1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:01,960
Speaker 1: The volume.

2
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 2: What is going on, my people? How are we doing?

3
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: I said, you know what, the Commanders beat the Lions,

4
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: got to do a podcast, and that's what I did,

5
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: so Reaction pod to just watched. It's about ten o'clock

6
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: the number one seed get bounced in Detroit. The Commedis

7
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: and Jaden Daniels headed to the NFC Championship game for

8
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: the first time since nineteen ninety one, which is a

9
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: long time, which ironically last year was the first time

10
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: the Lions had been to the NFC Championship since nineteen

11
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: ninety one because that's when they played each other. But

12
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: other than that, we will talk about the chiefs, the officiating.

13
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: I'm sure everyone's up in arms, but also Demiko, who

14
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: I love, and the Texan's not taking advantage of when

15
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: they were playing well, So we will dive into those

16
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: two games. Mike Tomlin, the Bears and.

17
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 2: We had talked.

18
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: Hell, I'd throw it out like the Bear should try

19
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: to trade for him. They clearly sniffed around, but doesn't

20
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: look like that's gonna go anywhere. And yeah, that'll basically

21
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: be the show. So make sure you subscribe Three and

Speaker 1: can catch that on on Collins YouTube page or his

30
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: podcast feed. But let's dive into some football. Start with

31
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: this game. And I've been thinking about as it was like,

32
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: the Lions are gonna lose, and it's like, well, what

33
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: are we going to lead the show with? What's the

34
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: headline of this game? And I think big picture? And

35
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: this is what makes sports so cool, is like, if

36
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: this is a movie, you'd go, well, last year they

37
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: got to the brink and they lost the Niners. This

38
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: year they win fifteen games. They honestly with the Commanders forever.

39
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: But unlike the Commanders, they didn't get a new owner.

40
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: The Ford family still owns the squad, but they did

41
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: hire the right people and it was like, this is

42
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: gonna be their year. I don't know if they were

43
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: gonna win the Super Bowl, but the Lions are gonna

44
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: go to the super Bowl. The Detroit Lions are gonna.

45
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 2: Go to the super Bowl.

46
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: But this isn't a movie, and there isn't a happy ending.

47
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: This isn't Rudy coming off the edge and getting a sack,

48
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: or remember the Titans winning the last game.

49
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 2: This is sports.

50
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: This isn't Reality TV, even as much as people that

51
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: watch Chiefs games think it is.

52
00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 2: This is not scripted.

53
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: Anything could happen on any given moment, and tonight the

54
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: Lions imploded. Jared Goff threw multiple interceptions, one that scored

55
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: a touchdown for the Commanders, another one that was caught

56
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 1: in the end zone. He also had a fumble their

57
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: wide receiver through an interception, which was honestly the backbreaking

58
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: play of the game. But if I told you that

59
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: the Commanders would average well over six yards of play

60
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: and that the Lions would throw three interceptions and lose

61
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: a fumble, there's just no way you can win. And

62
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: this was the question mark before the Vikings game where

63
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: you went, listen, man, is their defense gonna be good enough?

64
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: Is their defense gonna be good enough? And you saw

65
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: tonight it simply was not. But in games like this,

66
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: your offense has to be perfect. You might have to

67
00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: score forty plus points, but their offense wasn't perfect. Jared

68
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: Goff imploded and played one of the worst games I

69
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: can remember him having in years, in a spot where

70
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: clearly they could not afford to have him do that.

71
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,839
Speaker 1: And then because you know, his play was all over

72
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: the map, it felt like Ben Johnson, I don't know,

73
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 1: got a little cute. I don't know if he was

74
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: showing off for Tom Brady hoping there'd be a sixty

75
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: seventy million dollar offer on the table for his services

76
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: tomorrow from the Raiders, or it's just what he does.

77
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 1: Because in fairness to him, they run a lot of

78
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 1: trick plays. But when you're in a position and you're down,

79
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 1: you know, by ten points, and you got the ball

80
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: and it's in the second half, I'm not sure a

81
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: double pass is the right play because when you do

82
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: that stuff, I would say, typically, no matter what you

83
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: coach the wide receiver to do, if he's not open,

84
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 1: eat it, if he's not open, throw it away. I

85
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: think that gets coached into those players.

86
00:04:58,640 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 2: All the time.

87
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: But what usually happens the skilled guy wants to make

88
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: a play. He wants to throw the ball and he

89
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,119
Speaker 1: threw it right to the dB and it essentially ended

90
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: the game right there. But like this game, isn't that complicated?

91
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: We can you know, I do this a lot as well.

92
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: We crush coaches for being cliche, for being just the

93
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: coach speak answers in these press conferences. But there is

94
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: a reason you hear over and over and over again.

95
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: We cannot lose the turnover battle. We cannot lose the

96
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: turnover battle. They have been saying it since the history

97
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: of the sport, because it usually kills you. Now, there

98
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: are moments in certain games where you can get away

99
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: from it. You cannot avoid it in playoff games because

100
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: you're not only playing the best teams, you're typically playing

101
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 1: the best quarterbacks. And we'll get into Jayden. It turns

102
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: out he looks like a fucking Hall of Famer. But

103
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: when you turn the ball over that many times, you

104
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: got no shot, and then when you factor in your

105
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: defense is awful. I mean, Amik Robinson, who had been

106
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: playing really, really well for him last or two weeks

107
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: ago against the Vikings, did an excellent job against Justin Jefferson.

108
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: Think he got a game ball right, and he has

109
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 1: played really really well for them this season. Shattered his

110
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: arm early in that game. You're like, they cannot overcome this.

111
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: They were already at, you know, at a tipping point

112
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: of like this is a law of diminishing returns and

113
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: we are well past it. And then Jared Goff starts

114
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: throwing to the other team. You're like, listen, I didn't

115
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: expect a rookie quarterback to be as good as he was.

116
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 1: But if I told you to begin the game that,

117
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: I'm not even going to count the last interception, but

118
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 1: he would throw a pick six, he would throw another

119
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: pick in the end zone, and he would have a fumble,

120
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: so he'd a returnovers. They're not gonna win like that.

121
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 1: They can't win like that. We saw them in a

122
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: game late in the season against the forty nine ers

123
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: on that Monday night, and it was the same situation. Touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown.

124
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 2: No one was punting.

125
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: The only way you're gonna lose in games like that

126
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: is turning the ball over. Why the Niners lose pretty

127
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: through a couple interceptions, and to me, that's one hundred

128
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: percent the difference in the game. And obviously the Lions

129
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: defense was atrocious night. They could not stop a soul

130
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: beside the one play where I don't know if it's

131
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: like a tush push quarterback sneak with like three options

132
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: or Mariota just tried to add lib. I kind of

133
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: hope he tried to add lib But if he was

134
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: looking to pitch it to Jaden who was in the shotgun,

135
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: I think it might have been an option. My guesses

136
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: and listen, you probably hear they might talk about it

137
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: in the press conferences. Is that like it's an option play.

138
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: He can either go forward if he sees or flip

139
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: it to Jaden. But when that play happened, you're like, hey,

140
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: you know, Dan is kind of you know, I mean,

141
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn, like Dan Campbell, they will go for it relentlessly.

142
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: And then as the game went on, every single fourth

143
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: and short and they were always in fourth and short,

144
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,559
Speaker 1: they were in fourth and sixes, they were in fourth

145
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: and two's, fourth and ones, fourth and threes.

146
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 2: They were odd tomatic.

147
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: You never had one thought in the back of your head,

148
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: and by the second one, if you're a Commander fan,

149
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: you're like, we're getting these that there is no way

150
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: they're going.

151
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 2: To stop us.

152
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: We can do a quarterback play action run first down.

153
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: We can have Jayden drop back, hit Zach Ertz, hit

154
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin, run for it, do whatever, we are going

155
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 1: to get this first down. And it just kept happening

156
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: and happening and happening.

157
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 2: And there was a drive. You know, they had long drives.

158
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 2: They had long drives.

159
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: Of like ten plus plays, six seven minutes. It's like

160
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: you just can't afford there is you know in football

161
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: when they are running the ball down your throat, and

162
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: tonight it felt like how many yards did the Comedi's

163
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: run for? One hundred and eighty three yards? One hundred

164
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: and eighty three yards, So you have I'm not going

165
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: to count the last turnover, but two picks and a

166
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: fumble and they're running for one hundred and eighty plus

167
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 1: yards and they're controlling the clock thirty three to twenty six.

168
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: That's hard, man. That is really really hard to overcome,

169
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: especially when you factor in I mean, obviously their quarterback

170
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: was a huge running threat, but that's a big kick

171
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: in the nuts if you're the Lions. Because as Schefter said,

172
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: I think he said it multiple times this week, he

173
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: reiterated it when I saw him say it this morning.

174
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: These two guys are getting jobs. We don't know exactly

175
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: where Ben Johnson's going. Is he gonna end up with

176
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: the Bears. Schefter made it seem like, don't discount the Jags. Obviously,

177
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: the Raiders are all in trying to get him. Ben

178
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: Johnson is gone, and by all accounts, Aaron Glenn is

179
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 1: gone as well. And sometimes and listen a couple of

180
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: years ago when the uh the Chargers couldn't stop a

181
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: soul in the second half of that game to the

182
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: Jags that was on Brandon Staley. His guys had no

183
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: fucking clue where to go. I remember it was blown

184
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: coverage after blown coverage after blown coverage. It's like these

185
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: defensive players have absolutely no clue what he's calling tonight.

186
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: Like guys are close, guys are there, They're just not

187
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: good enough. And this is what happens when you get

188
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: the attrition of the amount of injuries they had. Aaron

189
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: Glenn is clearly an excellent defensive coordinator in his style.

190
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: Because they're so undermanned, he had to be really aggressive

191
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: and there were countless times when the game was like

192
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: seven to ten points, so the Commanders hadn't taken off

193
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: where he's blitzing guys off the right side, and because

194
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 1: Jaden is such a great athlete, he was just able

195
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: to run away and he made so many plays tonight

196
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: with his feet that weren't just quote unquote designed runs.

197
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 2: It was lamar ish.

198
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, nothing's here, nothing's here.

199
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 2: I'm out.

200
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna gain six yards, I'm gonna gain eight yards,

201
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna gain ten yards. I'm gonna keep these move

202
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: the chains.

203
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 2: Let's keep rolling.

204
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: And there's nothing you can do about it. That's tough.

205
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: That's tough. And I think if you're a Lions fan,

206
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: for as awesome as this is for the Commanders fans,

207
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: and it should just be an incredible moment. This You

208
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: just won your fourteenth game this season, You're in the

209
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 1: NFC Championship Game for the first time since nineteen ninety one,

210
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: and no one saw this coming At this time last year,

211
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: they had the number two overall pick in the draft.

212
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 1: I'm not even sure as of January eighteenth, was Dan

213
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: Quinn officially their hire. Maybe Adam Peters had been hired,

214
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure. I don't have to google when

215
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: they even hired the guys. I'd say there's a fifty

216
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: to fifty chance that neither guy was even hired at

217
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: this point in time, and if one was, it was

218
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 1: probably Adam. But I think the Lions lost is worse

219
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: than their great win because this is the first time

220
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: that Washington has made the NFC Championship Game since nineteen

221
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: ninety one. Nineteen ninety one, I'm forty years old. In

222
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety one, I was seven. That is a long

223
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 1: time ago. But remember last year was the first time

224
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: that I think it was the first time ever the

225
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions won multiple playoff games. It was the first

226
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: time I think since nineteen ninety one. Also because they

227
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: played Washington in the game, so you were looking at

228
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: two franchises that hadn't sniff success in so long. But

229
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: the difference is Detroit. The expectations were there this year

230
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: because they were in the game last season.

231
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 2: At this point in time, last year, they were.

232
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: Headed to the NFC Championship Game. This was gonna be

233
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: their year. Their coaching staff had been there forever. They

234
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: have three head coaches on their fucking staff, dan Quinn,

235
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson, and Aaron Glenn. They have an all star

236
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: lineup on offense, so even if their defense sucks. We

237
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: are going to score on every drive. And you notice

238
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: the first drive of the game, it's like they had

239
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 1: to punt.

240
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 2: You're like, huh, that's a little weird.

241
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: That's a little weird, and let's face it, it was

242
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: just off. And by the time they had to call

243
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: that double pass, you know, from Jamison Williams, it almost

244
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: felt like Ben Johnson had lost his confidence in Jared Goff.

245
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,439
Speaker 1: They can say whatever they want, but I never judge

246
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: a human being on their words. Words to me don't

247
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: mean shit. I judge you your actions. And his actions

248
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: calling that play in that spot was like and listen,

249
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 1: I get they like trick plays, but was kind of,

250
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: you know, a direct reflection of golf, and it felt

251
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: like they had kind of jumped off as bandwagon, which

252
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 1: to me is crazy because he had given you three

253
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: years of playing at a really high level. And it's

254
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: the opposite with Washington. They treat Jayden Daniels, who I

255
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: saw Jim Rome tweet this out. He thought that Jaden

256
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: Daniels is the greatest rookie quarterback he'd ever seen. He's

257
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: got to be on the short list. And when you

258
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: factor in that most rookie quarterbacks that become that go

259
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: on to have all time great careers. I mean, when

260
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: you think of the great quarterbacks in the NFL, Tom

261
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: Brady did not play as a rookie. Peyton Manning was

262
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: terrible as a rookie, John Lway, Joe Montana, Dan Marino,

263
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: I can't speak to their rookie years. Brett farrv was

264
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: a backup in Atlanta as a rookie.

265
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 2: Steve Young.

266
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: Was on Tampa Bay. It did not go well. Aaron

267
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: Rodgers was sitting right. Patrick Mahomes did not play as

268
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: a rookie beside the last game of the season in Denver.

269
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: He's just Josh Allen wasn't good as a rookie. Lamar

270
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: was good but didn't start the whole time. It's just

271
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow shattered his leg. Justin Herbert had a really

272
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: good rookie season, but his team didn't make the playoffs.

273
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: So I think when you look, Roethlisberger's team went far

274
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: as a rookie, but he wasn't that good and their

275
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: team was built about avoiding him. Dak Prescott had a

276
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: really good season as a rookie, but they lost in

277
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: this round. So pretty special. Shit, man, these guys changed

278
00:15:52,200 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: the franchise overnight changed Washington overnight. Dink Allen's saying, that

279
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: is this franchise like the Lions. This is what we

280
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: said last year, what they accomplished, Like, that's insane. You

281
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: did that to the Lions, what they did with this team,

282
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: And it's really because of Jayden Daniels. I don't think

283
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: their defense is that good. Like in two years, how

284
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: many guys on this defense are gonna be starting for

285
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: that defense? The corner from Michigan, maybe a D lineman,

286
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: a couple of dbs maybe. I think this isn't like

287
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: it's insane.

288
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 2: Now.

289
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: Mclaurin's an excellent player. The touchdown he had the night

290
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: was badass. Terry McLaurin is a stud. But you know

291
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: that kind of got a running back group by committee.

292
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: Eckler's a good little change of pay scap back. McNichols.

293
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 2: Adam Peters loves that guy.

294
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: Brian Robinson I'm a fan of, but he clearly fell

295
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: out of favor though he had a touchdown the night.

296
00:16:58,120 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 2: Ertz is my age.

297
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: So it's it's insane that they are in the NFC

298
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: Championship game with this roster. And it's simple like quarterback.

299
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,719
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of talk about in Caleb.

300
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: I saw today he was at like a USC game.

301
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: He's got a cast on his arm. It's because like

302
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: he removed a cysts or something. I mean, the chances

303
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: that in five years Caleb Williams has two playoff victories,

304
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 1: Like what he's already just accomplished immediately as a rookie

305
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 1: is pretty insane. Like the lead he has on his

306
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,959
Speaker 1: draft class. And it's obviously he's a special athlete and

307
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: he's got a big arm, but when you watch him

308
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: play quarterback, you're like, he's not. He is a running quarterback,

309
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 1: but he doesn't really play like a running quarterback on

310
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: so many pass plays where he just sits in the

311
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: pocket like a true pocket guy and throws these absolute

312
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: seeds and darts right over the middle of the field.

313
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: Hitdn't get in stride on like third and long or

314
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: second and long or fourth and four.

315
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 2: It's like, how.

316
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: Calm, cool and collected is this guy. It's amazing to

317
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: watch as just a fan of football. It is insane

318
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 1: how calm this guy is in these moments. He's on

319
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: the road in Detroit. I can't even imagine. I mean,

320
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: right when he comes out for the first drive, he's

321
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: going like this, he's trying to hear and his team's

322
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: not as.

323
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 2: Talented as who he's playing. And it doesn't even matter.

324
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 1: He was the best player on the field tonight by

325
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: a country mile, Like who would you even say was

326
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 1: the second best player on the field. He was dominant

327
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: and clearly and listen, you know it's a new school

328
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 1: way of thinking, always going forward on fourth down.

329
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 2: Now.

330
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: Granted, their kicker sucks, and one thing Brady mentioned in

331
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,199
Speaker 1: the second half, like you're playing with house money, Like, no, Tom,

332
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: they have a ten point lead in the second half

333
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 1: of the second round of the playoffs. Yet most people

334
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: probably thought they'd win seven eight games and be a

335
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: successful season. But that's no longer house money. That is,

336
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: we've taken like one thousand dollars to the blackjack table

337
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: and now we have fifty k So it's like, yeah,

338
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: just if you blow a little bit, what, No, you

339
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: have fifty thousand dollars you started with one thousand, Like,

340
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: let's let's be smart about this. We want to go

341
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: home with fifty thousand dollars. If you want to bet

342
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,479
Speaker 1: a couple more Koka, but at minimum you're going home

343
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: with like forty seven. You cannot lose this game. Going

344
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: into this game one hundred percent, you're playing with house money.

345
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 2: The moment you have a.

346
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 1: Ten point lead at halftime and your quarterback looks like

347
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,919
Speaker 1: he's in a different universe than Jared Goff. You had

348
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 1: to win it, and they did, and they dominated, and

349
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: you know, you talk about a storybook kind of ending,

350
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: and obvious their season is not over. I mean, they

351
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: have gonna have a legit chance to be in the

352
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. They are gonna have to go on the

353
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: road again. Right so tomorrow night or I guess tomorrow

354
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 1: day afternoon, whoever wins that Rams Eagles game is hosting.

355
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 2: The NFC Championship Game.

356
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: And I think if you're the Commanders, I think most

357
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 1: people would say, oh, they'd rather play the Rams.

358
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 2: I don't know.

359
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you're pretty comfortable playing the Eagles, Like, you

360
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 1: know their schemes, You've coached against them twice, you watch

361
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 1: cross tapes so often throughout the season. Because of the division,

362
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: there is just a huge, huge comfort level there. I

363
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 1: think if you just pulled the average NFL fan, they

364
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: would say the Rams, it's gonna be hard regardless and

365
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: who knows, like could so far even host a game

366
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: next week that they could in a week ago.

367
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 2: Can they do it now? I mean they're still fires ripping.

368
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:57,719
Speaker 2: Maybe they could. I don't know.

369
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 1: We will find out, I guess if they win. But

370
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: I don't think you'd be intimidated to play the Eagles,

371
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 1: even though you would be a big underdog, because, like

372
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: we had talked about the house money thing, you would

373
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: have house money going into the game until you would

374
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: be winning the game or something at halftime and there's

375
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: no longer house money. Then you're actually playing to go

376
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl. This was the thing with the

377
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: Lions last year. It was like when Dan Campbell went

378
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: forward on fourth and whatever instead of kicking the field goal.

379
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 1: It's like, Dan, this is no longer house money.

380
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 2: This is a game to go to the super Bowl.

381
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: If you kick this field goal, you will be up

382
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:40,719
Speaker 1: seventeen points. Last time I checked, that takes three offensive

383
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: drives to get seventeen plus points. They can't tie the

384
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: game with two drives. You have a huge advantage. And

385
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 1: last year kind of bit him in the ass. So

386
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: you could argue looking at Dan Campbell like yeah, this sucked.

387
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: I can't even imagine being in that lion's locker room.

388
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: I can't even imagine being Dan Campbell knowing you're gonna.

389
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 2: Lose your two coaches.

390
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: But you could argue, looking back on last year, the

391
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: opportunity was there to put a knife in the throat

392
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 1: of the San Fransco forty nine ers. I don't know

393
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: if you've watched that Cowboy and Indian show that Tim

394
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 1: Riggins from Friday, and that lights plays this dude who's

395
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 1: taking this chick across the country. It's basically like John

396
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: Wick meets the eighteen fifties. It's incredible. People just get

397
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: killed like every five minutes, but sometimes just you gotta

398
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 1: go for the kill shot. And tonight I felt like

399
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: every time the commander's never relented. But end of the game,

400
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: it's like okay, And it's different scenarios, not apples to apples,

401
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: like no, we gotta kick a field goal here, we're

402
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: not going for it. We're going up seventeen unless end.

403
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: Now he missed the field goal, but that was one

404
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 1: d PC the right move. It would end the game

405
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: like this thing that there is absolutely no shot. So

406
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 1: what a moment. And this is why we like sports

407
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: and football because you never know. Stucky and I talked

408
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: about it and he was really hammering this home.

409
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 2: He's like, this.

438
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: the NFCAFC Championship game seven straight year. I do think

439
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: the headline of this game and listen. It's not like

440
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: the Texans deserve to win the game. There were three calls,

441
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 1: definitely two and another moment. They were pretty outrageous. Now

442
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: I am all four protecting quarterbacks. They carry the league

443
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: in terms of entertainment, at least the good quarterbacks. I

444
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,640
Speaker 1: don't give a shit about the bottom fifteen. Those guys

445
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 1: should not get flags. No one would care when they

446
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: miss games. No one misses them, but all the Pro Bowl,

447
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: high end guys all four, protecting them all four. I

448
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: am four Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, Jayden Daniels,

449
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,199
Speaker 1: Jared Goff being in the game. I mean tonight for

450
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 1: a split second when Jared Goff got rocked and didn't

451
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: get a penalty, and he thought, if that was Patrick Mahomes,

452
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: they would have thrown three flags and it would have

453
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: been a one hundred yard penalty. But he didn't get anything.

454
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 1: You thought he got a concussion, he was gonna be

455
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: out and they were gonna have to play with Teddy Bridgewater,

456
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: who was literally coaching high school football like.

457
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 2: Three weeks ago.

458
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: I think he won Miami State championship. Kind of crazy

459
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: that he was even the backup. Pretty questionable indictment on

460
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 1: Hendon Hooker, who I said, if Ben Johnson gets a job,

461
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: he should take him with him. But that's a conversation

462
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 1: for another day. So I'm all for it protecting the quarterbacks.

463
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: But there were two moments today that I think we've

464
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 1: jumped the shark. And people push back on this about

465
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, that the refs and the league are in

466
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:26,439
Speaker 1: the tank for the Chiefs. Now, one thing that is

467
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: not debatable the Chiefs are the number one rated team

468
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,360
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I read an article like halfway through

469
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,919
Speaker 1: the season they were rating higher this year than the Cowboys.

470
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 1: They are doing astronomical numbers when they're on television. They

471
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 1: have the current most famous player in the league, and

472
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes obviously their second most famous player is dating

473
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: one of the most famous human beings on the planet.

474
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: That they are a ratings bonanza. And when I was

475
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: a kid, the Sacramento Kings couldn't beat the Lakers. And

476
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: then it came out later that one of the ref

477
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: for rees was working for the Mob and helped the

478
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: Lakers make it to the NBA Finals. And there were

479
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: always rumors about how David Stern wanted to fuck the

480
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,919
Speaker 1: smaller markets to make sure the Lakers were in the

481
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: primetime games. Now, from a business perspective, if I was

482
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 1: David Stern, I would have done the same thing because

483
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: it was better for business if the Lakers were in

484
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 1: the NBA Finals, then the Sacramento Kinks. But I hate

485
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: the fucking Lakers. I wanted the Kings to win, and

486
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 1: I remember that infuriated me. And as I got older

487
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 1: and you find out the details, you're like they never

488
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 1: had a shot.

489
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 2: Made you even more mad.

490
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: But then you get even older and you realize, well,

491
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: from a business perspective, totally get it.

492
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 2: It's about moving the needle.

493
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 1: And I think most people think that the Chiefs are

494
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 1: these games are rigged. And I think they watched today

495
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,439
Speaker 1: and that's gonna be a huge conversation for people that

496
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 1: aren't Chiefs fans.

497
00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 2: Here's what I do know.

498
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: It is great for business.

499
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 2: When people hate.

500
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 1: You, you either want them to be hate you or

501
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: love you. You want nobody in the middle. You want no apathy.

502
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,679
Speaker 1: That's bad for business. And the one thing the Chiefs

503
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: do right now is they create emotion. The Lakers have

504
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:17,919
Speaker 1: done this forever, and the Yankees do this, and the

505
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 1: Cowboys started to diminish.

506
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 2: They used to do it a lot more.

507
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: But when I say the Kansasity Chiefs, I evoke some

508
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: sort of emotion into a football fan, and there's a

509
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: lot of hatred in people rooting against them right now.

510
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,199
Speaker 1: That's a good thing for the business of the NFL.

511
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: Do I think that they told the referees to make

512
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: sure to call plays or call fouls when guys get

513
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: close to Patrick Mahomes. I don't necessarily think they do.

514
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 2: They do that.

515
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: I do think these referees when they officiate Patrick Mahomes

516
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: are just basically officiating scared and are so quick to

517
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: throw the flag. Will Anderson did not touch his helmet.

518
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: It should not have been a fifteen yard penalty. The

519
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: second one, the two Texans players helmet to helmet each other.

520
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes didn't even get touched. But to me, the

521
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: most egregious thing today, and this is where the NFL

522
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: needs to step in, and Patrick Mahomes has been doing

523
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: this for years, is when he went to the sideline

524
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: and he was running to get out of bounds and

525
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: then he stopped. He's manipulating the rules. He has turned

526
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: into Chris Paul James Harden when it comes to getting

527
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: fouls on the sideline and he got shoved. Now they

528
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: ended up not throwing a flag, thank god. But he's

529
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: too great of a player and too important to the

530
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: league to be doing that stuff. The league does need

531
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: to step in and end that right now. And honestly,

532
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: I'd have no problem if you do that. That's a

533
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: fifteen yard penalty on the offense that cannot happen. But

534
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: I'm also not gonna sit here and act like you

535
00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: know what, the Texans should have won. The game is

536
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: their game to win. Demiko is a great coach, and

537
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: I saw a headline today from rap Sheet about Robert Sala,

538
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,479
Speaker 1: who somehow is getting a million interviews. Like, guys, I

539
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: like Robert Sala, I root for my bald brother. I'd

540
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: hire him as my defensive coordinator. He was a fucking

541
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: terrible head coach, I mean, completely over his head as

542
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: a head coach. Interviewing as a head coach to me

543
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: seems insane, but rap Sheet basically said is like no

544
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:33,719
Speaker 1: wonder everyone's interviewing Sala. He was once Dimiko's mentor, and

545
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: Demiko says that he learned everything from him, and that's

546
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: don't I think there's some truth to that. He was

547
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 1: a mentor to Demiko Ryans as a younger coach, But

548
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: there is not one team in the NFL who would

549
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: hire Robert Sala over Demiico Ryans obviously as a head coach,

550
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: let alone a defensive coordinator.

551
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 2: Demiko's really good.

552
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: I think Demiko is easily I think we saw two

553
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: of I don't know the top two or three defensive

554
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: coaches in the league in Spags in Demko going at

555
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: it in that game. Demiko is an elite defensive coach

556
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: and he had the boys ready. Now they have a

557
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 1: lot of talent and their front obviously the Chiefs offensive

558
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: line can be a little iffy, was dominating the line

559
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: of scrimmage early on. Patrick was running around for his life.

560
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: But there were two moments in that game that just

561
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: made me go to Miko that this cannot happen. One

562
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: early in the game, he kicked a field goal into

563
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: the wind, which did not even have a chance. If

564
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: it was a golf hole, the ball would be out

565
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: of bounds. It was really, really bad. It was a

566
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: fifty five yard field goal. You can't do that in

567
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: a field position game against Kansay Chiefs. And then late

568
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 1: in the game, it was twenty to twelve and as

569
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: Aikman is screaming at the television, I guess he's on television.

570
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: He's screaming through the television call time out. I don't

571
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: like this. Call time out, and he didn't, and it

572
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: probably should have been a delay a game. And the

573
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: play got all the men up and it wasn't even close.

574
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: I got no problem necessarily going for it, and I

575
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: have a rule of thumb. I'm not a big call

576
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: time out guy in the second half for a delay

577
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 1: of game, but this is the playoffs and that play

578
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: was essentially your season. So you either got to take

579
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: the delay a game and then choose to punt or

580
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: call time out.

581
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 2: And he didn't either.

582
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: So like situational awareness in time management, which is something

583
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: that Andy used to get crushed for. Who's he's now

584
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: elite at that. And Demiko a young coach who is

585
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: a stud if you know, I saw Harbaugh say the

586
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: big Cats say, hey, anyone's selling justin Herbert Stock, I

587
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: will buy all of it. I will keep accumulating Demiko

588
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: Ryan Stock. He is an excellent young coach. If he

589
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: was an offensive guy, we would talk about this guy.

590
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: I mean shit, everyone blows Kevin O'Connell. He's never won

591
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 1: a playoff game. Demiko's won two and two years so

592
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: and went toe to toe to day with the champs.

593
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: But you gotta be better than that. And he said

594
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: after the game, like we knew coming into this game

595
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: everyone would be against us ay Ei the refs, and

596
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:15,479
Speaker 1: it was true, but that can't happen. That was a

597
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: moment that just you gotta be better because in this game,

598
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: like you're out playing them. You're at one point in

599
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: time that I think they had one hundred more yards offense.

600
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 1: They just look like the better team, and everyone's saying that, well,

601
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: that's great, But this is games, not like scored from

602
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: the twenty to the twenty or on time of possession.

603
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: There is a scoreboard.

604
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 2: So when you.

605
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: Don't have the lead and you're down in a game

606
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: or losing in a game, especially in a playoff situation,

607
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: no one cares that you're out playing them. That sounds great,

608
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: and that to me means stuff in the regular season

609
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: because ultimately, over the course of a month, that will

610
00:33:58,480 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: turn into wins.

611
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 2: But this you get.

612
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: This is not a seven game series. This is a

613
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 1: sixty minute game. So I can be out playing my

614
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:12,320
Speaker 1: opponent all they want, all I want. If it's thirteen

615
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 1: to three, who cares. Obviously their kicker melted down, you know,

616
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: missed the field goal into the wind. Then they come

617
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: out of halftime and this is Demko shines again. Squad

618
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 1: is ready. They have a long fifteen play drive tech

619
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,240
Speaker 1: takes up ten minutes on the clock. They got five

620
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: first downs off third downs on this drive, meant they

621
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 1: were either in third and five, third and three, and

622
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: they converted it five different times, scored a touchdown to

623
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: make it it was gonna be thirteen to thirteen misses

624
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 1: the kick and then you're like, God, something just off

625
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: about the Texans. Something is just off. Now later that's

626
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: what happened with the uh when Patrick slid or whatever

627
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: and the two guys fly over him and they call

628
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 1: the penalty, which was egregious. Was and there's no I'm

629
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: not going to argue around that, but I'm also not

630
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 1: going to act like, you know, the Texans didn't screw

631
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 1: themselves countless times throughout this game, but like, this is

632
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: what we thought about the Chiefs all season. And Mahomes

633
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 1: was asked after the game, like was this rust because

634
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 1: you guys didn't play and he said, no, they're a

635
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: big time defense. And I don't think he's wrong. Will

636
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 1: Anderson is a badass. Like you watched today, You're like,

637
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,359
Speaker 1: I get why Will Anderson went third overall last year.

638
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: I get why Jayden Daniels went second overall this year.

639
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 1: Shit should have gone one. You watch Jamiir Gibbs, You're like,

640
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,760
Speaker 1: no wonder the Lions drafted him in the top fifteen.

641
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: That guy play that plays anytime any day. Someone tweeted

642
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 1: at me that he looked like what everyone thought Reggie

643
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: Bush coming out of USC was actually gonna look like

644
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL. That's Jamier Gibbs. Like, that's a pretty

645
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 1: good one. So the high end talent on the Texans,

646
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: and I said this coming into the game, like they

647
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 1: have some flaws. Their offensive line is a major question mark.

648
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: And you saw today the Chiefs have I think I

649
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:10,800
Speaker 1: don't know if it was the first or second sack.

650
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,320
Speaker 1: I mean he was sacked. How many times was CJ

651
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: sacked today? Eight sacked? Eight times? Eight sacks? I'm sorry,

652
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: that just can't happen. What happened when they move Chris

653
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: Jones out to defensive end over the right tackle and

654
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: he smoked them for a sack. George Karlovskis, who is

655
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: just a good, high energy, just a really good starter,

656
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: was just all over his ass all game long. I

657
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: think he ended the game with three sacks. You cannot

658
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 1: win a playoff game against the kanc Chiefs when you

659
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,439
Speaker 1: get a couple of bad calls go your way. When

660
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: your quarterback get sacked eight times, it just can't happen.

661
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 1: Especially when you're running the ball pretty well. The Texans

662
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 1: ran for one hundred and fifty yards, Mixon's averaging five

663
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 1: yards of carry. But what happened today, It's.

664
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:10,959
Speaker 2: Like he's washed. He's washed.

665
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 1: He's washed, like, just wait for the playoffs, wait for

666
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 1: the playoffs. And he's not as fast as he used

667
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 1: to be. It was evident on his big how long

668
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 1: was his big play forty nine yards? He probably scores

669
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: on that five years ago. He might score on that

670
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 1: three years ago.

671
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 2: His speed, if.

672
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 1: It was once for a tight end like a nine

673
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: out of ten, it's probably like a six and a

674
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 1: half now. But his instincts in space, when you get

675
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: eighty seven the ball, to make a guy miss, to

676
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 1: break an arm tackle, you can't teach what he.

677
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 2: Brings to the table and the other thing.

678
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 1: And this is where Chris Jones karloskis now is. I mean,

679
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: this is Carlosa's third year. All George knows the Super

680
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 1: Bowls and being one seats and kicking the shit out

681
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 1: of everybody. That's all these guys know. So you are

682
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:05,320
Speaker 1: playing people that have just unlimited playoff experience at the

683
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 1: highest level, and no one has more than Patrick and Travis.

684
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 1: So when you get those guys in big spots and

685
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: you know what basically was, you know, the game winning

686
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 1: score when Travis or when Patrick's about to get sack,

687
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 1: goes down on his knees and throws the ball to

688
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 1: Kelsey and people go like, how does he always get open?

689
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: Why could no one cover him? Because they're not like

690
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:27,800
Speaker 1: running specific routes.

691
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 2: He's not.

692
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,320
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a five yard curl, this is

693
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: gonna be like a seven yard in route.

694
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 2: This is gonna be that.

695
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: He's just freelances based on what you do. So if

696
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:42,359
Speaker 1: you have zone concepts, he is just gonna find the

697
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:46,800
Speaker 1: opening and sit in it. And Patrick knows exactly where

698
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 1: he's going to go. So when you're at practice and

699
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: these guys are hammering home like, hey, this is where

700
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: they like to go against these defenses, this is where

701
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 1: he likes to go, you have no clue. You could

702
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: think Key might sit there if you're sitting as an underneath,

703
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 1: you know, middle of the field spot dropper as a linebacker.

704
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 1: But if you're cheating the wrong way, he'll go the

705
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: other way. The they're not running, it's like it's like basketball,

706
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: It's like a fluid situation where you watch the Lions,

707
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: like everyone's running specific place right, like this guy's doing this,

708
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:23,879
Speaker 1: this guy's doing that, and the other guy's doing that.

709
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 1: Like Travis just running a route out in the middle

710
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 1: of the field and he's gonna find the empty grass.

711
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: So if you're cheating the left, if you're cheating the right,

712
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna go the opposite way. And he does it

713
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: over and over and over again in all these big games,

714
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 1: because think about the heightened intensity of a playoff game.

715
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:43,800
Speaker 2: You're extra focused.

716
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 1: All these linebackers, do your assignment, don't fuck up. This

717
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 1: is where I gotta be. These are my keys. This

718
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 1: is what I'm looking for. And you're just you're just

719
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 1: playing high level football and then you're you're basically playing

720
00:39:56,719 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 1: checkers and he's playing chess. What today, seven catches for

721
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: one to seventeen in a touchdown, I think they said

722
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 1: on the broadcast is ninth game with over one hundred yards.

723
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 1: And you know, the Chiefs have a huge advantage that

724
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 1: they get basically a twenty four hour rest before the

725
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 1: other team plays, and then whoever wins that game, if

726
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 1: it's Baltimore, they got to fly home. Then they got

727
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 1: to fly again to Kansas City, and if it's Buffalo,

728
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 1: they just have a long travel. Now, I think you know,

729
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 1: it's gonna feel like more than likely. We'll see how

730
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:33,439
Speaker 1: the Eagles look. That the super Bowl will be played

731
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 1: in the AFC. Obviously, the Eagles to me are the

732
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: probably the.

733
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,760
Speaker 2: Team that could beat one of those three teams.

734
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 1: I have a hard time not trying to burst anyone's bubble,

735
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 1: But I could I see the Commanders beating the Chiefs,

736
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 1: Ravens or Bills. Could I see the Rams beating one

737
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 1: of those teams?

738
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 2: I can't.

739
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 1: I could see the Eagles if Jalen's playing good, But

740
00:40:56,160 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 1: if Jalen's playing bad and AJ's reading you know, the

741
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,760
Speaker 1: inner game of Tennis or whatever the fuck he's reading,

742
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 1: no chance. So yeah, man, Lions lose Commies first time

743
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: since ninety one, and the Chiefs seventh championship game since

744
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. So it shows you how polar opposite the

745
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 1: Chiefs are to like the Commies. Commi's like, yeah, we

746
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 1: haven't been in this game since nineteen ninety one. Patrick

747
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, it was there last year. Then I

748
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 1: was there the year before, then the year before and

749
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 1: then the year before that. And I think the year

750
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: before that, and oh and the year before that. I

751
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 1: guess we can end on this. I was hoping that

752
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 1: the Bears would do what was reported that they did,

753
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 1: and honestly, the more I thought about it, is like,

754
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:59,319
Speaker 1: of course they would not be doing their job if

755
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 1: they didn't call the Pittsburgh Steelers.

756
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,359
Speaker 2: I think there's two.

757
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:05,760
Speaker 1: It's like a double edged sword here with Mike Tomlin

758
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 1: on one side. I really respect him because in a

759
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 1: business where it's a shady.

760
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 2: Business, from the teams.

761
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 1: From the coaches and their agents, you do whatever you

762
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: can to survive and make sure you get as much

763
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 1: money as possible.

764
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:24,240
Speaker 2: For as long as possible.

765
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 1: So if you were just looking at like I think now,

766
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 1: we have to acknowledge as long as he has a

767
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 1: winning season, regardless how it ends, he's just going to

768
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 1: keep his job in perpetuity. Maybe if he ever had

769
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 1: like a four win season, anything would be on the table.

770
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: But as long as his team's win in nine plus games,

771
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin's not gonna get fired.

772
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 2: But there has to be an.

773
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 1: Element of most coaches I think would do this, like,

774
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:49,799
Speaker 1: you know what, I don't really think I can win here.

775
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to jump to the Bears, where they do

776
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 1: have a young quarterback, assuming he likes him. Maybe he doesn't,

777
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:00,319
Speaker 1: and go, hey, sign me to a five year contract

778
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: for sixty seventy million dollars and I just got a

779
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 1: better chance to win. Maybe he doesn't think that, but

780
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 1: there is a loyalty that he shows the Pittsburgh Steelers

781
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 1: from one. He never even leaks out, and I think

782
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 1: a lot of coaches would given his situation. It's just

783
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,840
Speaker 1: kind of going nowhere, and everyone's shitting on him that, like,

784
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 1: you know, Tomlin's ready to sniff around. Like Tomlin is

785
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 1: a really, really loyal guy. There are elements to coaching

786
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 1: of like used car salesman and like snake oil salesman,

787
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 1: not necessarily to their players, but when it comes to

788
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 1: their contract, when it comes to you know, trying to

789
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 1: put themselves in the best situation to win. And Tomlin's

790
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:50,760
Speaker 1: just pretty old school in the sense that like doesn't

791
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:54,839
Speaker 1: do any of that comes out after the season they

792
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 1: try to ask him about the situation, would he go

793
00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:57,919
Speaker 1: anywhere else?

794
00:43:58,000 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 2: He's basically, don't waste your time.

795
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 1: And he's been saying this for years, and finally someone

796
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 1: does get aggressive and reach out and they immediately.

797
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 2: Shoot it down.

798
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 1: So maybe this the Steelers are the most loyal franchise

799
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: in all of sports. Mike, Tom's pretty loyal too. And

800
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 1: it's like a two way street sometimes, and I'm sure

801
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:23,720
Speaker 1: we've all experienced this in life, whether with a personal relationship,

802
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 1: with a professional relationship, one side can be a lot

803
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:29,400
Speaker 1: more loyal than the other side, whether it's a business partner,

804
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 1: whether it's an employee and a boss, whether it's a

805
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 1: boyfriend and girlfriend, a husband and wife. This feels like

806
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 1: they're very connected at the hip. There is extreme loyalty

807
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 1: between the.

808
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 2: Two, and.

809
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 1: I think it's time for a change. If I was Mike,

810
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 1: I'd probably be ready for time for a change. But like,

811
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: maybe he goes, why would I want to coach the

812
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 1: fucking Chicago Bears. I coach the Pittsburgh Steelers. I would

813
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 1: rather try to figure it out here without a quarterback. Then,

814
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 1: and again, there is no guarantee. He thinks Caleb Williams

815
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 1: any good because you're watching Jayden and Daniels the night, Like,

816
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 1: Caleb got a long way to go before he ever

817
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:11,959
Speaker 1: looks half as good as that, So maybe he doesn't

818
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 1: even want to risk it. He goes, what the hell's

819
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 1: the difference. I'd rather have nothing than be tied to

820
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:16,880
Speaker 1: this guy where all the pressure is going to be

821
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 1: what if he's not good and make me look like

822
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 1: an idiot.

823
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 2: But there is.

824
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 1: A I just think most guys would at least put

825
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 1: it out there, and he doesn't at all. We've seen

826
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 1: Sean Payton do that the way he kind of wiggled

827
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 1: his way out.

828
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 2: We've seen a lot of coaches do this.

829
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 1: Kind of entertain other jobs, get raises. You know, Andy

830
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: Reid's done it over the years now, just to even

831
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 1: float in a retirement. That's the business they're in, like

832
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 1: they should. I'm talking like McVeigh. It's like floating Amazon.

833
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 2: To get a race.

834
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:52,359
Speaker 1: Happens all the time. You're not even a bad guy

835
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:54,359
Speaker 1: if you do. It's just part of the business. It's

836
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 1: part of You have to have a little of that

837
00:45:56,360 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 1: to you to maximize your money. And I don't know

838
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:02,760
Speaker 1: if it goes back to when he originally got hired

839
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,399
Speaker 1: and no one thought that, no one even knew who

840
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:07,760
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin was, and they took a chance on him.

841
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 1: A couple years later, who wins a Super Bowl. He's

842
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:12,280
Speaker 1: made a shitload of money there if you watch Hard Knocks,

843
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 1: his wife's got the little boutique in town.

844
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:15,879
Speaker 2: Like they're living well.

845
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 1: But there is just an extreme two way loyalty there

846
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 1: that I just don't think exists in the NFL, honestly.

847
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 1: I mean, hell, they were rumors about John Harbaugh getting fired,

848
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 1: like right the year before Lamar got there was like that,

849
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:34,879
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna fire John Harbaugh. Never even comes

850
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 1: up with Mike Tomlin So Congress to the Steelers, Mike

851
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 1: Thomas not going anywhere. The volume
