<v Speaker 2>Welcome in What's Drip In the Great Episode two eighty five.

0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:50.200
<v Speaker 2>A ton to do Today, A lot going on. Bill

0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:54.960
<v Speaker 2>Belichick is the head coach of the North Carolina tar

0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:59.840
<v Speaker 2>Heel football team. We are off a third straight winning week,

0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:04.240
<v Speaker 2>well above five hundred in the Gambling Show eleven and four,

0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:09.240
<v Speaker 2>the last three weeks, really feeling hitting our stride. Danny

0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:13.479
<v Speaker 2>parkins Aragon ass you had a losing week, only one

0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:17.200
<v Speaker 2>game behind him on the TV Picks, which had been

0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:22.080
<v Speaker 2>so Here's how we do the Gambling Show. Every Thursday morning,

0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:26.880
<v Speaker 2>I pick my five bets for the weekend. Sometimes there's

0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:29.160
<v Speaker 2>a Thursday night football game involved in those. There might

0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:33.319
<v Speaker 2>be one this week and then by Friday afternoon, with

0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:38.520
<v Speaker 2>more injury information, more weather information, more time to marinate.

0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:44.200
<v Speaker 2>Among those five, I pick my three favorite, and so

0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:50.400
<v Speaker 2>the I'm fifty four percent ish on the five picks

0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:54.600
<v Speaker 2>every week on this show, sixty one percent on the

0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:57.480
<v Speaker 2>three picks that we do every Friday on First Things First.

0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:00.200
<v Speaker 2>So that's going great a ton to do, so let's

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:03.560
<v Speaker 2>get right into it. Here's what missed the cut. The

0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:07.520
<v Speaker 2>Bill's ownership group has added Vince Carter and Tracy McGrady

0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:10.720
<v Speaker 2>and oh my demons, I'm gonna send you do not

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:14.400
<v Speaker 2>read this text on the air, Okay, but I am

0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:17.200
<v Speaker 2>going to. You're gonna be able to tell from the

0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:22.000
<v Speaker 2>initials who this text is too. And then read what

0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:24.560
<v Speaker 2>I wrote, Read the very top what I wrote, I

0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:29.079
<v Speaker 2>guess Sindra's screenshot, and then a couple replies later, here's

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:34.720
<v Speaker 2>why I might be getting involved in Obviously not the NFL,

0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:38.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't have money like that, but with a sports

0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:43.919
<v Speaker 2>ownership group. Might be being connected by dear friend. Again,

0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:46.560
<v Speaker 2>I want to be a little cagey about it, but

0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:52.040
<v Speaker 2>you saw that I got that response this morning. Now

0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:54.959
<v Speaker 2>I sent the initial inquiry. I looked, I think October

0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:57.400
<v Speaker 2>thirty first, but it's a busy man. I was reaching

0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:01.200
<v Speaker 2>out too. I got the response this morning to it

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:04.040
<v Speaker 2>doesn't matter. On the peloton working out is like I

0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:09.120
<v Speaker 2>can connect you with the people, So that'd be that

0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:11.760
<v Speaker 2>would be pretty sick, right, So we'll talk more about that.

0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:15.040
<v Speaker 2>I apologize. I know that's annoying for the audience, but

0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:19.320
<v Speaker 2>it'll hopefully there'll be a cool payoff in like six months.

0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:21.560
<v Speaker 2>We can play this cli and be like, hey, remember

0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:23.040
<v Speaker 2>that thing I was talking about, Well, this is what

0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:27.960
<v Speaker 2>it was. Also, Xavier Legett is getting shamed for eating raccoons. Listen,

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:35.680
<v Speaker 2>Xavier leget is country and I'm not country. However, especially

0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:38.920
<v Speaker 2>on your side of the family, Demons, there's a lot

0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:44.440
<v Speaker 2>of country and so the so I don't I I

0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 2>don't think that is what'd you say?

0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:50.040
<v Speaker 3>I said, I'm pretty sure I've had raccoon before. Like, way,

0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:54.640
<v Speaker 3>wait you think so? Unless Grandaddy was lying to me,

0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 3>but well he.

0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:58.040
<v Speaker 2>Might have been lying to you. I don't know, but dies,

0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:04.040
<v Speaker 2>but certainly your bloodline has like there's like that. We

0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:07.120
<v Speaker 2>don't have to go far into the generational background possible.

0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:10.040
<v Speaker 2>I think it's right. I think it's on the board.

0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:16.560
<v Speaker 2>I maybe your mother, certainly your grandparents, and so I mean, listen,

0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:20.960
<v Speaker 2>if you're southern per like the Southern country folks, you're

0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:24.360
<v Speaker 2>gonna eat. You know, Shannon talks about this all the time, like, so,

0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:27.719
<v Speaker 2>I actually don't find that as odd as other people

0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:31.320
<v Speaker 2>find it. And Aaron Rodgers some stupid alien thing. I

0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:33.880
<v Speaker 2>don't really care about it. All right, let's get to

0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:37.280
<v Speaker 2>the shocking news. And before we even get to it,

0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:42.680
<v Speaker 2>I want to shout out Ali Connolly and Inside Carolina

0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:48.960
<v Speaker 2>dot Com, who had this story nuts to Bolts days

0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:53.160
<v Speaker 2>ahead of everyone. And I was a little annoyed yesterday

0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:56.120
<v Speaker 2>because they had it a week ago that it was happening.

0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 2>They had it yesterday early in the day that it

0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:04.040
<v Speaker 2>was oli two days ago, had you know, about the

0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:07.800
<v Speaker 2>Bible and all of this, And then Schefter and Chris

0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:11.279
<v Speaker 2>Lowe kind of parachute in and are like, oh, breaking news,

0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:15.360
<v Speaker 2>things done. And I was like, these guys, these guys

0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:18.680
<v Speaker 2>beat everyone on this story. And credit to them for

0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:22.520
<v Speaker 2>beating everyone on this story. All right. The only reason

0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:25.120
<v Speaker 2>I even really know who Ali Connelly is is we

0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:28.039
<v Speaker 2>were asked last week about podcasts I listened to, and

0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:32.320
<v Speaker 2>I said NFL Daily with Greg Rosenthal. Ali Connolly, who

0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:36.240
<v Speaker 2>I think is a British dude, has co hosted that

0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:38.560
<v Speaker 2>show with Greg before, so I knew who he was.

0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:41.279
<v Speaker 2>But regardless, all right, go ahead and give us the

0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:42.920
<v Speaker 2>news and then we'll discuss.

0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:46.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so Belichick's head to you n C. I'm not

0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:49.000
<v Speaker 3>going to take the bait on that. But do you

0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:51.960
<v Speaker 3>think that there's any case where this turns out to

0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:52.760
<v Speaker 3>be a good move?

0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:58.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Yeah, I mean I think that if he gets

0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:01.400
<v Speaker 2>to North Carolina the college football player, it greatly enhances

0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:04.880
<v Speaker 2>his legacy. And I think that's on the board the

0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:10.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean this year, two teams from the ACC made

0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:16.960
<v Speaker 2>the College Football Playoff in Clemson and SMU. And so

0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:23.599
<v Speaker 2>college football's change now where it's no longer like championship

0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:29.360
<v Speaker 2>or bust. It's really or BCS Bowl or bust. It's like, hey,

0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:34.839
<v Speaker 2>can I make the twelve team playoff? Like Colorado had

0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:40.440
<v Speaker 2>an awesome year, but had they made the playoff, it

0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:44.040
<v Speaker 2>would have felt like they won a championship. That would

0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:49.640
<v Speaker 2>have been their championship really, and so I think Belichick

0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:52.279
<v Speaker 2>probably looked at what Prime did at Colorado and was

0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:56.160
<v Speaker 2>like that was the worst team in college football, the worst,

0:06:57.120 --> 0:07:00.640
<v Speaker 2>and he got him playoff adjacent in two years. North

0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:03.560
<v Speaker 2>Carolina won six games this year, they had the number

0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:06.280
<v Speaker 2>three pick of the draft year like they had Drake

0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:09.680
<v Speaker 2>May went there, like, so they're not a blue blood

0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:12.160
<v Speaker 2>football program, like they're a basketball program, but they're not

0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:16.760
<v Speaker 2>the dregs. They're not Rutgers when Schiano took over. So

0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:21.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it's a guaranteed disaster. I do think

0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:27.400
<v Speaker 2>this Seth Wickersham article, and Seth is great, that involves

0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:33.920
<v Speaker 2>massive spin zone from Belichick's people is ludicrous, So people

0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:37.840
<v Speaker 2>should check out Seth Wickersham's article where he quotes a

0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:41.600
<v Speaker 2>source close to Bill Belichick, who, again, this is rude

0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:43.680
<v Speaker 2>of me, but I don't really care, and I used

0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:46.520
<v Speaker 2>to actually do a podcast with this guy ages ago.

0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:49.880
<v Speaker 2>But I would bet any amount of money that's sourced

0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:52.880
<v Speaker 2>close to Bill Belichick is Michael Lombardi, who's never met

0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:55.640
<v Speaker 2>a microphone he doesn't like and is now gonna be

0:07:55.640 --> 0:08:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Belichick's GM at North Carolina. The sore close said that

0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:05.600
<v Speaker 2>Bill is quote disgusted with what the NFL had become,

0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:10.040
<v Speaker 2>and this is a big f you to the NFL. Okay,

0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:14.080
<v Speaker 2>now we have to be honest and fair about what

0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:21.720
<v Speaker 2>actually transpired here, and what transpired here is Belichick, after

0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:24.720
<v Speaker 2>being left out in the cold for a hiring cycle,

0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:31.880
<v Speaker 2>appears to have done the old high school maybe even

0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:37.160
<v Speaker 2>junior high move, which is, hey, did you hear Sarah's

0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:39.440
<v Speaker 2>gonna break up with you at lunch? And then you

0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:41.400
<v Speaker 2>go find her in third period, like I break up

0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:44.280
<v Speaker 2>with you. Oh no, no, no, I'm gonna move like that,

0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:46.200
<v Speaker 2>like you didn't break up with me. I broke up

0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:48.319
<v Speaker 2>with you. It's like no, but I was going no, no, no,

0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:50.680
<v Speaker 2>I broke up with you. I'm dumbing you, I'm leaving.

0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:54.959
<v Speaker 2>I don't like you. I think Bill Belichick had on

0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:59.959
<v Speaker 2>pretty good authority. The NFL was gonna pass on him again,

0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:04.800
<v Speaker 2>and by the way, I think that's a mistake. I

0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:08.000
<v Speaker 2>think there are teams out there that would have done

0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:12.840
<v Speaker 2>well to hire Bill Belichick. I don't think that he's

0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:15.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't think every If I were the Bears, I

0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:17.959
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't hire Belichick because I want a coach who can

0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:21.400
<v Speaker 2>grow with Caleb for a decade, you know. So it's

0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:24.960
<v Speaker 2>not a perfect fit everywhere, but if I were the Cowboys,

0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:28.320
<v Speaker 2>I'd hire Belichick. They you know, a team that's already

0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:32.240
<v Speaker 2>built that you know, has the quarterback in place, like

0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:36.120
<v Speaker 2>so there are I think it's a mistake that no

0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:39.720
<v Speaker 2>team wanted him, But I think it's very clear no

0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:43.520
<v Speaker 2>team wanted him, and if any team wanted him, they

0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:50.000
<v Speaker 2>only wanted him just as the coach. And no matter

0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:54.960
<v Speaker 2>what Bill said and that those Falcons interviews, I he

0:09:55.160 --> 0:10:01.839
<v Speaker 2>clearly is prioritizing being the czar of everything. And at

0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:04.640
<v Speaker 2>North Carolina he's going to get to and he's just

0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:07.880
<v Speaker 2>getting the band back together. He's bringing Mike Lombardi back.

0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:11.720
<v Speaker 2>I assume Josh McDaniels could be involved, and he is

0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:15.320
<v Speaker 2>going to be the grand Puba of all things football.

0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:19.720
<v Speaker 2>And that's that's what's gonna happen here. And so it

0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:26.760
<v Speaker 2>is a stunning and shocking turn of events. In that

0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:33.880
<v Speaker 2>last year, we were discussing demons. Should the Eagles fire

0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:37.200
<v Speaker 2>Sirianni just to be able to hire Belichick? And the

0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:42.560
<v Speaker 2>Eagles were discussing that. Ownership was discussing that, and the

0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:47.880
<v Speaker 2>we talked about if the Bills collapsed, should they fire

0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:51.400
<v Speaker 2>Sean McDermott in order to be hired in order to

0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:56.000
<v Speaker 2>hire Bill Belichick, and now he is taking the North

0:10:56.080 --> 0:11:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Carolina job in order to I think, make sure he

0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:08.160
<v Speaker 2>has a landing spot. One other piece on this before

0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:11.320
<v Speaker 2>we get to the blackballing stuff. I know they just

0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:13.480
<v Speaker 2>erased it, but I actually want you to ask me

0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:17.800
<v Speaker 2>about that. But before we get to that, the idea that,

0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:23.080
<v Speaker 2>oh Belichick always wanted to go back to college, folks,

0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:27.440
<v Speaker 2>if he always wanted to go back to college, Alabama

0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:31.480
<v Speaker 2>was open a year ago, his good friend Nick Saban

0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:35.679
<v Speaker 2>was leaving. They didn't have a succession in place. That's

0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:38.760
<v Speaker 2>why they went and got Calen de boor the idea

0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:43.720
<v Speaker 2>that he wouldn't have just decided, Okay, I'm going to

0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:46.120
<v Speaker 2>go to college and I'll just take over for my

0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:50.559
<v Speaker 2>buddy Nick Saban. I think that's I think that's foolishness.

0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:53.240
<v Speaker 2>But go ahead and ask me about the blackballing is

0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:54.960
<v Speaker 2>too strong, but about that and we'll.

0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:57.360
<v Speaker 3>Get Yeah, you said that the NFL, but I consider

0:11:57.480 --> 0:12:00.760
<v Speaker 3>not giving Belichick a job again. But like, there's gonna

0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:03.880
<v Speaker 3>be teams like the Giants, the Giants, the Raiders and

0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:06.679
<v Speaker 3>obviously owned by Tom Brady. Why do you think that

0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:08.520
<v Speaker 3>he would not be able to get a job with you.

0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:12.920
<v Speaker 2>So I so I think that I really do wonder

0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:19.280
<v Speaker 2>how much poison was spit in other owner's ears by

0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:24.400
<v Speaker 2>Robert Craft, and I think that really damaged Bill. We

0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:28.880
<v Speaker 2>know that Bill interviewed for one job last year, the

0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:33.240
<v Speaker 2>Falcons job, and it would appear from the reporting I've

0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:36.040
<v Speaker 2>read that Robert Craft kind of went out of his

0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:40.280
<v Speaker 2>way to screw him on that that Robert Craft twice

0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:45.280
<v Speaker 2>talked to Oh, what's the Falcons owner's name? Dude who

0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:50.760
<v Speaker 2>owns Arthur Blank? Arthur twice talked to Arthur Blank and

0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:56.320
<v Speaker 2>did not give rave reviews. Sidebar shout out Arthur Blank

0:12:56.440 --> 0:13:00.840
<v Speaker 2>origin story when home Depot was first opening, in order

0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:03.720
<v Speaker 2>to get customers are their Blanks stood in the parking

0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:08.360
<v Speaker 2>lot with tons and tons of one dollar bills and

0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:10.800
<v Speaker 2>would tell people, I'll give you a dollar if you

0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:12.960
<v Speaker 2>just walk in my store just to see what it's like.

0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:15.520
<v Speaker 2>I like those stories. That guy's like, I got a

0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:17.840
<v Speaker 2>good product I gotta get I gotta get asses in

0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:20.640
<v Speaker 2>the door. I'll just hand you. I'll just give you money.

0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:24.839
<v Speaker 2>I have like I always in my brain, I separate

0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:29.640
<v Speaker 2>owners into two groups. Built a business, got rich and

0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:34.920
<v Speaker 2>inherited team from Dad, and I always assume like different

0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:40.040
<v Speaker 2>levels of sophistication based on that. So like Robert Kraft

0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:43.240
<v Speaker 2>built a business good for him. And again the guys

0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:46.160
<v Speaker 2>who inherit, you know, inherited team from Dad, they might

0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:50.320
<v Speaker 2>be sharp as well, but I don't assume it. Shod

0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:54.120
<v Speaker 2>CON's origin story is one of my favorite. Shod Con

0:13:54.480 --> 0:14:01.280
<v Speaker 2>worked for a company. No shod Con. Shot Con worked

0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:04.920
<v Speaker 2>for a company that made bumpers like things on your

0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:09.480
<v Speaker 2>car and went to the boss was like, hey, better

0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:11.880
<v Speaker 2>way to do this. I figured it out on my

0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:15.560
<v Speaker 2>own time, and the boss was like, shut up, get

0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:19.200
<v Speaker 2>back to work. So he quit, started his own bumper

0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:21.440
<v Speaker 2>company with his own idea, and now he makes all

0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:23.640
<v Speaker 2>the bumpers like if you got if you have like

0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:26.440
<v Speaker 2>a Toyota or Honda or something that his shotgun does it.

0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:29.200
<v Speaker 2>So I'm like, oh, that's super cool. So like, uh

0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:32.200
<v Speaker 2>all right, now back to Sorry that was a sidebar.

0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:38.720
<v Speaker 2>I just find it interesting. The So I do wonder

0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:43.560
<v Speaker 2>how much Craft hurt Belichick in this, because Craft, clearly

0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:49.000
<v Speaker 2>we know from that Patriots doc Angry with Bill Kraft

0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:54.880
<v Speaker 2>thinks pretty clearly that on the Patriot Dynasty movie poster,

0:14:55.600 --> 0:15:00.480
<v Speaker 2>Tom Brady is the first name listed, but the second

0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:04.000
<v Speaker 2>is his and not Bills that Robert Kraft and I

0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:09.680
<v Speaker 2>don't buy that at all. Uh. And so I Bill

0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:12.480
<v Speaker 2>was going to it would appear get shut out of

0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:17.840
<v Speaker 2>this coaching search. So why the Giants thing? I think

0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:24.440
<v Speaker 2>he's nervous that the Giants might not be making a

0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:29.280
<v Speaker 2>head coaching change, and if they do, that is pardon me,

0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:36.800
<v Speaker 2>full on rebuild like from the Studs the Raiders thing.

0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:43.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't you know, I don't know that he was

0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:47.880
<v Speaker 2>confident Tom would say let's hire him, or maybe it

0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:49.600
<v Speaker 2>was that he didn't want to work for Tom, or

0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:51.360
<v Speaker 2>maybe I don't I don't know. I don't know. There

0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:53.960
<v Speaker 2>that's an odd dynamic that I don't really even want

0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:58.800
<v Speaker 2>to speculate on. Also, it should be noted right that'd

0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:03.080
<v Speaker 2>be brutal. That be brutal. And again I don't know

0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:09.920
<v Speaker 2>their relationship, but if it's at all in question, could

0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:12.400
<v Speaker 2>you imagine like you were this guy's if you're Belichick,

0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:14.880
<v Speaker 2>you were Brady's boss for twenty years and then he

0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:17.160
<v Speaker 2>gets to interview you and kind of rake you over

0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:20.000
<v Speaker 2>the coals and then be like ah, denied, Like I mean,

0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:23.360
<v Speaker 2>that doesn't sound pleasant and so. And also, by the way,

0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:27.040
<v Speaker 2>he should be noted Tom owns five percent of the Raiders,

0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:31.440
<v Speaker 2>So I maybe the Raiders are like, hey, you know,

0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:34.040
<v Speaker 2>give us all the input you have. And maybe the

0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:36.760
<v Speaker 2>Raiders are like, okay, we'll take your suggestion. But he

0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:40.680
<v Speaker 2>obviously doesn't have full control unless they just want him

0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:43.440
<v Speaker 2>to have it. So it might just be Al Davis's kid,

0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:47.520
<v Speaker 2>Mark Davis, you know who's making that decision. And maybe

0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:49.240
<v Speaker 2>and by the way, maybe the Raiders are gonna keep

0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:53.040
<v Speaker 2>Antonio Pierce, Like I'm pre firing Antonio Pearce in my head,

0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:56.760
<v Speaker 2>but he could keep the job. So Bill clearly didn't

0:16:56.760 --> 0:17:00.920
<v Speaker 2>think he was getting a job. And I think that

0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:05.480
<v Speaker 2>is I think that's really really fascinating. All right, let's

0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:06.600
<v Speaker 2>go to some of these follow ups.

0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:10.399
<v Speaker 3>Demanse Uh, So you were saying that Andy Reid comes

0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:14.600
<v Speaker 3>out a winner and all this howl. So is he

0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:16.240
<v Speaker 3>just running himself into the ground.

0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:21.119
<v Speaker 2>No, I mean, I Andy Reid's gonna end up with

0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:26.600
<v Speaker 2>the wins record. So the wins record right now, Shula

0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:30.520
<v Speaker 2>is at three forty seven, Belichick's at three point thirty

0:17:30.600 --> 0:17:36.359
<v Speaker 2>three and never moving past that, Like that's locked, that's done.

0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:41.879
<v Speaker 2>Andy's at two ninety six and that's playoffs and regular

0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:48.320
<v Speaker 2>season combined, so he'll be at around three hundred at

0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:51.560
<v Speaker 2>the end of this year. Is he gonna coach at

0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:52.840
<v Speaker 2>least three more years?

0:17:52.920 --> 0:17:53.080
<v Speaker 3>Will?

0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:55.359
<v Speaker 2>He just signed a five year, one hundred million dollar

0:17:55.520 --> 0:18:02.480
<v Speaker 2>new deal. He averages fifteen combined win year as since

0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:07.280
<v Speaker 2>Mahomes has been there. So he'll run Belichick down in

0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:09.720
<v Speaker 2>a little over maybe just two years or a little

0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:13.000
<v Speaker 2>over two years. And he could run Shula down in

0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:18.400
<v Speaker 2>a little over three years. And when we're talking greatest

0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:24.719
<v Speaker 2>coach of all time, Shula currently has two things really

0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:32.320
<v Speaker 2>in his favor, more wins undefeated season. Andy, I think,

0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:36.600
<v Speaker 2>is going to have in his favor the most wins

0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:42.479
<v Speaker 2>ever and first ever three peat. Right, Belichick's gonna have

0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:46.600
<v Speaker 2>in his favor the six rings, which could be tough

0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:49.240
<v Speaker 2>for Andy to catch. But Andy after this year might

0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:52.040
<v Speaker 2>be at four with a three peat. And it's just

0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:54.600
<v Speaker 2>the point that I was trying to make on TV

0:18:55.119 --> 0:19:01.160
<v Speaker 2>was this. I think that right now, if you were

0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:05.280
<v Speaker 2>to ask family feud style one hundred NFL fans, who's

0:19:05.359 --> 0:19:10.080
<v Speaker 2>the greatest football NFL coach ever? I think Bill Belichick

0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:14.160
<v Speaker 2>gets more than ninety of the votes. I think it's

0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:19.640
<v Speaker 2>almost a unanimously held opinion. But if Andy runs him

0:19:19.680 --> 0:19:23.760
<v Speaker 2>down and wins and or pulls off the three peat,

0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:31.919
<v Speaker 2>and then you do have the dichotomy of Bill eleven

0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:42.080
<v Speaker 2>seasons without Tom Brady, eight losing seasons. Andy, like what,

0:19:42.400 --> 0:19:46.640
<v Speaker 2>I think it's fifteen seasons, No way more than that,

0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:53.600
<v Speaker 2>sixteen seventeen seasons without Patrick, three losing seasons, a Super

0:19:53.600 --> 0:19:58.160
<v Speaker 2>Bowl appearance, what had a double digit win season one

0:19:58.240 --> 0:20:04.119
<v Speaker 2>a division with four different quarterbacks. It starts to at

0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:09.119
<v Speaker 2>least become a discussion. So that's the Andy Reid piece

0:20:09.119 --> 0:20:11.840
<v Speaker 2>of it. So all right, let's keep going with these

0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:12.840
<v Speaker 2>other go ahead.

0:20:13.040 --> 0:20:15.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So you had said something about Belichick having the

0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:18.560
<v Speaker 3>potential to have that Dion Colorado type of effect on

0:20:18.600 --> 0:20:24.000
<v Speaker 3>the team. But obviously Belichick is much cooler. He came

0:20:24.040 --> 0:20:26.679
<v Speaker 3>in with his kids. I don't think he's Oh, do

0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:29.440
<v Speaker 3>you think he's gonna Dion's much? Do you think Belichick

0:20:29.520 --> 0:20:31.720
<v Speaker 3>is going to be as attractive as an attractive pool

0:20:31.800 --> 0:20:33.119
<v Speaker 3>to like other seventeen year olds.

0:20:34.200 --> 0:20:37.040
<v Speaker 2>So not in the same way. And again it might

0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:43.439
<v Speaker 2>not work at all, But I do think that I

0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:46.479
<v Speaker 2>don't want to close the door to the possibility that

0:20:46.600 --> 0:20:52.600
<v Speaker 2>a very certain personality, type of young person, especially someone

0:20:52.640 --> 0:20:58.440
<v Speaker 2>that is laser focused on making the NFL, might find

0:20:58.480 --> 0:21:02.200
<v Speaker 2>Belichick super attractive. And I think that's what they're gonna sell.

0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:04.920
<v Speaker 2>I think what they're gonna sell is we are going

0:21:04.960 --> 0:21:10.240
<v Speaker 2>to prepare you for professional football. Now hard at hard

0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:17.359
<v Speaker 2>nosed coaching. It's very very tough to swallow if you

0:21:17.560 --> 0:21:20.440
<v Speaker 2>can't also sell. And at the end of the year,

0:21:20.480 --> 0:21:23.439
<v Speaker 2>we get to have a parade and we win the

0:21:23.720 --> 0:21:26.479
<v Speaker 2>you know, so like in New England, everyone knew who

0:21:26.520 --> 0:21:28.520
<v Speaker 2>was gonna be hard. Everyone knew it wasn't a ton

0:21:28.520 --> 0:21:32.400
<v Speaker 2>of fun, but they did the most winning. Saving at Alabama,

0:21:32.840 --> 0:21:35.919
<v Speaker 2>everyone knew who was gonna be hard. Everyone knew that

0:21:36.240 --> 0:21:37.960
<v Speaker 2>he was a you know, kind of a pain in

0:21:38.000 --> 0:21:43.040
<v Speaker 2>the ass, but they did the most winning. If you

0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:47.120
<v Speaker 2>and c is seven and five, that's a tougher sell.

0:21:47.200 --> 0:21:50.879
<v Speaker 2>Now you might say Dion was able to sustain, you know,

0:21:50.960 --> 0:21:53.359
<v Speaker 2>not a great first year at Colorado at all. I

0:21:53.359 --> 0:21:55.840
<v Speaker 2>think people look at Colorado as this is gonna be

0:21:56.080 --> 0:21:59.720
<v Speaker 2>insanely fun. We're we're you know what I mean, We're

0:21:59.760 --> 0:22:03.200
<v Speaker 2>having a party where celebrities were also working hard and

0:22:03.440 --> 0:22:07.479
<v Speaker 2>the other here's the other thing, and I have massive

0:22:07.520 --> 0:22:13.480
<v Speaker 2>respect for what Dion's done, but what supercharged the Colorado

0:22:13.560 --> 0:22:17.960
<v Speaker 2>rebuild was that Dion's son is the best quarterback in

0:22:18.000 --> 0:22:21.719
<v Speaker 2>college football and that Travis Hunter came with him, the

0:22:21.720 --> 0:22:25.600
<v Speaker 2>best player in college football, like Belichick's son is going

0:22:25.640 --> 0:22:29.119
<v Speaker 2>to be a coordinator on the team, not playing quarterback.

0:22:29.400 --> 0:22:34.560
<v Speaker 2>So that is like, you know, that's a Colorado I

0:22:34.640 --> 0:22:37.639
<v Speaker 2>believe in what Dion's done, and I undersold what they

0:22:37.640 --> 0:22:39.679
<v Speaker 2>were going to be able to do this year, but

0:22:39.800 --> 0:22:42.680
<v Speaker 2>it would have been a much more gradual build if

0:22:42.720 --> 0:22:50.080
<v Speaker 2>Shador wasn't this superstar player. All right, Oh, this next question.

0:22:49.920 --> 0:22:53.240
<v Speaker 3>Is an interest, So yeah, the three peats matter and

0:22:53.359 --> 0:22:55.080
<v Speaker 3>overall greatness.

0:22:55.320 --> 0:23:00.320
<v Speaker 2>In guys just trying to make this uh a Michael

0:23:00.400 --> 0:23:03.320
<v Speaker 2>Jordan Lebron thing is the reason they put that in.

0:23:04.000 --> 0:23:07.280
<v Speaker 2>But there is doing something no one's ever done in

0:23:07.320 --> 0:23:10.600
<v Speaker 2>the history of the sport matters. So like nobody's ever

0:23:10.840 --> 0:23:12.879
<v Speaker 2>done a three peet in the NFL. And I'm not

0:23:13.000 --> 0:23:16.520
<v Speaker 2>taking the bait David Jordan Lebron debate here. I am

0:23:16.600 --> 0:23:21.359
<v Speaker 2>interested in the bell the question above that demons in

0:23:21.400 --> 0:23:24.000
<v Speaker 2>the rundown that they just highlighted that one I think

0:23:24.080 --> 0:23:24.920
<v Speaker 2>is fascinating.

0:23:25.800 --> 0:23:30.040
<v Speaker 3>Any chance Belichick could pull Jets resignation two point oh

0:23:30.119 --> 0:23:32.040
<v Speaker 3>move if the Giants offered him a job.

0:23:33.960 --> 0:23:38.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that would be so unbelievable. I can't put

0:23:38.160 --> 0:23:41.560
<v Speaker 2>it at zero, but I will put it very very

0:23:41.560 --> 0:23:44.760
<v Speaker 2>close to zero. So you don't you're not familiar with

0:23:44.800 --> 0:23:50.720
<v Speaker 2>what they're referencing. So Bill, here was Bill Belichick's coaching history,

0:23:51.160 --> 0:23:55.600
<v Speaker 2>because if you go to Bill Belichick's Wikipedia page, I

0:23:55.640 --> 0:23:58.640
<v Speaker 2>think it will have listed head coach of the New

0:23:58.720 --> 0:24:03.840
<v Speaker 2>York Jets. But you'll be like, wait, he was, and

0:24:03.880 --> 0:24:08.760
<v Speaker 2>the answer is not really. So Bill Belichick was with

0:24:08.880 --> 0:24:13.920
<v Speaker 2>Bill Parcells with the Giants, won a couple Super Bowls,

0:24:13.960 --> 0:24:16.919
<v Speaker 2>designed a game plan that shut down one of the

0:24:16.920 --> 0:24:21.639
<v Speaker 2>greatest offenses ever the Buffalo Bills, and then in the

0:24:21.680 --> 0:24:24.600
<v Speaker 2>Super Bowl, and then went on to be the Browns

0:24:24.680 --> 0:24:28.560
<v Speaker 2>head coach. Okay, after he left the Browns to be

0:24:28.600 --> 0:24:32.840
<v Speaker 2>the head coach, he got back with Parcells in New England,

0:24:33.119 --> 0:24:37.080
<v Speaker 2>which is where Parcells was for one year. Parcells then

0:24:37.200 --> 0:24:41.520
<v Speaker 2>left New England to be the head coach of the Jets. Okay,

0:24:43.960 --> 0:24:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Parcells then resigns from the Jets. They named Bill Belichick

0:24:50.080 --> 0:24:56.160
<v Speaker 2>the head coach, and Belichick when he's on his way

0:24:56.200 --> 0:25:01.359
<v Speaker 2>into the introductory press conference for him to be the

0:25:01.400 --> 0:25:05.480
<v Speaker 2>head coach of the Jets, writes down on a napkin,

0:25:06.880 --> 0:25:09.720
<v Speaker 2>I Bill Belichick hereby resign as head coach of the

0:25:09.720 --> 0:25:13.000
<v Speaker 2>New York Jets, and at the introductory press conference says,

0:25:13.600 --> 0:25:16.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm actually quitting and winning to New England to become

0:25:16.800 --> 0:25:20.840
<v Speaker 2>their head coach, their rival. That's how it happened. So

0:25:20.960 --> 0:25:26.040
<v Speaker 2>that's so the it's one of the most unbelievable videos

0:25:26.080 --> 0:25:29.280
<v Speaker 2>you'll ever see him at the press conference, and the

0:25:29.320 --> 0:25:34.960
<v Speaker 2>reporters like what and so the so, because that's in

0:25:35.040 --> 0:25:37.919
<v Speaker 2>the repertoire. And keep in mind when he did that

0:25:37.960 --> 0:25:41.840
<v Speaker 2>demands he was not this legend Bill Belichick. He had

0:25:41.840 --> 0:25:45.240
<v Speaker 2>been a one time fired head coach, and he.

0:25:45.400 --> 0:25:47.399
<v Speaker 3>Just believed he could do it.

0:25:47.400 --> 0:25:51.160
<v Speaker 2>It's legendary. And then he went to their rival, New England,

0:25:51.800 --> 0:25:54.119
<v Speaker 2>and then, you know, a year and a few games

0:25:54.119 --> 0:25:57.719
<v Speaker 2>into his tenure there, Drew Bloodsoe gets hurt. Tom Brady

0:25:57.760 --> 0:26:01.720
<v Speaker 2>comes in and the rest is NFL history. But now, yeah,

0:26:02.040 --> 0:26:04.640
<v Speaker 2>now he's gonna run the show at North Carolina. All Right,

0:26:04.720 --> 0:26:08.159
<v Speaker 2>I think that covers all the Belichick stuff. We'll probably

0:26:08.200 --> 0:26:10.119
<v Speaker 2>we'll talk more about it with me Jeanie on the

0:26:10.119 --> 0:26:14.320
<v Speaker 2>show today. Manginie and I honestly should feel a little

0:26:14.359 --> 0:26:19.119
<v Speaker 2>snubbed because eight years ago there was a little listen

0:26:19.240 --> 0:26:25.200
<v Speaker 2>to three person podcast called the Make Me Smarter NFL

0:26:25.320 --> 0:26:31.520
<v Speaker 2>Podcast and it was me, Eric, Manginie, and Michael Lombardi.

0:26:32.040 --> 0:26:34.760
<v Speaker 2>And Michael Lombardi now gets to be the GM of

0:26:34.800 --> 0:26:37.920
<v Speaker 2>North Carolina football and Eric and I don't as much

0:26:37.920 --> 0:26:41.120
<v Speaker 2>get a phone call today. I can't be your your

0:26:41.240 --> 0:26:45.720
<v Speaker 2>nil CAF expert. You don't call Eric to CEV wants

0:26:45.760 --> 0:26:48.520
<v Speaker 2>to run the defense. I mean kind of shitty if

0:26:48.520 --> 0:26:51.720
<v Speaker 2>you ask me. But whatever, all right, let's talk some

0:26:52.000 --> 0:26:53.679
<v Speaker 2>Let's talk some of the games this weekend.

0:26:54.720 --> 0:26:57.200
<v Speaker 3>So, yeah, we've seen late season had to have matchups

0:26:57.240 --> 0:26:59.359
<v Speaker 3>have a heavy thing to do with the MVP award.

0:27:00.240 --> 0:27:03.880
<v Speaker 3>Last year was Lamar Jackson. He took Perty and McCaffrey

0:27:03.880 --> 0:27:05.679
<v Speaker 3>out of their running with that win late in the season.

0:27:06.560 --> 0:27:09.160
<v Speaker 3>So a similar situation is coming up with Golf and Allen.

0:27:09.640 --> 0:27:11.600
<v Speaker 3>So if you think that you know Golf and the

0:27:11.920 --> 0:27:13.680
<v Speaker 3>Lions will win the game, wouldn't it be smart to

0:27:14.160 --> 0:27:17.879
<v Speaker 3>bet Golf at MVP. His odds are at plus one thousand.

0:27:19.080 --> 0:27:23.040
<v Speaker 2>So this is a point I've been trying to make

0:27:23.280 --> 0:27:25.480
<v Speaker 2>for the last two weeks, and I've been making it

0:27:25.560 --> 0:27:29.439
<v Speaker 2>while holding, you know, two plastic tiny hands on television,

0:27:29.520 --> 0:27:34.760
<v Speaker 2>so understandably people have kind of missed it. But I

0:27:34.800 --> 0:27:38.560
<v Speaker 2>think Jared Goff is super live for MVP for this

0:27:38.720 --> 0:27:42.440
<v Speaker 2>exact reason that I thought Allan was going to lose

0:27:42.480 --> 0:27:45.200
<v Speaker 2>to the Rams, and I think they're going to lose

0:27:45.240 --> 0:27:48.600
<v Speaker 2>to the Lions and have all So, Allan's had some

0:27:48.680 --> 0:27:55.399
<v Speaker 2>record breaking performances, but his overall numbers are not like

0:27:55.680 --> 0:27:59.119
<v Speaker 2>unbelievable the way Lamar's are or Joe Burrows are. To

0:27:59.160 --> 0:28:02.480
<v Speaker 2>be honest, it's more of like he's been the story

0:28:02.520 --> 0:28:05.680
<v Speaker 2>of the season, but it's hard to be the story

0:28:05.720 --> 0:28:07.959
<v Speaker 2>of the season if the Bills end up being the

0:28:08.040 --> 0:28:13.280
<v Speaker 2>three seed in the AFC, behind the Chiefs and the Steelers. Meanwhile,

0:28:13.800 --> 0:28:17.320
<v Speaker 2>the Lions just keep winning, and now we're gonna get

0:28:17.320 --> 0:28:22.080
<v Speaker 2>a game with Nanson Romo on the call in Detroit,

0:28:22.800 --> 0:28:27.040
<v Speaker 2>where if Detroit wins and Goff's numbers have been great

0:28:27.520 --> 0:28:30.960
<v Speaker 2>and they get to thirteen and one, I think people

0:28:31.000 --> 0:28:34.080
<v Speaker 2>are gonna be like, hey, why aren't we giving Jared

0:28:34.160 --> 0:28:38.640
<v Speaker 2>Goff more MVP love. So I listen, I don't think

0:28:38.720 --> 0:28:41.560
<v Speaker 2>Jared Goff's the MVP of that team. I think he's

0:28:41.600 --> 0:28:44.080
<v Speaker 2>played really well, but I think we get a little

0:28:44.120 --> 0:28:46.760
<v Speaker 2>too fascinated by the quarterbacks. Like the running game, the

0:28:46.800 --> 0:28:51.120
<v Speaker 2>offensive lines the MVP of the team, but the I

0:28:51.200 --> 0:28:57.640
<v Speaker 2>absolutely think narratively demanse Golf takes a huge leap this weekend,

0:28:58.200 --> 0:29:01.520
<v Speaker 2>and I think Josh if he loses too in a row,

0:29:02.000 --> 0:29:05.840
<v Speaker 2>even though he was awesome obviously in the game against

0:29:05.840 --> 0:29:10.000
<v Speaker 2>the Rams, the quarterbacks wins, folks are going to start

0:29:10.280 --> 0:29:11.680
<v Speaker 2>to poke at his case.

0:29:12.200 --> 0:29:15.320
<v Speaker 3>And so that's that's where if Josh Allen wins, so

0:29:15.520 --> 0:29:18.280
<v Speaker 3>the winner of this game, you're basically saying it's probably

0:29:18.320 --> 0:29:18.800
<v Speaker 3>an MVP.

0:29:20.000 --> 0:29:24.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, I don't want to dismiss Saquan, but the other

0:29:24.400 --> 0:29:28.840
<v Speaker 2>side is correct. If Josh wins this game and it's like, Okay,

0:29:29.040 --> 0:29:31.840
<v Speaker 2>they lost to the Rams, but they scored forty two points,

0:29:32.040 --> 0:29:34.440
<v Speaker 2>they then go beat a Lions team that hasn't lost

0:29:34.520 --> 0:29:37.720
<v Speaker 2>since Week two on the longest winning streak in the league,

0:29:38.080 --> 0:29:42.840
<v Speaker 2>it would put Josh in great, great MVP position. That

0:29:42.840 --> 0:29:45.200
<v Speaker 2>that part is definitively true. All right, let's get to

0:29:45.240 --> 0:29:45.760
<v Speaker 2>the next game.

0:29:46.720 --> 0:29:49.360
<v Speaker 3>So, yeah, last year you're riding on the Eagles high

0:29:49.640 --> 0:29:51.080
<v Speaker 3>and so they all fell apart at the end of

0:29:51.120 --> 0:29:53.640
<v Speaker 3>the season there and now it seems that there are

0:29:53.680 --> 0:29:56.959
<v Speaker 3>some things going on inside of the locker room. Do

0:29:57.000 --> 0:29:59.600
<v Speaker 3>you think that a lost by your Eagles to the

0:29:59.800 --> 0:30:03.360
<v Speaker 3>to the Steelers this weekend will put you in dire straits?

0:30:03.760 --> 0:30:08.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, I don't know that they can. I don't know

0:30:08.400 --> 0:30:16.600
<v Speaker 2>that they have the organizational leadership to sustain a bad

0:30:16.640 --> 0:30:22.040
<v Speaker 2>game this weekend. I think that they have. They would

0:30:22.120 --> 0:30:26.800
<v Speaker 2>have if they didn't set a fire then poor Kerosene

0:30:26.840 --> 0:30:30.760
<v Speaker 2>on it then add other stuff to it to make

0:30:30.800 --> 0:30:35.280
<v Speaker 2>it just an inferno. And now you've got Kellen Moore

0:30:36.360 --> 0:30:39.360
<v Speaker 2>the OC having a press conference just telling the world, yes,

0:30:39.800 --> 0:30:42.600
<v Speaker 2>we are going to try to get aj Brown more involved.

0:30:42.640 --> 0:30:46.800
<v Speaker 2>That is a high priority. Like, guys, your running back

0:30:46.960 --> 0:30:49.720
<v Speaker 2>Mike is the other guy who can win MVP. You

0:30:49.800 --> 0:30:53.640
<v Speaker 2>started one and two, you're now eleven and two. Nothing's

0:30:53.720 --> 0:31:00.280
<v Speaker 2>wrong and now big picture. Bamani tweeted this and he

0:31:00.320 --> 0:31:04.280
<v Speaker 2>was right, and it sounded mean, and I don't think

0:31:04.280 --> 0:31:08.040
<v Speaker 2>Demands is gonna like it, which is why I said

0:31:08.880 --> 0:31:12.520
<v Speaker 2>why I'm putting it on Bomani as the tweeter because

0:31:13.200 --> 0:31:18.800
<v Speaker 2>he well, he was, which is ultimately every team Jalen

0:31:18.840 --> 0:31:22.880
<v Speaker 2>Hurts has ever been on since Channelview High School has

0:31:22.920 --> 0:31:26.600
<v Speaker 2>found itself limited by his passing. And that's just true.

0:31:27.240 --> 0:31:31.120
<v Speaker 2>It's why Alabama went to TUA of Oklahoma got the

0:31:31.160 --> 0:31:32.760
<v Speaker 2>most out of him, but it was part of the

0:31:32.760 --> 0:31:36.120
<v Speaker 2>reason they got rocked by LSU in the playoff. And

0:31:36.160 --> 0:31:39.680
<v Speaker 2>Philly finds itself there right now. Jalen Hurts is a

0:31:39.760 --> 0:31:44.560
<v Speaker 2>really good player whose biggest weakness as a player is

0:31:44.560 --> 0:31:50.120
<v Speaker 2>his pure passing ability, and it's frustrating his receivers. But

0:31:50.280 --> 0:31:55.280
<v Speaker 2>the receivers, I feel, made a massive error by not

0:31:55.400 --> 0:31:59.200
<v Speaker 2>letting that stay in house. And Brandon Graham made an

0:31:59.320 --> 0:32:02.080
<v Speaker 2>error by making it clear also by the way, yeah,

0:32:02.200 --> 0:32:05.280
<v Speaker 2>Jalen and Brandon, I'm sorry, Jalen and aj don't get

0:32:05.320 --> 0:32:08.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, they're not friends anymore, like huh? And that

0:32:08.880 --> 0:32:12.440
<v Speaker 2>also shed light on so what did happen to Philly

0:32:12.480 --> 0:32:13.880
<v Speaker 2>at the end of last year? Oh?

0:32:14.040 --> 0:32:14.440
<v Speaker 3>Was it? That?

0:32:15.560 --> 0:32:18.360
<v Speaker 2>Was it? That the best player on your offense and

0:32:18.400 --> 0:32:21.800
<v Speaker 2>the quarterback who had been super tight worn anymore? So?

0:32:22.000 --> 0:32:26.560
<v Speaker 2>I just I think the Eagles defense has improved enough.

0:32:26.840 --> 0:32:29.840
<v Speaker 2>Saquan's playing well enough, they have a great offensive line,

0:32:29.880 --> 0:32:33.400
<v Speaker 2>they have so many components of an awesome team. They

0:32:33.520 --> 0:32:37.120
<v Speaker 2>should be able to sustain this, especially against the Steelers

0:32:37.160 --> 0:32:39.960
<v Speaker 2>team that isn't gonna have George Pickens this weekend. But

0:32:40.080 --> 0:32:43.120
<v Speaker 2>I'd be nervous if I were a Philly fan.

0:32:43.480 --> 0:32:48.719
<v Speaker 3>There's no the least problematic guy on the team except

0:32:48.760 --> 0:32:49.080
<v Speaker 3>for this.

0:32:49.720 --> 0:32:54.000
<v Speaker 2>It's Sirianni's job to to premit sometuthing like this from happening.

0:32:54.840 --> 0:32:59.120
<v Speaker 2>Howie Roseman picks the players, Vic Fangio calls the defense,

0:32:59.200 --> 0:33:03.240
<v Speaker 2>Kellen Moore calls the offense. Sirianni's job is game management,

0:33:03.360 --> 0:33:06.959
<v Speaker 2>not great and vibes not great. So I mean, like,

0:33:07.600 --> 0:33:09.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that just is the truth of it. All right,

0:33:09.720 --> 0:33:11.120
<v Speaker 2>let's go to the next one.

0:33:11.240 --> 0:33:13.280
<v Speaker 3>All right. So we talked about the Rams a bunch

0:33:13.320 --> 0:33:15.600
<v Speaker 3>on Tuesday, so we're gonna focus on the forty nine

0:33:15.680 --> 0:33:18.440
<v Speaker 3>ers here. So at the beginning of the season, everybody

0:33:18.480 --> 0:33:19.840
<v Speaker 3>was saying, you know, the forty nine Ers are supposed

0:33:19.880 --> 0:33:21.880
<v Speaker 3>to come out of the the NFC on top that

0:33:21.960 --> 0:33:23.560
<v Speaker 3>one seedon but if they.

0:33:23.520 --> 0:33:26.320
<v Speaker 2>Live, the favorite to win the Super Bowl, favorite over

0:33:26.400 --> 0:33:28.360
<v Speaker 2>the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl the beginning of the.

0:33:28.400 --> 0:33:31.080
<v Speaker 3>Year, Yeah, So I mean, if they lose tonight, the

0:33:31.120 --> 0:33:34.120
<v Speaker 3>season's probably over, but we don't talk about them like

0:33:34.120 --> 0:33:36.680
<v Speaker 3>we talk about the Jets, the Cowboys and the Bengals.

0:33:36.800 --> 0:33:37.920
<v Speaker 3>Why is that? Yep?

0:33:38.640 --> 0:33:42.400
<v Speaker 2>So it's an interesting Now. The Jets are almost a

0:33:42.480 --> 0:33:47.120
<v Speaker 2>different story because it's been so cartoonish and they only

0:33:47.160 --> 0:33:51.040
<v Speaker 2>have three wins and they just keep blowing games, and

0:33:51.200 --> 0:33:56.800
<v Speaker 2>Roger like, that's been just a disaster. I think people

0:33:57.040 --> 0:34:00.280
<v Speaker 2>want to give the forty nine ers a pass because

0:34:00.280 --> 0:34:05.640
<v Speaker 2>of the injuries. Uh, and so I look at I

0:34:05.680 --> 0:34:11.600
<v Speaker 2>look at those four teams all differently. So let's just

0:34:11.680 --> 0:34:14.040
<v Speaker 2>deal with the meat before we get to the gambling show.

0:34:14.600 --> 0:34:19.400
<v Speaker 2>The Jets were never going to be this contender people

0:34:19.440 --> 0:34:23.279
<v Speaker 2>thought they were going to be. They had a bad

0:34:23.400 --> 0:34:31.759
<v Speaker 2>coaching situation, an aging enigmatic to use the Netflix word, quarterback,

0:34:32.520 --> 0:34:38.239
<v Speaker 2>overrated talent on offense, a mediocre offensive line. So there's

0:34:38.520 --> 0:34:41.319
<v Speaker 2>the Jets. They shouldn't be three and ten, but they

0:34:41.320 --> 0:34:43.440
<v Speaker 2>were never going to be ten and three. Set them aside.

0:34:44.320 --> 0:34:48.760
<v Speaker 2>The Cowboys. You saw the writing on the wall coming

0:34:48.800 --> 0:34:52.759
<v Speaker 2>this offseason when they didn't. Now, not to this level,

0:34:52.760 --> 0:34:54.600
<v Speaker 2>and I picked them to win the division, So I

0:34:54.680 --> 0:34:56.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, I got it wrong. But now when we

0:34:56.960 --> 0:34:59.279
<v Speaker 2>look back, it's like Oh, they said they were all in.

0:34:59.320 --> 0:35:02.160
<v Speaker 2>They didn't do any and free agency they let all

0:35:02.200 --> 0:35:07.080
<v Speaker 2>these contract situations drag out. Then the quarterback tears his hamstring,

0:35:07.480 --> 0:35:10.600
<v Speaker 2>and it's like, oh, okay, Micah got hurt and missed time,

0:35:10.719 --> 0:35:14.640
<v Speaker 2>DeMarcus Lawrence missed a ton of time. Quarterback tears his hamstring.

0:35:14.719 --> 0:35:20.960
<v Speaker 2>That's how it happens the Bengals, It's very very clear

0:35:21.040 --> 0:35:26.160
<v Speaker 2>what's going on there. Oh, the defense is just unplayably,

0:35:26.400 --> 0:35:31.520
<v Speaker 2>unwinnably bad, and we normally want to put it on

0:35:31.600 --> 0:35:35.560
<v Speaker 2>the stars, the quarterback or whomever. But the quarterback's playing great,

0:35:35.680 --> 0:35:39.680
<v Speaker 2>Jamar's playing great, and the defense just keeps blowing games

0:35:39.680 --> 0:35:44.560
<v Speaker 2>for them. Now. The Bengals, to me, is as disappointing

0:35:44.600 --> 0:35:48.560
<v Speaker 2>as any team in the league because this is likely

0:35:48.680 --> 0:35:54.160
<v Speaker 2>your last year with Chase and Higgins. Burrows bounced back

0:35:54.160 --> 0:35:57.560
<v Speaker 2>from the wrist injury and been unbelievable, and you're gonna

0:35:57.560 --> 0:36:01.000
<v Speaker 2>miss the playoffs. The Niners, it's just been like a

0:36:01.280 --> 0:36:06.919
<v Speaker 2>slow bleed. They're like Harvey Kite Tellent, not Harvey Kite

0:36:06.920 --> 0:36:10.799
<v Speaker 2>tell the guy. Harvey Kite tell is uh is trying

0:36:10.840 --> 0:36:15.200
<v Speaker 2>to make feel better in boon, not boom. Gosh darn it.

0:36:15.200 --> 0:36:17.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna get this whole thing wrong in Boondocks? Is

0:36:17.680 --> 0:36:21.160
<v Speaker 2>it boon Dock Saints? What's the movie? It's not Boondock Saints?

0:36:21.719 --> 0:36:25.319
<v Speaker 2>What the great? Hold on? Hold on? I'm gonna there's

0:36:25.320 --> 0:36:30.280
<v Speaker 2>gonna bother me. What's the amazing Quentin Tarantino movie? Uh?

0:36:30.320 --> 0:36:34.759
<v Speaker 2>Where Harvey Kye? Tell? Uh no? No dogs? Hold on

0:36:35.239 --> 0:36:40.000
<v Speaker 2>the Reservoir Dogs? Thank you? The the Irish guy in

0:36:40.080 --> 0:36:43.640
<v Speaker 2>Reservoir Dogs. Who's just who's actually the undercover cop? Who

0:36:43.640 --> 0:36:46.840
<v Speaker 2>the whole movie is just slowly bleeding to death? That's

0:36:46.880 --> 0:36:53.719
<v Speaker 2>the Niners this season. It's like just a slow dramatic death. Uh.

0:36:53.760 --> 0:36:58.760
<v Speaker 2>And there's at any given moment it's like, oh, could

0:36:58.760 --> 0:37:02.000
<v Speaker 2>they be all right in the answer is no, And

0:37:02.239 --> 0:37:06.200
<v Speaker 2>you can't be like, oh, well, Purdy just totally went

0:37:06.280 --> 0:37:11.520
<v Speaker 2>pumpkin mode. Perty's been fine. He hasn't been good or great,

0:37:11.640 --> 0:37:14.879
<v Speaker 2>but he hasn't been bad. He's been fine. And at

0:37:14.960 --> 0:37:17.919
<v Speaker 2>various times you're like, oh, they'll be okay they lose

0:37:17.960 --> 0:37:20.600
<v Speaker 2>to the Chiefs. When they win their next two, and

0:37:20.640 --> 0:37:23.399
<v Speaker 2>then that three game losing streak that they just went

0:37:23.440 --> 0:37:26.480
<v Speaker 2>through getting rolled by the Packers and the Bills, you're like, oh,

0:37:26.520 --> 0:37:30.319
<v Speaker 2>their season's over. But then they crush the Bears, and

0:37:31.239 --> 0:37:34.320
<v Speaker 2>because they're only six and seven and they're not four

0:37:34.320 --> 0:37:37.120
<v Speaker 2>and nine or five and eight, they feel more alive

0:37:37.200 --> 0:37:40.279
<v Speaker 2>than they actually are. The other reason the Niners, in

0:37:40.320 --> 0:37:43.200
<v Speaker 2>my opinion, you are getting something of a pass is

0:37:43.360 --> 0:37:47.560
<v Speaker 2>nineteen twenty twenty one, twenty two, twenty three. Those five

0:37:47.640 --> 0:37:50.440
<v Speaker 2>years when four of the five years you're in the

0:37:50.440 --> 0:37:53.399
<v Speaker 2>conference championship game, two of the five years you lose

0:37:53.440 --> 0:37:56.239
<v Speaker 2>a Super Bowl to a dynasty, It's like, Okay, you

0:37:56.280 --> 0:38:00.480
<v Speaker 2>were due for a down year. The reason this down

0:38:00.600 --> 0:38:04.600
<v Speaker 2>years devastating for them is they're about to have to

0:38:04.600 --> 0:38:07.600
<v Speaker 2>go into a bit of a reboot. You gonna it

0:38:07.680 --> 0:38:10.479
<v Speaker 2>seems like they're gonna pay party. I wouldn't. They're going

0:38:10.520 --> 0:38:15.359
<v Speaker 2>to Kittle is awesome, but getting older. Trent Williams is

0:38:15.440 --> 0:38:19.560
<v Speaker 2>banged up, and old Deebo is unhappy and not as good.

0:38:19.640 --> 0:38:23.080
<v Speaker 2>Auk blew out his knee. McCaffrey, it's a lost season.

0:38:23.120 --> 0:38:25.360
<v Speaker 2>He's old for a running back, and it's like, Oh,

0:38:25.600 --> 0:38:29.720
<v Speaker 2>this team's gonna look way, you know, so much more different.

0:38:30.920 --> 0:38:33.799
<v Speaker 2>Uh next season. So I don't know. So I don't

0:38:33.800 --> 0:38:36.919
<v Speaker 2>know if that's the answer, but that's my diagnosis, Go ahead, demanse.

0:38:36.840 --> 0:38:38.839
<v Speaker 3>On the Bengals, Why is no, I don't know if

0:38:38.840 --> 0:38:41.960
<v Speaker 3>we've talked on it at all. Why is that nobody

0:38:41.960 --> 0:38:46.799
<v Speaker 3>calling for the decoordinator's job. Well, everybody's blaming on.

0:38:48.400 --> 0:38:51.239
<v Speaker 2>No. I mean the real reason is because that guy

0:38:51.320 --> 0:38:58.560
<v Speaker 2>had earned so much credit for overachieving defensively with them.

0:38:59.000 --> 0:39:04.279
<v Speaker 2>And like, I know, people get annoyed with me saying this,

0:39:04.760 --> 0:39:11.640
<v Speaker 2>but everyone associated with the Bengals has gotten more credit

0:39:12.800 --> 0:39:17.560
<v Speaker 2>for beating the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game. Then

0:39:17.600 --> 0:39:22.560
<v Speaker 2>the Rams crew got for two weeks later beating the

0:39:22.600 --> 0:39:27.719
<v Speaker 2>Bengals in the Super Bowl. And when you that lou

0:39:27.760 --> 0:39:32.840
<v Speaker 2>An Arumo, the decordinator there beat Mahomes and you know,

0:39:32.960 --> 0:39:36.520
<v Speaker 2>kind of tricked him into the worst half of football

0:39:36.560 --> 0:39:39.279
<v Speaker 2>of his entire career. Then the next year in the

0:39:39.280 --> 0:39:43.440
<v Speaker 2>AFC Championship Game had the Chiefs on the ropes again.

0:39:44.120 --> 0:39:46.919
<v Speaker 2>And even this year, it's like, oh man, like they

0:39:47.160 --> 0:39:51.279
<v Speaker 2>gave the Chiefs trouble. So because of that they have

0:39:51.360 --> 0:39:55.319
<v Speaker 2>earned so much credit and equity. But yeah, in any

0:39:55.360 --> 0:39:58.160
<v Speaker 2>other spot, the decordinator wouldn't have made it through the year.

0:39:58.719 --> 0:40:01.080
<v Speaker 2>And I think there there's a good chance they bring

0:40:01.200 --> 0:40:06.920
<v Speaker 2>him back next year. But it is a fascinating like

0:40:07.719 --> 0:40:14.040
<v Speaker 2>that twenty twenty one playoff run of in three straight

0:40:14.160 --> 0:40:20.800
<v Speaker 2>weeks of Bill's Chiefs thirteen second game, then Chiefs Bengals

0:40:20.880 --> 0:40:26.560
<v Speaker 2>AFC Championship Game, then Rams Bengals Super Bowl. If we

0:40:26.680 --> 0:40:33.800
<v Speaker 2>are discussing like legend and credit and who earned the

0:40:33.920 --> 0:40:41.240
<v Speaker 2>most that playoff run, honestly, it would go the biggest

0:40:41.320 --> 0:40:45.520
<v Speaker 2>winner was Josh Allen and the way we looked at

0:40:45.600 --> 0:40:49.239
<v Speaker 2>him after that because of how amazing he was in

0:40:49.360 --> 0:40:53.200
<v Speaker 2>that game and them almost beating the Chiefs. The second

0:40:53.640 --> 0:40:57.480
<v Speaker 2>biggest winner was Joe Burrow and the Bengals for actually

0:40:57.560 --> 0:41:01.319
<v Speaker 2>beating the Chiefs, and the bronze battlest was then Matt

0:41:01.360 --> 0:41:04.640
<v Speaker 2>Stafford and the Rams who won the Super Bowl. Like

0:41:04.840 --> 0:41:08.120
<v Speaker 2>and so it's just like, yeah, of course it should be.

0:41:08.840 --> 0:41:12.280
<v Speaker 2>And so it's just like a it's a really facet

0:41:12.440 --> 0:41:17.040
<v Speaker 2>but it is because and again people get annoyed with

0:41:17.200 --> 0:41:23.239
<v Speaker 2>me saying this because I'm a Chiefs fan, But the

0:41:24.480 --> 0:41:28.120
<v Speaker 2>all of the NFL storylines right now, just like during

0:41:28.200 --> 0:41:33.000
<v Speaker 2>the Patriots run, they rotate on the axis of Kansas City,

0:41:34.160 --> 0:41:39.200
<v Speaker 2>meaning can you beat the Chiefs in the playoffs? Have

0:41:39.520 --> 0:41:43.040
<v Speaker 2>you you know, how do you play against the Chiefs regularly?

0:41:43.840 --> 0:41:47.600
<v Speaker 2>Your quarterback is having this type of year? Is but yeah,

0:41:47.760 --> 0:41:49.880
<v Speaker 2>is he can he be as good as Mahomes like?

0:41:50.040 --> 0:41:54.480
<v Speaker 2>All the NFL storylines rotate around the Chiefs, which is

0:41:54.520 --> 0:41:57.360
<v Speaker 2>what happens when you're the team in the midst of

0:41:57.440 --> 0:42:02.239
<v Speaker 2>a dynasty. All right, right, hot gambling show, we give

0:42:02.280 --> 0:42:09.680
<v Speaker 2>you our picks. Next, what's up? Welcome back in What's

0:42:09.800 --> 0:42:13.200
<v Speaker 2>right with ni? Great time Now for the week fifteen? Ah,

0:42:13.320 --> 0:42:17.600
<v Speaker 2>that almost makes you sad. Gambling show. Last week another

0:42:17.760 --> 0:42:20.120
<v Speaker 2>week in the Green we can show you the picks.

0:42:20.719 --> 0:42:25.160
<v Speaker 2>Green Bay getting three and a half at Detroit. They cover.

0:42:25.280 --> 0:42:27.360
<v Speaker 2>They don't win, but they cover on Thursday night. But

0:42:27.440 --> 0:42:30.839
<v Speaker 2>that's why that half point matters. The Giants getting four

0:42:30.880 --> 0:42:33.440
<v Speaker 2>and a half against New Orleans. They don't win, but

0:42:33.640 --> 0:42:36.160
<v Speaker 2>they cover. I told you guys, that was too many points.

0:42:36.440 --> 0:42:39.680
<v Speaker 2>They lose fourteen eleven in that game, have a field

0:42:39.719 --> 0:42:41.839
<v Speaker 2>goal blocked at the end. What's up doing today?

0:42:42.520 --> 0:42:46.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh? Yeah, no, I thought I heard something. I misheard it.

0:42:46.560 --> 0:42:47.840
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, sorry that that happened.

0:42:48.000 --> 0:42:52.440
<v Speaker 2>No, No, you're good, do worry it. The I was

0:42:52.680 --> 0:42:58.920
<v Speaker 2>nervous watching Giants Saints because I'm like, oh no, if

0:42:59.000 --> 0:43:01.719
<v Speaker 2>the Giants make the field goal, we can go to

0:43:01.840 --> 0:43:04.279
<v Speaker 2>overtime and lose by six. But they're the Giants, so

0:43:04.360 --> 0:43:07.600
<v Speaker 2>they get it blocked. Tennessee minus three and a half

0:43:07.600 --> 0:43:13.160
<v Speaker 2>against Jacksonville. That was a shameful loss by the Titans.

0:43:13.760 --> 0:43:18.200
<v Speaker 2>They're up three to nothing, have third and goal from

0:43:18.400 --> 0:43:24.040
<v Speaker 2>inside the one, up three nothing, playing the Jags third

0:43:24.080 --> 0:43:28.120
<v Speaker 2>and goal inside the run, they go pass, pass, and

0:43:28.239 --> 0:43:32.840
<v Speaker 2>it's just awful and so and then late in the

0:43:32.960 --> 0:43:36.799
<v Speaker 2>game when they had a chance to steal the win,

0:43:36.880 --> 0:43:40.440
<v Speaker 2>I still wouldn't have covered. They just Calvin Ridley just

0:43:40.600 --> 0:43:44.759
<v Speaker 2>runs out of bounds on third and five instead of

0:43:44.800 --> 0:43:47.600
<v Speaker 2>getting the first down. They lose. The Rams plus four

0:43:47.640 --> 0:43:50.520
<v Speaker 2>and a half against Buffalo, never a doubt there. They

0:43:50.560 --> 0:43:53.720
<v Speaker 2>were covering basically the entire game. And the Chiefs minus

0:43:53.760 --> 0:43:56.200
<v Speaker 2>three and a half against the Chargers tough one, up

0:43:56.360 --> 0:43:59.080
<v Speaker 2>thirteen to nothing, and then they go and Andy Reid's

0:43:59.080 --> 0:44:01.680
<v Speaker 2>shutdown mode and end up needing a field goal at

0:44:01.719 --> 0:44:03.279
<v Speaker 2>the end to win. So I don't get my cover,

0:44:03.520 --> 0:44:08.400
<v Speaker 2>but three and two, and of course anytime touchdown Genie Cash,

0:44:08.520 --> 0:44:11.680
<v Speaker 2>Josh Jacobs minus one point fifty me and Danny gave

0:44:11.760 --> 0:44:14.279
<v Speaker 2>that to you, all right, first game of the week

0:44:14.640 --> 0:44:16.719
<v Speaker 2>is the Thursday night game.

0:44:16.800 --> 0:44:20.319
<v Speaker 3>Go ahead, you got the Rams plus three at San Francisco.

0:44:22.040 --> 0:44:27.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so this I think the Rams are on a

0:44:27.360 --> 0:44:32.160
<v Speaker 2>mission right now and recognize they control their own playoff destiny.

0:44:32.760 --> 0:44:37.040
<v Speaker 2>When they're rolling, they are as dangerous as any team

0:44:37.080 --> 0:44:42.200
<v Speaker 2>in that conference. The Niners are not nearly as good

0:44:43.440 --> 0:44:47.279
<v Speaker 2>as they looked last week. They also are not going

0:44:47.360 --> 0:44:51.280
<v Speaker 2>to have Trent Williams again this week, so that's a problem.

0:44:52.239 --> 0:44:55.959
<v Speaker 2>They're not gonna have another offensive lineman, Ben BArch that's

0:44:56.040 --> 0:44:59.560
<v Speaker 2>a problem. They're not gonna have their safety Mustafa, who's

0:44:59.600 --> 0:45:02.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, the guy who plays One of the reasons

0:45:02.400 --> 0:45:06.400
<v Speaker 2>we've seen so much Rams because Hufanga's out. It has

0:45:06.520 --> 0:45:09.840
<v Speaker 2>been out. They might they probably all have Bosa, but

0:45:09.960 --> 0:45:13.120
<v Speaker 2>they might not have Bosa. Their third string running back

0:45:13.160 --> 0:45:17.920
<v Speaker 2>isaat Grendo, they might not have him. Meanwhile, the Rams,

0:45:18.320 --> 0:45:20.640
<v Speaker 2>the only guys who are we know are not playing

0:45:20.760 --> 0:45:23.839
<v Speaker 2>or Kobe Durant and Tyler Higbee. It's a short week.

0:45:24.239 --> 0:45:28.480
<v Speaker 2>They're the better team. They need the game. I'm getting points.

0:45:28.640 --> 0:45:31.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't mind the LA to San Francisco travel, So

0:45:31.840 --> 0:45:35.000
<v Speaker 2>I like the Rams plus three. Brock Perties only covered

0:45:35.120 --> 0:45:38.520
<v Speaker 2>one of his last eight games against teams over five

0:45:38.640 --> 0:45:40.959
<v Speaker 2>hundred and so I like the Rams in this spot.

0:45:41.040 --> 0:45:42.799
<v Speaker 2>Your thoughts, Demanse, I.

0:45:42.880 --> 0:45:44.640
<v Speaker 3>Love that pick. I think the Rams are gonna get

0:45:44.680 --> 0:45:47.680
<v Speaker 3>him tonight. I think they're gonna get them.

0:45:47.880 --> 0:45:50.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean I might put a little bit on

0:45:50.239 --> 0:45:52.960
<v Speaker 2>the Rams on the money line, but I certainly like

0:45:53.080 --> 0:45:53.799
<v Speaker 2>him plus three.

0:45:53.920 --> 0:45:57.200
<v Speaker 3>All right, Next, you got Carolina minus two and a

0:45:57.280 --> 0:46:00.319
<v Speaker 3>half versus Dallas. Look at that, all right?

0:46:00.920 --> 0:46:06.080
<v Speaker 2>The first time Carolina's been a favorite in thirty four games.

0:46:07.080 --> 0:46:11.200
<v Speaker 2>It's the first time Bryce has been a favorite since Alabama.

0:46:14.880 --> 0:46:20.799
<v Speaker 2>I think last week's loss ended the Cowboys. I think

0:46:21.760 --> 0:46:26.680
<v Speaker 2>the way it de facto eliminated from the playoffs, even

0:46:26.680 --> 0:46:29.560
<v Speaker 2>though they were already really eliminated, they were it was like, well,

0:46:29.640 --> 0:46:32.680
<v Speaker 2>if we went out, we're alive. So I think that

0:46:33.160 --> 0:46:38.200
<v Speaker 2>kills them. I think that Overshawn injury is devastating emotionally

0:46:38.400 --> 0:46:41.839
<v Speaker 2>and actually because he's one of their best players. Obviously,

0:46:42.040 --> 0:46:51.080
<v Speaker 2>Micah did you know, struggled with that loss massively. Carolina,

0:46:51.560 --> 0:46:55.360
<v Speaker 2>on the other hand, after beating the Saints and the Giants,

0:46:56.040 --> 0:46:59.080
<v Speaker 2>played the Chiefs to a field goal at the gun,

0:46:59.760 --> 0:47:04.560
<v Speaker 2>play the Bucks to overtime, and played the Eagles as

0:47:04.640 --> 0:47:06.520
<v Speaker 2>close as you can play a team when you lose

0:47:06.600 --> 0:47:10.239
<v Speaker 2>by six, had a you know, a perfect play touchdown

0:47:10.960 --> 0:47:14.360
<v Speaker 2>to go up one with forty seconds left that was dropped.

0:47:14.800 --> 0:47:21.759
<v Speaker 2>Carolina feels great after their loss. Dallas feels devastated, and

0:47:22.360 --> 0:47:26.040
<v Speaker 2>I do wonder if the Cowboys pack it in a bit.

0:47:26.200 --> 0:47:29.000
<v Speaker 2>You then add to the fact that this is one

0:47:29.040 --> 0:47:33.160
<v Speaker 2>of the rare spots where if you're Carolina, you're like,

0:47:33.600 --> 0:47:38.360
<v Speaker 2>we definitively have the better quarterback in this game, and

0:47:38.640 --> 0:47:43.319
<v Speaker 2>so Vegas finally had to adjust. Carolina had covered five

0:47:43.440 --> 0:47:46.600
<v Speaker 2>straight and this line opened Carolina by one and a

0:47:46.680 --> 0:47:50.200
<v Speaker 2>half and has just moved in their favor. But I

0:47:50.320 --> 0:47:53.719
<v Speaker 2>think Carolina is gonna win. I obviously i'd like it

0:47:53.880 --> 0:47:55.799
<v Speaker 2>more at one and a half than two and a half,

0:47:55.880 --> 0:47:58.239
<v Speaker 2>and it might get up to three by kickoff. But

0:47:58.840 --> 0:48:02.360
<v Speaker 2>I think Dallas is for the season. I think Carolina

0:48:02.760 --> 0:48:04.960
<v Speaker 2>has been this close to winning and I think they

0:48:05.040 --> 0:48:07.880
<v Speaker 2>break through this week. I like Carolina minus the two

0:48:07.920 --> 0:48:11.279
<v Speaker 2>and a half. I think they're better than the Cowboys right.

0:48:11.200 --> 0:48:14.160
<v Speaker 3>Now, first time they've been favored in thirty four games.

0:48:14.200 --> 0:48:19.000
<v Speaker 3>Though I sketchy back now, but yeah, Cooper Rush is

0:48:19.080 --> 0:48:20.480
<v Speaker 3>not good, all right?

0:48:20.600 --> 0:48:23.759
<v Speaker 2>This one is gonna shock America.

0:48:26.960 --> 0:48:30.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so just a nasty game. You got the Jets

0:48:30.480 --> 0:48:32.160
<v Speaker 3>finus three at Jacksonville.

0:48:34.080 --> 0:48:40.640
<v Speaker 2>Betting on the Jets the first time in Rogers' tenure

0:48:41.360 --> 0:48:46.080
<v Speaker 2>that I'm taking the Jets in Knicks picks and I'm

0:48:46.239 --> 0:48:51.560
<v Speaker 2>laying points. And the reason for that is the Jags

0:48:51.680 --> 0:48:55.279
<v Speaker 2>right now, I know they won this past week. I

0:48:55.440 --> 0:48:58.480
<v Speaker 2>truly believe they're the worst team in the league. I

0:48:58.800 --> 0:49:01.919
<v Speaker 2>also think, as bad as right as I've been about

0:49:01.960 --> 0:49:08.960
<v Speaker 2>the Jets, they're not three and fourteen bad. They might

0:49:09.040 --> 0:49:12.440
<v Speaker 2>be five and twelve bad, but they're not three and

0:49:12.640 --> 0:49:15.440
<v Speaker 2>fourteen We might get the number two pick of the

0:49:15.560 --> 0:49:20.000
<v Speaker 2>draft bad. I don't think the Jets are going to

0:49:20.239 --> 0:49:24.040
<v Speaker 2>mail anything in because I think Aaron is still trying

0:49:24.120 --> 0:49:28.640
<v Speaker 2>to prove he deserves a job somewhere next year. So

0:49:29.320 --> 0:49:33.239
<v Speaker 2>the Jets had the Dolphins beat and found a way

0:49:33.320 --> 0:49:39.000
<v Speaker 2>to blow that game. I think the Jets actually get

0:49:39.040 --> 0:49:43.360
<v Speaker 2>a fairly easy victory this week so that I would

0:49:43.440 --> 0:49:45.960
<v Speaker 2>lay I'd lay four in this game if I had to.

0:49:47.120 --> 0:49:51.400
<v Speaker 2>I honestly think this is a twenty four to nine

0:49:52.400 --> 0:49:55.839
<v Speaker 2>type of victory for the New York Jets and they

0:49:56.000 --> 0:49:59.919
<v Speaker 2>break their God, what losing streak. Are they on six games,

0:50:00.080 --> 0:50:03.000
<v Speaker 2>seven game losing streak, whatever it is, it's mortifying. The

0:50:03.160 --> 0:50:05.960
<v Speaker 2>four game losing streak, pardon me, they were two and one,

0:50:06.440 --> 0:50:09.799
<v Speaker 2>so they've lost nine of ten and four in a row.

0:50:10.680 --> 0:50:14.239
<v Speaker 2>I think that the Jets they have too many. Garrett

0:50:14.360 --> 0:50:18.040
<v Speaker 2>Wilson's trying to prove he deserves a new contract. Aaron's

0:50:18.040 --> 0:50:20.400
<v Speaker 2>trying to prove he deserves this place in this league

0:50:20.480 --> 0:50:23.520
<v Speaker 2>next year. Jeff Ulbrich's trying to prove he at least

0:50:23.560 --> 0:50:26.440
<v Speaker 2>can be a decordinator somewhere again, because he's not gonna

0:50:26.440 --> 0:50:29.520
<v Speaker 2>be a head coach. The Jags, meanwhile, are playing out

0:50:29.600 --> 0:50:34.160
<v Speaker 2>the string with Mac Jones as the quarterback. I no

0:50:34.320 --> 0:50:36.440
<v Speaker 2>one has been more down on the Jets than me

0:50:36.640 --> 0:50:40.800
<v Speaker 2>this year. I'm three and one when I pick against

0:50:40.960 --> 0:50:45.000
<v Speaker 2>them in Knicks Picks. This is my first time picking

0:50:45.239 --> 0:50:48.359
<v Speaker 2>on them in Knicks Picks. I'll take the Jets minus three.

0:50:49.920 --> 0:50:52.600
<v Speaker 3>Yep. I can't say that I love it. I would

0:50:52.640 --> 0:50:54.080
<v Speaker 3>never bet on the Jets.

0:50:55.640 --> 0:50:58.680
<v Speaker 2>Listen, I would never bet on the Jets. Is a

0:50:58.840 --> 0:51:02.560
<v Speaker 2>winning gambling flow, I under but this is the rare

0:51:02.760 --> 0:51:04.400
<v Speaker 2>time that I'm going with it.

0:51:04.480 --> 0:51:07.520
<v Speaker 3>All right, Next, you've got Tampa Bay plus three at

0:51:07.560 --> 0:51:08.120
<v Speaker 3>the Chargers.

0:51:09.760 --> 0:51:13.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I just think that Tampa's better than the Chargers

0:51:15.200 --> 0:51:21.800
<v Speaker 2>and the Chargers this year, at some point they're gonna

0:51:21.880 --> 0:51:26.200
<v Speaker 2>have to beat a team that has a pulse. I

0:51:26.320 --> 0:51:29.760
<v Speaker 2>brought this up before, I'll bring it up again. Their

0:51:30.160 --> 0:51:34.080
<v Speaker 2>their best win to me was the Bengals win, but

0:51:34.200 --> 0:51:37.440
<v Speaker 2>we then saw the Cowboys almost beat the Bengals. They

0:51:37.560 --> 0:51:41.080
<v Speaker 2>did beat the Broncos, but that was early bo Knicks

0:51:41.120 --> 0:51:44.760
<v Speaker 2>when he was really struggling. There are other wins Raiders,

0:51:45.239 --> 0:51:50.680
<v Speaker 2>Panthers in Week two that got Bryce benched, Saints, Brown's, Titans, Falcons,

0:51:51.080 --> 0:51:54.640
<v Speaker 2>and the Falcons game they tried to lose. The Chargers

0:51:54.719 --> 0:51:58.320
<v Speaker 2>have not looked good the last three weeks. The Ravens

0:51:58.440 --> 0:52:02.120
<v Speaker 2>cracked them. They the Falcons gave that game away with

0:52:02.200 --> 0:52:05.279
<v Speaker 2>the four Kirk Cousins picks, and they obviously just lost

0:52:05.320 --> 0:52:08.960
<v Speaker 2>to the Chiefs. The Bucks, on the other hand, need

0:52:09.239 --> 0:52:12.920
<v Speaker 2>every game. They've won three in a row now. They

0:52:13.719 --> 0:52:17.480
<v Speaker 2>didn't look overly impressive in that Raider game, but that

0:52:17.719 --> 0:52:23.280
<v Speaker 2>Chargers offense right now is really struggling, and Tampa knows

0:52:23.880 --> 0:52:27.680
<v Speaker 2>if they can win this game. They then go Cowboys, Panther,

0:52:27.920 --> 0:52:30.440
<v Speaker 2>Saints to end the year and they're going to win

0:52:30.520 --> 0:52:34.520
<v Speaker 2>the division. They lose this game and Atlanta can retake

0:52:34.640 --> 0:52:38.160
<v Speaker 2>control of the division, so all of that is at

0:52:38.360 --> 0:52:42.520
<v Speaker 2>The Chargers, meanwhile, are in kind of an odd now

0:52:42.600 --> 0:52:45.479
<v Speaker 2>that they lost to the Chiefs and the pipe dream

0:52:45.560 --> 0:52:48.320
<v Speaker 2>of winning the division is over. They're in an odd

0:52:48.520 --> 0:52:54.160
<v Speaker 2>motivational space where they need to win one more game

0:52:54.280 --> 0:52:57.960
<v Speaker 2>the rest of the year to lock up a playoff spot.

0:52:58.560 --> 0:53:03.400
<v Speaker 2>And after the Bucks game it's Broncos then Patriots Raiders.

0:53:03.880 --> 0:53:09.279
<v Speaker 2>So the Chargers can't win the division, basically can't fall

0:53:09.360 --> 0:53:12.399
<v Speaker 2>out of the wild card. They just came off an

0:53:12.440 --> 0:53:16.759
<v Speaker 2>emotionally devastating defeat to Kansas City. I don't love how

0:53:16.800 --> 0:53:22.880
<v Speaker 2>they're playing. All the Chargers love playing close games, so

0:53:23.160 --> 0:53:26.759
<v Speaker 2>laying three points or getting three points is valuable to

0:53:26.840 --> 0:53:31.000
<v Speaker 2>me anyway. And I like how Baker's been playing, even

0:53:31.040 --> 0:53:33.520
<v Speaker 2>though he is turning the ball over all. Take Tampa

0:53:33.719 --> 0:53:37.080
<v Speaker 2>going east coast to West, which you know I don't love,

0:53:37.480 --> 0:53:41.520
<v Speaker 2>but going east coast to West Tampa getting three I

0:53:41.680 --> 0:53:44.200
<v Speaker 2>just think they can win. And three points is too

0:53:44.239 --> 0:53:45.520
<v Speaker 2>many points, all right?

0:53:45.640 --> 0:53:48.680
<v Speaker 3>Last year show you got Detroit minus two and a

0:53:48.760 --> 0:53:49.840
<v Speaker 3>half versus Buffalo.

0:53:51.160 --> 0:53:57.479
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean this this line should be four. Buffalo's listen,

0:53:57.520 --> 0:54:02.200
<v Speaker 2>Buffalo's excellent, but de Troit's better than Buffalo right now

0:54:03.280 --> 0:54:08.280
<v Speaker 2>and they're at home, so like if they are equivalent teams,

0:54:08.360 --> 0:54:13.560
<v Speaker 2>it's two and a half. And I think that Detroit

0:54:13.719 --> 0:54:16.200
<v Speaker 2>is going to be able to run the ball on Buffalo.

0:54:17.160 --> 0:54:22.480
<v Speaker 2>I also think that teams that have multiple quality receivers

0:54:23.160 --> 0:54:27.960
<v Speaker 2>can really punish the Bill's secondary. But against Detroit, you

0:54:28.320 --> 0:54:32.440
<v Speaker 2>have to you have to stop the run first and foremost.

0:54:32.960 --> 0:54:35.319
<v Speaker 2>So I think if they dedicate those guys to the run,

0:54:35.719 --> 0:54:37.880
<v Speaker 2>I think golf can cook a bit and if they

0:54:38.000 --> 0:54:40.920
<v Speaker 2>decide to play too high, they'll just run all over you.

0:54:42.040 --> 0:54:45.040
<v Speaker 2>And so I think Buffalo's really good. But I think

0:54:45.080 --> 0:54:49.040
<v Speaker 2>Detroit wins this game thirty to twenty four something like that.

0:54:49.840 --> 0:54:54.120
<v Speaker 2>And that, you know, there is also for me personally,

0:54:54.160 --> 0:54:57.279
<v Speaker 2>Buffalo losing this game is the ideal because then the

0:54:57.360 --> 0:55:00.319
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs all but lock up the one seed. But that's

0:55:00.400 --> 0:55:02.920
<v Speaker 2>a you know, so that's why I'm rooting for Detroit.

0:55:03.320 --> 0:55:06.719
<v Speaker 2>But I'm picking Detroit because I think that this line

0:55:06.760 --> 0:55:09.719
<v Speaker 2>should be three and a half instead of two and

0:55:09.800 --> 0:55:13.000
<v Speaker 2>a half. That obviously that three is the most key

0:55:13.120 --> 0:55:16.640
<v Speaker 2>number imaginable in this matchup, so I'll take Detroit minus

0:55:16.719 --> 0:55:18.319
<v Speaker 2>the two and a half. I think Golf plays really

0:55:18.400 --> 0:55:22.680
<v Speaker 2>well and gets himself firmly in the MVP top of

0:55:22.760 --> 0:55:28.040
<v Speaker 2>the MVP conversation. All right, so let's get to the

0:55:28.160 --> 0:55:31.480
<v Speaker 2>recap of the picks. My five picks this week, they're

0:55:31.600 --> 0:55:35.600
<v Speaker 2>all three or two and a half. The Rams catching

0:55:35.800 --> 0:55:39.360
<v Speaker 2>three tonight at San Francisco, Carolina, laying two and a

0:55:39.440 --> 0:55:43.360
<v Speaker 2>half at home against Dallas, the Jets laying three on

0:55:43.520 --> 0:55:47.480
<v Speaker 2>the road against Jacksonville, Tampa getting three at the Chargers,

0:55:47.840 --> 0:55:51.960
<v Speaker 2>and Detroit laying two and a half at home in

0:55:52.080 --> 0:55:53.560
<v Speaker 2>one of the games of the week, one of the

0:55:53.600 --> 0:55:59.640
<v Speaker 2>games of the year at home against Buffalo. All Right, Demons,

0:56:00.080 --> 0:56:04.440
<v Speaker 2>let's get to your teaser. Last week didn't.

0:56:04.160 --> 0:56:08.440
<v Speaker 3>Go for you. Not a good teaser. I'm sorry for

0:56:08.560 --> 0:56:11.680
<v Speaker 3>those that trailed me there. But I do think that

0:56:12.560 --> 0:56:15.040
<v Speaker 3>against I was talking to the producers, I think Caleb

0:56:15.080 --> 0:56:17.239
<v Speaker 3>Williams and that Bears team just I kind of look

0:56:17.239 --> 0:56:20.640
<v Speaker 3>at it as a as a rookie team, and if

0:56:20.640 --> 0:56:23.160
<v Speaker 3>they're playing anybody that has the potential to be an

0:56:23.239 --> 0:56:26.359
<v Speaker 3>actual team, I don't think ten points is they can

0:56:26.520 --> 0:56:29.160
<v Speaker 3>just get that need to be more exactly. That needed

0:56:29.160 --> 0:56:30.960
<v Speaker 3>to be more like fourteen. I mean, they lost by

0:56:31.000 --> 0:56:33.399
<v Speaker 3>more than fourteen, but that would have been I feel

0:56:33.480 --> 0:56:34.799
<v Speaker 3>like the smarter.

0:56:36.160 --> 0:56:39.440
<v Speaker 2>You have Carolina getting twenty. I mean that was they

0:56:39.640 --> 0:56:42.800
<v Speaker 2>damn near won the game. But then she, yeah, getting eleven.

0:56:43.200 --> 0:56:45.880
<v Speaker 2>So this week, I don't know what it is, but

0:56:45.960 --> 0:56:48.920
<v Speaker 2>you're going back to the three team, well three team.

0:56:48.800 --> 0:56:52.440
<v Speaker 3>Or yeah we're told, yeah, we're yeah, we're at plus

0:56:52.480 --> 0:56:54.879
<v Speaker 3>odds this week it's a three teams seven and a half.

0:56:55.120 --> 0:56:56.800
<v Speaker 3>I do love the seven and a half. I gotta

0:56:56.840 --> 0:57:03.200
<v Speaker 3>say Cleveland plus twelve versus Kansas City. We got Cincinnati

0:57:03.920 --> 0:57:07.880
<v Speaker 3>plus three at Tennessee, and we're teasing the Giants up

0:57:07.920 --> 0:57:10.839
<v Speaker 3>to twenty four against Baltimore. All right, the Giants, You're

0:57:10.880 --> 0:57:14.680
<v Speaker 3>an NFL team to twenty four point spread, Come on, guys.

0:57:15.440 --> 0:57:18.200
<v Speaker 3>And then Cincinnati obviously is playing for their life right now,

0:57:18.680 --> 0:57:21.280
<v Speaker 3>and it's the Titans and the Chiefs don't beat anybody

0:57:21.360 --> 0:57:25.480
<v Speaker 3>by more than four to five points. So that's I'm

0:57:25.520 --> 0:57:28.240
<v Speaker 3>feeling good. And honestly, I did think about Kansas City,

0:57:28.400 --> 0:57:31.400
<v Speaker 3>like with the state that they're in right now, it's

0:57:32.040 --> 0:57:33.560
<v Speaker 3>you know, I don't want to say that they're taking

0:57:33.560 --> 0:57:35.280
<v Speaker 3>their foot off the gas. But what if you know,

0:57:35.400 --> 0:57:37.520
<v Speaker 3>what if something what if something weird happens, and this

0:57:37.640 --> 0:57:40.120
<v Speaker 3>is the time that they you know, they blow somebody

0:57:40.200 --> 0:57:43.440
<v Speaker 3>out in like a I don't know, but it's Cleveland.

0:57:43.440 --> 0:57:46.000
<v Speaker 3>I trust. I trust Cleveland to cover a twelve point

0:57:46.040 --> 0:57:48.360
<v Speaker 3>spread against the Chiefs. I trust anybody to cover a

0:57:48.400 --> 0:57:49.600
<v Speaker 3>twelve point spread against the Chiefs.

0:57:50.680 --> 0:57:55.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I don't mind the part of it. Yeah, I

0:57:55.760 --> 0:57:58.240
<v Speaker 2>gotta tell you, I hate every other piece.

0:57:58.000 --> 0:58:02.439
<v Speaker 3>Of this, every other piece. I really Bengals plus three

0:58:02.520 --> 0:58:03.440
<v Speaker 3>against the Titans.

0:58:03.680 --> 0:58:08.800
<v Speaker 2>All right, so you have been twenty four, not crossing zero.

0:58:09.080 --> 0:58:13.160
<v Speaker 2>That's first of all, so you you were unable to

0:58:13.280 --> 0:58:17.480
<v Speaker 2>do that with Cincinnati, and Cincinnati's defense like they're they're

0:58:17.640 --> 0:58:20.480
<v Speaker 2>liable to lose to anybody. I understand what you're saying.

0:58:21.160 --> 0:58:24.240
<v Speaker 2>I get it, but I don't love it. And then

0:58:24.360 --> 0:58:25.520
<v Speaker 2>the Giants, I.

0:58:27.000 --> 0:58:30.240
<v Speaker 3>I, you're covering the int you start off with twenty

0:58:30.280 --> 0:58:30.800
<v Speaker 3>four points.

0:58:31.440 --> 0:58:37.200
<v Speaker 2>Now, I understand what the Ravens. The Ravens twice again,

0:58:37.240 --> 0:58:40.480
<v Speaker 2>they're pissed, they're coming off of Bye, they're angry, and

0:58:40.560 --> 0:58:45.240
<v Speaker 2>the Giants are hilariously bad like the and the Ravens

0:58:45.360 --> 0:58:49.240
<v Speaker 2>twice this year have beaten teams by more than twenty four,

0:58:49.360 --> 0:58:52.720
<v Speaker 2>and it was the bill shot in the Broncos Like,

0:58:52.920 --> 0:58:54.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't like this one.

0:58:55.160 --> 0:58:58.960
<v Speaker 3>I don't the Giant. The Giants just covered for the

0:58:59.080 --> 0:59:00.880
<v Speaker 3>lad I don't know who they are. Last week the

0:59:00.960 --> 0:59:02.720
<v Speaker 3>Giants has covered for me. I think there were plus

0:59:02.840 --> 0:59:03.439
<v Speaker 3>four and a half.

0:59:04.840 --> 0:59:09.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah against against the Saints. Yeah, I had that bad

0:59:09.320 --> 0:59:13.120
<v Speaker 2>to you. I understand that, but yes I did. Playing

0:59:13.640 --> 0:59:21.800
<v Speaker 2>Darren Rizzy and the Saints. I listen the greade I'm getting, Okay,

0:59:21.880 --> 0:59:25.680
<v Speaker 2>I hope you win. I hope you win, but I

0:59:25.840 --> 0:59:28.400
<v Speaker 2>don't With the Chiefs game, you're not getting the key

0:59:28.520 --> 0:59:31.360
<v Speaker 2>numbers sends it out of You're crossing the zero and

0:59:31.600 --> 0:59:35.160
<v Speaker 2>you're teasing the worst team in the league. Vegas thinks

0:59:35.200 --> 0:59:37.680
<v Speaker 2>they they're gonna lose by seventeen, and you're like, but

0:59:37.760 --> 0:59:40.280
<v Speaker 2>they can't lose by twenty four. I just don't love it.

0:59:40.760 --> 0:59:43.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling you right now, I'd love to love it,

0:59:44.360 --> 0:59:46.640
<v Speaker 2>but I don't love it. If I'm gonna tease the

0:59:46.720 --> 0:59:49.360
<v Speaker 2>Giants Ravens game, I'm teasing it otherwise.

0:59:50.800 --> 0:59:54.400
<v Speaker 3>Down to nine, you know how the Ravens and let

0:59:54.600 --> 0:59:57.760
<v Speaker 3>let teams back into it. It is the Giants.

0:59:57.920 --> 1:00:03.000
<v Speaker 2>It's the Giants. I don't know, man, I just I can't.

1:00:03.160 --> 1:00:05.919
<v Speaker 2>I can't do it. All right, what's the offer this week?

1:00:07.080 --> 1:00:09.800
<v Speaker 3>Um? Yeah, So this offer that comes from the game

1:00:09.840 --> 1:00:13.080
<v Speaker 3>of the week between the Bills and the Lions. Both

1:00:13.160 --> 1:00:15.520
<v Speaker 3>teams are top five and interceptions right now, and the

1:00:15.600 --> 1:00:18.560
<v Speaker 3>Bills are top three and fumble recoveries. So with the

1:00:18.640 --> 1:00:21.680
<v Speaker 3>MVP on the line, can we see the throwback? That's it?

1:00:21.920 --> 1:00:22.280
<v Speaker 2>This week?

1:00:22.400 --> 1:00:25.080
<v Speaker 3>The offer is Detroit Buffalo game to have over two

1:00:25.120 --> 1:00:26.720
<v Speaker 3>and a half turnovers at plus one twenty?

1:00:29.000 --> 1:00:31.440
<v Speaker 2>Do you like Detroit Buffalo game to have over two

1:00:31.520 --> 1:00:40.640
<v Speaker 2>and a half turnovers at plus one twenty? I gotta

1:00:40.720 --> 1:00:41.400
<v Speaker 2>turn it down.

1:00:42.960 --> 1:00:45.640
<v Speaker 3>The best like plus seven three turnovers?

1:00:45.760 --> 1:00:48.160
<v Speaker 2>No, I mean plus seven hundred we'd obviously take, but

1:00:48.240 --> 1:00:50.400
<v Speaker 2>I think it's got to be closer to like two

1:00:50.480 --> 1:00:54.640
<v Speaker 2>to one. So I get it that golf, you know,

1:00:54.880 --> 1:00:57.640
<v Speaker 2>the golf stripsack or golf, but golfs aside from the

1:00:57.720 --> 1:01:00.560
<v Speaker 2>five interception, game has been pretty good. Taking care of

1:01:00.600 --> 1:01:03.840
<v Speaker 2>the football, Josh Allen's been good. Now, I actually think

1:01:03.880 --> 1:01:06.320
<v Speaker 2>it's going to be a well played game. I sadly

1:01:06.480 --> 1:01:08.919
<v Speaker 2>have to turn down the offer. All right, quick break,

1:01:09.000 --> 1:01:11.320
<v Speaker 2>come back answer some listener questions, then get out of here.

1:01:11.400 --> 1:01:11.800
<v Speaker 1>What's right?

1:01:16.680 --> 1:01:18.800
<v Speaker 2>All right? Welcome back in What's right with Nick? Right

1:01:18.880 --> 1:01:23.440
<v Speaker 2>demonse the listener Curtis It said, he knows what teams

1:01:23.440 --> 1:01:25.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm picking face off in the Super Bowl? Who are

1:01:25.600 --> 1:01:29.000
<v Speaker 2>you picking right now this moment to face off in

1:01:29.080 --> 1:01:29.720
<v Speaker 2>the Super Bowl.

1:01:31.280 --> 1:01:35.720
<v Speaker 3>I've got to be loyal and say Ravens Ravens Detroit.

1:01:36.200 --> 1:01:38.240
<v Speaker 3>I initially said that it was going to be Chiefs

1:01:38.280 --> 1:01:41.560
<v Speaker 3>Eagles again, but with the stuff that's going on with

1:01:41.640 --> 1:01:44.720
<v Speaker 3>the Eagles right now, I don't know I think that,

1:01:45.560 --> 1:01:50.560
<v Speaker 3>but I'd go Lions. I'd go Lions Chiefs for being real.

1:01:51.400 --> 1:01:54.520
<v Speaker 2>Right, if you had to actually put money on it,

1:01:54.560 --> 1:01:57.560
<v Speaker 2>you'd go Lions Chiefs, which I understand. That makes sense.

1:01:58.640 --> 1:02:00.520
<v Speaker 2>All right, you can now go back to I'm sorry,

1:02:00.600 --> 1:02:02.440
<v Speaker 2>I was for you. I wanted to ask it.

1:02:03.680 --> 1:02:07.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so el Hayes, Hey, Nick, how's the triathlon training coming.

1:02:08.160 --> 1:02:12.400
<v Speaker 2>It's going pretty good. It was on the bike this morning. Again.

1:02:12.640 --> 1:02:15.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm leaning maybe to making it a do Apple instead

1:02:15.960 --> 1:02:17.800
<v Speaker 2>of triathlon because I don't know that I want to

1:02:17.880 --> 1:02:21.480
<v Speaker 2>train the swimming that much. I just don't know how

1:02:21.560 --> 1:02:23.320
<v Speaker 2>much I would enjoy that. But it's going good. I

1:02:23.400 --> 1:02:24.960
<v Speaker 2>feel like I'm in the best shape of my life

1:02:25.040 --> 1:02:27.040
<v Speaker 2>right now, so yeah, I appreciate you asking, all right.

1:02:27.120 --> 1:02:30.960
<v Speaker 3>Next, Alex hay Nikka demands, with the rules changing this

1:02:31.080 --> 1:02:33.720
<v Speaker 3>year for Comeback Player of the Year, do you think

1:02:33.800 --> 1:02:36.479
<v Speaker 3>Russell Wilson deserves it to be the front runner winner

1:02:36.480 --> 1:02:37.000
<v Speaker 3>of the award?

1:02:38.000 --> 1:02:41.360
<v Speaker 2>So I think the rule change hurt Russell Wilson because

1:02:41.360 --> 1:02:43.400
<v Speaker 2>I think they clarified it because they didn't like that

1:02:43.520 --> 1:02:47.080
<v Speaker 2>last year Joe Flacco won it over Tomorrow Hamlin because

1:02:47.120 --> 1:02:49.080
<v Speaker 2>it was like, well, you just came back from sucking,

1:02:49.560 --> 1:02:52.360
<v Speaker 2>So they they tweaked it to where it's like you

1:02:52.440 --> 1:02:54.600
<v Speaker 2>need to be coming back from like an injury or

1:02:55.120 --> 1:02:59.840
<v Speaker 2>something like that. So I think that Russell Wilson's like,

1:03:00.040 --> 1:03:02.760
<v Speaker 2>what's he coming back from? So I think it's wide

1:03:02.800 --> 1:03:07.640
<v Speaker 2>open because Kirk might get benched. Aaron's been awful, Like,

1:03:07.880 --> 1:03:12.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't know who even the front runner would be next.

1:03:14.560 --> 1:03:18.240
<v Speaker 3>Grayson. If Bill's luiseh to Lamar be MVP. He beats

1:03:18.320 --> 1:03:20.760
<v Speaker 3>Alan in literally every single stat and would have only

1:03:20.840 --> 1:03:23.440
<v Speaker 3>had one less would only have one less win, but

1:03:23.600 --> 1:03:27.439
<v Speaker 3>with a tougher schedule and when they played head to head,

1:03:27.720 --> 1:03:29.120
<v Speaker 3>let's say we beat the Bills this year too.

1:03:29.960 --> 1:03:34.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but by thirty five to ten, I he has

1:03:34.720 --> 1:03:38.640
<v Speaker 2>an argument. I and certainly, And this is why I

1:03:38.920 --> 1:03:43.000
<v Speaker 2>think the narrative is gonna shift to golf, because Lamar

1:03:43.200 --> 1:03:46.760
<v Speaker 2>has a pretty good argument versus Josh Allen. If they

1:03:46.840 --> 1:03:50.000
<v Speaker 2>fall to ten and four, not nearly as good of

1:03:50.000 --> 1:03:53.240
<v Speaker 2>an argument against golf. And right now Allen's running away

1:03:53.280 --> 1:03:55.960
<v Speaker 2>with it. So that's one of the reasons I think

1:03:56.000 --> 1:04:02.800
<v Speaker 2>golf could uh. I think golf could end up stealing

1:04:02.880 --> 1:04:03.400
<v Speaker 2>this award.

1:04:03.480 --> 1:04:08.560
<v Speaker 3>All right, Next, Horton, Kaitlyn Clark has voted Times Athlete

1:04:08.560 --> 1:04:10.960
<v Speaker 3>of the Year. Is she in the top five for

1:04:11.080 --> 1:04:12.720
<v Speaker 3>most influential US athletes?

1:04:13.880 --> 1:04:19.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Yeah, absolutely, no question about it. Also, did you

1:04:19.440 --> 1:04:23.040
<v Speaker 2>see this Kaitlyn Clark quote. So, Kaitlyn Clark did an

1:04:23.080 --> 1:04:26.120
<v Speaker 2>interview with Time, and she did a good job, I thought,

1:04:26.600 --> 1:04:29.840
<v Speaker 2>kind of advocating for black women in the sport and

1:04:29.960 --> 1:04:31.960
<v Speaker 2>doing a lot of things people had said she should

1:04:31.960 --> 1:04:33.720
<v Speaker 2>have done earlier. But it was good to see her

1:04:33.800 --> 1:04:37.880
<v Speaker 2>do it. She had another quote that didn't get as

1:04:37.960 --> 1:04:44.880
<v Speaker 2>much attention, but is legit hilarious because she unintentionally absolutely

1:04:45.280 --> 1:04:50.400
<v Speaker 2>nay palms the girls she played against in college. I'm

1:04:50.520 --> 1:04:55.280
<v Speaker 2>going to read you this quote. Yeah, professional players and

1:04:55.360 --> 1:04:59.880
<v Speaker 2>professional coaches, this is no disrespect to college women's bast

1:05:00.000 --> 1:05:04.680
<v Speaker 2>baketball are a lot smarter. I love women's college basketball,

1:05:05.200 --> 1:05:07.280
<v Speaker 2>but if you go back and watch the way people

1:05:07.400 --> 1:05:13.479
<v Speaker 2>guarded me in college, it's almost like concerning. They didn't

1:05:13.560 --> 1:05:17.520
<v Speaker 2>double me, they didn't trap me. They weren't physical, and

1:05:17.680 --> 1:05:21.840
<v Speaker 2>it's hard. It's college. A lot of these women will

1:05:21.960 --> 1:05:25.120
<v Speaker 2>never go on to play another basketball game in their life.

1:05:25.800 --> 1:05:29.080
<v Speaker 2>They don't have the IQ of understanding how the game works.

1:05:29.480 --> 1:05:33.320
<v Speaker 2>So I completely understand it, and it's no disrespect at all.

1:05:33.720 --> 1:05:36.880
<v Speaker 2>They don't have the IQ. You have to simplify it

1:05:37.040 --> 1:05:45.840
<v Speaker 2>for girls at that age. Geez, absolutely naked rude. But

1:05:46.800 --> 1:05:49.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm not trying to be rude. But these ladies were

1:05:49.480 --> 1:05:53.160
<v Speaker 2>dumb and are not going to be playing basketball much longer.

1:05:56.920 --> 1:06:00.680
<v Speaker 2>Torches them. Oh my god, it was unbelo So you

1:06:00.760 --> 1:06:04.240
<v Speaker 2>know women's college basketball. Me and your sisters and your

1:06:04.320 --> 1:06:07.520
<v Speaker 2>mom went to the double head head at Barclays and

1:06:07.680 --> 1:06:10.160
<v Speaker 2>Paige Beckers, who's either the best or the second best

1:06:10.200 --> 1:06:13.640
<v Speaker 2>player in the sport, gave Deanna fist bump and she

1:06:13.880 --> 1:06:19.560
<v Speaker 2>was over the moon. I know is living quite the life,

1:06:21.280 --> 1:06:25.560
<v Speaker 2>but uh, and and by the way, one women's college

1:06:25.600 --> 1:06:28.800
<v Speaker 2>basketball note, I understand UCLA is the number one team

1:06:28.840 --> 1:06:32.160
<v Speaker 2>in the country. Oh, you should hold on a second here,

1:06:33.040 --> 1:06:37.960
<v Speaker 2>that's a good idea, Nick, Ucla women's basketball. Let me

1:06:38.520 --> 1:06:46.760
<v Speaker 2>when does UCLA play USC? So they owe final game

1:06:46.840 --> 1:06:52.560
<v Speaker 2>of the regular season. They're at USC February thirteenth, and

1:06:52.680 --> 1:06:58.800
<v Speaker 2>they host USC March first. All if you have any interest, demonse,

1:06:59.600 --> 1:07:02.280
<v Speaker 2>all hits you good tickets to either of those games.

1:07:02.840 --> 1:07:07.440
<v Speaker 3>I'd love to. So, yeah, this year, what day is

1:07:07.520 --> 1:07:11.960
<v Speaker 3>it fall? I think the seventh, Okay.

1:07:12.760 --> 1:07:17.160
<v Speaker 2>Maybe the ninth. I should know the February ninth.

1:07:18.360 --> 1:07:20.880
<v Speaker 3>So, but i'd love so.

1:07:21.080 --> 1:07:23.240
<v Speaker 2>UCLA is the number one team in the country. The

1:07:23.280 --> 1:07:25.600
<v Speaker 2>reason I even thought of it is because I watched

1:07:25.680 --> 1:07:28.520
<v Speaker 2>Yukon and I'm like, listen, I haven't watched UCLA women

1:07:28.840 --> 1:07:31.240
<v Speaker 2>yet this year. I don't know how any team is

1:07:31.280 --> 1:07:36.960
<v Speaker 2>possibly better than Yukon. Yukon was just so unbelievable. Immediately

1:07:37.120 --> 1:07:39.960
<v Speaker 2>I watched the Iowa Tennessee game before that game was awesome.

1:07:40.280 --> 1:07:42.320
<v Speaker 2>Yukon came out looked like they were playing a different sport.

1:07:42.680 --> 1:07:46.440
<v Speaker 2>But seeing UCLA the number one team in the country,

1:07:46.840 --> 1:07:51.720
<v Speaker 2>and then Juju against USC like for USC would be unbelievable.

1:07:52.000 --> 1:07:54.880
<v Speaker 2>So that should be a great matchup. That'd be really,

1:07:54.920 --> 1:07:58.880
<v Speaker 2>really good. So it's either February thirteenth at USC or

1:08:00.400 --> 1:08:03.840
<v Speaker 2>March first against UCLA. All right, great show to Monday.

1:08:04.200 --> 1:08:08.320
