19
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 2: a little present today before we even get into what

20
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 2: happened in the Chiefs Game, I'm just gonna set the

21
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 2: template for you. Got to Vegas middle of the night

22
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 2: Thursday night, Friday morning, played in one of the bigger

23
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 2: poker games I've ever played in in my life. On Friday,

24
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,559
Speaker 2: put it on Instagram. Won a great deal of money,

25
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 2: was feeling great about it. Saturday played in that game

26
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 2: that had somehow gotten even bigger overnight, lost a little bit,

27
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 2: was still way ahead Sunday then rolls around. I'm in

28
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 2: Las Vegas. Remember, and I do believe I told you

29
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 2: guys that the Chiefs Bengals game was my game of

30
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 2: the year. Loved it more than a game on the

31
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 2: board all season. I also gave you guys six picks,

32
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 2: including the Prince that was promised, including the Falcons, including

33
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 2: the Colts plus ten and a half too many points.

34
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 2: Colts trying to tie the game up going into the

35
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 2: fourth quarter, they get outscored thirty three to nothing in

36
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter, to which I tell you after the

37
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 2: morning slate didn't go great. I wasn't going to be

38
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: in the casino for the four pm Eastern games because

39
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 2: I was actually invited to the home of Doyle Brunson,

40
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 2: poker legend Texas. Dolly had me into his home to

41
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 2: watch these games, so I took I broke all my

42
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 2: gambling rules. Demonsey took all that poker prophet, everything we

43
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 2: had for the weekend, and said, you know what, this

44
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 2: is going to be a great day in my life.

45
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 2: I'm gonna win maybe my biggest sports bet ever, alongside

46
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 2: the biggest poker legend ever in his own home, Doyle Brunson.

47
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 2: And we got Chiefs minus two. And then the game started,

48
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 2: and you know what, the best bets all year have

49
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: been live Chiefs bets when they fall down big. So

50
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 2: they're down fourteen to three and I check, They're getting

51
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 2: three and a half Chiefs plus three and a half,

52
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 2: and I'm like, okay, my minus two is not looking great,

53
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 2: but I can get the Chiefs plus three and a

54
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 2: half right now. And I had a lot of money

55
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 2: in that online account from that parlay from a few

56
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: weeks ago, so I log in not able to use

57
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 2: it because I'm not in New York state. I'm in Vegas,

58
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 2: so I couldn't place the bet and the plus three

59
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 2: and a half would have hit. They lost by three,

60
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 2: So I am up I am upbeat. It was fun weekend,

61
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 2: saw a Gucci Man live in concert, you got to

62
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 2: hang out with Doyle Brunton played in a great poker game.

63
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 3: With all that.

64
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 2: Said, your little sister's school tuition monthly school tuition gets

65
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 2: auto withdrawn on the fifth of each month. And I'd

66
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 2: be lying to you if I didn't check the old

67
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 2: account this morning and figure out if I wasn't gonna

68
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 2: have to do a shadow, a fringe transfer from Demanse's

69
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 2: account to mine to cover the tuition before I could

70
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 2: replace it, hopefully without him knowing. I did that once

71
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 2: upon a time by accident, and then it really I

72
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 2: realized I was, like, you know, in an odd way,

73
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 2: Demonse's account is like my backstop if things ever go

74
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 2: really poorly. So that was my weekend. We'll get into

75
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 2: all the games here. First, let's talk about what missed

76
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 2: the cut. Here's what is not on today's show, College

77
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 2: Football Playoff set, and they got it right. Listen. I

78
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 2: wanted USC to be in there at four, and I

79
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 2: would have argued strongly that USC should not be penalized

80
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 2: for losing a conference championship game at Ohio State, which

81
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 2: didn't make their conference championship game getting in however, because

82
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 2: USC ended up getting dog walked at the end by Utah,

83
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 2: that game was in Vegas. By the way, I can't

84
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 2: argue at TCU deserved stay at three. The playoff committee

85
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 2: got it right. Oddly, this would have been a year

86
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 2: where we just needed the old BCS system. One versus two.

87
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 2: Georgia and Michigan have nothing to prove but to play

88
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 2: each other. They're the only undefeated teams. Don't worry about it.

89
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 2: Brown's win. Deshaun Watson looks like a guy who hasn't

90
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 2: played in two years. Will continue to monitor that story.

91
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 2: And Dion Sanders I went to I went to Mississippi

92
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 2: or Memphis this year to watch Deon Coach in the

93
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 2: Heritage Classic. If you remember Dion going to Colorado. We

94
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 2: might have a guest appearance by my wife, Demonsey's mom

95
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 2: on Thursday to briefly give a take on Dion leaving

96
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 2: Jackson State Jackson, Mississippi, where Danielle lived for a little bit,

97
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 2: because she has I think the best take of anyone

98
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 2: I've heard on it. None of that is on the

99
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 2: show today, though. We're gonna start with and by the way,

100
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 2: is stop buying the chat ask some questions. We'll get

101
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 2: to him later in the show. A reminder we wrap

102
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 2: up book Club on Thursday for this book, Little History

103
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 2: of the World by Age Gone. Breck will do that

104
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 2: on Thursday today. All right, let's get to it. Chiefs Bangals,

105
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 2: go ahead.

106
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 4: All right, I'm sorry you went all the way to

107
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 4: Vegas to see USA, the Jags, and last but not least,

108
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 4: your Chiefs lose.

109
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, the USA is the only one. I didn't lose

110
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 2: money on the Yeah. I thought the Netherlands would win,

111
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 2: but the Chiefs, well, I lost money on the others.

112
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 3: Go ahead. The Chiefs have.

113
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 4: Five losses in twenty twenty two, and three of them

114
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 4: are to the Bengals.

115
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 2: That is, that's an odd way to put it, but

116
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 2: it is accurate. You mean the calendar year twenty twenty two,

117
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 2: They've lost three times to the Bengals, once to the Bills,

118
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 2: once to the Colts. That's right, Go ahead.

119
00:06:55,160 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow obviously remains undefeated versus Patrick Mahomes in his career. Yep,

120
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 4: Casey had a shot late but ended up being the

121
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 4: only favorite to lose in Week thirteen.

122
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 2: That's crazy. I didn't realize that until I saw that

123
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 2: in today's rundown. The only favorite to lose. Almost as

124
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 2: crazy as I think I went one in five on

125
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 2: my picks this week.

126
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 3: Go ahead and the Bills, Yeah, are now the one seeds?

127
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 3: I don't care. Are the Bengals the best team in

128
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 3: the in the AFC?

129
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 4: And can Mahomes be considered the MVP of Joe Burrow

130
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 4: keeps beating him and playing like this?

131
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 2: Okay, so so much here, First, let me before I

132
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 2: answer your questions, my apologies for I will answer them,

133
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 2: but I want to talk about the game itself. The

134
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 2: right team won yesterday. Now could the Chiefs have won? Absolutely?

135
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 2: Travis Kelsey doesn't fumble? He fumbled here they're driving to

136
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 2: go up two scores, put the game away? Am I

137
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 2: beside myself? Was I in real time beside myself with

138
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 2: the decision to kick that field goal, which, first of all,

139
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 2: far from a sure thing you're gonna make it, as

140
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 2: evidenced by the fact that he missed it, also to

141
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 2: fifty five yarder. Bucker is an excellent kicker, but in

142
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 2: his career is like seventy fifty five yards. But most damningly,

143
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 2: it takes the ball out of Mahomes's hands. And even

144
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 2: if you make it, you still need your defense to

145
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 2: stop Cincinnati, which he hadn't been able to do throughout

146
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 2: the game. So I understand the Chiefs had many opportunities,

147
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 2: but so did Cincinnati. Cincinnati dropped a touchdown pass, just

148
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 2: a perfect pass drops and the Chiefs got a goal

149
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 2: line stand with a great play by Dunlap that took

150
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 2: you know, at least maybe seven points off the board.

151
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 2: So the game was close, coin flip game. I think

152
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 2: the right team won. I want to give Cincinnati credit.

153
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 2: That's first of all. Second of all, what is most

154
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 2: disappointing to me, other than taking the ball out of

155
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 2: Mahomes's hands on that fourth down, which Flatley should never happen,

156
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 2: Andy Reid, you trusted him to go for the fourth

157
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 2: down earlier in the game of the goal line, He's

158
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 2: supermanned it and got into the end zone. Leave the

159
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 2: ball in his hands there. What frustrated me so much

160
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 2: was the Chiefs defense did not show up in a

161
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 2: huge spot. After talking trash the Chiefs defense. The way

162
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 2: to slow down Cincinnati is to beat the hell out

163
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 2: of Burrow, and they got two sacks on the day.

164
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 2: One of them Burrow kind of gave them on that

165
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 2: odds second down play call, which was a Bury odd

166
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 2: decision by Zach Taylor late in the game with two

167
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 2: four left that gave the Chiefs an opening. And after

168
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 2: all that, they're in a third and eleven with two

169
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 2: minutes left, no timeouts, Cincinnati's up three. If you stop them,

170
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 2: you are getting the ball back, maybe with a minute

171
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 2: fifty left, if it's an incompletion with a minute fifteen left,

172
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 2: if it's a completion short of the first down, or

173
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 2: a sack with a chance to go win, and you

174
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 2: couldn't get off the field. So credit to the Bengals.

175
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 2: That's first of all. Second of all, the Chiefs now

176
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 2: have a rival in the AFC. Everyone has tried to

177
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 2: say it's the Bills. It is not. It is the Bengals.

178
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 2: And I know some folks, if you want to be

179
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 2: a smart ass, will say it's not a rivalry. Chiefs

180
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 2: have never beaten them. Okay, I think all of us

181
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 2: recognize how close these games have been. Yes, the Bengals

182
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 2: have gotten the upper handed it and Bengals deserve bragging rights.

183
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 2: See this is I am not afraid to give teams credit.

184
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 2: I just don't like premature credit being demanded. And the

185
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 2: national media and Bills fans demanded that I give the

186
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 2: Bills credit and Josh Allen credit for things he has

187
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 2: not yet done. Joe Burrow has done them. Joe Burrow

188
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 2: has stared Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs down three times

189
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 2: in his career and beat them all three first team

190
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 2: to ever beat them three in a row, the first

191
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 2: the only quarterback to have three wins against Mahomes. The

192
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 2: other one is Tom Brady. I give the guy credit,

193
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 2: and Joe Burrow. I know it's cliche at this point,

194
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 2: call him Joe Cole. The guy's bleeping cool, like not

195
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 2: just in a you know how he carries himself off

196
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 2: the field, but he was under pressure throughout the night.

197
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 2: They weren't getting the sex, but they were getting pressure.

198
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 2: And he's calm in the pocket and he makes plays.

199
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 3: Sounds like you just like Joe Burrow more than Josh Allen.

200
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 2: Well listen, that is true. But I also was skeptical

201
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 2: of Burrow coming out of LSU. I didn't see why

202
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 2: he was the number one pick of the draft. I

203
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 2: understood he had this one unbelievable season, so it's not

204
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 2: like I've always liked him, but he's proven it. The

205
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 2: guy has a eighteen point second half comeback in the

206
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 2: AFC Championship game against the Chiefs. He had a fourth

207
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 2: quarter comeback yesterday. He's he's been excellent, and that team

208
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 2: with Chase and those guys, is scared, especially if you

209
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 2: can't get to the quarterback. So I just it's not

210
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 2: about anything other than I give them the respect that

211
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 2: they have earned. Now to the MVP conversation. They have

212
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 2: a brutal they being the Bengals schedule the rest of

213
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 2: the way, but now that Lamar is hurt and the

214
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 2: AFC North is open, if the Chiefs stumble, of course

215
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 2: Burrow should be in the MVP conversation right now. He's

216
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 2: not there. I shouldn't say he's not there. He's in

217
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 2: the conversation right now. He's not the MVP right now.

218
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 2: The MVP is still Mahomes and the Vegas odds makers

219
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 2: agree with me barely on that they have a slight

220
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 2: favorite over Jailen Hurts. Jalen Hurts was excellent yesterday. We

221
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 2: can talk more about that in a moment, but Burrow

222
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 2: absolutely can get there. With all that said, here is

223
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 2: my proclamation of my guarantee that I am going to

224
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 2: make and there's gonna be the big thing I do

225
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 2: on television today, So let's not put this up on

226
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 2: social media until after the TV show if we could.

227
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 2: The Chiefs are not losing again this year, and the

228
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 2: Chiefs are still going to be the one seed. So

229
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 2: everyone's oh Buffalo right now is the one seed. Let

230
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 2: me make something very clear about what the Chiefs have

231
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 2: the rest of the way. They were on the longest

232
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 2: winning streak in the NFL that is now snapped, obviously

233
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 2: in credit to the Bengals for doing it, But the

234
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,479
Speaker 2: Chiefs the rest of the way have the Broncos, Texans,

235
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 2: Seahawks at home, Broncos all of a sudden, Frisky Raiders

236
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 2: final week of the year. They haven't loss to the

237
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 2: Broncos since before Mahomes was the quarterback. They don't lose

238
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 2: to the Raiders Seattle. I give them credit. They're not

239
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 2: coming in d Arrowhead and winning. So the Chiefs are

240
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 2: going to finish this season fourteen to three. What does

241
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,959
Speaker 2: that mean? That means the Buffalo bill must go undefeated

242
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 2: the rest of the way to be the one seed.

243
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 2: Cincinnati already has four losses, so Cincinnati's got the tie

244
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 2: breaker on Kansas City, but the Chiefs would have to

245
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 2: lose again and Cincinnati would have to go undefeated. The Bills, Jets, Dolphins, Bears, Bengals,

246
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 2: Patriots three divisional games and a game at Cincinnati and

247
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 2: a game at Chicago, which, again Chicago can't win games,

248
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 2: but is an unbelievable stat from our friend Danny Parkins.

249
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 2: Justin Fields has more fifty yard touchdown runs than any

250
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 2: quarterback in NFL history already. Already He's got three of

251
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 2: them this season. That's the most of any quarterback in

252
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 2: the NFL history. Also, we have some breaking news that

253
00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 2: I find really interesting the pant are It's this from

254
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 2: me and Rapport moments ago. The Panthers are releasing Baker Mayfield.

255
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 2: He'll hit waivers when it's finalized later today. That oddly

256
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 2: fits very well into our next discussion and right, pardon me,

257
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 2: our poll question, Uh, who's the best team in the AFC?

258
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 2: Forty five percent say the Chiefs, thirty one percent say

259
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 2: the Bengals, twenty two percent say the Bills. But demon's

260
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 2: a what team all of a sudden might need a quarterback?

261
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 2: Go right ahead of the forty nine ers. They did

262
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 2: make a statement against Tua and the Dolphins. Yeah, Jimmy

263
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 2: g is likely done for this season. With a broken foot,

264
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 2: brutals is probably gonna need surgery. Yeah, this means San

265
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 2: Francisco has lost two starting quarterbacks this season. However, twenty

266
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 2: twenty two, mister irrelevant Rock Purdy looked great in relief

267
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 2: meanwhile to a aggravated a lingering an ankle injury. And

268
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 2: as he's as he struggled against the San France his

269
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 2: school defensive line.

270
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 4: Yep, what happens to San Francisco? Mm hmm and Miami

271
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 4: from here? Should San Francisco get Fitzpatrick or Drew Brees

272
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 4: or Baker Mayfield?

273
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 2: Well, listen, Drew Brees no, either he is done and

274
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 2: Fitzpatrick no. Look brock Birdy yesterday played really well and

275
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 2: I'm not the guy was a good college player. Now

276
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 2: he was the final pick of his draft. He's mister

277
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 2: irrelevant is what they always call, the guy who's picked

278
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 2: lessons draft. So I will give him the opportunity to

279
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 2: show he can do something. The odds are he's gonna

280
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 2: be very limited. The Niners are so good everywhere else, though,

281
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 2: that you've got to consider them still. I still consider

282
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 2: them strong contenders in the NFC. The question is can

283
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 2: they have a quarterback now? Who's gonna make a ton

284
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 2: of plays, but isn't gonna make a lot of mistakes.

285
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 2: The Baker thing is interesting. They just signed off the

286
00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 2: Broncos practice squad Josh Johnson. This is his fourteenth different

287
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 2: stop in the NFL. He's been now some of the teams.

288
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 2: He's been on the Niners three times, but he's been

289
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 2: change teams fourteen times in the league. They're on their

290
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 2: third string quarterback. Does Kyle Shanahan. Now, the way waivers

291
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 2: work is you claim him, you claim his contract, but

292
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 2: it's reverse order. It's the same order as the draft order.

293
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 2: So like if the Texans were to want Baker Mayfield,

294
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 2: they would get him, they would claim him. Do you

295
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 2: understand what I mean? Like, so if a guy, if

296
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 2: a guy gets cut at.

297
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 4: This point in the careers, exactly right.

298
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 2: So the Eagles would have the last waiver priority because

299
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 2: they have the best record, the Texans have the best

300
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 2: and the Niners have pretty damn good records. So I

301
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 2: don't I don't have in front of you, but you know,

302
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 2: twenty five teams have to pass on something like that.

303
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 2: But I don't think that. Now. The Texans are an

304
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 2: interesting one. They don't have a quarterback and they but

305
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 2: do they even want to be in the Baker Mayfield business.

306
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:04,239
Speaker 2: I don't know the answer to that. The Niners are

307
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 2: in a very tricky spot. I would put a claim

308
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 2: in on Baker if I were them, if nothing else,

309
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 2: then to be the backup and see what party does

310
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 2: the Niners though, that defense is so god dog good

311
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 2: that defense is. They gave up a seventy five yard

312
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 2: touchdown first play of the game and then just shut

313
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 2: the Dolphins down even though Tyreek still got off right,

314
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 2: and then we get to the tuas stuff.

315
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 3: You can't wait to jump on this one.

316
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 2: Well, everybody was very very quick to demand that to

317
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 2: get apologies from everyone that doubted him. I want to

318
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 2: see how the remainder of the year goes. Weather's about

319
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 2: to get colder, that'll be interesting. Schedule's not going to

320
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 2: get very soft for them, that'll be interesting. So Miami,

321
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 2: if we want to go over what they have the

322
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 2: rest of the way. As they sit at eight and five,

323
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 2: they are at the Chargers on Sunday Night Football next weekend.

324
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 2: The Chargers can't get out of their own damn way.

325
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 2: They're still a dangerous team. They are then at the

326
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 2: Bills they are then home for the Packers. They are

327
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 2: then at the Patriots and home for the Jets. So

328
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 2: the easiest game the rest of the way is home

329
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 2: for the Packers. For Miami, the Packers all of a sudden,

330
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 2: By the way, Christian Watson, the kid's got eight touchdowns

331
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 2: the last four games. There are some obvious limitations that

332
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:52,959
Speaker 2: Tua has that to me, showed up glaringly yesterday. Now,

333
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 2: to be fair, Miami was without both of their starting tackles.

334
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 2: You're playing a ferocious defense. I believe, the best defense

335
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 2: in football in San Francisco. And that's why San Francisco

336
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 2: almost no matter who the quarterback is, you still have

337
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 2: to considered andrus they have a top three running back,

338
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 2: they have All Pro first team All Pro running back,

339
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,479
Speaker 2: wide receiver, tight end, left tackle, and the best defense

340
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 2: in football and a great coach I feel. So the

341
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 2: question is how big of a drop is it from

342
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 2: Jimmy g to Rock Purty. But this, by the way,

343
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 2: Rock Purty playing well for them would be such a

344
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 2: blow for the quarterback. Wins dopes. The folks are like

345
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:41,360
Speaker 2: wins are a quarterback stat that is, that's how they're

346
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 2: all that foolishness that has become. And I shouldn't say

347
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 2: dopes because some of my favorite people in the media

348
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 2: believe this, most notably my co host Chris Broussard. But

349
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 2: they're obviously wrong about that. And I'm very curious to

350
00:20:55,840 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 2: see what the Niners look like with just a guy

351
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 2: playing the guy. Yeah, with Brock Perdy, he was their

352
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 2: third stringer to start the year. He was the two

353
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty second pick or whatever it was, doing

354
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 2: a fifty second pick of his draft. And Miami, on

355
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 2: the other hand, this is this is the time where

356
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 2: things could go south for it. Absolutely they they one

357
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 2: hundred percent. What do you think the line is for?

358
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 2: Who tell me what?

359
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 3: Miami.

360
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 4: It's just like everybody's saying, oh, it's Toula's got limitations,

361
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 4: he's got limitations, and he's been playing well for a

362
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 4: while now, and then like when it starts to come, they're.

363
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 3: Like, oh, yep, I told you.

364
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. It's like, listen, that's fair.

365
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 3: Eventually gonna have a bad game.

366
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 2: That's that's totally fair. It is totally fair to say

367
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 2: is that's the first game all year he has played

368
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 2: the whole way through and they've lost, right, so that

369
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 2: it is a fair critique, and that I am basing

370
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 2: this analysis on my prior beliefs on him. But those

371
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 2: prior beliefs on him I feel very strongly about, and

372
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 2: I do think that if you're Miami and you caught

373
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 2: people off guard early in the year, Okay, you beat

374
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 2: the Patriots, whose offense was you score seven points. You

375
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 2: have that unbelievable game against the Ravens where you're thoroughly

376
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 2: outplayed for three quarters and in a perfect fourth quarter.

377
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 2: You didn't have that very weird game against the Bill

378
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 2: where the Bills double you up in yardage but Josh

379
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 2: Allen keeps screwing up the clock and goal line. Okay,

380
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 2: since then, this is what they have done. They lost

381
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 2: to the Bengals, they lost to the Jets, they lost

382
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 2: to the Vikings, they beat this those thah, those are

383
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 2: the games without Tua. So then to his back, here

384
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 2: are their wins. They beat the Steelers sixteen to ten,

385
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:05,360
Speaker 2: They beat the Lions, they beat the Bears, they beat

386
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 2: the Browns, they beat the Texans. So now, with a

387
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 2: full season's worth of tape of what you're doing on offense,

388
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 2: you play real teams again, and one of those real

389
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 2: teams just kick your teeth there, and so I'm interested

390
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 2: to watch where this goes for Miami moving forward, just

391
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 2: like I'm you know, the team right now that and

392
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 2: I don't mean to step on the rest of the show.

393
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 2: I'll just do this quickly. If I were a fan

394
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 2: of them, I would be up at night just like

395
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 2: You've got to be kidding me about so many of

396
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 2: our losses. The Raiders who are sitting at five and

397
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 2: seven and have to feel like, if we had one

398
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 2: of those games we gave away, the Cardinals game, which

399
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 2: they flatly gave away, the Chiefs game, which they had

400
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 2: multiple chances to win and they did, if they had

401
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 2: the Jags game that they gave away, if they had

402
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 2: won one of those games and they were six and

403
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 2: six right now, they got to feel like they have

404
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 2: to run the table. Now, as far as running the

405
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 2: table goes, they're not gonna run the table. But they

406
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 2: have the Rams on Thursday. They then have the Patriots

407
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 2: at home the next Sunday night, then the Steelers. The

408
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 2: Raiders could before they played the Niners and the Chiefs

409
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 2: at the end of the year. That's brutal the Raiders.

410
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna finish game or two out and

411
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,439
Speaker 2: feel like God, dog it, we should have been right there,

412
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 2: all right? Next, no no poll for this.

413
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 3: One, all right.

414
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 4: Both NFC East powerhouses made statements this weekend the one

415
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 4: loss Eagles blew out the Titans, Dallas embarrassed the Colts

416
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 4: on Sunday Night football. There are three clear top teams

417
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 4: in the NFC, Philly, Dallas and Minnesota. How do you

418
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 4: rank them? Is Dallas better than Philly regardless of the record.

419
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 2: Okay, they're not three. Clearly, there are three clear best

420
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 2: teams in the NFC, but Minnesota is not one of them.

421
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 2: Give me a break on Minnesota. Yeah, I'm very happy

422
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 2: for you with your ten and two record. You are

423
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 2: not a very good team. I shouldn't say you're not

424
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 2: a good team, not a very good team. You got

425
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 2: incredibly lucky to beat the Jets yesterday. You're nine to

426
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 2: zero one score games. Give me a break. Including Minnesota.

427
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 2: Then Philly, Dallas and the Niners are the three best

428
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 2: teams in the NFC, hands down. I was all right.

429
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 2: So here's the thing on Philly, and I know Eagles

430
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 2: fans hate me, and that's fine and I'll deal with it.

431
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 2: And Jalen Hart, they ran for three hundred and fifty

432
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 2: yards the week before this. This week, Jaalen throws for

433
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 2: damn near four hundred credit where it's due an AJ

434
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 2: Brown revenge game against the team used to be on

435
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 2: the Titans. They didn't want to pay him, they traded him,

436
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 2: and he dominated that football game. The way right now

437
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 2: to go after Philadelphia is vertical passing game and Tennessee

438
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 2: can't do it. Tennessee, especially once Treylon Burks went out.

439
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 2: Did you see the Traylon Burks touchdown highlight? It's one

440
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 2: of the best plays of the year. He got knocked

441
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 2: unconscious on the catch and held onto it while unconscious

442
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 2: in the night. That was I mean, it was a

443
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 2: scary play. But once he went out for the game,

444
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 2: Tennessee can't beat you vertically and Philadelphia seized on it. Dallas,

445
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 2: on the other hand, it's one of the most bizarre

446
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 2: games ever because Indy is going for two to tie

447
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 2: that football game late in the third quarter and they

448
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 2: end up losing by a thousand. Dallas outscores him thirty

449
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 2: three to nothing in the fourth quarter because Indy can't

450
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 2: stop turning the ball over to me. Dallas was the

451
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 2: more impressive performance yesterday, even though Tennessee is a better

452
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 2: team than Indy, because the Dallas's ability to be explosive

453
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 2: is to me really frightening if you're anyone else in

454
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 2: the NFC, because you know how good that defense is.

455
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 2: And so Philadelphia deserves credit for everything they've done this year.

456
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 2: I still well, I got to see what happened with

457
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 2: the Niners at the quarterback position and the Cowboys. The

458
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 2: problem is, I don't trust the head coach right now,

459
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 2: if you're in the NFC, if you're Seattle right now,

460
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 2: you got to feel like we could win the conference.

461
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 2: And I know people are the Philadelphia fans are yelling

462
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:45,360
Speaker 2: at their computer screens or into their phones saying what

463
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 2: more do we have to do to show you we

464
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 2: are that dominant team? And I have been consistent on this,

465
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,919
Speaker 2: and you can say it's unfair, you can say, but

466
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 2: having that awful of a showing in the postseason last year,

467
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 2: when it's the only playoff experience your coach or your

468
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 2: quarterback have ever had, I cannot get that out of

469
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 2: my mind until I see you play in a playoff

470
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 2: game again. There is literally nothing you could do this

471
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 2: for me. Nothing you could do this regular season to

472
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 2: where I don't have a yeah but about that game.

473
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 2: You then add to it that I didn't I thought Philly,

474
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,199
Speaker 2: as dominant as they were early in the year, that

475
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 2: Philly later in the year was not playing their best football,

476
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 2: as evidence by the fact that when they played the

477
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 2: Texans a few weeks ago or a month ago, I

478
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 2: thought that was a mediocre performance. They lose to the Commanders,

479
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 2: they steal one against the Colts, they are in a

480
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 2: dogfight against a Packers team that I don't think is

481
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 2: any good, and then they dominate the Titans. They get

482
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 2: back on track against the Titans yesterday. But to me,

483
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 2: that game shitted entirely when Traylon Burke's went out, And

484
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 2: now that was early in the game. So am I

485
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 2: judging Philly by an unfair standard? Maybe, But I just

486
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 2: my obligation to the audience is to be honest, and

487
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 2: my honest opinion is it would not shock me if

488
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 2: Philadelphia ends up the one seed, gets the buy and

489
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 2: then loses its first playoff game. Next ISAs oh, is

490
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 2: Dallas better than Philly? Is the pole question?

491
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 4: Seventy say yes, seventy nine say no.

492
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 2: So seventy nine percent of the audience thinks Phillies better

493
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 2: than Dallas. We'll get to see them play again here soon.

494
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 3: Go ahead, all right.

495
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 4: Lamar Jackson went down early yesterday with knee injury and

496
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 4: did not return and screwed a couple of my parlays.

497
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, guys hurt.

498
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 4: Luckily for Baltimore, they were playing the Broncos and won

499
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 4: by a point.

500
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 3: But the Bengals are clearly the class of this division.

501
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 4: Is this injury more devastating for Baltimore or Lamar considering

502
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 4: his contract situation.

503
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 2: I think it's more devastating for Baltimore. Remember Baltimore last

504
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,239
Speaker 2: year was what were they? Eight and three? And then

505
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 2: Lamar got hurt and they missed the playoffs. They're now

506
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 2: eight and four and Baltimore now what they have going

507
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 2: for them this year is Baltimore's schedule the rest of

508
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 2: the way Steelers, Browns, Falcons, Steelers, Bengals. So now the

509
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 2: Steelers won a few in a row and the Browns

510
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 2: will see what they look like when Deshaun gets the

511
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 2: rust off. But they that was a very important win

512
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 2: for them yesterday and they are lout the only team

513
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 2: in the league. Yesterday. I think they could have beaten

514
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 2: is the Broncos, and so Lamar is gonna get some

515
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 2: version of a good contract no matter what. But Lamar

516
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 2: since the first month of the season has not played

517
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 2: great and now this is the second straight year has

518
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 2: gotten hurt.

519
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 3: Those are I think it's pretty devastating for Lamar.

520
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 2: Well, until you realize that if the Ravens were so

521
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 2: to me, his worst case scenario is they just franchised

522
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 2: tag him for forty million bucks. Because if you don't

523
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 2: think there's a team out there, and I've said it,

524
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 2: use them for I use them again like the Jets,

525
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 2: that would give Lamar forty five million a year guaranteed.

526
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 2: Of course they would. So his downside is relatively limited

527
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 2: because his if he was amazing this year, they might

528
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 2: franchise tag him ayway because they don't want to gi

529
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 2: him fully guaranteed deal. If he's bad and hurt, they're

530
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 2: still going to franchise tag him. Baltimore, on the other hand,

531
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 2: Cincinnati's win over the Chiefs is really damaging for Baltimore

532
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 2: and the fact that Cincinnati gets to play Baltimore again

533
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 2: later in the year. Baltimore needs to find a way

534
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 2: to win these games without Lamar. Luckily the schedules soft.

535
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 2: But the Steelers are a live team right now and

536
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 2: you got to deal with them. You can't imagine they're

537
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 2: gonna sweep the Steelers. So it's not quite as easy

538
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 2: as maybe we thought the schedule was gonna be a

539
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 2: few weeks ago. To me, the bigger story not bigger story,

540
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 2: but an equally big story from that game is it

541
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 2: is impossible how bad the Broncos are. I was skeptical

542
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 2: of them. I was the biggest Broncos skeptic I think

543
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 2: in the national media. I said I thought they were

544
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 2: going to be eight and nine, and people killed me

545
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 2: for it. They would if they win out. Is that

546
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 2: they would have to win out to be eight to nine.

547
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 2: They have the Chiefs twice the rest of the way

548
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 2: they the Broncos. This is what they have done as

549
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 2: far as points scored this year. And keep in mind

550
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 2: there are some games with a defense score sixteen, sixteen, eleven,

551
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 2: twenty three nine, sixteen nine, twenty one, ten, sixteen ten nine.

552
00:32:58,560 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 2: How is that possible?

553
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 3: Were they up six to zero or was it three zero?

554
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 3: Was there only they were up six to zero at

555
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 3: some point yesterday?

556
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 2: I feel like, no, they no, they but they were

557
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 2: up nine to three before Tyler Huntley drove them all

558
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 2: the way down the field for a touchdown. I how

559
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 2: maddening must it be to be on this Broncos defense. Yeah,

560
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 2: Russ has eight touchdowns this year. Eight. I gotta I'm

561
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 2: sorry to do this in real time, but it's just

562
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 2: it where I gotta find other quarterbacks that are similar

563
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:41,959
Speaker 2: when it comes to passing touchdowns. I'm sorting by touchdowns

564
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 2: right now. Uhh okay, here are guys with Okay, Baker

565
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 2: has six, he's been benched. Taylor Heineke has nine. He

566
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 2: wasn't the starter the first six weeks. Carson Wentz has ten.

567
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 2: So Washington, which switched quarterbacks this year in both both

568
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 2: of their quarterbacks have more touchdown passes than Russ. Davis

569
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 2: Mills has eleven. He's been benched. Jacoby Brissett has twelve.

570
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 2: The guy he has Matt Ryan, has been benched and

571
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 2: has come back. He has thirteen. Russ has eight. He's

572
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:33,839
Speaker 2: got eight. Jameis Winston hasn't played in two months. He's

573
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 2: got four eight. I can't. I thought Russell Wilson was

574
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 2: overrated coming into the year. I thought the Broncos made

575
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 2: a big mistake. I never in a million years thought

576
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 2: it was going to look like this where they are

577
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 2: the worst offense in football. His passer ratings eighty three,

578
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 2: that is twenty ninth in the league, ahead of only

579
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 2: Davis Mills, Kenny Pickett, and Zach Wilson and Baker Mayfield.

580
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,720
Speaker 2: So a rookie and three guys who have been benched.

581
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 2: That's it. It's unbelievable. All right, take quick break, come back,

00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 2: Welcome Back. In What's Right with Right? Episode one oh three,

594
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 2: during the show, breaking news that Baker Mayfield is getting released,

595
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,399
Speaker 2: and I do wonder if the Niners are gonna try

596
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 2: to claim him. If you're Baker, you've got to do

597
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 2: everything you can in your power to make sure nobody

598
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 2: you find out if the Niners have interest, right, and

599
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:26,320
Speaker 2: if they do, try to poison the water so nobody

600
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 2: else picks you. So the let me just before we

601
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 2: get to our FIFA forecast, Uh let me, I said,

602
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 2: I didn't have the full list in front of you

603
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 2: as far as who would have waiver priority, but I

604
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 2: can obviously get it in front of me. So if

605
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 2: we do the league standings, so Houston has a first priority,

606
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:51,800
Speaker 2: they might claim So Chicago definitely wouldn't, The Rams wouldn't,

607
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 2: Denver wouldn't, Jacksonville wouldn't. New Orleans maybe because they don't

608
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:00,839
Speaker 2: have a quarterback at the present or future and they

609
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 2: don't have their pick Arizona, no Indie, no Green Bay

610
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 2: of course, not Atlanta Indy. No, They're they're rolling with

611
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 2: Matt Ryan like they that's who Jeff Saturday wants. Atlanta

612
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:19,879
Speaker 2: drafted a guy who they haven't played yet, So no Pittsburgh,

613
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 2: no Cleveland. That would be hilarious, but no, the Raiders know,

614
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 2: Lions know Tampa, No Chargers, Patriots maybe probably not because

615
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 2: they have ZAPPI. I was just thinking about teams that

616
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 2: might want him as a backup. Washington, No Seattle, and

617
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 2: the Jets know Tennessee, Giants, Miami, and now we're up

618
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 2: to San Francisco. So you really need to make it

619
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 2: clear to the people in Houston that you will be

620
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 2: a culture killer agent. Just Baker right now should tweet

621
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 2: out how much Texas barbecue sucks and how how much

622
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 2: he enjoyed kicking the Longhorns ass when he was at Oklahoma,

623
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 2: and do everything he can to poison the water about

624
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 2: the Texans, potentially claiming get away from the Texans. It's

625
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 2: the very now. By the way, I don't know that

626
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 2: the Niners would claim it, but I think it would

627
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:28,240
Speaker 2: be if they are claiming Josh Johnson off dudes, practice squads.

628
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 2: Kyle Shanahan, I would imagine, would want to see what

629
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 2: he could do with Baker.

630
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 3: So I got around him, of course.

631
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 2: I mean it would be what an unbelievable story it

632
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:46,439
Speaker 2: would be if Baker ends up falling ass backwards into

633
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:51,240
Speaker 2: being the Niners quarterback. In that situation, it also would

634
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:59,800
Speaker 2: be such a wonderful litmus test of what it takes

635
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 2: to be successful in the league. If Baker had just

636
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:09,800
Speaker 2: been terrible, you know, his last year in Cleveland, awful

637
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 2: with Carolina, but then gets to the Niners and looks

638
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:18,399
Speaker 2: good again. It also should be noted that is there

639
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 2: a connection between Stefanski and Shanahan. Maybe not. I was

640
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 2: gonna say, was Stefanski part of that tree, But I'm

641
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 2: not sure Stefanski was the coach in Cleveland, obviously. All right,

642
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 2: let's get to soccer.

643
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 4: Go ahead, all right, you did all you could at

644
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 4: the aria Sports Book, but it wasn't enough for the

645
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 4: US to beat the Dutch.

646
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 2: All right. That was funny, by the way, real quick,

647
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,720
Speaker 2: I was at the Arias Sportsbook, US down to nothing,

648
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 2: they didn't get a goal. Make it to one. Now,

649
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, it's a game, and we can

650
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 2: put the tweet up there. This guy, you're gonna see

651
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 2: me in a moment, pounding the desk right there in

652
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 2: the white shirt. I'm pounding the desk. He wasn't like

653
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 2: videoing me. He was videoing the sports book and then

654
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 2: caught me on there. I was every day in Vegas.

655
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 2: I got up at six forty five in the morning,

656
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 2: went downstairs, got a cup of coffee and watched the

657
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 2: World Cup. But the US of course lost.

658
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,320
Speaker 4: Go ahead, Oh yeah, any last words for the USA?

659
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 4: And are you still sticking with Brazil to win it all?

660
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 2: All right, I'm still sticking with Brazil. Naymar is supposed

661
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:20,720
Speaker 2: to come back. Namar also flew his barber or hairstylist

662
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 2: into Qatar to give him a new hair do for

663
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 2: today's game. That's exciting. Also, as we're on the air

664
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 2: right now, Croatia is trail. Oh no, they just tied

665
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 2: it up literally a moment ago. Crous should tied it

666
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 2: up against Japan. This is the first World Cup game

667
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 2: I'm missing because I'm doing this show live right now.

668
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 2: So Japan took a one zier lead right before halftime.

669
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 2: Krous should tied it up right now. France, Spain and

670
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 2: Brazil looked like the classes of the tournament. And what

671
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 2: Imbape did yesterday was so phenomenal to watch. I know

672
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 2: everyone says he's the best player in the world. He

673
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 2: clearly is the best player in the world. And he's

674
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 2: just brilliant. I am sicking with Brazil obviously they need

675
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 2: Aymar to be healthy. And Argentina is still lingering clearly.

676
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,760
Speaker 2: And you know they also have advanced already to the quarters.

677
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 2: And so we have a great quarterfinal matchup already on

678
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 2: you know, on deck with the Netherlands against Argentina. Netherlands

679
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,879
Speaker 2: which is on the longest unbeaten streak of any team

680
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 2: in international soccer. We also have a really good quarterfinal

681
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 2: matchup locked up in England and France. I thought England

682
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,880
Speaker 2: could lose to Senegal and said they crushed him. Here's

683
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 2: the last words on the US. You can't call this

684
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 2: tournament a disappointment. So they did exactly what they were

685
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 2: supposed to do for second in the group, make the quarters,

686
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 2: lose to Netherlands, that's clear. But you can't call it

687
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 2: a rousing success either, because I would argue they didn't

688
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:07,399
Speaker 2: play a single great game the whole tournament, right. Their

689
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 2: best game was a game they scored zero goals against England,

690
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 2: the nil nil draw. It was nice that they beat

691
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 2: a run, but they almost gave it away at the

692
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 2: end against the Netherlands. They had no business that game

693
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,359
Speaker 2: should have been one to one or two to one

694
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 2: US at the half. Instead it was too nothing Netherlands.

695
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 2: And I understand that they were the one of the

696
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,399
Speaker 2: youngest teams in the whole tournament. The next World Cup

697
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 2: is in the United States. I get all of that,

698
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 2: and there are reasons to be optimistic, but if you're

699
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 2: giving them a grade for this World Cup anything more

700
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 2: than a B is being far too generous. And it

701
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 2: is clear I didn't want to say argued I disagreed

702
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 2: with Rick Buker a bit on this when Rick was like,

703
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 2: anyone that's calling them an elite team doesn't know what

704
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 2: they're talking about, and I just said to him, well,

705
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,360
Speaker 2: you got to defy elite. Are they one of the

706
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,839
Speaker 2: ten best teams in the world, clearly not. Are they

707
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,399
Speaker 2: one of the twenty best? I would argue, clearly, yes,

708
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 2: closer to twenty than to ten. But that jump between

709
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:16,360
Speaker 2: where they are right now to actually competing in a

710
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 2: World Cup is such a massive jump that even with

711
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 2: the youth on the team and these guys getting experienced,

712
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 2: it is impossible to see them making that type of

713
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 2: jump unless they all of a sudden get a transcendent

714
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 2: talent or two that right now does not appear to

715
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 2: be in the pipeline or on the US roster. So

716
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 2: it wasn't a disappointing World Cup, but it obviously was.

717
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 2: It felt to me like they left some meat on

718
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 2: the bone. All right. Next, let's play a game.

719
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 3: Are playing a game right or wrong? First?

720
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 4: When we've got a maybe I've been watching a little

721
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 4: bit too much soccer for the Commander's Giants game, tye

722
00:43:57,840 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 4: actually ended up being good for both teams.

723
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 3: Get wrong, the Giants tie, save your season.

724
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 2: Well, I don't want to say it's save their season,

725
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:08,319
Speaker 2: but I do agree with you that I don't think

726
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 2: a tie was a terrible result for either of these

727
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:15,359
Speaker 2: teams because of how the playoff situation is shaking out.

728
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 2: So now, for they're in a situation right right now,

729
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,799
Speaker 2: we know in the NFC there's going to be two

730
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 2: playoff spots for three teams, Giants, Seahawks, and Washington. They

731
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 2: all have seven wins right now. Giants are seven to

732
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 2: four and one, Washington seven to five and one, and

733
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:39,360
Speaker 2: Seattle is seven and five, and they all kept pace,

734
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 2: if you will, both of them with the tie with

735
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 2: Seattle to a degree to where now if either of

736
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 2: them finish with the same number of wins as Seattle,

737
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:54,320
Speaker 2: they will go to the playoffs over Seattle because Seattle

738
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 2: would be say ten and seven, and they would be

739
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,959
Speaker 2: ten six and one, and so the tie is helpful there.

740
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 2: So the question is how many wins do we think

741
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 2: Seattle has left in them? So Seattle is hosting the

742
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 2: Panthers next week, that should be a win. They then

743
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 2: host the Niners. That should be a loss. We get

744
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 2: the Niners though of the big question a quarterback. They're

745
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:17,879
Speaker 2: then at the Chiefs. That should be a loss. They

746
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 2: then host the Jets. That's a coin flip game, but

747
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 2: the Jets, going all the way across country, call that

748
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:26,240
Speaker 2: a win. And the final week of the year they

749
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 2: host the Rams. So I do believe Seattle is going

750
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:32,759
Speaker 2: to get to ten wins. So then the question is

751
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:37,400
Speaker 2: for the Giants do they have three more wins in them?

752
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 2: Their games are hosting the Eagles, at the Commanders, at

753
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:46,839
Speaker 2: the Vikings, hosting the Colts, and then at the Eagles

754
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:52,359
Speaker 2: in a game that the Eagles might have everything locked up,

755
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 2: So that's key for them, right if the Eagles, because

756
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:01,879
Speaker 2: if the Eagles beat Dallas, then they will essentially lock

757
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:05,240
Speaker 2: everything up because they'll have the full tiebreaker over Dallas.

758
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:07,799
Speaker 2: Alas would have four losses. They already have the head

759
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 2: to head with Minnesota, so even if Minnesota and then

760
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 2: finished with the same record, Philly would get the one seed.

761
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 2: So can the Giants get to ten wins? In fact

762
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 2: of the matter is this and then Washington? What do

763
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:22,359
Speaker 2: they have left? Let me look at the same thing.

764
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 2: They have a bye week then, because they only have

765
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:29,359
Speaker 2: four games to get there the ten wins we're talking about,

766
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 2: they host the Giants, then they're at the Niners, host

767
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 2: the Browns, and then host Dallas. That's brutal. I think

768
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 2: that playoff spot is gonna come down to that Giants

769
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 2: Commanders game. They both have the tie that will determine

770
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 2: the tiebreaker. So save their season. It even if they

771
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 2: had lost, they probably would still have to go beat Washington.

772
00:46:56,520 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 2: But now there is the slim chance if Seattle because

773
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 2: of the tie, if Seattle slips up, that both Washington

774
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 2: and the Giants could make the postseason. So save their season.

775
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:10,840
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say wrong, but I think the tie was

776
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 2: not a terrible result for them.

777
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:15,360
Speaker 4: Next all right, AJ Brown had a monster or revenge

778
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 4: game against Tennessee. Tyreek Kal and Devonte Adams put up

779
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 4: huge games as well. Their former teams definitely missed it.

780
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 4: Even you gotta admit that you missed Tyreek Hial after

781
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 4: you saw MBS drop that touchdown pass.

782
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:29,840
Speaker 2: NBS then did make a couple good catches.

783
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:32,720
Speaker 3: But yeah, go ahead, yeah, right or wrong? Never trade

784
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:33,840
Speaker 3: starr receivers.

785
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 2: Well, I'm gonna say wrong, because how did the Vikings

786
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 2: get Justin Jefferson. They traded Stefan Diggs and with the

787
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 2: pick they got for him, they use it on Justin Jefferson.

788
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:49,279
Speaker 2: What I would say is, unless you have Patrick Mahomes,

789
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 2: do not trade away star receivers unless you have someone

790
00:47:55,200 --> 00:48:01,319
Speaker 2: ready to immediately replace them. So the PA didn't have

791
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:03,880
Speaker 2: someone to place Devonte. Now, Christian Watson's playing well the

792
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 2: last month, eight touchdowns. Last month, I mentioned the second

793
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 2: time on the show I heard my buddy Danny Parkins

794
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:14,360
Speaker 2: speculating whether or not could or maybe even Andrew Philiponi

795
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 2: was listening to their podcast First In Pod, which is

796
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:20,760
Speaker 2: really good NFL podcast, about whether or not Christian Watson

797
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:24,440
Speaker 2: could win Offensive Rookie of the Year seemed unfathomable a

798
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 2: month ago, but eight touchdowns eight touchdowns. So I guess

799
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 2: it's on the board. It is teams that trade away

800
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:36,360
Speaker 2: their number one receiver unless again, unless you have Mahomes

801
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 2: where it doesn't seem to matter. The Chief's still the

802
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 2: highest scoring team in the league. Yeah, it seems like

803
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 2: a problem for you. And so I'm gonna I'm not

804
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 2: gonna say it's right. I'm gonna say it's it's right

805
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:53,239
Speaker 2: that you never trade them away without someone ready to

806
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 2: step in right there, And the Vikings got a little lucky.

807
00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 2: I mean, they traded Diggs before they knew who they

808
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 2: were gonna be able to draft with that pick and

809
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 2: all of that, but it worked out brilliantly for him. Justin,

810
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:06,439
Speaker 2: Jefferson's one of the two best receivers in the whole league.

811
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 4: Next, all right, Mike White and the Jets barely lost

812
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:10,760
Speaker 4: the ten and two Vikings on the road.

813
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 3: Still, this team looks pretty legit. Right or wrong, Mike

814
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 3: White is the Jets' future.

815
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 2: Oh that's wrong. It's not the Jets.

816
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 3: If Baker Mayfield want say anything to do with.

817
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:22,879
Speaker 2: No, that's not what I think. I listen. I I

818
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:26,839
Speaker 2: think they probably signed Jimmy even though Jimmy's coming off

819
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:31,279
Speaker 2: another injury and a broken foot. Mike White is a

820
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 2: good story, and he's good because he's not Zach Wilson,

821
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 2: who's been was such an abject disaster and now you're

822
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 2: actually getting your weapons involved and the Jets should have

823
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 2: won that game. But he's not their future. I'm not

824
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 2: gonna write him off as having no chance of being

825
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:54,319
Speaker 2: their future, but I'd say it's ninety ten against my

826
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 2: If Mike White your Week one starter next year, either

827
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:01,360
Speaker 2: he goes on a really spectacular run these last five weeks,

828
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:05,120
Speaker 2: or something disastrous has happened this offseason where you didn't

829
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 2: figure it out next.

830
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:08,440
Speaker 4: All right, Aaron Rodgers pulled out a close win against

831
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:11,880
Speaker 4: Chicago then rubbed it into the Bears fans by saying

832
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 4: Soldier Field has always been a second home to me.

833
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:17,920
Speaker 3: Right or wrong, Aaron Rodgers is back wrong.

834
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:22,399
Speaker 2: Everybody stopped. They were very lucky to win this game,

835
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 2: and I think it is bad for the Packers that

836
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:30,440
Speaker 2: they won. Had they lost, you could no longer continue

837
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 2: with this illusion or delusion. Maybe I should say about

838
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 2: you potentially making the postseason and you could play Jordan

839
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 2: Love so you could determine whether or not you want

840
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 2: to pick up his fifth year option in the offseason. Instead,

841
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 2: they won, and so now they're gonna pretend like they

842
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:51,880
Speaker 2: have any chance of making the postseason. So the fact

843
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:54,800
Speaker 2: of the matter for green Bay is this, they cap

844
00:50:54,960 --> 00:51:00,319
Speaker 2: out at nine wins. If they run the table nine

845
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 2: to eight, that would lose any tiebreakers with Washington or

846
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:08,480
Speaker 2: the Giants if they get to nine one. We just

847
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:12,719
Speaker 2: talked about those teams getting to ten, right, so we

848
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 2: already know that San Francisco, Dallas, Minnesota, and Philly are

849
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 2: all getting to nine or more wins. There's also the

850
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 2: NFC South team, right, So green Bay would have to

851
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 2: win the rest of its games and would have to

852
00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 2: also hope that Seattle falls apart and Washington or the

853
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 2: Giants one of them only win one game the rest

854
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:43,000
Speaker 2: of the way. It's not happened. And so I think

855
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers played well against a terrible Bears defense. I

856
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:49,279
Speaker 2: do not think he's back, and I do not think

857
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:51,440
Speaker 2: the Packers have any hope. I think that win was

858
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 2: actually bad for them.

859
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:55,319
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, next, are you bet on the row

860
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:59,160
Speaker 4: favorite Jacks this week? After your betting band was lifted

861
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 4: and they got blown out forty to fourteen. Right or wrong,

862
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 4: The Jags band must return, Amen. I warned you said,

863
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 4: it's the Lions at home. I remember, just like you

864
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:13,319
Speaker 4: just can't. You never know what the Lions are gonna do.

865
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:20,080
Speaker 2: Man, the Jags band has to return. We have to.

866
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:24,239
Speaker 2: It has to come back. That was the most say.

867
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 2: Zay Jones just kept dropping passes, Travis ettin fumble, and Jerry.

868
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 3: Golf probably had his best game as a quarterback ever.

869
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 2: Certainly in a long time. That was I mean, they

870
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:42,440
Speaker 2: lost forty to fourteen. That game was so disheartening. I

871
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:45,919
Speaker 2: mean it was so frustrating to watch. Trevor didn't even

872
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 2: play poorly and they just got annihilated. So yeah, put

873
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:55,319
Speaker 2: the band back on. That's so disappointed. You know, it's

874
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:58,880
Speaker 2: not disappointing that Anthony Davis might be one of the

875
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:01,800
Speaker 2: three best players in the Again, we'll answer your questions

876
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 2: in the chat, one of which I know is on

877
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:11,359
Speaker 2: the Lakers. We'll do that next. We'll try welcome back

878
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:15,680
Speaker 2: in what's right with Nick Wright As I'm monitoring Japan Croatia,

879
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:19,840
Speaker 2: which is in the seventieth minute tied at one apiece.

880
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:21,880
Speaker 2: So we're gonna go through this quickly. So I can

881
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:23,839
Speaker 2: see the end of that match. All right, demons, let's

882
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:26,360
Speaker 2: read the questions from the chat Batman asked.

883
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 4: Can Lebron and Anthony Davis both finish this season as

884
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:30,840
Speaker 4: the top five player in your opinion?

885
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:34,760
Speaker 2: No, I listen, I don't think Lebron's top five guy anymore.

886
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 2: And we just have to now we can talk more

887
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:40,279
Speaker 2: about the Lakers in just a moment. What are you

888
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:40,880
Speaker 2: laughing about?

889
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:42,919
Speaker 3: I mean, Batman, he watches our show.

890
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:49,440
Speaker 2: It's pretty dope. Oh yeah, that is cool. So Giannis, Luca,

891
00:53:52,600 --> 00:54:01,360
Speaker 2: Steph KD, Tatum right now all have a claim that

892
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:07,160
Speaker 2: they are unquestionably top five. Right Anthony Davis is trying

893
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 2: to push one of them out, and the way he's

894
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:12,080
Speaker 2: been playing lately, he would be pushing one of them out.

895
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:15,440
Speaker 2: But so let's just say eighty's at six.

896
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:16,799
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?

897
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:20,320
Speaker 2: Eighty So you have to me. You have Giannis is

898
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 2: a clear best player in the world. I believe Luca

899
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:26,399
Speaker 2: a clear second best player in the world. You then

900
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:30,360
Speaker 2: have three guys who have an argument for the third

901
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:34,440
Speaker 2: best spot, third best guy, Steph KD and Tatum right now.

902
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:39,880
Speaker 2: You then have the next group of guys, which are Jokic,

903
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:45,239
Speaker 2: Ja and Anthony Davis. To me, the way Ad is

904
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:47,480
Speaker 2: playing right now, those are the guys six through eight.

905
00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:51,120
Speaker 2: I'm going off the top of my head, Lebron is

906
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:55,480
Speaker 2: in that very next tier nine through twelve, somewhere in there.

907
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:58,960
Speaker 2: So Lebron is I mean, listen, he almost you know,

908
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:01,439
Speaker 2: once a week he has the best game anyone's ever

909
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 2: had other than himself for you know, at this point

910
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:06,799
Speaker 2: in his career. But he's not. I mean, he's in

911
00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:11,239
Speaker 2: year twenty. He's he just passed magic and assists and

912
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:14,320
Speaker 2: he's still doing these types of things. But what's interesting

913
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:20,960
Speaker 2: for the Lakers is this. If Ad keeps this up,

914
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:24,839
Speaker 2: they are not a team that can be discounted. If

915
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 2: Lebron is your second best guy, you're in amazing shape.

916
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:34,399
Speaker 2: And credit word's due. Russ has played really well since

917
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:36,880
Speaker 2: he started coming off the bench. He's not turning the

918
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:40,840
Speaker 2: ball over, he's being smarter. And when it comes to Lebron,

919
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:46,120
Speaker 2: I told you guys, everyone's like, oh, Lebron the worst

920
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:49,360
Speaker 2: three point shooter in the league, which he was the

921
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:51,440
Speaker 2: until he got hurt and missed that little bit of time.

922
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:54,640
Speaker 2: And I told you guys, he's gonna have a stretch

923
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 2: where he shoots forty five percent. While I was from three,

924
00:55:57,160 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 2: I was wrong. It's a strutch where he shoots fifty percent. Yeah,

925
00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:03,200
Speaker 2: And so now he's up to thirty four percent for

926
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:05,839
Speaker 2: the season, which is right around his career average. He's

927
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:08,280
Speaker 2: going to finish the year round thirty five percent from three,

928
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:11,080
Speaker 2: and it's gonna be despite the fact he'll never really

929
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 2: shoot thirty five percent from three. He'll shoot. You'll have

930
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 2: some one for eight games and some five for seven games,

931
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:20,400
Speaker 2: and it will even out in that regard. But the

932
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:25,040
Speaker 2: Lakers are interesting again, and that game against the Bucks

933
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 2: was their best win since Game three of the first

934
00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:32,799
Speaker 2: round the year of their title defense against Phoenix, the

935
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:35,560
Speaker 2: game that Anthony The next game, Anthony Davis got hurt

936
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:36,600
Speaker 2: and the whole thing went to hell.

937
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:39,719
Speaker 4: All right, next, all right, Jackson says, I need to

938
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:43,040
Speaker 4: understand the double standard with teams like Miami and Buffalo

939
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:46,760
Speaker 4: two had one bad game in two months and everyone bounces.

940
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 3: Josh Allen has several in the last month and no

941
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:49,959
Speaker 3: one cares.

942
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:52,000
Speaker 2: All right, First of all, I care now the Josh

943
00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:59,560
Speaker 2: Allen thing, but this is it is preconceived notions cause

944
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:06,560
Speaker 2: analytical bias, but sometimes they're for a good reason. We

945
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 2: cannot act as if what you have been up to

946
00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:17,080
Speaker 2: this point in your career should not factor into whether

947
00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 2: or not we believe stretches of excellent play or stretches

948
00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:27,800
Speaker 2: of awful play are concerning or calls for optimism or neither.

949
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:32,000
Speaker 2: So Mahomes last year had a month where he played poorly.

950
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:36,480
Speaker 2: I was never concerned about him because he had prior

951
00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:39,600
Speaker 2: to that three and a half years of quarterback play

952
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:44,200
Speaker 2: at the highest level we've ever seen. Tua had two

953
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:49,280
Speaker 2: years as a bad starting quarterback, then he had this

954
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:52,080
Speaker 2: stretch start the year. It's going to need to be

955
00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 2: more than eight games for us two for at least

956
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:59,960
Speaker 2: for me to say, Okay, he's one of those guys.

957
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:05,320
Speaker 2: He's a great player. Josh Allen, we have seen what

958
00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:09,560
Speaker 2: his highs are, so we know Josh Allen can be

959
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 2: the quarterback of one of the best teams in football,

960
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:15,000
Speaker 2: So you give him more benefit of the doubt. Now,

961
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 2: what I also think with Josh Allen is we have

962
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:21,600
Speaker 2: seen throughout his entire career high highs and low lows,

963
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:23,560
Speaker 2: And I'm one of the only people in the media

964
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:25,520
Speaker 2: that seems to care about the low lows. But they've

965
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:30,360
Speaker 2: been there, so I do think body of work really matters,

966
00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:33,760
Speaker 2: and that I mean, that's to me, that's not really

967
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:36,960
Speaker 2: a double standard, or it is a double standard, but

968
00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 2: it is a fair double standard. It is uh, it

969
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:43,920
Speaker 2: is have you earned the benefit of the doubt yet

970
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:45,440
Speaker 2: or not? Next?

971
00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:48,800
Speaker 4: All right, King of Fedora's asks. Will Brandon Staley be

972
00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:50,120
Speaker 4: fired after this season?

973
00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:51,920
Speaker 3: No reason? No reason.

974
00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:54,200
Speaker 4: A defensive minded head coach should have one of the

975
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:57,680
Speaker 4: worst defenses in the NFL back to back years.

976
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:01,640
Speaker 2: Okay, if they missed the pas, I do wonderful fire

977
00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 2: him now. Chargers ownership is pretty cheap by nature, doesn't

978
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:09,080
Speaker 2: like to move on from coaches early. I think probably

979
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:12,360
Speaker 2: he gets another year, and they've been so injured. But

980
00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 2: that loss against the Raiders was unacceptable by any measure. Unacceptable.

981
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:25,640
Speaker 2: And it's gonna be if the Jets or the Patriots

982
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:30,880
Speaker 2: make the playoffs and the Chargers don't. And by the way,

983
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:34,080
Speaker 2: that's what would happen. If the Chargers miss, it will

984
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:36,520
Speaker 2: be because the Jets or the Patriots take their spot,

985
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:38,440
Speaker 2: or I guess the Raiders you know, went out and

986
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:44,440
Speaker 2: do it. That is going to be I've liked Staley previously.

987
00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:47,480
Speaker 2: He obviously hasn't done a great job this year, and

988
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:52,360
Speaker 2: that team if your Brandon Staley, what you're worried about

989
00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:56,080
Speaker 2: is that Chargers ownership is going to for the first time,

990
00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:59,320
Speaker 2: maybe ever, not be cheap and go out and hire

991
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 2: Sean Payton. Because if I'm Sean Payton coaching Justin Herbert,

992
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:05,640
Speaker 2: and that's what would concern me as a Chiefs fan,

993
01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:08,160
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert getting Sean Pater as a head coach.

994
01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 4: Next, Tony ass are the Raiders better than the Chargers

995
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 4: despite their record?

996
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:15,160
Speaker 2: No, I don't think they're better. I think they have

997
01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:17,640
Speaker 2: similar issues. I do think the Raiders, though, when it's clicking,

998
01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:20,000
Speaker 2: look like a good team. Josh Jacobs looks like the

999
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 2: best running back in football, Devonte's doing great things. I

1000
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:25,200
Speaker 2: don't trust their coach, and I don't really trust their quarterback,

1001
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:27,320
Speaker 2: and I don't love their defense, but at times they

1002
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:28,600
Speaker 2: can look really good. Next.

1003
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:31,000
Speaker 4: All right, Marco's asked Nick, do you think one day

1004
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 4: soccer will be as big in the US as the

1005
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:36,480
Speaker 4: other great as the other great American sports? How much

1006
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:38,560
Speaker 4: of a fan how much of a fan number increase

1007
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:40,360
Speaker 4: do you expect until twenty twenty six?

1008
01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:43,840
Speaker 2: I don't know. About in the short term. On a

1009
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:46,760
Speaker 2: long enough horizon, do I think soccer could become the

1010
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:50,640
Speaker 2: third most popular sport? Could it pass baseball? I think

1011
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:54,000
Speaker 2: it could. I think what it is going to take

1012
01:00:55,200 --> 01:01:03,520
Speaker 2: is a Lebron level star, meaning one of the very

1013
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:08,960
Speaker 2: best players in the world, maybe not Lebron level, KD level,

1014
01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:12,640
Speaker 2: one of the best players ever, even if he doesn't

1015
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 2: have to be the best ever being an American. What

1016
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:22,000
Speaker 2: it is going to take is an American with charisman

1017
01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:27,800
Speaker 2: personality starring for one of the best clubs in Europe.

1018
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:32,960
Speaker 2: The way to make soccer popular here is not necessarily

1019
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:36,320
Speaker 2: the MLS, because Americans like to watch the best of

1020
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:39,360
Speaker 2: the best. But if an American can go over to

1021
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:42,880
Speaker 2: the premier league and kick ass that player does not

1022
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:47,800
Speaker 2: yet exist. It's not gonna be Poolicit, who's great for

1023
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:50,959
Speaker 2: an American but is not one of the twenty best

1024
01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:53,840
Speaker 2: players in the world. It is going to take someone

1025
01:01:54,520 --> 01:02:00,280
Speaker 2: that is as good as maybe don't have to be

1026
01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 2: in Bope, but as good as Benzoma is right now

1027
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:09,800
Speaker 2: as an American. It's gonna be hard to do next.

1028
01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:12,880
Speaker 4: All right, Alan says, why does demands they have pants

1029
01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:14,080
Speaker 4: on under his pants?

1030
01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:15,360
Speaker 2: Well, why don't you answer that.

1031
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:18,840
Speaker 4: It's called outside, dude. These are long John's. They're like

1032
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:23,320
Speaker 4: or you can call them thermals. I learned that thermals

1033
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:27,080
Speaker 4: are or like wind patterns in the air that like

1034
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:31,520
Speaker 4: certain birds follow. Okay, like when some people go paaras sailing,

1035
01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:34,760
Speaker 4: they use like these vultures or something to find the

1036
01:02:34,760 --> 01:02:37,320
Speaker 4: thermals so they'll be able to glide smoothly.

1037
01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:39,360
Speaker 2: What does that do with your pants?

1038
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:41,920
Speaker 3: They're called thermals, but.

1039
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:45,920
Speaker 2: I understand that. But they but so it's just they're.

1040
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:48,800
Speaker 3: The same name name. But it's also got something to

1041
01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:50,600
Speaker 3: do with the weather, so they're kind of related.

1042
01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:53,120
Speaker 2: Oh no, I got you. Listen. Monte has done hard

1043
01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:57,440
Speaker 2: work in his life. Used to build fences, was briefly. Uh,

1044
01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:02,400
Speaker 2: well it doesn't matter. I had other work that was outdoors. Uh.

1045
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:06,480
Speaker 2: And will not dress in a way to where he's

1046
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:11,000
Speaker 2: uncomfortable no matter what people think of the fashion. Did

1047
01:03:11,040 --> 01:03:15,680
Speaker 2: you see the picture someone Texas of mahomes. Yeah, mahomes

1048
01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:20,960
Speaker 2: wearing the shorts and the hoodie that demans special. I mean, listen,

1049
01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:23,880
Speaker 2: you and mahomes are around the same age. It might

1050
01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:25,040
Speaker 2: be a gen Z thing.

1051
01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:28,960
Speaker 3: It's not a gen Z thing. Man, what you gotta

1052
01:03:29,040 --> 01:03:31,320
Speaker 3: stop saying that. What do you mean it's not a

1053
01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:34,400
Speaker 3: gen Z people wear hoodies in shorts.

1054
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:37,040
Speaker 2: I think gen Z guys do. I don't think it's

1055
01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:37,640
Speaker 2: a bad thing.

1056
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:41,640
Speaker 4: I think I just saw Petrushka's husband Nick outside with

1057
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:45,120
Speaker 4: a with hoodies in a hoodie low in shorts.

1058
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:48,160
Speaker 2: Okay, well, I'm to check that real quick. Also, the

1059
01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:52,320
Speaker 2: audience doesn't know Patrushka and Nick own the ice cream

1060
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 2: shop right next door to where we do this podcast

1061
01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:57,919
Speaker 2: from sugar Hill Creamery, which is the best ice cream

1062
01:03:57,920 --> 01:03:58,520
Speaker 2: shop in the world.

1063
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:00,800
Speaker 4: But go ahead, Dave just as all up and said,

1064
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:03,919
Speaker 4: why not just get pants that cover up your legs? Well,

1065
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:06,640
Speaker 4: because I've worn the one pair of pants that I

1066
01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:09,080
Speaker 4: have that cover up my legs for the last three

1067
01:04:09,120 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 4: episodes of the podcast, so I wanted to switch it

1068
01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:12,400
Speaker 4: up a little bit.

1069
01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:18,960
Speaker 2: Demonse doesn't have an expansive wardrobe, and he recently bought

1070
01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:22,120
Speaker 2: a piece of clothing on the internet. Yeah, and it

1071
01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:24,840
Speaker 2: has not yet been delivered. It was six weeks ago,

1072
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:28,160
Speaker 2: and he's so angry about it. He refuses to spend

1073
01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:31,000
Speaker 2: money on any other clothes. Is that about right?

1074
01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:32,880
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, I do think that I'm going to

1075
01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:36,320
Speaker 4: request my money at this point, it's yo. On the

1076
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:41,440
Speaker 4: top of their website, it says basic shipping takes five

1077
01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:42,800
Speaker 4: to seven business days.

1078
01:04:42,960 --> 01:04:45,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I ordered only like ninth of November.

1079
01:04:45,720 --> 01:04:47,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think you're getting it, buddy, I think

1080
01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:48,120
Speaker 2: they screwed you.

1081
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:51,200
Speaker 3: I'm getting something. You're okay, all right?

1082
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:55,960
Speaker 2: So Gabe Goodwin says, we'll send some pants along with

1083
01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:58,040
Speaker 2: the big hat. Yeah, do that. And by the way,

1084
01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:01,280
Speaker 2: Joy Taylor tried to bite our stuff, saying she wants

1085
01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:03,440
Speaker 2: one of those big hats. So it's a race to

1086
01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:06,360
Speaker 2: see if the Blue Duck production company or a Fox

1087
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:09,200
Speaker 2: Sports production can get a big hat in our hand

1088
01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:13,040
Speaker 2: before Joy gets hers. Because if Joy gets it before us,

1089
01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:16,360
Speaker 2: everyone's gonna say we're biting Joy's style and that's unacceptable.

1090
01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:19,040
Speaker 2: Today was a great show. You did great. It's wonderful

1091
01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:22,000
Speaker 2: to be back. I'm gonna watch the end of Japan Croatia. Also,

1092
01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:24,280
Speaker 2: by the way, real quick, let me go ahead and check.

1093
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:28,800
Speaker 2: We are still on the hunt for one hundred thousand

1094
01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:33,680
Speaker 2: YouTube subscribers. We are sitting presently at right under eighty

1095
01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:37,120
Speaker 2: eight though, yep, So let's get to ninety thousand this

1096
01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:40,800
Speaker 2: week and then have a big December push to try

1097
01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:44,560
Speaker 2: to get to one hundred thousand so demons can get

1098
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:46,760
Speaker 2: the thousand dollars bonus. On the flip side, maybe we

1099
01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:48,520
Speaker 2: come just short, so I have to give them that

1100
01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:50,480
Speaker 2: thousand dollars bonus because I don't know if you've heard

1101
01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:52,640
Speaker 2: the beginning of the show, but this was not a

1102
01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:56,400
