool is a guaranteed million dollars. So

736
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:29,359
Speaker 1: if you again, five grand's a ton ton ton of money.

737
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 2: You have to put more money. If you and people,

738
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:33,280
Speaker 2: what do you have to put it in?

739
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:38,360
Speaker 1: No? I don't no, no, no, well I mean no, the

740
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 1: company does, like the they're they're the house. They're guaranteeing it.

741
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 1: So what I'm making is this, if you and some

742
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 1: bodies out there like want to pool resources or combine,

743
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 1: at the moment, it's the best value survivor pool there is.

744
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:57,799
Speaker 1: Like now, if we if they get a ton of

745
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:01,440
Speaker 1: injries between now and Sunday, they obviously want to hit

746
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 1: the guarantee. They want to get two hundred entries. It'll

747
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:07,359
Speaker 1: never be negative you know, minus EV, but right now

748
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 1: it is hugely plus EV and so.

749
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:15,120
Speaker 2: People have knock out as well coetition.

750
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 1: Here's another question. And so the reason that I'm not

751
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 1: going to give out my Survivor picks is because we're

752
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 1: playing for real money. Here's the question, though, demons. Because

753
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 1: I have multiple entries in this thing. I've got, uh,

754
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 1: I've got right now two, I'm going to have three. Okay,

755
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 1: would you like to partner with me on one of

756
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:47,239
Speaker 1: them where we one of the entries is all me

757
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 1: one of them. You don't have to put up a

758
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 1: bunch of money.

759
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:54,040
Speaker 2: But just you would send you No, I didn't say half.

760
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 1: That would be so funny. No, you don't have to

761
00:49:56,960 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 1: send it to me if we don't win. No, uh,

762
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:04,879
Speaker 1: but you could be in for I don't know five

763
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:07,440
Speaker 1: percent of it. That'd be two hundred and fifty bucks.

764
00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:16,760
Speaker 1: And we will we will collaborate on uh, we will

765
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 1: collaborate on the picks. Yeah, and then we So the

766
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:27,400
Speaker 1: way we'll do Survivor is we'll talk after. Okay, So

767
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:31,440
Speaker 1: we'll we'll talk after. And to answer the producers, the

768
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:34,279
Speaker 1: twenty five dollars one doesn't have a guarantee, so there's

769
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 1: no there's not gonna be any overlay there. It's however

770
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:38,919
Speaker 1: many entries we get, that's the prize. Bool the Helm Youth.

771
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: Now is Helm Youth potentially on the hook for the overlay?

772
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 1: Maybe that would be delightful. If Helm Youth has to

773
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 1: write a big check for this, that actually would make

774
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 1: me very happy. All Right, h recap last season how

775
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 1: we did in Knicks picks.

776
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 2: So yeah, the twenty twenty four regular season, you went

777
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:06,279
Speaker 2: forty eight forty and two and your overall record was

778
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:08,319
Speaker 2: fifty six, forty four and three.

779
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 1: And that also we got in the playoffs.

780
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:13,320
Speaker 2: You also went undefeated in touchdown Genie. Now this wasn't

781
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:15,360
Speaker 2: every week, but we were undefeated.

782
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:18,800
Speaker 1: I was very picky with when I went with the Bruisers.

783
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 1: Love a good touchdown, Genie. They love an octopus bet

784
00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:23,799
Speaker 1: in the super Bowl. They love a touchdown Genie, they

785
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:26,799
Speaker 1: love all these things. I was very choosy on when

786
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 1: I wanted to do it, and I didn't realize it,

787
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:32,880
Speaker 1: but I did go undefeated on it. All right, five

788
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 1: picks every week? What's my first pick?

789
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 2: First pick? We've got Kansas City minus three versus the Chargers.

790
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:42,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a neutral site and they're only laying three.

791
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:46,959
Speaker 1: It's not I think the Chiefs are the best team

792
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 1: in football. I think the Chargers are around the you know,

793
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:56,840
Speaker 1: fourteenth best team in football. I do not think any

794
00:51:56,960 --> 00:52:02,600
Speaker 1: team is more used to handling odd environments than Kansas City.

795
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:07,320
Speaker 1: Patrick is five and two against the spread and openers.

796
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:12,160
Speaker 1: I understand Herbert is a really good against the spread

797
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:15,479
Speaker 1: quarterback early in the season ten and five, but part

798
00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:20,240
Speaker 1: of that is Patrick being five and two is even

799
00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:23,000
Speaker 1: more impressive when you consider the fact that the Chiefs

800
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 1: have become such a public team. Those lines are usually inflated.

801
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:29,879
Speaker 1: Chargers in the other direction. You know, they haven't had

802
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:33,960
Speaker 1: a ton of early season high high level expectations. I

803
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 1: just think I do not see. I think that Trent

804
00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 1: McDuffie is going to be able to neutralize Lad McConkie.

805
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 1: And with if that happens, how else are the Chargers

806
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 1: Who are they throwing it to? Like? How are they

807
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:54,320
Speaker 1: moving the ball? And I don't I know hardball is

808
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:57,239
Speaker 1: gonna want to run the No Rashon Slater is a

809
00:52:57,239 --> 00:53:01,880
Speaker 1: big deal. The Chiefs minus three against the Chargers is

810
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:06,160
Speaker 1: my first bet of the year and spoiler a bit.

811
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:10,959
Speaker 1: It is the only favorite I am taking in Week one.

812
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 2: Next pick Demonse, next week, you got Miami plus one

813
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:18,560
Speaker 2: at Indian Yeah.

814
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 1: This is a pretty simple one for me. You get

815
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 1: the Dolphins indoors, controlled climate, obviously, fast track like that,

816
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 1: you get too a healthy like that, You get Tyreek

817
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:42,279
Speaker 1: something to prove early in the year like that, and

818
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:45,759
Speaker 1: then you get a team in the Colts that I

819
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 1: believe might end up being the worst team in football

820
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:52,839
Speaker 1: this year. It's certainly it's possible. I am getting a

821
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:56,920
Speaker 1: point now. Obviously getting one point doesn't help you a lot.

822
00:53:56,960 --> 00:54:03,280
Speaker 1: It's you're really just picking a winner. Excuse me, I apologize,

823
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:09,799
Speaker 1: But if the Dolphins, the Dolphins have any chance of

824
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 1: having a better season than I think the general public

825
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 1: expects from them, they must start fast. Colts, Pats, Bill's tough, Jets, Panthers, Chargers,

826
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:28,360
Speaker 1: Browns like that. That's their opening slate, because late in

827
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 1: the year you go Ravens, Bill's Commanders, Saints, Easy, Jets, Steelers, Bengals, Bucks,

828
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 1: Pets like and a lot of cold weather games in there.

829
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:42,520
Speaker 1: This is a as close to a Week one must

830
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:47,799
Speaker 1: win for a team's playoff hopes as exist. I don't love, obviously,

831
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 1: the Colts quarterback and Daniel Jones. I think Miami wins

832
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:58,160
Speaker 1: the game outright, and I think Miami's gonna be able

833
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:00,720
Speaker 1: to move the ball in the Colts defense. Take Miami

834
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:02,000
Speaker 1: plus one at.

835
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:06,799
Speaker 2: Indy, and next you've got Cleveland plus five or Cincinnati.

836
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 1: I do I love this?

837
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 2: I don't. Yeah.

838
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 1: Does it feel good including the Cleveland Browns in my

839
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:22,400
Speaker 1: Week one picks? Of course not. However, what was lost,

840
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:25,280
Speaker 1: what's lost in the shuffle about the Browns in Week

841
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:31,800
Speaker 1: one is this, They'll be fine at quarterback this week. Now,

842
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:37,080
Speaker 1: once Flacco starts taking some hits, once the season starts progressing,

843
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:40,200
Speaker 1: you know how fine are they going to be? Probably

844
00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:45,000
Speaker 1: not at all, but this will probably be the best

845
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:50,960
Speaker 1: quarterback situation they have all year. Cincinnati has Trey Hendrickson

846
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:54,520
Speaker 1: coming off missing most of training camp, Shamar Stewart rookie

847
00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:58,240
Speaker 1: pass rusher missed a lot of the offseason, the first

848
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:02,440
Speaker 1: game for a new defensive coreator, and maybe most importantly,

849
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 1: and this is a point I have been trying to make.

850
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 1: I have real concerns about since he's offensive line and

851
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:13,719
Speaker 1: you got Miles Garrett, since he also so just desperately

852
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:17,759
Speaker 1: needs a win that I don't think this is at

853
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:22,000
Speaker 1: any point going to be a style points type of game.

854
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:25,640
Speaker 1: I think this is going to be a man if

855
00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:29,440
Speaker 1: we're up three late, suck the air out of the stadium,

856
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:32,960
Speaker 1: get out of there with a win. So I think that,

857
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:38,560
Speaker 1: you know, twenty one to seventeen Cincinnati is a pretty

858
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 1: likely outcome for this game. I'll take the five points.

859
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:48,480
Speaker 1: I'm it's a home divisional dog against a team that

860
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 1: is awful every single year in Week one, and so

861
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:58,280
Speaker 1: Cleveland plus five against Cincinnati is the way I'm going.

862
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:03,000
Speaker 1: It's not calling Cleveland win. I just don't think Cincinnati

863
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:06,240
Speaker 1: is gonna dominate the game because they never dominate early

864
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:06,880
Speaker 1: in the season.

865
00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:10,520
Speaker 2: Next to look there, to you, pops, we got Vegas

866
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:11,080
Speaker 2: at plus.

867
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:12,120
Speaker 1: Two and you don't like that one.

868
00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 2: It's it's yeah, because what if Cincinnati does what if

869
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:17,920
Speaker 2: they don't come out slow like they usually do.

870
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:19,560
Speaker 1: Well, then they all lose the bet.

871
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:21,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. Division.

872
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:24,240
Speaker 1: Well, what I will also say is, here's the other

873
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:27,800
Speaker 1: thing we know about Flacco. Flacco loves chucking it deep

874
00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:30,600
Speaker 1: and going for a back door cover Like that is

875
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:35,960
Speaker 1: that's the other piece, Like could this be Cincinnati up

876
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:42,480
Speaker 1: twenty seven seventeen with ninety seconds left and Flacco is,

877
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:45,760
Speaker 1: you know, throwing bombs and we end up stealing a

878
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:47,040
Speaker 1: back door cover for sure.

879
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:50,240
Speaker 2: All right, next next you've got a Vegas plus two

880
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:51,880
Speaker 2: and a half at New England.

881
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:58,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, so this is, you know, basically just going with

882
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:04,520
Speaker 1: my pre season feel that the Raiders are better than

883
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:07,160
Speaker 1: people think they are. Now. I also think New England

884
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 1: could be good, but I think New England is going

885
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:16,040
Speaker 1: to have real trouble scoring points this year. I like

886
00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:19,280
Speaker 1: the rookie running back, I like Drake May, I don't

887
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:23,840
Speaker 1: like the receivers at all. And where the Raiders are

888
00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:27,080
Speaker 1: going to be in trouble is against teams with explosive offenses.

889
00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:30,960
Speaker 1: The Patriots do not have that, so I think that

890
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:34,600
Speaker 1: this is one of the few matchups all year where

891
00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:38,160
Speaker 1: the Raiders defense is not going to be exploited. I

892
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:42,280
Speaker 1: think Max Crosby could have a big impact on that

893
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:46,600
Speaker 1: Patriots offensive line. And if I know Vabel, he's going

894
00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 1: to game plan to just not let Max Crosby stripsack

895
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:55,840
Speaker 1: flip the game, which leads to conservative play calling and

896
00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:59,760
Speaker 1: a lot of what he did at times in Tennessee,

897
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:02,760
Speaker 1: which is just keep it close and try to out

898
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:06,880
Speaker 1: execute them late. I think Gino is gonna come out firing.

899
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:10,680
Speaker 1: I obviously really like Ashton genty and I ain't the

900
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:14,400
Speaker 1: Raiders win this game. And I'm getting two and a

901
00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:16,760
Speaker 1: half points. This feels to me like twenty one to

902
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:20,400
Speaker 1: twenty Raiders. So I'll take the Raiders plus two and

903
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:26,320
Speaker 1: a half. Also, Patriots won four games last year teams

904
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:28,560
Speaker 1: that won four if you were the previous year, and

905
00:59:28,640 --> 00:59:31,920
Speaker 1: our Week one favorites are zero to five against the

906
00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:34,760
Speaker 1: spread and the last five it's it's a rare thing

907
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:37,560
Speaker 1: that happens, and so I will go with the Raiders

908
00:59:37,560 --> 00:59:38,480
Speaker 1: plus two and a half.

909
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:44,000
Speaker 2: Last, lastly, you've got Buffalo plus one versus Baltimore.

910
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:49,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, here's the thing. This is not anti

911
00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:53,200
Speaker 1: Lamar at all. He's a great player and a great, great,

912
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:59,560
Speaker 1: great regular season player. No, it's it's simply this, if

913
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 1: Buffalo at home, they shouldn't be underdogs, that's all, you

914
01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:06,520
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Like, Buffalo is too good of

915
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:11,040
Speaker 1: a team to be a home dog, and I think

916
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:12,120
Speaker 1: that that is.

917
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 2: Uh.

918
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:18,240
Speaker 1: I also saw Baltimore last year when people thought, oh,

919
01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:20,280
Speaker 1: they have an extra chip on their shoulder because that's

920
01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:22,160
Speaker 1: the team that knocked him out of the playoffs, and

921
01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:27,440
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and the Chiefs controlled that game, and so this,

922
01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:32,480
Speaker 1: by the way, is a very similar situation. Last year

923
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 1: it was Kansas City minus one and a half was

924
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:44,160
Speaker 1: its No, yes, it was Kansas City minus one and

925
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:49,560
Speaker 1: a half against Baltimore in Kansas City. And that was

926
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:56,080
Speaker 1: why that likely play was almost such an awful beat

927
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:59,360
Speaker 1: because I had KC minus one and a half. Case

928
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:03,520
Speaker 1: was upset they score it, they think they score that touchdown,

929
01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:06,360
Speaker 1: and then they're gonna go for two, which would have

930
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:09,200
Speaker 1: killed the bet, you know, Like if they go for

931
01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 1: two and they make it, they win. If they go

932
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:12,760
Speaker 1: for two and they miss it, they lose. Either way,

933
01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 1: the Chiefs couldn't win by a point and a half.

934
01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:19,480
Speaker 1: But I just don't think Buffalo should be home dogs.

935
01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:23,880
Speaker 1: And this will be the only time where do they

936
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:27,600
Speaker 1: play the Chiefs, And by the way, they wouldn't be

937
01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:30,720
Speaker 1: home dogs against they play the Chiefs in Buffalo, but

938
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:33,200
Speaker 1: they'll be favored in that game. Like this is also

939
01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:36,240
Speaker 1: a little too much, a little too much respect for Baltimore.

940
01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:39,880
Speaker 1: Like anytime this year, Buffalo is a home dog all

941
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:42,520
Speaker 1: bet them, which means right now is the only time,

942
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:45,600
Speaker 1: this is the only time all regular season they'll be

943
01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:50,120
Speaker 1: a home dog. So my five picks, and a lot

944
01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:53,080
Speaker 1: of this does have to do with preseason priors. But

945
01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:55,720
Speaker 1: what else can you do in Week one? Kansas City

946
01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:59,640
Speaker 1: minus one in Brazil against the Chargers Miami plus one,

947
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:04,640
Speaker 1: the Colts Cleveland getting five at home against Cincinnati, Las

948
01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:07,480
Speaker 1: Vegas getting two and a half in New England, and

949
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:13,840
Speaker 1: Buffalo getting one at home against Baltimore. All right, Demanse's

950
01:02:13,840 --> 01:02:16,800
Speaker 1: teasers last year, the record shows eleven and ten. That's

951
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 1: not that impressive when you realize he started off I

952
01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:25,200
Speaker 1: think Owen six, it becomes quite impressive. Started off poorly

953
01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:30,000
Speaker 1: and then really got it together late. Demonse, tell us

954
01:02:30,040 --> 01:02:30,880
Speaker 1: about your teaser.

955
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:33,880
Speaker 2: All right, So starting off this year, we are going

956
01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:37,200
Speaker 2: with a three team eight point teaser at plus one hundred.

957
01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:41,920
Speaker 2: We are teasing the Cowboys up to plus sixteen against

958
01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:44,520
Speaker 2: Philly tonight. I hope I have never regretting this. I

959
01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:48,280
Speaker 2: just wanted some action tonight. But we'll see. Cleveland we

960
01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:51,800
Speaker 2: got at plus thirteen, and then Buffalo we're teasing out

961
01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:54,080
Speaker 2: to plus nine. Honestly, just looks like I piggybacked off

962
01:02:54,120 --> 01:02:54,880
Speaker 2: of all your picks.

963
01:02:55,600 --> 01:02:57,800
Speaker 1: No, but you put this in before I put mine in.

964
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:00,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, that's what I say it looks. But uh,

965
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:03,760
Speaker 2: but yeah, those are those are my guys. I'm feeling

966
01:03:03,800 --> 01:03:05,520
Speaker 2: strong with I'm feeling strongly about all that.

967
01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:09,120
Speaker 1: Okay, let's talk it through before I give it the grade.

968
01:03:09,560 --> 01:03:09,800
Speaker 2: YEP.

969
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:16,800
Speaker 1: Obviously, teasing a one point dog is smart. You know,

970
01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:19,600
Speaker 1: you get through every single key number. So even though

971
01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:21,480
Speaker 1: you love the Ravens, you're on the right side with

972
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:25,200
Speaker 1: the Buffalo one Cleveland. You get through a bunch of

973
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:28,600
Speaker 1: key numbers as well. So I'm I'm good with it.

974
01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:33,120
Speaker 1: I am. Here's my only question, because you said you

975
01:03:33,160 --> 01:03:38,160
Speaker 1: just wanted action tonight, are you telling me you think

976
01:03:38,200 --> 01:03:44,360
Speaker 1: it's more likely the Cowboys upset the Eagles tonight than

977
01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:45,760
Speaker 1: get just blown out?

978
01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:48,280
Speaker 2: No, I just I just don't think it's I don't

979
01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:51,000
Speaker 2: think Philly's gonna go there and blow them out. I

980
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:52,919
Speaker 2: think the game's will be a little bit, a little

981
01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:55,840
Speaker 2: bit closer than people are thinking. I mean, I get that,

982
01:03:55,960 --> 01:03:57,960
Speaker 2: you know, not Dallas lose by three or six or

983
01:03:57,960 --> 01:04:00,000
Speaker 2: something like that, but it's plus sixteen buts.

984
01:03:59,840 --> 01:04:02,280
Speaker 1: So no, but so here's but hold on. But I'm

985
01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:04,760
Speaker 1: just saying you could do it the other direction. So

986
01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:07,240
Speaker 1: I'm not telling you to do it. What I'm saying, basically,

987
01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:11,960
Speaker 1: you are right if it's an eight point line and

988
01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:15,200
Speaker 1: eight point t's your decision. If you want to include

989
01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:18,160
Speaker 1: that game is very buying it. What do you think

990
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:20,280
Speaker 1: is more likely Dallas?

991
01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:23,400
Speaker 2: I definitely don't think Dallas is gonna win. That makes sense.

992
01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:28,080
Speaker 1: It makes sense or Philly win by seventeen, right, So

993
01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:31,200
Speaker 1: what do you so? I'm not trying to talk it.

994
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:33,840
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to change you on it, but I'm

995
01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:37,760
Speaker 1: just trying to I I like Dallas plus sixteen, that's

996
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:40,320
Speaker 1: the side I would go with as well. I just

997
01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:43,080
Speaker 1: know how you feel about tonight's game, and it feels

998
01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:45,960
Speaker 1: to me like, so I'm going to give this by

999
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:48,760
Speaker 1: the way, an as, I'm not changing You're not changing it,

1000
01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:53,200
Speaker 1: but the it feels to me like you would be

1001
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:59,160
Speaker 1: more shocked by Dallas winning than Philly winning thirty one fourteen,

1002
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:03,440
Speaker 1: which means right, which means in reality, you should have

1003
01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:06,680
Speaker 1: teased it the other direction, but you went with it. It's

1004
01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:10,160
Speaker 1: week one. You're teasing dogs, which I appreciate, and we're

1005
01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:14,360
Speaker 1: good with it. Touchdown Genie or exotics. We're not doing

1006
01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:18,320
Speaker 1: it week one because there's too much going on. We

1007
01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:20,800
Speaker 1: gotta see the league a bit before we do any

1008
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:24,360
Speaker 1: silliness survey the landscape for sure?

1009
01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:25,160
Speaker 2: All right?

1010
01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:29,000
Speaker 1: Every year for new listeners, every week the producers come

1011
01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:32,200
Speaker 1: up with an offer for me, demons, What is the

1012
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:33,080
Speaker 1: offer this week?

1013
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:37,720
Speaker 2: Irrefusable? We got Trevor over one and a half touchdown

1014
01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:43,400
Speaker 2: passes and Trevor under a half interception and jackson punning

1015
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:46,960
Speaker 2: line for plus two ten? How are you liking that?

1016
01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:50,680
Speaker 1: I do not like it. I have to turn it down.

1017
01:05:50,720 --> 01:05:53,280
Speaker 2: No pigs because of the no picks.

1018
01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:59,280
Speaker 1: I think Jacksonville's gonna win. I think Trevor's gonna have

1019
01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:03,320
Speaker 1: a good game. Can I in week one and when

1020
01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:11,800
Speaker 1: I'm only getting plus two ten? Uh? Can I guarantee

1021
01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:16,520
Speaker 1: that Trevor's not gonna throw ont J C? Horn? I cannot,

1022
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:22,640
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna turn down the offer. Reminder like rate, subscribe,

1026
01:06:35,520 --> 01:06:39,040
Speaker 1: info and I can reach out. All right, let's answer

1027
01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:41,200
Speaker 1: some of these listener questions quick. Uh.

1028
01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:46,040
Speaker 2: Lamelico asked, could Jalen make your top four quarterback list?

1029
01:06:46,080 --> 01:06:48,480
Speaker 2: Over Burrow before the end of the season. If so,

1030
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:49,520
Speaker 2: what would it take.

1031
01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:56,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, if Jalen has a listen, Jalen threw for like

1032
01:06:56,120 --> 01:06:59,640
Speaker 1: twenty eight hundred yards and I think eighteen touchdowns last year. Like,

1033
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:02,640
Speaker 1: I do need to see more passing production from him.

1034
01:07:03,040 --> 01:07:06,120
Speaker 1: But if he if he ups the passing production, He's

1035
01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:10,800
Speaker 1: still this dominant rushing threat. Philly's really good and the

1036
01:07:10,840 --> 01:07:15,400
Speaker 1: Bengals like, to me, the top three is locked. Burrow's

1037
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:20,320
Speaker 1: spot is in pen but not Sharpie, and it's not

1038
01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:23,200
Speaker 1: in Stone. That's you know, like just to be fair

1039
01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:27,360
Speaker 1: on it, and it's you can't you know, Jalen has

1040
01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:30,200
Speaker 1: these unbelievable weapons Burrow as Higgins and Chase. I don't

1041
01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:33,720
Speaker 1: anticipate that happening, but yes, it's it's on the board,

1042
01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:34,840
Speaker 1: I would say, all right.

1043
01:07:34,960 --> 01:07:38,520
Speaker 2: Next, Ronnie asked would you bet the would you bet

1044
01:07:38,520 --> 01:07:40,320
Speaker 2: the Bears to make the playoffs? And Jack's to make

1045
01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:43,560
Speaker 2: the playoffs for plus six ninety, I'm taking the plunge.

1046
01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:47,480
Speaker 1: I love it. Do it, Ronnie, I'll live vicariously through

1047
01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:50,360
Speaker 1: you at seven to one. Love it, absolutely, love it

1048
01:07:50,680 --> 01:07:51,000
Speaker 1: all right.

1049
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:54,080
Speaker 2: Next, Lady Evil says thank you for all your buck

1050
01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:56,840
Speaker 2: supports this year, and Nick it warms my heart. What

1051
01:07:56,880 --> 01:08:00,400
Speaker 2: do you think about Amika Egbuca offensive Rookie of the Year.

1052
01:08:01,040 --> 01:08:05,800
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a Listen. I think Amika Luka

1053
01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:09,960
Speaker 1: is gonna have a really big year, uh, especially with Godwin,

1054
01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:12,680
Speaker 1: you know, missing time in the beginning. Evan's getting older.

1055
01:08:12,680 --> 01:08:14,720
Speaker 1: I think Baker's gonna have a big year. He's not

1056
01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:17,559
Speaker 1: my pick, but I don't. I don't mind that one

1057
01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:21,360
Speaker 1: at all. I do not mind that one at all.

1058
01:08:21,960 --> 01:08:27,040
Speaker 1: And I loved the pick for them. He's plus sixteen. Yeah,

1059
01:08:27,080 --> 01:08:29,599
Speaker 1: so that's not that's not bad at all, all right, demons,
