28
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 2: in What Drive with Nick Wright, first show post Thanksgiving.

29
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 2: All it took was us to not actually do a

30
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 2: gambling show and I went four and one, all my

31
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 2: picks documented on Twitter four and oh going to start

32
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 2: the first four and then the last one the Browns

33
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 2: Dori and Thompson Robinson got injured and that pick went

34
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 2: to die with PJ Walker playing quarterback. But that puts us.

35
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 2: I do believe. We will check on Thursday. We are

36
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 2: right at five hundred. Demanse had I believe a losing teaser,

37
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 2: but that's okay. We sell it a good weekend hanging out.

38
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 2: I got to see Demanse here in New York. Good

39
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 2: family time, and we have a ton to We have

40
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 2: a ton to do today, as the producers told me,

41
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 2: by the way, for our YouTube viewers and for this

42
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 2: the watchers, whether you're watching live or later, we know

43
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 2: we've been having some technical issues. We are doing a

44
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 2: whole technical rehab after the show today, so hopefully moving

45
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 2: forward we won't have as many We appreciate you guys

46
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 2: bearing with us on it. I know for people that

47
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: download the podcast and listen, it maybe hasn't been as apparent.

48
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 2: But for those of you that watch it live or

49
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: watch it on YouTube, I know it's been a pain

50
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 2: in the ass. We're hoping to get that squared away today,

51
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 2: all right. And one of the reasons I thought of

52
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 2: it is Gabe told me before the start of the

53
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 2: show to not be moving around so much because it

54
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 2: messages with the Internet. And I of course start the

55
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 2: show by waving my arms wildly because I don't know

56
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 2: how to do this any other way. We have a

57
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 2: lot to get into today Week twelve in the NFL

58
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 2: and today the Pro Football Hall of Fame semifinalists came out.

59
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 2: That's one of my favorite days of the year. So

60
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 2: we'll get to all of that, but first we will

61
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 2: get to what missed. So what missed the cut for

62
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 2: today's show is Dolly Parton cursing the Cowboys because I

63
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 2: don't believe in that, Dion losing some recruits at Colorado

64
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 2: as that seems to have at least briefly gone left

65
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 2: on him, and Lebron plays the most minutes of anyone

66
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 2: in the NBA history, also has the worst loss of

67
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 2: his career. None of that is in today's show. Here

68
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 2: is what is in today's show, Demons, start us off.

69
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 3: Yes, the Pro Football Hall of Fame announced their twenty

70
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 3: five semifinalists for this year's class. So Julius Peppers and

71
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 3: Antonio Gates are eligible for first ballot selections. What are

72
00:03:58,320 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 3: your thoughts on those?

73
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 2: Okay, so twenty So this is why the Pro Football

74
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame, in my opinion, is the best of

75
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 2: the Hall of Fames. Twenty five semifinalists, that list will

76
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 2: be whittled down to fifteen finalists and then of that

77
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 2: fifteen five make it. And so we are going to

78
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 2: do that ourselves. Right now, we will go through the

79
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 2: twenty five names. We will eliminate ten right off the bat,

80
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 2: and then from those fifteen remaining, We're gonna have some

81
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 2: very hard choices. So I will do this as quickly

82
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 2: as I can. But this is one of my favorite exercises.

83
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 2: It also should be noteworthy for contemporary watching of football

84
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 2: when you hear people throw around around the term, oh,

85
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 2: he's a future Hall of Famer. It is a god

86
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 2: doog difficult old Hall of Fame to get into. So

87
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 2: going by position, there are no quarterbacks eligible of the

88
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 2: semifinalists right now, so we can get rid of them.

89
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 2: Running backs. Tiki Barber, easy elimination. Really good player, played

90
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 2: in a big market. I understand, you know, had a

91
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 2: big name and some big moments. He is not a

92
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer. I'm surprised he was even a semi finalist.

93
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 2: Eddie George. We're okay with him being a semi We

94
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 2: won't cut him right now. That what the numbers are good.

95
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 2: His value to a really good team was great and was,

96
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 2: in my opinion, the most important offensive player on a

97
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 2: Super Bowl team that came a yard short. We'll let

98
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 2: him move on. Fred Taylor really good player, not a

99
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer. Ricky Waters really good player, not a

100
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer wide receiver, and Kwam Bolden awesome player.

101
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 2: He's cut. It's not even a question. Tory Holt, who

102
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 2: has been banging on the door repeatedly, has really eye

103
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 2: popping numbers. He'll move on to the semifinalist category. Andre Johnson,

104
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 2: he is a noe to me. What makes a Hall

105
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 2: of Famer. One of the things is, were you in

106
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 2: the discussion for the best in the league, the best

107
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 2: for multiple years? Andre Johnson absolutely was. He moves on.

108
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 2: Steve Smith overachiever, really good player. The numbers are better

109
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 2: than you think. We'll advance him to the semifinalists. Hines

110
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 2: Ward absolutely not. I understand people loved his blocking and

111
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 2: he was a champion. He's not a Hall of Famer.

112
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 2: Reggie Wayne, he'll move on for now. Tight End Antonio Gates,

113
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 2: he has to move on as a semifinalist. Unbelievable numbers. Again,

114
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 2: Remember we have to cut ten, then we have to

115
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 2: cut another ten. Offensive line Willie Anderson was a really

116
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 2: good tackle for the Bengals, had a really good career.

117
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 2: Was not a Hall of Famer. Jarry Evans guard for

118
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 2: the Saints forever. One of the best interior offensive linemen

119
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 2: of his era, if I'm not mistaken, a member of

120
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 2: the All Decades team. He moves on. Now we're to

121
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 2: the defensive side of the ball. Eric Allen long career,

122
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 2: good career, maybe even a great career. He's not a

123
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer. Rodney Harrison, Hugh moves on to the

124
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 2: next round. Was great with the Chargers, then won two

125
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 2: Super Bowls with the Patriots. Was awesome with them. He's

126
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 2: a finalist. Patrick Willett, I'm sorry, Darren Woodson, that guy's

127
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 2: a Hall of Famer. To me, was awesome with the Cowboys,

128
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 2: an All Decade Team member, won three Super bowl one

129
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 2: of the lynchpins of their defense. To me, he's a

130
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer. He certainly moves on. Linebackers London Fletcher

131
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 2: not a Hall of Famer. James Harrison, a Defensive Player

132
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 2: of the Year, the single greatest play in Super Bowl history,

133
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 2: A champion. He moves on. Patrick Willis one of the

134
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 2: greatest players, the best inside linebacker of his era. Now,

135
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 2: it was a very short career, but he, to me,

136
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 2: was a Hall of Fame player. He moves on. Defensive line.

137
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 2: Jared Allen played for my Chiefs, was excellent, played for

138
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 2: the Vikings, was excellent, great counting stats. Was never the best,

139
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 2: second best, or third best at his position. He doesn't

140
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 2: move on Dwight Freeney. He absolutely does. Robert Mathis, who

141
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 2: played alongside Dwight Freeney with the Colts, really really good player.

142
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer Julius Pepper's, no doubt, one of the

143
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 2: greatest players I've ever seen. He moves on. And then

144
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 2: the specialist, Devin Hester, the single greatest kick returner and

145
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 2: punt returner in NFL history. He must move on. So

146
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 2: cut from this group are the following Tiki, Fred Taylor,

147
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: Ricky Waters and Kwam Bolden Hines, Ward, Willie Anderson, Eric Allen,

148
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 2: London Fletcher, Jared Allen, Robert Mathis. Those are all great players.

149
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 2: They're all cut. But now it gets damn near impossible.

150
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 2: Our finalists are the following, and we can only include five.

151
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 2: And this is why again when people throw around, oh,

152
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 2: he's a future Hall of Famer, Are you sure about that?

153
00:09:53,720 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 2: We can only include five? Eddie George Tory, Holt, Andre Jones,

154
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 2: Steve Smith, Reggie, Wayne, Antonio Gates, Jarry Evans, Rodney Harrison,

155
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 2: Darren Woodson, James Harrison, Patrick Willis, Dwight Freeney, Julius Peppers,

156
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 2: Devin Hester. It's so hard here, Eddie George is out.

157
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 2: That's fifteen, and so oh that's fourteen. Okay, well then

158
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 2: we can add all right. Then uh well, then whoever

159
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have included, they wouldn't have made it anyway.

160
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 2: So I don't know who I left out, but or

161
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 2: if I didn't mention someone did I did not say

162
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 2: Antonio Gates. Maybe I didn't say Antonio Gates. My apologies.

163
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 2: He's definitely on the very short list. I thought I

164
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 2: counted this out properly. Maybe I'm wrong. Eddie George, you're out.

165
00:10:54,160 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 2: Tory Holt, who's been waiting forever, You're out. Reggie you're out,

166
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 2: Steve Smith, you're out. God dogg it, Rodney Harrison, you're out.

167
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 2: That then leaves us. The following guys left, Andre Johnson,

168
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 2: Antonio Gates, Jarry Evans, Darren Woodson, James Harrison, Dwight Freeney,

169
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 2: Julius Peppers, Devin Hester. Who are the absolute no doubt

170
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 2: must have in Julius Peppers is a no doubt first

171
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 2: Ballad Hall of Famer he is in. In my opinion.

172
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 2: Andre Johnson was one was either the best or the

173
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 2: second best wide receiver in the NFL with terrible quarterbacks

174
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 2: for a half decade. He's got to be in. Patrick

175
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 2: Willis one of the greatest inside linebackers in NFL history.

176
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 2: He's got to be in. Devin Hester, the single greatest

177
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 2: kick returner in NFL history, He's got to be in.

178
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 2: That's four Andre, Patrick Willis, Julius Peppers, Devin Hester. That

179
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 2: means we have one spot available for the following guys.

180
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 2: Jarry Evans, one of the greatest interior linemen ever, an

181
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 2: All Decade Team member, Antonio Gates one of the four

182
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:42,319
Speaker 2: greatest pass catching tight ends ever. Darren Woodson, a lynchpin

183
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 2: of a dynasty. James Harrison, a defensive Player of the

184
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 2: Year who had the greatest play in NFL history in

185
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 2: Super Bowl in Super Bowl history. And Dwight Freeney, whose

186
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 2: numbers are beyond belief and I believe was an All

187
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 2: Decade Team member. Let me check, uh yeah, was an

188
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 2: All Decade Team member. This is why this is the

189
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 2: best Hall of Fame, in the hardest Hall of Fame.

190
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 2: I watched Dwhite Freenie's whole career. The Colts defense was

191
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 2: built upon the idea, Peyton'll get us a lead and

192
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 2: then Dwight Freeni will stripsack the opponent and put the

193
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 2: game away. He's in. So our five Hall of Famers,

194
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 2: if it were up to us, would be Devin Hester,

195
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 2: Julius Peppers, Dwight Freeny, Patrick Willis, and Andre Johnson, with

196
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:51,199
Speaker 2: the hardest cuts for this year's class being James Harrison,

197
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 2: Darren Woodson, Jar Evans, and Antonio Gates. So here is

198
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 2: why the this is such a tricky sport to do

199
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame. I just mentioned that, I just

200
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 2: mentioned the guys who were just barely on the cut, right,

201
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 2: And let me make sure I have this right, and

202
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna try to find this in real time. The

203
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 2: problem for this is always that guys who are on

204
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 2: the cut and then all of a sudden come available

205
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 2: or like they just barely missed out. So for me,

206
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 2: you had James Harrison, Antonio Gates, who was a first

207
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 2: ballot eligibility, Jarry Evans, and who's the other one that

208
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 2: I had, Darren Woodson just barely miss out. The problem

209
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 2: is next year, who becomes who is added to the

210
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 2: list because all of a sudden they're eligible. So in

211
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, Luke, Keikley, Marshall Yanda are the biggest

212
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 2: names eligible. I don't think either one of those guys

213
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 2: will be a first ballot. Patrick Willis wasn't a first

214
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 2: ballot and he has a very similar profile as Keithley.

215
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 2: So maybe we can get some some of these guys

216
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 2: who have been waiting in because in twenty twenty six,

217
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 2: Drew Brees becomes available, he takes one of the spots,

218
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 2: and in twenty twenty seven Adrian Peterson becomes available, he

219
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 2: takes one of the spots. Antonio Brown does two. That's

220
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 2: gonna be a very tough one. And in twenty twenty

221
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 2: eight Tom Brady and JJ Watt become available, they take

222
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 2: two of the spots. So point is, over the next five, six, seven, eight,

223
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 2: over the next four classes after this year, there are

224
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 2: twenty guys that are gonna go in, but four of

225
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 2: them are no doubt first ballot guys that aren't right

226
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 2: now in the group. So these guys who have been waiting,

227
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 2: a guy like let me find a good example, someone

228
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 2: like Reggie Wayne or Tory Holt might just never get in,

229
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 2: and James Harrison, who I love, is gonna be waiting forever.

230
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 2: And so I think it's the best Hall of fame.

231
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 2: I think it's the hardest hall of fame to make.

232
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 2: I think it is the coolest one to debate and discuss.

233
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 2: And there are just certain years that you're like, well,

234
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 2: how are we gonna leave these guys out? Because they

235
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 2: only let five in? Okay, I hope that was interesting

236
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 2: to you guys. I love doing that every single year

237
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 2: because it's a good reminder you watch NFL football and

238
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 2: you hear the announcers call a lot of guys future

239
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 2: Hall of famers. Man oh man, you know what I

240
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 2: want to do this if everyone else every other podcast,

241
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 2: maybe this is you know, the I have the wrong

242
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 2: recipe for success. Other podcasts that are highly successful, they're

243
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 2: also not immediately getting into last night's sports stories. Instead,

244
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 2: they are just talking repeatedly and NonStop about the freakiest

245
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 2: sex imaginable. And I just really am shocked at how

246
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 2: many people are into what other sportscasters sex lives are like.

247
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 2: But man oh man, those are podcast ratings. Bonanzas Demansey,

248
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 2: you seem confused by this, I'll send you some clips.

249
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 2: We're no no, no, no, no. See, this is where

250
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 2: you need to just do a better job of listening

251
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 2: to me. Here. I'm not naming any names. I'm simply

252
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 2: saying there's a lot of very popular podcasts that are

253
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 2: super horny and that are just talking sex off the top.

254
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 2: So we're gonna talk pro football Hall of Fame the

255
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna do this real quick, and I'm sure

256
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 2: I'm gonna leave someone out because I'm doing it off

257
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 2: the top of my head. But how many right now?

258
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 2: No doubt Hall of famers are currently playing. The Miami

259
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 2: Dolphins have one in Tyreek Kill. The Buffalo Bills have

260
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 2: one in Von Miller, and then Josh Allen obviously is

261
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 2: pacing towards a Hall of Fame career, but he's not.

262
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 2: If he stopped now, he wouldn't be close to it.

263
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 2: The Jets have Aaron Rodgers. The Patriots have nobody. And

264
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 2: if the producers, if I mentioned any team and you

265
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 2: think I'm missing someone obvious, go ahead and tell me

266
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 2: the Ravens right now. Say it again, Daniel, I did

267
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:41,239
Speaker 2: not hear it. Okay, they're gonna check me on it.

268
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:46,959
Speaker 2: I and I'm just doing no doubt, no doubt. Hall

269
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,479
Speaker 2: of Famers, Tyreek von Miller, Aaron Rodgers. In the AFC East,

270
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 2: the Ravens right now have none. Lamar is pacing towards it,

271
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 2: but he's not there. TJ. Watt for the Steelers, Miles

272
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 2: Garrett for the Brown Joe Burrow's obviously pacing towards it,

273
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 2: but we'll see. The Jags have none, the Colts have none,

274
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 2: The Texans have none. Derrick Henry is not a no doubter,

275
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna addam he's pretty damned plot Derrick Henry. Oh,

276
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 2: good call Justin Tucker, Good call Tom On. So now

277
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 2: we're at seven. The Chiefs have two in Mahomes and Kelsey.

278
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 2: Chris Jones is not a no doubter. He might make it,

279
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 2: but he's not a no doubter. The Broncos have none.

280
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson's going to be a borderline. The Raiders have

281
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 2: one in DeVante Adams, where at ten, the Chargers have none.

282
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 2: In the NFC, the Eagles have Jason Kelcey. Lane Johnson's

283
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 2: gonna be borderline. The Cowboys have Micah's pacing towards it,

284
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 2: but way too far away have none. The Giants obviously

285
00:19:56,119 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 2: have none, Washington has none, Detroit's got none. Justin Jefferson's

286
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 2: pacing towards it for the Vikings, but he's not there yet.

287
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 2: And I'm sure there's Khalil Mack's not a no no.

288
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 2: He'll be borderline at best. And I'm sure I'm leaving

289
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 2: out some older defensive players who I've forgotten have are

290
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 2: still playing, that have Hall of Fame careers. The Packers

291
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 2: have none, the Bears have none, the Falcons have none,

292
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 2: the Saints have none. Mike Evans is not going to

293
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 2: be a no doubter, but we'll put him on there.

294
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 2: He's putting up quite the career. The Niners, Trent Williams

295
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 2: is a no doubter. Christian McCaffrey's pacing towards it, but

296
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 2: he's not there. The Seahawks have none, the Rams have

297
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 2: Aaron Donald and I'm sure I'm forgetting someone really good,

298
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 2: So they are right now in my opinion fifteen no

299
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 2: doubt haul and and by the way, the quarterbacks, A

300
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 2: bunch of these quarterbacks will make it. But the only

301
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 2: active quarterbacks right now who have already done enough to

302
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 2: be no doubters are Rogers and Mahomes. All the other

303
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 2: quarterbacks still have a lot of work to do. Rogers

304
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 2: and Mahomes could walk away today and be Hall of Famers. Okay,

305
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 2: there's our Hall of Fame half hour. Now let's get

306
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 2: to what was actually played for the show. Go ahead,

307
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 2: demanse all.

308
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 3: Right, Philly took care of business in Philly against the Bills.

309
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 3: Pray usually probably thought they would have done that, but

310
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 3: the Bills did play them close. It went into overtime,

311
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 3: and now Josh Allen has zero overtime wins throughout his career.

312
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 3: He made a couple of mental errors there at the end.

313
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 3: Would you like it? Would you like to say anything

314
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 3: to Bills fans to make it worse?

315
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 2: Or no, I don't want to make it worse. Listen,

316
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 2: Josh Allen played really really well in that game. I

317
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 2: thought Josh Allen out played Jalen Hurts. Jalen Hurts had

318
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 2: a second straight really odd game where he did not

319
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,479
Speaker 2: play well at all to start the game and then

320
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 2: made critical play after critical play late in the game.

321
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 2: And the Eagles are just great at finding ways to win,

322
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 2: and I give them massive credit. The Bills should have

323
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 2: won that game. They find they are great at finding

324
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 2: ways to lose games. But that wasn't on Josh Allen.

325
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 2: The interception notwithstanding. But here is the part where Bills

326
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 2: fans and I are gonna agree and I mentioned it

327
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 2: on TV, and to me it is these story from

328
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 2: the NFL Weekend Sean McDermott didn't trust Josh Allen. At

329
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 2: the end of that game, the Eagles are lining up

330
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 2: for a fifty nine yard field goal, the Bills have

331
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 2: two timeouts, the Eagles are down three. McDermott, in my opinion,

332
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 2: foolishly wastes one of those timeouts to ice the kicker,

333
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 2: even though with seventy years of data, we have no

334
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,880
Speaker 2: data that supports icing kickers helps or hurts the proposition.

335
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 2: It's just doing it to do it. And they burned

336
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 2: a timeout that they could have viewed. And I would

337
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 2: argue that Eagles, because they didn't have a time out

338
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 2: of their own, were happy the Bills called timeout so

339
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 2: they could settle the whole situation down, so McDermott could

340
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 2: have had the ball on the twenty five yard line

341
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 2: with twenty seconds left in two timeouts, where a field

342
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 2: goal wins the game. Keep in mind, the bills best

343
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 2: chance at a Super Bowl was ruined by Patrick Mahomes

344
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,360
Speaker 2: having the ball at the twenty five yard line with

345
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 2: two timeouts and thirteen seconds left. He had a whole

346
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 2: extra seven seconds. Now, McDermott burns the one timeout. You

347
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 2: still have one timeout, twenty seconds. Field goal wins you

348
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 2: the game. To take a knee there with Josh Allen

349
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 2: when he was playing as well as he is is

350
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,239
Speaker 2: such an indictment on your faith in that quarterback. And

351
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 2: while I'd been critical of Josh Allen, the entire team

352
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 2: is built around the idea that you have a superhero

353
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 2: at quarterback and for them to take a knee, And

354
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 2: it's not like, oh, we have a time of history

355
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 2: of winning these games in ot Sean mcdermot's never won

356
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 2: a single game in overtime as a head coach. Josh

357
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 2: Allens never won a single game in overtime as a

358
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 2: starting quarterback. You don't have a ton of history of that.

359
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 2: And with twenty seconds and even just the one time out,

360
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 2: you have the entire field to work with. You can

361
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 2: throw over the middle, call time out, get it around midfield,

362
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 2: then try to work the sideline and try a fifty

363
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 2: five yarder to win the game. So listen the Bills.

364
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,919
Speaker 2: DVA says the Bills have a fourteen percent chance of

365
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 2: making the playoffs. The ESPN analytics folks say fifteen percent chance.

366
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 2: Vegas has the Bills at a seventeen percent chance. The

367
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 2: Bills have a zero percent chance of making the playoffs.

368
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 2: They they're gonna look back and say, we lost to

369
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 2: Zach Wilson in overtime to start the year, We lost

370
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 2: to Mac Jones and the Patriots. We gave a game

371
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 2: away against Denver, we gave a game away against Philadelphia. Yeah,

372
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 2: maybe we should be nine to three, but you're six

373
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 2: and six and you're not gonna have any tie breakers

374
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 2: because you have five conference losses. So at ten and seven,

375
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,120
Speaker 2: you will not make it. The only way they could

376
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 2: make the playoffs is going eleven and six. And I'm

377
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 2: here to tell you a team that is six and

378
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 2: six is not winning five straight when those games are

379
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 2: at Kansas City, home for Dallas, at the Chargers, home

380
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 2: for the Patriots who are god awful but beat you,

381
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 2: and then at Miami. Just not happening. Like people need

382
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 2: to remove them their baysym priors of what they thought

383
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 2: the Bills were supposed to be. And recognize this. If

384
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 2: to make the playoffs, the Atlanta Falcons had to win

385
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 2: five straight games, would you believe they could? Or the

386
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 2: Green Bay Packers had to win five straight games, would

387
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 2: you believe they could? Of course not. Well, they have

388
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,479
Speaker 2: the same number of losses as the Bills. If the

389
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 2: Colts had to run the table to make the playoffs,

390
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 2: would you believe in them? Of course, they have a

391
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 2: better record than the Bills. So yet, no, the Bills

392
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 2: are cooked. They're going to end up firing Sean McDermott

393
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 2: and we'll see if next year they can be the

394
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,679
Speaker 2: team that for three years everyone in the media, except

395
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 2: for your trustee host Nick Wright, has tried to convince

396
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 2: you they are. They're a talented, underachieving team perpetually. That also,

397
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 2: by the way, is not nearly as talented as people

398
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 2: made them out to be. Von Miller unfortunately, is not

399
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,439
Speaker 2: the same player. And aside from Diggs and Alan, who

400
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,479
Speaker 2: do they have on offense that scares you? All Right,

401
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,199
Speaker 2: let's go to the Eagles side of things, Demonsey.

402
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 3: Eagles side of things. Oh yeah, so the Eagles are

403
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 3: the best record in football right now, and Jalen Hurts

404
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 3: is in the running for MVP right now. They have

405
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 3: a showdown with the Niners next. Who are you rooting for?

406
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 3: Which one would scare you more in a Super Bowl

407
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 3: rematch between the Niners or Eagles.

408
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 2: Well, neither would scary, but the Eagles are a better team.

409
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 2: And I listen, I'd be thrilled to play Brock Party

410
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 2: in a Super Bowl. It would sign me up, Sign

411
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 2: me up for that. The Eagles won't be afraid of

412
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:18,199
Speaker 2: the moment. The Eagles have a super complete team. The

413
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 2: Eagles have two stud receivers, and the Eagles are uh

414
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 2: and the Eagles are one of the most analytically savvy

415
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 2: teams in the league. It's not just the brotherly shove stuff,

416
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 2: it's all of their fourth down stuff, which not always

417
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 2: but they're typically super super sharp on one. More so,

418
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 2: the Eagles.

419
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 3: Would be the.

420
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 2: Pardon me, the tougher matchup in my opinion.

421
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, so they're home dogs right now. The Eagles are

422
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 3: in this game with Brock Party at quarterback.

423
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I think it's wildly disrespectful that a ten

424
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 2: and one healthy Eagles team is a home underdog. It's

425
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 2: not to say the Niner can't win that game, but

426
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 2: that is a wild line. That is what happened with

427
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 2: Dogs at home, and that is to me a what

428
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 2: Vegas is saying is that they think the Niners, fully healthy,

429
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 2: are far and away the best team in football. I

430
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 2: don't agree with them, but that's what Vegas is telling

431
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 2: us with that line.

432
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 3: All right, next, all right, So the Chiefs took care

433
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 3: of business in an AFC showdown versus the Raiders. They

434
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 3: erased the fourteen point deficit and ended up coming out

435
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 3: with the win. Meanwhile, the Ravens or my Ravens should

436
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 3: I say, still sit the top of the one seed.

437
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 3: But you say, is the or look like the more

438
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 3: incomplete or more complete team? But you've always been kind

439
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 3: of down on the Ravens. Do you think that Arrowhead

440
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 3: Invitational was in jeopardy at this point?

441
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 2: No? And I don't think the Ravens look like the

442
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 2: more complete team. Anybody thought the Ravens looked great on

443
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 2: Monday Night football. I'm sorry, Sunday Night f ball against

444
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 2: the Chargers. I didn't. That's the worst defense in the NFL.

445
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 2: The Ravens have thirteen points with a minute left. Now

446
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 2: they ended up with twenty because Zay Flowers ran.

447
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 3: I think the Chiefs wess Travis Kelsey.

448
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 2: Right, But that's but Mark Andrews isn't coming back, buddy,

449
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 2: I mean that's the that's the problem. I mean, that's

450
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 2: the I mean, how would the Chiefs look if Tyreek

451
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 2: Kilber on the team. He's not He's not coming back

452
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 2: like the I mean, the Mark Andrews is done. And

453
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 2: here is a yeah, I mean he's on ir They

454
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 2: they they seem to think they initially said his season

455
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 2: was over. Now they seem to be holding out hope

456
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 2: that he could come back late in the playoffs. I

457
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 2: don't buy that. And here is a sneaky thing when

458
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 2: it comes to the Chiefs versus the Ravens. I'm gonna

459
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 2: so right now everyone would say, well, yeah, they don't

460
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 2: have Mark Andrews, but the Chiefs have nobody like Zay

461
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 2: Flowers if you take out Kelsey. Sure about that. Rookie

462
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 2: wide receivers a Flowers has six hundred yards ten yards

463
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 2: per catch and two touchdowns. Rookie wide receivers A Flowers

464
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 2: six hundred yards ten yards per catch, two receiving touchdowns.

465
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 2: Rookie receiver Rashi Rice five hundred and twenty five yards,

466
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 2: twelve yards per catch, five touchdowns, one fewer game because

467
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 2: the Ravens haven't had the bye. I say that to

468
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 2: say this, the Chief's biggest question is their receiving core.

469
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 2: The Ravens' biggest edge on the Chiefs is supposed to

470
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 2: be their receiving corp. The Ravens excellent tight end is

471
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 2: done for the year. The Chief's excellent tight end is

472
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 2: coming off one hundred yard game the Ravens star rookie

473
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 2: wide receiver has put up. I would argue slightly, it's

474
00:30:56,120 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 2: in the margins less productive season than the Chiefs hookie

475
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 2: wide receiver despite way more opportunities. And so I think

476
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 2: the Ravens offense is concerning. And as far as we

477
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 2: can show you their schedules the rest of the way,

478
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 2: let's just say the Chiefs lose to the Bills. Just

479
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 2: assign the Chiefs a loss to the Bills. In order

480
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 2: to be the one seed, the Ravens have to run

481
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 2: the table. If the Ravens and Chiefs finish with the

482
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 2: same record, the Chiefs are the one seed. So the

483
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 2: Ravens will have to not only handle the Rams, but

484
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 2: then beat the Jags in Jacksonville, beat the Niners in

485
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 2: San Francisco, beat the Dolphins at home, and a divisional

486
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 2: matchup where the Steelers might playoff life might be on

487
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 2: the line. They have to run the table there. And

488
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 2: if the Chiefs run the table, and by the way,

489
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 2: they are favorites in every game left on their schedule,

490
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 2: the Ravens can't be the one seed. If they both

491
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 2: finish fourteen and three, the Chiefs are the one seed.

492
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 2: If they both finish thirteen and four, the Chiefs are

493
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 2: the one seed. So in order for the Ravens to

494
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 2: be the one seed, they're gonna have to run the table.

495
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 2: They're not going to run the table. And this is

496
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 2: why I told you guys earlier in the year the

497
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 2: Chiefs beating the Jaguars straight up was critical. They have

498
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 2: the head dead tiebreaker. Beating the Dolphins straight up as critical.

499
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 2: They have the head dead tiebreaker. They never play the Ravens,

500
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 2: so the tiebreaker comes down to conference record. The Ravens

501
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 2: have three AFC losses the Chiefs have won. So no,

502
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 2: I do not see a scenario where there isn't the

503
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 2: Arrowhead Invitational and the Ravens. The Ravens defense has been excellent,

504
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 2: but so is the Chiefs. I yeah, and that Ravens

505
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 2: offensive performance. Here's the thing. I was watching Sunday night football.

506
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 2: The Ravens were up thirteen to three, the Chargers had

507
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 2: done nothing. It was midway through the third quarter, and

508
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 2: I bet the Chargers to win the game outright live

509
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 2: at plus six point eighty. Now they ended up losing.

510
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 2: I lost the bet, but my point was, I was like, Oh,

511
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 2: the Ravens will absolutely find a way to have the

512
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 2: Chargers be right back in this at the end, which

513
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 2: they were, and now the charge it was two teams

514
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 2: that love finding ways to keep things close when they

515
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 2: shouldn't be, and the Chargers couldn't put it away. But

516
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 2: I I do not look at the Ravens as the

517
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 2: as a juggernaut. I just don't. They have an excellent

518
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 2: defense and Lamar can be dynamic. But I didn't think

519
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 2: Lamar played very well in that Chargers game. I don't

520
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 2: think Lamar has played that well since the Lions game.

521
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 2: And so no, I just I'm not buying the Ravens

522
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 2: a super Bowl team.

523
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 3: So I was just thinking there was some time earlier

524
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 3: this year where you said they scare you or something,

525
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 3: and I think.

526
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the Lions game. I mean, they annihilated

527
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 2: the Lions. But it's also true as this, they have

528
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 2: annihilated their three NFC opponents this year. NFC teams that

529
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 2: see Lamar once every four years cannot deal with it.

530
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 2: Against AFC teams, they've been good, but not great, and

531
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 2: they've blown some games.

532
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 3: All right, next, all right, so the Prince retained his

533
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 3: throne against CJ. Stroud but kind of barely might have

534
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,839
Speaker 3: gotten the one, but CJ Stroud definitely outplayed him. How

535
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 3: close are we to seeing a new monarch in the

536
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:30,919
Speaker 3: AFC South? Pretty close?

537
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't hold on, I don't so I'm not

538
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 2: gonna say anything bad about c J. Stroud, but I'm

539
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 2: also not gonna let just the misinformation go without being

540
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 2: responded to. I mean, I don't know that you can

541
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 2: say CJ. Stroud clearly outplayed Trevor. Trevor had three hundred

542
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 2: and sixty four yards passing and three touchdowns and two touchdowns.

543
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 2: Pardon me, see had three hundred and four yards passing

544
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 2: and three touchdowns because he had the rushing touchdown as

545
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 2: well as Trevor. Okay, I mean you I'll buy it.

546
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 2: That's fine now that I look at it again, because

547
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 2: he didn't turn the ball over and Trevor did. Okay,

548
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 2: you know what. That's I thought both quarterbacks played excellent

549
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 2: in the game. That's why I said I'm not gonna

550
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 2: knock CJ. Stroud. But to answer the question, is there

551
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:26,919
Speaker 2: a chance that CJ. Stroud ends up being the best

552
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 2: quarterback in the AFC South, Yeah, of course. Listen, I

553
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 2: think Trevor's awesome. CJ. Stroud is having one of the

554
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 2: greatest rookie seasons ever. I'm not gonna put a ceiling

555
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 2: on and he he had one of the best passes

556
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 2: of the year, overturned on a questionable penalty for the

557
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,919
Speaker 2: second straight week, or it might have been two times

558
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 2: the last three weeks. The touchdown pass he threw a

559
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 2: few weeks ago got called back. That was an absolute dime.

560
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 2: And then he threw a seventy yard bomb in the

561
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 2: air to Tank Dell that got called back. I think

562
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 2: see awesome. Also, did you see what Trevor said when

563
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 2: he was asked about the rivalry and about one of

564
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 2: the reporters said to him, like, hey, is it cool

565
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,399
Speaker 2: for you that there's another great quarterback in the AFC South.

566
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 2: You guys are gonna have this going for years, and

567
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 2: Trevor was like, no, I want the teams in my

568
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 2: division to be as bad as possible. I'm not glad

569
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 2: he's here. I mean, CJ. I mean, it was a

570
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 2: very honest answer. CJ's great, though, so and I think

571
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 2: the Texans are gonna make the playoffs. That was a

572
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 2: massive win for the Jags. Though they lose that game,

573
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 2: they're in second place in the division because they'd be

574
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 2: seven and four, the Texans be seven and four, and

575
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 2: the Texans would have swept them. Now they're in a

576
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 2: spot where it is just they're in such a strong

577
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 2: position because they not only do they have the two

578
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 2: game lead, but they also have the benefit of let

579
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 2: me make sure I have this right. The Texans have

580
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 2: two divisional losses and the Jags have four divisional wins,

581
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:09,280
Speaker 2: so if they finish with the same record, the odds

582
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 2: are the Jags will win the tiebreaker. So the Texans

583
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 2: to win the division probably have to finish with more

584
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 2: wins than Jacksonville does. The Texans are six and five,

585
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 2: even if the Texans go five and one down the stretch,

586
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,720
Speaker 2: which would be very difficult, and they get to eleven

587
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:31,800
Speaker 2: and six. The Jags would then have to down the stretch.

588
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 2: Pard me go two and four, and they're not going

589
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 2: to The Jags still have on the schedule home for

590
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 2: the Bengals and Jake Browning, then two tough games at

591
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 2: the Browns home for the Ravens, at the Bucks kind

592
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 2: of tough home for the Panthers, and at the Titans.

593
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 2: So even if the Jags play poorly, they're going to

594
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:57,439
Speaker 2: get to eleven wins. So they in my opinion, locked

595
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 2: up the division with that win. To huge win for Jackjacksonville.

596
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 2: Josh Allen defensive end. Josh Allen played great. Now the

597
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 2: downside for Jacksonville, their left tackle Cam Robinson, God dog it,

598
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 2: sorry but our internet's taking hits. But you guys and

599
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:14,919
Speaker 2: still hear me. They're left tackle Cam Robinson got put

600
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 2: on IR, which is obviously a problem for them.

601
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 3: All right, next, All right, So Frank Reich was fired

602
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 3: after eleven games in Carolina. So it's kind of weird

603
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,919
Speaker 3: because he was really high on Stroud and he wanted

604
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 3: Stroud over Young. The Panthers owner now claims that they

605
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 3: wanted to trade for the number two pick to get Stroud,

606
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,919
Speaker 3: but then their front office got behind behind Young at one.

607
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 3: We're gonna show up maybe, I think a tweet for

608
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 3: those watching on YouTube, this.

609
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 2: Is what Albert Brier wrote. Originally we were gonna go

610
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 2: to the number two pick. We thought we'd get CJ

611
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,280
Speaker 2: because we thought the Texans were gonna pick Bryce, and listen,

612
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 2: we preferred Bryce. He was a number one pick. We

613
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 2: had a lot of conviction. That's from Dave Tepper. So

614
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 2: I don't want to spend a lot of time on

615
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 2: the Panthers. Here's the deal their show.

616
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 1: Uh.

617
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 2: They they traded away this year's pick, which is gonna

618
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 2: end up being the Caleb Williams pick, so they could

619
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 2: move all the way up to number one, and they

620
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,399
Speaker 2: took the wrong quarterback. And now Dave Tepper, I don't

621
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 2: know who's gonna want to work for him because he

622
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 2: keeps firing coaches. He keeps hiring and firing coaches. And

623
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:22,959
Speaker 2: to not give for a listen, I don't think Frank

624
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 2: Reich did a good job, but to not give him

625
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 2: a full season. You think you're gonna go get Ben Johnson.

626
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 2: You think you're gonna get the top coaching candidate. Of course, not.

627
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 2: They're gonna be out in the wilderness for a while. Man. Uh,

628
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 2: you guys know I didn't believe in Bryce before the

629
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 2: draft too small, just don't believe in it. But they

630
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 2: have no way to replace him. They're gonna hire a

631
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:44,919
Speaker 2: coach who they probably is set up to fail, gonna

632
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 2: fire again. It's there they and they're gonna watch the pick.

633
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 2: Oh I hope he doesn't take that job. Oh God,

634
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 2: I would hope he wouldn't take that job. They be

635
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 2: better off staying seeing if he gets promoted in Washington.

636
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 2: I don't take that job. That job's got no future

637
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 2: right now and a very fickle owner. Quick break right back,

659
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 2: We want to talk Belichick here, so go ahead.

660
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:25,240
Speaker 3: So mac Jones was benched again for Zappy. The Patriots

661
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 3: couldn't take care of business against a future Hall of

662
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 3: Famer Tommy DeVito. At the end of the game, Belichick

663
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,720
Speaker 3: opted to go for overtime rather than get the dub.

664
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 3: It backfired and they missed the kick, losing the game.

665
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 3: What's more likely? Do you think Belichick is tanking or

666
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,280
Speaker 3: he has zero faith in anybody on his team?

667
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 2: I mean, neither The kicking the field goal. There was

668
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 2: not a controversial decision. It was they had a fourth

669
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 2: and five, which it went on the seventeen yard line

670
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 2: that if they with at most twenty five seconds left,

671
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 2: they ended up kicking the field goal at six seconds

672
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 2: because they let the clock run down. Going for the

673
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 2: going for it there would have been absolute suicide. You.

674
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:13,240
Speaker 2: I mean, you have a rookie kicker that you drafted

675
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 2: in the fourth round. You have to kick the field

676
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 2: goal there? The kid just missed, and I mean the

677
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:20,320
Speaker 2: team now you go ahead?

678
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:21,799
Speaker 3: Is that the kicker that just get That's the kicker

679
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 3: that just got cut? Right? And do you.

680
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,879
Speaker 2: Think no, no chance he just got cut? Did he did?

681
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:29,879
Speaker 2: I miss that he did?

682
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:32,799
Speaker 3: I could be wrong, But do you think you were

683
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 3: wrong for it? With Brady?

684
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 2: No, you never go for it there. I don't even

685
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 2: know what they're talking about. No, of course not. You

686
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 2: have to kick it. You're on the fifteen yard line

687
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:46,800
Speaker 2: with thirty seconds left, you play for overtime against Tommy DeVito.

688
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 2: That's not the problem. The problem was starting Mac Jones,

689
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 2: who is a bro. Listen. People can say Zappi is

690
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:56,280
Speaker 2: terrible and Zapi is terrible, but Mac Jones is broken

691
00:42:56,360 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 2: as a player, flatly broken as a player. So the listen.

692
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 2: I don't think they're tanking. I think the roster has

693
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 2: been terribly constructed, and I think they don't have enough talent.

694
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 2: And if they end up lucking into Caleb Williams, I'm

695
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 2: gonna be sick to my stomach. But I think the

696
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 2: Panthers are gonna end up the Panthers might not win

697
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 2: again all year, and that pick will go to the Bears.

698
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 2: The question is the Patriots. Right now, Patriots, Cardinals, Panthers

699
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 2: all have one or two wins. Everyone else now has

700
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 2: at least four. So the worst case scenario for the

701
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 2: Patriots is probably they end up with Marvin Harrison Junior,

702
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 2: which is not a bad scenario, but in that scenario,

703
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 2: they still wouldn't have a quarterback. But no, they're not tanking,

704
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:37,879
Speaker 2: they're just not any good. All right?

705
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 3: Next, All right, we're playing a game. Today's this with that? Yeah,

706
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 3: first off, we got the Broncos, the hottest team in

707
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 3: the AFC, riding a five game win streak. Youve ben

708
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 3: calling Denver and Russ Cook for a while now, but

709
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 3: it seems like they may have figured some stuff out

710
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:56,320
Speaker 3: going forward. The Broncos are dangerous or cooked.

711
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:02,280
Speaker 2: No, they're frauds. I mean this. I really wonder sometimes

712
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:05,240
Speaker 2: if people watch games like am I the only person

713
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 2: watching games? People are like oh Russell Wilson twenty touchdowns,

714
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,240
Speaker 2: four picks. Dude threw for one hundred and thirty five yards.

715
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 2: His coach clearly doesn't trust him. He's averaging less than

716
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 2: two hundred yards per game this season. Now, it's interesting

717
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 2: that they've pulled They pulled themselves out of the spiral

718
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 2: from one to five, but I think they probably lose

719
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 2: their next three games. Now, in fairness, I thought they

720
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 2: were gonna lose to the Browns, but I also think

721
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 2: they would have lost the Browns if DTR didn't get

722
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,800
Speaker 2: knocked out of that football game. They at the Texans,

723
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:36,960
Speaker 2: at the Chargers, at the Lions. They're gonna be underdogs

724
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 2: in all three of those games. So I don't think

725
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 2: they're gonna make those.

726
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 3: Those Browns right, Like, is they're the best defense they're

727
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:45,239
Speaker 3: gonna play for the rest of the year.

728
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, Browns might have the best defense in football.

729
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 2: I don't listen. This is one of those things. If

730
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 2: I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I'm not gonna be wrong. There's

731
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:59,240
Speaker 2: here's what I find interesting. Let me check this preseason

732
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 2: NFL win totals? Uh? And this is okay? There we go.

733
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 2: There it is the Broncos preseason win total. Wait, that's

734
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 2: not right. Hold on, how have they changed? What the

735
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:16,479
Speaker 2: hell is this? Hold on this I have the wrong?

736
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 1: Uh.

737
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 2: This has been updated incorrectly, I guess. But let me

738
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:24,319
Speaker 2: look and see where the Broncos were see if I

739
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 2: can find it. I apologize I should have had this.

740
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 2: Here we go the some reason this was from the

741
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 2: active the Broncos before the year. How many games do

742
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 2: you think they were projected to win before the year?

743
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 2: Give it a guess? Uh?

744
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 3: Eight or ten? Actually call it ten?

745
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 2: No, eight and a half. You were closer tens, a

746
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 2: very high number. So the Broncos are likely this year

747
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 2: going to finish under their win total. They're probably gonna

748
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 2: finish eight to nine, right around the win total eight

749
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 2: and nine. And because they were such a show to

750
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 2: start the year, people are gonna call it a massive success.

751
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 2: It will not be now coming and not having the

752
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 2: season totally go to hell after you allow seventy points

753
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 2: and fall to zero to three. Credit to them for that,

754
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 2: But this is not some dangerous, really good team. I

755
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 2: understand they're on a nice winning streak, and on this

756
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 2: winning streak they have forced fifteen turnovers. That's not sustainable.

757
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 2: I don't look at this as a dangerous team. If

758
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 2: le Broncos fans can get mad at me, man, well,

759
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 2: they beat the Chiefs. That's the good team they've beaten.

760
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:42,240
Speaker 2: They beat the Packers, They're fine. They beat the Chiefs,

761
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 2: The Chiefs are good. They beat the Bills, who are mediocre.

762
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:49,319
Speaker 2: They beat the Vikings, who are mediocre. The Browns in

763
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 2: a game their quarterback got knocked out in I mean

764
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 2: think it was fourteen twelve, and then the quarterback got

765
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:56,319
Speaker 2: knocked out, Like I just the I mean, I guess

766
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 2: credit to them for knocking the quarterback out on an

767
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:01,280
Speaker 2: illegal hit. I don't know what you want me to say.

768
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:03,800
Speaker 2: People want me to be a prisoner of the moment

769
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,919
Speaker 2: and be like, the Broncos are dangerous. They're not next

770
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 2: all right.

771
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:10,760
Speaker 3: The Lions are rolling earlier early this year, but Jared

772
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 3: Goff forgot how to play mistake free football. That was

773
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:15,799
Speaker 3: oh gosh. And they lost to the Packers on Thanksgiving.

774
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:19,760
Speaker 3: Things in Detroit are fixable, or are they doomed.

775
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 2: Well, our Lions number one seed bet is doomed. That's

776
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 2: for sure. That I liked that bet a lot that's

777
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 2: now cooked. I don't want to say they're doomed, but

778
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:38,360
Speaker 2: what's wrong with them is not fixable. It's very simple.

779
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:41,240
Speaker 2: What's wrong with them? If you can pressure Jared Goff,

780
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:46,440
Speaker 2: he's terrible. This is been who he's been his whole career.

781
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 2: And this is another one of those things that folks

782
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 2: just when golf, you know, golf had a stretch. He's

783
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 2: putting up amazing numbers and folks want to be They're like,

784
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:58,360
Speaker 2: are you gonna apologize to Jared Goff? No, we have

785
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 2: known for his his whole career. If he's protected, he

786
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 2: can look awesome. He was the quarterback for one of

787
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 2: the highest scoring teams in NFL history with the Rams.

788
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 2: He went to a Super Bowl. We saw him last

789
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:15,360
Speaker 2: year with the Lions on their winning streak in the

790
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 2: beginning of this year. When he's protected, he's excellent. The

791
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:25,319
Speaker 2: problem is he deals with pressure. And I don't mean

792
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 2: like existential pressure. I mean the actual pressure of a

793
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 2: pass rush, worse than just about any quarterback in the NFL.

794
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:35,840
Speaker 2: And and I know people think this is like silly

795
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 2: old scout stuff, but you saw it first had on Thanksgiving.

796
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 2: He has tiny hands and he cannot hold onto the football.

797
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:47,280
Speaker 2: If he gets hit, that stuff matters, and so that's

798
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 2: not fixable. The reason I was high on the Lions

799
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:54,719
Speaker 2: was if they got home field and he could play

800
00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 2: in a weather controlled dome and had one less playoff

801
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 2: to play and they could block it up. That Lion's

802
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 2: offense is dynamic, and the defense I thought could be

803
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 2: just good enough. But the defense has regressed, and the

804
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 2: offensive line the last couple of weeks has gotten its

805
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 2: butt kicked. And say the last couple weeks, but a

806
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 2: couple times in the last few weeks has gotten its

807
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 2: butt kicked. And all of a sudden, he's throwing three

808
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:23,320
Speaker 2: picks against Chicago, He's fumbling three times against the Packers,

809
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:27,359
Speaker 2: gets annihilated against the Ravens. Like there's a problem. It's

810
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:30,400
Speaker 2: just flatly a problem. So I don't think they're doomed.

811
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:33,399
Speaker 2: They're a good team, but this is not a team

812
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:37,480
Speaker 2: that's if you can pressure him, he's gonna fall apart.

813
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:41,920
Speaker 3: Next all right, my favorite Draywan is returning after his

814
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,839
Speaker 3: five game suspension, but it doesn't really seem like he's

815
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 3: learned his lesson. He said, I'm going to be me

816
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:50,279
Speaker 3: no matter what. So players should probably start working on

817
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 3: their self defense skills. It's more likely that Dreywan will

818
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 3: get suspended again or clean up his act. I mean,

819
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:57,440
Speaker 3: second one's not an option.

820
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:00,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, he just this is this total lack

821
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 2: of accountability and this whole idea that where he's like,

822
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,440
Speaker 2: he's like, listen, I paid my price. I got suspended

823
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 2: for a game of the finals, but you've had like

824
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:13,919
Speaker 2: nine egregious incidents since then. Like I Draymond's an all

825
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:16,600
Speaker 2: time great player and he's a legendary player. He is

826
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 2: also all time first team lack of self awareness and

827
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 2: just the failure to take accountability and what Gobert said,

828
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:28,400
Speaker 2: man about if Steph's not there, he doesn't want to play.

829
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:30,719
Speaker 2: The numbers back that up. And that was a that

830
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:34,959
Speaker 2: was a cutting insult by the Frenchman. All right, last one,

831
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:36,279
Speaker 2: go ahead.

832
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 3: All right. Last week, he went on Mina Kaimes podcast

833
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:42,000
Speaker 3: and roasted sports media for being so in on pointless

834
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:45,759
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving topics that the take blew up, but maybe not

835
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 3: in the way that you'd want. So let's take a

836
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:51,279
Speaker 3: look at three tweets We're gonna show you on YouTube.

837
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 2: When did Nick writ start looking like Shia Shia Labouf

838
00:50:56,360 --> 00:51:00,279
Speaker 2: cosplaying as Adam Driver? That was good? Nick right looks

839
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 2: like a homeless magician? That was pretty good. And the

840
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 2: best one was why does Nick Wright look like he

841
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:08,799
Speaker 2: sells used cars to doth Rockis? All right? That's a

842
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:12,960
Speaker 2: good I mean, those are all really funny. I So

843
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 2: here's the thing. I thought these were really well done.

844
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,319
Speaker 2: I thought that the commenters make because I was still

845
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 2: wearing my suit from TV, but I was in like

846
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:26,640
Speaker 2: a windowless room, I had a smudge camera. My hair

847
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 2: was even more of a mess than usual, So I

848
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 2: looked a little odd on Mina's podcast. I'll take that.

849
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 2: I'm fine with that. In those insults, I thought they

850
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 2: were really well done. I thought the homeless magician line

851
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 2: was legit hilarious, and the cells used cars to doth

852
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:43,760
Speaker 2: rockis was one of the most unique insults I've ever heard.

853
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 2: We answer your chat questions next What's Right? All Right?

872
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:44,160
Speaker 2: out of here.

873
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:47,279
Speaker 3: Go ahead, all right, Billy Ray asked you called Rock

Speaker 3: Party a sports car because he's great when everything is

875
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 3: going well, but isn't good when things aren't perfect, can't

876
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 3: the Samy said for the Cowboys.

877
00:52:56,320 --> 00:53:00,439
Speaker 2: Uh possibly, yeah, I mean I think that's uh right.

878
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:04,800
Speaker 2: Here's the thing. I don't think the Cowboys need everything

879
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:08,319
Speaker 2: to be perfect. But right now, what is true is

880
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:15,359
Speaker 2: they have not played their best. Well here, I want

881
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:18,879
Speaker 2: to be honestly, I thought the Cowboys played really well

882
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:21,960
Speaker 2: against Philly. They lost, but they went to Philly. The

883
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 2: game came down to a couple of key plays. Philly

884
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:26,960
Speaker 2: made them, Cowboys didn't. But I don't look at the

885
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 2: Cowboys Eagles as like, oh, the Cowboys can't win that matchup.

886
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 2: They split with them last year. I think they're gonna

887
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:33,879
Speaker 2: split with them this year. Dak has cooked that second

888
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 2: eary for a while. In my opinion, the Cowboys have

889
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 2: played one truly terrible game all year, and it was

890
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 2: arguably their biggest game. It was the game against the Niners,

891
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:43,960
Speaker 2: because the Niners knocked them out of the playoffs last

892
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:47,399
Speaker 2: couple of years. But I think the Cowboys are right

893
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 2: now a touch underrated. I think that the way they

894
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:55,160
Speaker 2: have blown out these teams has to account for something.

895
00:53:55,960 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 2: And the prety point that I'm making is we party

896
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:06,319
Speaker 2: has had multiple opportunities under the exact circumstances that when

897
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:08,040
Speaker 2: people are like, what do you want to see from him?

898
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 2: I laid out exactly what I wanted to see from him.

899
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:13,480
Speaker 2: Then he had three straight opportunities in those circumstances, and

900
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:16,759
Speaker 2: he came with shortened all three. So it's a little

901
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 2: apples to oranges for the Cowboys. But yeah, both both that.

902
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 2: It's why right now the Eagles should be considered the

903
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:26,360
Speaker 2: clear cut favorites in the conference. I know I picked Dallas,

904
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 2: but the Eagles have earned that up to this point,

905
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 2: all right.

906
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 3: Next, Connor Leland asked, is there any way Kansas City

907
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:36,600
Speaker 3: trades multiple draft picks to get into the top ten

908
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:39,600
Speaker 3: this year to draft brock Bawers and have him have

909
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:42,320
Speaker 3: him learn under Kelsey? Would you love to see Mahomes

910
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:43,840
Speaker 3: or Mahomes Bowers connection.

911
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, listen, I think that would be a

912
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:51,880
Speaker 2: terrible idea. You don't the Chiefs are Listen. Brock Bowers

913
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 2: looks like he's gonna be awesome, And you guys know,

914
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 2: last year I liked the idea of them of drafting

915
00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 2: a tight end relatively with one of their first or

916
00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:00,799
Speaker 2: second picks, so we can learn under Kelse's I understand that,

917
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:03,480
Speaker 2: but the Chiefs do not are not in a position,

918
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 2: in my opinion, we're trading up. You'd probably have to

919
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:10,120
Speaker 2: trade multiple first round picks to get up high enough

920
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:15,160
Speaker 2: to draft draft Rock Bowers, and they need cheap, cost

921
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:19,040
Speaker 2: controlled talent that can start. And they've done so well

922
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 2: in the draft that I don't want them trading multiple

923
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:24,560
Speaker 2: picks for just one guy. So I would not endorse that,

924
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 2: even though I understand. Yeah, Bowers I think would be amazing,

925
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 2: and I think but also the super highly drafted tight

926
00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:34,080
Speaker 2: ends as of late have not panned out necessarily the

927
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 2: way people thought they were going to.

928
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:40,800
Speaker 3: All Right, Next, Majin Bousha asked who gets who gets

929
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:44,279
Speaker 3: in for the last spot in the AFC? The Chargers, Bills, Texans,

930
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:45,400
Speaker 3: Colts are Browns.

931
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:48,920
Speaker 2: Listen, I the I mean the Chargers are done. I

932
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 2: I think that the AFC playoffs and I'll even give

933
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:58,439
Speaker 2: you the the uh order. I think it's gonna fall

934
00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:01,880
Speaker 2: like this. I think it is going to be Kansas

935
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:07,719
Speaker 2: City one, Jacksonville two, Miami three, Baltimore four as your

936
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 2: divisional winners, Pittsburgh five as your top wild card, Cleveland six,

937
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:18,640
Speaker 2: and Houston seven. I think Houston's gonna be the last

938
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:20,279
Speaker 2: team in all right.

939
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:25,560
Speaker 3: Next football, CF Candy asked h Nick, what do you

940
00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:28,200
Speaker 3: think the Bears should do this offseason? With the talent

941
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:30,680
Speaker 3: on that roster and the level of draft capital they have,

942
00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:33,480
Speaker 3: they could be amazing next year. What is the best way?

943
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:39,280
Speaker 2: I think they trade Justin Fields to Atlanta for Field

944
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:45,120
Speaker 2: for Atlanta's second round pick. I think they draft Caleb

945
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:48,839
Speaker 2: at number one with the pick from Carolina, and I

946
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 2: think they hold an auction for their own pick, which

947
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:55,399
Speaker 2: will probably be five or six, and try to turn

948
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:59,200
Speaker 2: that into another year with multiple first round picks. That's

949
00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:01,640
Speaker 2: what I think they should. I think you draft Caleb,

950
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:04,680
Speaker 2: you trade Justin for a second round a high second

951
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:07,719
Speaker 2: round pick from Atlanta, which I think would I think

952
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:09,680
Speaker 2: it would be a good fit for him there. I

953
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:13,080
Speaker 2: think him with those weapons in a dome on turf

954
00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 2: would be great and you could, you know, stay at

955
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:20,840
Speaker 2: number Say they're drafting now, if they if they ended

956
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:23,480
Speaker 2: up with the first and third pick, I'd probably just

957
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:28,720
Speaker 2: take Caleb and Marvin Harrison Junior. But they're probably gonna

958
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:31,120
Speaker 2: end up with like five to six. You could draft

959
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:32,960
Speaker 2: the tackle there, but you took a tackle with the

960
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:36,520
Speaker 2: number ten pick last year. I'd rather trade that trade

961
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:39,280
Speaker 2: back a bit and try to acquire more draft capital.

962
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:42,360
Speaker 2: All right. Last one de Monsey Uh Whizzy.

963
00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 3: Eleven ninety seven ask does Trentage have an online store?

964
00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:48,920
Speaker 2: It does not. It is, as my wife would say,

965
00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:51,680
Speaker 2: it is an experience, so you need to come into

966
00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:54,880
Speaker 2: the store to check it out. We appreciate that. Now.

967
00:57:55,360 --> 00:57:57,880
Speaker 2: I do wonder if some of the Trentage hoodies or

968
00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:01,840
Speaker 2: the Trentage branded merchandise, if those could be available online

969
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 2: at some point before the holidays. But for everything that's

970
00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:07,360
Speaker 2: in here, it's all one of the kind pieces that

971
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:09,960
Speaker 2: she's kind of hand selected, so it's not an online

972
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 2: it's not available online. All right. I'll see you guys
