They saw Dexter, my dog the 5 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 1: last couple podcasts, hopping up on the couch and obscuring 6 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,440 Speaker 1: the boost Mobile pillow. And now we have this fancy 7 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 1: thing that looks like a light, Demonse that's actually an 8 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: electrified fence. Dexter hops up there. He's zapped. Yeah for real. 9 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: Like they're like, no, we made good money to be 10 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: the title sponsor of What's Right with Nick Wright. We're 11 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,199 Speaker 1: not gonna have some silly Portuguese water dog obscuring our 12 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,520 Speaker 1: advertisement that may or may not be true. But shout 13 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,159 Speaker 1: out to boost Mobile for the sick light. Demanse, how 14 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: are you?

Big week coming up 17 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 1: for Demanse as the snake should be hatching anytime, and 18 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: his baby sister flying cross country by herself. Fine to 19 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: spend a long weekend with her brother. That should be great. 20 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,839 Speaker 1: And the best part of it is what when she arrives, 21 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: I will be rolling dice in Monaco, and so I'll 22 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: be unavailable, so you're on your own pal, but it'll 23 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: be great. So all that's going on, and I'm fired 24 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: up today. I'm fired up today because how do I 25 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: say this respectfully? People are either dumb or lying, or 26 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: just think that we don't have access to their previous 27 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: takes and or just you know what I mean, maybe 28 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: maybe the most the biggest indictment, I could say, just 29 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: trolling for views or clicks or content. I don't know 30 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: what it is, but I do know that I'm just 31 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: letting you guys know. Right now, we have eight topics 32 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: listed for today's show. Topics two through eight are going 33 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: might be bite sized because topic one could take a while. 34 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: But before we get to that, straight to voicemail again. 35 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: Brought to you by our friends at boost Mobile Cam 36 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: little seventy yard field goal. Two takes on this demands 37 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: A one that is now the record. I don't care. 38 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: There's the preseason. That's the record that should be in 39 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,519 Speaker 1: the record books. And two I just up to the 40 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 1: Jags to eleven wins. I had him at ten, I 41 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: now got him at eleven. If you get to midfield 42 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 1: and you're in field, goal range. I mean, what do 43 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: you what a weapon? I listen, your guy, Chet, I 44 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: say this with respect. It's just he's got it. He's 45 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 1: got to grow up, like go ahead. 46 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 2: It was a little outlandish. But why is every guy 47 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 2: that's doing something like bad or not great? Why is 48 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 2: it always my guy? 49 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: I feel like you, I feel it's what I feel like. Well, 50 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: here's the thing, do you or do you not? Feel like? 51 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: I have been too skeptical of Chet because I don't 52 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 1: like how skinny is. Were you or were you not 53 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 1: more pro Chet than me? So on this show between 54 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: the two of us, he's your guy. He's certainly my guy. 55 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 2: Anti Chet, Yeah. 56 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 1: Well I'm not anti Chet either, but I'm getting there. 57 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: And also the Wilds was a big check guy. And 58 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: then and then Wild's read an interview with Chet where 59 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 1: they asked him about his favorite books and his answer 60 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: was just all coffee table books with a bunch of pictures. 61 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: He was like, it was like, I've got this book 62 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: on Rolexes, which is just the pictures of Rolexes. And 63 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: Wilds came to the conclusion that Chet maybe has never 64 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: read a book, and so he soured on him a bit. 65 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: And now he's dressed like a seventies pimp and his 66 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: buddy's wedding not great and Ceedee lamb, this is like 67 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: funny because he's fine. Ceedee. Liam could have got legit 68 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: hurt there. Yeah, like that little that whiplash thing back 69 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: when all the way up. Yeah, that was a scary. 70 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: That was a scary moment. 71 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 2: All right, I'm about that ref man, wait room. 72 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: I know the reps running full speed, probably running full 73 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: Steed runs into him. Yeah, and CD, you know, is 74 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: limber enough. So I thought the ref was fine. I 75 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: was worried about CD.

Yeah, So a couple of. 84 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 2: QB polls came out quarterback rankings, whatever you want to 85 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 2: call him. So Bill Simmons debuted his quarterback pyramid, and 86 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 2: he had Josh Allen at the top. Dan Orlowsky came 87 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,919 Speaker 2: out with a bunch of traits that quarterback should have 88 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 2: about six, that Patrick mahomes number one, and about the 89 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 2: same amount of categories as Daniel Jones. 90 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 1: So which one? Yeah? 91 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 2: Yeah? 92 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: Zero? 93 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 2: So which one of these is enraging you more? Which 94 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 2: one do you want to ask? 95 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: Oh, it's definitely Simmons's and we're gonna deep dive on 96 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 1: it because it is not lost on me that my 97 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,919 Speaker 1: pal and I like Bill. Bill and I have a 98 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 1: good relationship. But it is not lost to me that 99 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 1: Bill Simmons kind of kicks off his full NFL coverage 100 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: with a podcast that debuts a quarterback pyramid and whose 101 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: main guest is Kevin Wilds. I'm not saying that Bill 102 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: that this was a direct shot at me, and you know, 103 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: trying to pull apart first things first, But I'm not 104 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,239 Speaker 1: saying it wasn't. So I'll get to Bill in a second. 105 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: But on Orlofsky's thing, listen, I'm not gonna I'm not 106 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: gonna argue with Dann obviously knows the quarterback position better 107 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: than me. I what I am gonna say is this 108 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: arm strength he has Josh Allen one, Patrick two, no problem. 109 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: I actually agree with that, and I actually think you 110 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 1: could be tricky with that one. There might be you 111 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 1: might be able to say Herbert could be ahead of 112 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 1: Patrick Hell. I don't know if Joe Milton's availed eligible, 113 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: like he could be like that just the raw arm 114 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: strength Josh Allen one is totally fine, no beef whatsoever. 115 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: Then it gets dumb ball placement. Patrick Mahomes five behind 116 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow again fine, Jaden, Lamar and Josh. You know, 117 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: I think that's a good take. I think a lot 118 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 1: of people watch Lamar, Josh and Jaden and they're like 119 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: they can just put it where they want better than 120 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. 121 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 2: I was just thinking, like, how much of Burrow's is 122 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 2: the fact that he has those Crazyr receivers. They're just gonna. 123 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: Well, No, I think Burrow is like dumb accurate because 124 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: he has to be because he's not very fast and 125 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: he doesn't have the strongest arm. So the way he 126 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: can be as successful as he is is like I 127 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: think Burrow would maybe win the contest of that net 128 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: drill that Caleb failed the other day if they did that, 129 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: but like made it harder and harder and harder. I 130 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: think Burrow might be my number one pick, but call 131 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: me crazy in that drill, I wouldn't take Lamar over Patrick. Again, 132 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: maybe I'm a hater. Next one, we get to mechanics 133 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: where he lists ten quarterbacks and Patrick's not one of them. 134 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: And let me tell you again, he has Lamar four. Yeah, 135 00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: I watched Lamar play quarterback, and I'm like, man, if 136 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: only Patrick had as clean of mechanics as Lamar does, 137 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: I do like I feel that way. I think it's 138 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: a good take the other ones. And again again like 139 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: the if Geno, Dak and Golf have better mechanics than Patrick, 140 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: then maybe mechanics are overrated. But mechanics didn't. Again, Patrick 141 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: didn't make the top ten decision making with the football. 142 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: Patrick came in stifth again I and then this is 143 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: the this is the one that really I couldn't. I 144 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: couldn't get over pocket presence. Burrow won, Lamar two, Patrick three. Okay, 145 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: like whatever, I'm not gonna I don't even I don't 146 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: even know what we're doing here. But fine, that's Orlowsky's list. 147 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 1: He has a more fine tuned I for quarterback than me, 148 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: I suppose I think it is. I disagree with some 149 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 1: of those, but that's not my real beef. My real 150 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 1: beef is with Bill, because Bill debuts his quarterback pyramid 151 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: and has Josh Allen at the top. And the problem 152 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: with that is, and here's the problem with having as 153 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: long and as successful a career as Bill Simmons has had, 154 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: and a career that so many folks, myself included obviously 155 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: literally grew up reading every single one of your sports 156 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: takes because Bill's column was must read for every sports 157 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:50,839 Speaker 1: fan of my generation for more than a decade. The 158 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: problem with having that level of influence and being having 159 00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: that long of a career is earmuffs, kids, We remember 160 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 1: what you fucking wrote. And for fifteen years, Bill fought 161 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: tooth and nail against the idea that anyone would ever, 162 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: under any circumstances consider Peyton Manning better than Tom Brady, 163 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: even though for the entirety of those fifteen years, Peyton 164 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 1: had a strong, a far stronger case to be considered 165 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: better than Peyton Manning. I'm sorry that. Let me back 166 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: that up. Peyton had a far stronger case to be 167 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: considered better than Brady. Then Josh would have right now 168 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: to be considered better than Patrick. And this is where 169 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: all of these quarterback rankings are going to be self defeating. 170 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: But let me just quickly, off the top of my 171 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:18,559 Speaker 1: damn head, give you the Peyton versus Tom first decade 172 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: history win again a reminder, my pal Bill built part 173 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: of his massive empire on the take that Tom Brady 174 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 1: is better than Peyton Manning. If we go two thousand 175 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: to two thousand and five, Peyton has peeled MVPs, but 176 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: Peyton is zero to two in the playoffs against Tom. 177 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: Tom has three championships, Peyton has none. Peyton has never 178 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 1: been to a Super Bowl. So even though Peyton Manning 179 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: statistically speaking, was the far superior quarterback with MVPs, he 180 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: had never beaten Tom in a big spot the championships 181 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: three to nothing. Then in two thousand and six, Peyton 182 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: not only wins another I'm sorry, he's already won two 183 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: MVPs at that point, plays Tom in the AFC Championship game. 184 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: Tom's up I think twenty one to three at halftime. 185 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: Peyton comes all the way back and wins the super Bowl, 186 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: wins it beats Tom. The playoffs are now two to one, 187 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 1: Peyton wins the Super Bowl, and Bill, I think justifiably, 188 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: is still even though in that moment all pros Peyton 189 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: has multiple tom As zero, MVPs Peyton has multiple tom 190 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: As zero, the playoff win loss record is two to one, 191 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: the rings are three to one. Bill is still strident, 192 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 1: steadfast correct. Tom's better, seemingly vindicated by the fact that 193 00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: the next year Tom finally wins his first MVP, team 194 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 1: goes undefeated. They look like one of the greatest teams 195 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: ever until as double digit favorites they get beaten the 196 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. In that moment, even though the rings were 197 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 1: three to one, the MVPs were two to one, the 198 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:21,079 Speaker 1: all pros were two to one or three to one, 199 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 1: I'm not sure, and the playoff win loss record was 200 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: tow to one in Tom's direction in that moment, if 201 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 1: anyone had debuted the take, Peyton has passed Tom because 202 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: Tom didn't win the Super Bowl last year, Bill's head 203 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: would have exploded. And then, by the way, over the 204 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: next decade, Tom never beat Peyton in the playoffs again. 205 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: There was a brief time in Denver where it looked 206 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: like maybe Peyton had kind of overtaken the argument and 207 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: then Tom went on that unbelievable twenty fourteen through twenty 208 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: twenty run, Desmond himself as the goat. But every single 209 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: football take we have heard for twenty years from Bill 210 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: Simmons has valued playoff performance, doing it in the biggest spots. 211 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: And if you've got the belt, someone's got to come 212 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: take it from you. So when I saw the clip yesterday, 213 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: where the rationale for elevating Josh Allen, who is again 214 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: unlike Peyton Brady, where Peyton had the stats and Brady 215 00:14:53,560 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: had the wins, Maholmes has moral pros, more MVP, better 216 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: career numbers, five trips to the Super Bowl to zero, 217 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: three rings to zero, and is four and zero in 218 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: the playoffs against him. When I hear the argument that 219 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: Mahomes played so poorly in the Super Bowl, he falls 220 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: down a peg without the obvious follow up being why 221 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: wasn't Josh in the Super Bowl? Bill? Because he couldn't 222 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: beat Patrick again, and that is where and again, I 223 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: think Josh is the second best quarterback in the league. 224 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: Now that Josh has a league MVP, I'm comfortable calling 225 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: him a future Hall of Famer. I think Josh eventually 226 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 1: is going to break through. I think Josh's ability last 227 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: year to cut down on the turnovers and still carry 228 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: a team that wasn't all that talented at the skill position, 229 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: certainly on the outside, was wildly impressive. But we have 230 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: to stop acting like these have been unfair fights or 231 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 1: Josh hasn't had his chance in back to back years 232 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Once in Josh's building, once in Patrick's building, 233 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 1: Josh has gotten the ball late fourth quarter, down three 234 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 1: points the first time. He can only get them to 235 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: not the edge of field goal range, but not a 236 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: gimme field goal forty four yard or if I remember, 237 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,919 Speaker 1: and that would have only gotten them the tie with 238 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: a couple minutes left, has a chance finished the game, 239 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,199 Speaker 1: ball in your hands. Don't let Patrick come back and 240 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:17,640 Speaker 1: get it. They come away with zero points. Then last year, 241 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: down three Conference championship game, plenty of time, can't get 242 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 1: to midfield, So do not do you cannot. And this 243 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 1: is why the quarterback ranking stuff right now can be 244 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:43,400 Speaker 1: so frustrating for people. Has Patrick played in the regular 245 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: season his best ball the last couple of years? No, 246 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: but who are again? And I've said it before, I 247 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: will say it again. If you want to argue you 248 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: know what, Jalen hurts is the best quarterback in the league. 249 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 1: I don't think anyone actually believes that, except for maybe 250 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 1: Jalen's lovely mother, who dressed me down a bit the 251 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: night before the Super Bowl. I don't even think Jalen 252 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: believes that. But if you want to argue that, at 253 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: least there is a case you can make. But for 254 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: the other three guys, as I said a moment ago, 255 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: the argument becomes instantly self defeating. Burrows' claim to fame 256 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 1: is what he did in the first two the first 257 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 1: postseason and a half of his career, going into Arrowhead, 258 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: beating Patrick, getting to the Super Bowl, then getting back 259 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: to the AFC Championship Game, and then he had a 260 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 1: pretty miserable second half with a chance to go to 261 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,159 Speaker 1: a second straight Super Bowl, got the ball, tie game, 262 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: go get a field goal, got negative yards, loses, and 263 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: has not been back to the postseason since. There is 264 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 1: no time in the history of Pro football when there 265 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 1: have been multiple first ballot Hall of famers active in 266 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: their prime where we would say a guy elevated himself 267 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: to best quarterback in the league in a two year 268 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 1: stretch where he plays zero playoff games, not eligible Lamar, 269 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: who's in the midst of arguably as good of a 270 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 1: two year regular season stretch as any player at his 271 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: position ever when that player to varying degrees, and this 272 00:19:53,640 --> 00:20:00,919 Speaker 1: past year was the most positive sign has come up 273 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 1: against the other two guys who he is in the 274 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 1: debate with for who's the best, and both games gotten 275 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:25,440 Speaker 1: outplayed by and lost to in the postseason Patrick two 276 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: years ago and Josh last year. He's not gonna have it. 277 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: And across all of sports except for maybe there were 278 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,880 Speaker 1: some people arguing Jerry West was better than Bill Russell. 279 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: But with respect, as great as the Mahomes Reed Chiefs are, 280 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: they are not the institutionally top to bottom more talented 281 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:57,679 Speaker 1: team like the Russell Celtics. We have never made an 282 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:04,920 Speaker 1: argument that win every single year for a half decade, 283 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:09,959 Speaker 1: one guy beats and out plays another guy in the 284 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: postseason that the other guy's better. It's a again for 285 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:25,919 Speaker 1: the entirety of Peyton versus Brady. When Peyton was a 286 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 1: cult that whole decade plus, they only played in the 287 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: postseason three times and it was two to one Tom, 288 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: and it was still framed correctly as if Tom held 289 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 1: over him in the postseason. Imagine if they played four 290 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: times and it was four to zero. And so again, 291 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: this is what I would ask my pal Bill. If 292 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: Tom had beaten Peyton in six and then gone on 293 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 1: to lose that Super Bowl and he was up three 294 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: to zero in the playoffs and the ring count was 295 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 1: three zero and the super Bowl count was four zero, 296 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 1: and someone made the argument that Peyton Manning was better 297 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 1: based on Tom playing poorly in this make believe two 298 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: thousand and six super Bowl, what would your reaction have been? 299 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: And the answer is, we know, so can we please 300 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 1: please have a level of consistency on this, that's all. Honestly, 301 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: that didn't go quite as long as I thought. And 302 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 1: again I'm not trying to act like I invented the 303 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,919 Speaker 1: pyramid style ranking of quarterbacks. What I will say is, 304 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: if you're gonna really do it, each level has to 305 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 1: be one player bigger than the previous. You can't go one, two, three, four, five, five, 306 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 1: five fi five. That's not the idea that that's not 307 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: how a pyramid looks either at the and I mean 308 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: it's just not. I mean, I don't e that's a crayon. 309 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 1: That's how a crayon looks, not how a pyramid looks. 310 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 1: That's first of all. Second of all, my buddy Kate 311 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 1: w could have given you pointers on that when he 312 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: was on the pod with you.

This is voted 344 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 2: on by execs and gms and coaches, so this is 345 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 2: the real deal. Year of the survey, Heyserdrive, Mahomes and 346 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 2: Burrow tied at number one, with Alan Lamar and Stafford 347 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 2: Brownie at tier one. How did some voters not have 348 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 2: Alan and Lamar as Tier one? 349 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 1: Well, guys, so that so here is what's crazier about 350 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: that demonse and this, I don't know if you remember. 351 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:38,120 Speaker 1: Last year in this poll coming off the league, MVP 352 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 1: Lamar was Tier two. Yeah, dude, it is. This is 353 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 1: the first time in Lamar's career he's been Tier one. 354 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: Last year, Lamar got twenty three Tier one votes, twenty 355 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 1: six Tier two votes, and one Tier three vote. At 356 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: Tier three votes, it's an outge. That's just an outrage. 357 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 1: This year he got forty six Tier one votes and 358 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: four Tier two votes. Josh got forty seven Tier one 359 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 1: votes and three Tier two votes. 360 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 2: Two. 361 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: I'm not listen, I am not going to Oh, it's 362 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 1: it's as close to the unanimous as you can be 363 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 1: without being unanimous. There's clearly Listen, what you saw is 364 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 1: some of these executives, and you saw it kind of 365 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 1: throughout the voting on this Really, when they are judging quarterbacks, 366 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: they are almost entirely just removing improvisation and running and 367 00:26:55,560 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 1: that's that they are purely asking themselves, and they even 368 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: describe it. A Tier one quarterback can carry his team 369 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 1: each week. All right, So Josh and Lamar obviously are 370 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 1: in that category. The team wins because of him, Josh 371 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: and Lamar a in that category. He expertly handles pure 372 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 1: passing situations. So I think that is where people found 373 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 1: a way to discount Josh and Lamar, who are obviously 374 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:35,159 Speaker 1: Tier one quarterbacks. I my response to them would be 375 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: those guys, first of all, they're excellent passers as is now. 376 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: I'm not Jim Harbaugh saying Lamar is the greatest pure 377 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 1: passer to ever play. I think that's probably a step 378 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 1: too far. But they are such dynamic runners that even 379 00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 1: in pure passing situations they can make the play with 380 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:05,400 Speaker 1: their legs. So, like, I just think those are bad opinions, 381 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like say it again, games changing, Yeah, 382 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:16,399 Speaker 1: games changing, and their ability to they they can just 383 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 1: beat you in a bunch of different ways. Like it 384 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 1: is you. You can't if you wanted to argue, as 385 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 1: I have in the past, there is only one there's 386 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 1: a there's a tier above Tier one, and that's the 387 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: tier Mahomes lives in. Fine, but if we're saying there's 388 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,919 Speaker 1: just Tier one and those four guys, well, you know what, 389 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 1: let me back it up, Patrick, Josh and Lamar have 390 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: to be in it. I think Burrow definitively deserves to 391 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 1: be in it. But if someone wanted to construct a 392 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: case which is kind of the reverse of what we're 393 00:28:55,960 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: talking about on Burrow, which is, yeah, he handles pure 394 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 1: passing situations, but unlike the other three guys, right, he 395 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: can't beat you. 396 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 2: Well, he kind of carries his divise. 397 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 1: I mean, he carries he carries his team while he's 398 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: on the field, like I don't. I don't is tough, 399 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 1: but that that's not on him. But he can't. All 400 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: the other guys can beat you with their arm and 401 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 1: their legs. Burrow can only beat you with his arm, 402 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 1: but he's so good with his arm, Like listen, he's 403 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 1: clearly Tier one. And then it gets a little tricky, 404 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 1: which is and so like listen, I just think those 405 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 1: three or four voters they didn't have Alan and Lamar's 406 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: tier one, Like, it wouldn't surprise me at all if 407 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 1: some of them had, Like how many Tier one votes 408 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: did Herbert get? Let me look real quick. Herbert got 409 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 1: thirteen Tier one votes. So I bet those three or 410 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 1: four voters that didn't vote Josh and Lamar did vote Herbert. 411 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 1: And that's just stupid. I mean, that's just flatly dumb. 412 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: All right, Hurts, keep going on. 413 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 2: That guy. He was square in the middle and the 414 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 2: Tier two with twelve voters given him a Tier three vote. 415 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 2: So as the Hurts debate put to rest. 416 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: Well, so Hurts got three Tier one, thirty five, Tier two, 417 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 1: and twelve Tier three and he so in Let's just 418 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: give it some context here. 419 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 2: Right after we said, we said Lamar got three after 420 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 2: he won MVP. 421 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, after the Super Bowl year that they lost 422 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 1: when he came in second MVP voting. Okay, so that 423 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 1: was when he came in second MVP voting to Mahomes. 424 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 1: That year, he got ten Tier one, thirty eight Tier two, 425 00:30:55,920 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 1: and two Tier three. Last year, after the Supernatural Funk 426 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 1: year and the collapse at the end of the year, 427 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 1: he got one Tier one, thirty three Tier two, and 428 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: sixteen Tier three. This year he got two more Tier 429 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 1: ones up to three, two more Tier twos, up to 430 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 1: thirty five, and down to twelve Tier threes, down from sixteen. 431 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 1: I think having Jalen Hurts listed as a Tier three 432 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 1: quarterback is stupid. I want to make that clear. I 433 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 1: think that now the description of Tier two. If you care, 434 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 1: a Tier two quarterback can carry his team sometimes, but 435 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:54,680 Speaker 1: not as consistently. He can handle pure passing situations in doses, 436 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,480 Speaker 1: and or possesses other dimensions that are special enough to 437 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 1: elevate him above tier three. He has a whole or 438 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 1: two in his game. I think that's a perfect description 439 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 1: of Jalen Hurts. I think the actual description of can 440 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 1: carry his team, but not as consistently, can handle pure 441 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 1: passing situations in doses, and possesses other dimensions that are 442 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,479 Speaker 1: special enough to elevate him above tier three, has a 443 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 1: whole or two in his game. That to me, is 444 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 1: a perfect description. The hole is he has never proven 445 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 1: he can be a high volume passer that leads to 446 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 1: team and individual success. But everything else he does at 447 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 1: a super high level. And whatever demeriage you give him 448 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 1: on pure passing situations, the absolute cheat code of the 449 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,920 Speaker 1: tush push that you know is unique to him. It 450 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,720 Speaker 1: would appear when I say, cheak got that in a 451 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 1: complimentary way. 452 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 2: What I'm saying, like that would be a cat like 453 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 2: that would that would elevate him. 454 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 1: That's elevates him. 455 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,640 Speaker 2: Okay, what I'm saying, I was curious if. 456 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:20,040 Speaker 1: You no, if you're gonna knock him for there's a 457 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 1: point Wilde's made yesterday, and he's right. If we're gonna 458 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 1: knock him for in third and nine, would you rather 459 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 1: have Matt Stafford then we have to give him more 460 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 1: for the fact that it's fourth and one. You'd rather 461 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 1: have him than any player in the league, right, Yeah? 462 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 2: But is that is that him or is that the 463 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 2: team combo? 464 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I do think the fact that he is 465 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,960 Speaker 1: so strong and so tough and has mastered it, you 466 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like I saw Tanner McKee try 467 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 1: to do it in the preseason. It was ugly. We've 468 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 1: seen other teams, you know what I mean. So I 469 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 1: think it's you know, I think it's not all him, 470 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 1: but it's part of him, part of the team. But 471 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:12,920 Speaker 1: with all that said, I the guys above him, I 472 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:19,200 Speaker 1: can like Matt Stafford's number five on this list. I 473 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:23,400 Speaker 1: love Stafford. Now. Is if Stafford's number five with an 474 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 1: asterisk because we're saying if he you know, if he's healthy, 475 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 1: that's totally fair. And if you want to say you're 476 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:35,520 Speaker 1: gonna knock him because you know, Jalen gets hurt and 477 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,560 Speaker 1: just you know, plays through, it's Stafford. Now, Stafford's played 478 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,359 Speaker 1: through a bunch of stuff. But we are worried at 479 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,840 Speaker 1: this point with his age of him missing time, so 480 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,439 Speaker 1: be it. But I would rather have a healthy Matt 481 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,400 Speaker 1: Stafford than a healthy Jalen Hurts. So I think Stafford 482 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 1: being ahead of him is fine. Jaden is tricky because 483 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:57,840 Speaker 1: Jaden the sample size is just such good another year, right, 484 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 1: so you know what I mean, Like Jaden is it 485 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,840 Speaker 1: was the greatest rookie season ever, but the sample size 486 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:11,040 Speaker 1: is so small, and it feels like Jalen is a 487 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:16,799 Speaker 1: safer bet. But Jaden has you know, Jayden has a 488 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 1: better chance of one day being number one on this 489 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:23,960 Speaker 1: list than Jalen. Right, Herbert we've talked about. I think 490 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 1: having Herbert above Hurtz is an outrage. I think it's 491 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,880 Speaker 1: I think that is just purely based on an idea 492 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,759 Speaker 1: I would not have. And then barely ahead of him 493 00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 1: is Jared Goff. I would rather have Jalen Hurts than 494 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,759 Speaker 1: Jared Goff because I think they are very similar in 495 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,640 Speaker 1: that under the right circumstances can be very dynamic and 496 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:50,400 Speaker 1: a huge part of winning. But I think Jalen could 497 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:55,040 Speaker 1: thrive in more circumstances than Golf. So I think Jalen's 498 00:35:55,120 --> 00:36:03,200 Speaker 1: toughness and running would translate better to a bad team 499 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 1: than Jared. So I think Jared on a bad team 500 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:17,319 Speaker 1: plummet wild exactly and so and so I understand the 501 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:21,640 Speaker 1: So if I were doing it, if it were mine, 502 00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:23,759 Speaker 1: and I know, I know that this is one where 503 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:27,720 Speaker 1: I've probably kind of over the last six months flip 504 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:32,319 Speaker 1: flopped a bit because at one point I said that 505 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:37,920 Speaker 1: you can't like it's Mahomes Alan Lamar, and then if 506 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,399 Speaker 1: you're gonna say it's a big four with Burrow, it's 507 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,040 Speaker 1: got to be a big five with Jalen. But even 508 00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,440 Speaker 1: when I was saying that, deep down, I was like, 509 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,680 Speaker 1: but I think Stafford's better. So if I were to 510 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:57,759 Speaker 1: just do the nick right rankings, pure just me who 511 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:08,600 Speaker 1: I would like for this season, assuming health, Patrick, Josh Lamar, 512 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:17,879 Speaker 1: Joe Stafford. I want to make sure I'm not leaving 513 00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 1: anybody out, and then I would put in Jailing. I 514 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:32,920 Speaker 1: would put in jail In at six, Jalen six, Jaden seven, 515 00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:40,160 Speaker 1: Baker eight, and then it gets and then it gets 516 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:44,440 Speaker 1: and then after that we could have a debate about 517 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:48,719 Speaker 1: Herbert versus golf. But that's where I would you know 518 00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:50,080 Speaker 1: what I mean, That's where I would have it, and 519 00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:56,280 Speaker 1: then after them, we have a debate about CJ versus 520 00:37:56,400 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 1: Love versus Dak and then obviously I'm gonna start elevating 521 00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:08,400 Speaker 1: my guys Caleb and Trevor, but they gotta prove the 522 00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:17,680 Speaker 1: and so that's where that's where I would rank them, 523 00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:21,479 Speaker 1: and I I think that is so I didn't think 524 00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:30,640 Speaker 1: any of these were crazy out of line. The all right, 525 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:31,560 Speaker 1: let's go to Rogers. 526 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:33,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was about to say, do you want to 527 00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:36,040 Speaker 2: talk about Rogers going from tier one to tier three? 528 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:41,879 Speaker 1: So I was shot that Rogers was tier one. Oh 529 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:48,719 Speaker 1: so he so this has been wait what okay, So 530 00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:53,800 Speaker 1: this is what's interesting. So here is Rogers over the years. 531 00:38:55,160 --> 00:39:03,399 Speaker 1: So Rogers going into his final in Green Bay unanimous 532 00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 1: Tier one, obvious. I think he was the back to 533 00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:13,280 Speaker 1: back defending League MVP, unanimous Tier one. Rogers going into 534 00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:18,680 Speaker 1: his first year with the Jets thirty Tier one, twenty 535 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:23,879 Speaker 1: tier two. That again, to me was fair. I would 536 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,160 Speaker 1: have put in tier two because I thought his last 537 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:29,680 Speaker 1: year in Green Bay, you saw the writing on the wall, 538 00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:34,560 Speaker 1: and you saw it in evidence by his stats. You know, 539 00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:39,200 Speaker 1: the team's success, a lot of that stuff, but he 540 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,200 Speaker 1: was still just a year removed from being a two 541 00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:46,920 Speaker 1: time MVP going into last year with the Jets. This 542 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:53,280 Speaker 1: was a very interesting looking back on it. Voting going 543 00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:58,520 Speaker 1: Demonse going into last year again where he was coming 544 00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:04,920 Speaker 1: off the blown Achilles, he got twenty three Tier one votes. 545 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,640 Speaker 2: It's like, all, poor guy toar his Achilles and he's 546 00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:09,560 Speaker 2: gonna be fine. 547 00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:13,200 Speaker 1: Right, He's gonna come back with a vengines, eighteen Tier 548 00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:19,920 Speaker 1: two votes, seven Tier three votes, and two Tier four votes. 549 00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:24,040 Speaker 1: I'd have to ask Sando, and I could probably go 550 00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:25,960 Speaker 1: back and read the article. I'm not gonna do it 551 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:30,160 Speaker 1: right now live on the air. Was he the first 552 00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:36,080 Speaker 1: player ever to get multiple votes in four different tiers? 553 00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:40,880 Speaker 1: To get you know, multiple Tier one and Tier four votes? 554 00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:45,520 Speaker 1: So last year going into last year, I so he 555 00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:49,040 Speaker 1: ended up averaging out. That was interesting. Last year he 556 00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,720 Speaker 1: got more votes for Tier one than any other tier, 557 00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:55,640 Speaker 1: but he averaged out to a Tier two player quarterback. 558 00:40:56,080 --> 00:41:00,520 Speaker 1: And this year so weird. 559 00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,399 Speaker 2: Now the guy that gave him a tier he got 560 00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:05,880 Speaker 2: one Tier one vote this year too, by the way. 561 00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,320 Speaker 1: Oh I clicked the wrong thing. Okay, not so weird. 562 00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:10,880 Speaker 1: So this year he got one Tier one vote. That 563 00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:15,000 Speaker 1: guy's out of his mind. Yeah, I mean that's just idiotic. 564 00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:20,560 Speaker 1: He got sixteen Tier two votes. I can't call that idiotic, 565 00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:24,919 Speaker 1: but I disagree. Twenty seven Tier three votes, just where 566 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:28,720 Speaker 1: I would have him, and then four Tier six or sorry, 567 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,080 Speaker 1: six Tier four votes, which is folks that think that 568 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:37,040 Speaker 1: he's just finished, right, but where he is as far 569 00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:44,160 Speaker 1: as in the hierarchy. So Tier three quarterbacks are in order, Kyler, 570 00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:53,720 Speaker 1: Aaron Tua, Trevor, Gino Nicks, Darnald May, Caleb, Bryce Kirk. 571 00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:59,919 Speaker 1: Those are the Tier three for me personally, the quarterbacks 572 00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:05,319 Speaker 1: I would rather have than Aaron, every single one of 573 00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:10,040 Speaker 1: the guys Tier one and two, so that's fourteen, and 574 00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:19,000 Speaker 1: then I would rather have this year Gino, Drake, Caleb, 575 00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:34,440 Speaker 1: Trevor Tua, and that's probably it, not Bo Nicks, not Kyler, 576 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:39,879 Speaker 1: and not Darnald or Bryce or Kirk. So I would 577 00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,920 Speaker 1: have him closer to the middle of Tier three. Go ahead. 578 00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:49,200 Speaker 2: Apparently Rogers was actually number two and Tier two number 579 00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:53,800 Speaker 2: seven overall. Yeah last year, Oh okay, okay, that's. 580 00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,799 Speaker 1: Yeah last year, so he he that's what I was saying. 581 00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:02,840 Speaker 1: Last year. He last year, he got more votes, he 582 00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:06,040 Speaker 1: got more Tier one votes than any other tier but 583 00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:11,799 Speaker 1: because he also got like a four votes. He he 584 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,399 Speaker 1: got you know, ding down and dropped to tier two. 585 00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:18,880 Speaker 1: But yeah, so I would have him close to twenty. 586 00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:30,320 Speaker 1: They have him fifteen. The Kyler one's interesting because I 587 00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:35,959 Speaker 1: think having Kyler at the almost a tier two guy 588 00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:43,200 Speaker 1: and ahead of all those other guys, the young players 589 00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:45,640 Speaker 1: that you know you expect to pop, ahead of Gino, 590 00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:49,879 Speaker 1: ahead of Rogers, I think it is interesting. I mean, 591 00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,680 Speaker 1: I just wouldn't. I just don't. 592 00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:54,279 Speaker 2: He's like low tier three. 593 00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:57,799 Speaker 1: Yeah to me is but maybe I'm low on him, 594 00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:03,440 Speaker 1: but I I just you give him credit because last 595 00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:07,160 Speaker 1: year he was able for the first time in four 596 00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:12,440 Speaker 1: years to play all seventeen. But I just feel like 597 00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:15,040 Speaker 1: at this point we kind of know what we're getting 598 00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,560 Speaker 1: from Kyler, and he's a player that. 599 00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,640 Speaker 2: Once you don't like him he's too small. 600 00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:30,719 Speaker 1: Well, there is that, but it's also true that once 601 00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:36,920 Speaker 1: you start seeing Thanksgiving decorations up at the stores, you 602 00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,359 Speaker 1: know he's not going to be playing well. I mean, 603 00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:42,279 Speaker 1: it's just who he's been for his career. He's good 604 00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:46,600 Speaker 1: for about the first half of the season, and that 605 00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:52,160 Speaker 1: to me is like, I don't know why that would change, 606 00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:58,520 Speaker 1: like the and so I think that I'm not as 607 00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:04,360 Speaker 1: high on Kyler. I respect the talent, but I care 608 00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:07,760 Speaker 1: You're right about this demonte. I care about raw talent 609 00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:11,400 Speaker 1: way less with very small players. I just do. 610 00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:14,360 Speaker 2: I mean that was like the best high school football player, 611 00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:16,600 Speaker 2: like ever a football quarterback. 612 00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:22,760 Speaker 1: Yea, the best? Yeah, I mean, no, he's the best. 613 00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:25,080 Speaker 1: And he was a hell of a college player as well, 614 00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:28,759 Speaker 1: and he's had moments in the pros. And maybe it 615 00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,080 Speaker 1: was as simple as high school and college seasons or 616 00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:35,399 Speaker 1: twelve games long. You know what, mark this down. If 617 00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:38,879 Speaker 1: we ever have another strike shortened NFL year, I might 618 00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:42,920 Speaker 1: bet on Kyler. They come back and they're like, oh, 619 00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,680 Speaker 1: it's only a ten game season plus the playoffs this year. 620 00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:50,040 Speaker 1: I might be a Kyler guy that year since but 621 00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:54,520 Speaker 1: that is, but for the time being, I would have 622 00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:55,600 Speaker 1: him low tier three. 623 00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:58,520 Speaker 2: Do you want to get to that last one or 624 00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:02,160 Speaker 2: I want to just the Oh yeah, what are some 625 00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:04,920 Speaker 2: quarterbacks you see in going up a tier this year? 626 00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:08,120 Speaker 2: And who are some quarterbacks you see going down a tier? 627 00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:10,720 Speaker 1: All right, so let me look at the full list again. 628 00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:15,640 Speaker 4: I've opened this thing up so many times that now 629 00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:19,480 Speaker 4: I've got I've got two tabs. I do this sometimes, 630 00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:25,440 Speaker 4: all right, So let me the so let me maximize 631 00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:25,839 Speaker 4: this so. 632 00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:36,800 Speaker 1: I can look at this better. I think that going 633 00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:44,960 Speaker 1: up a tier so gosh, this is a tough one. 634 00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:52,800 Speaker 1: I think that Caleb will be Tier two going into 635 00:46:52,840 --> 00:47:01,880 Speaker 1: next year. I think that Right will be off the 636 00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:08,239 Speaker 1: list because I think he'll be done. I think that 637 00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:14,160 Speaker 1: Perty will probably be Tier three. He's hanging on for 638 00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:17,359 Speaker 1: deer life in Tier two right now. And I don't 639 00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:19,600 Speaker 1: think the Niners are going to be excellent this year. 640 00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:26,400 Speaker 1: And I think that who do I think could jump 641 00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:30,799 Speaker 1: into Tier one? You know what I'm gonna I might 642 00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:36,560 Speaker 1: go all in on this team this year. Bake Show. 643 00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:43,040 Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, I think the I think the the Bucks 644 00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:47,399 Speaker 5: could have a monster offensive season and that I think 645 00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:54,560 Speaker 5: potentially could elevate Baker and especially if if Stafford is dinged. 646 00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:58,280 Speaker 1: You know, if Stafford. I think Stafford was very weird 647 00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:01,640 Speaker 1: for Stafford who had been Tier two demons for eleven 648 00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,440 Speaker 1: straight years and then this is the year he gets 649 00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:09,200 Speaker 1: elevated when he wasn't great last year's regular season. It 650 00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:12,000 Speaker 1: was awesome in their two platforms, but wasn't great in 651 00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:12,920 Speaker 1: last year regularly. 652 00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:16,879 Speaker 2: Jordan Love I love to tier I mean, but two 653 00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:18,720 Speaker 2: to one to two. 654 00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:20,960 Speaker 1: To one's hard, you know what I mean, Like, that's 655 00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:25,960 Speaker 1: the I am curious, Like, let me ask you this 656 00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:29,480 Speaker 1: and the answer might be none of the above, But no, 657 00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:31,680 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna allow that. You have to say a 658 00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:38,040 Speaker 1: name of the four guys who were all either unanimous 659 00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:44,280 Speaker 1: or close to it Tier one, Patrick, Joe, Josh Lamar. 660 00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:51,600 Speaker 1: Who do you think is that most risk, most risk 661 00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:52,719 Speaker 1: to move down? 662 00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:55,200 Speaker 2: I think it'd be Joe Burrow, just because if they 663 00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:59,680 Speaker 2: don't make the postseason again this year, then so what 664 00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:01,680 Speaker 2: are you, like, what are we gonna say at this point? 665 00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:04,000 Speaker 2: I mean, maybe it's the defense again that. 666 00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:07,000 Speaker 1: I agree, but I think it's for a different reason. 667 00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:09,880 Speaker 1: I think the only thing that could move Joe down 668 00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:13,320 Speaker 1: is if he gets hurt again. And I think given 669 00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:17,080 Speaker 1: their offensive line and given his history, I think he's 670 00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:20,120 Speaker 1: the most obviously, of the big four, he's the most 671 00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:23,319 Speaker 1: likely to miss. Yeah, yeah, you know, and so I 672 00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:27,600 Speaker 1: that would be my answer. All right, let's talk shudor Tador. 673 00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:29,839 Speaker 2: He looked pretty good. I mean, he look fantastic, but 674 00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:32,000 Speaker 2: he looked pretty good for a quarterback. Went there and 675 00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:36,799 Speaker 2: did his thing. Head coach Steven Kevin Stefanski still hasn't 676 00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:39,360 Speaker 2: committed to Shador, So, uh, do you think that he 677 00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:42,000 Speaker 2: showed everything he needed to do to get the starting job? 678 00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:46,600 Speaker 1: What do you well? He's definitely not going to be 679 00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:50,080 Speaker 1: their Week one starter. That is gonna be Joe Flacco. 680 00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:54,080 Speaker 1: I don't even think. By the way, if I were Shador, 681 00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:57,319 Speaker 1: I know he can't say this, I wouldn't even want 682 00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:02,000 Speaker 1: to be the Week one starter. Like I the the 683 00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:07,760 Speaker 1: Browns open with the Ravens and then they play I'm sorry, 684 00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:10,320 Speaker 1: the Brown's open with the Bengals, so I wouldn't actually 685 00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:12,840 Speaker 1: hate that because of the Bengals defense, But then they 686 00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:17,719 Speaker 1: go Ravens, Packers, Lions, Viking Steelers, Like those are not defenses. 687 00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:23,960 Speaker 1: I'm interested in playing it right off, exactly right. And 688 00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:27,240 Speaker 1: I understand that the Browns just released their latest depth 689 00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:30,200 Speaker 1: chart and Shador is still number four. They did not 690 00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:35,239 Speaker 1: move him up at all. I don't believe it. I 691 00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:42,920 Speaker 1: think that Shadoor has now, if we are being fair, 692 00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:49,560 Speaker 1: he has taken it is now Dylan Gabriel who is 693 00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:53,440 Speaker 1: chasing Shador in the quarterback competition instead of vice versa. 694 00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:58,359 Speaker 1: Like the the you know the old adage you don't 695 00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:02,040 Speaker 1: lose your job due to end is total bs happens 696 00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:05,640 Speaker 1: in sports all the time. People lose their job because 697 00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:08,440 Speaker 1: of injury and because the guy who fills in for 698 00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:11,840 Speaker 1: you shows something he didn't have the opportunity to show before, 699 00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:18,280 Speaker 1: and so FLA. If Flacco is just entrenched at one, 700 00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:23,719 Speaker 1: which I think he is, Kenny Pickett was two and 701 00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:27,720 Speaker 1: is two on the late step chart. He's been hurt 702 00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:30,399 Speaker 1: the last couple weeks of camp. Doesn't look like he's 703 00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:32,320 Speaker 1: gonna play at all, and there he didn't play in 704 00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:34,200 Speaker 1: their first preseason game. Doesn't look like he's going to 705 00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:38,719 Speaker 1: playing their second. Dylan Gabriel is three. Gabriel, according to 706 00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:41,480 Speaker 1: all reports on the ground, has been bad in practice 707 00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:46,359 Speaker 1: and was injured for the first preseason game. Shadores four. 708 00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:53,520 Speaker 1: He's practiced well and I thought made four very high 709 00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:57,400 Speaker 1: level throws in that game and really only made a 710 00:51:57,440 --> 00:51:59,359 Speaker 1: couple bad mistakes. 711 00:51:59,800 --> 00:51:59,880 Speaker 5: And. 712 00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:05,000 Speaker 1: So I think that is enough to where he should 713 00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:08,080 Speaker 1: have taken the lead on Gabriel, and the goal for 714 00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:13,839 Speaker 1: either of these rookies flatly needed to be beat out 715 00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:20,760 Speaker 1: the other rookie. So when at when Flacco inevitably gets benched, 716 00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:24,440 Speaker 1: I'm the guy they go to. Now, maybe they'll go 717 00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:27,239 Speaker 1: to pick it, but I think that would be asinine, 718 00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:32,399 Speaker 1: and so now I also think this Demanse. I think 719 00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:37,960 Speaker 1: Gabriel will and should start preseason game number two, and 720 00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:40,960 Speaker 1: then you know he can if he plays well. 721 00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:42,279 Speaker 2: And just get both of them half. 722 00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:45,759 Speaker 1: I think that's what we'll do. I could even see 723 00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:50,640 Speaker 1: him go, Demanse, quarter quarter, quarter quarter, you know what 724 00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:54,760 Speaker 1: they're thereabouts, like, I could see Gabriel playing then should, 725 00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:58,279 Speaker 1: or then Gabriel back in then should or that way, 726 00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:01,320 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, You get more time with 727 00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:04,800 Speaker 1: starting caliber players, or you know, guys that are actually 728 00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:07,040 Speaker 1: gonna make the team, or they each get it. But 729 00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:11,720 Speaker 1: I now think Gabriel, I think Shador is now amongst 730 00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:17,799 Speaker 1: the rookies in pole position. And I also think that, 731 00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:23,240 Speaker 1: and this is why so I thought after the game 732 00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:28,080 Speaker 1: him saying something to Tony Grosey was totally fine. And 733 00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:33,120 Speaker 1: I think people don't recognize how common that is that 734 00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:38,200 Speaker 1: guys sang after games in locker rooms are in the 735 00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:41,080 Speaker 1: tunnel to reporters like, hey, what was up with that? 736 00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:43,520 Speaker 1: That has happened forever? That used to happen to me. 737 00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:48,640 Speaker 1: I remember Matt Cassel saying to a different media member, 738 00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:53,120 Speaker 1: we're both standing there when he realized that media member. 739 00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:55,000 Speaker 1: You know what, I think it was to Mark Carmon, 740 00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:58,880 Speaker 1: our friend whose birthday was actually yesterday. I think it 741 00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:02,400 Speaker 1: was to karm that he said to him, this is 742 00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:05,600 Speaker 1: your buddy about me. He's like, yeah, He's like, he 743 00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:08,680 Speaker 1: sure talks a lot of shit, doesn't He like did 744 00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:11,040 Speaker 1: not like some of the things I had said about him. 745 00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:14,399 Speaker 1: That's super common. So I have no problem at all 746 00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:17,640 Speaker 1: with Shador having that moment with Tony Grossi. 747 00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:20,919 Speaker 2: At this time, though, what you need to be worried about. 748 00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:28,000 Speaker 1: So here is the thing on that. I think the 749 00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:31,080 Speaker 1: smile and the laugh at the end made it okay. 750 00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:35,880 Speaker 1: And I think that like charisma and charm and a 751 00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:41,200 Speaker 1: great smile can really carry Yeah, and so like that 752 00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:45,120 Speaker 1: to me was fine. I thought the walk in was 753 00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:50,120 Speaker 1: a misstep. I didn't think it was a grievous error, 754 00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:56,280 Speaker 1: but I thought, I'm not asking you to be someone 755 00:54:56,360 --> 00:55:01,360 Speaker 1: you're not. But turned down the volume on literally on 756 00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:06,840 Speaker 1: the boombox, I guess and also figuratively. Now I understand 757 00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:10,439 Speaker 1: those were his teammates, not his entourage, but still, you're 758 00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:14,920 Speaker 1: the quarterback, the guy carrying the giant walking stick staff 759 00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:17,719 Speaker 1: in the boombox. I might have been like, can we 760 00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:19,520 Speaker 1: not do that? And if you really want to walk 761 00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:21,160 Speaker 1: in like that, maybe I'll go in, you know, a 762 00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:28,400 Speaker 1: little bit after you, because it's he is. If the 763 00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:34,000 Speaker 1: Browns won't elevate him on their real depth chart, then 764 00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:39,360 Speaker 1: he also wants another team to trade for, you know, 765 00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:44,000 Speaker 1: And so I just don't think that helps. But I 766 00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:48,399 Speaker 1: don't think it's a huge deal. You'd certainly rather him 767 00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:52,759 Speaker 1: play well and have an awkward pre and postgame, then 768 00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:54,920 Speaker 1: be perfect pre and post game and play port right, 769 00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:56,200 Speaker 1: go ahead? 770 00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:58,640 Speaker 2: No, I mean with that take, you were saying that 771 00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:01,319 Speaker 2: maybe he should show out for the Rams or maybe 772 00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:03,960 Speaker 2: the Rams look at him, because words like a mortal 773 00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:08,560 Speaker 2: chamber are being thrown around. Ye very serious. Yeah, I 774 00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:11,160 Speaker 2: don't know. So, uh do you think that's more of 775 00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:14,160 Speaker 2: a possibility now, like it's more serious. 776 00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:19,040 Speaker 1: I think that right now he's probably worth He was 777 00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:21,279 Speaker 1: drafted with a fifth. I think he's worth at least 778 00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:25,000 Speaker 1: a fourth, you know what I mean? And so, but 779 00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:27,120 Speaker 1: I don't I think the Browns want to keep him. 780 00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:32,719 Speaker 1: I think Stefanski might be coming around if he wasn't 781 00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:36,239 Speaker 1: already there. And I think you had to be impressed 782 00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:41,440 Speaker 1: by how he handled himself. And how he played Uh 783 00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:46,880 Speaker 1: this Sunday? Was it Sunday? Saturday? Friday? 784 00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:48,920 Speaker 2: It was Friday Friday. 785 00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:53,480 Speaker 1: All right, hey guys, talking about my friends at boost Mobile. 786 00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:57,200 Speaker 1: Ever signed up for a phone plan, thinking wow, great price, 787 00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:59,959 Speaker 1: and then a few months later it's like surprise, bill 788 00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:02,920 Speaker 1: even higher.

All right, demon's eight, Let's go 800 00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:50,280 Speaker 1: to Caleb. We talked enough Chiefs earlier, so we can 801 00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:52,080 Speaker 1: move on to Caleb if we can. 802 00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:55,400 Speaker 2: Caleb Williams did not play it down in the preseason game, 803 00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:57,880 Speaker 2: and Ben Johnson is not worried about that at all. 804 00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:00,880 Speaker 2: He said and quote, there is no substitute for real 805 00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:03,400 Speaker 2: live bullets. I get that. But at the same time, 806 00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:05,800 Speaker 2: when you can accumulate seventy plus reps in a day, 807 00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:09,160 Speaker 2: that's pretty good. If live action is the best option here, 808 00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:10,400 Speaker 2: then why why. 809 00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:15,760 Speaker 1: Not plays guys? So listen, I I think, and I've 810 00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:18,840 Speaker 1: said this on TV a dozen times, so I will, 811 00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:23,280 Speaker 1: you know, repeat myself here. I think in certain sometimes 812 00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:26,400 Speaker 1: you hear like, you know, to copycat league, certain things 813 00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:30,800 Speaker 1: should be copied. The way Andy Reid handles training camp 814 00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:35,600 Speaker 1: and preseason should be copied. The Chiefs every year are 815 00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:39,040 Speaker 1: sharper to start the year than most of the rest 816 00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:42,320 Speaker 1: of the league. Andy runs a tough training camp, they hit, 817 00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:47,560 Speaker 1: they have long practices, and Patrick plays in the preseason 818 00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:50,480 Speaker 1: and the starters play and they're ready to go. So 819 00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:53,800 Speaker 1: I would copy that, all right a lot. You know, 820 00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:56,960 Speaker 1: Sean McVay, who I you know, I think is the 821 00:58:57,040 --> 00:59:00,600 Speaker 1: second best coach in football, does the exact op and 822 00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:03,640 Speaker 1: has for years, puts guys on ice and you know 823 00:59:03,760 --> 00:59:08,360 Speaker 1: that's that. So there's obviously not a perfect way to 824 00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:14,320 Speaker 1: do it. I would copy andies. With that said, everyone 825 00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:20,360 Speaker 1: is making this a Caleb story. Ben Johnson did not play. 826 00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:25,680 Speaker 1: They have four they left tackles not determined yet for 827 00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:28,880 Speaker 1: the Bears starting left tackle, so they played everybody who's 828 00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:33,360 Speaker 1: competing for that. There are other offensive line spots left guard, center, 829 00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:36,120 Speaker 1: right guard, right tackle. We know who the starters are. 830 00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:40,400 Speaker 1: Those guys played zero snaps. They're starting running back played 831 00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:44,760 Speaker 1: zero snaps. They're starting tight end played zero snaps, and 832 00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:48,840 Speaker 1: their three top receivers played zero snaps. If you are 833 00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:54,880 Speaker 1: deciding institutionally the starters aren't playing, then you obviously can't 834 00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:57,560 Speaker 1: throw Kaleb out there. Now, I canna throw Kaleb out 835 00:59:57,560 --> 01:00:01,240 Speaker 1: there behind your second and third string offensive line and 836 01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:04,480 Speaker 1: be like, all right, figure it out, buddy, now. Uh 837 01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:09,560 Speaker 1: Like Drake may played, he played through five passes. I 838 01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:12,600 Speaker 1: do think when you do it this way, it means 839 01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:18,000 Speaker 1: preseason game two Caleb should play a fair amount. And 840 01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:22,800 Speaker 1: do I think that they are hiding Caleb. 841 01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:23,280 Speaker 2: No? 842 01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:30,200 Speaker 1: Do I think that Ben wants nothing but positive vibes 843 01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:33,840 Speaker 1: headed into the season, and after using the training camp 844 01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:37,480 Speaker 1: to kind of break guys down a bit, he wants 845 01:00:37,520 --> 01:00:41,080 Speaker 1: a little more time to build them back up before 846 01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:45,360 Speaker 1: we Before people see them. I do think that. But 847 01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:51,240 Speaker 1: do I think that there was that this decision was 848 01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:56,960 Speaker 1: based on how Caleb has played thus far this training camp. 849 01:00:57,080 --> 01:01:07,240 Speaker 1: I do not, And so I think that he had 850 01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:11,560 Speaker 1: made his decision on how he's going to play his 851 01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:15,360 Speaker 1: guys this training this preseason, and he's trying to stick 852 01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:18,520 Speaker 1: to it. Now we'll see how well that works. But 853 01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:24,360 Speaker 1: I I you know, Colin had a great take on this, 854 01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:28,280 Speaker 1: even though I disagreed with it, which is, let me 855 01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:32,200 Speaker 1: read you the exact caption of it, because I thought 856 01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:36,600 Speaker 1: it was so funny. Hold on, and then there's a 857 01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:39,840 Speaker 1: good shams little sham's note that I'm going to read 858 01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:43,040 Speaker 1: you guys in a second as well. So here's what 859 01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:50,960 Speaker 1: Colin said, uh yesterday about Caleb. Uh gosh, don it 860 01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:56,720 Speaker 1: sorry here. Oh, when tech companies delay the release, it's 861 01:01:56,800 --> 01:02:01,560 Speaker 1: usually because you're still in the beta stage. Colin's way 862 01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:04,680 Speaker 1: of saying he's not ready for the bright lights, I 863 01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:08,200 Speaker 1: think that is probably too harsh, and I think that, 864 01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:13,480 Speaker 1: But I do think that the first month of the 865 01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:16,760 Speaker 1: season could be a little rocky. I do like the 866 01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:20,480 Speaker 1: regular season. I don't think he's gonna come off, you know, 867 01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:23,600 Speaker 1: flying out of the gate. Maybe he will, but I 868 01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:27,440 Speaker 1: think that I believe in Caleb's talent, and I think 869 01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:30,680 Speaker 1: Ben Johnson's very sharp offensive mind, and I think the 870 01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:33,680 Speaker 1: Bears patched their holes on the offensive line. So I 871 01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:37,600 Speaker 1: think they'll be fine, but I uh. 872 01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:40,640 Speaker 2: Not doing their best to make it the most fine 873 01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:41,520 Speaker 2: he could possibly be. 874 01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:45,800 Speaker 1: Well, I don't know about the season. I mean again, 875 01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:48,760 Speaker 1: he obviously wants them to be as good as possible, 876 01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:52,920 Speaker 1: as early as possible. Maybe he's wrong, but he thinks 877 01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:59,320 Speaker 1: that this is the right path. We'll see. So Scham's 878 01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:04,840 Speaker 1: just tweeted. Wick Grousbeck will no longer stay on as 879 01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:07,720 Speaker 1: governor of the Celtics as part of the celtics six 880 01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:11,680 Speaker 1: point one billion dollar sale to Bill Chisholm. Playing had 881 01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:15,160 Speaker 1: been for Grousbeck to remain through twenty twenty eight. Chisholm 882 01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:19,680 Speaker 1: assumes governor title and the transfer will be finalized soon. Guys, 883 01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:25,280 Speaker 1: this is Cuban sells the team and he's like, I'm 884 01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:30,640 Speaker 1: gonna run it though, and he's out immediately. Grousbeck sells 885 01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:32,600 Speaker 1: the team and it's like, no, but I'm gonna run 886 01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:35,360 Speaker 1: it for the next couple of years, and he's out immediately. 887 01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:40,360 Speaker 1: Jeanie Buss sold the team, and everyone's like, oh, but 888 01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:44,840 Speaker 1: she's gonna stay in charge for five years, We'll see 889 01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:51,080 Speaker 1: people tend not again. I am not over under two 890 01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:57,280 Speaker 1: business psychologist, and I don't run in billionaire circles. But 891 01:03:57,840 --> 01:04:07,960 Speaker 1: in my limited experience, people don't spend ten eleven figures 892 01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:13,000 Speaker 1: on something to not be in charge of it. It's 893 01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:20,040 Speaker 1: just not People don't buy a sixty dollars video game 894 01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:24,720 Speaker 1: to not play it. They don't buy a six billion 895 01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:28,640 Speaker 1: dollar basketball team to let someone else make the decisions. 896 01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:34,200 Speaker 1: And so I was skeptical when I saw Cubans say 897 01:04:34,240 --> 01:04:37,400 Speaker 1: it years ago. I was even more skeptical when I 898 01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:41,040 Speaker 1: saw what Grusbecs say it. And I am extra skeptical 899 01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:47,360 Speaker 1: about Genie Buss running the Lakers for five years after all. 900 01:04:47,200 --> 01:04:51,360 Speaker 2: Of this for under two though two years. 901 01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:57,320 Speaker 1: Oh Demonse, wait, look at this throw it on the screen. 902 01:04:57,440 --> 01:04:58,320 Speaker 2: Oh my god. 903 01:04:59,160 --> 01:05:03,800 Speaker 1: Packers quarter Jordan Love is undergoing a procedure on a 904 01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:07,840 Speaker 1: ligament issue with his left thumb. A left thumb suffered 905 01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:12,760 Speaker 1: the injury in Green Bay's preseason opener. The team is 906 01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:15,560 Speaker 1: hoping Love can return to practice next week, and the 907 01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:18,080 Speaker 1: Packers are expecting to be ready for the regular season opener. 908 01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:21,680 Speaker 1: Left thumb is not as much of a concern, right, 909 01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:24,840 Speaker 1: A surgery on the right thumb would be highly concerning. 910 01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:27,800 Speaker 1: Here's the thing, though, As I've said before, I don't 911 01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:34,600 Speaker 1: I don't trust insider injury reports. Every every surgery's out 912 01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:40,000 Speaker 1: of schedule. Every body avoided disaster, Everyone's gonna be ready 913 01:05:40,040 --> 01:05:45,120 Speaker 1: week one. I just I have a hard time digesting it. 914 01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:49,800 Speaker 1: Anybody seen Najieris. I saw a picture of Najiras. Looks 915 01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:53,600 Speaker 1: like he can't open an eye, and so I I 916 01:05:53,960 --> 01:05:57,920 Speaker 1: just know for real that picture of Najieras was scary looking, 917 01:05:58,280 --> 01:06:02,680 Speaker 1: looked like he really hurt his eye with the fireworks, 918 01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:06,880 Speaker 1: and so I just I hope he's fine because last 919 01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:11,880 Speaker 1: year got a little derailed. Is too strong. Last year 920 01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:15,520 Speaker 1: got off to uh, he didn't have the year a 921 01:06:15,560 --> 01:06:17,160 Speaker 1: lot of people thought he was gonna have, and a 922 01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:19,840 Speaker 1: lot of people thought that was because he suffered that 923 01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:23,760 Speaker 1: injury early on. All right, Demanta, let's go to the 924 01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:25,520 Speaker 1: listener questions. 925 01:06:26,920 --> 01:06:29,880 Speaker 2: T asked, where do you think Alan Lamar rank all 926 01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:33,520 Speaker 2: time right this moment? Just his quarterback talents, I'd say 927 01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:37,280 Speaker 2: both top fifteen side question, are the smelling salts going 928 01:06:37,320 --> 01:06:38,320 Speaker 2: to ruin? Your life. 929 01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:40,800 Speaker 1: Smelling salts are not going to ruin my life. But 930 01:06:41,680 --> 01:06:45,160 Speaker 1: you know, strong recommend if people haven't tried him yet, 931 01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:48,160 Speaker 1: especially if you're like maybe trying to kick caffeine or 932 01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:52,360 Speaker 1: something like. I haven't read into the potential downsides of 933 01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:55,120 Speaker 1: huff and pneumonia occasionally, but it sure woke me up. 934 01:06:58,320 --> 01:07:04,360 Speaker 1: Where do Lamar and Allen and ranked just as quarterback talents? 935 01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:11,840 Speaker 1: What an interesting question? Top fifteen sounds right like if 936 01:07:11,840 --> 01:07:15,800 Speaker 1: I were ranking just quarter just raw talent. 937 01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:18,680 Speaker 2: Quarterbacks. 938 01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:22,439 Speaker 1: Ever, that's what Yeah, that's what they're saying, saying all time. 939 01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:30,800 Speaker 1: Mahomes Rogers are to me the top two. 940 01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:36,120 Speaker 2: Lamar's got to be like top ten at least any 941 01:07:36,280 --> 01:07:38,400 Speaker 2: same thing. But I feel like both those guys, those 942 01:07:38,440 --> 01:07:41,120 Speaker 2: are electric dudes as far as this talent like that, 943 01:07:41,240 --> 01:07:41,840 Speaker 2: maybe not one. 944 01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:48,840 Speaker 1: Those are, Yeah, so I think safely so raw talent 945 01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:56,520 Speaker 1: Mahomes Rogers, Farv has to be up there. Manning has 946 01:07:56,600 --> 01:08:02,000 Speaker 1: to be up there. Uh. It's a compliment to Brady 947 01:08:02,040 --> 01:08:04,000 Speaker 1: that we're not even like saying him with all of 948 01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:07,960 Speaker 1: his success, because you know, he maximized everything about his 949 01:08:08,040 --> 01:08:12,440 Speaker 1: physical ability. Marino's got to be up there. I always 950 01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:17,240 Speaker 1: have had a soft spot for Steve Young. John Elway's 951 01:08:17,360 --> 01:08:23,880 Speaker 1: up there, and now we can start talking Lamar and Josh, 952 01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:27,439 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like, so, yeah, the in 953 01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:31,360 Speaker 1: that bottom part of the top tens firmly in the 954 01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:33,840 Speaker 1: top fifteen. I think that's right. All right, let's go 955 01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:34,360 Speaker 1: to Ethan. 956 01:08:35,080 --> 01:08:38,120 Speaker 2: Ethan asked, as a poker expert who understands the principle 957 01:08:38,160 --> 01:08:41,920 Speaker 2: of the plus ev. I'm curious if you take the 958 01:08:41,960 --> 01:08:44,880 Speaker 2: same approach into sports gambling, or if you trust your 959 01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:47,120 Speaker 2: own personal bias over sharp books. 960 01:08:47,680 --> 01:08:51,639 Speaker 1: I don't look at I don't look at sports betting 961 01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:54,160 Speaker 1: the way I look at poker. Just for the record, 962 01:08:54,439 --> 01:08:57,240 Speaker 1: like I don't. I don't, while I do try every 963 01:08:57,320 --> 01:09:02,120 Speaker 1: year to give out winners and and to you know, 964 01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:08,360 Speaker 1: make you guys money. I I am. 965 01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:11,400 Speaker 2: A little bit more conservative with poker. 966 01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:15,040 Speaker 1: No, I don't know a bit you No, I just 967 01:09:15,080 --> 01:09:22,240 Speaker 1: look at it like poker. I am trying to make 968 01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:28,880 Speaker 1: the best decision at every point. Sports I have a 969 01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:34,640 Speaker 1: very hard time betting against my takes, you know what 970 01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:37,960 Speaker 1: I mean. I won't always bet on my takes, but 971 01:09:38,280 --> 01:09:42,320 Speaker 1: like I it's why I'll I'll never even if I'm 972 01:09:42,360 --> 01:09:45,160 Speaker 1: getting points bet against the chiefs. You know, what I mean, 973 01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:48,320 Speaker 1: so like, there are just certain things that so that's 974 01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:52,439 Speaker 1: but I also I and I this is how I 975 01:09:52,439 --> 01:09:55,479 Speaker 1: would recommend it for other people look at sports betting 976 01:09:55,560 --> 01:09:59,559 Speaker 1: as a recreational endeavor, not like, hey, this is how 977 01:09:59,560 --> 01:10:03,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna make extra money. Poker's different in that regard 978 01:10:03,439 --> 01:10:05,679 Speaker 1: for me.
