WEBVTT - Chiefs dynasty OVER? Kelce & Mahomes WASHED? Jerry Jones calls Cowboys SOAP OPERA 0:00:02.040 --> 0:00:04.560 Welcome in episode three point fifty eight. What's right when 0:00:04.600 --> 0:00:06.920 Nick right in this episode has always brought to you 0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:11.119 by our friends at boost Mobile. So here's the deal. 0:00:11.200 --> 0:00:14.480 I'm just gonna be totally transparent with the audience. I 0:00:14.520 --> 0:00:19.880 am so ready for actual football season. We've been saying 0:00:19.960 --> 0:00:22.319 the last few weeks it's football season because we have 0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:27.000 turned our attention to football. The problem is there's no news. 0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:31.760 Like the news we get is this, uh we hear, 0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:35.200 Oh my god, And I think it's in the show somewhere, 0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:38.040 but I'll discuss it for a moment. Anyway. James Cook 0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:43.320 thirty million guaranteed with the agents credited in the first 0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:46.520 paragraph of ESPN dot com story, and then, of course 0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:49.440 a day later it's like, well, actually it's really fifteen 0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:52.239 million guaranteed, and you already had five million guaranteed, so 0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:54.960 it's really just ten million extra guaranteed. But wait to 0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:57.480 get those agents that pub Like, that's not real. I 0:00:57.480 --> 0:01:03.160 guess he's back in camp. That's the news. The major 0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:09.480 story in sports media today is Joe Burrow got knocked down. 0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:15.839 Like that's where we're at in the camp calendar, which 0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:19.959 is why we take vacation next week and then we 0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:23.959 come back full fledged, first Things, first prediction week on 0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:30.200 this show, back to back preseason gambling extravaganzas. So all 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:34.480 of that is coming in short order. But today does 0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:41.600 feel a little bit like the you know, seventeenth lap 0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:48.960 in the fifteen thousand meters, like man, the we're trudging through. 0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:51.680 So I understand I maybe shouldn't say that to the audience. 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:53.720 Maybe you're turning off the podcast. Please don't do that, 0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:56.600 like great, subscribe, review, do all those things. I'm just 0:01:56.640 --> 0:02:00.400 being honest with you, guys, which is why I was 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:05.680 so thrilled that yesterday we got actual news in the 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:10.560 What's Right universe, which is demanse. Would you like to 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:13.840 share with the audience what happened yesterday? 0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:18.560 Owl snakes finally popped out yesterday? It was the day 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:22.839 day fifty fifty five or fifty six got home on 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:26.400 saw some little heads, did the routine check, saw some 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:26.919 heads pop. 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:28.600 I mean, look at this picture. 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:33.960 Yeah, they're looking I mean like a little blanket. 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:40.040 It's really unbelievable. So let me can I all right, sorry, 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:43.560 I'm gonna put you on frontree to bit here. Did 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:49.480 you cry? I did? I think somebody you told me? Well, 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:51.840 you think something because you told me you thought you 0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:58.040 would years ago, when Demand started this journey of teaching 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:03.200 himself how to read exotic snakes, he said, he was like, 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:05.200 I'm gonna be honest with you. He's like, if it 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:09.239 ever happens and they actually there's actually one that they 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:12.480 mate and they get pregnant and there's eggs and they're born, 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:15.320 he's like, I think I'll cry, And so I was 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:16.880 it was. 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:21.880 I was, Yes, no tears came out, but but yeah, 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:23.800 I mean I think I always just start screaming. 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:31.400 I think it's like my default. Oh so you yelled, Yeah, definitely. Sorry. 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:34.200 I love it. I love it, And I also love 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:38.800 that we have locked in a week from today, your 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:42.280 youngest sister coming traveling on her own cross country to 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:44.480 come visit you, and she'll get to see all these 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:50.720 baby snakes. It's everything's insane and perfect. Yes, So that's great. 0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:55.600 So that's honestly the most exciting thing. Uh, I'll be 0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:59.240 totally transparent. My most exciting part of this podcast just happened. 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:02.160 But we'll try to saying all the same straight to voicemail, 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:04.800 brought to you by our friends at boost Mobile. Like 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:07.760 I said, Temper's flare at Bengals camp because Joe Burrow 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:10.760 got knocked down. Chris STAPs Berzingis wants to pursue an 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:14.840 MMA career. I would He would be one of my 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:19.800 last picks of active NBA players that I think would 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.760 actually succeed in that. I understand he has reach, but 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:26.760 it seems like a huge injury risk and be a 0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:32.320 guy that you could get on the ground broke. Yeah, 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:37.479 I just he would not like Anthony Edwards high on 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:41.800 my MMA fighting list. Yeah, Joker, I think maybe would 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:44.080 be pretty good. I feel like Joker can take a punch, 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:49.520 tough guy, lean on you. Chris STAPs not. I'd even 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:51.960 put Wimby ahead of him, because I feel like Wimby, 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:55.360 you know, with his embrace of the Far East, like 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:58.720 maybe has learned some martial arts or something. I don't know, 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:07.600 Like I christa far East, he has the Far East. Yeah. Uh. 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:10.799 And Taylor Swift appeared on New Heights and What'll probably 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:15.479 go down as the you know, most viewed listened to 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:18.080 podcasts in the history of podcasts. All right, once again 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:21.920 reminder like rate, subscribe, review and because it's our last 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:26.120 day before vacation, let's just talk Cowboys. Oh my goodness. 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:28.839 Uh so, winning is not a priority to our guard, 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:32.520 mister Jones. And that's Jerry Jones. He called his Cowboys 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:34.800 a year round soap opera and said, if we're not 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:37.360 being looked at, then I'll do my part to get 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:41.080 us looked at. H He also called controversy a good thing. 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:43.400 Oh what's going on over there in Dallas? 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:48.039 Well so, and he yesterday said he may or may 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:51.520 not talk with Micah with Micah's agent, pardon me. And 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:53.840 then he's like that he's under contract. So we're gonna 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:55.840 we're gonna try to hit ten topics. Say, I'm we'll 0:05:55.880 --> 0:06:00.560 try to do him fast. I just want to hone 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:06.440 in on this one point here. There is no justification 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:12.440 or explanation for Jerry not talking to Micah's agent. None. 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:15.280 We can argue about a lot of this. We can 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:19.440 argue about whether or not it's smart for the Cowboys 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:22.120 to pay Micah. I don't think that's a huge argument. 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:24.680 But someone was like, you know what, they already have 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:27.840 the most expensive quarterback, one of the most expensive receivers. 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:32.400 They're probably not that close. Their better path is make 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:37.240 them play out this year. Franchise tag in order to trade. Like, 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:40.800 if somebody wanted to make that argument, I would listen 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:43.560 to it. Okay, I would disagree with that. I would 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:47.160 listen to it. If there are a lot of things 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:51.680 that you there are legitimate opinions on both sides on 0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:57.400 With this thing, there is not a legitimate opinion that 0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:01.839 involves agreeing with Jarryry Jones' decision to never talk to 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:09.440 Micah's agent. And if the justification on Jerry's end were, well, 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:13.840 there's nothing to talk about because we are not signing 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:20.040 Micah to an extension. The problem with that argument is 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:23.960 Jerry's claim is we already agreed to an extension months ago. 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:26.400 Jerry is not claiming I don't want to sign Micah. 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:30.600 Jerry's claiming I did want to sign Micah. I had 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:34.440 an agreement with Micah. Micah now essentially reneged on it. 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:40.800 Even if that is the case, then there is no 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:45.000 justification for not calling Micah's agent and saying, hey, here's 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:49.560 the offer, and that I think through missed through all 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:55.120 of the Jerry Jones nonsense has been the very simple 0:07:55.320 --> 0:08:01.080 fact that he has not had a conversation with David Mulligata, 0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:07.760 Micah's agent, and that to me is the only possible 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:13.920 rationale for that is he wants to exert and show 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:17.240 who's in charge and who has the power here, that 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:22.640 he's trying to hold over them. And here would be 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:25.400 my biggest and then we can move on to other topics. 0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:29.280 But my biggest concern if I were a Cowboys fan 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:34.360 that Jerry quote about basically, we want to be in 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:36.560 the news three hundred and sixty five days a year. 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:40.400 You know, we're a soap opera. It's my job to 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:44.720 drum up interest. Say what you want about Jerry. He 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:51.000 is a brilliant marketer. That part is undeniable. And if 0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:58.640 Jerry is looking down the horizon, it might occur to 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:05.200 him that if they sign Micah, there's no other like 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:18.080 football adjacent intrigue controversy left to satiate the masses next offseason. 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:23.640 Dak is done and has a no trade, CD is done. 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:27.960 If they have if they sign Micah and they go 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:38.000 eight and nine, what is the Cowboys' news that keeps 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:43.560 them in the lead block of shows during the dog 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:47.800 days of summer. There's not another train coming down those tracks. 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:53.360 And so if Jerry is being earnest that his real 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:59.640 goal is to keep the Cowboys front page. The easiest 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:04.800 stretch there is dare Micah to play out this season, 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:11.040 franchise tag him next offseason, and run this entire storyline back. 0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:17.800 I don't think that is the likely outcome, but I 0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:21.840 also think at this point it would be dumb to 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:27.880 dismiss it as a possibility, because the fact that we 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:35.480 have gotten here is a testament to the fact that 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:42.760 Jerry is not leading with smart football team management. He 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:49.560 is leading with generating buzz. And you sign Micah, it's 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:53.400 hard to generate. If you sign Micah and you're just 0:10:54.040 --> 0:11:00.600 average next year, where where does the next buzz come from? Done? 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:05.120 Mike has done, CD's done. Micah will be de facto 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:08.080 untradeable the first year after signing a contract because of 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:11.400 what the signing bonus will be. Dak is literally untradeable. 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:16.640 They there's not a lot of paths, and you just 0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:19.920 hired a brand new head coach, like not gonna fire 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:23.160 a coach after year one? Like what is the sizzle 0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:28.480 that the Cowboys can create other than just being awesome 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:32.000 football and awesome football team? And I don't think that's likely. 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:36.800 UFC three to nineteen is blowing back to the Windy City. 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:39.400 I bet Colin's gonna be there for the first time 0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:42.520 in six years. I'm just saying that I would be shocked. Actually, 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:44.880 I think we're gonna Not only is Colin gonna be there, 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:48.040 I think we're gonna see Colin with six seats on 0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:50.040 pay per view.

Colin was 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:16.560 also one of those naysayers, saying that the winning is over. 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:18.800 Do you think that the win Do you think that 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:21.920 the dynasty is continuable if they win the super Bowl 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:22.400 this year? 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:25.600 Well, hold on, I don't even think that's obviously. If 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:27.560 they win the super Bowl this year, the dynasty is 0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:34.400 in progress. I want to focus more on. Listen. I 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:36.760 think it's well established how much I adore and love 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:41.800 Colin Cowherd. His Chiefs Takes now, I mostly blame Jmack. 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:46.320 I think that, like the proximity to Jmax's historically bad 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:50.240 chiefs takes have somehow there's been an osmosis of take 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:57.280 that has impacted Colin. But they've been to three straight 0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:59.920 Super Bowls. They they have the best record in the NFL. 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:04.200 Last year, they gotta go to the last one, right, 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:07.360 They say they made it to the last super Bowl, 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:09.560 Like I think they have to at least not make 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:11.960 a super Bowl for the dynasty to be over. 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:16.720 Well, I would think so, yeah. I And by the way, 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:23.120 like when we talk about dynasties in the NFL, the 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:27.640 Pittsburgh Steelers is probably the most famous one. They won 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:33.640 two Super Bowls. They then went two years without making 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:37.360 the Super forget without winning it, without making the Super Bowl, 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:40.520 and then they won two more. We look at that 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:47.360 as one dynasty. The Patriots is an interesting one. I 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:53.440 don't consider the Pants one continuous dynasty, but if you do, 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:58.840 it went like this, won a super Bowl, missed the playoffs, 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:03.680 then one two super Bowls. Then gosh, I'm gonna have 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:06.000 to do this off the top of my head. O 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:09.400 six going for the three pat lost their first playoff game. 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:13.000 I'm sorry, wait, oh five, going for the three p 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:16.440 It's gonna be hard to off top my head, but 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:23.040 I'm gonna try. Lost their first playoff Game. Six lost 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:26.880 in Round two. Oh seven lost the Super Bowl. Oh 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:32.440 eight missed the playoffs. Nine and twenty ten lost before 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:36.200 the super Bowl, twenty eleven lost in the Super Bowl, 0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:41.840 twenty twelve, twenty thirteen lost before the super Bowl, fourteen 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:45.240 won the Super Bowl, fifteen lost in Conference Title Game, 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:49.240 sixteen won the Super Bowl, seventeen lost the Super Bowl, 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:52.800 eighteen won the Super Bowl, nineteen lost in Round one. 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:56.119 So if we want to do that as one long dynasty, 0:16:56.440 --> 0:17:01.520 then it's gonna be impossible to say the Chiefs dynasty 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:05.000 is over if you consider the Patriots one long dynasty. 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:09.119 The Patriots went a decade without winning a Super Bowl. 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:15.240 The Chiefs have gone sixteen months, and so that part's 0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:22.480 just ridiculous. It's just fundamentally ridiculous to say I'm declaring 0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:29.040 it dead when the Chiefs are in the midst of 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:34.040 or just completed. I guess you would say the greatest 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:37.320 three year stretch in the history of the league. And 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:40.240 they have been to three consecutive Super Bowls and seven 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:45.080 straight AFC Championship Games. It's now If your take is 0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:53.120 they're just not good enough anymore, it's a bold take. Maybe, 0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:56.600 like there's no evidence for it. But if it's just 0:17:56.680 --> 0:18:06.280 your gut feeling, then so be it. Here is here 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:14.680 is what I find the most demands a ridiculous about 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:18.280 this Chief's fatalism stuff. And then we can move on 0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:29.880 every team in the AFC that is chasing them. If 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:39.080 this year they have the exact season Kansas City had 0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:47.400 last year, best last undefeated team, best record in the NFL, 0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:54.439 beat the Chiefs in the AFC playoffs, make the Super Bowl, 0:18:55.000 --> 0:19:00.560 lose the super Bowl, it will be considered evidence that 0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:04.960 that team is getting closer, and the best season any 0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:09.320 of those teams have had in this era, the Chiefs 0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:14.159 having that year is considered evidence of implosion. But I 0:19:14.240 --> 0:19:19.280 am here to tell you if the Baltimore Ravens are 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:22.920 the final, or the Buffalo Bills, or the Cincinnati Bengals 0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:26.000 or the Los Angeles Chargers or god forbid, the Denver 0:19:26.080 --> 0:19:30.560 Broncos or any of those teams, if they are the 0:19:30.680 --> 0:19:35.280 last undefeated team, if they are fifteen to one with 0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:39.440 the one seed locked up, they then beat the Chiefs 0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:43.760 in the playoffs and then run into I don't care 0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:46.600 who call it Philly or no, because Philly then would 0:19:46.640 --> 0:19:49.199 go back to back. That complicates things call it the 0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:55.280 Lions and get blown out in the Super Bowl. If 0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:58.280 that were to happen, and then I were to go 0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:02.119 on TV and be like, that's this year was the 0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:07.879 end of that team. They're done Now they is a 0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:13.119 time for a new chapter. People would say that, dude, 0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:18.240 you're just a hater. And this is also an element 0:20:18.520 --> 0:20:28.480 of my a lot of my Mahomes frustration in and 0:20:28.480 --> 0:20:30.000 I'm going to talk about this on the TV show 0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:36.240 today in how he's discussed. Do you agree to Monsday 0:20:36.280 --> 0:20:43.639 that all Lamar josh Ann Burrow the year they had 0:20:43.760 --> 0:20:49.880 last year elevated them, even if not in their actual ranking, 0:20:49.960 --> 0:20:55.840 but people elevated them their standing, and that the people 0:20:55.920 --> 0:21:03.040 felt their seasons combined with the year Mahomes had narrowed 0:21:03.080 --> 0:21:06.879 the gap for best quarterback. And then some people flipped it. 0:21:06.960 --> 0:21:10.760 You agree with that, right? Yeah, that's like conventional wisdom. Okay. 0:21:12.640 --> 0:21:15.960 And this is where the point that I make that 0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:20.640 Mahomes is not judged against his peers, I think is crystallized. 0:21:24.760 --> 0:21:33.040 Let's pretend Patrick this year had any of their seasons 0:21:33.119 --> 0:21:38.560 last year. Okay. Let's start with Joe Patrick puts up 0:21:38.680 --> 0:21:44.800 insane numbers and the Chiefs miss the playoffs. Does that 0:21:44.880 --> 0:21:49.200 help or does anyone be like, Okay, that helped Patrick's 0:21:49.240 --> 0:21:56.160 back dynasty is definitely over. Okay, So all right, let's 0:21:56.160 --> 0:22:01.720 do Lamar's year. Patrick puts up insane numbers. The Chiefs 0:22:01.920 --> 0:22:04.840 are the you know, a good but not great seed. 0:22:04.840 --> 0:22:10.919 They're the three seed, and for the first time in 0:22:10.960 --> 0:22:15.400 his career, he does not make a conference championship game 0:22:15.680 --> 0:22:18.560 because he loses in round two to one of the 0:22:18.600 --> 0:22:22.040 other rival quarterbacks. Does that help or hurt Patrick's standing? 0:22:22.680 --> 0:22:26.720 Would hurt him? It would hurt him, all right, Stu. 0:22:26.840 --> 0:22:32.640 Josh Patrick wins league, MVP team has a really good record, 0:22:33.680 --> 0:22:38.720 they get the two seed, and then to go back 0:22:38.760 --> 0:22:42.840 to the super Bowl, doesn't come through at the end 0:22:43.600 --> 0:22:48.560 and Josh beats him. Yeah. Is anybody then being like, Okay, 0:22:49.560 --> 0:22:54.560 Patrick has reclaimed or they're like, oh mvpb damn Josh 0:22:54.640 --> 0:22:57.800 beat him? Now do the flip side for any of 0:22:57.840 --> 0:23:02.560 those guys, all three of them, monse give them Patrick's year. 0:23:02.680 --> 0:23:09.119 Last year. They have mediocre stats but lead the league 0:23:09.160 --> 0:23:15.000 in game winning drives and comebacks, and he beats two 0:23:15.080 --> 0:23:18.520 of those guys en route. I'm sorry. Any of the 0:23:20.080 --> 0:23:24.879 those guys are the one seed and beat Patrick to 0:23:25.000 --> 0:23:30.200 get to the Super Bowl. Imagine if I then went 0:23:30.240 --> 0:23:34.440 on TV and was like, yeah, but his touch there, 0:23:34.480 --> 0:23:40.359 you know, Lamar's touchdown interception ratio wasn't that impressive. I'm 0:23:40.440 --> 0:23:46.560 actually dinging. It's just insane. And so I know I'm 0:23:46.600 --> 0:23:49.040 the Kansas City guy. I know I have the tattoo 0:23:49.119 --> 0:23:50.960 that I still don't know how to show on camera. 0:23:51.320 --> 0:23:53.160 I still don't know what I'm supposed to do here. 0:23:53.280 --> 0:23:55.639 It's just a disaster. There we go, I see, I 0:23:55.640 --> 0:24:01.160 don't even know what I'm there we go. It is well, 0:24:01.200 --> 0:24:07.399 it's just here's the thing. It's just boring. It's just boring. 0:24:08.400 --> 0:24:15.120 And I I also like, just one other thing because 0:24:15.680 --> 0:24:20.199 what has become very in vogue and Bruce says it 0:24:20.240 --> 0:24:23.080 a lot, and he and I talked about this, not 0:24:23.119 --> 0:24:25.280 like to I'd like to talk about it, but discussed 0:24:25.320 --> 0:24:29.760 it on the air the other uh the other day, 0:24:30.720 --> 0:24:34.480 which is because it's become very in vogue to say 0:24:34.520 --> 0:24:37.080 something along the lines of like, oh, Mahomes is doing 0:24:37.119 --> 0:24:41.040 Brady's career in reverse, where Brady in the beginning won 0:24:41.200 --> 0:24:45.040 but didn't have the stats, and Mahomes and then later 0:24:45.080 --> 0:24:49.879 in his career had the crazy numbers Mahomes are, but 0:24:49.960 --> 0:24:55.400 it's just inaccurate. And here's what I mean. Mahomes early 0:24:55.720 --> 0:24:58.679 and every year of his career except the last two. 0:24:58.760 --> 0:25:05.199 First five years one and had MVP caliber stats and 0:25:05.280 --> 0:25:08.600 the last two years he's won, but he hasn't had 0:25:08.600 --> 0:25:12.840 the crazy numbers until the playoffs. Right. But this idea 0:25:12.880 --> 0:25:17.520 that Tom Brady post two thousand and seven was just 0:25:17.760 --> 0:25:22.240 year in, year out, this statistical monster, it's just not true. 0:25:23.119 --> 0:25:28.560 So Tom Brady two thousand and seven had what at 0:25:28.560 --> 0:25:31.560 that point the greatest quarterback season ever. He then misses 0:25:31.600 --> 0:25:34.960 two thousand and eight due to injury. Two thousand and nine, 0:25:35.680 --> 0:25:39.720 tom Brady's team was ten and six and he had 0:25:39.760 --> 0:25:45.320 twenty eight touchdowns thirteen interceptions, and they lost their first 0:25:45.359 --> 0:25:49.600 playoff game. Then twenty ten, he had one of the 0:25:49.640 --> 0:25:53.439 greatest statistical seasons ever thirty six touchdowns, four picks, and 0:25:53.560 --> 0:25:57.280 twenty eleven he was in line with it thirty nine touchdowns, 0:25:57.280 --> 0:26:02.359 twelve picks, and then twenty twelve it's down to a 0:26:02.440 --> 0:26:07.520 ninety eight passer rating and twenty thirteen twenty five touchdowns, 0:26:07.520 --> 0:26:11.679 eleven picks and in eighty seven rating. That's in twenty 0:26:11.800 --> 0:26:18.920 thirteen and then obviously, twenty fourteen, they win the Super 0:26:18.920 --> 0:26:23.320 Bowl twenty fifteen, he has an all time twenty fifteen, sixteen, 0:26:23.400 --> 0:26:28.679 seventeen all time stats years where he has a combined 0:26:29.600 --> 0:26:33.440 doing the math on the fly, ninety six touchdowns fifteen 0:26:33.560 --> 0:26:35.840 picks a one to oh eight rating over the course 0:26:35.880 --> 0:26:39.320 of three years. But then the very next year twenty eighteen, 0:26:40.200 --> 0:26:42.440 they go eleven and five. He is twenty nine touchdowns 0:26:42.480 --> 0:26:45.960 eleven picks, but they win the Super Bowl twenty nineteen 0:26:46.240 --> 0:26:48.960 twenty four touchdowns, eight picks in eighty eight rating and 0:26:49.080 --> 0:26:52.160 leaves the Patriots and then goes on the sick run 0:26:52.280 --> 0:26:56.119 in Tampa. The point I'm making is this, even Pete 0:26:56.280 --> 0:27:01.920 Brady had these season like the season where it's like, oh, 0:27:01.960 --> 0:27:04.960 twenty nine touchdowns, eleven picks, twenty four touchdowns eight picks, 0:27:05.000 --> 0:27:08.680 twenty five touchdowns eleven picks, it was not every single 0:27:08.800 --> 0:27:13.840 year statistical excellence. It was every single year when the 0:27:14.040 --> 0:27:17.359 division make the playoffs, and it is at the tail 0:27:17.480 --> 0:27:20.080 end of his Patriots tenure, every single year make a 0:27:20.119 --> 0:27:25.919 conference championship game. But it's just it's we've got to 0:27:25.920 --> 0:27:29.440 be honest about what real expectations are, and we've got 0:27:29.480 --> 0:27:37.200 to be honest about what the guys who are allegedly 0:27:37.400 --> 0:27:42.879 in Patrick's league. If Patrick had the season they just had, 0:27:43.000 --> 0:27:45.960 and they just had the season Patrick just had, how 0:27:46.000 --> 0:27:48.439 would we view it? That's all I'm saying. All Right, 0:27:48.520 --> 0:27:49.600 let's suck the bills. 0:27:50.320 --> 0:27:53.160 Buffalo just extended James Cook. They gave him that top 0:27:53.200 --> 0:27:57.240 of the market running back money, so kind of. 0:27:57.240 --> 0:27:59.800 The top of them mark. Again, it depends on the reporting, 0:28:00.000 --> 0:28:03.119 but yeah, they he certainly got a deal that appears 0:28:03.160 --> 0:28:04.960 at least a little better than I would have done. 0:28:04.960 --> 0:28:05.399 Go ahead. 0:28:06.080 --> 0:28:09.480 So with limited caprom going forward, if Buffalo cannot get 0:28:09.480 --> 0:28:11.160 it done this year, do you think that their window 0:28:11.240 --> 0:28:12.760 is closed for the Super Bowl? 0:28:13.680 --> 0:28:18.760 No, Listen, I think if I had to bet, here's 0:28:18.800 --> 0:28:24.800 a fun exercise super Bowl. I don't want to do 0:28:24.840 --> 0:28:26.600 this right now. I was gonna say, like, divvy up 0:28:26.600 --> 0:28:32.399 super Bowls over the next five years between teams. Yeah, 0:28:32.600 --> 0:28:41.280 like like I would say, the Chiefs get two, Josh 0:28:41.360 --> 0:28:46.280 gets won, Raven's got to be in there at some point, 0:28:46.400 --> 0:28:50.880 Baltimore breaks through, Baltimore get one, and then is there. 0:28:51.040 --> 0:28:53.800 Uh you know, didn't see that one coming. Am I 0:28:54.000 --> 0:28:56.480 underrating Philly? You know what I mean? But I don't 0:28:56.480 --> 0:28:59.320
